OPINION

¿Puede una persona en proceso de separación pedir la ciudadanía? La persona contrajo nupcias en el 2006 y recibió su documentación en febrero de 2007.

L

amentablemente no se puede aplicar para la ciudadanía por unos meses más. Tiene que esperar hasta febrero de 2012 cuando tenga cinco años de residencia (puede aplicar tres meses antes de su quinto aniv ersario de residencia). Si un individuo está casado con un ciudadano, esa persona puede aplicar en tres años pero la pareja no puede estar separ ada. El hecho que usted todavía esta casada con su marido no es suficiente para aplicar temprano.

Mientras que está esperando, usted puede empezar a estudiar porque ahorita inmigración avanza rápido. En Filadelfia, esta demorando solo tres meses desde la fecha cuando uno aplica par a la ciudadanía y hasta que tenga su entr evista.

Debe estar preparada.

USCIS tiene mucha información en su website (www.USCIS.gov). Hay requisitos sobre su presencia dentro de los Estados (tiene qu e haber estado dentro del país físicamente por 30 meses de los últimos 60) y tiene que pasar el examen de la historia y el gobierno en ingles.

Si no pasa el examen la primera vez, ellos van a darle otro oportunidad, pero solamente un más.

Si fracasa la segunda vez, tendrá que reaplicar y pagar el honorario otra vez.

Desafortunadamente, la aplicación N-400 ya cuesta $595 y $85 para los biométricos (fotos y huellas) para un total de $680.

Tal vez, si usted estudia y pase el examen sin problema, usted puede ser parte de las ceremonias. Estudie bien y solicite cuanto antes. Va a tener tiempo par a votar en la próxima elección para presidente también.

Buena suerte.

From Parchment To Pavement

By Hilbert Morales

Hmorales@el-observador.com

T

he U.S. Constitution was recorded on parchment. The original is on display in the Library of Congress. It is essential that one read the U.S. Constitution to have a personal knowledge of this basic document.

It is the basis of ‘law and or der’ within the many div erse cultur al communities which make up the American society today . Many need to r elate the ‘fr eedoms’ and/or ‘right s’ enumerated in the U.S. Constitution with the personal responsibility that accompanies each ‘freedom’ and ‘right’.

A basic matter is ‘citizenship’. Those born within the United States are deemed to be citizens by ‘birthright’. However, the situation, at the time the U.S. Constitution was written and adopted,was that all those involved, founding fathers and all others, were ‘immigrants’ who had left their European home. The U.S. Constitution accorded citizenship to these immigrant Europeans while ex cluding slaves and Native Americans. Later the four teenth amendment defined ‘citizenship’ further.

The F ourteenth A mendment, S ection 1 , reads as follows: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction ther eof, are citiz ens of the United States and of the states wher ein they reside.

No State shall make or enforce any law which abridges the privileges and immunities of the citizens o f t he U nited S tates; n or s hall a ny State d eprive a ny p erson o f l ife, l iberty, o r property, without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”. Section 2 contai ns the phrase “excluding Indians not taxed”. It al so refers to male inhabitants being 21 y ears of age and citizens of the United States as having the right to vote. This XIV Amendment was proposed June 13, 1866 and adopted by Congress July 21, 1868.

The 1X Amendment, r atified A ugust 20, 1920, reads as follows: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied nor abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congr ess shall have the power to enforce this Article by appropriate legislation.”

The People who ar e citizens have the r esponsibility to vote for or against candidates for elected office and for or against pr opositions and measures which when passed b y a majority or 2/3 vote become the ‘law of the land’. In a r epresentative republican democracy, it is the r egistered voter who makes the ‘yea’ or nay vote which elects or recalls or ap-

proves a proposition or measure.

Immigration laws provide a process for non-citizens to become ‘ naturalized citizens’.

Ideally, immigr ation is r egulated and monitored in a fair and humane manner along with controlling the national borders. Such is not the case today. At one point, the Chinese Exclusion Act decreed that these orientals could not become citizens.

