THOUSAND OAKS– Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-Westlake Village) recently announced the 28 high school students who received Congressional nominations to the U.S. service academies, which include the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York; United States Naval Academy

in Annapolis, Maryland; United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York; and United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“These students represent the best and brightest of our youth, and as someone who grew up in a military family, I commend

them for applying and am proud to nominate them for the academies,” said Congresswoman Brownley.

The nominees were required to apply to Congresswoman Brownley’s office by November 5, 2013, which was followed by interviews with a merit panel consisting of nine academy alumni. Addi-

tionally, they were required to go through the rigorous application process of each academy they were interested in attending.

The next step is for the academies to determine which of the nominees receive appointments. Congresswoman Brownley will announce them as they become known.

Around the Tri-Counties Staying Positive In A Negative World Fresh Roasted Concerts Presents Second City Words to Live by

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

By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan If you haven’t noticed that we live in a negative world, you just haven’t been paying attention.

These negative influences are real evident during elections like the presidential campaign. Each party spends millions painting a picture of the worst possible scenarios for Americans if their opponent is elected.

Not nearly as much is ever spent expressing hope. Add in things like sickness, the loss of a job, or marriage problems, and you can see where, over time, the pressures of the world, if allowed, can steal the love and joy from your life.

In Matthew 24:12, Jesus said this: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” He said this would be a characteristic of the end times. Jesus was saying that the negative things going on around us—not necessarily in us—would cause the love of many to grow cold.

The word “waxed” used in that scripture is really significant. It goes back to the way candles are made.

A wick is dipped into hot wax and then taken out and allowed to cool for a

few seconds, leaving a thin layer of wax. The process is repeated hundreds of times until the wick is buried deep within the wax.

The same is true with the heart. If we take our eyes off Jesus and focus on the evil of this world and our circumstances, then, little by little, the layers of negativity harden around our hearts, and the love for God and others waxes cold.

So, how do we stay positive in a negative world?

Let me start by using this verse from Joshua 1:9— Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Here, the Lord was speaking to Joshua, who was taking over for Moses—a hard act to follow.

He told Joshua to be strong and of good courage and not to be afraid or dismayed. These are opposing forces. If you are afraid and dismayed, then you are not strong and of good courage. They counteract each other. So, you’ve got to do two things and resist two things.

The word dismay means “to fill with dread or apprehension; daunt”. Can you say you have fought apprehension (“to anticipate with anxiety,” about the future?)

Have the problems facing you or the nation seemed daunting (intimidating or discouraging?) If so, you have been dismayed.

God does not automatically do these things for Paid Advertisement

you—He flows through you. If you get discouraged or dismayed, you stop the process. Ephesians 3:20, Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

The phrase “according to” means in proportion to or to the degree of the power that is working in you. God flows through people. If you become discouraged, you stop the flow of God’s power.

Here’s a great example. In 1 Samuel, it’s the story of a terrible situation that David was facing.

His father-in-law, Saul, was trying to kill him. He had been running for his life every day for thirteen years. His possessions had been burned, his wives and all of the wives and children of his men had been taken, and his own men wanted to stone him. Not a great environment! Yet it says in 1 Samuel 30:6, And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. Things looked bad.

David was in a situation where everything in the natural said “Be discouraged and dismayed,” but David encouraged himself in the Lord. Do you know how he did it? He took the Word of God and began to encourage himself, and it was only a matter POSITIVE, See page 12A

Covered California Consumers Can Now Use Quality Rating System When Choosing a Health Care Plan

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California consumers can now get performance ratings on the vast majority of health insurance plans offered through Covered California™. The state health insurance exchange recently added a quality rating system (QRS) to its website to aid consumers in their selection of plans.

The QRS gives an easyto-understand rating of one to four stars, with four stars being the highest score.

The system is in place well ahead of the 2016 federal mandate and will be improved over the next two years as the exchange gets more comprehensive performance ratings for plans.

“After several months of open and constructive debate with consumer advocates, health plans and stakeholders, Covered California is now among the first exchanges in the nation to offer its consumers a quality rating system,” said Covered California Executive Director Peter V. Lee. Many states, along with the federal exchange, are awaiting federal guidelines for establishing a rating system, but Covered California wanted to give existing scoring information beginning in 2014.

“We want to give consumers all the available tools to help them assess and choose plans in their regions,” Lee said. “We

are proud of the ratings in each of the exchange plans and recognize this is a preliminary look at exchange health plans.”

The ratings are based on reported experiences of members. Each health insurance plan is compared with results for health insurance plans across the western United States region.

A four-star plan means a plan placed in the top 25 percent of all rated plans.

Three stars are given for those that landed in the 50to 75-percent band, while a two-star plan means it scored in the 25- to 50-percent band of all plans. One star is given for those plans scoring in the bottom 25 percent.

Consumers can get QRS scores in their regions by visiting: https://www.CoveredCA.com/hbex/insurance-companies/qrs.html.

The scores, from the nationally recognized Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS), asks plan members about access to care, including getting doctor appointments, tests and treatments; customer service; and medical care.

Consumers may access the quality ratings when they visit www.CoveredCA.com and browse health insurance plan options. The scores are displayed on the summary for each plan.

Covered California an-

ticipates expanding its rating system to integrate the national standards when they are available, adding information on hospital, medical group and physician quality. The clinical performance scores will be based on claims data and patient records, in addition to member surveys about exchange plan services starting in 2014.

“These scores are just the beginning of a robust reporting and evaluation system planned for 2016,” said Lee. About Covered California Covered California is the state’s marketplace for the federal Patient Protection 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 sliding-scale 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 insur-

ance plans and offer their employees the ability to choose from an array of plans and may qualify for

federal tax credits.

Sports News Lakers' Young Fights Suns, Deaf NFL Player will Inspire You with This Commercial Calls Out Teammates

Nick Young didn't seem happy with anyone on Wednesday, January 15.

The Los Angeles Lakers' swaggy swingman was ejected for trying to fight several members of the Phoenix Suns after absorbing a hard foul during the second quarter. With the Lakers trailing 36-35, Young was driving toward the basket when rookie center Alex Len clobbered him.

Young was understandably unhappy with the foul and went on to make sure Len wasn't the only player ejected by retaliating. The Suns' Morris twins would get involved -- with Marcus picking up a technical foul of his own -- as Young tried to get even with the 7' 1" center out of Maryland.

After being separated from Len, Young found himself within arm's length of Suns point guard Goran Dragic.

Diagnosed with an incurable genetic hearing impairment as a child, Coleman is the first legally deaf offensive player in NFL history. The 23-yearold fullback has shared his story in an inspirational new commercial for Duracell that should even have fans of the San Francisco 49ers rooting for him.

Growing up in California, Coleman was able to excel on the football field by wearing hearing aids and learning to lip read.

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder has turned DeAngelo Hall into the voice of reason. The oft-fined cornerback conceded this week that the team "probably should" change its name.

"I think eventually they will change it," Hall responded when asked about the team's name during an appearance on FOX Sports' "Keeping It Real With Mike Hill."

Pressed further by Hill on the name change issue and reminded to "keep it real," Hall conceded that "they probably should but they won't."

Hall's candid remarks about the team's divisive moniker come just days

Snyder remained resolute in his commitment to it (even if he stopped using the word "NEVER" when the issue was raised).

Despite his apparent belief that Snyder will eventually change the team's name, Hall doesn't expect this to be happening any time soon.

"They won't for a while at least," he added before Hill changed the subject.

After making these remarks, Hall might also need to expect to be on a new team next season. The 30-year-old veteran's contract with Washington expires during the offseason and his comments won't likely go over well in Redskins Park.

Redskins Star Admits Team Name Geno Smith Leaves Plane After 'Probably Should' Change Argument With Flight Attendant

By Dennis Waszak, Jr. NEW YORK — A person familiar with the situation says New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith left his flight at Los Angeles International Airport after getting into an argument with an attendant.

Smith was on a Virgin America flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., when an attendant asked Smith to remove his headphones and

The Jets declined comment in a statement.

Alex Rodriguez:

Suspension 'Could be a Big Help for Me'

Darren Sharper Former NFL defensive back Darren Sharper was arrested in Los Angeles on charges of suspicion of rape, as reported by TMZ and ProFootballTalk.

TMZ reported that Sharper has been accused of two sexual assaults, one in October 2013 and another in January 2014.

The 38-year-old analyst for the NFL Network was released on $200,000 bail, per the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department website.

ESPN.com reports that Sharper is also being investigated by the New Orleans Police Department in connection with a sexual assault allegation filed in September 2013.

Sharper played for the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints throughout his 14-year career. He was a five-time Pro Bowler and was named First-Team All-Pro twice.

