omo dice el dicho “después de la tormenta viene la calma”. Pues eso debe estar pensando el Jefe de la Policía de San José, Rob Davis quien fue duramente criticado durante su periodo por su falta de liderazgo en mejorar las relaciones entre efectivos policiales y la comunidad latina y vietnamita.

“Es importante participar en estas reuniones comunitarias. Ojalá que la admi nistradora de la ciudad escoja a alguien dentro de este panel comunitario que entienda a nuestra comunidad latina. Necesitamos que una voz nuestra y bien representada que en-

tienda nuestra comunidad integre este panel”, dijo Aarón Reséndez quien formó parte del panel comunitario en el año 2004 para elegir a Davis y quien abiertamente criticó el trabajo del jefe policial.

El jefe entrante tendrá que supervisar las operaciones de un departamento de aproximadamente de 1,700 empleados (incluidos los 1,273 agentes uniformados) la prestación de una amplia variedad de policía al servicios de más de un millón de residentes de San José.

Latinos For Jerry Brown Get Involved

On Immigration Polling, Fox Gets it Right and CNN Gets it Wrong

settled in America, voters overwhelmingly embrace that approach. This is not only the most popular choice, it is the most workable solution to the problem of illegal immigration. On the other hand, when voters are presented with a false choice between border security or a path to legal status, they are confused and divided. Which of course is why those watching Fox should pay more attention to the Fox immigration poll than to the simplistic enforcement-only rhetoric coming from Republican politicians.”

The Fox result is not an outlier. Recent polling conducted by Lake Research Partners and Public Opinion Strategies for America’s Voice found that while a majority of poll respondents supported the Arizona ‘papers please’ immigration law, these same respondents showed more intense support for comprehensive reform proposals and actually favored comprehensive reform by a greater margin than opponents of the Arizona law. A whopping 84% of those who voiced support for the Arizona law also support comprehensive immigration reform. The fact is, voters favor action but strongly favor comprehensive reform that combines smart enforcement with legal status for those already here. Lake’s findings were echoed in other surveys.

According to Sharry, “As we head into a campaign season in which immigration is bound to be a hot topic, pollsters, politicians, and parties alike would be wise to not conflate voters’ frustration over illegal immigration with opposition to comprehensive immigration reform. A strong and consistent majority support comprehensive immigration reform that will strengthen border security, crack down on employers who violate labor and immigration laws, and make sure that immigrants already in the U.S. illegally pass background checks, pay their full and fair share of taxes, and study English as a way to work toward citizenship. In fact, most voters are dying for their leaders to step up and solve this problem once and for all. It’s time for Republicans to stop the mindless presentation of false choices.

It’s time for Democrats to lean into this issue and do so with conviction. It’s time for Washington to do the popular thing, which in this case, happens to be the right thing.”

n Tuesday evening, August 10, 2010, and again a week later, Karl Soltero reported that Latinos For Jerry Brown assembled as a group to organize their involvement in the coming election scheduled for Tuesday, November 2, 2010. It is on that election day that a new governor of California will be elected. The two competing candidates are Meg Whitman (Republican) and Jerry Brown (Democrat). This ad hoc group was called to action by the efforts of Karl Soltero, Adrian Vargas and Charles Lostanau who assembled the agenda.

Sophie Mendoza, a highly respected Latina community advocate, is an advisor.

With Charlie Lostanau acting as convener, the goal was established to raise $25,000 in support of Jerry Brown's (D) gubernatorial campaign. Pete Carillo, Treasurer, wants checks made out to “Jerry Brown for Governor”. Sid Flores, Esq., supported this effort. Al Castellano provided a challenge grant of $5,000 to be matched by others. Twenty-eight individuals committed to contributing $100 each. Hilbert Morales recommended that the money be collected as cashier’s checks or postal money orders along with the FPPC number. Then the collected checks could be directly presented to Jerry Brown whenever a scheduled meeting occurred.

Morales pointed out that voting begins 24 days before the November 2nd election date because 70% of registered voters in the County of Santa Clara have already opted to vote by mail. The mail ballots are mailed out 24 days before November 2nd so a registered citizen may vote by mail immediately upon receipt of the mail-in ballot. “Vote by Mail” now happens on October 7th which is 24 days earlier than November 2nd .

Morales also recommended that the $25,000 contribution be accompanied by a request for information about the newly elected governor’s appointments to vacant state agency positions. This list of vacancies could be accompanied by the minimum qualifications which would permit this group to recommend qualified individuals from this community. Morales stated, “Without the appointment of Latinos to certain key offices, do not expect changes to happen. Especially those changes which are to be sensi-

O

tized to the current plight of urban Latinos.”