Today an estimated 13 million residents of the United States are deemed to be ‘undocumented’ (illegal). One of ev ery 24 residents is undocumented. It is time that Congress begins to deal with the formulation of legislation r esulting in comprehensive immigration reform.

A first incremental step needs to be the enactment of the proposed ‘Dream Act’.

By not directly dealing with the formulation of comprehensive immigration reform, an already very complicated situation is becoming more so . In the effor t to deal with undo cumented (illegal) immigrant labor, the tactics have shifted towards making employers determine if an emplo yee has ‘l egal r esidence’.

Some 18 States now require employers to utilize the E-Verify system to determine if a social security number is authentic. A requirement is to not emplo y any individual who does not have a valid social security number. Employers are penalized (fines or withdrawal of business license) if found to be emplo ying undocumented l abor. Employers may hav e to deal with 18 different sets of regulations as an outcome. A federal law would make for uniform standards thereby reducing administrative enforcement costs.

Another f actor t o c onsider i s t hat i mmigrants to America tend to hav e high intell igence le vels. With the curr ent need to tr ain more skilled laborers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and the biomedical sciences, it seems r easonable to permit u ndocumented r esidents t o b egin a process leading to naturalized citizenship.

Given today’s emphasis on one of two ideologies (Democratic Party vs Republican Party or Liberal vs. Conservative) and the very pressing national debt limits issue, it is time that all elected officials read the parchments that constitute the U.S. Constitution, including all 27 amendments, to enable dealing with the business of “We the People, who desire to have a more perfect Union”. It is time to r ead those parchments or hit the pavement after the next election.

New World Record

Largest Hamburger weighs 777 lbs!

P leasanton, C A, — History was made on this day at the 99th Annual Alameda County Fair— breaking the record for the world’s largest hamburger with al l t he t rimmings f or a

final weight of 777 pounds. A 10-person crew spent 13 hours of actual cooking time on the burger alone.   The fo rmer w orld r ecord was 590 pounds. Guinness World Records will make the

final determination.

April Mitchell, E vent & Marketing Manager at the Alameda County Fair said the burger far exceeded all expectations, “It was a wonderful event shared by the commu-

nity.â€? Enthusiastic patr ons waited pa tiently u ntil t he burger was cooked to acceptable doneness —according to health official’ s standar ds— which is an internal temper ature of 160 degrees.Â

Por 30 aĂąos, Breathe California ha luchado para proteger a los residentes de los peligros del humo de segunda mano. El humo de segunda mano contiene mas de 250 quimicos toxicos y cobra las vidas de 50,000 Americanos cada aĂąo.1 Mientras el fumar ha sido prohibido en los locales publicos, muchos restaurantes todavia permiten que la gente fume en los patios donde tambien cena la gente exponiendo a los clientes y trabajadores a niveles peligrosos. Pero con ayuda de los oficiales locales, restaurantes, grupos comunitarios y residentes, podemos avanzar las leyes que protegen a todos del humo de segunda mano en nuestra comunidad.

OPINION POPULAR Una encuesta en 2005 mostro que el 70.8% de Californianos y 79.8% de los residentes del condado de Santa Clara piensan que el fumar NO deberia de permitirse en los patios de restaurantes donde la gente cena.

uego de haber cr eado pr ogramas para resolver los desafío s que encontraron en sus experiencias per sonales, tr es líder es extr aordinarios de la educación superior fueron reconocidos con el Premio 2011 a los Campeones de la Diversidad en las Profesiones de la Salud otorgado por The California Wellness Foundation (TCWF).

Charles Alexander de la Univ ersidad de California en Los Ángeles presidió programas dirigidos a estudiantes de bajos ingr esos y primera generación a fin de mantenerlos encaminados en las carreras de la salud y la ciencia. José Ramón Fernández-Peña, en City College of San Francisco y la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco, reconoció el potencial de contar con profesionales de la salud inmigrantes par a atender a las comunidades marginadas. John Matsui de la Univ ersidad de California en Berkeley enfr entó los obstáculos que afectan a los estudiantes de salud y ciencia provenientes de situaciones desfavorecidas, quienes suelen ser pasados por alto y se pierden en el sistema.