By Carlos Rodriguez MEXICO CITY — Alex Rodriguez says his season-long suspension could be a benefit, allowing him to rest and return to the Yankees for the final three years of his contract.

Speaking in Mexico's capital during a promotional appearance, Rodriguez declined to talk specifically about his suspension for violating baseball's drug agreement and labor contract.

Rodriguez, in his first public comments since arbitrator Fredric Horowitz's decision, said he wanted to end his career with New York. Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner has declined to talk about his possible return but has called him a "great player."

"The 2014 season could be a big help for me," Rodriguez said. "It might serve as a break and close the chapter, and begin in 2015 with my last three years under contract with the Yankees."

Rodriguez, who will be 39 when the 2015 season opens, repeated several times that this part of his life

Alex Rodriguez had not been completed.

"I want to retire in New York, and I think the rest will do me good," he added. "For me, the book isn't finished. There are still chapters to finish. ... Right now I haven't thought about retiring."

Rodriguez, fifth on the career list with 654 homers sued the Major League Baseball and the players' union on Monday in an effort to overturn the decision by Horowitz, who reduced what originally was a 211-game suspension issued by Selig in August.

"This process has been taxing both mentally and

physically throughout the past eight months," Ron Berkowitz, a spokesman for Rodriguez, said in a statement. "Alex will abide by the rulings of the federal judge — whatever he decides — and get ready for 2015 should the judge rule against him. He will continue to move forward with his complaint which will help all players against this unfair system."

Also speaking Wednesday night, Yankees captain Derek Jeter said he is saddened by the situation.

"The whole situation is bad," Jeter said at his Turn 2 Foundation golf classic in Tampa, Fla. "The whole thing has been kind of messy."

Jeter has been in communication with Rodriguez, but declined to say what was discussed.

"I'm sure it's a rough situation," Jeter said.

Hall of Famer Goose Gossage attended Jeter's event and called the Rodriguez matter unfortunate for the game and everyone involved.

"I wish A-Rod would just leave it alone and go on," Gossage said. "Then see about coming back.”

Technology Helps Kids Learn to Read

(NewsUSA) - Parents know that the best way to instill a love of reading in a child is to read to them early and often. Unfortunately, this does not guarantee an avid book lover. Nor does it guarantee that a child will be able to read well.

That's because children learn differently, experts say. Some need visual experiences, while others respond to auditory cues.

Still others need a handson approach.

Despite parents' best efforts, however, sometimes children continue to struggle to make sense of words on a page. So, what's a concerned (but frustrated) parent to do?

State News Senator Wright Found Guilty!!!

Senator Rod Wright faces up to eight years in prison at his sentencing in March, after he was convicted of voter fraud and perjury January 28, 2014 in a Los Angeles courtroom. The 61-year-old was indicted in the fall of 2010, when he pleaded not guilty and said he believed he had been following the law back in 2007 when he started the process for his candidacy. However, during his trial which began January 8 prosecutors accused him of providing false information on his candidacy documents, claiming he lived at an Inglewood address and making himself eligible to run in the 25th Senate District and to cast votes in the city of Inglewood.

They said he actually lived in a Baldwin Hills property that he purchased in 2000 but has been holding the 25th District seat since 2008. Wright has maintained that the Baldwin Hills property was not his main residence but its top floor was used as an office. The Inglewood property was where he moved in “clothing and personal items and did other things to make it his legal residence,” he said.

Runner Calls on Governor to Congresswoman Lee Meets with Individuals Who Eliminate Fire Fee Have Exhausted Their Unemployment Benefits

Oakland, CA – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) met individuals who have exhausted their Unemployment Insurance benefits during a tour of The Unity Council’s Multicultural One-Stop Career Center. This tour was held on Friday, January 24, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. at The Unity Council located at 1900 Fruitvale Avenue, Suite 2A, Oakland CA. According to the California Employment Development Department, an estimated 213,793 people in California and 8,064 people in Alameda County lost their benefits due to the expiration of the emergency unemployment compensation program on December 28, 2013.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee Congresswoman Lee has consistently advocated on behalf of the long-term unemployed, most recently co-authoring a letter to House speaker John Boehner urging him to

address the looming expiration of unemployment benefits for millions of Americans.

The Unity Council, Celebrating 50 years of service to the community, provides comprehensive workforce development services that specialize in serving job-seekers through the Multicultural One-Stop Career Center.

The One Stop Career Center, offers case management, classes, financial education and coaching, and other job training services in seven languages to approximately 1,900 job seekers each year. Clients that receive these services are more likely to achieve economic stability.

SACRAMENTO – George Runner urged Governor Jerry Brown to restore full funding to CAL-FIRE and eliminate the confusing and controversial Fire Prevention Fee in the revised version of his 2014-15 budget proposal.

“The Fire Prevention Fee was established during a time of crisis, when the state faced multi-billion budget deficits,” said Runner. “Those budget deficits are gone, but the fire fee remains, much to the chagrin of hundreds of thousands of rural property owners throughout California.”

The Board of Equalization is required by law to mail “Fire Prevention Fee” bills on behalf of CALFIRE to nearly 800,000 Californians each year. In

the 2012-13 fiscal year, the Board of Equalization and CAL-FIRE spent a combined total of more than $17 million to collect only $75 million from Fire Fee payers.

“The fire fee continues to place more burdens and costs on CAL-FIRE and

Since the 1950s, FTB has contacted people who have California income, but did not file a tax return.

Last year, FTB collected more than $727 million through these efforts.

Each year FTB receives more than 400 million income records from third parties such as banks, employers, state departments, the IRS, and other sources.

records against its records of tax returns filed. While this program mainly identifies wage earners and self-employed individuals who have not filed, it also detects other nonfilers through information sources such as occupational licenses and mortgage interest payments.

Those contacted have 30 days to file a state tax return or show why one is not due. For people who do not respond, FTB issues a tax assessment using income records to estimate the amount of state tax due. The assessment includes interest, fees, and penalties that can total up to 50 percent of the tax.

National News Interracial Couple in Georgia Upset NYC First Lady Chirlane McCray Over Racial Slur on Parking Ticket Gives First Solo Speech on Immigration

Sam and Candea Aarons, an interracial couple from Atlanta area, Georgia, are highly upset after they recently discovered an offensive racial slur written on their valet ticket after picking up their car.

They couple reportedly valet parked their car, and had dinner on New Year's day at Spondivits restaurant in East Point, Georgia. After retrieving their vehicle and preparing to go home, they couldn't help but notice a tag that was still attached to their set of keys.

It read "jungle fever".

Of course, the couple complained to the restaurant and the valet company. But rather than being apologized to, they were only offered a gift certificate for a free dinner. They

Sam and Candea Aarons turned it down.

“We have never been so blatantly described in such a blatantly appalling manner ever,” Candea Aarons said. “I shouldn’t have to feel this way. We had no idea that the valet was looking at us or thinking of us in such a manner."

To make matters even worse, the parking attendant who wrote the message was Black.

The restaurant eventually released a statement saying that the employee had been fired, and that they “do not tolerate racism of any kind whatsoever.”

According to a police

A partial grand jury in North Carolina has decided not to indict Randall Kerrick, the officer who fatally shot Jonathan Ferrell in September 2013.

After meeting for eight hours, the jury reportedly submitted a document to the county clerk of the court, not only stating it would not indict the officer on the charge of voluntary manslaughter, but also attached a handwritten letter respectfully requesting the district attorney submit a bill of indictment for a lesser charge.

However, Attorney General Roy Cooper said in a statement that the decision was not made by a full grand jury, and that his office plans to resubmit the request as soon as possible.

“Today, our prosecutors learned that the grand jury that considered the indictment on charges of voluntary manslaughter was less than a full panel. It would be in the best interest of justice to resubmit this case to a full grand jury, which we plan to do as soon as possible,” Cooper said.

Officer Kerrick was charged after shooting Ferrell 10 times when authorities responded to a

Ferrell who had been involved in an accident, was seeking help in a nearby neighborhood when a woman called the police, thinking he was a robber.

Ferrell ran toward the officers, who tried to stop him with a Taser. Police said he continued to run toward them when Kerrick shot him. Ferrell died at the scene. Both the local NAACP chapter and Ferrell’s family have questioned whether race played a role in the shooting.

The family has also filed a wrongful death suit against several parties involved in the 24-year-old’s death, the lawsuit is still pending.

How to Spot a Bad Moving Company

By Jason Alderman Moving is already traumatic and expensive enough; the last thing you want to worry about is getting ripped off by your mover. Yet each year, the Better Business Bureau receives thousands of complaints against moving companies, mostly alleging lost or damaged property, not showing up on time, overcharging – or, in extreme cases, stealing or holding customers' possessions hostage while demanding more money than originally agreed upon.

