Grim Sleeper Serial Killer May Have 8 More Victims



Los Angeles police investigators say eight more women may be linked to the "Grim Sleeper" serial killings of women and girls shot or strangled since 1985.

A county grand jury last month indicted 58-year-old Lonnie Franklin Jr. (pictured) for 10 killings in South Los Angeles. Victims ranged in age from 14 to 36.

The Police Department says in a news release Tuesday that detectives are now focusing on eight women known to have had a connection with Franklin. Six of the women are missing persons, one is an unsolved homicide victim and the eighth is an unidentified woman.

Common Signs of a Financial Scam

Common Signs of a Financial Scam

A tragic financial story involving an elderly widow recently had a lot of people shaking their heads -- yet it had all the red flags and signs of a financial scam.

It turns out the woman, a senior citizen named Mary Kubalak of Pembroke Pines, Florida, sent $370,000 to a con artist in Jamaica who lured her with promises that she'd won the lottery, but needed to pay certain fees in order to collect a supposed $7 million lottery jackpot.

Unfortunately, this unsuspecting retiree isn't alone in falling victim to such scams.
At a single agency in West Palm Beach, Florida, officials at the Aging Resource Center say they're processing 400 new cases of financial fraud like this every month -- all of which are some variation of the Jamaican lottery scam.

From credit-related scams and bogus work-from-home schemes to dubious scholarship programs and shady investment offers, there are dozens of financial scams that could all take their toll on your pocketbook - and peace of mind. At their worst, major con jobs - like foreclosure rescue scams - can even cause you to lose a major asset, like your house.

Many common financial scams are cleverly disguised as special offers or infomercials, but many are also easy to detect when you know what red flags and warnings signs to look out for.

Unfortunately, many people fall for these types of financial scams when they are already in a vulnerable position. Losing a job, maxing out credit cards or finding yourself in need of fast cash could make you a good target for a costly financial scam.

Here are some of the most common red flags of financial scams and fraud:

Upfront Fees for Services

Many credit repair companies and even scholarship providers require customers to pay a hefty fee to take advantage of the services available. Sometimes these are posed as "membership" fees that provide you with exclusive access to their resources, while others are just standard fees for service. If you have to pay any type of fee in order to receive services, you could be signing up for a bona fide scam.

Misleading "Pre-Approval" Claims

These are among the most common financial scams because many people who need cash fast are ready to sign up for that "you've been approved for $X!" offer. Pre-approval offers from credit card companies and loan providers can seem innocent enough, until you call the number or submit the application and find out you are actually eligible for a very high-interest rate and a much smaller line of credit than advertised. Many legitimate companies do use low-rate teasers to attract new customers, but many are very misleading. Be very careful about what types of offers you sign up for and submit your personal information, such as a Social Security number and income history to.

Guaranteed Results!

Companies trying to earn your trust and confidence may promise guaranteed results within a certain time period or an incredible money-back-guarantee offer. Be wary of these types of offers because many are, unfortunately, a scam. Companies know that many people feel more confident when they are purchasing something backed by a guarantee, and a lot of people simply don't follow up to voice a complaint and get their money back.

In some cases, the money back process is so complicated that it's not even worth your time to get a refund. Honest businesses don't need to offer such extreme guarantees on services and products. They should be able to provide solid testimonials from happy customers and have a clean track record.

Negative Reviews Online

Whenever you come across a company announcing an outrageous offer that seems incredibly irresistible, do a quick online search to see if they have been reported to sites like RipOffReport.com or even the Better Business Bureau. Many of today's savvy consumers are posting reviews and experiences with these companies online, and you can learn more about the company's history and track record with a few minutes of Internet searching.

Take some time to do a quick "background check" on the company or deal to see if it's actually a scam.

Above all, use your gut instincts. Don't be rushed into any so-called "limited time offer" deal, and don't sign anything if it sounds too good to be true.

Why IS Red Lobster so Popular with Black Diners?

Filed under:

From The Atlanta Post: Why is Red Lobster so popular, particularly among African Americans?

The chain - a key brand of multi-chain operator Darden Restaurants, which serves 400 million meals each year and has $7 billion in annual sales - consistently ranks high in national restaurant surveys. Industry analysts chalk up Red Lobster's success to good management and fine-tuned marketing campaigns such as the "Lobsterfest" promo. Darden's spokesman ties company success to a message point on how Darden focuses on the total "guest experience," adding, "We nurture a relationship with all of our guests," not just African Americans.

All of the above might be true. But there could well be a simpler reason for the chain's popularity among black people: eating at Red Lobster may be the next best thing to attending a fish fry.

