SVETLANA SCHREIBER
LUBBOCK, July 30,2009 (AP): Dozens of cur-rent and former faculty atTexas Tech University havesigned a petition object-ing to the hiring of formerU.S. Attorney GeneralAlberto Gonzáles.
Walter Schaller saidThursday he began the pe-tition because he wastroubled by ethical issues
WASHINGTON, D.C.,July 30, 2009 (AP): TheSenate’s No. 3 Republicanannounced Thursday he’dbreak with the rest of hisparty’s leaders to supportSupreme Court nomineeSonia Sotomayor, who’s inline to become the first His-panic justice, with votingby the Senate on August 6.
Tennessee Sen. LamarAlexander said he was vot-ing for President BarackObama’s nominee despitehis differences with her.
“Even though JudgeSotomayor’s political andjudicial philosophy maybe different than mine, es-pecially regarding SecondAmendments rights, I willvote to confirm her becauseshe is well qualified by ex-perience, temperament,character and intellect toserve,” Alexander said in aspeech on the Senate floor.
Alexander, a conserva-tive, is only the sixth Re-publican to line up pub-licly with majority Demo-crats to back Sotomayor, aNew York City native anda federal appeals courtjudge. She’s virtually guar-anteed to be confirmed in avote this week, and is ex-pected to join the SupremeCourt in time for an earlier-than-usual meeting in Sep-tember to hear a campaignfinance case.
The other Republicanssupporting her include fel-low conservative Sen.Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina and moderate Sens.Dick Lugar of Indiana, MelMartínez of Florida, andMaine Sens. Olympia Snoweand Susan Collins.
The impending vote onSotomayor has confrontedthe GOP with a political di-lemma. Many senators aretorn between their desire toplease a conservative basethat opposes Obama’s nomi-nee and a fear that doing socould alienate Latino vot-ers, a fast-growing part of theelectorate.
Alexander noted in hisspeech that as a governor, hehad named women and Afri-can Americans to the bench,as well as people from bothparties.
“In the same way, it is myhope that my vote now notonly will help to confirm awell-qualified nominee butwill help to return the Senateto the practice, only recentlylost, of inquiring diligentlyinto qualifications of a nomi-nee and then accepting thatelections have consequences,one of which is to confer uponthe president the constitu-tional right to nominate jus-tices,” Alexander said.
Latino leaders praisedAlexander for his decision,and one sought to pressurepublicly uncommitted Re-publicans and Democrats tofollow his example. ClaudineKarasik of the MexicanAmerican Legal Defense andEducational Fund said shehoped to see “similar states-man-like leadership by his
colleagues from Nevada,Montana, Georgia, Alaska,Nebraska, and Arizona.”
John McCain to vote noGeorgia Republican
Sens. Saxby Chambliss andJohnny Isakson both an-nounced Thursday thatthey will vote no. JohnMcCain of Arizona an-nounced Aug. 3 that hewould also vote no.
But others who have yetto announce how they willvote include: DemocraticSens. Max Baucus and JonTester of Montana, BenNelson of Nebraska andMark Begich of Alaska andRepublican Sens. John En-sign of Nevada, and LisaMurkowski of Alaska.
They all come from con-servative states, and all havehigh ratings from the Na-tional Rifle Association,which calls Sotomayor“hostile” to the SecondAmendment right to keepand bear arms and plans tocount a vote to confirm heragainst senators in its can-didate ratings. The scorescan hold major sway overpolitically active gun rightssupporters and the lawmak-ers who represent them.
Sonia Sotomayor for SupremeCourt vote set for August 6thBy JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, Associated Press Writer
that plagued Gonzáles, in-cluding the question of tor-ture at Guantanamo Bay andthe firing of U.S. attorneyswhose politics were not inline with the Bush adminis-tration.
Gonzáles, the Bushadministration’s attorneygeneral, will teach a politicalscience class on contempo-rary issues in the executive
branch and recruit and retainminority students at Tech.
Schaller anticipates thenumber of signatures—cur-rently the petition has 74current and former facultymembers—will grow onceschool begins next monthin Lubbock.
Gonzáles was thenation’s first Latino attor-ney general.
About 75 faculty object to Gonzáles’ hiring

