Talk Show Host to Present “Girl in the Mirror”

By Tim Pompey In a country and culture that overwhelms both adults and children with technology, the subject of rearing teenage girls to not only be respectful but positive about themselves is a hot topic. Internet apps, smart phones, social media, cable TV, and music all encourage young girls to be dissatisfied with themselves and their bodies. Such is the thrust of the subject matter being addressed by entrepreneur and Los Angeles talk show host Tanya Washington.

Washington, the former owner of the Express Mini Mart at Pleasant Valley and ‘C’ Street in south Oxnard, now produces her own radio program called “Can I Get a Witness?” on gospel station AM 1460 KTYM in Los Angeles. She left her business several years ago to pursue her passion which she described as “uplifting and inspiring young women.”

Around the Tri-Counties How To Stay Stress-Free Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan Life could be very stressful. I am amazed at the thousands of people every day who are stressed I’m sure everyone at some point or another has experienced stress maybe in your family, job, friendships, finances, or health.

I’m involved in ministry work and quite frankly I think it is the most rewarding and most fulfilling career that any person can do.

A lot of people think that ministry work is always stress-free but nothing could be more further from the truth. Ministry is full of stressful moments. Whether it’s a cranky member,overstuffed budgets or staff conflict, sermon preparation.

We ministers face issues in ministry that could very easily raise our blood pressure.

Jesus the most successful leader who ever lived, his life was under constant demands. Crowds were always pressing up against him, asking him

to take care of their needs.

He was misunderstood and criticized by religious people. All the time! But through it all, Jesus never got depressed or discouraged. He never gave up.

How did he manage to be at peace under pressure?

Regardless of your profession you can learn from the keys that Jesus himself used to stay stress-free.

I want to share with you some of those keys found in the Bible. As you look at these keys relate them to your life.

1. Know who you are.

“When Jesus spoke again to the people he said, `I am the Light of the world.

Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’”

(John 8:12, NIV) More than 18 times in the Bible Jesus says, “I am” He was always defining himself.

He was saying, “I know who I am.” As a result, he wasn’t under pressure.

We get stressed when we try to be someone we’re not. We put on masks and hide from others. Sometimes we do this by people pleasing. When you do that, you’re always afraid you won’t be able keep up the façade, then comes stress.

If you’ve never come to terms with who you are, it’s like trying to live a double life. With an internal sense of satisfaction about who Paid Advertisement

you are and who God made you to be. You discover who you are by discovering whose you are.

2. Know who you’re trying to please. “By myself I can do nothing.

I judge only as I hear and My judgment is just. I seek not to please myself but Him who sent me.” (John 5:30, NIV) Jesus dedicated his whole life to pleasing God—not himself or others. He realized that pleasing God would always be the right move. You can’t please everyone, so Jesus focused on pleasing his Heavenly Father instead.

If Jesus couldn’t please everyone, you can’t either.

Someone asked me how I handle criticism? I know who I am, and I know who I’m trying to please. I’m trying to please God. I’m really only responsible to him. When somebody criticizes me unfairly, I say, “I’m God’s man with God’s message for my generation.”

3. Know what you’re trying to accomplish. “Jesus answered, `Even if I testify in My own behalf, My testimony is valid for I know where I came from and I know where I am going.’” (John 8:14, NIV) Jesus knew exactly what he wanted to accomplish. You should too. Get your life organized around some basic goals. Plan your priorities.

Accessing Your Subconscious Mind The Mind Matters

By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC “You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars: you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should.” ~ Desiderata, 1692 “If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of a track that has been there the whole while, waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.” ~ Joseph Campbell Hypnotherapy can help you to embrace your place in the universe and find your bliss. It can help you to create the life you want... a healthy, happy and prosperous life. It is a process of building a bridge between what you want and what you do... a process of creating a new

reality.

Hypnosis is like a daydream, a way of directing the imagination to help mind and body bring health and strength into being, and to perform as needed.

Our physical bodies don’t know the difference between sensory images created in our minds... and sensory images in what we call reality.

Hypnosis gives us access to the power of our subconscious mind, our goal achieving machine.

And when we enter this power center, we leave behind our physical stress and experience a feeling of complete relaxation. Senses are heightened. Endorphins are produced. With the guidance of a certified hypnotherapist, perceptions and behaviors are changed.

Accept that whatev-

Are You Free?

Inez Knows

By Inez Lanns Freedom [free-duhm] personal liberty, as opposed to bondage or slavery Could you imagine being enslaved while not knowing you had the right to be free? Liberty has been granted to you, but because someone wants to control you (for their own personal gain) they make sure the information never makes it to you. All you have known is slavery your entire life, so until you are introduced to freedom you will remain enslaved. And those who try to break the system or not follow the rules end up severely punished.

This brings me to the issue of Juneteenth. One common question comes up, and that is, “What is

Juneteenth Day?” June 19, 1865 - marks the date that slavery officially ended in the United States, which was two and a half years after slavery ended in the rest of the United States. Many people are unaware of this.

President Lincoln’s Emancipation became official on January 1, 1863, which ended slavery in the U.S. However, the slaves in Texas were not aware of this because Texas had decided to separate itself from the Union. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, that General Order Number 3 was shared with them, which began with: “The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” And this is how Juneteenth Day was born.

Although we live in a country where we are physically free, many people are not living their lives completely free. Too many people care about what other people think instead of following their hearts and doing what they were purposes and designed for. Do people look at what they are passionate about and good

at when seeking a career, or do they follow a path that someone else paved for them. Often times, those people unhappily look back and later try to figure out what they should do with their lives. Media greatly influences many people telling us what’s in, what’s out, what to wear, what kind of music to listen to, etc.? Do you allow everyone else to think for you?

Do you gather information yourself? Are you doing what you like and wearing what you like, regardless of what everyone else thinks?

Birds that are trained to stay in a cage will not leave their cage if the door is left open. Although they are meant to soar and fly, they will remain caged even though they don’t have to.

They stay in the only environment that they know.

Some people are afraid to step out into what’s unfamiliar even though they feel something calling them into that direction. Don’t allow other people to dictate your life. Controlling people fear loss of control and want to control everyone and everything that they can.

CI announces Carrick DeHart’s Induction into Santa Barbara Basketball Court of Champions

Camarillo, Calif. – CSU Channel Islands (CI) is pleased to announce Carrick DeHart’s induction into the Santa Barbara Basketball Court of Champions. DeHart, a UCSB

Ray Allen Can Still Throw Down

By Chris Greenberg The San Antonio Spurs know all too well how dangerous Ray Allen can be from three-point range.

In the opening game of the 2014 NBA Finals, the Miami Heat sharpshooter showed them that he can still get to the rim.

In the closing minutes of the third quarter, the 38-year-old shooting guard attacked the Spurs' rim on a fastbreak. After shrugging off Marco Bellini outside the arc, Allen rose up over Danny Green in the paint and threw down a one-handed dunk to prove he's still got all kinds of game.

Knicks Hire Derek Fisher as New Head Coach

By Brian Mahoney Derek Fisher was never the best player, certainly not the tallest or quickest.

But whether on the court with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, or across the bargaining table from David Stern and Adam Silver, he never feared taking the shot, speaking his mind, or doing whatever else was expected of a leader.

So he has every attribute the New York Knicks need — except experience as a coach, the job they hired him to do.

"But I am experienced," Fisher said. "Basketball is a game that I am experienced in playing, understanding, leading in, guiding in, helping another group of people achieve the greatest gift in the world as a professional athlete, and that's being a champion.

That I have experience in, and that's the experience that I plan on sharing with these players, sharing with this organization."

That's what made Phil Jackson turn to one of his

Michael Sam: Carrick DeHart gets, and NBA All-Star Jamaal Wilkes.

The Court of Champions was established to recognize and honor individuals from the Santa Barbara community who have achieved outstanding accomplishments in basketball or made significant contributions to the game.

The induction ceremony took place on Sunday evening, June 1, at the Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort.

“I’m flattered to be among the honorees,” said DeHart. “Each has achieved so much, and I’m glad to have been in contact with many of them over the years. There are wonderful human connections in the game of basketball – both on the court and through community service work. Gathering all this energy in the same room is a phenomenal thing. I’m very pleased to be a part of it.”

Prior to joining CI in June 2012, DeHart was Director of Development for UCSB and Assistant Coach for the UC Riverside Women’s Basketball Team.

Rams Teammates 'Respect Me as a Human Being and as a Football Player'

By R.B. Fallstrom ST. LOUIS — Michael Sam is confident he'll be judged on performance.

The first openly gay player drafted in the NFL said there have been no issues fitting in with his St. Louis Rams teammates, no awkward moments in the locker room and that he was accepted right away.

"They respect me as a human being," he said.

"And as a football player."

Being a bit of a cut-up helps cut the ice, too. Sam skipped all of the media days last season at Missouri while saving his announcement for February, but teammates will tell you he has quite a sense of humor and is not the least bit sensitive about off-color jokes that can fly behind closed doors.

"If anybody had any reservations about who he was to begin with, he wins them over pretty quick," said wide receiver T.J. Moe, who played with Sam at Missouri. "They're laughing so hard, they can't breathe."

Defensive tackle Michael Brockers said Sam

Michael Sam of the St. Louis Rams participates in a rookie minicamp at Rams Park. was asked to stand up and tell a joke on Friday. The verdict: "Totally funny."

"We don't really focus on the outside stuff," Brockers added. "He's our brother, he's on our D-line and that's where it sits."

Working out with the full squad, Sam realizes he must step up his game to carve out a spot on a loaded defensive line. He said he's spending a lot of time poring over the playbook, too.

No doubt the Rams will give Sam every chance to

succeed. But like any seventh-round pick, it's an uphill battle.

"It's faster, you've got to learn a lot more plays, you've got to know what you're doing," Sam said after a two-hour session.

"You're supposed to perform at a high level and I'm doing pretty good."

Sam got a lot of snaps at left end with the second team defense, moving up on the depth chart because veteran William Hayes is rehabbing from an injury.

He's been getting a lot of work on special teams, where the Rams might break him in.

The Rams had one of the top pass rushes in the NFL last year with ends Robert Quinn, second in the NFL in sacks, and Chris Long both former first-round picks. So are tackles Brockers and rookie Aaron Donald, plus Kendall Langford was a major free agent pickup a year ago.

"I'm telling you, they get after it," Sam said. "I thought our D-line at Mizzou was pretty tough. This is a whole new level."

Sudoku

By Gail Robinson Eleven-year-old Matthew Votto sits at an iPad, his teacher at his elbow.

She holds up a small laminated picture of a $20 bill.

