¡Tinta con Sabor!
WASHINGTON (AP):Republicans ruled theWhite House and Con-gress in 2005, but a poxdescended on both theirhouses through a stagger-ing series of investigations,indictments, and politicalmissteps.
The vice president’schief of staff was indictedand resigned in a specialprosecutor’s inquiry of theouting of a CIA operative,a long-running probe thatraised doubts about the fateof other senior WhiteHouse officials. The Housemajority leader steppeddown after his indictmentin Texas on conspiracy al-legations in a campaignscheme. The Senate ma-jority leader faced a fed-eral investigation of hisstock transactions.
And then there is thewar in Iraq.
Shadowing the legaldramas and Capitol Hillmaneuvering was a pro-longed conflict that sur-passed the sobering mile-stone of 2,000 Americanskilled, claimed billions inU.S. dollars, undercutPresident George W.Bush’s standing and ex-acerbated the partisan di-visions.
Still, Bush promised anunwavering commitmentto the unpopular war.“Most Americans wanttwo things in Iraq,” hesaid. “They want to seeour troops win and theywant to see our troopscome home as soon aspossible. And those aremy goals as well. I willsettle for nothing less thancomplete victory.”
Bush and congressionalRepublican leaders startthe 2006 election yearhobbled by a sense of un-ease in the nation—two-thirds say the country isheaded in the wrong di-
WASHINGTON (AP):Más de 10 millones deinmigrantes indocu-mentados recibirán enEstados Unidos el año 2006con la esperanza de que elCongreso emprenderá unareforma de las leyes deinmigración y laincertidumbre de lo que serásu propio destino en losmeses siguientes.
Por lo menos cincoproyectos están ya sobre lamesa como cartas de discretoaugurio que niegan laposibilidad de la salida fácilde una amnistía e incluso laresidencia legal, como sefacilitó en la reforma de hace20 años. Todos tienen encomún el fin de aprovecharla mano de obra barata querepresenta un trabajadorextranjero no calificado.
México, el país que tienemás interés en el cambio, haexpresado su preocupaciónpor la poca apertura hacia lasolución definitiva de loscasos de por lo menos 4millones de mexicanos queviven y trabajan ilegalmenteen Estados Unidos, yencuentra incluso trampas dedeportación en algunaspropuestas.
Los proyectos delegislación parecen estardestinados a satisfacer aaquellos que resistiéndose ala presencia de losinmigrantes no dejan deadmitir que su trabajo esnecesario para cubrir laboresque los estadounidenses nodesean hacer.
Sobre esa base, la mayoríade los proyectos plantea dara los inmigrantes una
permanencia conautorización laboral,mayormente de tres años, ysalida de Estados Unidoshasta que sea llamado porotro periodo más. Cumplidoel segundo turno, adiós.
A fines de noviembre, elpresidente George W. Bushha estado promoviendo suplan de trabajadorestemporales en visitas a variosestados de la frontera conMéxico. Pero, más que a esostrabajadores su tiempoestuvo más bien dedicado aestrategias de fortificaciónde la frontera y a evitar quedesesperados residentestomen la justicia en suspropias manos con ladetención, y a vecesmaltrato, de losindocumentados.
Esa ha sido lacaracterística del discurso engeneral en la nación en ma-teria de inmigración desdelos atentados terroristas enNueva York y Washingtonen 2001. Estados Unidos,país creado por inmigrantes,se ha ganado desde entoncesla imagen ante el mundo depaís antiinmigrante.
El cambio puedepercibirse hasta en laretórica del propioPresidente.
En el año 2000, cuandoera todavía gobernadorrepublicano y estaba encampaña presidencialtratando de atraer votanteshispanos que históricamentehan simpatizado por elPartido Demócrata, Bushhabló de unión familiar ypadres y madrestrabajadores.
“Los valores de familiano se detienen en el ríoGrande”, dijo el 30 deoctubre de ese añorefiriéndose al río fronterizocon México. “La gente vienea Estados Unidos porquemadres y padres tratan dealimentar a sus hijos. Estosnuevos estadounidensesdeben ser tratados conrespeto por el gobierno enWashington. Algunas veces,sin embargo, la policíatransmite un mensajediferente. Mi gobiernoreformará el sistemahaciéndola meritoria de unanación de inmigrantes”.
Pero, el 28 de noviembrede 2005, promoviendo suplan de temporalidad en eltrabajo para los inmigrantesy controles fronterizos másseveros, Bush cambió y dijo:
“Bajo las actuales leyes, elgobierno federal estáobligado a liberar a quienescruzan ilegalmente nuestrafrontera si sus países de origenno los reclaman en undeterminado tiempo. La leyes inconsecuente cuando setrata de poner orden en lafrontera. Y debe ser cambiada.Entre los que estamosobligados a liberar figuranasesinos, violadores, peder-astas y otros criminales”.
En una encuesta deldiario The Washington Posty la cadena de televisiónABC, el 54% desaprobó laforma en que Bush estabamanejando el tema de lainmigración, y el 61% dijoque los inmigrantes deberíantener una oportunidad paraconservar sus empleos ysolicitar su residencia legal.
rection in the most recent AP-Ipsos poll—that threatenstheir legislative agenda andperhaps their political sur-vival.
“My colleagues are get-ting nervous,” Sen. JohnMcCain, a Republican fromArizona, said recently. “Wetalk a lot about thepresident’s unfavorable rat-ings. Have you noticed theratings of Congress lately?”
Republicans have con-trolled the House since 1995,the Senate for most of thattime and the White Housesince 2001, and their woesgive hope to out-of-powerDemocrats looking ahead tonext November’s elections.
The configuration of theelection map and the oft-re-peated argument that theDemocrats lack a clear-cutagenda reduce the chancesof the Republican party los-ing its grip on the House andSenate.
But the party appears fi-nally to have found its voiceon Iraq and come more intune with dispirited publicopinion as the rationale forthe war has unraveled andthe insurgency claims scoresmore lives by the week, push-ing the U.S. death toll past2,100.
Bush did bolster his stand-ing with quick Senate ap-proval of his choice for chiefjustice, John Roberts, andreceived high marks from theRepublican conservativebase for his nomination ofSamuel Alito to replace Jus-tice Sandra Day O’Connor.
Still, Democrats see anopening based on a combi-nation of the Republicans’self-inflicted wounds andoutside problems that havebuffeted the Republicans.
The devastation of Hurri-cane Katrina and theadministration’s slow-footed response made theBush administration look ill-prepared for a crisis. Thepresident’s and Republican-controlled Congress’ efforts
to keep alive a brain-deadFlorida woman unnervedsome U.S.-Americans waryof government intrusion intheir private lives.
Rising energy costs andcharges of cronyism, firstwith former FEMA directorMichael Brown and laterwith Bush’s failed nomina-tion of White House Coun-sel Harriet Miers for the Su-preme Court, took a toll onthe president’s reputation.
By November, just 37percent in an AP-Ipsos pollapproved of the job Bushwas doing, the lowest levelof his presidency in thissurvey.
Just a year earlier, Bushhad secured a second termwith more than 62 millionvotes and talked aboutspending his “politicalcapital” on an ambitiousagenda that included over-hauling Social Security.
Last week, newspaperreports that Bush had au-thorized the National Secu-rity Agency to conduct do-mestic eavesdropping sanscourt order but with pos-sible violations of federallaw, further added to thewoes of the administration.
But despite protestsfrom both Republicansand Democrats, Bush, ina speech Sunday, said hewould continue to sanc-tion such domestic wire-taps and surveillancewithout Court scrutinyand approval.
This revelation fol-lowed on the tail of dis-closures of secret prisonsin Europe and rendition,conducted by the CIA.

