Since Sept. 11, 2001, an ongoing debate has been waging about the role of Muslims in the U.S. A prominent voice in this debate has been Arsalan Iftikhar, the legal director of the Council of American Islamic Relations, the largest Muslim advocacy group in the country.
Iftikhar spoke to a group of about 30 people in MU's Ellis Auditorium on Friday afternoon about the future of Muslims in the West.
"The 8 million Muslims in the U.S. faced a new duality after Sept. 11," Iftikhar said. "Not only was our country attacked, but our faith, our way of life and our standing in the U.S. were also attacked."
According to an FBI report released in 2002, hate crimes against Muslims in 2001 increased by 1,600 percent from the previous year. Muslims, Iftikhar said, have been under "a cloud of suspicion."
The passing of the Patriot Act on Sept. 15, 2001, only helped to foster a presumption of guilt toward the Muslim community, Iftikhar said.
"There is definitely a personal feeling of paranoia or being watched by the government," said Nabihah Maqbool, an MU student who attended the speech. "You can't feel comfortable to practice free speech."
The Patriot Act, which was renewed in 2006, eases restrictions on law enforcement's usage of surveillance and allows agencies to obtain financial records, library records and e-mails of private citizens without a grand jury subpoena. It also broadens the definition of domestic terrorism.
"These policies have a residual effect on all Americans," Iftikhar said. "The U.S.A. Patriot Act doesn't just affect brown people, it affects all of us."
Lynsea Garrison, an MU student who attended the lecture, said she agrees.
"The Patriot Act is an invasion of First Amendment rights," Garrison said. "It is an intrusive tool that normalizes and excuses racial profiling."
Iftikhar referenced a USA Today/Gallup poll of 1,007 Americans that found 58 percent of those surveyed had never met a Muslim and if they had, they did not know it. It also found that 22 percent of those surveyed did not want Muslims as neighbors.
"The integral issue is further integrating Muslims in their respective societies," Iftikhar said, "On a local level, people need to demystify Muslims and Islam."
The issues Muslims are facing now, Iftikhar said, are "the next page of a long chapter of civil rights movements our country has gone through."
On a local level, Iftikhar said he encourages people to inform themselves on the issues and get involved.
"It's a struggle and people need to work hard to promote this dialogue," said Omar Waheed, the President of MU's Muslim Student Organization.
"The future of America is intertwined with everyone in it."
Garrison said she feels the problem often is that people are apathetic and don't take the time to educate themselves.
"People don't care and that fosters misunderstanding and racism," she said. "Soon America will have another target group, and so my hope from this is that we rise above acts of blatant prejudice so when that happens again another minority demographic doesn't fall victim to this cycle."

