Cindy Valentin en el Isla de Tenerife Aguere

February 24th, 2007

La base puertorriqueña Cyndi Valentin ha llegado a un acuerdo con el Isla de Tenerife Aguere para disputar el tramo final de la temporada. Sustituye en la plaza de extracomunitaria a su compatriota Chris Roper, que ayer regresó a su país tras solicitar la baja en el representativo. Cyntia Marie Valentin acaba de finalizar la Liga en Israel, donde ha promediado con el Elizur Holon 18,5 puntos, 5 rebotes y 3 asistencias en los 19 encuentros disputados.

Reggeaton en la Radio

February 21st, 2007

As I climbed into my boyfriend’s car, I heard the familiar rhythmic pounding of a Reggaeton radio station eminating from his speakers. Born and raised in the Midwest, he had little contact with Latino culture prior to moving to Los Angeles for school. However with spending hours on the road commuting to school in a car that lacks a CD player, he has come to find new radio stations to entertain him while on the road. A white, middle-class, suburban, USC graduate and future doctor – he seems one of the least likely candidates to be a fan of the Puerto Rican and Cuban movement.

REMEMBERING ALONZO SWANN JR.

February 12th, 2007

Many other sailors ran for cover, but Swann’s station,
manned by black and Latino men, kept firing the
20-millimeter cannon. The plane veered from its attack.
Instead of crashing into the sea, one of its wings hit
Swann’s gun station. Nine crew mates were burned to
death and six — including Swann — were seriously injured.
