Young, Black Woman Leads Billion DollarCompany Xerox to the Top
Happy Mother’s Day 5.12.13
Young, black woman leads billion dol-lar company to the apex! CEO UrsulaBurns, of Xerox Corporation, wasPresident at the time of the $6.4 billionpurchase of the Dallas-based AffiliatedComputer Services Inc., the largest dealthe office products giant has ever made.
Now Xerox is no longer a just a syn-onym for copier. More than half of its$22.4 billion in revenue last year camefrom services built on ACS' legacy. If youhave booked an airline ticket, runthrough a tollbooth, paid a parking ticket,filed a health insurance claim or appliedfor a car loan, chances are Xerox handledthe back-end processing.
By 2017, business services and IT out-sourcing that stem from ACS are expect-ed to account for two of every three dol-lars Xerox brings in. CEO Burns, amechanical engineer who grew up in theprojects of the Lower East Side ofManhattan, is credited with getting Xeroxthis far.
The 54-year-old is self-assured withwho she is: the first black woman to run aFortune 500 company.
"I had aspirations from the time I couldwalk and talk," she said. "My mother wasalways very clear that we would get aneducation and be successful. She wouldsay it in those words: 'Get an educationand be successful.'"
Burns loved school and excelled inmath.
"I'm a fairly inward person, eventoday," she said. "I didn't have gobs andgobs of friends. Pretty much like my lifenow. I have very close friends."

Lots of optimism comingfrom the Discovery Gardensat Dallas Fair Park whereMayor Mike Rawlings out-lined his vision for the sec-ond year of Grow South, aplan to revitalize Dallas'Southern Sector.
"The theme of this isSouthern Dallas is not acharity case, but a businessopportunity," the Mayorsaid.
He outlined ten areasidentified last year and gavethem a grade in how effec-tive they'd been. Among thehighest marks: an "A" whathe called a "culture of clean"for removing derelict hous-es, like the 250th structureddemolished structure lastyear. And for improvingparks, like the one acrossthe street from that 250thhouse. "Creating a sense ofclean makes a neighbor-hood attractive (and) one ofthe reasons to move into."
He awarded an A- forWest Dallas, for an econom-ic boost predicted with theopening of the MargaretHunt Hill Bridge.
"Definitely the bridge,"
agreed John Sims of theFour Corners Brewery. "Ithink the proximity betweendowntown and Oak Cliff isbig, because there's a lot oftraffic that goes back andforth this way. There'sanother development that'sgoing to open up betweenSylvan and 30 here in thenext year or so so I thinkwe're going to have kind ofan interesting corridor andnew restaurants and shopsand kind of a new focalpoint for the city over here."
The Four Corners Brewerymakes local beers for innand grills and is one of thosenew economic additions,opening last November. Itwas the booming West sidehooked the owners on mov-ing there. "So we probablycould have been open ninemonths to a year earlier insome random warehousebut we thought this buildingand this development wasworth waiting for," Sims toldCBS 11 News.
But the mayor gave a "C"to the Lancaster Corridor inSouth Oak Cliff. There areeconomic enticements in
place but investment hasbeen slow. Still, SteveLevine says he "loves theconcept."
Levine and his family co-own Midway Auto Supplies,on the same Lancaster Roadaddress for nearly 50-years.
While there is develop-ment around the VAHospital, he thinks more pri-vate enterprise is needed tostimulate jobs.
"Our biggest problem inthis neck of the woods-deepSouth Oak Cliff here- is wehave so many people thatare unemployed or underemployed." He adds,"Lancaster Corridor hasbeen ignored for so manyyears that whatever positivecan come to fruition isgreat." And he observesthat people with paycheckscan spend more to stimulateeconomic growth.
Just today there wasmovement in Central OakCliff where the Jim LakeCompanies announced theywill re-develop the blockwhere the Oak Cliff Tower islocated…including retail,residences and a brew pub.

