Colorado Movie Theater Massacre

(AP) — A potential exodus of star athletes. No hope of playing in the postseason. More than a decadeof accomplishments erased from the record books. And Joe Paterno's legacy in shreds.

Penn State football, a longtime powerhouse that was once one of the cleanest, most admired pro-grams in college sports, escaped the so-called death penalty from the NCAA on Monday but was dealta heavy blow that will cripple it for years to come.

The university agreed to an unprecedented $60 million fine, a four-year ban from postseason playand a cut in the number of football scholarships it can award — the price it will pay for having lookedthe other way while Jerry Sandusky brought boys onto campus and molested them.

The NCAA also erased 14 years of victories, wiping out 111 of Paterno's wins and stripping him of hisstanding as the most successful coach in the history of big-time college football.

"Football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people,"NCAA President Mark Emmert declared.

Penn State meekly accepted its punishment, pledging to hold itself to high standards of honesty andintegrity.

The shooting, at the midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” killed at least 12 and injureddozens more.

1. Close YourWindows

It may seem counterin-tuitive, but on hot sum-mer days, opening thewindows will often makeyour home warmer, notcooler. Open your win-dows only at night if theair outside is cooler thaninside, and close them -along with blinds andshades - before the sunhits your house in themorning. When nightfalls, open windowswide, particularly thoseoriented toward prevail-ing winds so you can takeadvantage of cross venti-lation. This will allow coolnight air to circulate, andprevent a good deal ofthe sun's heat fromreaching indoors. You

may also put houseplants- particularly larger pot-ted trees - in front ofsunny windows to absorbsome of the sun's energy.

2. Use FansStrategically

The fact is, many peo-ple don't know how touse fans effectively. Hereare three ways fans canhelp:

Ceiling fans can createa pleasant breeze to coola room significantly. Besure that you have thefan running in the rightdirection since ceilingfans can also be used inwinter to create anupdraft: in the summer,you should feel thebreeze blowing down.And remember, ceiling

fans cool people, notrooms, so turn it offwhen you leave theroom. If you're buyingnew ceiling fans, makesure you buy Energy Starceiling fans that use 50%less energy than compa-rable models - a choicethat will pay off in thelong run, as you canappreciate the longeryou keep your fan run-ning.

Stand-alone fansplaced directly in front ofyou, it's no surprise, helpkeep you cool. Add in aspritz bottle and you candramatically change yourtemperature; as thewater evaporates offyour skin, your bodysheds heat.

Dallas ISD Superintendent Miles and Board Trustees work to improve“trust factor” among students at recent retreat. The bottom line was rela-tionship building led by a representative from the Texas Association ofSchool Boards.

The Dallas Independent School District agreed with the federal depart-ment ‘s Office of Civil Rights. The office requires the district to provide train-ing and ensure that no future educational programs exclude students basedon gender , according to a representative from the federal agency. The recent“Red Tails” trip for boys only prompted the decision.

HOROSCOPES July 25 - August 2

Many of us lack therest we need or desirebecause we worryabout our situationsentirely too much.When this happens, westay up too late, tossand turn in our beds atnight, and wring ourhands in worry. But thisis not what God wouldhave us to do. If you are

constantly worrying toomuch about your situa-tion, then you are nottrusting in God. TheBible says in the book ofHebrews, "God's prom-ise of entering His reststill stands, so we oughtto tremble with fearthat some of you mightfail to experience it"(Hebrews 4:1; NIV).What does this mean?This simply means thatif you do not trust inGod, you will fail toexperience God's per-fect rest.

Therefore, if webelieve in Christ, weshould have no fear andfind our peaceful rest in

Him. When we are ableto rest in Christ, weallow Him to be ourprovider. When weworry too much, thenwe do not believe thatGod will provide for us.In a sense, we are push-ing Him out of the pic-ture because we are try-ing to do the work forHim. Avoid doing this.

The book of Hebrewsalso says, "For we whichhave believed do enterinto rest, as he said"(Hebrews 4:3; NKJV).You must believe in Godand that He will meetyour needs. He is able toprovide all that youneed. However, you

have to believe in Him.You have to have faith inHim. You have to trustin Him.

Can you trust in Godtoday? Are you able toget from behind thesteering wheel andallow Him to drive thecar? If you believe inHim, then you need tobegin to trust in Him. Iknow this can be diffi-cult to do. People mayhave failed you in thepast, but God will neverfail you. So, if you wantto sleep better, begingiving your worries toGod. Can you do thistoday? I know I can.Amen? Amen.

