Editorial: Marion Barry, gifted politicianEditorial Board
FOR YEARS in the latter part of his eventful life, Marion S. Barry was something of a figure of fun, at least to many people who didn't live in the District of Columbia. He never lost a passionate constituency of admirers in this city. But for many, it became all too easy to forget, as this city's four-term mayor went from one crisis or scandal to another over his long career, that there was a time when he was a widely admired leader in his adopted home town.

Marion Barry was open and honest about his shortcomings, even his own dishonestyCourtland Milloy
Ask Marion Barry about all the things that could have killed him — a gunshot shot to the chest, addiction to drugs and alcohol, a litany of potentially fatal diseases, not to mention a bevy of angry wives and girlfriends — and he'd find a way to credit God for sparing his life. Read full article >>
The 9 most fascinating numbers from national exit pollsChris Cillizza
The best thing about elections — if you are a numbers nerd like me — is the massive amount of raw data about the American public and what they think, as well as the how and why of it. Yes, only about 36 percent of eligible voters cast ballots three weeks ago, but that still amounts to almost 77 million people — a pretty great sample to sort through. Read full article >>

The Mayor for Life is no longer with usClinton Yates
It took me 10 years to realize that Marion's first name wasn't "Mayor." His presence, his existence, his work meant everything to young black folks from this city. You'll probably read a million things about summer jobs and what he did for the city over the next few days. You'll likely see a lot of crass jokes about his life and legacy over the weekend. But right now, I don't have it in me to say anything about the man, other than: thank you. He was a great human. I will have a lot more to write about this once I collect myself. I called my father 10 minutes ago. He knew why. He answered. All I did was cry. I don't think I'll stop anytime soon. Marion Barry is dead. I can type it. But I can't say it out loud.

Bill Cosby's legacy, recast: Accusers speak in detail about sexual-assault allegationsManuel Roig-Franzia, Scott Higham, Paul Farhi, Mary Pat Flaherty
They didn't see a comedian. They saw the "king of the world." Long before there was a Dr. Cliff Huxtable, before rumpled sweaters and a collective anointing as America's dad, Bill Cosby was magnified a hundredfold in the eyes of the young models and actresses he pulled into his orbit. For them, he embodied the hippest of the 1960s and '70s Hollywood scene, a mega-star with the power to make somebodies out of nobodies. Read full article >>
St. Louis area braces for aftershock of grand jury's decision on Ferguson shootingDavid Montgomery, Wesley Lowery
ST. LOUIS — In a city bracing for another convulsion, the waiting game looks like this: University students gather in a gym and rally for peace.

Editorial: On Velvet Revolution's anniversary, a reinforced commitment to democracyEditorial Board
THE 25TH anniversary of the anti-Communist revolution in Central and Eastern Europe has been marked by celebrations but also by worrying signs that some of its signal achievements are threatened. Since 1989, six former members of the Soviet-dominated Warsaw Pact (or their successor states) have transformed their economies, joined the European Union and NATO, and established democracies. Their achievements look particularly impressive when set alongside the chaos and civil wars that have followed the Arab uprisings of 2011. Read full article >>

