Mayor Tom Barrett was joined by Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver and Milwaukee Bucks representatives, along with local and national leaders from President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative, to discuss the mentoring landscape in Milwaukee at a Mentoring Forum on Thursday, January 14, 2016, at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The objective of the forum was to raise awareness and identify gaps in mentoring services across Milwaukee to ensure that every young person has access to a mentor. January has been declared National Mentoring Month.

Prior to the forum, the media was invited to a press conference where a mentoring initiative was

announced by Mayor Barrett, MPS Superintendent Dr. Driver, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee President/CEO Amy Chionchio; Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin; former Bucks player Marques Johnson; and former Bucks player and NBA Cares Ambassador Bob Lanier.

White House Cabinet Secretary and Chair of the My Brother’s Keeper Task Force Broderick Johnson was also attending the press conference and event to meet with youth and leaders, applaud Milwaukee’s progress and discuss the progress of the national initiative following the President’s State of the Union Address.

Mayor Barrett, joining with a diverse group of local organizations and citizens, accepted the My

Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge in October 2014. The MBK Community Challenge is a national call to action from President Barack Obama to improve life outcomes for all young people. As a part of meeting this challenge, President Obama and his Cabinet have made the strengthening and expansion of mentoring opportunities a national priority.

One million Walmart® associates to receive pay increase in February

Most Milwaukee hourly Walmart employees will receive a pay increase of at least $1 per hour effective February 20, 2016. The raise is part of a commitment announced by the company in October 2015 to invest $2.7 billion in its 1.2 million U.S. workforce over the next two years.

All employees hired before January 1, 2016 will earn at least $10/hour after February 20. New entry-level associates hired after January 1 will continue to be paid $9/ hour until successfully completing the company’s new retail skills and training program known as Pathways.

Associates already earning more than $10/hour will re-

ceive an annual pay increase in February rather than waiting until their anniversary date.

The company is also implementing a new simplified Paid Time Off policy that will streamline paid vacation, sick time, personal time and holiday time into one category and allow employees to use the accumulated time off immediately after it is earned.

Walmart is also implementing a new basic Short Term Disability Plan at no cost to full-time hourly associates.

When the pay increases take effect Walmart’s average full-time hourly wage will be $13.83/hour. The average part-time hourly wage will be $10.58.hour.

VITA program begins free tax preparation

Committed to service, African American Greek fraternities and sororities respond to crisis In response to the water crisis in Flint, MI, the National Panhellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC) Milwaukee Graduate Chapter announces the launch of its campaign, “Clean Water for Flint Water Collection and Donation,” and invites the community to attend its donation rally on Saturday, January 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Complete Warehouse located at 2207 S. 114th St. (Dock A6/A7) in West Allis. NHPC of Milwaukee will transport the donated water to Flint on Sunday, Jan. 31. Money raised will apply toward the associated costs of transport and shipping.

On January 16, 2016, President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Michigan and ordered federal aid to support the city of Flint, which has been contending with lead-contaminated drinking water for almost two years. Lead poisoning can produce lifelong health effects, and developing children who are exposed to lead even at low levels are at risk of brain damage, behavioral problems and learning disabilities.

In addition to donating wa-

ter on January 30, Milwaukee residents can assist NHPC and its members in a number of ways: On Thursday, Jan. 28 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., donate water (bottles and 2.5 gallon drums are welcome) and drop it off at Gee’s Clippers located at 2215 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Dr. Consider helping by donating money online via “Milwaukee Greeks for Flint Clean Water Drive” at GoFundMe.com Or make a donation to the “NPHC Water Drive - 7955” at the U.S. Bank located at 6950 W. State St., inside of Pick’ n Save grocery store.

“Water is a basic human right and all people deserve access to safe, affordable drinking water and sanitation,” says NHPC of Milwaukee President Bridget Robinson. “We seek to engage our chapters of the ‘Divine Nine,’ our collective members and partners in the civic duty and responsibility to provide resources necessary to meet the needs of the families and children impacted by this national disaster. Our goal is to fill up an entire semi-truck with water

and deliver it all to Flint.”

The National Panhellenic Council, Incorporated (NPHC) is currently composed of nine international Greek letter sororities and fraternities: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. NPHC promotes interaction through forums, meetings and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions. The NPHC of Milwaukee is designed to support the collaborated agenda of its affiliate organizations dealing with matters of mutual concern.

After coming to the realization of missed opportunities of the past, the next course of action is to always look forward to a brighter future. For it is in the future, the next day, month, year, decade or generation that holds the most promise to fulfill dreams, set new records, reach milestones, or to maximize one’s potential. We have to learn how to move forward and to push on, even against the odds, mistrust and beyond those that do not believe in us.

“Time doesn’t wait on anybody,” is one of those wise sayings I learned from others since my youth. And I am sure I am not alone. This is one of those sayings that sticks and can help each of us to remain focused on how we use our time. In so many ways we all are guilty of not using the time we have wisely. If fact, we all have wasted time in going through the motions, standing still, doing nothing, look back or doing things that really don’t matter. Of course that is your choice.

