House Judiciary Committee to begin debates on Immigration bills.This week a few bills dealing with immigration and its impact on the country will be debated by the House Judiciary Committee. These debates will tackle the approach of using one comprehensive bill that would include a roadmap to gaining citizenship. Some of the bills deal with more negative approaches that focus on locating, detaining, and encouraging the report of undocumented individuals. The house will begin deciphering the complex issue of immigration on Tuesday and should have many points discussed by the end of the week.

No nos aprovechemos WHAT’S A ‘LIVING WAGE’?

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

A level of trust, honesty, and integrity is a requisite to make any system of agreements work to the mutual advantage of all residents who desire to have a ‘living wage’. The term ‘living wage’ must be defined as a level of income which permits a responsible individual to pay for the needs of himself/herself and family or relationship responsibilities. This means being able to pay for food & water, clothing, shelter, utilities, transportation, education (job training), health care, grooming and some entertainment/sports participation. A personal pursuit beyond this level must be the outcome of the individual’s motivation, ambition, intellectual capacity, creativity and innovation.

So, the recent San Jose City Ordinance, which establishes $10 per hour, as the new ‘minimum wage’ may be a step towards the ‘living wage’ level most will need. The reality is that most do not earn a ‘living wage’ at this time.

Reaching a resolution requires a very good database, coupled with communication, which is able to inform all stakeholders that solutions are being developed and tested. As a society having certain ethical and moral standards, all must have the faith that ‘things will work out.’ Paranoiac distrust is very costly and paralyzing.

The present capitalistic competitive approach results in too many becoming ‘disadvantaged’ enough to require some social safety net, administered by non-profit

community based organizations monitored by local and federal government entities.

Why is this so? Well, historic economic data reveals that the real income of the middle class has not increased at all since 1975 in terms of purchasing power. Why deal with ‘purchasing power’?

Because if we are to have economic stability, then the prices, including profit margins, need to be stable and reliable.

An example is the need to be able to forecast one’s pension income after retirement. Stable ‘costs’ would make projections a lot simpler for the actuarial calculations, which must be performed and tested, to determine the level of savings needed today to fund the desired retirement in the future.

Too many do not take into account the purchasing power of today’s dollar, the accepted unit of monetary exchange. Now, ordinary working class individuals try to make a living with their time and talent in order to earn ‘treasure’ (wages; money). Recently the City Council wage ordinance spoke to that.

The $8.25 per hour wage level had not been adjusted for several years even though each year the U.S. Treasury calculated the ‘Cost of Living Adjustment’ (COLA), which has been about 3% each year over the years. This is one factor which assists in reducing the purchasing power of the dollar. In today’s socioeconomic climate, too many individuals are not making it.

This observation is supported by high unemployment rates, high homeless number, high home mortgage foreclosure rates, and the reality that the top 1% of the population is getting 80% of the cash flow available in the current domestic economy.

More homeless individuals, and homeless women with

children, are an indication of families which do not get the basic income needed to purchase food, water, shelter, and other essentials. These social units do not have a stable secure income or community environment. A living wage would permit this to be accomplished by an individual’s wages, but more often than not, do not. The result is the working poor continue to stay in poverty despite several low-income jobs held by the family unit.

This impacts retirement savings as well as retirement plans. Since folks do not know what amount of money will be necessary to purchase their basic essentials and safety needs.

Their union negotiates for excessive amounts of retirement payouts. And since it is difficult to know what the purchasing power may be during any specific economic time, working folks ask for as much as is possible.

Surely, there must be a way to apply an ‘index system’, or sliding scale, to define what a ‘living wage/income’ may be today, which ensures that a responsible individual receives an income permitting a reasonable standard of living.

One thing is certain, that when 158,000,000 Americans have a wealth level equal to the richest 400 families in this nation, the distribution of wealth (money) is a matter which must be addressed by government at all levels (local, State, and Federal), by all unions and their memberships, and by business entrepreneurs. Let’s adjust income inequities by defining ‘A living wage’, which provides for all the means to be the consumers which this nation needs to re-establish its American Consumer economy.

No entiendo por qué nos aprovechamos de los demás, a lo qué me refiero es a la excesiva cantidad por el alquiler, también por la información errónea que se les da.

Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR Desde hace tiempo he querido abordar un tema un poco delicado, el trato entre nuestra misma gente. No quisiera enviar un mensaje equivocado ni dar mala impresión con mis comentarios.

No se confundan yo estoy orgullosa de mi cultura, solo que como seres humanos tenemos alguna fallitas que me gustaría compartir.

Platicando con mis colegas sobre inmigrantes recién llegados al país, me dio tristeza la realidad en la que viven.

Muchos de ellos llegan sin saber que esperar y se topan con gente sin corazón y que se aprovecha de su situación.

No he experimentado personalmente estas cosas, pero las he visto. En una ocasión, recuerdo que el padre de un amigo estaba ansioso por conseguir sus calcomanías de registración vigente para su auto. Había ido al centro comercial Tropicana en el Este de San José y le iban a cobrar cientos de dólares. Esto me disgusto bastante y lo ayude llevándolo directamente al Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados, “DMV” (por sus siglas en ingles) nos dieron las calcomanías por un costo mucho más bajo del lo que le cobraban.

No comprendo por qué el vendedor de calcomanías no puedo ser honesto con sus clientes y ayudarles a conseguir sus calcomanías a un precio razonable. Entiendo que es su negocio y que así se gana la vida, pero creo que es abuso cuando son tarifas muy altas. Creo que deberían

educar a sus compañeros latinos.

Hay todo tipo de estafas que prevalecen en nuestra comunidad. Es bastante vergonzoso y ridículo, especialmente cuando se trata de la vivienda. Al parecer, no podemos hacer lo correcto y ayudar a los demás, preferimos aprovecharnos de su ignorancia.

No entiendo esa manera de pensar. Debemos echarnos la mano y ayudarnos el uno al otro por el bien de la comunidad y porque es lo correcto.

Tampoco debemos tener envidia.

