CIA Dir. Gen. Petraeus resigns

He submitted his resignation and cited an extra-marital affair as the reason.

WASHINGTON - The CIA director said he was resigning because he had exercised "extremely poor judgment' in conducting an extra-marital affair.

In a statement to the CIA workforce, Petraeus wrote, "Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the president to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA. After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organiza-tion such as ours."

"Dave's decision to step down represents the loss of one of our nation's most respected public ser-vants," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a statement, according to Reuters. "From his long, illustrious Army career to his lead-

ership at the helm of CIA, Dave has redefined what it means to serve and sacrifice for one's country.".

Obama accepted the resignation and said the gen-eral has "made our country safer and stronger," ac-cording to the Associated Press

"I am completely confident that the CIA will continue to thrive and carry out its essential mis-sion, and I have the utmost confidence in Acting Di-rector Michael Morell," Obama said in a written statement, according to Reuters.

Petraeus took over as head of the CIA in Septem-ber of 2011. Before taking over the CIA, he had led the surge into Iraq under former President Bush.

According to ABCNews.com, his wife, Holly, has worked with the Obama administration "to help military families."

NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg endorses Obama

WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg backed President Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney on Thurs-day, saying the incumbent Democrat will bring critically needed leadership to fight climate change after the East Coast devastation wrought by Hurri-cane Sandy.

The endorsement from the politically independent and nationally recog-nizable mayor was a major boost for Obama, who is spending the cam-paign’s final days trying to win over independent voters whose voices will be critical in determining the winner of Tuesday’s election.

Both candidates had eagerly sought the nod from Bloomberg, who did-n’t endorse a presidential candidate in 2008 and has publicly grumbled about both Obama and Romney. But Bloomberg said the possibility that Sandy resulted from climate change had made the stakes of the election that much clearer.

“We need leadership from the White House, and over the past four years, President Barack Obama has taken major steps to reduce our carbon consumption,” Bloomberg wrote in an online opinion piece.

A full-throated stamp of approval this was not. Even as he pledged to cast his vote for Obama’s re-election, Bloomberg faulted the president for discounting centrists, trading in divisive, partisan attacks and failing to make progress on issues like gun control, immigration and the federal defi-cit.

The billionaire businessman and former Republican also praised Rom-ney as a good man who would bring valuable business experience to the White House but said Romney had reversed course on issues like health care and abortion. “If the 1994 or 2003 version of Mitt Romney were run-ning for president, I may well have voted for him,” he said.

Vice President Joe Biden, campaigning in Fort Dodge, Iowa, said the essence of Bloomberg’s endorsement was that “we’ve got to work to-gether.”

“We got to stop this blue, red — I mean we’re a purple nation, man,” Biden said.

Bloomberg’s endorsement could have the effect of injecting climate change and the environment into the national conversation just five days before the end of a campaign where both topics have been virtually absent.

“Our climate is changing,” Bloomberg said. “And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it might be — given

this week’s devastation — should compel all elected leaders to take immedi-ate action.”

To the dismay of environmental activists, climate change never came up during any of the three presidential debates and has been all but absent throughout the rest of the campaign. When Romney invoked the environment in his August speech accepting the Republican nomination, it was to mock his rival for making the issue a priority.

“President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet,” Romney said. “My promise is to help you and your family.”

In his first term, Obama was unable to push limits on carbon emissions through a Democratic Congress and shelved plans to toughen smog stan-dards. But he landed other historic achievements, including an increase in fuel-economy standards and the first regulations on heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming.

Romney, who has expressed doubts about the cause of climate change and charged Obama with punishing coal-fired power plants, wants clear air and water laws amended to balance environmental benefits with economic concerns.

Bloomberg, whose last presidential endorsement was for Republican President George W. Bush’s re-election in 2004, has been a persistent advo-cate for policies intended to combat climate change and had previously faulted both Obama and Romney for failing to offer solutions for gun vio-lence.

Romney advisers, asked about the endorsement, dismissed it as inconse-quential and suggested it would have no bearing on the race outside of New York City.

Although Obama’s campaign has long expected to win New York by a wide margin, independents like Bloomberg hold the key to his second term in battleground states across the country. Obama welcomed the endorsement, pledging in a statement to continue to stand with New York in its time of need.

“While we may not agree on every issue, Mayor Bloomberg and I agree on the most important issues of our time — that the key to a strong economy is investing in the skills and education of our people, that immigration reform is essential to an open and dynamic democracy and that climate change is a threat to our children’s future, and we owe it to them to do something about it,” Obama said.

___ Associated Press writers Steve Peoples in Richmond, Va., and Matthew

Daly in Fort Dodge, Iowa, contributed to this report.



5 days left: Obama returns to the campaign trail with narrow lead

Here’s where the race stands with five days left, as President Obama returns to the campaign trail after canceling his events the last several days for Hurricane Sandy. Remember that among the 41 states that are considered safe for either candidate, Obama has 237 electoral votes, Romney 191. Nine states with a combined 110 elec-toral votes are up for grabs.

Obama’s path to 270: Polls over the last two days have contin-ued to show Obama ahead in Ohio, which is the state both campaigns are saying is very critical to victory. Combining that with his consis-tent leads in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and Wisconsin, and the president would collect 271 electoral votes even if he lost the remain-ing four states. And he seems to be almost even in Colorado, Florida and Virginia. North Carolina is the only one of the nine states Obama has a relatively low shot of winning on Election Day. (Obama has narrow advantages in Wisconsin and New Hampshire, and a six-point lead in Iowa according to new NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist Col-lege polls)

Romney’s path to 270: If Romney wins North Carolina, as ex-pected, he still need to carry the three states where the candidates are essentially tied (Colorado, Florida and Virginia) and one of the places where Obama is the favorite. The clearest path is Ohio, but if he loses there, he could win if he carried Iowa and Wisconsin, a much more unlikely scenario.

The ex-factors: We don’t know if pollsters are overstating Obama’s strength in Ohio, but he has led in all but one of the last nine surveys of the state. A jobs report being released on Friday will get extensive press coverage, although it’s not clear how many voters it will affect, as unemployment has long been high.



McCarthy Takes Aerial Tour to Assess Storm Damage and Joins

L.I. Congressional Delegation in Call for Full Funding of Storm Relief

GARDEN CITY, NY (Oct. 30, 2012) – Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY4) took an aerial tour of Nassau and Suffolk Counties with the United States Coast Guard and other members of the Long Island Congressional delegation today to assess the damage left behind by Hurricane Sandy.

“I haven’t seen storm damage this bad in my lifetime here on Long Island,” Rep. McCarthy said. “It’s time to restore power and make our roads, transit and drinking water safe as quickly as possible so that resi-dents and businesses can resume their lives as soon as possible. I’m in close contact with federal, state and local officials and am committed to helping make sure that government agencies and utilities like LIPA waste no time in the recovery effort.”

