The largest Hispanic companies´ 15.2 percent revenue growth for 2005 represents the best performance for the 500 since 1996. Cumulative revenues for the directory now total $34.82 billion. Looking at the 500 more closely reveals a trend apparent last year – namely that the largest companies on the directory account for the lion´s share of the growth. A striking example of this occurs with the first company on the list. For Colorado Businesses who made the HB500 page 9 Florida increased its revenues by $1.12 billion, a 52.8 percent gain over the previous year. It marks the first time a company on the 500 has grown by more than $1 billion in a single year.

Bobbi Jo Keefer, director of student life, spearheaded the project. “I’m a firm believer in study abroad and opportunities for students to experience as much as they can,” Keefer said. “This can be a great way to open students’ eyes to discover more about their world.” Adams State students continue to pay Adams State tuition while attending an NSE university. Priscilla Gardea ’06 plans to attend Keene State College in New Hampshire. “I want to get the most from my undergraduate experience,” Gardea said. “Going to a new school for my final semester will be like reliving my freshman year.” Amy LeVay ’08, an art major, plans to attend California State University at Northridge. LeVay said going to a larger school will allow her to develop her social skills and choose from a variety of classes. “Since I am an art major, the more experience I get with different styles of professors, the more my talent will expand,” she said. Jodie Brubacher ’09 plans to attend University of Hawaii at Hilo. “I have always wanted to go to Hawaii,” Brubacher said. “I heard about the NSE program and figured that it would be a perfect way to go. Plus, I would be able to spend a lot more time there than I would on a vacation.” In order to be eligible for the program, students must maintain a 2.7 GPA.

I used to be assured that in most parts of the country the term that was used, was Dad or my Father, then I spent some time in the South. I quickly noticed most of the women down South, could tell you about their” Daddy”. Somehow today, when I answer the phone and hear “Hi Daddy,” I know who it is and what it means. And she is not from the South. During this holiday, we normally hear of news about Dads and what they did or not accomplish. There will be positive stories, negative stories; to many of us it is the same question. How in the world did Dad do it? To grow up in the 40’s, no TV, no cell phones. How did he know when it was time to play catch, when to assure I had done my chores? Some of the lessons where subtle, not pressured, my family is familiar with the term, “Till death due us part” and through the years we come to understand other things he wanted us to know. Perhaps at the time we were too busy to really comprehend… Hi Daddy, it is nice to hear. Have a great Fathers Day. 15 de junio - 22 de junio 2006 Page Page 33 3 COMMUNITY NEWS District 11 summer registration Summer Registration in District 11 for elementary and middle school students only will be held Jul 3 - 31 (except July 4), Mon - Fri, 8 am - 4 pm.

