Saturday April 12, 2014, a group of women gathered in one of the most beauti-ful venues at Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort, for

their 3rd annual African American Women of Santa Barbara County Luncheon. The venue afforded a beau-tiful view of the ocean, but was rivaled by spectacu-lar floral centerpieces and

a warmly lit, smooth jazz filled ballroom.

Wendy Sims-Moten, the event chairperson and visionary for the African American Women of Santa Barbara County (AAW),

welcomed the guests. The first speaker was cultural artist Jackie Joice, a writ-er, photographer and poet who read from her latest of several novels and books of poetry, “Green Grapes

is there a secret formula to being successful?

Dr. Lonnie G. McCowan, pastor of

Miracle Center of VenturaBy Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan

Success doesn’t just fall out of the sky nor does it happen out of nowhere. There is no book or movie you can watch to get you there. What it comes down to is habits. Habits are what separate the strong from the weak, the rich from, the poor, the doers from the hearers.

It is as simple as that. The difference between the successful people and the unsuccessful people of the world comes down to their different habits. Those who are successful have set forth the habits to get them there and those who are not dwell on their bad habits that they have acquired and will never change.

The difference between the habits comes down to the person. It comes down to their mind and how will-ing they are to take on the habits of those who are successful to manifest that

into their lives.unsuccessful people

criticize: They will find something wrong with everything and will blast your failures and shadow your successes. They will be the negative voice that doesn’t believe in anything and is narrow-minded.

Successful people compliment: They under-stand when they should give constructive criticism or not. They will talk with positivity and see the fu-ture in something rather than just talking down about something. They don’t keep much negativ-ity in their lives.

unsuccessful people blame others for their fail-ures: These people love to point the finger on anything and anyone when some-thing goes wrong in their lives. They constantly look for excuses and reasons as to why something didn’t happen, rather than looking into what they did wrong. This makes them feel better about failing; finger point-ing is the easy way out.

Successful people take responsibility for their own actions: They learn from their mistakes be-cause they look at what they did wrong, recognize it and figure out a way not to make the same mistake twice. They understand

they are responsible for their own actions.

unsuccessful people think they know it all: It’s funny because they walk around with their heads high as if they have the answer to every question that life has. They are stubborn; they al-ways think they are right and that they know it all, when instead they are idiots.

Successful people are constantly learning: Suc-cessful people understand that everything in life is about experience and the day you stop learning is the day you are dead. They are always asking questions and are always looking to attain more and more in-formation.

unsuccessful people don’t know what they want to be: They love spitting out the line “I don’t know what I want to do with my life.” They never have any direction and instead of looking for some direction or some sort of target, they just sit and complain about it. They are crybabies that lack action.

Successful people have a target and goals: They understand there is one fundamental in life, you need to understand where you are aiming so that you can start shooting towards SUCCESSFUL, See page 12A

Words to Live by

Inez LannsBy Inez Lanns

It seems that it has be-come the “norm” to talk things up or exercise exag-geration. Sometimes when people want someone to like them, they will try to pretend to be who they per-cieve the person expects. Or they may say things that they hope will make them look better. It has become culturally acceptable to tell “little white lies.” If a person thinks that the truth is going to “get them in trouble,” they may decide to not share all of the facts (what I call half-truths) or purpose to bend the truth a little to get ahead.

Truth however is black

and white. It is defined by Dictionary.com as a veri-fied or indisputable fact, proposition, principle or take. Truth represents hon-esty and integrity. Ones reputation hedges on the character of the individual. Once your reputation for transparency is put into question, it becomes hard to earn a respect from those around you. It’s like try-ing to stop a blazing fire by pouring on oil. Those lies spread and contaminent every area they touch. It is better to say nothing at all, rather than to tell a lie. Why even open your mouth if you know that you cannot deliver on what you have committed to? Good inten-tions don’t mean anything without the corresponding actions to follow.

When we don’t keep our word or make empty promises, we are inadver-tantly teaching others, es-pecially our young people, not to trust our words. We are also teaching them that they do not have to keep their word, unless it is con-venient to do so. A lack of

follow-through eventually leaves people feeling like they cannot trust or rely on others. It causes insecu-rity on many levels.

We must all think before we speak, feeling free to say “I would like to, but I can’t” or “let me get back to you IF I can do it, but please continue to look for someone else.” By being people of our word, we demonstrate that integrity is important. Our actions and level of commitment will teach those in our sphere of influence that we are reli-able, trustworthy and effec-tive. Not only by our words but actions. Being a person of character and people of our word will result in stronger relationships with others. Now I know that we have all fallen short in some areas, but it is never too late to begin. Let’s commit to startong today. If you say you’re going to be some-where, be there on time, if not early. If you say that you are going to do some-thing, do it. That is a good place to start.

VC Letter Carriers to embark on Charitable Postal route

VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. – On Saturday, May 10, Ventura County letter carriers will be caravan-ning more than just incom-ing and outgoing mail, and community members won’t have to venture far from their doorsteps to give back to the local hun-gry in a big way.

The day will mark the 22nd annual National Let-ter Carriers’ “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive –the largest single-day food drive—when thousands of letter carriers across the country will collect resi-dences’ food donations for their local food banks. To date, almost 1.3 billion pounds of food has been collected nationwide since the massive food drive

launched. Last year, FOOD Share, received more than 150,000 pounds of food to support the 74,500 hungry individuals as a result of the single-day food drive.

Ventura County resi-dents are asked to leave non-perishable, protein-rich foods in a bag next to their mailboxes for postal carriers to pick up while on their daily route. The donations will then be col-lected from participating post offices and taken to FOOD Share’s distribution site in Oxnard.

Corporate sponsors of the local event, Farmers Insurance and Montecito Bank & Trust, will team up with the National As-sociation of Letter Carriers to provide funds, resources

and company volunteers to support FOOD Share’s missions of feeding, nour-ishing and educating the hungry of Ventura County.

“It’s amazing how much a single-day food drive can have a profound impact re-plenishing our distribution site’s shelves,” explains Bonnie Weigel, president and CEO of FOOD Share. “Today, one in six people in Ventura County struggle with hunger and this issue doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Every donation makes a differ-ence and is truly appreci-ated. I encourage everyone to join us in making Stamp Out Hunger a success.”

Ventura Superior Court Warns Public of email and Phone Scams

VENTURA – Any re-cipients of a recent phish-ing scam disguised as an email from the Ventura Superior Court should im-mediately delete the email and not open any attach-ments which may contain computer viruses or stealth programs to steal personal information for possible identity theft.

Recently, the Ventura Superior Court began re-ceiving calls and emails from recipients of a phish-ing email which purports to be from the Clerk of the Court of the Ventura Supe-rior Court as well as other law enforcement agencies. Several email and phone scams now are widespread throughout the United States, falsely claiming that the intended victims have court cases or other legal issues pending in

California, Arizona, Flori-da plus many other states, and must pay money or provide private informa-tion.

Five different kinds of scams currently are ongo-ing, based on complaints received by California courts and other courts throughout the United States to date. However, new variations been ap-pearing in the recent weeks. Examples of these scams include, but are not limited to:

• Email scam falsely stating that the intended victim has engaged in “il-legal software use” and must appear in court.

• Another email scam falsely says that the in-tended victims have filed a court complaint or is the subject of court complaints. Many of these emails say

they come from the “court secretary”, “court clerk”, “attorney” or others.

• One telephone scam falsely says that the in-tended victim has failed to appear for jury duty in court and must pay money as a result.

• Another telephone scam falsely says that the intended victim has been sued over an old debt and must make a payment to settle the matter.

• In some instances, these emails have imper-sonated the web addresses of well known law firms and may contain an attach-ment, supposedly a court notice or summons, or may contain a link to web-site. Some reports say that the attachment or link may download a virus onto the user’s computer or device.

"These colleges can play an important role in meeting the state’s edu-cational and economic needs,” said Assembly-member Williams "But, the blatant abuses by some within the for-profit sector, which we read about in the news almost weekly, have forced California to focus on the business regulation and consumer protection side of oversight.”

According to State Au-ditor Howle, the state's program for regulation of private colleges and voca-tional institutions has his-torically been plagued by problems; today's Bureau continues to fail in meet-ing its statutory mandate to protect consumers and en-force the law. Legislators

Former nFL Star Shawne Merriman Suing nike over Lights out name

Angels Fan Learns Very Quickly That Players Aren't Supposed to be Touched

By Greg BeachamLAS VEGAS — Near-

ly two years later, Manny Pacquiao finally got the de-cision most people thought he deserved the first time against Timothy Bradley.

Pacquiao won a unani-mous decision in his re-match with Bradley on Saturday night, avenging his 2012 loss and claim-ing the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao (56-5-2) pur-sued and peppered the pre-viously unbeaten Bradley around the MGM Grand Garden ring with an ag-gressive effort occasional-ly recalling the Pacman in his prime. Bradley fought back with counterpunch-ing and elusiveness, but Pacquiao kept up his at-tack while Bradley (31-1) struggled down the stretch.

In the same arena where

the fighters met for their first bout, Pacquiao left little doubt about the result — although that's what he thought last time, too. Bradley's split-decision victory astonished most

ringside observers, who felt Pacquiao had earned a clear decision.

"I knew I had to do more in this fight than I did in the last fight," Pacquiao said.

Curtis Granderson argues with fan who touched his back.

By Michael Klopman An Angels fan needed

to be reminded that specta-tors aren't allowed to touch players during the game. After Mets outfielder Cur-tis Granderson caught a fly ball by the right field foul pole, a fan at Angel Sta-dium of Anaheim touched his back as he was about to throw it toward the infield.

That didn't appear to sit well with Granderson, who held the ball and immedi-ately turned around to con-front the fan. The man was escorted out of the stadium by security shortly after the altercation, per Newsday.

"He touched me," Granderson told News-day after the game. "Then I turned around and he's like, 'I didn't mean to.' I said, 'Hey, just don't touch

me.' So that was it. Say whatever you want to say, boo, cheer, clap, cheer for your team, cheer for the other team. But just don't physically touch players."

If given the choice be-tween a toddler and Tim Tebow, Philadelphia Ea-gles star LeSean McCoy says he'd definitely pick the tyke.

TMZ asked McCoy for his opinion as to who he thinks the most talented NFL player without a team is. "[For] example, Vince Young, Tim Tebow… someone out there who doesn't have a team," a re-porter for the news outlet can be heard asking the 25-year-old running back in a video of the exchange.

"Tim Tebow?" McCoy responds, with a frown. "My son is two… I'd take my son over Tim Tebow."

Tebow hasn't been picked up by an NFL team since being released by the New England Patriots after only a few months before the 2013 season.

Bill Russell

By Jim VertunoAUSTIN, Texas —

NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell said that gay ath-letes' current fight for equality and acceptance reminds him of some of the same struggles black athletes faced in the 1960s.

Russell, who won 11 NBA championships with the Boston Celtics, said talk about whether gay athletes can be good team-mates or if they might disrupt locker rooms are the same questions black athletes heard years ago, when colleges and profes-sional leagues were strug-gling with the concept of integration.

"It seems to me, a lot of questions about gay ath-letes, were the same ques-tions they used to ask about us," Russell said during a panel discussion at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presi-dential Library in Austin, which is hosting a summit celebrating the 50th anni-versary of the Civil Rights Act.

Russell said he would have only one question about a gay teammate: Can he play?

Russell, 80, joined NFL

Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, 78, on a panel about sports and race dur-ing the three-day Civil Rights Summit.

Brown and Russell were key figures, as athletes and black leaders, during the civil rights movement. Both men said they ap-proached civil rights as a struggle for respect for hu-man beings based on their character and merit, not the color of their skin.

Their comments came just hours after UMass basketball player Derrick Gordon became the first openly gay player in Divi-sion I men's basketball.

The former athletes also addressed the question of whether college athletes should be able to form unions and collectively bargain with their univer-sities. Brown said he op-posed unionizing college athletes, but also said he disliked the model of the NCAA.

"It's not going to be a struggle between the NCAA and the union, that will just be (about) money ... put the value back on education," Brown said.

Russell, however, re-membered fighting to form the NBA players union to get better contracts. That only worked when players threatened to sit out an all-star game and the playoffs, Russell said.

"All great fortunes are amassed with either cheap or slave labor," Russell said. "The NCAA is the one group everybody is fo-cusing on. They have this money machine. To keep it this way, the labor force has to be free or very low wages ... All the agree-ments with the NBA now are based on collective bargaining."

Shawne Merriman

SAN DIEGO — Former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman is suing Nike Inc. for trademark infringement and unfair competition over its Lights Out apparel line.

The suit, filed on behalf of Merriman's Lights Out Holdings LLC, was filed in U.S. District Court.

According to the suit, after Nike and Merriman unsuccessfully negotiated to create a Lights Out ap-parel line in 2006 or 2007, the company used the name anyway.

The lawsuit says Mer-riman acquired the federal trademark rights for Lights Out in 2007.

