Around the Tri-Counties Finding the light in the tunnel of hell Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan Never take advice from someone who hasn’t “been there” meaning the person giving me advice needs to at least have had some personal storms in their own life and made it through.

It’s kind of hard to help someone navigate through something If they have never experienced anything themselves. This is not to say that you have to go through the exact thing that someone else goes through in order to offer sound advice. It does mean that we should have some level of experience of a battle that we had to forge our way through. You can’t

tell me how to survive in a ghetto if you never lived in one. There are people who have gone through much greater storms then I’ve gone through and today are full of joy, peace, purpose and are anchored and optimistic about life. I will never forget my major storm early one morning with a knock on the door, little did I know my whole life is going to change, at the door five law enforcers and investigators, this was the beginning of me, and my wife walking through our own tunnel of hell. Little did I know those three years would completely redefine who we are today?

There are so many things about the pain, problems, and the people involved during that season of our storm. You can read all about the details in my up-and-coming book. In this article I want to share three things you can do to bounce back when you’re faced with overwhelming life storms.

Have you ever gone Paid Advertisement

through a complete life overhaul? How do you deal with it? I urge you to think about it: What if you lost everything you have today?

What would keep you going on? Would you give up? Would you hold on to that tiny light at the end of the tunnel, that you can’t even see? Or worse, you can see the light, but it’s a train coming at you. We take our lives and the little moments of happiness for granted. It is only when we are snatched of those things that we realize the value of everything while at the same time learning to live without them.

What do you do when it seems you lost everything, well, first of all, if you look around you, you never lose everything in fact; the most important things are still right in front of you. This is certainly what I learned in my personal store of a legal battle that lasted three years.

I was face to face with shame, embarrassment being LIGHT, See page 12A

Preferences Versus Priorities The Mind Matters

By Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC Are your preferences in conflict with your priorities? Are you making progress towards achieving your goals and aspirations? Or do you feel that what you want is always out of your reach? Maybe it’s time to understand the different choices involved.

Decisions you make about what you would prefer to do can have a negative impact on the things that really matter in your life.

Priority is considered a prime concern – the primary issue. It is the thing of most important consideration. It takes precedence over other things, as it is of greater importance. A priority might be paying the mortgage before you spend the money on a vacation.

A preference is something you like better. You would rather have that particular thing. It’s something you are partial to or that you favor. It’s something you would choose over other things; a first choice. A preference is a liking, bias, taste and fondness. It is a favorite. A preference may be something as simple as chocolate ice cream.

Often we make choices based on our preferences rather than our priorities.

This may not be a good idea! What if your priority is to lose ten pounds….and your preference is to eat pizza and sit on the sofa watching movies? Your preferences would sabotage your priority! Your subconscious programming and desires can get in the way of achieving your

conscious goals.

Practice Makes Perfect Inez Knows

Inez Lanns

By Inez Lanns Success is a great thing.

It is something that everyone wants and desires, but not everyone wants to put in the work that it takes to gain good and lasting success. Who wouldn’t want the benefits of success, which include winning, the fortune, the fame, the recognition and much more? It is a great feeling

to possess good rewards.

The part that isn’t as inviting is the hard work, the sweat, the toil and sacrifice it takes to obtain it.

Success comes in many forms and fashions. For some having a happy peaceful life and paying all of their bills are success.

For another making it big in entertainment and having added fame is success.

Winning the State finals can be success for one, but winning on a higher level like the Olympics may be success. Perception is important. You parents idea of success may not end up being what it takes for you to feel successful. Take some time to determine what success is to you – find out what you’re passionate about, what you’re good at, what you would like to

accomplish – and create a plan of attack so that you can reach your goals.

It is wonderful being talented and gifted, but it also takes working on and strengthening those things in order to keep growing and be successful.

We must exercise whatever it is that we have in order to keep it growing. For example, when a person exercises, he or she must continue to increase time, reps and resistance in order to grow and get stronger. A person who sings must continue to utilize his or her vocals in order to get a better range and stronger vocals. An artist keeps painting, a designer keeps designing, a hair stylist keeps doing hair, and the list goes on.

from an actual professor at a university level about physics, the uncertainties of numbers, vectors, and new math skills. At school, I thought engineering was all done on computers.

Now I have learned that it’s about using your mind and knowledge to build things and solve problems; it’s a new experience.”

The People’s Throb

When Being Savagely Beaten, Who Gets More Sympathy, Pets, or Humans?

By Gary L. Harbour

Leslie Mack, 55 Oxnard, CA

Marcee Chester, 41 Oxnard, CA

Jamani Crockett, 18 Oxnard, CA

Jaquala Shropshire, 50 Oxnard, CA

Willie Clark, 61 Oxnard, CA

Jamie Crocket, 48 Oxnard, CA

“I feel that both pets and humans both get more sympathy because both pets and humans both serve a purpose in this society due to the fact that we need both pets and humans in our lives. I believe this because for those loved ones who have lost the most closest relative, for one reason or another, have become very attached and dependant on their pets, and viceversa. So, therefore, although humans are humans, sympathy is always addressed so passionately because of the way that God planned this world from the start, Adam & Eve and the two of each.”

“I feel that pets are dominating the society these days and people seem to be very much more sympathetic to pets more than humans. I’ve experienced many situations concerning people defending pets even when the pet had injured a human due to the vicious nature of the animal and the fact that so many citizens own pets, I don’t agree with it; however, the fact of my statement still remains to be for the most part true. Society has overlooked so many aspects of life and the regard for humans, as opposed to pets have need for evaluation throughout this society.”

“I feel that animals receive more sympathy. They are seen as helpless, and when they are mistreated it tends to hit a soft spot for most.

Also, as awful as it is, when a human is beaten, the tragedy is taken by media and abused as the next scandal.”

“Pets appear to be better taken care of than human beings. Sympathy is an understatement when it comes to looking out for our neighbor.

What a disappointment.”

“I think both should get the same sympathy because it doesn’t matter if you are human or animal, it’s still the same beating.”

“I truly believe if you commit violent against another human being then that person should be punished in that same manner. Pets are for the most part defenseless against someone trying to hurt them and will receive the sympathy, but where I grew up, I witnessed the local Sheriff’s department of Los Angeles County beat and hurt young Black men on the daily basis with their big heavy black mag flashlight, and there was no sympathy. So if I had to vote on this matter I would vote that pets get the most sympathy.”

LOS ANGELES — Getting through an airport can be a slow process, but it was even slower for a man that had 67 snails in his luggage. U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) agriculture specialists at LosAngeles International Airport (LAX) inspected an air cargo shipment declared as 67 live snails. Accompanying paperwork described them

as Achatina Fulica for human consumption. They arrived from Lagos, Nigeria in two plastic basket

packages weighing slightly more than 35 pounds in total and were destined for San Dimas, California.

After submitting an urgent sample to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plant Protection and Quarantine entomologists, their acting national mollusk specialist in Washington, D.C., identified them as Giant African Snails - scientifically

About Covered California Covered California is the state’s marketplace for the federal Patient Protec-

tion and Affordable Care Act. Covered California, in partnership with the California Department of Health Care Services, was charged with creating a new health insurance marketplace in which individuals and small businesses can get access to affordable health insurance plans.

With coverage starting in 2014, Covered California helps individuals determine whether they are eligible for premium assistance that is available on a slidingscale basis to reduce insurance costs or whether they are eligible for low-cost or no-cost Medi-Cal. Consumers can then compare health insurance plans and choose the plan that works best for their health needs and budget. Small businesses can purchase competitively priced health insurance plans and offer their employees the ability to choose from an array of plans and may qualify for federal tax credits.

known as Archachatina (Calachatina) marginata var. ovum (Pfeiffer) (Achatinidae). CBP received notification of this on July 7.

Native to Africa, their other commonly known names are Giant African Land Snail, West African Snail, West African Land Snail, Banana Rasp Snail, and Margie.

“This significant interception of Giant African Snails is the first time this pest has been encountered in such large quantity and as a consumption entry by CBP in Los Angeles. It exemplifies how CBP agriculture specialists protect

our nation’s agriculture from the introduction of threatening foreign pests, plants and diseases,” said Todd C. Owen, CBP director of field operations in Los Angeles.

USDA emphasized the importance of safeguarding this shipment of one of the most extremely damaging snail species. Thereafter, CBP transferred the shipment to USDA’s local Plant Inspection Station for final disposition.

These pests are a very serious threat to our agriculture, natural ecosystem, public health and economy.

They can consume more than 500 types of plants and, if vegetables or fruits are not available, will even eat the paint and stucco off of houses. They can be carriers of several parasites which are harmful to humans, one of which can lead to meningitis.

Being one of the world’s largest land snails, these mollusks can reach up to about eight inches long, about five inches in diameter and may live up to 10 years.

Suggested preventative measures include strict quarantine to prevent introduction and further spread.

Sports News Floyd Mayweather Announces Browns Receiver Josh Gordon Rematch with Marcos Maidana Arrested for DWI in North Carolina

By Kevin Iole LAS VEGAS – Floyd Mayweather, the world’s top pound-for-pound boxer, waited until about the last possible moment to announce via a smart phone app that he will rematch Marcos Maidana on Sept.

13 at the MGM Grand Garden in a bout that will be televised on Showtime pay-per-view.

Mayweather made the announcement of the rematch of his May 3 majority decision win over Maidana on the Shots smart phone app, but didn’t announce either the venue or the promoter. Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, confirmed to Yahoo Sports via telephone that the bout will be co-promoted by Golden

Marcos Maidana and Floyd Mayweather Boy Promotions and Mayeather Promotions.

Mayweather’s last nine fights have been at the MGM Grand and have been promoted by Golden Boy, going back to May 5, 2007, when he fought Os-

RALEIGH, N.C. — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated after speeding down a street in Raleigh, bringing the troubled Pro Bowler's already cloudy future into more doubt.

Gordon was taken into custody after being pulled over for going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone on U.S. 70 in northwest Raleigh, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.

Gordon was released on bail. Court records did not list an attorney.

The 23-year-old wide receiver has been in trouble before off the field. He was suspended two games last season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, but still led the league with 1,646 yards receiving.

