CONGRESS MUST FIX IRS INCOME TAX CODES Apple CEO stated, “The U.S. tax code needs a dramatic simplification.” The U.S. Congress has the authority to formulate new IRS tax code simplifications.

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

The U.S. Congress must fix the current IRS tax codes by dealing with the first step: Forget about incremental revenues, just simplify the existing corporate income tax provisions NOW. Personal income taxes may be revised later. The U.S. Senate conducted hearings on Tuesday, May 21, 2012, during which the current corporate income tax strategies of Apple, Inc. were exposed to public scrutiny.

Apple CEO Tim Cook ably presented the viewpoint of anyone who pays taxes on incomes earned. The basic rule is to pay not a penny more than required by the current IRS tax code. At issue was the legal and technical use of the laws of Ireland and the U.S.A. which allow for a subsidiary holding company to be used by Apple to hold $75 to $100 billion ‘offshore’.

Apple has done nothing illegal….its all in the current IRS tax code passed by U.S. Congress.

The current tax code permits sheltering of revenues earned overseas. These revenues are not subject to the current 35% corporate income tax at all. Apple executives have to bring that money ‘home’ to America before it is subject to that 35% corporate income tax.

Who formulated the current legislation which is incorporated in the current IRS tax code? It is our own U.S. Congress….so it seems reasonable that the U.S. Congress has a job to do. As

OPINION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

MAY 24 - MAY 30, 2013

It is time to look at all corporate tax loopholes which the current practices of Apple, Inc. has exposed to public scrutiny. Just consider that if the U.S. Congress had done its job in the past, some portion of those ‘offshore billions’ would have been brought home to help fund the many programs which presently are not being implemented because of the lack of tax revenues.

The U.S. Congress must face up to the fact that it created all those exemptions and deductions over the past 50 years or so. It is time to fix the IRS income tax code by taking it one step at a time.

Just consider simplyfying the corporate tax code first because small businesses, professionals, and individuals are just tired of carrying the load while many Fortune 500 corporations end up legally paying no income taxes by following the current IRS tax code provisions. Just begin with all those tax loopholes, which American international corporations use today. But try to use a ‘business mentality’ which is interested in making profits which benefit all stockholders.

Think of all those registered voters as your current stakeholders. Just change the current tax provisions in a sequence which corrects the most egregious portions of the current tax code first.

Many will agree that that means that corporate tax provisions must be simplified first. Let’s get those profits, earned in a global market, home to help fund the many projects and programs needed by our current domestic economy. With some focused

deliberation, it is very possible to create a ‘win/win’ strategy which permits accelerating the recovery from the latest recession created during 2000 to 2008 by an administration controlled by Republicans who engaged this nation in two wars on the American credit card.

What about entitlements?

Citizens must remember that many paid into the Social SecurityAdministration program….so social security is not an entitlement. Also, consider that recent reports reveal that the Obama Administration executive actions are both reducing the national deficit as well as the cost of health care.

The other issue which the U.S. Congress has been investigaitng is the use (or is it abuse?) of community based organizations (CBO’s) under IRS Section 501-c-4. It is right and proper for IRS staff to inquire about the use of monies donated to these 501-c-4 CBO’s. These nonprofit CBO’s are allowed to address social needs, but not political issues. It is improper to ask for the resignation of the IRS chief executive who has been in that postion for only six months or so, when ‘whatever alleged improper request for donor lists and other information’ occurred 18 months before.

It is proper for an IRS employee to take the Fifth Amendment after stating that no law was broken on her watch. Keep in mind that the IRS records are confidential unless ‘leaked’.

The U.S. Congress must take care of the people’s business. On this Memorial Day, May 27, 2013 tell your Congress representative TO FIX THE CURRENT IRS TAX CODES.

El mayor sacrificio Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR

Estoy tan contenta que ya empezó un clima más cálido no sólo porque me recuerda a mi ciudad natal, sino porque eso significa cocinar al aire libre. A veces me gustaría que mi cumpleaños fuera en el verano sino que está en el medio de diciembre.

Aunque su cumpleaños podría ser una gran razón para barbacoa, mucha gente le gusta hacer esto durante los días festivos. Bueno Memorial Day, originalmente conocido como el Día de Decoración es una oportunidad perfecta para estar al aire libre disfrutando del aire fresco y recordar a aquellos que hicieron el mayor sacrificio.

Para aquellos de ustedes que son mexicanos y piensan que usted no tiene una razón importante para cele-

brar, ¿adivinen qué? Hubo un mexicano-americano que recibió condecoración militar más alta de los Estados Unidos por su valor en combate - la Medalla de Honor - por haberse distinguido en Pickett Cargo en la batalla de Gettysburg de la guerra civil americana. Fue uno de siete.

Su nombre era Joseph H. De Castro. Nació el 14 noviembre 1844 en Boston, Massachusetts. De Castro fue el portador de la bandera de su estado donde había entrado como voluntario en la infantería 19ª. Su unidad participo en la batalla de Gettysburg, en Pennsylvania.

El 3 de julio de 1863, el tercer y último día de la batalla, su unidad participó en lo que se conoció como la carga de Pickett. La carga de Pickett fue un asalto de infantería desastroso ordenada por el general confederado Robert E. Lee contra posiciones de

la Unión General de División George G. Meade en el cementerio de Ridge.

Durante la batalla, De Castro atacó a un portador de la bandera confederada del 19 Regimiento de Infantería de Virginia, con el personal de sus propios colores y se apoderó de la bandera del regimiento de oposición, entregando el premio al general Alexander S. Webb.

Después de la guerra De Castro entró en el ejército regular y sirvió durante algunos años.

Así que si es su primera vez en participar en este festejo puede volar la bandera de EE.UU. a media asta hasta el mediodía. También puede hacer una pausa y reflexionar sobre el significado del día. Se podría hacer un compromiso de ayudar a las viudas, viudos, huérfanos de los fallecidos, y ayudar a los veteranos discapacitados.

Letter to the Editor:

Corruption keeps rolling This morning I received an email blast from the Santa Clara County Democratic Party saying that Cindy Chavez has their sole endorsement because her Leadership and dedication to the values and polices Democrats support.

THEY FORGOT TERESA! Last January I had a conversation with Steve Preminger about the core and values of the Democratic Party and how his organization keeps lacking of their independence when they keep supporting the same establishment, ignoring many of those candidates who come to their interviews.

