Deborah Flint, Executive Director, Los Angeles World Airports Headlined National Association of Minority Contractors Southern California Chapter Annual Awards Dinner By Gloria Zuurveen Editor-in-Chief LOS ANGELES—The Sheraton Gateway Hotel banquet room in Los Angeles was recently filled with minority contractors who are members of one of the most necessary organizations in Southern California. It was where the National Association of Minority Contractors Southern California Chapter (NAMCSC) had gathered for their 16th Annual Awards Dinner and Deborah Flint, one of the most powerful women in aviation history served as the keynote speaker. Flint is the Executive Director for Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) she was appointed in June 2015. Flint is responsible for oversight over three airports, Los Angeles International (LAX), LA/Ontario International (ONT) and Van Nuys (VNY). She is also responsible for continuing the LAX Capital Development program, build on ONT’s 2014 increase in passenger traffic and continue to position VNY’s as a community partner. As she spoke to a room full of minority contractors, sponsors, supporters, as well as the 2015 honorees, Flint talked about the future of LAX and what is to be expected under her leadership. She said, “Our two and a quarter mile automated people movement system is going to be anchored with six stations, three of them on the airport and three of them off the airport providing for a seamless global modern travel experience for passengers today and well into the future.” “We’ll have several garages including the country’s largest rental car consolidated facility right here in Los Angeles World Airport. Our station will have consumer amenities, concessions opportunities, retail opportunities, that help makes global travel experience one that is symbolized by the airport right here,” said Flint. Flint said, “Never before have we had an opportunity to deliver five billion dollars' worth of infrastructure by the year 2023. That is our target and we’re going to work really hard with all of your support to meet that target and it presents unprecedented opportunities.” Unprecedented opportunity is what NAMC seeks as an association whose members represent over one billion dollars of project capacity according to Wendell Stemely, National President. Stanley said, “It is essential that we continue to build on the association’s rich legacy

Photo by Gloria Zuurveen to attain the level of success and economic gain that our forefathers envisioned. The urgency to seize this moment of opportunity is now. We have no time, no talent, no treasures to waste on anything that in anyway sidetracks our path to economic parity and wealth building within our businesses and our communities.” Also speaking about unprecedented opportunities, Sharon Coleman, 1st Vice President and Dinner Chair, NAMCSC and President of Coleman Construction, Inc., in keeping with the theme for the evening, “Diversity in Construction, Builds a Better Tomorrow,” said it strengthens the significance of constructing a strong base that affords minority contractors access to prospective business opportunities. She added, “Together we can eliminate any and all boundaries and lift up the best minority construction and business enterprises amongst us. Today, more than ever we must continue to utilize minority contractors, one of the construction industry’s most valuable resources.” Leonard Lumas, President of NAMCSC and CEO/ President, Lumas Air, Inc. said after greeting everyone, “We remain committed to advocating for small and minority business-
es to have a permanent and visible seat at the table of inclusion for major construction projects that will help define the landscape of our great City.”