Channing Frye Agrees to $32 Million Deal with Magic Chiefs Backup OL Rokevious Watkins Suspended Four Games

By Adrian Wojnarowski Free-agent forward Channing Frye has reached agreement on a four-year, $32 million contract with the Orlando Magic, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Frye had opted out of the final season of his contract with the Phoenix Suns to become an unrestricted free agent. Frye passed on his player's option for $6.8 million in the 2014-15 season, which would've been the final year of an original five-year, $30 million deal.

The Suns had wanted to bring Frye back, but the Magic offer proved too attractive to turn down.

Judge approves NFL concussion settlement

By Maryclaire Dale A federal judge granted preliminary approval to a landmark deal that would compensate thousands of former NFL players for concussion-related claims.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Anita Brody in Philadelphia came about two weeks after the NFL agreed to remove a $675 million cap on damages. Brody had previously questioned whether that would be enough money to pay all claims. ''A class action settlement that offers prompt relief is superior to the likely alternative - years of expensive, difficult, and uncertain litigation, with no assurance of recovery, while retired players' physical and mental conditions continue to deteriorate,'' Brody wrote.

More than 4,500 former players have filed suit, some accusing the league of fraud for its handling of concussions. They include former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and Super Bowl-winning Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia.

The settlement is designed to last at least 65 years and give $1 million or more to retirees who develop Lou Gehrig's disease and other profound neurological problems. ''This is an extraordinary settlement for retired NFL players and their families - from those who suffer with neuro-cognitive illnesses today, to those

who are currently healthy but fear they may develop symptoms decades into the future,'' plaintiffs' attorneys Sol Weiss and Christopher Seeger said in a statement.

NFL senior vice president Anastasia Danias said in a statement that the league was ''grateful to Judge Brody for her guidance and her thoughtful analysis of the issues as reflected in the comprehensive opinion she issued today.''

The original settlement included $675 million for compensatory claims for players with neurological symptoms, $75 million for baseline testing and $10 million for medical research and education. The NFL would also pay an additional $112 million to the players' lawyers, for a total payout of more than $870 million.

The revised settlement eliminates the cap on overall damage claims but retains a payout formula for individual retirees that considers their age and illness. A young retiree with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, would receive $5 million, a 50-year-old with Alzheimer's disease would get $1.6 million and an 80-year-old with early dementia would get $25,000.

Even with the cap removed, both sides said they believe the NFL will spend no more than about $675 million on damage claims by ex-players.

Critics of the deal have

said the league, with annual revenues approaching $10 billion, was getting off lightly. They could raise objections at a fairness hearing scheduled for Nov. 19, and ultimately opt out of the settlement.

However, they would then face the risk of a protracted legal fight, and would have to prove any injuries were caused by NFL concussions and not any suffered in youth or college sports. The proposed NFL settlement had originally barred claimants from seeking a separate settlement against the NCAA, but that clause has been removed. A separate lawsuit is pending against the NCAA in Illinois. ''I think the judge has forced them to make improvements,'' said University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias, who teaches product liability law. ''I think she always felt she had an obligation to the players, to be sure they were getting a fair deal ... given the treatment to date.''

The settlement would be capped at $4 million on behalf of players diagnosed with traumatic brain injury after their deaths, such as San Diego star Junior Seau or Pro Bowler Dave Duerson. Both of their families, through lawyers, have expressed concerns about the settlement. Duerson died at age 50. A family lawyer has called their projected $2.2 million award to the family ''not adequate.''

Jersey City, NJ — As the achievement gap continues to pose one of the greatest challenges to educators at all levels, the plight of the Black male learner poses an even greater challenge as evidenced by national achievement, dropout and suspension data. Motivating Black Males to Achieve in School and in Life provides educators with proven strategies toward motivating their Black male learners at all grade levels to take a greater interest in school, learning and preparing for academic excellence.

Jersey City, NJ based educator, “Principal” Baruti Kafele draws from his 20 years of experience in teaching Black males and turning around troubled urban schools to explain: • Why the challenges of educating Black male students are frequently different from educating other student populations.

• What all Black male

Baruti Kafele students need in their classroom experiences.

• How to assess your own attitudes and abilities to educate Black males.

• Which major problems outside of school could change the way you teach Black males.

• How to address the root causes of Black male self-identity.

• Why and how to develop a young men’s empowerment program.

Motivating Black Males to Achieve in School and in Life helps educators to understand why lack of proficiency in reading, writing, and math among Black males is a symptom of deeper problems that are generally ignored or overlooked. It provides educators with solutions that can be put into their daily practice right away to improve the performance of their Black male students.

Santa Ana, Californiabased Corinthian Colleges Inc. announced that the campuses being closed operate under the Everest name and are scattered in 11 states. The company faces multiple state and federal investigations.

Corinthian reached an agreement with the Education Department late last week that has it shutting down those campuses and putting 85 U.S.-based campuses up for sale. About a dozen others in Canada will also be sold.

The company was informing the 3,400 students at the affected campuses that if they have already started taking classes, they will be able to earn de-

grees. Operations at the campuses will wind down gradually, Corinthian spokesman Kent Jenkins said, and the company was in the midst of drafting a formal letter to students that will be sent once the Education Department approves of the language.

While most students will be able to finish their degrees at the same campuses where they enrolled, some might need to transfer to nearby schools with similar programs, Jenkins said. Some students will also be eligible for refunds under the agreement with the department.

Last month, the Education Department put Corinthian on heightened financial monitoring with a 21-day waiting period for federal funds. That was after the department said it failed to provide adequate paperwork and comply with requests to address concerns about the company's practices. The department said the concerns included allegations of fal-

sifying job placement data used in marketing claims to prospective students, and allegations of altered grades and attendance.

Some students left comments on the Everest Facebook page expressing concerns that their degrees would be worthless. Corinthian was reaching out to those students individually and asking them to call for more information.

"I can certainly reassure students that nothing that's happening right now affects the accreditation of their schools or the value of their degree," Jenkins said.

Corinthian owns Everest College, Heald College and WyoTech schools, which together enroll about 72,000 students.

The other campuses that are closing are in Bensalem, Pennsylvania; Chelsea, Massachusetts; Cross Lanes, West Virginia; Eagan, Minnesota; Fort Worth, Texas; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Kalamazoo, Michigan; Merrillville, Indiana; Salt Lake City; St. Louis; and McLean, Virginia.

State News AG Harris Issues Statement on Congresswoman Bass Calls for Department of Justice to Investigate CHP Beating U.S. Supreme Court Ruling

LOS ANGELES -- Attorney General Kamala D. Harris issued the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby: “A woman’s access to quality, affordable preventive healthcare coverage should not depend on her employer’s beliefs. Every woman should be able to make healthcare decisions for herself and her family.

I am deeply disappointed that the Court ruled to limit this important right.

The decision also opens a perilous loophole that

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris may enable private, forprofit companies to challenge other common-sense

laws—including those that protect against discrimination—based on the religious beliefs of their shareholders or managers.”

In January 2014, Attorney General Harris was joined by 13 states and the District of Columbia to file a friendof-the-court brief that urged the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit which held that for-profit businesses may exercise religion and therefore are covered by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.

State Controller John Chiang counting gimmicks to which we’ve become addicted and keeping the State as liquid as possible to avoid experiencing the payment delays and IOUs that plagued our State during the Great Recession.

"Another down cycle in the economy is inevitable -- we just don’t know when or how prolonged it might be," he added. "We should be vigilant about preparing for that day while we cel-

ebrate the great progress we've made to date."

Because the State's cash position was over $5 billion more than expected when the Governor released his May budget 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 June and fiscal year receipts and disbursements are compared against projections provided in the Governor's January budget proposal.

According to the monthly report covering California's cash balance, receipts and disbursements in June 2014, the General Fund had $1.9 billion in cash on June 30, marking the first time it has ended the fiscal year in the black since 2007, when it ended the year with $2.5 billion in the bank.

Controller Releases June Cash Update

SACRAMENTO - State Controller John Chiang released his monthly cash report for the month of June, and announced that the state's General Fund -the primary account from which California funds its day-to-day operations and programs -- ended the fiscal year with a positive cash balance for the first time since June 30, 2007.

A positive cash balance means that the state had funds available to meet all of its payment obligations without needing to borrow from Wall Street or the $23.8 billion available in its more than 700 internal special funds and accounts.

"While this is welcome news after seven years of record-high borrowing just to pay our everyday bills, we still have much work to do," Chiang said. "We should remain laser-focused on paying down the Wall of Debt, reversing the many ac-

In light of recent videos showing a California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer repeatedly punching a woman in the face during a confrontation on the 10 Freeway, Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-Calif.) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder requesting the Department of Justice conduct an investigation into whether the officer’s conduct amounts to a criminal violation of the woman’s constitutional right to protection from police brutality.

It is not clear when he will work again. Morgan starred in "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live."

The accident occurred in the northbound lanes of the New Jersey Turnpike near Cranbury, N.J. According to court documents, at milepost 71.4, traffic had slowed due to construction work ahead, reducing the speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour. Signs were posted approximately .4 miles south of milepost 71.4 warning of the speed reduction, according to the lawsuit.

Assemblyman Gorell Responds to HHS Facility Holding Undocumented Immigrant Children

Camarillo, CA – Due to the high volume of constituent questions and concerns related to the temporary housing of undocumented immigrant children at Naval Base Ventura County, State Assemblyman Jeff Gorell, whose district includes the base, released the following statement: Shortly after national stories broke that hundreds of undocumented immigrant children were being held at Navy Base Ventura County (NBVC) under the supervision of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Assemblyman Jeff Gorell contacted the Commander of the Base and continuously reached out to HHS officials requesting a briefing and tour of the facility.

Tracy Morgan Sues Wal-Mart for Deadly Accident

By Frederick H. Lowe Staff Writer, The NorthStar News & Analysis Kevin Roper, the WalMart truck driver, whose big rig crashed into a limousine carrying comedian and actor Tracy Morgan, drove 700 miles from his home in Jonesboro, Ga., to a Wal-Mart facility in Smyrna, Del., to immediately begin his shift, according to a lawsuit filed on Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey.

"Mr. Roper's commute was over 700 miles, which would have taken him over 11 hours if he drove 60 miles per hour," attorneys for Morgan charged in a civil lawsuit against WalMart Stores Inc. and WalMart Transportation, LLC. Both companies are based in Bentonville, Ark. Roper's shift began at 11:22 am on June 6. He was behind the wheel of a Peterbilt tractor trailer on June 7 at 12:54 a.m. when it crashed into the rear of a chauffeur-driven limo carrying Morgan, Ardley Fuqua, Jr., another comedian, Jeffrey Millea, Morgan's person assistant and Krista Millea, Jeffrey's pregnant wife.

