cuente latino el pasado fin de semana.

La comunidad vietnamita y la comunidad latina están muy dolidas por este horrendo crimen que ha dejado a dos comunidades bastante conmocionadas.

En lo que va del año suman a 33 el número de homicidios (contabilizando el crimen ocurrido en la Universidad de San José).

“En honor a Cindy Nguyen la comunidad latina y la comunidad vietnamita organiza una vigilia para este viernes 23 de septiembre entre 7 pm a 9pm en el lugar donde ella fue secuestrada”, dijo Louis Montalvo, uno de las personas que trabajó 8 años con Nguyen.

“Ella era como una hermana para mi, era una mujer adorable,cariñosa que trabajaba todo el día y siempre estaba con una sonrisa en su rostro. Fue una gran consejera para todos nosotros. Muchos de las personas que trabajamos con ella somos latinos y no sentimos muy apenados por esta situación”, expresó muy consternado Montalvo.

“Fue una persona con mucha sabiduría, ella fue una en un millón, llena de buenas vibras,energía siempre tenía abierto su corazón. Nuestra jefa nos cocinaba, ella era una luz para este planeta, para mi es una pérdida grande, “ dijo Irma Reynoso, otra de las empleadas de Nguyen.

La vigilia tendrá lugar en el Centro Comercial “Plant Mall” localizado en las esquinas de Curtner y Monterey, San José CA 95112. Las amistades que organizan esta vigilia piden que lleven un buen pensamiento de Cindy. En ese mismo lugar se rezará por la recuperación de la otra persona que resultó herida durante el asalto, y también se pedirá por la paz en nuestros vecindarios.

La tragedia se inició cuando Paul Ray Castillo (33) robó en una gasolinera Chevron localizada en las esquinas de Lincoln y Curtner. Allí hirió de bala a un sujeto que se encontraba llenando el tanque de gas.

Luego huyó por la avenida Curtner y se detuvo en el Centro Comercial “The Plant Mall”. A Cindy Nguyen se le malogró su auto a la hora y en el lugar menos indicado.

Castillo se le acercó y ella creyendo que la pen saba auxiliar terminó siendo secuestrada hasta luego ser ultimada en una vivienda localizada en la cuadra 500 de la calle Norte 12.

Los servicios fúnebres de Cindy Nguyen se rea lizarán en el Oak Hill Cemetery ubicado en la Curtner #300. El sábado 24 de sept. (12:30 a 9pm) y el domingo 25 (10 am a 5pm). Los restos de Nguyen serán cremados el lunes 26 a las 2pm. Δ

ver 50 concerned residents attended the first community forum on criminal justice realignment to listen to panelists and participate in small group discussions. The forum was hosted by Center for Employment Training (CET) and Silicon Valley De-Bug. In an effort by the State to comply with court mandates to reduce overcrowded prisons, associated costs and the number of inmates who reoffend and are re-incarcerated, certain responsibilities are being transferred to counties. This process is referred to as “realignment.” In assessing the potential community impact, the County of Santa Clara is planning to make changes to its criminal justice system.

“These community forums are key in preparing for the challenges and opportunities realignment will bring to our current criminal justice system,” said Supervisor George Shirakawa, Chair of the Board’s Public Safety and Justice Committee. “Our main goal is to maintain public safety. The feedback gained from these forums will help ensure that the appropriate support, services, and supervision will be given to inmates so that they can be successful.”

Starting October 1, two major changes will occur in the local criminal justice system.

One of the changes involves individuals who commit low-level offenses and are completing their prison sentences. They will be supervised by counties, rather than the State parole office. The other involves individuals, convicted of certain new low-level offenses (non-serious, non-violent, non-sexual registry) that before were sentenced to prison, who will now be placed in the supervision of the County or residence, with options such as jail, treatment programs, and electronic monitoring.

“We need a home to come to,” said Stacy McGruder, who was released from prison eight months ago. “Family is a huge thing that keeps many going.”

Santa Clara County has an opportunity to transform its criminal justice system so that parolees are prepared to re-enter the community in a productive manner. Community input will be instrumental to design a plan that effectively responds to this historic shift in criminal justice.

Additional forums will be scheduled to allow the public to learn how State mandates will impact the County’s justice system and to provide feedback on the realignment process.

OPINION

Controversial E-Verify

D

renunciaron por considerar que las recomendaciones no corrigen las fallas del programa que ha impulsado el alza en la cifra de deportaciones.

