WWW.EL-OBSERVADOR.COM Green Facilities and Stadiums Attracts 1,000 Experts to Statewide Recycling and Litter Conference in San José / More than 1,000 waste management professionals and leaders in sustainability will converge in San José to discuss innovations in waste, recycling and litter management from August 3-6. The California “Epicenter of Innovation” conference at the San José Fairmont Hotel is jointly hosted by San José Environmental Services Department, California Resource Recovery Association, and Solid Waste Association of North America.

The backdrop of San José provides opportunities for attendees to view new state-of-the art facilities, including Levi’s Stadium, which is the first NFL stadium to open with LEED Gold certification.

SIX-MONTH MILESTONE IN STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN FOR SNOOPY LICENSE PLATE / This week marks the six-month milestone in the statewide campaign to put the world’s most beloved beagle on an official California license plate, and help generate needed funds for the State’s museums at the same time. Since late January, over 4,200 Californians have pre-ordered an official Snoopy license plate—which is 56 percent of the 7,500 applications required by the State before the new plates go into production. The license plate features a reproduction of an iconic original Snoopy drawing by Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz and the phrase “museums are for everyone”.

Water district kicks-off new summer drought campaign / The Santa Clara Valley Water District is launching a new summer drought campaign, Brown is the New Green. Media representatives are invited to help kick off the movement to go brown this summer. Brown is the new Green encourages residents to reduce their outdoor watering and let their lawns go a little brown this summer.

With proper watering and maintenance, a lawn can survive the drought, while saving a huge amount of water. There are also other ways to go brown this summer that include tips to reduce outdoor watering as part of the campaign.

El aceite de canola ayuda a controlar la glucosa en sangre en personas con diabetes de tipo II / El ensayo clínico en humanos muestra que también protege contra la enfermedad cardiovascular. El aceite de canola puede ayudar a controlar la glucosa en sangre (azúcar en sangre) en personas con diabetes de tipo II cuando se la incluye como parte de una dieta de bajo índice glicémico (GI, por sus siglas en inglés), de acuerdo a una investigación presentada en las Sesiones Científicas de la American Diabetes Association celebradas en junio de 2014 (resumen CT-SY24) y publicada en la revista Diabetes Care que es revisada por expertos. El estudio de canadienses adultos con diabetes de tipo II muestra que el agregado de aceite de canola en la dieta constituye un modo simple de ayudar a controlar la glucosa en sangre y el riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular (CVD, por sus siglas en inglés). La diabetes afecta a alrededor de 3,3 millones de canadienses (9%) y 26 millones de estadounidenses (8,3%).

Hilbert Morales eL oBSeRvaDoR During 1956, at Purdue University, i studied an elective course’ electronic instrumentation” which turned out to be quite useful during my career. Yesterday, i read ‘the Kiplinger Letter’, “Forecasts for executives and investors”, July 11, 2014. its focus was on ‘the next big phase in computerization’. i crafted this summary in the hopes that the local low-income community would react to its counsel in preparation for ‘jobs in the future’. i have learned during my life that “Good fortunes favor those who are prepared to go through the door of opportunity.” one needs to be responsive and productive when opportunity comes your way. the first step is to know enough to ‘see’ opportunity. if one is not ready, that door slams shut. today, high tech industry needs coders now. During the next five years computer networks will expand with opportunities right here in Silicon valley. if you want to have an advantage, begin to prepare now. i would want Hispanic youth to not only know how to code, but also to know and use the knowledge involved in computer science (cybernetics). Do not wait for a local training program to become available. Use the free on-line Khan academy to begin to learn its terminology and scientific basis. once you learn its vocabulary, your knowledge will transform into understanding. today there are one billion devices which are connected to each other with microcomputers. By 2020 (5 years) this will increase to 26 billion. this transition will require

skilled individuals with technical know-how. this challenging work will require trained brain-power to be ready to ‘work smart’ rather than ‘working hard’. Women could have an upper hand because they tend to communicate and collaborate. Men tend to compete and play the ‘King of the Hill’ games. today much more gets done by teams working together and communicating with each other. But understand, that insight and understanding of natural phenomenon happens in the individual’s brain....not in the group. and if that insight can be communicated in a manner that others understand, that is when creativity and innovation happen. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, David Packard and William Hewlett all had that trait. temperature sensors, micro-video cams, Wi-Fi networks, microchip computers can constantly monitor a process or machine. Friction creates heat, so a temperature sensor tells the microchip to communicates what needs to be done or checked out.

