ABOUT EL OBSERVADOR'S REGISTERED TRADE MARK Hilbert Morales, M.P.H., Publisher, EL OBSERVADOR

E

O Publishers decided that the readers of EL OBSERVADOR should be informed about the following recent development: EL OBSERVADOR, a weekly English & Spanish language publication launched in May 1980 by EL OBSERVADOR PUBLICAITONS, INC. has been operational since 1980 as a community publication owned and operated by American citizens of Mexican Heritage. After acquiring ownership, publishers Hilbert and Betty Morales registered its banner (EL OBSERVADOR) with the U.S. Patent Office in 1986.

On February 8, 2010, EO publishers were informed that its EL OBSERVADOR banner, which is its registered trademark and 'brand name', was being used by Deseret News, which is owned by Deseret Management Group, Salt Lake City, Utah. Deseret News launched its 'new Spanish language publication' having the banner "EL OBSERVADOR"

this past February 9, 2010. This is a clear infringement of this registered trademark and is an unlicensed use of 'intangible, intellectual property' owned by EL OBSERVADOR PUBLICATIONS, INC. EO publishers are rightfully concerned that their existing long term business relationships with advertisers located in 36 of the 50 American states are being compromised by Deseret News recent actions, its recently launched Spanish language "El Observador" publication. EL OBSERVADOR PUBLICATIONS, INC. cannot and will not be responsible for any material published under the banner "El Observador" by Deseret News of Salt Lake City, Utah, which is owned and operated by the Deseret Management Group, Salt Lake City, Utah.

EL OBSERVADOR has served the San Jose, CA. (Capital of Silicon Valley) over the past 30 years. During this time it has earned much good will and acceptance by the local and national Hispanic community. Its services

are information distribution with cultural and language sensitivity, commitment, involvement and engagement. Many social, economic and public policy issues are presented to its readers with an informative objective approach which has been recognized many times over the years by the National Association of Hispanic Publications, Inc. (NAHP) located in

the Washington, D.C. area.

The EO publishers would welcome our reader's comments and support in coping with this recently developed situation about EL OBSERVADOR's registered trademark. Email your comments to hmorales@elobservador.com and/or phone 408-938-1700, ext. 104 (voice mail checked daily).Δ

"Su Participación es Vital" Por Congresista Mike Honda (D-California)

E

ste mes, diez preguntas llegarán a su buzón. Entre los muchos mensajes, este es uno que usted no debe desechar. Es el Censo, el cual define cuantos re presentantes irán al Congreso por cada estado y también determina como los $400 billones de dólares del gobierno federal serán utilizados en proyectos como hospitales, escuelas, centros de entrenamiento laboral, centros para ancianos, obras públicas y servicios de emergencia.

Obtener la información sobre los habitantes del país, genera 1.4 millones de empleos.

Pero el Censo no contará a millones de personas, ya sea porque la gente no sabe del Censo o porque las personas tienen miedo que su información sea compartida con las autoridades de inmigración - esto no va a suceder!

Cada persona no incluida en el Censo nos cuesta mucho. El Censo del año 2000 dejó por fuera a más de 522,000 Californianos, lo cual resultó en la pérdida de $1.56 billones de dólares en ayuda federal al estado durante los ultimos diez años.

Además, si las personas no devuelven los formularios con la información necesaria, se debe enviar a personas para que las visiten puerta a puerta, a un costo adicional de $100 millones de dolares. Su participación es vital. Con el poco tiempo que nos queda, debemos redoblar nuestros esfuerzos para que el conteo no sea incompleto.

En primer lugar, debemos asegurarnos que hemos financiado adecuadamente el trabajo de enlace comunitario. Como miembro del subcomité que supervisa los gastos del Censo en el Comité de Comercio, Ciencia y Justicia en la Cámara de Representantes, abogué para que no fueran reducidos los fondos para el Censo en más de $7 billones de dólares. Pero la historia en California es pésima, debido a las limitaciones y prioridades equivocadas en Sacramento: mientras en el Cneso del 2000 se utilizaron $25 millones, para el Censo del 2010 solo se destinaron $3 millones.

Para contrarestar esto, lideré una delegación ante el Gobernador Arnold Schwarzenegger para que incrementara los fondos destinados a organizaciones que realizan trabajo comunitario. El presupuesto aumentó, pero en mucho menos de lo necesario. En mi distrito, la Fundación Comunitaria de Silicón Valley salió al rescate y aportó $250,000 dólares para organizaciones comunitarias. Son estas organizaciones locales las que tienen la llave para efectuar un conteo exitoso.

En Segundo lugar, el Censo debe llegar a gente en comunidades que son difíciles de contar,

al hablarles en su idioma, porque uno de cada cinco residentes habla un lenguaje diferente al Inglés en su hogar. Esto es muy importante para nuestro distrito. En 2007, el periódico Mercury News reportó que el Condado de Santa Clara tenía el porcentage más alto de inmigrantes en el estado, con 36% de personas nacidas en el extranjero. Nacionalmente, el Condado ocupa el primer lugar en el número de personas que hablan Vietnamés, el segundo lugar en personas que hablan Hindi, el tercer lugar en personas que hablan Chino y el cuarto lugar en personas que hablan Farsi.

En el año 2010, la oficina del Censo en el Condado de Santa Clara, incrementó el número de empleados a 33, y está gastando gran parte de su presupuesto de $133 millones de dólares en campañas publicitarias para llegar a comunidades étnicas aisladas. Esta acción ayudará mucho. Los anuncios de televisión en 28 idiomas, y las consultas de ayuda a 150,000 negocios y grupos comunitarios indican la seriedad del esfuerzo para llegar a todas las comunidades.

