NH's first openly transgender lawmaker reconsiders, will now serve

NASHUA - After announcing her intentions of resigning Tuesday, State Rep.-elect Stacie Marie Laughton said Wednesday that she will continue fighting to keep her forthcoming seat.
"I'm reconsidering and I'm seeking the advice of professionals and through social media," said Laughton.
"It's my intention to take the office that I was elected to," she said this afternoon.
Laughton said her final decision will be based on the finding of the Attorney General's Office, which is reviewing the wordage in the law that states whether convicted felons are eligible to run for office.
Earlier story follows:
NASHUA — Following a storm of controversy in light of her criminal background, the first openly transgendered person elected to the New Hampshire House will resign her post.
"I didn't want to have to do this," Rep.-elect Stacie Marie Laughton, D-Nashua, said. "There's been a lot of people that have said, 'Stay strong, keep your head up, stay in it.'"
"I'm super disappointed because I was looking forward to this more than anything. It's my lifelong dream to serve my community, and what better place to do it than the city that I was born and raised in."
Laughton, 28, was elected with two fellow Democrats last month to represent Nashua's Ward 4 in Concord. She said she made the decision to resign Tuesday after being contacted by state Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley, who urged her to consider her options given potential challenges to her candidacy.
"No one actually asked me to resign, but they were asking me to seriously consider all of the different things that have been presented to me ... and they urged me to make a final decision sooner rather than later."
2008 conviction
In 2008, Laughton was convicted of credit-card fraud, falsifying evidence and identity fraud. Then a male, he accepted a plea bargain that sent him to jail for 4 1/2 months. Laughton completed parole in November 2010, but the sentence also requires 10 years of good behavior, throwing into question whether she is now legally eligible to run.
She also owes about $1,816 on an original restitution bill of $1,992, a bill she has been paying regularly since 2008, Corrections Department spokesman Jeff Lyons said.
According to state law, a person sentenced for a felony, for the period between sentencing and "final discharge," may not vote or run for public office. Nashua City Clerk Paul Bergeron said in most states "final discharge" means completion of imprisonment, probation, or parole.
"Under that definition, Stacie would be eligible to be a candidate for, or to hold public office," said Bergeron, himself a former state representative. "Whether that definition applies here in New Hampshire I don't know."
But Bergeron said Laughton dropped out before a ruling was made by the Attorney General's Office. "I suggested to her that ultimately it's your decision whether or not you want to resign at that time, but I let her know that the AG's office was researching what the term meant."
Law is not clear
Assistant Attorney General Mike Brown said Tuesday that Laughton's eligibility to run and serve in public office is under review, and he must review all the sentencing documents.
He said the law is not as clear as it could be, and it uses language that includes the "final discharge" of the sentence.
"There is a distinction to be drawn between the right to vote and the right to hold office," he said, citing the criminal code. Secretary of State Bill Gardner said election law and a New Hampshire Supreme Court ruling also address the issue of felons and voting.
Gardner said someone cannot register to vote if they have been convicted of a felony and are serving a sentence through probation, parole or imprisonment.
He was uncertain about what impact a suspended sentence would have on the ability to register. And he said registration forms do not ask potential voters if they are serving a felony sentence.
Veteran state Rep. Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, said nothing in House rules prevents a felon from serving in the House, but the House can vote to unseat members if it feels strongly about an individual.
The law also throws into question Laughton's seat as Ward 4 selectman, which she intends to keep if possible. In cities, selectman is an office that deals with overseeing elections; a special election will likely be called following Laughton's resignation. As selectman, she would oversee that election.
International headlines
Laughton's election drew national and even international headlines. But it took a turn for the worse when the Laconia Daily Sun published details of Laughton's criminal background while she was still living as a male, under her given name Barry Charles Laughton Jr.
Laughton said because of all the negative media attention of the last several days, her decision was less about legality and more about survival.
"For this particular election, after all the negativity, I need to just personally take a step back," she said.
The resignation comes a day after the outgoing House Majority Leader called for Laughton to step down. Laughton didn't reject the idea that top Democrats also wanted her to resign because they didn't want to deal with the political fallout.
"Maybe (Ray Buckley) didn't want to take on too much of a political battle," Laughton said, "and maybe to start off the session with this wasn't the best."
Buckley issued a statement shortly after the announcement, saying he respected Laughton's decision not to be seated in the House.
Asked what her message was to the voters who wanted her to continue fighting, Laughton said: "I tell them not to lose hope. And I'll also say that I'll be back, to stick with me because I'm not done serving the people.
Democratic House Caucus Director Gene Martin was helping Laughton draft her resignation Tuesday afternoon, to be formally sent to the Secretary of State's Office.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE19 May 2008
Greenville resident arrested on tax charges
A Greenville County warehouse employee was jailed today following his arrest for the second time in three years on state tax evasion charges.
South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators charged Clarence N. Evans, 40, with four counts of tax evasion for tax years 2004 - 2007. He is being held at the Greenville County Detention Center on a $20,000 surety bond. Evans was arrested in May 2005 on similar charges.
In the latest charges, Evans is accused of filing fraudulent W-4 withholding forms with his employer to avoid having taxes withheld from his wages. His tax liability for the period charged is $5,203.
Evans was charged with three counts of state tax evasion in 2005 when he was employed by a Mauldin-based warehouse. He pled guilty to tax evasion and is currently on probation for the previous charges.
Evans is facing up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $40,000 if convicted of the latest charges. The Greenville County Sheriff's Office assisted in Evans' arrest.

