The Cardinals found something they have never had in Arizona

R-E-S-P-E-C-T BY BEN VILLA UWN Sports Writer

There are terrible franchises and then there are the Arizona Cardinals. A team synonymous with losing, the Cardinals have been so bad for so long that the last time they won a championship, they were still playing in Chicago and Harry Truman was President. However, this past Sunday on a sunny afternoon in Tampa Bay, something unexpected happened. They almost won. The Cardinals took on the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers and all their tradition in the Super Bowl and just like most people thought, when the fourth quarter rolled around, they were losing big. Arizona was down 20-7 in the fourth quarter and when the rout was seemingly on, suddenly the unthinkable took place. The Cardinals didn’t fold. No, instead of wilting under the pressure of all the Vince Lombardi trophies the Steelers have and with all the prognosticators laughing in their faces, the Cardinals fought back. They rose from the ashes like a ﬁery Phoenix (no pun intended), mounted a comeback and with just under three minutes left, they took a 23-20 lead when Kurt Warner hit Larry Fitzgerald on a 64-yard touchdown pass. However, destiny wasn’t on their side as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger mounted a late drive and threw a touchdown pass to Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes, giving Pittsburgh their sixth Super Bowl title. Final score, Steelers 27, Cardinals 23. In the aftermath, while everybody was celebrating in the steel town, the Cardinals found something they have never had in Arizona. Respect. They never quit against the Steelers when they certainly had every reason to and everybody thought they were. They didn’t give in; they pulled themselves up oﬀ the mat

Immigration Detention Reform Crisis Moves to Front Burner ROBERTO LOVATO NAM Commentary

Guantanamo Bay isn’t the only prison crisis that President Barack Obama will have to deal with. There’s another crisis growing - in the many immigration detention centers carpeting the interior of the country. acymakers because the combination of immigration

and prison reform is politically lethal, calls for major restructuring of the immigration detention system may soon become unavoidable. The death of German immigrant Guido Newbrough in a Virginia detention center has again pushed the issue to the front burner, helped along by incessant calls for

a familiar scene in college classrooms: students who are 25 years of age or older. Nontraditional students, as they are known, have become one of the fastest-growing demographic segments in higher education. In 1970, 2.4 million students age 25 and older were enrolled in degree-granting institutions, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). By the year 2000, nontraditional students represented 6 million-43 percent of American undergraduates. By 2012, adult enrollment for this age group is projected to increase to more than 6.7 million. This means that more than half of the student population will be over the age of 25. “The value of a higher education is indisputable,” says Martha Holler, spokesperson for Sallie Mae, the nation’s

More Adults Returning To College

leading saving-and-paying-for-college company. “Students of all ages realize the benefits of higher education, and higher education institutions are experiencing greater demand as a result.” There is a myriad of reasons for the rise in nontraditional students. Some are first-timers, attending college at a later stage in life; others are returning to the classroom to improve their skills set and thereby their earnings potential in the workplace. Still others are retirees, using their newfound free time to prepare for a new business venture or simply to take advantage of lifelong learning. The influx of nontraditional students creates a number of special challenges for both schools and older students. Adult student learners typically have unique needs that their younger counterparts do not. Many must balance school with a full-time job and family, and they are often unprepared and out of practice for the rigors of college life. To help these students, many

schools have created programs and services tailored to meet the unique needs of the over-25 college student, including online curriculums, on-site childcare, classes that are held during nights and weekends, life experience credit offerings, organized study groups, even carpooling services. Sallie Mae’s College Answer Web site at www.collegeanswer.com provides several tools and resources geared to nontraditional students, including tips on balancing work and family with school; payment options and financial aid resources; a free scholarship search to locate awards, scholarships and grants specifically for adult learners; guidance on the skills and degrees most sought after by employers; salary information; self-assessment tests on personality traits, interests and skills to determine which career path might work best for you and more. “For students of any age, a college education is the best investment of your life,” adds Holler.

Can Obama Stave Off Another Great Depression? JERRY SULLIVAN Commentary New America Media The coverage of President Barack Obama’s first days in office managed to overlook a historical comparison that is worthy of consideration. Obama took office just a few months after a stock market crash that left no doubt about the turbulent state of our economy. The ensuing decline has been swift and scary, leading some to talk about a possible fall into an outright depression. Now consider Herbert Hoover, the president who took office just a few months before a stock market crash that signaled the Great Depression in 1929. Hoover remains a figure of historical disfavor to this day because of what he did—and didn’t do—after the crash. He served nearly four years in the Oval Office as the Great Depression raged, continuing to

view government’s role in the economy as largely limited. He oﬀered no enormous economic stimulus plans or social programs. Clusters of tent cities occupied by the dispossessed of our land became known as “Hoovervilles.” Then came Franklin Roosevelt, who immediately put enormous economic stimulus plans into action and launched a host of social programs. Timing can be everything— in politics, economic matters, and life in general. Our timing might be just right with Obama because our economy’s nosedive came about a month before the presidential election. Obama came to the job at a moment when he has a chance to move on our problems before they settle into another Great Depression. What if Roosevelt had gotten a shot a few months after the stock market crash in 1929, instead of nearly four years into the mess?

Here’s another historical comparison worth noting: Hoover won election as a Republican in 1928 in part because of widespread prejudice against Roman Catholics, a sentiment that worked against New York Governor Al Smith, who ran as the Democratic nominee in the race. There’s true irony in this piece of history, because Smith had recognized the shaky nature of the economy well before the crash that signaled the start of the Great Depression. The actions he took in New York during the 1920s could be viewed as a state version of what would become Roosevelt’s famous New Deal package of economic stimulus and social programs. Bigotry ravaged Smith’s campaign, though. He might not have won in any case, but the anti-Catholic emotions that took wing in large parts of the populace, media and other parts of the power structure left him without a ﬁghting chance.

