a new adult, she is ready to be introduced to the community in a formal presentation known as a “debut” or “coming out.”

The debutante ball involves a good deal of social and cultural training. It gives young ladies exposure they wouldn’t normally have.They gain experience they can use throughout their lives.

That experience includes etiquette sessions, personal grooming seminars, community service, and opportunities to go to cultural

events such as plays, concerts, and art and historical museums. In addition, the young ladies work to raise money for scholarships.

Preparation for the ball also includes spending time with women from the Onyx Club and lessons in formal dance. On the night of the ball, each debutante will be doing a combination of formal dance routines for their debut dance.

This year’s debutantes are: Debutante Aiyana Aolani Brown, Port Hueneme.

Around the Tri-Counties Dissatisfaction in one’s life… E.P. Foster Library and Ray D. Prueter Library hosts the OverDrive Digital Bookmobile is the Beginning of a Dream.

Words to Live by

Dr. Lonnie G. McCowan, pastor of Miracle Center of Ventura

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan I suppose we could say a person is considered reasonable when they are content with the way things are presently. However, when we encounter a person who is dissatisfied with the status quo and endeavors to change it, they are frequently considered to be unreasonable.

This concept takes me back to a time when I was a young boy. My great grandmother played an important role in my upbringing. She was my great grandmother on my father’s side. She was continually telling me I should

be satisfied with what I had. I would always talk to her about my dreams, and even though at that time I didn’t understand a lot about life, what I did understand is I had dreams and the big dreams.

My great grandmother was a real Angel of God in my mind, but as I look back to those days, I realize there were a number of points she attempted to sell me where she was wrong.

This was one of those points. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being dissatisfied; in fact, there is a lot of good to be derived from a mind, which is dissatisfied.

It was dissatisfaction that caused Edison to light up the world, Ford to give us the automobile, the Wright Brothers dissatisfaction that introduce world to aviation, and Bell’s dissatisfaction that enabled us to speak to someone on the other side of the globe. All of these great advances were Paid Advertisement

brought to us because their inventors were, as many believed, unreasonable.

The beautiful truth is these inventors were dissatisfied.

If you are disagreeing with a present situation just to disagree, you are very likely unreasonable. However, if you are diligently attempting to improve a situation, absolutely refuse to permit someone else’s remarks, that you are unreasonable to dissuade you. It may be unreasonable to them, but don’t let that stop you from moving ahead. In the long haul they will very likely follow you.

One of the things that I’ve learned is that people do not understand “your dream” that you’re carrying it’s not that they don’t like you personally. It’s just that they cannot handle your dream.

Sometimes a person with the dream can be intimidating to those who have small dreams or no DREAM, See page 12A

VCCF Seeks Nominations for Kesa Ryono Unsung Hero Award

CAMARILLO -- The Ventura County Community Foundation seeks nominations for the Kesa Ryono Unsung Hero Award to honor a Ventura County resident who works diligently and without fanfare to better the quality of life in his or her neighborhood.

Named for the Port Hueneme community activist who died in March 2010 at age 47, the award will be presented at VCCF's fourth Community Leadership Awards ceremony in April, when the foundation recognizes organizations and individuals who have

shown exemplary philanthropic leadership.

The deadline to submit 200-word nominating statements is Feb. 10, and the winner will be chosen by the VCCF board.

Janet Bridgers, of Oxnard, won the inaugural Ryono award in 2011 for her campaign to preserve the environment. Michele Foster took the honor in 2012 for her work incorporating art as a healing tool for victims of abuse in Ventura.

At the time of her death Ryono worked at the community foundation as an associate for the Ventura Coun-

ty Civic Alliance, a VCCF initiative focused on the region's environment, workforce and communities. The mother of two daughters, she became a leader in the campaign to shut down the toxic Halaco smelting plant adjacent to the Oxnard park and beach where her girls played.

“Our President will be remembered for apprehending the most notorious terrorist of our time, Osama Bin Laden.

Additionally, his commitment to education and health care went far above and beyond what we expected from him or of him. Should we continue to rebuild our nation, individuals like President Barack Obama will be paramount to the social and economic development of our country.”

“President Barack Obama will be remembered for revolutionary healthcare, making it more affordable through “Obama Care” to Americans.”

“President Barack Obama will be remembered for the raid of the Osama Bin Laden compound resulting in the death of Bin Laden.”

“President Obama will mostly be remembered for being the first African American President of the United States of America .”

“He will be remembered for taking out the terrorist, and for being the first Black President.”

“Bin Laden. I think that Obama was underestimated and pulled off a crazy mission. They went into another country, next to a military base, and came out of there with Bin Laden. “Obama Care” is another thing he will be remembered for. The other presidents were never able to accomplish it.”

Extra Money through the Earned Income Tax Credit

By Idriys P. Abdullah The New Year has started with some of the coldest temperatures in recent years affecting everyone’s pocketbooks across the region.

Higher heating and transportation costs can make a serious dent in a family’s budget. Plus, most of us are still reeling from holiday expenses. While anticipated income tax refunds help some households make it through spring, many households don’t take advantage of the dollars available through the earned income tax credit.

Simply stated, the earned income tax credit helps millions of low-to-

(Courtesy of irs.gov) moderate income tax payers keep more of what they earn. When the earned income tax credit exceeds the amount of taxes owed, a refund is provided to those

who claim and qualify for the benefit. The credit basically reduces the amount of tax you owe which may result in a refund. District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia residents can claim the tax credit on both their federal and state income taxes. However, there are rules that govern the process for claiming the tax credit. For the 2013 tax year earned income and adjusted gross income must each be less than: • $46,227 ($51,567 married filing jointly) with three or more qualifying children • $43,038 ($48,378 married filing jointly) with DOLLARS, See page 12A

Sports News Former NFL Star Slams 49ers Coach Kobe Bryant Expected to Miss All-Star Game

Brandon Jacobs has just one regret from his nineyear NFL career and fewer nice things to say about San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh.

"I have one regret in my career. That's going to the 49ers when I could have stayed in New York.

I just wanted to see what stuff was like with another team. It didn't work out. It didn't work out for me. I wasn't liked," Jacobs said on the Boomer and Carton show on WFAN in New York. "I thought I was being held hostage because of the previous year. It is what is. I've got two rings.

Warren Moon Scammed Out of $200,000

By Chris Yuscavage We imagine that professional athletes—and former professional athletes—are approached all the time by people who want them to invest their money into things. And we also imagine that most of those people get turned down. But every now and then, an athlete will bite on something that sounds like a good idea. And that's exactly what Warren Moon reportedly did recently when a man named George French Jones approached him and asked him if he would be interested in buying a five-percent stake in the Miami Heat.

According to My Fox LA, Jones approached Moon's agent and asked him if Moon would be interested in the idea of investing in the Heat.

Moon expressed an inter-

Warren Moon est and, after speaking with the man, agreed to wire $200,000 to him in exchange for four floor seats to Heat games (the man told Moon that that money would also serve as a downpayment on a stake in the team). However, when Moon sent him the money, Jones failed to send him the tickets as promised. And a short time

later, he disappeared altogether. So Moon filed a lawsuit against Jones and also contacted the FBI and the NBA to let them know about the scam.

At the moment, Jones is still MIA. But authorities believe that he may have targeted other high-profile athletes and scammed them as well. A former New England Patriots star and an eight-time NFL Pro Bowl player have already admitted to being approached by the man, but it's unclear whether or not they gave him any money.

So stay tuned for new developments in this case. It sounds like quite the scam.

LeBron Apologizes for Using Offensive Word

LeBron James LeBron James apologized for using an offensive word during a pregame interview before his Miami Heat played the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“I used the word retarded before,” James said shortly after the Heat’s 112-95 loss to the Thunder, via the Sun Sentinel.

“Obviously, it had nothing to do with kids that are underprivileged. There’s no knock on them. It’s a word that’s been around for a long time where I grew.

It’s a bad habit, so I try to break it. If I use it again, I’m going to try to do my best not to. I mean no disrespect.”

James had used the offensive term during an interview about an hour before the game when asked a question about improvement in Thunder superstar Kevin Durant’s skills.

“I actually think that’s a pretty funny thing when people say ‘people’s growth of passing the ball.’ That is retarded to me,” James said, reported the Palm Beach Post. “Kevin Durant’s growth of being a passer?

That’s part of basketball.”

By Greg Beacham LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant is expected to miss the NBA All-Star game due to continued pain and swelling in his injured left knee.

The Los Angeles Lakers provided an injury update on the superstar guard Tuesday night, saying Bryant will be out for at least three more weeks before he is re-examined.

Bryant was voted a starter in the All-Star game, which is in New Orleans on Feb. 16 — less than three weeks away. Bryant had previously said he hoped fans wouldn’t vote for him, but the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history was elected to the game for the 16th straight time anyway.

Lakers team physician Steve Lombardo examined

Kobe Bryant Bryant after he returned from the Lakers’ two-week road trip, and the results apparently weren’t encouraging.

Bryant broke a bone in his knee Dec. 17, just six games into his return from an eight-month recovery

of his torn left Achilles tendon. The Lakers initially speculated he would be out for six weeks with his knee injury, but Bryant will be out much longer.

Bryant will continue with a program of light exercise, including time on a stationary bike. He has spoken openly of the difficulty of the rehabilitation and its slow pace.

Assuming Bryant is unable to play in the AllStar game, the NBA will pick his replacement on the West team. The West coach would pick a new starter.

Even before Bryant’s latest update, the Lakers’ injury situation was unremittingly daunting. Los Angeles had lost 16 of 19 heading into its visit from the NBA-leading Pacers.

“Despite its knowledge and controlling role in governing player conduct on and off the field, the NFL turned a blind eye to the risk and failed to warn and/ or impose safety regulations governing this health and safety problem.”

Best’s suit comes on the heels of a ruling by a federal judge that calls into question the viability of a proposed $765 million settlement of NFL concussion claims.

U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody denied preliminary approval of the plan because she’s worried the money for 20,000 retired players could run out sooner than expected. She also raised concerns two weeks ago that anyone who gets concussion damages from the NFL would be barred from suing the NCAA or other amateur football leagues.

Best was selected by the Lions in the first round of the 2010 draft and accounted for 1,000-plus yards and six touchdowns as a rookie. But he was limited to six games during the 2011 season after what he said was the third concussion of his football career. He was cut by Detroit in July.

Josh Brent and grieving and that's something he's going to carry with him the rest of his life."

Brent's family members and supporters cried and hugged as the courtroom emptied after the hearing.

His mother, LaTasha Brent, spoke briefly as she left the courthouse, saying she was there to support her son.

Brown's mother, Stacey Jackson, wasn't in the courtroom when the verdict was read. She publicly forgave Brent, and

said during the sentencing proceedings: "He's still responsible, but you can't go on in life holding a grudge.

We all make mistakes."

Jackson was the last witness the jury heard, and lead prosecutor Heath Harris said her testimony probably helped Brent get probation.

Brent and Brown, a linebacker on the practice squad, also played together at the University of Illinois and were close friends.

They were headed home from a night of partying with Dallas teammates when Brent lost control of his Mercedes and crashed.

Officers who arrived on scene saw Brent trying to pull Brown’s body from the wreckage.