Pictures of things that make me drool
24 comments:
a robins egg blue dining set sounds heavenly. this place is making me want to take the long trip to utah!!! such gorgeous colorful stuffReplyDelete
Love your pictures...you do have a knack for color and placement..which shows in your quilts also.ReplyDelete
I wish I lived in Linden, Utah, just to visit that store! And if they'll trade mediocre pictures (which I doubt they're mediocre), then ask if they'll trade boring fabric which I bought before I knew any better for those marvelous candelsticks! And great job with your photographing!ReplyDelete
Amy, your photos are gorgeous!ReplyDelete
BTW-I would love to move into that store!
Enjoy your day & thanks for sharing.
Aperture? I took a photography class years ago, but of course that information is long gone.ReplyDelete
As I remember, it didn't make much sense to me even then. (Something about F-stops?, the iris of your eyes, and how much light the lens lets in).
What a great store. I'll have to check it out next time I'm up North.
I love these! I took a photography class earlier in the year and it made such a difference for me. I really like the picture of the multi-colored chair all hung up. I need more color in my house too.ReplyDelete
Ooh, I love all those hanging chairs! I know - more color in the home is my everlasting quest in life. Maybe someday, when we aren't renting and can paint the walls.......ReplyDelete
What fun Amy! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I love your pictures!ReplyDelete
I think I'm just about desperate enough to start watching the DVD that came with my camera.
Love these photos...and the furniture shop...another to add to my list of places to visit when I get up there this summer!ReplyDelete
What a really great idea to have a photography class in a furniture store! Lovely stuff too...I'd better wipe the drool off my keyboard...ReplyDelete
Love all those different chairs and in the different colors!!!! I want that in my house!!!! Like 6 totally different chairs. LOVE!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures! Nothing mediocre about them :) I especially love the one of the chairs all hung in a row.ReplyDelete
Tell them you'll give them the pics and continue giving them free advertising and perhaps they'll give you the dining set? Hehe :)
That store, and your photos, looks fabulous!!! I am coming to Am Fork in July so I will have to make sure to visit the store! And then pop over to the Purple Turtle ;)ReplyDelete
I want that red bed frame. Funny, I was just looking through your archives to find the snippets hexagon quilt you made last year (I just google searched the blog for "yellow" and it came up) so now I'm drooling over the thought of one of those quilts on this bed. Slobber!ReplyDelete
Now I know where I'll be visiting my next venture up north. Wonderful pictures. You've got some mad skills...:)ReplyDelete
Your pictures look great! I live right near there!ReplyDelete
So fun to chat at dinner with you Thursday night.
Beautiful pictures. The last is my favorite. I'm still having trouble having something sharply in focus with the background all blurry, and I love those kinds of pictures! What a great place to shop!ReplyDelete
I want that pillow with the circles on it! I need to visit that store!ReplyDelete
I'd love a room FULL of color ~ but not sure enough how to pull it off. Took a photo class many many years ago and really enjoyed it.ReplyDelete
Photos look good.ReplyDelete
What a fun store. I didn't know it existed.ReplyDelete
I LOVE this store! They have a catalog of stuff not in the store that will knock your socks off. IN particular a round dining room table that seats six and expands to seat 12 or 14 or something. You know ,because I might need that one day. Your pics look great!ReplyDelete
Long ago I worked in the photo dept. Here's how I explained aperture...think about how your eyes work...at night, they dilate (get bigger, like f/1.8) to take in as much light as possible, and you can't see as well. In the bright sun, your pupils constrict (get smaller, like f/16) and you can see better. Our brains don't really let us see depth of field, but in a photo, when we use a wide opening, very little other than the point we focused the lens on is sharp. When we use a small opening, more is in focus in front of and behind the point we focused on--more depth. You can then use that creatively to either blur out unwanted info in the scene or create a very sharp front to back image.ReplyDelete
Hope that helps! And I'll take two cream colored chairs and of those teal ones!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.