El 1 de julio TCWF reconoció a estos tres líderes en su no vena entrega del “P remio a los Campeones de la Diversidad en las Profesiones de la Salud” en el marco de una ceremonia especial que se llevará a cabo en Los Ángeles. En reconocimiento a sus esfuerzos por acercarse, orientar y ayudar a los estudiantes marginados interesados en las profesiones d e l a s alud, c ada h omenajeado recibirá un premio de $25,000 en efectivo.

Incrementar la cantidad de trabajadores de la salud así como su div ersidad cultural es importante a la hora de mejorar la salud de los habitantes de California. La población de nuestro estado continúa aumentando y , para el año 2020, será may or en cuanto a edad y a su diversidad étnica y racial. Actualmente ya se obser va una falta mar cada de trabajadores en casi todos los sectores de la salud. Un personal que refleja la diversidad racial y étnica de California estará mejor capacitado par a entender y tr atar las car ac-

terísticas culturales y lingüísticas de todos los californianos a fin de ofrecerles atención médica de calidad.

“La cambiante composición demográfica de nuestro estado y la actual falta de tr abajadores de la salud ponen de r elieve la necesidad de priorizar aquellos esfuerzos que permitan a los jóv enes y profesionales capacitados fuera del país seguir carreras en el área de la salud”, dijo Gary L. Yates, presidente y director ejecutivo de TCWF. “Estos líderes han impulsado políticas y programas modelo basados en la educación superior que apoyan a los estudiantes a lo lar go de su tr ayectoria en las pr ofesiones de la salud”.

José Ramón Fernández-Peña, M.D., M.P.A. Luego de inmigrar a los Estados Unidos, José Ramón Fernández-Peña descubrió las complicaciones de revalidar una certificación médica en el país. Unos 10 años más tar de, fundó la Iniciativ a Bienv enida (W elcome Back Initiative o WBI) con la meta de ayudar a los profesionales de la salud graduados en el e xterior a s uperar l os o bstáculos q ue deben enfrentar a la hora de obtener certificaciones profesionales y empleos en el sector de la salud de los Estados Unidos.

Actualmente se desempeña como dir ector ejecutivo de WBI, profesor adjunto de educación para la salud de la Universidad Estatal de S an F rancisco (S FSU) y c odirector d e Community Health Works of San Francisco, un programa resultado de la alianza entre City College of San Francisco y SFSU. Fernández-Peña e s a demás m iembro s énior d el Centro para las Profesiones de la Salud de la Universidad de California en San F rancisco (UCSF).

“Nuestro pr ograma o rienta, a yuda y apoya a los profesionales de la salud formados en el exterior a fin de que cumplan los criterios de referencia para obtener su acreditación en los Estados Unidos”, dijo F ernández-Peña. “Nos esforzamos por conectarlos con l as c omunidades q ue m ás l os n ecesitan”.

Mejor juntos

Le ofrecemos a los clientes de AT&T una red más fuerte, más rápido Debido a la fusión, los clientes de AT&T, incluyendo aquellos que vienen a través de T-Mobile, verán mejoras importantes en el servicio. La suma de los recursos del espectro y los miles de sitios celulares de T-Mobile incrementará rápidamente la capacidad y la cobertura. Lo que tendrá como resultado mayor confiabilidad en llamadas y más velocidad de datos.

El tráfico de datos móviles en la red de AT&T aumentó un 8,000% en los últimos cuatro años.

Con las computadoras tablet, la computación en nube y una nueva generación de equipos que requieren uso significativo de banda ancha, se espera que este tráfico aumente de 8 a 10 veces más para el año 2015.

Integrar los recursos de la red de T-Mobile, mientras se continúa invirtiendo en la red de AT&T, es la manera más segura, rápida y más eficiente de enfrentar este desafío.

