Remembering MLK

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

A

crowd of hopeful supporters awaited newly elected President Obama to make his acceptance speech over a year ago. Many cheered as loudly as they could, while others cried tears of joy.

Not only was the United States watching, but the whole world. Once again the world seemed to become a hopeful and positive place to live.

For his part, Obama was confident, intelligent and a charismatic individual who captivated everyone. His years of hard work propelled him to what he has become today.

Despite his success and accomplishments, Obama would probably not be where he is today if it were not for the determination, struggle and ultimate sacrifice of one man: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. King lived in an era when people were separated and truly judged by the color of their skin and not the content of their character.

He saw this wrong in society and decided to dedicate his life to correcting this injustice.

Like one of his influences, Mahatma Gandhi, King’s method for overcoming society’s injustices was through non-violence and stated, “The method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity.”

He organized and participated in bus boycotts, diner sit-ins, and spoke at rallies, his most famous being in front of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963.

Like Obama, King also won the Nobel Peace Prize and donated his money to various charities.

On April 4, 1968, King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.

King has been honored countless times for his work and sacrifice.

City streets and libraries are named after him.

There is even a national holiday in his honor.

But King will always be remembered not by how many streets and libraries are named after him, but by how he truly made the world a better place for all of us to live in.

King’s main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, which has enabled more Americans to reach their potential.

Today, aside from being the President of the United States, people of color serve as CEOs, high-ranking military officials and entertainment icons.

Sonya Sotomayor is a beneficiary of King’s work, becoming the first Latina to serve on the United States Supreme Court.

Martin Luther King Jr. is a name that will resonate over and over throughout time. He changed the world for the better, and he did it without violence.

Who Are the Aliens in this Nation of Immigrants?

By Gil Villagrán, MSW

T

he perennial controversy of who is native in this land we call America, which people are immigrants, who is native-born, who is legal, who is illegal, and who is alien is a long simmering cauldron of charges and counter-charges, name-calling, roundups and deportations, wars, denial of public benefits, inhumane exploitation and even genocide. The story of America is replete with all manner of invasion, conquest, plunder, enslavement of one people by another, theft of property and of children, and ultimately-formal strategic warfare and genocide of those deemed by official government policy as undesirable, expendable, and to be eliminated by any means necessary. This is our U.S. history, not necessarily taught in public schools, nor to most college students, and certainly not presented in the popular culture of brave pilgrims carving out settlements out of a mostly unpopulated wilderness, and later in western films creating myths of even braver cowboys on horseback and settlers in wagon trains.

Yet unless our nation’s true history is known by all, many will continue to naively ask, as I have heard for fifty years: Why are there so many immigrants in America? Why can’t Indians stay in their reservations? Why don’t Blacks go back to Africa? And why do so many Mexicans come illegally to our country?

There is a willful general public ignorance that our nation was founded upon pre-existing nations of native peoples, robbed of their land by European immigrants, sometimes enslaved, eventually forced off their lands, and millions killed by war and disease.

There is also the grotesque contradiction, initial to our nation’s founding, that in spite of all men being created equal, many immigrants soon bought kidnapped and enslaved Africans, forcing them with whip in hand to build the roads and cities, raise the crops, even to build our nation’s capital. The compromise written into our Constitution that declared enslaved humans as only 3/5ths of a white person poisoned our nation in such a manner that so-called moral, god-fearing men and women greedily profited from owning, breeding, and selling human beings, tearing families apart, raping women and then selling their children for further profit.

The slavery in this nation of free men (and women-without equal rights) led to a Civil War, but not before another war-a war of conquest of Mexico fomented by slave owners determined to ensure additional slave states west of the Mississippi River. Our nation won that war-taking half of Mexico as war booty, and would have taken all of Mexico, but for Congressional concern of what to do with all the unwanted Mexicans!

Manifest Destiny-a manic delusion that God himself willed that the U.S. reach “from sea to shining sea” contributed to this war and further land grabs that transmogrified our nation to a replication of the empires of European monarchies. Thus we grabbed Hawaii, Cuba and the Philippines for a while, and Puerto Rico to this day, and we now have more than 737 military bases throughout the world. American is an empire-as was Rome, Britain, and many others empires, now fallen by bankruptcy, overstretch and hubris.

As historian Howard Zinn explains, “If our starting point for evaluating the world around us is the firm belief that this nation is somehow endowed by Providence with unique qualities that make it morally superior to every other nation on Earth, then we are not likely to question a president when he says we are sending our troops here or there, or bombing this or that, in order to spread our values — democracy, liberty, and let’s not forget free enterprise — to some God-forsaken (literally) place in the world.”

We must realize that calling anyone an illegal alien indicates a willful ignorance of our nation’s complex history. It is time to recognize that we are all Earth citizens, deserving of humane treatment, one and all. Æ

School Reform Now Possible

By Hilbert Morales - El Observador

L

ast week, Governor Schwarzenegger signed two bills which were designed to improve California’s education system’s ability to attract federal funds being offered in the most recent “Race to the Top” program being promoted by the Obama Administration.

While getting as much funding as possible may be a good thing, another feature of this legislation is very important and must be understood by all parents who have children attending schools.

