Our Comunidad President George W. Bush Calls on Congressional Support of U.S.Colombia Free Trade Agreement During Address to U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Presidente George W. Bush pide apoyo al Congreso para aprobación de Acuerdo de Libre Comercio entre Estados Unidos y Colombia en su discurso ante la Cámara de Comercio Hispana de los Estados Unidos

President thanks Hispanic entrepreneurial spirit and role in creating jobs

Mandatario estadounidense agradece el espíritu empresarial hispano y su papel en la creación de empleos

President George W. Bush, White House Cabinet members and Colombia Ambassador Carolina Barco joined the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) for a special White House Issues Briefing for Hispanic business leaders. The event was held during the USHCC’s Legislative Conference in Washington, DC which gathered several hundred business owners for key visits with legislators.

El presidente George W. Bush, conjuntamente con miembros del Gabinete de la Casa Blanca y de Carolina Barco, Embajadora de Colombia en los Estados Unidos, participaron con la Cámara de Comercio Hispana de los Estados Unidos (USHCC) en una Reunión Especial Informativa de la Casa Blanca para los líderes de negocios hispanos. El evento se llevó a cabo en el marco de la Conferencia Legislativa de USHCC en Washington, D.C., en la que se congregaron varios cientos de dueños de negocios para realizar encuentros claves con los legisladores. Durante sus comentarios acerca del Acuerdo de Libre Comercio entre Estados Unidos y Colombia, el Presidente le expresó su agradecimiento a USHCC por su apoyo en temas legislativos de suma importancia como la Ley “Ningún niño a la zaga” (No Child Left Behind Act), la reforma de inmigración, y el Acuerdo de Libre Comercio entre los Estados Unidos y Perú. “Como líderes de negocios, ustedes comprenden que la eliminación de los obstáculos al comercio y la inversión crea oportunidades para nuestros trabajadores, para los trabajadores estadounidenses, y para los empleadores y consumidores”, afirmó el mandatario estadounidense. El presidente Bush destacó el papel que ha desempeñado su administración en priorizar al máximo el comercio internacional, y en la expansión de los acuerdos suscritos por la nación, de tres a catorce países. Además, enfatizó en que espera la aprobación de dichos acuerdos. “Como los principales defensores de los más de dos millones y medio de negocios de propiedad hispana, nos sentimos

During his comments on the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, the President thanked USHCC for its support on key legislative issues including the No Child Left Behind Act, immigration reform, and the U.S.-Peru Trade Agreement. He added, “As business leaders, you understand that breaking down barriers to trade and investment creates opportunities for our workers, for American workers, and employees, and employers and consumers.” President Bush highlighted his administration’s role in making international trade a high priority and expanding the nation’s agreements from three countries to fourteen. He noted that he is looking forward to approval of these agreements. “As the leading advocate for our nation’s more than 2.5 million Hispanic-owned businesses, we are greatly honored that President Bush has ad-

dressed our assembly of Hispanic business leaders from across the country for the third time,” said USHCC Board Chairman David C. Lizárraga. “As in past years, we look forward to working with the White House to shape policy for the nation’s Hispanic business community and to serve as a platform for key policy issues concerning small- and medium-sized businesses that are vital contributors.” Other White House Cabinet members participating in the event included Secretary of Defense Bob Gates, Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson, Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer, Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, and Susan Schwab of the USTR, Office of the Trade Representative. The Annual Legislative Conference brings together the nation’s top business owners, opinion leaders and key governmental and administration officials for a three-day gathering to address the most pressing legislative concerns of the nation’s largest and fastest growing business segment—Hispanic entrepreneurs. Expansion of hemispheric relations and trade, health care, energy efficiency, and small business programs are among the many issues receiving top billing at this year’s Legislative Conference. (HPRW)

