MEXICO, el 11 de marzo del2010 (AP): El magnate mexicanoCarlos Slim, hijo de uninmigrante que trabajaba comodependiente de una tienda, seconvirtió en la primera personade una nación en vías dedesarrollo en ser nombrada porla revista Forbes como la per-sona más rica del mundo, conuna fortuna estimada en 53.500millones de dólares.

Según Forbes Slim tambiénes el primer latinoamericano queencabeza la lista de los más ricos.

El mexicano rebasó a losm u l t i m i l l o n a r i o sestadounidenses Warren Buffety Bill Gates para ocupar el primersitio en la lista de las personasmás ricas del mundo, que larevista publica el jueves.

Forbes atribuyó el ascensodel mexicano hasta la cumbre dela lista por la recuperación delvalor de sus empresas de telefoníacelular en el último año.

Keren Blankfeld, periodistade Forbes, dijo que nunca antesalguien nacido en un país endesarrollo había ocupado esesitio como el más rico. Slim es laprimera persona no nacida enEstados Unidos que asciende alo más alto de la lista desde1994, pero el yerno de Slimconsidera que la mención porparte de la revista no representaun motivo de celebración.

“Este es un número sacadopor una revista, nunca nos haocupado ni nos ha preocupado”,dijo Arturo Elías Ayub, quienademás de ser un ejecutivo de laempresa de telefonía fija Telmex,propiedad de Slim, suele fungircomo su vocero.

Empero, consideró que la

MEXICO CITY, March10, 2010 (AP): Mexico’sCarlos Slim, the son of animmigrant shopkeeper whoamassed a $53.5 billion for-tune and bought a majorstake in the New YorkTimes, became the first per-son from a developing na-tion to be named the world’srichest person.

Slim, a telecom magnate,edged out U.S. billionairesBill Gates and Warren Buf-fet to earn the top spot onForbes’ list of the world’srichest people—the firsttime a non-American hastopped the list since 1994.The jump in position comesfollowing a year in whichSlim’s cell phone holdingsrebounded in value.

Forbes’ employee KerenBlankfeld said that neverbefore has someone from thedeveloping world earnedthe top spot.

Arturo Elias Ayub—anexecutive at Slim’s Telmextelephone company and thebillionaire’s son-in-law—expressed satisfaction that

a Mexican businessman is nowat the top of the list.

“The reaction is one of satis-faction, that this confidence inMexico exists, and this confi-dence in our group’s companies,”said Elias Ayub, who frequentlyacts as Slim’s spokesman.

But he said the 70-year-oldmagnate is not breaking out thechampagne.

“This is a number broughtout by a magazine that doesn’tconcern us, or worry us,” saidElias Ayub, echoing Slim’s2007 comment about the topspot that had eluded him foryears: a Spanish phrase—“mees impermeable”—thatroughly translates as “I’m im-pervious to that.”

Slim is known for wearinginexpensive suits and rarelyusing the computers his com-panies sell, preferring old-stylepaper notebooks. A baseballfan, his indulgences are largelylimited to cigars and diet softdrinks.

While he owns—either per-sonally or through his founda-tions and museums—an im-pressive collection of art, in-

cluding works by Frenchsculptor Auguste Rodin, heworks out of a set of some-what dowdy, 1970s-style of-fices.

A civil engineer by train-ing, he has bought uptroubled or government-owned companies of alltypes, fixed them up and re-sold them for huge profits.

That kind of thrifty eye forundervalued businesses hasserved him well, especiallyafter the market downturns inrecent years.

“In periods of crisis, hehas always invested, and nowwe are beginning to see thefruits of that,” Elias Ayubsaid.

Blankfeld said the 2010top-ten list—which includesSlim, two billionaires fromIndia and one from Brazil—reflects the increasing pres-ence of developing nations.

Gates’ and Buffet’s dona-tions also played a role intheir decline to the number 2and 3 spots. “A big reason forthat is they are both very phil-anthropic,” said Blankfeld.

designación sí constituye unamuestra de confianza enMéxico.

“La reacción essatisfacción de que existe estaconfianza en México y estaconfianza en las empresas delgrupo”, señaló.

En una reunión concorresponsales extranjerosrealizada en México en agostode 2007, el propio Slimconsideró intrascendente el serseñalado como el hombre másrico del mundo.

