I just saw the FF XIII trailer and all I can say is WOW that's beautiful. Your technical ability and presentation is second to none. It's really beautiful.
I have no desire to buy it, but it's beautiful. The 10 seconds of gameplay mixed in all that was an elaboration of the FF XII action battle format that turns me right off.
I don't think Square thinks too highly of it's old school fans.The people who grew up with FF1 through IX who skipped out of everything after X. I want Final Fantasy to be turnbased and story driven. A steam powered fairytale. Not a JPOP super future music video. Bring back the ATB for people like me and chillax on the guns. The Spirits Within was an amazing technical achievement too. How did that treat you guys financially?
Business Tips
1. Support the Nintendo Wii with games.
Remake FFVII with the option to use the IR pointer to select menus or select targets/spells in game. Upgrade the Gold Saucer mini-games to support motion controls. Give people access to the Gold Saucer minis from the Start Menu. 4 player family play. People will buy it for the mini's and stay with it for the classic story. Audience Expansion. New customers to addict to Square's presentation.
2. Spruce up Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerebus with motion and IR controls (respectively) and Wii pointer menu functionality and bring them to the Wii as "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII". Sell it for 29.99 as is and you'll make money. Address the engine issues and repetitive enemies from Dirge of Cerebus while adding IR aiming and replacing the "Lucky 7" Powerup in Crisis Core and your stock will go up.
3. Make Chrono Trigger 2: The Search for Schala. Keep the core gameplay close to the original. Did you see The Street Fighter IV trailer? Have you played the DBZ games? Did you play No More Heroes yet? That's your art style. Run with it. Build it on Wii and release it multi-console. Nobody should miss out on Chrono Trigger.
4. Release FF XIII on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Everything I've read says it's MUCH easier to port from PS3 to 360 than visa versa. Port it. Don't miss out on sales because your tied to Sony. Sony is more dependent on you than you need to be on them. And the 360 and the Wii are the keys to the US market.
5. Develop new IPs. Tobal, Einhander, Actraiser, The Bouncer, Parasite Eve, Front Mission, Musashi, Star Ocean! Let your programmers and directors experiment with games like you use to. Give them the room to flex their imaginations and their prowess outside of the Final Fantasy universe. Shooters, Platformers, Minigame compilations.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly observed in the intensive care unit (ICU), where it can be caused by a variety of factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of urinary angiotensinogen, a candidate prognostic AKI biomarker identified in post-cardiac surgery patients, in this heterogeneous population.
Urinary angiotensinogen was measured by ELISA and corrected for urine creatinine in 45 patients who developed AKI in the ICU. Patients were grouped by AKI etiology, and the angiotensinogen-to-creatinine ratio (uAnCR) was compared among the groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The ability of uAnCR to predict the following endpoints was tested using the area under the ROC curve (AUC): the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) or death, increased length of stay (defined as hospital discharge > 7 days or death ≤ 7 days from sample collection), and worsening AKI (defined as an increase in serum creatinine > 0.3 mg/dL after sample collection or RRT).
uAnCR was significantly elevated in patients who met the composite outcome RRT or death (89.4 vs 25.4 ng/mg; P = 0.01), and it was a strong predictor of this outcome (AUC = 0.73). Patients with uAnCR values above the median for the cohort (55.21 ng/mg) had increased length of stay compared to patients with uAnCR ≤ 55.21 ng/mg (22 days vs 7 days after sample collection; P = 0.01). uAnCR was predictive of the outcome increased length of stay (AUC = 0.77). uAnCR was also a strong predictor of worsening of AKI (AUC = 0.77). The uAnCR of patients with pre-renal AKI was lower compared to patients with AKI of other causes (median uAnCR 11.3 vs 80.2 ng/mg; P = 0.02).
