Ray Brown, "el paciente de Berlín", cuentaahora con dos pacientes de Boston, Massachusetts, que han sidocompletamente curado del sida. La "cura" estaba vinculada origi-nalmente a trasplantes de médula ósea procedentes de donantessin un receptor llamado CCR5. Los nuevos hallazgos son el resul-tado de una combinación de trasplante de médula ósea, losmedicamentos contra el VIH y la quimioterapia y una estrategiade "shock y muerte cuando un nuevo ciclo de infección se evita.

OWNING WEAPONS FOR PROTECTIONVS

WEAPONS FOR CRIME AND VIOLENCEI was at the opening of Batman Rises in my safe little communityof Grand Rapids, Michigan while the horrific massacre of innocentmovie- goers was taking place in Aurora, Colorado at a movie the-atre where patrons never thought they would be in danger’s path.Who could have known that a mentally sick individual would carry

out his plan to kill others without cause in what most people consider a safe place in arelatively safe community. We are all rightfully alarmed by the event in Aurora, whichcould have happened anywhere. We are very concerned that someone who is obviouslymentally ill could so easily attain weapons and ammunition. After the disbelief and theevents were fully reported including the list of victims and themedia shared details of their killings, I couldn’t help but hold backmy own tears of sorrow for the victims, their families and lovedones left behind to grieve for them. As human beings and Amer-icans, we want to do something about this to prevent it from everhappening again.

Every time a major tragedy, terrorist threat, or attack, shootingtakes place in our nation, we are forced by the politics of Gun Con-trol advocates to zero in on the issue of removing guns from thestreets and from the hands of criminals. These are noble causessince criminals and the mentally disturbed should not have accessto weapons. The problem is in disarming all Americans and re-stricting the kinds of weapons, they enjoy for hunting, target practice, survival skills train-ing, and self-defense. The use of assault weapons is common for civilian Para-militarytraining such as that of minutemen who stand ready to defend our nation in the eventof an all out war on our own land. The use of bullet clips that carry five or more shellsare also useful in target practice and necessary for a citizen militia described by our con-stitution. Gun owners, the National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups areright in saying to politicians that guns are not the problem…keeping them in the handsof responsible Americans without malicious intent is the issue. It was not the gun thatcarried out the violence but the lunatic behind the weapon. Keeping guns out of thehands of evildoers is the issue!

Communities with record numbers of citizens with concealed weapons permits have not

experienced the kind of mayhem that cities without CCW’s have. In fact, there have beena number of incidents during recent years where perpetrators of mass violence have beentaken down; stopped in their tracks by armed private citizens, security officials, militaryand off duty police. Perhaps we should look at better screening, psychological testing,and enforcement of our laws to round up criminals that pose an obvious danger to ourcommunities so that we do not take away the basic right of gun ownership provided bythe United States Constitution described in the Second Amendment. We should not over-react. A weaponless society does not necessarily make us safer. It does, however, leaveus defenseless and less secure in our homes and businesses.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution states: A well regulatedmilitia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of thepeople to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Our forefathers including George Washington recognized that thegreatest defense of freedom rests with the people. A well-armed cit-izenry is the best defense that a nation can possess against the foesof liberty.

Yo estaba en la apertura de Batman en mi comunidad segura deGrand Rapids, Michigan, mientras la masacre horrible de inocentesaficionados al cine se llevaba a cabo en Aurora, Colorado, en una sala

de cine en el que nunca los clientes pensaban que estaría en peligro de ruta. ¿Quién po-dría haber sabido que un individuo mentalmente enferma fuera capaz de llevar a cabosu plan para matar a otros sin causa en lo que la mayoría de la gente considera un lugarseguro en una comunidad relativamente segura? Todos estamos justamente alarmadospor el evento en Aurora, que podría haber sucedido en cualquier lugar. Estamos muypreocupados de que alguien que es, obviamente, un enfermo mental podría fácilmentealcanzar las armas y municiones. Después de la incredulidad y los acontecimientos se reg-istraron la plena inclusión en la lista de las víctimas y los medios de comunicación paracompartir detalles de sus asesinatos, no podía dejar de contener mis propias lágrimas dedolor por las víctimas, sus familias y seres queridos que quedaron atrás para llorar ellos.Como seres humanos y los estadounidenses, queremos hacer algo al respecto para evi-tar que vuelva a ocurrir.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - Veteran Ari-zona lawman Joe Arpaio, self-de-scribed as "America's toughestsheriff," denied on Tuesday thathis deputies targeted people be-cause of the color of their skin ina controversial crackdown on ille-gal immigration.

Arpaio, sheriff of Arizona's Mari-copa County, was testifying in aclass-action lawsuit in late Julythat will test whether police cantarget illegal immigrants withoutracially profiling Hispanic citizensand legal residents. Since the U.S.Supreme court ruling regardingArizona’s SB 1070 racial profilingcharges have been filed againstArizona’s law enforcement agen-cies.

DOES THE LATINOCOMMUNITY HAVE A NATIONAL LEADER?

In 2010 that answer was a re-sounding no. When the Pew Re-search center asked in anopen-ended question to namethe person they consider "themost important Latino leader inthe country today," nearly two-thirds (64%) of Hispanic respon-dents said they did not know. Anadditional 10% said "no one."While there is not a more recentsurvey, it is a safe bet that if thesame question was posed tomost Hispanics today they wouldrespond similarly.

According to demographers, theHispanic community in theUnited States will double in sizeover the next 40 years. Hispanicswill comprise more than 30% ofthe United States population by2050.

Hispanic representation in ourpolitical system remains dismalat best. There are 31 Hispanic'sserving in the 112th Congress,5.7% of the total membership.Twenty-nine serve in the Houseand two in the Senate. There areonly two Hispanic Governors inthe entire country in Brian San-doval from Nevada and SusanaMartinez from New Mexico.

Do you know who our leadersare?

¿La comunidadlatina tiene unLíder Nacional?

En el año 2010 que la respuestaera un rotundo no. Cuando elPew Research Center le preguntóen una pregunta abierta paranombrar a la persona que consid-eran "el líder latino más impor-tante del país hoy en día," casidos tercios (64%) de los hispanosencuestados dijo que no sabía.Un 10% adicional dijo que"nadie". Si bien no hay un estudiomás reciente, es una apuesta se-gura que si la misma pregunta sele hizo a la mayoría de los his-panos de hoy responderían demanera similar.

