Digital Television Transition :  What You Should Know
               
 
Wayman Nation,
 
As you know technology changes daily and in order to accomplish some of our daily tasks, we must change. I truly understand that change is not what seniors like to hear or do. But, if you want to continue to see the Young and the Restless, Oprah and your favorite television shows, this change is a must!
 
The Digital Television (DTV) transition is the switch from traditional analog television to digital television. This represents the most significant advancement in television technology since color television was introduced. DTV will allow broadcasters to deliver movie quality picture and sound. It also provides more programming options for viewers because broadcasters will be able to "multicast" or air up to six different channels over one signal, such as "all weather" or "all traffic channels."  Read more...

Did you know that over 8 million eligible black voters are not registered to vote?
 
Any black American who has NOT registered to cast his or her vote this November needs to wake up. This applies to ALL Americans, but black folks in particular. It doesn't matter who you vote for; if you feel any commitment to our democracy, you are compelled as a United States citizen to register and vote.

Dr. Tyler1
Dear Wayman Family,
 
I have been in a little bit of a spiritual quagmire trying to wrap my thoughts and feelings around the death of my good friend, The Reverend Dr. Charles H. Belcher. Charles was the pastor of St. John AME Church here in St. Louis. I was eating dinner when I got the call that Charles had died from a massive heart attack while attending his church's annual picnic. I rushed to the hospital only to find him in a dark room-lifeless- surrounded by his wife, Doris, the doctor, and the Presiding Elder.  
 
I can't stop thinking about the fact that I had just seen Charles a few days before at the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon. I guess I am wrestling with the fact that in addition to the reality that we only get to have a limited number of friends in life, their journey with us can be so fleeting. This experience has caused me to grieve in a place that I have never been before, but it has also helped to give me a greater appreciation for those who remain and who genuinely care for me.