Innovación continua para los clientes de T-Mobile A través de la integración con AT&T, los clientes de T-Mobile pueden seguir disfrutando de tecnologías, equipos y servicios innovadores por muchos años más. Tendrán la libertad de mantener los precios de sus planes y teléfonos existentes, y al mismo tiempo, en el futuro, se beneficiarán de mayores capacidades. Los clientes de T-Mobile también se beneficiarán de las mejoras en la red — como mejor cobertura en áreas remotas y acceso a las redes de próxima generación planificadas de AT&T.

La tecnología LTE es una manera súper rápida de conectarse a Internet. La combinación de AT&T y T-Mobile permitirá que AT&T amplíe su red de banda ancha móvil LTE para ofrecer cobertura a más del 98% de los habitantes de California. Es decir, a un millón más de personas en California. Gracias a la fusión, muchos tendrán acceso a la red LTE en pueblos pequeños y zonas rurales. Nuestros clientes contarán con una red más fuerte.

El estado tendrá una nueva opción de banda ancha. Y muchas más partes de California obtendrán acceso a una red móvil de vanguardia y a todas las oportunidades que la misma produzca.

“Be p roud o f w ho y ou are and tell ev erybody that you’re learning her e at the School of Ar ts and Cultur e what it is to be a descendent of M exicans,” s aid B lanca Alvarado. “To be Mexican is to be beautiful.

We ar e beautiful people.”

Students were also told to go to school with a gr eat deal of pride and love. The plaza was built for the children that will one day be adults and be able to pass on their tr aditions, said Alvarado.

Councilmember Xavier Campos also spoke to the children. He told them that he didn’t want to bore them

and encour aged them to have lots of fun.

The summer camps ar e operated b y 1stACT Silicon

Valley. There will be two more sessions. The M HP has a goal of 75 students.

Each session is $200. Schol-

Housing 1000

O

ver the course of three days, many volunteers s urveyed more than 700 homeless people in an effort to house count those living on the str eets in Santa Clar a County. The r esults w ere shared during a resource fair specifically focused to those currently un housed a t C ity Hall in downtown San Jose.

"Destination: Home is really the organization that was born out of the blue ribbon commission and in many ways w ere carrying o ut the effort of the leaders that were at that table," said Jennifer L oving fr om Destination: Home. "Housing a thousand is our next chapter."

“Housing 1 ,000” i s t he local campaign par tnership between Destination: Home, the Santa Clar a County Collaborative on Affor dable Housing a nd H omeless I ssues an d C ommunity Technology Alliance.

"We have been at this 30 years. We've learned a lot of things in 30 y ears," said Mayor Chuck Reed.

There ar e a couple of things that stick out to the Mayor that gives him not only

hope but the confidence that eliminating homelessness in San Jose can be done. The first thing is kno wing that homeless people need homes. Problems cannot be solved i n t heir l ives w hen they hav e an unstable d isruptive living experience on the street.

"If we can get them into homes and provide services then we can deal with all the other issues that hav e been identified in our sur vey to keep them off the street and to keep them from ever being homeless again," said Reed.

The volunteers gathered at 4:30 a.m. They conducted a sur vey and photogr aphed the homeless population throughout Santa Clar a County. Names and dates of birth were collected as w ell as patterns of shelter use and previous housing situation, health status and institutional history.

"We’ve b een a ble t o house a lmost 1 ,200 a dditional individuals and families that ar e chr onically homeless thr ough the v arious pr ograms that ar e funded thr ough the feder al program," said Alex Sanchez, Executive Dir ector, Housing Authority, County of Santa Clara.

Although the City of San

Jose's R edevelopment Agency and its Housing Department pr oduced o ver 20,000 affor dable housing units using the r edevelopment tool, that agency has been e liminated b y b udget cutbacks. Mayor Reed vowed to continue to work on civic housing pr oblems with the resources that are available.

"We ar e smar t enough, and we can collaborate enough, that w e can figur e out ho w to get that money and put it to use to get people into housing and begin to solve t heir p roblems," s aid Reed.

