Borden Dairy Co. Delivers Tastes Of Mexico To The U.S. With New Imported Products

LALA Frutas Dairy and Fruit Beverage and Authentic, Hand-Twisted Oaxaca Cheese Now Available

DALLAS, April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire- HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Borden Dairy Company, a leading U.S. dairy processor and distributor, today announced that two of Mexico’s favorite LALA product lines are now available for the first time in the U.S.

The first offerings arrive on retailers’ shelves this month in Southern California, and include LALA Frutas dairy and fruit beverage and LALA Oaxaca Cheese. The products will be available to Texas consumers later this year.

“An estimated 10 million Hispanic individuals reside in Southern California, and they are interested in authentic Mexican brands with a genuine, made-in-Mexico taste. We are thrilled to bring some of Mexico’s most-loved LALA products to our customers in the U.S. Whether they remember growing up with these brands or want to introduce them to their children, Borden is happy to deliver the true taste of Mexico,” said Jenica Oliver, senior director of brand marketing and innovation at Borden Dairy Company.

LALA Frutas is an innovative mix of cultured low fat milk and fruit, providing flavor and nutrition to adults and children alike. According to Nielsen research, 50 percent of consumers don’t prefer plain milk. LALA Frutas, available in great-tasting strawberry and mango flavors, makes it easy and fun for everyone to get a daily dose of dairy. Additionally, the product is packaged in Tetra Gemina eco-friendly packaging that is more ergonomic than current gable top packaging and keeps the product fresher longer.

LALA Oaxaca Cheese is a stringy, hand-twisted queso with a smooth, mild flavor perfect for snacking. With a low melting point, the cheese creates a delicious and satiating quesadilla filling.

“We have made it a top priority to keep formulations and packaging the same as in Mexico to ensure brand authenticity and nostalgia. It’s all about delivering the best of the best for those missing the tastes of home,” said Oliver.

Hinchcliffe and Honda Win in New Orleans

– Pit strategy pays dividends as James Hinchcliffe claims first IndyCar win of 2015

– James Jakes completes a 1-3 finish for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports

– Simona de Silvestro runs fourth for Honda and Andretti Autosport

NEW ORLEANS, April 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A gamble on pit strategy – making just a single pit stop for fuel and dry weather tires – rewarded Honda driver James Hinchcliffe with victory Sunday in the Indy Grand Prix of New Orleans, his first Verizon IndyCar Series win of 2015 and fourth career victory.

Hinchcliffe’s Schmidt Peterson Motorsports teammate, James Jakes, recovered from an early-race spin to finish third while Simona de Silvestro made it three Hondas in the top four positions at the end of a rain-and-crash shortened inaugural Indy car event at NOLA Motorsports Park.

Starting 16^th on a damp, but drying, race track following heavy morning showers, Hinchcliffe pitted on Lap 13 for fuel and a change to the soft compound “Red” dry-weather tires. It would be his only stop of the 47-lap contest. Hinchcliffe cycled to the front of the field as others made additional stops, then maintained his advantage through a series of restarts in a caution-filled event that featured a total of six yellow flags for 26 laps.

After spinning on Lap 19, Jakes also went off-sequence and recovered to finish third, his first podium result since returning to Indy car competition this season, while de Silvestro gained more than a half-dozen positions on rain tires, then also went off-sequence to finish fourth.

The Verizon IndyCar Series now heads west to California for the third round of the 16-race 2015 season, the Grand Prix of Long Beach, starting 4 p.m. EDT Sunday, April 19, with live television coverage on the NBC Sports Network.

Video recaps from this weekend’s Indy car race weekend in New Orleans, produced by the Carolinas Production Group, are being posted on the “Honda Racing/HPD” YouTube channel. The video packages can be found in the 2015 HPD Trackside Video Playlist at: https://www.youtube.com/HondaRacingHPDTV

James Hinchcliffe (#5 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports Honda) started 16^th, finished 1^st, 1^st victory of 2015 and 4^th career Indy car victory: “We made the [one pit stop] strategy call because of the weather [rain was approaching the circuit], but it turned out that it was all the cautions that made it work for us. On one hand, I do feel bad for all of the fans, because we didn’t have more green-flag laps. But on the other hand, the strategy call was awesome and our car was unbelievable on the ‘Reds’ [softer, dry-weather tires]. We pulled away from a couple of Penskes on those restarts. If we had gone green, I think we still would’ve held them off to the end, as long as we had fuel. It’s great to get our first win of ’15 for Honda, and our first win for [team owners] Sam [Schmidt] and Ric [Peterson].”

Simona de Silvestro (#25 Andretti Autosport Honda) started 18^th, finished 4^th: “This was huge for us. We struggled earlier in the weekend, but conditions played into our hands. The car was fantastic on rain tires, and I passed a lot of people early in the race. The team made a great call on the pit stop for [dry-weather] tires, and on the second stop as well. That gained us a few more positions and then I finally got Tony [Kanaan, for fourth place]. It is a great day, for us and for Honda, and a great result for the Andretti Autosport team.”

