El software completó una prueba piloto de un año. Más de 600 pacientes y 75 obstetras, médicos de familia, parteras y enfermeras tomaron parte en los proyectos piloto. Más del 95% de los pacientes reportaron que la herramienta era fácil de usar y de entender Chair of the California State Senate Committee on Energy Alex Padilla issues statement regarding Amber alert system Alex Padilla, commented on the use and efficiency of the Amber Emergency Alert System, “The Wireless Emergency Alert system is a critical new tool for delivering Presidential alerts relating to national security, Amber alerts, and alerts regarding lifethreatening emergencies such as fires, floods and earthquakes. Participation by the public and the wireless industry is voluntary. Thus, government must act prudently to harness the full potential of this powerful new tool to enhance public safety. At the same time, the Legislature must ensure appropriate oversight and chain of authority within the California Highway Patrol, Office of Emergency Services, and other relevant agencies so that alerts are used sparingly and effectively to earn the public trust.”

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

Attorney General Eric Holder announced a major shift in federal Department of Justice’s (DoJ) criminal policy, overturning the decades-old “mandatory minimum prison sentences” for low-level, nonviolent drug offenders, a hallmark of President Ronald Reagan’s War on Drugs (1980). This policy helped over crowd California’s prisons. Today too many ‘persons of color’ are serving “mandatory minimum prison sentences” for non-sexual and non-violent crimes. These victims of puritanical justice could have been better served with mandatory rehabilititation and mental health therapy programs monitored by local probation departments at a much lower social and economic cost. One probation officer may monitor up to 100 probationed individuals at a cost far below the $45,000 annual cost of prison incarceration.

Under the new proposed DoJ policy, prosecutors will send fewer drug offenders to federal prison for long sentences, and judges will have more discretion in sentencing.

“Too many Americans, (especially Latinos and AfricanAmericans), go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no good law enforcement reason,” Holder said in a speech to the American Bar Association, Monday, 08.12.13, in San Francisco.

A.G. Eric Holder must follow through on proposals for a broad overhaul of the U.S. criminal justice system made in multiple speeches during this year (2013), often with an eye on the racial disparities and deep financial strain on families that somehow cope with

poor housing, poor access to job training, education & medical care, and having to experience an ’at risk’ life style. All this has come to be associated with prison systems over the years.

Some civic non-governmental organizations such as ‘Friends Outside’ do their best to assist families of inmates.

Another recommended reform would be to align and reconcile the ‘Federal laws defining marijuana as illegal’ with those of California, whose laws have de-crminimalized possession and sale of medicinal marijuana where prison setences are magnified by the ‘Three Strikes’ sentencing approach.

El Observador commends Santa Clara County’s District Attorney, Jeff Rosen, who has already taken the approach ‘to fit the punishment to the crime’ even for the immigrant community amongst us. (‘Punishment must fit the Crime---for immigrants, too, San Jose Mercury News, Opinion Page A14, 08.12.13). This approach is already being applied by Deputy District Attorneys when they examine cases which involve immigrants who have been residents in this community for decades. These immigrant individuals may still be technically deported by existing federal ‘War On Drugs’ legislation, which AG Eric Holder needs to include in his proposals for mitigative adjustments of existing federal law.

Rachel Maddow (MSNBC, 08.12.13) revealed that only 10% of those incarcerated are in federal prisons (some 219,000 convicts); the balance (another 2,000,000) are in state prisons and local jails.

About $80 billion are required to sustain these incarceration systems used to house those convicted of minor crimes.

The scale of those imprisoned, who are mostly Latinos and other people of color, has resulted in a public and private prison industry which has, up

to now, been totally impenetrable by public media, and profitable to the private prison business sector. The prevailing attitute is ‘who cares?’ about those who are incarcerated.

mi prima, pudiera ser gay, y ella, ya ha hecho algunos comentarios no tan agradables, que no son muy apropiados o dignos de ser mencionados. Lo que es aún más loco es que ella sabe que yo no soy heterosexual, pero supongo que es diferente cuando se trata de sus propios hijos, especialmente, si es un niño quién resulta ser gay.

The justice systems, national, state and local, must take steps to incorporate the latest scientific knowledge about human violence and behavior disorders which can be managed with new medications.

The Department of Mental Health, County of Santa Clara, (Nancy Pena, Director) has developed an innovative program which rehabilitates inmates who are non-drug users, non-violent and nonsexual offenders. It is the ‘realigned state prison inmates’ who are now beneficiaries of ‘wrap-around’ approaches to human behavior modification, which is less costly than prison incarceration at $45,000 per annum.

Well, it is time that the general public, especially communities of color, begin to care. In California alone, some 140,000 inmates are housed in facilities designed to house only some 85,000 inmates.

Keep in mind that when these new approaches are used more extensively, one interested stakeholder will be the California Correctional Officers Association who will not want any reduction of prison jobs.