The 40 teams of community volunteers used the national 1 ,000,000 H omes campaign's v ulnerability index to sur vey and create a by-name list of the homeless individuals who are most at risk of premature death. Two hundred a nd s eventy t wo were found to be vulner able by having health conditions associated with a high mortality risk. The oldest respondent was 85 y ears old. The youngest was 18 years old.

"We need to talk about housing solutions for those most in need," said L oving.

"We want ev ery single per son that w e bring into housing to have the ser vices that they need to stay housed."

In a Daily Slump? Tips to Make Sure You Get a Good Night’s Sleep (NewsUSA) o you find yourself fatigued and yawning throughout the day? A mid-afternoon slump could really be trying to tell y ou something — it’s likely y ou ar en’t getting enough sleep!

The average adult needs seven to nine hours of sleep per day to function pr operly.

However, in a 2005 health survey, 30 percent of adults nationwide reported getting only about six hours of sleep per day. For many adults, fatigue seems inevitable. In a 2002 study conducted by the National Sleep F oundation, 37 percent of adults reported being s o sl eepy d uring t he day that it interfer ed with

their daily activities. Much of that lost sleep can be attributed to background noises.

“Background noise is a problem for people when they a re s leeping,” sa id D r.

Rafael Pelayo, associate professor at the S tanford Sleep Disorders Cl inic a t S tanford University S chool o f M edicine.

A study by Consumer Reports found that sound machines are nearly as effective as prescription sleep medications, an d m ore e ffective than over-the-counter sleep medications or aids, without the side-effects. Dr. Pelayo recommends the Sound+Sleep Adaptiv e Sound T herapy Machine (www.soundofsleep.com) as

part of a healthy sleep plan for people trying to achieve a better night’s sleep with minimal use of drugs.

“There are a lot of ‘dumb’ sound machines out there that just play constant noise in an a ttempt to c over up these disruptions,” says Dr. Pelayo. “ The new Sound+Sleep r esponds to sudden backgr ound distur bances b y adjusting its sound output to better mask the noise. For some people, the improved sound masking seems to help them sleep better.”

Other tips for better nighttime sleep include: * Set a r egular bed time and stick to it. * Eliminate caffeine before bed. * Sleep without the lights or TV on. * Get plenty of ex ercise during the day.

Be Prepared! Back-to-School Time

Is Lice Season (NewsUSA)

P

arents need to be pr epared for back-to-school season as 85 percent of all school districts r eport at least one lice outbreak a year. The Centers for Disease Control and P revention states that most of t he 12 million cases occur in preschool and elementary-school-aged children.

Fortunately, parents can now help to prevent head lice using natur al, safe and effective ingredients. A recent study by Fairy Tales Hair Care showed that r osemary, citronella, tea tree and lavender oils w ere over 93 percent effective in pr eventing head lice. Daily use of shampoos and spr ays help keep the fragrance fresh on the child’s hair and keep lice away.

In addition to natural products, Fairy Tales recommends the following tips: * Explain to your children to never share hats, c ombs, p illows, e ar b uds o r h elmets.

Keep long hair up in a pony tail or braid. * Lice like clean hair — not dir ty! Don’t

shampoo every day, and use products to coat the hair shaft making it hard for a louse to attach to it. * D o w eekly h ead c hecks. S it u nder a bright light and comb through tiny sections of the hair — focusing on the “hot spots,” such as the back of neck, behind ears and the part lines. Nits (eggs) will be grayish in color and glued inch from the top of the hair shaft. If it is hard to remove, it is a nit and not dandruff. * Lice-removal treatments are now available that ar e more effective and safer than traditional o ver-the-counter pr oducts. Enzymes dissolv e the “ nit glue” so eggs/nits wash out easily and kill live bugs on contact.

Enzymes wo rk o n t he n ew b reed o f “super lice” as w ell. Lice Good-By e can be used r epeatedly, allowing parents to safely r emove lice and get childr en back to school quickly and lice free.

HEALTH

Attention Grocery Shoppers:

(NewsUSA) eading n utritional l abels ca n f eel like you are reading a foreign language sometimes. But the good news is that new simplified nutritional labels are on the way and will be placed on the front of the package. The United S tates Depar tment of Agriculture and the United States Department of Health and Human Services have released new dietary guidelines to help consumers m ake better-informed decisions o n the calories that they consume.