CONTEPEC, México(AP): After a decade of suf-fering the blows of free tradeunder NAFTA, deregulationand competition, the small-plot corn farmers of the roll-ing hills of México’s west-ern Michoacan state haveseen the future—and it oftenlooks disturbingly like thepast.
Free trade advocatesgathered in Hong Kong forthe World Trade Organiza-tion summit last week arguedthat opening agriculturalmarkets benefit poor pro-ducers by giving them ac-cess to foreign markets.
But for many farmershere, it has often meant los-ing their land or their liveli-hoods.
Villages that bloomedduring the 1930s land re-form are becoming emptyagain, as farmers leave tofind work in the UnitedStates. Others have retreatedto still more primitive formsof farming, or sold out towealthy landowners.
“I think a lot of us aren’tgoing to survive,” farmer JoelZaldivar, 46, said as he con-templated the dry landscapeafter the local harvest of asingle corn crop of the year.“You just can’t go on losingmoney for so long.”
While the tiny, margin-ally productive farm plotshere have been in trouble for
CARACAS (AP): Ven-ezuelan President HugoChávez blamed the UnitedStates, European Union,and other industrializedcountries for stalling worldtrade talks, accusing themof shamelessly trying toexploit poorer nations.
“We poor countries en-counter (trade) barriersfour times higher thanricher countries ... andthat’s because the rules thatthe rich have imposed onworld trade are a shame-less, open and deafeningimmorality,” Chávez saidDec. 15 after a World TradeOrganization (WTO) meet-ing in Hong Kong endedits second day in a dead-lock.
The leftist Venezuelanleader is one of the region’sfiercest critics of trade lib-eralization policies, sayingthey are designed to keepdeveloping nations impov-erished. He recently helped
decades, their plight of manywas worsened by the 1994North American Free TradeAgreement (NAFTA), whichcut tariffs on U.S. govern-ment-subsidized corn, allow-ing it to pour into the country.
In 2008, the last limits onU.S. corn will be lifted underNAFTA rules. The trade pactdoesn’t regulate the gener-ous U.S. farm subsidies. Re-searchers say some U.S. cropsare being sold here at beloweven their already-advanta-geous U.S. production price.
That combination—subsi-dies and advantages of scaleat larger U.S. farms—has ledto millions of dollars in lostincome for Mexican farmers,and the loss of over two mil-lion farm jobs since 1993.
“We can’t compete withthem (U.S.-American farm-ers),” Zaldivar says, whofarms seven hectares (15acres) here in the township ofContepec, about 110 kilome-ters (70 miles) west of MéxicoCity. “They have better con-ditions, more technology,more access to credit.”
Government support pro-grams aimed at helping theMexican farmers adjust tofree trade—a per-acre sub-sidy and a price support pro-gram—are also set to expirein 2008.
The situation illustrates whyin current WTO talks on agricul-tural trade, developing nationsare so insistent that rich nationscut their farm subsidies. The U.S.and EU have proposed reduc-tions, but poorer nations say theyaren’t enough.
Meanwhile, faced with afree-market price for theircrops that barely covers thecost of hybrid seeds, fuel andfertilizer, many Mexican cornfarmers are now retreatinginto practices of the past, likeplanting poor-yielding nativecorn seed that can be sownyear after year.
“It doesn’t yield as much,but you can save seed fromthe last harvest,” Zaldivarnoted as he thumbed a driedear of native “blue’’ corn.New hybrid seeds must bebought each year.
México’s farm policy inthe past decade has been fo-cused on helping farmers be-come more competitive, saidAna Graciela Aguilar, the di-rector of government farmsupport programs.
But of the approximately10.5 million farmers and farmworkers in México in 1993,only 7.7 million were left adecade later, somethingAguilar compares to the tran-sitions from rural to urbansocieties that have occurredaround the world.
Meanwhile, many com-munal farmers given deeds—and the right to sell theirland—in the 1990s, are sell-ing out to people from nearbycities who have begun buy-ing up local properties asweekend retreats or duderanches. Some dress up as18th-century cowboys,known as “charros,” said lo-cal landowner Mayolo delMazo.
“Agriculture here is aquestion of bare survival,’’
stall a U.S.-backed pro-posal to create a hemi-sphere-wide free trade areain the Americas.
The WTO meeting of149 nations was meant toproduce an outline for afinal agreement on cuttingtrade barriers in agricul-ture, manufacturing andservices. But an impasseover how much to cut richcountries’ farm aid, whichdeveloping nations saylimit their agricultural ex-ports to wealthy markets,threatens to torpedo theentire trade negotiations.
“The United States, theGroup of Eight (industrial-ized nations) and the Euro-pean Union—what they dois increase barriers on in-ternational trade, while de-manding we eliminate bar-riers,” Chávez said duringa ceremony at MirafloresPalace.
The six-day WTO meet-ing closed Sunday.
Del Mazo said. “I hope moredevelopers come here to in-vest ... to buy farms and givethese people some jobs.’’
Del Mazo bought an an-cient 188-hectare (465 acres)hacienda and turned it into ahotel, golf course and resort.He provides jobs for about300 people, mainly the sonsand daughters of local farm-ers.
In Contepec, so many menhave left to work in theUnited States—often as un-documented migrants—thatlocal activists like HectorMona have helped set up anall-women carpentry work-shop, turning out doors andwindow frames.
“People think that carpen-try is men’s work, but theydo it very well,” Mona said.
Ignacio MartínezJiménez, who farms 6.5 hect-ares (14 acres) of alfalfa andcorn near Contepec, says hisrelatives are already in theUnited States, and ask himfrequently when he will jointhem.
“I’m going to try to stick itout here,” said MartínezJiménez, who is leading ef-forts to build storage facili-ties and a tortilla bakery toget local farmers a betterprice for their corn. Still, sev-eral members of his 25-mem-ber farm cooperative havedropped out in recent years,forced to seek other work.
“The landowners are com-ing in and buying up farms,’’he said, “so that people fromthe city can come out andplay golf.”

LANSING, MI (AP): Ina raucous meetingdrowned out by protest-ers, the state election boarddeadlocked Wednesdayover whether to put a pro-posed ban on some affir-mative action programs onthe November ballot—de-spite a court order to do so.
Dozens of opponentsshouted as the four-mem-ber Board of State Can-vassers voted. Two Repub-licans voted to put the ini-tiative on the ballot, oneDemocrat voted againstand another Democrat didnot vote; the measureneeded three votes to pass.
Earlier, the meetingwas temporarily ad-journed and police werecalled in. As the boardwas preparing to vote, agroup of high school stu-dents had moved towardthe front of the room,chanting, “They say JimCrow, we say hell no!”
and knocking over a table.Lansing police said a 17-
year-old girl was arrestedoutside the building for dis-orderly conduct related tothe disruption.
The ballot proposal wouldban race and gender prefer-ences in government hiringand university admissions.Its supporters had gone tocourt to force the board toput the measure on the No-vember 2006 ballot after thepanel deadlocked over thesummer.
Last week, the MichiganCourt of Appeals repeatedan order that the electionsboard put the proposal onthe ballot. Late Wednesday,the Michigan Civil RightsInitiative, which is sponsor-ing the proposal, filed a mo-tion seeking a contempt or-der against the board’s twoDemocratic members, andasked that the court orderthe secretary of state to putthe proposal on the ballot.
The court also could putthe measure on the ballotitself. Opponents of theinitiative, however, havesaid they plan to appeallast week’s ruling to thestate Supreme Court.
Opponents of the mea-sure claim some blackpeople were tricked intosigning the petition, think-ing it would protect affir-mative action programs.The Michigan Civil RightsInitiative denies the alle-gations.
The elections board isobligated to certify the pe-titions, the appeals courtsaid, because there is nodispute that the form ofthe petitions is proper andthat the group collectedenough signatures tomake the ballot.

WASHINGTON (AP):Ohio’s top-ranking Demo-crat in the U.S. House saysshe is considering a runfor governor.
Marcy Kaptur, the rank-ing Democrat on the HouseAppropriations Commit-tee, said union groups haveurged her to run againstfellow Rep. Ted Stricklandfor the party’s nomination.She said she had been qui-etly weighing her optionsbecause nobody had askedher about her plans before.
“I am considering it, butthe seniority I own hereand the causes I championwould be put at risk byrunning in Ohio, particu-larly at a time when a state-wide campaign in a bigstate requires more moneythan I can ever imagine,’’Kaptur told The Associ-ated Press in an interviewin her office last week.
Strickland, of Lisbon,said he would prefer toavoid a primary and savehis money for the generalelection, but acknowledgedit can help with statewidename recognition.
For now, Kaptur is seek-ing a 13th term representingToledo and communitiesalong the western half of thestate’s Lake Erie shoreline.She had about $800,000 inher war chest on Sept. 30,according to her latest fil-ings with the Federal Elec-tion Commission.
Kaptur says she promisedlong ago not to take moneyfrom energy industry groups,something she said puts herat a stark disadvantage in astatewide campaign.
Strickland’s gubernato-rial campaign raised morethan $1 million by mid-yearand, in addition, his congres-sional campaign has receivedmore than $100,000 in con-tributions through Sept. 30,with nearly $500,000 onhand.
“I feel very comfortablewith the kinds of relation-ships I’ve tried to have withenergy producers, transmit-ters and consumers,”Strickland said. “I respect thedecision the congresswomanmade for herself, but I didn’tsee the need” to reject con-tributions from energy com-panies.
Energy groups, includingcorporate political commit-tees for Entergy Corp., Exelon
Corp., Cinergy Corp., andDuke Energy, have con-tributed $18,000 this yearto Strickland’s congres-sional campaign. He alsohas received $37,500 fromlabor groups.
Columbus MayorMichael Coleman with-drew from the race lastmonth, leaving Stricklandand former state Rep. BryanFlannery of Lakewood asthe only Democrats seek-ing the nomination.
Republicans in the raceinclude: Secretary of StateKenneth Blackwell, Audi-tor Betty Montgomery, At-torney General Jim Petro,and Cleveland general con-tractor Pete Draganic.
Republican Gov. BobTaft cannot run again nextyear because of term limits.

En un ambiente decalurosa amistad, quecontrasta con la crisis que enenero surgió entre ambosmandatarios por la capturaen Caracas de un jefeguerrillero, los dospresidentes secomprometieron a nointervenir en los asuntosinternos del otro.
Uribe reveló que fueconfirmada la denuncia deChávez sobre unaconspiración de militaresvenezolanos que buscaronrefugio en Colombiadespués del fugaz golpe deestado, con el fin de intentarderrocarlo nuevamente, yque para tal efecto sereunieron en Bogotá conmilitares colombianos.

Uribe reveló que Chávezayudó a trasladar a Cuba allíder guerrillero Antonio
García, el número dos delEjército de LiberaciónNacional (ELN), para iniciardiálogos exploratorios sobreuna negociación de paz.
Chávez saludó losesfuerzos que está haciendoUribe para iniciarnegociaciones de paz con elELN, la segunda guerrilla delpaís.
“Apoyamos a la insti-tucionalidad de Colombia,apoyamos al presidenteUribe, queremos que losgrupos que andan por ahíarmados se pacifiquen’’, dijoChávez. Algunos dirigentespolíticos en Colombia lo hanacusado de tener simpatía porla guerrilla.
“Alvaro y yo somoshermanos, apoyamoscualquier fórmula endirección a la paz, que hayapaz, que haya paz. Ese esnuestro deseo”, afirmó elmandatario venezolano.
En la declaraciónconjunta se anunció que Co-lombia venderá a Venezuelasu participación enMonomeros Colombo-Venezolanos a la compañíapetroquímica venezolana. Lacompañía, dedicada laproducción de fertilizantes,tiene su sede en Barranquilla.
El presidente Chávezanunció que Colombia yVenezuela construirán unagran presa en la zonafronteriza de Norte deSantander y Táchira paragenerar electricidad y agua.
“Hemos dado pasosgigantescos (por laintegración). Yo creo que nose dieron en 50 años”, dijoChávez al recordar que están
en marcha dosmegaproyectos: un gaso-ducto para suministrar gascolombiano a Venezuela yun poliducto que atravesarátodo el territorio colombianohasta el Océano Pacífico parallevar el petróleo venezolanoa China y a los paísesasiáticos.
Colombia y Venezuelamantienen fuertes lazoscomerciales y este año elcomercio bilateral alcanzarála cifra récord de 3.000millones de dólares.
En la declaración con-junta dejaron en claro que lavinculación de Venezuela aMercosur (Brasil, Argentina,Paraguay y Urugauy) noafectará sus relacionesmercantiles.
“Considerando la import-ancia que el comercio tienepara el desarrollo de ambasnaciones, manifestaron sucompromiso de mantenereste positivo escenario y sinperjuicio de las decisionesalternativas que sobreintegración comercial adoptecada país’’, manifestaron.
Chávez fue recibido en laQuinta de San PedroAlejandrino, donde fallecióBolívar, con pancartas comoesta: “Bienvenido, presidenteChávez. Bolívar vive’’.
Muchos usaron boinasrojas, uno de los símbolosdel mandatario venezolano.Otros gritaban consignascontra el gobierno de Wash-ington y con inscripcionesen sus playeras donde se leía“abajo el imperialismo’’.
“Admiramos a Chávez, loqueremos. El es un líder quelucha y se preocupa por lasnecesidades de la gente. Algoque no se ve aquí’’, dijo IvethCandelario, de 42 años.

