Young Voters Support Obama Across Party and Racial Lines
Jonathan M. Tisch
College of Citizenship and
Public Service, Medford,
MA – Now that the dust
has settled from a record
turnout of young voters,
new research reveals young
Americans voted for
Obama across party and
racial lines, but youth with
no college experience were
underrepresented at the
polls, according to Tisch
College’s Center for
Information and Research
on Civic Learning and
Engagement (CIRCLE) at
Tufts University.
An estimated 23 million
young Americans under
the age of 30 voted in the
2008 presidential election,
3.4 million more voters as
compared to the 2004.
CIRCLE estimated youth
voter turnout rose to
between 52 percent and 53
percent, an increase of four
to five percentage points.
Compared to 2000, the
increase in youth turnout is
at least 11 percentage
points. This year’s youth
turnout rivals or exceeds
the youth turnout rate of 52
percent in 1992, a high year
for youth voter turnout. A
complete breakdown of the
youth vote can be found at
www.civicyouth.org.
“At this critical moment in
our nation, and as we make
the transition into a new
administration, we must
continue to encourage and
motivate all young people
to get involved in politics,
government and their com-
munity,” said CIRCLE
Director Peter Levine.
“We must continue to
engage our nation’s youth
and expand civic opportu-
nities for young
Americans.”

The Black Press believes that

al in much larger propor-
tions than the electorate as
a whole.
Unfortunately, young voter
turnout remains skewed
towards those with more
formal education. For
instance, while just 57 per-
cent of U.S. citizens under
30 have ever attended col-
lege, 70 percent of all
young voters had gone to
college. The same dispro-
portion can be seen when
looking at those without a
high school diploma.
While youth with no high
school diploma make up 14
percent of the general
youth population, only six
percent of young voters in
2008 had no high school
diploma.
One of the most striking
characteristics of this elec-
tion was young people’s
united support for Barack
Obama, regardless of their
political affiliations.
Thirty-three percent of
young white voters self-
identified as “Democrat,”
and yet, 54 percent voted

said he, too, was surprised
at the remarks of Sen.
Ford. “It is obvious that
the senator is still stinging

said. He added that what’s

seen with African
Americans and Latinos,
where a large number of
youth self-identified as
Republicans yet voted for
Barack Obama, signifying
youth support for Obama
seemed to cross racial and
partisan lines.
And as expected, young
African American voters
overwhelmingly supported
the Democratic Party and

