ellos.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
From Emilio Zamora
I sent the following (lightly edited)
letter to the editor of the Austin American
Statesman in response to an article on
police profiling that spoke about the
problem in White-Black terms despite the
fact that their own data show how much
more important it is to the MexicanLatino-Hispanic community.
The newspaper did not print it: “The
latest report on racial profiling in Waller
County by the Statesman (“Blacks Cited
More than Blacks,” August 16, 2015) is
badly flawed. The writers note that Blacks
are less likely than Whites to receive
warnings, suggesting that police officers
cite them more often for traffic violations.
Their interpretations, however, overlook
their own tabular data showing that
“Hispanics” receive even few warnings
than Blacks, 48.5% compared to 62.1%
for Blacks.The problem of misleading
inter-pretations continues when the
Statesman writers quote Frank
Baumgartner, a scholar known for racial
profiling studies in North Carolina and
Kansas. He too reportedly stated to the
Statesman that “minorities” are facing
more serious problems, despite the fact
that their report also adds that Hispanics
are more likely to face a greater degree of
profiling. According to a February 2012
report byBaumgartner and Epp on the
subject (http://www.unc.edu/ …/
Baumgartner-Traffic-Stops-Statistics1…), Hispanics face greater disparity than
Whites and Blacks in most if not all
profiling categories. What can we draw
from this? That journalists and researchers
can overlook Hispanics despite their own
evidence to the contrary? That Hispanics
continue to be invisible to American
society even when they face more serious
social problems? That the dismissal of
Hispanics or the obfuscation of racial/
ethnic date is thenew sign of discrimination and inequality?” Under such circumstances, my father would say, “Otra vez la
burra al maiz.”

Olga Campos Benz: Advocate for The People
By Liz Lopez
For a number
of years Olga Campos was well known in
Austin as one of the
top Latina television
anchor/reporter in the
state. But prior to
newscasting in Austin,
The University of
Texas graduate had
served several years in
television in Houston
and Corpus Christi.
Before leaving
her over thirty year
career in 2011, Olga
was known as a strong
advocate in the
broadcasting field,
seeing that Latinos
were recognized for
their contributions in
the arts, entertainment,
business and educational areas of our
society.
Since retirement she is
known as Olga Campos Benz adding
her married name with husband
Kevin. The mother of twin daughters, Corazon and Allegra, Olga has
continued her advocacy role to make
Austin and the world a better place.
She has increased her work
by serving as a volunteer/board
member for numerous nonprofit
groups and charity causes, including
organizations such as the Health
Alliance for Austin Musicians
(HAAM), the Austin Film Festival,
the Development Committee of the
Austin Film Society, the Advisory
Council of the University of Texas
Division of Diversity and Community Engagement and the Luncheon
Committee of Austin Gives. Most
recently she became a board member
of The Long Center.
She was inducted in 2014
into the City of Austin Commission
for Women Hall of Fame and was
featured by Austin Business Journal
in their 2013 “Profiles in Power:
Women of Influence.”
In late August, the Greater
Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GAHCC) gave her the

Austin ,Texas
inaugural Hispanic Austin Leadership
(HAL) Distinguished Alumni Award.
The recognition is for her exemplary
record of distinguished service and
achievement in the community as an
alumnus of the program.
In spite of her busy schedule,
Olga has written a book, “It’s News to
Me.” The book takes readers behind the
scenes of the often funny and unbelievable world of television news.
I spoke with Olga after her
most recent award and talked about her
experiences leading to where she is
today.We talked about her inspiration
for her journalism career.
“I enjoyed meeting people.
Everybody has a story. In school, I
learned the best process to ask questions
in order to get their story. It was challenging but rewarding,” she stated.
Working at this career for over
thirty years in Texas gave her opportunities to meet and interview a wide
range of individuals. She shared a
highlight. “It is the everyday people.
The voices that are usually not heard –
women, minorities and children.”
She also noted that journalism
has evolved over the years and she
provided some insight for aspiring
journalists. “Look at the leaders in
journalism now,” citing Jorge Ramos as
an example. “You don’t wait to ask
questions. You can be assertive. These
are their rules, not your rules. Be
assertive, confident and go after the
tough questions.”
After leaving the broadcast
world, Olga sought a job that helped
her to continue to give back to the
community. This drive for advocacy
and leadership she attributes to her
mother’s actions. After retiring from
an extensive career in education, her
mother ran for a political office in
Houston, with the intent to “make
policy” and not “follow anymore.”
Olga is now the Community
Relations Director for businessman
and philanthropist, Milton Verret.