The lawsuit notes there were many Wal-Mart distribution facilities that are much closer to Roper's home, including at least nine in Georgia.

"Wal-Mart not only failed to condemn, but condoned this practice of its drivers routinely violating Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations," the lawsuit charged.

The lawsuit also alleges that Wal-Mart gave Roper a defective truck.

“The truck being operated by Mr. Roper was stateof-the art, and equipped with sophisticated collision-avoidance systems all designed to be automatically brake the truck when it senses slowing traffic,” the lawsuit charged. “However, the truck did not automatically brake before the accident, and thus, Wal-Mart knew or should have known that one of the truck’s most important safety features was compromised.”

Assemblyman Jeff Gorell mails, his Assembly office and several other elected officials were finally granted a tour this afternoon.

Three primary concerns have been raised regarding the facility: (1) the condition and health of the children; (2) public health concerns; and (3) the timeline and Administration’s strategy for the use of NBVC for housing undocumented immigrants, which is not the intended use for a military base.

From our discussions with local health officials and what we observed at the facility today, our office believes that the facility is operating in a manner that does not compromise the health of children and the public. The overall conditions for the children are very good at this time.

Furthermore, HSS officials confirmed that they intend to use NBVC for a total of 120 days, of which 30 days have currently been used.

“Currently, the situation at Navy Base Ventura County has satisfactorily met our priority concerns regarding the health of the children and the local community,” stated Assemblyman Gorell. “We will continue to closely monitor and communicate with base leadership and HHS officials to ensure the best interests of the children and local residents are met.”

BOE Notifies California Retailers of Upcoming Visits

Sacramento – Retailers throughout the state are receiving letters from the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) notifying them about upcoming visits from Statewide Compliance and Outreach Program (SCOP) teams. The visits are intended to educate retailers about properly reporting sales and use tax, increase compliance with tax laws, and maintain outreach efforts to assure taxpayers that the state’s tax system is fair and equal for all Californians.

The BOE is mailing letters to 3,479 business owners in the following zip codes: Marina (93933), Castroville (95012), Chualar (93925), Moss Landing (95039), and Oxnard (93033, 93035, 93036).

Nine different SCOP teams located statewide (Oakland, Sacramento, San Jose, Van Nuys, Norwalk, Irvine, Riverside, Santa Clarita, and San Diego) conduct door-to-door, in-person visits in the zip code areas they cover. It is important for retailers to understand that the BOE asks only business-related questions, and does not inquire about personal financial information. Business-

es found to be operating without a seller’s permit are provided instructions on how to register with the BOE, as well as information about other necessary licenses. Home-based businesses are not visited.

Since 2008, SCOP has visited 483,495 businesses statewide to verify retailers are registered, and to ensure noncompliant businesses do not have an unfair advantage over registered businesses that are reporting their sales and use taxes and/or fees to BOE. The BOE has found that more than 98 percent of the California businesses are operating with the correct permits. However, noncompliance contributes to more than $2 billion in uncollected sales and use taxes that make up part of the state’s “tax gap” – the difference between the amount of taxes owed and the amount paid, negatively impacting all state taxpayers.

If business owners have any questions about these upcoming visits, they may contact their local BOE SCOP Team or visit the BOE’s SCOP Web page at http://www.boe.ca.gov/ sutax/SCOP_Overview.htm.

WASHINGTON -Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) are set to introduce legislation that aims to break the cycle of incarceration for nonviolent offenders.

The REDEEM Act takes aim at policies that affect both children and adults. Among its main provisions, the bill would: • Encourage states to increase the age of criminal responsibility to 18-yearsold, directing children away from adult criminal courts.

Currently, some states still try 16- and 17-year-olds as adults by default.

By Kevin McGill NEW ORLEANS — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was sentenced to 10 years in prison for bribery, money laundering and other corruption that spanned his two terms as mayor — including the chaotic years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.

U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan handed down the sentence.

Nagin was convicted Feb. 12 of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from businessmen who wanted work from the city or Nagin’s support for various projects. The

crat had defiantly denied any wrongdoing after his 2013 indictment and during his February trial.

Moments before sentencing, a subdued Nagin made a brief statement, thanking the judge for her professionalism. He made no apologies. “I trust that God’s going to work all this out,” he said.

After the sentencing Nagin smiled and hugged supporters as he walked out of the courtroom with his wife, Seletha, and other family members and friends.

Nagin is to report to the federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana, in September.

Teen’s Alleged Rape Goes Viral Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Now She’s Speaking Out Sentenced to Ten Years in Prison

By Inae Oh A 16-year-old teenager living in Houston is speaking out against her alleged rapists after images of her sexual assault went viral on social media.

In an interview with a local news station KHOU 11, the girl, who requested to be identified as Jada, says she was invited to a party last month where she was offered a drink of punch. She believes the drink was drugged.

Think Progress reports Houston police are currently investigating Jada’s claims.

Jada alleges she eventually passed out and was raped that night -- something she did not realize until disturbing images and videos of her unconscious body began appearing on social media. Many of the images

Jada also include individuals reenacting the alleged assault with the hashtag #JadaPose.

By Melissa McGlensey After nearly 50 years of separation, an elderly woman has been reunited with the family she feared was lost to her forever.

Celestine Gandy Thompson left Mississippi when she was 14 years old and eventually settled in Buffalo, New York, where she spent more than three decades of her life, according to WLOX 13 News. After surviving a fire in 1992, Thompson was in a coma for two years and has since experienced memory loss. The 90-year-old found it difficult to recall details about her family.

But after she remembered the name of her nephew Clarence Woolard, a woman that Thompson knows in Mississippi was able to track Woolard down -- and reunite Thompson with her large family.

"In our minds, me and my brother was talking that she wasn't here anymore, because we hadn't heard from her in so long," Donald Davis, another one of Thompson's nephews, told the outlet. "You know, we were overwhelmed and overjoyed when we found out that we had gotten in contact with her."

Five Essential Building Blocks for a Getting the Best Price for Your House Thriving Work Culture to Help Finance Your Retirement

What makes a successful business thrive? That’s what eight out of 10 new entrepreneurs would like to know, because their businesses fail within the first 18 months, according to Bloomberg.

Adam Witty has managed to turn plenty of heads in the business community as founder and CEO of Advantage Media Group, (http://advantagefamily.com/), an international publisher of business, selfimprovement, and professional development books and online learning.

Witty, who was selected for INC Magazine’s 30 Under 30 list of “America’s coolest young entrepreneurs” in 2011, says creating the right environment is crucial for success. The magazine also featured his company in their top 500|5000 list of the Fastest Growing Private Companies in America for 2012 and 2013, when the company ranked No. 42 in Media and No. 36 for Top 100 South Carolina Companies.

“You don’t have to be a business guru to recognize when a business is firing on all cylinders, that everyone is putting their skills to maximum use, working together, and actually having a good time. How to create that chemistry – that’s the question,” says Witty, the author of five books and an in-demand speaker and consultant on marketing, business development, media and publishing, and entrepreneurship topics.

“Of course, you need folks with the right quali-

fications who are willing to bring their A-game every day – that’s crucial.

But there are also character traits to look for: a positive, can-do attitude, for instance. If a person doesn’t fit in the mix, not only will he or she be less likely to bring their best, they can also compromise everyone else’s game.”

Witty talks about what it takes to get that hum every CEO wants, both in the office and in one’s respective industry.

• Staff your team with A-players; they’re worth the wait. An A-player is someone who brings all of the necessary qualifications to the table – perhaps more than you were expecting – and that something extra as a human being. Of course, that isn’t always readily apparent during a 45-minute interview; it can take time to see the true colors of a talented individual to come through.

• The importance of having fun. “Having fun not only helps your team do well, it’s a sign that you’re doing things right,”

By Jason Alderman If you always stop to read the fine print before signing anything, congratulations – your parents trained you well. If you don't, beware: Your signature could com-

mit you to a long-term gym membership you don't really want, an apartment you can't afford or worst of all, paying off someone else's loan you cosigned.

Broadly defined, con-

Witty says. Fun at work means having energy and enthusiasm while tending to the tasks at hand.

• Make employees, and clients, your extended family. A family environment significantly facilitates a team mentality, especially for those quiet geniuses who like to keep to themselves because they’re shy.

But why stop there? Extend the love to clients, suppliers and other crucial components of the business.

• Direction: understanding the “why;” encourage difference makers. “Our team members are driven by the ‘why’ of what we do,” Witty says. “The right content in the right person’s hands at the right time can change the world forever.

We believe in sharing stories, passion and knowledge to guide and help others learn and grow.”

• Commit to lifelong learning. Seek to uncover and promote the leader in every one on your team by encouraging all members to follow a path of personal and professional development.

Read Contracts Carefully Before Signing

Jason Alderman tracts are mutually binding agreements between two or more parties to do – or not do – something. It could be as simple as buying coffee (you pay $3 and the restaurant agrees to serve you a drinkable beverage), or as complex as signing a 30year mortgage.

Once a contract is in force it generally cannot be altered unless all parties agree. And, with very few exceptions (e.g., if deception or fraud took place), contracts cannot easily be broken.

Before you enter a contractual agreement, try to anticipate everything that might possibly go wrong.

For example: • After you've leased an apartment you decide you can't afford the rent or don't like the neighborhood.

• Your roommate moves out, leaving you responsible for the rest of the lease.

• You finance a car you can't afford, but when you try to sell, it's worth less than your outstanding loan balance.

• You buy a car and only later notice that the sales agreement includes an extended warranty or other features you didn't verbally authorize.

CONTRACTS, See page 12A

(NewsUSA) - Have you forgotten something in figuring where you're going to retire to?

Let's see, you've researched which states tax Social Security income (only 14, including Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, North Dakota and Vermont).

And you've even consulted the numbers-crunchers at Bankrate.com to learn which states scored highest overall in everything from cost of living to access to health care (South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, North Dakota and Wyoming).

By Phoebe Chongchua They’re an ambitious group known for being tech-savvy and dialed into the gadgets and devices that can help them professionally and socially, but are they able to achieve the American Dream–homeownership?