A slight detour in the road.
July 2009
Posts: 42
I first need to set the stage of what was going on before I was hospitalized two weeks ago. Since last Dec. I have had two colonoscopies, carpel tunnel surgery, I broke a tooth that abscessed and cause a nasty sinus infection, had to have that tooth removed because the antibiotics were not keeping the infection in check, started the implant process, How I am going to pay for the implant I do not know. My mom in law's CHF turned terminal, it was her wish to stay at home, and we complied. It took a heavy toll on my SO, the family, and myself. We both got rundown and my SO caught the Swine flue. Yes it was confirmed and it sent the family to their respective G.P's and we all ended up on prophylactic Tamiflu. It did its job and kept contained the swine flue to my SO. Mom passed quietly at home one morning, with most of her family there. Then all the funeral stuff and such.
I am a self-employed dirt man/landscaper. So then here in the Northeast the rain hit. I have not been able to get many billable hours in since the end of April. It has been financially devastating and one of the most stressful periods in my life. Little did I know any of this would happen back last February/March when I started my Aneros journey.
Because I was not eating right and rundown already, the Tamiflu took a heavy toll on my GI system. Left me severely constipated. I had been eating better and increasing my fiber and probiotics intake and was staring to feel better. Then it hit. In less than 24 hours I went from thinking I was constipated again to the ER and a four-day hospital stay, because I could not stand the pain and was passing blood. Well the docs think I picked a specific type of bacterial infection from the soggy dirt I was trying to work in. I feel that the Tamiflu greatly irritated my colon and that irritation let the bacteria take hold and flourish. I am expected to have a complete recovery and only expect a few more tests and another colonoscopy. And yes I did discuss my Aneros use with my GI Doc. He felt that it had no effect on the infection because I had not had a session for about ten days before the attack. He recommends that I not indulge until I am further down the healing trail and that I will comply with. I have not included the Migraines, kidney stones, and now a cystic ovary my SO has gone threw at the same time. Yes she will need laparoscopic surgery in the near future.
Now the good news. Even though we were both feeling like we were getting dumped on last week. We both now are counting our blessings and looking forward to seeing what is in store for us next. Our overall health is good and neither of us has cancer. Her surgery will be relatively minor; it could have been much more involved if her Lymphatic system was involved.
Looking back it is no wonder that I was having a little trouble making progress along my Journey. Fortunately I had taken the advice you all have given me and was being patient, trying to find my way along the rewiring path and not copying what had been successful for someone else. Again looking back I think that those times I spent breathing and relaxing probably has had a positive effect not only with my journey but more importantly my mental health.
The pleasure I was feeling and the sense that great pleasure is in my near future was/is very encouraging. Thinking back, I am convinced that I was getting an endorphin rush from the pleasures I was feeling. The reason that I believe this is. That in the early hospital stay and when the medically necessary pain meds wore off, I was feeling sensations very similar to when I have my MGX in place. At the time the only thought I had was that I was one sick SOB for feeling those sensations. Now reflecting back I honestly believe my own mind and body were trying release those endorphins it has learned to enjoy to give my mind a break from the pain. I have not been able to get my mind completely around that concept yet and am looking forward to all of your thought.
What wonderful device My Aneros MGX is. Trust me it is no toy; it truly is a medical device. If I am right think of the possibilities. P.S. I am dyslexic and my spell checker doesn't recognize medical terms. For the sake of clarity Support has my permission to fix the misspelling. Thank you all.

Hi Cherney
I have no comment on the endorphin release with Aneros use. But just want you to know that my heart is with you. You seem to have had a very hard time but have pulled through stronger on the other end. I truly hope you and your SO's situation improves and you only have prosperity and health in front of you.

You have had an extremely bad run of luck of late, with bad news after bad news, fortunately like all things in nature the cycle swings back around and you are now destined to start experiencing some good news, but it all depends upon your attitude and ability to see the good news when it presents itself. I think you are doing exactly that!
A while back there was a discussion
For those suffering from depression:
wherein Aneros practice was considered by many (myself included) to be a good choice for reducing depression. We already knew that Aneros use was good for reducing hemorrhoids and promoting a healthier prostate.
I think there may be some validity to your theory that Aneros use may also induce production of endorphins which are known analgesics as well. It may be this is only a placebo effect, but it is now proven that even placebos can trigger the brain into the production of hormones and other compounds which help strengthen the body's healing powers.
I sincerely hope your medical issues soon become a distant memory and your path is smoother going forward into the future for both you and your SO.

Hi churney
Very sorry to hear of your multiple misfortunes and your SO's mother's death. These energies that we are working with here are connected to everything, and IMHO and experience, personal and knowing others, these sensitivities may, and for some at times, can and do have the effects you describe. I have had to find this route for personal pain control and utilize it for decades, and would not be the person I am, or independently functional, if this did not work.
I wish you and your extended family all the best possible as you both heal positively through these events.
fundamental joy in life wherever we are in our journeys all

