Allan Guei is a standout high school basketball player fromCompton High School (Los Angeles) who won $40,000 towardscollege expenses in a free throw contest in March. Guei alreadyhad a full scholarship to play basketball for CSUN (Cal StateUniversity Northridge), so he decided to donate his winnings tothe people who finished behind him in the contest.
The contest was created by an advertising executive andscreenwriter who “wanted to make a documentary that dispelledsome of the negative stereotypes associated with the city ofCompton.” The contest was open to Compton seniors with a grade-point average of at least 3.0.Of the 80 who qualified, eight were chosen at random to participate.
Guei won the contest by making five free throws (a pretty low number for the star pointguard on the basketball team). Rather than keep the $40,000 for himself, he shared it with thepeople who finished behind him in the contest. The runners-up were already set to receive$1,000 towards college, but after the gift from Guei they have an additional $5,500. You makethink the whole thing was fixed, but based on NCAA rules Guei probably could have keptaround 80% of the winnings.
We’ve seen some nice gestures by athletes who have donated thousands of dollars in moneyor gifts, but for a student to do that? That takes a whole new level of generosity.

BP: It is sad to our see our communitieslack so many things and not be angry ashell. Redistricting could be a way for us
to ensure we have a strong foundation in whichto improve our voting strength and empower-ment as an African American City CouncilDistrict. Mostly everyone knows we are only18% of the population within our District. Oneway to increase our percentage is to draw thelines of our District to better reflect censustracts that are more African American.Secondly, our Latino brothers and sisters are30% of the population of the City/County. Weshould do all we can to support their efforts toget their 2nd District, (in addition to the 8thCity Council District) which does not includethe 4th District).
Latinos comprise of 46% of the 4th District,we have collaborated with the Latino leadersthat are spearheading their effort to moreappropriately have their community represent-ed with an additional City Council seat. It iscertain, that if the SD Redistricting Committeedoes not honor our “Unity” map whichincludes an additional Latino seat, their popu-lation will be included in our District popula-tion thus making it almost inevitable we willnot have an African American CityCouncilperson. Mathematically it will almostbe impossible.
If we do not come out in big numbers torepresent our map, this will be one moreopportunity that we have allowed to slipthrough our fingers. We have a few more meet-ings before the maps generated by theRedistricting Commission are presented to thepublic. If we see those maps and do not likethem we have a very difficult task to changethem.
This is a matter of survival, yet we have notattended the meetings in City Hall in the num-bers that will get the attention of theCommission. Latinos have come out in largenumbers, the LGBT communities have comeout in big numbers and the Asians are repre-sented. African American presence has beendismal. For whatever reason we fail to putforth the minimal effort to simply attend a fewmeetings!
SDMN: Is the problem that we don’t knowwhat the problems are?
BP: No, I used to think people do notunderstand the importance of redistricting, inthe City, County and State, but there have beenample news articles, emails, press conferences,editorials. I have mentioned a number of timesin the past that I thought “apathy” was ourbiggest issue in our community, and I continueto feel it, and see it. There was an editorial inlast weeks UT that said it all, entitled“Shameless Self Preservation”.
SDMN: As a candidate; is the problem thatwe don’t play politics well?
BP: We don’t even “show up”. Look at ourvoting habits and you will see. We have con-sistently a low turnout, yet when we vote weare usually the determinant force needed forany candidate to win in city-wide elections,and county-wide elections. For some reasonwe do not seem interested in voting. Our mem-ories must be short because there was a timeour Great Grandfathers and Mothers werelynched over the right to vote. Do peopleunderstand that in some southern states thereare movements to issue “voting cards?”Designed to restrict voting for people of color?
The Voting Rights Act is under attack innumerous States. Redistricting is a historicaltool used to dilute the vote of Blacks andLatinos. If we as a people do not wake up, oneday we will wake up and realize we have aneven smaller piece of the “pie” a smaller voiceand ask ourselves, “…what happened?…”
SDMN: Can we win a seat that could behelpful to us?
BP: That is totally up to us. We have to beeducated voters and not be swayed by emptypromises, promised moneys, lies and apathy.We have to be aware of Propositions that affectus and are placed in front of us in which tovote.
Look, I am not saying that a Latino could-n’t be a very good representative for ourDistrict. “Race” does not guarantee we will geta representative that looks after our best inter-est, but it will be a shame that for the first timein decades our representative for the 4th willnot be African American.
On the “County” level, wouldn’t it be nicefor us to have a chance to elect a County
Supervisor that actually lives in ourCommunity? One that attends our GrocerySTORE, attends a church over here, one thattruly understands our priorities and needs?
SDMN: What are the groups of people thatare keeping us from getting what WE NEED?
BP: The usual opposition of course, peoplethat are currently in Power. However WE arethe “groups of people that are keeping us fromwhat we need!” If we actively participate inour families, communities, neighborhoods,Town Councils we will start becoming moreeffective in demanding what we need andwant. I am not going to play that “victim” rolein which I blame others for my current situa-tion. In reality we all make decisions in ourlives that have a major impact on who we aretoday. In my family life, my kids were raised totake responsibility for their own actions; myparents taught me the same value.
