"The importance of keeping our community informed is an achievement that El Observador (EO) has had. I congratulate this good performance in our community," said CA State Assemblyman Joe Coto and former chair of Latino Caucus of the California Assembly.

Along with Assemblyman Joe Coto, several additional local officials have recognized EO’s efforts of keeping the community informed for 30 years. Congressmembers Zoe Lofgren and Mike Honda, the Board of Supervisors Santa Clara County, as well as San Jose’s entire City Council and Mayor Chuck Reed.

The city’s commendation states that EO provides information with cultural and language sen-

sitivity, commitment, involvement, and many social, economic and public policy issues. It also highlights the continuous support to aspiring reporters and the contributions made by the weekly newspaper.

“EO has earned a great reputation in the community. I can’t stop reading it week after week. A newspaper both in English and Spanish,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese, who led the effort in recognizing the newspaper’s presence in the county.

The resolution presented by the board of supervisors recognizes EO for its tireless dedication to the Latino Community, serving as a respected and reliable source for relevant news, but also as an advocate for furthering the community through education.

NCLR Urges Party Leaders To Denounce Negative Campaign Ads

W

ashington, DC—Janet Murguía, President and CEO of NCLR (National Council of La Raza), sent letters today to Democratic National Committee Chairman Timothy Kaine and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, urging both Democrats and Republicans to denounce efforts to advance campaigns by scapegoating Latinos. NCLR, the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, issued the following statement:

tactics. In addition, we are urging them to take the necessary steps to ensure that all of their candidates and campaigns refrain from using this type of maneuvering for the remainder of the election season.

“As a nonpartisan organization, we have worked closely with members of both parties, and we do not support or endorse any candidate for office. This is not a question of taking issue with any individual candidate or his or her policy positions. This is a matter of protecting our democratic process and promoting respect, civility, and common decency for all Americans.

“These kinds of ads are offensive and disrespectful and have no place in our electoral process. They should not have a place in the Democratic or Republican parties either. We urge both parties to renounce such campaign maneuvers and avoid scapegoating in this critical election year.”

Ocurrielcias

“NCLR is very concerned by how several candidates for office in both parties are stirring up anti-immigrant sentiment for political gain. Recent ads aired across the country have used photos, footage, and language that contain blatantly negative stereotypes and caricatures of Hispanic Americans. While extreme attacks are, unfortunately, not uncommon to this election year, we are exhorting the leaders of both parties to immediately denounce such

he Latino voter really has three options this coming Election Day, November 2, 2010. Voting Republican, voting Democratic, and not voting at all.

To be an involved citizen who gets the respect of others, Latino voters must vote because it indicates that you have exercised your right to vote which makes you some elected official’s constituent. Many youthful voters are very impatient with the progress made by the Obama Administration that was elected on the theme “Change you can believe in.”

So let’s take a look at the reality, which may be perceived by the issues faced and addressed by the Obama Administration since taking office during January 2009, only 22 months ago.

First, actions taken prevented the collapse of the world’s monetary system undermined by eight years of neglect by the prior Republican Bush Administration.

Second, was the courage to bankroll financial institutions and the automotive industry with massive amounts of ‘bail-out funding’ that added to an already inflated national deficit.

The outcome was that our financial system did not collapse and the world economy was sustained.

That deficit was created by the Bush Administration which conducted two wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) using money borrowed from other nations while refusing to tax the very rich. Also Obama proposes to tax the extremely wealthy.

The issue of jobs needed by the unemployed is really a false issue. The real issue is that corporate executives have focused on profits only without also being the creative stewards who create and sustain jobs in America.

Corporations have parked profits made overseas ‘offshore’ to evade taxes that would pay for infrastructural elements needed by business (airports, harbors, roads, power grids, etc.).

The unemployed voter must realize that jobs are located in factories. Corporations have located factories in offshore areas where labor is cheapest and have almost no rights to demand safe working conditions.

Education has been supported with the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs. Now student loans are obtained directly from a federal agency rather CONTRIBUTORS: MARIO JIMENEZ HECTOR CURRIEL CINTHIA RODRIGUEZ

than a bank. Community colleges have received ‘expansion monies’ to increase the volume of students enrolled by 500,000 per year.

