Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon: A Bold Initiative to Advance Women's Health in the Developing World
November 7, 2011
Written by Matt Fisher
Announced in mid-September at the "Summit to Save Lives," hosted by the George W. Bush Institute1, the Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon (PRRR) initiative aims to leverage the public health infrastructure established through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) with new public and private investments to make progress in the early detection and treatment of cervical and breast cancer in the developing world. The initiative's name highlights its linkage of cancer and HIV/AIDS programs: pink ribbons have traditionally denoted support for breast cancer research and awareness, and red ribbons have signified support for HIV/AIDS research and awareness.
A Bipartisan, Public-Private Effort
PRRR is the first large-scale proposal launched by the Bush Institute, and the first major post-presidential initiative of the institute's namesake. Building on the PEPFAR's success in reducing HIV/AIDS in Africa, PRRR is driven by the recognition that "it's not enough to save a woman from AIDS, if she is then left to die of another very preventable disease."
The effort involves a variety of partners: the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and corporate donors Merck, Becton Dickinson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, QIAGEN, Caris Foundation, GlaxoSmithKline, and IBM. With initial commitments of $75 million over five years – $30 million in new PEPFAR funds and $45 million in corporate donations – the initiative aims to save hundreds of thousands of women in the developing world from premature deaths each year.
This initiative is groundbreaking in several respects: it spans the Bush and Obama administrations; links HIV and maternal and child health priorities with non-communicable disease priorities; creatively combines public and private resources; and signals growing consensus that concerted action must be taken to address cervical and breast cancer in low-income countries. As global health priorities confront fiscal realities in the U.S., PRRR's public-private model may serve as a useful template for future health initiatives.
Addressing an Urgent Need
Although the number of deaths from breast and cervical cancer has declined in the U.S. in recent decades partly due to enhanced screening and treatment efforts, the number of deaths from these cancers is increasing in the developing world. This situation requires action; "today the majority of women in Sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to critical breast and cervical cancer screening and treatment services," according to Amb. Nancy G. Brinker, founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Many breast and cervical cancer cases are detected too late, after the cancers have developed past the point where treatment options are available.
At the "Summit to Save Lives," former President George W. Bush, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice all argued that it is morally unacceptable for the U.S. to stand-by in the face of on-going, preventable suffering. Former Secretary of State Rice elaborated on this theme in her keynote address, noting that U.S. policy should recognize that "every life is precious, that every individual has potential, and that any person left without the access to education, to health care, and to freedom, is a world that we, as Americans, cannot tolerate."
The speakers also made the strategic case for these investments. As noted by former first lady Laura Bush, "it's important for our national security to make sure that people don't think we're just standing by while everyone across Africa is dying of something that is treatable or is preventable." Secretary Clinton highlighted the critical role that women play in ensuring the healthy functioning of their families, communities, and societies more broadly. Former Secretary Rice urged Americans to "never forget the premise that our own security is linked to the well-being of others, and let us never forget, too, that out of chaos comes danger."
Responding to Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is responsible for over 242,000 deaths annually in the developing world. Infection with genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the "most common cause of cervical cancer." Women who are HIV-positive are uniquely susceptible to contracting cervical cancer; HIV-weakened immune systems increase the risk of infection from HPV.
PEPFAR has already made tremendous strides in improving public health systems in focal partner countries and expanding care and prevention services for HIV/AIDS. Some PEPFAR funds have already been devoted to cervical cancer screening and treatment efforts, as PEPFAR "began setting up clinics to screen and treat women for cervical cancer in 2005, and the services are now offered at about 250 sites in 11 countries... $4 million of the AIDS-relief plan's annual budget goes to fund the effort."
PRRR aims to expand upon these cervical cancer prevention efforts by dedicating more resources to them. As explained by Eric Bing, director of global health at the George W. Bush Institute, PRRR's "goal is to reduce deaths from cervical cancer by an estimated 25% among women vaccinated, screened and treated through the initiative, significantly increase access to cervical cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment … and create innovative models that can be scaled up and used globally." Simple, cost-effective procedures for screening and treating cervical cancer are available. One such procedure involves a health worker using vinegar to make pre-cancerous lesions visible and then, if any lesions are found, using liquid nitrogen to freeze the cancerous cells off. By requiring a single visit for screening and treatment, this approach can overcome various obstacles to treatment in low-income countries that methods that necessitate a follow-up visit present: a woman's inability to spend extended periods of time away from home and the lack of transportation to health clinics.
Beyond these efforts, corporate partners committed to providing vaccines – Gardasil (from Merck) and Cervarix (from GlaxoSmithKline) – to help protect young girls from contracting HPV. Merck's commitment to provide vaccines to low-income nations is similar to an earlier pledge that the company made; in 2011, Merck drastically reduced the price of Gardasil in advance of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) Pledging Conference. That said, PRRR "doesn't call for vaccination yet, but instead will focus on screening and treatment."
Increasing Breast Cancer Awareness
PRRR also aims to deal with breast cancer in developing nations, which is responsible for over 269,000 deaths annually. To that end, PRRR will implement programs to increase breast cancer awareness and education. This effort complements breast cancer awareness programs that were launched during the Bush administration: the U.S.-Middle East Partnership for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research and the Partnership for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research of the Americas. The effort also builds on the 2008 and 2011 Breast Cancer Global Congresses, which were designed to bring together public health experts and breast cancer advocates from throughout the world to share best practices for treating, screening, and raising awareness of the cancer. The congresses were organized, in part, by the State Department.
State Department participation in the breast cancer component of PRRR will be more limited than its participation in activities to reduce cervical cancer rates. No PEPFAR funds will be used to directly support breast cancer reduction initiatives; the cancer has not been linked to HIV, and therefore falls outside of PEPFAR's mandate. Despite this limitation, PRRR partners will be able to utilize PEPFAR platforms to train health workers to raise breast cancer awareness and educate women about the importance of giving themselves regular breast exams.
Challenges Remain
U.S. global health initiatives have traditionally concentrated on women during their childbearing age by supporting reproductive health and family planning programs. This may negatively impact the participation rate of older women in cervical cancer screenings, as the outreach effort may not target them. Successfully targeting older women for cervical cancer screening is vital to ensuring the PRRR initiative reaches its goals; although HPV is often contracted by sexually active women during their teenage years and in their early 20s, "the risk of precursor lesions is highest among women in their thirties and forties, cervical cancer itself occurs most commonly among women in their forties and fifties." A WHO study on cervical cancer screening participation confirms that older women have been found to be less responsive to cervical cancer outreach than younger populations. This suggests that the PRRR should incorporate messages that are targeted at older women." In addition, the stigma associated with gynecologic examinations and cervical cancer's link to sexual activity may impede screening efforts in low-income countries.
In the event that PRRR makes substantial gains in detecting cases of cervical cancer, it remains to be seen what treatment options could be provided for women with advanced cases of the disease. Moreover, "Clinicians in the developing world will be able to do less for patients at risk for breast cancer," as "the infrastructure [for treatment] isn't there." Specifically, "breast cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and surgery… capabilities are not widely available." Therefore, while PRRR may effectively raise awareness of the need for early detection of breast and cervical cancer, women with advanced cases of these diseases may not have sufficient treatment options available.
Aware of the challenges, Liz Thompson, president of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, emphasized that, "we have to start somewhere—we can't wait until we have all the pieces together." Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon has the potential to dramatically advance the health of women in the developing world, and, for that, the initiative deserves praise.