SDMN: Barry why are we afraid to speakthe truth ABOUT what are problems reallyare?
BP: I have no idea. I know when I am infear and feel overwhelmed I sometimes playlike an Ostrich and want to bury my head inthe sand, or I want to blame others. I havefound the most successful people are ones thatcan acknowledge their shortcomings, and beconscious about addressing those problems.God made none of us perfect; we all have
“issues”. God also gave us the strength to faceour issues and correct them, not to blame oth-ers, or deny we have a problem.
SDMN: In plain truth and in simple termswhat’s going to happen to blacks in the city ifwe keep lying to ourselves?
BP: In my opinion, we will continue to see“Black flight” from the 4th, and we will havevery little impact in our own destiny. Our ser-vices and resources will continue to decline,education for our kids will decline, Blackbusinesses will continue to suffer, unemploy-ment in the City and County will increase, andwe will truly be “Invisible”, more so than weare now.
SDMN: Do we have individuals in this citywho are imposters? Meaning they play agood part but really can’t deliver results?
BP: Part of becoming aware is tohave people decide for themselves.My guess is “in our hearts” andbased on experience and perfor-mance we all have a list of peoplein the City, County and State thatwould fit the definition of“imposters”. If people sat stillfor a few minutes, reflect backon the last 4-10 years, Ithink we can create a listthat would probably be pret-ty darn accurate and similar.

Blacks Cannot Wean Themselves From the Breast of White AmericaThere is probably a 50/50 split among med-
ical doctors and professionals about what isbest for a baby — synthetic formula or naturalbreast milk? The thought brings me to thisquestion – why is it that the Vietnamese areflourishing within a multibillion dollar businessand have been able to wean themselves fromthe breast milk of White America? And notonly that, they have also weaned themselvesfrom preferential treatment by White America.They have taken over the nail market to thedegree that it is one of the fastest growing busi-nesses in America.
Almost every cab today is either owned oroperated by a Haitian or Central American.Even on the yellow cabs you can find a Haitianor Hispanic surname as the contractor that oper-ates it. Seldom do you see John Smith printedon the cab. Have we Black Americans weanedourselves off of such work? Perhaps we findourselves over and above driving a cab. Maybewe find ourselves elevated above a Vietnamesenail technician. But in Paradise Hills, NationalCity, and Bonita, there are thousands of Asian-owned businesses. Every nationality seems tohave their own niche in the business market.Indians operate small hotels. The Chinese man-ufacture everything. Koreans own the Blackbeauty business. The Koreans stepped awayfrom their own people to serve the Black beau-ty industry in its entirety, and today they com-pletely own it. Why is it that Black Americans,the former slaves of this country that under-stand how it feels to be a second-class citizencannot pull themselves away from the breast ofWhite America?
It was interesting to me to see the Filipinoson national television challenging the city overredistricting and their lack of representation. Itwas sobering to me to see them say that they’vebeen patiently waiting for years, paying theirtaxes and sending their children to school with-out any representation at the city office, themayor’s office, the county supervisor’s office,or the state assembly office. They have cometogether with other Asians to demand that theybe represented like all other nationalities.
When I left a segregated town in Alabamainfested by the KKK, we didn’t have any Black
By Barry PollardWe are approaching the end of the resident
participation section of the Redistricting pro-cess so I wanted to update everyone on the sta-tus and to reflect on what our task force havelearned.
The process began some 7 months ago andsince then, we have spoken to a numerous res-idents of the 4th City Council District abouttheir respective communities of interest, (i.e.,churches, schools, traffic corridors, parks,shopping areas, banks, etc), and where it madesense for boundaries to be adjusted. We alsostudied the 2010 Census information brokeninto census blocks. These efforts allowed us topresent a map to the Redistricting Commissionthat raises our percentage of the population forthe District (which better empowers theAfrican American vote within our District from18.88% to 20.6%), it also allowed us to reclaimCollege Grove Shopping Center and empowerthe anticipated additional Latino District. Sofar so good!
Maps from specificgroups were presented to theRedistricting Commissionoutlining new boundaries toaccommodate the communi-ties of interest, and new pop-ulation numbers that wererequired by the addition ofthe 9th City CouncilDistrict.
Last week 2 commission-ers presented exploratorymaps that disturbinglyaltered the maps that willunderutilize the AfricanAmerican vote and thatcompletely ignores theVoting Rights requirement of adding an addi-tional Latino seat at the City Council. Insteadthey apparently have diluted the populationinvolving people of color.
