Singer/songwriter Karen Rodriguez was born in Miami and raised in New York City. Karen reached national attention on season 10 of American Idol, where she blew audiences away with powerful renditions of “Hero” by Mariah Carey, “If You Had My Love” by Jennifer Lopez, “Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars, and “No Me Queda Más” by Selena. Karen became the first bilingual finalist on the show. Post American Idol, Karen sang background vocals on Marc Anthony’s #1 smash “Vivir Mi Vida” which led to a meeting with Romeo Santos. Romeo asked her to collaborate as a writer on his second album, Formula, Vol 2. Karen co-wrote three songs with Romeo from the project; “Odio” featuring Drake, “Trust” featuring Tego Calderón, and “Gone Forever.” Karen also wrote the Spanish translation of “Somebody” by Natalie La Rose featuring Jencarlos Canela and Kevin Roldan, which was performed at the 2015 Latin American Music Awards. In 2015, Karen began releasing Spanglish covers of popular songs on her YouTube channel. Her Spanish translations of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” and Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” have over 3.5 million YouTube views each to date. Her Spanglish cover of Adele’s “Hello” went viral, surpassing over 10 million YouTube views, and charted #5 on US iTunes Latino chart and #7 Billboard Latin Digital charts. In late 2016, Karen officially signed to Roc Nation Latin under her mentor Romeo Santos and began to work on new music. Earlier this year, Karen released her first original song in Spanish, “La Tonta De Abril”, and in English, “Happy April Fools” – both versions produced by Romeo Santos.

GLAUDI is inspired by generations of the strongest people who influenced fashion in my life! My grandmother who passed away of breast cancer in El Salvador was a designer and my mother Gladis Hernandez inherited her talents alongside my father Jose Hernandez. They were all a big influence in my career as a child. My parents, Jose & Gladis Hernandez, came to the U.S. from El Salvador to achieve theAmerican dream. Due to my mother’s experience with garments in El Salvador they were able to find jobs quickly at sweat shops. Since we were a low income family my parent’s would bring me along with them to their job over the weekends. At the sweat shops I would observe while they worked and I loved it! I’m thankful to God for that experience as a child. Never did I know fashion design would be my career, but God always has a plan. Because of my parent’s humble beginnings I learned at a young age how to create designs for the masses. GLAUDI was created to share with the world what my family inherited in the real world of fashion. My middle name and mother’s name is Gladis and GLAUDI is my life in fashion! I love by the following saying: “GOD IS FABULOUS, PRAISE HIM.” -JOHANA HERNANDEZ FOUNDER/C.E.O of GLAUDI SOURCE: http://www.glaudicollection.com

The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach is an open-wheel race held on a street circuit in Long Beach, California. Christopher Pook is the founder and promoter which began as a vision while working at a travel agency in downtown Long Beach. It was the premier circuit in Champ Car from 1996, and was the first event in the World Series each year from 2004. The 2008 race was the last race for Champ Cars as the series merged with the Indy Racing League.[1][2] It is now an event on the IndyCar Series calendar. The Long Beach Grand Prix in April is the single largest event in the city of Long Beach. Attendance for the weekend regularly reaches or exceeds 200,000 people. The Long Beach Grand Prix is the longest running major "street" race held on the North American continent. It started in 1975 as a Formula 5000 race on the streets of downtown, and became a Formula One event in 1976. Incredibly, in an era when turbocharged engines were starting to come to prominence in Formula One, Long Beach remains one of the few circuits used from the time Renault introduced turbos in 1977 until the last Long Beach Grand Prix in 1983 that never once saw a turbo powered car take victory.

Mexican performer Luis Miguel is an international star who is loved for his well-produced albums and strong live performances. Since 1990, he has been one of the most popular performers in Latin America; beloved enough to be referred to as "El Sol de México" ("The sun of Mexico"). In the United States, he was the first Latino artist to have two Spanish-language albums, Romance and Segundo Romance, go platinum. The latter release won him one of his five Grammys; it also earned a total of 34 platinum records throughout South and Central America. Miguel's international stardom was heavily recognized in 2000, when he took home two awards -- for Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Album -- at the first annual Latin Grammy Awards. Another accolade came in 2003, when he was nominated in the Favorite Latin Artist category of the American Music Awards. Other highlights throughout his discography include Amarte Es un Placer (1999), the tour for which broke his previous record for the highest-grossing Latin artist tour; México en la Piel (2004), which sold three million copies worldwide; Complices (2008), an overdue collaboration with Manuel Alejandro; and a self-titled album (2010) that marked his 40th birthday. ~ Sandra Brennan SOURCE: iTunes