He was nicknamed "Lights Out" after knock-ing out opponents in a high school game.

The suit demands an in-junction to stop trademark infringement and related unfair business practices, as well as damages to be determined at trial.

A Nike spokesman said the company doesn't com-ment on litigation.

By Ashley Woods College basketball fans

across the country fell for the story of an uncommon friendship between a hoops star and one of his biggest fans: 6'10" Adreian Payne, a senior on the Michigan State Spartans, and a little girl in a long blonde wig who went by the nickname "Princess Lacey."

Lacey Holsworth, age 8, of St. Johns, Mich., died early Wednesday, April 9, according to media reports. Her battle with a rare form of cancer led her to Payne, with whom she formed an achingly close bond.

The friendship between Payne and Lacey wasn't just unusual, it was unlike-ly. Many expected Payne to leave Michigan State University for the NBA after his junior year. But Payne, who had been di-agnosed as cognitively dis-abled as a child in Dayton, Ohio, wanted to finish his coursework in sociology and become the first per-son from his family to earn a college degree.

Two years ago, during a team-sponsored hospital

visit, he met Lacey, who had been diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggres-sive cancer that invades the nerve tissue. The little girl had a football-sized tumor surrounding her kidney and another tumor wrapped around her spine when she was diagnosed in 2011. For several months, the cancer paralyzed her. By all ac-counts, she was drawn to

Payne from the beginning.Despite his life as a

popular Michigan State basketball player and stu-dent, Payne visited Lacey in the hospital several times, and they began tex-ting every day. When the Spartans competed in the Elite Eight this year, Lacey was there. When Payne competed during the NCAA slam dunk contest, Lacey sat in the stands. And when Payne was able to pick anyone in the world to accompany him on the floor for Senior Day this year, he chose Lacey.

"There's days where the smiles don't come as easily. When he can walk in the room and you can see her light up like that, it means everything," her mother, Heather Holsworth, said in a segment filmed by the Big Ten Network.

“She has taught me to fight through everything, to always continue to have a smile on my face,” Payne said in the video, “even when things are going wrong.”

Lacey’s impact on Payne and the MSU bas-ketball team will live on.

California Fight for Free Preschool Passes First Hurdle

Norbert Tan, executive director,

Ventura College Foundation

By Sharon BernsteinSACRAMENTO - A

proposal to offer free pre-school to all California four-year-olds passed its first legislative hurdle on with support from Demo-crats but facing skepti-cism from Governor Jerry Brown and some educators that could doom its chanc-es this year.

The $1.5 billion pro-gram is being pushed hard by the state senate's Demo-cratic leader, Darrell Stein-berg, who is leaving office at the end of this year and views it as key to his leg-acy in the most populous U.S. state.

"Thirty million words - that's the gap between the number of words heard by low-income children and their middle- and upper-in-come peers," Steinberg told the senate education com-mittee. "That number as-tounds me. They are behind before they even get started

in their formal schooling."The bill, which passed

the senate education com-mittee, comes as a call for universal pre-K is gaining traction around the country. Lawmakers in New York state included $300 million for public preschool pro-grams there, and Oklahoma also offers them.

The idea is favored by many education advocates, who say children whose par-ents cannot afford preschool fall behind quickly once

they get to kindergarten, and many never catch up.

The California proposal let districts offer pre-K in public schools or pay pri-vate operators.

The plan would roll out gradually over five years, starting with children with January birthdays and gradually expanding. Chil-dren would not be required to attend.

The proposal goes next to the senate’s appropria-tions committee.

By Jessica Dickerson There was a time when

black students were not allowed to attend Ivy Leagues universities. This year, Harvard Univer-sity proved just how far they’ve come from that part of their history.

According to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Educa-tion, this year marks Har-vard’s highest percentage of accepted black students to date. The journal predicts that the class of 2018 will have approximately 170 black students out of a total of 2,023 -- almost 12 per-cent of the class population. It goes on to stress the fact that American colleges most known for their selective-ness tend to average only 5 to 10 percent black students.

Two high schoolers made headlines for not only receiv-ing acceptance letters from Harvard, but from several Ivy League schools: Kwasi Enin -- who was accepted to all eight Ivy Leagues -- and

Avery Coffey, who was ac-cepted to five.

Indeed, it’s been a good year of breaking stereo-types for black students, including Ivy-bound Akin-tunde Ahmad, a Bay Area teen who carries a copy of his report card around on his phone to prove his 5.0 GPA and 2100 SAT score.

The current rise in mi-nority admissions is cer-tainly something to cel-ebrate, but there's still progress to be made. Dr.

Boyce Watkins of Syra-cuse University praised the institution for their his-toric achievement, but also challenged schools to look to increase diversity else-where on campus, namely through the faculty.

While we are tempted to jump up and down in ex-citement over the school's decision to accept the fact that blacks are just as bright as whites, we might need to take a moment of pause. Even though the presence of black students is very important to a cam-pus, the reality is that ad-mitting students of color neither requires significant courage nor shows any real sign of meaningful progress when it comes to truly shaping the direction of a university. The holy grail of power in any aca-demic environment is the number of tenured faculty positions, which Harvard continues to keep African Americans from obtaining.

Camarillo – CSU Chan-nel Islands (CI) is pleased to announce its first fully online degree – the Bache-lor of Science in Business, offered through the Martin V. Smith School of Busi-ness & Economics and CI’s Extended University.

The new online degree allows students to earn their B.S. in Business at a conve-nient time and location and accelerated pace, with the same outstanding instruction and curriculum as CI’s on-campus degree, and in a for-mat that meets the demands and challenges of 21st Cen-tury business learning.

“A large number of our students are juggling jobs, family responsibilities and trying to further their educa-tion and career potential at the same time,” said Dr. Wil-liam P. Cordeiro, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Director of the MVS School of Business & Economics. “We’ve adapted

CI’s popular business pro-gram so they don’t have to put their lives on hold to ad-vance. Students can earn the same degree and enjoy the flexibility of 24-7 access to CI’s faculty, support and re-sources online.”

The degree is offered in partnership with Cal State Online, the CSU system’s centralized resource for of-fering distance-learning degree programs. The first candidates are invited to ap-ply no later than July 15 to be considered for admission to the fall 2014 entering class.

“The online B.S. in Business represents another great step in fulfilling CI’s mission of making a high-quality college education attainable for citizens of our region, the state, and be-yond,” said Dr. Gary Berg, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Ex-tended University & Inter-national Programs. “Now we can reach and support

students for whom enroll-ment in our on-campus de-gree program is difficult or impossible. Among those served by this program will be working adults, mem-bers of the military, and former CSU students who have left in good standing, but had to ‘stop out’ of their degree programs.”

The program is open to transfer students who have completed 60 units of low-er division general educa-tion requirements for the Business major. For the 2014-15 academic year, CI anticipates enrolling 100 students, with enroll-ment increasing to 200 in the subsequent year. Stu-dents may complete the degree either on a full-time or part-time basis. A Cal State Online coach will guide and support them through the application process. The cost is $500 per unit, with a minimum

Ventura — The Ven-tura College Foundation is awarding $300,000 in scholarships to nearly 200 Ventura College students in May. The Foundation received over 400 applica-tions for the scholarships, which range from $500 to $9,000 and honor students’ academic achievement or their chosen field of study.

At the 27th Annual Scholarship Awards Gala on May 3 at the Ventura Beach Marriott, donors will see firsthand the im-pact of their donation as they present scholarships to the student recipients. Student Brenda Zuniga and donor Irene Henry will also speak on how being involved with the college has impacted their lives.

Another scholarship

awards ceremony will be held the following week for students receiving scholarships from donors who have since passed.

“Each year, it gets harder and harder to choose which students to honor because we have such a high caliber pool of applicants for each

scholarship fund,” said Nor-bert Tan, executive direc-tor of the Ventura College Foundation. “This drives our work at the Founda-tion—to raise even more in donation support so that we can distribute scholarship awards to as any deserving students as possible.”

A sampling of scholar-ships that will be awarded include the $1,000 Don L. Carlton Family Scholar-ship for business students, the $2,000 Kaiser Perma-nente Nursing Promise Scholarship and the Mary Guthrie Teaching Scholar-ship for students transfer-ring to a four-year public university who plan to be-come K-12 teachers.

Assemblymembers Melendez and Gorell Announce Whistleblower Protection Bill

Assemblymember Jeff Gorell

Sacramento, CA – Cit-ing the recent suspension of three California State Sena-tors facing separate felony criminal charges including perjury, voter fraud, bribery, corruption, and gun traf-ficking, Assemblymembers Jeff Gorell (R-Camarillo) and Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore) today announced legislation to provide whistleblower pro-tections for legislative staff members who report illegal and unethical behavior of their superiors.

“Corruption must never be tolerated. The legisla-ture should be doing ev-erything in its power to ensure this government is one of honor and integ-rity,” said Assemblywom-

an Melendez. “Providing whistleblower protections to legislative staff is a first step in the fight to eradi-cate corruption and begin the process of restoring the public’s trust.”

“We can encourage a greater level of account-ability and transparency by giving legislative staff members the confidence to report this type of crimi-nal behavior in the fu-ture,” stated Assemblyman Gorell, a former Ventura County prosecutor. “Staff members have the great-est visibility over activities in and around the Capi-tol, and they are likely to have the most immediate knowledge of unethical or criminal behavior. We must create an environ-ment where employees feel more comfortable re-porting bad behavior.”

ellis Act reform Bill Clears Senate Housing Committee

Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson

SACRAMENTO -- State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) announced that, due to a lack of support from some of her legislative colleagues in the Senate Business, Pro-fessions and Economic De-velopment Committee, she is shelving a bill this year to create the nation’s first statewide drug take-back program for prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Jackson plans to introduce a bill tackling this same topic next year.

In the meantime, Jack-son is amending Senate Bill 1014 to move a bill forward that will reinstate model guidelines, devel-oped by CalRecycle, for local governments want-

ing to create their own drug take-back programs, so that efforts can continue at the local level.

“I am disappointed that we were unable to move forward with a statewide plan this year, but I am

committed to this issue and to helping to solve the immense public health and environmental challenges created by unused prescrip-tion and over-the-counter drugs. I always expected change of this magnitude to be a multi-year effort. I look forward to taking the next several months to de-termine how to best move forward with legislation next year that will create a statewide drug take-back program,” Jackson said.

Jackson added, “Most of all, I look forward to the day when the multi-billion dol-lar pharmaceutical industry steps up to take responsibil-ity and joins us as a partner in tackling legislation that

In a major step forward for Ellis Act reform, Sena-tor Leno’s bill to stop un-fair Ellis Act evictions in San Francisco passed the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee. SB 1439 closes a loophole in the Ellis Act that allows speculators to buy rent-controlled buildings and immediately begin the process of evicting long-term renters. The bill is co-sponsored by San Fran-cisco Mayor Edwin Lee and Tenants Together, and is supported by numer-ous local businesses, labor groups, elected officials, senior organizations, and tenant advocates.

Tenants from San Fran-cisco rallied on the steps of the Capitol before the hear-ing and packed the hearing room. Numerous commu-nity organizations includ-ing Chinatown Community Development Corporation, Community Tenant Asso-ciation, Mission Economic Development Corporation, Housing Rights Commit-tee of San Francisco, Bill Sorro Housing Program, and Asian Americans Ad-vancing Justice were pres-ent to support the bill at the hearing.

“California’s Ellis Act was specifically designed to allow legitimate land-lords a way out of the

rental business, but in San Francisco this state law is being abused by specula-tors who never intend to be landlords,” said Sena-tor Leno, D-San Francisco. “As a result, longtime ten-ants, many of them seniors, disabled people and low-income families, are being uprooted from their homes and communities. The five-year holding period in my bill would prevent these devastating evictions from forever changing the face of our diverse city.”

SB 1429 authorizes San Francisco to prohibit new property owners from invoking the Ellis Act to evict tenants for five years after the acquisition of a property. The bill also prohibits property owners that exit the rental housing business through the Ellis Act from later using the Act on new properties they acquire.

A new report from Ten-ants Together, California’s statewide organization for renters’ rights, reveals that most Ellis Act evictions in San Francisco have been initiated by investors, not landlords. Tenants Togeth-er’s report, The Speculator Loophole: Ellis Act Evic-tions in San Francisco, re-leased last week, is available online at www.tenantsto-gether.org/ellisreport.

State Controller John Chiang

SACRAMENTO – State Controller John Chiang released several audits of the City of Cu-dahy examining the city's internal controls and fiscal management practices, as well as its compliance with state laws governing the use of transportation and redevelopment funds.

The Controller found the City's administration during the period between July 2010 and June 2012 had virtually no internal controls to prevent the mis-use of taxpayer dollars. His investigations identi-fied questionable leave pay, violations of the City's contract code, uncontrolled

credit card spending and mismanaged state grant funds. The Controller also reviewed redevelopment asset transfers and ordered $22.7 million in redevelop-ment assets to be returned to the successor agency.