Según los demógrafos, la comu-nidad hispana en los EstadosUnidos se duplicará en tamañoen los próximos 40 años. Los his-panos representan más del 30%de la población de EstadosUnidos en 2050.

La representación hispana ennuestro sistema político siguesiendo sombrío en el mejor. Hay31 hispanos en servicio en el 112º Congreso, el 5,7% del total demiembros. Veintinueve servir enla Cámara de Representantes ydos en el Senado. Sólo hay dosgobernadores hispanos en todoel país en Brian Sandoval de Ne-vada y Susana Martínez, deNuevo México.

¿Sabe usted quiénes son nuestroslíderes?

DHS immigrationplan could cost

$585M

Fox News and the AssociatedPress repported that the Obamaadministration's plan to let thou-sands of young illegal immi-

grants stay in the country andapply for work permits reportedlycould cost more than $585 mil-lion to carry out.

According to internal documentsobtained by The AssociatedPress, illegal immigrants will beable to request permission tostay in the country and apply fora work permit starting Aug. 15.

U.S. Citizenship and ImmigrationServices could receive more thana million applications in the firstyear alone, costing $467 millionto $585 million to process.

Most of that is expected to bepaid with fees from the appli-cants. The report estimates thefees will add up to $484 million --though this still leaves a short-fall.

Waivers of the plan's $465 paper-work fee could dramatically af-fect the government's share ofthe cost. The plans said therewould be no waivers, but Home-land Security Secretary JanetNapolitano told Congress lastweek that the government wouldgrant waivers "in very deservingcases."

Republicans pounced on the pos-sibility that taxpayers could footat least part of the bill.

"By lowering the fee or waiving italtogether for illegal immigrants,those who play by the rules willface delays and large backlogs asattention is diverted to illegal im-migrants," House Judiciary Com-mittee Chairman Lamar Smithsaid. "American taxpayers shouldnot be forced to bail out illegalimmigrants and PresidentObama's fiscally irresponsiblepolicies."

The Department of Homeland Se-curity, though, claimed the pro-gram has to be covered byapplicant fees and "will not re-quire any taxpayer dollars."

Spokesman Matthew Chandleralso noted that the process is"not final."

The government estimated thatas many as 890,000 immigrantsin the first year would be immedi-ately eligible to avoid deporta-tion.

Once immigrants submit their ap-plications, it could take two to 10days for the Homeland SecurityDepartment to scan and filethem. It could take up to fourweeks longer to make an ap-pointment for immigrants to sub-mit their fingerprints and takephotographs. A subsequent back-ground check could take sixmore weeks, then three moremonths for the government tomake its final decision before awork permit would be issued.

Napolitano said new informationabout the program should bemade available by Aug. 1. Shehas said immigrants would gen-erally not be detained by immi-gration authorities while theirapplications are pending.

El plan del gobierno de BarackObama de detener la deportaciónde jóvenes inmigrantes y conced-erles permisos temporales de tra-bajo podría costar más de 585millones de dólares, y necesitaráademás la contratación de cien-tos de nuevos empleados fed-erales para que procesen elmillón de solicitudes previstas,de acuerdo con un documento in-terno del Departamento de Se-guridad Nacional.

El texto, obtenido por The Asso-ciated Press y en el que se indica"no para distribución", describelos trámites que tendrían queefectuar los inmigrantes, incluidoel pago de una tarifa de 465dólares para compensar el costodel programa, y la manera comolo administraría el gobierno.

Los inmigrantes no autorizadospueden pedir permiso de perma-nencia en el país mediante la pre-sentación del documento"Solicitud para Acción Diferida aFavor de Personas que Llegaronde Niños", y pedir simultánea-mente un permiso de trabajo apartir del 15 de agosto.

Conforme al nuevo plan, que elpresidente Barack Obama anun-ció en junio, los inmigrantes quepueden inscribirse en el pro-grama deben haber llegado a Es-tados Unidos antes de los 16años, tener 30 años o menos,haber vivido en el país los últi-mos cinco años, ir a la escuela ohaberse graduado, o haber pre-sentado su servicio en las fuerzasarmadas.

UNITED STATES V ARIZONA: PROLOGUE OF THEDECISION OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

By Samuel MedranoIn the US Supreme Court's recent decision on the constitutionality of Ari-

zona's immigration law, the court found 3 controversial provisions preempted byfederal law such that neither Arizona nor states with similar laws can enforcethem. The first of these provisions made illegal presence a state offense. The sec-ond made working or seeking work without legal status a state offense, and thethird empowered police to arrest individuals who they had “probable cause” to be-lieve committed an offense that is basis for deportation.

But the court found that the fourth provision was not preempted by fed-eral law and could be enforced. That provision allows police to investigate the im-migration status of individuals in certain situations on stopping them and also onarresting them.

What triggers this investigation is the presence of “reasonable suspicion.”“Reasonable suspicion” is a lighter criteria than “probable cause” and exists if thepolice can articulate objective reasons which, taking rational inferences into con-sideration, reasonably support a suspicion that the person committed a violation.For example, if someone is driving erratically, that is an objective reason for sus-pecting the individual of drunk driving. In such case, the police can stop and de-tain the individual while they investigate to confirm or dispel their suspicion. Thesame holds true if the person is speeding or has a burnt headlight. In those cases,there is more than “reasonable suspicion” to believe that the person committed atraffic violation. In all these cases, the Arizona decision teaches us that police, onstopping the individual, may confirm his immigration status without offending thefourth amendment and its prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.Moreover, criminal evidence discovered in that investigation may be used in thecriminal case, and the immigration status may be used in the immigration case.

But what happens if police really detain an individual for racist motives?The case of Whren v US, 517 US 806 (1996) teaches the controversial lesson thatthese motives have no relevance for purposes of the fourth amendment if there is“reasonable suspicion” that the person committed a violation. On the other hand,if the person did not commit a violation and the police only stopped the individualto investigate his immigration status, there we have an absence of an objectivereason to suspect or believe that the individual committed a violation. In suchcase, the fourth amendment is offended and evidence discovered in the investiga-tion together with the immigration status can be suppressed, both in the criminalcase and also in the immigration case. Moreover, that violation can also be basisfor suit for violation of Equal Protection under the 14th Amendment, particularly ifthat act is part of the practice and policy of the police.

