The "VitalSigns" report, titled "¡A la Buena Salud! – To Good Health!," outlined and broke down within Latino subgroups health risks as well as the leading causes of death in the Latino population in the United States. Among the key findings of the study, which was released in May, is that foreign-born Latinos tend to be healthier, eat better, and smoke less than U.S. born Latinos. The gap was wider between those that had lived in the U.S. for a shorter period of time. "It probably has to do with acculturation. Foreign-born Latinos tend not to eat high fatty foods, have better diets and have not caught on the idea of fast food," Dr. Kenneth Dominguez, lead author of the study and an epidemiologist, said to Latin Post. They also for the most part bring their habits from their home countries, he added. Smoking is an area where the difference between the two groups is stark. Foreign-born Latinos tend to smoke less than U.S born Latinos and, though the rate of smoking overall among Latinos is lower compared to White nonHispanics, the rate of smoking among U.S.-born Latinos is much higher. According to Dr. Dominguez, 2 in every 10 deaths in the U.S. is caused by smoking. This may be why cancer deaths are higher among U.S.-born Latinos than those Latinos born outside of the United States as detailed in the study. Within the Latino subgroups there were vast differences in diabetes, rates of smoking, colorectal cancer screening and alcohol consumption. Puerto Ricans had a higher rate of smoking similar to those of White non-Hispanics. At 21 percent, Puerto Ricans were statistically similar to Cubans with 18.2 percent. Mexicans came in at 13 percent and Central Americans are at a low 9.2 percent according to the report. Which led, said Dr. Dominguez, to higher risks and death from cancer, heart disease and chronic hypertension. The rate of diabetes among Mexicans and Puerto Ricans was high and both these groups had an 80 percent greater death rate than White non- Hispanics and Dr. Dominguez noted that this is most likely due to poor diet and the rates of obesity within the Latino population. Another key finding among the subgroups is that Cubans tend to screen less for colorectal cancer than Puerto Ricans. If you break it down even further by gender, Cuban men are at 29 percent, women 49 percent, and for Puerto Rican men it is 54 percent, while with women it is 61 percent. Dr. Dominguez stated that is probably likely because of lack of insurance for the costly procedure, which sometimes involves an anesthesiologist. When it comes to alcohol consumption, Dr. Dominguez said, "Though Latinos tend to drink less than White non-Hispanics and this is consistent year after year, when they do drink, they do something called binge drinking. Which is drinking more than five drinks per week." This, according to Dr. Dominguez, leads to liver disease and a 50 percent higher death rate overall than White non-Hispanics. Among the sub-group Mexicans have an 80 percent higher death rate from chronic liver disease and cirrohasis. But it is not only alcohol consumption that can lead to liver disease. Obesity is also a leading factor because fat deposits tend to sit in the liver for a longer period of time and can lead to liver cancer and liver disease as outlined by Dr. Dominguez. The CDC detailed, among other things, the top causes of death among Latinos. In the top five, according to the report, are cancer, heart disease, unintentional injuries, stroke and diabetes. In the mid-1990s, cancer and heart disease switched as the number 1 and number 2 causes of death among Latinos. Dr. Dominguez does not know why exactly the switch happened. He was looking back at old data when he discovered the change. As far as unintentional injuries, according to the CDC, it is classified as an injury resulting from a car or bicycle accident. Dr. Dominguez emphasized that Latinos can improve not just their health but their quality of life by doing moderate exercise 30 minutes a day or for 10 minutes, three times a day; limit or cease alcohol consumption; maintain a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables; and stop tobacco use.

She was 64. Castañeda came from an East Austin family with a long history of fighting for the rights of Latinos. Mendez Middle School in East Austin was named after her aunt, Consuelo Mendez, an influential Mexican-American teacher and advocate in the community. Castañeda became an active figure in the Chicano movement early in her life. She founded as well as cofounded several neighborhood and political groups who worked to improve the conditions of low-income minority communities. She was especially involved in championing the rights of minority women. In 1992 she became the first Latina elected to the Austin school board. There she was a strong advocate for the improvment of the students educational needs, especially of minorities. According to a HABLA press release, Paul Saldaña, the Austin school board trustee for District 6 stated: “Her position and advocacy was always on behalf of low-income minority communities. She was willing to have conversations and be a leader and push the agenda on issues like race and equity that weren’t very popular. She really help us set the tone and the bar for being an advocate at the board level.” While many knew of her political work, few knew about her truly compassionate work for her neighbors. In spite of her demanding political schedule (she ran for city council in 1988, and for President of ASID, before being elected to the school board), she took time to assist her neighbors by helping them with their problems with governmental agencies, feeding neignborhood children, starting sport clubs for them and offering financial assistance to other families, although her own family was working class. Castañeda is survived by her husband and five children: Jimmy Castañeda Jr., 42; Rigo Castañeda, 38; Dianna Castañeda, 37; Lauralei Kufrin, 35 and Rosanna Cervantes, 33.