I don’t know about you; but a lot has happened in my life and I wish I had the opportunity for some “redo’s.”

But that will not happen, for that time has come and gone. What has happened in the “past is just the past” and is now history. We all must learn from our mistakes, pain endured, brokenness, lost productivity, and missed opportunities as well as our successes. Even though the past provides some comfort in what we have done, for “seeing is believing and experience is the knowing,” it may not be enough to help us deal with the situations and issues that

By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times

I don’t care equals freedom Many Americans make themselves slaves to problems not of their own making. It seems to be a perverse trait of people to habitually adopt problems from others.

People constantly delve into business that has nothing to do with their life situation.

The need to comment, judge or listen to issues that have no bearing on your life is a perverse addiction. No one can acknowledge this addiction because almost everyone suffers from it. It’s time for Americans to adopt a new slogan for life: “I don’t care.”

go of problems not of our concern we have to look at the sources. Let’s start with family.

I can hear the gasps from all the good people. “We must care about one another.” Or, “I am a good person and I can help others.”

Both of these statements have truth. The question is, “Does caring and good mean picking up other people’s problems?” What good does it do you to bear a burden that has nothing to do with you? What good is it to worry or even be concerned over events you have no control over? Before we can let

Family is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing when you can enjoy family and then walk away. Family is a curse when you are burdened with family issues.

Another area many adopt problems from is politics. If you watch CNN or MSNBC then you are a problem junkie. You are listening and picking up issues from across the world. Many of you don’t leave the city you reside in, but are worried about issues in other states. Or you are concerned with who will be President. If the person that you don’t want to get elected is, what can you do?

Nothing.

On a smaller scale, people I am not saying not to care flock to other people with about family, just to care issues. I have always called more for your own peace those who do this 'energy of mind.

An “I don’t care” attitude can break this life-draining addiction. You don’t have to be cruel or callous; just focus more on you. Avoid issues that don’t affect your life.

If a situation is out of your grasp, let it go. You can’t fix another’s marriage. You can’t heal the sick, and if you can you should be rich. The one thing you can do is take care of yourself. This is the ultimate paradox. By taking care of yourself, you take care of others. Wrap your mind around that.

The Counseling Corner

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Living a life that matters: Optimism puts you in control (Week 4) Optimism is hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something. Thus, the person who is said to be optimistic is one with a disposition or tendency to look on the more favorable side of events. Speaking to Maya Angelou about the South, Angelou said it’s easy to see it as “a repository of all bad things,” but she decided to see it differently. “It’s beautiful,” she said. “That’s why people have fought for it.

The place where I live is lovely.” Optimism puts us in control of negative events.

Sometimes the only thing we can control is our reaction.

And refusing to let the tragic and unfortunate get the upper hand is the best response if we want to rise above. In the 4th installment of this series, living a life that matters, drawn from the legacy of Maya Angelou, consider:

phy’s Law: How Optimists Get What They Want From Life and Pessimists Can Too, (The Guilford Press, 2007). Dr. Segerstrom argues that optimists have significant advantages in the workplace over their “Debbie Downer” co-workers. She notes optimists are more motivated to reach their goal, particularly in the face of obstacles. In other words, someone who does not believe their efforts Lesson #4: Optimism will be fruitful is less likely to Puts You In Control invest their time in ambitious Psychologist Suzanne projects and goals. Optimists Segerstrom is an optimist. are more successful because In her book, Breaking Mur- they are willing to overcome

obstacles and problem-solve, which are critical skills to advancement in any work environment.

And on an interpersonal level, optimists are easy and enjoyable to work with.

Optimism is not only useful in the workplace, but in every area of one’s life. When you are facing an obstacle or you are leaning towards a pessimistic attitude, ask yourself: “If I could not fail at this, how would I proceed?” By asking that type of question, according to Dr. Segerstrom, a pessimist will be able to tap into the optimistic thought process – a way of thinking that does not let obstacles stand in the way of their goals.

In a line from her book, Letter To My Daughter (Random House, 2009), Maya

Angelou wrote: “You may not control all of the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

Beloved, as we enter a New Year, develop an optimistic attitude which can be the difference between success and failure. Moreover, remember the words of our dear Lord: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened.

And do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9).

I love you, Lord; you are my strength.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.

He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.

The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me.

The grave[a] wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path.

But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help.

He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.

Then the earth quaked and trembled. The foundations of the mountains shook; they quaked because of his anger.

Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him.

He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.

Mounted on a mighty angelic being,[b] he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.

He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.

Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him and rained down hail and burning coals.

The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and burning coals.

He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

Then at your command, O Lord, at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.

He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.