You already have experienced that when the ‘panel light’ in your car tells you “need Service”. now think of factories wherein all equipment is connected. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HvaC) may be monitored and constantly adjusted to maintain efficient operations at any given time of the day at lowest operating cost. Motion detectors turn on lights or activate cameras (security systems).

What makes this possible is the current very low cost of essential components: motion detectors, micro-video cameras, Wi-Fi network, plus ‘customized apps’. What is needed soon in this field are skilled informed workers who not only know the basics, but also are prepared to be the planners, managers, executives, and investors. the local and global economic impact is tremendous. it will enable sustainable

environmental systems. By 2025, a worldwide system of connectivity will do many things such as prevent equipment failures; increase efficiency in real time; monitor and track production operations; reduce downtime; increase quality controls and efficient use of energy. in health care, it will facilitate electronic medical records; constantly monitor elderly and chronically ill patients; send medical service alerts; track use of drugs or therapy; manage care along with total nutrition consumed. all rehabilitation training and behavior modification progress can be tracked. now, using ankle bracelets to monitor the activity and location of a convicted individual, that person may be allowed to serve his sentence at home while performing assigned community work, be able to keep a job, stay in relationship with family, neighbors, and society. the social cost of imprisonment will be mitigated through rehabilitation and behavior modification. the convicted individual is not exposed to prison environments where he/she can learn to be a better criminal. Recidivism will be greatly reduced. existing prison incarceration will be devoted to those who are truly a danger to themselves and society. anyone can begin to prepare for inclusion in this future computerized networking field. What is required is doing the ‘informed critical thinking’ to create the desired computerized network system. Many today have already experienced ‘internet connectivity’ through their ‘smart phones’. now is the time to learn enough, and to understand enough, to be included in this coming wave of economic opportunity. Just commit yourself now to prepare for your future opportunity.

EDUCATION

MEXICO CITY Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed an agreement with the Mexican Ministries of Public Education and Foreign Affairs and the National Council for Science and Technology to forge greater ties between institutions of higher education in California and Mexico, with particular emphasis on online learning.

“The ties between California and Mexico began before the Declaration of Independence and today we take one more step by bringing our institutions of higher learning closer together,” said Governor Brown.

The scope of the agreement includes cross-

border online learning, student and teacher exchanges, joint research and scholarly endeavors.

Specifically, the agreement will enhance cooperation through a range of activities, including: •An exchange of students and teachers; •Implementation of joint research and scholarly activities; •Organization of conferences and seminars; •Exchange of academic materials and other information; •Short-term stays for students and teachers; •Teacher training courses for English language teachers;

Fellowship programs for students (undergraduates and graduates), teachers, academics and researchers; and Online programs.

In order to further these objectives, a new California-Mexico Higher Education Working Group held its first meeting yesterday at the Casa de California in Mexico City.

Members of this group include representatives of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, the University of California Office of the President, the California State University Chancellor’s Office and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities.

Photo: (c) Zimmytws - Fotolia.com (StatePoint) The transition to college is an exciting time, full of anticipation for the next chapter of life. But with new opportunities come uncertainties, from financing an education to picking the right courses.

“Paying for college and having kids leave the house is new territory for most parents and children. But with research and preparation, parents can help kids learn how to maximize available funds, borrow responsibly and manage their new lives,” says Jodi Okun, founder of College Financial Aid Advisors and brand ambassador for Discover Student Loans.

“Parents should encourage kids to take responsibility for forming a long-term financial plan they can work through together.”

Okun offers the following tips for a smooth transition: • Empower students: Let students start with smaller decisions, such as what to do with high school graduation money, and then build to bigger ones, such as finding and applying for additional scholarships, and deciding

whether they can balance school with work-study or a part-time job. Encourage students to form meaningful relationships with their school’s financial aid office.

• Balance dreams with opportunities. While students often pick a major based on childhood passions, parents may steer them toward an in-demand field with a good salary and career trajectory.

In fact, 70 percent of parents say job potential after college is as important or more important than choice of major, according to a recent Discover Student Loans survey.

Starting salary should also guide how much debt the student takes on. For example, if a student anticipates a $40,000 a year starting salary, he or she should take on no more than $40,000 in student loans over the course of college.

• Figure out the parents’ role. The majority of student loans are for students, but there are loans specifically for parents (e.g., Parent PLUS Loans and some private student loans). Consider the advantages of each and decide whether parent student loans, traditional student loans or a combination is best. Regardless of what’s de-

cided, parents should discuss options and expectations with their child.