Comunidades Seguras permite que policías locales y estatales cotejen las huellas digitales de inmigrantes detenidos con bancos de datos del FBI y del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) y aunque se supone que se enfoque en repatriar a verdaderos criminales, se calcula que 60% de los deportados con el programa no tenían historial criminal o sólo habían cometido delitos menores.

El ex jefe de la Policía de Sacramento, Arturo Venegas, Jr., uno de los integrantes que renunció al grupo, dijo a America’s Voice que “las recomendaciones hechas por la junta no arreglan nada (…) La gente que no merece ser deportada va a seguir siendo deportada y lo sabemos”. Según Venegas, las recomendaciones no enmiendan las fisuras que Comunidades Seguras ha generado entre los inmigrantes y la policía, desconfianza que irónicamente ha reducido la seguridad de las comunidades. Por miedo a la deportación menos personas reportan delitos así sean víctimas o testigos.

E-Verify y Comunidades Seguras equivalen a colocar una curita en una herida que requiere sutura.

Smith cree que el E-Verify liberará empleos para los estadounidenses pero, por el contrario, hasta 770,000 personas autorizadas para trabajar podrían perder sus trabajos por los errores que plagan a los bancos de datos; la medida supone además gastos de implementación de hasta 2,600

millones de dólares anuales para las pequeñas empresas que son el motor de la creación de empleos en Estados Unidos.

El E-Verify atenta contra la industria agrícola que depende en gran medida de la mano de obra indocumentada y que ya enfrenta una escasez de brazos que ha resultado en pérdidas millonarias de cosechas o en su traslado a México y Centroamérica. Y con el E-Verify los indocumentados no desaparecerán del país. Simplemente serán remunerados fuera del sistema tributario resultando en menos ingresos para el fisco, hasta 17,300 millones de dólares menos en una década, según la Oficina de Presupuesto del Congreso.

Comunidades Seguras, por su parte, no le hace honor al nombre.

La falta de confianza es algo muy difícil y a veces imposible de recuperar y en estos momentos para muchos en la comunidad inmigrante la policía es sinónimo de agente de inmigración. En honor a la verdad, sería mejor que desapareciera si no puede implementarse adecuadamente.

Las recomendaciones formuladas apuntan a algunas de las fallas pero señalarlas no implica que en la práctica vayan a verse cambios.

Desconozco si los motines iniciales cuestionando ambos programas tendrán repercusiones reales sobre el futuro de los mismos.

Lo que sí es real es los dos programas, el E-Verify, aunque sea enmendado, y Comunidades Seguras “mejorado”, le hacen honor al refrán que reza que aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda.

T

wo local issues caught my attention this past week. One was the case of the cheerleaders having to cope with meeting the local school dress code. Too much ‘skin’ was being exposed. The solution was to cover it with spandex or jeans.

Young girls know that boys “like to look” when given the opportunity.

What they do not know is that some boys have not yet learned to control their biological ‘urge to merge’ response. And in a few cases, that may lead to physical or social abusive expressions.

Nubile girls below the age of 18 need to learn to be more modest and be able to say “no” to improper advances and proposals.

Both fathers and mothers need to set these standards and teach reasonable responsible social behavior. One lesson very difficult to communicate is that TV programs often display human social behavior which is not in touch with reality or common sense.

But parents need to use TV behavior displays by giving voice to their own standards of behavior. Simply saying ‘I do not like that behavior (or approach)’ conveys the desired message over time.

Silence is never an effective communicator.

The other bit of news was that the Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force budget was reduced by $2.2 million down to $2.5 million which is still a considerable amount of money. Let’s define money as the license to produce, perform, and consume…that is all.

It was enlightening to learn that parent programs were retained because parents are responsible for being the source of values, a sense of what is right or wrong behavior, and for teaching self-control in many social relationships.

There is another force which needs to be emphasized. Big Brothers and Sisters organization are seeking volunteer adult role models who are willing to spend some time with a child needing a responsible relationship with an adult.

It does not take much time, however, getting the appropriate clearances does take effort.

Having such a commitment with a child whose parenting may be limited to that of a ‘single head of household’ is very rewarding and satisfying.

Volunteers are also needed to staff reading programs such as the one personally experienced at Washington Ele-

mentary School. I recall being assigned a young girl whose academic performance was less that the norm. This child did not want to learn English because her family spoke Spanish at home.

When I explained that her parents came to this community to achieve a higher standard of living and a higher level of education for their children, this student decided learning English was essential to future achievements here in this environment. She did not want to earn a future living doing the sorts of work currently performed by her parents who responsibly worked for a variety of cleaning services.

