Ry Cooder: I, Flathead

Tomas — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:13:00 +0000

"Ry Cooder has been exhuming and reappraising overlooked areas of the musical culture of America (and beyond, as the Buena Vista Social Club can vouch) for so long now that he has become part of the story himself. More than four decades since he emerged as an electric blues guitarist so highly rated that he turned down an offer to join the Rolling Stones, Cooder continues to ferret out unfamiliar and neglected stories.

I, Flathead is the third part of a loose Southern California trilogy that kicked off with the acclaimed Chavez Ravine in 2005, an elegy for a destroyed Latino community in the heart of Los Angeles. Its follow-up, My Name is Buddy, told the history of US labour as seen by a folk-singing cat (how else?). I, Flathead, though, is an unashamed tribute to Californian strange. A set of linked songs supposedly performed by one Kash Buk, a jobbing musician and salt flats racer (a “flathead” is an early V-8 engine), it explicitly evokes an era of “popular mechanics” magazines, sci-fi comics and demobbed servicemen in search of a thrill, the time and place that threw up the Church of Scientology, the Hell’s Angels and Disneyland. The modern world, in fact. "

AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega to be Inducted into Prestigious Hispanic Scholarship Fund Hall of Fame

Tomas — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:05:24 +0000

"The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the nation's largest organization in support of Latino higher education, has selected Ralph de la Vega, President and CEO of AT&T Mobility, as an honorary inductee into its 2008 Alumni Hall of Fame. De la Vega will receive the Triunfador Award at the HSF Alumni Hall of Fame gala on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008, at the Pierre Hotel in New York City.

Each year, HSF selects five accomplished Latinos to induct into its prestigious Alumni Hall of Fame. Four of the exceptional individuals are HSF alumni, who each received HSF scholarships to support their higher education aspirations. A fifth individual, while not a former HSF Scholar, is presented with the honorary Triunfador Award for realizing the ultimate professional achievement and "raising the bar."

"We are proud to honor Mr. de la Vega because he personifies the mission and values of HSF," said Frank D. Alvarez, HSF President & CEO. "He is an inspiration to aspiring Latinos everywhere. His success story is testimony to the impact of higher education and the tremendous difference it makes in a life."

Alvarez said de la Vega serves as a positive role model for Latino students, which is a trademark of previous HSF Alumni Hall of Fame honorees. "Annually, the inspiring stories of HSF's inductees put a face on and demonstrate the power of higher education," he said.

A native of Cuba, de la Vega came to the United States alone at the age of 10, while his parents were forced to stay behind because of complications with their immigration documentation. Leaving behind everything but his suitcase and the clothes on his back, de la Vega lived with family friends in Miami for four years before reuniting with his parents and sister.

In spite of these challenges, de la Vega's family instilled in him an appreciation for education, and he went on to earn a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Florida Atlantic University and an MBA from Northern Illinois University. In addition to his degrees, de la Vega completed the Executive Program at the University of Virginia.

De la Vega's commitment to community service is reflected by his active participation in many youth-oriented organizations. He serves as Vice Chairman of the Board for Junior Achievement (JA) Worldwide and sits on the Boy Scouts of America Board of Directors. He also serves as Chairman of the JA Hispanic Initiative, a program that encourages Hispanic students to remain in school and prepare for success in the business world.

"I am honored to be a part of HSF and the valuable work it does in developing the next generation of Latino leaders," de la Vega said. "I have always believed in helping young people recognize their own potential and become all they can be. And HSF is among the most successful organizations in our country at doing this."

De la Vega has had a distinguished career in telecommunications. In 1974, he started with BellSouth (then Southern Bell) as a Management Assistant. He worked his way up to directing all of BellSouth's Telecommunications Network Operations for Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. He has also worked internationally, serving as President — BellSouth Latin America, with overall responsibility for BellSouth's Central and South American operations in 11 countries.

In 2004, de la Vega joined Cingular Wireless as Chief Operating Officer and successfully guided the company through a landmark merger with AT&T Wireless to create the nation's largest wireless phone company.

In late 2007, shortly after the new AT&T acquired BellSouth and took full ownership of Cingular, de la Vega was appointed President and CEO of AT&T Mobility, ensuring the successful rebranding of the company and the launch of the revolutionary iPhone, as well as a continuum of other innovative devices and services.

De la Vega is the first honoree to be selected for the 2008 recognition. The four alumni recipients will be announced in July."

The Harry Fox Agency, Inc. (HFA) en Espanol Debuts Online

Tomas — Thu, 29 May 2008 15:59:17 +0000

"The Harry Fox Agency, Inc. (HFA), a leading U.S. music rights licensing organization, has added a Spanish language section to its website, www.harryfox.com/espanol. HFA en Espanol has answers to frequently asked questions regarding HFA and music licensing, along with a direct email, esp@harryfox.com, which goes directly to the company's Latin Licensing agents.