In an editorial published by the San Jose Mercury News on January 10, 2010 entitled “Parent Trigger:” A Turning Point in School Reform,” credit was given to Senator Gloria Romero (D-Los Angeles). Romero authored the legislation that provides parents with the power and authority to petition for changes in a school, and now, the school district officials must respond. Of course petitions must represent the majority of the parents. This means that parents are now being involved in the guidance and management of their children’s education and schools. Heretofore, that was the authority and power of teachers, school administrators, and the unions. Not any more. Parents now have full partnership authority. Parent & Teachers Association (PTA) meetings may now be used to collect, discuss, and prepare such petitions which must be accepted and responded to by school officials. School administrators have been required to meet and communicate with parents, however this was not uniformly implemented.

The Office of Senator Gloria Romero collaborated with Parents Revolution, a group in the Los Angeles School District.

These two devised and implemented an effective strategy which successfully thwarted the special interests who desired to remove this “Parent’s Trigger” from the proposed legislation. Ben Austin, Executive Director, Parent’s Revolt, simply argued that school boards, administrators, union officials, and CA State legislators must provide as much weight to parents concerns as to those of the powerful special interests of unions and teachers’ professional associations. The choice framed was simply “Unions or Kids”

and of course, “kids” won, as well they should. But parents also won because now parents have the responsibility of monitoring what goes on at school, and if there is not an effective teaching effort that benefits their child, they may form a majority opinion which is now a “trigger’ to which the school district must respond.

Parents Revolution desires that public schools fix themselves. This “Parent Trigger” makes them a stakeholder with a responsibility and an obligation to become engaged and involved. Many studies have established that students do best when their parents are involved and interested in their social and scholastic development. Much discussion of teaching methods, resources available, and the efficient use thereof must now involve the parents. All this represents a welcome change in the balance of power that may involve parents as fully engaged partners. This will be very good especially in those schools that are not meeting the expectations required.

All parents must know this new “Parent Trigger” as soon as possible. It is a feature that can be used locally by all stakeholders, especially parents. It must be applied locally as soon as possible because reports indicate that 30 schools in the County of Santa Clara are not meeting the educational needs of their students. All of these schools are located in low-income communities. It is imperative that all educational interests become fully informed in order to work together to enable the award of the maximum funding possible under the “Race to the Top” federal program.

Many feel helpless when dealing with the impact of the deficits at all levels of local, state and federal governments. However, here is something that can be initiated locally and which addresses our future: the educational development of our youth who must learn to successfully compete in a global economy.

The good news is that parents, acting collectively, now have a meaningful tool called “Parent Trigger” to express their concerns which initiate meaningful improvements in the current education system. Meaningful parent influence and involvement in school reform is now possible.

Líderes locales le dicen alto al odio en Arizona Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

E

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona.

Actualización acerca del virus H1N1 "No bajen las defensas" advierten los expertos Por Ngoc Nguyen

de 5.5 millones de personas, dijo Fielding.

El virus H1N1 no tiene cura, pero sí hay manera de prevenirlo...¡vacunándose! Ese es el mensaje que expertos en todo el estado le están diciendo al público, aunque los casos de la gripa H1N1 hayan alcanzado sus números más altos.

Las mujeres embarazadas, niños, jóvenes menores de 24 años y gente de todas edades con condiciones crónicas tienen más riesgo de infección y complicaciones por la gripa.

"Es demasiado temprano para bajar nuestras defensas", dice Ken August, portavoz del Departamento de Salud Pública de California. "Los casos de la gripa H1N1 puede que estén disminuyendo, pero [el virus] no está desapareciendo".

Los primeros dos casos confirmados de H1N1 en el país se encontraron en California, y ahora la mayoría de los condados del estado han reportado por lo menos un caso de H1N1. El virus ha hospitalizado a más de 7,546 californianos y ha causado casi 397 muertes, según los últimos datos del estado (http://www.cdph.ca.gov/HealthInfo/discond/Pages/H1 N1Home.aspx).

El estado calcula que más de 3 millones de californianos se han enfermado de la gripa H1N1.

"La gran mayoría de las enfermedades por gripa son del tipo H1N1. No estamos viendo casi nada del tipo de la gripa estacional ahorita", dijo August, que destacó la importancia de vacunarse contra el tipo del que hay más.

Los oficiales de salud destacaron la importancia de vacunarse contra la gripa H1N1, especialmente aquellas personas en los grupos de alto riesgo, y dijeron que no es demasiado tarde para hacerlo. Después de la vacuna, el cuerpo tarda hasta dos semanas en desarrollar la inmunidad, por lo que aquellas personas que se quieran proteger durante las fiestas navideñas deben inmunizarse durante las próximas dos semanas.

l Sheriff Joe Arpaio sigue aterrorizando las calles del Condado de Maricopa y continúa su maltrato físico en las cárceles. Hay perfil racial por toda la ciudad, el condado y el estado. Además se está aplicando una ley anti-inmigrante desenfrenada, explican las organizaciones pro inmigrantes de los Estados Unidos.

Por esta razón los grupos de derechos humanos se reunen el 16 de enero para una acción nacional y piden un alto al odio en el Condado Maricopa encabezada por el Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

“Queremos hacer público que Arpaio y otros alguaciles son racistas. Hay que encarcelar a criminales y no a inmigrantes. Pedimos al Presidente Obama a que tome acción inmediata para una reforma justa y humana y no redadas que separen a familias trabajadoras”, dijo el Director Asociado de la Coalición de Servicios, Educación y Derechos para el Inmigrante (SIREN), Richard Hobbs.

