T
he mayor of the City of
Mount Vernon, Ernest D.
Davis, 76 pled guilty in White
Plains federal court to failing to
file corporate and personal
income tax returns.
Davis surrendered on
Tuesday (October 14) and
entered his plea before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Paul E.
Davison, Preet Bharara, accord-
ing to the United States Attorney
for the Southern District of New
York.
Davis pled guilty to two
counts of willfully failing to file
federal income tax returns. He
faces a maximum sentence of two
years in prison. He is scheduled
to be sentenced by Judge Davison
at 11a.m. on January 26, 2015.
"People make mistakes and
I've certainly made enough, and
I've grown with those mistakes,"
Davis said. "The fact is I've been
under scrutiny for over seven
years and at the end of the day
I'm charged with two misde-
meanors and they were both fail-
ure to file taxes."
"I take full responsibility for
the condition that I'm in, but I
also wonder how many other
people can take seven years of
scrutiny and come up with two
misdemeanors," Mayor Davis
said. "If anything, this helps me
because it brings an end to a
seven-year investigation that I've
had to live with."
According to the information
and plea proceeding, in 1988,
Davis purchased a rental property
located at 14-16 Sandford
Boulevard East in Mount Vernon.
He held the building through a
corporation known as 14-16
Sandford East, Inc. Davis admit-
ted that he sold the building in
2003 but he failed to file the
required federal corporate
income tax return with the
Internal Revenue Service on
which he should have reported
the proceeds of the sale.
In addition, Davis also failed
to report the proceeds of the sale
of 14-16 Sandford Blvd. on his
2003 U.S. Individual Income Tax
Return, Form 1040, which he
filed on or about February 1,
2005.
Davis admitted that he
knowingly failed to file a person-
al federal income tax return for
the tax year 2011, when he
earned approximately $106,743
in adjusted gross income.
Davis, a Democrat, was re-
elected mayor in 2011 after pre-
viously serving three terms from
1996 to 2007. He has long been a
subject of various federal and city
Board of Ethics probes.
It was previously reported
that Davis has been the subject of
a Internal Revenue Service and
FBI investigation since 2012
with federal agents reviewing
charities and businesses he set up
and 10 properties he owns in four
states.

E
veryone has strengths and weaknesses
with respect to leadership. The strengths
are personal attributes that can be useful for
developing and exercising leadership skills.
For example, you may be comfortable
talking to strangers or you may have more
knowledge about a particular topic than oth-
ers. The weaknesses are factors that can
hamper your ability to develop and exercise
leadership skills. Weaknesses can include
difficulties with trusting others and poor
attention to detail. You can think of strength
as any trait or characteristic that will help
you become an effective leader and a weak-
ness as any trait or characteristic that will
interfere with leadership.
Identifying your strengths and weak-
nesses may be difficult because it requires
objective self-assessment. It is important for
leadership, because you want to emphasize
your strengths when faced with a leadership
task. At the same time, you should be contin-
uously working on improving your weak-
nesses to ensure that they do not hamper
your future leadership efforts.
One approach to identifying your lead-
ership strengths and weaknesses is to write a
reflective essay about a leadership experi-
ence. The experience does not have to
involve a formal leadership position and can
focus on a time when you influenced others
to strive toward a goal that you proposed. By
describing the situation and interaction, you
can evaluate the elements in your behaviors
and feelings that can be considered strengths
or weaknesses. To be effective, you must be
honest in your evaluation.
Another approach to identifying
strengths and weaknesses is to think about
the traits or characteristics that you have
observed in others who are in a position of
leadership and assess whether you have
these traits or characteristics. Observing oth-
ers can help you understand the way that
some personality characteristics, such as
extroversion or imagination, are valuable for
leadership. Observing others may also
reveal some of the traits associated with
poor leadership that can be considered
weaknesses, such as arrogance or insuffi-
cient concern for others. Comparing your-
self with other leaders can establish bench-
marks for personal appraisal of your own
strengths and weaknesses.
If you have been a leader in the past
even in a minor capacity, it may be helpful
to ask others about your strengths and weak-
nesses as a leader. You may be surprised by
what they tell you. They may identify some
characteristics or behaviors as strengths that
you have not believed were important for
leadership. If they are honest and objective
with their appraisal, they also may reveal
some weaknesses that you may not have
considered. The information others provide
can increase your understanding of leader-
ship abilities because it tells you how others
perceive you.

