Cancer Prevention Institute of California reports findings on colorectal cancerThe latest study from the CPIC shows the correlation between socioeconomic status and their findings show that unlike African-Americans and Whites, Hispanics with higher socioeconomic status have a higher chance of colorectal cancer. CRC cancer is the third most common in the US, but preventable with regular screenings. Diets high in vegetables and fruit also help with prevention.

Información sobre glaucoma de ángulo abierto Según un nuevo informe publicado en la revista Archives diciembre de Oftalmología hispanos son los menos propensos a hacerse la prueba de glaucoma de ángulo abierto (GAA), lo que resulta en una mayor posibilidad de que no sea tratada. La investigación mostró que más de 3 millones de estadounidenses son víctimas de la GAA, que es una deficiencia visual grave. A medida que Hispanos son la minoría de más rápido crecimiento en el país el informe sugiere un mayor enfoque en las pruebas de glaucoma entre ellos.

Local fraternity gifts toys to elementary students

Veronica Taylor Ramirez SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR More than 1,000 children from local San Jose elementary schools were gifted with toys this holiday season in part of Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Beta Chapter’s annual Arturo Duarte’s Christmas from San Jose State.

This year, San Jose elementary schools, Grant Elementary and McKinley Elementary were chosen. The fraternity visited McKinley last Friday, December 7 and Grant Elementary this past Tuesday, December 12. “It makes the kids feel special, it’s wonderful that these young men care about kids like ours in the community,” said Maria Chichizola, Dropout Prevention Counselor at Grant Elementary School. “Almost 90% of our kids are at or below the poverty line, so this is a difficult time of year for many of

our families, and some kids don’t get many gifts or any at all. So it just makes them feel special.”

Each year the San Jose State fraternity raises funds to purchase Christmas gifts for selected local elementary schools. They also provide a magic show for the students. “They were pretty amazed at all the tricks that the magician was doing,” said Alicia Casas 5th grade Alla bilingual teacher at Grant Elementary. Casas said most of her students had not seen a magic show before, “It was a breath of fresh air for us, in between all the school work and the pacing and testing.”

“It was a lot of work, first I had to go talk to the teachers and see if they are willing to work with us. That was pretty easy,” said Gustavo Bueno, chair of the Arturo Duarte’s Christmas from SJSU community service event. Bueno said majority

of funds used for this event were raised from the organization’s annual Halloween event, “Inferno.” Aside from gift giving, the organization also uses the event to promote the importance of higher education.

“Along with the Christmas experience that we give them, I feel like we’re role models for the kids,” said Michael Aguilar, Vice President of Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Beta Chapter. “It’s actually surprising to see how many kids don’t really know anything about college or don’t have any aspirations to go to college.

So along with giving them the presents and Christmas experience we want to promote the importance of education.” Originally, the event was simply titled, “Christmas at SJSU.” The fraternity would invite one classroom of elementary students to San Jose State University’s campus

to receive gifts. Fraternity member Arturo Duarte’s contributions to community service event helped it grow from one classroom to an entire school. After Duarte’s passing in 2007, the event was renamed in his honor. In 2009, San Jose

State honored the organization for this event with an award for “Outstanding Traditional Program.” Mayor Reed and Council Member Nora Campos also commended the organization in 2010 for its community service throughout the years.

“Personally, I’d like to see one day, if possible, we could do an entire district. I know that’s a big goal, but that is something I know that we can achieve,” said Benjamin Benitez, President of Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Beta Chapter.

OPINION

FISCAL CLIFF FACTORS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

This nation will not fall off the fiscal cliff. No one wants that to happen. Many mainstream comments are about one issue, however reality dictates comprehensive tax reform. President Obama is the right CEO to face this major policy issue at this time because he is for ‘The People’. Defense Secretary Gates stated, “This President’s leadership ability when making policy decisions is excellent. I have observed him thoughtfully considering all things, consulting and listening to everybody and then makes an informed decision which resolved the matter.”

This comment comes from a Bush administration Republican holdover. President Obama and Speaker of the House Boehner are now meeting face to face in private negotiations. The formerly solid Tea Party group is showing signs of ‘falling apart’ in their resolute resistance to negotiation and compromise. The deadline is December 31st. Communicate your concerns and thoughts to your members of the U.S. Congress: both Senators and members of the House.

Here is what is involved: President Obama does not want to ‘kick that can down the road’ anymore.

The ‘Bush tax rate increases and program spending cuts’ begin on January 1, 2013.

President Obama has already proposed the logical first step. Both Senate and House must approve the same tax rate for the first $250,000 for everyone.

This will give the nation some sense of transitional stability.

Then during 2013 Congress can deliberate the many public policy issues which will impact us all.

The President has given notice that the top 2% must begin to pay taxes such as those imposed during the historic Clinton administration (1990’s) when the economy flourished and the nation achieved a surplus.

What would be the outcome of a national budget proposal where the $250,000 is dropped to $200,000 or even $150,000? Would these options enable maintenance of the social safety net as well as national debt reduction?

