'Amazing Raise' to increase charitable giving to local nonprofits
Citizen Staff Reports 09/17/12
The Community Foundation's 'Amazing Raise' will return Thursday with $113,000 up for grabs. The unique online giving event is designed to empower the people of metro Richmond to come together and raise as much money as possible for local nonprofits in just 36 hours. This year, 450 organizations working in areas ranging from arts and education to homelessness and health care are eligible to participate.
The top three organizations with the most unique donations of $50 or more will receive $20,000, $15,000 and $10,000 respectively – doubled from 2011. Grants of $2,500 each will be awarded to "early birds" or the first 15 organizations to reach at least 50 donations of $50 or more. Mini-contests will help spur giving during certain time periods (Sunset Special or Procrastinator's Prize) or to signify certain achievements, such as Most Improved or Long Distance Donor.
Last year, the Amazing Raise generated nearly 6,500 donations and $630,000 in donations and incentive prizes. A total of 270 organizations received at least one donation, with Church Hill Activities and Tutoring taking home the top prize with 382 unique gifts.
The Amazing Raise will begin at 6 a.m. Sept. 19 and continue until 6 p.m. Sept. 20. To donate or to track the donation process in real time, visit http://www.giverichmond.org

Most transparency advocates favor the legislation, but there are worries about several provisions
A House panel has approved a bill that would create a single governmentwide board to set rules for expense reporting and track all federal spending data on a single website modeled after the Recovery.gov site.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee passed the legislation June 22. Sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the committee's chairman, the bill would create a Federal Accountability and Spending Transparency Board, similar to the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board that is charged with finding fraud and waste in economic stimulus law spending.
The bill would also require standardization of spending data by recipients and agencies.
Related story:
Rep. Issa tries oversight on recovery board model
The Obama administration issued an executive order June 13 that seeks to
standardize the reporting of spending data. It contains many features
similar to those in Issa's bill, which was introduced on the same day.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) has introduced companion legislation in the
A group of 10 transparency advocacy groups endorsed both efforts in a letter to the committee, dated June 21.
"President Obama's June 13, 2011, Executive Order has the immediate
effect of creating a Government Accountability and Transparency Board
with the mission of applying the lessons of the [Recovery Accountability
and Transparency Board] to the entire federal government," the letter
states. "These are complementary efforts. The Federal Accountability and
Spending Transparency Board, as envisioned by Chairman Issa and Senator
Warner, will have the opportunity to learn from the report to be issued
by President Obama's Government Accountability and Transparency Board.
Similarly, if enacted, the [legislation] will revolutionize federal
spending transparency by impelling agency compliance and addressing the
thorny but crucial questions of data standardization."
However, several transparency groups are less enthusiastic because
Issa's legislation would expire in seven years unless Congress
reauthorizes it. There are also concerns that the bill would repeal the
Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), which
created USAspending.gov.
Craig Jennings, director of federal fiscal policy at OMB Watch, wrote in a blog entry June 22 that those concerns were strong enough that the organization could not support the legislation.
Although OMB Watch approves of many of the bill's provisions, the
legislation is fatally flawed, Jennings wrote. "By repealing FFATA, the
bill would actually take spending transparency a few steps back because
FFATA contains a number of data elements that are required to be
reported that the [new bill] does not. And unless Congress acts to
reauthorize the bill in 2018, the spending information that appears on
USAspending.gov and all the other spending transparency created by the
[legislation] will disappear."
"We shouldn't have to be reconsidering whether spending transparency is
necessary every seven years or worried that a polarized Congress finding
itself in a legislative stalemate will fail to agree on approving
time-sensitive legislation," Jennings added.

I find nothing in HOWTOs on this and looking at:
I see in the wp-config.php file that the constant "ABSPATH" is being set and I want "RELPATH" instead or to set the "ABSPATH" value to "..", but need to know what is correct way to override the current value settings.
I know I can hard code it but then will always be broken in upcoming upgrades, so need a work around that will keep current with new upgrades.