“Si soy el primer o elvigésimo o el 2.000, noimporta”, señaló entonces enuna de las escasas referenciassobre su fortuna y el lugar queocuparía entre los más ricosdel mundo.

“Me es impermeable”,añadió el magnate, quien tieneactualmente 70 años.

Slim es propietario deTelmex; del mayor operadorcelular en el país, AméricaMóvil; así como de empresasque operan en rubros muydiversos, desde las tiendasminoristas y los restauranteshasta bancos y empresas deconstrucción y metalurgia,integrados en el Grupo Carso.Recientemente, el empresariocompró una participaciónmayoritaria en el diario TheNew York Times.

Sin embargo, se le conocepor llevar un estilo de vida másbien austero para su fabulosariqueza. No viste trajes caros,rara vez se le ve en los mejoresrestaurantes y se niega acomprar mansiones en otrasciudades.

Además, no suele usar

computadoras (como las quevenden sus cadenas minoristaso su emporio telefónico) yprefiere utilizar libretas depapel. Fanático del béisbol, susmayores lujos se limitannormalmente a los habanos ylas gaseosas bajas en calorías.

El magnate ha dicho quepor encima de sus negocios ysus logros profesionales, sumayor orgullo es su familia.

Personalmente o mediantesus fundaciones y museos, Slimposee una colecciónimpresionante de obras de arte,incluidas esculturas del célebrefrancés Auguste Rodin, perotrabaja en unas oficinas másbien sencillas, cuyo diseño ydecoración parecen datar de ladécada de 1970.

Tras cursar estudios deingeniería civil, Slim seespecializó en comprarempresas en problemas ocompañías estatales que seprivatizaron, sin limitarse a unsolo giro. Luego las sacaba aflote y las revendía con grandesmárgenes de ganancias.

Ese talento para descubrir elpotencial de negociosdevaluados le ha servidomucho, particularmentedespués de las caídas recientesen el mercado bursátil.

“En épocas de crisis, élsiempre ha invertido y ahora seempiezan a ver los frutos”, dijoElías Ayub.

Sin embargo, algunosmexicanos no están muycontentos de que la fortuna deSlim sea considerada la máscuantiosa del mundo en unmomento en que el paísatraviesa por la crisis

económica, un desempleofuerte y un deterioro en lascondiciones de vida de buenaparte de la población.

“Es una verg Juenza... esparte de lo mal que está elsistema político mexicano ylas ‘corruptelas’ del círculo delpoder, donde hay sólo unoscuantos ricos y millonespobres... A Slim todo se lepermite... todo se le tolera ytodo se le facilita”, dijo ErnestoVillanueva, de 45 años.

Otros, en cambio,

reconocen las virtudes de Slim.“Está bien... por sus logros

está ahí... El supo llegar hastadonde está y nosotros comopueblo no hemos sabidounirnos siempre; somosindividualistas... no le veo nadade malo”, dijo ManuelSantibáñez, estudiante de 17años.

Blankfeld dijo que la lista delos 10 hombres más ricos,correspondiente a 2010, reflejala presencia cada vez másrelevante de los países en

desarrollo. Además de Slim,incluye a dos multimillonariosde India y a uno de Brasil.

Las donaciones realizadaspor Gates y Buffet incidierontambién en su caída al segundoy tercer lugar, respectivamente.

“Un motivo importante deello es que ambos hacen muchalabor filantrópica”, explicóBlankfeld.

March 10, 2010 (AP):Groups pushing for robustLatino participation in the2010 census announced anew campaign Thursday inL.A. that aims to reach thehard-to-count demographicthrough its smart-phone-tot-ing youngsters.

The “Be Counted, Rep-resent” campaign offersmusic downloads and achance at concert tickets tocell phone users who sharetheir e-mail addresses andphone numbers with orga-nizers and forward informa-tion about the census to theirfriends.

Principal organizers VotoLatino and the MexicanAmerican Legal Defense andEducational Fund(MALDEF) stress in theirmessages that undercountedareas risk losing funding fortransit, infrastructure andother needs, as well as politi-cal representation.

They hope those mes-sages promoting participa-tion in the count will zipthroughout the social net-

WASHINGTON, D.C., el 9de marzo del 2010 (AP): Lamitad de los niños que nacenen Estados Unidos son degrupos minoritarios, lo queforma parte de una tendenciahistórica según la cual lasminorías se convertirán en lamayoría en el transcurso delos próximos 40 años.

