Toyota has pulled out all the stops to thank the community, civic leaders, business partners and nearby corporations for the warm welcome to The Lone Star State.
“We are thrilled to be here in Plano and look forward to a fantastic day of celebration with our new neighbors,” said Toyota Motor North America CEO Jim Lentz. “This is just the start of what I know will be a long-lasting friendship.”
The “Hello Texas” celebration promises to be one of the area’s most exciting and family-friendly occasions in 2014. Eighteen diverse community restaurants will provide for a sumptuous culinary experience, and residents will rock the day and night away with live concerts from some of Texas’ most recognizable music superstars.
The day kicked off with Toyota executives addressing 400 VIP guests at the Dallas/Plano Marriott at Legacy Town Center, where they thanked everyone who has played an integral role in helping Toyota deepen its roots in Texas and establish its new North American headquarters. They also announced two donations to the city of Plano.
Mr. Lentz and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin announced a $1 million contribution to the Plano ISD Academy High School. The education facility places an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).
“Toyota is committed to being a model neighbor and corporate citizen,” said Lentz. “We are pleased to join other local businesses in supporting the STEAM curriculum and helping open the eyes of students to career opportunities in these fields. We look forward to furthering the school’s mission to inspire tomorrow’s leaders through problem solving, team building, mentoring and student immersion into the business world.”
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere were on hand for today’s ceremony. The two officials have played a significant role in Toyota’s decision to choose Texas for its North American headquarters. As an expression of gratitude, Toyota also announced the donation of six Texas-built Tundra pickup trucks to the City.
“We are thankful for Toyota’s generosity and truly appreciate the unexpected donation,” said LaRosiliere. “We will put these Tundras to great use immediately and are proud that they are built at Toyota’s manufacturing facility in San Antonio by the more than 6,000 hardworking Texas men and women employed there.”
The donations reflect Toyota’s ongoing commitment to philanthropy and community engagement in Texas. Investments made to date include $4.4 billion in the state’s economy and $15 million in nonprofit contributions.
The free “Hello Texas” Block Party runs from 12-8 p.m. at Bishop Park at Legacy Town Center. Musical guests include Elaine Garcia, Curtis Grimes, Bobby Pulido, Lone Star Attitude and Jack Ingram.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois Offers Assistance to Consumers for Upcoming Open Enrollment
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois Offers Assistance to Consumers for Upcoming Open Enrollment
CHICAGO, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With as many as 1.8 million uninsured in Illinois, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) is mobilizing its resources across the state to help people better understand insurance coverage options and the financial benefits that may be available to them under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
There’s four key points about this year’s open enrollment period that people need to be aware of:
- Enrollment Timeline: The enrollment period to sign up for affordable healthcare coverage through the state’s www.GetCoveredIllinois.gov insurance marketplace is only half as long as the last year’s, so it’s important to act quickly to determine your options. Open enrollment for Illinois begins November 15, 2014 and ends February 15, 2015;
- Auto-Enrollment: People who already signed up for coverage through the marketplace last open enrollment can choose to take no action and will be automatically re-enrolled in the same or similar plan;
- Check Your Plan, Know Your Options: Automatic renewal of ACA policies ensures enrollment for the next year, but it does not guarantee that the plan or monthly bill will be identical;
- Subsidy Check: Those receiving financial assistance should update their financial and dependent information with the federal government by December 15 in order to ensure they receive the appropriate financial assistance.
“No one plans to get sick or injured, but if they do, it can lead to very costly medical bills. Health insurance provides valuable financial protection,” said Donna Gerber, vice president of public affairs and community investment for Blue Cross. “Because there’s only half the enrollment period of last year, it’s important to consider your options early on, to ensure access to quality health care, as well as avoid potential tax penalties.”
BCBSIL is continuing its education efforts to the uninsured, and that includes valuable information about possible financial assistance that is available for many residents.
Who may qualify for financial assistance:[1]
- Individuals with incomes below $46,680
- Couples earning less than $62,920
- Families of four with an income under $95,400
- Families of five with an income under $111,640
Those are just a few examples of who may qualify for federal assistance. About 67 percent of Illinois’ uninsured non-elderly are eligible for federal subsidies to help cover the cost of their health insurance.
In addition to financial assistance, other benefits of the ACA include:
- Guaranteed Coverage: No one can be turned away – or be charged higher premiums – for preexisting conditions.
- No Annual or Lifetime Limits: Plans no longer apply annual or lifetime limits on coverage.