• Exhaust free money first.

Grants, scholarships and other free financial aid can help students pay for costs.

Resources such as Discover’s Free Scholarship Search and Studentaid.ed.gov can help students and parents identify and apply for important free money.

• Choose the right student loan. With so many choices for loans, choosing the right one can be overwhelming.

Families should compare federal and private student loans based on key components, such as interest rates, origination fees and repayment options and then choose the loans that best fit their financial needs.

• Seek consultation. Financing college can be an overwhelming and confusing process. Consider talking to a financial planner who can offer sound advice.

As college costs rise, understanding the financial resources available, as well as having conversations about who is responsible for what, will ultimately provide peace of mind for students and parents.

Veronica T. Avendaño El Observador Yoga, pick-up soccer matches, food and desserts trucks all have one thing common this summer, “Summer in St. James,” a pilot program aimed to reactivate St. James park in downtown San Jose to become more community and family oriented.

The Office of Economic Development, the Department of Neighborhood Parks and Recreation and Neighborhood Services, the City Manager’s Office, in collaboration with the San Jose Downtown Association put together a team to create activities and events to encourage residents to use the park. The city received a 60 thousand dollar grant from the Knight Foundation to fund the newly launched pilot program.

historic value to San Jose, but over the years it had become less active and not tremendously utilized,” said Department of Parks and Recreation event coordinator Brian Clampitt.

Clampitt said the goal is to change the landscape of the park to “a much more inviting park to the community in general.” He added that residents saw St. James as a walk through, using the park to cut through to get to one place from another. With the addition of weekly activities in the park, “we see folks actually coming around and hanging out spending their lunchtime in the park,” said Clampitt.

The park reactivation group is focused on providing community activities; they have also addressed in their pilot program the homeless population and a crime-taking place in the park. Clampitt

“It’s really the community effort. There’s so much going on in the park right now we’re really glad to be apart of it,” said Linane. “It is our downtown local community, there are people out here right now taking their very first yoga class.”

BUSINESS

Taking steps today to manage your finances and get out of debt will help ensure a successful, debt-free financial situation in the future.

(BPT) With each passing year, student loan debt is digging a deeper hole for more young Americans. Over a nine-year period, the average student loan balance among 25-yearolds has grown 91 percent, from $10,649 in 2003 to $20,326 in 2012. More than

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com While the statistics are startling, some of today’s young people are prepared to take on the financial challenge.

Younger generations (those in their mid-20s to early-30s) are showing signs of taking their finances seriously, according to a MassMutual 2013 State of the American Family Study.

Nearly two-thirds want to be actively involved in all decisions regarding their finances, and almost half are actively seeking ways to educate themselves about personal finance, a rate significantly higher than older generations. For young people looking to take control of their future, there are ways to ease the strain of student debt.

ply for a range of scholarships to help lower your education costs. “One of the most powerful steps young people can take to mitigate educational debt is to aggressively seek out scholarships to help fund college,” says Michael Fanning, an executive vice president with MassMutual. “Graduating from college with less debt can help take the financial worry out of the equation when making ‘grown up’ decisions like homeownership, starting a family and saving for retirement.” * Make a budget that includes all expenses - Expenses fall into three categories: fixed, flexible and discretionary. Sit down and review all of your monthly costs, from meals to rent payments, and identify which category they fall in. From there, you can allocate funds to each area. It’s critical that you have a full understanding of all expenses, debt and assets in order to not only stay on top of fixed expenses - like your student loans - but also build a realistic financial plan.

* Borrow or swap - Before making a purchase, ask a friend or relative if you can borrow or swap for a similar item. This especially holds true for items you may use only once or very few times. Going on a backpacking trip abroad? See if you can borrow a friend’s backpack rather than buying a new one. Looking to update your wardrobe?

Ask a friend to swap outfits, doubling each other’s wardrobes instantly. Buying something with your money isn’t the only way to get it. * Keep living at home - Rent is a huge expense. If you’re moving away from your hometown to work, it’s unavoidable. But if your first job is close to home, consider asking if you can move in with your parents for the first year or two to save on expenses. Use the money you’re able to save during that time to make larger payments toward your student loans to pay them down quicker. That will also allow you to bolster your savings for when you do move into a place of your own.

* Avoid credit card debt - Postgraduation is a crucial point that will help determine your credit-score for years to come.

