Bernice King turns over father’s bible and Nobel Peace Prize to court Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., confirmed Thursday, March 7, 2014 that she will comply with a judge’s order to turn over her father’s Bible as well as his Nobel Peace Prize.

After Ms. King’s brothers, Dexter King and Martin Luther King III, filed suit against her to take control of their father’s personal items, Fulton County, GA Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered her to turn over the Bible and Nobel Peace Prize to the court.

“While some have suggested that I not turn over these sacred items and risk going to jail, I must say that, after

a great deal of dialogue, discussion, deep soul-searching and much prayer, I am led by the Holy Spirit to comply with the court order,” she said, according to Reuters.

In a previous interview, Bernice King said that her two brothers want to sell their father’s items but she doesn’t believe they should be put up for sale.

“Look at this for what it is,” said Ms. King. “I had to stand on principle in this particular issue. This is not about a fight for me, but these are Bernice King very sacred items and you don’t sell them…they should ference, Bernice King called not be bought.” on her brothers to reconAt Thursday’s press con- sider their decision to sell Dr.

King’s items to the highest bidder.

“To my two brothers, whom I love and respect greatly, I implore you to consider the magnitude of this moment in history and how you want your individual legacies to be defined,” she concluded.

A lawyer involved in a dispute over Martin Luther King Jr.'s Bible and Nobel Peace Prize says few words were exchanged as King's daughter surrendered the items which were put in a safe deposit box on Tuesday, March 11, 2014.

A judge had ordered the items be kept there, with the

World-renowned Morehouse College Glee Club takes its spring tour to Milwaukee seeking Wisconsin scholars The celebrated Morehouse College Glee is making a stop in the midwest on their annual spring concert tour. They will perform at Holy Redeemer Institutional Church of God in Christ in Milwaukee on Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 7 p.m.

The concert, which is free and open to the public, is made possible via personal support from Charles Harvey, chief diversity officer for Johnson Controls and

his wife Cheryl; Morehouse Trustee Dale Jones; and Morehouse alumnus Greg Martin, vice president and general manager of Lena’s Food Market, in partnership with the Milwaukee Public School System.

One of the goals of the concert is to raise visibility about Morehouse College among prospective students and their families to create a more robust environment for recruitment of top students

from the Milwaukee area.

In 2012, Morehouse College and the Milwaukee Public School System formed a partnership to create The Wisconsin Scholars Program. The program aims to address the nationwide problem of declining enrollment at colleges and universities for African American men.

The program launched with more than $800,000 in scholarship support for the first cohort from the Milwaukee

keys held by the court, until the dispute is settled.

Lawyer William Hill, who represents the slain civil rights icon's estate, tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the Rev. Bernice King gave the items to her brother Martin Luther King III so they could be placed in the safe deposit box during a Monday meeting that was over in five minutes.

Bernice and her father's estate, which is controlled by her brothers, are locked in a legal dispute over the ownership of the Bible and peace prize.

Public School System. That support came from corporations and philanthropic leaders in the Milwaukee area.

Currently, there are 15 young men from Wisconsin attending Morehouse as part of The Wisconsin Scholars Program.

Being Frank Smile for the camera In 1984 by George Orwell, Big Brother was always watching the population via cameras located throughout the city and in homes.

In 2014 Milwaukee intends on placing more cameras throughout various business districts. The idea is to cut back on crime by letting potential criminals know their actions are being watched.

At first thought this may seem outlandish but why stop there?

On Friday March 7, 2014 Milwaukee city officials launched a new program that would increase the number of cameras in business areas.

This program if successful could lead to up to 500 cameras being around the city monitoring the populace.

Many businesses already use surveillance cameras to keep both business and patrons safe. In several instances footage from these cameras has led to the arrest of

people involved in criminal activity. But why stop with business districts?

Crime has been a constant in Milwaukee for decades.

The known crime areas haven’t changed that much since the 60’s. Protecting businesses is one thing but what about protecting citizens? There are many people who live in areas where they feel insecure because of their neighbors. Protecting a thriving business is nice but what protects the unfortunate people in these situations? Could surveillance cameras do this?

