En su odisea por conseguir trabajo, cualquier trabajo, muchos jóvenes adultos sacrifican los que solían llamarse “beneficios adicionales” para abrirse paso. Pero muchos trabajos para principiantes no ofrecen beneficios de salud, o lo que debe pagar el empleado es prohibitivo para el que apenas gana el sueldo mínimo.

ity of families to access health care, obtain quality jobs, own their own homes, and pursue the AMERICAN DREAM. Here are the five reasons Latinos should vote in November:

JANET MURGUIA, PRESIDENT & CEO, NATIONAL CONCILIO DE LA RAZA (NCLR) All elections matter. This November 4, 2014, Americans will choose governors in 36 states, elect the entire House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate, select a great majority of the state legislatures, and decide who will represent them in hundreds of local elections. The decisions these officials make will impact the lives of Latinos across the country on issues ranging from the quality of our children’s education to the abil-

SUPERVISOR DAVE CORTESE Last year, there were 26 fatalities involving pedestrians and bicyclists in San Jose, and there have been 16 so far this year. Almost all of them were on major roads and at busy intersections, and some near schools.

Even one fatality is too many, especially when we have the resources to make our walkways safer.

OPINION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

OCTOBER 17-23, 2014

REASON #1: (AVAILABLE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE) Millions of Latinos still lack health insurance.

Health care reform created a historic opportunity to extend health (insurance) coverage to millions of Latinos, but fully realizing the potential of the Afffordable Care Act 2010 (ObamaCare) will require greater actions from state officals. Helping Latinos obtain health insurance will depend upon electing state leaders committed to the health of the Hispanic community.

REASON #2: (A LIVING WAGE SCALE) Latino workers need a raise. Forty-three per cent of Latino workers live on poverty-level wages. The current minimum wage of $7.25 per hour is not enough to keep a single parent with one child out of poverty. Congress has introduced-but has not

So in September, the Housing, Land Use, Environment and Transportation Committee that I chair voted to recommend that Santa Clara County spend its reserve of $389,980 on deploying crossing guards or installing safety devices at intersections that we think are the most dangerous for pedestrians and bicyclists. Supervisor Mike Wasserman, who is also on this committee, gave his approval.

Since 2001, the County has contracted with San Jose and Cupertino to provide crossing guards near schools in Cupertino and the Burbank and Alum Rock areas of San Jose. The County pays about $79,000 a year for this service.

At my request, the Roads and Airports Department

yet passed legislation to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 (per hour), which would make it easier for approximately 6.8 (impoverished) millions of Latinos, nearly one-quarter of the Hispanic work force, to take care of their families.

Dozens of States are also considering increasing their own minimum wages.

REASON #3: (HOME OWNERSHIP; AFFORDABLE HOUSING) Hardworking Hispanic families deserve a chance to own their own homes (which is basic to having their own wealth and security in their own home equity).

While 65% of all Americans are home owners, fewer than 45% of Hispanics own their own homes. Members of Congress have been debating changes to housing finance laws that could make it easier (or more difficult) for Latinos to get mortgages.

to attend schools with fewer resources, less experienced teachers, and lower academic standards. Dozens of States have adopted policies requiring that all students be taught to the same rigorous standards, and that schools (and their officials) are held acountable for ensuring student success. These policies, known as the Common Core State Standards, are heavily criticized by conservative and liberal groups alike. The Common Core represents a unique opportunity to ensure that Latino children are ready for college, career, and life. Elected school board members and state officials will decide whether the new standards are upheld in many areas of the country; they hold the future of our children in their hands. (As constituents who elected them, you may effectively hold them accountable.)

REASON #4: (EDUCATION & JOB SKILLS TRAINING) Latino students deserve better schools. Hispanic students are more likely than others

REASON #5: (INACTION ON IMMIGRATION REFORM) is devastating Latino communities. Congressional inaction on reform, combined with record-setting deporta-

is studying other “hot spots” that might warrant extra protection. The department is studying 22 intersections at County Expressways and Monterey Highway that might warrant extra measures to protect pedestrians in unincorporated areas that straddle a County Expressway.

Besides the analysis to determine intersections that would benefit from crossing guards, the Department is looking into an automatic pedestrian detection system that could be used at expressway intersections. This technology, which costs about $35,000 per intersection to implement, will detect pedestrians in a crosswalk and automatically adjust the signal timing to give them more time to cross.

The next report on these safety measures will be the HLUET Committee’s meeting at 10 a.m. on Thursday, November 20, in the Board of Supervisors’ Chambers at the County Government Center, 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose.

