USCIS Launches Spanish-Language Version of E-Verify Self Check

U

.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that Self Check, a free online service of E-Verify that allows workers to check their own employment eligibility status, is now available in Spanish and accessible to residents in 16 additional states: California, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington. It expands on the initial launch of Self Check in March 2011 for residents who reside in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Mississippi, Virginia and the District of Columbia. “Self Check equips workers with fast, secure access to their employment eligibility information before they apply for jobs,� said USCIS Director Ale-

jandro Mayorkas. “By offering Self Check to Spanish speakers and making the service more widely available, USCIS makes good on a promise to streamline and protect the integrity of the E-Verify process for employees and employers alike.�

Self Check is the first online service offered directly to U.S. workers by E-Verify, a Department of Homeland Security program administered by USCIS in partnership with the Social Security Administration.

Employers use the Internet-based E-Verify service to determine employees’ eligibility to work in the United States through information reported in the employee’s Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification).

When workers over the age of 16 use Self Check to confirm their eligibility to

work in the United States, they enter the same information that employers would enter into E-Verify. Self Check allows users to compare their information to the same databases that E-Verify accesses, giving them an opportunity to address any existing data mismatches before they are hired by an E-Verify-participating employer.

USCIS will continue to evaluate and improve the Self Check service, which it intends to expand nationwide by spring 2012.

For more information on Self Check, please visit www.uscis.gov/selfcheck.

OPINION

C

riticism of the Obama Administration’s Secure Communities deportation program has reached a new apex, as elected officials and law enforcement leaders offer serious rebukes of the program and immigrant communities and newspaper editorial boards call for it to be scrapped altogether. Among the recent developments: • Communities Say that “Secure Communities” Actually Creates Insecure Communities: Immigration advocates and community representatives from six major cities are engaged in a campaign of rallies and public hearings to expose the real public safety concerns about this deportation dragnet program.

• The More Law Enforcement Learns, The Less They Like Secure Communities: The New York Times reported that Boston’s Police Commissioner Edward Davis “had been a Secure Communities supporter, because his records showed that it had removed many violent criminal immigrants from Boston jails. But he concluded from the new figures that immigration officials had misled him.” Said Commissioner Davis, “They specifically told us they would not be removing people with traffic offenses. They said they wouldn’t and now they have…This is a throwback to the bad old days of the federal agencies before 9/11, when we did not have cooperation. It is really dis-

concerting that they are not at all concerned about our precarious situation with immigrant communities.” Commissioner Davis’s comments echo those of many other law enforcement figures, who recognize the damage that Secure Communities does to effective community policing because it makes immigrant crime victims fearful of any contact with the police.

• Elected Officials Speak Out Against S-COMM – Then Have Their Hands Slapped: Recently, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unilaterally cancelled its Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) on Secure Communities (S-COMM), an immigration enforcement program of the Obama administration that was sold to state governments as a way to identify and deport serious criminals. Over the past several months, Governor Patrick Quinn (IL), Governor Andrew Cuomo (NY) and Governor Deval Patrick (MA) suspended their involvement with S-COMM, citing data that the program is deporting large numbers of non-criminals and destroying the relationship between police and the immigrant community that is needed to bring criminals to justice. However, just as states were making headlines for their opposition to the program, DHS announced it would unilaterally impose this controversial program on all jurisdictions with or without their consent.

• Editorials Slamming SCOMM and Obama Administration Leadership on Immigration: The New York Times editorialized over the weekend that the program fits in with “the Obama way on immigration. He talks softly of giving hard-working illegal immigrants a chance to get out of the shadows and get right with the law, but has achieved nothing, through legislation or executive action, that would allow that to happen.

• All the while, the administration has moved to ramp up deportations, expanding the brutal efficiency of a system that Mr. Obama has acknowledged is broken, arbitrary and unjust.” The Los Angeles Times took a similar tone in their editorial, writing, “The president has publicly called for an overhaul of the nation’s broken immigration system to give those who work hard but are illegally in the country a chance to remain here legally. Yet his administration has failed to curb a program that deports many of the very people he says deserve a chance to stay. The president’s leadership on immigration has been anemic. He can’t solve the problem alone, but he has done little beyond delivering speeches blaming Congress. At the very least, Obama should shelve Secure Communities and stop making matters worse.”

