National & Local News

Diversity was perhaps the biggest winner at the 86th annual Academy Awards. For the first time, a film directed by a black filmmaker — Steve McQueen of “12 Years a Slave” — won best picture and a Latino — Alfonso Cuaron of “Gravity” — took home best director in a ceremony presided over by a lesbian host and overseen by the Academy's first black president. McQueen's grimly historical drama “12 Years a Slave” took best picture, leading the usually sedate filmmaker to jump up and down in celebration after his acceptance speech. The British director dedicated his award to “all of the people who endured slavery and the 21 million people who still suffer slavery today.” Cuaron's lost-in-space thriller “Gravity” led the Oscars with seven awards, including cinematography, editing, score, visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing. Some in his native Mexico have been critical that since the attention came for a Hollywood release and not a Mexican-themed film, his win didn't have the same kind of importance. “I'm Mexican so I hope some Mexicans were rooting for me,” he told reporters backstage. The entire Oscar ceremony had the feel of a make-over for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — an institution that has sometimes seemed stuck in the past. After a Los Angeles Times report revealed the Academy was overwhelmingly older white men, new president Cheryl Boone Isaa-

Oscars 2014: Diversity wins big

The movie industry that the Oscars reflect has also been reluctant to tell a wider range of stories. “Dallas Buyers Club,” the best picture-nominated drama about AIDS in 1980s Texas, took two decades to get made after countless executives balked at financing such a tale. Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto won best actor and best supporting actor for their roles in the film as a heterosexual rodeo rat (McConaughey) and a transgender drug addict (Leto) united by HIV. “Thirty-six million people who have lost the battle to AIDS and to those of you out there who have ever felt injustice because of who you are or who you love, tonight I stand here in front of the world with you and for you,” said Leto is his acceptance speech. Cate Blanchett, best actress winner for her bitter, ruined socialite in Woody Allen's “Blue Jasmine,” used her acceptance speech to trumpet

the need to make films with female leads — films like her own and like “Gravity,” starring Sandra Bullock. A study by analyst Kevin B. Lee found that last year's lead actors averaged 100 minutes on screen, but lead actresses averaged only 49 minutes. “To the audiences who went to see the film and perhaps those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films, with women at the center, are niche experiences, they are not,” said Blanchett. “Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money.” “12 Years a Slave” also won awards in the writing and acting categories. John Ridley picked up the trophy for best adapted screenplay, which was based on the 1853 memoir by Solomon Northup. The screenwriter is only the second black writer (Geoffrey Fletcher won for “Precious” in 2009) to win in the category. Backstage, the “12 Years” team mentioned their efforts to include Solomon Northup's memoir as

part of high school study. The National School Boards Association announced in February that the book is now mandatory reading. “It's important that we understand our history so we can understand who we were and who we are now and most importantly who we're going to be,” said Brad Pitt, who produced “12 Years.” ”We hope that this film remains a gentle reminder that we're all equal. We all want the same: Dignity and opportunity.” Lupita Nyong'o was a firsttime Oscar winner for her supporting role as field slave Patsey in “12 Years.” ”I'm a little dazed,” said Nyong'o backstage of winning the Oscar. “I can't believe this is real life.” Nyong'o is the sixth black actress to win in the supporting actress category, following Hattie McDaniel (“Gone with the Wind”), Whoopi Goldberg (“Ghost”), Jennifer Hudson (“Dreamgirls”), Mo'Nique (“Precious”), and Octavia Spencer (“The Help”).

An important deadline to sign up for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace is quickly approaching. The Social Development Commission is partnering with several agencies to help residents beat that deadline. The ACA Marketplace enrollment ends March 31 for coverage to be effective on April 1, 2014. To help provide information on the program and to start signing up, SDC is teaming with the Milwaukee City Health Department, Milwaukee Health Services, the Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin and Outreach Community Health Center. Trained counselors from those organizations are staffing several SDC sites to provide information on the ACA and to enroll applicants. They are also able to help residents with enrollment in BadgerCare, Medicaid, FoodShare and Child

Care. The ACA Enrollment help is available at SDC offices at 4041 N. Richards on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. They are also at SDC’s facility at 6848 N.