This past weekend I con-vened my 13th annualpeace conference in Dallasentitled "A World of Womenfor World Peace". Morethan one hundred fiftypeace activists from theDallas area and peace advo-cates from throughout theworld attended the eventwhich was held at theFederal Reserve Bank ofDallas.
The central theme of thenearly three hour sessionwas that a more peacefulworld was a reality if peoplefrom different cultures andbackgrounds engaged inserious dialogue, and weremore tolerant of differ-ences. We do not have tolose hundreds of thousandsof lives because people dis-like one another or disagreewith the policies of othernations.
At the conference anIsraeli peace activist, RonnyEdry, explained how throughthe creation of posterspromulgating peace peoplefrom Israel and Iran werebuilding more harmoniousrelationships. He said that itwas shameful that neigh-bors in the region of theworld where he lived couldnot visit one another's coun-tries.
The executive director ofthe Texas Muslim Women'sFoundation, Dr. Hind Jarrah,said her organization collab-orates with others of differ-ent faiths and beliefs. Shesaid that it was possible forpeople to work together,although they spoke differ-ent languages and held dif-ferent political positions.
Dr. Jarrah is a proponentof interfaith dialogue. Muchof her life is spent attempt-ing to eradicate misconcep-tions about Islam and peo-ple of Muslim faith, manyhaving been the victims ofracial discrimination as aresult of the events ofSeptember 11th, 2001.
Nazanin Boniadi, anactress born in Iran, who isalso the official spokesper-son for AmnestyInternational, spoke abouther efforts to create democ-racy in parts of the worldwhere a free press and free-
dom of speech were not tol-erated by those in power.She has enlisted prominentHollywood movie directorsand actors to support herwork.
The conference focusedon the particular role thatwomen perform in creatinga world of peace. The ideawas launched in 2001 togive greater visibility towomen who were the vic-tims of war and aggression.Another objective was tohighlight those women whohave been peacemakers intheir communities andcountries.
In this country, womencreated the Female PeaceSociety in 1820. One of thevery first internationalwomen's peace groups hadits roots in 1854 when aSwedish woman started theEuropean Women's PeaceLeague.
American women haveplayed a fundamental role inpeace movements. As a leg-islator and as a citizen I willwork tirelessly to bringattention to those in theforefront of global peacemovements.
I will continue to lift thecollective voices of womenand others in support ofpeace, and the empower-ment of women around theworld.

Why are so many ofour children failing themath test? What solu-tions are on yourplaylist to curtail thisdestructive tsunami?As a talk show host, weget a lot of mail, books,critiques, testimonies,ideas, you name it.Recently, I asked KenEverett for referencesabout his 'math revolu-tion', his tutoring ofyoung people. I wasstunned when about aweek later, he present-ed me with nearly nine-ty(90)written lettersfrom parents, grand-mothers, principals,business owners,church leaders, pastors,addressed to him with'over-the-top' compli-ments and gratitude.
Here is one typicalletter that will speaks
volumes: Quote: "Mydaughter was a seniorat Lake Highlands HighSchool, had failed theTAKS four times andwas in serious jeopardyof not graduating.
She is a writer andartist, and words can-not express how muchshe HATED math, howmany tears had beenshed during her twelveyears of school becauseof math, and her fear ofnot being able to gradu-ate. After speakingwith Kenneth over thephone, I decided to con-tract tutoring sessionswith him. My daughterwas VERY reluctant (in avery 'teenage way')stating nothing ha dever helped before andthis would not helpeither. (Paragraph)After the first one-hoursession, she actuallywalked out smiling, andI could immediately tellthat Kenneth had madea difference. This horri-ble thing called mathbegan to make senseand she realized shecould actually get it.She had several moresessions-each one justas successful and posi-tive. She was soimpressed and happy,she got my son who was
in college, to have a pri-vate session withKenneth. My son wasjust as impressed. Mydaughter passed theMath TAKS the verynext time, graduatedand is now in college."Unquote. Signed PamHaley, Dallas. This let-ter and others are inKenneth's book. Checkhim out at www.nopen-cilnopaper.com.
Since then, we havehad the pleasure oftalking with leaders atseveral churches whoemployed the servicesof Kenneth EverettMath Revolution in aworkshop. Why?"Because math is a crys-tal ball", says KennethEverett. All avenueslead to math. And yourbright future dependson it.
The math revolutionteam is asking churchesto install math back inchurches this summerand beyond. And I am astrong supporter of thismovement. Areassuch as Sunday Schooland Vacation BibleSchool are perfect plat-form for a math lesson.

The legendary Bill Cosbytreated Paul Quinn’s classof 2013 to a multidimen-sional commencementaddress on Saturday morn-ing.
He began his 39-minuteaddress by paying homageto the College’s oldest-liv-ing graduate, 104-year-oldCecile Anderson. “I wasinformed that she wasgoing to walk and receiveher honorary hood and Iexpected somebody over ahundred to be slow. Butthen I was informed of thevanity of the female--that
she, in fact, was slower inwalking than usualbecause she decided towear heels.” The memberof Smith Chapel AMEChurch is famously knownfor her insistence on wear-ing heels to church everySunday.
Encouraging the gradu-ates to remember the sac-rifices of the faculty, Cosbyalso challenged the hon-orees to achieve personalsuccess while remember-ing the journey that helpedthem earn their Paul Quinndegrees. “Every one of you
graduates, you have astory. You have a backstory of how you werebrought here and you’vegot the front story, which isyour graduation. Now, youwork on your end game.”
