Ambos ataques ocurrieron en zonas dominadas por los pashtunes, creando el peligro dealienaralmayorgrupoétnico del país, del quesalió elTalibán. En esas zonas han sido repetidamente atacados objetivos del gobierno y la coalición, así como los empleados de organizaciones de ayuda humanitaria. Los niños murieron el viernes en un ataque contra un complejo cercano a la ciudad oriental de Gardez, donde un comandante afgano rebelde, Mulá Yalani, al parecer almacenó armas, dijo el teniente coronel Bryan Hilferty.

Olive Pickles nationwide FLOC’s action on December 10th, International Human Rights Day, has forced Farmer Jack to clean its shelves of all Mt. Olive Company Pickle products in all its over 100 stores nationwide. UFCW Local 911 in Toledo, which represents Farmer Jack workers, was also instrumental in the decision taken by the grocery chain. FLOC has been running a national boycott of Mt. Olive Pickle products since the company, based in North Carolina, refuses to recognize its responsibility over the farm workers who pick its cucumbers and the right of the workers to form a union. In the fields of North Carolina, farm workers are exploited to the point of their death. No breaks, no water, no rights. In 2001 Urbano Ramírez died from heat stroke while picking cucumbers for the Mt. Olive Corporation. Mt. Olive Pickles have blood on them! Help farm workers organize by supporting the boycott. If you can help, please call us at FLOC (419) 243-3456. Thank you to all the members & supporters who showed up today at the Farmer Jack store in spite of the heavy rain!

No había indicios que hubiera civiles en ese lugar», agregó. Yalani es al parecer socio del cabecilla renegado Gulbudin Hekmatyar, un ex primer ministro que se pasó al resurgente Talibán. Los militares estadounidenses creen que Yalani participó en ataques recientes contra las fuerzas de la coalición, pero no ha dado aún detalle alguno. Yalani no se encontraba en el área, situada a 20 kilómetros al este de Gardez, pero Hilferty dijo que otras nueve personas fueron detenidas. Agregó que aviones y soldados estadounidenses atacaron el complejo durante la noche, causando varias explosiones. Los cadáveres fueron descubiertos al día siguiente, al parecer muertos tras caerles un muro encima. Hilferty lamentó la muerte de los civiles en Afganistán, pero dijo que es imposible eliminar por completo tales incidentes. «Tratamos de no matar a nadie. Preferiríamos capturar a los terroristas en lugar de matarlos», insistió. «Pero en este incidente, si los no combatientes se rodean de miles de armas y centenares de municiones, obuses y morteros, en un lugar conocido por ser utilizado por terroristas, no somos completamente responsables de las consecuencias». El incidente ocurrió poco después de la trágica equivocación cometida el sábado por los militares en la vecina provincia de Ghazni.

La Prensa Newspaper Headquarters: 616 Adams Street, Toledo, Ohio 43604 • 419.870.6565 Voice • 360.530.6740 Fax By COLLEEN SLEVIN Associated Press Writer DENVER (AP), Dec. 11: Descendants of Mexican settlers who were promised they could use the land that now is the Taylor Ranch for grazing cattle and gathering firewood are celebrating a court decision that restores to them that right. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of a state high court decision that concluded the settlers’ descendants could use the 77,500 acres of the San Luis Valley ranch. “They never thought they could get it back, but we’ve won,” Shirley Romero Otero, a descendant of settlers, said Wednesday. “Now I see people with hope and lots of pride.” Jeff Goldstein, a lawyer representing the descendants, said, “It’s really a vindication of their rights. They’ve been saying this for over 40 years.” Stephen Kinnaird, a Washington lawyer involved in the Supreme Court case representing the ranch owners, declined comment. The limited partnership that owns the property includes former Enron executive Lou Pai. The 14,047-foot Culebra Peak and surrounding ranch land, about 180 miles south of Denver, became a part of the United States in 1848 after the Mexican-American war. Residents used it for hunting, grazing and gathering wood to build and heat their adobe homes. The battle, which the state court said recalled a tale that could be found in a Dickens novel, began in 1960 after North Carolina timberman Jack Taylor bought the land, including the mountain. Taylor erected a fence and ordered that trespassers be shot. There were frequent reports of tensions and beatings between the ranch and the valley residents. With the Supreme Court challenge scuttled, the descendants and the current owners must agree on a management plan for the property, as ordered by the state court, before access is allowed. They must also trace property titles back to when the settlers first arrived under a land grant from México since only current