He oído a muchísima gente decir que nos arrastramos unos a otros. Yo no quería creerlo al principio, pero luego me di cuenta que es exactamente lo que hacemos. Es como sí no deseáramos el éxito para ellos o sentimos como que nos deben algo. Como que si una persona no puede obtener éxito entonces nadie puede. Necesitamos adoptar otro tipo de conducta, por qué no pensar que el éxito lo podemos lograr todos. Y solo llegaremos a tenerlo apoyándonos todos.

ered during the excavation of the potter’s field on the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center campus. Unfortunately, no

identifying marks or information has been found on the coffins or with the individuals buried in the potter’s field.

In addition to personal items, medical items have also been excavated from the site. Because the ability to sanitize syringes and other medical items was not as effective as it is today, it was a common practice to bury these kinds of items or simply throw them away.

As of June 11, 2013, a total of 631 remains have been excavated from the construction site. The majority of those buried in the potter’s field are men, ranging from the age of 23 years to those in their 60s. Women have been identified but they are a small percentage of the population.

An even smaller percentage of the remains have been adolescents and infants.

The redwood coffins that have been excavated are of simple construction. Some have been found with handles and others with additional hardware or decorations. The majority of coffins have been hexagonal in

JUNE 21 - JUNE 27, 2013

shape, which suggests they were buried in the late 1800s through the 1920s. Rectangular coffins have also been uncovered and are considered the successor to the hexagonal shape.

Some remains have not been preserved well enough for age or sex analysis or testing. The teams and laboratory testing have been able to determine that a number of individuals died of syphilis and other infections. Many of those buried had amputations and may have died from complications of diabetes.

The excavation has been conducted by the Archaeology Division of URS and D&D Osteological Services. The excavation process begins with isolating each coffin and/or set of remains. Each coffin and/or remains is numbered.

A team made up of an Osteologist and an Archeologist is assigned to each coffin.

Osteologists are trained in the study of bones, including the structure of bones, skeletal elements, teeth, disease, pathology, and ossification.

Depending on the condition of the bones, Osteolo-

gists may be able to identify remains with regard to age, death, sex, growth, and development. Archaeologists scientifically study past human cultures and the way people lived, based on the things they left behind. This study includes the recovery and analysis of artifacts, which are objects made, used, or changed by humans.

Once the lid of the coffin has been removed, the excavation takes place within the coffin.

The skeleton is isolated and removed, as are any items around the remains. The removed bones are wrapped in paper, placed in a bag and archival boxes, and sent to San Francisco State University’s Bio-Anthropology Laboratory for tests and further analysis.

The area being worked now is expected to be completed in August. The remainder of the Services Building construction site should be excavated by the end of 2013.

The remainder of coffins and remains on the property will be left in their current resting place.

Tips for Parents to Prevent Summer Brain Drain or use the onboard calendar. Parents can track their child’s progress on learning milestones and lessons and download high-quality, educational content wirelessly at the online Learning Lodge.

(STATEPOINT) Each summer, parents look for ways to combat “summer brain drain,” which occurs when children lose some of the knowledge they gained during the school year because they’re not regularly exercising their brains. According to research from the Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University, students typically lose one to two months of reading and math skills during summer break.

“Children’s brains develop at a remarkable pace, and don’t take a break from learning just because school is out,” says neuroscientist Dr. Lise Eliot, an early childhood development expert and author. “Parents should offer children fun experiences that encourage learning and exploration, allowing them to absorb new skills and expand their knowledge.”

To help parents avoid summer setbacks, VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and developmental stagebased electronic learning products for children, is offering fun suggestions for summer learning: • Look for teachable moments: Our daily lives are filled with opportunities to

teach children. Following a recipe? Let your child read and measure the ingredients.

Balancing your checkbook?

Put your child’s math skills to use. Going on a road trip?

Let your child look for specific signs along the way and follow along on a map.

• Use learning toys: Learning toys are a great way to help children stay mentally sharp out of the classroom, while also having fun. On the go? Instead of waiting for kids to ask “Are we there yet?”, look for an educational, developmental toy like InnoTab 2S Wi-Fi Learning App Tablet by VTech, which combines a camera, interactive ebooks, creative activities, tilt sensor learning games, and a rich collection of applications.

While in the car or during downtime, children can use their tablet to play games, create art, take notes,

• Read: The benefits of reading to children are enormous, including helping language and speech development, expanding vocabulary and building a lifelong love of reading. Children who read more also perform better academically, so visit the library often and let children choose books that interest them, or consider downloading an ebook on InnoTab 2S. • Plan educational outings: You don’t have to plan an extravagant vacation to teach children about science and culture. Visit museums, historical sites, the zoo or aquarium. Take advantage of free summer concerts to expose children to new styles of music and dance.

• Encourage savings: Saving money is a great way to put math skills to use. Let your children count coins in their piggy banks. Show them how much they’ll need for something they’re saving for, and teach them to create a budget to reach their goals. Clip coupons together, putting the money saved into their piggy banks. Play “store” with your child to practice math.

This summer, give kids the tools they’ll need to retain their knowledge for the next school year.

(BPT) La pausa educativa en el verano no es excusa para poner ambiciones académicas o de carrera en vacaciones.

De hecho, los meses tradicionalmente más lentos del verano son una oportunidad ideal para evaluar las metas académicas y profesionales, de acuerdo con Joe Belliotti, presidente de Everest Institute-Dearborn, en Michigan.

Belliotti ofrece los siguientes consejos a los estudiantes con experiencia y jóvenes que deseen disfrutar de estos meses de verano y poner en marcha sus actividades académicas o de objetivos profesionales.

flexibles - No todas las escuelas tienen fechas de inscripción rígidos, y algunas ofrecen matrícula todo el año. Por ejemplo, algunos de los cursos de Everest son en módulos, con nuevas clases comienzan casi todos los meses.

“¿Por qué poner su educación en espera cuando no es necesario?” Belliotti dice.

“Por ejemplo, la mayoría de los programas de EverestDearborn se puede completar en menos de un año - en el momento en el período de inscripción rueda alrededor en otras escuelas, usted podría estar en su camino a un título, y embarcarse en una nueva carrera.”

