WASHINGTON (AP) -Aiming to alleviate the bur-den of student loan debt,President Barack Obamaexpanded a programMonday that lets borrowerspay no more than 10 per-cent of their income everymonth, and threw his sup-port behind more sweepingSenate legislation targetingthe issue.
Flanked by student loanborrowers at the WhiteHouse, Obama said the ris-ing costs of college have leftAmerica's middle class feel-ing trapped. He put his pento a presidential memoran-dum that he said could helpan additional 5 million bor-rowers lower their monthlypayments.
''I'm only here becausethis country gave me achance through education,''Obama said. ''We are heretoday because we believethat in America, no hard-working young person
should be priced out of ahigher education.''
Obama also announcedhe is directing the govern-ment to renegotiate con-tracts with federal studentloan servicers to encouragethem to make it easier forborrowers to avoid default-ing on their loans. And heasked Treasury andEducation departments towork with major tax prepar-ers, including H&R Block andthe makers of TurboTax, toincrease awareness abouttuition tax credits and flexi-ble repayment options avail-able to borrowers.
''It's going to makeprogress, but not enough,''Obama said. ''We needmore.''
To that end, Obama usedthe East Room appearanceto endorse legislation thatwould let college graduateswith heavy debts refinancetheir loans.
The bill's chief advocate,
Democratic Sen. ElizabethWarren of Massachusetts,joined a half-dozen otherDemocratic lawmakers asObama urged Congress topass the bill.
''This should be a no-brainer,'' Obama said.
The Senate is expected todebate the legislation nextweek, but it faces significantopposition fromRepublicans, who disagreewith the Democrats' plan forhow to pay for it.
Under an income-basedrepayment plan created byCongress, the maximummonthly payment is alreadyset to drop from 15 percentof income to 10 percent inJuly 2014. But that plan onlyaffects new borrowers.Obama's ''Pay as You Earn''plan uses another part ofexisting law to offer similarbenefits to people whoalready borrowed to financetheir education.

Happy Father’s Day!
The Apostle Paul commands usto rejoice always no matter whatthe circumstances seem to be. OurChristian joy is not dependentupon external circumstances; itssprings out of the fact that we are
in Christ and is rooted in theunfathomable blessings flowingfrom that union. Thus, everythingin our Christian experience shouldbe a cause for Joy. Even though weare maligned, even though we aremisunderstood, we can rejoicebecause we are assured that Godalmighty is still in control. We canrejoice in what God is doing in ourlives and in what he is doing to do.When you think about it realistical-ly, God is working through these"seemingly adverse circumstances"for our own good. Through thesecircumstances, we learn to dependon God.
Paul's statement to "rejoiceevermore" is in the imperative; andthus if we refuse to do it, we aresinning. We have no right to con-tinue to be despondent and miser-able. By rejoicing always evenwhen our circumstances areadverse, we are displaying to oneanother that we are trusting in theall-sufficiency of Christ. To wreckour lives by remaining in the stateof despondency, we are exhibitingto one another and to the worldthat we are not trusting in God.
In one Sunday morning service,our pastor read to our congrega-tion the letter we received regard-
ing the physical condition of PercyPrince. Even though Percy was ill,his letter brought Joy to our heartsbecause of his mammoth faith inGod's sovereignty for his life. Afterchurch service a friend of minesaid, "I can't understand how Percycould display so much Joy in his let-ter knowing that he is very ill." Ireplied, "Percy has reached a spiri-tual point in his life where he hasaccepted God's will for his life." Itold him we should all rejoicealways because our infinite God isworking out every situation in ourlives for our lives for our own good.Think about it!!!