property holders who are descendants have access rights. The state court ordered that the ranch owners pay for that work. Otero, 48, remembers joining her family and neighbors on a summer trek to the land to gather enough wood for the winter for them and the elderly who couldn’t make the trip. It wasn’t just a chore, she recalls, but a big social event where the children would play and everyone would picnic together. She was 5 when she last saw the ranch and, growing up, she saw many people forced to move to pursue work in big cities like Albuquerque, N.M., and Denver after being cut off from a way to support their families by grazing their cattle. She moved to Grand Junction and became a teacher but joined the legal battle in 1981. She said the next big hurdle would be teaching the importance of conserving the land. She thinks many who left, especially retirees, will return to help rebuild that culture. That, and providing the valley’s young people a chance to learn about biology and forestry, could prevent some from leaving the valley when they grow up, she said. “I just want to go up there, at my age, and enjoy the spirituality of the mountain, the beautiful surroundings and the peace and tranquility that it will bring to me,” Otero said. “And soon we’ll be able to do it legally without fear of being beaten or getting a trespassing ticket.” LEE WILLIAMS Oregon (419) 698-2731 Honeycomb TRIPE CUT for MENUDO $ 99 19 TRIPAS $ 29 1 DE RES BEEF CHEEK $ 29 8 Net Wt 9 lb.

Email laprensa1@yahoo.com to subscribe • December/diciembre 17, 2003 CA Latino advocacy groups hold one-day boycott Tens of thousands Latino Californians participated last Friday, in a statewide boycott. Latino organizers, angered by the repeal of a law allowing undocumented immigrants to apply for driver’s licenses, kicked off a statewide boycott of businesses, schools, and radio stations with a rally at a historic Mexican-style plaza. Advocates planned the one-day boycott in response to the legislature’s action last week and as part of an effort to highlight the economic contribution of California’s Latino community, the nation’s largest. “Our people are waking up to their economic power,” said Nativo López, president of the Mexican American Political Association, one of the organizers of the boycott. “This is a call to people not to go to work, not to go to school, not to shop in stores, basically to withhold their individual and family economy from the economy of California,” López told the crowd at the downtown Rivera plaza near Olvera Street on Thursday. At 11.9 million, Latinos make up about a third of the state’s population. During the rally, Lynwood High School junior Pricilla Olguin urged students not to attend classes Friday. She said the issue of driver’s licenses affects children because some students can’t get to school if their parents can’t drive. Eastman Elementary School teacher Fernando Ledezma, who attended the rally, said he planned to stay home Friday. The license law was passed by the legislature in September and signed by then-Gov. Gray Davis, fueling criticism he was pandering to Latino voters. Fulfilling a major campaign promise, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation repealing the law last week. He has said he wants a “whole new package” that includes more safeguards and background checks on applicants. La Prensa FDA, México disagree on source of tainted green onions PITTSBURGH (AP), Dec. 10: The Food and Drug Administration reaffirmed green onions as the cause of a recent hepatitis outbreak on Tuesday, a day after a Mexican official claimed there was no evidence the outbreak could have been caused by growers there. The FDA said green onions have been found to be the cause in outbreaks in Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia in September and in Pennsylvania in late October through early November. The most recent outbreak sickened more than 630 people and killed three. During a briefing Monday, Mexican officials said they have found nothing to indicate the contamination happened in their country. “It is impossible to conclude that the outbreak can be traced to Mexican farms,” Juan Pablo Hernández Díaz, México’s secretary of agriculture in Baja California, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review after the briefing. “The evidence we have doesn’t necessarily tell us that the problem originated here.” Investigators from the FDA and Centers for Disease Control spent the first week of December in México visiting four green onion growers. They found, among other things, that the onions would have been harvested from July through September, depending on where they were shipped; none of the growers were harvesting or handling green onions when the investigators were present; no one grower’s onions are common to all of the outbreaks; and all four farms has poor sanitation and