* Obtener un internado – Un internado es una gran manera de conseguir un vistazo dentro de una industria o una profesión determinada, y puede ayudar a descubrir si la carrera que usted está considerando es correcta (o incorrecta) para usted. Cuando es el momento de inscribirse o volver a la escuela, se puede extraer de la experiencia del mundo real de los cursos y debates en clase, que pueden ayudarle a distinguir de sus compañeros. Prácticas también reflejan bien en hojas de vida.

* Pula sus habilidades de la gente - El verano es una magnífica oportunidad para poner al día las habilidades “blandas”, como la creación de redes y la entrevista, que no se imparten normalmente en el aula. De hecho, una encuesta realizada por Everest Instituto reveló que el 40 por ciento de los adultos jóvenes creen que la entrevista es una de las habilidades que necesitan para mejorar más para ayudar a conseguir un trabajo.

Belliotti sugiere la práctica de simulacros de entrevistas con amigos y familia - o incluso delante de un espejo.

* Considere la posibilidad de las escuelas con matrícula

* Maximizar sus recursos Utilice esta en el medio tiem-

po para aprender todo lo que pueda acerca de su campo profesional posible utilizando todos los recursos a su alrededor - si se utiliza los libros, la investigación en línea o reuniones cara a cara con la gente en el campo deseado .

Belliotti sugiere asistir a las funciones de red para escuchar consejos de información privilegiada de otros profesionales - en particular, lo que desean que habían conocido o habían hecho de manera diferente en el inicio de su carrera.

Además, si usted está pensando en la educación, visite campus y hablar con los estudiantes acerca de sus estudios y planes de estudio.

Esto le dará una mejor idea de los cursos, las relaciones estudiante-facultad y oportunidades extracurriculares en una institución particular.

“Volver a la escuela es una tarea de gran envergadura, pero no tiene que interrumpir su vida”, dice Belliotti. “El período antes de inscribirse o volver a la escuela puede resultar muy útil para hacer un inventario de su vida y ajustar su trabajo con las responsabilidades familiares para centrarse mejor en sus estudios una vez que comiencen las clases

Discovery opens a second public charter school

San Jose CALIFORNIA The Discovery Charter School organization will be renting a campus in south San Jose pending approval of a facilities agreement with the San Jose Unified School District Board of Education later this month.

The new school will open up with 382 students in grades Transitional Kindergarten through sixth, and will expand to eighth grade (full capacity) within the next two years. This will be the second educational program the Discovery organization has opened. The original charter school opened in 2006.

Since the charter’s inception the program has been in high demand receiving on average over 600+ applications a year for only 75 available entry spots. Registration for

this second school was held just over a week ago. Without knowing the location of this second school over 500 applications were received. “ Opening this second school will enable us to fulfill a need in the community, and we are extremely pleased to have been able to come to an agreement with San Jose Unified that will benefit everyone”, stated Barbara Vella Eagle Discovery’s original founder and School Board President.

The agreement will have Discovery renting a majority of the school grounds.

Discovery will have 16 classrooms, 4 restrooms, library, multipurpose room, full playground, and large grass area. The Discovery administration will also be managing the use of the school grounds

for the school district. The new school will be located at Randol School, 762 Sunset Glen Drive in San Jose.

The Discovery Charter School program is a developmental parent participation program with small group hands on instruction. The program engages the students with integrated curriculum, active inquiry, projects, and field trips relevant to classroom study. Emphasis is placed on the physical, emotional, and social development of each child.

Charter schools are public schools and open to anyone wishing to attend. If you are interested in attending a Discovery School or learning more about the program please go to: www.DiscoveryK8.org.

Stand Against Elder Abuse

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA Research indicates that one out of every 10 elder Americans is abused or neglected.

Even more troubling, for every case of elder abuse reported, it is believed that twentythree are not. Because abuse is one of the most challenging issues facing senior citizens, the County of Santa Clara supported the United Nations’ annual recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15.

Estimates from the National Center on Elder Abuse indicate that in the United States between one and two million people ages 65 and older have been injured, exploited or otherwise mistreated by someone on whom they depend for care and protection.

Projections indicate that by 2050, the global population of people above the age of 60 will exceed the number of younger people. These changes have led to a worldwide recognition of the problems and challenges that face the elderly. On World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, individual organizations from across the world are asked to raise awareness of the various types of abuse to which older individuals are subjected.

Many elder abuse, neglect and self-neglect victims suf-

fer from depression, grief and other mental health concerns that often go unaddressed due lack of understanding about mental illness. National data shows that elder abuse occurs primarily at home, and most likely perpetrators are adult children of the victim, spouses and other relatives; but these crimes are the least reported and prosecuted. The most common types of elder abuse are selfneglect, neglect by a caregiver, financial and material exploitation, mental suffering and physical abuse.

Because of the unique economic nature of Santa Clara County, financial abuse is prevalent and on the rise, accounting for approximately 30 reports each month.

Many elders have worked hard to pay off their mortgages and maintain ownership of their homes, which, regardless of how modest they are, can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in Silicon Valley. Family members may move in with them without their consent, and scam artists and unscrupulous strangers prey upon elders’ resources.

The Adult Protective Services (APS) division works daily to stop elder abuse, whether it is financial, physical, emotional, neglect, exploitation or any other form of maltreat-

ment. Self-neglect is also increasingly common with the aging population. Of an average of 260 new reports to APS each month, self-neglect accounts for 108 reports. The Social Services Agency has 19 Adult Protective Services social workers that investigate and assess abuse reports and work with the client, and often family and friends, to stop abuse and put in place a service plan.

Addressing the issues facing the growing population of seniors in Santa Clara County is the focus of the recently implemented strategic plan, the Seniors’ Agenda, lead by the Department of Aging and Adult Services. This community wide effort is working to improve transportation, information and assistance, housing, volunteerism, policies and funding and making systemic changes to improve the quality of life for our older adults.

If elder abuse is suspected, the public is encouraged to call the Adult Protective Services (APS) 24-hour Adult Abuse Reporting Line at (408) 975-4900 or 1-800414-2002. Reports will be investigated within 10 calendar days or sooner, depending on the urgency of the call. For emergencies callers should dial 911.

Additionally, banks may be more willing to provide funding for a franchise than an independent business . * Franchises offer training and support. For example, UFG employs a group of trained support specialists who travel to stores around the world to assist in everything from basic operation to business development. UFG also uses a mentorship program to help new franchisees. The company selects highly successful franchisees to advise new stores on opening, technical questions and other issues, as well as to provide motivation.

