Racial Equity Lens in Governmental Decision Making
"I believe in listening before speaking, inclusion before exclusion."
A commitment to equity and inclusion goes beyond using buzzwords, and requires consistent commitment from leadership to confront uncomfortable topics. As mayor, I will develop a plan for incorporating a racial equity lens into governmental decision-making and expand economic opportunities to minorities, women, and immigrants. The city must ensure St. Louis is a welcoming place for everyone, regardless of race, class, disability, or sexual orientation.
Racial Equity Lens in Governmental Decision Making
When I am mayor, everything will be on the table. The city must adopt the Calls to Action set forth in the Forward Through Ferguson Report. When I am mayor, the city will:
- Follow guidelines to foster Racial Equity
- Establish a City Plan For Racial Equity
- Implement the recommendations of the For Sake of All Report
Economic Empowerment
St. Louis ranks 42 out of 50 large metropolitan areas for economic mobility. As mayor, I will work to expand entrepreneurship and job opportunities for all women and minorities to help build our economy. To do this, I will:
- Promote the strategies of Equitable Innovation, such as preserving and investing in industrial land and stable, affordable housing simultaneously, and investing in job training for high skills manufacturing for people with barriers to employment
- Increase investment capital for inclusive innovation for:
- Women Entrepreneurs
- African American and Minority Startups
- Improve MBE/WBE participation tracking
Immigrant and Refugee Inclusion
Attracting and retaining immigrants is critical to regional growth. Immigrants should be looked at as an asset, and not as a burden. The city must devote resources to helping new Americans feel at home in St. Louis. I propose that we:
- Become a sanctuary city (no matter who tells us not to)
- Develop a Government Office For New Americans
- Implement a Municipal ID program
Disability Rights
St. Louis must be a place where people can achieve success regardless of physical ability. The city is not compliant with the ADA accessibility plan, and it needs to work to meet those requirements. The city must be safe and accessible for people with disabilities and must eliminate sub-minimum wages are that are currently allowed to be paid to people with disabilities under state and federal law.
With LGBTQIA communities under attack in state legislatures across the country, including Missouri, the city needs a mayor who will continue St. Louis' legacy of being a safe and welcoming place for our LGBTQIA community. This community is an asset to the city, and should be treated as such. This means supporting policies that destigmatize LGBTQIA communities. As mayor, I will:
- Ban conversion therapy
- Make paid family leave available to all families
- Fight state policies that threaten LGBTQIA rights

Now I can't say for how long, but I'm hoping that [healthy] Sunday Specials will be making a comeback. We'll see how that goes though. I know Robbie is keeping his fingers crossed, despite my big Sunday Special comeback being a bit of a flop. Well, kind of.
You can probably guess I wasn't too ecstatic about the recipe we'll be going over in this post. But I still feel like it needs to be shared, because even though it wasn't my absolute favorite, it was still very good, light, and perfect for summer affairs. Hmm, as in BBQs and picnics I mean.
I had this clear vision of what I wanted last weekends' dinner to be like, something that resembled a dinner Robbie and I had a while back at Greek restaurant. I wanted a dish that was cool and refreshing. Don't ask me why, because I couldn't tell you why. Oh wait...yes I can. How about the [on average] 95°F weather + humidity we've been having lately? Oh yeah, that was it!
The key to this whole dish is that intriguing Cucumber Yogurt Sauce. At least that's what caught my attention. It's that 'cool' and 'refreshing' element, perfect for the hot summer days we've been experiencing. And when I say 'cool', I really do mean it. This little concoction has pieces of cucumber [surprising], a little cumin, and mint. Yes you read right: fresh, cool, mint.
The chicken itself is beyond ridiculously easy. Even Robbie and I figured it out. A little pepper, a few minutes [both sides] on the grill, a quick slather of some yogurt sauce [pre-cukes], and voila! Quite possibly, no, THE easiest thing I have made thus far. Maybe 20 minutes of prep and cooking and the chicken was ready for chow time. I would like to note that I served the chicken with some brown rice and rolls but you could really pair this with most anything I guess. Chef's choice!
|Grill Master!
So what was it about this meal that didn't really strike a note with me? It wasn't necessarily the recipe, but I think what I had envisioned I would be getting from the sauce was a little different than what we actually got. I was aiming for something more like tzatziki but the flavor was not quite the same. And as for the brown rice? Not a fan. Going from the soft, sticky rice I grew up on to brown rice is kind of a recipe for disaster though. They just don't really compare. However, while we were eating and in an effort to avoid eating my brown rice [as if I couldn't have dessert if I didn't eat my grains!], I started to cut up the chicken and place it [with some sauce] onto my rolls. And that's where it was at. Grilled Chicken Sandwiches with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce? Yes, please! So next time around, that is what we'll be having .
My Notes:
- It didn't seem like the original cucumber yogurt sauce recipe was going to be enough for us [remember, we eat as if there are five people in our house], so I doubled it. It also is the where the majority of the flavor comes from, so I thought this was a wise decision.
Grilled Chicken with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce
1 (6 oz.) jar plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 c. thinly sliced green onions
2 tsp. snipped fresh mint
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 c. chopped, seeded cucumber
4 small skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/4 lbs.)
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 c. thinly sliced green onions
2 tsp. snipped fresh mint
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 c. chopped, seeded cucumber
4 small skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/4 lbs.)
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
- In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, green onions, mint, cumin, salt, and pepper. Transfer half of yogurt mixture to a small bowl; set aside. Stir cucumber into remaining yogurt mixture. Refrigerate cucumber yogurt sauce until ready to use.
- Sprinkle chicken breasts with pepper. Place chicken breasts on grill and cook first side for 6 to 7 minutes. Turn chicken breasts over and brush with reserved yogurt mixture. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes on second side or until no longer pink. Serve chicken with cucumber yogurt sauce.

