D
uring the Awards Dinner that took place this week at the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance in Chicago, the McDonald’s Hispanic Owner-Operators Association (MHOA) awarded ten $3,000 college scholarships to Latino students. These students were selected from applicants to the RMHC® scholarships because they demonstrated to have a passion for education evidenced by their academic achievements and a sincere desire to help their communities. The MHOA raised these funds in response to their commitment to increase the number of scholarships awarded to college bound Hispanic students from the RMHC® HACER scholarship program. Although college enrollment among Hispanics has increased, it is still at an unacceptable level. Lower retention and
graduation rates are even more alarming. In many cases, lack of financial resources is the cause. Many Hispanic families do not have access to the resources necessary to send their children to college and the MHOA is intent on improving this situation and thus have a significant impact on their future Carmen Solano-De Carrier, chair of the MHOA Education Committee greeted and congratulated the awardees and their families summarizing the reasons why these students had been. John De Carrier, president of MHOA had the keynote remarks in which he challenged the students to be the best they could be, to persevere in their studies, find good mentors never to take for granted the opportunities they are given and always to pay it forward. He recounted his own struggles to make it to where he is today and offered valuable advice on how
to maximize their years in college. The students were listening because even before the event was over they were already putting to practice his networking tips. Juan Mendez, member of the MHOA and chair of the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance echoed Mr. De Carrier’s words and further encouraged the students to become role models for their peers as well as to always remember that their endeavors have to be rooted in their efforts to be a part of their communities growth. The students that were awarded the scholarships were: Juan Castrejon, Alan Del Rio, Miguel Garcia, Edgar Palomino, Daniela Perez, Uriel Ramirez, Enriqueta Rodriguez, Lizbeth Sanchez, Yuliana Torres and Delilah Vasquez

LazosFamiliares La hipnosis de carretera puede ser peligrosa Nuevo Impact Staff
La hipnosis de carretera, conocida también como “fiebre de la línea blanca” se produce cuando una persona ha estado manejando un vehículo por un tramo largo de carretera durante un extenso período de tiempo.
L
os viajes por carretera son una “escapada” popular en cuanto sube la temperatura. Las autopistas se llenan de vehículos, ya sea en pos de vacaciones o simplemente para disfrutar del paisaje en el camino. Y mientras más personas en la vía, más riesgo de accidentes por diversas razones. Aunque la agresividad tras el volante, la conducción en estado de embriaguez y otros peligros están bien documentados, muchas personas ignoran lo que se conoce como “hipnosis de carretera” que podría ser responsable de la conducción errática en la vía. Imagínese que está tras el volante en un tramo extenso de carretera, como el de una interestatal. Tal vez le perdió la pista a las salidas por las que pasó, o se pregunta cómo llegó a un sitio en particular pues no recuerda haberse encaminado allí. Tal vez se quedó dormido o distraído. Según la Administra-
ción Federal de Autopistas del Departamento de Transporte de los Estados Unidos, la causa principal de colisiones es la somnolencia y falta de atención del conductor. A menudo, la fatiga es provocada por la hipnosis de carretera. La hipnosis de carretera, conocida también como “fiebre de la línea blanca” se produce cuando una persona ha estado manejando un vehículo por un tramo largo de carretera durante un extenso período de tiempo. La monotonía de un recorrido largo puede inducir al sueño o al olvido. También puede hacer que el cerebro caiga en una especial de trance, y el cuerpo opera esencialmente como un piloto automático mientras la mente está en otra parte. La hipnosis de carretera es más común a altas horas de la noche, cuando la hora del día también juega un papel en la somnolencia. El concepto de hipnosis de carretera no es nuevo. Los ingenieros que crearon la Carretera de Peaje de Indiana en 1957 crearon curvas
cada dos millas como promedio, para permitir variaciones en las condiciones de la vía. Otras carreteras tienen franjas resonantes u otras variaciones del camino para reducir la monotonía. La hipnosis de carretera se produce con más frecuencia de la que se pueda pensar. Sin embargo, hay formas de prevenirla. * Tome descansos frecuentes en un viaje largo para estirar las piernas y respirar aire fresco. * Trate de no manejar en horas durante las cuales acostumbra a dormir. * Lleve un acompañante y conversen frecuentemente. * No coma demasiado antes de iniciar un viaje largo por carretera. * Abra las ventanillas y mantenga la circulación del aire. *Mueva los ojos entre los espejos retrovisores para incrementar el pensamiento consciente. *Si no puede evitar la somnolencia o cualquier otro síntoma de hipnosis, detenga la marcha y descanse lo suficiente hasta que se sienta más capaz de manejar.