El segundo mundial que se juega en este país es el segundo en el cual los “socceroos” entran a tallar y lo han hecho con muy buen pie. Primero Australia eliminó al bicampeón Uruguay, anfitrión del primer Mundial, y hoy acaba de golear 3-1 al anfitrión del anterior mundial (Japón). El choque entre Japón y Australia era el de dos gigantes del Pacífico que batallaron duro en la II Guerra Mundial aunque hoy son los mayores socios de EEUU en su región. Los canguros nunca destacaron en el fútbol pero sí en el rugby. Australia fue el primer anfitrión del mundial de la unión del rugby y es también el país que más mundiales ha ganado en dicho deporte. El fútbol y el rugby tienen un origen común en Inglaterra. Sin embargo, aislados en un rincón del planeta los australianos no le dieron mayor importancia a lo que ellos y los norteamericanos denominan el “soccer” y más bien desarrollaron el rugby y su propio fútbol. Este último se juega con 22 jugadores y con una cancha mucho más grande (185 metros de largo) que tiene tres arcos en cada lado. Si bien éste tiene rasgos similares al rugby (por el tipo de pelota empleada y por la posibilidad de usar las manos y coger al adversario) tiene mucha influencia de nuestro fútbol en el sentido que los goles deben ser hechos por tiros de pie. En Londres los latinos suelen reunirse cada domingo en el parque de Clapham para vivara sus equipos en la copa latinoamericana de balompié y muy cerca de su cancha juegan los australianos su propio fútbol. Para Japón-Corea del Sur 2002 los “socceroos” fueron eliminados por los charrúas. Esta vez en Sidney consiguieron una venganza, dulce para ellos, pero amarga (como el mate uruguayo) para los latinoamericanos. Australia ahora quiere seguir los pasos de EEUU y toma en serio al mayor juego de pelota que hay en el globo. Al igual que los norteamericanos le da importancia al fútbol femenino y ha invertido bastante en el balompié masculino. Para ello contrataron a uno de los mejores técnicos que hay: Guus Hiddink, quien dirigió a Holanda y a Corea del Sur hasta hacerles entrar en semifinales de mundiales. Su selección, además, está llena de cracks curtidos en clubes británicos y europeos. En Oceanía Australia ha sido como un tuerto que es el rey en el país de los ciegos. Ha ganado todos los campeonatos de dicha región salvo en dos oportunidades en que quedó subcampeón. Para Corea-Japón 2002 Australia llegó a ganar en el Pacífico con las goleadas más espectaculares vistas en la historia de los mundiales. Venció a las Islas Cook 17 a 0, a Tonga 22 a 0, y a Samoa Americana 33 a 0 (¡un promedio de un gol cada 160 segundos!). La tragedia australiana ha sido la de quedarse relegada a jugar siempre partidos con los equipos “parias” de otros continentes, en donde suele quedar eliminada. En 1970 y 1982 se midió con Israel, quien no podía jugar con sus vecinos, con quienes guerreó. En 1978 debió medirse con Taiwán, a quien China no quería ver en el grupo asiático. Australia no solo ha querido llegar a Alemania 2006 sino mostrar que Oceanía puede dejar de ser la cenicienta del balompié global. ¡México saca lo Bravo! México y Portugal, que venció a segunda hora a Angola por 1-0, encabezan el Grupo D con tres puntos. Oswaldo Sánchez, guardameta mexicano y cuya participación estuvo en duda hasta la víspera, terminó el duelo en lágrimas y rodeado por todos sus compañeros, que tan pronto sonó el pitazo final corrieron a abrazarlo. Los mexicanos no lograron engranar a perfección en la salida, y por momentos se vieron complicados por un veloz equipo iraní y sus frecuentes llegadas por la banda derecha. La presencia del capitán Rafael Márquez fue la llave que mantuvo el orden frente a las incursiones rivales. Sánchez, vitoreado por los miles de aficionados mexicanos que avivaron el estadio, realizó una de sus características atajadas a los 12 minutos, cuando voló hacia su izquierda y alcanzó a manotear un cabezazo de Vahid Hashemian que se dirigía a la red. El primer gol llegó a los 28 minutos, en un balón parado. Pável Pardo pateó un tiro libre desde la derecha, Franco cabeceó al arco y Bravo, siempre en el lugar correcto, desvió la pelota con el pie derecho para burlar al arquero Ebrahim Mirzapour. Cuando México parecía dominar a su antojo, llegó el balde de agua fría del empate. Los iraníes sacaron un córner desde la derecha, Hashemian cabeceó y Sánchez tapó el remate pero el rebote quedó en los pies de Golmohammadi, que sólo tuvo que meterle el pie para empujarla a la malla. La entrada en el complemento de “Zinha” y Luis Pérez, por Gerardo Torrado y Franco, le cambió la cara al partido y los mexicanos se apoderaron de la posesión del balón. Jared Borgetti fue reemplazado al inicio del segundo tiempo por una lesión en la pierna izquierda. Su lugar lo tomó Francisco Fonseca. Mirzapour, portero iraní falló en un despeje, y la defensa le entregó el balón a “Zinha”, que lo filtró a Bravo y el delantero fusiló con sangre fría para el 2-1. Apenas tres minutos después, “Zinha” cabeceó un centro de derecha de Mario Méndez para la tercera diana. México enfrenta el viernes a Angola, y el 21 a Portugal. Irán el sábado con Portugal, y el 21 con Angola. Lima vs. Caracas Por Isaac Bigio En la 36a Asamblea de la OEA, Nicaragua se ha unido al Perú para denunciar que Chávez también interfiere en su proceso electoral. Brasil, cosa importante, ha apoyado al Perú, mostrando su disgusto por la nacionalización de Petrobras que Caracas apoyó en Bolivia. Ni García ni Chávez quieren romper relaciones entre sí. La guerra verbal que ambos protagonizaron sirvió al aprista para ganar el voto derechista y al bolivariano para hacer que Humala lo siga y se izquierdice. Hoy, ambos han logrado sus propósitos. García ha llegado al gobierno y ahora la oposición venezolana anuncia unirse tras un solo candidato. Chávez ha logrado crear por primera vez un movimiento masivo afín en Perú (donde antes no tenía nada), que ganó más del 50% de los votos fuera de Lima y que usará ese caudal para presionar al nuevo gobierno a que busque revisar el TLC, ser autónomo de EEUU y aplicar medidas populistas. El nuevo campo de batalla electoral en la región son las elecciones mexicanas, donde Chávez y García apoyan a López Obrador. 15 de junio - 22 de junio 2006 Page 5 NOTICIAS EN ESPANOL Grupo Zero continúa con la tradición de la Revolución Mexicana por John Kuebler Las melodiosas guitarras y las canciones en español se entremezclan con los gemidos de un motor diesel. Al mirar por la ventana, se ve a personas color café recorriendo el barrio, cantando y bailando. Alguien, haciendo sonar la bocina, proclama: “¡Abre los ojos! ¡Vamos al parque!” No es una escena de 1965 sino el verano del 2006, cuando Grupo Zero, los artistas callejeros más reconocidos de México, pasaron sobre cercas, ríos, desiertos, la Guardia Nacional y los milicianos de miniatura para invadir Denver. Y para entretenernos. Del 5 al 17 de junio, El Centro Su Teatro auspicia la presentación en Denver del Grupo Zero, que además se presentará en el Consulado de México, mostrando su arte y ofreciendo sus incomparables actuaciones al público local, gratuitamente y en los parques de los barrios latinos. Bajo la dirección del ilustre Lalo “El Guajolote” Lopez, Grupo Zero continúa con la tradición de la carpa para su teatro al aire libre. Las carpas ganaron popularidad en la época de la Revolución Mexicana, cuando los artistas allí actuaban para aliviar al público de las pesadas condiciones políticas. En las carpas, los artistas cantaban, bailaban, presentaban marionetas y hacían participar a la audiencia. En las carpas los artistas presentaban sus picardías, aunque no todos las entendiesen. Según Hugo Carbajal, de Su Teatro, cuando la carpa llegaba a una ciudad, los artistas hablaban con la gente para enterarse de los chismes locales, y luego se improvisaban escenas con respecto a la gente de esa ciudad. La gente se reía y a la vez se olvidaba un poco de su difícil situación. De la misma manera, el Teatro Chicano en Estados Unidos usaba las actuaciones para reflejar lo que sucedía en la audiencia, inspirando y educando a los espectadores, satirizando a los dirigentes políticos y mostrando la lucha de los menos privilegiados. La Carpa y el Teatro Chicano con el teatro de los trabajadores, o, como diría el visionario brasileño Augusto Boal, el Teatro de los Oprimidos. Según el autor y escritor Tony García, director de El Centro Su Teatro, el Grupo Zero tiene ese componente de análisis político, aunque no tan marcado. “El Teatro Chicano y la Carpa usan la comedia para compartir un mensaje serio”, djo Carbajal. “La audiencia aprecia el humor y escucha la predicación. La comedia los relaja, y uno les da duro con la verdad cuando tienen la guardia baja.” Garcia encuentra humor hasta en las verdaderas más duras. “Creo que los racistas son cómicos. Los políticos corruptos y belicosos son cómicos. El racismo y la guerra no lo son, pero las personas que los promueven son ridículamente cómicos”, comentó. “Hay mucha gente en este país que quiere que los mexicanos sean invisibles. Yo creo que los mexicanos deben ser más visibles, y las actuaciones de Grupo Zero ayudarán a ganar visibilidad”, agregó. La visita de Grupo Zero es parte de un programa internacional de intercambio cultural. Por ese programa. Su Teatro viajará a México en el 2007. “El pueblo siempre tuvo su teatro. Los indígenas se sentaban junto al fuego a actuar como en la caza o a burlarse de los españoles. Los trabajadores lo usaban para educarse y movilizarse. Grupo Zero es un grupo de teatro popular y nos alegra que esté en Denver”, sostuvo García. Grupo Zero actuará el 9 de junio en Swansea Park, 48th Ave. y Clayton St.; el 10 de junio en City Park, 17th Ave. y York St., el 16 de junio en West Bar Val Wood Park, Cedar St. y Tejon St. y el 17 de junio en Sloan’s Lake Park, 17th Ave. y Sheridan Blvd. Las actuaciones son gratis y comienzan a las 8:05pm.