Emilio Navaira III was born August 23, 1962 in San Antonio, TX, to Emilio Navaira, Jr., and Mary Navaira. Emilio was musically influenced not only by Tejano legends such as Little Joe y La Familia, Ramón Ayala, and Pedro Infante, but also Lone Star country music heroes such as Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, and George Strait. Early in his career he performed Tejano music in local club gigs in San Antonio. He graduated from McCollum High School in 1980, and received a music scholarship to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos (now, Texas State University). He majored in music to become a teacher. However, he became the lead singer of popular Tejano band David Lee Garza y los Musicales. from 1984 until 1988. Navaira split from los Musicales and formed his own band, Rio, with his brother Raúl. The siblings were known for their onstage antics where they created dance moves that their fans adored. The group soon became one of the top Tejano bands. He released more than a dozen solo albums and won several Tejano Music Awards, including multiple Male Vocalist, vocal duo with brother Raul, and several Male Entertainer of the Year trophies. In 2002, the group won a Grammy for Acuérdate. Emilio also attempted to make it in the country scene. His 1995 country crossover album, Life Is Good, rose on the country charts and made his mark. He did have success in that he toured with several major artists in the country music industry. Tejano music popularity began to wane due to a number of factors, the death of popular singer Selena, the increase popularity of Norteno music brought to Texas by a new wave of Mexican immigrants which replacd the Tejano format on several radio stations, and the assimilation of the young Mexican American musicians to non -Tejano music. Emilio and the other Tejano groups continued to play their music although they no longer commanded the large fan base of the earlier decades. In 2008, Emilio was involved in a tragic accident when his bus hit a highway barrier in Houston. Surprisingly the driver was Emilio, who enjoyed driving the bus. He was seriously injured when he crashed through the window and suffered massive head wounds. He was charged with driving while in intoxicated. He made what his doctors considered a miraculous recovery and began his Tejano career again in 2010. Navaira's son and fellow Paid Political ad,Comstock For ACC , Place 6 musician, Diego Roman, released a statement on his father's Facebook page following his father’s death saying, "I spent the last few years behind my dad playing drums and watching him every night give everything he had. I remember him being so sick once he was on the verge of tears, but you would've never known it because he loved being on stage." The artist gave more than just great music to la raza. He hosted the Emilio Navaira’s “Tejanos for Children” foundation raising well close to a million dollars to benefit the Santa Rosa Children’s Hospital and the Children’s Miracle Network.

In this online era, it is important to always be on guard. The IRS has teamed up with state revenue departments and the tax industry to make sure you understand the dangers to your personal and financial data. Here are seven steps you can make part of your routine to protect your tax and financial information: 1. Read your credit card and banking statements carefully and often – watch for even the smallest charge that appears suspicious. (Neither your credit card nor bank – or twill send you emails asking for sensitive personal and financial information, such as asking you to update your account.) 2. Review and respond to all notices and correspondence from the Internal Revenue Service. Warning signs of tax-related identity theft can include IRS notices about tax returns you did not file, income you did not receive or employers you have never heard of or where you have never worked. 3. Review each of your three credit reports at least once a year. Visit: annualcreditreport.com to get your free reports. 4. Review your annual Social Security income statement for excessive income reported.You can sign up for an electronic account at (www.SSA.gov). 5. Read your health insurance statements; look for claims you never filed or care you never received. 6. Shred any documents with personal and financial information. Never toss documents with your personally identifiable information, especially your social security number, in the trash. 7. If you receive any routine federal deposit, such as Social Security Administrator or Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, you probably receive those deposits electronically.You can use the same direct deposit process for your federal and state tax refund. IRS direct deposit is safe and secure and places your tax refund directly into the financial account of your choice.
