Portage voters handed Republican Mayor James Snyder a second term Tuesday with a narrow win over Democrat Brendan Clancy.
In unofficial totals, Snyder won by 225 votes garnering 51 percent of the 7,135 votes cast. He'll again work with a Democratic city council as John Cannon was the lone GOP winner. Democrats took six seats with wins for incumbents Sue Lynch, Mark Oprisko, Patrick Clem, Elizabeth Modesto and newcomers Scott Williams and Collin Czilli.
Snyder secured a second term as head of Porter County's largest city with a hard-fought campaign against Clancy, the Portage Township trustee and a former city councilman. Both men claimed strong labor support.
"We're really excited. It's a great feeling to get the stamp of approval," said Snyder. "We worked very hard and we knocked on a lot of doors."
Snyder campaigned on his accomplishments, including the creation of a downtown identity for the city's Central Avenue corridor that will include new $8.25 million police and fire stations.
Snyder boasted that he orchestrated the projects with bipartisan support from Democrats on the City Council.
Snyder also championed a local developer's plan for a $50 million Promenade at Founders Square, a combination of 300 upscale apartments, and retail and commercial businesses on ground floors.
A new $5.7 million street department building is under way and garbage and recycling were automated at a cost of $1.4 million. About $3.5 million in improvements were completed in the parks department.
Snyder said he also brought economic progress to the city, too, with the new Meijer store on U.S. 6 providing about 300 new jobs and a Monosol expansion with about 150 jobs.
In the past year, Snyder said he has paved 36 miles of roads in the city, which he said was more than the previous 10 years combined.
Under Snyder, Portage issued five bonds totaling $22.42 million.
Clancy, the owner of a pub in the Portage Mall, criticized Snyder for escalating the city's debt with all the bonding. He said Portage had one of the top debt levels in the state during last month's debate.
Clancy said the debt could make it difficult for the city to attract new business or industry.
Snyder stumbled along the way. He missed a deadline to file his 2013 campaign finance report, and the Porter County Democratic Party filed an election law complaint against him. He has since hired a new campaign treasurer.
The FBI is investigating various city contracts and has sought Snyder's 2011 campaign finance records. Snyder has said the FBI was investigating other municipalities in Porter County, as well.
"We've risen above it and Portage is better for it," he said during the mayoral debate.

text: Something sporty is in the air today – and apparently every December 30th. Champion golfer Tiger Woods, prize fighter Layla Ali, NFL defensive end Patrick Kerney and basketball star LeBron James all share this birthday – and that's just American athletes! What is it about Capricorn that might make for such sports superstars? For starters, it's work ethic. Capricorns strive toward success in all they do and expect to be at the top of their game – in this case, literally. Second, physically, the goat is one of the strongest signs – and when that's combined with their stubbornness (in this case, an asset), the result is the mental and physical stamina to push their own limits and soar.

more affordable!
This boot camp was a lot more affordable than the others that I looked at around Vancouver. I went through it once so far, and it does not feel anything like a cheap experience. There is so much individual attention and the program covered so many different exercises.
Really good!
I think that this Vancouver Bootcamp created a better atmosphere than anything that I've ever tried before, and I have tried a lot of different things. The trainers are really good, and they're never insulting or mean. Also, there are no men there. It's just a women's boot camp, and for me that was something that really improved the encouraging feel.
loved it!
Everyone who I've sent to the My Adventure Boot Camp has absolutely loved it. That includes my sister and two co-workers now. They all shared my love of the friendly environment and the intense but still not overwhelming workouts.
Best Outcome So Far!
My little Vancouver Bootcamp victory came with being able to put on a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to fit into for nearly a year now. I have tried several different programs to try and get into those jeans, but this is the only one that has worked so far.
Effective And Fun
My fitness and I group decided to try the Vancouver boot camp together. I don't think that any of us didn't enjoy it. The instructors are really fun and encouraging. I think we'll be giving it another go next month.
Welcome The New Me, Thanks!
Before I started attending boot camp, I was lazy and did not take any pride in my body. I now realize that you only get one, and it will only give you back what you put into it. Thank you so much T'ai for giving me the kick in the tush that I needed to jump start my weight loss and boost my confidence. I feel like renewed!

