BROWN ES GOBERNADOR Gracias a los latinos

Brown returns to the Golden State * California not ready to legalize Marijuana * Climate law survives * No vehicle license fee for parks

* Votantes dicen no a la marihuana * Paliza a demócratas * Boxer en su cuarto periodo Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

P

or tercera vez Jerry Brown se convierte en el gobernador de California. En 1975 fue el el gobernador más joven ahora a sus 72 años y con una sólida experiencia es el gobernador más viejo del “Estado Dorado”.

Brown empezó agradeciendo a los jóvenes y a todos que están tratando de construir el futuro de California.

“Las divisiones en California afecta en todas las instancias.

Mi reto es tener una visión con un propósito en común de lo que puede ser California. El espíritu que debo llevar a Sacramento está lleno de energía y creatividad”, dijo en una breve presentación después de su victoria.

“Gracias a los votantes latinos se hizo posible la victoria de Jerry Brown. Durante su periodo de gobernador el dio a todos licencias ”, dijo el Senador Gil Cedillo en una entrevista a una televisora local, dando la esperanza con su comentario que es probable que haya licencias para indocumentados en California.

De otro lado Latino Decisions organización que trabajó en una encuesta estimó que el voto de los latinos a Jerry Brown fue de 86% contra Meg Whitman del 13%.

El mismo apoyo recibió Boxer de 86% contra Carly Fio rina con un 14%.

Paliza a los Demócratas La pérdida de 60 escaños en la Cámara Baja el recorte de su mayoría en el Senado fue la respuesta del electorado en todo el país.

Marihuana Los votantes de California no legalizaron la marihuana que permitiría su uso recreativo, cultivo y cobro de impuestos por su venta a autoridades locales. A esta medida muchos latinos se opusieron a su legalizacion.

Energía limpia en California A fin de salvaguardar la salud pública, los votantes de California optaron por una energía limpia del estado.

Con esta decisión los votantes están apoyando iniciativas que están fomentando la innovación y ayudando a fortalecer la economía a largo plazo, creando empleos y liberándonos de la adicción al petróleo.

Concejal En el distrito 5 Xavier Campos resultó ganador por una mínima diferencia contra Magdalena Carrasco. Campos es el sucesor de su hermana la ahora Asambleísta Nora Campos.

Supervisor En la carrera por el Distrito 1 para el puesto de Supervisor del Condado de Santa Clara resultó ganador el republicano Mike Wasserman.

Medida V Los votantes aprobaron la medida “V”. Esto significa que se le quitará muchos de los derechos y privilegios que los sindicatos de bomberos y la policía tienen actualmente, incluyendo los aumentos salariales y también limitaría la capacidad de que los sindicatos de policía y bomberos en la actualidad tengan que crear enormes fondos para su salud y pensiones.

By Cinthia Rodriguez - El Observador erry Brown has been elected to be governor of California. In 1975, he was the youngest governor elected and has become the oldest governor elected at 72 years of age.

On election night, the race seemed tight, Brown only leading by a few. What seemed to be like an early victory speech, Brown thanked the youth for their votes and everyone else who believes in California’s future. Brown was right to assume victory over opponent Republican Meg Whitman, who broke a spending record by putting more than $141 million of her money into the race.

“Looks like I’m going back again," said Brown. "Now, as you know, I’ve got the know-how and the experience and all those other things I said.”

According to an exit poll of Latino Decisions, Brown's victory was due in large part to the overwhelming support of Hispanic voters toward the Democrats, a difference than ever before, 86% for Brown and 13% for Whitman.

The Democratic ticket had several other victories. Barbara Boxer will remain in the Senate, with a similar story like Brown’s. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will be the next Lt. Governor, while Kamala D. Harris will take over Brown’s position as Attorney General.

Latino Republican voters also helped win two new governorships, four new house seats, and a senate seat. More than doubling the number of Republican Latinos in Congress and giving the nation three Republican Hispanic governors for the first time.

In Nevada, Senator Harry Reid (Dem.) was reelected with support from Latinos with 68% of Latino voters supporting him.

In Florida, Republican Marco Rubio won election to the Senate with 55% of the Latino vote.

In New Mexico, Republican Susan Martinez became the nation’s first Latina Governor joined by Brian Sandoval, Nevada’s first Latino Governor.

However, Janet Brewer was reelected despite the fact that 71% of Latino voters supported her opponent.

J

Closely watched race in San Jose: San Jose City Council, District 5 – Xavier Campos declared winner over Magdalena Carrasco. If so, he will take his sister’s seat, Nora Campos, State Assembly District 23-elect.

am very pleased to say that the First Annual Day on the Bay, A Multicultural Festival was a resounding success. The finicky weather held out long enough so that the community could enjoy a beautiful day of fun, learning and togetherness. Held in partnership with the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department, the Day on the Bay is just the first of many festivals to come that will celebrate the great diversity that is in Santa Clara County.

Located in the beautiful community of Alviso at the new Alviso Marina County Park, this festival drew over 4,000 people. There were also over 90 exhibitors passing out information on their services. These included everything from county and city services to nonprofits and local businesses.

I would like to also thank the Santa Clara County Firefighters for donating their time to work the BBQ to provide the free hamburgers for everyone at the festival. In addition to the free food, children were able to pick out a free pumpkin to take home for Halloween.

There were many activities for families to enjoy, such as face painting and arts and crafts.