The goal is to achieve a new balance between all program expenses. And all tax revenues. For too long, the nation has borrowed money to balance its budget. Republicans keep insisting government spending be cut down. That is possible if ‘cutting program spending down’ includes all entitlements, both ‘corporate welfare’ as well as ‘human welfare’. A humane social safety network needs to be sustained which means ensuring support for ‘human welfare programs’.

Social Security needs to be taken off the table because both workers and employers have paid into its program funding. Congress needs to pay back what has been borrowed from the Social Security trust funds.

Also Medicare and Medicaid programs need to be continued while ObamaCare is being implemented. Continue to supply unemployment assistance for those whose jobs do not exist anymore. In addition, returning veterans need assistance with their issues while transitioning back to being civilians again. Taking care of disabled, handicapped, mentally ill and needy residents is a very complicated matter that must be sustained and supported.

Federal tax codes must provide for development of an educational system which is open to all and the envy of the world. In addition, the ‘infrastructure’ must be supported because it is needed to transport people and conduct commerce. Adequate national security must be ensured to protect America at all times.

Understand that when Republicans speak about ‘entitlements’ they are talking about the social safety net, but not including all those items which constitute ‘corporate welfare’. The entire corporate welfare practiced currently needs to be ‘on the table’ for examination and assessment.

These items range from accelerated depreciation write-offs to agricultural land banking programs.

In addition, investment income needs to be ‘on the table’. All sources of income (dividends, capital gains, sales and exchanges) need to be taxed more appropriately. Big Oil subsidies must end. Special interests in the past have successfully reduced investment income taxes from a range of 70% to 92% (during the 1950’s and 1960’s down to 15% which is below the level paid by the middle class today. Also, any corporation doing business in America must not be allowed to have any tax avoidance allowances which permit payment of no taxes.

Remember that while conducting business, these same corporations use the infrastructure which the rest of us have been supporting. The use of infrastructure is part of the cost of doing business…..no more free infrastructure subsidy. If corporations use it, they must pay for that use.

All must pay their fair share. The objective is to have a fair comprehensive tax code which balances expenses and revenues.

Santa Clara County Peer Court: One Year Later David Cortese Supervisor District 3 COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA

The Santa Clara County’s Peer Court recently celebrated its one year anniversary/ It has been a resounding success.

The peer court provides an educational experience for both juvenile offenders and teen volunteers.

It enables young people to challenge themselves by taking responsibility for self government and responsible citizenship.

The ultimate goal is to interrupt the developing pattern of criminal behavior in juvenile offenders by promoting self-esteem and motivation for self improvement while forming a healthy attitude towards authority.

Traditionally in juvenile court system, punishments are passed down by the Judge who is someone in a position of authority. Ask any parent and they will tell you, the first reaction of a lot of children is to dismiss authority.

Consequently, reasons behind these sentences are not often internalized by the offender. Peer court changes that by having a jury of peers hold the juvenile offender accountable for his or her actions—

OCURRIELCIAS Hector Curriel hcurriel777@yahoo.com

through restitution, community service, attendance at workshops, and participation in future juries—the offender is more likely to understand the consequences of bad behavior.

Since its startup, the program has heard twenty three cases. That means twenty three youth have assumed responsibility for their behavior and have accepted the consequences of their actions.

Also, eighty teen volunteers have participated in the process. By taking on the roles of prosecution, defense, bailiff, clerk, and jury, these volunteers are able to provide a positive influence and a more meaningful direction to the juvenile offenders.

The benefits continue.

This experience gives the teen volunteers a hands-on experience with legal process, its court system, and many career opportunities in the legal field. Several volunteers confirmed that these exposures gave them the passion and desire to pursue legal careers.

The Santa Clara County Probation Department has my gratitude for developing and implementing the peer court. Particularly Sheila Mitchell, Chief Probation Officer; Laura Garnett, De-

puty Chief Probation Officer, and Heather Kyles and Hector Sanchez who led the development and implementation of the peer court program.

Lincoln Law School of San Jose, in particular Dean Joe Moless, deserves recognition and gratitude for providing the adult mentors to guide the teens in each of their roles. Deanna Burniekis is the lead training attorney for the peer court.

Also, Christina Adames, Rick Hartman, and Aro Ebenhahn from Lincoln Law School have served as the training facilitators for the program.

Central County Occupational Center (CCOC) has provided their mock courtroom so that participants are able to have an authentic experience in a courtroom. Many of CCOC Probation and Legal Careers Program students have volunteered in the program.

Mark Adams, an instructor of the Probation and Legal Careers Program is a notable example.

If you would like to volunteer for a future peer court session; know a student who may be interested; or would like to know more, call (408) 299-5030 or email dave.cortese@bos. sccgov.org.

DIOVAN (DYE’-o-van) (valsartan) Tablets Read the Patient Information that comes with DIOVAN before you take it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or treatment. If you have any questions about DIOVAN, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN? DIOVAN can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. Talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your blood pressure if you plan to become pregnant. If you get pregnant while taking DIOVAN, tell your doctor right away.

What is DIOVAN? DIOVAN is a prescription medicine called an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It is used in adults to: • lower high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children, 6 to 16 years of age.

• treat heart failure in adults. In these patients, DIOVAN may lower the need for hospitalization that happens from heart failure.

• improve the chance of living longer after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in adults.