Aun así, los errores son un problema nacional. Un formulario de ejemplo traducido al Vietnamés describió al Censo como una "investigación de gobierno." Un estado contrató a linguistas Chinos en respuesta a una petición para especialistas Koreanos y Vietnamitas. La falta de especialistas en idiomas está afectando muchas comunidades Asiático-Americanas. Debemos remediar esto - y pronto!

En tercer lugar, en nuestro trabajo comunitario se debe explicar el compromiso del Censo para mantener confidencial la información sumi nistrada por las personas. Si los funcionarios del Censo usan la informacion con otros fines, se ariesgan a terminar en la cárcel, pues esto es una ofensa federal considerada seriamente por las Cortes Judiciales.

Por último, nuestro trabajo comunitario no debe de dejar ningún aspecto sin atención. Me he reunido con el director regional del Censo, he hecho anuncios de servicio público y he abogado por un plan de medios de comunicación al nivel de Condado. Estamos efectuando conferencias informativas, organizando eventos el día 26 de Febrero, y además, estamos en coordinación con organizaciones comunitarias, empresas y escuelas por todo el estado de California.

Si bien el Censo no será perfecto, debemos evitar no censar a millones de personas, como sucedió en el año 2000. Nuestra habilidad de desarrollar políticas apropiadas depende de esto.

Help EO Provide Factual and Truthful Information

By Hilbert Morales - El Observador

I

n these days of easy access to information using electronic devices, much of that information is someone’s interpretation of the truth and the facts. It’s often misinformation. Too many individuals accept theses versions without the personal application of several simple questions: 1) Am I dealing with the facts and the truth of this matter? 2) Is what is being proposed or presented fair to all parties affected? 3) Does the proposed action promote peace and tranquility as commerce, which benefits the community? 4) Will my community benefit as much as others?

Do not accept information without applying your own personal critical evaluation thereof.

The outcome will be that you will not vote blindly come the next Election Day, Tuesday, June 8, 2010.

Resolve now to begin to visit El Observador’s Web site: www.el-observador.com.

Also, make a personal commitment to support this Latino owned and operated source of news by making a contribution to its operational expenses…just go to the Web site of El Observador Foundation, Inc., the sister non-profit entity which will use funds donated to assist worthy and needy individuals as well as other local based non-profit organizations.

Be informed that operations of El Observador require $1,500,000 per year that could be met by a $15 contribution (the mere cost of two economical lunches) by 100,000 individuals.

This means that one of five local HispanicLatino residents need to make a contribution.

The information provided on the Internet is not free because EO hires, trains, and provides wage payments to its staff, reporters, editors, photojournalists, etc. It will thrive economically as long as the community being served with good information steps up to contribute its responsible share. Finally, consider that every dollar contributed is used here locally in this community. Contrast that fiscal performance to tax payments which go to Sacramento and Washington DC where every dollar comes back to the community several years later as $0.65, compared to responsible contributions made to local social and economic challenges that we face together. Our governments take at least 18 months to respond with programs directed at local needs.

Good information is required by all individuals in order to deal with any challenge, especially personal and local issues. Information technology (computers, personal electronic devices) is changing the way we deal with others in all communities. It takes time, talent and treasure to collect information, organize it so presentations are understandable and communicated with integrity, truthfulness, and without prejudice or malice. All this requires money provided by those being served. That money can be contributed using PayPal on our nonprofit foundation’s Web site: www.el-observador.com (find the link to the El Observador Foundation).

Getting back to election campaigns, know that the informed participation of the HispanicLatino community is a step toward solving many civil and judicial wrongs that exist simply because elected representatives are not present in equitable portions in those enclaves where public policy is made. It is time to become fully engaged as the stakeholders that we are and have been. The Hispanic community now has college educated, informed, and creative individuals who will contribute to public policy decisions. And we must keep ourselves informed so that we may hold them responsible and accountable for their actions and decisions. Good transparent government takes a lot of effort to achieve. The most important effort is to ask if you are dealing with the facts and truth of the matters being faced today.

El Observador is committed to helping you help yourself. As contributing partners, we will grow together in this community. We are the source of good information because we are not only your representative publication that practices the “freedom of the press (First Amendment, US Constitution), but also provide to you the ‘power of the press.’ You would do well to become an involved, engaged, and supportive member of this community, which contributes and supports to your loyal community newspaper. Simply stated, HELP EO PROVIDE FACTUAL AND TRUTHFUL INFORMATION.

The Young Explorer

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

T

he early teen years are a time of exploration for most kids. It is a time to wonder what else is out there beyond their city, state or country.

But while most middle school students are exploring the world through video games, computers and the internet, Jose Rocha has an opportunity to set foot on foreign soil.

Jose Andres Rocha, a 7th grader from Quimby Oaks Middle School in San Jose, is one of two students from San Jose to be accepted into the People to People International Student Ambassador Program, an educational travel program founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The European Odyssey will take Jose to France, Italy and Greece for 20 days in the summer of 2010 as a member of the Central Valley (Stockton/Modesto) delegation.

“I want to see their culture, food and make friendships with new people,” Jose said.

During the 20-day journey, Jose will have an opportunity to stay at the home of a host family, take part in meetings with government officials, and participate in educational activities with other students of his age.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded the Program in 1956 on the principal that if people from different cultures came together in

peace and friendship, then the countries would soon follow.

Jose has also participated in other activities and programs throughout San Jose including Relay for Life in Saratoga, "Step Out to Fight Diabetes", the Organization for Latino Affairs (OLA), and the Hispanic Heritage Month Event Organization for Latino Affairs (OLA).