No appointment is needed.

In her second time hosting, openly gay Ellen DeGeneres sought to make celebrities more like plain folk. She passed out slices of pizza to the front rows at the Dolby Theatre, then passed the hat to pay for it. She also tweeted a “selfie” with such stars as Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Pitt and Nyong'o. The shot “made history,” DeGeneres told the audience later. It's since been retweeted more than two million times.

CHILD WATCH

By: Marian Wright Edelman President of the Children's Defense Fund

Honoring Septima Clark During this Black History Month I was deeply honored to be inducted into the South Carolina Hall of Fame at the same time as Mrs. Septima Clark—the woman Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called the “Mother of the Movement.” Readers familiar with Brian Lanker’s marvelous book I Dream a World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America, will recognize Mrs. Clark as the proud, strong, and beautiful woman with silver braids whose portrait graces the front cover. Brian captured her indomitable spirit a few weeks before her death in 1987 at age 89 and called me with excitement saying he knew after a very few moments and a few shots that he had found his cover. Throughout much of her long life Mrs. Clark was often at odds with South Carolina leaders and made other enemies as she traveled throughout the Deep South pioneering literacy and citizenship education for Black Americans. Yet her richly deserved Hall of Fame induction symbolizes just how far South Carolina and the nation have come—in part thanks to the work of citizen heroines like Mrs. Clark. Mrs. Clark was born in Charleston in 1898, the second of eight children born to a former slave father and laundrywoman mother. She graduated from Avery Normal Institute in 1916 with a

teaching certificate, but because the city of Charleston would not hire Black teachers, she found a job in a rural community on Johns Island, SC. The White teacher in that community had only three White students but was paid $85 a month, while the Black school had two teachers for 132 children and the two Black teachers were paid a combined salary of $60. It was the first of many injustices throughout her long career. But as time went on she started speaking out even when others around her would not. As she put it simply years later: “They were afraid, but I wasn’t.” In 1919 Mrs. Clark returned to Charleston, where she volunteered for an NAACP petition effort that ultimately changed the local law prohibiting Black teachers. For the next several decades she taught primarily in Charleston and Columbia while continuing her own education in the summers—at Columbia University in New York; at Atlanta University, where W.E.B. DuBois was one of her professors; at Benedict College, where she finally received a bachelor’s degree; and at Hampton Institute; where she earned her master’s. She fought for equalization of salaries for Black and White teachers in South Carolina. After Federal District Court Judge J. Waties Waring, following the law rather

failed because she tried to push the other teachers into something they weren’t ready for. The lesson she learned was that people needed to be trained first so that they would be prepared to act— and the trainings she went on to develop helped shape the course of the civil rights movement. Mrs. Clark had already attended several meetings at the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, the legendary Septima Clark grassroots education center than White southern mores, devoted to social justice.

civil rights movement was built. And that’s probably very much true.” Rosa Parks also said that while she may have sat down once, Mrs. Clark kept on working and building: “I am always very respectful and very much in awe of the presence of Septima Clark because her life story makes the effort that I have made very minute. I only hope that there is a possible chance that some of her great courage and dignity and wisdom has rubbed off on me.” As a woman in the movement, Mrs. Clark said she felt the men around her often did not do a good job of listening to or including her or other women. Yet she observed that it was largely women who got things done: “In stories about the civil rights movement you hear mostly about the black ministers. But if you talk to the women who were there, you’ll hear another story. I think the civil rights movement would never have taken off if some women hadn’t started to speak up.” Even later in life Mrs. Clark was never hesitant to speak up. One of the injustices after her 1956 firing was that South Carolina refused to pay the pension she had earned for her forty years of teaching or the pay she would have earned in the few years before her retirement if she had not been dismissed. She did not give up on waiting for those wrongs to be righted, and in 1976 the governor reinstated her pension and in 1981 the legislature approved paying her back pay. Although her signature accomplishment may be the programs she established for Black adults, she never lost her original and enduring passion for educating children. She celebrated her 78th birthday by becoming the first Black woman elected to the Charleston School Board. Near the end of her life she said: “Education is my big priority right now. I want people to see children as human beings and not to think of the money that it costs nor to think of the amount of time that it will take, but to think of the lives that can be developed into Americans who will redeem the soul of America and will really make America a great country.” Let’s honor Septima Clark’s legacy right now by making this priority our own with urgency and perseverance.