Talking with Your Kids About Drugs AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION Drugs are very much a part of life these days. Medical marijuana is now legal in a number of states.

Meth labs are raided in towns small and large, and the availability of a variety of prescription pills has never been more widespread.

Five years olds are able to comprehend some basic concepts as to what substances fall into the drug category, including cigarettes, alcohol and household products. You should be prepared to explain why these substances are harmful, especially for children.

As children age, it is recommended that parents help a child develop a “plan of action” about what to do when confronted with drugs. Ask questions such as “What would you do if a friend wanted you to try drugs?” “How do you feel about that person?”

Listen to your child’s responses without being critical. If the answers aren’t what you hoped for, try to gently lead him or her into

thinking in more appropriate ways about the situation, without criticizing or forcing your own ideas on the child. You simply want to ensure that your child has thought about drug-related issues, rather than being shocked or overwhelmed the first time drugs are encountered in the real world.

With older children, try questioning what drugs might mean to their lives. Ask what goals the child may be considering, then ask what effect drugs might have on achieving those goals. Encourage your child to be open and honest with you.

Be careful, however, about sharing too much of your own use or experimentation with drugs.

Adolescents often have a “If it was okay for you then it’s okay for me...” attitude. But in most cases, open, honest communication is the best approach in talking with your kids. Basic education about the problems and dangers that drugs can bring is an effective tool in helping your child avoid drug usage. As important is parents modeling appropriate behavior.

Tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:

(NAPSM) Cumplir 65 años tradicionalmente significa el comienzo de la jubilación de un trabajador y, por lo tanto, el comienzo de su cobertura de Medicare. Pero si usted es una de las 10,000 personas que cumplen 65 años cada día y decide seguir trabajando después de los 65, es importante que comprenda el impacto que esta decisión tendrá en su cobertura de Medicare.

“Inscribirse en Medicare puede ser confuso, especialmente si usted sigue trabajando luego de cumplir 65 años y tiene cobertura patrocinada por su empleador”, remarca Tom Paul, director principal de asuntos de los consumidores de United Healthcare. “Sin importar cuando se va a jubilar, es importante que se informe sobre Medicare antes de cumplir 65 años para que así tenga tiempo para considerar sus opciones y para que se pueda sentir seguro de sus decisiones”.

El momento en que lo haga es importante: Preste atención al Período de Inscripción Inicial (IEP, por sus siglas en inglés).

El IEP es un período de siete meses que incluye los tres meses anteriores a la fecha en que cumpla 65, el mes de su cumpleaños y los tres meses posteriores a su cumpleaños. Usted deberá entender cómo sus opciones de inscripción durante el IEP afectarán su cobertura ahora y en el futuro. Tenga en cuenta que mucha gente decide inscribirse en Medicare Parte A (para obtener atención en un hospital) cuando cumplen 65 años aún si tienen cobertura mediante su empleador. Para la mayoría de la gente la Parte A está disponible sin tener que pagar una prima mensual y además se puede combinar con otros planes de salud auspiciados por los empleadores.

9

HEALTH

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

Sanciones y períodos sin cobertura pueden suceder: Si usted no se inscribe para obtener la cobertura de Medicare durante su IEP, puede que usted tenga períodos sin cobertura en el futuro y también puede que le sancionen en el pago de sus primas para Medicare Parte B (visitas al médico) y Parte D (medicamentos recetados).

Para evitar estas posibilidades, tome la iniciativa cuando se ponga en contacto con Medicare para notificarles sobre su inscripción atrasada y asegúrese de que entiende las reglas y requisitos para cuando se inscriba más adelante.

La oficina de recursos humanos puede ayudar: El departamento de recursos humanos de su empleador o el coordinador de beneficios le puede ayudar a entender su cobertura actual y a saber cuándo se debe inscribir en Medicare.

Algunas preguntas que debe hacer: • ¿Me debo inscribir en el Medicare Original mientras tengo cobertura de mi empleador?

No es siempre una respuesta de sí o no. A veces se puede combinar ambas coberturas.

• El plan de mi empleador ofrece beneficios que incluyen medicamentos recetados. ¿Se podría decir que este beneficio es acreditable y que vale la pena? Si la respuesta es sí, entonces usted no tendrá que inscribirse en Medicare Parte D siempre y cuando tenga cobertura de su empleador.

• Cuando quiera jubilarme, ¿qué pasos debo tomar para efectuar completamente la transición a Medicare o a obtener beneficios de jubilación de mi empleador?

10 consejos para crear un buen plato

Elegir alimentos para llevar un estilo de vida sano es muy sencillo si sigue estos 10 consejos. Use las ideas de esta lista para balancear las calorías, elegir los alimentos que le conviene comer con mayor frecuencia y reducir la cantidad de alimentos que le conviene comer con menos frecuencia.

1

balancee las calorías

El primer paso para controlar su peso es ver cuántas calorías USTED necesita al día. Vaya a www.ChooseMyPlate.gov para determinar la cantidad de calorías. Hacer actividades físicas también le ayuda a balancear las calorías.

2

disfrute de sus comidas, pero en cantidades más pequeñas

Tómese el tiempo necesario para disfrutar de sus comidas. El comer demasiado rápido o mientras se concentra en otras cosas puede resultar en que coma demasiadas calorías. Preste atención a las señales del hambre y de saciedad antes, durante y después de las comidas. Úselas para reconocer cuándo debe comer y cuándo ha comido suficiente.

3 4

evite las porciones extra grandes

Use platos, platos hondos y vasos más pequeños.

Separe las porciones de alimentos antes de comer.

Al salir a comer, elija las opciones de menor tamaño, comparta el platillo o llévese parte de la comida a casa.

alimentos que le conviene comer con más frecuencia

Coma más vegetales, frutas, granos integrales, y leche y productos lácteos sin grasa o con 1% de grasa.

Esos alimentos contienen los nutrientes que necesita para la buena salud; entre ellos potasio, calcio, vitamina D y fibra. Haga de ellos la base de sus comidas y bocadillos.