In conference calls with FEMA, LIPA and Governor Cuomo’s office today and yesterday, Rep. McCarthy and her staff flagged several of the most urgent issues, including: the need for LIPA to restore electricity as soon as possible; the need for state and federal officials to assist LIPA in clearing local roads; and the need for state and federal officials to assist local cities, towns and villages with contaminated water supplies, espe-cially along the south shore of Nassau County where the storm surge was the strongest.

Rep. McCarthy also joined her Congressional colleagues on Long Island today in sending a bipartisan letter to House Speaker John Boehner and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi urging them to make funding for post-Sandy relief a top priority when Congress convenes.

“The overwhelming need to act quickly to prevent further human suffering, to restore our districts and so many affected communities and families along the East Coast makes it imperative that hurricane relief and recovery should be the first order of business once Congress reconvenes,” the letter states. “It is critical that Congress act immediately to ensure our neighbors across the Northeast have access to the resources they need to rebuild homes, businesses and communities. We stand ready to work with you, and our colleagues in Congress, towards this aim.”

Rep. McCarthy noted several resources for Long Islanders dealing with the aftermath of Sandy:

Long Islanders may call 800-621-3362 to register for individual or household-level FEMA assistance.

Long Islanders may call 211, a number managed by the United Way in partnership with NYS Dept. of Homeland Security, for relief informa-tion such as the locations of shelters and other types of assistance.

The American Red Cross may be reached at 877-733-2767 for ac-cess to its shelter and food assistance programs.

The News12 Long Island television station is simulcasting on the radio at 1100 AM and 98.3 FM and Newsday.com is subscription-free at this time during storm relief operations.

Rep. McCarthy Visits Nassau County

Emergency Command Center

[PHOTO CAPTION: Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, Rep. Peter King and Legislator Rose Walker met with federal, state and local officials at the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management's command center in Bethpage on Wednesday, Oct. 31.]

BETHPAGE, NY (Oct. 31, 2012) – Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY4) met with federal, state and local officials working at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center in Bethpage, getting updates about the relief and recovery efforts going on in Nassau County to-day.

“I want to thank you for your service and everything you’re doing for the people of Long Island,” Rep. McCarthy told the staff and vol-unteers at the Center. “Getting power back up and the streets safe again are so important right now and a facility like this helps every-one work together more efficiently.”

In addition to the restoration of electricity and the clearing of roads, Rep. McCarthy also relayed concerns about drinking water quality across Nassau County to the officials at the Center.

The Morrelly Center serves as a command center for the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management, where representatives from multiple agencies at all levels of government work in one open bullpen to coordinate efforts and cut bureaucracy and red tape.

Local utilities like LIPA and National Grid also have staff at the Morrelly Center in order to coordinate with officials to clear roads and restore service to customers.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY3), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, was also at the Center, as was County Legislator Rose Walker, during Rep. McCarthy’s visit.













MANGANO AND ELECTED OFFICIALS URGE FEDS TO ASSIST POWER RESTORATION IN

NASSAU Mineola, NY – Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano today joined with Federal, State and local officials in urging

the Federal government to oversee LIPA power restoration in Nassau County. Joined by United States Congressmen Peter King and Steve Israel, State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto, County Executive Mangano stated that Long Island’s power is past the point of crisis and is on the abyss of changing the lives of tens of thousands of citizens.

“Over the last 11 days, I have spent much time with individuals whose voices are not being heard but whose cries for help are defining the extent of our region’s anguish and pain. I have seen the pain of a single mom in Island Park who is still without power and an Oceanside grandmother who still hasn’t seen a LIPA truck. I met a family in a Uniondale shelter who doesn’t know when they will return home and a family in a Merrick warming shelter wondering how they will return to a 44 degree home,” stated County Executive Mangano. “To put it into terms that Washington can readily understand, LIPA’s power is at Defcon Two. The power condition is beyond urgent. The Federal government must shake up and wake up LIPA to get the power turned on.”

Since Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island shores 11 days ago, LIPA has demonstrated an inability to communicate with resi-dents on how and when they will get the power restored. Every resident who is without power is also without information. While LIPA linesmen have been working day and night to restore power, it’s clear that LIPA management has once again fallen down on the job. Governor Cuomo was 100% right – LIPA and National Grid must be held accountable like never before.

County Executive Mangano requested that the Federal government send every resource at their disposal to help get the power back on. This approach makes sense as the defense logistics agency has come to the assistance of many municipalities throughout the nation.

The time is now for FEMA to harness all of the Federal government's resources, including the full use of the Department of Energy's Federal Power Act section 202(c) emergency authority and the technical assistance and expertise of the Army Corps of Engi-neers, along with pumps, generators, and debris re-moval assistance, to restore power. Long Island needs Federal partners to develop a clear restoration plan and communications structure, to be strictly adhered to by LIPA, to provide families and seniors with the information they deserve and finally restore their power.

Congressman Peter P. King, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, stated, “LIPA’s performance following Hurricane Sandy has been completely abysmal. It has been nearly 2 weeks since the storm; the LIPA-led status quo has clearly failed the residents of Long Island who re-main in the dark and in the cold. Congressman Israel and I are calling on President Obama to ensure that Federal agencies do everything possible to dramati-cally improve the pace of power restoration as well as the flow of information to customers who deserve to have their normal lives restored.”

“Almost two weeks after Hurricane Sandy, LIPA customers are still in the dark with LIPA power lines and communications lines still down,” stated Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray. “A combination of constantly changing policies, poor communications and management void has left hun-dreds of thousands of customers with little clear in-formation on LIPA's power restoration plan and even less of an idea when they may expect power restored. It's time for LIPA to tell customers the truth, be ac-countable and restore power, now!”

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto stated, “The lack of communication between LIPA and its rate payers, the very people to whom they are beholden, has been incredulous since Sandy hit our area. The residents of the Town of Oyster Bay have been through enough. They are frustrated and con-fused by the constant posting and then changing of the rules on a seemingly daily basis. LIPA has con-sistently demonstrated a complete lack of prepared-ness, a lack of assuming whole responsibility for the restoration of their power grid, and a lack of being able to provide answers. Our residents and their cus-tomers deserve better. In light of all this, the time has come that there is a need for the kind of assistance that the County Executive is requesting.”

nounced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will open for homeowners, renters, and business owners who sustained as a result of

Hurricane Sandy. Specialists from the State of New York, FEMA, and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will be on hand to answer questions and

Mangano: No Deductible on Hurricane Insurance Claims

Mineola, NY – Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced today that New York homeowners will not be responsible for hurricane deductibles on insurance claims that are being filed on the heels of Hurricane Sandy.