Smith’s loss spelled a wait of nearly four years before the federal government became fully engaged in putting its might against the Great Depression. It was just a few months ago that Americans could have again allowed prejudice—this time against African Americans— to override a presidential campaign. That might have led to another slow response to an economic crisis. It’s not a perfect comparison to match recent Republican nominee John McCain to Hoover, but the Arizona Senator has long favored smaller government, which is nowhere near what we saw from Roosevelt or are seeing from Obama. Now here’s the hard part of this history lesson: There’s still plenty of debate among scholars and economists on whether Roosevelt’s massive government programs worked. The New Deal brought immediate relief to millions in dire straits, an invaluable record in its own right.

But there is data to indicate that the programs ultimately failed to put the economy back on track. Indeed, the Great Depression didn’t really end until World War II led factories and farms to crank up production. Some would argue that the New Deal amounted to shortterm fixes that did more harm than good over the long haul. That leaves us to wonder whether the current plans to spend $700 billion to bail out banks and automakers—and hundreds of billions more on roads and bridges—will bring improvements that make such outlays worthwhile. The effort will be made sooner rather than later, though, and that’s because Americans didn’t hold a fellow back from the highest office in the land based on prejudice this time around. That’s real progress—even if it’s the only progress we can claim for certain as we fight through our tough economy.

administration. He and other critics of the system see the root of Newbrough’s death and a host of other problems –death from medical neglect, denial of habeas corpus and other basic legal rights, lack of sanitation, food and other basic necessities, violent and abusive guards, to name a few- in the exponential growth of the immigrant detainee population. It has tripled since 1996, according to ICE records. Demands for a radical restructuring of the detention and deportation system have become the main message on the placards, press statements and posters of a growing galaxy of older and new advocacy groups outside the Beltway. Groups like the Detention Watch Network, an umbrella organization made up of immigrant detention advocates from across the country, report rapid growth in membership and actions since the failure of immigration reform unleashed an unprecedented regime of raids and incarceration targeting immigrants. Fueled by what groups like Virginia’s People United, a multi-issue activist organization, are calling the “humanitarian crisis” in immigrant detention, Velazquez and others’ increasingly vociferous calls for changes to the detention system have also created a political crisis for supporters of the more legalization-centered approach to immigration reform favored by backers of some version of the McCain-Kennedy bill of 20062007 which was also supported

gave rise not just to exponential increases in the numbers of ICE raids (an average of 11 per day); it also gave long-ignored detention reform ﬂank of the immigrant rights movement more motivated troops and unprecedented resources - more than a dozen reports on detention issues are expected in coming months. Many new detention reform groups have arisen and established groups like People United have placed immigrant detention near the center of their agenda in the last two years thanks to the constant stream of sad and often bizarre detention stories. “I just spoke with a man being held in the jail where Mr. Newbrough died,” said Jeﬀ Winder, a regional organizer with People United. “The man told me that they’re cutting even more servic-

that prison they’re cutting heat, toilet paper, food and other basic services. He even told me that there are 30 lights on the ceiling but that only 5 are turned on. People are crowding under lights just to read.” Winder also pointed to several recent events – a hostage situation in Texas, hunger strikes across the country, legal victories for detainees claiming they were physically and psychologically abused, other deaths in detention – as examples of the “scandal in immigrant detention we see every week.” The steady stream of bad detention news is forcing Winder and other activists to ﬁnd balance in the optimism mirrored by the Obama moment. “There’s a real mood of hope in the country. The end of the horrible abuses

adding, “But I’m waiting to see what President Obama will do about creating really viable alternatives to detention.” Asked about the alternatives, Winder cited a 1998 government-funded study by the Vera Institute of Justice. The study found that, with a battery of community services costing less than $12 per person per day (versus the national average of $120 per day for people in immigration detention centers) the government could drastically reduce the numbers of people in immigrant detention facilities. “Reducing the number of people is important,” said Winder. “But the more important question President Obama will have to answer why we have so many people rotting in immigrant prisons in the ﬁrst place.”

change from advocates like Gil Velazquez. “I went through that system. I was there. I could have died too,” says Velazquez upon hearing of Newbrough’s death. Velazquez, a recently released immigrant detainee from Oaxaca, Mexico who now lives in Richmond, Virginia, is looking for action from Washington. “I wish I could speak to Mr. Obama. I would tell him ‘They (immigration authorities) jail so many people and they don’t know what they’re doing. They have no right to let people die,’” said Velazquez. His mobility and work possibilities are limited by the big black ankle bracelet that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is forcing him to wear until his hearing in June. He cannot leave his sister’s apartment in the evenings. But Velazquez does not let his undocumented status limit his freedom. “I want him (Obama) to know that we should be building schools and hospitals, things that help people, not these prisons,” the very soft-spoken Velazquez declared in his most strident cadence as he took a break from folding ﬂyers for a protest to halt the construction of another immigrant detention center in Farmville, where Newborough died.