Autoblog First Drive: 2009 Acura TL [w/VIDEO]

Beginning in February at the Chicago Auto Show, Acura began rolling out redesigned versions of its three sedans in the span of six months. Beginning with the RL in Chicago, Acura has rolled out its new design ethos intended to make these cars stand out in the increasingly crowded entry luxury segment. When we first showed you the RL, it got what would charitably be described as a negative reception. The new shield grille design was almost universally reviled both in the media and amongst you readers. By the time the entry-level TSX arrived a month later, reactions softened somewhat as...

Illustration by Diane Pierce
The bright red male northern cardinal, with its conspicuous crest, is one of the most recognizable birds in North America. It is found abundantly through virtually all of the eastern United States in a variety of habitats, including suburban gardens. Although the cardinal can be secretive and remain hidden in thickets, males usually sing from exposed perches. The species is commonly attracted to feeders and open areas with birdseed. Its thick, reddish cone-shaped bill is specialized for cracking seeds. Polytypic. Length 8.8" (22 cm).
Identification Sexually dimorphic. Adult male: plumage unmistakable. Males are uniquely colored, with a bright red body, a black face, and an obvious, pointed crest. Adult female: females are similarly shaped, but are buffy brown in coloration, with a reddish tinge on wings, tail, and crest. Juvenile male: similar to adult female, but it is generally browner overall and has a bill with less reddish coloration. Juvenile female: lacks reddish tones in wings and tail.
Geographic Variation Four subspecies described north of Mexican border. Size and coloration varies clinally from east to west, with the eastern birds (cardinalis) being smaller, shorter crested, and duller red than the western birds (superbus). The other 2 subspecies, canicaudus and magnirostris, are more intermediate.
Similar Species In the East, the northern cardinal is not really confused with any other species. Note that the adult male summer tanager is also bright red, but it lacks both the crest and the black face. In the Southwest, the northern cardinal overlaps with the very similarly shaped pyrrhuloxia, but note their color differences. Female and immature pyrrhuloxias are very similar to female and immature cardinals. The pyrrhuloxia has a noticeably yellow bill that has a distinct downward curve to the culmen, whereas the cardinal has a distinctly straighter culmen as well as a pointier, reddish bill. The plumage of the female pyrrhuloxia is grayer and does not have red tones.
Voice Call: a sharp, somewhat metallic chip. Song: variable. A liquid, whistling cue cue cue, or cheer cheer cheer, or purty purty purty. Both sexes sing virtually all year, though females sing less frequently than the males do.
Status and Distribution Very common. Breeding: throughout the East, found in a variety of habitats, including woodland edges, swamps, streamside thickets, and suburban gardens. In the West, restricted mainly to southwestern Texas, southern New Mexico, and southern Arizona, where it is common in mesquite-dominated habitats, usually near water. Very rare along the Colorado River in southern California. Generally nonmigratory.
Population Cardinals generally expanded their range northward in the 20th century.