De hecho, expertos endemografía señalan que esteaño el número de bebés de lasminorías podría superar aaquellos nacidos de padresblancos, y los hispanosdesempeñan un papel claveen esa posibilidad.

Los números han crecidodebido a la inmigración haciaEstados Unidos que hadisparado el número demujeres hispanas en edad dereproducción. Las minoríastuvieron el 48% de los niñosnacidos en Estados Unidos enel 2008 en comparación con37% en 1990, según las cifrasmás recientes del censo.

“Las proyecciones delcenso sugieren que EstadosUnidos será un país donde lamayoría serán las minoríashacia la mitad del siglo. Paralos niños estadounidenses, elfuturo es ahora”, dijo KennethJohnson un profesor desociología de la Universidadde Nueva Hampshire, quieninvestigó muchas de lastendencias raciales para unestudio publicado elmiércoles.

Johnson explicó que ahorahay más mujeres hispanas enedad reproductiva, quetienden a tener más niños quelas de otros grupos. A su vez,más mujeres blancas esperana cumplir una mayor edad an-

works of youngsters who canpersuade their parents to fillout and return their censusforms.

“You’re looked at by many,many, many people as beingpowerful when it comes tomoney that they can line theirpockets with,” actress RosarioDawson, a Voto Latino co-founder, told teenagers gath-ered in the library of a pre-dominantly Latino highschool. “When it’s money thatcan line your pockets, no oneever says anything. But we’resaying something.”

The campaign offers apackage of 25 music down-loads curated for a youngLatino audience to cell phoneusers who share their zip codes,e-mail addresses and cellphone numbers with theprogram’s organizers. Thedownloads include songs bysuch artists as Pitbull, MosDef, and Morrissey.

Users can get also get songsby taking census quizzes on asmart phone application thatthey download.

If they invite their friends

to download the application,they’re entered into a rafflefor tickets to a “secret con-cert” to be held in the LosAngeles area in April.

Anyone can participate,although the campaign isaimed at teens and 20-some-things.

Organizers said such mea-sures are a way to get throughto an ethnic group that hasbeen hard for census officialsto reach because of indiffer-ence, language barriersand—for some—deportationfears.

Alejandro Fernández, an18-year-old L.A. high schoolsenior, who attended the an-nouncement, said he plannedto download the census ap-plication on his Web-en-abled phone and would shareit with friends who will spreadthe word to their parents.

“They’ll be exposed towhat the census is really aboutand not be scared,” he said.

Joe Martínez, who will beattending Tiffin Universityin Ohio on a wrestling schol-arship, agrees.

tes de tener niños, pero aún nose sabe con exactitud si estotendrá un efecto significativoen la tendencia actual, quemuestra una proporcióncreciente de recién nacidos delas minorías.

Las cifras destacan lacreciente división racial ygeneracional en el país, que sepuede observar en bloques decomunidades a lo largo deEstados Unidos, lo que podríaaumentar las tensiones en tornoa temas delicados como lareforma migratoria, losservicios de atención médica,la educación y la seguridadsocial.

Esto también tiene unefecto sobre el conteo del censodel 2010, que comienza lasemana que viene, cuando másde 120 millones de hogaresestadounidenses recibirán losformularios en el correo.

La Oficina del Censo estáhaciendo anuncios públicosesta semana para incluir a másniños pequeños,especialmente de gruposminoritarios, quienes en otrasoportunidades no han sidocontados. El censo se realizauna vez por década.

En la campaña publicitariaaparece “Dora, laExploradora”, el personajeanimado de Nickelodeon quehabla inglés y español,ayudando a su mamá a llenarlas planillas del censo.

Las estadísticas obtenidasmediante el censo son tomadasen cuenta a la hora de distribuirla ayuda del gobierno federaly redibujar los límiteslegislativos en busca de unamayor equidad racial y étnica,como lo disponen las leyes

federales.“Los adultos mismos a veces

olvidan que el censo es paratodos, y que los niños debencontarse”, señaló el director dela Oficina del Censo, RobertGroves. “Si no contamos al bebéque nació este mes, ese reciénnacido pierde todos losbeneficios del censo por lospróximos 10 años”.