County Executive Mangano said that Governor Andrew Cuomo informed the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) that Hurricane Sandy did not have sustained hurricane-force winds when it made landfall in New York, therefore insurance de-ductibles would not be triggered. DFS then notified officials for the insurance industry that homeowners should not be responsible for paying the deductibles on their policies.

“This announcement is really great news for many homeowners who I am sure were concerned about the extremely high costs of de-ductibles for insurance claims from Hurricane Sandy,” said County Executive Mangano. “Every little thing that works in the favor of homeowners is a blessing. The devastation of this storm will be felt for weeks to come as people attempt to reclaim their lives. Having to pay exorbitant deductibles on top of the costs for personal loss would be adding salt to the wound.”

Many downstate homeowners have insurance policies that contain hurricane deductibles based on a percentage of a property’s insured value. The deductibles can range from one percent to five percent of that value. Therefore, a home insured for $300,000 with a five per-

Hurricane Sandy: A Wake Up Call for our Region’s Infrastructure

Long Island received the brunt of Hurricane Sandy's damaging winds and storm surge, causing numerous trees to come down while lower-lying areas were flooded, and rendering over 90% of LIPA's customers without service along with delays and damage to our re-gion’s transportation systems. This disaster is a wake up call for our region’s infrastructure that we will all be working on post Sandy. As we pick ourselves up and begin to clean up the damage it's important to remember that you're not alone and that everyone could use a help-ing hand to recover from the disaster. Kudos to the region’s transit workers, utility workers, volunteers, first responders, and regular folks who are simply helping the community repair and restore the reckage from the storm.

Many downtowns have power and are slowly back in business: Vision has heard from residents and businesses in downtowns

across Long Island that have power and are slowly recovering from the storm. To date we have heard from the following 30 downtown business districts that are at least partially up and running:

NASSAU: Bellmore, Baldwin, Bethpage, Farmingdale, Freeport, Garden City, Glen Cove, Great Neck, Hempstead, Hewlett, Hicks-ville, Manhasset, Rockville Centre, Seaford, Westbury

SUFFOLK: Amityville, Babylon, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Greenlawn, Greenport, Huntington, Huntington Station, Lake Ron-konkoma, Lindenhurst, Northport, Patchogue, Riverhead, Sag Har-bor, Southampton. A little over 20 downtown business districts are still out of power but will be coming back online in the coming days.

Below are emergency links in case anyone was still looking for a place to charge phones or even just a place with heat so you can warm up for a little while. Keep in mind that this list is not exhaus-tive and only what we were able to find out via word-of-

cent deductible would be required to pay the first $15,000 of the costs of damage. Insurers will be monitored by DFS to ensure that claims are being handled properly and that they are responding in an expeditious manner once a claim has been filed. DFS will be sending its mobile command center to areas that have been hardest hit to assist claimants with answering questions and handling problems.

DFS urged property owners who experienced losses to file insur-ance claims with their insurers promptly. They advised that homeown-ers have their policy number and all relevant information handy when filing the claim. All damages must be documented with photos or vid-eos that illustrate the extent of the loss prior to clearing any of the dam-age. Only repairs, like broken windows, that are necessary to prevent further damage to property, should be undertaken. Permanent repairs should not be made until insurers have conducted a complete inspec-tion. Any personal property that has suffered damage should be re-tained until an insurance settlement has been reached.

County Executive Mangano reminds homeowners to be coopera-tive and to maintain a log of all conversations they have had with their insurance agent, including the agent’s name and dates and times of the calls or visits. Those with flood damage should make claims through their flood insurance which is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a federal program.

DFS has activated a Disaster Hotline to handle consumer questions and assist with problems. That number is 800-339-1759 and is staffed Monday through Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm. Homeowners who are unable to resolve disputes with insurers can file complaints at http://www.dfs.ny.gov/consumer/fileacomplaint.htm.

FREEPORT’S RECOVERY AND

RESTORATION UPDATE Freeport Electric has pulled through for their constituents and

has successfully re-activated nearly all of the properties in its municipality.

While many other municipalities across Long Island predicted extended wait periods before service reactivation, in under a week, Freeport Electric has returned power to almost all of its customers. Freeport Electric has reactivated 95% of its power but due to severe flood related damages, several properties cannot have their electrical services restored. The substantial damages to these properties prevent the ability to reactivate them. Mayor Hardwick is urging these and other displaced individuals to reach out and express their concerns.

On Saturday, November 10, 2012 beginning at 7:00PM, Mayor Andrew Hardwick will be hosting a Q&A at the Freeport Recreation Center located at 130 E. Merrick Road in Freeport. This Q&A is for Freeport residents, businesses, and media to dis-cuss the ongoing restoration process for this resilient Village. Participants include: Freeport Electric and various Village de-partment representatives, FEMA, National Grid, Verizon, Cable-vision, the Small Business Association, Local Small Businesses, and Health Care Professionals. Hot meals will be provided from 5:00PM-7:00PM. For those who are displaced, this will be the ideal opportunity to gain access to all of the post hurricane re-sources available in Freeport.



Mitt Romney discusses African-American economic empowerment with Black Enterprise

Mitt Romney, GOP presidential contender, spoke to Black Enter-prise recently in a rare interview to targeted African-American press. Perhaps because he is so closely aligned with business, the focus of the publication that secured the interview, Romney felt secure in tak-ing this opportunity to address this voter segment that many feel he has neglected. Yet, Derek T. Dingle, author of the resulting story, seeks to remind readers that Romney has made definite efforts at black community outreach.

“Although polls show that his support from African Americans is almost nil,” Dingle writes, “the former Massachusetts governor and ex-CEO of private equity firm Bain Capital has engaged in some ac-tivities to reach out to African American voters through his appear-ance at this year’s NAACP convention, the release of a targeted cam-paign commercial featuring African American endorsers, [the] instal-lation of a black political advisory group and recruitment of high-profile GOP operative and conservative pundit Tara Wall as a senior communications adviser to advance his message.”

In speaking with Dingle, Romney reiterated in different ways his intention to level the playing field economically for African-Americans without relying on or creating new programs that specifi-cally address financial disparities.

“My ambition is to target and encourage small business. I don’t have plans to provide a special set-aside for minority-owned busi-nesses other than the programs that currently exist,” Romney told Black Enterprise. “So, I will continue to encourage small businesses to grow, and to be the most pro-business president we’ve seen in a long, long time.”

For Romney, being pro-business means rolling back what he terms “Obama era regulations,” taking on perceived threats from China, and lowering the personal income tax rate significantly be-cause, “Most small businesses, as you know, are taxed as individuals, not as corporations,” the Republican nominee said. “So, I want to take the top marginal rate from 35% to 28%. And I want to cut all the other marginal rates by 20% across the board. That allows small business to keep more capital and grow their enterprise.”