The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Victoria Frost, Terri Scott, and Jordan Taylor during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward 29 Prime.
The basic business model and vision for 29 Prime is to target small business marketing on the Internet and to help the small business visibility page. Their main product produces Google front page placement for their clients. The company offers social media to their clients, creates pages and content for their business, and makes sure their information is correct such as phone numbers and addresses. 29 Primes target markets are smaller businesses that are not able to spend thousands of dollars per month on Internet marketing. The company states their leads come from referrals of clients and word of mouth. The company feels they are set apart from other companies because they guarantee at least 2 of their 10 key words to be identified on searches within 60 days. Additionally, they send regular reports about how clients accounts are progressing.
The companys sales process is to train sales and customer service staff to create a package that meets the clients needs. 29 Prime feels it is about educating staff as well as clients. They advise their staff get to know clients businesses and find packages to meet their needs. Since business is changing all the time, the company feels keeping up with those changes is something they have to do. They stated they are enhancing service when those changes come about. Their approach is to resolve issues to stay ahead of the game and to grow as a company with everything.
29 Prime feels that some of their common complaints are getting clients names out on the internet even more. Another complaint is finding ways clients can expand their business on the web. The standard practice to resolve customer complaints is using key words that are pertinent to their business and customizing accounts to continue progress with it. One situation where a client was not satisfied with 29 Prime was when a client called and said they were not getting enough traffic. The company states they went over ways to differentiate them from their competition. The client responded by feeling more educated about the process and ways we could improve their business.
Leadership within the company advises employees on a case by case basis. They give employees examples they can follow. They feel their customer service is their eyes and ears. The company works with customer service to push greater traffic to their website. The changes they have made include: a better focus on quality and client education, being thorough, explaining step by step, follow up phone calls to clients and being proactive with solutions.
The changes 29 Prime has made since being a part of Ripoff Report have been moving towards quality on client education. They have educated clients about the benefits of proper keywords, placement and to allowed them to understand ranking reports when they receive them. Implementing keyword lists that explain optimum keywords for their industry has also been a helpful solution. The company stated they also implemented applications such as: I-frame for websites, Twitter and RSS feed for clients industries.
29 Prime is thrilled that they are engaging in the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program that right now. They are glad to be taking positive steps to clear the air and being proactive.

29 Prime OC LIsting, OC Listing LLC, Your Local Merchant, Your Local Merchant Internet (Interstate) Fraud by Wire (Federal Crime-taking money from business checking account without authorization & using different company names.) Irvine, California *EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back into your bank account when someone wrongfully takes it from you!
A rep from 29Prime eluded to being a Google representative. We agreed to a 3 month period of SEO service. After that, other company names withdrew funds fraudulently via wire transfer right from checking account. After self investigation, it was found that the company, 29Prime is NOT at their listed address of 2233 W Balboa, Suite 115, in Newport Beach, California. Apparently they are "enjoined" by a UPS store in the came building complex. However this was not proven. The real estate agent handling that building has never heard of them nor is a suite#115 there.
Police from the Irvine PD accompanied staff to a seemingly working office at 15520 Rockfield Blvd. (Suite 1-100) in Irvine, only to find the door closed at 4:15PM on Jan 30, 2012. Other investigation revealed no suite# at a variety of other addresses in Irvine, California.
Calls to their "main" telephone number are answered secretively and last names of people are never divulged. emails and voice mails go unanswered. Loss is several thousand dolalrs. It was found that 29 Prime IS listed as a business with the Secy of State in Nevada. That will soon be investigated as well.
Reports of possible criminal activity have been made with the FBI in Phoenix, Arizona; the FBI in Santa Ana and Los Angeles, California; the Irvine Police Department and the Newport Beach (CA) Police Department. A law suit is in preparation in Orange County Superior Court in Laguna Beach, California.
Reports from the Cit of Irvine (CA) concerning business licenses of 29 Prime, Your Local Merchant Internet and OC Listing revealed a hodge podge of addresses and non existent names of the companies' person of process.
Another address came into the investigation just today, Feb. 10, 2012 but is has not yet been verified on Jeronimo (not sure if Street, Avenue, etc. as of this writing).
Other authorities that have been notified are the US Postal Inspectors, the Federal Trade Commission, the internet fraud site of the Federal Government among others. We are demanding that all monies be returned.
Of all the names that these people go by, the BBB of Greater Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange County list over 69 complaints lodged against them not including ours. The company semi-communicated with the BBB when they were notified of our complaint. Yet they have not committed to anything and, unfortunately, the BBB is not a legal entity and cannot force them to reply nor refund any stolen monies.
We are determined to get our funds back and put these unscrupulous people out of business as soon as possible.
The FBI has stated that they would look to see if others have been "scammed" as we have. They would build a case. So if you have, you are encouraged to write a letter to or contact the Duty Agent of the FBI office nearest your home or office or, send to the offices that already have record of the crime:
FBI, 901 Civic Center Drive, Suite 330. Santa Ana, CA 92703 8:15AM-5PM (Mailing is Box 1809, Santa Ana, CA 92702) 714 542-8825 or
11000 Wilshire Blvd #17 Los Angeles, CA 90024-3603
310 477-6565
Or the Irvine Police Department, Fraud Crimes
1 Civic Center Plaza Irvine, CA 92606
949 724-6467
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