A
s the Chikungunya virus (Chik V) con-
tinues to spread across the world,
including Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Haiti
where an epidemic was declared, news are
surfacing about the spread of the more dead-
ly Ebola disease.
In the last few weeks several thousand
Jamaicans have been in pains as a result of
Chik V, which is transmitted similarly to
dengue fever to humans by the virus-carry-
ing Aedes mosquito. It causes an illness with
an acute joint pain and arthritic symptoms
associated with the disease.
While Chik V may not be considered an
immediate threat to us, we are very con-
cerned about our families in the Caribbean as
the tropical environment is the ideal breed-
ing ground for mosquitoes.
Over the next few months, health officials
are predicting that several thousands more
people will become infected. They are also
urging that careful management of the dis-
ease is the only solution.
The elimination of mosquitoes breeding
sites, supplying adequate amounts of med-
ication and educating the public about the
disease are among the strategies being adopt-
ed by authorities.
Nevertheless, we are very optimistic
that with adequate resources and co-opera-
tion from government agencies and the gen-
eral public, Chik V should be under control.
However, we are very precautious and
perhaps fearful, that Ebola may be a chal-
lenge for us because the disease is highly
contagious and there is currently no reliable
vaccine.
As noted by experts from the WHO and
Imperial College, London, unless Ebola con-
trol measures in West Africa are enhanced
quickly, the numbers will continue to climb
exponentially, and more than 20,000 people
will have been infected by early November.
The largest outbreak to date is the ongo-
ing 2014 West Africa Ebola virus outbreak,
which is affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone,
Liberia and Nigeria.
As of October 10, 8, 376 suspected
cases have been identified, with 4,024
deaths.
Concerns about the Ebola virus were
heightened Sunday when a health care work-
er in Texas had a positive preliminary test for
the disease. The worker's case marks the first
known transmission of Ebola in the United
States and the second diagnosis in the coun-
try.
As the world's most popular country,
attracting thousands of visitors daily and per-
haps another equal number of illegal immi-
grants, the USA is in a vulnerable position.
The Federal government must lead the way
to contain the spread of the disease.
We are comforted by the words of
President Barack Obama who recently
declared that the world knows how to fight
Ebola and pledged to protect the American
people from the disease.
As ordinary citizens, we must play our
part and act responsibly in helping to stop
the disease.

PELHAM:
P
elham police along with U.S.
postal inspectors and several
other local police departments
charged nine suspects on Friday
with stealing mail from blue col-
lection boxes in Westchester
County, officials said.
Anthony Monroe and his co-
conspirators allegedly stole mail
with checks and money orders
and renegotiated the checks to
themselves, police said.
The subjects were charged
with various offenses, including
grand larceny, criminal posses-
sion of stolen property, criminal
possession of a forged instrument
and petty larceny, police said.
"This is a great example of law
enforcement partnerships work-
ing to ensure that America's mail
is protected from criminal activi-
ty," Inspector in Charge Philip R.
Bartlett said in a statement. "We
are grateful to the Eastchester
Police Department, Westchester
County Police Department,
Pelham Police Department, and
New York City Police
Department for their profession-
alism and their invaluable assis-
tance in this investigation."

With Mail Theft
Court Official Pleads
Guilty to Grand Larceny
BRONX:
H
is job was to help protect the estates of people who died without
a will, and make sure the money and property got to the right
people. For that, the former Counsel to the Bronx Public
Administrator was entitled to charge fees.
Instead, he took fees well in excess of what was allowed without
approval, and covered up his wildly excessive charges by falsifying
documents.
Now, 70-year-old lawyer Michael Lippman has pled guilty to
two counts of Grand Larceny in the 3rd Degree (Class D Felonies) in
Bronx Supreme Court before Acting Justice Steven Barrett, and has
agreed to pay restitution of $145,829.50 to estates he intentionally
overcharged in lieu of imprisonment.
Should he not pay full restitution by his sentencing date next
March, Lippman faces two to six years behind bars. Lippmans mis-
deeds were uncovered after a joint investigation between the Bronx
County D.A.s Office and the NYC Department of Investigation.
WRONGFULLY IMPRISONED FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS:
Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson announced on Wednesday that he will move to vacate
murder and other charges against David McCallum and the late Willie Stuckey, who were convict-
ed in the 1985 kidnapping and murder of Nathan Blenner. The decision follows a thorough review
of the case by the District Attorneys Conviction Review Unit. District Attorney Thompson said,
The Violent Criminal Enterprises Bureau will significantly increase our ability to save lives and
protect communities in Brooklyn that have long suffered from gun violence, drug dealing and other
criminal acts committed by gangs. I look forward to the success of this Bureau as it works to pro-
tect the people of Brooklyn from some of the most dangerous and violent criminals on our
streets.

BROOKLYN:
A
44-year-old teacher at Brooklyn
Technical High School was last
Tuesday indicted on charges of first-
degree disseminating indecent material to
a minor, and other charges, for allegedly
sending an explicit photograph to a 16-
year-old female student.
The District Attorney Kenneth
Thompson identified the defendant as
Sean Shaynak of East Flatbush, Brooklyn.
The defendant was arraigned on charges
of first-degree disseminating indecent
material to a minor, third-degree obsceni-
ty, endangering the welfare of a minor and
second-degree harassment before
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Martin
Murphy. The defendant was ordered held
on bail of $100,000 bond or $25,000 cash.
He faces up to seven years in prison if
convicted.
District Attorney Thompson said,
This is a disturbing allegation as schools
should be safe havens for students where
teachers should protect our children from,
and not expose them to, such disgusting
sexual images. Here, the defendant is
accused of betraying his position of trust
and he will now be held accountable for
his actions.
The District Attorney said that,
according to the investigation, Shaynak,
who teaches math and science, was
Facebook friends with the student. It is
alleged that he sent a photo of his genitals
to the student via Snapchat on June 27,
2014, at the end of the school year. The
student then preserved the image by pho-
tographing it with her cell phone.

