First Lady Michelle Obama energizes Wisconsin voters
On Monday, September 29, 2014, First Lady Michelle Obama made a campaign appearance in Milwaukee for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke. Speaking to an excited and jubilant crowd, Mrs. Obama spoke glowingly about the accomplishments of President Barack Obama's administration and why Wisconsin voters should elect Mary Burke governor on November 4th. Here are a few comments from her speech:
"Wisconsin, when folks ask me whether I still believe everything we said about hope and change back in 2008, I tell them that I believe it more strongly than ever before – because I’ve seen it with my own eyes! "I’ve seen our veterans finding jobs as our nation proudly supports their transi-
tion to civilian life. I’ve seen children getting better nutrition and growing up healthier. "I’ve seen young people from the most underserved areas reaching higher and going to college, and reaching back to their communities to bring others along. "So, yes, while we still have plenty of work to do, we have truly made so much of that change we were talking about. "And here’s what I want you to remember –Barack didn’t do all of that just sitting alone in the Oval Office. He did it with the help of outstanding leaders in states across this country. "We need that kind of leadership here in Wisconsin. We are going to get Mary Burke into office because that’s what people here in Wisconsin deserve, and that’s why we need to support Mary Burke for Governor. "We deserve leaders who believe like we do that
no matter how our kids start out in life, if they’re willing to work for it, they should have every opportunity to fulfill their boundless promise. They should have every opportunity to get a good education, and build a decent life for themselves and an even better life for their own kids. That’s the American Dream we all believe in, and that’s what this election in here in Wisconsin is all about. That’s what’s at stake. In fact, we need to be more passionate and hungrier, because races like this governor’s race here in Wisconsin will be even harder and even closer than those presidential elections. "We need to be energized and inspired for our kids, so that they have opportunities they need to build the future they deserve. "Mark November 4th on your calendars and of everyone you know. And then on Election Day, when you head to the polls to vote for Mary Burke for Governor, bring everyone you know along with you. "We all need to be as passionate and as hungry for this election as we were back in 2008 and 2012!"

On Thursday, September 25, 2014 Mayor Tom Barrett (top photo, center left) and Alderman Russell Stamper (left) cut the ribbon on Milwaukee’s newest park located at the southeast corner of 14th and Wright. Mayor Barrett’s HOME GR/OWN initiative worked to turn this previously vacant city-owned lot into a local park. Ezekiel Gillespie Park is the biggest neighborhood vacant lot improvement completed by HOME GR/OWN to date. The park's namesake, Ezekiel Gillespie, was a civil rights pioneer who lived in Milwaukee and is the founder of Milwaukee's first African American church, St. Mark AME, located at 1616 West Atkinson Ave.

Ald. Bob Donovan speaks to Pastors United City of Milwaukee Health
Ald. Bob Donovan who represents the 8th Aldermanic Districton Milwaukee’s south side, has announced his candidacy for mayor of Milwaukee in 2016. He was one of the speakers during the Pastors United September 18, 2014 meeting at Jerusalem Baptist Church, 2505 W. Cornell Street. "I’m sure some of you are wondering what this Irish, Catholic, loud mouth from the south side
"I want to reach out to all of you..."
Ald. Bob Donovan
for mayor. It was a huge decision, something my wife and I pondered over. “This will be an uphill batof Milwaukee is doing here," Donovan said in stating his tle. My wife said 'you either purpose for attending the stand for something in life pastors' meeting. Well, it’s to or you step aside'. I decided ask something very impor- to stand for something that tant of all of you, and as you I strongly believe in – it’s a are very aware, I’m running better Milwaukee. I’m asking
your permission to visit your churches to listen to you and members of your congregations. “I want to reach out to all of you to learn of our biggest challenges. Once we’ve identified those challenges, we come up with a team and create a strategic plan for addressing those challenges which face the city of Milwaukee. Over the next six to eight months, I plan to have listening sessions and engage people and work toward solutions for our problems. “In a leadership role, I believe you identify the problem and then you devise a plan that must be embraced by the people to solve the problem.” Ald. Donovan was warmly received and he spent time before the meeting chatting with several of the pastors.