According to a report from Karl Soltero, the meeting of August 17 was spent on reviewing goals. He observed a high level of commitment, enthusiasm evidenced by the willingness of volunteers to have ‘fundraising parties’ in their homes. Pete Carillo would obtain the FPPC (Fair Political Practices Commission) campaign number and hold the checks made out to “Jerry Brown for Governor”.

Adrian Vargas, with the experienced assistance of Mario del Castillo, a retired radio commentator, would assemble the supportive statements which are to be posted on their web site. Dan Ruellos, a SJSU student and a website ‘nerd’, would assemble the LATINOS FOR JERRY BROWN web site. Joaquin “Jack” Brito is to contact the ‘Jerry Brown for Governor’ campaign office to arrange for a face to face meeting with this group. An effort will be focused on having press conferences and press releases sent out to all media in an effort to ‘get out the vote’.

Adrian Vargas and Jack Brito would assemble the issues and campaign platform.

“Latinos For Jerry Brown” is supported because of his past record. These include: 1) His track record of appointment of Latinos to the courts and state agency positions. 2) Brown’s support to achieve equity in funding of the education system (K-12, +colleges); 3) Support and maintenance of the safety net programs impacting the unemployed, health care, and essential social services. 4) Brown’s civil rights record including those of immigrants; 5) Support of farmworker’s rights; 6) Creation of jobs in a sustaining state economy; 7) Investigation of the very high incarceration rate of Latinos who end up in children shelters, juvenile halls, jails, and state prisons. (This phenomenon is tied to education & training programs, the Justice system (courts), and effective rehabilitation and social skills training programs).

The next meeting of Latinos for Jerry Brown group will be on Thursday, August 26th. For the latest information phone Adrian Vargas (408-314-2284), Charlie Lostanau (408-499-8369); or Karl Soltero (408-2591421).

ashington, DC – A new poll from Fox News finds that 68 percent of voters, including majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, say efforts to secure the border should be combined with reform of federal immigration laws by Congress. What do voters mean by reform of federal immigration laws? Sixty-eight percent “favor allowing illegal immigrants who pay taxes and obey the law to stay in the United States.”

In short, voters want a “both/and” approach to immigration reform, which is the essence of comprehensive immigration reform.

As the Fox News analysis puts it: “While more voters think the government should secure the border first (21 percent) than pass new immigration laws (7 percent), most -- 68 percent -say both should be done at the same time. That includes majorities of Democrats (72 percent), Independents (67 percent) and Republicans (65 percent).” The Fox poll also found that “a 61 percent majority of voters think it is ‘impossible to seal the border’ so there will always be illegal immigrant. About two-thirds of voters (68 percent) favor allowing illegal immigrants who pay taxes and obey the law to stay in the United States, little changed from 67 percent who favored doing so in 2007.”

Over at CNN, polls from May and July present an “either/or” choice: “What should be the main focus of the U.S. government in dealing with the issue of illegal immigration -- developing a plan that would allow illegal immigrants who have jobs to become legal U.S. residents, or developing a plan for stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. and for deporting those already here?” Given this wording, 42 percent favor a path to legal status and 57 percent favor stopping the flow of illegal immigrants, as if voters can only have one or the other. Buried deeper is the fact that 81 percent of those surveyed favor “creating a program that would allow illegal immigrants already living in the United States for a number of years to stay here, and apply, to legally remain in this country permanently if they had a job and paid back taxes.”

According to Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America’s Voice, “When given the option to have both border security and a path to legal status for the 11 million undocumented immigrants

USCIS recuerda a salvadoreños elegibles reinscribirse para el TPS

The Raging Grannies celebrated Social Security’s 75th year with birthday cake and songs.

Saving Social Security

By Cinthia Rodriguez El Observador

O

n Wednesday, August 18, members of different organizations gathered in front of San Jose’s Federal Building to protest against potential cuts in Social Security and Medicare by celebrating the 75th year of Social Security.

“As I tell people, you all can thank me later because I’m paying for those of you currently receiving social security,” said Jodie Reid, California Alliance for Retired Americans. “Our goal here today is to make sure that my kids will still be getting social security and will be paying into it for me, so that I can retire sometime.”

SAN JOSE SALSA FESTIVAL AUGUST 21, 12PM, ALUM ROCK VILLAGE RUDY MADRID SCHOLARSHIP FUND|TAPS KEYES CLUB FUNDRAISER AUGUST 29, TAP'S KEYES CLUB, SAN JOSE, 1PM 408-998-2714 TEATRO VISION OPEN HOUSE NEW HEADQUARTERS SEPTEMBER 3, 5PM 365 S.