NEW YORK CITY:
C
ivil rights attorney Jonathan Moore,
who will now take the lead in the Eric
Garner case, joined the family Saturday
morning at Reverend Al Sharpton's
National Action Network rally.
The long-time attorney is known for
representing three of the men who were
wrongly convicted in the Central Park jog-
ger rape case.
He will now represent Garner's family
in their $75 million lawsuit against the
city.
"Do I have confidence in the Staten
Island DA? Look, they have a video tape
and it's been three months. It's hard to have
confidence in a prosecuting authority that
takes three months to get an indictment for
something that should have been done
much quicker. So, at this point I have to
say I don't really have much confidence in
the Staten Island DA," Moore said.
The family's previous attorney,
Sanford Rubenstein, withdrew from the
case Wednesday amid allegations he raped
a top official from the National Action
Network. He has denied any misconduct.
Garner died in July after he was
placed in an alleged chokehold by police
during his arrest.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti:
H
aitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier,
known as Baby Doc, will reported-
ly be laid to rest on Saturday, October
11th , a week after he died from a heart
attack, sources say.
Duvalier, 63, the so-called president
for life, who allegedly ordered the deaths
of thousands through his Haitian paramil-
itary force the Tonton Macoute, will
receive a state funeral, the Haitian govern-
ment has announced, since he was a head
of state.
Duvalier fled Haiti in 1985 and
stunned Haiti when he returned 25 years
later.
He was charged with human rights
crimes within days of his return, but he
successfully argued in court that the
statute of limitations had expired on
charges that included torture, rape and
extrajudicial killings. In February, a
Haitian appeals court ruled that the lower
court was wrong and that there is no
statute of limitations for human rights vio-
lations. The ruling reopened the possibili-
ty that Duvalier could face such charges,
but he died before a judicial investigation
decided whether to pursue the charges.

N
ew York City officials on Monday
announced new plans in case the
Ebola virus spreads to the city.
Officials announced Monday that 11
different emergency areas have been set
up to deal with the virus. A lab where
immediate testing can be conducted has
also been established.
Meanwhile, in a secret shopper ini-
tiative, people posing as patients who
claim they just traveled with Ebola-like
symptoms will be sent to hospitals to test
out the response.
President Barack Obama announced
the crisis earlier Monday. Were also
going to be working on protocols to do
additional passenger screening both at the
source and here in the United States,
Obama said.
Until Monday, everyone who had
come down with the Ebola virus in the
outbreak contracted it in West Africa.
Now, a nurse working in Spain has
caught the virus while treating a Spanish
priest who had been in Sierra Leone. She
has been reported in stable condition.
Last week, doctors in Texas diag-
nosed the first case of Ebola in the United
States first case of Ebola in the United
States. Thomas Eric Duncan traveled from
disease-ravaged Liberia to Dallas last
month before he began showing symp-
toms of the disease that has killed some
3,400 people in West Africa.
Hospital officials said Saturday that
Duncans condition has worsened to criti-
cal.
Health officials said on Saturday that
they are still monitoring about 50 people
who may have had contact with Duncan
for signs of the deadly disease. Among
those are nine people who are believed to
be at a higher risk. Thus far, none have
shown symptoms.
On Saturday in Newark, more than
200 passengers and crew aboard a United
Airlines flight arriving from Belgium were
asked to stay on the plane after landing
while a man was vomiting during the
flight was examined, officials said.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention arrived, and the sick pas-
senger, who was traveling from Liberia,
was taken to University Hospital in
Newark, where doctors determined he did
not have Ebola and was not contagious.

Trinidad Express newspaper
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO:
T
he Ministry of Foreign Affairs said
recently it has been in touch with
Jamaican High Commissioner to Trinidad
and Tobago, Sharon Saunders, over claims
by 13 of her compatriots that they were
unjustly deported from Trinidad on Tuesday
night.
Members of the rejected group said they
were told by Trinidadian immigration offi-
cers after arriving at Piarco International
Airport they were being sent back because of
the recent murder of Trinidadian Keron
Fraser, whose body was found in a shallow
grave at Duncans Pen in Spanish Town, St
Catherine. Fraser went missing on October
18, two days after arriving in Jamaica.
The travellers are now crying foul over
what they said is a breach of the Revised
Treaty of Chaguaramas and a mark of disre-
spect to the Caribbean Court of Justice
(CCJ), which, in a landmark case involving
Shanique Myrie against the Barbadian
Government, ruled that where a Caricom
national is refused entry into a member state,
that national should be allowed to consult an
attorney, a consular official, or to contact a
family member.
The CCJ also ruled that member states
should give, promptly and in writing, reasons
for refusing entry to Caricom nationals. The
receiving state is also obliged to inform the
refused national of his or her right to chal-
lenge the decision.
The Jamaicans claimed this procedure
was not followed and that they were threat-
ened to sign refusal-of-entry forms or spend
the night in jail.