Blood tests pegged Brent’s blood alcohol content at 0.18 percent, which is more than twice the state’s legal limit to drive of 0.08 percent. Prosecutors told jurors that the burly, 320-pound lineman had as many as 17 drinks on the night of the crash.

Jahvid Best Sues NFL After Concussions Cut Career Short

DETROIT — Former Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best is suing the NFL and helmet maker Riddell after concussion problems helped cut short his career.

The lawsuit was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court. It alleges the league has been aware of evidence of mild traumatic brain injuries and the risk for its players for years, but “deliberately ignored and actively concealed” the information. It also accuses Riddell of making defective helmets and failing to inform the players of the long-term effects of concussions.

“The NFL, like the sport of boxing, was aware of the health risks associated with repetitive blows producing sub-concussive and concussive results and the fact that some members of the NFL players population were at significant risk of developing long-term

Josh Brent Sentenced for Wreck That Killed Cowboys Teammate

By Schuyler Dixon DALLAS — Former Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent avoided prison and instead was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years of probation for a drunken car crash that killed his friend and teammate, Jerry Brown.

Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter for the December 2012 crash on a suburban Dallas highway that killed Brown, who was a passenger in Brent's car. Brent could have been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

He was also fined $10,000.

Brent, 25, closed his eyes when the judge read the jury's verdict. He was kept in custody after the hearing.

One of his attorneys, Kevin Brooks, described the former defensive tackle as "somber."

"I'm really kind of overwhelmed with the results," Brooks said. "It's kind of what we've been fighting for from Day 1. I'm happy for Josh. Josh is still sad

Camarillo, Calif. – Antonio Jiménez Jiménez, Associate Professor of Spanish at CSU Channel Islands (CI), has been named Administrator of the American Translators Association’s (ATA) Educators Division. Based in Alexandria, Va., the ATA is the nation’s largest professional organization for translators and interpreters, with nearly 11,000 members in more than 95 countries.

“I feel very excited and honored to represent professors, trainers and educators of translation and interpreting in the U.S.,” Jiménez said. “Ultimately, I am hoping to create a solid network of professionals that can help each other to become better instructors.”

The newly formed ATA Educators Division resulted directly from Jiménez’s efforts to establish it.

“When I see there is a need for something, I just go for it,” he said. “I submitted a proposal to start this new division because there was no association in the U.S. that would con-

After reviewing his proposal, the ATA’s Board of Directors appointed Jiménez to lead the new division. His initial goals include developing a website, blog, and other media platforms enabling ATA educators to exchange knowledge, resources, and professional experience.

Jiménez is well-acquainted with building new

platforms. After joining the CI faculty in 2003, he played a key role in creating the new University’s Spanish program, Certificate in Spanish Translation, Global Studies minor and major, and several study abroad programs. As Director of the Center for International Affairs, he leads CI’s efforts to internationalize the students’ educational experience, promoting study abroad opportunities in more than 20 countries.

One of only two ATACertified English-to-Spanish translators in Ventura County, Jiménez holds a Ph.D. in Spanish Applied Linguistics from Penn State University, as well as a B.A. in Translation and Interpretation from the University of Málaga in Spain.

Translation and interpretation is a fast-growing field, with career opportunities projected to surge by 42 percent between 2010 and 2020, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CI is at the forefront meeting that demand.

8- to 10-year-olds spending about half the time with educational content that 2- to 4-year-olds do.

According to the survey, 2- to 4-year-olds spent a little over two hours a day on screen, with one hour and 16 minutes of educational time, while 8- to 10-year-olds spent more than two and a half hours a day on screen, but only 42 minutes was considered educational. The survey was based on interviews with 1,577 parents and conducted online from

June 28 to July 24 by GfK, a research company.

The survey allowed parents to assess whether a game or program taught social and emotional skills, as well as cognitive learning related to vocabulary, math or science.

The survey said lowerincome families reported that their children spent more time with educational programming on screen than middle-income and higher-income families did. Families earning less than $25,000 said 57 percent of their children’s screen time was educational, while families earning $50,000 to $99,000 said it was 38 percent.

Michael H. Levine, the executive director of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, said that particularly for the most vulnerable children who might falter in their academic careers, “we need to have a better balance in the way these media are used.”

and allowed students to become disenchanted with education. He blames this on a lack of innovation and the inability of schools to embrace traditional teaching methods. von Vulte focuses pri-

marily on comic books as a way to remedy the ailing education system. He criticizes video games for their artificiality, but feels that comic books can engage students while promoting literacy. In his book, von Vulte gives teachers and parents the tools they need to get their child interested in reading, and more importantly, interested in education.

“I want readers to become advocates for change in their schools,” von Vulte writes, “and revive some old tenets of education that were perhaps abandoned in favor of modern curriculum, which is frankly, not proving its mettle. I want readers to become excited about education again, and take some agency in it.”

By Motoko Rich With children spending more time in front of screens than ever, parents sometimes try to convince themselves that playing Angry Birds teaches physics, or that assembling outfits on a shopping app like Polyvore fires creativity.

According to a study, however, less than half the time that children age 2 to 10 spend watching or interacting with electronic screens is with what parents consider “educational” material. Most of that time is from watching television, with mobile devices contributing relatively little educational value.

What is more, the study, by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, a nonprofit research institute affiliated with the Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit producer of “Sesame Street,” shows that as children spend more time with screens as they get older, they spend less time doing educational activities, with

TORONTO – According to the Students First organization, 27 percent of 12th-graders in the United States scored below the “basic” level of reading on the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) test in 2009. Statistics such as this not only serve as a great point of distress for Deputy Headmaster and Author, Manfred J. von Vulte, but act as the inspiration for his new book, “Comic Books and Other Hooks: 21st Century Education” (published by AuthorHouse). von Vulte, the Deputy Headmaster for Northmount School for Boys in Toronto, firmly believes that the education system in the United States and Canada has both caused

State News Jackson Bill to Encourage Young People AG Harris Files Amicus Brief for Access to Comprehensive Healthcare for Women to Vote Passes Off Senate Floor

SACRAMENTO – A bill by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (D Santa Barbara) that would allow voter pre-registration beginning at age 16 passed off the Senate floor today and is now headed to the State Assembly. The vote was 24-8.

Senate Bill 113 would not change the voting age, which is 18. But it would allow young people to fill out the necessary online or paper application to get ready to vote beginning at age 16. They could preregister online, by mail or at the DMV when they get their driver’s licenses. Preregistration could also become a part of high school civics classes, taken during the junior year, when stu-

dents are 16- and 17-years old. Once they turn 18, their registration would become active.

“It’s clear we must do more to get young people voting, and one way is to do that is to give them sufficient time and ample opportunity

to get ready to vote, ” Jackson said. “Studies show that pre-registration is a powerful way to encourage young people to become lifelong, engaged voters – which is what we need for a healthy democracy.”

“This capitalizes on perfect places to engage young people in democracy – while they are emerged in civics and government studies or applying for a driver’s license.

Pre-registration could be a critical tool in starting lifelong voting habits,” said Secretary of State Debra Bowen, California’s chief elections official.

Youth aged 18-24 stand out as an age group that is registering at far lower rates JACKSON, See page 12A

“You certainly don’t expect the government to hand your personal information over to telemarketers.”

Gorell added, “California’s Constitution considers

personal privacy to be an inalienable right, and AB 1560 honors that by requiring that Covered California keep site visitor information private unless the customer explicitly gives consent to be contacted.”

Covered California is the state’s health insurance exchange, designed to enroll people in a health insurance plan as mandated by the federal Affordable Care Act. Shoppers are not required to use Covered California for their insurance, and it is expected that the majority of Californians will continue to receive their health care coverage outside of the state exchange.

Assemblyman Gorell Introduces Legislation to Protect Covered California Health Insurance Shoppers

Sacramento, CA – Assemblyman Jeff Gorell (R-Camarillo) introduced Assembly Bill 1560, a measure designed to protect the privacy of Californians who use the Covered California website to shop for health insurance. This legislation has become necessary after it was revealed last month that the state had distributed the personal information of tens of thousands of people who visited the government website to insurance telemarketers without the knowledge or consent of these shoppers.

“There is an expectation of privacy when people provide personal information to their government, particularly in regards to

SAN FRANCISCO – Attorney General Kamala D. Harris filed a friend-ofthe-court brief in the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to strike down a lower court’s ruling that would allow for-profit companies to deny essential healthcare to female employees based on the religious beliefs of the company’s owners.

“Every American deserves access to quality, comprehensive healthcare,” Attorney General Harris said. “A woman’s access to essential services, including contraception, should not be restricted because of the religious views of her employer— particularly when the right to these services is protected under federal law.”

Attorney General Harris’ brief, co-authored by

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, urges the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Kathleen Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. that held that for-profit

businesses may exercise religion and therefore are covered by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. The ruling would deny women coverage for contraception, which is protected under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as a critical preventive service.

The brief further asks the Court to affirm the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s ruling in a companion case (Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v.

Kathleen Sebelius) that came to the opposite conclusion and held that for-profit companies could not claim religious exemptions from the ACA coverage requirement.

State Controller John Chiang completely online, and expect to be reunited with their assets within 14 days.

"After reforming one of the nation's largest lost and found programs to put property owners first and returning record amounts of assets, I am pleased to announce this latest technological advancement that will reunite owners with their lost money with greater speed, ease, and convenience." said Chiang. "For those who have put off doing paperwork

to claim smaller amounts of property, the simple eClaim tool provides a painless option."

Currently, 72% (or 18 million) of the 24.9 million lost items being safeguarded by the Controller's Office are eligible to be claimed through eClaim. Depending on feedback and usage, future editions of this tool may include a higher qualifying dollar threshold.

For tips on how to use eClaim, watch this tutorial or call the Controller's Unclaimed Property Division at (800) 992-4647.

Since January 2007, the Controller has reunited owners with more than $2.5 billion in cash that had been lost or forgotten – more than any previous Controller. As of June 2013, the Controller also returned 181 million shares of securities to owners, which is more than 30 times the amount returned to owners during the previous decade.

Controller Seeks to Speed Returns at California's Lost and Found

SACRAMENTO State Controller John Chiang introduced eClaim, a breakthrough online tool aimed at reuniting Californians with lost and forgotten money.

When the property is worth less than $500 and there is only one owner listed, this online innovation – found at www. claimit.ca.gov – may let the claimant bypass the “paper and snail-mail” process upon which the State has been dependent since the Unclaimed Property Program was first established in 1959. Instead, Californians can search for and claim their money

California Generates $56 Billion to Support Our Communities

Sacramento – The California State Board of Equalization (BOE) has released its annual report for fiscal year 2012-2013 which highlights California’s taxpayer revenue of more than $56 billion, an increase of $3.6 billion from the previous fiscal year. This money helps provide funding for community services such as public safety, roads, and schools.

“The BOE is proud to assist businesses in generating the prosperity of California and is committed to working with our taxpayers to build a better quality of life for all of us,” said BOE Executive Director Cynthia Bridges.

“The newly designed annual report provides more transparency and better explains our role in supporting our communities.”