Younger generations have close to $5,000 in credit card debt, according to MassMutual’s study. To keep credit card debt in check, only use one or two cards at a time with limits that aren’t high, and pay your balance in full each month to avoid interest. Missteps could affect the rate you pay on big purchases down the road, like a car or home loan. * Ask for a raise - Once you have established a solid foundation at your job, usually around the one-year mark, raise your hand and ask for a raise. Be sure to approach your supervisor prepared, both with how much more you want and why you deserve it. Highlight how you’ve demonstrated value to company over the year and how your work merits a raise. Even if you don’t get it right away, you’ve started the conversation.

• Los aportes a los planes de otros estados por lo general no son deducibles de impuestos en el estado donde uno vive, pero hay cinco estados que ofrecen beneficios fiscales por invertir en el plan de cualquier estado. (Arizona, Kansas, Maine, Missouri y Pensilvania).

• El plan de cada estado ofrece diferentes opciones de inversión, tanto en cuanto al estilo de la inversión (basada en la edad, basada en el riesgo, con protección del capital, fondos administrados o indexados, etc.) como en cuanto al rendimiento real de la inversión.

• Se puede elegir a quien uno quiera como beneficiario –hijos, otros parientes o amigos.

• Si el beneficiario original decide no ir a la universidad u obtiene una beca, se puede reasignar la cuenta a otro miembro de la familia en cualquier momento.

• Se pueden transferir los fondos a otro plan 529 o cambiar las estrategias de inversión una vez por año. Si se quiere hacer más de una transferencia de fondos dentro de un período de 12 meses, habrá que cambiar de beneficiario para evitar el pago de impuestos y penalidades. (Siempre se lo puede volver a cambiar más

adelante).

• Los aportes de hasta $14.000 por año, por beneficiario, están exentos del impuesto a las donaciones ($28.000 para los matrimonios).

• También se puede hacer un solo aporte de hasta $70.000 ($140.000 para los matrimonios) por cada beneficiario y luego compensar el aporte en cinco años sin tener que pagar el impuesto a las donaciones, siempre y cuando no se haya hecho ninguna otra donación a ese beneficiario en esos cinco años.

• Estos planes son tratados como un activo del titular de la cuenta (no del estudiante) cuando se calcula el aporte familiar previsto para los costos universitarios, por lo que tienen un impacto comparativamente bajo en la elegibilidad para obtener ayuda financiera.

La mayoría de los expertos financieros recomiendan analizar primero los planes del propio estado para ver qué ventajas fiscales ofrecen a los residentes, si es que ofrecen.

Estas ventajas podrían ser lo suficientemente significativas como para compensar las menores comisiones o el mejor

Examine detenidamente la estructura de comisiones, que suele incluir la comisión por apertura de cuenta, mantenimiento anual, costos administrativos y, lo más importante, la comisión de venta si se compra a través de una agencia de corretaje –que puede ser de hasta el 5.75 por ciento de su aporte. Comprar el plan en forma directa evita la comisión de venta pero usted tendrá que investigar cuál es la mejor opción para sus necesidades.

Por último, analice el rendimiento de los fondos tanto en el momento en que se inscribe como periódicamente. Morningstar (www.morningstar. com), College Savings Plans Network (www.collegesavings. org) y FinAid (www.finaid.org) tienen herramientas comparativas muy útiles.

Veronica T. Avendaño El Observador San Jose, along with 37 million participants nationwide, will celebrate “National Night Out,” an annual crime and drug prevention event, next Tuesday evening, August 5 at more than 100 different registered city event sites.

of Parks and Recreation, and Santa Clara county department of Health, provided event coordinator meetings to help ensure that each event site had the proper permits and guidelines. Le said that San Jose has more than 100 sites participating, but some choose not to register and remain informal since their event is not on a larger scale.

Once a list of all registered sites are complied, Le said the list is given out to multiple city departments, and public officials who wish to show support and provide outreach at the event. The list is also given to the police department for patrol.

“The idea was for neighbors to come together, turn the porch light on, lock your doors, and come out with the police department to take a stance against crime and drug activities,” said crime prevention coordinator, Mini Le. Leaving the porch light on is the event’s symbol for promoting safety.

“Since it is a crime prevention celebration, the list is for the patrol to make as many stops as they can in between their calls for service,” said Le. “Priority that evening will always go to calls for service but in between those calls for service, patrol will stop at as many sites as they can.”