When asked about empowering entities like the Minority Busi-ness Development Agency to further increase African-Americans’ access to capital and other resources, Romney admitted that, “I don’t know a good deal about the program,” adding, “So I’m not going to tell you it’s going to be eliminated or cut because I just don’t know enough about it or about how effective it’s been in terms of it stimu-lating minority business investment.”

The former governor of Massachusetts believes — similar to President Obama’s “rising tide lifts all boats” theory of jobs creation — that race will not be a factor in addressing unemployment.

“I see it being 6% or less by the end of my [first] term,” Romney said of the national unemployment rate. “The best thing I could do to help African American unemployment is to create growth of the overall economy which will lead to greater employment overall.”

Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos, Executive

Edward P. Mangano, and Commissioner of Consumer Affairs Madalyn F. Farley Warn of Price Gouging at

Hotels and Other Businesses

Mineola, NY- Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and Commissioner of Consumer Affairs Madalyn F. Farley are warning residents who are forced to use local hotels, motels or other services to report any incidents where they feel price gouging occurred.

“My office has received calls from residents, who are trying to piece their lives back together after the devasta-tion of Hurricane Sandy, claiming to be quoted a certain price over the phone for various services and then being charged a different amount when it comes time to pay,” Comptroller George Maragos said. “It would be an unac-ceptable and deplorable thing for businesses to try and take advantage of individuals in desperate need for basic ser-vices.”

County Executive Ed Mangano stated, "I ordered con-sumer affairs investigators into our communities to prevent price gouging. If you're ripping off our residents, we'll find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law."

If you feel that price gouging is occurring, please report it to Consumer Affairs at 516-571-2600 or contact the Comptroller’s Office at 516-571-2383.

Suffolk Man Charged With

Stealing $35K from Bethpage Church

Campbell forged checks as volunteer treasurer of East Meadow Church of Christ

MINEOLA, N.Y. - Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice announced today that a Suffolk man has been arrested and charged with

stealing $35,000 from the Bethpage church where he served as treas-urer.

Derrick Campbell, 43, of West Babylon, was arrested this morning by DA Investigators and charged with Grand Larceny in the Third De-gree and Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second De-gree. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in First District Court, Hempstead.

Rice said that from June 2008 to May 2011, Campbell stole ap-proximately $35,000 from the East Meadow Church of Christ in Beth-page. Campbell, who acted as the church’s volunteer treasurer, forged and deposited numerous checks drawn on the church’s checking ac-count to pay for personal expenses like gas, fast food, groceries, and at least one mortgage payment.

None of the payments were authorized by the church. Most of the checks, almost all of which were pre-signed, were purportedly issued as a loan repayment to Campbell despite no such loan existing. The church’s board of trustees referred the matter to the DA’s Office last August after Campbell told them he had stolen the money.

“Mr. Campbell was trusted with a position of responsibility in the church, but he violated the trust of every parishioner who thought that their donations were being used for the betterment of the church and its community,” Rice said. “He did everything he could to cover his tracks, but today’s arrest was inevitable when he forged that first check.”

Assistant District Attorneys Peter Mancuso and Edward Bradley of the Government & Consumer Frauds Bureau are prosecuting the case for the DA’s Office. Campbell is represented by Milton Grunwald, Esq.

Life Changing Words

Be Prayerful Not Careful

(Phil 4:6-7 KJV) “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

In everything we do in life our first action should always be to consult God. How do we do that? We do it through prayer. Prayer should be a dialogue not a monologue. When you petition God for any-thing you should be expecting an answer from Him. In reality no Christian should attempt to achieve or perform anything without first asking God what is His will. An important part of prayer is discerning God’s will and aligning yourselves with it. When you pray for that which you know pleases God, you can pray with confidence.

That is why Gods word says be careful for noth-ing. To be careful insinuates that you are worried about making an error. See let’s look at the word careful and its definition. It means to be attentive to potential danger, error or harm: cautious, full of cares or anxiety. When you are careful in all things you are trusting yourself or something that is natu-ral but when you are prayerful your trust should be in God. See it is hard to trust a God who you have no experience or a relationship with. Trusting God requires faith in Him and His word. Knowing that He never fails and His word will never return unto Him void but it will accomplish that which He said and in the thing and/or person in which He sends it. Prayer and supplication presents a cure for worry-ing for when we begin to pray Thanksgiving is pre-sent.

Now thanksgiving begins to take you back to what God has brought you through and all He has done for you. This in turn increases your faith and dependence on Him. For you begin to think if He has done it before surely He can and will do it again. Maybe even greater works shall He do this time because your trust and dependence has de-

manded a great expectation from the Lord. You as a believer can receive and conceive the impossible or the unattainable when you are in a realm of expecta-tion. For when your faith increases your revelation increases, which will, give you supernatural wisdom and understanding and this is where the peace comes in.

See the peace that surpasses all understanding is a sanctifying peace that goes beyond human compre-hension. This is why this peace can keep your heart and minds because it is from God and not from this world. For surely the Creator, which is Christ, can and will keep the creation (which is man) in perfect peace whose mind stays on Him.

Budweiser seeks removal from Denzel Washington’s ‘Flight’

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Denzel Washington’s character in “Flight” drinks a lot throughout the film, but his portrayal of a highly functioning alcoholic pilot isn’t going down well with brewing com-pany Anheuser-Busch or the distributor of Stolichnaya vodka.

Anheuser-Busch said Monday that it has asked Paramount Pic-tures Corp. to obscure or remove the Budweiser logo from the film, which at one point shows Washington’s character drinking the beer while behind the wheel.

Budweiser is hardly the only alcoholic beverage shown in “Flight,” which earned $25 million in its debut weekend and is likely to remain popular with audiences. Washington’s character frequently drinks vodka throughout the film, with several different brands repre-sented. William Grant & Sons, which distributes Stolichnaya in the United States, also said it didn’t license its brand for inclusion in the film and wouldn’t have given permission if asked.

Although product placement, where companies pay producers to have their brands seen on-camera, have become ubiquitous in movies and television, experts say studios are not obligated to get permission before featuring a product in their work.

Rob McCarthy, vice president of Budweiser, wrote in a statement to The Associated Press that the company wasn’t contacted by Para-mount or the production company of director Robert Zemeckis for permission to use the beer in “Flight.”

“We would never condone the misuse of our products, and have a long history of promoting responsible drinking and preventing drunk driving,” McCarthy wrote. “We have asked the studio to obscure the Budweiser trademark in current digital copies of the movie and on all subsequent adaptations of the film, including DVD, On Demand, streaming and additional prints not yet distributed to theaters.”

A spokesman for Zemeckis referred questions to Paramount, which did not return an email message seeking comment.