They call on Teresa Alvarado meeting with the Republican Party when they didn’t have the courage to make dual endorsement with Teresa and Cindy. I support Teresa Alvarado as a long time Democrat for generations and I do not agree with the Santa Clara County Democratic Party Leadership… Just take a look at all the Democratic values that Teresa represents!

Last, on their email blast they forgot to say how this Santa Clara County Democratic Party endorsed Mr. Shirakawa and stayed on his back all the way to the end of his corruption case. They forgot to mention how Cindy Chavez had her alliance with the past Supervisor.

a “fresh face” on our District.

Teresa Alvarado deserves my vote and the vote of those honest and ethical Democrats of D-2 , Sincerely, Aarón R. Reséndez, President, SRBA Story Road Business Assn.

Valley Verde, a nonprofit organization that empowers families by helping them plant and grow vegetables in their homes, has launched their Plant, Eat, Share Campaign, which the organization hopes will encourage citizens of Silicon Valley to plant 20,000 vegetable gardens.

On Thursday, May 16, Valley Verde held a press conference to launch the Plant, Eat, Share Campaign at the home of one family that is participating in their home garden program.

“We want to teach lowincome families how to plant their own gardens so that they eat healthy, and so that they don’t have to worry about having something to eat if they are having money issue,” said Raul Lozano, Executive Director of Valley Verde. “We

provide materials, as well as classes, during the winter and spring to those who want to learn how to plant their own gardens. We want to reach people of all backgrounds.”

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR On May 15th a ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) facility in San Jose.

The new building houses state-of-the-art equipment to facilitate guests trying to apply for naturalization and processes in between. The new building has been open since March, but was preparing for an official opening since then. Employees have been working since the “soft opening”, setting up the facility and unpacking materials from two previous locations that closed earlier in the year.

As a replacement for the older offices, this facility now houses the tools and employees to inform and assist people in becoming naturalized. Beyond the security checkpoints lie a visitor center, a large fingerprint and processing area, as well as an

application support center.

In that area any help from filling out forms to pending citizen casework and interviews take place.

One new advantage is the InfoPass, which allows anyone looking for appointments regarding their case to go to the website and apply there. It also houses a database and current information on individual’s cases and forms. Many people were discussing the advent of InfoPass and how it creates more opportunity to help people by letting them easily access and view what they need.

During the tour guides referenced the ease of being able to house all the current applicant information under one roof. The previous two centers had different services and had individuals having to go from one to the other, depending on their status and services needed.

As of now, the new facility

on Coleman Ave allows all precedents for naturalization under one roof.

At the actual ribbon cutting ceremony there were many members of the USCIS present. A video was played which showed the head of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

He welcomed the guests and thanked all the employees who helped make the move from two offices into the new one efficient, as well as for thei r efforts to immigration services and casework.

The ribbon cutting was done by 3 of the heads of the Coleman facility and their smiles shone through as they offered up their new home for citizenship to the public with a snip of large gold scissors.

The new facility is located at 1450 Coleman Avenue, Santa Clara, CA 95050. For more information please visit their site at http://infopass. uscis.gov for an appointment.

LCPA, ENSURING STUDENT SUCCESS (LCPA)

LCPA is a charter high school with oversight provided by the Eastside Union High School District; it serves approximately 400 students, grades 9 – 12, with 99.9% of the population being of Hispanic descent. LCPA’s mission is to enable underserved high school English Language Learners to become biliterate in English, Spanish, Mathematics, and Science.

These skills will ensure their ability to successfully complete requirements for a high school diploma, and pursue post-secondary edu-

cational opportunities of their choice. Something very unique about the school is our Student Success Center (SSC) also known as our college and career center, staffed by two full time counselors, Ms. Canales and Ms. Sanchez. Along with a part time Assistant: Luis Macias, and in association with the TRiO Talent Search program: Jesus Angulo.

The SSC mission is to guide students throughout high school with: Academic 4 year plans, tutoring, workshops, career exploration, extracurricular

support, the college application process, college trips and much more.

This first year project has proven successful, as it has established itself as an essential component of the schools culture. Students come on a regular basis to hang out, use the computers, ask about college, look up scholarships, or as Francisco Garcia plainly states “To work.”

As Francisco Garcia so simply and eloquently stated, “Come visit the SSC, but make sure you are ready “to get to work and “Plan for the future.”

Horace Cureton Elementary School in East San Jose gets a make over picnic tables and benches, replacing kickball walls, and painting murals and inspirational quotes throughout the school. Synopsys is well known for its community outreach efforts. The company began its community outreach by helping employees provide disaster relief after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 and established a for-

mal corporate philanthropy program before its fifth birthday. Synopsys Community Affairs embodies the company’s values by implementing worldwide philanthropic strategies that strengthen local communities, encourage employee engagement and inspire a new generation of technology leaders.

Then this talk is especially made for you!

Join us Wednesday, June 5, 2013 from 6-7PM.

In one day, approximately 400 volunteers from Synopsys, the school and the neighboring community invested an estimated 2400 volunteer hours, to paint, landscape and do repair work, to refurbish the school for the 520 kindergarten through fifthgrade students—brightening their learning environment and sending the message that the community believes in them, their potential and their value. Nonprofit organization, City Year, helped organize and manage the activity. Volunteers from San Jose Job Corps—located near

the school—also joined in the refurbishment activities.

The Cureton Elementary event was part of a community involvement program called “Global Volunteer Week” involving Synopsys’ largest locations around the world. Inaugural events were held May 11-18, 2013 in Bangalore, India; Hillsboro, Oregon; Mountain View/Sunnyvale, California; Shanghai, China; and Taipei & Hsinchu, Taiwan. Each site held large-scale, daylong volunteer activities focusing on youth. Synopsys’ vision

is to be able to host Global Volunteer Week for years to come, and grow it to include additional locations around the world.

Cureton Elementary School was selected for this project because: 100% of the students are receiving free or reduced lunch. 87% are English language learners In 2012, Cureton teacher, GriHayes-Pekins, was recognized by the Synopsys Outreach Foundation for her

significant contribution to the Cureton and Alum Rock School District science fairs.

The school is committed to the kind of efficiency that Synopsys values, leveraging outside resources, like City Year volunteers, to serve as tutors, mentors and role models for students

Volunteers as young as three years old were divided into small teams to paint, landscape and to do repair work, transforming the school in a single day.