News Americas:
Dear Mr. President,
W
hen you swept into office in 2008 on the backs of
many immigrant voters your promises of comprehen-
sive immigration reform were glorious. Yet, in the five
years since holding the post as President and Commander-
in-Chief, your administration has deported more than 3 mil-
lion immigrants to Latin America and the Caribbean alone,
the most of any U.S. President and the most to any region on
earth.
The total stands at 3,526,719, according to my analysis
of newly released Department of Homeland Security data.
The majority was sent back to Mexico for the period 2009-
2013 alone a total of 2,774,468. But even before the crisis
at the boarder involving Central Americans, a large number
of migrants from this region were also being deported in
droves back to their home nations.
Guatemala received a whopping 246,444 migrants back
from the U.S. in the five years since you took office while
Honduras saw 211,519 deportees during the same period
and El Salvador, 175,506.
By contrast, Central America received fewer deportees
under the George W. Bush administration. Some 122,938
were sent back to Guatemala in the five years before you
took office while 177,747 were deported to Honduras and
155,231 to El Salvador, almost 200,000 less than current
totals.
No other nations in Central America or Latin America
received as many deportees since you took office but the
numbers were also higher for other Caribbean and Latin
nations than when Bush was President.
Some 23,212 immigrants were sent packing back to the
Dominican Republic between 2009 and 2013 alone, the
highest for any Caribbean country and the fifth highest for
any nation in the Americas. The Dominican Republic depor-
tees total under Bush was 19,522.
Cuba received 20,503 deportees in the past five years to
come in at number six, while Brazil took the seventh spot in
the Americas with 14,287 deportees sent back over the years
since you have held the reins of the United States.
Jamaica rounded out the Americas for most deportees
since you took office, with 13,803 between 2009 and 2013.
Prior to that, under President Bush, the total between 2004
and 2008 stood at 7,775, proving that under your adminis-
tration, the number has almost doubled.
The only nations receiving more deportees under Bush
than you were Mexico and Cuba. The number of deportees
to Mexico was more with 5,031,687 deported between
2004-2008 while 22,811 were sent back to Cuba.
Deportee totals to other nations during the past five
years were also higher according to the DHS data: Haiti-
8,823 under your administration; 5,884under Bush;
Trinidad & Tobago-2,866under your administration; 1,850
under Bush; Guyana1,983 under your administration,
1,335 under Bush; Argentina 1,918 under your adminis-
tration, 1,581 under Bush; Belize, 1,653 under your
administration
While you have consistently insisted you support immi-
gration reform, your actions on the deportation front has
resulted in many of your base turning away in disgust. Pew
Research Center research show Hispanics have expressed
disapproval of the growing number of deportations during
your administration and six-in-ten Hispanic adults say the
increased number of deportations of unauthorized immi-
grants is a bad thing.
Your delay in making immigration changes on your
own from end of Summer to now after the November
midterm elections is also a source of discontent.
Last Thursday night, Oct. 2, 2014, you tried your best
to explain to a roomful of wary Hispanic supporters at the
Hispanic Congressional Caucus Institute Gala again that you
are really on their side, stating: I am not going to give up
this fight until it gets done.
But to the protestors picketing outside, the time for
promises are over. Their message on the picket lines said it
all: Immediate relief from deportation now Mr. President.
Respectfully,
Felicia Persaud.

West Indies
Players Reject
WIPA/Hinds
Bridgetown (Barbados):
T
he West Indies players currently on
tour of India say they no longer want
to be any part of a Wavell Hinds-led West
Indies Players Association (WIPA), and
have asked the West Indies Cricket Board
(WICB) to "urgently" intervene in the
impasse.
In a letter to WICB president Dave
Cameron, the players once again
expressed their lack of faith in Hinds'
leadership and reiterated their desire to
return to the terms of the old Collective
Bargaining Agreement/Memorandum of
Understanding, reports CMC.
The WICB, on Saturday, confirmed
to CMC Sports it has received the letter.
Wavell Hinds refuses to resign as
WIPA presidentWest Indies board aware
of looming strike by playersWICB, WIPA
sign a new agreement
The players have accused Hinds,
WIPA president and chief executive, of
misleading them as it relates to the terms
of the newly signed CBA/MOU.
In a move that threatens to split the
players union and derail an agreement
Cameron recently described as "historic",
the Windies players said they had "collec-
tively determined" not to accept any con-
tracts stemming from the agreement and
would also seek new representation short-
ly.
"The process that has been supposed-
ly undertaken on our behalf is, in our
view, a breach of trust, a clear lack of
transparency and violation of our rights,"
the players wrote.
PRETORIA, South Africa (AFP)
D
ouble amputee Oscar Pistorius would
be vulnerable to gang rape if sent to one
of South Africa's brutal prisons, a defence
witness claimed during a day of heated
courtroom argument on Tuesday.
With sentencing days away, the state
and defence traded angry barbs over the
Paralympian star athlete's disability, charity
work and "blood money" apparently paid to
Reeva Steenkamp's family since her death.
Pistorius has been found guilty of
unlawfully killing the 29-year-old model but
acquitted of the more serious charge of mur-
der.
A state source told AFP that Judge
Thokozile Masipa could rule on his punish-
ment on Friday, with her options ranging
from a fine to 15 years in prison.
Defence witness Annette Vergeer
warned a jail stretch would "break" Pistorius
and claimed it was not in the interest of jus-
tice.
"Without legs he will be vulnerable and
a lot more vulnerable than the normal man,"
said Vergeer, a parole officer who was paid
for her work for the defence.
"I've recently done a case for rape with-
in the prison, gang rape. How can we say
that he won't be exposed to that?" she said,
adding that washing his stumps may also be
a problem.
South Africa's department of correction-
al services has said that Pistorius could be
entitled to separate accommodation
"depending on the vulnerability caused by
the disability". There is little doubt that the
prison system in South Africa is in a bad
state, with violence, overcrowding and crim-
inal behaviour all endemic.