problems with Holder’s nomination. Holder is his first
cabinet pick and Obama wants to make sure that the pick
will be hailed as a good one. The last thing he needs is a
bitter, partisan, and contentious scuffle over Holder.
Holder’s legal credentials, administrative experience, and
accomplishments are impeccable. As Clinton’s Deputy
Eric Holder
Attorney General, he got high marks for initiating commu-
nity outreach programs to address domestic violence, hate
crimes and child abuse, devising standards for criminal
prosecution of corporations, and handling civil health care
matters. He’s also touted for encouraging greater diversity
and more pro bono work by attorneys. Holder drew loud
cheers from civil libertarians when he told the American
Constitutional Society in a speech earlier this year that he
would restore the “rule of law” to the Justice Department;
meaning that he’d reverse the worst civil liberties abuses
by Bush’s Justice Department in the terrorism war.
Yet Holder’s sterling credentials are one thing, but politics
is another. A political appointment to a top spot is gener-
ally a pro forma affair; it may be anything but that with
Holder.
The immediate cause for some worry is Holder’s role in
Clinton’s pardon of outlaw financier Mark Rich in 2001.
Holder reportedly green lighted the pardon, but soon
regretted it. He says he never would have said anything
favorable about Rich if he had known the full details of the
case. Prosecutors, the GOP and even Democrats pounded
Clinton for the pardon. But Holder’s input on Rich was
only one factor in Clinton’s decision to pardon Rich, and it
was ultimately Clinton’s call.
That probably alone won’t assure a smooth sail for Holder
through the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Holder
nomination gives a badly mauled GOP a chance to show
that it still has some fight in it and that it will not simply
be a rubber stamp for Obama. Some conservatives indeed
have said that picking a fight over some of Obama’s top
picks might be a good way to show the troops that the
party can regain some of its political footing.
The Rich issue is not the only skeleton that the GOP
could attempt to rattle in Holder’s closet to get that foot-
ing. One is the claim that Holder routinely cleared
Clinton’s brother Roger of any wrongdoing when he lob-
bied brother Bill to grant pardons for a drug trafficker and
other high level crime figures. This charge will also go
nowhere. Clinton did not grant the pardons. And Holder
did not solely make the call absolving Roger Clinton of
wrongdoing in the pardon cases. Top FBI officials and
then independent Counsel Robert Ray also said that
Clinton did not do anything illegal.
Another possible hit point is Holder’s lobbying on behalf
of telecom giant Global Crossing after the company went
belly up in 2002. Global Crossing incurred millions in
debt. Back in June, the Republican National Committee
first brought this up and claimed it would push to make it
a campaign issue. The RNC didn’t say just what the issue
was. It didn’t matter. The charge also went nowhere.
Then there is the Elian Gonzalez case. In 1999 Cuban
leaders in Florida were furious at Clinton Attorney
General Janet Reno for enforcing a court order requiring
that the six year-old Gonzalez be removed from his rela-
tives' home in Miami's Little Havana and returned to
Cuba. As Deputy Attorney General, Holder took some
heat for enforcing the court order.
The same year Holder drew more fire for his role in
approving the clemency request for 16 members of the rad-
ical Puerto Rican independence group FALN convicted of
a string of terrorist bombings and murders. The FBI,
Bureau of Prisons and U.S. state attorneys opposed
clemency for the 16. Holder refused to comment on what
part he played in the clemency action.
Silence on the part of government officials is always taken
as a sign by politically driven inquistors that an official has
something to hide or is trying to dodge culpability for their
actions when things go wrong. The FALN clemency issue
could prove to be even more an irritant for Holder than the
Rich case. In June, the RNC tried to stir up the pot on the
FALN issue when it issued a press release urging the
FALN clemency be made a campaign issue. There were no
bites and the issue quickly died.
Then Holder was not an elected official, held no govern-
ment office, and was only one of several top advisors to
Obama. The talk of him being Obama’s pick as attorney
general was just that, talk. However, he now is Obama’s
pick and a GOP thirsting for anyone to target to make
trouble for Obama may just see Holder as that target.