JANESVILLE, Wis. — House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said Friday that he remains unsure whether Donald Trump's public drama with him over a possible endorsement has concluded, hours before the GOP presidential nominee holds a rally in this battleground state.
"Heck if I know," Ryan said Friday in an interview with WISN radio's Jay Weber. "I'm not going to try to psychoanalyze this stuff."
The speaker's comments were the latest sign that tensions with Trump remain at the highest levels of the Republican Party less than 100 days before the election, with the House speaker frustrated and distracted by his party's presidential nominee.
Ryan did not say whether he has spoken to Trump in recent days, nor did he offer encouraging words about Trump's campaign.
[Did Paul Ryan just predict that Clinton will win in a landslide?]
Earlier in the week, Trump told The Washington Post that he is not yet ready to endorse Ryan ahead of the speaker's Aug. 9 primary. Trump has praised Ryan's opponent, businessman Paul Nehlen.
"Honestly, the endorsement that I personally care about is from the people here in Wisconsin, my 1st Congressional District employers," Ryan told the local radio station. "So, I'm just going to rise above the stuff and I'm not going to get involved in some sort of petty back and forth. I see no purpose in doing that. I'm going to be me and do my thing."
Ryan acknowledged that he has "spoken out a few times" against Trump's comments on several fronts in recent months, which has irritated Trump and his supporters even though Ryan has given Trump his formal endorsement.
But Ryan said he said made clear to Trump and others at the outset of the presidential race that they should not expect him to march in lockstep. "That's just the way the cookie crumbles," he said.
When asked about Nehlen, who has said that the United States should consider deporting Muslims, in particular those who follow sharia law, Ryan was incredulous.
"You can't make this stuff up," he said. "I think people are going to thoroughly reject this on Tuesday."
[Paul Ryan's primary foe seeks to capitalize on Trump snub, promptly forgets podium]
Ryan added that Nehlen's campaign, which has been backed by stars of the conservative counter-establishment such as Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter, is fueled by "scam PACs" and "out-of-state" donors.
"They're not pushing conservatism. They call this alt-conservatism," Ryan said.
When Weber said that this specific group, the "alt-right," was tied to white supremacists and fringe groups, Ryan did not argue the point.
"It's a nasty, virulent strain of something," Ryan said, repeating the host's words back to him. "I don't even know what it is other than that it isn't us. It isn't what we believe in."
Turning to his congressional work, Ryan said he would not bring the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact to the House floor while President Obama is still in office.
"No, no," Ryan said. "We don't even have the votes for it.... I don't see any way in which that could be done because you'd have to change the TPP in some substantial ways, and I just don't see that happening."

