What size brassiere doyou wear? Women don'tdiscuss their bra size in pub-lic, but you know a goodone when you see it. A badone is uncomfortable andyou look the part. MarilynMonroe was a Size 12, a38D. Wendy Williams dis-cusses her full figure, her "BIG" image, but neglectthe size. There are doubleG cup bras. Madame C. J.Walker, was possibly intoday's terminology, a dou-ble D Cup, or double F Cup.Kimora Simmons, wife ofhip-hop mogul, RichardSimmons, at six-feet tall,will go bra-less on her casu-al days, and Whoopi openlyadmits she does not wear abra and it shows.

A well dressed fullbosomed female is a personthat "people watch" moregoing and coming. Thestare is one of sheer adora-tion, because she is well-put together. I was still inthe modeling world whenthe full-figured models hitthe runways of America. Itwas over-the-top aroundthe globe. The "EbonyFashion Show" did it bestbecause they deployed thesassiest, sexiest, most stim-ulating figure to fit the part.

What is your bra-of-choice? Push-up, full cup,padded, sports, maternity,strapless, balcony orplunge? For the "stimulat-ing figure", a good bra does

more than give you a lift. Itimproves your silhouette,most importantly. Liftingyour breast simply slimsyour whole figure andnoticeably improves yourposture. Debra Jones,Jones 2000 Models, a pro-fessional full figure runwaymodel, is a strong advocateof proper brassiere fitting.During my visit to the COM-PLETE BOUTIQUE, I learneda lot about shapewear andthe top-of-the-line solu-tions that flatter any size,especially the full figure.

Watch the video at 'com-pleteboutiquedfw'. Try acomplimentary foundationfitting. Drop by on yourway to the State Fair. Call214.928.9327. See the dif-ference a fitted bra willmake. Stay looking good!

Toasts, on my HonoraryDoctorate.

"Know what God's Wordsays and means…God'struth stands firm like agreat rock, and nothingcan shake it…" (2 Timothy2:15,19). God's word istrue. What does thismean? Why should we beconcerned with the truthof God's word? Well, itmeans that if you are everin need or in doubt, youcan depend on God's holyword remaining the same.It won't change! It's thesame today, tomorrow,and forever. That's power-ful. When all of yourfriends change their

minds about their owntruth, God's word won't.When you think that youknow your husband orwife well and then theychange all of a sudden,God's word won't. Whenyour boss decides to sud-denly change the agree-ment of your contract,God's word will still be thesame. It won't change.You can depend on Hisword being the sametoday and always.

Nothing can shake thetruth and power of God'sword. Nothing. Once youknow what God's wordsays and means, you areable to walk in the light.This means that you arewalking in the light ofGod's righteousness. Youare able to determinewhen someone is miscon-struing God's wordbecause you know it for

yourself. But you've got toknow the Word of God tobe true. This means thatyou are spending time inthe Word on a regularbasis. This means thatyou are taking time topray and to allow God tospeak to your heart aswell during prayer. Thismeans that God's word isso important to you thatyou think about His wordduring the day and keep itclose to your heart andmind as well.

I'm not able to think ofanything else that doesnot change. Whenever Ithought I could depend onsome external circum-stance or situation, Godhas always shown me thatI'm depending on some-thing that will not last abreath. It will not last aspan of the wind blowingacross the tall summer

grass. He would show methat the thing I wasdepending on was fallible,it would change. It wouldnot be dependable. I'vehad to trust His unchang-ing word. You can trustHis unchanging word aswell.

Take a moment to sit ina quiet place and crackopen the Word. Allowyour eyes to fall upon itstruth so that it can ignite adeeper meaning in yourlife. Take time to pray.You can only stand on Hisunchanging Word whenyou begin to know theunchanging Word. Untilyou know the Word foryourself, you will alwaysdepend on someone elseto feed you God's wordlike a baby-- in smallportions. Grow up. Movefrom milk to meat. Don'tyou deserve it?

“Almost 50 years ago, I gavea little blood on that bridge inSelma, Alabama for the right tovote. I am not going to standby and let the Supreme Courttake the right to vote awayfrom us.”