Actualmente, los blancosconforman dos tercios de todala población estadounidense.Cálculos del censo recientesapuntan a que las minorías nosuperarán a los blancos sinohasta el 2050.

Ahora mismo, en alrededorde uno de cada 10 de los 3.142condados, las minoríascomprenden más del 50% de lapoblación total. Sin embargo,en una de cada cuatrocomunidades las minoríastienen más niños que lapoblación blanca o casi lossuperan, según el estudio co-publicado por Johnson.

En promedio, las mujereshispanas tienen tres niños,mientras que las otras tienendos. Las cifras señalan que lashispanas tienen 2,99 hijos, lasblancas 1,87, las afroamericanas2,13 y las asiáticas 2,04.Asimismo, el número demujeres blancas en edadreproductiva está en picada,disminuyendo un 19% desde1990.

March 10, 2010: Michi-gan schools will receivehundreds of millions ofdollars in new recovery sta-bilization funds, U.S. Sens.Carl Levin and DebbieStabenow, both D-Mich.,announced.

The $429,781,767awarded by the U.S. Depart-ment of Education wasmade available by theAmerican Recovery and Re-investment Act to continuesupporting educationalprograms across the state.

“Recovery act fundshave been key in keepingour schools open and mak-ing sure children across thestate have teachers in their

classrooms,” Levin said.“This funding is absolutelycritical to ensure that stu-dents in our schools are pro-tected from the worst im-pacts of the recession, andthat jobs are protected andcreated across the state.”

“This funding is vital toour state’s education sys-tem during these difficulteconomic times,” saidStabenow. “By keeping ourteachers and school staff atwork and our schools open,we can help ensure thatMichigan children continueto receive an education.”

The state of Michiganhas used past stabilizationfunds to create or save 9,300

education jobs while sup-porting other educationalreform programs.

To qualify for this fund-ing, the state had to providedata on education reform tothe Department of Educa-tion, including on how edu-cators are evaluated, to whatextent the state tracks stu-dent performance andgrowth, and the extent towhich underperformingschools are improving.

ARIES: MARCH 21 - APRIL 20Lots of people have entered you life and as many have

left it. As you contemplate how things seem to come andgo you’re beginning to see that your only job is to figureout how to remain at the center of it.

TAURUS: APRIL 21 - MAY 20You don’t know whether to put a stop to this or let the

fates handle it. As much as you hate having to deal withthe lo-ball tactics of others, you know for sure that life willcatch up with them sooner or later.

GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 20Whatever you’re looking at now is the sum total of

whatever you’ve turned a blind eye to. Everything getsmore complicated when we avoid it. It’ll take some fancyfootwork to turn this around.

CANCER: JUNE 21 - JULY 20More recent scenarios have entwined you in things

that make you wonder why you got involved. Thesedistractions aren’t as crucial as you make them; calmdown. Whatever this is about, it’ll blow over before youknow it.

LEO: JULY 21 - AUGUST 20There’s a lot to be said for maintaining your bound-

aries but you’ve gone over board. Too many thingssuggest that you’re too open or too closed. Lost and outof balance either way, it’s time to find a happy medium.

VIRGO: AUGUST 21 - SEPTEMBER 20Don’t try to exert your influence in situations where

other people’s power trips are over the top. Who are youkidding? Wait until they get over themselves and opentheir eyes to the fact that you have the right idea.

LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 21 - OCTOBER 20Feeling restless at a time when you need to stay put is

making you crazy. It’s too bad you can’t accept the waythings are. From the looks of things you’ll be stuck herefor a while; learn to enjoy it.

SCORPIO: OCTOBER 21 - NOVEMBER 20The need to possess anything inevitably drives it

away. Give everyone in your life a long leash and let themrun with it. Trust that this will deepen your connectionand strengthen your faith in each other.

SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 20This situation involves too much risk or not enough of

it. Either way, you’re crazy to take it on. Going too far toofast is no different than going nowhere. Reconsider youroptions; this ain’t what you need.

CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 20None of this is as bad or as good as it looks. You can’t

trust your senses at the moment. Seeing what you want tosee might prompt you to wonder what the difference isbetween that and what’s really going on.

AQUARIUS: JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 20Cutting to the chase wouldn’t be a bad idea; you’ve

been beating around the bush for God knows how long.Why is it so hard for you to come down to earth and openlyexpress your wants and needs in this situation?

