Members of Ventura County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (File photo)Camarillo, Calif. -

Mark your calendars, lace up your sneakers and get that heart pumping - the 2nd Annual Run For Your Health 5K race, one of Ven-tura County's premier runs, is scheduled for May 3, 2014. The Ventura County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (VCAC) in affiliation with the Delta Foundation Re-search and Educational Foundation and in partner-ship with As1 Fitness, is excited to bring the race

back to the Camarillo Com-munity Center in Camaril-lo, CA. The 5K Run/Walk event begins at 8 a.m. and the 1K Kids' Fun Run be-gins at 9 a.m.

"Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing about 600,000 in America every year. The chapter hosts this Run for Your Health 5K run as our way to encourage healthy life-styles through activities," said VCAC President Shanté Morgan-Durisseau.

The race is a fundraiser to support VCAC's efforts towards making a differ-ence in the community and providing college scholar-ships to deserving young people in Ventura County. Last year, VCAC awarded several scholarships to re-cipients who represented high schools from through-out Ventura County. With the cost of attending col-lege continuing to rise, the chapter's goal is to contin-ue to provide scholarships

WalletHub Report: California is the 2nd Worst State to be a Taxpayer!

Retired Pilot: Missing Malaysian Plane Did Not Crash

WalletHub, the lead-ing personal finance social network released its 2014 report on the Best & Worst States to be a Taxpayer. The report analyzed how the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia com-pare to the national median in terms of 10 different cat-egories of taxation, rang-ing from state and local in-come taxes to alcohol and telecom taxes. California at a glance:

1st – Highest State In-come Tax (9.3%)

1st – Highest Gas Taxes (70.87 Cents/Gallon)

2nd – Highest Auto Sales Tax ($257.08)

9th – Highest State Sales Tax Rates (8.38%)

Oprah to Sell Harpo Studios in Chicago

Oprah Winfrey report-edly has signed a deal to sell Harpo Studios on Chi-cago's West Side for an undisclosed price, but the Sterling Bay Companies, the purchaser, won't dis-cuss the pending sale.

Chicago-based Sterling

Bay reportedly will lease the property back to Harpo Studios, which produces content for the Oprah Win-frey Network, which is based in Los Angeles.

The property is located on 3.5 acres, and is com-prised of three buildings.

Oprah WinfreyAbout 200 individuals work at the location.

Winfrey moved her talk show to the neighborhood in 1988. With a team of in-vestors, she purchased the 88,000 square-foot prop-erty and expanded it.

By Frederick H. LoweIt's pretty clear that Ma-

laysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared March 8 while cruising at 35,000 feet from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China, did not crash because there isn't any debris and neither the cockpit voice recorder nor the flight data recorder, which send pinging signals for 30 days to search and rescue teams, following a plane crash, have been acti-vated, a former commercial airline pilot told The North-Star News & Analysis.

The flight data recorder is often referred to as the "black box," although it is bright orange in color so it can be found easily at a crash site. The flight data recorder or accident data recorder is an electronic device employed to record any instructions sent to any electronic systems on an aircraft. It is a device used to record specific aircraft-performance parameters.

The cockpit voice re-corder records conversa-tions in the cockpit and radio communications be-

tween the cockpit crew and others, including air traffic control personnel. It, too, is bright orange in color.

Both the flight data re-corder and cockpit voice reporter are located in the rear of the plane, mostly in a plane's tail because that section of the plane is most likely to survive a crash. The flight data recorder and

example, end up at roughly the same economic stature as kids from the median family in Atlanta.

Why? State and local taxes. At least that’s what a group of Harvard and Berkeley researchers col-laborating on The Equality of Opportunity Project have to say. They “found a sig-nificant correlation between both measures of mobility and local tax rates.”

WalletHub analyzed how state and local tax rates compare to the national me-dian in the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia. We compared eight differ-ent types of taxation in or-der to determine: 1) Which states have the highest and lowest tax rates; 2) how those rates compare to the national median; 3) which states offer the most value in terms of low taxation and high cost-of-living adjusted income levels.

dealing with Temptation

Dr. Lonnie G. McCowan, pastor of

Miracle Center of VenturaBy Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan

everyone faces temp-tation. But the truth is, very few people deal with it effectively. That shouldn’t be the case, and it doesn’t have to be the case for believers. There are some very simple and effective ways of dealing with temptation that you should know, and if you’ll put them into practice, I guarantee, you’ll come out the winner.

It has been said, “Fail to plan and you’re planning to fail.” That statement could not be truer when it’s ap-plied to temptation. I don’t know anyone who gets up in the morning and prays to fail when faced with tempta-tion, but I know many peo-ple who get up each morn-ing and fail to plan for what the Bible says we will all certainly face. So, first and most important, you must be prepared. Very few peo-ple have taken the time or made the effort to prepare.

2 Chronicles 12:14 says it this way,“And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.”

This was speaking of Rehoboam, the king of Judah. He started off as a good king who was seek-

ing the Lord. But just like many people today, he wasn’t prepared for what would inevitably come his way. When Satan throws temptation your way, if you’re not already pre-pared, it’s too late. You’ll probably lose the fight.

Jesus prepared Him-self. He spent thirty years getting ready for His en-counter with the devil, and He started preparing early. At the age of twelve, He had obviously spent many hours reading and study-ing the Scriptures. I’m sure that study continued all His life, but even Jesus needed more.

Before He was tempted by Satan face to face, He was anointed with the Holy Spirit at His baptism by John in the Jordan River. Jesus went into the wilder-ness to be tempted by the devil, full of the power of the Holy Spirit.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit is an absolute necessity for overcom-ing temptation. There are many Christians who received the Holy Spirit years ago and haven’t been full of the Holy Spirit a day since. It’s not about what happened to us long ago; we have to stay full of the Holy Spirit. One way of doing this is by praying in the spirit. Jude 1:20-21 “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep your-selves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”

How many times have

you needed your most holy faith to take you through a certain trial, and yet you haven’t used this gift of the Holy Spirit?

isaiah 28:11-12 says, “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”

Do you ever need rest or refreshing? I guarantee that you do, and this verse says praying in the spirit is the way to get it. We have a tremendously powerful gift available to us through the Holy Spirit, but few people take advantage of it. Instead, we ask God to do what He told us to do. We need to use this gift of praying in the spirit to stir ourselves up, or we risk sinking to the bottom.

you must also know who you are. Matthew 4 record the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. One of the most amazing aspects of those tempta-tions was that Satan began two of the three tempta-tions with the words, “If thou be the Son of God.” The real temptation was Satan’s attempt to get Je-sus to doubt who He was. That’s the same way he at-tacked Adam and Eve. The serpent told Eve that if she would eat the forbidden fruit, she would be like God (Gen. 3:5). The truth was that she was already like God, but she didn’t know it. The first Adam sinned, because he didn’t TEMPTATION, See page 12A

Words to Live by

Inez LannsBy Inez Lanns

A man is dealing with the stresses of life – he has a wife and children to take care of, a very in-tense job that barely makes ends meet, responsibilities outside of family & work (maybe volunteering in community or fraternity commitments, etc.) – and he is not exactly sure of how to deal with the stressors. Because he doesn’t want to worry his wife or maybe he feels like she won’t receive his feelings in a helpful or positive manner, he decides not to communicate what is going on to his wife. Since he has such a busy schedule with his family, work and outside commitments, he doesn’t really have a good male support system. So he’s feeling overwhelmed, and it is silently taking a toll on him. He feels that he cannot cope with what he is responsible for and decides that it is too much; he decides to walk away from his family.

He continues to live his life, working and has min-imal involvement with his children. It eats him up in-side because he feels con-stant guilt and sorrow for what he has done, but he continues (to walk broken) along the path that he has chosen. His wife does not understand what has hap-pened and how he could walk out on her and the children. She is now dam-aged and hurt, but she tries her best to stay focused on taking care of the fam-ily. Without his income, she carries a bigger finan-cial burden and must find another job to supplement the household income.

The children are dev-astated and cannot under-stand how the life they have always known has been torn to pieces based on one simple decision. The children are no longer able to continue with the lifestyle they once knew, and because their mother is working a second job, they spend more time alone (or with an extended family member if one is available) and without both parents. They now have more time to get into trouble, and they are also left vulnerable to look for love and accep-tance in the wrong places.

The trust that has been lost causes the woman to not trust any men, and it causes the children to not trust many things. It affects

their outlook on life – on the role of a man, a parent, on how things are supposed to be in life. The decision of one man, who was hurt-ing and stressed, had affect-ed the lives of not only him, but also those around him. A domino effect.

The domino effect is a chain reaction that oc-curs when a small change causes a similar change nearby, which then causes another similar change, and so on in linear se-quence. The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It typically re-fers to a linked sequence of events where the time be-tween successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics). (Wikipedia)

Let’s look at another example of domino effect situation. Let’s take one of the children from the pre-vious example. The old-est son was in high school when his dad walked out on their family. He was very hurt and angry because his father left his family, and this caused him to put up a very big wall. He became responsible for more – car-ing for his siblings and prematurely becoming the

Camarillo, Calif. – The California State Senate to-day confirmed Gov. Jerry Brown’s appointment of Dr. Wm. Gregory Sawyer, Vice President for Student Affairs at CSU Channel Islands (CI), to the Cali-fornia Student Aid Com-mission (the Commission) with a 4-0 vote. Sawyer, a university administrator and educator for 35 years, will serve as the sole rep-resentative of the CSU system on the 15-member commission.

The Commission is the principal state agency re-sponsible for administering financial aid programs for students attending public and private universities, colleges, and vocational schools in California. The Commission’s mission is to make education beyond high school financially ac-cessible to all Californians. In addition to providing fi-nancial aid policy analysis and leadership, commis-sion members advise state and national elected offi-cials on financial aid issues, and advocate for public and private university systems, students and communities.

“I’m very excited to be able to act as an advocate for the financial aid needs of students in the CSU and throughout the state of

California,” Sawyer said. “As commissioners, it’s our priority to get the mon-ey allocated to those stu-dents who need it as well as to communicate clearly, intentionally and precisely about the process, so ev-eryone who wants to at-tend college understands how to acquire the finan-cial support in order to earn their degree.”

Sawyer, 59, joined CI as its first Vice President for Student Affairs shortly be-fore the University opened its doors in 2002. He helps create, direct and assess co-curricular programs and services that enhance the University experience and encourage learning beyond the classroom. He oversees the Division of Student Affairs (DSA), which in-cludes Associated Students Incorporated, Housing & Residential Education, Stu-dent Life, and Wellness & Athletics, as well as a num-ber of programs that em-phasize leadership, service and diversity.

Affectionately known on campus as “Doc,” Saw-yer makes himself highly visible and accessible to students. He holds a pop-ular semi-annual event called “Smooth Talk with Doc” to answer students’ questions and solicit feed-

back and personally runs student leadership retreats, speech tournaments, the Student Advisory Board on University Life (SABUL), and student assistant train-ing sessions. He’s also a favorite instructor in the Communication depart-ment, where he teaches public speaking cours-es, and in the Psychol-ogy department, where he co-teaches a leadership course.

Before coming to CI in 2002, Sawyer served as founding Dean of Stu-dent Services at Florida Gulf Coast University for seven years and Dean of Students at University of North Texas for five years. He earned a Ph.D. from University of North Texas, an M.A. from Eastern New Mexico University and a B.A. from Mount Union College, in Alliance, Ohio. Sawyer is also a recipient of numerous state, region-al and national awards, including the 2011 Scott Goodnight Award for Out-standing Performance as a Dean/Vice President from the National Association of Student Personnel Ad-ministrators (NASPA).

oxnard High School Marching Band Provides Community with Good, Clean Fun by Hosting Car Wash

The Oxnard High School Marching Band & Auxiliary is sponsoring its “Spring Trip to Disney-land” car wash fundraiser event this Saturday, March 22, 2014 from 9-3 at Ox-nard High School park-ing lot, located at 3400 W. Gonzalez Road in Oxnard. All proceeds from this event will benefit the band and auxiliary to offset the costs for the student’s spring trip to the “Happiest Place on Earth”.

The cost is $7.00 for ANY vehicle and you can purchase tickets from your favorite band student or drive right on in! 100% of all funds raised will go to the students in order to pay their expenses to travel to Disneyland.

“This will be the band’s first spring trip in 4 years. In better times, our band was known as “The World Traveling Yellow Jack-ets Marching Band”. The band has traveled exten-sively in past years to Hawaii, Mexico, Canada and beyond. Due to ongo-ing budget cuts to music education, we have had to cancel spring trip since 2011. These students have been working harder than ever to sell car wash tick-ets for this trip. This car wash fundraiser is the last opportunity for these kids to raise funds to pay for their trip. Although the students plan on a lot of leisure time, the band will be performing at Califor-nia Adventure and will

participate in the Disney Soundtrack Session. Stu-dents will learn what it is like to work as a performer in the recording studio.”

This will be the band’s last major fundraising op-portunity for the 2013-2014 marching band sea-son! Educators, friends, family, band boosters, band alumni – please come out and support your Ox-nard High School March-ing Yellow Jackets and help them get to Disney-land!

Controlling Other Health Issues Reduces Kidney Disease Risk

Keeping your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol in check reduces the risk of developing kidney disease or kidney failure.

By Sandra JordanSome loss of kidney

function occurs naturally over time, usually after age 60. For African Ameri-cans, the leading cause of kidney disease or kidney failure is not old age; it is having high blood pressure or diabetes.

Any of the three prob-lems can exist initially (when it is easier to treat) without any outward symptoms. In addition, all three of them can kill you.

High blood pressure causes artery damage, and the kidneys are artery-rich. Over time, uncontrolled hypertension can cause the arteries around the kid-ney to narrow, weaken or harden, and they will be unable to deliver enough blood to the kidney tis-sue. The American Heart Association said damaged arteries are unable to fil-ter blood very well. While healthy kidneys produce a hormone to help the body regulate its blood pressure, damaged kidneys from high blood pressure are on a downhill spiral.