Eric Holder to step down as U.S. Attorney General Attorney General Eric Holder announced Thursday, September 25, 2014, he will resign as the nation's top law enforcement official but will remain in office until a successor is confirmed. President Barack Obama made the announcement of the resignation at the White House on Thursday afternoon. He hasn't yet chosen a successor. Mr. Holder, who has been on the job since the beginning of the Obama administration, has long signaled he planned to leave the job by the end of 2014. He could ultimately stay in his post beyond year-end if the White House's nomination process doesn't go smoothly. An official said the attorney general and the president have had several discussions about his planned departure, which were completed at a Labor Day meeting at the White House. The attorney general had been asking for such a conversation for months, according to people close to him, and had planned to discuss his departure with the president in August when they both vacationed on Martha's Vineyard. The two did speak, but they were consumed with responding to the crisis in Ferguson, MO, where angry protesters repeatedly clashed with heavily armed police after an officer shot and killed an unarmed 18-year-old. Among those mentioned as possible successors is former White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, according to people familiar with the discussions. She and Mr. Holder had dinner together at a Washington restaurant last month. Ms. Ruemmler is
highly regarded by the president and senior White House officials, according to these people, but picking someone who was part of the president's inner circle could prompt resistance among Senate Republicans. Another candidate being considered by the White House is Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, who argued the government's case in the 2012 challenge to the Affordable Care Act before the Supreme Court. His performance included some stumbles, including choking momentarily during his defense of the president's main legislative achievement. Mr. Verrilli was redeemed when the Supreme Court ruled in the administration's favor and largely upheld the law. The first black attorney general, Mr. Holder is one of a handful of remaining cabinet members whose tenures date back to the beginning of the Obama administration. Mr. Holder's last year on the job has been marked by a push to strike multibillion dollar settlements with big banks over their conduct leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, in the face of criticism that he failed to charge any senior executives for their roles in the meltdown. His department recently extracted a record $16.65 billion from Bank of America Corp. for its sale of flawed mortgages, and last year it reached a $13 billion mortgage settlement with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. His tenure has been marked by confrontations with Republicans in Congress, principally over terrorism, a botched gunrunning probe called Fast and Furious, and
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder an investigation into the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. Holder's chief nemesis in Congress, Rep. Darrell Issa (R., CA) on Thursday called him "the most divisive U.S. Attorney General in modern history." In a tweet Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R—SC) wrote, "I appreciate AG Holder's service to our country even though we had strong disagreements at times." Such disagreements are unlikely to fade away for Mr. Holder's successor. Still, Democrats have the power to confirm Mr. Obama's executive-branch nominees with just a simple majority, thanks to a rule change last November. The Senate generally needs 60 votes to get legislation past procedural hurdles but needs only 51 to get a nominee confirmed. That could be an incentive for Democrats to try to push through Mr. Holder's successor when they return to Washington for the lameduck session, particularly if Republicans have won control of the chamber in November's midterm elections.
Department to host free immunization clinic
The City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) will hold free immunization clinics Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the MHD Keenan Health Center (3200 N. 36th St.) and Southside Health Center (1639 S. 23rd St.) to provide schoolrequired immunizations to children who are uninsured, whose insurance doesn’t cover immunizations, or children who have public health insurance such as BadgerCare Plus or Medicaid. “Compliance rates within Milwaukee schools have steadily been improving to an all-time high thanks to the coordinated efforts of the City of Milwaukee Health Department, Milwaukee Public Schools, private schools, health care providers and the newly formed Immunize Milwaukee coalition,” said Mayor Tom Barrett. “But we are still not yet at the public health goal of 95 percent of students receiving their required vaccinations. This will require a sustained effort to achieve.” Weekday walk-in clinics are also held at all three MHD health center locations daily.