Attendees of SS. Peter andPaul Church’s noon Mass onSunday, July 26, 2009, joinedin celebration of the most re-cent steps taken towards theChurch’s future. The Masscommemorated the installa-tion of the parish’s new pastor,Father Juan FranciscoMolina, and assistant priestFather James Sanford, fol-lowed by a luncheon to furthercelebrate the occasion.
Fr. Molina has been work-ing at SS. Peter and Paul sincethe first of July, but Sundaymarked his official arrival asthe Church’s pastor. Becauseof its prominent Mexican mem-bership, the church offers Massin Spanish at noon each Sun-day, making it all the morefitting for Fr. Molina, a nativeof the San Vicente municipal-ity of El Salvador.
Fr. Molina began workingas a missionary social pastor inEl Salvador in 1990, integrat-ing various groups such as at-risk youths and rural laborersinto the church through directsocial interaction.
Although his missionaryefforts took him to Washing-ton D.C. for two years, Fr.Molina thought he would onlybe in the United States tempo-rarily. In 1998, however, Fr.Molina’s work led him onceagain to the U.S: this time toNewark, New Jersey with Re-new International, a Catholicministry organization.
Over the next six years, Fr.Molina touched countlesscommunities across the coun-try, including Salt Lake City,Utah and San Antonio, Texas,before he was invited by theToledo Diocese to work as theDirector of its Office of His-panic Ministry.
Along with working for theministry in Toledo, Fr. Molinaalso spent weekends conduct-ing Mass in many neighbor-ing communities in need ofpastoral support, including:Fayette, Montpellier, Findlay,Upper Sandusky, Norwalk, Na-poleon, Defiance, and Leipsic,
among others.Fr. Molina has found his
new parish to be a warm andinviting one. “I’ve had a verypleasant experience,” the pas-tor said. “It’s a hospitable andfriendly community, and I feelvery welcome. I’m not Mexi-can, but the parish is very tight-knit. I feel loved—and I loveour parish.”
He is also happy to be able tojoin the church in good com-pany. “I’ve been lucky to workwith Fr. Jim Sanford,” said Fr.Molina. “He has an especiallygood sense of humor which isn’ttoo common, and it makes himapproachable to the people.Like me, he doesn’t keep awayfrom the community.”
This very closeness is whatFr. Molina hopes to use to theadvantage of SS. Peter and PaulChurch. Despite his clear ad-miration and respect for thechurch and its parishioners,Father Molina certainly is notsuggesting that there is no roomfor improvement.
“The church is not full,” hesaid. “Of the thousands ofpeople from Central and SouthAmerica living in Toledo, we’reonly seeing five-hundred.Something is wrong.”
His objective as pastor isfirst and foremost to bring moremembers into the SS. Peter andPaul family. To attain such agoal, according to Fr. Molina,the church needs to take intoconsideration the backgroundof the people it is seeking andoffer support for the difficultiesthey face.
“A large number of the com-munity is made of migrants whoare struggling to adapt. Wewant to offer them somethingsimilar to what they had in theircountries: a close-knit churchthat witnesses the lives of itspeople, who feel practicallyabandoned as they battlethrough the process of adapt-ing. Here we integrate the goodthings from both cultures andaccompany them in this pro-cess.
“The difficulties of the
church are really those [diffi-culties] that our people face,”Fr. Molina continues. “This iswhy we can’t be afraid to walkwith our people. I ask that Godgrant me the ability to do so,because the Church must firstgo to the people so the peoplewill come to the Church.”
Aside from his overwhelm-ing desire to help others, Fr.Molina recognizes the value ofhis followers to his own growthand knowledge. One Sundayafternoon, he was speaking witha parishioner after Mass. Plac-ing a hand on his arm, the womanasked that God give her priestsillumination, patience, a heartlarge enough to love their pa-rishioners, and wisdom.
The pastor responded in amanner that reflects his mod-esty and high regard for hiscommunity; “I told her that al-though I can say I have receivedillumination, patience, and alove for my people, I cannotclaim to be wise. The truth isthat any wisdom I do possess,my people have given me. It isthe community that illuminatesits pastor.”
SS. Peter y Paul acoge alNuevo Pastor P. MolinaBy Kristina Soricde La Prensa
El día 26 de julio del 2009,ellos en asistencia de la misa demediodía en SS. Peter y Paulcelebraron un nuevo paso en ladirección del porvenir de laiglesia. La misa conmemoró lainstalación del nuevo pastor,Padre Juan Francisco Molinay su sacerdote asistente PadreJames Sanford. Después de lamisa, la iglesia invitó a lacomunidad a un almuerzo enhonor de la ocasión.
P. Molina empezó su trabajoen la iglesia el primero de Julio,pero domingo marcó su llegadaoficial como pastor. Ya que laiglesia ofrece una misa enespañol a mediodía cadadomingo a causa de suprominente afiliaciónMexicana, SS. Peter y Paul esun lugar aun mas apropiado
para P. Molina, nativo delMunicipio de San Vicente deEl Salvador.
P. Molina comenzó atrabajar como misionario ypastor social en El Salvador en1990, con el objetivo deintegrar a campesinos yjóvenes en conflicto en laiglesia a través de lainteracción social.
Aunque sus esfuerzosmisionarios lo llevaron a Wash-ington D.C. por dos años, P.Molina pensó que su estanciaen los Estados Unidos seríatemporaria y volvió a El Salva-dor con intenciones dequedarse. Sin embargo, en1998, el trabajo de P. Molinalo dirigió a America del Nortede nuevo: esta vez a Newark,New Jersey con Renew Inter-national, una organización deministerio católico.
Durante los seis años quesiguieron, P. Molina influyóen numerosas comunidades entodo el país, como Salt LakeCity, Utah y San Antonio,Tejas, hasta que estuvoinvitado por el Diócesis deToledo a trabajar como direc-tor de la Oficina de MinisterioHispánico en 2004.
Aparte del trabajoministerio en Toledo, P. Molinatambién pasó los fines desemana celebrando la misa enmuchas comunidades vecinasdonde hizo falta el apoyo pas-toral, incluso Fayette,Montpellier, Findlay, UpperSandusky, Norwalk, Napo-leon, Defiance, y Leipsic, en-tre otros.
En SS. Peter y Paul, P.Molina se ha encontrado conuna parroquia amable ysincera. “He tenido unaexperiencia muy bonita”, dijoel pastor. “La comunidad eshospitalaria y acogedora, y mesiento muy bienvenido. Nosoy Mexicano, pero el puebloes muy hermano, y me sientoquerido—y yo quiero muchoa nuestro pueblo”.
P. Molina también agradecela oportunidad de entrar en laiglesia en buena compañía.“He tenido mucha suerte detrabajar con P. Jim Sanford,”dijo. “Tiene un buen sentidode humor muy especial, queno es muy común y lo haceaccesible a la gente. Tanto el
como yo, no mantenemosdistancia de la comunidad”.
Esta misma proximidad eslo que P. Molina quiere utilizara la ventaja de SS. Peter y Paul.A pesar de que su admiracióny respeto por la iglesia y susfeligreses es evidente, P.Molina no sugiere desde luegoque no existe un margen demejora.
“La iglesia no está llena”,dijo. “De los miles de personasde Sudamérica yCentroamérica en Toledo,recibimos sólo quinientos.Algo está pasando”.
El primer objetivo de P.Molina es de atraer a más gentea la familia de SS. Peter y Paul.Para conseguir tal meta, segúnP. Molina, la iglesia tiene queconsiderar los antecedentes dela gente a las que estánbuscando y ofrecerles apoyopara las dificultades queafrentan.
“Una gran parte de lacomunidad se compone demigrantes con dificultades deadaptarse. Queremos ofrecerlesalgo similar a lo que tuvieronen sus países: una iglesiacercana que ve la vida de sugente—gente que se sienteprácticamente abandonada enla lucha y el proceso deadaptarse. Integramos aquí lasbendiciones de ambas culturasy los acompañamos en esteproceso.
“Las dificultades de laiglesia son [las dificultades]
que enfrente el pueblo”, P.Molina continúa. “Por eso nopodemos tener miedo decaminar con la gente. A Diosle pido que me dé el poder decaminar con la gente, porquela iglesia debe acercarseprimero a la gente para que lagente se acerque a la iglesia”.
Aparte de su gran deseo deayudar a otros, P. Molinareconoce el valor de su puebloen su propio desarrollo yconocimiento. Un domingopor la tarde, hablaba con unparroquiano después de lamisa. La mujer puso la manoen el brazo de P. Molina y lepidió a Dios que los curasrecibieran la luz, la paciencia,un corazón grande capaz deamar al pueblo, y la sabiduría.
El pastor respondió de unamanera que refleja su modestiay alta estima por su comunidad;“Le dije que, aunque puedodecir que he recibido la luz, lapaciencia, y el amor por mipueblo, no puedo pretenderque soy sabio. La verdad esque si tengo algo de sabiduría,la recibió de la gente. Lacomunidad da la luz al pastor”.
A pesar de ser una respuestahonorable, la negación de P.Molina de su sabiduríasimultáneamente muestra unprofundo conocimiento que,combinado con una naturalezasinceramente cariñosa,seguramente ayudará SS. Pe-ter y Paul hacia la grandeza enun futuro próximo.

In 1949, he would gethis foot in the daily
newspaper’s door and oper-ate its International News Pic-tures wire photo machine.
Long would leave workfor two years to serve in theArmy, and upon his return, adesired position welcomedhim – a chance to work thestreets to capture the mostamazing images. Longwould win numerous awardsfor his work, and transitiontechnological advances inphotography from histrusted 4x5, to 35mm film, totoday’s digital.
His first major assignmentwas the inauguration ofPresident John F. Kennedyin Washington, D.C. Herralwould photograph numer-ous icons from EleanorRoosevelt to LouisArmstrong, but his mostmemorable work will alwaysbe the sensitivity and pas-
The Northwest Ohio Af-filiate of Susan G. Komen forthe Cure has launched a newWeb site atwww.komennwohio.orgthat enhances its ability toensure that breast health ser-vices and information arewithin reach in its 24-countyservice area.
The new site, designedby RELEV8 (a division ofFruchtman Marketing of To-ledo), includes a more user-friendly method of register-ing for the Race for the Cure,shares photos from pastevents, and provides an op-portunity for people to inter-
act with the affiliate throughsocial media tools MySpace,Facebook, and Twitter.
“In many ways anorganization’s Web site is itsfront door,” said MaryWestphal, executive direc-tor of the Northwest OhioAffiliate. “We believe thatour front door is now muchmore welcoming. It improvesthe ability for people to con-nect with us, and for us toconnect with them.”
Because Susan G. Komenfor the Cure is a non-profitorganization, it’s importantthat the Web site also pro-vides an easy way for people
to make gifts online, sign upto volunteer, and providesinformation about how toapply for grant dollars.
According to Westphal,the Web site is also the placeto go for breast cancer educa-tional information and thelatest information about lo-cal news and events. You canalso sign up for “The Prom-ise” newsletter online.
“If you know someonewho has been diagnosedwith breast cancer or are justinterested in more informa-tion, I encourage you to visitour new Web site,” saidWestphal.

“It’s no mystery why thepublic loves Cash forClunkers. It’s a good dealfor consumers, a good dealfor auto dealers, and a good
deal for autoworkers andauto communities.
“The bottom line: it cre-ates jobs in our region.
“By acting quickly,Congress and the Presidentwill keep the momentum infavor of more economicactivity in Toledo,Sandusky and dozens ofcommunities throughoutNorthern Ohio.
“Cash for Clunkers, anOhio-born initiative, iswildly popular because itempowers consumers. Andit also helps the environ-
ment by upgrading ournation’s fleet of cars andtrucks.”
The program offersvouchers for the trade in ofa low-mileage older vehiclefor the purchase of a new,fuel-efficient car. The pro-gram will help revive theauto industry, which willgo a long way to turningaround the economy.

