MICHAEL TUFFLEMIREBEST FOR G.R. CITY
COMMISSION -3RD WARD SEAT
The Grand Rapids City Commission ispoised to witness a heated campaign forthe 3rd Ward City Commission seat beingvacated by James White. The GrandRapids City Commission Primary Electionwill be held on August 6th. In May, MichaelTufflemire, a youthful and decorated vet-eran of the Iraq War entered the race. Hisoutstanding community service and re-spected reputation as a civic leader withgrassroots support should lead him to aneasy victory over an embattled and highlycriticized SenitaLanear (formerGrand RapidsBoard of Educa-tion Presidentand supporter ofBernard Taylorwho is currentlysuing the GRPSfor nearly half amillion dollars).
Senita Lanearfailed to hold theinterests of Grand Rapids first in hercharge of the Grand Rapids PublicSchools. She failed to move the GR Boardto become more transparent. Under herleadership nepotism and cronyism (the hir-ing of family members to key posts and un-qualified persons into highly paidadministrative posts) ruled the day! For-mer Superintendent Bernard Taylor ap-peared to be artful at creating positions for“loved ones” and rewarding his staff withmulti-year contracts and inflated salaries.A mere review of public dollar supportedsalaries and staff qualifications in the edu-cation organization of GRPS will raise eye-brows. Unfortunately, our current boardmembers and major media seem to lookthe other way as the practice of hiring andplacing family and unqualified persons intohighly paid administrative roles continues.
Where was the accountability? Senita Lan-ear and other GR Board Members with po-litical ambitions should take note of the factthat an educated voter electorate will notsupport candidates that have failed tokeep the public trust. We expect morefrom our public servants!
I believe that Michael Tufflemire will makean excellent Grand Rapids City Commis-sioner and will work for the citizens ofGrand Rapids to bring about neededchange for neighborhoods and the aver-age person. He has served his countrywith honor and integrity! He has alreadybeen active in making our laws more rea-sonable through his decriminalization ef-forts! He deserves our support! I endorseMichael Tufflemire for the 3rd Ward – Cityof Grand Rapids Commission Seat.
Our vote is our voice!
La Comisión de la Ciudad de GrandRapids está a punto de presenciar unacampaña con mucha energía para elpuesto de tercera sala en la Comisión cualse está desocupado por James White.Las elecciones Primarias se tomaran lugarel 6 de agosto. En mayo, MichaelTufflemire, un joven, veterano de la guerrade Irak y decorado con medallas de valor,entró en la carrera. Su servicio a la comu-nidad destacada y respetada reputacióncomo un líder cívico con el apoyo popular
le debeconducira una fácilvictoria.
Será unav i c t o r i asobre unasediadoy alta-m e n t ecri t icadoS e n i t aL a n e a r
(ex presidenta del Gran Consejo de Edu-cación y partidario de Bernard Taylorquien actualmente está demandando a losGRPS casi medio millón de dólares).
Senita Lanear no logró abogar fielmentelos intereses de los votantes de GrandRapids bajo su cargo de las EscuelasPúblicas de Grand Rapids. Ella no pudomover la Junta de GR para ser más trans-parente. Bajo su liderazgo el nepotismo yel amiguísimo (la contratación de famil-iares en puestos claves y personas no cal-ificadas en puestos administrativos muybien pagados) gobernaron el día! El exSuperintendente Bernard Taylor parecíaser ingenioso a la creación de puestospara sus "seres queridos" y recompenso asu personal con contratos de varios añosy salarios inflados. Dinero de los que pag-amos impuestos. Una simple revisión delos salarios compatibles y las cualifica-ciones del personal en la organización dela educación de GRPS elevará las cejas.Por desgracia, nuestros directores ac-tuales y los principales medios de comu-nicación parecen mirar hacia otro ladocomo la práctica de la contratación y lacolocación de familiares y personas nocalificadas en las funciones administrati-vas muy bien pagados continúan hoyrespaldo por dólares del público.
¿Dónde estaba la rendición de cuentas?Senita Lanear y otros miembros de laJunta de GR con ambiciones políticasdeben tomar en cuenta el hecho de queun electorado de votantes educados noapoyara a los candidatos que no han lo-grado mantener la confianza del público.Esperamos más de nuestros servidorespúblicos!