Anyone who has driven down an inner city street on a hot evening can attest to the amount of people that loiter. In all fairness the people loitering usually live in the area. But does living in an area give you the right to become a distraction or nuance to others? Not everyone who hangs out on the

block is up to skullduggery but many are. Would police cameras stationed strategically on a known troubled street cut down on loitering and other activity? Would a camera keep young thugs from harassing others and vandalizing property?

The use of cameras in parks might enable everyone to enjoy some of the inner city parks. A good set of surveillance cameras would enable everyone to enjoy the park. True, people would still do crazy things but the film would ensure their capture and incarceration would be quick. Areas with high drug activity could be blanketed with cameras to cut down

on all activity. What person is going to make a drug deal knowing the police have the act on film?

Surveillance cameras don’t have to be limited to highrisk areas. Areas that sport a low crime rate can be made to stay that way by a few cameras posted. The nice calm neighborhood can stay that way because any unwanted activity can be quickly identified and neutralized. The American Dream would be that much closer to reality.

There are some people who insist the use of surveillance cameras would infringe on privacy. This could be true but it falls back on the use of the cameras. The cameras could be used to spy into people’s houses but since they will be police monitored that scenario is unlikely. Keep in mind everything is being taped so if a camera is used for the wrong reason the act will be

quickly resolved. No system of defense is perfect but the chance of possibly ending unwanted criminal activity is too great.

The USA is a technologybased culture. People are used to cameras and being watched to a degree.

To wisely use surveillance cameras to ensure safety in neighborhoods is a measure that needs to be considered seriously. No one is saying put cameras in people’s living rooms, wait that may just work.

The battle over Common Core educational standards in Wisconsin By: Urban Media News In 2010, Wisconsin joined 45 states across the country to adopt the Common Core educational standards for what students should learn in English and math. The standards won’t be fully implemented until next year, but a chorus of Tea Party Republicans are already looking to end Common Core before it reaches Wisconsin class-

rooms.

A proposal created by Gov. Scott Walker’s office to undo the Common Core standards would create a brand new 15 member state board appointed by the governor and state superintendent of public instruction. The board’s function will be to create standards for English, reading, social studies, science, and math. The proposal gives the board an incredible amount

Education should have a long-term focus, but of power in shaping educa- with a committee of legislation standards - including the tors calling the shots, it’s likeability to completely ignore ly that Wisconsin’s education any suggested changes that system will be at the whim of may come from the Depart- the next election cycle. ment of Public Instruction.

The growing chorus in op-

position to the bill includes Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke. Burke knows a thing or two about education; she serves on the Madison School Board and helped create the highly praised AVID/TOPS program, a unique public-private partnership that works to close the achievement gap.

Burke fears that the proposed plan will not only politicize education, but that it will also waste three years of work and resources.

Since adopting Common Core, Wisconsin’s school districts have spent an estimated $25 million creating curriculum to fit the standards.

A move to scrap Common Core would mean school districts shelling out even more money to train teachers, review instructional materials, and review curriculum. In districts that receive little or no state general aid, the cost will largely fall upon the taxpayers, not the state. The bill essentially makes taxpayers pay more to implement education standards tiers below the national model.

Ultimately, this plan hurts children the most. The rigorous Common Core standards make sure educators understand what will prepare children for college and a career. A plan to halt the implementation of new and improved standards only makes that harder to do.

Without any upside to the bill drafted by Scott Walker’s staff; it’s a no-brainer to give Common Core the chance to work.

Three tips to attain modern success By: Dr. F. Emelia Sam A soul-centered scribe at heart, Author 'I Haven't Found Myself' Imprinted within our psyches is the notion that success is something that should be visible. Until recently, it has had a rather distinct look to it.

The conventional checklist consisted of a distinguished job title with commensurate pay, marriage, a healthy family, an oversized home, expensive cars and exotic trips.

While today's success story may include some of those things, we are awakening to the sense that something more is to be considered.

The traditional paradigm is losing its grip and many are searching to find alternative measures of accomplishment.

Here are three tips to find success as it transitions away from its time-honored definition.