On the other hand, new jobs will be in the offing. Jobs which require the application of the latest psychiatric, psychologic, and social services needed to deal with the many mental health issues involved, at a lower cost. And those services will need executives, planners, and many licensed mental health service workers. This alternative approach is projected to be more humane and more effective. Let’s reduce that 2.2 million individuals incarcerated to a much smaller number by immediately modifying the ‘War on Drugs’.

Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR Hola chicos, están todos invitados al parque Children’s Discovery este fin de semana.

San José estará celebrando el día de orgullo este sábado y el domingo. yo también voy a estar celebrando y entregando copias de este increíble periódico, así que vallan a visitarme. Para aquellos de ustedes que no saben de lo que estoy hablando, eventos de orgullo son una época para celebrar la comunidad LGBT. Me he dado cuenta de que ser gay en las familias latinas puede ser una cosa difícil. En realidad, nunca me di cuenta hasta que mi madre compartió un chisme muy alarmante. Unos de los hijos de

Soy muy afortunada de tener unos padres tan tolerantes. yo nunca dije esas dos palabras para hacerlo oficial ante ellos y no tenía que hacerlo. Quiero decir que he tenido conversaciones al respecto con mi mamá y ella se apresuró a decir: “tú eres mi hija, yo lo sabía, y no tenía que preguntar.” Una vez le presenté mi pareja a mi padre y esa fue mi manera de decirle. También se mantiene en contacto con mi madre, una mujer que es una excelente comunicadora, así que estoy segura de que lo sabía, incluso antes de presentársela.

Creo que los jóvenes de hoy en día, son cada vez más valientes en aceptar quiénes son en una edad temprana, pero aún puede ser difícil

para ellos ser honestos con sus padres, especialmente en una familia latina. No me puedo imaginar lo difícil que es para un hombre joven salir del closet. Automáticamente la gente pensará que es menos hombre y pensarán en todos esos estereotipos estúpidos. y para una jovencita, dará la impresión que es más masculina o que en secreto quiere ser hombre.

Los padres latinos tienen que darse cuenta de que no fallaron como padres y no deben sentir que no merecen esta situación. Al igual que ellos, van a necesitar algún tiempo para entender, el hijo también está tratando de descubrir quién es en realidad.

La sexualidad humana es tan complicada y es muy interesante ver a la gente tratando de entenderse unos a otros. Por muchos años han estado los roles que la gente tiene que tomar. yo digo que hay que superar eso y apreciar a todos los seres humanos por igual. No todo es blanco y negro. ¡Feliz día de orgullo!

En cada una de ellas, el cuerpo no produce o no usa apropiadamente la insulina –una hormona que es necesaria para convertir el almidón de azúcar y otros alimentos en energía que necesitamos para vivir. Las causas exactas de la diabetes no son claras aún, aunque la genética y el ambiente ó los factores del estilo de vida pueden jugar un rol importante en el desarrollo de la diabetes y sus complicaciones.

• Diabetes tipo 1- En este tipo de diabetes, el cuerpo falla al producir insulina, la hormona que desbloquea las células en el cuerpo, dejando la glucosa (azúcar) entrar y abastecerlos, Las personas que tiene diabetes tipo 1 deben inyectarse insulina diariamente para sobrevivir.

• Diabetes tipo 2 - Esta es la forma más común de diabetes. Se desarrolla cuando el cuerpo no puede producir ó usar apropiadamente la in-

• Diabetes Gestacional – Este tipo de diabetes ocurre durante el embarazo y luego usualmente desaparece después que ha nacido el bebe.

Es muy importante tratar la diabetes gestacional por que puede dañar el desarrollo del feto. Las madres quienes han padecido diabetes gestacional están en un riesgo incrementado de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2 en años venideros.

El tener sobrepeso es una de los factores de riesgo principal para desarrollar diabetes tipo 2 y hace que el tratamiento de la diabetes sea más difícil.

SACRAMENTO

State Controller, John Chiang, released his monthly report covering California’s cash balance, receipts and disbursements in July 2013, the first month of the State’s fiscal year. Revenues for the month totaled $4.8 billion, coming in below estimates contained in the state budget by 6 percent.

“Reflective of the State’s improving fiscal health, Cali-

fornia’s upcoming cash flow borrowing is shaping up to be the smallest in four years,” said Chiang. “While this month’s numbers disappoint, reaction must be tempered by the fact that July is often the State’s least significant revenue collection month.”

According to Department of Finance estimates, the month was supposed to deliver $5.1 billion in revenues.

Personal income taxes for the month came in $273 million below (7.0 percent) estimates

AUGUST 16 - AUGUST 22, 2013

outlined in the state budget.

Corporate taxes for July were $10.1 million above (4.9 percent) estimates, while sales tax receipts were up $7.1 million (0.9 percent).

The State ended the month of July with a General Fund cash deficit of $10.9 billion, which was covered with internal borrowing from other funds.