ARIES: MARCH 21 - APRIL 20It pays to be aware of what’s going on with other
people. They don’t see this the way you do so don’tassume they want what you want. So much depends onthem; you really can’t afford to be one way about this.
TAURUS: APRIL 21 - MAY 20If we’re honest, whatever we blame on bad luck always
turns out to be our own doing. Reaping what you’ve sownis showing you how previous errors in judgment, andyour refusal to bend, have created this mess.
GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 20If you wonder where this is going, look at where it is
right now. There’s enough here to show you if there’s anypotential in it. If what you have at the moment feelsfulfilling, chances are, it’s going somewhere!
CANCER: JUNE 21 - JULY 20You’d just as soon skip out on this next affair. Having
been there and done that so many times, who needs it?There are as many reasons to go as there are to stay hereand deal with it. Which way will you go?
LEO: JULY 21 - AUGUST 20What you call one thing is really another. On the
surface this looks like you being the saint, the savior, orsome sort of teacher. Maybe so, but it feels to me like it’sreally just about you, being manipulative.
VIRGO: AUGUST 21 - SEPTEMBER 20There’s too much going on for you to even begin to
deal with what’s going on inside you. At a certain point
you’ve got to slow down and get centered enough tofocus on whatever it is that hasn’t had time to heal.
LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 21 - OCTOBER 20Getting past the surface layer of attraction always
brings us to the bedrock of relationship: that’s what we
wind up living with. This was fun up till now. Can youlive with the possibilities that lie up ahead?
SCORPIO: OCTOBER 21 - NOVEMBER 20You could change everything, in a heartbeat. If your
doubts about doing something drastic are keeping you
from going for it, this is one time when the riskier choicemakes more sense than what might seem practical.
SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 20You’re getting worked up over nothing. Stop project-
ing too far into the future. Your worries will weave your
future if you can’t find a way to transform them intosomething else. Try focusing on something positive.
CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 20You thought you were over this? Dream on! Intellec-
tually maybe, but down deep you’re so attached, letting
go won’t be easy. Whatever you thought would gosmoothly isn’t going to end quickly or quietly.
AQUARIUS: JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 20You keep trying to connect with someone who just
can’t be there for you. What makes you think this will
work? Instead of persisting you might do better to hookup with someone who actually wants to connect.
PISCES: FEBRUARY 21 - MARCH 20The grapevine is having a field day with your little
story. Eventually your secrets will get back to whoever
you’re trying to keep them from. As hard as it is, it wouldbe better for you if you told the truth.

Letter to the Editor:We are the Festival with a Focus and we want to thank all
our patrons for embracing the philosophy of One Family ~ OneCommunity. Everyone coming together [August 7 and 8,2009] for a great cause is very much appreciation by ourorganization, Perrysburg Heights Community Association(PHCA).
We want to share with everyone a change in a better layout for the festival this year. We will no longer have a restricted beer gardens fence! The grounds will all be openonce you enter the festival to allow everyone free access to all the vendors and an easieraccess in an out of our main tent!
The Ohio’s South of the Border Festival is a family environment with dancing forall ages, games, and this year Inflatables by Air Extreme, which will replace the ridesformally displayed at our event. We wanted to provide a more interactive atmospherefor the whole family!
We also will be adding lighting to our On-Site Parking for safety and security. On-site parking is $5 per car. There will be other residents engaged in soliciting festivalgoers to pay for parking on their properties, none of those proceeds benefit the PHCA.
All proceeds from Admission, Pepsi, Beer, 50/50 Raffles and Parking benefit theCenter. This year PHCA will be donating all proceeds earned from the Games area toour dance troupe: Ballet Folklorico Imagenes Mexicanas.
Thanks again for your support!Y Nos Vemos @ the Border,

Hispanic Business As-sociation held its 3rd an-nual Business Expo at LaSagrada Familia ChurchHall on July 30, 2009.Thirty-two exhibitorsranging from small busi-ness, to corporate orga-nizations had the oppor-tunity to network andstrength collaborations.
Jenice Contréras ,HBA Chair said even inthe slow economy busi-nesses need services andthey are more likely tobuy from partners theyhave a personal relation-ship with. “This Expo isnot about the organiza-tion, it is all about ourmembers and sponsors,”said Contreras.
She said the organiza-tion is undergoing stra-tegic planning and try-ing to determine how toserve its members betterso they can increase theirvisibility and strengthenbusiness practices. “Weare also reaching out toour corporate partnersand understand whattheir needs and demandsare,” she said.
Margarita Peña, Di-rector of Operationssa id the Expo i s amatchmaking event thathas continued to im-
prove and attract moreguests each year. She saidthe continued support ofcorporate sponsors is atestament to the eventsuccess. This year Wal-Mart sponsored 10 boothsfor small business to dif-fer the $150 -$175 boothcosts.
When Abraham Del Rio,Jr. was laid off from ParkerHannifin he decided to il-luminate his dark situationby creating lighting fix-tures. His company Del RioLighting & Design offersshow room quality and acoastal ambience for cus-tomers in the area. His busi-ness is a family affair, withhis children and wife as-sisting him as support staff.Del Rio partnered with acompany in China sayingit ensures quality and keepshis business competitive.

MEXICO, el 3 de agostodel 2009 (AP): Artistasnacionales e internacionalescomo Nelly Furtado—canadiense—, Juan LuisGuerra y Calle 13, entre otros,se unieron para un conciertomasivo gratuito el domingodenominado “Ciudad deMéxico llena de vida’’, el cualbusca llevar el mensaje de queesta capital se encuentra en lasmejores condiciones pararecibir a los turistas.
Para el espectáculo selevantó una impresionantetarima junto al emblemáticomonumento Angel deIndependencia, que tan prontocayó la tarde se tiñó dediferentes colores.
“Yo declaro que muypronto toda la crisis se va asobrellevar, se va a pasar...porque, como yo siempre hedicho, ustedes son una genteque tiene en su corazón a supatria”, dijo el dominicanoGuerra ante el público,estimado por losorganizadores en 120.000personas.
Guerra agradeció lasmuestras de cariño tras entonar“La Bilirrubina”, “Ojalá quellueva café”, “Sólo tengo ojospara ti” y “Las avispas”.
“Tiene que ser anual esto”,pidió el cantante mexicanoYahir, quien también mezclóalgunos de los éxitos de sucarrera.
El jefe de gobierno de lacapital, Marcelo Ebrard, dijoen conversación con la prensaque la recuperación iba enfranco aumento.
“Hemos hecho muchoseventos. Este es uno de los másgrandes que hemos hecho. Enla ciudad tenemos ya bajocontrol el problema (del brotede gripe porcina) y es una
ciudad que se puede visitar.Tenemos el turismo ya a losniveles que deberíamos detener y son bienvenidos ybienvenidas todos”, señaló.
El secretario de turismo dela capital Alejandro Rojas dijoque el concierto “es una señalque estamos enviado almundo” de que los artistastambién demuestran “unafuerza mayúscula de suaprecio, su cariño y su amor”.
Según el funcionario, laocupación hotelera subió del5%, que fue su punto más bajodurante el brote de gripeporcina a principios de mayo,a un 60%, por lo que “ya larecuperación turística es unhecho... nos vamos aconsolidar de una manera ge-nial, así que yo creo que endiciembre la recuperación serátotal”.

En su espalda el cantante,también conocido como“Residente”, se dibujó amanera de repudio lainscripción “Dile no al ‘play-back”’, técnica que usanalgunos artistas en eventos envivo y programas detelevisión, en los que simulancantar, pero se trata de unagrabación.
El dúo Wisin y Yandel,también puertorriqueños,encendió al público que
aguantó más de cinco horascon carteles de la pareja paraverlos al cierre del espectáculoy no paró de gritar ante laspegajosas canciones dereggeatón.
A pedido de losanimadores, el público cantó“Cielito lindo” y más tardeentonó “El Rey” a coro con elespañol David Bisbal y elmexicano Pedro Fernández.
Hasta los policías enocasiones sacaban suscelulares para tomar fotos delos artistas en la tarima.
Una mujer que acudió alrecital junto con su hijo opinóque la actividad servía parasubir el ánimo de losmexicanos, más que incentivarel turismo.
“Lo que el gobierno tieneque hacer es seguirpromoviendo todos esoslugares hermosos que hay entoda la república”, dijoRosalina Giménez, de 60 años,mientras trataba de protegersede la incipiente lluvia que noalcanzó a afectar el evento.
Se estima que laemergencia sanitaria dejóperdidas de 150 millones dedólares diarios para los sectorescomercio, turismo y servicios,con los que están vinculadasdos terceras partes de laeconomía local, ha señaladoRojas.
Otros artistas que tambiénestuvieron en tarima fueron lacolombiana Fanny Lu, elpanameño Nigga y losmexicanos Motel, BennyIbarra, Paty Cantú y el grupoJot Dog.

Alaban trabajo de Penélope en ‘Fuerza G’
La española Penélope Cruz regresará la próxima semana a los cines de Estados Unidos como la voz de una cobaya que debe salvar el mundo en Fuerza-G, una aventura en 3D con la que Disney quiere seducir a toda la familia.
“Penélope es una actriz increíble y ha hecho un trabajo maravilloso. Tiene una voz muy hermosa, aterciopelada, y ha
conseguido ser una cobaya realmente atractiva”, dijo el direc-tor Hoyt Yeatman, genio de los efectos visuales y responsa-ble de una cinta en la que se combina acción real y animación.
Fuerza-G es una comedia de aventuras que cuenta la his-toria de un equipo especial de cobayas que forman parte de un programa secreto que entrena a animales para realizar tareas de espionaje para el Gobierno de Estados Unidos y que un día descubren que un malvado multimillonario busca hacerse con el control del mundo.