“I am very proud of him because he is not afraid and takes advantage of all the opportunities that come his way,” said his mother Leticia Rocha.

Jose’s other interests include soccer, math, science, social studies and NASA. “I want to be an astronaut like Jose Hernandez,” Jose said. “That is why I participate in EAA Young Eagles program.”

The total cost of the European Odyssey is $7,189.00, which includes all transportation, accommodations, meals and educational activities.

Jose is currently seeking financial sponsors to help him with his tuition expenses.

You can help send Jose on his European Odyssey by writing a $5, $10, $15, or $20 check to the People to People Ambassador Programs.

Do not forget to include his name and Delegation ID# 10051787 Name: Jose Rocha Delegate ID#: 10051787 Mail the check to: People to People Ambassador Programs

P.O. Box 34902 Seattle, WA 98124-1902.

To find out more about the People to People Ambassador Program visit www.peopletopeople.com or email Jose at JoseAndresRocha@att.net.

This young Hispanic student has already demonstrated a very high academic potential. He will benefit greatly from this experience. Consider providing him with your carefully considered support.

Losing to Alcohol

O

Middle School Girls Reminded of their Potential

By Cinthia Rodriguez - El Observador ilicon Valley Leadership Group and NASA presented the First Annual Silicon Valley Women & Girls Leadership Summit on February 12, 2010, at Peter Burnett Academy in San Jose. The half-day event featured keynote speakers, a panel, plus large and small group Q&A sessions among the girls and women executives.

"You are not alone and you're not the only one that has faced or dealt with whatever challenge you're facing," said Shellye Archambeau, CEO, MetricStream.

The panel participants shared the defining moments in their lives and the obstacles they had to overcome. A message of understanding was expressed to the 450 girls from the traditionally underserved middle school.

"Never comprise your passion," said Councilmember Nora Campos, San Jose City Council.

Like other executive women, Campos thanked her parents for pushing her and guiding her. She reminded the girls of activist Cesar Chavez and the importance of finding inspiration as soon as they can.

The summit also featured women of different stages in their life, race, age and area of expertise. Students conducted interviews with three sets of women at a time, giving them a chance to let girls know that their dreams are possible.

"What I remember about being in eighth grade honestly is, I was scared to death," said

S

Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard.

"So if your afraid today, its okay, its part of life, but don't let it stop you."

Fiorina spoke about aiming high because the higher they aim, the further they can get.

She also spoke about not letting other people define you or to tell you what you can or cannot do. Young women have to decide on their own and they have the power to choose how to act.

The girls were also told that surrounding themselves with the smartest people they can find is not a bad idea like many think. Instead, it can make things easier on them.

"You're going to have to work harder than men, be smarter than men, and you're absolutely capable of it," said Assemblymember Anna Caballero, California State Assembly.

"Education is the key."

The executive women spoke about their circumstances. The girls have to make sure they know that they don't choose their circumstances, but they can choose how to respond to those circumstances.

Education is just one of the many ingredients needed to affect circumstances. All of the panel participants spoke about going to college and chasing their dream. Although the middle school students have yet to finish high school, they have to take the time to choose their own path.

"You live in a country where actually everything is possible," said Fiorina. "But not everything is easy."

Policía busca testigos de crimen Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

A

menos de cuatro millas de distancia se estaba llevando a cabo el primer debate entre los candidatos que postulan para el puesto de Concejal del Distrito 5. Los candidatos explicaban sus planes de gobierno y sus estrategias de combatir los problemas de violencia que aquejan a su distrito especialmente entre los adolescentes.

Al mismo tiempo del debate se cometía el tercer crimen en la ciudad de San José. Muy

cerca de las 7 de la noche se apuñaló a José Espinoza, joven adolescente de 15 años de edad que fue pronunciado muerto en el hospital y a un segundo joven de 16 que resultó herido .

La policía pide la colaboración de la comunidad para dar con los autores del crimen ocu rrido en la calle Kollmar Dr. # 2700. Si tiene alguna información puede hablar y preguntar por el Sargento Dave Tindal o el Detective John Barg o llamar a Crime Stoppers al 408-947STOP (7867).

n December 20, 2008, Shelby Lyn Allen died from acute alcohol poising, also referred to as binge drinking.

In light of the loss, Voices United, the Silicon Valley Resource on Substance Use and Addiction, brought Debbie Allen, mother of Shelby.

"Teens think if they land at a house and drink, and spend the night (and don't drive); the worst that can happen is a hangover or embarrassing pictures on Facebook or Youtube," said Debbie Allen.

"None of them know that you can simply drink just a little too much alcohol, pass out and never wakeup."

Debbie Allen spoke to approximately 80 people on February 16, 2010, at the Mayfair Community Center. After her daughter's death, she promised to do everything she could to educate teens, young adults and parents to the risks in alcohol poising.

The crowd was able to see Shelby grow through a series of photos projected before the people. She was 17 years old and in high school she was in track and played volleyball. She would have graduated this year.

"I'm not here for my Shelby, she's not here," said Allen. "I'm here for you."

The Shelby Lyn Allen Alcohol Poisoning Foundation was started after Shelby's death and the message behind the foundation is that alcohol plus vomiting equals 911. Allen explained how some people can be left alone, thinking everything is okay, but the person can vomit, choke, and die.

Binge drinking is popular and vodka is also becoming popular because of the perks it offers

Debbie Allen, founder of The Shelby Lyn Allen Alcohol Poisoning Foundation. underage drinkers. The vodka is colorless and for the most part odorless. It is easy to drink more than eight ounces in less than hour and the more a person drinks in less time can be fatal.

"Our daughter made poor choices that night, but those choices should have never led to her death,” said Allen.