The Controller has projected that the State will need approximately $5.5 billion in short-term external borrowing for the current fiscal year. This annual borrowing comes through a Revenue Anticipation Note (RAN) and is typically repaid in May or June. This will be the smallest cash-flow borrowing in the State’s recent history (2012-13: $10 billion, 201112: $6.4 billion, 2010-11: $10 billion, 2009-10: $8.8 billion).

Jason Alderman Practical Money Una de las decisiones más importantes que deberá tomar al redactar su testamento es decidir quién será el albacea de su herencia. Aun cuando esté dejando bienes domésticos y una pequeña caja de ahorros, alguien –ya sea designado por usted o por un tribunal testamentario –debe hacerse cargo de sus asuntos.

Algunas personas consideran que asumir la responsabilidad de asegurarse de que se cumplan los deseos de su ser querido es un honor o un deber. Pero ser el albacea de una herencia puede ser oneroso y demandar mucho tiempo, aun para los que conozcan bien las cuestiones financieras o legales. En el peor de los casos, los albaceas que actúan imprudentemente o que no cumplen con sus deberes pueden ser demandados por los beneficiarios y acreedores.

Además, seguramente tendrá que lidiar con la tan temida sucesión de bienes –un proceso supervisado por el tribunal destinado a localizar y determinar el valor de los bienes de la herencia -pagar las últimas facturas e impuestos, y distribuir lo que quede entre los herederos.

Antes de aceptar ser el albacea de una herencia, asegúrese de entender qué deberá hacer. Las principales responsabilidades suelen ser: Hacer todos los trámites en nombre de los herederos, incluyendo todo lo relacionado con el testamento, los fideicomisos, las pólizas de seguro, el banco, los resúmenes de las cuentas de inversión y retiro, los certificados de nacimiento y defunción, los papeles

de matrimonio, acuerdos prenupciales o divorcio, los registros del servicio militar, las escrituras inmobiliarias, los registros fiscales, etc.

herederos o a un beneficiario.

Por eso, solicite varias copias a través de la casa funeraria o el departamento de salud del condado.

Si la herencia es complicada o puede ser contenciosa, tal vez convenga contratar a un abogado y/o contador para que lo ayude a lidiar con el papelerío.

Localizar los bienes, incluyendo los bienes personales, cuentas bancarias y el contenido de las cajas de seguridad, y asegurarse de que estén protegidos hasta su venta o distribución a los herederos. Para ello, podrá tener que actualizar el seguro del hogar o del automóvil, cambiar las cerraduras, controlar las tasaciones de las propiedades que deban venderse, etc.

Presentar una copia certificada del testamento en el tribunal testamentario local, quien decidirá si es necesario hacer la sucesión de bienes o no.

Si el tribunal testamentario lo confirma como albacea, se le entregará un documento llamado “carta de designación”, que le otorga la autoridad legal para actuar en nombre de los herederos, incluso de abrir una cuenta bancaria a nombre de estos para pagar las deudas pendientes (préstamos, cuentas de servicios, facturas médicas, saldos de tarjetas de crédito, etc.)

Notificar a todas las partes interesadas, que pueden ser: organismos gubernamentales (Seguridad Social, Departamento de Veteranos de Guerra, Medicare, Oficina Postal, Departamento Automotor); instituciones financieras; acreedores, actuales y ex empleadores; administradores de planes de retiro; compañías de inversión; compañías de seguro; médicos y otros profesionales; propietarios o inquilinos; empresas de servicios públicos, etc.

Seguramente deberá enviar una copia del certificado de defunción para cerrar cuentas, reclamar beneficios del seguro, pasar la titularidad de los bienes o cuentas los

Cobrar el dinero adeudado al difunto, como sueldos pendientes, beneficios del seguro, beneficios del plan de retiro y alquileres.

Notificar a los herederos sobre el legado.

Presentar la última declaración de impuestos federal, estatal y local del difunto, así como las declaraciones fiscales federales y estatales de los herederos, si corresponde.

Una vez finalizada la sucesión, deberá distribuir los bienes restantes a los beneficiarios nombrados.

Como ser el albacea de una herencia puede demandar mucho tiempo (por lo general, meses o años), usted puede cobrarle al estado honorarios por su tiempo –por lo general, un porcentaje del valor de la herencia, como lo indique la ley del estado.

En resumen, ambas partes deben entender perfectamente qué se requiere de un albacea para asegurarse de elegir a la persona correcta.

No debe darle vergüenza decir que no, si no está preparado para hacerlo y, si necesita ayuda, hay muchos profesionales que pueden asistrilo.

On August 6th, on National Night Out, more than a hundred people of different races and creeds gathered at San José City Hall for a demonstration in remembrance of the Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, who was killed in February of 2012. The congregation was peaceful and featured speakers who relayed information about the local events, their personal stories, as well as motivational words for our own community whose violence has been increasing as compared to the past few years.

The community that gathered at City Hall was composed of different facets of the social sphere: Teachers, students, parents, the youth and those disenfranchised by violent events in the local and national levels. This was not only a rally and march for the memory of a gunned down youth, but a call to action by the frustrated citizens of America who are uneasy about the gun control and its resulting laws and regulations in America.