inadequate hand washing facilities, which may have contributed to the contamination. The CDC has said the contamination could have occurred in many ways, including poor hygiene by infected workers at any stage of the onions’ transit from field to the restaurant. Green onion farmers in México were pleased, but cautious, about the announcement from their government. “This is great news, but the FDA has the final word,” said Fernando Beltran Quijada, owner of Tecno Agro in the town of San Luis Rio Colorado. Hernández Díaz said the contamination could have happened in the United States. He said most of the green onions grown in northwestern Mexican are shipped to the western United States and not to Pennsylvania. “You have some boxes of green onions that are re-iced in the U.S.,” he said. “How do they know they weren’t contaminated at that point?” Last week, Javier Trujillo, undersecretary for food safety and quality in México’s Ministry of Agriculture, said Dos M Sales de México, a company located near the border city of Mexicali, in Baja California state, was washing its scallions with water from a nearby reservoir, rather than with purified drinking water, as required. However, it’s still not known if that caused the contamination. Page 3 Gobernador mexicano dice no hallaron hepatitis en Baja México, también acusó a la California Administración de Alimentos TIJUANA, México (AP): Las inspecciones realizadas por expertos estadounidenses y mexicanos no han encontrado rastros de hepatitis en varios campos de cebollín verde en Baja California vinculados con un brote que provocó tres muertes en Estados Unidos, dijeron las autoridades locales el jueves. La inspección a cargo de tres agentes de la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos, uno de los Centros de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades _ambos de Estados Unidos_ acompañados por agentes mexicanos comenzó el lunes y aún no ha concluido. Las autoridades estadounidenses piensan que los cebollines cultivados en México y consumidos en Estados Unidos fueron contaminados con hepatitis en alguna etapa del proceso de cultivo, embalaje o flete. Pero el secretario de Interior de Baja California, Bernardo Martínez, dijo que en las visitas a los campos y las empacadoras de Mexicali y Ensenada los inspectores no hallaron rastros físicos de la infección hepatítica. Los inspectores también visitaron campos en el estado vecino de Sonora y continuarán su tarea. Los agentes estadounidenses no hicieron declaraciones. Martínez dijo que algunos productores podrían iniciar juicio al gobierno estadounidense por los daños que les ha causado la caída en las ventas de cebollín desde que se anunciaron las sospechas. • México indignado con la FDA por insinuación de hepatitis en EEUU PITTSBURGH (AP): Un importante funcionario mexicano denunció que las autoridades de salud estadounidensesestánacusando precipitadamente a un restaurante mexicano en Pensilvaniaporunbrotedehepatitis A que contagió al menos a 635 personas y mató a tres. Javier Trujillo, director de un departamento de la Secretaría de Agricultura de y Medicamentos de Estados Unidos (FDA en sus siglas en inglés) de no averiguar correctamente los orígenes de la comida que se servía en el restaurante Chi-Chi’s. La FDA vinculó unos cebollines mexicanos al brote de hepatitis. Trujillo dijo que la agencia acusó a unas compañías mexicanas luego de que funcionarios mexicanos le informaron, el 21 de noviembre, a f u n c i o n a r i o s estadounidenses que esas compañías habían incurrido en “irregularidades en sus prácticas agrícolas y de procesamiento”. No obstante, los funcionarios mexicanos señalaron que ninguna de esas fallas estaban vinculadas con la hepatitis A. «Ellos necesitaban algo, y México les ofreció ese algo», dijo Trujillo al diario The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, que imprimió la entrevista en su edición del jueves. «Para la FDA es más fácil acusar a otro país. Al igual que me sería más fácil decir a mi que es culpa de Guatemala y no de México». México cuenta con 26 productores de cebollines. La FDA dice que la causa del brote son cebollines verdes procedentes de las productoras Dos M Sales, Agro Industrias Vigor, Tecno Agro International y Agrícola La Guna. «No se requiere de un gran trabajo detectivesco para saber de dónde procede el producto», dijo Joe Baca, un agente del FDA. Baca dijo que la forma cómo se empacan y se envían los productos evita que estos entren mucho en contacto con los humanos, lo que significa que la contaminación se produjo en las granjas. La FDA no ha concluido con su investigación y tardará otras dos semanas en llegar a una conclusión definitiva. Trujillo dijo que será extremadamente difícil averiguar el origen exacto del brote y agregó que la FDA no debería dar los nombres de compañías hasta no terminar la investigación. Burkett & Sons, Inc.