The all-female five-piece headed out on the road with Demi Lovato in February, kicked off their own headlining tour in late spring, joined Austin Mahone (along with The Vamps and Shawn Mendes) for a national summer tour, and in August claimed the much-coveted Artist To Watch prize at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Gonzalez, a former strawweight and junior flyweight titleholder, will make the second defense of the flyweight world championship when he meets former long-reigning junior flyweight titleholder Edgar Sosa on May 16 at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The bout will serve as the co-feature on the HBO telecast headlined by middleweight knockout artist Gennady Golovkin (32-0, 29 KOs), who will make his 14th title defense and look for his 19th knockout in a row when he meets Willie Monroe Jr. (19-1, 6 KOs). Gonzalez, known as "Chocolatito," has been fighting regularly in Japan, Mexico and his home country of Nicaragua, where he is the most significant fighter since the late 1970s/early '80s prime of the man who was once his mentor, late Hall of Famer Alexis Arguello.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, California/USA (Sunday, August 8, 2010) - Local favorite Brett "simpo" Simpson (Huntington Beach, CA), 25, defeated current Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World No. 1 Jordy Smith (ZAF), 22, to win his second consecutive ASP PRIME US Open of Surfing presented by Hurley and Nike 6.0 title while clinching the highly sought after $100,000 check at South Huntington Beach Pier in two-to-four foot (1 metre) surf. SOURCE: © ASP World Tour If last year was a fairy tale win for local boy Brett Simpson, repeating this year was the blockbuster sequel. "It's almost unimaginable," he said "Two in row--this is the stuff that you don't even dream about." In inconsistent, waist high Huntington surf Simpo took out world number one Jordy Smith to win the US Open presented by Hurley and Nike. Smith came in on a roll, winning three of the last four comps he's done, but had somewhat of a shocker in the final. "I kinda sucked out there," Jordy joked afterward. That makes 200,000 dollars Simpson has won here in as many years. Perhaps the only thing sweeter than the big payout is the confidence booster of World Tour superstars he left in his wake. On his way to the final, he took out Dane Reynolds, Kelly Slater, and then finally Smith--three of the top four surfers in the world. Simpson is sitting at the number 24 spot on the World Tour, a bit too close for comfort for the mid-year chopping down to the top 32. And while he hasn't done as well as he'd like in his rookie year on the World Tour, he's getting very comfortable beating the world's best in Huntington. In fact, he won every heat he had at this year's comp. SOURCE: http://transworldsurf.net OFFICIAL WEB SITE: http://www.simplysimpo.com/

HUNTINGTON BEACH, California/USA (Saturday, August 7, 2010) - Carissa Moore (Honolulu, HI), 17, won the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) 6-Star Women's US Open of Surfing presented by Hurley and Nike 6.0 in a wave-starved Final over Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 19, at South Huntington Beach Pier to take out $50,000, the richest first place prize purse in women's surfing history. Sage Erickson (Ventura, CA), 19, also donated a standout performance today when she claimed the ASP Grade-2 Pro Junior in a stacked Final. Moore, who is currently competing in her rookie year on the ASP Women's Dream Tour, started off with two small scores to start the heat, and locked into a lefthander in the dying seconds of the heat to capitalize on her priority to clinch the 2010 Women's US Open of Surfing title over Fitzgibbons. "I was pretty nervous because I only had two 4 point scores," Moore said. "Sally (Fitzgibbons) is gnarly and is a great competitor and I knew when that last set came, if I didn't get on it Sally would have gotten the score easily. I'm just so on top of the world right now, I'm so psyched." The tough victory earned by Moore also saw the young Hawaiian take out the richest prize purse in women's surfing history and the talented natural-footer was beyond belief with her accomplishment. "It is really amazing to win this event," Moore said. "I just can't even believe it right now. It just seems really surreal. That Final went by so fast and I wish I could have done some more surfing, but I'm just really stoked." SOURCE: http://www.aspworldtour.com/