What is Faith? The New Jim Crow: Sham Trials the Norm for Mexicans in Arizona Responding D R. C INTLI R ODRIGUEZ , New America Media “Arizona resembles the deep South of the pre-civil rights era,” Pima County Legal Defender Isabel Garcia asserts. “Here, you can kill a Mexican and impunity reigns.” To drive her point home, Garcia invites me to Tucson’s federal court to witness “Operation Streamline” ﬁrsthand. This operation, begun in January 2008, consists of “show trials” during which 70 migrants are paraded before a judge and in less than one hour, and virtually all are found guilty (three cases were dismissed the day I was there) of illegally entering the country. They were also charged with felonies, but these were summarily dismissed to ensure conviction of the lesser charge. Most got between 30 and 180 days. The courtroom was essentially divided or segregated by phenotype and appearance. There was not one lightskinned defendant. All of the defendants were dark, short, simply dressed and handcuﬀed. They were chained around their waists, wrists and ankles. Some limped. Everyone else was in suits. All of this creates an aura of something other than a judicial proceeding. The only words the defendants uttered were “presente,” “si,” “no,” and “culpable” or “guilty.” After being sentenced, one defendant, while being escorted out, shot a volley of questions to his court-appointed lawyer. His lawyer patted him on the back and told him everything would be all right. These 10 seconds are what seem to pass for legal counsel. Every day, of the 1,000 migrants apprehended by immigration agents in Arizona, 70 are “randomly” selected and processed like cattle through Tucson’s federal court. The objective is to criminalize these migrants and have them spend time in the private Corrections Corporation of America (CCA),

thereby serving as a disincentive for other would-be migrants. It’s a very sweet deal for the CCA – it receives $11 million per month from the federal government. It’s difficult to characterize this as other than a for-profit scam because it actually does nothing to address the problems associated with Mexico-U.S. migration. It’s difficult to imagine that such a fraudulent and tax-wasting “operation” can continue into the Obama adminis-

Just because they are illegal does not mean they should be subjected to racial profiling and inhumane treatment, if its happening to them now later on it could happen to all of us if we don’t speak up.. “In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up tration. Aside from the obvious – that the federal government is flat broke and can no longer afford sweetheart contracts for private prisons – the practice of criminalizing migrants appears to contravene all international covenants regulating the movement of human beings. These daily sham trials are possible only since 9/11. President Bush has pushed policies on the basis of fear. This has permitted politicians, bureau-

crats and talk show extremists to conﬂate migration with drug smuggling and terrorism. Of course, none of the defendants were charged with any of these crimes. These sham trials are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. In the past few years, Arizona voters have passed several propositions that restrict the human and due process rights of migrants. This is part of a larger dehumanizing climate. Since the mid-1990s, Derechos Humanos – a human rights organization cofounded by Garcia – has tallied more than 5,000 deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border, attributable to death from exhaustion, dehydration or drowning. Most of these are preventable, as federal policies have intentionally funneled these migrants into the inhospitable Arizona Sonora desert. Incidentally, immigration authorities tout the operation as a means to stop the deaths. Some are hoping that with Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano heading the Department of Homeland Security, things should be better along the border. Nationally, she has cultivated an image of moderation. Yet Garcia – who recently received the Lannan Cultural Freedom Award – notes that this image is pure public relations: Napolitano has always emphasized a law enforcement (militarization and the National Guard) approach to immigration. Her departure, however, may indeed see things turn for the worse because the state will now be ﬁrmly in the control of the Republican Party – a party that nowadays is virtually synonymous with virulent anti-immigration policies. For those who understand immigration to be an economic and human rights issue, a humane solution may be forthcoming from Obama’s Labor Department, slated to be headed by California Congresswoman Hilda Solis. It is not a guarantee, but it should be a radical departure from the current administration’s sham policies.

Finding The Right Home For Your Budget BY JOHN ADDISON No matter what state the housing market is in, homebuyers would be smart to remember a simple tip: Experts say not to spend more than two and a half times your income on a house. Sticking to that rule can help keep your mortgage payments affordable and keep you from being “house poor.” Here are a few additional tips for finding a home that you can afford: • Keep An Eye Out For ARMSAdjustable-Rate Mortgages, or ARMS, have monthly payments that could eventually adjust with the market. Unless you definitely plan to move in just a few years, look for fixed-rate loans in which the interest rate is set for the life of the loan. • Beware Of Interest Only-In-

terest-only loans are ticking time bombs of debt. Why? You pay only the interest on the loan and not the principal. • Avoid Debt-Being able to borrow money isn’t the same as being able to aﬀord it. Before you buy a house, remember additional expenses that could be tacked on to mortgage payments-things such as property taxes, utilities, maintenance and homeowner’s insurance costs. Protecting Your Investment Once you purchase a home, take steps to protect the investment with the right insurance. Kiplinger’s says life insurance is a must for homeowners. It recommends buying inexpensive term policies. But you might be able to cut insurance costs further by combining all your policies-life, auto and home-under one company.

Remember to shop around, too. Insurance rates can vary from company to company, so it could be worth your while to see what’s out there before making a purchasing decision. The Web is a great resource for comparison shopping, with some sites even giving you several quotes from diﬀerent insurance companies at once. Finally, whether you own a home or are shopping for one, it’s important to understand how to take control of your ﬁnancial life.