Lupita's time to shine By Rutendo Nyamuda The first time I heard Lupita Nyong'o speak I couldn't figure out where she was from. To me, her accent had a hint of British-English with African undertones. I later learned that she was born in Mexico, grew up in Kenya and studied in the USA, a global citizen indeed. Over the months she quickly became the new "it" girl who was photographed with Anna Wintour at a fashion show and rubbing shoulders with Oprah Winfrey. A few days ago, Lupita won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The world gave a standing ovation with eyes filled with tears of joy. For many, she became a symbol of hope. Her acceptance speech showed great humility and I'm certain it will be quoted for many years to come. "When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you're from your dreams are valid." It was a breath of fresh air that many people, from the kid on the street to the old man contemplating the meaning of life, needed to hear. It's never too late, your dreams are worth fighting for. Personally, I would love to see more actresses of color winning awards for playing characters like Olivia Pope, from Scandal, and Mary Jane Paul, from Being Mary Jane; as well as the women behind some of TV's most loved series like Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and Scandal) and Mara Brock Akil (creator of Girlfriends, The Game and Being Mary Jane) receiving some world-class recognition. I was inspired by the speech Lupita gave at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon where she spoke about the beauty of being black. "And then Alek Wek came on the international scene. A celebrated model, she was dark as night, she was on all of the runways and in every magazine and everyone was talking about how beautiful she was. Even Oprah called her beautiful and that made it a fact. I couldn't believe that people were embracing a woman who looked so much like me as beautiful. My complexion had always been an obstacle to overcome and all of a sudden, Oprah was telling me it wasn't. It was perplexing and I wanted to

reject it because I had begun to enjoy the seduction of inadequacy. But a flower couldn't help but bloom inside of me. When I saw Alek I inadvertently saw a reflection of myself that I could not deny. Now, I had a spring in my step because I felt more seen, more appreciated by the far away gatekeepers of beauty, but around me the preference for light skin prevailed. To the beholders that I thought mattered, I was still unbeautiful. And my mother again would say to me, 'You can't eat beauty. It doesn't feed you.' And these words plagued and bothered me; I didn't really understand them

Lupita Nyong'o until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be." It's a powerful realization that every woman, of every shade and race, needs to acknowledge. Stand in front of the mirror, look at yourself and slowly say "I. Am. Beautiful." As an industry, we need to display a wider representation of women across all platforms. And as we celebrate diversity, we show women of all ages, from different ethnic backgrounds and of various beliefs that it is okay to love yourself, just as you are.

The Counseling Corner By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Has your spiritual growth ever felt stuck in neutral? (Week 1) If you have ever experienced your spiritual growth being stuck in neutral, then you know it can sap your confidence and erode your spiritual energy and enthusiasm. If you’ve been there, then you can be a vocal witness that nothing feels more unbalancing than being stuck seemingly in neutral, not going forward and not going backwards. JUST STUCK! This month we will be addressing this issue. In an attempt to get more substance for this series, I have asked a few friends to give me their thoughts on the question: “Has Your Spiritual Growth Ever Felt Stuck In Neutral?” Each week I will give you a brief narrative of their response. This week, Kristin shares with us her spiritual rut experience during her college years. Kristin responds: "Have I ever been spiritually stuck in neutral? Definitely, during my college career it almost seems as if I was in neutral just as much as I was in