Additionally, many families took free kayak rides on the Alviso Slough and were able to view the variety of wildlife, which lives in the San Francisco Bay. Thank you to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and the San Jose Fire Department’s Search and Rescue who ensured the safety of the kayakers on the slough.

The attendees were treated to a day of diverse entertainment on two stages, which included Mexican Folk Dancing, African American Cultural Dances, line dancing, two middle school bands, three local bands and the laughter of Dr. Laughaway.

A unique section at the festival was the

ow that the Registrar of Voters, County of Santa Clara has reported the uncertified vote tally which will probably not change outcomes already reported, here are the results of decisions made by City of San Jose voters on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, 2010.

Assembly members Paul Fong (District 22), Nora Campos (District 23) and Jim Beall (District 24) were elected to represent their local constituencies. Our local diversity will be well served by these elected officials.

Mayor Chuck Reed endorsed Magdalena Carrasco (District 5) and Larry Pegram (District 9) only to have them appear not to be elected per Wednesday's vote count. Both would have been supporters of efforts to downsize the current budget deficits. City monetary obligations, current and future, must be downsized if the city is to avoid bankruptcy sometime in the future.

Voters of Council District 5 appear to have elected Xavier Campos to succeed his sister, Nora Campos by a vote of 3523 (51.73%). Magdalena Carrasco received 3,286 votes (48.27%) in this highly competitive election race.

What this means is that union issues will have a ‘friend’ who will resist changes of those pension contracts, which need to be downsized.

Current union contracts permit civic employees, especially police and firefighters, to benefit from very favorable retirement contracts, which permit retirement at 90% of salary level by age 55.

The major issue Councilmember-elect Xavier Campos would have to face and deal with is the reconciliation of current personnel salary and retirement benefit obligations, which will dominate the revenues, received by the City of San Jose.

Will the unions accept some sort of adjustments such as indexing retirements to the level of revenues received by the City? One way to change these current contracts is for the City of San Jose to declare bankruptcy when the appropriate time comes for that decision (just like Pittsburg, CA).

City budget allocations will dominate the agendas if faced by Xavier Campos. We shall see how he copes with the pressure of dire fiscal issues the City faces.

For Council District 7, Madison Nguyen received 53.09% (5196 votes) compared to 46.91% (4592 votes) received by her competitor Ming Duong. That “Little Saigon” issue will have a few more years until it becomes history.

Meanwhile Madison will continue to be in touch

with her constituents, continue to favor affordable housing and economic development. Again, the extreme shortfall of city revenues will impact civic service capacity and delivery.

While Proposition 19 (legalize marijuana) failed at the state level, San Jose’s Measure U passed with 78.9% of voters in its favor. Measure U permits the City to tax the sale of medicinal marijuana sold by licensed dispensaries. It will be a while before national policy and our local policy are reconciled.

The Federal Attorney General indicated continued enforcement of current federal law prohibiting the use and sale of marijuana. So users be wary!

With respect to Measures V (limit the powers of labor arbitrators) and Measure W (which will allow the City of San Jose to offer reduced retirement benefits), Mayor Chuck Reed managed to gain advantages in his quest to normalize the current contractual union obligations being faced (and projected into the future). Future levels of city services will depend on the ability to contain personnel retirement obligations.

Finally, at a national congressional level, the Republican tsunami gained 58 seats to gain control of the House of Representatives while the Democrats barely retained a majority control of the Senate. Several analysts project that now the Obama administration has an identifiable opponent (the Republican Party) will need to be more responsible and accountable.

Somehow, the middle class taxpayers as well as small businesses need to benefit from programs recently passed by Congress. The most important public policy issue to be faced openly requires the encouragement of American multinational corporations to bring ‘home’ all that cash now stashed in offshore banks to avoid taxation.

Their investment in factories, which provide jobs to the middle class work force, is a requirement because these capitalistic investments do not adversely add to the current humongous national debt. These corporate multi-national mega-giants need to balance profitability with the creation of employment in all sectors of the global economy.

That is their daunting challenge today because, without discretionary money in the hands of consumers, there is no consumer economy anywhere, especially in America. Meanwhile, the American consumer must continue to be frugal in the face of the oncoming holiday season and its winter weather. These are the election outcomes seen now.Δ

Neighborhood watch San Jose style

By Cinthia Rodriguez – El Observador

T

he San Jose Police Department (SJPD) announced support for private sector collaboration between technology companies, CrimeReports.com (www.crimereports.com) and Logitech. The collaboration with the city can support shared public safety goals among community members.

It is also viewed as an addition to Neighborhood Central, traditional neighborhood watch programs and social media tools like Facebook and YouTube. People can get near real time information about crime in their neighborhoods.

The SJPD has been using CrimeReports.com since 2007 and the new neighborhood central application helps improve the awareness, engagement and communication on shared crime prevention issues. When someone installs one of Logitech's Alert Digital Video Security cameras at their home or in their neighborhood, they can voluntarily register the camera with the new Neighborhood Central crime prevention service.

"We are excited to be the first law enforcement agency to support this new technology, which allows community members to participate in proactive public safety at whatever level they choose," said Rob Davis, Chief of Police, San Jose. "Vigilant community members are one of our most important and effective allies in preventing and fighting crime. By applying innovative technology from CrimeReports.com

and Logitech, San Jose's residents will be able to work with law enforcement officers and with one another to share information in the on-line and social spaces they already use each day."