además se
trata de un

Cigarrillos electrónicos plantea un peligro
de intoxicación para los niño
La intoxicación con nicotina es un
problema creciente en los niños
estadounidenses, pero unas regulaciones
propuestas por el gobierno federal de
EE. UU. no son suficiente para resolver
el problema, plantea un experto.
La creciente popularidad de los
cigarrillos electrónicos ha conducido a
una cantidad de casos de intoxicación
con nicotina en años recientes, advierten
los Centros para el Control y la
Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) de
EE. UU.
La Administración de Alimentos y
Medicamentos (FDA) de EE. UU.
espera obligar a que los productos de
nicotina líquida tengan etiquetas de
advertencia y paquetes resistentes a los
niños, como los usados en los cigarrillos
electrónicos. Incluso una cantidad
pequeña de nicotina líquida puede
resultar letal, enfatizó en un comunicado
de prensa de la Universidad Estatal de
Pensilvania Jonathan Foulds, profesor de
ciencias de la salud pública en el
Colegio de Medicina de la universidad.
Las medidas propuestas por la
FDA ayudarían, pero es importante que
los adultos usen de forma constante las
características diseñadas para proteger a los
niños y que mantengan todas las fuentes de
nicotina fuera del alcance de los niños, dijo
Foulds.
“Dicho de forma simple, la nicotina
es un veneno, y los consumidores deben
responsabilizarse de mantenerla lejos de los
niños, independientemente de que esté o no
en un recipiente a prueba de niños”,
comentó.
Una sobredosis de nicotina puede
provocar ansiedad, náuseas, mareo,
vómitos, pérdida de la conciencia o incluso
la muerte. Todos los productos que
contienen nicotina (que incluyen los
cigarrillos, la nicotina líquida y las pastillas
de reemplazo de nicotina) pueden resultar
nocivos para los niños, y deben estar en
recipientes a prueba de niños, explicó
Foulds.
“Hay cientos de casos de
intoxicaciones con cigarrillos cada año, de
forma que todos los productos de nicotina,
incluyendo los cigarrillos, deberían venir en
paquetes a prueba de niños”, planteó.Por

Austin Animal Center Seeks Volunteers
With 18,000 animals
coming through its doors each
year, the Austin Animal Center
needs your help to provide love
and attention to homeless cats,
dogs and small animals.
Volunteers are critical to ensuring the shelter’s pets receive
exercise, attention and
enrichment.Volunteers also
provide support in other key
areas, including matching pets
with adopters, providing toys and
treats to cats and dogs, and
greeting visitors and answering
questions.
With an easy onboarding
process, new volunteers will be
able to start soon after attending
orientation session.Upcoming
orientations will be Oct. 8, 15, 18,
22, 24 and 29 and Nov. 7. Sign up
to attend by visiting
https://www.givepulse.com/
event/12450-New-VolunteerOrientation.
Want to make a difference
in the lives of homeless pets in
America’s largest No Kill city?
Here are just some of the positions you’ll be able to choose
from:
• Adoption specialist: Help
adopters find the right pet for
their family. Many visitors walk
away without adopting
simply because the Austin Animal
Center facility is so large and can
be overwhelming. This position’s
primary functions are to help
people visit with pets, answer
questions about each animal, and
providing counseling, education
and resources.
• Cat enrichment volunteer:
AAC can be a scary place for
cats, with lots of noise and
activity. Cat enrichment volunteers spend time giving extra love
and attention to fearful felines. They
also make sure rambunctious kittens
get much-needed exercise and toys.
Cats need time out of their kennels
too, so cat volunteers make sure
kitties
get breaks from the stress of
confinement.
• Dog enrichment volunteer: If
you’ve visited AAC, you know there
are lots of dogs. Dog enrichment
volunteers make sure all dogs get
the exercise and attention they need
to stay happy and healthy while they
wait for their homes. Many of the
medium and large dogs wait months
to find their new families, so dog
enrichment volunteers play a lifesaving role. Volunteers can work
with dogs, both on and offsite, and
many of the volunteers foster their
favorite dogs. Have a training or
behavior background? You can help
teach dogs basic obedience skills
through positive reinforcement
training.
• Clean team: Do you love to
organize and clean? You’re needed
to help manage donations; stuffing;
handing out and cleaning Kong toys;
and helping with basic tasks like
spot-cleaning, washing dishes and
doing laundry.
• Greeters: One of the most
important volunteer roles in the
entire shelter, the greeter is the first
person visitors see when they walk
through the door. This position
answers questions, guides potential
adopters to the appropriate areas and
serves as a point of contact for visit
Greeting has a huge impact on
whether they adopt a pet, so this role
is perfect for outgoing, social
people.