Before you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars and entrust your valuables with strangers, here are a few tips for ensuring a positive moving experience, as well as scams to avoid: Screen potential movers. All companies that do interstate moves must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (www.protec-

tyourmove.gov). You can use its search engine to screen for complaints, safety information and company contact information by company name or by the state where its primary business office is located.

Moving companies that don't cross state lines aren't governed by federal regulations, but rather, by individual state laws. Go to the State/Local Resources tab at FMCSA's site for links to each state's regulatory resources. Also make sure the company has at least a satisfactory rating from the Better Business Bureau.

Get written estimates.

No reputable mover would ever give a firm estimate by phone or Internet, sightunseen. Always insist on in-home inspections of your household goods and detailed, written estimates from at least three to five moving companies so you can get a sense of true mar-

ket rates.

Movers need to know how much stuff you have, whether particularly heavy, valuable or awkward pieces need to be moved, if stairs are involved, and many other details that will affect their costs. Beware if an estimate is significantly less: This is a common ruse by unscrupulous companies to bind you to their service, then later hit you up for hidden fees – perhaps even refusing to unload your furnishings until you pay up.

By law, movers must assume liability for the value of property they transport.

Ask for proof your mover has insurance and make sure you understand what's MOVING, See page 12A

Houston, TX -- At a recent news conference, Richard Michael Abraham, founder of The REDI Foundation announced that one of the main purposes of their 6-Month Online Real Estate Development Mentoring/Certification Program is to provide a step-by-step process for landowners to develop their own land. "Landowners should not sell their land when 80% of the profits are in developing their land and landowners should not be fearful anymore. Developing real estate is a learned skill. The REDI Foundation's Online Course/Program is teaching and helping landowners across the World profitably develop their own land," Mr. Abraham stated.

Studies have shown that many landowners are fearful of developing their land for the following reasons: 1. They do not understand the real estate development process.

2. They do not know how to conduct a market/ feasibility study.

With the help of REDI Foundation, Susannah Nfonoyim, a landowner in Houston, Texas, has learned that developing land is easy - and very profitable - with just a little hard work.

3. They are fearful they will need to raise a lot of money.

Case in point - Susannah Nfonoyim has been a human resource professional for over 20 years.

She owns a large tract of land in the Houston area and is now developing 67 one and two acre lots for $20,000,000 in upscale, luxury housing.

She comments, "The REDI Foundation's 6-Month Online Real Estate Development Mentoring Program transformed me from being a fearful landowner. Mr. Abraham wrote the printed Course materials speaking directly to an individual like me with zero real estate development knowledge. He uses his years of real life knowledge as examples and gives the learner valuable, easy to apply tools along the way. While imbedded with solid real information that would take years as an actual developer to gain, the materials also place emphasis on ethics and trains a novice to quickly make decisions on the viability of any type of development project. I already see the world through a very different lens. An ordinary drive around my neighborhood has changed from running errands to imagining what could be - how an empty eye sore lot could become a beautiful functional incomegenerating project. My creativity has been unleashed."

LANDOWNER, See page 12A

By Les Christie NEW YORK -- It’s getting harder to make a bundle buying up foreclosures and renting them out.

The auction prices of homes climbed faster than rents in 2013, so returns on investment dropped, according to a report from CoreLogic.

That’s a change from the past several years. In many cities where mortgage defaults spiked after the housing crash, investors were able to buy foreclosed homes at prices so low they were able to make big rental profits.

The practice is still profitable, but in many places not as much as it was.

“It’s gotten so competitive that discounts at foreclosure are not where they were,” said Daren Blomquist, spokesman for RealtyTrac. “It’s harder for third party purchasers at auction to make a profit.”

According to CoreLogic, return on investment fell in eight of the 10 best

buy-and-rent cities.

In Tampa, which was the top city in 2012, returns declined to a yield of 9.7% in 2013 from 10.5%.

The reason for the decline: An influx of institutional investors with money to spend at Tampa’s foreclosure auctions.

“It’s much more difficult to get a return when prices have been pushed up,” said Sean Galaris of financial services firm LM Funding, which is based in Tampa.

The yield represents an investor’s rental profits divided by how much he spent to buy and rehabilitate the property.

Chicago was CoreLogic’s top market for investors in 2013, but the yield dropped to 9.9% from 10.4% in 2012.

In Orlando, yields fell to 9.4% from 10.3%. Atlanta returns went to 9.3% from 10.2%.

Only two cities of CoreLogic’s top 10 recorded gains. Houston’s average return rose to 8.8% from 8.5%

and Charlotte’s inched up to 7.9% from 7.8%.

Nationally, homes sold in foreclosure auctions now go for just 4% less than regular sales, down from 16% in 2012, according to RealtyTrac’s Blomquist.

Home prices in general have soared this year, jumping nearly 14% annually through October, according to the latest S&P/ Case-Shiller report.

And rents have lagged.

Census Bureau numbers show that rents only grew an average of 2.2% during the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

As profits on foreclosures drop, investors will cut back on purchases.

Glenn Plantone, a real estate investor in Las Vegas, said that there were only 208 properties sold there at auction to third party purchasers -- not lenders -- in October. That was the first time in six years that a month had fewer than 300 of such sales.

Spotlight on Health:

By Carole Fleck If you have a 401(k) or other retirement plan, you may be waiting even longer before new government standards are imposed that require your financial adviser to act in your best interest.

The U.S. Department of Labor was in the final stages of preparing a proposal that would establish a so-called fiduciary standard for retirement plan advisers, which means they’d be required to put their clients’ financial interests ahead of their own when offering investment advice. A number of consumer groups support the effort, including AARP, the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and the Pension Rights Center.

However, the DOL’s timetable to release the proposal for public comment—it was scheduled for August—may be delayed because 30 House Democrats, in a letter, requested to meet with Labor Secretary Thomas Perez first. The lawmakers say they’re concerned that the

By Marcus Williams What is a flu emergency?

Normally, people recover from the flu after within a week or two. But sometimes, the flu can lead to dangerous complications that require emergency care.

The CDC estimates that 200,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized because of the flu every year. 36, 000 thousand die from the flu annually. While infants, the elderly, and people with certain diseases or a weakened immune system tend to be the most vulnerable, a flu emergency can happen to anyone.

Here are some flu emergency facts that you need to be aware of.

What Are Flu Emergencies?

Serious flu-related complications include: • Pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. Pneumonia is one of the most serious complications of the flu. Untreated, it can be life threatening.

If you, or your child, develop any of the following symptoms, contact your health care provider immediately, since medical treatment is often necessary.

• Coughing up bloodor green-tinged mucus; croup, which causes a loud barking cough • Wheezing • Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or rapid breathing • Pain or pressure in the chest • Confusion • Bluish colored lips or nails • High fever that last longer than normal • A constant cough that lasts longer than expected and/or worsens over time Which People Are At Risk For Flu Emergencies?

Those at increased risk of flu-related complications include: • Newborns and children up to 5 years old (especially FLU, See page 12A

proposal to raise investment advice standards for retirement plan advisers could hurt people with modest assets.

A DOL spokesman confirmed that Perez had received the letter, but declined to say whether the lawmakers’ concerns would ultimately delay the proposal’s release.

The DOL isn’t going to issue something that blocks people with modest means from getting professional advice that’s in their best interest, says Barbara Roper, director of investor protec-

tion for the CFA. “The DOL has given us every reason to believe that it’s fully aware of these concerns and it’s not going to back down from writing the rule.”

She said the financial services industry is “lobbying hard” against raised standards for advisers.

“It’d be nice if a few members of Congress would write to DOL or any of the regulatory agencies and urge them to write a rule that best protects investors and makes sure their interest are served.”

Vivian Davis (Photo Courtesy: Peace Corps) from the Veterans Administration hospital system, heard about the Peace Corps while volunteering at a VA hospital. She applied and soon received her two-year assignment.

(The Peace Corps also offers six-month overseas assignments for professionals who have at least 10 years of work experience.)

So off she went, leaving behind her three children, two grandchildren and two

great-grandkids.

The South Africans have embraced her, even addressing her as “Mummy.”

“Some are surprised that I am as old as I am,” she says. “But age never comes up. They’re not concerned about it.” In fact, she has observed that elders are greatly respected and held in high esteem there.

Village life demanded some adjustments, such as bathing in a tin washtub and walking 7 or 8 miles a day to get to wherever she needs to go. But “the food is great,” she says, especially the fresh, straight-from-the-market produce and chicken.

What’s next? Davis has kept a journal about her South Africa adventure and plans to write a memoir. While she’ll miss the people she’s met there, she is looking forward to returning to Austin and her family in March.

By Barbranda Lumpkins Walls Whenever Vivian Davis feels like doing something, she does it. So when she felt like joining the Peace Corps, she did – at age 78.

