Many previously incarcer-ated men and women inTexas have tremendous dif-ficulty finding suitableemployment to sustainthemselves and their fami-lies. Unfortunately somereturn to lives of crime,often unable to find livablewage jobs, and lacking theskills required to compete ina society that is increasinglytechnology dependent.
According to the TexasDepartment of CriminalJustice there were 151,988men and women in stateprisons on November 30th,2012. Of these, 53,990 wereAfrican-American, 49,880were Hispanic, 47, 345 were
white and seven hundredand seventy-three wereclassified as "other." A studyreleased recently stated that24.3 percent of the men andwomen released from Texaspenal institutions between2007 and 2010 returned toprison within three years.
The situation that we faceis alarming. It costs tax pay-ers more to maintain aninmate for one year than itdoes to send him or her to astate college for two semes-ters. We have children whoare without parents andgrandparents having to raisetheir grandchildren.
One of the organizationsvigorously fighting tochange the situation we findourselves in is the UrbanLeague of Greater Dallasand North Central Texas.Since 2005 it has serviced929 former inmates with aprogram teaching technicaland social skills designed toprevent them from return-ing to prison. Participantsare also given job placementassistance. Approximately200 people, of all races,complete the program eachyear.
The program, funded witha grant from the U.S.Department of Labor, hasperformed so well that its
recidivism rate is only eightpercent, much lower thanthe state's rate. Participantsare taught job skills, giventransportation assistanceand helped with clothing. Atleast two participants, aftercompleting the program,opened their owned busi-nesses and hired others whowere former inmates.
Under the leadership ofDr. Beverly Mitchell-Brooks,the President and CEO ofthe League, the director ofthe program, Yvonne Young,was invited to the WhiteHouse in April of 2008.There she shared with oth-ers the program's success inDallas.
For some entrepreneursin this country prisons havebecome an industry. Theyare projecting prison growthbased on the failure rates ofsecond and third graders. Asa society we must provethem wrong. We must sup-port programs such as theone run by the UrbanLeague and others.
All men and women whomake mistakes in life shouldnot be stored away andallowed to deteriorate. Wehave to do all we can torestore them, particularlythose who deserve a secondchance.

A longtime educator, Dr.Bell began teaching atDallas ISD’s James MadisonHigh School in the mid-1960s. He moved upthrough the ranks tobecome a campus adminis-trator, principal, deputyassociate superintendent ofpersonnel development,assistant superintendent ofelementary instruction, spe-cial assistant to the generalsuperintendent and associ-ate superintendent ofAlternative Programs, hisfinal position before retiringin 2005.
At the request of commu-nity members, the DallasISD Board of trustees hon-ored the memory of thededicated educator with thenaming of the Dr. H.B. BellSchool Support ServiceCenter in June 2012.
A highlight of his careerwas serving as executivedirector for the Yvonne A.Ewell Townview Center, amagnet center housing sixindividual magnet schools,which represented a majorpiece of the district’s court-ordered desegregation plan.
BE KIND! Never speak harsh words. Be kind and gentlewith your tongue. For it has been said that the tongue canbe like a sword. Think long before you criticize your neigh-bor. Your tongue can be nasty. Living is one of the mostbeautiful things in the world. But the tongue can kill!