A ★ Los comediantes lloran en el funeral de Raúl Las cenizas de Raúl Vale ya están en México, y la noche del jueves la memoria del comediante, músico y actor fue objeto de un sentido homenaje organizado por su colega, el cómico Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo, en un hotel de la Ciudad de México que fuera hogar artístico de los éxitos de Raúl Vale. Sí, parecía que esto nunca ocurriría, pero por primera vez en una noche, la comedia lloró. Emotivo homenaje con la presencia de la crema y nata de la comedia en México, Raúl Vale fue despedido emotivamente por su familia y amigos en el Hotel Fiesta Americana de la Ciudad de México, lugar donde se presentó en incontables ocasiones. La breve ceremonia incluyó la proyección de un video en memoria de Vale, el cual presentó imágenes de sus inicios, sus éxitos a finales de los años 70”s y su incansable carrera hasta su muerte, el pasado 7 de diciembre. Sin poder contener las lágrimas, su hija Angélica Vale, así como los comediantes Sergio Corona, Rafael Inclán y el propio Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo sólo tuvieron grandes recuerdos de quien fuera padre, colega y amigo. La urna con las cenizas del comediante permaneció en el lugar del evento todo el tiempo, y fue acariciada con cariño por algunos de los presentes. Con 30 años de carrera artística y poseedor del récord por más chistes contados en la televisión mexicana [más de 400 en dos horas] Raúl Vale recibió un minuto de aplausos de sus colegas y familia presente, entre ellos sus ex esposas Angélica María y Arlette Pacheco, Hanny, su última pareja, sus hijos Angélica, Carmen, Nicole y sus colegas, Rubén Cerda, Jorge Falcón, Memo Ríos, Arturo Peniche. Las cenizas del actor y comediante serán esparcidas en el mar el 6 de enero. Descanse en paz.

Muchas felicidades a los mexicanos por este gran triunfo, y gracias a la gente por sus donaciones. Los Chistes de la semana...Y son de borrachos Dos borrachos se dirigían en automóvil a sus casas. De improviso, uno le grita desesperado al otro: “¡Cuidado con el árbol! ¡Cuidado con el árbol!” Chocan de frente contra un árbol y, por suerte, salen ilesos. Cuando logran recobrar el conocimiento el mismo sujeto reclama: “¿No te dije que tuvieras cuidado con el árbol?” “Sí, ¡pero tú ibas manejando!” Un borracho llega a su casa a media noche, y su mujer lo recibe con cara de dictadora. Con voz tartajosa y mirada retadora el tipo increpa: “¿Quién manda aquí?” “¡Yo!”, grita la mujer hecha un energúmeno. “Bueno, entonces manda a comprar 4 cervezas”. Un borracho entra en un bar, se sube en una silla y grita: “¡Ahora yo pago una copa a los que están bailando, los que están en las mesas, en el baño y al cantinero!” El borracho entrega las copas a toda la gente del bar y el cantinero le dice: “Son 3 mil pesos”.”Pero yo no tengo ni un peso”. El cantinero se amosca y lo saca a patadas del bar. A la siguiente noche, el mismo borracho vuelve al bar, se sube en una silla y grita: “Ahora yo pago una copa a los que estáán bailando...” “Sí, sí, ya sé”, interrumpe el cantinero. “A todos los que están en las mesas, en el baño y una para mí”.”A ti no, porque te emborrachas y te pones muy violento”, le responde enojado el borrachín. Un borracho está golpeando un farol de la calle; se acerca otro borracho: “¿Qué haces ahí?” “¿Yo? Llamando a mi casa”. “Pues insiste, insiste, que todavía hay luz”. Un señor acude diariamente a un bar y siempre pide tres coñacs. Un día, intrigado, el camarero le pregunta: “¿Por qué siempre pide tres coñacs?” “Es que bebo por mí y por mis dos amigos”. Sin embargo, otro día, el mismo cliente pide tan sólo dos coñacs. El camarero, extrañado, le pregunta: “¿Sólo dos? ¿Se le ha muerto algún amigo?” “No, es que he dejado de beber”. A altas horas de la noche en un parque, un borracho simulaba nadar en el pasto. En eso, en una de sus rondas, un policía lo observa y le pregunta qué es lo que hace.

Transforming the vivid image in her mind into a coffee house work of art has brought the Ecuadorian native to Toledo. “I envision my future coffee house to be a place where everyone feels welcome and can enjoy the wide selection of specialty drinks, sandwiches, and rolls,” said VásquezSerrano, a sophomore at Owens Community College.