drive. In the beginning I was in neutral because I realized I was a devout Christian riding on my mom's faith and testimony rather than my own. I struggled for a personal connection that was all grown up like I felt I was. Freshman year I did a lot of fasting (21day fast to bring in the New Year, every Wednesday for an entire semester). I wrote my prayers for a while, and then I decided to devote my mornings to filling myself with Jesus, praying in the shower and only listening to Gospel music and sermons. I never knew anything but Jesus and so as I now spiritually grow and mature in my faith, I am constantly focusing on building my own faith and testimony and also constantly looking for places God shows up for me personally and then taking time to thank Him." Being stuck in neutral can happen for many reasons. A few are: (a) you are looking for clarity and vision, but your busy schedule has prevented you from spend-

ing quality time with God; (b) you know God wants to take you to the next level, but you are afraid of leaving your comfort zone; or (c) you lack spiritual discipline and thus you have not been exercising self-control. When you feel like you are operating in the neutral zone, consider: #1 Clarifying exactly where you’re getting stuck. Like Kristin, when you’re in the midst of feeling stuck in neutral, everything can seem overwhelming and unclear. Your best bet is to first slow down, be still before God and tell God what you are feeling and ask for Him to provide clarity. Once God answers, things will be made clear and you can then move forward growing in your faith. #2 Recognizing what you may be afraid of. You

sin. Because of a lack of selfcontrol, a believer might set out to do right, but quickly he/she returns to their old ways. Satan loves the believer who lacks discipline because Satan knows it will prevent the believer from growing spiritually. Beloved, remember God knows exactly when you are ready to go to your next spiritual level. God certainly will not put more you on than you can bear. (See 1 Corinthians 10:13). Stop allowing fear to have a place in your life; but rather with confidence say: “I’m ready Lord…use me in Your service!” Next Week: Continuation The writer does not assume responsibility in any way for readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information or recommendations made in these articles, as they may not be necessarily appropriate for every situation to which they may refer.

are likely to get stuck right at the moment God is planning to take you to the next level in your spiritual walk. Often this is where most people feel like they are operating in neutral zone. Why? Because growing in your faith walk stirs up old patterns of self-doubt and fear of failure. You begin asking yourself, “Am I ready for this?” “Can I handle this?” “What if I get there and fail?” Fear brings feelings of anxiety, worry and doubt. The only way you can fail is that you permit yourself to fail. There is no failure in God. When fear creeps up and threatens to halt your spiritual forward progress, recognize it, and then ask God for the spiritual courage and strength to move forward in His name! #3 Developing spiritual discipline. Spiritual growth takes spiritual discipline. When you lack discipline, you will not do the things that will promote spiritual growth. One who lacks discipline is quick tempered, easily discouraged and led into

The 29th Annual Black Excellence Awards

George Neal Photos

The 29th Black Excellence Awards was pleased to have as its keynote speaker Vice President for Network Comedy Development and Programming for ABC Television Jamila Hunter. Prior to the Friday, February 28, 2014 evening awards banquet, Jamila and Milwaukee Times editorial staffer Jacquelyn Heath paid a visit to Ms. Teiaira McMurtry’s Advanced Placement English Class at North Division High School. The class members, mostly seniors and juniors, were excited and engaged to hear how Jamila developed her career as a television network executive, and what skills and strategies they might develop if they wish to have similar successful experiences in their future career choice. Jamila was welcomed to the school by “the head Blue Devil,” North’s principal Stanley McWilliams, who also treated her to a brief tour of the school and its Athletic Hall of Fame. Just FYI, Jamila was quoted as finding our recent extreme winter weather “charming.” Maybe that's because the southern California native doesn't get to see snow like ours everyday.

Bulletin Board MPS celebrates 'Read Across America'

Milwaukee Fire Department cadets read to kindergarten and first-grade students at MPS’ Thurston Woods Campus Monday, March 3, 2014 to celebrate the National Education Association’s Read Across America, a celebration of the birthday of famed children’s author Dr. Seuss. This annual reading motivation and awareness program ties in with the district’s Comprehensive Literacy Plan, which has helped boost reading scores among 4th and 8th graders, the two grades tested in the National Assessment of Educational Progress Trial Urban District Assessment.

