Source text - Spanish Mmm ¿Y por qué algunas personas tienen diabetes y otras no tienen?
Pues…
A ver señora Hilda, ¿usted qué piensa?
Yo pienso que a veces así como…el páncreas no le trabaja a uno… la falta de insulina por el páncreas. Yo pienso que también son las emociones y por eso a veces a uno se le sube mucho el azúcar, las emociones. Porque la diabetes yo pienso que ataca los nervios a uno.
¿Alguna otra opinión sobre eso? ¿Por qué le da a algunas personas y a otras no? ¿Señora María?
Pues, yo hace poquito esteee…me cambiaron las pastillas para el azúcar porque siempre se me bajaba mucho y se me bajaba y andaba toda temblorosa y necesitaba ¿cómo era? Para…para que se me controlara. Pero esteee…las pastillas que me dieron no me ayudaron sino que al contrario, se me subió el azúcar y se me subía. Y…y esteee…y ya no veía porque ya traía el azúcar muy alta. Entonces, esteee…y como no tenía cita con la doctora no podía agarrar medicina ni nada. No sabía qué hacer. Andaba nerviosa porque ya traía el azúcar a quinientos y ya no sabía cómo bajarla. Entonces esteee…como tengo muchos libros agarré…me puse a buscar a ver qué…qué encontraba por ahí y encontré un libro de recetas de comida natural y entonces esteee… encontré que las habas esteee…son especial para el azúcar. Y yo de…ah, las habas pero las coce uno y huele tan feo que yo… “¡ay no!, dije yo, ¡habas!” Pero dije: “Bueno, voy a probar a ver que…” Entonces yo compré las habas, las cocí, me las comí y fui me chequé el azúcar y entonces y que había bajado a trescientos noventa y ocho y… ”¡Oh!”, dije “¡Uy, qué bueno!” Pues, está bueno. Entonces volví a cocer y volví a comer porque pues, como digo, no tenía cita con la doctora ni nada yo dije: “No me van a atender y ¿qué hago para controlarme el azúcar?” Pues, seguí comiendo y esteee…y me llegó a ciento setenta y ocho y dije: “No, pues ya. Como quiera ya con esto me tomo las pastillas que me dieron, me como las habas", y eso me ha ayudado bastante. La cita la tengo hasta el día quince. Entonces, esteee…pero ahorita ya traigo más o menos al azúcar. Ya esteee…sí veo mejor pero no veía nada y me tallaban los ojos y me tallaban los ojos. No miraba las caras de las personas. Entonces yo andaba bien preocupada por eso. A mí me gusta caminar mucho para…para que el estómago digiera, ¿verdad? Eh, sólo que andaba caminando y me lastimé el pie. Se me dobló y se me inflamó mucho y ya no pude caminar. Entonces eso fue lo que también me arruinó para que el azúcar se me subiera. Pero esteee...pues gracias a Dios que…que encontré esto. Me ha ayudado bastante. Digo, si ustedes quieren cocer las habas, pruébenlas y verán que cuando uno se checa la sangre, baja el azúcar.
Translation - English Hmm. And why do some people have diabetes and others don't?
Well…
Let's see Mrs. Hilda, what do you think?
I think that sometimes since the pancreas does not work well…you don't have enough insulin because of the pancreas. I think emotions play an important role here and that is why one sometimes has a lot of sugar; emotions, I mean. Because I think diabetes attacks your nerves.
Any other opinion about this? Why do some people get it and not others? Mrs. Maria?
Well, in my case, a while ago…I got my medicine for the sugar changed because it would come down a lot and I felt shaky and needed - what was that? To keep it under control...but...see...the pills I got did not help me. Just the opposite, my sugar skyrocketed. And ...and err...I couldn't see because my sugar was so high. So then, err…since I didn't have an appointment with the doctor I couldn't do anything about it. I was nervous because my sugar was at five hundred and I didn’t know what to do. So...err…since I have a lot of books I took one…and started to look for what to do … and I found a book on natural food cooking and then …err… I found that broad beans err…are special for sugar. So then…ah… you cook broad beans and sure they smell disgusting and I went..."Yuck, broad beans! " I said, "broad beans". But then, “Well, I will see and try what..." So then I bought the broad beans and cooked them and ate them and got my sugar checked and it had come down to three hundred and ninety eight and..."Oh," I told myself, "Oh, wow!" Isn't that great? So back I went, cooked them and ate them because I didn't have an appointment with the doctor or anything and I thought, “She will not see me and how would I control my sugar then?” Well, I kept on eating and err…I got it down to a hundred and seventy-eight and said, “Well, uh, by taking the pills I was prescribed and the broad beans I can make do,” and this has helped me quite a lot. I’ve got the appointment on the fifteenth. So, err… but now I can control the sugar more or less. See…err…I can see better, before I couldn't see anything at all, my eyes would explode, they would explode I couldn't see people's faces. So I was very worried about that. I like walking a lot…for the stomach to help in digestion, see? But I was walking and I hurt my foot, I twisted it and it got swollen. That also hurt, and contributed to my sugar going up. But err... but thank God I have found this. It has helped me lots. I say, if you want to cook broad beans, try them and you will see when you get your blood checked, that your sugar has come down for sure.