President Obama has been harassed as no other American president with accusations that he was not ‘born in America,’ that he is a Muslim; that he is a socialist; and that he doesn’t care. Consider the record: a health care national policy was passed. A schedule to withdraw combat troops from Iraq was achieved. A promise to deal with the ‘Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell’ military policy is being addressed by asking Congress to pass the legislation required; the privatization of the Social Security Program has been thwarted. Consider President Obama’s effort to do something for the poor and unemployed of this nation. Obama wants to establish a policy that would reduce abortions; to have wage policies, which would pay women on a par with men; and to care for the chronically sick. Even mental health issues were included in that national health care policy which no partisan Republican supported.

Do not forget that President Obama re-established American international standing in the world of nations by being willing to negotiate and communicate.

President Obama is a well-educated, patient wise man that is succeeding without any help from neither the extreme left nor the extreme right. He has confronted racist prejudice, bigotry and bias very well.

The Obama Administration needs a Democratic majority in both the Senate and the House. Is it possible that the Latino swing vote will deliver that welcome outcome much to the dismay of the Party of ‘No.’ If you want the peoples business to get more attention than that of corporations and special interests, you are well advised to vote Democratic and tell your friends to do the same. The Latino vote must get out to the polls where it will count. Acquire respect and honor by voting in your own interest. Latinos need to demonstrate that they are no longer ‘the sleeping giant.’

Simply stated, if you the Latino voter want less government: vote Republican so that the very rich and corporations benefit. If you want a government that cares for the business of the people, vote Democratic. Then let us all live with that collective vote. The Latino vote really can count this time.Δ

Caltrans Awards $24 Million for Safe Routes to School

S

acramento - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded $24 million for 85 Safe Routes to School projects to improve safety for children in grades K-12 who walk and bicycle to school.

Nothing is more important than the safety of our children, said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim. By improving safety, more children are encouraged to walk and bicycle to school, ultimately resulting in healthier children and less traffic congestion around schools.

The funding will pay for new crosswalks, curb ramps, sidewalks, bicycle paths, traffic signals, flashing beacons, signs, striping, and pedestrian countdown signals.

California was the first state to legislate its own Safe Routes to School program with dedicated funding in 1999. To date, the state has awarded $268 million for Safe Routes to School projects.

¿Cómo ayuda a la gente sin seguro, trabajo, papeles?

A

continuación se presentan algunas de las preguntas más frecuentes que ha oído NAM desde que el presidente Obama promulgó la ley de reforma de atención sanitaria en marzo.

P: Soy un hombre de 32 años de edad que acaba de ser liberado de prisión. Tengo hipertensión crónica y diabetes.

Ha sido difícil encontrar trabajo y aún más difícil el acceso a un seguro médico. ¿Qué puedo hacer ahora y cómo cambiará en 2014 cuando la ley de asistencia sanitaria se aplique plenamente?

R: Actualmente, en California cada condado individualmente tiene la responsabilidad de proveer servicios médicos básicos a las personas que no pueden pagarlos y que no son elegibles para otros programas públicos. También puede haber una clínica sin fines de lucro disponible donde vive que acepte pacientes en una escala móvil de honorarios en función de sus ingresos. Sin embargo, a partir del 1 de enero de 2014, cuando la ley de atención sanitaria asequible se aplique plenamente, tendrá derecho a Medi-Cal. P: Mi esposo y yo trabajamos, pero no tenemos seguro médico por parte de nuestros trabajos y no nos podemos permitir un seguro privado. Aunque actualmente nuestra situación no sea legal, nuestros dos hijos son ciudadanos de E.U.A. y están inscritos en el programa de seguro médico infantil de California, Healthy Families. ¿Hay algo en la nueva ley de atención sanitaria que pueda ayudar a nuestra familia a obtener asistencia médica asequible?

R: Sus hijos y otros miembros de la familia que estén en situación legal, seguirán siendo elegibles para Healthy Families, Medi-Cal, Medicare, y también podrán comprar un seguro médico asequible en el nuevo mercado de seguros. Los californianos en situación ilegal todavía podrán inscribirse en Medi-

Cal de Urgencias para recibir tratamiento de emergencia (si cumplen con otras reglas de elegibilidad) y pueden seguir recibiendo servicios sanitarios a precios asequibles en los centros locales de asistencia médica de la comunidad y pagar en función de sus ingresos.