La organización SIREN representará al Área de la Bahía en esta protesta nacional.

La coalición moviliza a miembros de la comunidad del Condado de Santa Clara que parte de la esquina de Story y King rumbo a Arizona. El evento en Arizona tendrá lugar en el Parque Falcón. A la protesta llegará Dolores Huerta, Linda Rondstadt y Little Joe entre otros. El Observador estará cubriendo esta importante protesta.

Councilmember Kalra Calls Attention to Poverty in San José

Los expertos dicen que la epidemia ha culminado por ahora, pero es posible que veamos olas adicionales.

"Ya hemos tenido una segunda, y podremos ver una tercera", dijo Fielding.

S

La primera ola de infecciones H1N1 ocurrieron en la primavera (abril a junio), con el número de casos disminuyendo, pero nunca desapareciendo, durante el verano. Las infecciones tuvieron un alza de nuevo en octubre, después de que los alumnos volvieran a la escuela.

El doctor Takashi Wada, oficial de salud pública de la Ciudad de Pasadena, dijo que los casos de H1N1 pueden rebotar de nuevo después de Año Nuevo, ya que la gente suele reunirse más en interiores durante el invierno y viajar durante las fiestas.

A partir de principios de diciembre, California ha pedido 7 millones de dosis de la vacuna H1N1. El número de dosis pedido hasta ahora es suficiente para En el Condado de Santa Clara, las hospitalizaciones vacunar alrededor del 18 por ciento de la población del por H1N1 y la ausencia escolar se han estabilizado, estado contra el H1N1. según Joy Alexiou, portavoz para el departamento de Al principio los problemas de suministro dificultaron salud pública del condado. Pero, vacunarse sigue siendo una buena idea, dice, porque la actividad gripal los esfuerzos para vacunar en masa, dijo el doctor todavía es alta.

Jonathon Fielding, oficial de salud pública del Condado de Los Ángeles.

"Eso ha causado muchos problemas, porque las expectativas aumentaron, y no teníamos suficientes vacunas para hacerlas realidad y eso causó mucha ansiedad", dijo. El Condado de Los Ángeles ha recibido 1.4 millones de dosis, mientras que el grupo de alto riesgo es

"Las gripas son famosas por sus cambios y por ser imprevisibles", dijo Alexiou. "¿Habrá otra ola después del principio del año? No lo sabemos". El mensaje: Más vale prevenir que lamentar. Vacúnense.

Councilmember Ash Kalra

an Jose, CA- In 2008, 39.8 million Americans were living in poverty; 8.1 million families were living in poverty, respectively up from 7.6 million in 2007. Most Americans (58.5%) will spend at least one year below the poverty line at some point between the age of 25 and 75. According to the US Census Bureau, in Santa Clara County in 2008 the poverty rate was at 8.1 percent and it is continuing to rise. The current economic situation only adds to these numbers. Councilmember Ash Kalra is bringing light to this increasing problem. Kalra, along with his colleagues on the City Council, will be proclaiming January, “Poverty Awareness Month” in San José. Sacred Heart Community Center will be recognized for serving the impoverished in the City of San José.

Councilmember Kalra stated, “Unfortunately, poverty levels in our valley continue to rise due to the difficulties we have seen in the economy.

Therefore, it is incredibly important to continue to shed light on the issue of poverty and to recognize organizations such as Sacred Heart who work tremendously hard to eliminate poverty in our community.”

Cortese Addresses State of County

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

C

The County of Santa Clara Supervisor Dave Cortese, District 3.

ouncil members, Mayors and prominent businessmen and women gathered at the Holiday Inn on First St. in San Jose to listen to County Supervisor Dave Cortese (District 3), discuss what Santa Clara County has achieved in the past year, and what it hopes to achieve in the New Year.

"The county is on the move," Cortese said. "There is a lot to do and the clock is ticking. We need to get to work."

Supervisor Liz Kniss (District 5) will be stepping down this year from Board of Supervisors President and will be replaced by Ken Yeager (District 4).

The county appointed Dr. Jeff Smith as the new County Executive. One of his responsibilities is overseeing hospital operations in Santa Clara County.

"We looked at several candidates and even though he is from Contra Costa County, he was the most qualified for the job," Cortese said. "We felt that it was important to bring in someone who had health experience."

Cortese added that the county has secured funds to purchase the hospital facility in downtown San Jose.

The county has new initiatives in energy, such as solar.

"We want to go green and save money," Cortese said. "Loans will be given out to families who build environmentally friendly homes."

There will be a "new vision" within the Office of Human Relations. The office will be giving out more grant money to human rights groups.

"The county also needs to work on helping Latino youth in our communities," Cortese said. "Eighty-five percent of the youth in juvenile hall are Latino. This is

Matrimonio Gay busca igualdad S

an Francisco- Un juicio federal en el que dos parejas del mismo sexo buscarán desafiar el contenido de la Proposición 8, que prohibe los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo, se inició el pasado 11 de enero en la Corte Federal de San Francisco.

Al mismo tiempo y contra lo que se había anunciado, la Suprema Corte de Estados Unidos bloqueó de forma temporal la proyección del proceso judicial que sería transmitido por el sitio de Internet YouTube aduciendo que podría afectar e incidir en el desarrollo del juicio.