“Immunizations protect children from catching serious and even life-threatening diseases and spreading them to others,” said Commissioner of Health Bevan K. Baker. “We urge all parents to get their children schoolrequired vaccinations to help their children and all area children stay healthy throughout the school year.” Wisconsin Law requires that children be immunized against a range of illnesses such as mumps, measles, and pertussis in order to attend school and child care settings. These special clinics are offered to assist parents in complying with state law to avoid children being excluded from school. The MHD cannot provide immunizations to children or adults with private insurance. Those with private insurance must contact a health care provider for all immunization services.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Part I) October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness Month but it is also National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. This month I will use this column to recognize both as they are equally important. During the first two weeks, I will address Breast Cancer Awareness and during the final two weeks, this column will address Intimate Partner/Domestic Abuse. Be sure to pick up your copy of the Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper and share it with a friend. This column will begin with facts about breast cancer and suggest how you can become an advocate for cancer research. Did you know breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers? According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in the U.S. for 2014: • About 232,670 new cases
of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women. • About 62,570 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer). • About 40,000 women will die from breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman's death is about 1 in 36 (about 3 percent). Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1989, with larger decreases in women younger than 50. These decreases are believed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment. Presently, there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. (This includes women still being treated and those who have completed treatment.) Become an advocate FACT: The federal gov-
and death due to cancer. Become an advocate for cancer research. Get involved by sending a message to your Congress representatives at: http://acscan.org/research/getinvolved. Tell your representatives to protect funding for research that will develop better early detection tools and treatments and improve patientcentered care for breast cancer. ernment is the nation's largest funder of cancer research. FACT: Insurance companies begin covering many cancer screenings - like mammograms, colonoscopies and Pap tests - because the American Cancer Society and its advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) help get laws passed requiring them to do so. FACT: More than 30 states and thousands of communi-
ties are now smoke-free as a result of advocacy. These are just a few reasons why cancer is not just a medical issue; it is a public policy issue as well. From the local city council to the U.S. Congress, the American Cancer Society and ACS CAN engage with elected and appointed officials to ensure that cancer remains a top local, state and national priority. Through advocacy, together we can be successful in eliminating suffering

Nathan Conyers goes one-on-one with Attorney General candidate Brad Schimel
NC: Why are you running for the position of Attorney General? BRAD SCHIMEL: I’ve got two daughters and they’re both in middle school and I believe my kids and everybody’s kids deserve a safe Wisconsin. I’m running as that candidate with almost 25 years of frontline prosecution in Waukesha County. I’ve got the experience to know how to take on those tough public safety charges in Wisconsin. NC: From that comment, I take it you’re saying there’s a crime problem in Wisconsin? BS: Absolutely there is. And there are things that are affecting every kind of neighborhood in the cities. For example, heroin, prescription, and opium problems are affecting every facet of urban, suburban, rural, no matter what kind of neighborhood, this is spreading fast and it is destroying families. This is no time to have an Attorney General to be learning on the job. You’ve got to hit the ground running on this. We can’t allow watching our young people die. NC: Are you suggesting that your opponent will be learning on the job?
BS: She’s a nice person, but she only has six years, limited experience as a prosecutor, and most importantly she hasn’t demonstrated that she has a vision for the office. We have released detailed plans from our office and later today I plan to address violence against women. I’ve worked with the experts in the field and certainly one place I want to take advantage is the violence problems in the city. Every parent should be able to let their child play freely on the playground, on the porch, or wait safely for the bus at the bus stop. But it’s heartbreaking to know there are bullets flying past in each of these places. The most important thing we can do as parents is to protect our kids and when the day comes that we can’t, that’s heartbreaking. NC: How does crime differ in the City of Milwaukee to that of a rural community like Oconomowoc? BS: Well certainly, drug problems affect every community, but what differs in Waukesha County and Oconomowoc is that we don’t have that violent crime; they’re not worried about their child waiting at the bus stop. NC: What could you

Brad Schimel who is a candidate for Wisconsin Attorney General on the Nov. 4th general election ballot was introduced to several individuals from Milwaukee’s African American community at the home of Gerard Randall Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014. Pictured with Schimel, who is a Republican from Waukesha, are: Rahim Islam, Gerard Randall, John Belcher, Welton Dye, Joseph Miotke, Khenzer Senat, Johnny Meyer and Jason Fields. have done as Attorney General to circumvent Sierra Guyton from getting shot on the Clarke Street playground? BS: One of the big challenges is that the Milwaukee DA’s office is tremendously understaffed, and they’re not able to deal with the fix-the
broken-window-type-problem because they’re working on bigger problems. I would like to see the Department of Justice have a stronger partnership with Milwaukee County law enforcement. They’re doing good things here; they work hard, but I think we need to designate
some prosecutors to Milwaukee county to help prosecute the gun and gang cases because we’ve got to give those neighborhoods a chance to get up and as long as gangs and violent criminals abound, people are not worried about their lawns, they’re worried about their children’s safety.
