After graduating from high school near the top ofher class, she started at the University of California,but quit after her first year. She started working at aminimum wage job during the day, but enrolled atthe local community college where she started work-ing on an accounting degree because numbers cameeasily to her. She eventually transferred to Califor-nia State University at Fullerton where she earnedher BA degree (1981) in Business Administrationwith a concentration in accounting. It took Gloriaten years of going to school at night, while workingfull-time during the day as a junior accountant toearn her BA degree.

After being elected to theboard of directors and then serving as chair of theDetroit-area council, Gloria was later elected to theNational Board of Directors of Girl Scouts of the USA,where she served for six years, including three yearsas a member of the Executive Committee.

This award is for anindividual who has made a significant contributionto the West Michigan Hispanic Business community.

“My father has always told me to never forget whereI came from. That is why I speak to young people,particularly Latinas, and tell them my story. If youwork hard, finish your education, and take advan-tage of opportunities, there are no limits to whatyou can do, especially if you are focused.”

Gloria invites you to check out the Girl Scouts’ web-site at gsmists.org.

INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING, INTEREST AMONG RURAL COMMUNITIES

CREATE MEMBERSHIP BOOST FOR GIRL SCOUTS

An eco-adventure trip to Italy, Girl Scouting activities with migrant teensand a new Meijer Garden Patch earned through a partnership with theFrederik Meijer Gardens.

It’s this kind of fresh, activity-rich programming that is driving young girlsages 5 to 17 to the Girl Scouting way of life. For the Girl Scouts of Mi-chigan Shore to Shore (GSMISTS), a 30-county region spanning Alpena to Zeeland, that is trans-lating into one of the strongest membership gains in recent years, with a greater than 6% increasein Girl Scouts over the last membership year.

“Constantly creating relevant, exciting programming is at the core of our Council,” explains EvaBerumen, VP of Membership, Volunteerism and Pathways. “We are always keeping our ears openfor what girls want and need in today’s world and how we can support that.”

Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore serves more than 10,000 girls, ages 5 - 17, in 30 countiesin northern and western Michigan. With the support of more than 3,500 committed volunteers andover 40 qualified staff members, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, such asleadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth. Lara said she is confident membership will continue increasing, provided that GSMISTS’volunteer base remains strong.

“Membership growth is directly tied to a strong volunteer base,” explains Lara. “We are alwayslooking for volunteers to lead new troops. Whether you can lead a one-time project or a troop thatmeets around your work schedule, we can find a place for you.”

LANSING — Rep. Winnie Brinks (D-Grand Rapids)recently concluded the Hunger Challenge, a one-week experience simulating the challenges facedevery day by impoverished Michiganders. The repre-sentative agreed to live one week spending no moreon $4.50 on food per person per day, which is com-parable to the food budget available to a person whorelies on the SNAP food assistance program to buygroceries.

"Participating in this event brought home some of thechallenges faced by the working poor in our state,"said Brinks, whose family joined her in the challenge."It's simply not easy to spend just $4.50 per day onfood, and by the end of the week, my family wasgoing without some of their staple food items. Find-ing wholesome, nourishing food would be even moredifficult if we lived in one of Michigan's 'food deserts,'where there are no grocery stores within walking dis-tance or accessible by public transportation."

Following her one-week challenge, Brinks summedup her experience on her Facebook page. Shewrote, "We thought about food a lot this week! Whatwe are eating... if we'll have enough to last theweek... We had to do a better job planning thingsout, from pricing to menu planning, and being cre-ative to make sure we had both healthy and inexpen-sive meals … The challenge was a great opportunityto walk in the shoes of SNAP recipients in this smallway. We've had some great conversations this week,and we are more grateful than ever for all the bless-ings we have. "

"Taking part in the Hunger Challenge made it clear tome just how vital the SNAP program is, not just forpeople struggling to feed their families, but for everyone who grows and sells food in Michigan,"Brinks said. "The money we spend on the food program flows directly from financially struggling fami-lies to farm families who are working hard to feed all of us. Every dollar spent on the SNAP program is