Arpaio and His Deputies Have Engaged inRacial Profiling Against Latinos in MaricopaCounty
PHOENIX – Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio relied on racialprofiling and illegal detentions to target Latinos, a federal dis-trict court said today. The ruling comes following a three-weektrial in July and August over a pattern of unlawful practices byArpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office on immigrationsweeps and traffic stops.
"This is a victory for everyone," said Cecillia Wang, director ofthe ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project. "Singling people out fortraffic stops and detentions because they are Latino is uncon-stitutional and just plain un-American. Let this be a warning toany agency trying to enforce the 'show me your papers' provi-sion of SB 1070 and similar laws — there is no exception in theConstitution for immigration enforcement."
The American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Arizona, theMexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund(MALDEF), and the law firm Covington & Burling LLP repre-sented a class of Latino residents and a Latino community or-ganization, Somos America.
On Sept. 25, a federal appeals court confirmed that Arpaio's of-fice cannot detain people solely on the suspicion that they areundocumented by refusing to reverse a lower court's ruling.Today, U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow issued a decision inMelendres v. Arpaio that found the policies and practices ofArpaio and his office are discriminatory, violate the Fourth andFourteenth Amendments and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of1964.
"Today's decision vindicates the rights of Latinos in MaricopaCounty who've been terrorized by discriminatory MCSO prac-tices and have had their communities torn apart," said DanPochoda, legal director of the ACLU of Arizona. "The court rec-ognized that racial profiling within the Maricopa County Sheriff'sOffice is a pervasive and widespread problem that can only beaddressed through substantive, meaningful changes to eradi-cate this egregious practice and begin rebuilding public trust."
"I applaud the many individuals who came forward to tell theirstories with courage and dignity. This decision brings us onestep closer to justice," said Lydia Guzman of Somos America. "Ilook forward to working together to ensure that the MCSO is notallowed to profile our community any longer."
"The evidence fully supports the finding of an equal protectionclause violation," said Stanley Young, a partner with Covington& Burling. "We proved a discriminatory intent, through the sher-iff's own internal correspondence and public statements, aswell as admissions that the MCSO uses Hispanic ethnicity as areason to pursue immigration inquiries. We also proved a harm-ful effect, in the form of higher stop rates and longer stop timesfor Hispanics. Even apart from racial discrimination, we alsoproved that the MCSO improperly detains motorists and pas-sengers without having an adequate basis. All of these viola-tions will now need to stop."
"The voices of Sheriff Arpaio's racial profiling victims have beenheard," said Nancy Ramirez, western regional counsel,MALDEF. "Today's decision vindicates Maricopa County com-munity members who have long suffered from the sheriff's dis-criminatory and illegal practices. We look forward to seeingmuch needed reforms implemented at the MCSO."
Federal Court RulesArizona Sheriff JoeArpaio Violated U.S.ConstitutionJOE ARPAIO INCURRIÓ EN DISCRIMINACIÓNCONTRA HISPANOS, ESTABLECE UN JUEZFEDERAL
Un juez federal de Estados Unidos dictaminó que laoficina del controvertido alguacil del condado deMaricopa (Arizona), Joe Arpaio, incurrió en discrimi-nación racial contra conductores hispanos y violósus derechos constitucionales.
El fallo del juez Murray Snow, divulgado hoy, se pro-dujo en respuesta a una demanda colectiva poracusaciones de prácticas de perfil racial en contrade conductores hispanos.
Snow declaró que las políticas de Arpaio violan losderechos constitucionales y ordenó a su oficinadejar de usar la raza o ascendencia como un mo-tivo para parar y detener a los conductores de ve-hículos.
Arpaio se hace llamar a sí mismo el "sheriff másduro" del país y es conocido por su mano dura conla inmigración ilegal y la población carcelaria.
La ley SB1070 de Arizona es la más dura contra lainmigración ilegal del país y permite a la policíapedir "los papeles" de aquellos a quienes detengapor infracciones, incluso menores, y tenga"sospecha razonable" de que son indocumentados.
El Tribunal Supremo anuló el año pasado buenaparte de esa ley, pero no esa disposición que per-mite pedir "los papeles".

The Primary Election is Tuesday, Au-gust 6th, 2013 and one youthful Latinawants voters to know that she wouldmake an excellent addition to theWyoming City Council. Currently theWyoming City Council has mostlyWhite males making key decisions fora city that has become very diverse.Hispanic Americans have doubledtheir population in the City of Wyomingover the past 10 years to nearly 20%of the residents yet they have very littleinput into the political decision-makingthat goes on at City Hall.
Wyoming has also experienced eco-nomic shifts witnessing high-end re-tailers leaving the thriving upscalesuburban community that it once was.Roger’s Department Store now sitsempty as do many of the shops in theRogers Plaza. The 28th St. Studio andother iconic business that once madeWyoming a shopper’s destination pointare gone and the area is no longer asattractive to consumers.
Candidate Awilda E. Diaz, said, “TheWyoming City Council currently needsnew technical knowledge. I want tomake it a priority to increase our taxbase with small businesses. I think weneed to focus on re-developing 28thSt. We need to be proactive in everydecision we make. When elected, Iwill make it a priority to strategicallyplan the city in a way that every resi-dent benefits from it.”
She continued, “I currently work in lawenforcement for Kent County I wouldlike to work on city ordinance on curb-ing crime. I strongly support the firedepartment and the efforts they maketo make our city safe.” The WyomingFire Department is understaffed andmuch of the cuts in recent years aredue to the lack of tax revenue base.
Awilda E. Diaz earned her Bachelor’sDegree from Calvin College and holdsa Master’s Degree in Public Adminis-tration from Grand Valley State Univer-sity. Awilda is employed in theJuvenile Probation Department of theKent County 17th Circuit Court and isresponsible for monitoring juvenileprobation clients.

