Extractions: URC/CHS The Center for Human Services is the non-profit affiliate of University Research Co., LLC. Who We Are E-plazas: on-line Learning Platform NOTABLE HISPANICS Dr. Norma Varisco de García A lot is being said about the need to promote the education of Hispanics and the deficiencies that exist in the services that are provided to us, and the low percentage of graduates from High School and College that exist among us. Most of the time, when someone speaks about notable Hispanics, in the United States, the rest of North America, Central America, the Caribbean, or South America, the reference is made in relation to athletes, musicians, or singers. Our purpose in this article is to demonstrate that we Hispanics are also notable and have been for a long time notable in diverse areas, such as medicine or sociology. Hispanics of several countries have received the Nobel prize, the highest honor that exists in the world, and that is bestowed upon those that excel in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, economics, literature and peace. The Nobel prize was established by Alfred Nobel in his will in 1900 and it is administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. We are not going to write in this article about all the Hispanics that have received the Nobel prize, we are only going to write about the laureates that we believe have had and can have a very positive impact upon us and our youth so that American society can appreciate and value the contribution that Hispanics have made to enrich and better humanity.

Extractions: search avert.org More than 2 million people are now living with HIV in Latin America and the Caribbean, including the estimated 250,000 that contracted HIV in the past year. At least 120,000 people died of AIDS in the same period - the highest regional death toll after sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. HIV is well-entrenched in this region, with national HIV prevalence at least 1% in 12 countries, all of them in the Caribbean Basin. The most recent national estimates showed HIV prevalence among pregnant women reaching or exceeding 2% in six of them: the Bahamas, Belize, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago. In contrast, most of the other countries of the region have highly concentrated epidemics, notably in South America where Brazil (with by far the largest overall population in the entire region) is home to the vast majority of people living with HIV in the region. Distinctive epidemiological patterns are being observed in the region. All the main modes of transmission coexist in most countries amid significant levels of risky behaviour - such as early sexual debut, unprotected sex with multiple partners and the use of unclean drug-injecting equipment. In the Caribbean, heterosexual transmission predominates (and, in many cases, is associated with commercial sex), although Haitis persistently serious epidemic is now well-established in the wider population. One notable exception is Puerto Rico, where injecting drug use appears to be the main driver of the epidemic.

Liberation Theology (by Ron Rhodes) With a few notable exceptions, latin American liberation theology has Liberation theologians and the people of latin America have a legitimate gripe. http://home.earthlink.net/~ronrhodes/Liberation.html
Extractions: on Liberation Theology Theological controversies are often confined to seminary classrooms or theological journals. But the controversy provoked by Latin American liberation theology has been public and it has been worldwide - involving the Vatican, orthodox and not-so-orthodox priests, lay people, sociologists, socialists, capitalists, economists, government leaders and their military, and much more. Liberation theology has certainly not been the passing fad some analysts thought it would be when it first emerged in the late 1960s. Strictly speaking, liberation theology should be understood as a family of theologies - including the Latin American, Black, and feminist varieties. All three respond to some form of oppression: Latin American liberation theologians say their poverty-stricken people have been oppressed and exploited by rich, capitalist nations. Black liberation theologians argue that their people have suffered oppression at the hands of racist whites. Feminist liberation theologians lay heavy emphasis upon the status and liberation of women in a male-dominated society. This article, the first of a three-part series on liberation theology, will focus on the Latin American variety - examining its historical roots, growth, doctrine, and present status in the world. Primary emphasis will be on how the movement has changed since its emergence in the late 1960s. In Parts Two and Three respectively, I will examine the Black and feminist varieties.

Extractions: What do an engineer who developed segmental crimping technology, a knighted CEO, and a now-retired trailblazing inventor who crusades for the practice of holistic medicine have in common? They have all made an indelible impact on medical technology. Not coincidentally, they are profiled in this section. Over the summer, we polled a sampling of our readers, who made numerous recommendations for this feature. Their choices were supplemented by some of our own, in consultation with industry sources. Each of the individuals appearing in this section has made a singular contribution to the medical device industry, but they are not alone. It should also be noted that the manufacturing focus of EMDM pointed us in a direction that a more purely medical-oriented magazine might not have taken. That is why you will find a certain number of entrepreneurs and major contract manufacturers mentioned. From our perspective, they have been instrumental in the evolution of the medical device industry, even though they may be largely invisible to the public at large.

Extractions: LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN Demography Among notable features of population in the region, there are high levels of urbanization on a low population growth rate. The projection shows that if this trend continues, the population will be 690 million in 2025 compared to 477 million in 1995. Regional trends are much influenced by Brazil and Mexico as most populous countries: Brazil has 34% of the regions total population, 477 million in 1995, and Mexico has 19% of it, together it consists more than half the regions rural and urban population. In Latin America and the Caribbean: 73% of its population were living in urban areas in 1995, the level of urbanization is similar to that of Europe. Although urban population growth rate for the region is relatively low, this urbanization trend will continue in all countries and the urban population in the region will amount to 82 % of the total population in 2025. There is considerable diversity between countries in urban population growth rate. Some countries where urbanization level is already over 80%, for instance Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela and Chile, will have low urban population growth rate. In contrast, many countries where urbanization level is still below 60% will have relatively high urban population growth rate. The two most populated countries, Brazil and Mexico, are between these two categories. Although the low population growth-rate for the region, household number growth rate, is about twice as higher as that of the worlds developing countries average. Increments to the number of households indicate the housing demand. The projection shows approximately 85.8 million households will be increased in the first quarter of the next century. Especially in Brazil, the household increment during this term will be 47.6 million, which is more than half of all increment in the region. Generally the more nuclear families are, the more households are. In fact household average size is 3.5 in Brazil whereas 5.4 in Mexico.