Elevated urinary angiotensinogen is associated with adverse events in AKI patients in the ICU. It could be used to identify high risk patients who would benefit from timely intervention that could improve their outcomes.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is reflected by an increase in serum creatinine (sCr) or a decrease in urine output, the magnitude of which is used to assess the severity of renal injury using the risk, injury, failure, loss, end-stage renal failure (RIFLE) or Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) staging systems [1, 2]. A patient's risk of both short- and long-term adverse outcomes is correlated with the severity of AKI as determined using these staging systems [3–7]. For example, a large retrospective cohort study of a critically ill population reported that the odds ratio (OR) for in-hospital mortality increased from 2.07 in AKIN stage 1 patients to 2.99 in AKIN stage 3 patients [8]. However, because sCr does not reach steady state until after an acute reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has occurred, the severity of AKI can only be definitively determined late in the disease. The conceptual framework for understanding AKI proposed by Murray et al. underscores the importance of progression from the early stages of AKI, in which an at-risk patient experiences renal injury, to later stages of the disease, which include decreased GFR, renal failure, and death [9]. Similarly, the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for AKI highlights the need for accurate assessment of a patient's risk of adverse outcomes, notably progression to a more severe stage of AKI after renal injury has occurred [10].
Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine if a patient with a small increase in sCr will worsen, improve, or stay the same. Furthermore, it is not possible to differentiate mild from severe AKI at an early time point using conventional diagnostic criteria. Biomarkers that reflect the magnitude of tubular injury at the time they are collected could serve this function. Novel AKI biomarkers such as kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), IL-18, and Cystatin C can diagnose AKI prior to detectable changes in sCr [11–19]. However, two recent studies have reported unadjusted area under the curve (AUC) values for prediction of worsening AKI between 0.58 and 0.71, suggesting that diagnostic AKI biomarkers are of lesser predictive value among patients who already have established AKI [20, 21]. Therefore, prognostic biomarkers that predict outcomes in patients with established AKI are needed.
We recently identified urinary angiotensinogen as a novel prognostic biomarker, capable of predicting adverse outcomes including worsening of AKI and the need for renal replacement therapy after cardiac surgery [22]. However, AKI is a heterogenous syndrome that can be caused by many precipitating factors other than surgery, and it is common among critically ill patients. Because the prognostic predictive power of an AKI biomarker may differ with the pathobiology underlying the etiology it is necessary to determine if the prognostic predictive value of angiotensinogen is generalizable to AKI of other etiologies. Therefore, in the current study we investigated the prognostic predictive power of angiotensinogen in a cohort of critically ill, non-surgical patients in the ICU, who developed AKI.
Materials and methods
Patients and urine samples
All patients (n = 45) had been admitted to the ICU at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Hospital. Patients either had AKI at ICU admission or developed AKI during their stay in the ICU. AKI was defined according to the AKIN criteria [2]. When possible, baseline sCr was defined as the most recent (within 1 month) value prior to the AKI episode. When antecedent sCr values were not available, the lowest sCr observed during the patient's hospital stay was used as the baseline. Informed consent was obtained from the patients or their next of kin prior to urine sample collection, in accordance with the MUSC Institutional Review Board approved protocols. The only exclusion criteria were initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) prior to sample collection and non-consent. Patients for this study were selected retrospectively to perform a case-control study of ICU patients diagnosed with AKI at the time of urine sample collection. The primary outcome was the need for renal replacement therapy or death, and patients who had AKI at the time of sample collection but did not meet the primary outcome were selected as controls. Decisions about initiating RRT were made by the clinical attending physician. Samples were collected at the time that the diagnosis of AKI was made. If patients had AKI on admission, samples were collected immediately after admission. Urine samples were processed according to a standard operating procedure. They were treated with a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Indianopolis, IN), Mini, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-free), centrifuged for 10 minutes at 1,000 × g and the supernatant was aspirated and stored at -80°C until the time of use. Clinical data were obtained by retrospective chart review. Etiology of AKI was determined and patients were assigned to one of four categories: pre-renal, ischemic Acute tubular necrosis (ATN), sepsis-associated AKI, and other. Pre-renal AKI was defined as an episode of AKI in the setting of hypotension or hypovolemia in which the patient's sCr decreased to < 150% of baseline within 48 hours after diagnosis. Ischemic ATN was defined as severe, prolonged AKI following any event that compromises renal blood flow or oxygen delivery. The specific events observed in our cohort included ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, cardiogenic shock, and exacerbation of congestive heart failure. Patients for whom the etiology could not be determined or was multifactorial were included in the category, other.