As a Hispanic female myself, Iknow what it’s like to live in the areaand I know the strengths and weak-nesses within the area.

Cuando sea elegido, voy a dar priori-dad a la planificación estratégica de la ciudad deuna manera "que cada residente se beneficia deella.”Ella continuó: "Actualmente trabajo en el departa-
mento de correc-ciones del con-dado de Kent.Me gustaría tra-bajar en la orde-nanza municipalsobre la reduc-ción de la delin-cuencia. Apoyofirmemente el cuerpo de bomberos y de los es-fuerzos que hacen para hacer segura nuestra ciu-dad. "El Departamento de Bomberos de Wyominges escaso y la mayor parte de los recortes en losúltimos años se deben a la falta de base de los in-gresos fiscales.”

La banderafue izada por primera vez en el Fuerte Stanwix, sitio dela actual ciudad de Rome, estado de Nueva York, el 3de agosto de 1777. Tres días después, hizo su primeraaparición en la batalla de Oriskany, Nueva York, dondelos colonialistas obligaron a los ingleses a retirarse.Cada vez que un estado ingresaba a la Unión Ameri-cana se agregaba a la bandera una estrella y actual-
mente contiene 50 estrellas.
On June 14, 1777, in order to es-tablish an official flag for the newnation, the Continental Congresspassed the first Flag Act: "Re-solved, That the flag of the UnitedStates be made of thirteen stripes,alternate red and white; that theunion be thirteen stars, white in ablue field, representing a new Con-stellation."

Wash-ington,DC- TheU.S.SenateCommit-
tee of the Judiciary voted to advancethe “Gang of Eight” bipartisan immigra-tion reform proposal with a 13-5 votethat included Republicans and Democ-rats voting in favor of the measure. Sen-ate Bill 744, the Border Security,Economic Opportunity, and ImmigrationModernization Act, is one step closer tofixing America’s outdated immigrationsystem once and for all.
The following is a statement by VVotoLatino President and CEO, Maria TeresaKumar:“Immigration reform is personal to mil-lions of Americans and their family,friends, fellow church members andneighbors that make up the 11 millionundocumented immigrants who areeager to contribute to the American fab-ric. Today, all of us congratulate andthank the Gang of Eight, Sen. PatrickLeahy and the Senate Judiciary Com-mittee for their work, leadership andcourage to move this important piece oflegislation onto the Senate floor for ahistoric vote next month."Not only did the bipartisan immigrationbill come out of committee withoutmajor changes that could have threat-ened the diverse coalition supportingthe proposal, but it came out strongerthan it went in. Senators accepteddozens of Republican amendments thatstrengthened the proposal, includingmeasures that give American compa-nies access to the labor and talent theyneed to continue growing their business
without costing American jobs.
“The Gang of Eight bill has cleared amajor hurdle and today we celebratethis accomplishment, but our fight forsensible comprehensive immigration re-form continues. As the House of Repre-sentatives prepares to unveil their ownproposal, they should build on the Sen-ate’s work by expanding immigrants’access to healthcare, including preven-tive care that will strengthen familiesand reduce healthcare costs across thenation. We will also demand an earned,but fair path to citizenship for the 11 mil-lion because anything short of that willlead to a system that creates two sets ofresidents — American citizens and per-manent second class. That we willnever accept.

"La Banda de los Ocho ley ha despe-jado un obstáculo importante y hoy hayque celebrar este logro, pero nuestralucha por la reforma integral de inmi-gración sensata continúa.