Barackonomics
– Are You
Cashing In?
By James Clingman
NNPA
Blackonomics
There was Reaganomics in the 1980s, and some of us had
the Reaganomic Blues during that time. Old Ronnie ush-
ered in a period of economic empowerment, for some, that
is still remembered, by some, as the best ever.
To this day, the “Conservatives” are making every attempt
to reincarnate the Great Communicator, by holding
séances otherwise known as political debates, like the one
we saw held at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley,
California, during the Republican primary. Those folks
love themselves some Ronald Reagan – and they loved
Reagonomics.
Now we have Barackonomics. No, we have not seen the
result of Obama’s economic policies yet, but the current
environment is rife with excitement, anticipation, and
“hope” for the “change” millions voted to see. We will soon
find out what the big picture holds, but even prior to the
election, Obamania ushered in a new language, a new zeal
for politics, and a new economic arrangement for Black
folks, the likes of which I have never seen.
Always watching for the economic advantages available
to Black people, during the campaign I saw hordes of
brothers and sisters making money. Although it was
reported that the lion’s share of the $650 million or so
raised by the campaign flowed into the dominant media
outlets, Black owned media receiving very few of those
party favors, some of our more enterprising Black entre-
preneurs managed to hitch a ride on the Obama gravy
train.
I attended one of the Obama rallies held at the University
of Cincinnati, during which I saw Black vendors – as mat-
ter of fact, I saw only Black vendors selling everything
from Obama Action Figures, to Obama Bobble-Head
Dolls, to glow-in-the-dark thingamabobs, to placards, but-
tons, glasses, cups, banners, and T-shirts of all designs and
themes. Barack should have copyrighted his name and
image.
My old friend and world renowned painter, Gilbert
Young, called me to announce his latest creation: a paint-
ing of Barack Obama that Obama himself signed and
endorsed. The painting is titled, “History + Hope =
Change” (www.historyhopechange.com). Now you know
there will be bushels of money made from that painting.
And, as they say, “It’s all good!”
I can’t recall seeing Black vendors selling Reagan items,
or those of the other 42 Presidents for that matter; no, not
even Clinton and Kennedy. (I wonder if Gilbert Young
did a painting of Reagan; just kidding, Gilbert.) So I was
encouraged to see so many Black folks cashing in on
Barackonomics, at least as long as the phenomenon lasts.
It’s about time.
It’s good to see Black folks finally getting in on the eco-
nomic side of politics, especially the folks at the bottom of
the heap. Yes, big business got its share, as it always does;
the television companies and their affiliates, newspapers,
radio stations, and the major marketing and advertising
firms received a windfall from the Obama campaign.
But, finally, thousands and maybe even millions of broth-
ers and sisters got in on the act as well. My advice is for
them to stay with Barackonomics as long as they can.
Come up with new ideas, new products, and new services
to sell.
The ICE Supreme Man(www.icesupreme.com), Ashiki
Taylor, in Atlanta, has created a new flavor “Obama
Medley;” Farley’s Coffee (www.farleyscoffeeinc.com)
Executives, Raymond Wilford and Ricky Tillman have
developed an Obama “Hero’s” Blend. I am sure there are
hundreds of other enterprising Black folks across the
country who are making money via Barackonomics, and I
see no problem with that.
I do see a problem with Black folks just settling for the
moment, however. We had better get a good understand-
ing of the fact that economics runs politics, and this time is
no different from all the other presidential elections when
it comes to economics.
Let’s not merely live for the moment and then go back to
sleep in the next couple of months. Let’s take the small les-
sons of Barackonomics and do big things with them. Let’s
support one another with the knowledge that there is
enough, more than enough, to go around.
Don’t back off now; raise the bar even higher. Be creative
and innovative; devise new entrepreneurial ventures and
strategies to capitalize on Barackonomics. You can’t pay
your bills with hope, history, or hysteria. Emotional invest-
ments do not pay dividends.
Euphoria is not bankable. Inspiration that is not followed
by perspiration - taking some action, doing some work -
will be as fleeting as a shooting star. If we don’t turn, “Yes
we can!” into, “Yes we did!” beyond the election, beyond
the inauguration, and beyond the parties, then shame on
us.
Allow your inspiration to catapult you to collective eco-
nomic empowerment by establishing equity funds, barter-
ing groups, urban gardens, food cooperatives, rotating
credit associations, small business associations, coopera-
tive purchasing programs, youth entrepreneurial training
programs, and all of the entities we need to survive and
thrive in this dire economic environment.
If we do these things, and more, we will have justified our
emotional euphoric response to Barack Obama being the
44th President of the Untied States.
If we fail to do these things, we will miss out on the eco-
nomic benefits that always find their way to the “special
interests.” Aren’t we special? Don’t we have our own
interests?
You had better believe the “big guys” will capitalize on
their investment in Barack Obama. Question is: “Will we?”
Let’s understand that part of the “change” we voted for is
grounded in economics, at least I “hope” it was. And let’s
commit that the “change” we receive will be much more
than mere “chump change.”

