Wisdom for your decisions

HEALTH

By the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation

Cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanics, and breast cancer tops the list of

cancer-related deaths in Hispanic women. The probability of developing invasive breast cancer in Latinas is lower than in non-Hispanic whites (currently, the life-time risk is 1-in-10 for Latinas vs. 1-in-8 for non-Hispanic whites). However, Latinas are significantly more likely to present at a later stage with larger tumors that are hormone-receptor negative, which are more difficult to treat.

Breast cancer is less likely to be diag-nosed at the earliest stage in Hispanic women compared to non-Hispanic white women, contributing to the higher mor-tality rate. Lower rates of mammography screening, delayed follow-up of abnor-mal screening results and more aggressive biology contribute to this difference.

Although economics and access to health care are believed to play a role, studies have shown that sociocultural bar-riers also exist, particularly among mono-

lingual Hispanics, which deter women from seeking medical attention when they experience changes in their breasts. These barriers include anxiety, embarrassment, and the proliferation by the Spanish media (particularly in soap operas) of a more traditional female role of women as care-givers who put the well-being of others ahead of their own. The lower incidence of breast cancer in Hispanic women also

leads to misconceptions for Latinas who interpret the lower rates to mean they don’t have to worry about breast cancer.

There is mounting evidence that descendants of Hispanic immigrants to the US adopt the American lifestyle and as a result have cancer rates that approach those of non-Hispanic whites. For example, within the Hispanic popu-lation, the breast cancer incidence rate is 50% lower in foreign-born Latinas than in U.S.-born Latinas. As the Hispanic pop-ulation grows to a projected one-third of the US population by 2050, the effects of acculturation will have both positive and negative effects on these cancer statistics.

“Within the Latina community, a certain amount of cultural taboo still exists regarding female health issues, along with misconceptions about risk factors,” said Dr. Susan Love, chief visionary officer of Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and author of Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book, which has recently been translated into Spanish (El Libro de La Mama, available on Amazon.com). “Unless we can gain momentum with more discussion and education about breast cancer, and more research into specific causes and preven-tion of breast cancer in Hispanics, the mortality rate could soon surpass that of non-Hispanic whites. This is a problem that has to be addressed by putting more focus on the Hispanic community now.”

Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, and its more than 376,000 volunteers nationwide, invite you become part of a movement to engage the public in breast cancer research with the goal of eradicat-ing the disease once and for all. To learn more and show your support, visit www.actwithlove.org.

IMMIGRATION

By Jeffrey S. Passel, D’Vera Cohn, Jens Manuel Krogstad

and Ana Gonzalez-Barrera

The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the United States has stabilized since the

end of the Great Recession and shows no sign of rising, according to new Pew Research Center estimates. The marked slowdown in new arrivals means that those who remain are more likely to be long-term residents, and to live with their U.S.-born children.

There were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in March 2013, according to a preliminary Pew Research Center estimate, about the same as the 11.2 million in 2012 and unchanged since 2009. The population had risen briskly for decades before plunging during the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009.

As growth of this group has stalled, there has been a recent sharp rise in the median length of time that unauthor-ized immigrants have lived in the U.S. In 2013, according to a preliminary esti-

mate, unauthor-ized immi-grant adults had been in the U.S. for a median time of nearly 13 years—meaning that half had been in the country at least that long. A decade earlier, in 2003, the median for adults was less than eight years.

The new esti-mates are based mainly on data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Com-munity Survey and Current Population Survey, using the widely accepted “resid-ual methodology” employed by the center for many years.1 The estimates of the total population, as well as regarding the share of unauthorized immigrants with U.S. citizen children and length of resi-dence in the U.S., update previously pub-

lished estimates.There is renewed interest in unauthor-

ized immigrants who are long-time resi-dents of the United States and have U.S.-born children because they are among those to whom President Obama report-edly is considering offering a temporary reprieve from deportation (Los Angeles Times, 2014). Obama reiterated in late August that he would prefer that Con-gress pass major legislation to overhaul

the immigration system, but because Congress has not done so, he may take executive action on his own (White House, 2014).

Among the nation’s 10.4 million unau-thorized adults, a shrinking share have been in the country for less than five years—15% in 2012, compared with 38% in 2000. A rising share have lived in the U.S. for a decade or more—62% in 2012, compared with 35% in 2000. About a fifth (21%) had been in the U.S. for two decades or more as of 2012.