Shelby never had a chance to go to the Emergency Room. Her death was preventable and young adults need to understand that. The signs have to be recognized. Vomiting is one of those signs that people have an uncomfortable attitude with. That attitude needs to change.

"We don't ever have to lose a life again," said Allen.

NALEO Educational Fund, CommUniverCity San Jose, Somos Mayfair, and SIREN join on Census Outreach in San Jose SAN JOSE he NALEO Educational Fund, CommUniverCity San Jose, Somos Mayfair and SIREN (Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network) join together locally on the “ya es hora !HAGASE CONTAR!� Census Campaign (It Is Time, Make Yourself Count!) - to inform and motivate the nearly 50 million U.S. Latinos to fully participate in the 2010 Census.

The U.S. Census Bureau has had a poor track record when it comes to enumerating the growing U.S. Latino population. The 2000 Census, despite producing a net over count of the total population, produced an undercount of Latinos of around 3% (or one million Latinos). The ya es hora, ÂĄHAGASE CONTAR! Campaign will enhance the Bureau's efforts to count Latinos through a sustained and aggressive community education initiative to mobilize hundreds of local organizations on the ground. The campaign will also saturate targeted media with the assistance of Spanish-language partners Univision, Entravision and impreMedia.

"A census that fails to accurately count all

T

Latinos is a failed census," said Arturo Vargas, Executive Director of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund (NALEO). "As a community we need to understand that full participation in American life requires standing up and being counted."

Despite the intensive national effort that the Census Bureau intends to mount during 2009 and 2010, ensuring a full count of the Latino population will require a comprehensive, community-based effort. The census is taken largely through the U.S. postal system, and factors such as unlisted addresses, households with large families and high mobility rates contribute to persons being missed. The recession and large number of foreclosures in the Latino community will make enumerating this population even more difficult in 2010.

The ya es hora, ÂĄHAGASE CONTAR! Campaign will focus on promoting the importance of the census, educating individuals about filling out their census forms and encouraging households to mail back their responses once they complete their forms. This phase of the coalition's work builds on the success of the

ya es hora ÂĄCiudadanĂ­a!

Campaign of 2007, in which 1.4 million Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) became U.S. citizens, and the “ya es hora ÂĄVe y Vota!â€? Campaign of 2008, in which nearly ten million Latinos exercised their right to vote in the presidential election.

The ya es horaÂĄ HAGASE CONTAR! Census Campaign, CommUniverCity San Jose, Somos Mayfair and SIREN invite community leaders to join us for a press conference and comprehensive training on how to join the campaign and help achieve a full and accurate count of Latinos in the 2010 Census in Santa Clara County. At the press conference will be Arturo Vargas, Executive Director of NALEO.

LATINO POSTULA PARA ALGUACIL

Promete confiabilidad y responsabilidad fiscal en el Condado de Santa Clara Nombre: Richard Calderón Experiencia: Oficial retirado de SJPD Ex-Jefe de la Policia de Gustine Campeón de Box Edad: 56 Idiomas: Inglés, Español y Vietnamita Estado Civil: Casado Profesión: Maestría en Artes y Liderazgo

Por Rosario Vital El Observador

R

ichard Calderón ex oficial del Departamento de la Policía de San José estuvo por 30 años al servicio de esta institución policial y ha decidido ahora postular para ocupar el puesto de Alguacil del Condado de Santa Clara.

"Prometo trabajar con mi comunidad.

Como cabeza de una oficina que aplica la ley promoveré una trabajo amplio de cooperación al más alto nivel. El diálogo es uno de los elementos importantes", dijo el candidato por el cargo de Alguacil del Condado de Santa Clara.

"Deseo reducir el problema de pandillas juveniles promoviendo programas de prevención de pandillas para que permita maximizar el tiempo de los jóvenes. Cada año pagamos 82 billones por meter más gente a la cárcel", dijo Calderón.

En referencia a los recursos del Departamento del Aguacil Calderón se compromete a usar los recursos eficientemente para hacer del Condado un lugar seguro que beneficie a los ciudadanos y permita ofrecer mejor servicio a todos los miembros de la comunidad.

El año pasado Calderón se desempeñó como Jefe del Departamento Policial de la ciudad de Gustine y permaneció por corto tiempo.

A la Ciudad de Gustine no le gusto la rectitud y seriedad que lideró en el Departamento Policial. El pueblo "conservador" de Gustine se quejó de las multas de tráfico que recibía cons tantemente sin embargo la versión del actual candidato es que el quiso hacer respetar la ley en el marco de la constitución. "No

me excedí, hice cumplir la ley y no me fui a tomar al bar con el alcalde vistiendo uniforme y portando un arma como lo hizo el anterior jefe policial", explicó Calderón.

"Richard Calderón como Jefe de Policía desempeñó el mejor de los trabajos en esta comunidad. Por ejemplo él trabajó con un programa de verano para jóvenes en Los Banios e hizo cosas más allá de lo que la comunidad pedía", dijo Alejandra Crisoles.

Por su parte Dough Gorman consideró a Calderón como una de las personas más responsables y comprometidas con su comunidad.

"Había una falta de liderazgo en esta comunidad y él se mostró como un hombre justo e íntegro", añadió Gorman.

Calderón tendrá que correr con Laurie Smith (actual alguacil y que dice pocos la conocen del Condado), Martin Monica y Joe Charvez.

Calderón sería el primer latino en este puesto tan crucial para el Condado de Santa Clara.

In Checkpoints More Cars Taken From Undocumented than DUI

Meet the Candidates

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

S

an Jose Council member Nora Campos’ (District 5) term will be ending December 31, 2010 and four qualified candidates are ready to fill her seat.