The rip off report isn't accurate. I'm an owner of a window replacement company and prefer to sell and my guys prefer to install Plygem windows over any other window manufacturer because they do have a great warranty and feature rich design. I've never Plygem deny one of my customer's warranty claims. They have even stretched their own warranty at times.
As for the glass failure and mildew between the panes; I've sold thousands of windows and facilitated 10's of warranty requests and have never seen this happen to a Plygem window. I've never put in a warranty request for a failed glass units on Plygem windows.
The builder might have installed windows without LowE Thermal Glass. Windows with clear glass can have a high rate of failure in any manufacturer's window.

Tom Slingsby has won Australia's second gold medal of the London Olympics with victory in Laser sailing class
- From: The Advertiser
- August 07, 2012
NEW Australian hero Tom Slingsby had considered ditching the Olympics forever if he didn't win gold at Weymouth and Portland.
The 27 year-old Central Coast Laser sailor became Australia's first individual gold medallist at the London Games.
Slingsby was congratuled on Twitter by Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who said "red is the new gold".
"Congratulations Tom Slingsby on gold in London. This is a win for all Aussies and especially for us rangas who think red is the new gold. JG"
"Just spoke to Tom - what a fantastic young Australian who we are all very proud of. JG @AOCOlympicTeam #goaussies"
After blitzing the regatta during the preliminary races before playing cat and mouse with Cypriot rival Pavlos Kontides during the medal race Slingsby said the thought of throwing in the Olympic towel was real.
The failed Beijing 2008 campaign where he was favoured to claim gold only to finish a catastrophic 22nd place had Slingsby on edge for four years.
"If I didn't win at this Olympics I'd definitely hang up the shoes," Slingsby said.
"I mean last time (Beijing 2008) I'd won the worlds, I'd won world cups, the Europeans and everything going into China and the Olympics was the only thing.
"Coming out of that (Olympics) knowing there was a four year wait for a chance at redemption - yeah it was pretty daunting.
"But I'm glad I stuck with it and had another crack.
"I think if I came away from here without anything I would have stopped the Olympics for sure.
"I just wouldn't have been cut out for it I think.
"But now I've got a medal I don't know, it's a pretty amazing feeling and it's hard to think that I wouldn't do it again."
After declaring winning gold was the best day of his life Slingsby revealed he had suffered extreme anxiety in the lead up to the showdown.
Slingsby couldn't sleep and watching other Finn and Star class sailors lose their grip on medals in the unpredictable waters of the Nothe course had planted a pessimistic seed in his mind.
"I'm the happiest guy in the world right now and good luck to anybody trying to tell me that someone is happier than me right now,'' he said.
''But I went out to the Nothe yesterday to watch the Stars and the Finns.
"I saw how easily you could lose a lead.
"I saw the gold medal slip through a couple of guys fingers yesterday and I just said to myself ''that's not going to be me and I'm not going to give him (Kontides) an inch."
Australian 49er crew Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen, who virtually secured gold medals themselves on day 10, were the first to congratulate Slingsby on his gold medal win.
The pair made their way across the choppy waters to salute the champion.
Even Prime Minister Julia Gillard got in on the act.
Ms Gillard called the Australian sailing's media manager saying she was about to go to bed and would call Slingsby to congratulate him in the morning.