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 36 percent (the lowest level since 1982) of Americans under the age of 35 own a home.

That figure has declined from 42 percent in 2007.

A Fannie Mae survey reports that the majority of millennials do want to own rather than rent a home.

The problem is they’re saddled with tremendous debt, in large part from student loans, resulting in inability to come up with a downpayment. Tighter lending standards and rising home prices also make the dream seem impossible to achieve.

But there may be some hope. A Fannie Mae spokesperson indicated that there are some signs that lending is getting “a little less tight”.

Lenders are also starting to approve those with lower credit scores and those who have less than a 20 percent downpayment.

That’s good news for this group of nearly 80 million. However, where

are the homes they will be able to afford?

The construction of new homes, although improved, is still off. Builders struggle with a shortage of land to build on, skilled workers, and increasing cost of building materials. Employment opportunities are still weak and wages have suffered, forcing many millennials to live at their parents’ home even after college. This all amounts to economic uncertainty and buying hesitancy for millennials.

For those millennials who want to get into the real estate market, a sharp focus on their financial future is critical.

Age is playing a factor. As this generation hits the 30s, they’re even more excited about homeown-

ership. It’s predicted that Millennial households will increase, making up 24 million of the new households between 2015 and 2025.

Millennials are finding that even if they have a good job, cutting back on spending is key. Spending less and saving more - budgeting - proves to be an effective formula for coming up with a downpayment.

They’re also consulting certified financial planners.

Some very savvy millennials have even set up online businesses offering resources and fee-only affordable planning for their own generation.

With a knack for technology on their side, millennials are armed with lots of information to help them figure out the best financial choices. There are apps to help them track their spending, save more, create goals, measure progress, and more.

For the overall health of the housing market, it’s important for millennials to make smart choices.

When this group purchases homes, it starts the “trade up” cycle for current homeowners. According to the National Association Of Realtors, it will take about two years for the homeownership rate of millennials to rise.

Reports of rising home prices are making selling more attractive to the largest share of home owners in eight years, according to a gauge from the University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters. Few of the home owners surveyed said they expected to lose money if they decided to sell their home now.

The findings could signal the beginnings of a major shift for the housing market, which has been haunted by the low number of homes for sale across

the country.

Home price increases over the past two years may give more families confidence to sell their homes, alleviating low inventories and giving home buyers who were sitting on the sidelines because of fewer housing choice more incentive to make a move too, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Rising confidence among consumers could also translate into more sales in new homes. Last week, a report by the U.S. Census Bureau showed that new-home sales

surged nearly 19 percent last month, reaching the highest rate since May 2008.

Two home-building giants reported a steady turnaround in new orders and price rises too in the second quarter. Lennar reported that new orders were up 8 percent, with average sales prices of its homes blooming 14 percent year over year. KB Homes, meanwhile, reported that orders increased 5 percent and its average selling price increased 10 percent in the past year.

Your Bed is Aging You

Sure, we've heard that sleeping with your makeup on or sleeping with your face smushed into your pillow can cause you to age. But a new study says, it's not how you sleep, but how long you sleep that determines aging.

Researchers at Singapore's Duke-NUS School of Medicine say sleep quantity, not quality, can prove to be a factor for older adults. The study involved 66 Chinese adults aged 55 and over, taking MRI scans and administering cognitive assessments at two-year intervals. After looking at the participants' brain volumes, cognitive performance, and their self-reported sleep patterns, researchers discovered lower sleep duration can quicken brain aging.

Just one hour of sleep reduction increased the rate of brain ventricle enlargement, which is a known marker for age-related cognitive decline and

neurodegenerative diseases. Meanwhile, sleep quality wasn't shown to have any significant affect on brain aging or functioning.

"Our findings relate short sleep to a marker of brain aging," lead author June Lo said in a release.

Numerous recent studies on sleep duration and quality have tried to pinpoint the ideal hours of sleep for older adults.

A University of Oregon study said six to nine hours

is the ideal range to ensure optimal cognitive performance. Meanwhile, a British study said it's actually six to eight hours that are optimal.

Authors of the Duke study seem to suggest that somewhere in between could be the "sweet spot," adding that future research will look at the long-term effects of sleep duration and quality.

That's enough to make us get to bed early.

Comparison-Shopping for Life Insurance Made Easy

(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 com-

parison shop for different types of life insurance from among hundreds of companies -- allowing you to almost instantaneously see, for example, that 10year term insurance will run you anywhere from $111 to $632 annually -but everything is written in plain English (as opposed to insurance-speak).

"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., INSURANCE, See page 12A

By Michelle Brennan Hall As a financial adviser for more than two decades, I have found that many boomer couples have not prepared well for something they’re likely to experience: The transfer of assets from the husband to the wife when the husband dies.

According to U. S. life expectancy rates, women live, on average, until age 81 while men live, on average, until age 76.

The Challenge That Many Widows Face The problem is, for many couples, throughout their marriage the husband has been responsible for major financial planning decisions while the wife has managed the household and the checkbook.

As a result, many widows find themselves needing to handle financial assets for their livelihood when they have little experience doing so.

Not being engaged in money matters can expose wives to risks such as having less monthly income than they expect; having

more debt then they can handle or, worst of all, falling prey to unscrupulous investment scams.

I recommend couples take the following five steps to prepare for the potential shift of assets and for wives to gain financial prowess: 1. Attend annual meetings with your financial advisers together. I’m talking about ones with your CPA and your financial planner and estate lawyer, if you have them.

Both spouses will learn — among other things — where your money is invested, how much you pay in taxes and how your wills and trusts will impact your heirs.

2. Wives should make their own investment decisions if they have money in their own names in accounts such as IRAs. A financial adviser can present investment recommendations to consider.

3. Understand how much life insurance you each own. As you review assets annually, be sure go

over the amount of life insurance on each spouse.

This is especially important for two reasons. First, if you own life insurance so the surviving spouse will get money to pay off debt, like the mortgage, maintaining proper amounts of coverage is key. Second, when a spouse retires, the amount of employer-provided life insurance often diminishes or disappears.

Knowing whether that could happen is critical.

4. Be aware of your household’s debt situation.

Know how much each of you owe independently and jointly for the mortgage, auto loans, credit cards and any other outstanding debt.

5. Know what will happen to any guaranteed income payments if your spouse dies before you do.

Some pensions and Social Security benefits fall when the person receiving them dies. If that happens, it could create a serious gap between what a widow needs for income and the amount she’ll receive.

Three Easy Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Right Now

By Chris Green “How can I lower my high blood pressure?” remains a common question.

Here are three simple ways to lower your blood pressure.

1. Exercising regularly is the key. It’s good to get your heart rate up every single day. Also developing muscles throughout your body can decrease the chances of becoming injured.

2. Nutrition is very important! Monitor your sodium intake because large amounts of sodium can increase blood pressure.

3. Stress can break down the body when it comes to medical conditions. Acknowledging what stresses you out and making adjust-

ments when you’re in stressful environments can sig-

nificantly lower your blood pressure.

Snack Your Way to a Better Mood, Guilt Free!

By Gwendolyn Harris The next time you’re feeling upset or stressed, you don’t have to reach for the junk food. In fact, you shouldn’t. Sure, the sugar is soothing, or numbing depending on how you look at it, but eventually the high wears off and you’re back down and out where you started.

But, emotional eating doesn’t have to be a bad habit. Food can change your mood, so why not let it change yours for the better?

Whether you’re looking to get over the midday slump at work, get more energy or de-stress after a long day, these four foods are a healthier way to snack and feel good about it.

Drop a Pants Size with Acupuncture?

By M. Brooks Have you heard? A handful of needle pricks in your ear may help you lose that stubborn belly fat, according to a study published in the journal Acupuncture in Medicine.

“Stimulating specific points can help suppress appetite appetite and increase metabolism,” explains study co-author Sabina Lim. Researchers at Kyung Hee University in Seoul, South Korea studied the efficacy of acupuncture treatments in helping obese patients lose weight, comparing the standard Korean five point treatment with acupuncture stimulating only a single point.

For the study, needles were placed into points on the ear believed to correspond to hunger and activity in the spleen, endocrine system and the stomach.

Participants who received eight weeks of acupuncture saw a 6 percent decrease in BMI, a smaller waist circumference and a loss in overall body fat.

Auricular, or ear, acupuncture was first used by Dr. Paul Nogier in France in 1956. He found that he was able to cure his patients’ backaches with a single burn on the ear. His fascination with these findings led him to start mapping the ear, pinpointing the spots that correlate to

Amazon Plans Publishing Arm to 'Cut Out Middle Man’

By Katherine Rushton Amazon is planning to buy the rights of archive titles and new books in a bid to boost its margins by cutting out the “middle men” publishing houses whose books it sells online.

Last week the company made its first foray into publishing in America by buying the US rights to Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels.

Amazon is determined to cement its position as the lead seller of e-books.

Through its Kindle device, Amazon has an estimated 70pc of the ebook market but competitors are catching up.

“All we care about is the Kindle. Strategically, it is the number one priority, and the number two and three,” an Amazon source said.

By publishing its own books, Amazon could offer exclusive material on the Kindle, helping to fend off Apple’s iPad or Kobo, which has formed an alliance with WH Smith.

Last week WH Smith revealed plans for in-store Kobo “training” zones to help customers use the devices, making the most of the asset Amazon lacks – a physical presence on the high street.

Amazon has hired Larry Kirshbaum, former chief executive of Time Warner Publishing Group, to establish its publishing business in America. The business plans to launch its first batch of US books in the autumn. In an interview last week Mr Kishbaum said: “Despite the fact that Amazon is a very large company on the retail side … we’re really a very small publisher. We’re a start-up. We only have about 20, 25 people.”

Even so the move has alarmed the industry. The chief executive of one a UK publisher said the atmosphere between Amazon and book publishers was “febrile”.

Five of the industry’s

biggest names – Macmillan, Hachette, Penguin Group, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster – are fending off allegations in the US and Brussels of price fixing, collusion and anti-competitive behaviour with Apple, to help it compete with Amazon. Apple, Macmillan and Penguin all deny the charges, but the rows have exposed hostility towards the retailer over its strategy of cutting prices.

The Society of Authors said it has “been concerned for some time at the damaging impact its increasingly dominant position is having on all aspects of the industry”.