That girl’s academic performance jumped up the minute she focused on becoming bilingual: English and Spanish languages. She ended up being both practiced and learned in both languages.

The Hispanic Development Corporation (a local non-profit community based organization) has identified many Latinos(as) who are local successful role models .

This organization conducts “Youth Leadership Mini-conferences” after school instructional hours are completed. Their focus is on exposing Latino youth to local volunteers who convey their personal journeys to achievements in a variety of vocations and professions. Youth need to learn that the basic skills (reading, writing, and arithmetic plus communication skills coupled with respectful behavior) are needed to be able to achieve.

Dr. Roberto Cruz, who founded the local National Hispanic University (located in San Jose, CA.) would say to youth, “Whatever your mind can conceive is what you can achieve”. An effort must be made to learn concepts and acquire an essential vocabulary.

These days it seems that too few really “honor their father and their mother.” The adult volunteers who are interested in helping youth make possible their personal growth towards adulthood.

Gangs cannot be a viable option in a community where responsible adults take an interest in their kid’s personal development. Adults these days must not let those who write sitcoms and “novelas”, or design video games, be the source of acceptable human behavior.

Simply stated, it does take a village to raise the next generation properly.

More adults need to step up to that responsibility.

Maribel Hastings -America’s os programas controversiales de presunto control migratorio, uno que apenas es propuesta, el EVerify, y otro que ya se implementa pero que presuntamente quieren “mejorar”, Comunidades Seguras, enfrentaron la semana pasada escollos que ponen de relieve la necesidad de una reforma amplia de nuestras leyes de inmigración y no soluciones incompletas y desatinadas.

El proyecto E-Verify del congresista republicano de Texas, Lamar Smith, que nacionaliza y hace obligatorio el uso de bancos de datos del gobierno para determinar si los nuevos contratados están autorizados para trabajar, enfrentó no sólo la oposición tradicional de grupos pro inmigrantes sino el rechazo y cuestionamiento de grupos conservadores e incluso de algunos republicanos.

Este miércoles el Comité Judicial de la Cámara Baja retoma la discusión del proyecto que enfrenta su prueba de fuego en la presentación de enmiendas a ver si satisfacen las demandas no sólo de demócratas sino de algunos republicanos preocupados por el efecto del plan sobre la industria agrícola. Para acallar a esos críticos Smith presentó otro plan “genial” que pretende traer hasta medio millón de trabajadores agrícolas temporales anualmente en vez de legalizar a los que ya están aquí.

Por su parte, el reporte que emitió un grupo especial de trabajo con recomendaciones para “mejorar” el controvertido programa Comunidades Seguras, no fue precisamente de consenso porque algunos de sus integrantes

¡MIGAJAS!

Ex braceros firman “bajo protesta” Por Rosario Vital El Observador

M

uchos pueden afirmar que por fin les pagaron a los ex-braceros. O que por lo menos algo es algo porque peor es nada. Pero las reacciones de ellos fue frustrante.

“¿Qué es esto? ¿Se burlan de nosotros?”, comentó bastante disgustado Don Cecilio Santillán al recibir los $3,089.63 dólares correspondiente al pago de 15 años de trabajo en los campos, mientras estaba en el programa “Bracero”.

Santillán quien durante la entrevista tuvo que sentarse en reiteradas oportunidades

por los ataques del asma que le vienen como consecuencia de su trabajo con químicos, dijo que firmó la entrega de este cheque “bajo protesta”.

“El gobierno de México nos ha querido tapar la boca.

Cuando Felipe Calderón llegó a a San José, el presidente hablaba de pagar la deuda externa y me paré y le pregunté

A San Jose Downtown Association Production

cuándo nos paga nuestro 10%. Ahora Calderón nos quiere callar con estas “migajas”; pues hoy le digo que vamos pelear un pago razonable”, dijo Santillán a EO. Para Santillán (84) la lucha debe continuar. Por su parte José Sandoval, de Voluntarios de la Comunidad inició la lucha del pago desde hace 12 años.

“Quieren silenciar la lucha de los ex braceros. Hemos luchado mucho por esto, pero el gobierno mexicano una vez más se burla de nosotros. Ha sido muy gentil por parte del Consulado de México en San José, llamar a cada uno de los braceros, para hacer la entrega, sin embargo esta no es suficiente”, expresó Sandoval.

Por su parte el Cónsul General de México en San José, Carlos Ponce dijo que bajo su jurisdicción la sede consular entregará a 194 ex

braceros inscritos. Todos ellos han sido oportunamente llamados y la entrega se está haciendo de manera ordenada.