Who
Asked
Me?
by Beverly Gadson-Birch
It Pays to Educate
The older I get the more of my aptitude I lose. I can
remember back in the day, my Trigonometry teacher
didn’t have any problems with me, no siree. It only
took me a few seconds and I could rattle off the results
of the ratio of the Sine, Cosine and Tangent. If you ask
a kid today what is a Tangent, he might ask you are you
talking about a “tantrum”. In Chemistry, I could mix
up almost anything in the lab without blowing it up. I
remember carving a human body out of plywood for a
science project and running tubes through the body to
show how blood flows to and from the heart. I actual-
ly used an aquarium motor to pump the food colored
water through the tubes that served as the arteries.
And, if I had to recite a poem, just give me a couple of
days and I would have it down pat. Now-a-day, I am
having trouble remembering where I put my eyeglass-
es.
If you are a part of the baby boomer era then you can
relate to how important education was to you.
Education was exciting and challenging. The more
information you received the more curious you became.
As I reflect back to how little we had to work with in
the classroom and how excited students were to learn, I
can’t help but think about the correlation between
knowledge and success.. There must be a certain
excitement to learn in order to spark that thirst for
knowledge. Even by today’s standards, students who
should have been in some type of special education
class were not tagged as such and did quite well in the
end. I know because I run into some of those students
that I went to school with who are gainfully employed
and have their own business. So, why are we having the
problems that we are having with students that have
just dropped out of the process both physically and
mentally. How did our schools get to the point where
students think it is vogue to carry cell phones to school?
Why do we allow our children to leave home with every
part of their young bodies exposed showing off their
tattoos and piercings? Why do we spend more on our
children’s clothes than on their education? Why do our
children know more about Bow Wow, Jay-Z and Lil
Kim than they know about Drew, Artistotle or
Einstein? Whatever happened to washing mouths out
with soap if you were caught lying or using profanity
(more of a scare tactic)? Why aren’t dress codes for stu-
dents enforced? Why are teachers and principals no
longer placed on a pedestal and regarded for their pro-
fessionalism as they once were? What happened to the
fear children once had of punishment? Perhaps, we
can thank DSS for watering down our children’ fear of
punishment.
If you have not reviewed the highly publicized
DVD that was released last week by the news media,
you need to see it. If you don’t think the problems with
our young people are getting out of control, just contin-
ue to sit home and do nothing. Don’t cry when they
start selling their wares on your doorsteps. When chil-
dren glorify the criminal elements of our society and
make a mockery of the system, you can expect society
to deteriorate without intervention.
There is a big divide in this country between the
haves and the have nots, between races and between
classes. This generation will not sit idly by and wait for
their ship to come in; instead, they are going out in the
waters to meet it. They don’t have the patience that
their parents had. They want immediate gratification.
Young people do not see education as the way out. They
have watched some of their counterparts go off to col-
lege, get their master’s degree and are still unable to
find jobs paying over $30,000. In order to become suc-
cessful, our children have to leave home for larger cities
and more lucrative jobs. This is another way of
destroying families. Oftentimes, children just aren’t
ready mentally for the separation.
There are two sets of rules that divide this coun-
try. If you are black, you are born into a system that
refuses to let the past die. You are looked upon as infe-
rior. And if you are white, you are just right. It is evi-
dent that blacks will never be afforded the same rights
and privileges as whites in this country. Sure, I know
a few of y’all think you have made it; but, you really
haven’t. Take the blinders off. You own nothing. It is
time to get involved before the drug dealers set up shop
on your doorsteps.
The system has targeted black males for failure.
Prisons are being built in anticipation of the large num-
ber of young black males they take in each year.
Prisons are big business. It is virtually impossible for
black males who fall behind on their child support pay-
ments for whatever reason to ever get out of that
vicious system. How can a man pay child support if he
is locked up in jail? How can a man take care of his
family if he has a record? Do you see where I am head-
ed with this?
The gangster DVD points to all that is wrong in
our society. Television has glamorized sex drugs and
violence over shows that educate. Drugs and crimes are
being portrayed as lavish lifestyles and it is the lifestyle
that our children find so attractive
We have got to spend more quality time with
our children. Now, y’all can’t wait until your children
are grown to establish rules and restrictions because
they are not going to listen to you. Stop trying to be
their friend and be their parent. I can’t say enough
about discipline. If you fail to discipline your children,
the prisons will. It is better that you have the say so in
how your children are disciplined than to leave it up to
others.
It is morally reprehensible to think that man
would rather rehabilitate than educate. I say we get
more bucks for the bang when we educate.