Columbus DayBy Jimmie Durham

In school I was taught the names Columbus, Cortez, and pizzaro and A dozen other filthy murderers. A bloodline all the way to General Miles, Daniel Boone and General Eisenhower. No one mentioned the names Of even a few of the victims. But don’t you remember Chaske, whose spine Was crushed so quickly by Mr. Pizzaro’s boot? What words did he cry into the dust? What was the familiar name Of that young girl who danced so gracefully That everyone in the village sang with her- Before Cortez’ sword hacked off her arms As she protested the burning of her sweet- heart? That young man’s name was Many Deeds, And he had been a leader of a band of fighters Called the Redstick Hummingbirds, who slowed The march of Cortez’ army with only a few

Spears and stones which now lay still In the mountains and remember. Greenrock Woman was the name Of that old lady who walked right up And spat in Columbus’ face. We Must remember that, and remember Laughing Otter the Taino who tried to stop Columbus and was taken away as a slave. We never saw him again. In school I learned of heroic discoveries Made by liars and crooks. The courage Of millions of sweet and true people was not commemorated. Let us then declare a holiday For ourselves, and make a parade that be-gins With Columbus’ victims and continues Even to our grandchildren who will be named in their honor. Because isn’t it true that even the summer Grass here in this land whispers thosenames, And every creek has accepted the responsi-bility

Of singing those names? And nothing can stop The wind from howling those names around The corners of the school. Why else would the birds sing So much sweeter here than in other lands?

Cite M1 Trolley as disruption of Detroit’s already feeble transportationsystem

Detroit – Dozens of members of the North End Woodward CommunityCoalition (NEWCC) kicked off a seven day event marching from De-troit’s North End to what is planned as the most northern stop of theM1 Trolley. The march demonstrates how far everyone in the NorthEnd including seniors and people with disabilities would have to walkto catch the M1. But the larger goal of the march is shine a light onthe lack of investment in a system that benefit Detroit’s beleagueredbus riders. The march is named the Jericho Journey to draw parallelsto the biblical Wall of Jericho that Joshua blew down. NEWCC wantsto take down the wall developing between Detroiters, those who arebenefitting from investment and those who are not.

“We're marching for seven days to draw attention to those who de-pend on Detroit’s crumbling bus system to get to work, school andmedical appointments. They will not be served by the nearly half bil-lion dollars going into the M1 Trolley,” said Reverend Joan Ross of theNorth End Woodward Community Coalition. “In fact bus transportationon Woodward will be disrupted and rerouted. Then there are the is-sues of residents and business owners that have to live with the con-struction.”

Detroit has a history of large public works projects, from the construc-tion of I-75 and Lafayette Park that wiped out Black Bottom and Para-dise Valley to GM’s Poletown Plant in Hamtramck where residentswere paid for their homes but not for having their lives turned upsidedown. NEWCC is calling for fair, community based development that

recognizes the sacrifices being made by those who mustlive with the construction and the finished project.

“We are marching to change the conversation about what’sin the public interest,” said Jasmine Thomas, bus rider andNEWCC member. “We see the M1 Trolley as benefiting arelative few as opposed to the 100,000 daily bus ridersthroughout the city. We want investment that’s truly in thepublic interest, not one group getting a toy train while oth-ers who depend on the buses get virtually nothing out ofthe deal. Let’s not build two Detroits. Let’s not have anywalls or barriers between those who depend on the busand those who ride at their leisure."

Decenas de miembros de la Final Woodward Coalición Co-munitaria del Norte (NEWCC) iniciaron una marcha desiete días de eventos de North End de Detroit a lo previstoya que la parada más septentrional del tranvía M1. La mar-cha demuestra hasta qué punto cada uno en el extremonorte incluyendo personas mayores y personas con dis-capacidad tendría que caminar para coger la M1. Pero elobjetivo más amplio de la marcha es arrojar luz sobre lafalta de inversión en un sistema que los usuarios de auto-buses asediados de beneficio Detroit. La marcha se llamael Camino de Jericó trazar paralelos a la pared bíblica deJericó, Josué derribó. NEWCC quiere derribar el muroentre el desarrollo de Detroit, los que se benefician de lainversión y los que no lo son.

BUS RIDERS KICK-OFF 7 DAY “JERICHO JOURNEY”FOR FAIR, COMMUNITY BASED DEVELOPMENT

(DETROIT) – Consulting contracts for the De-troit bankruptcy have risen to $62 million. Thebill is expected to rise if a federal judge deemsDetroit eligible to enter bankruptcy next month.Many of the new or updated contracts thathave been approved by Emergency ManagerKevyn Orr have not been shared with the citycouncil. Orr pledged several times to be trans-parent upon arriving in Detroit. However,records show that he has failed to share infor-mation with the council on at least six con-tracts that he approved since June.