Además, debido a los requisitos ya existentes por la Ley de Tratamiento Médico de Emergencia y del Trabajo (EMTALA), los hospitales siguen siendo responsables de tratar y estabilizar a las personas sin seguro médico que necesitan tratamiento de emergencia en virtud de la nueva ley de reforma de atención sanitaria.

P: Soy una mujer de 45 años de edad y me acaban de despedir. No tengo calificación para COBRA - la continuación temporal de la cobertura de seguro médico que los empleados antiguos o sus cónyuges reciben por tarifas de grupo - y no tengo para pagar un seguro privado. ¿Me puede ayudar la nueva ley?

R: Hoy, bajo el sistema actual, si usted tiene niños en casa, puede tener derecho a cobertura por Medi-Cal o, si no tiene niños en casa, puede tener derecho a la atención sanitaria del condado. También es elegible para recibir atención sanitaria a través de clínicas comunitarias. Varias clínicas de California ya han empezado a recibir nueva financiación proporcionada por la Ley de Atención Sanitaria Asequible.

En total, la Ley proveerá 11 billones de dólares en nueva financiación para los Centros de Salud calificados por el gobierno federal durante los próximos cinco años.

Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre la ley de reforma de la atención sanitaria para el experto, llame al: (800)-871-9012 Ext. 712389 #, o mande un correo electrónico con sus preguntas a asktheexpert@newamericamedia.org o mándelas por correo postal a PO Box 410447, San Francisco, CA 94141-0447.

Toman acción contra Banco de América Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

oncejales anunciaron que la ciudad ha logrado apartar mil millones de dólares en la modificación de préstamos a fin de detener las ejecuciones hipotecarias.

El anuncio lo hizo en rueda de prensa la Vicealcadesa Judy Chirco a lado de los Concejales Sam Liccardo, Madison Nguyen, Rose Herrera y Kansen Chu. Chirco explicó que en el 2009 la ciudad tomó esta decisión por unanimidad a fin de que miles de personas no sigan perdiendo sus casas.

La ciudad de San José tiene ahora sólo el 20% de sus inversiones en el Bank of America. El banco ya no es el banco tan grande de esta zona del Valle del Silicio.

“El Banco de América nunca ha querido negociar. Han hecho que personas como yo perdamos nuestras casas”, dijo Gina Gates.

La ciudad de San José se suma a la presión que están ejerciendo otras ciudades debido a que los bancos han utilizado los procedimientos fraudulentos para inundar el mercado de la vivienda con embargos ilegales, millones de familias estadounidenses han tenido que abandonar a sus hogares y han devastadado a la economía.

“Estamos demostrando que los gobiernos locales pueden hacer una gran diferencia”, dijo el Concejal Sam Liccardo.

W

ith students gearing up to apply to colleges this fall, it struck me that despite minimal guidance — from the types of courses to the exams we should have taken — my four siblings and I all went to college. Yet a lack of guidance about the college-going process often sabotages academic opportunities for many students.

There were 1,000 students in my freshman class in one of Chicago’s biggest high schools.

Our counselor had his hands full advising hundreds of kids at one time. It was easy to miss out on critical guidance. I know now that I wasn’t taking the kinds of courses that would have best prepared me for college-level work and the College Board’s SATŽ college admission exam.

By my sophomore year, I was unchallenged, disillusioned and straying from fundamental courses. Like most kids, I didn’t know that I should be taking four years of English, and three to four years each of math, science, and history or the social sciences. This core curriculum builds critical thinking and reading skills and lays the foundation for college success.

By pure luck, I became friendly with some fellow students who were unusually excited about APÂŽ courses. I signed up right away, challenging myself with these university-level classes that prepare students to do well on the SAT and in college. In this group of ambitious

kids, peer pressure meant we were all focused on doing well and getting into college.

Where Parents Fit In Parents naively think that as long as their kids bring home fairly decent grades and don’t get into trouble, there is no reason to get too involved. That was certainly the case with my parents, who didn’t fully understand whether or not I was getting the best academic preparation to help me get into college and do well once accepted.

I’m here to tell you, kids shouldn’t fly solo or leave college planning to chance. Although I was lucky, expecting students to navigate the college admission process on their own is a gamble that could adversely affect their whole lives.