Se considera que este proceso de nueva cuenta va a revivir la polémica publica por la celebración de los matrimonios del mismo género y volverá a ser el detonante de la discusión nacional sobre el futuro legal de las uniones de estas parejas.

Las audiencias, que se espera se prolonguen de dos a tressemanas antes de conocer un veredicto y se enfocarán sobre la consideración de si la orientación sexual puede ser modificada como la legalización de matrimonios gay, podrían afectar al matrimonio tradicional y el efecto de crecer bajo la tutoría de dos madres o dos padres.

Independientemente de como se dé la conclusión de está audiencia, será inevitable que en cualquier sentido habrá una apelación ante la Suprema Corte de Estados Unidos por las partes en conflicto.

En las elecciones de California en 2008 y por un cerrado margen la mayoría de los votantes aprobaron con 52 por ciento la proposición 8 que establecía que los únicos matrimonios validos en el estado serían aquellos entre un hombre y una mujer.

Los abogados que representan a los demandantes son Theodore Olson y David Boies, un republicano y un demócrata que se enfrentaron en la demanda de George W. Bush y Al Gore y que determinó al ganador de la elección presidencial del 2000.

Los representantes legales han expresado que buscarán demostrar que la proposición 8 estuvo motivada por conductas religiosas o creencias morales irrelevantes o por una posición anti homosexual.

Las dos parejas demandantes están solicitando al juez federal de distrito Vaughn R. Walker a determinar que las uniones del mismo sexo pueden ser protegidas por la constitución y que el veredicto popular del año pasado en California violó los derechos de personas del mismo sexo.

unacceptable, and we need to take the necessary steps to fix this problem."

In the past, Santa Clara County and the City of San Jose have been bitter rivals when it came to receiving state and federal funds. San Jose officials and residents have also felt that the county has unfairly asked the city to contribute more funds and services.

"The County will be collaborating with the City of San Jose instead of arguing with it," Cortese said. "We will be looking into how much San Jose can contribute instead of demanding San Jose to contribute a certain amount."

Other topics included a stop to predatory lending and more funds for the VTA. "We also have a club called Super Heroes to help fight climate change," Cortese said. "This club is made up kids who want to work on fixing the environmental challenges they will be facing."

Académicos defienden matrimonio El testimonio de un profesor que dijo que la definición histórica del matrimonio en los EE.UU. implica el consentimiento de dos personas que entran en el acuerdo por el amor y el compromiso de crear un hogar estable. Nancy Cott, una profesora de historia de la Universidad de Harvard y autorade un libro sobre el matrimonio como una institución pública, dijo que los matrimonios del mismo sexo fácilmente se ajustan a esta definición.

En 2007 una controversial resolución de la corte estatal permitió la celebración de unos 18 mil matrimonios del mismo sexo lo que mostró un singular fenómeno de largas filas en numerosas cortes en especial en San Francisco y Los Angeles, en donde miles de parejas salían victoriosas mostrando su certificado de matrimonio.

Alliance for California Traditional Arts Honors San José Mariachi and Mexican Heritage Festival

S

an José, CA-The Mexican Heritage Corporation, producer of the annual San José Mariachi and Mexican Heritage Festival, announced the festival’s selection by the Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) to receive one of ACTA’s prestigious Living Cultures grants in support of traditional and folk arts.

“This award is especially timely as we recognize the musical heritage of the Mexican Revolution, which will mark its centennial year in 2010,” said Festival Artistic Director Linda Ronstadt. “This year our festival will try to tell the story of a time of profound change, upheaval and passion and recall for a modern audience the cadence and timbre of 1910.”

This year ACTA received 124 proposals and the San Jose Heritage Festival was among the 42 selected in a three day review process by cultural and community specialists.

The grant received by the Mexican Heritage Corporation is $7,500.

The Living Cultures Grant Program is supported by the Walter and Elise Haas Fund, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Metabolic Studio, a direct charitable activity of the Annenberg Foundation and the James Irvine Foundation, with additional support from the California Arts Council, the California Community Foundation and the San Francisco Foundation. The grants support the work of exemplary projects engaged with traditional and folk arts among the diverse communities of California.

“We’re honored to be joining the ACTA family of outstanding organizations who present, produce and preserve traditional and folk art in California,” stated Marcela Davison Aviles, President and CEO of the Mexican Heritage Corporation. “This grant is especially significant, because it celebrates and validates our work to preserve Mexico’s traditional arts and the heritage of California’s Latino history.”

Partners in School Innovation, A.M. Foundation & Alum Rock Schools Aim to Improve Student Success

S

AN JOSE, CA - Alum Rock Union Elementary School District, Partners In School Innovation (PartnersSI) and the Applied Materials Foundation announced the launch of their new partnership in San Jose, California to dramatically improve student learning by working with teachers, the District, and school leaders to raise student scores. Specifically, PartnersSI will work with the District to build a strong core instructional program in literacy and language, create systems and structures that foster teachers’ professional learning, and strengthen results-oriented leadership. The funds provided by Applied Materials Foundation will enable PartnersSI to deliver cutting-edge assessment and leadership training methodologies to improve quality of leadership and teaching while accelerating student education.