5

haga que la mitad de su plato consista en frutas y vegetales

Al preparar sus comidas, elija vegetales rojos, anaranjados y verduras como tomates, camotes (batatas) y brócoli, así como otros vegetales. Agregue frutas a las comidas como parte de los platos principales o de acompañamiento, o bien como postres.

Centro para Políticas y Promoción de la Nutrición

6

cambie a leche descremada o baja en grasa (1%)

Contienen la misma cantidad de calcio y otros nutrientes esenciales que la leche entera, pero sin tantas calorías y grasa saturada.

7 8

consuma la mitad en granos integrales

Para consumir más granos integrales, reemplace un producto de grano refinado por un producto de grano integral, como comer pan de trigo integral en lugar de pan blanco o arroz integral en lugar de arroz blanco.

alimentos que le conviene comer con menos frecuencia

Reduzca su consumo de alimentos con grasas sólidas, azúcar y sal adicionales. Estos incluyen pasteles (bizcochos), galletitas, helado, dulces, bebidas endulzadas, pizza y carnes grasas como costillas, chorizo, tocineta y salchichas. Use estos alimentos como antojitos ocasionales, no alimentos para todos los días.

9

compare el contenido de sodio de los alimentos

Use las etiquetas de Información Nutricional (“Nutrition Facts”) para elegir sopas, panes y comidas congeladas con menos sodio. Elija alimentos enlatados marcados “bajo en sodio,” “sodio reducido,” o “sin sal adicional” (“low in sodium,” “reduced sodium,” o “without added salt”).

10

beba agua en lugar de bebidas endulzadas con azúcar

Reduzca las calorías al beber agua o bebidas sin azúcar. En las dietas de los estadounidenses, las gaseosas, bebidas de energía y bebidas deportivas representan grandes cantidades adicionales de azúcar y calorías.

(NAPSM) Al comprar medicinas en la farmacia, ya sea medicinas con receta o de venta libre, preste mucha atención a las etiquetas para evitar consumir demasiado acetaminofén. Estudios realizados por la Alianza Nacional para la Salud de los Hispanos señalan que muchos hispanos desconocen que tomar demasiado acetaminofén es un riesgo para la salud y que además no averiguan si las medicinas que toman contienen este ingrediente.

El acetaminofén es uno de los ingredientes más comunes para aliviar el dolor y la fiebre. Se encuentra en más de 600 medicinas recetadas y de venta libre. Cuando se usa según lo indicado, es seguro y eficaz. Pero hay un límite a la cantidad que se puede tomar en un día. Tomar más de lo recomendado es una sobredosis y puede causar daño al hígado. Siga estos cuatro pasos simples para usar acetaminofén de manera segura: • Siempre lea y siga las instrucciones de la etiqueta.

• Averigüe si sus medicinas contienen acetaminofén.

• Nunca tome al mismo tiempo dos medicinas que contengan acetaminofén.

• Hable con su proveedor de servicios de salud antes de tomar acetaminofén si usted consume más de tres bebidas alcohólicas al día. Usted podría tener mayor riesgo de daño al hígado.

Summer snacking: As American as baseball, apple pie ... and jerky (BPT) Summer snacking is among the most popular of American traditions. Here are some easy tips for planning flavorful, healthy and satisfying snacks. * Be smart when you’re navigating the concession stand line-up with simple tricks such as determining whether you are hungry or just thirsty; opting for the most nutritionpacked foods that are low in fat and high in protein, so that your snack satisfies you longer; skipping the bun; and paying attention to the recommended serving size for your snack-of-choice. * Snacks high in protein such as Jack Link’s Jerky will keep you and your family feeling energized throughout the day. Jerky is low in fat, calories and carbs, so it will fill you up, but not out. Jerky is a popular snacking choice today, and it even has its own holiday – National Jerky Day – celebrated annually June 12. * Plan a beer and jerky gettogether, with a selection of brews paired with a bevy of jerky. When making your beer selections, try interesting options from local and regional craft or microbreweries, to create the perfect snacking combo. * The Institute of Medicine advises that men and women should try to consume about nine to 13 cups of water a day, including water that can be found in food and other beverages, such as fruit, vegetables or even coffee.

10 tips to a great plate

Making food choices for a healthy lifestyle can be as simple as using these 10 Tips.

Use the ideas in this list to balance your calories, to choose foods to eat more often, and to cut back on foods to eat less often.

1

balance calories

Find out how many calories YOU need for a day

www.ChooseMyPlate.gov physically active also helps you balance calories.

2

enjoy your food, but eat less

Take the time to fully enjoy your food as you eat it. Eating too fast or when your attention is elsewhere may lead to eating too many calories. Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues before, during, and after meals. Use them to recognize when to eat and when you’ve had enough.

3

avoid oversized portions

Use a smaller plate, bowl, and glass. Portion out foods before you eat. When eating out, choose a smaller size option, share a dish, or take home part of your meal.

4

foods to eat more often

Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or 1% milk and dairy products. These foods have the nutrients you need for health—including potassium, calcium, basis for meals and snacks.

5

make half your plate fruits and vegetables

Choose red, orange, and dark-green vegetables like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli, along with other vegetables for your meals. Add fruit to meals as part of main or side dishes or as dessert.

United States Department of Agriculture Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion

6

switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk

They have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but fewer calories and less saturated fat.

7

make half your grains whole grains

To eat more whole grains, substitute a whole-grain —such as eating wholewheat bread instead of white bread or brown rice instead of white rice.

8

foods to eat less often

Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt. They include cakes, cookies, ice cream, candies, sweetened drinks, pizza, and fatty meats like ribs, sausages, bacon, and hot dogs. Use these foods as occasional treats, not everyday foods.

9

compare sodium in foods

Use the Nutrition Facts label to choose lower sodium versions of foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals. Select canned foods labeled “low sodium,” ”reduced sodium,” or “no salt added.”

10

drink water instead of sugary drinks

Cut calories by drinking water or unsweetened beverages. Soda, energy drinks, and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar, and calories, in American diets.