The County contracts with the City of San Jose to staff crossing guards at 11 expressway intersections where children must cross to get to school. Even though expressways have traffic signals at intersections, the width of the roads and the heavy traffic volumes may qualify them for added protection for pedestrians. The County operates eight expressways: Almaden, Capitol, Central, Foothill, Lawrence, Montague, Oregon and San Tomas.

tions, has torn apart millions of families and devastated the social fabric of American communities. Strong Latino (citizen) participation in this 2014 election is needed to ensure that Congress finishes the job of enacting Comprehensive Immigraion Reform, or that the President takes executive action to provide relief to our communities. (Especially their homeless families).

To change our community and the country for the better, (plan to) vote on Tuesday, November 4, 2014.

ADDITIONAL REASONS (per Publisher Hilbert Morales): REASON #6: (COMPREHENSIVE IRS TAX REFORM) is needed to sunset or eliminate the many forms of subsidies, tax loopholes, and tax avoidance practices which end up burdening those who earn less than $250,000 per year.

REASON #7: (EDUCATION FUNDING REFORM) at local, state, and federal levels

Though San Jose has the highest fatality rate in the County, the study is looking at all our Expressways. To view a list on your computer, type in this address:http:// bit.ly/1rBuOqM, and then let me know what you think about safety at these intersections or if there are

EDUCATION

Libros centrados en trabajo e Hispanos tales como “Latino Americans” de Ray Suarez o “Traqueros: Mexican Railroad Workers in the United States” de Jeffrey Marcos Garcilazo, están siendo destacados dentro de la iniciativa de literatura laboral del Departamento de Trabajo de EE.UU. Books that Shaped Work in America con motivo del Mes de la Herencia Hispana.

El proyecto busca involucrar al público en la misión del Departamento de Trabajo y en la historia de América como nación de trabajadores mediante un compendio de obras literarias pertinentes y alusivas a la materia. La iniciativa sirve a manera de biblioteca online donde todo tipo de personas pueden

compartir libros que les han informado sobre ocupaciones y carreras, que les han ayudado a moldear su visión sobre el trabajo y que elevan la conversación sobre trabajo, trabajadores y lugares de empleo.

“El proyecto Books that Shaped Work in America reflexiona sobre la promesa de oportunidad para todos los trabajadores”, dijo Carl Fillichio, principal asesor de comunicaciones e información pública del Departamento.

“Para la realización de esta promesa es que celebramos y reconocemos las contribuciones que los trabajadores Hispanos han hecho desde un primer momento para el éxito de nuestro país”.Las nuevas incorporaciones a la lista, incluidos “From Cov-

eralls to Zoot Suits” de Elizabeth R. Escobedo, y “The Power of Latino Leadership” de Juana Borda, elogian el papel de los trabajadores Hispanos en la construcción de nuestra nación.

Estos libros buscan que se reconozca a los trabajadores Hispanos como miembros importantes de la fuerza laboral y abogan por la prosperidad de todos los trabajadores. Por ejemplo, la obra “Working in the Shadows”, de Gabriel Thompson, revela un lado pocas veces visto y ampliamente ignorado de la economía Americana; uno donde trabajadores agrícolas Hispanos están sujetos a condiciones peligrosas y expuestos a fuertes labores físicamente debilitantes y cuyos frutos son degustados por la

mayoría de los Americanos sin mayor deferencia o consideración por aquellos que los cosecharon.

El trabajo, igual que nuestra nación, evoluciona continuamente, y eso mismo pasa con Books that Shaped Work in America. En sus comienzos, 24 individuos, incluidos el Secretario de Tra-

Katherine Tam UC NEWSROOM Undocumented UC students who qualify for in-state tuition, but are ineligible for federal assistance, soon will be able to borrow up to $4,000 a year to make up the shortfall, thanks to a new law supported by the University of California and state legislators.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislative bill SB 1210 last week, creating the new California DREAM Loan Program. The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Ricardo Lara, and supported by both UC and the California State University system.

“Giving undocumented students the same access to financial aid as other students can improve their chances of academic success, and help them reach their dream of a college degree and a brighter future,” said UC President Janet Napolitano. “By investing in our students, we are investing in California.”

About 2,000 undocumented undergraduate students are enrolled at UC. They

A DREAM loan program could affect the 2,000 undocumented students in the UC system

typically are the first in their families to attend college and come from low-income households.

Under existing state law, undocumented students who graduate from a California high school and meet other eligibility requirements under the California Dream Act, can pay in-state tuition at UC and CSU, and are eligible for state and university financial aid. But they do not qualify for federal assistance, and that lack of eligibility for federally sponsored financial aid virtually eliminates their access to student loans.