Latinos Are the Future Latinos are the future leaders of this country; let’s be prepared to take the reins. Parents and students should seek help from school counselors to ensure that kids take the right classes, enroll in advanced courses, study hard and familiarize themselves with the SAT. There’s too much at stake — not just for our families but for our country as well.

The College Board’s SAT exam will be administered across the country on Dec. 4. Most universities need to receive applicants’ test scores by January to make admission decisions.

Last year, the SAT enabled 1.6 million kids to get on the path to a university education to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Don’t be left out next year.

By Cinthia Rodriguez – El Observador With only a few days left before the voting polls open, Justice for Immigrants (JFI) made a last attempt to remind the community to participate in mid term elections.

On June 24th, JFI lead a 30 member delegation made up of faith leaders, public officials, media, students, community organizers, university professors and county department representatives that handle immigrant affairs to witness firsthand, the effects of SB 1070 and the history behind the controversial law.

“In this state, it is quite possible that there are counties that can go the way of Maricopa County and what we saw happening in Maricopa County is once they started, it spread throughout the entire state,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese.

Another reason for the trip was to find out what lead to the passage of the law and analyze if it can happen in Santa Clara County. Maricopa County and Santa Clara County have roughly the same number of immigrants, estimated at 650,000.

“What I was told time and again, is that if Latino voters in Arizona that were elegible to vote, were registered and voted even in moderate numbers that law never would have passed,” said Councilmember Ash Karla.

A series of speakers also gave shared their personal testimonies when it came to being treated unfair for being undocumented and all the hardships it entails. Although they can’t vote, they help mobilize and spread the message of how urgent immigration reform is needed. Students are hopeful that the DREAM Act will pass, market workers want to be treated fairly and others want to see an improvement in the relationship between the police department and the Latino community.

“Lots of time people feel that their vote will not make a difference and I’m here to tell you that is not the case,” said Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren. “There is much at stake in this election. As you think about the candidates, I ask you to consider what is their stand on the Arizona law.”

Education

Improving your child's math skills with fun, educational programs (ARA) ow do you tell the difference between an online game that is a valuable educational tool and those that are merely fun? It may be difficult to assess the educational value of computer programs aimed at children - especially those aged 4 to 9.

technology, so fun, online programs can be a great way to supplement what they're learning in school."

"Parents may see a familiar cartoon character on a product and think that must mean it's a good game for their child," says Mickelle Weary, Academic Director of DreamBox Learning K-3 Math, a web-based math program. "But is it really educational? Or is it just fluff? It can be very difficult to know until you've already bought the software and your child has played it for a while."

*Does your child's school use it? Or other schools? If so, that's usually a great endorsement that the product is worth trying.

H

You may allow or even encourage your child to spend a substantial amount of time on a website featuring her favorite cartoon characters (or even spend a lot of money on it), only to find that it's not very educational. Worse yet, you may also discover that the program doesn't challenge your child or hold her interest for very long if the software doesn't adapt to her skill level.

"With education budgets being slashed nationwide, many parents feel that supplementing their child's education is more important than ever," Weary says. "Kids are naturally drawn to

Weary offers parents and teachers some tips for evaluating the educational value of a child's math game:

* Is it web-based? Does it create a specific account for your child? Web-based software, like DreamBox Learning K-3 Math, is more likely to offer individualized instruction than older generation CD-Roms, and certainly provides more feedback than a workbook. * Does the game adapt as your child's skill level and needs change? The best products start out by assessing where each child is developmentally in his or her math skills, then adapt all aspects of the game experience to match the child's needs. And as the child learns more, the game evolves to present challenges that keep pace with the child's abilities and interest level. * Does the game teach conceptual understanding of new ideas or is it simply a fun way to practice math facts?

* Is it interactive and engaging? The product should be fun as well as instructional. Making education fun is a great way to get kids to keep coming back for more. Children will be drawn to products that encourage them to interact and affect the outcome of the game. * Does the game give the child freedom of choice? Kids will be more engaged if they can direct how they play and choose what to do within the game. A good educational game should offer children options for how to progress at their particular skill level. * Are parents able to track their child's progress through the game? Look for a product that provides parents the ability to generate detailed reports on their child's progress. Not only do these reports give parents a snapshot of what their child is learning and how effective the game is, they can be shared with children's teachers to help focus on areas of strength and challenges. * Is the game credible?

Are You Passing Dental Disease on to Your Kids?