to God with faith

Trust

When we realize that God has all power to do anything he wants, and that he always uses it for the good of humanity, then we can have absolute confidence that we are in good hands. He has both the ability and the stated purpose of working all things, including even our rebellion, hatred and betrayal against him and one another, toward our salvation. He is completely trustworthy—worthy of our trust. When we are in the midst of trials, sickness, suffering and even dying, we can be confident that God is still with us, that he cares for us, that he has everything under control. It may not look like it, and we certainly do not feel in control, but we can be confident that God isn’t caught off guard. He can and does redeem any situation, any misfortune, for our good. We need never doubt God’s love for us. “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us” (1 John 3:16). The God who did not spare his own Son can be counted on to give us through his Son everything we need for eternal happiness. God did not send somebody else: The Son of God, essential to the Godhead, became human so that he could die for us and rise again for us (Hebrews 2:14). We were redeemed not by the blood of animals, not by the blood of a very good man, but by the blood of the God who became human. Every time we take communion, we are reminded of the extent of his love for us. We can be confident that he loves us. He has earned our trust. “God is faithful,” Paul tells us. “He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear” (1 Corinthians 10:13). “The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3). Even “if we are faithless, he will remain faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13). He is not going to change his mind about wanting us, about calling us, about being merciful to us. “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23). He has made a commitment to us, a covenant with us, to redeem us, to give us eternal life, to love us forever. He will not be without us. He is trustworthy, but how do we respond to him? Do we worry? Do we struggle to be worthy of his love? Or do we trust him? We need never doubt God’s power. This is shown in the resurrection of Jesus from death. This is the God who has power over death itself, power over all the beings he created, power over all other powers (Colossians 2:15). He triumphed over all things through the cross, and this is demonstrated through his resurrection. Death could not hold him, for he is the author of life (Acts 3:15).

Cubrir a los 47 millones de estadounidenses sin seguro El tema doméstico más importante en las elecciones del 2008 fue la cobertura médica, y la falta de la misma. Cifras recientes del U.S. Census Bureau (Buró del Censo de EE.UU.) indican que hoy en día 47 millones de estadounidenses no tienen cobertura médica. ¿Cuáles son las soluciones que se ofrecen? ¿Y los que carecen seguro médico, cómo pueden obtenerlo? • Las soluciones propuestas Los estadounidenses sin seguro presentan un desafío que los candidatos presidenciales no puedieron ignorar. Y como los empleadores pagan cada vez menos por el seguro médico de sus empleados, los candidatos sabian que ésta es una cuestión que afecta incluso a quienes tienen cobertura. En el Partido Demócrata, Barack Obama propuso reformas que hacen que el seguro médico sea universal y asequible mediante reglamentos gubernamentales. Sin embargo, conservan la función tradicional de las compañías de seguro. • Las opciones actuales Algo que generalmente se pasa por alto en los debates sobre la cobertura médica es el sorprendentemente dinámico mercado que existe en muchos estados, donde se puede adquirir seguros médicos individuales. “La verdad es que hoy muchísimas personas sin seguro pueden adquirir cobertura médica asequible”, remarca Bruce Telkamp, vicepresidente ejecutivo de eHealthInsurance.com. Ahora que el candidato escogido por Obama para ser el lider de el Departamento de Salud a renunciado a su elegimiento por haber evadido pagar impuesto, el presidente tiene que hallar a otra persona caliﬁcada inmediatamente mientras reﬁna sus planes para la reforma del sistema de cobertura médica. Muchos de los 47 millones de estadounidenses sin seguro tendran que esperar para obtener la cobertura médica asequible que necesitan. Si necesita ayuda inmediata talvez ouede haber un programa disponible para algunos recipeintes. Para mayor información, visite www.eHealthInsurance.com.

En Arizona Indocumentados Que Son Arrestados son Tratados sin Derechos DR. CINTLI RODRIGUEZ, New America Media “Arizona se asemeja a el Sur antes de la era de los Derechos Civiles,” aﬁrma Isabel Garcia, Defensora del Defensora Legal del Condado de Pima. “Aquí, se puede matar a un mexicano y la impunidad reina.” Para conducir hacer su punto, García me invito a la corte federal de Tucson para presenciar la “Operación ‘Streamline’ (Hacerlo Facil) “ de primera mano. Esta operación, que comenzó en enero de 2008, se compone de “juicios”, durante los cuales 70 inmigrantes son desﬁlados ante un juez y en menos de una hora, y prácticamente todos, son declarados culpables (tres casos fueron tirados afuera el día que yo estuve allí), los casos eran de entrar ilegalmente el país. Ellos también fueron acusados de delitos graves, pero estos fueron quitados para asegurar una conviccion en la condena de la menor. La mayoría obtuvieron entre 30 y 180 días en la carcel. La sala se divide esencialmente o segregados por fenotipo y la apariencia. No había ningun acuzado de piel blanca. Todos los acusados fueron morenos, chaparros, vestido sencillamente y esposado. Ellos estaban encadenados alrededor de sus cinturas, las muñecas y los tobillos. Algunos cojeaban. Las demas personas en la corte estaban bestidos de traje. Todo esto crea un aura de algo más que un proceso judicial. Las unicas palabras pronunciadas los acusados eran

“presente”, “si”, “no”, y “guilty” o “culpable”. Después de ser condenado, un acusado, al ser siendo escortado fuera de la corte, disparó una salva de preguntas a su abogado designado por el tribunal . Su abogado le acarició en la espalda y le dijo que todo estaría bien. Estos 10 segundos son lo que parecen pasar por una representacion de abogado en esta corte. Todos los días, de los 1000 migrantes detenidos por agentes de inmigración en Arizona, 70 son “al azar” seleccionado como ganado y procesados a través del tribunal federal de Tucson. El objetivo es criminalizar a los migrantes y estos tienen que

pasar tiempo en el sector privado de la Corporación Correccional de América (CCA), este tiempo en la prision actúa como un desincentivo para otros aspirantes a ser emigrantes a este pais. Es un negocio muy dulce para la CCA - que recibe $11 millones por mes del gobierno federal. Es difícil caracterizar esto como que no sea un fraude con ﬁnes de lucro, porque realmente no se hace nada para resolver los problemas relacionados con la migracion entre Mexico-Estados Unidos. Es difícil imaginar que tal fraude ﬁscal y la pérdida “operación” puede seguir en la administración de Obama.