The new partnership was formed as a unique public/private response to the commitment made by Alum Rock’s superintendent and school board to boost grade level performance. This builds on a seven-year relationship between PartnersSI and the Applied Materials Foundation, which has already resulted in dramatically improved literacy and English-language proficiency rates in San Jose area elementary schools. When fully realized, the program will provide Alum Rock District with greater capabilities and capacity at a systematic level to close the academic achievement gap of its students, year after year.

“We are delighted to build upon our previous successes in San Jose and partner with the Applied Materials Foundation on this extensive opportunity to better serve the 13,000 students in

our district,” says Dr. Derek Mitchell, CEO of PartnersSI. “Ultimately, it is the children who will benefit from the Foundation’s vision to support organizations such as ours that improve the educational pathway. And it’s our commitment to work, shoulderto-shoulder with District leadership and teachers to create and implement unique systems that will accelerate academic performance.”

“The objective of the Applied Materials Foundation’s Education Initiative is to ensure that all students qualify to attend California colleges and succeed in life,” said Mark Walker, Executive Director of the Applied Materials Foundation. “Our focus is on improving our communities by closing the achievement gap for students from the lowest income areas and the lowest performing schools, and working directly with them to ensure success.”

“The results PartnersSI has generated with other schools around the Bay Area are top-notch, and we look forward to partnering with them and the Applied Materials Foundation as we undergo our own transformation,” states José L. Manzo, Alum Rock Superintendent. “We are excited to begin this collaboration that promises to build our capability to accelerate student learning by improving the quality of teaching and leadership in all of our schools. Our work together will include direct school reform support at Chavez Elementary in 2009-2010 followed by additional sites in subsequent years. Of particular note is that the objectives set forth in our partnership are aligned with our District’s pledge, presented on June 5, 2009, that all students will be proficient or advanced by the year 2011.”

$9 general, $7 for seniors and students with I.D., and $5 for children ages 5-10. Children under 5 can visit the museum free of charge.

Admission to the Rosicrucian Planetarium, Rosicrucian Research Library, and Rosicrucian Peace Garden is complimentary.

A landmark in San Jose since 1928.

Faith and community leaders from PACT in San Jose met this Wednesday, January 13 at the First Christian Church in San Jose.

Affordable Healthcare Now!

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

A

fter an almost yearlong battle over healthcare reform, President Obama will soon be signing new legislation regarding the matter.

However, individuals on both sides of the argument are unsatisfied with the proposal that has taken so long to become a reality.

On Wednesday, January 11, religious and community organizations gathered at the First Christian Church in San Jose to hold a Prayer Rally to urge the area Congressional delegation to make affordability a priority in final health reform legislation.

“The purpose of this event is to remind our elected officials that healthcare affordability for all is our top concern,” said Marie Moore,

a community organizer who works with People Working in Community Together (PACT).

“This is sort of a final effort before the final legislation goes in front of the president for him to sign. This bill should protect all of us.”

According to a report by the People Improving Communities Organization (PICO), who also participated in the rally, voters consistently identify affordability as their top priority for health reform. They rank adequate subsidies to help people afford coverage higher than other issues (such as the public option) that have gotten far more media and political attention. Public support for an individual’s responsibility to purchase insurance hinges on people’s belief that coverage will be affordable.

“A cap should be put on premiums and that cap should be there for the individual’s lifetime,” Moore said. “A percentage of the money

should actually go for health care and not for profit by the health insurance companies.”

Moore added that the organizations are also asking for a large Medicaid expansion and for employees to provide quality benefit packages.

“The benefit packages should be the same for all, regardless of income,” Moore said.

The PICO report concluded that the success of health reform rests not only on making health care more affordable for working families, but on setting premiums and out-of-pocket costs at levels that voters view as fair and reasonable. Adequate subsidies are essential to the fundamental goal of guaranteeing quality affordable health coverage to all Americans and to the political reality of maintaining the public will needed to effectively implement reform.

Ultimately, adopting the strongest elements

of the Senate and House legislation, including the House premium, plan values and out-ofpocket subsidy scale for low and moderate-income workers, will increase public support for reform.

Moore believes that the situation will get worse for people if affordability is not added to the health bill.

“About 15,000 people lose their health insurance everyday,” Moore said. “This is unacceptable and needs to stop.”

The People Acting in Community Together organization is a multi-ethnic, interfaith organization that empowers people to create a more just community. PACT represents 22 congregations and 50,000 people in Santa Clara County, and is part of the PICO National Network. www.pactsj.org

¿ESTAMOS LISTOS PARA UN TERREMOTO?

Hay que estar listos para un desastre como éste ocurrido en Haiti el pasado 12 de enero. El terremoto de 7,0 ha destruido a una gran parte de la población.

Por Rosario Vital - El Observador o hay que ser “Nostradamus” para pronosticar un sismo en California. El Área de la Bahía ha sentido recientemente sismos. Un fuerte terremoto de 6,5 en Eureka ha sido declarado estado de emergencia. En Haití un terremoto de 7.0 ha destruido esta zona y ha dejado miles de muertos y millones de afectados.

Queremos que esté preparado y sepa qué hacer en casos de sismos. A continuación los pasos a seguir proporcionados por el Estudio Geofísico de los Estados Unidos (USGS).