“What money is this?” she asks. Matthew looks at the iPad, touches a square marked “Money Identification,” and then presses “$20.” “Twenty,” the tablet intones, while the teacher, Edwina Rogers, puts another sticker on a pad, bringing Matthew closer to a reward.

They race through more questions. “What day of the week is it?” “What is the weather outside?” “What money is this?” In most cases Matthew, who has autism, answers verbally, but he is quicker and seems more comfortable on the device.

A few classrooms away at Eden II, a Staten Island, New York, nonprofit that provides programs for people with autism, the going is slower but the approach is the same. Anthony Scandaglia, a teenager who does not really speak, tries to identify simple activities on the iPad. “What do you use to drink?” the teacher asks. He presses a picture of a cup.

Anthony and Matthew are among a growing num-

ber of children on the autism spectrum who use electronic devices—in their cases, iPads equipped with a software program called Proloquo—for learning. Just a few years ago, they would have used bulky communication devices costing $6,000 to $10,000, if they used any technology at all. Or they would have communicated by picking out pictures and sticking them to a board.

Special education students have long used socalled assistive technologies, such as audiobooks for the visually impaired or special transmitters for hearing-impaired students. So today’s trend toward blended learning—the combining of technological devices with more

traditional instruction—may seem less jarring to these students than to their general education peers.

Some experts caution that, as with so much in the world of educational technology, definitive research about results is scant.

“There is little research on how students with disabilities are doing with online and blended learning,” says Tracy Gray, managing researcher for education at the American Institutes for Research, a nonprofit that conducts behavioral and social science research.

But others believe that children with certain kinds of disabilities, such as those on the autism spectrum, DEVICES, See page 12A

By Kimberly Hefling WASHINGTON — The popular ACT college admissions exam is broadening how it reports students' scores.

The exam's traditional 36-point scale remains unchanged. But, starting next year, students will also receive an ACT score on two new "readiness indicators" reflecting how they did in terms of career readiness and understanding complex text, the nonprofit testing organization announced.

A new category will offer students a separate score on STEM performance — short for science, technology, engineering and math — that combines the science and math portions. A second new category in the area of language arts combines how they did on the English, reading and writing portions — for those who took the writing portion.

The writing portion remains optional for traditional Saturday morning test takers, but the ACT said the writing section is also being modified to make the essay topics more advanced and to require test takers to potentially provide multiple perspectives on a topic, instead of just one view.

The announcement comes three months after the College Board, which operates the competing SAT, announced sweeping changes to that exam that include moving the perfect score back to 1,600, making the essay optional and shifting the vocabulary away from some highsounding words in favor of those more likely to be used in school or on the job. The changes are expected in 2016.

ACT officials said their changes are much more subtle and not in response to the College Board's announcement. They said the ACT changes are wellresearched and have been years in the making.

"We're continuing to polish it, but not rebuild it," Jon Erickson, president of

ACT, based in Iowa City, Iowa, said in an interview.

The ACT was taken last year by 1.8 million students and overtook the SAT in popularity in 2012.

That's in part because of growth in the number of states funding and requiring high school juniors to take the exam during the school day. Four new states — Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi and Wisconsin — recently signed on to do so, bringing to 17 states participating at this level, according to ACT. Last spring, the ACT said it would begin offering online testing and started piloting it this year.

Also, the ACT said it would begin making new open-ended questions available to districts in the subject ACT, See page 12A

State News House Adopts Bass Amendment AG Harris Issues Guide on Privacy Policies and Do Not Track Disclosures for Transit Agencies

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation authored by Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-Calif.) that would allow local transit agencies like Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to prioritize hiring local residents for highway and transit projects. The amendment was adopted as part of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill.

Currently, federal regulations bar transit agencies that receive any federal assistance from implementing local hire policies for construction and operations projects. If signed into law, state and local transit agencies will also have the flex-

ibility to focus their hiring in low-income and underemployed neighborhoods by applying geographically targeted preferences.

"Chambers of commerce, local government officials and economists all

agree that allowing transit agencies to adopt local hire policies just makes sense," said Rep. Bass. "Local taxpayers are funding the majority of transit projects, like the Crenshaw-LAX Lightrail Line. This policy will ensure that local tax dollars are creating local jobs in the communities that need them the most."

“Metro is extremely appreciative of Representative Karen Bass for championing this amendment.

This amendment would allow transportation agencies, like Metro, to establish local hire programs to build transportation projects with significant nonfederal funding, to help create jobs by incentivizing BASS, See page 12A

SAN FRANCISCO – Attorney General Kamala D. Harris issued a series of recommendations for businesses that directly address recent changes to California privacy law. The guide, Making Your Privacy Practices Public, provides businesses with an up-to-date resource to craft a useful, transparent privacy policy for consumers.

“California has proven that robust and balanced privacy protections are consistent with a thriving innovation economy,” Attorney General Harris said.

“This guide is a tool for businesses to create clear and transparent privacy policies that reflect the state’s privacy laws and allow consumers to make

Assembly Budget Committee Vice-Chair Jeff Gorell patients, this decision will result in even fewer health care options for low income California families.”

“At the end of the day, it is irresponsible to jeopardize California’s health care system by rejecting the provider rate restoration,” stated Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway.

“Reverse this penny wise

and pound foolish decision, and instead work with us across party lines to restore the Medi-Cal provider rate within the over $10 billion in new funding.”

The refusal to raise the Medi-Cal provider reimbursement rate is considered surprising since both the Senate and the Assembly had previously proposed restoration of the provider rate, and there has been bipartisan support for the restoration. The Senate proposed restoring the MediCal provider-rate reduction prospectively for most providers starting July 1, 2014.

The Assembly proposed to forgive retroactive payment reductions starting July 1, 2014, and eliminate the rate reduction for all providers starting April 1, 2015.

Sacramento – Legislation to relocate the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) from its troubled headquarters building at 450 N Street in Sacramento has passed off the Assembly floor with ample bipartisan support.

During Assemblymember Roger Dickinson’s floor speech, the author of Assembly Bill 1656 used a corroded waste-water pipe from the building to highlight why this BOEsponsored legislation is critically needed. The bill provides the necessary authorization to relocate and consolidate Sacramentoarea staff to one campus.

In 2003, California established the landmark California Online Privacy Protection Act, which was the first law in the nation to require operators

of commercial websites, including mobile apps, to conspicuously post a privacy policy if they collect personally identifiable information from Californians. In 2013, the Act was amended by Assembly Bill 370, which requires privacy policies to include information on how the operator responds to Do Not Track signals or similar mechanisms. The law also requires privacy policies to state whether third parties can collect personally identifiable information about the site’s users.

only high-rise buildings in America with permanent scaffolding surrounding it to protect employees and the pedestrian public.”

“Why should the state’s taxpayers continue shouldering the burden of paying for constant repairs on this building?” asked Board Vice Chair Michelle Steel. “It makes no sense to keep paying for this.”

The BOE has already spent roughly $60 million taxpayer dollars on building repairs and remediation. Total costs related to repairs and relocation during construction are estimated at approximately $115 million, which does not include lost employee productivity.

SACRAMENTO - State Controller John Chiang released his monthly report covering California's cash balance, receipts and disbursements in May 2014.

Revenues for the month totaled $6.7 billion, missing estimates in the Governor's January proposed budget by $389.1 million, or 5.5 percent. Year-to-date, revenues still exceed expectations by $1.8 billion, or 2.1 percent.

"While this is the first time in six months that revenues have fallen short, the overall budgetary health remains stable and there is no threat to the State's ability to pay its bills on time and in full." said Chiang.

"As lawmakers finalize their spending decisions in the coming days, my office urges fiscal restraint with an eye toward slashing the billions of dollars in debt accrued during the Great Recession."

Because the State's cash position exceeded expectations by $5 billion as of the release of the Governor's May Revision, the Department of Finance -- with the concurrence of the offices of the State Treasurer and State Controller -- did not produce formal cash flow projections for the May Revision. As a result, actual May receipts and disbursements are compared against projections provid-

State Controller John Chiang ed in the Governor's January budget proposal.

Income tax collections for the month of May came in $254.2 million, or 7.4 percent, below estimates in the Governor's January proposed budget. Corporate taxes were below estimates by $177.6 million, or 99.8 percent. Sales taxes also came in short of estimates by $98.6 million, or 3.1 percent.

As of the end of May, the State's cash reserves exceed the Governor’s January projection by $4.9 billion. This positive reserve is comprised of $3.5 billion in greater than anticipated internal borrowable resources and a cash deficit that is lower than projections by $1.4 billion. That cash deficit, now $8.5 billion, is being covered by both internal and external borrowing.

National News Tim Scott Wins GOP Primary in High School Teacher Reportedly Made Black Teen Call Him 'Master' South Carolina

By Meg Kinnard COLUMBIA, S.C. — U.S. Sen. Tim Scott easily won the Republican primary in South Carolina on Tuesday, setting up a general election that could make him the state’s first elected black senator.

Early returns Tuesday showed Scott, 48, with about 90 percent of the vote over challenger Randall Young. Scott also is the heavy favorite to win in November in this heavily Republican state.

Scott, who was appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley after Jim DeMint resigned from the Senate, took of-

Sen. Tim Scott fice in 2013 and had yet to face a statewide election.

He previously served one term in the U.S. House and gained instant attention as

one of only two black U.S. senators and the only black Republican in that chamber.

Young, 69, did no campaigning after filing as a candidate.

Richland County Councilwoman Joyce Dickerson won the Democratic nomination to face Scott. Both Dickerson and Moore are black, setting the stage for November to be South Carolina’s first-ever U.S. Senate general election between two black candidates.

American Party candidate Jill Bossi is also competing in the November election.

UPS Employees File Racial Discrimination Lawsuit

By Brett Barrouquere LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A group of eight current and former employees of United Parcel Service in Kentucky have sued the company saying they faced racial discrimination, poor treatment based on race and retaliation after they complained.

The men also contend an effigy of a black UPS employee hung from the ceiling outside the manager's office for four days.

The suit, filed in Fayette County Circuit Court in Lexington, names three managers and the company as defendants.

The men say they were punished more severely than white employees for "alleged workplace infractions." Two of the employees were fired; two others resigned, which the lawsuit says constitutes "constructive discharge."

The men are seeking unspecified damages from Atlanta-based UPS, which has a freight service center in central Kentucky.

Luke Morgan, the attorney for the men, said his clients tried to work out the issues with UPS, but the company "has given them the runaround."

"You can't make any

sense of this," Morgan said.

Susan Rosenberg, a spokeswoman for UPS, said the company disagrees with the allegations in the lawsuit and that all complaints were investigated.

"We took it seriously," Rosenberg said.