Have you heard about the amazing Himalayan pink salt that comes directly from the Himalayan Mountains?
Himalayan pink salt is packed with some pretty amazing benefits and is an amazing new staple to add to your pantry. It is an absolutely wonderful alternative to table salt, and soon I'll explain why.
The History
First of all, what makes Himalayan crystal salt so amazing? About 200 million years ago, there were crystallized sea salt beds that were covered with lava.
Being kept in this untouched, pristine environment that has been surrounded by snow and ice for so many years means that the salt has been protected from modern day pollution.
Many people believe that this pink salt from the Himalayas is the purest salt that can be found on the planet.
Minerals & Energy
Himalayan Pink Salt contains the same 84 trace minerals and elements that are found in the human body, that alone is quite impressive! A few of these minerals include:
- sodium chloride
- sulphate
- calcium
- potassium
- magnesium
When using this salt, you are actually getting less sodium intake per serving than regular table salt because it is less refined and the pieces are larger. Therefore Himalayan pink salt has less sodium per serving because the crystals or flakes take up less room than the highly processed table salt variety.
Another cool thing about this salt is that because of its cellular structure it stores vibrational energy. The minerals in this salt exist in colloidal form, which means that they are small enough for our cells to easily absorb.
What Exactly Are The Benefits of Himalayan pink salt?
Some of the benefits that you can expect by consuming Himalayan pink salt in place of regular table salt include:
- Aiding in vascular health
- Supporting healthy lungs and respiratory function
- Promoting a stable pH balance within the cells
- Reducing the signs of aging
- Promoting healthy sleep patterns
- Increasing libido
- Prevents muscle cramps
- Increases hydration
- Strengthen bones
- Lowers blood pressure
- Improves circulation
- Detoxifying the body of heavy metals
Comparing Himalayan Pink Salt To Other Salts
Sea Salt
While still a better choice than table salt, sea salt is becoming increasingly over processed and let's face it, our oceans are becoming more and more polluted each year, just think about the massive oils spills that have occurred.
Because of the pristine conditions that the pink salt is kept in, it is said to be the purest salt available today.
Table Salt
Regular, commercial table salt is completely stripped of the majority of its minerals with the exception of sodium and chloride. It is then bleached, cleaned with chemicals and then heated at extremely high temperatures.
The iodine that is added to table salt is almost always synthetic which is difficult for our bodies to properly take in. It is treated with anti-caking agents, which prevents the salt from dissolving in water and in the salt container.
These agents then prevent the salt from absorbing in our own bodies, which leads to a build up and deposit within the organs. This can cause severe health problems. Studies have shown that for each gram of table salt that is consumed that the body cannot process, your body will use 20 TIMES the amount of cellular water to neutralize the amount of sodium chloride that is present in this chemically-treated salt.
This is largely in part of how salt has gotten such a bad name. It is not necessarily salt that is unhealthy for us, it is refined table salt that is inferior to our health. Aside from that, many of us are consuming way too much processed food.
These foods contain astronomical amounts of salt, and it isn't the good kind. It's not about limiting our amount of salt; it's about consuming more natural, homemade whole foods. This way we can add salt while cooking or sprinkle some on our meals without having to worry about high blood pressure and so on.
You should be able to find this amazing Himalayan Crystal Salt at your local health food store, or easily online!

History of Mormons in America
This collection of artifacts, photographs, texts, and historical markers is intended to help students explore the history of the Mormon religion in America.
Each of these items is intended to spark inquiry, following the process below:
- Students should choose one artifact on which to focus.
- Have them use the artifact analysis PDF (last resource) to begin their study of the artifact.
- Next, have students generate questions about the artifact? What do they wonder about? What does it tell them about the Mormon religion or its history within the United States?
- Have students complete some general research on their artifact that will help their classmates piece together the story of the Mormon experience.
As a collaborative project, students should use the PBS Forced Migrations map/timeline as a model for a class map/timeline of their own.
- Project an image of the map on a class whiteboard or create your own basic outline using large paper.
- Have each student present their research findings. The main questions they should answer are: What does it represent about the Mormon experience? Where would the artifact they chose be placed (geographically and in terms of chronology)?
- Students should then place place their image on the map with significant dates noted.
- After all groups have presented, review the narrative of the Mormon experience with the class. What would they identify as critical moments in Mormon history? What questions do they still have?
Quilt Quest
Did you know that quilts are also historical artifacts? Use this collection to learn more about how curators investigate quilts to learn about their origins, and then explore a variety of different quilts that tell us important things about the time in which they were made and the crafters who made them. Finally, make your own quilt depicting an important historical moment.