De otro lado el Consulado General de San Francisco entregará a 120 ex braceros el cheque que les corresponde.

“Iniciamos la entrega la se mana pasada y seguimos esperando a más de ellos”, dijo la vocera Gabriela Mardero.

“No me queda más que recibir. Tal vez ya no tenga más vida y es mejor recibir algo a nada. Además tengo deudas y espero poder saldar una de ella”, dijo Pedro Del Real Pérez.

Por su lado Don Delfino Sánchez Cruz (90) dijo que acepta el pago pero también está disconforme con el monto. “Recibo el dinero para pagar mi cuarto, mi comida y tal vez algo de ropa. Pero no me hace mucha ilusión recibir tan poco dinero por los años de trabajo, dijo Sánchez a EO.

Hasta el momento ni Silva ni Santillán saben qué van a hacer con su dinero, sin embargo convocan a otros ex braceros a aceptar el dinero pero a continuar con la lucha.

En abril de 2010, los legisladores aprobaron reformas a la Ley que crea el fideicomiso del Fondo Social de Braceros Mexicanos para que estos reciban 38 mil pesos en una sola exhibición. Los pagos se iniciaron en los consulados del área de la bahía pasadas las celebraciones de su independencia.

El pago incluye a 385 mil ex braceros incluidos en el padrón. Al El gobierno dijo además que será un pago “único” en otras palabras no habrá más pago. Sin embargo se está gestando el movimiento nacional para exigir el pago justo.Δ

EDUCATION

By Cinthia Rodriguez – El Observador

A

fter a month of adjusting to new professors and getting in the groove of being back in school, some students have another obstacle to face.

Students from San Jose State University (SJSU) are living in a hotel due to lack of housing and the university’s new housing policy. Some of the students rallied and marched through the campus to bring awareness to the issue being met by 90 students.

SJUS implemented a new housing policy for the 2011-12 academic year. In order to boost student success rates, the university requires all first-time freshmen from more than 30 miles away to live on campus. The university enrolled 4,000 freshmen, SJSU’s largest first-year class in ten years.

As a result around 245 undergrads received an email explaining how a hotel would be available instead, at no additional cost. They were removed from their housing and asked to live three miles away or to figure out other living arrangements.

“When I lived on campus I would make

it to my furthest class in seven minutes. Now I’m finding to get to any class or just to plan ahead I’m getting about a 30 minute commute,” said Vincent Lubrano, a junior history major. “I’m spending a lot more time on campus, in the library or sitting around doing my work. I’m not as comfortable.”

The dorms have much in common with the hotel, such as shared bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as meal plans. Amenities include light rail or shuttle service, free parking, weekly housekeeping, a fitness room, pool, spa, laundry facilities, and SJSU housing staff on site.

“I kinda scrambled the day before to make sure I had everything set up such as the down payment,” said Lubrano. “Next thing I know they’re saying that they got too many freshmen, we’ll have to move you some place else and it turns out it’s three miles away.”

89 other students decided to live in the hotel, while the rest are living on couches or last-minute apartments. Students were allowed to cancel their housing contracts and meal plans without penalty.

“They should have been able to plan better,” said Lubrano.

Durante la primera ronda de talleres en enero de 2011, la comunidad revisó y nos proporcionó información sobre el desarrollo de las alternativas de alineación, las opciones de la estación y los posibles cambios en la red de carreteras siendo evaluadas en el Informe Preliminar del Impacto Ambiental (EIR/EIS). En Marzo, el equipo presentó la metodología para evaluar los efectos sonoros y visuales en el EIR/EIS y las posibles formas de reducir estos impactos.

En junio, los talleres exploraron el diseño y la función de la estación del tren de alta velocidad y cómo los impactos del tráfico y la circulación serán evaluados en el EIR/EIS. La cuarta ronda de talleres brindará una actualización sobre el diseño de la estación y se centrará en la integración del diseño de la estación con la planificación de la estación de ámbito más amplio, incluyendo formas de incorporar el estacionamiento y el desarrollo futuro. El equipo también describirá la metodología utilizada para determinar las actividades relacionadas con la construcción y su impacto, tal como se evaluó en el EIR/EIS. Los alineamientos bajo evaluación para toda la parte Sur del condado, incluyendo las áreas de Gilroy y Morgan Hill, estarán disponibles para su visualización.

inco de Mayo may be behind us, but here at Shmoop we still have a lot to celebrate. Like getting all you lucky test takers ready for the next CAHSEE. Key points of our spicy linguistic test prep journey: 1. Take advantage of examples that (we’re pretty sure) you won’t find anywhere else. Let’s see, how to write an essay. Step 1: Build your own Frankenstein monster. Step 2: Capture King Kong. Trust us, it’s good. Or, for instance, why Pythagoras was the original rock star. Or, if you’re still not satisfied, how to calculate how long it will take you to get home from college to do your laundry (at Mom’s house).