Determination of urinary angiotensinogen-to-creatinine ratio
Urinary angiotensinogen was measured using the Human Total Angiotensinogen Assay Kit (Immuno-Biological Laboratories Co., Ltd., IBL-America, Minneapolis, MN, USA), a solid-phase sandwich ELISA, according to the manufacturer's protocol. Urine creatinine was measured using the Jaffe assay and used to correct the urine angiotensinogen concentration as was done in the previous analysis of angiotensinogen as a biomarker after cardiac surgery. Values were reported as the ratio of angiotensinogen in ng/ml to creatinine in mg/ml (uAnCR, ng/mg). The AUC value was higher for the primary outcome when creatinine corrected values were used (not shown).
The primary outcome was the composite outcome of the need for RRT or death. Increased length of hospital stay was defined as hospital discharge > 7 days from the day of sample collection or death ≤ 7 days from sample collection. Worsening of AKI was defined as an additional increase in sCr > 0.3 mg/dL from the sCr at the time of the urine sample collection or the initiation of RRT.
Statistical analysis
The Kruskal-Wallis test and post hoc Dunn's test were used to compare the uAnCR values of patients grouped by AKI etiology. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used when only two groups were compared. Other continuous variables were compared using the t- test or Mann-Whitney U-test. Categorical variables were compared using the chi squared (χ2) or Fisher's exact tests. Logistic regression was used to determine the multiplicative OR for a one SD increase in uAnCR. However, because uAnCR was not normally distributed, it was first log10 transformed for this analysis. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were used to test the ability of uAnCR to predict outcomes, and the AUC was used as an estimate of an overall accuracy of the biomarker. The ROC curve was considered statistically significant if the AUC differed from 0.5, as determined by the z-test. Optimal cutoffs were determined by selecting the data point that minimized the geometric distance from 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity on the ROC curve. Additional cutoffs were determined by selecting the points on the ROC at which the positive and negative likelihood ratios were maximized and minimized, respectively. The Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation between uAnCR and length of hospital stay. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to visualize the relationship between uAnCR and length of hospital stay. Patients who died were censored. The log rank test was used to compare the curves. Cox regression was used to calculate the proportional hazard ratio for time to discharge comparing patients with high and low uAnCR (defined as > the median or ≤ the median of the cohort). The Cox proportional hazard model included both the patient's uAnCR and AKIN stage at collection.

In this study we also used the maximum LR+ and minimum LR- to define cutoffs at which patients could be stratified into high risk and low risk groups for each outcome, and showed that using these cutoffs, the risk of a significant percentage of the cohort could be assigned with a high level of confidence. We evaluated multiple cutoff values since the purpose of a biomarker affects the threshold that will be used. This approach could be particularly useful for screening patients for enrollment into a clinical trial to enrich the study population with patients who will meet the outcome. For instance, a study to test the efficacy of early initiation of RRT could use as an inclusion criterion a uAnCR value > 230 ng/mg. Using this cutoff we identified 43.5% of the patients who would require RRT or die, while excluding 95.5% of patients who would not meet the endpoint. Therefore, if a target enrollment of 500 is assumed, we would only enroll 45 patients who would not meet the endpoint RRT or death, and who would gain no survival benefit from the intervention. However, using this cutoff we need to screen a total of 2,083 patients to meet the target enrollment. Of the 1,583 patients screened but not enrolled, 589 would eventually meet the endpoint, and so the benefit of enrichment would need to be weighed against the cost of screening.