They worked on specific projects including building

California’s unemployment Cómo evitar los costos rate decreases to 9.0 percent ocultos de los vuelos Nonfarm payroll jobs increase by 10,400 y hoteles Sacramento CALIFORNIA California’s unemployment rate decreased to 9.0 percent in April, and nonfarm payroll jobs increased by 10,400 during the month for a total gain of 756,900 jobs since the recovery began in February 2010, according to data released today by the California Employment Development Department (EDD) from two separate surveys.

The U.S. unemployment rate also decreased in April to 7.5 percent.In March, the state’s unemployment rate was 9.4 percent, and in April 2012, the unemployment rate was 10.7 percent. The unemployment rate is derived from a federal survey of 5,500 California households.

Nonfarm jobs in California totaled 14,602,200 in April, an increase of 10,400 jobs over the month, according to a survey of businesses that is larger and less variable statistically. The survey of 42,000 California businesses measures jobs in the economy.

The year-over-year change (April 2012 to April 2013) shows an increase of 273,100 jobs (up 1.9 percent).

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN CALIFORNIA

The federal survey of households, done with a smaller sample than the survey of employers, shows an increase in the number of employed people. It estimates the number of Californians holding jobs in April was 16,951,000, an increase of 71,000 from March 2013, and up 443,000 from the employment total in April of last year. The number of people unemployed in California was 1,673,000 – down by 76,000 over the month, and down by 303,000 compared with April of last year.

PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT DETAIL (SEASONALLY ADJUSTED)

EDD’s report on payroll employment (wage and salary jobs) in the nonfarm industries of California totaled 14,602,200 in April, a net gain of 10,400 jobs since the March survey. This followed a gain of 25,200 jobs (as revised) in March.

Seven categories (construction; manufacturing; trade, transportation and utilities; financial activities; educational and health services; leisure and hospitality; and other services) added jobs over the month, gaining 23,300 jobs. Construction posted the largest increase over the month, adding 7,400 jobs.

Three categories (information; professional and business services; and government) reported job declines over the month, down 12,900 jobs. Professional and business services posted the largest decrease over the month, down 6,000 jobs. One category, mining and logging, was unchanged over the month.

In a year-over-year comparison (April 2012 to April 2013), nonfarm payroll employment in California increased by 273,100 jobs (up 1.9 percent).

Eight categories (construction; trade, transportation

and utilities; information; financial activities; professional and business services; educational and health services; leisure and hospitality; and other services) posted job gains over the year, adding 287,500 jobs. Professional and business services posted the largest gains on a numerical basis, adding 71,500 jobs (up 3.2 percent). Construction posted the largest gains on a percentage basis, up 7.7 percent (adding 44,800 jobs).

Three categories (mining and logging; manufacturing; and government) posted job declines over the year, down 14,400 jobs. Manufacturing posted the largest declines on a numerical basis, down by 10,500 jobs (a 0.8 percent decrease). Mining and logging posted the largest declines on a percentage basis, decreasing by 1.7 percent (down 500 jobs).

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS (NOT SEASONALLY ADJUSTED)

In related data, the EDD reported that there were 497,274 people receiving regular unemployment insurance benefits during the April survey week. This compares with 532,831 last month and 552,163 last year. At the same time, new claims for unemployment insurance were 50,977 in April 2013, compared with 58,842 in March and 63,212 in April of last year.

Los últimos años han sido económicamente duros para mucha gente. El temor al desempleo, junto con la caída del valor de los inmuebles, las acciones y las cuentas de retiro, han impedido a muchos tomarse vacaciones –a pesar de que en los momentos estresantes es cuando más necesitamos recargar las baterías.

Pero, ahora que la economía está mejorando, muchas familias están volviendo lentamente a planificar viajes. El índice de ocupación hotelero aumentó en muchas áreas y los aeropuertos se están volviendo a poblar de pasajeros.

Se sabe que las aerolíneas y los hoteles suelen cobrar cargos adicionales en sus facturas. Estos son algunos costos a los que debemos estar atentos: Unas pocas aerolíneas permiten despachar una valija sin costo por pasajero (Southwest sigue permitiendo dos), pero la mayoría cobra hasta US $S25 por la primera valija despachada a cada destino e incluso más por las valijas adicionales.

Además, ahora la mayoría cobran tarifas altísimas por exceso de peso o tamaño del equipaje y por el equipaje de mano, por lo que se debe medir y pesar el equipaje cuidadosamente.

Seguramente deberá pagar extra si desea cambiar un vuelo, tener un asiento con más espacio para las piernas, tener prioridad de embarque, enviar menores no acompañados, enviar mascotas, te-

ner acceso Wi-Fi y comida.

Algunas aerolíneas incluso cobran cargos extra por hablar con alguien en persona o por comprar su pasaje en el mostrador del aeropuerto o por teléfono.

Airfarewatchdog.com, Travelnerd.com y Kayak ofrecen muy buenos cuadros comparativos de tarifas y costos de las diferentes aerolíneas, pero antes de reservar su vuelo, verifique siempre los términos y condiciones de la aerolínea.

Algunos hoteles cobran extra si ingresa antes de un cierto horario. Pregunte si pueden guardar su equipaje sin costo hasta su ingreso para poder comenzar a recorrer la ciudad sin tener que llevarlo.

Muchos hoteles cobran una penalidad altísima si no cancela una reserva con 24-72 horas de anticipación, y algunos cobran también un cargo por dejar la habitación antes, que a veces es el equivalente a una noche de alojamiento.

Lea la política de cancelaciones del hotel antes de hacer las reservas, especialmente si está buscando una tarifa con descuento y no reembolsable.

Los minibares suelen tener sensores electrónicos que imputan un cargo simplemente por mover sus contenidos.

Además, cerciórese de que el agua o los snacks que le dejen en la cómoda de la habitación sean de cortesía antes de consumirlos.

El estacionamiento del hotel en las principales ciudades puede costar hasta U$S50 diarios, y muchos tienen valet parking obligatorio, lo que implica agregar una propina.

Busque si hay alguna playa de estacionamiento municipal en los alrededores, o consulte en la oficina de turismo de la ciudad si hay hoteles que ofrezcan promociones de estacionamiento. A veces,

es más conveniente usar el transporte público y el taxi que pagar el estacionamiento.