1. Shift to an internal barometer.

Our focus is shifting from what we look like to what we feel like. In the past, personal satisfaction has been overlooked in the name of responsibility and sacrifice.

Though we wish to remain responsible, sacrificing our sense of well-being is no longer a bargaining chip. We understand the physiological effects of stress and we are starting to more openly discuss mental health issues.

The topic of happiness is being actively researched. No longer solely looked at as an incidental occurrence, happiness is now considered a necessity -- and a right.

Paulo Coelho sums it up nicely in his book Manuscript Found in Accra. He writes, "What is success? It is being able to go to bed each night

Dr. F. Emelia Sam with your soul at peace."

2. Change from a macro perspective to a micro outlook.

Don't wait until your latter years to question what kind of life you have led.

Of course, the assumption is that all of us are fortunate enough to get to our latter years.

We believe we'll have the opportunity to look back and ask ourselves, "Have I lived a good life? Do I have any regrets?" What if you start to regularly ask, "Did I enjoy today? Am I happy at this moment?"

Repetitive reflection is a feature of contemporary success. The endpoint is not the singular focus. You don't wait until you reach your destination. You make it a habit to appreciate the scenery along the way.

3. Give yourself permission to evolve.

From the time we are toddlers, society encourages us to keep narrowing our paths.

We tell the 4-year-old that she cannot be a doctor, a ballerina and an artist as she insists she must.

By the time we reach young adulthood, most of us experience some anxiety about choosing the "right" thing.

The old way was to find a good paying job, ride it out, and collect a pension. That

Rebuilding our Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Community BySpecial for the Milwaukee Times Saving our sons In in the midst of the social and economic down turns over the past three decades or so, African Americans and their families have been under tremendous pressure to somehow survive.

It appears that much of what was accomplished through the civil rights bills of the 1960’s has been lost, turned back and altered. Additionally, most major manufacturers and the technical skills training needed to hold those jobs have also disappeared from many of our American cities. What has been more alarming is that in the midst of this crisis, the impact has also caused many parents to lose sight of their children, especially their sons.

Since the mid 1980’s until today, many laws in America has been rewritten and amended to hand out stiffer minimum sentences, even for nonviolent crimes. As a result, the prison population in nearly every state has quadrupled. Of course crime rates rise when there is high unemployment, lack of opportunity, limited education and no economic mobility.

In particular, this has resulted in a much higher incarcerway of life is quickly disappearing.

In the times of traditionalists and Baby Boomers, changing course was viewed as immaturity. However, we are witnessing a different pattern in Millenials and some of Gen X. In pursuit of a fulfilling existence, course correction is perfectly acceptable.

Ultimately, success has become about giving oneself the room to evolve into what is called for by that period of life. Personal satisfaction is at the helm. We acknowledge that success may be behind multiple doorways. Though we can't walk through all, we are willing to explore more than one to obtain a better fit.

In conclusion, strict parameters once delineated who could be considered successful and who could not. Over time, we are seeing that success continues to become a very personal experience and that individual vision holds more importance than societal influence. We've peeled back the outdated layers and have thankfully discovered that success has a soul.

The Counseling Corner

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Has your spiritual growth ever felt stuck in neutral? (Week 2) We all have met them. You know those super dynamic Christians who can walk in a room and absolutely charge the room like electricity because of their anointing! You’ve never seen them walking around moping, complaining, in fact you’ve rarely seen them with a negative attitude. Even when they are sick, their eyes seem to say: “I’m Blessed And Highly Favored!” Deep down inside you are wondering “Is this all an act? How can anyone be so full of spiritual energy and motivated to serve the Lord?” Have you ever wondered privately or out loud how did they get there and how can you begin living a more spiritually full, richer and fulfilling life? This month our topic is spiritual growth, or for some, the lack thereof.

In this tremendous tempting society, we can be tempted to forget about our daily spiritual maintenance and end up feeling spiritually stuck in the neutral zone. You are not going backwards spiritually, but

you are not progressing forward either. If you feel your spiritual life is stuck in neutral, let me suggest integrating more prayer and praise in your daily spiritual routine.