Highway hypnosis can be dangerous Nuevo Impact Staff
Highway hypnosis, also known as "white line fever," occurs when someone has been driving a vehicle along a long stretch of roadway for an extended period of time.
R
oad trips are a popular getaway once the weather warms up. People take to the roads in droves, whether for vacations or simply to enjoy the scenery along the way. With more people on the highways, there could be a heightened risk of accidents for a number of reasons. Though road rage, driving while intoxicated and other road dangers are well documented, many people do not know about something called highway hypnosis -- which could be responsible for erratic driving on roadways. Think about a time when you were behind the wheel of a car on a long stretch of road, such as an interstate. Perhaps you lost track of the exits you passed or wondered how you ended up in a particular location when you don't remember getting there. Maybe you actually fell asleep or drifted off

of the road. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration, the main cause of roadway departure crashes is driver drowsiness and inattention. Driver fatigue is often caused by highway hypnosis. Highway hypnosis, also known as "white line fever," occurs when someone has been driving a vehicle along a long stretch of roadway for an extended period of time. The monotony of a long drive can induce sleepiness or forgetfulness. It can lull the brain into a sort of trance, and the body is essentially operating on auto pilot while the mind is off somewhere else. Highway hypnosis is most common during the late-night hours when the time of day also plays a role in drowsiness. The concept of highway hypnosis is nothing new. In fact, engineers who created the Indiana Toll Road in 1957 designed curves every two miles on average www.nuevoimpact.com
to allow for a variation in the road conditions. Many other roadways are built with rumble strips or other variations in the scenery to reduce the monotony of the road. Highway hypnosis occurs more than people would like to believe. However, there are ways to help prevent highway hypnosis. * Take frequent rests on a long trip to stretch your legs and get some fresh air. * Try not to drive during the hours that you are normally sleeping. * Bring a road trip partner along and make conversation. * Don't eat a big meal before beginning a long car ride. * Open the windows and get circulation going. * Keep your eyes moving between your mirrors and the road to improve conscious thought. * If you are still unable to fend of feelings of drowsiness or some of the other symptoms of hypnosis, pull over and take a long rest until you feel more capable to drive.

U
n estudio de 2012 publicado en la revista Pediatrics encontró que el niño estadounidense promedio está expuesto a casi cuatro horas de televisión al fondo de cada día. La televisión de fondo es que la televisión está encendida, pero los niños no la están viendo. Que los niños están expuestos a tanta televisión de fondo sobre una base diaria es importante, ya que numerosos estudios han demostrado que demasiada televisión, incluso la televisión de fondo, tiene un efecto adverso en el desarrollo del niño. Según el estudio, la televisión de fondo, en particular, se ha relacionado con las interacciones más pobres entre padres e hijos, así como un peor rendimiento en tareas cognitivas. El estudio se realizó mediante una encuesta telefónica representativa a nivel nacional de 1.454 padres con al menos un niño entre las edades de ocho meses y ocho años de edad. Los niños en este grupo de edad suelen ver a unos 80 minutos de televisión al día, es decir, su exposición diaria a la televisión es de aproximadamente cinco horas. El estudio también encontró que los niños que son joven, afroamericano o provienen de familias más pobres están expuestos a más televisión a diario, con los niños de las familias más pobres expuestos a la televisión durante casi seis horas por día.
2012 study published in the journal Pediatrics found that the average American child is exposed to nearly four hours of background television each day. Background television is when the television is on but children are not watching it. That kids are exposed to so much background television on a daily basis is significant, as numerous studies have shown too much television, even background television, has an adverse effect on children's development. According to the study, background television in particular has been linked to poorer interactions between parent and child as well as poorer performance on cognitive tasks. The study was conducted using a nationally representative telephone survey of 1,454 parents with at least one child between the ages of eight months and eight years old. Children in that age group typically watch about 80 minutes of television each day, meaning their daily exposure to television is roughly five hours. The study also found that children who are younger, African-American or come from poorer families are exposed to even more television on a daily basis, with children from poorer families exposed to television for nearly six hours per day.