Arguments to meditate: an introduction through American Art
This collection is for use with an introductory lesson for a 12th-grade rhetoric course's unit on "arguments to meditate," which are defined in the text "Everything's an Argument" by Andrea Lunsford and John Ruszkiewicz as, to paraphrase, those arguments which are abstract and/or which lack a clear, explicitly stated thesis and that therefore depend on thoughtful meditation by the audience to arrive at an understanding of the rhetorician's intent. The purpose of this lesson is to (1) establish students' understanding of the definition of an argument to meditate and (2) provide students with a beginning ability to assess the thesis and supporting ideas that comprise arguments to meditate in the form of American Art. The details of the lesson itself are included in a document within the collection.
Braceros - Using Paintings and Photos to Analyze Mexican Immigrant Labor
This lesson will teach students about the bracero guest worker program, as well as painting, photograph, and textual analysis. Students will use the Domingo Ulloa painting as a jumping off point for an analysis of working and living conditions of migrant Mexican workers in the United States. Photographs from the American history collection will show workers's lives in America, while a primary source will show the effects of the bracero program on an individual. Finally, students will connect the bracero program of 1942-1964 to immigration issues of today by analyzing statements made by Donald Trump in the context of the bracero program.
Native Americans and Manifest Destiny
A collection of images focusing on the Native Americans and their vanishing cultures due to Manifest Destiny.
Lesson Concept
Travis Meserve
Bowling Green High School, Bowling Green, KY
Grade levels: 9-12
11th grade American Literature Focus for English Second Language Learners
Lesson Time: 50 minutes
1. Show the students a copy of the painting "Westward the Course of Empire Makes Its Way" by Emanuel Leutze (1861). Ask the students to spend a few moments observing the work in silence, noticing any details that draw their eyes. Ask the students to let their eyes touch every part of the canvas/picture.
2. Using the teaching strategy "See Think Wonder" ask the students to volunteer details in the work that they see. Ask them to describe only what they observe in the work (e.g. "I see a man in a fur hat holding a gun"). After the student makes a factual observation, ask the student "What do you see that makes you say that?" if the student says something that is not immediately obvious (e.g. the student sees a wooden sailing ship trapped in sea ice but describes it as a cabin). Do not correct the student. Let other students make observations and possibly correct each other through observation and discussion. After the student is satisfied with an observation, follow up with the question "What do you think about that?" Allow the student to offer any interpretations of what the detail means for the content of the work, the tone, the theme etc. Avoiding any value judgements, summarize back to the student his or her interpretation and evidential observations supplying any vocabulary the student might lack, asking for the student's approval of the final summary. Continue this procedure until the students exhaust their observations or the class time restraints are reached. Finally, follow up with the question "What does this work (or specific observation) make you wonder about?"
3. At this point, ask the students to note anything that they do not see but would expect to be represented in the scene. Second Language Learners who have been in the USA for 2-3 years would probably have some general ideas about the history of the USA and may be able to offer such absences. If not, the teacher may need to point out that no Native Americans appear in the main scene. If the students do not notice the border of the work, point out that there are small scenes in the border that add content/connections to the main scene. Point out that two Native Americans appear there, small and crawling.
4. Ask the students to make a journal entry writing their thoughts about the work, specifically noting the Americans who are represented as moving across the land and the Americans who are not represented.
If the students have enough command of the language, the teacher can discuss representing fact versus propaganda. Discuss the painting as advertisement for the movement west despite its factual inaccuracies (e.g. the painting depicts California as visible from the Rocky Mountains although it is actually 1,200 miles away). Contrast this with a handbill distributed in the Dust Bowl areas advertising workers needed in California to pick crops (in reality the number of workers was greater than the jobs available). A possible literary connection could be to The Grapes of Wrath.
Use the painting periodically through the course of American Literature. Students' reactions to the work may evolve as they expand their ideas of American history, manifest destiny, and the immigrant experience. Allow students to write new journal entries each time they revisit the work with new knowledge. Discuss the dialogue that gets created between the artist, the work, and the viewer based on what the viewer brings to the experience.
Objective: The student will be able to make a factual observation about the painting and offer interpretation (where possible) citing evidence from the work.
Follow-up lessons: On subsequent viewing of the work, the student will be able to identify themes in the painting that connect to texts from American Literature (e.g. attitude toward nature, the west, immigration, manifest destiny, etc.)
Rationale for using this artwork: The painting by Leutze encapsulates many themes that permeate American Literature and lends itself to an introduction to the course as well as an anchor for the course that will bear repeated viewing.
Rationale for the the methodology: The English as a Second Language student often does not bring a lot of background knowledge about American history or art. The See-Think-Wonder technique allows the student to engage with the work as an expert would: one who makes observations and interpretations that allow claims backed by evidence.
Differentiating Observation (fact) from Interpretation (opinion).
Making claims based on evidence.
Practice speaking in front of peers using the target language of English.