Algunos hoteles y complejos vacacionales agregan automáticamente a su cuenta las propinas del servicio de limpieza y spa, por lo que convendrá que averigüe antes de dejarles propina –a menos que, obviamente, el servicio haya sido extraordinario.

La mayoría de los hoteles cobrar sumas exorbitantes por las llamadas locales y de larga distancia realizadas desde los teléfonos de las habitaciones, por lo que es preferible usar el teléfono celular.

Los complejos vacacionales suelen cobrar extra por los servicios que ofrecen –como el acceso al gimnasio o la entrega diaria del periódico –aun cuando no los use.

Lea la política antes y revise su factura para ver si le están cobrando servicios no utilizados.

Pida ver su factura la noche anterior a dejar el hotel para poder revisarla detenidamente y ver si hay algún sobrecargo.

Si viaja al exterior, sepa que el uso del teléfono celular puede ser muy costoso.

Consulte el plan de llamadas internacionales de su proveedor y averigüe si su teléfono es compatible con las redes extranjeras. Tal vez deba alquilar un teléfono celular internacional, o comprar o alquilar un teléfono liberado y una tarjeta SIM internacional.

Si su presupuesto se lo permite y está teniendo ganas de hacer un viaje, tal vez sea hora de aventurarse al mundo nuevamente. Solo cuídese de los gastos ocultos, que pueden ser muchos.

MEMORIAL DAY, MONDAY, MAY 27, 2013 Memorial Day will be observed on Monday, May 27, 2013 as a national holiday which unofficially marks the beginning of the annual summer season. In remembrance of American war dead, many organizations and family members visit National Çemetaries to decorate the burial sites in keeping with its former name: Decoration Day. It is also a day for family gatherings and parades which honor the veterans.

Memorial Day originated in the years following the Civil War (1865) and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Since1865, America has been involved in the following wars: Spanish-American War (1898-1901); World War 1 (1914-1919), World War II (1941-1946), Korean Conflict (June 30, 1950 to July 27, 1953); Vietnam War (May 13, 1961 to April 29, 1975); Operation Desert Storm (Kuwait, August 2, 1990 to February

28, 1991); Terrorist Attack New York, September 11, 2001 which led to Afghanistan War (2001 to still going on) and Invasion of Iraq by U. S. Forces (2003 to 2011).

This Memorial Day, May 27, 2013 is a day when all Americans, especially those who pay their federal taxes, must recall that the George W. Bush Administration and its Republican controlled U.S. Congress invaded Iraq without responsibly making arrangements to pay for this war effort. The result is that $1 trillion was spent during the Iraqi War. President Obama is to be commended for ‘ending that war’ and finally drawing down the U.S. Taxpayor’s responsibilities for Iraqi War expenditures. Here is a summary (data available online by googling ‘Iraqi War’):

A) Spent & Approved WarSpending - About $1 trillion of US taxpayers’ funds spent

or approved for spending through 2011. Cost of deploying one U.S. soldier for one year in Iraq - $390,000.

B) Lost & Unaccounted for in Iraq - $9 billion of US taxpayers’ money and $549.7 milion in spare parts shipped in 2004 to US cpmtractprs.

Some 190,000 guns, including 110,000 AK-47 rifles were lost.

C) Lost and Reported Stolen - $6.6 billion of U.S. taxpayers’ money earmarked for Iraq reconstruction, reported on June 14, 2011 by Special Inspector General for Iraq reconstruction, Stuart Bowen,who called it “the largest theft of funds in national history.”

(Source - CBS News) Last known holder of the $6.6 billion lost: the U.S. government.

D) Missing - $1 billion in tractor trailers, tank recovery vehicles, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and

other equipment provided to the Iraqi security forces. (Per CBS News on Dec 6, 2007.)

E) Mismanaged & Wasted in Iraq - $10 billion, per Feb 2007 Congressional hearings F) KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary was paid $20 billion ($3.2 billion is questioned by auditors); Halliburton Overcharges, Classified by the Pentagon as Unreasonable and Unsupported - $1.4 billion; all reportedly used to supply U.S. military in Iraq with food, fuel, housing and other items.

G) U.S. Annual Air-Conditioning Cost in Iraq and Afghanistan - $20.2 billion (Source - NPR, June 25, 2011) H) U.S. Monthly Spending in Iraq - $7.3 billion as of Oct 2009 down from U.S. 2008 Spending in Iraq of $12 billion monthly when Obama Administration assumed office in White House.

I) The Veteran’s Administration Backlog in Claims processing: Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Eric Shinseki, is being held accountable for “the backlog” of claims by veterans. There is a huge and still growing inventory of claims for disability compensation filed by wounded or ill veterans. Recently, just under 600,000 claims qualified as backlogged, meaning they had been pending for over 125 days; total claims pending exceed 900,000.

A new nonprofit organization, Concerned Veterans for America sponsored an online petition, which has been signed by more than 9,000 people. Representative Duncan Hunter, a California Republican and Marine Corps veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, has joined the resignation call.

organization representing this new generation of veterans, has also made the backlog the focus of aggressive lobbying, but this group is not calling for Mr. Shinseki’s resignation.

An important and salient factor is that the Republican controlled House of Representatives has not been willing to allocate funds needed to permit the Veteran’s Administration to ramp up its efforts!

IN ADDITIION TO COMMEMORATING OUR WAR DEAD, LET’S HOLD THE U.S. CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE THIS MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 27, 2013 FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR RETURNING VETERANS. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ON A “WAITING” LIST!

Nueva línea de comida de bebé latina La Iniciativa Mediática También Celebra los Auténticos Sabores Tradicionales de Beech-Nut/Goya con Sus Ingredientes Nutritivos y Naturales

MAY 24 - MAY 30, 2013

How to tell When A Marriage Needs Professional Help

de 2 y 4 años. Según ella, preparar la comida de bebe en casa era más factible en otra época, cuando la mayoría de las mamás no tenían que trabajar fuera del hogar, pero que afortunadamente hoy día existe una alternativa saludable.

Amsterdam NY La galardonada periodista puertorriqueña Bárbara Bermudo y la recién lanzada marca de comida de bebé latina, Beech-Nut/Goya, anunciaron hoy una campaña nacional mediática dirigida a ayudar a las nuevas y futuras mamás latinas a alimentar bien a sus bebés desde el momento que empiezan a ingerir comida sólida. Bermudo es la copresentadora del popular programa de noticias de la cadena Univision, “Primer Impacto”. Beech-Nut/Goya es una línea de marca conjunta de alimentos latinos para bebé lanzada el mes pasado por las compañías Beech-Nut Nutrition y Goya Foods.