One of the motives for diluting votes is tomake any potential candidate of color nearimpossible to be elected and therefore repre-sent their District. There could have been othermotives for their rendition of the maps, but Iam unaware of any other motive. After view-ing these maps it was hard for me to believeany of the public comments were listened toand considered. In our case, ignoring our pro-posal, the communities of Webster and Oak
Redistricting?… “Do or Die” moment, it is up to us!
elected officials. Today when you go back andturn back the pages of time, there is no differ-ence in the responsibilities of the first Blackcouncilman and the present day councilmanelected today. Decades of Black councilmenhave made no difference to the Black commu-nity. We are still dependent on being breastfed.We have begged so much that we have madebegging a brand. We have made writing grantsan actual profession. We have made social ser-vices a career. We have been so breastfed byWhite America that everything we do mustmeet their approval.
Now if the Black city councilmen’s respon-sibility 40 years ago is the same as it is today,than those that went on before us didn’t get thevictory. You can say whatever you wish – if theeducational system is still awry after our chil-dren have been bussed and transported to everydistrict over the last 50 years ago, than we havenot become an independent people. If oursocial service organizations are still dealing
with the same problems we were 50 years ago,it means that we have not solved any of them.We want to stay on the breast milk of whiteAmerica and keep getting funded to makesocial services a career. If the churches todayare still preaching the same sermons about rightand wrong, our level of living has not been ele-vated. Our prayers have not been answered, orperhaps our prayers were never heard.
Why is our community in the same state thatit was hundreds of years ago when other nationsof people come here and find success in a mat-ter of a few decades? How did they pass us up?Today’s Blacks are locked out on the outsidelooking in, even at those that look like them,but originate from other countries. BlackAmericans are still entertaining Mr. Charlie andcannot wean themselves from the breast milk ofWhite America. What is wrong BlackAmerica?
Until Next Week,Willie Morrow
Park were drawn to bemoved into out of our D4!!!(Contrary to the testimony ofnumerous residents from thecommunities of Webster andOak Park.)
There is one map howev-er submitted by anotherCommissioner that moreappropriately and fairly con-sider the input for the com-munities of interest, and ismore aligned to the “Unity”map that our coalition sub-mitted, so there is somehope!
In this process there are acouple of things that are to be learned. Firstand foremost, community residents need toattend these meetings and speak up. If we arenot properly represented, our services andresources will continue to be a lower priority toour elected officials, thus impacting our streets,services, social services and overall quality ofliving.
Secondly we need more volunteers to par-ticipate in the redistricting process on a City,County and State level. Each level has a dra-matic and long term impact on people of color.We were not able to stay abreast of the Countyand State redistricting effort and therefore mostof our attention was focused on the CityRedistricting efforts. Thirdly African Americanresidents must continue to collaborate withother people of color, Latinos and Asians sincehistory has proven it is we that are marginal-ized. People of color are at least 30% of thepopulation of San Diego City and County andstatewide the numbers reflect we are muchmore than 30%. We have more strength if westick together and support each others’ agendasto move forward.
The next City Redistricting meeting is July9, 10:00am at Golden Hall downtown. Thenext County Redistricting meeting is July12, 9:00am at 1600 Pacific Highway, 4thfloor. Please contact me if you are interest-ing in attending. Contact me at 619.392.0203or [email protected]

The Nehemiah Project – Part 2Connect Create Collaborate
Finding The BRIGHT Spots – Dr. Willie Morrow and Gentry’s Barber ShopI hope you read the book. When Nehemiah’s home boys from the [neighbor]hood came to
see him in the king’s palace, they told him that “those who had survived and were back in thehomeland were in great difficulty, and that the foreigners who lived nearby looked down on them.They also told me that the walls of Jerusalem were still broken down, and that the gates had notbeen restored since the time when they were burned.”
We can draw a number of parallels between the condition of Jerusalem in Nehemiah’s dayand those “in great difficulty” (distressed communities) around the world today. But for now,let’s talk about Black folk in San Diego. Why do so many people say there is no Black com-munity in San Diego (“broken walls”), and how did we get in this condition? Nehemiah mayhelp us understand this better, and take action to fix it!
I am going to let you meditate on the statement, “the foreigners who live nearby look downon [us].” I am far less concerned with what those outside the community think, than I am withwhat we think of our selves. So I want to put two exemplary San Diego African Americaninstitutional icons on blast!
First, there is the publisher of this paper, Dr. Willie Morrow, founder and creator of theCalifornia Curl. Creator and proprietor of the 400 years Without A Comb Museum. And didI say publisher of the Monitor News and Business Journal? Second, there is Gentry’s BarberShop. Gentry’s is a multi-generational institution. These are just two of Black San Diego’s mostlasting examples of how great the San Diego Black community is. Several years ago Mr.Larry Malone and Mr. James Stancil created a poster of MANY successful and active AfricanAmerican community members. These are brick that are still standing in the walls around theBlack community. But there are many holes in the walls we need to fill in. There are manymore institutions we have to build for the protection of our children, and for our own devel-opment.
So The Nehemiah Project starts with the recognition that WE ARE A GREAT PEOPLE!No matter what anyone else may say. So go look in the mirror and tell yourself you are greatand you love yourself. Then say it to someone Black you know and care about. Then say it tosomeone Black you don’t know, because they are family too.