BALTIMORE (AP) - A development group plans to build a boutique hotel in Baltimore's Mount Vernon neighborhood that could become the city's priciest hotel.
The Baltimore Sun ( http://bsun.md/Z1HSqs) reports Mt. Vernon Mansion LLC plans to build the $16 million project called The Ivy at the former Inn at Government House. The city operated the three-building complex as an inn for more than 20 years. It has since closed.
The group bought the property in June for $750,000. They plan to make upgrades, adding a restaurant, bar, private garden and meeting space. It would have 18 high-end guest rooms ranging from $350 to $1,500 a night.
Skeptics say the property may be planning to charge too much. It's within blocks of a jail, homeless shelter and soup kitchen.
Neighborhood leaders support the project.

NUXE Moisturizers: All Skin Types : 60 To 79.99
NUXE Moisturizers
The oil and moisture content of your skin is directly related to most common skin care problems. Dry skin occurs when your skin fails to produce enough natural sebum to keep the tissue lubricated, while combination skin involves the uneven distribution of sebum across your complexion, creating patches of oily skin and dryness. Problems of excessive shine and acne are caused by having too much oil on your face, and fine lines develop quickly in aging skin without proper hydration. All skin types need moisturizing, but the key to battling skin problems is using a moisturizer that is suited for your unique skin care concerns. The NUXE Moisturizers collection offer a wide range of products with one perfectly suited to all skin types.
The products in the NUXE Moisturizers collection use natural ingredients to add just the right amount of moisture for your skin.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Strategic and collaborative mental health treatments can mean the difference between success and continued illness. And Colorado West Mental Health, a nonprofit based in Grand Junction with services spanning 10 counties, is both growing its care continuum and re-branding.
Colorado West CEO and President Sharon Raggio, who came on board in 2008, "has completely transformed the organization fiscally, operationally and clinically," Colorado West Marketing Director Chriss Flynn said.
One example of transformation focuses on how well Colorado West Hospital (an in-patient psychiatric hospital in Grand Junction) has fared in recent state audits of its facility and services. Raggio said within the past few weeks three sets of auditors (who arrived unannounced) evaluated all aspects of the hospital over seven days with very positive results.
"All three audits said we were really doing a great job," Raggio said. "Of course, there are always a few areas to improve on, but there were no deficiencies. ... I am so proud of the hospital."
Similar audits conducted in 2008 left room for improvement, she added.
With continued growth and lots of recent success, Colorado West's board of directors is currently exploring how to change the face of the nonprofit even further by re-branding the organization.
Any changes would likely take effect in July 2014, and a new name for the for Colorado West organization as a whole could be part of the effort.
"We are a different organization today," Raggio said. "We want to dissipate any old thoughts of Colorado West, and we're in the process of looking at how we can do that."
In Grand Junction alone, Colorado West has a psychiatric hospital, a detox facility, a Women's Recovery Center, plus a variety of outpatient services spanning numerous needs and intensity of therapies. Across the state, it has offices all the way to Eisenhower Tunnel, north to the border, and across the Western Slope.
"We saw 14,500 people across all of our programs in (the 2012 fiscal year)," Raggio said.
One unique treatment option - Colorado West's Grand Junction Women's Recovery Center - allows pregnant women and mothers with children to stay as a family while the women recover from addiction issues. It's only one of two like that in the state.
Plus, Grand Junction's psychiatric hospital serves a large population, not just people living in Mesa County.
"Without the hospital, patients (throughout Colorado) would have to go to Salt Lake or the Front Range," Raggio said.
Another interesting fact: Mesa County's detox center is Colorado West's largest facility of its kind (it has three other locations, too, in Frisco, Steamboat Springs and Vail/Eagle County). Grand Junction's detox center has 16 beds, and it treats both men and women.