While Social Security has helped generations of Americans retire with dignity, the battle against the federal program is heating up. According to Alliance for Retired Americans, opponents of Social Security are conducting a multi-million dollar campaign designed to fool the public about Social Security to lower the deficit.

“All through high school if anybody mentioned Social Security it was pretty much assumed that it’s not going to be there by the time we get of age,” said Lamar Williams of Silicon Valley De-Bug. “Kids grow up, they’re like it’s not going to be there so why should I worry about it.”

The event sponsored by California Alliance of Retired Americans, California Nurses Association, South Bay Labor Council, and Edge, explained that some people depend on programs like Social Security. They asked people to sign a petition to save the program and spoke about the possible solutions.

Some of those solutions include raising the payroll tax cap on Social Security taxes for the wealthiest Americans and putting people back to work in good-paying, American jobs. No one there wanted to work him or herself to death.

“These cuts really hurt me and it affects our children, mostly our new generation,” said Christy Wong of Community Homeless Alliance Ministry. “It’s the human rights that were fighting for.”

The beneficiaries of Social Security that were present at the rally believe that the deficit wasn’t created by Social Security and it hasn’t added to the debt. Instead, they recommended that everyone talk to their kids, grandkids, church members and community members because it must be saved.

“You hear so much about all these cuts that are happening here and there and people are surviving just on crumbs and this is exactly why we all decided to come out here and try to get the word out that there’s a lot of people that are suffering,” said Margaret Amaro, member of the Retirees Club. “I’m afraid because I see a lot of people that were cut off their jobs and that cuts into their social security.”

To get more information on how to save Social Security, you can attend a town hall meeting on Monday, August 30 at 6:00pm at the South Bay Labor Center, Hall A on 2102 Almaden Rd. in San Jose.

Health

See an Expert to Maintain Good Circulation (NewsUSA) f you are an average adult, you have enough blood vessels, arteries, veins and associated capillaries in your body to circle the earth four times. Placed end-to-end, these vessels stretch to almost 100,000 miles. Your remarkable circulatory (vascular) system is vital to keeping your body healthy and active. The blood flowing through it provides oxygen and nutrients your entire body needs.

With age, your vascular system may become blocked with cholesterol and plaque, and your blood flow may become impaired.

In severe cases, the loss of blood flow may contribute to stroke, aneurysm and peripheral arterial disease, which may cause pain while walking or limb-threatening foot ulcers.

Common sense about eating a healthy diet, exercising and not smoking all contribute to feeling good and keeping your vascular system healthy.

Like any health condition, if you experience problems with your vascular system, it makes sense to see the most qualified specialist to manage your symptoms. While

I

most vascular conditions do not require surgery, you will receive the most expert and comprehensive care if you see a vascular surgeon. Most often, vascular surgeons manage conditions with medication. Some conditions can be corrected with non-invasive procedures that offer good results and quick recovery. Only in the most severe cases is open surgery required.

Today's vascular surgeons are the only specialists who are skilled in all vascular therapies. They are comprehensively trained in medicinal, endovascular (minimally invasive) and surgical therapies. Vascular surgeons are the experts who provide the best diagnosis and treatment for vascular conditions.

Pay close attention to your circulation, and if you experience problems, see your primary care physician. If your doctor diagnoses a vascular condition, ask them to refer you to a vascular surgeon.

Parents: Tooth Sensitivity in Children Is No Laughing Matter (NewsUSA)

C

hildren's smiling faces will bring joy to most parents. A toothache, however, can quickly turn a child's smile into a frown. If your little one reports tooth sensitivity or pain, it may be time to visit a dentist. But if your child has no pain or sensitivity, you'll still want to use the best preventive techniques.

Most toothaches are caused by cavities or bacterial infections in teeth. The best defense against dental problems like these is a good oral hygiene routine. Twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing is a good first step toward preventing childhood dental problems. To give kids an even greater advantage for maintaining good dental health, some parents also choose to incorporate oral care probiotics, such as EvoraKids (www.myevorakids.com). EvoraKids is a chew that is designed to help support children's tooth health by introducing beneficial bacteria to the mouth.

"The probiotics effectively compete with certain harmful bacteria for both nutrients and space on teeth surfaces," says Dr. Jeffrey Hill-

man, D.M.D., Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Oragenics, Inc. "These beneficial bacteria can reach into the tiny crevices on the chewing surfaces of the teeth."