Our findings could also have important implications for our understanding of the pathobiology of AKI. Angiotensinogen is the principal substrate of renin, and a major driver of activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Animal studies have suggested a role for the RAS in the molecular mechanisms of AKI. It has been observed that angiotensin II increases and angiotensin 1-7, the molecular counterbalance of angiotensin II decreases in kidney tissue following ischemia reperfusion injury in rats [28, 29]. Angiotensin II can contribute to renal injury through pro-inflammatory effects mediated by the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway, and it has been demonstrated that inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme and the angiotensin II type 1 receptor with captopril and losartan, respectively, reduce renal inflammation and mitigate the severity of AKI in rats subjected to renal ischemia reperfusion injury [30, 31]. Interestingly, intrarenal angiotensin II concentration strongly correlates with urinary angiotensinogen concentration (r = 0.79), but is not correlated with plasma angiotensinogen [32]. Our findings are suggestive of a role of the RAS in modulating the severity of AKI, a notion which is supported by a recent study in which an association was reported between severity of tubular atrophy and urinary angiotensinogen among individuals with chronic kidney disease [33].
Urinary AnCR could be useful as a prognostic AKI biomarker in the setting of the ICU. It could be used to evaluate a patient's risk of adverse outcomes, potentially leading to an altered interventional strategy or improved enrollment in clinical trials. Angiotensinogen also appears to discriminate between AKI of pre-renal etiology and other etiologies and may be useful to discriminate between patients with pre-renal azotemia and intrinsic renal injury.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #496134 +++
We can still erroneously optimize some lambda-bindings into flat closure slots.
Case 1: The position of x is extended, but not far enough:
(function () {
var [x, y] = [1, function () x];
assertEq(y(), 1); // FAIL
Case 2: UndominateInitializers quits too soon if it sees a syntactic mismatch between the rhs and the lhs.
(function () {
var obj = {prop: 1};
var [x, {prop: y}] = [function () y, obj];
assertEq(y, 1); // PASS
assertEq(x(), 1); // FAIL
A silly instance of case 2:
(function () {
var [x, y] = {"0": function () y, "1": 13};
assertEq(x(), 13); // FAIL
I think the fix is for UndominateInitializers to search the entire LHS regardless of whether it matches the RHS structurally, and extend the position of each declared variable to cover the entire RHS. This seems like a nice simplification. Taking.

Woman in the Workforce
TargetWoman is an informative portal dedicated to Women - This section looks at different aspects of the work - Career opportunities for Women, Working from Home and general resources for work.
Women don many roles these days - career woman, working mother, stay-at-home mom and homemaker. It all began around the time of the World War II. Women were seen entering the workforce in small numbers. But by the 1960s, there were significant number of women seeking employment. Statistics show an increasing number of women in the workforce since the final decades of the twentieth century.
It it not surprising that increased level of education is leading to more jobs for women and better jobs too. The women workforce is largely noticed in the age group of 25 - 55. Women have some gender-specific issues regarding their work such as day care and maternity leave.
Work Life Balance
Juggling work and home is no mean task. Multitasking is often the order of the day. Maintaining a healthy balance of work and life outside it is essential for your physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Take up some form of exercise. Do not use work as an excuse to avoid it.
What is needed for both men and women professionals to usher in a work conscious environment, one that will allow both to actualize their potential and achieve their dreams? We bring you the best of the web on work ethic, work spirit and all the latest happenings on the work scene.

- For Those That Slept Series
In an industry where both longevity and productivity can be fleeting, few producers can claim the continued diligence of Nick Wiz. Born in NYC, but raised across the river in nearby Teaneck, New Jersey, Nick Wiz has been a Hip-Hop mainstay since his teenage years. Having first impacted the early 90's Hip-Hop scene with his beat contributions to Ecko Unlimited's "Underground Airplay" cassette series (which are now highly collectable); Wiz's sound was a considerable part of the early Lyricist Lounge movement. Working with Lounge alum, The Cella Dwellas, on their classic 1996 debut album, further cemented Nick Wiz as an up-and-coming beat phenom. From there his unique fusion of filters, horns, smacking SP-1200 drums and dense bass-lines were soon heard on projects from Mad Skillz, Darc Mind, Chubb Rock, Chino XL, Rakim and others. With this influx of production work coming his way, Nick's New Jersey studio, appropriately named "The Cellar", was constantly flooded with both Hip-Hop's elite talent and the best of the 90's underground scene as well. While a lot of the material produced and recorded by Wiz found its way to full-length CD releases, countless other tracks were unreleased, relegated to vinyl bootlegs / 12" only versions, or cassette only. With the help of No Sleep Recordings, Nick Wiz has finally pulled out his original DAT tapes and un-vaulted some gems. "Cellar Sounds Vol. 1" is an anthology of vintage unreleased material from the likes of Rakim, The Cella Dwellas, and Channel Live all the way to underground favorites like Shabaam Sahdeeq, Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard and Lord Have Mercy. Also found on this incredible 2CD set are selections from the obscure "Underground Airplay" tapes, unreleased remixes of classic songs, and amazing demos from lyricists throughout NYC and New Jersey. Forty-four tracks in total, spanning from Wiz's early recordings in 1992 to his zenith in 1998, this is a true time-capsule of the Nineties underground Hip-Hop sound; presented in perfect digital quality! Part three of the "For Those That Slept" series.