- Rep. John Lewis at the 50thanniversary March onWashington

Last weekend, tens of thou-sands of citizens from aroundthe country converged at thefoot of the Lincoln Memorial tocommemorate the 50thanniversary of the 1963 Marchon Washington and to dedi-cate themselves to a continua-tion of the fight for jobs, votingrights and a host of other chal-lenges that are having a dispro-

portionate impact on AfricanAmericans and other commu-nities of color.

Just as 50 years ago, theNational Urban League was onthe front lines of last week’smarch activities. I had thehonor of addressing the multi-tude from the same locationthat Dr. King and WhitneyYoung did during the 1963March. Approximately 5000Urban Leaguers and friendsmarched with us to the LincolnMemorial in a pre-march rally.We came in full force.

Our participation wasshaped by our determinationthat the 50-year anniversary ofthe March on Washington forJobs and Freedom, as well asof Dr. King’s historic “I Have aDream” speech, would be botha commemoration and a con-tinuation of the unfinishedwork of building our more per-fect union. To that end, weconvened a Redeem theDream summit on Friday,bringing together civil rightslegends and new generationleaders for spirited discussionsof the work that lies ahead aswe confront both the progres-sion and regression of equalopportunity in 21st centuryAmerica. We, along with acoalition of civil rights, socialjustice, business and commu-nity leaders – the AfricanAmerican Leaders Convening

(AALC), also introduced our21st Century Agenda for Jobsand Freedom joined.

While the agenda wasdeveloped during meetings inWashington in December 2012and January 2013 with thehelp of the dozens of leadersthat compose the AALC, theeffort was led by the presi-dents of the National UrbanLeague, the National ActionNetwork, NAACP and theNational Coalition on BlackCivic Participation. This grow-ing coalition has produced adomestic policy agenda thatlays out five urgent domesticgoals for the nation:

- Achieve Economic Parityfor African Americans

- Promote Equity inEducational Opportunity

- Protect and Defend VotingRights

- Promote a HealthierNation by EliminatingHealthcare Disparities

- Achieve ComprehensiveCriminal Justice SystemReform

The civil rights and legisla-tive successes that followedthe 1963 March onWashington for Jobs andFreedom laid the foundationfor the Civil Rights Act of 1964,the Voting Rights Act of 1965and decades of progress. But,recently we have witnessed

concerted efforts aimed atturning back the hands ofprogress in numerous areasfrom voting and civil rights toworkers’ rights and criminaljustice. In addition, highunemployment and othereconomic, social and legal dis-parities that continue toplague African Americans andlow income and working classAmericans underscore theurgency of our demand.

We cannot wave the flag ofvictory when so much workremains to be done. Theseinjustices have, in fact,sparked the flame of a revital-ized 21st Century Civil RightsMovement. The AALC willhold future meetings to dis-cuss strategies and tactics insupport of the agenda. Wewill also be calling on electedofficials and candidates tocommit their support for theagenda and to work for itsimplementation. Until wemeaningfully confront thesechallenges, we jeopardize ourability and potential as anation to fully live up to ourideals of liberty and justice forall.

U.S. Attorney General EricHolder recently announced keypolicy changes designed toreduce our nation's prison pop-ulation. Under Mr. Holder'splan, the Justice Departmentwill no longer hand out undulyharsh sentences to low-leveldrug offenders who have noconnections to gangs and drugtrafficking. Mr. Holder's planmakes absolutely good sense.

America has the highestdocumented prison populationin the world. Nearly 2.3 millionadults were incarcerated in fed-eral, state and county prisonsand jails in 2012, according tothe U.S. Bureau of Justice

Statistics. During the past two

decades the country has wit-nessed an increase in its prisonpopulation largely due tomandatory sentencing policiesthat were implemented in thel980s. Many of those arrestedand given such sentences wereminor drug dealers. Mr. Holderannounced that these peoplewould be spared the mandato-ry sentencing guides that hadgiven some of them sentencesof ten years or more.

Since President RichardNixon announced the "war ondrugs" in the early 1970s, ourprison population has risen sodramatically that we have 25percent of the world's prisonpopulation while we accountfor only five percent of theworld's population. Currently,people convicted of conspiracyto sell 5kg of cocaine receive amandatory ten year minimumsentence.