2. We’ve also tossed in, just for fun, hundreds of explanations, examples, and exercises on every California State Standard you need to know for the exam. Oh my. One of the CAHSEE monsters is the CAHSEE Math: Statistics, Probability, Algebra, Functions, Geometry, and Mathematical Reasoning. We dissected the other beast, CAHSEE English Language Arts, into: Vocabulary, Reading

Comprehension, Literary Analysis, and Writing.

3. The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, the skies are cloudless and blue...and you’re stuck indoors, getting ready to take the CAHSEE. We bet you could think of at least twelve things you’d rather be doing right now. We’ve thought of and included at least 602: 2 Full-Length Timed CAHSEE Practice Tests and 600 Practice Problems (with on-the-spot feedback and explanations).

4. Only Spanglish will help you prepare for the big day. Our explanations are in Spanish, but the drills and questions are in English. Since you will be battling the monster in English, we didn’t want to send you to fight the battle of wits unarmed.

5. Flex to the max. This is your to-do list as you prep for your exam. Check off the boxes in our suggested order. Or be a rebel and jump around. It’s your call. You can retake sections to try to improve your understanding and final scores. Or your Shmoints for prize winning purposes too!

“As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. However, it is important to stress that bariatric surgery is considered a safe option for weight loss,” says Dr. Christopher Still, director of the Geisinger Obesity Institute, medical director, Center for Nutrition and Weight Management, and OAC Board Member. “In fact, bariatric surgery is as safe or safer than many commonly performed procedures, such as gall bladder removal or hip replacement when performed at a Center of Excellence.”

ozens of students at Adelante Dual Language Academy learned about the importance of reforestation as part of Mexico’s International Reforestation Campaign.

The General Consulate of Mexico in San Jose partnered with city officials to plant a tree and teach students the importance of caring and respecting the environment. “It’s an extension of the reforestation program that is taking place in Mexico and so I feel that by extending it here to our school we’re just taking part in that whole program,� said Principal Sandra Garcia. “It will benefit our whole world.�

To ensure a successful tree planting ceremony, the Consul General asked Su-

pervisor Shirakawa to identify a school, whose student body would benefit greatly from Mexico’s Reforestation Campaign. Identifying that school was an easy task.

Supervisor Shirakawa recommended that the tree planting ceremony be conducted at Adelante Dual Language Academy for two reasons. First, all of the students at the academy speak and understand Spanish, the native tongue of Mexico.

Second, Adelante’s primarily Latino student body would benefit greatly from a ceremony conducted by Latino leaders and dignitaries.

The tree was planted in front of the school at the beginning of day, after saluting the flag and singing Mexico’s national anthem. The students heard from local leaders like the Consul General and Councilmember Xavier Campos. They were made aware of simple ac-

tions to take to care for the environment, which in turn will help combat global

warming and its consequences at a worldwide level. “The tree signifies growth and the hope that our children have for the future,� said Superintendent Jose Manzo. “So as long as you take care of the tree and you water it and you do all the things to help it survive, it’s a symbol of that growth and hope for our students.

It’s a symbol of taking care of our natural resources in our world.�

Read the Patient Information that comes with DIOVAN before you take it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or treatment. If you have any questions about DIOVAN, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN? Taking DIOVAN during pregnancy can cause injury and even death to your unborn baby. If you get pregnant, stop taking DIOVAN and call your doctor right away.

Talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your blood pressure if you plan to become pregnant.

What is DIOVAN? DIOVAN is a prescription medicine called an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It is used in adults to: U lower high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children, 6 to 16 years of age.

U treat heart failure in adults. In these patients, DIOVAN may lower the need for hospitalization that happens from heart failure.

U improve the chance of living longer after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in adults.

DIOVAN is not for children under 6 years of age or children with certain kidney problems.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension). Blood pressure is the force in your blood vessels when your heart beats and when your heart rests. You have high blood pressure when the force is too much. DIOVAN can help your blood vessels relax so your blood pressure is lower.

