New Details Emerge over Police Fatal Shooting of Elderly Ex-Marine Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr.
Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez has obtained a photograph of White Plains Police Officer Anthony Carelli, the officer alleged to have fired the two shots that killed Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., the 68-year-old former Marine whose medical alert button accidentally summoned police to his apartment last November. The police union has blasted the release of the officer’s name, saying he deserves the right to a fair and impartial inquiry. Chamberlain’s son said he agrees, but notes that the White Plains police failed to grant his father the same opportunity.

Urban League: DC Is Best City for Black Firms
With the national black unemployment rate hovering at 16 percent, it has been tempting for some job seekers to consider hanging up their own shingle. Believe it or not, some small black business owners are thriving in this precarious economy, and it's all about location, location, location.This week the National Urban League Policy Institute released a study ranking the top metro areas that are conducive to black-owned businesses and recommends ways to replicate successes. The top ranking goes to the D.C. metropolitan area, second to Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, while the Chicago metropolitan area tied for third place with the Detroit metropolitan area (go here for complete list).
"We found that cities with strong diversity supplier policies and which allow easy access to business-to-business and government contracts were the best environments for black-owned businesses," Marc H. Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, said in a prepared statement. "Not surprisingly, we also found that of the top areas for black-owned businesses, five included cities where the National Urban League operates Entrepreneurship Centers.

5 Deadly Threats to Our Precious Drinking Water Supply
If you brushed your teeth this morning or flushed the toilet or had a cup of coffee, consider yourself lucky. Actually, if you turned on your tap and potable water freely came out, consider yourself truly blessed.
Because so many of us in the United States are in this situation it can be easy to forget that nearly 900 million other people aren't so lucky. It can be easy to forget that globally we face a frightening water crisis. And it can be hard to notice that even here in the US there are dire threats to our water supply right now.
The people hardest hit by the water crisis are in developing countries -- places it is easy for many world leaders (and the rest of us) to overlook. And even the number of those without clean water -- last tallied at 884 million -- can be hard to grasp. Here's another way of looking at it: if you take that number and translate it into the population of developed countries, the people living in the world today without access to clean drinking water would equal all the people living in the US, Canada, Argentina, Chile, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, England, Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia and Norway.
Like our economic, food, health and climate crises, if you're a person of color and/or poor, you'll be hardest hit. According to the United Nations, if you are a poor person living in a slum you're likely to pay five to 10 times more for water than wealthy people living in the same city. And so too, are women disproportionately affected because they are the ones responsible for getting water each day in most developing countries -- work that often means hours of difficult labor under dangerous conditions.
Rape and Red Tape on the Reservation: Why Native American Women Are Fighting For Plan B
China Vows to Stop Using Executed Prisoners as Main Source for Organ Transplants
While boasting several UN agencies as partners, the World Water Forum is criticized for posing as a multi-stakeholder body. The overarching message of activists protesting the World Water Forum is that there is a need for international policy and multilateral cooperation when it comes to water resources, but a trade show run by water multinationals cannot be the space for these discussions.
You don't have to know anything about the World Water Forum to know something is wonky when a forum that claims to provide solutions for the world's water crisis shuts out vast segments of the public. With a heavy police presence surrounding the Forum, activists attempting to register on the first day were detained before even entering the Forum. There was no apparent reason other than the fact that many were young and not garbed in business attire. Some had slogans like "water is a human right" on their clothes.
The First Amendment right to assemble and protest is going to get a black eye in 2012—as it has every time there has been an upsurge in America’s social justice movements.
Already in city after city, protesters and civil rights lawyers are troubled by proposed and newly enacted anti-protest rules, many of which are likely to be found unconstitutional if they have their day in court. In the meantime mayors, police and in some cases federal agencies are making detailed plans to thwart protests at local and national events.
Thousands rally for US teen Trayvon Martin
Activists are calling for justice in the 17-year-old’s death.
Thousands participated in the "Million Hoodie March" in New York for Trayvon Martin, the US teenager whose death sparked a national uproar.
On Feb. 26, Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain who alleges that Martin was acting suspiciously.
Florida police say there’s no evidence that disproves Zimmerman’s self-defense claim. However, the Justice Department has now opened an investigation into the killing.
Martin was unarmed and wearing a hoodie while walking in his father's gated community, where Zimmerman was on duty.

VideoDrug-resistant "white plague" lurks among rich and poor
Tuberculosis is often seen in the wealthy West as a disease of bygone eras - evoking impoverished 18th or 19th century women and children dying slowly of a disease then commonly known as "consumption" or the "white plague".
But rapidly rising rates of drug-resistant TB in some of the wealthiest cities in the world, as well as across Africa and Asia, are again making history.
London has been dubbed the "tuberculosis capital of Europe", and a startling recent study documenting new cases of so-called "totally drug resistant" TB in India suggests the modern-day tale of this disease could get a lot worse.
"We can't afford this genie to get out of the bag. Because once it has, I don't know how we'll control TB," said Ruth McNerney, an expert on tuberculosis at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
UPDATE 1-New Jersey (no kidding) is among best corruption fighters
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - Despite a well-deservedreputation for scandals, New Jersey is a mong the state leaders