A Little Bit of Faith: Be Restful

Psalm 14 may be clas-sified as a lament psalm.This psalm is parallel toPsalm 12 in which thewickedness of mankindis described. In Psalm12 David was lamentingover the fact that thegodless were really incontrol. In Psalm 12also we recognized thatutter corruption andevil prevailed. The god-less was really in controland David felt that onlya few of the godlyremained (Psalm 12:1).However, David becamefirm in his confidencethat God will protect Hisown from the oppres-sive behavior of thewicked (Psalm 12:5).

In Psalm 14:1-3, the

psalmist discloses thewicked doctrine andbehavior of the fool.The word "fool" canrefer to anyone who ismorally insane. Thefundamental doctrineof a fool is revealed inthe opening statementof verse 1, which says -"The fool hath said in hisheart, There is no God."The fool or insane one,is an atheist. Despitevivid evidence from nat-ural creation, the foolrefutes that revelationand advances thedogma that "there is noGod." How morallyinsensitive and abom-inable can one be.Because of his grossdoctrine, the behaviorof this impious person isbrought out. The latterpart of verse 1 says -"They are corrupt, theyhave done abominable

works, there is nonethat doeth good." Inother words, the beliefof this morally insensi-tive and depraved per-son has affected hisbehavior. One's beliefreally does affect hisbehavior.

The state of corruptmankind was so vileuntil there was nonethat was seeking God(vs. 2-3). From Romans3:10-12, to prove theuniversal depravity ofmankind, Paul quotedverses 2-3 of Psalm 14.

It makes no differencewhere a depraved per-son lives, if his thinkingis corrupt, his behaviorwill also be corrupt. Thebehavior of an impiouscan only be evil and vile,for verse 3 says - "Theyare all gone aside, theyare all together becomefilthy: there is none that

doeth good, no, notone." Since this personis morally corrupt andevil, the only help forhim is to turn in faith tothe Lord Jesus. Turningto the Lord in salvationis the only cure for thelost condition of thisperson (Acts 4:12;Romans 10:9-10).

Although the wickedmay inflict trouble uponthe poor, God will pun-ish the wicked for perse-cuting His own (vs. 4-6).They may inflict troubleupon the poor, but Godwill defend His own, forthe Lord is their protec-tor (v. 6). Assured thatthe Lord will deliver Hisown, the psalmistlooked forward to thetime when the Lord willestablish His Kingdomand usher in great joy toHis people (vs. 7).

May God Bless!

Talk about joiningtogether as a communi-ty - the city of DallasDeputy Mayor Pro-TemTennell Atkins 3rd rankin charge, partners withNational RecordingArtist Dooney "Da

Priest" and Oak CliffCommunity's SouthwestCenter Mall to break theworld record of linedancing by joining over17, 000 people into onearea at one time. Theevent to take place on

Saturday August 4, 2012at 7:24pm outside theSouthwest Center Malllocated at 3662 WestCamp Wisdom Road,Dallas Texas 75237. Thisall started with the cre-ative skills of a Stellar

and Dove NominatingArtist Dooney "DaPriest" who is known forhis national controver-sial published songsthat brings media,politicians and commu-nities together.

Jesus' Words fromJohn 14:1-6: "Do not letyour hearts be troubled.Trust in God; trust also inme. In my Father's houseare many rooms; if itwere not so, I wouldhave told you. I am goingthere to prepare a placefor you. And if I go andprepare a place for you, Iwill come back and takeyou to be with me thatyou also may be where Iam. You know the way tothe place where I amgoing." Thomas said tohim, "Lord, we don'tknow where you aregoing, so how can weknow the way?" Jesusanswered, "I am the wayand the truth and thelife. No one comes to theFather except through

me."Death is always an

interruption. It nevercomes at a convenienttime. We know it isinevitable. Just not now!Sometimes, we deny italtogether. We convinceourselves, even thoughwe know better, thatsome how we will avoidhaving to deal withdeath this time. That isall wishful thinking. Andwe know it!

Even when we know itis close, as with an agedand infirmed loved one,death still has a way ofsneaking up on us. Onemore day, one more con-versation-then we willbe ready, but just notyet! Death always comesthat way.

It was that way forJesus' disciples. He hadbeen preparing them forwhat was to come formonths. More and more,he had warned themthat the end was near.

Maybe they didn't hear.Maybe they didn't wantto. Finally, the last hourwas upon them. Thesewere among Jesus' lastwords to them. Thesewords about life anddeath were among hisgreatest gifts to themand us!