It’s More About Than “Jobs”

By Hilbert Morales

Hmorales@el-observador.com

W

here is the ‘Super-Commission on Jobs’? What is going on today? The focus of many local leaders is about the need to create jobs, cope with inadequate revenues and cut costs. The recent focus of many Republican Presidential candidates is on lower taxes and ‘smaller government’.

President Obama has been speaking about the need to have government spend more money on the infrastructure projects as a way to ‘create jobs’. That means public works of all kinds…bridges, overpasses, highways, harbors, airports, etc.

This requires the U.S. Congress to initiate the funding legislation for these projects. Those funds go to the various states who then would have federal funds for their high priority projects.

That means Congress must authorize allocations at a time when federal tax revenues are not being generated in sufficient amounts to provide the funds needed. So the U.S. Treasury receives authorization to ‘print more money’ or to sell U.S. Treasury notes (i.e., borrow that money).

What is wrong with today’s economy is that the federal tax laws are full of loopholes for the very wealthy and corporations. As a consequence these same corporations benefit from a low 15% tax rate, while the middle class employee (if still employed) pays a 33% tax rate. So one major issue is the employed middle class carrying the burden of paying a major share of taxes.

Even Warren Buffett, the multi-billionaire, recently advocated for those who earn more than $1 million to pay their fair share of federal income taxes.

The emphasis on jobs requires an analysis of the impact of robotics and automation, made possible today by cybernetics (computer sciences) and information technology (IT). As a result of the global economy, many ‘middle class’ jobs were shifted to offshore locales where skilled labor could be engaged cheaply.

The focus of many executives was to ‘make profits’. Several trillion dollars of those profits are in offshore bank vaults because to bring them back to the U.S.A. exposes these funds to the payment of very large corporate taxes.

Connect that with the observation by many fiscal analysts that the top 1000 U.S. corporations have not paid any taxes

because of the many loopholes (tax credits and subsidies).

Now, recall that tax credits are used by many cities and states to attract businesses into having their offices and factories located in that local jurisdiction (city, county, and state).

The outcome is that a firm such as Adobe, locates in the City of San Jose because its San Jose Redevelopment Agency provided ‘tax credits’ and a subsidy. The devil is in the details for each and every enterprise.

Now then, listen closely to the politicians when they speak at local town hall meetings. The Republicans address the issues involved in ‘Obama Care’ (public health and welfare) and Social Security entitlements which are going to escalate because the Baby Boomers are now becoming age 65 and entitled to the Social Security funds into which both employee and their employers each paid their share. Therefore, this entitlement is due to the retiree who has earned it during his/her working years. Social Security is not a tax credit or subsidy.

And in the health care sector, the elderly will require more medical attention.

It is estimated that up to 40% of health care costs can be recovered by elimination of fraud.

Insurance industries do not want to have ‘big government’ enabled to monitor their current practices, rates, and profits.

Government decision making is being paralyzed by small special interest groups who are strategically located so as to block any inquiry or comprehensive approach which enables any resolution of any issues extant today.

The immediate needs require government to be very transparent and capable of incurring more ‘debt’ so as to be able to underwrite public sector projects. In addition, the current federal tax code needs to become ‘very fair’.

The tax code needs to shift to taxing and collecting monies when a business transaction occurs rather than ‘when profits are calculated using the ‘out of date’ tax credits and subsidies’ to avoid taxes. It took some 50 years to get into this current inequitable mess.

Do not expect to come out of it easily.

Our current economy cannot be corrected by ‘creating jobs’ alone. It must be about America’s confidence to make the investments which enable what is fair and equitable for the many rather than the few.Δ

Chuck Teller, Director Ejecutivo de “Catalog Choice” explicó la ventaja de usar este servicio gratuito para detener el envío de correspondencia no deseada a nuestros domicilios. los residentes en San José hacen uso de este servicio”, dijo Chuck Teller, Director Ejecutivo de Catalogo Choice.

EO preguntó que si este servicio llega para correspondencia durante tiempo de electorales. “Nosotros no tenemos acceso a fuentes de gobierno, en este caso el Registro de Votantes y por eso es algo que no podríamos manejar” explicó Teller.