Piece of Mexican saint’s cloak brought to LA be in the United States. Only person so poor and humble,” Cathedral four snippets have been taken Fonseca said. “It represents a By LAURA WIDES Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP), Dec. 10: A piece of a 500-year-old cloak said to be miraculously imprinted with an image of the Virgin Mary was enshrined Tuesday at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. The ceremony marks the end of a national tour for the postage-stamp-sized relic of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which was cut from a saint’s cloak by the Archdiocese of México and given to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles as a gift in 1941. It has been held in archives. The piece of fabric, placed inside a golden reliquary with a sunburst design, was borne into the cathedral on a palanquin of roses. Dancers in traditional costume accompanied the ceremonies. It is the only piece known to from the cloak, which hangs in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. “What’s amazing is that it has lasted all these centuries,” said Carolina Guevara, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles archdiocese. “It gives the opportunity for those faithful who aren’t able to go to México City to venerate the Virgin here.” Officials expect thousands of people to pay homage to the relic in the coming days, she said. The Virgin of Guadalupe long has been venerated by Mexicans and in 1999 she was named the patron saint of all the Americas. María Fonseca, who was born in México and lives in East Los Angeles,camewithherthreeadult children to see the cloth and to give thanks for her son’s recovery from a brain tumor. “It’s a very big thing for us, that the Virgin appeared to a lot for us Mexicans.” According to tradition, the cactus-cloth cloak belonged to a poor Mexican Indian, Juan Diego, who was visited by Mary in 1531 on a hill outside México City. To convince a skeptical bishop, Mary told him to gather up roses in his cloak from a hill where they never had grown in midwinter. When he opened spilled out the flowers, the image of Mary was revealed inside his cloak. Last year, Pope John Paul II canonized Juan Diego, making himtheChurch’sfirstIndiansaint. The relic was enshrined following a Mass in honor of the feast day of St. Juan Diego. It will be permanently displayed on a 17th-century statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Con su gran trayectoria a través de los años y mil usos, no es difícil creer que los dominós tengan su fanaticada alrededor del mundo. El origen de el dominó es incierto. De acuerdo a Dominic C. Armanino, autor de “The Popular Game of Dominoes: Rules and Strategies” (El Juego Popular del Dominó: Reglas y Estrategias), el juego de dominó más antiguo fue encontrado en la tumba de Tutankamón, faraón del antiguo Egipto que reinó en dinastía XVIII por el año1355 a. C. De acuerdo al artículo «Dominoes» (Dominó) por Ken Tidwell, fue en la China donde aparecieron 32 fichas del año 1120 d. C. En esta segunda versión, la idea del dominó viene a base de las combinaciones numéricas que se forman con los dados, juego introducido por la India. Durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, el dominó llegó a Europa, haciendo su aparición en Italia, España, Francia e Inglaterra. Ahora este juego se encuentra en muchas partes alrededor del mundo, con gran popularidad en América Latina. En Cuba y Puerto Rico, el dominó se considera como un pasatiempo tradicional. Las reglas del juego de dominó son sencillas, aunque varían dependiendo del país o región. Por lo general se juega con 28 fichas, todas con una combinación diferente del cero al seis, incluyendo dobles, se juega con cuatro personas, las cuales forman equipos con el que se encuentre enfrente, formando dos equipos. El jugador con el doble seis comienza el juego y todos los jugadores toman su turno para colocar una ficha en la mesa, combinando el número de puntos en cualquiera de los dos lados de las fichas en mano y las de las fichas no unidas en la mesa, formando así un rectángulo abierto sobre la mesa. Si no puede combinar ninguna de las fichas en mano con las que están en la mesa, pierde su turno. El primer jugador que coloque todas sus fichas es el ganador y su equipo recibe como puntos el total de las ficha en mano de los otros jugadores. ¡Pero el juego también tiene su lenguaje! Decir «paso» significa que el jugador no tiene ninguna ficha que combine con las que están en la mesa. Colocar la «chiva» es colocar la ficha en blanco o doble cero. Ganar con «capicú» o «capicúa» es ganar con una ficha que puede ser colocada en ambos lados del rectángulo abierto, jugada que dependiendo con quien se juega puede aumentar el puntaje del equipo ganador. «Trancar» el juego es colocar la última ficha de un número, terminando así el juego pues no se puede colocar otra ficha. En este caso, el jugador con la menor cantidad de puntos en mano es el ganador. Hoy en