Lately monitors based on LCD-TFT technology have taken over the marketplace. During the past few years, the trend was to aim for really fast response times (lower ms is better). Some people went way too far, ignoring other factors, such as brand reputation, contrast ratio, native resolution, monitor dimension, etc. Im here to announce that the race toward the fastest response times is over.
Not so long ago a new competition started in the game of searching for eye-catching high-quality LCD monitors. People have realized that its not all about milliseconds, because the response time was almost always better than satisfactory. Also, nowadays most of the popular manufacturers have 5ms and 2ms response times for all of their models, including budget, mid-end, and high-end.
Therefore, the decisive factor of this generations LCD monitors is contrast ratio. And we cant forget about the wide panoramic design. Its an absolute advantage. Contrast ratio, on the other hand, is really important, almost crucial. This is what makes the black really black and the white blatantly white. It plays a major role in the display of color shades. A decent monitor with an advanced contrast ratio does wonders.
LG was a pioneer in this particular field of LCD monitors, innovating and delivering an astonishing 5000:1 with DFC (Digital Fine Contrast) on Flatron f Engine type panels. LG designed and incorporated the worlds first picture-enhancing chip into LCD monitors. Their technology is called DAFI and it features RCM and ACE all of these turn their products into amazing performers that display the most vivid colors.
RCM stands for Real Color Management. It helps to display more distinct and clearer colors. ACE stands for Adaptive Color Enhancement; this function enhances the brightness and contrast to deliver optimal pictures.
Additionally, this particular model has a built-in function called 4:3 Wide ARC Aspect Ratio Control. This helps to maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio of images without sacrificing quality by eliminating distortions. Characters wont be distorted either, which is just as well because if a specific video game doesnt have wide support, then this can be emulated well.
So when the time came for me to purchase a new LCD monitor, after a bit of research and market inspection, I concluded that Im going to pick up the LG Flatron L194WS 19 Wide one. Ive opted for this one mostly because of its acceptable price, really impressive specifications, and the quality technology used.
Here you are going to read a review of this monitor. Lets begin turn the page!

Why Facebook is about to get much more annoying
At a press event scheduled for Wednesday, Facebook is expecting to roll out two new features that advertisers may love, and many users will also find interesting, but they'll also make the social network much more annoying.
First of all, the company has announced it will roll out the Timeline feature in the next few days to all users.
What does that mean?
It means the current profile and wall format will be replaced with a much sleeker design with large photos, that keeps a historical record of everything a user has done.
I love the Timeline feature, but I know from experience that many Facebook users hate when the company messes with the look of the program.
Whenever it does, the complaints on Facebook are incessant.
Another new feature coming to Facebook is the open social graph. This is an opt-in feature, because if it weren't, it would be a tremendous invasion of privacy.
The open social graph will allow people to share just about everything they do on the Internet with their Facebook friends.
So if you read this blog, your friends may see that posted on your Timeline (don't worry: if people see you read this blog regularly, they'll think you're brilliant). If you watch a video, the link will be posted. If you make a purchase … you get the idea.
The problem with the open graph, however, is that while it's a boon to advertisers, it will be more of an annoyance for most Facebook users.
Luckily, the news feed will be spared. This information will be limited to a person's Timeline, according to this report.
That's good, because a news feed is for important information like daily location check-ins at Second Cup and hundreds of daily Farmville and Mafia Wars updates. No. I don't care that you have a flock of sheep!
Will the open graph be a huge step forward for Facebook? The company sure hopes so, but it seems every attempt at getting people to engage more with brands online has been met with only limited success. Have any businesses really seen major boosts by encouraging users to check in? If you see your friend frequents a particular coffee shop, will that make you more likely to visit it as well? Perhaps, but it may be one of 100 factors that influences your decision.
A new study has shown that
while Canadians research their purchases online, many think that Facebook should just be reserved for personal connections. They see advertising as an intrusion, kinda like if someone interrupted a conversation between friends to sell them beer.