But he may not be able to take the call at 10pm British time as he was set to celebrate the biggest day of his life at the Cove House Inn - a Portland pub which has been overtaken by Australian sailing fans during the Games.
Slingsby was roared to victory by a large crowd watching from the Nothe peninsula, overlooking Weymouth Bay.
Among them were Slingsby's father Dave, mother Mavis, his sister, brother-in-law and girlfriend - the Italian windsurfer Flavia Tartaglini.
"Gold was what he came here for,'' Dave Slingsby told the BBC, adding his son was left a shattered man after Beijing.
"He was world champion, world No.1 and it was devastating.
"It was devastating for Mavis and I and our family but you can imagine what it was like for Tom - awful."
Mavis Slingsby said she lay awake the night before trying to work out where Slingsby would need to finish the race to secure the gold medal.
"At three o'clock this morning I woke up and I was doing the maths myself,'' she said.
America's Cup winning skipper John Bertrand, who is also a selector for the Australian sailing team was beside himself after Slingsby crossed the line for gold.
''I'm so damn proud of Tommy," Bertrand said.
''He's faced his demons from Beijing where he went in as world champion and finished 22nd.
''He's become stronger, he's become tougher and he's done the job at last."
Slingsby's teammates are now hoping to turn the waters off Weymouth into a golden pond with four others crews still in with a chance of claiming gold medals in upcoming days.
Australia sailing could well exceed its best ever medal tally at a Games - the two gold, one silver and one bronze won at the Sydney Olympics - if other sailors live up the expectations.
This could also see Australia displace Great Britain as the top Olympic sailing nation in the world.
Queensland 470 skipper Mat Belcher and his Sydney crewmate Mal Page are well positioned for glory on Wednesday, while fellow world champions Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen are certain to pick up gold in the 49er skiff class.
49er SKIFFS
Australian sailors Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen are assured of winning the 49er skiff gold medal at the Olympic regatta in Weymouth.The world champion pair amassed enough points during day 10's two races to be mathematically sure of winning the gold. Outteridge and Jensen now just need to compete in Wednesday's medal race - even if they finish last - to clinch the victory.
Queensland's Mat Belcher and crewman Mal Page will be vying for their gold medal on Thursday night. The pair have four races remaining, which will be sailed tonight and tomorrow. If they win gold, Page will become the first sailor to win two gold medals for Australia. Going into tonight's racing the pair have a four-point lead over old rivals Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell from Great Britain. The New Zealand team of Paul Snow-Hansen and Jason Saunders are third, a huge 23 points behind the Australians.
While tipped as dark horses for a medal few expected Olivia Price, who turned 20 last week, and her team to be sporting the only unblemished scorecard of the regatta. The trio must now hold their nerve in the final series of the match-racing to win an historic gold medal in the class which has made its debut at the London Games. They're back on the water tomorrow night and the final is Saturday, the last event of the Olympic sailing program.
It is still too early to forecast how our women's 470 crew will do at the Olympics with Elise Rechichi and Belinda Stowell having competed just half their regatta in the two-handed dinghy. The pair are outside the top 10 at the moment, but Rechichi won gold in this event in Beijing and Stowell is also a former gold medal winner - vital experience for Friday's finals.