“Real” Affluent Housewives
Disturbed by Reality Show
By Corilyn Shropshire,
Houston Chronicle
Watching The Real
Housewives of Atlanta,
you might think it’s easy to
get wealthy African-
Americans to talk about
money.
Concluding its maiden sea-
son on Bravo tonight, the
reality program chronicles
the conspicuous consump-
tion of five well-off women
who have ordained them-
selves among Atlanta’s
elite. Four of the
Housewives are African-
American.
But the show has hit a raw
nerve within the black
community — lighting up
the Internet and the air-
waves with charges that it
perpetuates negative
stereotypes with its focus
on catfighting women who
shamelessly lord their
wealth and generally mis-
behave. A particular sore
point is the consistently
egregious grammar the
Housewives stars use.
Houstonian Phyllis
Williams, well-known for
her philanthropic work,
recalled flipping channels
on her television on
Election Night — from the
historic speech of
President-Elect Barack
Obama to a Real
Housewives episode in
which two wealthy women
learn to let loose on a strip-
per pole.
“I was appalled,” she said.
“This is not what elite
women are about.”
The women on the show,
she said, are shallow,
graceless and mean.
“They eat and breathe
money and clothing,”
Williams said. In one
episode, queen of mean
Sheree Whitfield drops
$6,000 on a private shoe-
shopping spree in her liv-
ing room; in another, Kim
Zolciak, the show’s only
white cast member, calls
her sugar daddy “Big
Poppa” to request $68,000
cash so she can buy a
Cadillac Escalade on the
spot.
Despite — or perhaps
because of — the furor sur-
rounding the show, few
Houston women were will-
ing to talk about it with the
Chronicle. When a apartment on Park Avenue
reporter struck out to get a
peek into what life is really
like for the city’s black
elite, she was met with
polite no-thank-yous and
snarky voicemails but
mostly unreturned phone
calls.
Merele Yarborough,
another prominent woman
in charitable fund-raising
circles who has been fea-
tured on the Chronicle’s
annual Best Dressed list,
politely declined to throw
open her closet doors for
public inspection. She
found what she saw on
Housewives troubling and
hopes it reflects the slant of
the producers.
“I was disappointed by the
way these characters were
portrayed,” she said. “I’m
praying they are not like
that. They are like children
in a candy store. They’ve
been given all this money.
It’s almost like the blind
leading the blind.”
Money is a touchy subject
for most people, but for
some affluent African-
Americans there’s an added
layer of self-consciousness
about how the black com-
munity is portrayed. They
worry that too much bling
reinforces the public’s
worst perceptions.
“I’m just hoping that most
people don’t look at this
show and think that every
wealthy black woman is
like this,” said Williams.
Like their old-money coun-
terparts in the Anglo com-
munity, the black elite are
quiet about their wealth
and would rather die than
parade themselves showing
off “ridiculous homes that
resemble Potemkin vil-
lages,” said Lawrence Otis
Graham, author of Our
Kind of People: Inside
America’s Black Upper
Class.
He labeled The Real
Housewives as the “P.
Diddy crowd,” who are
“here-today-and-gone-
tomorrow money.”
The black upper class, he
said, doesn’t want the likes
of them living in their
neighborhoods, going to
school with their kids and
certainly not marrying into
their ranks.
“These are not people who
value education and true
philanthropy,” said
Graham, who lives with his
wife and children in an
in Manhattan and on an
estate in Chappaqua, near
the home of former
President Bill and Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“We don’t know people like
them.”
Like the women on the
show, Williams admits to a
love for fine clothes, exclu-
sive vacations and fabulous
handbags. She even plans
to launch her own line of
women’s golf clothing next
year.
But there’s more to life
than shopping and parties,
she said.
Williams said she prefers
to be known for her work

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A

man convicted of killing
and beheading his then-
girlfriend's 3-year-old
daughter and dumping her
body in the woods was sen-
tenced Thursday to life in
prison without the possi-
bility of parole.