Although the point was not to vilify any party, it was a place to ventilate all the confusion and thoughts on the events of the past few weeks which had NAACP, African-

AUGUST 16 - AUGUST 22, 2013

American communities and those on the side of the law at two opposite ends of a spectrum.

Some took the neutral road, but emphasized that history has shown a vilification of certain types of people, “the time has come where you have to say enough is enough and yes we know the system is not fair. We have to stand up, we have to fight, and we have to get justice..” Others felt that society has mixed but that there are still racial boundaries that affect how we see each other and how the media and justice system react. Sandy Perry, an Outreach Minister with Community Homeless Alliance Ministry (CHAM), discussed the economic imperative of figuring out the true cause of prejudice and who the finger should be pointed at, “We can’t win economic justice without racial justice, we can’t win economic justice without as long as we’re divided, we can’t win economic justice as long as people don’t even understand who’s creating the problems that were facing, who’s stealing their housing from them, who’s stealing their healthcare from them, who’s taking away their basic needs.”

The march from City Hall to Cesar Chavez Park ran

through downtown and had bicyclists halting traffic at certain points so that the procession could walk to its destination. Amongst a crowd of about 50 people signs that read “I AM TRAyVON MARTIN AND My LIFE MATTERS”, “No Justice/No Peace” and “Trayvon Vive, La Lucha Sigue” (“Trayvon Lives, The Fight Continues”).

The people in attendance consisted of groups like the aforementioned CHAM, the South Bay Committee Against Political Repression and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), whose efforts helped create the discussion zone.

Although the frustration of recent events have highlighted the potential and need for change within the justice system and local government, the main point that was made at the end of the rally at Cesar Chavez Park was that we, as a whole, are a community. In that respect we should treat each other as a whole nation, every individual connected by the American blanket of freedom and justice. It’s just up to the masses to put their individual efforts into a larger collective that will restore these justices and proper sentences to its citizens. This is one step towards an undivided home.

Otro orador en la reunión habló sobre los Estados Unidos y el desprecio por las vidas de personas en Asia, África, y América latina. Al igual que otros oradores, habló de Oscar Grant, un joven que perdió la vida a manos de un policía del BART. También se habló de Rodney King y los golpes que recibió a manos de miembros del departamento de policía de Los Ángeles.

Parece que hasta ahora más y más personas sienten que todavía existe la discriminación racial, por desgracia han sucedido casos como el de George Zimmerman, caso que parece empeorar las cosas para los que creen lo contrario. Este caso fue significativo y las comunidades minoritarias están haciendo su mejor esfuerzo para utilizarlo como un catalizador para el cambio, los cambios positivos y mejores relaciones entre la comunidad y la aplicación de la ley.

Miles de personas en más de 100 ciudades de los Estados Unidos protestaron incluyendo el Área de la Bahía, por lo que consideran un sistema judicial prejuiciado, inclinado racialmente a favorecer a los anglosajones.

Las decenas de manifestaciones se realizaron después que el jurado de la Florida, absolviera al ex vigilante vecinal voluntario George Zimmerman, de la muerte de un tiro contra el adolescente afroamericano Trayvon Martin, quién se encontraba desarmado.

La vecina ciudad de Oakland, no fue la única ciudad que se llenó de indignación.

Aunque no ocurrieron disturbios, los residentes de San José tuvieron diferentes manifestaciones y marchas en apoyo a que se aplique la justicia para Trayvon Martin, pues consideran que su caso fue abandonado por un sistema de justicia roto y racista.

Decenas de personas se reunieron en el City Hall de San José, para hacerle frente a un sistema que quiere encarcelar y no educar. También pidieron que se ponga fin de inmediato a la brutalidad y el asesinato policial. Ellos quieren justicia para todos.

La Señora piensa que todavía hay tensión racial. Ella se siente como le sucede a otras razas, la tratan como si les debe algo. Compartió que la única manera de cambiar las cosas es si todo el mundo se pone de pie juntos. Ella nunca tuvo miedo de andar en la calle, pero ahora siente que no puede hacerlo.

“Ha llegado el momento en el que tienes que decir basta, y si sabemos que el sistema no es justo”, dijo el orador.

“Tenemos que resistir, tenemos que luchar, y tenemos que conseguir justicia para Trayvon Martin”. hacer algo que incluya a todas las nacionalidades. Todos tenemos que estar de pie como uno sólo”, dijo la señora.

racial.“Evidentemente, cada vez que una persona hace una suposición sobre otra persona, esa persona está trazando un perfil... Yo creo que si Trayvon hubiese sido blanco esto jamás habría ocurrido”, aseguró Sybrina Martin.

Los oradores en el mitin hablaron de la discriminación, la discriminación racial y los prejuicios que alteran los factores y ganan veredictos importantes. Había un sentimiento de traición abrumadora por el sistema que se supone que debe proteger y servirles a ellos. Hablaron de la prueba viviente de sesgo racial que muestra la justicia desigual que prevalece en el país que viven, parecen esperanzados y continuarán pidiendo justicia no sólo para Trayvon, sino para todos.