"Let not your hearts betroubled," Jesus says.We all understand the"heart" as a figure ofspeech unlike the littleboy. The kindergartenteacher was quizzing theclass about the parts ofthe body. "Now, Johnny,where is your heart?"she asked. Johnny point-ed to his bottom. "Whydo you think that is yourheart?" the teacherasked curiously. Johnnyquickly replied, "BecauseGrandma always pats methere and says, "Blessyour little heart."

Heart refers to the seatof the emotions, ourinner self, or even the

center of the will. Wespeak of "a sinkingheart," "a broken heart,"or "a heavy heart" andwe know exactly whatwe are talking about.The term for troubled lit-erally meant "stirredup." The same word wasused in John 5:7 to speakof water that had beenagitated. The same emo-tional term was used ofJesus in 13:21 whereJohn says, "Jesus wastroubled in spirit." At thegraveside of a friend,Jesus was "moved inspirit and deeply trou-bled" (11:33). Whenspeaking of his impend-ing death in 12:27, Jesussaid, "Now my heart istroubled."

Politicians wives areinvolved in the campaignsof their husbands to get outthe vote in November.

Elder Bush 41st Presidentand Bush 43rd Presidentwill not be attending theGOP convention in Tampa,Florida. Bush 43 have kept arather low profile since leav-ing office and wishes toavoid a flurry of politicking.Bush 41 will not attend forhealth reasons. YoungerGeorge P. Bush will attendand carry on the family tra-dition.

At last count 12 peoplewere killed and 70 wound-ed when a deranged gun-man walked into a theater inAurora, Colorado dressed inall black, wearing a helmet ,body armor and a gas maskand began shooting at ran-dom. The movie that wasbeing shown was The DarkKnight Rises. At first themovie goers thought it wasa stunt and part of the film.He then threw gas canistersthat filled the packed audi-torium with smoke andchaos began . The assailantwalked the aisles and beganpicking off people as theytried to flee.He then openedfire as people ran screamingand began diving for cover.After everything was over12 people lay dead and up

to 70 wounded.

The Federal governmentis holding hearings to pre-vent the State of Texas fromdisenfranchising thousandsof ederly, poor and minorityvoters by introducing thePhoto ID law. The case seemto be headed for theSupreme Court could affectthousands of voters. Thiscould become an issue inthe presidential race. This iswhy the voters act of 1965 issorely needed.

Al principio, losaficionados al cine penséque era un truco y una partede la película. A contin-uación, lanzaron bombas degas que llenaban el audito-rio repleto de humo y elcaos comenzó.

Let the games began. Ilove the Olympics. AndLondon is truly a fascinat-ing city with its ownpoetry in motion whenthe Olympics is not intown. Now all sprucedup for a world stage pre-mier, the British haveannounced they areindeed ready for the2012 Summer OlympicGames. They have built amain Olympic Stadium, avillage for the athletesand centers for swim-ming and cycling. It isestimated that 4 billionpeople around the worldwill watch the openingon television and remainfor the main events July27th through August1 2 t h .Seventy(70,000)thou-sand volunteers havebeen trained to help dur-ing the games. Security.Always a major concern.An invasion of 3,500troops were planted tobe on hand for thegames, but after a secu-rity breach, 1,200 morewere summoned to jointhe command.

The United States willappear in 25 sports by520 talented proud

Americans. Look forAfrican American athlet-ics to be a part of othergames outside the normtrack and field. There isnumber one ranked DarylHomer in fencing. On thevolleyball scene are fiveAfrican Americanwomen. That's half thebounce. Oh, definitelylook for 17 year old sen-sational swimmer LiaNeal, who is the secondAfrican American femaleto make the team ever.The women's gymnasticteam has two dynamicAfrican American gym-nasts. We have an impa-tient waiting audience forthe soccer matches.Look for Freddy Adu, aneloquent player, who isdestined to dazzle hisworld viewers. Both themen and women basket-ball teams will tip overand promise to break theviewership scale.Remember BrittanyGriner from Baylor Bears,Waco, Texas. On thewomen's side, she joinsan all star cast of nota-bles in the game.

The games in Londonare not without their crit-ics. The resident ofLondon are distraughtand disgruntled aboutthe "Olympic Lanes"installed to move thetraffic to the gamesabove ground. But anamazingly fact is thatLondon has an elaborateenvious subway system."The Tube" is fast, con-venient and runs beneaththe whole London area.This subway system was

begun in 1863 and hasbeen steadily extendedand improved. London isthe capital of the UnitedKingdom of Great Britainand Northern Ireland. Itranks as one of theworld's largest metropol-itan cities, largest city inEurope with about 8 mil-lion people and a popularQueen.