Aparte de lo obvio - que el gobierno federal es plano rompió y ya no puede permitirse contratos de amigos para lod duenõs las cárceles privadas - la práctica de la criminalización de los migrantes parece contraducir todos los pactos internacionales que regulan la circulación de los seres humanos. Estos ensayos simulados diaramente sólo son posibles desde el 9/11. El presidente Bush impulso políticas a base del miedo. Esto ha permitido a los políticos, los burócratas y los comentaritas de pensamiento extremo confunden a la immigración con el tráﬁco

Como Seleccionar la Universidad Correcta

a primera prueba que enfrentan los estudiantes es la de decidir a que universidades solicitar. Existen unas 3.800 universidades en los Estados Unidos y no es sencillo enfocar la selección en unas 4 a 8 instituciones. Los expertos aconsejan que los estudiantes se concentren en las universidades que sienten que les acomodan mejor, mas que en los ránkings o en donde

Todos Creados a la Inmagen de Dios GENESIS. 1:27 – Y creó Dios al hombre a su imagen, a imagen de Dios lo creó; varón y hembra los creó.

PASTOR A DALBERTO MONTOYA UWN Escritor Contribuidor El hombre por naturaleza es un ser espiritual, y a traves de las edades ha buscado adorar, ya que ese ha sido el propósito por el cual hemos sido creados adoremos al verdadero Dios y a Jesucristo su hijo quien vino a salvarnos y hacernos participes de su Reino Celestial. ¡Gloria a Dios en las alturas, y en la tierra paz, y buena voluntad para con los hombres ¡ En medio de cualquier necesidad o diﬁcultad por grande que sea recordemos que tenemos esperanza en ese ser supremo hacedor de todo lo que existe, y que antes de que le pidamos El sabe de que tenemos necesidad, conﬁemos y creamos en sus promesas porque El dijo: nunca te dejare, nunca te desamparare, con el estaré yo en la angustia me invocara y yo le responderé, yo soy tu Dios que te esfuerzo y te sostiene de tu mano derecha y te dice no temas yo estoy con tigo no desmayes porque yo soy tu Dios siempre te ayudare, siempre te sustentare. Recuerde amable lector que hemos sido creados, no nos hemos hecho nosotros a nosotros mismos, pueblo suyo somos y ovejas de su prado Dios nos ama con grande amor. Muchas bendiciones para usted

MIGRACION, PAG . 7 guridad, las cosas deberían de drogas y el terrorismo. Por supuesto, ninguno de los demandados fueron acusados de ninguno de estos delitos. Estos es solamente la punta de la montanã de hielo que se asoma sobre la superﬁcie. En los últimos años, los habitantes que votan en Arizona han pasado leyes que les quitan los derechos humanos y las leyes que protegen a los indocumentados. Esto es parte de un clima que le quita la humanidad a los immigrantes. Desde mediados de los noventas, Derechos Humanos - una organización de derechos humanos co-fundada por García - se anotó más de 5000 muertos a lo largo de la frontera MexicoEstados Unidos, debido a la muerte por agotamiento, deshidratación o ahogamiento. La mayoría de estas muertes pudieron ser evitadas, como las políticas federales intencionalmente canalizan estos inmigrantes en el inhóspito desierto de Sonora de Arizona. Por cierto, las autoridades de inmigración dicen que la operación es como un medio para detener la muerte de los que quieren cruzar ilegalmente. Algunos tienen la esperanza como la Gobernadora de Arizona Janet Napolitano va a ser la jefa del De-

estar mejor a lo largo de la frontera. A nivel nacional, ella ha cultivado la imagen de moderación. Sin embargo, García - quien recientemente recibió el Premio de Libertad de la Cultura Lannan - toma nota de que esta es la imagen pura de relaciones públicas: Napolitano, ha insistido siempre en una aplicación de la ley de inmigración usando la militarización de la frontera y cuidada por la Guardia Nacional. La partida de Napolitano de su posicion de Governadora, sin embargo, puede ver las cosas de mal en peor, porque el Estado estara firmemente en el control del Partido Republicano - un partido que hoy en día es prácticamente sinónimo de violencia oposicion contra la política de inmigración que allude a los indocumentados Para aquellos que entienden la inmigración económica es una cuestión de derechos humanos y, una solución humana ouede venir por parte de Obama y su Departamento de Trabajo, programada para ser encabezada por la congresista Hilda Solís de California.

El pollo frito preparado para las fiestas que se celebran en el parqueo de los estadios de futbol americano utilice el sabor antiguo del suero de la leche para afirmar los sabores del pollo y asombrar incluso a las papilas más exigentes. Luego, le da a la suculenta carne un toque moderno con pimienta de cayena. El aceite de maní agrega un sabor robusto y a nuez e intensifica la textura crujiente del empanado. Además sella la humedad del pollo. Este alto punto de humo del aceite le permite freír a temperaturas más altas para obtener platos crujientes, livianos y hermosos que nunca son grasosos o tienen grumos.

Screening can detect precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into colorectal cancer. Screening also can find colorectal cancer early, when the chance for a full recovery is very high.

If you’re 50 or older, talk to your doctor and get screened for colorectal cancer.