WASHINGTON (AP):The U.S. House agreed tobuild a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border to shutdown illegal immigration,but continued to wrangle overwhether a guestworker pro-gram is needed.
Late Thursday, the Housepassed a measure, 260-159,calling for construction of atwo-layered fence in parts ofCalifornia, Arizona, NewMexico, and Texas. The mea-sure is an amendment to alarger immigration enforce-ment bill backed by Bush.
The bill was nearly de-railed Thursday when sev-eral Republicans said theyopposed it because it did notinclude a guestworker pro-gram. Bush urged Congressalmost two years ago to en-act a guest worker programthat could allow illegal im-migrants to stay in the coun-try temporarily to fill jobsunwanted by U.S.-Ameri-cans. He repeated that mes-sage during a recent visit tothe Mexican border.
Under his plan, undocu-mented immigrants would beallowed to get three-yearwork visas. They could ex-tend those for an additionalthree years, but would thenhave to return to their homecountries for a year to applyfor a new work permit.
Others in the House wereunhappy because the immi-gration bill lacked tougherprovisions, including onedenying citizenship to chil-dren born to illegal immi-grants in the United States.
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., said negotiations hadbeen ongoing throughout the
Washington, DC: U.S.Citizenship and Immigra-tion Services (USCIS) an-nounced last week that ithas received a sufficientnumber of petitions toreach the congressionallymandated H-2B cap for thefirst six months of FiscalYear 2006 (FY 2006).
USCIS is hereby noti-fying the public that De-cember 15, 2005 is the “fi-nal receipt dat” for new H-2B worker petitions re-questing employment startdates prior to April 1, 2006.The “final receipt dat” isthe date on which USCISdetermines that it has re-ceived enough cap-subjectpetitions to reach the limitof 33,000 H-2B workersfor the first half of FY 2006.
USCIS will apply a com-puter-generated randomselection process to all pe-titions which are subjectto the cap and were re-ceived on December 15,2005. This process willselect the number of peti-tions needed to meet thecap. USCIS will reject allcap-subject petitions notrandomly selected. USCISwill also reject petitions
for new H-2B workers seek-ing employment start datesprior to April 1st that arriveafter December 15, 2005.
USCIS will continue toaccept petitions for new H-2B workers seeking employ-ment start dates on or afterApril 1, 2006 that arrive af-ter the “final receipt date”only if such petitions are sup-ported by a valid temporarylabor certification.
Petitions for both currentand returning H-2B workersdo not count towards the con-gressionally mandated bi-annual H-2B cap. “Return-ing worker” are exempt fromH-2B cap limitations. In or-der to qualify, the workermust have counted againstthe H-2B numerical cap be-tween October 1, 2002 andSeptember 30, 2005. Anyworker not certified as a “re-turning worker” is subject tothe numerical limitations forthe relevant fiscal year. Peti-tions received after the “fi-nal receipt date” which con-tain a combination of “re-turning workers” and work-ers subject to the H-2B capwill not be rejected, and peti-tioning employers will re-ceive partial approvals for
those aliens who qualifyas “returning workers” ifotherwise approvable.
USCIS will continue toprocess petitions filed to:
* Extend the stay of acurrent H-2B worker in theUnited States;
* Change the terms ofemployment for current H-2B workers and extendtheir stay;
* Allow current H-2Bworkers to change or addemployers and extend theirstay; or
* Request eligible H-2B “returning workers.”
More informationabout the H-2B work pro-gram is available at:www.uscis.gov.
Editor’s Note: OnMarch 1, 2003, U.S Citi-zenship and ImmigrationServices became one ofthree legacy INS compo-nents to join the U.S. De-partment of Homeland Se-curity.
USCIS is charged withfundamentally transform-ing and improving the de-livery of immigration andcitizenship services, whileenhancing the integrity ofour nation’s security.
day Thursday after Republi-cans met behind closed doorsto close ranks on the immi-gration bill. He said the meet-ing helped build momentumto pass the border fence mea-sure.
“What would be the bestChristmas present to theAmerican people is picturesof concrete being poured’’for the fence, Tancredo said.“This is a good thing.”
The fencing would total700 miles and priority forconstruction would be nearLaredo, Texas. The city isacross the border fromNuevo Laredo, México,where warring drug cartelshave been blamed for morethan 140 murders this year.
Texas Democratic Rep.Henry Cuellar, who is fromLaredo, voted against themeasure. “I’m strong on se-curity, but this overdoes it,”he said.
House members also ap-proved on a voice vote anamendment requiring BorderPatrol uniforms to be madein the United States. Rep.Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., said theyare now made in México, pos-sibly posing security prob-lems.
Supporters of the overallimmigration enforcement billdefended their decision to cutoff the flow of illegal en-trants before turning to thetougher issues of aguestworker program.
“Secure borders are now amatter of national security,”said Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga.
Almost all Democrats, andseveral border-state Repub-licans such as Arizona Reps.Jeff Flake and Jim Kolbe,pushed for a more compre-hensive measure that would
deal with the estimated 10million illegal immigrantsalready in the United States.
The GOP bill “does noth-ing to solve the real prob-lems of illegal immigration,”Kolbe said. “In fact, it’s worsethan nothing.”
The White House said in astatement that it strongly sup-ported the House bill, addingthat it “remains committed tocomprehensive immigrationreform, including a tempo-rary worker program thatavoids amnesty.”
Among its provisions, thebill would:
• Require the HomelandSecurity Department to em-ploy the personnel and tech-nology needed to secure theborder.
• End the “catch-and-re-lease” policy for non-Mexi-can immigrants.
• Require the Defense andHomeland Security depart-ments to design a plan to usemilitary technology to stopillegal crossings.
• Require all employers inthe country, more than 7 mil-lion, to check the legal statusof workers.
Senate Majority Leader BillFrist, R-Tenn., has said theguestworker issue will be onthe table when the Senate takesup immigration overhaul inFebruary. The main dispute isover whether the estimated 6million illegal workers shouldhave to leave the country be-fore applying for a temporaryworker program.
Associated Press writersJim Abrams and MaryDalrymple contributed to thisreport. On the Net: Informa-tion on the bill, H.R. 4437,can be found at http://thomas.loc.gov/

“Buenos días. Les hablael Congresista LuisGutiérrez de Chicago.
“Esta semana, losrepublicanos siguieroncon su ataque constantecontra la comunidadinmigrante. Lo hicieroncon uno de los proyectosde ley anti-inmigrante másviles y viciosos que jamásse haya debatido en elCongreso.
“En vez de trabajar conlos demócratas paraarreglar un sistema deinmigración que nofunciona, los republicanoslanzaron un ataque sinmisericordia y sinprecedente contra losinmigrantes documentadose indocumentados.
“Esta legislación haríaposible que lleven a lacárcel a un ciudadano deeste país que tiene unaesposa ó madre ó padreque es indocumentado.
“El Papa Juan Pablo II,que en paz descanse,describió a los “inmigrantesindocumentados” como“los extranjeros másvulnerables.”
“Esta legislación va acastigar a aquellos que siganlas palabras de ese Papa.Piénselo bien, estamoshablando de: una iglesia quequiera darle albergue óasistencia a los más débilesen nuestra comunidad, ó elconsejero que ayude a lasvíctimas de violenciadoméstica y sus hijos, ó lamadre que lleve a los hijos desu vecino a la escuela. Si lapersona que recibe la ayudaresulta ser indocumentada,este proyecto de leytransformará a estas buenasobras en crímenes.
“Los demócratas tenemosuna manera mejor de resolvereste problema, una que es másintegral y sensible. Neces-itamos un sistema que nosolamente proteja nuestrasfronteras, sino uno que tambiénrefleje nuestro historial dedarles la bienvenida a aquellosque buscan una mejor vida.Una historia que respeta lasinnumerables contribucionesque los inmigrantes hacentodos los días en nuestrascomunidades. Y para hacerlo,tenemos que atenderdirectamente la situación delos 8 a 11 millones deindocumentados que ya estánaquí - viviendo y trabajando y
contribuyendo a que estanación sea mejor y másdinámica.
“El proyecto de ley queyo propongo, y que losdemócratas apoyamos,recompensaría a loshombres y mujeres, que notienen papeles. Les daría uncamino justo y claro haciala permanencia y laciudadanía.
“De esta manera nosaseguraremos también quelos que están a cargo deproteger a nuestro paíspuedan enfocar su atenciónen los terroristas, losvioladores y los criminales.Así podrán dejar de perderel tiempo buscando perso-nas que manejan autobuses,que limpian las casas y quelimpian los baños - ellossólo quieren trabajar.
“Por el bien de lasmillones de familias quesufren por nuestras leyesmigratorias, así como porel bien de nuestra seguridadnacional y por el bien denuestra economía,necesitamos una reformadel sistema de inmigración que sea integral, abarcadoray completa.