Infórmese en nuestro calendario comunitario sobre las clases de CERT. PASO 1-Identifique los peligros potenciales en su hogar y comience a corregirlos Cuando la tierra tiembla, todo dentro de su hogar se mueve. Las cosas se caen de los estantes, los objetos colgantes se desprenden de las paredes, los vidrios se rompen, los muebles pesados, televisores y las computadoras pueden moverse por el cuarto PASO 2-Haga un plan de desastre Platique con su familia o compañeros de vivienda sobre los terremotos y por qué necesita prepararse para enfrentarlos. Asegúrese que todos los miembros de su familia o compañeros de vivienda sepan qué hacer antes, durante y después de un terremoto.

Planifique dónde se encontrarán después de un desastre PASO 3-Prepare equipos de provisiones en caso de un desastre Mantenga un equipo hogareño en caso de desastres en envases grandes a prueba de agua que puedan moverse fácilmente y por lo menos tenga provisiones para 3- a 5-días.

Agua, comida enlatada, medicina , ropa que abrigue, dinero en efectivo, radio, linterna y baterias.

PASO 4-Identifique las debilidades potenciales de su edificio y comience a repararlas ¿Su hogar, condominio, o apartamento podrá resistir un terremoto?. Edificios construídos o remodelados antes de 1978 son más propensos a sufrir daños en un terremoto porque no fueron construídos

N

de acuerdo a los códigos de construcción moderna.

PASO 5-Protéjase durante el sacudimiento de un terremoto • “AGÁCHESE, CÚBRASE Y AGÁRRESE.” Cuando sienta un temblor fuerte, agáchese al piso, métase debajo de una mesa o un escritorio resistente y agárrese firmemente hasta que pare el sacudimiento de tierra.

• No se pare en los marcos de las puertas y no salga afuera.

• Aléjese de las paredes y las ventanas exteriores, albañilería dañada (tales como chimeneas), muebles altos y cuadros o espejos colgados.

• Si no puede meterse debajo de un escritorio o mesa, agáchese al piso contra una pared interior y protéjase la cabeza y el cuello con sus brazos.

• Si está cocinando, apague la estufa antes de buscar refugio.

• Si está en un edificio alto, evite las ventanas.

No use los elevadores.

• Después del sacudimiento de tierra, prenda el radio para escuchar información acerca del terremoto.

PASO 6-Después de un terremoto, revise por lesiones y daños. Anticipe réplicas sísmicas (terremotos secundarios) y tome acción para protegerse, “AGÁCHESE, CÚBRASE Y AGÁRRESE.” Cuando el terremoto deje de temblar, vea si su familia ha sufrido lesiones y si su hogar ha sufrido daños.

PASO 7-Manténgase a salvo • Cerciórese de que su hogar esté fuera de peligro antes de ocuparlo y que no haya riesgo de que se derrumbe por réplicas sísmicas (terremotos secundarios).

• Esté seguro que no haya escapes de gas en su hogar antes de encender fuego o de usar algunos aparatos eléctricos o mecánicos que podrían generar chispas (interruptores de luz, generadores, serruchos cadeneros o vehículos de motor).

• Verifique si hay derrames químicos, cables eléctricos o cañerías de agua rotas. Es muy peligroso que el agua toque los cables rotos.

• Desconecte los accesorios o artefactos eléctricos. Podrían causar incendios cuando la electricidad sea restaurada.

• Cuando esté adentro, nunca use estufas de campo, linternas o calentadores de gas o kerosén, parrillas de gas o de carbón, generadores de gas, ya que puede escapar el gas mortal de monóxido de carbono y causar incendios durante las réplicas sísmicas (terremotos secundarios).

Manténgase informado • Prenda un radio portátil o del auto para escuchar informaciones y consejos de seguridad • Llame a su contacto fuera de la ciudad, digales su situación y deje de usar el teléfono.

It s Still Important to Protect Yourself From the H1N1 Flu Virus

S

an Jose, California - The Santa Clara County Public Health Department is encouraging county residents to get vaccinated against pandemic H1N1 influenza. Pandemic H1N1 flu still poses a serious health risk and getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself against the H1N1 flu virus.

National Influenza Vaccination Week is an annual observance to highlight the importance of flu vaccinations after the holiday season into January and beyond. Raising awareness about getting vaccinated right now is more important than ever because most county residents still have not received their H1N1 vaccination. Supplies of the H1N1 vaccine were limited in the fall, when most people typically consider getting vaccinated. Now is a good time to get vaccinated because the H1N1 vaccine is more widely available and the H1N1 virus is still causing serious illness in Santa Clara County.

Up until last week, the H1N1 vaccine had been directed only for those at high risk for illness or serious complications from the H1N1 flu virus. Now it is available to the general public and anyone who hasn’t received his/her H1N1 flu vaccination should contact their provider to get it. Retail pharmacies are also offering the H1N1 vaccine.

The Public Health Department is using this opportunity to raise awareness about the need to get vaccinated against the pandemic H1N1 flu at a time when demand for the vaccine may drop significantly. While no one can predict whether there will be a third wave of H1N1 flu as has been experienced with other flu pandemics, we do know if more people are vaccinated, the disease is less likely to spread in the coming months.

Every year, certain days during National Influenza Vaccination Week are designated to highlight the importance for different groups to get vaccinated. This year’s national schedule includes a special focus on: healthcare workers, people with chronic conditions, children, pregnant women, young adults, and seniors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released 30- and 60-second public service announcements urging people to get vaccinated. To view the PSA, visit http://www.cdc.gov/CDCTV/INever/ If you have not received your vaccination yet, you should get it as soon as possible.