High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body and causes damage to the blood vessels. If high blood pressure is not treated, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure and vision problems.

Heart Failure occurs when the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. Just walking or moving can make you short of breath, so you may have to rest a lot.

Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): A heart attack is caused by a blocked artery that results in damage to the heart muscle.

What should I tell my doctor before taking DIOVAN? Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including whether you: U have any allergies. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in DIOVAN. U have a heart condition U have liver problems U have kidney problems U are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. See “What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN?�

U are breast-feeding. It is not known if DIOVAN passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take DIOVAN or breast-feed, but not both. Talk with your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take DIOVAN. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. Especially tell your doctor if you take: U other medicines for high blood pressure or a heart problem U water pills (also called “diuretics�)

If your child switches between taking the tablet and the suspension, your doctor will adjust the dose as needed. Shake the bottle of suspension well for at least 10 seconds before pouring the dose of medicine to give to your child.

U For adult patients with heart failure or who have had a heart attack, take DIOVAN two times each day, at the same time each day. Your doctor may start you on a low dose of DIOVAN and may increase the dose during your treatment.

BUSINESS

Buy more, spend less and keep your cash

(ARA) aintaining a healthy cash flow and keeping a firm handle on expenses is considered sound financial management. For small businesses, however, it can be the difference between succeeding and struggling for survival. Making your money work harder is particularly important in times of economic uncertainty when small businesses are often faced with unpredictable sales and more stringent credit requirements.

Making the most of your purchases Every business has to invest in goods and services to operate and grow. Small business owners juggling multiple demands, with limited resources, have to be

M

particularly strategic in how they finance their purchases. The good news is a wide range of new solutions are now available to help owners save while they spend. For example, credit cards with cash rewards are becoming increasingly popular with small business owners. By offering the opportunity to earn cash back on purchases from office supply stores, gas stations, computer network companies and restaurants, cards can make expenses less expensive and preserve cash reserves.

“A key driver to small business success is finding ways to make less go a long way,” says Steve Strauss, small business expert and columnist. “By offering up to 3 percent cash back on certain purchases, and no cap on the cash back you can earn,

cards like Bank of America’s Cash Rewards for Business MasterCard credit cards (R) are actually paying you to purchase.”

Reward cards are one important tool to help small businesses maximize assets and manage cash flow. Here are some additional suggestions to help you prevent shortfalls and keep your small business in financial order: Think ahead. Even the smallest businesses can no longer afford to roll the dice with casual “back of the envelope” calculations. Budgeting should be done routinely and systematically on both a short-term (weekly, monthly depending on company size) and a long-term (annual, 3 to 5 years) basis to forecast impending needs.

Don’t silo. A company’s cash position is tied to business operations, so it is wise to assess production schedules, overtime, supplier choices and delivery dates against cash availability and make adjustments regularly.

Expedite incoming payments. Speed up receivables collection by sending out invoices as soon as orders are shipped and ask customers to make electronic payments wherever possible. Always deposit checks the same day they are received.

Remember that inventory is not cash.

The items on your shelves need to be sold to be transformed into cash, therefore you should do everything in your power to move inventory, including offering discounts or installment payments if necessary.

Innovation Reigns When Times Get Tough (NewsUSA) hen people see closed storefronts in the neighborhoods where they live and work, they’re reminded that the toll this economy has taken on businesses affects their own lives. And yet some companies — faced with the same adverse headwinds — seem to rise to the challenge and go on to prosper as never before.

Why is that? And could there even be a lesson to be learned here if you’re thinking of starting your own business as a result of either being unemployed or just plain fed up with your current job?

The “i-word” keeps popping up among experts as the answer to that question. “The whole engine that drives any economy is innovation,” says Stephen Gnass, executive director of the National Congress of Inventor Organizations, a non-profit for inventors and inventor groups.

Take IBM, for example. It practically reinvented itself years ago — going from a stodgy seller of large, pricey computers to a global software and consulting giant — and just recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. And then there’s the more underthe-radar case of New Jersey-based GAF. North America’s largest roofing and ventilation manufacturer is celebrating its own anniversary this year — 25 years longer in business than IBM, but who’s counting? — and one way it got there is by coming up with unique answers to consumers’ and businesses’ desires to go green. In fact, it made quite a splash last summer when it teamed up with New York City’s Department of Buildings to paint 1 million square feet of roofs white — GAF supplied the reflective paint for one of the many projects of the initiative, as well as materials and labor — as a way of cutting the city’s energy costs.