Diabetes causes damage to nerves and blood vessels. Those small blood ves-sels in the kidneys, when damaged, cause persons to retain more water and salt than necessary, leading to weight gain and ankle swelling, according to the National Kidney Founda-

tion (NKF). When the body has high levels of blood sugar, it makes the kidneys overwork and eventually filter too much blood, said the American Diabetes Association. After many years, those filters in the kidneys start to leak useful protein into the urine. The overwork can cause the kidneys’ filtering ability to give out, and waste prod-ucts build up in the blood, leading to kidney failure or end-stage renal disease, which can only be treated by kidney dialysis or a kid-ney transplant.

Living a heart-healthy lifestyle and managing dia-betes can reduce or prevent the chances of developing kidney disease.

“High blood pressure is more prevalent in African Americans so it is the lead-

ing cause of kidney disease in this population,” said Marie Philipneri, M.D., a nephrologist and associate professor at Saint Louis Uni-versity School of Medicine.

Family medical history is also factor in kidney disease.

Philipneri suggests per-sons with no known risk factors should at least have their blood pressure and blood glucose checked to see if they have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or issues with kidney function.

Screening for kidney disease is straightforward.

“You do a blood test; a urinalysis will tell us if there is any protein in the urine, blood in the urine or any abnormal sediments,” Philipneri said. “We check the protein to creatinine ra-tio and that gives us an idea

Covered California Begins Countdown to Final Days to Enroll in Health Plans

SACRAMENTO, CA — With the famous Olvera Street in Los Angeles as the backdrop, Covered Cali-fornia™ and the Califor-nia Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) an-nounced today that more than 3 million Californians have signed up for health coverage through Covered California or Medi-Cal since Oct. 1. During the mid-day multicultural rally, officials from Covered Cal-ifornia and DHCS encour-aged all consumers, par-ticularly those who don’t qualify for Medi-Cal, to enroll as soon as possible in health insurance coverage, to beat the expected last-minute rush of applications.

The number of consum-ers selecting a Covered California health insurance plan reached 880,082 by the end of February — in-cluding 762,174 consum-ers who are eligible for subsidies. The five-month enrollment figure exceeds by more than 300,000 the base projection for Covered California for the entire six-month enrollment period, which ends March 31.

The surge continues this month, with total enroll-ment in Covered Califor-nia health insurance plans reaching 923,832 through March 9.

Additionally, 1,136,000 exchange applicants were determined to be likely eli-

gible for Medi-Cal cover-age. This number reflects new Medi-Cal applicants as well as some ongoing case-load eligibility activity that is conducted via the Cov-ered California Web portal.

“We are rolling toward a strong finish, but we’re here to encourage consum-ers to not wait until March 31 to join the millions of Californians who have al-ready found their pathway to affordable coverage, and enroll today,” said Covered California Executive Direc-tor Peter V. Lee, referring to the end of the inaugural open-enrollment period under the historic Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. “We’re build-ing momentum on many fronts: among Latinos, among young people and in communities through-out the state. Californians’ desire for health insurance to protect themselves and their families is building on friends telling friends and family telling family.”

Lee said insurance companies are reporting that 85 percent of all en-rollees have paid their first month’s premium.

In addition to the 1,136,000 applicants de-termined likely eligible for Medi-Cal coverage through the Covered Cali-fornia Web portal, 968,500 individuals have already enrolled for Medi-Cal cov-

erage. They include ap-proximately 650,000 for-mer Low Income Health Program (LIHP) members transitioned to Medi-Cal by DHCS, 134,000 in-dividuals who applied through the state’s Express Lane program and an-other 184,500 individuals enrolled directly through county human services agencies, which play a crit-ical role in the processing and approval of all Medi-Cal applications, includ-ing those received through Covered California.

“It is evident by this tre-mendous response that many Californians have long been waiting for this kind of op-portunity to get quality health care coverage,” said DHCS Director Toby Douglas. “We’re grateful for the tre-mendous efforts of our county partners, and we look forward to continuing our year-round enrollment work that makes health coverage possible for more Californians.”

February saw a contin-ued increase in the number of Latinos enrolled — from 119,835 at the end of Janu-ary to 153,561 through the end of February. DHCS also reported strong Latino participation among those found likely to be eligible for Medi-Cal enrollment. Through Feb. 28, 431,680 of those found likely eligi-ble for Medi-Cal coverage,

Chris Johnson

By Aaron Wilson Former Tennessee Ti-

tans linebacker Keith Bul-luck didn't have a positive opinion about Titans star

running back Chris John-son's attitude.

Bulluck expressed dis-approval with Johnson not going to the Titans' offices

to meet head coach Ken Whisenhunt during a Mid-day 180 interview.

Johnson rushed for just 1,077 yards last season and is due an $8 million base salary that has endangered his roster status.

“If I wanted to be there and it was important to me, I would make it my duty — especially considering I have a house there — I would make it my business to get in and say, ‘Look, what’s going on, blah, blah, blah,'" Bulluck said. "Even if I’m not going to be on the team, just to meet him. It’s just professionalism. But, I will say, different strokes for different folks. Some people are too cool for school, some people don’t get it, they don’t get how things work. You know, CJ’s been there a while.

“He’s a friend of mine but when it comes to ath-lete, he’s a ‘me’ person. He’s a ‘me’ person when it comes to the athlete. For the years that he’s been there, it’s never been his fault why he didn’t have a good running game or why he didn’t have a good game. It was always some-body else’s fault.”

Ronda Rousey Floyd Mayweather Jr.

By Ron DickerThink a promoter

wouldn't drool at the pros-pect of a battle of the sexes?

Unbeaten UFC wom-en's bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey has a strat-egy ready if she ever finds herself in the octagon with unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. Asked if she could handle May-weather in an MMA match during a recent interview with Power 106 FM, Rous-ey explained her plan of at-tack.

While Rousey (9-0) is the face of female combat sports, light middleweight champ Mayweather (45-0 ) -- who has a 17-pound, 6-inch reach advantage over the 135-pound Rous-ey -- is considered by many to be the best boxer,

pound for pound.In explaining what her

strategy would be, Rousey said she would stay low to the ground to approach Mayweather. "I would just

bear crawl over there, too low for him to hit me, and tackle him down," she said.

But she tells it a lot more colorfully.

Rashard Mendenhall

Adrian Peterson and Michael Vick

By Chris Greenberg Adrian Peterson be-

lieves he knows what it will take to return the Min-nesota Vikings to the play-offs: Michael Vick. The 2012 NFL MVP shared this theory on Twitter on Wednesday just hours af-ter it was reported that the Philadelphia Eagles were not interested in bringing back the veteran quarter-back.

The tweet appeared to be a response to a question posed by @NFLNetwork about the newly available Vick.

Citing unnamed team and league sources, Ja-son La Canfora of CBS Sports reported earlier on Wednesday that the Eagles are not interested in bring-ing back Vick, a free agent, in 2014. Vick opened the Eagles' 2013 season as the starter but was eventually supplanted by Nick Foles. Injured in a Week 5 win over the New York Giants, Vick would only appear in six games during the 2013 campaign, throwing for 1,216 yards and five touch-downs. He led the Eagles to NFC East title during a stellar 2010 season but has since struggled to stay on the field.

Even with Vick's injury issues in recent seasons,

Peterson seems to con-sider him a step above the players tasked with hand-ing him the ball in recent years. Peterson played with a rotating cast of un-reliable signal-callers in 2013 as Josh Freeman, Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel all started games. When Peterson did drag the Vikings into the 2012 postseason, the team was forced to start Joe Webb after an injury to Ponder.

"We are going to get some quarterbacks; obvi-ously (Matt Cassel and

Josh Freeman) are free agents and (Christian) Pon-der is still on the roster," Vikings coach Mike Zim-mer said at the NFL Scout-ing Combine in February. "But we have to have a quarterback, so we are go-ing to have to find some, and that is why we are out here looking so hard and why we'll continue to look in free agency. We'll find a guy."

It would seem that Pe-terson thinks he already found that guy.

Free-agent running back Rashard Mendenhall is retiring from the NFL after six seasons. He an-nounced his retirement in a blog post titled "Why I Re-tired At 26" published on Sunday at The Huffington Post.

The truth is, I don't real-ly think my walking away is that big of deal. For me it's saying, "Football was pretty cool, but I don't want to play anymore. I want to travel the world and write!" However as I told the people around me that I wasn't planning on signing again, there was a surpris-ing amount of shock and bewilderment.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Saturday night

that NFL teams had been told Mendenhall is retir-ing.

The 23rd overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, Men-denhall spent his first five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He recorded two

straight 1,000-yard seasons in 2009 and 2010, but tore his ACL at the end of the 2011 campaign. Follow-ing the injury, Mendenhall struggled to stay healthy and was suspended by the Steelers in December 2012 for conduct detrimental to the team.

Mendenhall signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals before the 2013 season, in which he had 217 carries for 687 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.

The 26-year-old may have hinted at retirement in a moving blog post ti-tled "The Vision," which he wrote for The Huffing-ton Post in February 2014.

By Ives GalarcepThere was plenty for

Jurgen Klinsmann to pon-der after the U.S. national team loss to Ukraine. From Fabian Johnson's ineffec-tiveness on the wing, to Clint Dempsey's uninspir-ing outing in a playmak-ing role, to Jozy Altidore's quiet showing, Klinsmann has far more negatives to digest than positives, of which there were few.

What Klinsmann did get were answers. Loud and clear answers on some players who he obviously still had questions about. Players he still held out hope could potentially make the U.S. World Cup team. Players who left little doubt that the 2014 World Cup is better left to other options.

If nothing, Klinsmann is thorough, and he gives his players plenty of rope to save themselves or hang themselves, Several play-ers on the World Cup roster fringes saw their dreams of a trip to Brazil fade.

You can start with Ed-gar Castillo, who has shown an inability defend well against top competi-tion. Castillo was hopeless, caught out of position re-peatedly as he kept looking for opportunities to bomb forward and show off the

one trait he does bring to the table. The problem for Castillo is that he had better have the attacking qualities of Roberto Carlos if he's going to be as big a defen-sive liability as he has re-peatedly proven to be.

Castillo's inclusion in the starting lineup was a chance for him to prove he belonged, but also a chance to let Fabian Johnson show what he could do in a wing midfield role. Johnson was largely ineffective on the flank, but Castillo's latest defensive disaster means Klinsmann doesn't have a viable left-back option to backup DaMarcus Beasley besides Fabian Johnson. That is unless Tim Chan-dler recovers from his torn meniscus, plays well in the

final weeks of the Bundes-liga season and earns an invitation to the May pre-World Cup training camp.

You know Castillo played poorly when the alternative of considering players who are coming off knee surgery is preferred to seeing Castillo again.

Sacha Kljestan also did significant damage to his chances at a World Cup place with what was a lackluster showing in cen-tral midfield. His partner-ship with Jermaine Jones was supposed to allow him to show off the attacking side of his game, but he not only failed to produce much in the way of dan-gerous attacking passes, he also failed to close down Ukrainian midfielders.

Will the SaT Have to Change again?

These are The Most educated States and neighborhoods in america

One out of every two people living in Washing-ton, D.C. has a college de-gree, a rate far surpassing any state in the country.

Of course, it can be a little unfair to compare one city that is the center of government power with far larger states. Among the states, the Common-wealth of Massachusetts takes the top slot as most educated, which may come as little surprise too, con-sidering how many great colleges are located in the Boston area.

This ranking is accord-ing to an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by FindTheBest. The website ranked the states and D.C. based on the percentage of residents holding a four year degree.

The top three are Wash-ington DC (50.5%), Mas-sachusetts (38.7%) and Colorado (36.3%). The

bottom three are West Vir-ginia (17.6%), Arkansas (19.6%) and Mississippi (19.7%).

FindTheBest also nar-rowed down this data based on neighborhoods in an interactive table. Their analysis shows the most educated neighbor-hoods in the country are West Los Angeles, North Chicago, Northwest

Washington, D.C., Mid-town Manhattan, North-ern San Diego, Southwest San Francisco and South-east Denver.

(Note: The neighbor-hood ranking did not get specific enough to differ-entiate between George-town and DuPont in D.C., or between Turtle Bay and Hell's Kitchen in NYC)

The College Board made waves when it announced the most substantial SAT re-visions since 2005. The over-haul marks the organization’s response to criticisms of the test and increasing calls for accurate measures of col-lege- and career-readiness. It comes at a time when a set of national K-12 standards with a similar goal is facing backlash in some states and communities.

Among the revisions is the elimination of the third writing portion, which was added 9 years ago to the math and reading sections, and increased the full SAT score to 2400. The new version of the college en-trance exam will instead include an optional essay section and bring back the 1600-point scale. The new SAT will also pull back on the exam’s infamous test-ing of tough vocabulary in favor of “words that

are widely used in college and career.” Fewer math sections of the exam will permit calculator use, and students will no longer be penalized a quarter point for incorrect answers in an effort to eliminate the use of guess-based testing strategies sold by private test-prep companies.

College Board leaders say the latest move is an

effort to more precisely predict college- and career-readiness, also the tagline for the Common Core -- a set of K-12 standards aimed at creating a com-mon set of expectations for students across the country, but is adopted and implemented by individual states. So far, 45 states and Washington, D.C. have ad-opted the new standards.

Community Panel to Hold First Meeting on Nuclear Plant Decommissioning

ROSEMEAD, Calif. — The public is invited to at-tend the first meeting on March 25 of a new Com-munity Engagement Panel (CEP) formed to advise on decommissioning the San Onofre nuclear plant. The meeting will be from 6 to 9 p.m. at the San Clemente Community Center, 100 N. Calle Seville, San Clemente.

Southern California Ed-ison (SCE) and the co-own-ers of the nuclear plant es-tablished the CEP to serve as a conduit of information between the owners and the public throughout decom-missioning. The CEP is based on the guiding prin-ciples of safety, steward-ship and engagement es-tablished by San Onofre’s owners to decommission the nuclear plant.

“Public engagement is essential to our goal to de-commission San Onofre in a transparent and inclusive way,” said Chris Thomp-son, SCE vice president of Decommissioning. The first CEP meeting will include an overview of plans to dis-mantle the facility in 15 to

20 years, as well as a public comment period. Members of the public also may sign up on the plant’s website to receive regular e-mail up-dates about San Onofre’s decommissioning.