Gerald Hilsher is a veteran trial attorney with experience in numerous substantive areas of the law. Currently, his practice is primarily trial and appellate work in complex commercial litigation, breach of asset purchase agreements and other contracts, intentional interference with contracts and other business torts, environmental litigation (civil, criminal, and administrative), and select white collar criminal defense, including Medicaid/Medicare fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy, and violations of the False Claims Act. His experience includes representation of plaintiffs and defendants, large and small companies, and individuals as clients. He tries cases in state court, federal court and before administrative agencies and has successfully argued significant appellate matters of interest before the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals, Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, Oklahoma Supreme Court, and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Gerald is also licensed to practice in the state courts of Texas, federal district courts for the Southern, Western and EasternDistricts of Texas, and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
His achievements have earned him inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America (appellate practice; commercial litigation; environmental litigation; mediation; real estate litigation) and Oklahoma Super Lawyers, where he has been named to its list of "Top 50 Oklahoma Lawyers." In 2011, he was named to The Journal Record's list of Leadership in Law Award honorees. In 2020, he was selected by Best Lawyers as "Tulsa Mediation Lawyer of the Year," an honor given to a single lawyer in each legal specialty in each community.
Early in his career, Gerald was a criminal prosecutor, first as an Assistant District Attorney in Austin, Texas, and then as an Assistant United States Attorney in charge of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Law Enforcement at the U.S. Treasury Department during the Reagan administration where his responsibilities included the administration of the Bank Secrecy Act regulations and other anti-money laundering initiatives of the federal government, and departmental oversight of U.S. Customs, U.S. Secret Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. This law enforcement experience provides Gerald with a unique perspective in responding to government inquiries and investigations including grand jury investigations and qui tam proceedings. His practice today includes select white collar criminal defense work (both trial and appellate), including environmental crimes, Medicaid/Medicare fraud, bank and wire fraud, and alleged civil and criminal violations of the False Claims Act. Gerald has also assisted companies experiencing embezzlement by employees with referrals to law enforcement authorities and representation for payment of restitution.
In addition to his litigation practice, Gerald is also an experienced mediator. He has been a member of both the Commercial Mediation Panel and Commercial Arbitration Panel of the American Arbitration Association and has served as an adjunct settlement judge for the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma since 1992 and for Tulsa County's Early Settlement Program since 2009. He has also previously served as a temporary judge on the Oklahoma Court of Appeals (attorney-staffed panels) and as a Special Master in federal court reviewing documents seized pursuant to search warrant for attorney-client privilege.
Gerald's professional interest in environmental law and water law began in 1997 when he was appointed to the Governor's Animal Waste and Water Quality Protection Task Force. In 1998, he was a gubernatorial appointee to the Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission, having been first appointed by Governor Frank Keating and re-appointed by Governors Brad Henry and Mary Fallin. In his 18 years of service to the OSRC, he was elected chairman of the commission four times and served as vice chairman another four years. In 2018, he was inducted into the Save the Illinois River Hall of Fame for his work on the commission.
Gerald is a member and past chair of the Oklahoma Bar Association's Environmental Law Section, an author of the Oklahoma Environmental Law Handbook chapters on criminal enforcement and civil liability of officers and directors, and a frequent lecturer at environmental seminars. He currently serves on the OBA's Professional Responsibility Tribunal, which is responsible for hearing bar disciplinary and reinstatement proceedings and making reports to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. He also has been active in the Tulsa County Bar Association, serving as a delegate to the Oklahoma Bar Association and having served several years on the board of directors and as chair of the TCBA Professionalism Committee. He is the 2018 recipient of the Oklahoma Bar Association's John E. Shipp Award for Ethics and the 2006 recipient of the Tulsa County Bar Association's Neil E. Bogan Professionalism Award. Gerald is a member of the American Bar Association, Oklahoma Bar Association, and the State Bar of Texas.Download Bio (PDF)

- Obtained favorable confidential settlement for plaintiff husband and wife against financial planning consultants and tax accounting professionals for malpractice in placing plaintiffs into short-lived, unfavorable tax shelter strategy.
- Obtained summary judgment dismissal of third party malpractice and indemnity claims brought by CPA firm against company accountant accused of malpractice by owners. Secured favorable settlement for company accountant for claims raised by owner/employer.
- Secured defense verdict, reliance damages on counterclaim, and attorneys' fees on behalf of a retail merchant accused of breach of contract in a commercial lease dispute after non-jury trial. Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals affirmed the judgment and awarded additional damages, plus appeal-related attorneys' fees.
- Obtained confidential settlement as lead attorney on behalf of individual plaintiff alleging co-authorship and joint ownership in copyrightable computer software and for breach of fiduciary duties and other business torts arising from unfulfilled promises to share proceeds of sale of controlling interest in computer software company.
- Brought claims for a publicly traded oil and gas exploration company against oil and gas service company for fraudulent invoicing and for discharge of liens filed in violation of a lien waiver provision in the parties' master service agreement. Obtained summary judgment in the Southern District of Texas not only discharging oil and gas liens, but also for fraud. The court's ruling invalidated more than $4 million of liens on the company's properties and netted an affirmative judgment in favor of the oil and gas company for $3.4 million in actual damages and an additional punitive damage award of $1.75 million.
- Successfully appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court an arbitration decision enforcing a non-compete provision of a cardiovascular surgeon's employment agreement in violation of Oklahoma's restraint of trade statute. Cardiovascular Surgical Specialists, Corp. v. Mammana, 2002 OK 27, 61 P.3d 210
- Brought suit for breach of environmental warranties and representations contained in asset purchase agreement on behalf of buyer and obtained confidential settlement of litigation concerning the purchase of a transfer, storage and disposal facility (TSDF) and water treatment plant.
Environmental Litigation/Civil and Administrative:
- Successfully resolved breach of settlement agreement and injunction action against onsite disposal of radioactive waste action brought by Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and Cherokee Nation against a former uranium processing facility in the process of federal NRC decommissioning. Ultimate result was for complete offsite disposal at a cost to company within the bounds of a prior settlement agreement's maximum with further contribution from Cherokee Nation and DEQ's pursuit of funds from the Greenfield Environmental Trust.
- Obtained dismissal at pleading stage in Department of Environmental Quality administrative law proceeding of citizen group challenges to proposed hazardous waste treatment and storage permits for cement manufacturing facility allowing use of hazardous waste-derived fuel in cement kilns.

