WOLB-7

Today on WOLB 1010 AM with Doni Glover:

Today (Tuesday, March 9th), the question is whether adults are stepping up to the plate on behalf of our youth.


Last week, approximately 700+ young people rallied at Camden Yards for jobs over prisons. They are asking for $100 million. Special guests today include Bryant Muldrew of the Algebra Project, organizers of last week's rally.

The show airs at 10 am on WOLB 1010 AM in Baltimore or you can listen online at www.wolbbaltimore.com. The call-in number is 410.481.1010.

This show is sponsored by the Professional and Continuing Studies Department at Sojourner-Douglass College (www.ed2go.com/sojourner).

TGR: CLOSING SCHOOLS BUILDING JAILS: CAN STOP BLACK JUVENILES FROM SUCCESS!:

The State of Maryland, professes to have the highest rate of college graduates, is the “Hub” for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, yet, the majority of Black people, juveniles, are not being educated in this knowledge based society.

John Ruskin said, “Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.”

Black children in underserved communities need your voice, your outrage, your disgust at this despicable mandate by the leaders of this state. Why are there more Black children in the penal system? Why are there more schools being closed? Where are the schools that are being closed? Why are we tolerating this growth of the Prison Industrial Complex?

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.