PISCES: FEBRUARY 21 - MARCH 20It doesn’t matter what people think. The reason you’re

not there anymore is because you don’t see eye to eye.Their opinion about your behavior would seem to beirrelevant at this point. Stop obsessing about it.

More than 60 undocu-mented immigrants stood atthe altar of Nueva Luz Churchof the Nazarene fighting backtears and silently pleading forsupport in their hope to reformimmigration policies.

Toddlers and adults leanedon each other as they held singsrequesting raids be stopped,deportations halted and fami-lies kept intact.

The call to action event heldon March 11, 2010 put a face toimmigrants and drew nearly200 people to the little church.

“Nobody is going to seeheaven without a letter of rec-ommendation from the un-documented,” said guestspeaker Dr. Miguel A. De LaTorre, associate professor ofChristian ethics and director ofthe Justice and Peace Instituteat Iliff School of Theology inDenver, Co.

Cuban born De La Torresaid the current anti-immi-grants fail to see the historicalcontext in which migrantsleave their homes, struggle tosurvive across the border.“Some say they come for free-dom, others say they come touse up all our resources, theyare both wrong,” he said.

“I am here because of U.S.policies against my country,”he added, explaining the co-vert CIA coups of democrati-cally elected Cuban govern-ments before the island becamea state directed by Fidel Castro.De La Torre said U.S. continu-ous interference in LatinAmerican countries andaround the world to protect itseconomic interests has alsoindirectly made it a prime des-tination for immigrants.

MEXICO, el 13 demarzo del 2010 (AP): Unnuevo conjunto de canchasdel juego de pelotaprehispánico seránconstruidas en la Ciudadde México, informaronautoridades el viernes.

El juego era unaceremonia importante paralas culturas precolombinasde la región de México,

(NAFTA)signed be-t w e e nCanada ,México ,and theU n i t e dStates, is ap r i m a r yreason forMexican immigrants crossingthe border without documen-tation as it hiked the cost ofliving in México and nearlywiping out corn-farmers, forc-ing them to work at factoriesfor $5 a day.

“At the same time NAFTAwas signed the governmentalso implemented ‘OperationGatekeeper’ which closedentry points forcing people totake the dangerous dessertroute,” he said. De La Torreadded the U.S. governmentwas aware that many liveswould be lost and expecteddeath to be a deterrent to un-documented immigration.“Death of brown bodies in thedessert is the biggest humanrights violation happening inthe U.S. today,” he said.

Reminding the audienceof the Good Samaritan, De LaTorre said that standing forjustice for immigrants was aduty of all Christians, “Weneed to ask: what is my re-sponsibility as a human be-ing?”

Reverend Tony Minor saidthe struggle for just immigra-tion reform is reminiscence ofthe civil rights movementsthat experienced severe back-lash; “We are in this struggletogether, black, Latino,Asian.”

Rev. Minor outlined foursteps for a cohesive move-ment. “One: know your rights,and know the issues,” he said;encourage the youth to un-derstand the context becausethey will become tomorrow’spolicy makers.

“Two: widen your allies;we cannot do this alonewhether it is about housing,employment or education; itis all tied together,” he said.Third factor: is courage tostand up; “know when youstand up you are not alone.”Fourth: keep fear of God andbelieve the cause is just. “God

will fight our battles,” said Rev.Minor.

Dennis Seaman and Jenni-fer L. Peyton, attorneys at law,explained basic rights grantedthat all immigrants should beaware of—such as the right toonly provide your name andremain silent. Peyton said thatin certain areas of Ohio localpolice officers are being al-lowed to carry out Federal lawwhich they are untrained in.“So they depend on what theysee,” she said.

Veronica Isabel Dahlberg,director of Hispanic Organiza-tions of Lake and Ashtabula,said the government is deter-mined to deport and separatefamilies that have resided inOhio for decades and they donot hesitate to incarcerate any-one stopped in traffic viola-tions.

The Oak Openings, a dis-tinctive northwest Ohio prai-rie region created by Ice Ageglaciers, harbors a wide rangeof endangered wildlife andplant species. A portion ofthis ecologically unique andsandy region is protectedthanks to the contributionsby Ohioans to the NaturalAreas State Income TaxCheck-off Program.