Police Chief Rob Davis and Mayor Chuck Reed refer to update of the system as neighborhood watch San Jose style. They believe this will improve the quality of life for the entire community and the city can remain one of the safest cities in the country.

Also by registering the camera, police know there is one in the area. It’s not a requirement and police say the camera owner only shared information and video when they choose to do so.

San Jose is the first to integrate private owned cameras. Logitech is donating 50 of the security camera systems to the city to put in the hands of neighborhood associations and especially those with crime hot spots. The HD cameras include wide angle, 50 feet viewing distance, built in DVR and night vision for the outdoor kind. The cameras only record motion and can be placed indoor or outdoor with different access points when not at home. Footage can be viewed on smart phones and with any Internet connection. The cameras range from $300 to $350 and it includes the software. For mobile access there is a yearly fee of about $80 that includes camera alerts sent directly to the mobile phone.

Anyone in San Jose interested in obtaining one of the free cameras to help fight crime in their neighborhood can email: alertsanjose@logitech.com.

Keep Kids Learning During Winter Break (NewsUSA) re you a parent dreading the anguished cries of "I'm bored!" from your kids during the long winter break? Are you a teacher concerned that your students will forget most of the skills you spent the last few months teaching them?

This winter, do something to stem the knowledge loss.

If you're a parent, when you're done visiting the museum, going down the sled hill or baking holiday goodies, try out something new with your kids this winter -- design a video game with them. If you're a teacher, make it a holiday assignment.

That's right. Not just play another video game -- design and develop one.

Developing video games is a great way to keep your kids learning over the holidays and when indoors during the cold winter months -in a way that is fun and appealing to them.

Video game design has been proven to help advance kids' critical science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills, and it also teaches them invaluable 21st-century skills like problem solving and critical thinking. And, it's a great way to spend quality time with your kids to help them learn.

So now that you're bought into the idea, how do you get started? Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) offers two options: * Find your local Boys & Girls Clubs.

A

Many of the 4,000 Clubs across the country offer the Club Tech program, which promotes technology literacy and access. And select Clubs also offer Club Tech: Game Tech through a partnership with the AMD Foundation and its AMD Changing the Game initiative. This program is specifically designed to teach video game development. * Visit BGCA's youth website MyClubMyLife.com to download information that is appropriate for all ages. Navigate to Game Tech under the ARTS & TECH section for a copy of the course guide, which will direct you on how to implement Game Tech at home.

Game Tech has a bonus learning component in that it challenges kids to create a game with a social component. That is, the games teach the players about solving a real-world problem, such as saving energy, or reducing poverty, or helping the environment. So not only are your kids learning STEM skills, they're become better citizens in the process.

Best of all, when kids design video games, most of the time they don't even realize they're learning. So that means they'll keep doing it.

And keep learning.

How to Help Kids Stay Safe Online

T

he Internet can be an important tool for the academic and social development of children and teenagers, but it can also expose them to certain risks, including bullies, scammers and inappropriate content.

The Federal Trade Commission recently launched a campaign to help parents and guardians of children deal with cyber security.

The campaign is called Net Cetera and it features tips, videos, and downloadable guides.

"The idea is to help parents start a conversation with their children, regardless of their age, about online security," said agency spokesperson Alvaro Puig. Listen to the full interview (mp3 file, 5MB).

Online Safety for Children under 8 years old These days, children start using the Internet at an early age. They can surf the web by using the home computer or other electronic devices such as mobile phones that belong to adults.

Parents and guardians should supervise small children at all times, as they might come across inappropriate content.

Once a child is ready to surf the web, parents can take the following measures to ensure safety: * Choose which sites they can visit * Activate parental controls if available * Frequently monitor their online activities Online Safety for Children between 8 and 12 years old As kids become more independent and knowledgeable about the Internet, they might start using it to research homework or to search

and explore topics that interest them.

Parents or guardians should first establish rules and guidelines for Internet usage and consider these simple tips: * Put the computer in a visible, shared place in the home. This allows kids to use the computer independently without being alone. * Continue using parental controls * Talk to children about their experiences online * Establish limits for frequency and duration of their online sessions "You don't need to know much about technology. The important thing is to speak with your children about their experiences online and to be aware of what they are doing, what sites they are visiting, how much time they're spending online and who they are interacting with," said Puig.

Online Safety for Teenagers Teenagers usually have Internet access in more than one place, including cell phones and computers that belong to their friends. That's why it's important that parents and guardians teach their children how to behave online.

"Family values should also apply to their behavior online," said Puig.

Online safety experts recommend that parents and guardians: * Establish rules and talk to their teens about the consequences of breaching them * Keep an open-door policy where parents can walk in on teenagers surfing the web For more information about online safety visit OnGuardOnline.gov.

Astronauta insta a los jóvenes a estudiar Por Rosario Vital - El Observador “Claro que podemos, yes we can! Todo es posible en esta vida si uno persevera y busca lo que más le gusta. Es importante estudiar y echarle ganas”, dijo José Hernández, Ingeniero y Astronauta de la NASA durante una charla que ofreció a los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Hispana (NHU siglas en inglés).

En una charla motivadora Hernández contó sobre su infancia, habló de la rectitud de sus padres y narró cómo creció entre los campos del Sur de California y su viajes a México.