“The amount of tax payer money being spentwithout transparency or accountability isalarming. It seems city resources are beingused without any realbenchmark for suc-cess. Additionally,the unprecedentedrole of lawyers andconsultants in re-shaping city govern-ment is undemocraticand alienating. Thisgangster style ofgovernment em-ployed by Rick Sny-der is shameful andmust be opposed,”said David Alexander Bullock, Change AgentConsortium national spokesperson.

Legal fees are expected to rise if the bank-ruptcy does not go as expeditiously asplanned. Orr is presently looking to pare downthe lighting system in Detroit to ultimately turn it

over to a third party, sell the parking systemand lease Belle Isle to the state. Lawyers andconsultants involved in the Detroit bankruptcymake from $185 to $1000 per hour.

Contratos de consultoría para la quiebra deDetroit han aumentado a $62 millones. Elproyecto de ley se espera que aumente si unjuez federal considera Detroit elegible paraentrar en bancarrota el próximo mes. Muchosde los contratos nuevos o actualizados quehan sido aprobados por el administrador deemergencia Kevyn Orr no han sido compar-tidos con el Ayuntamiento. Orr ha prometidovarias veces para ser transparente a su lle-gada en Detroit. Sin embargo, los registros

muestran que él hapodido compartir in-formación con elConsejo sobre almenos seis con-tratos que él aprobódesde junio.

Honorarios legalesse esperan que au-menten si la quiebrano va tan expedita-mente como estabaprevisto. Orr está ac-

tualmente buscando pare el sistema de ilumi-nación en Detroit para finalmente entregarlo aun tercer partido, vender el sistema de esta-cionamiento y arrendamiento Belle Isle al es-tado. Abogados y consultores involucrados enla quiebra de Detroit hacen desde $185 a$1000 por hora.

Grand Valley State University, GVSU is stepping up its effort to linkresearch to a growing segment of our nation’s population. The His-panic American Community is the focus of a new oral history pro-ject directed by the GVSU Kutsche Office of Local History. Dr.Melanie Shell-Weiss, Director has teamed up with Mr. Jose’ “ChaCha” Jimenez, former Young Lords Party leader and social activistto document the history of The Young Lords of Chicago and alsofocus on local Hispanic/Latino Civil Rights leaders in the West Mi-chigan area.

As part of the National Hispanic American Heritage Month, Sep-tember 15th through October 15th, the efforts of

Grand Valley State University, Kutsche Officeof Local History is on display at the Cook Li-brary located at 1100 Grandville Ave. S.W.,

Grand Rapids, Michigan. Kutsche oral his-torians including Jose’ “Cha Cha” Ji-

menez, who now holds a Master’sDegree from GVSU, have iden-tified local activists to highlightin an exhibit at the Cook Li-brary. In addition, Dr. Shell-Weiss and Mr. Jimenezorganized a special eventopened by Mayor GeorgeHeartwell to highlight the im-portant leadership role Lati-nos have played in local andnational struggles for civil

rights. The event was well attended!

A tour bus provided participants a special trip to Chicago to viewthe Lincoln Park neighborhood where formerly identified youthgang members and social activists banded together to oppose thedisplacement of the Puerto Rican community from Lincoln Park.Chicago’s Mayor Richard J. Daley and members of the economicelite in an effort to gentrify the inner city for upscale housing pro-jects sought to displace the poor and the ethnic barrio of Puerto Ri-cans to renew the center city. We are witnessing similar takeoversof inner city communities today in major urban areas across thecountry. The movement led to mass demonstrations led by TheYoung Lords Party under Jose’ “Cha Cha” Jimenez’s leadership.

Mr. Jimenez went on to become the first Latino to run and opposeMayor Richard Daley’s political machine by running for Chicago’s46th ward and he became a lead organizer for Harold Washingtonwho became Chicago’s first black mayor. Jimenez has recordedhistorical events of the 60’s and 70’s as a student at Grand ValleyState University after having moved to Michigan in the 80’s. Henow serves as the Co-Director of the Young Lords Party HistoryProject and hopes to preserve these historical records as part of theUniversity Libraries Special Collections and University Archives.