- Concluded Oklahoma DEQ Brownsfields Voluntary Redevelopment project for Claremore Regional Hospital's Medical Office Building. This project remediated a former municipal landfill to allow for construction of a medical office building and parking facilities. An interesting feature of the remediation plan was the use of a methane monitoring and mitigation system for the building.
- Obtained declaratory judgment, affirmed on appeal, that struck regulations promulgated by the Oklahoma Wildlife Department with regard to the "fish introduction rule" allowing stocking of non-native, predator fish species (e.g., trout) in Oklahoma streams. The regulations were determined to be invalid due to the administrative agency's failure to meet substantial compliance with the public comment requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act. (A big win for native fish species, including small mouth bass, the plains top minnow, and the Arkansas darter).
White Collar Crime/Grand Jury Investigations/False Claims Act:
- Successfully defended federal debarment action brought by Department of Interior against office furnishings vendor convicted of felony conspiracy to commit theft or bribery of programs receiving federal funds and money laundering. Negotiated result was client's entry into three year Compliance and Ethics Agreement and no debarment. Negotiations centered on client's assistance to law enforcement as a government witness and other mitigating factors of lesser culpability in the scheme.
- Obtained dismissal prior to trial of 14-count criminal Information alleging Medicaid fraud violations and related criminal conduct, including conspiracy, continuing pattern of criminal misconduct, and use of a computer to commit a crime. Following briefing and oral argument, the state district court granted our motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence, thus overruling the preliminary hearing judge's felony bind over order. The state decided not to appeal the dismissal.
- Obtained withdrawal of $1 million Medicaid audit penalty against licensed professional counselor on appeal to administrative law judge through aggressive pursuit of discovery aimed at believed audit sampling infirmities and possible corruption of the process.
- Represented prime environmental contractor in defending against a $1.5 million False Claims Act demand brought by U.S. Attorney on behalf of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for return of monies paid on meth-lab clean-up contracts that were allegedly not completed in full compliance with the government contract. The claim was settled for a "walk away" (i.e., no money changing hands) prior to the suit being filed, due to threat of contractor's bad faith counterclaim and client's exacting record of communications with agency throughout contractual relationship.
- Obtained dismissal of administrative action brought by the Federal Aviation Administration to revoke aerospace industry client's license/certification as an FAA-approved repair station and succeeding criminal investigation.
- Obtained reduction of federal bank fraud sentence from U.S. Probation's presumptive 86-month sentence and $3 million restitution order to 30-month sentence and no restitution through aggressive examination of FBI agent in charge of investigation and argument at sentencing hearing. (Trial on guilt or innocence had been handled by other counsel.)
- Successfully appealed a federal sentence in which the district court denied consideration of extraordinary substance abuse rehabilitation efforts under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. In making its decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit overruled United States v. Ziegler, opening up an avenue for more judicial discretion in federal sentencing decisions.

If nothing else comes up I will embed Javascript as the scripting language for Wizards' Duel. Javascript is easy, well-known and, most importantly, well supported. In my mind scripting should be kept simple and familiar, so Javascript fits the bill perfectly. However I, like many others if you give credit to the web, don't like Javascript very much.
I have experimented with Javascript in the past and I wanted to see if there was a better alternative for larger scale projects, thus learning about Dart and TypeScript. My last experiment, of which you can read in my previous post, was made in Dart in a few hours and it was mostly a joyous departure from my previous attempt at web development.
I am actually a fan of dynamically typed languages, and duck typing in particular is great. Of course it is even better when you can choose what type system you prefer, thus Dart was made to be "optionally typed", meaning that you can use type annotations to make explicit what you plan to do with a certain variable or object (everything is an object in Dart, but it doesn't force you to have everything inside classes like C# and Java, another thing that I love) but you are not forced to do it or even use the typed variable in a specific way: the Dart editor will just alert you that it may be an error but it won't stop you from "compiling" to Javascript.
I understand the concerns about type safety but I think that the certain choices aren't black or white, but they depend on the nature on the project. For the short Card Quest, something that I mostly wrote while waiting at the airport, productivity beat all other considerations. For a while, at the very beginning, I was thinking of developing Wizards' Duel for the web, but I was not confident enough in Javascript and my capability to use it for a project of this size, Flash seems to be in the declining end of the technology curve and I just couldn't make Haxe to work. Meanwhile other considerations were leading me to want a more reliable platform than the web. I thought about using D but finally settled on C# for the support.
Web development is the big thing today and may be a big part of the future of game development, but the current language of the web may be a limiting factor. New solutions like Dart are being created to make it easier, scalable and more productive: big companies like Google have already started to make their move. Depending on your project you may decide that Javascript, even if using jQuery or some Javascript engine, may not be good enough for you. In this case you may want to give Dart a try, it is not perfect but I found that it does its work. Now, if only Google would improve that Dart Editor IDE…
Thanks for reading.

California Gold Rush Merchant: The Journal of Stephen Chapin Davis
California Gold Rush Merchant: The Journal of Stephen Chapin Davis
In July 1850 a seventeen-year-old New England boy, Stephen Davis, and his brother Josiah sailed from New York City via Panama for San Francisco and the California gold fields. They were but two of the thousands of Argonauts who were seized by the gold fever and journeyed to the Sierra foothills. Many of these adventurers have left accounts of their experiences; some of them are clear and well written, others are no more than a letter or two written home or a journal valiantly begun but trailing off into silence once the trip was under way. Among the journals that have been discovered, the diary of Stephen Chapin Davis is unusual because the author sees the gold rush through the eyes of a merchant rather than a miner. And while it is true that many young men left home to seek their fortunes, contemporary passenger lists reveal that few were under twenty years of age. Stephen's well-composed diary is therefore all the more remarkable.
In making four Panama crossings he never fails to mention a passing ship; he tells us the cost of goods and services, and he speculates, however briefly, on the prospects and present condition of business in the many places he visits. Through his concise day-by-day entries he emerges as vital and enthusiastic as though his daily and nightly jottings written by candlelight, on shipboard, or under a tent roof had just been put down within the past few days instead of one hundred years ago.
Stephen was an engaging prototype of the Horatio Alger heroes. At thirteen he was at work in the textile mills, and at . . .