grandemente honrados de que el presidente Bush haya pronunciado por tercera vez un discurso ante nuestra asamblea de líderes de negocios hispanos de todo el país”, afirmó David Lizárraga, presidente de la Junta Directiva de USHCC. “Como en años anteriores, esperamos trabajar con la Casa Blanca a fin de conformar la política para la comunidad de negocios hispana, y servir de plataforma para tratar temas de máxima importancia en beneficio de las empresas pequeñas y medianas, que contribuyen de forma vital a la economía de nuestra nación”. Entre otros funcionarios del Gabinete de la Casa Blanca que participaron en el evento estuvieron Bob Gates, Secretario de Defensa; Hank Paulson, Secretario del Tesoro; Ed Schafer, Secretario de Agricultura; Carlos Gutiérrez, Secretario de Comercio; Elaine Chao, Secretaria de Trabajo, y Susan Schwab, de la Oficina del Representante de Comercio de los Estados Unidos (USTR). La Conferencia Legislativa unifica a los principales dueños de negocios, representantes de cámaras de comercio, líderes de opinión y funcionarios de la administración de la nación en tres días de reuniones, para intercambiar puntos de vista acerca de las preocupaciones legislativas más urgentes de la nación y de los empresarios hispanos, el segmento de negocios mayor y de más rápido crecimiento del país. Entre los principales temas que acaparan la atención en la Conferencia Legislativa de este año figuran las relaciones y el comercio hemisférico, los cuidados de salud, la eficiencia energética y los programas para pequeñas empresas.(HPRW)

Big Brothers Big Sisters of America launches national call to action to recruit thousands of hispanic mentors Yet with thousands of Hispanic “Littles” waiting to be matched with a caring Big Sister or Brother, the organization is in serious need of Hispanic volunteers to serve as “Bigs.” “When Juan came to the United States as a youngster from El Salvador he felt totally alone. Memory of that sense of isolation was a driving factor in wanting to give back to a child facing a similar experience. After a year of being matched with Big Brother Juan, Little Brother Alberto of Harrisonburg Virginia blossomed out of shyness. In Phoenix, Little Brother Jose is grateful to Big Brother Pablo for his support during the death of both of his parents. In Lorain Ohio Little Sister Ariana turned bad grades around dramatically within only a few weeks of being matched with Big Sister Crystal,” said Delgado Searl. “These are a few of the countless examples of Big Brothers Big Sisters’ impact on children.

(HPRW) An ambitious pilot program has reaped a 29 percent increase in the number of Hispanics served by Big Brothers Big Sisters over the course of a year. The increase in Hispanic matches – occurring in 15 participating Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in the U.S. where the program was piloted – is significant considering the average growth in matches among Big Brothers Big Sisters ‘ 400+ agencies was eight percent during the same time period. Excited by the potential to impact even more Hispanic children, Big Brothers Big Sisters announced the hire of a director of Hispanic mentoring to lead the organization’s ambitious commitment to add another 10,000 Hispanic matches for a total of 50,000 across the country.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of America anuncia llamado nacional para reclutar a miles de mentores hispanos Un ambicioso programa experimental ha generado un aumento de 29 por ciento en el numero de hispanos que han sido ayudados por Big Brothers Big Sisters (Hermanos Mayores Hermanas Mayores) durante el curso de un año. El aumento en el servicio de mentores hispanos – el cual se esta tomando acabo en 15 agencias participantes de Big Brothers Big Sisters por todo el país en donde el programa fue experimentado – es significante considerando que el aumento promedio fue ocho por ciento durante ese mismo periodo. Entusiasmados por la posibilidad de impactar a más niños hispanos, Big Brothers Big Sisters anuncio que contrato a una directora de mentores hispanos para liderar el compromiso ambicioso de la organización y aumentar el número de pares creados por un mentor y un joven hasta 10,000 para un total de 50,000 pares por todo el país. Sandra Delgado Searl, una profesional en mercadeo con experiencia internacional, ha sido seleccionada para encabezar el llamado de acción para Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, la organización de mentores para la juventud más establecida, grande y eficaz del país. Oriunda de Puerto Rico, Delgado Searl recientemente se mudó de Shanghai, China antes de ingresar a Big Brothers Big Sisters en Philadelphia, PA. Durante sus empleos anteriores con J.D. Power Asia Pacific, SABMiller y ACNielsen, Delgado Searl ha dirigido programas de mercadeo hispano y el desarrollo e implementación de estrategia de marca. “Las habilidades de liderazgo y el gran conocimiento de la comunidad hispana hacen a Sandra en la candidata perfecta para encabezar nuestro esfuerzo sumamente enfocado de mentores hispanos. El cual, actualmente, es una de las estrategias más efectivas en aumentar pares de mentores y jóvenes -- sin importar etnicidad”, dijo Judy Vredenburgh, Presidenta y CEO de Big Brothers Big Sisters. Estudios independientes demuestran que jóvenes que tienen un mentor Big Brother o Big Sister tienen más probabilidad de continuar con sus estudios y son menos propensos de involucrarse en violencia. Dado al aumento en población de la comunidad hispana combinado con un nivel desproporcionado de pobreza e índices de abandono escolar, un mentor Big Brother o Big Sister puede hacer una diferencia crítica en el futuro de los niños

