Kansas City Crime Solvers $50,000 Reward

Jerry Barham @ kansascitycrimesolversreward@gmail.com

Dear Elder Cousin,   

On December 24th, 2006 at 5 AM, two individuals broke into my North Kansas City, Missouri residence and viciously attacked and robbed me and a companion.  I was hospitalized for weeks recovering from the brutal beating, followed by several months of physical rehabilitation.
    A kind individual has posted news coverage of the incident and KC Crime Solvers $50,000 Reward onto YouTube and LiveLeak.  Following the advice of the KC Crime Solvers organization, we have started an e-mail campaign to spread the story to as many people as possible in hopes of catching these individuals before they hurt someone else like this.
    Please click on this YouTube link  or this LiveLeak link to view the video and pass along to as many people as you can.  We could use all the help we can get to ensure that nobody else gets hurt and that justice is served.  Thank you.

Sincerely,
Jerry W. Barham
North Kansas City, Missouri

Nestle Very Best in Youth Program

Deadline: November 20, 2008

The Nestle Very Best in Youth Program, sponsored by Nestlé USA, honors young people (ages 13 to 18) who have excelled in school and who are making their community and the world a better place. The young people, selected from nominations from volunteers,
parents, and teachers, will be featured in a special publication and honored at a black-tie ceremony in Los Angeles in July 2009.

To be eligible, applicants must be legal residents of the United States or its territories and be between 13 and 18 years of age. Students will be judged based on the information provided on the entry form (i.e., strong academic record; special contribution to school, church, or community; demonstration of good citizenship or a personal obstacle the youth has overcome).

Judges will select twenty-five outstanding youths to be profiled in a book, which will be published in the summer of 2009. If a winner is unable to attend the awards ceremony, his/her prize will be forfeited and another winner may be selected.

Each winner will also receive a trip with his/her parent or legal guardian to Los Angeles for the Nestlé Very Best In Youth awards ceremony. The trip will include round-trip air travel, hotel
accommodations for three nights, and $500 in spending money. In addition, Nestlé will donate $1,000 in the name of each winner to the charity of his or her choice.

Visit the program's Web site for complete program information and application materials.

Syracuse University - Architecture Scholarships

Sent on behalf of the Sylvia Garner, SCAL President of KPAAPA (Kaiser Permanente African American Professional Association) For addition information, contact Sylvia Garner at 951-549-3275.

Syracuse University has 10 Full Rides for African American Men and Women Interested in Studying Architecture.

Mark Robbins, Dean of Syracuse University's School of Architecture is desperately seeking young men and women of color interested in pursuing a five year professional degree in Architecture. He says he's deeply committed to bringing diversity to his field and has scholarship money set aside to fully cover education costs for 10 students. He says that Hispanic enrollment in the school has increased substantially, but it's been harder to attract Blacks.

Syracuse University's School of Architecture has a great reputation and this seems like a terrific opportunity, so please pass this on to everyone you know. Contact: Mark Robbins, Dean, School of Architecture 315- 443-2255 mailto:robbinsm@syr.edu

We Love Our Friends In Tuvalu!

Tuvalu (IPA: [t:u:'valu]), formerly known as the Ellice Islands, is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean midway between Hawaii and Australia. Its nearest neighbors are Kiribati, Samoa, and Fiji. Comprising four reef islands and five true atolls with a gross land area of just 26 square kilometers (10 sq mi) it is the third-least populated independent country in the world, with only Vatican City and Nauru having fewer inhabitants.

We've been getting a lot of hits from Tuvalu!

Economics of Education

The Truth About Education
 
In his latest book, Economic Facts and Fallacies, Thomas Sowell, provides an in-depth analysis for why much good-intended public policy typically results in disastrous results for the public.  According to Sowell, social engineers and policy “experts” attempt to foster progressive change through the idolatrous worship of fallacies, falsehoods and seductive distortions.  By rejecting economic facts in favor of economic superstitions, such policy wonks do incalculable social harm.

Hello Everyone!


School (college) is back in session and we are back on the air!  Now you can catch us TWO nights during the week!


Here’s a refresher—in case you forgot—Madison and I are DJ Diva’s on Park University’s Radio Station, KGSP Pirate Radio 90.3 FM.  We are volunteers—so this isn’t a paid gig yet—but you never know when we might be discovered and BLOW UP!  I digress… 

 

We are on Wednesdays from 5-7 and also 7-9 on Fridays and we LOVE it.  Check us out—you are more than welcome to travel to Parkville, MO and tune us in, or click on the link below and you can hear and see us LIVE, via the web.  Note: there is a 10-30 video delay, so if you catch us dancing we may LOOK off beat but we really aren’t… really.  We try to keep it up beat but we also tackle some HOT local topics and not so local news and entertainment.

 

Check us out just for kicks!

 

We may give you a shout out!