Immunosignaturing is a medical test for assessing the health status of a patient by applying microarrays of random sequence peptides to determine the patient's immune fingerprint by associating antibodies from a biological sample to immune responses. The immunosignature measurements can potentially provide pre-symptomatic diagnosis for infectious diseases or detection of biological threats. Currently, traditional bioinformatics tools, such as data mining classification algorithms, are used to process the large amount of peptide microarray data. However, these methods generally require training data and do not adapt to changing immune conditions or additional patient information. This work proposes advanced processing techniques to improve …

I don't know why there is no record of Jesse Garcia's existence in the AZ DOC on-line database, but I obtained the record at the bottom of this post directly from the AZ DOC myself. In any case, this is the story of just how Jesse died. If anyone out there knows how to contact his family, please get this post to them and have them contact me (Peggy Plews) at firstname.lastname@example.com or 480-580-6807.
May 2, 2012
Peggy Plews:
Here's my story, I pray that God will intervene where the justice system failed or just didn't care about another dead inmate.
On 12-31-08 at 9:45 pm, Sgt R. Lopez briefed graveyard staff at ASPC-T-Manzanita Unit that an Inmate was in need of a breathing treatment. He said that the inmate was a problem and just wanted attention.
When I arrived in Housing Unit 6 (Terminally Ill) Facility, I noticed inmate Jesse Garcia 43305 was sitting in a wheelchair in an awkward twisted position, struggling to breathe. It appeared he had a blueish discoloration to his skin & tongue. He was propped next to the officer's desk, gasping for air and grabbing his chest.
I heard the Swingshift Officer trying to get inmate Garcia medical attention. To no avail, Swingshift Officer informed me that Sgt. Lopez refused to transport Inmate Garcia to Rincon 9 for Medical attention. He told me that Sgt. R. Lopez said that he has enough medication and that he was probably faking, besides it's New Years Eve and he didn't want to deal with the paperwork.
The Swingshift Officer also informed me that Inmate Garcia had four breathing treatments throughout the day and recently he ran out of albuterol. With medical a no show, (we) myself & SPA-Porter assisted Inmate Garcia to his bed with aid of an oxygen machine. Throughout the night Inmate Garcia was having difficulty breathing.
At approximately 1:30am I witnessed Inmate Garcia wheel himself down the hallway to the medical doors. He appeared panicking and was in distress. His wheelchair was pinned up against the medical doors. He was twisting back & forth with his eyes bulging and his tongue protruding out of his mouth. He was desperately clawing at the doors trying to pry them open. He appeared he was unable to breathe. He was desperately clawing at the doors, his finger tips appeared to have blood coming from them due to his desperate attempt to claw the doors open.
ICS was initiated and Inmate Garcia was violently twisting gasping for air while his head was banging against the medical door attempting to breathe. Inmate Garcia then turned towards me violently grabbing at my uniform shirt with fear and desperation. I asked Inmate Garcia what he needed. He tried to say medicine in Spanish.
Myself & SPA Porter attempted to remove Inmate Garcia from his wheelchair and place him on the floor. We placed a laundry bag under his head so he would not suffer any head trauma. The video operator was on site and Sgt. Lopez arrived later. He was contacting Rincon Medical to advise them of a transport. I told Sgt. Lopez that the inmate needed to go to St. Mary's Hospital. With lack of empathy he sarcastically refused and said he was going to Rincon 9.
At that instant Inmate Garcia managed to sit up and violently vomit blood & tissue. Sgt. Lopez then requested an ambulance to transport Inmate Garcia to the hospital. What seemed like a lifetime of vomiting blood, it appeared Inmate Garcia stopped breathing. I guided his head to the floor where Inmate Garcia laid unresponsive his eyes appeared glazed with blood coming out of his nose and mouth he appeared not breathing.
Myself, the video operator & Sgt. Lopez appeared to be the only security in the unit with also 15 inmates. I turned to Sgt. Lopez and I asked him to help me with CPR. He yelled at me and stated, "I'm on the phone." I told him the inmate stopped breathing and I needed help with CPR. Again he yelled "I'm on the F______ phone." I then turned to the video operator and asked her for assistance with CPR, noticing she was still video taping. She refused.
I asked her for a mouth piece, at that moment another officer arrived on unit to assist me with CPR. The officer was administering chest compressions I was trying to attempt rescue breathing. Due to the large amount of blood on the mouth shield I was provided with extra one and I continued to conduct rescue breathing until the Tucson Fire department arrived and relieved us with the CPR attempt and they continued until they were able to get a pulse.
A request was made by me for a blood sample & test of any HIV-AIDS-Hep viruses. Due to the bodily fluid exposure I was provided medication to fight any viruses that entered the system. The medication made me violently ill and I was out of work for over a week. When I returned to work I was informed that Sgt. Lopez never requested a blood test. I spoke with the Nurse Supervisor at Kino. He stated there was never a request from any supervisor to get a blood test from deceased Inmate Garcia.
I was told by the COII (sp?) from our unit that Inmate Garcia was cremated because he had no family. I was later informed by a Wardens assistant that Inmate Garcia did have family because they authorized the cremation. I asked her what he died of, she informed me the death certificate stated cancer.
I would like the expose the truth.
Jesse Garcia 43305 suffocated and drowned in his own blood. The incident was videotaped and his death was negligent and covered up. His family needs to know the truth. I've exhausted every option to reveal the truth.
Like all officers we swore an oath to protect the public, staff and inmates. The cause of death was falsified. In the yard office hung a ridiculous sign, "Inmates are students of our behavior!" If that's the case the inmate population has not chance of rehabilitation.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The sister of a woman murdered more than 30 years ago in Fayetteville says the news that a judge has lifted the stay for execution for the killer is "life-changing."
Honey Rosalie Schlehuber of Chickasha, Oklahoma, tells The Fayetteville Observer that her entire family has struggled since 18-year-old Tammy Cofer Wilson was raped and killed.
"This is not just something you get over. It's having to lie to someone when they ask what happened to your sister," Schlehuber said. "To this day I can't speak of it without tears."
Judge J. Thomas Marten of the US District Court for the District of Kansas wrote last week that a previously granted stay of execution to former US Army soldier Ronald Gray was "no longer in effect," denying his request to further block the military from carrying out the death sentence.
"This is life-changing news," said Honey Rosalie Schlehuber,
"We've been waiting for years," Schlehuber told the Fayetteville Observer from her Chickasha home.
Gray was convicted and condemned to death in military court in 1988 for two murders and three rapes in the Fayetteville, North Carolina, area while stationed at Fort Bragg and serving as a cook. He pleaded guilty in civilian courts to two other killings and five rapes.
If Gray is put to death, it will be the first military execution since 1961, when John Bennett was hanged at Fort Leavenworth prison in Kansas after he was convicted of raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl.
The current military method of execution is lethal injection.
Gray came close to being put to death in 2008, when then-President George W. Bush signed a warrant authorizing his execution. But a federal court gave Gray a last-minute temporary stay.
While no execution date has yet been set, Army regulations state that it could be set sometime in the next 30 days. Gray's lawyer could not be reached for comment.
"He ruined our family's lives. We've been through so much," Schlehuber said. "He needs to go and meet his maker. He needs to pay for what he's done."
Schlehuber says she'd like to witness Gray's execution.
"I don't feel like he should live," she said. "He's so evil. It's just wrong. I would like to go and see him actually take his last breath."