Prayer is a place of abiding in Christ and connecting with the Holy Spirit. The believer who spends regular time with God in prayer develops intimacy with God. This intimacy with God protects our spirit from burnout and spiritual ruts and energizes our spirit as we grow to love God more. A consistent prayer life is essential.

It is only through a lifestyle of prayer can we receive the fullness of what God has provided for us.

Praise is the secret to breakthrough. When your spiritual growth feels stuck in neutral and you’re not sure what God is doing; while you are waiting for God to answer your prayer and send clarity and direction…praise Him! Paul says in Philippians 4: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” When you’ve prayed and then begin to praise,

you are releasing the matter to God and that’s when the breakthrough comes. You have gone beyond seeing what human eyes cannot see and expressing your confidence in God’s faithfulness through prayer, to resting in the assurance and joy that God indeed is in His Holy Temple! When there is a spiritual breakthrough, a person matures into a new level of faith.

As mentioned in our initial article of this series, each week we will include a reply from a reader friend in response to the question: “Has Your Spiritual Growth Ever Felt Stuck In Neutral?” This week’s response comes from Pamela: Pamela responds: "The answer to that question is 'Yes!' but the good news is lately I have not experienced that

awful feeling of being spiritually stuck in neutral. Praise Him! I’ve incorporated disciplines such as fasting, prayer and reading my bible daily.

I’ve also have sat still to hear God’s voice in the midst of my trials. It was interesting because the last fast I participated in, I thought something was wrong because there was no unleashing of power or the revelations that usually accompany my times of fasting. There was only peace and calm. God revealed to me that fast was more a time of reflection than revelation, and guess what, I felt closer to God than ever before! As I mature in my faith, I’m learning when I am feeling 'out of touch' with God or when my spiritual growth feels idled, I am better able to recognize it immediately and begin asking God for clarity and direction."

Beloved, if you have ever been stuck in neutral in your spiritual growth, and God sends the breakthrough or makes it clear what He is doing in your life; it feels awesome! Just ask Pamela. Keep

in mind, though, that moving forward is going to feel more uncomfortable than staying put! So don’t let excuses such as “It doesn’t feel right” or “I’m waiting for a sign” keep you stuck in a spiritual rut.

Substitute phrases such as, “I CAN DO THIS!” or even something stronger as: “I WON’T GIVE UP!” Each time God wants you to leave your comfort zone, you will grow in your faith and by default you will begin expanding that comfort zone. Then, you too will enjoy the fuller, richer, joyful life that God has for you!

Former Packer announces partnership to counter bullying

Photo By George Neal

Get a mortgage loan that’s move-in ready.

On Tuesday, March 11, 2014, Packers Hall of Famer Gilbert Brown announced his partnership with locallybased Vistelar Group to develop and promote a new anti-bullying program. The announcement was made at St. Marcus Lutheran School, located at 2215 N. Palmer St., Milwaukee, WI. “Yes, even I was bullied as a kid,” says Brown. “And it breaks my heart to see that kids aren’t getting better help than the same tired old advice like ‘ignore it’. We have to step up and make a difference.”

Details about the new anti-bullying program can be found at http://managebullying.com. After the announcement, Master Chan Lee, local martial arts school owner and bully-proofing expert gave a presentation to students. St. Marcus Lutheran has played an active role in generating awareness of the new program, serving as the backdrop for a promotional video featuring about 12 of their students who volunteered as actors.

Gilbert Brown was a nose tackle who played with the Green Bay Packers from 1993-1999 and 2001-2003. The Vistelar Group is a speaking and training organization based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that is dedicated to addressing the spectrum of human conflict in personal and professional interactions. Pictured are (from left) Gilbert Brown, St. Marcus teacher LaToya Young, student Brenden Lane, St. Marcus coach Robert Dozier, and student Charles Miller.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” ― Desmond Tutu At U.S. Bank, it’s our priority to make the mortgage loan process easy.

One hundred twenty-five schools plan to participate in Milwaukee Parental Choice Program One hundred and twentyfive private nonsectarian and religious schools registered with the Department of Public Instruction by the Feb. 1, 2014 deadline to accept students through the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) for the 2014-15 school year. The list includes 19 new schools that registered and have met the initial requirements established in state law to allow them to begin accepting applications for voucher students.