What is an American?
Context: A lesson for a U.S. History/American Literature humanities class. This lesson will come towards the end of our study of the Revolutionary period.
Essential Question: What does it mean to be an American in 1782?
- How does Crevecoeur define an American here? How accurate is his definition for that time period?
- To whom is Crevecouer making this appeal? What sort of person would be motivated by these passages?
- Who is included in Crevecoeur's appeal? Who is left out?
- How is "this new man" different?
- How does Crevecoeur help build the ideals and myths of America?
- How does this letter build on the idea of American Exceptionalism? America as the land of "new and improved"?
Students will have read Letter III before class.
Using the Smithsonian Learning Lab and the text excerpts below (or the entire text of Letter III), students will identify three key quotes or words and find artwork that connects to chosen text. Three total text excerpts and three works of art. The works of art can support, refute, or simply connect to some aspect of the quote and the idea of what it means to be an American.
Students will share their chosen artworks and quotes via the class Google classroom.
We will use the images as the basis for a class discussion on what it means to be an American.
After the class discussion, students will write a short paper on "What is an American?"
Student instructions:
1.. Using the Smithsonian Learning Lab and the text excerpts below (or the entire text of Letter III), identify three key quotes or words and find artwork that connects to chosen text. You can use the images below as a starting point, but don't feel limited to these. The Smithsonian has an amazing and extensive collection. Take time to use the search function and explore the collection. You have all period to do so. Be original.
2. By class tomorrow, post on the google classroom your text excerpts and accompanying three works of art. The text can be a whole sentence or just a few key words. The works of art can support, refute, or simply connect to some aspect of the text and the idea of what it means to be an American. Be sure to include the title, artist, and date for each artwork. Your artwork doesn't have to come from the Revolutionary time period. The important thing is that you use your critical reading and thinking skills to make a connection between the text and the art work.
3. Tomorrow we will have a class discussion based on the images and excerpts. Be prepared to share your thinking on your choices with the class.
As always, remember to consider speaker, audience, and purpose. Who is speaking? To whom is he appealing? Why?
Not sure where to start? Find what you think are the ten most important words in the passage. Narrow it down to the top three.
Based on our studies so far, what are the different groups, ethnicities, races, religious affiliations make up the population at this time? Which of these does Crevecouer include? Leave out?
How did these people come to be in America? Does that matter in Crevecouer's writing?
"Letters From An American Farmer"
by J. Hector St. John De Crevecoeur
"What then is the American, this new man?...He is an American, who, leaving
behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new
mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds. He has
become an American by being received in the broad lap of our great Alma Mater.
Here individuals of all races are melted into a new race of man, whose labors
and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world. Americans are the
western pilgrims...
"After a foreigner from any part of Europe is arrived, and become a citizen; let him devoutly listen to the voice of our great parent, which says to him, "Welcome to my shores, distressed European; bless the hour in which thou didst see my verdant fields, my fair navigable rivers, and my green mountains!--If thou wilt work, I have bread for thee; if thou wilt be honest, sober, and industrious, I have greater rewards to confer on thee--ease and independence. I will give thee fields to feed and clothe thee; a comfortable fireside to sit by, and tell thy children by what means thou hast prospered; and a decent bed to repose on. I shall endow thee beside with the immunities of a freeman. If thou wilt carefully educate thy children, teach them gratitude to God, and reverence to that government, that philanthropic government, which has collected here so many men and made them happy. I will also provide for thy progeny; and to every good man this ought to be the most holy, the most powerful, the most earnest wish he can possibly form, as well as the most consolatory prospect when he dies. Go thou and work and till; thou shalt prosper, provided thou be just, grateful, and industrious" (Letter III, 1782).
Why Move West?
Each resource symbolizes a reason why Americans chose to move west. For each one, complete the following activity:
1) Source it: Is it a primary or secondary source? Who made it? When was it made? What is the author's purpose (PIE)? Hint- click the i on the left side of the screen to learn more about the source.
2) Identify at least 4 details that you see in the image.
3) Why would this resource motivate people to move West? Use a specific detail that you saw to prove your point.
Language, Gender, and Culture: What is the author's or artist's role in society?
Introduction. In this unit, students investigate literature and art by individuals who, through their work, reflect on the U.S.-American experience. Is it the role of the artist and the writer to make us more reflective? If so, to what end? If we look at a startling image or read an inspiring story, is it a momentary thing? Do we go on unaffected or are we somehow changed? Are we supposed to do more than reflect? Are we supposed to rethink the ways we interact with others? Revise the way we live? Are we meant to take action? Our answers to these questions help us to understand the role of the author and the artist in a society that is fraught with conflict and, in a sense, put on edge by questions of identity.

Much like in their previous games, Manipur had a fast start. They went 2-0 up in the first 15 minutes itself, with the likes of Iron Prameshwori Devi and Bala Devi getting on the scoresheet. Kolhapur, though, were not prepared to give in so early, and went on the offensive immediately.
Their efforts to play their Nigerian forward Crystal Eke finally bore dividends, as she broke the offside trap, dummied Manipur keeper Roshini Devi, and walked the ball into the goal.
However, Manipur made sure that they carried a comfortable two-goal lead into the tunnel, when Bala Devi scored another right on the stroke of half time.
Manipur came out with more intent in the second half, and even nullified the threat posed by Eke by playing a highly effective offside trap. The Nigerian was flagged several times by the assistant referee.
Daya Devi added a fourth for Manipur when Bala played her into space on the right and the former beautifully chipped Kolhapur keeper Gyurme Dolma Tamang.
Manipur added two more goals thanks to Bala Devi, who dribbled past three players and laid it off for Salam Pramodini Devi to fire it past the keeper. A couple of minutes later, Bala completed her hat-trick to make a humiliating scoreline out of what promised to be an exciting match in the first half.

The region's oldest and most respected real-estate program that is graduate offers a solid business foundation and accessibility to some network of company and policy influencers throughout the area and around the world. Regarding real-estate, you need to also realize in the event the realty was used as your primary home and much less a rental property, that you simply reduce some of your capital-gains. Candidates usually must finish a number of property courses and pass a licensing examination to become licensed. That is essential reading for anyone either needing or desiring an improved comprehension about property issues and answers.
You get in touch with your self-directed IRA administrator for more information about IRA real estate tax benefits, also to notify your customer representative about your fascinating investment opportunity. In the event the home is well priced holding off for offerings is a strategy that is good: it ensures that prospective buyers have had the time to decide what they want to do, and appear in any way the disclosures and reviews your agent carefully helped you prepare upfront, and that the house has been seen enough.
Put together a listing of all the hard money-lenders you could work with because you are gonna need cash in the real estate investing company and that there are in your area. Grounds that may hinder a property investor from debt-leveraging multiple properties using their IRA funds include the need to avoid debt, the need to avoid UBIT (Unrelated Business Income-Tax ), as well as the hassle of managing three rental properties.