Mexic-Arte Museum Presents Dia De Los Muertos Exhibition and Viva La Vida Festival
The exhibit represents the
Mexic-Arte Museum’s more than three
decade quest to inform the public about
the significance of the celebration.
Methods the Museum has used over the
years include the
presentation of exhibitions, performances, street festivals, videos, murals,
installations, processions,
publications and other manifestations.
This project illustrates the
impact that Mexic-Arte Museum has
made in the Austin community. The
exhibition presents Museum archival
materials from the past 31 years and
examines an emerging social phenomenon among a growing population—
how Mexic-Arte Museum’s
Día de los Muertos efforts have transformed a Mexican religious holiday into
a uniquely central Texas celebration of
Mexican and Mexican American life and
cultural identity.
Mindful of the day’s historicalreligious roots, Mexic-Arte Museum
helped transform the celebration by
mixing popular with traditional materials, sacred with secular objects, personal
with social issues, and popular art with
contemporary expressions. The underlying Mexican sense of commitment to
honor the deceased has remained, but the
public expression has evolved into a voice
for the Latino/a
community.
On yet
another
level, the
MexicArte
Museum
has
utilized
Día de los
Muertos
to
celebrate
the
community’s faith; comment on current
issues such as immigration reform and the
death penalty; and
express a uniquely Austin Mexican and
Mexican American identity and heritage.
This project will help
galvanize local Latino/a culture and
demonstrate its contributions to American/
Texas culture.
This program is made possible in
part by a grant from Humanities Texas,
the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Texas Commis-
sion on the Arts, and the City of Austin.
Mexic-Arte Museum will
also hold itd Viva la Vida Festival
on
October
31, 2015
from
12:00pm
–
8:00pm
in
downtown
Austin.
This
year,
Austin’s
largest and longest-running Day of the
Dead event and features a grand procession, artist vendors, live music, a
grand sugar skull piñata float by local
piñata artisans Monica and Sergio
Lejarazu, an exhibitionwith community
altars inside the Museum, and educational
programs. Attendees can also enjoy food
from Chi’Lantro and Veracruz All
Natural, hands-on art activities, and
special performances by Tiarra Girls, DJ
Chorizo Funk, Gina Chavez, and more!
The 2015 event is co-sponsored by the
City of Austin.