Julio César Chávez Jr. gana pordecisión unánime

El regreso de Julio César Chávez Jr., tras un año deausencia, terminó con polémica de nueva cuenta, al lle-varse una decisión unánime en una pelea en donde surival, Brian Vera, propuso mayor pelea.

Los jueces basándose más en envíos de poder que enfrecuencia de golpeo vieron ganador al ex campeónsinaloense por puntuaciones de 96-94 97-93 98-92 parasumar su triunfo 47 en el terreno profesional.

“Esta pelea fue complicada pues vera tira muchosgolpes bajos y cabezazos, pero supe resolverla bien. Sibien el tiró mucho más golpes, la efectividad fue mía, apesar de una fractura en la mano derecha”, dijo ChávezJr. al terminar la pelea.

Julio presentó una pelea muy diferente a lo que acos-tumbraba, pues dejó los intercambios de golpes paraboxear y capotear los envíos de Vera, quien siconectaba no hacía el daño esperado.

Poseedor de una pegada mucho más tranquila, Vera nodejó de lanzar golpes y buscar que Chávez se mo-lestara para que se parara a intercambiar golpes, no lologró. Al final, Chávez logró conectar un 53 por cientode los golpes de poder; mientras El Guerrero a penasun 32 por ciento.

Con esta victoria, Chávez aseguró haberse sentido có-modo pero víctima de la larga inactividad y aseguró,que si se repone de la lesión de la mano, buscará regre-sar antes de que acabe el año.

As so often happens in boxing, the story of this fight willbe the controversial scorecards. This was a tremen-dously close fight, with a number of rounds where Veraseemed to undeniably outpoint Chavez. Yet it's Chavez,perhaps unsurprisingly, being given the unanimous de-cision win.

Throughout fight week, the weight was the main talkingpoint. And in the fight, that weight, and the power it gaveChavez, was indeed the key factor. The story of the fightwas simple - Vera was the more active fighter, Chavezthe more powerful. As the fight progressed, Chavezseemed to tire. By the late rounds, he was visibly frus-trated, taking his anger out on the referee for a per-ceived lenience on low blows from Vera.

Chavez may have won this fight, but it was a bad per-formance. Add that to his terrible fight week, and this isnot an event that is going to earn Chavez any fans or ac-colades. Forhis part, Veracame in withnothing tolose, and hedid indeedgain a loteven in theloss. Afterputting upwith ridiculousactions allweek, he de-serves an-other notablefight soon.


Grand Rapids Opportunities for Women (GROW), a Small Busi-ness Administration (SBA) Women’s Business Center, has re-ceived $600,000 through the SBA to lend to local male andfemale business owners. GROW is currently accepting applica-tions for potential borrowers.

The Microloan Program gives applicants a potential opportunityfor funding that they cannot borrow through traditional banks—

Approved microloanborrowers receive a loan up to $50,000, as well as specialized technical assis-tance including GROW services like mentorship, entrepreneurial training, and one-on-one business counseling to ensure their success.

The ideal borrower has a reduced funding need (from a few thousand dollars up to$50,000), is interested in developing their business skills further, and will use fundsfor working capital, furniture, fixtures, machinery, inventory, or other equipment.The Microloan Program can reach beyondGrand Rapids, and business owners inother parts of West Michigan are also en-couraged to apply.

Saint Louis-With a cloudless sky and thetemperature ranging in the high 90s, LouFest 2013 rocked Forest Park on September7th and 8th. This was the first event I havecovered in the great city of St. Louis and Iwas thrilled to be apart of the festivities. Livemusic, three stages, thirty bands, food, andvendors. Did I mention live music for twodays from thirty bands?

Here are the bands that made up the LouFest line up: The Killers, Wilco, The Na-tional, Alabama Shakes, Edward Sharpeand the Magnetic Zeros, Jim James, LocalNatives, Fitz and The Tantrums, Toro Y Moi,Twin Shadow, Trampled by Turtles, Walk theMoon, Ra Ra Riot, Court Yard House, IconaPop, Youngblood Hawke, Robert DeLong,Jukebox the Ghost, Wild Belle, TheMowgli’s, Brick + Mortar, Desert Noises,Space Capone, Wild Cub, J. Roddy Walston& The Business, Andrea Davidson, Modoc,The Lonely Biscuits, Kentucky Knife Fight,Tef Poe

Unfortunately I was not able to experienceall the bands due to the magnitude of thefestival and the inability to be at multipleplaces at once. I did listen in on the set ofWild Belle, an up and coming band that hasMichigan ties. Natalie and Elliot Bergman,the brother/sister duo originally fromChicago, released their debut album, Isles,in March. Elliot studied at the University ofMichigan and eventually Wild Belle formed.