"These audits found

that the city's prior lead-ers displayed little regard for fundamental account-ing and fiscal management practices necessary to pro-mote transparency and pro-tect taxpayer dollars," said Chiang. "Very few controls or checks and balances ex-isted to guard against cor-ruption, abuse, and fiscal mismanagement. The few rules that did exist were not followed, and questionable spending was rampant."

The Controller initiated the internal control audit late last year at the request of the City's new management, and provided draft copies of the report to the City in Feb-ruary. The City's response to each finding is included in the published report.

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris

FRESNO -- Attorney General Kamala D. Har-ris announced the arrest of eleven individuals associ-ated with a Central Valley-based narcotics traffick-ing organization and the seizure of over $200,000 in cash and drugs includ-ing over 50 lbs. of meth-amphetamine and nearly 1,000 marijuana plants.

"Transnational drug traffickers aren't troubled by the details of law en-forcement jurisdictions or government borders, and neither should our enforce-ment efforts,” Attorney General Harris said. “My California Department of Justice Task Force worked closely with local, state and federal law enforce-ment officials throughout the Central Valley to dis-mantle the Magana organi-zation. Our success shows the pressing need for more

collaboration and funding to fight transnational drug trafficking in California.”

Defendants Jose Maga-na, Manuel Munoz and Juan Parra were arrested on March 4, 2014, defen-dant John DeWayne Young was arrested on November 10, 2013 and defendant Ana Valero was arrested

on March 11, 2014, all in Tulare County. Defendants Erwin Alva, Rosemary Al-varez, Ernesto Carrillo and Christopher Pellegrin were arrested on March 4, 2014 in Riverside County. They are charged with thirteen felony counts including possession, transportation and sale of a controlled substance, prohibited pos-session of ammunition, and conspiracy. All are currently being held in Tu-lare County Jail and are being prosecuted by the Tulare County District At-torney. Alva, Alvarez, Car-rillo, Munoz, Pellegrin and Valero are being held on $500,000 bail, Magana and Parra are being held with-out bail and Young is being held on $3 million bail.

Joecelyn Thornton

Little Rock, AR — Jo-ecelyn Thornton, a 33-year old woman from Little Rock, was caught on video attacking an elderly couple at a local restaurant when they asked her to stop curs-ing while she was talking on her cell phone.

It happened at Cuisine of China, a local Chinese food restaurant, where 74-year old Don Francis and his 69-year old wife Bettye told police that were bru-tally attacked by Thornton after they politely asked her to stop cursing.

The surveillance video seems to confirm their sto-ry. Thorton is seen walk-ing over to their table and jumping in to the elderly man’s face, provoking him. His wife intervenes, and then Thornton jumps into her face and starts provok-ing her. The elderly woman then pushes Thornton out of her face, and then suddenly Thornton starts attacking

her, shoving her into a table and punching her in the face.

Employees at the res-taurant were reportedly in complete shock. They called police immediately, and Thornton was arrested on the spot. She is now being charged with 2nd degree battery and 2nd degree assault. The elder couple, meanwhile, were so shaken up that they did not comment to the media about what happened.

On a Saturday in July of 2012, Adaisha Miller at-tended a fish fry hosted by Detroit Police Officer Issac Parrish at his home in the city. Miller, 24, was celebrat-ing -- she would have turned 25 the following Monday.

Parrish was off-duty, but wearing his gun. While Miller was dancing with him that night, the weapon accidentally discharged, puncturing her lung and striking her in the heart. She died after she was tak-en to a hospital.

"All my daughter did was try to enjoy her 25th birthday. Now, instead of planning her 25th birthday party, I have to plan her funeral," Miller's moth-er Yolanda McNair told WXYZ-TV at the time.

Both the Detroit Police Department and the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office

A group of New York lawmakers have sent a let-ter to U.S. Attorney Gener-al Eric Holder asking that the Department of Justice conduct an investigation into the fatal 2012 shoot-ing of an unarmed black teen by New York City po-lice officers.

“In the interest of seek-ing truth and justice, we are asking for an extensive and exhaustive investi-gation into the killing of Ramarley Graham," reads the letter, which the New York Daily News reports was sent to Holder's office last month by members of the state's Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus.

Eighteen-year-old Ra-marley Graham was shot and killed by NYPD Of-ficer Richard Haste inside Graham's grandmother's Bronx home on February

2, 2012. Haste chased Gra-ham into the house with-out a warrant, and fatally shot the teenager inside the bathroom. Haste, whom a grand jury ultimately declined to indict for the shooting, claims he heard over a police radio that Graham had a gun.

Graham was unarmed.

All he had in his posses-sion that day was a small bag of marijuana.

Attorney General Eric Holder and Rev. Al Sharpton

By Eleanor GoldbergEvery other Saturday

Rick Wood delivers hun-dreds of hot dogs and bot-tles of water to homeless people in need. But the people who rely on Wood's generosity may soon be left empty-handed.

Wood, who is a pastor at the Lord’s House of Prayer in Oneonta, Ala., has been feeding the homeless for the past six years without a glitch. But, last month, the city told Wood that he had to halt his mission because it had passed an ordinance that regulates food trucks, Think Progress reported.

Though the ordinance pertains specifically to re-tailers, the city said that it still applies to Wood and

that he has to obtain a $500 permit in order to continue helping the homeless.

"I'm just so totally shocked that the city is turning their back on the homeless like this," he told ABC 33/40. "It's like they want to chase them out of

the city. And the home-less can't help the position they're in. They need help."

But Wood has vowed to continue his service, like many other advocates who have faced similar bureau-cratic measures.

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- At-torney General Eric Holder said he wasn't referring to race when he strayed from prepared remarks during a speech before a civil rights group in order to discuss the way he has been treated at a House Judiciary Com-mittee hearing.

"I didn't say there was a racial component. I was very careful not to say that," Holder told The Huffington Post when asked about his comments before the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Ac-tion Network.

In his speech, Holder said that he and President Barack Obama have faced "unwarranted, ugly and di-visive adversity."

"What attorney gen-eral has ever had to deal with that kind of treat-ment? What president has

ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?" Holder asked during his National Action Network speech.

Although much of the media coverage of Hold-er's comments interpreted them as a reference to racial divisions, he told

HuffPost that he was refer-ring to a lack of civility in Washington.

"I think what we have seen is kind of a break-down in civility in Wash-ington, D.C., and that be-comes important because I think it has substantive impact," Holder said. "We are celebrating the 50th anniversary passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. If we had a Congress or an executive branch-legisla-tive branch relationship in the way that we now have one, where there's this lack of civility, I wonder whether or not you could have forged the necessary compromises, things that involved personal relation-ships, in order to get such a landmark piece of legisla-tion passed.

Why your Financial Advisor is Probably not your Friend

If you've got teenag-ers, you already know how expensive high school can be. Besides food, cloth-ing and school supplies, a whole host of extracurricu-lar activities are competing for a share of your wallet – even as you frantically try to save for college and your own retirement.

One of the biggest ex-penses you'll encounter is prom. Gone are the days of borrowing dad's suit and crepe paper streamers in the school gym: Today's proms are often more like a Hollywood premiere with limousines, designer gowns and swanky after-parties.

I'm not kidding. Ac-cording to a recent nation-wide survey conducted by Visa Inc., the average U.S. family with a high school student attending the prom expects to spend $978 this year. Surprisingly, that's down 14 percent from last year's survey average of $1,139 per family.

A few other interesting statistics the survey uncov-ered:

• On average, parents plan to pay for about 56 percent of prom costs, with their kids picking up the remaining 44 percent.

• Parents in lower in-come brackets (less than $50,000 a year) plan to spend an average of $733 – a considerable share of the family budget. Thankfully, that's down significantly from last year's $1,245 es-timate.

• Those earning over

Homeowners desire American-Made Solar Panels

$50,000 will spend an av-erage of $1,151.

Here's a breakdown of how those prom dollars typically get spent:

• New prom dresses of-ten cost $100 to $500 or more.

• Plan on spending an-other couple hundred for shoes, accessories, flowers and professionally styled hair, nails and make-up.

• New tuxedos cost sev-eral hundred dollars, not to mention the formal shirt, tie, studs and shoes you'll need. Even renting all this will likely run over $150.

• Figure at least $80 an hour plus tip to rent a lim-ousine for a minimum of four to six hours.

• Prom tickets typically cost $50 to $150 per per-son, depending on venue, entertainment, meals, etc. And don't forget about commemorative photos.

• The couple will prob-ably need at least $50 for a nice pre-prom meal.

• After-parties can run anywhere from a few bucks at the bowling alley to hundreds of dollars for group hotel suites.

As with weddings and vacations, spending on prom can easily spiral out of control, especially if your teenager isn't used to sticking to a budget. Use this as a learning experi-ence by getting your kid involved making tough de-cisions, helping to priori-tize expenses from vital to non-essential.

To help with the prom budgeting process, Visa

launched a free smart-phone app last year called Plan'it Prom. You sim-ply enter your budgeted amounts for each item and then track actual spend-ing on your phone or tab-let as you shop. The app also includes budgeting tips, a photo gallery and a timeline for tracking pre-prom deadlines. Plan'it Prom is available at the iTunes store, the Google Play store and from www.practicalmoneyskills.com/prom.

Here are a few prom cost-saving ideas:

• Shop for formal wear at consignment stores or online. As with tuxedos, many outlets rent formal dresses and accessories for one-time use.

• Have make-up done at a department store's cos-metics department or find a talented friend to help out.

• Split the cost of a limo with other couples, or drive yourselves.

• Team up with other parents to host a pre-prom dinner buffet or after-party.

• Take pre-prom photos yourself and have the kids use their cellphones or digital cameras for candid shots at various events.

Bottom line: You want to ensure your child has a memorable high school experience, but not at the expense of your overall budget.

The importance of money is impressed upon most Americans as soon as we’re old enough to buy candy. But the importance of money management is an entirely different story, says self-made millionaire

Mike Finley.“Think about all that we

do to prepare children for the world; we fill them up with things we think are most important for doing well as adults and spend tens of thousands of dol-

lars for higher education, but they never take a class on how to manage person-al finances,” says Finley, author of “Financial Hap-pine$$,” (www.thecrazy-maninthepinkwig.com), which discusses his jour-ney to financial literacy and applying the principles that allowed him to retire from the Army a wealthy man.

“Our culture celebrates privacy and self determi-nation, which is why, I think, we don’t want to tell students how they should spend their money, but I think young people are hungry for guidance.”

Seventy-six percent of Americans are living pay-check to paycheck, accord-ing to a recent CashNetU-SA survey. That percentage varies with other studies; however, the percentage never dips below at least 50 percent of Americans who have very little in savings, says Finley, whose volun-tary night class on financial literacy at the University of Northern Iowa is always packed beyond capacity.

(NewsUSA) - With so-lar installation booming in the U.S., a growing number of consumers are choosing American-made solar pan-els for their homes.

To date, about 13 giga-watts of solar electric ca-pacity have been installed nationwide -- enough to power over 2 million households. Simultane-ously, 82 percent of people who responded to a recent solar survey said they sup-port making solar panels on American soil.

"We've all heard about the importance of manu-facturing to the American economy," said Robert Fortunato, whose Califor-nia home hosts 26 solar panels made by SolarWorld in Hillsboro, Ore. "We se-lected our U.S.-made solar system for its quality, re-liability and financial re-turn and because we think it's important to support American workers."

Solar installers and electricians offer a range of domestic products.

"We made a decision at PetersenDean to only source our solar products from North America. As a result, we're supporting the American economy, sup-porting American work-ers and reinvesting those dollars back in America," said Jim Petersen, founder of PetersenDean, a na-tionwide solar and roofing company.

According to industry experts, here are the top reasons that homeowners select solar panels from American manufacturers:

Quality and reliability. A residential solar system is, effectively, a power plant installed on a home rooftop, and it's designed to last at least 25 years. Consumers trust Ameri-can solar manufacturers to stand behind their product guarantees because these companies rank high in measures of quality, re-sponsiveness to warranty claims, accessibility for customer service and com-pliance with safety re-quirements.

High rents Make Housing unaffordable in Southern California

Home Decorating For Mass Appeal:Choices you Make May Affect

your Home Sale

In order to afford a mod-est, two-bedroom apart-ment at Fair Market Rent in Southern California, renters need to earn at least $26.88 per hour in the Los Angeles metro region, $21.54 in the Riverside/San Bernardino metro re-gion, and a high of $31.62 in Orange County. This is Southern California’s 2014 Housing Wage, revealed in a report released today. The report, Out of Reach 2014, was jointly released by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a Wash-ington, DC-based research and advocacy organization, and the Southern California Association of Non Profit Housing (SCANPH).

Every year, Out of Reach provides this figure, referred to as the Housing Wage, and other housing affordability data for every state, metropolitan area, combined non metropoli-tan area, and county in the country. An estimated 65% of renters in Los Angeles metro region, 58% in the

Riverside/San Bernardino metro region, and 60% in Orange County do not earn enough to afford a two-bed-room unit at the Fair Mar-ket Rent. It is estimated that 61% of renters statewide cannot afford this rent.