Las personas recogen sus correspondencias, desechan de inmediato estos directorios, catálogos y cupones. Muchas personas no se toman ni la tarea de mirarlos. Tal es el caso de Elizabeth Arteaga.

“Siempre me lleno de papeles y publicidades que no he pedido. Todos estos papeles terminan en el tacho de la basura” explica Arteaga a EO. “Estamos tratando que nuestros residentes se libren de tanto papel que rápidamente termina en la basura”,

dijo el Concejal Sam Liccardo.

La ciudad dice que por año más de 74 mil toneladas de correo basura y otros papeles son reciclados. Los defensores de la ecología afirman que cada tonelada de correo basura que se deje de imprimir puede evitar que 17 árboles sean talados.

Las autoridades afirman que

este servicio gratuito ayudará a la ciudad desha cerse de toneladas de resi duos en cada envío que se haga por correo.

Las personas que le interesen apuntarse en este servicio gratuito pueden visi-

tar http://sanjose.catalogchoice.org.

La ciudad intenta promover este servicio gratuito a fin de cumplir con la meta que tiene en su programa ecológico “Green Vision” de reducir a cero la basura para que no termine en un cien por ciento en los vertederos.

San José es una de los ciudades de los Estados Unidos que recicla en un 62%.

La ciudad en su tarea de continuar con el plan “Green Vision” para este año, se ha pro puesto incluir un programa de abono orgánico que recoge basura de comida y productos orgánicos de la cocina. La ciudad también pondrá en efecto la prohibición de bolsas plásticas y la distribución de bolsas de papel en todas las tiendas para enero de 2012.Δ

he California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce hosted its 32nd Annual State Convention during which the participants had the opportunity to celebrate the educational, political, and economic success of its Latino Business community.

The convention provided workshops, offering the latest trends in business development and insights into growing a successful business. The convention also allows organizations to identify, recognize and honor its leaders.

This year, the California Hispanic Professional Association (CHisPA) was delighted to announce Monica Amador as the Community Leader of the Year. They presented an award to her at the convention expo at the Double Tree Hotel, San Jose CA. ”I’m honored. I’m humbled,” said Monica

Amador, Chief Operations Officer of EO (El Observador Publications, Inc.). “It was a nice surprise. As stock holder of EO, I am thankful that it affords me the opportunity to get involved in our community and I love it.”

CHisPA is a non-profit organization that educates and prepares Latinos in the areas of civic engagement and leadership development. They have approximately 500 active members who contribute and help achieve their mission.

Amador has received awards before that recognize her leadership, but she wasn’t expecting to be named ‘leader of the year’. She explained how perseverance is key.

“You develop long term relationships with the community and business leaders and that’s something the community needs to know,’ said Amador. (See more photos and visit www.el-observador.com)

l arte de pequeños estudiantes del 5º grado de la Escuela Primaria Curenton ya se exhibe en la concu rrida avenida de Alum Rock en el este de San José.

Tras largos meses de esfuerzo las obras artísticas fueron presentadas el pasado 13 de agosto a lo largo de esta transitada calle.

El proyecto artístico se inició en octubre del año pasado gracias al apoyo de Alum Rock Educational Foundation. La fundación se asoció con la artista Corinne Okada Takara en un proyecto llamado “You are Here StreetBanner Project” (Estas en el proyecto de banderolas en la calles).

Okada se encargó de entrenar a los estudiantes del 5to grado y los resultados fueron sorprendentes. Se diseñaron 17 banderolas que es exhiben a la altura de la cuadra 30 de la avenida Alum Rock y en las esquinas donde

está localizado la Plaza de la Herencia Mexicana.

La fundación recaudó dinero para dar luz verde a este proyecto artístico que involucró a toda una clase de esta escuela del este de San José.

“Nos sentimos orgullosos de nuestros estudiantes y de este proyecto. Gracias a la artista Okada se ha logrado embellecer nuestras esquinas de la avenida Alum Rock pero también se ha logrado estimular a los estudiantes en sus habilidades artísticas”, dijo Kim Mesa Presidenta de Alum Rock Educational Foundation.