Their sound is eclectic and intoxicating. Na-talie’s throaty vocals sound just as good, ifnot better, live (I had goose-bumps despitethe 90 degree heat). I recommend theirwhole album but listen to “Love like this” asa starter and work your way to “HappyHome.”

The festival is more than just the diversemusical talent (ranging from rock, countyblues, blues and soul, and indie rock). LouFest also promotes a family oriented, allaround good time. Kids under the age of 12are admitted free to the event. A kid-friendlyarea called LouKidz offers music and crafts,face painting, yoga, zumba, and a School ofRock “Petting Zoo” that instructs kids how toplay a song.

Also featured at Lou Fest is Market Square,where local St. Louis shops showcase andsell their art, clothes, and accessories.

Kale salad, beef nachos, fish-n-chips, saltycaramel ice cream, and iced coffee are justa few of the several featured food vendorsfrom the St. Louis and surrounding area thatwas featured in the deliciously diverse NoshPit.

This festival has it all, for all ages. Mark yourcalendars and make Lou Fest 2014 yourtravel destination!

My greatest appreciationgoes out to the organizersof Lou Fest, and Fresh andClean Media for their ac-commodations and gen-erosity throughout theentirety of the festival. Seeyou at the next Lou Fest!

By Natalie Wood Lopez

With a historic first livebroadcast on MSNBC,Eva Longoria returned ashost of the 2013 ALMAAwards on Friday Septem-ber 27, and with the helpof EXTRA's Mario Lopez,ushered in a night filledwith laughs, commemora-tion and some beautiful(and questionable) fash-ion choices from the stars.

For the first time since itsinception in 1995, Latinoentertainment's big night

was broadcast live, though it didn't stop Longoria and Lopez from partaking in some wittybanter.

“Why don’t we talk about Ted Cruz? That guy talked for 21 hours non-stop,” Longoria saidafter Lopez pointed out that being on MSNBC would require them to talk about politics.

”21 hours–it’s crazy, huh? Usually it’s a Latina who talks for 21 hours non-stop’,” Lopezjoked.

Honorees for the night included the Latino cast mem-bers of "Dexter," Robert Rodriguez for his directorial ef-forts in the industry, Carlos Santana and RosarioDawson for their work helping the Latino communityand the cast of "Filly Brown," which received the "Spe-cial Achievement in Film" award. The late Jenni Rivera,whose debut role in the movie is often acclaimed, wasalso given a moment of silence.

The night also had its shares of laughs with a specialbit from Al Madrigal. Sebastien de la Cruz, the youngmariachi who sang at the NBA Finals and bravelybrushed off racist backlash over his performance --

once again took the stage to lift the audience's spirits withhis rendition of the national anthem.

But before the lights and honorees could hit the stage, thestars made their way on the red carpet. Eva Longoriashowed off her curves in a tapered red gown but may havebeen a little too covered up for the night. Actress AlexaVega, on the other hand, left little to the imagination in herown rouge dress that took a deep plunge in the front and re-vealed her killer legs.

Los premios ALMA rindieron este viernes tributo al talento latino del mundo del cine, latelevisión y la música con una gala presentada por Eva Longoria y Mario López dondedestacó el emocionado discurso de la actriz Rosario Dawson a favor de la reforma migra-toria en los EEUU.

Durante la ceremonia se entregaron galardones al director de cine Robert Rodríguez, almúsico Carlos Santana, a la actriz Rosario Dawson, al reparto de la serie “Dexter” y al dela película “Filly Brown”, que supuso el debut en el cine de la Diva de la Banda, la falle-cida Jenni Rivera.

Rodríguez, con su característico sombrero tejano, recibió el premio Anthony Quinn a la ex-celencia en su trayectoria gracias a títulos como “El Mariachi”, “From Dusk Till Dawn” y lafranquicia “Spy Kids”, películas en las que integró rostros, historias y temas latinos para elpúblico estadounidense.

Santana y Dawson fueronhomenajeados por sucompromiso con lascausas comunitarias ysus esfuerzos porque lajuventud tenga un ac-ceso más sencillo a lasartes, la educación y lasanidad.