- Preventive Care: Immunizations, cancer and diabetes screenings, developmental and behavioral assessments for children, well-woman visits and more are covered at no out-of-pocket cost.
- Essential Health Benefits: All plans include 10 essential health benefits, including emergency services, prescription drugs, mental health, pediatric care, and more.
BCBSIL is here to help you better understand your options under the Affordable Care Act. The company will have Mobile Assistance Centers on Wheels beginning on November 15th, with a stop that day at the Ford City Mall at 7601 S. Cicero Ave., Chicago. A full list of dates and destinations will be available beginning that day by visiting www.HealthDestinationIL.com, or, for Spanish speakers, www.DestinoSaludIL.com.
BCBSIL has also expanded its Customer Service hours beginning November 1, with Customer Advocates available 7:00am -10:00pm 7 days a week, and as of Dec. 1st, call centers are open 24/7. Have a question about health coverage? Call 877-908-5593, or visit: www.bcbsil.com
ABOUT BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD OF ILLINOIS
With 7.9 million members, BCBSIL, a division of Health Care Service Corporation, a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, is the largest health insurance company in Illinois. Begun in 1936 in Chicago, BCBSIL remains member owned rather than publicly traded, and is committed to promoting the health and wellness of its members and its communities, fostering greater access to care, and working to lower the overall cost of care while improving the health care quality and patient outcomes.

Tony Bennett And Lady Gaga To Perform Together Live At The Hollywood Bowl And Radio City Music Hall
Tony Bennett And Lady Gaga To Perform Together Live At The Hollywood Bowl And Radio City Music Hall
– Once In A Lifetime Concerts Set For May 20 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and June 19 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City –
– New Album Cheek To Cheek On Sale Now –
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Following the immediate sell-out of their recently announced special evening at The Wiltern on Feb. 8 in Los Angeles. Live Nation is pleased to announce that TWO additional “once in a lifetime” concerts have been confirmed with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. In celebration of their new collaborative jazz album Cheek To Cheek, the pair of icons will join forces for two incredible evenings Saturday, May 30 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Friday, June 19 at Radio City Music Hall, New York. Tickets for both performances will go on sale starting Monday, Nov. 3.
Photo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141027/154448
Both artists will be accompanied by a full orchestra along with each artist’s jazz ensembles who will also serve as special guests for the evening.
Cheek to Cheek debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts upon its release on Sept. 23. Now at 88, Bennett remains the oldest artist in music industry history to have an album on the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. Cheek To Cheek marks Lady Gaga’s third consecutive #1 album release in just over three years.
Cheek To Cheek features classic jazz standards sung by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in a combination of vocal duets and solo performances. From the title track to “But Beautiful” to “I Won’t Dance,” the record showcases the chemistry between the two artists, who span 60 years in age. As Bennett says, “What I really love about being a jazz singer is that jazz artists are very creative, very honest, from phrase to phrase,” and Lady Gaga adds, “We wanted to make something that sounded perfect because of the quality of the emotion…the honesty.” Cheek To Cheek also features the Lady Gaga solo “Lush Life,” accompanied by Tony Bennett’s solo of “Sophisticated Lady.” The two songs complement each other, as Lady Gaga explains, “I loved making ‘Lush Life,’ Tony mentored me emotionally through the process,” and Tony Bennett adds, “I sang ‘Sophisticated Lady’ to answer her on ‘Lush Life,’ and because Duke Ellington wrote it, who collaborated with Billy Strayhorn, the writer of ‘Lush Life.'” Recorded in New York City, Cheek To Cheek took over a year to complete and features jazz musicians associated with both artists including members of Bennett’s quartet: Mike Renzi, Gray Sargent, Harold Jones and Marshall Wood as well as pianist Tom Ranier. Jazz trumpeter Brian Newman, a long-time friend and colleague of Lady Gaga appears on the album as well with his NYC-based jazz quintet. Jazz soloists on selected tracks include tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, trumpeter George Rabbai and flutist Paul Horn, who passed away in July.
“We are thrilled to present this very special show. Individually they are incredible talents, together it is something not to be missed,” said Arthur Fogel, president of global touring and chairman of global music, Live Nation.
Tickets for the Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga performance in Los Angeles on May 30 at the Hollywood Bowl will go on sale Monday, Nov. 3 at 10:00 a.m. at www.ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster Outlets, the Hollywood Bowl Office or charge by phone 1-800-745-3000.