Flint appeared motivated to move forward with her responsibilities which involve managing the largest public works project in the history of
the City of Los Angeles. According to Flint, more than $8.5 billion for capital improvement expenditures through Fiscal Year Please see Flint, page 11
City Dismisses Case Against Freelance Journalist LOS ANGELES – With a trial date set for December 15, today representatives from Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer’s office moved to dismiss misdemeanor criminal charges against freelance journalist Jasmyne Cannick. Cannick, 38, was charged with three counts of resisting a police officer resulting from being arrested on November 26, 2014 during what the Los Angeles Police Department referred to as the Ferguson protests. A police report claimed that LAPD Sergeant Raul Pedroza identified Ms. Cannick as someone he recognized from television and that she was one of the “leaders” of the protest and allegedly attempted to cross a skirmish line while saying “we’re coming through!” During six months of pretrial hearing, neither the city attorney’s office nor the LAPD ever produced one photo or video of Ms. Cannick engaging in any illegal activity. A YouTube video posted shows Ms. Cannick being arrested without incident. Ms. Cannick, a well known journalist and community
Jasmyne Cannick figure both locally and nationally, always maintained her innocence, identified herself as a journalist at the time of her arrest and told officers that she was not a part of the protest but was there covering it for a local radio station where she freelances as a segment producer. While other news media personnel were not arrested and allowed to
leave, Ms. Cannick was not. “This is a victory for truth who does not often win in these types of cases,” said civil rights attorney Nana Gyamfi who represented Ms. Cannick. “Independent journalists are entitled to the protection of the constitution. Even those who criticize those in power at the Los Angeles Police Department like Ms. Cannick is known for doing. Ms. Cannick is considering her options for further legal action at this point as she should.” “While I was prepared to take this case to trial in an effort to prove my innocence I am relived by the dismissal,” commented Ms. Cannick. “This case was about retaliation--retaliation for stories that I’ve broken about the LAPD that have turned into major news stories. From Detective Frank Lyga, to the LAPD essentially hosting a book signing for former Mexican mafia hitman Rene “Boxer” Enriquez to Chief Beck having to admit his involvement in the purchasing of his daughter’s horse by the department for her to use at work in its Please see Journalist, page 11

Blackonomics: - Beyond T-Shirts and Hoodies By James Clingman NNPA Columnist Recollections of my 1995 article on the business of college athletics danced in my head when I heard the news about the University of Missouri football team’s refusal to play until the President of that University, Tim Wolfe, resigns or is dismissed. The players said, “due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experience” and his lax attitude regarding racial issues on campus, they would no longer participate in football activities. (Prior to the publishing date for this article, Tim Wolfe resigned.) As I noted in 1995, and in several articles on college athletics and the billions of dollars they generate, money is the name of the game. When coaches of college teams earn several million dollars per year and half-billion dollar stadiums are being built, the actual laborers, the players, get lost in the shuffle. Well, the players on the University of Missouri football team are far from being invisible as they are making a statement that has divulged an economic vulnerability. By the time you read this the situation may have been resolved, but even if it is there are lessons to be learned and actions to be replicated from this case. According to an article on CBS Sports, “Canceling game with BYU would cost Mizzou $1,000,000.” Everything boils down to dollars, if you look deeply enough, and the young men on Missouri’s team are illuminating that reality by their actions. The same thing could be done in professional athletics as well, in an effort to change the business as usual approach to racial inequities and mistreatment in the general society. It would be much more effective than t-shirts and hoodies. Instead of wearing shirts with a nicesounding slogan on them, or hoodies that connote illegal killings of Black folks, black armbands, or writing something on their shoes, Missouri football players chose the “nuclear option,” as some in Congress would call it. They put their prospective livelihoods on the line, and they put their scholarships on the line by actually doing something substantive rather than symbolic in response to their legitimate concerns about the conditions on their campus. The sacrifice these young people are making cannot be overstated, and I commend them for being strong and committed enough to put core values before fame. I also hope the issue is resolved before this article goes to press; while they deserve our support and accolades, they should
not have to suffer a loss of individual scholarships and their chances to make it to the professional ranks simply because they took a principled stand against racism. Other athletes have already fought that battle and some are still paying the price decades later. Tommie Smith, John Carlos, Muhammad Ali, Curt Flood, and Craig Hodges, just to name a few, took their stands against the system and took the blows that their peers were unwilling to take. They paid a hefty price for having the temerity to stand up and speak out. The Missouri football players now find themselves in a crucible of consciousness, and we should stand with them and assure that they do not suffer the same fate as their forerunners. If they are “blacklisted” by the NFL, Black people—and other sympathizers should boycott NFL games. I pray that someone other than the usual suspects, who are simply looking for the nearest camera, microphone, and a big check to boot, will come to the students’ aide and help them work out their situation in the long term. They have done their part by exposing the underbelly of racial mistreatment at the University, and they have also exposed the school to a financial liability that more than likely does not end with Brigham Young University. How many more games are on Missouri’s schedule? The economic lesson from the players’ threatened “work stoppage,” juxtaposed against Jonathan Butler’s life-threatening hunger strike, is quite revealing. Missouri2 Butler’s life was virtually ignored, but when the dollars came into play things changed right away. The message: A Black life does not matter, but Black dollars do matter. Considering all the critical issues facing Black people in this country, we would do well to use economic power instead of relying on political influence to make appropriate changes to our overall condition. We should celebrate the Missouri players for taking the “road less traveled” as they fight for their rights on their campus; they chose substance over symbolism, action over passivity. Rather than merely wearing their complaints on their chests or their shoes, they chose to wear their concerns on their hearts by letting the world know they are quite serious; they took their protest to the only level that gets results—the economic level. Much respect to those young men and their supporters at Missouri University.