The employees, William Barber, Jeffrey D. Goree, John J. Hughes, David W. Young, Curtis A. Weathers, Lamont Brown, Glenn D. Jackson and Donald L. Ragland, said they "endured severe and pervasive comments, intimidation, ridicule and insults while working at UPS." Among the alleged incidents included in the lawsuit were “referencing an African-American employee as a ‘jungle bunny,’ stating to an African-American employee that his prostate cancer is a ‘black disease,’ remarks likening an African-American employee to a ‘monkey’.”

Complaints to the human resources department resulted in managers retaliating against them by doing “ride alongs” with the men on their delivery route “as a subtle means to intimidate and punish the plaintiffs for raising these issues,” the men said in the lawsuit.

TUSCALOOSA,Ala.– Authorities in central Alabama have arrested a 19-year-old woman they say tried to have someone she met on Facebook kill her family.

But the person she was talking to over the social media site was actually her aunt.

Al.com reports that Marissa Williams was arrested and charged with solicitation of murder.

She was being held in the Tuscaloosa County jail on $30,000 bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if she had a lawyer.

Williams had been living with her aunt in Fosters, Alabama, since April and their relationship had become strained because Williams would invite

new Facebook profile for a fake man she called Tre “Topdog” Ellis that she could use to connect with her niece and chat with her online. The aunt told authorities she hoped to get an idea of her niece’s online activity and also wanted to teach Williams the potential dangers of meeting strangers online.

Williams began chatting with the fictional man, not knowing it was her aunt.

She gave the fictional man her phone number and address, asked him to come over and get drunk with her and offered to have sex with him if he’d pay her $50 cell phone bill, according to court documents.

Goal-setting When the Goal is Buying a Home

By Jaymi Naciri Saving for a down payment can seem like an overwhelming task if you're on a tight budget. It's just plain not easy to make a plan, stay on that plan no matter what, stay motivated even when your plan goes temporarily awry, and - finally - achieve your desired result. So how do you get from "Broke wannabe homebuyer" to "Gimme those keys!"? It's simple. Just set a goal.

Marc Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban League Johnson-Crapo bill, as it is also known was voted out of the Senate Committee on Banking and Urban Affairs, May 15 by a bipartisan vote of 13 for 9 against.

Mr. Morial argued that people must stay focused on the new bill and pointed out that a glaring omission

in it is the affordable housing component of the bill.

Proponents of the bill are seemingly at odds with Mr. Morial and the coalition of organizations fighting its passage, arguing the bill is in fact important for allowing families to purchase homes using mortgages that are not guaranteed by the government.

“Real reform is clearly necessary to stabilize the housing system and renew the faith in the American dream of home ownership for generations to come,” according to a statement released by one of the bill’s co-sponsors Sen. Bill Johnson (D-South Dakota).

Opponents disagree. It will make it much more difficult for low or moderate-income first-time home buyers to realize the ‘American Dream’ if they end Freddie Mac and Fannie HOME, See page 12A

Could New Bill Jeopardize Black Home Ownership?

By Saeed Shabazz A proposed bill could potentially impact two federal programs geared toward home ownership.

According to the Reverse Mortgage Daily, the new housing reform bill would scale down and eliminate the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) known as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the lending programs which helped boost the percentage of Black home ownership.

The new bill would end the affordable housing goals of both programs and would be replaced with a new agency the Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation, a government re-insurer, Marc Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban league explained to The Final Call.

Lot Shortages to Inflate New Home Prices

Nearly 60 percent of builders report that the overall supply of developed lots in their areas is "low" or "very low," marking the largest percentage since the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index began tracking such information in 1997.

A shortage of buildable lots will likely translate into higher prices for new homes.

Thirty-nine percent of builders surveyed say the price of developed "A" lots — which are considered the most desirable locations — is "somewhat higher" than it was a year ago, while 30 percent note the price is "substantially higher." Eighteen percent of builders say the price of "B" lots — which are considered to be in good locations but not prime areas — is substantially higher than a year ago, and 10 percent say the price of "C" lots is substantially higher.

Home buyers can expect 100 percent of the increased lot costs to be passed on to them via a higher sales price, says David Crowe, NAHB's chief economist.

"Builders price homes based on what they are going to have to pay for all the ingredients," Crowe told The Wall Street Journal. "If they are starting to pay more for lots, they are going to have to pass that on right away."

To the roughly 1.6 million college graduates in the class of 2014: You have my heartiest congratulations – and my sympathies.

I graduated during the early 1990s recession when finding a decent job was very difficult, so I have an inkling of the challenges many of you now face.

Although the job-search technology available has changed considerably since then, as someone who is now on the other side of screening candidates, I can tell you many of the underlying principles for waging a successful search remain the same.

Let me share a few: Stand out from the crowd. You'll probably be competing with dozens, if not hundreds, of applicants for most jobs, so: • Tailor your resume and cover letter to highlight education, skills and experience relevant to the position – check out Mon-

ster.com's Resume Center for writing tips.

• If your work history is brief, play up education highlights, volunteer or internship positions, awards, organizational memberships, etc.

• Have strong references – and make sure they're willing to speak or write a letter of recommendation on your behalf.

• Proofread everything carefully and ask a trusted acquaintance to review.

Before applying, research the company to make sure it's a good fit. If you do get called for an interview, kick it up a notch: • Make sure you understand the company's products, services and customer base.

• Examine their business structure and how your potential department fits in.

• Research competitors so you understand the business environment in which they operate.

• Investigate their social

Employers are forced to do more with fewer resources, so they seek employees who are focused, polished and willing to work hard. I've spoken to numerous hiring managers who say many candidates they see don't convey those qualities. A few tips: • Google yourself.

• Show up – on time – for interviews dressed appropriately, with copies of your resume, work samples and any requested materials.

Shopping for Life Insurance Now as Easy as Booking a Hotel Room (NewsUSA) - Talk about annoying.

Here you are, trying to keep your family from being left destitute when you die, and -- unlike all those travel websites we're accustomed to -- you can't get a simple price quote online for life insurance without first supplying more personal details than you'd be comfortable telling your best friend.

And even if you do (grudgingly) supply the information, somehow you never learn the actual cost until some insurance company salesman calls you back.

And keeps calling you back -- perhaps pitching more insurance than you need.

Well, now there's a new website, www.CoverYoo. com, that's getting rave reviews for being -- to keep the travel analogy going -- "the Kayak.com of Life Insurance," as one trade journal put it.

Not only does the site let you anonymously comparison shop for differ-

"You feel like you've done your homework when you go to CoverYoo," says Chief Technology Officer Todd Albert. "And once you see the price, it's totally

up to you whether you want to talk to an agent or not."

You also feel like you're getting the straight dope.

Case in point: While many in the industry speak in crisis terms about the estimated 39 percent of Americans who lack life insurance, CoverYoo.com says straight out that "odds are that you don't need (it)" if you fall into certain categories (i.e., single and no children).

Free Home Safety Checks Available How Cleaning Can Affect Your Asthma for Ventura County Seniors

In recognition of National Safety Month, the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Ventura County is offering free home safety checks for area seniors. Conducted by local senior care experts, the safety checks will be offered throughout the month of June.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 20 million seniors ages 65 and older visit the emergency room each year with almost a third of the visits related to injuries, many of which are sustained in the home. However, almost half of all home accidents by seniors (48 percent) can be avoided according to a recent survey of emergency room doctors, conducted by the Home Instead Senior Care® network “The home should be the safest and most comfortable place for aging seniors,” says Laurie Reid, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Ventura County. “It is critical for families and seniors to invest the time in identifying the necessary home safety modifications to en-

Home Instead Senior Care is offering free home safety checks for Ventura County seniors. (Photo courtesy: www. makinghomesaferforseniors.com) sure it stays that way.”

Senior home safety experts recommend that adult children of seniors take at least one day each year to perform a thorough safety check of their parents’ home.

“An annual safety check can help seniors avoid dangers that could threaten their independence,” said Reid. “When we go into homes, we see a lot of red flags that are easily overlooked by those who are familiar with the home.

Most of the time, these are

Thinking About Retirement and Social Security? It Pays to Wait

(NewsUSA) - Waiting to take Social Security retirement benefits can increase your monthly benefit as much as 76 percent, according to a new toolkit, "When to Take Social Security: It Pays to Wait," released by the nonpartisan National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI).

The toolkit includes a three-minute video, a one-page fact sheet and a 16-page brief to educate workers nearing retirement about the advantages of delaying their Social Security benefits beyond age 62, if they can.

Key messages for older workers include: (1) If you need Social Security to make ends meet, take it -- you've earned it. (2) But if you can wait, even a year or two, your monthly benefit will be higher -- for the rest of your life. (3) If you are married, you have two lives to plan for. If you are the higher earner, waiting to take Social Security means a higher survivor benefit for your spouse if

By Lisa McElroy Most employers realize that age is not a legal – or valid – reason to terminate an employee. That doesn’t stop some companies from trying to circumvent the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by asking terminated employees to sign waivers that promise never to sue for age discrimination.

That’s what happened to Robert Fisk, an underground miner for Colorado’s Mountain Coal Company. Laying off Fisk, an eight-year employee, in 2009, MCC required him to sign a waiver to receive severance pay and benefits. Fisk later sued, claiming the waiver was unenforceable under the Older

Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), a 1990 amendment to the ADEA. OWBPA assures that age discrimination claims may not be waived by an employee as a condition of receiving a severance package unless an employer “strictly complies” with very specific steps.

For example, an employer must tell an employee that before signing an ADEA waiver he should see a lawyer to explain the terms. The waiver Mountain Coal asked Fisk to sign did not include such a provision, and the court found the waiver invalid.

According to the federal trial court in Colorado, Fisk retained his right to sue.

Age Discrimination Claim Valid Despite Waiver

According to Dan Kohrman, a senior attorney for the AARP Litigation Foundation, the decision is significant. “Because of the OWBPA,” Kohrman says, “some victims of age discrimination can challenge age discrimination when they are terminated despite waivers they are routinely asked to sign upon termination, which declare that terminated employees cannot sue.”

In other words, simply because you signed an agreement not to sue doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t. Be sure to consult with an attorney before signing any such waiver, and don’t be reluctant to seek legal counsel even if you’ve already signed one.

By M. Brooks When you have allergic asthma, it’s a sad reality that the very place you love and spend the most time may be your #1 site of allergen triggers. Keeping a clean home free of dust, pet hair and other particles floating through the air is a large part of managing your asthma, but the cleaning process itself can provoke an allergic reaction.

If you are stuck with the responsibility of cleaning house, protect yourself using the following tips.