Wall Street Executive, Former Faculty Member to Head Business School
Kenneth B. Dunn, managing director of Morgan Stanley Investment Management and former Carnegie Mellon faculty member, has been named dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration (GSIA), effective July 1, 2002.
Kenneth Dunn will replace Douglas M. Dunn, who announced his retirement last spring. Douglas Dunn, whose tenure has focused on faculty hiring and support, extending global partnerships, the intro-duction of the nation's first graduate degree in electronic commerce and key capital improvements for the larger GSIA community, has served as dean of the business school since 1996.
Although Kenneth Dunn will not officially begin his new role until next summer, he said he would initiate strategic planning activities and transition management plans, including regular campus meetings with faculty, students, staff, alumni and other constituents, beginning this January.
Kenneth Dunn, 49, has spent the past 14 years building a strong mortgage group and managing about $50 billion in core fixed assets at Morgan Stanley, where he logged one of the best records of any mortgage manager in the country. At various times, he also managed the firm's fixed income trading, technology and insurance groups.
"We are pleased to bring on board a person of such accomplishment in business research and education, as well as in the areas of finance and management," said President Jared L. Cohon. "This appointment is even more significant given Ken's prior association with the business school and his personal commitment to the university.
"We will look to Ken Dunn to continue ‹and enhance‹the growth in GSIA programs, outreach and positioning in the higher education and business communities."
Dunn joined the Carnegie Mellon faculty in 1979 as an assistant professor of industrial administration. In 1982, he received the GSIA Excellence in Teaching Award and in 1987 became a tenured professor of finance and economics.
While at Carnegie Mellon, Dunn participated in several collaborative projects, including work that produced the "Sinking Fund Game," which applied game theory to the pricing of bonds in a way that had not been explored before.
Dunn took a leave of absence from Carnegie Mellon in 1988-89 to become a fixed income portfolio manager specializing in mortgage-backed securities at Miller Anderson & Sherrerd. In 1989, he left the university to become a partner at Miller Anderson, which was later acquired by Morgan Stanley Asset Management. Most recently, Dunn was co-head of Morgan Stanley's U.S. Core Fixed Income and Mortgage teams.
"This is a great appointment by the university because Ken combines a distinguished academic career with demonstrated business accomplishment," said Frank A. Risch (GSIA '66), vice president and treasurer of Exxon Mobil Corp. "He brings vision and leadership skills that will take GSIA to an even higher level of excellence among the country's top business schools."
GSIA was ranked as having the second-best MBA program in the world by corporate recruiters in a survey by The Wall Street Journal last spring. The schools with the top five rated MBA programs were Dartmouth College, Carnegie Mellon, Yale University, the University of Michigan and Northwestern University.
Dunn was recommended by a national search committee, led by chair Michael Trick, associate professor of operations research at GSIA and president of the university's Carnegie Bosch Institute.
"He has worked his way through all kinds of management situations, learned to attract top people and to think strategically, so his experiences make him a perfect candidate for managing a major business school," Trick said.
Dunn said his goal is "to work with GSIA's outstanding faculty to make GSIA the best business school it can be."
"I want to encourage faculty to work together and to nurture junior faculty as I was nurtured in my early teaching years," Dunn said. He said his experiences at Carnegie Mellon turned a "shy academic into a self-confident successful risk taker" and that he would "like to give something back to the school that gave me so much."
Dunn earned his doctor's degree in industrial administration from Purdue University and his master's and bachelor's degrees in business administration from Ohio State University.

"Held my attention from beginning to end."
This was my first experience with SmartPass and it was very impressive. I'd attempted Shakespeare in the past (I'm long past college...) but the language barrier turned me off. The narration and explanations allowed me to easily follow the story and characters. I would definitely listen to other SmartPass offerings (I already purchased Hamlet) and would highly recommend Macbeth.
Interpretation of 17th century English!
I was shocked at the brutality.

- 250g self-raising flour, sifted with a pinch of salt, plus extra flour

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Line the base and sides of a 20cm/8in square cake tin (not loose-based) with greaseproof paper and butter the paper. Set oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan oven 160C.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light. Gradually beat in the eggs, adding a little flour towards the end to prevent curdling. Beat in the lime zest, then fold in the flour and almonds. Fold in enough lime juice – about 3 tablespoons – to give you a good dropping consistency (the mixture should drop easily from the spoon when tapped).
- Fold in three quarters of the blueberries and raspberries and turn into the prepared tin. Smooth the surface, then scatter the remaining fruit on top – it will sink as the cake rises.
- Bake for about 1 hour (cover with foil if beginning to brown too much), or until firm to a gentle prod in the centre. A skewer pushed into the centre should be clean when removed.
- Meanwhile make the syrup: put the lime juice, zest and sugar in a small saucepan. Put over a gentle heat and stir, without allowing to bubble. The sugar should dissolve a little. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, prick all over with a skewer then spoon the syrup over it. To store, cool before wrapping in paper and/or foil.
- Carefully remove the cake from the tin, discard the lining paper and cut into 12 pieces to serve.