BOE’s Annual Report 2012-2013, entitled “Supporting Our Communities: Funding a Better Quality of Life,” shows how the revenue BOE generates is crucial to maintaining state and

National News Stop-And-Frisk Appeal Dropped By Chicago Police Conducted Illegal Open-Air Mayor De Blasio Strip Searches According to Lawsuit

NEW YORK — Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the New York City stop-andfrisk court cases say the city and the plaintiffs have reached an agreement for a monitor to oversee reforms of the police tactic.

Lawyers for the Center for Constitutional Rights said that the deal calls for the reforms to take place under a scenario set down by a federal judge last year.

They say the deal calls for a monitor to serve a three-year term. The monitor will oversee a process in which those communities most affected by the stop-and-frisk tactics will provide input into reforms.

By David Lohr A Texas patrol deputy was arrested Wednesday during an undercover prostitution sting being conducted by his own agency.

Emmanuel Augustine, 29, a five-year veteran with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, has been charged with solicitation of prostitution. The charge stems from a joint sting operation conducted by the constable’s office and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, authorities said.

Augustine allegedly approached an undercover female officer early Wednesday morning by Imperial Valley. Authorities say he

“Following his identification, the administration was notified and responded to the arrest location,” the constable’s office said in a press release. “[He] was placed on immediate administrative suspension without pay pending an investigation into the incident.”

For Augustine’s safety, he was kept separate from other suspects while awaiting a probable cause court hearing. He was ultimately issued a citation and released on his own recognizance. If convicted of the misdemeanor charge, Augustine will face up to 180 days in jail and or a fine of up to $2,000.

Eric Holder Addresses Off-Duty Officer Arrested in Surveillance Concerns, IRS Probe Prostitution Sting by His Own Force

Justice Department Recommends More Commutations for Low-Level Drug Offenders

The U.S. Justice Department is launching an effort to free some of the thousands of people who are spending their lives in prison because they were convicted of nonviolent drug offenses under tougher laws than those on the books today.

Deputy Attorney General James Cole will announce the effort at the annual meeting of the New York State Bar Association’s criminal justice section. He’s asking the bar association and others for help finding potential candidates for executive clemency.

In his prepared remarks, Cole applauded President Barack Obama for taking a “first step” toward righting the wrongs caused by unduly harsh sentencing laws. Last month, Obama commuted the sentences of eight people convicted of drug offenses under a 1986 law that has since been reformed.

Yet “there is more to be done,” said Cole. “There are more low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who remain in prison, and who would likely have received a substantially lower sentence if convicted of pre-

cisely the same offenses today,” he said. “This is not fair, and it harms our criminal justice system.”

Cole sketched a portrait of the ideal candidate for clemency: “someone who has a clean record in prison, does not present a threat to public safety, and who is facing a life or nearlife sentence that is excessive under current law -with the opportunity to get a fresh start.”

The Supreme Court and Congress have softened some of the tough sentencing laws that were adopted at the height of the drug war in the 1980s. Yet as many as several thousand federal inmates are still living out their days in prison because they were sentenced under the original statutes.

“To help correct this, we need to identify these individuals and get wellprepared petitions into the Department of Justice,” Cole said.

“Through our collective efforts,” he added, “we can safeguard public safety while ensuring fundamental ideals of justice and fairness in our criminal justice system.”

Emmanuel Augustine offered to pay the female officer $10 for a sex act.

Augustine, who was off-duty at the time of the alleged incident, was partially dressed in his uniform, police said.

Top Ten Black and Minority Business Grants -- and More for Small Businesses in General

Rule Changes Tighten Reverse Mortgage Eligibility

By Jason Alderman Reverse mortgages have become increasingly popular in recent years, as cash-strapped seniors seek ways to keep pace with rising expenses – not to mention cope with the pummeling their retirement savings took during the Great Recession.

But the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) noticed that borrowers increasingly have been opting to withdraw most or all of their home equity at closing, leaving little or nothing for future needs. Consequently, by mid-2012 nearly 10 percent of reverse mortgage holders were in default and at risk of foreclosure because they couldn't pay their taxes and insurance.

For Gen Y:

That's why Congress authorized HUD to tighten FHA reverse mortgage requirements in order to: encourage homeowners to tap their equity more slowly; better ensure that borrowers can afford their loan's fees and other financial obligations; and strengthen the mortgage insurance fund from which loans are drawn.

Here are the key changes: Most reverse mortgage borrowers can now withdraw no more than 60 percent of their total loan during the first year. Previously, borrowers could tap the entire amount on day one – a recipe for future financial disaster for those with limited means.

The first-year limit may

be waived for certain homeowners whose "mandatory obligations" (e.g., upfront insurance premiums, loan origination fees, delinquent federal debt, etc.) exceed the 60 percent amount; but they'll have to pay a higher upfront mortgage insurance premium – 2.5 percent of the home's appraised value instead of the normal 0.5 percent. (Note: Credit card debt isn't considered a mandatory obligation, so those with significant credit card debt may not be able to withdraw enough to pay off their debt.)

The Road to Homeownership Starts with Saving

By Phoebe Chongchua For many people, the American dream of owning a home is exactly that: a dream. The housing crisis, the high unemployment rate, increasing debt, and tougher restrictions on mortgage qualifications, make it seem like Mission Impossible, especially for generations like Gen Y. The millennias, as they're also often called, are referred to as the group born between the mid-seventies to late nineties.

While this group came of age during turbulent economic times, homeownership is still a priority to them. It may, however, seem that factors are stacked against them. This group tends to be well educated -- many went to college -- and also have an entrepreneurial spirit that makes them creative with

Phoebe Chongchua their money.

But for Gen Y, if they want to achieve the American dream, a few critical steps will pave the way to the road to homeownership.

Get a handle on debt.

This generation likes the idea of being their own boss, working from home, tele-commuting or "side-

preneurism", the term used for people who start their own side business while still working full-time.

They can be very creative in developing moneymaking jobs with the Internet and start-ups are often part of their dream job. However, sometimes these starts-ups are funded with only their own credit cards, which can rack up a considerable amount of debt.

Like anyone interested in buying a home, focusing on reducing debt will help prepare them to qualify for a mortgage. When possible, cutting back on major expenses is a good way to start saving for that home.

For the first time, people are keeping their cars longer than ever. Many people are opting to continue with repairs and maintenance GEN Y, See page 12B

Housing Rights Center to a Host Free Workshop in Ventura

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Housing Rights Center (HRC), and the City of Ventura, will be hosting a FREE ‘Housing Rights Workshop’ for Ventura residents and community members on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 from 5:00pm – 7:00pm at the Ventura City Hall, Room 202, at 501 Poli Street, Ventura CA 93001. HRC will present information and resources regarding housing discrimination and landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities.

Topics will include: discrimination against families with children, disability rights, sexual harassment, evictions, repairs, security deposits, rent increases, substandard conditions, and much more!

Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the “Fair Housing Act,” provides protection from discrimination in all housing related transactions based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status and disability. Furthermore, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act provides additional protections against housing discrimination based on marital status, ancestry, sexual orientation, and source of income. The WORKSHOP, See page 12B

Contrary to popular belief, real business grants do exist. In fact, hundreds of Black and minority-owned businesses each year receive such grant funding from various government agencies and non-profit organizations. Such funds do not have to be repaid, but must be used to either start a new business or enhance an existing one. Others can be used for innovation research.

Five Items to Bring When Meeting Your Tax Pro

(NewsUSA) - This tax season, the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) suggests using a checklist to make sure you have everything you need when visiting your tax professional.

Given that NAEA is the professional association solely for enrolled agents -- America's tax experts -- this advice is well worth following. Enrolled agents are the only federally licensed tax practitioners who specialize in tax matters and have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. In short, they know what they're talking about.

Prepare to meet your tax pro with the following: 1. Last year's tax return or the prior two years of tax returns if this is your first appointment. Previous years' returns will list social security numbers, dependents, credits and deductions previously taken.

By Ron Busby, Sr. The Obama administration recently launched innovative Promise Zones in five U.S. cities, committed the government to programmatic efforts to increase support for those affected by unemployment, and began efforts to address income inequality among American wage earners. We are hopeful that these latest programs begin to move the needle in a substantive way.

Of course, U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC) believes that the shortest route to addressing Black unemployment is by improving opportunities to grow America’s 2 million Black-owned businesses. In fact, if each of these businesses was able to hire just one employee, it would solve Black unemployment overnight.

While this may seem to be a simplistic approach to problem- solving, it is a great illustration of what is achievable by concentrating our organization’s efforts on federal, state and

learned that the huge state with its booming economy spent less than 2 percent of its contract awards with Black businesses. Reports from California, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and other states indicate that Texas is not alone in shortchanging opportunity for Black businesses.

If the federal government is going to get serious about addressing either unemployment or income inequality, we believe that raising the minimum wage may be a good place to start… but a better place would be by enforcing statutes that drive increased utilization of Black-owned businesses in federal contracting opportunities. At a time that the number of Black businesses is skyrocketing and the number of firms ready, willing and able to perform as contractors and subcontractors on federal contracts is growing, it makes no sense that the number of these firms being awarded contracts is shrinking!

Seven Ways to Prove Your Value Four Reasons Your Diet Won’t Work at Work After 50

By Mary Furlong There is an old joke that says the closest most people come to perfection is on an employment application. Even if that’s true, career professionals who’ve recently turned 50 might be the next best example of perfection — at least when it comes to job productivity.

How can a 50-year-old bring more to the table than an up-and-coming 25-year-old or a savvy 37-year-old just hitting his or her stride?

I think it’s a no-brainer. Older workers bring a plethora of benefits to the workplace.

They have more intellectual knowledge, having spent more years honing their craft and getting to know their industry and their company.

Unfortunately, older workers still face something of a stigma due to age discrimination. Employers sometimes think: “He/she is a great worker and valuable contributor, but might be getting a bit long in the tooth. Maybe we should bring in someone younger . . . and cheaper.”

How can you fight back

against this “soft” bias against older workers? Simple. By showing management that you still possess value and are irreplaceable.

Seven Ways to Prove Your Value “Hey,” you might say, reading this. “I have all those attributes, but nobody’s calling me irreplaceable.” You need to remember that success is more than simply having the tools to succeed. Irreplaceable 50-something career professionals are: • still actively seek to get ahead. Invariably, these workers ask, “How can I make a larger contribution?”

• know the lay of the land.

They know how their workplaces operate and have figured out what most promotions there are based on.

• create opportunities — and take responsibility. Ideas are the lifeblood of the workplace. Consequently, fiftysomething workers constantly deliver well-researched ideas and then volunteer to take charge of their execution.

• become experts in their field. Yogi Berra once said that you can learn a lot by watching. True enough. Watch and listen long enough and you could soon become an expert in your field. Becoming an VALUE, See page 12B

That's the median -also considered "America's RPM" -- and it rates a "yellow," for "fair," on the color-coded retirement preparedness spectrum. But check out the full breakdown, based on data from Fidelity's much-anticipated 2013 Retirement Savings Assessment survey, and you'll see that 55 percent of households ranked only "fair" or "poor": • Dark Green (very good or better): 33 percent are on track to cover 95 percent or more of total estimated expenses, even in a down market.

• Green (good): 12 percent are on course to only cover essentials.

• Yellow (fair): 14 percent are coming up short and would likely require modest adjustments to their planned lifestyles.