However, Jonny Geller, managing director of the literary agency Curtis Brown, which brokered the Bond deal, said: “From the author’s point of view, you want to reach the biggest audience. For certain authors, Amazon will offer something different.”

If you spend all of your time on your Mac, then you should really stop. Have a look outside every once in a while.

But if you must be physically attached to your computer, then you should at least be

comfortable and productive.

Here are four programs that will help your Mac run more smoothly and give you a better experience.

F.lux Natural light doesn't

look the same at 2 PM as it does at 1 AM, and neither should your computer screen. A program called F.lux. -- free for Mac, Windows, Linux and iOS -- changes the look of your computer, tablet or phone's screen as the day goes on.

All you have to do is tell the program what kind of light you have and where you live. It will control your screen automatically.

Monolingual Your computer is equipped to handle a lot of different languages, but you only speak a few, at most. You probably don't ever plan to change your computer's language to Flemish, for example. But this capability means your computer is filled with files to help it read hundreds of languages, files that take up a lot of space. Monolingual deletes the languages you don't need, making room on your computer for more important things. Monolingual is free to download and available for Mac only.

Cinch If you're a multitasker, you'll love Cinch. With this app, you can easily create split screens just by dragging and dropping windows. Cinch is available for Macs only, and you can buy a pro version for $7.

Adium If you're like me, you do much of your day-to-day communication via chat.

The problem is, between Gchat, Facebook chat, AIM, Yahoo Messenger and everything else, you end up with too many windows. Adium is a free app, available for Mac only, that pulls all of your chat clients together into one.

How to Remove Your House from Google Street View

By Alexis Kleinman Stars like Paul McCartney and Jimmy Page are asking Google to blur out their houses on Street View, but that's not a feature exclusive to celebrities. You can do it, too. Celebrities -- they're just like us!

There's not a whole lot of privacy to go around nowadays, so it's a good idea to take advantage of any opportunity for anonymity you can find. It's actually pretty easy to ask Google to blur out your house from Street View.

Here's how: Find your house on Street View by searching for your address on Google Maps.

We used Google's NYC office for this example.

Then you'll need to drop the little Street View man onto the street in front of

your house to get into Street View. After that, click "Report a problem" on the bottom right of the screen.

When you do that, you'll see the following page pictured above.

On that page, say that

you want your house blurred, provide your email address, type in the CAPTCHA and press submit. Hopefully Google will comply with your request, and you'll be one step closer to going off the grid.

By Rebecca Hiscott Wondering why that YouTube video isn't loading? Blame your Internet service provider.

At least that's what YouTube is saying in a relatively new feature that ranks ISPs based on how easily they stream videos on the site.

Some YouTube users are seeing a blue bar reading “Experiencing interruptions? Find out why,” under choppy, buffering or fuzzy-looking videos, Quartz reported. The bar links to Google’s Video Quality Report, a feature that ranks various ISPs by their video streaming performance.

The blue bar began appearing at the end of May, at the same time Google's Video Quality Report launched, YouTube spokesman Matt McLernon told The Huffington Post.

“You may be prompted to view the report if you’re experiencing poor playback on your computer

(such as frequent rebuffering or fuzzy video),” a Google Help page for the Video Quality Report explains.

If you click through to the report, you'll find ISPs in your area ranked into three categories. “YouTube HD Verified” providers offer the best video service, followed by "Standard Definition" ISPs, which offer smooth playback for standard-definition YouTube videos. The most shameful designation is "Lower Definition," which is reserved for providers that can’t even offer reliable streaming for stan-

dard YouTube videos.

With this new feature, Google, which owns YouTube, appears to be wielding its might to influence the debate over the future of net neutrality. Providers like Verizon and Comcast have fought to force companies like Netflix and YouTube, which require extra bandwidth to host and stream videos, to pay higher fees for Internet “fast lanes” that make smooth playback possible.

Defenders of net neutrality argue that all companies should be entitled to the same level of service, regardless of bandwidth.

name, which naturally has to be emoji-only as well.

(Sadly, most of the singleemoji usernames are already taken .)

The app's creators, Tom Scott, 29, and Matt Gray, 27, told The Huffington Post in an email that they were inspired to create Emojli after witnessing the recent success of Yo -- an app that managed to raise $1 million despite doing nothing except allowing users to send the word "Yo" to one another.

“Yo was the last mostly-

useless app to get a load of attention, so I guess we're the next one,” Scott told The Independent.

When Yo, which took all of eight hours to code and proved to be exceptionally vulnerable to hackers, turned a pretty profit moments after hitting the market, tech writers speculated that maybe this was the useless app that would finally burst the tech bubble.

But Emojli -- which, admittedly, could be the next flash-in-the-pan novelty app -- hasn't raised its first million yet. Besides, Scott and Gray see it as a mostly comic endeavor.

"We weren't sold on [the idea] until we realized that usernames should be emoji too," Scott told HuffPost.

"At that point, we burst out laughing and realized we had to build it." Since the app was conceived just two weeks ago, they're still working out the kinks and plan to launch in July or August.

YouTube Wants You to Know Why Your Videos Won't Load

There's an Emoji-Only Social Network Coming Soon

It's incredible to realize, but there are still people in the world who prefer to talk to one another using boring old words. I mean, what is this, the Iron Age? But thanks to Emojli, a forthcoming “emoji-only social network,” we're one step closer to a completely wordless world. The app, which is set to launch on iOS this summer, is exactly what it sounds like: all emoji, all the time.

The app is premised on the notion that things such as spam and hashtags have "broken" social networks, and that the only solution is an emoji-only method of communication. While we're unconvinced by that line of reasoning, we do know that texting sure beats saying "I love you," so we (as well as 10,000 other users) are willing to give it a shot.

Although the service doesn’t have a firm launch date, you can already visit emoj.li to reserve a user-

President Obama’s 54 Problems

Lee A. Daniels the court’s three female justices, said they have stripped women workers of any guarantees that contraception coverage will automatically be part of their health insurance.

That’s because these rulings aren’t about “religious liberty.” They actually have an entirely different purpose: jerry-rigging a legal framework around the efforts of the white Christian right to impose its religious beliefs on other Americans.

The Christian Right has been pursuing that goal, of course, for decades. But it’s become clear in recent years that it was losing control on two of its most important issues: women’s reproductive rights, and the rights of gays and lesbians, especially regarding same-sex marriage. So, now they’ve re-cast themselves as “victims” whose “freedom” to adhere to their religious beliefs is being violated.

It’s a scam the conservative political movement is pushing in brazen fashion—as exemplified by a strikingly apt word in the Hobby Lobby opinion written by Justice Samuel A. Alito.

That word is “fiction.”

On page 18 of the majority opinion, Alito acknowledges that defining corporations as persons in legal terms is a “fiction,”

Harry C. Alford

but asserts that “the purpose of this fiction is to provide protection for human beings … When rights, whether constitutional or statutory, are extended to corporations, the purpose is to protect the rights of those people.” A moment later, Alito defines “those people” in this way: “And protecting the free-exercise rights of closely-held corporations thus protects the religious liberty of the humans who own and control the companies.”

As Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank pointedly noted two days before the Wheaton College decision, that sentence does not contain any mention of the rights of these corporations’ employees.

In other words, in declaring that a family-owned corporation – which, after all, is an artificial entity created in accordance with governmental regulations – can, in effect, take on the religious coloration of “those who own and control” it, the court’s conservative bloc was indulging in another of the “fictions” by which it’s been trying to SCAM, See page 12A

In 2008 the whole world applauded the United States for electing its first African American president. No part of the world was happier than the continent of Africa with its 54 nations.

After all, this president was half Caucasian and half Kenyan. He was a direct child of Africa not just a descendent. But to everyone’s surprise and disappointment, President Obama during his first four years showed very little love for his father’s homeland. In fact, when African heads of state (President/Prime Minister) would request a meeting with this new president they were denied. Even the First Lady of Kenya requested a short meeting with our First Lady and she was told in so many words, that will never happen.

As we would visit various nations in Africa we noticed that the disappointment started morphing into anger. We all thought that relations between Africa and our business entities would improve based on who was elected to lead the largest economy on earth. No, it didn’t happen. China, India, Pakistan, Turkey, etc. saw their relationships with African nations improving. It is only natural that you love the one who loves you

Marian Wright Edelman lost four, plus a sister who was crippled in a fight over pills and was pushed off a roof in the projects. But the others all died from poverty and violence as well. My mother was shot as well, and all the years you would go through that stuff, and all of our neighbors were going through that stuff, we were strangled by this code of silence where you were never able to talk about it.

You weren’t allowed to talk about this stuff because our neighborhood was controlled by organized crime, but also because the neighborhood was in a state of denial, choosing to believe what the media says—that this stuff doesn’t happen here, this stuff happens ‘over there,’ to ‘those people.’

“That’s Black and Latino people, in particular.

[South Boston] is very well known for the race riots of the 1970s, when the neighborhood broke into racist riots over desegregation in the city of Boston, but had an awful lot in common with those neighborhoods that we were trying to keep out—an awful lot in common in terms of class.”

Michael knew the code of silence in his neighborhood very well because it was the way he was brought up. In his own family, he was “the quiet one” of the

back. So, the billions of annual dollars that Africa trades with started to go at an increasing rate to nations other than America.

What really woke us up is when our Millennium Challenge Account awarded $800 million to Ghana to build a national highway. They named the highway the George W. Bush Highway in honor of the president who gave them the funding. However, when it came to selecting a construction company for this project they chose a Chinese firm at the request of the President of China.

This denotes the anger in the leaders of Africa.

With the United States having an African American president, our business competitors picked up their game. China kicked it off with an “African Summit”.

Their president invited every African president to come to its capital Beijing and receive heavy love.

They entertained them lavishly. Even gave one big State Dinner in the historical Great Hall. They gave them $20 billion in financial aid with a promise of another $10 billion. The president of China promised to provide financial loans for every major project they plan as long as a Chinese firm was perform-

ing the contract.

Next came Japan who hosted its African Summit in Tokyo. The Japanese president gave fifteen minutes of personal time with each of the 46 participating heads of state. The nation chipped in $30 billion in financial aid plus the funding of 10,000 internships for young African entrepreneurs and students.

India and the European Union had their African Summits also. Even Russia is now getting into the “Love Africa Movement”.

They are providing financial aid and lending power to the continent. They are leveraging this positive relationship to gain needed votes at the UN as they start attacking their neighboring nations.