La técnica “Los pequeños fotografiaron lo que según sus criterios identificaba a su ciudad, luego crearon diseños textiles en formato digital que les permitía imprimir estas imágenes gigantescas hasta plasmar sus ideas visuales y concluir en una estandarte”, dijo la artista Corinne Okada. Δ

l pasado 13 de agosto decenas de padres de familia de la Escuela Primaria River Glen dieron el ejemplo a sus pequeños . Un total de 120 personas entre ellos voluntarios adolescentes de la Escuela Secundaria Abraham Lincoln ayudaron a limpiar la escuela para tenerla lista este 15 de agosto, fecha en que se inició la etapa escolar en el Distrito Unificado de San José.

Los padres de familia hicieron trabajos de jardinería, limpieza profunda en las aulas, los baños, pintado de paredes entre otros proyectos.

“El distrito cuenta con el personal de mantenimiento. Sin embargo un grupo de padres de familia a través del programa HABLA acordaron limpiar la escuela y hacer algo adicional a lo que hace el Distrito Escolar Unificado de San José” dijo el nuevo director, José Salcido.

Los jóvenes voluntarios y ex- alumnos de la Escuela Secundaria Abraham Lincoln se presentaron a 8:30 am y permanecieron hasta las 3 de la tarde ayudando a los padres de familia con esta limpieza .

El 13 de agosto fue el único día para que los padres ofrecieran sus horas en las labores de jardinería y limpieza profunda de ventanas.

“Me siento muy contenta de participar en la escuela de mis hijos. Estamos limpiando estas ventanas que no se han limpiado en los últimos 16 años. Queremos ofrecer una escuela, limpia y saludable” dijo Claudia Knigge.

fter a series of donation drives and effort from the community, Sacred Heart hosted their “Pack-a-Back� event. Children and parents from all over the South Bay received school supplies and backpacks.

Parents registered 6 weeks ago. They listed the names of their children and the grade they will be attending for the school year of 2011-2012. Last year 1500 students received a backpack with supplies. This year over 2,000 were assisted.

To meet the exceptional need in Silicon Valley, Sacred Heart held the largest back to school event in their history. They believe lowincome students should not face additional challenges in school just because they don’t have the resources to purchase the necessary supplies. “We don’t have money to buy backpacks.

My husband works very little,� said Maribel Juarez, parent of 3 children. “This is very helpful. I am very grateful.�

Juarez heard about the backpack event while watching a local Spanish-speaking channel. Last year her family struggled to buy the required school supplies. She was glad

that her children were going to be prepared for school.

Each backpack had school supplies according to the child’s grade level. That included notebooks, calculators, pencils, and gift cards for shoes, an overall $80 investment in the child’s education. “This helps my family more than they know,� said Catalina Gomez, parent of 2 daughters. “My kids love picking out a backpack. They were asking me about it all day.�

Be aware that backpacks having blue or red colors will not be distributed to children because these two colors are indicative of ‘gang membership’.

Parents like Gomez are making sure that their kids are prepared. She was lucky enough to get help last year where many parents were turned away. This year one parent stayed overnight to ensure her children received backpacks.

Once the parents arrived they were guided by one of the staff members or a volunteer. Over 200 volunteers helped parents and children navigate through the sections of backpacks. “I am very thankful and happy,� said Gomez.

I am very concerned about diabetes and its impact on everyone, especially members of the Latino community. So I decided to tell about my personal journey as an individual who is a diabetic and knows it now. There was a time when I could not, and would not, admit that I had diabetes.

The onset of my diabetes occurred when I was 45 years old. As an employee of the Family Service Association, I worked in its office building which was not air conditioned.

During that work day, I felt warm, became jittery, sweated a bit, and felt nauseas. I thought I had the flu, but it would not go away or stop. My daughter Sandra came to take me home because I did not think I was able to drive safely. Sandra noted that I almost lost my balance a couple of times.

When I sat down, I felt sleepy and drowsy. Sandra kept me awake by feeding me popsicles. She finally took me to the hospital where the doctors diagnosed my condition as being diabetes.

The hospital staff sent me to the American Diabetes Association. My daughter Linda took me. Linda attended the informational lecture with me. We both learned that diabetes was a family matter. The whole family had to be involved. The advice received was the dietary change had to occur.