He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me. They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord supported me. He led me to a

Uptown Crossing installs final Neighborhood Watch sign Alderman Russell W. Stamper, II, joined residents and other neighborhood stakeholders during a special ceremony marking the final Uptown Crossing neighborhood sign installation in the 15th Aldermanic District. A city Department of Public Works crew installed the final sign on Monday, January 25, 2016, in front of Judy’s Red Hots at N. 48th St. and W. Lisbon Ave. “The Uptown Crossing Neighborhood Association (UNCA) has been a tremendous partner in working to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood, and their effort to help create a better sense of identity with the signage is excellent and deserves recognition,” Alderman Stamper said.

Uptown Crossing is bounded by N. Sherman Blvd. on the east, N. 60th St. on the west, from W. North Ave. (south) to W. Center St. Photo by Yvonne Kemp (north). Alderman Stamper, DPW, TAPCO, the Milwaukee Police Department’s District Three, and the city’s Neighborhood Improvement Development Corp., were partners in the Uptown Crossing signage initiative. Pictured at the event are (from left) Judy Red Hots owners Ali Shan Chattha and his son Amjah Tufail; DPW worker Douglas Rupert (back row); UNCA president Tina Holst; Alderman Russell Stamper, II; and Joe Halvorson with DPW.

St. Vincent de Paul hosts blessing and dedication of new Harambee kitchen Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy Romo West (left, front) invited the public to a blessing and dedication of the new Harambee Kitchen at 2600 N. 2nd St. on Saturday, January 23, 2016.

Catholic Archbishop Jerome Listecki (3rd from left) and Lutheran Bishop Jeff Barrow (2nd from right) , and St. Vincent de Paul Society executive director Deborah Duskey (right) were on hand to blessed the kitchen, which has been relocated from Martin Luther King Drive to its new address inside All People’s Church on 2nd Street.

The newly renovated kitchen with dining area was opened through the generous support of many interfaith parishes and groups throughout the Milwaukee area as well as Hunger Task Force. With the new kitchen, St. Vincent de Paul Society will be able to provide more than 200 hot, nutritious meals Tuesday through Saturday each week.

Romo West said the kitchen is in need of meal providers as well as volunteers.

Community Column Dance program showcases Africa and the Diaspora The story of African peoples and their passage into the New World is embedded in dance. Slaves from Sierra Leone, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Senegal and other West African nations brought their music and dances through the Middle Passage to the New World.

History and culture were preserved in that music and dance, said Ferne Y. Caulker Bronson, professor of dance in the Peck School of the Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

“It’s not just about dancing…it’s about exploring an aesthetic that is very, very old, that has influenced the whole planet. The migration of enslaved Africans changed the aesthetic in those places where they went. Dance in America would not be what it is if it were not for the African influence.”

Caulker Bronson, who will be retiring in May, has shared her knowledge of and passion for African dance for more than 40 years through performances, teaching and research.

“Winterdances 2016: Evolve As We Enter,” Feb. 4-7 at UWM, features work by guest choreographers Amaniyea Payne (artistic director of Muntu Dance Theatre of Chicago), Debra Loewen (artistic director of Wild Space Dance Company and lecturer in the Department of Dance), Melinda Jean Myers (former company member of Trisha Brown Dance Company), and the Peck School’s Maria Gillespie, an assistant professor, and Senior Lecturer Dani Kuepper.

Caulker Bronson has helped cement UWM’s reputation as a leader in teaching and performing African Dance. Milwaukee’s Ko-Thi Dance Company, which she founded in 1969, partners closely with the Peck School and is currently based at UWM. The university’s pioneering work in teaching and performing the dances of Africa and the Diaspora was featured in Dance Magazine in the summer of 2015.

Desmond Cotton, who graduated from UWM in December 2015, took Af-

Ferne Y. Caulker Bronson rican dance classes as part of his contemporary dance major. The tie to his heritage was one factor in choosing those classes.

“I really enjoyed being able to experience the freedom of motion and the call-andresponse format. I read a lot about the art form and the history. It really contributed to my knowledge of the dance and the history.”

UWM’s African dance program grew out of Caulker Bronson’s work with KoThi. She was teaching a popular class on African dance part-time as a lecturer in the university’s Africology Department when the dance department invited her to move the class into that area.

She became an assistant professor in what was then the Department of Theatre and Dance in 1977. In 1994, she received a three-month Fulbright fellowship to study in Tanzania, East Africa. That gave her the opportunity and time to research and begin to build an academic program that incorporated not only dance movements, but history, culture and the work of pioneering African American choreographers like Katherine Dunham and Pearl Primus.

With more than 2,000 ethnic groups with their own dances on the African continent alone, Caulker Bronson said there was plenty of material to work with.

The history courses she developed trace the paths that African dance travelled to the New World and blended with European and indige-

nous forms. Recent dance graduate Karlies Kelley, for example, discovered and researched the history of the Cimarrons, a group of slaves who broke free from the Spanish and settled in her native Panama.

