Gospel Powerhouse Cece Winans Hosts Her 5th Annual Always Sisters, Forever ...

In 2005 Winans launched Always Sisters to promote the true value of pure sisterhood and friendship. Her long-time dream to reach young girls was created so that the older sisters could pour love, wisdom and knowledge into the younger sisters. Winans wanted the young women to learn what sisterhood is all about and to teach the importance of loving God, themselves and others. In 2009 she decided it was time to broaden the vision and include young men, so the organization’s name was then changed to Always Sisters, Forever Brothers with the goal of empowering and equipping young male & females simultaneously. The 2011 conference will feature an array of talented speakers and music performances with emphasis on the importance having a male foundation in the family setting. Over the years disturbing statistics have been reported about the effects of young people without fathers or father figures, leaving single mothers to do their best to take on the responsibilities of both parental roles. This year the registrants will hear from strong men and women who will speak into their lives as family, spiritual leaders, friends, mentors and positive role models. Panelists: Kim Daniels, Nancy Alcorn, Dr. Deirdra Jackson and Warren Ballentine. Topics will include Love or Lust (dating violence, bullying, anger) Do You See What I See (self esteem and addictions), Oh Daddy Where Art Thou (the effects of and living beyond fatherlessness) What Will It Cost to Be Your Own Boss (AIDS, STD’s, Teen pregnancy – from hopelessness to hope), Sick and Tired (Health) and so many more issues that young people face daily. Donations and registrations can be done via internet and ranges from $72 - $130 with single purchase of concert tickets available for $17. Any additional conference details are available online at ASFB website http://alwayssistersforeverbrothers.com/conference-info/featured-guests/, Fans can follow and chat with CeCe at www.cecewinans.com http://www.facebook.com/officialcecewinans and @CeCeWinansASFB.

Judge Greg Mathis - Smarter On Crime | Houston Style Magazine ...

The nation’s decades long war on drugs and ‘tough on crime’ posture has failed to reduce crime rates and control the rising prison population. Additionally, our current crime fighting strategy puts us at a disadvantage in other critical sectors, namely education. Knowing what we now know, it is clear that it’s beyond time to take a different approach on crime…a smarter one.

According to a recently released NAACP report entitled “Misplaced Priorities: Over Incarcerate and Under Educate,” state spending on prisons in the last twenty years grew six times faster than education spending. In fact, 33 states increased prison spending in 2009 while simultaneously reducing education funding.

Much of this increase in prison spending can be blamed on mandatory sentencing laws that require mandatory jail time for even low-level, non-violent offenses rob the sentencing judge of the ability to hand down a punishment that is more suitable to the crime. Instead, offenders who might be better served in a drug rehab program are sent to prison, causing prison populations to go up and requiring prison budgets to increase in order to keep up with the ‘demand’.

As states around the country are forced to make tough cuts to balance their budgets, very few are pulling funds from those allocated for prisons. Instead, they are pulling money from education, healthcare and social services, programs that serve those in need. This is definitely not the right approach.

Reducing the prison population and, in turn, reducing prison budgets, stabilizes state budgets so that other key programs won’t have to take such hard hits. Restoring the judge’s ability to use creative sentencing for non-violent offenders is one way to reduce prison populations around the country. Employing alternative sentencing methods, such as home confinement and drug treatment, is another.

Our priorities as a nation are currently skewed…we are placing far more emphasis on incarcerating people than we are on educating and healing them. By taking a smarter approach to crime, one that looks for lower cost ways to punish and rehabilitate offenders, we can free up billions of dollars that can be put to much better use.

Seafood With The Blues

Imagine spending a day at the museum, the recollection of Van Gogh’s self-portrait has your mind spinning, but it is abruptly interrupted by the growl in your stomach. The thought of going home and cooking dampens your mood, so you dismiss that thought and decide to treat yourself to a meal that mirrors the majestic beauty of an impressionist’s painting. So where do you go?