(NewsUSA) id you know that, like health problems such as cholesterol and high blood pressure, parents can also pass on bad breath and dental disease?

No, cavities aren't genetic -- but the oral bacteria that cause dental diseases are actually contagious. When parents share utensils, drink out of the same cup, kiss or share toothbrushes with children, they spread bacteria to their children's mouths. Children can also spread the bacteria amongst themselves by such actions as mouthing the same toys.

Not sure how to protect your whole family from dental disease? Make oral hygiene a family affair by following these tips: * Establish good oral health habits. You can wipe young children's teeth with water to help avoid cavities. Start brushing your child's teeth with a pea-sized amount of toothpaste at 12 months, and start flossing when the gaps between your child's teeth begin to close. Teach older children to brush their teeth for the correct amount of time -- two minutes -- by singing a song like "Happy Birthday" or setting a timer.

And make sure that you're brushing and flossing, too. * Use probiotics. Oral care probiotics can

D

be an effective step in a child's oral care routine.

EvoraKids (www.myevorakids.com), a chewable containing a special blend of oral care probiotics designed specifically for children, works by flooding the mouth with good bacteria.

These good bacteria adhere to chewing surfaces in the mouth, including crevices, pits and fissures, helping to support tooth health. Parents can get into the act, too, with another version of the probiotic called EvoraPlus (www.myevoraplus.com). By properly balancing the bacteria in the mouth, these products help support dental health. * Visit the dentist regularly. A dentist is more likely to notice problems with a child's teeth and gums than a parent. It will make it easier to track if you are able to set up regular dental visits for everyone in the family at about the same time each year. Most children and adults should see their dentist every six months for a regular cleaning and check up. * Choose tooth-friendly foods. When providing meals and snacks, choose foods that help increase saliva flow, like fresh fruits and vegetables. Teach kids to drink water after eating to rinse their teeth. Avoid foods that stick to teeth, like soft, chewy candies.

Padres deben dar el ejemplo para que sus hijos no sean obesos L a obesidad infantil representa uno de los problemas de salud más grandes del país particularmente para los hispanos.

Según datos de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades el 20 por ciento de niños hispanos entre los 12 y 19 años padece de obesidad. En contraste el 18 por ciento de todos los niños entre los 12 y 19 años padece de obesidad.

"Podríamos decir que es el principal problema de nuestra comunidad", dijo El Dr. Felipe Lobelo, un especialista en nutrición de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, una agencia del Gobierno federal que promueve la buena salud.

"Somos lamentablemente el grupo en Estados Unidos con las tasas más altas de obesidad en adultos y niños y tenemos

que hacer algo respecto", dijo.

(Descarga la entrevista completa en formato .mp3 (5MB) o lee la transcripción de la entrevista).

Ese algo podría resumirse en los siguientes cinco hábitos que el Dr. Lobelo recomienda a padres de familia o tutores que buscan combatir la obesidad infantil en casa:

El Dr. Lobelo dice que el consumo de frutas y verduras es fundamental para combatir la obesidad infantil. Señala que los padres pueden incorporar frutas a la dieta de los niños reemplazando los dulces y las grasas a la hora de comer un bocadillo. Para aumentar el

consumo de verduras sugiere que los padres preparen y condimenten las verduras que más les gustan a sus niños y que los ayuden a reducir el consumo de grasas y comidas altas en calorías. "Lo importante es aumentar las probabilidades de que los niños consuman frutas y verduras y bocadillos saludables, porque sabemos que no tienen muchas oportunidades de hacerlo durante el día."

des del corazón y ciertos tipos de cáncer. Por lo tanto, recomienda que los niños hagan por lo menos una hora diaria de actividad física. "No se trata de que se entrenen para un deporte en específico o que el ejercicio sea riguroso todos los días. Se trata de que los niños jueguen en los espacios abiertos, que pasen menos tiempo encerrados en casa, que salgan a caminar y que tengan un estilo de vida que no sea sedentario", señaló.

les dan suficiente importancia en el hogar, dijo el Dr. Lobelo.

"No se trata de que el padre le diga al hijo que tenga hábitos saludables pero él mismo no los tiene", dijo. Los CDC ofrecen consejos a padres de familia para equilibrar el ejercicio con la buena alimentación.

"Toda la familia tiene que tener hábitos saludables, salir a caminar juntos, tratar de reducir el número de horas de televisión y tratar de evitar el consumo de bebidas azucaradas", señaló.

