PoEditorial: Live A Lil!!!!! by DChase
We’ve stop dreaming. Yes, “It is what it is.” However, the 64 million dollar question is “Does it have to be?”
See it! Plan it! Become It!
Let your imagination run wild. Escape the gravity of your own self image and learn to become something new. Love the discomfort! Break in your new perspective like a brand new pair or shoes. Show them off and wear them often.
Be careful! You just might like it!
Be careless! You deserve it!
There is something that I like to call, “A calculated error.” The definition is self explanatory, however, I will expound. When we calculate, we measure, compute, analyze, estimate, gauge, determine, reckon, evaluate and assess a particular thing.
By definition, an error can be considered a blunder, boo-boo, slip up, and/or fault. I argue that most of our so called “mistakes” have not been mistakes at all.
We merely pre-assess the consequences of decision and measure ability to be restored from the result.
We take ownership of our mistake, but refuse to take complete ownership of our lives. This is your life. This is not a dress rehearsal. Don’t be afraid to live a little.
As a matter of fact, “Immortality is closer than we think!”
I AINT SCARED!
R U?
Love,
D. Chase

TGR: Guest Editorial: Heroes Will Emerge! By Armstrong Williams:
The continuing embarrassing situation became a desperate matter for Ms. Gallo in the Rhode Island public school system. The shameless teachers and administrators boasted an average salary of $72,000 - $78,000 a year in a town where the average salary was only $22,000.Thankfully, Ms. Gallo became fed up and demanded that student results become a priority for these hypocritical and selfish teachers and demanded six changes that she knew would turn around the unaccountability of that school. These changes included: Being subjected to new standards of professional evaluations, adding 25 minutes to the work day, meeting with other professionals weekly for planning sessions, eating lunch with students one day a week, a two-week training session in the summer, and tutoring, occasionally: All of which I am shocked were not a priority and demanded from these teachers in the first place.

CMS or what?:
Recently, I've had several conversations with clients on the benefits of moving their web sites to a web content management system or CMS. I currently use Wordpress for my web site, but I have also used Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine, and Simple Updates. For a list and description of some popular CMS software go to CMS Critic, this by no means lists every system, but it does a good overview of many systems. I am a big fan of open-source CMS, but as long as you use one, it will be a good step in the right direction. Read in Full >>

TGR: Walk to Cure Diabetes by Lakrisha White:
My son, Jay, has been living with type 1 diabetes for a little over a year now. He's managing his diabetes with an insulin pump. Last fall he met with Senator Mikulski as part of JDRF's Promise to Remember Me Campaign. The campaign consists of coordinated meetings where children and teen diabetics are able to share their personal stories face-to-face with members of Congress so lawmakers can hear first hand about living with type 1 diabetes. The meetings ensure that research funding continues to be expanded and the needs of those with diabetes are included in legislation. Read in Full >>
TGR: Will Leronia Josey Make County History?:
Baltimore County Councilman Ken Oliver could have his hands full this election season - that is, if Ms. Josey decides to put her bid in for his seat. While Oliver is the first black to serve on the County Council, a loss to Josey would make her the first black woman to serve on the Baltimore County Council - a crew that consists mostly of white males. Move over, guys!
A black president; a possible black governor; seems only logical to me.

You are spot on. I have had many discussions with a few of my sistahs in the past. It's amazing that we sometimes down play our power, our worth to avoid seeming to be the "successful one" though such has been earned through hard work and long hours of comtemplation....wow perhaps most of us will feel free in 2009 to bare the "S" on our chest and past on to the next generation the spirit of those whose backs we continue to build upon. Thanks for the reminder of our worst habit...not living the life we have worked so hard to build.