Chía para tener a raya la presión y la glucosa
La chía, una diminuta y milenaria
semilla, también conocida como salvia
hispánica, es un alimento que se ha
puesto de moda y que muchas personas
han
empezado a
consumir
por las
bondades
que la
sabiduría
popular le
atribuye en
pro de la
salud.
Ahora, la
ciencia ha
comprobado
sus
beneficios a
nivel molecular con sorprendentes
resultados.
• 10 semillas que no deben faltar
en tu dieta Junto con el maíz, el frijol y
el amaranto, la chía era considerada uno
de los cultivos básicos para culturas
prehispánicas del centro y sur de
México. Los mayas y aztecas la usaban
en distintos preparados nutricionales y
medicinales. Para los aztecas era fuente
de energía para travesías prolongadas y
alimento para los guerreros. Para los
mayas era uno de los cuatro cultivos
básicosdestinados a su alimentación.
Por ello, científicos del Centro de
Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados
(Cinvestav) Unidad Irapuato,del
Instituto Politécnico Nacional en
México, decidieron comprobar a nivel
molecular los beneficios que representa
esta semilla, de manera que puedan ser
empleados para el desarrollo de nuevos
productos con alto valor agregado, y no
solo se venda para el consumo directo,
como actualmente se comercializa.
• 10 semillas con poderes
medicinales En información difundida
por el Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y
Tecnología (Conacyt), Octavio Paredes
López, titular de la investigación,
destacó que este tipo de análisis resulta
importante para desterrar los mitos sobre
el uso de la chía y proporcionar
información certera sobre las
propiedades que, tras un análisis
científico, se han identificado en la
semilla.
La investigación del Cinvestav
reveló que la chía tiene propiedades
nutracéuticas (término empleado para
denominar a los alimentos que nutren y
ayudan a prevenir enfermedades e
incluso a controlarlas)
relacionadas con la pérdida de peso,
el control de presión arterial, actividad
hipoglucemiante (disminuir
los niveles de glucosa en sangre) y
reforzar el
sistema
inmunológico.
• 10
súper especias
con bondades
antioxidantes
La chía es
particularmente
rica en Omega
3 y 6, lo que la
hace útil en el
control de la
presión arterial,
además de
contener fibras
dietéticas, compuestos fenólicos y una alta
concentración de proteínas, añadió Paredes
López.
Para realizar los trabajos sobre la
chía, el grupo de investigación hizo una
selección de muestras del cultivo de todo el
país provistas por agricultores y también
cultivadas por los propios investigadores,las

Sin embargo, el investigador aclaró
que los beneficios de los componentes de la

USC Study Confirms The Lack Of Diversity In Film
While hosting this year’s Oscars,
Neil Patrick Harris joked that the awards
show honors “Hollywood’s best and
whitest. Sorry, brightest.” The comment
has a troubling amount of truth behind it.
A new USC study confirms the
lack of diversity in film that Harris
lambasted. Nearly three quarters (73.1%)
of all the speaking or named characters in
the 100 top-grossing movies of 2014 were
white, according to Inequality in 700
Popular Films, a study from the Media,
Diversity & Social Change Initiative at the
USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
The study examined gender, race and
ethnicity in films from 2007 to 2014. The
report found 4.9% of all speaking or
named characters in the 100 top-grossing
movies of 2014 were Hispanics or
Latinos, who comprise 17% of the
population. According to the Motion
Picture Association of America,
Hispanics account for 25% of frequent
moviegoers, while Asians make up 8% of
the population and 9% of frequent
moviegoers. African-Americans comprise
12% of all moviegoers.
Along gender lines, 30.2% of the 30,835
speaking characters evaluated were female
across the 700 topgrossing films and only
11% of the films had gender-balanced
casts or featured girls/women in roughly
half (45-54.9%) of the speaking roles.
Only 17 of the 100 top films of 2014
featured a main actor from an
underrepresented ethnic group and
a full 17 films did not feature a single
black character. Across the 100 top films
of 2014, only five of
the 107 directors (4.7%) were black —
only one was female and black. Of the
films with a black director, 40.2% of all
characters were black. When the director
was not black, only 10.6% of all onscreen
speaking or named characters were black.
The report also found only 45 black
directors have been attached to the 700
top-grossing films – that means just 5.8%
of all top-grossing films in the last seven
years were directed by black directors.
Only 19 Asian directors worked
across the 700 top-grossing films,
meaning just 2.4% of recent topgrossing
films were directed by Asians. (Only one
Asian co-director was female across the
films
analyzed.)
Across 4,610 speaking characters
in the 100 top films of 2014, only 19 were
lesbian, gay or bisexual.Not one
transgender character was portrayed. Ten
characters were coded as gay, four were
lesbian and five were bisexual. Only 14
movies sample wide featured an LGB
depiction and none of those films were
animated. By Reece Ristau