Now 80, Davis is the Peace Corps’ oldest active volunteer. But not for long. She’s winding up a two-year assignment in Vaalbank, South Africa, a small, rural village 50 miles north of Pretoria.

Davis has helped to raise HIV/AIDS awareness – distributing condoms, holding meetings about mother-to-child transmission of the virus, organizing data systems and “whatever anybody asks me to do.”

“For me, it’s just a blessing” to be able to serve abroad and experience South Africa, Davis says. She also counts among her blessings living longer than her parents, who died in their 40s and 50s. “The dust clears and I’m still standing.”

Obesity May Shorten Lives by Almost Four Years

By Robert Preidt Obese American adults die an average of almost four years earlier than those with normal weight, and middle-aged obese adults face the highest risk of an early death, a new study suggests.

One expert wasn’t surprised by the findings.

“As we are watching the epidemic of obesity grow, we need to understand the huge implications -- not just on chronic illness, but also the effect on life expectancy,” said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

“It is time that we treat obesity as a medical illness, because, as with other chronic diseases, it causes premature death,” said Steinbaum, who was not involved in the study.

In the study, researchers Dr. Luisa Borrell and Lalitha Samuel of the City University of New York reviewed data collected by the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination survey between 1988 and 1994, as well as national death statistics through the year 2006.

They found that obesity was associated with at least a 20 percent increased risk of death from all causes or from heart disease. Overall, obese adults died 3.7 years earlier from all causes and 1.7 years earlier from heart disease, compared with normal-weight adults.

The study found the risk to be highest among obese adults aged 45 to 64, who died 7.1 years earlier from all causes and up to 12.8 years earlier from heart disease.

Kelly Hogan is a clinical dietitian at Mount Sinai

Hospital in New York City.

She said the health impact of the obesity epidemic in the United States might be even greater in the future.

“Given the prevalence of obesity among children and young adults, early intervention is absolutely essential in order to prevent this trend from increasing exponentially as these populations continue to age,” Hogan said. More resources spent on educating Americans about healthy eating could go a long way toward saving lives, she added.

Steinbaum agreed that more must be done. “As time goes on and obesity increases, life expectancy is going to decrease,” she said.

“The drain on the health care system will rise.”

The study was published online Jan. 16 in the American Journal of Public Health.

How to Handle a Flu Emergency

Can a Placebo Relieve Your Migraine?

By Candy Sagon It’s called the placebo effect — the surprising power of the brain to affect the body when we take a pill we think is medication, even though it isn’t.

It’s been found to influence a number of conditions, including depression and irritable bowel syndrome, as Smithsonian magazine noted, but the most recent research concerns the pain of chronic migraines — those severe pounding headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light.

In the study, published in Science Translational Medicine, researchers with Harvard medical school found that a dummy pill labeled as a drug provided nearly as much relief for migraine sufferers as did the real drug. In other words, patients reported their pain had been reduced about equally for both kinds of pills, as long as they didn’t know the pill was a sham.

There was one significant difference, however: When it came to an objective measurement — whether the pain was actually gone 2 1/2 hours after MIGRAINE, See page 12A

It's Made By Google, But It's Facebook Has a New Feature Not Glass 2.0

By Martha Mendoza MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google unveiled a contact lens that monitors glucose levels in tears, a potential reprieve for millions of diabetics who have to jab their fingers to draw their own blood as many as 10 times a day.

The prototype, which Google says will take at least five years to reach consumers, is one of several medical devices being designed by companies to make glucose monitoring for diabetic patients more convenient and less invasive than the traditional finger pricks.

The lenses use a minuscule glucose sensor and a wireless transmitter to help those among the world's 382 million diabetics who need insulin keep a close watch on their blood sugar and adjust their dose.

The contact lenses were developed during the past 18 months in the clandestine Google X lab that also came up with a driverless car, Google's Web-surfing eyeglasses and Project Loon, a network of large balloons designed to beam the Internet to unwired places.

But research on the contact lenses began several years earlier at the University of Washington, where scientists worked

under National Science Foundation funding. When Google shared the project with The Associated Press, their work had been kept under wraps.

"You can take it to a certain level in an academic setting, but at Google we were given the latitude to invest in this project," said one of the lead researchers, Brian Otis. "The beautiful thing is we're leveraging all of the innovation in the semiconductor industry that was aimed at making cellphones smaller and more powerful."

American Diabetes Association board chair Dwight Holing said he's gratified that creative scientists are searching for solutions for people with diabetes but warned that the device must provide accurate and timely information.

"People with diabetes base very important health care decisions on the data we get from our monitors," he said.

The device looked like a typical contact lens when Otis held one on his index finger. On closer examination, sandwiched in the lens are two twinkling glitter-specks loaded with tens of thousands of miniaturized transistors. It's ringed with a hair-thin antenna.

Other non-needle glucose monitoring systems are also in the works, including a similar contact lens by Netherlands-based NovioSense, a minuscule, flexible spring that is tucked under an eyelid. Israel-based OrSense has already tested a thumb cuff, and there have been early designs for tattoos and saliva sensors.

By Taylor Casti Microsoft may be turning the dreams of fanboys everywhere into a reality by putting Cortana, the sexy AI companion from

the "Halo" franchise, into the pockets of Windows Phone users. Well, just Cortana's voice, at least.

According to a report published by MSFTnerd,

Microsoft's long-rumored Siri-like voice recognition software will be voiced by Jen Taylor, known for her work as the voice of Cortana in the "Halo" video game series.

The blog also writes that the personal assistant feature is activated by the phrase "Bing, tell me ... " and that it responds to requests about weather, calendar appointments, directions and probably more. The report claims Cortana "will launch first in beta on Lumia this April for US developers" and says Microsoft plans to extend the feature to American Xbox One and Windows users in 2015, with an international launch expected in 2015 and 2016.

Like the "Halo" character, the Windows Phone feature will learn and adapt as it is used, so interactions become more natural and conversational over time (similar to what Siri aims to do for iPhone users and Google Now for Android users), according to ZDnet.

While she might not reach the ingame Cortana's levels of artificial intelligence (or wear the skimpy outfit), Microsoft's response to Siri and Google Now is expected to add improvements to the voice command capabilities currently in place for Window Phone and Xbox One users.

Most famous for her work as Cortana, a role she's held for over a decade, Jen Taylor has lent her voice to the roles of Zoey in the "Left 4 Dead" series, various roles in "Dota 2," as well as Princess Peach, Toad and Toadette in several Mario games and spinoffs.

Microsoft's Siri Rival May Feature 'Halo' Character's Voice

NEW YORK — In a move that echoes Twitter, Facebook will add trending topics to its website to let users know what other users are posting about at the moment, whether it's the death of a world leader or the Golden Globe awards.

Users in the U.S., U.K., India, Canada and Australia will start to see a list of trending topics on the right side of their Facebook pages in coming weeks. The feature, which is not visible on the mobile version of Facebook, will be available in more countries at a

later date.

Facebook said that the topics people see will be

tailored to the user's interests and location.

The tech world is abuzz with news that an "NSAproof" smartphone will soon be available for purchase.

Silent Circle -- an encrypted communications service based in D.C. -- and Spanish smartphone startup Geeksphone announced that they've teamed up to create the Blackphone. According to a media release, the handset promises to be the first-ever smartphone to place "privacy and control directly in the hands of its users."

The release continues: Blackphone, powered by a security-oriented Android build named PrivatOS, is a carrier- and vendor-independent smartphone giving individuals and organizations the ability to make and receive secure phone calls, exchange secure texts, transfer and store files, and video chat without compromising user privacy on the device.

"I have spent my whole career working towards the launch of secure telephony products," said Phil

Zimmermann, co-founder of Silent Circle and a renowned cryptographer, per the release. "Blackphone provides users with everything they need to ensure privacy and control of their communications, along with all the other high-end smartphone features they have come to expect."

The details of exactly how the Blackphone will work remain hazy, but more information about the device likely will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Feb. 24, when the phone will officially be unveiled. Pre-orders for the device will also begin at that time, per the release.

As TechCrunch's Nata-

sha Lomas points out, the Blackphone isn't the first encrypted smartphone to hit the market, but its appearance may be a harbinger of a burgeoning trend. "[W]hile Blackphone is not the only secure phone game in town, there’s no doubt that last year’s revelations about security agencies’ consumer electronics and services powered data-harvesting habits -revealed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden -- have accelerated interest in security and privacy," Lomas wrote. "The fallout from Snowden’s big reveal is clearly attracting new players to what could potentially become a much more mainstream space."

It's been a year of console wars. While one could spend hours debating the victor, the loser has been obvious for quite some time, and Nintendo seems to finally be realizing that its Wii U is never going to be the most popular kid on the playground.

