CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR WITH A GIFT TO THE 

DR. PEDRO ALBIZU CAMPOS PUERTO RICAN HIGH SCHOOL 

DR. STEVE WHITMAN GREENHOUSE

New York, NY, January 20, 2015 - A group of high-powered Latinas from a wide range of professions - politicians, scholars, artists, business owners, activists, professors, authors - released an open letter to the producers of The View" this morning demanding an apology to iconic actor Rosie Perez and all Latinas for derogatory comments made about Ms. Perez by one or more sources at the show. New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, former New York Secretary of State Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez, best-selling author Esmeralda Santiago, and award-winning playwright Josefina Lopez are among the signatories.
The group's outrage stems from recent comments issued to the press saying that Ms.Perez "is not the sharpest tool in the box" and "can't read a TelePrompTer." "Questioning a woman's intelligence is an old stereotype that is sexist and in this case, also racist," the letter states. It goes on to say, "When you disparage the only Latina on "The View" you disparage all Latinas."

When a site gets hacked, personal info gets leaked. So it's time we posed the question: Have you been hacked?

There's one way to find out, and that's by checking the site Have I Been Pwned?

Started by software architect Troy Hunt, Have I Been Pwned (that's Internet speak for "owned" or "dominated") finds out if your information has been compromised in a breach. Simply provide your email (don't worry, it doesn't store anything) and it will give you the (hopefully good) news.

The site not only tells you if your personal info was leaked, but whether it's been pasted elsewhere online, what site it was stolen from, and what data - email addresses, passwords, password hints usernames, you name it - was compromised.

If you want to be kept up to date, the site can notify you if you get hacked.