"HFA is aware of the significant demand for Spanish language recordings in the U.S., and we have a dedicated team of licensing agents for the Latin market who are fluent in Spanish and are ready to assist labels and publishers with their mechanical licensing needs," said Gary Churgin, President & CEO, HFA. "We will continue to develop our specific Spanish language service as needed to best serve this market."

According to RIAA reports, almost 7% of CDs shipped in the U.S. in 2007 were in the Latin music genre, defined as having 51% of material in Spanish. Mechanical licenses are required under U.S. Copyright Law if one wants to duplicate and distribute a recording of a song that is owned by someone else. U.S. mechanical licenses are also required for recordings made abroad and imported into the country. Through proper licensing, the publisher, and ultimately, the songwriter, are compensated for the use of their work.

About HFA
Established in 1927 by the National Music Publishers' Association, HFA represents over 35,000 music publishers for their licensing needs in the United States, issuing licenses and collecting and distributing the associated royalties. In addition to being the premier mechanical licensing agent in the U.S., which includes CDs, ringtones, digital downloads, interactive streams, limited downloads and more, HFA is dedicated to finding new ways for its affiliates publishers to recognize value for their catalogs, including lyrics and tablature. Further, HFA provides collection and monitoring services to its publisher clients for music distributed and sold in over 95 territories around the world.

There’s lots to celebrate at Chicano graduation – Cal State Bakersfield

Tomas — Thu, 29 May 2008 14:08:33 +0000

"Cal State's Latino students are scheduled to celebrate academic success June 8 at the university's annual Chicano Commencement at the campus' Doré Theatre. The event was organized by the campus chapter of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, or MEChA.

MEChA's mission is to help Hispanics succeed in higher education despite the silly attempts of the state of Arizona to brand the organization separatist and ban it from college and high school campuses. The group was born in the late 1960s, so if it really advocates violent revolt — as some of its hyperventilating critics suggest — it's been biding its time for quite a while.

The Chicano Commencement is bilingual, has been held for more than 25 years, and 30 to 50 students typically participate, according to Professor Thomas Martinez, chairman of the university's department of public policy and administration."

Argentina: A Different Kind of Land Occupation

Tomas — Wed, 21 May 2008 16:37:53 +0000

""This is going to be a different type of occupation," say the people of Tierra y Libertad (Land and Freedom), a land occupation on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The name of their group gives an idea of what they intend. The occupation began on March 29th this year when 40 families entered a small parcel of land in La Matanza and began setting up a community. Since then the occupation has grown to over 135 families and has continued to organize and resist eviction in the face of intimidation and violence.

Land occupations are not unusual in the poorest suburbs surrounding Buenos Aires (the neighbouring land was occupied 3 years ago), but what sets this apart is the vision for another kind of community. All decisions are taken by popular assembly and political parties and the associated mechanisms of party politics have been consciously excluded. In place of this is a plan that includes two community centres, one for meetings and activities and another one for two common brick and bread ovens."

Beyond the Beach in Puerto Rico

Tomas — Tue, 20 May 2008 15:52:35 +0000

"My co-paddler and I were in one of eight kayaks moving through a narrow mangrove lagoon outside the fishing village of La Parguera in southern Puerto Rico. Our destination was the famous bioluminescent bay, a natural phenomenon created by tiny organisms that glow as a protective mechanism - the better for predators to see other game.

It was so dark on this evening, we kayakers could hardly see our hands holding the oars. A scuffling in the dense bushes startled us. We heard a snort (a wild pig?) and brushed up against something hanging from a tree (a python?). A fish jumped in the water (a piranha?). And then a big crash as we butted up against a fellow kayaker - who was not amused as we laughed uncontrollably from relief, fear and from exhaustion. "

Ways of Ancient Mexico Reviving Barren Lands – the traditional milpa

Tomas — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:40:01 +0000

"Under conventional economic logic, Mr. León is uncompetitive. His yields are just a fraction of what mechanized agriculture churns out from the vast expanses of the Great Plains.

But to him, that is beside the point.

The Mixteca highlands here in the state of Oaxaca are burdened with some of the most barren earth in Mexico, the work of more than five centuries of erosion that began even before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers, their goats and their cattle. The scuffed hillsides look as though some ancient giant had hacked at them, opening gashes in the white and yellow rock.

Over the past two decades, Mr. León and other farmers have worked to reforest and reclaim this parched land, hoping to find a way for people to stay and work their farms instead of leaving for jobs in cities and in the United States."

Immigration rally to support tomato pickers – Riverside, California

"A group of student activists plan to protest outside a local restaurant Thursday to draw attention to the treatment of tomato pickers, then march on the Riverside County Sheriff's Department to denounce recent federal immigration enforcement actions in the county.