Animals are allowed atthe games. The 'top dog'in London is the LabradorRetrievers. The 'top cat'the British Shorthairs.Lloyd's of London, world-wide the industry's oldestand most respectedinsurance company wasfirst set up to insure shipsagainst disaster and tohandle shipping prob-lems for one of thebusiest ports in theworld. They have stoodthe test of time to arrivearound the world as theinsurance of choice for allthe best merchandise.London has been thehome of great literatureand drama, Shakespeareand Sherlock Holmes.While studying music incollege, London at onetime had five major sym-phony orchestras per-forming.

Piccadilly Circus is boththe fashionable shoppingcenter by day and the gayevening entertainmentarea. Welcome . . . toLondon. Most refreshingwill be the opportunity tosee credible responsibletelevision at work.

My Day: Welcome to London

Articles throughout The Dallas Post Tribune reflect the views oftheir authors, and not necessarily those of this publication.

Responding to thedisproportionate risksthat African Americanchildren face in motorvehicle-related crashes,Cincinnati Children'sHospital Medical Centerand Toyota are dou-bling the reach of theirgroundbreaking safetyeducation programBuckle Up for Life.Buckle Up for Life is theonly national programof its kind.

Research analyzed byCincinnati Children's - anational leader in pedi-atric and adolescentmedicine - shows thatAfrican American chil-dren are more likelythan most other chil-dren to die in motorvehicle crashes. Studiesalso show that, due tomultiple factors, AfricanAmerican children aresignificantly less likelythan non-AfricanAmerican children to bebuckled up in seat beltsor car seats. (Studiesshow similar outcomesamong children in theHispanic community.)

Key Facts •Motor vehicle crash-

es are the leading causeof injury-related deathfor African Americanchildren through age14.i

•In crashes involvingfatalities in childrenunder 14, seat belt useis lower among AfricanAmericans than amongall other race or ethnicgroups.ii

•52% of AfricanAmerican children infatal crashes were unre-strained. iii

•Three out of every 4car seats are not usedor installed correctly(across race and ethnicgroups)iv.

•The number of chil-dren buckled up nearlytripled among familieswho participated in oneof Buckle Up for Life'spilot cities.v

Expansion Doublesthe Reach of Buckle Upfor Life

The new locations forBuckle Up for Lifeinclude Houston, LasVegas, Philadelphia andOrange County, CA.They join programsalready in place withlocal hospital partnersin Chicago, Cincinnati,Los Angeles and SanAntonio. The program'sexpansion to Las Vegasis being conducted inconjunction withChildren's Hospital ofNevada at UMC and inHouston with TexasChildren's Hospital.Hospital partners inPhiladelphia andOrange County will beannounced soon.

"Years ago, a motherwho was involved in acar crash in which herchild died said some-thing to me that to thisday haunts me but alsoinspires me, 'If I onlyknew,'" said Dr. VictorGarcia, founding direc-

Rakia Reynolds,owner of Skai BlueMedia, a boutique com-munications agency,has launched a newdivision in response to agrowing client base offashion designers.

Reynolds has openedSkai Blue Show, a fash-ion designer showroomat 109 South 13thStreet, which featuresoriginal fashions fromdesigners such asChinoo Designs, Duke &Winston, Lobo Mau andStrangefruit.

Reynolds brought in ateam of industry profes-sionals who focused oncreating an environ-ment that wouldexpose their clients’ tal-ents to buyers, mediaand fashion retailers.The showroom, whichopened in May, offersan array of trendy fash-ions, hand craftedaccessories and originalprints.

Skai Blue Mediaassists its fashion clien-tele by helping themcreate look books,develop digital, socialmedia and public rela-tions strategies, pricingstructures for theirwares, and gettingthem placed in bou-tiques that suit theirrespective brands.

“My strategy is moreon boutiques than thebigger stores,” saysReynolds, who isPhilly360’s fashion

ambassador.She said she’s noticed

that many designers areunder the misconcep-tion that they shouldonly be focused onbeing placed in largedepartment stores likeMacy’s, Barney’s orNeiman Marcus.

“That’s such a crash-and-burn strategy. Youneed to be able spreadyourself out to a ton ofboutiques and makerelationships with themoms and pops —because they are thepeople that are going tohelp sustain you,”Reynolds said, notingthat completion istough for floor space inmajor departmentstores.

After realizing thatsome of Skai BlueMedia’s fashion clientswere struggling to sus-tain their business,Reynolds expanded thecompany’s offerings toassist with their busi-ness strategies.

