Californianos trabajan más de 10 horas al día L

OS ÁNGELES,- El Día del Trabajo será un día de descanso muy necesitado este año para los californianos, ya que aproximadamente la mitad de las personas con empleo en el estado están trabajando arduamente, empeñando más horas y experimentando menos seguridad laboral que hace dos años, según los resultados publicados por la encuesta California Labor Day Survey, que fue realizada por Harris/Decima a nombre de Everest College.

La encuesta a nivel estatal encontró que el 51% de los californianos

con empleo está experimentando un mayor volumen de trabajo y el 53% tiene menos seguridad laboral que antes de que los problemas económicos del estado y la recesión afectarán sus trabajos.

Ante el aumento de la tasa de desempleo del estado, que alcanzó un récord del 11.9% en julio — el nivel más alto en más de medio siglo — muchos californianos están buscando soluciones para enfrentar la difícil situación laboral, según la encuesta.

La crisis económica y el duro panorama laboral de California han hecho que el 43% de las personas con

empleo y el 50% de los desempleados estén considerando un regreso a los estudios con el fin de emprender una nueva carrera, y el 27% por ciento de éstos han considerado regresar a estudiar para mejorar su carrera actual.

Por ejemplo, para el 30 de junio de 2009, la matrícula en los recintos de Everest College situados en California aumentó un 28% frente a los primeros seis meses de 2008, debido en gran parte a la popularidad de los programas de estudio relacionados con la atención médica, entre ellos asistencia médica, asistencia dental,

y facturación y codificación de seguros médicos.

Jornadas de trabajo más largas Cerca de la mitad (45%) de los californianos está trabajando más horas para mantenerse a la par con el costo de la vida aumentado de California. Al mismo tiempo, el estudio reveló que el 57% de los residentes del sur de la California indicó estar trabajando duramente, en comparación con el 46% de los residentes del norte de la California encuestados.

Entretanto, cerca de un tercio (29%) de los residentes del estado dijo que trabajarán durante el fin de semana de la fiesta del Día del Trabajo y un 15% prevé trabajar ocho horas o más. Los californianos que tienen un ingreso familiar anual promedio inferior a $40,000 están sintiendo la mayor presión y este nivel de ingresos corresponde al mayor porcentaje de trabajadores (43%) que prevé trabajar un mínimo de ocho horas o más durante el fin de semana feriado.

Preocupación en el lugar de trabajo Aunque la mayoría de los trabajadores (64%) dijo estar generalmente complacida con sus trabajos, la encuesta encontró que hay focos de descontento y pavor frente a varios aspectos de la vida laboral.

Más de la mitad de todos los trabajadores (53%) concordó que su nivel de estrés laboral ha aumentado en los últimos dos años. El mismo porcentaje de californianos dijo que su seguridad laboral ha disminuido, especialmente aquellos entre las edades de 35 a 49 años (59%), que expresaron tener menos seguridad laboral que los encuestados que tienen 50 años o más (42%).

De perder su empleo, el 40% de los encuestados dijo que consideraría abandonar el estado de California con el fin de buscar un nuevo trabajo. Entre los encuestados, los residentes del sur de la California (46%) y los hombres (45%) se declararon más dispuestos a abandonar el estado que los residentes del norte de la California (33%) y las mujeres (33%).

Además, el 27% de los encuestados dijo que podría perder su empleo durante los próximos 12 meses y el 40% cree que se le podría obligar a aceptar una reducción de salario o beneficios.

Los estudios son la solución A la hora de buscar un trabajo, cerca de un tercio de los californianos (29%) dijo que el emprender nuevos estudios aumentaría el interés de posibles empleadores.

Cifras destacadas de la encuesta California Labor Day Survey: _ Incluyendo el tiempo de viaje al trabajo, el 41% de los californianos trabaja más de 10 horas al día _ El 19% de las personas que tiene una educación inferior a la escuela secundaria trabaja más de 11 horas al día _ La crisis financiera del estado fue votada por los californianos como el problema económico más apremiante (43%), seguido por la situación laboral (27%) y la financiación de los estudios académicos (15%) _ El 35% de los encuestados dijo tener menos tiempo para dedicar a la familia y las amistades desde que comenzó la crisis económica, debido a que se ven obligados a trabajar más horas _ Tres cuartas partes de los californianos encuestados (75%) concordó que los empleadores necesitan dar más prioridad al equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida privada.