The chairman of the 18-member CEP is David G. Victor, a University of California, San Diego pro-fessor and expert on energy markets. Panel representa-tives include the American Nuclear Society, California State Parks, Camp Pend-leton, Capistrano Unified School District, Coalition to Decommission San On-ofre, Ocean Institute, Or-ange County Coastkeeper, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, organized la-bor, South Orange County Economic Coalition and the University of Califor-nia, Irvine. Also represent-ed are the boards of super-visors for Orange County and San Diego and the cit-ies of Dana Point, Oceans-ide, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano.

CEP updates will be available on www.song-scommunity.com, along

with information about CEP members and the de-commissioning process, in-cluding Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversight.

The current owners of San Onofre are SCE, San Diego Gas & Electric and the city of Riverside. The city of Anaheim is a pre-vious owner. Current and previous owners are re-sponsible for decommis-sioning.

SCE announced June 7 that it would retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3, and begin preparations to decommission the facil-ity. For more information about SCE, visit www.songscommunity.com.about Southern Califor-nia edison

An Edison International (NYSE:EIX) company, Southern California Edi-son is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, serving a population of nearly 14 million via 4.9 million customer accounts in a 50,000-square-mile service area within Cen-tral, Coastal and Southern California.

The high-pressure tac-tics include threatening SCE customers with dis-connection of their elec-tricity.

Utility bill scammers are once again targeting customers throughout the United States by phone and sometimes even email. In both scenarios, the scam-mers often request person-al information and threaten to cut off electrical service if they do not receive im-mediate payment.

Some Southern Califor-nia Edison (SCE) custom-ers have reported receiving these suspicious emails that look like a bill. Others have reported aggressive phone scams threatening immedi-ate service disconnection if customers don’t pay a pur-ported overdue bill.

“SCE never uses high-pressure tactics to collect or demand money for past due bills,” said Marlyn Denter, SCE’s manager of Consumer Affairs. “We are not in the business of threatening our customers with the immediate termi-nation of service.”

This latest email scam follows a recent util-ity phone scam where more than 2,000 SCE customers were targeted. Unfortunate-ly, more than 300 custom-ers have fallen victim to the scam, many of them mom and pop business owners and entrepreneurs whose

first language is not English.The scammers often

demand immediate pay-ment through a prepaid cash card or debit card. The average loss for SCE business customers last year was between $800 and $1,000; residential customer lost an average of between $300 and $500. Overall, the total losses so far for SCE customers are estimated at $225,000.

“We ask our customers to be alert to these scams that demand immediate payment and threaten ser-vice disconnection,” said Denter.

If SCE customers re-ceive suspicious emails, they should never click on any links or attachments, and never send a reply. Customers should also delete the email. If a cus-tomer has been victimized, they can report it online to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force at StopFraud.gov.

SCE customers suspect-ing a fraudulent call should ask for the caller’s name, department and business phone number. If the call-er refuses to provide this information, customers should terminate the call and report the incident im-mediately to local police.

In either situation, cus-tomers should contact SCE at 800-655-4555.

Assemblymember Das Williams

Assemblyman Jeff Gorell

SACRAMENTO – As-semblymember Das Wil-liams is celebrating the state Department of Finance’s decision to let Santa Barbara County retain three former Redevelopment Agency properties in Isla Vista.

The Department of Fi-nance approved the Suc-cessor Agency (County of Santa Barbara) and Over-sight Board’s Long Range Property Management Plan, which allows the buildings to be retained by the County of Santa Barbara.

“I spent part of my youth in Isla Vista, so saving these buildings was of extreme importance to me,” Wil-liams, D-Santa Barbara said. “These properties belong in the hands of the County, and most importantly, the com-munity members who use

them. We can now work to-gether to decide how these buildings work best for the community.”

Williams’ staff worked successfully to bring to-gether stakeholders to strengthen the plan present-ed to the state Department

of Finance, which has ap-proval authority. The three properties, known as the Church Building (976 Em-barcadero del Mar), Clinic Building (970 Embarcade-ro del Mar), and Solar Car Park (881 Embarcadero del Mar) will remain un-der local control. The adja-cent parcels of the Church and Clinic Buildings have long been discussed by the community as the possible future site of an Isla Vista Community Center.

“When people work to-gether and do what’s right for the community, anything is possible,” Williams said. “I am proud of my constitu-ents and members of local and state government who understood the importance of saving these buildings for the public good.”

Sacramento, CA – As-semblyman Jeff Gorell (R-Camarillo) today honored Tamara Howard as the 2014 Woman of the Year for the 44th Assembly Dis-trict during a ceremony in Sacramento at the state capitol. A multi-faceted community volunteer, Ms. Howard is known locally for her work with veterans and senior groups.

“I’m excited to be able to help recognize Tamara Howard for her tireless spirit and contributions to our community,” stat-ed Assemblyman Gorell. “The energy she brings to her volunteerism helps en-courage others to give of themselves as well.”

“I am deeply honored to receive the ‘Woman of

the Year’ designation from Assemblyman Jeff Gore-ll,” said Tamara Howard. “It’s a privilege to be in our State’s Capitol and to be among outstanding and committed women that were chosen to represent their communities.”

Held annually, the Woman of the Year cer-emony celebrates Califor-nia’s extraordinary women. Started in 1987 to help commemorate Women’s History Month, the event has become an annual Cap-itol tradition to salute com-munity service. Honorees are presented with a framed certificate from the State Assembly recognizing their outstanding contributions during a special ceremony in the Assembly chambers.

Brown (D-San Bernardi-no), in collaboration with the California Legislative Black Caucus, the Cali-fornia Optometric Asso-ciation (COA) and UCLA, have started a campaign to induct legendary actor and football star Woody Strode into the California Hall of Fame. Last week, Assemblymember Brown appeared on the television program Sacramento and Company to promote Mr. Strode’s candidacy.

“I would like to thank the Black Caucus, COA and the UCLA for their partnership in this endeav-or,” Brown said. “Woody Strode was an extraordi-nary Californian who pio-

neered a path for African Americans to participate in the NFL and Hollywood. It is appropriate for him to be inducted into the Califor-nia Hall of Fame.”

Strode was born in

Los Angeles in 1914, and helped integrate college football on the West Coast along with teammates Jack-ie Robinson and Kenny Washington. Following his college career, he served in the Pacific Theater during WWII. After returning to California, he and Kenny Washington integrated the modern NFL by playing for the Los Angeles Rams. After retiring from football, he acted for fifty years ap-pearing in over 90 films. He co-starred opposite leg-endary actors such as Kirk Douglas, John Wayne, Jim-my Stewart, and Clint East-wood. Letters in support of Strode’s candidacy have already been submitted by Douglas and Eastwood.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee

In her role as the US Representative of the United States to the United Nations, Congresswom-an Barbara Lee attended meetings at the United Na-tions surrounding the 58th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women.

In addition to several events, Congresswoman Lee joined a panel spon-sored by the Permanent missions of Latvia and Po-land to discuss women, the economy, health, and po-litical participation.

An excerpt from her re-marks is below:

“Finally, as it relates to political participation, let me just say—it has been less than 100 years since the first woman was elect-

ed to the U.S. Congress. In fact, our last election,

in 2013, was hailed as a “historic” year, with more women elected to congres-sional seats than ever.

Yet, women in our own country continue to struggle for representation and equality in politics.

Shamefully, the US ranks 79th in the word in terms of women representation.

Of 535 seats in the United States Congress, 101 are held by women. That is less than 20% even though women compose just over 50% of the U.S. population.

We know that we've made real gains, but the truth is that we are not close to achieving the parity we need. Underrepresentation is even more pronounced for women of color, with them composing less than 6% of Congress.

My own personal pas-sion stems in large part from my remarkable men-tor, Congresswoman Shirley

Holder promised Monday to address the recent rise in heroin overdoses with enhanced enforcement and treatment initiatives in his weekly video address.

Heroin overdose deaths increased by 45 percent be-tween 2004 and 2010. Hold-er called the rise an "urgent public health crisis," assert-ing the Justice Department's commitment to confronting the issue head on.

"Addiction to heroin and other opiates – including certain prescription pain-killers – is impacting the lives of Americans in every state, in every region, and from every background and walk of life – and all too

often, with deadly results," Holder said.

"Confronting this crisis will require a combination of enforcement and treat-ment. The Justice Depart-

By Brian BakstST. PAUL, Minn. — A

Minnesota lawmaker apol-ogized for his tweet about NBA players that some saw as racist, saying he was rightly held account-able for inaccurate stereo-typing.

State Rep. Pat Garofa-lo, a fifth-term Republican from the St. Paul suburb of Farmington, tweeted Sun-day night: "Let's be hon-est, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + no-body would notice a differ-ence w/ possible exception of increase in streetcrime."

Garofalo initially stuck by his words even after they drew hundreds of negative comments and more than 1,000 retweets,

insisting they were misin-terpreted.

But in his statement, he said he'd reconsidered.

"I sincerely apologize to those who I unfairly catego-rized," said Garofalo, who's seeking a sixth term in the fall. "The NBA has many

examples of players and owners who are role models for our communities and for our country. Those individu-als did not deserve that criti-cism and I apologize."

About three-fourths of the NBA's players are black, according to a 2013 report card from The Insti-tute for Diversity and Eth-ics in Sport.

Garofalo also apologized for remarks about the NBA's policy on drug enforcement, saying it was stronger than he believed. The NBA is the only pro league in the U.S. that randomly tests players for marijuana four times per year.

Later, he told reporters that he didn't have a racial motivation for the tweet.

Crystal Jackson and her girlfriend Britney Cosby

Authorities have made a disturbing arrest in the alleged murder of a Texas lesbian couple.

James Larry Cosby, 46, has been charged with two counts of tampering with evidence in connec-tion with the death of his daughter, Britney Cosby, and her girlfriend Crystal Jackson, both 24, accord-ing to KHOU. He is cur-rently being held in the Galveston County Jail on a total of $500,000.00 bonds.

Meanwhile, the Galves-ton County Sheriff’s Of-fice told local ABC affili-ate KTRK that the alleged murders of both women appear to have taken place in James Cosby’s home. Britney Cosby reportedly died from blunt force trau-ma, while Crystal Jackson was shot, according to the news channel.

Earlier last week, James Cosby spoke to KTRK in regard to his daughter’s death. “You can’t really put something like this into words,” he said at the time.

A beer deliveryman discovered the bodies of Britney Cosby and Jack-

son next to a dumpster outside of the Fisherman’s Cove store in Port Bolivar, Texas. Deputies say the woman were involved in a romantic relationship and had traveled to Galveston to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Jackson was a mother to a five-year-old girl, ac-cording to reports.

“Just come forward, just to give us closure as a family,” McDade Cos-by, Britney’s sister, told KTRK at the time. “Just come forward, because we need closure at this point.”

Louisiana man who has spent nearly three decades on death row walked free after prosecutors asked a judge to set aside his first-degree murder conviction and death sentence, citing new evidence in the case that exonerated him.

Glenn Ford, 64, a black man, was convicted by an all-white jury in the 1983 robbery and murder of Isa-dore Rozeman, a 56-year-old Shreveport watchmak-er, who was found shot to death behind the counter of his jewelry shop.

Acting on new informa-tion that exonerated Ford, a judge in Shreveport or-dered him released from Louisiana State Peniten-tiary in Angola, where he has been held on death row since March 1985.

“We are very pleased to see Glenn Ford finally ex-onerated, and we are par-ticularly grateful that the prosecution and the court moved ahead so decisively to set Mr. Ford free,” said Gary Clements and Aaron Novod, attorneys for Ford from the Capital Post Con-viction Project of Louisiana.

Ford, a California na-

tive who did occasional yard work for Rozeman, was found guilty in 1984 and was sentenced to die by electrocution, then the state’s method of execu-tion.

For three decades, Ford has maintained his inno-cence and filed multiple appeals, most of which were denied.

But in 2000, the Loui-siana Supreme Court or-dered an evidentiary hear-ing on Ford’s claim that the prosecution suppressed favorable evidence related

don’t Forfeit Past Tax refunds

By Jason Alderman

Does this sound famil-iar? A few years back your yearly earnings were pret-ty low so you figured you wouldn't owe any income tax. Thus, when April 15 rolled around the follow-ing year you didn't bother filing a tax return, knowing you wouldn't be penalized.

Big mistake.Even if your income

fell below the threshold at which you'd owe anything, chances are taxes were deducted from your pay-check throughout the year. (Check your year-end W-2 form). If so, you probably left a sizeable tax refund on the table.

And you wouldn't be alone. The IRS estimates that each year close to a million people don't bother filing federal tax returns, thereby forfeiting around $1 billion in refunds they were due – refunds that av-erage several hundred dol-lars apiece.

Here's the good news: The IRS generally gives you a three-year window to go back and file a past year's tax return if you want to claim an unpaid re-fund. For example, to col-lect a refund for 2010 you have until April 15, 2014, to file a 2010 return. After that, the money becomes the property of the U.S. Treasury.

Supersize That House? new Homes Get Bigger

As most people know, the real estate market shifts between a buyers' or sellers' market, depending on sup-ply and demand. However, regardless of which market we're currently in, buyer etiquette can help you get the home you want with the least amount of stress.

It may sound odd to some, especially first-time homebuyers, but manners matter when it comes to the real estate transaction. I'm not talking about "Please" and "Thank you." So, what exactly does this mean?

Buyer etiquette is not only about doing the things that are vital to helping sales go through but it's also about general man-ners like being on time for your viewing of a home, being prepared with your financial documents, and being responsive when requests for documents, signatures, or answers are needed from your real es-tate professionals.

Buyer Etiquette:How to Get the

Home you WantBy Phoebe Chongchua

(NewsUSA) - They are called "silent destroyers." Able to chomp away unde-tected at the flooring, walls and even wallpaper of a home, termites cost U.S. homeowners approximate-ly $5 billion in property damage each year, accord-ing to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). This damage is not usually covered by tra-ditional homeowners' in-surance.

Looking for the signs of an infestation is most important in the spring. This is when male and female swarmers -- the colony's reconnaissance team -- emerge from their winter spots to scout out a new home for their colony, which can include millions of termites.

These swarmers shed their wings when they've found a suitable home, leaving signs of their pres-ence around windows and doors. But because swarm-ing termites are often mis-taken for flying ants, many homeowners don't recog-nize these wings as the first sign of a termite infestation.

