University Center, MI - Saginaw Valley State University
researchers have found a connection between a recent drop in
Saginaws violent crime rate and a Michigan State Housing
Development Authority (MSHDA) initiative aimed at eliminating
blighted structures from the city.
Andrew Miller, SVSU assistant professor of geography, led the
study. He presented the findings during a Tuesday, May 26 symposium
that also featured U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee.
The event was a focus on Saginaws community development since
receiving $11.2 million in MSHDA funds to demolish abandoned homes
beginning in late 2013.
Millers analysis was commissioned by Saginaw City Hall officials
looking to track the impact of the MSHDA funds the city received.
He said the study represents SVSUs dedication both to community
interaction and hands-on learning.
This is a local university using local information to solve
local problems, Miller
Study Supports Link Between Blight Elimination and Drop in
Saginaw Crime, SVSU Study Reports
said. On top of that, were using local students with skills they
attained at a local university to service their communities.
Beginning in April, Miller performed statistical analysis while
two of his students were responsible for much of the studys data
management and GIS work.
Those students were Mitchell Kloc, a professional and technical
writing major from Freeland, and Daniel Johnson, a criminal justice
major from Sparta who graduated in May. Johnson continued working
on the project after he completed his studies.
John Stemple, Saginaws chief inspector, said he and other City
Hall officials turned to SVSU to conduct the study because of the
universitys strong record of community engagement.
The City of Saginaw has partnered with SVSU on several occasions
with positive results, including participation in the
multi-jurisdictional Saginaw
County Crime Prevention Council, resulting in a crime statistics
basis for creating crime measurement tools, Stemple said.
In 2013-14, Miller and SVSU undergraduate students conducted
research that helped Saginaw law enforcement leaders better
understand the citys crime hot spots.
That research received national media attention, and led to a
related study that extended to the county level in 2014-15.
City officials are pleased with SVSUs community commitment and
encouraged by the research findings.
It is because of these long-standing relationships, the faculty
and students commitment to seeing Saginaw prosper - and ultimately
a report prepared by SVSU - which tells us we are on the road to
prosperity, Stemple said.
Reported incidents of part one crimes dropped from 2,631 in 2012
to 2,115 in 2013, when the MSHDA funds were made available for the
latter part of the year. The crime figure dropped to 1,868 in 2014,
marking a 29 percent reduction over that two-year span.
To date, MSHDA has funded the demolition of 599 abandoned
structures; law enforcement experts say such blight contributes to
crime. The MSHDA money will fund 301 more demolitions. That would
eliminate half of the estimated 1,800 abandoned homes the city
counted in 2013.
Millers study also tracked trends in specific neighborhoods. The
research showed crime hot spots had cooled in the areas where the
concentration of demolition was heaviest. Those neighborhoods
largely were located specifically in Saginaws Houghton-Jones and
Cathedral districts.
Other contributing factors to the drop in crime include the
assignment of Michigan State Police patrols to the city as well as
a decline in Saginaws population, Miller said.
In 2015, SVSU received the Community Engagement classification
from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, a
distinction achieved by only 7 percent of U.S. colleges and
universities.

Univision Acquires African-American News Site The RootBy Frank
Pallotta
N. Y. - Univision, the premier media company for Latinos in the
U.S., has acquired the African-American oriented news and culture
website The Root.
This bold new partnership between Univision and The Root
underscores the ties that have long bound people of color together
throughout the Western Hemisphere, said The Root co-founder,
Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., in a statement on Thursday.
According to Univision, The Root will be able to use the
companys facilities and infrastructure, but will maintain its
editorial objective and voice.
Gates said the partnership represents a sign of even greater
levels of communication, collaboration and exchange
between these culturally vital groups of people.
The Root, founded in 2008, has crafted itself into a leading
website for African-Americans. The site has built an audience of 5
million unique users a month, according to data research company
ComScore.
The website was previously owned by The Graham Holdings Company
via The Slate Group.
By bringing in The Root, Univision expands its brand to more
diverse audiences.
Like Univision, The Root aims to serve a significant segment of
Americas diverse population, Isaac Lee, president of News and
Digital for Univision Communications Inc. said in a statement. This
game-changing
union strengthens our ability to fulfill our shared missions of
informing and empowering our communities.
Univisions most famous anchor, Jorge Ramos, broke through to
mainstream audiences in April when he was named one of Times 100
most influential people.
The anchor, who is considered to be the most influential
Hispanic anchor in the country, made one of Times five main covers
alongside other influential people like musician Kanye West and
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Also in April, Univision ended its longest-running show, Sabado
Gigante.
Gigante was a flagship broadcast that was on the
Spanish-language network for more than 50 years.