Comments, questions and tips
What a lovely, light moist cake. It is my turn to 'bake & take' a cake to work. I did this last night and just had to try a slice this morning - yummy or what!
I only used 100gr of sugar for the drizzle as I wanted the cake to have a bit of zinginess.
We have one girl at work who thinks she is the new Mary Berry, no one can bake as good as her ... well this cake will demote her to Chuck Berry (lol)
Delicious! Made this for a friend's birthday and got loads of compliments and requests for the recipe. My fruit sunk too so next time I will try dredging in flour as suggested. Also made 1.5x quantity as I didn't have the right sized tin (used 12"x8" roaster) but this turned out well, needed 1hr 20 in the oven.
I made this at the weekend as a practice. I am rubbish at baking and stupidly have agreed to make the boyf a cake. this was my first cake i've made in a long time and it worked really well and tasted really nice. Was a really moist cake. I used frozen mixed berries because they were cheaper. will definitely make again :)

Comments about de-luxe MAISON All-Purpose Concentrate Cleaner, Lavender Spruce, 33 fl oz:
My biggest concern is that products are cruelty-free & do not include any animal-derived ingredients. This concentrated cleanser fits the bill. I prefer this scent to the Lemon Verbena, but both cleaned equally well. I have used both to clean the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. I especially like this fragrance for cleaning the toilets & floors!
Comment on this review

I use this product to clean all surfaces. It has no lingering odor and does a great job.

describe yourself Quality Oriented
Absolutely LOVE THIS STUFF! Supposedly all natural w/ a really fantastic clean scent - more so than Mrs. Murphy's super STINKY products. I've tried both & stick with this brand - even though it's drugstore.com;s own brand, it is very versatile - I use an old spray bottle to make my own solution and whatever strength I need. Just need to be careful by not adding enough water to your solution, as this can leave streaks . . . it is a concentrate after all. A little pricey, but does the trick & in the long run probably makes more cleaning solution that is also cost efficient - than adding up the cost of buying individual bottles of another brandThis brand product is really great . . . even the soy candles (cucumber/ parsley) are up to par - and again, much better than Mrs. Muphy's stinky stinky products with a big price tag ;-)
Dilute with warm water in bucket and clean surface with mop, sponge or cloth. Also can be used as a refill for our spray cleaner. For light cleaning use 1 part concentrate to 10 parts water dilution. Use a 1 to 4 dilution for medium cleaning. For heavy cleaning use a 1 to 1 dilution.
Recommended for nonporous surfaces such as countertops, floors, walls, appliances, fixtures, tile, laminate, sealed wood and sealed stone.

Wise Quotes, Wisdom Sayings - Page 12
Besides education, knowledge or life experience, all wise men possess a high degree of spiritual and emotional intelligence.
– Dr T.P.Chia
A truly wise man has the ability to see and understand what many do not see and understand, and to arrive at the most appropriate and right judgment sensibly and farsightedly.
– Dr T.P.Chia
A man's wisdom enables him to see and understand what is right and true, what is desirable and undesirable, as well as to think and judge intelligently and wisely.
– Dr T.P.Chia
If you really want something, you'll find a way. If you don't you'll find an excuse.
Don't tell the world what you can show it.
Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can be only forgiven, not forgotten.
Think from heart and act from brain.
I know you don't understand life! Just eat a balanced diet, have plenty of exercise, avoid stress and always have reverence for God. In that way you will live it and you will be successful anyway.
To be smart is to avoid negative thoughts, behaviors and habits.
– Dr T.P.Chia
In the past you could become wise
And as you grew older philosophize.
Today you can merely grow in size,
Listen, watch and globalize.
Good deeds have a ripple effect. If you do one good thing it will ripple out so many other good things.
The best of speech is that characterized by brevity and sagacity.
(Translated from an Arabic saying)
If it's not broken, don't fix it!
It does not matter the value of the coat on a man, but the man inside the coat.
To be wise is to do more thinking and less talking.
– Dr T.P.Chia
Always reply a 'slap' within a 5 seconds interval timing, because after that it'll be called 'assault'.
In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet.Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it's worth it.
A punishment or a penalty for your crime or mistake, makes it memorable,which not only prevents you from repeating it again in future but also reminds you the lesson learnt from it.
The logical always triumph the physical.
It takes courage to make people around you happy even if it seems they don't deserve it.
Just walk straight ahead and never look back.
Fortitude is fortune.
Solitude is the most fertile land that yields the bumper crop of mind's creativity.
If you hate the touch of monkey tail, don't go to their dance.
When time for a monkey to die comes, every tree becomes slippery.
No matter how advanced a machine is, there's a brain behind it's creator. You do have a brain, don't you?