ESTADOS UNIDOS V ARIZONA: PROLOGO A LA DECISIONDE LA CORTE SUPREMA DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS

Por Samuel Medrano En la decision reciente de la corte suprema sobre la constitucionalidad de

la ley inmigratoria de Arizona, la corte encontro 3 porciones contraversiales deesa ley preemptas por ley federal con el efecto que ni Arizona, ni tampoco otrosestados con leyes similares, pueden esforzarlas. La primera de esas porcioneshizo el estar presente sin documentos un crimen estatal; la segunda hizo el traba-jar o buscar trabajo sin tener documentos un crimen estatal; y la tercera em-podero a policias a arrestar personas quienes ellos tenian “causa probable” encreer cometieron una ofensa que es bases para deportacion.

Pero la corte encontro que una porcion no estaba preempta y se podiaesforzar. Esa porcion permite a policias que investigen el estado inmigratorio depersonas en ciertas situaciones al pararlas y detenerlas y tambien al arrestarlas.

El gatillo que permite esa investigacion es la existencia de “sospecho ra-zonable. “Sospecho razonable” es un criterio mas liviano que “causa probable” yexiste si la policia puede articular razones objetivas que, tomandose en cuentacon inferencias racionales, razonablemente soportan sospecho de una violacion.Por ejemplo, si algien viene manejando de manera erratica, alli hay razon objetivapara sospechar esa persona de manejar ebrio. En tal caso, la policia puede pararlay detenerla mientras investiga para confirmar o despojarse de su sospecho. Lomismo si la persona viene corriendo recio, o si tiene una luz del carro quemada.Alli hay mas que “sospecho razonable” para creer que la persona cometio una vio-lacion. En todos estos casos, la decision de Arizona nos ensena que la policia, alparar esa persona, puede confirmar su estado inmigratorio sin ofender la cuartaenmienda y su prohibicion de esculcos y confiscaciones irrazonables. Ademas, evi-dencias descubiertas se pueden usar en el caso criminal, y el estado inmigratoriose puede usar en el caso inmigratorio.

Que pasa si la policia realmente detiene al individual por motivos racis-tas? El caso de Whren v US, 517 US 806 (1996) nos ensena el punto contraversialque esos motivos no tienen importancia para propositos de la cuarta enmienda sihay “sospecho razonable.” Pero si no hay “sospecho razonable” sino que la policiasolo lo detiene porque se le pone de investigar su estado inmigratorio, alli hayfalta de razon objetiva para sospechar o creer que la persona cometio una viola-cion. En tal caso hay ofensa a la cuarta enmienda y evidencias descubiertas juntocon el estado inmigratorio se pueden suprimir, ambos, en el caso criminal, y tam-bien en el caso inmigratorio. Ademas, esa violacion puede ser bases para deman-dar por violacion de Proteccion Igual bajo la Enmienda 14, particularmente si esehecho viene a ser parte de la practica y politica de la policia.

Mexico to aid undocumented

immigrantyouths at 50

consular offices across

U.S

The Mexican Embassy onMonday opened the doors toits San Jose, San Francisco and48 other consular officesacross the United States to un-documented immigrantyouths seeking work permitsand deportation relief through

a new Obama administrationdirective.The U.S. gov-ernment won'tbegin acceptingdeportation re-lief applicationsuntil Aug. 15,but the Mexicangovernment willhelp eligibleyoung peopleapply by givingthem informa-

tion and ensuring they havethe proper documents, saidJuan Carlos Lara-Armienta, theMexican Embassy's head ofLatino affairs.The relief directive from theDepartment of Homeland Se-

curity could benefit more than1 million people 30 years oldor younger who were broughtto the country illegally as chil-dren, most of them from Mex-ico.The Mexican Embassy part-nered with a U.S. immigrantadvocacy group, the UnitedWe Dream Network, and hasbeen co-hosting communityworkshops around the BayArea and country. More than200 people crowded an Anti-och forum on Friday.Consular officials are makingsure those born in Mexicohave a Mexican passport thatproves who they are to qualifyfor the relief directive, saidGabriela Márdero, spokes-

woman for the Mexican Con-sulate in San Francisco.

El pasado lunes 23 de Julio,50 consulados mexicanos deEstados Unidos planean llevara cabo una jornada de ayuda ajóvenes inmigrantes sin autor-ización para residir en EstadosUnidos y que pretenden solici-tar permisos de trabajo y versu potencial deportación sus-pendida.Este evento consular es resul-tado de la colaboración deUnited We Dream, la red másamplia de "dreamers" del país,y la embajada de México,aunque se prevé que habráacuerdos similares con emba-jadas de otros países.

Los consulados ayudarán arenovar pasaportes caducadoso a expedir nuevos, así comocertificados de nacimiento quelos "dreamers" no tengan,entre otros documentos. Estetipo de identificaciones sonrequeridos en el proceso desuspensión de deportaciones.

Janet Napolitano, secretaria deSeguridad Nacional de EstadosUnidos, defendió la iniciativa,impuesta por el presidenteBarack Obama. La funcionariadijo que el gobierno aúnsopesa qué documentos solici-tará a los inmigrantes con elfin de que demuestren quecumplen con los requisitos.

(Reuters) - Mexico's InstitutionalRevolutionary Party, or PRI, win-ner of the July 1 presidential elec-tion, on Monday accused theleftist runner-up of exceedingspending limits and using illegalfunds to finance his bid.

The allegations were a tit-for-tatexchange after leftist AndresManuel Lopez Obrador chal-lenged the 3.3 million-vote vic-tory by the PRI's Enrique PenaNieto. Lopez Obrador alleges thePRI resorted to money launderingand vote-buying to win.

PRI officials fired back on Mon-

day, saying Lopez Obrador's cam-paign spent 1.2 billion pesos($88.65 million) more than wasallowed in the presidential cam-paign.