8 Effective Listening Skills for Sales ProfessionalsBy Robert
R.
MI- When you meet a potential client for the first time you
should listen more than you should speak. By performing effective
listening you will gain important sales intelligence, but you will
also show that you are genuinely interested in building customer
relationships and that you are more interested in them than just
closing another sale.
1. Are you nervous or insecure? You might be communicating that
with your eyes. As a sales professional, you need to maintain eye
contact in a natural and appropriate way.
When you are at the critical stage of building rapport and trust
with customers, you cant undermine your message with shifting body
language.
2. Observe the body language of your audience. Be sensitive to
what is not being said. If someone is interested in your solution
they will likely show you with their body language before they tell
you with their voice.
3. Practice Patience. It can be very hard to do. Dont interrupt.
Let the speaker finish and never change the subject.
By letting the speaker finish, it will only allow you to collect
more intelligence that you can use later in the sales process. This
is one of the most important elements of building relationships
with customers.
4. Listen empathetically and listen to understand. This idea
goes back to one of Dale Carnegies quotes about listening which is
to become genuinely interested in other people.
The only way to deliver a personal solution to each customer is
to have an honest understanding of what they want. Know what your
customer needs and when appropriate take notes.
5. Make sure you clarify any uncertainties to minimize
communication barriers. Even if you might not have a question, ask
one. When you get the other person talking you will find out more
information than you ever thought possible.
6. Dont make conclusions or assumptions. Sales calls are funny.
People are different. It is important to meet every opportunity and
conversation with an open mind and accepting attitude.
7. Practice pure listening. When the other person is talking you
should act as if they are the only person in the world. Remove all
distractions, especially your phone. This is a very important for
effective communication. Did I mention you should turn your phone
off or on silent?
8. Prepare to focus on the client. Customer focus is vital. Take
a minute before the meeting or call to put all your focus on the
speaker or customer.
This practice will allow you to better understand the voice of
the customer. When working on building relationships with
customers, using your effective listening skills are absolutely
critical.
Remember, you should be listening more than talking. Keep that
in mind when you meet a potential customer for the first time.

Culture and Heal th Behavior
Mukeba Kabongo
By Mukeba KabongoWash. - As a robust young man and future
health professional, I lead a healthy life by maintaining a
healthy body weight in order to minimize my risk of getting certain
diseases in the future.
There are a myriad of reasons that can explain why some people
engage in risky health behaviors, and culture is one of the most
influential ones.
First, what do I mean by lifestyle choices?The Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) explains that people establish patterns of
behavior and make lifestyle choices that affect both their current
and future health. These behavior patterns of that are established
have positive or negative effects on health.
For example, a person who regularly consumes a high sodium/fat
diet and does not exercise will become more susceptible to
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other related diseases.
On the contrary, making a daily effort to engage in physical
activities and eating a healthy diet will reduce ones
susceptibility to chronic diseases.
Second, what relation is there between culture and behaviors
with respect to certain health conditions?
When I compare American culture to the culture in my own
country, Congo, I notice that the majority of people in the U.S
expect a certain level of expediency when it comes to getting
what they want; the notion of immediate gratitude.
For example, in North Americas fast-paced environment, most
people frequently eat out as opposed to cooking at home.
Conversely, in an agriculture-based nation, such as the Congo,
people grow crops in their backyards, at their schools, as well as
in other environments.
Unlike the U.S, this also means that they have to endure the
tedious process of plowing, watering, planting, and waiting for
crops to grow, all of which are necessary and take patience.
Additionally, when the crops are ready, they must be picked,
sorted, washed, and cooked.
However, with so many food-swamps in U.S, it is often easier for
people to skip cooking and go buy pre-cooked or packaged food, most
of which have poor nutrient content.
The culture of convenience has become an issue of major concern
for most U.S. citizens, particularly because of its implication for
certain chronic diseases. The websites below provide comprehensive
overviews of the influence of culture on behavior with respect to
health.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
PMC2571048/Culture influences many aspects of peoples
lives, especially their health behaviors. Education plays an
important role in raising peoples awareness about the negative
health effects due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Developing
culture-based approaches that effectively address the issue is
critical to minimizing chronic diseases.