1. Wear a face mask to block inhaling debris and chemicals. High-quality masks can be purchased at your local hardware store.

2. Wash your cleaning clothes in hot water. Hot water can effectively kill dust mites.

3. Wear plastic gloves and toss them immediately afterward, or rinse before storing away.

4. Use a wet towel to pick up dust so that it doesn’t fly all over.

5. Always shower after

you clean.

6. Use a vacuum with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) filter. Unlike regular vacuums, those with HEPA filters don’t release allergens back into the air.

for your skin; it’s all about WHERE you swim. If you’re vacationing near the sea, the salt water can help remove dead skin. The chlorine in regular pool water and make your skin drier and cause a flare-up, but if you do take a dip in the pool, be sure to shower afterwards and pat yourself dry with a towel (instead of rubbing).

3. Monitor your time in the sun.

In most cases, sun helps reduce inflammation but it’s important to know that some medications used to treat psoriasis can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Talk with your doctor about how much exposure is right for you

and your treatment plan.

Increase your time in the sun gradually if allowed.

4. Limit alcohol.

Studies show that heavy drinking can trigger psoriasis and possibly make treatments less effective.

5. Use moisturizer.

If you spend extended amounts of time under air conditioning (home, office, public transportation), use moisturizer daily to keep the skin soft. AC can strip the skin of its natural moisture, causing a flare-up.

6. Stay cool.

Sweat can irritate your skin, making your psoriasis worse. Dampen a clean washcloth in cool water and gently wipe away sweat from your skin (especially your face) to stay cool and dry.

7. Avoid cuts and scrapes.

Trauma to the skin, like cuts and even bug bites, can cause new psoriasis lesions to form. If you’re using bug repellent on your skin to protect yourself from insects, use one with a low percentage of DEET, the main active ingredient in most insect repellents.

Seven Ways to Keep Psoriasis from Ruining Your Summer

By Gwendolyn Harris Psoriasis – known for it’s red, scaly patches on the skin – is one of the most common autoimmune diseases and although African Americans are less likely to get it, when we do get it, it’s often more severe and causes more psychological effects. There’s no cure for psoriasis, but thankfully, most people see improvements during the spring and summer. The increased humidity and time in the sun is a natural prescription for the skin, but the warmer months can also introduce some special challenges for managing your psoriasis.

Enjoy your summer and avoid triggering a flare-up by following the tips below.

1. Always use sunscreen.

Getting even mild sunburn can increase your risk of a psoriasis flare-up and new plaques forming. Dermatologists recommend using a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects from both UVA and UVB rays. Use fragrantfree sunscreens, as fragrances can irritate your skin.

2. Go swimming.

Swimming can be good

Can Tai Chi Really Slow Aging?

By Shelley Emling Seeking to roll back the clock? Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art, may be the answer.

A new study published in Cell Transplantation found that Tai Chi can help raise the numbers of a stem cell -- CD34 cells -- important to a number of the body's functions and structures.

To evaluate the potential life-lengthening effect of Tai Chi, researchers conducted a year-long study comparing the rejuvenating and anti-aging effects among three groups of volunteers under age 25 who engaged in either Tai Chi, brisk walking or no exercise at all.

"We used young volunteers because they have better cell-renewing abilities than the old population and we also wanted to avoid having chronic diseases and medications as interfering factors," said study author Dr. Shinn-Zong Lin of the China Medical University Hospital, Taiwan.

Verizon Sends Cease-and-Desist Soon You Won't Have to Type in Your Letter Over Netflix's Public Jab Credit Card Number on Your iPhone

Verizon isn't going to take an insult from Netflix sitting down.

The broadband company sent a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix about a message Netflix has been showing some customers that blames congestion on Verizon's network for slow network speeds, according to a CNBC report.

Netflix subscribers have begun noticing that when videos stop streaming properly, a message appears on the screen indicating that congestion on an Internet service provider's network is to blame for the interruption. Vox Media designer and Verizon customer Yuri Victor was one of the first to notice the passiveaggressive dig: "The Verizon network is crowded now. Adjusting video for smoother playback..."

AT&T subscribers spotted a similar message as well.

"We are testing ways to let consumers know how their Netflix experience is being affected by congestion on their broadband provider's network," Netflix spokesman Joris Evers told The Huffington Post. "At present, this is a small test in the United States that is not specific to any provider."

Verizon countered that the notification is "a PR stunt."

"We're investigating this claim but it seems misleading and could confuse people," Verizon spokesman Robert Elek said.

In a blog post, a Verizon executive expanded on this idea, blaming any slow traffic on the secondary Internet providers that Netflix uses to deliver its videos to Verizon's network.

"The source of the problem is almost certainly NOT congestion in Verizon's network. Instead, the problem is most likely congestion on the connection that Netflix has chosen to use to reach Verizon's network," wrote David Young, vice president of Verizon's federal regulatory affairs group. "It would be more accurate for Netflix's message screen to say: 'The path that we have

chosen to reach Verizon's network is crowded right now.' However, that would highlight their responsibility for the problem."

In the cease-and-desist letter sent, Verizon wrote that "there is no basis for Netflix to assert that issues with respect to playback of any particular video session are attributable solely to the Verizon network," according to CNBC. When contacted for comment by HuffPost, Evers replied: "This is about consumers not getting what they paid for from their broadband provider. We are trying to provide more transparency, just like we do with the Netflix ISP Speed Index, and Verizon is trying to shut down that discussion."

Two months after the Heartbleed bug triggered widespread Internet panic, a researcher disclosed a new vulnerability in the same widely used security

software.

The researcher, Masashi Kikuchi, wrote in a blog post that he found another bug in OpenSSL, the encryption tool used in

two-thirds of all websites to prevent hackers from stealing sensitive information like passwords or credit card data.

The new flaw would allow a hacker to snoop on or even change the content of emails or Web traffic, experts said.

Unlike Heartbleed, the new bug is much more difficult for hackers to exploit because it requires them to intercept traffic between two computers. The new flaw is only found on some older versions of the OpenSSL software.

Wired.com writer Andy Greenberg noted that the flaw "leaves open the possibility that anyone from an eavesdropper on your local Starbucks’ network to the NSA [could] strip away your Web connection’s encryption before it’s even initialized."

It was unclear how many websites -- or which ones -- were affected by the vulnerability. Security experts said that anyone using Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome browsers appeared safe.

The OpenSSL Foundation, which supports the programmers who maintain the software, published an advisory saying the flaw had been fixed, but warning website owners to use the latest OpenSSL software.

The disclosure further highlights the need for more security experts to check the popular opensource software for flaws.

The vulnerability that was reported went undetected for 16 years because “code reviews were insufficient," Kikuchi wrote in a blog post.

New Flaw Found in Software That Caused Heartbleed Bug

By Alexis Kleinman Apple plans to make online shopping a little easier this fall. iOS8, the new iPhone operating system that's coming out later this year, will let you scan your credit card when buying something in Safari. Instead of typing in numbers, you'll be able to hold up your card and have the iPhone automatically recognize the numbers and punch them in for you.

Apple debuted both the new iPhone and Mac operating systems in San Francisco on Monday. Though you can't get the updates until this fall, a few developers already have access -- and the credit card feature is just one of several changes that are coming to your phone and computer.

The company also has plans to make texting easier, and might be changing the font on the Mac for the first time ever.

Some apps like Uber already use similar technol-

ogy to the new card-scanning option, allowing you to hold your credit card up to your phone and get the information off of it. PayPal recently bought the app Car.dio, which does just that.

In iOS 7 (what you have now), Safari can save your credit card info when you enter it, and then auto-fill it for you when making your next purchase. The iOS

8 update will also let you scan and save cards to auto-fill for future purchases, 9to5 Macreports.

We have to wonder how hard it would be to take a surreptitious pic of your neighbor's card -- say, while paying at a restaurant -- and use it for a purchase. But that probably wouldn't be any easier than just looking and writing down their number.

Best of all, Pepper will come equipped with voicerecognition capabilities that will not only understand what you're saying, but how you're feeling when you say it.

"With these technolo-

gies, people can enjoy communicating with Pepper in a natural way, just like they would with friends and family," SoftBank said in a news release.

"People describe others as being robots because they have no emotions, no heart. For the first time in human history, we're giving a robot a heart, emotions," Masayoshi Son, chief executive of SoftBank, said at a press conference, according to the BBC. The company will also release a software development kit so that programmers can create apps to expand the robot's capabilities.

systems, here's what you need to do: Get some good anti-virus software It might sound like a no-brainer, but if you don't have any anti-virus software on your PC, you should get some. There are a ridiculous number of different types of software from different companies for different prices, so just choose one that fits in your budget and works on your system. If your computer is on the older side and there isn't any anti-virus software available, you'll just have to make due with the other tips, or consider upgrading.

Update your software An easy way to protect yourself from viruses is to make sure all of your

computer software is up to date. One way to make sure your software is new -- if you have Windows 7 -- is to click the Start button, search for "Update" and click "Windows Update." Then click "Check for updates" and press "Install updates" if any are available. This process is different on different systems, so check out Microsoft's website to see how to update your specific PC. Take advantage of antimalware tools Find a good anti-malware tool that will work for your computer, especially if you suspect you've already been infected.

As always, change your passwords We've said it before and we'll say it again. When big viruses or password leaks appear, you need to change your passwords.

US-CERT doesn't specify which passwords are vulnerable, so you should be safe and change all of them. There are a bunch of apps and tools that take care of your passwords and can make your life a little safer and keep your passwords up to date.

This $1,930 Robot was Created to Be Your Friend

By Ed Mazza Who needs real friends when you can have a robot pal? Meet Pepper, a spiffy new android who can hang out, make jokes, talk and dance.

Unveiled in Tokyo by SoftBank, Pepper will go on sale in Japan early next year for $1,930.

Pepper is 4 feet tall, weighs just over 60 pounds and has 20 motors powering movements in its head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, hips, knees and more. It also has a 10.1inch touch display on the front, and synchronizes with a cloud-based database for access to information.

How to Protect Your Computer from the 'Zeus' Virus

The U.S. just shut down a cyber crime ring that infected between 500,000 and 1 million computers with a virus named GameOver Zeus, the Justice Department announced.

The virus usually gets into your computer through spam emails. Once it's taken hold, GameOver Zeus can get access to your banking information and passwords, send more spam from your computer and engage in distributed denial-of-service attacks that damage other computer systems and networks.

The feds shut down the group behind the virus -led by Russian hacker Evgeniy Bogachev -- but the malware is still out there.

And the virus is bad that the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) created a webpage to teach people how to protect themselves .

Only PCs are affected.