The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program allows students who reside in the city of Milwaukee and meet certain eligibility requirements to attend participating private or religious schools.

The private school, on behalf of each student’s parent or guardian, receives a state aid payment for each eligible Choice student. Eligible students in grades kindergarten through eight may attend the private school with no charge for tuition. Eligible students in grades nine through 12

may be charged tuition if the family’s income exceeds 220 percent of the federal poverty level ($52,533 for a family of four). Students must reapply to the program each year; however, students continuing in the program do not have to meet the 300 percent of poverty level income limit, $71,637 annually for a family of four, with a $7,000 increase ($78,637) allowed for married parents with two children. City of Milwaukee parents who wish to enroll their children in a private or religious school participating in the state’s voucher program next fall should contact schools for application information.

Application forms also are available by contacting the DPI (toll free) at 1-888-2452732 (press 3) or by downloading the form from DPI’s website at http://sms.dpi. wi.gov/mpcp_apps.

When registering with the DPI, each participating school selects which open application period or periods it will accept student applica-

tions. Schools are limited to accepting applications only during that time. If the number of eligible student applications received during a specified open application period exceeds Choice enrollment limits at the school, the school must use a random selection process to determine which students will

attend under the Choice program. Choice schools must send written notification of students’ acceptance or denial within 60 days of the application being submitted to the school.

A list of schools that plan to participate in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program for the 2014-15 school

year, including the schools’ open application period or periods, follows. Schools marked with an asterisk (*) will be new to the program in fall 2014. Schools new to the program for fall must, by Aug. 1, submit a certificate of occupancy and must obtain pre-accreditation.

Money-saving tips for seniors We all love a good bargain, no matter what our age. But if you're a senior citizen on a fixed income, finding discounted goods and services can mean the difference between making ends meet and going without.

The good news is that tons of senior discounts are available – often for people as young as 50. One caveat right up front: Although many senior discounts are substantial, you sometimes can find better bargains – especially on travel-related expenses like airfare, hotels and rental cars. So always do your research first before requesting the senior rate.

Here's a roundup of some

of the best senior discounts I've found: An AARP membership costs only $16 a year for anyone over age 50, including free membership for spouses or partners (www. aarp.org). AARP's discounts website features discounts on dozens of products and services including rental cars, hotels, restaurants, clothing and department store chains.

AARP also offers an inexpensive driver safety course for drivers over 50 (members and nonmembers alike) that can lower auto insurance premiums by up to 10 percent or more.

Popular AARP discounts include:

• 20 percent discount on installation or upgrades to ADT home security systems.

• 45 percent off membership to Angie's List.

• 20 percent off purchases from 1-800-FLOWERS. com.

• Up to 25 percent off car

rentals from Avis and Budget.

• Up to 20 percent discount at many hotel chains including Hyatt, Hilton, Wyndham, Best Western, Days Inn and Ramada, among others.

• 10 to 20 percent off at many restaurant chains, including Claim Jumper, Denny's and Outback Steakhouse.

• 15 percent off many Geek Squad services from Best Buy. • A free 45-minute consultation with an Allstate Legal Services Network attorney, as well as 20 percent off member attorneys' fees.

uncover numerous other senior discount resources. One popular site is SeniorDiscounts.com, an online directory of more than 220,000 U.S. business locations that offer discounts to people over 50. Registration is free, although they also offer a $12.95/year premium that offers members-only discounts and other perks. Other good sites include Brad's Deals, Sciddy.com and Savvy Senior.

Other commonly available senior discounts include: • A 15 percent discount on the lowest available rail fare on most Amtrak trains for travelers over age 62.

• Greyhound offers a 5 percent discount on unrestricted fares (over 62).

• Southwest Airlines offers senior fares (over 65). Although not necessarily their lowest available rates, Southwest's senior fares are fully refundable.

• The U.S. Geologic Survey senior pass (over 62) provides free lifetime access to more than 2,000 governmentmanaged recreational sites (including national parks), as well as discounts on camping and other amenities. Senior passes cost $10 in person or $20 by mail (http://store. usgs.gov/pass/senior.html).