El cáncer de próstata constituye el cáncer más común entre los hombres, ya que afecta a uno de cada seis hombres en el transcurso de su vida, dice el Dr. Yair Lotan, profesor auxiliar de urología. El historial familiar de cáncer de próstata es una de las mejores maneras de predecir la enfermedad, ya que se tiene el doble de riesgo si un miembro de la familia es afectado y aumenta de cinco a once veces más el riesgo si dos o tres parientes en primer grado son afectados, dice el Dr. Lotan. “Afortunadamente, el índice de curación de cáncer de próstata es alto si se detecta temprano,” dice el Dr. Lotan. Los hombres que tienen historial familiar de cáncer de próstata deben comenzar a examinarse anualmente mediante un examen rectal digital y una prueba de antígeno específico prostático (PSA por sus siglas en inglés) a la edad de 40 y deben compartir esta información con miembros de la familia, dice el Dr. Lotan. No permita que el rechazo a visitar un doctor o la negación de que pueda existir un problema ponga su vida en peligro. Cómo Vivir y Prosperar en los EE.UU. por Donna Poisl Yo nací en los Estados Unidos y me mude a Canadá en 1978. Yo tuve que aprender como obtener mi licencia de manejo, abrir una cuenta bancaria, obtener seguro (aseguranza) y todas las otras cosas que sabia que necesitaba. Yo fui muy afortunada porque los dos sistemas eran muy similares y el lenguaje era el mismo. En 1995, me mude de vuelta a los Estados Unidos y tuve que hacer todas las cosas otra vez. Pero otra vez, los sistemas eran similares y el lenguaje era el mismo y de nuevo, los sistemas y el idioma era los mísmos. Mientras v e n d í a aseguranza y propiedades entre 1996-2002, encontré a muchos inmigrantes que luchaban por triunfar y decidí escribir una guía para vivir en los Estados Unidos y para ayudar a estos nuevos residentes. Yo sé lo duro que fue para mí encontrar todo, me puedo imaginar por completo lo difícil que es para la gente de diferentes culturas y lenguajes. Este libro fue escrito para ayudarles con las cosas comunes y cotidianas que tiene que hacer y para ayudarles a obtener información, especialmente de las cosas que son necesarias aquí y que pueden ser nuevas para usted. Espero que este libro le ayude y le haga su vida más fácil y mucho más placentera en este país. ¡Bienvenido a los Estados Unidos! Puede que se haya acabado de mudar aquí o esté pensando en mudarse.