The crime prevention unit, along with the department

Each event site will provide different activities ranging

from potlucks, barbeques, craft booths, jump houses, along with community resource booths. All events sites are family friendly for all ages.

“It’s inexpensive. It’s cost effective. This is one of the best things that you could do to encourage safety in your neighborhood. Get to know your neighbors,” said Le. “The more community involvement opportunities they take, the safer our community is going to be.”

This year’s larger scale celebrations will take place at Murdock Park, Seven Trees Community Center, St. James Park, and Poco Way Community Center, Mayfair Community Center, along with many other local parks and community centers. For more information, visit:

aMeRiCan DiaBeteS aSSoCiation People of Hispanic and Latino origin are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes and related cardiometabolic abnormalities, but the risk varies considerably among specific ethnic groups and other factors, such as the length of time they have been living in the United States, according to two studies and an accompanying commentary being published in the august issue of Diabetes Care. a separate study also published in the august issue found that job strain is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes in both men and women, independent of lifestyle factors.

Prevalence of Diabetes Among Hispanics/Latinos Researchers have long known that people of Hispanic/Latino background are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes than non-Hispanic Caucasians. However, most research has looked at this group as a whole, rather than as a number of different populations. there are more than 50 million Hispanics/Latinos currently living in the United States, making up about 16 percent of the population. the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that by 2050, one in three people living in the United States will be of His-

panic/Latino origin, including such diverse subgroups as Puerto Rican, Mexican, Cuban, Central and South americans. But, wrote the authors of a commentary being published in this issue of Diabetes Care, “the differences in diabetes and obesity prevalence among Latino subgroups are masked when all individuals are combined into a single group.” the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SoL) was launched by the national Heart, Lung and Blood institute in part to fill in knowledge gaps regarding the prevalence and development of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, among the diverse members of these populations. it found considerable diversity among Hispanic/ Latino groups when it comes to the prevalence of diabetes, as well as a low rate of diabetes awareness, diabetes control and health insurance. the study found that the prevalence of total diabetes (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) among all Hispanic/ Latino groups was roughly 16.9 percent for both men and women, compared to 10.2 percent for non-Hispanic whites.

finding of improved diabetes awareness among those who have insurance suggests that increasing the number of those insured may help flatten the gradient.” “if there are

From weekend backyard barbeques to spontaneous weeknight gatherings, summer is filled with celebrations that bring friends and family together for fabulous food, drink and fun. Whether you’re unsure of what wines to serve as the host, or the best refreshment to pick as a guest, you don’t have to be a master sommelier to choose the perfect wine pairing for every meal or occasion.

As a general rule, nature has color-coded foods with the wines best suited for their flavors. For example, white wines pair well with light foods, while dark wines usually complement richer fare. Here are some more specific scenarios to help you enjoy the warm weather and good times ahead this summer.

(FAMILY FEATURES)

Wedding Showers and Celebrations Long summer days are a great time to celebrate big life events — like wedding showers and house-warming parties. Because many of these soirees include an assortment of foods, there are several routes you can take to discover the perfect wine pairing. For guests enjoying fresh, fruit salad or tilapia with a mango salsa, consider an herbaceous sauvignon blanc which will complement the fruit flavors with its crisp acidity. For those who prefer a more floral wine, a viognier may be the answer to go alongside any grilled chicken or seafood dish.

Al Fresco Events Summer is often marked by cookouts, picnics and other al fresco dining occasions. A top choice among many guests is a vibrant, flavorful glass of chardonnay. This favorite white wine pairs well with crisp summer salads and lighter grilled selections, such as salmon and shrimp entrees.

Summer Barbeques and Daytime Events If a sunny, mid-day get together is in your future, there is one delicious pairing option to consider. For hosts who plan to serve a grilled selection, such as pork chops or saucy, smoky ribs, consider pairing the menu with an expressive and fruit forward red blend. A sultry mosaic of French varieties, the wine focuses on Syrah and Malbec with aromas of ripe raspberry and bold black cherry. Hints of spice and dark chocolate deliver a smooth, lingering finish, so this red blend will also complement a grilled steak or any other red meat favorite.

No matter what festivities are booked on your summer calendar, this season is full of delightful sips for every event.