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY NEWS California Attorney General, Department of Education Confirm that Corinthian Colleges Engaged in Fraudulent Practices at California Schools WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43), Ranking Member of the Committee on Financial Services, commended California State Attorney General Kamala Harris and the Department of Education on their successful joint investigation of Corinthian College’s Wyotech and Everest California locations, as well as the Everest online programs based in Florida on Tuesday. The investigation concluded that the programs misrepresented their placement rates to nearly 85,000 enrolled and prospective students. The results of this investigation come on the heels of similar findings made by the Department of Education regarding Corinthian’s Heald campuses – which ultimately resulted in a $30 million fine against the for-profit college for misrepresentation of job placement rates and Corinthian’s closure just 2 months later – and a recent federal court ruling in a matter bought forth by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that Corinthian violated federal consumer protection laws.
Corinthian had as many as 23 locations in California which enrolled 10,000 students at the time the school’s closure. These students were forced to endure extended abuse by Corinthian as no Corinthian California locations were included in Corinthian’s sale of 56 campuses to education nonprofit, Educational Credit Management Corp. in February of this year. “After decades of focusing my legislative career on exposing the sham that is Corinthian Colleges, this news comes as no surprise,” said Congresswoman Waters. “We’ve known for years that Corinthian Colleg-
es have been engaging in manipulative and fraudulent practices in an effort to lure students to pay high cost tuition for a low quality education. I am pleased that the Department of Education and the California Attorney General, Kamala Harris, were able to work together to help our students. I continue to urge more state attorneys general to initiate investigations with the Department of Education that continue to expose Corinthian’s wrongdoing.” Because Corinthian’s action led to its own bankruptcy, Corinthian and its executives will not face any financial liability based on
this or any other subsequent findings or judgements. Yet, students who were victims of these same actions remain liable for their student debt. “I am grateful that today’s findings will likely expand the number of students eligible for streamlined student loan relief,” Waters continued. “As the Department of Education and other federal agencies continue to investigate Corinthian, and as evidence continues to mount that both state and federal consumer protection laws are being violated, the Department should reconsider granting class wide debt relief to former Corinthian students. When looking at all the findings and judgments as a whole, there is a strong justification for the Department to extend full and immediate discharge relief to all harmed Corinthian students.” Going forward, Congresswoman Waters will continue to work with students, advocates, and the Department to help ensure that Corinthian and other for-profit colleges are exposed for engaging in similar fraudulent practices, and that harmed borrowers receive the full relief they deserve.
Since her time as a member of the California State Assembly, Congresswoman Maxine Waters has fought to hold for-profit colleges accountable to the students they are purported to serve. This year, Congresswoman Waters has introduced three pieces of legislation, the CLASS Act, the Students Before Profits Act, and the Ensuring Education Quality for Veteran Act, all designed to curb the abuses of for-profit colleges on our students. Additionally, Congresswoman Waters was the first member of Congress to publically endorse the Corinthian 100, a group of former Corinthian students who declared a debt strike in response to Corinthian’s fraudulent practices. The Department of Education will refer the findings of this investigation to Joseph Smith, the Special Master in charge of borrower defense. Students who attended Corinthian College or any of its subsidiaries can get more information by visiting http://oag.ca.gov/corinthian and www.studentaid.gov/ Corinthian.