hispanos a través del país. Sin embargo, con tantos jóvenes, conocidos como “littles” (pequeños), esperando ser emparejados con un mentor Big Sister o Brother, la organización necesita voluntarios hispanos que sirvan como consejeros o mentores, también conocidos como “Bigs”. “Cuando Juan vino a los Estados Unidos, siendo un joven de El Salvador, se sintió completamente solo. La memoria de ese sentimiento de aislamiento fue un factor importante en su deseo de ayudar a un niño pasando por una experiencia similar. Después de un año de tener a Juan como su Big Brother (Hermano Mayor), Little Brother (Hermanito) Alberto de Harrisonburg, Virginia dejo su timidez atrás. En Phoenix, Little Brother Jose está agradecido hacia su Big Brother Pablo por el apoyo que le dio durante la muerte de sus padres. En Lorain, Ohio Little Sister (Hermanita) Ariana mejoro sus malas calificaciones dramáticamente dentro de semanas de haber conocido a su Big Sister Crystal”, dijo Delgado Searl. “Estos son algunos de los ejemplos del impacto que tiene Big Brothers Big Sisters en los niños. Ahora solo imagínese el impacto de parear a miles de niños hispanos con mentores”. La clave en el aumento en pares hispanos en el programa es la variedad de iniciativas en dentro del programa de mentores hispanos. Por ejemplo, Big Brothers Big Sisters adapto su proceso de selección y crear pares a la cultura hispana y pusieron a prueba el nuevo modelo de mentores hispanos en un número de agencias locales por todo el país. Además, la organización creo un consejo de asesoría, estableció alianzas estratégicas con otras organizaciones hispanas, aumento los empleados bilingües y biculturales, ha colocado a hispanos en trabajos importantes en el programa nacional y ha desarrollado materiales de mercadeo dirigido a hispanos. El programa de mentores hispanos ha crecido a incluir 30 agencias de Big Brothers Big Sisters en localidades que reflejan la diversidad de la comunidad hispana incluyendo Chicago, Illinois, Macon, Georgia, Portland, Oregon, Miami, Florida, Denver, Colorado, y Fort Wayne, Indiana para nombrar unos cuantos. Apoyo para el programa es proveído por The Goizueta Foundation, Jack in the Box Foundation, Cargill, Inc., y la Oficinia de Justicia Juvenil y Prevención de Delincuencia, una división de la Oficina de Programas de Justicia del Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos.

Blige and JAY-Z will embark on a historic 25-date North American co-headlining tour, with a stop in Phoenix to perform at US Airways Center on Tuesday, April 15. The “Mary J. Blige & JAY-Z: Heart of the City” tour marks the first time in more than 15 years that an African American male/female bill of this stature have co-headlined a national concert tour. The Live Nation and Haymon Events produced tour kicks off on March 22nd at Miami’s American Airlines Arena and will hit major markets along the eastern seaboard as well as New Orleans, Houston, Las Vegas and Oakland. The “Mary J. Blige & JAY–Z: Heart of the City” tour is the pinnacle of Mary and Jay’s long-time collaboration which began in 1996 with the classic “Can’t Knock The Hustle.” The multi-Grammy award winning powerhouses are two of the most successful artists of our time whose influence stretch far beyond any musical borders. This will be JAY-Z’s first arena tour since his successful JAY-Z and Friends Tour in 2004 and the first to feature material from his 2006 Kingdom Come album and 2007’s critically acclaimed American Gangster album. A multiple Grammy, American Music Award and VMA award winner, JAY-Z has continued to set the bar for all artists and entrepreneurs. Co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, he currently is the president of Rocawear, part owner of the New Jersey Nets and co-owner of the successful 40/40 chain. Most recently, Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter held the title of President of Def Jam Records where he helped guide the careers of superstar artists and multiple Grammy nominees such as Rihanna, Ne-Yo, NAS, Kanye West and Young Jeezy. A six-time Grammy Award winner, Mary has won more than 25 awards in all, including NAACP Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, BET Awards, MTV’s Video Music Awards, Soul Train Awards and more.