Many people think their homes are safe if they've never experienced infes-tations before or if their

homes previously passed inspections in recent years, but termites are de-termined, and depending on the species, they can cause serious damage in short order. "Termites are found all throughout the United States and can be rather difficult to control once an infestation takes root," says Jim Fredericks, chief entomologist for the NPMA. "Some species are more aggressive than oth-ers, such as conehead ter-mites found in southern states like Florida. They forage over the ground in-stead of under it, allowing them to spread very quick-ly if left unchecked."

In recognition of Ter-mite Awareness Week (March 16-22), the NPMA is sharing a list of common termite species that home-owners should look out for this spring:

• Subterranean termites build very distinctive mud tunnels as protection from the open air. They are found in all regions of the United States and can be some of the most destruc-tive because they eat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• Formosan termites are found in warmer climates such as Hawaii, North

Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Flori-da, Tennessee and Califor-nia. They are an invasive species, originally from China, and are known to be one of the most aggressive species of termites.

• Drywood termites are also usually found in south-ern states along coastal areas from South Caro-lina westward to Texas and California. This species is unique in that it doesn't re-quire contact with the soil. Drywood termites form new colonies by gaining access to structures through small holes and infesting attic framings.

• Dampwood termites require humidity and con-stant contact with water. They are most common along the Pacific coast and neighboring states as well as southern Florida. Because of their specific needs, dampwood termites are usually found in struc-tures with wooden siding or leaky roofs.

If you believe you may have a termite infestation, contact a pest management professional immediately. For additional information and prevention tips, visit www.pestworld.org.

homes comes after hous-ing sizes bottomed out in 2009.

The NAHB says build-ers are meeting the de-mands of their customers, who have a much higher

credit score and a higher median income than in 2007. The average new-home sale price rose to $318,000 in 2013 from $248,000 in 2009.

viewing of a listing could cause you to lose that par-ticular home. In a really hot real estate market, if you're late or you don't show up for the listing, you might not get a second chance - the home could be sold.

Another consideration is to be aware of how much time you need to view a home. If you try to see too many homes in one day, chances are you're not going to treat each home with the same respect. The first homes might get lots of attention by you in terms of time and what you notice. However, by the time you're on, say, 15th home of the day, you might be so tired that you blaze through it barely giv-ing this last home the at-tention it deserves. You'll end up wasting your time and potentially making a poor choice because you were worn out when you viewed it. Instead, you may have to return to the last few homes you viewed that day. While it's often expected to return to a home you're very interest-ed in, it's time-consuming to have to return to several homes simply because you

weren't able to focus or pay attention in great detail.

One of the most im-portant etiquette tips is to make sure that you've been pre-approved and are a se-rious buyer, ready to take action should you find the right home. Shopping for homes is serious business. It's likely the largest mon-etary transaction you'll make; being financially and emotionally prepared is good etiquette and will help expedite the process.

When viewing a home, if the sellers are present (sometimes this happens), don't share your likes or dislikes about the home with them. Be courteous and keep the conversation to a minimum with the sellers. You want to make sure you leave the negotia-tion process to your expe-rienced real estate agent. If you have questions about the home, be sure to take good notes and consult with

By Bryant K. JenkinsIn today’s world of high

finance, managing your credit is a key to financial success. The first step is to know your FICO score and how it is impacted by your credit activities. The better your FICO score, the more

attractive you are not only to lenders but employers, and insurance companies. When you purchase auto insurance, your credit plays a part in determin-ing your final premium. Additionally, employers include credit evaluations

in making decisions to hire employees.

A credit score can range from a low of 300 to a high of 850. A score of 720 or higher is considered a good score. Anything below 600 is considered poor. Ac-tivities that influence your score are payment history, amount owed, length of credit history, new credit and type of credit owed.

To improve you credit score it will be important to check your credit report. You can request a free copy of your report by visiting website www.annualcre-ditreport.com and FICO score from www.myfico.com. It is imperative you review the report in detail to make sure it is accurate and does not have errors that can bring your score down.

Next, pay your bills on time. Using your bank’s on-line banking portal can al-low you to set up automatic payments. These portals will also provide you with email reminders to pay your bills. Additionally, reduce the amount of debt you owe and focus on debt that has the highest interest rates first. These high rates cost you more in interest.

Be careful of companies that claim that they can repair your credit. These companies can do nothing

tax forms at www.irs.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676). If you're missing any supplementary paperwork (e.g., W-2 or 1099 forms), you'll need to request cop-ies from your employer, bank or other payer. If that doesn't work, file IRS Form 4506-T to request a free transcript showing in-formation from these year-end documents.

Keep in mind that if you file to collect a refund on your 2010 taxes but have not also filed tax returns for 2011 and 2012, the IRS may hold onto the refund until you file those subse-quent returns. Also, past refunds will be applied to any amounts you still owe to the IRS or your state tax agency, and may be used to offset unpaid child support or past-due federal debts, such as student loans.

Another good reason to consider going back and filing a previous year's tax return: the Earned In-come Tax Credit (EITC). Chances are, if the reason you didn't file a return was because you didn't earn enough to owe taxes, you may have been eligible for the EITC, a "refund-able" tax credit for low- to moderate income working taxpayers. ("Refundable" means that if you owe less in tax than your eligible

credit, you not only pay no tax but also get a refund for the difference.)

As an example, for tax year 2010, a married couple filing jointly with three or more qualifying children whose adjusted gross income was less than $48,263 were eligible for an EITC of up to $5,666. To find out how EITC works and whether you qualify, consult IRS.gov.

For the rest of us, April 15 looms as the deadline for filing our 2013 taxes. At the very least you should request a filing extension by then; otherwise the pen-alty on any taxes you owe increases dramatically.

Typically you'll have to pay an additional 5 per-cent of taxes owed for each full or partial month you're late, plus interest, up to a maximum penalty of 25 percent. However, if you file your return or request an extension on time, the penalty drops tenfold to 0.5 percent per month, plus interest.

Bottom line: If you skipped filing a tax return in the last three years, go back and crunch the numbers – you may be pleasantly sur-prised by a hefty refund.

Think Teeth! Help your Children reduce the risk of Tooth decay

Brushing twice a day is big step toward preventing tooth decay in children.

(NewsUSA) - Did you know that tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children in the United States? The good news is it can be pre-vented. This year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) wants to remind parents to "think teeth."

Parents can help chil-dren combat cavities and tooth decay by practicing good daily oral hygiene -- even at an early age. Ask your pediatrician about your baby's oral health at the six-month check-up. And start regular dental check-ups beginning at age one.reducing risk of Tooth decay

"Children's access to dental services is essen-tial to maintaining good oral health and reducing the risk of tooth decay," says Dr. Lynn D. Mouden,

Chief Dental Officer with HHS' Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal government agency that oversees Medicaid and Children's Health Insur-ance Program (CHIP). "If children don't already have dental coverage, they may be eligible for Medicaid or

CHIP, which includes teeth cleanings, check-ups, x-rays, fluoride, dental seal-ants and fillings."

Tooth decay is caused by bacteria interacting with sugars in the mouth. The bacteria can be passed from parent to child when, for example, they share spoons or cups. If untreat-ed, this dental disease can result in difficulty eating and speaking, and can in-terfere with physical and social development and school performance. Tooth decay can be prevented. Using a fluoride varnish, fluoride painted on the teeth, protects "baby" teeth. Dental sealants, plastic coatings that keep bacteria and sugars away from areas most likely to decay, protect back teeth.

"Simple steps to help prevent tooth decay can be-gin when a child is a baby,"

Four Ways to Stay Fit with Sickle Cell

new Blood Test May Predict alzheimer’s, dementia risk

How Boomers Can Get a Good night’s Sleep

By Sandria WashingtonChronic pain is one of

the most common com-plications of sickle cell disease (SCD). Avoiding activities that can trigger a full blown pain “episode” or “crisis” is key to staying healthy and out of the ER, and for some, this includes avoiding exercise. But, it doesn’t have to.

Strenuous exercise, like taking a boot camp class or hiking, reduces oxygen levels in the blood and may cause red blood cells to sickle. The cells become hard and sticky C shapes and as they travel through tiny blood vessels, they can become stuck and painfully clog blood flow. Low – to moderate-impact exercise, on the other hand, can help to increase oxy-gen, keep blood circulat-ing and flowing smoothly and help to alleviate pain symptoms.

Here are four ways to stay fit and make exercise

a safe part of your sickle cell crisis prevention.

1. Drink LOTS of wa-ter: Dehydration – a loss of fluid – can slow down the blood flow in the body, in-creasing the chance of hav-ing a pain episode. Stay well hydrated at all times, but particularly before, during and after a workout.

2. Walking: The CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, and research has shown there are several

health benefits to walking at least 30 minutues a day. If keeping a slow, steady pace, oxygen consumption will also stay steady.

3. Yoga: Stress can be a sickle cell pain trigger and the practice of yoga is proven to relieve stress in the mind, body and spirit. Learning to breathe proper-ly is a large part of the yoga practice and the increased oxygen intake helps the cir-culation of blood.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration al-lowed marketing of the first device as a preventa-tive treatment for migraine headaches. This is also the first transcutaneous elec-trical nerve stimulation (TENS) device specifically authorized for use prior to the onset of pain.

“Cefaly provides an alternative to medication for migraine prevention,” said Christy Foreman, director of the Office of Device Evaluation at the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “This may help patients who cannot tolerate cur-rent migraine medications for preventing migraines or treating attacks.”

Migraine headaches are characterized by intense pulsing or throbbing pain in one area of the head, ac-companied by nausea or vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. A migraine can last from four to 72 hours when left untreated. According to the National Institutes of Health, these debilitating headaches af-fect approximately 10 per-cent of people worldwide

By Candy SagonA simple blood test that

a researcher says could be a “game changer” in accu-rately predicting whether older adults will develop dementia could also raise a painful dilemma: With no effective treatment for Alzheimer’s, how useful is a test that shows you’re at high risk of developing an incurable disease?

The experimental test, developed by researchers at six universities, was 90 percent accurate at predict-ing whether adults age 70 and older would develop either mild cognitive im-pairment or Alzheimer’s within two to three years. The study was published online Sunday in the jour-nal Nature Medicine.

The test measures the levels of 10 lipids, or fats, in the bloodstream. Low lev-els signal a person is likely to suffer cognitive impair-ment, said researchers with Georgetown University, one of the medical centers in-volved in the research.

Lead researcher How-

ard Federoff, M.D., Ex-ecutive Vice President for Health Sciences at George-town, told NPR the test would be an easy way for older people to determine their risk of dementia, and would be a “game chang-er” if researchers can find a drug to slow down or cure the disease.

The idea, he said, is to identify those at risk early, when treatment might be more effective at protect-ing the brain, rather than waiting until the damage is already underway.

The new study involved

525 healthy adults age 70 and over who were given blood tests annually for five years. During those years, 74 developed mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s. Researchers then compared their blood with those who remained mentally healthy to see what was different. What they found was the demen-tia group had lower levels of a group of 10 lipids than did the healthy group.

To measure the accuracy of these lipids at predicting dementia, researchers then ALZHEIMER’S, See page 12A

By Elizabeth O'BrienAaahhh, sleep. Is there

anything as necessary and, for so many, as elusive as a good night’s rest?

About 70 million Amer-icans suffer from chronic sleep problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sleep deprivation is asso-ciated with injuries, weight gain, chronic diseases, and just plain crankiness. Sleep apnea, a disorder the prev-alence of which increases with age, is a risk factor for heart disease. What’s more, recent research sug-gests that sleep plays a vi-tal role in cleaning out po-tentially toxic waste from our brains that, if left to ac-cumulate, may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease.

Yet as important as it is, good sleep can become harder to achieve as we get older. Certain measures of sleep quality begin to deteri-orate very gradually starting as early as age 19, according to Dr. Anda Baharav, found-er and chief scientist of SleepRate, a company that recently launched an app-based sleep improvement plan based on cognitive be-havioral therapy, a standard treatment for insomnia.

By the time people hit their 40s or 50s, some re-port more difficulty falling asleep and more nocturnal awakenings than they ex-perienced when they were younger. Folks a couple de-cades older than that often have trouble maintaining 16 hours of wakefulness, leading to naps that might disrupt nighttime sleeping.

The following tips can also help you get a good night’s rest: Limit screen time before bed.

As hard as it is to un-plug, it’s necessary to truly unwind, experts say. Electronic devices such as smartphones emit a blue wavelength light that causes alertness in the user. If you truly can’t live with-out checking email right be-fore bed, consider wearing amber-colored sunglasses that filter out the blue light. Go to bed at the right time.

While most people need between seven and nine hours a night, there are out-liers on either end, experts say. “No one should have a random benchmark,” Dr. Sigrid Veasey, associate professor of medicine at the University of Pennsyl-vania Perelman School of Medicine said. You may be

stressing out that you can’t seem to get eight hours when you really need just seven. After you figure out, through trial and error, how many hours you need, work backward from your wake-up time to determine what time you should go to bed. Trying to sleep any earlier than that can be counterproductive. Check your meds.

Plenty of medications can contribute to sleep problems. Some, like cer-tain medications to treat high blood pressure, are diuretics that can increase urine production. They might be better taken in the morning than at night. Other medications can have different effects on sleep, so make sure your doctor knows what you’re taking. relax.

Sleep problems can esca-late quickly, when our wor-ry about sleep loss perpetu-ates the cycle of lost sleep. It is easy to feel like we’re failing at some basic human function, but we shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves, experts say. Many high-achievers approach their sleep with a take-charge at-titude that’s better left for daytime activities.

Black Market for organs reportedly Alive and Well on Facebook

'Angry Birds' doesn't Look Like This Anymore

This Could Be The next iPhoneBy Alexis Kleinman

This may not be the new iPhone you want, but it could be the new iPhone that you get.

The next iPhone will not be clear (sorry) and it will not have a curved screen (not sorry). It may, however, be a little thinner,

lighter and have a slightly larger screen.

The concept comes from British graphic de-signer Sam Beckett, who has created some impres-sively accurate iPhone concepts in the past.

Beckett predicts that the iPhone Air will have a 4.7-

inch display (the iPhone 5S has a 4-inch display), created by making the phone 8 percent larger and reducing the side bezels. The concept iPhone Air is also 9 percent thinner than the 5S.