“We can go to Haiti, look at Haitian dance forms tracing them back to Dahomey [an African kingdom located in the area of the present-day country of Benin],” said Caulker Bronson. “We can go to Brazil, look at Capoeira and trace that back to Angola.”

Cultures met and mixed through dance.

“When you talk about American tap, for example,” Caulker Bronson continued, “it’s an American indigenous

form that is a combination of two ethnic groups that were marginalized--the Irish culture with its clog dancing, and the African culture.

Those two coming together created this amazing American form. Without Irish and Africans, there would never be an American tap.”

In a similar mixing of diverse dance cultures, the Winterdances finale brings together dancers from all different Peck dance tracks in a performance that focuses on the African Diaspora. Choreographer Payne, for example, incorporated beginning African dance steps to make her piece work for all dancers and selected a young white male with ballet training for a lead role.

That’s very much in keeping with Caulker Bronson’s philosophy of exploring diverse cultures through dance.

“My philosophy as a teacher has been to encourage students to explore with genuine curiosity. That is key to understanding each other’s religions, history, culture and practices.”

UWM is celebrating Black History Month during February with a series of performances, films, lectures, seminars and a Black History Ball. Most events are free and open to the public. Learn more about Black

History Month at UWM at http://uwm.edu/studentinvolvement/more/sociocultural/black-history-monthat-uwm/.

Mehta knows firsthand the dangers that heart disease pose to women. “I was inspired to write this [statement] as both my grandmothers died from heart attacks at age 60 and had presented with atypical [not typical] symptoms,” she said.

Heart attacks in women often have different causes and symptoms than those in men, and they’re deadlier, too.

That’s the premise of a scientific statement from the American Heart Association (AHA) that aims to raise awareness about key differences in heart attack indicators and treatment in women.

Women who don’t recognize their heart attack symptoms won’t seek needed medical care, said Dr. Gregg Fonarow, professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“These delays in care contribute to higher mortality rates experienced by women, particularly younger women,” he said.

Worldwide, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women. Since 1984 in the United States, heart attack survival has improved for women. But the heart death rates among women still outpace heart deaths in men, according to the AHA statement.

The new statement reviews current scientific evidence, points out gaps in knowledge and discusses the need for more research in women, said Dr. Laxmi Mehta. She is chair of the statement writing group and director of the Women’s Cardiovascu-

heart attack — can differ between the sexes. Women are less likely to need stenting to open a blocked artery, but they still suffer blood vessel damage that reduces blood flow to the heart, causing a heart attack.

• High blood pressure is a stronger risk factor for women than for men. And diabetes raises a young woman’s heart disease risk up to five times higher compared to young men.

• Guideline-recommended medications are underused in women, compared to men, and women are referred less

often for cardiac rehabilitation. When they are referred, they are less likely than men to go or to finish it.

• For men and women, chest pain or discomfort is the most common heart attack symptom, but women are more likely to report shortness of breath, back or jaw pain, and nausea and vomiting.

• Black women of any age have a higher incidence of heart attacks than white women. And black and Hispanic women have more risk factors such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure

at the time of heart attack compared to white women.

The new statement “provides a comprehensive review of current knowledge and key directions needed to further reduce death and disability,” said Fonarow.

This new AHA statement was needed, agreed Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, director of Women’s Heart Health at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. “It is time that both the medical community and women address these issues and understand that open communication and awareness are critical to changing these statistics,” she said.

Mehta stressed that women need to “know their numbers” — including blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, body mass index (BMI, a ratio of weight to height) and waist circumference. “Take action to keep these numbers in the normal ranges,” she advised.

“Lead an active, healthy lifestyle and be accountable for your decisions,” she added. “This includes exercising on a regular basis, following a healthy diet and not smoking.”

TV buying guide 2016 - what TV should you buy?

By Dave James When you're looking to buy a new TV in the January sales, you want the best.

But how do you know which one to go for when there are so many different technologies, with strange acronyms, and a host of different screen sizes to deal with too? There are also a host of manufacturers, with a vast array of televisions rocking different panel technologies, operating systems, tuners, backlights and features.

Do you want a Ultra HD 4K screen; do you need high dynamic range support; is 3D of any import whatsoever? Which of the myriad TV operating systems do you want to throw your lot in with? Just how do you find out what is the best TV for you?

What TV technology is best? Which is the best LCD TV? Which screen size is best for your living room? What's the difference between LCD and LED TVs? The answers aren't always obvious. In fact, buying a new TV can be stressful even for the tech-savvy - there are so many brands, so many features, so many screen sizes, colors, technologies and flavors to choose from.

So which one is right for you, your family and your living space? In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about buying a new TV. What types of TVs are out there?

There are a lot of different screen types out there, all working in different ways to produce the same results.

Each technology has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, so here are some basics to consider: LCD TV: CCFL Until recently, all LCD TVs were backlit by always-on, CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent) lamps. This ageing technology has been superseded by the superior LED method on more expensive sets, but is still standard on some cheaper models.