DIOVAN is not for children under 6 years of age or children with certain kidney problems.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension). Blood pressure is the force in your blood vessels when your heart beats and when your heart rests. You have high blood pressure when the force is too much. DIOVAN can help your blood vessels relax so your blood pressure is lower. Medicines that lower your blood pressure lower your chance of having a stroke or heart attack.

High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body and causes damage to the blood vessels. If high blood pressure is not treated, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure and vision problems.

Heart Failure occurs when the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. Just walking or moving can make you short of breath, so you may have to rest a lot.

Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): A heart attack is caused by a blocked artery that results in damage to the heart muscle.

What should I tell my doctor before taking DIOVAN? Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including whether you: • have any allergies. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in DIOVAN. • have a heart condition • have liver problems • have kidney problems • are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. See “What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN?” • are breast-feeding. It is not known if DIOVAN passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take DIOVAN or breast-feed, but not both. Talk with your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take DIOVAN. • have ever had a reaction called angioedema, to another blood pressure medicine. Angioedema causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue and/or throat, and may cause difficulty breathing.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. Especially tell your doctor if you take: • other medicines for high blood pressure or a heart problem • water pills (also called “diuretics”) • potassium supplements. Your doctor may check the amount of potassium in your blood periodically • a salt substitute. Your doctor may check the amount of potassium in your blood periodically • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen or naproxen) • certain antibiotics (rifamycin group), a drug used to protect against transplant rejection (cyclosporin) or an antiretroviral drug used to treat HIV/AIDS infection (ritonavir). These drugs may increase the effect of valsartan.

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines with you to show to your doctor and pharmacist when a new medicine is prescribed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start taking any new medicine. Your doctor or pharmacist will know what medicines are safe to take together.

How should I take DIOVAN? • Take DIOVAN exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• For treatment of high blood pressure, take DIOVAN one time each day, at the same time each day.

• If your child cannot swallow tablets, or if tablets are not available in the prescribed strength, your pharmacist will mix DIOVAN as a liquid suspension for your child. If your child switches between taking the tablet and the suspension, your doctor will adjust the dose as needed.

Shake the bottle of suspension well for at least 10 seconds before pouring the dose of medicine to give to your child.

DECEMBER 14 - DECEMBER 20 , 2012

• For adult patients with heart failure or who have had a heart attack, take DIOVAN two times each day, at the same time each day. Your doctor may start you on a low dose of DIOVAN and may increase the dose during your treatment.

• DIOVAN can be taken with or without food.

• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next dose, do not take the missed dose. Take the next dose at your regular time.

• If you take too much DIOVAN, call your doctor or Poison Control Center, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.

What are the possible side effects of DIOVAN? DIOVAN may cause the following serious side effects: Injury or death to an unborn baby. See “What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN?” Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension). Low blood pressure is most likely to happen if you also take water pills, are on a low-salt diet, get dialysis treatments, have heart problems, or get sick with vomiting or diarrhea. Lie down, if you feel faint or dizzy. Call your doctor right away.

Kidney problems. Kidney problems may get worse if you already have kidney disease. Some patients will have changes on blood tests for kidney function and may need a lower dose of DIOVAN. Call your doctor if you get swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands, or unexplained weight gain. If you have heart failure, your doctor should check your kidney function before prescribing DIOVAN. The most common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people with high blood pressure include: • headache • tiredness • dizziness • stomach (abdominal) pain • flu symptoms Side effects were generally mild and brief. They generally have not caused patients to stop taking DIOVAN. The most common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people with heart failure include: • dizziness • joint and back pain • low blood pressure • tiredness • diarrhea • high blood potassium Common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people after a heart attack which caused them to stop taking the drug include: • low blood pressure • cough • high blood creatinine (decreased kidney function) • rash Tell your doctor if you get any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

These are not all the possible side effects of DIOVAN. For a complete list, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

How do I store DIOVAN? • Store DIOVAN tablets at room temperature between 59° to 86°F (15°C - 30°C).

• Keep DIOVAN tablets in a closed container in a dry place.

• Store bottles of DIOVAN suspension at room temperature less than 86°F (30°C) for up to 30 days, or refrigerate between 35°F - 46°F (2°C - 8°C) for up to 75 days.

• Keep DIOVAN and all medicines out of the reach of children.

General information about DIOVAN Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in patient information leaflets. Do not use DIOVAN for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give DIOVAN to other people, even if they have the same symptoms you have. It may harm them.

This leaflet summarizes the most important information about DIOVAN. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your doctor or pharmacist for information about DIOVAN that is written for health professionals.

¿Hay un error en su informe crediticio? Aquí tiene una ayuda

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY Si alguna vez intentó que le eliminen información incorrecta o fraudulenta de su informe crediticio y le han respondido con evasivas, no se desanime: ahora la Oficina de Protección Financiera del Consumidor (CFPB) se encarga de eso.

En julio de 2012, el organismo de control creado como resultado de la Ley de Protección al Consumidor y Reforma de Wall Street Dodd-Frank de 2010, fue autorizado a supervisar a las principales agencias de informes crediticios.