A pro-choice vote against Andrew White
As a Texan, it's heartbreaking to be on the bottom of so many lists like voter participation and the quality of education. What really keeps me up at night, though, is this: Texas has the highest maternal death rate in the developed world, and black women are suffering the most. Texas also has the fifth-highest rate of teen pregnancy and the highest repeat teen pregnancy rate in the country. Yet Andrew White, a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for governor, wants to further endanger women's lives by restricting our reproductive freedom.
In this moment of resistance to Trump and the extreme conservative agenda, progressives have an opportunity to clearly articulate our values and priorities. That means doing everything we can to support progressive, inclusive candidates — especially those who fully support access to safe and legal abortion. It is nothing less than a line in the sand.
Simply put: we won't go back.
We must back Democratic leadership that reflects the majority of Texans who support access to abortion. On March 6th, Texas Democrats have to choose the standard-bearer for our party, and it shouldn't be White.
When White was first exploring a bid for governor, I spoke with him to better understand his position on reproductive and abortion rights. (For those of you keeping score at home, what's otherwise known as the law of the land.) I was deeply disappointed to hear him say not just that he was anti-choice, but that he would not keep his personal opposition to abortion rights personal by refusing to use the office of the governor to legislate women's freedom and bodies. Instead, he told me he would actively dismantle policy protections that are in place by signing anti-choice legislation that came across his desk. In addition, he made a number of other offensive and false assertions about access to reproductive health care. To put it frankly (and accurately), his views are ignorant and unmoored from reality and where our party and our state stand on women's health.
Since he officially entered the race, White has tried to paint a different picture, obfuscating his true stance on the affirmative value of abortion access and pretending to be someone who will advocate for reproductive healthcare. That disturbs me. The inimitable Maya Angelou put it best: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." White has not articulated why he has changed his view or acknowledged that he very recently held (and presumably still holds) anti-choice views that will undermine the freedom and potential of those who rely on abortion to plan their lives and their families. In fact, White claimed in the San Antonio Express-News (" I disagree 100 percent with her characterization of that conversation. That's as clear as I can answer that.") that I am mischaracterizing his statements and our conversation.
I am not.
There is no place in the Democratic Party for a person who believes that I do not have the ability, right and judgement to make decisions about my body. This is both a matter of values and of strategy. No Democrat will win Texas without expanding and turning out the progressive base, which means turning out hundreds of thousands more young people, primarily young women of color, who share my beliefs.
No, Mr. White, abortion is not a "little issue" (to use your words to me) that divides us. A woman's right to control the number and spacing of her pregnancies is fundamental to women's economic, legal and moral equality. Abortion is healthcare — but it is also justice, freedom and equity.
I have been a lifelong Democrat because I believe in our party's commitment to equity and justice. I've never cast my ballot for an anti-choice candidate, and I've certainly never cast my ballot for a candidate as disingenuous as White.
The stakes are too high. This is no time for spineless candidates who are out of touch with progressive values and who lack the will or ability to be honest and brave about their positions. I will not cast my ballot in the primary for Andrew White, and if he is the Democratic candidate against Gov. Greg Abbott in November, I will write in a third-party candidate.
I encourage White to get some principles he'll actually stand by and to get out of the primary.