Are black diners helpless in the face of anything fried? Is that Red Lobster's winning strategy? Find out at The Atlanta Post

Obama 2012: Going Beyond 'Hope' and 'Change'

Filed under: , , ,



In the midst of two-and-a-half wars, a prolonged recession and a possible government shutdown, Barack Obama officially kicked off his re-election campaign on Monday. It wasn't the most auspicious moment, and the low-key video the president sent in an e-mail to his supporters was a far cry from that dramatic announcement speech in Springfield, Illinois, in February 2007, when the upstart candidate invoked the idealism of Lincoln to begin his unlikely journey to the White House.

Obama's video featured interviews with his grassroots supporters, who formed the remarkable core of his 2008 campaign, but have not exactly been a top priority for the White House since. "Politics is at the grassroots level," says Katherine in Colorado. "It's individuals talking to other individuals and making a difference." Yet the video didn't really emphasize the actual practice of grassroots organizing, such a big part of Obama '08, and the words hope or change were not even mentioned. Those days, it seems, are over. The Democrats' message in 2010 was: "We're not as bad as those other guys," which didn't exactly inspire Obama supporters to rush to the polls. Obama kicked off his re-election campaign on Monday only to get a jump-start on raising money, mostly from wealthy donors. It's not clear yet how the grassroots organizers featured in this video will figure into the overall strategy of his campaign. And oddly, the video didn't mention Obama's record as president or legislative accomplishments, which one presumes will form the backbone of his re-election effort.

Nielson Study Says too Much TV: So?

Nielsen Study Shows African Americans Watch Most Television

A report released on Wednesday reveals that African Americans have the highest rate of total TV usage among all ethnicities in the United States.

According to the Nielsen State of the Media, which analyzed data compiled from November 2010, the U.S. average for television viewing is 5 hours, 11 minutes, with Asians watching TV an average of 3 hours, 14 minutes daily. On the higher end of that average, is the African-American community, watching television for an astronomical 7 hours, 12 minutes each day.

Reportedly, African Americans also play video games more than white, Hispanic or Asian Americans, which is higher than the national average.

Sifting through the disheartening statistics, one thing is crystal clear: Black people watch too much TV.

Obviously, not the best news, but how does that translate into a negative impact on the African-American community? According to a study done by Haejung Paik and George Comstock, there is a "positive and significant correlation between television violence and aggressive behavior."

Even more discouraging, a study by the Kaiser Foundation presents evidence that extensive media usage leads to poor grades and lower levels of personal contentment. Though the Nielsen study shows that teenagers watch television the least, that statistic is misleading. While it is true that actual television watching has declined, the viewing of television programming has increased through Internet usage and websites like Hulu and YouTube.

There have been many studies that indicate the poor academic performance of African-American children in school and the high achieving Asian children. And in acknowledgment of this data, President Barack Obama told journalists from black media outlets in 2009 that these findings are at the root of our overarching economic disparities:

"If we close the achievement gap, then a big chunk of economic inequality in this society is diminished," said the President.

Eighty-five percent of our children cannot read or do math at grade level, and an African-American male has a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison in his lifetime, according to a study done by Hart Research Associates for the Children's Defense Fund. All these things, theoretically, are related to excessive television usage.

We need to read more with our children, and turn the television off, so that they are not unduly influenced by violent and sexual images on screen, but instead forced to use their minds. There is power in knowledge, and we are doing our children a disservice by allowing them to consume so much frivolity.

But let's not get distracted.

While this study highlights the television usage in African-American households, there is a deeper issue of class status versus the obvious race issue. Asian-Americans watch the least amount of television, and have better academic performances and higher incomes than any other minority, according to a study done by A. Thernstrom called "No Excuses: Closing the Racial Gap in Learning." In data presented by website Teen Health and the Media, the heaviest television watching occurs in the lowest income households.

If one looks beneath the surface, this information suggests that if educational, housing and occupational disparities are addressed in this country, this can directly effect change in the amount of television viewing.

However, maybe we aren't supposed to look beneath the surface. Maybe it's easier for society to feed in to the "black people are lazy" stereotypes that run rampant in our culture instead of addressing underlying issues that affect our communities.

Maybe it's easier to say black people watch the most television, rather than poor people watch the most television.

After all, saying African Americans are more likely to live in poverty and thus more likely to watch television would lead to a conversation that this country -- led by our President -- refuses to have.

In the Mean Time

Full disclosure right off the bat: two of the six members of the eclectic Philadelphia band, the Mean, are my brothers. So I'm not unbiased when I say their new sophomore album, 'Zero, Zero,' is amazing. But you don't have to take my word for it. Praised for their "infectious live shows," "inventive time signatures" and "genre blending sound," the band is delightfully hard to categorize.
This eclecticism is part of what makes the Mean so captivating, along with their music's elemental catchiness. Their mixed aesthetic draws from a wide range of influences - think Richie Havens meets Bruce Springsteen meets Funkadelic.