• Red (poor): 41 per-

cent were so off track that significant lifestyle adjustments would be needed.

The generational differences are also eye-opening.

While Baby Boomers are in the "green zone" as a group, the reality is that being on track to reach only 81 percent of their goal pretty much rules out frills like travel and entertainment.

Gen Xers (born 1965-1977), meanwhile, made the "yellow zone" at 71 percent.

And the younger Gen Yers who harbor dreams of retiring early? Well, they do have the most time to improve their current "red" rating of 62 percent of their goal.

In fact, they -- or anyone -- can boost their retirement preparedness by using six "accelerators."

For example, if you can afford to increase your annual savings to at least 15 percent of your income (including any employer 401(k) match), it would bring the median RPM score of 74 up to 82. Another involves asset mix: By replacing portfolios that are either too conservative or too aggressive with an age-appropriate allocation, the same median RPM increases to 77.

Boomers Aren't the Only Ones Who Risk Coming Up Short in Retirement Savings (NewsUSA) - Time to start worrying what your RPM score is?

Shorthand for "Retirement Preparedness Measure," it's the absolute latest way to gauge whether your retirement years are likely to look more like "The Great Gatsby" than "Les Misérables."

(Trust us: Anne Hathaway won't be there singing "I Dreamed a Dream" in the latter instance.) And it doesn't stop there.

For the first time ever, not only does this new measure from Fidelity Investments (www.fidelity.com) reveal how close working Americans are to meeting their total post-retirement expenses, it also compares how Baby Boomers, Gen Exers and Gen Yers all stack up against each other.

Ready for the drum roll?

"The median [RPM] score indicates working Americans are on track to meet just 74 percent of their estimated retirement expense goals," -- including housing, food and health care -- "and face a 26 percent income gap," says John Sweeney, Fidelity's executive vice president of retirement and investment.

Free Service Helps Parents and Grandparents to Obtain Affordable Health Insurance

The Black Seniors Healthcare Program, a joint venture between Health Plans of America and BlackNews.com, has launched to help African American parents and grandparents (age 50 and older) to obtain an affordable health insurance plan. The program works directly with Obamacare, Medicaid, Medicare, and all the major health insurance companies on a local and national level.

The free program aims to address devastating statistics about African

Americans who still lack adequate health insurance.

Just this past December 2013, Kaiser Family Foundation released a report showing that minorities will make up 53 percent of the estimated 4.8 million low-income Americans who will fall into the "coverage gap," leaving them without viable options to obtain health insurance.

That means that minorities makeup about 2.6 million of the people in the gap.

The program's web site, BlackSeniorsHealthcare. org, allows visitors to reg-

ister for a free quote. No payment is required to receive a quote, and visitors to the web site will also have access to the top resources (organizations and government agencies) that are helping minorities who need health insurance. The service has already helped thousands of families.

For more details, visit www.BlackSeniorsHealthcare.org.

(Interested ones can sign up their parents and/ or grandparents, but only with their consent.)

By Brittany Gatson Most people who go on diets soon gain back any lost weight.

Why? What are the main things about dieting that prevent so many people from succeeding?

Educating yourself about the top four weight loss hurdles can actually help you avoid them – and finally reach your own goals.

1. Diets Are Hard To Do Most diets involve a significant change in a person’s normal eating habits over an extended period of time. But habits die hard; we cling to them because they fit in with our lifestyle and the people around us.

And changing something that is second nature to us very often results in stress – especially if that change is at odds with the habits of those in our social and family world.

Dieting is also hard because it relies on our willpower to keep us on the right track. Willpower is often very strong at the start of a diet when we are desperate to change, but it can ebb and flow with the state of our health and the pressures and triggers of day-to-day life.

2. Long Term Success The main problem with diets is that many simply don’t work long-term.

People often find that they can’t stick with a diet for a long period of time. This is likely due to the fact that many diets aren’t realistic, are too restrictive, too costly, too complicated, or too inconvenient to maintain.

Additionally, we’re hard-

wired to like foods that are high in fat and carbohydrates. Simply put: our taste buds and our brains enjoy fat and sugar.

3. Not Feeling Full Fat in food slows down stomach emptying, which helps increase the feelings of fullness and satiety after a meal. Many popular diets are too low in fat, leaving you hungry soon after eating.

These extremely-low-fat diets don’t work because you eventually overeat to compensate. On the other hand, some diets advocate going very low-carbohydrate.

Again, these diets usually aren’t successful because our bodies need a certain amount of carbohydrates to function properly. Diets that are too low in carbohydrates leave you feeling fatigued and moody. This happens because carbohydrates are the body’s preferred form of fuel needed for immediate energy (particularly for the nervous system).

4. Calorie Count Another reason some

diets don’t work is due to the fact that they’re way too low in calories. Your body needs a certain number of calories each day just to maintain normal metabolic functioning. Your lungs, brain, heart, muscles, digestive system, nervous system and cardiovascular system all require calories to work properly. If you drastically cut calories–as people often do when they diet–your body thinks it’s starving and it down regulates how many calories it needs at rest because it’s trying to conserve energy. Also, when you lose weight as a result of severely cutting calories, you’re likely losing lean muscle mass rather than fat. Because muscle burns more calories at rest, your body wants to rid itself of that and hold onto fat for energy. Then, as soon as you return to your old eating habits, the weight quickly piles back on.

If ultimately implemented, the labeling changes could reshape the multibillion-dollar market for drugs used to treat headaches, muscle pain and arthritis.

The change could make Aleve and other naproxen drugs the first choice for patients with a higher risk

for heart problems, according to Ira Loss, a pharmaceutical analyst with Washington Analysis. But he added that all NSAIDs will continue to carry warnings about internal bleeding and ulceration, a serious side effect that is HEART, See page 12B

This Drug May Be Safer on Your Heart

By Lorraine Jones According to ABC News, federal health officials say the pain reliever in Aleve may be safer on the heart than other popular anti-inflammatory drugs taken by millions of Americans.

A Food and Drug Administration review posted online said naproxen — the key ingredient in Aleve and dozens of other generic pain pills — may have a lower risk of heart attack and stroke than rival medications like ibuprofen, sold as Advil and Motrin. FDA staffers recommend relabeling naproxen to emphasize its safety.

The safety review was prompted by a huge analysis published last year that looked at 350,000 patients taking various pain relievers.

The findings suggest naproxen does not carry the same heart risks as other medications in the class known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. The agency released its memo ahead of a public meeting where outside experts will discuss the new data and whether naproxen should be relabeled. The agency is not required to follow the group’s advice, though it often does.

Microsoft Still Losing Millions Google, Samsung Lay Down Their Arms on Surface

It sounds impressive: Microsoft in its latest quarter doubled sales of Surface -- the tablet it hoped would compete with the iPad -and brought in twice as much revenue from the product as it did in the previous three-month period.

But the Redmond, Wash.-based company still managed to lose millions on its tablets.

In its earnings report, Microsoft said it sold $893 million worth of Surface tablets in the three months that ended Dec. 31, up from $400 million in the previous quarter. That was more than the $853 million in Surface sales for Microsoft's entire fiscal 2013, which ended in June. But the company's "cost of revenue" -- what it cost to sell the tablets -- was a whopping $932 million in the latest period.

Microsoft just couldn't spark sales of the original Surface RT, the supposed "iPad Killer," after it launched in 2012. The software giant was way too late to the tablet game, Surface wasn't available at many stores, and with a starting price of $500, the product failed to gain traction. The company reported a $900 million charge last summer to reflect a $150 price cut on unsold Surface inventory, and

Rare Nintendo World Championship Cart Sells for Over $99K

By Charles Poladian An extremely rare Nintendo World Championship cartridge was sold on eBay for $99,902. Af-

ter 382, the NES World Championship cart now holds the record for the world’s most expensive video game.

The NES World Championship cart is a plain gray cartridge with a torn label. The cartridge may not be aesthetically pleasing but for gamers, its importance and rarity is easily recognized. According to RacketBoy, the Nintendo World Championship cartridge comes in two varieties, standard gray and gold. The gray cartridges were given away to finalists competing in regional tournaments across the United States, with a total run of 90 units. The gold NES World Championship cart is even rarer, given away in a competition, with 26 known copies in existence. Each copy contains timed versions of “Super Mario Bros,” “Rad Racer” and “Tetris.”

The cart was sold on eBay by user muresan who says the game was purchased between 2004 and 2005. According to muresan the NES World Championship cart was bought at “an Alt Newsgroups auction held back in 1998 and purchased by thomaser in Norway. He traded to DreamTR, who sold to me maybe around 2004/05.” The user notes the condition of the cart, including the torn label, saying, “This is quite unfortunate but happened many decades ago by this point in time. No one knows the exact number of this cart (as each NWC cart was individually labeled upon production) as it appears in the upper left-hand corner of the cart label. This is known as the infamous “Mario” NWC cart that someone probably wrote on there long ago not having a clue what they actually had.”

Google Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, which are frequently involved in patent infringement lawsuits but not against each other, announced that they have reached a global patent cross-licensing agreement.

The deal covers patents currently owned by the companies, as well as any filed in the next 10 years, the companies said in a release. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The companies said the deal "would lead to deeper collaboration on research and development of current and future projects."

"By working together on agreements like this, companies can reduce the potential for litigation and focus instead on innovation," said Allen Lo, deputy general counsel for patents at Google, in a statement.

By Drew Guarini Last year with the iPhone 5C, Apple gave customers more colors, but customers more or less didn't care.

But soon, Apple may offer something the public has actually been asking for: bigger iPhones.

Apple is planning on larger displays for a pair of iPhones to be released this year, sources familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal in a report.

The two models would reportedly each measure 4.5 and 5 inches diagonally, larger than Apple's current 4-inch offerings.

In other words: Apple might finally be releasing a "phablet," or a phone more of less the size of the small tablet.

The screen size increase would be the first since Apple went from 3.5 inches to 4 inches for the iPhone in 2012. Apple is moving toward larger screens to counter rival Samsung, which has models like the

5-inch Galaxy S4 and the 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 that are becoming increasingly popular in emerging markets. In December Apple reached a huge deal with China Mobile, the country's largest carrier, to sell iPhones.

Bloomberg News reported as early as November that Apple was developing new phones with curved screens that measured 4.7 inches and 5.7 inches. While WSJ notes that curved screens, a fea-

ture recently introduced by (yep) Samsung, are not currently planned for the next generation iPhone, its sources indicated that they could still be included.

But one thing is for sure: Steve Jobs wouldn't be happy seeing his baby getting bigger. After announcing the 3.5-inch iPhone 4 in 2010, Jobs blasted rival hardware makers for producing phones so big that "you can't get your hand around it."

By Betsy Isaacson If the war over net neutrality is going to be fought in the court of public opinion, as Netflix suggested last week, then the company could learn a lot from one of its most pernicious rivals: BitTorrent.

Netflix said in a warning to investors that if Internet service providers (ISPs) started slowing down its streaming thanks to a recent federal court ruling knocking down net neutrality, the company would rally its members to "demand the open Internet they are paying their ISP to deliver."

The ruling allows ISPs to legally discriminate against some websites and services. In other words, it could mean no more binge watching our favorite shows on the streaming service -- and maybe not getting to use Netflix at all.