Yesterday at the Heritage Foundation, a distinguished panel considered whether the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) passed by Congress in 2001 authorizes President Obama to bomb ISIS. Steve Bradbury, a terrific lawyer who headed up the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel during President George W. Bush's second term, argued that the AUMF confers this authority. Robert Chesney, a law professor at the University of Texas and co-founder of the Lawfare blog, found the case that the AUMF confers such authority plausible, but unpersuasive.
I took essentially the same position as Chesney when I considered the issue two weeks ago (at that time, Chesney appeared to find no plausibility in the claim that the AUMF authorizes the bombing of ISIS). Despite Bradbury's strong advocacy, this continues to be my view.
The big problem with finding authority for bombing ISIS in the 2001 AUMF stems from its language:
[Th]e President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
ISIS did not attack the U.S. on 9/11. And although it was once closely affiliated with (if not part of) the organization that did, ISIS and al Qaeda have split and are now opposed to one another.
Bradbury addressed this difficulty by downplaying the split. From ISIS's point of view, he argued, it was essentially a rebranding. From al Qaeda's point of view, the split stemmed from envy over what ISIS has been able to accomplish. The formal breakup notwithstanding, ISIS exists to accomplish the same basic purposes as al Qaeda and contains the same basic DNA.
Bradbury argued that a breakup resulting from envy on one side and public relations considerations on the other should not be dispositive when it comes to determining the president's authority to protect the U.S. from the terrorist threat to which the 2001 AUMF was addressed. I agree.
But in my view, the split between al Qaeda and ISIS goes deeper. It appears to stem from serious substantive disagreements, including disagreement over mission, at least in the short term. As I understand it, ISIS wants to focus on establishing a caliphate in the Levant. Al Qaeda wants to focus on attacking the West.
This doesn't mean that ISIS has no interest in attacking the West; nor does it mean that ISIS is not a serious threat to our interests. But it does mean that the differences between ISIS and al Qaeda go well beyond "branding" and personal pique.
Can a group at serious substantive odds with the organization that attacked the U.S. on 9/11 be deemed an organization that "planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001" or an associated force of that organization? For the president to say so is quite a stretch, even taking into account the deference to which he is entitled under the 2001 AUMF in making such determinations.

Content is, of course, king
Just saw a cogent comment in USA TODAY by Matt Krantz in response to a reader question:
Companies that make the entertainment and content viewed on the bevy of new mobile devices, websites and Internet-connected TV devices are winning new appreciation with investors. Disney (DIS), Time Warner (TWX) and Viacom (VIA.B) shares are all at or near their 52-week highs as investors appreciate the value of the content, not just the hardware.
For instance, a healthy piece of [Disney's] growth is coming from digital-streaming deals with Netflix and Amazon. And at Time Warner, part of the company's potential upside comes from a number of digital projects ranging from HBO Go, TV Everywhere and All Access.
Disney's $4 billion purchase of Star Wars creator Lucasfilm is another example of how media companies are bolstering their content.
(Thanks to blogger Mark Ramsey for the lead on this quote.)
I had already been thinking about a post in regard to the Lucasfilm/Disney deal. This goes back to something I have been preaching for a long time: those who will be most successful in the world of rapidly changing technology as it pertains to media are those who provide CONTENT. Consumers are ravenous for good, creative content, and so are the companies mentioned above and others who have cable channels, theater seats, download servers, mobile devices and more for which they have to supply CONTENT.
Oh, there is plenty of success available for those who develop, build and market the devices on which all that CONTENT will be accessed...computers, servers, smartphones, TVs, radios, and on and on and on...but that requires that you already have the infrastructure to do all that developing, building and marketing. That takes labs, factories, offices, and lots and lots of capital...or an idea so great and radical that someone will supply you with all that to get it off the ground.
Today, creating CONTENT requires only one thing: a creative mind. You can create that CONTENT on a keyboard, with a telephone, with a simple digital camera, or with other readily available devices. Even a legal pad and a pencil. Heck, I'm creating content right now! And that's on a 7-year-old computer with a simple Internet connection.
By the way, on a not-really-unrelated topic, I have just done a soft launch on a new project about which I am way beyond passionate. The UNTOLD MILLIONS Oral History Project is an effort to get as many people as I can interested in gathering, preparing and publishing some really vital content: the oral histories, journals, diaries and recollections of people who can supply us eyewitness history.
We are losing WWII veterans at a rate of 700 per day, and with each of them we are burying or cremating human history. When you factor in those who experienced other wars, the Civil Rights movement, the Great Depression, the space program, and other significant history then you see where the name of the project originated. We are losing millions of untold stories by not using a little effort and modern digital publishing to collect and archive these real-life experiences.
I've done an e-book on the subject, too, and it is available for download HERE. Proceeds from the sale of the book go back into the project.
I appreciate your helping me spread the word.