México, D.F.- El gobierno de México lamentó la decisión de Canadá de impo-ner visas a los connacionales que viajen como turistas a ese país, con el argumen-to de que se incrementaron las solicitu-des de refugio fraudulentas por parte de mexicanos.
La Secretaría de Relaciones Exterio-res (SRE) indicó en un comunicado que México dará seguimiento a la medida ca-nadiense, con el fin de que se realice de manera eficiente y con respeto a los dere-chos de los mexicanos.
Esto como resultado a la medida em-pleada por el Gobierno de Canadá. A par-tir del 13 de julio de de 2009 a las 11:01 p.m., hora local de la Ciudad de México, se exige visa a los nacionales mexicanos para viajar a Canadá, anunció el Ministro de Ciudadanía, Inmigración y Multicul-turalismo, Sr. Jason Kenney. Durante las primeras 48 horas, los ciudadanos mexi-canos solicitaron entrada a su llegada a Canadá. Después de las 10:59 p. m. del 15 de julio de 2009 deben tener una visa.
Las solicitudes de condición de re-fugiado de nacionales mexicanos casi se han triplicado desde 2005, haciendo que México sea el país con el mayor número de solicitudes. En 2008, más de 9,400 soli-citudes en Canadá fueron presentadas por nacionales mexicanos, representando el 25 por ciento de las solicitudes recibidas. De las solicitudes mexicanas examinadas y finalizadas en 2008 por la Comisión de Inmigración y Refugiados, un tribunal administrativo independiente, sólo 11 por ciento fueron aceptadas.
“Además de crear demoras significati-vas y un aumento precipitado de costos en nuestro programa de refugiados, el simple volumen de esas solicitudes merma nues-tra capacidad de ayudar a las personas que huyen de verdaderas persecuciones,” dijo el Ministro Kenney. “Muy a menudo, las personas que realmente necesitan la protección de Canadá se encuentran en una larga lista de espera, por meses y a veces años antes de que se puedan oír sus solicitudes. Eso es inaceptable.
“El requisito de visa nos dará una mayor capacidad de manejar el flujo de personas hacia Canadá y verificar la vera-cidad de ellas. Al tomar esta importante medida para reducir la carga sobre nues-tro sistema de protección a los refugiados, estaremos mejor equipados para tramitar más rápido los casos de los refugiados ge-nuinos.”
Canadá examina regularmente las políticas de visa que tiene con respecto a otros países. Los países saben que si no satisfacen las condiciones de exención de visa, se puede imponer la exigencia de una visa.
Este cambio significa que los nacio-nales de México que quieran viajar a Ca-nadá primero deberán solicitar una Visa de Residente Temporal y cumplir con los requisitos para obtenerla. A los solicitan-tes de visas les corresponderá demostrar que visitan Canadá en forma temporal, que no se quedarán en el país más del tiempo permitido, que tienen suficiente dinero para cubrir sus gastos de estadía en Canadá, y que tienen buena salud y no constituyen un riesgo para la seguridad de los canadienses. Esos requisitos son los mismos para todos los que quieren venir a Canadá.
El Ministerio de Ciudadanía e Inmi-gración de Canadá (CIC) está trabajando para aumentar la capacidad de trámite en la Ciudad de México. Sin embargo, la im-posición de la visa ha significado demoras a corto plazo en los viajes mientras el CIC implementa sus recursos.
Como reacción a la medida, un gru-po de al menos 100 personas acampó a las afueras de la Embajada de Canadá en México en espera de poder realizar el trá-mite de una visa para viajar a ese país.
Otros tantos que ya estaban en el aeropuerto de la ciudad de México como turistas, estudiantes y trabajadores tem-porales, expresaron su temor por ser mal-tratados o discriminados en aquel país, luego que su Gobierno impusiera el visado para los mexicanos.
“Cuando nos enteramos nos preocu-pó. Estuvimos llamando a la Embajada, pero el teléfono estuvo siempre ocupa-do. Sí da un poco de miedo saber cómo te van a tratar allá, porque no nos dicen nada. Sí nos preocupa que haya un pro-blema, porque ya va a ser más difícil ir”, aseguró Jessica, quien partió a Ontario de vacaciones.
Para mayor información, favor de consultar la página web www.canada.org.mx o llamar al teléfono 01-800-226-2320.
Cabe destacar que esta medida tam-bién fue empleada a los ciudadanos de la República Checa, por ser la segunda fuen-te principal de refugiados.
Retira Praga a Embajador en Canadá
En protesta por la decisión de Cana-dá de exigir visas a sus ciudadanos, Re-pública Checa retiró a su Embajador en Ottawa, Karel Zebrakovsky, reportó el diario canadiense National Post.
El Primer Ministro checo, Jan Fis-cher, además señaló que los diplomáticos del país norteamericano y quienes viajen por negocios requerirán visa para entrar en la nación europea.
Según reportes de prensa, Praga es-taría buscando el apoyo de los demás miembros de la Unión Europea (UE), bajo la cláusula de solidaridad, para que exijan visas a los canadienses.
En este sentido, la presidencia sueca de la UE se declaró favorable a aplicar vi-sas a los canadienses que quieran viajar al bloque.
“Como presidencia de la UE, somos favorables a la reciprocidad”, declaró el Ministro sueco encargado de la Inmigra-ción, Tobias Billström. “Pero la Comisión debe hacer una propuesta, pues es la en-cargada del mecanismo de reciprocidad”, precisó.
Durante un debate en el Parlamento Europeo en Estrasburgo, José Manuel Ba-rroso, presidente de la Comisión, lamentó la medida de Ottawa y señaló que espera-ba que fuera temporal.
“Vamos a consultar a las autoridades canadienses para tener más información sobre las razones de su decisión, y vamos a hacer todos los esfuerzos necesarios para restablecer la posibilidad de viajar sin visa (para los checos)”, agregó.

Le queda chico el ataúd... ¡y le cortan las piernas!
Columbia.- Una empresa fú-nebre donde un empleado cortó las piernas de un cadáver porque no cabía en el ataúd fue clausura-da por orden judicial.
La juez Deborah Durden rati-ficó la decisión de la Junta Funera-ria del estado, de revocar la licen-cia de la empresa funeraria Cave y su propietario Michael Cave.
Cave reconoció en un tribu-nal administrativo que hace cinco años su empresa le cortó las pier-nas a James Hines, quien medía 2,01 metros (seis pies con siete pulgadas) de estatura, sin consul-tar a la familia. Dijo que no quería causar mayores sufrimientos a los familiares.
La viuda de Hines dijo que recibir la noticia fue como si su esposo muriera por segunda vez. Un empleado despedido de la fu-neraria notificó a la familia hace un año.

Washington— La secretaria de Seguridad Interna de Estados Unidos, Janet Napolitano, anunció un nuevo acuerdo para la colaboración de la policía local con agen-tes federales de inmigración para el arresto de extranje-ros criminales.
“Este nuevo acuerdo apoya los esfuerzos locales para proteger la seguridad
pública al darles a las agencias de la ley las herramientas para identificar y expulsar a peligrosos criminales extranjeros”, dijo Napolitano en un comunicado.
El Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) estandarizó el Memorando de Entendimiento (MOA, siglas en inglés) bajo el programa 287 (g) enfo-cado en la deportación de criminales extranjeros “que representan una amenaza para las comunidades locales”, indicó.
La sección 287g de la ley de inmigración autoriza a los gobiernos locales establecer memorandos de entendi-
miento con el Departamento de Seguridad Interna para que sus agentes policiales reciban entrenamiento de ICE y ejerzan algunas funciones de inmigración.
Napolitano subrayó que “también promueve unifor-midad a todo nivel para asegurar que todas las agencias de la ley a nivel estatal y local que están asociadas con no-sotros usen los mismos estándares en la implementación del programa 287(g)”.
Por su parte, el ICE anunció nuevos acuerdos bajo el programa con entidades en Gwinnet (Georgia), Mon-mouth (Nueva Jersey), Sussex (Delaware), Houston (Texas), Mesquite (Nevada), Morristown (Nueva Jersey), Mesa (Arizona) y Florence (Arizona).
También se establecieron acuerdos con las autorida-des de Guilford (Carolina del Norte), Charleston (Caroli-na del Sur) y el estado de Rhode Island.
En respuesta a preocupaciones sobre el arresto de personas por ofensas menores, el nuevo acuerdo requiere que las agencias policiales participantes en el programa sigan procesos judiciales por los cargos penales que cau-saron la detención.
El nuevo acuerdo define los objetivos del 287(g), menciona las facultades otorgadas sobre el cumplimiento
de las leyes de inmigración y establece la supervisión del ICE de los operativos realizados por la policía, así como los procedimientos para quejas, entre otros.
El programa 287(g) “es un componente esencial de la estrategia integral” del Departamento de Seguridad In-terna para que se cumplan las leyes de inmigración, afir-mó el director adjunto del ICE, John Morton.
“El nuevo acuerdo refuerza la facultad de supervisión del ICE y nos permite utilizar mejor los recursos y capa-cidad de agencias de la ley de todo el país que colaboran con nosotros”, puntualizó.
Las autoridades informaron que sólo se permitirá que las agencias policiales con nuevos acuerdos firmados, que tienen una duración de tres años, continúen aplican-do las leyes de inmigración.
Hasta la fecha, el ICE ha capacitado a más de mil po-licías que operan bajo 66 acuerdos locales bajo el progra-ma 287(g).
El programa ha permitido desde enero de 2006 la identificación de más de 120 mil personas, en su mayoría en la cárcel, que se sospecha que están ilegalmente en el país, informó el Departamento de Seguridad Interna.