As part of the American Beverage Association’s (ABA) Clear on Calories initiative, beverage makers like The Coca-Cola Company are putting calorie information at the finger tips of consumers. Beverage companies have pledged that all bev erage containers 20 ounces and smaller will display total calorie counts on the front of their can or bottle. Also company-controlled v ending machines and soda fountains will display calorie counts on selection buttons or in close proximity to the machines.

“It’s exciting to see bev erage companies move the labels to the fr ont and make them easier to understand for consumers,” said registered dietitian Daniel Santibanez. “W e all need to make informed decisions about the products we are consuming, and making nutrition labels easier to find and understand

R

is just one step forward in that direction.”

During your next shopping trip, use these five tips to improve your label literacy: 1. Take note of ser ving sizes and calorie count. Your favorite sandwich cookie may be only 160 calories per serving, but are you really going to stop after one serving?

2. Look at the total calories and the calories coming fr om fat. Accor ding to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 40 calories per serving is low, while 100 calories is moderate and 400 calories is high.

3. Plan your meals before you go shopping. Try to prepare meals that ar e not only tasty but also low in calories. Doing so will help you avoid buying items that a re not on your shopping list while also shielding you from high-calorie snacks.

4. Carry a calorie “ cheat sheet.” Sometimes you will come across foods in the grocery that do not have nutrition labeling. Carry a calorie sheet, or use a mobile phone app.

5. Read the Percent Daily Value (DV). The DV is formulated for a 2,000 calorie diet, but it can pr ovide a basic guideline ev en if y ou consume more or less.

The next time you’re at the grocery store or fountain machine, start reading the nutrition labels or calorie counts, and y ou’ll find yourself making mor e informed, healthier choices. (Photo & Text of NewsUSA)

Cristian quiere ser el mejor baladista México, (Notimex) ristian Castr o aseguró que buscará consolidarse como el baladista número uno de México y de ser posible en el mejor, en uno de gran calibre que alcance reconocimiento internacional.

En días pasados, durante una conferencia de prensa, el cantante dijo que esperaba contar con la presencia de su madre, la actriz Verónica Castro, y de su padre Manuel “El Loco” Valdés, un reconocimiento que para é l s ignificaría m ucho, s entimentalmente, pero al parecer ella es la que se r esiste a cumplirle su capricho.

Luego d e in cursionar e n e l g énero ranchero y en el pop , el ar tista señaló que la música romántica es lo suyo, pues vivió muy de cerca las baladas, aunque el pop rítmico también le encanta, prueba de ello son los cor tes “Lloviendo estrellas” y “No podrás”.

Agregó que se trata de canciones muy románticas e inocentes que le cautivan, pues c onsidera q ue el p op r ítmico l e provoca alegría, lo mismo que a su público, y que México vive un gran momento en ese sentido.

“Aunque debo decir que en la actualidad poca gente maneja de manera acertada la balada, yo quisiera ser uno de los que la manejen con tino, como el mejor de todos, por eso quiero ser un baladista destacado”.

And accountant Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) has just learned that his company’ s corrupt new o wner, Bobby Pellit (Colin Farrell), is not only bent on ruining his career but plans to funnel toxic waste into an unsuspecting population.

What can you do when y our boss is a psy cho, a maneater or a total tool?

Quitting i s n ot a n o ption. These m onsters m ust b e stopped. So, on the strength of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice fr om a hustling ex-con whose str eet cred is priced on a sliding scale (Jamie Foxx), the guys devise a convoluted but foolproof plan to rid the world of their respective employers... permanently.

But even the best-laid plans ar e only as good as the brains behind them.

Celebran centenario del descubrimiento de Machu Picchu de sol, lugar donde según la tradición incaica se “ amarra” al astro r ey par a que abr ace la tierra y la bañe de energía.