However, if your child does happen to complain of a toothache or sensitive teeth, despite your best preventive efforts, it may be something other than dental disease. Some toothaches can be caused by injuries, such as loosened, chipped or fractured teeth. Chips and fractures can lead to infection, so children who sustain mouth injuries should visit a dentist as soon as possible. Parents can help prevent mouth injuries by making sure that children buckle their seat belts, wear mouthguards and helmets while playing sports, don't run where slips and falls are likely, and don't try to chew very hard foods.

If your child complains of a sudden toothache, make sure it's not something simple, like a piece of food stuck in their teeth or gums, before visiting the dentist. You can also rinse the child's mouth with warm water to loosen any unseen items. If food is found stuck between teeth, gently remove it with floss.

Time Is Money When It Comes to Healthy Eating

(NewsUSA)

R

esearch shows that many Americans could eat healthier meals -- if they made more time.

In May, the USDA's food plan estimated that an individual would need to spend $70 a week to prepare healthy food at home. But a follow-up study in the Journal of Nutrition found that the USDA missed a major cost factor -- time. In fact, the value of the time spent chopping and cooking can outweigh the cost of food Cooking is labor intensive, and time is not an unlimited or free resource. According to a formula developed by economists at the Warwick University in England, an hour of time equals around $16.55.

Among breakfast, lunch and dinner over the course of a seven-day week (21 meals), the USDA recommends taking 9 to 16 total hours per week to prepare healthy meals -- this means the health-conscious cook loses $150 a week in labor.

Many Americans simply can't spend that much time washing lettuce leaves and chopping celery. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average working woman has only

five hours a week to spend on food preparation -- creating nutritious meals at home is an unlikely reality.

Some Americans are turning to meal-delivery services for healthy meals that don't require hours of cooking time.

Caroline Cederquist M.D., a bariatric physician and the developer of the Bistro MD meal plan, which offers physician-designed, metabolically balanced meals and free access to dieticians, explains: "When adding the USDA's conservative $70 for groceries and the $150 weekly value of time in preparing healthy meals, it becomes clear how spending as little as $22.85 a day for Bistro MD meals that are delivered right to your home is a real bargain."

Americans spend less on food than people in many other developed nations, but inexpensive junk food comes with a price -- fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, obesity and other diseases. A study by Johns Hopkins University determined that 75 percent of all U.S. adults will be overweight in the next five years.

Vacunas Gratuitas Contra la Tos Ferina

E

l Departamento de Salud Pública del Condado de Santa Clara está ofreciendo vacunas gratuitas contra la tos ferina. Cuatro clínicas ambulantes se han programado para ofrecer las vacunas. Las mujeres embarazadas podrán recibir la vacuna si traen una receta médica.

Las clínicas gratuitas de vacunación contra la tos ferina son para personas sin seguro de salud o sin acceso a un médico. Las personas mayores de 7 años que viven con un bebé o cuidan de él podrán recibir la vacuna.

La tos ferina ha sido declarada una epidemia en California. Hasta el 17 de agosto de este año se han reportado 3,076 casos, en comparación con 434 casos hasta la misma fecha en el 2009. Ocho bebés han muerto en California en lo que va de este año como consecuencia de la tos ferina. En el Condado de Santa Clara se reportaron 124 casos hasta el 10 de agosto, en comparación con 25 el año pasado. Hasta la fecha no se han reportado muertes en el Condado de Santa Clara debido a la tos ferina.

Los bebés corren el mayor riesgo de enfermarse y morir por la tos ferina. La vacuna contra la tos ferina es la mejor manera de prevenir esta enfermedad. El Departamento de Salud Pública ha concentrado sus esfuerzos de alcance a la comunidad latina, debido a que todos

los bebés que han fallecido este año en California por tos ferina eran latinos. Según las estadísticas, los bebés latinos menores de seis meses de edad corren el riesgo mayor de enfermarse (187 casos por cada 100,000).

S

chool is just around the corner and students of all ages are starting to prepare by buying their school supplies. However, there are some who are unable to purchase these supplies because they lack the funds to do so.

To meet this challenge, the County of Santa Clara Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) Pride team hosted its Fifth Annual Backpack and School â&#x20AC;&#x153;GIVE-A-WAYâ&#x20AC;? event, which was held on Friday, August 13 at the Department of Child Support Services building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our employees at Child Services and other county employees bought the items and took time to put this event together,â&#x20AC;? said Tina Torkelson, of the County of Santa Clara Department of Child Support Services (DCSS). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids need to get off on the right foot when school starts no matter what their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income is.â&#x20AC;?

