 Earl Ofari Hutchinson The Census Bureau made it official in 2002! Latinos are now the top minority in the U.S. The news hit black America like a thunderbolt. Many blacks complained that they would be shoved even further to the economic and political margin among minorities in the country. The Census report also showed Latinos were widening their population growth gap on blacks.
But, it's not just the numbers. Latinos demand political and social issues no longer be framed solely in black and white. That presents another challenge to black America. At times that challenge has been intensified and conflicted by the wildly divergent agendas of African-Americans and Latinos on immigration, political empowerment, bilingual education, and jobs. These are complex and engaging issues.

 Beverly Mahone Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys
were stolen while he was passed out---well, I want to let you know that
I, too, have been the victim of a horrendous crime!" But I've also
discovered I'm not the only one. There are literally thousands of women
who are being ripped off daily. I've been searching frantically to find
out Who Stole My Body?

 Beverly Mahone “I spent several years as a single parent after my divorce. I knew I
had an important job to do in raising my daughter so I dug deep down
and went back to the “old school” ways of discipline. It was the way I
had been raised and I turned out OK so I figured if it ain’t broke
don’t try to fix it. I had to let my daughter know that although I
loved and supported her, I wasn’t her friend and she was going to have
live by rules as long as she lived in my house. I also wanted her to
see, through me, that no matter what obstacles you may have to face,
you can survive.”

 Pittershawn Palmer Writers from all walks of life are trying to find the secret. They want
to know, how do I become a great writer? How do I create a body of work
that will be remembered long after I am gone? These writers ask the
questions that many have asked through the ages. And still, there are
others who do not long for immortality, but only for their words to be
heard, and they never realize that in wanting that, they will
inevitably create a permanent place for themselves in history.

 Ron Watkins During the 1950s, Liberia boasted the world’s second-fastest-growing
economy. This was not surprising, given its abundance of natural
resources – iron, ore, timber, diamonds, gold and tin – as well as rich
vegetation. Today, after 14 years of civil war, Liberia is one of the
poorest nations in the world, with no running water, electricity,
decent public hospitals or schools. At least 85 per cent of the
country’s three million-strong population are without jobs and most
people are forced to live on less than $1 per day.

Recent research shows Baby Boomers go through nine (9) kinds of sex in their lifetime...
Now that I'm in the peri-menopausal stage and dealing with vaginal
dryness (yes--it's one of the symptoms), I can't help but reflect back
on the various stages of my sex life. You know, the times when it was
so thrilling--you just couldn't get enough! These days my gynecologist
is telling me over time I may lose my desire all together.
Oh Lord! I hope that doesn't happen to me because I'd hate to think I'd wasted the best years of my sex life on my ex!

Permanently resolving our debt situation
involves three things: gaining an awareness of the different types of
debt, understanding the psychology and circumstances that led to the
current situation, and devising an effective debt reduction, savings,
and wealth acquisition plan.