2014 Milwaukee Heart Walk & Fun Run brings a whole new look American Heart Association asks everyone to focus on why they walk
Many people walked in tribute to survivors and those who lost their lives to heart disease and stroke.
Thousands walked in the American Heart Association’s Milwaukee Heart Walk and Fun Run on Sunday, September 28, 2014. Funds raised help support the fight against heart disease and stroke. (MILWAUKEE) – The erans Park on Milwaukee’s American Heart Association lakefront, Sunday, September invited the public to Vet- 28, 2014 for the Milwaukee
Heart Walk & Fun Run. With interactive exhibits, health screenings, exercise demonstrations and healthy snacks, this event had something for people of all ages. Everyone had the chance to learn how to take control of their heart health and help others to do the same. Many attendees had a deeply personal and emotional reason for attending the walk. Lorena Alfageme shared the near-death story of her daughter, Valeria. One of our Top Walkers, Andy Schaser of Thrivent Financial, received a heart transplant just four months ago. GE had a large team which was dedicated to one of their own, Charlene Grabowski, who recently suffered a cardiac event. Attendees were asked to help us break a world record for the most people jumping rope simultaneously… while wearing duck costumes! This was a tribute to “Quacky” and his friends, the very successful Jump Rope For Heart incentive program. Also, in the Kids Zone, people had the chance to hold an actual heart thanks to Aurora Health Care. This year’s Walk featured our largest Kids Zone ever and a new Pets Zone, too. Gospel artist Marcus “Elder Mac” McFar-
lin performed the National Anthem. The Milwaukee native recently won the American Heart Association’s national Most Powerful Voices Contest. Eighty percent of heart disease and stroke can be prevented by quitting smoking, exercising more and eating healthier. The event featured several booths designed to help people get active. Walkers had the chance to walk either a one mile or a three mile route. However, this year there was a 5k Fun Run as well. A healthy diet is important too, so the event featured healthy snacks, fresh fruit and water for everyone. Attendees got the opportunity to learn the two steps to save a life through HandsOnly CPR. As a result, they can help our You’re the Cure network by advocating for CPR in schools. In addition, a wide variety of the American Heart Association’s programs were on display with opportunities for everyone to get involved. The Heart Walk is the premier fundraising event for the American Heart Association. Money raised helps fund groundbreaking research, education and training for medical professionals and public education and awareness campaigns. Over the
past five years, the American heart Association has spent nearly $14 million funding 128 new research studies in the state of Wisconsin alone. “We are thrilled with the number of passionate people who put in the time and effort to help us fundraise person-to-person. I’d especially like to thank our Chair, David Carpenter with Chr. Hansen for his leadership over the past year,” said Heart Walk Director Megan Wurz. “So many local companies have gotten behind our efforts as well, sponsoring the event and recruiting huge walk teams. Heart disease and stroke affect 1-in-3 people in every community, regardless of age, gender or race. That’s why it’s great to see the whole community come together to fight these largely preventable diseases.” Heart Walk is sponsored nationally by Subway Restaurants and locally by Labor/ Management Healthcare Coalition, U.S. Bank, GE, Chr. Hansen, Sensient, Wheaton Franciscan Health Care, Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin, ProHealth Care, Novo Nordisk, Evans Transportation Services, Inc. and GMR Marketing.