On Thursday, February 11, the candidates held a forum at the Tropicana Buffet in East San Jose to speak to residents of the district, who are primarily Hispanic and Asian, and discuss the issues that affect their communities.

The four candidates are J. Manuel Herrera, Trustee for the East Side Union High School District; community activist and small business owner, Aaron Resendez; San Jose family advocate Magdalena Carrasco; and Xavier Campos, Chair of the San Jose Planning Commission. This forum was organized and sponsored by People Acting in Community Together (PACT), the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Service, Immigration Rights and Education Network (SIREN).

Background: Xavier is Council member Nora Campos’ brother. He is 43 years old and works as a policy aid for supervisor George Shirakawa. He attended Overfelt High School and is a graduate of San Jose State.

“My goal is to make District 5 thrive during this recession,” Campos told East Side residents. “I will also focus on public safety.”

Magdalena Carrasco is the daughter of immigrant parents and has worked with both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence.

“I have lived in District 5 for 21 years and have seen how the people of this district have suffered,” Carrasco said. “They have lost their homes and their businesses. I will work to see that they do not suffer anymore.”

J. Manuel Herrera is also the son of immigrant parents and has served as a Trustee for the East Side Union High School District for 20 years.

“I am committed to seeing that all of the children in our community succeed in life,” Herrera said.

Aaron Resendez has been a teamster and is dedicated to the success of small business in East San Jose.

“Our businesses have suffered long enough and it is time for a change,” Resendez said.

Business Issues: Several residents criticized Nora Campos for allowing companies like Walgreens and Target to move into the district and driving out small businesses. Xavier defended his sister’s decision by saying, “These companies have provided our community with several jobs which provided healthcare for their employees. If anything, we need more companies like these in this district.”

But the other candidates disagreed with what Campos has done to small businesses in the district.

“It’s an outrage how sweetheart deals have hurt our communities,” Herrera said. “The developers have taken money from our district and it is time for this to stop.”

Immigration and Police Relations Issues: These two issues concern many residents of District 5. However, the candidates did not seem to differ in their campaign platforms. All pledged to work with the police to improve relations with the community and all pledge to protect immigrant rights and to make sure they feel safe in the district.

It is still early in this campaign and there is no clear front-runner.

For more information, check out the candidates profiles in Facebook and or go to www.sccvote.gov. The election will be held on Tuesday, June 8, 2010.

OS ANGELES - PBS News Hour, the New York Times, and the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California, Berkeley, released an in-depth investigation over the weekend. Among other findings the report indicated DUI checkpoints in the state disproportionately target undocumented immigrants and raised questions about the automatic seizure and impoundment of vehicles from unlicensed drivers verses those cited for driving under the influence. While most cars impounded for DUI can be picked up the following day, the 30-day impoundment unlicensed drivers face generates significant revenue for the towing companies and the cities that they contract with.

State Senator Cedillo was interviewed for the PBS News Hour segment and commented, "Cities are exploiting a broken immigration system, exploiting broken state laws, taking advantage and exploiting the most vulnerable members of our society."

Cedillo has championed issuing driver's licenses to all drivers regardless of immigration status, for over a decade. He's presented versions of the bill, which adhere to the 9/11 Commission's Federal Real ID Act and include some of the most stringent security measures for a driving license in the nation. For Cedillo, licensing all drivers is the most direct means to improve public safety on our streets and highways.

The Senator has also questioned the legality of automatically seizing the vehicle of an unlicensed driver on the sole charge of being stopped without a license. The practice has been questioned in courts with some cities modifying their handling of such citations. A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling deemed the practice unconstitutional in certain instances and a second case is pending in federal courts. That case looks into the automatic 30-day impound of the vehicle, longer than the period for a DUI citation.

The joint report by PBS, the New York Times and the University of California, Berkeley found that in recent years the number of DUI checkpoints have increased significantly with many of the stops being staged in communities with high immigrant populations. The ratio for seizure of cars from an unlicensed driver to a driver cited for a DUI on average is 11 to 15 cars for unlicensed to one DUI per fiscal year. Here in Southern California the study found that in Montebello that ration was 60 to 1. In addition, the cars seized from unlicensed drivers are automatically subject to a 30-day impound, while a driver cited for a DUI in many cases can pick up the vehicle the next day. The study points out revenue generated from the 30-day impounds can be significant for the towing companies and the cities who they have contracts with.

RETÉN:

¿Negocio o redada?

Por Rosario Vital El Observador

L

os retenes no solo aterrorizan a las familias sino que también las lleva a una pérdida económica irrecuperable. ¿A dónde va el dinero de los retenes? Además de demostrarse que las personas indocumentadas son el blanco en los retenes un reporte realizado por el Programa de Periodismo de Investigación de la Universidad de California, Berkeley, ha des cubierto que en el 2009, los retenes generan un estimado de $ 40 millones por gastos de remolque y multas de la policía estatal. Las ciudades como Oakland, San Jose, San Rafael, Hayward y Redwood City dividen los ingresos con las compañías de remolque.

El diario New York Times explica en un extenso artículo los detalles sobre retenes en dife rentes ciudades de California. Por su parte El Observador a nivel local ha venido reportando en los últimos dos años las injusticias de los retenes y la odisea que tienen que enfrentar familias indocumentadas.

Luis Zavala residente de San José ayudó a su sobrino para sacar su auto cuando fue incautado por la policía de San José. "Esto ha sido un costo muy grande para la familia. Dejar a mi sobrino sin vehículo por 30 días es injusto. ¿dónde están los conductores ebrios? ¿Son los retenes un negocio?, esto devasta a la familia, parece una redada" explica Zavala.