Yes, everyone jumped into the game ahead of us.

Supreme Court Seeks to Gut Labor Unions

Breaking the Code of Silence Michael Patrick MacDonald is a storyteller. Michael recently encouraged the crowd of young leaders at the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools’® National Training to understand the power of storytelling to create change.

His first book, All Souls: A Family Story from Southie, became a national bestseller and won an American Book Award. All Souls and its follow-up, Easter Rising: A Memoir of Roots and Rebellion have captivated readers with their accounts of his childhood in South Boston’s Old Colony housing project and the poverty, crime, and addiction that devastated his Irish Catholic neighborhood and killed four of his siblings.

He said All Souls begins with a description of an event he organized in his own community: “I organized an All Souls Day vigil to get the neighborhood to start to come out and to tell the truth about all the deaths in the neighborhood, from murders, overdoses, all of the things that we didn’t talk about, all of the things that we pretended didn’t exist.

Beyond the Rhetoric:

The Supreme Court’s ‘Religious Freedom’ Scam Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued two decisions that the Court’s conservative majority and the larger conservative movement pretended were about “religious freedom.”

In the one case, involving the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores and the Conestoga Wagon Specialties company, which makes wood cabinets, the majority ruled that a federal law guaranteeing “religious freedom” means family-owned corporations don’t have to provide insurance coverage for contraception under the Affordable Care Act. That decision, which the Court issued on June 30, seemed to leave in place the law’s provision governing nonprofit organizations in place. The law allowed nonprofit organizations to, if they wished, transfer the delivery of free contraception to others.

However, in the second ruling, which the Court handed up on July 3 and specifically involved Illinois’s Wheaton College, a conservative Christian institution, the court majority temporarily exempted it from having to comply at all with the contraception provisions of the law.

Critics of the decisions, which produced extremely sharp dissents from

11 children, and as each of his four brothers died he initially, felt “kind of stunned speechless.” But when he started working “over there” in some of Boston’s other neighborhoods he realized he wasn’t the only one holding a story inside – and learned how much more power people had when they started letting their stories out and sharing them with each other.

He said, “I decided to write a memoir after years of doing community organizing, especially with a lot of mothers of murdered children, from around the city of Boston – from Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, the Black and Latino neighborhoods, as well as eventually South Boston and Charlestown, the poorer White neighborhoods . . . and I would organize these press conferences or rallies, and I’d push them to the microphone to get them to tell their stories. I saw what happened to them when they told their stories in whatever amount that they wanted to and were capable of telling—how it changed them, and it was also changing the world.”

SILENCE, See page 12A

The Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Harris v Quinn essentially means that personal care attendants who are represented by a union do not need to pay a service fee that would cover the cost of representing and advocating on their behalf. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority justified this decision purportedly on the basis of freedom of speech.

What is clear is that the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has a sniper’s scope trained on workers and unions. They will soon aim to eliminate the ability of labor unions to collect service fees from non-members to cover representation.

The implications of this are profound but a little context is necessary.

In the public sector, there are many states, counties and municipalities that permit union membership and collective bargaining, but do not require that employees in a given agency join the union. While they may join the union, they are obligated — if there is such an agreement– to pay a service or agency fee. The idea here is that regardless of whether one is a union member or not, the union is obligated by law to represent fairly and fully all workers in what is called a “bargaining unit,” which is a recognized body

of workers who share similar interests.

This means that whether a given worker likes the union or not, if they have any challenges, the union must represent them. As you can imagine, representation costs money, including legal fees, cost of staff, administrative costs, etc. Additionally, the union lobbies on behalf of those workers around salaries, benefits and working conditions. Thus, in the absence of a fee, a worker can benefit from all that the union brought about but pay nothing. This is why agency or service fees are permitted.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority is trying to say that this is a violation of free speech.

Thus, using the Supreme Court’s logic, a person working in a given situation who gains the benefits of a labor union and can be guaranteed representation, should not have to pay anything. This is frequently called “right to work,” but a more accurate description is freeloading.

Think about it for a moment. Is there any other institution in the U.S. that permits this? If you do not agree with the policies of a government, can you choose not to pay taxes yet gain the benefits of public education, water, police

and fire? Of course, not.

So, why should it be different in a collective bargaining context?

The answer is simple.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority, along with other forces on the political Right, simply wish to gut labor unions.

It is really that simple and that deadly. And, unless they are stopped, they will succeed in doing just that.

I was wearing a T-shirt the other day from the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists. A guy sitting next to me on a plane said to me: ”Yes, we really need unions. At a time when there is such a polarization of wealth, we really need unions to fight for us.” I smiled. It is not rocket science. Which is precisely why the forces of wealth and greed are so determined to bring about an extinction moment for unions.

CITIGROUP From page 1A settlement holds Citi accountable and compensates the state’s pension funds that protect the retirement savings of hardworking Californians.”

As part of the settlement, Citigroup acknowledged it made serious misrepresentations to the public, including investors, about the mortgage loans it securitized in residential mortgage-backed securities. The resolution also requires Citigroup to provide relief to underwater homeowners, distressed borrowers, and affected communities through a variety of means including financing affordable rental housing developments for low-income families in high-cost areas. The settlement does not absolve Citigroup or its employees from facing any possible criminal charges.

An investigation conducted by Attorney General Harris showed that offering documents for the securities failed to accurately disclose the true characteristics of many of the underlying mortgages, and that due diligence to weed out poor quality loans had not been adequately performed.

As part of the settlement, Citigroup will provide $2.5 billion in relief to aid consumers across the country, including Californians, in the form of principal forgiveness, loan modifications, donations to housing and legal assistance nonprofits and efforts to reduce blight. $4.5 billion will be paid to settle federal and state civil claims.

The settlement related to California’s pension funds arises from the investigation into mortgagebacked securities by Attorney General Harris’s Mortgage Fraud Strike Force, which was formed in May 2011 to comprehensively investigate misconduct in the mortgage industry. The Attorney General’s additional efforts to investigate the mortgage crisis include securing an estimated $20 billion for California in the National Mortgage Settlement and sponsoring the California Homeowner Bill of Rights, a package of laws instituting permanent mortgage-related reforms.

In November of last year, Attorney General Harris announced a $300 million settlement with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. over its misrepresentations in residential mortgage-backed securities sold to CalPERS and CalSTRS.

Later, standing beside four visibly delighted children from Chibok, she blew out the candles of a birthday cake.

Malala was shot shortly after boarding a school bus in 2009 by Taliban insurgents in Pakistan’s Swat district, an event that turned her into a global symbol of defiance against the militants. Similarly, the abduction of 300 secondary school girls has shone a global spotlight on the atrocities of Boko Haram, whose name means “western education is forbidden”.

A social media campaign, #bringbackourgirls, drew support from Angelina Jolie and Michelle Obama. But attention has since waned, and a small but determined group of relatives who hold daily rallies for the girls say they have been intimidated by the government, which has faced a barrage of negative publicity over its handling of the incident.

Meeting a group of parents of the abducted girls, Malala said: “Thank you for your great work and for such courage … you are really brave parents.” Some of the parents wiped away tears as she spoke.

Later, parents and four of the girls attended the daily rally in the centre of Abuja, sitting in silence as a crowd chanted. One supporter likened the rallies to a “long battle in which we have faced arrest, intimidation and distractions”.

“It’s great for Malala to come here and refocus attention on the issue. At the same time, that it took Malala coming to meet our president is an indictment on how Nigeria is handling this crisis,” said Toyin, a supporter in her 20s.

Shettima Haruna, whose daughter Margaret was abducted, stood up at the rally and addressed the crowd: “We parents thank you all for standing with us all this while. If not for your support, interest would have died down completely. The only reason this case is till receiving attention is through this group.”

Another Chibok resident explained why more of the mothers weren’t there: “Some of the women are so devastated by the events they can’t even cook any more.”

Boko Haram’s half-decade battle to impose an Islamic caliphate in Africa’s most populous nation has become increasingly bloody in the last year. Civilians have increasingly been targeted, and last year the insurgents burning dozens of schoolchildren alive in their dorms. Pakistan and Nigeria have some of the highest numbers of children out of school. In Nigeria, girls make up around twothirds of the 10.5 million outside the school system.

According to Justin Forsyth of Save the Children, which is working in partnership with the Malala Fund, 50 million children living in conflict situations are denied their right to education. “In countries like Syria, South Sudan and Nigeria, schools are targeted in attacks and often used as military bases. Many of the children I’ve met have told me that one of their top priorities is to return to school,” he said.

LIGHT From page 2A missed judge by people, having propaganda and exaggerated twisted stories written about me in the newspaper. Not knowing who to trust, who still believed in me, not knowing who wanted me to make it through? And who wants me to crash hard. These are some of the thoughts everyone gets, when going through a storm, only in adversity do you come to grips with life. Here are three quick lessons I learned.

Lesson 1: Materialistic Goals are really over rated. Don’t get me wrong I like nice things too, but the thought of selling everything and starting over was, in a tiny way, liberating. I hear of people that after losing their homes and selling most

Friday

everything feel freedom in a way they had never known. True wealth is what money cannot buy things like health, freedom, a good night sleep, a loving family, and faithful friends.

Lesson 2: Angels also exist in Human Form. While passing through the tunnel of my hell and during my fight to bounce back, I had to quickly find out which people truly cared and wanted me to bounce back, and those who wanted me to fall back. The earlier in life, you find out who’s for you and who’s not will give you a greater perspective on how to spend your time, money, energy, and most importantly who to spend it with. The generosity of a few people in my church rocked my world in a way that left me forever changed. I now get the phrase “While you may only be one person in this world, you may be the world to one person”. I revived my belief in humanity.

Lesson 3: Miracles Are All Around But You Have To Look For Them. As a pastor I am required to be clear and strong as I lead people and help comfort their soul. You can’t be broken and effective at the same time; I had to “faith it till you make it”. By faithing my strength and even my smile, I slowly felt both again. I witnessed the miracle of Almighty God working through the universe and people that helped me get though my storm. I am still bouncing back in some ways. I have to say that the person I have become. I not only love me, but I now like me, and I am totally okay with everybody else, the way they are, in fact, what makes us all great is our differences, not our sameness. In a crazy way, I have to say, I would not change one thing that has happened to me. God takes what the enemy meant for bad and he turns it into good.