“Como mamá latina, sé perfectamente que los niños no llegan al mundo con un folleto de instrucciones, y que es importante ofrecer y reci-

bir orientación acerca de un tema tan importante como este”, dijo Bárbara. “Según la Academia Norteamericana de Pediatría los niños deben comenzar a ingerir comidas sólidas a partir de los 4 a 6 meses”. Añadió que la línea Beech-Nut/Goya brinda productos nuevos pero tradicionales que facilitan las primeras etapas de alimentación sólida para los bebés hispanos.

Bermudo también descartó el mito de que sólo la comida casera es la apropiada para los bebés. “Lo importante es alimentar a tu bebé sólo con la comida mejor y más nutritiva, que contenga ingredientes naturales, puros y de alta calidad, con vitaminas y minerales esenciales: una comida nutritiva de sabor agradable y suave textura que que nos permita preservar nuestra herencia hispana,” dijo esta madre de dos niñas

“Beech-Nut Goya combina sabores auténticos y tradicionales con ingredientes nutritivos y naturales que ofrecen a mamá prácticas comidas para bebé lo más parecidas posibles a las hechas en casa, y que no contienen conservantes”, indicó. “Además, las comidas vienen en 22 sabores, como mango y guayaba, que permiten contar con una variedad de frutas, vegetales, proteínas y granos, a la vez que nos da la oportunidad de criar a nuestros hijos con los mismos alimentos con el cual crecimos nosotros.”

“Estoy orgullosa de estar trabajando con Beech-Nut/ Goya en esta campaña tan importante para nuestra comunidad”, continuó. “La creación de esta línea BeechNut/Goya es la unión perfecta que une el deseo de mamá de que su bebé se críe comiendo comidas tradicionales y nutritivas con su necesidad de una alimentación práctica en el atareado mundo de hoy”.

La campaña dio inicio la semana pasada con una gira mediática satelital por las principales comunidades hispanas del país. Se espera que su mensaje llegue a millones de hogares latinos a lo largo y ancho de la nación.

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION

and to plan for handling those problems if they occur.

Everyone who walks down the aisle expects the relationship will last forever, but as the grim divorce statistics tell us, this isn’t always the case. No matter how compatible or in love two people are, every marriage faces times when problems arise.

Many marriages, however, will encounter situations that can’t be easily resolved in a manner where both partners feel they are being treated fairly and getting exactly what each wants. When this occurs, it doesn’t mean that the people involved are selfish, self-centered or bad people, nor that the marriage should end. But it is a time when outside counseling can offer help before the situation deteriorates too badly for the marriage to be saved.

Some problems might be simple differences of opinion, while others may be much more serious disagreements over money, children, relatives or a thousand other issues of daily life. But the specifics aren’t as important as how ready and willing couples are to deal with and overcome these problems.

Pre-marriage counseling is one way to prepare for potential problems. Such counseling can help a couple better understand each other’s feelings and thoughts, and offers opportunities to explore areas of potential problems

One common sign help is needed is when one partner feels he or she is giving more than he or she is receiving over a long period of time. Or it can be persistent and severe disagreements, with an unwillingness or inability to resolve these arguments.

Professional counselors specializing in family and marriage counseling are

trained to help couples facing such problems. They can teach a couple how to disagree without being disagreeable, or help them learn to level the playing field so that one of the partners doesn’t feel he or she is always losing. Your local phone book or mental health center can help you locate a marriage counselor.

No counseling is going to save every marriage. But for a couple who truly care for each other and wish to stay together, professional counseling can help partners sort-out those long-standing disagreements and discover ways to cope with problems in a healthy way.

Seeking help for a marriage is not a sign of weakness, nor a signal that a marriage is going to end. Instead, in many cases it is the beginning of building a strong, healthy and long-lasting relationship.

Los veteranos militares pueden enfrentar muchos obstáculos. La transición de la vida militar a la civil puede ser un ajuste retador, pero se percibe diferente para cada persona.

MAY 24 - MAY 30, 2013 algo le faltaba en su vida, y después de un semestre no muy satisfactorio en la universidad municipal, recibió una llamada inesperada de un reclutador del ejército. Sí, él cambió de opinión. En 2001, Tony obtuvo un trabajo como operador de sistemas de lanzamiento de cohetes múltiples del ejército. Su objetivo principal: Ayuda para su colegiatura para obtener una educación de calidad y adquirir las habilidades que él necesitaba como trampolín para su carrera.

Desde sacrificio hasta honor y concentración, Tony aprendió más de lo que jamás pudo haber anticipado, durante su

¡Estado de Ca-ching!

carrera militar. Él creció rápidamente. Después de salir de las filas de la milicia en 2004, Tony rápidamente se dio cuenta que ajustarse a la vida civil sería mucho más difícil de lo que había previsto. Estaba constantemente en alto grado de alerta y le fue difícil socializar. Afortunadamente, una red familiar robusta y un ambiente estable hicieron que la transición fuera un poco más fácil.

De acuerdo al departamento del trabajo, los veteranos hispanos son más prevalecientes ahora que lo que fueron en guerras anteriores.

En el año 2010, los hispanos

representaban un 11,1 por ciento de todos los veteranos de la era de la Guerra del Golfo II, comparados con sólo 3,9 por ciento de los veteranos que sirvieron durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Guerra de Corea, y la era de Vietnam, respectivamente1. “Sí, todos los veteranos necesitan apoyo y asistencia mientras se reintegran a la sociedad de los EE.U.U.A., pero aún más los veteranos hispanos necesitan alguien que abogue por ellos. Estos veteranos saldrán de prestar su servicio buscando empleo,” dijo Tony.

Afortunadamente, Tony ha estado trabajando como un Especialista senior - ingeniero

de planeación de redes para AT&T desde septiembre del 2012. Tony es una historia de éxito. Obtuvo su licenciatura en administración pública y una maestría en ciencias de la información.

Cuando se le preguntó qué consejo daría a los veteranos jóvenes que salen del ejército buscando un trabajo, él afirmó, “No subestimen la importancia de establecer contactos.