Specifically, Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and 8 and Microsoft Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, and Server 201, according to US-CERT. If you use one of those

The Attack on Our Educational Opportunities

Bill Fletcher, Jr. municipal levels. Locally-based campaigns have been conducted, and frequently won, improvements in minimum wages and other employment standards. Most recently strikes have been carried out by many fast-food workers demanding increases in their salaries.

Conservative state legislators have struck back by attempting to strangle democracy at the local level. Despite all of the conservative political rhetoric about local control and local initiative, when it comes to the rights of workers, this is quickly forgotten. Replacing local control are directives from the state capitals made at the request of business lobbies that see the only way to improve their – business – situation as being through ruining the situation of the worker.

In the November 2014 elections, there will exist the possibility, in many states, to turn this around. In addition to court action challenging such outrageous

state legislative actions, the most powerful response should be success at the polls by candidates who are actually interested in representing working people.

The crushing of the working person, in the name of improving the climate for business, obviously does nothing positive for working people. It also does nothing positive for democracy. It actually represents a further demonstration of the evolution of the U.S.A. toward nothing short of a plutocracy: a society dominated by a small minority of its wealthiest citizens.

U.S. has Always ‘Negotiated’ with Terrorists George E. Curry I disagree with President Obama’s decision to trade five Taliban leaders being held at Guantanamo Bay for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, an apparent deserter who is believed to have been the only U.S. solider being held as a prisoner of war in Afghanistan.

My opposition is based on the firm belief that such exchanges only encourage future violence against the U.S. For proof, we need to look no further than statements made by Taliban leaders after the exchange of prisoners.

Time magazine quoted one Taliban commander: “It’s better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird.”

Even so, Obama critics are incorrect when they claim that President Obama is departing from past U.S. practices.

Senator Ted Cruz (RTexas), for example, said, “The reason why the U.S. has had the policy for decades of not negotiating with terrorists is because once you start doing it, every other terrorist has incentive to capture more soldiers.”

Cruz is right about incentive, as we have already seen, but he is dead wrong about the U.S. not negotiating with terrorists.

Michael Reiss, who worked for the State Department under George W. Bush, has written a book titled,

Negotiating with Evil. He traces the practice of the U.S. negotiating with terrorists all the way back to George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

Politifact, quoting Reiss, said the three “accommodated what today would be viewed as terrorists.”

The author stated, “They each authorized payment to the Barbary pirates, and the U.S. Senate even ratified a treaty that enshrined the annual provision of naval supplies as ‘protection.’”

According to USAToday, “… Security experts like Bruce Hoffman, director of Georgetown University’s Center for Security Studies, said that however common the refrain ‘we do not negotiate with terrorists’ has become, it is ‘repeated as mantra more than fact.’ “‘We have long negotiated with terrorists. Virtually every other country in the world has negotiated with terrorists despite pledges never to,’” Hoffman said. “‘We should be tough on terrorists, but not on our fellow countrymen who are their captives, which means having to make a deal with the devil when there is no alternative.’”

In that same newspaper article, Charles “Cully” Stimson, who helped coordinate the Pentagon’s detainee operations under President George W. Bush, said both Democratic and Republican administrations have relied on terrorist groups for “information, supplies, personnel – a lot of different topics.”

Beyond the Rhetoric:

A Backdoor Approach to Lowering Wages There has arisen a peculiar phenomenon over the past seven years. Conservative legislatures in states such as Florida and Wisconsin have passed statutes that limit the ability of cities and counties to raise minimum wages and pass other legislation to advance the interests of workers. This has become part of a well-oiled operation by the political Right to restrict the ability of working people to improve their living standards.

This effort has emerged in response to increasing demands around the U.S. for raising minimum wages, including the achievement of what is frequently referenced as a “livable wage.” Given gridlock in Congress and the unwillingness of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives to do anything about the declining living standard of U.S. workers, many labor unions and other worker organizations have turned their attention to the fight at the state, county and

JUNE 20, 2014

On March 17, 2014 the Obama Administration took aim at career colleges and schools across the country with a new raft of regulations that would displace millions of minority students, strain local economies and reduce overall access to education for all Americans. The Administration’s proposed “Gainful Employment” rule is nothing short of a direct attack on private-sector schools, which have a long tradition of helping to provide opportunity for life improvement to the underserved in this country by providing them access to important vocational training and higher education that they would otherwise be unable to access.

The proposed rule targets programs offered at private-sector schools and colleges and would deprive them of access to Title IV federal student aid if they fail to meet certain arbitrary and arduous metrics. While the Administration claims that these regulations will help lower student debt and single out “bad actors” it neglects to mention that they will also shut down accredited programs with good outcomes and high pass rates on independent licensing exams, or force them

to abandon their mission of serving many AfricanAmerican, Latino and other minority students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to pursue a higher education. As the Washington Post editorial board recently noted, the current draft regulations would force schools to admit only low-risk students, making it harder for minorities, low-income people and nontraditional students to obtain the education needed to improve their lives.

Independent studies have shown that if the current draft of the rule were implemented as written, 42 percent of programs at proprietary schools would fail or be in the failing zone.

This includes more than one-third of Certificate programs, three-quarters of Associate degree programs, one-fifth of Bachelor degree programs and one-third of professional degree programs. Moreover, in excess of 1.1 million students that are currently enrolled in these programs would lose eligibility for Title IV federal student aid under the proposed regulations, many while in the middle of pursuing their education.

By singling out privatesector schools with this rule

the Administration shows a clear preference for public and non-profit colleges and universities, despite the fact that many of these schools perform no better, and in many cases, worse, than their private-sector peers. On top of that, community colleges would not even be able to absorb all of the students affected by the proposed rule. Many community colleges are already filled to capacity, and, in many case, making substantial cuts.

Despite concerns from industry experts and Members of Congress, including members from the President’s own party, the Department continues to push this regulation on the American people. Additionally, the Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, has attempted to back up the Administration’s work with questionable, and sometimes false, statistics and misleading statements.

Duncan claimed that 72 percent of graduates from for-profit programs earned less than high school dropouts, a statistic that was proven to be “bogus” by the ATTACK, See page 12B

A Pledge to Keep to Our Youth He told USAToday, “We have had very quiet negotiations, or discussions at least, with terrorist groups over the years on a whole host of things. They just haven’t usually come to light.”

But many have come to light.

Quoting Reiss’ book, Politifact notes: • After the North Koreans captured the U.S.S. Pueblo in 1968, President Lyndon Johnson apologized for spying as part of negotiations to secure the release of 83 American prisoners.

• In 1970, President Richard Nixon pressured Israel, Switzerland, West Germany and Britain to release Palestinian prisoners after two airlines were hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

• During the Iran hostage crisis of 1979 to 1981, President Jimmy Carter agreed to unfreeze $8 billion in frozen Iranian assets after more than a year of negotiations with the Iranian revolutionaries.

• In perhaps the most famous swap, after seven Americans were captured in Beirut, Lebanon, President Ronald Reagan agreed to send missiles to Iran in what became known as the Iran-Contra scandal.

Julianne Malveaux As young people graduate from high school, or finish the school year as sophomores and juniors, they begin to search for summer jobs. For the past several summers, the jobs have not been there, and this summer will be no different. It is true that economists are projecting a better employment situation for the college graduates who are entering the labor market now. At the same time, those high school graduates who must save money for college incidentals or for other needs will have a hard time finding work.

The Brookings Institute says that in our nation’s top 100 metropolitan areas, the employment prospects for teens and young adults dropped drastically.

Indeed, Brookings used the word “plummeted” to describe changes the employment situation between 2000 and 2011.

White youth had an official unemployment rate of 15.9 percent in April, while African American youth have a rate of 36.8 percent, more than twice the white rate. These are just the official numbers.

The unofficial numbers would suggest that a third of White youth, and about 70 percent of Black youth, are out of work.

Many choose to focus

on adult unemployment.

And certainly, the ability of adults to support their families is of greater concern.

But in addition to earning money, the 16-19 year old population benefits from summer jobs because they learn work habits, such as promptness and appropriate dress, when they are exposed to the labor market. Many who do not find summer employment will find that later an employer will prefer someone who has worked to someone who had not.

In the past, some city governments have provided resources to help put young people to work. In economic hard times (though some say they are improving), it is often easier for young people to find unpaid opportunities than those that generate income. That’s fine for those who can afford to work for free, but there is a definite class bias when unpaid internships are considered. Those whose parents are moderate earners are more likely to be willing or able to work without pay. Yet, unpaid internships are often stepping-stones to lucrative paid employment opportunities.

The youth employment situation is dire, and it is all the more dire when our rhetoric about valuing youth is examined. How

often have you been to an event focused on youth issues that played the Whitney Houston song, The Greatest Love of All? The song begins with the words, “I believe that children are the future, teach them well and let them lead the way.” What are we teaching our youth when we fail to provide opportunities for them?

We have made it more difficult for young people to find summer work, and more difficult for them to attend college, but very easy to fast track them into the criminal justice system. We are determining our nation’s future tomorrow by our actions today.

All youth are not in the same position. Race, class, and ethnicity shape the opportunities presented to young people. The offspring of the top 1 percent certainly don’t have to worry about summer jobs or college costs. And some children of the 1 percent can murder with impunity.

HOST From page 1A so that they can encourage other people in despair.”

Washington admits that she is controversial for being willing to take on tough subjects.

“I’m bold about certain topics,” she asserted. “Things they won’t talk about in church, I ask those questions. I bring them out in topics over the air to get people thinking and to open their minds.”

Dealing with young women’s growth has been Washington’s lifelong interest born out of her own personal development. “As I became more whole,” she said, “by me being healed from all my past adversities, it proves that if I can do it they can do it too. I want women to have a better outlook on life when they’re dealing with their self esteem and to decrease the number of teen pregnancies in young people.”

Washington believes that a family’s access to technologies such as social media, TV, and music are splintering their relationships. She also believes that the pressures of work are distracting parents from their responsibilities at home. “I understand that parents have to work,” she said, “but some people are chasing after the dollar and the kids are raising themselves.”

The upcoming conference, titled “Girl in the Mirror,” is meant to draw together parents and daughters to offer support and encouragement to help children grow into healthy adults. Washington will discuss how parents can encourage the development of positive lifechanging relationships during their daughters’ teen years.

She will also deal with the overwhelming influence of body images in today’s media market.

“For teenage girls in particular,” Washington noted, “having to keep up looking at the Kim Kardashians of the world, you have to show your body and your body has to be perfect. I’d like to show these girls that no matter what size you are, God has made you in his likeness and you are perfect the way you are.”