The California DREAM Loan Program aims to close that gap. It establishes campus loan programs at UC and

CSU that allow undocumented students to borrow up to $4,000 per academic year, with a maximum of $20,000 from any one campus.

Repaid loans will go back into the pool for future loans, eventually creating a self-sustaining program with income from the repayment of principal, interest and fees offsetting administrative costs.

The first-year cost for the state and UC is an estimated $3.1 million each, starting in the 2015-16 fiscal year, and $3.6 million the following year. That amount eventually would decline until the program becomes self-supporting.

Como era de esperarse, una pujante industria ha surgido para proteger a los consumidores contra el robo de identidad. La mayoría de estos servicios son bastante caros y muchas organizaciones defensoras del consumidor sostienen que no hacen más de lo que fácilmente podemos hacer nosotros mismos en forma gratuita. Pero si usted no tiene el tiempo o los medios, tal vez desee contratar a un profesional que lo ayude.

hacerse antes de contratarlos: El seguro contra el robo de identidad se suele ofrecer como un adicional en los seguros de propietarios o inquilinos y suelen costar entre $25 y $60 por año. Nota: no evita que le ocurra, en primer lugar, ni tampoco cubre las pérdidas monetarias directas provocadas por el robo de identidad, sino que simplemente le reembolsa los costos asociados con el reclamo de su identidad financiera (ej. llamadas telefónicas, fotocopias, envío de documentos por correo, lucro cesante por resolver el caso y la contratación de un abogado).

alizada tendrá? ¿Le asignarán a alguien que siga su caso y lo represente o simplemente le darán una lista de cosas que debe hacer?

Preguntas que debe hacerse: * ¿Cuáles son los límites de la póliza? * ¿Hay deducibles? * Si cubre el lucro cesante, ¿qué límites se aplican y qué dispara la cobertura? * Si cubre los honorarios legales, ¿qué límites se aplican? ¿la aseguradora debe preaprobar el trabajo? * ¿Cuánta asistencia person-

Los servicios de monitoreo de crédito rastrean sus informes crediticios y se contactan con usted cuando detectan cambios importantes –cuentas nuevas abiertas a su nombre, cambios de domicilio, consultas de crédito y aumento de los límites de crédito. Suelen costar entre $10 y $30 por mes y los servicios que ofrecen son muy variados. Por ejemplo:

virus y cifrado de pulsaciones de teclas. * Algunos ofrecen una o más calificaciones crediticias gratis (o a bajo costo).

Cuando piense en contratar el monitoreo de crédito, tenga en cuenta lo siguiente: * Muchos acreedores reportan información a las tres agencias crediticias principales, pero algunos solo reportan a una, por lo que sus tres informes pueden contener información diferente. * Como muchos prestamis-

tas solo reportan a las agencias de crédito una vez por mes, su servicio de monitoreo podría tardar varias semanas en detectar conductas fraudulentas. * Averigüe cómo le notificarán los cambios sospechosos (por correo electrónico, mensaje de texto y/o correo) y con qué frecuencia (a diario, semanalmente, mensualmente). * Puede solicitar una copia gratuita de cada informe crediticio en www.annualcreditreport.com por año. De esta manera, si los va intercalando, podría tener un informe diferente cada cuatro meses.

Esto hará que las empresas deban verificar su identidad con usted antes de abrir cuentas nuevas.

Si sabe, o teme, que alguna cuenta suya pueda estar comprometida pero no quiere bloquear totalmente el acceso a sus informes crediticios a través de un congelamiento de crédito, puede colocar en forma gratuita una alerta de fraude inicial por 90 días en las tres agencias crediticias.

En resumen: ¿Desea monitorear su propio crédito (que es gratis pero lleva tiempo) o quiere delegar esta tarea en un tercero pagando cientos de dólares? De cualquiera de las dos formas, asegúrese de hacerlo.

Puede renovar la alerta después de los 90 días. Si no quiere molestarse en recordarlo, algunos servicios de monitoreo la pueden renovar por usted cobrándole un cargo.

Talk of fake hazmat suits for Halloween has hit social media.

Will it spark the next trend of “in” costumes?

nacidos entre las 39 y 40 semanas.

Los Institutos Nacionales de la Salud (NIH, por sus siglas en inglés) y grupos médicos destacados tienen noticias importantes para las futuras mamás. Un embarazo no está a “término completo” hasta las 39 semanas. Las investigaciones muestran que dar a luz entre las 39 ó 40 semanas es lo mejor para su bebé.