Then, The Nehemiah Project says that we must build more institutions that serve us (and,ultimately, others). Self-sufficiency and self-determination are acts of self-love. Next week,a definition of love, and how to make bricks.

Greg WilsonHi, Greg “The Internet Guy” Wilson, here
again and wanted to talk about SocialNetworks.
First of all what is a social network? In anutshell, it is a community of people
with alike interests or inter-connected rela-tionships. An example of a few networks are the
the all-famous Facebook, Myspace andLinkedIn. These communities offer differentbut alike options to customize your experience.
The 1 thing that sets one network from thenext is the niche that each serves. Sites likeFacebook,
While is wildly popular in my opinion isgetting very crowded, and with MarkZuckerburg constantly pushing the limits onour privacy, is becoming a breeding ground forhackers, scammers, spammers and every imag-inable thing in between. Not too mention themany viruses that are spread around throughmessages and games etc; But not to discourageanyone, which I doubt this article will causeanyone to delete their account anyway, but Iwas just trying to make a point: You can startyour own.

‘Soul Train’ artifacts at Smithsonian’sMuseum of African American HistoryBy DeNeen BrownPeace, love and soooooooul spilled out of a whitetent Thursday night on the Mall as a crowd boogieddown a massive “Soul Train” line. The event cele-brating a donation of artifacts from the popular1970s-era TV show to the Smithsonian’s NationalMuseum of African American History and Culturehad, appropriately, turned into a dance party.
Aman in brown dress socks and white Converseshoes danced wildly next to a prim woman in a plat-inum sheath. Nearby, a woman dressed straight outof the iconic television program, in hot pants andplatform shoes, grooved to the old-school musicpumping through the speakers. Those in the mul-tiracial crowd laughed and threw their hands in theair as they danced the Bump, the Loose Booty, theRobot and the Funky Chicken.
“Girl, you better swing it! Push it, baby!” yelledTyrone “the Bone” Proctor, an original “Soul Train”dancer who taught the crowd iconic dances.
The woman in hot pants pumped a little harderand swung her arms.
“Oh, my!” Proctor yelled. “Stop it! You areimpressing me!”
To help celebrate its 40th anniversary, “SoulTrain” — which began airing nationally in 1971 andbecame one of the longest-airing nationally syndi-cated first-run programs in television history —donated five signature props for the museum’s exhi-bitions “Musical Crossroads,” “Black PopularCulture” and “Make a Way Out of No Way.” Themuseum is set to be completed on the Mall in 2015.
The items that were donated: “Applause” signs,the 10-foot-wide neon “Soul Train” sign, the neon“Soul Train Awards” sign, silver African heads fromthe awards program, and the Scramble Board, onwhich dancers unscrambled word puzzles quickly,then broke out in dance.
Before the Smithsonian dance lesson, Lonnie G.Bunch, founding director of the museum, told thecrowd: “I accept this donation on behalf of everyteenager like me who tried but failed to dance likethe dancers on ‘Soul Train.’ With this donation, it’sreally clear — the Smithsonian just got hip!”
Bunch said the acquisition would help the muse-um tell the story of “Soul Train,” which turned shag-
carpeted living rooms into dance floors as legions ofwannabes tried waacking, popping, locking and theclick-clack along with the “Soul Train” crew. Theshow, which aired nationally until 2006, becamesymbolic of the “black is beautiful” era, which fol-lowed the civil rights movement and celebratedblack empowerment and pride among AfricanAmericans.
Don Cornelius, the show’s host and founderwho sported a perfect orb of an Afro, was the epito-me of cool as he interviewed stars such as theJackson 5, James Brown and Aretha Franklin.
The show became a cultural touchstone forAmericans of all races, Bunch said. It “transmittedAfrican American culture to an unbelievably broadaudience. ‘Soul Train’ was around long enough toshape many generations. It became this interestingsnapshot of several generations of AfricanAmerican culture and style.”
The celebration, which was part of theSmithsonian Folklife Festival’s“Rhythm and Blues:Tell It Like It Is” program, opened with a panel dis-cussion, moderated by museum curator TulizaFleming, about the show’s influence on television,culture, advertising and race relations. TonyCornelius attended to represent his father, who hesaid was honored by the Smithsonian’s acquisition.
Proctor credited Don Cornelius with helping tosave African American music by giving black artistsa national platform.
“For many people, ‘Soul Train’ was a lifestyle,”Proctor said. “People would get up on Saturday andnobody would be in the street because they wouldall be in the houses watching ‘Soul Train.’ For thekids who danced on there, we literally lived for theshow.”
Kinshasha Holman Conwill, deputy director ofthe museum, donned an Afro wig and said, “Howcool is that?”
And when the conversation ended, the “SoulTrain” party began. Ahmir Khalib Thompson, a.k.a.Questlove, a DJ and drummer for the Roots,released a flurry of hits showcased on “Soul Train,”and the crowd exploded. It seemed not to matterwhether one could keep a beat. “Soul Train” wasforgiving.

