As public health problems such as HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, violence, and environmental toxins become an ever greater part of our national landscape, grassroots public health work has become all the more important. This updated and revised edition of a highly praised volume provides meaningful insights into the systems of inequality in the United States–such as race, class, and gender–that impact health. The book includes timely and powerful case studies of lessons learned and challenges faced in community building and organizing. Several more theoretical essays offer conceptual tools for creating and implementing strategies for community-based approaches to public health. At a time of unprecedented challenges and opportunities for agencies, outside funders, and policy makers, Community Organizing and Community Building for Heath provides the tools for students and professionals who are working to build healthier communities. In its second edition, this classroom favorite includes updated versions of a number of the original chapters, as well as new chapters and appendixes in areas such as using community organizing to influence policy; using the arts in community building and organizing; online activism; and the role of cultural humility and systems change in building effective partnerships between local health departments and community residents.

Clare’s Cops & Doughnuts business won the 2011 Community Excellence Awards Friday (Oct. 7, 2011) during the Michigan Municipal League’s 2011 Convention in Grand Rapids during ArtPrize. This is the highest statewide honor bestowed on a Michigan community by the League. The peer-nominated CEAs (affectionately called "The Race for the Cup" because the winner gets a gold cup as a trophy) starts at the regional level where a finalist from each of the League’s seven region is selected by community peers at regional meetings. The seven finalist then presented their entires at Convention on Wednesday (Oct. 5, 2011) and the Convention attendees voted for the winners in a competition monitored and sponsored by Plante & Moran. The seven finalists are West Branch for its Fabulous Friday’s program; Paw Paw for its Uncork Paw Paw initiative; Ludington for its New Years Eve Ball Drop event; Marquette for its water safety initiative; Southfield for its Youth Field Zone program; Vassar for its Chill on the Hill event; and Clare for the Cops and Doughnuts business. The community excellence awards were part of the Convention kickoff ceremonies. Also occurring during Convention were a full slate of educational sessions including the Economic Vitality Incentive Program, the latest on the personal property tax issue, risk management issues, medical marijuana, civic engagement, and entrepreneurship. Also taking place was the Michigan Municipal League Board annual meeting, selection of new board members and the 2012 president and vice president, a book giveaway, and opening remarks by Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell and ArtPrize founder Rick DeVos. The Convention ran Oct. 4-7 in Grand Rapids during the final days of ArtPrize. The parade started things off and was followed by welcoming presentations by Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell, Susan Heartwell of the Student Advancement Foundation, and Rick DeVos, founder of ArtPrize. In addition, the League’s new book, "The Economics of Place: The Value of Building Communities Around People" was unveiled and the 400-plus League members attending the opening session at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel got free copies of the book, which is for sale on Amazon.com. And Governor Rick Snyder also was there an participated in a press conference where the book was officially presented to the public. For more about the League and what we do go to mml.org.

Am 24.10.2011 durften wir einige ausgewählte Vertreter der deutschen Battlefield Community in Köln zu unserem Battlefield 3 Community Day begrüßen. Vor Ort gab es neben der Releaseversion des Spiels auch noch eine taktische Schulung durch Ex-Elitekräfte der ASGAARD Security Group. Die Linie zwischen der Realität und dem Spiel wurde dabei sehr dünn. Obendrauf gab es eine neue Version der Egogun zum Probespielen. Ausgerüstet mit 3D Brille und bewegungssensitiver Waffe ging es ab an die Front! Battlefield 3 erscheint am 27.10.2011 für PC, XBOX360 und PS3. Viel Spaß beim Ansehen!