(STATEPOINT) In a world full of noise -from everything from city traffic and lawnmowers to hairdryers and earbuds on personal music devices -hearing problems are a growing issue. Chief among these problems is tinnitus, a medical condition affecting 50 million Americans.

Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sound when no external sound is present, and is most commonly caused by exposure to loud noises. Typically, those suffering describe it as “ringing ears,” though others describe it as hissing, buzzing, whistling or chirping. For some, it’s a minor annoyance. For others, it can be debilitating, causing hearing loss, sleep disruption, changes in cognitive ability, anxiety and depression.

With this in mind, Starkey Hearing Technologies is helping educate about tinnitus and related hearing issues. If you’re concerned you may have tinnitus, consult a hearing professional to discuss treatment options.

To learn more visit: www.TinnitusHearing.com.

These days, the good news is that new treatment options, such as innovative sound therapy solutions, can offer relief to soothe those ringing ears.

(STATEPOINT) Are you taking good enough care of your eyes? According to a new study, your gender and where you live may indicate if you are practicing good eye health.

Women go to eye doctors 28 percent more than men, according to the 2013 Eye Health Index released by VSP Vision Care, the largest not-for-profit vision benefits and services company in the country. Analysis showed that women, who are statistically at greater risk for eyerelated diseases, make a more concerted effort to care for their eyes.

The research also concluded that Boise City, Idaho, is the top city where more residents took care of their eyes in 2012.

Boise City had the highest rate of eye exams compared to any other city on the index for the past two years. Other cities ranking in the top 10 eye healthy cities are Sacramento, Oklahoma City-Tulsa, Wichita, Columbus (Ohio), Des Moines, Birmingham, Denver, Raleigh, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

More details about the new study, along with eye care tips, can be found at www. vspblog.com/healthyeyes.

In addition to identifying vision correction needs, eye doctors are often first to detect signs of serious health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

POSPUESTO AVISO DE DISPONIBILIDAD Y AVISO DE UN INTENTO DE ADOPCION DE UNA DECLARACION NEGATIVA MITIGADA Tema: Reconstrucción del puente sobre el Arroyo de Los Gatos/ Terminal Sur, Fase III. Ubicación: En la Ciudad de San José, Condado de Santa Clara, California.

APN: 22801002; 22801003; 22805003; 22806007 Persona a Contactar / Numero de Teléfono: Hilda Lafebre, Gerente de Proyectos de Capital y Planeación Ambiental / (650) 622-7842.

Periodo de Revisión: Del 16 de Agosto del 2013 al 16 de Septiembre del 2013.

Descripción del Proyecto: El Buro del Corredor de la Península une poderes con el Buro que opera el servicio de vías para los pasajeros de Caltrain de la Bahía de San Francisco, en este proyecto se propone remplazar el puente de dos vías que cruza Los Gatos Creek, en la ciudad de San José, Condado de Santa Clara, California. El propósito de la propuesta del proyecto es remplazar la estructura deficiente del puente de dos vías que cruza Los Gatos Creek (que es propiedad y es atendido por JPB) y provee un caudal de vías desde el sur de San José de la estación Diridon para: ·Asegurar un viaje seguro sobre las vías a los pasajeros de Caltrain y otros usuarios del puente de vías sobre Los Gatos Creek. ·Mejorar las operaciones en la estación Diridon de San José y proveer una manera eficiente para que los trenes cambien de dirección: y ·Minimizar los retrasos a lo ancho del sistema otorgando una parada de emergencia.

Sin el proyecto propuesto, la sustitución del puente de vías sobre Los Gatos Creek no se podría completar y el puente incrementaría el riesgo en la seguridad para los usuarios. Además las operaciones en los alrededores de la estación Diridon no mejorarían y se presentarían retrasos a lo ancho del sistema.

La construcción del proyecto se llevara a cabo en una serie de etapas para mantener en servicio las vías existentes atraves de los puentes. El puente será más ancho que el original con la expansión realizada en el lado oeste para ubicar el caudal de vías que serán necesarias para la etapa de construcción y mejorar las operaciones en la estación Diridon de San Jose, esto para el área norte del proyecto. La alineación final de las dos vías principales sobre el nuevo puente no será alterada de la actual configuración.

Declaración Negativa Mitigada.

De acuerdo con el Acta de Calidad Ambiental de California (CEQA por sus siglas en ingles) y con sus directrices, el JPB preparo un borrador de un estudio inicial de una Declaración Negativa Mitigada (IS/MND) para el Proyecto Fase III para el Remplazo del Puente sobre Los Gatos Creek/ Terminal Sur. Basados en el Estudio Inicial, el personal determino que el proyecto podría no tener un impacto significativo sobre el medio ambiente con la implementación de las medidas atenuantes como se hace notar en el IS/MND. El proyecto propuesto remplaza un puente sobre vías deficiente en su estructura que actualmente existe y que pone en riesgo la seguridad y todos los impactos ambientales potenciales que podrían resultar con la implementación del proyecto y que estos pueden ser atenuados hasta ubicarlos por debajo de los niveles significativos.