MEGA 96.3FM, The Los Angeles Radio Station Preferred By The Young, Vibrant And Millennial Latino Consumers To Unveil On Monday, October 27 “The RaqC And Nachin Show”
MEGA 96.3FM, The Los Angeles Radio Station Preferred By The Young, Vibrant And Millennial Latino Consumers To Unveil On Monday, October 27 “The RaqC And Nachin Show”
“THE RAQC AND NACHIN SHOW” ON MEGA 96.3FM, THE ONLY MORNING SHOW IN LOS ANGELES CATERING TO THE NEW GENERATION OF US BORN LATINOS, WILL AIR FROM 6 TO 10 AM MONDAY TO FRIDAY
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MEGA 96.3FM, a Spanish Broadcasting System Inc., (SBS) (Nasdaq: SBSA) radio station in Los Angeles announced today the launch of the new morning show: “The RaqC and Nachin Show” debuted today Monday, October 27. On its first fun-filled week, listeners can expect surprises, the launch of new segments and special guest appearances by Chiquis Rivera, Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas and many more. “The RaqC and Nachin Show” will broadcast live from 6 to 10 AM Monday to Friday on MEGA 96.3FM.
MEGA 96.3FM is the trailblazing radio station in Los Angeles that represents and caters to today’s millennial Latinos; a unique and coveted consumer group that drives the region’s economy, music taste, purchasing trends and social media conversations. The 18-49 LA Latino consumers are uniquely bicultural, bilingual and make up the majority in the Los Angeles market. MEGA 96.3FM features on-air personalities that not only represent but are part of their target consumer group; one of the hard to replicate keys to the success of the radio station.
“We are excited to provide our loyal audience ‘The RaqC and Nachin Show;’ the only morning radio show in Los Angeles that represents young Latinos; a show they can relate to in content, language and culture. Both RaqC and Nachin are proven leaders and personalities that represent the MEGA 96.3FM audience;” said Bill Shadorf, Vice President Corporate Sales/VP West Coast Market Manager at Spanish Broadcasting System.
Juan Carlos Hidalgo, West Coast Programming Consultant at Spanish Broadcasting System said: “We are very fortunate that RaqC and Nachin are back home at MEGA 96.3FM. They represent the new generation of U.S. born Latinos that retain a strong connection to their cultural roots. The duo speaks to an audience that has a unique ability to combine, switch and mix English and Spanish effortlessly and naturally. This will certainly be an entertaining morning show designed specifically for young Latinos in LA.”
Raquel Cordova, better known as RaqC “The Queen of Spanglish Media”, originates from Riverside, CA. Her radio career began in 2000 at U-92.7 in Palm Springs as the morning show co-host. Shortly after, SBS offered her an on-air position with the Mexican Regional station, La Ley 107.9 in Chicago. Her successful run in Chicago allowed her to master the art of radio, as well as fine-tune her second language, Spanish. RaqC enjoyed a successful 8-year run as a top personality for Latino 96.3FM (the former name of MEGA 96.3FM). She is well known in the Latin-American community as being one of the stars on Mun2 top-rated reality show, “Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis and RaqC”, and most recently as a Tastemaker for NuVo TV on their newest show, “The Collective”. She has extended her career to various parts of entertainment besides radio including; TV, hosting, blogging, writing, acting and red carpet coverage. Embracing the influence she has on others coupled with her spirit of giving, RaqC founded Amigas4MySoul, a non-profit organization established to promote unity and empowerment among women by providing various events, conferences and self-empowerment workshops with the intention of teaching young women about the power of SELF-LOVE. Never shy of the camera, RaqC has gained media exposure through local and national press at many of Hollywood’s red carpet events such as the ALMA AWARDS and the NHMC’s Annual Impact Awards Gala.
Ignacio Sandoval, better known as “Nachin” is a radio personality born in Mexico and raised in Boyle Heights. “Started from the bottom now I’m here” is Nachin’s favorite quote, as he knows firsthand what it is to evolve through life. From early beginnings he overcame poverty through the hard working values set as an example by his mother who sold hot dogs on the street. Nachin’s motivation came at an early age when he realized the only way to a better life was through education. He earned a scholarship to the University of Riverside where he double majored in Theatre and Spanish Literature. Nachin calls himself a survivor and a doer. Growing up as an immigrant Nachin found himself in a world that was divided, as he was a Latino at heart but also an American in every way. In early 2000 Nachin became a radio intern at a station based in LA where his on-air journey began. Ever since then he has worked to give a name and voice to the new generation of millennials that glide between two worlds just like him: “the bilingual and bicultural generation.” One of Nachin’s dreams is to see more young people become educated, as they will be the ones leading the future generations.