With no apparent front man and three stylistically distinct guitarists who take turns vocalizing at the mic, the Mean still manages to maintain its own unique, unified sound. Maybe that tightness comes from the fact that its core members have been playing together in different iterations for over fifteen years. (They first came together at Princeton High School in New Jersey, the earlier stomping ground of both Blues Traveler and the Spin Doctors.)

Aaron Livingston, who sang the reggae-tinged "Guns Are Drawn" hook on The Roots' 'Tipping Point,' has a heart-melting soulful voice well suited for R&B and sometimes, country. Michael Gibney's tremulous tone is more classic folk. Charlie Raboteau is a baritone balladeer who edges toward rock.

Though each song on 'Zero, Zero' differs from the one that came before, they're all multi-layered and melodic in the same way. They're also smart.

Here is a lyric from 'You Want to Know Why I Love You': "In our Bible full of private jokes, I found a draft of a suicide note / I couldn't tell if it was you or I who wrote; the letters fading while the feeling floats."

You can stream the entire raft of songs on their website and see for yourself if it floats into your veins. Stellar tracks include 'Dragon Blues,' 'Pickering Bridge' and 'Ghost Witness.' (You can also stream their 2009 debut album, 'Meet us Here.')

Gov. Patterson on the Radio

Step aside Tom Joyner, former New York Governor David Patterson is coming for ya.From Media Bistro: Since leaving office on January 1, New York Governor David Paterson has been keeping busy. But not as you might think. The former governor has quietly been forging a new career, which incorporates his previous one.

He has become a radio go-to guy, and surprisingly, not as a guest to discuss politics, but as host of his own show. He brings a knowledge and passion to the subject. Paterson can focus on politics and current events while filling in for John Gamblingmornings on WOR. At WABC, there is the Religion on the Line show, which to date he's done once.

Arguably, Paterson's most relaxed at WFAN. Just prior to leaving Albany, Paterson spent the entire afternoon with Mike Francesa. If that was an audition for future on-air work at the sports station-he passed. Recently, Paterson hosted his own 'FAN show. It was there that FishbowlNY was granted exclusive access to the governor to talk about his new love-radio. Paterson says it may seem new to listeners, but he and radio actually have a long history together.

"When I was a child, I used the radio in place of the fact that I couldn't read the newspapers," Paterson says. "That's how I heard the news."

The Heart of a Politician

Yesterday I got a text from my sister with a note that former NJ Congressman John Adler had died. I had known him as "Senator" Adler because for 17 years he had served as a member of the NJ State Senate. I met him as a 17 year-old high school student, when he conducted my Harvard admissions interview.
From The Huffington Post: The news of his passing came as quite a shock, particularly because I've recently moved to Washington DC and since I've yet to install a TV or internet in my new place, and have been largely consumed with tracking down lost luggage and missing movers, I haven't been as connected to current events as I typically like to be. If not for a text from my sister, I might not have heard the news at all.


DC, I'm discovering, is a city with an almost irresistible momentum. On my second day in town I found myself at the Congressional Correspondents Dinner where I heard speeches from the likes of Senator Rand Paul, the Daily Show's Larry Wilmore and perhaps most memorably Congressman Anthony Weiner, who is shockingly hilarious in a very Brooklyn way.

I hadn't known about the Correspondents dinner until I received a generous impromptu invitation from some of my new colleagues in town and having just arrived from Los Angeles "sans luggage," I had to make swift moves in order to find a same-day tux rental and get geared up in time to make my first DC event. Within minutes of arriving I found myself speaking with one of Secretary Clinton's deputies at the State Department about some of their Public Diplomacy initiatives.

New Study: Black Women Have Highest Rate of Children with Different Fathers

New Study: Black Women Have Highest Rate of Children with Different Fathers

A new study shows that the rate of American women who have children with multiple fathers, also called "multiple-father family structure," is "pervasive."

According to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1 in 5 American Moms has kids with different birth fathers.

And you probably already know what's next.

Black Mothers lead the list: 59 percent of us have children with more than one father, while Hispanics come in second place at 35 percent and whites come in last at 22 percent.

According to the study's author Cassandra Dorius, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, "[Mothers with multiple fathers for their children] are more likely to be underemployed, to have lower incomes and to be less educated."

According to the study, families with multiple fathers are stressed out, with issues often arising about how to consistently raise a child in different households:

"Everyday decisions are more complex and family rules are more ambiguous," Dorius says. "Families need to figure out who lives with whom and when, who pays for things like clothing, who is responsible for child support."

The most unsettling theory about the high rate of children with different fathers is when the study considers what the outcome will be for the children involved:

"It's possible that some of these kids will be multiply disadvantaged."

Esteemed psychologist of the "Today Show" and resident psychologist of VH-1's "Daddy Day Camp" Dr. Jeff Gardere, talked with BlackVoices.com about this issue:

"In the past, multiple fathers was more of a product of poverty and the ravages of racism in the black community. And we do know that it caused more conflict and confusion for the kids and a harder time for mom's to manage."