That's something BitTorrent knows a lot about.

In 2007, Comcast began aggressively throttling, or slowing down, BitTorrent traffic. The peer-to-peer protocol lets people trans-

fer large files without storing them anywhere, and is used to share everything from patches for games like World of Warcraft to pirated content like justreleased movies. Comcast started targeting BitTorrent, blocking uploads of complete files and in some cases even masquerading as BitTorrent users, supposedly to prevent congestion. BitTorrent's user base fought back by investigating Comcast's throttling techniques, confronting Comcast spokespeople and distributing fixes for those

who still wanted to use BitTorrent at full speed.

The entire affair was a debacle for Comcast.

Still, there’s really no indication Netflix users would react to throttling the same way BitTorrent fans did. BitTorrent users are notoriously tech-savvy and loyal; Netflix users, in contrast, exhibit what analysts at innovation research firm GfK call a “softness” to their loyalty -- a willingness to switch brands should Netflix experience a crisis or a more convenient competitor emerge.

Commentary Obama Seeks to Do Something with Do-Nothing Congress

Awakened from a Dream

George E. Curry President Obama’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night, parts of which were shared over the weekend, was designed to be upbeat and to again sketch his vision for an economically “United” States of America. But this year’s speech, like the one a year ago and like his second inaugural address, was a gallant effort to remain relevant during an era of a do-nothing Congress that will do even less in 2014.

Heading into his sixth year of office, President Obama has finally accepted the reality that he can’t change Washington.

At least, not for the better. Having already passed the Affordable Health Care Act, the signature accomplishment of his administration, Obama’s goal in his last two years will be less ambitious: to continue to improve the economy, lower the unemployment rate, expand access to early childhood education, enact immigration reform, make progress on climate control and curb the nation’s propensity to get entangled in wars that have little, if anything, to do with our national security.

With many of his proposals lost in the logjam of Congress, President Obama now plans to do more by executive order,

according to his aides.

Speaking Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Press Secretary Jay Carney said, “What we saw in 2013 was a Washington that did not deliver for the American people. The president sees this as a year of action, work with Congress where he can and to bypass Congress where necessary…”

According to the Washington Post, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer has submitted a three-page memo that outlines a different strategy for 2014.

“Among its conclusions is that Obama, a former state legislator and U.S. senator, too often governed more like a prime minister than a president.

In a parliamentary system, a prime minister is elected by lawmakers and thus beholden to them in ways a president is not. As a result, Washington veterans have been brought into the West Wing to emphasize an executive style of governing that aims to sidestep Congress more often.”

That means more executive orders and leaving the legislative haggling primarily to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (DNevada).

Obama understands that the Republican-controlled House in particular will continue to obstruct

Julianne Malveaux

whatever legislative plans he might offer.

According to the Pew Research Center, the 113th Congress is on track to be one of the least productive.” Unlike most measurements that only take into account the amount of legislation passed, Pew tallied only substantive legislation and found this Congress lacking.

Consequently, according to another Pew survey, “Views of Congress remain historically negative: just 21% have a favorable opinion of Congress while 70% view it unfavorably.

Opinions of Congress fell to a 20-year low in August 2011, following the contentious debate over raising the nation’s debt ceiling, and have never recovered.

“Large majorities across nearly all demographic and partisan groups have an unfavorable impression of Congress. About sevenin-ten independents (73%) view Congress unfavorably, as do 69% of Democrats and 67% of Republicans.”

need to read all of King, not just the passages that mollify them and make them feel good. They cannot dream a dream of social equity without working for economic equity.

I have the same criticism for my hip-hop brothers and sisters who can set almost anything to music.

Why not take the words “cash the check” and educate our young people about what Dr. King really said. The generation who can electric slide from the Negro National Anthem (I am not kidding – I’ve seen it) ought to be able to slide their way to a freedom song. Instead they mostly myopically enjoy the music, not the words.

My preacher brothers and sisters, too, take snippets of the King dream and turn it into a sermon.

Why not tell the whole story about Dr. King being rejected by his supporters when he connected poverty and racism with Vietnam. Supporters turned their backs on him. The foundation that once embraced his work dropped him because he told the truth. People who vied for his company suddenly shunned him. Now, in death, he is a hero.

In 1968, 72 percent of all White people disapproved of Dr. King, as did

55 percent of all Black people. Black folks have racial fealty, but not racial radicalism. Were it not for racism, too many African American people would embrace some aspects of conservatism. That’s why too many of us celebrate President Barack Obama without analyzing the work he has done.

Indeed, Africa American people have a schizophrenic relationshiop with President Obama. We like his swag, his confident representation of a powerful Black man. We are ambivalent about the ways he has used his power, too often to essentially ignore the challenges that the Black community faces.

He says this year will be his year of action around income inequality, poverty, and unemployment, and we all understand that action trickles down. Will it trickle down to us? Our president, he of Black man swagger and confidence, will not say.

What will this year of action mean? Five areas have been selected as experimental areas where funds DREAM, See page 13B

Marian Wright Edelman grade and so many drop out of school before graduating. Seventy-five percent of young people ages 17-24 cannot get into the military because of poor literacy, health or prior incarceration.

The greatest threat to America’s economic, military and national security comes from no enemy without but from our failure, unique among high income nations, to invest adequately and fairly in the health, education and sound development of all of our young.

We call on President Obama and America’s political leaders in every party at every level to mount a long overdue, unwavering, and persistent war to prevent and eliminate child poverty and finish the task President Johnson and Dr. King began. Twoand three-year-olds have no politics and we must reject any leaders who for any reason play political football with the lives of millions of our children and our nation’s future. If America is to lead in the 21st century world, we must reset our economic and moral compass.

While remembering that children do not come in pieces and that hunger, homelessness, violence,

Mid-January is the time when Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday is commemorated. Cities, towns, and colleges across the country lift their voices and rise up the language of Dr. King’s dream that people are judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

They cherry pick the King dream, forgetting that he also spoke to the “check marked insufficient funds” and the fact that African American people always got the short end of the economic stick.

Members of Congress, mayors and governors issue proclamations and speak to their constituents about the dream. Some of these speakers have worked in direct opposition to King’s dream, cutting food stamps, refusing to extend unemployment coverage for those whose checks were cut off on December 28, nearly a month ago. They talk the talk and they don’t walk the walk. They are marching to the dream of a different drummer.

I am writing after the fact because it is never after the fact. The hypocrites who rail about social and economic justice need to be held to some standard.

They need to be confronted about their hypocrisy around the dream. They

Beyond the Rhetoric:

It’s Time to End Child Poverty Fifty years after President Lyndon Johnson declared a War on Poverty, the United States is still not a fair playing field 4 millions of children afflicted by preventable poverty, hunger, homelessness, sickness, poor education and violence in the world’s richest economy with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $15.7 trillion.

Every fifth child (16.1 million) is poor, and every tenth child (7.1 million) is extremely poor. Children are the poorest age group and the younger they are the poorer they are. Every fourth infant, toddler and preschool child (5 million) is poor; 1 in 8 is extremely poor. A majority of our one- and two-year-olds are already children of color.

In five years children of color who are disproportionately poor, nearly 1 in 3, will be a majority of all children in America and of our future workforce, military and consumers.

But millions of them are unready for school, poorly educated and unprepared to face the future.

and parental attention all affect childhood well-being, building on best practices and sound research about the crucial importance of early childhood development, the first step to prevent and alleviate indefensible and costly child poverty is to build a quality early childhood continuum of care from birth through age 5 so that every child, regardless of the circumstances of birth or lottery of geography, is ready for school and has a fair chance to reach their God-given potential. We know if we properly support children in their early years of rapid brain development, not only will they benefit, but so will all America. This is not only the just but the smart and cost-effective thing to do.

The United Auto Workers union was once a powerful, large, proud and effective organization. It reached its prominence under Walther Reuther (1907 – 1970). His life was full of fire. He was a long-term socialist who dabbled with communism.

He even spent some time in the Soviet Union and had praise for its system. His tenure with the UAW was quite positive as he transformed “wage slaves” to a wellpaid group of workers with benefits that brought many to envy. Mr. Reuther also was involved in the Civil Rights Era. He was good friends with Rev. Martin Luther King and would participate in many of Rev. King’s events including the March on Washington in 1963. The legend died in a suspicious plane crash.

There were previous attempts on his life and I figure that J. Edgar Hoover may have had something to do with it. It was during the same time the FBI messed with Rev. King, Malcolm X and others who wanted true freedom. The FBI has a 200 page investigative report on the plane crash but will not share it with the public.

The demise of Walther Reuther has had a serious impact on the UAW.

The union began to flex its power without wisdom.

It fought for benefits and salaries that were largesse.

I lived in Detroit in the 1970’s and it was common to hear auto workers bragging about their big paychecks, lunch at the designated bar, 30 years retirement plan (30 and out).

Oh, they were booming!

Then came the 1980’s and things started changing for the worse. Foreign auto manufacturers entered the US market and created serious competition for US auto makers. We were stubborn about the changes from the Clean Air Act which has made an incredible difference for our local environment. That and the cost of gasoline threw our auto makers for an incredible spiral downward in sales and profits. We almost lost Chrysler a few times (Fiat from Italy is the principal owner now). General Motors and Ford have been on the ropes more than once also. Our auto industry has been damaged and the onerous union demands have played a role in that.

Today, the UAW is not what it once was. Since 1979, its membership has shrunk by 75%. There has been a boom in plant openings but these plants do not

cater to the UAW. They are built in rural areas to meet the Clean Air Act requirements – usually in the South. In communities that were once impoverished gigantic auto plants have become a common thing. With these plants come numerous suppliers feeding the needs of the auto makers. With that comes new housing, restaurants, hotels, retail centers and on and on. Take little Canton, Mississippi for an example. That Nissan plant hires 16,000 well paid employees and has stimulated industrial parks and an economic boom to central Mississippi. The workers are happy and they are not going to ruin their good thing.

It is not coincidental that these new plants are in Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, etc.

These are right-to-work states.

Workers cannot be forced to join a union. The size of each of these plants is absolutely gigantic compared to the standard US plants that are mostly located in the North. They are big and UAW, See page 13B

“Judge Kessler has a reputation for being a fair-minded judge and we are hopeful that when all the facts are presented, she will see that the Black media should be central to any proposed settlement,” Campbell said.

A proposed agreement was reached June 9 between the U.S, Justice Department, the Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund and the four major tobacco manufacturers – Altria, R. J. Reynolds, Lorillard and Philip Morris USA – that would place advertising in White and Hispanic newspapers and the three major TV networks. No advertising was planned for any Black print or broadcast media company.

Under the proposed agreement, the tobacco companies must purchase full-page Sunday ads in White- and Hispanicowned newspapers and commercials on either ABC, CBS or NBC network four days a week for a year. Target Market News, which first disclosed the proposed settlement said industry sources place the value of the ad buy at $30 million to $45 million.