According to Robert Dhondrup at SCANPH, “the divergence between the ever growing costs of housing to real income lev-els of Southern California working families has got-ten wider. Real income has stagnated or remained flat for most Southern Califor-nia households but the cost of housing, even with the financial crisis, has kept in-creasing – especially with regards to the rental mar-ket. Those foreclosed fami-lies are now renters adding to the market pressure.”

Working at the mini-mum wage in California, a family must have over three full-time wage earn-ers working full-time, or one full-time earner work-ing 130 hours, to afford a modest two-bedroom

apartment. This would demonstrate that arguments calling for increasing the minimum wage at both the State and local levels, as with the City of Los An-geles, could provide a sub-stantial amount of econom-ic relief to these minimum wage households.

The national Housing Wage is $18.92 in 2014. In California, the Fair Market Rent (FMR) for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,354. In order to af-ford this level of rent and utilities – without paying more than 30% of income on housing – a household must earn $4,514 monthly or $54,168 annually. As-suming a 40-hour work week, 52 weeks per year, this level of income trans-lates into a Housing Wage of $26.04 in California – the second highest in the nation only behind Hawaii.

In California, the es-timated mean (average) wage for a renter is $18.50. In order to afford the FMR

By Phoebe Chongchua One of the advantages

of owning your own home is the ability to decorate it and make structural chang-es the way you like. How-ever, when it comes time to list and sell that same home, those changes may help or hurt you depending on what you have done to the house.

When it comes to homes listed for sale, be-ing unique can be both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing if what makes the home unique is appealing to most. For instance, the only lot with a larger than normal backyard.

It’s a curse, if the home is unique because of its out-rageous color, or incredibly small storage space.

If, for example, a two bedroom home was remod-eled to remove a closet and make the room a den or study, this could negatively impact the home because it will appear to many buyers that while the room can be

used for sleeping, it’s not practical because it lacks a closet. Many buyers will see this as a flaw. While they might appreciate space for a den or office, it’s bet-ter to not remove the closet because then when it comes time to sell it, the den can be shown as both - an office or a bedroom.

Wood floors offer a timeless appeal to the masses. Yes, some may not prefer wooden floors but, generally speaking, most buyers will appreciate

them. They also know that they can easily cover up the wood with their own area rugs to keep the home cozier-appearing in winter months. Wood floors, kept in good condition, can create an anti-aging look. Over the decades they hold their appeal.

Slightly worn furniture. I don’t mean worn as in the baby threw up on the sofa. Rather, I’m referring to pieces of furniture that have slight imperfections. These imperfections can actually enhance the furniture. In-stead of being seen as an eyesore, this style, some-times called “distressed”,is often coveted and more easily assimilated into cur-rent decor because any slight imperfections are perceived as “the way the piece was meant to be” rather than a flaw.

Five Financial risks to Consider in retirement

Health Care's Future is in the Home

Advanced technology is making home health care even better.

(NewsUSA) - Home health care is an essential part of the nation's health care system.

Rapid advances in technology and new ways health care is provided to patients have created new opportunities to receive care at home. The health care community is con-stantly evolving and under-standing that not only does home health care reduce the overall cost of treatment, it also improves the quality of life of patients and their families. In fact, a recent study by the U.S. Govern-ment Accountability Office revealed that people receiv-ing home care tend to live longer and have a better quality of life.

Home health care pro-viders include medical pro-fessionals like physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, as well as medical social services providers and skilled home health aides. It's the best way to ensure ill, elderly or disabled people receive

high-quality health care in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. In addi-tion, home health nurses serve as the eyes and ears of physicians, keeping them up-to-date on recov-ery and alerting them to potential health concerns.

As home health agencies coordinate a plan of care with your physician, there are dozens of administrative and operational tasks that go on "behind the scenes" concerning scheduling and planning patient care. That's

where companies, like Axxess, a technology com-pany that integrates home health care software to pro-mote quality health care ser-vices, come in.

The Axxess software is a complete, end-to-end so-lution for home health care agencies to manage and efficiently run their busi-nesses. It allows an agency to deliver the best tools possible to their health care providers for excel-lence in patient care.

Most people don’t know that 80 percent of mountain-climbing acci-dents don’t occur on the way to the summit – they happen on the way down, says financial expert and extreme sports enthusiast David Rosell.

Although arriving at the top of the mountain is con-sidered by many moun-taineers to be one of life’s greatest accomplishments, I can tell you firsthand that summiting is not the ulti-mate goal for climbers,” says Rosell, CEO of Rosell Wealth Management and author of “Failure is NOT an Option,” (www.Davi-dRosell.com).

“They know that most climbing accidents and deaths occur on the de-scent. With this in mind, they will tell you that their objective is to reach the summit and get back down alive to see their family and friends. They under-stand that the second half of their journey presents

the greatest risk and re-quires the most planning.”

“Likewise, we need to think of retirement as the descent from the financial mountain, which can be treacherous.”

Retirees and pre-retir-ees need to evolve from the traditional view of retire-ment, especially with so much legitimate concern about an unprecedented re-tirement crisis on our im-mediate horizon, he says. According to a 2013 report by the National Institute on Retirement Security, 45 percent of working-age American households have no retirement savings.

That’s on top of the 3.5 million baby boomers who have been retiring each year, and will continue to do so for more than a decade.

To help his clients thrive while experiencing de-scending their own financial mountains, Rosell briefly touches upon five major fi-nancial risks many experi-ence during retirement.

• Inflation: During the second half of your finan-cial journey, it’s critical that you’re able to main-tain your purchasing pow-er. Inflation simply means that every year your mon-ey buys a little – or a lot – less than it did the year before. Currently, infla-tion is 3.5 percent, which doesn’t sound like much. However, even if the rate holds steady and doesn’t increase, prices will have doubled in 20 years.

• Longevity: Accord-ing to U.S. Census Bureau figures, the over-80 popu-lation is increasing five times faster than the over-all population. By 2030, the demographics of 32 states will resemble those of Florida today. With more golden years to play, you’ll want the funding to make them fun!

• Health/long-term care: Sadly, the escalating costs associated with long-term care during retirement can RETIREMENT, See page 10B

Should older Workers Have to Pay More for Their Pensions?

By Lisa McElroyYou’ve undoubtedly

heard the advice again and again: If you are close to retirement age, you should max out your contributions to employer-sponsored re-tirement plans.

But requiring older employees to contribute more than younger ones to a pension fund is another matter entirely, a federal appeals court in Baltimore held last week. “Certain older Baltimore County employees were forced to pay more for their pen-sions than younger co-workers,” David Lopez, the general counsel of the Equal Employment Op-portunity Commission, said in a statement. “That’s age discrimination, plain and simple.”

The EEOC brought the case on behalf of two cor-rections officers (ages 51 and 64) and others in the same situation. Counting from the officers’ initial complaint to the EEOC,

the case has dragged out more than 15 years.

The decision stemmed from a policy the county put in place in 1945. It required older workers to contribute more to the county’s pension fund than younger workers, even if they were not planning to retire at the set retirement age. In 2007, the county changed the policy to re-quire all workers to con-tribute the same amount, regardless of age.

The county argued that employees could receive a pension on retirement starting at age 65, even if they had only been county employees for a short time. Therefore, it said, older workers should pay more to make up for the fact that their contributions would earn less interest over a shorter time than those of younger workers. The court rejected this argument, saying that the county’s WORKERS, See page 12A

Fight Back against Spring allergies

Super Busy? Sneak Fitness Into Your Day

Springtime brings warmer weather, out-door family fun, BBQs, ballgames, and for many Americans, the start of al-lergy season. While mak-ing plan for outdoor ac-tivities this spring, keep in mind that each year, Dallas ranks high on the list of top 100 Allergy Capitals.

Dr. Travis Stork, ER phy-sician and host of the Emmy Award-winning talk show The Doctors, has partnered with Church & Dwight Co. Inc., the maker of Arm & Hammer Simply Saline na-sal mists, to share his top five tips to ring in spring for a healthy and congestion-free spring season.Keep it simple and natural

The overuse of over-the-counter nasal decon-gestants can actually cause your congestion to return much worse than when it first appeared. Using prod-ucts that are drug-free and derived from natural ingre-dients can help.

“A product like Arm & Hammer Simply Saline Nasal Mist can be extreme-ly effective in clearing na-sal congestion, without side effects,” Stork said.Know when to work out

Staying active and exer-cising for at least 30 min-utes a day is a great way to fight off illness, but for allergy sufferers, be sure to plan workouts accordingly. Pollen counts are highest in the morning, so it’s best to plan to work out during

a time of day when pollen levels are a bit lower.allergy-proof the house

Allergens exist indoors and outdoors, so take steps to make your home aller-gy-proof. A simple way to keep allergens at bay is to wipe your feet and take off your shoes when enter-ing the home. You can also prevent mold by keeping the indoor air dry with a dehumidifier and remove allergens by cleaning the

By Alana ShakurThe hustle and bustle of

today’s society often leave us moving from one activi-ty to another in a quickened pace, causing us to neglect proper eating, sleeping and fitness habits. When we choose to neglect health maintenance, the body can experience imbalances and leave you functioning more slowly, making you more accessible to sickness.

The American Heart As-sociation now recommends that everyone have at least 150 minutes of physical ac-tivity weekly to stay fit and healthy, but sometimes it can be difficult to get that rigorous activity in while on the move.

If you are a busy bee look-ing to remain healthy, check out some of these simple tips on how to remain active with a busy lifestyle.Keep athletic shoes with you.

Placing a pair of good walking or running shoes in your work bag or at your desk at work is a great way

to encourage being ac-tive on your lunch break. Instead of sitting with co-workers during lunch, choose to take a walk out-side around the building to get your blood pumping. If your company has a fitness center, you can also choose to get a light workout in be-fore returning to your work.Wear ankle weights.

Ankle weights assist in toning up the legs and get-ting the heart rate up with every step you take. If your career involves a lot

of walking back and forth, place a light to medium weight around your ankles and make sure you take full strides while keeping your back straight to prac-tice using proper posture.Take the stairs.

Taking the stairs to floors in your building that aren’t too high up pro-vides a cardio workout to help get the heart pumping and the blood flowing into the body. As you use the stairs, make sure to engage every muscle in the legs. For an extra workout, take the stairs two at a time!use public transporta-tion when possible.

Using the bus or the train when possible will encour-age the use of the greatest vehicle there is: your own two feet! Walking from one destination to another will give you a reason to get your legs and feet moving to become a healthier you. Not to mention, walking at a quickened pace helps keep the heart healthy.

Sleep apnea May Be Linked to Poor

Bone HealthBy Robert Preidt

People with sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder, may be at increased risk for the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis, especially women and older people, a new study suggests.

Sleep apnea causes re-peated, brief interruptions in breathing during sleep. Untreated sleep apnea can increase a person’s risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

“Ongoing sleep disrup-tions caused by obstruc-tive sleep apnea can harm many of the body’s sys-tems, including the skele-tal system,” said study co-author Dr. Kai-Jen Tien, of Chi Mei Medical Center in Tainan, Taiwan.

“When sleep apnea periodically deprives the body of oxygen, it can weaken bones and raise the risk of osteoporosis,” Tien said. “The progressive condition can lead to bone fractures, increased medi-cal costs, reduced quality of life and even death.”

For the study, published April 15 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, researchers

‘Heartbleed’ Computer Bug Threat Spreads To Firewalls And BeyondBOSTON - Hackers

could crack email systems, security firewalls and possi-bly mobile phones through

the “Heartbleed” computer bug, according to security experts who warned that the risks extended beyond

just Internet Web servers.The widespread bug sur-

faced when it was disclosed that a pernicious flaw in a widely used Web encryp-tion program known as OpenSSL opened hundreds of thousands of websites to data theft. Developers rushed out patches to fix affected web servers when they disclosed the problem, which affected companies from Amazon.com Inc and Google Inc to Yahoo Inc.

Yet pieces of vulner-able OpenSSL code can be found inside plenty of oth-er places, including email servers, ordinary PCs, phones and even security products such as firewalls. Developers of those prod-ucts are scrambling to fig-ure out whether they are vulnerable and patch them to keep their users safe.

“I am waiting for a patch,” said Jeff Moss, a security adviser to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and founder of the Def Con hacking confer-ence. Def Con’s network uses an enterprise firewall from McAfee, which is owned by Intel Corp’s se-curity division.

He said he was frustrated because people had figured out that his email and Web traffic is vulnerable and posted about it on the Inter-net - but he can’t take steps to remedy the problem until Intel releases a patch.

The Heartbleed vulner-ability went undetected for about two years and can be exploited without leaving a trace, so experts and con-sumers fear attackers may have compromised large numbers of networks with-out their knowledge.