My copy is in the post office.
Off to pick it up tomorrow
I don't have a Wii anymore. I was stationed here in Washington so when I moved I left it back home for my little brother to play. But soon after Skyward Sword comes out Ill be buying a new one so I can play the game I waited a long time for.
It comes out Sunday and I just called the company I sent my Wii to and they haven't started on the repairs yet because they don't have the parts they need to fix it. This is going to be a long week
The question you're asking is way too broad. If you intended to attract a smaller response, you should have asked "Who ISN'T going to get Skyward Sword?"
Oh god I came back after a couple years for kicks and I have no idea what's going on now.

Kandi Burruss Has Off-Broadway Debut in New York — How Did It Go?
Big kudos are in order for Miss Kandi Burruss! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently made her big debut on a New York stage, in the Off-Broadway production of Newsical the Musical on January 13. Kandi proudly took to her Instagram to share her relief over conquering the Big Apple. "I got thru my first night on a New York stage! I was so happy to see my friend/lawyer @dougdavis. I'm finally in your city Doug!" she wrote, next to a photo of her and the friend she mentioned in the post. We have to add that Kandi looks drop dead gorgeous, with her soft-waves, dark hair, vibrant red lipstick, and shiny silver wrap dress. Me-ow! Newsical the Musical is a skit-centered show that is constantly changing up its acts to reflect the current headlines in today's news. The musical parodies everything from celeb happenings to political drama. It sounds like a great fit for Kandi's sense of humor! Kandi only had a brief rehearsal period before officially taking the stage. Naturally, her devoted fiancé, Todd Tucker, was on the first plane out to catch his "babe" in the show. He couldn't be more proud of her and it's so cute! On his way to the theater, he posted, "In NY getting my Uber on!!' Heading to see my babe! @kandiburruss doing her thing In NY!! Off Broadway play!!! #talentedasf—k." Kandi will only be appearing in the Off-Broadway favorite for two weeks, so make sure to get your tickets ASAP if you're in the New York area. You won't want to miss this rare opportunity to see Kandi in action!

Sep 6, 2013I Am Breathing is not a documentary intended to induce sobbing. It is, instead, a film about dying that is stunningly alive, wildly optimistic, and always insightful and entertaining.
The last couple of years in one tragically truncated life are chronicled with a winning combination of sensitivity and humor in I Am Breathing.
Sep 6, 2013An earnest and important film. It deserves to be seen by anyone who is interested in documentaries and anyone who is interested in the simple human stories movies too often overlook.

Canada plans to create new class of visa to attract start-up entrepreneursBy Randall Palmer, Reuters September 13, 2012, 12:02 am TWN OTTAWA--Canada plans to create a new class of visa that it hopes will attract high-tech and other entrepreneurs to immigrate to the country to start new companies, officials said on Tuesday.
It has put a moratorium on issuing its existing entrepreneur visa, which only required an immigrant to hire one person for one year, and intends to initiate a visa that would be issued to people identified by venture capital funds as candidates to create start-up firms in Canada. The venture funds would be required to invest in the start-ups. The start-up visa is one of several changes being undertaken by Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney in what he says is an effort to make the immigration system more responsive to Canada's economic needs. "Canada seeks young, ambitious, innovative immigrants who will contribute to Canada's job growth and further drive our economy," said Kenney's press secretary, Alexis Pavlich. "The start-up visa is an initiative that the government of Canada is exploring to assist in transforming our immigration system into a fast, fair and flexible system that will meet the needs of our economy and help grow our country." Venture investment funds would choose entrepreneurs in whom they would invest, and the government would try to clear them for entry into Canada within weeks. The idea is to unite Canadian money and foreign brains. An initial source of candidates could be frustrated foreigners in the high-tech sector in the United States who have not been able to land resident status there. "This program will link brilliant, job-creating, immigrant entrepreneurs with Canadian investors. We want the world's best and brightest to come to Canada — to start businesses and to create jobs in Canada," Pavlich said.