The company announced that it is slashing sales projections by almost 70 percent. It now expects sales of only 2.8 million Wii U units for the fiscal year ending in March, as opposed to the company's earlier projection of 9 million.

By contrast, 4.2 million Playstation 4 and 3 million Xbox One units have sold since both consoles launched in November 2013.

Software sales for the Wii U were also halved from an expected 38 million to 19 million.

The company's failure to reach its target marks a third consecutive annual loss. Instead of the 100 billion yen profit ($958.5 million) expected, Nintendo now expects to post a 35 billion yen loss (about $335.5 million).

The successor to the extremely popular 2006 Wii console, the Wii U broke new ground by adding a

second screen to the console experience. However, competition from more convenient cell phones and tablets for mobile gaming and more powerful consoles for experienced gamers left the Wii U with no distinguishing factors to set it apart from the competition.

The company's attempts to bolster Wii U sales with big title releases like "The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker" and "Super Mario 3D World" were moderately successful. But even a $50 price cut in September of 2013 to $299 couldn't supply the success the console needed.

Nintendo's 3DS, while still popular and successful in Japan, where it sold 4.9 million of its projected 5 million units, has also tak-

en a hit in American markets, according to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata.

As a result, 3DS sales projections were cut from 18 million to 13.5 million units globally.

The original Wii is a continued success for the company, albeit a small one. Projections were raised from 2 million units to 2.6 million units.

In light of these dismal sales figures and muted hopes for the coming year, the question remains whether Nintendo will continue to survive off it's mega franchises like Zelda and Mario, as The Verge suggests it will, or if it will change its strategy to adjust to the consumer market. Only time -- and the coming year's sales -- will tell.

Commentary Beyond the Rhetoric:

“If I Dated Black Girls....”

Leaving Jim Crow for California

George E. Curry “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Last Friday, I gave the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day speech at the University of North Alabama in Florence. I was glowingly introduced by my niece, Rachel Gandy, who is a senior at UNA. I told the audience that having grown up in segregated Tuscaloosa, Ala., how satisfying it was to see “the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners” sit in the same classrooms, if not at the table of brotherhood. I didn’t use those exact words, but they got the point: revolutionary changes have taken place in my home state since the 1960s and the South in general. So many changes, in fact, that public schools in the Deep South are more desegregated than any other region in the nation.

During my visit, I met a young White male – who shall remain nameless – who works in the same campus office as my niece, spoke fondly of Rachel, and recounted with glee their study together last

summer in Costa Rico.

After my speech, when I was doing my usual Friday afternoon radio segment with Rev. Al Sharpton, I was told that this young man said, “If I dated Black girls – I tell Rachel this all of the time – she would be at the top of the list.”

I am sure he meant that as a compliment – it wasn’t.

First, it’s presumptuous to think that Rachel, who is smart and beautiful inside and out, would want to date him. Second, for all the talk about racial progress, there are large segments of our society who make decisions based on race and nothing else. Whites do it.

Blacks do it. Latinos do it.

And so do Asians.

After I got over the shock of the young man’s comment – well, I still haven’t gotten over it, as you can see – I thought back to a 2010 Pew Research Center study that found that a record 14.6 percent of all new marriages in the United States in 2008 were between spouses of a different race or ethnicity from one another.

That’s more than double the percentage for 1980.

Interestingly, rates more than doubled among Whites and nearly tripled among Blacks. But for both Hispanics and Asians, rates were nearly identical

Harry C. Alford

in 2008 and 1980.

For me, there was another story within the story: “When Whites, Hispanics and Asians decide to marry outside their group, African-Americans rank last in their choice of mates.”

It’s easy to dismiss the kooks such as former Louisiana Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell who resigned under pressure in 2009 after he refused to perform a marriage between a White woman and a Black man.

But things are supposed to be different with this socalled “post-racial” generation. My niece is an honor student, was in the university’s homecoming court, is charming and beautiful. Yet, the young man at UNA couldn’t see beyond her color: “If I dated Black girls….”

Fortunately, Rachel’s love life is not dependent on whether this young man dates “Black girls.”

There are plenty of African American and every other kind of men vying for her attention. It’s the idea that this fellow got to know my GIRLS, See page 12A

Reforming Outdated School Discipline Policies

For the United States, World War II began after the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy. A year before that the military Draft began and more young men were going into military service.

After the Pearl Harbor attack millions enlisted into service to defend our nation. For those who fought in the Pacific Theatre California military bases were the venue for final training and deployment to the battle lines. Also, our industrial activity was expanding exponentially creating a growing demand for workers. The demand was so great that race didn’t matter. They needed workers in a desperate way as national security depended on it. This became the perfect place for young Black men growing up in the Jim Crow lands of the South.

During this time growing up in the South was terribly demanding. My people were from Bossier Parish, Louisiana. It was basically wooded countryside. Very few people had steady employment.

Basically, they lived off the land – farming, fishing, hunting and raising poultry, hogs and cattle for precious protein. My maternal grandfather was a share cropper while my paternal

or suspended. The New York Times, in its Sunday editorial, called the treatment of disabled students “a national disgrace.” The Times cites a finding by the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at the University of California that “in ten states, including California, Connecticut, Delaware and Illinois, more than a quarter of black students with disabilities were suspended in the 2009-10 school year.”

The National Urban League has long stood with parents and others who have challenged so-called “zero-tolerance” policies that have unfairly targeted students of color and done more harm than good in many public schools. In fact, in a 2007 essay in the National Urban League’s State of Black America, Children’s Defense Fund President Marian Wright Edelman wrote, “The growth in school expulsions and suspensions contributes to increasing numbers of children and teens entering the prison pipeline.

Discouraged teens who are suspended or expelled are more likely than their peers to drop out of school altogether.”

To respond to this challenge, the Obama administration guidelines direct

grandfather was dirt poor but hustled up temporary work here and there. Living conditions were deplorable by our standards today. Most people lived in little wooden homes built by themselves. The homes had no plumbing as there was no infrastructure built outside of Bossier City (much of Bossier City had no plumbing either).

If you needed water you went outside to a well. If you needed to use a toilet you went outside to an outhouse (little wooden structure saddled over a deep hole in the ground).

Some didn’t have an outhouse, like my maternal grandparents. You went out into the woods and did your business. Imagine no electricity. Many children would sleep on the wooden floor with sheets.

The school system, for Blacks, was quite basic.

The children would attend school three months a year. That was during winter when there were no crops to tend to. The other nine months were spent in the field. The education consisted of reading, writing and arithmetic. There were no high schools.

Your education extended to the eighth grade. If you dared to go to high school you would have to travel to Shreveport, Louisiana and

board or stay with relatives.

Two of my father’s sisters somehow made it through high school. That was so prestigious that they were given teacher certificates and began teaching school.

It was certainly rough.

If a child became sick their chances of survival were slim. Just about every family experienced childhood death amongst their offspring. My father lost a brother and a sister to the flu. My mother’s oldest brother died before he was ten years old. Healthcare was certainly third world if it existed at all. Most couples strived to have many children to offset those who would not live to adulthood and, also to work the fields as free laborers.

Bossier Parish was typical of the rural South which was the venue for the vast majority of Blacks during pre-World War II. Take the above and mix it with pure, evil and debilitating racism. Our Jim Crow style of racism was so fierce that after World War II the white South Africans modeled their apartheid system after it. They found it most effective in CROW, See page 12B

The GOP’s Curse of the ‘Golden Boys’

Marc H. Morial “A routine school disciplinary infraction should land a student in the principal’s office, not in a police precinct.” Eric Holder, United States Attorney General On January 8, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary, Arne Duncan came to Baltimore’s historic Frederick Douglass High School to announce a comprehensive set of guidelines to tackle the problem of “zero tolerance” disciplinary policies in our schools. As the National Urban League and others have been pointing out for years, students of color and students with disabilities receive disproportionately more and markedly harsher punishments for the same misbehaviors as other students. This obviously discriminatory treatment is not only denying an education to thousands of minority students, it is funneling too many of them into the criminal justice system and feeding the school-to-prison pipeline.

According to data collected by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, African American students without disabilities are more than three times as likely as their White peers without disabilities to be expelled

educators to take three deliberate actions. First, do more to create the positive school climates that can help prevent and change inappropriate behaviors.

Second, ensure that clear, concise and consistent expectations are in place to prevent and address misbehavior. And third, schools must understand their civil rights obligations and strive to ensure fairness and equity for all students.

The administration is distributing a resource package to schools and targeting grant money to train teachers and staff in ways to improve student behavior and school climate.