Estos articulos han sido escrito para ayudarle a encontrar las cosas cotidianas que necesite para poder adaptarse mejor a este país. Encontrará que muchas cosas que tiene que hacer aquí son hechas en forma diferente que en su país. Algunas son iguales, pero muchas no las son. Le daré información práctica y consejos para escoger un banco, obtener servicios o seguro médico, un vehículo, una tarjeta de crédito y mucho más. Cuando vaya a las oficinas de Servicio Social, bancos u otras oficinas, casi s i e m p r e encontrará folletos en inglés. Llévese uno para tenerlo en su casa, éste le dará la información local y los números de teléfonos de esas oficinas. Pregunte si tienen folletos en su idioma y, si tienen, tome los que necesite. Estos articulos le dará información general, direcciones, números de teléfonos y algunas direcciones de correo o páginas de Internet. Lo más importante es que le ayudará a encontrar la información precisa que necesite. Si solamente le dan la dirección de la página de Internet y no tiene computadora, puede usar la computadora de la biblioteca en forma gratuita. Algunas personas que estén leyendo estos articulos y buscando información estarán mejor instruidos que otros. Yo he tratado de hacerlo útil para todos. Por lo tanto, si algunas cosas son difíciles y otras muy fáciles, espero que siempre pueda obtener Donna Poisl información de su utilidad. Usualmente la parte más dura al aprender algo nuevo, es decidir dónde comenzar a buscar la información. Sea un Buen Vecino Hay un dicho antiguo que dice: “Cuando esté en Roma haz lo que los Romanos hacen”, lo que significa: haga las cosas de la manera que lo hace la gente local. Muchas veces cuando la gente se muda a un nuevo vecindario se comporta de la misma manera que en su último vecindario. Esto no siempre complace a sus nuevos vecinos. Si su último vecindario era en un país diferente, esto puede causar problemas más graves. Cuando las personas de países extranjeros se mudan a un nuevo vecindario en los Estados Unidos, a menudo se hacen comentarios negativos. Puede disminuir los conflictos con sus vecinos siguiendo unas pocas y sencillas reglas. Si usted es el que tiene la grama más nítida y la música más calmada, no habrá ninguna queja suya. Puede ser que sea puesto como un buen ejemplo para alguno de ellos, ya que no todos son los mejores vecinos. Muchas de las siguientes sugerencias fueron tomadas de un aviso en un complejo de condominios y son buenas en cualquier lugar: • Si ve basura alrededor de su vecindario recójala y póngala en el cesto de la basura, definitivamente conserve su jardín limpio. • Si tiene mascotas obtenga la licencia y manténgalos con su Continua página 16 correa. 15 de junio - 22 de junio 2006 Page 7 NOTICIAS EN ESPANOL Anormalidades benignas en la mama también deben ser consideradas como señal de riesgo No todos los nódulos en la mama son cancerosos. Incluso un cierto nivel de nódulos y áreas desiguales son normales para la mayoría de las mujeres. Sin embargo, estos nódulos benignos pueden colocar a algunas mujeres en una zona de mayor riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de mama. “Durante los años de edad reproductiva de la mujer, el tejido de la mama tiene la tendencia a desarrollar áreas desiguales en su textura. Estos nódulos, son llamamos cambios fibroquísticos de las mamas” dice Lisa Newman, directora del Centro del Cuidado de la Mama del Centro Integral de Cáncer de la Universidad de Michigan. La mama está formada por diferentes tipos de tejidos que son influenciados por las hormonas a través de los ciclos menstruales de la mujer. Estas fluctuaciones pueden causar la formación de distintos tipos de nódulos, tales como nódulos de tejidos benignos, llamados Adenomas Fibrosos o un quiste relleno con líquido. Estos, por lo general, pueden ser detectados durante el auto examen de mama. Es importante que un médico evalúe cualquier cambio, aunque Newman advierte que sólo entre un 5 y un 10 por ciento de las mamografías realizadas por cambios fibroquísticos requieren pruebas adicionales”. De todas las biopsias, solo un 15 por ciento terminan siendo cáncer. “La mayoría de las biopsias que necesitamos hacer por anomalías de mamografía, serán, de hecho, completamente benignas”, dice Newman. “Sin embargo, hay ciertos cambios en la mama, que descubrimos en evaluaciones microscópicas y señalan un mayor riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de mama en el futuro”. Estos cambios son inusuales—menos de un 10 por ciento de todas las biopsias de mama. Estas incluyen condiciones médicas como hiperplasia ductal atípica, hiperplasia lobular atípica o carcinoma lobular in situ. “Cuando encontramos estos modelos, o si una mujer sabe que los ha tenido en biopsias de mama anteriores, debe hablar con su medico para considerar tomar un fármaco para reducir el riesgo de cáncer de mama. Por ello, es muy importante que la paciente conozca exactamente que fue encontrado en el tejido de la mama en el informe patológico, incluso si su médico le ha dicho que es totalmente benigno”, dice Newman, profesora de cirugía en la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Michigan. Las mujeres con estos modelos anormales que también tienen una historia familiar de cáncer de mama, tienen aún mayor riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de mama. Gracias a las evaluaciones realizadas con mamografías, los médicos pueden descubrir cánceres de mama muy pequeños en sus estados iniciales antes de que crezcan hasta el punto de amenazar la vida. Todas las mujeres desde los 40 años deben tener una mamografía anual. Las mujeres que son evaluadas regularmente, tienen un 30 por ciento menos riesgo de morir de cáncer de mama comparado con las mujeres que no se hacen mamografías anuales. “Necesitamos aconsejar a las mujeres sobre las maneras adecuadas de realizar un auoexamen de mama. También debemos educar a la mujer sobre descubrimientos en la mama que son una señal de verdadero peligro para el cáncer de mama versus las simples nódulos e irregularidades en la mama”, dice Newman. “El mensaje básico es que mantenerse alerta sobre los cambios en el propio cuerpo es absolutamente esencial. Realizar un auto examen puede ser una maniobra muy útil. Si una mujer detecta cambios, debe de consultar a su medico”, señala Newman. Señales de enfermedad benigna en la mama: • Dolor o sensibilidad en ambas mamas. Algunas mujeres con cambios fibroquísticos no sienten dolor, pero detectan nódulos en la mama. • Nódulos en una o ambas mamas, una o dos semanas antes de iniciar el periodo menstrual. El dolor de mama se produce la mayoría de las veces en el área superior y externa de la mama. Tratamientos para enfermedad benigna de mama: • Fármacos antiinflamatorios sin esteroides, como ibuprofen, para aliviar la inflamación y dolor. • Cambios en la dieta, como reducir o eliminar la cafeína. • Modificaciones en la vestimenta, incluso usar sujetadores con buen soporte o cambiar el tipo de sujetador. • 1.000 miligramos de aceite de prímula, dos a tres veces al día.