La Oficina de Protección Financiera del Consumidor ahora defiende a los consumidores que presenten denuncias relacionadas con las agencias crediticias y ofrece servicios de protección contra robo de identidad. Esto se agrega a la supervisión de los reclamos y quejas presentados ante este organismo, que ya incluía cuestiones de hipotecas, cuentas bancarias, préstamos al consumidor y préstamos privados para estudios.

“Las empresas de informes crediticios ejercen una gran influencia en la vida de los consumidores”, dijo el Director de la CFPB Richard Cordray al anunciar la nueva responsabilidad de su organismo. “Ayudan a determinar si son elegibles para obtener un préstamo, una vivienda y, a veces, un trabajo. Los consumidores necesitan tener un lugar donde recurrir cuando creen que se ha cometido un error o una injusticia”.

Usted puede pedir ayuda a la CFPB si tiene problemas con: Información incorrecta en su informe crediticio;

La forma en que una agencia de informes crediticios está realizando la investigación de su reclamo; El uso indebido de un informe crediticio; Si no puede obtener una copia de una calificación crediticia o archivo; y Tiene problemas con los servicios de monitoreo crediticio o protección de identidad.

Así es como funciona el nuevo sistema: Si cree que su informe crediticio contiene información incorrecta o fraudulenta, primero debe presentar un reclamo ante la agencia crediticia en cuestión y esperar a obtener una respuesta antes de contactarse con la CFPB. Lo mismo ocurre si tiene algún problema con la forma en que la empresa está llevando a cabo la investigación de su reclamo –por ejemplo, si no le responden dentro de los 30 días.

Si, después de haber presentado su reclamo, no está satisfecho con la solución que le ofrecen, puede presentar un reclamo ante la CFPB a través de cualquiera de los siguientes métodos:

Por fax (855) 237-2392 Por correo a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, P.O. Box 4503, Iowa City, Iowa, 52244.

Una vez ingresado su reclamo, se le dará un número de seguimiento para que verifique su estado. Cada reclamo se procesará individualmente y se enviará

a la agencia crediticia en cuestión para obtener una respuesta. La CFPB espera que las empresas respondan dentro de los 15 días, con información sobre las medidas tomadas o que planean tomar. Usted tendrá la opción de objetar la respuesta de la empresa a su reclamo.

Las empresas de informes crediticios emiten más de 3.000 millones de informes crediticios por año y tienen archivos de más de 200 millones de estadounidenses. Entre otras cosas, rastrean los números y tipos de cuentas de crédito que usted usa, por cuánto tiempo han estado abiertas y si ha pagado sus cuentas en tiempo y forma.

“Las consecuencias de los errores en los informes crediticios pueden ser catastróficas para el consumidor, dejándolo afuera del mercado crediticio, poniendo en peligro sus oportunidades laborales, o aumentando significativamente el costo de la vivienda”, destacó el anuncio de la CFPB. Usted puede solicitar un informe crediticio gratis por año a las tres agencias crediticias más importantes –Equifax, Experian y TransUnion. (Solicítelos a través de www.annualcreditreport.com; de lo contrario, le cobrarán un pequeño cargo). Solicitar proactivamente sus informes en forma habitual puede ayudarlo a identificar una mala conducta crediticia y detectar una actividad fraudulenta o errores antes de que puedan dañar su crédito.

Small Business to Work on CA High-Speed Rail Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR California will be constructing a High-Speed Rail system using a $68 billion budget. The first phase is going through Central CA, from Modesto to Fresno and on to Bakersfield. The Associated Professionals and Contractors of California, Inc, (APAC), will be working to ensure that small minority, disadvantage and disabled veterans business enterprise goals get their chance in the bidding process for the construction of this project. APAC President Diana LaCome took time to answer some questions regarding California’s High Speed Rail project.

Q: Why is it important for small business and contractors to get to work on the speed rail project?

A: This is the largest public works infrastructure in North America. In a state with over 50% minority population, it is only fair that we get some of the contracts.

Small Businesses, who will be paying for the project, along with all CA taxpayers should be able to work on the project.

Q: What steps does a small business or contractor need to take in order to be considered to work on the project?

A: Most companies should have some experience working with agencies in public works i.e., engineering, construction management, construction, etc. But suppliers of all kinds should also register and get certified, i.e., office supplies, office furniture, steel, iron suppliers, etc.

Q: What type of help will the small businesses and contractors

get when bidding on the project?

A: This is a $68 Billion dollar project. Small and Minority owned firms will be 2nd, 3rd tier subcontractors maybe even lower. Companies who have never had a contract with a public agency and who have never bid public works contracts will have a very hard time. We need companies who have certifications and at least some experience on this size of contract. Some small companies who have done big projects in the private sector should be OK. They have “transferable skills” Q: What types of work will be done on the project?

A: Surveying, engineering, construction of buildings, construction management, carpentry, electrical, utility relocations, laying track for the train, etc.

Great Ways to Keep Kids County Board of Education Reading Over the Holidays files suit against former superintendent San José CALIFORNIA

Reading is a way for students to become ready for college. (c) Losevsky Photo and Video shutterstock.com (STATEPOINT) While breaks from school should be fun, they don’t have to be breaks from learning. The down time of the holiday season is the perfect time of year to keep kids entertained with books.