También vamos a exigir elganado, pero justo camino a la ciu-

The Latino community celebrates the endeavors of a Cuban immigrant withthe 150th anniversary ofthe American Civil War.
Loreta Velazquez left her home in Havana,Cuba in 1849 to continue an education inNew Orleans, La. At the age of 14, sheeloped with a Texas United States Armyofficer, who later resigned his U.S. com-mission to join the Confederate Army atthe outbreak of the Civil War.
Velazquez wanted more in life. She did notwant to stay home and wait for her hus-band’s arrival. She wanted to be part ofthe fight.
She knew she was not able to join the mili-tary because of her gender. Therefore, likea thousand other women of the time, shetook on a new identity to secretly serve hercountry.
Velazquez changed her wardrobe and cuther hair, becoming Henry T. Buford fromArkansas.
In her disguise, Velazquez fought for theConfederacy, but became a spy for theUnion. She broke all the social rules of hertime and decried the corruption of wartimesociety, often being attacked by prominentSouthern leaders for her criticism of theConfederacy.
Her 1876 memoir, The Woman In Battle,tells about her time as Lieutenant HarryBuford and her experiences during herfour years of service in the Civil War.Though many historians doubt the proba-bility and truth behind many of her claims,the book has been the main source tolearn about Velazquez’s life.
Maria Agui Carter, award-winning directorand chair of the National Association ofLatino Producers, hoped to bring back tolife one of the most capturing narratives ofthe Civil War in her film, REBEL
REBEL premiered on PBS in May 24,2013, and continued where Ken Burns’
Civil War series left off. Carter examinedthe story of Loreta Velazquez through thebooks Velazquez wrote and the storiesshe left behind, hoping to bring proof tothe claims that have been questionedthroughout time.
Filled with dramatic sequences and majorbattle scenes, the film is an embodiment ofthe time. It was screened by the NationalParks at visitor centers and National Bat-tlefields parks around the county.
In her 12-year project, Carter brings backa story that reminds audiences not only ofthe rich history of the country, but of themany that risked their lives for the countrythey loved.
Loreta Velázquez salió de su casa en LaHabana, Cuba en 1849 para seguir unaeducación en Nueva Orleans, Luisiana ala edad de 14 años, se fugó con un oficialdel Ejército de Estados Unidos en Texas,quien luego renunció a su cargo enEE.UU. para unirse al ejército confeder-ado en la estallido de la Guerra Civil.
Velázquez quería más en su vida. Noquería quedarse en casa y esperar la lle-gada de su marido. Ella quería ser partede la lucha.
Sabía que no era capaz de unirse a lasfuerzas armadas a causa de su género.Por lo tanto, al igual que miles de otrasmujeres de la época, asumió una nuevaidentidad para servir a su país en secreto.Velázquez cambió su vestuario y se cortóel pelo, convirtiéndose Henry T. Buford deArkansas.
En su disfraz, Velazquez luchó por la Con-federación, pero se convirtió en un espíade la Unión. Ella rompió todas las reglassociales de su época y denunció la corrup-ción de la sociedad en tiempos de guerra,a menudo de ser atacado por los líderesdel sur prominentes de su crítica de laConfederación.
Su libro de memorias 1876, La Mujer en laBatalla, habla de su tiempo como tenienteHarry Buford y sus experiencias durantesus cuatro años de servicio en la Guerra
Civil. Aunque muchos historiadores dudande la probabilidad y la verdad detrás demuchas de sus afirmaciones, el libro hasido la fuente principal de aprender sobrela vida de Velázquez.
María Agui Carter, galardonado director ypresidente de la Asociación Nacional deProductores Latinos, y tiene la esperanzade traer de vuelta a la vida, los relatosmás importates de la Guerra Civil en supelícula, REBEL.
REBEL estrenó en PBS el 24 de mayo de2013 y continúa donde lo dejó la serie dela Guerra Civil de Ken Burns. Carter ex-
aminó la historia de Loreta Velázquez através de los libros de Velázquez escribióy las historias que dejó atrás, con la es-peranza de traer prueba a las reclama-ciones que han sido cuestionadas a travésdel tiempo.
Lleno de secuencias dramáticas y esce-nas de gran batalla, la película es una en-carnación de la época.
En su proyecto de 12 años, Carter traeuna historia que recuerda el público nosólo de la rica historia del país, sino de losmuchos que arriesgaron sus vidas por elpaís que amaban.