Google explains exactly How it reads All your email

By Alexei OreskovicSAN FRANCISCO -

Google Inc updated its terms of service informing users that their incoming and out-going emails are automati-cally analyzed by software to create targeted ads.

The revisions more ex-plicitly spell out the man-ner in which Google soft-ware scans users' emails, both when messages are stored on Google's servers and when they are in tran-sit, a controversial practice that has been at the heart of litigation.

Last month, a U.S. judge decided not to com-bine several lawsuits that accused Google of violat-ing the privacy rights of hundreds of millions of email users into a single class action.

Users of Google's Gmail email service have accused the company of violating federal and state privacy

and wiretapping laws by scanning their messages so it could compile secret pro-files and target advertising. Google has argued that us-ers implicitly consented to its activity, recognizing it as part of the email deliv-ery process.

Google's updated terms of service added a para-graph stating that "our au-tomated systems analyze

your content (including emails) to provide you per-sonally relevant product features, such as custom-ized search results, tailored advertising, and spam and malware detection. This analysis occurs as the con-tent is sent, received, and when it is stored."

Drowning is the second highest vause of accidental death among African-American children — but this new invention will save lives.

San Diego, CA — A typical story played over and over again in African-American families all over the country, which in-volves the drowning of Af-rican-American children, yet it goes un-noticed, and under-reported. It may be a swimming pool, a lake, a river or the ocean, all too often, are places of no return for a disproportion-ate number of African-American children. The following story is true, however, at least partially typical. The bad news is, that this story ends in the death, and destruction of a typical African-American family. The good news is, that a possible remedy was born out of this trag-edy. This tragic beginning led to the birth of the Al-fred Jones Anti-Distress Device (AJADD) U.S Pat-ent # 8,659,435 B2 issued Feb. 24, 2014, the first true swim safety system.

In the fall of 2009 there was a swimming party for children which was given by a middle-class African-American family with two children, that were using their home as a fun house for children of various eco-nomic backgrounds. One of the children, named Al-bert who was 7 years old, came from Los Angeles to San Diego, with his two sisters all under the age of 14, were brought by the

Sister-in-law of the home-owners. The sister-in-law’s name was Muriel, Albert’s teacher. During the party, the children were having great fun, playing water games, diving, and having fun with water toys.

Muriel who was also a professional lifeguard kept a somewhat watchful eye on the pool along with a designated parent on duty to make sure that the ut-most safety was observed. The party was held at the home of George and Wen-dy McKinney who were the homeowners. During the party, the kids were playing dead man float, and as fate would have it, Albert got in trouble, yet no one notice, and before anyone caught on, Albert was at the bottom of the pool. Once discovered, Wendy, and her 9 year old son Tyler, along with Mu-

riel immediately dove to the bottom of the pool, and brought Albert to the pools edge, began to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscita-tion (CPR), as one of the parents called 911.

The fire department was only a mile from their home and the paramedics were there in minutes. The paramedics rushed Albert to the hospital. George and Muriel left from the home devastated with a friend, and fellow parent named Barbara, who drove them to the hospital. When they got there, they were greeted by a member of the hospi-tal staff who whisked them off to a special room. They were all asked to sit down, and designated hospital staff began to tell them how their medical team had tried desperately to save Albert, but, “he was gone.”

BGR gave the public what appears to be the first leaked images of the ever illusive phone that Ama-zon is supposedly making. If the photos are legit, this much-anticipated gadget will sport not one, not two, but six cameras that may be used to produce 3-D images.

The online retail giant, which has been getting its fingers into all sorts of hardware lately, hasn't announced the specu-lated Android device yet. But there have been ru-mors circulating about the phone for quite some time -- much of it credible. The Wall Street Journal report-ed last week that the phone would begin shipping by

the end of September and that it will have a screen capable of displaying 3-D images without glasses.

To that end, the phone prominently features six cameras -- one rear-facing, one front-facing "selfie" camera and four others on the front of the phone -- that seem to support the 3-D rumors. According to BGR, those four extrane-ous cameras will serve to

track the user's face and eyes to make adjustments to the screen in real time, so that the 4.7-inch screen can give its owner a 3-D image without those dwee-by movie-theater glasses.

For those concerned by recent reports about Apple raising the price of the iPhone 6 by $100, BGR re-ports that Amazon's phone will likely be lower-cost.

By Dino GrandoniEnjoy chatting with

your Facebook friends on your phone? Well if you'd like to continue to do so, you'll soon be forced to download an entirely sepa-rate app from Facebook's current one.

Yes, it's true: Facebook is planning to disable mes-saging in its main apps for the iPhone and Google's Android and demand its users download Facebook Messenger, an app dedi-cated solely to chatting with friends.

"We are starting to no-tify people this week and will be rolling this out on Android and [Apple's] iOS to a handful of coun-tries over the next couple of weeks," a Facebook spokesperson wrote. (The company notified some European users that soon they will be unable to mes-sage with the main Face-book app.)

Facebook claims split-ting off its messaging ser-vice benefits customers, since people get messages 20 percent faster on a dedi-cated messaging app. And Messenger, introduced in November, already ranks

among the top free iOS and Android apps.

Even if you prefer Snapchat, iMessage or anything else not owned by Facebook, you're pret-ty much compelled to use Facebook's messaging ser-vice since so many of your friends use it too. Face-book knows this, and it is leveraging its stranglehold on your social life to draw you deeper and deeper into its orbit, all to show you more ads.

The move is just the latest by Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, to dominate your smartphone

screen. And while it's had little success beyond Mes-senger in developing its own apps -- perhaps best symbolized by Poke, the company's unsuccessful Snapchat clone -- the com-pany has made its self an acquiring machine with the purchases of WhatsApp this year and Instagram in 2012.

Your phone's home screen only fits a finite number of icons. If yet an-other one of them is owned by Facebook, that's all the more time you'll spend un-der its umbrella.

Women Get unequal Pay for equal Work

Beyond the Rhetoric:no, This is not a

Racial discrimination does exist in this world but certainly not at the level it did prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It has been waning but sometimes it will lift its “ugly head”. Whenever that happens it should be snuffed out quick-ly and firmly. As one proud Jamaican member of the National Black Chamber of Commerce commented to me about the subject, “Show me that I am late; my price is too high, my product is unsafe. Don’t you ever say no because of the color of my skin, for I will fight you with every breath of my life.” That is wise advice and we must be certain not to shrug off pressure or rebuke by say-ing, “It’s because I am Black.” So when we hear people say that our Presi-dent or Attorney General is being criticized because they are Black, we should check them. Heck, the fact of the matter they are where they are because of the tim-ing and the fact that they are Black – at least consid-ered Black.

The fact is, as a whole, our nation is in a very criti-cal state of uneasiness. It is pure chaos right now. We don’t look assuring to our allies and our enemies are smiling at our apparent weakness. Yes, right now we are in a giant cesspool of deceit, timidity, corrup-tion and cowardice. Great nations don’t act like this and it has nothing to do

When John and Ann started working on Janu-ary 1, 2013, John had an immediate advantage. Be-cause women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn, it took Ann until April 11, 2014 to earn the same amount of money that John earned in the calendar year of 2013.

The issue of unequal pay is so important that President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act 50 years ago. While we have come a long way, baby, the pay gap has remained stub-born. This is why Presi-dent Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Restora-tion Act as soon as he as-sumed office.

This year, to commem-orate National Equal Pay Day (that’s the day Ann finally earns as much as John), the president signed an Executive Order pro-tecting workers from retal-iation when they speak of unequal pay in the work-place (one of the ways employers can maintain unequal pay is to make discussing pay grounds for firing). The president, through the Secretary of Labor, is also requir-ing federal contractors to provide data on pay, race, and gender to ensure that employers are fairly paid. Furthermore, the Senate is considering the Paycheck

When I first heard the news, my response was one of both outrage and a calm lack of surprise. I knew that there was a very real chance that the Supreme Court, in its McCutcheon v Federal Election Com-mission decision, would make it even more difficult to have limits on campaign spending. I suppose that I did not want to believe it. Thus, when the decision was issued, I found myself both resigned and furious at the same time.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s majority has made a mockery of right-wing allegations that it is liber-als who have been engaged in so-called judicial activ-ism. The conservative majority of the Supreme Court has gone out of its way to ensure the political supremacy of what the Oc-cupy Movement called the 1 percent – the plutocrats.

There have been dis-cussions ever since the Supreme Court’s notorious decision in the Citizens United case that there is need for a Constitutional amendment that addresses campaign finance. We now have an even more urgent need for such an

Major League Base-ball’s home run king, Hen-ry Louis “Hank” Aaron has just knocked another one out of the park. But this time, Aaron wasn’t on a baseball diamond. Aaron stood up boldly on the na-tional stage and blasted a political homerun against Republicans who have made a sport of attacking President Obama.

In a recent interview with USA Today, Aaron, now 80 years old, said, “Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black presi-dent, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated……. The big-ger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”

The occasion was Aar-on’s 40 anniversary of breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record on April 8, 1974 with his 715th home run.

In the aftermath of Aaron’s comparison of Republican opponents of President Obama to the Ku Klux Klan, there was a fire-storm of criticisms aimed at Aaron, particularly in social media. Some baseball fans who preferred to retain a safe image of Aaron socking one into the stands and nev-

er revealing that deep down inside, he’s a man’s man.

Criticism over his use of the KKK analogy is nothing compared to what Aaron went through while chasing Ruth’s record.

“I was being thrown to the wolves. Even though I did something great, no-body wanted to be a part of it. I was so isolated. I couldn’t share it,” Aaron said. “For many years, even after Jackie Robinson, baseball was so segregated, really. You just didn’t ex-pect us to have a chance to do anything. Baseball was meant for the lily-white. Now, here’s a record that nobody thought would be broken, and, all of a sudden, who breaks it but a black person [Bobby Bonds].”

But instead of been cheered, Hank Aaron, the ultimate gentleman, was re-ceiving hate mail and death threats on a daily basis.

A reporter asked Aar-on why he kept copies of hostile letters that he had received four decades ear-lier. He replied, “To re-mind me of the past and the present.” One letter that he received in the past read, “You are not going to break this record estab-lished by the great Babe Ruth if I can help it……. Whites are far more supe-rior than jungle bunnies.

My gun is watching your every black move.”

Other letters expressed similar views.

“It wasn’t just the thou-sands of hate letters and death threats. He could handle those,” teammate Dusty Baker recalled. “It was the isolation. He couldn’t even stay in the same hotel as his team-mates. His name was list-ed in one room, and he checked into another. Con-stantly, he had a security guard at his side.”

Baker also said, “Hank never showed his fear, but we did. I remember one day we were told that there was going to be this guy in a red coat that was going to shoot Hank in Atlanta. Hank told us not to sit by him on the bench. Me and Ralph (Garr) couldn’t con-centrate one game. We kept looking for the guy in the red coat the whole game. Hank acted like it didn’t bother him, but I know there was a lot of pain.”

amendment in light of the court’s further opening of the gates to super-money.

So, what do we do?The first and most im-

mediate step must be the formation of a very broad coalition to take ini-tial steps towards secur-ing such a Constitutional amendment. This coalition needs to make the midterm 2014 elections about the super-rich and money in elections. In that sense, candidates need to be run-ning against the Supreme Court. Progressive can-didates need to make the McCutcheon decision their battle-cry and use it to demonstrate the extent to which the 1 percent is moving at breakneck pace to derail any pretense of democracy. And they must commit to fighting for a Constitutional amendment to remove corruption from the electoral process.

The McCutcheon deci-sion must be understood in tandem with the voter suppression efforts that we have been witnessing over the past eight years. These are steps that are being tak-en to hold back the future, that is, to deflate the power of the growing majority in

the U.S.A. that is seeking broad and significant social and economic changes. To the extent to which people of color, youth, seniors, veterans, and others are blocked from voting and to the extent to which the faucets are opened for the super-rich to contribute in-ordinate amounts of money to the candidates that they now own, elections lose any meaning other than being a veneer over a very clever dictatorship of wealth.

The time has come to refocus the November elections on what is really at stake: the greed and av-arice that now feels com-pletely comfortable show-ing its face in public.

Fairness Act, which may pass the Senate, but not the House of Representatives.

We know all about John and Ann, but what about Tamika? If women earn 77 percent of what men earn, what about Af-rican American women? Women surely have come a long way, but some are moving far more slowly than others. How many African American women are there in the Senate? Among Fortune 500 lead-ers? In other positions of power? What about pay? African American women earn about three quarters of what other women earn, meaning that if it takes Ann until April 11 to catch up with John, It will take Tamika until about June 1 – about another six weeks – to catch up. Tamika earns in 18 months what John earns in 12 months.

Even African American women with the highest levels of education expe-rience these differences. White men with a post-graduate degree earn a median salary of $1,666 a week African American women earn a median sal-ary of $1,000 during the same time period. For all the talk of pay equity and paycheck fairness, the sta-tus of African American women is largely ignored.