What’s Happening?
Special man of God continues teaching
Staff Photo
There is one special man of God who retired after a long tenure of dedicated service pastoring Mount Zion Baptist Church in Zion, Illinois for 47 years and then becoming interim pastor of Canaan Missionary Baptist church on Milwaukee’s near north side for almost two years. Sometimes retirees travel and sometimes they volunteer, but this retiree, Rev. Dr. B.J. Gaston of Milwaukee, continues to find time to preach the word of God when called upon to minister, educate, inspire, and yes, laugh with an intimate group of followers in his Northside home. Because of his love for Jesus Christ, Dr. Gaston, for more than a year, provided spiritual instruction to family and friends every Thursday evening in his home with enlightenment, biblical inspiration, and love for an hour.
"Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery." - Horace Mann
Class participants recently gathered in the home of Dr. Gatson for their first Bible Study Fellowship Barbecue with all the fixings of a soul food dinner. Dr. Gatson is surrounded
by Brother Merdell and Sister Ruby McWilliams, Sister Erma Bowles, Sister Aretha Miller, Brother Michael Adams, Dr. Louise Mormon, Rev. Dr. Frederick Jones, Rev. Dr. Ellis

Think you know the dropout rates for Black males? You’re probably wrong (part 3 of 3)
The data to support a dropout crisis among black students are being misreported and used to support stigmatizing tactics
By: Ivory A. Toldson, Ph.D. The often stated notion that more than half of black males drop out, or do not graduate, is not true. Cohort graduation-rate calculations miss students who graduate late, graduate early, obtain a GED or transfer to schools outside their district. None of this information should be construed to minimize the importance of collective action to promote black male achievement. Putting this information in perspective, we should acknowledge that completion rates for black males continue to lag behind white males. I have described how widespread recitals and simplistic representations of very complex calculations of the dropout rate and graduation rate are creating more problems than solutions for black males. People who do
not understand how any given statistic is derived simply should not use the statistic. And people who know the truth but continue to distort and sensationalize the problem through statistics because they want people to pay attention to them are a part of the problem. Earlier this year, Adam Eugene, a sophomore at Destrehan High School in New Orleans, told me, “Dr. Toldson, we have been hearing negative things about ourselves all of our lives. This is the first time that we are hearing that the news about us isn’t all bad. A lot of times, when children hear negative things, they start to believe they can’t learn and give up. So my question is, what are you doing to make sure children much younger than us hear the truth about themselves?” What are we doing?
The facts: How the Malcolm X development is moving forward
District documents show taxpayers are receiving work products to complete project The following is a statement by Milwaukee Board of School Directors President Michael Bonds regarding reporting on the Malcolm X project: “Recent news coverage may be causing confusion about what Milwaukee taxpayers are receiving in an agreement between Milwaukee Public Schools and the former developer of the Malcolm X Academy building, which the district will convert to a high-performing International Baccalaureate school in the fall of 2016. “Coverage in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has referred to the payment of ‘fees’ the paper estimates at up to $1 million dollars. That information is incorrect. “As the district detailed on its website on September 26, 2014, it is receiving work product, including construction drawings and other materials, that are needed as the project moves forward. The compensation, which is ap-
Michael Bonds proximately $500,000, is far less than the $1 million noted by the Journal Sentinel. It was vetted by the independent consultant used by the City of Milwaukee and found to be customary. “How school buildings are used is an important topic. In order to have a honest conversation about them, taxpayers deserve to have the facts.”