In 2012 Beckett, who works for an app develop-er, made an iPhone 5 con-cept video that was both accurate and ahead of its time. In the video, he cor-rectly predicts some things about the iPhone 5, like the new dock connector and larger display, and he even predicts some aspects of the iPhone 5S and iOS 7, like the fingerprint scanner and the control center.

Beckett says he be-lieves that the the next iPhone will be called the Air, not the 6 because “Ap-ple has demonstrated that they think the iPhone is a mature enough device to warrant two versions (5S and 5C)” and he feels that “more distinctive brand-ing, much like the iPad Mini and Air will help to reinforce the two product lines.”

As of right now, Apple has no public plans to re-lease a new iPhone, but the company tends to an-nounce new iPhones in the fall of each year, so there’s still a lot of time to dream up the next iPhone.

By Emily Thomas Desperate for money, a

slew of people have appar-ently turned to Facebook in an attempt to sell their organs, a United Kingdom newspaper investigation has revealed.

A journalist from the Sunday Post recently posed as the brother of a woman in need of a kid-ney transplant, placing an ad on Facebook in search of a donor. In less than a week he received 11 re-sponses, with one man of-fering an organ in return for 30,000 pounds (rough-ly $50,000). Respondents hailed from as far away as India and Mexico; one was a 22-year-old dad willing to give up his kidney for money so that he and his pregnant fiancée could re-turn home to Hungary.

A representative for the social network was not immediately available to comment.

Under the U.K.'s Hu-man Tissue Act, it is illegal to buy or even advertise organs for sale in the U.K., said Alan Clamp, chief ex-ecutive of the Human Tis-sue Authority, which over-sees the regulation of organ donations, per the Sunday Post. Similar laws are in place almost every country

worldwide, including the United States. Yet lengthy hospital waitlists (up to 7 years) and the time sensitiv-ity of most patients’ critical health needs forces some to turn to the black market.

A 2012 report from the World Health Organization says more than one human organ is illegally purchased every hour worldwide -- the majority of these are kid-neys. Donors can include impoverished villagers des-perately in need of cash, funeral home directors who cut deals with organ bro-kers and, in the worst cases, victims of sex-trafficking or kidnapping, Psychology Today reports.

Most legal organ dona-tions in the U.S. come from the deceased or a family

member who matches the blood type of the patient. But there is a vast world-wide shortage of available donors for those desperate-ly in need. There are cur-rently 99,521 candidates waiting for a kidney trans-plant in the U.S. alone. According to the United Network for Organ Shar-ing, most won’t received a transplant this year, and roughly 4,500 people will die every year in the U.S. still waiting.

While the online black market may circumvent a years-long waiting list, it presents moral, ethical and legal dilemmas for all par-ties involved. Many hos-pitals are often hesitant to accept outside donations. According to a report by ABC News, only 10 per-cent of transplant centers will even consider doing a kidney transplant from a live donor not known by the patient.

Facebook launched its own legal organ donation initiative in 2012, team-ing up with Donate Life America to create a tool that encourages Facebook users to register for or-gan donation. By the end of the project's first day, 6,000 people had enrolled through 22 state registries.

By Taylor Casti “Angry Birds” is get-

ting an “epic” facelift.The smash-hit smart-

phone game, hailed for years as the biggest thing to happen to mobile gam-ing since “Snake,” is get-ting an upgrade that looks nothing like the rest of the “Angry Birds” franchise. Though the new install-ment features both birds and pigs, players will no longer merely fling unhap-py avians at fortified swine.

Gaming news site Ko-taku says “Angry Birds Epic” will be a turn-based, role-playing game, which, in layman’s terms, means players will assume the character of one of the birds in a game driven by an actual story. Play-ers will also have to cre-ate weapons, armor and

other tools by gathering resources within the game or purchasing them with real-world money.

“Angry Birds Epic” will launch first in Aus-tralia and Canada and will spread to other countries later this year, according to the teaser trailer released

by developer Rovio.The game is an excit-

ing shift for Rovio from the simple, physics-based classic format, which has launched several spinoffs (“Angry Birds: Star Wars,” “Angry Birds: Rio” and “Angry Birds: Space,” to name a few).

Popcorn Time Lets you Watch Any Movie for Free (P.S. it's illegal)

There is a place on the Internet where any movie can be instantly streamed in perfect high-definition quality. Like a Netflix that actually has the selection you want, it’s filled with all the movies you don’t want to spend $12 to see in theaters but would happily watch for free from the comfort of your couch.

It’s called Popcorn Time, and it’s making illegal on-line piracy scary simple.

The downloadable app for Windows, Mac and Linux -- that launched about a month ago but is recently gaining steam -- works with BitTorrent to let users download movies from the Web completely free. An impressively sized selection means users can watch this year’s Oscar-winning films or the mov-ies still in theaters -- selec-tions that might never make

it to their Netflix accounts.But the genius of Pop-

corn Time is that it’s so easy to use that people might not even realize what they’re doing is illegal.

The app eliminates the need to navigate through confusing torrent sites and has made stealing copy-righted material easier than ever. This is no sketchy web equivalent of a back alley, either; it’s a smooth, beau-tifully designed site that’s arguably easier to navigate than Netflix or HBOGo.

However, watching a movie through Popcorn Time is stealing copyright-ed material, and there’s al-ways the possibility of jail time, felony charges and a $250,000 fine.

Online piracy’s effects on the entertainment in-dustry have been much debated, with the contro-versial SOPA and PIPA

acts making headlines last year and some recent stud-ies suggesting that piracy actually benefits creative industries. But while Pop-corn Time’s creators re-portedly aren’t worried about getting into trouble -- no copyrighted material is hosted on their site, and the service is free and open source so they’re not actu-ally doing anything illegal -- users should exercise some restraint.

The US Copyright Group has managed to track down individual file sharers before, so unless you’re using a virtual pri-vate network, you’re at risk should you choose to download movies from Popcorn Time.

Moral of the story: Those opposed to the pos-sibility of spending time behind bars may want to stick to renting DVDs.

By Kim Bellware CHICAGO -- Yik Yak

is the latest anonymous messaging app to stoke cy-ber bullying fears among parents and educators, re-cently causing so much worry its creators tempo-rarily disabled it for an en-tire city.

After an Alabama teen used the app to make school shooting threats in Februrary and a Massa-chusettes high school was twice evacuated due to bomb threats posted to the app, Yik Yak was tempo-rarily disabled for the Chi-cago area.

At least four Chicago-land schools have issued warnings to parents in the past few weeks about the app one user described as "the Burn Book of 2014."

Created last fall, Yik Yak connects up to 500 people within a close geographic range (ap-proximately one mile) and shows a Twitter-like feed of anonymous comments that can be up-or down-voted. The app already has more than 240,000 users, according to USA Today.

There are no accounts or usernames next to the

"Yaks," which range from mundane non-sequiturs to hateful, abusive missives. One high school student told ABC Chicago Yik Yakers used the app to "rip" on an alleged rape victim.

Whitney Young high school in Chicago recently blocked the app from its Wi-Fi network, though anyone with phone and a data plan was still able to access it. After complaints from parents and schools, Yik Yak's creators dis-abled the app for the entire Chicago area on March 6, selectively re-enabling it March 9.

"We have re-enabled

the app for the Chicago area after attempting to geofence all high schools and middle schools in the area," Yik Yak co-founder Brooks Buffington told The Huffington Post via email, noting the list of schools is not yet compre-hensive.

Brad Spirrison, manag-ing editor of smartphone app site Appolicious, told ABC that a city-wide blackout for a social media app is uncommon.

"This kind of pulling from a particular town, city, region is -- if not un-precedented -- extremely rare," Spirrison said.

When Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Oversight Commit-tee, shares more informa-tion with conservative Fox News than with Elijah Cum-mings (D-Md.), the ranking Democrat on the committee, that’s enough to make Cum-mings go ballistic.

And that’s just what he did when Issa sought to forcibly silence him on March 5. The heated ex-change took place shortly after Lois Lerner, a former IRS official, refused to tes-tify before the committee, citing her 5th Amendment protection against self-in-crimination.

I have started to hear it all over again. The intense and record cold weather has led ideologues on the political Right to proclaim: “You see, there is no glob-al warming! How can there be global warming if we are freezing?”

It is almost tragic that the term “global warming” became the popular means of explaining climate change. While it is abso-lutely and incontrovertibly confirmed that the temper-ature of the planet Earth has been increasing, what too many people continue to miss is that it is not hap-pening all at once. Neither is it happening in the same way across the planet. For that reason it is more accu-rate and useful to discuss “climate change” and “ex-treme weather.”

What has been unfold-ing, as the temperature of the planet increases, is that weather patterns are also shifting. California, for instance, suffered an ex-treme drought leading to near panic. That has been followed by a massive del-uge of rain that has result-ed in dangerous mudslides. The Midwest and the East Coast have been subject to cold snaps that have taken us way below normal tem-peratures along with sub-jecting us to snow storm after snow storm. To this

The African American story is indeed one of the most unique tales of hu-man struggle, uplifting and success. One of my professors at the Univer-sity of Wisconsin told me, “It is a miracle that as a people, Blacks in America are alive and improving year by year. You went through over 400 years of pure hell and here you are today almost 40 million in number - such resilience!” Yes, it is and many never wanted the positive story told. I remember all of the negative propaganda about “negroes” that was in our text books; plus the derog-atory films we had to see. It would program young Blacks to believe that our plight was because of our inferiority. The fact is we are some of the greatest group of people on earth. We are truly blessed and the whole world should realize our, collectively speaking, wonderful story. Our best Christmas gift came on December 16, 2003.

ing, the United States has grown into a symbol of democracy and freedom around the world, and the legacy of African Ameri-cans is rooted in the very fabric of the democracy and freedom of the United States.” Word!

Here are quotes from the key three architects of the Act: 1. “Until we un-derstand the full African American story, we cannot understand ourselves as a nation, as a people”, Rep-resentative John Lewis (D – Georgia). 2. “We have an extraordinary opportu-nity before us – a chance to learn, understand, and remember together our na-tion’s history and to honor the significant contribu-tions of African Americans to our history and culture”, Senator Sam Brownback (R – Kansas). 3. “We all need to learn more about the men and women whose determination and per-sistent eloquence forced Americans of all races to examine our hearts, revise our Constitution and laws, and make America into the nation it was always sup-posed to be.” President George W. Bush

Here is the mission of our museum: “The Na-tional Museum of Afri-can American History and Culture was established in

2003 as the 19th museum of the Smithsonian Institu-tion, the largest museum complex and research or-ganization in the world. Its mission is to provide for the collection, study, and establishment of programs and exhibitions relating to African American life, art, history, and culture. Enacted through Congres-sional legislation, this mu-seum represents a national initiative of profound cul-tural importance, one that will impact this nation for generations to come.

The Museum will bridge a major gap in our national memory by cre-ating exhibitions and pro-grams focusing on a wide arc of history – Slavery, Reconstruction, the Har-lem Renaissance, the Great Migrations to the North and West, Segregation, the Civil Rights movement and beyond, including is-sues of the 21st century. It also will celebrate Af-rican American creativity and cultural expressions through art, dance, theater, and literature.

The Museum will be lo-cated on a five-acre site

must be added the torren-tial rains and flooding in southern England and the complete unpredictability of the modern hurricane season that now seems to range from almost noth-ing to the sorts of intense storms that have hit Cuba, Haiti and Central America, not to mention Hurricane Sandy’s assault on New Jersey and New York.

In other words, the fact that this winter has been cold and snowy – as one would expect in a winter – for the Midwest and East Coast should not be inter-preted as a return to nor-mal. There is no return to normal outside of activities that must begin right now on the part of human be-ings. This starts with tak-ing on fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry. This is what makes the struggle around the Keystone Pipe-line so important. The danger with the pipeline is not mainly the possibil-ity of pipeline rupturing, though that is always a real danger. The danger lies with tapping into the tar sands of Alberta, Canada and the use of fuels that will, more than likely, have a devastating impact on the environment. The prob-lem rests with the amount and type of energy that is needed in order to separate the oil from the sands.

So, let’s put this togeth-er. While the climate of this planet has been known to change in various eras, the speed and nature of the current changes are clearly related to human, industri-al activity and, specifical-ly, the use of fossil fuels. With such fuels, the planet heats up and this sets in motion climate change on a planetary basis typi-fied by extreme weather. None of this means that each day’s weather be-comes more extreme than the last’s. Rather, we start to see irregular and disas-trous patterns emerge that make long-term survival a question.

Time to stop engaging in wishful thinking and, instead, take actions to reverse this trend. It not only can be done; it must be done…and now.

Why write this now? African American History month (February) is usually about notable Black men. Women’s History Month (March) is usually about notable White women.

A book edited by Glo-ria T Hull, Patricia Bell Scott, and Barbara Smith is titled, But Some Of Us Are Brave: All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men: Black Women’s Studies,

As the title suggests, some of us are brave – and our young girls need to know that.

What difference would it make to our daughter and nieces if they knew about Septima Clark or Claudette Colvin? Had they read Lucille Clifton’s poetry, would they find it easier to breathe life into their words?

It pains me to watch Black Women’s History so swallowed that we are almost invisible. The most benign interpreta-tion of this phenomenon is that those who lift his-tory up are too myopic to consider African American women. Is there is a sinis-ter interpretation? Is it that both racism and patriarchy combine to swallow Black women’s history?

International Women’s Day was March 8. Annu-ally, the United Nations sets a theme for the com-memoration. This year it was, “Equality for Women is Progress for All.”

According to the UN, countries with more gender equality have better eco-nomic growth. Companies with more women lead-ers perform better. Peace agreements that include women are more durable. Parliaments with more women enact more legis-lation on key social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child support. The evidence is clear: equality for wom-en “means progress for all.”

We can’t make prog-ress if we bury our history. We can’t put Melody Hob-son in context if we don’t understand Maggie Lena Walker. We can’t truly celebrate women’s history unless we celebrate Black women’s history. Black women’s history is wom-en’s history, too. It should be realized that both the Af-rican American community and the world community

DOMINOFrom page 2A“man of their home” – and had to quickly step into a role that he was not prepared for. Because his mother wasn’t around a lot, and he saw her financial strug-gle, he decided to start selling drugs to help bring income into their home. He also becomes very close friends with a group of people who are no good, but he finds acceptance there. He fills the void of his family with the group of trouble-making friends, and he resolves their family’s financial problem by selling drugs. His new lifestyle leads to him ending up in pris-on. Now he cannot do anything locked up, must really put up the walls to survive in prison, his mother is emotionally dev-astated and his younger siblings are really left vulnerable.