“We hear your calling/ And webegin by giving you 100 years/ Ofloving defense/ We shall encour-age the world to look/ Upon yourcomplexion and see community.”
- Maya Angelou, from the origi-nal poem “We Hear You,” a com-memorative tribute to the NationalUrban League, performed at theorganization’s Centennial celebra-tion on July 28, 2010
There have been many tributesto the remarkable life of MayaAngelou. President Obama calledher “one of the brightest lights ofour time.” Former PresidentClinton described her as “a nation-al treasure and a beloved friend.”Oprah Winfrey said, “She willalways be the rainbow in myclouds.”
But it is virtually impossible to
sum up in words the many dimen-sions, the many gifts and the manylives touched by a woman whoreigned in regality as the QueenMother. As I said in my own tributeon the day of her passing, “Dr.Maya Angelou defies any singledescription. She defined theessence of a ‘Phenomenal Woman’for us.”
Maya Angelou is best known tomillions as a prolific poet andauthor. Her first (of six) autobi-ographies, I Know Why the CagedBird Sings, inspired the legendaryJames Baldwin to write, “I have nowords for this achievement, but Iknow that not since the days of mychildhood, when the people inbooks were more real than thepeople one saw every day, have Ifound myself so moved.”
As an author of numerousworks of poetry and prose,Angelou continued until the hourof her passing to move us with herwords and in so many other ways –as a singer, dancer, actor, activist,teacher, sage and much more. It iswidely known that she did notspeak for several years following atragic childhood rape that resultedin the murder of her rapist. But,
instead of remaining closed andsilent, Angelou spread her wings,found her voice and soared intothe hearts, minds and souls of mil-lions of people around the world.
In a lifetime arising out of hardtimes, there was almost nothingshe couldn’t do or didn’t try. Herofficial website, mayaangelou.com,recounts that, “As a young singlemother, she supported her son byworking as a waitress and cook…”In the 1940s, she became the firstBlack woman streetcar conductorin San Francisco. She even onceworked as an auto body shop paintremover. She was also an accom-plished dancer and singer. She haswritten a Pulitzer Prize nominatedscreenplay, “Georgia, Georgia,”and was nominated for a 1973Tony Award for her Broadway per-formance in “Look Away.”
She has danced with Alvin Ailey,toured Europe in “Porgy and Bess”and made numerous appearancesin films and on TV. Maya Angelouwas a modern day Renaissancewoman who lived her own philoso-phy, “Pursue the things you lovedoing and do them so well thatpeople can’t take their eyes offyou.”
Maya Angelou was also a com-mitted civil rights activist. She wasa friend and confidante of MalcolmX. She once served as northerncoordinator of Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr.’s Southern ChristianLeadership Conference (SCLA).Since 1982, she served as ReynoldsProfessor of American Studies atWake Forest University. As herson, Guy Johnson, described her,she was “a warrior for equality, tol-erance and peace.”
The National Urban League willforever be grateful for her spell-binding appearance at our 100thanniversary celebration in 2010,where she delivered an originalcommemorative poem entitled“We Hear You.” Like us, the worldcould not help but hear the power-ful words and wisdom of Angelou.
She left us with a final wish. OnMay 23, five days before her death,she tweeted, “Listen to yourselfand in that quietude you mighthear the voice of God.” We willmiss her incredible creative andgenerous spirit. But the love andvision of Maya Angelou will contin-ue to rise. It is up to all of us tomake sure that we continue to risewith her.
By Congresswoman EddieBernice Johnson
On a bitterly cold morning inJanuary of 1993 during the firstInauguration of President WilliamJefferson Clinton, the late racon-teur, Maya Angelou, captured thevery soul of our nation while recit-ing her poem entitled, "On thePulse of Morning." She was onlythe second poet to recite at a pres-idential swearing-in ceremony.
I sat in the cold with othermembers of the Congress, the newpresident, vice-president, mem-bers of the Supreme Court andtens of thousands who had cometo witness the inaugural cere-monies.
Dr. Angelou, like the new presi-dent, was born in Arkansas, mes-merized all that heard her voice
that morning. In her lyrical poemshe said that an ancient rock criedout for all of humanity, challengingpeople to stand upon its back, andface a collective destiny, and achanging world.
In her eclectic life, Dr. Angelou,a single parent who struggledfinancially to raise her young son,pursued careers as a stage actress,a poet, a street car driver, a maga-zine editor, a civil rights organizer, acollege professor and a calypsodancer.
A winner of the PresidentialMedal of Freedom, the highestaward given to a civilian by ourgovernment, Dr. Angelou lived afull and purposeful life. Just daysbefore her passing she was plan-ning a social gathering in her homein New York City.
She was an elegantly strikingwoman who stood nearly six feettall. She liked to dance, she drankbourbon and she was passionatelydevoted to the reading of scrip-ture. She and a fellow writer, thelate Amiri Baraka once joyouslydanced over the ashes of the greatwriter, Langston Hughes.
In her voracious writings, Dr.Angelou explored the concepts ofpersonal identify and resiliencethrough the multi-faceted lens ofracial identity, sexual engagement,the human family and the necessi-ty to love.
In 1969, Dr. Angelou's acclaimedautobiographic work, "I Know Whythe Caged Bird Sings," became abest seller, and its commercial suc-cess opened the door for otherAfrican-American female writerswho until that time had been large-ly ignored by the publishing indus-try.
Ever an instructor and teacher,Dr. Angelou, a full professor,taught for years at Wake ForestUniversity, a relatively small liberalarts institution in North Carolina.Her presence in the lecture halls ofWake Forest drastically affectedthe lives of many of the studentsand teachers she encountered.Students from universities locatedhundreds of miles from WakeForest flocked to the school to lis-ten to Dr. Angelou's lectures.Those who wanted to speak withher were given her personal phone
number at her home.While she befriended presi-
dents such as Bill Clinton andBarack Obama, Dr. Angelou wascomfortable with the men andwomen who found themselvesunemployed and wedded to urbanstreet corners and coal mines.
During the eight decades and sixyears that Dr. Angelou lived amongus she gave of herself without anythought of personal gain. She wasunabashedly committed to theimprovement of the human condi-tion. She loved people with no con-cern for their race, their place ofbirth or their religious beliefs.
Indeed, the world has lost oneof it great citizens, and God hasgained another angel. She wroteand articulated so many profound-ly important messages. I shallnever forget that January morningwhen she charged our nation,intellectually and spiritually. Herpresence is etched in my soul.
"No one can dim the light thatshines from within," she onceadmonished us. Dr. Angelou's lightshall shine eternally.
Dear Editor,Warmer temperatures are a wel-
come change after a long, cold win-ter—but as the mercury rises, it’s cru-cial to protect our animal companionsby never leaving them in parked vehi-
cles. Every year, PETA receives dozensof reports of animals suffering anddying in hot, parked cars. Cruelty-to-animals charges are routinely filed insuch cases.
It only takes minutes for a parkedcar to cook an animal alive: On a warm
day, even with the windows cracked,the temperature inside a parked carcan reach more than 160 degrees.Parking in the shade and/or leavingwater in the vehicle won’t help.Symptoms of heatstroke include rest-lessness, excessive thirst, heavy panti-ng, lethargy, lack of appetite and coor-dination, dark tongue, and vomiting.Dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just15 minutes, resulting in brain damageor death.
Please, when it’s even a little warm
outside, never leave any living being ina parked car, even for “just a minute.” Ifyou see a dog left in a car, have theowner paged or call 911 immediately—the dog’s life depends on it. Visitwww.PETA.org to learn more.
Sincerely,Martin Mersereau, DirectorEmergency Response TeamCruelty Investigations DepartmentPeople for the Ethical Treatment of