"We have information that publicfunds were siphoned into thecampaign of Andres ManuelLopez," PRI Chairman PedroJoaquin Coldwell told reporters ata news conference.

Joaquin Coldwell suggested thefunds were likely illegally chan-neled from the budget of citiesand states run by the leftist par-ties backing Lopez Obrador'spresidential bid.

The PRI's counterpunch followedthree weeks of allegations fromLopez Obrador, including abroadside on Wednesday that thePRI laundered money to fund votebuying ahead of the election.

Though legal experts doubtLopez Obrador can overturn theelection results in court, thecharges have sullied Pena Nieto'svictory and added fuel to popularprotests against his win.

The PRI ruled Mexico for most ofthe 20th century, mixing patron-age, corruption and outright voterigging until the party was oustedfrom the presidency in a 2000election.

Lopez Obrador, a former mayorof Mexico City, lost the 2006 raceto President Felipe Calderon byless than 250,000 votes. Follow-ing that defeat, he also contestedthe results and led massivedemonstrations that choked thecapital for weeks.

In the aftermath of his protests,Lopez Obrador traveled around

the country to drum up supportahead of this year's race.

The PRI's allegations center onthe funds used to back LopezObrador during this period. ThePRI raised similar accusationsduring the election, which LopezObrador's campaign rejected.

El Partido Revolucionario Institu-cional (PRI), el ganador de los re-cientes comicios presidenciales yque ha sido acusado por sus ri-vales de posible lavado dedinero en la campaña,afirmó el lunes que el can-didato izquierdista AndrésManuel López Obrador sebenefició de un finan-ciamiento ilícito durantelos meses previos a laselecciones.

El presidente del PRI, PedroJoaquín Coldwell, dijo en

rueda de prensa que su partidoha recibido información de queuna asociación civil vinculada aLópez Obrador habría manejadode manera ilegal al menos 1.200millones de pesos (poco más de89 millones de dólares) que sedestinaron para la campaña delizquierdista.

Coldwell dijo que, desde el 8 dejunio, el PRI presentó ante el In-stituto Federal Electoral (IFE) unadenuncia para investigar el origende los recursos de la asociacióncivil "Honestidad Valiente" y queahora pedirán al organismo infor-mar públicamente sobre losavances de su indagatoria.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICOCITY July 23, 2012(AP) — After police found 49

dismembered bodies strewn on aMexican highway leading to theTexas border, it took the army

just a week to parade an allegeddrug trafficker before journalistsas the man who purportedlyoversaw the body dump.

Yet two months after the grislydiscovery in Nuevo Leon state,authorities have not identified asingle victim.

The 49 bodies now appearheaded for an increasingly com-mon fate in this drug war-wracked country: They could jointhe growing ranks of the uniden-tified dead.

That group has become legion asnearly 16,000 bodies remainunidentified, says the NationalHuman Rights Commission, anindependent government agency.In total, 24,000 people have beenreported missing. Many say thecountry's police are simply over-whelmed by the number of drugwar casualties as they strugglewith poor forensic capabilitiesand the reluctance of some wit-

nesses and victims' relatives tohelp.

Cuando la policía mexicana en-contró 49 cadáveres desperdiga-dos en una carretera que lleva aTexas, al ejército le tomó sola-mente una semana para presen-tar al supuesto narcotraficantecomo el responsable del espeluz-nante crimen.

Pero dos meses después, las au-toridades no han identificado auna sola víctima.

Los 49 cuerpos,decapitados y sinmanos ni pies, ar-rojados en la car-retera de NuevoLeón, parecenahora destinadosa una suerte cadavez más comúnen la guerra deMéxico contra lasdrogas: quedarpara siempre

anónimos, engrosando las filasde los muertos sin nombre.Casi 16,000 cuerpos no han sidoidentificados, afirma la ComisiónNacional de Derechos Humanos,un organismo gubernamentalautónomo. En total, 24,000 per-sonas están reportadas como de-saparecidas. Mucha gente diceque la Policía del país está sim-plemente abrumada por la canti-dad de casos, pues lidia conmalas condiciones forenses y conla renuencia de algunos testigosy parientes de víctimas a colabo-rar.

Unidentified Bodies, MissingCases Mount In Mexico


Lead-ingLatino lead-ers are criti- cizing theFox News website Fox NewsLatino, saying it lacks credi-bility among Hispanics byprofiting from them even asthey are demonized by theconservative parent networkknown for anti-immigrantcoverage.

Since it launched in 2010,Fox News Latino has posi-tioned itself as "the place togo for news that impacts theLatino Community," coveringnews, politics, entertainment,and other stories throughthat lens.

"We were skeptical when weheard about this," Inez Gon-zalez, executive vice presi-dent of the National HispanicMedia Coalition, said of thecreation of Fox News Latino."Fox News is a big voice inthe anti-Latino rhetoric, sowe were skeptical. Some ofthe articles that I have seenhave been interesting to me,[but] I think the owners arehypocrites. I think they aretotally forgetting there isdouble speak here.

"They should be called on fortheir hypocrisy because theyare blasting Latinos in Eng-lish media and courting us inLatino media, hoping no onewho is reading it bilingual. Idon't use Fox News Latino asa source. I would not use FoxNews as a source because Iknow their history. I wouldquestion their statistics be-cause I know where they arecoming from. They're stillFox."

Indeed, the tone of Fox NewsLatino's coverage of issueslike immigration dramaticallydiffers from that of otherparts of the Fox News family,which typically adopt a hard-line slant.

Last month after PresidentObama announced that hisadministration would no

longer seek todeport youngundocu-mented immi-

grants whowere brought

to this countryas children, FoxNews Latino

covered the storyusing the headline "ObamaAdministration Halts Depor-tations for UndocumentedChildren" and featuring aphoto of a Latina activist infront of the U.S. Capitol.

By contrast, the Fox Nationwebsite headlined its storyon the subject "Obama Ad-ministration Bypasses Con-gress, to Give Immunity, StopDeporting Younger Illegals"accompanied by a photo ofhandcuffed young Latinos.

Such disparities in coveragebetween the Latino-focusedwebsite and the rest of theright-wing network are fre-quent, with other instancesincluding a January 2011 bor-der shooting and lastmonth's Supreme Court rul-ing on Arizona's immigrationlaw.