Exhibition: November 15 – December 30
Opening Reception: November 19 from 6-9PM
FORT WORKS ART will open Duets a Comparison of Realities on November 15, 2016. The exhibition will feature Tim Okamura, Sergio Garcia and Alonsa Guevara, artists with international credentials, superior talent and global recognition. Riley Holloway, Dan Lam and Lauren Childs will exhibit new works created for this visual conversation between their contemporary kinsmen.
Three pairs of artists will reveal, compare and contrast their ideas of art making. The various styles and concepts incorporated in the show are united through each artist's provocative voice, the way they handle materials and the statements they choose to create.
Tim Okamura and Riley Holloway are figurative artists that depict the power of women, minority populations and family. Okamura is a contemporary painter that paints his subjects in urban settings and uses a combination of graffiti and realism. Okamura has a long list of achievements that include commendation by United States Vice President Joe Biden, placement in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery and finalist in the Outwin Boochever award for Portraiture.
Riley Holloway creates portraits on oil and wood panel. His distinctive style combines loose brushstrokes, charcoal, text and texture. He developed his signature style while working in Florence. In 2012 he completed an art residency with the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas and was a finalist in 2015 for the Hunting Prize.
Sergio Garcia and Dan Lam are sculptors contrasting the link between reality and ambiguity. Garcia's recent figural work is convincingly realistic and unsettlingly funny. The technical fluency of Garcia's work and symbols never seize to conjure up questions of how and why.
Dan Lam, a millennial artist with soaring popularity recently closed "Coquette" at Fort Works Art that featured 90 pieces of sculpture. Her foam and resin pieces were developed while pursuing an MFA at Arizona State University. Lam's art has been published twice in New American Paintings and featured on Insider.
Alonsa Guevara and Lauren Childs are painters that understand and represent the cycles of nature and life in their work. Each of these women began art making at the age of 12. They each developed hyperbolic attributes, pushing the boundaries of color and texture.
Alonsa Guevara's seven years of living in the Ecuadorian jungle is the source of ceaseless inspiration that manifests in lush depictions of nature through a vivid palette. Guevara was recognized with the New York Academy Art Fellowship in 2014 and named Time Out New York's five most important new artists.
Lauren Childs is an award-winning artist with work that is published and shown throughout Texas and New York. Childs was a winner of the Siglo de Oro International Competition and was most recently a finalist in the show "Face It: Brooklyn," juried by Managing Editor of ARTnews, Annette Rose-Shapiro. Her work continues to explore issues of the human condition. Childs is the owner of Fort Works Art. Her days are spent painting, developing shows for the gallery and inspiring a new generation of artists.

"The Founding Fathers gave the Free Press the protection it must have- to fulfill its essential role in a Democracy. The Press must serve the governed, not the governors."
THIS WAS A LANDMARK DECISION IN 1971, of the American Supreme Court upholding the right of the Washington Post to publish the analysis of The Pentagon Papers.
The highly confidential 4,000 paged document exposed 30 years of the American government's fooling the Americans about the Vietnam War involving four presidents: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon.
They led the nation to believe that in true "Manifest Destiny" ideology -America was winning the war for democracy in Vietnam "to stop communism". The truth was it was losing the war and still committed thousands of American boys to die in the war to escape the embarrassment of an "American defeat" in a small Asian nation like Vietnam.
Earlier an American court had issued an injunction against the original whistleblower The New York Times to discontinue the publication of the same as it posed damage to the interest of the nation's defense.
This political thriller of a movie is "The Post" (soon in theaters) which has so far garnered US$134M at the box-office worldwide and made it a strong candidate for "Best Picture " and WITH Meryl Streep (as Kay Graham "Post" publisher) and Tom Hanks (Ben Bradlee "Post" Editor) in the running for "Best Actress" and "Best Actor" in the Oscars, respectively. | PRESS FREEDOM
There was pressure from everywhere for the Post not to publish the story.
Robert McNamara, a once powerful Defense Secretary and a Graham family friend, warned Kay that the current president Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon was a vicious animal "who will muster all the powers of the presidency to crush the Post and you will not have a second chance."
There were bankers and investors -mulling to buy into 1.3 million shares of the "Post" in an IPO (Initial Public Offering) worth $3-million who threatened to back out of the deal if the "Post" published the controversial papers. This money would have given stability and power to expand to the "Post".
There were threats from the government legal counsels that the "Post" could be charged criminally for "contempt of court" and publishing inimical news about government engaged in a raging war. It could mean the permanent closure of the newspaper. | PRESS FREEDOM
But Bradless and Graham were made of sterner stuff.
The Editor Bradlee had earlier resisted the demand of the White House to change its reporter there. The chinfirst, rock-jawed, hardnosed editor would not budge as he said: "the administration has no right to dictate what we can and can not print."
The woman publisher (the first of that gender in a major American newspaper) was even more solid. Although Kay was risking the loss of jobs of many employees she stuck to the legacy of her late husband and father. | PRESS FREEDOM
She reminded her detractors on the board that the mission of the paper was to "print outstanding news and to champion the interest of the nation and the welfare of a free press."
Graham then kind of figuratively wielded a sharp knife and told the group that anyone who disagrees with her is not welcomed in the board. Even as she told the imprudent McNamara:" I am seeking your advice, not your permission" whether to print in the "Post".
Jubilation rocked the nation when the Supreme Court voted 6-3 in favor of the "Post" as everybody wanted to end the Vietnam war and were angered for being lied to by the American government.
Scores of other newspapers then joined in publishing The Pentagon Papers in solidarity with the Times and the Post.
The Hindustan Times then editorialized:" To control the news is to control the votes and to control the votes is to control your fate. The press has always been a vulnerable machine, both envied and coveted. They've tried to attack it, to tame it, to cage it, but like Bradlee and Kay Graham, it barrels on."
The piqued Nixon retaliated by banning all "Post" newsperson in the White House, church services and social life of the First Family. One wonders whose loss it was.
Years later, this enemy of the American media was indicted, impeached and consequently resigned as President for the "obstruction of justice" over the Watergate scandal involving the illegal break-in of the Democrat's political headquarters.
Today's scenario may be unlike the 70's as there are so much social media and the proliferation of "fake news" these days.
But one lesson to be learned from the "Post" is that this newspaper was there "to doubt, to challenge, never to settle" in the face of massive government propaganda of lies.
That should also be the attitude today as we read an overload of information – wrong, right and middle- to doubt, challenge and not to settle.
Catch the movie "The Post" in your local theaters. And understand the struggle of the legitimate mainstream media to pursue the ends of truth and justice. | PRESS FREEDOM