Who shot, torched, and killed D.C. mother of three?Richard Reeve, ABC 7 News 3 hrs ago
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- Saturday was a day of strong emotion for friends and family of murder victim Latroia Smith, a 26-year old mother of three, as they issued a plea for help in finding her killer. On November 2, about 5 a.m, a Sunday morning, firefighters responded to a call at the now boarded up townhouse, in the 2700 block of Langston Place SE. Inside the vacant building, fire crews found Smith's body. She'd been shot several times. Smith's family believes the killer then set her on fire. "Yes yes yes, I'm so blessed...," whispered Lolillian Smith, as she hugged a supporter, only yards from the vacant Southeast Washington townhouse where her daughter was killed. "We're not going anywhere," Lolillian Smith declared at one point. "We need answers." "She didn't deserve this. No one deserves this," said Tarrazzia Martin, an Agape Community Services Volunteer. "...And whoever did this is an evil force." "Latroia was shot, beaten, burned and left in this abandoned place alone to die," her mother says. "We used to speak every day, and I couldn't believe it was the same person they were taking about," says one neighbor, who doesn't want her name used. Police haven't released many details about their investigation, but the neighbor believes Smith was targeted. "I felt like that was real personal, that wasn't just something just to be done. Animosity found her," she added. Police say Smith attended a party the night before, in the Woodland Terrace public housing complex. "I don't know what's going through people's minds these days," says Dorothy Good, at the Woodland Complex, visiting her brother Saturday. "The person who did it needs to turn themselves in." Stuffed animals and flowers mark the crime scene. So far, there are no suspects. Smith's family spent time putting up reward posters, and passing out flyers. They hope someone with information will come forward. "Someone is still roaming free, living their life every day, and not being brought to justice for what happened," says Amilia Osborne, Smith's cousin. But most agree, getting leads has been difficult. "There's fear," Martin says. "Anything could happen. Retaliation. People just don't want to talk." The family believes the killer or killers have used the same townhouse before. Police say there have been at least three other homicides in the same complex. MPD has announced a $25,000 reward for information. The family is pleading for someone, anyone to come forward. "Somebody knows some answers and Latroia was a beautiful young woman," Lolillian Smith says.
Then-Mayor Marion Barry takes the mic on ABC7 as a guest sportscasterABC 7 News
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Former D.C. Mayor and Council Member Marion Barry, who died early Sunday morning, was a man of great talents, passions, and knowledge in many fields, including sports. Once in the 1990s while he was mayor, he even helped out briefly on WJLA as a guest sportscaster, calling the highlights on a Lakers-Rockets game. For the record, no one suggested he give up his day job as mayor of the nation's capital, but he had fun with it and so did the sports crew.

?Washington Business Report? ? Nov. 23, 2014Rebecca Cooper
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – On this week's edition of "Washington Business Report" with ABC 7 News National Correspondent Rebecca Cooper: One-on-one with Overstock.com Founder and CEO Patrick Byrne He's been described as many things, but most people most know Patrick Byrne as the founder and CEO of Overstock.com. While he was in town to deliver the keynote address on central banking at D.C.'s Cato Institute, we caught up with him. In this week's portion, the man who attended Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda spoke with Rebecca about: Wall Street: • Byrne is vocal about the criminality that he says exists on Wall Street • He believes Washington is not doing an adequate job of protecting us from this activity, and he works to raise exposure Management philosophies: • Byrne affirms that decisions in a company should be made by those who have the proper knowledge to be making them, whether it be a senior executive, customer service employee, or anyone in between • His role as CEO, in his eyes, is to create an institution that allows decisions to be made in this vein • He advocates for employee promotion and has faith that allowing workers to be involved in decision making enables such advancement Warren Buffet: • Byrne was taken under the wing of Warren Buffet from the time he was in middle school • From Buffet, Byrne learned first class information about stocks and business decision making Small business spotlight: Virtual workers Businesses are always looking for new ways to use from-home workers, or virtual workers. The use of these virtual workers poses questions for both workers and those managing them. For our Spotlight on Small Business this week, Mary Abbajay discusses why virtual workers or tele-workers should be embraced, the most effective ways in managing them, and how they can put themselves in the best position to be productive. Why does the workplace of the future include virtual workers? • Virtual workers save money and office space • Employees working from home often see increased productivity, especially in tasks requiring creativity What should managers do to get the most from virtual workers? • Be clear on both policies and expectations • Really know your people What should virtual workers do to be the most effective? • Find an appropriate workspace which is free of distraction and spacious enough for all necessary work materials • Keep a routine—working from home is not an excuse to sleep in or pick up bad habits • Know your personality—if you are an extrovert, too much work away from the office may be disadvantageous Round table: Immigration, Obamacare Jonathan Aberman and Peter Morici discussed innovation at the Pentagon, President Obama's immigration announcement, and the Republicans' Obamacare lawsuit: About the Pentagon: • The Pentagon's new technology initiative will create much opportunity and shed light on the innovation present in the Washington region and not just Silicon Valley Immigration: • Obama's announcement to relieve more than 4 million undocumented immigrants drew harsh opposition from the Republican Party, who have threatened to sue • The likelihood of a successful lawsuit is slim as no one has been harmed • While immigration can be beneficial towards business, Morici considers Obama's move one of political motivation rather than economical The pending Republican lawsuit: • The House of Republicans filed on Friday a lawsuit against the Obama administration on health care related matters • Under our Constitution, it would seem as if no legal outcome can be achieved, the panelists say