Before being sentenced,

Harrell Johnson again stat-
ed that he is innocent of
the 2001 murder of Erica
Green. The girl's remains
went unidentified for four
years after they were
found, during which time
she was referred to by the
community and in the news
media as "Precious Doe."

"Never once have I harmed

a hair on her head or did
anything to hurt her,"
Johnson told the court.
"God knows my little angel
- Erica - knows the truth.
And I ain't gonna stop
fighting until I prove my
innocence and the truth is
brought to the light."

Johnson, 29, was convicted

last month of first-degree
murder, endangering the
welfare of a child and
abuse of a child.

Erica's mother, Michelle

Johnson, testified at
Harrell Johnson's trial that
he was high on drugs and
kicked Erica in the head
because the girl wouldn't
go to bed. She said she and
Johnson didn't seek med-
ical help for Erica for fear
of going to jail on out-
standing warrants in other
cases.

Prosecutors said Johnson

decapitated the girl's body
and dumped it in woods.

Michelle Johnson, 33, who

married Harrell Johnson
after the slaying, was sen-
tenced last month to 25
years in prison for the mur-
der.

Prosecutors did not seek

the death penalty, partly
because Johnson agreed to
withdraw his request to
have the case moved out of
Kansas City.

The only sentence Jackson

County Circuit Judge John
Torrence could hand
Harrell Johnson for the
murder charge was life in
prison without the possi-
bility of parole. He sen-
tenced Johnson to four
years for the endangerment
and 25 years for the abuse.
The sentences will run con-
secutively.

Johnson will appeal the

conviction, said one of his
lawyers, Kent Hall. He
declined to comment fur-
ther on the case.

ST. LOUIS - A man who

spent 23 years in prison for
a rape he didn't commit
sued St. Louis County and
the officers who arrested
him, saying investigators
ignored inconsistencies in
the victim's description.

Johnny Briscoe, now 54,

was freed in 2006 after
DNA evidence exonerated
him. He filed suit earlier
this month in U.S. District
Court in St. Louis. The
suit claims his constitu-
tional rights were violated
and seeks unspecified dam-
ages.

"The prime of his life was

lost," Briscoe's attorney,
Burt Newman, said
Tuesday. "When he went
into prison he was raising
two young children. When
he got out he had grand-
children."

Spokesmen for St. Louis

County and the county
police declined to com-
ment.

The crime occurred in

October 1982, in the sub-
urb of Maryland Heights.
A man burglarized a
woman's apartment and
raped her when she awoke.
He talked to her a while
and gave his name as John
Briscoe. The woman later
picked Briscoe's picture
out of a lineup.

But the lawsuit pointed to

several inconsistencies.
The victim described the
attacker as dark-skinned,
about 5-foot-8, with normal
teeth and a mustache.
Briscoe is a light-skinned
black man and 6-2, and had
a gold-capped front tooth
and a goatee.

Even so, Briscoe was con-

victed by an all-white jury.
He said his defense attor-
ney never met with him.

When the case was

reopened, DNA on a ciga-
rette butt at the rape scene
was found to belong to
Larry Smith, an acquain-
tance of Briscoe's who is
serving a life term for
another sexual assault.

Under state law, Briscoe

was eligible for up to
$36,500 in compensation
for each year he was
wrongly incarcerated, or
more than $800,000, but
he would have had to agree
not to sue. Newman said
the compensation falls
short and Briscoe is confi-
dent he can win in court.

"Let me put it this way: If

you walked up to someone
on the street and asked
them to go to prison for
$36,000 a year, you would-
n't get many takers,"
Newman said.