PHILADELPHIA — A spring nor'easter targeted the Northeast on Wednesday with strong winds and a foot or more of snow expected in some parts of the region.
Airlines canceled flights and schools canceled classes ahead of the fourth major storm in three weeks. Conditions were calm in most areas early Wednesday, but forecasters said the storm was expected to kick into high gear by early afternoon.
"I didn't think I'd still need to keep storm stuff in my car in late March, but what are you going to do?" Wilson Collins said as he prepared to leave his Toms River, New Jersey, home on Wednesday morning, checking his trunk to make sure he had a shovel, a blanket and other emergency items. "I'm hoping most of the snow will accumulate just on the grass, but the roads will be a mess no matter what. I just hope this is finally it."
Residents were being urged to stay home and off the roads, if possible, on Wednesday, so crews could work to keep streets clear.
Landscaping crews along the New Jersey coast tended to shrubs and plants at oceanfront homes, and then packed up their garden tools to get ready to plow. Shore towns positioned bulldozers, front-end loaders and other heavy equipment to deal with beach erosion.
The bulk of the snow and sleet was expected to pound New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and parts of eastern Pennsylvania on Wednesday before heading toward Cape Cod early Thursday.
Widespread power outages were possible with gusts blowing up to 35 mph.
In Philadelphia, where wind-whipped snow fell on Tuesday, restaurant server Katy Halbeisen called the early-spring storm "pretty lame."
"Yesterday I was walking around and saw little birds taking a bath and it looked like they were thinking it would be spring. So I feel bad for those little birds," she said.
Dog walker Emily DiFiglia said she was done with winter.
"I'm outside all day long. So having the weather constantly fluctuating has driven me a little mad," she said on Philadelphia's South Street. "Mother Nature, let's get some warm weather!"
The flight-tracking site FlightAware reported more than 3,000 canceled flights across the U.S. on Wednesday, most in the Northeast.
On the ground, Amtrak scaled back service on the Northeast corridor and some states banned certain types of trucks from major highways.

In a recent decision that I can only imagine was set upon after Kevin Feige blindly threw a dart at a wall full of names, What We Do In The Shadows director Taika Waititi has been asked to hop on the Bifrost to helm upcoming Thor-eequel, Thor: Ragnarok.
Not the most obvious choice to deal with Asgardian events admittedly, but an interesting one nonetheless. A name not well-known, it certainly caught enough attention thanks to his writing and directing effort with vampire comedy, What We Do In The Shadows. Others might remember him for indy and incredibly oddball comedy, Eagle vs. Shark.
It's strange to think how his flavour of filmmaking will fit with a film that's got a subtitled loosely translated to 'the final destiny of the gods'. Of course, whenever even a sliver of doubt is cast over Marvel, one can always use the defence that we now see a talking tree and a weapon-wielding racoon as their most popular heroes. No one saw that coming.
We can only wait and see what he delivers when Thor: Ragnarok lands in cinemas in November, 2017.

Obama: "A New Era of Service"
Time just published President Obama's essay trumpeting service and service legislation (The Serve America and GIVE Acts) in both the House and Senate, check it out:
A New Era of Service, by Barack Obama
I started my career more than two decades ago as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, working with churches to help neighborhoods that had been devastated by plant closings. Block by block, we fought to create job-training programs, improve housing conditions and help people live their lives with some measure of dignity. And eventually, I realized that I wasn't just helping other people — through service, I also found a community that embraced me, a church to belong to and the direction I'd been seeking. Through service, I found that my own story fit into a larger American story. Continue…

As a qualified coach and EQ practitioner who has spent more than 25 years helping people develop their commercial life skills, I'm often asked what the secret to success is. And without hesitation, I reply it is the ability to harness your emotional intelligence (EQ) – your capacity to recognise and manage your own emotions and those of others– that differentiates successful people from their peers.
The great news is that your EQ, unlike your IQ, isn't fixed – it can be developed over time. However, these so-called "soft skills" are often the hardest to master. So here are 5 steps to help you dial up your EQ so you can influence those around you and reap the rewards of greater success in life.
Adopt a growth mentality
Successful people believe that you can be good at anything if you practice. Given today's rapid pace of change, it's more important than ever to keep your skillset up-to-date to stay ahead of the game. Just as world-class athletes continually strive to achieve the extraordinary, so you need to invest in yourself and your personal development to keep raising the bar. So draw on your ambition – a key EQ skill – and keep challenging yourself to go the extra mile.
Know yourself
Self-awareness is often described as the cornerstone of EQ. This is because self-improvement is almost impossible unless you have taken the time to work out what really makes you tick. So give yourself an honest appraisal – no holds barred. Try to be objective and identify your key skills and strengths. Then focus on any gaps in your skillset or areas for improvement. Be brave and face your fears – it's only by looking in the mirror and seeing the real "you" that you can understand how you impact those around you and focus on your areas for development.
Put yourself in other people's shoes
Successful people have high levels of empathy and this allows them to find common ground and make a real connection with people. By listening attentively and being truly present in the moment, you will be able to get a clear understanding of how to motivate others and inspire action. Remember only 7% of what we communicate comes from our spoken words, so make sure you "read" the other person's body language and tone of voice. This way you are more likely to build a strong relationship based on mutual trust and respect that delivers success for both parties.
Tell an authentic story
Steve Jobs once said, "The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller." And with research showing that we are twenty-two times more like to remember a story than a fact, it's not surprising that successful people harness the power of storytelling to engage other people and capture their attention. The secret to telling a convincing story is to communicate in an authentic way, rather than pretend to be something you're not. So draw on your self-confidence, accept you're not the finished article and walk the talk. Remember in life, people buy people, so by talking in a genuine way you are more likely to establish your credibility and integrity.
Put in the hours
Successful people are big believers that practice really does make perfect. According to the 10,000-hour rule, it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to become world-class in any field so make sure you take the time to hone your new skills. Remember, you won't become more successful overnight – it takes hard work and commitment to develop your EQ. A great way to fast-track your progress is to adopt the principle of plan do and review by setting yourself new learning goals on a weekly basis, and making sure you review your performance – this way you can constantly up your game.
I hope that by following these 5 steps to harness your EQ you will unlock your confidence, build strong relationships and boost your performance so that you truly stand out from the crowd.