I-95 express lanes will cut commute time for drivers willing to paySuzanne Kennedy, Kimberly Suiters
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WJLA) - A new 29-mile stretch of express lanes along Interstate 95 is expected to make life much easier for Northern Virginia commuters once it opens next month. The stretch runs along I-95 from Garrisonville Road in Stafford County to Edsall Road in Fairfax County, a particularly busy stretch of the interstate, especially during rush hours. The new lanes are expected to open in mid-December. The lanes will be free to buses, motorcycles and cars carrying more than three people. Cars with two people or less will have to pay a toll that will vary based on traffic conditions, and anyone who wants to use the lanes must have an EZ-Pass. For paying rush hour drivers, a trip along the express lanes is expected to cost between $6 and $8.

Former DC Mayor Marion Barry dies at 78
Divisive and flamboyant, maddening and beloved, Marion Barry outshone every politician in the 40-year history of District of Columbia self-rule. But for many, his legacy was not defined by the accomplishments and failures of his four terms as mayor and long service on the D.C. Council.

Marion Barry, 78, dies, remembered by city leaders, friends
Former four-time District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry, 78, died after midnight on Sunday, Nov. 23 at the District's United Medical Center, after being released earlier Saturday evening around 6:30 p.m. from Howard University Hospital. The legendary and embattled D.C. politician was admitted Thursday to Howard University Hospital because he was no feeling well, according to D.C. council spokeswoman LaToya Foster. WTOP's Jamie Forzato reports that according to Foster, Barry was discharged Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. when he told her he was in good spirits. He then went home, watched a little TV and went to get something to eat. He then drove home where he collapsed while getting out of his vehicle. Related Stories: In depth: Barry's colorful career spanned decades An ambulance was called and his wife Cora went with him. He arrived to UMC around 12:15 a.m. He was pronounced dead at 1:46 Sunday morning. According to officials, exact cause of death has not yet been determined. Mayor-elect Muriel Bowser spoke at a press conference where she said she is saddened and shocked at the loss of MB. "He was an inspiration fighter champion for the people of Ward 8 and he left a strong legacy." She says after Barry was discharged, he went home, watched TV and visited with his son. But he collapsed while getting out of his car and he was taken to the UMC with his wife by his side. He died at 12:15 a.m. from cardiac arrest. UMC released a statement Sunday morning: Mr. Barry has had a long history of social and political engagement in the District and across the nation. His advocacy on behalf of the poor, the less fortunate and others will certainly be missed. "Over the years, Councilmember Barry has maintained a strong and heartfelt resolve to keep United Medical Center open for the people east of the Anacostia River. Without his involvement and continued work on our behalf we are certain that this hospital would not be where it is today," read the release. "Mr. Barry taught us all so much about fighting for justice; fighting for the people; fighting for the poor - it now becomes our responsibility to keep his legacy alive." Barry had a serious blood infection earlier this year and endured two lengthy hospital stays. He suffered from diabetes and has a kidney transplant in 2009. He was also a prostate cancer survivor. Barry was first elected mayor in 1978 after building a political career as an official of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and a local activist in Washington. Re-elected in 1982 and 1986, he was dubbed "Mayor For Life." He made national headlines in 1990 when he was convicted and sent to prison for 6 months after getting caught in a sting smoking crack with a girlfriend in a D.C. hotel room. His career has been fraught with financial scandal and tainted by his drug abuse problems early on. But observers say his contributions to the city will be remembered as substantial and varied for years to come. "There was the good Marion Barry and the bad Marion Barry, both in equal measure," recalled longtime congressional correspondent and WTOP reporter Dave McConnell on air Sunday morning. "But I think as a larger than life figure Barry will be remembered as bringing bringing power and focus to to the Mayor's Office," taking over in 1979 and heading the District's redevelopment. "He knew what he wanted to do and would do it by any means necessary." Barry was married four times and is survived by one son, Marion Christopher Barry. Barry released his autobiography "Mayor For Life, the Incredible Story of Marion Barry, Jr." in June 2014. He will appear on Barry on Oprah's "Where Are They Now" program this Sunday at 9 p.m. EST. Friends and colleagues began to respond on Twitter early Sunday, including longtime friend Rev. Jesse Jackson and Bowser: Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mayor Marion Barry. pic.twitter.com/kpi0hJDffh