Michael is Really Busy for the Holidays By Israel Matthews Contributing Writer Hello. Michael is really busy with all the 3-Hs, Homework, Holidays and Housework. Due to his very busy schedule, Michael has to plan everything he does. He has been given so many assignments that he can hardly keep up with all of his task of things to do. Michael has so many hats to wear. He has to do homework after school everyday. He has to help around the house and keep his room clean, he has to take out the trash, he has to walk with his grandpa and most of all he is going to help out at his school’s big Thanksgiving dinner. He is acting as a server and has to wear black white to show that he is helping serve table to all the parents and their children during the Thanksgiving dinner on today at his school. Michael says he is very excited about helping out. He said that is what Jesus did and anything that Jesus does he is glad to do also. Michael told his mother about his busy schedule and she said, “Michael, do you know that it is good to be busy when you are helping others?” Michael thought about what his mother said and smiled.
See you next week. God Bless.:)

CHURCH & COMMUNITY NEWS NAE, LifeWay Research Publish Evangelical Beliefs Research Definition NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Numerous surveys seek to capture the opinions and practices of evangelicals in the United States. From tithing behaviors to political inclinations, evangelicals are regularly identified in research and polls. Because researchers use different tools to identify evangelicals, results vary from poll to poll. Even the estimated number of U.S. evangelicals ranges from 23 percent to 35 percent of American adults. The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) initiated the development of an evangelical beliefs research definition for accurate and consistent use among researchers more than two years ago. In partnership with LifeWay Research, the definition was crafted, reviewed and tested for validity. “Evangelicals have been misunderstood and categorized incorrectly so often, and much of that is due to inconsistent identification in research,” said Leith Anderson, NAE president. “Now we have a way to measure evangelical belief with confidence.” The NAE/LifeWay Research definition includes four statements to which respondents must strongly agree to be categorized as evangelical: • The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe. • It is very important for me personally to encourage nonChristians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. • Jesus Christ’s death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin. • Only those who trust
in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation. The NAE Board of Directors adopted the evangelical beliefs research definition at its Oct. 15 meeting. Testing for validity Researchers typically have used two methods to identify evangelicals: self-identification and denominational affiliation. In some research polls, evangelicals are identified more by political demographics than religious characteristics. Though the African-American Protestant population is overwhelmingly evangelical in theology and orientation, it is often separated out of polls seeking to identify the political preferences of evangelicals. “Evangelicals are people of faith and should be defined by their beliefs, not by their politics or race,” Anderson said.

“THE GOSPEL OF GOD SUCCESS” Friday, November 20, 2015
GOOD MORNING FAMILY!!! “And he…said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.” (Rev 21:5 NKJV) Have you been saying to yourself lately “Another Day… Same Story!” Hold On, Be not Dismayed, God’s Word Promised “A New Thing In You.” The Bible’s story is one of CHANGE from Genesis, the book of “beginnings,” to Revelation, where God says: “Behold, I make all things new.” Whatever your situation today, CHANGE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH HIM. However often you’ve repented, confessed and tried changing, God can change what you can’t—and make it last. But change requires understanding certain principles. Let’s look at them: (1) You don’t need to change others in order to change your life. “I’d be happier if he’d stop…” “Things won’t improve for me until she…” Such beliefs make you focus on the problem and not the solution, ignore realistic options and feed depression. “Make a careful exploration of who you are…take responsibility for …your own life” (Gal 6:4-5 The Message). INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHANGE OTHERS, which only produces resistance and resentment, let God show you what you need to do differently to improve your handling of the problem. When you stop doing what doesn’t work and change your reactions to the problem, others often change spontaneously. (2) True change begins by addressing your relationship with God. Bitterness and frustration over problems just result in distancing from God, leaving you to handle the issue in your own strength. SURRENDERING TO HIM CHANGES YOU FUNDAMENTALLY, challenging pride, envy, resentment, fear, dishonesty, etc.—characteristics of poor change management. “Let’s take a good look at the way we’re living and reorder our lives under God” (Lam 3:40 The Message). With “our lives under God,” we’re more honest, self-aware, able to perceive realistically; we’re respectful, and PREPARED TO BECOME GOD’S CHANGE AGENTS. Thought for the Week: Give God a Chance!!! Rev. Frank Jackson, Jr.
