Oh the Drama of it all. During the middle of the night a startled couple awakes to a phone call, the mother answers and it’s from the local hospital informing her that her son, Alberto, has been involved in a horrible accident. She breathes heavily, asks a furry of questions, her husband and her dash to the hospital (cue dramatic music). Husband goes into an angry monologue, family is reunited, and son is ok.
Sound like a telenovela? That’s because it is. The Texas Department of Transportation
Los investigadores de la Universidad de Stanford, California, descubrieron en escáneres cerebrales que muchas de las áreas del cerebro normalmente involucradas con la respuesta al dolor también se activan con los pensamientos amorosos.“Cuando la gente está en esa fase apasionada y hasta obsesiva del enamoramiento, ocurren alteraciones en su estado de ánimo que tienen un impacto en sus experiencias de dolor”, afirma el doctor Sean Mackey, quien dirigió el estudio publicado en la revista de la Bi
Already the largest minority group in the United States, Latinos will be an even bigger presence in the years to come, according to demographic studies. Clara Rodriguez, Ph.D., professor of sociology in Fordham College at Lincoln Center, is making sure their stories are told.
Through 10 books, dozens of papers and consulting projects with Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street, Rodriguez
has developed a deep knowledge about a group that now accounts for 15 percent of the population.

19th-fastest growth rate in the nation. The data show the Hispanic business growth rate outpaced the 10% growth seen for all Iowa businesses between 2002 and 2007.
Statewide, Hispanic-owned businesses make up less than 1% of the state's total businesses. Data show that ten other states have fewer Hispanic-owned businesses than Iowa. Hispanics are about 4.5% of the state's population, growing nearly 63
Less than one month after being rescued, one of the now-famous Chilean miners will compete in the New York City Marathon Sunday, according to Mary Wittenberg, president of the New York City Road Runners Club. Edison Pena, 34, was originally invited by the club, which organizes the annual marathon, to attend the event as a spectator. But Pena insisted on running in the 26.2-mile marathon, Wittenberg said.
Pena earned the nickname "the runner" for jogging through one of the mine's tunnels, but he
Recession or no recession, when it comes to shopping try keeping a Latina at home. The Latina shopper is a force to be reckoned with -- ask any poor man who wasn't smart enough to get out of the way. It's reported that Latinas control 80 percent of the purse strings in Latino households. By 2013, the amount of money under Latina influence is projected to stand at $1.4 trillion.
Yet, of course, not all shoppers are the same. A new Latina Shopper Study by multicultural market research specialist
For 18 years, young Latinas in the eastern San Fernando Valley have been motivated to achieve their goals and excel in their lives during the annual Adelante Mujer Latina Conferences.
But there was nothing similar for males, not until this past weekend when some 400 male students gathered in Panorama City for the first ever Adelante Hombre Latino Summit, where they received motivation and information to reach their dreams.
"We thought it was something that was needed," said Alex Reza, one of
With double-digit ratings growth this season, Spanish-language broadcaster Univision is off to a better start than any of the major English-language networks, and the future is promising as well.
The new census is expected to show a nearly 45% increase in the number of Hispanic Americans since 2000, to a total of 50 million. This couples with continuing audience erosion at the major networks and Univision's recent deal with Mexican programer Grupo Televisa, which locks up the source of much th

A Pew Hispanic Center poll indicates a nationwide backlash against illegal immigration has created divisions among Latinos in the United States. The poll also reveals increased concerns Latinos, including those born in the United States or who immigrated legally, will suffer discrimination. About four-fifths of the country's estimated 11.1 million illegal immigrants are Hispanic, and Latinos are divided on how they should be handled, Pew Research Center project officials said. Fifty-three perce
Latinas are dedicated to beauty and personal care, and companies who ignore them are missing out on a $50-million dollar industry, according to Leylha Ahuile, senior multicultural analyst, Mintel International Group Ltd. in her SupplySide West presentation, “Latinas Want Tailored Personal Care Products." By 2050, Latinas will be 25 percent of the U.S. female populations, and they tend to spend more on personal-care products than their non-Hispanic counterparts. Still, Ahuile noted, few personal