I felt guilty because I was the mother who cooked for the whole family. The easiest attitude to take on was very negative. I had to learn to read every label for anything I

used in preparing meals for my family.

Are you aware that many sodas have 28 grams of sugar? Each four grams equals one teaspoon of sugar. Then there is ordinary flour, rice, beans and dairy products such as cheese….all these have high carbohydrate content which is easily converted into sugar by your digestive system and your personal metabolism.

I have learned to say, “No, thank you. I am a diabetic” to those who offer me food which is not good for me. The wrong foods are like substance abuse to my system.

Like an alcoholic who has undergone Alcoholic Anonymous orientation, They say, “No, thank you, I am an alcoholic.” when someone offers them an alcoholic drink. It is essential for me to keep reminding myself that am a diabetic.

I was surprised to learn the many ways sugar is used in processed foods. I also had to learn about electrolytes which are important for proper nerve function. Electrolytes include potassium, iron, zinc, manganese, calcium and phosphorus. It was all very illuminating. Today, I am able to stay off all medications by controlling my diet and doing my exercises. My situation is that the diabetes caused me to have kidney failure.

Other diabetic patients have circulation problems which impact their eyes or causes their lower legs to be amputated… with me it was kidney failure. I did not take care of myself. But diabetes can be controlled….everyone can be in control of their diabetes.

When my husband, Gilbert passed on some seven years ago, I thought that as a

widow I would live only five years more. I am still here alive and doing very well because I have been able to learn about what I need to do and have been disciplined enough to do what I need to do. I visit my “kidney” at the dialysis center three times a week. I am on the kidney dialysis machine three times a week for 3 hours and 15 minutes each time. I enjoy the professional and personal attention I get from my nurse, dietician, social service worker, and dialysis technician. I enjoy them all. By being disciplined, I am able to feel good and do what is necessary as the Board Chairman, 4C’s.

Diabetes is the seventh most common cause of death today in America. From 2005 to 2007, 13.5% of the population had diabetes. And many do not know that they have diabetes. The cost of diabetes in America was $174 billion during 2007. If these trends continue, one in three kids will be diabetic; with 50% of the minority kids (African-American and Latinos) being diabetic.

I am fortunate in that my family is engaged, involved and supportive. It is good to be able to admit that “I am a diabetic. It is very important to have a positive attitude. I have the awareness and discipline today to manage my diabetes so that I do not need any pills nor insulin injections.

Many in our Latino community need to learn about diabetes so that they will begin to effectively manage their journey through live with it. I am able to do that and so can they. But first, they must become aware and informed that they have diabetes. Then do what must be done to manage it.

Insuficiencia de vitamina D vinculada a menstruación temprana

U

n estudio reciente vinculó los bajos niveles de vitamina D en las jóvenes con un comienzo temprano de la menstruación, lo cual es un factor de riesgo para una variedad de problemas de salud en las adolescentes al igual que para las mujeres más adelante en la vida.

Los investigadores de la Escuela de Salud Pública de la Universidad de Michigan midieron los niveles de vitamina D en la sangre de 242 niñas con edades de 5 a 12 años en Bogotá, Colombia, y les hicieron un seguimiento por 30 meses.

Las niñas que tenían bajo nivel de vitamina D resultaron dos veces más propensas a comenzar la menstruación durante el estudio que las que tenían suficiente vitamina D, dijo el epidemiólogo Eduardo Villamor, profesor asociado de la Escuela de Salud Pública de la UM. Esto es importante por varias razones, dijo Villamor.

En todo el mundo ha habido durante años una lenta disminución en la edad de la primera menstruación o menarca lo cual, según Vil-

lamor, indica una causa ambiental dado que no han cambiado los factores genéticos que inician la pubertad.

“Desde una perspectiva ambiental sabemos relativamente poco acerca de qué inicia la pubertad”, dijo Willamor. “Si supiésemos qué es lo que causa esta disminución en la edad de la primera menstruación podríamos desarrollar intervenciones” que prevengan la menarca prematura.

La menstruación temprana es un factor de riesgo de problemas de conducta y psicosociales en las adolescentes. Asimismo las niñas que tienen una menarca temprana parecen tener un riesgo mayor de desarrollar enfermedades cardiometabólicas y cáncer, en particular cáncer de mamas, en la edad adulta.