La gran cantante Gloria Trevi
Gloria de
los Angeles
Treviño Ruiz
nació un 15 de
febrero de 1970
en Monterrey,
Nuevo León, hija
de Manuel
Treviño y Gloria
Ruiz.
Desde niña
demostró pasión
y talento por las
artes plásticas, el
canto y el baile,
por lo que su
madre permitió
que se presentara
a cuanta prueba infantil tenía lugar en la
capital.
Siendo adolescente emigra a la
ciudad de México para probar fortuna, y
es entonces que conoce al productor
Sergio Andrade, quien la invitó a formar
parte del grupo pop Boquitas Pintadas,
junto con Pilar (la vocalista), Mónica,
María Raquenel y Claudia. El 18 de enero
de 1986, tras año y medio de preparación,
el disco del grupo salió al mercado bajo el
sello WEA. Seis meses después de
recorrer la república mexicana dando
presentaciones, Andrade disolvió al grupo,
pero Gloria permaneció en la capital sin
comunicarse con su familia durante varios
meses. cuando lo hizo, informó a su
madre que Andrade la estaba preparando
para lanzarse en solitario. En 1989 cambió
su identidad para convertirse en Gloria
Trevi, y de la mano profesional de Sergio
Andrade alcanrzaria la cima de la fama.
Su primer álbum titulado Qué Hago
Aquí, salió al mercado y se hizo popular
gracias al tema Dr. Psiquiatra, que invadió
las pistas de baile mexicanas. En 1991
salió al mercado Tu Angel de la Guarda, el
álbum más importante en la carrera de la
Trevi, cuyo sencillo Pelo Suelto inspiró la
filmación de una película con el mismo
título.
A este le siguieron Me siento tan
sola (1992 ), Más turbada que nunca
(1994) y Si me Llevas Contigo (1995).
Para entonces, su popularidad la había
llevado hasta el mundo del cine, donde
filmó tres películas: Pelo suelto (1992),
Zapatos viejos (1994) y Papa sin catsup
(1995).
Pero entonces, el rumbo de la
carrera y la vida de Gloria daría un giro de
360 grados en 1995 a partir de la
publicación del libro De la Gloria al
infierno, escrito por la ex esposa de Sergio
Andrade, Aline, en el que se denunciaba
Angel Handyman
Fencing
Wood
Painting
Flooring
Siding
Roofing
Sheetrock
Landscaping
supuesta prácticas sexuales entre el
manager y varias de las chicas que
trabajaban con él, incluyendo a Trevi,
Mary Boquitas y Karina Yapor.
Tras estos escándalos, el ya para
entonces denominado "Clan Andrade"
salió de México, para refugiarse en
España, Chile y Argentina, hasta
refugiarse en Brasil. El contrato con BMG
no había espirado y la disquera demandó a
la cantante y a Sergio para que
entreguaran un disco, pero la desaparición
de ambos hace imposible llevar a cabo
una promoción. La disquera se ve
obligada a sacar un disco recopilatorio al
mercado, titulado De Pelos: Lo Mejor de
Gloria, que sale en 1997.
Dos años más tarde, sale al mercado
No Soy Monedita de Oro, un álbum con
temas inéditos del que nadie explica la
procedencia. El libro de Aline, ex mujer
de Andrade, que denunciaba los malos
tratos a los que fue sometida en el clan y
la demanda que los padres de la joven
Karina Yapor impusieron contra Andrade
y Trevi, aumentaron las sospechas contra
el productor y la cantante, quienes fueron
capturados en Brasil el 13 de enero del
2000.
Después de varios años en prisión,
Gloria Trevi cumplió su condena en el
2004, y tras un proceso de recuperación
vuelve a la música en el 2005 con el disco
Como nace el universo, y con la gira
Trevolution, que la coloca de nueva
cuenta en los escenario y en contacto con
su público.
En el 2006 se estrena con Univision
Music con el disco en vivo La trayectoria,
en la que recopila sus temas más
conocidos. Gloria lanzó ese mismo año La
historia un CD recopilatorio en donde por
supuesto no podían faltar temas como
Zapatos Viejos, El Recuento de los Daños,
Con los ojos Cerrados y Los Borregos. Al