Spoke at a Mortgage Fraud Seminar in Ontario,CA - SCARY
Yesterday, several dozen local homeowners, victims of foreclosure frauds of various types, attended a one-day mortgage fraud seminar at the DoubleTree Hotel in Ontario, CA. It was organized by the nonprofit group, Rhema Economic Research and Development and co-sponsored by Grassroots Assembly. Also, addressing the group was William Black, the Mayor of Ontario, FBI Section Chief of the Financial Crimes Division, Sharon Ormsby, and representatives from HUD and the Department of Real Estate.
As borrowers who have been through the ringer, predominantly but not exclusively at the hands of Bank of America/Countrywide, audience participation included heartbreaking stories of people who had worked in good faith with their banks or lenders, but in the end faced the unnecessary loss of their homes due to seriously shady foreclosure practices. In some cases, minority homeowners with excellent credit histories were pushed into subprime loans needlessly from the get-go. In others, borrowers entered into loan modification processes during which they were shamefully manipulated by banks succumbing to what Ormsby referred to as the 'dual-track' problem - a bank can and will process a foreclosure faster than it will process a modification consideration, and borrower get stuck fighting against the clock.
After my talk, one elderly woman approached me with an official looking document in hand. It was from a company professing to be able to assist her with her mortgage modification. The document had figures relating to an evaluation of her current mortgage as well as the amount they could reduced her payments by. I told her that no one should trust any modification scheme sent by mass mail. She told me - she doesn't even have a mortgage, her home is entirely paid off. When she received the letter, she didn't know what she should do, and suggested that other seniors might be scared into doing something they might later regret.
Another woman told me her tale of modification woe: for nearly two years she had been in a kind of bank suggested mortgage modification trial period. Two years. During that time, she dutifully made monthly mortgage payments that were lower than her original payments as directed. At the end of the period, her bank told her that she would not be approved for a permanent modification, please cough up $80,000 or we will foreclose. (According to the twisted bank logic - though the bank had agreed to lower payments, the fact that the borrower was complying and paying them, meant she was in default for the higher payments, so the second the bank decided to deny the modification, she was screwed.) The bank has already informed her that they are completing foreclosure proceedings on her home. Her story was not unique, several people in the room had uncannily similar circumstances with Bank of America, that ended up in the loss of their homes. That story is repeated millions and millions of times throughout the country.
One courageous woman, who happens to be the president of an investigation company, fought her similar situation to the point of getting California Congress people involved. Every correspondence with her bank was cc'ed to a host a people ranging from the California Attorney General to President Obama. After nearly a year, her bank admitted they had made a mistake. That's the kind of thing, I told her, that truly pisses me off. Not the fact that she fought back and won, but that so many people can't or don't, and are screwed by their banks - the same banks that got piles of money from the government for the assets they created out of peoples' loans, and on the back of their homes.
The seminar's sponsoring groups are lead by intelligent, passionate fighters who are diligently gathering evidence and information to transform their cases into legal battles they can win, even though it's a tough slog as anyone in the situation knows too well. The women from the FBI, HUD and Real Estate Department all spoke of investigations they were doing into fraud at the initial loan level. But when I asked if any of them knew of a case in which a foreclosure was determined to be fraudulent and the initial loan was also fraudulent (false appraisal, robo-signed, etc) and the end result was retribution for the borrower, all three said it is their job to investigate for fraud, none of their organizations are involved with the kind of retribution that would fix the lives of these victims the way that the Fed, Treasury Dept and two Presidents helped fix the financial lives of their lending institutions.

Administrator Induction Program
This program is designed to provide new administrators the opportunity to clear their preliminary administrative credential through a job-embedded induction experience. The program was developed in response to the state's change in how administrators clear their credentials. The prior, paper-based method is gone and has been replaced with Induction, which is founded on research and modeled on the teacher induction program.
Access the program web page and see classes related to the Coaching Institute, Preliminary Administrative Services Credential, and Administrator Induction Program on the North Coast School of Education website.