We applaud this action and believe the elimination of racially skewed zero tolerance policies must be an indispensable part of any future discussion of education reform. A growing number of school districts and schools, including Baltimore’s Frederick Douglass High, have already begun to reform their approach to discipline and are seeing positive results.

Suspensions have dropped POLICIES, See page 12A

Isn’t it time to think of the Republican Party’s quest for the presidency as haunted? That’d be a good question to put to Chris Christie, the latest GOP “golden boy” trying to get his feet out of the political clay.

Two months ago, the robust New Jersey governor, having forged a landslide re-election in one of the most solidly Democratic states in the nation, was being widely celebrated in the media as the oddson favorite, at least for the moment, for the GOP 2016 presidential nomination.

Now, however, the media – except for the conservative echo chamber – is busy pulling at the threads of Christie’s entire political career to see what falls out in the unraveling.

The reason for the stark reversal, of course, is “Bridge-gate” – the caper of last September in which, e-mails shows, several of Christie’s closest aides and political appointees engineered for four consecutive days a massive rushhour traffic jam at the Fort Lee, N.J. entrance to the mammoth George Washington Bridge.

That action, apparently intended as political revenge against one or more Democratic officeholders, now threatens not just

Christie’s chances of gaining the 2016 presidential nod but his retaining his governorship as well.

It’s too early to plan Chris Christie’s political obituary, of course. But it’s not too early to consider a stark fact about Republican Party politics of recent years his sudden troubles underscore.

That is that Chris Christie is just the latest of a select group of Republican elected officials who were briefly widely celebrated as possessing presidential star power – before being quickly damaged by a controversy almost completely of their own making.

For example, consider that in 2006 Virginia Senator George F. Allen’s reelection campaign was seen as an easy stepping-stone to the 2008 GOP presidential nomination – until Allen at a campaign rally tried to humiliate a young Indian-American Democratic campaign worker filming him with a video camera by calling him “macaca.”

In the ensuing controversy Allen could never adequately explain why that strange word wasn’t meant as an ethnic slur, or explain away his long history of privately expressing support for the Confederacy that the media then

discovered. His campaign rapidly sank.

And consider the stunning fall of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, who took office four years ago marked as one of the GOP’s brightest national prospects, only to have blatant ethical improprieties soon muddy his “Mr. Clean” image. As he left office this month, many expect a federal corruption indictment to soon follow.

There are several others I’d also include in this group: Texas Gov. Rick Perry, supposedly destined for a prominent role in the 2012 presidential sweepstakes until his laughable performance in a primary debate marked him as not ready for prime time. The Romney-Ryan 2012 ticket itself, which, starting with the Republican National Convention, did its “best” to destroy its seeming advantages over President Obama. And, yes, I’d also include the McCain-Palin ticket of 2008. She was supposed to be the “golden one” in that duo – until she quickly proved herself the most unqualified nominee GOP, See page 12B

PINKARD From page 1A partially fund the college tours, as well as a leadership academy at a local four-year institution, and an internship program offering mentors and employment experience to students.

The public is invited to attend this special event to be held on Sunday, February 16, 2014, at the Residence Inn

by Marriott, 2101 Vineyard Avenue in Oxnard from 3 to 6 p.m. A Sunday Supper will be served and entertainment will be provided by one of the past tour participants, Cheryl Gilbreath, whose professional name is Geneva Renee’. Gilbreath is a pharmacist and Howard University graduate. She is also a professional singer and received honorable mention for her new CD, Beautiful Wonder, from the Grammys.

“After the first trip, the students were so excited,” said Dr. Pinkard. “We knew we held a project that had to be expanded and continued. The program, which began with a visit to one college over a weekend, now includes visits to three or more colleges and universities and has now developed into a unique educational program.” The group, including one parent, six students and the Pinkards, flew to Houston, Texas. All meals for the weekend were provided

by Mrs. Daisy Cotton, and the Dean of Students at the university arranged an orientation for the students after the graduation.

When the group returned, they explained how the experience had changed the way they viewed college and their educational options. “You did not see that many Black students in college or anywhere in Ventura County,” said Courtney Upchurch, now a human resources specialist. “It prompted me to attend one of the colleges we toured 25 years ago.

Attending an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) is an experience you will never forget, and seeing all the black professionals on campus and in the classroom was the motivation I needed to inspire me to reach my goals.”

The cousin who graduated 25 years ago, Dr. Douglas Cotton, is now working for the City of Los Angeles. He has two children and often speaks to students about the advantages of attending an HBCU. “An HBCU is open to all students; it doesn’t matter what nationality you are,” he explains, “Everyone is welcome to attend an HBCU.” For tickets or additional information, please call (805) 988-2426. Tickets are $50 in advance and $60 at the door on the day of the event.

This significant support from a fellow foundation helps VCCF sustain its aim for the Nonprofit Center, which is to provide local nonprofits with modern, efficient office space at a discounted rate, Ralston said. United Way of Ventura County CEO David M. Smith has noted his organization’s annual rent decreased by $30,000 when it moved to the VCCF Nonprofit Center. Those savings can be redeployed to help meet the needs of more people in Ventura County.

Major construction for this project finished within 12 months, and the Center is fully leased. Tenants besides VCCF, its Center for Nonprofit Leadership and the United Way include Interface Children & Family Services, Kids & Families Together, Gold Coast Veterans Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County, the New West Symphony and ACTION.

McCRAY From page 7A the crowd viewed a video featuring herself and her children explaining their heritage.

“Now those are some cute kids up there, right?” McCray joked about Chiara de Blasio, 18, and her brother, 16-yearold Dante. The video described how McCray is a “G-two” in the language of the project as a second generation immigrant, while her offspring are “G-threes.” The goal of The G Project is to raise awareness of the fact that Americans of African descent represent multifarious backgrounds, demonstrating that immigration is not solely a Latino issue.

STINNEY From page 7A away. Stinney’s older brother, Johnny, was let go after George confessed. But he almost never talked about it again. The rest of the family didn’t see the teen again until his funeral, when Stinney’s body, burned from the electric chair, was put in an open casket.

Stinney’s supporters are making a novel argument in South Carolina, saying the case was handled so badly that it was never really closed. The only evidence remaining is indictments and some fairly cryptic handwritten notes that appear to be from the prosecutor. Newspaper accounts at the time suggest Stinney confessed and the iron spike or bar used to beat the girls to death was found with Stinney’s bloody clothes. But all that evidence is gone.

The Stinney case has been long remembered by civil rights leaders in South Carolina as another mark on the state’s history of race relations.

South Carolina executed 289 people in the 20th century, and 82 percent of them were black, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

TEEN From page 7A Manning -- who has no history of discipline problems and is a straight-A student -- was arrested for aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and reckless endangerment, My Fox Philly first reported.

According to the report, Manning allegedly fought with the officer, hitting him three times and ripping off his radio. Despite this, the report says “no injuries sustained to police.”

Manning said a female officer came to pat him down as he was being arrested. Manning claims he was sexually assaulted and brutalized by that officer, who has not been named.

“She patted me down and then she touched my butt and then my private parts,” he said.

“And then she grabbed and squeezed and pulled my private parts and I felt something pop.”

Manning suffered a ruptured testicle and screamed in pain. The following day, he underwent emergency surgery and is now in a wheelchair as he recovers.

His mother, Ikea Coney, said the injury may prevent her son from fathering children.

“I blame myself,” Coney said. “I taught my son to respect cops, not to fear them.

Maybe if he was afraid, he would have run like the other boys and he would have been okay.”

According to records from Internal Affairs obtained by Philly.com, Officer Purcell has had complaints in the past regarding false arrests. In a 2008 and 2009 case, he was cleared of any wrongdoing.

SBA From page 8A Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private, nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.

By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster on January 15, 2014.

Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) assistance made available by the Secretary’s declaration.

However, in drought disasters nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance.

Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure Web site at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA’s Customer Service Center by calling (800) 659-2955 or e-mailing disastercustomerservice@sba. gov. Individuals who are deaf or hard‑of‑hearing may call (800) 877-8339. For more information about SBA’s disaster assistance programs, visit http://www.sba.gov/disaster.

The deadline to apply for these loans is September 15, 2014.

MOVING From page 8A covered. Base-line coverage they should provide is called “released-value protection.”

It’s free, but if something is lost or broken, they only have to pay you 60 cents per pound.

For an additional fee you can purchase “full-value protection,” where the mover must repair, replace or provide cash settlement for damaged items.

Also consider third-party moving insurance.

A few additional tips: • Ask if the moving company will handle the entire move itself or hire subcontractors.

Apply the same due diligence to any subcontractors.

• Ask whether crewmembers are employees or temporary hires and ask to see verification of background checks, either way.

• Ask to see the company’s “tariff,” which outlines the maximum costs and how they’re calculated, as well as a list of all items for which you could face additional charges.