Ser ‘sociables’ no es algo fácil para personas como nosotros.

Salgan detrás del escritorio y desarrollen relaciones con los demás. Mientras más pronto rompas las barreras y expandas tu red de contactos,

11

las oportunidades te encontrarán”.

El 27 de mayo es el día oficial para recordar a los veteranos que han sacrificado sus vidas en la línea sirviendo a su país, pero debemos recordarlos y apoyarlos durante todo el año. Tony es uno de esos ejemplos inspiradores y puede ser reconocido como una fuente de motivación y optimismo.

MACLA Awarded $750,000 ArtPlace America Grant to fund a new cultural model toward community building San Jose CALIFORNIA Imagine a place where artists can create new work, youth can record music they’ve written, and community members can learn how to dance the tango all in one building. That’s what MACLA -- Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana -- dreams of doing at the southern end of Downtown San Jose. And today, thanks to a $750,000 grant from ArtPlace America, that vision is on its way to becoming a reality.

It’s the largest of the grants awarded nationwide and a critical step to completing the purchase of the facility. The MACLA project was chosen from over 1,200 applications as an exceptional example of creative placemaking.

ArtPlace America is a collaboration of leading national and regional foundations, banks and federal agencies committed to accelerating creative placemaking – putting art at the heart of a port-

With this round of grants, in total, ArtPlace America has awarded a total of $42.1 million in 134 grants to 124 projects in 90 communities across the U.S. (and a statewide project in the state of Connecticut).

With the support, MACLA

Specifically, the funding will allow MACLA to complete the purchase of an expanded urban arts space for the community and enhance its pro-

Maurice Sendak: 50 Years, 50 Works, 50 Reasons May 23 to July 7, 2013 The Walt Disney Family Museum presents the special exhibition featuring 50 works by the legendary author and illustrator, accompanied by 50 statements from celebrities, authors, and noted personalities on the influence of Sendak’s work, all in celebration the 50th anniversary of his universally revered book, Where the Wild Things Are. The exhibition includes 50 original works from Where the Wild Things Are in a variety of mediums including sketches, illustrations, and works on paper, and showcases highlights from Sendak’s career and the diverse art forms in which he was renowned. Many of the works are from private collections and friends of the artist, offering a survey of his range as an artist and author. It is widely known that Sendak decided to become an illustrator at the young age of 12 after watching Disney’s film Fantasia (1940). He also amassed a collection of Mickey Mouse and other Disney memorabilia throughout his lifetime.

From children’s literature, animated films, and textbooks to Broadway and opera, Sendak garnered worldwide acclaim for his genius and insight. Among the contributing commentators to the exhibition are playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner, comedian Stephan Colbert, artist Robert Crumb, director Spike Jonze, President Barack Obama, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, actor/director Tom Hanks, and author Lemony Snicket.

“I want to congratulate MACLA for receiving this prestigious national grant,” said San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed.

“For years, MACLA has been an anchor and inspiration in San Jose’s South First Street arts district. Now, thanks to this generous investment from ArtPlace America, our community will have the opportunity to engage with the arts in new and exciting ways.”

“MACLA will be a complete game changer for both the San Jose arts crowd and the larger community,” said Dennis Scholl, vice president/arts for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. “The program design is unique and deliberately responsive to the needs of local artists, allowing them a part in reshaping the culture of their community through direct collaboration with residents.”

The Miami-based Knight Foundation, which believes in the power of the arts to engage communities, has been a founding funder of ArtPlace.

“ArtPlace America recognizes the central role arts and cultural activities can have in the revitalization of American cities,” said Rip Rapson, chair of ArtPlace America’s Presidents’ Council. “With this grant award ArtPlace America is directing individual project support to scores of creative, high-impact projects throughout the country.

It is also continuing to break new ground in drawing together some of the nation’s leading foundations to think,

(NAPS) Before you head out to shop this season’s trends, perhaps it’s worth considering how fashion makes you feel and what different fashion pieces can say about you. Sometimes, fashion speaks louder than words.

A new study from T.J.Maxx in partnership with Dr. Hazel Clark, Research Chair of Fashion at Parsons the New School for Design, reveals that fashion plays an important role in allowing women to express their personality (77 percent), individuality (74 percent) and mood (67 percent), while 77 percent of women said they want more options to express themselves.“Fashion can speak volumes, which is why I spend time getting to know my clients, so that I can select pieces that truly reflect their individuality and give them that added confidence on the red carpet,” said Fashion Stylist

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR We’ve all seen those commercials, the ones about certain stores offering high-end designer clothes at a really low price with a really cheesy tagline at the end. Well, being the shopaholic that I am, I have checked out some of these stores and let me tell you, the products they have at the prices they offer are just, plain wrong. Nobody fools JC because I know a good buy when I see it, and frankly, you can get a lot more bang for your buck shopping at plenty other places.

The secret to finding the perfect deal is having patience and knowing where to look.

Plenty of times I have seen some of my favorite items-those I like so much that I’m willing to pay full price because I’m afraid they’ll run out of--go on sale, and I mean a really low price sale, that I regret having paid full price.

So I’ve learned, PATIENCE IS ESSENTIAL.

If you really like that pair of jeans or those cute shoes, then wait for a while until they go on sale. Don’t worry about the retailer running out of them.

A lot of the times they have a warehouse full of these items, that getting rid of them is literally impossible. How else do you think stores like Ross, Marshalls and TJ Max get all their merchandise? So be patient and wait until you know you’re getting a good deal.

of it. In the long run it’ll save you money and will keep you looking at your best. You’ll become a trendsetter because you’ll know what really looks good without having to copy anybody. So by all means EXPLORE all trends and styles and find out what looks good on you and complements your shape. Developing your own style will allow you to express your style in a more confident way.

Styles go in and out of fashion quite often, and there are only a few of them that stick around for a while with minor alterations or changes, so DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Pay close attention to magazines, commercials, tv shows and really assess what is trending.

Did you see the skirt Kim K was wearing? Well, perhaps she’s not the best example but who can blame the Kardashians for putting out good, stylish clothes, even if sometimes they don’t succeed at styling themselves.

RECYCLE, always recycle, but I do mean fashion. Trends come and go but real fashion comes back around. It has never hurt anyone to wear previously-worn clothes, so why spend some of your hard-earned money on something you can get out of your grandma’s closet? The Goodwill also has some great items you can sport, and will look just like what you can get at any high-end shops without the price tag. You never know what great deal you may find until you actually try, and when you do, you too will be saying “helloooo, good buy!”