Just one in 100 parents believe their kids haveused prescription stimulants to boost grades, according to new U-M Nationa Poll on Children'sHealthANN ARBOR, Mich.,- As high schoolers prepare for final exams, teens na-tionwide may be tempted to use a "study drug" – a prescription stimulantor amphetamine – to gain an academic edge. But a new University ofMichigan poll shows only one in 100 parents of teens 13-17 years old be-lieves that their teen has used a study drug.
Study drugs refer to stimulant medications typically prescribed for thetreatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); commonly pre-scribed medicines in this category include Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin, andVyvanse.
Among parents of teens who have not been prescribed a stimulant med-ication for ADHD, just 1% said they believe their teen has used a studydrug to help study or improve grades, according to the latestUniversity ofMichigan Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health. How-ever, recent national data from Monitoring the Future indicate that 10% ofhigh school sophomores and 12% of high school seniors say they've usedan amphetamine or stimulant medication not prescribed by their doctor.
Sometimes students without ADHD take someone else's medication, to try
to stay awake and alert and try to improve their scores on exams or as-signments. Taking study drugs has not been proven to improve stu-dents' grades, and it can be very dangerous to their health, saysMatthew M. Davis, M.D., M.A.P.P., director of the C.S. Mott Children'sHospital National Poll on Children's Health.
"Taking these medications when they are not prescribed for you can leadto acute exhaustion, abnormal heart rhythms and even confusion and psy-chosis if the teens get addicted and go into withdrawal," says Davis.
"What we found in this poll is a clear mismatch between what parents be-lieve and what their kids are reporting. But even though parents may notbe recognizing these behaviors in their own kids, this poll also showed thatone-half of the parents say they are very concerned about this abuse intheir communities," Davis says.
White parents were most likely to say they are "very concerned" (54%),compared with black (38%) and Hispanic/Latino (37%) parents.
Despite this concern, only 27 percent of parents polled said they havetalked to their teens about using study drugs. Black parents were morelikely to have discussed this issue with their teens (41%), compared withwhite (27%) or Hispanic (17%) parents.
"If we are going to make a dent in this problem, and truly reduce the abuseof these drugs, we need parents, educators, health care professionals andall who interact with teens to be more proactive about discussing theissue," says Davis.
Over three-quarters of parents polled said they support school policiesaimed at stopping abuse of study drugs in middle schools and high
schools. Overall, 76% of parents said they believe schools should be re-quired to discuss the dangers of ADHD medication abuse.
Another 79% support a policy to require students with a prescription forADHD medications to keep their pills in a secure location such as theschool nurse's office—a requirement that would prohibit students from car-rying medicines of this nature that could potentially be shared with, or soldto, other students.
"We know teens may be sharing drugs or spreading the word that thesemedications can give their grades a boost. But the bottom line is that theseprescription medications are drugs, and teens who use them without a pre-scription are taking a serious risk with their health," Davis says.
One in ten teens using "studydrugs," but parents aren't paying attention
Uno de cada diez adolescentes usan “drogas de estudio", pero los padres noestán prestando atención.Como estudiantes de secundaria se preparan para los exámenes finales, losadolescentes en todo el país pueden tener la tentación de utilizar un"medicamento en estudio" - un estimulante recetado o anfetaminas - paraobtener una ventaja académica. Pero una nueva encuesta de la Universidadde Michigan muestra sólo uno de cada 100 padres de adolescentes 13-17años de edad cree que su hijo ha utilizado un fármaco de estudio.Fármacos del estudio se refieren a los medicamentos estimulantes general-mente prescritos para el tratamiento del trastorno de hiperactividad por dé-ficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH), medicamentos comúnmenteprescritos en esta categoría incluyen Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin y Vyvanse.Padres de niños blancos eran más propensos a decir que están "muy pre-ocupados" (54%), en comparación con los padres de hispanos / latinos(37%) y negros (38%) .A pesar de esta preocupación, sólo el 27 por ciento de los padres encuesta-dos dijeron que han hablado con sus hijos adolescentes sobre el uso de losfármacos del estudio. Padres negros tenían más probabilidades de haberdiscutido este tema con sus hijos (41%), en comparación con blancos (27%)los padres hispanos (17%).

Of all the obstacles that passionate entrepreneurs facewhen starting a business, a lack of financial resourcesis often the biggest and most difficult to overcome.Without the capital to buy inventory, purchase neces-sary equipment, or move into a commercial space,businesses become stuck and are not able to grow intomore profitable companies. This is true of the majorityof small businesses and startups, but a recent articlefrom Fox Business points out that it is an even biggerissue for Latino business owners:
“While the number of businesses owned by Latinoscontinues to rise, the challenges in securing capitalhave not shrunk…A primary challenge is the fact thatmany Latino businesses are young and don't have atradition of access to credit markets. Fortunately, thereare resources to help.”
Recent estimates show that Latino small businessesgenerate of $500 billion in business every year, andthat by 2020 it’s estimated that there will be 12 millionbusinesses owned by Latino entrepreneurs. Removingbarriers for this group of small business owners is cru-cial to strengthening our economy and adding to thediversity of our communities.
The good news is that there are organizations here inWest Michigan that aim to make business ownership
accessible to everyone. Grand Rapids Oppor-tunities for Women (GROW) is an intermedi-ary microlender through the Small BusinessAdministration (SBA). The microloan pro-gram can make it possible for people to receive loansto start or grow their business, even if they are notable to find funding through traditional bankingsources.
Have you considered starting a business, but think thatyou will not be able to get the resources you need? Ifso, I encourage you to look into the services availablethrough GROW, the West Michigan Hispanic Chamberof Commerce, and others. Our organizations are happyto help you find the training, financial resources, andconnections to empower you in small business suc-cess!