La serie “Dexter” fue re-conocida por incluirentre sus actores a loslatinos Lauren Vélez,David Zayas y AimeeGarcía.


AMERICAN LATINOFILMMAKERS NEW FILM

LOS ANGELES, California - (HISPANICIZE WIRE) - Mission Park marks the debut feature filmfor writer/director Bryan Anthony Ramirez and producer Douglas Spain (Star Maps, Band ofBrothers). The film is slated for a national platform release in select Santikos Theaters on Sep-tember 5, 2013 in San Antonio, TX as well as AMC Theatres in Los Angeles, Chicago and NewYork City on September 6, 2013. Then it will expand to Bakersfield, Pittsburg and Salinas, CAthrough Maya Cinemas on September 13, 2013. It stars Jeremy Ray Valdez (La Mission), Wal-ter Perez (The Avengers), Fernanda Romero (Drag Me to Hell), Will Rothhaar (Battle Los Ange-les), and Joseph Julian Soria (Filly Brown) with Will Estes (CBS Blue Bloods) and Sean PatrickFlanery (Showtime’s Dexter). David J. Phillips (Life Happens) is co-producer and ArmandoMontelongo of Flip This House fame is the executive producer.

Mission Park tells the story of four childhood friends, whose ambitions land them on oppositesides of the law. Rookie FBI agents Bobby (Valdez) and Julian (Rothhaar) must go undercoverand face their hidden pasts in an attempt to bring down their ‘best friends’ (Perez, Soria) crimi-nal organization. The film won best narrative feature, best director, and best acting perform-ance (Walter Perez) at the 2013 Boston International Film Festival, as well as the special juryprize for best feature film at the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival 2013.

In the initial stages of the film, the filmmakers encountered many difficulties that pertained tofunding opportunities for the project. Mission Park had an almost all Latino leading cast andwithout a recognizable name attached to the film, investors did not feel confident in its suc-cess. Both Ramirez and Spain were persistent and believed the cast and the story to be strongenough to resonate with a wide audience. Fortunately, Armando Montelongo from ArmandoMontelongo Productions loved the idea and jumped at the opportunity to help finance the film.

Unfortunately, the filmed faced the same obstacles when it sought distribution. Even though thefilm had garnered great reviews and won multiple awards at the Boston International Film Festi-val and the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival, distributors were weary of the proj-ect. They noted that the filmmakers had produced a great film; however, they felt that an ethnicleading cast was a “hard sell.” There aren’t any marketable Latino actors and Hollywood is inno rush to create any.

The story of Mission Park is an American story, one that tells the value of friendship and thefaults of ambition. Ramirez and Spain believe if a film portrays Latinos or other ethnicities aspart of the American fabric, as in Mission Park, it will have potential for great success; and notonly appeal to a specific ethnicities but will resonate with a variety of viewers. Due to these be-liefs, the team behind Mission Park did not take ‘no’ for an answer. Against great odds theyachieved a theatrical distribution for Mission Park, a true underdog of a film with a fightingchance!

La película del director Bryan Anthony Ramírez, "Mission Park", una película independienteprotagonizada por actores hispanos, logró por fin su distribución en Estados Unidos despuésde muchas dificultades y se exhibirá este fin de semana en las principales ciudades del país,anunció hoy su agencia publicitaria.

La cinta luego obtuvo tres premios en el último Festival Internacional de Boston, en los aparta-dos a Mejor Película, Mejor Director y Mejor Actor para Walter Pérez; así como el premio espe-cial del jurado a la mejor película en el Festival Internacional de Cine WorldFest-Houston 2013.

El director Ramírez y el productor Douglas Spain "creen que si una película retrata a los latinosy otros grupos étnicos, como parte del producto americano, como en "Mission Park", ésta ten-drá posibilidades de éxito, y no sólo para apelar a un grupo étnico específico, sino será bienrecibida por una gran variedad de espectadores", apuntilla el comunicado.

La cinta cuenta con un reparto de actores latinos desconocidos para el gran público, en-cabezado por Ray Valdez (La Mission), Walter Pérez (The Avengers), Fernanda Romero (DragMe to Hell), Will Rothhaar (Battle Los Angeles) y Joseph Julián Soria (Filly Brown). Escrita por elmismo Ramírez, el largometraje narra la historia de cuatro amigos de la infancia que luegotoman caminos separados.Dos de ellos (Pérez y Soria) se dedican al crimen y los otros dos (Valdez y Rothhaar) se con-vierten en agentes encubiertos del FBI que deben apresar a sus mejores amigos.