Predicting styles that will stick around is really not that hard once you get the hang

Leslie Fremar, whose client list includes Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore.

Interestingly, 87 percent of women said they are not controlled by fashion but that they control fashion, nor are they confined by trends or style profiles. In fact, more than half of women (55 percent) are interpreting trends to make them their own. Depending on where they’re going, whom they’re seeing and what they want to portray to others, they turn to different fashion staples. For example, when women want to express self-confidence, they wear high heels (23 percent) or

jeans (23 percent). They show their sexy side with a pair of trendy heels (24 percent) or a well-fitted dress (20 percent).

To feel in control, they throw on a power blazer (23 percent) or a pair of jeans (23 percent).

Ultimately, personal style is just that—it’s personal, with 88 percent of women agreeing that they dress for themselves, not for others, and only a quarter of women saying they dress to “fit in.” One thing that remains constant—women prioritize purchasing high-quality items (38 percent) at a great price (45 percent) when building their personal style palette.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com few of the bands that played on the Festival Stage. These are all great bands in their own right, but the band that We were mostly excited to see Jimmy Eat World, who in our opinion should have been on the main stage going on somewhere in the middle of the Main Stage’s set list.

The band played some new songs of their eighth album Damage, as well as some of their classic songs, which really got the crowd involved in their performance. The concert also featured a local stage with acts like Tumbleweed Wanders, Picture Atlantic, and Anya and the Get Down.

Osvaldo Castillo & Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Live 105 held its annual summer concert, BFD, this past Sunday at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, and there were several mainstream and local bands

performing through out the venue.

Some of these performers included 30 Seconds to Mars, Silversun Pickups and Of Monsters and Men on the Main Stage. “We just recorded and released a new album,” said Jared Leto,

lead singer for 30 Seconds to Mars during his interview with Live 105. “It’s always great to be back in the Bay Area playing in front of these great fans,” Fitz and the Tantrums, Capital Cities and the Airborne Toxic Event were a

There was also the Subsonic Stage, which feature Electronic Dance Music acts such as Diplo, DJ Shadow, and The Limousines. The acts playing the Subsonic Tent drew in a whole different crowd compared to the main and side stages. The electronic synths and heavy bass dominated a festive, light fueled crowd that reminisced last years all electronic dance music (EDM) events at Shoreline, I Love the City

MAY 24 - MAY 30, 2013 and Identity Festival. Both of these events were sold out and a massive hit for the younger dancing crowd.

Diplo took the Subsonic Stage at the same time as Main Stage Headliners 30 Seconds to Mars, and was able to hold his own as far as crowd attendance and participation goes. Most of the performers were entertaining. Some had band members jumping off the stage and crowd surfing with there fans.

“I must admit that I am not a big fan of Electronic Dance Music, but I have to admit that I found Subsonic Stage to be somewhat entertaining”, noted Castillo.

There was also a special performance by Stone Temple Pilots featuring Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington.

Some of the older members of the audience did not like this new collaboration while others sang along to every song word by word. Some of the younger fans did not seem to know who Stone Temple Pilots were (as their

popularity lessened in the 2000’s before their hiatus and eventual return in 2008) and were probably just there to see Bennington. His fame as the front man for Linkin Park has had a lasting effect since their first album Hybrid Theory released in 2000. That band has a grittier electronic rock feel to it compared to the more classical alternative rock.

The band performed several Stone Temple Pilots classics including ‘Interstate Love Song’ and ‘Big Empty’ and Bennington hit every note perfectly.

BFD has had several big names perform on its main stage in the past including the Foo Fighters, Social Distortion and The Strokes.

However, this performance

by Stone Temple Pilots and Chester Bennington has got to be in the top five BFD performances. The crowd seemed to show it as this new fusion of STP energized the crowd at the Shoreline Amphitheater on a cool spring night.

Usos místicos de los cristales

Llego Carla Morrison a San francisco Rocky Rivas ESPECIAL PARA EL OBSERVADOR

Mario Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Los cristales conforman la más hermosa y simétrica representación del mundo mineral. Se han formado a través de miles de años y de cambios geológicos en el subsuelo terrestre. Los cristales poseen una infinidad de aplicaciones para la existencia mística y espiritual del ser humano, por lo que recomiendo al menos tener uno.

Los cristales son transmisores y receptores de energía. Utilizándolos correctamente podemos convertirlos en nuestra fuente de energía pura. Los cristales son usados en la fabricación de instrumentos tecnológicos, radios, computadoras, telescopios, etc.

En el mundo místico espiritual tienen un valor incalculable porque podemos transformarlos en una especie de computadora, pues podemos dirigirnos a ellos enfocando nuestras ideas, memorias y conceptos en los destellos luminosos de luz y energía que ellos emanan. A través de esa luz, nuestra energía puede ser recargada o almacenada por medio de la comunicación telepática entre un cristal y nuestra mente.

Los cristales son minerales que tienen la potestad de comunicarse. Observémoslos, están llenos de vida por ello

mantienen esa firmeza estructural y ese brillo inimitable.

Cuando decida obtener un cristal, vaya a la tienda, obsérvelo, tóquelo, sienta su energía y será el cristal que le corresponda en este plano de vida quien le atraerá como a un imán.

En recientes estudios científicos, se ha comprobado que la energía rutilante de un cristal es capaz de prevenir, aliviar y hasta curar padecimientos físicos, mentales, emocionales y espirituales. Si siente un dolor, una pena o un sentimiento que le perturbe, tome un cristal fuertemente con las dos manos y expóngalo a la luz solar o a la luz de la luna llena, y permita que la energía penetre todo su ser.

Los cristales, las piedras preciosas y semi preciosas, los metales y los espejos se pueden convertir en nuestros mejores proveedores de energía cósmica.

Cómo limpiar un Cristal Si observa que un cristal se muestra sucio, opaco o con falta de destello, debe limpiarlo a la mayor brevedad posible. Existen varias alternativas para hacerlo: con agua de mar, con agua de río, con agua de lago o haciendo una preparación casera.

Se necesita: Agua mineral, una cantidad mínima de sal y una pizca ínfima de bicarbonato. Se mezclan los ingredientes en un recipiente metálico, se voltea el cristal y se deja reposando en la mezcla durante una noche de luna llena.