1. Acknowledge that youhave been seriously hurt.
The starting point for pursu-ing forgiveness is to admit thatyou've really been hurt. We liketo pretend like what he saiddidn't really bother us or whatshe did didn't even phase us,but until we are willing to admitthat we were hurt by them,we're not in a place where wecan begin to pursue forgive-ness.
There are many incidents inlife that are not candidates forforgiveness - things like minordisappointments or passingslights. Situations that requireforgiveness are ones where thepain inflicted is personal, unfair,and deep. Things like betrayaland brutality (physical or emo-tional) come to mind.
At this point, as we hurt, weare likely to find some hatred inour heart. Hatred, of course, isnever a good thing, but wemust be careful that we don'ttry to get rid of it by covering it
up. When we find that hate inour heart, that's simply a signwe're going to need to forgive.
2. Surrender your right toget even.
Few would dispute our rightto get even. The rule of theworld is 'do unto others asthey've done unto you.'
When we choose to forgive,though, we choose to lay asideour right to extract ourrevenge. In the moment ofmaking that decision, we aredoing a couple of things: 1. Weare leaving ultimate justice andvengeance to God, and 2. Weare deliberately choosing forourselves the path of forgive-ness.
This is the first step down adifferent path.
Acknowledging that we havebeen hurt gets in the rightplace to begin, but surrender-ing our right to get even is thefirst step down the path.
Some would argue thatchoosing such a path isinevitably going to make us apatsy - we're yielding all ourpower and are going to end upas a doormat. I believe, though,that there is a power that isunleashed in this decision thatcannot come from any othersource. Ask yourself, ‘whatdoes this power look like?’
3. Search for the real person
beneath the evil mask.When we have been
wronged, we like to caricatureour wrongdoer. We emphasizeall the bad things about them,we twist anything that looksremotely good, we are quick toaccuse their every motive, wesee them only and always inone way.
The process of forgivenessrequires that we begin to lookfor the real person behind thecaricature we've created in ourminds. We begin to see thatthey have not only hurt, theyhave been hurt. We begin tosee that they are weak, needy,and fallible. We begin to findreasons for our hearts to turntoward mercy instead of mal-ice.
This doesn't mean we grantthem victim status and excuseall their wrong - we're forgiving,not excusing. It does mean thatwe begin to try to treat them asanother participant in thismessy thing called life.
What is our motivation fordoing this? As our passagepoints out, we are doing forthem what God did for us. Godcould have simply seen our sinand said, "I've seen enough,that's all I need to know aboutthem." But God looked beyondour sin and saw somethingworth loving. And that's what
we've been called to do as well.4. Desire that good things
would happen to your wrong-doer.
I know that sounds impossi-ble when you first hear it, butstay with me for a minute.
In the process of forgiveness,we move from dreaming of badthings befalling them towardhoping for good things in theirlife.
What is our motivation fordoing such a difficult thing?Again, as our text points out,we are doing for them whatGod did for us.
5. If possible, enjoy thehealed relationship.
Sometimes the other personcan't join you in moving towardreconciliation (for example, inforgiving a parent now passedon) and sometimes the otherperson won't join you (forexample, someone who won'tacknowledge that they've hurtyou).
For reconciliation to happen,they must understand the painthat they've caused you andmust be sorrowful over it.
But when they are, makesure you enjoy the healing andthe renewed relationship thatcan only come through forgive-ness.

HOROSCOPES January 31 - February 6
Psalm 33 opens with anadmonition of praise - "Rejoicein the LORD, O ye righteous: forpraise is comely for theupright" (v. 1). Although thewriter is anonymous, that factalone does not take away theflavor of this majestic psalm. Inverses 1-3, the psalmist sum-mons us to praise the Lordbecause it is fitting to do so.Praise is what the righteous willdo and will do it spontaneously.
Listen to the psalmist as hepraises the Lord in Psalm 146:1-2 - "Praise ye the Lord. Praisethe Lord, O my soul. While I livewill I praise the Lord: I will singpraises unto my God while Ihave any being." Also in Psalm135:1-3, the psalmist encour-ages us to praise the name ofthe Lord - "Praise ye the Lord.Praise ye the name of the Lord;praise Him, O ye servants of theLord. Ye that stand in thehouse of the Lord, in the courtsof the house of our God, Praisethe Lord, for the Lord is good:sing praises unto His name; forit is pleasant."
The psalmist calls on us topraise the Lord because of theLord's word and works aretrustworthy and reliable - "For
the word of the LORD is right;and all his works are done intruth" (v.4). The Lord is right-eous and demonstrates His loveas revealed further in verse 5.In verses 6-9, the power ofGod's word is demonstrated inthat creation was brought intoexistence by it. Verse 6 tells us- "By the word of the LORDwere the heavens made; and allthe host of them by the breathof His mouth."
Moreover, God's word is sopowerful until it frustrates theplans of wicked nations - "TheLORD bringeth the counsel ofthe heathen to nought: Hemaketh the devices of the peo-ple of none effect. The counselof the LORD standeth for ever,the thoughts of His heart to all
generations" (vs. 10-11).Because of His awesome wordand works, God should bepraised!
In verses 12-19, the psalmistrejoices over the fact that theLord providentially governs andwill bring ultimate victory to Hispeople - "Behold, the eye of theLORD is upon them that fearHim, upon them that hope inHis mercy; To deliver their soulfrom death, and to keep themalive in famine." (vs. 18-19).
The psalmist concludes thispsalm of praise in verses 20-22by rejoicing in the Lord whowas the object of his hope -"Let thy mercy, O LORD, beupon us, according as we hopein thee" (v. 22).
May God Bless!