Student loan borrowers qualify for Federal Loan Consolidation As one of the nation’s leading FFELP student loan consolidators, American Education Services (AES) encourages students, parents and graduates with either federal Stafford or PLUS loans to consider loan consolidation now, before interest rates increase on July 1, 2006. The federal Staf ford student loan interest rate will be increasing by almost two percent, costing borrowers thousands of dollars more in repayment. By locking-in the current low interest rates and consolidating before July, borrowers with a $25,000 loan can save an average of $5,580 in interest. “Students, par ents and graduates could effectively cut their monthly payments in half by consolidating their student loans,” said AES President and CEO Dick Willey . “With only one month before the expected two percent rate hike, we strongly encourage borrowers to take advantage of our consolidation counseling services to help determine which loan repayment option will benefit them.” Loan consolidation helps borrowers by locking-in a lower fixed rate and by making their repayment easier – either by lowering their monthly payments or by combining multiple payments into one. AES consolidation counselors work with the borrower on all debt management alternatives. Students, parents and graduates should review the potential impact of consolidation on their current loan benefits and on the total cost of their loan before consolidating. “Even with the rate hike on the horizon – students, parents and graduates should research and choose their lender wisely,” said Willey. Borr owers could save thousands of dollars more through an AES consolidation loan with an immediate interest rate reduction for automatic debit payments, an interest rate reduction for ontime payments, and AES’ exclusive Upromise program. The AES-Upromise program enables the borrower to pay down their consolidated loans by making everyday purchases from participating companies. To sign-up for free, visit <Upromise.com/AES> AES has recently enhanced its Website, making loan consolidation more convenient for borrowers. There is a FAQ section that addresses loan consolidation questions and an online application feature. Applicants who apply online can eSign their online application for quicker processing. Students, par ents and graduates who would like more information on loan consolidation and AES services should call (800) 338-5000, visit <aesSuccess.org> or email questions to <[email protected]> Opportunities in hotel and lodging industry Pikes Peak Workforce Center Offers Information Session on START Program The Pikes Peak Workforce Center (PPWFC) and the local hotel and lodging industry will be conducting an information session and interviews for the American Hotel & Lodging Skills, Tasks, and Results Training (START) on June 20th at the PPWFC main office. interés START, developed by the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute, is a curriculum that gives students the real-world knowledge and skills needed for a long-term career in the lodging industry.

Dominguez - nicknamed “Marigol” - made her debut with the Mexico Women’s National Team in 1999 and has scored 46 goals in 49 international appearances. She was Mexico’s top scorer at the Olympic Games, and was ranked in FIFA’s top 25 women players in the world for 2005. Also in 2005, she became the first woman to sign a professional contract with a Mexican men’s professional club Celaya. In 2003, Dominguez’s impact on the Atlanta Beat (WUSA) was instrumental to their appearance in the WUSA championship game. She finished 10th in the league in scoring, averaging 1 point per game. “I am excited to join one of the top women’s clubs in the world,” said Dominguez. “I have talked at length with my Mexico WNT and Barcelona teammate Paty Perez about FC Indiana, and that’s why it was an easy decision for me to make. Paty was with FC Indiana last season and told me that everything about the club was first class. With one year to go till the Women’s World Cup in China, I need to raise the level of my training and competition.” “As a coach, Maribel’s international experience will be invaluable to our young players and we will involve her in coaching right from the start,” said head coach Shek Borkowski. “As a player, Maribel has a very physical style and I like the fact that she plays with an edge. She has good speed, good moves and ability to put the ball in the net.” Tickets are now available for FC Indiana home-opening weekend when they host the Memphis Mercury on June 2nd at Goshen Soccer Park.

Boston Aztecs add Mexican Striker Sensation The Boston Aztecs of the East Conference of the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) made it official as they signed young Mexican striker sensation Myriam Del Pozo for the Summer 2006 season. Myriam is a native of Monterrey, Mexico where she has made headlines as a prolific scorer for the Monterrey Technological University. Myriam, who is now beginning to emerge on the international scene, is said to be following in the footsteps of two prolific international players from her native country - Paty Perez and Maribel Dominguez of the Mexican Women’s National Team. Del Pozo recently graduated from the Monterrey Te c h n o l o g i c a l University with a degree in Architecture, is a member of the Mexican WNT Pool and hopes to be named to the squad for the upcoming 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup being held in China. Myriam arrived in the US on Friday, June 9th with the hopes of increasing her international experience, and she is getting the opportunity to do just that with the Boston Aztecs of the WPSL. Head Coach Dushawne Simpson didn’t know what to expect from the young striker at first, but she quickly demonstrated why her peers and friends speak highly of her. “We were doing a finishing drill during a recent practice, and she (Myriam) just knows how to do it at a world class level,” said Simpson. The Boston Aztecs, who finished with a 3-9-1 record in their inaugural season, are now 2-0-1 in their first three games of the season, and with the addition of Del Pozo to the team their season record is sure to be filled with much success. “We want the club and the league to be as successful as possible, and bringing Myriam to the Boston Aztecs is definitely the right step to take to reach that success,” said Edgar de Leon, Dir. of Operations for the Boston Aztecs. “We are committed to bring the best possible talent to the club to show our community that women’s soccer is filled with talent and flavor.” For more information on the Boston Aztecs, including individual and season ticket sales, please visit the official website at <http:// www.aztecsoccer.com> UCCS announces 2006 men’s basketball recruiting class When Russ Caton took over as the new coach of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs men’s basketball team, the first order of business was to evaluate the team he had inherited. The second was to augment that core. Caton announced his inaugural recruiting class Thursday which included eight freshman and one junior college transfer. “The newcomers will fill the holes around a solid foundation of returning players,” said Caton. “Several of these players will be expected to come in and contribute immediately.” The immediate area of need was at point guard, a spot so glaringly deficient a season ago that interim coach Doug Schakel took to having power forward Patrick Hannaway bring the ball up the floor. Caton’s filled that void with Nic Fuller, a transfer from Otero Junior College. Unlike previous years when the UCCS roster was full of junior college transfers, the 5-foot-11 Fuller was the only JUCO among Caton’s signees. Also at point guard will be Ben Feilmeier, a 6-foot freshman from Colorado Springs’ Liberty High School. A three-time academic all-state honoree, Feilmeier averaged 14 points, 3.8 assists. 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game as a senior for the Lancers.