Unlike study author Dorius' assessment, Dr. Gardere doesn't see a bleak picture for the majority of children who are brought up in households with multiple fathers:

"Kids can still thrive psychologically when there has been more than one father in the lives of their families."

To Dr. Gardere, this latest study actually exposes a positive development in society:

"I believe that instead of just seeing this as a deficit issue, I want to look at it from a strength base view point. It now seems this phenomenon may be based not just on poverty and racism, but more on the issues of lower marriage rates, higher divorce rates, less available men who are willing to totally commit and women who can either go it alone or manage the situation with multiple fathers."

Honestly, I think we do ourselves -- and our children -- a disservice by trying to put a positive spin on these findings. It is no secret that many of our children are not only growing up with multiple fathers but without fathers.

And we see how far that has gotten us.

I think I can speak for most black women that no one plans to have children by different men. For many of these women, the children produced with different men occur in unplanned pregnancies.

Now sure, many will argue that black women definitely need to be more discerning about the men that they sleep with and use birth control -- and they are right.

But it isn't as though some black women haven't been able to come up with this on their own. There are, albeit not as many, a number of black women, who I know personally, who refuse to have a child out of wedlock. Some of these women are still waiting to conceive deep in to their 40s with no suitor in sight.

So there is a problem.

And the other side of that problem is indeed some black men.

For some of those hardworking Mothers with different baby daddys, there is a major discrepancy between what they and their significant other want. I don't know how many black men I've seen who will date the Mother of their children for years.

These men love their children and more often than not take care of their responsibilities, but when it comes to making the relationships they have with their women official, there's a lot of backpedaling.

When I have asked jokingly (no pressure) when they are going to put a ring on their lady's finger, they are quick to say that they aren't the marrying type -- too bad they didn't realize that they also aren't the father type.

And when said woman gets tired of waiting, she often breaks it off with her child's father and starts the next relationship anew, hoping that this relationship will be the one that finally elevates her from "girlfriend" and "baby's mama" to "wife."

And for many, their day hasn't come yet: the last wasted relationship is followed by yet another and another, and children are unfortunately created in between.

Black women need to shoulder their share of the responsibility about using birth control until a man has proven that he wants to be in a committed relationship (read: married). But there is an equally troubling issue with some black men: why are they comfortable "dating" their baby mama for 10 years and never making it official, causing many of these kids to be born out of wedlock?

This question -- and so many others -- needs answering.

We owe it to our children.

VCs are Not Investing in Black Entrepreneurs

It's a simple formula: Investing in high-growth companies creates jobs while generating more wealth for investors. The formula has worked for America's private venture capital investment community for 65 years.

Unfortunately, no such active community exists in Black America.


From The Huffington Post:

This week, the National Venture Capital Association and the Angel Capital Association meets in Boston for the ACA Summit (April 4-6, 2011) and NVCA Annual Meeting (April 6-8). Together, these organizations are comprised of more than 500 groups of private equity investors who make up a large portion of the reason why the 21st century Innovation Economy races along at breakneck speed and offers solutions to the problems of high rates of unemployment and diminishing levels of wealth.

There are no such comparable gatherings in Black America.

Producing Jobs and Wealth

Between 1980 and 2005, all net job growth in America was produced by companies less than five years old. That doesn't happen without angel and venture capital investing in high-growth entrepreneurship.

Charlie Sheen Offered Higher Speaking Fee Than Clinton

Okay, so I realize I'm technically a few days late for April Fool's, so I guess you can just call the headline above a big fat lie.

From The Huffington Post:

Although give it a day or two and I'm afraid it may just come true. It's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility, not in an age in which Snooki from Jersey Shore is paid more than literary legend Toni Morrison to speak at the same institution.

When I first heard that a Snooki officially trumps a Nobel Prize winner in the "who is more valuable to a university?" department, my first thought was "Ha! Well that's a creative April Fool's joke." My second thought upon finding out that sadly, the joke's on us was, "There has never been a more sure sign of the apocalypse." Or as one of my wittier friends quipped, "a more shore sign of the apocalypse."


Now believe it or not I'm not going to use this as post to rag on Snooki. What is there to fault her for when she simply did what the American Dream encourages people to do: take the money someone offers you, no matter how questionable it (or the circumstances through which it was obtained) may be, and run as fast as you can. As far as I am concerned, this is a classic instance of "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

So for the record, I'm not hating on Snooki.

But I am going to hate on the organizer of "the game," in this case Rutgers University.

"I never even dreamed of this. I never even thought of being in the Hall of Fame ... When I played, I did my job, had fun, and entertained the crowd. This right here, I'm trying to soak it all in."