Here's the latest as of 1 p.m. today, Wed. November 16, 2011:
Note: I have not come across any interesting new maps or images in recent days, so this post, along with future ones, may simply include links to notable news stories.
Remember that for previous summaries of the situation, maps, images, etc., see the Thailand flooding tag.
And for more frequent updates, you can follow me on Twitter.
News reports
The AP reports today:
Flood waters in Thailand's capital are continually receding and all main streets will be dry in two weeks, authorities said Wednesday, providing long-overdue good news after months of inundation that have killed 564 people nationwide.
Also Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will announce a "substantial" aid package when she arrives on a hastily arranged trip to express solidarity, officials said.
A New York Times story from yesterday says:
Troops and army trucks are rolling through the streets of Bangkok again. But this time it is not to battle protesters or overthrow a prime minister.
Instead, they are ferrying residents around the city on heavy-duty military vehicles that can get through its flooded streets, with banners on each one reading "Royal Thai Army helping the people."
In a country deeply divided over the military's role in civilian life, Thailand's top generals have used the floods, the worst the country has had in decades, as an opportunity to showcase the army's friendlier side.
The WSJ's Southeast Asia Real Time reports:
Thailand's transport authorities have a fresh flood problem — people are putting metal spikes on submerged roads.
In some parts of the country, unknown persons have placed spikes on the road in an apparent bid to puncture vehicle tires and prevent buses and supply trucks getting in and out of affected areas. Some officials suspect profiteers selling basic goods at inflated prices are to blame as they try to prevent relief efforts getting to badly affected areas. Others say boat operators might be sabotaging the relief effort because the arrival of trucks in flooded areas threatens their business.
And finally, for a glimpse at the lighter side of the Thai floods, check out the Thai Flood Hacks site, which showcases innovations like animal flotation devices and improvised boats.
Related AP story:
Flooded out but still want to make a fashion statement? Try these lime green rubber boots. Feeling stir crazy with the fetid waters surrounding your home? How about special snorkels to keep your car running in high water – or a jet ski to navigate submerged streets?
In Bangkok, a tireless Asian mega-city never shy about making a buck, an ongoing flood disaster has provided plenty of opportunity for business ingenuity to flourish.

*This post was updated November 3, 2015.
We're always searching for "the secret" to solving life's troubles. Usually, we realize that no matter the solution, we still have to put in the work to see the results we want. If we want to lose weight, we have to exercise and change our eating habits. We can try the treadmill or take up boxing. We can join Jenny Craig or just replace bad snacks with healthy ones. What works for you might not work for me. You've heard all this before, yes?
Well, it's the same with tackling clutter. There are some rules of thumb, but, generally, there's no right or wrong way to attack clutter. Whatever method you choose, you should implement a strategy that's a good fit for your personality and learning style so that it will be easier for you to maintain in the long run.
The Clutter Paradox: Contradictions in Clutter Clearing Methods
Here's a look at opposing ways of clearing clutter. It's a paradoxical perspective, and depending on your personality and specific circumstances, either option might work.
Where should you start?
1. Start with the hardest thing first.
Start with the most difficult organizing project and your efforts will pay off big. That hard task will get smaller, not seem as daunting, and you'll cross it off your list sooner. This will be a huge relief since it's probably been sitting on that list for some time.
2. Start with the easiest thing first.
Start with the easiest task and you'll get instant gratification! With a small, easy project, you're likely to finish it on your first attempt AND you'll cross it off your list immediately. That great feeling of success will motivate you to move on to the next task.
How long should you spend attacking your clutter?
3. Do a little at a time.
This is one of the best methods for reducing clutter – just do ten minutes a day. It may not sound like much, but those ten minutes can go a long way to chopping down the clutter giant. You'll feel accomplished because you acted on your commitment to getting organized, and still have time to do the things you love to do.
4. Do a lot at a time.
Another great way to manage mountainous clutter is to devote chunks of time to your project. When you're focused for 45-60 or more minutes (think Konmari — affiliate link), you can make a big dent and see results a lot more quickly. You know yourself best, so be sure to pick a time frame that won't leave you feeling overwhelmed.
Who is the best person to help you? Someone you know or a professional organizer?
5. Get help from friends and family members.
Friends and family members can be very supportive and help you to physically clear an area, especially if you feed them! They are almost always guaranteed to laugh at those old pictures of you or tease you about your Cabbage Patch Doll collection. =)
This can make the process less tedious, and actually, they may be interested in taking a few things off your hands. After you're done working, you can go out to celebrate all that you've accomplished. As long as loved ones are non-judgmental and focused, the process can go smoothly.
6. Get help from a professional organizer.
Professional organizers, particularly those who adhere to National Association of Professional Organizer's Code of Ethics, will be non-judgmental and will not share details of your project with others (e.g., "Jane Doe's home office was a super hot mess! It took hours to clean up!").
They are also knowledgeable about strategies that complement your learning style and can give you a fresh, objective perspective on how to tackle that thorn in your side. Some organizers may have a network of other professionals needed for the project (e.g., bookkeeper, junk hauler, maid service, etc.) and may help by dropping off donations for you.
Will playing music be helpful or distracting?
7. Play your favorite music.
Having lively music on can help you stay motivated or help you finish your task. Have you noticed that gyms use this same method? When the spinning instructor wants you to go that extra mile, the music gets a bit more upbeat. If you put on your favorite CD, you might be able to pull of #4.
8. Work in silence.
If playing music makes you get up and dance all day instead of organizing, then you may lose a few extra pounds. That's also the signal that music is a bit too distracting. If you're at your best in pin-drop silence, then work sans audio – that includes turning off the TV, telephone, and e-mail notifications. You'll get a lot more done and feel darn good about it.

Malcolm Pyne of the North Petherton Pyne's of Somerset triumphed in the prestigious Sausages of Distinction competition during British Sausage Week.
After being named the best sausage maker in southern England by the National Federation of Meat Traders, Malcolm is now representing the West Country in the national final.
The competition to find Britain's best sausage is led by AHDB, the government-run food and farming development agency and has attracted more than 500 entries from independent butchers and farm shops across the country.
Malcolm, whose staff at his North Petherton shop turn out more than 12,000 sausages a week, said British Sausage Week was taking the competition to a new level.
He said: "I'm delighted to have got this far and now all I can do is keep my fingers crossed.
"But on a wider issue I'm also delighted that the competition has attracted so many entries, because that's a reflection of the new interest in sausage-making in this country and the fact that the British sausage, which used to be an international laughing-stock, can hold its own against any similar product from any other country.
"There's no magic formula behind ours. All we do is use the same finest, free-range pork in our sausages that we sell as joints or chops."