amily reunions are a great way for families to maintain a bond and stay abreast of the latest happenings within the family. Some families host an annual reunion, while others go years between reunions. Regardless of how much time has passed since your last family reunion, organizing such a gathering can be quite an ordeal. When planning a family reunion, those trusted to organize the event will be met with many challenges. But the following tips should help the process go as smoothly as possible.
Start early. The earlier you start to organize your family reunion, the more time you and your family members will have to find deals on hotels or transportation. That's especially important today, when many families are more spread out than ever before. Planning early also gives organizers time to find fun and affordable means of entertainment, such as group trips to a sporting event or an amusement park. Even if your family hosts an annual reunion, start planning early so family members from far and wide can make plans to attend.

Use social media to your advantage. Social media has made it easy to keep in touch with distant relatives, and organizers can use this tool to their advantage when planning a family reunion. Post ideas for entertainment to social media and get feedback from relatives. Solicit suggestions for activities and assign different tasks to different family members who have confirmed their attendance. Use social media to keep track of that attendance as well, especially among those family members who have not yet committed but have implied a desire to attend. Choose a central location. Though it might be sentimental to hold the reunion in a city or town where your family has its deepest roots, such a location might not be practical for families who have branched out geographically. When choosing a town or city for the family reunion, try to find a central location that's accessible to the largest number of prospective attendees. For example, if half of your family now calls the west coast home while the other half lives along the east coast, then a location in the middle of the country is equally accessible for all. This also gives travel enthusiasts the chance to do some traveling while also reconnecting with their family members. Arrange for transportation ahead of time. If your family reunion won't be in a big city with reliable public transportation, then it's best to arrange for transportation ahead of time. Some family
members will drive to the reunion, so confirm who is driving and the capacity of their vehicles. You might be able to get by with relatives hitching rides from their family members to the reunion and other events. If not, you can arrange for transportation depending on the number of people who won't have access to transportation. You might want to rent a small or large bus for the weekend so those without access to transportation can travel together throughout the weekend. Do so ahead of time so you or your family members are not scrambling for transportation come the weekend of the reunion.
Host the reunion when the weather outside is warm and welcoming. Unless you're a family who enjoys hitting the slopes and wants to reunite on the black diamond, then host the reunion at a time of year when the weather is warm. This allows all of you to enjoy the great outdoors, and people are less likely to feel cramped or claustrophobic. The warm weather is also more amenable to activities like three-legged races, water balloon fights and, of course, the family reunion barbecue, which is a staple of many family gatherings.