He found one of the best in Nick Taylor. Taylor was the player of the year in San Diego’s Grossmont South League after averaging 27.3 points per game for Granite Hills High School. He was also named first-team allDivision I for the San Diego area, which regularly produces dozens of NCAA Division I players each year. The 6-foot-2 guard led the San Diego section in 3-pointers made with 132, 51 better than the next best total. Another shooter added was Joe Scott, a 6-foot-4 swingman who averaged three 3-pointers per game as a senior at De La Salle High School in Minneapolis. Scott was named Class 3A all-state after averaging 17 points per game and leading his team to a state title. He also averaged six rebounds, four assists and three steals per game. With those needs addressed, Caton looked to the future. Hannaway and center Bly McGuire, the stars of the 200506 Mountain Lions, will both be entering their senior season. With that in mind, Caton added slasher Kyle Perkins and post man Eric Davis. Perkins, who averaged 21.9 points per game at Montezuma-Cortez High School, was named Class 4A honorable mention by the Rocky Mountain News. While his season rebounding statistics were not available, he averaged 7.1 boards over the first 10 games of the season when that stat was recorded. Davis put up impressive numbers at Skyline High School in Idaho Falls, Idaho, averaging 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. An allHigh Country Conference selection in both basketball and football, he made 66 percent of his field goal attempts and 86 percent of his free throws. Adding post depth will be another Colorado Springs player, Chris Mayerl, a 6-foot8 freshman from Palmer High School. Other recruits include: Jason Nye, a 6-foot-6 wing from Golden, and Aaron Cain, a 6-foot guard from Falcon.

Apparently they made inquiries and determined that Colorado Springs has the largest audience for its July 4th Philharmonic concert of any orchestra in Colorado or the surrounding states.

Chevy is looking for 200,000 plus mile trucks throughout Colorado. “It is no surprise to us that the 200,000 Mile Club’s enrollment has grown quickly. We have tapped into a very passionate group of owners – some, driving Chevy pick-ups with over a million miles,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet General Manager. “But it has become clear that there are stories behind every mile and our members are anxious to tell those tales.” On Monday, June 5, Chevrolet upgraded the the spirit of “most dependable” and “longest lasting.” These trucks and their owners will be acknowledged at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, TX, where the new 2007 Chevrolet Silverado will be unveiled. Last month, the Chevrolet division of General Motors announced a nationwide search for personally owned Silverado trucks with 200,000 miles or more to join the Silverado 200,000 Mile Club. Since then, <www.chevy.com/ 200k> has had over 5000 visitors. “Driving 200,000 miles is like driving your Silverado around the world eight times,” said Peper. “But we are after more than just mileage. This outreach celebrates Silverado’s legacy of quality and endurance and hopes to capture stories that show the integral role these trucks have played in American life – from our farms to our factories, from our countryside to our cities.” The Chevrolet Silverado is GM’s top selling vehicle and has earned a reputation for top-notch performance, dependability and quality. Chevy pick-up trucks were first built in 1918 and there are still millions on the road. Chevrolet is looking for personally owned, full-size Chevy pickup trucks with 200,000 miles or more to join the Silverado 200,000 Mile Club at <www.chevy.com/ 200k> (You may also call 1-800950-CHEV).

Now what? Replacing a damaged windshield is more than just a dollars-and-cents decision. According to a leading windshield manufacturer, your windshield not only helps protect you and your car ’s occupants from the elements, it also plays a major role in your safety. Here are some important points to remember: • The windshield is a key structural element of your car. • Proper adhesive selection is critical to installation and structural integrity. • Original equipment windshields meet federal safety standards. • The visual quality of original equipment windshields is first rate-not necessarily true for knock-off versions. • Knock-off windshields may not provide the same level of UV light protection, which could lead to accelerated fading of your vehicle’s upholstery and interior surfaces. The windshield engineers at Carlite(r) have some tips to keep in mind at windshield replacement time. Ask for an original equipment windshield and factory-quality adhesives/ sealants, installed by AGRSScertified professionals. Laws in some states require that your installer inform you when replacing your glass with a non-original part. Original equipment windshields fit best and maintain the structural integrity of your vehicle, which is critical in case of an accident. Original equipment windshields typically have better optical quality. Distortion affects the way the driver sees the road-and other cars. Windshield wipers are designed to work best with factory windshields which have designed-in curvatures. Knock-off windshields tend to have less curvature, which can result in flat spots where the wipers may skip or not clear the glass as effectively. Knock-off windshields sometimes are made with thinner glass that can allow more noise in, which is particularly irritating to owners of upscale automobiles who paid for, and expect, a quiet ride. Also, an improperly installed windshield could pop loose when the passenger air bag deploys, potentially reducing its ability to protect the passenger. So when that stone chip or crack shows up on your windshield, be sure to protect yourself, and all those who ride with you, by insisting on a brand-for-brand replacement windshield like Carlite branded windshields. It’s up to you to decide which kind of replacement windshield you want. For more information on replacing your damaged windshield, visit www.carlite.com. Motorcycle Helmets (NAPSA)-Americans have a healthy appetite for motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. Since 1996, sales have jumped 200 percent, putting more than 5 million motorcyclists on U.S. roads and trails today. Unfortunately, America’s r i d i n g habits are not as h e a l t h y. Motorcycle fatalities are rising as helmet u s e declines, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle crashes. Today, top-quality helmets are more affordable and accessible than ever before. Wal*Mart sells motorcycle helmets starting at under $50 made by Bell, inventor of the full-face motorcycle helmet. When shopping for a helmet, remember to look for the DOT sticker, which indicates that the helmet meets the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. More helmet tips, are available at www.bellmotogear.com. 15 de junio - 22 de junio 2006 Page 15 AUTOMUNDO NSRA Rocky Mountain Street Rod Nationals The 22nd NSRA Rocky Mountain Street Rod Nationals, named the Rocky Mountain area’s premier street rod show and street rod trade show, will be held at the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo.