James Curich, a spokesman for Stoli distributor William Grant &

Sons, said the company has a strict code for how the vodka is por-trayed in films and is committed to marketing it responsibly. “Considering the subject matter of this film, it is not something in which we would have participated,” he wrote in an email.

Despite the companies’ dissatisfaction with their inclusion in the film, experts say there is little they can do about it legally.

Trademark laws “don’t exist to give companies the right to con-trol and censor movies and TV shows that might happen to include real-world items,” said Daniel Nazer, a resident fellow at Stanford Law School’s Fair Use Project. “It is the case that often filmmakers get paid by companies to include their products. I think that’s sort of

First Look: The Game’s new reality show

Following in the footsteps of Lil Scrappy and Stevie J, West coast emcee The Game has an up-coming reality show.

In Game Marrying The Game viewers get to see the Compton gangsta rapper in a different light as we see him as a loving father and soon to be hus-band with his fiance, Tiffany Cambridge.

In a teaser trailer for the show, we witness the up and down relationship with the soon to be newly-weds and its alluded that the wedding may not even happen due to Game’s rapper lifestyle.



led to a culture where they expect they’ll have control. That’s not a right the trademark law gives them.”

Jay Dougherty, a professor at Loyola Law School, said the use of brands in films has generally been protected by the courts, even when the companies aren’t pleased with the portrayals.

“It wouldn’t have been as effective a film if they used a bunch of non-generic brands,” said Dougherty, who is also the director of the school’s Entertainment & Media Law Institute. “In a normal situation, if the alcohol were just there as a smaller part of the movie, they might have created an artificial brand for it.”

Other vodka brands, including Absolut and Smirnoff, are also in-cluded in the film. Representatives of those companies did not return messages seeking comment.

Paramount has some experience with a company upset with its in-clusion in a film. In 2003 the studio won a case after the makers of the “Slip ‘N Slide” sued over the use of the product in the film “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star.”

In that case, a court found that requiring Paramount to alter the film and its marketing would “generate more hardship than it allevi-ates.”

Dougherty and Mark Partridge, a Chicago intellectual property lawyer, also noted that a court rejected an effort to get by Caterpillar Inc. to get its logo removed from tractors driven by the villains in 2003′s “George of the Jungle 2.” The company had argued its trade-mark was harmed by having its product associated with the film’s vil-lains.

Partridge said with the explosion of product placement in recent years, a company might try to make an argument that by the brand ap-pearing in a film, the audience assumed it had granted permission. “You’d have to have proof that people actually making an association and believing it was authorized,” he said.

“It might be a different world,” he said, adding, “I still think it’s an uphill haul.”

A-list comedy stars pay tribute to Eddie Murphy in upcoming special ‘One Night Only’

There are three things to know about the enigma that is Eddie Murphy: 1) his humor is evergreen; 2) his list of admirers reads like the royal family of comedy; 3) he greatly dislikes hearing people rave about him.

Nevertheless, for literally One Night Only, Spike TV’s upcoming tribute special to the comic icon, Murphy sat back, smiled, and let his friends, colleagues, and protégés take over the stage to pay homage to his 30-plus years in show business.

“It feels nice, I think,” the 51-year-old actor told theGrio on his way into the event Saturday (November 3) at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. “I’ll know on the way out how it felt more.”

It took years of convincing to persuade the superstar to agree with the honorary celebration, but the turnout and showcase indicated a deep desire has been burning within the entertainment community for some time. The show featured famous scenes from some of Murphy’s most popular films and shows, including Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America and The Nutty Professor, along with clips from his days on Saturday Night Live and two comedy specials, Delirious and Raw.

Those who paid homage to the comedian included actors, come-dians, and industry colleagues like Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Rock, Tyler Perry, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Tracy Morgan, Mar-tin Lawrence, Adam Sandler, Charlie Murphy, Russell Brand, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Brett Ratner and Arsenio Hall.

“As talented as Eddie is, he doesn’t necessarily like to have peo-ple kiss his ass for an hour and a half,” Hall told theGrio. “That’s hard. That’s awkward. But he deserves it and he needs to do it. And I think his brother talked him into it – Vernon [Lynch] – who is one of the producers on this. He was like, ‘You need to have this; they’ve

done Tom Green twice! Do this.’”

Hall also described the impression his Coming to America co-star made on the field of humor.

“When I first started doing comedy, comics were monologists – straight up, stand-up, punch line type guys,” he said. “Set up – punch line; set up – punch line. Eddie brought a certain kind of versatility to it…He broke stand-up out of the mold of a guy with a microphone just talking. Now, it’s like LeBron – the next guy after LeBron is gonna have to fly. And after Eddie, he put the bar high. And guys had to really bring it cause he did so much.”

Murphy first broke out in comedy around 1980 when he joined the cast of SNL, bringing noteworthy hilarity with sketches like “Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood,” “Little Richard Simmons,” and the fa-mous characters he devised in “Velvet Jones,” and “Buckwheat.” Two years later, he was doing movies, starring alongside Nick Nolte in the action comedy feature 48 Hours.

From that point on, Murphy’s credits rolled like hard edge jokes from his tongue. In 1983, at the age of 22, he debuted his first com-edy concert special, Delirious, an honest, high energy, flamboyant show tackling issues of race, celebrity, relationships and childhood. Four years later, he followed it up with a second special, Raw, which remains the highest-grossing comedy concert film of all-time, raking in over $50 million.

“We were kids. We were friends, and it was just a fun,” Wayans, who produced Raw, recalled. “There was no pressure. There wasn’t a minute that we didn’t think it was going to be funny, that it was going to work. So, to be in an environment like that, that’s a once in a life-time thing.”

He adds, “When you look at Eddie’s achievement, you can see how far that we’ve all come because there is no one prior to Eddie that has this much body of work; this much success; this much box office; this much repeatability; this much worldwide appeal. He’s a phenomenon and the legacy he’s left has paved the way for an entire generation of comedians.”

Among those successors was Murphy’s older brother, Charlie, who attended the event with his mother and other members of the family. Charlie says his greatest memory of his younger sibling was watching his first live show.

“[Eddie] did an impression of Al Green, and came out with this suit on,” he remembered. “It was excellent. That was a real memora-ble moment. It made me scream. I won’t admit that to a lot of peo-ple.”

The Roots served as house band for the tribute, which will air Wednesday, November 14, and special guest performer Stevie Won-der further sang Murphy’s praises with “My Cherie Amour,” as well as a duet with the comedian on “Higher Ground.” Wonder pointed out that even those being spoofed by the comic, like himself, could enjoy the humor.

“To me, that’s human,” the singer said.

Murphy spoke briefly at the end of the event, saying it felt like someone had been “singing Happy Birthday” to him for hours and he was “Eddie-d out.” Asked about his own legacy, he says uncertain.