Find the derivative of the function.
We already know cos(arccos x) = x,
so taking derivatives of both sides gives us,
-sin (arccos x)(arccos x)' = 1
which means
If we let θ = arccos x, then somewhere there's a right triangle with an angle s such that
That triangle looks something like this:
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the missing side of the triangle is
Find the derivative of the function.
Starting with tan(arctan x) = x,
we can take the derivative of each side to get,
sec2(arctan x)(arctan x)' = 1 so,
Let θ = arctan x. Since
somewhere there's a right triangle that looks like this:
The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that the missing side is
secant is the reciprocal of cosine, in other words, "hypotenuse over adjacent," therefore
In the same way, we can find that
However, these derivatives don't seem to be used nearly as often as the other ones.

OOFOS OOriginal Sport Sandal
Super comfortable sandal. Great arch support and very lightweight. I have to admit that prior to receiving the Oofos OOriginal sport sandal for testing, I hated flip-flop type sandals. They all hurt my toes and their flat profile made them horrible to walk in. So it was with a lot of skepticism that I agreed to test the Oofos sandal in a men's size 9. The Marsala color is attractive. The bottom of the sandal is a dark gray, fading to a soft red color at the straps. Fitment was good, with a half… Full review

The Chaco Z/Volv Sandals are more of an evolution of the classic design rather than a revolution in the design — which means they are very very good. And I like it that way.

These are durable hiking sandals that adjust to and stabilize your foot. They're great for day trips, leisurely walks, and short hikes involving mud or water. I originally bought these sandals to take on a trip to Mexico where I would be doing a couple of short day hikes around the Zapatista perimeters, but spending a significant amount of time in a tour bus or sightseeing. I wanted something that would hold up well to walk in all day, but also work with the outfits I had chosen. These sandals… Full review

S Korean rail-blast aid also helps mend ties
Related topics
At the height of the cold war, South Korea's long-serving dictator Park Chung-Hee likened North Korea to a 'mad dog that deserves hitting with a stick'.
South Korean attitudes towards their brethren have come a long way since then. There has been an outpouring of public sympathy since the train explosion 10 days ago in the North Korean town of Ryongchon that killed at least 161 people and left thousands homeless.
Celebrities, politicians and ordinary citizens in the South have rushed to join campaigns to raise money for the victims of the explosion, spurred by graphic pictures of young children lying in ill-equipped hospitals and suffering severe burns and facial injuries.
Seoul plans to send 20 trucks loaded with goods - including blackboards, desks and other school supplies - on top the 80 tonnes of goods, including medicine and blankets, that was sent by air to Pyongyang on Friday. An earlier aid shipment arrived on Thursday at the northern port of Nampo.
'When my students and I saw the injured schoolchildren, it felt as though it was our own children who had been hurt,' said a teacher. A charity drive in Myongdong, the entertainment district of Seoul, attracted businessmen, passing shoppers and children.
Warming relations between the two Koreas in recent years have gradually transformed North Koreans from designated 'enemies' to 'brethren'. However, not all agree with the new definition. Jong-myo Park, in downtown Seoul, is a traditional meeting place for hundreds of the city's male senior citizens. They gather during the day to play Korean chequers and engage in fierce conversations about the country's politics.
Among this older community, many of whom had first-hand experience of the Korean war, the attitude is far more hostile.
'Those North Koreans should take responsibility for the state of their own country' said one elderly man, shaking his fist in the air, during a heated discussion on the evils of communism.
The term 'main enemy' was used by Seoul to describe its neighbour since the end of Korean war in 1953. The description was dropped in March, the fruit of a decision by President Roh Moo-Hyun to continue his predecessor's policy of engaging the North despite an international crisis over its nuclear weapons programme.
The 'sunshine policy' of engagement has changed the terms of the debate on North Korea and affected even the most vehement anti-Pyongyang voices
Conservative daily the Chosun Ilbo, well known for its criticism of the North Korean government, kicked off its own disaster fund with a contribution of 100 million won (HK$670,000).
The South Korean government has pledged more than US$25 million in aid to rebuild shattered Ryongchon. It is also hoping to build on the sense of public solidarity in South Korea towards the North.