And with recent adoption of the Common Core State Standards, which set expectations for what students should be learning so they will be college and career ready, children of all ages will be expected to read more non-fiction.

“As a parent, you can play an important role in helping your children meet the Common Core State Standards while on break,” says Donna Elder, senior literacy specialist for the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL). “By using fiction and their interests as a springboard for informational reading, you can make this a fun experience.”

Elder is providing reading ideas to feed your children’s interests. It’s all about offering them books on subjects in which you already know they are interested: • For example, if your child enjoyed “The Cricket

in Times Square” by George Selden, you can help foster his or her interest in crickets with “Insectiopedia” by Douglas Florian, “Chirping Crickets” by Melvin Berger, or “Cricket”s by Cheryl Coughlan.

• After reading “The Snow Child: A Russian Folktale” retold by Freya Littledale, follow up by encouraging your child to read about the science of weather with “The Kids’ Book of Weather Forecasting” by Mark Breen and Kathleen Friestad or “Weather” by Seymour Simon.

• Teens who couldn’t put down “The Hunger Games”

by Suzanne Collins may be interested in learning more about the origins and history of real athletic competitions. Start with “The Olympics: A History of the Modern Games” by Allen Guttmann.” Or entertain a newfound interest in the outdoors with “The Ultimate Survival Manual”

by Rich Johnson or a field guides to birds.

• Together, visit the nonprofit website www.Wonderopolis.org, voted one of TIME magazine’s 50 Top Websites of 2011. Wonderopolis is an effective way to teach nonfiction reading,

which the Common Core State Standards identify as a critical skill. The site’s feature, “Wonder of the Day,” is aligned with these standards, examining a new topic daily.

• Is your child interested in baseball? From historical accounts like “Baseball: A History of America’s Favorite Game” by George Vecsey to a book that explains how bats are made, such as “Good Wood: The Story of the Baseball Bat,”

by Stuart Miller, you can help kids score an academic homerun.

• Inspire the inner-chef in your children and test their ability to follow instructions with “Kids’ Fun and Healthy Cookbook,” by Nicola Graimes. Or opt for a picture-book biography like, “Bon Appetit! The Delicious Life of Julia Child”

by Jessie Hartland.

Don’t let “educational” and “boring” mean the same thing in your household. By seeking out reading material that engages your children on their level on subjects that are meaningful to them, you can help them meet the Common Core State Standards, while having a very merry holiday season.

The Santa Clara County Board of Education filed a lawsuit today (Monday, Dec. 11) in Santa Clara County Superior Court against former County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Charles Weis. The lawsuit arises out of the housing loan that was provided to Dr. Weis by the Board in 2008 as a component of his employment.

a condominium in downtown San Jose. Following his retirement, Dr. Weis expressed his desire to relinquish his ownership in the condominium and convey it to the Santa Clara County Office of Education without offering to make further payments on his loan. The property now is believed to be valued at considerably less than the original purchase price and the amount currently owed on the loan

by Dr. Weis.

When Dr. Weis was hired, the Board provided him with a housing loan in the amount of $915,000.

Dr. Weis used some funds from that loan to purchase

While the Board has attempted to reach a negotiated resolution with Dr. Weis that would protect the financial interests of the taxpayers and would have

Dr. Weis making payment to the Board to make up for the loss of value in the condominium, no such resolution has been agreed upon to date. The Board instructed its attorneys to pursue alternative remedies to give Dr. Weis the opportunity to voluntarily honor his obligations under the loan, but such attempts have not been accepted.

The Board has now instructed its attorneys to pursue litigation against Dr. Weis to establish its title to the condominium, and as a first step towards recovering the value of the loan given to him.

Capturing Cuba’s Beauty

COMMUNITY

Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR

Las inundaciones pueden dañar muchas cosas.

Como su viaje al trabajo.

Foothill College Photography Professor Ron Herman has always been intrigue by the mystique of Cuba. For the past three years he has led groups of photographers to Cuba to engage in activities that brought photographers from both countries together to share ideas and information. Earlier this year he took photography students from Foothill College to explore Cuba and its people.

What made this third photography trip to Cuba so unique was the contrast between the timelessness of Cuba and its people with the current context of impending change. American curiosity about Cuba is on the rise, as more and more Americans travel to Cuba.

Newly introduced free enterprise, entrepreneurship and redevelopment were evident, Herman says. From vendors selling the Cuban rendition of hot dogs and pizza at the baseball stadium to paladares (privately-owned restaurants) and entrepreneurial bicycle cab drivers free enterprise is taking hold across this island nation 90 miles off the coast of Florida.

This was a professional research trip. Silicon Valley photographers, many associated with Foothill College, had to submit an application and professional credentials to qualify for this type of legal

His groups based themselves in Havana hotels. The group travelled outside Havana to various provinces, exploring both the rural and urban landscape. They visited Pinar del Rio, Cienfuegos, and Trinidad on this last trip.

“The arts, culture and creativity in the broadest sense are highly valued in Cuba as are exchanges with the international creative community.