Cómo Vivir y Prosperar de página 6 Cuando saque su animal a caminar, lleve una bolsa para recoger los deshechos. • Si alguno de sus vehículos no funciona y usted no lo va a componer, deshágase de él. Verifique en su contrato si quiere trabajar en el motor de un vehículo, puede que no esté permitido. • No escuche música a alto volumen. Recuerde que a todos no nos gusta la misma música, especialmente temprano en la mañana o tarde en la noche. Usted no quisiera que la policía lo visitara para pedirle que baje su música. • Averigüe si su vecindario tiene una asociación. Pregúnteles que puede hacer para ser un buen vecino. Atienda las reuniones del vecindario. Si todavía no habla la lengua muy bien, lleve consigo a alguien que sepa el idioma. Estas reuniones son un lugar bueno para conocer a sus vecinos también. • Los apartamentos y muchos vecindarios tienen espacios limitados en los estacionamientos para visitantes. Asegúrese de decirles a su familia y amigos donde pueden aparcar. Si los lugares están asignados, solamente use sus propios espacios. • Si tiene grama, consérvela nítidamente cortada y use el corta grama durante horas razonables, no temprano en la mañana antes que los vecinos se levanten. • Muchos complejos de apartamentos tienen facilidades para fiestas. Úselas. • Limpie después que use el espacio de la piscina, picnic y área de juegos. No deje la basura para que otros la recojan. • Sea cortés con sus vecinos. No bloquee el paso de sus vehículos así sea por pocos segundos. • Dígale a su familia o amigos que no suenen la corneta cuando lo vengan a recoger, aunque sea para ir al trabajo. Haga que se estacionen y toquen a la puerta o que usen el celular para llamarlo. • ¡Si tiene una fiesta, avíseles a sus vecinos e invítelos ! Es una gran oportunidad para conocerlos y para que ellos lo conozcan. Hay una buena posibilidad de que no vengan, pero por lo menos usted los invitó y ellos sabrán que va hacer ruido. Pregúnteles si el ruido es muy alto para poder bajar el volumen. Usted no quisiera que ellos se quejen con la policía. • Si hay cualquier tipo de clima severo es buena idea verificar con sus vecinos. Vea si tienen calefacción adecuada, aire acondicionado, comida, agua y todo lo que pueda ocasionar problemas en caso de que se vaya la luz, haya inundaciones, tormenta de nieve o algún otro suceso fuera de lo común.

Fortunately, a recent study indicates that more people with diabetes are making the link between diabetes and their increased risk for heart disease and stroke. According to a 2005 awareness survey conducted by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC), 45 percent of people with diabetes understand their increased risk for heart disease, which is up from 35 percent in 2001. Experts believe even more awareness is needed, however. The ADA and ACC continue to work together to share important information, tools and resources to encourage people with diabetes-and health care providers-to learn more about the impact of diabetes on the heart. Other findings from the 2005 ADA/ACC awareness survey show: • 69 percent know they may develop high blood pressure (38 percent in 2001). • 64 percent know they are at risk for cholesterol problems (37 percent in 2001). Importantly, more people with diabetes are talking to their health care providers about managing diabetes comprehensively: • 45 percent of people with diabetes now have a goal for blood glucose levels (30 percent in 2003). • 57 percent have a goal for blood pressure (34 percent in 2003). • 61 percent have a goal for cholesterol (34 percent in 2003).

Memorial’s Cancer Center is the only health care facility in the state of Colorado—one of just 62 sites nationwide—to offer this world-class technology for treating a wide range of cancers, including patients with multiple tumors and those disqualified from conventional radiation therapy. “Our goals is to win the war against cancer,” says Dr. Fred Robertson, CEO of the Wi s c o n s i n - b a s e d TomoTherapy, Inc. “We set out to integrate and simplify the radiation therapy process while improving accuracy. Traditional radiation therapies often require a patient to transfer between several different stations to receive treatment, which takes time. Our system enables clinicians to plan, verify and deliver treatment in one system. It can also reduce the chance of errors since all patient information is contained in one unit, along with reducing patient treatment time.” Key features of the TomoTherapy Hi-Art System: • 360-degree treatment delivery minimizing radiation Tips For Healthy Trips (NAPSA)-You may want the first person you tell about an upcoming vacation to be your insurance agent.

