O’Jays, friends sing sweet tribute to Levert
It's a moment for the ages. Eddie Levert of the O'Jays conjures the spirit of his gone-too-soon son, and in a flashback moment of sheer Gerald Levert-dom, it's gyrating, sensual, get-down-to-the-nitty-gritty hysteria Saturday night at the Gerald Levert Tribute Concert at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center. Before then, though, when the Manhattans with Gerald Alston took the stage, all hormones broke loose. They cranked out hit after hit from "Kiss and Say Goodbye" to "It Feels So Good to Be Loved So Bad," which had ladies all but throwing themselves on stage. But it was Alston's rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" that really got the crowd going. Dedicated to the "Jena Six" in Louisiana, it was as moving as it was mesmerizing to see this man whip up so much chutzpah as if he not only wanted change but an overhaul.
Wage gap 'key problem' in retaining young adults
Ryan Johnson, a 30-year-old Des Moines native who lives in Chicago, estimates returning to Iowa would likely cost him about $20,000 in annual pay. If he and his wife make the move, he's hoping lower housing, transportation and other costs will offset lost wages. "When you turn 30 and get married, you start thinking about where you want to raise kids," said Johnson. "It would be nice not to spend an hour getting to the grocery store."
Jennifer Oswald, a 36-year-old IT recruiter in Des Moines, said higher wages are crucial to graduating students who face heavy debt. After graduating, Oswald moved to Texas to teach math because she was offered higher pay and placement before she graduated, and the state would pay her student debt after she had lived there five years.

Richard Roberts resigns as Oral Roberts University president
Embattled Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts resigned Friday following nearly two months of allegations that he and his family misused university and ministry resources. In his resignation letter, Roberts states: "I love ORU with all my heart. I love the students, faculty, staff and administration and I want to see God's best for all of them." Roberts' letter, sent to the Board of Regents, states his resignation was effective Friday. The board is meeting Monday and Tuesday to determine its search process for a new president, university spokesman Jeremy Burton said in a statement. "Executive Regent Billy Joe Daugherty will continue to assume administrative responsibilities of the office of the president, working together with Chancellor Oral Roberts, until the regents meeting," Burton stated.