As photographers from the “heart” of Silicon Valley, we were welcome visitors,” Herman says. “Relationships established through prior visits afforded the photographers the opportunity to explore beyond the traditional tourist destinations, including photo walks with Cuban photographers, and visits to

the National Art School and the homes of Cuba’s leading artists.”

Herman has put together a collection of photos taken in Cuba and is calling the exhibit Cuban at Heart. “We fell in love with Cuba for its beauty and its people. The Cubans drew us into their lives and welcomed us into their homes. Cuban at Heart captures the magnetic pull of the Cuban people–their warmth, openness, and resourcefulness.” Herman says. “I am looking forward to returning to Cuba this Spring to lead another exciting professional research trip for artists (March 30 – April 13, 2013).”

The Cuban at Heart Exhibition is running through January 17, 2013 at Foothill College.

Algunos consejos sobre el cuidado de su árbol de navidad Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Una de las mejores cosas de la temporada de Navidad es el fragante árbol de navidad que ilumina las casas por todo el mundo. Para mantener su árbol feliz y lleno de vida durante el mayor tiempo posible, hay un par de consejos sobre cómo mantenerlo así. En primer lugar, asegúrese de que si lo compra de una granja de árboles ya cortados pídale a

un empleado que le corten una sección de la base del árbol, esto es porque después de ser cortado durante más de 4 horas, la base del árbol se cubrirá con savia y el sello que se crea de esa parte hace difícil para que el agua llegue hasta el resto del árbol.

Al llegar a la casa con el árbol se puede cortar las ramas que trae de exceso para darle un aspecto agradable.

Después colócalo en un lu-

gar fresco y lejos de la ventilas de aire o calor. Unas de las cosas más importantes para su árbol es tener una buena fuente de agua. Si el árbol tiene menos de 6 pies de altura, una base de un galón es buena para nutrir el árbol y mantenerlo con vida por una buena cantidad de tiempo. Asegurándose de que tenga suficiente agua a diario significara una vida de un mes o más para tu árbol de navidad. Felices fiestas.

Consejos de “CHICKEN LITTLE” · Nunca maneje a través de áreas inundadas. · Nunca camine, juegue o nade en aguas inundadas. · Conozca la mejor ruta a tierras más altas. · Mantenga el tanque de su coche lleno de gasolina.

Feng Shui para la Navidad Look Hot With What You Got Marion Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR El milenario arte oriental de mantener nuestro espacio en armonía con el universo, mejor conocido como “Feng Shui” se puede utilizar para diversos propósitos tanto contemplativos como estéticos, comerciales y de carácter personal.

Hoy en día existe feng shui para el hogar, para la felicidad, para el amor, para el trabajo y el feng shui para la “Navidad” es el último descubrimiento para los amantes de este arte.

El feng shui navideño además de crear un ambiente de armonía y bienestar, fomenta en los habitantes de un hogar los más sublimes y nobles sentimientos en esta época tan radiante y festiva.

Los siguientes elementos decorativos son básicos y esenciales para crear el feng shui navideño: -El árbol de navidad simboliza la alegría de vivir y la buena salud para todos los habitantes del hogar.

- El nacimiento nos unirá en gozo y sentimiento con el espíritu de la natividad.

- Las luces y esferas de colores auguran auge y bonanza material para el año que viene.

- La figura representativa de Papá Noel y otra del hombre de nieve simbolizan protección y amparo espiritual cuando se invoque y precise.

que al ser distribuidos en toda la casa propician los buenos augurios y predisponen la llegada de la buena fortuna para el 2013.

-La flor de noche buena siempre ha sido representada como el más auténtico talismán navideño que estrechará los lazos afectivos con la familia y los amigos.

Para pedir el deseo que más anhele que se cumpla para el próximo año, lo que debe hacer es, colocar en el árbol de navidad elementos representativos de los tres obsequios que recibió el Mesías de parte de los Místicos Reyes Magos: una prenda de oro, un saquito que contenga incienso de iglesia (frankincense), y otro relleno de mirra.

Ofréndelos simbólicamente y con mucha fe al Niño Dios la noche de la natividad.

Si lo hace con entusiasmo y fervor el resultado le sorprenderá.

-Las campanas anunciarán en forma simbólica la llegada de la natividad y la permanencia del regocijo en nuestras vidas.

-Las velas aromáticas de colores rojo, verde, plateado y dorado, representan el poder del fuego que consume a la adversidad y que prepara al mismo tiempo el camino a nuevas y mejores oportunidades.

-El incienso refrescará y le dará lustre al aura de la casa.

-Y la música acorde a la ocasión representada por los alegres villancicos se convertirá en el himno de armonía y felicidad que nos acompañará durante los próximos doce meses.

Todos los ingredientes anteriormente señalados cumplen a cabalidad y esencia con los cinco elementos primarios del feng shui <<agua, aire, fuego, metal y tierra>>

En antiguos almanaques de la época medieval, se puede leer un sortilegio, el cual recomienda dar un obsequio a una persona necesitada en víspera de noche buena.

Quien lo haga con buena voluntad, será receptor de una gran bendición entre el día de reyes (6 de enero) y el 2 de febrero día de la Candelaria.¡¡¡Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas, Bom Natal, Buon Natale, Joyeux Noël, Froehliche Weihnachten, Mele Kalikimaka, Maligayang Pasko!!!