Eligible families must have an active, open case with the Santa Clara County Department of Child Support Services. Eligible parents had to bring to this event documents with a valid case number dated within the last 30 days. Children had to be of school age 5-18 (no preschool or college), and should be enrolled for

the 2010-2011 school year.

The backpack and school supply distribution was complemented with a resource fair that provided information on available services and resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libraries donated their time and offered information on the many programs they offer.

We have a dentist here offering information on why it is important to brush your teeth, and we have West Coast Martial Arts trainers here to talk to the kids about the importance of exercise.â&#x20AC;? Torkelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very fortunate to have all these groups and businesses helping us out for this event.â&#x20AC;?

The Sheriff and the Fire Department were also at the event to talk to the kids about how to be safe.

All left over items were donated to other groups with similar purposes and who may need the supplies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to be donatin left over items to Tri-City Homeless and some womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groups across the county.

The mission of the Santa Clara County Department of Child Support Services is to promote the well-being of children and the self-sufficiency of families by delivering effective child support services to help meet the financial and medical needs of children.

Education

Hay que involucrarse en la escuela para ayudar a nuestros hijos Por Rosario Vital El Observador

D

iferentes estudios han revelado que la participación de los padres contribuyen en el rendimiento escolar de los hijos. La presencia de los padres en las actividades escolares ayudan a los hijos y al mismo tiempo -en estos tiempos de crisis económica que ha obligado el estado de California- sacan adelante el año escolar. ¿Qué es el PTA? Es una organización de volunta rios para ayudar a la educación. Es probable que haya escuchado en la escuela de su hijo o tal vez no. A través de esta organización los padres de familia se informan de todo lo que pasa en la escuela.

Tal es el caso de Martha Argandar Rosales quien tiene un hijo de 12 años de edad en la escuela primaria Millbrook en Evergreen. Martha está involucrada por más de 4 años ayudando voluntariamente a hacer traducciones, a recaudar dinero para sacar adelante a la escuela.

“Fui invitada por otro padre de familia y no me arrepiento de estar involucrada en las actividades escolares

de la escuela de mi hijo. Hemos logrado reunir dinero para ayudar a comprar materiales útiles para todos los estudiantes”, expresó Martha a EO. Argandar con tal solo las tapitas de los cereales ha logrado recaudar cientos de dólares. También se las ha ingeniado para lograr que los estu diantes ganen puntos y reciban donaciones como pelotas- estas últimas fueron llevadas a las clases de deportes.

En las reuniones del PTA la pre sencia de las madres de familia es mayoritaria. Sin embargo esto no ha mellado la presencia de uno de los pocos varones que si se involucra en las actividades de sus hijos. Frank Pedroza tiene un menor en la misma escuela de Millbrook y a pesar que su horario de trabajo ha variado esto no ha sido un impedimento para seguir asistiendo a las reuniones de gran importancia. Y por supuesto el ser uno de los pocos varones no ha frenado su participación.

Pedroza explica que la participación de los padres (padre o madre) en la escuela es vital, especialmente cuando hay las presentaciones de los maestros y el encuentro de padres.

“Cuando hay “open house” es cuando más los ninos quieren ver a sus padres. Me ha tocado ver a los hijos tristes en un 50% cuando los padres no han podido llegar.

Otra es la situación

cuando los niños se encuentran con sus padres en eventos de su escuela”, explica Pedroza.

Por su parte Pura Meyer madre de familia del mismo centro educativo ha integrado la junta de padres y se ha desempeñado como la presidenta. Meyer nota poca participación de padres en las escuelas. A diferencia de nuestros países en este país los padres en otras comunidades participan activamente.

Algunos padres justifican su inasistencia debido a sus empleos.

Tanto Meyer, Argandar y Pedroza afirman que esto no es una excusa porque ellos también trabajan.

Además los padres no tienen que vo luntariar todos los días, se trata de ayudar con alguna hora a la semana.

“Hay que tomar conciencia que lo que hacemos hoy se verá reflejado en el futuro educativo de nuestros hijos”, explicó Pedroza.

Casi el 50% de los niños inscritos en escuelas públicas en California son latinos. Aquellos padres que no han escuchado sobre el PTA tienen la oportunidad de buscar información en español en la página web http://www.capta.org/sections/espanol/.

Los padres que quieran formar un PTA pueden comunicarse a leadership@capta.org. En su email indique su nombre, teléfonos de contactos y ubicación. Si prefiere, puede llamar directamente la oficina local de California PTA al 916-4401985 ext. 301. Se habla español. Δ

Estar cerca a nuestros hijos en sus actividades escolares y participar en los centros educativos mejora la confianza en ellos.