día el dominó ha sido recomendado y usado por expertos en educación, como instrumento en el aprendizaje de matemáticas para los niños. También es usado para crear obras de arte. En particular esta la página w e b www.dominoartwork.com en la cual se encuentran retratos de famosos como Abraham Lincoln o Marilyn Monroe u obras de arte como la Mona Lisa de Leonardo Da Vinci hechas con exactamente 48 juegos de dominó de doble nueve. Estos retratos son hechos a base de un programa de computadora creado por el matemático Robert Bosch del Oberlin College en Ohio. El juego de dominó no está tan lejos de nosotros. Se han visto juegos en el Papá Simón Bar & Grill en Whitehall, Ohio, El Rincón Latino Restaurant & Night Club en Cincinnati, Ohio y el Club Puertorriqueño de Detroit en Detroit, Michigan. ¡Y hay más por llegar! La página web www.meetup.com se esta preparando para reunir a todo el quiera jugar dominó con jugadores en sus respectivas ciudades para el Día Internacional del Dominó, el cual se llevará a cabo el 6 de enero del 2004 a las 7:00pm. Apúntese en su ciudad, aprenda a jugar y empiece a practicar por que el clásico juego de dominó esta ganando popularidad muy cerca de nosotros. Contreras fundraisers successful Danny Contreras (top left) gathers with some of his hermanos at last week’s successful fundraiser at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Art Marx. Contreras has announced his intentions to run for the sheriff of Lucas County, Ohio. Marx is a retired police officer for the city of Toledo. Contreras is a former deputy of the Sheriff’s Department, serving 18 of his 29 years as Captain. Below, Contreras chats with some of his supporters including Ray Brown, a retired deputy sheriff, and Harvey Wells, both active supporters in the Contreras bid for Sheriff. Contreras also had a fundraiser last Saturday at Somerset Hall, where hundreds of children and parents enjoyed breakfast with Santa.

For the eighth year, the “National Brownout” study by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists found inadequate attention paid to America’s largest and fastestgrowing minority. “This year’s report once again highlights the dismal progress the networks have made in their coverage of the nation’s Hispanic community,” association President Juan González, a New York Daily News columnist, said in a statement. The 120 Latino-related stories made up less than 1 percent (0.75 percent) of the approximately 16,000 that aired on the major newscasts in 2002, the study found. That represents a small increase over 2001’s 0.62 percent. Latinos make up more than 13.5 percent of the U.S. population. Two-thirds of all evening newscast stories concerning Latinos were about crime, terrorism, and illegal immigration, according to the study of ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. The kidnap-murder of 5year-old Samantha Runnion in California and subsequent arrest of Alejandro Avila, who awaits trial, dominated the crime category with 18 stories. Also heavily covered with 21 stories was the case of José Padilla, a former Chicago gang member, who is accused of plotting to detonate a radioactive bomb. There were efforts to report on Latino life more comprehensively with, for example, politics and the growing Hispanic vote the topic of eight network stories, the study found. “We are pleased to see that there is some progress being made, but recognize that there is still more work to be done,” NBC News said in a statement. ABC led the way with more balanced coverage of Latinos and with stories on a wide range of topics, the study found. One ABC correspondent, Judy Muller, was singled out for her contributions. “ABC News is very committed to diversity on the air, behind the camera and in the stories that we tell,” ABC News HERBALIFE 100% Pierda hasta 20 libras en poco tiempo con nuestras opciónes, pierda peso con resultados permanentes.

Call Rubén Ramos at (419) 255-5007 (313) 729-4435 or (419) 870-6565 spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said Wednesday. Overall, there was an increased use of Latinos as interview subjects and a slight increase in the length of Latinorelated stories (from 2 minutes, 25 seconds in 2001, to 2 minutes, 51 seconds in 2002). But the results were largely troubling, especially given the critical role TV news plays in shaping U.S. perceptions, the report concluded. The failure to reflect a broader, more balanced view of Latino life may stem in part from the lack of Latinos in newsrooms and in broadcast management, the journalists’ association said. Networks have consistently rejected a request to report on the racial and ethnic makeup of their newsrooms, although newspapers and local radio and TV broadcasters conduct such studies, the association said. Data for the NAHJ study came from the Vanderbilt University Television News Archives. The research and data analyses were conducted by Serafin Mendez and Diane Alverio, who also co-wrote the report with Rod Carveth.