MPS Board passes plan to improve achievement at persistently low-performing schools All 48 schools receiving lowest rating on state report card to receive turnaround support; 25 to receive more substantial intervention as commitment schools The Milwaukee Board of School Directors on Thursday, Febuary 27, 2014 passed a plan to improve academic achievement at Milwaukee Public Schools’ persistently low-performing schools. The plan includes turnaround leadership training and support for all 48 schools that received the lowest rating on the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction report cards for the 2012-13 school year, including those schools that are already seeing signs of improvement. MPS has 165 schools in total. The low - performing schools plan includes more significant intervention in 25 “Commitment Schools” to be selected over a three-year period beginning with the upcoming 2014-15 school year. Six to 10 school communities will be selected initially. The plan adopted by the Board differs from the administration’s plan, which would have targeted the neediest schools first. Commitment Schools will be improved using one of three models: - Innovative Commitment Schools will focus on innovative approaches to improvement developed by

tives, MPS staff and two Board members. Schools will have the opportunity to apply for the support. MPS administration will also have the ability to select three to four schools for consideration. Administrators and staff

at Commitment Schools will be asked to make a three-year commitment to a wholeschool collaborative approach at the schools as well as a commitment of extra hours and days, which will be compensated.

Our History

Black actors of the past paved Oscar road By Susan King Nearly three-quarters of a century before the film "12 Years a Slave," a scathing indictment of slavery, was nominated for nine Academy Awards, Hattie McDaniel won a supporting actress Oscar for playing the loyal slave Mammy in 1939's "Gone With the Wind." McDaniel was the first African American to win an Oscar and though her performance was beloved and paved the way for other minority actors, it was not without its detractors at the time. There was a similar reaction eight years later when James Baskett received an honorary Oscar for his role as Uncle Remus in Walt Disney's live action-animated musical "Song of the South." The NAACP and other civil rights groups criticized the performances and the films for presenting stereotyped and negative images of blacks. Adilifu Nama, associate professor of African American Studies at Loyola Marymount University, said McDaniel's win was a significant achievement but one "loaded with a lot of political and racial issues given that the film was the classic archetype of the Mammy. The role is fundamentally a subservient role and is part of a film that is a Southern racial fantasy." Sidney Poitier became the first black actor to win a competitive Oscar when he picked up the lead actor Academy Award for 1963's "Lilies of the Field." Poitier's win paved the way for other black actors and actresses in more recent decades, including Denzel Washington, Halle Berry and Morgan Freeman. Todd Boyd, professor of critical studies at USC School of Cinematic Arts, believes that Poitier's win "marks a major transition" away from the archetype roles." But to Boyd many of the roles before and even after Poitier's breakthrough provided only a limited view of the black experience in America. "The entirety of the history of African Americans in Hollywood has been problematic and I think, in some ways, still is," Boyd said. "A lot of people looked at those movies as sort of an authentic representation of what African Americans were like. It shaped the way African Americans were perceived." This Oscar season has been a strong one for black-oriented films and performers, led by director Steve McQueen's acclaimed "12 Years a Slave." McQueen was nominated for best director and best film. His win for best film makes him the first black filmmaker to win that award. (He's only the third black filmmaker to be nominated following John Singleton for 1991's "Boyz N

the Hood" and Lee Daniels for 2009's "Precious.") A surprisingly large number of black performers helped pave the way with Oscar-winning and -nominated performances from McDaniel through Diahann Carroll, who earned her lead actress nomination in the 1974 comedy "Claudine." Besides being limited to certain stereotyped roles like maids and servants, a number of them faced real-life prejudice as well. Here's a look those early pioneers.

Hattie McDaniel (18951952): "Gone With the Wind" (1939) In her tearful Oscar acceptance speech, McDaniel said: "I sincerely hope I shall always be a credit to my race and the motion picture industry." But just a few months earlier, she and the film's other African American actors were barred from attending the premiere of the 1939 film in racially segregated Atlanta. McDaniel consistently ran into criticism for perpetuating negative stereotypes in her role choices, which led her to say at one point, "I'd rather play a maid than be one." McDaniel, who found success on the radio in the late 1940s in the comedy "Beulah," died in 1952. She wanted to be buried at Hollywood Memorial Park, now known as Hollywood Forever, but it had a restricted policy. There is now a memorial to her at the cemetery.