La verdad es que un servidor no está muy a favor de Windows Mobile como sistema operativo para móviles, ya sea por los problemas de usabilidad que ha acarreado como por su inoportuna inestabilidad. Aún así debo decir que la versión 6.5 de Windows Mobile da un nuevo y refrescante enfoque a una interfaz que ya estaba obsoleta. Si a eso le sumamos la capa Sense, que le da MUCHA vida al terminal, tenemos una interfaz mejorada y bastante accesible. Realmente Sense oculta casi todo lo que no nos gusta de WinMo dándole un toque más fresco e intuitivo, cubriendo la mayoría de aplicaciones nativas como el gestor de contactos, agenda, calendario, gestor de llamadas, correo, galería de fotos y vídeos, etc. La verdad es que gracias a esto y a la velocidad de su procesador y a su memoría, el teléfono parece correr bastante fluido. Pese a que mis dedos podrían definirse más bien como morcillas, el uso del móvil, con una pantalla tan reducida y por ende todo el sistema y textos reducidos, no me ha sido muy difícil tener cierta precisión y evitar errores al pulsar.
Translation - English Interface
The truth is that I’m not much in favor of Windows Mobile as an operating system for mobiles, whether due to the usability problems that it has been dragging along or its untimely instability. Even then, I must say that the 6.5 version of Windows Mobile offers a new and refreshing focus on an interface that was already obsolete. If we add the Sense cover to the phone, it adds A LOT OF life to the handheld; we have an improved and very affordable interface. Sense truly hides almost everything we don’t like about WinMo, giving it a fresher and more intuitive touch, covering most native applications like the contacts manager, agenda, calendar, call manager, e-mail, photo and video galleries, etc. The truth is that thanks to this as well as its processor and memory speed, the phone seems to run pretty smoothly. Although my fingers could be defined more like blood sausages, using the mobile with such a reduced screen and therefore the whole system and text are reduced, it has not been very difficult to be somewhat precise and avoid mistakes when typing.

Source text - English II. Guide to the Antitrust Laws
The antitrust laws are based on the fundamental assumption that a competitive process will increase the supply and reduce the price of goods and services. These laws therefore prohibit conduct that will either blunt the intensity of the struggle among competitors, on the one hand, or, on the other hand, so escalate that struggle by unfair means that only a single firm is likely to survive. For an overview of the antitrust statutes, see Attachment 4.
The first major risk is addressed by Section 1 of the Sherman Act, which prohibits agreements that unreasonably restrain competition. Illegal agreements among competitors are the most obvious examples of Section 1 antitrust violations. They are normally prosecuted criminally and aggressively by the United States government, and they are the most serious violation. But certain agreements with suppliers and with customers can violate Section 1 as well. The second risk is addressed by Section 2 of the Sherman Act, which prohibits certain individual conduct by a monopolist or by someone who attempts to become a monopolist. Both sections of the Sherman Act are expressed in general terms, and they have only been defined on a case-by-case basis by courts over a period of years.
Another antitrust law, the Clayton Act (as amended by the Robinson Patman Act), prohibits certain specific conduct that raises incipient competitive concerns but has not yet ripened into a Sherman Act violation. The Clayton Act also covers subjects like mergers and joint ventures (Section 7) and discriminatory pricing and promotion in the sale of goods (Section 2).
Special Note to Sales, Marketing and Other Personnel: Although the antitrust laws are of greatest concern to people involved in sales and marketing activities, it applies to everyone in the Company. People with responsibilities for purchasing, extension of credit, labor relations, and many other activities, must pay special attention to the antitrust laws.
Translation - Spanish II. Guía sobre las leyes antimonopolio
Las leyes antimonopolio se basan en el supuesto fundamental de que un proceso competitivo aumenta la oferta y disminuye el precio de bienes y servicios. Por lo tanto, estas leyes prohíben las conductas que entorpecen el poder de la lucha entre competidores o que fomenten esa lucha a través de medidas deshonestas que conducirán a que una sola empresa tenga probabilidades de subsistir. Para obtener un panorama general sobre las disposiciones de la ley antimonopolio, consulte el anexo 4.