But notary publics pass-ing themselves off as attor-neys to immigrants is not anisolated problem, accord-ing to nonprofit groups whohelp Latinos—Michiganpassed a law several yearsago to deal with this issue.
Diaz, whose legal train-ing consists mainly of at-tending immigration lawseminars, did too little to letpeople know she was not anattorney, according to lastweek’s court decision.
Diaz denies that she hasdeliberately misled peopleand when people refer toher as an attorney she cor-rects them.
Indiana notary publics,as in most states, need to be18 and legal residents. Nospecific education or train-ing is required. They mainlyadminister oaths and certifyaffidavits. By Indiana law,they can charge no more than$2 for each transaction.
Diaz is a high schoolgraduate and attended cos-metology school, but doesnot have a law degree, thecourt order said.
The Indiana State BarAssociation filed the com-plaint against Diaz. The Su-preme Court agreed Diazengaged in the unautho-rized practice of law and

KANSAS CITY, Kan.(AP): An attorney represent-ing a 16-year-old studentwho was suspended forspeaking in Spanish at a Kan-sas school says two otherparents have told him theirchildren were sent home forthe same infraction.
The father of ZachariahRubio filed a federal law-suit Dec. 12 against theTurner Unified School Dis-trict, the principal of En-deavor Alternative School,and six teachers, claiminghis son’s civil rights wereviolated when he was sus-pended Nov. 28 for speak-ing Spanish in a school hall-way.
Rubio’s lawyer, ChuckN. Chionuma, said two otherfamilies told him their chil-dren also were suspendedfrom the school for speak-ing Spanish. He said the casehas “strong potential” to be-come part of a class-actiondiscrimination suit.
School district lawyerGreg Goheen said Tuesdayhe had no reason to believeany other Spanish-speakingstudents had been repri-manded, and that the dis-trict had handled the inci-dent appropriately.
“We don’t think there’sany merit to the lawsuit andquite frankly, we think it’sfrivolous. We don’t have apolicy prohibiting studentsfrom speaking Spanish inthe school district,’’ Goheen
barred her from:• Selecting immigration
forms for those seeking im-migration assistance or ad-vising them on how to fillthem out.
• Using the title “notario”or “notario publico” in ad-vertisements or on businesscards without a conspicu-ous disclaimer, in both En-glish and Spanish, that sheis not an attorney.
• Drafting wills, con-tracts, pleadings or other le-gal documents.
Federal law allows non-lawyers to represent peoplein administrative immigra-tion proceedings. But theymust be affiliated with a rec-ognized nonprofit groupthat charges nominal sumsfor assistance, the court de-cision said.
The NeighborhoodChristian Legal Clinic onesuch group that offers legalrepresentation to low-in-come clients in the India-napolis area. Officials fromthe group said their clientshave had problems withnotaries presenting them-selves as “notarios” in theareas of immigration, realestate and tax law.
The Mexican Consulatein Indianapolis also has re-ceived complaints fromconfused immigrants whohave had notary publicscharge fees that a real law-yer would. In exchange, theygive flawed legal advice,said Sergio Aguilera-Beteta, the consulate’s con-sul.
“Sometimes that resultsin terrible things for the im-migrants,” he said.

said.The district issued a state-
ment Monday saying it hadreinstated Zachariah, apolo-gized to his family and that it“takes great pride in the cul-tural diversity of its students,staff and community anddoes not prohibit studentsfrom speaking in any lan-guage other than English.”
Twenty-seven states havepassed English-only laws,but none has the authority todecide what students canspeak in a school hallway,said Tim Schultz, spokesmanfor U.S. English Inc., a groupthat lobbies for official En-glish law.
The incident comes asKansas schools are wrestlingwith how to accommodatean increasingly diverse stu-dent population.
Endeavor AlternativeSchool is in an area KansasCity, Kan., where about 20percent of the population isLatino, according to U.S.Census figures. Zachariahenrolled there for his junioryear after he missed a fewweeks of school on a familytrip to Veracruz, the Mexi-can Gulf Coast state wherehis father grew up.
He said after he started atEndeavor in September—where he said he could makeup lost credits that hecouldn’t have received at hisprevious high school—he

BOGOTA, Colombia(AP): A new soft drinkmade in Colombia may notbe cola, but it’s definitelycoca.
A Nasa Indian companyin southern Colombia hascreated a golden, carbon-ated drink made from cocaleaf extract, and they planto market it as an alterna-tive to Coca-Cola.
Coca Sek goes on salethis week in parts of Co-lombia, but its makers saythey probably won’t beable to export to the U.S. ormost other countries be-cause of rules blocking theentry of raw coca, the plantfrom which cocaine is re-fined.
“Six years ago we tookon the job of trying to re-establish the good name ofthe coca leaf, which is aplant with enormous me-dicinal properties,” saidDavid Curtidor, a Nasawho heads the communitycompany that produces thedrink in the tiny southwest-ern town of Calderas.
The soda looks likeapple cider, has a tea-likefragrance and tastesvaguely like a cross be-tween 7-Up and ginger ale.The physical effect ofdrinking it—even afterseveral bottles—is mini-mal.
“It’s an energizingdrink,’’ Curtidor said. “It’slike coffee since it is lightlystimulating.”
Curtidor says the drinkalso is a political statementagainst transnational com-panies such as the Coca-Cola Co., which “symbol-izes imperialist domina-tion.”
Coca-Cola spokes-woman Kirsten Watt, in At-lanta, said such competi-
tors are welcome. “They’reentitled to create beveragesas they see fit,’’ she said.
As for its own ingredi-ents, Coca-Cola is tight-lipped. “Cocaine has neverbeen an ingredient,’’ Wattsaid, though she declined tosay whether cocaine-freecoca extract is part of thedrink’s secret recipe, as hasbeen widely reported. “Wejust can’t talk about the in-gredients, the specific flavorcomposition.”
Coca Sek’s makers sayraw coca leaf extract is a keyingredient in their soda.
The company, which has12 to 15 employees at a smallbottling plant, does not havethe funds needed to carry outtests to pinpoint how muchnaturally occurring cocainealkaloid makes its way intothe drink, Curtidor said. Butthe company has done testsshowing all alkaloids—which include cocaine andother substances—make upless than half of 1 percent ofthe drink.
“The traces that can re-main are minimal because theformula we have is one witha very low level of cocaine,’’he said.
A group of Nasa Indiansstarted selling coca tea,which is common in theAndes, to Colombian super-markets several years ago. Ayear and a half ago, they be-gan experimenting by add-ing ingredients and coolingthe drink, Curtidor said. Theydecided to call it Coca Sek,which in their Indian lan-guage means “Coca of theSun.”
Their company, EmpresaColombiana de la Coca, aimsto benefit small coca farm-ers, Curtidor said.
Similar drinks have ap-peared in Peru using a for-
mula based on coca leaves.But such products arebanned in most nations out-side the Andean region.
Curtidor said his grouphas sold small amounts ofcoca tea in Canada, Franceand the United States. Buthe said it would probablybe impossible to export thesoda on a larger scale be-cause of import restric-tions.
For now, Coca Sek re-mains a very local product.
“One of the first goalswe have is to obtain a dis-tribution truck,’’ Curtidorsaid. In the meantime, thecompany rents space onother companies’ trucks.
The clear, small bottleswith blue plastic caps wenton display at a crafts fair inBogota this month. Thedrink is scheduled to hitsupermarkets starting Fri-day in the southern Colom-bian states of Cauca andValle, and Curtidor said hehopes to eventually roll itout nationwide.
Colombia is the world’sNo. 1 producer of cocaine,and the United States is thetop buyer. But the coca leafhas many other uses. Forcenturies, Indians in theregion have chewed theplant’s leaves to ward offhunger and fatigue. SomeNasa Indians are now try-ing out the leaf in wines,cookies, and even soaps.
The soft drink’s makerssay it already has beensampled by many Colom-bians and has won wideapproval.
“We have a very bigmarket,” Curtidor said.“People are going to preferit out of solidarity and forthe delicious flavor it has.”
MILWAUKEE (AP):Representatives of eightstates and two Canadianprovinces formally ap-proved an agreement Dec.13 that would prevent out-siders such as the boom-ing cities of the South-west from raiding GreatLakes water.
If the legislatures in theeight states and Congressapprove, the unprec-edented agreement wouldlegally obligate the GreatLakes states to block di-version of water to areasoutside the Great Lakesand St. Lawrence RiverBasin.
The premiers of Que-bec and Ontario haveagreed to a companioncompact that requirestheir provinces to be con-sulted on large water di-versions, but it would notbe legally binding.
Wisconsin Gov. JimDoyle, Ohio Gov. BobTaft, and Ontario PremierDalton McGuinty signedthe agreements at theCouncil of Great LakesGovernors’ LeadershipSummit. Quebec and theremaining states sent rep-resentatives to the sum-mit signing.
The agreement allowswater to be transferredfrom Lakes Erie, Michi-gan, Huron, Superior, andOntario only to commu-nities within the GreatLakes and St. LawrenceRiver Basin.
“The lakes represent afresh water ecosystemthat’s unique on our planetsupporting thousands ofspecies, including humanbeings. These agreementswill protect our Great Lakesfrom the threats of diver-sions outside this basin,”said Wisconsin Gov. JimDoyle, the incoming chair-man of the Council of GreatLakes Governors.
The agreements allowfor limited exceptions todiverting water outside thebasin, such as supplyingwater for public purposesin communities near thebasin. Those straddlingcommunities or countieswould be required to returntreated water to the lakesafter use.
The governors and pre-miers considered potentiallegal challenges to the banon water diversion whenformulating the compactsover the last four years.
“It’s important that theagreement ... does go toCongress for approval,”said David Naftzger, ex-ecutive director of theCouncil of Great LakesGovernors. “In so approv-ing it, they would be indi-cating that they did not re-gard that it would be vio-lating the commerce lawsof the Constitution by suchregulation.”
Ohio Gov. Bob Taft saidstrong protection of thelakes is required as watershortages throughout the
country and the worldcontinue to become moresevere.
The pact was motivatedlargely by fears that statesin the booming but aridSouthwest will try tappinginto the lakes, which hold90 percent of the nation’sfresh surface water, as theirpopulations and politicalclout grow.
The agreements pro-vide that states and prov-inces will use a consis-tent standard to reviewproposed uses of GreatLakes water and that re-gional goals for waterconservation be estab-lished. It also requiresstates and provinces toshare technical data.
Molly Flanagan, GreatLakes water resourcesadvocate for the NationalWildlife Federation, saidavailable fresh water willbecome the “new oil” asmore states and countriesbegin looking for the re-source.
“Look at statisticsfrom the United Nationsand you’ll see clean wa-ter is increasingly scarcethroughout the world,’’Flanagan said.
McGuinty said protec-tion of the Great Lakeswas essential for the 43million people living inthe Great Lakes region.
“It’s their water. It’stheir future. It’s theirquality of life that is atstake here.”
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP): AnEnglish-speaking man’sefforts to rob a Mexicanrestaurant were foiled bya worker who spoke onlySpanish and another whopretended not to know En-glish, police said.
Witnesses told policethat James Adams, 44,acted as if he had a gunand ordered an employeeat Puerto Vallarta Mexi-can Restaurant and Cantinato open a cash register. Theemployee did not speakEnglish and was confusedabout what was happen-ing, said Muncie policeSgt. Al Williams.
A second employeeacted as if he did not speakEnglish, stalling Adams
while another employeeand a customer called po-lice, Williams said.
Police arrived and ar-rested Adams on chargesof attempted robbery androbbery. Adams was re-leased on bond early Tues-day.
Police say Adams is be-lieved to have committedat least one other robberyin the past three weeks.Adams admitted robbingPleasures, an adult noveltystore, on Nov. 28, Williamssaid.
“Most of our robberiesall lead back to a drug ad-diction and that’s what wasgoing on with him,” Will-iams said.
Another man who was
with Adams was also ar-rested, but was notcharged with a crime be-cause he had not intendedto become involved in theholdup and cooperatedwith investigators, Will-iams said.