LED TV: Direct LED These displays are backlit by an array of LEDs (light emitting diodes) directly behind the screen. This enables localised dimming – meaning immediately adjacent areas of brightness and darkness can be displayed more effectively – and greatly improves contrast. LED TVs are also more power efficient and capable of a wider color gamut than CCFL sets. Because of the extreme cost of mounting these arrays of LEDs, Direct LED TVs have largely been out muscled by Edge LED. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

The Panasonic TX-65CZ952 is considered one of the best TVs on the market. Start saving your pennies, for it retails for around $6000.

LED TV: Edge LED With these TVs, LEDs of the backlight are mounted along the edges of the panel. This arrangement enables radically slender displays and offers superior contrast levels to CCFL, but can't achieve the same picture quality as directly lit LED sets. However, they do come in far cheaper which is why most LED TVs out there now use this technology.

OLED TV The backlighting on OLED (organic light emitting diode) sets is achieved by passing an electric current through an emissive, electroluminescent film. This technique produces far better colors and higher contrast and also enables screens to be extremely thin and flexible. This is the holy grail display technology and only in 2014 did a bigscreen OLED TV go on sale. So it's new, it's expensive and the top brands are still struggling to get their heads around it.

To date, only LG has been able to release full sized OLED TVs. Quantum Dot As yet we're not quite at the stage where we're going to get self-emitting quantum dot LEDs, but they're a-coming. What we do have though is Samsung producing its Nanocrystal filter based on quantum dot technology to produce a seriously improved color palette and contrast levels that get mighty close to the pinnacle of OLED. Plasma TV PDP (plasma display panel) TVs use glass panels containing millions of tiny cells filled with a mixture of inert gases. Electricity excites the gases, causing them to illuminate the pixels across the screen. Plasma, while arguably superior to LCD in terms of contrast and color accuracy, is only viable on large (42in+) screens and has been dropped by all but a handful of manufacturers.

You'll be lucky to find one on the shelves these days.

Curved TV Some manufacturers are now making TVs that have slightly curved screens. But unlike old CRT TVs, the curve is inwards rather than outwards. The idea is that this makes every pixel equidistant from your eyes, delivering a more satisfying picture.

However, there are drawbacks for this type of screen - the main one being that if you sit far enough to one side – more than 40 degrees or so – the curve clearly starts to affect the image's geometry, foreshortening content near to you and compressing the image's centre.

What resolution tech should I go for?

HD HD TVs come in two resolutions. Sets with the HD ready are required to be able to display a minimum 720p picture, and generally has a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Meanwhile, Full HD TVs have a higher resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

It's highly advisable that you don't go for anything less than full HD in this day and age.

Ultra HD and 4K The resolution of Ultra HD is exactly four times higher than full HD - 3840 x 2160. It means a far more detailed picture, with content requiring a lot more bandwidth and storage space. 4K TVs tend to be good at upscaling HD video to Ultra HD but there are currently very few options for watching native 4K content. Read more about 4K. HDR Potentially the next big thing in TVs, HDR produces astounding levels of visual fidelity and can be found in some of the latest Ultra HD TVs. Arguably the shift to HDR video could make a more dramatic difference to your viewing experience than moving from HD to 4K. Like still HDR images, the moving version expands the range of both the light and dark ends of spectrum, providing more

detail for both. HDR needs new filming methods though - at the moment there is no way to backfill HDR into existing video. It also needs new TV tech too, with Samsung the only ones to create specific screens, though LG and Sony are going be able to update some of their existing stock to be compatible.

What's the best smart TV platform around today?

What else should I consider?

Buying a flatscreen television is a major investment and one that you can't afford to take lightly. Just popping into the closest store and grabbing the first plasma or LCD you see won't get you the best deal, the screen that suits your needs, or the gear you require to make the most of your new purchase.

Size matters People tend to pick the size of their flat TV based on the amount of space they have for it, this isn't necessarily wise. Flat TVs take up much less space than you might think, so your new TV may end up a foot or two further away from your viewing position, making the picture appear smaller.

Also, with hi-def, you can have a bigger screen and the same viewing distance without worrying about seeing blemishes inherent to the source. HDTV's lack of noise means that the ideal distance to sit from the screen is three to four times the height of the TV. How to calculate the right size HD TV: The trick here is to ensure that your TV is big enough to fill your line of vision, but small enough to be sharp and clear. Remember, if you intend to only watch standard-definition sources, the bigger the screen gets, the worse the image will look.

The ideal screen size can be calculated by multiplying the distance that you intend to sit away from it by 0.535 and then rounding this up to the nearest size.

So, if you sit 80in away from your TV, the ideal size is 42-inch (80 x 0.535= 42.8).

What features should I look out for?

Features are too numerous to go into here, but here are some things you should consider.

Photo viewing: If you have a digital camera, a TV that has a slot for memory cards or a USB socket for a card reader will let you view your photos onscreen.

Here are some of the things we look for when we review a screen, so you should, too.