30 things to do in Chicago this summer Want to make the summer of 2013 your best yet? This checklist is a good place to start. By: Leah Pickett. WBEZ ummertime arrived slightly later than expected in Chicago this year; but thankfully for those yearning to don shorts and sundresses, the wait is now over. With the June solstice came a mass unveiling of open patios, 80 degree weather (finally!) and a big Blackhawks win to get the season started on a celebratory note. So, how do we make the most of the blessed JuneSeptember sunshine we have left? Here is a list of 30 delightful Chicago adventures to keep the fun meter running all summer long:
S
1. Get on a boat. Take some inspiration from The Lonely Island and tell your friends "I'm on a boat" for real. Rent or charter a sailboat, fall in love with Chicago all over again on the architecture boat tour, or catch a water taxi to Chinatown after work (only $6!)
2. Bike to the breweries. A guide for daylong cycling trips to brewpubs outside of the city limits—including Three Floyds Brewpub in Munster, Ind. and Lake Bluff Brewing Company in the northern suburb of Lake Bluff—can be found here.
3. Visit some famous houses. Take a suburban roadtrip to the gorgeous home and studio of architect Frank Lloyd Wright (Oak Park), Cameron's glass house and garage from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Highland Park) and Kevin McAllister's iconic residence in Home Alone (Winnetka).
4. Kayak on the river.
wine and excellent cinephile company to see Jurassic Park (Wicker Park) on July 25 or It Happened One Night (Belmont Harbor) on July 29.
10. Play ball. Kickball, softball and whirlyball are all the rage this summer. Join a league through the Chicago Sport and Social Club, or get some friends/co-workers together for a friendly game of loser-buys-the-winner-beers.
11. Ride in a rickshaw.
22. Relax at the Osaka Japanese Gardens.
Clear summer nights are optimal for a romantic (or just super nerdy) evening at Adler After Dark. Astronomy nuts should also bring their picnic baskets and telescopes to Cantigny Park in Wheaton for the Adler's Persoid Meteor Shower Party on August 11.
This hidden gem of Hyde Park is right up there with the Garfield Park Conservatory and Chicago's Botanic Gardens in terms of sheer beauty, history and summertime enchantment.
13. Plant in a community garden.
Bring back goods from your local farmer's market (the fresher, the better!) and create a Lula Cafe-style farm dinner right in your kitchen by preparing a lavish meal for family and friends.
Looking for an opportunity to volunteer and make a difference in your neighborhood? For those with green thumbs, a list of over 50 active community gardens can be found here.
14. Dine on a rooftop. My favorites: The Twisted Spoke in Noble Square, J. Parker in Lincoln Park, Drumbar in Streeterville, NoMI Lounge on the Near North Side and the ROOF of The Wit downtown.
15. Cuddle up at the lakefront for fireworks.
16. Swing dance the night away.
Race to the top of the city's best indoor climbing walls, including the Lakeview Athletic Club and The Ledge at Fitness Formula Club in Old Town. Also, big news: the firstever Chicago gym completely devoted to rock climbing, First Ascent, is set to open in the South Loop this fall. 6. See the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Ravinia. Pavillion seats are only $25 for the world's greatest orchestra with Itzhak Perlman, Maxim Vengerov, Leon Fleisher and more. Lawn seats are $10 or free to children and students through college.
Put on your vintage skirts and suspenders, turn up the Big Band records and head down to Fizz (Mondays), The Green Mill (Thursdays) or Honky Tonk (Sundays) for unforgettable summer nights of swing dancing, live music, contests and more.
The largest annual outdoor dancing series in the United States has returned for a 17th year of jumping, jiving and bringing joy to dancers of all ages. The July schedule for this June-September program includes daytime lessons and nights of live music and dancing in the styles of salsa, ballroom, country two-step and more.
9. Watch a movie in the park. The 195-film lineup for the 13th Annual Chicago Movies in the Park gets an A+ this year. I suggest bringing a blanket,