Zavala dijo que en noviembre del año pasado su sobrino fue detenido por una oficial quien sospechó que era menor de edad. Al no tener licencia se le quitó el vehículo. A continuación los gastos que hace una persona que pierde el vehículo y que debe ser multiplicado por el número de vehículos incautados cada vez que hacen un retén en San José.

Gastos: $170 Remolque $ 70 cargo por demora en recogerlo $ 1,650 ($55 X 30 días) $ 180 Aprobación de SJPD para retirar auto $ 600 Multa de la policía (en proceso) Total: $2,620 Una persona que recibe una multa por conducir bajo la influencia de alcohol puede recoger su coche al día siguiente. Sin embargo la persona que no tiene licencia está obligado a dejar su vehículo por 30 días.

La oficina del Senador Cedillo explica que esto está generando ingresos significativos para las empresas de remolque y las ciudades.

Cedillo dice además que "Las ciudades son la explotación de un sistema roto de inmigración, que se aprovecha y explota a los miembros más vulnerables de nuestra sociedad".

El senador ha cuestionado la legalidad de la incautación de forma automática del vehículo de un conductor sin licencia por el simple hecho de no tener licencia. La práctica ha sido cuestionada en los tribunales en algunas ciudades y un Tribunal 9 no. del Circuito de Apelaciones considera que la práctica es inconstitucional y actualmente está pendiente en los tribunales federales "los 30 días" a que están obligados a pagar.

Cedillo ha defendido la expedición de licencias de conducir a todos los conductores independientemente de su condición migratoria, por más de una década. Se presentaron versiones del proyecto de ley federal que se adhieren a la Comisión 9-11 de la Ley Real ID y se incluyen algunas de las medidas de seguridad más estrictas para obtener una licencia de conducción de la nación. Para Cedillo, las licencias de todos los conductores es el medio más directo que tenemos que mejorar la seguridad pública en nuestras carreteras y autopistas.

Ebrios vs indocumentados PBS News Hour, El New York Times y el Programa de Investigación de la Universidad de California indicaron que las personas indocumentados son el blanco de estos retenes que tienen por objetivo atrapar a conductores ebrios pero que quitan desproporcionadamente los vehículos a los indocumentados.

La investigación cuestiona el hecho que exis tan más autos levantados que el arresto de conductores ebrios.

Esta investigación coincide con los reportes que hemos venido trabajando en los últimos años a nivel local en la ciudad de San José.

El Observador publicó en diciembre el número de carros incautados en los últimos retenes.

Desde mayo de 2008 a la fecha se han aga rrado más conductores sin licencias que conductores ebrios. Aquí la muestra que le daría una idea de lo que tiene que repartir la ciudad con la compañía remolcadora.

9 de mayo de 2008 568 vehiculos inspeccionados 4 arrestos for dui 30 conductores sin lincencia 3 conductores con licencias vencidas 36 vehiculos fueron levantados 29 de agosto 5th y santa clara 682 vehiculos inspeccionados 9 arrestos por dui 12 conductores sin licencia 3 conductores con licencias vencidas 22 vehiculos levantados 27 de septiembre 128 king y lido 1076 vehículos inspeccionados

3 arrestados por dui 1 arresto por narcótico 36 citados sin licencia 7 citados por licencias vencidas 47 autos incautados 17 de octubre South 1st. st y salida 280 489 vehiculos inspeccionados 9 personas por dui 21 conductores sin licencias 5 con licencias suspendidas 33 vehiculos fueron levantados 10 de abril de 2009 story king y lido way 919 vehiculos inspeccionados 9 arrestos por dui 1 orden de arresto 31 conductores sin licencia 5 conductores con licencias vencidas 33 vehículos levantados Retenes en barrios latinos El informe elaborado conjunto de la PBS, el New York Times y la Universidad de California, Berkeley, encontraron que en los últimos años el número de puestos de control de DUI han aumentado considerablemente con muchas de las paradas que se realizaron en las comunidades con gran población de inmigrantes. La relación de la incautación de los vehículos de un conductor sin licencia de conducir antes por un DUI en promedio es de 11 a 15 vehículos sin licencia para uno de DUI por año fiscal. En el sur de California, el estudio encontró que en Montebello la ración era de 60 a 1. En San José la mayoría de los retenes se hacen en el Distrito 5.

Mejoras en la economía y seguridad pública de San José Por Rosario Vital El Observador

E

l Alcalde de San José Chuck Reed anunció en su cuarto discurso de gobierno que a nivel global se han vivido momentos bastante difíciles que han puesto en aprietos económicos a la ciudad del Valle de Silicio.

"Construyento una base para el futuro" fue el título de su discurso anual en el cual abordó el tema del presupuesto, creación de trabajo y seguridad pública.

"San jose enfrenta un caída presupuestal de aproximadamente 100 millones de dólares en el año fiscal que empieza el 1ero. de Julio de 2010 y que va a afectar el presupuesto de los parques, bibliotecas, centros comunitarios y programas de recreación.

Asi mismo Reed exhortó a los sindicatos de la ciudad a trabajar con la administración de San José a fin de reducir el costo de los empleados.

"San José es la capital de Silicon Valley, el centro del mundo de la innovación. Nuestras industrias seguirán creando puestos de trabajo e invertirán en la innovación, las instalaciones y equipos. La pregunta es: ¿lo está haciendo en San José?" se preguntó el alcalde.

"Miles de residentes de San José han perdido sus empleos en los últimos doce meses. Nuestro pueblo necesita trabajo. A medida que la nación emerge de la recesión, debemos hacer todo lo posible para capturar los empleos y los ingresos fiscales que nuestras industrias líderes van a crear".