Palmares Beach & Golf Resort, in the Algarve, is hitting the accelerator in the war against slow golf as 2019 gets off to a turbo-charged start.
The stunning five-star resort in Lagos, which boasts 27 holes, believes the time has come to make a stand and attempt to "save the golf planet" ahead of its new tournament: Eradicate Slow Play.
It's seen as the perfect opportunity to introduce the new R&A rules and recommendations, which are designed to speed up play, but it is all part of the philosophy which is aimed at adding more enjoyment to golf and reducing the frustrations of waiting around.
Aside from the new R&A rules, Palmares is adding a few of its own extras in its slowdown takedown with a Texas Scramble format and a nine-hole dash expected to be completed in just 90 minutes on January 24 with members and guests set to put the new event through its paces.
One-shot penalties will be handed out for: searching for lost balls, practice swings, hitting provisional balls or reading greens from both sides.
But as an added incentive, Palmares will replace any lost balls with new balls to ensure no extra time is lost.
The resort's operations director, António Pinto Coelho, said: "So many of us think that slow play is the number one enemy to an enjoyable golf experience.
"Slow play is killing golf so we felt obliged to do something. It's not acceptable for a round of golf to take five hours so we need to change the mentality of some golfers. We also need to do what we can to encourage this so we wanted to do something more extreme and show that it can be a lot of fun at the same time."
The event is expected to become a monthly fixture at Palmares with more radical "local rules" set to be introduced for future tournaments at the multi award-winning course, which was extensively redesigned by Robert Trent Jones Jnr in 2011.

Cracker in bum guy not charged
Image: Alex Bowden (Here, hold me beer and watch this)
When a religious fundamentalist of any persuasion loses his faith in his chosen Deity, there is little left for him. The devil is not usually a terribly good alternative; purgatory doesn't seem to have a lot to recommend it, at least not in the more up market travel guides, but there is the possibility of believing in some other religious figure.
When on the other hand, a big government groupie starts to get those nagging doubts as to whether the rest of us really need Julia Gillard, Nicola Roxon, or Tanya Plibersek to act in the role of dominatrixes in order that we might survive to meet our 'obligations to the state', there is always someone like Alex Bowden as a fall back position.
Alex is the guy who let off a firecracker in his back passage to show his mates what Territorians do for a good time. There must be a shortage of chicks up there. But at least, he won't be charged:
Alex Bowden, 23, of Wagaman, burnt his bum cheeks with a winged spinning "flying bee" on July 28. He spent a few days recovering in Royal Darwin Hospital.The Northern Territory achieved its statehood later than the rest and has not had a lot of time to become the genuine nanny state Australians have come to know and disdain. In the more advanced states there is no way authorities would accept the idea of having 'suffered enough' without their involvement.
Acting Senior Sergeant Crispin Gargan yesterday confirmed Mr Bowden was not fined the usual $282. "We believe he has suffered enough in relation to firecrackers," Sen Sgt Gargan said. "He has learnt his lesson and was given a caution." …
… They had a few beers and set off sporadic contraband crackers - presumably they had been left over from legal celebrations on July 1. "And I put one in my arse ... I didn't burn my balls or back," he said, adding his mum thought it was funny.
Mr Bowden burnt his fingers as he pulled the flaming shell from between his buttocks and a sober mate then drove him to the hospital. Authorities apparently confiscated the cracker.
This is however, a gleaming example to the acolytes of the state of just why we need to be regulated in case we all decide that Mr Bowden was onto a really good idea and try to emulate him.

Great SEO Tips That You Should Know
Should you not perform proper SEO tactics, nobody will probably find your blog. Incorporate the information in this post, and start generating more visitors aimed at your website.
There is a great number of techniques to optimize your blog for search engines. Your site can have up in results more regularly if you use SEO effectively. Increased performance means happier users.
To boost your search engine ranking positions, don't just add keywords to your site. Also add alternative types of that keyword, including misspellings, from the meta tags of each and every page on your own site. Google search bots will find analyze these meta tags and including this data increases your visibility. Therefore, be sure to utilise all the possible spellings of your own keywords.
Increasing SEO can be a bet on patience. Whenever you do these things it does not happen immediately, it may need time. It could take a few months, specifically if you use a new website. You should make a reputation, it may need time.
Should your goal is usually to boost your ranking, you must make the site search engine spider-friendly.
Spiders analyze each and every aspect of your respective site's content, but that content must first be readily accessible. When producing a site map, keep your site's hierarchy under consideration in order that spiders can get a sense of the structure of the pages.
It is important to have descriptive anchor text for all your links, particularly internal links to other areas of your site. You will get nothing from your phrase 'click here' to increase your ranks. Spiders concentrate on keywords, so if you pick out the most suitable keywords for your content, they will count your key phrases towards your entire relevancy.
Take full advantage of header tags. Use CSS to alter the dimensions when your header is way too big. Search engine listings want to use headers to rank sites. Try using both H2 and H1 tags for highlighting important items about your services and products to give something necessary to search engines like yahoo.
When you can, purchase a domain address that's catchy and people will have a fairly easy time remembering. Memorable domain names that are easy to pronounce are advantageous for Online users who locate your articles through YouTube.
Use descriptive title tags to ensure the search engine listings can readily find and read your articles. When you make title tags, maintain the character count under 60. Most search engines like google don't display anything past that number. After 60 characters, search engines like yahoo also weigh terms less highly.
Raise the rankings of the major search engines with article exchange as an alternative to link exchange. Articles exchange means posting an entire article by another site owner all on your own site, together with a link to their webpage. They reciprocate by hosting a post you wrote on his or her site. Each site can have new content, so that it is more helpful than link exchanges.
Nobody is put into business expecting to fail. Ironically, even though so many people fail with web-based businesses, this is actually the one field where success is much more readily obtainable as a result of wide variety of methods you are able to implement..

