Add to Outlook/iCal Calendar >
Dolores Huerta is president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation, dedicated to community organizing. She co-founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar E. Chavez and is also an active member of the Fund for the Feminist Majority.
As legislative advocate for the Community Service Organization and the United Farm Workers Union, she was instrumental in passing historic legislation: disability insurance for farm workers, voting ballots in Spanish, driver's licenses in the driver's ethnic language, public assistance eligibility for resident immigrants, the end of the infamous "bracero" program, and legalization for 1 million farm workers under the Immigration Reform Act of l984-85.
As the main negotiator for the UFW, she obtained many "firsts" that had been denied to farm workers: basic sanitation and clean drinking water in the fields, medical coverage, pensions, job security, seniority rights, rest periods, paid vacations and holidays, and protections from pesticides in union contracts.
Dolores Huerta will appear in conversation with Berkeley School of Law Lecturer and Senior Fellow Maria Echaveste. Echaveste is a former U.S. presidential advisor to Bill Clinton and White House Deputy Chief of Staff under the second Clinton administration. She is one of the highest-ranking Latinas to have served in a presidential administration. She is currently a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and a co-founder of the Nueva Vista Group, a policy, legislative strategy and advocacy group working with non-profit and corporate clients.
Please join us for this very special event in San Francisco.

While on approach to Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, American Airlines flight 879 (AAL 879) was being radar-vectored to the final approach course for runway 28 and American Airlines flight 93 (AAL 93) was on a straight-in approach to runway 27L. Both aircraft were under control of Chicago Terminal Radar Approach Control. Because of an air traffic control oversight, AAL 879 overshot the final approach course for runway 28 and continued northbound, conflicting with AAL 93 on the runway 27L final. According to preliminary Federal Aviation Administration data, lateral separation decreased to 0.35 nautical mile and vertical separation was 0 feet before the conflict was resolved. There were no injuries or damage reported as a result of the incident, which occurred in visual meteorological conditions, with 10 statute miles of visibility and a 5500-foot ceiling.

Turn any PET bottles you have lying around into fabulous Christmas ornaments to hang on your tree!
- PET bottles
- paint (white and light blue)
- scissors
- pliers
- string
- a hole maker (or just pierce with the tip of a scissor or use the pliers, be careful!)
- paint brush (thin)
Cut off the flower-bottom of the PET bottle like so:
You can pierce a hole in one of the "petals" now before you paint it so you don't smudge it!
Now it's time for you to look at a picture of a snowflake and get some inspiration before you paint!
Use your imagination and your creativity!
Once dried, string the thread through the hole and turn it into an ornament. You can even go as far as buying little metallic hoops to string through a hole in the plastic but that's not necessary.

The airplane was climbing when the engine lost partial power. The pilot turned back toward the departure airport and the engine lost total power. During the subsequent forced landing, the airplane struck a fence, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing. Examination of the engine crankcase halves revealed fretting at the No. 2 main bearing saddle surfaces, which indicated insufficient clamping force during assembly due to inadequate torque on the bolts. The No. 2 main bearing was broken into pieces, which were observed in the oil sump. Examination of the crankshaft revealed a fatigue fracture that initiated in the fillet between the No. 2 main journal and the cheek at the aft end of the journal. The fatigue crack features observed in the No. 2 main bearing were secondary and were a result of high stresses on the bearing as it shifted. This most likely resulted from insufficient bearing crush due to insufficient clamping force on the crankcase saddle surfaces. According to the engine logbooks, a 100-hour maintenance inspection occurred 19.5 hours prior to the accident, which required a mechanic to verify that the crankcase bolts did not exhibit looseness.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