These were both common examples of domino effect hav-ing a negative effect on a family, which eventually effects com-munity and society. Now, let’s take a look at the same family with some different decisions made.

The man who was dealing with many stressors in life de-cides he wants to find some pos-itive outlets for his stress. He decides to make some changes and organize his time to make sure he does some things, like exercise and maybe drop some unnecessary volunteer activi-ties. He also decides to com-municate with his wife about what is going on and how he is feeling, and with counsel-ing if necessary. He makes an effort to connect with a couple of other men (positive and prob-ably older men who have suc-cessfully made it through rais-ing a family, etc.). He also starts looking for another job. He is determined to hang in there and to get through the tough season. The exercise helps relieve some stress. The communication with his wife lets him know he is not alone, allows her to help and also build their friendship and marriage; after they get through the trial, they end up closer than ever. Having some male friends or mentors opens his eyes to see he is not the only one going through the situation and that he can make it. He also learns from these men some tips and advice that are beneficial. The family stays intact.

The children have their fa-ther and their mother through their lives which builds a foun-dation of love, a sense of trust

and stability. The man makes it through which gives him a sense of gratitude. He is able to be a consistent part of his children’s lives and points them in the right direction. The children grow up knowing what a healthy family looks like, and because of that they know how to function in healthy relationships and build healthy families of their own. They produce healthy families which also later produce more healthy families and so forth.

A good decision can go a very long way. It can affect your life, the lives of those around you and also your com-munity and society, as a whole, for many generations afterward. The good and right decision may not be the easiest decision, but the affect of our decisions have a domino effect - whether it is in a positive way or in a negative way.

ENROLLFrom page 3Aor 38 percent, self-identified as Latino.

“The word is spreading among Latinos about this im-portant opportunity to get qual-ity health care, and they are re-sponding in growing numbers,” Lee said. “While it is good news that almost 600,000 Latinos have found coverage under the Affordable Care Act, we recog-nize we have a way to go toward insuring larger numbers of Lati-nos and Californians in the com-ing weeks. It’s both a short-term and a long-term, multi-year ef-fort to change the mindset of the uninsured from a culture of cop-ing into a culture of coverage.

“We won’t quit reaching out until all who want and need in-surance are covered,” Lee said.

Covered California has been pushing hard in Latino commu-nities, with heightened advertis-ing, education and outreach, and enrollment campaigns.

Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers, joined Lee at the Olvera Street rally to encourage Latinos to enroll today in coverage. Last week, Covered California en-listed the help of the iconic la-bor and civil rights leader to produce radio spots and videos available on YouTube, in Eng-lish and Spanish, calling on La-tinos to sign up for insurance.

Covered California is plan-ning nearly 650 enrollment ac-tivities in communities through-out the state in the final weeks before the deadline. A targeted on-the-ground strategy is under way in collaboration with Cov-ered California’s community partners to create face-to-face opportunities for enrollment, particularly in Latino communi-ties in Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, and the Central and San Joaquin valleys.

Through March 7, online applications were started for an estimated 3,787,569 individuals seeking coverage. In the month of February, 164,870 individu-als enrolled in subsidized or unsubsidized coverage through Covered California.

Enrollment of young adults 18 to 34 years old is trending slightly upward, at 26.5 per-cent of the consumers who have selected a Covered California health insurance plan. This age group represents about 25 per-cent of the state’s population but approximately 36 percent of those who are eligible for subsi-dies. Also, about 35 percent of those newly enrolled in Medi-Cal are young adults 18 to 34 years old.

Most subsidy-eligible con-sumers who enrolled in the exchange through Feb. 28 — 515,027, or about 68 percent — signed up for a Silver plan, the second-lowest-costing plan of the four plan tiers. About 86 percent of consumers across all tiers received some sort of finan-cial assistance.

In Covered California’s Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP), 1,073 small businesses — representing near-ly 8,188 employees and their dependents — have enrolled for coverage through Feb. 28.

Consumers are reminded that there are many paths to en-roll in Covered California health insurance plans and in Medi-Cal, including in-person assis-tance from thousands of Certi-fied Insurance Agents, Certified Enrollment Counselors and county eligibility workers, as well as self-enrollment online. Consumers can find the nearest in-person assisters by visiting the “Find Local Help” page at CoveredCA.com.

Though open enrollment for Covered California health plans ends March 31, Californians who experience a life-changing event, including the birth of a child or the loss of employer-provided insurance, may qualify to enroll outside of the open-enrollment period. Medi-Cal en-rollment continues year round.

Here’s a sample of what peo-ple were saying through Cov-ered California’s social media channels in February:

“Had to take my 5-year-old to the ER in the middle of the night. For all the issues with the ACA, I am so grateful she was insured. Would have been thou-sands of dollars. This is what insurance is about ... the cata-strophic unexpected. Thank you ACA.”— Lisa (via Facebook)

“Just got my #Obamacare @CoveredCA insurance plan in the mail. I’m ecstatic. Saving $400 month.”— Anonymous (via Twitter)

“@CoveredCA Loving my new Heath coverage, Way to go California.”— Anonymous (via Twitter)

“Just paid my first premium for @CoveredCA healthcare. A 42% reduction for a nearly-iden-tical plan. #ThanksObama.”— Anonymous (via Twitter)About Covered California

Covered California is the state’s marketplace for the fed-eral Patient Protection and Af-fordable Care Act. Covered California, in partnership with the California Department of Health Care Services, was charged with creating a new health insurance marketplace in which individuals and small businesses can get access to af-fordable health insurance plans. With coverage starting in 2014, Covered California helps indi-viduals determine whether they are eligible for premium assis-tance that is available on a slid-ing-scale basis to reduce insur-ance costs or whether they are eligible for low-cost or no-cost Medi-Cal. Consumers can then compare health insurance plans and choose the plan that works best for their health needs and budget. Small businesses can purchase competitively priced health insurance plans and of-fer their employees the ability to choose from an array of plans and may qualify for federal tax credits.

Covered California is an in-dependent part of the state gov-ernment whose job is to make the new market work for Cali-fornia’s consumers. It is over-seen by a five-member board appointed by the Governor and the Legislature. For more infor-mation on Covered California, please visit www.CoveredCA.com.About the department of Health Care Services

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) works to preserve and improve the physi-cal and mental health of all Cali-fornians. DHCS provides health care services for approximately 9.4 million Californians through Medi-Cal, including medical, dental, mental health, substance use treatment services and long-term services and supports. This is accomplished through an in-vestment of approximately $70 billion annually in public funds for the care of low-income fami-lies, children, pregnant women, seniors and persons with disabil-ities. DHCS focuses on deliver-ing quality, effective services primarily through coordinated systems of care provided by 21 Medi-Cal managed care plans located in all of California’s 58 counties.

Experts say normal creati-nine levels range between 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women.

Additionally, using the class of over-the-counter medications can tax the kidneys. Long-term use of pain medications known as NSAIDs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which have fever and pain reducing proper-ties, can cause chronic kidney disease. Meds in this class in-clude common medications like ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve and naproxen, Philipneri said. Per-sons with kidney disease as well as other health issues should fol-low their doctor’s advice before using OTC medications.

“And you also need to be very careful about what supple-ments you take, especially the not so-well-studied drugs and supplements,” Philipneri added.

LEEFrom page 6AChisholm, who was the first Af-rican American women elected to Congress.

I know personally, and from my work recruiting and support-ing candidates, the very daunt-ing challenges and obstacles confronting women, and espe-cially women of color, who seek public office.

Because we can and must learn from our experiences and each do our part to increase rep-resentation of women in every public office in this land. From being a mentor, to joining a leadership program as a mentee, nominating women for appoint-ments or financially supporting our women candidates and of proven training programs that support them, because we know, as the House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says, “When Women Succeed, America Suc-ceeds!”

But that doesn’t apply only in the United States. As Hill-ary Clinton said last year at the Clinton Global Initiative in Chi-cago, “When women participate in politics, the effects ripple out across society.” We have seen, throughout the world, the posi-tive impact and success that fe-male policymakers and heads of state have had in their countries – from Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Liberia to Angela Merkel in Germany.

Issues of healthcare, child-care, education, and pay eq-uity are traditionally referred to as “women’s issues. It is of the utmost importance that we frame these matters as issues that affect all people – men and women.

It is even more important that men – our fathers, brothers, spouses, and friends – become our allies and advocates.

The success of women is truly central and integral to the success of every country.”

The attorney general said the recent rise in heroin over-doses could be attributed to an increase in prescription drug abuse.

“Scientific studies, federal, state and local investigations, addiction treatment providers, and victims reveal that the cy-cle of heroin abuse commonly begins with prescription opiate abuse. The transition to -- and increase in -- heroin abuse is a sad but not unpredictable symp-tom of the significant increase in prescription drug abuse we’ve seen over the past decade.”

Cefaly is a small, portable, battery-powered, prescription device that resembles a plastic headband worn across the fore-head and atop the ears. The user positions the device in the cen-ter of the forehead, just above the eyes, using a self-adhesive electrode. The device applies an electric current to the skin and underlying body tissues to stim-ulate branches of the trigeminal nerve, which has been associ-ated with migraine headaches. The user may feel a tingling or massaging sensation where the electrode is applied. Cefaly is indicated for patients 18 years of age and older and should only be used once per day for 20 min-utes.

The agency evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the device based on data from a clinical study conducted in Bel-gium involving 67 individu-als who experienced more than two migraine headache attacks a month and who had not taken any medications to prevent mi-graines for three months prior to using Cefaly, as well as a pa-tient satisfaction study of 2,313 Cefaly users in France and Bel-gium.

HISTORYFrom page 11A cannot progress if any segment of that community is relegated to the sidelines.

The place African Ameri-can women hold in our history celebrations is quite similar to the space we occupy in contem-porary life. We can get tens of thousands or more folks to turn out (as they should) in response to the massacres of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, but the killing of unarmed Renisha Mc-Bride has caused much less of an outcry. Theodore Wafer, the White man (yes, race matters) who shot young Renisha, will be tried for second-degree mur-der in June. Will we remember this effrontery in the same way that we rallied for Trayvon and Jordan?

The sidelining of Black women is one of the reasons that the late C. Delores Tucker worked tirelessly for more than a decade to ensure that a bust of Sojourner Truth be placed in our nation’s capitol. And why not? Susan B. Anthony, Lu-cretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are there. The fight to get Sojourner Truth to the capi-tol was led by Tucker, a lifelong leader and a founder of the Na-tional Congress of Black Wom-en, Unfortunately, she did not live long enough to see the fruits of her labor. Wondering who was Delores Tucker? That’s be a whole column by itself.

Gospel TV Legend dr. Bobby Jones to release First Cd in Seven yearsAfter over three decades

of introducing the best and brightest names in gospel mu-sic to the globe via his weekly BET "Bobby Jones Gospel" (the longest running show in cable TV history), Dr. Bobby Jones is reminding the world that he's a Grammy Award winning recording artist too. The 75-year old TV emcee is releasing his first CD in seven years, "Rejoice with Me" (EchoPark JDI/Caroline Distribution), that hits retail and online stores on March 25, 2014.

This soul-stirring, twelve-track set is com-prised of all original music and also features backing vocals and solos by mem-bers of the NSC (Nashville Super Choir) that regularly performs on Jones' TV show. Michael Bereal and Profes-sor James Roberson pro-duced the brilliant project. It boasts cameos by some of R&B's most incomparable voices such as Faith Evans (who leads the Top Ten title cut), Howard Hewitt and Ann Nesby. Former '70s R&B artist, Tommye Young West, who's been recording in the gospel field exclusive-ly for the last three decades, delivers a Pentecostal rout on the feverish, "Right Now Praise." Various members of NSC take leads on the beautiful anthem, "Faithful Is He." NSC member Jamal Carter leads the mellow, "Created For Worship." The thunderous voice of Shawn McLemore ignites the fi-ery hand-clapper, "Let's Praise The Lord" and Renee Spearman offers the smooth urban AC track, "Nothing Without You." The album closes with a rousing Chica-go-styled remix of "Rejoice with Me."

Since the late 1970s, Dr. Jones has spent his Sunday mornings rejoicing with

millions of gospel lovers around the planet and has also released a dozen or so LPs and CDs. Jones, who has an earned Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University, also hosts the syndicated week-ly radio programs "Bobby Jones Countdown" that airs on over 100 radio stations.

Jones formed the New Life Singers in 1975. He later expanded the group's membership and changed its name to NSC (Nashville Super Choir). He and the choir circle the globe every year, spreading its unique style of gospel in concert halls and music festivals.

By Nancy BenacWASHINGTON — He

bobbled the spelling, but President Barack Obama had nothing but R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the "women of soul" who shook and rattled the rafters of the White House.

"What a lineup!" Obama declared at the outset of a concert that featured a gen-erations-spanning array of soul singers that stretched from musical legends Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle to 20-year-old Ariana Grande.

Obama paid tribute to Franklin for turning her signature song "Respect" into "a rallying cry for Af-rican-Americans, women and then everyone who felt marginalized."

The pumped-up audi-ence gave a hearty laugh but was more than willing to forgive the president for spelling it "R-S-P-E-C-T."

First up in the East Room lineup was LaBelle, with a thundering delivery of "Over the Rainbow" that had the audience on its feet.

It was a mutual admira-tion society of sorts as La-Belle thanked the Obam-as for their tenure in the White House, declaring, "Baby, you got swag!"

Grande, the youngster in the group, seemed in awe of her fellow perform-ers and the august audi-ence. Her lead-in: "What's up? How are you? Good to see you. Thank you for having me."

The emotional high point

came when Franklin, 71, sauntered in, gave a shimmy and declared "Let's have a party." Then she went right into "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)"

Also in the lineup: Me-lissa Etheridge, Janelle Monae, Jill Scott and Tes-sanne Chin.