Many jurisdictions have

developed drug courts andeffective drug treatment plans,but judges find their hands tiedby the current sentencingrequirements. Even, first timeoffenders have been subject tothe policy that placed thembehind bars for a decade.

According to JusticeDepartment figures the U.S.prison population of 1,571,013has been slowly decreasingalong with the country's declin-ing crime rate. There have beenseveral attempts in Congress toreform sentencing policy, lead-ing to speculation that an era ofmassive prison incarcerationwould cease.

Our current policy is alsofiscally irresponsible. In 2010,housing prisoners in this coun-try cost taxpayers $80 billion.These resources can be betterused by keeping dangerouscriminals incarcerated andmaking serious attempts atrehabilitation rather than justwarehousing individuals.

Harsh, mandatory mini-mum sentences for minor drugcrimes do not make sense.When we incarcerate minoroffenders, many of whom areracial minorities, for extendedperiods we cripple communi-ties, families and our economy.Once released many are unableto find employment and quick-ly resort to lives of crime.

The Attorney General alsoannounced that the JusticeDepartment would also beginto review sentencing disparitiesin America, citing a recentstudy that concluded that blackmales received sentences thatwere 20 percent longer thanwhites convicted of similaroffenses.

A civil society does notbecome a safer one by simplyprosecuting and incarceratingits citizens. While we must con-tinue to fight criminal behavior,we must also be reasonable inour sentencing polices.

Dear Editor,

I am Reecia Stoglin, the spouseof Chaplain Richmond E. Stoglin,Command Chaplain NATO TrainingMission-Afghanistan / CombinedSecurity Transition Command(NTM-A/CSTC-A ). I am appalled bythe racism exhibited toward myhusband by Chaplain Gregory Hornand how the U.S. Navy ChaplainCorps (CHC) has refused to addressthe issue! In June I wrote severalmembers of the Senate ArmedServices Committee- inclusive ofSenator Ted Cruz---no response.However, I received a letter fromSenator John McCain informing mehe too would contact SenatorCruz's office. I have written theSecretary of the Navy--Ray Mabus--of Mississippi-no response. TheChief of Chaplains office respond-ed by telling me the selectionprocess is secret and that it is not

open for discussion! I want ourcommunity to be aware of whatour Servicemen & Women endurewhile serving their country.

His service record has beenreviewed by the Navy ReserveOfficer's Association, and deemedstellar. With each promotionboard he has met or exceeded thestandards, but has been passedover for promotion. EVERY(Commander Rank) Chaplain(Active Duty & ANGLO) that hasserved in his current position hasbeen PROMOTED! He is an AfricanAmerican & Reservist. The first tohold the position and has done anoutstanding job--evident by hisFitness Report (FITREP) of all 5's(max) from the three-starCommand General of NTM-A/CSTC-A, while serving in thisposition a full rank above his cur-rent rank!! This position is tri-hat-ted,( Command Chaplain NTM-

A/CSTC-A (39 NATO nations),Senior Advisor to the AfghanBrigadier General of Religious andCultural Affairs (RCA) of the AfghanNational Army (ANA), but he hasLESS staff than his predecessors,far more responsibilities, but all ofthem have been promoted! He iswithin weight standards andscored an Outstanding MAX on hisphysical readiness test. The CHCmandated," in order to be pro-motable chaplains must be opera-tional." He has spent 22 of his 27years serving Marines. My husbandhas a Bachelor's Degree inHistory/Political Science --University of Wisconsin; Master'sof Divinity (M.Div.)--GammonTheological Seminary (A CrusadeScholar); Master's Degree in PublicAdministration (MPA) emphasis inPublic Policy--University of Texas-Arlington; Doctor of Ministry(D.Min)--Pastoral Counseling--

United Theological Seminary; aLicensed Marriage and FamilyTherapist (LMFT); Certification inCrisis Management; and a gradu-ate of the Navy War College, inclu-sive of earning an "A" in Strategiesand War! Additionally, he hascompleted all the courses offeredby the Navy Chaplain School withinhis rank years ago. Many of thechaplains I know that have beenpromoted to Captain rank, O-6have the minimal qualification--aMaster's of Divinity!