“I don’t know,” he said. “I think I did my thing.”

B. B. KING Throughout the 1990's as well as the 1980's, 1970's,

1960's and 1950's, there has been only one King of the Blues - Riley B. King, affectionately known as B.B. King. Since B.B. started recording in the late 1940's, he has released over 60 albums many of them considered blues classics, like 1965's definitive live blues album "Live At The Regal", and 1976's collaboration with Bobby "Blue" Bland, "Together For The First Time".

Over the years, B.B. has had two number one R & B hits, 1951's "Three O'Clock Blues", and 1952's "You Don't Know Me", and four number two R & B hits, 1953's "Please Love Me", and 1954's "You Upset Me Baby", 1960's "Sweet Sixteen, Part I", and 1966's "Don't Answer The Door, Part I". B.B.'s most popular cross-over hit, 1970's "The Thrill Is Gone" went to #15 pop.

But B.B. King, as well as the entire blues genre, is not radio oriented. His classic songs such as "Payin' The Cost To Be The Boss", "Caldonia", " How Blue Can You Get", "Everyday I Have The Blues", and "Why I Sing The Blues", are concert (and fan) staples.

Riley B. King was born on September 16, 1925, on a cotton plantation in Itta Bene, Mississippi, just outside the Mississippi delta town of Indianola. He used to play on the corner of Church and Second Street for dimes and would sometimes play in as many as four towns on a Saturday night. With his guitar and $2.50, he hitch-hiked north to Memphis, Tennessee, in 1947 to pursue his musical career. Memphis was the city where every important musician of the South gravitated and which supported a large, competitive musical community where virtually every black musical style was heard. B.B. stayed with his cousin Bukka White, one of the most renowned rural blues performers of his time, who schooled B.B. further in the art of the blues.

B.B.'s first big break came in 1948 when he per-formed on Sonny Boy Williamson's radio program on KWEM out of West Memphis. This led to steady per-formance engagements at the Sixteenth Avenue Grill in West Memphis and later to a ten minute spot on black staffed and managed radio station WDIA. "King's Spot", sponsored by Pepticon, a health tonic, became so popular that it was increased in length and became the "Sepia Swing Club". Soon, B.B. needed a catchy radio name. What started out as Beale Street Blues Boy was shortened to Blues Boy King, and eventually B.B. King. Incidentally, King's middle initial "B" is just that, it is not an abbreviation.

In the mid-1950's while B.B. was performing at a dance in Twist, Arkansas, a few fans became unruly. Two men got into a fight and knocked over a kerosene stove, setting fire to the hall. B.B. raced outdoors to safety with everyone else, but then realized that he left his $30 guitar inside, so he rushed back inside to re-trieve it, narrowly escaping death. When he later found out that the fight had been over a woman named Lucille, he decided to give the name to his guitar. Each one of B.B.'s guitars since that time have been called Lucille.

Soon after his number one hit, "Three O'Clock

Blues", B.B. began touring nationally, and he has never stopped, performing an average of 125 concerts a year. In 1956 B.B. and his band played an astonishing 342 one night stands. From the chitlin circuit with its small town cafes, ghetto theaters, country dance halls, and roadside joints to jazz clubs, rock palaces, symphony concert halls, college concerts, resort hotels and prestig-ious concert halls nationally and internationally, B.B. has become the most renowned blues musician of the past 60 years.

B.B.'s technique is nonetheless complex, featuring

delicate filigrees of single string runs punctuated by loud chords, subtle vibratos, and "bent" notes. The technique of rock guitar playing is to a large degree de-rived from B.B.'s playing.

In the army, B.B. was introduced to the music of

such guitarists as Charlie Christian and T-Bone Walker. "I heard an electric guitar that wasn't playing spiritual", recalls B.B. "It was T-Bone Walker doing "Stormy

Monday", and that was the prettiest sound I think I ever heard in my life. That's what really started me to play the blues".

Over the years, B.B. has developed one of the world's most

readily identified guitar styles. He borrowed from Lonnie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker and others, integrating his precise vocal like string bends and his left hand vibrato, both of which have become indispensable com-ponents of rock guitarist's vocabulary. His economy, his every note counts phrasing, has been a model for thousands of players including Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Jeff Beck.

FITINGO MUSIC PRESENTS EN

VOGUE & LILLO THOMAS

AT THE NYCB THEATRE AT WESTBURY - SATURDAY,

NOVEMBER 10 WESTBURY, NY – FITINGO MUSIC presents “An Evening of

Sophisticated Soul” starring En Vogue and Lillo Thomas at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Saturday, November 10 at 8 p.m. Special guests James “D Train” Williams and Cherelle also appear. Tickets are $69.50, $49.50 and $39.50 and are available at www.livenation.com, the Westbury box office or charge by phone at 800-745-3000. Event, date and time are subject to change. Tickets are subject to applicable service charges. For further information, please visit www.thetheatreatwestbury.com. For membership infor-mation, visit www.westburymembership.com.

En Vogue is one of the best selling female groups of all time. The R&B Grammy nominated ladies bring their sophisticated sass and flawless harmonies to each of their live performances. They burst onto the music scene in 1990 with their debut album, BORN TO SING featuring the crossover smash hit “Hold On.” The album featured two more number one hits, “Lies” and “You Don’t Have To Worry.” By the time they released their second album, FUNKY DI-VAS, they were bonafide superstars. The album featured the number one R&B hits, “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” and “Giving Him Something He Can Feel.” In 1994 they partnered with SALT ‘N’ PEPA for chart topping hit, “Whatta Man.”

Lillo Thomas, the Brooklyn born R&B crooner, ruled the 80’s airwaves with his hits and Track & Field with his speed. At age 16, he set the world record for the 200 yard dash. Already a hit maker with his 1983 debut “You’re A Good Girl,” he qualified for the 1984 Summer Olympics, but an auto accident kept him from competing. He toured with Eddie Murphy in 1985 and hits like “Sexy Girl,” “I’m In Love,” “Downtown,” and “Wanna Make Love (All Night Long)” made 1987 a banner year for this gifted vocalist.

James “D Train” Williams will perform hits including “You’re The One For Me,” his “D Train Theme,” and “Keep On.”

Cherrelle debuted on the R&B charts with the TOP TEN hit, “I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On.” She continued to create hit records with her mentors Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis including “Everything I Miss at Home,” “When I Look Into Your Eyes” and also charted a couple duets with Alexander O’Neal – “Saturday Love” and “Never Knew Love Like This.”

Nicki Minaj talks ‘My Truth’ with theGrio: ‘Older black women…just write me off’

Last night, the premiere episode of Nicki Minaj’s three-part real-ity series Nicki Minaj: My Truth premiered on E!. The show gives viewers a behind-the-scenes perspective of what the rapper’s life is like right now, as she is recording her new album Pink Friday: Ro-man Reloaded, appearing a judge on American Idol, and prepping for her first worldwide arena tour.