El primer riesgo principal se menciona en el Artículo 1 de la ley Sherman, que prohíbe los acuerdos que restrinjan la competencia sin justificación. Los acuerdos ilegales entre competidores conforman los ejemplos más representativos de violaciones al Artículo 1. Generalmente, el gobierno de los Estados Unidos sanciona estos acuerdos criminalmente y en forma agresiva, y se consideran la violación más grave. Pero ciertos acuerdos con proveedores y clientes también pueden violar el Artículo 1. El segundo riesgo se menciona en el Artículo 2 de la Ley Sherman y prohíbe ciertas conductas individuales por parte de un monopolista o alguien que intente convertirse en monopolista. Ambos artículos de la Ley Sherman se expresan en términos generales, y los tribunales los han definido exclusivamente según cada caso individual a lo largo de varios años.
Otra ley antimonopolio, la Ley Clayton (según la enmienda de la Ley Robinson Patman) prohíbe conductas específicas que generen inquietudes incipientes acerca de la competencia pero que aún no se consideran como violaciones a la Ley Sherman. La Ley Clayton también abarca figuras como fusiones de empresas, joint ventures (Artículo 7), fijación discriminatoria de precios y promoción en la venta de bienes (Artículo 2).
Nota especial para el personal de ventas, comercialización y otras áreas: aunque las leyes antimonopolio son de primordial interés para las personas involucradas en actividades de venta y comercialización, las leyes se aplican para cualquier persona dentro de la Empresa. Las personas a cargo de las ventas, concesión de créditos, relaciones laborales y muchas otras actividades, deben prestar especial atención a las leyes antimonopolio.

Source text - English Headline: Ken Watkins Retiring This Month
E-mail tagline: After more than 38 years in the mining industry, Ken Watkins, Vice President-Safety, Health and Operational Accountability, will retire July 31.
To: All Freeport-McMoRan Employees
From: Tim Snider, President and Chief Operating Officer
Ken Watkins, Vice President-Safety, Health and Operational Accountability for Phelps Dodge Corp., has decided to retire effective July 31. Ken has been instrumental in resetting the safety culture at Phelps Dodge, and his years of experience and achievement in copper mining, production and manufacturing have earned him wide recognition as a strong operations leader.
After serving 3½ years in the U.S. Air Force, Ken began his career in the copper industry in January 1969 as a laborer in the concentrator at Magma Copper Co. in San Manuel, Ariz. In April 1969, he accepted a job as a maintenance planning clerk at what was then Kennecott Copper Corp.’s Ray Mines Division in Arizona. When he left Kennecott in 1973, he was a foreman in the haulage truck shop.
In October 1973, Ken returned to Magma Copper Co.’s San Manuel operations to be a production supervisor in that company’s new refinery. His career at San Manuel culminated with his service as general foreman of the rod mill.
Ken moved to Cyprus Mining Corp.’s operations in Miami, Ariz., in January 1989 as general foreman of the rod mill. He held several positions during his tenure with Cyprus, and when Phelps Dodge acquired Cyprus Amax in 1999, Ken was vice president of the Miami facility. Ken was promoted to president of Phelps Dodge Smelting, Rod and Refining in 2000 and moved with his family to El Paso, Texas, in 2001. During his years as vice president of Miami and president of Smelting, Rod and Refining, he established an emphasis on “Six Points of Continuous Improvement.” All operations under his leadership were required to focus on six key points – safety, the environment, quality, production, cost control and stakeholder relationships. Ken mandated that none of these six points could be sacrificed in order to achieve a goal.
Ken became involved in resetting the company’s safety culture in June 2005 when he was asked to lead a special initiative to refocus all operations on safety. In June 2006, he joined the Phoenix corporate staff as Vice President-Safety, Health and Operational Accountability.
Ken and his family plan to stay in the Phoenix area. Please join me in thanking him for all his contributions to our company and in wishing him and his family all the best.
Charles Doane, director-health & safety strategic planning, will be responsible for overseeing the Phelps Dodge health and safety organization on an interim basis.

Ken Watkins, Vicepresidente de Seguridad, Salud y Responsabilidad Operativa para Phelps Dodge Corp., ha decidido retirarse a partir del 31 de julio. Ken ha contribuido decisivamente a restaurar la cultura de la seguridad en Phelps Dodge, y sus años de experiencia y logros en la minería, producción y fabricación del cobre le han hecho ganarse un gran reconocimiento como un fuerte líder de operaciones.