También contó que gracias a la intervención de una maestra logró que sus padres permanecieran en un solo lugar. “Mis padres siempre nos apoyaron en los estudios, pero constantemente teníamos que viajar a México y le pedía a la maestra que nos dejara mucha tarea durante los tres meses de ausencia en California”, dijo el destacado astronauta quien aprendió inglés a la edad de 12.

José Hernández aún narraba la experiencia que sintió al ver despegar al espacio el primer astronauta a la luna. “Lo observaba en una televisor de blanco y negro con una antena que tenía muchas veces que agarrar para obtener una mejor señal. Miraba la televisión, salía al campo para ver la luna y así me la pasé viendo esa histórica transmisión. Pero cuando un día leí la historia de Franklin Chang Díaz, el primer hispano que subió al espacio tomé la determinación de que quería ser astronauta”, explica muy orgu lloso el ingeniero.

Hernández no se convirtió en astronauta de la noche a la mañana. El lo intentó por 12 años, hasta que en el 2009 finalmente fue llamado por la NASA. En agosto de 2009, Hernández se desempeñó como especia lista de misión con la misión STS-128 de la tripulación a bordo del transbordador espacial Discovery. Durante su misión de 14 días en la Estación Espacial Internacional, la tripulación viajó más de 5,7 millones de kilómetros.

“Llegamos al espacio en 8 minutos y medio. Uno siente mucha presión por eso es importante la preparación física a la par con la educativa”, cuenta Hernández.

“Me sorprendió la historia de una persona que creció en los campos y se convirtió en una astronauta, increíble”, dijo Christopher Sánchez de Latino College Preparatory Academy (LCPA).

Hernández obtuvo su licenciatura en ingeniería eléctrica de la Universidad del Pacífico en Stockton, California, y una maestría

Full-Day Conference Will Provide Support, Resources And Guidance To Caregivers

Spring, San Luis Obispo, c.1992, artist -Anthony Quartuccio oil on canvas from the Collection of History San José

Celebrating Local Artists: The 5th Anniversary of the McKay Gallery

S

an José CA. - When the Leonard and David McKay Gallery opened five years ago, local historian and art collector Leonard McKay waxed on about the importance of local artists recording the history of the era in which they lived. Today his vision is realized at his namesake gallery inside the Pasetta House at History Park in Kelley Park.

Celebrating Local Artists: The 5th Anniversary of the McKay Gallery will open its exhibit focusing on the art collection begun

by McKay more than fifty years ago. The exhibit opens to the public on the afternoon of Saturday, November 20, and runs through March 2011.

Using Leonard McKay's art collection as a starting point, this exhibit will also include more recent additions to the collection as well as highlights from History San Jose's collection of paintings.

Two rooms of the McKay Gallery will feature paintings by ADM Cooper and neverbefore exhibited drawings from Cooper’s sketchbooks. Astley David Middleton Cooper was born on December 23, 1856 in St. Louis, MO, attended Washington University in St. Louis, where he studied European art and later lived with Indian tribes through the regions of the Western U.S. Cooper came to San Francisco at the age of 24 and then in 1883 moved south to San

Jose, where the handsome artist frequented the local saloons, and according to lore, often paid his bar tabs with his art. Cooper’s contribution to historic art and his style of painting have made his work highly recognizable.

Other artists included in the exhibit are: Laurence Burnham, Frances Harvey Cutting, Albert Thomas DeRome, Charles H. Harmon, Andrew P. Hill, R. G. Holdredge, Frances R. Malovos, Vida McCracken, Anthony Quartuccio and Marques Reitzel.

The Leonard and David McKay Gallery is located in the Pasetta House in History Park in Kelley Park, 1650 Senter Road, between Phelan and Keyes. The gallery is open weekends from 11:00a.m. to 4:00p.m.Δ

S

an José CA. – More than one in 10 Santa Clara County residents gave regular care or assistance to an aging or ill adult in 2009, and one in three reported stress as one of the biggest challenges, according to the Santa Clara County 2010 Health Profile Report. To help meet the needs of local caregivers, the Aging Services Collaborative of Santa Clara County will hold its Second Annual Caregivers Count! Conference for Silicon Valley residents caring for aging loved ones.

The Caregivers Count! Conference is scheduled for Sat urday, November 13, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the San Jose Airport Garden Hotel (formerly the Holiday Inn), located at 1740 N. First Street in San Jose. Caregivers Count! will provide support, resources and guidance to informal and family caregivers.

Nationally, one in four individuals serves as a caregiver for a friend or loved one over age 50. Informal caregivers provide more care in the home than the federal government provides in all settings combined. More than one-third of caregivers provide intense and continuing care to others while suffering from poor health themselves.

“Attendees will hear from experts on topics that include Passages of Caregiving; Navigating the Healthcare System; Compassion Fatigue, and Legal Aspects of Aging,” said Caregivers Count! Conference Planning Committee Co-Chair Amy Andonian, who is also the program director of Caregiver Services at Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County. “The conference is available in English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Vietnamese.”

“We’re proud to celebrate The Year of the Caregivers and bring Caregivers Count! to our community as part of our Collaborative’s positive and healthy aging initiatives,” said Lori Andersen, director of Healthy Aging at The Health Trust. “The well-being of our caregivers and the health of our aging community is a priority.”