• Be suspicious if the mover asks for a large cash deposit or full payment in advance. Also, don’t make the final payment until you’re sure everything was delivered undamaged.

• Be wary if the company’s website has no local address or license and insurance information, they refuse to put everything in writing or they use an unmarked truck rather than a company-owned vehicle.

Interstate movers are required by law to give you a copy of the FMCSA’s booklet, “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move.” Even if your move is only local, be sure to read it for valuable tips.

LANDOWNER From page 8A REDI’s course teaches landowners how to financially structure the market/feasibility study package to gain the interest of investor joint venture partners for the equity capital needed. Once the land and investor equity capital are in place, large institutional lenders are eager to provide the financing for land developments in high demand.

The online course is designed for landowners and entrepreneurs who wish to successfully develop real estate by

attracting joint venture investor partners.

For nutrients such as vitamin D (68 percent perception vs. 32 percent consumption), potassium (61 percent vs. less than 3 percent) and fiber (67 percent vs. 5 percent), the discrepancy between perception and reality is glaring.

The high percentage of consumers who are meeting their needs for B vitamins may be a testament to how fortification can help consumers meet their nutrient needs.

“Breads, rice and cereals, which are often fortified with B Vitamins, may be helping consumers meet their B vitamin needs, without the consumer realizing the added value,” says Romotsky.

However, there are still gaps in knowledge and consumption of a variety of other beneficial components, such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, flavonoids and zeaxanthin.

The good news, though, according to the survey, is that consumer interest in learning more about foods with benefits beyond basic nutrition remains high. Almost nine in 10 Americans say they are interested in learning more about foods that have health benefits beyond basic nutrition, but cited barriers such as price.

MIGRAINE From page 9A taking the pill — the real drug was four times more effective than the placebo.

The 66 subjects were given six envelopes containing a pill to take after their next six migraine attacks. Two of the envelopes were labeled with the name of a migraine drug (Maxalt, the brand name for the generic rizatriptan) even though only one of the envelopes had the real drug; two had no label so subjects didn’t know which was a placebo and which was the drug; and two were labeled “placebo,” even though only one really was.

The subjects were asked to rate their pain relief two hours after taking a pill. When they took the pill labeled a placebo, they reported 26 percent less pain. When they took a Maxalt-labeled pill, they reported 40 percent less pain.

And when they took a mystery pill that could have been either a placebo or Maxalt, they also reported a 40 percent decrease in pain.

RULE From page 9A The letter by the New Democrat Coalition said in part: “Before you send any proposal to the Office of Management and Budget, we respectfully request the opportunity to have a dialogue on how to best protect low- and middle-income individuals and small business, while ensuring access to investment education, information, and affordable investment products and services.”

It was signed by Reps. Rush Holt (N.J.), Carolyn McCarthy (N.Y.), Ron Kind (Wis.), Patrick Murphy (Fla.) and 26 other House Democrats, according to Investment News.

The forthcoming DOL proposal is actually a “re-proposal.” The original one was released for public comment and withdrawn in 2011 so it could be amended to reflect

some of the feedback from the financial industry and others, a DOL spokesman said.

The DOL has said it’s trying to protect workers and retirees who rely on 401(k)s and IRAs as their nest eggs from advice that may be unsuitable.

The fiduciary standard means that professionals who recommend an investment for their clients must do so because it’s in the clients’ best interest, not because they’d gain a huge commission from it.

GIRLS From page 11A niece as a person yet found her unqualified to date solely because of her race is what galls me.

While growing up in Alabama, I was told that part of the problem was that Blacks and Whites had not been allowed to interact under Jim Crow, not even in sports. However, when those barriers came down, or so the thinking went, racial prejudice would vanish and people would be judged as individuals, not as part of a supposedly superior or inferior race.

In three decades, there will be no majority race in the U.S., according to the Census Bureau. And that means that all racial and ethnic groups will need to learn to step outside their comfort zone to interact as equals with those who don’t look like them.

In his “I Have a Dream” speech, Dr. King said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Obviously that day has not arrived. Until it does, it’s incumbent upon all of us to make sure that it doesn’t just remain a distant dream.

POLICIES From page 11A 46 percent at Frederick Douglass since 2007. More schools should follow their lead. As Attorney General Holder said, “Too often, so-called zerotolerance policies – however well-intentioned…disrupt the learning process and can have significant and lasting negative effects on the long-term wellbeing of our young people – increasing their likelihood of future contact with juvenile and criminal justice systems.”

We cannot afford to keep putting our kids at risk or wasting their potential and jeopardizing the future of our nation with this misguided policy.

How Racism Almost Derailed 2014 BET Honorees Include Debbie Allen's Dance Career Aretha Franklin, Berry Gordy and More

Dance legend Debbie Allen shot to stardom in her role as Lydia Grant in the 1980s series "Fame," but it wasn't an easy road to get there. Allen says the racial divide she experienced as a child growing up in Texas almost stopped her from attending dance school. In the above clip from the upcoming episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" Allen recalls her struggle to earn acceptance into a ballet program.

"Growing up in Houston in the '50s and '60s was many things," Allen says.

"It was wonderful; it was a challenge. The challenges were the racial divide and because of that, I couldn't go to the dance school that I really wanted to go to."

Allen says she tried for six years to get into the Houston Ballet Foundation. "It made me strong to grow up in that environment," she says. At age 13,

NEW YORK — NBC is confirming that Bill Cosby is developing a possible new sitcom he would star in.

The deal brings the 76-year-old entertainer together with a writing staff to create a script for a comedy that casts Cosby as the patriarch of a multigenerational family.

An NBC spokesman said that, as yet, there is no series order, nor even a deal to produce a pilot episode.

Cosby’s greatest TV triumph began at NBC three decades ago, when “The Cosby Show” launched in September 1984. It ran for eight seasons.

Less successful was “Cosby,” another sitcom that aired on CBS for four seasons starting in 1996.

His latest TV venture is “Bill Cosby: Far From Finished,” a stand-up comedy special that premiered on Comedy Central in November.

Patti LaBelle Slams Today's Divas As 'Little Heifers'

Veteran singer Patti LaBelle may be one of the most celebrated performers in the business, but she is not is a diva. At least not anymore.

“That word is used so loosely that I don’t even consider myself a diva,” LaBelle said in an interview with PrideSource. “I always considered myself a woman who sings her heart out and who gives 120 percent. ‘Diva’ is a word that I wouldn’t wanna call myself because it’s so loosely used. It’s not cute anymore.”

Drake Reveals He Was High at His 'Degrassi' Audition

King Estate's Disapproval Forces Oliver Stone to Drop MLK Biopic

Controversial director Oliver Stone has been circling a Martin Luther King Jr. biopic for months, but he took to Twitter just three days before MLK Day to announce that his involvement with the project has come to an end.

Jamie Foxx was reportedly attached to the role of King before DreamWorks and Warner Bros. rejected Stone's latest script.

The news marks another wrinkle in the King estate's tight grip on the civil-rights leader's namesake. The studios were working in tandem with the family, who granted the right to use King's copyrighted speeches, but now seems to have raised eyebrows at Stone's approach. The family could damage the credibility and success of the movie if they express disdain.

Stone has been criticized for taking factual liberties in his previous historical features, namely 1991's "JFK," which implied that Lyndon B. Johnson staged a coup d'etat prior to President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

Still, regardless of what could be seen as the director's iffy credibility, it's clear that the King estate is unwilling to back a biopic that shines any sort of negative light on MLK. Director Paul Greengrass ("United 93," "Captain Phillips") faced a sim-

Oliver Stone ilar predicament in 2011 with "Memphis," another biopic that mentioned King's alleged extramarital affairs. Universal nixed "Memphis" after the estate reportedly told the studio it would condemn the movie if it enters production.

(Greengrass has since said the film will "definitely" still be made.) Lee Daniels ("Precious," "The Butler") received the same pressure a few years ago regarding his script for votingrights docudrama "Selma," which also contained references to sordid details about King's life. "Middle of Nowhere" director Ava DuVernay has taken over that project.

Deadline.com spoke with one of King's closest confidants, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young, in 2011, after he

contacted Universal to refute the claims made in Greengrass' script. When asked why he and the estate refused to submit to the standard warts-and-all approach that is often better received than biopics containing only sycophantic depictions of their subjects, Young said: "My only concern here is honoring the message of Martin Luther King’s life, and how you can change the world without killing anybody. ... It’s not wrong if the warts are there. But we had the most powerful and understanding wives in history: Coretta, my wife Jean, and Ralph Abernathy’s wife Juanita.