Grand Rapids, MI.- Desde hace va-rios meses, la ilusión de la constitución del matrimonio para la formación fami-liar, fue frustrada para los inmigrantes in-documentados residentes en el Condado de Kent, quienes ahora deben presentar el número de Seguro Social si desean adqui-rir la licencia de matrimonio.
Sin embargo, la abogada Teresa Hen-dricks, informó en entrevista para Lazo Cultural que: “no se debe negar el per-miso de matrimonio por no contar con número de seguro social, ya que eso hace al Estado inhospitable para los visitantes, quienes no necesariamente tienen que vivir aquí, si no que lo pueden hacer por libre albedrío al venir de vacaciones”.
Es por eso que varias organizaciones planean una demanda en contra de esta
discriminación a los derechos civiles por parte del condado de Kent. Si usted tra-baja en el campo y no ha podido obtener su licencia de matrimonio por no contar con número de seguro social, le recomen-damos comunicarse con la agencia legal para migrantes de la abogada Hendricks al (616) 454 5055.
Cabe destacar que dicha agencia brin-da servicios legales a la gente que trabaja en el campo como problemas de salud, escolares, discriminación, trabajo, forma de pago, etc. “Hay ciertas reglas que se deben seguir para los trabadores del cam-po, como contar con agua potable, tener baños portátiles, agua, jabón para lavar las manos, entre otras. Así que nosotros apoyamos los derechos para que las per-sonas se desarrollen en un ambiente salu-dable. Muchos no dicen nada por temor a represalias, pero eso también es un delito
y nosotros podemos protegerlos”, agregó la entrevistada.
Teresa Hendricks comentó que uno de los problemas por los que atraviesa el trabajo del campo actualmente es la falta de inspectores. “Hay mucha gente que esta llegando a Michigan para incorporarse en las labores del campo, pero lamentable-mente no hay sitio donde hospedarse, ya que varios rancheros no han podido echar andar sus tierras por falta de licencias, así que tienen que decidir entre recibir mul-tas y meter a la gente en una casa que no sea sana o quedarse esperando a que uno de los cuatro inspectores que hay actual-mente lo visite”, destacó.
“Anteriormente había 12 inspectores pero hubo una
reducción de dinero en este proyecto y se considero que los inspectores no eran una prioridad”.
Además de eso, el Departamento de Inmigración anunció que va empezar a inspeccionar a cada uno de los emplea-dores para revisar documentación. En ese sentido, la abogada comentó: “los em-pleadores pueden mantener en archivo únicamente el formulario I9 sin incluir la copia de la identificación para mostrarlo a migración, ya que para ser sancionado un empleador se debe comprobar que tenía conocimiento de la situación indocumen-tada del empleado, lo cual se demuestra con la copia de la identificación”.
Esa situación podría cambiar con la reforma migratoria, en donde se con-templa el proyecto de ley de ayuda para los trabajadores del campo que puedan demostrar antigüedad en el puesto. “La razón por la que esta propuesta ha sido
popular es porque no se deja pasar a las personas de la frontera y se les arregla su situación de inmediato, si no que hay que demostrar antigüedad y garantía de continuar trabajando en la agricultura para no representar competencia en otros puestos de trabajo”.
Hendricks informó que el 14 de mayo del 2009 se entregó esta propuesta de Ley al Congreso, pero hasta el momento no se ha analizado. “En caso de ser aprobada, sería un paso muy importante para Mi-chigan quien vive de la industria automo-triz y la agricultura”, concluyó. “Los traba-jadores del campo son muy importantes para la economía del país y de Michigan en particular, ya que los 45 productos que se pizcan a mano tienen un valor de 11 bi-llones de dólares”.
Teresa Hendricks es especialista en casos de defensa criminal: Violaciones de tráfico, manejar en estado de ebriedad, li-cencia suspendida, acusados de cometer asalto. Indemnizaciones por negligencia: Lastimaduras graves en accidentes auto-movilísticos, daños personales por caídas, entre otros.

MÉXICOdel Norte
Negociando laReforma...Ayer me cayó un e-mail,
el forward del forward del forward de un par de centenares de personas, advirtiendo sobre una
campaña de la derecha que consiste en reunir firmas para enviárselas al pre-sidente Barack Obama oponiéndose a que se le de acceso a los beneficios del Seguro Social a los inmigrantes indocu-mentados, “tal como lo votó el Senado esta semana”.
Me extrañó, porque ni esta semana ni la anterior ni la anterior el Senado ha votado nada por el estilo. Me fije en la fecha del e-mail original y resulta ser de hace un mes. Investigué el récord de vo-taciones del Senado y no encontré nada. Pero Internet me resolvió la duda: es la misma petición que se circuló en mayo de 2006, cuando el Senado votó su pro-pia versión de reforma migratoria en contra de la versión de la Casa de Repre-sentantes, la fatídica HR4437. Nomás le cambiaron el destinatario… de “Presi-dente Bush” a “Presidente Obama”.
Es más, el Senado nunca votó algo así. Lo que votaron fue abrir el acceso legal a los beneficios a los indocumen-tados que se legalizaran, a cuenta de lo que ya habían contribuido al Seguro, y rechazaron la propuesta Republicana de negárselos por haber pagado al Seguro cuando no tenían papeles.
La petición, penca como todas, dice que “los abajo firmantes protestamos y nos oponemos… bla, bla, bla… a dar-le nuestros beneficios a los ilegales… demandamos que Usted y el Congre-so exijan la ciudadanía como requisito para obtener servicios… y que no se le de amnistía a los ilegales, ni servicios gratuitos ni fondos ni pagos de nada”. Agrega que “estamos cansados por la falta de acción en este tema y cansados de pagar por servicios para los ilegales”,
y pide que cada 1000 firmas se mande copia a [email protected].
Este tipo de e-mail es un absurdo por varias razones. Si alguien no lo reenvía, se pierden las firmas ya recabadas; las peticiones para cambios legislativos se deben mandar a los congresistas, no a la Casa Blanca; cualquiera puede agregar 20 nombres a la lista sin autorización, y pa’ acabarla, todas las direcciones que aparecen en los reenvíos terminan por recibir docenas de correos de spam, co-merciales y basura electrónica.
…De la derecha a la ultraderecha
La bronca es que el e-mail será ab-surdo pero sienta un tono. Si le llega a Obama, lo hará seguir inclinando la negociación de la pretendida reforma migratoria aún más hacia la derecha, en vez de centrarla como todos esperába-mos que hiciera.
Y conste que digo seguir inclinan-do, porque aún sin la desinteresada ayu-da de la derecha, Obama les está dando por su lado. La Casa Blanca reconoció hace unos días que las medidas que ha tomado desde que Barack anunció la formación del equipo legislativo para la reforma son “necesarias para iniciar el diálogo”.
Era necesario, se entiende, impulsar la obligatoriedad del programa E-Verify, el chequeo electrónico de los papeles de un trabajador al contratarlo; era nece-sario también congelar las cartas No-Match del Seguro Social pero no para siempre sino para “mejorarlo”. Y era ne-cesario, of course, estandarizar el pro-grama 287g de la Polimigra.
Curiosamente, a la semana del anuncio de Janet Napolitano de la am-pliación de la Polimigra, un reporte de la Clínica Legal de Justicia Inmigratoria
de la Escuela de Derecho Benjamín N. Cardozo estableció que cientos de reda-das de la Polimigra han violado las leyes y la Constitución.
El estudio analizó 700 arrestos en Nueva York y Nueva Jersey, del progra-ma contra los “criminales extranjeros peligrosos” donde hubo más arrestos de latinos que ni la debían ni la temían pero estaban en el lugar equivocado. Y de pasada, la Migra arrestó a varios ciu-dadanos estadounidenses y residentes legales, lo cual es completamente ilegal.
Sin órdenes de cateo, los Polimigras invadieron casas sin requerir el permiso necesario por parte de lo dueños, bajo lo que el estudio llama “mentalidad de cowboy”. Como ejemplo, se cita el e-mail de un agente de Inmigración invi-tando a un alguacil del condado a unir-se a una redada, que dice literalmente “Tenemos 18 direcciones — ¡así que nos
vamos a divertir bastante! Avísenme si quieren jugar”.
Incluso un juez de Inmigración en Staten Island declaró en corte que la conducta de los agentes de la Migra era una “flagrante violación a la justicia”, y el perfilamiento racial de los detenidos no podía ser más obvio: el 66 por cien-to de los “perseguidos” eran latinos, y el 87 de los “arrestos colaterales” en Nueva Jersey y el 94 en Long Island eran lati-nos.
Este es el programa que Obama quiere ampliar para “iniciar el diálogo”. Por eso digo que los anti-inmigrantes ni necesitan mandar sus e-mails chafas… ya tienen ganado el tinte de la reforma migratoria por cortesía de la Casa Blan-ca.