Two- to three-dozen members of the UC Riverside chapter of MEChA plan to gather around 5 p.m. outside a Burger King at 2167 University Ave., where they will call for a boycott of the restaurant chain and Chipotle Mexican Grill over the wages paid to tomato pickers, said UCR MEChA spokesman Omar Aguiar."

Impact of War: Guererro Azteca Peace Project – Fernando Suarez del Solar

Tomas — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:56:49 +0000

"Cal State San Marcos held guest speaker Fernando Suarez del Solar who was invited by the National Latino Research Center, MEChA, and the Women's Studies Club. The issue was the local impact of war on Latino youth. Various students crowded Academic Hall to listen to Fernando speak about his experiences with the armed forces, how recruitment affects Latino's throughout the San Diego area and the tragic loss of his son as a Marine.

The movement that Fernando started is known as the Guerrero Azteca Peace Project (Aztec Warrior), it is comprised of ten members and Fernando does not look to recruit members but rather distribute the message that brings awareness to how the Army and other branches recruit the Hispanic and African American communities in a substantial amount as opposed to schools which are primarily white. Fernando has been traveling for the past five years, preaching peace and spreading the message to young students who belong to minority groups. His message is simple: recruiters are deliberately going to low income high schools trying to recruit kids which may not be thinking of attending college while making false promises."

A Chicano activist celebrates an anniversary – Armando Vazquez-Ramos celebrates the birth of the Chicano Movement 40 years ago

Tomas — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:00:30 +0000

"He could have been one heck of an auto mechanic. But the prevailing forces of the civil-rights movement, a raging war overseas and a leap of faith in education rewrote the destiny of Armando Vazquez-Ramos.

Beginning in March and extending throughout the year, countless events will celebrate the 40th anniversary of what Vazquez-Ramos and many others of his generation hail as the birth of the Chicano Movement. They connect it with the March 1968 walkouts involving hundreds of East Los Angeles high-school students.

Led by a passionate young teacher named Sal Castro, Mexican-American kids defied their instructors and, in many instances, their parents to protest institutional racism and inequitable education conditions on their campuses. Their actions lighted a fire that engulfed young brown teens throughout the whole Southwest."

Gene Linked to Preterm Birth Among Hispanic Women

tomasz — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:46:39 +0000

"Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that the gene ENPP1 is linked to preterm birth and low birth weight among Hispanic women.

Errol Norwitz, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale, will present preliminary results from this research at the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine Annual Meeting on February 2 in Dallas, Texas.

One out of eight babies in the United States is born prematurely—delivery prior to 37 weeks gestation. These babies don’t fare as well as their full-term counterparts, especially if they are born prior to 28 weeks gestation. In many cases, it is still unclear why preterm births occur, but Norwitz said that both the genetic make-up of the mother and the genetic make-up of the baby play a role.

Norwitz and his collaborators sought to understand the mechanisms responsible for the onset of labor at term and how these mechanisms are either overwhelmed or short-circuited, leading to preterm birth. Some women, especially African-American women, are genetically pre-disposed to preterm births, even after taking into account socioeconomic status, demographics, underlying medical conditions and multiple pregnancies. Norwitz said that multiple genes or a single particular genetic variant—single nucleotide polymorphism—may be involved.

In his study, Norwitz and colleagues tried to tease out some of the genetic factors that are important for preterm birth. They isolated DNA in blood samples from a largely Hispanic population of mothers with a history of preterm birth and compared them to the DNA of women who had only had full-term pregnancies. They then screened the DNA for 128 different genetic variations in 77 candidate genes. While these genetic variants have been known to cause clinical disorders, no one had ever investigated them in the context of preterm birth before.

Four polymorphisms were associated with premature birth, but—to the team’s surprise—a variant of the ENPP1 gene was the one most closely linked. ENPP1 has been associated with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and a risk of developing type-2 diabetes. In certain people, it is associated with hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure. In the context of prematurity, say the researchers, it is possible that the variant form of ENPP1 is associated with deranged energy metabolism.

“In our original study, 85 percent of the population was Hispanic,” said Norwitz. “It appears that there are genetic variations unique to each ethnic population. We are now in the process of validating our findings in African-American, Caucasian and Native-American populations.”

Other authors on the study included Victoria Snegovskikh, Charles Lockwood, Edward Kuczynski, Louis Muglia, Daniel Robert Tilden, Beth Ann Kozel, Edmund Funai, Mert Ozan Bahtiyar, Guoyang Luo, Stephen Thung and Thomas Morgan.

A discussion on this topic is available on Yale University iTunes U, “Health and Medicine” section."

United States To Impose Tariffs On Honduran Sock Imports

"Responding to a near doubling of cotton sock imports from Honduras in 2007, the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA) has notified Honduras it is planning to invoke a safeguard mechanism that could result in new tariffs for the remainder of this year. The US Association of Importers of Textiles and Apparel (USAITA) immediately attacked the action, saying it is a “serious mistake” that undermines all of the US free trade agreements (FTAs). "