Nuevas definiciones

Por definición, los bebés nacidos entre las 37 y 42 semanas se consideran bebés “a término”. Sin embargo, debido a riesgos de salud para los bebés nacidos antes de las 39 semanas, los NIH apoyan las nuevas definiciones de parto entre las 37 y 42 semanas.

• Término temprano: bebés nacidos entre las 37 y 38 semanas.

• Término completo: bebés

Breanna Edwards NAM Cultural appropriation and various forms of blackface are usually what’s dredged up from the place of all things offensive and tacky for Halloween, but this year’s Ebola outbreak seems to be attracting the attention of trick-ortreaters looking to up their game when it comes to the distasteful.

According to the Associated Press, fake protective gear like hazmat suits and respirators is all the rage on social media, particularly Twitter, and the specter of partygoers dressed as Ebola zombies for Halloween is rubbing some the wrong way.

The deadly virus, which has killed more than 4,000 in West Africa, recently made its way to the U.S. through now-deceased patient Thomas Eric Duncan. It is believed that Duncan, a Liberian resident, contracted the disease while helping a neighbor. He

then made the trek from Liberia to visit family in Dallas, where he became ill. After Duncan’s death, it was discovered that a Dallas nurse who had treated him was diagnosed with the disease.

“Normally I think that irony and humor is funny, but this thing with the costumes, is it really that funny? I mean, Ebola’s not even under control yet,” Philadelphia physician’s assistant Maria McKenna told AP, adding that the idea “definitely rubs [her] the wrong way.”

According to the news wire, after many Halloween celebrants got over last year’s significantly less inflammatory Breaking Bad meth-lab phase, retailers had tons of hazmat-style costumes that could be “repurposed” for Ebola-themed costumes.

However, the news wire says it’s still not clear that this will actually be a thing.

“I wouldn’t say we can see an uptick in sales. I’d say it’s still

chugging along because it’s a good seller no matter what,” Richard Parrott, president of costume seller Ricky’s NYC, told AP regarding sales of Breaking Bad outfits. “But people are definitely asking about an Ebola-type costume.”

Parrott acknowledges that the retailer had considered selling an Ebola costume and donating some of the proceeds toward finding a cure, but in the end it was decided that “it probably crosses a line that we don’t want to cross,” he said.

However, according to AP, such concerns did not deter costume seller Brands on Sale, which peddles the “Ebola Containment Suit Costume” online for $79.99.

“You are sure to be prepared if any outbreak happens at your Halloween party. This will literally be the most ‘viral’ costume of the year,” the description raves.

• Término tardío: bebés nacidos en la semana 41.

• Postérmino: bebés nacidos en la semana 42 o más adelante.

¿ Por qué es importante?

Las últimas semanas del embarazo hacen la diferencia en la salud del bebé. Los bebés nacidos antes de las 39 semanas tienen mayores posibilidades de ser transferidos a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales (NICU, por sus siglas en inglés) y de tener problemas para respirar, comer o controlar su temperatura. También pueden tener un mayor riesgo de tener problemas de aprendizaje y dificultades en la visión y la audición.

menos las 39 semanas, en un embarazo saludable, da a su bebé el tiempo necesario para crecer. Durante las semanas 37 y 38, el cerebro forma las conexiones que serán importantes para la coordinación, el movimiento y el aprendizaje. El desarrollo de los pulmones, el hígado y el cerebro también es importante durante las últimas semanas del embarazo.

¿ Dónde puede aprender más?

First Detection of Insect in Santa Clara County

SANTA CLARA COUNTY The Santa Clara County Agricultural Commissioner, in cooperation with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is beginning an extensive survey in response to the detection of Asian citrus psyllids (ACP) in the City of San Jose near Kelly Park. This is the first detection of ACP in Santa Clara County and the Bay Area.

The ACP were detected in a residential neighborhood near Phelan Avenue and Roberts Avenue in San Jose.

Treatment activities will be

‣The citrus psyllid carries tree disease; the last known detection was in 2012

carried out on all citrus plants surrounding the sites where the insects were trapped.

Residents in the treatment area will be notified in advance of any activity. Additionally, an increased number of traps have been deployed and a visual survey is ongoing on the surrounding properties in an attempt to determine if there is an infestation.

“The Asian citrus psyllid is a dangerous pest of citrus,” said Joe Deviney, Santa Clara

County Agricultural Commissioner. “We’re working to determine the full extent of this infestation so that we can protect our state’s vital citrus industry as well as our backyard citrus trees. We want to emphasize citrus is safe to eat and the disease is not harmful to human health. Working together we can prevent the harm this invasive species can cause.”