Brazil, who included Barcelona's

Argentina's Lionel Messi had a penal-

ODI series
reduced to
four matches
T
he one-day international cricket
series between India and West Indies
is now a four game affair after the Board
of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
cancelled the third match which was set
for Wednesday.
The decision was taken due to the
presence of a cyclone in the Indian city of
Visak-Hapat-Nam.
The BCCI informed the West Indies
Board that the game will not be resched-
uled and the managers of both teams have
been advised to be prepared to travel to
Dharam-Sala for the fourth ODI.
With flight services to and from
Visak-Hapat-Nam suspended, both teams
remained in Delhi, where they had played
the second ODI on Saturday.
The series is now locked at 1-1, after
the Indians won game two on Saturday by
48 runs.

Kingston, Jamaica WI:
L
eader of the Parliamentary Opposition
in Jamaica and former Prime Minister,
Andrew Holness, will headline the 11th
series of the Outlook for the Future
meetings, to be held in New York, in the
United States of America; and Toronto,
Canada on October 21 and 23, respective-
ly.
The Outlook for the Future series,
organised by the Jamaica National
Building Society (JNBS), has been held in
the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom
since 2003. The meetings have successful-
ly brought together representatives of suc-
cessive administrations and key leaders
overseas to engage in frank, open discus-
sions about issues of national importance
to Jamaicans locally and in the Diaspora.
In addition, the forums provide an envi-
ronment in which investors can network
and explore opportunities for investment
in Jamaica.
Past Outlook speakers have included
former National Security Minister and
current Finance Minister, Dr. Peter
Phillips in 2003 and returned in 2013; for-
mer Prime Minister Bruce Golding, who
in 2005, as Leader of the Opposition, was
keynote speaker at the meetings; former
Finance Minister, Audley Shaw who
attended in 2009 and again in 2010; and
Omar Davies, Minister of Transport,
Works and Housing who headlined the
events in 2013.
The 2014 series will focus on the
theme, The Jamaican Economy: A Vision
for Transformation. These meetings will
allow Jamaicans in the Diaspora to get
another perspective on the vision our lead-
ers have for the social and economic
future of our country, said Mr Earl Jarrett
General Manager of JNBS. He noted that
the vision will be discussed within the cur-
rent context of the countrys ongoing pro-
gramme with the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and other critical economic
initiatives.
The presentations will, therefore,
explore critical issues, such as the nations
relationship with multi-lateral agencies;
plans for the productive sector; and plans
for the achievement of economic growth;
as well as, initiatives to improve education
and strengthen the health system, he
explained.
The format for the 2014 Outlook
forums, scheduled for the New York
Midtown Hotel at 7:00 p.m. on October
21; and Fairmont Royal York Hotel in
Toronto, October 23 at 7:00 p.m., will
involve a panel discussion segment, which
will provide an analysis of the keynote
presentation and response to comments
from the audience.
The discussion will be moderated by
well-known Jamaican broadcast journalist
and attorney-at-law, Emily Crooks; and,
will allow the keynote speaker; Mr
Holness, to make closing statements at the
end of the discussion.
Jamaica National is currently cele-
brating its 140th year of service to its
members, locally and overseas. It is the
largest building society in the English-
speaking Caribbean; and, has a network of
representative offices in the USA, Canada
and the United Kingdom. The Society also
has a broader and deeper global reach
through its subsidiary, JN Money Services
Limited, which markets its remittance
services under the JN Money Transfer
brand.

EDUCATION & YOUTH

I
f youre a junior or senior in high school,
you may be asking yourself, Do AP and
SAT scores matter for getting into college?
AP and SAT scores can be one of the decid-
ing factors in your college applications, or
they could not matter at all. It really just
depends on the college.
Checking how selective your potential
schools are is the first thing you should do
when asking, Do AP and SAT scores matter
for getting into college?. While schools that
only accept around 10 or 20 percent of appli-
cants probably look at everything pretty
closely, open acceptance schools dont.
According to COLLEGEdata, the aver-
age college accepts 63.8 percent of appli-
cants. Open acceptance schools, however,
will accept almost anyone. Many open
acceptance schools are community colleges,
but some are four-year universities. As long
as you have graduated high school or have
your GED, these colleges would love to have
you as a student, so they wont even look at
your AP and SAT scores.
You might receive college credit, get to
skip certain introductory courses, get schol-
arship money or qualify for honors housing
because of your scores, but your acceptance
wont depend on how well or poorly you did
on your AP or SAT tests.
If youre really worried about your test
scores, you can decide to ask the schools that
youre interested in, Do AP and SAT scores
matter for getting into college?
Many colleges tend to look at your
grades and course load more than they look
at your test scores. This is because they real-
ize that some students are really smart but
are just bad test takers. If you have bad
grades and bad test scores, colleges are more
likely to look at you unfavorably, but good
grades in college preparatory classes indi-
cate that you give your best effort every day.
Schools want students that are willing to
work hard and make something out of them-
selves, not lazy geniuses.
As long as you arent applying to a
super selective school, you should be more
worried about things that show how much
effort you put into your work, such as grades
and the difficulty of your classes.
Do AP and SAT scores matter for get-
ting into college? Yes, but so do other things.
Colleges and universities love well-rounded
students, so if you have to choose between
studying for an extra two hours every night
to get perfect test scores and joining a base-
ball or gymnastics team, choose the latter.
Also think about volunteering, taking
music lessons and being involved in other
activities. While tests scores are important,
colleges and universities want to have stu-
dents that will be involved with campus
activities, too. They want leaders. Show that
youre able to stick with something by being
involved with it for multiple years and
accomplishing something.