4) Eliminar el consumo de bebidas azucaradas En los últimos años se ha dado una explosión en el consumo de bebidas azucaradas como sodas, jugos y bebidas energéticas e incluso muchas veces las familias desconocen cuánta azúcar contienen estas bebidas. "Las sodas tienen muchas calorías que no tienen ningún componente nutricional y que no contribuyen a una dieta saludable", dijo el Dr. Lobelo.

2) Pasar menos tiempo enfrente de una pantalla La obesidad difícilmente se combate con éxito sin cambiar hábitos sedentarios como ver demasiada televisión, jugar videojuegos o pasar horas frente a la computadora. "Todos esos son momentos sedentarios que contribuyen al desarrollo de la obesidad", dijo el Dr. Lobelo.

Is Your Foot Fracture an Early Sign of Osteoporosis?

CHICAGO

U

nexplained foot fractures may be the first sign of osteoporosis, a bone thinning disease which affects over 28 million Americans and accounts for 1.5 million bone fractures a year.??

According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, osteoporosis is frequently referred to as the “silent crippler” since it often progresses without any symptoms or isn’t diagnosed until a person experiences pain from a bone fracture.

Georgeanne Botek, DPM, FACFAS, a Cleveland foot and ankle surgeon, explains that the porous nature of bones in people with osteoporosis makes them more susceptible to bone fractures, especially in the feet. “Because the bones are in a weakened state, normal weight-bearing actions like walking can cause the bones in the foot to break,” says Dr. Botek. “In fact, many patients visit their foot and ankle surgeon suffering from foot pain only to find out they actually have a stress fracture, without having experienced an injury.” ??

While osteoporosis is most commonly seen in women over age 50, younger people and men are also affected. Early symptoms can include increased pain with walking accompanied by redness and swelling on the top of the foot. “Oftentimes patients don’t seek treatment for their symptoms for weeks or even months, thinking the pain will pass,” says Dr. Botek.

“The best advice is, don’t ignore foot pain of any type.

Early intervention can make all the difference in your treatment and recovery.” ??Foot and ankle surgeons are able to diagnose osteoporosis through bone densitometry tests, which measure calcium and mineral levels in the bones through lowdose radiation x-ray, or possibly through a routine x-ray. “This is why prevention and early intervention are key; women should make sure bone densitometry tests are part of their wellness examinations when indicated by their physicians,” Dr. Botek explains.??I f you are diagnosed with osteoporosis, it’s important to protect your feet from stress fractures. Wear shoes that provide support and cushioning, such as athletic running shoes, to provide extra shock absorption and protection. Custom orthotics may also be recommended to protect the foot from pressure and provide shock absorption, particularly during exercise. ??For more information on osteoporosis of the foot, visit the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons’ website, FootHealthFacts.org.

Celebrating Day of the Dead

By Cinthia Rodriguez - El Observador remember when my mom would cook several traditional dishes and place them on a table decorated with candles, flowers and other food. It wasn't because we were having family over for dinner. It turns out that people celebrate Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in different ways and my mom's is one of many.

The table also had photos of family members who were no longer with us, like my grandfather. The table that can be described as a customary altar also had sweet bread and even beer. My

mom had told me the spirits of our family members would come and enjoy their favorite dishes and wash it down with a bottle of beer and enjoy dessert.

She would pray and prepare everything

by November 2, when Dia de los Muertos is celebrated.

In other parts of Mexico and Latin America, families will travel to the cemetery, decorate the tombstone with cempasuchil flowers, have candles lit while they pray and tidy up the tombstone. Like my mom, they are making way for their loved ones to return to earth to visit them. As they all join for a colorful celebration that was once cel-

ebrated between the months of July and August, the date change didn't affect tradition.

Although the Spanish viewed this practice as a pagan ritual it kept going and is now a very recognizable day throughout the Latino community. As the day gets closer, people prepare by setting up personal altars, decorating sugar skulls and in some cases people hold vigils at a cemetery.

In the Bay Area you can celebrate Dia de los Muertos without traveling that far. Listed are the activities to help people join the celebration.