Porciones: 12 12 jalapeños grandes, sin semillas y abiertos al medio (pero no por completo) 1/2 taza de mantequilla de maní 1 taza de pollo cocido, picado 1paquete de 3 onzas de trozos de tocino cocido 1/2 taza de queso cheddar rallado 1/4 taza de mayonesa 1 taza de copos de maíz molidos Precaliente el horno a 350 °F. En un tazón mediano, coloque los jalapeños y cubra con agua hirviendo durante 2 minutos. Escúrralos y séquelos.

(FAMILY FEATURES) Las cocinas, cafeterías y restaurantes de todo el país coinciden en que nuestras preferencias alimenticias locales pueden ser únicas y que nuestras tradiciones culinarias pueden ser variadas, pero todos compartimos un nexo común: nos encanta la mantequilla de maní.

Para celebrar los sabores únicos de costa a costa y encontrar las mejores recetas locales con mantequilla de maní, Southern Peanut Growers organizó su primer concurso de recetas regionales PB My Way (nuestras preferencias en mantequilla de maní).

Los amantes de la mantequilla de maní de todo el país presentaron sus recetas, desde pimientos picantes rellenos (sudoeste) hasta exquisitas barras de chocolate (noreste). A continuación, encontrará las mejores recetas regionales de “Los Estados Unidos de la Mantequilla de Maní”.

En un tazón mediano, mezcle la mantequilla de maní, el pollo, el tocino y el queso. Rellene cada jalapeño con la mezcla. Unte cada jalapeño con mayonesa, y hágalo rodar sobre los copos de maíz en un plato poco profundo.

Coloque los jalapeños sobre una placa antiadherente para horno. Lleve al horno precalentado hasta dorar (de 15 a 20 minutos).

SAN JOSE POLICE DEPARTMENT New Driving Licenses Scams targeting the Immigrant Community The San José Police Department wants to warn the community on scams targeting victims that want to obtain a California driver license for non documented drivers.

Several other states have issued driving licenses to the non documented drivers and now with the passing of AB 60, California will be issuing licenses. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is not issuing licenses until Jan 1, 2015.

Beware of the Scams:

1. Some criminals are asking for up to $1,000 each person to obtain a legal license.

2. Beware of agents claiming that they can help you by paying a fee. Some criminals are posing as DMV personnel, and lawyers with licenses. These imposters are illegally charging for services and licenses.

3. Beware of false DMV websites or “How to get a California license” web pages. The official website is www.dmv. ca.gov.

4. Criminals are selling false documents to prove birth dates, and residency to present to the Department Motor Vehicle.

5. If you are a victim or know of anyone who is criminally involved please call 911 or contact Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-STOP.

How to obtain a license:

1. Written Test: Pass a 36 question test. You can prepare and study the California Driver Handbook which is available in ten languages. www.dmv. ca.gov 2. Take Practice Test: Sample tests can be found on the DMV website.

3. Proper documents: Prepare all your documents to demonstrate the Department of Motor Vehicle when applying for your license that proves your residency and verify your identity.

4. Make an Appoint for your license test. Can make a appoint on line or call DMV customer service at (800) 777-0133 For more information on Crime Prevention tips please visit www.sjpd.org

the portrait. These collaborations of faces, images and even texts have not always been Sam’s style, but as I learned, this combination became what his art is.

His sketches ranged from portraits infused with famous pop figures, like Kanye West, the cast of the Mario Bros. video games, to straightforward portraits of people. The realism in their faces makes it difficult to assess whether they’re actual people or faces from Sam’s imagination. Either way the eclectic mix of guests at the dark but lively gallery certainly seemed to enjoy the vibes.

“I’ve practiced and studied art in other cities, I was originally from San José and I’m born and raised there, after getting a feel for what’s out there I decided to come back here and establish myself as an artist.”

One of the first portraits that one came across was of UFW leader Cesar Chavez with the “huelga eagle” mixed into

“Now a lot of the art scene is globalized. You’re able to practice where you’re from but still share with the world

Rodríguez, a local San José artist, held a sketch gallery Called “A Night of Fortune” where 100 of his pieces were exhibited at the MACLA Art Space in downtown San José.

It was sponsored by Miller Fortune and Complex magazine.

through social media.” This aspect of globalization was present in the gallery opening. Not only was the crowd diverse, the sketches themselves, although rooted in Sam’s style, were a melting pot of ideas and cultures.

He came from a graffiti background which then turned into a passion for portraits and lettering. From there Sam moved on to graphic design. He practiced these different forms of art separately, “just because I thought they needed to be separated.”

What occurred was a synthesis of all his artistic backgrounds into a style which is urban, worldly, and ultimately gave him a unique voice and visual aesthetic.