These women were more dedicated and enthusiastic in pushing us into these struggles than anybody, and the inference Coretta might have been upset about Martin being gone so much or them having marital troubles, it’s just not true. Maybe I’m piqued because nobody read my book, and I tried to be honest, and I was there. We were struggling with history that we didn’t even understand, but somehow by the grace of God it came out right. We were trying to change the world -- not by any means necessary, but by being dedicated to loving our enemies and praying for those who persecuted us."

Actor and comedian Halle Berry and Chaka Wayne Brady will host the Khan were among the hon- special. Performers will be orees at last year's BET announced at a later date.

Drake In a tale that could have been a plot straight out of "Degrassi," Drake revealed to Jimmy Fallon that he was high when he went to his first ever audition for the beloved Canadian teen melodrama.

"It was like a real pivotal day in my life because it was the first audition I went on, so that’s already a monumental thing. It was also the day that I got accepted by these like really cool Jewish kids at school, and they were finally like, 'Yo, come over,'" he explained to Fallon. "I had this really tug of war moment where I actually did something that I probably shouldn’t have done that starts with a ‘W’ and ends with ‘eed.'"

Drake continued, "It was crazy because I started really getting paranoid, I thought I’d just completely ruined my life, I started splashing water on my face constantly, it was like a Clearasil commercial! I showed up to the audition and got just a little less paranoid, went in and did what I could, was just devastated," Fortunately for Drake, the story had a much happier ending than most "Degrassi" episodes.

Patti LaBelle explained that there is a know, I’m speaking for me negative connotation to -- I don’t know if they like the word now, “because to be called divas -- but I all these little heifers who know I wouldn’t call them can’t sing are called di- divas, because it’s not in vas!” good company.”

The People’s Throb

As America Celebrates Black History Month, Who Stands Out in Your Mind the Most?

“Medgar Evers stands out. He was willing to push and stand up despite the consequences.

My mother stands out for teaching me I’m just as good as everyone else. Solomon Northrup stands out for fighting for others , when no one fought for him. Martin Luther King Jr., for instilling the idea of peace, while still fighting for what is right.”

“Martin Luther King; Emmitt Till; Rosa Parks; Malcolm X; Medgar Evers and Frederick Douglass. To me the aforementioned figures have proven to be some of the most influential symbols for civil rights and equality in America and beyond.”

“Martin Luther King stands out. He inspired me in a response that the spirit in me travels through the course of life.

The same unseen “Unification” of minds & souls that can’t resolve overnight.”

“Jerry Garcia, along with his band mates because he was all about equality and love. If you truly have love in your heart, you will be color-blind.”

“The People” stand out to me. “We” are the ones to speak out, to try to make the difference to one another. “We” make the movements.”

“My grandmother Sarah Jane Lexion, born in 1896 stands out in my mind as everything Black History means to me. She was a woman who refused to be stripped of her identity. She left me with so many pearls of wisdom, but this statement stands out in my mind ‘Baby, you’re just as good as anyone.’ And she meant no matter what, rich/poor, famous/or not...love is how you win people!”

First of 12 Captain Planet School Learning Gardens Opens in Ventura County

From page 1A Rio Del Norte Elementary School in Oxnard.

The Atlanta, Georgiabased foundation received funding from Keep America Beautiful to bring the Learning Gardens program to Ventura County.

CPF’s Learning Gardens program started with a pilot of 12 schools in Metro Atlanta in 2009, and will include over 120 gardens by the end of 2014. Ventura County is the Learning Gardens Program’s first foray outside of Atlanta.

Captain Planet and school volunteers build the gardens and Captain Planet then provides teachers with professional development, standards-based curriculum and kits of supplies necessary for teaching the curriculum. Participating schools also receive a fully-equipped mobile garden cooking cart and volunteers for summer garden management.

“Many of our students have family members who work in the agricultural business, yet they have never planted a seed themselves,” says Elise Legaspi, a third grade teacher at Rio Del Norte. “With this garden, the students will be able to watch and experience daily the wonder of planting a seed, caring for the young seedling and watching it grow and flourish.”

Twelve schools in Ventura County can participate in the garden program. Al-

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pur-

suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The Petition for Probate requests that STUART JACOBSON (A LICENSED PRIVATE PROFESSIONAL FIDUCIARY) be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: February 13, 2014 at Time: 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: J-6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF

VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, JJC - Probate.

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

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

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

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

The Petition for Probate requests that EDWARD NUNEZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A hearing on the petition will be held on Date: 2/19/14 at Time: 9 a.m. in Dept.: J6 located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF VENTURA, 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036, Juvenile Courthouse.

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

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

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

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1037 MCHUGH COURT, VENTURA, CA, 93003.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $449,784.01.

It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state.

Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself.

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

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER

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

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

You may examine the file kept by the court.

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

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

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

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

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $478,073.41 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

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

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

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

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

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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www. lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www. auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

CROW From page 11A suppressing a certain group of people. Southern Blacks were not full citizens nor were they protected by the US Constitution. Our nation during this part of history was a democratic sham.

So when these young Black soldiers went to California, they started to realize what freedom means. No more rural areas but cities and growing towns with complete modern infrastructure.

They saw a job market that was accepting all people regardless of race. Housing was plentiful.

Communities were even starting to build public housing for the new residents to get a jump start on family life. Immediately, they started writing home about this new and sparkling California.

From their word of mouth alone, Southern Blacks starting venturing out to the West Coast.

As the war ended, these Black veterans started settling in California. They sent for their loved ones. Wives, brothers, sisters and friends were joining these young veterans. Veterans had priority on all of the defense jobs that were recently created so it wouldn’t take long to find a good paying job.

Many would settle in clusters. Many of the Black students I grew up with had parents who grew up with my parents back in Bossier Parish, LA. We would even develop Southern style “tribes”. The Texan migrants might have a football game with the Oklahoma migrants. We Louisianans might take on the kids with Arkansas roots. In all it was fun.

I ran across an old picture of my people which inspired me to write this piece. http://www.nationalbcc.org/news/latest-news/1935-a-time-to-celebrate Mr. Alford is the co-founder, President/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce®.

GOP From page 11A on any national ticket in the history of the Republic.

The only comparable “golden-boy” phenomenon at the top of the Democratic Party was the tawdry adultery scandal that enveloped former North Carolina Senator John Edwards. But that came to light after Edward’s once-blazing political prospects had already dimmed considerably in the 2008 presidential primary.

Further, this “flawed golden boy” dynamic at the top of the GOP has been mirrored during the last four years among nearly half a dozen Tea Party insurgents who defeated establishment Republican officeholders in primary battles but whose political extremism ultimately cost the GOP seats in the House and Senate.

What this series of a self-inflicted sabotaging of the Party’s prospects suggests, as does other evidence, is that as the GOP has become more and more extreme, it’s lost more and more of the organizational discipline of a traditional American political party. Those – for example, today’s Democratic Party—have always been coalitions of significantly diverse political interest groups that by the very nature of party politics accepted the necessity of compromise.

But a substantial segment of conservative extremists within today’s GOP – the Tea Party faction – rejects the idea of compromise, even with their less ideological GOP confederates. The result, as the respected political scientists Thomas E. Mann and Norman Ornstein have written, is that “the Republican Party … has become an insurgent outlier – ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.”

The last two presidential elections have shown that’s not a road leading to the White House.

Which strongly suggests that the GOP itself does not have a golden future.

GARDENS From page 1B Gena Mathwin, another third grade teacher at Rio Del Norte. “We will be able to teach the students about healthy fruits and vegetables by standing right in the middle of our garden. It’s a wonderful opportunity to impact so many young minds and hearts (and stomachs!).”

“The Captain Planet Foundation is excited to expand its Captain Planet Learning Gardens Program to include Ventura County schools, thanks to generous support from Keep America Beautiful and local organizations like Wood-Claeyssens Foundation, Dole Foods, Limoneira, Union Bank, Mission Avocados, Ball Horticulture and Houweling’s Tomatoes,” says Kyla Van Deusen, gardens program manager at the Captain Planet Foundation. “This expansion would not be possible without Food For Thought Ojai, our local implementer. We’ve already seen Rio Del Norte Elementary School leverage our support to bring in a dozen additional growing spaces for their students.

Captain Planet teamed up with Food for Thought Ojai to facilitate the installation and running of the learning gardens. According to Food for Thought’s garden coordinator David White, “school gardens inspire our children and their families to make healthier food choices. Food for Thought has successfully run school gardens for the Ojai Unified School District for over 10 years and we’re excited about reaching out to schools throughout the county to share the insights and experience we have gained over this time.”

Teachers from participating schools will be attending a learning garden workshop on January 31 and February 1 at Hansen Agricultural Trust in Santa Paula. For information on how schools can apply for a Captain Planet Learning Garden, contact Kyla Van Deusen kyla@captainplanetfdn. org, 404-522-4585.