año siguente, 2007, sale a la venta Una
Rosa Blu, disco del que se desprende
Pruébamelo, Cinco Minutos y Psicofonía.
Estos temas alcanzaron los primeros
lugares en las radiodifusoras mexicanas.
Los Premios Lo Nuestro 2007 se
engalanaron con la presencia de esta
artista mexicana, en donde con una
impactante coreografía y gran voz
interpretó Todos Me Miran, con la cual
puso a bailar a todos los asistentes.
Tal fue la atracción que trajo
consigo Cinco Minutos, que ahora cuenta
con la versión duranguense, en el cual la
cantautora trabajó con el grupo Los
Horóscopos de Durango, esta versión está
incluida en el más reciente álbum de esta
agrupación.
Gloria se presentó como toda una
reina en la entrega de los Premios Lo
Nuestro en 2009, aquí recibió el galardón
por Mejor Artista del Año, dejando en
claro que los años de experiencia la
colocan en el primer puesto de cualquier
competencia.
Así mismo asistió a los premios
Billboard, en donde además de llevarse
los aplausos de todos los asistentes, se
adjudicó el premio por mejor Tema Pop
Airplay del Año, esto gracias a su tema
Cinco Minutos. Pero con todos los
premios, la sencillez y el trabajo constante
de esta mexicana no para, y prueba de
ello es el nuevo video el tema El Favor de
la Soledad que Gloria realizó bajo la
dirección de Michelle Castro, hijo de la
actriz Verónica Castro.
Las adversidades que ha tenido que
vivir la intérprete de Zapatos viejos no son
impedimento para que ella continúe su
vida a plenitud, al contrario, ella sabe
sacarle provecho a esos problemas y lo
refleja en su música, ejemplo de esto es el
tema Que emane, cuya letra fue inspirada
en la vida de sus compañeras en la cárcel
y que forma parte de la serie televisiva
Mujeres asesinas.
Ella es madre, una mujer con gran
talento, pero sobre todo es una mujer que
impacta en cualquier lugar en el que se
encuentre.

Orquesta Buena Social Club Plays Their Adios Tour
The Grammy winning ensemble Orquesta Buena Vista Social
Club stops in Austin, Texas on the Adios
Tour this October- bringing the history,
excitement, and culture of Cuban music
to the Long Center. The thirteen piece
band, who’s most recent album “provides a gorgeous reminder of what made
it so famous to begin with — and what
we’ll all be missing,” plays their final
tour together this year. Tickets are on
sale now and start at $49.
Named after the members club
in Havana, Cuba that closed its doors in
the 1940s, Orquesta Buena Vista Social
Club became an international success,
and the ensemble was encouraged to
perform with a full line-up in
Amsterdam in April 1998. German
director Wim Wenders captured the
performance on film and the one that
followed on the 1st of July 1998 in
Carnegie Hall, New York City for a
documentary—also called Buena Vista
Social Club—that included interviews
with the musicians conducted in
Havana.
The success of both the album and
film sparked a revival of international
interest in traditional Cuban music and
Latin American music in general. Some of
the Cuban performers later released wellreceived solo albums and recorded collaborations with international stars from
different musical genres.
The “Buena Vista Social Club” name
became an umbrella term to describe these
performances and releases,and has been
likened to a brand label that encapsulates
Cuba’s “musical golden age” between the
1930s and 1950s.
Several surviving members of the
Buena Vista Social Club, such as trumpeter
Manuel “Guajiro” Mirabal,laúd player
Barbarito Torres and trombonist and
conductor Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos currently
tour worldwide, to popular acclaim, with
new members such as the singer Carlos
Calunga, virtuosopianist Rolando Luna [1]
[2] and occasionally the solo singer Omara
Portuondo, as part of a 13-member band
calledOrquesta Buena Vista Social Club.
Tickets are available at
TheLongCenter.org or by calling (512)
474.LONG (5664). Also available at the
Long Center’s 3M Box Office located at
701 West Riverside Drive at South First