ARIESTodo es felicidad esta semana si sabes disfrutar de
las cosas simples. Mira a tu alrededor y verás que eresuna persona agraciada, que tus problemas sonpequeños en comparación con los de otros y que notienes por qué lamentarte tanto.
TAUROA pesar de que en un principio te mostrabas a la
defensiva con esa persona, has descubierto que puedesconfiar en ella. Te sorprende lo mucho que la necesitascuando no está contigo y a veces desearías retenerla.Mejora tus hábitos alimenticios.
GÉMINISTe desconoces en estos días porque la magia de los
drásticos cambios que hiciste en tu vida te tienen enun limbo. Actuaste muy rápido y ahora sientes queestás en un laberinto sin salida. Tú no debes temer.Pronto verás una luz al final del camino.
CÁNCERNo te abrumes con las responsabilidades que no te
corresponden, porque serán fuertes los dolores decabeza que te vas a buscar y después, nadie te va asocorrer. Deja que la gente resuelva sus propios líosy si quieres ayudar, limítate a dar consejos.
LEOLa distancia de los seres queridos te han hecho una
persona dura, poco sensible con los tuyos. A pesar deque todos te conocen por tu buen corazón, los máscercanos a ti a veces extrañan aunque sea una pequeñamuestra de afecto. Evita involucrarte en asuntosturbios.
VIRGONo te pegues de personas que hablan mucho y
hacen poco. Tienes que estar muy pendiente en tusnegocios, en todo lo concerniente a tus finanzas. Si nocontrolas tus malos hábitos al manejar tu dinero, teverás en graves problemas. En el amor, se acerca unser muy importante para tu futuro.
LIBRASi te vieras en un aprieto por un malentendido con
unas amistades, no pierdas el control y trata de noofender, porque tú pierdes el control con muchafacilidad cuando te hieren. Usa tu prudencia, que a lalarga, sin mediar la violencia física o verbal, tucriterio prevalecerá.
ESCORPIONo le pierdas la pista a los comentarios que vienen
haciéndose sobre tu persona que parecen venir dealguien a quien le hiciste un desplante en el pasado.No hay maldad en lo que dice, es simplementedespecho y en el fondo, desearía tenerte a su lado.
SAGITARIOTu inseguridad pasará en la medida en que te des
cuenta que los temores que te invaden son infundados.Esa persona te corresponde más de lo que imaginas,pero tu miedo a perderla te ciega. Aprende a disfrutarde lo que tienes y no te martirices pensando en lo quepuedas perder.
CAPRICORNIOQue bonito es saber que lo que uno se propone lo
logra. Tú lo has comprobado, pero a veces se te olviday te entristece no tener o alcanzar lo que aspiras.Inténtalo con fervor, deséalo con el corazón, y verásque alcanzarás lo que parece irrealizable. En el amor,date por entero para que te corresponda igual.
ACUARIOPor un momento pensaste que tenías en tus manos
el triunfo y que aquellos a quienes consideras tusadversarios, se rendirían a tus pies. ¡Queequivocación! Ahora tendrás que afrontar lasconsecuencias, porque ellos vienen con más fuerzasque nunca antes. Moraleja: el triunfo no da derecho aser canalla. Aprende la lección
PISCIS Te preocupa la decisión que ha tomado una per-
sona cercana a ti en cuanto a una relación amorosa serefiere. Algo te indica que el paso es peligroso y quelo que se podría avecinar es un desengaño. El problemaes que tú no puedes hacer nada. Cuidado con loschismes en el trabajo.
Los chistes de la semana Un niño esperaba
impacientemente quellegara navidad para verque le iba a regalar su pa-dre. No aguantó más y selo preguntó:
Papá, papá, ¿Qué mevas a regalar para navidad?
El padre le dice:¿Qué te regalé el año
pasado?Un globo.Pues, este año te lo
inflo.Resulta que un sábado
llegó un circo a la ciudadde Monterrey y toda lamañana se prepararon, yen la tarde empezaron aanunciar por la ciudad.¡Señores y señoras,vengan a mirar el león másferoz del mundo por sólo50 pesos!
A la hora de la funciónnadie llegaba, por lo queel dueño decidió bajar elprecio y decía:
¡Vengan a ver al leónmás feroz nunca antesvisto por sólo 30 pesos!
Pero nadie llegaba, yasí siguió bajando elprecio, por sólo 20 pesos,10 pesos, y nada, hastaque al final dijo:
Pasen a ver el león másferoz, ¡gratis!
Y se llenó la carpa quecasi se reventaba, y elseñor puso estacasalrededor de la carpa ydespués dijo:
A 200 pesos la salidaporque, ¡vamos a dejarlibre al león!
Va un cura corriendoporque lo persigue un leónde repente el cura searrodilla y dice:Señor, te pido que este leónse vuelva cristiano.El león se arrodilla y dice:Señor, bendice estosalimentos que voy aconsumir.
Erase una vez quePepito se puso a venderhuevos dentro de unaiglesia:
¡Huevos, huevos, a 10pesos cada uno!
Y el padre muy molestogrita:
¡Saquen a ese niño de loshuevos!
Y Pepito asustado le dice:¡Padre, mejor de la
orejita!Un hombre irresponsable
y que se había portado muymal con su pobre familia,muere al fin. En el acto delentierro, un pariente lejanopronuncia la oraciónfúnebre:
Fue un esposo modelo yun padre ejemplar.
Al oír eso la viuda tomade la mano al niño que está asu lado y le dice:
Vamos hijo, nosequivocamos de entierro.
Un señor estaciona suauto frente al hotel, pide unahabitación para descansar.Más tarde baja a buscar suauto y se encuentra que suauto no estaba, y en el lugarestaba una bicicleta muydeteriorada con un cartelque decía: “PRUEBE ANDAREN ÉSTA BICICLETA YSENTIRÁ LA NECESIDADDE ROBAR UN AUTO”.
Un hombre vaconduciendo por la carreteracuando de pronto ve que endirección contraria viene unamujer conduciendo su autocomo loca y que al acercarse,baja el vidrio y le grita:
¡PUEEEEERCOOOOO!El hombre que
obviamente no se pudoquedar callado, baja su vidrioy le grita:
¡MUUUUUUUULAAAAA!En eso, al doblar la curva,¡pum! se estrella con un granpuerco que estaba en mediode la carretera.
Moraleja de la historia:
Los hombres nuncalogran comprender lo quelas mujeres tratan dedecirles.
Se encuentran dosamigos y dice uno:
No sé qué hacer con mibisabuelo, se come las uñastodo el tiempo.
Al mío le pasa igual, y lequite la maña en unmomento.
¿Cómo? ¿Le amarrastelas manos?
No, le escondí losdientes.
Estaba un señor tiradoen media calle diciendo:
CR345, CR345, CR345...Cuando llega otro y
dice:Pobrecito, este señor
está loco, mejor me pongojunto con él para que nopiensen mal de él.
Y se pone a decir XP041,XP041...
En eso el primero dice:¡Desgraciado, me hizo
perder la matrícula del queme atropelló!
Llega el hijo después dejugar un partido de fútbola su casa y le dice a supadre:
Papá, me jugué el mejorpartido de mi vida, hice 3goles.
Y le pregunta el papá:Y mijo, ¿a cuánto
quedaron?¡Perdimos 2-1!