“The RaqC and Nachin Show” will broadcast live from 6 to 10 AM Monday to Friday on MEGA 96.3FM.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire- HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Weinstein Kitchenoff & Asher LLC regarding the In re Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 08-md-02002.
This legal notice is to inform you of proposed Settlements between Plaintiffs and Defendants Midwest Poultry Services, LP (“Midwest”), National Food Corporation (“NFC”), and United Egg Producers/United States Egg Marketers (“UEP/USEM”), reached in the class action lawsuit, In re Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 08-md-02002, pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and also to inform you of a second amendment to the Sparboe Settlement.
Who is included in the Settlements & Second Sparboe Amendment?
The Settlement “Classes” include all persons and entities in the United States that purchased Shell Eggs and Egg Products, in the United States directly from any Producer from January 1, 2000 through July 30, 2014. Due to the recent Settlements, the prior Sparboe Settlement is amended to add to the Sparboe Settlement Class direct purchases of Shell Eggs and Egg Products from March 1, 2014 through July 30, 2014, expanding the Class Period to make it comparable to the more recent Settlement Classes.
What is this case about?
Plaintiffs claim that Defendants conspired to limit the supply of Shell Eggs and Egg Products, which raised the price of Shell Eggs and Egg Products and, therefore, violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, a federal statute that prohibits agreements that unreasonably restrain competition. The settling Defendants deny all of Plaintiffs’ allegations.
What do the Settlements provide?
Under the Settlements, Plaintiffs will release all claims against Midwest, NFC and UEP/USEM. In exchange, Midwest will pay $2.5 million; NFC will pay $1 million; and UEP/USEM will pay $500,000, into a settlement fund for the benefit of the Classes. Plaintiffs also will receive documents and information that Plaintiffs’ attorneys believe will aid in their analysis and prosecution of this Action.
What does the Sparboe Settlement provide?
There is no monetary relief under the Sparboe Settlement. Sparboe agreed to provide substantial and immediate cooperation to Plaintiffs, which the Court already found conferred substantial benefits upon the Class. The second amendment merely conforms the Sparboe Class to the recent Settlement Classes.
What do I do now?
If you are a Class Member your legal rights are affected, and you now have a choice to make.
Participate in the Settlements: No action is required to remain part of the recent Settlements or the amended Sparboe Settlement. If the Court grants final approval to the Settlements and the Second Sparboe Amendment, they will be binding upon you and all other Class Members. By remaining part of the Settlements, you will give up any potential claims that you may have against Midwest, NFC, UEP/USEM and Sparboe relating to the claims alleged in this lawsuit. You may be eligible to receive a settlement payment at a future date.
Ask to be excluded: If you wish to exclude yourself from the Sparboe Settlement as amended (if you had no purchases before March 1, 2014) and/or the recent Settlements and wish to retain your rights to pursue your own lawsuit relating to the claims alleged in this lawsuit, you must formally exclude yourself from the Classes by sending a signed letter to the Claims Administrator postmarked on or before March 6, 2015.
Object: You may notify the Court that you object to the recent Settlements and/or Second Sparboe Amendment by mailing a statement of your objection(s) to the Court, Plaintiffs’ Counsel, and Defense Counsel postmarked by March 6, 2015. Detailed instructions on how to participate, opt out or object are on the Settlement website.
Who represents you?
The Court appointed Steven A. Asher of Weinstein Kitchenoff & Asher LLC; Michael D. Hausfeld of Hausfeld LLP; Stanley D. Bernstein of Bernstein Liebhard LLP; and Stephen D. Susman of Susman Godfrey LLP as Interim Co- Lead Class Counsel. You do not have to pay them or anyone else to participate. You may hire your own lawyer at your own expense.
When will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlements and/or the Second Sparboe Amendment?
At 9:30 a.m. on May 6, 2015, at the United States District Court, James A. Byrne Federal Courthouse, 601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, the Court will hold a hearing to determine the fairness and adequacy of the recent Settlements and the Second Sparboe Amendment, and consider any motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and incentive awards and reimbursement of litigation costs. You may appear at the hearing, but are not required to do so.
Please note that the Court may change the date and/or time of the Fairness Hearing. Settlement Class Members are advised to check www.eggproductssettlement.com for any updates.