James Baskett (1904-48) "Song of the South" (1947) The singer-dancer-actor, who played lawyer Gabby Gibson on the radio in "Amos 'n' Andy," won an honorary Oscar for "his able and heart-warming characterization of Uncle Remus, friend and story teller

to children of the world, in Walt Disney's 'Song of the South.'." Baskett also introduced the Academy Awardwinning song "Zip-a-DeeDoo-Dah." The film, which is set in the South after the Civil War, raised the ire of civil rights groups such as the NAACP, which decried "the impression it gives of an idyllic master-slave relationship, which is a distortion of the facts." The last time Disney released the film was 1986. Baskett, who like McDaniel wasn't allowed to attend the film's premiere in Atlanta, died from heart disease at the age of 44 a few months after receiving the Oscar.

Ethel Waters (1896-1977) "Pinky" (1949) Waters was already a legendary singer — she introduced "Stormy Weather" at the Cotton Club — when she earned a supporting actress nomination for Elia Kazan's 1949 drama "Pinky." She played Dicey, the warm-hearted Southern grandmother of a young woman (Jeanne Crain) who had passed for white in the North. Bosley Crowther wrote of Waters in the New York Times, "by playing the girl's old grandmother in a deeply benign and wistful way Ethel Waters endows this gentle lady with tremendous warmth and appeal."

Dorothy Dandridge (192265) "Carmen Jones" (1954) One of cinema's great beauties, the singer-danceractress was the first African American to earn a lead actress Oscar nomination for her riveting turn in "Carmen Jones," Otto Preminger's 1954 reworking of Bizet's "Carmen." Dandridge made

only a handful of films after "Carmen Jones" before her death from an accidental barbiturate overdose in 1965 at the age of 42.

Juanita Moore (19142014) "Imitation of Life" (1959) The former dancer earned a supporting actor nomination for Douglas Sirk's lush 1959 melodrama "Imitation of Life," based on Fannie Hurst's novel, as a maid whose light-skinned daughter rejects her and her black roots: "If, by accident, we should ever pass on the street, please don't recognize me." Though she appeared on TV and in such films as 1973's "The Mack" and was involved in theater in L.A., the nomination didn't open many doors. She told The Times in 2000 that she didn't work for a year after "Imitation of Life" because casting directors believed she wouldn't want to play any more servant roles. "What can you do?" she said. "They're not going to pay a lot of money for carrying a tray. That's all we did in movies back then."

Sidney Poitier (1927) "The Defiant Ones" (1958); "Lilies of the Field" (1963) The legendary actor and pioneering film director received a lead actor nomination for 1958's "The Defiant Ones," which revolved around two escaped prisoners — one black, one white (Tony Curtis) — who are shackled together. Poitier won the lead actor Oscar for 1963's charming "Lilies of the Field," as an itinerant handyman who builds a chapel for some East German nuns. At the 2002 Academy Awards ceremony, Poitier received an Honorary Academy Award for his "extraordinary performances and unique presence on the screen and

for representing the industry with dignity, style and intelligence." Beah Richards (19202000) "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967) The veteran film and television actress received a supporting actress nomination for 1967's "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" for her poignant turn as the mother of an earnest young physician (Poitier) who must deal with the fact that her son's fiancee (Katharine Houghton) is white.

Rupert Crosse (1927-73) "The Reivers" (1969) A member of the Actors Studio, who starred in John Cassavetes' first film, 1959's "Shadows," and his 1962 drama, "Too Late Blues," Crosse earned a supporting actor nomination for his funny turn opposite Steve McQueen in the bucolic 1969 adaptation of "The Reivers," directed by Mark Rydell. Crosse starred with Don Adams in the 1971-72 TV comedy "Partners" and died of cancer at the age of 45.