The Caregiver Counts! keynote will be delivered by San José City District 8 Councilmember Rose Herrera, who will talk about her experience caring for an elderly parent. Other speakers include representatives from Sage Eldercare Solutions, El Camino Medical Group, Daughters of Charity Health System, Alzheimer’s Association, Kaiser Permanente, and VITAS Innovative Hospice Care.

The conference costs $20 to attend, which includes a box lunch and presentation materials. To register, visit www.healthtrust.org/caregiverscount. For scholarship and sponsorship opportunities, contact Amy Aken at 408.559.5589 or amya@healthtrust.org at The Health Trust.

¿Cómo vestirte para ir a trabajar?

Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

F

lor de María Rivera periodista del Área de la Bahía ha iniciado una gran etapa en su vida. Lanzó en julio de este año un sitio web que contiene consejos de modas. El portal bilingüe le da sugerencias de cómo mejorar su imagen, cómo vestirse bien sin gastar mucho dinero y además el portal le trae las tendencias de la moda, entre otras cosas. Si está subida de peso le da consejos básicos y fundamentales para ese cambio de imagen. Lo más importante es que es totalmente gratis.

“Los consejos son gratuitos. Lo hice porque la moda es mi gran pasión y porque siento que puedo ayudar a muchas personas a levantar su autoestima. No importa si eres delgada o subidita de peso, lo importante es que te veas bien y te sientas bien”, dijo Flor de María Rivera. www.flordemariafashion.com es el nombre de este sitio web que cuenta con material informativo que ayuda a personas que están preocupadas por su apariencia. Incluso hay personas que ignoran que van pésimamente vestidas porque no tienen amistades que le den consejos. La moda no es asunto de dinero, hay piezas que puedes obtener a bajo costo.

La vestimenta en una oficina es fundamental. “Uno a través de la ropa expresa mucho de su personalidad”, cuenta Rivera.

“Por ejemplo una recepcionista es la primera imagen de la oficina, o en otras palabras es la cara de la empresa. La persona debe estar bien arreglada y no necesitas dinero para lucir bien. Yo puerdo armar un atuendo completo por menos de $50. Tienes que conocer tu cuerpo y saber qué te queda bien. Jamás vayas en pantalones de mezclillas excepto la situación lo amerite, NUNCA uses sudaderas ni pantalones para hacer deporte, se ve desagra dable. Es la oficina y no un gimnasio”.

“No hay mujer fea sino mujer mal vestida o mal arreglada. La obesidad o la delgadez no es una excusa para vestir mal”, dijo la destacada periodista y comentarista deportiva de televisión.

El sitio web ha causado una gran sensación en diferentes partes del mundo. “Más de 64 países me visitan y lo bueno es que trato de ayudar a muchas mujeres que necesitan de una mano amiga”, explica Rivera.

Flor de María Rivera le dará consejos en inglés y en español una vez al mes en la columna “Siempre a la Moda” que El Observador iniciará en dos semanas. Δ

Piolín y Jorge Ramos

entre los más influyentes

W

ashington, (Notimex).- El periodista mexicano Jorge Ramos y su compatriota, el locutor de radio, Eduardo “Piolín” Sotelo, destacan entre las 50 figuras políticas más influyentes en Estados Unidos, reveló la revista Newsweek.

Aunque Sotelo fue colocado en el lugar numero 45 de la lista, el titular del programa radiofónico “Piolín por la mañana” figura apenas un lugar abajo del ex secretario de Estado, Colin Powell, y arriba del asesor presidencial David Axelrod.

“Piolín” supera incluso a la comentarista conservadora Ann Coulter, una de las figuras más conocidas en el mundo de la política en Estados Unidos, y a la estratega conservadora Mary Matalin.

La clasificación, sin embargo, no refleja tanto la influencia o acceso a los círculos del poder que pueden tener sus integrantes, sino el peso que ejercen en los foros de opinión pública, y que a su vez se refleja en sus ingresos.

“En la hiper-modificada cultura de los medios en 2010, las más influyentes figuras política son aquellas que ganan más dinero”, apuntó Newsweek para explicar el razonamiento de su clasificación.

Ramos, presentador de noticiero estelar de la cadena UNIVISION, fue ubicado en el lugar 24 con ganancias anuales de cuatro millones de dólares, mientras los ingresos de “Polin” alcanzan el millón de dólares, afirmó la revista.

Newsweek indicó que aún cuando existen otras figuras que registran ingresos similares o superiores, “ellos sirven mayormente como conductores de información, no mercaderes de ideas” y por ello quedaron excluidos.

La lista esta compuesta por comentaristas políticos, analistas, políticos, periodistas, ex presidentes, como el caso de William Clinton y hasta el actual ocupante de la Casa Blanca, Barack Obama.

El primer lugar lo ocupa el comentarista conservador radiofónico Rush Limbaugh, con ingresos anuales de 58.7 millones de dólares, que provienen tanto de su programa radiofónico, como publicaciones y la red internet.

A Limbaugh le siguen los también comentaristas conservadores Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity y Bill O’Reilly con ingresos de 33, 22 y 20 millones de dólares, de manera respectiva.

Para que nunca falte trabajo, está San Martín Caballero Por Mario Jiménez El Observador

S

an Martín Caballero es un santo ampliamente venerado en países hispanos especialmente en México. Es muy aclamado como “el santo de la prosperidad”. Se le pide para que haya abundancia de trabajo, para la buena suerte, para abrirse camino, para tener buena clientela y para desarrollar un corazón caritativo.