If your hair is not becoming,
You should be coming to us
By Patrick Maitland
Editor-Street Hype
A
fter experimenting with several pro-
fessions including sales, marketing,
insurance underwriting and as a health
care worker, Jamaican-born Virginia
Scarlett, 49, is now celebrating her 20th
anniversary of as one of New York City
celebrity and master stylists.
With limited resources and support
from family members, Scarlett founded
the popular Bronx-based Hair Odyssey on
August 22, 1994 and continues to serve as
the CEO and master stylist. Everything
else that I tried were very boring and
appear not to be challenging for me. It
was therefore very easy for me to stick to
hair care as I really have a passion for it
and feel good to know I am assisting
somebody to look and feel good as well,
Scarlett explains.
Licensed under the New York State
Board of Cosmetology, Scarlett is a grad-
uate of the Long Island Beauty School
now Empire Beauty School, but never
stop learning. She attended scores of
educational seminars and refresher class-
es to improve her knowledge as well as to
comply with city and state regulations.
Hair shows and other expositions help us
to stay current and trendy, therefore there
is no question that we have become
experts in the changing hair care opera-
tions, she acknowledges.
Scarlett, who is from a third-genera-
tion of hairstylists including her mother
and grandmothers, says her mission is not
only to make one look pretty, but we
want to reveal your beauty to the world.
We have been committed to total hair care
and restoration and will continue to keep
that as among our main focus. As we cel-
ebrate 20 years, I am proud to say that
Hair Odyssey is synonymous with incred-
ible hair styles that takes its lead from the
top trends of today, she adds.
A mother of two daughters, Scarlett
has been described by her peers and
clients as a highly trained, creative and
style-savvy expert. Serving over two
hundred clients annually, she is known for
her creative skills in hair extensions, short
cuts, bridal updos, and coloring. Our
salon professionals will make you feel
luxurious, pampered and truly beautiful.
We want to create looks for our customers
that can transform not only hair but self
image, she speaks with pride.
Known for her philanthropic and sup-
port of community activities, Scarlett is a
regular contributor to numerous charities
including styling the hair of high school
students preparing for graduation and job
interviews. Scarlett also assisted in
fundraising efforts for AIDS and breast
cancer programs.
The mother of two daughters and a
granddaughter is very excited about the
future and look forward to expand her the
business offering to include more hair
care products. Innovative, luxurious and
bold looks are our specialty, whether you
are looking for the perfect wedding hair
style or you are up for a bold drastic
change for every day, Scarlett adds.

PATERSON NJ:
O
ne of three men charged in the fatal shooting
of a 14-year-old Paterson girl ordered at
least three juveniles to be part of a murder plot
and threatened to kill an accomplice if he talked
about the shooting, according to court records.
Passaic County First Assistant Prosecutor
Michael DeMarco said Monday that seven people
had been taken into custody related to the fatal
shooting of Nazerah Bugg, a high school fresh-
man and aspiring basketball star who was gunned
down on the corner of Clinton Street and North
Main Street on Sept. 20 as she walked with
friends. One of those friends, a 15-year-old girl,
was wounded.
Court and jail records show that three adults,
all residents of the city, have been charged in con-
nection with Nazerahs death.
Shakeem Ricks, 20, Tyheem Mayfield, 22,
and Nyje Johnson, 19, were charged with murder,
attempted murder and conspiracy to commit mur-
der, according to those records. On Monday after-
noon, a convoy of police took them to the Passaic
County Jail, where they were being held on $2
million bail each, according to authorities.
It was not clear from criminal complaints
filed in court whether police believe the shooters
were aiming at anyone in particular. Police said in
the complaints that the men acted with others
with the purpose to fire guns aimed at the corner
of Clinton Street and North Main Street, where
numerous people were knowingly present.

Goodbye
Nazerah Bugg:
Hundreds of mourners lined up
outside St. Luke Baptist Church
in Paterson on Thursday to say
goodbye to Nazerah Bugg, the
young basketball player who
was killed by a gunshot on Sept.
20.
Members of Nazerah
Buggs immediate family leav-
ing the church after the funeral.
And many wept, a few leaving
the funeral service so grief-
stricken they let out screams
that echoed down the street.
Police escorted the young
girls casket in a 14-member
motorcade, one motorcycle for
each year of her life. They
closed part of Carroll Street for
the steady stream of mourners.