During a scene from My Truth that aired last night, Minaj re-vealed her frustration over how she is viewed amongst black women. “People purposefully don’t see the strides I made for hip-hop and black women in general,” she said while in a studio recording her newly-released track “Freedom.”

Today, Minaj went into depth about why she feels black women just ‘write her off’ during an interview with theGrio’s Chris Witherspoon.

People hear me talk sometimes and they think I’m trying to be cocky. No, I’m trying to be real. I’m trying to give facts. Me coming out and having and album that went number 1 in Japan, Australia, U.K, and the U.S.; name one female rapper that’s ever done it. You can’t. When I say things like that, I’m not discredit-ing anyone. Again I want to say I respect and love every female rapper that paved the way for me, okay, but I do think that peo-ple don’t respect the roads I’m now paving for others.

For instance, there has never been a black woman judging American Idol. That is the biggest TV show in America and a black woman has never been represented on the show, number one. That is the biggest TV show in America, and I don’t think people understand that.

I’m sitting here right now in my dressing room about to play to a sold out crowd at the 02 arena in Ireland. Name a female rapper that’s ever done it and I will give you $100,000.

There are certain things that I have to say because of the scrutiny that I get. For goodness sake I just did a Pepsi commercial. I did

a multi-million dollar Pepsi campaign. Name one female rapper that’s done that. You can’t.

A lot of times within the black community, especially the older black women, they kinda just write me off. And I think it’s im-portant for you to look at the companies that I’ve done business with and realize that every time I do a campaign and it’s a suc-cessful campaign, we show mainstream America that black women can sell a product and that black women are influential and that we can have our own people support something that we support. And so that’s what I want black women to understand. I’m not asking you to love everything I do. But I’m asking you to keep it real with yourself and really see exactly what I have been doing. It’s very important that they realize these things weren’t really being done like this before Nicki Minaj.

Part 2 of Nicki Minaj: My Truth will air Sunday 10:30 pm ET/PT on E!



Denzel Washington’s 10 greatest movie roles

With five Academy Award nominations and two wins, Denzel Washington is the most acclaimed African-American actor in modern Hollywood history. A consistently popular leading man, his career on the big screen has spanned nearly thirty years and includes forays into genres as diverse as thrillers, romantic comedies and dramatic biopics. In more ways than one, he is the consummate movie star.

He’s also rarely made a completely awful film (ok, well maybe Virtuosity) and so it’s hard to single out his best performance. Never-theless, theGrio has given it a try. Some of our picks for the best per-formances from this beloved Hollywood icon include: American Gangster, Antwone Fisher, Glory, Inside Man, Malcolm X, and The Hurricane.

As his latest film Flight opens this weekend to rave reviews and plenty of Oscar buzz, we take a look back at this beloved actor’s best work.

10) Philadelphia (1993)

Although Tom Hanks rightfully won a lot of praise (and the Oscar) for his performance as a gay lawyer axed by his firm because he’d contracted AIDS, Denzel actually has the more difficult role. He plays a homophobic ambulance chaser who begrudgingly accepts Hanks’ character’s case and comes to fight his own prejudices in the process.

9) Antwone Fisher (2002)

Denzel took over the director’s chair for the first time in this touching film inspired by a true story. Antwone Fisher is an intro-verted young man haunted by demons from his past. Denzel uses his considerable gravitas and good humor to coax the Fisher character (played by Derek Luke) out of his shell. The finale shouldn’t leave a single dry eye in the house.

8) Inside Man (2006)

In this his fourth collaboration with Spike Lee, Denzel puts a charming spin on his role as a hostage negotiator dogged by corrup-tion claims who is caught in the middle of a very twisted bank heist. This is major movie star bravado at its best.



7) Remember The Titans (2000)

Through the sheer grittiness of his performance, Denzel was able to transform this hokey, albeit true, story of football coach Herman Boone, who successfully integrated T. C. Williams High School’s football team in the early 1970s, into a modern day sports classic.

6) American Gangster (2007)

Denzel’s ice-cold portrayal of legendary Harlem gangster Frank Lucas helped make this film his biggest box office hit to date. It also inspired one of Jay-Z’s greatest albums. Who can forget the moment he capped Idris Elba’s character before all of Harlem?

5) Flight (2012)

Denzel is unafraid to take on this unglamorous and largely un-sympathetic role as ‘Whip’ Whitaker, a drink and drug addicted pilot, who manages to successfully land a malfunctioning aircraft. He should expect yet another Oscar nomination for this one.

) Training Day (2001)

Denzel shocked audiences with his first over-the-top (and in-stantly quotable) villainous role as Alonzo Harris, a horribly corrupt and calculating LA narcotics detective. Washington finally won the Best Actor Academy Award for this performance, which cemented his status as one of the great bad-asses of cinema history.

3) The Hurricane (1999)

Some critics quibbled about the accuracy of this biopic about the wrongfully accused boxer Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter, but no one can second guess Denzel’s astonishing performance. Not only did he transform his body for the role but he convincingly played a character across several decades with big-time charisma. A knockout.

2) Glory (1989)

Denzel broke through as a bona fide movie star as the rebellious slave turned solider ‘Trip’ in this harrowing Civil War film. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for the film, which celebrated the legacy of legendary 54th regiment.

Veteran Educator Proposes a Way for

Creating Smart Schools

New book offers a process for the creation of smart or effective schools through the development and implementation of the Educational Instructional

Coaching Model WESTBURY, N.Y. – According to John Dewey, education is not a

preparation for life, but is life itself. As a veteran educator committed to public education, Dr. Judith Kronin pens Creating Smart Schools, a book that pro-poses a model that makes it possible for every student to attain a quality edu-cation.

Ron Edmonds spoke in an uncompromising voice, “All children can learn.” Today, Kronin speaks with the same resounding spirit and says, “All educators can teach.” Creating Smart Schools is a book that offers a process for the creation of effective schools through the development and implementa-tion of the Educational Instructional Coaching Model. This model, (EICM), will enable American students to earn top scores on the Programme for Inter-national Students Assessment (PISA). EICM evolved from research and a set of core beliefs, which include the following:

The major goal of educators is to inspire students to become critical thinkers and independent learners.

Educators must create environments of small learning communities where a major portion of instruction is devoted to problem solving.

Educators must create lesson plans that inspire students to increase their enjoyment of good questions and help them work out their own under-standing of “static” knowledge like mathematics, science, and reading.