The local detox center treats a high volume of Grand Valley residents each year, officials said. In 2011, GJ's detox facility served 697 unduplicated clients and, in 2012, the most recent number reported is 657. Alcohol intoxication is the most common ailment treated locally, with alcohol dependence coming in second. Detox centers also treat for addictions to stimulants, opiates and sedatives. This was reported in a detailed funding request sent to the City of Grand Junction recently, which was approved to the tune of $30,000.
"City Council decided to provide funding to Colorado West Mental Health in 2013 due to the importance of the service they provide," Mayor Bill Pitts said. "They do something that no other organization does, and our public-safety employees rely on them as a key player when dealing with mental health and substance abuse issues."
Mental-health services aren't simply directed at adults, either.
"There is a national shortage of child psychiatrists, but we do have a number on staff, as well as one of the few geriatric psychiatrists in the state," Flynn said." And yes, we serve children and adolescents at both hospital and outpatient offices."
Colorado West's scope of services has additionally grown over the years.
"We treat the whole person," Raggio said, using evidence-based practices. And clinicians and therapists work hard to "engage and motivate patients to say in treatment because it works."
So many improvements, in fact, have made Colorado West's mental health treatment plans some of the top rated in the state, Raggio added. And, by connecting the "head to the body" with integrative care and evidence-based practices, patients are seeing a high recovery rate throughout Colorado.
According to Flynn, Colorado West started in 1972 as a variety of offices loosely banded together to provide mental health services for Colorado residents. And before Raggio came on, the organization was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. But in the years since 2008, Colorado West has become both fiscally sound and innovative in its treatment options.
The budget has grown over the years, too, as services have been added.
Raggio noted that Colorado West's overall budget has reached $27 million (including regional offices and the hospital) and it employs about 400 people. In Mesa County, 7,600 people were seen in Colorado West's outpatient and residential services offered through its mental health center.
"This included outpatient mental health and substance abuse, detox, (the) women's recovery center, vocational services, crisis services (24/7 response) and Oasis Clubhouse," Raggio said.
The budget for all Mesa County services (not including the hospital) is $8.4 million and 90 staff members work in the area. The hospital's budget is $9.5 million and has 110 staff serving 1,050 people during the 2012 fiscal year.
To fund its operations, the large nonprofit must reach out to a variety of entities, Flynn said. "We receive federal and state contract dollars, grants, and we rely on the generosity of donors. A true development director was also brought on recently."

AUM… In our last 24 hours on the planet we are all mystics. At that time, it's just a matter of whether you are a happy mystic or a sad mystic. If you have no vocabulary for the changes at that time, you will feel/be lost. If you have no mystical experience with which to relate — you will be swept along by the winds of (your) fate. Time to close your eyes to this world. It is time to meditate on your spiritual rebirth. Look for the Sagittarius New Moon around moonset on Moonday, and "see" what your dreams are worth. AUM…

The new Aquarian-Age astrology is/will be ruled by the planet Uranus (yeah, I've heard that joke before). Traditional astrology, prior to the Uranian "discovery" in 1750, was ruled by Saturn, and was more of a study of chronology, helping to determine a more harmonious way of working through nature's cycles. The new Uranian astrology is/will be believed to be a path — and tool — toward forming a more creative psychological outlook. The next 4 months afford opportunities for some of the best usage of astrological info; from Scorpio (the sign ruling enchantment and the mysteries of life and death), through Aquarius (the sign ruling the unusual, the unexpected, the eccentric, the bizarre and any occult advantage).