ACT Plan
One of the concerns of our Advisory Board was that our Academy was preferentially targeting those students already destined for academic success. To demonstrate that our Academy attracts and accepts a variety of students, as also witnessed from the demographic comparison chart on page 3, the PLAN test scores are displayed above. The PLAN is a preliminary ACT test that is generally administered in the sophomore year. ACT, Inc. claims that it predicts success on the ACT. It is viewed as the ACT's equivalent of the PSAT. The PLAN® Test includes four multiple-choice tests: English, Math, Reading, and Science with scores ranging from 0 to 32. The chart above demonstrates that our current sophomores are a great mixture of intelligence to include academia experience. This will prove beneficial as our students learn to collaborate and learn from and with each other throughout this program.
Faculties engage in departmental assessment because assessment data facilitate improvement of academic offerings and program planning. Assessment discussions foster re-examination of values at both the departmental and institutional level; assessment also promotes interdisciplinary conversations about student learning throughout campus. Because every department and program contributes to student learning, assessment also bridges academic and student affairs. Governing boards, as well as accrediting and governmental agencies, require assessment activities to make institutions accountable to funding agencies and the public-at-large.

Here's what lies ahead for SoCal soccer lovers this week:
*The Galaxy and Chivas USA are both out of town.
The Galaxy headed to Arizona Sunday for a 10-day camp that will see them play the Colorado Rapids Wednesday and Vancouver Sunday and next Tuesday.
From the Galaxy weekly update:
This is the third time in Arizona for the Galaxy in as many years. A total of 26 players made the trip, though just 24 were on Sunday's morning flight from LAX – Gregg Berhalter arrived Sunday night while Adam Cristman is scheduled to arrive on Monday night. In addition to the 26 players, a total of 13 coaches and staff members made the trip.
*Chivas USA announced several new trialists Monday via their weekly update:
A trio of players has joined the Red-and-White on trial while the team is in Casa Grande, Ariz., for a week, in Colombian defender Jimmy Asprilla, recent Wake Forest graduate goalkeeper Arika Fitzgerald, and midfielder Guillermo 'Memo' Torres, recently of Pachuca and the younger brother of United States National Team player Jose Francisco Torres.
Chivas USA dropped a 1-0 decision to the Seattle Sounders Saturday in Casa Grande, with David Estrada getting the 75th minute winner.
Chivas USA plays Real Salt Lake Tuesday and the Vancouver Whitecaps Friday before returning home.
Here's the Chivas USA lineup against Seattle:
First 60′: Zach Thornton, Zarek Valentin, Jimmy Conrad, Michael Umaa, Jimmy Conrad, Ante Jazic, Michael Lahoud, Blair Gavin, Gerson Mayn, Victor Estupian, Francisco Mendoza, Alan Gordon
Final 30′: Sergio Arias, Jimmy Asprilla, Andrew Boyens, unnamed trialist, Jorge Flores, Ben Zemanski, Guillermo Torres, Mariano Trujillo, Jess Padilla, Sal Zizzo, Chukwudi Chijindu
*While the two local MLS clubs are absent this week, D.C. United head to Oxnard College Wednesday for preseason training and will play the Ventura County Fusion Saturday. It appears increasingly likely that former U.S. international Charlie Davies will still be in the United camp by the time the game rolls around.
*Mexico's victory last Wednesday over Bosnia-Herzegovina made Telefutura the No. 1 station among adults aged 18-49 in Los Angeles.
*Speaking of soccer on TV, Clint Dempsey's Fulham plays Chelsea at noon today on
Fox Soccer Channel ESPN2, while the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League cranks up Tuesday and Wednesday. I'll have more on that in Tuesday's column.

How is Sorting Equipment Used in Recycling?
Sorting equipment for recycling is a collective term that includes everything from simple bins to complex, computer-controlled micro-processors.
The act of sorting is the most labor intensive, and the most critical step for the recovery of usable materials from the general waste stream. Mixed waste is too impure for any kind of immediate reclamation. It must be separated into the various types of paper, metals, and plastics. This separation is generally called sorting.
Some large material recycling facilities accept and process enough potentially recyclable material to justify expensive, complex sorting machines, in addition to human sorters. However, smaller operations have to rely more heavily on simply technology and humans. For these facilities, pre-sorting is a big help.
The most basic sorting equipment is home tubs which divide the recyclable items. If curbside recycling is available to homeowners, these bins will probably be emptied into larger, separated compartments on a recycling truck. Some places, consumers can take recyclables to a transfer station, where they are expected to do the bulk of the sorting. Roll-off containers will be labeled with the products they are to be filled with. Loading the containers directly on trucks eliminates further handling of the waste before it reaches the recovery facility.
For example, it is a simple mechanical process to separate ferrous metal from non-ferrous metal, glass and plastic. If these items are separated from paper, and the various grades of cardboard and paper are correctly sorted by the consumer, a great deal of expense is saved.
A sorting line for metal, glass and plastic will feed this stream onto a conveyor belt. A magnet will remove ferrous metal. An air sorter can suspend the other items, letting heavy glass fall to the lowest level. Aluminum will be somewhat suspended, and pulled out of the middle of the stream, while plastic can be blown off the top. Another mechanical means of removing the glass is for the mixed stream to be crushed and then run across a screen where the small particles of glass fall out.
Separating plastic types involves either manual sorting, or sophisticated electronics, Electronic methods of separating plastics analyze each piece traveling along a conveyor with infrared light or an optical scanner. Each piece is then deflected into the correct bin by bursts of air.
New technologies of sorting equipment which allow for better sorting with less human intervention will improve the economic value of recycling programs.

Holly's tiny apartment was lovely, elegant, and jewel-like, like the woman herself; though also a bit cramped and impractical, like the woman herself.
I praised Joseph Finder's Suspicion a few reviews back, but said I wouldn't read more from the author. That was just because I identified strongly with the hero, and the high-tension story kind of raised my blood pressure. But our commenter Paul persuaded me to try Finder's The Fixer, and I succumbed. This one wasn't as nerve-wracking for me, mainly because I didn't quite believe in the protagonist. The hero of The Fixer, Rick Hoffman, was – in my opinion – kind of a moron. I mean, if I discovered a couple million in cash hidden in my father's house, I'm pretty sure I would not try to keep it secret and hope nobody would notice. I'd go straight to the police and hope to collect some kind of finder's fee. Because if there's one thing I know from novels and movies, it's that money like that has to be dirty, and dirty people will be looking for it.
Rick is a former investigative journalist who traded in his principles for a high-paying job writing puff pieces for a Boston magazine. Now the magazine is going all-online, and he's been reduced to "contributor" status. This loses him his apartment and his fiancée. Now he's living in his father's unheated house, left derelict since the old man had a stroke about 20 years ago. That's how he discovers a hidden room with a big pile of money in it. Rick has suspicions about its source, as his father used to be a "fixer," a bag man for corrupt city politicians.
And sure enough, men start following Rick around, and he gets abducted and threatened with maiming. But that only makes him more determined to learn his father's secrets and hold on to the money (I thought the plot lost some plausibility at that point).
The Fixer was an exciting book, but I had trouble believing it. Rick is portrayed as a very bright guy, but it seemed to me he made a lot of really stupid decisions. He also got beat up and injured a lot, without being deterred in the least.
But it was gripping, and the prose was superior. The politics leaned left, but weren't preachy. So, recommended, with the usual grownup cautions.