James Earl Jones (1931-) "The Great White Hope" (1970) The Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor and the voice of "Star Wars'" Darth Vader earned a lead actor nomination reprising his Broadway triumph in 1970's "The Great White Hope" as a black boxer who keeps winning over white opponents in the years prior to World War I. Three years ago, he earned an honorary Academy Award for "his legacy of consistent excellence and uncommon versatility." (Continued pg. 18)

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

5:2, how about you? (part 3)

Longevity and intermittent fasting, is it right for you?

With health delivery in such chaos and uncertainty, we at Carter Drug Store suggest arming yourselves with the latest up-todate information, which hopefully will prevent minimum problems from escalating into major problems. You and your loved ones deserve the best treatment possible to survive in these difficult times. The only means known to increase life span is the drastic reduction of calories. Called caloric restriction (CR), this scientifically validated method has extended the life span of a number of species, from microorganisms to mammals. Perhaps the most comprehensive study to date involved 10 Rhesus monkeys. Published in Science in 2009, the results of the 20 year study demonstrated the capacity of CR to delay aging and fight disease. Probably because of the number of aging, health conscious baby boomers (or possibly because of the growing obesity epidemic), CR is gaining interest and participation. In this issue, we take a closer look at the benefits

of restricting calories and introduce a technique called intermittent fasting (IF). Not only does IF make reducing normal caloric intake by at least 20 percent a more viable option, it has been shown to outperform CR. Polyphenol supplements – The following compounds work separately and together to mimic caloric restriction, encouraging positive changes in gene expression. The information in this section comes from the work of Julius Goeppe, MD. He notes that the polyphenols in black tea support metabolic effects. In addition to black tea extract, these CR mimics include resveratrol, quercetin, grape seed extract, and pterostilbene. Meanwhile research shows that the others “powerfully inhibit systemic inflammation, enhance mitochondrial health, prevent cancer, and protect brain and heart tissue from agerelated deterioration.” Omega-3 and omega-6

fatty acids – Inflammation is one of the great bugaboos of aging. Since IF already lowers inflammation markers, let’s support that tendency with omega-3 oils and omega-6 oils as fish oil and GLA (as gamma linolenic acid) respectively. These oils have long been shown to reduce inflammatory gene expression. In addition, the combination of omega oils with the reduced calories of just ordinary dieting results in greater weight loss. Take your oil supplements with meals. This is the only way for you to get their full nutritional benefit. With food, the pancreas is stimulated to release bile salts. These emulsify the omega oils so that they get into the

bloodstream, enhancing bioavailability. Are you aware of the “ Nutrition Transition”? This is the global nutrition transition and the pandemic of obesity happening in developing countries. From the International Life Sciences Institute: In the 1970s, diets began to transition from food prepared from scratch at home toward reliance on processed foods, take-away food, and the increased intake of edible oils and sugar-sweetened beverages. Less physical activity and more sedentary behavior appeared as well. By the 1990s, the negative effects of these changes began to emerge, primarily in lowand middleincome populations. The changes were not acknowledged until diabetes, hypertension, and obesity began to dominate the globe. Now, rapid increases in obesity and overweight are widely documented, from the poorest countries of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to populations in

countries with higher income levels. Rapid shifts in diet and inactivity are also well documented. In a few countries, large-scale programs and policy measures are being explored; however, few institutions are engaged in committed efforts to prevent the serious dietary challenges that are implied. It appears that humans are intent upon living out the future as predicted for us by the animated film “Wall-E”. Perhaps the fact that some of us are willing to live more closely to our prehistoric ancestors, “starving” to have a longer, more healthy life, is not ironic but rather the beginning of a wholesome paradigm shift Reprinted With Permission Copyright © Nutrition News 2013 Home of the "Is It Healthy?"