I was having a conversation today regarding discipline or the lackthere of. This conversation sparked this article. I believe that everyonecraves or better yet appreciates discipline – secretly and maybe evenunconsciously. There needs to be a well-balanced use of discipline inorder for it to be effective. Here is my simplest comparison. Rememberthe story of Goldilocks and the three bears. There were three compo-nents considered in order for Goldilocks to find the perfect place to restin. There was one that was too hot and too hard, another that was toocold and too soft and then finally she encountered elements that werejust right.
Let’s glean into the components of each type of discipline and disci-plinarian:
Discipline given too hard can make one more rebellious, one morehardened, and potentially more violent. Anyone trying to get the onebeing disciplined to correct unacceptable behavior may obtain moments of obedience, but in the end findsan embittered person who doesn’t respect the intent or care too much for the person doing the disciplining.The actions used to correct unacceptable behaviors are seen as punitive and believed by the one being dis-ciplined that great pleasure is being obtained by the one disciplining. In this instance the person holds agrudge or worse never re-embraces the one who was disciplined making the one disciplined feel as thoughyour love, if ever shown, is only given if the child or other submissive individual walks the straight and nar-row. This one reprimands harshly when needed but never compliments when the one being disciplined doessomething worthy of praise.
Then there is the one who disciplines with no firmness (too soft) and with no real conviction (too cold).This disciplinarian is inconsistent, incoherent, and generally given based upon an overall frustration ratherthan the situation at hand, meaning the person doesn’t quite understand why the one disciplining is so angry.The one needing discipline can repeat unacceptable behavior and not receive any recriminations for thatbehavior then one day, wham, the one disciplining loses it and takes out all of their pent up anger on theunfortunate one who chose the wrong day to do what you found no need to correct in the past. No wonderthe child is confused.
Then there is the correct discipline. Discipline that is firm, consistent, controlled, and most importantlygiven by the one the person being discipline respects, beyond fear, but the one being disciplined clearlyunderstands and believes that the one disciplining is doing it because they truly want the one being disci-plined to be better for it. They want them to learn from the correction and prayerfully exhibit a character thathas been shaped and molded by both correction and praise. This one, when the energy cools down, isembraced, told they are loved and explained to as to why the behavior exhibited is absolutely unacceptableevery single time they do it.
This is the same discipline we receive from our heavenly Father. We are told that He whom He loves Hechastens. When we are lovingly and firmly chastened we truly understand that the main source of the followthrough is love. Love that insists and is committed to being the role model and the example that the one beingdisciplined may mirror in later years. This disciplinarian is one who lives by their own code of ethics (notdo as I say not as I do). A consistent standard in the home allows all to understand what is expected and gen-erally you find all abide by those consistent standards. This lines up with choices and consequences. Rulesare followed and if they are not then there are consistent consequences.
The giving of discipline and the personal institution of discipline must be a part of every area of our lifeif we desire to live a successful life. We must have discipline in the following areas:
Our dietOur relationships (all of them - God, children, friends, spouses, and coworkers)Our healthOur attitudeOur pursuit of dreams and goalsOur conductIt is by our follow through in the above areas that those around us see the real us and prayerfully follow
the example that is laid before them.Stay tuned next week for “Help my life is out of control.”

Your Chief Vacation Specialist: Ebony Hope Taylor
July 4thThis past weekend I asked a few people what does July 4th mean to them, most people
answered a day off with pay or 3 day weekend. Like most holidays people choose to spend themwith their close friends and family creating memories that will last a lifetime. I wondered do peo-ple ever think about the significance of 4th of July?
Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States and the adoption of the declara-tion of Independence on July 4, 1776. It’s a day where barbecuing, patriotic parades, a night ofconcerts, fireworks, and a reason to fly the American flag take place.
I am so honored to live in a country where my freedom is mandated in the constitution andcelebrated across the nation. A few years back my mother and I decided to make a tradition onhow to celebrate our 4th of July. We go to the San Diego County Fair a.k.a. “Del Mar Fair”. Youwould think that is the last place on earth to go because of all of the crowds but to be honest it’sthe best place to be. The vendors have reduced the prices on their products; you’re giving morefood because their just going to throw it out any way and everyone is happy because it is theLAST day of the fair.
We get up early on the 4th and drive to Del Mar and park at Horse Park, one of the free park-ing lots. The scenery is so beautiful, with lots of greenery, trees and all of the horses gallopingalong the track. It’s a great way to start relaxing before jumping aboard the double decker Britishstyle buses. The kid in me comes out when I get on and I start making funny faces to kids in thecar as we are being shuttled to the fair. My mom tells me to stop, “You are too old for that” whileshe’s laughing at the kids response to my jokingly manner.
Once we hit the fair the first thing we do is go to the Vendor exhibits. Spending hours look-ing at the new products and eating all of the food samples is a way to entertain yourself if you’renot looking to be jolted around on the rides. Now there are plenty of rides for adults and a kiddypark if that’s your fancy. There is plenty of free entertainment from dancers, singers, boxing,wrestling competitions, petting zoo amongst an array of competitors looking for a prize.