Canada's Food Guide recommends that you eat at least two 75 gram servings (5 oz. or 1 cup) of seafood per week.
The use of low-fat preparation methods (e.g., raw, baked, poached) maximizes heart health benefits attained by consuming finfish.
Let's Cook Fish >>
Finfish, such as salmon, are recognized as a nutritious source of food protein with positive health benefits associated with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
Regular consumption of salmon has been shown to reduce rates of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, depression, and Alzheimer's Disease, among other conditions.
Finfish also contain:
• Vitamin A and carotenoids, which function as antioxidants, thought to prevent cancer.
• B vitamins, particularly Niacin, and Vitamin D which helps the body absorb Calcium.
• Far less saturated fat than an equal portion of any other meat or poultry protein source.
Most seafood is lower in total and saturated fat and cholesterol than cuts of beef, pork or poultry. The use of low-fat preparation methods, such as baking or poaching, maximizes benefits attained by eating fish.
Strict Food Safety Standards:
Prince Edward Island's strict seafood safety regulations, programs, policies and inspection standards ensure that all seafood available to the consumer is as safe as possible to consume. This system includes monitoring, inspection, research, health-risk assessments an the ongoing development of regulations.
The commitment of our members to providing safe and wholesome aquaculture products has enabled them to work closely with those federal and provincial government departments responsible for food safety to establish a world-wide reputation for safe, quality products.

Statehood in West Virginia likely wouldn't have come about without the efforts of Archibald Campbell.
As editor of the Wheeling Daily Intelligencer, the forerunner to The Intelligencer, Campbell (1833-99) used his voice to call for an end to slavery, oppose Virginia's secession, support Abraham Lincoln's candidacy for president, and push for the western counties of Virginia to split from the government at Richmond.
Campbell's opinion on Virginia's secession was quite clear, as each day, at the top of the editorial column, there appeared a patriotic poem of the verses of the Star Spangled Banner.

Campbell called secession "the most infamous usurpation of the rights of a free people." He advised his readers to read Virginia's secession ordinance "and re-read it and see what a mockery and scorn has been made of your decree."
As the Wheeling conventions took place in 1861 and statehood talks intensified, Campbell used the newspaper to further the western counties' cause. "The people of western Virginia will never and ought never to be satisfied with anything short of division of the state; and that division should be put in train at once by this convention, so that it may be secured at the earliest possible moment," Campbell wrote in the June 18, 1861 edition of The Daily Intelligencer as the Second Wheeling Convention took place.
But some have suggested a letter Campbell wrote to then-President Abraham Lincoln on Dec. 20, 1862, as Lincoln pondered whether to accept West Virginia as the 35th state, may have swayed the president in his decision.
"I am in great hopes that you will sign the bill to make West Virginia a new state," Campbell wrote to Lincoln. "The loyal people have their hearts set upon it. If the bill fails, God only knows the result. I fear a general demoralization. I am clear. The consequences are in your hands."
On. Dec. 31, 1862, Lincoln signed the bill.
An article published in the Wheeling Daily Intelligencer following Campbell's 1899 death stated that Lincoln told Francis H. Pierpont, the governor of the Restored Government of Virginia, that it was the letter penned by Campbell that convinced him to sign the statehood bill, against the wishes of his cabinet. The article continued, "The Intelligencer was the right arm of the Restored Government of Virginia and Mr. Campbell was the trusted counsellor and supporter of the union authorities both in civil and military matters."
Campbell, the son of the Dr. A.W. Campbell of Bethany and nephew of Alexander Campbell, founder and first president of Bethany College, was born in Steubenville. He moved to Wheeling in 1856 as an attache of The Daily Intelligencer, and in the fall of that year bought the paper in partnership with John F. McDermot and became its editor. At once the paper took ground in favor of liberal political principles and soon allied itself with the then young but rapidly growing Republican party.
Wheeling and Ohio County had then not more than 100 slaves, according to the 1860 Census, and The Daily Intelligencer's opposition to slavery made it a target of the pro-slavery press of Virginia. The Richmond papers reproached Wheeling because such a publication was permitted to exist in her midst.
Campbell attended the 1860 convention as a delegate from Virginia that nominated Abraham Lincoln for president, and returning home gave his candidacy enthusiastic support.
According to the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, the Republican speakers of that day were Campbell, Alfred Caldwell and E.M. Norton. They discussed the discriminations in favor of slavery, in the matter of taxation and the basis of representation in the legislature, and these were strong points that arrested public attention and made a decided popular impression. Pierpont, although a Bell and Everett elector, discussed these issues from the same standpoint, and virtually made Republican speeches.
The history of Campbell's Daily Intelligencer during the Civil War is the history of the Union and the new state cause. They remain one and inseparable in the annals of West Virginia. In all those years no one threw himself more earnestly, ably and untiringly into the support of both than Campbell.
When the new state Constitution was being framed, Campbell protested against the clause recognizing slavery, and predicted that Congress would never consent to the formation of a second slave state out of the territory of Virginia, a prediction that was verified to the letter. The Constitution had to come back for amendment, and West Virginia was finally admitted as a free state.
Campbell retired as editor in 1884 after 28 years of service. He spent the final decade of his life traveling, writing detailed accounts of his journeys for the newspaper.
He died on Feb. 13, 1889, at his sister's residence in Webster Springs, Mo. Following his death, The Intelligencer wrote, "It is no exaggeration to say that no state owed a man so much and paid so little of the obligation; that no man worked so unselfishly for the consummation of an object and received so few of the rewards for the honorable effort and conspicious endeavor.
"The one predominant characteristic of Mr. Campbell's connection with party politics was a shrinking for publicity, an innate modesty of his own abilities and an absolute aversion to the notoriety which is generally the greater part of the capital of the professional politician. He sympathized sincerely with the struggles of every honest man. He admired honesty and earnest endeavor, whether it wore a patched garment or a suit of broadcloth. He was a man of punctilious probity, and in his whole career as a journalist, even in the most heated political controversies he never willfully misrepresented a foe."