Démos vida a la muerte Por Rosario Vital - El Observador l término muerte es utilizado de mil maneras. Al mismo tiempo el concepto de la muerte es sinónimo de miedo, tristeza e incertidumbre. La muerte está asociada a momentos tristes. En otros países como en México existe una tendencia a creer que hay vida después de la muerte, algo que usted y yo probablemente desconocemos.

Hace 7 años atrás EO entrevistó a Homero Oyarce, Trovador de la Bahía, quien en el hospital de Stanford y en el Hospital de Veteranos cantaba a las personas que estaban con enfermedades terminales.

“De la misma manera que celebramos el nacimiento de alguien, también debemos celebrar el paso de un ser humano a la muerte, hay que despedirlo con alegría”, explica Oyarce, quien tuvo gratas experiencias con sus pacientes que pasaron a la otra vida escuchando sus alegres canciones.

“Hay que contribuir dando amor a la gente”, agrega “El Trovador”.

La muerte por muy dolorosa que sea hay que celebrarla, nuestros antepasados han llevado la filosofía de vida.

“Todos los años recuerdo a seres queridos que

E

nos adelantaron en el camino”, dijo Linda Sánchez quien observa los altares que se ponen en algunos negocios del Este de San José.

“En el Día de los Muertos expresamos a través de altares que nuestros difuntos están vivos en nuestros corazones”, dijo Selena Gomez.

Las festividades y celebraciones tradicionales no tienen frontera. El Día de los Muertos es una de las grandes celebraciones que se vive con fervor también en el Área de la Bahía.

Diferentes negocios instalan sus coloridos altares que recuerdan a los ancestros a aquellos que no están haciendo compañía. La tradición de los altares tiene detrás un creencia significativa. A continuación las actividades por el Día de los Muertos:

Las fotografías son del destacado artista Rio Yañez. El joven exhibe más de 30 fotos en SOMArts localizado en la 934 de la calle Brannan en San Francisco. Las muestras se quedan hasta el 6 de noviembre. “Conectamos la Revolución Mexicana con la sanación del Día de los Muertos”, expresó Yañez.

Discovery en español investiga las rutas y el transporte de la droga en narcosubmarinos

M

iami, Florida.– El 17 de julio del 2008, los medios de prensa mexicanos publicaron en primera plana una noticia insólita: un semisumergible de doce metros de largo había sido interceptado por las fuerzas armadas a 400 kilómetros de la costa de Oaxaca, en el Sureste de México.

A bordo de la embarcación las autoridades encontraron un cargamento de cinco toneladas y media de cocaína dirigido al Cartel de Sinaloa. A partir de estos hechos, Discovery en Español investiga el origen y evolución de este innovador medio de transporte de drogas en su nueva producción original Narcosubmarinos, que será transmitida el domingo 7 de noviembre a las 9 PM ET/PT. Creados en Colombia hace cerca de 20 años, los semisumergibles se han convertido en una pieza clave en la logística del transporte de estupefacientes de Suramérica a México y Estados Unidos. Su considerable capacidad de carga, de hasta 10 toneladas, y su facilidad para navegar alejados de costas y puertos sin ser detectados, los han convertido en la innovación más reciente de los capos de la droga y en el sucesor de avionetas, contenedores y lanchas rápidas.

Realizado a lo largo de ocho meses, Narcosubmarinos lleva

a los televidentes a través de la selva colombiana para descubrir astilleros clandestinos donde se construyen estos artefactos con los materiales más básicos y artesanales. A través de videos inéditos de intercepciones en alta mar, imágenes exclusivas y los testimonios de personas como el ex narcotraficante mexicano M. A. Montoya; miembros de las fuerzas armadas de Colombia; expertos en el narcotráfico y funcionarios de la Agencia Antinarcóticos de Estados Unidos, el documental detalla la evolución de los sumergibles auto-propulsados, sus rutas de navegación, y los factores que hacen difícil su detección e intersección.

Narcosubmarinos es una producción original de Discovery en Español a cargo de Michela Giorelli, productora ejecutiva y Rafael Rodriguez, productor supervisor. Fue realizada por la casa productora colombiana Lulo Films, bajo la dirección de Jaime Escallón Buraglia, quien también estuvo a cargo de las exitosas producciones originales Fuga de las Farc y El Rescate Perfecto.