Ultimately, Washington would like to encourage young women to be both positive and persistent. “I want to show young girls that no matter what life throws at you, you can rise above it, and that’s why I’m here—to encourage, uplift and inspire that by sharing my life’s testimony, which is that no matter how bad things get, they can turn around.”

The conference will include a lecture, snacks, entertainment, and a performance by a praise dancer. Raffled items will be given away by Avon, KO Gym, and Liberty Tax. There will also be a special presentation of the Voice in the Community Award to a local Ventura County resident.

The event will be held on June 28, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. at the Oxnard Elks Club, 801 South A Street, in downtown Oxnard. Tickets are $10. They can be purchased at the door or by calling either (805) 302-8221 or (805) 276-8103. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and the first 50 guests will receive a free gift.

BUSINESS From page 1A need to partner with one another so that they can grow in size and scale. One to gain corporate contracts but two, to serve our community better,” said Derek T. Dingle, senior vice president and editor-in-chief of Black Enterprise. Small business is big business, he added. “Join the Small Business Revolution,” was the theme of the 2014 conference.

Another part of this “small business revolution,” Mr. Dingle told The Final Call are Black businesses doing business with one another and Black consumers leveraging their money. Over $1 trillion in “Black spending power,” should translate into “reciprocal trade” meaning more contracts, employees and executives he added. There are approximately two million Black owned businesses in the U.S., but 95 percent of those companies are sole proprietorships and only 100,000 Black businesses employ more than two people noted Mr. Dingle.

While the numbers of Black businesses have increased, the struggle continues to be growth and sustainability.

According to figures released in 2011 by the U.S. Census in a survey of Black businesses from 2002-2007, only 3.1 percent of Black-owned firms made more than $250,000 a year in receipts.

The majority or 26.5 percent made $10,000 – $24,999 and 21.4 percent grossed between $5,000-$9,999.

“We need to think differently because if we partner, grow our businesses and scale up then we can have a greater impact in terms of employment,” said Mr. Dingle. The Black community is still in the midst of an employment crisis, one that successful Black businesses can help address. But as one presenter pointed out, “Would you rather own 100 percent of a grape or 25 percent of a watermelon?” meaning partnering up with one another as opposed to sole proprietorships is an option Black entrepreneurs should be willing

to consider.

“What’s going to make the difference are going to be African American businesses of size and scale that can employ large numbers of African Americans,” said Mr. Dingle. This will translate into building wealth and creating opportunities throughout the community as well, he added.

Teaching entrepreneurs a better way to operate more efficiently through the use of technology, whether it is marketing goods and services via social media or delving into business ownership through franchising, were among the various breakout sessions at this year’s conference.

Successful and multi-million dollar Black business owners and executives presented on topics at the mid-May conference on, “Mastering Multiple Franchise Ownership,” “Wealth Management: How to Grow, Protect and Distribute Your Assets,” “How I Used Social Media to Brand My Company”, “20/20 Business Forum: Get On the Shelf” and multiple sessions on raising and accessing capital. The popular Elevator Pitch Competition in which entrepreneurs got the opportunity to present their business plan and idea to a panel of judges was back this year in addition to auditions for the popular network show Shark Tank.

Founded by Earl Graves Sr. in 1970, Black Enterprise is a multimedia resource hub providing information, training and tools for Black business owners and executives. Its signature publication, Black Enterprise Magazine highlights and promotes Black owned businesses.

In 2006 Mr. Graves Sr., handed the reigns over to his eldest son, Earl “Butch” Graves, Jr., who is now President and CEO. Guest presenters throughout the conference included author and multimedia businessman T.D. Jakes, longtime civil rights pioneer Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. who spoke on the ongoing fight for Blacks to gain entrance into Silicon Valley’s tech industry and Valerie Daniels-Carter, cofounder, president and CEO of V & J Holdings, one of the largest Black and women owned fast-food franchise operators in the country.

There must be a total transformation of the traditional Black entrepreneur mindset, said Rodney Sampson, author of Kingonomics and Executive in Charge of Diversity and Inclusion for Shark Tank in a presentation during the first night of the conference.

Mr. Sampson said Blacks not only need to start, build and sell companies but another method of business is to invest in companies.

“Everybody wants to be an entrepreneur but that’s a mindset, a process and a commitment that most people are not willing to make…we must see ourselves as investors first,” said Mr. Sampson. Investing in startup businesses provides different opportunities to build wealth, become an entrepreneur and help others, he said.

“Culturally, we start companies that have a nice lifestyle.

We have lifestyle businesses whereas other communities they are passionate about ideas but they’re not so much connected to the company itself,” said Mr. Sampson.

Selling a company to a larger or more strategic firm is a way to create wealth, a job for yourself and others he pointed out.

“Are you in business simply to create a livelihood for yourself or are you creating something that’s so disruptive that it will change the past, present and future and someone will eventually want to purchase or buy this from you because they have to have it. And guess what, now that you have the money, you’re also free to innovate again and again,” said Mr. Sampson.

Attendees gained a wealth of knowledge during the conference they hoped to take back home to implement into their businesses.

Ellis Still, owner of The Burning Bush Christian Bookstore travelled from Newark, N.J. to attend the conference and said it was well worth it.

“Coming to the Black Enterprise Conference you really get a chance to hear from people that have either done it at a very high level in terms of their success. So it’s good to hear from a diversity of people that have done what you’re trying to do,” Mr. Still told The Final Call.

Manual Washington, owner and CEO of two companies based in West Virginia, Groves Cleaning Services, LLC and Janitors Closet, had previously attended several Black Enterprise Conferences but had not been to one recently. Though he has been in business 28 years, Mr. Washington said this year’s conference brought him up to the 21st century.

“I had become somewhat complacent with the marketplace thinking that everything’s still to a point where it’s fair. It’s not a fair market but listening to Rev. Jakes and Rev. Jackson, I’ve found that we still have a fight and a struggle to get a better part of the market regardless to whatever type of business

we’re in,” he told The Final Call.

“To do that we must be persistent and have got to continue to persevere to the struggles of being entrepreneurs. By doing that, we must work together as a people and these types of conferences that forms a networking and informational stage for us, we must be a part of that and try to be stronger in our struggle to be owners or entrepreneurs.”

STRESS-FREE From page 2A People most stressed are those who have no goals, plans, or directions for their life. Everyone operates under one of two principles: priorities or pressures. If you don’t decide what’s important in your life and what you want to accomplish, other people will decide for you.

Having a plan keeps you from being a victim of the many urgent things—just going around and putting out fires. No one likes to get to the end of the day and wonder if they accomplished anything meaningful.

Activity is not accomplishment it also does not mean that we’re achieving something significant.

It can just mean we’re walking around in a circle.

DEVICES From page 5A respond especially well to technology programs because the programs behave in consistent, predictable ways. And unlike earlier technologies for students with special needs, the tablets and laptops are portable and indistinguishable from devices used by other students.

As developers continue to design a huge array of products—from free apps, such as Bookshare, to expensive robots—hopes are running high.

Some programs help students with attention deficit disorders get organized; others track students’ individual education plans or provide lists of words to prompt struggling writers.

ACT From page 5A areas of reading, math and science to offer to students as part of the school-day program. Unlike questions with fill-in-thebubble responses, open-ended questions call for what the ACT describes as a “constructed response” by the student.

And it said it is working to develop language for 2016 that would explain what ACT scores mean as they relate to the Common Core standards being rolled out in most states. The Common Core standards spell out what math and language skills students should master at each grade level.

BASS From page 6A the development of non-federal projects by leveraging the federal investment,” said Arthur T. Leahy, Chief Executive Officer of Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. “With Los Angeles County voters repeatedly voting to direct a portion of their local sales taxes to be used for transportation projects, Metro would welcome the ability to establish local hire programs on partial federally funded projects to build a better, stronger and more mobile Los Angeles.”

HARRIS From page 6A laws regulating the collection, retention, disclosure, and destruction of private or sensitive information by individuals, organizations, and the government. The unit also works to educate consumers and recommend best practices to businesses on privacy-related issues.

After receiving requests from the business community regarding privacy policy requirements, Attorney General Harris’ Privacy Enforcement and Protection Unit consulted with numerous stakeholders from the business sector, academia and privacy advocates in developing these recommendations.

The guide is available here: http://bit.ly/RUh7Do. BOE From page 6A About 1,900 employees are working in the N Street headquarters building. There are approximately 750 other capitalbased employees who work in satellite offices throughout the Sacramento area. This legislation would seek to consolidate all of these employees on one campus, increasing efficiency and productivity.

WOMAN From page 7A A few days later, Williams told the fictional man her family angered her and that she wanted to leave Alabama, according to court documents. Williams’ aunt told investigators her niece then asked the man to come take her away and to shoot her aunt if she tried to stop him.

The plans got more detailed with Williams telling the fictional man how to get into her aunt’s bedroom so he could kill her fiance first and asking him to shoot her cousin and the dog on the way out.

The aunt called the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office for help after reading the plans.

When she was interviewed by deputies, Williams admitted to the plot but said she didn’t really mean for anyone to be killed.

NAACP From page 7A and Maya Angelou, we also continue to address the new Jim Crow of mass incarceration and the old Jim Crow of voter suppression. NAACP members and partners have never been content to simply memorialize historic icons; in fact, we are inspired and energized by their example for the work that lies ahead.”

Citing increased voter diversity, the NAACP also battled new attacks on equal access to education, health care and economic opportunity that effect the lives of African Americans.

This year’s convention speakers include well-known as well as the next generation of civil rights leaders, elected officials, faith leaders, actors and community activists.

In addition to the prima-

ry convention schedule, the NAACP’s Youth & College Division will host workshops, luncheons and forums throughout the week. Emerging youth from across the nation will be featured in the annual Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) competition beginning July 17. Students will compete in 26 categories including sciences, humanities, performing arts, visual arts, and business over the course of the event. Famous ACT-SO alumni include musician Kanye West, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, filmmaker John Singleton and comedian Anthony Anderson.

GOAL From page 8A 2. Make some budget cuts It may not be easy. But saving for something as important as a new home is worth it. Look over your monthly bank statements for areas to cut back. Take out any set monthly expenses— rent or existing house payment, car payment, and anything else that can’t change.

Then consider things like cell phone bills, cable, internet service. If you’re not using all your data on your cell phone plan, that may be a place to trim.

Perhaps you don’t need such fast DSL service. Every little bit helps.

3. Look for ways to make extra money Do you have skills you could use to bring in a few bucks? Perhaps you can put your Spanish fluency to good use and tutor high school kids. Maybe you can take that piece of furniture you refinished and turn it into a weekend business, hitting earlymorning garage sales on weekends and selling your pieces on Craigslist.