Acerca de la encuesta La encuesta California Labor Day Survey fue realizada por Harris/Decima teleVox entre 600 adultos de California (500 con empleo y 100 desempleados), durante el período entre el 6 y 14 de julio de 2009. Los resultados recopilados entre todos los participantes tienen un porcentaje de acierto de +/- 4.0 por ciento en 19 de cada 20 casos.

Distinguir lo que nos une, no lo que nos separa

INAPPROPRIATE CORPORATE INFLUENCE MUST BE MUZZLED

POR DAVID FIGUEROA CONSUL GENERAL DE MEXICO

de vida.

Si bien es cierto que los connacionales que emigran a este país llegan a percibir mejores salarios, en muchas ocasiones las condiciones de exclusión que deben enfrentar los desalientan. En su búsqueda por mejorar su calidad de vida y la de la familia, los inmigrantes que se han asentado en lugares como California, están asumiendo hoy en día un reto como propio en beneficio y desarrollo de su comunidad tanto de origen como de residencia.

Los mexicanos en el exterior han formado, asociaciones y clubes de oriundos, organizaciones formadas por emigrantes que habitan en Estados Unidos provenientes de una misma localidad para apoyar a sus comunidades.

Debido al incremento del flujo migratorio en las últimas décadas, los clubes mexicanos han constituido uno de los grupos más numerosos de la población hispana en Estados Unidos. Actualmente existen más de 600 clubes y federaciones de mexicanos en 30 ciudades de Estados Unidos.

En lo que corresponde a la circunscripción del Consulado General de México en San José, registramos en 2008 y lo que va del 2009 aproximadamente 50 clubes y 4 federaciones originarias de los estados de Zacatecas, Jalisco, Nayarit, Estado de México y Colima.

Estos Clubes o Asociaciones de mexicanos en el exterior, con el apoyo del Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior, desarrollan una agenda más variada, llevando a cabo acciones para brindar apoyo mediante proyectos transfronterizos a sus ciudades, tanto de origen como de residencia.

Por medio del trabajo colectivo, crean fondos comunes para financiar servicios básicos, obras de infraestructura, proyectos educativos y salud. Los clubes son también espacios culturales y educativos que buscan transmitir a generaciones más jóvenes las tradiciones de la comunidad de origen y principalmente reforzar los lazos que los identifican como miembros de un mismo lugar de origen.

Los proyectos productivos generan recursos que son canalizados para el financiamiento de obras de infraestructura (caminos, puentes, sistemas de drenaje y agua potable, electrificación, iglesias, parques) La esencia del proyecto de los Clubes de Oriundos y Federaciones al mantener unida a la comunidad, ha recibido el apoyo del Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior, el cual en su búsqueda por crear nuevas políticas que atiendan las necesidades y solicitudes de las comunidades, apoya los esfuerzos de organización de los mexicanos que residen en el exterior.

Por tal motivo y conscientes de que la comunidad mexicana tiene un enorme potencial de organización y respuesta a los desafíos, las Secretarías de Relaciones Exteriores y de Desarrollo Social promueven la multiplicación de los beneficios para las personas que, organizadamente, desean participar en el desarrollo y progreso de sus comunidades de origen.

El Programa 3x1 para migrantes apoya las iniciativas de los mexicanos que viven en el exterior y les brinda la oportunidad de canalizar recursos a México, en obras de impacto social que benefician directamente a sus comunidades de origen.

Este programa funciona con las aportaciones de clubes o federaciones, la del gobierno federal -a través de Sedesol- y la de los gobiernos estatal y municipal. Por cada peso que aportan los migrantes, el gobierno federal, estatal y municipal ponen 3 pesos, por eso se llama 3x1.

Es importante mencionar el papel de los consulados en la identificación de los líderes de clubes de paisanos a efecto de reconocerlos como interlocutores validos y ponerlos en contacto tanto con las autoridades mexicanas a nivel federal y estatal, como con otros líderes México americanos.

A lo largo y ancho de la Unión Americana, los inmigrantes mexicanos juegan un papel económico, político y cultural cada vez mas importante en sus comunidades de origen. Al mismo tiempo, están formulando estrategias innovadoras para la cooperación transfronteriza, estrategias que les ayudan a distinguir aquello que los une de aquello que los separa.

Si desea ser parte de este programa acérquese al Consulado de México en San José, acudiendo a sus oficinas centrales o llamando al teléfono (408) 294 3414 extensiones 133 y 131, o al club de oriundos de su lugar de origen.