We propose to define the expression and function of the adenosine receptors (ARs) in the sino-atrial node (SAN) pacemaker complex in order to elucidate the role of adenosine signaling in heart rate regulation in failing and non-failing human hearts. The overall objective of the study is to understand the role of adenosine and ARs in SAN dysfunction and arrhythmias during heart failure (HF). Our central hypothesis is that SAN dysfunction in HF results from adenosine-dependent remodeling and signaling. We will use an integrated approach to study normal physiologic and HF-induced remodeling processes in canine and human hearts to delineate the role of adenosine in the normal and pathologic function of the SAN. The complementary canine studies are designed to provide a framework for the targeted, efficient study of the human SAN. We have the expertise, experimental model, and human tissue access to evaluate our hypothesis that AR signaling is critical for both normal SAN function, as well as HF-induced SAN arrhythmias. Preliminary studies support the aims, feasibility of the experimental approaches, and the validity of the canine model as a surrogate for human SAN - now directly demonstrated by new pilot studies. We are well prepared to undertake this project because the Dr. Fedorov (P.I.) has unique optical mapping expertise to evaluate human SAN structure and function;this, combined with the expertise of Dr. Carnes (Co-P.I.) with a clinically relevant model of heart failure isolated myocyte physiology (ion currents) will permit an integrated approach to this problem. Identifying the spatial, structural and signaling elements contributing to abnormal SAN function will delineate the susceptible components causing potentially lethal arrhythmias. This will permit development of a novel 'blueprint'for SAN function and dysfunction, providing a foundation for the development of highly targeted and effective treatments for human arrhythmias originating in the SAN pacemaker complex.
Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is too weak to meet the needs of the body. During heart failure the normal pacemaker, which determines heart rate, becomes impaired;many times heart failure patients need an electronic pacemaker to maintain their heart rate. Our goal is to understand how changes in the biochemistry of the human heart during heart failure lead to abnormal heart rates. Information from this study could be used to improve therapies to regulate heart rate for heart failure patients.

Sociology of Early Buddhism by Greg Bailey
Book DescriptionEarly Buddhism flourished because it was able to take up the challenge represented by buoyant economic conditions and the need for cultural uniformity in the newly emergent states in north-eastern India from the fifth century BCE onwards. This book begins with the apparent inconsistency of Buddhism, a renunciant movement, surviving within a strong urban environment, and draws out the implications of this. In spite of the Buddhist ascetic imperative, the Buddha and other celebrated monks moved easily through various levels of society and fitted into the urban landscape they inhabited. The Sociology of Early Buddhism tells how and why the early monks were able to exploit the social and political conditions of mid-first millennium north-eastern India in such a way as to ensure the growth of Buddhism into a major world religion. Its readership lies both within Buddhist studies and more widely among historians, sociologists and anthropologists of religion.

koran angel
picked up a koran angel yesterday.have a hard time feeding.tried algae flakes,spinich,freeze dried shrimp.even tried small pieces of krill.need help feeding him.
Hi knowbest congrats on your koran ive had one before, anyways what I fed was Mysis (not to much though or he will get HLLE) and try some nori that might work, and there is also something called angelfish formula that also might be a good choice and maybe New Life Spectrum. Try that see if it works :|
Also, saying it has been less than a day, I wouldn't expect him to eat. None of my new pick ups ever eat until the second or third day.
