			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Washington, DC  May 8, 2004&#8211;NASA named Jose Hernandez, national president of The Society of Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES), as a member of the astronaut candidate class of 2004 at a ceremony held today at the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia.</p>
<p>Hernandez is one of six mission specialists selected. The class also consists of two pilots and three educators. </p>
<p>According to NASA, Hernandez and the remaining astronauts will pay a crucial role in helping the agency reach their space exploration objectives: implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program to explore the solar system and beyond; extend human presence across the solar system with a human return to the Moon in preparation for human exploration of Mars and other destinations; develop the innovative technologies, knowledge and infrastructure to explore and support decisions about the destinations for human exploration; and promote international and commercial participation in explorations to further U.</p>
<p>S. scientific, security and economic interests.</p>
<p>One of four children in a migrant farming family from Mexico, Hernandez, who didn&#8217;t learn English until he was 12 years old, spent much of his childhood on what he calls โthe California circuit,โ traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March then working northward to the Stockton area by November picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route. Then they would return to Mexico for Christmas and start the cycle all over again in the spring.</p>
<p>After high school Hernandez attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton, where he studied electrical engineering.  He was selected for a co-op position at the prestigious Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory operated by the University of California. During his college years Hernandez began his MAES career as a student member with his university chapter.</p>
<p>After he graduated from Pacific in 1985 with a degree in electrical engineering, Hernandez was awarded a full scholarship to the graduate program at the University of California in Santa Barbara, where he continued his engineering studies.</p>
<p>He finished the graduate program early and in 1987 accepted a full-time job with Lawrence Livermore testing the physical properties of various construction and fabrication materials.  </p>
<p>During this period, Hernandez became one of the first former MAES student members to be elected to the society&#8217;s national board of directors.  He served for several years, then took a sabbatical to concentrate on his career goals.</p>
<p>While at Lawrence Livermore, Hernandez worked on signal and image processing applications in radar imaging, computed tomography, and acoustic imaging.</p>
<p>Later in his career, Hernandez worked on developing quantitative x-ray film imaging analysis techniques for the x-ray laser program.  Hernandez applied these techniques in the medical physics arena and co-developed the first full-field digital mammography imaging system. This system has proven useful for detecting breast cancer at an earlier stage than present film/screen mammography techniques. Hernandez has won recognition awards for his work on this project. He has also worked in the international arena where he represented Lawrence Livermore and the U.</p>
<p>S. Department of Energy on Russian nuclear non-proliferation issues.</p>
<p>He rejoined the MAES board in the late 1990s and continued his efforts to elevate the organization to new levels.  The board elected him as vice president in 2000.  In 2002, he was elected as national president of the society.  The society awarded him its Medalla de Oro, the highest honor MAES can bestow upon an individual, for his accomplishments. </p>
<p>Today, Hernandez works in the Materials and Processes Branch of the Engineering Directorate, managing nearly 60 civil service and contractor employees who provide technical materials analysis and scientific support for the Space Shuttle and International Space Station missions.</p>
<p>Hernandez&#8217; team plays a key role in returning the Shuttle to flight, developing repair-kit materials for the Shuttle orbiter&#8217;s thermal protection system, including wing and tile components.</p>
<p>โI am gratified to see a young student leader come up through the ranks to the level of achievement Jose has attained,โ said Hernandez&#8217; mentor and former MAES national president Richard Martinez.  โWhile I know that he has worked hard, I also know that this organization we are so passionate about had a small part in helping him accomplish this.</p>
<p>โ</p>
<p>Media organizations interested in interviewing Jose Hernandez should contact Julie Burt of the Johnson Space Center Public Affairs Office at (281) 483-5111. </p>
<p>About MAES:</p>
<p>MAES was founded in 1974 to increase the number of Mexican Americans and other Hispanics in the technical and scientific fields.   MAES helps to improve the perception of Mexican Americans by projecting the positive image of its members and their accomplishments.  Members are able to develop their leadership, communication, management, and technical skills.</p>
<p>The annual International Symposium and Career Fair, next scheduled to be held in Austin, Texas,  is one opportunity for them to do so.  MAES currently maintains its headquarters in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area.</p>