De todos los obstáculos que enfrentan los empresariosapasionados al iniciar un negocio, la falta de recursosfinancieros es a menudo el más grande y más difícil de
superar. Sin el capital para comprar el inventario, lacompra de equipo necesario, o mudarse a un localcomercial, las empresas se estancan y no son capacesde convertirse en empresas más rentables. Esto escierto para la mayoría de las pequeñas empresas y lasnuevas empresas, pero un reciente artículo de Fox pun-tos de Negocios que se trata de un problema aúnmayor para los dueños de negocios latinos:
"Aunque el número de empresas de propiedad de lati-nos sigue aumentando, los retos en el capital de fi-jación no se han reducido ... Un desafío principal es elhecho de que muchos negocios latinos son jóvenes y notienen una tradición de acceso a los mercados decrédito. Afortunadamente, existen recursos para ayu-dar ".

Martin Sheen and Rodrigo Santoro will also star in thefilm, which will be directed by Patricia Riggen (LaMisma Luna) from a screenplay by Mikko Alanne andJosé Rivera. She expects to shoot in the autumn, oncethe film has secured investment at this year's Cannesfilm festival.
The rescue of the miners, who became trapped morethan half a mile underground, was carried out by a
Chile-led international taskforce and waswatched by more than a billion people.Sepúlveda became known to the world asthe ebullient host of regular video journalssent to the surface by the miners, earningthe nickname "Super Mario".
Santoro will star as the group's second-in-command, Florencio Ávalos. Due to his
youth and good health, the 31-year-old was selected asthe first miner to ride the rescue capsule to the surfacein case of complications during the 15-minute ascent.
It is not clear at this stage whether Sheen, who had aSpanish father and was born Ramón Antonio GerardoEstévez, will also star as one of the miners.
Riggen's project follows a 2010 film about the Chileanminers entitled The 33 of San José. Spanish director An-tonio Recio's little-seen movie emerged on DVD in ahandful of European countries not long after the eventsit documented.
Antonio Banderas estará en el Set para protagonizarLos 33, que es una película basada en la verdadera his-toria de los 33 mineros chilenos que quedaron atrapa-dos durante 69 días en el 2010 antes de serrescatados. Según el informe, Banderas interpretara a

La película "relata los acontecimientos que rodearon elcolapso de la mina y los esfuerzos del rescate posterior,tanto desde la perspectiva de los mineros y de las fa-milias y de los rescatistas anteriores, que culminó en larecuperación emocional de los 33 mineros". El guión fueescrito en colaboración con los propios mineros. Lapelícula también cubrirá "la historia nunca antes con-tada de sus primeros 17 días bajo tierra, antes de quese pusieran en contacto, detalles de los cuales losmineros han mantenido confidencial hasta este mo-mento como parte de su "pacto de silencio".

SinopsisAlejandra está harta de la cotidianeidad y de las rela-ciones pasadas que no han funcionado en su vidahasta que conoce a María, adolescente con la que em-prende una aventura. Al principio todo marcha sobreruedas, sin embargo, la personalidad de Alejandra ysus exigencias afectivas, resultan cada vez más de-mandantes al punto de que es imposible estar cerca deella. En este momento, ambas se plantean si debencontinuar con esta relación en la que se padece unopresivo equilibrio o mejor cada cual sigue con su exis-tencia ordinaria.
In his first feature film, Raúl Fuentes dares to explore thepsyche of a woman caught in a vicious self-sabotagingcycle that incapacitates her ability to love. EVERY-BODY'S GOT SOMEBODY...NOT ME details the story ofAlejandra, a condescending intellectual with many emo-tional problems, who lacks the capacity to connect withanyone around her. When Alejandra meets Maria, anevolving and curious private school teen, the two start apassionate love affair that makes their generation gapseem trivial. Before long, the couple realizes their differ-ences when Alejandra obsessively tries to controlMaria's activities, interests and decisions. Alejandra'soppression becomes worse than a parent's and Mariamust decide whether or not she wants this intense rela-tionship with such an apprehensive person to continue.Shot in black and white, Raúl Fuentes' innovative film-making approach and his unconventional narrative un-questionably marks him as a new and exciting voice incontemporary Mexican cinema. —Dilcia Barrera