As the unauthorized population has tilted more toward long-term residents, these immigrants are more likely to have children who are U.S. citizens because they were born in the U.S. Among unau-thorized immigrants, the Pew Research Center estimates that in 2012, 4 million, or 38% of adults, lived with their U.S.-born children, either minors or adults. In 2000, 2.1 million, or 30% of unauthorized adults, did. About three-quarters of unau-thorized parents residing with their U.S.-born children in 2012—3 million—had lived in the U.S. for 10 years or more.

As growth stalls, unauthorized immigrant population becomes more settled

Tips for keeping you and your money safe from identity theft

Thieves are getting more and more creative with the methods they use to steal money and personal

information. As a result, working to keep your money and identity protected is more important than ever. Remember to use common sense and think twice before providing personal information or payment to solicitors. As the old saying goes, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Think you’ve won the Lottery? Don’t become a victim!

With all the different types of fraud that effect people and companies, there is one specific method that leads a person to believe they’ve won the lottery or sweepstakes when in fact, it is all part of a scam! This scam is known as a Lottery or Sweepstakes scam.

It happens like this…you receive an offer by mail to enter a sweepstakes. You could win a computer, a car, a vacation – or lots of money. What do you need to do? Pay a processing or insurance fee. Or increase your chances of winning by making a small purchase. Don’t do it!

In a legitimate sweepstakes, you never have to pay a fee or purchase an item to enter or win; this includes being asked to “prepay” taxes or fees.

Of course, some companies do offer legitimate sweepstakes promotions. Here are some things to look for to help determine if it’s a legitimate contest that’s safe to enter:

- Rules, including odds of winning; quantity, value, and nature of prize; payment schedule

- Name of sponsor or mailer, including principal place of business or contact address

- All terms and conditions, including entry procedures

- Payment is not required. You never have to pay to play or to collect your prize when the sweepstakes is legitimate.

For more information about prize scams, check out the Federal Trade Commission’s website at consumer.ftc.gov and search for “Prize Scams” or the United States Postal Service’s Preventing Sweepstake Fraud page at deliveringtrust.com.

Protecting Against Elderly Financial Scams & Abuse

Unfortunately elders are more likely to encounter financial scams and fall victim to financial abuse. Because older adults are more likely to have regular income, be trusting and polite and be dependent on support from a family member or caregiver, they can be easier victims for thieves. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently published “Money Smart for Older Adults: Prevent Financial Exploitation” to assist consumers with understanding and protecting themselves against elderly financial abuse. Visit the CFPB’s website at consumerfinance.gov and search for “Money Smart” for the entire publication.

Power of Attorney (POA) or Fiduciary Abuse

A POA is someone that is appointed by you to manage your money or property for your benefit. POAs and Fiduciaries, or agents, should be very trustworthy and honest because they have a high level of access to your information and money. This type of abuse can take many forms but usually involves your agent pressuring you for authority that you do not want to grant, spending money on him or herself rather than for your benefit, or doing things you didn’t authorize him or her to do.

You can help protect yourself against this abuse by requiring that your agent regularly report to another person on the financial transactions he or she

makes on your behalf, telling your friends, family members and financial advisers about your agent so they can look out for you, and being aware of someone who wants to help you out by handling your finances.

Telephone Scams

Older adults are increasingly the targets of scam artists on the telephone who use lies, deception, and fear tactics to convince the elder to send them money or provide personal account information. An example of a common scam is the “grandparent scam.” In this scam, an imposter calls a grandparent pretending to be a grandchild in trouble; they may even know the grandchild’s name. They are usually crying making it hard to recognize the grandchild’s voice. They ask for the grandparent to immediately wire money and not tell any family members for fear of

upsetting them. Many people will immediately jump to the assistance of the grandchild and won’t ask questions until later.

To protect yourself, think twice before you commit to paying. Be suspicious of any pressure to send money via wire transfer or a pre-paid reloadable card. Thieves often claim an emergency, hoping you will take quick action without checking out the situation.

What should you do if you or someone you know becomes a victim of elderly financial abuse?

Start by contacting Adult Protective Services at www.eldercare.gov or by calling 1-800-677-1116. For cases of identity theft, contact your local police and the Federal Trade Commissions (FTC).

STATE

OLYMPIA, Washington (AP)

Two competing measures on the Washington state ballot this fall ask voters to take a stance

on expanded background checks for gun sales. One is seeking universal checks for all sales and transfers, including private transactions. The other would prevent any such expansion.

Supporters of the initiative to expand background checks have received large donations from wealthy figures, including Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, and have spent millions, far out-pacing the anti-expansion effort.

What happens if both pass on Nov. 4 is anyone’s guess, though the Washing-ton secretary of state’s office has said that either the Legislature or the courts would have to sort it out.