LifeWay Research and the NAE sought to identify people who hold evangelical beliefs, regardless of affiliation or behavior. The framework provides a valid third method to researchers who typically define evangelicals by denominational membership or self-identification. “We’re not saying these are the only evangelicals, but we are saying this will define someone as having evangelical belief,” said Scott McConnell, vice president of LifeWay Research. With input from a diverse group of sociologists, theologians and evangelical leaders, LifeWay
Research designed and tested 17 questions that were eventually narrowed to a set of four. The statements closely mirror historian David Bebbington’s classic four-point definition of evangelicalism, but with an emphasis on belief rather than behavior, said Ed Stetzer, executive director of LifeWay Research. “Affiliation and behavior can be measured in addition to evangelical beliefs, but this is a tool for researchers measuring the beliefs that evangelicals—as determined by the NAE—believe best define the movement. And, just as Native Americans might best define who is a Native American, we think evangelicals can best define evangelicals,” he said. LifeWay Research confirmed the statements are statistically valid, reliable, and form a valid scale, testing them in online and phone surveys. People who strongly agree with one statement tend to strongly agree with others, indicating the statements measure a “theological package” of evangelical belief, Stetzer said.Those who strongly agree with all four statements are more likely to attend church frequently and identify themselves as evangelical, indicating the survey measures the intended group. “This simple set of four
questions reliably discerns those who share evangelical beliefs from those who do not,” Stetzer said. Identity versus belief LifeWay Research’s phone survey of 1,000 Americans found widespread agreement with traditional evangelical beliefs. Fifty-two percent strongly agree the Bible is their highest authority, and 58 percent strongly agree Jesus’ death is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of sin. Almost as many strongly agree it is important for them to personally encourage non-Christians to trust Christ (49 percent) and only those who trust solely in Jesus will be saved (48 percent). “The biggest challenge in defining evangelicals is that too many people want to affirm evangelical beliefs, to the point you can end up with an unrealistic percentage— no one thinks the majority of Americans are evangelicals,” Stetzer said. About 3 in 10 Americans fit the NAE/LifeWay Research statistical definition of what would count as evangelical by belief. That number will move a bit due to the format of the questionnaire and the margin of error, but it also aligns with other studies using other methods, Stetzer said. Please see NAE, page 11

HEALTH & COMMUNITY NEWS Pregnant or Planning a Pregnancy? 5 Risk Factors for Preterm Birth to Know (BPT) - November is World Prematurity Awareness Month. Preterm birth continues to be a public health concern in the United States and in many other countries around the world. In the United States, preterm birth is more common than you may think: approximately one in 10 babies is born premature. Preterm birth can prevent growth and development from happening during the final weeks of pregnancy, which is why staying pregnant to full term, or 40 weeks, is one of the best ways to give babies the time they need to grow. Even if a woman does everything "right" during pregnancy, she can still have a premature baby. While the healthcare community is continuously working to better understand the causes of premature birth, there are certain known risk factors that make some women more at risk than others. If you are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, here's what you need to know about risk factors for preterm birth: 1. Previous, unexpected preterm birth If you've had a baby early already, you may not realize that you are
at risk for having another baby early. Women who have previously delivered a baby preterm - before 37 weeks or more than three weeks prior to the due date - are at risk for having another preterm birth. And, the earlier in gestation a baby is born and the more spontaneous preterm births a woman has had, the higher the risk. Visit GrowthYouCantSee.com to hear from Toiya, a mom who gave birth early during her first pregnancy and discovered she was at risk for another preterm birth. You can also find out more about the important growth that happens during the final weeks of pregnancy. 2. African American heritage On average, African American women are about 60 percent more likely to have a premature baby compared to Caucasian women. The reasons for this difference are not fully understood. Visit GrowthYouCantSee.com for a helpful checklist of risk factors and sample questions to guide a conversation about potential risks with your healthcare provider. 3. Twins, triples, or other multiples If you are pregnant with mul-