Oct 3, 2010Specialized Demo 8 I *PRICE DROP*
I have an awesome 2009 Specialized Demo 8 I for sale. This bike is the tits. As Sam and Brendon can testify, the Demo can handle anything you could possibly throw at it. I bought this bike basically brand new and rode it for one season and realized that I am definitely not gnarly enough to own such a dank-nasty shred beast, so now I'm giving it up. I put over $2000 into making this thing the shit's nipples, so here are the specs!
-2009 Specialized Demo I frame (size Medium)
-Fox DHX 4 (500 lbs coil)
-2010 Marzocchi 888 RC3 EVO (Medium spring)
-Sram X-7 drive train
-Avid Code 5 Brakes
-Raceface Atlas FR bars (Gold) *BLING*
-Straightline platform pedals
-Bontrager Earl wheels
-Shimano Ultegra road/ race cassette
-WTB Lazer V saddle
-Maxxis High Rollers F+R (w/ plenty of tread left)
-Holzfeller cranks
-Gamut chainguide
-Cane Creek S-3 headset
The frame does have some paint scuffs and chips from normal riding and shuttling but no dents or cracks. The Brakes have fairly new pads and the fork probably has a total of about 30 hours of riding on it and during that was serviced by marzocchi, so its more plush than the beanie babies you still keep on your pillow. This bike is the complete package, so if you're ready to step your game up to the next level here's the mighty steed that will take you there! So, mount up cowgirl, cause even though it'll be a bumpy ride, this thing will soak it up better then a crate of Sham-Wows. Asking $2400 obo, Prefer local pickup but will ship if buyer pays shipping. Message me with any questions or call me during the afternoon or evening