The ACP is an invasive species of grave concern because it can carry the disease huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening. All citrus and closely related species are susceptible hosts for both the insect and the disease. There is no cure once a tree becomes infected. The diseased tree will decline in health and produce bitter, misshaped fruit until it dies. HLB has been detected just once in Califor-

nia – in 2012 on a single residential property in Hacienda Heights, Los Angeles County.

HLB is present in Mexico and in parts of the southern U.S. Florida first detected ACP in 1998 and the disease in 2005, and the two have now been detected in all 30 citrus-producing counties in that state.

The University of Florida estimates the disease has tallied more than 6,600 lost jobs, $1.3 billion in lost revenue to growers and $3.6 billion in lost economic activity.

Residents in the area who think they may have seen the pest are urged to call the Pest Hotline at 1-800-4911899. For more information on the Asian citrus psyllid and huanglongbing disease, please visit: www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/acp .

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSÉ San Jose has experienced a significant decrease in violent gang-related incidents since the beginning of the year.

San Jose Police Department data for January to September 2014 shows that violent gang-related incidents have dropped over 70 percent since January. The data, available online, will be presented to the Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force on Friday October 24, 2014 at 7:45 a.m. in Committee Room 118 in the San Jose City Hall wing. The meetings are open to the public.

San Jose had the lowest rate of violent crimes of big cities (over 500,000 population) in America in 2011 and again in 2012 and the first half of 2013. For property crimes, the City had the sixth-lowest rate among the more than 30 cities with populations of 500,000 or more based on data for the first half of 2013, the most recent Uniform Crime Report data.

According to the report: •The monthly total for reported violent gang-related incidents of all types dropped

COMMUNITY

from 28 in January to 8 in September.

•Gang-related homicides dropped from 1 in the month of January to 0 in September.

•Gang-related robberies dropped from 8 in January to 1 in September.

•Gang-related aggravated assaults dropped from 19 in January to 7 in September.

•Gang-related rape was at 0 in both months.

Mayor Chuck Reed has released the following statement: “These excellent results are a testament to the hard work of the men and women of the San José Police Department under the leadership of Chief Larry Esquivel and the many community members and organizations who make up the Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force. The Department has responded to problems creatively and redeployed resources effectively while the Task Force members excel in collaborating with our department and are big contributors to

reducing gang related crime.

The U.S. Department of Justice has recognized San Jose’s gang prevention program as one of the best in the country. The positive relationship our police department has with our community is what makes our success possible.”

Overall, serious crime has declined since January 2012 The success in reducing gang crime has contributed to the City’s overall decrease in serious crimes since 2012.

San Jose Police Department data for the first half of 2014 shows: •Total serious crimes of all types dropped by 9.1% from January to June of 2014 (over the same period in 2013). That drop builds on a 10.3% decrease for calendar year 2013.

•Homicides dropped by 20.8% in the first six months of 2014. In 2013, homicides declined by 15.6% over 2012.

•Violent crimes in San José in 2013 were at the secondlowest level in a decade.

With less than three weeks until the November 4th General Election, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters’ Office is still in need of over 900 people to staff its polling places on Election Day. This election requires staffing 834 polling locations in 9 languages throughout the county.

Volunteers are paid a stipend of $95.00 or more, and those who are bilingual also earn an extra stipend. Bilingual Election Officers must be fluent in English and one of the following languages: Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, or one of the newly added languages, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, or Korean.

Supporting more languages puts the county in need of

more volunteers. In addition to seeking 126 Inspectors and 250 Clerks, the County is still requesting assistance in recruiting over 500 Bilingual Election Officers.

“We are trying to build partnerships and serve more communities than ever before, but we need the community’s help. It’s important to make sure that voters who need assistance in one of our languages will have someone to help them when they go to the polls. If you have ever considered volunteering, now is the time,” said Shannon Bushey, Registrar of Voters.

Anyone who can spare a day and would like to participate in the democratic process is encouraged to contact the Registrar of Voters’ Office immediately, as remaining training dates are limited.

Election Officers must be ei-

Students at Cristo Rey are immersed in white collar postions which encourage them to look into various career options Photos courtesy of Cristo Rey

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOr A day at Cristo Rey starts off with exercise and food. To prepare the mind and body for the learning and critical thinking process the students undergo, proper activity and energy is needed. This is one of the many distinguishing traits of the Jesuit school,

which opened its doors this year as a college preparatory that aligns itself with the underserved communities in San José. The school is one of 28 in the country and was founded in the low income hispanic community of Pilsen in Chicago.