Fox News hosts and person-alities regularly demonize im-migrants, refusing toabandon the slur "illegals"though other outlets havedone so. The network alsocheerleads controversial im-migration laws like those inArizona and Alabama, andoutlandish smears of immi-grants.

"Their record will ultimatelycatch up with them, you can'tbe a media company andthink you are hiding yourmessage," said Arturo Var-gas, executive director of theNational Association ofLatino Elected and AppointedOfficials. "Latinos aren'tdumb. They understand whois on their side and who isnot."

For Angelo Falcón, presidentof the National Institute forLatino Policy, the entire FoxNews Latino approach is away to profit off Latinoswhile hurting them on thehome network.

"One of the things that is in-teresting about the Latino sit-uation is how many peoplesee the Latino community asa market to make moneyfrom," he said in an inter-view. "When you look at theschizophrenia with Latinoson Fox, the bottom line reallyis to exploit the communityfor profit. That's really thebottom line. In the case ofFox, that whole motive isvery raw, it is really evidentthey just don't see in them-selves any kind of contradic-tion. It is like two differentworlds, they just play off ofthat."

Falcón agreed Fox NewsLatino "covers a lot of goodstuff," but added that FoxNews has "written off thiscommunity, they are propa-ganda. This is an admissionthey are not fair and bal-anced. It is so obvious."

Lisa Navarrete, a spokesper-son for the National Councilof La Raza, also found aprofit motivein the FoxNews Latinoenterprise:"At the endof the day,Murdoch is abusinessman firstand their po-litical viewscome sec-ond. Theylook at thedemographicnumbers."

She saidmany Latinoshave troubletrusting any-thing fromFox News,even if itcomes froma Latino-fo-cused site.

"There is anenormousamount ofskepticism inour commu-nity on FoxNews andhow theyhave dealtwith our

community," Navarette said."It is a huge brand problembecause if you say 'Fox News'it triggers in someone thatthey are going to come to thesite with a lot of skepticism.

"They are starting in a holewhen they are dealing withour community, our commu-nity doesn't trust Fox News,doesn't like Fox News. I havea lot of skepticism about howsuccessful they're going tobe."

Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-IL),chair of the CongressionalHispanic Caucus ImmigrationTask Force, also cited FoxNews' anti-Latino history in astatement to Media Matters:

Whenever Fox News Channeldiscusses immigration, theyalways run B-roll or stockfootage of menacing youngLatino men scaling the bor-der fence or being arrested,sometimes through night-vi-sion scopes. The images arestraight out of a Sharron

Angle advertisement. So nomatter what you are sayingabout sensible immigrationreform in an interview, theimage Fox News Channel isdriving home to its audienceis that all immigrants areLatino male criminals whocame across the southernborder.

I go on Fox News Channelanyway because if I didn't,their audience would neverhear a perspective that is inline with most Americans andmost Republicans, that massdeportation or driving out 10to 12 million people is sillyand we need a different ap-proach.

Fox News and Fox NewsLatino did not respond to re-quests for comment.

Joe Strupp, 46, is a 24-yearveteran journalist who hasbeen with Media Matters ForAmerica since February2010.

Chicharito: La historia de Javier Hernández por Hernán Vera Alvarez

Junto a los artistas de Hollywood, nadie dudaque los jugadores de fútbol son las estrellasde nuestros tiempos. Ricos y famosos, ocu-pan las portadas de las revistas más impor-tantes y participan en eventos de caridad.Para muchos, luego de Lionel Messi, es JavierHernández-mejor conocido como El Chichar-ito-quien integra ese Olimpo de prestigiodonde viven Pelé, Di Stéfano, Cruyff yMaradona. Y como ellos, ahora tiene unlibro sobre su vida.

Chicharito: La historia de Javier Hernández(publicado por Vintage Español)es la biografíano autorizada del joven mexicano que juega dedelantero en el Manchester United de la LigaPremier de Inglaterra. Su autor, el periodistaCharles Samuel, quien con la obsesión del bueninvestigador rastrea las huellas de Chicharito

por la ciudad de Guadalajara-allí nació un 1 dejunio de 1988-, las ligas menores de fútboldonde ya a los 9 años mostraba sus dotes dejugador de estilo elegante, su destacado papelen el Club Deportivo Guadalajara, como su in-corporación a la selección mexicana y su vidaactual en Europa.

Samuel pudo entrevistar a Chicharito, a sus fa-miliares, a muchos de sus compañeros en elManchester United y acceder a fotos personalesdel jugador mexicano. Así, el lector se entera deque el joven heredó el apodo por el cual losfanáticos en el mundo lo conocen de su padre,Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, a quien le decían "ElChicharo" por su baja estatura y sus hermososojos verdes, rasgos que El Chicharito tambiénposee. O que a diferencia de otras estrellas deldeporte, Chicharito es la tercera generación defutbolistas: su padre participó en la CopaMundial de 1986 y su abuelo materno es TomásBalcázar, figura mítica del Guadalajara.

A propósito de este tema, el jugador comentaen el libro: "Ellos me ayudan mucho en la can-cha, puesto que también jugaban como de-lanteros, pero me han ayudado mucho másfuera de ella. Eso es lo más difícil para los ju-gadores jóvenes; hay mucho dinero de pormedio y varias cosas pueden desequilibrarte.No soy mejor que los demás, a pesar de misgoles, mi éxito y mis medallas".

El delantero, que al ser vendido por más de 9millones de dólares al Manchester United seconvirtió en uno de los futbolistas más carosdel deporte mexicano, y que en mayo de esteaño fue nombrado embajador de la UNICEF, to-davía se sorprende de su gloria deportiva.

Por sobre todos los datos, las declaraciones defamiliares y amigos, hay algo que se suele olvi-dar y es probablemente lo más destacado del

libro y de otras biografías de ídolos del deporte,y es que en la lectura de sus vidas (muchas deellas difíciles o no tan idílicas como pensaría)hay un mensaje inspirador que puede cambiarla vida de muchas personas, en especial la delos adolescentes.

Charles Samuel es un periodista británico queha escrito ampliamente sobre el ManchesterUnited en revistas de fanáticos de la liga, per-iódicos y sitios web por más de una década.