The program was livestreamed at White-House.gov/live and will be broadcast as an "In Perfor-mance at the White House" concert on April 7 on PBS.

At a morning arts work-shop for high school and college students, first lady Michelle Obama called soul "the kind of music that makes you move, no mat-ter who you are or where you come from."

LOS ANGELES — ABC says Isaiah Washing-ton will return to "Grey's Anatomy" for a guest ap-pearance in May, seven

years after he was fired from the medical drama.

Washington exited the series in 2007 after an on-set clash the year before, in

which an anti-gay epithet was directed at another cast member at the time, T.R. Knight.

Washington's return as Dr. Preston Burke coin-cides with the announced departure of series star Sandra Oh at the season's end in May. Her charac-ter, Dr. Cristina Yang, was engaged to Washington's Burke at one point in the long-running drama.

The date of Washing-ton's episode was not an-nounced.

During the controversy involving him, Washing-ton also used the epithet backstage at the 2007 Golden Globe awards. He publicly apologized and tried to make amends by meeting with gay-rights organizations.

Oprah Winfrey

By Julee WilsonWe can now add Fash-

ion Fairy Godmother to Oprah's never-ending list of monikers, after the me-dia mogul literally gave the designer dress off her back to an adoring fan.

It all went down when a woman named Brandi, or Twitter user @snobaby28, asked Oprah if she could have the dress the mega-star donned on the cover of Essence's March 2014

issue via a sweet tweet. And Oprah, being the saint that she is, granted the Atlanta native's wish.

No less than a week later, Brandi received the Brian Rennie for Basler gown and vowed to wear it whenever she gets mar-ried. But we're sure she'll be twirling around the house in that number ev-ery chance she gets -- at least that's what we would do.

Later this month, Nia Long is set to star in her latest role in Tyler Perry's "The Single Moms Club." And to help celebrate its release, the gorgeous ac-tress is gracing the cover of ESSENCE magazine's April issue.

For the glossy's feature, entitled "Nia In Charge," the 43-year-old mother of two opens up on an array of topics, including call-back jitters when her son Massai decided to audition for "Single Moms" as well.

"I was so nervous Mas-sai wouldn’t get the job. I didn't want to have to break disappointing news, so I explained to him that as long as he gave it his best that's all that mattered," Long told ESSENCE. "I

also told him that life has highs and lows, wins and losses. Just as I was say-

ing all this, the phone rang. It was my agent with the good news. We did the happy dance and started packing our bags."

Massai, 13, penned an open letter to his mom, also printed in ESSENCE, that expresses his appre-ciation and gratitude for working alongside her.

"Filming The Single Moms Club was a lot of fun. It was awesome work-ing with you, and I can't imagine how hard it would have been if you weren't there," Massai wrote. "Now I really understand how hard you work."

Check out more of Nia Long's interview in the April 2014 issue of ES-SENCE magazine, which hit newsstands March 7.

Prince

By Jessica Dickerson Whether your hair is

curly or straight, natural or processed or braided, most black people agree that they don’t appreciate strangers touching it. The conversation surrounding this cultural phenomenon of textual curiosity is one that often remains attached to racial stigmas.

Prince is among those who find unwarranted in-teractions with their hair offensive and intrusive. The world-renowned singer sported an Afro on the “Arsenio Hall Show,” where he debuted his new song “Funknroll,” and hu-mored the audience with a

Q&A session. When asked about his pet peeve, Prince smiled before answering, “strangers touching my

hair.” The crowd broke into an uproar of applause and laughter as he mimed silly hand gestures of someone doing exactly that, before playfully balling his hand into a defensive fist.

Prince’s answer was funny in the context of the show, but the discussion of black people’s hair and re-spect of the personal space surrounding it is a serious topic in the black commu-nity. Chris Rock made the documentary “Good Hair” about it in 2009, featuring strong opinions of countless black celebrities, hair dress-ers and their customers.

PSA: If it’s not yours, don’t touch it!

St. Paul Baptist Church Celebrates 95 Years(Photo Credit: Robert Jeffreys)

On Sunday, March 9, 2014 Saint Paul Bapist Church celebrated its 95th Anniversary. In 1919, the Saint Paul Baptist Church was organized as the first African American church in Ventura County. Servic-es were held in a tempo-rary place until the edifice located a 318 West Sev-enth Street was donated.

The first pastor of Saint Paul Baptist Church was the late Reverend J.D. Pedigrew. After the death of Reverend Pedigrew, the late Reverend J.M. Brooks served as interium minister and later served as pastor.

1942 - 1944, G.G. Bailey was called as the Pastor. The first Board of Deacons was formed under Reverend Bailey’s leadership. The following brothers were chosen as Deacons: Isaiah Matthews, Henry Pierce and Andrew Lee. Sister Daisy Tay-lor was the church clerk. Edith Johnson served as the church pianist and af-ter which Carrie Pinkard served as pianist.

1944 - 1972, Rev. Jesse Walker was introduced to the Saint Paul Baptist Church family by the rec-ommendation of Rev. W.P. Carter and Rev. Frank James and he accepted pastorship.

A Trustee Board was formed, composed of the following: James Montgomery, L.H. Pat-terson, Dee Pinkard, Henry Rhodes and Ethel Willis. The Saint Paul Baptist Church recived its papers of incorporation during this time. During the early 1950’s, the eve-ning church services were broadcast live from the sanctuary. By this time, the church had outgrown the small building and plans were underway to secure a larger facility. Two lots were purchased due to the foresight of Pastor Walker who realized that a larger space was needed. Pas-tor Walker and the Board

members sought and pur-chased property for a new edifice to be built. January 1960, the edifice located at 1354 South C Street was completed. The first ser-vice was April 23, 1960.

November 20, 1972, Reverend H.N. Edwards, a minister with a vision, a mission and a strong faith in God was called to carry on the divine works of Jesus Christ. Reverend Edwards accepted his call-ing to pastor the Saint Paul Baptist Church, February 1973.

November 11, 1990, Reverend Broderick Alan Huggins, Ph.D was in-stalled as the Pastor of the Saint Paul Baptist Church. Since his arrival at Saint Paul, this body of believers has grown on all levels and is well known through-out Ventura County. The growth can be attributed to the profound teaching and preaching of Pastor Hug-gins and his genuine love for God’s people. Over three hundred people were added to the church within the first year that Reverend Huggins was our pastor.

Reverend Huggins has implemented several min-istries within the church that focus on spiritual growth and promotes re-lationships. Some exam-ples are Family & Friends

Weekend; Tuesday Night Live, Family Conference, Teaching & Preaching Conferences, Month of Prayer and Consecration; Faith Cafe’ (Christian Edu-cation for the youth), reor-ganization fo the Women’s Ministry, Evangelism and much more.

November, 2005, Pastor Huggins led the congrega-tion into its current home: the Saint Paul Baptist Church Family Life Cen-ter, 1777 Statham Blvd, Oxnard, CA. Currently worship is held in the gym-nasium while the sanctu-ary is being completed. The following has been implemented since mov-ing into our new home: St. Paul Academy (Child care for babies to kg); So-ber Living Home for Men; Partnership with the Ven-tura County Mental Health - C.O.P.I.N.G. Program; an accredited Seminary & Bible Institute, a Chris-tian Bookstore; and the list continues. After years of trial and victories, we are standing with our Pastor as he follows Christ’s vision for the Saint Paul Baptist Church. We continue to “Build God’s People As We Build God’s Property.” Read more: http://www.spbcoxnard.org/about-us/

How Should Americans Prepare for Attacks By Foreign or Domestic Terrorist?

The People’s Throb

By Gary L. Harbour

Sister deborahoxnard, Ca

“First be calm, have faith in God our Father and know that all that exist, is, or ever can be is according to His holy will. This life, each one individual, is as a school for God’s chil-dren. every joy, every hard-ship, every gain and every loss a tender, vital lesson specific to each one in its design, as long as there’s breath in our bod-ies, the Father has not said “done”. all of us must be at peace with each other without hatred, prejudice, or fear, in the knowledge that before the universe was begun, our Holy Father had already selected, and created His children to teach and love forever.”

Paul Montgomery, 64oxnard, Ca

“a.) Be watchful of the en-vironment around you. B.) Have a phone tree list of family & friends. C.) agree on which of the elderly to check on with family.”

Jesse Lopez, 51oxnard, Ca

“Well, we have to en-courage the good educa-tion, and love everyone. america should be free of this (foreign and do-mestic terrorism).”

elizabeth Wolfel, “thirtyish”oxnard, Ca

“We need to spend more time protecting our country. We need to fo-cus our efforts and re-sources on domestic is-sues, the problems we have at home are press-ing. i don’t understand why we are fixing other countries when we have homeless issues, failing education issues, a failing economy, and an endless drug and gang war. The government keeps saying it doesn’t have any mon-ey. Maybe we just need to spend money for what it is intended. i would like to feel safe in my home.”

danely Cortez, 24oxnard, Ca

“Well, i feel that the gov-ernment is very involved in our life already. We need to teach our chil-dren to love and respect everyone.”

darlene Miller, 65oxnard, Ca

“Be watchful as ameri-cans, and be ready at all times with supplies, wa-ter, food and other things. Keep medical supplies and a bible at all times.”

News from the D.A.District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced to-

day that Paul Mailhot, of Newbury Park, was sentenced to 210 days jail, 36 months formal probation, one year license suspension and anger management classes on March 7, 2014, by Ventura County Superior Court Judge David Hirsch. Mailhot had been convicted of man-slaughter in the death of Thomas Williams of Camarillo on January 17, 2014.

On December 14, 2011, Mailhot was driving a Cor-vette southbound on Highway 101, in the area of Oxnard. Defendant was traveling at a high rate of speed, tailgating other drivers, weaving in and out of traffic, and cutting other drivers off. While near the Pleasant Valley Road exit, the defendant became enraged at another driver, cut her off as she was lawfully merging into the same lane, and gestured at the driver with his middle finger. Defen-dant then made another sharp turn into the number one lane, lost control of his vehicle, fishtailed, and ultimately crashed into the victim's vehicle. This action caused Mr. Williams' vehicle to become airborne and leave the high-way. The victim was declared dead at the scene.

On March 13, officers from the Oxnard Police De-partment were dispatched to the 3000 block of Circle Drive reference a suspicious vehicle. The witness ad-vised that a white Chevrolet Blazer was circling the area and then parked. The witness was able to provide a license plate number as well as a detailed description of the vehicle. Responding officers located the suspect vehicle and the registered owner, Cirilo Flores, Valen-tin standing beside it.

Upon further investigation, officers located a vic-tim vehicle in the area with a smashed rear window and both rear doors open. The owner of the victim ve-hicle was located and interviewed. It was determined that items from the victim vehicle were inside of Val-entin’s vehicle. Valentin was arrested for possession of stolen property and possession of methamphetamine.

Final Push to Get Blacks Signed Up for Health Insurance

Campaign Launched to Get More Blacks in Clinical Trials

Averi Anderson, 60-year-old

breast cancer survivor

Dr. Gary Puckrein, President & CEO, National

Minority Quality Forum

By Freddie AllenNNPA Washington Corre-spondent

W A S H I N G T O N (NNPA) – With less than two weeks left to sign up for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, grassroots supporters of the mandatory law and federal health officials are rushing to enroll Blacks, other people of color and young people in order to meet the Obama adminis-tration’s goal of reaching 7 million people by the end of this month.

The administration has enlisted past and present NBA superstars Lebron James, Magic Johnson and Alonzo Mourning for tele-vision ads urging people to get enrolled by March 31 that will air on ESPN, ABC, TNT and NBA TV. James will be featured in a television ad running dur-ing the 2014 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

Online videos featur-ing First Lady Michelle Obama and mothers of ce-lebrities including Jonah Hill, Adam Levine, Alicia Keys, and Jennifer Lopez that targeted mothers and women also encourage people to get covered.

Last week, President Obama traded comedic jabs with Zach Galifiana-kis on a mock talk show called “Between Two Ferns.” Obama appeared on the show with the star of the “The Hangover”

movie franchise in an ef-fort to pitch HealthCare.Gov to a younger, hipper audience most likely to watch the show.

However, just as he has done throughout his time in the White House, Presi-dent Obama has refused to grant an interview to the National Newspaper Pub-lishers Association New Service, which serves a federation of approximate-ly 200 newspapers with a readership of 19 million.

According to a recent poll by the Kaiser Fam-ily Foundation, 56 percent of people who don’t have health insurance have an unfavorable opinion of the Affordable Care Act.

Fifty-seven percent of Whites have an unfavor-able opinion of the ACA and 29 percent view the law favorably.

In sharp contrast, 53 percent of Blacks like the new health care law that mandates health insurance

coverage for all, more than twice the 24 percent of Blacks don’t like the law.

In the upcoming weeks, Enroll America, a non-par-tisan, non-profit national group that informs con-sumers about health in-surance options and helps people sign up for plans, will partner with a num-ber of organizations in the Black community to in-crease awareness about the ACA and get people en-rolled in health care plans.

Enroll America will support events aimed at young Blacks at commu-nity colleges and histori-cally Black colleges and universities. The group has also partnered with youth ministers across the nation to promote health insurance coverage and programming designed to get young Blacks en-rolled. Enroll America has also designed outreach and health insurance education

For Averi Anderson, seeing more African-Amer-icans participate in clini-cal trials is personal. The 60-year-old breast cancer survivor said if it had not been for a clinical trial, she might not be alive today.

Anderson was one of the speakers at a Wednesday press conference in Wash-ington, D.C. announcing a new initiative aimed to get more Blacks, Hispan-ics and Asian-Americans involved in clinical trials.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufactur-ers of America (PhRMA) and the National Minor-ity Quality Forum have collaborated to launch the ‘I’m In’ campaign de-signed to encourage great-er diversity of patients who volunteer to participate in clinical trials.

PhRMA represents the country’s leading biophar-maceutical research and biotechnology companies, while the D.C.-based Fo-rum is a not-for-profit in-dependent research and education organization.aggressive cancer

Anderson, a former health care worker, was di-agnosed with breast cancer in 2009. At the time, she was a volunteer with the Buffalo/Niagara Witness Project, an initiative of Roswell Park Cancer Insti-tute in New York that edu-cates participants on early cancer detection through stories told by breast and

cervical cancer survivors in churches and commu-nity setting.