Located behind Five Wounds Portuguese National Church

on Santa Clara Street; Cristo Rey is nestled around 17 gang hot spots within that region. Bob Couch, both the Chief Operating Officer of Cristo Rey and Director of its Corporate Work Study Program, describes it as such, “A lot of the kids are coming from a tough background, so their vision of the world is narrow. All of a sudden the

world opens up really wide.

The motivation of that work is the thing that is transforming in this whole model.” He adds,“We’re focused on everybody. This is a college prep school, so by the time they get out of here, 100% will get into college. So we have a lot of work to do.”

In just five weeks over a year and a half of learning is done through its blended learning, a mix of traditional instruction and cutting edge technology. This is one of the key components, the other being its work program, where the college prep distinguishes itself.

This hybrid model is an asset according to the principal of Cristo Rey, Joe Albers.

“We don’t want to pull that environment away, because then when they get to college, they’re going to be in that environment where you want them to be able to do both, be able to go between both worlds.”

Math teacher Jessica Flores, one of the 5 instructors at Cristo Rey, worked through the summer to prepare the school for its blended learning curriculum. “As soon as they walk in, every student is on their own pace.” All these students need to work on a common topic, so they get split into groups based on those shared learning topics.

The first ten minutes is teacher instructed word problems,

to practice literacy skills, then its off to the chromebook laptops that the school provides to every student.

For math, an online learning program called ALEKS allows Flores to monitor the students and entire class’ progress (Akin to something like the Khan academy). In Flores’ case, 134 students are seen on the ALEKS site to see what percentile have accomplished certain tasks or mastered lessons. “From my computer I can watch what they’re doing.”

Rev. Peter Pabst, the president of Cristo Rey, knows that the work program is as essential to learning as the fluidity of its student paced blended learning. “Each student is required to work in an entry level white collar position. We have 31 different corporate sponsors who are offering jobs to our kids. They pay $29,000 for the work of a team of 4 students who work for them for about 40 weeks.”

This is equivalent to a fulltime employment position (FTE), which allows the children to work one day a week and go to school the other four. “Nationally, this program brings in over 40 million dollars to help cut the cost of the tuition (it covers about half the cost of tuition).

Parents will pay maybe ten percent. Maybe even a little less.”

The affirmation that the work program is successful for both contributor and student lies in what Pabst has seen so far. “The kids have great jobs, they love doing them. They work at Cisco, Adobe, they work at law firms and accounting firms. So they’re doing lots of different jobs, and the people in the community like them.”

Two of these students are Juan Rodriguez and Aylin Ortega, who were eager to acknowledge the merits of Cristo Rey. Juan works at Catholic Charities helping with different supervisors within the office. Aylin works at De Anza Properties and reports her experiences have been nothing but positive.

Juan described his decision to come to Cristo Rey as such, “My mom thought it was a really good opportunity for me because the schools around where I live weren’t really that good. My cousins would go there but not really learn much. And I think she was right.”

They both agreed on a specific point: what they’ve learned here at Cristo Rey within the last two months is what they believe they’d learn in a whole year at another high school. Aylin best summed it up, “don’t give up. Right now it may seem hard but with Cristo Rey you’ll end up with a good future. If you work hard, the future may be even easier.”

tions already have plastic bag bans or taxes in place.

California made big news recently when it announced the first statewide ban on plastic shopping bags set to kick in during the middle of 2015. Beginning in July, large grocery stores, pharmacies and other food retailers in the Golden State will no longer be able to send shoppers home with plastic bags, while convenience markets, liquor stores and other small food retailers will join the ranks a year later.

But the trend here toward banning plastic shopping bags comes in the wake of new findings regarding the extent and harm of plastic in our environment. Since plastic isn’t biodegradable, it ends up either in landfills or as litter on the landscape and in waterways and the ocean.

Plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose and releases toxins into the soil and water in the process.

Back in 2007, San Francisco became the first U.S. municipality to ban plastic shopping bags. In intervening years upwards of 132 other cities and counties in 18 states and the District of Columbia instituted similar measures. Of course, Americans are late to the party when it comes to banning plastic bags: The European Union, China, India and dozens of other na-

Littered plastic is also a huge problem for the health of wildlife, as many animals ingest it thinking it is food and can have problems thereafter breathing and digesting. The non-profit Worldwatch Institute reports that at least 267 species of marine wildlife are known to have suffered from entanglement or ingestion of marine debris, most of which is composed of plastic;

tens of thousands of whales, birds, seals and turtles die every year from contact with ocean-borne plastic bags. A recent European Commission study on the impact of litter on North Sea wildlife found that some 90 percent of the birds examined had plastic in their stomachs.