Suerte from the

M ON

HOROSCOPE Aries March 19/20 to April 20/21

Aries March 19/20 to April 20/21

Dreams are strong, containing messages from the goddess Psyche. Pay close attention to her mystical commands and be sure to follow her lead. A super charge of extraneous imagination jumpstarts your desire for connection. Emotions bubble and steam. Take care to watch your levels and be prepared to clean up after explosions.

Taurus April 20/21 to May 21/22

Tauro April 20/21 to May 21/22

The new moon in Pisces on March 7 inspires freaky disagreeable behavior which elevates problems rather then bringing solutions. Place trust into your prophetic visions. The instinctive force of Uranus drives you to make unusual choices. Suddenly you feel drawn to a much different group. Go with it. Learning happens when you step outside the box.

Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23

Enough talk! The driving force of Mars struts into the nourishing sign of Cancer March 4 demanding you to put your nurture where your mouth is.

On March 13, the goddess Venus sachets into dreamy Pisces and joins the Sun. Mercury follows and turns our vision to loftier issues. Be careful how you react to the enticing signals flashing in your face. Breathe through challenges and curb your appetite. Recite your manifesto and exercise your promises. Ethical practices protect your emotional investments. Regular strengthening of your commitments ensures positive benefits. The longevity of human kind depends on our relationship to mother earth. Whether you have children or not you must place concern on the methods of raising and educating all of those in existence. It is time to wake up and recognize we are part of a great village. We must take responsibility for what is going on here. The themes of health and well-being continue to be important for all. Curb your desire to abuse your body and the planet. Stay motivated and strive to complete your obligations. Emotional outbursts happen in the days leading up to the full moon on March 21. Staying mindful of your health is a guaranteed way to avoid conflict. Explore your dark side. Write your daemons and paint your fears. The creative purging will cleanse your soul and support healthy choices in the weeks to come. Drive boldly forward using the information listed under your Sun Sign as a road for the month of March.

Channel brilliance into your plans by allowing your soft side to float to the surface. No need to be on the offensive. Quit running your head into the wall. Drop your guard and choose balance. Pay attention to details and thoroughly analyze all levels of each situation. Your pay off comes when you move smoothly through chaos allowing abundance to rain down on you.

Gemini May 21/22 to June 21/22

Gnawing sensitivity eats into you, begging for resolution. Patience is the only choice. Trust your intuition when the demand for an answer screams in your face. This leads your career in the right direction. Your disdain for conflict works against the goal of your desires. Face confrontation and break free of fear. Daring to go into realms you previously shied away from, proves that they were an illusion.

Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24

Keep your lips curled up into a smile. Stagnant energy holds you down. Happiness happens, when you believe. Work on issues close to you and give yourself time off from the outside world.

El cauce tiene su propio resplandor en tus planes, lo que permite que tu lado compasivo salga a flote. No necesitas ser ofensivo. Deja de golpear tu cabeza contra la pared. Baja la guardia y elige estar en equilibrio. Presta atención a los detalles y minuciosamente analiza todos los niveles de cada situación. Tu recompensa vendrá cuando poco a poco vayas atravesando el caos y esto permita que la abundancia caiga sobre ti.

Geminis May 21/22 to June 21/22

Tu intuición para presentir los malos momentos te carcome, lo que te conduce a rogar por una resolución. La paciencia es la única alternativa. Confía en tu intuición cuando la necesidad de una respuesta te grite en la cara. Esto guiará tu carrera en la dirección correcta. Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23 Tu desdén por el conflicto actúa en contra de la meta que deseas. Enfréntate y libérate del miedo. Atreverse a aproximarse al reino del que previamente ya habías escapado, prueba que todo fue una ilusión.

Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24

Mantén la sonrisa en tu boca. La energía estancada te domina. La felicidad ocurre, cuando crees en ella. Trabaja en las situaciones a las que estás próximo y date tiempo libre del mundo exterior.

Virgo August 23/24 to September 23/24

Libra September 23/24 to October 23/24

Suddenly, that which you dearly desire comes easily. Be sure to stay in the planning stage long enough to get exactly what you really want. Hind sight will only annoy you.

Put up your guard and proceed with caution. Higher voices are contacting you with guidance. Tune in and head their messages. Now you must trust rather then thinking you have all the answers.

Scorpio October 23/24 to November 22/23

Sweeten your voice to soothe your passage on potentially rocky roads. Smother dangerous sparks before they begin to smoulder. No need to put out fires if they never happen.

De repente, lo que tanto habías deseado llega con facilidad. Asegúrate de permanecer en la etapa de planeación el tiempo suficiente para obtener lo que realmente deseas. Levanta la guardia y procede con cautela. Voces de más arriba te guiarán. Sintonízate con ellas y sigue sus mensajes. Ahora debes confiar en lugar de pensar que tienes todas las respuestas.

Escorpio Oct. 23/24 to Nov. 22/23

Endulza tu voz para facilitar tu tránsito en caminos potencialmente inseguros. Apaga las chispas peligrosas antes de que empiecen a arder. No hay necesidad de apagar fuegos que nunca existieron.

Sagittarius Nov. 22/23 to Dec. 21/22

Sagitario Nov. 22/23 to Dec. 21/22

Capricorn Dec. 21/22 to Jan. 20/21

Capricornio Dec. 21/22 to Jan. 20/21

Aquarius Jan. 20/21 to Feb. 18/19

Acuario Jan. 20/21 to Feb. 18/19

Get out of your head and into the heart of the matter. Call on your courage to lift you above daily stresses. Spend less time fussing and more being joyfully active. Center your focus on the point of your desire. Charge forward and resolve to only turn back for guidance. Reminiscence is unhealthy when you feel mired rather then uplifted. Wobbly footing trips you up. Make use of the opportunity to retrace your steps. See this as a blessing. Be grateful to clean up past mistakes and discover important missing pieces of the puzzle.

Pisces February 18/19 to March 19/20

Finally it is easier to get what you want. Sudden inspiration magically lights your way. Reach for it and let go the poisoned darkness from you past.

Sal de tu propia cabeza y colócate en el meollo del asunto. Has uso de tu valentía para sobrellevar el estrés diario. Gasta menos tiempo en escándalos y empléalo en disfrutar de actividades. Concéntrate en el objetivo que deseas. Ataca y llega a una solución, mira hacia atrás sólo para obtener una guía. Los recuerdos son poco saludables cuando te sientes estancado en lugar de sentirte con ánimo. Pasos inseguros te hacen tropezar. Utiliza la oportunidad para volver en ellos. Considera esto como una bendición. Agradece el poder enmendar errores pasados y descubre piezas importantes que faltaban en el rompecabezas.

Piscis February 18/19 to March 19/20

Finalmente es más fácil obtener lo que deseas. De forma mágica una inspiración repentina alumbra tu camino. Alcánzala y aleja la venenosa oscuridad de tu pasado.

Remix Contest Winner Gets College Campus Linkin Park Concert

Verizon Wireless and mega-platinum GRAMMY(R)-winning band Linkin Park are challenging fans to remix the band’s smash hits into their own creations as part of the Remix2Win with Linkin Park contest. Verizon Wireless customers can remix one of Linkin Park’s legendary songs such as “Bleed It Out,” “What I’ve Done,” “In the End,” “Crawling,” and more. Colleges have a chance to compete for a free Linkin Park concert -- right on campus. The 20 colleges with the most submissions will become finalists vying for the private Linkin Park concert in the fall, and the individual with the most popular submission will be awarded a cash prize. Fans can enter the contest by going to www.lpconcerts.com and following the contest rules outlined on the “Remix2Win” link. The resulting remix can be accessed through a link that can be shared with friends by e-mail or posted to the creator’s Facebook(R) profile through the Remix2Win application. The creator can add to his or her Facebook profile using the Facebook Platform and invite others to participate. The Continued on page 24

