May 13, 2016

Available on 2017 Silverado LT, LTZ, and High Country trim levels, the High Desert package combines refined exterior styling, an all-new cargo system that is lockable and water resistant and available Magnetic Ride Control suspension on High Country

DETROIT, May 13, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Chevrolet today revealed the Silverado High Desert package, which will arrive in dealers this fall. Based on the concept vehicle revealed at the 2014 SEMA show, the High Desert package brings unique content and capability to Silverado’s lineup of special editions – which offers more choices for truck buyers than any other brand.

Available on LT, LTZ, and High Country trim levels, the High Desert package combines refined exterior styling, an all-new cargo system that is lockable and water resistant and available Magnetic Ride Control suspension on High Country.

“The High Desert package blends the capability and utility of Silverado with the refinement and luxury of Suburban,” said Sandor Piszar, director of Chevrolet truck marketing. “It’s ideal for those customers who want both the security of a lockable cargo area, as well as the flexibility of a pickup truck bed.”

An all-new flexible, lockable storage system in the cargo bed locks cargo away safely and protects it from the elements. The system installs over the roll-formed, high-strength steel bed to add dual side storage bins and a three-piece hard tonneau cover. Inside, a cargo divider can be raised to secure smaller items, or lowered to access the full length of the bed floor. As with all Silverado LT, LTZ, and High Country models, the tailgate locks with the keyfob, enabling users to secure their cargo with the push of a button. The High Desert package on the LT trim level features 20-inch wheels with all-season tires, while 22-inch wheels and all-terrain tires are available on LTZ and High Country trim levels.

The High Desert is also the first Silverado offered with Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which delivers more precise body motion control. Its sensors “read” the road every millisecond, triggering damping changes in as little as five milliseconds in electronically controlled shock absorbers that replace conventional mechanical-valve shocks. They’re filled with a magneto-rheological fluid containing minute iron particles and under the presence of a magnetic charge, the iron particles align to provide damping resistance. Changes in the magnetic charge alter the damping rate of the shocks, with changes occurring almost instantly.

Silverado’s EcoTec3 6.2L V-8, is available on LTZ and High Country models and is backed by the new Hydra-Matic 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine is SAE-certified at 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful engine offered in a light-duty truck.

Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world’s largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling more than 4.0 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature engaging performance, design that makes the heart beat, passive and active safety features and easy-to-use technology, all at a value.

Statement Of Dr. Edward R.B. McCabe, Chief Medical Officer, March Of Dimes On First Case Of Zika-Related Microcephaly In Puerto Rico

May 13, 2016

WASHINGTON, May 13, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The March of Dimes released today the following statement from Chief Medical Officer Dr. Edward R.B. McCabe regarding first reported case of microcephaly caused by Zika virus exposure in an infant born in Puerto Rico:

“Our hearts go out to the family whose infant developed severe microcephaly because the mother was infected with Zika virus during pregnancy. To our knowledge this is the first child with microcephaly caused by Zika in Puerto Rico.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150409/197662LOGO

“Sadly, this is not likely to be the last case of Zika-caused microcephaly in the United States. As summer approaches, there is a very real threat that Zika virus could gain a foothold in the United States. If that happens, great numbers of pregnant women and women of childbearing age will be at risk for Zika infection.

“The March of Dimes and a coalition of dozens of prominent health-related organizations have called upon the U.S. Congress to provide emergency funding immediately to combat Zika virus. With every passing week of delay, it becomes less likely that funds – even if passed – can make a meaningful difference this summer. Puerto Rican authorities are doing the best they can with the limited resources available to them, but we are seeing the consequences of political indecision on the public’s health.

“The dreadful consequences of inaction will be borne by the most vulnerable: our nation’s infants and their families. Once again, the March of Dimes urges Congress to act immediately to provide the resources needed to prevent the Zika virus from becoming endemic in the United States.”

Coachella Valley School District Reinvents Education

THERMAL, California, May 13, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Students from the Desert Mirage High School Aviation Academy accepted the keys to a donated fully operable Gulfstream GII on behalf of the new Jacqueline Cochran Discovery of Flight and Education Center.

Video – http://youtu.be/OweYEv09vAU

In partnership with the airport, the Coachella Valley Unified School District launched the Aviation Academy in 2015 as part of the school district’s Wall-to-Wall Academies and Full STEAM Ahead initiative: career-based programs around disciplines in Science, Technology, Engineering/Education, Arts/Athletics, and Math.

According to aerospace giant Boeing, the aviation industry is experiencing a shortage of skilled employees. Peni Nelson, Thermal Airport manager for Landmark Aviation, sees collaborating with the Coachella Valley Unified School District as an opportunity to trigger interest in young people.

“The airport is literally in our students’ backyard. The jobs are out there. What an opportunity to introduce them to aviation right here at home through the aviation academy at the school district and now our new Jacqueline Cochran Discovery of Flight and Education Center,” she said.

Two female students from Coachella Valley High School, who aspire to become pilots, also got to take their inaugural flight lessons during the event.