Contact your healthcare provider to see if he/she has received the H1N1 vaccine. To find a retail provider near you, enter your zip code in the Flu Vaccine Locator box at www.sccphd.org.

If you don’t have health insurance, check the Public Health Department’s website at www.sccphd.org for information about how to get the H1N1 vaccine.

“Como me duelen los pies” es una frase que a menudo se escucha de las mujeres embarazadas. Pero, ¿es el dolor de pies un síntoma con el cual deben convivir durante el embarazo? De acuerdo con el Colegio de Cirujanos de Pies y Tobillos de los Estados Unidos (ACFAS) la respuesta es “no”. Existen muchos métodos para ayudar a aliviar el dolor en los pies.

Según Marybeth Crane, DPM, FACFAS, una cirujana de pies y tobillos del área de Dallas, las mujeres a menudo sienten dolor en los pies durante el embarazo debido al incremento de peso, la inestabilidad y la hinchazón en los pies. “Durante los últimos cinco años, he notado un incremento en las mujeres embarazadas con dolor en los pies debido a que hay más mujeres activas, incluso que corren maratones, durante sus embarazos”, afirmó la Dra. Crane.

ACFAS recomienda las siguientes pautas para ayudar a mitigar el dolor en los pies durante el embarazo.

Pies con dolor, hinchados: las mujeres embarazadas a menudo sienten los pies punzantes e hinchados debido a la excesiva acumulación de líquido (edema) en los pies a causa del peso y la posición del bebé. A fin de reducir la hinchazón, coloque los pies en alto siempre que sea posible, estire las piernas con frecuencia, use calzado cómodo y ancho y no cruce las piernas cuando esté sentada.

Dolor en el arco del pie: el dolor en el arco del pie se puede deber tanto a la fatiga en el arco como a la pronación excesiva (o al pie plano). La pronación excesiva ocurre debido a un desgaste excesivo del ligamento (la fascia plantar) que sostiene erguido el arco del pie.

La mejor manera de prevenir el dolor en el arco del pie es estirarlo todos los días a la mañana y antes y después de cualquier ejercicio, no camine descalza y use zapatos que soporte bien el pie y de tacón bajo.

Calambres en los pies: estos dolorosos calambres se deben a un aumento del volumen sanguíneo y a los altos niveles de progesterona causados por el embarazo. Para evitar calambres, incremente la circulación rotando los tobillos y elevando los pies cuando este sentada.

Si los calambres persisten, intente dar vueltas a la manzana caminando e incluya estiramientos diarios de los músculos de las pantorrillas.

Uñas encarnadas: la tensión excesiva debido a zapatos ajustados pueden provocar dolorosas uñas encarnadas. Dele un respiro a sus pies: use calzado más ancho durante el último trimestre del embarazo para evitar que se encarnen las uñas. Si tiene una uña encarnada, evite probar la “cirugía en el baño”. Cortar repetidamente la uña puede causar que el problema empeore con el tiempo. Es mejor buscar un tratamiento por parte de un cirujano de pies y tobillos.

También es habitual que las mujeres sufran un cambio en el tamaño de sus pies durante el embarazo. “Puede ocurrir un crecimiento permanente en los pies de las mujeres, hasta media talla, debido a la liberación de la misma hormona, relaxina, que permite que la pelvis se abra para dar a luz al bebé. Vuelve más flexibles a los ligamentos de sus pies, lo que causa que los pies se vuelvan más anchos y más largos”, Añadió la Dra. Crane.

El embarazo y la futura maternidad deben ser una alegría. Si el dolor en los pies persiste, una visita a un cirujano de pies y tobillos puede producir alivio con tratamientos conservadores tales como la terapia física, órtesis del pie, calzado que sostenga bien el pie y procedimientos menores en las uñas.

¿Cómo protegerte de los envidiosos?

Por Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador l 2010 se perfila como un año de grandes esperanzas, y aunque por todos es sabido nos espera por fin salir a flote en cuanto a la recesión económica, por ello debemos mantenernos optimistas, y no esta por demás buscar una pequeña ayuda en objetos considerados como reliquias para llamar la buena suerte.

Los talismanes desde épocas antiguas han sido considerados como objetos de gran valor místico que al ser utilizados de la manera correcta, pueden atraer buenas vibras y buena fortuna a su usuario.

Los amuletos por su parte son objetos que se pueden cargar consigo para contrarrestar malas vibraciones y fuerzas negativas.

Talismanes para el trabajo y el dinero Entre los más efectivos se encuentran las pirámides, los diversos tipos de budas, las figuras relacionadas al sol y la luna, el pentagrama, los cristales de cuarzo, las piedras ojo de tigre y ojo de gato, las figuras de jade, la estrella de David, la herradura de caballo, las figuras de elefantes, los

E

arbolitos de bambú, las matas de ruda, los espejos octagonales, figuras decorativas del feng shui, la piedra imán, el ojo de Horus, la figura del trébol de cuatro hojas, las campanillas de viento, una estampa o cuadro de San Martín Caballero y las puntas de las flechas.