www.spanglishtimes.com creator’s remix is awarded a “prop” when a friend clicks on the link on Facebook or in an e-mail, which will help determine the final round submissions for colleges as well as the individual winner of the contest. From all of the entries, the 20 colleges with the most remix submissions will become finalists for the campus concert from Linkin Park; from the school’s selections, the one remix with the most props will represent each school and will be judged by Linkin Park in the final round. There are no limits to the number of remixes participants can submit, and colleges may opt out of the contest at any time. In addition, the top 20 individuals with the remixes that receive the most props will be selected as finalists for the cash prize.

Hallmark Movie Channel HD Launches April 2 with ‘Son Of The Dragon,’ Starring Emmy Nominee David Carradine and John Reardon

New Network Will Provide 24 Hour Quality Family Programming Cherished & Respected by the Latino Community In a historic move for the network, Hallmark Channel will celebrate the launch of Hallmark Movie Channel HD with a two-night movie event starring Emmy(R) nominee and martial arts legend David Carradine, who will kick the new network into high (def) gear. The U.S. Television Premiere of “Son of the Dragon” HD will feature Night One, Wednesday, April 2 (8/7 c) and Night Two, Thursday, April 3 (8/7 c). John Reardon (“Merlin’s Apprentice”) and Rupert Graves (“V for Vendetta”) costar in “Son of the Dragon,” a two night, four hour Hallmark Movie Channel Original Movie Event that will immerse viewers in such startling HD clarity, they may need to start dodging punches! A stunning re-imagining of the classic Thief of Baghdad, the film, which was shot entirely in China, revolves around a charismatic young thief known as Devil Boy, or DB (Reardon), who was abandoned at birth and rescued from the docks of Shanghai by Bird (Carradine), a wise former warrior. Now, DB and Bird have their eyes on the ultimate prize ... swindling the royal court of its jewels. The best way for them to execute the perfect heist is by winning the hand of the Governor’s daughter, Princess Li Wei (Desiree Siahaan, “Marco Polo”), whose father is welcoming potential suitors to court. Posing as the Prince of the Seven Seas and his loyal lieutenant, DB and Bird enter a world unlike anything they imagined. Although DB has genuine feelings for the princess, there is formidable competition from the Prince of the North (Graves) and it is soon apparent that he is playing by a far more dangerous and sinister set of rules. Caught in a dangerous game, DB and Bird must rely on their cunning,

street-smarts and a little magic to survive an untimely demise. The scent of lotus blossoms will waft off of the screen, slashing swords will tear into living rooms everywhere, and the beauty, adventure, and romance of Ancient China will come alive as never before. It’s the “Son of the Dragon” premiere -- the first program to air on the all-new Hallmark Movie Channel HD -- Wednesday, April 2 (8/7 c) Night One and Thursday, April 3 (8/7 c) Night Two. Hallmark Movie Channel HD will be a spectacle the likes of which has yet to be seen in any definition! Programming events such as “Son of the Dragon” will be a regular occurrence on Hallmark Movie Channel, with a major event title premiering every quarter on the 24-hour network. In addition to its starstudded launch, Hallmark Movie Channel will become the premiere destination for the very best family movies of all time, and home to the critically-acclaimed Hallmark Hall of Fame library! In more than 50 years, the Hall of Fame films have featured 131 Academy Award(R) nominees and 55 winners, have won 81 Emmy Awards and 13 Golden Globes, and consistently rank among the top five films on broadcast television year after year. Accompanying the Hall of Fame library on the network will be an array of current and classic titles from major Hollywood studios and networks, including Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures and Disney. “The launch of Hallmark Movie Channel HD is a watershed moment,” says David Kenin, EVP of Programming for Hallmark Channel. “The new network will provide wholesome and inspiring family programming which resonates with the strong values that our viewers hold fast to, and will do so 24 hours a day in breathtaking HD quality.” (HPRW)