L

ate last August 2009, Judge Sonia Sotomayor was sworn in as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. This timely appointment by the Obama Administration will be put to its first test immediately.

For the first time, a very important matter dealing with the inappropriate influence of corporations, which ‘focus very large amounts of money’ to influence public opinion and the formulation and passage of legislation, will be adjudicated by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Hispanic community, as the largest ethnic component of the American population, now can look to Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor as the direct representative who is Hispanic.

The case is a follow-up review of a documentary “Hillary: The Movie” which was produced by a major corporation, and which presents Hillary Clinton in a very biased perspective. The Supreme Court cut short its summer vacation in order to schedule the second adjudication effort of this very important case dealing with the essence of political power in America. Basic issues such as ‘Freedom of the Press”; Freedom of Speech” and the definition of an acceptable level of corporate resources used to mold public opinion.

Just what is at stake? The most important issue is the review of the current practice of corporations to unduly influence public opinion with ‘unlimited corporate cash funding’. Many believe that unlimited corporate support, as evidenced through lobbying and political campaign contributions, is a direct threat to democracy.

One must remember that a corporation is an organization, which is given many attributes essential to the generation

Nonetheless, in recent times, corporations have become national as well as global in their scope of operations and influence.

So the abusive use of ‘Corporate Cash in Politics’ is now a major public policy issue according to Adam Liptak (New York Times, August 30, 2009). His article states, “At issue is whether the court should overrule a 1990 decision, Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, which upheld restrictions on corporate spending to support or oppose political candidates. Review of arguments in the Supreme Court are rare, and the justices decision to call for one here may have been prompted by lingering questions about just how far campaign finance laws, including the McCain-Feingold, may go in regulating campaign spending by corporations.”

This issue needs to be expanded to corporate support of lobbying because, at present, those Democratic members of Congress who have accepted major support from corporate lobbyists who represent the health insurance and prescription drug industry, are the very members of Congress who have failed to support the current Obama Administration efforts to formulate and pass the comprehensive health care bill being proposed. In fact, much misinformation has been fabricated and presented to the public producing fear and confusion that directly benefits these special interests.

The Supreme Court needs to establish that members of Congress, both Senators

and members of the House of Representatives, are elected to represent the best interests of the people. Corporations, not being human, do not have the right and privilege of voting. However, corporations are able to focus immense wealth, which pays for the expertise needed to influence public opinion and the votes of enough members of Congress to thwart proposed legislation. Once a member of congress has accepted money from a registered lobbyist, does anyone think that member of congress will vote on legislation in a manner beneficial to the American people? Or will the vote, or lack thereof, permit the status quo to continue and/or to create a ‘protected market’ such as the one now enjoyed by the drug industry.

Today, two major legislative programs need to be resolved at the federal level. One is Comprehensive Health Care, which includes the public option. The other is the Comprehensive Immigration Reform, which includes a well-defined path towards becoming a naturalized citizen. Both impact corporations and their profits. Therefore, the U.S. Supreme Court needs to devise some manner to curb the ability of corporations to act in their own interest by the allocation of large amounts of money to promote its own interests. A human individual would recluse him/herself. So far, there is no evidence that corporations will do that when an evident conflict of interest exists. A citizen must muzzle the inappropriate corporate influence to maintain the power and influence of the vote. This maintains the essence of the American Democracy.

It favors a government influenced by the people, for the people and with the people.Δ

ÂżEn quĂŠ va la Reforma Migratoria?

T

odos sabemos que el Presidente Barack Obama y lĂ­deres del Congreso han expresado un gran interĂŠs en pasar una reforma migratoria comprensiva para los prĂłximos seis meses. Pero como ya se reportĂł en nuestro anterior artĂ­culo la Vocera de la Casa de Representantes, Congresista Nancy Pelosi dijo que el primer paso es la reforma de salud y el tema migratorio no se va a tocar hasta despuĂŠs que pase el cuidado de salud. Mientras tanto muchos se preguntan entonces ÂżPara cuĂĄndo reforma migratoria? Si en el 2010 hay

elecciones y no es la ĂŠpoca y de allĂ­ ÂżHay que esperar el 2013? “Por lo pronto hay dos grupos de trabajo conformados por la Congresista Zoe Lofgren y el grupo representado los Latinos Caucus.