(AP): Rompiendo con latendencia impuesta por RickyMartin a fines de la décadade 1990, que suponía quepara tener éxito real enEstados Unidos los artistashispanos debían cantar en elidioma de Shakespeare, elcantante colombiano Juanesjamás lo ha hecho—y no lonecesita.
De acuerdo con sudisquera, Juanes ha vendidomás de 850.000 copias de“Mi sangre’’ en EstadosUnidos y ronda el millón. Enuna clara muestra de suatractivo global, el astrosudamericano fueseleccionado para cantar este
mes—en español—tanto enel sorteo del Mundial deFútbol 2006 como en laceremonia de premiación delos Nobel de la Paz.
Este y otros casos parecendemostrar que el mercadodiscográfico estadounidenseestá listo para recibir con losbrazos abiertos a artistashispanos sin que necesitencantar en inglés.

ARIES: (MARCH 20 - APRIL 18)Marriages thrive when both partners accept each
other for who they are and don’t count on themchanging. Adjust your expectations with the inten-tion of loving that person, flaws and all, and look forpositive repercussions.
TAURUS: (APRIL 19 - MAY 20)Make yourself available this week to all who are in
need of a sympathetic ear. Resist letting your mindwander as you slow down and really listen to thatindividual. A reward may or may not come your way.
GEMINI: (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)Remember those worry beads from the 1960s?
Well, you might want to resurrect any dusty old pairyou may still own. You are about to be visited by sometricky challenges. Fear not; the beads will keep youcool-headed and resourceful.
CANCER: (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)A reality show of your home life would include
many scenes of warm family togetherness. You’vesown the seeds of nurturing encouragement all theseyears and now the satisfying “harvest” is plain for allto see.
LEO: (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)Taking the high road may not be all that easy when
certain events start to unfold. You’ll likely be temptedto veer off your normal straight and narrow course.That would be a bad move, however attractive thatdirection appears to be.
VIRGO: (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)Let this holiday season be one of reduced stress.
And the way to do that is to take on only what you cancomfortably accomplish with a smile. Ignore anyguilt feelings. Stay true to yourself; that will fostercontentment.
LIBRA: (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22)No, Cupid is not on an extended sabbatical. And, if
you’re waiting for Cupid to step in and lead the wayto romance, then you’re destined for disappointment.The onus is on you to find a sweetheart and then sparkyour own flame of love.
SCORPIO: (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)A little boost in your finances will provide a reason
for some merrymaking. This is not the kind of occa-sion where you rent a hall and use a loudspeaker. Aquiet dinner with a select few will mark your goodfortune fittingly.
SAGITTARIUS: (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)Is your stocking hung by the chimney with care, in
hopes that St. Nicholas soon will be there? You canreasonably expect an ample share of goodies, givenyour exemplary behavior of the past year. No lumpsof coal slated for you.
CAPRICORN: (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)While maybe not a guru, you are very savvy in the
field of money management. Although current spend-ing is above normal, you are not concerned. A plan isin place that will take care of the extra expendituresin a timely manner.
AQUARIUS: (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)Staying at home and watching or reading about
exciting events is right up your alley. You are prac-ticed at experiencing thrills vicariously and avoidingthe associated risks. An armchair traveler/observerare you.
PISCES: (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 19)“The dog ate my homework” is an excuse for a
school child, not an adult in your position. Balanceyour work and play time so you are always prepared.Abandon any lame excuses.
IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: You workhard, are serious about your work and expect to beappreciated.

Una versión previa deesta nota señalabaerróneamente que MatíasBize es argentino.
Tommy Lee Jonesbrings his same dry man-ner and sly humor infront of the camera to hisfeature debut behind itas director. He also co-stars in this spare, old-school Western as aTexas rancher investi-gating the killing of oneof his employees (JulioCesar Cedillo), an ille-gal immigrant fromMéxico with whom he’dformed an unexpectedbond, and whose friend-ship inspires his venge-ful trek across the RioGrande. Working from ascreenplay by GuillermoArriaga, whose nonlin-
ear narrative recalls hisearlier scripts for“Amores Perros” and “21Grams,” Jones lulls us inwith wide-screen, scrub-brushed vistas (some ofwhich were shot on hisown ranch) and the quirkyrhythms of small-townlife before reaching hisdestination with a surpris-ingly intense, satisfyingclimax. The eclectic sup-porting cast includesBarry Pepper, JanuaryJones, Dwight Yoakamand Melissa Leo. R for lan-guage, violence and sexu-ality. 120 min.

Campeones mundiales de clubes de fútbolPor The Associated Press
(AP): Dos goles deluruguayo Vicente Sánchezy uno del argentinoRodrigo Díaz, le dieron aToluca la corona delApertura 2005 del fútbolmexicano al vencer 3-0 alos Rayados, queterminaron con ochohombres en el campo.
Con este resultado delpartido de vuelta, el globalde la final fue de 6-3.
El primer gol de Sánchezllegó a los 50 minutos,gracias a un error delarquero Christian Martínez,a quien el balón le pasó en-tre las piernas. El segundocayó a los 91 minutoscuando el uruguayo entrópor la derecha y recortó a lazaga para marcar.
El último tanto llegó porcuenta del “Rengo” Díaz,quien se metió por elcorredor derecho, recortóa la zaga y puso fin alencuentro.
Toluca se proclama campeón del apertura enMéxico Durante la primera parte
del juego, a los 10 minutos,Carlos Esquivel, el Sánchezy Manuel de la Torre seconjugaron para realizar laprimera jugada de peligroque puso a latir deprisa elcorazón de los de casa.
Cuando el balón ibadirecto a las redes, SeveroMeza detuvo el balazo encertera atajada, que devolvióel alma al cuerpo de los afi-cionados.
Pero a los 14 minutos, unadecisión del árbitro MarcoAntonio Rodríguez, lecambió la cara al encuentro.Le sacó la tarjeta roja a PauloSerafín argumentando unafuerte entrada, con la quepocos coincidieron, pero quedejó al cuadro de Miguel “ElPiojo” Herrera con 10hombres en el campo.
La consecuencia fue claraen Rayados: se tornaron másdefensivos y limitaron susdescolgadas hacia el áreaenemiga.
Con este nuevoesquema, el argentinoAmérico Gallegos mandóa su equipo a presionar másy echarse hacia adelante.
Aún con eso, Rayadostuvo la última jugada de laprimera parte en loszapatos del brasileñoCésar Pinheiro, quiendisparó un cañonazo quefue controlado por elargentino HernánCristante y mandó a losequipos sin goles a losvestidores.
En la segunda mitad, lospupilos de Gallegos, conun poco de ayuda delárbitro y la desesperacióndel conjunto Rayado,sentenciaron el encuentro.
Las vitrinas del Tolucaguardan ahora ochotrofeos de campeón: de lastemporadas 1966-67,1967-68, 1974-75, Verano1998, Verano 1999,Verano 2000, Apertura2002 y del 2005.

L-R: Cynthia Arredondo Geronimo con hija Ciara,Dan Saevig, Linda Alvarado, Joan Brown, and Dr.Dagmar Morales at a UT Latino Alumni function in ‘03.
Things are just not goingto be same at the University ofToledo in the New Year. Why? Dr. Dagmar “Dee” Moraleshas retired after providing UTstudents with 24 years ofmuch-needed and greatly ap-preciated leadership.
“I’m very happy to havebeen the Executive Directorof the University of ToledoOffice of Latino Initiatives forthe last five years,” says Mo-rales, whose actual retirementdate is Dec. 30.
There’s no doubt that she’sgoing to be a tough act tofollow. Conventional wisdomis that UT is going to have adifficult time finding anotherperson as exuberant, ener-getic, creative, and intelligentas Morales. But the good newsis that they’re already off togood start as we discuss be-low.
So how has Dr. Moralesbeen spending her first non-working days in 24 years?“I’ve been responding to stu-dents. They all have my cellnumber and my e-mail ad-dress. I was on call 24/7,” shesays.
However, the future mayhold a promising surprise forMorales. Will she return togovernment service or take ajob in the private sector? “Ihave numerous options,” isall Morales will say, but shemade it clear those optionsmay not be limited toacademia.
Previous to joining UT,Morales worked in Washing-ton, D.C. in civil rights andanti-poverty programs at thefederal Department of the In-terior and Department of Ag-riculture.
“My lifetime goal in termsof my career or my career pathhas been the advancement ofunder-represented people,”says Morales.
She found current UTpresident Dr. Dan Johnson tobe especially responsive toher needs in the Office ofLatino Initiatives, whichshould come as no surprise toanyone familiar withJohnson’s shared interest inunder represented people.“Much of the foundation ofhis research is on African-Americans, although gener-ally they have the same issuesas Latinos,” says Morales.
Will she miss working withJohnson? “There are somegood leaders on this level,but it is time to move onto thenext level,” says Morales,who is of Puerto Rican de-scent.
Although the bulk of herwork at UT focused upon in-clusion and diversity, Mo-rales always put the needs ofher students first. “I wouldbring them in as an undergrad,and make sure they were wellprepared with a mastery ofskills. I always stressed theneed for a firm foundation ofthe skills they needed to suc-ceed.
“I let them know they willbe well taken care of at UT,and that I was an advocatethey could turn to for theirwhole four year experience.But they also knew they hadfour years to keep their gradesup,” says Morales.
“I was very concernedabout the rights of students.They don’t know how to workthe system to their benefit.But I had the benefit of 24years as an advocate withinthe system. I knew how topick up the phone and say Ineed help now.
“and my efforts broughtresults. One-third of thegraduating class was making3.0 and better and we hadsome 4.0 averages in the mix,”adds Morales.
The high regard her stu-dents have for Morales is ex-emplified in this letter she re-ceived from Aron Velásquez,son of Farm Labor Organiz-ing Committee (FLOC) presi-dent and founder BaldemarVelásquez. Morales was kindenough to share it with read-ers of La Prensa.
“Dr. Morales, I wanted towish you congratulations onyour retirement, and to wishyou much luck and God’sblessing on all of your futureendeavors. I know thatyou will keep yourself busy!I also wanted to thank you foryour advice and guidanceover the last four years. I ampleased to tell you that I willbe graduating this December,Magna Cum Laude, with mydegree in mechanical engi-neering, and I have earned aposition with Marathon OilCompany upon graduation.It is an amazing opportunity,and I am pleased to tell youthat I got the interview via‘pressing flesh,’ as you liketo say, with several employ-ees during a career expo.When they hired me, one ofthe reasons they told me wasthe great communicationskills that they perceived inme. Much of that skill camefrom those events that youput on that forced us to net-work with people we did notknow (Some of that couldhave come from my father too,I guess!). Anyway, I wantedyou to know that what youdid here was much appreci-
ated by many, and that youwere instrumental in so manypeople’s success. Thank you,and God bless. Sincerely,Aron Velásquez”
Christiane Fox of Mara-thon Petroleum Company’sPublic Affairs department inFindlay confirmed that AronVelasquez is “scheduled toreport to work as a projectengineer for Marathon Pe-troleum Company LLC inFindlay on Jan. 3.”
Ironically, that’s the sameday Alvarado assumes theinterim directorship of theOffice of Latino Initiativesat UT. Somehow, the circlestays unbroken.Linda Alvarado
Linda Alvarado, currentlydirector of UT’s GraduateStudent Association, a mem-ber of the Graduate Council,and a doctoral candidate inthe College of Education, willbecome the interim execu-tive director of theuniversity’s Office of LatinoInitiatives on Jan. 3.
Although Alvarado willserve as interim director ofthe one-person office, Mo-rales says her successor willhave the opportunity to ap-ply for and compete for thepermanent position, some-thing that is usually deniedto interim directors as a con-dition of their employment.
“I encouraged Alvaradoto apply for the job,” saysMorales, adding that the uni-versity plans to conduct anational search for her per-manent replacement.
Alvarado has a differentvision for the Office of LatinoInitiatives. “I’m coming fromacademia, and I’m lookingat the position from thatviewpoint. I’ve done my re-search around Latinos, mydissertation and the litera-ture I hope to soon have pub-lished focuses upon the un-derprivileged lower socio-economic group. I would liketo further study and workwith the marginalized stu-dent population.
“I take a more action re-search approach. Because theposition is an interim ap-pointment, I will continue totake my classes part-time.But I will be able to pump outsome literature as well aswrite grants for the depart-ment and make a contribu-tion to the Latino commu-nity,” says Alvarado.
“I will approach the posi-