Su fecha de celebración es el 11 de noviembre.

También conocido como San Martín de Tours, nació en el año 316 en Hungría. Era hijo de una familia acomodada. Su padre era oficial del ejército romano. Recibió su educación en Roma y sirvió al ejército. Experiencias de la vida le hicieron que se convirtiera al cristianismo y se apartara del ejército. Él afirmaba “soy un soldado de Cristo”.

Una leyenda relata que cuando era soldado, encontró a un mendigo casi desnudo, era un día muy frío, se quitó su

capa, la partió por la mitad dándole una parte al mendigo para que se cubriera. Esa misma noche se le apareció Jesucristo en un sueño vestido con la mitad de su capa, diciendo “Martín me ha cubierto este día”.

Los malos espíritus trataban de tentar a San Martín para que se desviara de su camino, sin embargo, él tuvo la entereza suficiente para rechazar las tentaciones, dedicando su vida a ayudar a los más necesitados.

El Obispo San Hilario le cedió unas tierras en una zona apartada de Francia, allí mismo fundó un monasterio y un albergue para los desamparados. Sus últimos años los dedicó a enseñar las sagradas escrituras. Se dice que es de buena suerte colocar una estampita de San Martín Caballero en la puerta de entrada de las viviendas y comercios.

Para mejorar la situación económica se recomienda ofrendarle una veladora roja durante nueve días comenzando en la fecha de su celebración, y rezando su oración

“No fue pérdida total”

todas las noches durante el mismo período.

Oración Honorable San martín Caballero, que en piedad y amor abrigaste a pobres y desamparados que se helaban en la calle, dividiendo tu propio manto en dos. Mira hacia los que te invocan y auxilia a los que imploran tu patrocinio y bendición. Intercede por nosotros ante el trono de Dios, para que podamos encontrar ayuda en todas nuestras necesidades tanto materiales como espirituales.

Amén.

Can Diet Help Treat and Possibly Prevent Autism?

D

r. Young has been living through the first two stages of that evolution with regard to her views on how diet can affect Autism Spectrum Disorders, but feels the third stage is just around the corner.

“When it comes to our research, we’re a bit like the square peg in the round hole,” said Dr. Young, Chief Medical Advisor for the NoHarm Foundation (www.noharmfoundation.org). “It’s

not that other doctors aren’t gaining interest in what we’re doing with regard to diet and autism, and it isn’t that the results aren’t remarkable. It’s more that the medical community just isn’t accustomed to something this new, and the established protocols for publishing findings just don’t fit when dealing with something truly unique like this. Traditionally, findings like ours would be an offshoot of previous research, and

publishing an article about it would include lots of references to other articles, which is the standard. But what we’re doing has both the virtue and the vice of not having ever been tried before, and there is just no mechanism in the bureaucracy set up for what we’ve discovered.

At face value, we’re using our Spectrum Balance Protocol Diet to control disorders that have baffled researchers for decades. How do you present results like that to an established medical community without a chorus of disbelief, especially when our research isn’t based on anything that’s come before? So, in spite of the resistance from the medical community, I’m taking the track record we’ve accomplished over the past five years out directly to the families of autistic children because they deserve to have this information now - independent of the ‘process’ that the system expects”.

Dr. Young’s approach to helping autistic individuals primarily using just food, does not involve expensive drugs or large amounts of supplements, and it does not promote specific products or treatment services. Instead, it simply suggests a highly specific diet that is designed to reduce the unwanted symptoms of autism.

“The problem we have theorized has actually been indirectly supported with plentiful historic third party research. We have located many studies that attribute manganese sensitivity as being one of the root causes of various neurological disorders, which looked suspiciously to me like the symptoms of autism. Since the problem occurs most specifically within the brain chemistry, neither blood nor hair testing alone will necessarily reveal and/or confirm this condition,” she said. “Specifically, we are talking here about individual sensitivity to manganese, and not a syndrome that can be applicable or susceptible to all children or adults. I often use the analogy of a person being allergic to a food such as peanuts: As one person could eat a pound of peanuts and have no ill effects and the next person may experience a violent allergic response to a miniscule exposure, it is obvious that the response produced by the peanuts is far more important in the equation than the amount of

peanuts that might be measured and quantified in one’s body.”

She acknowledged that there is much disagreement and conflicting information in nutritional/toxicology research fields as to what actual levels of ingestion and retention of manganese is even considered “safe” above very trace amounts. However, she said her team has found numerous studies internationally that have pointed to negative consequences suspected from manganese levels that are currently considered to be within acceptable standards.

That means that children eating what could be considered a healthy diet could still be ingesting enough manganese to affect their brain chemistries in a negative fashion.

“We’ve designed a diet based on food choices that are healthy and inviting, inexpensive and simple to prepare that limit the amount of manganese and specific anti-nutrients in the body,” Dr. Young added. “It is this diet that we supply in detail for free on the Foundation’s website, which is helping many people -- not all -- achieve better outcomes than their current regimens on medications. We’ve seen it and we’ve documented it, and now we want to share those results, no matter how unlikely they may seem, with the families of autistic children. As these protocols involve no drugs or medications of any kind, they do “no harm” whatsoever. There is nothing to lose and no medical risk involved with this regimen. And for the families all around the world who have seen the differences in their children from applying these methods, we know that the very least these protocols offer is new hope.”