Contrast: Bright whites shouldn't have any signs of green, pink or blue in them,

while blacks should look solid and not washed out, grey, green or blue.

Colors: Look at how bright and solid they are; how noiseless their edges are; how 'dotty' richly saturated areas are and how natural skin looks, especially in dim scenes.

Fine detail: How much texture does the screen give?

Does a tree look like a green lump, or can you see the individual leaves Edges: Check for ghosting, bright halos and jaggedness, especially around curves.

Motion: Check moving objects and quick camera pans for smearing or blurring, trailing, jerkiness and fizzing dotty noise.

Image artefacts: Look for blockiness, color bands, grain, smearing, dot crawl: anything that looks like it's added by the TV picture processing or a weak TV tuner.

Tinker with a TV's picture settings before making a final decision. Factory settings are rarely good for everyday viewing.

What about sound?

To provide the best audio to complement the pictures, your TV should be hooked up to a surround sound system, but this isn't always an option. So, here's what we listen for when testing a TV's speakers: Bass: Deep, rounded rumbles that don't cause the set to rattle or speakers to distort, cramp or overwhelm the rest of the sound; but that expand when needed.

Vocals: Voices should sound open, rich and clear, not boxed in, nasal or thin.

Trebles: Treble effects should sound clean, rounded and smooth in loud scenes and shouldn't dominate the soundstage.

Soundstage width/ depth: A good TV should throw the sound away from the TV, to the sides, forward and back, to give an extra dimension to what's on screen, without losing any coherence.

Questions to ask before you buy Taking the time to consider these questions will make choosing the best TV easier.

HD or 4K? 4K TVs are stunning and even though there is currently little native 4K content to enjoy, the good ones are able to upscale HD to 4K very well. That being said, unless you're buying a very large TV - we're talking 65-inches plus - full HD should be adequate.

Downsizing home: Does it always make sense?

By Jean Chatzky For older Americans who have watched their retirement savings shrink over the past few years, downsizing seems like a no-brainer.

Wouldn't moving to a smaller home mean lower mortgage payments and living costs?

Well, maybe -- but experts agree that a number of factors, not all of them financial, make each case unique.

"Your biggest expense is your home," says Steven A. Sass, program director at Boston College's Center for Retirement Research. "Our sense is that people who are retiring and are financially strapped should think hard about downsizing as a way to improve their income and cut their expenses."

According to the Center's research, downsizing from a $250,000 house to one that costs $150,000 could on average increase yearly income by $3,000 and reduce annual expenses by $3,250, saving the homeowner $6,250 a year.

Here's the math behind the figures: Subtracting the price of the new home from that of the old adds $100,000 to your savings. From that, subtract the cost of selling your home and moving.

"Moving is expensive," Sass says. While every situation will be different, moving can cost 10 percent or more of the selling price of your home, he says: 5 percent for the Realtor's commission, 1 percent for closing costs; 2 percent to move your stuff and 2 percent to fix up and furnish the new house.

So 10 percent of $250,000, or $25,000, brings the profit down to $75,000. Using the rule of 4 percent, a rule of thumb financial planners use to calculate how much retirees may safely withdraw from their savings annually, Sass says $75,000 in the bank could add $3,000 of income per year.

The Center calculates the cost of taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep at 3.25

Kane says. "Otherwise, they may not have enough cash flow to carry them through the transition."

Some people will cash out on the house and go into a rental, but that's a risky proposition, says CFP professional Artie Green, founder of Cognizant Wealth Advisors in Palo Alto, California. "A fixed-cost mortgage does not increase over time," he points out, while rental rates are unpredictable. "In the majority of cases, owning a home is a better financial model than renting."

The cost of transportation and gas should also be considered, Kane says. "How far will they be from the places they need to go -- the grocery store, doctors, hospitals? Will they be able to access public transportation?"

Medical considerations "A lot of older adults move out of the city without thinking about what happens when they can't drive anymore," says Jullie Gray, a certified geriatric care manager who is a principal of Aging Wisdom, a care management service based in Seattle. "It's human nature to think that things will stay the same, but as we get older, there are a lot of things we need to think about -- not only monthly expenditures but physical changes and how those needs will be met in the most cost-effective way."

On the other hand, she says, changing medical needs may make staying in place

percent of the home's value -- a figure that will also vary depending upon where you live, Sass says.

At that rate, household expenses for the old home would be about $8,125 a year.

For the new, smaller home, they drop to about $4,875 a year -- resulting in an additional gain of $3,250 a year for a total annual savings of $6,250.

However, Sass emphasizes that this example is hypothetical. Calculating costs is rarely that straightforward.

And the rule of 4 percent has been challenged recently by financial experts, complicating the issue further. The amount a retiree can withdraw from savings without risk per year may be smaller.

Other arguments against downsizing "For someone downsizing from a home they own, there are a bunch of hidden costs to consider," says Monte Kane, principal of MBAF, an accounting firm based in Miami.