Next to Hollywood celebrities no one can arguethat soccer players are the stars of our times.Rich and famous, they appear on the front cov-ers of magazines, do commercials, and partici-pate in charity events. For many, after LionelMessi, it is Javier Hernandez-better known as ElChicharito who joins the prestigious Olympus ofsoccer superstars such as: Pelé, Di Stéfano,Cruyff, and Maradona. Now like them, he has abook about his life.

Chicharito: The Javier Hernandez Story, pub-lished by Vintage Español, is the nonofficial bi-ography of this young Mexican who plays as aforward for the Manchester United PremierLeague of England. The author Charles Samuel,with the obsession of a good investigator andjournalist follows the footsteps of Chicharitofrom the city of Guadalajara (where he wasborn on June 1, 1988), to the minor leagueswhere at the age of 9 he was already showingthe elegant style of his soccer talents, then hisdistinguished performance in the Club De-portivo Guadalajara, up to the time he joins theMexico National football team and his currentlife in Europe.

Samuel was able to interview Chicharito, hisfamily members and many of his teammates ofthe Manchester United, as well as have accessto his personal photos. The book reveals how

this young soccer star became known as "ElChicharito" (the little pea). His father, JavierHernandez Gutierrez, a former soccer playerwas known as "El Chicharo" (the pea) because ofhis short stature and blue eyes; physical fea-tures that El Chicaritoalso possesses. Not onlydoes he inherit his father's soccer abilities andphysical attributes, but also his nickname.Chicharito is the 3rd generation soccer playerin his family: his father participated in theWorld Cup of 1988 that took place in Mexicoand his maternal grandfather was Tomás Bal-cázar, a legendary player from Guadalajara.

In regards to his father and grandfather,Chicharitocomments in the book, "They helpedme a lot on the soccer field given that they alsoplayed as forwards, but they have helped meeven more off the field. That is the most difficultthing for a young player; there's so muchmoney involved and various things can take youoff track. I am not better than others despitemy goals, my success, or my medals".

Chicharito was sold for more than 9 million dol-lars to Manchester United, becoming one of themost expensive soccer players in Mexican soc-cer, and this year he became a UNICEF Ambas-sador.

Beyond the interviews with family and friends,there is something that is often forgotten and isprobably the most important aspect of thesetypes of books -the personal challenges thatmany young athletes have had to overcome.This book provides an inspirational messagethat can help change the life of many people,especially that of adolescents.

Charles Samuel is a British journalist who haswritten widely about Manchester United forbroadsheets, websites and fan magazines forover a decade.


WHAT HAPPENS WHENYOU CAN’T PAY YOUR

MEDICAL BILLS?By Jason Alderman

It’s no secret that health care costs have been spiralingout of control for years. To fight back, your best bet is tobe a well-informed consumer: Know the true costs ofmedical procedures, supplies and medications so youcan bargain effectively; carefully anticipate and track

medical expenses; and stay on top of your bills.

But sometimes, even when you follow the rules you stillcan get burned. I’ve heard many appalling stories aboutpeople – even those with comprehensive insurance –who have been denied benefits, over-charged, sent tocollections or even forced to file for bankruptcy becausethey couldn’t pay their medical bills.

Here are a few coping strategies:Carefully review each doctor, lab or hospital bill andmatch it against the Explanation of Benefits statementthat shows how much they were reimbursed by the in-surance company. Also, watch for items that may havebeen charged to you by mistake such as:• Medications, supplies, treatments or meals you didn’treceive while hospitalized or getting an outpatient pro-cedure• Duplicate charges for a single procedure (such as x-rays, MRIs and lab work), including those that had to beredone due to a technician’s error.• Charges for a full day’s hospitalization when youchecked out early; or private room rates when youshared a suite.

A few additional cost-savings tips• Ask whether your employer offers flexible spendingaccounts, which let you pay for eligible out-of-pockethealth care and/or dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis. • Use online price-comparison services like HealthcareBlue Book and OutofPocket.com to research going

rates for a variety of medical services. • Unless it’s a true emergency, try to avoid emergencyrooms and use an urgent care network facility affiliatedwith your insurance company or ask your doctor for rec-ommendations.

Bottom line: Know what health services cost and don’tbe afraid to negotiate. You’ll haggle over the price of acar – why not your health?

Todos sabemos que los costos de la atención médicahan crecido descontroladamente en los últimos años.Para hacerle frente, lo mejor que puede hacer es estarbien informado: conocer los verdaderos costos de losprocedimientos médicos, los insumos y los medicamen-tos, para poder negociar exitosamente; prever y hacerun seguimiento minucioso de los gastos médicos; ytener el control de sus facturas.

Pero a veces, aun cumpliendo las reglas, puede salirperjudicado. He escuchado muchas historias terriblesde personas a quienes, incluso teniendo seguromédico, se le han negado beneficios, se le ha cobradode más, se las ha derivado a agencias de cobranza ohasta se las ha obligado a presentar la quiebra por nopoder pagar sus cuentas médicas.

Estas son algunas estrategias para evitarlo:Revise detenidamente la factura de cada médico, labo-ratorio u hospital y compárela con la declaración de laExplicación de los Beneficios que muestra el montoque la compañía de seguro les ha reembolsado.

Además, busque si no le han facturado algún ítem demás por error, como por ejemplo:- Medicamentos, insumos, tratamientos o comidas queno haya recibido durante su hospitalización otratamiento ambulatorio.- Cargos duplicados para un solo procedimiento (comoradiografías, resonancias magnéticas y análisis de lab-oratorio), incluyendo los procedimientos que debieronrepetirse por algún error del técnico.- Cargos por un día de internación completo cuandousted se retiró temprano; o cargos por haber estado enuna habitación privada cuando en realidad estuvo enuna habitación compartida.