Noosa Heads Apartment Rental Photos and Description
Fantastic location near beach, for 2 persons, with one extra
Located across the street from Noosa's Laguna Bay, and the boardwalk to Noosa National Park, this Mediterranean inspired resort has the lot. Spend the morning at the beautiful north facing beach, then relax in the resort's heated lagoon pool, with beach entrance, or watch the kids in the wading pool. Socialise with other guests while the kids meet new friends, in the tropical gardens around the pool. If you don't have young kids, then why not enjoy sitting in a heated spa, or the sauna. Leave the car in the resort's lockup car park.
Building restrictions in Noosa ensure that trees are often taller than the buildings, with the units in this resort nestled into the landscape. A boardwalk starting at main beach takes you to the entrance of Noosa National Park, where you can sit and watch the surf board riders, or get fit and walk along the paths. The ocean scenery is spectacular, where dolphins and turtles are often seen. Look up into the trees and you may spot a koala. Pathways also lead down to small pristine beaches, where you may find yourselves to be the only ones there. Hastings Street is lined with boutiques, jewellery shops, ice creameries and world class restaurants. Book your place in a restaurant which looks out over the sea. Nothing is too far away, with convenience stores in the street, however there are many outlets in the street to book an excursion to places such as Fraser Island, Eumundi markets, Australia Zoo, Noosa North shore and Underwater World.
Enter the unit via the elevator or stairs from the car park, however the patio is on ground level with easy access to the pool and beach. Open the large glass patio doors to enjoy alfresco meals and drinks, under the protection of a large roof. The patio's north east aspect allows the sea breezes to be felt, with protection from the afternoon summer sun. In winter keep warm as the sun floods onto the patio.
The kitchen has a stove top, fridge and microwave. In the bedroom there is a queen bed, and an extra person has the use of a rollaway bed, portable cot, or the sofa bed. The TV, DVD player and stereo with Ipod dock are in the lounge room. Access to the unit is ideal for people not wanting to use stairs, or for parents with baby prams.
- Suitability:
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair accessible
Why Louise Johnson chose Noosa Heads
contact owner/manager for great rates. No agents fees. Stay longer for even better nightly rates
What makes this apartment unique
relax in the lagoon pool, and then take a few steps back to the unit's ground floor patio.