To GAF’s CEO, Bob Tafaro, that kind of nimbleness is key.

“When you put customers first by ensuring that they get quality products and service, and when you keep your employees focused on innovation, you’ve got the formula for surviving long term and throughout even the toughest economic times.”

The company’s commitment to service and innovation has actually produced a number of “firsts,” including: the first readyto-lay asphalt roofing, the first to use color granules in roofing materials, and the first to offer a lifetime shingle warranty. And, oh yes, for those concerned about the outsourcing of American jobs, everything’s made in America. For more information, visit www.GAF.com.

3 Ways to Cut Your Energy Bill

gen incandescent technology to produce a more efficient incandescent bulb.”

- Install ceiling fans Install a ceiling fan in frequently occupied rooms. Ceiling fans use a fraction of the electricity of an AC unit. Therefore, the thermostat can be raised six degrees — say, to 78 degrees — and make a room feel as comfortable as if the ambient temperature were really 72 degrees.

- Utilize lighting controls Lighting controls are an excellent option for saving energy. It is not necessary to invest in a comprehensive control system where the entire house is rewired. There are simple and lessexpensive methods for controlling light to save energy, such as motion sensors, photocells that operate according to light levels, timers and dimmers.

Thanks to breaking technology, lighting has become more efficient than ever before.

(NewsUSA) uring hotter days, the wonderful coolness of our air-conditioned homes is comforting until the whopping energy bill arrives. The American Lighting Association (ALA) offers the following easy ways to use less energy and save money.

- Replace bulbs with CFLs - Switch out incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent versions.

“A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) can provide the same amount of light as an incandescent by using only one-quarter of the electricity,” explains Joe Rey-Barreau, education consultant for the ALA and an associate professor at the University of Kentucky’s School of Interior Design.

“One of the great myths regarding lighting today is that the federal government is ‘banning’ incandescent lighting,” Rey-Barreau says.

“This is false. Incandescent lighting is not being banned. The new legislation is only affecting the standard 100-watt incandescent bulb, which will no longer be sold beginning in 2012.

However, an incandescent bulb that uses only 72 watts will replace it. This new bulb uses halo-

L

Paso, Texas, Carr ha llevado su voz a la reina de Inglaterra, cinco presidentes de EE.UU. y las tropas de EE.UU. en Vietnam.

Su apoyo filantrópico se extiende más allá. La destacada cantante ofrece apoyo en el tema de salud a miles de fami lias.

Por su parte Tito Puente Jr. mantiene viva la música de su

célebre padre Don Tito Puente.

Ese ritmo, ese sabor lo trae a San José . Tito se ha convertido en un artista favorito en casinos, teatros y festivales de jazz, como en cualquier celebración donde se escuche buena música, no importa en el lugar del mundo que se convoque, la energía es la misma.

Tito Puente Jr. Se presentará el viernes en el San Jose Event Center y Vikki Carr estará en la noche del HP Pavillion.

“‘MONEYBALL’ IS ONE OF THE BEST

PETER TRAVERS

Por Rosario Vital El Observador a ciudad de San José celebra con mucho orgullo el 20mo Festival del Mariachi. Además de contar con figuras como “Los Lobos”, contamos con la presencia por primera vez de artistas que se presentan en este festival, nos referimos a Tito Puente Jr. y Vikki Carr.

Moneyball

the field, turned his fiercely competitive nature to management.

Heading into the 2002 season, Billy faces a dismal situation: his small-market Oakland A’s have lost their

defying conclusions and go after players overlooked and dismissed by the rest of baseball for being too odd, too old, too injured or too much trouble, but who all have key skills that are universally undervalued.

As Billy and Peter forge forward, their new methods and roster of misfits rile the old guard, the media, the fans, and their own field manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who refuses to cooperate. Ultimately this experiment will lead not only to a change in the way the game is played, but to an outcome that would leave Billy with a new understanding that transcends the game and delivers him to a new place.

EXCITING FILMS OF THE YEAR. BRAD PITT NAILS EVERY NUANCE. JONAH HILL SCORES A KNOCKOUT!

‘MONEYBALL’ LEFT ME READY TO CHEER.” “‘MONEYBALL’ IS HILARIOUS. BRAD PITT SHOWS US ONCE AGAIN

JUST HOW GOOD HE IS.”

KAREN DURBIN

M

oneyball is based on the true story of Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) – once a would-be baseball superstar who, stung by the failure to live up to expectations on

star players (again) to big market clubs (and their enormous salaries) and is left to rebuild his team and compete with a third of their payroll.