The Errand of the Eye: Photographs by Rose Mandel June 22nd- October 13, 2013

From the late 1940s through the early 1970s, Rose Mandel produced an original and evocative body of photographs, working closely with and among many of the Bay Area’s bestknown artists including photographers Ansel Adams and Minor White and painters Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff. Mandel’s lyrical sequence of in-and out-of-focus close-ups of vegetation titled The Errand of the Eye was first exhibited at the Legion of Honor in 1954. 60 years later, the de Young hosts Mandel’s first retrospective exhibition illuminating her rightful place in the history of modernist photography.

A painting by Richard Clifton of Milford, Del., was chosen the winner of the 2013 California Duck Stamp Contest. The painting, which depicts a pair of American wigeons in a marsh, becomes the official design for the 2013-2014 stamp.

Following the contest June 18 in Davis, the three judges complimented Clifton’s winning painting, praising its painstaking anatomical accuracy and a “soft, appealing feel.”

“I was trying to create something pleasing that would gain and hold the interest of the judges,” said Clifton, a full-time wildlife artist.

“There is kind of a misty look about it. Something a little tranquil where the ducks look at ease and the setting

is comfortable. Somewhere you would like to be viewing wigeons.”

Clifton has twice before won the California Duck Stamp Contest and also has won a Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest.

Clifton and 18 other artists from around the country submitted entries for this year’s contest, sponsored by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

John Brennan of Lutz, Fla., placed second, Jeffrey Klinefelter of Etna Green, Ind., placed third and Charles Black of Stillwater, Minn., received honorable mention.

The four paintings are expected to be displayed at the Pacific Flyway Decoy Association’s 43rd Annual

Classic Wildlife Art Festival in Sacramento on July 13-14.

Since 1971, the California Duck Stamp Program’s annual contest has attracted top wildlife artists from around the country. All proceeds generated from stamp sales go directly to waterfowl conservation projects throughout California.

In the past, hunters were required to purchase and affix the stamp to their hunting licenses. Today, hunters are no longer required to carry the stamps because California’s modern licensing system prints proof of additional fees paid directly onto the license.

However, CDFW still produces the stamps, which can be requested on CDFW’s website at www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/collectorstamps.

Now, if you’d rather wear some huge earrings instead, by all means do, but ditch the necklace or else you’ll end up looking like a Christmas tree.

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR Summer is upon us--although some of these past few days have probably made us feel like we already were-as such, everyone is beginning to shed... their clothes that is. Shorts and tanks are starting to be the new normal just about everywhere we go, and there aint nothing wrong with that. However, there is something definitely wrong with looking like the rest. I mean, c’mon. If anything, haven’t I taught you individuality and expressing your own style?

In today’s column I will attempt to teach you how to put your own twist to an ongoing trend, and look different while staying on point with the latest fads.

Let’s take a look at floral prints. Floral denim is all the rage this summer. Not only floral denim jeans and shorts are on trend, but they are also comfortable. And you can wear them from day to night with some minimal additions. So here is what you need to do.

First, if you haven’t done so already, go to your favorite store and snatch yourself a cute pair of jeans, or jean shorts, that complement your shape and make you look like a million bucks. Depending on what you like and looks good on you, you’ll be able to wear dark or light colored flower prints. Choose your favorite color. Also think about the size of the flowers and how busy the print is. Just remember you’ll be using this piece as the anchor and focal point to your outfit.

As with the rest of your wardrobe, the fit of your jeans/jean shorts is essential.

Get them too short and you’ll be having to readjust every few minutes; too tight and everyone will be able to read your... well, you get it.

Once you have your jeans/ shorts pair them with a neutral color tank (very important) and cute strappy sandals to go on about your day. PS, You could also wear a loose denim shirt and ‘look’ equally fab.

Take a light cardigan to throw on when the weather

starts to turn, but make sure this is also a solid color unless you want to be adventurous and mix prints or patterns which, if I may say, not a lot of people can pull off.

Here is the cool part. If you want to go from a day at the park to a night downtown, the only thing you have to do

is trade your strappy sandals for a cute strappy wedge (I prefer cork wedges) and a dressy jacket; here’s where digging in your closet for that cool jacket you bought two years ago would be totally worth it.

Lastly, accessorize accordingly. Minimal accessories

A huge handbag that matches the color of your flowers is also a plus, but so is a clutch. Regardless of what you choose, just enjoy the process and confidence you’ll gain by looking good for you.

HAPPY SUMMER !

Mario Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Sigmund Freud (18561939), médico austriaco, fue quien desarrolló las teorías centrales para el psicoanálisis, la sicología de la sexualidad, y la interpretación de los sueños. Aunque sus teorías publicadas a fines del XIX fueron muy controversiales durante su época,

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

la aceptación de su trabajo se reconoció al final de su vida. Su contribución más sobresaliente en cuanto a la interpretación de los sueños, se refiere a la conexión entre la aberración de la conducta humana y la mente inconsciente.

Los libros y tratados de Freud, fueron prohibidos y muchos de ellos quemados por Hitler antes que comenzara la segunda guerra mundial, ya que el régimen nazi le

consideraba un mal elemento para la sociedad por ser judío y por la fama que tenía de recetarle cocaína a sus pacientes. Entonces Freud, no tuvo más remedio que exiliarse junto a su familia en Inglaterra, país que le abrió las puertas y al contrario de Hitler. Churchill le consideró que como uno de los grandes sabios de su época y muchos ingleses acudieron con él por la fama de sus curaciones casi milagrosas.

El trabajo más sobresaliente de Freud, <<La Interpretación de los Sueños>>, fue publicado en 1899, pero fechado de 1900 porque su máximo deseo era entregarle su obra maestra al nuevo siglo. Libro que aún más de cien años después de haber sido

publicado, sigue circulando en las librerías y gozando de gran aceptación entre los lectores alrededor del mundo.

En esta obra él analiza muchos de sus sueños y los de sus pacientes, registrados todos en el período de análisis y auto análisis que dio inicio en 1896. Según Freud, la mente que sueña está dominada por un proceso diferente del que rige la vigilia. Y dice que ese “proceso primario” se distingue por sus mecanismos más primitivos, sus rápidos cambios de energía y emociones, y su contenido sexual y agresivo derivado de la infancia.

Sigmund Freud será catalogado por siempre como el padre de la psicología moderna y precursor de la teoría que todos los sueños tienen un significado.