Del equipo creativo de una de las
películas más taquilleras en México,
Nosotros los Nobles, llega a Netflix la
serie original de drama y comedia Club de
Cuervos, el primer programa en español
creado exclusivamente para esta red de
televisión por Internet, que presta servicio
a más de 62 millones de personas en 50
países.
La serie de 13 episodios trata sobre
una disputa entre los miembros de una
familia rica, Isabel Iglesias (Mariana
Treviño, Amor de mis Amores) y Chava
Iglesias (Luis Gerardo Méndez, Nosotros
los Nobles), quienes tras la muerte del
patriarca, pelean por determinar quién
asumirá el control del club de fútbol “Los
Cuervos de Nuevo Toledo”.
Club de Cuervos no es sólo sobre el
fútbol, es el escenario para contar la
historia de estos hermanos.
Además sirve para mostrar lo que
sucede cuando el poder cae en las manos
equivocadas.
El querer asumir la presidencia del
equipo puede que corrompa y destruya a
estos personajes apasionados,
obsesionados y complejos, los cuales se
verán obligados a corresponder a una
jugada que le hizo su padre a la
oportunista Mary Luz Solari, interpretada
por la actriz y cantante peruana Stephanie
Cayo.
Aparte de mostrar su “emoción”
sobre la premier de la serie, en entrevista
con El Latino San Diego, Méndez
comentó que Club de Cuervos está siendo
lanzada en buen tiempo, dado las
controversias que se han dado en el
mundo futbolero, tanto con la FIFA y la
despedida de Miguel “El Piojo” Herrera
como entrenador de la selección
mexicana.
NETFLIX
Luis Gerardo Méndez en escena de
“Club de Cuervos”. “El programa te
permite entrarle a la tripa del fútbol, pues
mostrará todo lo que sucede en la vida de
los directivos y jugadores afuera del
campo de juego”, agregó.
Mirando un poco hacia atrás,
Méndez contó que ha sido “un circulo de
emociones desde que recibimos la llamada
de este proyecto”.
“Primero me emocioné, luego me
dio terror y al mismo tiempo sentí un
nivel de responsabilidad”, dijo el
mexicano, refiriéndose al hecho que el
Club de Cuervos es la primera serie en
español creada para
Netflix, en la que además de actuar
participa como productor asociado.
“Dejé de pensar que era una
responsabilidad, y la empecé a ver como
una oportunidad”, apuntó.
Méndez señalo el público
definitivamente se asombra no sólo por
“los temas universales” y la “personalidad
propia” de la tragicomedia, sino por los
personajes increíbles.
“Mariana (Treviño) es una actriz
sorprendente y Stephanie (Cayo) fue un
gran hallazgo”, dijo el productor asociado,
quien estuvo a cargo de la selección del
reparto protagónico.
Club de Cuervos fue dirigida y
cocreada por Gary Alazraki, conocido por
su trabajo en la comedia Nosotros los
Nobles, y además cuenta con la actuación
de Daniel Cacho Giménez (Get the
Gringo), Ianis Guerrero (Nosotros los
Nobles) y Antonio de la Vega.

U.S.-MEXICO HIGH LEVEL ECONOMIC DIALOGUE
High-level Mexican and U.S.
government officials met via
videoconference recently to review
progress made under the U.S.-Mexico
High Level Economic Dialogue (HLED)
and to determine next steps in our efforts
to make North America the most competitive economic region in the world. The
meeting was chaired by U.S. Secretary of
Commerce Penny Pritzker and Mexican
Finance Minister Luis Videgaray Caso.
Participants from the U.S. side included
the National Security Council and the
Office of the Vice President, as well as the
Departments of Commerce, State,
Treasury, Homeland Security,
Energy, Interior, Transportation,
Labor, and Agriculture. Participants from
the Mexican side included the Ministries
of Foreign Affairs, Finance and Public
Credit, Economy, Communication and
Transportation, Energy, and Labor and
Social Welfare.
The group reviewed progress in the
six HLED priority areas of energy,
modern borders, workforce development,
regulatory cooperation, stakeholder
engagement, and regional and global
leadership. These priorities advance our
overarching goals of promoting competitiveness and connectivity; fostering
economic growth, productivity, entrepreneurship and innovation; and partnering
for regional and global leadership.
The group also highlighted the
important role of receiving input from the
private sector and civil society to ensure
the HLED remains strategic and relevant.
Officials from both governments maintain
dynamic interactions with members of the
private sector, business associations and
educational institutions, among others, to
gather input on HLED initiatives.
Specific accomplishments and
examples of ongoing collaboration
includeEnergy• A December 2014
Memorandum of Understanding signed by
the U.S. and MexicanSecretaries of
Energy and the Canadian Minister for
Natural Resources created the framework
for trilateral consultation and sharing of
energy information for the North American region. Protocols for information
sharing and a portal for international data
sharing have been established. A mapping
system, hosted by Mexico, resulted in the
creation of a number of infrastructure
maps.