• Verizon Wireless offers discounted mobile phone service for subscribers over 65.

• Both Walgreens and Rite Aid offer monthly senior discount days for members of their rewards programs when most non-prescription items are 15 to 20 percent off. Ask your neighborhood pharmacy if they offer similar programs.

• In addition, many restaurants, department stores, movie theaters, museums, theme parks, banks, credit card issuers, utilities (including gas and electric, water, garbage, telephone and cable) and other businesses offer special discounts or promotions for seniors. Always ask before your purchase is rung up.

Bottom line: Abundant resources are available to help seniors save money on purchases large and small. You just have to do a little research – and ask whether senior discounts are available.

Remember, 10 percent here and 20 percent there can really add up.

Brain injuries: Anytime, anywhere, anyone – they don’t discriminate

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and March 12 is Brain Injury Awareness Day. A brain injury can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone. Brain injuries do not discriminate.

For this reason Men’s Health Network (MHN) joins a nationwide network of state brain injury organizations affiliated with the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA), including self-advocates, families and volunteers across the nation to recognize this awareness period.

“Brain Injury Awareness Day is a great opportunity to raise awareness among all Americans about the short and long-term effects of brain injury, not only on the lives of those injured but also on their families,” said Eleanor M. Perfetto, Ph.D., M.S., Pharmaceutical Health Services Research, Professor, University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. “My

husband suffered from dementia that was the result of repetitive brain injury that occurred playing football. Brain Injury Awareness Day is an opportunity for families to understand how serious sportsrelated brain injury can be and to take steps toward prevention and appropriate treatment when it happens.”

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a blow, jolt or bump to the head or it can be a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. TBIs are caused by falls (35 percent), car crashes (17 percent), workplace accidents (16 percent), assaults (10 pecent), and other causes (21 percent).

According to the BIAA website (http://www.biausa. org/brain-injury-awarenessmonth.htm), 2.4 million

people, including 475,000 children, sustain a TBI in the United States each year and 5.3 million individuals live with life-long disability as a result of TBI. In addition, 52,000 people will die of TBI and 275,000 people will be hospitalized each year.

TBI is a contributing factor to a third (30.5 percent) of all injury-related deaths in the U.S. “Since anyone can sustain a brain injury at any time, it is important for everyone to have access to compre-

hensive rehabilitation and ongoing disease management,” said Dr. Brent Masel, National Medical Director, Brain Injury Association of America. “Doing so eases medical complications, permanent disability, family dysfunction, job loss, homelessness, impoverishment, medical indigence, suicide, and involvement with the criminal or juvenile justice system.

Access to early, comprehensive treatment for brain injury also alleviates the burden of long term care that is transferred to tax payers at the federal, state and local levels.”

MHN efforts for the TBI cause include a past educational briefing, "Emerging Research in Head Injuries: What's Happening to Our War and Sports Heroes?” This event

featured a presentation on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease potentially linked to repeated brain trauma; it also included a panel discussion on the future of CTE and TBI research.

“Brain injuries take a tremendous toll on the lives of millions of Americans,” said Brandon Leonard, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Men’s Health Network. “This is a year-long battle, but we want to take the opportunity presented by Brain Injury Awareness Month and Day to educate people about preventing brain injury, as well as the importance of getting early and appropriate treatment if a brain injury occurs.

It is crucial to ensure that everyone has access to rehabilitative services and receives ongoing support to alleviate the impact of brain injury.”

Twelve places where you and germs meet I mean, it is no secret that there are plenty of disgusting places that you want to steer clear of, but what if I told you that some of these are right in your own home, or that you use them everyday? You may be surprised how many germs your hands come in contact with daily.

According to the Center for Disease Control, 80 percent of diseases and infections are spread by touching. So listen up and wash up, people, and get ready to put bleach to use!

Kitchen sink The sink in your kitchen is probably dirtier than your bathroom. Research says that there are usually more than 500k bacterial spores per square inch just in the drain alone! And please don’t forget about that gross sponge you’ve been meaning to replace, but continue to use, or that basin you’ve had since you moved in! Let’s not forget the counter tops and faucet handles that are a germaphobe's nightmare!