The food is the best so don’t go there talking about I’m on a diet, No Sir. Grilled corn withparmesan cheese, chile and hot sauce is our first purchase every time. This time we opted for thebarbecue chicken, coleslaw and bake beans for our entrée. A first time treat to the free WineTasting of San Diego local wines was fabulous. They even gave us a souvenir wine glass andsome Winchester Gouda cheese which tingled the pallets in our mouth. Dessert was a tossbetween a cinnamon roll or funnel cake. My mother used her trump card to force me to the fun-nel cake, with powder sugar, strawberries and whip topping. We devoured the dessert and wewere happy with the choice as it was scrumptious. Off to the Heineken Grandstand Stage to seethe Red Speedwagon with the Navy Band Southwest and Fireworks show was amazing as every-one sang the national anthem in unison.

AFRICA MAY BE “RICHER” THAN YOU THINK
Poorly manipulated by what we see of Africa bythe media—television ads of hungry and home-less African children, struggling African womento nourish their young sick babies, etc—we all
can safely assume that Africa, with or without a bias opin-ion, is poor and corrupt. However, in reality, Africa isRicher than any country in the world. Africa has one thingthat every world continent wants and has to have: Rare-Earth Metals.
Think about it? Think really, really hard about this. Theworld runs on ENERGY. How do you think it’s made?Rare earth metals are seventeen elements found in the peri-odic table (scandium, yttrium and fifteen metals knowncollectively as lanthanides). The most significant mineralsidentified at Mount Muambe (Southeast Africa:Monzambique) are heavy rare earths - which are elements 63-71 in the periodic table—fromeuropium to lutetium. These elements, found in these rare earth metals, are used in lasers, flu-orescent lamps, magnets and x-ray machines. Yttrium is also used in high-temperature super-conductors: magnets, trains, heat, etc. And other elements also found in flat screen TV’siPods, batteries, etc. (www.allafrica.com)
You think oil runs the world and without it we are all going to die? YEAH RIGHT!! Thinkagain, my friends. If the world does run out of oil tomorrow, people will be able to stay homeearly from school or work, and tweet about it on their computers and phones all day long froma worldwide platform. Why do I say computers and phones? I say them because they aremade by the rare earth materials that are found in none other than Africa, herself.
Africa is one of the largest holders (next to China) of the world’s most valuable and lim-ited source of rare earth metals, especially in carbonatites. Many sources have concluded thatAfrica has more than half of the world’s deposits of carbonatites. As of March 4th 2011,experts say that Africa has been the forefront to a massive hunt for depleted rare earth met-als. The hunt for rare earths hit a high point at the end of last year when China, which pro-duces 95 percent of rare earths, threatened South Korea to set aside about $1.4 million forsupplies to mine Africa (South Africa). Investors are now casting a discerning eye over thesector, betting that only a handful of mining companies will survive the race to supply theworld with high-tech metals of the future. (RUETURS: AFRICA)
China with its huge stronghold of the world’s economy are monopolizing this marketaggressively. Currently, China controls 97 percent of rare earth supplies in the world, withtheir mines at home and in Africa. In Africa, they have developed strong ties with manyresource-rich states so that countries would have no lei way to break ties: building roads andsupplying loans in exchange for their minerals. The United States is now facing a loomingshortage of rare earth minerals—minerals that they use to make high-tech weaponry. And areaccusing China for hegemony.
Let me remind you that these loans provided by China could have well funded militantregimes and corrupt governmental officials who have brought violence and domination to itspeople. Making “Blood Diamonds” a child’s play. China is, what it is today because ofAfrica. It’s amazing how we are targeting the wrong source of energy, using war as an accuseand focusing all of our attention to the Middle East, when China (and the rest of the world)are directly focusing their resources to Africa. We are really blind-sided. Oil is depleting, ourties with the Middle East for oil are terrible, and yet we are so glued to our iPods, comput-ers, etc.,that we fail to recognize were it all came from. Yeah! It was produced in China butits parts were from Africa
Africa is second largest continent in the world when it comes to population; having somuch potential. I only wish that African nations would come together and lead Africa as theworld’s largest super power in the world, but through peace and order.

When lockout ends, Bolts should have freedom to make movesBy Kevin Aceehttp://www.signonsandiego.com
The Chargers, like many teams, will havemoney to spend in 2011.
When 2011 begins, at least as it pertains to theNFL, remains an unknown as players and ownersinch toward a new Collective BargainingAgreement, deciding how to split revenues of $9billion (and growing).
But indications – including what leaguesources described as a draft of a new CBA “float-ing around the league” – are that a deal will be
completed sooner than later. Still, one source alsocautioned that many reports of details emergingfrom the past few weeks of meetings between thesides are erroneous and/or premature.