Sabrina Gonzalez SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR Heat up the scene this winter season, by sporting a sizzling new look, without spending a dime! Now that the weather has cooled down, it is the perfect season to really utilize what you already have in your closet. Get creative and update the style/look of your favorite “old faithfuls!!”

Whether it is a dress, suit, top, skirt, sweater, or what have you… you can totally change it up! All you need is the know-how, confidence, and a smile, and bam!! You’ll be “smokin” right down Santa Claus Lane…

First, have an idea of the look you’re going for, smoldering diva, hot mama, blazing dame, etc… Second rummage through your closet and pull all the pieces that make you look and feel your best. These pieces can be anything from hats to shoes, and anything in between (earrings, pants, scarf, stockings, clutch-purse, etc…). Be sure there is space to either hang or layout all your selections, so that you can easily see what you have and maximize all your options to the fullest. Next, allow your AlterEgo to come through…

Be inventive and mix-andmatch suit pieces, experiment with layers, accessories, and shoes, and come up with your very own sultry holiday look.

And really, don’t dismiss anything until you have tried it on! This process can be a bit time consuming but it is worth it! It’s best to play dress-up in front of a full length mirror, so you can get the full headto-toe visual.

To pull off any look, it is imperative that all undergarments and/or shapewear fit properly and match the hue of your outerwear. I will followup with a detailed article on undergarments (very soon), but for now here it is in a nutshell. Any visibility of your undergarments can instantly char your look. If you’re wearing dark outerwear, wear dark underwear. If you’re wearing white or pale outer hues, wear nude or beige underneath.

If you don’t have the right underwear, find a Plan B for outwear.

“Hot Mama” look.

Use a belt to define your waist and enhance your shape. Try using a beautiful scarf, sash, strand of beads, or cool neck tie in place of a belt to create your own unique look.

“Smoldering Diva” look.

Let a single pair of shoes be all the difference. Take your outfit from day to night, by simply changing out your daytime shoes for a pair of spicy heels. I know heels/ pumps aren’t for everybody, but I personally believe that pair of heels can make all the difference in the way you look and feel. Regardless, only wear what you feel most comfortable in. If heels aren’t your cup of tea, then try a swanky clutch purse to add some flair.

Keep it simple and don’t get gaudy! This tip also applies to hair and make-up. Don’t go out looking over done, because the goal here is to look and feel effortlessly fabulous!

To help light your fashion fire I have transformed a single dress into 3 different looks.

I achieved each look/style, by simply changing up my accessories and shoes. If you need some inspiration for your look, try searching online or through magazines.

Have fun, be patient, openminded and a little daring, and you will be amazed with what you come up with.

Tell us about your “old faithful” favorites. Share your tips and thoughts on how to keep the flame lit with the oldies but goodies in your closet.

Here are some tips on how to turn things up a notch: Make sure all clothing pieces, accessories, and shoes are clean and in good condition.

Jewelry pieces, they don’t have to be real or expensive… they just need to look the part! J This means no visible chipped or faded enamel, no missing stones or gems.

“Blazing Dame” look.

Help Kids Eat Healthy Eating right can be fun when you get creative with condiments (NAPSI) Good news for parents concerned about getting their kids to enjoy a healthful diet: Here are three simple steps you can take: 1. Eat together. According to research published in Pediatrics, children who eat with their families have healthier diets and are less likely to be overweight. As a bonus, they also tend to perform better in school than their peers.

2. Involve children in making their own meals.

When theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve packed their lunch for school or helped prepare a healthful dinner, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to enjoy it.

3. Dress up the meal with dressings and sauces. Mayonnaise, salad dressings and condiments are delicious ways for your family to get creative at mealtime.

Hot sauce, salsas, prepared horseradish and Dijon mustard can add just the little kick to food it needs. Try salad dressing as a dip or a marinade for meats and veggies, suggest the experts at the Association for Dressings and Sauces.

Give the gift of hearing this holiday season (BPT)

As the holiday season approaches, consider presenting your loved one with the gift of hearing this year.

Take your loved one to see a hearing care professional. A hearing care professional can help find the right style and technology level of hearing devices to perfectly fit your loved one’s needs. It’s important to find the right hearing aid that matches a person’s lifestyle. With technology improvements, hearing aids have come a long way from the large devices that echoed feedback just a few years ago.

Now hearing aids are specifically designed to improve hearing in noisy environments, eliminate feedback and make it easier for a person to enjoy watching TV, listening to music, talking on cellphones and more. Visit Starkey.com for information about hearing aids, hearing health and to find a professional.

Giving the gift of hearing to a loved one this holiday season not only is a gift to the recipient, but also his family, friends and coworkers. Visit Starkey. com to find a hearing professional near you and to research which hearing aid would be the most beneficial for your loved one.

Jenni’s últimos cambios Monterrey NOTIMEX

El empresario que contrató a Jenni Rivera para el concierto que ofreció en esta ciudad el sábado pasado reveló que “La Diva de la Banda” decidió cambiar su itinerario y viajar a la ciudad de Toluca de último momento.