“I’m very grateful that I get this opportunity…there’s [only] a handful of these academies in the United States, I’m grateful to have one in our community; [access to] this airport and new education center is going to open up doors and…motivate other young women and men to pursue their dream and do something in aviation,” said junior Maria Barragan.

Like Coachella Valley Unified, more and more school systems are investing in academy models, as students enrolled in such programs have nearly a 100% graduation rate.

“The board was very adamant about having career academies that students will be able to graduate from with certifications,” said Coachella Valley Unified Superintendent Dr. Darryl Adams. “It helps their education go to another level. So, we’re all very proud to see this come to fruition. If we help students find their passion in life, they never have to work a day in their life.”

CVUSD is one of the poorest districts in California. 100% of its students are on free/reduced lunch. For more information about how CVUSD is reinventing education Click Here.

City of San Antonio Effectively Ends Veteran Homelessness

May 13, 2016

0

Diverse, internationally connected and globally competitive, San Antonio has a vibrant culture and economy and is consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the United States. America's seventh-largest city offers opportunities in industries ranging from bioscience, financial services, aerospace, cybersecurity, energy and transportation manufacturing to healthcare. We are "Military City USA," home to crucial military commands supported by a patriotic citizenry. We welcome 31 million visitors annually who inject $13.4 billion annually into our economy, and UNESCO recently designated the city's Spanish colonial missions as a World Heritage Site.

SAN ANTONIO, May 13, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, San Antonio Mayor Ivy R. Taylor announced that the City of San Antonio has met the objectives of the Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary JuliánCastro, City Manager Sheryl Sculley, major initiative stakeholders including USAA and multiple non-profit collaborative partners joined Mayor Taylor to make the announcement and celebrate this historic milestone.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160512/367218LOGO

“In January 2015, I pledged my commitment to the Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness,” Mayor Taylor stated. “Together, the City of San Antonio, our business sector led by USAA, and our non-profit partners have achieved the goal of effectively ending veteran homelessness in our community.”

The Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness is part of a larger White House Joining Forces Initiative supported by HUD, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness and the National League of Cities. The call-to-action was announced by First Lady Michelle Obama in June 2014 and answered by more than 850 cities and communities across the United States.

“San Antonio is a city with a strong military history that knows how to care for our veterans and their families,” Secretary Castro said. “That’s why we have an even greater responsibility to ensure that once they’ve served their nation, they have a safe, stable place to call home. I’m so proud to congratulate the city and its partners on working tirelessly to give our veterans a dignified home, setting an example for communities across the nation.”

The initiative, supported by local, state and federal resources, was enhanced through a $2.1 million contribution from USAA in January 2016. USAA’s financial support was earmarked to help close the funding gap for the highest barrier to veterans for housing. Due to community-wide commitment, more than 1,335 homeless veterans have been placed or are in the process of being placed into permanent housing.

“Effectively ending veteran homelessness is a great example of what can be achieved when communities identify a problem and work collaboratively to fix it,” said Shon Manasco, executive vice president and chief administrative officer of USAA. “We are grateful to play a small part in helping ensure homeless veterans have access to permanent and supportive housing.”

San Antonio has identified every homeless veteran by name and has a support system in place to ensure no veterans are sleeping on the streets, every veteran has access to permanent housing and the community has the capacity to ensure veteran homelessness, when it occurs, is rare, brief and non-recurring. The effectiveness of this system is based on implemented prevention strategies and rapid identification, outreach, engagement, housing placement and supportive services offered to veterans who may become homeless.

U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert A. McDonald added, “The progress achieved in San Antonio and across the nation to end homelessness among veterans reflects the power of partnerships in solving complex national problems. The men and women who have fought for this nation should not have to fight to keep a roof over their head, which is why VA is serving more veterans than ever before with healthcare, education, job training and wraparound supportive services. There has been tremendous effort across the country to end homelessness among veterans and that work must continue. San Antonio serves as an example of what can be done when the community comes together to care for those who have served our nation and I congratulate them.”

“San Antonio is yet another example of the right leaders coming together around the right strategies to end homelessness in this country,” said Matthew Doherty, executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. “We applaud Mayor Taylor and the partners in San Antonio who have joined 23 communities and two states in proving that homelessness is solvable, not just for Veterans, but for everyone.”

City Manager Sculley applauded staff and initiative partners. “The leadership of the City of San Antonio’s Department of Human Services in establishing program systems and the front line efforts of our community partners were instrumental to success of the challenge,” she said.

The Homeless Veteran Community Collaborative includes: South Alamo Regional Alliance for the Homeless (SARAH), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs – South Texas Veterans Healthcare System, American GI Forum National Veterans Outreach Program, Family Endeavors, San Antonio Housing Authority, Housing Authority of Bexar County, SAMMinistries and Haven for Hope.

Goal achievement does not mean local veterans will never face homelessness in the future. Rather, when these crises occur, veterans will have access to needed support services to quickly stabilize housing. The City of San Antonio encourages veterans and their families who may be struggling with homelessness to contact SARAH at 210-220-2382 or via email at [email protected].