En ese lugar, los incas observaron que cuando av anzaba el verano y el otoño el sol estaba menos tiempo cubriendo la zona, e n t anto c uando s e p resentaba el solsticio (24 de junio) hacían una ceremonia para “atar al sol” para que no se fuera.

En la ciudadela está la r oca funeraria, a l a e ntrada d el a ntiguo cementerio, donde hay un triple escalón que simboliza los tres mundos incas: el subterráneo, gobernado por la serpiente; el de los vivos, por el puma, y el de arriba, de los espíritus, por el cóndor.

La ciudad es consider ada uno de los enigmas ar queológicos más bellos y fascinantes del hemisferio occidental y la montaña, o cumbre vieja, es custodiada por otr a montaña llamada Huayna Picchu, o joven cumbre, más alta que la primer a y qu e aparece siempre al fondo.

En el lugar existen templos de granito, acueductos, fuentes, tumbas, terrazas y miles de es-

caleras que permanecieron ocultas hasta el descubrimiento que hiciera Bingham.

Hasta Machu Picchu se puede l legar d e d os f ormas: caminando desde el Cusco, por el antiguo sendero inca, o en tren, por el cual hay que pagar 87 dólares en la clase más

barata y 350 dólares para el alto turismo por un recorrido de seis horas.

La tr avesía a pie por el “Camino Inca” puede demor ar entre dos y tres días en medio de una h úmeda v egetación, p lagada de insectos venenosos y

culebras, en tanto que por tr en el viaje es de seis horas.

Excavaciones arqueológicas han d eterminado q ue e n l as fosas d el c ementerio s e d escubrieron 173 esqueletos, 150 de los cuales per tenecían a mujeres.

Machu Picchu fue declarado Patrimonio Cultur al de la Humanidad por la Organización de Naciones U nidas p ara l a E ducación, l a C iencia y l a C ultura (Unesco) en 1983 y para Perú es uno de los destinos turísticos más visitado en Sudamérica.

L

ima, ( Notimex).- P erú amaneció d e f iesta a l cumplirse los 100 años del descubrimiento de Machu Picchu, conocida como “La Esmeralda de Los Andes”, un santuario enigmático abrazado por un cír culo de montañas desde donde los incas honr aron a sus dioses.

Las festividades artísticoculturales a rrancaron c on 2 1 cañonazos de salva en las plazas Regocijo, Espinar, San Francisco, San Blas, Santa Teresa, Los Pumas y de Armas de la ciudad andina del Cusco, que se sitúa a los pies de Machu Picchu.

En el par que ar queológico de Sacsayhuamán se dieron cita autoridades del municipio provincial del Cusco y del Ejército peruano par a encabezar la fiesta.

Para esta noche está pr evisto un espectáculo de luces y sonido acompañado por la Orquesta Andina, la Orquesta Sinfónica de Cusco y la cantante peruana Tania Libertad.

Machu Picchu es una ciudadela rodeada por un abismo de 400 metros que fue construida entre los años 1400 y 150 0 por órdenes del inca Pachacútec, quien “amuralló” e ste e nclave desde las laderas para defender a una raza que no se doblegó.

La ciudadela que es una imponente montaña que r esguarda las terr azas de cultiv o que abastecieron a la población incaica q ue s embró m aíz y papas.

En la época incaica se llegaba hasta las faldas de Machu Picchu por el “Camino Inca”, que partía del Cusco hasta la Puerta del Sol, en la cima de las laderas, para continuar al Valle Sagrado y el resto de las ruinas de lo que fue el más grande i mperio en esta zona.

Antes, para ingresar a este santuario había que pr epararse en cuerpo y alma y no cualquiera podía ingresar a la ciudad, pero ahora bastan 20 dólar es par a que cualquier persona haga turismo por el lugar pese a que ya se ha alertado de su deterioro.

El descubrimiento en 1911 de Machu Picchu por el estadunidense Hir am Bingham y un equipo de la Univ ersidad de Yale, permitió que millones de ciudadanos del mundo conozcan ahor a la mar avilla ar queológica.

En la ciudadela se pueden apreciar el “Intihuatana”, o reloj