Art St. Cyr (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s victory in New Orleans: “This was a great result for James [Hinchcliffe], Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and everyone at Honda Performance Development. Today’s win was the result of some great strategy by the SPM team, awesome driving from James Hinchcliffe, and some great mileage from the Honda Twin-Turbo Indy V6 engine. We know there is still a lot of work ahead of us as we head into three very important race weekends for Honda – Long Beach, Barber and Indianapolis – but this will give everyone at HPD the momentum we need going into the next rounds of the championship.”

California Agricultural Labor Relations Board General Counsel Holds Listening Tour to Raise Farmworker Rights Awareness

California Agricultural Labor Relations Board General Counsel Holds Listening Tour to Raise Farmworker Rights Awareness

OXNARD, Calif., April 10, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To mark its 40^th anniversary, the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board (ALRB) is spearheading a listening tour this year to ensure California farmworkers have access to its staff and that it continues its outreach to underserved and under-resourced farmworker communities in Northern and Southern California.

On Sunday, April 12, the ALRB General Counsel Sylvia Torres-Guillén will hold a listening tour event in Oxnard as part of the community’s Cesar Chavez Day celebrations. The event will be held at the Oxnard College Performing Arts Center from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and seeks to raise awareness among farmworker communities and advocates that the ALRB is committed to helping farmworkers fight injustices in the fields.

“The ALRB is here to assist farmworkers, and I look forward to these events that provide communities with increased access to our services,” said General Counsel Torres-Guillén. “Now in our fourth decade, the ALRB remains committed to helping workers resolve the issues they face in the fields.”

In February, the ALRB held a listening tour event at Mahal Plaza – a migrant worker residence in Yuba City – where farmworkers in attendance had an open discussion on organizational rights, return to work rights for unlawfully fired workers, and ALRB efforts to combat sexual harassment in the fields. The presentation was in English, Spanish and Punjabi.

The General Counsel will also participate in Farmworker Appreciation Day in Coachella at an event tentatively scheduled for May 28^th.

The California Agricultural Labor Relations Board was created in 1975 to ensure peace in the fields of California by guaranteeing justice for all agricultural workers and stability in agricultural labor relations. The ALRB seeks to achieve these ends by providing orderly processes for protecting, implementing, and enforcing the respective rights and responsibilities of employees, employers and labor organizations in their relations with each other. For more information, please contact the ALRB General Counsel’s Office at (916) 653-2690. Find out more about the ALRB and learn more about laws to protect farmworkers at www.alrb.ca.gov.

CA Assembly Committee Allows Unlicensed, Unregulated, Unrestricted, Free Booze at Beauty Parlors and Barber Shops

CA Assembly Committee Allows Unlicensed, Unregulated, Unrestricted, Free Booze at Beauty Parlors and Barber Shops

Public health and safety take a major hit as Government Under the Influence (GUI) of Big Alcohol turns a blind eye to alcohol-related harm

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With a not surprising show of solidarity, the California Assembly Committee on Governmental Organization (GO) voted unanimously Wednesday to pass AB 1322 (Daily-Anaheim) to allow unlicensed, unregulated, free alcohol to be served at the state’s 45,000+ beauty salons and barber shops. The GO Committee is the State Assembly’s largest committee (21 members) and the place where Big Alcohol spends the most money to gain influence as most bills dealing with alcohol rules and regulations begin their legislative journey there.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110727/DC41105LOGO

“Once again the GO Committee has proved it’s the place where bad alcohol bills are passed and good alcohol bills go to die,” stated Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director / CO of Alcohol Justice. “Except that we are talking about the lives of people not bills when we say this particular change to alcohol regulation will negatively affect the health and safety of all California residents and visitors.”

Alcohol Justice has estimated that if AB 1322 becomes law the number of venues serving alcohol in California will increase by 41%.

In a letter of opposition sent to the GO committee the organization listed the many problems with the bill’s devil-may-care approach:

Who will monitor the number of drinks served and the drink sizes? The Alcoholic Beverage Control agency has less than 150 agents for the state and they will not monitor or enforce at any location that does not have a license.
This bill makes no mention of age requirements or proper Responsible Beverage Service training of persons pouring the alcohol. It throws out all standards of retail service of alcohol.
The bill would allow every barbershop, beauty parlor or nail salon venue to serve alcohol regardless of the presence of underage persons – toddlers, adolescents or underage youth who could easily be served or sneak drinks while getting a hair cut or nails done. Evidence shows that increased availability of alcoholic beverages is correlated with an increase in alcohol related harm.
The qualification in the bill that it may not cause an increase in price is ridiculously unenforceable, as any purchase of beer, wine and spirits will have to come out of all customer costs anyway – unless somehow or other the alcohol is given for free to the salons or barber shops. Non-drinking salon or barbershop customers inevitably will be subsidizing drinkers at the shops that offer alcohol.
There is no regulation here of the purchasing structure. The venues will have to purchase at the retail level and then resell the alcohol, as they cannot be allowed to purchase from wholesalers or producers directly. This may cause black market purchasing at discounted rates from retailers.
All the unlicensed venues will have to engage in an arms race of free drinks to keep up with venues that serve more alcohol or offer promotions. If one barbershop offers two beers with a haircut, the place across the street might have to offer three.