Dear Divine Diva:
I
have been dating "Gene" for three
years, living together for a year and a
half. We're both divorced and love each
other very much.
Our biggest problem is, he doesn't
keep a "normal" schedule. Gene eats at
odd hours, exercises at the strangest
times and will stay awake 'til the wee
hours of the morning, then crash for a day
or so.
He seems unfazed by this wacki-
ness. He's responsible, holds a good job
and comes from a terrific family, but his
habits are taking a toll on me.
There are days when I want him
home for dinner, or I want to cuddle with
him. I want a normal schedule. This is
tricky because I have accepted his
lifestyle and now the brakes have come
on for me. Gene doesn't understand my
sudden change of attitude, and frankly,
neither do I.
Do I have only two choices -- accept
him for who he is or find someone who
follows a more conventional schedule? I
love him so much that leaving would be
very hard to do.
-Janet, Brooklyn
Dear Janet:
It would be interesting to know what
Gene does for a living. Does he work in a
casino? Show business?
It's possible your change in attitude
has come about because you now realize
that you might be living his unconven-
tional lifestyle for the rest of your life.
Compromises you could make on a tem-
porary basis can seem daunting when you
see they'll be permanent.
If you need someone who lives his
life on a normal schedule, one of you will
have to make some changes.
You will either have to accept this as
your future or Gene will have to change
his lifestyle.
Because he seems to thrive on the
schedule he's living on, the adjustment
may be very difficult for him.
-Always Divine Diva

Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known
as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe,
often fatal illness in humans. The virus is
transmitted to people from wild animals and
spreads in the human population through
human-to-human transmission.
The average EVD case fatality rate is
around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied
from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.
The first EVD outbreaks occurred in
remote villages in Central Africa, near tropi-
cal rainforests, but the most recent outbreak
in west Africa has involved major urban as
well as rural areas.
Community engagement is key to suc-
cessfully controlling outbreaks. Good out-
break control relies on applying a package of
interventions, namely case management, sur-
veillance and contact tracing, a good labora-
tory service, safe burials and social mobilisa-
tion.
Early supportive care with rehydration,
symptomatic treatment improves survival.
There is as yet no licensed treatment proven
to neutralise the virus but a range of blood,
immunological and drug therapies are under
development.
There are currently no licensed Ebola
vaccines but 2 potential candidates are under-
going evaluation.
The Ebola virus causes an acute, serious
illness which is often fatal if untreated. Ebola
virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 in
2 simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara,
Sudan, and the other in Yambuku,
Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter
occurred in a village near the Ebola River,
from which the disease takes its name.
The current outbreak in west Africa,
(first cases notified in March 2014), is the
largest and most complex Ebola outbreak
since the Ebola virus was first discovered in
1976. There have been more cases and deaths
in this outbreak than all others combined. It
has also spread between countries starting in
Guinea then spreading across land borders to
Sierra Leone and Liberia, by air (1 traveller
only) to Nigeria, and by land (1 traveller) to
Senegal.
The most severely affected countries,
Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have very
weak health systems, lacking human and
infrastructural resources, having only recent-
ly emerged from long periods of conflict and
instability. On August 8, the WHO Director-
General declared this outbreak a Public
Health Emergency of International Concern.
A separate, unrelated Ebola outbreak
began in Boende, Equateur, an isolated part
of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The virus family Filoviridae includes 3
genera: Cuevavirus, Marburgvirus, and
Ebolavirus. There are 5 species that have
been identified: Zaire, Bundibugyo, Sudan,
Reston and Ta Forest. The first 3,
Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus,
and Sudan ebolavirus have been associated
with large outbreaks in Africa. The virus
causing the 2014 west African outbreak
belongs to the Zaire species.
Transmission
It is thought that fruit bats of the
Pteropodidae family are natural Ebola virus
hosts. Ebola is introduced into the human
population through close contact with the
blood, secretions, organs or other bodily flu-
ids of infected animals such as chimpanzees,
gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope
and porcupines found ill or dead or in the
rainforest.
Ebola then spreads through human-to-
human transmission via direct contact
(through broken skin or mucous membranes)
with the blood, secretions, organs or other
bodily fluids of infected people, and with sur-
faces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing)
contaminated with these fluids.
Health-care workers have frequently
been infected while treating patients with
suspected or confirmed EVD. This has
occurred through close contact with patients
when infection control precautions are not
strictly practiced.
Burial ceremonies in which mourners
have direct contact with the body of the
deceased person can also play a role in the
transmission of Ebola.
People remain infectious as long as their
blood and body fluids, including semen and
breast milk, contain the virus. Men who have
recovered from the disease can still transmit
the virus through their semen for up to 7
weeks after recovery from illness.
Symptoms of Ebola virus disease
The incubation period, that is, the time
interval from infection with the virus to onset
of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not
infectious until they develop symptoms. First
symptoms are the sudden onset of fever
fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore
throat. This is followed by vomiting, diar-
rhoea, rash, symptoms of impaired kidney
and liver function, and in some cases, both
internal and external bleeding (e.g. oozing
from the gums, blood in the stools).
Laboratory findings include low white blood
cell and platelet counts and elevated liver
enzymes.
Diagnosis
It can be difficult to distinguish EVD
from other infectious diseases such as malar-
ia, typhoid fever and meningitis.
Confirmation that symptoms are caused by
Ebola virus infection are made using the fol-
lowing investigations:
antibody-capture enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
antigen-capture detection tests
serum neutralization test
reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reac-
tion (RT-PCR) assay
electron microscopy
virus isolation by cell culture.
Samples from patients are an extreme
biohazard risk; laboratory testing on non-
inactivated samples should be conducted
under maximum biological containment con-
ditions.
Treatment and vaccines
Supportive care-rehydration with oral or
intravenous fluids- and treatment of specific
symptoms, improves survival. There is as yet
no proven treatment available for EVD.
However, a range of potential treatments
including blood products, immune therapies
and drug therapies are currently being evalu-
ated. No licensed vaccines are available yet,
but 2 potential vaccines are undergoing
human safety testing.