Dr. Shauna Young received her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Natural Sciences from the University of Natural Medicine in Santa Fe, NM, and since 2001 she has been practicing as a Traditional Naturopath within the disciplines of her continuing certification with the American Naturopathic Certification Board (ANCB) and as a Certified Biofeedback Specialist with the Natural Therapies Certification Board (NTCB).

'Tis the essential season for good skin care (ARA) etting aside a day of beauty for yourself before or during the busy holiday season could be your key to not only looking good, but keeping yourself safe and healthy for the rest of the year. Think of cooler weather as the essential season for good skin care. Go about it naturally by crafting your own toxic-free skin care products that feature the benefits of pure, plant-derived essential oils.

S

Step 1: Start your new yearly routine by examining and evaluating your skin.

Everyone should periodically perform a thorough skin examination. First, get naked, and then use a handheld mirror in a well-lit room to look over your entire epidermis. Map out the location, size, color and form of any mole, scar, birthmark or discoloration. Make a note of any troubling changes that occur in any of these permanent skin features, such as blemishes, moles or lesions that are or become persistently itchy, bleeding, waxy, translucent, and hard or clustered together. Pay special attention to any blemish that increases in size and has an irregular edge.

Make an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist if you note anything out of the ordinary.

Step 2: Adjust your skin care routine. Now is the time to help your skin recover from summer sun and wind as well as get yourself ready to look your best for the parties, family, friends (and photos) of the holiday season. To that end, the most effective approach isn't premium cosmetics - simply get adequate rest, good nutrition and hydration. Here are some lifestyle tips to promote great skin: * Minimize caffeine. * Get at least eight hours of sleep every night. * Eat right - you already know what to avoid. * Eat whole, fresh fruits and colorful vegetables. Beta carotene-rich carrots, pumpkin and sweet potatoes can even skin color and help prolong

your summer glow. * Drink pure, clean water instead of coffee, soda or sweetened juices. * Get exercise and fresh air - 20 minutes every day is adequate and easy.

Expensive cleansers are mostly water with a small percentage of "active ingredients" thrown in, while high-end lotions and creams are mostly water emulsified with a bit of oil. Both of these types of formulations are inherently unstable and must be preserved and stabilized with a whole host of potentially toxic and irritating ingredients that have everything to do with maintaining the product on the store shelf and nothing to do with maintaining your healthy skin. Why pay for what you don't need or want?

Step 3: Create your own safe and natural skin care products. What's not in your skin care products is perhaps more important than what is in your skin care products. You can control what goes on your body by making and using a few essential skin care products yourself. Aromatherapy expert Tom Havran offers cleanser, moisturizer, and hydrating mist recipes that call for lavender and geranium essential oils which are toning, calming and adaptable to all skin types.

Cleanser. A gentle, natural liquid soap created when an alkaline mineral salt is combined with a natural vegetable oil such as sweet almond is the cleanest clean you can use.

Soap can be drying for sensitive individuals, so don't overdo it and make sure you follow up with a moisturizer.

Ingredients: 1 cup unscented liquid vegetable oil based soap 2 tablespoons water or unflavored green tea 1/4 teaspoon lavender essential oil 1/4 teaspoon geranium essential oil Directions: Combine soap, water (or tea) and essential oils in a small

bottle. Apply about 1 tablespoon to a soft, wet washcloth and gently scrub damp skin in a circular buffing motion (not too long or with too much force). Rinse with warm water and follow with moisturizer below.

Moisturizer. We need a moisturizer to re-fat the skin after cleansing. Washing with soap lifts away dirt, make-up and dead skin and keeps skin bright and pores clear, but it also strips our skin of its natural, protective (and wrinklefighting) oil known as sebum.

A light-bodied and absorbent, non-clogging oil such as grapeseed or jojoba applied to stilldamp skin after rinsing away your liquid soap-based cleanser will perform the same function as costly lotions and creams but at a fraction of the price.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup grapeseed oil 1/2 cup jojoba oil 1/4 teaspoon lavender essential oil 1/4 teaspoon geranium essential oil Directions: Combine all ingredients in a small squeeze bottle, apply a teaspoon to the palm of hand, rub hands together and smooth over damp, freshly cleansed skin, pat dry any excess water or oil.

Toning and hydrating mist. As the day goes on, you'll inevitably lose that fresh glow

of the morning. Some areas of your skin might become increasingly dry while others might be oily. A simple mixture of pure water and toning lavender and geranium essential oils can help diminish an oily appearance while moistening dry areas.

Ingredients: 1 cup water 1/4 teaspoon lavender essential oil 1/4 teaspoon geranium essential oil Small spray mister bottle

Directions: Combine water and essential oils in a bottle. Shake vigorously and apply two to three spritzes of the mist to skin. Smooth over surface if needed.

cional. Ánima Estudios comenzó la producción de “La leyenda de la Llorona”, inspirada en los relatos históricos que han sobrevivido, evolucionado y trascendido en boca de decenas de generaciones, desde el México precolombino hasta la actualidad.

El filme estará ambientado en Xochimilco, Ciudad de México, escenario principal que acogerá a la escalofriante mujer, cuyos relatos la ubican lamentándose cerca de donde fluye el agua. Ánima Estudios adquirió los derechos de “Leo San Juan”, “Teodora Villavicencio”, “Don Andrés” y sus amigos, quienes fueran entrañables personajes de la “La leyenda de la Nahuala”, de Animex Estudios, para que en esta ocasión enfrenten a “La Llorona”.