The U.S. Justice Department filed suit against the cigarette manufacturers on Sept. 22, 1999 charging that they had violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations Act. After the companies were found guilty, Judge Kessler wrote in her ruling that the case “is about an industry, and in particular these Defendants, that survives, and profits, from selling a highly addictive product which causes diseases that lead to a staggering number of deaths per year, an immeasurable amount of human suffering and economic loss, and a profound burden on our national health care system. Defendants have known these facts for at least 50 years or more. Despite that knowledge, they have consistently, repeatedly, and with enormous skill and sophistication, denied these facts to the public, to the Government, and to the public health community… In short, Defendants have marketed and sold their lethal products with zeal, with deception, with a single-minded focus on their financial success, and without regard for the human tragedy or social costs that success exacted.”

In her initial ruling against the tobacco industry in 2006, Judge Kessler provided a list of publications where “corrective statements” should be made. It is uncertain how or if she will amend her original list beyond the two newspapers that have since gone out of business.

The National Newspaper

Friday

Publishers Association (NNPA) and the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters (NABOB), two trade associations whose members reach more than 95 percent of African Americans, filed an amicus curiae or friend of the court brief objecting to the proposed settlement. “…The Defendants targeted the African America community with advertising campaigns which were delivered in part by their paid advertisements in African American print and electronic media,” the amicus brief states. “The proposed remedy does not list any media which specifically targets the African American community. To insure that the Corrective Statements reach the population that the Defendants targeted, the Court should require the parties to jointly select alternative newspapers that specifically target the African American community.”

Judge Kessler has scheduled another hearing for Feb. 18.

Since the NNPA and NABOB went to court, the NAACP has also filed a supporting brief.

“To rectify the damage created by Defendant in their targeting of African American communities, this Court should require Defendants to use NABOB and NNPA member organizations to fulfill its remedial order. Black-owned print and visual media remain a primary method of receiving information for African Americans,” their amicus brief stated. “The NAACP fears that the current list of media sources will not effectively inform the black community of the Defendant’s illegal targeting and provide correct information in line with this court’s order.

“In fact, the Defendant corporations knew of the black print media’s reach when it used their advertising space to target African American communities.

Leaving the NNPA and NABOB member publications out of the remedial order advertising list allows the Defendant to walk away from the community that it directly targeted African American communities. As a result, the Defendants will have directly disseminated misinformation to the African American community without the responsibility of returning to correct their errors.”

After NNPA and NABOB went to court, two cable giants filed briefs asking that they be included in the settlement deal.

FOX, which has been in operation since 1986, said it should be included, saying: “ FOX Network programming is broadcast over the airwaves to virtually any U.S. resident with a working antenna and a television, reaching 99.8% of the United States population, slightly more than ABC, CBS or NBC.” In its amicus filing, Fox stated, “FOX enjoys particular popularity among younger audiences, having been the preferred network among teenagers 12-17 and men 18-34 for 12 consecutive years. It was also the toprated network for 11 of the past 12 seasons among all adults under the age of 35.”

Viacom, Inc. – the parent company of BET, MTV, MTV2, VH1, Comedy Central – filed a brief challenging the idea that the three major networks reach a significant number young people or African Americans.

“The Proposed Consent Order provides that Defendants shall cause Corrective Statements to be broadcast through 260 spots on CBS, ABC, or NBC between Monday and Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., over one year,” Viacom said in its brief. “This ignores the reality that much of the programming on those networks during those hours is not geared to reach youth and African American demographics. For example, the median age of viewers of CBS, ABC, and NBC is between 50 and 60 years old, and only 1%2% of those networks’ primetime viewers are Black adults ages 18 to 34. Moreover, pursuant to the Proposed Consent Order, Defendants could purchase the lowest-cost airtime on the least-viewed shows on CBS, ABC, and NBC and further minimize the impact of the Corrective Statements on young adult and Black viewers.”

The amicus brief continued, “The Court should not countenance this approach. Defendants should be required to target the young adult and Black markets with their Corrective Statements, just as they targeted young people and young African Americans with their deceptive advertising and marketing campaigns.”

DREAM From page 2A dreams at all. What I’ve learned to do is maintain my confidence in my “intent”. Your confidence will depend on how strongly you believe in your intent. Your intent is your goal or desire.

Without intent any action is useless and meaningless, and your words utterly devoid of power.

To be successful you need to formulate, focus on, and put all your mental energy towards your intention.

Think of it this way; although we know we can never truly be certain as to the exact outcome of any event, we can be certain about our intent. Your intent is the outcome you want to achieve. Just focus on that and nothing else.

Also it helps, before you do anything, to go inside and say to yourself confidently and powerfully, in the most authoritative voice you can muster, ‘Oh I can do this!’

Say it so you believe it, ‘Oh I can do this”. You’ll notice that the mere fact that you are saying that inside your head causes you to accept and believe the fact that what you do will be successful. So, we all know that we can never truly be certain about all the specifics of any interaction, we can always be certain about our intent.

I also want to point out this important fact - confidence isn’t certainty. This is true for anything in life. You can still be confident, but you can never be certain of anything.

I know that I’m very confident, but even with all my confidence, sometimes things don’t work out the way I want them to. That happens. However I also know that even though I am confident I know HOW to do something, and I have the ABILITY to do it, if it doesn’t work, it is not going to erode my confidence. I know if I am consistent and focus on my intent…

IT WILL happen. My point here is this - never get discouraged.

With a little practice and focusing on your intent, you WILL be very successful. So just “BE” confident in your intent and the rest will follow.

DENTISTRY From page 3A California Dental Group sees hundreds of patients a month. Yet, according to Dr. Kamran Sahabi, owner of California Dental Group, “We see an amazing number of people who need treatment and can’t afford it. We come across this every day. So I decided that we needed to address this serious health issue.” Each of California Dental Group’s seven locations now devotes at least one day per year to providing free emergency dental care to the community.

Dr. Sahabi considers the cost of the giveaway in staff time and supplies as “not really important.”

“What is important is that people understand the two main problems in dental care — tooth decay and gum disease — and that they are both preventable with good hygiene and regular visits to the dentist.”

California Dental Group’s Port Hueneme/Oxnard clinic is located at 305 E. Port Hueneme Rd., Port Hueneme, CA 93041, between Ventura Rd. and Market St. The Free Emergency Dental Care Day Clinic will be held on Friday, February 7, 2014, from 8am - 3pm. California Dental Group has been serving Southern California for 21 years and is a recognized leader in all aspects of dental services including family dentistry, dental implants, and all cosmetic dentistry procedures. California Dental Group has seven centrally located offices and is accredited with the American Dental Association and California Dental Association. The highly trained staff of dentists is licensed to practice by the Dental Board of California and all specialists are Board certified.

DOLLARS From page 3A two qualifying children • $37,870 ($43,210 married filing jointly) with one qualifying child • $14,340 ($19,680 married filing jointly) with no qualifying children Consumers must also file a tax return with the Internal Revenue Service to receive the earned income tax credit even if no taxes are owed or you are not required to file.

According to the DC Fiscal Policy Institute, the District’s earned income tax credit program, known as the DC EITC, is a key tool to increase the take-home pay of low-income working residents. “By boosting incomes and reducing tax liabilities, the EITC has become one of the most effective anti-poverty programs for low-income working families,” states the DC Fiscal Policy Institute. The DC EITC program, modeled after the federal program, is the second largest state-level EITC in the nation, and can provide significant tax relief to residents with very low incomes. While approximately 50,000 District residents claim federal EITC dollars and more than 46,300 claim DC EITC funds, many residents still do not avail themselves to these available dollars.

The DC Fiscal Policy Institute estimates that there are still roughly 7,000-11,000 EITCeligible District residents who

may not be claiming the federal or local credit, and an additional 3,600 who claim the federal credit, but not the local EITC. Fortunately, there are local resources available to assist families with accessing earned income tax credit dollars. The DC EITC Campaign (www. dceitc.org) is a citywide initiative that brings together private and public sector organizations and volunteers to educate consumers about the earned income tax credit and other income tax benefits. During the 2012 filing season, 5,500 taxpayers filed at DC EITC tax sites, claiming more than $7 million in tax refunds.

The DC EITC campaign, managed by the Capital Area Asset Builders, also offers volunteer opportunities such as client coordinator, volunteer tax preparer, foreign language interpreter and tax return quality reviewer. For more information on volunteer opportunities, tax preparation sites and consumer outreach please go to www. dceitc.org or call 877-728-3515.

Remember tax preparation sites open Feb. 1. It’s time to collect those dollars at your door.

JACKSON From page 6A than any other age group. Even in the presidential election year of 2012, while nearly 80% of all Californians registered to vote, only 62% of 18-to-24-year olds were registered.

Thirteen other states allow voter pre-registration before the age of 18, including Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wyoming. A 2009 George Mason University study found that pre-registration programs in Hawaii and Florida encouraged young people to start voting and keep voting.

The bill is sponsored by the Secretary of State’s office, and has the support of a number of groups, including Rock the Vote, the California League of Women Voters, Common Cause and Voto Latino.

GORELL From page 6A the Covered California website to compare their options were later surprised by unsolicited calls and emails from insurance salesmen who were given their information by the state.

In addition to the privacy concerns already raised, the current law falls short regarding mandatory public notification if a security breach occurs. Incidents have already occurred in other states such as Minnesota, where 2,400 people’s private information, including Social Security numbers, were leaked to an unintended recipient. Additionally, the U.S. Government Accountability Office reported that 4,172 data security incidents affected the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 2012 alone. In order to ensure consumer protection, AB 1560 would augment current law to provide that any security incident involving personal information, regardless of size or severity, would constitute a mandatory trigger of notification.

CHICAGO From page 7A with drug possession.

Jon Erickson, another of the

plaintiffs’ attorneys, told ABC Chicago the amateur video taken of the incident shows “these officers didn’t follow any of those rules” laid out for such searches, including the need for a warrant and that the searches be conducted away from the view of “persons not physically conducting the search” and under the supervision of a physician licensed to practice medicine.

The city nor Chicago Police have yet to comment on the lawsuit.

HOLDER From page 7A brought and Republicans say the investigation’s credibility been destroyed because a career government lawyer looking into the matter was a donor to President Barack Obama’s campaign.

Holder told Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, that the criminal probe is ongoing and that there is no basis to conclude that appointment of a special prosecutor is necessary.

MORTGAGE From page 8A Generally, borrowers can take the money either as a lump sum at closing (with a fixed-rate loan), or as an ongoing line of credit or monthly payments (adjustable rate loan). However, lump-sum payments are now subject to the 60 percent mandatory obligations test, so to withdraw more than that you’ll have to go the line-of-credit route, at least for the first year; after that, you can tap the remaining balance if you wish.

Under previous rules, almost anyone with sizeable home equity could take out a reverse mortgage. Now, potential borrowers must undergo a detailed financial assessment to ensure they’ll be able to meet future tax and insurance obligations.

Lenders are required to review the borrower’s credit history. They also must analyze all income from earnings, pensions, IRAs, 401(k) plans or Social Security, and weigh it against the borrower’s likely living expenses, including other outstanding debts. Those who come up short (i.e., are more likely to default) may be required to set aside money from their reverse mortgage to cover future obligations – thereby lowering the amount of equity they’d be able to tap.

The new regulations also reduce the maximum amount of home equity that can be borrowed against – 10 to 15 percent less than before, on average.

Generally, the older you are, the more equity you have and the lower the interest rate, the more you’ll be able to borrow. Note: The age component of this calculation is based on the youngest party listed on the loan.