"First, many factors could lead to higher property taxes, even though the house itself is smaller. Perhaps the prior home was subject to limitations. Or the fair market value of the new home could be higher."

The timing of the closings on the 2 homes could also result in unexpected costs.

"Ideally, someone who is moving should close on their purchase after they close on the sale of their old home,"

too costly to be a practical option.

Particularly in older homes, Gray says, a remodel to widen doorways for walkers, make bathrooms more wheelchair-accessible or accommodate a live-in helper could be very pricey. "Seventy percent of those over 65 will need some kind of longterm care service eventually," she says, "so it's a good idea for older adults to take a look at their homes and see if it can meet those needs."

Alternative strategies Retirees who would like to stay put but don't know if they can afford it have a number of options, Green says. One is to refinance the home.

Another is to get a home equity conversion mortgage, or HECM, a federally insured reverse mortgage for seniors that has become more attractive due to changes in recent years, he says.

"The cost of these mortgages has gone down," Green says. "And now there's an option to create the equivalent of a line of credit that you only tap into when you need it, as opposed to taking it all out."

A decision to get a reverse mortgage should be entered into carefully.

Sale-leaseback is another option, he says, but that carries the same risks as other rentals.

"The most common strategy is to sell the home to your children and rent it back from them," he says. "But unless you are very careful with legal documentation, you still run the risk of them

evicting you."

Another consideration: Your children would lose the ability to step up the home's basis to fair market value at your death, a tax break that kicks in if they inherit, rather than purchase, the house.

Homeowners might also look at potential cost savings on the utilities side, says Kane. Utility companies usually offer free surveys to help you see how you can reduce your bill. Having a plumber check for leakage and fix it can help you save on water bills.

Get help with the decision Moving to a new home is not the kind of decision seniors should make in a vacuum, Green says.

connections, while S-video is fast approaching obsolescence. Check that your new TV can hook up to older digiboxes, VCRs or DVD decks that you might want to plug into it.

Do I want to hang my TV on the wall?

First off, you'll need to consult a construction expert to check that the wall in question is strong enough to support a flatscreen. Then find out if the set you want is designed to be wall-mounted and, if so, ask if the relevant bracket is included in the basic package or as an optional extra.

Will I be connecting it to a home cinema?

If the answer is no, you might want to think more carefully about your set's audio performance. Look for a screen that can go as loud as you'll need without distortion or cabinet rattle. Consider how dialogue sounds and how much low-end rumble the bass is capable of.

Conversely, it's pointless paying out more cash for exceptional built-in speakers if you already have a decent home cinema system.

Happy shopping!

(Continued from pg 15) What size do I need?

This is dictated by the dimensions of the room where the TV is going and the amount of cash you're prepared to spend. As a general rule of thumb, work out how far from the set you'll be sitting (in inches), multiply that distance by 0.535 and then round up the result to the nearest screen size. Bear in mind that a decent smaller telly is often a more sensible investment than a larger, less accomplished one. And if you're going to buy a 4K TV, you can sit much closer because of the higher resolution.

How many HDMI sockets do I need?

For a living room TV you should be looking for a minimum of 3 HDMI inputs. If you want to attach a set-top box as well as games consoles etc, those HDMI ports will fill up fast.

Can I connect my older, analogue kit?

Most new sets carry no more than two composite

"First, the whole family needs to put together a retirement plan. Make a list of all of the things the person or family wants to do for the rest of their lives, prioritize them and assign costs. Now they can begin to back into the decision to sell or downsize."

That decision should also involve input from a financial planner or accountant, he says -- not only to make sure all the options are on the table, but also for an objective perspective.

Finally, says Sass, if downsizing does make sense, don't put it off. "Moving becomes more difficult with age," he says, "both physically and socially. If you put it off till tomorrow, when tomorrow comes, you'll put it off again."

THE

Movie Time

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“Year of Yes” by Shonda Rhimes

c.2015, Simon & Schuster $24.99 / $32.99 Canada 311 pages For far too long, you’ve been holding back.

Opportunities have presented themselves, and you’ve passed on them.

Chances have leaped in front of you and you skipped them, but you’re not sure why. Some days, you feel like you’re in a ten-foot-deep rut; in the book “Year of Yes”

by Shonda Rhimes, you’ll see how to get out.

With two babies and a “tween” at home, several mega-hit productions, and hun-

dreds of employees on her payroll, writer-creator-producer Shonda Rhimes had ample reason for turning down requests. She was busy – and she was also terrified.

Rhimes is a private person, an introvert’s introvert. She hated publicity, interviews, and foofaraw, all of which scared her to the point of panic. “NO” was a much safer word until, on Thanksgiving Day a few years ago, her sister said six words that set Rhimes back on her heels: “’You never say yes to anything.’”

A few days later, after those words sunk in, Rhimes realized how wrong it was that her sister was right. Rhimes was “miserable” and knew that she shouldn’t be, so before she was tempted to let the idea go forever, she texted a friend and vowed to say “YES” to everything scary for one years’ time.