Driven to win, Billy takes on the system by challenging the fundamental tenants of the game. He looks outside of baseball, to the dismissed theories of Bill James, and hires Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a brainy, numbercrunching, Yale-educated economist.

Together they take on conventional wisdom with a willingness to reexamine everything and armed with computer driven statistical analysis long ignored by the baseball establishment.

They reach imagination-

Piqué regresaría al Valencia

Guillermo Ochoa en el club francés Ajaccio, (Notimex) l club francés AC Ajaccio publicó este martes la fotografía oficial del equipo, en donde el portero mexicano Guillermo Ochoa aparece en la parte trasera junto con los otros guardametas.

El club presentó lo que llamaron “la foto oficial en bruto” en la página oficial en internet de “L’ours”, equipo que forma parte de la Liga 1 del futbol francés.

E

De esta manera el club europeo, que contrató los servicios del arquero surgido de las Águilas del América, mencionó que es un proyecto de lo que será la imagen oficial del equipo, en la que se prevé estarán vestidos con los colores del ACA. Ochoa, portero titular de la escuadra, es además el segundo capitán y su ingreso al futbol europeo fue un paso importante del guardameta quien al lograrlo se convirtió en

el segundo en hacerlo, luego del veracruzano Sergio Ramírez Rosaldo, que jugó para el FC Ararat de Armenia.

El jalisciense se ha ganado un lugar en el equipo francés al grado de que éste colocó un espacio en español en su página en internet enfocado a Ochoa, en donde se dan pormenores de los movimientos que realiza durante su estadía en el futbol francés, la cual será por tres años con este club.

Barcelona, (Notimex) El defensa del Barcelona, Gerard Piqué, entrenó al parejo de sus compañeros y su regreso a las canchas está cada vez más cerca, luego que sufrió una rotura fibrilar en el gemelo de la pierna izquierda el pasado 23 de agosto.

Se espera que el defensa catalán juegue en la jornada seis de la Liga de España, cuando el cuadro culé

reciba en el Camp Nou al Atlético de Madrid; si le dan el alta médica antes, podrían entrar en la convocatoria para el duelo de este miércoles ante Valencia.

Luego de la goleada 8-0 al Osasuna de Pamplona, los pupilos de Josep Guardiola regresaron este día a los entrenamientos tras una jornada de descanso, y Piqué trabajó al lado de sus compañeros.

En el campo número 2 de Sant Joan Despí estuvieron 19 futbolistas del primer equipo y los canteranos Muniesa, Cuenca, Armando y Riverola.

Si es dado de alta por los médicos blaugranas, el entrenador Josep Guardiola podrá contar con su defensa titular (Daniel Alves, Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué y Eric Abidal) por primera ves desde el pasado mes de

México,. (Notimex)

E

l técnico nacional José Manuel de la Torre, el presidente de la Federación Mexicana de Futbol (FMF), Justino Compeán, y representantes de Televisa y TvAzteca se reunieron para definir el calendario de actividades de la selección mayor en 2012.

En la junta de trabajo, desarrollada en las oficinas de la FMF, también participaron Héctor González Iñárritu, di-

rector general de selecciones nacionales, y Decio de María, secretario general de la FMF. Por Televisa acudió Ricardo Pérez Teuffer y por TvAzteca, Gustavo Guzmán, ya que ambas empresas comparten los derechos de transmisión de las selecciones nacionales.

Lo más importante para el “Tricolor” del “Chepo” de la Torre es la participación, a partir de la tercera ronda, en la fase de clasificatoria de la Concacaf para la Copa del Mundo

Brasil 2014.

También están los encuentros de preparación, que, de acuerdo con el contrato firmado con la empresa Soccer United Marketing (SUM), deben ser cinco en canchas en territorio estadounidense.

También afinaron detalles para el encuentro del 11 de octubre del “Tricolor” mayor ante el pentacampeón Brasil, como son los preparativos del equipo que presentará José Manuel de la Torre.

It seems everyone is saying they have the best unlimited plan.

Here’s the truth.

When it comes right down to it, our competitors have some crafty ways of limiting your phone experience after a measly 2GB of data usage. Once you hit that limit with T-Mobile, they slow down your data speed. AT&T and Verizon give you unlimited text and talk, but they charge you extra after you reach the same limit.

At Sprint, forr only $79.99/mo., $7 79 9.99/mo., we give you Unlimited Unlimited d data plus Unlimited text and calling to any mobile. All while on the Sprint network. Simply put, it’s our Everything Data plan.