En sus observaciones, Freud encontró pruebas claras de la represión y resistencia del mecanismo mental. Él describió la represión como un artificio de defensa inconsciente para hacer inaccesible a la mente consciente el recuerdo de eventos dolorosos o amenazantes. Definió la resistencia también como una defensa inconsciente para prevenir la ansiedad emocional que causa el conocimiento de experiencias reprimidas.

Para observar la operación del proceso inconsciente, Freud usó la libre asociación del paciente para que le sirviera de guía a la hora de interpretar y analizar los sueños. Este proceso le llevó a descubrir la sexualidad infantil y el llamado “Complejo de Edipo”, que se manifiesta como una atracción erótica del niño hacia la madre y de la niña hacia el padre; junto con sentimientos hostiles hacia la madre o el padre respectivamente.

Sleep apnea is a common disorder that causes people to stop breathing while they sleep. Nearly 42 million Americans are living with the condition, yet at least 75 percent of the most severe cases remain undiagnosed. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to a multitude of other health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity.

Think you may be at risk? Take the “sleep apnea quiz” and find out:

• Do you wake up in the middle of the night choking or gasping for air?

• Do you find it hard to stay awake when you’re sitting quietly (for example, when you’re in a meeting at work or stopped at traffic lights)?

• Do you have the energy to do things you want to do?

• Do/did your parents or grandparents snore?

• Are you depressed?

• Do you have high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease?

If you can answer “yes” to two or more of these questions, you may be at risk for sleep apnea. A diagnosis of sleep apnea can sound worrisome, yet with support and education, you can be on your way to a better night’s sleep and a healthier life.

Noche mágica al llamado Irrumpe Fidel Nadal en la escena musical de los Caifanes Los hijos del rock abarrotaron el Fox Teather en Oakland

Rocky Rivas ESPECIAL PARA EL OBSERVADOR Al momento de estar pensando en escribir esta nota volaron varias ideas por mi mente, pero siendo honesto no quería que fuera una nota más de esas aburridas en donde siempre se dice que la banda prendió y donde se enumeran todas las canciones que interpretaron y bla bla bla.

Y escribo esto porque no fue otro concierto más de las tantas bandas que andan rondando por ahí y que no provocan la euforia como “Caifanes” lo hicieron el pasado viernes 14 de junio en el teatro Fox de Oakland, en donde a pesar de estar la competencia fuerte con otros grandes eventos como el de Gloria Trevi o Pitbull en otros escenarios en la bahía los cuales no afectaron a este evento. Este concierto era un llamado a los hijos del rock.

Aquella generación noventera y de la primera década del 2000 que hicieron una revolución rockera en el norte de California.

Por donde quiera que caminaba me encontraba alguna

cara conocida, esos rostros que fueron testigos de un sinnúmero de conciertos y el nacimiento de muchas bandas que ahora son famosas.

Aquellos que tuvimos que hacer el trabajo difícil para que el rock en tu idioma se escuchara por estas tierras y a los que les quiero mandar un saludo a todos y cada uno de ellos.

Solo basto que las luces se apagaran y se comenzarán a escuchar los acordes de la primera rola para que toda la raza se entregara al ritual musical.

Saúl Hernández, Alfonso André, Sabo Romo, Diego Herrera y Alejandro Marcovich se montaron a el escenario y nos invadieron con los más grandes éxitos de esta banda. Con los que disfrutamos el concierto en donde nos desgarramos la garganta con todos y cada uno de ellos.

En donde hubo momentos que “Saúl Hernández” dejaba de cantar para apuntar el micrófono hacia el público para que se escuchara ellos mismos por el sonido local.

El rostro de felicidad se hiso notar en cada uno de los integrantes de la banda, al escu-

char como el público se entregaba gritando y saltando de felicidad y en donde hubo momentos que se escuchaba más al público que a los mismos “CAIFANES” que estaba en el escenario. Es increíble ver toda la energía que desata esta banda sobre sus seguidores, como se podían ver los rostros de muchos de ellos como se transformaban y desataban toda esa energía en un slam que por momentos abarcaba la mayoría de la pista en donde se semejaba a un poderoso tornado humano que arrasaba con todo a su paso. También habían varios rostros llenos de lágrimas por la alegría de volver a ver a la banda una vez más juntos. Ya que por diferencia de algunos miembros se separaron y nos privaron por 18 años de su música.

Ahora ya con 2 años del reencuentro tan ansiado por sus seguidores, regresaron a la Bahía de San Francisco.

Algunos dicen que les falto chispa y magia. Y yo digo sea como sea “Caifanes” son y seguirán siendo la banda más mágica de México.

Y si no me creen, pues pregúntenle a los verdaderos hijos del Rock.

mos contentos que el álbum, ya vio la luz”.

Después de dos años de prepararlo, el músico y cantante argentino Fidel Nadal lanzó su nuevo disco “Llegó el momento”, en el que la mayoría de las canciones son de su autoría, con el sonido y arreglos adecuados.

Indicó que después de este par de años, el disco fluyó gracias a que las canciones se fueron armando poco a poco, “hasta convertirse en lo que hoy suenan. Tenía una idea del lineamiento general del material, las letras fueron moldeándose según la música”.

“El proceso fue largo, de casi dos años, desde empecé a escribir las canciones, las ideas, hasta llegar al momento que salió. Inicié con los demos, buscando el sonido y los arreglos, pensando para qué lado iba a tirar cada canción, esta-

En entrevista, Nadal dijo que no tenía idea de cómo iba a titularse el material, “pero cuando me preguntaron, supe que la canción ‘Llegó el momento’ sería la ideal,

porque fue la que se grabó en Jamaica y además es la que más me gusta”.

El primer sencillo, que da nombre al álbum, cuenta con la colaboración de Alborosie, exponente del dance-hall y reggae roots internacional.

La mezcla del tema fue realizada por él, en los estudios Shebgen de Kingston, Jamaica.

El video oficial de “Llegó el momento” ya está disponible en YouTube, el cual cuenta con su tradicional estilo ecléctico y lleno de energía.