<p>More information regarding MAES and its programs is available at http://www.maes-natl.org/ .  Rafaela Schwan, MAES Executive Director, can answer questions about the organization at (817) 423-4332 or execdir@maes-natl.org . </p>

<p>After his appointment, he was elected to a full term until 1999. Mr. Rodriguez has taken on many leadership positions to assist the community.  He is a member of several respected organizations including the Hempstead Village branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) &#8211; Silver Life Member, the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN), the Cuban American National Foundation, East Meadow Kiwanis Club, La Hermandad del Senor de los Milagros (The Brotherhood of Our Lord of Miracles), and the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.</p>
<p>He also serves as an officer in the Hempstead Village Republican Club (currently President), Hempstead Health Clinic Board (Board Member), Cuban Civic Club (Board Member), Republican National Hispanic Assembly (Northeast Regional Representative), the Molloy College President&#8217;s Advisory Scholarship Committee on Multicultural </p>
<p>Concerns (Board Member), Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (Board Member), Adelphi University Alumni Scholarship Committee, and Hofstra for Hempstead-Hempstead for Hofstra President&#8217;s Scholarship Committee.</p>
<p>Vote for Max Rodriguez to become the next State Assemblyman for the 18th District. Despite her efforts, our current state assemblywoman has not successfully represented the District 18 in Albany. Her track record fails to display significant gains and can be described as one of the worst records of any member of the State Assembly.</p>
<p>This is why I am running. We need change and we need it TODAY! My proven leadership as a Hempstead Village Trustee, Assistant Director of </p>
<p>Nassau County Minority Affairs, and currently as Special Assistant to Hempstead Town Clerk Mark Bonilla allows me to know how government works, what the community wants, and how to best utilize this information to better serve and represent the constituents of the 18th Assembly District.</p>
<p>For more information on Mr. Max Rodriguez campaign for 18th Assembly District visit his online web site at www.maxrodriguez2004.com Vote for Max Rodriquez on November 2, 2004</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York, NY  April 25, 2004&#8211;Ideal Entertainment Company announced its third annual Icon Competition: Ms. Latina New York USA and Teen Latina New York USA.  The three-day competition begins on May 21, 2004 with a press conference and ends with the main event on Sunday, May 23, 2004 from  6:00-9:00PM, at the Grand Ballroom in Manhattan Center Studios, located at 311 W. 34 St. in New York City. </p>
<p>Diego Olmstead, host of the hot television show โThe Rubโ on the SรญTV network, is hosting the evening.</p>
<p>The main event will feature a special performance by the new Latin rock sensation NUVE.  The reigning titleholders, Sasha Cobo, Ms Latina New York USA 2003, and Stephanie Perez, Teen Latina New York USA 2003, will share their exciting experiences of the past year, take their final bow, and crown the 2004 winners.</p>
<p>The Latina New York USA competition will be accepting applications from contestants through May 1, 2004. Ladies between the ages of 13 to 28 are invited to participate with the opportunity to win over $50,000 in prizes and gifts.</p>
<p>The competition is open to all residents of New York State that are at least 25% Hispanic descent. There is no height or weight requirement, and prior pageant experience is also not required. The goals of the competition are to increase the number of professional Latinas in the media and entertainment industries, to discover new faces and talent to represent the Latino community, and to lead the next generation of Latina media icons! </p>
<p>Contestants will spend three days in New York City vying for the title, while having every moment of the experience filmed for a documentary to be produced by the Ghetto Film School.</p>
<p>The film will serve as an additional marketing tool for Latinas interested in careers in media and entertainment to showcase their talent and potential. The cameras will capture the young women as they compete and interact with other contestants from across the state. Ideal Entertainment is currently negotiating distribution with major cable networks.</p>
<p>All contestants participate in four preliminary competitions: photogenic (photo), personal interview, talent, and swimsuit. During the main event, the top contenders will participate in four additional competitions: swimsuit, evening gown, and two interviews.</p>
<p>Latina New York USA is the official preliminary to the national Latina USA pageant and the winners will represent New York State in their respective pageants. The Ms. Latina USA pageant system is recognized as the #1 pageant system for Latinas. The pageant system awards over $100,000 in cash and prizes annually.</p>
<p>For the first time, the prize package includes scholarships, internships with major media organizations, and a movie role. The grand prize for the winners includes an all expense paid trip to Las Vegas to compete in the national Latina USA Pageant.</p>
<p>Other prizes include professional portfolios, modeling contracts, and an evening gown for the national competition.</p>
<p>Pageant information, contestant registration packages, and ticket sales are available by visiting www.LatinaNewYork.com. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Mildred Carrillo at 917-957-0825 or mildred@latinanewyork.com.