“We need to be moreof a concierge service.We just can’t be a typi-cal PR firm and get youplacement. We need tomake sure that you arein stores and that you’reconstantly selling. Youhave to have a steadystream of sales to sur-vive in this business,”says Reynolds, who hasa bachelor’s degree ininternational businessand marketing fromTemple University.

Reynolds foundedSkai Blue Media withthe intension of focus-ing on Philadelphia’sarts, design, fashion

and culture scene.Skai Blue Media cur-

rently represents 18public relations and 12fashion design clients.

Patricia Stewart ofChinoo Designs, a fash-ion line for plus-sizedwomen, has been aclient for the last threeyears.

‘They’re like my leftand right hand. Thingsthat I can’t get done, Iknow that they can,”Stewart said of SkaiBlue Media’s team.

“They’ve been defi-nitely active in gettingboutiques to recognizemy line because it’s aplus size. I think there isa need for it.”

Stewart developedher line because sherealized that there wasa dearth of trendy, sexyclothing for curvywomen. She wanted tooffer women somethingother than boxy,unfashionable clothing.

“I think I’ve found myniche in the industry,”said Stewart.

She appreciates theconcept of having morevisibility for her clothingline through the newshowroom.

“Having the show-room gives me theopportunity to knowthat my designs aregoing to be shown tomore buyers than mejust trying to do itmyself,” said Stewart.

Fashion PR Firm Helps Designers Succeed

By Charlene CrowellNNPA Columnist

For the second con-secutive month, one ofthe nation’s largestbanks has agreed to amulti-million dollar set-tlement of mortgagediscrimination com-plaints. According to theU.S. Department ofJustice (DOJ), WellsFargo Bank will paymore than $175 millionto resolve unfair lendingclaims against African-American and Latinomortgage borrowersfrom 2004 through2009. It is the second-largest fair lending set-tlement in the depart-ment’s history.

According to DOJ,$125 million will go toborrowers of color whowere charged more forloans they got throughmortgage brokers. Fourthousand borrowers willbe compensated forbeing steered into sub-prime loans with higherrates and fees instead ofreceiving prime loansfor which they werequalified. An additional30,000 borrowers willbe compensated forhigher costs they paidon their broker-originat-ed loans. The JusticeDepartment is nowinvestigating similarcomplaints from con-sumers whose “retail”mortgages were origi-nated by Wells Fargoloan officers during theaffected years.

The remaining $50million from the settle-

ment will be used fordown payment assis-tance in hard-hit com-munities across thecountry where DOJidentified large numbersof discrimination vic-tims. These marketsinclude Chicago-N a p e r v i l l e - J o l i e t ,Cleveland, New York-New Jersey,Philadelphia, SanF ra n c i s c o - O a k l a n d -Fremont andWashington, D.C.

By its own accounts,Wells Fargo has $1.3 tril-lion in assets, and servesone in three householdsin America through its9,000 locations, 12,000ATMs and 270,000 teammembers.

DOJ’s investigationinto Wells Fargo’s lend-ing practices began in2009. A parallel investi-gation by the Office ofthe Comptroller of theCurrency (OCC) exam-ined lending practices inthe metro areas ofBaltimore andWashington D.C. OCCfound that there wasreason to believe thatWells Fargo engaged ina pattern of discrimina-tion in violation of fed-eral laws.

The DOJ investigationdetermined that WellsFargo knowinglyallowed its loan officersand mortgage brokersto subjectively varyinterest rates and fees.The investigationshowed that Wells Fargosystematically usedthese exceptions toover-charge Black andLatino borrowers while

White borrowers withsimilar credit profilespaid less.

For example, in 2007 aLatino borrower in theMiami area seeking a$300,000 mortgage paidon average $2,538 morethan a similarly qualifiedWhite applicant. A simi-larly situated African-American borrower inMiami would becharged an even higher“racial surtax” of$3,657.

Last month and in aseparate action, WellsFargo reached a settle-ment involving lendingdiscrimination withMemphis and ShelbyCounty, Tenn. In thataction, both the city andcounty governmentsreceived a $7.5 millionsettlement, but no bor-rowers were compen-sated.

About the same timelast month, DOJ reacheda $21 million settlementof discriminatoryactions by SunTrustBank. And lest anyonethink these lendingpractices are isolatedcases, consider the Bankof America settlementfollowing its acquisitionof Countrywide, or thesmaller banks that set-tled discriminatory lend-ing cases in Detroit andSt. Louis.

Borrowers whobelieve they may havebeen victims of discrim-inatory lending byWells Fargo may con-tact DOJ at:w e l l s f a r g o . s e t t l e -ment@usdoj.gov.