“The idea that these images are rooted in, I think that the idea is, the reason that I choose portraits is because I’m interested in people and how people came to be.

Just being a Latino there’s so much layer and so much mixture.” To Sam when it comes to juxtaposition the Latino culture is one of those

that mixes so many traditions, stories and flavors.

Whether from the homeland or a Chicano from the Bay, there is a mixture that defines our heritage.

For Sam the deciding factor to become an artist was a trip to Brazil, where he made a few small paintings. One of these, that of a stylized man looking up into the sky, was the catalyst of becoming a full-fledged artist. That was in his opinion his best work, the pivotal moment because it motivated him to go all in.

Now his ambitions are to work on bringing more art to the streets of San José, in particular street installations.

He feels that there is a need for the community to enjoy art that is accessible, and not everyone will have the resources to go into a gallery or art show to see art. “Going out [around the world] has helped me appreciate the qualities of the people here.

There’s a lot that you can learn from your own backyard.”

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com “the ocean is like a plastic soup, bulked up with the croutons of these larger items,” Charles Moore, the captain who discovered an ocean trash gyre roughly the size of texas swirling around in the deep ocean currents between Hawaii and California, told the associated Press. “it’s like a toilet bowl that swirls but doesn’t flush,” he added. Moore’s “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” is one of five such debris vortexes in the world’s oceans. Last april, searchers for MH370 stumbled onto the eastern edge of one of them in the indian ocean, at first mistaking some of the larger bobbing objects for airplane wreckage.

Charles Moore, the captain who discovered an ocean trash gyre roughly the size of Texas swirling around in the ocean between Hawaii and California, told the Associated Press: “It’s like a toilet bowl that swirls but doesn’t flush.”

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss eaRtHtaLK the so-far in-vain search for Flight 370 has indeed stirred up interest in the growing problem of ocean debris as objects thought to possibly be plane parts have repeatedly turned out to be just floating trash.

While this floating flotsam may be a time-wasting distraction for MH370 searchers, green leaders are worried about it for other reasons. according to the U.S. environmental Protection agency (ePa), trash and other ocean debris can cause direct harm to wildlife that ingests or gets caught in it and can break or suffocate coral reefs that are key habitat for many of the world’s marine species.

Marine debris can also contribute to the movement of harmful invasive species that hitch rides from one body of water to another. another issue is that so much marine debris is comprised of plastic, much of which takes hundreds of years to break down and ends up in the digestive systems of everything from whales to plankton, including much of the seafood that ends up on our dinner plates. the 2011 report, “Plastic Debris in the California Marine ecosystem,” by the California ocean Science trust, California ocean Protection Council and Sea Grant found that plastic debris in the ocean not only leaches some chemical pollutants that were added during manufacture but also absorbs and accumulates others. this includes many persistent organic pollutants (so-called PoPs that have been used extensively for things like pest control, crop production and industrial manufacturing) from surrounding seawater and marine sediments. these PoPs have been linked to population declines, diseases and behavioral or physical abnormalities in many wildlife species. Researchers are still not sure how these chemicals, as well as others (Bisphenol a, phthalates, phenanthrene, etc.) may affect marine ecosystems in the long run. in the meantime, we can all play a role in reducing the amount of plastic and other debris that end up in our oceans. “the most effective way to stop plastic pollution in our oceans is to make sure it never reaches the water in the first place,” says the natural Resources Defense Council (nRDC), a leading environmental non-profit. according to the group, individuals need to take care to recycle and never litter, while manufacturers should reducing packaging and design more of it to be fully recyclable. nRDC and others are also working on the legislative front to try to institutionalize such measures.

Además estará Cynthia Rodríguez y Ese Wey, un comediante que “se ha hecho dentro de los medios subterráneos de la comunicación, se ha hecho en blogs, en canales de YouTube, a través del stand up que es un género que se está haciendo mucho en México”, concluyó De Anda.

La actriz regiomontana suma 33 años de trayectoria (Notimex) En sus más de 30 años de trayectoria artística, Érika Buenfil nunca ha participado en una telenovela de época, lo cual sería su máximo sueño.

“Ojalá para la próxima que vayan a hacer me den aunque sea un papel chiquito. Tengo muchas ganas de usar esos vestidotes”, declaró la actriz, quien suma 33 años en el oficio.

No ha procurado un festejo en especial porque asegura que todos los días ya son una celebración, sólo por el simple hecho de continuar trabajando.