Teachers must design student-directed instructions. Educational reform is comprehensive and involves every member of

the educational community. Instructional coaching, which requires mutual respect between a coach

and teacher, is the cornerstone for improving classroom instruction. Made available through Xlibris, Creating Smart Schools is the guide-

book to what every school needs for every student to attain quality education. For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to

1) Malcolm X (1992)

It’s no surprise that many viewers felt Denzel didn’t just play Malcolm — he became him. After years of research (he also played the iconic civil rights leader on stage) and the great efforts of Spike Lee, Denzel brought this unforgettable, inspiring performance to the big screen. Sadly, Denzel was snubbed at the Oscars for this role — but fans will remember it as his greatest.

Skyfall’ star Naomie Harris: ‘I didn’t look back on Halle

Berry’s ‘Bond’ role’ Make way for the new Bond girl Naomie Harris, because she has

arrived. The U.K. native stars as M6 field agent, Eve, alongside Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem in Skyfall which hits theaters nation-wide today.

Skyfall is arguably Harris’ breakout role, and according to her fel-low cast-members she delivers a stellar performance.

“I couldn’t have been happier that we cast her in the movie, be-cause she brought something to it. She’s incredibly physical and she can do all the action stuff, but beyond that she’s a remarkable ac-tress.” Craig who plays James Bond, said during an interview with theGrio.

Bardem who plays a deranged villain in the film said that al-though he didn’t have any scenes with Harris, he applauds her per-formance on-screen. “She brings a great flexibility to her role,” Bardem said. “She is an open actress and everything that she does it open and a delight to watch.

We caught up with the 36-year-old actress and talked about the character she plays in Skyfall as well as her role starring alongside Idris Elba as Winnie Mandela in upcoming feature film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

What attracted you to take on the role of Eve in this film?

Well, I didn’t actually know what role I was playing when I first of all auditioned. But I was asked to come in audition for a Bond film, and I’m a huge fan of Bond movies, I grew up watching them and I love them, so that was the main attraction. The obviously get-

ting to work with Sam Mendes was another huge attraction to me be-cause I think he’s a brilliant filmmaker. And then when I was finally told what role I was playing, I was told that they wanted a modern Bond woman, and they wanted me to make something original with her, then I was like, “all my wishes have kinda come true.”

Were you at all nervous to step into such a big and well-known film franchise?

Yeah I was definitely nervous. I was really really nervous. Hav-ing grown up with the movies I know there’s so much expectation around them, and people have very set ideas about how they think these characters should be played. I definitely was very nervous but Daniel was so kind to me on-set, he really took me under his wing, and held my hand through all of it and it really made a huge differ-ence to me and made it fun.

Did you at all research or look at Halle Berry’s performance when she was in the James Bond film Die Another Day to maybe try to emulate some of her essence that she brought to the role?

No, not at all actually, because as I said, when I went to the audi-tion and I was told I had the role, they said to me one of the main things they wanted was that I should make the role my own and make it as original as possible and make it modern as well. And so I made a conscious choice not to look back. Because I’ve grown up with Bond movies anyway, I’ve seen Halle Berry’s performance, I’ve seen Grace Jones, and so many Bond women over the years, so I didn’t want to be influenced by that. I wanted to really make her my own and be original.

Why do you think James Bond films are able to cross-over and appeal to any race?

I think because the films have this Universal appeal to men, be-cause they all want to be that character. Every guy wants to be the guy that always gets the girl and then saves the world and is never injured. James Bond is completely capable, and charming, witty, and mysterious. He’s got all the elements that guys want to be, and all the elements that a woman wants in a man. You either want to be James Bond or be with James Bond.

Are you a fan of Adele? There is a lot of buzz that she might get nominated for an Academy Award for her Skyfall theme song. Do you think she has what it takes to win the academy award for best song?

Yeah definitely I think it’s an amazing song and I’m a huge fan of Adele and so I would love for her to get an Oscar for her song ‘Skyfall.’ That would be incredible.

Who are some actors that you would hope to star opposite of one day?

Morgan Freeman, is an amazing amazing actor who I would like to work with. I had the privilege of working with Idris Elba recently and that was like a dream come true for me, because I think he’s ab-solutely fantastic actor. Chiwetel Ejofor is another actor that I think is absolutely brilliant and I would love to work with.

(Continued from page 25) What do you have coming up next in your career?

Two days after I finished Skyfall I went off to South Africa and I played Winnie Mandela opposite Idris Elba in a new film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, and that will be released next year so that the next film my fans can see me in. It’s a completely different role.

Did you ever get to talk to Winnie Mandela while filming the movie Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom?

Yes. I went to dinner with her and it was really great actually. I wanted to know how she wanted me to play her and she said “the most important thing to me is that your authentic. You’ve done your research so I trust you to create the character as you see fit and to rep-resent me as you see fit.” So she really allowed me the liberty to do what I wanted with the character and I am definitely grateful to her for that.

Museum Mission Statement The mission of the African American Museum of Nassau County

[AAM] is to provide programming and events that foster the intellectual development of community members and visitors with an interest in Af-rican-American art, history and culture. A primary goal is to dissemi-nate the history of African-Americans on Long Island and the African-American contribution to the social and cultural development of Ameri-can society through material and visual culture. The AAM, located in

Hempstead, New York, opened in 1970, at the height of the black power movement, as the Black History Exhibit Center. It is the only African American history museum on Long Island, and is located to serve Nas-sau County’s largest African-American population. The museum is a multi-disciplinary cultural institution that provides art installations, historical exhibitions, film programs, commu-nity service events, and educational program-ming. This 6,000-square-foot facility, offers a rotating series of exhibits showcasing local and national African American artists. The Afri-can American Museum also houses the African Atlantic Genealogy Society. This organization provides workshops and individual research instruction in family genealogy. The museum has installed a new E-Learning Program that offers an innovative pedagogical approach, using subject headings relative to Americans of African descent, for con-ducting research on the internet. The AAM is currently working on methods to expand the community’s understanding of knowledge or-ganization methods, literary warrant, and information retrieval and how these relate to African-American social history.

New Exhibit - Building Boom with KEVA ® planks

Through Sunday, January 6

Get ready to explore the simple and complex possibilities of construction as you move from the drawing board to the construction crew. Building Boom with KEVA® planks en-courages you to conceive, then build, the design project of your dreams -- bridges, skyscrapers, castles, airplanes, trestles, spi-rals and more. You’ll develop a first-hand understanding of the physical forces at work in the design process as you apply principles of balance, proportion and geometry to your design.

Building Boom with KEVA brings out the designer, architect and engineer in each of us as you problem solve and think in three dimension. Uniform in size, KEVA planks use only gravity – no glue or connectors. You'll dabble with physics to achieve balance, proportion and stability. Stumped for a design project? Draw inspiration from 50 permanent building models on display.

Local exhibit support for Building Boom with KEVA is provided by Astoria Federal Savings (logo).