Sacred Heart Community Service hosted its annual "Pack-a-Back" event, giving away over 2,000 backpacks.

Getting the essentials for school

By Cinthia Rodriguez - El Observador

O

ver 2,000 backpacks were provided to students in grades k-12 on Friday, August 13, at Sacred Heart Community Service.

"What we've really seen is just an exploding need in our community from families that aren't able to meet some of the basic needs and a lot of families, especially with the cuts coming down in the education system, are really concerned about their children's education," said Executive Director Poncho Guevarra, Sacred Heart.

This yearly event has been around for a few years and is referred to as the Pack-a-Back program. The non-profit Sacred Heart Community Service serves approximately 1,000 people a day and offers a wide range of services to those in need, like the backpack program.

"I came because I have custody of my grand kids and this helps us because it's less money I have to spend," said a grandma, who was waiting to be called to pick out the backpacks with her grandchildren.

This working grandparent had her hours and work days cut and is really feeling the effects of a bad economy.

She realized what a difference this could make on her budget and was glad she heard about it from her neighbor.

"Making sure that their children start the year right is a primary concern

among every family," said Guevarra.

"So in response to people's desire to have adequate school supplies to start the year right we've been doing our Pack-a-Back program."

The backpacks have everything from crayons, paper, markers, to folders and a scientific calculator for those in high school.

The planning began in February and in the last three months the collecting of items began. Sacred Heart reached out to its partners, community organizations and received support from different companies and churches.

"This is great help because we still have to buy uniforms," said Patricia Plancarte.

In the past, Plancarte didn't live in the area so she didn't qualify. It is the first time she will not have to buy backpacks for her two elementary students and a middle schooler. She was glad to hear about it while she received assistance with food.

Registration began on July 28 and information regarding the child's age and gender was requested. In addition to all those resources, Sacred Heart has also been able to provide gift cards to every child so they can buy shoes.

"With so many families worried about getting school supplies, the more important issue is worrying about their education," said Guevara.

he latest campaign, "Por Nuestras Familias- Todos a Votar, (For our Families- Everyone Vote)," made its way to San Jose on Tuesday, August 17. A handful of people met at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church awaiting the arrival of 15 campaign organizers, who traveled across the state registering people to vote.

Medina is one of the organizers who traveled in the bus that toured the state, beginning in San Diego and ending their trip in the Capitol. Some members from the California Teachers Association joined him, as well as other community leaders.

Over the last year, it became very clear to the travelers that there was a great debate going on in the country about immigration but it was not a debate about public policy, it was a debate about idealogical and political issues. So they decided that the only way they were going to be able to deal effectively with the problems

like SB 1070 was to make their voices heard.

"This election matters because it is about us, it is about our families, it is about our children, it is about our future," said Medina.

The bus stopped at a total of nine cities, where 75% of the Latino voters can be found.

At every city, people were being helped to register and commitment cards to vote were signed. Over 10,000 signatures were gathered.

Although the crowd shouted "everybody vote," not all of them qualify to register but, the

ones that could, were reminded of the thousands of undocumented living in the shadows.

A message of unity is sent by the campaign and served as a reminder to defend the Latino community.

"When I talked to people there (Arizona), the reason why it (SB 1070) passed, it began and ended with the fact that not enought people went out to vote," said councilmember Ash Karla. "If they had got the Latino vote out, that immigration law would not have passed and don't make the mistake of believing that couldn't happen here because it could if we don't get the Latinos out to vote."

The campaign leaders are worrieed that the Latino community will get disallusioned and they believe that can lead to disempowerment and things can get worse. They are concerned with anti immigration policies like the idea of amending the constitution and repealing the 14th amendment.

"Unless there's participation things aren't going to change," said Medina.

Medina wants to send a message to the politicians, that there is a price to be paid for attacking the Latino community. They will continue their statewide conversation after their last stop in Sacramento. They will send letters, make phone call, go door to door and make sure that the community will be heard like never before. He believes they cannot afford to waste a voice and by voice he means a voter.

To be eligible to vote in the November 2, 2010, statewide general election, you must register by October 18, 2010. Obtain and complete a voter registration form by visiting, www.todosavotar.com or call the Secretary of State's voter assistance hotline at (800) 345-VOTE or (800) 345-6863.

Vibras

ÂżCĂłmo puedes ver tu aura?

Por Mario Jimenez Castillo El Observador ÂżQuĂŠ es el aura?