Periodo para Comentarios Públicos: Del 16 de Agosto del 2013 al 16 de Septiembre del 2013 Se invita a todas las agencias afectadas y al público en general a revisar el borrador IS/MND y enviar sus comentarios por escrito.

Puedes encontrar el borrador IS/MND en www.caltrain.com/ losgatos.

La fecha límite para sus comentarios es el 16 de Septiembre del 2013 y deberán ser enviados a Hilda Lafebre, Caltrain, P.O. Box 3006, San Carlos, CA 94070-1306 o lafebreh@samtrans.com.

Reunión Pública Se sostendrá una reunión pública para informar sobre el Proyecto Fase III del Remplazo del Puente de los Gatos Creek/ Terminar Sur y la fecha para esta reunión es el 27 de Agosto del 2013 a las 7:00 p.m. en la siguiente ubicación: San Jose City Hall 200 East Santa Clara Street, Room 119 San José, CA 95113 8/16/13 CNS-2521839# EL OBSERVADOR

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: KickAss 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher MintzPlasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante KickAss, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy.

Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own.

The high stakes thriller Paranoia goes deep behind the scenes of global success to a deadly world of greed and deception. The two most powerful tech billionaires in the world (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) are bitter rivals with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to destroy each other. A young superstar, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth), seduced by unlimited wealth and power, falls between them and becomes trapped in their twisting, turning, life-and-death game of corporate espionage. By the time Adam realizes his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows far too much for them to let him walk away.

With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again exmobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes. Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR

The event, run by Another Planet entertainment, has been beneficial to the local community and economy and environment over the last 6 years. Being San Francisco bred, the music festival’s intent is to entertain and at the same time be beneficial to the local environment.

Stages ran entirely on solar energy, helpful employees and volunteers picked up cigarette butts and trash, as well as plenty of recycling bins

The weekend of August 9th-11th brought many of today’s hottest musical, comedic, and art based acts, as well as the areas best food vendors, to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The 6th annual Outside Lands Music Festival took place at the park for a whopping sold out three-day event, totaling to 64,000 attendees per day.

throughout the event helped to highlight the diverse and earth-friendly concert series.

by the energy of lead vocalist Karen O, brought a radiating dynamic to the mellow contrast of the McCartney crowd, which was followed up by Nine Inch Nails’ industrial electronic sound later in the evening by way of Trent Razor and Co.

As with Tennessee’s Bonaroo festival, which is also run

by Another Planet, Outside Lands shares some of the key artists from that festival.

Earlier in the year Paul McCartney, as well as Hall and Oates, highlighted that festival among many other great acts. The reviews of those performances being very positive brought eagerness to their involvement in the San Francisco version.

The Twin Peaks Stage, on the opposite end from McCartney that night, was also packed by thousands of younger audience members, who were there to experience the electronic sounds and intricate lighting effects, by the band Pretty Lights.

Indeed the lights were of the wonderful type, as they carried the energy of the crowd through dizzying sound effects and melodies. This contrast was one of the best things about the selections of musicians at the Outside Lands festivals. There was something for everyone at nearly any time during the span of the 3-day fest.

With the portions of the expansive Golden Gate Park being the setup for the threeday event, masses of people congregated in and around the surrounding neighborhoods dressed in a plethora of fashions, ranging from jeans and tees to bear costumes, superhero garbs, and even 60’s flower child remnants. The eclectic mix of young and old, (even a couple infants), brought a great mix of energies to the various stages and activity areas.

Broken down into 4 distinct stages, Sutro, Twin Peaks, Panhandle (which had been powered exclusively by solar panel power for the 6-year run) and the main, and largest one, Land’s End. Each stage brought along performances that kept audiences engaged and determined to have fun alongside thousands of other fans and friends. Special guests and secret shows provided days worth of enjoyment. Special performances included a secret show by indie band The Head and the Heart, Full House’s own uncles Jessie, John Stamos, accompanying Willie Nelson and Family on bongos. A replacement set for the recently hospitalized R&B genius D’ Angelo at the Sutro stage by Chic, featuring prodical guitarist Nile Rodgers, had the field turning into a dance floor.

The headliners, which included: day one’s Paul Mc-

Besides the music there was so much else to see, enjoy and interact with at the festival.

Live murals, with paint and spray cans, were being made around several areas. Dozens of enticing food trucks, art installations, comedy shows and event sponsors tents were also present. The Barbary Coast tent, which had a comedy club/lounge feel to it, hosted a roast of San Francisco by Comedy Central’s Jeffrey Ross, as well as such ear catching events as Erotic Fan Fiction Writing Workshop, which included hilarious alternate stories within such entertainment universes such as Harry Potter, Fraiser, and Captain Planet.