4. Cook your dinner Eat out five nights a week now? Cut back to two. If you’re not a fan of cooking, sub in easy-to-make or already-made meals on the other three nights.

5. Keep your eye on the prize When everyone runs off to the Caribbean for their summer vacation, you’re probably going to want to chuck it all. But remember that the Caribbean isn’t going anywhere. You can luxuriate on an island with turquoise water lapping at your feet while you drink something frothy out of a pineapple next year - after you’ve closed escrow.

And it’ll taste so much better with the jangle of a new set of house keys in your pocket.

HOME From page 8A Mae, argued Arnold Nelson, a resident of Kansas City, Kansas.

“We bought our first home in Denver, Colorado in 1986 because of Fannie Mae, which allowed us to get a mortgage at a lower rate,” Mr. Nelson told The Final Call.

Some observers note that what Sen. Johnson really meant is that the bill intends to encourage the return of private investors to replace the function of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “That’s definitely bad news, because the commercial lenders charge higher rates, and they sell your mortgage to the next highest bidder without your consent,” said Mr. Nelson.

JOB From page 8A • Be prepared to answer a barrage of questions about yourself and how you’d react in different situations. (Monster has a great list of potential interview questions.)

• Make sure you can back up any claims made on your resume or during interviews.

Register with job search engines where you can apply for jobs and make yourself visible to potential employers and recruiters. Popular sites include Monster.com, Careerbuilder. com. LinkedIn, AfterCollege. com and LinkUp.com.

Landing a good job can take months or even years, so be persistent and tap all available resources. For example: • Contact your school’s career office to see which services are still available to you as a recent graduate. Many will help by reviewing your resume, conducting practice interviews and connecting you with alumni volunteers willing to meet for informational interviews.

• Build and maintain a profile on LinkedIn. Many employers and recruiters go there first when looking for suitable candidates. Also, join LinkedIn groups for your field of interest and partake in their discussions.

• Contact and join professional organizations in your field. Weddles.com provides links to thousands of professional organizations.

• Many companies use automated tracking systems to scan incoming resumes for skills and job-appropriate key words before a human will ever see them.

Make sure your resume includes these key words – provided your experience is relevant, of course.

Bottom line: You worked hard to earn your degree. Unfortunately, you may have to work equally hard to get your career going, so take advantage of the available tools – and good luck.

WIB From page 8A County colleges and universities. Available positions cover a range of jobs across multiple departments, from software development and IT to sales and marketing. All new hires go through extensive product training their first week and are encouraged to continue with professional development and online learning opportunities.

WIB Collaborative Action Award The Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise is one of three WIB Collaborative Action Award honorees. The award is for partnerships that help meet employer needs, improve the relevance and capacity of education and workforce training and/or support business expansion in Ventura County. The Rotary Club is recognized for using a $5,000 grant to underwrite vocational scholarships that will help adults in transition to acquire skills for living-wage jobs in manufacturing—middle skill jobs that do not necessarily require a college degree.

The Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce, a second award winner, initiated a partnership with the business community to enhance employment and educational opportunities for students. Members conducted a tour of the Simi Valley Adult School and Career Institute for 14 Simi Valley High School students to learn more about options after high school other than college. Students then toured two Simi Valley manufacturers, Computer Metal Products and Vanderhorst Brothers. Students also heard from representatives from Simi Valley Ford about the values and skills necessary to succeed in manufacturing or the auto service environment.

The third recipient of the WIB Collaborative Action Award is the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Ventura County Chapter (SHPE-VCC).

The organization is comprised of professional engineers who serve as role models in the Hispanic community. It offers a series of activities and programs including scholarships, career preparation workshops, STEM events (Noche de Ciencias or Night of Science, ExcitEngineer) and leadership conferences.

WIB Champion for Prosperity Award The WIB Champion for Prosperity Award is presented to an individual or organization for supporting workforce development in Ventura County through job creation, job retention and business expansion or attraction. Lilly Rudolph, a senior planner with the City of Ventura, is recognized for spearheading the city’s economic development strategy effort. The strategy that she helped to create was built on a participative planning process and focuses on job development, business retention, attraction and expansion.

Don Cheadle Launches Crowdfunding Charles S. Dutton, Tika Sumpter, Campaign for Miles Davis Biopic Mike Epps Join Bessie Smith Film

Don Cheadle

Miles Davis

This summer Don Cheadle will make his feature directorial debut and star in a film that chronicles the life and music of Miles Davis entitled, “Miles Ahead.”

In an effort to help fund the project, the Golden Globe Award-winning actor has launched an In-

diegogo crowdfunding campaign, which closes on July 10, with the target goal of $325,000.

“Miles Davis was not the typical jazz musician, in fact that’s a word that he really didn’t care for,” Cheadle admitted in the campaign’s promotion clip. “He thought the word

jazz was too limiting to really express the breadth and scope of what he did.

He preferred that his work be referred to as ‘social music,’ the music of its time.”

“And keeping within that spirit I think that it’s only befitting that the making of this movie be a social experience. So we’re turning to the social mediums of our time so that we can bring this man whose musical shoulders we metaphorically sit on, forward to our time.”

According to the campaign’s project page, select donations will come with various perks, including exclusive on set access, and Miles Davis memorabilia.

In addition, the “House of Lies” star has also tapped Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper, and Nas to contribute to the film’s soundtrack.

Taye Diggs Talks About Split with Idina Menzel

By Lily Karlin When Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel announced their split last December, fans of the Broadway couple had a hard time keeping it together.

In an interview with Redbook this month, Diggs said the public's reaction to their separation did not come as a surprise.

"I'd be lying if I said there weren't times when I thought, Oh, man, people are going to trip out [if we split]," the actor said. "There weren't a lot of couples like us in the theater community -- and I know there aren't a lot of performers as talented as she is … and then you have the whole mixed [race] thing. It was easy for people to root for us."

Starz Offers New Original Drama 'Power' for Early Digital Purchase in U.K.

LONDON -- Starz Digital Media unit in a company first is offering new original drama Power via early electronic sell-through (EST) on various digital platforms in the U.K. For the drama from executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Starz has not struck a TV network or subscription video on-demand service deal in Britain so far, but it said digital sales could lead to an agreement of that sort.

It said the show's young target audience created demand from digital players and made it a natural for such an experiment.

The first hourlong episode of the show is available on Amazon Instant Video, iTunes, blinkbox, Google Play, Sony Entertainment Network and Xbox Video.

"Enthusiasm from our digital partners in the United Kingdom for the latest Starz Original series Power led us to give U.K. fans a unique opportunity to purchase episodes the next business day after their respective worldwide premieres," said Mara

NEW YORK — New York prosecutors say a cast member on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" has been arrested and charged with failing to pay over $1 million in child support.

The cast member, 40-year-old Steven Jordan, known as "Stevie J," is also a Grammy-winning record producer.

He was arrested Monday. At an Atlanta court appearance Tuesday, he was held until a bail hearing Wednesday. His lawyer declined comment afterward.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara (buh-RAH'-ruh) says Jordan, an Atlanta resident, failed to pay support for two children while earning $27,000 monthly.

Prosecutors say Jordan failed to make a voluntary payment in the first nine months of 2013. At the time, he earned $193,000 on the show and another $100,000 from music royalties.

$115,000 and $300,000 to his attorneys to cover the costs of their custody dispute.

Berry and Aubry, a model, were involved in a custody dispute in 2012, and a judge blocked her from moving their daughter to France.

Gordon's order only affects child support payments.

Berry has an 8-monthold son with her husband, Olivier Martinez.

Should Everyone Show Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Humbleness & Self-control All of the Time?

“My thoughts are “Yes”, however it has become more difficult to possess these attributes “All of the time.” As we evolve as a species, it has become clear, based on my life experiences, that we are going to lose more of these positive aspects of our lives.”

“We should all live life on a happy attitude. It’s hard to do, but the way you treat people is the way you should treat yourself.”

“I show love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, humbleness, & self-control whenever possible”.

“Absolutely, we should strive all the time to exercise fruits of the spirit.”

“Yes. It isn’t always easy but it is always worth it.”

“Yes. People should show love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, humbleness, & self-control. The reality is that the heart of mankind has not changed.

My hope is that we overcome it.”

The Black Dollar Project: Black Women are Changing the Game $1 at a Time Taking Care of Business

By Freddie Allen NNPA Washington Correspondent WA S H I N G T O N (NNPA) – Instead of breaking the glass ceiling, Black women have increasingly started making their own.

According to the Center for American Progress, an independent, nonpartisan progressive institute, Black women are the fastestgrowing group of entrepreneurs in the country.

“Today, women of color are the majority owners of close to one-third of all women-owned firms in the nation,” stated the report. “Increased access to business capital – including microenterprises, venture capital- funded firms, and crowd funding – has helped the number of women entrepreneurs grow substantially.”

Traditional careers often come with cultural and structural roadblocks that devalue the work of women, especially Black women.

Black women made 64 cents and White women made 78 cents for every dollar that White males made.

Black women brought home about $600 a week compared to White women who earned a median of $722.

“From 1997 to 2013, the number of femaleowned firms in the United States grew by 59 percent – one-and-a-half times the

national average,” stated the report.

The number of businesses owned by Black women skyrocketed by 258 percent over that time period. In 2013, more than 1.1 million Black women owned businesses. At 13 percent, Black women also hold the largest share of businesses owned by minority women.

According to the CAP report, “African American women are starting businesses at a rate six times the national average, and their 2.7 million firms are currently generating $226.8 billion in annual revenue and employing almost 1.4 million people.”

As the country grows more diverse, the success of businesses owned by minorities, specifically women of color, will take on a greater role in American economy.

“A 2009 Center for Women’s Business Research study found that the 8 million U.S. businesses that are majority owned by women had an economic impact of $3 trillion annually that translated into the creation and/or maintenance of more than 23 million jobs, a total that made up 16 percent of all U.S. jobs,” stated the report. “Given the rates of growth among women of color businesses, these positive impacts to the nation’s economy stand to

grow even further.”

That doesn’t mean it’s easier for minority women to start and own businesses. They often encounter the same hurdles in entrepreneurship that they face climbing the corporate ladder, including “limited access to mentors and “exclusion from elite networks.”

Minority women don’t often possess the personal wealth that allows men and White women to invest in their own businesses.

The report said that Black women with children possess zero median wealth.

Women often turn to credit cards (63 percent), business loans (13 percent) and personal loans (11 percent) to fund their start-ups.

Once they get their businesses off the ground, minority women achieved varied levels of success, with companies owned

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of GLEN E ROBERTS A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Betty C. Roberts in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Betty C. Roberts 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 July 9, 2014 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard, Oxnard, CA 93036.