Another reason for banning plastic bags is their fossil fuel burden. Plastic is not only made from petroleum—producing it typically requires a lot of fossil-fuel-derived energy. The fact that Americans throw away some 100 billion plastic grocery bags each year means we are drilling for and importing millions of barrels worth of oil and natural gas for a convenient way to carry home a few groceries.

It’s hard to measure the impact of pre-existing plastic bag bans, but some initial findings look promising. A plastic bag tax levied in Ire-

OCTOBER 17-23, 2014

land in 2002 has reportedly led to a 95 percent reduction in plastic bag litter there.

And a study by San Jose, California found that a 2011 ban instituted there has led to plastic litter reduction of “approximately 89 percent in the storm drain system, 60 percent in the creeks and rivers, and 59 percent in City streets and neighborhoods.”

Environmental groups continue to push for more plastic bag bans. “As U.S. natural gas production has surged and prices have fallen, the plastics industry is looking to ramp up domestic production,” reports the Earth Policy Institute. “Yet using this fossil fuel endowment to make something so shortlived, which can blow away at the slightest breeze and pollutes indefinitely, is illogical—particularly when there is a ready alternative: the reusable bag.”

Los festivales solares o Sabbats se han venido celebrando desde épocas remotas, especialmente en las creencias Wicca, religión naturalista que venera a dos divinidades un dios y una diosa quienes representan las energías opuestas pero complementarias de la naturaleza. La luna y el sol son representaciones de ambos dioses que gobiernan lo masculino y femenino presentes en la tierra y el universo. Los ocho festivales encierran en sí fechas místicas y rituales que marcan inicios y finales de una temporada en particular.

When Jane Villanueva was a young girl, her grandmother, Alba, convinced her of two things: telenovelas are the highest form of entertainment, and women must protect their virginity at all costs. Jane is a driven young woman studying to become a teacher, nursing a dream to be a writer, and supporting herself with a job at a The support for the Latino-Oriented show “Cristela” has been almost universal

LOS ANGELES Latino groups from across the nation yesterday announced a mass social media push to encourage audiences to tune in to the series premiere of ABC comedy ‘Cristela’, which features a Latina in a leading role, on Friday, October 10 at 8:30 p.m. / 7:30 p.m. central.

‘Cristela’ stars breakout comedienne Cristela Alonzo as a law student juggling family pressure, while dealing with an attorney boss who makes offensive remarks. In addition to playing a leading role, Alonzo is also the show’s cocreator, co-executive producer, and writer. ‘Cristela’ also features a significantly Latino regular cast, which includes Carlos Ponce, Maria CanalsBarrera, and Terri Hoyos; as well as guest stars Gabriel Iglesias, Bridget Barrera and Matthew Velasquez.

The groups and websites participating in the national push to support ‘Cristela’ include: the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, California Latino Legislative Caucus, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, National Association of Latino Independent Producers, Latina Rebel, Latino Print Network, Latino Literacy, Latinheat.com, Get Wise Latinas, Humani.TV Español, Million Latina March, MountainTop Speakers , National Hispanic Media Coalition, Nosotros, Remezcla.com,

RiseUp Leadership, Latina Lotteria, and UpLatino.com.

The national push has been organized by the Latino Premiere Club, a partnership between the National Hispanic Media Coalition and LatinHeat Media Institute.

The Latino Premiere Club is a membership organization whose goal is to give Latinos a voice on upcoming film and television projects that tell Latino stories and/or employ Latinos in front and behind the camera.

Advocates say the show’s success can lead to more Latinos included in positive and multidimensional roles on television.

“How media depicts Latinos matters, because the way we are perceived is the way we will be treated in our society,” stated Alex Nogales, president and CEO of the National Hispanic Media Coalition. “As Latinos, we have an opportunity to make a national impact by tuning in to ‘Cristela’. It’s time for television to reflect the reality that Latinos are an integral part of the American social fabric.”

On October 2, the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, a coalition of 39 national Latino organizations, unanimously voted to endorse and promote ‘Cristela’s’ premiere.

“Hollywood understands the numbers are there. With this

push we can actually show the impact the Latino community has when we come together,” said Bel Hernandez, executive director of LatinHeat Media Institute. “Be loud and clear about your support, be part of the wave that will finally show Hollywood the power of our community!”

Individuals interested in spreading the word about ‘Cristela’ can find resources athttp://latinopremiereclub. com/cristela-social-mediaresource-kit.

The nation’s large and fastgrowing Latino community, which makes up more than 17 percent of the United States population, and whose purchasing power is estimated to reach $1.5 trillion by 2015, is among the biggest consumers of television. Yet Latinos remain underrepresented in television, both on-screen as well as behind the camera.