Children who are victims of sexual,physical or emotional abuse or neglectare treated more prone to obesity later inlife, suggests a recent review.
British researchers found that childrenwho suffer some form of abuse are 36percent more likely to be obese in adult-hood. They concluded that child abusecould be seen as a modifiable risk factorfor obesity.
"We found that being abused in child-hood significantly increases the risk ofobesity in adulthood," said study authorDr. Andrea Danese, a psychiatrist spe-cializing in children and adolescents atthe Institute of Psychiatry at King's Col-lege London , in a press release from thecollege. "The child abuse prevention re-mains paramount, and our findings em-phasize the severity of health effects thatthese experiences have long-term."
For the study, researchers examined dataon more than 190,000 people who partic-ipated in 41 studies throughout the world.They found that the link between childabuse and adult obesity could not be ex-plained by socioeconomic status in child-hood or adulthood, smoking, alcoholintake and physical activity level.
Child abuse was not associated with obe-sity in children and adolescents, the re-
searchers added, suggesting that the chil-dren were not abused by being over-weight or obese.
However, the researchers found that de-pression may explain why some childrenwho are abused are obese in adulthood.They indicated the need for more re-search to determine the effects of depres-sion on the body, especially the brain,hormones that regulate appetite and me-tabolism.
The authors added that more research isneeded to determine which treatmentstrategies would prevent children suffer-ing from abuse are obese years later.
"If the association is causal, as suggestedby animal studies, child abuse could beseen as a potentially modifiable risk fac-tor for obesity, a health problem that af-fects a third of the population and isoften resistant to treatment" , raisedDanese.
While the study found an association be-tween childhood abuse and obesity laterin life, failed to prove a causal link.
Los niños que son víctimas de abusossexuales, maltrato físico o emocional otratados con negligencia son más propen-sos a la obesidad más adelante en susvidas, sugiere una revisión reciente.
Investigadores británicos hallaron que losniños que sufren algún tipo de abusotienen un 36 por ciento más de probabili-dades de ser obsesos en la edad adulta.Concluyeron que el abuso infantil podríaverse como un factor de riesgo modifica-ble de obesidad.
"Hallamos que ser víctima de maltrato enla niñez aumenta significativamente elriesgo de obesidad en la adultez", afirmóel autor del estudio, el Dr. AndreaDanese, psiquiatra especializada en niñosy adolescentes en el Instituto de Psiquia-tría del Colegio del Rey en Londres, enun comunicado de prensa del colegio."La prevención del maltrato infantilsigue siendo primordial, y nuestros hal-lazgos enfatizan la gravedad de los efec-tos sobre la salud que estas experienciastienen a largo plazo".
Para realizar el estudio, los investi-gadores examinaron los datos de más de190,000 personas que participaron en 41estudios a lo largo del mundo. Des-cubrieron que el vínculo entre el abusoinfantil y la obesidad adulta no podía ex-plicarse por el estatus socioeconómico enla infancia o la adultez, el tabaquismo, laingesta de alcohol ni el nivel de actividadfísica.
El maltrato infantil tampoco se asoció
con la obesidad en los niños o adoles-centes, añadieron los investigadores, su-giriendo que los niños no eran víctimasde abusos por tener sobrepeso u obesi-dad.
No obstante, los investigadores hallaronque la depresión podría explicar por quéalgunos niños que son víctimas de abusosson obesos en la edad adulta. Indicaronque es necesario que se realicen más in-vestigaciones para determinar los efectosde la depresión en el cuerpo, sobre todoen el cerebro, las hormonas que regulanel apetito y el metabolismo.
Los autores del estudio añadieron que senecesitan más investigaciones para deter-minar qué estrategias de tratamiento evi-tarían que los niños que sufren de abusossean obesos años después.
"Si la asociación es causal, como lo sug-ieren los estudios con animales, el mal-trato infantil podría verse como un factorde riesgo potencialmente modificable deobesidad, un problema de salud queafecta a un tercio de la población y amenudo se resiste a los tratamientos",planteó Danese.
Aunque el estudio halló una asociaciónentre el abuso infantil y la obesidad másadelante en la vida, no probó que hubierauna relación de causalidad.