“We’ve never passed rival measures dealing with the same subject,” said David Ammons, spokesman for Secretary of State Kim Wyman. Ammons noted that there is no state statute or rule on what to do in such a case. “Someone would most

likely bring a court challenge.”No other state has a gun-related

measure on their ballot this year, but some say proponents of universal back-ground checks in other states could gain momentum if expansion wins in Wash-ington state.

“If you succeed here, maybe you have a shot in some other states,” said Todd

Donovan, a political scientist at Western Washington University.

Six states — California, Colorado, Con-necticut, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island — plus Washington, D.C., require universal background checks for all sales and transfers of all firearms, according to the National Conference of State Legisla-tures.

Like federal law, Washington law requires checks for sales or transfers by licensed dealers but not for purchases from private sellers, like those who sell at gun shows or to friends.

So far, the National Rifle Association has kept a low profile. According to state records, the group has spent less than $200,000 against the expansion initia-tive, a fraction of what has been spent by its proponents. The NRA hasn’t endorsed the opposing initiative.

NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanan-dam wouldn’t address the lack of support for the anti-expansion measure, but said the group felt it was “more prudent” to put its resources toward defeating the background check expansion effort.

A poll conducted by independent poll-ster Stuart Elway this summer indicated strong support, 70 percent, among voters for expansion of background checks. When asked separately about the anti-expansion initiative, less than 50 percent indicated support. But 32 percent of respondents said they were inclined to vote for both.

[Is a a c ] became a very rich

man, and his wealth continued to grow. He acquired so many flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines became jealous of him. … Finally, Abimelech ordered Isaac to leave the country. “Go some-where else,” he said, “for you have become too powerful for us.”… One day King Abimelech came from Gerar with his adviser, Ahuzzath, and also Phicol, his army com-mander. “Why have you come here?” Isaac asked. “You obvi-ously hate me, since you kicked me off your land.” They replied, “We can plainly see that the Lord is with you. So we want to enter into a sworn treaty with you. Let’s make a covenant.—Genesis 26:13-28, NLT

The overwhelming success of Isaac’s business caused so much resentment among the Philistines that their king decided to nationalize his water wells and deport him from the country. Immi-grants often suffer poverty, but not always! If Isaac was not the first foreign investor ever to be expelled from a country, surely he was not the last.

Why did they deport Isaac when his success was growing the Philistine economy? Isaac had drilled wells to culti-vate dry land, and the products he offered in the local markets fulfilled the needs of his neighbors at more favorable prices that the exporters and caravans. Isaac knew that xenophobia lay behind the decision. “You obviously hate me, since you kicked me off your land.”

But the Philistine came to regret their actions. A “certain day” came, when the king, his (economic) advisor, and his sec-retary of defense—what a delegation!—crossed the border to beg Isaac to return

to their land. They came to understand that their economy didn’t work like they thought it did, and it needed that special grace from God that Isaac had for cre-ating wealth and lifting the economy around him.

In our time immigrants play a crucial economic role in the nations of the world. They stetch across a spectrum from wealthy investors to migrant workers, but at all levels they are indispensable to the economic wellbeing of developed coun-tries. They are not always treated with the courtesy and appreciation they deserve. But a “certain day” will come. Yes, sir. The day will come when they and their contributions will be vindicated.

‘One Day’ Will Come



SPORTS

SEATTLE, Washington (AP)

On his sixth snap of the game, Tony Romo took a direct blow to his ribs and spent nearly a

minute trying to get back to his feet.Seconds later, when Chris Jones’ punt

was smothered by Seattle and returned for a touchdown, Romo and the Dallas Cowboys were facing a 10-0 deficit on the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks’ home field.

Romo and his teammates rebounded from the terrible start, validating the strong start to the season with a resound-ing answer.

‘’I think our team now understands that we do a lot of things pretty well and I think we have the ability to kind of impose yourself on other teams,’’ Romo said.

Rallying from the early deficit, the Cowboys relied on running back DeMarco Murray and a defense that con-fused Russell Wilson in a 30-23 victory Sunday.

Murray, who ran for 115 yards, scored on a 15-yard run with 3:16 left to give

Dallas the lead and the Cowboys’ defense held twice in the final 3 minutes to cap a miserable day by Seattle’s offense. Rolando McClain intercepted Wilson’s pass with

less than a minute remaining to clinch the victory.

‘’Guys aren’t going to back down,’’ Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. ‘’We have

the right kind of guys on this team,’’The result wasn’t stunning. It was the

way Dallas won. The Cowboys outhit, out-ran and bullied the Seahawks, showing no intimidation toward Seattle’s top defense or the noisy environment created by the 12th Man.