In this dream I got aroused and my clit grew into a penis. It was kind of uncomfortable because my foreskin was paper-thin and I was worried it would tear if handled too roughly.
It was kinda cool for a bit and I wanted to show someone but I was scared that if I lost the erection it wouldn't happen again. I very gently stroked my erection while trying to figure out how to get over to HugSlut to tell her...
And then I woke up, slightly aroused, no penis, and kinda disappointed, then my sleepy brain continued on thinking what it would be like to have a penis as a woman.
My first thought was that there would be no change because I'm secure in my womanhood and I didn't feel that a penis would change that. I might even grow to like it and see it as a normal part of my life.
Then I thought about having to explain to lovers that I'm definitely a woman but I now have a penis instead, which would be an uncomfortable conversation but I was confidant HugSlut would still love me and the Bard would probably adjust admirably.
Suddenly I realized that boners don't just happen in private. I could be walking down the street and get a random boner, and I'd almost definitely get one at work at some point since I spend so much time there. Humans in general aren't nice to people that don't fit in their tidy little boxes. I thought of having the same conversation over and over with near strangers. (Yes I have a penis. No I am a woman. Why the fuck do you care what's in my pants anyway?)
The blend of terror about that situation and relief that I don't have to live it made me cry. I'm lucky that the body I was born with suits me so well. If you're like me, count your lucky stars and be a bit nicer to others who didn't win the genetic lottery, because you can't pick which bits you're born with.