El aura es el campo electromagnĂŠtico que rodea al cuerpo, es como si emanaramos una luz interna en la que reflejamos nuestro estado emocional, fĂ­sico y mental.

El aura esta constituida por microparticulas cargadas de energĂ­a e informaciĂłn.

PĂĄrate frente a un espejo a uno o dos metros de distancia. Coloquese delante de una pared blanca.

Efectue ejercicios de respiracion profunda durante un par de minutos.

ConcĂŠntrate viendo en el espejo la superficie de la pared que estĂĄ detras de usted. Use luz tenue. Vista con colores oscuros. Mientras vaya profundizando en la concentracion, comenzarĂĄ a observar los colores de su aura.

Al principio es probable que Ăşnicamente observe el color blanco, con la prĂĄctica lograrĂĄ ver todos los colores que emanan de su energĂ­a interna.

Si desea observar el aura de otra persona, simplemente pĂ­dale que se pare frente a una pared blanca a unos dos o tres metros de distancia de usted, utilice luz tenue, respire profundamente, concĂŠntrese y de inmediato se sorprenderĂĄ con lo que verĂĄ pues sentirĂĄ que la otra persona estĂĄ como iluminada por detrĂĄs.

Todos tenemos la capacidad de observar el aura mĂĄs cercana al cuerpo, llamada aura etĂŠrica. Del mismo modo podemos observar el aura que esta separada del cuerpo o aura astral. Ambas auras pueden reflejar colores diversos.

Cada color posee un significado especĂ­fico que dependerĂĄ de la magnitud y brillantez con que se proyecte.

Amarillo: Representa la fuerza de voluntad, la fe, el intelecto y la lucha por salir adelante.

Azul: Indica facilidad de comunicaciĂłn, intuiciĂłn, buena memoria, retentiva y creatividad.

Blanco: Suele reflejar la combinaciĂłn perfecta de todos los colores. Indica una fuerte vibraciĂłn del alma, protecciĂłn, buena salud, buenos sentimientos, curaciĂłn y valor.

CafĂŠ: Quien proyecte este color se deja llevar por la ira, es egoista y miente regularmente.

Escarlata: Denota que el individuo se deja dominar por sus emociones y pasiones.

Dorado: Color que refleja una buena autoestima, amor propio y amor por el prĂłjimo.

Gris: Es un color indicio de tristeza, estados emocionales depresivos y enfermedad.

Naranja: Proyecta la alegria de vivir, el entusiamo, la perseverancia, los deseos de justicia, la dignidad y el deseo de ayudar a los demas.

Negro: Color poco afortunado, quien lo refleje suele tener malos sentimientos.

Plateado: Indica que la persona es versĂĄtil, altruista, desinteresada y que se puede confiar en su discreciĂłn.

Rojo: Fuente de vitalidad, energĂ­a, pasiĂłn, poder de seducciĂłn, franqueza y emociĂłn.

Rosa: Es el color que indica que la persona da y recibe amor, sinceridad, ternura y felicidad.

Verde: Color que proyectan aquellos que sienten gran amor por la naturaleza, un balance perfecto entre mente, cuerpo y espĂ­ritu, ademĂĄs de suerte para las finanzas.

E

rin's (Drew Barrymore) wry wit and unfiltered frankness charm newly single Garrett (Justin Long) over beer, bar trivia and breakfast the next morning.

Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged summer fling, but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett stays behind for his job in New York City. But when six weeks of romping through the city inadvertently become meaningful, neither is sure they want it to end. And while Garrett's friends Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day) joke about his pre-flight calorie-cutting and his fulltime relationship with his cell phone, they don't like losing their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. At the same time, Erin's high-strung, overprotective married sister, Corinne (Christina Applegate), wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar road.

But despite the opposite coasts, the naysaying friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might have found something like love, and with the help of a lot of texting, sexting and late-night phone calls, they might actually go the distance.

Academy Award®-nominated documentary filmmaker Nanette Burstein ("On the Ropes") directed "Going the Distance," which marks her feature film directorial debut, from a screenplay

by Geoff LaTulippe. The film stars Golden Globe Award winner Drew Barrymore ("Grey Gardens"), Justin Long, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Christina Applegate.

The movie is rated R by the MPAA for sexual content including dialogue, language throughout, some drug use and brief nudity. In Theaters Friday, September 3

his past weekend, the third annual San Francisco Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival wrapped up.

Bands like King of Leon, Empire Of The Sun, Al Green, and The Strokes headlined the twoday festival. Unlike last year, festival goers were only exposed to a single Latino band.