Donald Driver speaks to students at Jeremiah Curtin Leadership Academy. Green Bay Packers’ alltime leading receiver, “Dancing with the Stars” champion, and children’s book author Donald Driver was joined by educators, children and health care providers to celebrate Wisconsin Bullying Prevention Awareness Day at Jeremiah Curtin Leadership Academy, a K-8 MPS school on Thursday, September 25, 2014. Curtin has demonstrated success in reducing bullying through Act Now!, the bullying prevention program that is a collaborative partnership between the Department of Public Instruction, Milwaukee Public Schools and Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Curtin’s efforts over the past two years found that girls and boys who reported being bullied decreased by 68 percent. Donald Driver is helping to reinforce the importance of reducing bullying through the release of his newest book, Quickie Stands Up to a Bully! due out later this year. “I’m honored to join Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin to deliver a message kids need to hear. Quickie gives us a chance to talk about tough topics in a safe, fun way,” said Driver. “Children need to feel safe and secure in order to be ready to learn.” Driver’s long-standing commitment to the community includes his “Quickie” series of children’s books. During the 2013-14 school year, more than 40,000 students in more than 100 school districts participated in Act Now! statewide. Over the past several years, state-
wide efforts have shown that boys who reported being bullied decreased by 32 percent and physical bullying decreased by 26 percent. In that same time frame, intervention by other students in bullying situations increased by 31 percent and interventions by teachers by 38 percent. Committed to families across Wisconsin, Children’s Hospital created a new online bullying education and prevention resource just for parents, ParentsActNow. com. ParentsActNow.com provides parents with valuable information and effective strategies. ParentsActNow.com supports the existing Act Now! student curriculum and school staff training. The e-learning student curriculum and the innovative staff training component help schools battle bullying by empowering bystanders and improving school climate. Act Now! for students and staff currently is offered at no cost to Wisconsin schools thanks to the generosity of many funding partners, especially Zink the Zebra Foundation.
“Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin is committed to keeping kids healthy and safe. That’s why we created Act Now! bullying prevention e-learning courses. Our research proves Act Now! is effective in producing positive changes in knowledge, attitude and behavior and improving school climate,” said Bridget Clementi, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Community Health and Education executive director. “Parents have asked for strategies to help their children avoid being bullied or prevent them from bullying others. This new resource for parents of school-age children from K4 through high school will be a valuable tool in helping to reduce bullying, making schools safer and ensuring that children will feel safe so they can learn.” For more information about Act Now! and other Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin e-learning programs, call toll-free (866) 228-5670 or visit healthykidslearnmore.com.

Brad Schimel (Continued from pg. 9) NC: What can be done then on the front end of life as opposed to on the back end, where we’re sending young people to prison for long periods of time that may have them becoming involved in criminal activity? BS: Our treatment programs give people a chance at reducing prison populations. If you put people who are addicted on probation they’re doomed to fail standard probation, because they can’t help them deal with the addiction, help them get clean and have the tools to stay clean. Drug treatment courts have the tools to help them stay sober and keep them out of prison and that’s one start. Diversion programs and mentoring programs are working strong out there and that’s another tool for keeping people out of prison. NC: There’s a situation here in Milwaukee where the family is pressing to know the name of the officer who shot the civilian in Red Arrow Park. How would you have handled that situation? BS: I don’t know enough about the details except what I’ve read in the newspaper, and I know I’d want to talk to all those people whose lives are affected by this, the DA, the police, the family members. I can’t pretend as someone who’s lived his whole life in the suburbs to know what the family members are going through. I’d have a lot of questions. NC: Republican candidates who run for office tend to shy away from the African American community. Do you know why? BS: It might be because they’re doing the electoral calculus. As attorney general I’m everybody’s attorney general. 124th street is not the Berlin Wall; we have to care about each other’s problems, Waukesha-Milwaukee and Milwaukee-Waukesha and throughout the entire state. I’m running on creating a safe Wisconsin and I have bipartisan support. I don’t care which party you’re in, I’m here to help everyone, Milwaukee, Racine, Madison, Oshkosh, everywhere. NC: What was the catalyst for your seeking this office? BS: I knew we needed an attorney general who develops relationships with others, that we needed someone with experience, someone who wants to solve Wisconsin’s problems. We should be able to count on an attorney general who follows the laws as they’re written by the legislature and that is what I plan on doing.