PRIORITIES From page 2A based on your preferences. And now you would prefer to lose those ten pounds! Until it becomes a priority, it won’t happen. You must make a choice to focus on your priority now.

Changing your preferences isn’t easy. It’s not like you get to choose between cheese or pepperoni pizza…now you have to choose something other than pizza …something like grilled chicken! And you feel deprived. Feeling deprived may even cause you to forget all about your priorities and indulge in the comfort of that pizza…your preference in the moment. It can become a vicious cycle where none of your needs are met.

One of the ways you can become more conscious of your actions is to simply ask yourself this question…

What matters most?

Perhaps you need to continue to ask…

Does this choice serve my best interests? Does it help me to move closer to achieving my goal?

What takes precedence? Is it the momentary pleasure of eating the pizza? Or is it the end result of mastering my weight? Is my health and fitness more important than the fondness for the flavor?

What choice will make me feel more confident and in control?

Preferences and priorities can create difficulties in all aspects of our lives. It becomes a control issue.

What is controlling your choices?

Your preferences or your priorities?

Marriage may be a priority but our preferences may lead us to make choices which jeopardize our marriage. We may desire financial stability and set a priority to save money, but our fondness for fine dining, travel, or designer clothes stops us from doing so. Graduating from college is only accomplished when priorities overcome preferences.

Building a successful career requires making conscious choices based on the most important considerations.

When faced with a decision between conflicting desires, it is always in your best interest to take the time to consider which decision serves your priority. You can be faced with many appealing opportunities, some of which may be entertaining but send you in the wrong direction.

You are creating your life with your thoughts and your actions. Focus your thoughts on your goals and aspirations which propel you forward to success. Make your self and your life a priority. Choose what matters most! You have the power to make the choice right now in the moment.

Your life is a series of moments.

Each moment gives you the opportunity to focus on the choice which matters most. When you live your life aligned with what is important to you, your priority becomes your preference. It all works together to serve you. You actually get both at the same time. All your needs are met. All your desires are fulfilled.

Sweet!

PRACTICE From page 2A in order to sharpen our craft.

Through many observations, I see that so many people who want overnight fame and success. We live in what is often referred to as a microwave generation – everyone wants things quick and fast. Here is the problem with quick, fast and in a hurry: it doesn’t usually last. You can get fast results, but you may not be able to hold onto them for long.

People can take diet pills to lose weight, but in order to have lasting results they should change their eating habits and exercise long term.

People like to take risks gambling, so that they can win money quickly.

However, having long term employment and investing in things that will bring residual income will continually keep money coming in. Getting something quickly isn’t better than having something lasting.

If we look at some of the best athletes, musicians, singers, etc. we find that they have to practice and rehearse a lot. They go over the same things over and over again until they know it like the back of their hand.

Doing something repetitively will cause it to become a natural action. It will become like second nature. The people who do very well in school are people who actually put in the time studying. Time, effort and en-

ergy that are put into practicing will always produce favorable results.

Practice, training and rehearsals are a part of every successful person’s lifestyle. Practice makes perfect.

You can reap the benefit of someone else’s success, but you will be better off working hard and doing what it takes to produce your own success. You can wait for overnight success or you can choose to work for your success. Not only will working for it better prepare you for it when it comes, but it will also make you more appreciative of it. When you appreciate things you will take better care of them. Like the saying goes “Hard work beats talent…” Be willing to work for it.

Exercise your skills and strengthen your abilities. Grow. Get stronger.

Be better. Take the time to practice.

Rehearse. Nothing will be produced if you don’t do anything! If you really want it, you won’t sit around and miss it. It’s too easy to be lazy and sit around with people who don’t require anything of you. But when you do, you will miss your opportunity to succeed. You work on your craft so that you will get better and move onto higher levels.. Decide to rise above your circumstances.

Make a conscious effort to get out there and do your best. Push to win.

Keep practicing. Even though you may not see immediate results, if you keep on not only will you see better results, but you will see lasting results. The people that win are the ones who don’t give up. The ones who rise up about the rest are the ones who put in the work.

CHP From page 3A Patrol Assistant Chief Chris O’Quinn told reporters. “There are events that led up to this. Until all that’s collected and put into perspective we aren’t going to be able to make a determination,” The agency didn’t identify the officer, but says he has been put on paid administrative leave.

“The CHP, to justify the beating, (are) saying they were trying to protect her from harm,” Harper said. “With a beating like that no one wants to be protected. She only needed protection from the officer.”

Pinnock is in a hospital under an involuntary psychiatric hold.

“We are concerned she’s still being involuntarily kept at a facility,” she said.

A California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer savagely beat an unarmed woman on a freeway onramp July 1 in Los Angeles, California.

The assault was captured on video by an onlooker and shared widely on social media. The beating comes amidst a nationwide escalation in police brutality and a push by the state to militarize the domestic police force.

In the video, a CHP officer tackles a woman to the ground, forces himself on top of her, and begins punching her repeatedly. The woman tries to protect herself, but the officer begins to target her face directly, landing repeated full-blown punches to her head.

The shooter of the video footage, David Diaz, told CBS News that there were at least fifteen punches thrown by the officer, the majority of them hitting the woman’s face while the officer sat on top of her.

Diaz remarked that the officer, who he described as a strong and big man, could have easily killed the woman.

The woman, whose age and name have not yet been released, was identified by her family as a “great-grandmother.” Though the extent of her injuries is unknown, she is currently in the hospital.

The CHP claimed that the officer had been dispatched after receiving a call about a woman who was on the interstate 10 freeway. According to Diaz, the woman had begun to get off the freeway before being tackled and beaten. Assistant Chief of the CHP, Chris O’Quinn, also acknowledged this fact.

Diaz told the Associated Press in a phone interview that the woman was walking off the freeway when the officer began shouting at her. According to Diaz, the woman turned away from the officer and walked back onto the edge of the freeway.

According to Diaz, the CHP officer “agitated the situation more than helped it.”

“He grabs her and she kind of shuns him back - a very natural instinct. Of course he is stronger than her so he grabs her, throws her down.” Diaz continued, “With every punch, it’s bouncing her head off the concrete.”

According to other eyewitness reports, the woman “looked terrified... she looked just gone.” The same witness said the woman appeared to be barefoot and was carrying around several bags. Several news sites have suggested that she was homeless. In Los Angeles many homeless people live next to freeway onramps.

Attorney and family spokesman Caree Harper held a press conference outside of the hospital where the

woman is receiving treatment. She said, “We want the focus to be what he was doing to her, not what she was doing.” Harper continued, “She was getting beat like an animal. No one should ever be beat like that.”

After the repeated punches to her face, an off-duty cop ran up to the scene. The officer then handcuffed the woman. Despite the extensive bashing of the woman’s face, the CHP did not report any injuries whatsoever in their police report.

The woman was then taken for a 72-hour mental examination under custody.

O’Quinn told a press conference that he could not say why the officer responded in the way he did because it had not yet been evaluated. O’Quinn, however, defended the officer. He stated that the officer was more knowledgeable about freeway conditions than the “citizen.”

“The most dangerous thing we face is traffic,” he said, suggesting that the officer was justified in brutalizing the woman for her own good.

An investigation into the incident is underway.

This police beating comes amid an escalation of violence in the United States from police forces. In May an Atlanta SWAT team critically wounded a one-year-old toddler with a flash grenade. In the same month three police officers killed an unarmed man, who was backing away from them, in a migrant farm worker community in Salinas, California.

In April a man was shot to death as he fled from police in Long Beach, California, again, unarmed.

Just this past week a police officer in Indiana was caught on video pushing a paraplegic man out of his wheelchair and onto concrete, claiming that the man had driven over his foot.

In January of this year the CHP was forced to pay $250,000 in damages to a pregnant woman who was abused by several officers. The woman was pulled over for talking on her cell phone; the police said she was trying to resist arrest in 5-mileper-hour rush hour traffic. Four or five officers forced her, violently, to the ground with guns drawn. She was then kicked and hogtied. All of the involved officers remain on the force.

Last month, Paul also introduced a bill to restore voting rights for people who are in prison for minor drug offenses.

Given that it is indeed a “fiction” to pretend the ruling was not a politically driven gift to the Christian right, here are some questions to think about: How long will it be before some conservative Christian business owners require their female employees to wear dresses (no slacks, please) down to their ankles? And for all employees to genuflect before crosses set up at entrances to their businesses? And to join them in “prayer sessions” before and after the workday? And to attend only those houses of worship they “approve” of?

Evidently, as President Obama reflects on his legacy he has decided to do something – even if it is token. If he needs to make up for lost opportunities, he had better do something fabulous. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Finally, he has called for an African Summit – August 4 - 6. All of us leaped in joy but as the itinerary is being formed there seems to be a lot missing. As opposed to the summits of our competitors, no African head of state will receive a one on one with our president. They will be herded into a room for some “interactive dialogue”. What? They are supposed to come all the way over here for a lecture? The Senate will hold some meetings with them. Cabinet secretaries have been instructed to have some meetings with the contingent. This is insulting. A president is supposed to meet with the other presidents. A cabinet secretary is a subordinate to a president.

Finally, I see no item in the itinerary that will afford them a meeting with our Congressional Black Caucus. That seems eerie. Our competitors must be laughing. African presidents are not laughing.

SILENCE From page 11A Michael could see the impact these mothers were having on their communities, especially by speaking out against gun violence. He could also see that sharing their stories was helping reduce their own risks of suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, and need for revenge against the people who had taken their family members’ lives, and breaking their silences was even changing them in other ways: “They had a really powerful strength, and they completely changed from ‘high-risk’ people to really powerful people . . . I saw what it did for them . . . and then they started to push me out to the front to the microphone, and I would give little bits of my story, and tell of my siblings that were killed, and eventually wanted to tell more and more because I started to feel what it does for you.”

Michael ultimately learned a lesson that he compared to reading Howard Zinn’s beloved classic A People’s History of the United States: “When I even just saw the title of that book and started to think about what ‘people’s history’ means,

that means that all of us have to tell our stories, and that’s ultimately a people’s history — and the more we can encourage that in young people, the more we will have a more complete story.”

LIMON From page 14A at Limon and mortally wounded him.

As the officers fired at Limon, Zepeda, out of ammunition and badly wounded, stood up, raised his empty gun at officers, and assumed a firing stance. Officers subsequently shot and killed him.