tion from a different perspec-tive. I want to work with UTand the community. I want towork with gifted children stu-dents and underprivilegedstudents, and I hope to set upa satellite office in either theSouth End or the East Side,”she adds.
But is Alvarado interestedin the permanent director-ship? “Only if I can teach aswell,” she explains. “It is cur-rently a staff job, which isdistinct from being inacademia. I think it is impor-tant for students to see per-sons of color who are alsoteaching. The way things arestructured, you carry moreauthority if you are teaching,even if you are only over aone-person department.”
Alvarado plans to hold anOffice Warming and encour-ages members of the com-munity to attend and talk withher about any communityconcerns or issues the de-partment can address.

SAN JOSE, CostaRica, Dec. 13 (AP): Thebody of a man shot deadby U.S. air marshals inFlorida last week after heallegedly said he had abomb arrived Tuesday inhis native Costa Rica,where funeral serviceswere to be held in a townoutside the capital.
U.S. federal officialssay Rigoberto Alpizarmade a bomb threat inthe jetway at the MiamiInternational Airport af-ter running frantically outof a plane. They said theyopened fire becauseAlpizar ignored their or-ders to stop, insteadreaching into his back-pack.
No bomb was foundafter last Wednesday’s
shooting. Witnesses saidhis wife frantically shoutedamid the chaos that he wasbipolar, and hadn’t takenhis medication.
The man’s father, CarlosAlpizar, who received thebody at the San Jose airportsaid his son was unjustlykilled “because there wasno time between talking tohim and shooting to killhim.”
“It was absurd what theydid,” his father said of U.S.marshals.
Rigoberto Alpizar’sfamily in Costa Rica hassaid they were unaware hesuffered from any mentalillness. Carlos Alpizar saidhis son called him often andcame home last July to ac-company him to see a doc-tor for a heart problem.
The family attended aMass in Alpizar’s honorTuesday at the Immacu-late Conception Catho-lic Church in Cariari dePococi, 70 kilometers(45 miles) outside of thecapital. He was buriednext to his mother, whodied 11 years ago.
His brother, RolandoAlpizar, said the familyis still waiting for an ex-planation from U.S. au-thorities.
Rigoberto Alpizar,44, left Costa Rica forthe United States twodecades ago. He becamea naturalized U.S. citi-zen and worked for theU.S. hardware chainHome Depot, living inthe Orlando suburb ofMaitland.

Friends and Colleagues,Our sympathy for the recent passing of Gerald Johnson, husband of Dr. Esther
Monclova-Johnson and recently retired Director of the 21st Century LearningProgram for CMSD. During the years that Dr. Esther Monclova-Johnson wasemployed at the Cleveland Municipal School District (CMSD), she and her staffassisted the Office of Minority Affairs and Community Relations during our annualHispanic Community Education Forums. Although Esther resides in Washington,D.C. (working for the public schools), till this day, CMSD’s Multicultural MultilingualOffice continues to assist us in our efforts.
I feel for her loss and I pray that Esther’s heart will heal soon as she is surroundedby family and friends during this Holiday Season.Sincerely,
Maritza L. Perez, CoordinatorMulticultural ProgrammingCleveland State University, Office of Minority Affairs and Community Relations

COLUMBUS, OH(AP): Fewer than a dozenprotesters braved thecold outside the State-house to criticize electionchanges that Senate Re-publicans were pushingthrough the chamber in-side.
Andrew Stephensonstood out. He’s a theol-ogy student—and a Re-publican.
“A lot of the peoplewho are going to be af-fected by this are thehomeless and the poor,”the 23-year-old studentat Methodist TheologicalSchool in Delaware said.“As a Republican, I cansee the injustice here.”
The Senate Republi-cans made slight conces-sions to opponents whoconsider the legislationan attack on voters’rights. The concessionsgot little notice from theopponents. The 21-11vote Tuesday was alongparty lines, with Repub-lican Tim Grendell join-ing Democrats against the
bill. Backers say thechanges will curtail elec-tion fraud, but opponentssay the moves are too dras-tic for what little fraud hasoccurred.
One change made Dec.13 would allow voters’ cur-rent driver’s licenses to beallowed as identificationeven if a person’s addresswas different than the oneon the license.
The House agreed to theSenate changes onWednesday.
The bill would requireeach voter to present adriver’s license, bank state-ment, utility bill, or otheridentification at the poll-ing place. Currently, a reg-istered voter only mustmatch a signature in thepoll book.
The Senate eliminated arequirement that votersmust cast provisional bal-lots if they moved withinthe same precinct beforeElection Day but the boardof elections wasn’t awareof the change.
The bill also would re-strict the campaign activi-ties of the secretary of stateand the attorney generaland define Ohio residency
McCONNELSVILLE,OH (AP): A soldier whodied Dec. 12 in a bomb-ing in Baghdad was 36hours from leaving Iraq,his father said.
Staff Sgt. CurtisMitchell, 28, was killedwhen a bomb explodednear his tank, the Depart-ment of Defense said. Hehad been in Iraq sinceJanuary; it was his sec-ond tour there.
Mitchell’s brother,Spec. Jimmy Mitchell,was on the same patroland was due to come backin January, but insteadhas started home for thefuneral, according to theirfather, Edward Mitchell.
Another brother, Wil-liam Mitchell, graduatedfrom Air Force basictraining Dec. 9.
“My children were
raised up in a lifestyle thatwe were supposed to pro-tect our country. They areproud to do so,” said Ed-ward Mitchell, whoserved in the Navy dur-ing the Vietnam War.
Curtis Mitchell, whowent by Tony, was bornin Columbus and grew upnear McConnelsville, 65miles southeast. Hejoined the Army out ofhigh school in 1995.
Mitchell was assignedto the 3rd Infantry Divi-sion, based in FortStewart, Ga.
As of Dec. 15th, 2,152U.S. soldiers have died inIraq in conjunction withover 30,000 Iraqis—thelatter according toGeorge W. Bush.

for those who circulate pe-titions.
The changes, especiallythe identification require-ment, would harm tradi-tionally Democratic con-stituencies, such as blacks,Latinos, college students,the poor, and the elderly,said Sen. Robert Hagan, aYoungstown Democrat.
However, Sen. KevinCoughlin, a Cuyahoga FallsRepublican, said the realtargets are the outsidegroups that paid people toregister voters in the effortlast year to oust PresidentBush. Some signature col-lectors used fraudulentnames, made-up addresses,and, in one case, used thenames of celebrities or car-toon characters.
Sen. Teresa Fedor, aToledo Democrat, said thefraud allegations weregroundless. “MickeyMouse got caught and didnot vote. There was no voterfraud,” she said.
About a dozen oppo-nents sat in the Senate gal-lery, wearing orange sasheswith slogans like “HouseBill 3 is a disaster,” but Sen-ate security ordered thesashes turned around.
The opponentsobliged. Senate PresidentBill Harris, an AshlandRepublican, gaveleddown applause from theopponents after a Demo-cratic senator’s speech,and warned that furtheroutbursts would result inan empty gallery. Therest of the session wasrelatively quiet.
Linda Perront, 44, ofCincinnati, sat in the gal-lery wearing a sash thatread “Let the peoplevote.” Perront said she isworried Republicansmay be trying to reduceDemocratic votes.
“My fear is that it maybe targeted that way. Itaffects every singlevoter,” she said.