Monday.
Five states received a "B" grade for accountability and

Report: South Carolina government is ripe for corruption
WASHINGTON — Government is ripe for corruption, according to 50-state assessment.South Carolina is among the states most ripe for corruption because of government secrecy, weak ethics enforcement, little disclosure of legislators' finances and low accountability for legislative and executive branch members, according to a nationwide analysis to be released today.
The report gives South Carolina failing grades in nine of 14 key categories, with the state faring especially poorly in public access to information and executive accountability.
Wall Street Keys On Landlord Business
Some of the biggest names on Wall Street are lining up to become landlords to cash-strapped Americans by bidding on pools of foreclosed properties being sold by Fannie Mae.The idea is that the new owners would rent out the homes at first rather than reselling—potentially aiding a housing-market recovery by reducing the number of properties clogging the market. The fact that big-name investors are interested also suggests they anticipate sizable future profits in housing.

Fox to bring back 'In Living Color'
Well, Fox has announced it will revive In Living Color, the sketch comedy series which
became famous in the early 1990s thanks to characters like Damon Wayans' Homey and Jim Carrey's Bill. Keenen Ivory Wayans, the original series' creator, will serve as host and executive producer of the new episodes. And even though the show helped launch the careers of Wayans' own family as well as those of Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier and Carrey, the rest of the cast will be new faces.
Our Unpaid, Extra Shadow Work
THE other night at the supermarket I saw a partner at a downtown law firm working as a grocery checker, scanning bar codes. I’m sure she earns at least $300,000 per year. Even so, she was scanning and bagging her purchases in the self-service checkout line. For those with small orders, this might save time spent waiting in slower lines. Nonetheless, she was performing the unskilled, entry-level jobs of supermarket checker and bagger free of charge.This is “shadow work,” a term coined 30 years ago by the Austrian philosopher and social critic Ivan Illich, in his 1981 book of that title. For Dr. Illich, shadow work was all the unpaid labor — including, for example, housework — done in a wage-based economy.

Black buying power nears $1.1 trillion
Black buying power is expected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2015, according to The State of the African- American Consumer Report, recently released, collaboratively by Nielsen, a leading global provider of insights and analytics into what consumers watch and buy, and the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), a federation of more than 200 Black community newspapers across the U.S.“Too often, companies don't realize the inherent differences of our community, are not aware of the market size impact and have not optimized efforts to develop messages beyond those that coincide with
Black History Month ,” said Cloves Campbell, NNPA chairman. “It is our hope that by collaborating with Nielsen, we'll be able to tell the African-American consumer story in a manner in which businesses will understand,” he said, “and, that this understanding will propel those in the C-Suite to develop stronger, more inclusive strategies thatoptimize their market growth in Black communities, which would be a win-win for all of us.”

Assad predicts disaster if West meddles in Syria
Western powers would cause an "earthquake" in the Middle East if they intervened in Syria, President Bashar al-Assad said in an interview published on Sunday, after protesters demanded outside protection from a crackdown that has killed 3,000 people.Syria, as Assad noted in his interview with Britain's Sunday Telegraph, sits at the heart of the volatile Middle East, where it borders Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan.
"It is the faultline, and if you play with the ground, you will cause an earthquake," he said. "Do you want to see another Afghanistan, or tens of Afghanistans?"
White fruits and vegetables may lower stroke risk
Every 25 grams per day of white fruits and vegetables consumed led to a 9 percent decrease in the risk of stroke, and apples and pears were the most commonly consumed "white fruit," according to the study, published in the November issue of Stroke.
"Green, orange/yellow and red/purple fruits and vegetables weren't related to stroke. However, the risk of stroke incidence was 52 percent lower for people with a high intake of white fruits and vegetables, compared to people with a low intake," said study author Linda M. Oude Greip, a postdoctoral fellow at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