Ingredients• 2 Portobello Mushrooms, cleaned andchopped into 1 inch pieces•12 ounces Green Beans, trim ends and cut inhalf•8 ounces Cherry Tomatoes•1 Red Onion, cut into bite sized chunkypieces•a handful of Garlic Cloves, skins removed•a few splashes of Olive Oil•a few splashes of Balsamic Vinegar•Garlic Salt to taste•Smoked Paprika to taste•Black Pepper to taste•Optional Garnish•Fresh Herbs•Your favorite cheeseMethod
Pre heat your grill (I use a gas grill) to mediumhigh heat. Toss all your chopped vegetables ina large bowl with enough oil and balsamic foran even thin coating. Put them in your grillbasket. Grill with the lid closed for about 15-20minutes until the veggies are slightly charredand cooked to your liking. Toss every few min-utes to ensure that they are not burning andthey cook on all sides.NotesGrilled vegetables are more a cooking methodthan anything that would require precise meas-urements. Feel free to experiment will all kindsof veggies. Just be sure to watch closely,denser ones will take longer to cook. If youfind certain ones are quick grillers, then pre-pare your selections in batches.Chop vegetables so they are relatively similarsizes.Experiment with seasonings and sauces fordifferent flavor combinations.Use whatever you have on hand. Zucchini, as-paragus, bell pepper, squash, etc. would begreat too.
El verano esta aquí, y es tiempo para las comidas al airelibre. Las barbacoas son por excelencia, el tipo de alimentopreferido para esta época del año.
Con el verano a la vuelta de la esquina ya vamospreparando los asadores y parrillas para inaugurar la tem-porada con una buena barbacoa, las barbacoas son por ex-celencia, el tipo de alimento preferido para esta época delaño.
Aunque tradicionalmente en la parrillada o asado latino seprefieren los cortes de carne fresca, en especial los másblandos como la entraña o el anca, y los embutidos comochorizos y rellena, la emigración a Estados Unidos ha vari-ado los ingredientes de la parrilla latina y ahora también in-cluimos hamburguesas y salchichas.
Pero si este verano quieres variar esta tradición puedes in-cluir unas cuantas variedades de pinchos muy creativos ydeliciosos para sorprender a tu familia y amigos combi-nando vegetales, carnes y hasta frutas de temporada.
Conseguir resultados consistentes de un método decocción que nos asegure obtener buenos resultadosal hacer una barbacoa o asad verduras o frutas en elasador:
* Asegúrese de que la posición de los respi-raderos de la tapa de la parrillera, vaya directamentesobre la carne y no sobre el fuego. Esto asegura queel humo se deslice correctamente de la carne.
* Asegúrese de mantener la tapa en la medida delo posible. (No mire a escondidas!). Esto garantizaque la temperatura interna de la parrilla se mantengaconstante.
* Asegúrese de utilizar un termómetro dentro de labarbacoa. Esto le asegura mantenerse informado siel fuego está demasiado caliente o en vías de de-saparición sin levantar la tapa.
Es fácil preparar los vegetales a la parrilla porque nose tiene que preocupar por cocinarlos demasiado. Yla parrilla les acentúa los sabores a los vegetales. Al-guna gente dice que los vegetales saben mejor a laparrilla.
*Adobar los vegetales les ayuda a caramelizar yeso acentúa sus mejores sabores. Simplementesumerja los vegetales en adobocomo por una hora antes de poner-los a la parrilla.
*Si usted no adoba los vege-tales, simplemente póngales unpoco de aceite vegetal con unabrocha antes de ponerlos a la par-rilla y agrégueles sal u otro condi-mento.
*Al agregarle un poco de sal alos vegetales también intensifica elsabor (resaca el agua).
*Corte los vegetales para la par-rilla en formas que los haga másfácil de cocinar.
BalsamicGrilled
Vegetables
The summer is made for grilling, and that doesn't mean that youhave to eat just hamburgers and hot dogs (not that there's any-thing wrong with these grilled classics). You can make just asmany different dishes on the grill as you can make inside your
kitchen. From tandoori-spiced chicken drumsticks to salmon filetwith "melted" tomatoes, the grill opens up a world of possibilities --all accompanied by that great smoky flavor we just can't quite get
when cooking indoors.
The barbeque is slow-cooking meat at a low temperature for along time over wood or charcoal. Not gas! Although, most of uswithout a discerning culinary palette don’t know the difference.
* Pick a theme for your barbecue. Eva Ingvarson, a trend expertfrom Evite says, "Select a theme and carry it through from decora-
tions to food preparations." By the way, "grilling meat" is not atheme.
* Bring the entertainment. Sure, your friends are great, but don’texpect them to entertain themselves while the ribs are on the grill.
Set up some classic backyard games, like horseshoes or bad-minton so they’re not forced to sit around listening to your crazy
Uncle Lou tell his stories.
*Start 24 hours earlier. Be sure to plan ahead. Marinating meat 24hours ahead of time will give your food great flavor.
Rinse, trim, and cut up vegetables. If advised (see below), pre-cook vegetables: In a saucepan, bring a small amount of water toboiling. Add vegetables and simmer, covered, for time specified inchart. Drain well. Generously brush vegetables with olive oil, mar-garine, or butter before grilling to prevent them from sticking to the
grill rack. Grill over medium or medium-hot coals.
To grill, place vegetables on a piece of heavy foil or on the grillrack directly over the preheated coals. If putting them directly onthe grill rack, lay them perpendicular to the wires of the rack so
they won't fall into the grill. Grill, uncovered, for time in chart or tilltender, turning occasionally. Watch closely to prevent charring.