Aunque hay quienes, de forma errónea, la asocian a un tipo de cocinarápida más o menos moderna, lo cierto es que la palabra ‘pizza’ seempezó a utilizar en el siglo XII en Italia para denominar una comidaque consistía en una masa de trigo plana redondeada, cuyos ingredi-entes principales eran el tomate y el queso. Un rico bocado que hasufrido una evolución como pocas recetas en la historia de la cocina,hasta convertirse hoy día en uno de los platos italianos más interna-cionales y con más adeptos a lo largo y ancho del planeta. ¿Laculpa? Tal vez su gran versatilidad culinaria; existen casi tantos tiposde pizzas como cocineros. Sin embargo, si nos animamos a prepararuna de ellas en nuestro propio domicilio, es preciso seguir una seriede pequeños trucos o recomendaciones de cara a obtener losmejores resultados. Estas son sólo algunas pistas que la conocidaempresa de pizzas Casa Tarradellas nos propone:

- Las pizzas preparadas en horno de leña resultan especialmentesabrosas. Esto se debe a la elevada temperatura que alcanza el horno.Como no es habitual tener este tipo de hornos en los hogares, es impor-tante (con el fin de conseguir el mismo efecto) precalentar nuestro hornoeléctrico o de gas a temperatura máxima unos minutos antes de ponerdentro la pizza.

- Para potenciar su sabor y su aroma, pruebe a añadirle alguna especiacomo orégano, albahaca, perejil o incluso un poco de ajo picado.

- Si quiere que resulte más jugosa bastará con aplicar un poco de aceiteen la bandeja para hornear. Otra alternativa es extender una pizca deharina. Un secreto para un toque sabroso es añadir unos trocitos dequeso cuando falten cinco minutos para que la pizza esté cocinada.

- ¿Le apetece un toque atrevido y picante? Nada tan fácil como añadirleun poco de aceite con un poco de guindilla. Para preparar este aderezoponga las guindillas en una botella de aceite y las déjelas reposar du-rante un par de semanas, hasta que absorba su aroma y sabor. Tambiénpara un toque original puede incluir entre los ingredientes pedacitos dealgún tipo de fruta.

- Si quiere conseguir que el queso sea cremoso y no cambie al estadolíquido, sólo tiene que dejar la pizza enfriando dentro del horno apagadodurante unos minutos. De esta manera, conseguirá que el queso quedefundido en su justo punto.

- En cuanto al tiempo de cocción, según algunos expertos pizzeros, 18minutos es lo ideal para que la pizza se haga, desde que pone a preca-lentar el horno hasta que finaliza la cocción de la misma (para este úl-timo punto sólo necesitas entre cinco y ocho minutos). La clave es queluzca un aspecto dorado, esté crujiente por fuera y esponjosa por den-tro.

- Para evitar que el tomate de la pizza ensucie el horno, lo mejor esasentarla sobre papel de aluminio. De esta manera impedirá que labase se pegue y la salsa de tomate se salga, estropeando la aparienciade la pizza y poniendo perdido el horno.

- Tenga en cuenta que la pizza nunca deberá ser una amalgama de in-gredientes 'sin orden ni concierto', sino un reparto equilibrado de losmismos. Sólo así conseguirá una apariencia y sabor únicos.

Pizza has become an international food since the toppings can be ex-tensively varied to meet local variations intaste. These pizzas consist of the samebasic design but include an exceptionallydiverse choice of ingredients, such as an-chovies, egg, pineapple, grilled lamb, co-conut, sauerkraut, eggplant, lamb,couscous, chicken, fish, and shellfish,meats done in ethnic styles such as Moroc-can lamb, kebab or even chicken tikkamasala, and non-traditional spices such ascurry and Thai sweet chili. Pizzas can alsobe made without meat for vegetarians, andwithout cheese for vegans. Breakfast piz-zas are topped with ingredients such asscrambled eggs.