When Briscoe was released

in 2006, Prosecutor
Robert McCulloch called
the conviction a "terrible
mistake." He said the
wrong was made worse by
years of delay in finding the
cigarette evidence in stor-
age after McCulloch
requested a review in 2000.

Newman said Briscoe con-

tinues to try to get his life
back in order, but often
struggles to find work.

"He has an incredible atti-

tude," Newman said. "The
man is not bitter at all
about what has happened.
It's an inspiration to listen
to him talk."

and Nutritional Advisor

The change of the seasons

alone is enough to cause
some people to overeat,
especially those in cold cli-
mates. Combine this with
the stress of the economy,
the holidays, and an abun-
dance of seasonal foods -
and the temptation can
become very overwhelming
for some.

So how can you short-cir-

cuit that temptation and
still enjoy yourself? Here
are 5 easy, practical and
realistic tips to use:
1) Don’t Starve Yourself
The number-one rule to
avoid holiday overeating is
to make sure you eat
enough. This is not the
time to start restricting
calories to the point where
you’re so hungry...even the
foods you “hate to eat”
starts to look good. The
key is to eat small meals or
snacks frequently through-
out the day. This way, you
won’t ever really feel hun-
gry, and you’ll be able to
resist all those grains and
high-sugar foods that will
sabotage your healthy diet.
Fill up on all the nutritious
foods, like healthy meats,
vegetables, coconut or
some berries that you want
so that you won’t feel that
you’re missing out.
2) Buy a New Outfit
This tip can work for
Ladies and Gents!
Whether you decide to
indulge in a new blouse,
dress or a special shirt and
tie, the point is to purchase
something that you are
really looking forward to
wearing and that you feel
good about. When you feel
good about yourself on the
outside, it will help you to
respect yourself from the
inside and you’ll be less
inclined to keep reaching
for the “better than sex”
cake.

3) Get Some Fresh Air

A simple, quick walk out-
side will not only give you a
quick burst of energy, it
will also take your mind off
of food. By the time you
come back inside, you’ll
feel refreshed and your
food cravings will likely be
diminished. Taking a walk
after dinner is especially
helpful because moving
around will help your meal
to digest and reduce your
chance of becoming slug-
gish or tired.
4) Deal With Your
Emotions
Many of your food cravings
have nothing to do with
physical cravings and are
actually emotionally based.
You may associate certain
holiday foods with the
comfort of your childhood
and be tempted to overeat
them to try and regain that
sense of comfort. Or, the
stress of the holidays may
be behind your overeating.
Instead opt to get involved
in a fun board game with
friends or relatives. Or you
can relax in a recliner and
sip on some organic hot
apple cider and let the
stress melt away!

5) Remember: Its Just

Another Meal
Focus on being grateful for
life itself and you’ll quickly
see that family and friends
are at the center. This out-
look will take the focus off
of food.

Sean
Levert
May Have
Survived
Other
Ohio Jails
Special to the NNPA from
the Houston Forward
Times

(NNPA) - The Cleveland

Plain Dealer is reporting
that Sean Levert's death in
Ohio's Cuyahoga County
jail in March may have
been avoided had he been
incarcerated in either of
Ohio's two other major
urban-county jails.
Officials at the Franklin
and Hamilton county jails
said their facilities have
policies that would not
have denied the R&B
singer his doctor-pre-
scribed anxiety medica-
tion, as staff at the
Cuyahoga County Jail did
during what became the

Sean Levert
last six days of life.
A county coroner's report
concluded that Levert's
withdrawal symptoms from
the drug Xanax con-
tributed to the complica-
tions that stopped his heart
on March 30. Levert was
waiting for a doctor's eval-
uation to decide if he
should be allowed the med-
icine. The visit was sched-
uled for April 8.
''If he had been in our jail
and Xanax was on the for-
mulary - if it was a stan-
dard-issue drug - he would
have seen a doctor who
would prescribe it,'' said
Mark Barrett, chief deputy
for jail administration in
the Franklin County
Sheriff's Office.