From a Biblical Perspective: How Do I Forgive Him? How Do I Forgive Her?
Bro. Waydell Nixon
By George E. CurryNNPA Columnist
When Barack Obama accept-ed his party’s presidential nom-ination in Denver on August 28,2008 – the 45th anniversary ofthe March on Washingtonwhere Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. delivered his “I Have aDream Speech” – excitementfilled the air.
Amid that jubilance, howev-er, it struck me as odd thatObama failed to mention Dr.King by name.
“.. And it is that promise that,45 years ago today, broughtAmericans from every corner ofthis land to stand together on aMall in Washington, beforeLincoln’s Memorial, and hear ayoung preacher from Georgiaspeak of his dream,” Obamasaid at the time.
Seconds later, he would add:“’We cannot walk alone,’” thepreacher cried. And as we walk,we must make the pledge thatwe shall always march ahead.We cannot turn back.”
When Obama was inaugu-rated for the second time onJanuary 21, 2013, the day weofficially celebrated as the Kingfederal holiday, I knew – orthought I knew – that PresidentObama would not make that
same omission again.I listened carefully as he said:
“We the people declare todaythat the most evident of truththat all of us are created equal– is the star that guides us still;just as it guided our forebearsthrough Seneca Falls and Selmaand Stonewall; just as it guidedall those men and women, sungand unsung, who left footprintsalong this great mall, to hear apreacher say that we cannotwalk alone; to hear a King pro-claim that our individual free-dom is inextricably bound tothe freedom of every soul onEarth.”
Why couldn’t PresidentObama utter Dr. King’s name onthe day he used the slain civilrights leader’s Bible to besworn in? On King’s birthday,why couldn’t he be called morethan just a preacher?
Even though Beyoncé lip-synced the National Anthem onInauguration Day, she hasn’tbeen accused of faking it whenshe sings another song – “SayMy Name.”
If you ain’t running a game
Say my name, say my name
The problem is larger thanthe failure to say Dr. King’sname. The problem, accordingto Michael Eric Dyson, is that,“This president runs from racelike a Black man runs from acop.”
When candidate Obama wasforced to address the issue ofrace in the wake of controver-sial remarks by Rev. JeremiahWright, his former pastor, hesaid in Philadelphia: “But race isan issue that I believe thisnation cannot afford to ignoreright now.”
However, that’s exactly whathe has been doing.
Frederick C. Harris, directorof the Institute for Research inAfrican-American Studies atColumbia University, noted, “…as president, Mr. Obama hashad little to say on concernsspecific to blacks. His State ofthe Union address in 2011 wasthe first by any president since1948 to not mention poverty orthe poor. The political scientistDaniel Q. Gillion found that Mr.Obama, in his first two years inoffice, talked about race lessthan any Democratic presidenthad since 1961. From racialprofiling to mass incarcerationto affirmative action, his com-ments have been sparse andhalting.”
Sure, he had a beer summitat the White House withHarvard professor Henry LouisGates, Jr. and the White policeofficer who arrested him in hisown home. Obama said theofficer had “acted stupidly,” butlater softened his criticism. Thepresident also said, “If I had ason, he’d look like Trayvon[Martin].”
Of course, the issue is notwhether Obama has a son wholooks like Trayvon Martin. Whatis he going to do about peoplewho are treated like Trayvon?
To discuss race less thanLyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carterand Bill Clinton, all Whitesoutherners who grew upunder segregation, should beembarrassing to PresidentObama. It should be even moreof an embarrassment thatObama hasn’t taken leadershipon the issue as Bill Clinton didwhen he launched his “OneAmerica Initiative” on race.Putting aside the merits of theinitiative, it demonstrated
Clinton was willing to confrontthe issue of race.
As my friend CourtlandMilloy wrote in the WashingtonPost, it’s time to stop makingexcuses for Obama.
He said, “Obama should notbe allowed to get away withthinking that when it comes tomaking his mark on the issue ofrace, all he had to do wasbecome the first black presi-dent.”
Unfortunately, some of themost vocal Black leaders haveeither been co-opted by theWhite House or fear a backlashfrom adoring Black voters.
The usually outspoken Rep.Maxine Waters [D-Calif.] told acrowd in Detroit, “If we go afterthe president too hard, you’regoing after us.”
And former CongressionalBlack Caucus ChairmanEmanuel Cleaver, II of Missouriadmitted, “With 14 percent[black] unemployment if wehad a white president we’d bemarching around the WhiteHouse.”
If we don’t get some trueleadership on this issue, per-haps it will be time to marcharound the White House,Congress and the headquartersof some of our civil rightsorganizations.

