VICTOR CRUZ WON'T DANCE WITH THE STARS; ITS ALL FOR THE NEW YORK GIANTS
Earlier this week, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz received an invitation to join Dancing with the Stars for its new season in March.
In his second NFL season, Cruz is a big reason why his Giants have surprised many with a 9-7 record this year, good enough dance their way into the playoffs. He leads all receivers on his team with 82 catches for 1,536 yards and nine touchdowns, and each trip to the end zone capped off by a salsa dance celebration. He admits that his dance steps to celebrate six points caught the attention of the reality show, but for now he's content to keep his salsa to the highlight reel. "I'm not going to do it, I chose to decline it because I don't feel like I'm at the point of my career where I can do something like that," Cruz told Yahoo! Sports. "I'm focused on football; focused on my family right now." Click here for more.

 NOTCHRemember the days when you could count on the late Celia Cruz NOT remixing La Vida es un Carnaval over a reggaeton beat? Probably not! In the last decade we've become accustomed to Latin genre breakers, Pitbull, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, and Marc Anthony crossing over to Pop from Latin and everything in between. These artists have been successful at taking musical risks we as listeners take for granted. To remain relevant in this day and age, artists incorporate R&B, pop, Latin, and hip hop into their sound. But it wasn't too long ago that artists didn't genre hop, but instead they would dig their heels into their decided musical destiny and rarely venture into unchartered waters. Then came along artists like Notch who dared to break Latin music boundaries by infusing his music with sounds outside of the genre. Calling upon his multicultural background, Notch created and continues to construct a bricolage of sound mixing reggae, Latin, and pop. When asked to describe himself as an artist, Notch puts it best, "I'm a classy crooner, a fusion-ista. Like a young Harry Belafonte!"

In a Cuban Kitchen BY ALEX GARCIA Running Press Immensely appealing and alluringly spicy, Cuban food has exploded in popularity. Recently, many Nuevo Latino chefs have chosen to interpret it in various "fusion" dishes, but the real home cooking of Cuba is delicious and rewarding on its own. Discover in a new cookbook which not only explores the riches of the cuisine but also reveals the unique beauty of Cuba itself. Influenced by the diversity of cultures that have settled on this Caribbean island over the centuries, including Spanish, French, African, Arabic, Chinese, and Portuguese, true Cuban cooking is exciting and varied. From such festive finger foods as croquetas, pastelitos, and bocaditos to traditional entrees like arroz con pollo, picadillo, and bistec emanizado, there's a wealth of savory dishes to explore. Learn how to create the traditional medianoche, or Cuban sandwich, brew a cup of bracing caf� cubano, and make the sumptuous dessert known as dulce de leche. In addition to the treasury of 100 traditional recipes, compiled by an accomplished Cuban-born chef, In A Cuban Kitchen provides a fascinating look at sugar cultivation, rum production, and other native resources essential to Cuban cuisine.