I disagree with PresidentObama’s decision to trade fiveTaliban leaders being held atGuantanamo Bay for Sgt. BoweBergdahl, an apparent deserterwho is believed to have been theonly U.S. solider being held as aprisoner of war in Afghanistan.
My opposition is based on thefirm belief that such exchanges onlyencourage future violence againstthe U.S. For proof, we need to lookno further than statements madeby Taliban leaders after theexchange of prisoners.
Time magazine quoted oneTaliban commander: “It’s better tokidnap one person like Bergdahlthan kidnapping hundreds of use-less people. It has encouraged ourpeople. Now everybody will workhard to capture such an importantbird.”
Even so, Obama critics are incor-rect when they claim that PresidentObama is departing from past U.S.practices.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), forexample, said, “The reason why theU.S. has had the policy for decadesof not negotiating with terrorists isbecause once you start doing it,
every other terrorist has incentiveto capture more soldiers.”
Cruz is right about incentive, aswe have already seen, but he isdead wrong about the U.S. notnegotiating with terrorists.
Michael Reiss, who worked forthe State Department underGeorge W. Bush, has written a booktitled, Negotiating with Evil. Hetraces the practice of the U.S. nego-tiating with terrorists all the wayback to George Washington, JohnAdams and Thomas Jefferson.
Politifact, quoting Reiss, said thethree “accommodated what todaywould be viewed as terrorists.” Theauthor stated, “They each author-ized payment to the Barbarypirates, and the U.S. Senate evenratified a treaty that enshrined theannual provision of naval suppliesas ‘protection.’ “
According to USAToday, “…Security experts like BruceHoffman, director of GeorgetownUniversity’s Center for SecurityStudies, said that however commonthe refrain ‘we do not negotiatewith terrorists’ has become, it is‘repeated as mantra more thanfact.’
“‘We have long negotiated withterrorists. Virtually every othercountry in the world has negotiatedwith terrorists despite pledgesnever to,’” Hoffman said. “‘Weshould be tough on terrorists, butnot on our fellow countrymen whoare their captives, which meanshaving to make a deal with the devilwhen there is no alternative.’”
In that same newspaper article,Charles “Cully” Stimson, whohelped coordinate the Pentagon’sdetainee operations under
President George W. Bush, saidboth Democratic and Republicanadministrations have relied on ter-rorist groups for “information, sup-plies, personnel – a lot of differenttopics.”
He told USAToday, “We have hadvery quiet negotiations, or discus-sions at least, with terrorist groupsover the years on a whole host ofthings. They just haven’t usuallycome to light.”
But many have come to light.Quoting Reiss’ book, Politifactnotes:
*After the North Koreans cap-tured the U.S.S. Pueblo in 1968,President Lyndon Johnson apolo-gized for spying as part of negotia-tions to secure the release of 83American prisoners.
*In 1970, President RichardNixon pressured Israel, Switzerland,West Germany and Britain torelease Palestinian prisoners aftertwo airlines were hijacked by thePopular Front for the Liberation ofPalestine.
*During the Iran hostage crisis of1979 to 1981, President JimmyCarter agreed to unfreeze $8 billionin frozen Iranian assets after morethan a year of negotiations with theIranian revolutionaries.
*In perhaps the most famousswap, after seven Americans werecaptured in Beirut, Lebanon,President Ronald Reagan agreed tosend missiles to Iran in whatbecame known as the Iran-Contrascandal.
*President Bill Clinton’s adminis-tration sat down with Hamas inattempts to negotiate peace withIsrael. His administration alsoworked directly with the Taliban
nearly two decades ago on severaloccasions to see if the group wouldhand over Osama bin Laden andother al-Qaida leaders.
The Website added, “Reiss alsonoted that President George W.Bush engaged in negotiations withIran and North Korea even afterdecreeing them part of the ‘Axis ofEvil.’”
Defending such actions hasbecome a sophisticated game ofhair-splitting technicalities.
Factcheck.org observed, “…TheU.S. does not consider detaineesheld at the Guantanamo Naval Basein Cuba to be prisoners of war. TheState Department calls thedetainees ‘enemy combatants.’ Infact, the U.S. specifically declared in2002 that ‘Taliban detainees arenot entitled to POW status. … TheTaliban have not effectively distin-guished themselves from the civil-ian population of Afghanistan.Moreover, they have not conductedtheir operations in accordance withthe laws and customs of war.’ Thatcomplicates any assertion that thiswas a simple swap of prisoners ofwar.”
The word game does not endthere. ‘For what it’s worth, StateDepartment Deputy SpokespersonMarie Harf said in a press confer-ence on June 4 that the StateDepartment doesn’t claim that itwon’t ‘negotiate’ with terrorists,but rather that it does not make‘concessions’ to terrorists,’”Factcheck.org noted. “She said theswap was not a concession to ter-rorists, but rather was part of alongstanding, historical precedentof exchanging prisoners “‘during atime of war.’”