El estudio exploró formalmente el vínculo entre el nivel de vitamina D de las niñas y el momento de su primera menstruación. Las investigaciones previas han indicado que la menarca ocurre más tarde en las niñas que viven más cerca del ecuador que en las niñas que viven en países norteños.

Ocurre que las niñas que

viven en países norteños pueden tener tasas más altas de deficiencia de la vitamina D durante los meses de invierno debido a una limitada exposición al sol.

En la investigación Villamor y sus colegas encontraron que el 57 por ciento de las niñas en el grupo con deficiencia de vitamina D llegó a la menarca durante el período del estudio, comparado con el 23 por ciento de las niñas en el grupo con suficiente vitamina D. En términos de edad las niñas con bajo nivel de vitamina D tenían, en promedio, 11,8 años cuando empezaron a menstruar comparadas con el otro grupo a una edad promedio de alrededor de 12,6 años.

Esta diferencia de diez meses es sustancial, dijo Villamor, porque aunque diez meses no parezca mucho a esa edad muchas cosas ocurren rápidamente en el cuerpo de una joven.

Si bien los resultados indican que hay una vinculación entre el nivel de vitamina D y la menarca, los investigadores no han establecido una relación causal. Es necesario hacer más estudios que muestren si las intervenciones que

modifiquen el nivel de vitamina D de las niñas resulta en un cambio en su edad de menarca.

A

Charlie Brewster en su ultimo año de escuela (Anton Yelchin) por fin le va todo perfecto: sus amigos son los mas populares y su novia es la chica mas codiciada de la escuela. De hecho es tan popular que esta ignorando a su mejor amigo. Los problemas surgen cuando Jerry (Colin Farrell) se muda a lacasa de al lado.

Al principio parece un tipo estupendo, pero algo no esta del todo bien— de cualquier man-

era, nadie, incluso la madre de Charlie (Toni Collette), se da cuenta. Tras observar actividad muy sospechosa, Charlie llega a una conclusión inequívoca: Jerry es un vampiro alimentándose del vecindario.

Incapaz de convencer a nadie, Charlie tiene que encontrar la manera de deshacerse del monstruo por si mismo en esta edición renovada del clásico de horror y comedia de Craig Gillespie.

n the surface, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all...married to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby and intelligent twin step kids. But in reality, trying to mother Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly don’t want her around, is her toughest challenge yet.

Also, her husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldn’t know a spy if he lived with one which is exactly the case - Marissa’s a retired secret agent Marissa’s world is turned upside down when the maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet and she’s called back into action by the head of OSS, home of the greatest spies and where the now-defunct Spy Kids division was created. With Armageddon quickly approaching, Rebecca and Cecil are thrust into action when they learn their boring stepmom was once a top agent and now the world’s most competitive ten year olds are forced to put their bickering aside and rely on their wits.

With a little help from a couple of very familiar Spy Kids, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara), and some mind-blowing gadgets, they just may be able to save the world and possibly bring their family together while they’re at it.

Siete inciensos de la suerte Por Mario Jiménez El Observador

A

lmizcle: Este incienso al ser quemado exuda una fragancia potente y expresiva, la vibración del almizcle es física y altamente magnética.

Su esencia ha sido asociada con Ángeles y hadas, además actúa como estimulante para el cuerpo psíquico asistiendo en el incremento de la fuerza de voluntad, autoestima y determinación.

Copal: Incienso que se ha venido usando desde hace miles de años. Se utiliza básicamente en ceremonias y limpias espirituales. Actualmente se cree que al quemar copal en su estado original se atrae la buena suerte, especialmente en asuntos de dinero.

Es ampliamente conocido por su acción purificadora, la fragancia que emana predispone el buen humor y el entusiasmo.

Incienso de iglesia: Se dice que esta regido por el Sol,

por esta razón el incienso de iglesia o “frank incense” es el incienso favorito para combatir la depresión, melancolía, confusión e irritabilidad. Es el incienso ideal para realizar limpias. Luminoso, espiritual y exótico, este incienso proviene de lugares tan lejanos como el este de África y el sur de Arabia Saudita.