Following the shooting, Oxnard Police Chief Jeri Williams requested investigative assistance from several agencies, including the DA’s office, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, and the U.S. Attorney General’s Office. An independent weapons tactics expert from Bellingham, Washington was also hired.

It was a lengthy and exhaustive investigation that Totten described as a “great search for truth,” a search he estimates may have cost between one-hundred to two-hundred thousand dollars. Assistant Sheriff Gary Pentis, who headed up his unit’s investigation, described the process.

“We searched 10 different locations and did 150 interviews,” he said.

“We undertook probably one of the most complicated officer involved shootings that I can recall in my career.”

After a year and a half, in which separate investigators sifted through reports, documents, interviews, diagrams, photographs, video recordings, radio transmissions, and onsite scene examinations, the DA’s office concluded that the shootings of Villa and Zepeda and the accidental shooting of Limon were justified within the parameters of California state law because the officers believed they were in danger and their responses were reasonable. Totten concluded that “officers acted in self defense of others and in direct response to the imminent threat to life posed by Zepeda.”

George Williams, the independent tactical weapons expert, also concluded in a 54-page report that based on what the officers believed about threats to their safety, the shootings of Zepeda, Villa, and Limon were justified. “Based upon my analysis of each officer’s deadly force decision-making,” Williams wrote, “it is my opinion that each acted in a reasonable manner expected of well-trained California peace officers.”

Now that the primary investigation has been completed, the DA has filed multiple felony charges against Hernandez and Villa, including conspiracy and weapons charges and charges for committing these offenses for the benefit and in association with a criminal street gang.

Chief Williams said that further investigation of the incident would continue by outside agencies and that the Oxnard Police Department will conduct its own “internal review where we will examine our policies, procedures, and training to determine if any changes are in order.”

Williams also announced that she will hold a separate press briefing with the Limon family at some point in the near future.

Bobbi Kristina Blasts Angela Bassett Wynton Marsalis Trumpets Youth, Musical Over Whitney Houston Biopic Diversity at Annual London Residency

By Brennan Williams In recent years Bobbi Kristina has expressed her interest to portray her mother, Whitney Houston, in a biopic. And with the announcement of Yaya DaCosta starring in Lifetime’s developing film based on the late icon, one may question director, Angela Bassett’s thoughts on the 21-year-old’s request.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bassett opened up on whether or not Kristina was ever in consideration for the coveted role.

“No, I did not think about that. I did not think about casting her,” she admitted. “And probably for a number of reasons, you know. One being that she’s not an actress. I know she’s acted here and there.

I know she’s been on their family’s reality show, but she’s not an actress and acting is a craft.”

Why Uzo Aduba Wouldn't Change Her Name for Acting

By Jessica Dickerson No matter how famous you are, the world struggles with unique, beautiful names; something Lupita Nyong'o, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idina Menzel and Gabourey Sidibe know well.

Yet "Orange Is The New Black" starlette Uzo Aduba made a conscious decision not to cave to pressure of changing her name to something more convenient for Hollywood.

She told The Improper Bostonian that her reasoning had everything to do with something her mom said to her as a little girl.

When I started as an actor? No, and I’ll tell you why. I had already gone through that. My family is from Nigeria, and my full name is Uzoamaka, which means “The road is good.” Quick lesson: My tribe is Igbo, and you name your kid something

By Jon Blistein Usher and Nicki Minaj are the latest to hop inside Pharrell’s unstoppable disco time machine, and the trio have come away with the horn-laden dance floor burner “She Came to Give it to You.” The track will appear on Usher’s upcoming asyet-untitled eighth LP and finds the R&B star belting a sizzling tale of club love around a seductive Pharrell groove that’s as funky and soulful as what we’ve come to expect from his recent work. Minaj busts through the door the only way she can, running full steam with boasts about her globe-trotting club takeovers and safe sex metaphors involving the gloves of baseball players and O.J.

By Jeremy Gaunt LONDON - The solo played by U.S. jazzman Wynton Marsalis to close his now-annual residency at London's Barbican was a rare personal moment in what was otherwise a master class in sharing the limelight.

In lieu of a full-fledged encore with his 14-strong Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO), Marsalis entertained with a small combo, delighting an already bouncing crowd with swooping scales of trumpet.

But for much of the time over the three nights, Marsalis allowed his band and guests to shine in performances that ran the gamut from Pakistani sitar jazz to reflections on the '50s and '60s music of the legendary Blue Note jazz record label.

The Blue Note tribute of tracks by the likes of Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson and Woody Shaw, for example, involved arrangements by nine different members of the band, solos from all, and Marsalis himself sometimes only NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF WILLIAM G.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Diane Jackson 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.

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 August 21, 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.

There were also guest performances by young jazz musicians, brought on

by Marsalis both to highlight and develop their skills - a tip to the 52-yearold Marsalis's other persona as a mentor and teacher.

"My father is a teacher and as I grew up he had classes in the community.

When I started to go on the road with (jazz drummer and bandleader) Art Blakey when I was 18, I started to do classes," Marsalis told Reuters in an interview.

Ventura County DA Clears Officers in Limon Shooting

Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten

Rafael Hernandez

Justin Villa

VC Assistant Sheriff Gary Pentis

Jose Zepeda out on parole for burglary

From page 1A discharging his handgun at officers. During the shootout, Alfonso Limon and his brother Gerardo, who were walking south on Garfield after jogging at nearby Pacifica High School, were caught in the crossfire.

In a case of what Totten and Assistant DA Chris Harman (who filed the DA’s 132 page report) described as mistaken identity, Alfonso was shot approximately ten times by Oxnard police officers.

Justin Villa was wounded as he fled the scene and later arrested. Zepeda, who initiated the gunfire, was shot and killed.

Assistant DA Chris Harman

“Alfonso was in the worst possible place at the worst possible time,” said Totten, “but make no mistake. This tragedy and the split second decisions by police officers leading to Mr. Limon’s death began with the actions of one man: Jose Zepeda.”

The events that night unfolded in what Harman described as a series of four shootouts involving officers Rodriguez and Wilfert and assisting officers Jess Aragon, John Brisslinger, Ryan Lockner, Ernie Orozco, Matthew Ross, Rocky Marquez, Zachary Stiles, and Don Ehrhardt.

Beginning with the ini-

Oxnard Chief of Police Jeri Williams

tial traffic stop, Hernandez led officers on an automotive cat and mouse chase on 2nd, Grant, and 1st Streets, then turned north and stopped near 136 Garfield. During that time, officers requested backup and reported that Villa and Zepeda, dressed in Westside gang attire, were acting strangely and refusing to cooperate with police.

In the meantime, as officers pursued the occupants in the Monte Carlo, Alfonso and his brother Gerardo crossed Cooper and continued south on Garfield.

Once Hernandez came to a stop on Garfield, Villa and Zepeda jumped out

Aerial photo of Garfield Avenue. The Monte Carlo is stopped in front of 136 N. Garfield Avenue. Jose Zepeda fled from the Monte Carlo, fired two shots at pursuing officers while fleeing and took cover behind a green Honda parked in the parking lot of 506 Cooper Road. The distance between the Monte Carlo and the Honda was approximately 198 feet.

Statement of Facts

JOSE ZEPEDA, JR.’S, CRIMINAL HISTORY Jose Zepeda, Jr., was born June 23, 1988. Zepeda had a criminal record that included convictions for residential burglary, fleeing the police, and weapons violations. In 2009, the probation for his residential burglary was terminated unsuccessfully and he was sentenced to the California Department of Corrections for two years. He was on parole and wanted for failing to report to his parole officer when he initiated the gun battle that resulted in his death and the death of Alfonso Limon, Jr. JUSTIN VILLA’S CRIMINAL HISTORY Justin Villa was born Decem-

ber 16, 1987. Villa had a criminal record that included convictions for battery, vandalism, possession of stolen property and miscellaneous weapons violations.

In 2008, he was convicted of a gangrelated assault likely to inflict great bodily injury. He was eventually sentenced to the California Department of Corrections for three years for that offense, and was also on parole at the time of this shooting.

Rafael Hernandez Officers Rodriguez and Wilfert observed Hernandez fail to stop for the stop sign at the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Cooper Road. Officer Wilfert put out over the radio that the Monte Carlo was failing to yield to the traffic stop.

Pictured above is satellite overview of the route traveled by the Monte Carlo during the incident. The first contact occurred at the intersection of Cooper Road and Garfield Avenue. The Monte Carlo initially stopped just south of 1st Street (1). The Monte Carlo continued driving and stopped on 2nd Street between Garfield Avenue and Grant Avenue (2). The Monte Carlo fled, turned onto Grant Avenue and stopped (3). The Monte Carlo fled one more time and stopped for the last time next to the residence at 136 North Garfield Avenue (4) where Villa and Zepeda then ran from the car.

of the car and ran north.

Zepeda then opened fire at police. Officers on the scene returned fire, wounding Zepeda in the back, Villa in the knee, and Alfonso Limon (still walking on Garfield) in his right thigh. Zepeda ducked into a parking lot at 506 Cooper Road, hid behind a car, and continued shooting at officers. The wounded Limon fell into a nearby shrub-

bery planter.

As more police arrived on the scene, Limon attempted to stand up. Officers unfamiliar with the identity of Zepeda spotted him and assumed from a dispatch describing a man armed and wearing a grey sweatshirt that Limon was the suspect firing at officers. Fearing for their partners’ safety, they began firing LIMON, See page 12A

Get the Scoop on Crime!

On May 12, officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the 4200 block of Harbor Blvd in the City of Oxnard in reference to the online enticement of a minor female by an adult male. The minor’s mother reported that she discovered that her 14-yearold daughter had engaged in sexual conversations through Facebook with an adult male.

On July 9, after an extensive two month investigation, detectives from the Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit arrested Patrick Brian Kennedy at his place of employment in the City of Goleta. Mr. Kennedy was arrested for various charges including: traveling for the purposes of engaging a minor for sex, delaying and obstructing a police investigation, conspiracy to commit a crime, and child annoying. He is currently in custody with bail set at $250,000.

Detectives have reason to believe that there may be other minor victims that have been contacted by Kennedy through Facebook. Anyone with additional information should contact Detective Terrance Dobrosky at (805) 385-7609.

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 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.

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 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13547922-VF .

that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

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

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.