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 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 out-

standing 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 OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF NINA MISZANCZUK CASE NO. 56-201400453836-PR-LA-OXN

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of NINA MISZANCZUK. A Petition for Probate has been filed by VENTURA COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that BARRY L. ZIMMERMAN, VENTURA COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR 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: July 10, 2014 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Justice Center.

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 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 appli-

cable, 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 1427014. 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 street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1533 TWIN TIDES PL, OXNARD, CA 93035 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, towit: $1,738,660.64 (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 1451814. 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.

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 013013-CA. 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. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (714) 573-1965 Date: 6/9/2014 Date Executed: CLEAR RECON CORP.

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.

HENRY CASE NO. 56-201400453890-PR-LA-OXN

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of DOROTHY CAROLYN HENRY. A Petition for Probate has been filed by BONNIE BROWN in the Superior Court of California, County of VENTURA. The Petition for Probate requests that BONNIE BROWN 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 ad-

ministration 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: July 10, 2014 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 East Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile 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 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 1323620. 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.

INSURANCE From page 8A a good job of explaining the four basic life insurance policies out there -- “Term,” “Term to Age,” “Term ROP (Return of Premium),” and “Universal Life” -- and helps you decide which is right for you. Thus, even before you check the prices, you’ll know, among other things, that: • Term insurance is the least expensive, and a simple rule-of-thumb for choosing among five-year, 10-year, 20-year and 30-year durations is to ensure that your youngest child will be covered to age 22.

• Declining a medical exam severely limits your options.

• To figure how much coverage you really need, total all your debts (including mortgages) and 70 percent of your annual expenses for 20 years.

RETIREMENT From page 9A “Because Social Security lasts for life and keeps up with the cost of living, it may be the biggest asset a worker has,” said Virginia Reno, NASI’s Vice President for Income Security Policy.

If you think of Social Security as a key retirement asset, you may want to increase it by delaying when you start benefits, if you can. Learn more at www.NASI.org/WhenToTakeSocialSecurity.

TAI CHI

From page 9A According to the study’s authors, Tai Chi “has been confirmed to benefit” patients with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease and fibromyalgia. In addition, Tai Chi also appears to help with balance, blood pressure and stress reduction.

The new study found that those who practiced Tai Chi enjoyed a significantly higher number of CD34 cells than those in the other groups.

ATTACK From page 11A experts at the Washington Post. Nevertheless, the Department has taken to social media to promote its fabricated numbers in an attempt to deceive the American public and damage the reputation of these important institutions.

Recent reports show that student’s aren’t enamored with the Administration’s decisions either. To the contrary, students realize that these regulations would not only hurt their own academic opportunities, but those of many future students and employers who rely on these important programs. CBS’s South Carolina affiliated television station recently captured comments from some of these students who are preparing for important careers in specific fields. “I believe that it not only just limits choice but it also limits creativity,” said one student who is studying fashion retail management.

Gutting important programs offered at privatesector institutions by denying students the financial aid they need does nothing to further the Administration’s stated goals of improving access and affordability in higher education. Furthermore, the regulations would serve as another setback to the U.S. economy by adding to the skills gap we are currently experiencing in this country.

If the Administration truly believes its rules to be so great it would apply them equally to all institutions and end its crusade against private-sector institutions – in fact, as the Administration develops its proposed College Scorecard, if the metrics embodied in the Gainful Employment rule are a good measure of quality and outcomes for the private sector institutions, why not use those same metrics to measure the outcomes and quality of programs offered at traditional institutions, public and non-profit? The 845-page draft Gainful Employment regulation fails to acknowledge the important role that private sector colleges and universities play in educating an often neglected segment of the U.S. population and shows just how out of touch the Administration is with the American people. The Administration should rethink its Gainful Employment rule if it truly wants to help students receive the education of their choice and expand, not reduce, opportunities for low-income minority Americans in higher education.

YOUTH From page 11A his blood alcohol was three times the legal limit.

His defense said he suffered from “affluenza,” which means he had too much money to have any sense. The judge bought the bizarre argument.

This summer, some will complain that young’uns playing with fire hydrants will bring water pressure down (fix that by opening the pools), or that youngsters gathering in the street are a nuisance (so open a playground). We’ll hear about literacy challenges (keep libraries open longer hours), and other ways that the young people who are out of school occupy themselves. Job creation, summer programs, and other links between school and work possibilities are all ways to connect our young people to opportunities. It costs money now, but as a dear friend, the late Charles Franklin said, “you have to pay, but if you wait too long, you will pay penalties and interest.”

Our beloved ancestor Maya Angelou wrote, “A Pledge to Rescue Our Youth” at Essence former editor Susan Taylor’s request and it was read at the 2006 Essence Music Festival. These are the last lines of her charge, “You are the best we have. You are all we have. You are what we have become. We pledge you our whole hearts from this day forward.”

We can’t afford to discard that pledge.

His administration also worked directly with the Taliban nearly two decades ago on several occasions to see if the group would hand over Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders.

The Website added, “Reiss also noted that President George W. Bush engaged in negotiations with Iran and North Korea even after decreeing them part of the ‘Axis of Evil.’”

Defending such actions has become a sophisticated game of hair-splitting technicalities.

Factcheck.org observed, “…The U.S. does not consider detainees held at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba to be prisoners of war. The State Department calls the detainees ‘enemy combatants.’

In fact, the U.S. specifically declared in 2002 that ‘Taliban detainees are not entitled to POW status. … The Taliban have not effectively distinguished themselves from the civilian population of Afghanistan. Moreover, they have not conducted their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.’ That complicates any assertion that this was a simple swap of prisoners of war.”

The word game does not end there.

‘For what it’s worth, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf said in a press conference on June 4 that the State Department doesn’t claim that it won’t ‘negotiate’ with terrorists, but rather that it does not make ‘concessions’ to terrorists,’” Factcheck.org noted. “She said the swap was not a concession to terrorists, but rather was part of a

longstanding, historical precedent of exchanging prisoners “‘during a time of war.’”

AKA From page 14A Julia Brownley and a representative from the office of Assemblyman Das Williams were also in attendance to provide certificates. Aya Diaz and Caitlyn Lowe read their essays on why they selected their college fields of study.

The Xi Kappa Omega Chapter provides various service projects and events to the community such as: Speech Exposition, AKA Reading Akademy, Fashionetta, Adopt a Family, Men Can Cook, scholarships, Thanksgiving donations, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service and a host of other community programs and services.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., was founded in 1908 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC. The sorority’s stance is to provide “Service to all Mankind” which is continuously reflected on a national level and locally as shown by the work of Xi Kappa Omega.

WOMEN From page 15A firms in terms of average receipts,” the report explained.

Women-owned firms in the professional, scientific and technical service industries earned significantly more, which means that getting more young women of color interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) an economic imperative.

“While better access to funding streams, diverse industries, and networks are in short supply for women of color, the entrepreneurial spirit is not,” stated the report. “Women, and women of color in particular, face a wide array of work-related obstacles, but their participation as employees, business owners, and consumers is fundamental to the success of not only their own families but also to the success of the U.S. economy.”

DOLLAR From page 15A those innovative leaders were the driving force behind their overall vision to see the Black community return to the same position of economic strength and unity they displayed in the midst of tumultuous times.

“Black Wall Street businesses and consumers gave African Americans a successful blueprint that can be followed today,” said Boney. “Although we are living in a different time, we can recreate that culture by connecting Black businesses with Black consumers one dollar at a time.”

The founders emphasized that Black consumers must rid themselves of the “one-chance” and “only-chance” mentality when it comes to supporting Black businesses and encouraged attendees to sign up and get engaged.

“If the perception of the Black dollar has no value, then our purchases will have no benefit,” said Farooq. “‘The Black Dollar Project’ addresses the immediate need for us to change the way we view the Black dollar and the way we spend it.”

Attendees were blessed to have civil rights activist Dr. Virgil Wood in the audience. Dr. Wood, who worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has committed much of his life’s work to the struggle for economic and spiritual development among the nation’s disadvantaged.

“Five weeks before Dr. King was assassinated, we had a conversation about creating a more solid movement focused on economic development amongst the African American community,” said Dr. Wood. “I am pleased tonight to know that nearly 50 years after his assassination, ‘The Black Dollar Project’ is being launched and this is the type of initiative we have needed to truly fulfill the dream that Martin shared with us. I am signing up to be a part tonight.”

Pastor Manson B. Johnson, Holman Street Baptist Church, delivered the invocation and several key business and community leaders delivered remarks, including guest speaker Irvin Ashford, Jr., Comerica Bank, Senior Vice President, who encouraged attendees to support the initiative, while sharing a powerful story about the lessons he learned from his grandmother and how they apply to an initiative such as this.

“My grandmother taught me to be smart, be wise, be sensible and use the tools that are available to me,” said Ashford. “She also taught me to go after the low hanging fruit because it was often the best. Black businesses oftentimes get overlooked but are the best, and being a part of an initiative like this will help identify those good businesses that are prepared and ready to grow.”

Ashford, a Comerica executive since 2000, emphasized that financial institutions like his are looking to do business with quality African American businesses and that being a part of an initiative like ‘The Black Dollar Project’ helps them identify more of them to do business with.

The keynote speaker for the launch event was Cheryl Pearson-McNeil, Senior Vice President, U.S. Strategic Community Alliances and Consumer Engagement at Nielsen. Through the leadership of Pearson-McNeil, Nielsen created a report called, “The African American Consumer Report,” which shows the spending habits of the African American consumer. Most importantly, the report revealed and calculated the annual buying and spending power of African Americans in the U.S. and revealed that Black buying power is slated to reach a forecasted $1.3 trillion by 2017, with African Americans making up approximately 13.7% of the U.S. population.

“How many of you would give $100 to a complete stranger,” asked Pearson-McNeil. “None of you raised your hands, but every day we are giving our money to complete strangers when we shop and pay bills, without having a relationship with them at all. Until we realize the power we possess with our forecasted $1.3 trillion by 2017, we will not gain the respect we deserve.”

Se7en the Poet delivered a soul-stirring, original piece about the importance of supporting Black businesses and the power of the Black dollar that brought the audience to their feet.

The Sound Effect band prides themselves in their trueness to live music. All instruments are played live and they never use pre-recorded background tracks at any live performances. This gives them the ability to change the feel of songs as they feel the need to which in turn keeps them fresh and energetic on stage. The fact that the core 4 members of the group have been together for over 11 years makes this possible. Having performed together for so many years also gives them the tightness that distinguishes them from any other group. Besides their unmistakeable talent, they enjoy themselves on stage so much that the feeling is contagious. Their fans become more like family and the vibe they give off becomes their own.