En materia de seguridad el Alcalde elogió el tremendo esfuerzo del Departamento de Policía y los bomberos. Reiteró que San José sigue siendo una ciudad segura y como prueba está la reducción de homicidios.

Afirmó que van a continuar trabajando en los asuntos del uso de fuerza pero no es justo responsabilizar al Departamento de la Policía en su totalidad basado en un pe-

Previo a su discurso se mostró un video con las opiniones de los niños de la Escuela Primaria Horace Mann quienes respondieron a la pregunta ¿Qué piensan y saben de la ciudad de San José?. Las re-

La corta vida de Tutankamón Miami, Florida

U

na investigación forense sin precedentes, liderada por el renombrado egiptólogo Zahi Hawass, ha logrado revelar la identidad de los padres y los abuelos del faraón Tutankamón, la causa de su muerte y nuevos detalles de su reinado. El especial de dos episodios, se transmitirá en Discovery en Español el sábado 27 de febrero a las 7 PM (ET/PT) y el sábado 6 de marzo a las 7 PM (ET/PT). La investigación, que también ha sido publicada por el la Revista de la Asociación Médica Estadounidense (The Journal of the American Medical Association - JAMA), detalla los estudios médicos y arqueológicos efectuados por un equipo internacional de expertos. La primera parte del especial EL ADN DE TUTANKAMÓN, documenta el proceso de extracción del ADN de la momia y los procesos realizados para determinar quiénes fueron los

miembros de la familia del niño faraón. La segunda parte del programa muestra, por primera vez en la historia, evidencias que ayudaron a determinar la causa de su muerte y revela nuevos aspectos de su vida y su reinado. ¿Quién hubiera pronosticado que la tumba del faraón Tutankamón se convertiría en el centro más avanzado de la Egiptología cuando Howard Carter la descubrió en 1922? EL ADN DE TUTANKAMÓN muestra cada detalle del exitoso proceso de extracción del ADN de la momia del faraón.

Aún con las muestras listas, el equipo de expertos reunidos en el laboratorio de ADN de Discovery Channel en el Museo de El Cairo tuvo que enfrentar un desafío tras otro en el momento de conectar todas las evidencias forenses.

¿Cómo exitar a tu pareja?

Por Mario Jimenez Castillo El Observador

H

ay cosas que resultan mejor que el Viagra. Lo tenemos al alcance de nuestras manos, son inofensivos y son naturales. Les comparto una lista de estos productos naturales.

Damiana Turnera diffusa Esta hierba se ha venido utilizando desde la antigüedad como un potente estimulante nervioso.

Fue hasta hace dos siglos aproximadamente cuando se descubrieron sus propiedades afrodisíacas tanto para hombres como para mujeres. Se produce mayormente en Latinoamérica y en naciones localizadas en los trópicos.

La damiana es recetada principalmente para curar la impotencia masculina, la frigidez femenina, la eyaculación precoz, la melancholia y la depresión post parto. También se receta para desintoxicar las vías urinarias y curar el mal de orín. Se le considera un afrodisíaco altamente conocido por su efectividad en corto tiempo. Los enjuagues con agua de damiana evitan la caída del cabello y le devuelven su color original.

Ginseng Panax quinquefolius Considerada una planta milagrosa en la herbolaria China, el ginseng se ha venido cultivando desde hace más de cinco mil años. Según cuenta la historia, Marco Polo fue uno de los primeros navegantes europeos que conoció de cerca los efectos curativos de esta hierba maravillosa.

El ginseng se recomienda para preservar la juventud, la energía, la potencia sexual y reforzar las defensas del sistema respiratorio. La tintura se recomienda para contrarrestar la debilidad en los pulmone y prevenir enfermedades como la tuberculosis. Naturistas orientales recetan el ginseng especialmente para fortalecer el sistema inmunológico. Su parte más utilizada es la raíz, se le puede encontrar en píldoras, cápsulas y té.

Jengibre Zingiber officinalis El jengibre es una planta originaria del sur de Asia, se ha venido cultivando desde hace más de dos mil quinientos años y fue introducida al conti-

nente americano por los conquistadores españoles en el siglo xviii, fue en aquella época cuando comenzó a añadírsele a las medicinas para evitar que éstas causarán malestares e irritaciones en el estómago. También es comúnmente solicitado en las artes culinarias.

Su parte más utilizada en la medicina natural es la raíz, se le considera como fortalecedor del sistema digestivo y estimulante cardíaco. La tintura es indicada para curar la indigestión, prevenir la flatulencia y sofocar las náuseas. El té se recomienda para contrarrestar la indigestión, la pesadez abdominal y el exceso de flema. Los masajes con el aceite esencial aminoran los dolores provocados por el lumbago, la artritis y los dolores del vientre. Se ha comprobado que ingiriéndolo en pequeñas dosis alivia los malestares causados por el embarazo. Se le reconoce como cura para la impotencia.

Yohimbina Pausinystalia yohimbe Según datos históricos esta hierba ya se conocía desde la época de las primeras dinastías egipcias, ya que los hombres de ciencia de aquel entonces la recomendaban especialmente para curar padecimientos genéricos del sexo fuerte. En Roma se le conoció como una fuente de virilidad para los hombres que sobrepasaban su cuarta década de vida.

Actualmente se pueden encontrar en el mercado una gran variedad de cápsulas y píldoras fabricadas con la hierba, las cuales prometen aumentar la potencia y el vigor sexual a cualquier edad. También se le reconoce como antídoto contra la impotencia, la falta de deseo y la eyaculación precoz. La yohimbina induce a la pasión sexual, promueve las erecciones prolongadas y actúa como agente rejuvenecedor en el organismo masculino.