What Is It? By Dean L. Jones, CPM By Dean L. Jones In the 1960's a commonly expressed greeting slang ardently asked the question 'What It Is? In essence, the sender said this to solicit a response to gather the latest happenings, whether a party, job opportunity, or the general health status. With today's highly shaky health situations it may render that old time verbal slang worthy of being revived. Particularly, we should find out what processed sugar is and its negative effects on our health. For starters, there is a big difference between 'naturally occurring sugar' and 'added processed sugar.' Naturally occurring sugar is the sugar found in whole, unprocessed foods, such as milk (lactose), fruit, vegetables, and some grains. One of the most common natural sugars is fructose, which is found in fruit. What sugar is can be associated with an animal product. The manufacturing of this sweet stuff from the sugar cane and/or beet plants is commonly filtered through animal bone char. Normally, it is the pelvic bones from cows that are ground and burned at 400 to 500 degrees (Celsius) in a factory as part of the processing table sugar. These ground bones help to absorb colorants and impurities, where the average sugar factory uses up to 70 thousand pounds of bone char (7,800 hundred cows) for each filter. Although, the sugar maker has to pay for those animal bones, usually from a slaughterhouse containing not only bones, but blood and other body parts such as tendons (as in gelatin). The charred bone processing in white or brown sugar is run through bone char to remove impurities, as well as confectioner’s sugar, which is a combination of processed white sugar and cornstarch. In the larger picture, the bones are required to come from animals that die of natural causes. Most cow bones used for processing sugar in the United States

Dean L. Jones are indirectly purchased from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Argentina, and India. For health concerns, a number of countries like Europe, Australia and New Zealand have banned the use of bone char in their local sugar manufacturing process, which includes the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that also prohibit the use of bones from the United States’ meat industry. For something that is void of any nutritional value, it surely seems like a lot of trouble having to make it from repeated heating, chemical treatment, filtration and crystallization processes. Essentially, consuming this common sweet tasting ingredient potentially jeopardizes the body with a toxic chemical substance that has limited safety factors. Processed sugar is void of natural vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are present in the original sugar beet or cane plant, resulting in empty calories. For that reason, whenever asked about processed sugar by the phrase --What It Is?--the response is absolutely nothing. Consequently, what is certain is to buy, dine, and be SugarAlert! www.SugarAlert.com Mr. Jones is a marketing strategist with the Southland Partnership Corporation (a public benefit organization), sharing his view on mismanagement practices of packaged foods & beverages.
tiples including twins, triplets or more, you are at higher risk for preterm birth. 4. Smoking, drinking alcohol, or using drugs Lifestyle choices directly impact the health of a growing baby, and certain habits can cause lifelong health problems for a baby. Smoking, drinking alcohol, and using illegal drugs can restrict a baby's growth and increase the chances for preterm birth. Avoid these substances. If you need help to
quit, talk with your healthcare provider. 5. Stress Bringing a baby into the world is no easy task. Pregnancy can be nerve-wracking, and it's perfectly normal to feel stressed. However, too much stress can cause health problems and increase a woman's chances for preterm birth. Taking care of your emotional health by learning to manage stress makes for a healthier preg-
nancy and is an essential part of taking care of your baby. You can take steps to help reduce the chances of your baby being born prematurely.

NEWS Increased African-American Enrollment Is Key Goal in Year 3 of Affordable Care Act Trying to make a 90day supply of medication helping to control your diabetes last over two years wouldn’t add up for most people. But if you were uninsured, as Kimberly LenoirSanderson once was, you’d learn a new kind of math. “I’d cut them into threes to make them stretch,” said Lenoir-Sanderson, who resides in Loma Linda. “Some days I wouldn’t take a pill if my blood sugar was normal, but it caused a lot of worry. I didn’t know when my bad days would be, and that was a problem.” After several false starts that included struggling to enroll online, missing an enrollment deadline and being generally confused about the new health care law, Lenoir-Sanderson finally gained coverage this past August through special enrollment with Covered California, the state agency that administers the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. She now has a Silver plan from Health Net and pays a $364 monthly premium. “It was a quick process — and easy,” Lenoir-Sanderson said of the person-to-person help she received from a Covered California enrollment counselor. “I paid my premium, and I can

I’m a little afraid of seeing a doctor because I haven’t seen one in so long, but knowledge is power.” Covered California is in the third year of helping millions of Californians gain health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Open enrollment began Nov. 1, 2015, and continues through Jan. 31, 2016. More than 2 million consumers have been enrolled at one time or another since coverage began in January 2014. Mil-