10 NuevoImpact July 2013
21. Gather at a neighborhood arts festival.
12. Stargaze at the Adler Planetarium.
5. Challenge a friend to rock climbing.
8. Join Chicago SummerDance.
In addition to an ongoing roster of lunchtime music concerts (Mondays and Wednesdays) and international film screenings (Wednesdays and Saturdays), the CCC will host Jackalope's production of The Casuals at The Storefront Theater from July 11 to 28. Check out the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival (June 2830), Square Roots (July 12-14), Wicker Park Fest (July 28-31) and Northalsted Market Days (August 10-11).
Search for available dates and times on the Kayak Chicago website from now until September. You also can go windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding or even jet-skiing if you feel so inclined.
If you haven't tried the "Original Rainbow Cone" at the historic Rainbow Cone ice cream shop (est. 1926), then you are doing summer wrong.
20. Enjoy a free event at the Chicago Cultural Center.
A pedicab is a fun, breezy and oft-neglected form of totally green transportation in Chicago. So why not throw caution to the wind and careen down Michigan Avenue like it's 1899?
Navy Pier fireworks go off every Wednesday and Saturday night until August 31; but you don't have to shuffle through a sea of tourists to get a good view. Stretch out on a blanket by the lakeshore and watch the show from across the water instead.
7. Taste the rainbow cone.
Rollers (women's roller derby) for a rollicking good time at just a fraction of the cost.
17. Practice yoga in the park. Find your center every Saturday at 8 a.m. with Yoga in Millenium Park, part of a free workout series from the City of Chicago that lasts until September. Other Great Lawn group classes include Tai-Chi at 7 a.m., Pilates at 9 a.m., and Zumba at 10 a.m.
23. Host a farmer's market dinner.
24. Sunbathe in Lincoln Park. Read a book on the lawn of the prettiest park in all of Chicago, then walk on over to the Lincoln Park Zoo and see over 1,200 exotic animals for free.
25. Locate an awesome patio and BYOB. Try landing an outdoor table at Tango Sur in Lakeview, Cafe Sushi in Old Town or 90 Miles Cuban Cafe in Logan Square to enjoy good eats, prime people-watching and as many tag-a-long beers as your heart desires.
26. Take a class. Do you have some extra time this summer to learn something new? If so, you're in luck: Chicago has cooking, guitar, pottery, beer-brewing, gardening and improv classes galore.
27. Have a beach picnic party. Take in the scenic views (and avoid the obnoxious Castaways crowd) at Hartigan Park and Beach in Rogers Park, 57th Street Beach in Hyde Park or Kathy Osterman Beach in Edgewater.
28. Experience the Chicago Jazz Festival. This year's fest will take up three stages in Millenium Park, meaning that the sound will be much better than in years past, and the sets even more intimate.
18. Explore Jane Addams Hull House.
29. Stroll through Hyde Park.
The West Side home of writer and humanitarian Jane Addams is spectacularly well-preserved, and inspiring for Chicago history buffs, educators and budding feminists alike. Tours of the museum are free to the public, so you should feel no guiilt in springing for a fancy three-course meal in nearby Greektown after you've had your educational fill.
Spend a day walking around the beautiful University of Chicago campus. Then stop for cultural enlightenment at the Hyde Park Art Center, followed by life-changing Mexicana Milkshakes at Medici on 57th. You will not regret these decisions.
19. Go to a game. While the Blackhawks, Bears, Cubs and White Sox may be the most popular teams in Chicago sports, they are certainly not the only ones. Check out the Chicago Fire (men's soccer), the Chicago Sky (WNBA), or the Windy City www.nuevoimpact.com
30. Find a pool. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a swimming pool on the roof of their apartment; but fear not, urban-dwellers: the Chicago Parks District has 26 indoor pools and 50 outdoor pools open for the summer. Check their website to find a fun and friendly pool for open swims, family swims or lap swims near you. Latino Family Lifestyle Magazine