Cuba por dentro y por fuera Por Rosario Vital El Observador n total de 18 fotógrafos de Foothill College y 18 fotógrafos cubanos presentan lo que usted desconoce de Cuba. La vida cotidiana de Cuba observada por los lentes americanos y también fotógrafos cubanos. Dos perspectivas distintas que lo harán reflexionar sobre este país.

En setiembre del 2010, 18 fotógrafos estadounidenses encabezados por Ron Herman, profesor de fotografía artística en Foothill College, viajaron a Cuba a participar en un programa de intercambio de investigación y cultura (organizado por la entidad Global Exchange).

“En Cuba, nosotros hicimos presentaciones, revisamos portafolios y exhibimos una muestra de nuestro trabajo artístico. Estas actividades jugaron un papel muy importante en unir ambas comunidades de fotógrafos y en establecer un intercambio de ideas e información.

Mientras el grupo estuvo en La Habana, mostró una exhibición denominada “Postales de California” en la Galería El Portal del Santo Angel y ofreció una recepción para fotógrafos residentes en La Habana. La muestra de fotografías de California fue donada a la Fototeca de Cuba en La Habana.

Esta muestra estará en exhibición en la galería del Krause Center for Innovation (KCI), hasta el 6 de diciembre. La recepción inagural será el día jueves 4 de noviembre, de 5:00 a las 7:00PM “Ser un fotógrafo americano en Cuba fue una

U

experiencia extraordinaria tanto a nivel profesional como personal,” dice el curador de la exhibición John Thacker. “Las imágenes seleccionadas para esta exhibición son de gran contenido y como curador de los fotógrafos americanos, mi reto fue seleccionar y organizar las imágenes de tal modo que comuniquen la visión de un forastero en el interior de Cuba.”

Los fotógrafos de Foothill College son: Sharon Beach, Alejandra Chaverri, Barbara Buchholz Collins, Michael Collins, Harlan Crowder, Corinne DeBra, Matt Drown, Ron Herman, Susan Kanda, Mary Ellen Kaschub, Jan Laskowski, Sofia Milner, Laskowski, Neeley Main, Susan Neville, Laura Oliphant, Bill Scull, Cynthia Sun y John Thacker.

Los fotógrafos cubanos son Guillermo Bello, Gonzalez Gonzelez Borges, Arien Chang Castan, Alex Castro, Mario Diaz, Raúl Cañibano Ercilla, José A. Figueroa, Jorge Gavilondo, Ramòn M. Grandal, Julio Larramendi, Alejandro González Méndez, Adrián Fernández Milanés, Manuel Piña, Perfecto Romero, Lissette Solorzano, Mabel Llevat Soy, Liudmila Velasco and Nelson Ramírez de Arellano y Leysis Quesada Vera.

La exhibición será en la Galería del KCI, sótano. La dirección del KCI es: Foothill College, 12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills, CA 94022.

El estacionamiento cuestas $2.00. Utilice el lote 4 para estacionarse. Las máquinas aceptan monedas de 25 centavos o billetes de $1. KCI se encuentra abierto al público de lunes a viernes: 7:30 AM – 8:30 PM; sábado: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM; cerrado el domingo.

Gael se confiesa con su “Revolución” Por Luis Galindo. Enviado Guanajuato (Notimex) l actor Gael García Bernal, quien aseguró ser todavía un novato como cineasta, mencionó que hace 20 años tal vez no existía esa apertura que hoy en día se plasma, al referirse a la película “Revolución”, que se presentará hoy aquí en el Teatro Juárez.

En entrevista García Bernal comentó que hace dos décadas no había una apertura como la que hoy se vive.

“Una prueba de ello, es un dato sobre esta película, en la que trabajamos 10 directores, que está financiada por dinero del Estado y a final de cuentas se nos dio libertad total de que lo quisiéramos, y eso hace 20 años no existía y no se daba esa oportunidad”, enfatizó el actor.

Asimismo, dijo que están como en un proceso de experimentar y “qué bueno que los jóvenes crezcan con esta realidad, aunque también hay casos en que no se puede, pero en efecto es otra época”.

A diferencia de otras ocasiones, abundó García Bernal es que se está dando un debate, “no sé si está a la altura, por lo menos sí logro resaltar desde un punto de vista personal de que me siento en la plena libertad de decir lo que siento”.

Respecto a su experiencia como cineasta, el protagonista de “Rudo y Cursi”, “Amores perros” y “Mala educación”, dijo que para él descubrir la