Because reverse mortgages are so complicated, potential borrowers are required to consult an HUD-approved counselor before being allowed to apply. Do preliminary research at helpful sites sponsored by HUD (www.hud.gov), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (www.cfpb.gov) and AARP (www.aarp.org). Also check with an accountant, financial planner or lawyer specializing in elder law to make sure a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Faith Evans and Diddy Reunite Big Honor for Jay Z and Beyonce to Perform 'I'll Be Missing You'

Lucky Los Angeles concertgoers got a '90s flashback when Sean "Diddy" Combs took the stage during Faith Evans' show to perform their smash hit collaboration "I'll Be Missing You," albeit without backing from R&B group 112.

Evans and Diddy's reunion comes 16 years after "I'll Be Missing You" nabbed the 1998 Grammy award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.

The song -- a dedication to slain Bad Boy Records cohort Notorious B.I.G. -- was a massive radio hit, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Both performers took to

LOS ANGELES – Academy Award-winning actor, producer, director and 2014 Image Award nominee, Forest Whitaker is set to receive the NAACP Chairman’s Award during the 45th NAACP Image Awards, broadcast live on Saturday, February 22 (9:00 p.m. ET/PT tapedelayed) on TV One, the civil rights organization announced.

The Chairman’s Award, chosen by Chairman of the NAACP National Board of Directors, Roslyn M. Brock, is bestowed in recognition of special achievement and distinguished public service. Past honorees include United States Navy Vice Admiral Michelle Howard, Radio One Founder and Chairperson Cathy Hughes, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin, Tyler Perry, Former Vice President Al Gore and Dr. Wangari Muta Maathai, Aretha Franklin, Bono, then-Senator Barack Obama, The Dave Matthews Band, and Danny Glover.

"Forest Whitaker embodies the moniker of art-

Forest Whitaker ist/activist," stated Roslyn M. Brock, Chairman of the NAACP National Board of Directors. "His work in front of and behind the camera engages and entertains, and his service to communities around the world is truly inspirational. It is my honor and privilege to recognize Mr. Whitaker with the Chairman's Award."

Whitaker just wrapped an astounding year led by the success of “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,’” in which he delivered a moving portrayal of Cecil Gaines, a butler at the White House through eight administra-

tions and 34 years, as well as the critically acclaimed “Fruitvale Station,” on which he served as a producer. Both films garnered significant praise, including Image Award nods for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture and Outstanding Independent Motion Picture, bringing Mr. Whitaker’s total number of Image Award nominations to seven, including a win for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture in 2007 for his turn as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in “The Last King of Scotland” (2006).

Mr. Whitaker is not only a distinguished actor and filmmaker, but a humanist as well. He is a committed citizen of the world who dedicated most of his time over the past decade to extensive humanitarian work.

Mr. Whitaker was designated in 2011 by UNESCO as their Goodwill Ambassador for Peace and Reconciliation. Mr. Whitaker is the Founder and CEO of The Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative as well as the Chairman of the International Institute for Peace.

Jennifer Hudson mel, Mexico.

The new concert series is being announced as Carnival tries to restore its image after three ships broke down last year. Images of passengers stranded at sea, ships towed back to port and trip cancellations created a torrent of bad publicity for the company that depressed ticket prices and revenue.

Other performers and bands scheduled to perform in the Carnival Live series are Chicago, Daugh-

try, Foreigner, Gavin DeGraw, Jewel, Kansas, Lady Antebellum, LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride, Olivia Newton-John, REO Speedwagon, STYX and Trace Adkins.

The concerts will be held evenings when ships are in one of three ports: Cozumel, Mexico; Nassau in the Bahamas, or Catalina Island off the coast of California. The 75-minute shows will be held in ship lounges that seat 800 to 1,500 people, depending on the ship.

Tickets will be priced $20 to $40, with a $100$150 VIP option for premium seats and a photo op with performers.

Departures for the eight ships participating in Carnival Live — Sensation, Fascination, Fantasy, Imagination, Inspiration, Paradise, Breeze and Ecstasy — will be from Los Angeles, Charleston, S.C., Miami and Tampa, Jacksonville and Port Canaveral in Florida.

Jennifer Hudson to Headline Carnival Cruise Line Concert Series

By Beth J. Harpaz NEW YORK — Back when she was a nobody, long before she blasted to stardom on "American Idol" and "Dreamgirls," Jennifer Hudson sang on a cruise ship. And on Wednesday, the singer said she would do it again — this time as the headliner for a new concert series on Carnival Cruise Lines called Carnival Live.

"I used to work on a cruise ship, a long time ago," said Hudson before performing at a Carnival news conference in midtown Manhattan. "That's what I did before I did 'American Idol.'"

Her stint aboard a Disney cruise ship was "my test," she said. "Two days later, I went in and auditioned for 'American Idol.'"

Headlining the Carnival series "is like a full circle," she added.

Hudson is scheduled to perform June 18 on Carnival Ecstasy and June 19 on Carnival Breeze, when the ships are in port in Cozu-

On January 25, Shonda Rhimes and "Scandal" executive producer Betsy Beers received a Diversity Award from the Directors Guild of America.

So how does Rhimes feel about being honored in such a way? Not too great.

“When I heard I was getting a Diversity Award, I was really, truly, profoundly honored ... but I was also a little pissed off,” Rhimes said, according to EW. “So was Betsy.

So over many, many, many bottles of wine we discussed this.”

“We’re a little pissed off because there still needs to be an award. Like, there’s such a lack of people hiring women and minorities that when someone does it

Shonda Rhimes on a regular basis, they are given an award.”

Although she's right that diversity on TV should be more prominent, Rhimes has made waves in this particular area. And her empire isn't going anywhere.

At the Television Critics Association press tour, ABC president Paul Lee said that the long-running "Grey's Anatomy" would be continuing for years to come. "[Rhimes] is one of the greatest writers that our generation has seen," Lee said, according to E! "She's continuing to write an immensely powerful show. It makes you laugh and cry every week, and what season are we now? And by the way, to her enormous credit, it is completely different than 'Scandal.' And I love it. I think it's going to stay on the network for many years to come."

"Scandal" returns on Thurs., Feb. 27 at 10 p.m.

EST on ABC.

In addition to the Hollywood Awards, the 18th annual American Black Film Festival is scheduled to take place in New York City,

American Black Film Festival to Celebrate Black Cinema with Hollywood Awards

As we make our way through the Tinseltown awards season, we shouldn't forget to look ahead to next month's American Black Film Festival Hollywood Awards.

The event, which recognizes actors and film producers of African descent in the motion picture industry, is set to take place Feb. 19 during a special five-minute Web show hosted by “Real Husbands of Hollywood” producer Chris Spencer. And according to the 46-year-old Los Angeles native, viewers should expect a “Publishers Clearing House”esque show.

"I will be the Ed McMahon of today's times. Do you remember Publishers Clearing House when he would knock on the winner's door and deliver them a fat check? I'm gonna take it a step further," Spencer revealed in a statement to The Huffington Post. "The winner of the ABFF Hollywood Award won't have to wait to be home to see me.

I'm coming to your house, your momma's house, your baby's momma's house, the dentist, the doctor, your dealer's. Anywhere we think you may be, I’m coming to give you your trophy."

Winners will be determined by popular vote of the general public, inclusive of the 90,000-plus American Black Film Festival alumni around the world.

There were a plethora of notable black performances and releases highlighting the black experience this past year, leading many to herald 2013 as the year of a renaissance in "Black Hollywood."

CAC’s Positive Circle Committee Hosts Social Justice Poetry Slam Fundraiser

Spring Break College Tour: Vacation or Punishment?

Oxnard, CA—On Friday, January 31, Community Advocacy Coalition’s (CAC) Positive Circle Committee hosted a poetry slam fundraiser at Tomas Café located at 622 South ‘A’ Street, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The all age event featured a diverse line-up of talented poets and spoken word artists from the community.

Dinner and refreshments were provided as well as a number of raffle prizes donated from local businesses.

Community Advocacy Coalition is a social justice organization dedicated to improving the economic, educational, legal, health and social well-being of the African American community. They achieve this

through issue-based advocacy, leadership development, cross cultural collaboration, and by serving as a core entity, providing information, and myriad resources to underserved populations throughout the region. The body performs these responsibilities with a focus on and for the ultimate benefit of engaging emerging generations.

Josh Pinkard, a graduate from the University of Southern California in Sociology, a standout safety of the USC 2004-2005 National Championship football team and former rookie on the Seattle Seahawks, says he didn’t know what the college tour was about when he learned he was going. It was time for Spring Break and it was going to be Josh Pinkard’s birthday when his Aunt and Uncle (Irene and Bedford Pinkard) told him he was going on a college tour for a week. “I didn’t know if they were kidding or if it was really going to happen! I had planned a lazy spring break with my friends celebrating by birthday. Well, they weren’t kidding and I was going!” said Josh Pinkard.

“I had never heard of some of the colleges we toured—Southern University, Dillard University, Morehouse & Spellman Colleges, Clark-Atlanta University, and Xavier

University to name a few.

I went two years. It was fascinating to tour them and hear about how they started.” Josh said.

The southern culture was something that fascinated Josh. “I enjoyed the exposure and the culture.

Southern culture was not something I was exposed to on the West Coast. Seeing the fraternities and sororities and observing the love and camaraderie they had for each other was awesome. It was like an extended family. Watching the step shows and how members of the various groups dealt with each other had a real impact on me. They seemed to have a lot of love and concern for each other,” he stated.

Josh stated he really considered going to one of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), but football scholarships started coming. “I got scholarships from other colleges and not the HBCUs” he said,

and “they were closer to home and I could visit my family more often. We’re a close family and family is a big part of my upbringing and support system.”

“I wouldn’t give anything for that experience” says Josh. “I encourage every young person in the County to attend one of the tours. It made me who I am today.” Currently, Josh is a Correction Service Officer 1 with Ventura County Probation Agency in the Juvenile Correction Facility unit.

The College Tour featuring Historically Black Colleges and Universities is April 12 – 19, 2014. The tour will cover colleges in Louisiana and Texas. A fundraiser, “A Heart for Youth", by Pinkard Youth Institute is scheduled for Sunday, February 16, 2014 from 3-6 at Residence Inn

by Marriott. The cost is $50. Call (805) 988-2326 for tickets or donations for a student to attend this year’s tour.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by JAN A. SPEER in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that JAN A. SPEER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: March 6, 2014 at Time: 9:00 am in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile and Probate Courthouse.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0014023. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate

Page 7B

the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13549435-JB . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

If you have previously received a discharge in bankruptcy, you may have been released from personal liability for this debt in which case this notice is intended to exercise the secured party’s rights against the real property only. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may

exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of California Civil Code.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence,

priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

By C. RIOS Deputy Clerk In Pro Per Published No.: Feb. 7, 14, 21, 28, 2014-4T TCS14-0046CofN(5) NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: PAUL E. LEFEVRE AKA PAUL E. LEFEVRE AKA PAUL E. LE FEVRE CASE NO. 56-2014-00448135-PRLA-OXN

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of PAUL E. LeFEVRE AKA PAUL E. LEFEVRE AKA PAUL E. LE FEVRE. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JANE E. JOHNSON in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JANE E. JOHNSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act with limited authority.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 03/06/14 at 9:00AM in Dept. J6 located at 800 S. VICTORIA AVE., VENTURA, CA 93009 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On 2/27/2014 at 11:00 AM, Old Republic Default Management Services, a Division of Old Republic National Title Insurance Company as duly appointed Trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust, Recorded 5/31/2006 as Instrument No. 20060531-0116035 in book --, page -- of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Ventura County, California, executed by: PEDRO LEMUS, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY AND ESTEBAN LEMUS AND ANNAMIEKE R. LEMUS, HUSBAND AND WIFE, as Trustor, DOWNEY SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, F.A. A FEDERALLY CHARTERED SAVINGS ASSOCIATION as Beneficiary.

WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state).

At the main front entrance to the County Government Center Hall of Justice, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 12509 JAMES WEAK AVENUE, MOORPARK, CA 93021 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $401,030.61 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which

may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-49591.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

GEN Y From page 8A rather than have a monthly car payment. This can be an excellent strategy to help save money as long as the repairs and gas money on the older car don’t equal more than a new car payment and cost of gas, registration and insurance.

Other ways Gen Y can save are to cut the cable and home telephone cords. This can save more than $100 a month. This generation grew up with the use of computers and electronics. Many see no real need for cable or even Internet at home. Their offices are often coffee shops that offer free WiFi. They often use their smartphones and cellular data packages to watch shows and get the news. A home phone has become obsolete for many because they simply use their cell phones.

Using sites that advertise for short term rentals, some in this generation are finding they can make a little extra cash by having a roommate or placing their furnished home for rent, even for a short period such as a couple of weeks when they’re away. And, of course, some are moving back home with their parents to save up for that downpayment. The more they can save, the better prepared they’ll be to achieve the American dream of homeownership.

BUSINESS From page 8A We realize that relying solely on government contracting for business growth is shortsighted. That’s why our first line of business growth strategy for Black businesses is doing whatever we can to maximize opportunities for Black consumers to patronize them. Our local chambers across the nation are doubling their efforts to raise the profiles of their members through the Black Press, social media and other avenues. As our projected consumer dollars continue to spiral upward beyond a trillion DOLLARS, it is imperative that we become more conscientious in our efforts to support Black businesses.

We are preparing to roll out the 2014 USBC Solutions Series.

Through this program, USBC chambers and their member businesses will be kept abreast of federal policy changes, learn of improvements in access to capital, learn innovative business strategies and bridge the digital divide through technology enhancements in their businesses. Stay tuned for the host cities and dates.

• know the value of being a mentor. Invariably, a younger worker lines herself up with someone who can champion her progress inside the executive boardrooms. In virtually all cases, that mentor is an older worker willing to share his or her knowledge and experience with younger protégés.

• recognize what they are worth. Successful fiftysomething professionals always know their monetary value to their company, to their industry and to potential future employers. There’s no shortage of surveys and annual reports on salaries in the workplace. Look for them.

• take politics in stride. Older workers know how to play office politics, and more important, they know they have to play office politics.

Current labeling warns that taking NSAIDs long-term can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Patients and doctors are advised to take the drugs for the shortest time period possible.

But FDA staffers said in a memo that labeling should be changed “to reflect the more favorable cardiovascular risk profile of naproxen.”

Bayer spokesman Chris Loder said in a statement that naproxen’s safety and efficacy is “based on clinical trials, observational studies and clinical and real world use for more than 38 years.”

OBAMA From page 11A In a break from his normal over cautiousness, President Obama acknowledged that race may be a factor in the strong oppositions to his programs.

“There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President,” Obama told the New Yorker magazine in an interview. “There is a historic connection between some of the arguments that we have politically and the history of race in our country, and sometimes it’s hard to disentangle those issues.”

Obama is not the only one who thinks race drives many of his opponents. A Rasmussen poll last November found: “One-in-four voters believes racism is the driving factor behind opposition to his [Obama’s] policies.”

While Obama is unlikely to make any progress on race, he hopes that anger over huge corporate profits and record Wall Street gains will be a rallying point for both Democrats and Republicans.

According to the Tax Policy Center, the top fifth of the population receives 66 percent of taxexpenditure benefits, the middle 60 percent of the population receives a little more than 31 percent of tax-expenditure benefits, the bottom fifth receives just 2.8 percent of tax-expenditure benefits and the top 1 percent of the population receives 23.9 percent of tax-expenditure benefits. And the report pointed out, “That’s more than eight times as much as the bottom fifth of the population, and nearly as much as the middle 60 percent of the population.”

Republicans, traditional protectors of the rich, aren’t likely to join President Obama in trying to narrow the gap between rich and poor. And they’re even less likely to do so in a mid-term election year, a time the party in power usually looses seats in Congress.

ic returns accrues to the children themselves and their families, but studies show that the rest of society enjoys the majority of the benefits, reflecting the many contributions that skills and productive workers make to the economy.”

And MIT Nobel laureate economist Robert Solow in his foreword to a 1994 CDF report Wasting America’s Future was prescient when he wrote: “For many years Americans have allowed child poverty levels to remain astonishingly high — higher than for American adults; higher than for children in nations that are our competitors; higher than from the entire period of the late 1960s and 1970s, a period when we had less wealth as a nation than we do now; and far higher than one would think a rich and ethical society would tolerate. The justification, when one is offered at all, has often been that action is expensive: ‘We have more will than wallet.’

I suspect that in fact our wallets exceed our will, but in any event this concern for the drain on our resources completely misses the other side of the equation: Inaction has its costs too…”

If America’s dream continues to fade for millions of poor, near poor and middle class children and families; work and wages continue to decline; and education and basic survival needs — including adequate food and housing — continue to be ravaged to protect the powerful interests of the top 1 percent that has cornered 22 percent of the nation’s income, then America will miss the boat to the future. More importantly, we will miss a great opportunity to show the world a living and just society in a majority non-White and poor world desperately in need of moral example.

Hypocrisy and hip-hopcrisy. Elders and young’uns both speak of the dream but hardly embrace it. There is a week of commemoration and then we move on. If the dream is real, it is not a weeklong dream; it is an affirmation of those things Dr. King cared about – the eradication of poverty, social and economic equity, voting rights, and peace. We have attained none of these dreams, yet we commemorate the dreamer.

UAW From page 11A full of workers. These workers will never become union members. Thus, the UAW is up against the wall. One big question is can they afford to keep paying for those big retirement packages they settled on in the 1970’s? Probably not.

The UAW is quite desperate right now. They have to find a way to grow membership or risk destruction. Their current president, Bob King, is staking his legacy on organizing these giant plants representing international auto makers in the South. I believe he has a big problem. He wants to change a culture and way of life in a part of this nation where the people are proud and hold a natural work ethic.

How he wants to do it is “old school union” and that isn’t going to work in this high tech era.

How do you convince a person to shake down his boss simply for the hustle of it and pay a part to the instigator (union dues)?

They are doing fine and will not mess that up.

The strategy is two-fold.

One is to organize a small group of workers and have them intimidate the other workers to vote on unionizing. This is known as the “card check scheme”. Another and more insulting method is to declare unionizing as part of the Civil Rights Movement.

This has nothing to do with race, discrimination or inhumanity. They have even paid Black ministers and local civil rights organizations to protest on their behalf. The public is not going to be fooled. Detroit is officially bankrupt and Michigan is now a right-to-work state. Goodbye UAW.

When you think of food and Mardi Gras most people think of beignets. But there is another New Orleans delicacy that doesn’t get as much press and should. New Orleans native and Chef, Gisele Perez suggests that this year, when celebrating life during Mardi Gras, try this unique and mostly forgotten native recipe: calás, a traditional rice fritter that was a very popular breakfast food or dessert in Creole households in New Orleans in the early 20th century.

The history of calás is very similar to many other traditional New Orleans food, coming from both African and European heritage. The name "calás" is said to have come from the African Nupe word "kara", or fried cake. The first documented mention of them was by Lafcadio Hearn, one of the earliest Creole cookbook authors, in his 18th century cookbook. Calás have a long history of being sold by slave women on Sundays (as unlike in other places in the South, slaves in New Orleans had Sunday’s off), many of whom were able to buy their and their family members freedom.

The tradition continued among the “free women of color” Creole street ven-

Chef Gisele Perez (Photo Credit: www.PainPerduBlog.com) dors, who sold the fresh hot calás in the city's French Quarter until WWII, after which street vending stopped. These women would sell their pastries in covered baskets or bowls during the early morning.

“My mother had told me stories of her grandmother who packed her freshly fried calás in a basketalong with stuffed crabs and oyster patties, gathered my mother, her sister and their young cousins, and took them with her on her rounds,” Chef Gisele explained. “She would sell her food to worshippers exiting church after early morning Mass, revelers exiting bars after a very late night of partying, and

to workers starting their day.”

“Although I had heard these stories many times, calás were not something we normally ate when I was growing up. I had no taste memory of them, and, in fact, it was a dish in danger of dying out completely until post- Katrina, when it began enjoying somewhat of a comeback, as New Orleanians like me and most notably, Poppy Tooker, especially in the case of calás, sought to preserve and revive our traditional foods.”

Traditional calás are deep fried rice cakes, made with sugar, flour, eggs and rice and has a mention in many Creole cuisine cookbooks. They are mostly served for breakfast or brunch and a traditional treat for post-First Communion celebrations. Chef Gisele says they were also a favorite after-mass treat on St. Joseph’s Day for the expatriate Creole community in post-war Los Angeles. Calás can also be served as a dessert or snack with coffee or hot cocoa.

Mardi Gras is March 4, this year celebrate with the historic calás and Chef Gisele’s treasured family recipe for this creole delight.

Calás with Blackberry Compote

Yield: 5 dozen My mother's 90-yearold cousin, Louis, was known for his excellent calás. A few years ago, my mother and I drove out to visit him, when he took me step by step through making Calás while regaling us with old family stories.

This is his recipe. I hope you enjoy it.

1/2 pound white rice 1 pound flour* 2 teaspoons active

dry yeast 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoon freshly

grated nutmeg 1. Boil the rice in 6 cups of water. The rice should be very soft, like a watery porridge. When the rice is cooled to warm room temperature, mash

it slightly and mix in the yeast and half of the flour. Let rise overnight at room temperature.

2. Mix in the eggs, sugar, the remaining flour, and the nutmeg. The dough should be the consistency of a pâte á choux (cream puff dough). If it’s too soft, add a bit more flour.

3. Drop by tablespoons full into oil (oil should be maintained at 350 degrees), and fry until brown on both sides.

Let drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with powdered sugar to serve. *you can use self-rising flour (yes-as well as yeast), and it works perfectly well, although the recipe worked fine with regular flour, too.

While this is not tra-

ditional, I made a quick blackberry compote, of sorts, to eat with them.

Quick Blackberry Compote 1 cup blackberries 1/4-1/3 cup maple syrup Place the blackberries on a baking sheet, and pour the maple syrup over them. Roast them at 350 degrees until they begin to soften and the maple syrup begins to bubble (about 12 minutes).

Add a little water to them if the maple syrup begins to dry.

Remove them from the oven when they are soft, and mash them slightly.

Spread the compote on the warm calás.