Algunos otros consejos para reducir los costos:- Averigüe si su empleador ofrece cuentas de gastosflexibles, que le permiten pagar ciertos gastos médicossuyos y/o de sus dependientes de su bolsillo antes deimpuestos.- Utilice servicios de comparación de precios en línea,como el Healthcare Blue Book y OutofPocket.com paraver las tarifas actuales que se cobran por los diferentesservicios médicos.- A menos que se trate de una emergencia, trate de evi-tar las salas de emergencia y utilice los servicios dealgún establecimiento de emergencias de la red deprestadores de su compañía de seguro, o pídale re-comendaciones a su médico.- En resumen: Sepa cuánto cuestan los servicios desalud y no tenga miedo de negociar. Si regatea el pre-cio de un auto, ¿por qué no el de su salud?

Según reportes de la prensa, otros 106 niños en esasedades requirieron atención de emergencia por inci-dentes de casi ahogamiento. Estos incidentes sirvencomo un recordatorio aleccionador sobre cómo un díade diversión en la piscina puede convertirse rápida-mente en una tragedia.

Las cifras muestran que los niños pequeños, in-cluyendo aquellos entre uno y dos años, son particular-mente vulnerables a ahogamiento porque el 72 porciento de los niños reporta-dos como ahogados desdeel Día de los Caídos teníamenos de 5 años.

A la luz de esta información,la campaña está instando aque parques acuáticos,piscinas municipales y otrasinstalaciones acuáticas eninteriores y en exteriorescelebren el Día Piscina Se-gura, Diversión Asegurada,un evento anual que pro-mueve la seguridad en y alrededor del agua y que ex-horta a las todas las personas a siempre disfrutar conseguridad las piscinas. Las actividades del Día PiscinaSegura, Diversión Asegurada se llevaron a cabo entodo el país durante la semana del 22 al 29 de julio de2012. Más de 70 instalaciones en 30 estados han reg-istrado sus eventos con la CPSC durante dicha sem-ana. Los eventos abarcan desde clases de natacióngratuitas, entrenamiento en resucitación cardiopul-monar (CPR, por sus siglas en inglés), hasta la dis-tribución a padres de familia y encargados de niños dematerial informativo sobre la campaña Piscina Segura,Diversión Asegurada.

Texas tuvo la cifra más elevada de ahogamientos (13)en este período de tiempo y California, Nueva York,Carolina del Norte, Ohio y Pennsylvania reportaroncinco ahogamientos en cada uno de esos estados. Deacuerdo al más reciente informe sobre sumersiones(pdf en inglés) de la CPSC y tomando como base es-

tadísticas del período 2007-2009, un promedio de 390niños menores de 15 años mueren cada año deahogamientos relacionados con piscinas o spas.Alrededor de 5,200 lesiones por sumersión en piscinaso spas en niños menores de 15 años fueron tratadasen salas de emergencias.

La campaña Piscina Segura, Diversión Aseguradaofrece información sobre las medidas sencillas quepadres, encargados de niños y dueños de piscinas

pueden adoptar para asegurarque los niños y los adultos per-manezcan seguros alrededorde piscinas y spas:

Permanezca cerca, esté atentoy vigile a los niños dentro yalrededor de la piscina. Estosignifica nunca dejar niños sinvigilar en una piscina o spa;siempre vigilar a los niñosatentamente alrededor de todotipo de cuerpo de agua; en-señar a los niños consejos

básicos de seguridad en el agua, y mantener a losniños lejos de los desagües, cañerías y otras aberturasen las piscinas.Aprenda y practique habilidades de seguridad en elagua. Esto significa que cada miembro de la familiadebe saber nadar y debe aprender a aplicar re-sucitación cardiopulmonar (CPR, por sus siglas en in-glés) en niños y adultos.

Tenga los equipos adecuados para su piscina o spa.Entre estos se incluyen: cercas, cubierta de seguridadcon cierre, tapas adecuadas para los drenajes a fin deevitar atrapamientos, y equipos de rescate como sal-vavidas y un palo de alcance.

According to media reports, an additional 106 chil-dren of that age required emergency response fornear-drowning incidents. These incidents provide asobering reminder of how a fun day at the pool canquickly turn tragic.

The figures show that young children and toddlersare especially vulnerable to drowning because 72percent of the children reported to have drownedsince Memorial Day were younger than 5 years old.

In light of this information, the campaign is encour-aging water parks, municipal swimming pools andother indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities to cele-brate Pool Safely Day, an annual event promoting

water safety that encourages all Americans to poolsafely every day. Participants from all around theU.S. participated in Pool Safely Day activities dur-ing the week of July 22-29, 2012. More than 70 facil-ities in 30 states have registered events with CPSCduring that week. Events will range from free swim-ming lessons, to CPR training, to distributing PoolSafely information materials to parents and care-givers.

POSEER ARMAS PARA LA PROTECCIÓNVS

LAS ARMAS DE LA DELINCUENCIA Y LA VIOLENCIA.... Contnuación del artículo en español de pag.6 Por el Dr. José A. Flores

Cada vez que una gran tragedia, la amenaza terror-ista, o un ataque, o un tiroteo se lleva a cabo en nues-tra nación, nos vemos obligados por la política de losdefensores de control de armas a enfocar el tema dela eliminación de las armas de las calles y de lasmanos de criminales. Estas son causas nobles ya quelos delincuentes y los enfermos mentales no deberíantener acceso a las armas. El problema es en el de-sarme de todos los estadounidenses y restringir lostipos de armas, que disfrutan de la caza, tiro alblanco, entrenamiento de supervivencia en las habil-idades, y las autodefensas. El uso de armas de asaltoes común que los civiles para-militares de formacióncomo el de milicianos que están listos para defendera nuestra nación en el caso de una guerra total ennuestra propia tierra. El uso de clips de bala que lle-van cinco o más conchas son también útiles en lasprácticas de tiro y necesario para una milicia ciu-dadana descrita por nuestra Constitución. Los propi-etarios de armas, la Asociación Nacional del Rifle yotros grupos de derechos de armas de fuego están enlo cierto al decir a los políticos que las armas no sonel problema ... manteniéndolos en las manos de losestadounidenses responsables, sin mala intención esla cuestión. No era el arma que llevó a cabo la vio-lencia, pero el loco detrás del arma. ¡El mantener lasarmas fuera de las manos de los malhechores es lacuestión!