Three ways to make losing weight easier
CITY OF MILWAUKEE NOW HIRING FOR PUBLIC SAFETY CAREERS
Milwaukee Police Department POLICE OFFICER APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED
1. Be realistic. You didn’t gain all of those unwanted pounds overnight, right? Well, you’re not going to lose all of them overnight either. Whether you have 15, 40 or 100+ pounds to lose, it’s going to take some time, so don’t beat yourself up. You’re only human for goodness sake, so expect a few slipups along the way. And get this: Studies have shown that those who lose weight gradually and steadily are more likely to keep it off in the long run. Start making healthier choices today and watch those pounds melt off. 2. Make fitness fun. Many of us groan at the thought of working out, but exercise doesn’t have to be a drag. Why not spice it up by adding a buddy (you could even throw in a friendly competition), signing up for a group class or taking up a
sport. Also, mix it up! No one wants to do the same exercise routine day in and day out. If the treadmill is your thing, try switching it up by walking around your neighborhood on a nice day. Your workout is what you make it, so make it fun! 3. Do it for yourself. “Why do I want to lose weight?” “Do I want to improve my health?” “Am I doing it to please others?” “Am I setting realistic goals?” “How will I track my progress?” These are just some of the questions you should be asking yourself before beginning your weight loss journey. Losing weight is already stressful enough and doing so for the wrong reasons can make it worse. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to shed a little extra weight as long as you do it for you and you only.

Personal Finance & Business
By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs
Before co-signing a loan, know the risks Shakespeare probably said it best: "Neither a borrower, nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend." Four hundred years later, people still wrestle with whether or not to help out a loved one by loaning them money or co-signing a loan. Perhaps you want to help your kid qualify for a better student loan rate or assist your widowed mom with refinancing her mortgage. Before you co-sign anything, however, make sure you understand the risks involved. Here are just a few of the things that can go wrong and questions to ask before committing yourself – and your good credit – to what could be a decades-long commitment: First, understand that the main reason you're being asked to co-sign a loan is because lenders don't think the borrower is a good risk. By co-signing, you're guaranteeing that you'll repay the full loan – plus any late fees or collection costs – should the borrower default. If that doesn't scare you sufficiently, read on: • Even one late or missed payment can damage your credit.
• In most states, the creditor can – and probably will – go after you for repayment without first trying to collect from the borrower, because they know you're more likely to have the money. • If the loan goes into default or is charged off, that fact will go into your credit report and can take seven years to erase. • If you pledged personal property to secure the loan, you could lose these items if the borrower defaults. • Should the lender agree to settle for a lesser amount, you'll have to report the difference as "debt forgiveness income" and pay tax on it. • If you cosign a credit card account, primary borrowers over age 21 are allowed to raise the credit limit without notifying you. • Government-backed student loans generally aren't eligible for bankruptcy protection unless you can prove "undue hardship." • Some private student loans contain a clause allowing the borrower to originate additional years' loans without your signed approval. • Even if you're not asked to repay the loan, your potential liability could stop you

from getting additional credit if your debt-to-income ratio is too high. If you do decide to co-sign someone's loan, taking these steps can help lessen your risk: • Calculate whether you can afford the loan's monthly payments, should the borrower stop paying. To be prudent, start setting aside
enough money to cover it for one year, which will allow you to keep payments current while working out a solution. • Insist that the lender agree, in writing, to notify you if the borrower missed a payment or the loan's terms change. That'll give you more time to make contingency plans. • If you're unsure about the borrower's reliability to pay each month on time, ask the lender to send payment requests directly to you so you can manage the transaction. (It's a pain, but one way to guarantee timely payments.) • Ask the lender to stipulate in the contract that you're only responsible for
the loan's principal amount, should it default. It doesn't hurt to ask. • Make sure you get copies of all paperwork in case of future disputes. • Don't consolidate old loans accumulated by your spouse before you married. If something should happen (divorce, death), you would be responsible for paying them off. There may be times you want to cosign a loan to help out a relative or friend, despite the risks involved.