“The scenarios for how bad this bill is are endless,” added Livingston. “California already suffers more than $31 billion dollars in alcohol-related harm and 10,000 alcohol-related deaths annually. We implore more rational voices of reason in the legislature, Governor Brown, Attorney General Harris and ABC officials to please help safeguard public health and safety and reduce alcohol-related harm in California by stopping AB 1322, it’s a very dangerous bill.”

Earth Dreams™ Technology Powertrain
The 2016 Pilot delivers more refined, powerful and fuel-efficient performance than ever before courtesy of its new 3.5-liter, direct-injected i-VTEC^® V-6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM™) cylinder deactivation technology. The engine’s peak output of 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque is up 30 hp and 9 lb.-ft. over the previous model. The engine is matched to a choice of two new advanced transmissions – a Pilot-first 6-speed automatic transmission or, on upper trims, a Honda-first 9-speed automatic transmission – both delivering more refined, responsive and fuel-efficient performance.

Intelligent Variable Torque Management for all Four Wheels (i-VTM4)
The Pilot’s available new Intelligent VTM4 (i-VTM4) is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced all-wheel-drive system offered in a mainstream, three-row SUV. This entirely more capable system progressively distributes optimum torque between the front and rear axles and, for the first time ever in a Honda vehicle, dynamically distributes engine torque between the left and right rear wheels using the new, lightweight rear drive unit. Benefits include superior all-weather handling and neutral, accurate steering under power that is unmatched by front-drive, rear-drive or conventional all-wheel-drive systems.

Intelligent Traction Management
This new Pilot features a new button-operated Intelligent Traction Management System that offers different operating modes, for the AWD: Normal, Mud, Sand and Snow; and for the FWD: Normal and Snow. Reflecting Pilot’s role as a key U.S. export model, this system was developed, tuned and tested at various locations in the U.S. and around the world – including in Imperial Dunes “Glamis”, California; Moscow, Russia; and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Intelligent Traction Management system allows the driver to select the operating mode that best suits the driving conditions by simply pushing a button on the vehicle’s center console. Based on the setting selected, the system adjusts the drive-by wire map, transmission shift map, Vehicle Stability Assist^™ and i-VTM4 torque distribution for AWD equipped models for optimal performance in varying road or surface conditions.

Display Audio and Navigation
Honda’s latest thinking for advanced, family-friendly technology is embodied in the new Pilot. New features include the available 8-inch capacitive touchscreen Display Audio telematics interface with Android operating system and all-new Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ developed in cooperation with the experts at Garmin^®24.

Exterior Colors
All 2016 Pilot trims are available in eight exterior colors including three metallic and five pearl colors. All colors have a strong character, offering expressive contrasts that complement the Pilot’s body-panel curves and angles, while also exhibiting a smart luxury appearance. The colors are:

Modern Steel Metallic*	White Diamond Pearl
Lunar Silver Metallic*	Crystal Black Pearl
Steel Sapphire Metallic*	Obsidian Blue Pearl
Black Forest Pearl*	Dark Cherry Pearl


* New color for Pilot

The exterior colors are keyed to the 2016 Pilot’s three new available interior colors: Black, Gray and Beige.

Bud Light’s Whatever, USA town search committee scouted the country’s hottest cities known for being #UpForWhatever, selecting Catalina Island due to its impressive resume of hosting big festivals and events, breathtaking scenery and, most importantly, a colorful and friendly community that is truly #UpForWhatever.

“As the capital of unexpected fun, Whatever, USA is the ultimate destination for Bud Light fans who are #UpForWhatever and our host town needs to reflect that same energy and sense of adventure,” said Alexander Lambrecht, vice president of Bud Light. “Catalina Island is known as a place to relax and get away from it all, making it the perfect location for the ultimate Bud Light immersive experience, Whatever, USA.”

Throughout its rich history, Catalina Island has been no stranger to spontaneous fun. Some of Catalina’s most #UpForWhatever moments include hosting movie productions and red carpet events during Hollywood’s golden years and a bison herd that’s called Catalina home since the 1920’s.

“Catalina Island is just 22 miles away from the California mainland but the millions of visitors we’ve hosted over the years will tell you that it’s worlds away from the ordinary,” said Bill Paige, Chairman of the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. “This makes Catalina the ideal place for Whatever, USA and we’re thrilled to welcome Bud Light with open arms. The island of Catalina is truly #UpForWhatever!”