The announcement was streamed live via Periscope on twitter.com/cosagov and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/usaa. The official hashtag for the event is #EndVetHomelessnessSA and additional information is available through this link: Mayors Challenge Veteran Profile Storybook.

Statement of National Alliance for Hispanic Health on Judge Collyer’s ruling in House v. Burwell

May 12, 2016

0

WASHINGTON, May 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — “Today’s ruling by US District Court Judge Rosemary Collyer means that millions have their coverage put at risk,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance), the nation’s leading Hispanic health advocacy group.

“With some plans already considering pulling out of the ACA marketplace and others planning rate hikes for 2017, today’s ruling adds to the great uncertainty of millions of Americans.”

“The ruling striking down sections of the Affordable Care Act endangers the health plans of almost 7 million Americans whose insurers receive subsidies to reduce cost sharing for their enrollees. Coupled with the 4 million persons who cannot afford plans because their state did not expand Medicaid, the ruling (if upheld) will significantly limit access to health insurance.”

“It is important, however, for those with coverage to know that their current plans are in place because Judge Collyer stayed her decision until an appeal could be heard. If you need support during this confusing time, call our toll-free and bilingual Su Familia Helpline at 1-866-783-2645. We are here to help you understand your options for your and your family’s health and well-being,” concluded Dr. Delgado.

Armando Christian Perez – globally known as Pitbull – is everywhere. From landing # 1 hits in over 15 countries, 8 billion YouTube/VEVO views, 70 million single sales, and 6 million album sales, Pitbull does not stop. His relentless work ethic transformed him into a Grammy-winning international superstar, visionary entrepreneur, fashion maven, and successful actor. His social media presence speaks to nearly 90 million people daily, matching some television networks. Also known as “Mr. 305” and “Mr. Worldwide,” he is as ubiquitous as Google or Microsoft, while preparing to release his tenth full-length album, 2016’s Climate Change. Outside of entertainment, Pitbull is making history in the business world. Whether it’s his Voli Vodka, fragrance line “Pitbull,” strategic alliance with Playboy Enterprises, or the partnerships with brands from Bud Light, Kodak, and Dr. Pepper to Dodge and Norwegian Cruise Lines, his influence has catapulted. He has his own Sirius XM Radio station, Pitbull’s Globalization and his production company, “Honey, I’m Home.” Pitbull also a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a wax figure in Madame Tussauds in Orlando, serves as an ambassador for “Visit Florida” and received a key to the city of Miami.

In the past 5 years, multi-platinum award-winning Latin superstar Prince Royce has scored 12 number one Latin hits, 20 Latin Billboard Awards, 18 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, 19 Premios Juventud (Youth Choice) Awards, and earned 8 Latin Grammy nominations. Royce has a massive fan base with over 1 billion streams online, 33.5 million followers on Facebook, 5.2 million on Twitter and 4.8 million on Instagram. He has sold out the most prestigious venues in Latin America, as well as concerts throughout the US including Radio City Music Hall, The Nokia Theater and the Theater at Madison Square Garden. At the age of 22 he was honored with a Latin Billboard Award for Composer of the Year, becoming the youngest artist to garner the award. In November 2014, he released the electro-pop/R&B banger “Stuck on a Feeling,” featuring Snoop Dogg, followed by the May 2015 release of the dancehall-flavored “Back It Up” (featuring Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez) – two tracks from his first English-language album, “Double Vision”. This year, he releases his highly anticipated fourth Spanish-language album which promises to be a huge success. The first single off the upcoming album “Culpa Al Corazón” reached #1 on Billboard’s Latin Songs (across all Latin genres), Latin Pop and Tropical Charts. Recently, Royce co-starred as Peter in the Fox live musical broadcast of “The Passion” and is part of the cast of the next season of Hulu’s “East Los High” due out July 2016.

Infusing romantic lyrical content into Latin urban music, FARRUKO’s highly popular and unique sound has made him a leader in the Reggaeton movement. Recognized by Billboard as one of Reggaeton’s “rising stars, reinforcing the genre’s strength and giving us plenty of party music,” the 24-year-old artist is far from a rookie. He has collaborated with other Latin music superstars, including Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, J Balvin, Nicky Jam, and Yandel, among others. Demonstrating his versatility, his hits include songs that seamlessly crossover into pop, bachata, mambo, vallenato and R&B, creating an impressive musical repertoire full of remarkable fusions that highlight his deep musical knowledge and diverse sounds. FARRUKO finished 2015 as his most successful year yet, taking home two awards at Premios Lo Nuestro for Urban Song of the Year and Urban Collaboration of the Year and a Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Rhythm Song of the Year. Then, in October, Farruko delights the masses with yet another new album, “Visionary,” which was released in pre-sale and in just hours reached the #1 in iTunes’ “Top Latin Albums” list, position in which it stayed until three weeks after its official launch. Now at the pinnacle of his career, FARRUKO will not let anything stop him from dominating the industry in 2016.