Posteriormente se expone a los rayos del sol por un par de horas para que se cargue nuevamente de energía sideral.

Para eliminar sentimientos adversos debe enfocarse en un cristal de cuarzo rutilado, tómelo fuertemente con ambas manos y visualice la parte interna del cristal. Al llegar a ese punto, envíe por medio de mensajes telepáticos, todos los sentimientos, emociones y pensamientos que le perturben y mediante una visualización creativa, deposítelos en el interior del cristal como si se tratase de una caja fuerte. Ahora cierre la caja fuerte con una clave imaginaria de la cual usted se olvidará cuando concluya el ejercicio.

Para atraer salud, amor, dinero y paz, se aconseja tener en casa un cristal de cuarzo, un cuarzo rosa, una amatista, una citrina y un cristal verde(también puede tratarse de una pieza de jade.)

Coloque todos los cristales en un sitio adonde se refleje la luz solar. Debe observarlos y acariciarlos con frecuencia. Se recomienda que los cristales personales sean manipulados o acariciados únicamente por su dueño.

La cantante, originaria de Tecate, Baja California, nos demostró que ya se encuentra entre las grandes, y una prueba de ello es su reciente presentación en el Fillmore en la ciudad de San Francisco con un lleno total en su primera presentación en el norte de California. Cientos de sus fans se dieron cita el pasado lunes 20 de Mayo armando grandes filas desde horas antes de la presentación a la que también varios de ellos no lograron conseguir boleto para disfrutar de este concierto.

“Gracias San Francisco, por fin se me hizo tocar aqui”, reiteró Morrison con una gran alegría y un poco de

nerviosismo, después de haber iniciado su presentación al mostrarnos su habilidad para tocar el tambor con lo que comenzó el desfile de sus canciones que pusieron a suspirar a todo el concurrente.

Temas como “Tu Orgullo”, “Una Salida” y “Pan Dulce” fueron parte del repertorio de la cantante en donde nos demostró que no solo canta, sino que también tiene el don de poder tocar varios tipos de instrumentos musicales, como el pandero, un tambor y la guitarra.

Además de mandar un mensaje de tolerancia, al decir que respetemos a los homosexuales, ya basta de crímenes de odio! todos somos iguales y por igual merecen respeto, ya dejémonos chin…. Que al fin y alcabo en el corazón no se

manda. Ya dicho el mensaje, termino adornándolo con la canción de Eres Tú”.

No cabe duda que había mucha gente que esperaba ver a la doble ganadora del premio Grammy desde hace mucho tiempo atrás. Y al igual nos encontramos con publico anglo al que la Morrison agradeció su presencia y dedico su canción debut en ingles que se llama “The Truth.”

El público se conectó al show, respondió bien y se mostró respetuoso. Sin embargo muchos de sus fans se quedaron sin poder disfrutar de esta presentación. Pero no se preocupen. Ya que prometió regresar pronto; y por ahí se rumora que será entre el mes de Julio o Agosto de este año en curso.

Kat Dahlia recibe nominación a Premios Juventud Los Angeles CA LIFORNIA Kat Dahlia arrancó el 2013 con gran ímpetu y con todas las herramientas necesarias para convertirse en el fenómeno musical del año. Recientemente, la revista Billboard la incluyo en la lista de los 5 artistas que hay que tener en ‘la mira’ este año. A tan solo meses del lanzamiento de su primer sencillo, esta joven artista se embarcó en un viaje promocional que la ha llevado a New York, Miami, Los Ángeles, Boston, Londres, Ámster-

dam, Chicago, Washington y otras ciudades donde ha visitado los principales medios de comunicación y ha participado en varios festivales de radio y presentaciones privadas.

El pasado 9 de mayo, Kat Dahlia fue nominada a Premios Juventud en la categoría ‘Revelación del Año’ y actualmente, su éxito “Gangsta” ocupa el Top 40 del Urban Chart de la revista Billboard y el Top 25 del Rhythm Chart en la misma publicación. El video musical de “Gangsta” es uno de los videos de mayor rota-

ción en los principales canales de videos y su presencia en la redes sociales aumenta a pasos agigantados.

Kat Dahlia, cantante y compositora cubanoamericana de 22 años se está convirtiendo en una de las estrellas del Latin Pop más prometedoras del momento con su electrizante fusión de Pop, hip hop, reggae y música latina. Narradora innata, Kat sabe alternar hábilmente entre letras plagadas de pasión y poesías que reflexionan sobre el desamor y las relaciones.

Disfruta Sambueza

(NOTIMEX) El argentino Rubens Sambueza dijo hoy que no le pesa ser el generador del juego ofensivo de América, el que dé los pases de gol para Raúl Jiménez y el ecuatoriano Christian Benítez o marcar anotación ante Cruz Azul.

Este jueves visita Aguilas a Cruz Azul en el encuentro de ida por el campeonato del Torneo Clausura 2013 de la Liga MX. “No me pesa porque me trajeron para eso, para abastecer a los delanteros, el poder armar jugadas de peligro de gol y ojalá mañana y el domingo no sea la excepción y pueda

dar pase de gol o hacer gol”, declaró el “pampero”.

Destacó de Cruz Azul “la entrega, si lo dejamos manejar el balón es un equipo que te va cansando y si tiene espacios lo manejan los volantes. Trataré de moverme y crear situaciones de gol para Chucho y Raúl”.

Dijo que esta final “representa una emoción muy grande.

Es un partido que te puede dejar marcado si se gana el título. Ahora a cumplir el objetivo de levantar la copa, a ver si puedo ganar en mi segunda final”.

A su vez, el paraguayo Osvaldo Martínez advirtió que

“no hay que subestimar al rival”, pero resaltó lo realizado por los azulcremas, al decir que “nosotros estamos haciendo muy bien las cosas, creo que todo el torneo y la liguilla se hizo lo que se tenía que hacer, se jugó todos los partidos como una final y lo más importante es seguir con esa idea y el día de mañana entrar con todo y sacar una ventaja”.

El centrocampista Juan Carlos Valenzuela coincidió en que “no va a ser fácil” ganar el trofeo, pero dijo que después del encuentro del domingo se visualiza así: “Pudiendo disfrutar con mi familia, estar abrazándola y dándole gracias por todo su apoyo”.