It wouldn’t take much

for the president, or some of those feminist groups who support paycheck fair-ness to throw in a line or two about African Ameri-can women. Nor would it hurt African American organizations, especially those who serve Black women, to point out this in-justice. Are African Amer-ican women invisible? Don’t we count? African American women raise the majority of our children, and shoulder many of the challenges in the African American community. Ig-noring us in a conversation about unequal pay simply marginalizes our experi-ences and us.

The focus on “overall” data is yet another way of marginalizing not only Af-rican American women, but other people of color well. Reporting aggregate data gives some notion of economic progress. Re-porting specific data about African American women and men makes it clear, for example, that African Americans experience de-pression-level unemploy-ment rates.

with “Black”. My people it is time to get a grip on the realities at hand. “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Let me note some examples.

We have had a non-accountable State Depart-ment. I hope Secretary John Kerry can turn it around. Can you believe that this major agency had been operating without an Inspector General for five years? What does that mean? The IG is respon-sible for oversight and ac-countability. During the absence of an IG the State Department cannot ac-count for over $6 billion in procurement. Who got paid for what? Did they actually do the work? Was strict procurement law fol-lowed? They don’t know. Many of the files are lost and some have been pil-fered. Where is the investi-gation and who is going to jail? The five Mafia fami-lies of New York could not have been more corrupt.

Oh yes, the State depart-ment is still playing dumb about the Benghazi attack which is now a scandal. Oh, how they lied on all of the Sunday news channels about it – like we weren’t going to find out. Four of our people were murdered by Al Qaida linked per-sons and we won’t even arrest them for trial. They fear what will come out in court. So they stall and stall and stall. Justice is not served.

The same goes with Homeland Security. The “Fast and Furious” disas-ter put hundreds of illegal weapons onto the streets. We lost a border patrol of-ficer and hundreds of Mex-ican citizens and they stall and stall and stall. Justice is not served.

The National Secu-rity Agency (NSA) in its sweeping/wiring of tele-phone and email commu-nications is an ongoing disaster. Recently, we find that the USAID agency ran a covert operation in Cuba. The mission of the USAID is: “Our Mission: We part-ner to end extreme poverty and to promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity.” Not anymore! They took 500,000 cell phone numbers of Cuban citizens (from NSA) and began spamming them on a cooked up Twitter ac-count covertly placed in Spain. Money was fun-neled through the Cay-man Islands. The intent was to provoke discontent among Cuban citizens against their government. Sounds a little bit like the Arab Spring affair which backfired tremendously on us. Syria, Egypt, Libya are probably lost to democra-cy because of our botched

JUSTICEFrom page 1A representatives from other social justice organizations. They also provide via their monthly meet-ings an important resource for networking and collaboration among social justice organizers.

The fundraiser will feature as its keynote speaker actor and activist Martin Sheen, best known for his roles in movies like “Badlands” and “Apoca-lypse Now,” and as President Josiah Bartlett on the TV show “The West Wing.”

The festivities will include a gourmet buffet lunch and a live and silent auction featuring such unique items as a ride-along with Oxnard Police Chief Jeri Williams and a tour and lunch with California State University Channel Islands President Dr. Richard Rush.

“Currents of Change” is an annual event and one of the or-ganization’s primary fundrais-ers. Now in its fifth year, the name points toward the fund’s mission, which according to Small is to see “a change in solving social justice problems in the community.”

While Small doesn’t con-sider her organization to be po-litical in the direct sense, she does think that the Social Justice Fund has an overall political and social impact. “We stand up for areas that we think are not right, especially related to such things as access to education,” she said.

Small believes that if anyone has an interest in social justice, the Social Justice Fund provides many ways to get involved in community activism. “It’s a good opportunity for people who are interested and want to be involved in making positive changes in the community,” she explained.

It is one of the largest donor-led funders for social justice programs as well as one of the largest social justice educators in the county.

The cost of the fundraiser is $75 per person. Sponsorships are also available starting at $250. Reservations can be made through their website at http://www.socialjusticefundvc.org.

WILLIAMSFrom page 1Ato the dire needs of these children and to inform the public about the reality of child abuse. “We want to inspire people to step out of their comfort zones and do something about it,” she said. “We want to hold social work-ers and judges accountable when they continually reunify abused children with their abusers.”

The Children’s Wall of Tears was recently featured on Satur-day, March 29 as part of the first annual Celebrating Children’s Day at Plaza Park in Oxnard. “Because we focus on the ef-fects of child cruelty and child death,” said LeMond-Alvarez, “we decided to have a very posi-tive event to kick off child abuse month.”

The gathering drew five-hundred people and was sup-ported by Oxnard Police Chief Jeri Williams, one of the keynote speakers, and Commander Eric Sonstegard, who helped pro-vide patrol support and pointed them toward the K9 unit and the DRAGGS (Drag Racers Against Gangs and Graffiti).

The support from Williams, Sonstegard, and their fellow po-lice greatly impressed NAACC board member Pauline Daerr. “I called him and he suggested the K9 unit and also the DRAGGS,” she said. “So he gave me the contact numbers for them and they were there the whole four hours. It was amazing.”

LeMond-Alvarez, a retired officer with the Oxnard Police Department, thinks it’s impor-tant to recognize the role of the police in the fight against child abuse. “Police officers see child cruelty every day and it takes a toll on them,” she noted. “It was wonderful seeing the officers mingling with the children at our event.”

To show their appreciation, LeMond-Alvarez and Daerr met Williams on Wednesday, April 16 at the Oxnard Police Depart-ment and presented both her and the K9 unit with separate cer-tificates of appreciation. “We do appreciate the time the Oxnard police department spent there,” said Daerr. “It was a four-hour event and we had police protec-tion the whole time.”

“We’re just very thankful for the generous participation of the department,” said LeMond-Alvarez. “There were no ques-tions. They were right on it. They wanted to be part of our event.”

Chief Williams thanked Le-Mond-Alvarez and Daerr and was quick to give credit to mem-bers of her department, particu-larly the family protection unit, for their participation and ser-vice. “I accept this on behalf of my agency,” said Williams. “I can’t do my job without all their great help, especially the work of the family protection unit.

They are some of the most com-mitted, amazing, professional, conscientious human beings I have ever met.”

LeMond-Alvarez hopes that the wall of tears and the interest it generates will raise the com-munity’s awareness about the prevalence of child abuse and ne-glect. “It was a resource event for the community,” she said, “to let them know where they could go if they had problems, and it was also to celebrate the first annual Children’s Day in Oxnard.”

SUCCESSFULFrom page 2Ait. It’s having a target and the shot is your actions towards that target.

They know exactly what they want out of life, where they want to be and what their purpose is. They are constantly doing, and their actions speak louder than their words - and if they are chasing something, there is nothing that will stop them.

unsuccessful people fear change: They think that what they are doing right now will never change and they are con-tent with where they are in their lives. As long as they have the bare minimum of their basic needs, they are okay with it and don’t really change their lives much because they are afraid to lose that consistency.

Successful people love in-novation and change: They are always thinking about what is next, not what is going on right now. They welcome risks into their lives and are okay with sacrifice and risking it all for the greater good of their goal. They understand change is what brought humanity to its current advanced state, so they are al-ways looking for it.

We are all born and we all will die. It’s what we do with our time in between that makes us special. It’s the habits, actions and beliefs that separate us - not anything else.

PERSONFrom page 2A

It is such a shame how find-ing dependable people has be-come such a rare find. It feels good to know that when a per-son says they are going to do something, it just gets done and with excellence. You don’t have to wonder or worry. You don’t have to follow up. The person just does it. You know that you can count on them, which gives you a sense of security and also builds trust. We all love it when we have people like that in our lives. Those types of people make life more pleasant and simply make the world a better place.

The fact of the matter is we can all be that type of person. It is a matter of choice. No more empty promises. No saying things just because it sounds good. Let’s each say what we mean, in a kind way. Let the people you engage with see a side of you that looks great not matter what circle you may be in. Be a person of your word!

ABUSESFrom page 3Aheard testimony indicating many of the challenges facing the Bureau can be tracked to delays in spending authority, in-adequate staffing resources and expertise, and an inability to pri-oritize cases and establish clear and workable procedures.

“Given the large amounts of public money these private and for-profit institutions re-ceive through financial aid and veteran’s education programs, a strong oversight structure is necessary to ensure account-ability in spending taxpayer dollars,” said Assemblymember Williams.

The primary goal of the hearing was to identify the statutory changes necessary to ensure regulation of schools that promotes student success and supports quality innovative programs, while also prevent-ing predatory practices. Of the 26 recommendations raised in the hearing background report, committee members expressed strong interest in reestablishing the Bureau as a public board, increasing staffing and resource expenditure authority, and re-quiring degree-granting institu-tions to obtain accreditation.

JACKSONFrom page 6Ahelps solve the statewide chal-lenges created by unused pre-scription drugs.”

A response to the growing problem of prescription drug abuse, accidental poisonings, and traces of pharmaceuticals found in drinking water, Senate Bill 1014, as it was introduced in January, would have required drug manufacturers to create, finance and manage a statewide system for collecting and safely disposing of unwanted prescrip-tion drugs that people have in their homes.

The bill was modeled after an Alameda County ordinance that was the first of its kind in the country. SB 1014 had the support of more than 100 local government and environmental groups, but faced stiff opposi-tion from the pharmaceutical industry.

GORELLFrom page 6Acovered by the Whistleblower Protection Act, those rights are protected by the State Personnel Board, an agency which has no authority over legislative staff. The bill establishes a clear pro-cess in which legislative staff can bring allegations of im-proper acts to the Committee on Rules of the Assembly or Senate for investigation.

The language of the whistle-blower protection bill will be amended into AB 2065.

HARRISFrom page 6Aarrested in Jonesboro Arkansas by the Independence County Sheriff’s Department, Jones-boro Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administra-tion on February 13, 2014 and charged with one count of felo-ny possession with intent to dis-tribute methamphetamine. Both are currently being held without bail at the Craighead County Jail and are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

In the summer of 2013, agents with a California Depart-ment of Justice task force in the Central Valley initiated an in-vestigation into Jose Magana for suspected marijuana trafficking. Further investigation revealed that Magana and members of his organization were trafficking narcotics including methamphet-amine and cocaine from Mexico through the Central Valley of Cal-ifornia to be sold as far away as Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania. Agents also discovered that Magana and his organization were supplying narcotics to a Nuestra Familia-affiliated street gang operating in Kings County.

The announcement of these arrests and seizure was delayed due to the ongoing nature of this investigation.

HOLDERFrom page 7A

“And that’s essentially what I was decrying, the fact that we can’t somehow separate whatever our personal feelings

are and focus on our functions as members of the executive branch or as legislators. I think that I’ve done a pretty good job in doing that, but it’s frustrating at times,” Holder said.

Holder also noted that he hadn’t planned to mock Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) dur-ing his appearance last Tues-day before the House Judiciary Committee, but said Gohmert’s strange “asparagus” remark last spring “sort of stuck” in his mind.

NYPDFrom page 7Aaccording to The Daily News. “It is imperative that the De-partment of Justice send a clear signal that the lives of black and brown minority men matter.”

Graham’s family and mem-bers of the New York City Council held a press confer-ence outside Manhattan Federal Court to call on the DOJ. “Ra-marley should be here today, but instead I spent his 21st birth-day at the cemetery,” Graham’s mother, Constance Malcolm, told reporters.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in August that his office would review Ra-marley’s death for civil rights violations. According to the Daily News, that review is still ongoing.

The Department of Justice said last August it would review the case.

Custom-designed, built-in furniture that’s meant for a specific piece of technology such as a computer or a TV can limit your home and its appeal. During the period in which the TV actually fits in the built-in cabinet, it may have mass ap-peal. However, because we are in rapidly changing technologi-cal times, the danger is that your beautiful custom built-in furni-ture may not fit future TVs.

Keep your decorating and remodeling to timeless styles and you’ll increase your home’s mass appeal among buyers.

The California Legislature is currently debating SB 391, the California Homes and Jobs Act. This legislation would provide a dedicated source of state funding for affordable home production. As the costs of housing keep increasing for most California households, SB 391 would help to make more affordable hous-ing available and help alleviate the high costs of housing.

ADVISORFrom page 8A

Finley identifies your best allies -- and the voices that do not have your best interests at heart – when it comes to money management:

Do trust:• Your No. 1 advocate – you:

The best thing you can do right now is to educate yourself so you can make sound financial decisions. A great start is to embrace the concept of paying yourself: Put away at least 20 percent of your income for your future, which requires a lifestyle of living below your means.

• Real teachers -- Most peo-ple want something from you, but some truly want to give. Look for classes at local col-leges; workshops sponsored by nonprofit organizations, and even websites geared to im-

proving your money decisions, including SaveandInvest.org, MrMoneyMustache.com and JaneBryantQuinn.com.

Beware:• Most financial advisors

-- Most financial advisors, es-pecially those employed by massive, nationwide firms, are trying to sell prepackaged finan-cial products.