Exercise or Nutrition: Which Has a Greater Impact on Your Health, Weight Loss, and Sports Performance?
M Por: Sergio Rojas NBC5 Fitness Expert; Certified Movement Specialist; Certified Nutritionist
any people often ask me, “which is more important, exercise or nutrition?” That is a fairly difficult question to answer, so I always reply back with a question… “what is your goal? Is your primary goal health, weight loss, or peak performance for sports?” While their answer truly does little to affect or change my answer, it does gives me a better sense of how to answer their question, and what to focus on in our conversation. First of all, I find it interesting enough that there are many people out there that exercise regularly, and enjoy exercise, but have no concern about what they eat; just as there are many people out there that eat extremely healthy, and truly enjoy having a healthy diet, yet have little or no interest, nor any desire to exercise. So what is more important, exercise or nutrition? As a personal trainer and fitness instructor, I know and understand the true importance of exercise, and how critical it is for energy, heart health, bone health, mobility, weight management, posture, selfconfidence, and more. As a nutritionist, I also know that what you put into your body affects you on a cellular level (you are what you eat). Your nutrition also affects your energy, heart health, bone health, weight management, and many other aspects of your health, including organ function, immune health, etc… The biggest difference, and the most difficult part, is that the results or consequences of poor nutrition are often not seen or felt for years. It’s a slow process
12 NuevoImpact April 2013
that has huge ramifications later on in life. On the other hand, exercise often produces results that are seen and felt in a relatively short period of time. The truth is that while both exercise and nutrition are extremely critical, the ratio of importance varies a little depending on the goal, as well as on your genes. For example, if your primary goal is cellular health, nutrition plays a bit more of a role in the health of your cells than exercise does. Poor nutrition can reak havoc on your cells, while good nutrition is what feeds our cells and helps them to perform their tasks. As far as exercise is concerned, a lack of exercise will not truly cause you a great deal of harm, except over the long term with certain issues like bone density as we age, or heart health if you have a predisposition. At the same time, know that exercise does enhance the health of many cells, especially when combined with proper nutrition. If your primary goal is weight loss, nutrition has to be the primary concern, although I have seen people lose weight by doing excessive amounts of exercise and having a poor diet of junk food or processed foods, just eating so few calories in order to create the necessary caloric deficit to induce weight loss. The problem is that this form of weight loss is not sustainable, and will cost you in energy as well as overall health. At some point, your body will begin to break down, and either you will binge on foods, as we have seen so many dieters yo-yo with their weight, or you will become ill. The key www.nuevoimpact.com
is knowing what type of nutrition plan is appropriate for long-term, healthy weight loss. And that varies for each of us, based on our metabolic types, our activity levels, and our genes. What we do know is that combining exercise with nutrition is the best answer for sustained, healthy weight loss. Lastly, if your primary goal is peak performance in sports, you can argue endlessly that exercise is the most important aspect, which I tend to agree with. How can you perform at peak levels without exercises that enhance the strength, power, agility, and other athletic attributes? What needs to be understood is that your ability to perform exercises at peak levels depends a great deal on your nutrition. Nutrition can also dramatically affect your ability to recover, to reaction timing, your concentration, and your ability to recruit muscle fibers. All in all, most experts agree that you need both for optimal health, and when done together properly, results are not only seen and felt faster, but the benefits are also the greatest, regardless of your goal. The research shows us that an estimated 75 percent of your results in overall health, weight loss and sports performance, come from your nutrition.