Starbucks to Give Away Free Music
For about a month this fall, Starbucks and Apple are teaming up to bring customers free music. Between October 2 and November 7, Starbucks customers can receive "Song of the Day" cards redeemable on iTunes for a complimentary song that has been selected by Starbucks Entertainment. According to Reuters, "Starbucks said it will give away 1.5 million downloads per day for a total of more than 50 million free songs. Customers will have until the end of the year to redeem the song on iTunes."
Also beginning October 2, many Starbucks cafes will provide free wi-fi access specifically for the iTunes store. So, theoretically you could purchase your coffee, grab your "Song of the Day" card, open up your laptop right there and download the music, all in one fell swoop. I think this could be pretty cool — especially if some lesser-known bands get the chance to have their songs included in the giveaway. What do you think about this? Will you be taking a "Song of the Day" card with your morning coffee come October? Also, do you think this will draw in customers who don't normally go to Starbucks?

DS snags two slots at top of '06 charts
It's always nice to be reminded that it's not just about us. Y'know, the hardcore devotees the folks who cackle over zany niche titles, when we're not busy whipping it good in something a little more mainstream. Awesome as we are, we're not the only ones who drive the DS market ... and the list of the bestselling games of 2006 (in the U.S.) serves as a great little reminder. The DS grabbed two of this year's top spots with New Super Mario Bros. and Brain Age, which took 2nd and 10th, respectively. Numero dos behind Madden '07 is a pretty big deal, and surely not all of the people who bought New Super Mario Bros. would consider themselves Nintendo fanfolk, and that's almost certainly true of Brain Age, as well. The DS may not be recognized as the top system in the U.S., but we're still in your lists, stealin' your slots. And, of course, that money.

Free Ground Shipping to domestic customers in US for orders over $250. Discount applied automatically at checkout
One of the biggest buzzes right now in the fashion industry is V Magazine's Size Issue. V Magazine is probably the first major mainstream magazine to take on doing fashion forward editorials using plus size models. Although some people have been critical about the sizes of the models used, the reality is it is a HUGE step forward for a major magazine to use plus size models in editorials and I for one am UBER excited for the magazine to come out on January 14th.
V Magazine has been leaking some of the pics from the editorials, the first one featuring plus size supermodel Crystal Renn. I was really happy to see the editorial, but I damn near lost my mind when I saw the latest editorial featuring a variety of plus size models on Christina's blog Musings of a Fatshionista.
Here are some of my fav pics from the editorial…
This is inspiring me to do a naked photo shoot…I'm so serious…
Hey Kasia! Kasia is a major plus size model with Click NYC agency, but she also is a fantastic makeup artist and has done alot of work with us. So happy to see her in such a fabulous photo spread!
From the whole team here at Monif C. and the Clarke Family, I wish you all a Happy New Year!
Here's to an amazing new decade filled with love, health, happiness, prosperity, and FABULOUS FASHION!
Every Christmas we do a small holiday party with our factory, the sewers/pattern makers that make Monif C. go. I've been working with Nancy and Hoosh since I started back in 2005 and wouldn't give them up for the world. I think I would fight somebody if they tried to take these folks away from me. Many of you know that we manufacture the majority of the Monif C. line in the USA, and although it is CRAZY expensive to do, we are committed to it not just because of the US economy, but because you can't get the type of pristine fit and attention to detail anywhere but here in the USA. And also because I consider these folks my friends…Hoosh my pattern maker learned tailoring (he calls it tailoring not pattern making) in Iran when he was 18 yrs old, you know how much experience that is? Truly invaluable, and that's why I always tell customers, the secret to Monif C. is in the fit. You may not see it on the hanger or straight out of the package, but once you put it on your body, instant vavavavoom! And these are the great folks that make it happen.
So enjoy the pics of our traditional Chinese soup bowl dinner…ever had soup bowl? Basically you have a pot full of chicken stock or water, whatever your fancy, and you bring it to a simmer and you put meat, shrimp, chicken, dumplings, and LOTS of vegetables (bok choy, greens, bean sprouts, etc.) in and cook it all together. Then Nancy mixes together Chinese BBQ paste, soy sauce, and cilantro and you pour that concoction over the whole thing. Add in champagne, vodka, gin, and cookies, and you got a party!
I know this picture doesn't make it look appetizing, but it is so damn good
A customer love quickie!
"Angelina" Trench Coat
SOLD OUT: "Charlie" Jumpsuit – Black