Deslumbrante recreación del clásico Thief of Baghdad y filmada en su totalidad en China, la película trata de un joven y carismático ladrón conocido como Devil Boy o DB (Reardon), abandonado al nacer y rescatado por Bird (Carradine) en los muelles de Shanghai, un sabio ex guerrero. DB y Bird tienen el ojo puesto en su mayor proeza... robar las joyas de la corte real. La mejor manera de llevar a cabo el atraco perfecto es obtener la mano de la hija del gobernador, la Princesa Li Wei (Desiree Siahaan, “Marco Polo”), cuyo padre recibe en la corte a posibles pretendientes. Fingiendo ser el Príncipe de los Siete Mares y su leal teniente de navío, DB y Bird entran a un mundo absolutamente inimaginable. Aunque DB alberga sentimientos genuinos por la princesa, enfrenta la feroz competencia del Príncipe del Norte (Graves) y muy pronto queda en evidencia que sus reglas del juego son mucho más oscuras y siniestras. Atrapados en un juego peligroso, DB y Bird deben confiar en sus astutas mañas callejeras y un poco de magia para sobrevivir a la posibilidad de muerte prematura. El aroma de las flores de loto saldrá flotando de la pantalla, espadas afiladas invadirán los hogares y la belleza, la aventura y el romance de la China ancestral cobrarán vida como nunca antes.

Coming Together to Make a Change

Just at the end of February, Marilyn Manson played the Dodge Theater in Phoenix. A haunting, dark, hymnal began with lonely strings and echoing piano as the blood red wisps of curtains hinted at the dozens of candles burning behind. As the drapes fell Manson charged front and center. With Twiggy back on board, the anticipation was at an all-time high. Manson, emblazoned with his red, war-paint mask, roared in to one of his few props; a butcher-knife microphone. I was startled when my friend and I realized that Manson appeared to be quite intoxicated. His vocals were a step or two behind right off. When he addressed the crowd, his slur was evident. The show was adrift. Luckily, Manson seemed to catch his stride as “Disposable Teens” began…at least vocally. Framing him was a sparse, altar-like setting almost completely devoid of the former full throttle trappings he’s displayed at shows past. There were flashing lights and showers of crepe paper but he never reached his former pinnacles.

March/April 2008 - Page 27 Manson addressed the crowd several times, and at one point, seemingly more coherent, he gushed that his fans were his family. With a sweeping gesture he turned to his band mates and called them his brothers. It was sincere, because he fawned over the crowd with many of his older songs. Sadly, only the heartiest of the die hards managed to gather the will to chant along to his command that everyone scream “I am a rock and roll N****r!” It was as if the crowd of corsets, vinyl, “guy-liner” and fake blood, were suddenly all too self conscious. It wasn’t meant to be a Don Imus moment; it’s the name of one of his songs for crying out loud! Not everyone was in on the joke. When the show was close to its finale (if it could be called that) the radio hits came pouring out with “Sweet Dreams”, “Dope Show” and “The Beautiful People” with the latter being the encore. They did pull out the infamous podium from which Manson pontificates and juts about like a marionette, but they had it off to the side of the stage as if to say it was too much trouble to bring it all the way to the spotlight. The fans would not be deterred and very few straggled out early, still, it was evident that despite the twisted genius that is Marilyn Manson, the band was road weary, burdened and half-cocked. You can’t help being in awe of Marilyn Manson, but the tiny injustices throughout the show cost him. Let’s hope their next concert stalks us with intense memories and the spectral infusion we’ve come to expect.