Cartney, Pretty Lights, The National, day two’s Nine Inch Nails, Phoenix, yeah yeah yeah’s, and day three’s Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kaskade, and Vampire Weekend provided enormous crowds the chance to see some true legends of music perform in the cool, San Francisco summer nights amongst some of the most lush natural scenery along with added purple lighting within the trees and excellent stage sound and effects.

Paul McCartney started off with The Beatles “Eight Days A Week” and, an impressive 29 songs later, culminated with “Hey Jude”. Then after that, two encores with an additional 8 songs followed.

This performance lasted more than 3 hours, and there

was never a dull moment for the former Beatle. This performance was part of the last leg of his “Out There” tour, which ends in Tokyo, Japan in November. Rock powerhouses yeah yeah yeah’s, led

With music, art, comedy and a melting pot of a crowd, the San Francisco Bay Area really showed off its determination for entertainment and conscious to keep the environment safe in one of it’s best new venues, the formerly uninhabitable “Outside Lands” of the city.

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR It all started with hunky Marky Mark showing off his Calvin Klein boxer briefs in the 90’s. On top of being a rapper, the talented and damn good looking fella became a very successful actor and even dabbed into modeling. He pretty much single handedly made underwear cool.

It’s 2013 and underwear has finally taken the role it was always meant to have, and it is now on the same playing field as the rest of our clothes. Guys, especially gay men and metro sexuals, have a very keen sense of aesthetics when it comes to how they look. And one rule of thumb is, the less clothes, the better.

Looking good does not always mean having a great

physique--trust me. I’ve met some really good looking guys with amazing bodies. However as soon as they open their mouth... well, let’s just say they lacked a brain cell or two, but that’s a different story. Looking good means being comfortable in your own skin and being able to show it off by choosing the right underwear.

So, it’s San Jose Pride weekend. I know most of you are all about having fun, meeting new friends, and maybe even getting a chance to show off your sexy pair of Andrew Christian’s underwear to some lucky boy or girl. Perhaps you feel like showing them to everyone by simply dancing in your chones to the beat of the music. Whatever your brief encounter is, make sure it is the right fit for you.

Briefs look good on a slender body, kind of a lean mean dancing machine. Andrew

Christian offers a wide variety of briefs that will make everyone gag with envy.

Trunks are sexy and a little bit shorter than boxers but they look good on everyone.

They are the right kind of wrong. UNICO offers some funky prints to express your personality, and also FREEGUN has some pretty cool designs. Check’em out!

Now there are risk takers abound, and they go for the more minimalistic kind of underwear; bikinis anyone?

I wouldn’t really recommend anyone to wear a bikini unless they have a chiseled body, but that’s just what I think. If bikinis are your thing, then check out the designs of JOE SNyDER and fit of BODy TECH. There you have it. Now get out there and show off your sexy bod. Happy Pride!

(STATEPOINT) No one likes to think about worst case scenarios, but being prepared for them is crucial to quickly recover in the event they occur.

But there’s good news -new technologies and tools are making it easier to protect yourself and your loved ones from all kinds of emergency situations.

Your Home When is the last time you replaced your home’s windows? New stronger materials -- including impactresistant glass and laminated glass -- are now available, that are specifically designed to handle storms, hurricanes and other extreme weather scenarios. Think about the kind of weather that threat-

While there’s an upfront cost associated with these replacements, you could potentially save big on repairs down the line.

Your Data One area of disaster preparedness you may not have given much consideration to is data protection. The Federal Emergency Management Agency states that 40 to 60 percent of businesses who experience a data disaster never recover.

Your Pets In the chaos of an emergency, your dog or cat is more likely to lose his or her collar and identification tag.

Should you become separated, you can greatly increase your chances of a reunion by having a microchip implanted and registering your pet with a microchip company.

Microchips, which are recommended by the Humane Society as extra protection, can be implanted safely by a veterinarian.

These days, disaster preparedness is about more than having a radio, batteries and a flashlight.

Mario Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR “Ganesh o Lord Ghanesa” como se le conoce en la religión hinduista, es uno de los santos más venerados en la India y países vecinos, actualmente su culto se está propagando rápidamente en todo el mundo debido a sus milagrosas proezas y favores que obra en la vida de aquellos que le invocan. A Lord Ghanesa se le conoce como el espíritu que remueve los obstáculos, el que abre los caminos, el que te lleva de la mano para que encuentres la buena suerte. El que abre las puertas, el que ayuda en todo proyecto, trabajo o negocio que ha de iniciarse; quién te guía fructíferamente en el camino al éxito.