‘’I think that showed the maturity of this team. We expected to win,’’ Dallas tight end Jason Witten said. ‘’We knew this was going to be a challenge and we stayed the course.’’

It looked very familiar to the way Seattle won last year on its way to the title. And now the Cowboys are 5-1 for the first time since 2007.

‘’They played really well and they did a lot of cool stuff for their football team in all phases, and we were not right, really, in any phase of our game today,’’ Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.

After being lauded for his Monday night performance, Wilson was part of a miserable day for Seattle’s offense. He fin-ished 14 of 28 for 126 yards, 53 of those coming on one completion to Jermaine Kearse in the first quarter.

LATIN AMERICA

CHILPANCINGO, Mexico (AP)

Tens of thou-sands of teach-ers, activists

and residents marched and blocked a major highway in the Guerrero state capital Wednes-day to protest the dis-appearance of 43 teach-ers college students and demand that authorities find them.

The protesters shut down the highway that links Mexico City with Acapulco, marching behind a banner asking “Who governs Guer-rero?” — a reference to the fact that local police working with orga-nized crime have been implicated in the disap-pearances in the city of Iguala.

“Whose hands are we in?” said Rosa Ruth Rodriguez Mendiola, a housewife from the city of Atoyac who joined in the march in Chil-pancingo.

Investigators still had no word on whether the 28 bodies found in a mass grave over the weekend included any of the missing students, who disappeared after two attacks allegedly involving Iguala police in which six people were killed and at least 25 wounded.

The students from the radical rural teachers college had gone to Iguala to solicit donations from passers-by. They were meeting up to return home about the same time the mayor’s wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda, was finishing a speech to local dignitaries downtown.

Javier Monroy, an activist in Chil-pancingo for the families of the disap-peared, suggested the attack could have been caused by the local gang, Guerre-ros Unidos, which thought the students were going to disrupt the speech by Pineda, whose relatives have drug gang ties, according to prosecutors.

Federal Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam has declined to speculate on any link between the speech and the violence.

“I am not going to single out any hypothesis until I have confirmed which is the correct one,” he said late Tuesday.

Iguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca is a fugitive, and state officials have arrested 22 city police officers, who have been replaced temporarily by a special federal police unit.

The whereabouts of the mayor’s wife are unknown. In a Sept. 29 interview with Milenio Television, Abarca said he received reports from police that the stu-dents had been attacking and robbing people who had come to the speech and dance.

“Don’t be provoked,” Abarca said he told them. “I don’t want any kind of vio-lence ... Leave them alone, they’re just passing through.”

Protesters jam road demanding Mexico find students

People protest the disappearance of 43 students from the Isidro Burgos rural teachers college and demand authorities find them in Chilpancin-

go, Mexico, Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014.

“The only thing that I want is education, and I am not afraid of anyone,” Malala Yousafzai has said on numerous occa-sions. The young 17-year-old Pakistani girl won, along with India’s Kailash Saty-arthi, the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.

Her courage has been on display since she was 11-years-old, when she began a blog denounc-ing the restric-tive policies of the Taliban. In response to her popular blog, in 2011 she was shot twice in the head by terror-ists, when she was riding in a school bus. That incident, however, did not deter her, and she would not be quieted.

Born in July 1997, Malala decided at a very young age to defend the rights to an education for women and young girls, a right that was prohibited by the Taliban in the Pakistan province where she lived. Thanks to the support of her family, primarily that of her father – an educator and poet – she has spread her wings and today invites us to believe in her message.

According to the media, Malala appar-ently preferred to continue with her studies for the day when she was noti-fied that she had won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. Without a doubt, it served as proof that her passion for the defense of education is very real while also living up the meaning of her name: “heartbro-ken and melancholy.”

Undoubtedly, we need many more Malalas in order to fix this crazy world. Have a happy week, and God Bless!

114-year historyDear Dave,

If you have a mortgage that will be paid off in the next two or three years, should you pay extra toward the house or invest that money over and above the 15 percent you rec-ommend putting toward retirement?

— Walt

Dear Walt,

I would pay extra on the house. You know, a magical thing happens when you pay down a house and sell it somewhere down the road. The money comes back. You didn’t lose it.

Honestly, you’re not doing a bad thing by putting it into retirement either. But you don’t know exactly what will happen over the next several years of your life or the life of your investments. You might think you know. You might even have a plan. But the truth is even the best plans don’t always work out the way we want.

And if that happens, it sure would be neat to own your home outright!
