<p>Davis is expected to begin construction in late 2012 on The Sovereign, a 322-unit luxury apartment development. This will be the company&#8217;s fourth multifamily development in DFW.</p>
<p>Venture Commercial represented Hillwood Communities in the sale. The value of the transaction was not disclosed. Venture&#8217;s Ken Reimer and David Davidson Jr. are also marketing 23 acres of land surrounding this development.</p>
<p>&#8220;The availability of multifamily land in the Alliance Corridor is slim to none, and demand is extremely high,&#8221; Davidson said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dozens of people hit the golf course today to help Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  Monday marked the 10th anniversary of Woody’s Golf Tournament, which was held at Pecan Valley Park in Southwest Fort Worth this year.<span id="more-1761"></span></p>
<p>This was Marshall Artho’s sixth year to play in the tournament, but for him it was more than just a game.</p>
<p>“Just giving back makes you feel good, especially knowing someone who has been through it,” Artho said. “Maybe it’s playing golf but it’s all for a good cause.”</p>
<p>Artho took off work Monday and took part in Woody’s Golf Tournament to support his friend, John Hinkle, and a cause that means a lot to him.  “My wife had breast cancer for about eight years before she passed away,” Hinkle said. “She was 28 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she passed away when she was 36.”</p>
<p>Hinkle’s wife, Donna, died in 2007.  The couple’s daughter Gabrielle was only one.</p>
<p>“We talk about her, and she sees pictures and videos and stuff like that,” Hinkle said, “and we try to keep her memory alive with her.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="paragraph1">The city of Fort Worth is considering a cost-cutting idea, hiring only non-smokers.</p>
<p id="paragraph2">&#8220;We put taxpayers dollars into health care for our employees,&#8221; Mayor Betsy Price said. &#8220;Anything that might benefit the health and wealth, make our employees more productive and healthy we&#8217;re going to take a look at.&#8221;<span id="more-1753"></span></p>
<p id="paragraph3">A city employee proposed the idea, but some fellow colleagues are fuming.</p>
<p id="paragraph4">&#8220;I kind of see it as a form of discrimination, because as long as you&#8217;re not smoking at the job and it doesn&#8217;t affect your job, I kind of think it as unfair to choose,&#8221; said Irene Jasoni, a city employee.</p>
<p id="paragraph5">Puffing away adds up over time for employers across the nation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking and secondhand smoke cost $193 billion in health bills and lost productivity every year.</p>
<p id="paragraph6">In North Texas, tobacco-free hiring initiatives are already in place at the Baylor Health Care System.</p>
<p id="paragraph7">Angela Gatewood, a smoker and future city job seeker, said she is worried the idea could become policy.</p>
<p id="paragraph8">&#8220;The simple fact that they smoke is not at a reason for them to keep someone from working for them,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p id="paragraph9">Some smokers, such as Jerry Stemmons, said a new rule would not change their ways.</p>
<p id="paragraph10">&#8220;I am so late in my career, I don&#8217;t care,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p id="paragraph11">There are several hurdles involving the city&#8217;s legal and human resources departments that must be crossed before the proposal could be implemented.</p>

The credit outlook for all of the airport&#8217;s revenue bonds remains negative.</p>
<p>The A1 rating is based on the airport&#8217;s market position as the major provider of air service in one of the nation&#8217;s largest metropolitan areas, strong financial performance, increased internal liquidity due to natural gas development, and resilient enplanement levels, Moody&#8217;s said.</p>
<p>The negative outlook is based on the airport&#8217;s high leverage position, the ratings firm said, and its revenue concentration risk in American whose future operational structure is uncertain in light of its parent company AMR, Corp. filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Nov. 29, 2011.</p>