Tenn. - On Sunday, June 7, 2015, tens of thousands of people
around the world will gather in their local communities to observe
the 28th annual National Cancer Survivors Day.
Hundreds of cities across the U.S. and abroad will hold
celebrations on this day to honor cancer survivors, to bring
attention to the ongoing challenges of cancer survivorship, and to
show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be fruitful,
rewarding, and inspiring.
NCSD also provides an opportunity for cancer survivors to
connect with other survivors, celebrate the milestones theyve
achieved, and acknowledge the family members, friends, and
healthcare professionals who have supported them along the way.
A survivor is anyone living with a history of cancer - from the
moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life, according to the
National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation, administrator for the
celebration.
For the vast majority of survivors, cancer is no longer the
automatic death sentence that it was a few decades ago, says
Foundation spokesperson, Laura Shipp.
The reality is that, among U.S. adults, the 5-year relative
survival rate for all cancers combined is now approximately 68
percent. In 1987, the year that NCSD began, that number was just 56
percent.

Fundraising and BasketballPart two of a two part seriesBy Mel
and Pearl ShawSaad & Shaw Comprehensive FundDevelopment
Services
Mel and Pearl ShawIts that time of year - basketball every
night! The games get better and better. Fans are loyal, excited
and stressed.
People on the east coast stay up way too late. Everyone is
wearing their teams logo. The playoffs are on! If youre a
fundraising fanatic you are inspired as you imagine your
fundraising team performing with the precision of your favorite
basketball team.
In the NBA, the coach develops a game plan. In fundraising, its
the fundraising plan, strategic plan, business plan - or a
combination of these - that serve as the game plan.
Before each crucial game, NBA coaches scout their opponent.
In
fundraising, you prepare by researching potential donors. What
are their interests and philanthropic priorities? What is their
current or prior relationship to your organization? Dont take your
team onto the court unprepared!
Good coaching is key to both the NBA and fundraising. Basketball
teams have a head coach: in fundraising coaching can come from
consultants or the chief development person.
Great teams have loyal fan bases who are with them whether they
are up or down. These fans believe in the team, their talents,
resources and ability to prevail.
With fundraising, there is a constituency that believes in your
case. They feel you have all the elements to succeed, or that you
are getting there.
As in basketball, good fundraising teams feed off the energy.
The community gives to your campaign, introduces new donors and
encourages you to be successful.
Basketball teams reward their fans with fan appreciation gifts
and events. You need to do the same. Its called stewardship.
Good teams practice, practice, and practice. Good fundraising
programs are always educating, training and orienting their
leadership, staff, and volunteers. They consistently communicate,
sharing an easy-to-understand message and
clear examples of impact. They dont take anything for
granted.
Basketball teams are big on stats: the number of points, how
they compare with the competition or prior years. Same in
fundraising. Its time to get big on data: use it to compare your
activities and results. Review it closely, make adjustments to your
strategies and tactics and increase the odds of meeting your
goal.
Lets talk about recruiting. NBA teams have scouts out on grade
school courts - or so it seems. What about your organization? What
is your recruiting strategy? Where will your talent come from? You
need more than one superstar: you need a winning team.
How are you cultivating your next fundraising hires, your new
board members, and advisors? And dont stop at scouting: winning
teams keep their top talent. You know what that means: time to
invest in building and reinforcing your current talent and helping
them to be the best they can.
Mel and Pearl Shaw position nonprofits, colleges and
universities for fundraising success. For help with your
fundraising visit: www.saadandshaw.com or call (901) 522-8727.