Risk reducing tips: • Use anti-bacterial products to cleanse the countertops and sinks after preparing food of all kinds, raw fruits and vegetables included! You would be surprised at how many pathogens are carried in produce.

• Wash, wash and wash your hands! It is recommended that you wash your hands with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds.

• Remove and replace, or at the very least, sanitize!

Dirty sponges, rags and towels NEED to be replaced regularly. I’m not the most recycle-friendly or conscious when it comes to matters of cleaning, so I simply just stock up on paper towels and Clorox bleach wipes. If you

are a recycler and don’t want to be wasteful, try running your sponges through the dishwasher’s drying cycle. It will kill the majority of the bacteria.

• Make sure you are cleansing your sink and drain at least twice a week with bleach.

Airplane bathrooms This is probably not a shocker, as most public bathrooms are at the top of the dirty list! These cramped and overused potty nightmares are the absolute worst! Research has shown several instances of E. coli and fecal bacteria traces found on the faucets and door handles.

This is often due to the high instance of individuals not utilizing the sink to wash their hands properly. Don’t even get me started on the explosive flush! These toilets flush and in turn splash and spew germs in the air that coat the wall and floors.

Risk reducing tips: • Always use the paper cover when available to protect the seat, or better yet, just forgo touching the seat all together and squat!

• Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly.

• Try to always use a paper towel to handle toilet seats/ lids, doorknobs and faucets in the bathroom.

Wet laundry Did you know that almost every time wet undies are moved from the washer to the dryer, you get E. coli on your hands? All it takes is one soiled, sexy panty to spread bacteria amongst your entire load of clothes and even the machine!

Risk reducing tips: • Run the washer on at least 150 degrees.

• Use bleach with whites and not the color-safe kind (it

doesn’t kill as many germs).

• Never let wet laundry sit for long periods of time, and quickly transfer it from washer to the dryer. This prevents germs from multiplying as quickly.

• Wash underwear in a separate load and make sure to dry on high for at least 45 minutes. Statistics show that there is about 1 gram of feces in every pair of dirty underwear. (Can you say GROSS!!!).

• Always wash your hands after doing laundry.

Public drinking fountains Drinking fountains are a huge health hazard. They are like the all-you-can-eat self-serve restaurants of the water world. You have no clue what happens to that fountain spigot before you use it, and have no idea what happens afterwards. School fountains are said to be the worst, and the most health hazardous. Studies show that they have anywhere from 62k - 2.7 million bacterial spores per square inch.

Risk reducing tip: • Supply yourself and kids with enough water in personal water bottles or tumblers to last throughout the day.

Shopping cart handles

Shopping cart handles carry it all: saliva, bacteria, fecal matter, you name it! This is yet another place that is at the top of the charts on the dirty scale. Shopping cart handles are touched daily by several individuals handling foods, produce, and any personal germs they are carrying.

Risk reducing tip: Most stores offer disinfectant wipes near the carts, UTILIZE them! If you don’t see them, or they aren’t offered start carrying your own.

ATM buttons Cash is not the only thing you get when you go to the ATM. These machines and their buttons often have more germs and dirt than the public bathrooms! I mean, how often do you see anyone cleaning the ATM machine (yikes!)?

Risk reducing tips: • Carry your own small container of Lysol and do a quick spray before ATM usage.

• Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer after each visit, as well as after handling paper money (this is quite dirty as well).

Your purse Recent studies have shown that a woman’s purse can

carry millions of bacterial spores inside. There were even oftentimes bugs like pseudomonas, salmonella and E. coli.

Risk reducing tips: • Ladies, ever heard of the old wives tale about never putting your purse on the floor? Maybe you should consider this. Find hooks to hang your purse on, or simply put it in your lap!

• Be mindful of where you place your purse in the bathroom as well as the kitchen, keep it off the counter tops!

• Leather and vinyl purses, are the best to carry, they typically stay cleaner because they are made of cleanable materials.

Health tip: If you’ve been diagnosed with pre-diabetes

Your doctor has told you that you have pre-diabetes; that your blood sugar is high, but not too high to be considered diabetic.