Ricardo Arnaiz y Omar Mustre fungen como escritores del proyecto, el cual planea llegar a las salas comerciales a finales de 2011, a fin de preservar la leyenda.

Ricky habla de sus novias y novios

M

éxico, (Notimex).- El cantante Ricky Martin aborda su apasionada relación con dos mexicanas, y su primer amor gay, como parte de su autobiografía “Yo”.

Aunque a lo largo de una carrera de más de tres décadas el boricua separó su vida privada de la profesional, ahora abre la puerta de su vida y del trayecto que lo encumbró.

En el texto, el intérprete habla de sus recuerdos de la infancia, los sacrificios que hizo su familia para apoyarlo en alcanzar su sueño y sus experiencias de juventud dentro del grupo Menudo.

Explora su búsqueda de identidad durante el fenómeno de “Livin´ la vida loca”, reflexiona sobre el hecho de aceptar su sexualidad y admite las opresivas consecuencias que pueden traer la negación de sus sentimientos y la fama.

También comparte algunos de los momentos más cruciales de su vida, como los viajes a la India que lo llevaron a crear la Fundación Ricky Martin, y la experiencia de convertirse en padre.

En el libro refiere además a México como su trampolín: “Siempre estaré agradecidísimo por todo lo que me trajo y todas las oportunidades que me dio. Fue mi trampolín al resto del mundo, porque del teatro pasé a la telenovela, de la telenovela al cine y del cine volví a la música”.

Sobre un amor en México, dijo: “Es una mujer brillante, dulce y cariñosa. Rápidamente comenzamos a salir y al poco tiempo se convirtió en mi compañera, mi amiga, mi todo”.

Admite también una relación tormentosa con una mujer del teatro, "intensa, pasional y prohibida", pues estaba separada en el momento que vivieron su amor, pero ella regresó con su marido.

La historia de Ricky Martin trata de las lecciones inspiradoras de su vida, las relaciones que le permitieron encontrar el amor y las decisiones cruciales que ha debido tomar para convertirse en el hombre y el padre que es.

En “Yo” confiesa el sufrimiento de pensar que sería rechazado si confesaba su homosexualidad.

"Si con ellas (mis memorias) puedo evitar un sólo suicidio de jóvenes atormentados, les habré dado a mis hijos una razón para que estén orgullosos de mí.

“Escribir este libro me permitió explorar los diferentes caminos y experiencias que me han llevado a ser quien soy hoy. He tenido que atar cabos sueltos que nunca antes había intentado, unir y trabajar profundamente en las memorias que ya había borrado de mi mente. Hacer esto no fue fácil, pero una vez que empecé, me di cuenta del increíble proceso de cicatrización que había comenzado”.

Minero chileno corre en maratón

N

ueva York (Notimex).- Edison Peña, el minero chileno conocido como “El Atleta”, quien permaneció con otros 32 compañeros atrapados a 700 metros de profundidad en la mina San José por casi 70 días, aceptó la invitación de participar en el popular Maratón de Nueva York este domingo.

Peña, de 34 años, fue conocido por no dejar de hacer ejercicio y correr por medio de los camino subterráneos entre cinco y 10 kilómetros al día durante el tiempo que estuvo atrapado en la mina.

Los coordinadores de la versión número 41 del maratón, que recorrerá los cinco condados de la “Gran Manzana”, indicaron que Peña, quien

fue el doceavo minero en ser rescatado el mes pasado en la mina de Copiapó, será el invitado de honor del evento.

Mary Wittenberg, presidenta del maratón, destacó que el minero representa valores como “perseverancia” e “inspiración” y que será un honor su participación en la carrera anual.

Peña, quien llega a esta ciudad el jueves, participará en la carrera promocional de cinco millas a realizarse el viernes.

La maratón inicia en el condado de Staten Island, luego pasa por Brooklyn y Queens, recorre algunos sectores de Manhattan, sube hasta el Bronx y regresa al Parque Central, donde termina.

Rentería es un GIGANTE

B

ogotá, (Notimex).- Edgar Rentería, el gigante de la Serie Mundial de beisbol en Estados Unidos, fue el calificativo de los medios de comunicación locales al pelotero colombiano, figura en el juego de San Francisco contra Texas. “Édgar Rentería es Gigante: campeón y el Más Valioso de Serie Mundial..Édgar Rentería, el más valioso de la Serie Mundial.. Lo que hizo Rentería fue maravilloso. Con jonrón de Rentería Gigantes se coronaron campeones de la Serie Mundial !, fueron los titulares.

El barranquillero conectó un extrabase en la séptima entrada con dos hombres en circulación para la victoria de San Francisco 3 carreras por 1 sobre Texas en el quinto partido por la Serie Mundial.

El campo corto colombiano hizo su segundo jonrón en la serie y se constituyó en hombre clave para la conquista del primer título de los Gigantes desde que juegan en San Francisco.

“Como hace 13 años, el campocorto colombiano se convirtió en el héroe de la Serie Mundial, al dar el batazo decisivo para que Gigantes se coronara campeón de las Grandes Ligas, tras vencer 3-1 a Rangers”, recordó la prensa local.