That means if you need a shot, you should try to get it well before your actual trip. Healthy Travels Pack prescription medication and basic over-the-counter medicine in your carry-on luggage-not in your checked bags. That way, if your checked bags get lost, it will just be an inconvenience and not an emergency. Also, make an effort to sample the local fare, but be certain to tell your waiter about any food allergies you may have before ordering.

Just know that not all hats block the sun’s rays equally well. Some are specifically designed and certified to offer maximum sun protection and some are not. For instance, hats made by Tilley Endurables are certified with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 50+ (the highest rating given). Tilley Mesh Hats are also equipped with new “3D” mesh fabric as well as Hydrofil(tm) Anti-Sweat Bands.

Radiation Oncologists Mark Hazuka and Jane Ridings manage all TomoTherapy cases at Memorial’s Cancer Center, in addition to providing physician consultations and referrals. “TomoTherapy is ideally suited for treatment of head and neck, brain and pediatric cancers—among others— where avoidance of uninvolved organs is highly critical,” says Dr. Ridings. “Prostate and pancreatic cancer patients also are prime candidates for TomoTherapy, because the targeted delivery system can adjust for unanticipated organ motion, unlike conventional radiotherapy. With TomoTherapy, we even have the capability to treat multiple brain metastases using image-guided IMRT.” Page 20 15 de junio - 22 de junio 2006 Call Now !

Page 22 15 de junio - 22 de junio 2006 COMMUNITY NEWS How to Live & Thrive in the US by Donna Poisl I was born and raised in the United States and moved to Canada in 1978. I had to find out how to get my driver license, open bank accounts, get insurance and all the other things I knew I needed. I was very fortunate because the two systems were similar and the language was the same. In 1995, I moved back to the United States and had to do all those things again. And again, the systems were similar and the language was the same. While selling insurance and real estate from 1996-2002, I met many immigrants who were struggling to succeed and I decided to write a guide to living in the US to help these new residents. I know how hard it was for me to find everything and can only imagine how difficult it is for people from entirely different cultures and different languages. This book was written to help you with the common, everyday things the things that are necessary here might be new to you. I hope this book helps you and makes your life in this country much easier and more enjoyable. Welcome to the United States! You might have just moved here or maybe you’re thinking Donna Poisl about moving here. You may have lived here several years and still struggle with some things. This book has been written to help you find the everyday things you need so you can fit into this country better. You’ll find that many things you have to do here are done differently than they’re done in your country. Some are the same, but many are not. I’ll give you some practical information and tips to help you choose a bank, get health care or medical insurance, get a car, a credit card and much more. Whenever you go to social services offices, banks and other offices, you will almost always find brochures in English. Take one to keep at home, it will give you the local information and telephone numbers for their office. Ask if they have brochures in your language and if they do, take one or two of these, too. These articles will give you general information, addresses and phone numbers and some website addresses. Most importantly, it will help you figure out where you can find the precise information you need. If I only give you a website address and you don’t have a computer, you can use the computer at your library with no charge. Some people reading these articles and looking for information will be very well educated, others won’t be. I have tried to make it useful for everyone. So if some things in it are too difficult or other things too easy, I hope you can get at least some information you can use. Often the hardest part of learning something new is figuring out where to start looking for information. Be a Good Neighbor There is an old saying “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, which simply means to do things the way the local people do them. Many times when people move into a new neighborhood, they behave the way they did in their last neighborhood and it doesn’t always please their new neighbors. When their last neighborhood was a different country, it might cause even bigger problems. When people from foreign countries move into a neighborhood in the US, negative comments are often made. You can minimize conflicts with your neighbors by following a few simple rules. If you are the one with the neatest yard and quietest music, there won’t be any complaints about you and maybe you will be setting a good example for some of them. They are not all the best neighbors either. Most of the following suggestions were taken from a notice at a condo/townhouse/ apartment complex and are good anywhere: • If you see trash around your neighborhood, pick it up and put it in the waste basket. Definitely keep your own yard clean. • If you have pets, get them licensed and keep them on a leash. When taking your pets for a walk, carry a trash bag to pick up their droppings. • If one of your cars is not working, and you aren’t going to fix it – get rid of it. Check your lease or association agreement, working on the engine of a car in your driveway might not be allowed. • Don’t play your music very loud. Remember, we don’t all like the same music, especially early in the morning or late at night. You don’t want a visit from the police telling you to turn down your music. • Find out if your neighborhood has an association. Ask them what you can do to be a good neighbor. Attend neighborhood meetings. If you don’t speak the language very well yet, get someone who does to go with you. These meetings are a good place to meet your neighbors, too. • Apartments and many neighborhoods have limited parking spaces for visitors. Make sure you let your family and friends know where they can park. If parking spaces are assigned, only use your own space. • If you have a lawn, keep it neatly cut and use the mower during reasonable hours – not early in the morning before neighbors are awake. • Most apartment complexes have facilities for parties. Use them. • Clean up after you use the open spaces (swimming pool, picnic, playground) in your area. Don’t leave your trash for others to pick up. • Be courteous to your neighbors. Do not block their cars in, even if you’re only going in for a few seconds. • Tell your family and friends not to honk their horn when they come to pick you up for a function or work. Have them park the car and knock on the door or use their cell phone and call you. • If you are having a party, tell your neighbors and invite them ! It’s a great opportunity to meet them and for them to meet you. Chances are good that they won’t join you, but at least you asked and it lets them know that you will be making noise. Ask them to tell you if the noise is too loud and you will be quieter. You don’t want them complaining to the police. • If there is any kind of severe weather, check on your neighbors. See if they have adequate heat, air conditioning, food, water – all the things that can be a problem if the electricity goes out or if there is flooding or snowstorms or something else out of the ordinary.