WASHINGTON-U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is reminding federal contractors and subcontractors that effective Sept. 8, 2009, they will be required to use the E-Verify system to verify their employees’ eligibility to work in the United States. In July, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano strengthened employment eligibility verification by announcing the administration’s support for the regulation that will award federal contracts only to employers who use EVerify to check employee work authorization.

E-Verify, which compares information from the Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9) against federal government databases to verify workers’ employment eligibility, is a free web-based system operated by DHS in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA).

The system facilitates compliance with federal immigration laws and helps to deter unauthorized individuals from attempting to work and also helps employers avoid employing unauthorized aliens.

The E-Verify federal contractor rule extends use of the E-Verify system to covered federal contractors and subcontractors, including those who receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. Applicable federal contracts awarded and solicitations issued after Sept. 8 will include a clause committing government contractors to use E-Verify.

Companies awarded a contract with the E-Verify clause after Sept. 8 will be required to enroll in E-Verify within 30 days of the contract award date. E-Verify must be used to confirm that all new hires, whether employed on a federal contract or not, and existing employees directly working on these contracts are legally authorized to work in the United States.

More than 145,000 participating employers at nearly 550,000 worksites nationwide currently use E-Verify to electronically verify their workers’ employment eligibility.

Since Oct. 1, 2008, more than 7.6 million employment verification queries have been run through the system and approximately 97 percent of all queries are now automatically confirmed as work-authorized within 24 hours or less.

More information on the program is available on the EVerify Web site at www.dhs.gov/e-verify. E-Verify customer support is also available by calling toll free (888) 464-4218.

ith the opening of the Central Place Parking Garage, patrons frequenting downtown San Jose will be able to choose from approximately 8,000 public parking spaces. The San Jose Redevelopment Agency and Wilson Meany Sullivan, CIM Group and Stockbridge Capital collaborated to construct the 140,000 square-foot garage as part of Phase One of The 88, a luxury residential condominium project in the heart of Downtown San Jose. The structure is located on San Fernando street between 2nd and 3rd street.

“Parking matters because businesses in downtown San Jose depend on it,” said Sam Liccardo, Councilmember for District 3. “People need to be able to find parking and it needs to be dispersed in the downtown area.”

The new facility offers a state-of-the-art access control system, security camera and advance emergency telephone system. It will participate in Downtown Retail and Cinema Validation programs and also provide direct, easy access to The Market

by Safeway, a new urban grocery concept.

The parking garage is part of the “Parking Plus” strategy, which adds public parking to newly developed private projects, allowing for incremental parking spaces to be added throughout the downtown.

“This project is unique and will work well for many years to come,” said Harry S. Mavrogenes,

Executive Director for the San Jose Redevelopment Agency.

The San Jose Redevelopment Agency invested $12.5 million towards the development of the Central Place Parking Garage project. For the last six years, the Agency has invested more than $70 million to build three public parking garages, which adds over 1,100 parking spaces to the Downtown San Jose area.

“This parking structure is a very important element and is the most aggressive plan adapted by the city of San Jose regarding parking spaces for the downtown area,” said Elizabeth Monley, Chair of

the Downtown Parking Board. “The Central Place garage will cost and will be operated the same way that similar parking structures in downtown San Jose operate.”

To date, the San Jose Redevelopment Agency has invested nearly $2 billion to revitalize Downtown San Jose. For more information about the Redevelopment Agency, visit www.sjredevelopment.org.

Parking information is available at www.sjdowntownparking.com.

“The Market” is Open

By Osvaldo Castillo - El Observador

D

owntown San Jose is going through a revitalization phase.

New resturants and businesses are opening up everywhere and additional parking is being constructed to accommodate. The newest addition of attractions to downtown San Jose is “The Market” by Safeway. It is a 24,000 square foot concept store that offers specialty departments, ready to eat meals as well as full-service grocery items designed for busy families and professionals.

“We are here because we want to provide people with a quick, simple and refreshingly meal,” said John Obrey, Safeway Northern California Division Regional Operations Manager. “We are committed to the revitalization of downtown San Jose and are confident that we will all succeed.”

The store officially open on Thursday, August 27, and several downtown residents and elected officials, including Mayor Chuck Reed were present at the ceremony.

“This is a great collaboration between the redevelopment agency and the private sector,” Reed said. “All the Councilmembers and myself are commit to the prosperity of downtown and we all want to see Safeway succeed in this area.”

The mayor also said that he is also looking forward to shopping at the store but said he could not promise to be a regular.

“I know where everything is at the Safeway by my house,” Reed joked.