Two state nature pre-serves play an important rolein preserving this uniquehabitat, located primarily insouthwest Lucas County, the226-acre Irwin Prairie and the210-acre Louis CampbellPreserve.

The region’s unusualblend of sand and clay soilscan be attributed to the greatglacial lake that covered thearea about 10,000 years ago.As the glacier melted and thelake’s water retreated north-ward, it left deposits of sand 5to 15 feet deep over the un-derlying clay.

Where the sand was thin,the soil was left low andswampy. Where the sand wasthick, the soil became dryand acidic. Today, more than1,000 species of plants aregrowing in the Oak Open-ings region.

Irwin Prairie, a wet prairiein Spencer Township domi-nated by sedges and grasses,is an excellent habitat forobserving migrating song-

birds and waterfowl and amosaic of plant communities.Tall grass prairie plants likebig bluestem and spiked blaz-ing star; sedge meadow plantslike twig-rush, slender sedgegrass and northern reed-grass,all can be found here.

The preserve hosts morethan two-dozen plants on thestate’s list of rare and threat-ened species, including redbaneberry, fringed gentian,Great Lakes goldenrod, prai-rie rattlesnake root and grass-leaf arrowhead. State-listedanimals include the sedgewren, least bittern and a num-ber of rare turtles and butter-flies, such as the purplish cop-per butterfly.

These natural attractions atIrwin Prairie are more acces-sible to the public today thanksto an observation tower andboardwalk built with dona-tions to the Natural Areas StateIncome Tax Check-off Pro-gram.

Louis Campbell State Na-ture Preserve in Lucas County’s Springfield Township con-tains many rare, endangeredand threatened plant species.A combination of sandy andmarshy habitat allows 47 rareplants and animals to flourishin the preserve. Spathulate-leaved sundew, grass-pink or-chid, twisted yellow-eyedgrass and mountain phlox areamong the endangered plantsthriving here.

Donations to the check-off program were used topurchase more than half ofLouis Campbell State Na-ture Preserve. This preservewas once only open for visi-tation by permit, however,because of recent site im-provements funded by check-off donations, it is now opendaily.

Helping to protect Ohio’sspecial places, such as theOak Openings, is easy. Asimple checkmark on line18B (1040-EZ) or line 25B(1040) of the state incometax return form can help en-sure the future of Ohio ’s richnatural heritage.

Those who are not eli-gible to receive a refund maysend a check to the ODNRDivision of Natural Areas andPreserves at 2045 MorseRoad, Building C-3, Colum-bus, Ohio 43229-6693.

Another way to supportOhio’s state nature preservesystem is through the pur-chase of the new Nature Pre-serves conservation licenseplate. Plates may be pur-chased through a local regis-trar, online at oplates.com orby calling 1-888-PLATES3.

The most important dayfor fourth-year medical stu-dents at The University ofToledo since they were ac-cepted to medical school isThursday, March 18, 2010.

That day, known asMatch Day, medical stu-dents across the countrywill simultaneously learnwhere they will train dur-ing their medical residen-cies. The annual event de-termines where studentswill spend the next three toseven years of their lives.

UT students will meet at11:30 a.m. in the Great Hall

of Stranahan Theater, 4645Heatherdowns Blvd., andmatch results will be revealedat noon during an envelope-opening ceremony.

Most of the students havespent months interviewingat residency programs acrossthe country, searching for theideal place to practice theirchosen specialties. Studentsranked their top choices andhospitals ranked their topstudent choices. Then a com-puter program administeredby the National ResidentMatching Program puts thestudents and hospitals to-

gether.T h e

medicalstudentsare anx-ious forthe re-sults because residencieslast between three to sevenyears depending on the spe-cialties, so where studentsmatch can have a majorimpact on their training andtheir lives. Residents arelicensed physicians whocare for patients under thesupervision of attendingphysicians.

A day of hands-on experi-ments and activities at theUniversity of Toledo aims toencourage more high schoolgirls to pursue math and sci-ence careers.

Girls in Science Day, thefirst of what coordinators hopewill become an annual event,invites more than 45 highschool sophomores and jun-iors to explore the fields ofengineering, chemistry andphysics and astronomy withUT women professors, admin-istrators and students.