ello, thanks to the editor of
Street Hype Patrick
Maitland and my personal chal-
lenges, I am filled with great
excitement in writing this bi
weekly educational and empow-
ering column for Street Hype.
It has been a number of
years since many of you have
not heard my voice or read any-
thing I have written.
After some life changing
personal adversities which
included a divorce, no radio
show, the closure of Reliable
Financing Services, as well as
the closure of Gabrielles
Restaurants, well, I am the next
Netflix.
Like tens of thousands of in
our communities and millions of
other Americans not to mention
the millions globally who have
gone through various life chang-
ing experiences over the past six
years, I am no different. I have
made mistakes. Having said
that, to underestimate me is to
motivate me. I will not or have
not allowed my past errors to
define who I am. I consider
those inaccuracies part of my
growth.
Throughout the past 25
years, by excluding my six years
of hardship, all I had known was
success; and the vehicle that had
driven me to my achievements
was a mindset built on empow-
ering individuals by educating
them with information to will
help them make decisions that
added immediate benefits and
long term value to their lives.
As a leader, I always lead
my taking action not by inaction.
For example, it was I who initi-
ated educating the Caribbean
community about the pros and
cons of mortgage financing on
93.5 FM.
My message was always
about educating the audience. I
did this by telling the listeners
what they needed to know as
they endeavor in becoming a
homeowner.
As a result of the changes
that have occurred in my life, I
can either sit back and live in the
past or recognize that change is
the only constant in all of our
lives. Living in America, there
is no place that gives you the
platform to view failure for
what it really is and that is
another chance to do things bet-
ter than you did before.
Understand that informa-
tion is powerful only when
applied in real-life situations.
Approximately two years ago
after some five plus years of
wrangling back and forth in
court with my ex wife, I made
the decision to restructure my
platform and lay a new founda-
tion; relative to specific needs of
todays business community and
key parts of our individuals
lives.
Lastly, if you think you
cant, you have already lost.
Always remember, it is not
where you have been that mat-
ters, it is what you have learned
from your past experiences that
will fuel your ultimate life jour-
ney.
I know that seeing the
future while not being a captive
of the present, and not being
afraid to accept change, as well
as being willing to trust and
learn from complete strangers
has open a wider door of oppor-
tunity for my lasting success
with a brighter tomorrow than
any triumph I had experience in
the past.

ederal government contracts worth $500 billion are
awarded each year, with the law requiring that 23
percent go to small businesses. But every year officials
struggle to meet that goal and having difficulty in meet-
ing the goals of awarding 5 percent of contracts to
women-owned businesses and 3 percent to businesses
in low-income areas.
Last year large firms nabbed $83 billion in govern-
ment contracts tailored to small businesses, according to
a recent story in Government Executive.
If small business owners learn as much as possible
about this bidding process and start applying, they may
be able to land a lucrative contract. Here are a few tips
for finding and winning federal or local government
contracts.
1. Register a business.
The Small Business Administration has a guide for
those wishing to register their small business and bid on
federal government contracts. First the businessperson
needs to get a Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS) number from Dun & Bradstreet, which can be
obtained at no cost through the D&B website. This
number is required before someone can begin bidding
on government contracts.
Once a company has a DUNS number, the owner
can begin bidding on government contracts. Register on
the federal online System for Award Management, as
well as appropriate state central procurement contracts
site. In both instances, search through bid opportunities
to locate any contracts that might be ideal for the small
business.
2. Serve as a subcontractor.
One way a business can land government work without
competing for jobs is to serve as a subcontractor. The
Supplier Connection site is a great way to find those
opportunities: Small businesses can locate contracting
opportunities available from larger businesses. By sub-
contracting with a large business, an owner can learn
more about the process while obtaining the income that
comes from government contracting.
The SBA also maintains an online directory of con-
tractors that are interested in working with small busi-
nesses. While there is no guarantee that these businesses
will work with a small firm, contact an SBA commer-
cial market representative to learn how to market prod-
ucts and services to contractors listed in the directory.
The SBAs website offers advice about contracting.
3. Use a competitive edge.
Small businesses should take advantage of their unique-
ness to win contracts. Many government agencies are
now encouraged to do business with minority- or
female-owned business, so owners of companies that
meet the criteria should emphasize that in their paper-
work. The National Minority Supplier Development
Council can help minority-owned small businesses
locate opportunities and the SBA can connect small
businesses with opportunities geared specifically
toward women-owned small businesses and economi-
cally disadvantaged women-owned small businesses.
On a local level, the state government and local
chamber of commerce may have programs in place that
strengthen minority-owned and women-owned small
businesses. Through these programs, entrepreneurs may
be eligible for networking opportunities, business coun-
seling and even database registration that will help them
locate contracting opportunities only available to a
small subset of local businesses.
4. Network.
Both federal and local government agencies that are
actively seeking small business contractors regularly
host government procurement conferences. These
events are a great opportunity to network with govern-
ment officials and attend workshops geared specifically
toward helping small businesses understand the pro-
curement process.
The National Association of State Procurement
Officials site serves as a portal to various state procure-
ment agencies and provides up-to-date news of interest
to small businesses. Use its map to find the procurement
website for a particular state, which is useful for local
bidding opportunities, registering to be a vendor or
learning about upcoming networking opportunities.