priced out of health insurancebecause of tobacco penalties inPresident Barack Obama's healthcare law, according to expertswho are just now teasing out thepotential impact of a little-notedprovision in the massive legisla-tion.

For a 55-year old smoker, the penaltycould reach nearly $4,250 a year.Younger smokers could becharged lower penalties underrules proposed last fall by theObama administration.

It was the whoops thatgot him. It happened in SaltLake City during a 2011American MotorcyclistAssociation (AMA)Supercross race. That’swhere they truck 700 tonsof earth into a big sportsarena, then build a twisting,turning, undulating trackand let loose 20-somethingdirt-bike riders to see whocan get around it the fastest.And James “Bubba” Stewartwas certainly the fastestthat night. That is, until hehit the whoops.
Stewart was way out infront as he approachedwhat dirt-bikers call the“whoops” — 10 closelyspaced speed bumps thatriders bounce over atspeeds of up to 50 miles perhour. He had just fallen com-ing around a corner, buthe’d leaped back onto hisbike and gunned its 450-ccengine, sending him barrel-ing into the whoops.
Turns out he mistimed hisapproach. The bike caught
the edge of a speed bumpand lurched, throwingStewart over the handlebarand sending the bike flip-ping over him, just missinghis head. Again, Stewart gotback on the bike. But bythen he was too far behind.He’d lost the race. And yet,he’d gun that engine againtoday.
“It’s not like I want tocrash,” Stewart says, speak-ing from his 100-acre cen-tral-Florida training com-pound where he spent allwinter preparing for the2013 -Supercross seasonafter recovering from acrash-related injury for mostof the fall. “But I do a lot ofstuff on a motorcycle thatno one else does. I’m differ-ent than other ridersbecause I always have thementality that I can do any-thing on the racetrack.”
Stewart is different thanother riders in a lot of ways.For one thing, he has oftenbeen dominant on the track.He was undefeated in 2008
and is now third in all-timewins, with a shot at the topspot before his career isover. For another thing,Stewart is one of the richestriders ever. He has earned asmuch as $10 million in a sin-gle year, mostly throughsponsors and endorse-ments. And then there’s his,well, race. Stewart is a blackman in a sport where almostall the other competitorsare, and always have been,white.
But the thing that trulysets Stewart apart is hisspeed. He’s considered bymany to be the fastest manever to race on two wheels.And although at 27, he likelyhas only a few years left in asport where riders rarelycompete into their 30s,Stewart has a chance to fin-ish his career as the mostaccomplished motorcycleracer ever. That is, if he cankeep the crashes to a mini-mum.

Word on the Street
Mrs. Maria Fernandez Mr. Jose Pescador
Ms. Ashley Green
I expect President Obama tohelp out with college fundingand to visit Eastfield againsoon.
I think the most importantthing Obama should do is toget the immigration statussituated for everyone in theU.S. He needs to get theeconomy to become thesame as before. Also, to pro-vide more jobs and moreopportunities.
I want him to focus on guncontrol so our schools can besafe. He needs to make it eas-ier for people to own andkeep their homes. Also, helpimmigrants who have lived inthe U.S. a long time to beable to stay here and becomecitizens. And to continue towork on having health carefor everyone.
Mr. Lewis Flanagan III
In this term, I hope to see thePresident lead without worry.I’d like to see more directionand less diplomacy. He gavethe right their chance, nowit’s up to him to bring the willof “The People” to fruition.
Ms. LaPorsia Brooks
Over the next four years, I
pray that Obama continues
to bring unemployment
down create new jobs, and
have better health care sys-
tems.
Mr. Victor Cathey
Great things, including pro-viding more opportunities forkids to go to college.
Mr. Matt Brannon
President Obama should domore to help people over-come poverty. He should tryto bridge the gap betweenthe different parties. Heshould also work for morehealth care reform.