High blood pressure may be worse for women Study found differences in factors that cause condition

High blood pressure might be more dangerous for women than men, a new study suggests. As a result, women may need earlier and more aggressive treatment for the condition, the study authors said. “The medical community thought that high blood pressure was the same for both sexes, and treatment was based on that premise,” lead author Dr. Carlos Ferrario, a professor of surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, said in a medical center news release. “This is the first study to consider sex as an element in the selection of [drugs to treat high blood pressure] or base the choice of a specific drug on the various factors accounting for the elevation in blood pressure.” Although deaths due to heart disease have dropped dramatically among men over the past three decades, the same is not true for women, the researchers noted. On the contrary, heart disease is a leading cause of death among American women, according to the news release. The new study was published in the December issue of Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease. The researchers conducted a series of specialized tests

on 100 men and women aged 53 and older with untreated high blood pressure but no other medical conditions. Tests measured the forces involved in blood circulation as well as the hormones involved in blood pressure regulation. Their purpose was to determine if the heart or the blood vessels were primarily

involved in participants’ high

blood pressure. Among women and men with the same level of high blood pressure, the women had 30 percent to 40 percent more vascular disease than the men, the study found. Significant physiologic differences were also found in the women’s cardiovascular system, including the types

and levels of hormones that regulate blood pressure. The researchers said these differences influence how aggressively the condition needs to be treated. “We need to evaluate new protocols -- what drugs, in what combination and in what dosage -- to treat women with high blood pressure,” Ferrario said.

Among our heroes are Harrett Tubman, Rosa Parks, Madam C.J. Walker, Myrlie Ever Williams and many more less well known.

It is also a time to rededicate ourselves to women's equal- fourteen and widowed at ity and human rights still un- twenty. She spent the betder siege. ter part of the next two decades laboring as a washerwoman for $1.50 a week. Then -- with the discovery of a revolutionary hair care formula for black women -everything changed. By her death in 1919, Walker managed to overcome astonishing odds: building a storied beauty empire from the ground up, amassing wealth unprecedented among black women and devoting her life to philanthropy and social activism. Along the way, she formed friendships with Freedom in the Family: A great early-twentieth-centuMother-Daughter Mem- ry political figures such as oir of the Fight for Civil W.E.B.

Wrapped in Rainbows: The Life of Zora Neale Hurston By Valerie Boyd Simon and Schuster, Oct 4, 2011 Biography & Autobiography 528 pages Wrapped in Rainbows -- the first biography of Zora Neale Hurston in twenty-five years -- illuminates the complexities of an extraordinary life. Born in Alabama in 1891, Hurston moved with her family to Eatonville, Florida, when she was still a toddler. In this close-knit community -- the first incorporated allblack town in America -- she spent a pleasant childhood, happily imbibing the rich language and folk culture of the rural black South. When Hurston was still a girl, her mother died, and her father's swift remarriage led to the family's dispersal. Hurston

spent the next decade wandering in search of parental figures, working menial jobs, and charting her own course into adulthood. Reinventing herself at the age of twentysix, she entered high school in Baltimore by claiming to be ten years younger -- a fiction she would maintain throughout her life. Hurston went on to attend Howard University and Barnard College, and during this time launched her writing career in the midst of the blossoming Harlem Renaissance. In New York, she developed relationships with luminaries such as Langston Hughes, Ethel Waters, Fannie Hurst, and Carl Van Vechten. Hurston periodically left New York to travel the country (and the world) collecting black music, poetry, and literature -- becoming one of the most important folklore collectors of her time, as well as one of the most enduring writers of her century. Featuring more than thirtyfive black-and-white photographs -- including some that have never been published -- Wrapped in Rainbows is an eloquent profile of one of the most intriguing cultural figures of the twentieth century.

Tired of inferior schools, "Jim

Crow" laws, and the threat of being lynched for trying to vote, African Americans risked their lives for justice - most notably in the 1950s and '60s. This book recounts the story of the Civil Rights Movement, from slavery up to the present day. Hundreds of captivating photographs accompany detailed captions, authoritative essays, and a 1,200-item timeline. Experience all the drama of this epic tale in Civil Rights Chronicle: The African-American Struggle for Freedom. Filled with impressive pictorials, this captivating coffee-table book illustrates the African American struggle for the recognition of basic humanity and legal rights.