Los Hispanos y el Cáncer E
l cáncer es una palabra que nadie quiere escuchar cuando habla sobre sus amigos y familiares. Pero, con frecuencia alguien que conocemos es diagnosticado con cáncer. De hecho, si usted es hispano, debe saber que según un reciente estudio1, el cáncer ha sobrepasado a las enfermedades del corazón convirtiéndose en la principal causa de muerte entre los hispanos en Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, de acuerdo a este estudio, muchas de esas muertes pueden prevenirse si los hispanos aumentan el uso de las pruebas de detección temprana para diagnóstico de cáncer. La comunidad latina es menos propensa a hacerse pruebas preventivas de rutina y por eso el diagnóstico de cáncer se comprueba en etapas más avanzadas de la enfermedad. La detección temprana puede aumentar la efectividad de los resultados del tratamiento y es importante conocer que hay recursos disponibles y adelantos en tratamientos que pueden ayudar a un paciente de cáncer. Además, hay otros factores que pueden impactar el cuidado de salud recibido por los pacientes hispanos. Jorge Puente, Presidente Regional de Oncología, Asia/Canadá para la compañía Pfizer, Inc asevera "el gran número de personas sin seguro médico y la falta de acceso a cuidados de salud entre los hispanos, son factores que contribuyen a retardar el cuidado a pacientes de cáncer." Además, el doctor Puente afirmó en una asamblea de ciudadanos en Los Ángeles donde se discutió el tema del cáncer y los latinos, que debeLatino Family Lifestyle Magazine
mos tomar medidas para trabajar con el estigma y el miedo hacia el cáncer que existe en la comunidad latina. Por la vía de la educación, el mejorar el acceso al cuidado de salud y el advenimiento da la medicina personalizada, podemos lograr grandes avances en el tratamiento a hispanos pacientes de cáncer." Debemos añadir que muchos pacientes de cáncer tienen la preocupación adicional de no poder tener acceso a los medicamentos que necesitan para mejorar su condición. A menudo, hay pacientes asegurados que no conocen bien su plan de seguros y lo que este cubre, o tienen un plan de seguros con cobertura insuficiente para cubrir los medicamentos recetados. Otros pacientes, sin seguro médico, pueden pensar en que no podrán seguir el tratamiento indicado por su médico porque no pueden cubrir su costo. Es, por tanto, importante conocer que existen recursos que pueden ser de ayuda, como lo son el programa Pfizer First Resource®, que es uno de los programas que pertenecen a la familia de programas de asistencia al paciente Pfizer Helpful Answers. Este programa puede ofrecer ayuda a ciertos pacientes elegibles, sean pacientes con seguro médico, pacientes asegurados con seguro insuficiente y pacientes sin seguro, a lograr acceso a los medicamentos oncológicos producidos por Pfizer. Para pacientes asegurados el programa ofrece servicios de apoyo para solicitud de reembolso. Estos servicios incluyen el contacto con el plan de seguros www.nuevoimpact.com
del paciente y sus proveedores para ayudar al paciente a conocer su cobertura y verificar sus beneficios. Algunos pacientes que no pueden cubrir su co-pago o cualquier otro gasto en medicamentos oncológicos debido a problemas financieros, pueden solicitar ayuda para recibir sus medicamentos libres de costo, si cualifican. Por último, pacientes no asegurados a quienes se les receta un medicamento oncológico producido por Pfizer, pueden solicitar ayuda para recibir su medicamento libre de costo. Para poder conocer si cualifican para estos programas, los pacientes deben consultar a un consejero para determinar su elegibilidad. Algunos requisitos son: • Carecer de cubierta de medicamentos o que esta sea insuficiente • Cumplir criterios de ingresos económicos específicos • Residir en los Estados Unidos o en sus territorios • Recibir su tratamiento de manos de un médico licenciado en Estados Unidos o Puerto Rico Para información adicional acerca de Pfizer FirstResource® y hablar con un consejero en inglés o español favor de llamar al 877-744-5675. También puede visitar la página www.PfizerHelpfulAnswers.com y llenar una solicitud de ingreso al programa. (MS) 1.