“Afortunadamente sigo vigente y con grandes proyectos, eso es lo más importante”, destacó la intérprete de “Fela” en la telenovela “La Gata”, que ha logrado buena aceptación del público en el horario de las 16:15 horas por el Canal 2 de Televisa.

no obstante el cambio drástico, pues luego de verla como una mujer adinerada en “Amores verdaderos” (2012), hasta hace unos días lucía como una pepenadora que vivía en el basurero.

“Yo tenía duda, pero este reverso de la moneda lo han recibido muy bien y la verdad, había que sorprender al publico con otra cosa en la que no me pareciera”.

Aunque se ha desempeñado en varios personajes en el curso de su carrera, Érika Buenfil dice que todos han sido en televisión y le gustaría que algún día le llamaran

para hacer cine, otra de sus asignaturas pendientes, pues hace varios años que no camina por ese sendero.

“Ojalá pensaran en mí. Lo que pasa es que son dos géneros distintos, son como dos vidas, dos familias y mundos diferentes. Quizá como estoy tan activa en tele a lo mejor no me doy el tiempo de buscar algo en cine”.

Al concluir en octubre las grabaciones de “La Gata”, la actriz ya tiene contemplado regresar al teatro donde el año pasado hizo el monólogo “Volver al amor”, bajo la producción de Rubén Lara.

El originario de Berja, procedente del descendido Real Betis es una de las 13 altas que presentarán los “periquitos” para el ciclo 2014-2015.

“Yo soy de los que creo que en la Liga hay que pensar en cada jornada y luego, en la siguiente y así ir sumando puntos. Hemos de sumar muchos para llegar a las últi-

“No va a afectar tanto cambio, hay una base sólida, que lleva muchos años trabajando, poco a poco vamos ir cogiendo confianza. Tenemos la misma ambición”, comentó en conferencia de prensa esta mañana.

Rodríguez espera tener más minutos de juego con el técnico Luis Enrique a quien conoce bien: “No ha cambiado, sigue siendo un gran entrenador con la misma filosofía de siempre, intenso en el aspecto físico”.

“En el Barza siempre se lucha por un puesto. Cada año siempre hay fichajes, siempre he tenido una competencia muy dura. Luis Suárez es un gran jugador y seguramente voy a aprender mucho de él”.

Este es el sexto año que Pedro forma parte de la primera plantilla y aclaró que habló

“con Zubizarreta (director general deportivo de la entidad) y me dijo que contaban con mis servicios”.

Desde que se desempeña como delantero del primer equipo, “Pedrito” ha jugado 252 partidos oficiales y en los que ha marcado 87 tantos.

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Un día después de haber firmado un acuerdo integral para combatir el cambio climático con el Gobierno de México, el Gobernador Edmund G. Brown Jr. firmó hoy un acuerdo con el Secretario de Energía de México, Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, para promover las inversiones transfronterizas en energías renovables.

“Tanto California como México se toman muy en serio el mandato de reducción de carbono”, dijo el Gobernador Brown. “A través de este acuerdo, procuraremos trabajar juntos para incrementar significativamente las inversiones en materia de energía solar, eólica y otras fuentes de energía renovable”.

AUGUST 1-7, 2014

El acuerdo refleja el compromiso de México y California de trabajar juntos para promover la eficiencia energética y la energía renovable.

Entre otras cosas, el acuerdo establece que California y México trabajen juntos en materia de desarrollo de tecnologías con baja emisión de carbono, biocombustibles y eficiencia energética para mejorar la fiabilidad y la asequibilidad de los suministros energéticos.

El gobernador anunció por primera vez la Misión de Comercio e Inversiones a México en su discurso sobre la Situación del Estado 2014 y se reunió con los Cónsules Generales de México en distintas ciudades de California en marzo. La semana pasada, en anticipación al viaje, el

gobernador Brown se reunió con el secretario de Relaciones Exteriores de México, José Antonio Meade Kuribreña en Sacramento e invitó al presidente de México Enrique Peña Nieto a reunirse durante el transcurso de este año en California.

En esta Misión de Comercio e Inversiones, el gobernador Brown va acompañado por una delegación de legisladores estatales y altos funcionarios de gobierno. La misión también está integrada por una delegación organizada por la Cámara de Comercio de California con la ayuda de la Fundación de California para el Comercio y la Educación, conformada por aproximadamente 90 empresarios, líderes en desarrollo económico, inversiones y política de todo California.