There isn't a major gay resort destination on America's Gulf of Mexico shoreline, which isn't terribly surprising given the generally conservative attitudes of residents living between the Florida and Texas gulf coasts. But a few spots have begun gaining a following over the years, among them Pensacola, Florida (famed for its gay Memorial Day festivities each May) and Galveston Island. More recently, the pristine barrier beach of South Padre Island - at the very southern tip of the Texas Gulf Coast - has started attracting increasing numbers of gay weekenders and visitors, especially during its gay spring party weekend, Splash South Padre Island, which is held over a weekend in late April, and then again in the fall - the upcoming dates are October 6–9, 2016.
The gay Upper Deck Hotel and Bar (120 E. Atol St., 956-761-5953), which reopened last year, is the official Splash South Padre Island host property for this year, and they are currently offering special Splash rates.
The fun includes a Thursday night (Oct. 6) welcome party; a Friday luau pool celebration, T-dance, and evening party; a Saturday foam pool party (and also a beach party at the end of Atol Street), t-dance, and Spash Padre Island Party Cruise (in the evening), and Pink and Purple Ball at Louie's Backyard; and a farewell party on Sunday.
Here's a full schedule of events at the most recent Splash Padre Island.
In addition to the host Upper Deck Hotel, Splash South Padre Island guests might want to consider the following gay-friendly lodging options, including South Padre Beach Houses & Condos, the Travelodge, the Inn at South Padre Island, and Suites at Sunchase, all of which are good budget options any time of year.
For nightlife, again, South Padre has no gay-specific clubs. However, events during Splash South Padre Island take place at several spots around town, notably the popular seafood restaurant Louie's Backyard (2305 Laguna Dr.), a gay-friendly spot on the bay.
South Padre Island Gay Resources
Padre Island has become famous as a major spring break destination, but it also has a number of interesting festivals and events throughout the year, including the South Padre International Music Festival in November, the Texas State Surfing Championship in April, a film festival in August, and a variety of sports and cultural events. The island is 40 minutes northeast of Brownsville-South Padre Airport, which has numerous flights each day from Houston, and an hour from Rio Grande Valley International Airport in Harlingen, which is served by Southweset Airlines, United, and Delta with direct flights from a number of major cities. The island is a 4.5-hour drive south of San Antonio, and a 6-hour drive south of Houston.

(The Root) — On Tuesday morning, the Internet welcomed its latest viral superstar. Video of an interview with Charles Ramsey, a Cleveland man who helped rescue three missing local women, has been making the rounds online since the story broke. Less than 24 hours in, there are multiple memes and auto-tuned videos of Ramsey's account.
Unsurprisingly, the jokes on Twitter are flowing like water, with some questioning whether or not the way we treat people like Ramsey and viral sensations before him, such as Antoine Dodson and Sweet Brown — men and women with amazing stories overshadowed by the Internet's fixation on their colorful personalities — is disrespectful. In the conversation about it all on Twitter, some consider it belittling and mocking, arguing that amid the ruckus, the victims and the heroic deed are forgotten. Others consider it good, clean fun and are keeping the jokes rolling. See what folks are saying below.

VEGAN SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP! You won't even miss the cheese and dairy. SO FLAVORFUL and easy!!
Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip
I know it's not like me to post a recipe with ZERO CHEESE but I'm always up for a big challenge!! I'm sure you have all heard about the #MeatlessMondayNight trend and I just had to jump on the bandwagon. Trying new things isn't always my thing…but this time it was. This Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip is SO flavorful…I didn't even miss my beloved cheese. I'm not kidding. I really didn't.
I may love cheese, but I also LOVE LOVE LOVE almond milk. Silk Almond Milk to be exact. I love it's flavor and lower calories. I also love that it has a longer fridge life. That's a big deal to a couple with no kids. I used to feel like we wasted so much milk because we just wouldn't drink it in time. We haven't had that problem since switching to Silk! When Silk reached out about their fun #MeatlessMondayNight campaign and asked me to come up with a meat and dairy free tailgating appetizer, I was up for the challenge. Anything tailgating, especially during a week where my Royals HEAD TO THE ALCS (I was there! Click HERE to see my pics and videos. Dreams come true!) is right up my alley. Count me in.
I scoured the internet for ideas and decided on Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip.
It's one of my favorite appetizers already, and I thought it would be fun to make it this healthier way. You guys, I was blown away by the taste. Mostly because it tastes so similar to the kind I'm used to. Are cashews magic?? How do they taste so much like cheese when added to dishes? I don't know how it works, but I know I like it. A lot. The Silk Cashew Milk was the perfect base and I was so happy with how it turned out. I might just have turned a healthy corner!
Silk is running the #MeatlessMondayNight Challenge RIGHT NOW so click HERE to see how you can enter to win a Gameday Room Makeover!! Click HERE to see where you can find their delicious products near you. Whether you have dietary restrictions or not, Silk is delicious and such a healthy alternative to our everyday eating. I'm hooked!! Enjoy!