The Anglo chaplain that waspromoted this time instead of myhusband was a Joint Task Force(JTF) Chaplain. My husband hasserved as JTF Chaplain three timeson two different continents.However, it did NOT get him pro-moted. After knowing this cananyone honestly say racism doesnot flourishes in the US NavyChaplain Corps?

The full Senate is expect-ed to vote on the resolutionnext week. The House ofRepresentatives also mustapprove the measure.

Obama and administra-tion officials have pushedCongress to act quickly, say-ing U.S. national securityand international credibilityis at stake in the decisionwhether to use force inSyria to punish PresidentBashar al-Assad's govern-ment for chemical weaponsuse.

"If we don't take a standhere today, I guarantee you,we are more likely to facefar greater risks to our secu-rity and a far greater likeli-hood of conflict thatdemands our action in thefuture," Secretary of StateJohn Kerry told the HouseForeign Affairs Committee

at a separate meeting onWednesday.

"Assad will read oursilence, our unwillingnessto act, as a signal that hecan use his weapons withimpunity," Kerry said.

The committee votecame after the two panelleaders - DemocraticChairman RobertMenendez and seniorRepublican Bob Corker -crafted a compromise tomeet concerns from somelawmakers that Obama'sresolution was too open-ended.

Republican Senator JohnMcCain of Arizona hadobjected to the more nar-row wording. But the com-mittee adopted amend-ments proposed by McCainwith policy goals of degrad-ing Assad's ability to usechemical weapons, increas-ing support for rebel forces

and reversing battlefieldmomentum to create condi-tions for Assad's removal.

Many lawmakers havesaid they are worried theresolution could lead to U.S.ground troops, or "boots onthe ground," in Syria - whichadministration officials saidwould not happen.

"It's very clear on theHouse side there is no sup-port for boots on theground," House ForeignAffairs CommitteeChairman Ed Royce toldKerry at Wednesday's hear-ing, which also featured tes-timony from DefenseSecretary Chuck Hagel andGeneral Martin Dempsey,chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staff.

Kerry answered flatly,"There will be no boots onthe ground. The presidenthas said it again and again."

Imagine a 17-year-oldmaking over $40,000.00 inone day on the tenniscourt, playing a sport thatshe enjoys and consumesmost of her time duringher waking hours.

Victoria Duval, a nativeof Haiti, who now resides

in the United States,entered the 2013 US Openin New York ranked 298thin the world, and had towin the qualifying round toenter the main draw, upsetSamantha Stosur in thefirst round to make thebiggest pay check of herlife.

Duval decided to playtennis at the age of sevenwhile watching her olderbrothers play in a tourna-ment in Santo Domingo,near her childhood homein Haiti. Without any previ-ous tournament experi-ence, Duval entered thesame event after encour-agement from the tourna-ment director, and won herage division. This win

prompted her to play othertennis events, taking heraway from her love for bal-let.

This win also means thatDuval has a bright future inthe game, joining otherBlack female super stars intennis as Serena Williams,Venus Williams, SloaneStephens, Madison Keys,and teenage sensation,Taylor Townsend. Thetime is near when every-one can feel comfortableabout the major stridesthat Blacks have made intennis in the past, and thegreat promise it has foradditional players in thefuture.

Many patients need a one-timeblood transfusion, but the esti-mated 100,000 Americans withsickle cell disease face a lifetimeof them. During September,National Sickle Cell AwarenessMonth, the American Red Crossencourages blood donations fromdonors of all types.

Most people with sickle celldisease are of African descent,but many are of Indian, MiddleEastern, Hispanic, Mediterraneanand other descents. Becauserecipients are less likely to havecomplications from blood donat-ed by someone with the sameethnicity, a diverse supply isimportant.

Sickle cell disease causes redlood cells to form an abnormalshape. Regular blood transfusionscan help reduce the risks ofstroke, damage to major organsand other complications. Whilebetter management of the dis-ease has increased life expectancy

in recent years, there is still nocure.