Almost immediately, the “Universe” sent her the first challenge: an invitation to speak at her alma mater’s graduation. Next came an invitation to interview with Jimmy Kimmel and, said Rhimes when it was done, “I didn’t die.”

Shonda Rhimes She said yes to letting go of outdated ideas about motherhood. She became “a big social butterfly” before learning to say yes to play.

As an F.O.D. (a “First. Only.

Different.”), she’d already said yes to “literally changing the face of television,” but she had to learn to watch the yeses she stuffed in her face… and she said yes to weight loss.

She said yes to those who inspired her.

She said yes to compliments.

She said yes to learning how to appropriately say “no.”

She said yes to singlehood

because everybody’s “happy ending” is different. And she said yes because “Saying yes… is courage.”

With all she has on her plate – one high-profile company, three kids, four hit TV shows - you should wonder where author Shonda Rhimes found time to write a book. And you should be glad she did.

With wisdom, wit sharper than a Ginsu knife, and the warmth of a BFF, Rhimes takes readers on her yearplus-long journey, from “It’s NEVER going to get better” to a life of joy, on a road filled with potholes of selfdoubt, hairpin curves, and the realization that inviting fears into her life wasn’t going to kill her. Yes, I loved it.

Inspirational? YES, and because her TV creations are dramas, you’ll be surprised and delighted to find that Rhimes is a funny writer, too.

She’s also thoughtful, and her experiences will make you think: maybe you do need play. Maybe you do need to learn when “no” is appropriate. Maybe you do need “Year of Yes,” no holding back.

Thursday, January 28: In 2015, the convictions of nine South Carolina black men who integrated a whites-only lunch counter in 1961 were overturned. The eight college students from Friendship College and one civil rights organizer were convicted of trespassing and protesting at McCrory variety store in Rock Hill, SC. The men’s refusal to pay bail money into the segregationist town’s city coffers served as a catalyst for other civil disobedience. Inspired by their courage, demonstrators across the South adopted their “jail not bail” tactic and filled jail cells. The media attention helped turn scattered protests into a nationwide movement.

Friday, January 29: African American businesswoman, actress, multi-media entrepreneur, and television talk show host Oprah Winfrey was born in 1954. She is a native of Kosciusko, Mississippi, who was raised by her grandmother on a farm where she began learning to read aloud and gave recitations at the age of three.

Between ages six to thirteen, she lived in Milwaukee with her mother. Suffering abuse, she ran away and was sent to Nashville to live under her father’s firm discipline. Her father (Vernon Winfrey) gave her a midnight curfew, and required her to read a book and write a book report each week.

Saturday, January 30: African American administrator, politician, lawyer, and educator Richard Theodore Greener was born in 1844. After his father was presumed dead when Greener was nine-years-old, his mother moved the family to Boston. Greener received his early education at the Broadway Grammar School until he was about 14, when he quit to support his mother. Greener found several jobs and was able to support his family as well as continue his education. In his sophomore and senior year at Harvard, he won a Bowdoin Prize for elocution. In 1870, he received an A.B. degree becoming their first African American graduate. During Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt’s administrations, Greener was a prominent figure in national and international affairs. He became first secretary of New York’s Grant Memorial Association, and assisted in raising funds to finance Grant’s Tomb. In 1898, he was appointed United Consul to Bombay India, and then transferred to Vladivostok, Russia, becoming the first American to hold this post.

Sunday, January 31: In 1988, Washington Redskins quarterback Doug Williams the first black Super Bowl MVP. He was also the first African American quarterback to play in a Super Bowl game. The final score from Super Bowl XXII at Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego was Washington 42, Denver 10.

Monday, February 1: In 1960, four freshman students from North Carolina A&T College (the late David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Jibreel Khazan (formerly Ezell Blair) and Joseph McNeil) ignited sit-in campaigns throughout the ‘Jim Crow’ South when they entered a segregated North Carolina F.W. Woolworth’s lunch counter and demanded to be served.

Tuesday, February 2: Dr. Bernard Harris, Jr., became the first African American to ‘walk in space’ in 1995. Dr. Harris was the payload commander on STS-63 from Feb. 2-11. The mission was the first flight of the joint Russian-American Space Program.

Wednesday, February 3: The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1870. The 15th Amendment ensures the right to vote to all male citizens of the United States, regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. The 15th Amendment opened the door for the elections of African-Americans to the US Congress and to Southern local and state offices. New Southern governments began collecting taxes for local public schools. Unfortunately the decision to grant the vote to black men, but not women was controversial. Many women suffragists had worked alongside black suffragists to gain the vote for both groups. But when the 15th Amendment passed, it angered many women suffragists terribly, and some of them even spoke out against Black suffrage. Women were forced to wait nearly 60 additional years before passage of the 19th Amendment in August 1928 guaranteed them the right to vote. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