lions more have received care through low-cost or no-cost Medi-Cal. Still, hundreds of thousands of Californians don’t have insurance — many of whom are African-Americans like LenoirSanderson. With that in mind, Covered California has launched a new marketing and outreach effort to boost African-American enrollment. The African-American enrollment initiative will empha-
size financial assistance available to help consumers pay for insurance coverage. Covered California is targeting specific ZIP codes across the state where higher numbers of uninsured and subsidy-eligible African-Americans live, work, play and pray. “Changing our state from a culture of coping to a culture of coverage is a longterm proposition,” Covered California Chief Deputy Executive Director Yolanda Richardson said. “We’ve made great progress in helping AfricanAmericans gain the coverage they need and deserve, but we recognize there is much more to be done in proving to the remaining uninsured the value in having health coverage.” Of 2.7 million Californians eligible to receive financial assistance under the Affordable Care Act, about 5 percent, or 130,000, are African-American, according to a joint study by the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, Berkeley. Covered California will push enrollment at storefronts in African-American communities where Certified Insurance Agents and Certified Enrollment Counselors will be on hand to
assist consumers. With support from Covered California community partners, the agency will sponsor education, outreach and enrollment events at churches on Sundays, at barbershops and hair salons on Saturdays, and at “enrollment block parties” going door-to-door in high-priority African-American neighborhoods. In addition, enhanced social media and marketing campaigns will be launched to reach African-Americans, and partnerships with local schools, businesses and community-based organizations that serve AfricanAmerican communities will be expanded. Nearly 90 percent of Covered California enrollees receive some level of financial assistance to help pay for their premiums, with the average being $5,200 in aid annually. “We want to stress to African-American consumers that their health and well-being is worth insuring,” Richardson said. “Many Californians are receiving thousands of dollars each year to help with the cost of health insurance premiums — money African-American consumers should not walk away from and leave on the table.”

BUSINESS & COMMUNITY NEWS The 4-Step Plan To Make Your Day More Efficient (BPT) - Remember free time? You used to have so much of it. But these days, work and family obligations have you running around constantly and you don't know what to do first. You don't even have time to do everything you have to do, let alone what you want to do. So how do you take back your day? How do you find the time to get things done and bring back some semblance of order? It is possible if you focus on making yourself more efficient. To help you accomplish all of your goals and find some free time as well, here are four ways you can improve your efficiency every single day. * Make a plan. When you're running through your list of daily obligations the morning of, it's easy to forget a thing or two, especially if you
have children running around, phones ringing or dogs barking to distract you. Instead, plan out the upcoming day the night before. Make a list of everything you have to do and check these items against one another. Can two trips be combined? Are you prioritizing the most important things first? The better you can plan out your schedule, the more organized you'll be the next day. * Get the news and information you need ASAP. You are bombarded by digital content every day and some of it is really important - but who has time to sift through it all? To help you find the information you need as quickly as possible, Fresly LLC launched a new app, iNews Photo. Whether you are on the go, or gathering news in your office this application allows you access to global and local news curated in real time by former
journalist directly to your mobile phone or on a larger screen. * Set priorities. You don't have time to do it all and maybe you don't have to. Sit down and make a list of every social or professional group and obligation you belong to. Once you've made the list, look at it and ask yourself honestly how important this obligation is to you or your family. If you find the obligation is not essential, you're better off to abandon it and save your time for the responsibilities that are more important to you. * Limit multitasking. Many people look to multitasking as an efficiency solution, but doing several things at once means it takes longer to accomplish any one task. And when the first task is completed, the result is often poorer because of it. Instead of trying to do

NATIONAL/STATE & REGIONAL NEWS Minneapolis NAACP Chief Calls for Release of Videos in Fatal Police Shooting By Brendan o’Brien MINNEAPOLIS—The head of the Minneapolis NAACP on Thursday joined protesters in demanding that authorities release videos of an altercation earlier this week in which a police officer shot an unarmed black man to death. Nekima Levy-Pounds, president of the Minneapolis National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said there have been "so many false narratives spun by the Minneapolis Police Department as to what has happened." "Enough is enough," she told about 75 protesters and members of the media at a news conference outside the police precinct near where Jamar Clark, 24, was shot early Sunday. Clark is the latest in a series of unarmed black people to be killed at the hands of police in the United States in the past several years, fueling protests nationwide. Community activists have said Clark was unarmed and claim he was handcuffed when he was shot shortly during an