Oh, and sir in the elevator, we see you…pick up your lip and stop drooling…Please.and.Thank.you
A few of our customers have been sending in pictures of themselves in Monif C. dresses during holiday festivites, so we wanted to show them some love and post them here. If you've got a pic of you in a fabu Monif C. frock, send it over to monif (at) monifc.com, we'll be sure to post them here!
One of my best customer Samantha from beautiful Puerto Rico rocking a vintage Monif C….I think we did this "Goddess" dress back in 2006, I can't even remember.
Trudi (from Jamaica, this must be the international edition of customer love) in the "Malinda" dress in electric purple which is actually on sale now for $45.70, click here to order! Trudi is the owner of a boutique that sells Monif C. called Kurvity in Kingston, Jamaica, call (876) 631-3737 if you want information on her boutique!
Adhari looks fabu at her bday party in her "Tina" Sequins Dress in Blue!
Keep the pics coming!

Surprising Things A 10-Day Juice Fast Taught Me
You May Also Enjoy
Why Calories Are Important (But Not In The Way You Think)
You've probably heard it before: Do this diet and you'll be thin. Eat this way and you'll be happy. Unfortunately, the process is rarely enjoyable, few people actually remain thin (or happy) and Read
As you probably know by now, a juice fast will do wonders for your health. As my husband and I can attest, we're brighter, sharper, and less burdened after our 10-day fast from solid food, not to mention the fact that we have over 60 delicious juice recipes under our belt.
But what was more fascinating was the change in our spirit. We're undoubtedly more grateful than when we started, but the real change began in our minds. We quickly found that when we were made weak, we were our strongest. Here are just a few of the surprising things this difficult, but rewarding, juice fast taught us:
1. It revealed what controlled me.
Consider the amount of time you spend thinking about food, planning, shopping, organizing, preparing, presenting and eating it. These daily habits occupy a lot of space in our minds without our even stopping to consider it. When you remove the controlling force, practice delayed gratification and open yourself up to new habits, the driving lust behind food loses its charm. What's left? A lot of space to create new, healthy habits.
2. It made me more aware of my thought life.
Have you ever considered the hundreds of thousands of thoughts, both negative and life-giving, that run through your mind each day? Well, when you're hungry little else matters. And I think that's the point. Very quickly — because of your need, or perceived need — the negative seems to fade and gratitude sprouts up in its place. Gradually the little things you may once have overlooked are overwhelmingly obvious for the blessings they truly are.
3. It revealed areas that needed attention.
A juice fast works immediately, detoxifying your body. Within hours we felt the aches and pains and fatigue associated with the natural detox process. It was no different for our minds. Simply put, when you eliminate food, acknowledge your weakness and seek comfort, very quickly you recognize areas that need attention in your life. Quite frankly, you're humbled. Our lack of sleep and deep fatigue was revealed instantly. Our lack of attention to our deeper spiritual hunger was awakened. We also created more intentional time to connect with each other on a deeper level, daring to be more vulnerable, loving and kind in our new marriage.
4. It allowed for time to think, meditate, dream and create.
When you release yourself from your typical schedule, and give your mind, body and soul a much needed inner and outer sabbath through juice fasting, you awaken space to dream and create. Writing, meditating and praying all seem necessary during the fast for sustenance, rather than "something we should do but never get to" when not fasting. Creative projects seem to be given new life, and dreams and hopes for the future seem more tangible. Plus, there's time and space to think through new healthy goals to make your vision for work, family or health a reality.
While a 10-day juice fast may seem daunting, I encourage you welcome this unique tool to rewire your mind and heart. Here's how to get started:
- Consult your doctor before beginning any sort of extended fast.
- Research, gather recipes and invest in a juicer.
- Consider sharing the experience with a partner, friend or coworker for accountability and support.
