U.S. AIDS STRATEGY

On Tuesday, July 12th, President Obama released a report outlining the

United States’ first national HIV/AIDS strategy. While the strategy does

not call for additional federal funds, it does highlight a plan to redistrib-

ute money to areas most affected by HIV/AIDS. The strategy holds many promising tactics to confront HIV/AIDS in the United States. Unfortunately, it has taken nearly 30 years for a national comprehensive HIV/AIDS plan to be developed. The Commission believes that people living with HIV/AIDS need to play a central role in implementing this national strategy.

of us accountable for addressing this epidemic. This new strategy represents an opportunity to better tackle HIV/AIDS in our com-

munities.

Help us to save lives

On July 30, the Honorable David Paterson, Governor of New York signed into law new HIV testing legislation, which will increase our ability to test more people in hopes of reducing new HIV infections and impacting the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS in New

York.

GUILLERMO CHACON

In Vienna, Austria, thousands of people gathered in July for the

18th International AIDS Confer-

ence, where those present agreed on the concept of linking preven-

tion and treatment as the best way

to combat the effects of HIV/ AIDS. Connecting people with HIV to treatment was another issue that was strongly recommended. The next International AIDS Conference takes place in the summer of 2012 in Washington,

DC, and the Latino Commission

will work with partners to make sure that people of color will be represented in meaningful ways.
Dear Friends of the Commission,

As our 2010 summer comes to

a close, we are excited to share with you important develop-

ments that have occurred in the

last few months. On July 13, the

White House unveiled the Na-

tional HIV/AIDS Strategy, the first-ever released document addressing the epidemic in the U.S.

and territories. I was honored to

Peters VA Hosts Valentines for Veterans 2010 During the week of February 7-14, the James J. Peters VA Medical Center celebrated the 32nd Annual National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans. The National Salute is a week-long celebration of special thanks that occurs during the week marked by Valentines Day. During this time, VA Medical Centers across the country invite local celebrities, elected officials and school children to visit veterans and to bring them some Valentines Day cheer. This year, the Medical Center hosted Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez; Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton; and Miss Teen USA Stormi Henley; along with State Senator Jeff Klein and members of the SUNY Maritime Color Guard. "The National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans gives everyone a chance to let our veterans know just how very much they are appreciated," said Medical Center Director, MaryAnn Musumeci, "We’re excited to welcome Miss Fernandez, Miss Dalton, Miss Henley and Senator Klein. Their participation just heightens the celebration and brings a special note of cheer to our veterans.” Musumeci said she hopes visitors will also learn more about the important roles volunteers play at the medical center throughout the year and perhaps pursue volunteer opportunities. "Our medical center’s 464 volunteers are an important part of our health care team and donate over 85,000 hours of their precious time to our veterans. The National Salute program is a great way for people to learn more about helping the veterans we serve," Musumeci said.

    CAPITULO I DEFINICIÓN CAPITULO I DEFINICION 1. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA SITUACIÓN. OBJETO DE ESTUDIO. Entre las actividades más transcendentales practicadas por las mujeres en los últimos tiempos de este siglo, radica en verse preciosas físicamente, olvidándose muchas veces que, la belleza se puede descubrir también en el interior de sí mismas, por eso se hace necesario promover la inclusión y aceptación de la preciosidad femenina desde otras figuras, es decir, aceptar que se pueden ver encantadoras sin importar cuál sea la talla corporal que se luzca. Todo esto se ve reforzado por unos poderosos medios de comunicación que presentan un cierto ideal físico de mujer, necesario para triunfar en la vida, según los cánones de belleza del momento. Según Morrison (2004), a través de la historia, el ideal de belleza se ha fortalecido dentro del contexto social y cada vez ha sido más difícil de alcanzar. El fuerte impacto que ejercen los medios masivos de comunicación; sobre la promoción de este ideal de lindeza y de éxito, así como, el equivalente a estar delgado, apoya la cultura del adelgazamiento. Ahora bien, la campaña "Venezuela tiene curvas" surge del esfuerzo de diferentes jóvenes venezolanas con el propósito de fomentar un sistema 5 6 de valores, considerado perdido en un país, donde “ser bella” es poseer unos atributos de belleza con patrones o valores corporales cercanos a los 90-60-90. Con ésta iniciativa buscan romper los estereotipos e impulsar el amor propio, la sana aceptación, autoestima y desarrollo de personalidad en las chicas que por no poseer estas medidas se sienten excluidas.