Lime Jello Cheesecake
Lime jello cheesecake is a fun and easy way to get jello and cheesecake in one dessert!
- 2 8oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 graham cracker pie crust
- 3oz box lime jello
- 3/4 cups boiling water
- 1 1/4 cups ice cube-water mixture
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, lime juice and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix just until blended. Pour into crust. Bake 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 1 hour before starting next step.
Stir 3/4 cup boiling water into gelatin in medium bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Mix 1/2 cup cold water and ice cubes to make 1-1/4 cups. Add to gelatin, stirring until slightly thickened. Remove any remaining ice. Refrigerate 20 minutes for a soft-set then gently spoon onto chilled cheesecake. Allow to completely set for 2-3 hours. Serve with whipped cream. I like to use sweetened heavy whipping cream flavored with lime zest instead of whipped cream.

VSSEMS - a Utility for SourceSafe Administrators
Currently, it is not possible to migrate or copy a list of users and their concominant rights/assignments from an existing VSS database to another one, using either shipped VSS features or programmatically, using IVSS. However, our capable friends in Microsoft's Product Support Services (PSS) have developed a tool that can perform this task automatically. You can download this tool from http://www.korbyparnell.com/tools/vssems.msi.
If you are the designated VSS database administrator on your team, VSSEMS can help you do much more than copy a user list from one database to another. Check it out. This utility is officially unsupported by Microsoft (or me for that matter :-). However, if you experience any difficulties while using it, please feel free to let me know.

ANAD Marvel Adventures: Karnak #1 and This is Marvel Ellis Unleashed
Warren Ellis on Karnak was what I called the wild card comic. Far and away out of any title this was a big wildcard. It's also possibly one of my favorite things I've seen Ellis do at Marvel up there with Nextwave and his Secret Avengers run. Karnak is brought to life in the best way possible via Warren Ellis. You have a perfect art style with Gerardo Zaffino, amazing colors by Dan Brown suiting the gritty but strangely enjoyable atmosphere this comic has. We're putting it out there now that I loved this comic. I really loved this comic. The review aspect of this pretty much got incinerated when I was muttering Spider Jerusalem quotes in my head and I knew Karnak was making me really happy. Warren Ellis, Gerardo Zaffino, and Dan Brown really have something here and now I'm going to spend this post having a full blown happy dance about this comic and all the things I love about it. Come join me, seriously, this is the ultimate happy dance post here.
(Note I nearly titled this that it isn't a review but definitely a comic book happy dance, oh my twitter feed right now got the simple reaction to my comic, this is the fleshed out version of it.)
If you've never read a single Inhuman anything in your life, you're fine reading Karnak. If you're just a fan of Warren Ellis you can read Karnak and have a blast. This is the book that I feel out of a lot of the recent Warren Ellis Marvel adventures suits him best. I liked his Moon Knight pretty well but Karnak I totally adore from the first issue. I think it is because Karnak is an easy character to get a handle on. He sees the weakness in all things, he can see the flaws and use them to his advantage. He's got his Tower of Wisdom and he's the Magister of it or as explained in the book, the Inhuman title for High Priest. It does reference the Terrigen Mists but I think it does a good enough of a job explaining what the mists did. It is the Karnak show and even better you get fun appearances from Coulson and Simmons, which now makes me want an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. book written by Ellis.
Extra bonus points for Gerardo Zaffino's art on this comic. It's got such a nice feel to it, it's got a grit to it yet smooth as silk when it counts. Karnak is someone who can feel the room around him and Ellis got a good partner in Zaffino to bring that out. Karnak is the kind of guy who when he enters a room, he knows his place in it. That's how Zaffino handled him in his art and it was great to see that he could do great work with showing emotions or lack thereof. A great sense of storytelling is at work here as even with the action, it was spot on gorgeous. Dan Brown is also this phenomenal colorist, in a book mostly shaded in darker tones he's adept with it. You could feel as though you were in an old broken down headquarters. The final page was also a masterwork in popping your eyes out with action and then begging for more, that's pure art, writing, and coloring merging together to make beautiful music.
Yes, Karnak is good and even with Warren Ellis involved I get the feeling no one will know what to make of it. I say though for the Marvel reader and a fan of the Inhumans, you'll dig it and for the Warren Ellis fan, I am restating this again that you'll probably dig it too. Warren Ellis is on his A-game with this series. Karnak #1 comes highly recommended by me. Enjoy it.

The Missouri House has passed legislation to ban so-called "late term" abortions in the Show-Me State.
The bill would ban abortions after 20 weeks unless two doctors verify that a fetus is either not viable or is a medical threat to the mother.
The sponsor, House Majority Floor Leader Tim Jones (R, Eureka), called abortions after 20 weeks a "barbaric practice that puts mothers at risk."
"You are slaughtering an infant...that's what it is," Jones said during floor debate. "These children could just as easily be born and placed in the NICU down at Children's Hospital or Barnes Jewish, and I've seen them…they're little, precious, pieces of life, and they live...because at that point, they ARE viable!"
State Representative Stacey Newman (D, Richmond Heights) argued that the bill does nothing to protect women.
"This bill is about government intrusion into personal family medical situations that each one of us hope(s) that we never, ever have to face," Newman said.
The bill passed 119 to 38, with 15 Democrats joining with the GOP majority in voting "yes." It now goes to the Missouri Senate.