Estos talismanes se utilizan de manera decorativa en el hogar, la oficina, los comercios y cualquier centro de trabajo. Para mayor efectividad deben limpiarse periódicamente, y deben comenzar a utilizarse en día jueves, día relacionado con Júpiter el planeta de la expansión.

Talismanes para el amor Lo más recomendado para contar con buena estrella en el amor son los cristales de cuarzo rosa, las velas color rosa, las matas y flores de lavanda y cualquier objeto relacionado con el planeta Venus y la Diosa Afrodita. Los cristales de cuarzo deben colocarse en pares, se les debe limpiar semanalmente con agua mineral y se exponen al sol una vez al mes. Los talismanes deben ser maniobrados únicamente por su dueño.

Estos talismanes deben usarse comenzando en

día viernes, día relacionado a Venus, el planeta asociado al amor.

Amuletos de protección Muy efectivos son aquellos relacionados con figuras celestiales como los escapularios de la Virgen del Carmen y San Antonio, las medallitas de San Cristóbal, San Miguel Arcángel, Santa Bárbara, San Alejo, la medalla milagrosa y las siete potencias.

Toda imagen que represente a Dios, Jesucristo, las advocaciones de la Virgen María y los Santos; los cuadros con motivos angelicales, los salmos bíblicos, las estampitas de vírgenes y santos, los rosarios, los crucifijos, la cruz de Caravaca, los libros de oraciones, las novenas y las cadenas de oraciones. Comience a utilizar amuletos en día domingo, día asociado al “poder divino”.

Jaime Camil y Blanca Soto listos para decir Regresa México, (Notimex). aime Camil y Blanca Soto son los protagonistas de “Regresa”, una comedia romántica escrita y dirigida por Alejandro González Padilla, que llegará a la cartelera nacional el próximo 22 de enero con 300 copias. “Ernesto” (Camil) es un alto ejecutivo que nunca tiene tiempo para convivir con su esposa, ni siquiera para celebrar alguno de sus aniversarios. Siempre se le ve con el celular en la mano arreglando asuntos con “los gringos” o con los chinos, con el fin de incrementar su fortuna. El comportamiento de “Ernesto” es la razón por la que “María” (Blanca Soto) tomará una severa determinación que lle vará sus vidas al extremo y las modificará de alguna manera. Se trata de una película llena de algunos momentos humorísticos, sobre todo con la participación de quien por su forma de reír hace recordar al fallecido actor Luis Manuel Pelayo.

Smokin’ ACES 2

F

ederal agents once again match wits with a cadre of creative killers in the high-octane feature-length film Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball. Walter Weed (Tom Berenger) is an unassuming desk jockey at the FBI when the Bureau uncovers a plot to assassinate him.

A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey (Martha Higareda), a power-tool wielding psychopath (Vinnie Jones) and a deadly master of disguise (Tommy Flanagan).

Also in the hunt is the fan-favorite Tremor family from the original film, featuring nymphomaniacal gun-nut (Autumn Reeser) and her lethal kinfolk (Maury Sterling, Michael Parks and C. Ernst Harth).

Máncora: Historia de amor y pasión Por Rosario Vital El Observador

P

ara que toda película tenga éxito tiene que contar con un buen guionista y quién mejor que Oscar Torres. El joven salvadoreño de larga experiencia cinematográfica escribió Voces Inocentes, su primer guión de cine sobre la brutal guerra salvadoreña y fue todo un éxito. También escribió la película “La mujer de mi hermano” otro éxito más.

“Cuando estoy solo me distraigo, cuando estoy en compañía me puedo concentrar e inspirar para escribir guiones”, dijo a EO. Torres no necesita ir hasta las playas norteñas del Perú para escribir “Máncora”. Título de esta película que ya está en DVD y que tuvo lugar en “Máncora” una playa paradi siaca en el país andino.

Se concentra en los personajes y así fluyen las historias que han dado el éxito en los diferentes festivales cinematográficos. No por algo ha recibido 60 reconocimientos de la crítica de todo el mundo incluyendo el premio a la Mejor Película en el Festival de Cine de Berlin en el 2005.

La película cuenta la historia de Santiago Pautrat (el pe-

ruano Jason Day), cuya vida se transforma para siempre cuando se entera que su padre se ha arrojado de un puente.

Es que la tragedia decide a su hermanastra Ximena (la española Elsa Pataky) que vive en Madrid, de que es hora de viajar a Lima para estar con Santiago, y lo hace acompañada de su esposo Iñigo (el norteamericano de orígen cubano Enrique Murciano). Pero cuando llegan, se topan con la noticia de que, superado por los acontecimientos, Santiago ha decidido marcharse a la Máncora del título, una hermosa playa ubicada al norte del país, a la que tanto él como Ximena solían ir cuando eran niños. Los que se hayan perdido esta verdadera joya del cine peruano, ahora podrán verla en DVD a partir del 12 de este mes. Ahora”Máncora” puede verse en español con subtítulos en inglés, y tiene un precio de venta al público de $ 19.98.

Torres sigue trabajando en proyectos cinematográficos y piensa lanzar uno titulado Madre de Dios un guión parecido a AVATAR. “Coincidentemente escribí algo relacionado al planeta, naturaleza y humanidad, muy parecido a Avatar y cuando salga estoy seguro que les va a encantar”, concluye el escritor. Mientras tanto sigue viviendo entre México y Los Angeles y con muchos escritos de por medio.