The one mission of the groups was to improve the habitat for
ruffed grouse and other species on the northern Lake Huron
Island.
This is what we do with the kids for Arbor Day, said Brian
Plowman, president of the Drummond Island Sportsmans Club and a
captain on the islands ferry boat. This has been going on for a lot
of years before I was involved.
The Drummond Island school kids tree-planting project was begun
by John Ostlund, an Elk Rapids resident who owns a camp on the
island.
Known as Bugman - Ostlund says, its because I bug everybody, but
really he has a background in entomology. The 77-year-old Ostlund
started taking the elementary school kids out to plant trees years
ago. They planted pine trees on various tracts that were lacking in
tree cover. We have to help out nature at times, Ostlund said. She
cant do it all herself.
For more information on GEMS, visit
www.michigan.gov/hunting.

Praise Connections & LifeFranklin Graham Says There Is No
Tolerance for Christians in Culture After Marine Court-Martialed
for Keeping Bible Verse on Her Computer
Cpl. Monifa Sterling/Photo Wynona Benson Photography/ Courtesy
Liberty Institute
By Stoyan Zaimov Christian Post Reporter
The Rev. Franklin Graham has spoken out on a case concerning a
Marine Corporal who was court-martialed for refusing to remove a
Bible verse from her computer at work, stating that it shows that
there is no tolerance in culture for Christians.
Marine Lance Cpl. Monifa Sterling was court-martialed earlier
this week after she was convicted Feb. 1, 2014, for refusing to
remove the verse "No weapon formed against you shall prosper"
(Isaiah 54:17) from her computer.
"Unbelievably, she was criminally prosecuted by the U.S.
government for displaying this encouraging scripture on her
computer in her workspace. Give me a break, really?
Can our society be at a point where a supervisor can order a
young Marine to remove a Bible verse from her computer? Others are
able to display secular messages without any opposition, but
Sterling was targeted by her supervisor," Graham wrote in a
Facebook post on Wednesday.
"Today there's a tolerance in our culture for everything except
the things of God and His Word. The Court of Appeals for the Armed
Forces has been asked to review Lance Cpl. Sterling's case let's
pray that this kind of targeting and persecution of Christians by
our government will be stopped."
Fox News' Todd Starnes noted that Sterling represented herself
at the trial, and was found guilty of disrespect toward a superior
commissioned officer and four specifications of disobeying the
lawful order of a noncommissioned officer.
Sterling was given a bad conduct discharge, while her rank was
reduced from Lance Cpl. to private, after both the lower court and
the appellate court ruled that displaying Bible verses at work is
not protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The Liberty Institute has now taken up her case, however, and
has filed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the U.S. Armed
Forces.
"If the government can order a Marine not to display a Bible
verse, they could try and order her not to get a religious tattoo,
or go to church on Sunday," attorney Michael Berry said.
"Restricting a Marine's free exercise of religion is blatantly
unconstitutional."
Last week Graham stood up for an Air Force general after the
Military Religious Freedom Foundation called on Maj. Gen. Craig
Olson to be court-martialed, this time for giving credit to God
during a speech at a National Day of Prayer event.
Olson received heavy criticism from the MRFF, which said in a
letter to Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh that he should be
"aggressively and very visibly brought to justice for his
unforgivable crimes and transgressions" for saying that God helped
him throughout his military career.
Graham argued that atheist groups are attempting to "bully
Christians into silence" with such actions.
"Are Christians the only group of people who cannot identify
themselves publicly in this country? Are we the only voices who
cannot speak?" the evangelical asked.