El LoroUna mujer quería una mas-cota para que le hiciera com-pañía, así que fue a la tienda y escogió un loro. Antes de recibir el dinero, el vende-dor le advirtió que el loro había vivido en un prostíbulo y acostumbraba a decir co-sas... salidas de tono. Pero a la mujer le gustó tanto el loro que decidió comprarlo.
Ya en su casa, la mujer puso la jaula en la sala y esperó a que el loro hablara. El ani-mal divisó todo el panorama y dijo:
“Nueva casa, nueva mada-me.”
La mujer se sorprendió un poco, pero encontró gracio-
sa la ocurrencia del loro y decidió esperar a que llega-ran sus hijas adolescentes. Cuando ellas entraron, el loro exclamó:
“Nueva casa, nueva madame, nuevas chicas.”
Tras su sorpresa inicial, las muchachas se rieron con su madre y esperaron a que lle-gara el papá. Por la noche, cuando el hombre llegó a su casa, el loro gritó:
“¡Nueva casa, nueva mada-me, nuevas chicas, caras co-nocidas! ¡Hola, Joaquín!”

Dragon Boat Festival benefits Partners In EducationJuly 25, 2009: Dragon boats came to Toledo, Ohio at the 8th Annual Partners In
Education Dragon Boat Festival, at International Park in Downtown Toledo, Ohio. Over40 teams participated.
The 40-foot-long Hong Kong style Dragon Boats – complete with dragonhead and tail– were seen cruising up and down the Maumee River from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m.A team was comprised of twenty crewmembers, with a steersman and a drummer.
Each team paddled a 500-meter course races in four boat heats and participated in threeraces during the day, with first round times determining the second and championshipround placement in races. Trophies were awarded in various industries, ranging frommedia to finance, based on the first race results.
“The dedication and commitment to be a part of this year’s race has not faltered eventhe slightest!” said, Kelly O’Loughlin, Program Coordinator for Partners In Education.“These teams total close to 1,000 people and make it part of their summer schedules.”
To add to the racing excitement, foods including fresh fruit smoothies and lemonade,BBQ, Italian sausage, and pizza were consumed. The festival included a children’sactivities area with crafts focusing on dragons and the Chinese culture and inflatables.Various cultural activities and demonstrations were presented by the Chinese Associationof Greater Toledo.
The popular event was presented by BP –Husky Refining.
The University of Toledoinvited 25 area high schoolstudents to learn more aboutphysics, astronomy and theimpact science has on worldissues on July 29-July 30,2009, at McMaster Hall,Main Campus.

August 1, 2009: Whileeducators debate the wisdomof three-year college degrees,some ambitious students aregoing ahead and finishingtheir coursework in threeyears anyhow as a way tosave thousands of dollars intuition.
It takes discipline, theysay, a clear study plan and,often, an armful of advancedplacement credits from highschool.
“I didn’t think it wasworth it to pay another$40,000 to play with myfriends for another year, cheerfor a year, and write a thesis,”said Nina Xue, who earned abachelors degree in historyand French in three years thisspring at Rice University,where she also found time tobe a cheerleader.
Xue says she didn’t startcollege with a three-yearplan, but did have a headstart with 26 AP credits. Shetook more than 15 hours ofclasses during two semestersand studied abroad one sum-mer for credit. At the start ofher third year, she realizedshe had enough credits tograduate at the end of theyear.
It was hard leaving friendsbehind, but “making my par-ents pay for another year ofschool would not have beenfair,” says Xue, who plans topursue a law degree and workin New York City next year.
Kristina Soric, who writesfor La Prensa, completed herundergraduate study afterthree years, at the Universityof Toledo in August of 2008.Soric, who began as a Psy-chology major, decided topursue a degree in Spanishafter studying abroad in Spain(where she earned extra cred-its that helped bring hercloser to graduation).
After graduating withboth majors completed,Kristina spent what wouldhave been her fourth year atUT, teaching English in To-ledo, Spain instead.
“I had the entire academicyear to do anything I wanted,since deadlines for graduateschool had already passedby the time I realized I couldgraduate early,” Soric said.“And I thought, what betterway is there to spend it than
seeing the world andgetting work expe-rience at the sametime?”
Soric will returnto Spain in October,where she will con-tinue to teach stu-dents at the Univer-sity of Castilla-LaMancha for anothernine months.
Soric is multilin-gual, mastering En-glish, Spanish,Croatian, and someFrench.
Only 4.2 percentof U.S. undergraduates earnedbachelor’s degrees in threeyears, according to the mostrecent statistics from the Edu-cation Department. The aver-age student spends six yearsto get a degree at a publicuniversity and 5.3 years at aprivate institution, accordingto the College Board.
A handful of colleges havebegun offering three-year de-gree programs, an idea trum-peted by U.S. Sen. LamarAlexander, a former educationsecretary and college presi-dent, at the American Councilof Education’s annual meet-ing in February. He calledthree-year degree programs thehigher-education equivalentof a fuel efficient car.
But critics say shaving thefourth year off college couldlimit a student’s social experi-ence and provide a narrowereducation.
“From a financial stand-point, particularly in theseeconomic times, it’s a greatdeal,” said Roxie Catts, anacademic adviser at the Uni-versity of Arizona. But thatwould mean sacrificing somegeneral education courses, shesaid—“the things that get youout of your comfort zone andstick with you for life.”
Barbara Rupp, admissionsdirector at the University ofMissouri, added, “In some dis-ciplines it would not be pos-sible” to finish in three years.“Engineering, for example—it is tough to graduate in fouryears much less three years.”
Another student at a four-year college who figured outhow finish in three wasCharles Jacobson, 20, whograduated this year in busi-ness at Skidmore College. He
credits good planning andnot AP courses. “Halfwaythrough my freshman year, Ihad all my courses plannedout,” Jacobson said.
He was motivated to geta business degree after a sum-mer job with a pet store inhigh school. He recalls go-ing to the Skidmoreregistrar’s office and posingthe idea of a degree in threeyears.
“The first thing theyasked me was, are you sureyou want to do that? I saidyes, and here is my plan.”
Jacobson also found timein college to work as a skiinstructor and complete asummer internship with afinancial planning firm. Hesaid he needed help from theregistrar’s office to pull offhis plan, but he never had aproblem registering for theright classes.
“I did have to take 8 a.m.classes, but that is no bigdeal,” he said.
Raphaelle Peinado ofRye, N.Y., a three-year gradu-ate of McGill, said the toughjob market has made herwonder whether she shouldhave hung out in college foranother year. “It is prettydaunting for students with athree-year degree to go intoa very hostile work environ-ment with little work expe-rience,” she said.
On the positive side, shethinks finishing in threeyears may have helped herget into graduate school;she’ll be attending a mastersprogram at the LondonSchool of Economics.