Spanglish Spotlight

PITBULL

Much like his canine namesake, it’s not very safe to corner Cuban-American MC Pitbull. Since debuting in 2002 alongside Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz’s Kings of Crunk album to last year’s star turn with Trick Daddy and Rick Ross on DJ Khaled’s ode to Miami’s Dade County, “Born N Raised,” Pitbull defies labels. As charismatic as any rapper in hip-hop, Pitbull effortlessly moves between crunk and gritty rap anthems, truly earning his nickname Mr. 305. His new album, BOATLIFT, brings together Pit’s ever expansive world on one album; brimming with sexy Caribbean influences and sounds like Merengue, Bachata, and AfroCuban, yet still brooding and hard enough for the other side of Miami. BOATLIFT is the best of Pitbull’s worlds, melding the sounds of his lyrically dexterous debut, M.I.A.M.I., with the mature sounds and world influences of the critically acclaimed, El MARIEL. “The BOATLIFT means so much to me, it means bringing together two different works or trying to, because every album is a new step,” Pitbull explains. “And with the BOATLIFT and being that my family was involved in the boatlift [from Cuba to Miami] and being that it’s sort of me taking everyone on my own ride, it’s my own Boatlift. I feel like everything has to do with a Boatlift, think about how everyone came to this country. There’s so many ways you can go spin and turn it. But bottom line, it’s just my way of taking you on a ride with me in my world and trying to make you understand it.” His journey so far has been nothing short of excellent. And it continues on BOATLIFT. The steamy first single, “Secret Admirer” is an instant classic coming from the heartthrob. Paired with the Inc.’s lead crooner Lloyd, Pitbull seduces and sways with a Casanova-like whisper flow, inviting his crush to leave the club with him and make it their own special night together. In the video for “Secret Admirer,” Pitbull captures the vibe of the song visually as he employs a Scarface motif; playing the legendary character’s right-hand man, Monolo, in a tale of lust, betrayal, and love.

“Since the record is so orientated toward women, we’re giving it the street, sexy, urban edge,” Pit says. BOATLIFT is lined with plenty of street records and club bangers.

There’s the underground smash, “Sticky Icky,” featuring Jim Jones. And the rumbling “Goon,” featuring C-Ride and solo venom Pit delivers on “Don’t See ‘Em.”

And what would a Pitbull album be without an over-the-top collaboration with mentor Lil Jon? The rowdy producer and his protégé paired together to create “The Anthem,” the next in a line of proven seizure-inducing singles from the duo, including past hits “Culo” and “Toma.”

“That’s about to be one of the records you not gonna stop hearing,” Jon says enthusiastically. “It’s crazy and it’s strictly for the ladies. You will see the ladies shaking.”

With BOATLIFT, Pitbull is continues to grow and evolve from his humble beginnings as a hungry rapper into one of the next influential voices in all of music, both on the mic and behind the scenes. I got my own lane at the end of the day,” Pit remarks. “I don’t have to worry about what this person is doing and that person is doing. And I’m trying to take advantage of every opportunity.” Since music impresario Sean “Diddy” Combs tapped him to head his then fledgling Bad Boy Latino, Pit has gone on to create and develop his own animated series, “Rock, Pepe, Scissors,” which will be making its debut in 2008. He also partnered with mun2—the influential bilingual network targeting Latin youth—to star in and host “Pitbull’s La Esquina” [The Corner], an original reality series full of edgy comedy skits. “It’s always been a goal to have other business ventures and other revenue streams. So I’ve always wanted to expand and enterprise and capitalize off the music, with music being the bread and butter; the door opener and giving me all the opportunities. I’m definitely looking into other things. Right now we’re in the beginning stages. But something is sure to blossom anywhere from 3 to 5 years from now.” With Pitbull’s keen sense of business and musical appreciation reaching their heights, the Cuban MC is rising up the ranks among today’s top artists, solely by his own terms. That he’s doing it his way is something that’s as valuable to him as his heritage. Hence, Pitbull has launch his own non-profit organization called Imaginate Foundation, which provides college scholarships to first and second-generation foreign-born students for the 2008 school year. “My perspective is, I’m the one the kids are gonna see,” Pit says. “I’m not the flossing one, I’m not the flashy one, I’m not the one to flaunt or stunt, but anyone that comes down to Miami and hangs with me is going to know my life is what it is at the end of the day. In no way, shape, or form am I trying to feed something that’s negative. It’s a facade a lot of kids and the youth see, like it’s cool to be a thug and a dope boy. My thing is that a lot of these cats aren’t the one they claim to be and they’re feeding this dream that’s not really there.” “Them party records I make, that’s my life,” Pitbull continues, laughing. “And as far with the Ross’s and Trick’s and all that goes on in Miami, the reason I’m accepted by them is that they’ve all seen me grind like I’ve seen them grind. And they know, Chico is gonna be there, wherever you need him. It’s a respect thing, and ain’t too much of that in the game.”