- Session on 'Motivation' at Vivek High School
CHANDIGARH: Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Young Indians (Yi) Chandigarh Tricity chapter organised a session on 'Motivation' at Vivek High School, Chandigarh. Brigadier (Retd) Z S Dhaliwal, interacted with the students and inspired them to achieve their goals in life by staying motivated and focused. "Motivation is a state of mind. To succeed, one must set achievable and realistic goals. Till we write down our goals on paper, they remain our dreams only. We must never let any excuses or procrastination come in the way of accomplishing tasks and to do so we must start working on our goals immediately. Breaking down our goals into smaller ones makes them easily achievable," said Brigadier (Retd) Z S Dhaliwal. "Winning over our weaknesses, satisfying our own needs first is a must. Once we manage to keep our minds motivated, we can win over anything in the world. When we fulfill our needs at one level, then only we can focus on satisfying our needs on a higher level. The best and perfect way to keep yourself motivated is by rewarding yourself on completing a particular task. Conquering small battles is the best motivation secret for moving on to the next goal," he added. "Self-motivation is required in every aspect of life, be it career, social life, relationships, health, spirituality or personality development. Self-motivation is the most effective way to improve confidence. Apart from giving you the strength to achieve your goals, it brings about a change in your personality and character as well," he said.

- Threat looms over Queen Mary's High School
Visakhapatnam: Another one of Vizag's major heritage structures - Queen Mary's High School - which was originally built and funded by the Gode family in the late 1800s, is now facing the danger of being demolished by the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) authorities. Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (Intach) Vizag convener PV Prasad said the Old Town zonal commissioner of GVMC had issued a notice under Section-456 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, dated July 27, 2016, RC NO-138 saying that the "existing building of Government Queen Mary's High School, Old Post Office division No. 25 is in a very dangerous condition and likely to fall/ collapse due to the age of the building and structural condition." It further directed the school authorities to bring down the building within three days of date of receipt of notice, failing which the GVMC would itself demolish the building. Members of Intach-Vizag said they immediately contacted the present district collector and the former GVMC commissioner Pravin Kumar, who said he would look into the matter. Prasad said this was not the first time that heritage structures in the city were targeted. Stating the demolition of the Kurupam market as a prime example of official insensitivity, Prasad added that Intach-Vizag would not give up on the Queen Mary's School. Members of Intach observed that at this rate, given the attitude of the average official towards heritage structures and the history of a place, Vizag would soon be shorn of all its major heritage structures.