Aries (March 21-April 19)Aries have a good time explor-ing their neighborhood andmeeting all their neighbors. Tryto find a new hang out, samplea new restaurant or throw ablock party. You never knowwho you will meet. There issomething very likeable aboutyou that attracts all sorts ofinteresting characters. Butdon't just fan the air with idlechit chat. At very least, sharethe local gossip.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)Money comes your way with-out much effort on your part.Other items of value seem toflow your way as well now.Easy gains and effortless com-fort? At least it will seem thatway. The fact is, Taurus, thatnothing comes that easily with-out some sort of planning orhidden price. The cost revealsitself later once you get use toall the glorious glitter. Ain't thatrich?
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)This week heralds in a time ofrewards for all your previoushard work and planning.Haven't been working much?Haven't planned anythingworthwhile? No matter. Peoplelove you for who you are nomatter how lazy you've been.Enjoy it while you can, Gemini.Too, too soon you will have topay the piper. Until then have'em play the tarantella anddance.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23) Feeling a bit closed in andclaustrophobic? Let it all hangout this week as you let go ofany psychological baggage thathas been holding you back.Freedom is liberating and youmay even stumble upon somesecret stash of mementos thatreignite old flames and lostloves from the past. Start a rag-ing fire and see how hot it canburn. But don't get singed.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)Leos needn't feel alone now,nor should they allow them-selves to curl up at home andshut themselves away. This isthe time of year to make your-self very well known. You areoffered a wide choice of enjoy-able social activities. Gatheryour compadres and makemerry. Friends provide thelaughs if you can provide thevenue. No, not at home. Gopaint the town any color!
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEP-TEMBER 23)Instead of toiling in the back-room for pennies, use theweek to break from the gener-al herd and get in front of thepack. Toss a few of your wellhidden but great ideas in frontof the powers-that-be and seewhat can they can become.Virgos deserve more than theyare getting and can get morethan they expect now. At leastthat is what I've been told....LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTO-BER 23)What is it that stirs your inter-
est? Pursue it now. SociableLibras can inflate their circleinto a globe and lob it across allsorts of exotic terrains. If youcan possibly travel, do so. Youcan expect to have an especial-ly memorable adventure. Iftime and money are tight, sat-isfy your wanderlust with a fewlusty wanderers. Oh but let'skeep it anonymous!
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 -NOVEMBER 22)The week brings out the beastin you. And it's bout time! Lifegets decidedly more interest-ing and intense. Look yourbest. You have an earthinessand passion that can changethe course of human events...or something like that.Scorpios are not known fortheir animal tendencies butnow you can be tenderized by afew bucking broncos. Yahoo!Ride 'em!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23- DECEMBER 22)Partnerships take on a greaterintensity. Sagittarians can andshould turn their attention totheir significant others andhave them figure more promi-nently in their future plans. Forthose who are on the hunt,find ways of making yourselfmore available. Late nights atthe office won't do it. Neitherwill lunches at your desk. Rubelbows every chance you get.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 -JANUARY 20)Make good use of your workschedule, Capricorn. You havea great opportunity to accom-plish something of importanceon the job. Well, maybe notsomething earthshaking ormonumental but somethingthat you can point to and callyour own. Okay maybe it'smore like a nicely writtenmemo ... or a clean desk ... orperfect attendance.Remember that every effortcounts!
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 -FEBRUARY 19)Aquarians have a rare opportu-nity to kick back and have funnow. You are inspired and feelmore creative. Try somethingor someone new and see howartistic you really are. Don't lettoo much time go by beforeyou begin to plan (and launch)a regatta of ship shape parties.Get all hands on deck. Watchwhere you put those handsbuster!
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 -MARCH 20)What is it about your home sit-uation that gives everything adifferent and happy hue?Pisces will kick their feet upand relax with a few closefriends or spend their downtime decorating their sur-roundings. For those with a fewpersonal, familial things to getoff their chests, say what needsto be said. You are more sensi-tive to others reactions butdon't get a rash.