Patchouli: Es ampliamente conocido como un afrodisíaco con poderes mágicos. Es una fragancia altamente estimulante, su potente aroma irradia sensualidad, alerta los sentidos ayuda a organizar los pensamientos, y erradica los malos recuerdos.

Cuando se inhala se dice que tiene un efecto rejuvenecedor y erótico al mismo tiempo.

Sándalo: Es una de las fragancias más populares, especialmente por su cualidad de levantar el ánimo y avivar el espíritu, por esta razón esta madera es considerada sagrada y es comúnmente quemada en forma de incienso durante la oración y meditación. El sándalo es fre-

cuentemente usado en limpias espirituales y en regresiones.

Sangre de dragón: Resina que ha sido utilizada desde los tiempos de lo sumerios, en aquel entonces se recetaba quemar sangre de dragón para contrarrestar y desterrar fuerzas y espíritus malignos, también se usaba a la hora de realizar exorcismos. Actualmente se usa para el mismo propósito y para realizar limpias en viviendas y comercios.

Tres reyes: Tiene números efectos como energizante mental, estimula profundamente las habilidades extra sensoriales. Muy conocido por su habilidad para derribar barreras mentales. Fue utilizado en tiempos antiguos para ahuyentar malos espíritus. En tiempos actuales es usado como aroma esencia en iniciaciones y sesiones espirituales. *Los días más propicios para quemar incienso son los martes, viernes y domingo.

Julieta Venegas not only writes her music but she plays the piano, guitar and accordion.

By Cinthia Rodriguez and Luis Alba – El Observador

I

t was hard to get back to work after experiencing the fourth annual San Francisco Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival. I’m not just talking about processing what happened but I also mean physically. All things aside, this year was one of the best years for Latino acts.

The first day was literally a walk in the park. The Golden Gate Park was host to four different stages for the diverse acts scheduled throughout the three days.

On the second day, French-Chilean MC Ana Tijoux took stage. She didn’t hold back and gave herself to the audience for 45 minutes. She dedicated a song to Chilean students, whom she asked for support from the audience by sending their positive vibes. The students are fighting for a better education system and that has never happened. She rapped about relationships and fully interacted with her audience.

As she closed her set with her single “1977,” an upcoming Mexican artist was ready to begin. Actress turned singer Ximena Sariñana stood behind her keyboard and politely thanked her audience for being there.

Then she sang her heart out. Focusing on songs from her English debut self-titled album. The audience were left wanting more, as she exposed them to mellow and catchy pop songs.

Festival goers were exposed to another type of performer, Julieta Venegas, a veteran and highly talented artist. The crowd went wild as she walked on stage with her band.

The audience was particularly excited of her songs that showcased her ability to play the accordion. Her folky style came at a perfect time, on the last day of the festival, where the bittersweet feelings start to emerge. Before ending her set, she shared the stage with Tijoux.

For those who had the energy, Camilo Lara also known as Mexican Institute of Sound delivered a set of cumbias to hundreds of people. Other acts included Muse, Phish, and Arcade Fire.

Although it was an adventure to travel from stage to stage in itself, the festival keeps getting better and better. It’s incredible to see Latino artists perform in such a huge event.

España se fue a la huelga en el fútbol Madrid, (Notimex)

N

o habrá futbol este fin de semana en la Liga Profesional de España tanto en la división de honor como en la segunda, aunque las pláticas seguirán el próximo viernes, así lo dieron a conocer los representantes de clubes y jugadores.

Los representantes de la Liga de Fútbol Profesional y la Asociación de Futbolistas Profesionales se reunieron por espacio de 90 minutos y no lograron llegar a un acuerdo, por lo que decidieron parar cuando menos en la primera fecha, ya que el tiempo es demasiado corto para tomar una decisión diferente.

La charla entre representantes continuará el viernes con el objetivo de llegar a un acuerdo y jugar la segunda fecha, así como ver las fechas probables para reponer la primera jornada que por ahora tendrá que esperar. Oficialmente la huelga estallará este jueves a las 24:00 horas.

Lo único cierto de esta reunión es que representantes de ambas partes no tuvieron un buen ambiente y que los ahí reunidos de la Asociación de Futbolistas estuvieron cerca de no asistir.