Give it time. Should tried to graze on Rock/Deco though?
I love the Koran, definitely one of my top 10 marine fish. They are generally very sturdy fish and easy to feed. Is it the only fish in the tank? It is much more likely to feed quickly if there are other fish for it to observe at feeding time.
In any case, I would be patient. Start with frozen brine shrimp or garlic soaked flakes. Both are great to stimulate first time feeding in captivity.
By the way, what size tank do you have?
40 bow front
Don't koran angels need a much bigger tank than 40 gallons? Don't they get huge?
Wait, yeah found it. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...412&pcatid=412
I don't think so..
40 gallons? I hope you are kidding.

Maryland Trophy Archery Deer
I was in a 20 ft ladder stand at 8 am on November 12, 2005. It was my first time with a compound bow and a tree stand. I heard a crack and looked and there stood a buck about 20 yards in front of me. I stood slowly and went to draw when my arrow slipped off the rest. The buck looked right at me and I froze. When he started to feed again I put the arrow back on the string and came to full draw. He walked about 3 ft and I had a clear shot. I was lucky enough to make a double lung shot. He dropped about a 100 ft down the hill. He weighed almost 200 lbs. A 10 pointer taken at Rosebud Farm in Harwood Maryland. A true trophy for a first deer!

text: Education Saginaw ends program that put grandparents in schools By The Associated Press • Sep 20, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan school district is ending a program that put grandparents in the classroom. Grandparents for years got a small payment for volunteering to help Saginaw teachers and students. Elease Watson tells WNEM-TV that sometimes a simple hug can change a kid's day. But Superintendent Nate McClain says the district can't use certain grants to pay for the program. He says the money is reserved for instruction. Detroit Public Schools deficit grows as Lansing debates district's future By Sarah Cwiek • Sep 17, 2015 Detroit Public Schools The Detroit Public Schools is in even bigger financial trouble than previously thought, according to a state report filed this week. In its June 2015 quarterly report on school district deficits, the Michigan Department of Education pegged DPS's annual budget deficit at $166,359,414. Republicans spar with Snyder, state education chief over DPS rescue By Jake Neher • Sep 16, 2015 Jake Neher / MPRN There's a deep divide at the state Capitol over plans to rescue Detroit Public Schools. The governor hopes to sell lawmakers on a plan to restructure DPS and have the state pay off its massive debt. He says state-appointed emergency managers drove up that debt. Democrats unveil "Yes Means Yes" bills meant to prevent campus sexual assaults By Jake Neher • Sep 15, 2015 Jeremy Brooks / flickr http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM If some Democrats in Lansing get their way, all high school sex education classes would teach that "yes means yes" when it comes to sex. The legislation says anything short of a conscious "yes" does not count as consent to sex. University of Michigan drops sexual assault ruling against former student By Kate Wells • Sep 14, 2015 Wikimedia Commons The University of Michigan has agreed to erase the findings of a sexual assault investigation against Drew Sterrett, a former student. In exchange, Sterrett will drop a lawsuit he filed against the university. Sterrett's case has made him kind of a poster boy for critics who feel universities are overcorrecting on college rape, with a lawsuit that details all kinds of alleged flaws in the school's investigation process – like failing to include evidence from a roommate who was present while the sexual incident occurred. White House changing FAFSA process to help more students afford college By Associated Press • Sep 14, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Aspiring college students will be able to apply for federal financial aid three months earlier than now and submit a previous year's tax return, changes aimed at helping more people pay for school, the White House said. Under the current system, students planning to start school in the fall of 2017 must wait until January of that year to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The new system will let them complete the form as early as October 2016, the month that marks the traditional start to the college application season. Revamped third grade reading bill gets good reviews at first hearing By Jake Neher • Sep 10, 2015 morgueFile A bill to improve third graders' reading skills in Michigan is winning support from Democrats and some school groups. The bipartisan bill differs quite a bit from controversial legislation that died last year. That bill would have forced schools to prevent kids who fail a state reading test from advancing to the fourth grade. A Detroit family's long journey to the first day of school By Zak Rosen • Sep 10, 2015 Zak Rosen / Michigan Radio On her first day of school, Franca Grassi woke up, ate a bowl of oatmeal with diced nectarines and maple syrup. She brushed her teeth with the help of a Mickey Mouse iPhone app. Then her parents, Nikki Rittenour and Marc Grassi, drove her to school in their station wagon. Going beyond the classroom: a playground for kids, by kids By Stateside Staff • Sep 8, 2015 flickr user Takuma Kimura / http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM Listen Listening... / 6:30 Our conversation with Rachael Van Dyke, Laura Amtower and Lily Papp Instead of letting the adults decide how to overhaul a school playground, why not go