The specifics remain to be decided, and we’relikely at least three weeks from anything official-ly being set in motion, since the league has said itwill not begin any business until a new CBA isactually signed.
But numerous reports regarding one majorcomponent of a new CBA have stated that theagreement will include a provision that not only
sets the ’11 salary cap between $120-130 millionbut requires teams to spend at least 90 percent ofthat – in real money.
The salary cap was previously inclusive ofprorated monies from bonuses, but the new struc-ture, according to multiple reports, is likely tomeasure only “cash” (salary and bonuses) paid ina specific year.
That means more money for free agents, aswell as incentive for teams to rework contracts ofcurrent players.
One prominent agent said last week he seesthe new CBA benefiting veterans whose con-tracts are almost up as much as it does the currentcrop of free agents.
“I think the teams are going to use the moneyto extend their veterans,” the agent said.“Especially since (the teams) haven’t been able todo a lot of long-term deals the past couple yearswith all the uncertainty.”
The Chargers have long been known to beplanning a return to their core principle of signingtheir own players to long-term contracts, some-thing they did dozens of times between 2006 and
'08 but rarely since then.That could mean as much to Nick Hardwick,
Shaun Phillips and Antoine Cason as it does tocurrent free agents Jeromey Clary, Kevin Burnettand Eric Weddle.
The Chargers players currently under contractare due to make slightly less than $70 million thisseason. That figure demonstrates a healthy sum tobe spent before the start of the season, but it islargely insignificant since a few of those playersfigure to be released and the Chargers have anumber of starters (at least three) and other play-ers to sign once free agency begins. Those“other” players include draft picks and likelyinclude receiver Vincent Jackson, who stands tomake $12 million in 2011 as the Chargers’ fran-chise player.
The starters they need to sign – in case youhave forgotten over the course of the 114-daylockout – include at least one inside linebacker, aright tackle and free safety.
The Chargers are also looking for anotherpass rusher and depth at center and offensivetackle.
Chargers center Nick Hardwick, left, could benefit from the Chargers having money to spendunder a new CBA. Hardwick's current contract is up after the 2011 season.

By Lady TopazThis is Part II in the
mini-series of Eating toCleanse the wholebody. Last week wediscussed the basics ofpreparing for a wholebody cleanse. Thisweek I will provide youwith the simple mechanics of the cleansingschedule – here is to great living!
THE FULL BODY CLEANSE DIETMorningEat any raw, ripe fruits that you desire,
along with any combination of lettuce, celery,and avocado, if desired.
If you have trouble staying full on just rawfruits and vegetables, be sure to have avocadowith your fruit, as the healthy fatty acids foundin avocado should help you stay satisfied untilyour next meal.
If you would like, you can blend up your
morning meal into a smoothie.You should also have water, minimum of ?
your desired body weight (in ounces) per day,or a hot drink made with boiling water and pep-permint or chamomile tea.
AfternoonEat a large vegetable salad with as many dif-
ferent vegetables as possible. If you would likea salad dressing, use extra-virgin olive oil, freshlemon juice, fresh orange juice, fresh lime juiceor any combination of extra-virgin olive oil andcitrus juice. Try to avoid vinegar, honey, salt,and spices.
If you have trouble feeling full, again, try toinclude an avocado with your salad.
If you don’t think you can make it to dinneron a raw vegetable salad with avocado, have asteamed Yukon gold potato, new potato, orsweet potato after your salad.
Feel free to have water, the more water youconsume the fuller you will stay longer, or pep-permint or chamomile tea after your lunch

meal. Also feel free to have any fresh, ripefruits that you desire after your vegetable salad.
EveningEat any combination of raw vegetables and
fruits that you desire, but aim to have at least asmany vegetables as fruits.
If you are still hungry after eating raw veg-etables and fruits, have any steamed vegetablesthat you enjoy, such as steamed broccoli,cauliflower, cabbage, corn, and asparagus.
If you are still hungry after eating steamedvegetables, feel free to have steamed root veg-etables, such as steamed potatoes, sweet pota-toes and carrots.
SnacksAny raw fruits, vegetables, their juices, and
smoothies made with raw fruits and vegetablesare fine snack choices. For a dip to eat with rawvegetables, have guacamole made with avoca-do, red onion, and lemon or lime juice.
FULL BODY CLEANSE SAMPLE MENUMorningBig bowl of watermelon with a large hand-
ful of romaine lettuce leaves and 1/4 to 1/2 ofan avocado.
AfternoonA large vegetable salad made with leafy let-
tuce, cucumber slices, tomato slices, shreddedcarrots, shredded red beets, sliced red onions,shredded zucchini, 1/2 to 1 whole avocado, 1/2a sweet bell pepper, and raw corn kernels.
Optional: Dressing made by mixing one partextra-virgin olive oil and one part lemon juice.
EveningSmall bowl of romaine lettuce, celery sticks,
mango, and blueberries.Steamed cabbage, broccoli, and 1/2 to 1
whole raw avocado.SnackSmoothie made with banana, blueberries,
mango, and water. FULL BODY CLEANSE SCHEDULEA nice feature of this full body cleanse is
that you can follow it for however many daysyou desire and/or your schedule allows.