Las comunidades con un gran número de ciudadanoscon permiso de portación de armas no han experi-mentado el tipo de caos que las ciudades que notienen CAC. De hecho, ha habido una serie de inci-dentes en los últimos años, donde los autores de laviolencia de masas que se hayan anotado, se detuvoen sus pistas por ciudadanos armados privados, fun-cionarios de seguridad, y la policía militar en servicioy fuera. Tal vez deberíamos mirar a una mejor se-lección, pruebas psicológicas, y el cumplimiento denuestras leyes para acorralar a los delincuentes querepresentan un peligro evidente para nuestras co-munidades, para que no nos quitan el derecho fun-damental de propiedad del arma provista por laConstitución de Estados Unidos se describe en la Se-gunda Enmienda.La Segunda Enmienda de la Constitución: Una miliciabien regulada, siendo necesaria para la seguridad deun estado libre, el derecho del pueblo a poseer y por-tar armas, no será infringido.

Nuestros antepasados, incluyendo a George Wash-ington reconocieron que la mayor defensa de la lib-ertad reside en el pueblo. Una ciudadanía bienarmado es la mejor defensa que una nación puedeposeer en contra de los enemigos de la libertad.

JORDAN SHIMMELL WINS HIS 2ND PRO FIGHT BY 2ND ROUND TKO

Jordan Shimmell won his 2nd bout the same way he did his first which was via 2nd round TKO andis now 2-0 with 2 KO's. Jordan stopped his opponent at 2:35 of the 2nd round. Jordan was facing amuch bigger boxer than himself as he was facing Mario Huffman of Cincinnati, Ohio who is 6'6" andweighed in at 263 pounds while Jordan is 6'3" and weighed in at 206.5 pounds. Huffman had losthis 4 round pro debut in April by split decision and was hoping to bounce back with a win in his 2ndfight. Jordan made sure that those plans would not be fullfilled as he stalked his opponent andused his hand speed, counter-punching skills and power to back Huffman to the ropes quite often.Jordan threw hard body punches and counters to the head that hurt Huffman. Finally after a bar-rage of hooks and uppercuts in the 2nd round, the referee determined that Huffman had takenenough punishment and waived off the fight. Just like Jordan's first fight his opponent's cornermenwere waiving a towel at precisely the same moment that the referee stepped in to stop the fight.Once again Jordan Shimmell displayed strong punches and good boxing skills in winning his fight.

Jordan received a warm welcome at the LC Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio where the fight was held. Jor-dan had a good number of fans in the crowd plus the local fans also got behind him during the bouteven though his opponent was from nearby Cincinnati, Ohio. Jordan has now won 2 pro fights injust 21 days and looks forward to staying busy in the near future.

Jordan ganó su segunda pelea profesional. Shimmell pelea de la misma manera que hizo suprimera, que fue a través de segundo nocaut técnico y ahora es de 2-0 con dos nocauts. Jordan dejóa su rival a las 2:35 de la 2 ª ronda. Jordan se enfrenta a un boxeador mucho más grande que símismo, mientras se enfrentaba a Mario Huffman de Cincinnati, Ohio, que es 6'6 "y pesaba 263 li-bras, mientras que Jordania es 6'3" y pesaba 206,5 kilos.

The Expendables 2The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal...Bar-ney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham),Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Toll Road(Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- withnewest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie(Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (BruceWillis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly sim-ple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney andhis band of old-school mercenaries. But when things gowrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expend-ables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territorywhere the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on pay-back, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through oppos-

ing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick oftime — six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance ofpower in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against thevillainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. Rated: PG-13.Tras la muerte de Tool (Mickey Rourke), sus compañeros juran vengar su muerte.Pero todo se complica cuando la hija de Tool, la guapa Fiona, es capturada por un de-spiadado dictador.

La cinta original se basaba en la historia de las Supremes

(por cierto, algo que décadas después también haría“Dreamgirls”). Así, se nos contaba la vida de tres hermanasque comenzaban cantando en el coro de una iglesia y queterminaban formando un exitoso grupo musical (porsupuesto, también se nos describían sus problemas person-ales). En esta nueva versión, Sparks se pondrá en la piel del

personaje que da título a la película, mientras que Houston dará vida a su madre.Epps será Satin, un cómico que se casa con una de las chicas y que la introduce en elmundo de las drogas.

La calabacita es uno de los alimentos menoscalóricos de la cesta de la compra por lo quesu inclusión en los regímenes de adelgaza-miento resulta muy recomendable.

Si bien es ciertoque las vaca-ciones están he-chas pararelajarse y‘rendirse’ anteesos caprichosgastronómicosque el resto delaño no solemospermitirnos, estono significa quedebamos des-cuidar totalmentenuestra ali-mentación convir-tiéndola en un‘festival’ de hela-dos, fritos o co-midasexcesivamentecalóricas a todashoras. Por ello, esimportante noperder de vistaaquellos produc-tos que, dado subajo contenidograso, ayudan aequilibrar unpoco la balanza...Es el caso del cal-abacín, queademás deposeer un altovalor nutritivo (1,2 gramos de pro-teínas, 0,1gramos de grasay vitaminas A, B1,B2, y C) aportatan sólo 14calorías por cada100 gramos deproducto.

Además, su bajocontenido enhidratos de carbono lo convierte en un alimentoideal para las personas diabéticas, y su escasacantidad de sodio lo hace muy útil en la dieta delos hipertensos. También, su contenido en fibravegetal y la presencia de semillas en su pulpa fa-vorecen y mejoran el tránsito intestinal.

En cuanto a su forma de consumo, los amantesde esta verdura cuentan con infinidad desabrosas posibilidades a la hora de cocinarlos. Ala plancha con unas gotas de aceite y un pocode sal resultarán no sólo deliciosos sino perfec-

tos para cuidar la línea, pero tambiénpodrá prepararlos rebozados, empana-dos, fritos, rellenos, como guarniciónpara carnes o pescados, etc.

ALGUNOS TRUCOS

- A la hora de elegirlos se ha de escogerlos que tengan una piel de un bonitocolor verde, bien brillante y sin man-chas. Es preferible no comprarlos de untamaño demasiado grande y su pedún-culo ha de estar bien firme.

- De modo general conviene pelarlos,pero si es fresco y muy tierno, no hacefalta pelarlo, de esta manera estaránmás sabrosos.