No hay problema ni barrera que él no logre vencer, es un espíritu “bodishatva”, aquel que ha vivido a través de las diez etapas de purificación espiritual y se ha preparado para entrar en el Nirvana. Si se siente estancado, si siente que su vida no emprende el camino en ascenso que desea, si siente que no ha alcanzado lo que se merece o simplemente cree que todas las puertas se han cerrado; abra su corazón a una nueva experiencia espiritual y pídale con

entera devoción el favor que necesita, Lord Ghanesa es un santo, un espíritu elevado al que le agradan las velas blancas y color rosa, los perfumes exóticos y los inciensos de la India. Su apariencia es muy peculiar pues posee cuatro manos y tiene la figura de un niño con la cabeza de elefante, su mitología es extensa y su culto se ha extendido en todas las sectas del hinduismo y también se le venera dentro del budismo.

Ganesh tiene muchos nombres y todos ellos conforman los aspectos de todos los caminos que él rige, le llaman por ejemplo, Ganapati, Vinayaka, Vignesha, Shri, Sri y Sree. A los que le veneran se les conoce como Ganapatyas y una de las formas que utilizan para venerarlo es a través de los cantos:“Ganeshasajasrarama” canto que invoca sus multiples nombres y a que su vez procede del Ganesha-purana, escritura antiquísima que relata diversos métodos de invocación y veneración al santo. También se le venera en la escritura Ganapati-atharvasirsa y en el Magdala –purana. La oración Ganesha-chalisa es una de las escrituras más hermosas dedicadas en su honor.

El culto a Lord Ganesha es muy antiguo, se puede trazar

en sus inicios a unos 700 a 900 años antes de Cristo, aunque algunos historiadores opinan que data del siglo V antes de Cristo. y se cree que llegó a alcanzar un gran apogeo en el año 1000 de nuestra era. Se le considera junto a Shivá, Lakshmi y Vishnu, como una de las figuras más veneradas en las naciones que conforman el subcontinente Indio. Su nombre proviene del sánscrito y significa: Señor de los Ganas, o Señor de las multitudes.

En cuanto a su origen hay muchas leyendas, unas de ellas, relatan que siendo niño perdió la cabeza a manos de su propio padre, Shivá; quién al ver muy afligida a la madre de Ganesh, Párvati; le prometió colocar en el cuerpo de Ganesh la cabeza del primer ser vivo que pasara por la puerta, y en ese instante pasó un elefante.

En las últimas dos décadas el culto a Lord Ghanesa, ha encontrado mucha aceptación en todo el continente americano, frecuentemente se le invoca en ceremonias y consagraciones místicas.

Bendecidos sean tus dones espirituales milagrosos, bendecido seas “Lord Ghanesa”.

Kuala Lumpur (Notimex) El delantero argentino Lionel Messi, del Barcelona, afirmó tener buena relación con el reciente fichaje, el atacante brasileño Neymar da Silva y además confía en el buen aporte del nuevo estratega argentino Gerardo “Tata” Martino.

Messi descartó de manera rotunda tener diferencias con Neymar e incluso espera que el jugador proveniente de Santos, pueda darle al conjunto Blaugrana demasiadas alegrías.

“Lo de Neymar salió en la prensa, que iba a ser un problema y no lo es. Nos llevamos muy bien, fuera y dentro, nos estamos conociendo

poco a poco. Hasta ahora jugamos poco juntos y nos estamos entendiendo. Seguramente nos dará muchas alegrías”, comentó.

En conferencia de prensa, antes de enfrentar el sábado a la Selección de Malasia, Messi declaró que “Tata” Martino llega al equipo catalán, con la ilusión de triunfar y devolverle la alegría al equipo, la cual por diversos problemas perdió en la campaña pasada, uno de ellos la enfermedad de “Tito” Vilanova.

“Cada entrenador tiene sus cosas. No ha venido a cambiar nada, sólo a recuperar lo que el año anterior perdimos un poco. El tiempo que llevamos es para conocernos.

El objetivo es el de cada año, tratar de lograr los objetivos

Messi no quiso comprometerse con alguna opinión respecto a la pretemporada que efectúa el Barcelona, que ha estado llena de viajes y duelos sencillos ante rivales como la Selección de Tailandia 7-1 y Valerenga, de Noruega, 7-0 “No sé si es la mejor manera de preparar una pretemporada o no, pero es la que hay.

Estamos trabajando muy bien. Hay muchos actos, muchos viajes, entrenamos cuando podemos, por todas las cosas que hay, los partidos lo jugamos con mucha seriedad. Nos da ritmo, es una buena preparación y llegaremos bien a los primeros partidos”, indicó.

El mediocampista argentino Ezequiel “Miragol” Miralles consideró que el Atlante tiene suficiente material humano para salir pronto de la mala racha que le acompaña en el actual torneo, con apenas un punto ganado de 15 posibles.

“Miragol” dijo que cada vez se siente mejor, más adaptado, pues si bien entrenaba no tenía actividad oficial y eso al principio le costó en cuanto a tomar el ritmo de juego.

“Estamos bien, pensando más que nada en nosotros, en lo personal veo que el equipo día tras día mejora, lamentablemente los resultados no nos han acompañado”, dijo.

El suramericano reiteró que la clave es mantener la calma y no caer en desesperación, “pues lo único que se provocaría es jugar peor y estar