Minorities at Risk as Flu Season Approaches KENNETH KIM NAM Writer Treating influenza as an inevitable or a trivial consequence of winter could be a deadly mistake, officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned at an ethnic media roundtable it sponsored in Los Angeles. An estimated 36,000 people die from influenza each year in the United States, and more than 200,000 people need to be hospitalized from serious flu-related complications. “The reason people die from the flu is it can cause mild to severe flu-related complications which at times can lead to death,” said Captain Ray Strikas of the National Vaccination Program Office, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Flu is spread by virus-infected droplets, coughed or sneezed into the air. Victims develop fever, headache, muscle ache and fatigue. ethnic media briefingCDC Ethnic Media Briefing in Los Angeles on Influenza. The event was part of an aggressive campaign mounted by the CDC to get as many people as possible vaccinated,

especially those in ethnic communities. The Los Angeles roundtable was one of four the CDC held over a three-week period. The other roundtables were held in Washington, D.C., New York and New Orleans. All four events, hosted by New America Media, drew a large number of ethnic media journalists and local health officials. Dr. Laurene Mascola, chief of Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s Acute Communicable Disease Control, said that the most common misconception about the flu is that it’s not a serious illness. Although influenza doesn’t discriminate, the age groups hardest hit by it are people over 65, and children ages 6 months to 19 years. It’s especially important for people who are 65 years and older, as well as those with chronic health problems, to get a flu shot because they tend to have already compromised immune systems, and getting the flu can lead to complications, said CDC officials. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year before the beginning of the flu season, which usually begins in De-

cember and peaks in January and February, doctors told the ethnic media. Flu vaccinations are available in two types, the flu shot and the nasal-spray flu vaccine. Even though getting an annual flu shot could save lives, the public is complacent about the potentially serious complications of influenza. There are also racial and ethnic disparities in vaccination rates. One common misconception about the flu, presenters noted, is that you could get the flu from getting a flu shot. That can’t happen because the vaccine itself is derived from a “dead” virus. Presenters said that overall, the vaccination rate among the elderly population is relatively high, but minorities lag behind that of their white counterparts. In 2006, 67 percent of whites age 65 and older reported receiving the flu vaccine, compared to 47 percent of older African Americans and 45 percent of older Hispanics. The rate among Asian Americans is similar to that of whites, 67 percent. “In 2007, influenza was one of top leading causes of Hispanic deaths in the country, ranking number nine on

Ann Rivera of the CDC making a presentation

the list,” said Ana L. Rivera, a public health advisor and project officer responsible for CDC outreach to Hispanic communities. According to Rivera, 5,000 Hispanics could potentially die annually, and 30,000 individuals and 20,000 children under the age of 5 could be hospitalized because of influenza related conditions. The “economic burden” caused by the virus each year is close to $87 billion in lost work hours, according to Josefina Carboneli, assistant secretary for aging with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at the New York City briefing. She noted that elderly Lati-

nos are the hardest hit by influenza, and they have the highest incidence of diabetes and heart disease of any ethnic group. A recent study by the American Heart Association shows that influenza-related death is more common among people with heart disease than with any other chronic condition. Local governments offer free flu shots to low-income families and those who qualify regardless of immigration status. For general information, contact the CDC at 800-2324636. NAM health editor Viji Sundaram contributed to this report.

There’s No Place Like ‘Close ADVERTISE To’ Home... Adventures FAMILY FEATURES Travel doesn’t always have to be exotic. While journeys to faraway locales have their place, for most of us, balancing affordability with convenience and the chance to spend quality time with our families is the real bottom line. In fact, sometimes the most surprising experiences can be right around the corner. Experiencing our home turf like a tourist can open up all kinds of possibilities. Here are a few ways to sneak in that winter getaway without breaking your budget. • Be a big city tourist. Pick a city within easy driving distance and visit with a fresh eye. When was the last time you toured the Liberty Bell, sailed around the Statue of Liberty or took in the view from the top of the St. Louis Gateway Arch? It’s fun to be a tourist, and if you stay in the city center, many popular attractions will be within walking distance. • Off-season hotel packages offer great deals in winter. Offpeak prices make even upscale lodging affordable. Ask about special rates, packages and incentives such as free in-room movies, breakfast and coupons for in-hotel dining. Radisson’s Bed

Discover small town America. Another way to explore the local landscape, taking a road trip to a nearby small town offers a dose of down home charm, family attractions and genuine hospitality.

& Breakfast Family Package, for instance, includes a Sleep Number bed guestroom along with breakfast for a family of four. • Get pampered close to home. If a destination spa isn’t in the cards, full service hotels sometimes offer spa or salon services along with fitness centers, indoor pools and whirlpools to give your body and spirit a lift. • Consult the concierge. If you’re not familiar with a destination and want to get the most out of a short getaway, your hotel concierge can offer timesaving advice on attractions, dining, kid-friendly entertainment and more. Or, in advance, do some online research. Hotel brands like Radisson Hotels & Resorts partner with websites

like www.10Best.com to note a city’s best sights, restaurants, clubs and shops. • Cash in your points. If you’re a member of a hotel rewards program, when was the last time you cashed in on the benefits of your membership? Programs typically offer points redeemable for free hotel nights, airline miles, prepaid cards and more. The goldpoints plusSM program from Carlson Hotels Worldwide was recently enhanced, now offering up to double the earning potential and redemption at nearly 1,000 hotels and resorts around the globe.