• Advertisements -- Adver-tisers are not just selling prod-ucts – they’re trying to sell happiness. Learn to view adver-tising messages with a discrimi-nating eye so that you purchase what you truly need – not what they tell you to need.

Beginning in 1973, county employees could retire after 30 years of service, even if they were not yet 65. But according to the court, “at no time were the contribution rates adjusted to take account of the early-retire-ment option.”

Hollywood, CA — Marcus Garvey is alive and well. At least the fea-ture film is. The film which has seen its way through production company to production company will settle with IDK produc-tions which will produce and submit the film to all the usual suspects of film festivals in the hopes of being acquired by a dis-tributor or studio.

Garvey will be played by model and relative new comer to the acting world Kevin Navayne.

Navayne who himself is Jamaican will have to lose those model good lucks as he will be re-quired to gain approxi-mately 65lbs while grow-ing a beard and mustache to his usual clean cut face.

The film will focus on the rise and fall of the leg-endary civil rights leader. Pre-production is slated to begin in fall of 2014.

NEW YORK — Law-yers say Harry Belafonte will retain possession of historical documents he ac-quired during his friendship with Martin Luther King Jr.

Belafonte and the King estate said they have set-tled a lawsuit.

The singer had sued the estate in Manhattan federal court in October to estab-lish rights to the docu-ments. They include an outline of a Vietnam War speech by King and notes for a speech he never got to deliver in Memphis, Tenn.

There also is a condo-lence letter from Presi-dent Lyndon B. Johnson to

King's wife after the civil rights leader's 1968 assas-sination.

The lawsuit had alleged

that Belafonte was prepar-ing to auction the items in 2008 when the estate "as-tonishingly" blocked it.

By Kory GrowA museum honoring the

musical and cultural contri-butions of artists from Otis Redding to Marvin Gaye is set to be built in Nash-ville. The planned National Museum of African Ameri-can Music will also honor black musicians who were local to Music City—Frank Howard, Jimmy Church and Marion James—given Nashville 's long history of music outside of country. Construction could begin as early as next year, ac-cording to The Associated Press, as it is part of the re-development of the site of the old Nashville Conven-tion Center downtown.

The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce created a task force in 2000 to study the idea of honoring black musi-cians, but development on

the museum was not im-mediate. The project had a budgetary goal of more than $43 million, but that was later reduced when the city made the Convention Center available. The city committed $10 million to the project in 2006, and Mayor Karl Dean has said that the offer is still good. "I believe there is strong

interest and demand for this type of museum, and the planned location is in a vibrant section of our downtown," he said.

The museum's goal is now $25 million, and its President and CEO H. Beecher Hicks told The Tennessean that it is about two-thirds of the way to that goal. He said that it was not necessary to achieve the full funding for the project for construction to commence.

In addition to serving as a tourism attraction, the mu-seum will honor Nashville's history of black music.

The museum has already started community pro-gramming including teach-ing Nashville schoolchil-dren about instruments like spoons, the washboard bass and the cigar-box guitar. It also has started an emerging artist concert series.

By Leigh Blickley It's over for Naya Ri-

vera and Big Sean. Big Sean's rep released

a statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 9, an-nouncing that the rapper has decided to call off his engagement to the "Glee" star.

"After careful thought and much consideration, Sean has made the dif-ficult decision to call the wedding off," his rep said. "The recent rumors and accusations reported by so called or fake sources are simply untrue. Sean wish-es Naya nothing but the best and it is still his hope that they can continue to work through their issues privately. We will not be commenting again on this matter."

Despite reports that Big Sean, 26, cheated on Ri-vera, 27, a source tells Us

"the allegations are 100% false and untrue" and that the "Beware" singer was the one who ended the re-lationship.

The couple announced their engagement in Octo-ber 2013 with Rivera tell-ing the Spring 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan Latinas that she thought Big Sean

would make "an amazing husband."

"He's so kind to people, but he also wears the pants in our relationship, which I love," she said. "We Latinas are very independent and strong, so it's even sweeter that I've found somebody who can let me out of that role for a minute."

Anthony Mackie’s lat-est role as “Sam ‘Falcon’ Wilson” in “Captain Amer-ica: The Winter Soldier” resulted in the superhero franchise soaring to the top of the box office last week-end setting a domestic record as April’s biggest release ever by grossing $96.2 million.

Beating out the previ-ous record, set by “Fast Five” in 2011, isn’t the only thing that Mackie is attempting to outpace. Ap-parently the New Orleans-native is also vying to maintain one of the longest

running romantic relation-ships with his girlfriend.

During an appearance

on the April 11 episode of the “Queen Latifah Show,” Mackie revealed that he and his “Falconette” have been dating “off and on” since they were 7-years-old.

“It was funny. I was coming from a very bad school and going to a very good school,” he said. “And when I walked into second grade it was Dr. Seuss Day, and we had the little hot plate out and the teacher was making green eggs and ham. So I walk in and I looked and I see this little girl with these ratty pigtails and skinny legs, and I was like ‘WOW!”

By Karu F. DanielsWith his new role as The

Sultan in Disney's Aladdin, Clifton Davis is back on Broadway after a very long spell. Ask the veteran enter-tainer why it took him more than 40 years to get back on the boards (since appearing in 1971's Two Gentlemen of Verona) and he'll take the opportunity to clarify his record; he starred in Lin-coln Center's production of Tom Stoppard's Hapgood, opposite Stockard Chan-ning in the mid-1990s.

"Actually, all along the way, I have been doing some theatre," the 1972 Tony Award nominee ex-plained. "I came back to New York in 94 and I was in Hapgood for six months. So I was back on Broadway, so to speak."

"Now granted, that's still 19 years ago but I am thrilled to be back," the debonair and eloquent thespian quipped.

In between his some-odd 20 year breaks from The Great White Way, Da-vis has ascended to soaring heights — composing the #1 R&B hit song 'Never Can Say Goodbye' for The Jackson 5 in the 1970s, and during the 1980s star-ring in 'Amen,' the NBC sitcom that netted an aver-age of 30+ million viewers weekly. The Chicago na-tive (raised in Long Island) also descended to crash-

ing lows — his womaniz-ing ways were well docu-mented in the media, and a career-derailing addiction to cocaine cost him almost everything. Since those days of decadence, Davis, who also starred in the 70s sitcom 'That's My Mama,' has survived triple bypass surgery, became heavily involved in religious en-deavors and restored his acting career — appearing in countless TV series and movies.

"Let's be real, during that period of time I ended up taking two and three and four steps backwards in my career and although I bounced back, I hurt my-self in a way that was irrep-arable," Davis confessed. "Thank God I repaired a whole lot of damage and put my life together and

redeveloped and redirect-ed myself with God's help, and I'm just grateful for life and opportunities."

In Aladdin, based on Disney's 1992 animated blockbuster, he takes on the role of Princess Jas-mine's father, the ruler of Agrabah. A far departure from the character in the movie, the role has been expanded quite a bit.

"I've seen the movie and of course in the movie The Sultan was sort of a non-entity," Davis explained. "I mean, he was a meek and mesmerized puppet leader and he was short and stub-by and white. So it was quite different. So I knew if they were entertaining the idea of using me for the role, it would be differ-ent. I only saw the sides, I didn't see the entire script until we finally started re-hearing and upon reading the script I was very, very happy that my charac-ter figured very strongly in the show and I think it gave me the opportunity to contribute to the piece by bringing just a little dignity and gravitas."

Davis can still be seen regularly on television too. Classic episodes of ‘That’s My Mama’ often airs on the TV One network. He’s also resumed his role as host of ‘Praise the Lord’ series on the Trinity Broad-casting Network.

Keynote speaker Qiana Charles, a Senior Community Liaison with Southern Califor-nia Edison in Rosemead, dem-onstrated skills in communicat-ing with a diverse demographic of women. Tapping into their potential as women, ranging in age from young to a beautiful 90 year old, Ms. Charles quickly had them standing to their feet aligning themselves not with ostriches, head buried in the sand, not peacocks, all beauty and very little else, but eagles.

Eagles soaring high above the mundane, focusing on others, like themselves to help, mentor and protect.

When asked about the Af-rican American Woman’s Lun-cheon organization, whose motto is “Coming Together, Be-ing Together”, Ms. Sims-Moten stated, “It actually isn’t an or-ganization, but it feels so much like that. I think sooner or later it will become a more formal organization, but for right now, it’s about four women putting this event together because we just want to help each other help others. This really started about three years ago as a pilot based on conversations I’ve had with other women in Santa Barbara

County, where we are less than two percent of the population. We felt somewhat disconnect-ed and isolated; so, there was something we needed to do to go about addressing that starting with a luncheon.

The first luncheon that we had was at Mosher Hall, a UCSB meeting facility. There were three or four women on the committee. We actually cooked our own food and did all sorts of things. It was quite successful. Then, the second year luncheon was a validation. Yes, we still continue to want this. We need this; we have fun when we are together connecting. However, some of the feedback was that we needed to network during the

luncheon.This time the third one was

really about validation and about “stepping out, and step-ping forward” in our communi-ties, about being more visible, most importantly to ourselves. Realizing that we are such a great resource and, if there are things that we want during this opportunity of getting together, then we need to be able to do that, because when we do that we form lasting bonds, we form alliances, we realize that there are more resources then we’d realized that are just around the corner.

Today was very evident of the resources that we have. We had people put things on a board

that talked about services that they offer and the things that they do. I’m sure there were a lot of women surprised “oh, a massage therapist, a person who walks the dog or who sings, someone who tutors”, women who do all sorts of things that. Because we don’t get together, we don’t know that. So, even when on those long nights when I’m sitting up wondering what to do or is this is the right thing to say do, I know that in the end it’s the right thing to do. I see it on these faces of these women, I hear it in the conversations, I hear them enjoying laughter with their voices. And, just as our key speaker noted spoke about today, it’s important for us

as women to support our young girls that are coming up.

When asked about the key-note speaker’s eagle analogy Sims-Moten said, “Yes, eagles soar and they rise above, they fly really high in the sky. You see them every now and then and say, “Ooh”! She really brought that home. When I see an eagle, I’ll remember that conversation and where I was, with my other sisters. And now they’ll know “Eagle sisters going on. African American eagle sisters is a good theme. A theme that plants seeds when you come and interact with other people. Many others will talk about what we need to do. Don’t be an “Ostrich, don’t

District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced that a federal bankruptcy court issued a key ruling in an action involving Body Shaping Gyms, Inc., formerly known as Gold's Gym in Oxnard ("Gold's Gym"). Gold's Gym filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on De-cember 16, 2013, after the District Attorney's Office filed a lawsuit in the Ventura County Superior Court al-leging that Gold's Gym has been violating unfair busi-ness practices and false advertising laws. On March 13, 2014, the District Attorney's Office, on behalf of the People of the State of California, filed a motion in bankruptcy court to request dismissal of the bankrupt-cy action or, in the alternative, appointment of a Chap-ter 11 Trustee to oversee the business operations of Gold's Gym. Yesterday, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robin L. Riblet granted the People's request to appoint a trustee after finding "abysmal business behavior" and "gross mismanagement" of Gold's Gym. The resulting order means that the U.S. Department of Justice will appoint a trustee who will be responsible for the man-agement and operation of the business and, if deemed appropriate, the filing of a plan of reorganization.

GM Waited Years to Recall 335,000 Saturn Ions for Power Steering Failures, Documents Show

Unsold 2006 Ions sit outside a Saturn dealership in the south Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch.

By Tom KrisherDETROIT — General

Motors waited years to recall nearly 335,000 Sat-urn Ions for power steer-ing failures despite getting thousands of consumer complaints and more than 30,000 warranty repair claims, according to gov-ernment documents re-leased Saturday.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-tration, the government’s auto safety watchdog, also didn’t seek a recall of the compact car from the 2004 through 2007 model years even though it opened an investigation more than two years ago and found 12 crashes and two injuries caused by the problem.

The documents, posted on the agency’s website, show yet another delay by GM in recalling unsafe ve-hicles and point to another example of government safety regulators reacting slowly to a safety prob-lem despite being alerted by consumers and through warranty data submitted by the company.

A recall can be initi-ated by an automaker or de-manded by the government.

Both GM and NHTSA have been criticized by safe-ty advocates and lawmakers for their slow responses to a

deadly ignition switch prob-lem in 2.6 million GM small cars. GM admitted knowing about the problem for more than a decade, yet didn’t start recalling the cars un-til February. The company says it knows of 13 deaths in crashes linked to the ig-nition switches, but family members of crash victims say the number is much higher.

The Ion was one of a few GM cars included in a March 31 recall of 1.5 mil-lion vehicles worldwide to replace the power steer-

ing motors; the recall also covered some older Saturn Auras, Pontiac G6s and Chevrolet Malibus. If cars lose power steering, they can still be steered, but with much greater effort. Driv-ers can be surprised by the problem and lose control of the cars and crash.