On the local level, MHC has added to its team San José event production veteran Chris Esparza of Giant Creative as the Concert Production Manager, and Fil Maresca of Filco as the Outdoor Feria Production Manager.

"Arredondo debería retirarse" M éxico, (Notimex).- Iracundo, no tanto por la derrota 0-1 de último minuto frente a Cruz Azul, sino por la labor del juez central del partido Germán Arredondo, el director técnico del Morelia, Tomás Boy, explotó contra éste al señalar que debería renunciar.

"Es a cada rato, en cuartos de final (del Apertura 2009) contra Santos se comió dos penaltis, ¿es algo personal?. No lo sé. Y luego me anda buscando para pedirme disculpas, eso no se hace. Para mí (el silbante Germán Arredondo) se tiene que retirar".

Desde su arribo a la sala de prensa del estadio Azul, el timonel se quejó de la labor del nazareno, al señalar que a los celestes les permitió hacer gran cantidad de faltas y no las juzgó de igual manera.

Ello al hacer referencia a que el volante cruzazulino "Israel López cometió más de diez faltas y no le sacó una tarjeta", mientras en decisiones divididas siempre señaló a favor de Cruz Azul, y que no es la primera vez que las marcaciones son contrarias a los suyos.

Expuso que el examen sobre la labor de los árbitros "no me corresponde, esa es labor de ustedes (medios de comunicación), pero cada vez que vengo aquí si Morelia disputa el balón es falta a favor de Cruz Azul. Uno quiere hacer un equipo grande, que trabaje y nos represente bien, pero va uno a tener que tolerar estas cosas".

Admitió que sus pupilos fallaron las ocasiones más cercanas a gol que hubo en todo el partido, "pero si te atosigan en cada jugada, si te marcan y te marcan y te marcan (en contra) la cabeza se te va llenando de piedritas, es a propósito".

Agregó el timonel, antes de levantarse de su asiento: "De verdad es una cosa de locos, ¿qué méritos hizo Cruz Azul para ganar (hoy) por Dios?. Pero no se puede cuando es así. Sale Morelia a jugar de visitante de tú a tú. no puedo decir más, estoy muy molesto".

Mexicanos en "mundialito" de futbol del Vaticano

C

iudad del Vaticano.- (Notimex).- Los mexicanos son los más numerosos entre los futbolistas que participarán de la cuarta edición de la Clericus Cup, el "mundialito" de balompié exclusivo para seminaristas y sacerdotes que se juega en Roma con el aval del Vaticano.

Por primera vez en la historia del torneo la "legión azteca", con 49 miembros distribuidos en varios equipos, superó en número a los jugadores italianos, cuya presencia se redujo a 45; más atrás quedaron los brasileños con 26 representantes. Un total de 16 escuadras compuestas por 373 deportistas de 65 naciones diferentes se disputarán este torneo en las canchas del oratorio San Pietro, a unos metros del Vaticano.

La temporada iniciará el sábado 20 de febrero y se extenderá hasta 22 de mayo, fecha de la gran final. Dos equipos concentraron la más importante presencia "tri-

color": el Pontificio Colegio Mexicano con 27 jugadores, todos sacerdotes de diversas diócesis del país y el Colegio Mater Ecclesiae, con 12, estudiantes de la residencia romana de la congregación de los Legionarios de Cristo.

Pero también otros mexicanos forman parte de equipos como el Redemptoris Mater, el Colegio San Alfonso, el North American Martyrs, el Pontificio Colegio Urbano, el Colegio Pío Latinoamericano, el Instituto Guaneliano y el Sedes Sapientiae. "Vemos la presencia mexicana con gran simpatía y un poco de envidia, estamos seguros que la realidad mexicana no estará presente sólo en término de números sino que serán quienes mejor sepan interpretar los valores del deporte", dijo a Notimex Massimo Achini.

El presidente del Centro Deportivo Italiano, organizador la Clericup, auguró que la positiva participación de México sea una "anticipación profética" de lo que ocurrirá en el próximo Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010..

Challenger Hopes to One-Day Become Champion

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

M

ixed Martial Arts (MMA) seems to be the newest craze in sports. Events are held on a weekly basis and MMA apparel can be seen on just about anyone.

For some, MMA may seem like a hobby. But for others, it is a lifelong passion. Raul Castillo has been training in martial arts his whole life and is determined to be a top contender in the 185-pound weight class. On Friday, February 26, Castillo will battle Yancy Medeiros at StrikeForce's "Challengers" event at the San Jose Civic Auditorium.

EO: How old are you and how long have you been a professional fighter?

Castillo: I am 25 and I have been a professional fighter since 2006. I am from Half moon Bay. EO: What is your fighting style like?

Castillo: I am a Ju-Jitsu Black Belt. My specialty is my ground game.

I like to take my opponents to the ground and get them to submit. I have also studied Karate up to the age of 17.

EO: How does it feel to be undefeated in your MMA career?

Castillo: It feels good. I train hard and concentrate on one fight at a time. I put lots of heart into every fight I am in.

EO: What was it like to tryout for the UFC Ultimate Fighter?

Castillo: It was a good experience. I learned about the business and what it was like to be a character. Right now I am happy being able to compete and work with StrikeForce.

EO: What do you think about your opponent and how have you prepared for him?

Castillo: Well, he came down from the 205-division and he has a very strong ground game. He also has heavy hands and will do his best to resist any take down. I have been training very hard for him.

EO: What are your goals in MMA? Castillo: To continue to be able to compete at the highest level in my weight class and to one day become a champion.

EO: What's next for you?

Castillo: I will be competing at the Abu Dhabi Ju-Jitsu Cup in the United Emirates.