Welcome to the sign of Scorpio, where we study the fruit of our meditations on the regenerating mysteries of life and death. My departed mother came to me under this very pomegranate tree, and presented me with the apples of her experience. In a strong voice, she answered my questions concerning life and death. She said, "You are guided, my son," reminding me that even though I feel like everyone's father, I'm also everyone's child. And then she said, "When death is nothing, nothing is nothing.

ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN BORDER, ISRAEL - NOVEMBER 16: (ISRAEL OUT) An Israeli soldier looks out from a jeep during the patrol next to the Israeli-Palestinian border as some 16,000 reserve troops are drafted in, on November 16, 2012 in Israel. Conflict between the Israeli military and Palestine militants has intensified over the last few days, with Israel striking some 130 targets overnight. According to reports, 18 Palestians and three Israelis have been killed. Egypt's prime minister Hisham Qandil is due to make a brief visit to Gaza today and Israel have vowed to suspend fire for the duration of his visit, provided there's no cross border attacks from militants.

Nov. 29, 2014

Apr. 27, 2014

MORE

MORE
Apr. 25, 2014

MORE
Mar. 28, 2014
Ruling allowing Northwestern University football players to unionize highlights growing battle over how much college players should share in billions of dollars they generate for their schools and National Collegiate Athletic Association; college athletics, however, hardly resemble free market and, unlike private enterprises, sports departments at big schools do not have to be profitable in any strict sense. MORE
Mar. 28, 2014
Editorial contends football players at colleges like Northwestern University devote more time to football than many full-time employees devote to their jobs; welcomes ruling by National Labor Relations Board that Northwestern players are eligible to form a union. MORE
Mar. 28, 2014
Juliet Macur Sports of The Times column; ruling that Northwestern football players have won the right to be considered university employees could forever change the landscape of college sports; ruling, if upheld, would allow players to form a union, to win more rights and protections--perhaps even paychecks--in return for their contributions to the business of college sports; NCAA is likely to fight ruling if it is not overturned. MORE
Mar. 27, 2014
Peter Ohr, regional director of the National Labor Relations Board, rules that group of football players at Northwestern are employees of the university and have the right to form a union and bargain collectively; ruling could give momentum to push for college athletes to be compensated at a time when the NCAA and its largest conferences are generating billions of dollars, primarily from football and men's basketball.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sophia This product has great features I really enjoy this great item. My friends are buying after they saw. hahaha December 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wendy74 Chanel with a modern twist I fell in love with this bag when I first saw it on TB site. I thought its very Channel with a modern twist and it costs only 10% of a Chanel. Then I saw a reserved one in black in store and confirmed that i want to own it but I wanted the Navy color which the store didn't have. I ordered online during the friends and family event and had to send back the first two for different issues - the logo on the first one was slightly tilted (I have a very sharp eye and I am a perfectionist), the second one has some scraps right on the front flap which resulted some small patch of discoloration. Had i not gotten a great price on it I would have giving up on this bag but I thought its worth a 3rd try. I am so glad I did. This one is perfect. The leather is soft. Tory really does Navy right the color is beautiful - not too dark it might as well be black but its dark enough to go with an outfit that calls for a black shoulder bag and modernize the whole look with the blue hue. Its roomy enough for my everyday stuff yet classy enough to go on a date with. October 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MDawn Satisfied Customer The bag is smart and elegant, I'm delighted with it. I find it very easy to find what I'm looking for with ease, it has enough compartments and is a featherweight compared to other bags I own. I recommend the bag. October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Effie delicately made this is a very nice handbag. the pattern is somewhat modern and classic. the leather is extremely soft and smooth. the whole style of the bag is one of its kind. October 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lewk Fun & Classic I love this purse. The size is perfect not too small and not too big , you can fit a full size wallet if you like. The blue color is nice and rich. October 20, 2013