So what do you do to avoid developing the full-blown disease?

The American Council on Exercise recommends these lifestyle changes: • Commit to eating healthier, avoiding fad diets or products that guarantee quick and easy weight loss.

• Set aside at least 150 minutes per week for exercise.

• Set realistic, achievable weight-loss goals.

• Eliminate barriers to your healthy lifestyle goals, and build a support system to help you stay on track.

• Get regular medical checkups.

• Stay positive

Gender Talk: The Struggle For Women's Equality in African American Communities By: Johnnetta B. Cole, Beverly Guy-Sheftall Random House LLC, Jan 16, 2009 Social Science 336 pages Why has the African American community remained silent about gender even as race has moved to the forefront of our nation’s consciousness? In this important new book, two of the nation’s leading African American intellectuals offer a resounding and far-reaching answer to a question that has been ignored for far too long. Hard-hitting and brilliant in its analysis of culture and sexual politics, Gender Talk asserts boldly that gender matters are critical to the Black community in the twenty-first century.

In the Black community, rape, violence against women, and sexual harassment are as much the legacy of slavery as is racism. Johnnetta Betsch Cole and Beverly Guy-Sheftall argue powerfully that the only way to defeat this legacy is to focus on the intersection of race and gender.

Gender Talk examines why the “race problem” has become so male-centered and how this has opened a deep divide between Black women and men. The authors turn to their own lives, offering intimate accounts of their

Up Close: Oprah Winfrey By: Ilene Cooper Penguin, Jan 10, 2008 Juvenile Nonfiction 208 pages Oprah Winfrey has been called the Queen of All Media for good reason. During her more than thirty-year career, she has left an indelible mark on radio, television, film, theater, magazines, and books. One of the most influential people today, Oprah is also a committed humanitarian.

Soon We Will Not Cry: The Liberation of Ruby Doris Smith Robinson By: Cynthia Griggs Fleming Rowman & Littlefield, 2000 Biography & Autobiography 228 pages The success of the civil rights movement demanded extraordinary courage of

ordinary people. During her short life, Ruby Doris Smith Robinson became one of the most important leaders in the black struggle for equality.

By age 24, Robinson's intelligence, brashness, and bravery had elevated her to a top leadership role in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Cynthia Griggs Fleming's beautifully written biography of this incredible woman demonstrates that Robinson's activism wasn't limited to racial equality; she was an equally eloquent and powerful voice for women's rights. Fleming provides new insights into the success, failures, peculiar contradictions, and unique stresses of Robinson's life.

This book will appeal to all readers interested in African American and women's history.

terrorism. Backing strong words with strong actions, she lectured in the States and abroad, arranged legal representation for black prisoners, hired investigators, founded antilynching leagues, sought recourse from Congress, and more. Wells was an equally forceful advocate for women's rights, but parted ways with feminist allies who would subordinate racial justice to their cause. She perpetually walked a tightrope between being an agitator and behaving like a "lady"--a designation prized by black women too often denigrated

and exploited by white men.

Using diary entries, letters, and published writings, McMurry illuminates Wells's fiery personality, and the uncompromising approach that sometimes lost her friendships even as it won great victories. To Keep the Waters Troubled is an unforgettable account of a remarkable woman and the and the times she helped to change.

Browns Financial Group To Keep the Waters Troubled : The Life of Ida B. Wells By: Linda O. McMurry Professor of History North Carolina State University Oxford University Press, Jan 14, 1999 Biography & Autobiography 416 pages In the generation that followed Frederick Douglass, no African American was more prominent, or more outspoken, than Ida B. Wells.

Her crusade against lynching in the 1890s made her famous, or notorious, across America, and she was seriously considered as a rival to W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington for race leadership. This book is the first full biography of Wells, a passionate crusader for black people and women--and one who was sometimes torn by her conflicting loyalties to race and gender. Wells' career began amidst controversy when she sued a Tennessee railroad company for ousting her from a first class car, a legal battle which launched her lifelong committment to journalism and activism.

In the 1890s, Wells focused her eloquence on the horrors of lynching, exposing it as a widespread form of racial