ANN ARBOR, July 29,2009: Eating a small lunchdoesn’t necessarily meanyou’ll be so hungry for din-ner that you’ll eat more thanusual, a new study suggests.
Exercising after a smallmeal can reduce the sensa-tion of hunger and poten-tially help lose weight, ac-cording to Katarina Borer,professor in the Universityof Michigan School of Ki-nesiology and principal in-vestigator on the study.
When the meal wassmall, people felt hungrierthan when the meal waslarger. But for the next meal,hunger ratings were equallyhigh, the study showed.
Exercising makes youless hungry, but does notmake you hungrier or eatmore at the next meal.
“The stomach or gutknows when we are full,and that has to do with vol-ume and energy containedin food,” she said. “Ourbody tracks the amount offood that goes into ourmouth and the stomach. Ourstomach is the smart guywho knows what’s goingon and tells our brain.”
Borer withheld caloriesthrough diet, and also hadpeople burn caloriesthrough exercise. The studyshowed that caloric deficitin the form of small mealscauses hunger but the re-verse is true when we ex-pend calories through ex-ercise after a large meal.
But when she replacedthose calories andnutrients intravenously,people still did not feel fullafter either a small meal orexercise, which suggestsagain that the volume offood actually passingthrough the mouth and guttriggers hunger or fullness.
Borer’s findings dis-claim the widely held posi-tion that the hormone leptinacts as a satiety signal incontrolling appetites, andthat the hormone ghrelinsignals hunger, Borer says.
Current thinking is thathormones and other sen-sors in the body somehowtrack our energy/caloricdeficit or excess, and thenghrelin signals our bodiesthat we need to eat duringan energy deficit and leptindirects that we should stopin response to caloric fill.
Hormones leptin andghrelin did track energyavailability (deficit due tosmall meals and exerciseand excess due to largemeals and intravenous nu-trients), but did not affectappetite, she said.
Borer’s findings cer-tainly do not give licenseto eat a small volume ofcalorie-rich food like a pizzawhile dieting, she stressed.You’d feel hungry soonerthan after consuming largevolumes of healthy low-
energy foods.The added benefit of low
energy but nutrient-rich food is a possible weight loss andgeneral good health, she says.Lots of vegetables and lean meatare wiser choices than pizza,she says, though equal vol-umes of both make us feel full.
“You need to satisfy yourstomach but not add a lot ofcalories,” she said.

Cuando coma y haga dieta,siga el dictado de suestómago
ANN ARBOR, el 29 de juliodel 2009: Comer porcionesmás pequeñas no significa queusted tendrá más hambre o quecomerá más a la hora de la cena,según sugiere un nuevoestudio.
Hacer ejercicio después deingerir una porción pequeñapuede reducir la sensación dehambre y potencialmenteayudar a perder peso, segúnKatarina Borer, Profesora de laEscuela de Kinesiología de laUniversidad de Michigan enAnn Arbor y la investigadoraprincipal del estudio.
Cuando las porciones eranpequeñas, las personas sesintieron más hambrientas quecuando las porciones erangrandes. Sin embargo, en lapróxima comida, los índices dehambre eran igualmente altospara ambas categorías.
Hacer ejercicios le hará sentirmenos hambre, y no le harásentir más hambre o comer másen la próxima comida.
“El estómago o losintestinos saben cuando ustedestá lleno, y esto tiene que vercon el volumen y la energíacontenidos en la comida”, dijoBorer. “Nuestro cuerpo registrala cantidad de comida que vaen la boca y al estómago.Nuestro estómago es el tipolisto que sabe qué ocurre y leavisa al cerebro”.
La investigadora redujo lascalorías mediante la dieta, ytambién hizo que los sujetos
When eating and dieting, follow your gut
quemaran calorías medianteel ejercicio. El estudio mostróque el déficit calórico enforma de comidas pequeñascausa el hambre, pero locontrario también es ciertodado cuando gastamos lascalorías mediante el ejerciciodespués de una comidaabundante.
Pero cuando Borerreemplazó esas calorías ynutrientes por vía intravenosalos sujetos siguieron sinsentirse saciados después deuna comida pequeña o delejercicio, lo cual sugiere, unavez más, que el volumen decomida que pasa realmentepor la boca y el sistemadigestivo es lo que causa elhambre y la saciedad.
Los resultados de Borerniegan la postura aceptadaampliamente que la hormonaLeptina actúa como una señalde saciedad al controlar elapetito y que la hormonaghrelina señala hambre,explica .
La opinión científica ac-tual es que las hormonas yotros censores en el cuerpo dealguna forma registran nuestrodéficit o superávit de energíay calorías, y luego la ghrelinaseñala a nuestros cuerpos quenecesitamos comer durante undéficit de energía y la leptinaavisa que debemos parar decomer en respuesta a lasaciedad calórica. Lashormonas ghrelina y leptinasí registraron ladisponibilidad de energía(déficit debido a porcionespequeñas y ejercicio, y excesodebido a porciones grandes ynutrientes administrados porvía intravenosa) pero noafectaron el apetito, segúnBorer.
Las conclusiones a las quellegó Borer ciertamente nosignifican que uno puedacomer una porción pequeñade comidas ricas en calorías,como una pizza, mientras hacedieta. Lo que ocurrirá es quese sentirá hambriento máspronto que si hubiese ingeridograndes cantidades decomidas sanas y bajas enenergía.
El beneficio agregado delas comidas ricas en nutrientespero con bajo contenido decalorías es una posiblepérdida de peso y una saludgeneral buena, dijo lainvestigadora. La abundanciade vegetales y las carnesmagras son opciones másprudentes que la pizza, dijo,aunque volúmenes iguales deambos nos hacen sentirigualmente satisfechos.
“Usted necesita satisfacera su estómago sin agregar unagran cantidad de calorías”,indicó.

La Máquina, que perdióen la primera fecha, llevabauna racha de 11 encuentrosconsecutivos sin victoria enel torneo local, en el quefueron últimos de la tablageneral por primera vez ensu historia.
Para Pumas fue susegundo tropiezo, ya queen la primera fecha cayeron1-0 ante el Atlas. Suentrenador brasileñoRicardo Ferreti deberá
buscar una solución a la faltade gol, puesto que no hanlogrado marcar en las dosderrotas.
El primer tiempo fue muyparejo, pero más con una luchaen el medio campo que congrandes oportunidades de gol.
La primera ocasión deriuesgo sobre una de las metasvino a los 40 para los Pumas,cuando Efraín Juárez mandóun centro para Jehu Chiapas,quien conectó un deficienteremate de cabeza.
Cuando estaba porfinalizar la primera mitad, elportero de Cruz Azul José deJesús Corona mandó un largodespeje que botó en lasafueras del área universitaria.Verón conectó un remate decabeza buscando devolverleel balón a su portero SergioBernal, pero éste estabaadelantado y el remate lo bañópara el autogol.
El segundo tanto fue trasuna jugada a balón parado.Jaime Lozano cobró una faltaen las afueras del área y mandósu centro al corazón del área,donde Riveros alcanzó a rozarel balón con la cabeza paradesviar su trayectoria y Bernalse quedó parado.
La Máquina pudo ampliarsu ventaja a los 55, cuando
Alejandro Vela sacó unpotente disparo que Bernalmandó a tiro de esquinacon muchos aprietos.
Pumas tuvo variasoportunidades para anotar.A los 67, Marco Palaciosremató de cabeza afuera alencontrarse libre de marcafrente al arco. Después, alos 79, el argentino MartínBravo cobró un tiro libreque se estrelló en eltravesaño.