An Intro to E3

JUNE 21 - JUNE 27, 2013

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR

From June 11th to the 13th, thousands of fans, press, and members of the video game industry from around the world converged at the Los Angeles Convention Center to attend the yearly Electronic Entertainment Expo. Now in its 18th year, the tradeshow focuses on the new technology and video games that are being created for the upcoming year and beyond. As the years progressed, similar E3 trade shows were set up in Europe and Japan but were unsuccessful in building a following as large as the one in Los Angeles.

This year’s event was more elaborate than ever. What first began as a simple tradeshow aimed towards video game businesses and analysts, to discuss and show their emerging games and gaming technology, has evolved into a stylized and increasingly extravagant media event, where the top gaming companies compete for traffic on the show floor as well as having the most visually appealing décor for their upcoming products.

Giveaways, live game tournaments and the appealing “booth babes” (ladies in sometimes sparse amounts of clothing promoting products for vendors) line the corridors of the sprawling convention center floors. Two separate buildings house the event every year and are connected by the convention center walkway, which in turn is lined with giant billboards and ads for video games and accessories.

The outer façade of the building is also bathed in enormous advertisements, which are more focused on artwork than getting a point across with words; although the front entrance to the main lobby had a giant Playstation logo with the footer “Greatness Awaits”.

The most interesting part of the event is the fans, which include those that buy passes to the event to get a taste of the latest offerings from publishers such as Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft Studios and Entertainment Arts, as well as those that are there to work such as the media, press, analysts and vendors for the various companies.

Seeing the smiles and starry-eyed looks on peoples faces, both those who are on the clock and those working, show the enormous appeal that the event has. Video games are the tool, and the developers and backers make sure that everyone at the event is having a good time. Various giveaways for answering questions, trying out new hardware and games are common fare on the floor of E3.

The biggest draw is the big 3, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, which make their largest announcements that day on their new consoles and hottest upcoming games and features. The press conferences for those companies draw hundreds and thousands more over the live webcast. This year was especially important because of the unveiling of the new iterations of Sony and Microsoft’s consoles, the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, which have a lifespan of nearly 8 years each. Nintendo previously released their next-generation console, the Wii-U, last year.

These new systems will arrive by the holiday season with the expected price tags of $399.00 (Playstation 4) and $499.99 (Xbox One) respectively. The graphical capabilities, addition of advanced sensory cameras, cloud-based computing, and increased internal storage are just some of the features of these new versions of the consoles. E3 closed as quickly as it came, leaving its nearly 50,000 attendees with a sense of awe and anticipation from the upcoming games they had the opportunity to test out in Los Angeles.

City Council Unanimously Authorizes Lawsuit to Allow A’s to Move to San Jose San Jose CALIFORNIA

The City of San Jose has filed legal action in federal court to eliminate the territorial restrictions that Major League Baseball has used to keep the A’s from moving to San Jose.

“For more than four years, the City of San Jose has made an exhaustive effort to work with Major League Baseball to resolve any concerns about our city’s capacity to host a major league ballclub,” Mayor Chuck Reed said. “During that time, it has become abundantly clear that Major League Baseball prefers to use territorial restrictions as an excuse to restrict commerce and prevent the Athletics from relocating to San Jose. This restriction is costing San Jose residents millions of dollars in new annual tax revenues that could go towards funding more police officers, firefighters, libraries, gang prevention ef-

forts, road repairs and other critical city services.”

The Oakland Athletics ownership group has expressed a desire to construct a new privately-financed and privately-operated ballpark in Downtown San Jose. The efforts have been stalled by the San Francisco Giants’ claim of “territorial rights” to Santa Clara County. According to an independent economic analysis conducted by Conventions Sports & Leisure International, a new major league ballpark in Downtown San Jose would generate significant benefits, including: $5 million per year in new tax revenues to the City and other local governments; $130 million per year in total net new economic output; and Nearly 1000 new full and part-time jobs.

San Jose has entered into an option agreement with the Athletics Investment Group, LLC, the California limited partnership that owns and operates the Oakland A’s, to purchase property for a ballpark in Downtown San Jose.

San Jose seeks to restore competition among and between the clubs and their partners by ending MLB’s collusive agreements. The lawsuit outlines several practices that have resulted in an unreasonable restraint on competition, in violation of federal and California law, and constitute unlawful, unfair, and/or fraudulent business practices under California law, including violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, Tortious Interference with Contractual Advantage, and Tortious Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage, and for violation of the federal Sherman Act, and violation of California’s Cartwright Act.

Fuertes protestas en torno al Castelao previo al Brasil-México Bra.zil (NOTIMEX) Momentos de tensión y violencia son los que se vivieron alrededor del estadio Castelao, previo al partido entre Brasil y México de la Copa Confederaciones 2013, donde más de 50 mil personas protestaron por las políticas económicas y sociales adoptadas por el gobierno de este país.

Desde temprana hora en todas las zonas de la ciudad se pudo observar a decenas de personas, con mantas que mostraban sus demandas, que se empezaban a reunir para dejar patente su molestia.

“Brasil no olvida que un profesor vale más que Neymar”, era una de las frases

que más se escuchaba conforme la gente avanzaba, mientras la policía se preparaba para impedirles el paso y evitar que llegaran más cerca del inmueble.

Las paredes no quedaron limpias de pintas como “Esta copa no es del pueblo” y “Fuera FIFA”, así como otras ofreciendo disculpas: “Perdón por las molestias que ocasionamos, pero es por el bien de todos”.

Al ver que las personas no estaban dispuestas a detener su andar, la Policía Militar no tuvo más remedio que enfrentarlos sobre la avenida Alberto Craveiro, la que desemboca en el estadio, y repeler sus embates con toletes, lo que generó una respuesta violenta por parte de los manifestantes, quienes lanzaron

piedras, palos y hasta algunas sandalias.

Esta respuesta obligó a que las fuerzas del orden lanzaran gases lacrimógenos y balas de goma, con lo que pudieron controlar a los inconformes y replegarlos unos 500 metros.

La experiencia, sin embargo, no fue del todo amarga para los aficionados mexicanos, quienes al ser identificados se les recibió con gritos de “México, México”, y amablemente se les permitió el acceso.

No así para todos, ya que algunos aficionados que vestían la playera de la “verdeamarelha”, en especial una señora que lloraba, tuvieron que sortear a los inconformes.