Después de servir durante 3 años y medio en la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, Ken comenzó su carrera en la industria del cobre en enero de 1969 como obrero en el concentrador de Magma Copper Co. en San Manuel, Arizona. En abril de 1969, aceptó un trabajo como empleado de planificación de mantenimiento en lo que entonces era la Ray Mines Division de Kennecott Copper Corp. en Arizona. Cuando se fue de Kennecott en 1973, era capataz del taller de camiones de carga.
En octubre de 1973, Ken regresó a las operaciones de San Manuel de Magma Copper Co. para desempeñarse como supervisor de producción en la nueva refinería de esa compañía. Su carrera en San Manuel culminó con su servicio como capataz general del molino de barras.
Ken se trasladó a las operaciones de Cyprus Mining Corp. en Miami, Arizona, en enero de 1989, como capataz general del molino de barras. Tuvo varios puestos durante su permanencia en la compañía Cyprus, y cuando Phelps Dodge adquirió a Cyprus Amax en 1999, Ken era vicepresidente de las instalaciones de Miami. Ken fue promovido al cargo de presidente de Phelps Dodge Smelting, Rod and Refining en el año 2000 y se trasladó con su familia a El Paso, Texas, en 2001. Durante sus años como vicepresidente de Miami y presidente de Smelting, Rod and Refining, estableció un énfasis en “Six Points of Continuous Improvement” (Seis puntos de mejora continua). Todas las operaciones que tenía a su cargo debían enfocarse en seis puntos clave: seguridad, el medio ambiente, calidad, producción, control de costos y relaciones con los accionistas. Ken ordenó que ninguno de estos seis puntos podía sacrificarse con el fin de alcanzar el objetivo.
Ken comenzó a ocuparse de restaurar la cultura de la seguridad de la compañía en junio de 2005, cuando le pidieron que guiara una iniciativa especial para volver a enfocar todas las operaciones en la seguridad. En junio de 2006, se unió al personal corporativo de Phoenix como Vicepresidente de Seguridad, Salud y Responsabilidad Operativa.
Ken y su familia planean permanecer en el área de Phoenix. Agradezcámosle a Ken por todos sus aportes a nuestra compañía y deseémosles a él y a su familia todo lo mejor.
Charles Doane, Director de Planificación Estratégica de Salud y Seguridad, será responsable de supervisar la organización de salud y seguridad de Phelps Dodge de manera interina.

Source text - Spanish Miley Stewart pensó que iba a explotar. No podría contener la noticia por mucho más tiempo. Eso era tan… tan increíble. Tenía que encontrar a Lilly Truscott… ¡ya!
Estaba en los salones de la Secundaria Sea View, buscando a su mejor amiga. ¿Dónde estaba? Miró a las chicas que chismoseaban en los casilleros, a los chicos luchando junto a los baños y a los profesores deprimidos en los marcos de las puertas de los salones, mientras esperaban que sonara la campana. No veía a Lilly por ningún lado.
Miley echó su largo y ondulado cabello castaño detrás de sus hombros, acomodó su maleta y decidió renunciar a su búsqueda en el pasillo. Interceptaría a Lilly en la cafetería. Las dos tenían almuerzo en el siguiente descanso. A Lilly le gustaba ser la primera en la fila para ver qué tan poco especial era el “almuerzo especial” del día.
“¡Lilly! ¡Lilly!” Gritó Miley, mientras se apresuraba a bajar las escaleras y salía al patio de la escuela. Todos comían allí afuera cuando estaba soleado, lo que sucede casi todos los días en el sur de California.
Reconoció inmediatamente el cabello rubio y los pantalones rojos y brillantes de su amiga. Miley corrió de prisa hacia su mejor amiga, que estaba entretenida sacando una botella de agua de una máquina expendedora.
Translation - English Miley Stewart thought she was going to explode. She couldn’t keep the news to herself for much longer. That was so… so incredible. She had to find Lilly Truscott… right away!
She was in the classrooms of Sea View High School, looking for her best friend. Where was she? She looked at the girls that were gossiping in the lockers, the boys fighting next to the bathrooms and the teachers depressed in the doorways of the classrooms, while they were waiting to hear the bell ring. She couldn’t see Lilly anywhere.
Miley threw her long and wavy brown hair behind her shoulders, accommodated her bag and decided to give up on her search in the hallway. She’d run into Lilly in the lunchroom. The two of them had lunch in the next break. Lilly liked to be first in line to see how very unspecial the “special lunch” of the day was.
“Lilly! Lilly!” yelled Miley, while she hurried down the stairs and went onto the school patio. Everyone would eat out there when it was sunny, which was almost every day in southern California.
She immediately recognized the blond hair and her friend’s shiny red pants. Miley ran hurriedly toward her best friend that was entertained getting a water bottle from a vending machine.