COLUMBIA — Four years ago, a woman came to the Salvation Army during the Christmas season looking for assistance for her family.
However, the organization's holiday deadline had passed, and she was turned away.
Before the woman could leave, Katrina Mathews appeared and invited her into the office, listened to her story and prayed with her. Then Mathews gathered up toys, clothing and other donations to give the woman.
When other Salvation Army volunteers asked why she agreed to bend the rules, she answered: "What if that was my family?"
This small incident illustrates the generosity and compassion of Katrina Mathews and her husband, Kendall, said Randi Smith, manager of the Salvation Army Thrift Store.
For the past four years, Kendall Mathews has served as the Salvation Army's regional coordinator and his wife has been director of special services for Columbia/Jefferson City. Unofficially, they have been mentors, friends and pastors to their clients, employees and volunteers.
To acknowledge their contributions, friends have organized a farewell open house Thursday at Salvation Army headquarters, 1108 W. Ash St. The event will be held from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
The couple has been transferred to St. Louis as administrators of the Salvation Army's all-male rehabilitation center in the Forest Park area. The Mathews will also oversee seven thrift stores, four more than they run in Columbia.
Their successors are Richard and Beth Trimmell, who are moving to Columbia from Chicago. He was the assistant principal at the Salvation Army College of Officer Training, and his wife worked as the family care center director for the college.
Both couples start their new assignments on June 27.
When the Mathews came to Columbia, the Salvation Army was struggling to be recognized by the community as more than just a thrift store and social service. Four years later, Smith said the couple has put the organization back on the map, getting the message out about the worship services and other programs.
The Mathews hope to make a similar impact as they move into their next assignment. They say they plan to carry on their vision of recycling goods, reclaiming lives and rebuilding families.
In St. Louis, they will be working with men who have alcohol and drug addictions, many with recent histories of incarceration.
Although they know they will not be able to reverse trends in homelessness, despair, crime and other social issues all in a single gulp, they want to do everything they can, even if that means helping one person at a time.
"Ministry is not just about giving someone a cup of cold water. It's about taking time to get to know that person," Kendall Mathews said. "It's relational."
They also want to be advocates, to stand in the breach for the disenfranchised and be a voice for people who need help.
"(My hope is) to be able to bring their families along side of them with their addiction and whatever they are going through," Katrina Mathews said. "I want the client to really see what his addiction has brought to his family."
To have real impact, the Mathews say they need to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all those they help, whether client or employee. Their work is not behind the desk, they say, but out in the field.
"It's about helping people to see the reality of life, may it be sad or despair we try to bring them into reality so they can see the hope," Katrina Mathews said.
Volunteers and staff members say they have been infected with the Mathews' spirit.
"You can see Major K.K. (Kendall) anywhere in Columbia and he will be encouraging someone, somewhere," Smith said. "From smiling at people as he rides on his bike to praying with people in the store, he is always encouraging."
After watching Katrina Mathews' ministry and her positive outlook, Salvation Army volunteer Rita Haralson-Alford, 53, began thinking about what she could do with her life. She is now attending Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly to earn her degree in Christian counseling.
Although both Mathews grew up interested in community service, neither anticipated that they would become Salvation Army officers. Both have the title of major.
Kendall Mathews was raised in Detroit with divorced parents. Although he insists he had a happy childhood, he always felt a sense of brokenness because he could not fix his parents' marriage. That made him interested in social work and counseling, he said.
"I wanted to help provide hope to brokenness, peace to un-peaceful situations, joy where there was grief, despair and sorrow," he said.
He joined the Salvation Army during his junior year of college, working at the organization's camp in Wisconsin. After graduating from Greenville College in Illinois with a bachelor's degree in social work, he moved to the west side of Chicago to be a social worker in the Army's Midwest Corps.
With a mutual friend's encouragement, he met Katrina on a blind date in Chicago.
She had been raised in Chicago in what she calls the heart of the ghetto. Although she grew up in a housing project and was surrounded by poor neighbors, she said she never considered herself poor.
A grandmother, who raised her, always made sure she had enough food to eat and clothes to wear. She never experienced the homelessness and hunger that many of her neighbors endured.
Instead, she said she reached out to those in need and has been involved in community service ever since. She can even remember making grilled cheese sandwiches for the hungry children in her neighborhood after her grandmother left for work.
She knew about the Salvation Army because of its work in her neighborhood. She was never involved in any Army programs, other than attending Sunday school there because her church was too small.
The spiritual side of the organization ultimately drew her into service. When she became an officer in the Salvation Army, she said it seemed to be the life she was supposed to be living.
The couple married in Chicago in 1987, became Salvation Army officers together in 1991 and now have five children. Three adult sons live in Michigan, a daughter graduated from Rock Bridge High School this year and their youngest son will begin his junior year of high school in St. Louis next fall.
The Mathews moved to Columbia from Detroit where Kendall Mathews was the city commander.
They believe their involvement in Columbia and Jefferson City as both parents and citizens has helped stitch them into the community.
Being seen as more than just Salvation Army officers has allowed trust to grow, they said, and it has helped their work. They insist that the community gave them as much as they gave back.
"As we go from here, we have spiritually grown up, we've physically grown up, we've holistically grown up," Kendall Mathews said.
"We have grown in character and in kindness to reach out to people based on our experiences in Columbia and Jefferson City."
The community has shown it is full of servant leaders, Kendall Mathews said.
Volunteers turned out every winter to ring bells for the kettle campaign in bitter weather. Dozens served Thanksgiving dinner at Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken.
Others helped plant gardens at Salvation Army residences. And MU Athletics Director Mike Alden gave the Mathews permission each year to have a kettle cook-off during the last home football game.
"As we think about leaving, we realized we leave a legacy of hope and love and transformation," Katrina Mathews said.
"People's lives have really been changed. I think ours maybe more than theirs."