Therapy Services
Physiotherapy focuses on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Our physiotherapists use manual therapy, the latest technology such as laser therapy and exercise programs to reduce your pain, improve your ranges of motion, increase your strength and improve your overall level of function. Working with other practitioners at Activa Clinics, they treat conditions such as injuries sustained at work, in sports or in a motor vehicle accident, age related aches and pains, limitations in ranges of motion and many other conditions.
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of neuromusculoskeletal conditions (relating to nerves, muscles and bones). Chiropractic care is a holistic, hands-on healthcare approach, which is safe and non-invasive. Depending on the needs of the patient, using chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, exercise programs, electrical modalities, laser, life style counseling, patient education and many other techniques, chiropractors treat conditions such as headaches, neck and back pain, whiplash, sprains/strains, motor vehicle accident related injuries, arthritis, work related injuries, sports injuries, disc problems and many other conditions.
Massage therapy
Hands on treatment for the body's muscular system. Massage therapy focuses primarily on the treatment of the muscular system of the body, using different forms of manual therapy. Massage therapy can help with relaxation, reduce pain, tightness and stiffness, improve joint mobility, improve blood circulation, increase lymphatic drainage and improve overall function. Our experienced massage therapists work with the rest of our healthcare team to treat headaches, pain, fibromyalgia, injuries, carpal tunnel, whiplash, tension and many other conditions.
Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive, holistic form of ancient Chinese medicine, which has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions. Acupuncture involves the insertion of a series of specially designed, thin, flexible needles. These needles, which stay in the body for about 15-20 mninutes, do not cause tissue damage or bleeding. They provide stimulation of certain acupuncture points to treat headaches, pain, stress, digestive problems, addictive issues and many other conditions. If you are afraid of needles, another option is to have acupuncture treatment using our state of the art laser system, which requires no needle insertion, but is equally effective.
Laser therapy
A revolutionary form of treatment for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, using low intensity laser to promote healing within the cells. Our clinics are equipped with Theralase, a super-pulsed, cold laser machine, which penetrated up to 10 cm (4 inches) below the skin surface, healing tissue faster than any other cold laser on the market. This form of treatment is non-invasive and has a wide range of applications such as tissue and wound healing, treating musculoskeletal conditions and acupuncture treatments. Rather than destroying tissue, as with surgical (or hot) lasers, Theralase uses low intensity laser light energy to stimulate cells through a number of known cellular pathways in order to encourage tissue healing. This form of treatment is highly effective, drug free, non toxic, non invasive, very safe, easy to apply and painless.
Injury, post-operative and fracture
rehabilitation programs
At Activa Clinics we treat injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, sports injuries, work related injuries, acute injuries, chronic conditions, post-operative limitations and post-fracture limitations. Our experienced team of health care providers realizes that each patient's needs are unique. Therefore, a comprehensive physical and functional assessment is performed for each patient. Based on the results of the assessment, a treatment program is custom designed for the patient to treat injury, accelerate recovery and restore function, mobility and strength. Our services include: Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Kinesiology, Theralase (cold laser therapy), Electrical modalities, Ultrasound, Spinal traction, Custom Designed Exercise Programs, Specialist consultation, Case Management.
Spinal traction
Spinal Traction uses specialized equipment to apply constant or intermittent pulling force to the spine. Traction stretches muscles and ligaments, increases the space between the vertebrae, relieves pressure on intervertebral discs, nerve roots and compressed nerves, helps muscles relax and reduces muscle spasms

In the last days the world's attention has been focused on the Bali island, where the Agung volcano is showing alarming signals. Indonesia's National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB) reported, according to NASA, that the volcano first erupted on November 21. On November 27 the alert was raised to level 4 which is the highest level.
Mindful of the volcano's last major eruption in 1963 which killed about 1100 people, the authorities evacuated 100.000 people in an area of 6 miles from it. Because of the belching of grey and white plumes, the Ngurah Rai International Airport was shut down on November 27 and 28 for safety reasons, but flights resumed on the 29th.
As the lava levels at the crater of Mount Agung is starting to slow down, the attention for the volcano is still high and satellites from different countries are contributing providing a considerable amount of data.
Among them, there's e-GEOS COSMO-SkyMed constellation, which thanks to the frequent revisit of its 4 satellites and unmatched revisit time at global level, allows to map and monitor new lava outflows over the old hardened lava field using pairs collected within short time interval and interferomtetry processing (coherence) from which e-GEOS generates MTC (Multi Temporal Coherence) products.
Such products are useful in case of natural or man-made disaster (earthquake, volcano, flooding, landslides) for rapid mapping purposes. COSMO-SkyMed is the ideal instrument, due to the rapid response given by the short revisit time of the constellation and the reliability of data collection independent of scene illumination and cloud cover. Damage assessment can be carried out using archive data, both SAR and optical, over the same area.

breathtaking. that word by itself, describes the house, the land, the people, and the animals. we had such an adventure at the farmhouse today. i couldn't wait to upload just a few images to show all of you.
i wasn't aware until we arrived that it was the 2nd most expensive home (by square foot) in pennsylvania. ::screams & dies in restorability bliss ::
for that reason, and the privacy of the owners, i can not show any exteriors. to be honest, i wasn't even told who the owners actually were!
so! the task at hand was to photograph Becky & Holly's (the most wonderful, fast talking, & truly inspiring interior decorators i have ever met) perfectly charming winter flower arrangements that they have prepared for each room of this flawlessly restored property.
note the use of delicately real eggs, feathers, holly twigs, and popped cotton branches.
What beautiful creations, right? We'll be working with these lovely ladies again on Tuesday putting together images for their new website. When it launches, I'll be sure to let you all know!
I've got quite a bit of wrapping to do today. Thankfully, I have season 2 of How I Met Your Mother to keep me company!