“Regardless of how hardwe try to tell them, those fieldsare still known as being malefields and that could be a turnoff,” said Isabel Escobar, UTassociate professor of chemi-cal and environmental engi-neering.

Maybe checking out theWind Tunnel at the Collegeof Engineering, exploring theRitter Planetarium andBrooks Observatory, andmaking smoking bubbles andother experiments in a chem-

istry lab will turn the girls onto the STEMM fields of sci-ence, technology, engineer-ing, math, and medicine.

The high school girls willbe on campus from 8:30 a.m.to 2 p.m. Friday, March 19,2010, to have those experi-ences.

Most of the girls attendToledo Public Schools, in-cluding Rogers, Woodward,and Start high schools, as wellas Toledo Early College HighSchool that is located on theUT Scott Park Campus of En-ergy and Innovation.

Central Catholic HighSchool, Ottawa Hills HighSchool, Springfield HighSchool, and Delta HighSchool also were invited toparticipate.

Dr. Rosemary Haggett, UTMain Campus provost andexecutive vice president foracademic affairs, will wel-come the girls to campus atthe beginning of the event.

“Involvement in the sci-ences can lead to so many

exciting and rewarding op-portunities and experiences,”said Dr. Haggett, who hasserved as an administratorwith the National ScienceFoundation, dean of Agricul-ture, Forestry and ConsumerSciences at West VirginiaUniversity, and a biology pro-fessor. “I encourage all girlsinterested in science, mathand technology to pursuethose interests and really en-joy the opportunities thosepursuits provide.”

The Catharine S. EberlyCenter for Women and North-west Chapter of the Associa-tion of Women in Science arethe primary sponsors of theGirls in Science Day. A giftfrom immunologist Dr.Philippa Marrack, whospoke on campus last year,helped make the event pos-sible.

Girls in Science Day is anexpansion of outreachCharlene Gilbert, director ofthe Eberly Center, beganwhen she came to UT in 2007and was surprised to learnonly 16 percent of students inthe STEMM fields at the Uni-versity were women.

“The opportunitiesabound for strong careers inthe STEMM fields and I wantto make sure women are notleft out,” Gilbert said.

The center created theWISE mentoring program,which stands for Women inSTEMM Excelling, to helpsupport UT’s female studentsin those fields. The Girls inScience Day will take it a stepfurther and reach girls in highschool with the WISE stu-dents on hand to interact withthe girls.

WASHINGTON, D.C.,March 13, 2010 (AP):President Barack Obamaon Saturday promised torewrite the nation’s sweep-ing and controversial edu-cation law known as NoChild Left Behind with aplan to prepare studentsfor life after high schooland to place better teach-ers at the blackboards.

Obama said he wouldsend U.S. Congress his pro-posed overhaul of the 2001education law that focusedon accountability in theclassroom but has fallenshort of its original goals.The announcement’s tim-ing suggests Obama islooking beyond the healthcare proposal that still lin-gers in Congress, has de-layed the president’s in-ternational trip next weekand threatens his party’selectoral prospects in No-vember.

Educat ion—unl ikeproposed financial regu-latory reform or environ-mental laws also on Con-gress’ radar—is a kitchen-table issue certain to reso-nate with voters lookingat Republicans seeking toretake both chambers ofCongress in the midtermelections. Local class-rooms trump vague regu-lations, and few opposethe principle of improv-ing education.

MADRID, March 12,2010 (AP): Miguel Delibes,an acclaimed and prolificnovelist whose work fea-tured gritty depictions ofrural life in post-civil warSpain and psychologicalanalyses of characters fac-ing turning points, diedFriday. He was 89.

Delibes, who had beenfighting cancer of the co-lon for several years, diedat his home in the northcentral city of Valladolidshortly around 7 a.m.(0800GMT), Spanish Na-tional Radio said, citinghis family.

Speaking on the radio,Education Minister AngelGabilondo said “We mustremember him as a goodperson and a great writer.”

Delibes started off as acartoonist for a provincialnewspaper before becom-ing a reporter, editor andfinally a novelist in a ca-reer spanning more than50 years, culminating inhis winning the Spanish-speaking world’s top liter-ary award, the CervantesPrize, in 1993, among otheraccolades. He was also amember of the SpanishRoyal Academy, the offi-cial watchdog of the Span-ish language.