He a d i n g into Thursday’s tilt with the Boston Celtics, the Lakers are 39-9 overall, in first place in the Pacific Division and currently riding a four-game winning streak behind league MVP Kobe Bryant, who by the way, scored 61 points on Monday against the New York Knicks and 36 on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Funny thing though, for all of their greatness, the Lakers have a hard time beating the Charlotte Bobcats. In fact, they can’t beat them at all. Last week, the Bobcats beat the Lakers 117-110 in double overtime. It was their third straight win at Staples Center and it was the fifth time in the last six games they came away victorious. And the Lakers had no excuses. Kobe was his usual great self, scoring 38 points and a then healthy Andrew Bynum scored 24 points to go along with 14 rebounds. The win ran Charlotte’s re-

cord to a very pedestrian 19-29. Right about now, you might be asking yourself why we’re even bringing this up. It is a seemingly odd topic for around these parts, but this past Monday, the Utah Jazz did something the Lakers could not. They beat the Bobcats. Yes, without arguably three of there best players (Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko) who were all inactive with various injuries, the Jazz went out and destroyed Charlotte 105-86 to run their record to 27-22. So what did this prove? Are the Jazz better than the Lakers? No, they’re not. The NBA season is a long and grueling one and anybody can beat anybody during an 82-game schedule. But it did prove the Jazz are a good team, good enough to overcome obstacles to their best players and still beat a team that was good enough just nights before to beat one of the favorites to win it all. But the real question is, are the Jazz good enough? Good enough to make the playoﬀs? Sure. Good enough to make a serious run at the ﬁnals? Hardly. For all of the grit and depth they showed against Charlotte, the fact still remains the Jazz are in ninth place in the Western Conference, 12 1⁄2 games behind the Lakers and six games behind Denver in the Northwest

Division. siderably better this year.

you have to take that chance, don’t you have to roll that dice. Wouldn’t it be nice to be relevant again? And wouldn’t a threesome of Boozer, Williams and O’Neal look pretty good in blue and they would still have Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur (provided they’re not part of the trade). Without Shaq, the Jazz are simply a nice team in the regular-season but one that’s not great enough of getting them into June. But with him, they suddenly become a force and it’s not hard to imagine them pushing the Lakers, Spurs or Charlotte to seven games in the Western Conference Finals. Now you might be asking yourself, why would the Suns make this trade. The answer is simple. The Suns know they’re not going to win anything with Shaq in town other than a seat on the couch come NBA Finals time and Shaq’s contract ends at the end of next year. Isn’t it better to get something for the big Aristotle than nothing? Of course it is. And that’s where the Jazz step in. Sure, they can waddle around, make the playoﬀs and have another quick exit. Or they can gamble on something big, make a splash and hope to catch lighting in a bottle. Of course, there’s no guarantee that will happen if Shaq does end up here but I can guarantee one thing, nothing will happen around here in May and June if he doesn’t.

The Cardinals Found Something... SUPER BOWL, FROM PAG . 1 and nearly staged one of the biggest upsets of all time. And now, looking back on it, what does all of this mean. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing. You see, for all of the heart Warner showed, for all for grit Fitzgerald displayed, for all of the moxy that Cardinals head Coach Ken Whisenhunt had during the season, there is still one underlining fact that can’t escape us all. The Cardinals are still losers. Yes, they played hard, yes, they showed courage, but what do they have to show for it? Nothing, that’s what. The New York Yankees don’t hang American League pennants, the UCLA Bruins basketball team doesn’t hang Final Four banners, and the Cardinals shouldn’t celebrate this loss. They didn’t come to the Su-

per Bowl to come in second. They came to win and nothing else. That’s harsh but in professional sports, that the way it is and there is no getting around that. The Cardinals haven’t won a championship since 1947 and today, that still hasn’t changed. The only rings they are going to be wearing are NFC championship rings, much smaller and far less gaudy than the ones the Steelers will be sporting next year. It pains me to write this because the Cardinals were such a great story leading up to the Super Bowl, but if you don’t win the big game, then what truly have you accomplished?. In the Super Bowl, there are no moral victories. Not when you were 35 seconds away from being champions of the entire world. . And there’s no guarantees they’ll ever sniﬀ a Super Bowl again, much less get to one and win it. In the Super Bowl’s 43-

year history, they had never even got close and for all of their accomplishments in 2008, which there were many, Western Division Champions, NFC Champions, they ultimately fell short of their one and only goal. Today they are a nice story, but tomorrow, they’ll be forgotten. Does anybody remember whom the Phillies beat in the World Series last year? Does anybody even care? It was the Tampa Bay Rays. A nice rags to riches story but in the end, they came up short and does anybody expect them to be back competing in the American League East against the likes of the super rich Yankees and Boston Red Sox? The Cardinals, like many teams in the past like the Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks had their 15 minutes of the fame and they all blew it. The goal of every major sporting franchise should be to win a championship. If it’s not, then what are they still do-

ing in the business? C’mon, ask yourself, when the Utah Jazz reached the NBA Finals, was anybody happy losing the Chicago Bulls, even if Michael Jordan was on the team? I would hope not because in this country, that’s not our mentality. The Buﬀalo Bills went to four straight Super Bowls in the 1990’s and lost them all. Nobody celebrates them. They’re not looked upon as champions because simply they’re not. Winning a title is hard; just ask the Chicago Cubs. They haven’t won anything in such a long time; most of us have forgotten when they did win. That’s why winning a championship is so precious. It’s so hard to do. When you get to the ﬁnal game, you have to seize the moment. You have to win. That’s why it’s so special. Not everybody can do it. Not everybody has.

Mind you, this shouldn’t take anything from what the Cardinals did this year. By all accounts, they brought pride to the desert; they’re probably ahead of schedule and figure to be competitive for years to come. They should even make the playoffs again next year but they had their chance at history and they came up short. It was theirs for the taking and their defense let them down. One stop, one sack or one interception and they would be world champions today. They would be immortals. But they are not. Instead, they’re the NFL’s second best team in 2008 and that’s simply not good enough because 20-years from now when these Cardinals look on their hands where championship rings should be, there will be nothing but an empty space and a void that can never be filled. Not even with a moral victory.