The underrepresentation and stereotypical portrayals of Latinos in media fuels prejudices and misconceptions about Latinos among non-Latinos, according to studies commissioned by the National Hispanic Media Coalition in 2012.

Among the findings: one-third of non-Latinos inaccurately believed that more than onehalf of Latinos were undocumented; and 47 percent reported hardly seeing Latinos in roles as attorneys, judges, doctors or nurses in television or film.

NOTIMEX El tecladista Randolph Isaiah Owens, de 39 años, quien formaba parte de la banda Jack White, fue encontrado muerto en la habitación de un hotel de esta ciudad.

De acuerdo con el servicio de emergencias del municipio, los trabajadores de limpieza del Hotel Camino Real, ubicado en la zona de Angelópolis, reportaron a las autoridades el hallazgo de un masculino sin signos de vida.

En entrevista telefónica, señalaron que cuerpos de auxilio acudieron a la habitación 1306 de dicho lugar,

donde confirmaron que el hombre de 39 años, huésped del hotel, pereció tras un problema de broncoaspiración, por lo que acudió el agente del Ministerio Público para el levantamiento del cadáver.

Las primeras versiones señalan que la causa del deceso pudo haber sido por consumo excesivo de alcohol por parte del músico, quien se encontraba en Puebla tras la presentación que tuvo la víspera en el Centro

Expositor y de Convenciones. De manera extraoficial trascendió que en la habitación donde estaba alojado también se halló mariguana.

Jack White y su banda, luego de participar en el Corona Capital en la Ciudad de México, se trasladaron a la capital poblana para cumplir con su presentación, y este martes tendrían una actuación más en Monterrey, y mañana en Guadalajara, mismas que fueron canceladas.

NOTIMEX Las entradas para ver y escuchar al intérprete mexicano Luis Miguel están prácticamente agotadas, según informó hoy la organizadora de sus cuatro conciertos en Chile, Fénix Entertainment Group.

La empresa dijo que espera completar los 33 mil espectadores en el MoviStar Arena, en las presentaciones que se inician este miércoles 15, y se prolongarán hasta el viernes 17. sin contar con el público que lo irá a ver el sábado 18 en Viña del Mar. Los conciertos, según el diario on line “La Tercera.com”, reiterarán “la fórmula con que Luis Miguel eterniza su dominio en Chile”.

“Su último single (sencillo) ‘Deja vu’ -una vuelta a ese pop de aroma playero y saturado de bronces-, se lanzó en septiembre y ya se sitúa entre los 15 ‘tracks’ latinos con mayor rotación radial”, anotó la crónica.

Según Monitec, empresa que sondea la medición de canciones en toda la región, en el último mes hay un total de 44 temas del intérprete sonando en emisoras nacionales.

“La gente que lo sigue espera que haga su repertorio con la elegancia acostumbrada”, señaló Pablo Aguilera, director y conductor de radio Pudahuel.

“Si se atreviera a hacer algo distinto, simplemente lo matan”, apuntó. Por eso, “no sólo su fórmula se ha eternizado, también lo ha hecho su

“Siempre ha trabajado de manera impecable la interpretación de cada una de sus creaciones. Y es un artista preocupado por cada una de las aristas de su música, desde los arreglos y la puesta en escena, hasta la producción de los álbumes”, comentó Aguilera.

Luis Miguel ha vendido 2.5 millones de copias, convirtiéndose en el artista que más discos ha comercializado en la historia en el país y su trabajo es el origen del histórico reinado de la balada, más que cualquier otro género, en la fanaticada local.

Por otro lado, desde Fénix agregaron que para este paso por la capital, trae un montaje de 30 toneladas, donde destacan las pantallas led y un set de luces.

El equipo Real Madrid realizó su segunda sesión de entrenamiento de la semana sin la presencia de los internacionales, quienes se estarán reincorporando este miércoles, incluyendo al mexicano Javier “Chicharito” Hernández.

Mientras tanto, los españoles José Ignacio “Nacho” Iglesias, Álvaro Arbeloa, Asier Illarramendi y el brasileño Marcelo Vieira del primer equipo se ejercitaron en compañía de los elementos de la filial Castilla.

All Earthquakes season ticket holders who have paid in full by January 1 will be eligible for this unique opportunity. Each account will have a limit of one image per jersey. Fans will have access to the promotion through a portal on the club’s website.

Those season ticket holders will then be able to select the number (0-9) and the location within that number similar to selecting a seat for air travel - and upload their picture.