In its native form, a pizza (occasionally,pizza pie) is an oven-baked, flat, usuallycircular bread covered with tomato sauceand cheese with optional toppings. Thecheese is usually mozzarella or sometimesa mixture of several specialty cheeses. Vari-ous other foodstuffs may be added to thisdesign as toppings, most typically:

* herbs and seasonings such as basil,oregano, and garlic* vegetables such as bell peppers, aspara-gus, broccoli, mushrooms, olives, onions* meat, seafood or fish products, sausage,(especially pepperoni or salami), ham,bacon, ground beef, anchovies andshrimp,

or years, flu vaccines in the UnitedStates have been designed to protectagainst three strains of flu. But dur-ing the 2013 to 2014 flu season, a

vaccine that protects against four strains willbe offered for the first time.

Because flu strains circulating around theworld are constantly changing, a new flu vac-cine is made every year.

Scientists make the vaccine before flu seasonstarts by predicting which flu strains arelikely to be the most common during the up-coming season.

What's in the 2013-2014 flu vaccine?

During the 2013-2014 season, a three-compo-nent flu vaccine (which protects against threestrains) and a four-component flu vaccine(which protects against four strains) will beavailable, according to the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention.

The three-component (trivalent) flu vaccine ismade from three flu strains: two influenza Astrains, H1N1 and H3N2, and an influenza Bstrain.

The four-component (quadrivalent) flu vac-cine will contain these three strains, as well asa second influenza B strain.

About 135 million to 139 million doses of fluvaccine are projected to be available duringthe 2013 to 2014 flu season, about 30 millionof which will be quadrivalent flu vaccine, theCDC says.

The CDC recommends a yearly flu shot forall Americans ages 6 months and older.

Exactly when flu season starts and ends is un-predictable, so health officials recommendthat people get their flu shot in early fall, be-fore activity starts to rise. Flu activity typi-cally peaks in January or February.

The 2013-2014 flu vaccine is available start-ing this fall. Some flu vaccine manufacturersbegan shipping this year's vaccine to healthcare providers last month. People can visit theCDC's HealthMap Vaccine Finder to find flushot locations, although they should call thelocation ahead of time to see if they have thevaccine in stock.

For children, side effects from the flu nasalspray can include: runny nose, wheezing,headache, vomiting, muscle aches and fever.For adults, side effects include: runny nose,headache, sore throat and cough.

You should not get the flu vaccine if you havea fever (You should wait until the fever isgone.)

Durante años, las vacunas contra la gripe enlos Estados Unidos han sido diseñadas paraproteger contra tres cepas tipos de gripe.Pero durante la temporada de gripe 2013-2014, una vacuna que protege contra cuatrocepas se ofrecerá por primera vez.

Debido a las cepas de gripe que circulan portodo el mundo están en constante cambio,una nueva vacuna contra la gripe se hacetodos los años.

¿Qué hay en la vacuna contra la gripe 2013-2014?Durante la temporada 2013-2014, una vac-una contra la gripe de tres componentes (queprotege contra tres cepas) y una vacuna con-tra la gripe de cuatro componentes (que pro-tege contra cuatro cepas) estarándisponibles, según los Centros para el Con-trol y la Prevención de Enfermedades.

Los tres componentes (trivalente), la vacunacontra la gripe se hace a partir de tres cepasde la gripe: dos cepas A H1N1, H3N2 y lagripe, y una cepa de influenza B.

La vacuna contra la gripe de cuatro compo-nentes (tetravalente) contendrá estas trescepas, así como una segunda cepa de la gripeB.

Acerca de 135 millones a 139 millones dedosis de vacuna contra la gripe se prevé queestará disponible durante la temporada degripe 2013-2014, unos 30 millones de loscuales habrá vacuna cuadrivalente, según losCDC.

Los CDC recomiendan la vacuna anual paratodos los estadounidenses mayores de 6meses de edad.

Exactamente cuando la temporada de gripecomienza y termina es impredecible, por loque los funcionarios de salud recomiendanque las personas que reciben su vacuna con-tra la gripe a principios del otoño, antes de laactividad comienza a subir. Actividad de lagripe normalmente picos en enero o febrero.

La vacuna contra la gripe 2013-2014 estádisponible a partir de este otoño. Algunosfabricantes de vacunas contra la gripecomenzaron a enviar la vacuna de este añopara los proveedores de atención de la saludel pasado mes de Septiembre. La gente puedevisitar Buscador Vacuna HealthMap de losCDC para encontrar lugares vacuna contrala gripe, a pesar de que deben llamar a laubicación antes de tiempo para ver si tienenla vacuna disponible.