In a statement issued Saturday, GM admitted that it didn’t do enough to take care of the power steering problem.

NHTSA closed its inves-tigation into the Ion because GM had decided to recall the

cars, according to the docu-ments released Saturday.

“This raises more trou-bling concerns about GM’s and NHTSA’s actions as well as questions about whether NHTSA has the capability to effectively do its job,” said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo. “I intend to aggressively pursue these issues as our congressional investigation into GM and NHTSA continues.”

DeGette was a ranking member of a House sub-committee that grilled GM

You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty.

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 owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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 Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

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 owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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 law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

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 owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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 law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for in-formation regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number as-signed to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-12-516989-JB . Information about postponements that are very short in du-ration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the tele-phone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any

liability for any incor-rectness of the property address or other com-mon designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, di-rections to the location of the property may be ob-tained by sending a writ-ten request to the ben-eficiary within 10 days of the date of first publica-tion of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the success-ful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of mon-ies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be en-titled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to ex-ercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

At the main front entrance to the County Govern-ment Center Hall of Jus-tice, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is pur-ported to be: 4945 BUR-SON WAY, OXNARD, CA 93036 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incor-rectness of the street address and other com-mon designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, posses-sion, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining prin-cipal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, esti-mated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $665,261.93 (Esti-mated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NO-TICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con-sidering 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 owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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 law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number as-signed to this case 13-50892. 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 In-ternet Web site. The best way to verify postpone-ment information is to at-tend the scheduled sale.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is pur-ported to be: 2764 PETIT STREET, CAMARILLO, CA 93012 The under-signed Trustee disclaims any liability for any in-correctness of the street address and other com-mon designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, posses-

sion, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining prin-cipal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, esti-mated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $307,117.71 (Esti-mated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NO-TICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con-sidering 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 owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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 law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number as-signed to this case 14-51754. 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 In-ternet Web site. The best way to verify postpone-ment information is to at-tend the scheduled sale.

RETIREMENTFrom page 9Amake the possibility of outliving one’s retire-ment income a reality for many. Statistics reveal that as we age, there’s an increased probability of our eventually need-ing assistance with basic daily activities. The truth is that most of us will need long-term care in our later years.

• Market risk: Eco-nomic recessions have oc-curred throughout the his-tory of modern economics and always will, averag-ing one almost every nine years. If the market loses 50 percent one year and then increases 50 percent the following year, where are you? Many people get this wrong; after the fall and subsequent rise of 50 percent, you will have lost 25 percent.

• The sequence of re-turns: Gains or losses, or the order in which you receive your returns, can have a major impact on your retirement portfolio. It can mean the difference between having enough income in retirement and running out of money too soon. Be careful when an analysis states that you should achieve your goals by obtaining a specific rate of return. In most cases, this statement has not accounted for the sequence of returns.

INVENTIONFrom page 10A

Through this experi-ence George was moti-vated to do research on drowning and its effects on households. He found that drowning is the sec-ond highest cause of ac-cidental death among children, and that Afri-can-American children, had the highest death toll among all, was re-ported at triple the rate of Caucasian children. A cause was born, and as a result of this experience, George reportedly had a vision, which led to the creation of AJADD. George’s device would add a layer of protection by allowing a swimmer to send and received sig-nals to a lifeguard, or a caretaker, on land, or on by ship. So, if a swimmer was in distress, the swim-mer would be able to transmit vitality informa-tion, or other needed in-formation to a lifeguard, or caretaker. The beauty of this system would be that it allows the life-guard or caretaker to monitor the activities of several swimmers in real-time, at the same time.

George is looking for investors to help com-plete his first prototype. He has already assembled a team of electrical, me-chanical engineers and doctors to assemble the prototype, but he is look-ing for qualified inves-tors, and of course, they will share in the future profits of the company. George says that a per-centage of the proceeds that will be designated to help children and fami-lies affected by drown-ing, and for swim lessons for impoverished youth.

WOMENFrom page 11A

I was delighted when President Obama signed the Lily Ledbet-ter Act, and I have been privileged to hear Led-better speak on more than one occasion. She is an amazing woman with a talent for “break-ing it down.” When she learned that men do-ing the same job she did earned more money, she cried “foul” but the law said it was “too late” for her to complain. In her inimitable way, she said that grocers did not charge her less money because she was female, nor did doctors, or any-one else. She said that higher-paid men didn’t have to make uncomfort-able choices about which child would get new shoes or clothes.

African American women can tell the same story as Lily Ledbetter. Indeed, the gaps African American women are

likely to be more severe than the ones Lily Led-better faced. The pay gap for African Americans is larger and too many live in food deserts where the cost of food is higher even as the quality is lower.

Lily Ledbetter de-serves the limelight she earned because she brought this matter to the president’s attention. There’s a Black woman out there who can tell a similar or more com-pelling story. She, too, needs to be lifted up. We ought to know her name, see her name on a piece of legislation. Ledbet-ter is an ordinary shero, a working class woman who stood up for her rights. She reminds us that, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “You don’t have to be great to serve.” We need a sister to remind us that we don’t have to be elect-ed, appointed, or anoint-ed to make a difference.

When African Ameri-can women are margin-alized, so are our girls. They are left with the mistaken impression that we have not fought for our rights. We’ve been fighting and fighting, but somehow the story of a sister struggling is too unremarkable to be noted by the media.

Race and gender continue to shape the op-portunities that African American women have, and race and gender con-tinue to marginalize us Black women. When do African American women have equal visibility in the policy and imagery arena? When we demand it and when we stop applauding our own marginalization.

AARONFrom page 11Awant to be in this situa-tion. What do I gain by breaking Babe Ruth’s record? But what am I supposed to so, quit play-ing? Quit hitting homers? I got to do my thing?

Brother Aaron has never been one to be fooled by curve balls on or off the field. And that’s why he was a vocal sup-porter of the Civil Rights Movement and now Pres-ident Obama, who knows what it’s like to receive that kind of hate mail.

In that sense, Aaron is following in the rich tradition of Jackie Rob-inson, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell, Jim Brown and other sports legends across the years who have used their celebrity status to support the free-dom struggle in America.

Aaron said, “We are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record. If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have hap-pened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.”

Thank you, Hank Aaron. May all of our up and coming athletes have the courage and success of Hank Aaron. May all of our elected officials also grow stronger backbones to effectively withstand Republican repression. In the spirit of Brother Aar-on, let’s hit more home runs for freedom.

THINGFrom page 11A“intelligence” activity. The world is seeing us as an evil entity.

Then there is the “Mother” of all scandals – the IRS corruption. Ev-ery day the plot seems to thicken. There is more than a “smidgen of cor-ruption”. It appears to be a few truckloads of it. In the end, when the truth will eventually come out, there will be IRS em-ployees and people from the White House, Justice Department and recently it looks like Congress too will be indicted and car-ried off to jail. A federal agency which is already hated by most Americans has become a politicized organization working to-wards the detriment of our democracy. It is the work of the Devil himself.

The above are just a few examples. Items like socializing our insurance industry along with mort-gages, education; ignoring our debt; cutting our mili-tary; evading Congress and the Supreme Court are other items we can discuss later. It isn’t a Black thing. It is government overreach and a lack of respect for our Constitution.

GMFrom page 1BCEO Mary Barra earlier this month during a hear-ing on the ignition switch problems.

NHTSA said Saturday it was “actively working to bring this investigation to a resolution” when GM issued the recall.

“Over the past ten years, NHTSA defect investigations resulted in 1,299 recalls involv-ing more than 95 mil-lion vehicles and items of motor vehicle equip-ment, which has helped us reduce vehicle fatali-ties to historic, all-time lows,” the agency said in an emailed statement.

The number of com-plaints and claims with the power steering issue appears to be high when compared with other re-cent recalls that were pre-ceded by NHTSA inves-tigations. In March, three recalls — none of which were GM vehicles — were issued after two or fewer complaints. There were 29 warranty claims in one case, 263 in anoth-er and none in the third investigation. All three cases covered fewer ve-hicles than the Ion recall.

A search of the agen-cy’s database records shows that Ion owners started complaining about power steering failures as early as June 2004, and the first injury accident was reported to NHTSA in May 2007. The owner of a 2004 Ion reported driving 25 mph and tried to turn the steering wheel, but it locked, and the car crashed into a tree.

“Saturn stated the ve-hicle is not a defect,” the complaint said.

Another driver who filed a complaint in July 2010 said that one eve-ning, “midway around a bend, my vehicle’s elec-tric power steering went out and straightened my wheel, putting me into oncoming traffic.”

“I could have died and killed another driver,” said that person, who also owned a 2004 Saturn Ion.

The government does not identify people who file complaints with NHTSA.

Some of the people who complained about the Ion power steering found on the Internet that GM had recalled the Chevrolet Cobalt for the same problem in 2010. The Cobalt is nearly identical to the Ion.

“Very disturbed that the Cobalt was recalled for this problem and not the Saturn,” one owner wrote in 2010. “Makes no sense since the power steering is the same in both vehicles.”

GM spokesman Greg Martin wouldn’t com-ment directly on the Ion power steering Saturday, but pointed out a quote from the company’s new global safety chief Jeff Boyer when GM issued the power steering recall.

“We have recalled some of these vehicles before for the same is-sue and offered extended warranties on others, but we did not do enough,” Boyer said in March. “With these safety recalls and lifetime warranties, we are going after every car that might have this problem, and we are go-ing to make it right.”

Martin also said GM has created a team that in-cludes safety in the compa-ny’s product development.

Armida is very con-siderate about her fellow employees. She always manages to see about their well-being even in the most stressful times when the work load is high and there is a short-age in staff members. She always does that with a smile on her face.

Armida received an employee of the quar-ter plaque, a $250 cash award and is now eligible to receive a $500 cash award if she is selected Employee of the Year.

That’s exactly what she’s say-ing with regards to us being nurturers to our young women, they need us. I remember be-ing young, I probably didn’t appreciate it so much then, but many women were supporting me in so many different ways. I hope that even-tually through this alli-ance that it becomes a support and a foundation for our young women. Life gives you different things, but if you have a foundation from which you can rise from, then you can conquer any-thing.

When asked about the Christine the yoga Instructor, who provid-ed breathing exercises or “Chakras” (which promote physical and spiritual health in the body). Ms. Sims-Moten stated, “Absolutely, we wanted to incorporate and have more substan-tive things. When people come here, they’re going to be getting something, gaining something from this event. Not only the camaraderie and the alli-ances, but something for me personally. I think that we as African Amer-icans are the last ones to take care of ourselves. Therefore, sometimes our health suffers. I think yoga in a sense helps you free from your mind and helps it and your body become one with each other. We chose “Chair yoga” because we had elderly women here, some were frail, and we wanted to make sure that they were included in the whole thing. Christine and her co-teacher were very happy to oblige”.

When asked about the many different cities represented this year Ms. Sims Moten stated, “We had people from Santa Maria , we had Lom-poc , Ventura , Oxnard , and Los Angeles County much appreciated be-cause we are so small and fragmented. Here in Santa Barbara . We also had some women from UCSB who we’ve not necessarily been con-nected with and seems often disconnected with the community. Another thing that’s really im-portant, how do we let parents know that when their kids are coming up here…as African Ameri-can parents, they need to know that they have a community behind their children. And so, that’s another goal, to keep us connected and make sure that we touch base with UCSB and Santa Barbara City College and other organizations…that they know there’s a communi-ty that’s going to support these students when they need to”.

When asked how do you get others to coop-erate Sims-Moten stated “Because it’s not a small thing to do, three or four women that have been involved since the in-augural feel that they’re getting something out of this as well, their be-ing connected. There is something about help-ing, I know for me, that stirs really deep when I connect with others and I see their happiness, their appreciation for it, so we continue to go forth. None of us is higher than the others. We’re all working together. There are no levels. I may be the visionary, but I know that I don’t put the tech-nical things together and I want to say I appreci-ate every gift that each one brings. I’m no more important than each part that they bring so, us to-gether bring this peace”.

When asked about the plans for next year, Sims-Moten stated, “Yes, on the second Sat-urday for sure in April, we’ll be doing it again In the next upcoming years, it’s really going to be in-tentional, “Stepping Out And Stepping Forward” to really engage our young women and be-come mentors and make a connection. That’s absolutely the next goal in forming that There’s no greater resource than ourselves because we can connect, we can un-derstand our experiences like no one else can.

So, when the days get long, when the nights

are long and the days get early, I still hearken back to these last three (luncheons) . I hear the laughter; I hear the comments “thank you so much…I am so glad that I was here”. So that keeps me going, that keeps me saying that we want to do it, we want to connect with other cities that are doing it”.

Eric Blake at Ventura Harbor Comedy Club

This witty improvisation can be revealed at the drop of a hat, bringing new characters to life that flow directly from the unconscious, capturing the imagination of his audiences. This engaging comic has proven his worth night after night, performing to diversified audiences from coast to coast. Tickets are $15. There is a two drink minimum per person.