"REJOICE EVERMORE" I THESSALONIANS 5:16
Rev. Johnny C. Smith, Pastor – MountMoriah Missionary Baptist Church
By Colleen White
If there is something youthink you are hiding from God,you're wrong. God knows everylittle thing that is deep in your
heart. He is the one who trulyknows you like no other.Therefore, if there is a secret sinthat God has been speaking toyour heart about, then you needto confess it and turn away fromit. In the book of Psalm it says,"Create in me a pure heart, OGod, and renew a steadfast spir-it within me" (Psalm 51:10).
God can begin to create aclean heart in you and me the
moment we realize that we needhis forgiveness. Once we are ableto accept that, then we canbegin to move forward inacknowledging that we are sin-ners. God will freely forgive youand me of our sins, but we haveto confess them to Him.
If God has been speaking toyour heart about an unconfessedsin, knowing this, you need toconfess it today. Don't think that
all your good works, your faithfulgiving, and your perfect atten-dance at church will give you apass from facing sin God wantsyou to confess. You need to con-fess your sin today.
Only Christ is able to forgiveus of our sins. Are you willing tocome before the Father and con-fess your hidden sins to Christtoday? I know I am. Amen?Amen.

O Divine
Master,
Grant that I
may not so
much seek
To be consoled,
as to console;
To be
understood,
as to under-
stand;
To be loved as