WASHINGTON, D.C., 1VIII 2009 (AP): El deceso dela ex presidenta filipinaCorazón Aquino sorprendiódurante una visita a Wash-ington a la mandataria ac-tual, Gloria Macapagal Ar-royo, quien recordó a suantecesora como un “tesoronacional” que guió a su paísen un tiempo de grandesriesgos.
Arroyo dijo que Filipinasobservará 10 días de duelooficial tras el fallecimientode Aquino, ocurrido elsábado (hora de Filipinas)en Manila.
La mandataria dijo queAquino heredó una causa en1983, cuando su marido,Benigno “Ninoy” Aquinohijo, fue asesinado en la pistadel aeropuerto internacionalde la capital filipina, a la queregresaba del exilio enEstados Unidos para desafiar
MANILA, Philippines,August 1, 2009 (AP): Mili-tary honor guards carriedformer President CorazónAquino’s flag-draped casketto a school gym Saturday forpublic viewing, as Filipinosmourned the beloved democ-racy icon who swept away adictator and fought off sevencoup attempts.
The accidental opposi-tion leader—whose rise be-gan only after her husband’sassassination—died beforedawn in a hospital after ayearlong battle with coloncancer, which had spread toother organs and left her bed-ridden since late June, heronly son, Sen. Benigno“Noynoy” Aquino III, said.She was 76.
Monsoon rains drenchedManila’s streets as a convoytook Aquino’s casket fromthe mortuary to the gym atDe La Salle, the Catholicschool where her remains willlie in state until Mondaymorning.
More than 100 militaryhonor guards met the casketthere. Eight in olive drabuniforms and berets carriedit up a winding path to thegym while family andfriends, many dressed in hertrademark yellow, walkedbehind. Supporters droppedyellow confetti on the pro-cession.
Her body will be movedlater Monday to the ManilaCathedral where it will re-main until her funeral onWednesday. She will be bur-ied beside her husband at theManila Memorial Park.
Aquino’s son said thatdays earlier he and each ofhis four sisters went to theirmother’s bedside where they“were told to say everythingwe wanted to say.”
Aquino rose to promi-nence after the assassinationin 1983 of her husband, op-position leader Benigno“Ninoy” Aquino Jr. The up-rising she led in 1986 broughtdown the repressive 20-yearregime of Ferdinand Marcosand served as an inspirationto nonviolent resistanceacross the globe, includingthose that ended communistrule in eastern Europe.
“She was headstrong andsingle-minded in one goal,and that was to remove allvestiges of an entrencheddictatorship,” Raul C.Pangalangan, former dean ofthe College of Law at theUniversity of the Philippines,said earlier this month. “Weall owe her in a big way.”
But Aquino struggled inoffice to meet high publicexpectations. Her land redis-tribution program fell shortof ending economic domi-nation by the landed elite,including her own family.Her leadership, especially onsocial and economic reform,was often indecisive, leav-ing many of her closest alliesdisillusioned by the end ofher term.
Still, the bespectacled,smiling woman remainedbeloved in the Philippines,where she was affectionatelyreferred to as “Tita (Auntie)Cory.”
Aquino’s supporters hadbeen holding daily prayersfor her in churches aroundthe country since she wasrushed to intensive care aftershe had stopped eating in
late June.As the news of Aquino’s
death spread through Manila,radio and TV stations broad-cast documentaries and sto-ries of her life, accompaniedby music dating back to the“people power” revolt and alove song based on a poemwritten by her husband.
Catholic priests held re-quiem Masses, and ordinarypeople tied yellow ribbonsaround trees, cars, lamp postsand house gates.
Others prayed at a shrineon Manila’s EDSA highway,where hundreds of thousandsof her supporters blockedMarcos’ tanks in 1986.
“The nation lost its moralguiding light, but she willforever remain as the inspira-tion of this impoverished na-tion,” said Al Roy, one ofAquino’s godsons.
President GloriaMacapagal Arroyo, who ison an official visit to theUnited States, rememberedAquino as a “national trea-sure” who helped lead “arevolution to restore democ-racy and the rule of law to ournation at a time of great peril.
The Philippines will ob-serve 10 days of nationalmourning, she said. TheArmed Forces of the Philip-pines said it would accordfull military honors duringthe mourning period, includ-ing gun salutes and loweringflags to half-staff. The Aquinofamily, however, opted for aprivate instead of a state fu-neral.
With teary eyes, formeraides and friends recalledtheir moments with “TitaCory” in radio and TV inter-views. A former speechwriter,Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr.,broke down saying that her“purity, nobility neverfailed.”
Former top Cabinet aideFranklin Drilon said “Presi-dent Cory was the most sin-cere person I have known inmy life. ... Part of me died thismorning.”
Deposed President JosephEstrada, who was toppled inthe country’s second “peoplepower” revolt _ backed byAquino _ in 2001, said thePhilippines had “lost the truemother of democracy.”
Aquino’s successor, FidelRamos, who was themilitary’s vice chief of staffwhen he broke with Marcosand embraced Aquino, saidthe former leader “repre-sented the best of the Fili-pino of the past and the fu-ture.”
President Barack Obamawas deeply saddened byAquino’s death, said WhiteHouse press secretary Rob-ert Gibbs.
“Ms. Aquino played a cru-cial role in Philippines his-tory, moving the country todemocratic rule through hernonviolent ‘people power’
movement over 20 yearsago,” Gibbs said. “Her cour-age, determination, andmoral leadership are an in-spiration to us all and exem-plify the best in the Filipinonation.”
Maria CorazonCojuangco was born on Jan.25, 1933, into a wealthy,politically powerful familyin Paniqui, about 75 miles(120 kilometers) north ofManila.
Her unlikely rise began in1983 after her husband wasgunned down at Manila’sinternational airport mo-ments after soldiers escortedhim from a plane on his ar-rival from exile in the UnitedStates to challenge Marcos,his longtime adversary. In-vestigations showed one ofhis military escorts was theassassin.
After the murder, Aquinoreturned to the Philippinesand led the largest funeralprocession Manila had everseen, with crowd estimatesas high as 2 million.
The killing enraged manyFilipinos and unleashed abroad-based oppositionmovement that thrustAquino into the role of na-tional leader.
“I don’t know anythingabout the presidency,” shedeclared in 1985, a year be-fore she agreed to run againstMarcos, uniting the fractiousopposition, the businesscommunity, and later thearmed forces to drive the dic-tator out.
In the wake of that elec-tion, the Marcos regime—which declared martial lawin 1972 and had jailedAquino’s husband—startedto unravel.
But Marcos claimed vic-tory in those polls—widelyseen as fraudulent—leadinga group of military officers tomutiny against him on Feb.22 and holed up with a smallforce in a military camp inManila, leading to three daysof protests by hundreds ofthousands that finallytoppled him.
On Feb. 25, Aquino wassworn in as the Philippines’first female leader andMarcos flew to exile in Ha-waii, where he died threeyears later.
She stepped down in 1992after serving for six years.
Associated Press writersHrvoje Hranjski and JimGómez contributed to thisreport.
al dictador Ferdinand Marcos.Arroyo dijo que Aquino
“ayudó a encabezar unarevolución para restaurar lademocracia y el estado dederecho en nuestra nación, enuna época de grandes riesgos”.
También la Casa Blanca sepronunció el viernes por lanoche sobre la muerte deAquino y señaló que la exmandataria será recordada porsu “papel crucial” para llevaral país a un sistemademocrático medianteprotestas no violentas.
El movimiento del “poderpopular” de Aquino hizo quecientos de miles de personastomaran las calles tras lasimpugnadas eleccionespresidenciales de 1986, en lasque se declaró victoriosoMarcos. El líder filipinoterminó aceptando una ofertaestadounidense para exiliarseen Hawai y Aquino asumió la
presidencia.“Aquino tuvo un papel
crucial en la historia deFilipinas, llevando el país aun sistema democráticomediante su movimiento noviolento del ‘poder popu-lar”’, dijo el secretario deprensa de la Casa Blanca,Robert Gibbs.
Gibbs añadió que elpresidente Barack Obamaestaba triste por elfallecimiento de Aquino.
En otro comunicado, lasecretaria de Estado, HillaryRodham Clinton, dijo queAquino mostró un “valorextraordinario” tras elasesinato de su marido.
“Su fortaleza serena y sucompromiso inquebrantablecon la justicia y la libertad”fueron inspiradores para lasecretaria y su marido, el expresidente Bill Clinton,añadió.
ANN ARBOR, August 1,2009 (AP): As Michigan pre-pares to thin its prisoner ranksin the face of a massive bud-get deficit, students and re-cent graduates from the Uni-versity of Michigan are work-ing to help ex-inmates suc-cessfully return to society.
The goal of the state’sMichigan Prisoner Re-EntryInitiative is to reduce the all-too-common situation of ex-cons committing new of-fenses and ending up backbehind bars.
Michigan releases about10,000 inmates from prisoneach year.
At its Washtenaw Countyoperation in Ann Arbor, the pro-gram has eight to 12 studentsper semester, said communitycoordinator Mary King.
Megan McKinley partici-pates by giving lectures inan attempt to change publicattitudes about former pris-oners.
“I go out into the commu-nity to help people under-stand why it is so difficult forthese citizens to find suc-cess,” McKinley said in anews release from the univer-sity. “It’s the community’sresponsibility to reintegratethem back into society.”
Junior psychology majorMelissa Stellini helps ex-prisoners fill out job applica-tions and write resumes.
“It seems as if a lot of thesepeople don’t have the sup-port or options, but thatshouldn’t be the reason whythey return to prison,”Stellini said. “That’s why I
wanted to help them so thatthey can have a better life.”
Among those she helpedis Roderick McCreary, whohas spent about 30 years inprison. McCreary said theinitiative is giving him a goodopportunity to successfullyrejoin life on the outside.
“MPRI gives you a run-ning start at a goal,” saidMcCreary.