Eric S. Schmitt (born June 20, 1975) is a Republican candidate for Missouri's State Treasurer. He is a member of the Missouri Senate, representing the 15th senate district since 2009. He previously served as an Alderman for Glendale, Missouri from 2005 to 2008. Schmitt is considered a rising star in the GOP and has an extensive legislative record including reforms for children with special needs, tax cuts and taking on the state's cities and villages using speed traps as a disproportionate part of their budgets.
Early life and education[edit]
Born in Bridgeton, Missouri, Schmitt is a lifelong resident of St. Louis County. He graduated from DeSmet Jesuit High School in 1993 and from Truman State University in 1997, where he earned a B.A. cum laude in political science. Schmitt's roots run deep in rural Missouri, with family in the Tipton and Pilot Grove areas in mid-Missouri.
At Truman, Schmitt was a member of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity, played football and baseball, and was a founding member of Truman's Habitat for Humanity chapter. He received a scholarship to attend St. Louis University School of Law, where he earned his J.D. in 2000. Schmitt was an editor of the law review and published an article analyzing the Supreme Court decision in Clinton v. New York.[1]
Personal life and legal career[edit]
Schmitt was admitted to the Missouri bar in 2000. He is a partner at the firm Lathrop & Gage, LLP, in Clayton, Missouri, where he focuses on land use, real estate, business disputes, and administrative appeals. In his community, he has been an active member for the boards of DeSmet Jesuit High School, Nurses for Newborns Foundation, St. Louis Crisis Nursery, and a Parents as Teachers Program. He had previously been elected chairman of the Young Lawyer Section Council of the Missouri Bar, led a statewide Giving Tree effort to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and created a Special Needs Advocacy Task Force. He has also been involved with the TS (Tuberous Sclerosis) Alliance, the Gateway Chapter of the Autism Society of America, Habitat for Humanity, and local Chambers of Commerce.[2]
Political career[edit]
Schmitt served as an alderman for Glendale, Missouri, from 2005 to 2008. On November 4, 2008, Schmitt was elected to the Missouri Senate. When sworn in, Schmitt became one of the youngest member ever to serve in the state's upper chamber. He represents the 15th senatorial district, which includes all or parts of Affton, Shrewsbury, Grantwood Village, Webster Groves, Glendale, Warson Woods, Oakland, Crestwood, Kirkwood, Valley Park, Fenton, Twin Oaks, Manchester, and Ballwin.
Schmitt's priorities include economic development, increasing access to affordable and portable healthcare, promoting government transparency, and ensuring quality education for all Missouri students. In his first year in office, Schmitt successfully pushed legislation that established the MO HealthNet (Medicaid) Data Transparency Program, which created a web portal allowing all Missourians to see what providers charge for their services with just a click of a mouse. Schmitt also sponsored and passed a state constitutional amendment to make the St. Louis County Assessor an elected position so that voters have a more accountable and transparent property assessment process. The amendment was overwhelmingly approved by St. Louis County and Missouri voters in November 2010. Schmitt further advocated for government transparency by successfully pushing legislation to give taxpayers greater online access to more information about their property reassessments. He also sponsored a bill to require additional notice to the public before local governments can vote on tax increases, eminent domain, tax increment financing, or certain projects receiving public funding.
In 2009, the Missouri House of Representatives failed to pass a Senate-approved bill regarding autism insurance reform. In response, Schmitt helped to organize a series of statewide public awareness events and rallies, building a grassroots effort to push for reform.[3]
During the 2010 session, both chambers approved autism insurance reform with large bipartisan majorities. Beginning in 2011, Schmitt became a member of Senate Leadership when his colleagues elected him as Majority Caucus Secretary. He also assumed the chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and Local Government. That year, he passed a bill phasing out Missouri's franchise tax, which was an outdated double taxation on business assets. When fully phased in, the elimination of the franchise tax will represent the largest tax relief measure in the state's history. He dedicated himself to defending fair and equitable funding for schools in his district.
Following the 2010 census, Schmitt's district was redrawn, although it is still centered around south central St. Louis County. On February 28, 2012, Schmitt filed for reelection in the 15th district. He will run unopposed in both the primary and general elections in 2012.[4]
In 2015, Schmitt sponsored legislation strengthening the state's "Mack's Creek Law," further reducing the cap on municipal revenue from speed traps throughout the state. In addition, Schmitt has worked to enact the federal ABLE Act, to provide 529 savings account opportunities to families with children with special needs, to cover their future costs and allow them to be more financially independent and self-sufficient.
Committee Membership[5][edit]
Schmitt serves on the following legislative committees and statewide commissions:
- Senate Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and Local Government (Chair)
- Senate Committee on the Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence (Vice Chair)
- Senate Committee on Gubernatorial Appointments
- Senate Committee on Health, Mental Health, Seniors and Families
- Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (Chair)
- Joint Committee on MO Health Net
- Joint Committee on Missouri's Promise
- Administrative Law Judge Review Committee
- Missouri Tourism Commission
- Quality Jobs Advisory Task Force
Legislative Awards and Other Honors[edit]
Schmitt has won numerous awards for his service, including:
- 2011 St. Louis County Bar Association Outstanding Young Lawyer
- 2010 St. Louis Business Journal 40 under 40 class
- 2010, 2011, and 2012 St. Louis Business Journal Legislative Award