For it is in giv-

receive;
It is in pardon-

pardoned;
And it is in
dying that we
are born to
eternal life.
Amen.

said Anderson."Don't let someone'sopinion about youbecome your reality.Don't let fatiguedefeat you and makesure you have thestamina to be achampion in life." "
In the book,Anderson talks aboutgrowing up without amother and a father,being homeless andbecoming a father atage 14. He describeshow he refused toallow the circum-stances of his life todetermine where hewould end up, andhow he used perse-verance to break outof a downward cycle
and take responsibili-ty for himself and hislife.Despite this adversi-ty, Anderson earneda basketball scholar-ship to Ohio Stateand earned a degreeat the University ofKentucky.

Do you need a job?Where are all of thesejobs being created? Whois leading the charge?The Department of Laborconcentrates on the num-ber of jobs posted nation-ally, but not necessarilythe places and who hasthem.
The growth of womenof color as business own-ers is a long term trend,but now the spotlight sitssquarely on the AfricanAmerican women in busi-ness. This segment of the
market has had remark-able growth for a varietyof reasons. But whateverthe circumstance theimpact has translated intomillions of jobs. The mostimportant job is beingable to hire your own chil-dren thus giving them ajump start to courage andalternatives.
The Native HawaiianIslander women ownedbusinesses has grownabout 216%. The Latinowomen owner has agrowth pattern of 180%.The Asian American andAlaska Native womenbusiness owners hasstretched over the markto 108%. The AfricanAmerican women busi-ness owners has arespectable growth of258%. African Americanwomen business ownersare the majority ownersto one third
(that's 1/3) of all womenowned firms in thenation.
Some companiesowned by women areuntraditional andunthinkable in anothertime.
Let's talk about untradi-tional. Mary Lindsey, is aChicago comedy clubowner in the Bronzenvilleneighborhood. The club isalmost ten(10)years oldand has a reputation ofattracting seasoned andnovice comedy stars tothe stage. Unthinkable,but thinkable in our time .. . are security firmsowned by women.Private detectors who arebold and beautiful.Nannies by the thou-sands. Personal chefs.
Oh, it's a wonderfulworld. And only inAmerica.

O Divine Master,Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.Amen.