Initially, you may want to try it over theweekend, beginning on Friday evening, andending on Monday afternoon.
Many people find that seven full days isquite manageable, and produces noticeable
changes in energy level and sense of well-being. The first while can be tough for somepeople who experience severe symptoms ofwithdrawal, but for the majority of people whoexperience such symptoms, things start to lookup after a few days.
If you like how this program of eatingmakes you feel, it’s fine to continue with it foras long as you feel strong and healthy.
When you are ready to add other foods backinto your diet, it is best to proceed slowly. Onthe first day of “breaking” your cleanse, youshould follow the same diet, but add one addi-tional food to your afternoon or evening meal,like hummus made with chickpeas.
On day 2, you can have two servings of pro-tein-dense foods, say a serving of eggs withlunch and a serving of fish for dinner.
As you break into a long-term pattern of eat-ing, the goal should be to keep the full bodycleanse diet as the foundation of your diet, andto add small servings of healthy, protein-densefoods (grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and animalfoods) to your meals as your appetite dictates.
HOW TO USE FRESH JUICES DURING YOURFULL BODY CLEANSE
After a day or two of getting right into thefull body cleanse diet, it’s fine to try a day ortwo of having nothing but fresh juices.
Because juices are mostly devoid of fiber,they put even less burden on your digestiveorgans than the whole foods that they comefrom. Less digestive burden translates to moreenergy being available for your self-regulatedcleansing mechanisms.
Here are some guidelines for juicing days:1. Have as many freshly pressed juices as
you desire.2. Stick mainly with green juices that are
made with a foundation of dark green, leafy let-tuce and celery. Use only small amounts ofsweet root vegetables like carrots and red beets.
3. If you want to have some freshly pressedfruit juice, mix it 50/50 with a non-sweet veg-etable juice.
Here’s an example of what a juicing daymight look like:
Juice #16 leaves romaine lettuce2 ribs celery2 carrotsJuice #26 leaves green leafy lettuce2 orangesJuice #36 leaves romaine lettuce juice2 leaves green cabbage2 carrotsJuice #4Big handful of kale or Swiss chard2 ribs celery2 applesJuice #52 tomatoes2 carrots3 ribs celerySqueeze of lemon juiceAfter your juicing day(s), go back to the full
body cleanse diet described above for at least aday before adding protein-dense foods to yourdiet.
An alternative to doing full juicing days is tosubstitute one of your regular meals with afreshly pressed vegetable juice.
Stay tuned next week for Full BodyCleanse: Lifestyle.

‘Idol’ speculation: Auditions at Petco ParkBy George Varga, Reporter, critic - Music
Downtown San DIego — Are you the nextAdam Lambert? Or, rather, do you think you’rethe next Adam Lambert (or Jennifer Hudson),and you want the world to know it?
Then head to Petco Park this week, whereregistration for “American Idol” auditioners willbegin at 7 a.m. Wednesday and continue until 8a.m. Friday, the same day the first round of audi-tions will be held at the ballpark for the show’supcoming 11th season.
Singers who make the cut will be asked toreturn to Petco Park for the second round ofauditions, July 9-11.
Those hoping to try out are encouraged toregister Wednesday or Thursday. Waiting untilFriday may reduce your chance of getting anaudition slot.
This marks the second time “American Idol”auditions have been held in San Diego. The firstwas in 2007 at Qualcomm Stadium, where
approximately 12,000 hopefuls from across SanDiego County and several other states turnedout. Five San Diego auditioners that year endedup as finalists.
Six other U.S. cities are audition sites thisyear.
A word of caution: If your motivation toaudition is to meet one or more of the judgesfrom the Fox TV show, none of them will be pre-sent, at least not for the first round Friday. It isn’tyet known whether any of the judges will be atPetco Park for any or all of the second round.
Nor has it been officially announced, inci-dentally, which judges from last season will beon board again next season. This has led to idlespeculation by some that Ozzy Osbourne andLady Gaga could be in line to replace StevenTyler and Jennifer Lopez, should they opt not toreturn to the judges table for the show’s 2012season.
Registration will be continuous. That means
aspiring “Idol” participants have two days —and nights — to head to Petco Park, sign up andsee whether they can make their dreams of musicstardom (or at least TV stardom) become a real-ity.
There are some restrictions. If you are — asof June 26, 2011 — 14 or younger, or 29 or older,you are not eligible. Those auditioning must be“legal U.S. citizens or a permanent U.S. residentwho is eligible to work full-time in the U.S.,” the
rules state.All auditioners must bring two forms of iden-
tification — for example, a driver’s license and abirth certificate or passport. If you are youngerthan 18, you must be accompanied by a parent orlegal guardian.
Each auditioner will also have to sign aseven-page personal release form. That form andan information handout can be seen at ameri-canidol.com/auditions.