“I feel sorry that therewas not enough time forhim to win the Nobel, be-cause he was one of thoseauthors who deserved it,said Culture Minister An-geles Gonzalez-Sinde.

“He was a much-readwriter, incredibly prolificand also a great inspirationfor other artists,” she said.

excellence or show realprogress will be rewarded,and local districts will beencouraged to commit tochange in schools that areclearly letting their studentsdown,” Obama said in hisweekly radio and Internetaddress.

“For the majority ofschools that fall in between—schools that do well but coulddo better—we will encour-age continuous improve-ment to help keep our youngpeople on track for a brightfuture, prepared for the jobsof the 21st century.”

Although Obama’sweekly address was short onspecifics, the president hasbeen clear he is eyeingsweeping change. He hasalready been using federalmoney as leverage to pushschools to raise standards andprepare more children forcollege or work.

He included $3.5 billionin last year’s economicstimulus bill to help low-performing schools and hasproposed $900 million forstates and school districts thatagree to drastically changeor even shutter their worst-performing schools.

The administration alsoproposed setting aside $50million for dropout preven-tion programs, including per-sonalized and individual in-struction and support to keepstudents engaged in learn-ing, and using data to iden-tify students at risk of failure

and help them with the tran-sition to high school andcollege.

Only about 70 percentof entering high schoolfreshmen go on to gradu-ate. The problem affectsblacks and Latinos at par-ticularly high rates.

Obama sought to as-suage critics of the law whocomplain the current designis heavy-handed and tooreliant on Washington. Hesaid states and localschools—not Washington,D.C.—would lead the wayto change No Child LeftBehind.

“What this plan recog-nizes is that while the fed-eral government can play aleading role in encourag-ing the reforms and highstandards we need, the im-petus for that change willcome from states and fromlocal schools and schooldistricts,” Obama said. “So,yes, we set a high bar. Butwe also provide educatorsthe flexibility to reach it.”

That rhetoric is popularin local districts, whereparents like their children’steachers but remain dubi-ous of Washington.

“Si no, prepararnos parala Copa América del 2019que sí nos correspondeorganizar”, agregó Mayne-Nicholls.

El terremoto grado 8,8 yel tsunami del 27 de febrerodejaron casi 500 muertos ygrandes destrozos en lainfraestructura.

Mayne-Nicholls señalóque el torneo Aperturachileno se reanudará el finde semana, luego de sersuspendido tras el sismo.

city ofValladolidin theCastilianheartlandof centralSpain, andhis deeproots thereand loveof rurall i f e — h ewas an avid hunter andwrote often about it—sur-faced repeatedly in hisbooks.

One of his most popularones, “Los SantosInocentes,” published in1981, illustrates the impov-erished existence of peas-ants living under a selfishand wealthy landowner. Ina dramatic scene near theend, a simple-minded peas-ant rigs a trap that hangs therich man after he shoots thepeasant’s pet bird with ahunting rifle. The book wasmade into a movie in 1984by Spanish director MarioCamus.

Another of Delibes’ mostpopular works was “CincoHoras with Mario” (FiveHours with Mario), pub-lished in 1966, in which awidow sitting by herhusband’s coffin musesover their time together andcritiques the beliefs and so-cial mores of provincial life.

Delibe was somewhat ofa hermit, shunning lime-light and crowds.

“I like open spaces. I likenature, and I also like toconverse with my col-leagues, face to face, or withtwo of them, or three, but nomore,” Delibes said in aninterview published in

1986.In his acceptance

speech when he won theCervantes prize, Delibeslooked back on his careerand said life goes byquicker for writers becausethey spend so much timeinside the heads of theircharacters, neglectingtheir own existence.

He noted that the pro-tagonist of one his booksonce commented to anolder co-worker, aged 70,that “if I were that age Iwould die of fright.”

“Now I must admit Ihave that same age,”Delibes said in the speech.“How is this possible?”

The Cervantes Insti-tute said Delibes’ passionfor the countryside—andhunting—had given hima true feel for the declineof rural life and the fragil-ity of the environment.

“It is not going too farto say that this hunter whowrites measures his pas-sions with a shotgun rest-ing on his shoulder, and inthis he finds joy, anxietiesand even fineness ofspirit,” the institute saidin a biography of Delibes.

Details of funeral ar-rangements were not im-mediately available.