to the consumers? Why not ask the kids who will be using it? That's the idea behind the design and upcoming construction of a new playscape at Ann Arbor's STEAM at Northside school, and the organizers think what they've learned can help other schools. Here's how one Michigan college trains freshmen about sexual assault prevention By Kate Wells • Sep 8, 2015 CMU Colleges are now legally required to train new students about sexual assault prevention and awareness. That's part of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act. And it turns out the training at Central Michigan University has been pretty popular for a while now. A lot of other colleges have hired CMU's training group. The Navy even brought them to instruct groups of sailors and Marines. So we thought, what better time to check it out? Calley calls for law banning "inhumane," "barbaric" practices in special education By Jake Neher • Sep 8, 2015 Michigan House Republicans Lt. Gov. Brian Calley is pushing for changes in Michigan's special education system. He outlined findings of his special education listening tour and survey on Tuesday to the state Board of Education. Of almost 2,000 parents surveyed, 24% said their child had been subjected to restraints or seclusion. Flint high schoolers start the new school year with a handshake By Steve Carmody • Sep 8, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio It's the first day of school in much of Michigan. Dozens of men stood in the rain at the entrance to Flint's Northwestern High School greeting students as they stepped off the bus. From politicians to pastors, the men shook the students' hands and wished them "good morning". Unless lawmakers act, student growth will play a bigger role in teacher evaluations this year By Lindsey Smith • Sep 7, 2015 user Wonderlane / Flickr Students heading back to class this week will play a more important role in teacher evaluations this year. Last school year, state law mandated student growth had to be a "significant" factor in K-12 teacher evaluations. But local leaders got to decide what "significant" meant in their districts. As schools open across state, lawmakers work to reopen Highland Park high school By Jake Neher • Sep 7, 2015 user alkruse24 / Flickr Tuesday marks the first time the city of Highland Park will not offer high school classes. The district's emergency manager Don Weatherspoon closed the city's only high school due to low enrollment. Prisoners donate cash for uniforms and school supplies By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Sep 4, 2015 Nicolae Gerasim / Flickr Michigan prisoners have raised more than $53,000 to help buy children school uniforms and supplies. The program, Dress for Success, is part of the Pathways to Potential project of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Michigan teacher shortage: having all certified teachers in some areas "a pipe dream" By Lindsey Smith • Sep 4, 2015 moare / MorgueFile Michigan expects there will be a shortage of teachers in certain subjects this school year. Early childhood, special education, foreign language and a variety of occupational teachers are facing a "critical" shortage. Flint schools ponder future of unused former schools By Steve Carmody • Sep 1, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Flint's new school superintendent wants to do something with the district's unused buildings. Superintendent Bilal Tawwab says he's forming a task force to figure out what's the best thing to do with nearly two dozen empty school buildings, many of which have sat unused for years. Credit downgrades another sign of trouble in Michigan's schools By Sarah Cwiek • Aug 31, 2015 Wikipedia Forty-three Michigan school districts will start this school year with a lower credit rating. The Detroit News reports that Moody's Investors Service downgraded the districts over the past year. For college freshmen, a lesson in sexual assault preparedness By Kate Wells • Aug 31, 2015 CMU Right now, college freshman around the state are getting training about sexual assault on campus. At Central Michigan University, that even means going into the profile of perpetrators who commit acquaintance rape. Facing accreditation dilemma, Oakland Community College curtails online courses By Sarah Cwiek • Aug 28, 2015 wikimedia commons Oakland Community College, Michigan's largest community college system, will sharply cut back its online course offerings next year. OCC has offered online courses for years. More recently, it sought accreditation as a "virtual campus" that's authorized to grant online-learning based degrees as well. Detroit's Friends School, only Quaker school in Michigan, closes – for now By Sarah Cwiek • Aug 27, 2015 Friends School Detroit / via Facebook Michigan's only Quaker-run school is closing its doors—at least for now. Detroit's Friends School told parents the news this week. Parents and board members say it's a huge blow to the school and larger Detroit communities. What's in the new Ann Arbor teacher contract? By Kate Wells • Aug 27, 2015 Ann Arbor Public Schools The one-year contract gives all teachers a small pay bump, and the union and the district agree that teachers have now gotten most of the back pay they were promised when they took previous wage cuts. The school district says the new contract also officially puts the district in compliance with recent state laws, which say that the union can't bargain over certain "prohibited" subjects, including: A youth reporter takes you inside the huddle By Zak Rosen & Jai'Shaun Isom • Aug 27, 2015 Nicholas Williams As summer fades into fall, another season of high school football is set to begin.