El portal conexiontotal.mx, informó que Jesús Arreola, director de Acción Artística, empresa que tuvo a su cargo el último concierto de la intérprete, reveló que fue la propia Jenni quien prefirió regresar a la capital del Estado de México.

El plan original era que durmiera en la ciudad de Monterrey junto a su equipo de trabajo, pero debido a que tenía que llegar temprano a un llamado de “La voz...

México 2”, decidió cambiar su itinerario de último momento. “Hablamos con ella (Jenni Rivera) y su representante (Mario Macías) a las 02:30 horas. En esa llamada fue cuando nos informaron que habían cambiado sus planes y volarían de una vez a Toluca”, indicó Arreola. Al concluir su presentación, “La Diva” comentó a los empre-

sarios su deseo de asistir a la presentación que la Banda MS ofrecería en un conocido lugar de Monterrey, durante las primeras horas del domingo. De inmediato, personal se encargó de lo necesario para que la intérprete de “La gran señora” pudiera asistir, “le teníamos cuatro mesas en el

área VIP, le habíamos conseguido un disfraz para que no la reconocieran, además le reservamos un hotel”, contó Arreola. Durante la prueba de sonido, que se prolongó hasta casi las 20:00 horas del sábado, Jenni expresó su interés de regresar al mismo recinto en febrero próximo. “Ella se

emocionó en el soundcheck, su representante vino a decirme que querían regresar la última semana de febrero.

Preguntamos para que nos dieran disponibilidad y nos dieron el 16 de febrero, de hecho íbamos a dar el anticipo”, puntualizó el empresario.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey In theaters December 14

The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome Dragon Smaug.

Approached out of the blue by the Wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild, through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs, as well as a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the Goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities...A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Resalta prensa de EUA el triunfo Dispuesto Reynoso a salir si Chivas de Márquez sobre Pacquiao no logra cosas grandes en Clausura Washington NOTIMEX

La victoria del mexicano Juan Manuel Márquez sobre el filipino Manny Pacquiao este sábado en Las Vegas, fue contundente, en un encuentro memorable que será recordado en los anales de la historia del boxeo, destacó hoy la prensa estadounidense.

“The New York Times” publicó que el desenlace del cotejo, al que asistió el ex aspirante presidencial republicano Mitt Romney, puso fin a una década de “frustración” para el pugilista mexicano.

“Una rivalidad caracterizada por la falta de un triunfo definitivo, de súbito tuvo el final más definitivo de todos”, reseñó el diario.

Se trató de la cuarta pelea entre ambos, con la primera

terminada en empate, y la segunda y tercera ganadas por Pacquiao por decisión dividida y mayoritaria, de manera respectiva.Aunque Márquez fue a la lona en un asalto previo, regresó con furia para conectar un golpe de derecha a la cara de Pacquiao que pareció no percatarse: “Tiré un golpe perfecto”, aseveró el mexicano.

Pacquiao, quien antes de la pelea había sido saludado por Romney, fue enviado a un hospital de Las Vegas, donde se le practicó una

tomografía computarizada.

“Los Ángeles Times” resaltó que el mexicano logró por fin vengar las derrotas previas en lo que calificó como una pelea “memorable”. “La historia dirá o que Márquez fue el mejor peleador o que se trató de dos de las peleas más reñidas de todos los tiempos”, publicó el matutino.

Por su lado, “The Wall Street Journal” coincidió en que fue el tipo de pelea que se recordará en los anales de la historia del boxeo.“La pelea del sábado (en Las Vegas) fue una expresión de lo mejor del boxeo, una exótica y algo angustiante combinación de brutalidad y belleza”, remató.

Los medios estadunidenses también hicieron eco de la posibilidad de un quinto encuentro entre los dos pugilistas.

Guadalajara NOTIMEX El capitán Héctor Reynoso, de 32 años de edad, afirmó que está dispuesto a salir de Chivas de Guadalajara si el equipo no logra cosas grandes en el Torneo Clausura 2013 de la Liga MX. “Para mí sí es una revancha (la temporada que viene), pero no del torneo (regular), me parece más de la liguilla, en lo personal me quedó esa espinita clavada de lo que fue la liguilla, (porque) defendimos mal y eso me lo adjudico y eso me dejó amargado todas las vacaciones”, expresó.

Explicó que “he hablado mucho con mi directiva, también con mi cuerpo técnico, a tal grado de decirle que si en el próximo torneo,

si el equipo no hace cosas grandes, yo me hago a un costado”. En declaraciones para el programa Pasión, agregó: “Lo que quiero es que este equipo triunfe siempre, yo me prepararé, lo repito, lo tomo como una revancha, sé que vamos a estar bien y me atrevo a apostar eso, a comprometerme en eso con la afición”.

Luego reiteró: “Sí ha pasado por mi mente esto, también confío que con el

trabajo de mi equipo y con el mío nos va a ir bien, vamos a arrancar bien, va a cambiar toda la perspectiva, pero sí, no le tengo miedo el apostar el hacerme a un lado e irme a otro lado”.

El equipo rojiblanco se encuentra en la localidad jalisciense de Barra de Navidad, donde realiza su pretemporada de cara al Torneo Clausura 2013, que arranca el 4 de enero próximo.