Housing Prices Will Continue to Fall, Especially in California The latest house price data indicates no respite in the continuing price declines, especially where the declines have been the most severe. But no place has seen the devastation that has occurred in California. As median house prices climbed to an unheard-of level – 10 or more times median household incomes – a sense of euphoria developed among many purchasers, analysts and business reporters who deluded themselves into believing that metaphysics or some such cause would propel prices into a more remote orbit. Yet gravity still held. A longterm supply of owned housing for a large population cannot be sustained at prices people cannot aﬀord. Since World War II, median house prices in the United States have tended to be 3.0 times or less median household incomes. This fact should have been kept in mind before – and now as well. By abandoning this standard, California’s coastal markets skidded towards disaster. Just over the past year, house prices in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and San Jose metropolitan areas have

declined at more than three times the greatest national annual loss rate during the Great Depression as reported by economist Robert Schiller. But the re-entry into earthly prices is just beginning. In the four coastal markets, the Median Multiple has plummeted since our third quarter 2008 data just reported in our 5th An-

nual Demographia International Housing Aﬀordability Survey. The most recent data from the California Association of Realtors would suggest that the Median Multiple has fallen from 8.0 to 6.7 in San Francisco, in just three months. In San Jose, the drop has been from 7.4 to 6.3. Los Angeles has fallen from 7.2 to 6.2 and San Diego has slipped from 5.9 to 5.2. Yet history suggests that there is a good distance yet

to go. California’s prices will have to fall much further, particularly along the coast. Due largely to restrictive land use policies, California house prices had risen to well above the national Median Multiple by the early 1990s, an association identiﬁed by Dartmouth’s William Fischel. During the last trough, after the early 1990s bubble and before the 2000s bubble, the Median Multiple in the four coastal California markets fell to between 4.0 and 4.5. It would not be surprising for those levels to be seen again before there is price stability. Using this standard, I expect median house prices could fall another $150,000 to $200,000 in the San Francisco and San Jose metropolitan areas. The Los Angeles area could see another $100,000 to $125,000 drop, while the San Diego area could be in store for a further decline of $50,000 to $75,000. Is there anything that can stop this? Yes there is – the government. This is the same force that caused much of the problem at the onset. Now with the passage of Senate Bill 375 and an over-zealous state Attorney General more intent on engaging in a misconceived anti-greenhouse gas jihad, it may become all but impossible to build the single-

Building A Better College Application When it comes to the college admissions process, welltraveled students might have a world of advantage. That’s the word from education experts who say college applicants with international travel experience gain additional consideration over other students with similar academic credentials. “Grades are just one factor college admissions oﬃcers look at when assessing applicants,” explains Debra Latta, Principal, State College Area High School, State College, Pa. “They’re also looking for well-rounded students who are involved, socially aware and who show potential to succeed in life. That’s where international travel comes in.” Latta recommends People to People Student Ambassador Programs, which provide international educational op-

portunities to 5th through 12th grade students. The journeys offer handson cultural experiences, unique behind-the-scenes access to fascinating people and places, and amazing outdoor adventures. Whether they find themselves rappelling down castle walls in Scotland, visiting Anne Frank’s house in Amsterdam or meeting world leaders, student ambassadors broaden their horizons while learning what it means to be a global citizen. In addition, students can earn transferable high school and college credit through the program. Latta offers these additional tips for impressing the admissions committee: • Be an Early Bird: Get involved in school activities, your community and cause-related global initiatives as soon as pos-

sible. • Flex Your Passport Muscle: Participate in an international journey and promote and describe the experiences in college essays. • Get Behind a Cause: Find a social issue that you are passionate about and get behind it. • Leave Your Backyard: Don’t turn your back on academic opportunities across the country or across the world. • Spring Break to Colleges: Start visiting colleges on your junior year spring break. • Power in Numbers: Apply to more schools (experts recommend eight to 10) to keep a range of colleges open and to evaluate the best scholarship options.

family homes that, according to a Public Policy Institute of California survey, are preferred by more than 80% of California. Instead we may see ever more dense housing adjacent to new transit stops – exactly the kind of housing that has flooded the market in recent years. Many of these units, once meant for sale, have been turned into rentals. Many others lay empty. In the short run, however, even Jerry Brown’s lunacy will have limited impact. The continuing recession will continue to reduce prices even though the supply remains steady. The surplus of dense condominium units will expand the swelling inventory of rentals, as prices continue to drop towards a 4.0 to 4.5 Median Multiple or below. The one place which may benefit from this will be some of the less glamorous inland markets, that are suddenly becoming far more affordable. Sacramento earns the honor of being the first major metropolitan area to reach a Median Multiple of 3.0, as a result of continuing declines. RiversideSan Bernardino is close behind, and should be in this territory within the next year. But many other overpriced markets have yet to experience this kind of pain. Prime can-

didates for big reductions include New York, Miami, Portland (Oregon), Boston and Seattle. These areas may not have suﬀered the extreme disequilibrium seen in California, but their prices have soared. As the economies of these regions – New York and Portland in particular – begin to unravel, prices will certainly fall, perhaps precipitously. This may not make Manhattan or Portland’s Pearl District aﬀordable for the middle class but could drive prices to reasonable levels in the outer boroughs, Long Island or the Portland suburbs. This may be a disaster for the speculators, architects, developers and some local governments, but for many middle class families it may seem like the dawning of a new age of reason.