población de origen latino,por inmigración directa y pornacimientos, y queactualmente asciende a másde 42 millones de personas _como si se tratara de otropaís latino.
Según algunos dentro dela industria, también existeinterés de parte del públicoanglosajón.
El magnate de la músicaEmilio Estefan afirmó en lamás reciente edición de losPremios Grammy Latinos,que el auge latino en inglésha terminado y lo que vendráserá un incremento de lamúsica en español.
Juanes no es el único quese olvida del llamado “cross-over” para tener ventasimportantes en EstadosUnidos.
Otros artistas latinos quearrasan cantando en suidioma incluyen a AlejandroFernández, 250.000ejemplares de “A corazónabierto’’; Sin Bandera,300.000 copias de ``Deviaje’’; Julieta Venegas,200.000 unidades de ``Sí’’.En 2004, Los Temerarioslograron un disco deplatino—un millón de copiasvendidas, igual que LosTigres del Norte en 2005 consu álbum “Jefe de jefes’’.
La súper estrellacolombiana Shakira, con“Fijación Oral Vol. 1” obtuvola mayor cifra de ventas deun disco totalmente enespañol en Estados Unidosen la primera semana.
A principios dediciembre, la revista Bill-board premió a la estrellacolombiana en trescategorías: “Artista PopLatino del Año”, “Disco delAño” por “Fijación Oral Vol.1” y “Canción del año” por
Carla’s Corner(Continued from Page 10)
“La Tortura”, tema que semantuvo 26 semanasencabezando el escalafónlatino de la revista.
Cuando lanzó a fines denoviembre su álbum en inglés“Oral Fixation Vol. 2”, seubicó inmediatamente entrelos cinco más vendidos delmercado estadounidense.
Shakira logró—porprimera vez para un artista enEstados Unidos—encabezaren la misma semana las ventasen los rankings latinos e ingléscon dos álbumes diferentes.
Otro artista que canta sóloen español y que se haconvertido en un fenómenointernacional con su tema “LaGasolina”, es el jovenpuertorriqueño Daddy Yan-kee, actual rey del reggaetón.
Para Alberto del Castillo,vicepresidente de Marketingde Fonovisa Records,“definitivamente no esnecesario” cantar en ingléspara vender en EstadosUnidos. Del Castillo sostuvoque eso es por el ampliomercado latino, pero tambiénatribuyó el ascenso en ventasde discos en español alconsumidor anglo.
“No te puedo decir que esel 50% pero es una proporciónmuy alta”, indicó enentrevista telefónica. Afirmóque la mitad del públicoconsumidor de Daddy Yan-kee es anglo.
Pero John Echevarría,presidente de Universal Mu-sic Latino, dijo que no sepuede equiparar a DaddyYankee y Juanes, ya que setrata de dos situacionesdistintas.
“El éxito de Daddy estámucho más vinculado a eseeterno éxito latino en el‘mainstream’ de EstadosUnidos”, indicó. “Siempre hahabido una lambada, unAserejé, un Ritchie Valens”,agregó.

Saturno, of the Univer-sity of New Hampshire,first reported discovery ofthe site in 2001 when hestopped to rest in thejungle, taking shelter in anold trench that turned outto be part of the ancientroom.
Since then the west andnorth walls have been un-covered. The room’s otherwalls had been demolishedand used for fill, he said.The west wall was the cen-terpiece of the room,Saturno said.
The mural includes fourdeities, which are variationsof the same figure, the sonof the corn god.
As Saturno explained it:The first deity stands in thewater and offers a fish, es-tablishing the watery un-derworld. The secondstands on the ground and

Chionuma said.“When she said she was
sending me to the office, shepushed the intercom in frontof everybody, and said ‘I’msending Zach up to speakSpanish to you,’” he said.
Principal Jennifer Wattslater told the boy she wassuspending him for speak-ing Spanish. The disciplinereferral says he was sus-pended for a day and a halffor disobeying “a reasonablerequest (not to speak Span-ish at school).”
“This is not the first timewe have ask [sic] Zach andothers not to speak Spanishat school,” Watts wrote.
The district says Super-intendent Bobby Allen re-versed the decision and re-instated Zachariah withinhours of the incident. Butthe Rubios say he was notreinstated until the next af-ternoon, and that they didn’treceive the district’s officialapology until at least a weeklater.
Community groups inKansas City have formed asupport network for theRubio family.

The district callsZachariah’s experience an“isolated incident.”Goheen said the districtwould respond to the law-suit in coming weeks.
“We’re obviously find-ing out that this was morethan one incident,” saidDavid Hinojosa, a staff at-torney with MALDEF, a na-tional nonprofit group thatis now researching the case.“It has the potential to setnational precedent if the dis-trict is unwilling to settle.”

Bush, GOP stumble through2005(Continued from Page 2)
LORAIN, OH (AP): Ve-hicle No. 15,946,538 rolledoff the Ford Motor Co. LorainAssembly Plant, signaling theend of production at the 47-year-old plant and the loss ofabout 750 jobs.
“People don’t realize whatwe’ve lost here,” said Fordretiree Larry Wargo, whoworked 31 years at the plant,about 30 miles west of Cleve-land. Production ended Dec.15 when the final Econolinevan rolled off the line.
The first vehicle, a red F-100 pickup truck, rolled offthe line on May 19, 1958. Inthe years that followed, work-ers built a series of modelscarrying nameplates includ-ing the Comet, Montego,Torino, Cougar, andThunderbird.
Econoline production willmove to the nearby OhioTruck Plant in Avon Lake.
Ford announced the shut-down plans in 2003 and theshutdown schedule last year.The automaker said the shut-down was part of its world-wide plan to improve profit-ability by reducing its ca-pacity.
El Comité Judicial dela Cámara deRepresentantes aprobó eljueves la propuesta deley, impulsada por elrepresentante republic-ano de Wisconsin JamesSensenbrenner.
El titular de laSecretaria de RelacionesExteriores dijo, en unaentrevista radial, queestaba haciendo loposible para que elproyecto no se conviertaen ley. “Con muchafuerza (estamos)tratando de evitarlo”,según las transcripcionesde la entrevista.
Añadió que lapropuesta “nos parecía anosotros equivocadaporque era unalegislación que trataba deatender el temamigratorio sobre la basede la parte jurídica y deejecución de medidas decontrol”.

También establecenuevas sentencias mínimasobligatorias para los “coy-otes” y para las personashalladas culpables de haberentrado al país después dehaber sido deportadas.
“Ese tipo de leyes noconducen a solucionesadecuadas, el levantarmuros, el imponer mayornúmero de personas tratandode vigilar la frontera,endurecer la medida decaución que le causaría a unapersona hacer un contrato auna persona que no tengadocumentación adecuada’’,dijo Derbez.
Por otra parte, el cancillerexhortó la semana pasada agrupos de empresarios enChicago a oponerse, juntoa líderes comunitarios y dela Iglesia, a la propuesta.
“Hablando con ellos,hablando con la IglesiaCatólica por el tema de loque es social, el impacto

Bush also backed thehighly controversialHouse Bill 4437, therebyreneging on his earlierpromises of immigrationreform.
Bush was stung last Fri-day when the Senate re-jected a renewal of certaincontroversial provisions ofthe so-called Patriot Act,depicting the measures asthreats to the constitutionalcivil liberties of innocentU.S.-Americans.
By the end of 2005,there was little talk of So-cial Security changes andplenty of discussion ofcourtroom proceedings.
Among the legal woesthat hit the Republicans:
_I. Lewis “Scooter”Libby, a former top aide toVice President DickCheney, faces charges thathe lied to FBI agents and afederal grand jury abouthow he learned about theidentity of Valerie Plame,a CIA operative. Plame’sidentity was revealed inJuly 2003 by columnistRobert Novak after her hus-band, Joseph Wilson, ac-cused the Bush adminis-tration of twisting intelli-gence about Iraq.

Under DeLay’siron-fisted rule, House Re-publicans largely operatedin lockstep and dissensionwas rare.

Let’s help Professor Ernesto Gálvez
Ernesto Gálvez, was born in Cajamarca, Perú,
Professor at the University of Akron
Math Department
Fr i e n ds o f E r ne st o Gálv e z
Ami go s de E rn e s to Gálv e z
In May 2005, Ernesto Gálvez was diagnosed with brain cancer (multiform glioblastoma) which required major brain surgery. His life expectancy is 6 months to a year. He is unable to move on his own or speak, and needs to be carried or moved in a wheel chair. He has had a couple of setbacks with seizures that have increased the need for care. He has to have professional help which is expensive and the insurance is not paying for it. One of their most urgent needs currently is to obtain a “patient lifter” which will help Ernesto’s young daughters to move and po-sition their father at their home.
A special account has been opened in his daughter's name Kenny Yveth Galvez in US BANK # 130103162546. Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. For more information please call Ernesto’s home: 330-848-3964, and leave a message.
Remember, nobody is free from cancer.
En Mayo de este año a Ernesto le diagnosticaron un cáncer al cerebro (glioblastoma multiforme). Fue operado del cerebro y el pronóstico de vida es de 6 a 12 meses. Ya no puede moverse ni hablar y tiene que ser cargado o transportado en una silla de ruedas. Ha tenido recientes re-caídas que lo han dejado en un estado delicado y necesita de tratamiento y atencion profesional costosa y que el seguro no está cubriendo. Lo que más necesitan en estos días es conseguir un “equipo de movilización de pacientes” para que las hijas de Ernesto lo puedan mover y atender den-tro de casa.
Se le ha abierto una cuenta bancaria a nombre de su hija Kenny Iveth Galvez en el US BANK # 130103162546. Cualquier ayuda que Ud. pueda brindar sera muy bien recibida. Si desea más información puede llamar a casa de Ernesto al teléfono 330-848-3964 y dejar su mensaje.
Recuerde, nadie está libre del cáncer!
• Ernesto arrived in the USA 20 years ago with his wife and two daughters Yveth, 9, and Yvonne, 4.
• Two years later, Ernesto’s wife died of breast cancer. Since then, Ern e s t o de dic ate d himself to raising his daughters, and to his job as a teacher at the Math Department of the University of Akron.
• His daughters live with their father and attend Akron University.
• By the end of the year they will have a debt of $100,000 in health care expenses.
Happy
Thanksgiving!
And let us remember
those among who are
facing hard times
through the holidays.