• Heat safety: avoid intense activities between noon and 3 p.m. when the sun is at its strongest. • Dress for the heat: wear lightweight, light colored clothing, choose light, breathable fabrics such as cotton, and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. • Head indoors: when the heat gets unbearable, try indoor activities at your local YMCA or recreation center like basketball, swimming, yoga or racquetball.

During the summer months take advantage of all the healthy fruits and vegetables that are in season. Chicago's farmers markets support both a healthy lifestyle and the local economy by inviting over a hundred vendors to sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers to neighborhoods throughout the city. Aim for three healthy meals and two small snacks a day, which means you are eating something every three
hours. Studies have shown that people who eat more than three times a day have a lower body mass index and waist circumference; consumed more fiber and less fat; and drank less alcohol than those who limited their eating sessions to three or less. Eating more often keeps your metabolism up and prevents you from getting super hungry, which typically results in binge eating.

Entretenimiento “The Jungle Book”
★★★★★
W Review by: Alan Bresloff
hen it was announced that Mary Zimmerman was recreating “The Jungle Book” for the stage, I was delighted- imagine , if you will, this genius playwright taking the Disney animated film and the works of Kipling as a live musical on the stage at Goodman, and I am sure that you can feel the same elation and high anticipation that many Chicago theater audiences felt. While, I must say that I did enjoy the production, now making its “Theatrical Debut”, there are still some flies in the ointment ( so to speak) that when fixed can make this production one that will be enjoyed by theater audiences fro generations to come! This production features songs from te animated film( Richard M.Sherman and
16 NuevoImpact July 2013
Robert B. Sherman) as well as original music for this production ( Lorraine Feather and Paul Grabowsky,Terry Gilkyson and Richard M. Sherman) and musical direction by Doug Peck to go along with direction by Ms Zimmerman and some clever choreography by Christopher Gattelli. This production is pure “spectacle” filled with a colorful set (Daniel Ostling), colorful and clever costumes (Mara Blumenfeld),great lighting (T.J. Gerckens) and near perfect sound by Ray Nardelli,Joshua Horvath and Andre J. Pluess. The cast of actors that bring this story to life is amazing. The story, again, a combination of the Disney animated film and Kipling’s poetic look at “loss of childhood innocence” is a well conceived look at the world as we meet a “human cub” Mowgli ( who begins as a puppet and then is portrayed with great skill by the incredible ten years old,Akash Chopra) who we follow as he is being brought from www.nuevoimpact.com
the world of the jungle, where he has been raised to be returned to the world of the human, where he belongs. It is an incredible journey.One that teaches not only our hero, but all the other jungle denizens! The colorful tales is told by elephants, serpents, a panther, a bear, vultures, orangutans and of course the tiger ( the villain of the tales, played by one of Chicago’s finest Larry Yando, who as always has just the right charm to balance out his evilness. The panther who is responsible for following the rules of the jungle is portrayed with a special touch by Usman Ally and two fo the show stopping numbers are handled by Andre DeShields as King Louie ( the comic Orangutan) and Kevin Carolan as Baloo the Bear. In addition, the stage at the Goodman is filled with lots of other solid talents,Ed Kross,Govind Kumar,Victor Wisehart,Monique Haley, Jeremy Duvall, Nikka Graff Latino Family Lifestyle Magazine

Entertainment
Lanzarone,Thomas Derrah and Geoff Packard- there are many more, each bringing his or her role/animal to the tale being told. The orchestra, which moves about the stage and into the story itself during the two plus hours of this production is composed of 12 musicians and Doug Peck bringing us the sounds of India as our other designers have done with costumes, set and design of lighting- while we know we are not in India’s jungles, we can feel that during this two hours plus, we have been transported from Dearborn between Lake and Randolph to another place, a special place, one that brings a story of growth, honor and loyalty to our eyes and ears, and yes, to our hearts. This sterling production, which I am sure will get even better during its initial run, will continue at The Goodman Theatre through August 11the with performances as follows: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. Matinees Thursdays and Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. Sundays at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.* *Check with box office on special dates
Tickets range from $30- $125 (if bringing children, I suggest 6 and up, know that there are no bad seats and the balcony may work better for them to see the entire stage) To purchase tickets go to the box office, call 312-443-3800 or visit www.GoodmanTheatre.org

ara aquellos que pronosticaron una reforma migratoria este mismo 2013, el año ha progresado de la manera anticipada: La batalla para una reforma migratoria ha tomado fuerza y ha llegado finalmente a la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos. El debate en el Senado fue corto y conciso; siempre se ha adelantado que la batalla real se dará en la Cámara baja, por la gran diversidad de opiniones que los diputados representan. Sin embargo, tanto el partido Demócrata, como el partido Republicano han expresado su compromiso para sacar adelante una reforma efectiva y por consecuencia el debate sobre los que esto significa es inevitable.

Una de las otras trabas de esta ley, es que su ejecución está ligada a la protección física de una de las fronteras más largas del mundo. El Congreso quiere que el Presidente provea un plan para asegurar la frontera, antes de permitir a millones de personas arreglar su estatus migratorio. Asimismo, la presente propuesta de ley no arreglará algunos de los problemas actualmente existentes en la ley, como la retroactividad de penas criminales y sus repercusiones migratorias. Por otro lado, la Suprema Corte de los Estados Unidos, finalmente ha reconocido que las parejas de esposos homosexuales deben recibir el mismo trato que los matrimonios tradicionales, lo cual se espera permitirá patrocinar a los esposos y esposas