“I didn’t just have any breast cancer. I had Stage 3 triple negative breast can-cer, a very aggressive form of breast cancer in African-American women,” An-derson shared.

Shortly after her diag-nosis, Anderson’s oncolo-gist recommended she be enrolled in a federally funded clinical trial.

“I understand the mis-conceptions and also the Tuskegee experiment where people have a lot of mistrust of medical re-search. Even in my family, I heard my grandparents talk about those incidents, but I feel if it were not for other 55 year-old African-American women who par-ticipated in a clinical trial, I

might not be standing here talking to you today.’’

“I thank God that today’s cures were yesterday’s clin-ical trials and today’s clini-cal studies are tomorrow’s cures,’’ she remarked.Legacy of mistrust

Historically, Blacks’ mistrust of clinical research dates back to the use of Black cadavers for experi-mentation and the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis study, in which White doctors conducted experiments on Black men in Alabama to see how syphilis spreads.

The patients weren’t told they had syphilis and weren’t treated for it.Minorities underrepre-sented

EXCEPTING THERE-FROM an undivided one-half interest in and to all oils, minerals and other hydrocarbon substances as reserved by Ruth L. Randall, a widow, et al., in deed recorded April 30, 1951 in Book 996, Page 52 of Official Records. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street ad-dress and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 93 Carr Drive, Ventura, CA 93001 The under-signed Trustee disclaims any liability for any incor-rectness of the street ad-dress and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or im-plied, regarding title, pos-session, or encumbranc-es, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with inter-est 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. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimat-ed costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $346,901.92 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued in-terest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a ca-shier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings as-sociation or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event ten-der other than cash is ac-cepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property of-fered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the suc-cessful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bid-ders If you are consid-ering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bid-ding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property

itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien be-ing auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of out-standing liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county re-corder's office or a title insurance company, ei-ther of which may charge you a fee for this informa-tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information re-garding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05003332-13-1. Information about post-ponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re-flected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE 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 13-51547. 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.

On April 4, 2014, at 11:00 AM, AT THE MAIN FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY GOV-ERNMENT CENTER HALL OF JUSTICE, 800 SOUTH VICTORIA AVENUE, in the City of VENTURA, County of VENTURA, State of CAL-IFORNIA, REGIONAL SERVICE CORPORA-TION, a California corpo-ration, as duly appointed Trustee under that certain Deed of Trust executed by DAVID MORA PLAS-CENCIA AND MARIA DEL CARMEN MORA, HUSBAND AND WIFE, as Trustors, recorded on 1/26/2006, as Instrument No. 20060126-0016914, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of VENTURA County, State of CALIFORNIA, under the power of sale therein contained, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUC-TION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, for cash, or cashier’s check (payable at the time of sale in law-ful money of the United States) without warranty express or implied as to title, use, possession or encumbrances, all right, title and interest con-veyed to and now held by it as such Trustee, in and to the following de-scribed property situated in the aforesaid County

and State, to-wit: TAX PARCEL NO. 215-0-252-175 From information which the Trustee deems reliable, but for which Trustee makes no repre-sentation or warranty, the street address or other common designation of the above described property is purported to be 840 FRESCA DRIVE , OXNARD, CA 93030-0162. Said property is be-ing sold for the purpose of paying the obligations secured by said Deed of Trust, including fees and expenses of sale. The to-tal amount of the unpaid principal balance, inter-est thereon, together with reasonably estimated costs, expenses and ad-vances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Trustee’s Sale is $471,653.81. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-DERS: 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 800-542-2550 for in-formation regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.rtrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case. 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. In compliance with California Civil Code 2923.5(c), the mortgag-ee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent de-clares: that it has con-tacted the borrower(s) to assess their financial sit-uation and to explore op-tions to avoid foreclosure; or that it has made efforts to contact the borrower(s) to assess their financial situation and to explore options to avoid foreclo-sure by one or more of the following methods: by telephone, by United States mail; either 1st class or certified; by over-night delivery; by per-sonal delivery; by e-mail; by face to face meeting or the borrower has sur-rendered the property to the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent and that the compli-ance with Civil Code Sec-tion 2923.5 was made at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of this Notice of Sale.

SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT: On 4/2/2014, at 11:00 AM, ASSOCIATION LIEN SERVICES, as duly ap-pointed Trustee under and pursuant to a certain lien, recorded on August 20, 2013, as instrument number 20130820-00145730-0, of the of-ficial records of Ventura County, California. WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUC-TION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNIT-ED STATES, OR A CA-SHIERS CHECK at: At the main front entrance to the County Govern-ment Center Hall of Jus-tice, 800 S.

The street address and other common designations, if any, of the real property described above is pur-ported to be: 396 E Surf-side Dr , Port Hueneme, CA 93041 Assessor’s Parcel No. 208-0-110-105 The owner(s) of the real property is purported to be: Gary Jacobs and Debbie Jacobs, husband and wife as joint tenants and subject to the effect of a grant deed dated July 11,2008 , executed by Larry Jacobs and Debbie Jacobs, which purport-edly conveys the land to AAA Management Rent-als , LLC, a California Limited Liability Compa-ny recorded July 16,2008 as Instrument No. 20080716-00109697-0 of Official Records The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designations, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession or encum-brances, to pay the re-maining principal sum of a note, homeowner’s as-sessment or other obliga-tion secured by this lien, with interest and other sum as provided therein: plus advances, if any, un-der the terms thereof and interest on such advanc-es, plus fees, charges, expenses of the Trustee and trust created by said lien. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable es-timated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $8,620.85. Payment must be in cash, a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state bank or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings & loan association, savings as-sociation, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. NOTICE 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 contact Priority Posting & Publishing for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit its website www.priorityposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property. Information about post-ponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re-flected in the telephone information or on the website. The best way to

verify postponement in-formation is to attend the scheduled sale. The ben-eficiary of said Lien here-to executed and deliv-ered to the undersigned, a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. Date: 2/24/2014 Asso-ciation Lien Services, as Trustee P.O.

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 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number as-signed to this case 12-19115. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

You should also be aware that the lien be-ing auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of out-standing liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county re-

corder’s office or a title insurance company, ei-ther of which may charge you a fee for this informa-tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Sec-tion 2924g of the Califor-nia Civil Code.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are 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 13-51670. 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 Declaration pursuant to California Civil Code, Section 2923.5(a) was fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded on 12/13/2013 Date: 3/13/2014 Old Repub-lic Default Management Services, A Division of Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, as Trustee 500 City Park-way West, Suite 200, Orange, CA 92868-2913 (866) 263-5802 For Sale Information Contact: Pri-ority Posting & Publishing (714) 573-1965 Dalaysia Ramirez, Trustee Sale Officer “We are attempt-ing to collect a debt, and any information we obtain will be used for that purpose.” P1086592 3/21, 3/28, 04/04/2014 TCS14-0101TS(1)

premiums, accrued in-terest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings as-sociation or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event ten-der other than cash is ac-cepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property of-fered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the suc-cessful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bid-ders If you are consid-ering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bid-ding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

CUMMINGSFrom page 11ARep. Issa presented a draft copy of a report written by House Republicans, as well as previously undisclosed emails from Lerner, which Issa claimed re-vealed ‘evidence’ of political targeting.

“What was omitted during the Fox appearance was that the September 2010 emails reveal Lerner counseling her colleagues to be careful not to focus on political activity while examining 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations. Early in that email chain, which was obtained by Media Matters, Lerner wrote: “My object is not to look for political activity–more to see whether self-declared c4s are really acting like c4s. Then we’ll move on to c5, c6, c7 – it will fill up the work plan forever!”

“Furthermore, the emails do not appear to be about reviewing organiza-tions’ applications for tax exempt status, which is the process the IRS is ac-cused of inappropriately conducting. Instead, the emails reference the ‘self declarer project,’ which attempts to review groups which self-declare as tax exempt but do not file an actual application, to ensure those groups are still following the rules. (The ‘Self-Declarers Questionnaire’ which tracks these groups is entirely voluntary.)”

Early in the Obama administration, Republican strategists made no secret of their plan to use Congressional hearings to harass Obama. And this was a perfect example of executing that strategy.

According to Talking Points Memo, a reporter asked Issa afterward if he was still “confident” the investigation would “get to the bottom of this.”

Issa replied, “It may well be we have gotten to the bottom of it. At this point, roads lead to Ms. Lerner. The witness who took the Fifth. That becomes – she becomes one of the key characters at this point. Had she been willing to explain those emails which were provided through separate subpoenas, then we could have perhaps brought this to a close. Without that, it may dead end with Ms. Lerner.”

Dead end or not, Issa demonstrated how the Republican majority in the House can twist an institution to satisfy their political needs – even when the discrediting campaign ends up in a dead end.

CAMPAIGNFrom page 1Brepresent 12 percent of the U.S. population, but only 5 percent of clinical trial participants. Hispanics make up 16 percent of the population, but only 1 per-cent of clinical trial participants.

In a statement released prior to the conference, John Castellani, president and CEO of PhRMA, commented, “PhRMA and our member companies are committed to raising awareness and increasing participation in clinical trials, particularly among historically underrepresented populations. Through this collaboration of health care leaders, we are taking a major step forward to help reduce health disparities through greater inclusiveness in clinical research.”accelerating inclusion

At the conference on Wednesday, experts noted how developing new medi-cines is a lengthy and complex process that relies heavily on volunteer participa-tion to evaluate potential therapies for safety and effectiveness in clinical studies.

“According to the FDA, increased diversity in clinical trials could help researchers find better ways to fight diseases that disproportionately impact certain populations, and may be important for the safe and effective use of new therapies,” Dr. Gary Puckrein, president and CEO of the National Minority Quality Forum, said in a statement.

“Through the I’m In campaign, new online resources such as the Clinical Trial Engagement Network will be introduced to empower individuals to learn more about clinical trials and the benefits of participating in clinical research,” he added.Online access

I’m In will support the buildup of the National Minority Quality Forum’s Clinical Trial Engagement Network, which will help accelerate the inclusion of underrepresented populations in clinical trials.

Authorized users will be able to quickly identify potential clinical trial par-ticipants by using zip-code level mapping of disease clusters and simultane-ously identifying and connecting points of care and community resources that can assist with site selection and patient recruitment.

Others participating in Wednesday’s conference included Dr. Carlos J. Cardenas of Doctors Hospital in McAllen, Texas and Dr. Ho Tran of the Na-tional Council of Asian Pacific Islander Physicians. Both expressed the impor-tance of minorities in the trials.‘For ourselves’

Anderson, who celebrated five years as a breast cancer survivor on Feb. 22, reiterated the importance of African-Americans being involved in clinical trials. She shared the joy of being able to see her grandchildren graduate from high school and to see them possibly get married.

“We have to do this for ourselves, our children, our grandchildren and our community,’’ she added.

At a conference in Washington, D.C. last week, Enroll America announced a partnership with the National Medical Association, a group of more than 37,000 Black doctors, to promote new, affordable health insurance coverage and to provide information on healthy living in the Black community. Enroll America and the NMA will expand outreach efforts already in place, working with Black religious denominations and “will focus on the 11 states that have large numbers of African Americans and others who are uninsured,” according to a press release. The states include Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michi-gan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.

Dr. Michael LeNoir, president of the National Medical Association, said that the partnership with Enroll America’s faith-based initiative just extends the relationship Black doctors have had with churches in the Black community for more than 100 years.

“The churches in the African American community play a pivotal role in informing people about the Affordable Care Act and encouraging them to en-roll for health coverage,” said LeNoir in a press release about the partnership with Enroll America’s faith-based initiative. “Our partnership with the faith community will provide our physicians with the opportunity to help the un-insured understand the long–term ramifications of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.”

The ACA made it illegal for insurance companies to deny coverage to any-one because of a pre-existing condition, a provision that is disproportionately beneficial to Blacks who suffer higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, HIV/AIDS and certain cancers than their White counterparts.

Black males lead all groups in cancer-related deaths and Black females die from cancer at great rates than other women.

More than 20 percent of Blacks under the age of 65 don’t have health in-surance. According to a recent poll by Enroll America nearly 70 percent of uninsured Blacks didn’t know that financial assistance is available to help pay for health insurance.

According to a December 2013 report by the Department of Health and Hu-man Services, six in 10 uninsured African Americans may qualify either for tax credits to purchase coverage in the Health Insurance Marketplace or for Medic-aid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). If all states expanded Medicaid coverage under the ACA, that figure would jump to 95 percent.

The problem is that most eligible, uninsured Blacks live in southern states that refused to expand Medicaid coverage under the ACA.

According to a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, almost 80 percent of people that fall in the coverage gap, live in the South And Southern states account for nearly half of all states that failed to expand Medicaid coverage. This move by state lawmakers, most of them Republican, will have a dispro-portionate effect on the health outcomes of millions of Blacks.

Ten percent of all eligible, uninsured Blacks live in Florida. Texas and Georgia each account for another 9 percent of uninsured Blacks that would qualify for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, if those states chose to expand the program.

According to the report by the Health Department, “The greater Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Detroit metropolitan areas are home to one-fifth (21 percent) of eligible uninsured African Americans.”

Those who choose not to sign up for a health insurance plan by March 31 will incur a penalty of $95 or 1 percent of their yearly household income, whichever is higher. A family of four could pay up to $285 in penalties if no one in the household is covered. If a person doesn’t ’t have health insurance in 2015, the penalty jumps to $325 per person or 2 percent of their yearly income.

Some people may be exempt from paying the fine, including those who go without insurance for less than three months of the year, people who don’t file a tax return because their income is too low or if the lowest-price coverage is more than 8 percent of a family’s household.

Others will qualify for a “hardship” exemption include homeless people, those who faced an eviction or filed for bankruptcy in the last six months and, in some cases, or victims of domestic violence. A complete list of exemptions and how to file for one is available at the HealthCare.gov. website. Questions can also be answered by calling 1-800-318-2596.

Etoy Ridgnal, director of African American Engagement and Faith Based Initiatives for Enroll America, said, “Folks should take the time to act now, go to a local community health center, local hospitals, local Urban League or the local NAACP office. Help is everywhere and it’s easily accessible, so there’s no reason that folks should not take this opportunity to get enrolled.”