Out With The Old, and In With The Young!
The New 21st Century America
by Miriam G. Aw
Regardless of what you may think about the idea of change, it is being actualized in the 21st Century, whether you like it, or not! And as a result of 'change,' the traditional known phrase of "Out with the Old, and In with the New" which is often associated with the coming of the New Year, is now "Out with the Old, and In with the Young!"
America was hit hard with this bit of fact about 'change' quicker than an elephant sinking in quicksand when the news of our country’s economy in Year 2008 was increasingly spoiling the existence of viable businesses, banks, car dealerships, and so forth, to the point of retarding financial assistance, and/or bankruptcy claims to home owners who were, and still are, losing their homes due to foreclosures.
In addition, common sense practices of saving money for a rainy day was dismissed, and credit cards overturned the sense of practicality into a hoarding impatient country to the point that even excellent credit card holders are now being treated just as poorly as an individual with horrendous credit by attaching increasing fees onto their account. Wow, talk about working hard to keep your credit score in tact. If that is not a kick in the face, I don't know what is at this point!
So, how did this happen?
Frankly put, greed, manipulative home lending practices, deceit, and yes, even the psychological use of “divide and conquer’ racial, and class tactics played major roles in the demise of our country’s economic woes by covertly pitting so-called “middle class” Americans against ‘’poor working class’ American individuals, thus leading the charge that ‘middle class’ individuals can afford to live in a larger square footage home than the average poor working class individual, or family. And it worked, BIG TIME!
However, the joke-of-the-century, which was pulled-off magnificently by manipulative bankers, home loan lenders, to name a couple, received the blessings from the previous White House Administration under former President Bush’s eight years in office, that the so-called middle class populations’ need to be better than those who are unlike them in many, and every way, suffered as a result of this tremendous American hoax!
In fact, BOTH the race AND class cards that were dealt by the powers-that-be, who orchestrated the strings of puppets behind the financial scene had worked so well, millions of American people have literally gone financially broke, became unemployed, have intentionally received poor education, and for the most part, they were not encouraged to further their education to climb the corporate ladder.
In other words, America got screwed without the benefit of a penis!
To add insult to injury, the call to either attend college, or go back to college to further one's education, especially in the fields dealing with health care, education, green jobs, computer technology, and so forth, is not a call for the old, but instead, for the young! And, it is not a call for anyone who decides to attend a private post-secondary educational institution, for example, ITT, which is a school that teaches Information Technology (i.e., computer programming, and the ilk).
The proof of the pudding is in your Sunday newspaper classified ads. Pick a day - any day to buy a newspaper, or go online to seek your [so-called] dream job. Too many of these employers are looking for 1) College degrees, and or 2) Years of related experience, and/or 3) College and years of related experience, and/or 4) State Certification, and/or 5) Licensing, and/or . . . you get the picture. For the average person, who is 40 years of age, or older, who've never attended college, but have worked at a place of business for a numerous amount of years, and have outsourced itself, and has been left to be unemployed, uneducated, and unable to afford to attend college.
And, if through the Grace of God, he or she can attend college, or a privately run post-secondary educational institution to take a stab at the healthcare field, for example, will find a rude awakening at the fact that a myriad of courses in the medical field have been broken down to the bone so much that it will take at least FIVE YEARS to receive a complete sense of getting "whole" education! There are either Certificates, or Diplomas given in: Medical Terminology; Medical Office Assistant; Phlebotomy; Medical Billing; Medical Coder; and the list goes on, and on!
When I attended the same kind of school in the health care field, I received a COMPLETE bundle of ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SUBJECTS/COURSES LISTED ABOVE! Five days a week for six months (600 hours), a thorough education was given, and medical terminology, coding, insurance, billing, vital signs, venipuncture (phlebotomy), CPR, typing, filing, medical records, and other administrative and clinical learning skills, were wholly taught within, and as a complete package! It afforded me to work in hospitals, medical centers/clinics, nursing homes, along with physicians who either head the department, division, and/or the health institution itself, in Endocrinology, Pediatric Nephrology and Immunology, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics, just to name a few.
TODAY?
You have specific learning modules that are offered, particularly, in two-year colleges. There is a Certificate, or Diploma, for this. When you are completed with that program, now you have to take another program. More money. Then there is another program course. More money and time. Then another, and another! Damn, by the time you are able to receive a comprehensive knowledge about, and in the health care field, years and a lot of money would have gone by, along with your age! It is all about money! Pure greed. And this "Educational Rape" has been going on for, at least, the past decade!
The practices of "financial rape" performed by many schools, businesses, banks/credit card suppliers, home loan lenders, health care/life/vehicle insurances, and land-line telephone companies, just to name a few, in America are worse than any male who pimps out a female to earn money for himself by (mis) using, and abusing someone else's goods just to satisfy their own!
Meanwhile, back at the farm, the younger the population gets while tackling the advancing technology in computers at an early age, for example, or starting early in life to pursue a specific career in the health care profession, education, green jobs, etc., the older the individual gets when he, or she, who were taught to believe that their future was solid-as-a-rock, decides to tackle the economic societal ills of attempting to better themselves in an economy that is no longer their own to possess by attending school when in fact, the game is basically over for them.
The truth of the matter is that I am an optimist, and I do not believe in portraying negativity at any time. Anyone who knows me can attest to this. What pisses me off, however, is no one wants to admit there is a problem with today's job market, and the people who are paying the price are the individuals who were bamboozled into believing that their way of thinking, and living, particularly so-called 'middle class' Caucasians, was the American Dream to behold, and that no one else is privy to such a lifestyle.
The irony here is that no one can blame the Mexicans, Blacks, poor Whites, Asians, the Native Americans, or welfare assistance recipients, for the declination of our country's economy because now there are no jobs to blame anyone for taking at the expense of the American people!
Again, the "divide & conquer" practices of race, class, and economic status used to pitt each other against each other played integral roles into America's economic demise performed by "behind-the-scene" power players, who've gained financial wealth, and power as a result of this 'Willie Lynch' methodology on ALL races, classes, despite an individual's economic status! Ain't THAT a bitch!
And much like in the Bible when a group of people had to wander around for 40 years until they all died out, such a prophecy is seemingly taking place today in the early 21st Century for many individuals who refuse to make change . . . thus, "Out with the Old, and In with the Young!"
Too bad such a revelation have not set quite firmly into the minds of the living dead.