altercation with two police officers. On Wednesday, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety identified the officers involved but did not reveal their races. Both are on administrative leave during the investigation. "We're demanding release of the tapes," Levy-Pounds said. "We're demanding reform of the police department and we are demanding justice for Jamar
More than 500,000 People Homeless in the United States By Eric M. Johnson More than 500,000 people - a quarter of them children - were homeless in the United States this year amid scarce affordable housing across much of the nation, according to a study released on Thursday. The report, from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), said the number was down slightly from 2014. Many U.S. cities are confronting a sluggish economic recovery, stagnant or falling wages among the lowest-income earners and budget constraints for social welfare programs. Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Oregon and Hawaii have all recently declared emergencies over the rise of homelessness, and on Thursday Seattle's mayor toured a new encampment for his city's dispossessed. "Despite national estimates, New York City continues to experience near record homelessness," said Giselle Routhier, a spokeswoman for the Coalition for the Homeless, an advocacy group. According to HUD's latest tally, nearly 565,000 people were living on the streets in cars, in homeless shelters or in subsidized transitional housing during a one-night national survey in January. Nearly one-fourth were aged 18 or under. That number was down 2 percent from the previous year's count and 11 percent from 2007, HUD said. The actual U.S. homeless population is likely higher
than HUD's snapshot suggests because many people living without the means to put a roof over their heads are beyond the reach of the survey, sleeping on a friend's couch or a relative's basement. HUD reported separately this month that roughly 1.49 million individuals used a shelter in 2014, up 4.6 percent from 2013, agency spokeswoman Heather Fluit said. Even as homelessness has waned nationally, 17 states posted increases, including the two most populous - New York and California, up nearly 10 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively, from last year. Thirty-three states and the District of Columbia recorded declines, with the biggest drops found in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Michigan and New Jersey. "I am glad it's trending downward, but a 2 percent change (nationally) is pretty much flat," said Nan Roman, president of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, in Washington. A lack of affordable housing, combined with slumping pay at the lower end of the U.S. wage scale, has been cited by analysts as a driver of homelessness in a number of U.S. cities. "We are 7 million units short of affordable housing for low-income people – that's a big gap," Roman said. (Reporting by Eric M. Johnson in Seattle; Editing by Steve Gorman and Sandra Maler)
Clark right now." Authorities have said there was no video of the shooting from police dashboard or body cameras, but investigators are reviewing video from business and security cameras in the area. They also are checking witnesses' cell phones but said none of those videos captured the entire incident. Bob Kroll, president of the union representing Minneap-
olis police officers, said at a Thursday news conference that Clark had grabbed one of the officers' guns during the melee, although the weapon remained in its holster. Kroll has previously said that Clark was not handcuffed during the struggle. "This event should have been a peaceful encounter. It was the actions and choices only of Mr. Clark alone that determined its outcome," he said. "The officers’ actions are going to prove to be justified." Frederic Bruno, an attorney representing one of the officers involved in the incident, said in a written statement that Clark had prior convictions for robbery and making criminal threats. PROTEST CAMP ERECTED Protesters have set up a camp, including more than 12 tents and half a dozen campfires, in front of the police precinct building near the shooting site in north Minneapolis. A sign near the building reads "Justice4Jamar." About 200 demonstrators on Thursday were chanting, singing
and holding signs near the building, while several officers, in their regular uniforms, watched from the front of the precinct. Tensions rose later in the evening, when several protesters spray painted on the side of the building and police fired rubber bullets at a small group. Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is investigating Clark's death, has said Clark was unarmed and the BCA was still trying to determine whether he was handcuffed. According to the BCA, the police officers had responded to a request for assistance from paramedics who reported that someone was interfering as they tried to help an assault victim. The BCA said Clark, who died on Monday night at a hospital, was a suspect in the assault and had an altercation with the officers before one of them shot him.