That Latino band was no other than the

Aterciopelados. With one of the best vibes in the world, the Colombian band sang in front of their fans that chanted every song like Bolero Falas, Rio, and Cancion Protesta. They also performed their classic Florecita Rocker, the anthem of the band.

For photos of the entire festival and to see a live interview with Aterciopelados visit, www.LatinoLife.net

San Jose Giants celebrate Latino Heritage

"Chicharito" quiere abrirle las puertas a mexicanos en Europa

L

Joel Velasquez and his wife Janet Fisher organized the first ever San Jose Giants Latino Heritage Night.

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

O

n Sunday, August 15, the San Jose Giants hosted it first ever Latino Heritage night and wore special “Gigantes” jerseys for the occasion.

Joel Velasquez, a volunteer with the Bay Area Gardeners Foundation, and his wife, Janet Fischer put the event together.

“We put this event together because we noticed that The San Jose Giants have never had a Latino Heritage Night.” Velasquez said. “We brought the idea to the team and they loved the idea.”

Velasquez and his wife had been working on the event since October of 2009 and had several sponsors including Chevy’s and Alaska Airlines.

“The sponsors were also quick to jump on board and support this event,” Velasquez said.

The Bay Area Gardeners Foundation bought 5,000 tickets at a dollar a piece and sold them for $7. Families could by a four-pack for $20.

“All the money we made went towards our foundation, which offers scholarships to students regardless of their status,” Velasquez said. “Our foundation knows that some of these students are undocumented, which

makes it harder for them to receive any form of financial aid. We do not ask questions about their status. We just want them to be hard workers and be dedicated to receiving a higher education.”

There was also a silent auction that consisted of several San Jose Giants jerseys signed by players.

Velasquez said he felt the event was a success and that he plans on having similar ones in the future.

The Bay Area Gardeners Foundation began when Catalino Tapia saw motivated students in his community whose finances held them back from pursuing higher education. He discovered his community lacked foundations, organizations, and individuals with a vision to help struggling college students fulfill their educational goals.

Catalino, with a few fellow gardeners, wanted to change that.

The Bay Area Gardeners Foundation under Catalino’s leadership was formed in 2002. It began in Redwood City, San Mateo County, California where a large immigrant community supports education but lacks the resources to pay college expenses.

ondres, (Notimex).- El futbolista mexicano Javier "Chicharito" Hernández que con su llegada al equipo inglés Manchester United, puede abrirle las puertas a otros jugadores de México en Europa.Hernández, quien debutó el lunes en la Liga Premier en el triunfo 3-0 sobre el Newcastle al entrar al minuto 63 por Wayne Rooney, admitió que desde pequeño soñaba con la posibilidad de jugar en Inglaterra."Cuando era joven, siempre me gustó la liga inglesa y siempre quise jugar aquí.

Por eso es que estoy tan feliz de tener esta oportunidad", declaró hoy el internacional mexicano en conferencia de prensa.

Para el "Chicharito" jugar en la Liga Premier es también una gran responsabilidad, pues "significa que puedo abrir las puertas a jugadores en México y a que los equipos importantes de aquí piensen en

mirar a otros jugadores de mi país", expresó.

De esta manera, el ex delantero de las Chivas de Guadalajara confirmó lo que había comentado en días pasados su compatriota Andrés Guardado, mediocampista del Deportivo La Coruña, quien afirmó que el fichaje de Javier Hernández "está abriendo puertas para los mexicanos".

Por lo anterior, el artillero, de 22 años de edad, aseguró que trabajará duro con los "Red Devils" ya que "quiero crecer como ser humano, como jugador y, lo más importante, quiero ganar campeonatos con este equipo".

"The Little Pea", como es conocido Javier Hernández en Europa, es el cuarto jugador mexicano activo que se encuentra disputando la Liga Premier, junto con Carlos Vela (Arsenal), Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham) y Pablo Barrera (West Ham).

En información publicada en el diario Sport de España, se dan a conocer los nombres de los canteranos que el estratega Joseph Guardiola contempla para que ingresen de forma regular como parte del Barcelona.

Y es que Pep Guardiola, siempre ha considerado que es mejor dar la oportunidad a futbolistas que conoce, a los que ha visto crecer, antes de hacer fichajes con el riesgo de no obtener los resultados esperados.

El menor de los Dos Santos, ha logrado demostrar en varias ocasiones que merece la oportunidad que esta por darle Guardiola, por lo que seguramente luchará por quedarse como titular permanente, mientras que por el momento su ingreso servirá para darle descanso a Xavi Hernández.