The Sam Blaze Agency presents Free Modeling Classes

Kristi Lin Finch and The Sam Blaze Agency are proud to bring this FREE Modeling Class to Atlanta, GA. Mrs. Finch has helped to start the modeling careers of dozens of students as a trainer with one of the oldest and top modeling schools in the United States before going on to model and act throughout the U.S. and abroad for a decade. Kristi recently completed and is awaiting the release of her first book written for aspiring models and parents of aspiring models that gives an in-depth look into the business of modeling. The FREE Modeling Classes will teach posing and runway and includes 3 bonus topics, Fashion, Etiquette, and Health and Fitness. Kristi describes why she offers the classes for free when so many people are capitalizing off of it. "Models are not training for the Olympics. Most models do not need much training to get off and running. In our industry, experience is the better teacher. When I was just getting started I didn't know where to turn. I created this class so that parents and aspiring models could get the information they need to help their sons and daughters to begin living out their dreams", Kristi says.

The time and gas that it takes to grocery shop outside the city, and being the one of very few black people shopping at the store (while there are many black people working at the store), can be intimidating and daunting. I have often times been mistaken as a person working at the store while I am shopping, in addition to being stared at, bumped into, and ignored at the deli counter. I have even felt completely invisible in this environment at times. These experiences have left me wanting to just go to the McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, or Kentucky Fried Chicken on a daily basis for my nourishment. Which, by the way, are the restaurants that are plentiful in my neighborhood that I fondly refer to as "the hood."
At my local pharmacy every drug that I need for managing my type 2 diabetes is in short supply. At times, I have to call first to make sure they have what I need or I have to wait several days before it is available. I have yet to understand why this phenomenon exists, I just know that it is inconvenient at best.
I am living in an area that the middle class left a long time ago, and those of us earning a mid-level income (that have decided to stay), have to manage life and our health issues with barriers that have everything to do with racism, social justice, fair housing, and access to information. The challenges can be overwhelming. But I'm very thankful that I have the resources to manage my disease—resources such as healthcare, transportation, a gym in the apartment I live in, and a support network of friends that will keep my sugar numbers in check.
In the meantime, I have some encouraging news. Detroit has begun to explore urban farming in vacant lots across the city where organic fruits and vegetables are available to all citizens for free. Our mayor has decided to have community discussions about re-mapping the city of Detroit to address our transportation, vacant lots, and housing issues.
Last but certainly not least, I have found a peer support group for Detroiters managing type 2 diabetes, which is being held at a community center on the east side for all residents. The next meeting is Saturday, October 2, 2010, and my plan is to go and find out how we can support each other while managing our disease in an urban setting that lacks the basic needs of a thriving community, but has potential.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay. The formulary for these, as stated by CVS/Caremark (my pharmacy benefits provider), covers all test strips, lancets, and control solutions. I dutifully get my doctor to write up prescriptions for all of my testing needs, submit...