District 3 Councilmember Sam Liccardo was also present at the ceremony.

“Local residents have been asking for a super market in downtown San Jose for a while now,’ Liccardo said. “So this is much more than opening a place to get something quick to eat.”

Councilmembers Nora Campos, Pierluigi Olivario, Rose Herrera, Sam Liccardo, Mayor Chuck Reed and local residents celebrate the opening of “The Market”.

Safeway is also committed to using the latest in a number of environmentally friendly attributes - such as the use of wind energy and energy efficient lighting and refrigeration. “The Market” promotes recycling and environmental safety.

The Market by Safeway is also actively involved in programs benefiting the communities it serves by creating The Safeway Foundation,

which gives back to the community and local charities.

“The Market” is located at 100 S. 2nd Street, San Jose, CA 95113 Store Phone: 408-292-4010 Store Hours: Open Daily 6:00AM11:00PM Parking is free for up to 2 hours with validation.

According to the stars “Zelaya will not be back in power”

By Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador

T

here seems to be a lot of confusion among the Honduran people due to the political crises that is present in the country. Honduras has always stood out as being a peaceful country. Astrologically, it is ruled by the sign of Virgo, a sign that has been feeling the effects of the transit of implacable Saturn, the planet of Karma, which will move on to the constellation of Libra beginning October 30th of the present year. It is due to this movement that there have been a lot of crises in the Central American country in the last couple of years. A country that will have a new governor before 2009 comes to an end. Mr. Manuel Zelaya should abdicate his intent to come back to power, he has to realize that “there is an overwhelming majority against him in his country;” even his own political party has turned its back on him! If he really loves his country he must desist and accept that his constitutional destitution was the result of his enormous mistake.

Mr. Zelaya will not be back in power, his return would create a chaos that could lead to a civil war.

Mr. Zelaya, act like a real patriot and accept your loss and let your people elect their new president democratically. Your attitude is hurting your country. Honduras deserves to have peace and democracy.

Según los astros “Zelaya no volverá al poder”

E

xiste mucha confusión en el pueblo hondureño debido a la crisis política que se vive actualmente, Honduras siempre se ha distinguido por ser un país pacífico. Astrológicamente está regido por el signo Virgo, signo que ha venido sintiendo los efectos del tránsito del implacable Saturno el planeta del karma, planeta que se moverá a la constelación de Libra a partir del día 30 de octubre del presente año. Por ello se ha vivido tanta crisis en este país centro ame ricano en los últimos dos años, país que tendrá un nuevo gobernante antes que finalice el 2009. El Señor Manuel Zelaya debe abdicar a su intento de volver al poder, tiene que darse cuenta que “tiene en contra una abrumadora mayoría en su país”, incluso ¡su propio partido político le ha dado la espalda! Si él, en realidad ama a su patria debe desistir y aceptar que su destitución constitucional fue el resultado de sus errores garrafales.

El Sr. Zelaya no volverá al poder, su retorno crearía un caos que podría desembocar en una guerra civil. Señor Zelaya actúe como un verdadero patriota, acepte que ha perdido y permita que su pueblo elija democráticamente a un nuevo gobernante. Su actitud esta dañando a su patria. Honduras merece vivir en paz y democracia.

“Muy grande para fracasar”

Pocos se solidarizaron con Honduras

“Muy grande para fracasar” fue el nombre de la obra de la teatro a cargo de Mime Troupe de San Francisco.

Después de muchos años visitaron San José e hicieron una representación al aire libre. Los Mime Troupe de San Francisco presentaron una comedia musical acerca de un pueblo africano, tambaleándose bajo el hechizo de crédito y el esfuerzo de un hombre para recuperar su futuro de la malvada bruja de la calle.

El Mime Troupe de San Francisco fundada en 1959 crea y produce teatro socialmente relevantes, su trabajo es la sátira política. El evento fue auspiciado por la Fundación Collins y el San Jose Peace & Justice Center.

U

n pequeño grupo de protestantes de la ciudad de San José que se opone a la represión que según ellos se vive en Honduras salió a protestar el pasado 27 de agosto en las esquinas de Story y King Rd . Critican al nuevo gobierno y quieren que repongan a Zelaya.

Un programa que asegura el éxito

El pastel es inflatable en esta celebración.

Juvenal Chávez a lado de Héctor Gomez y David Loving Presidente Regional de Univision14 .

Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

E

l programa “Éxito Escolar” a cargo de Univisión 14 aunque suene repe titivo sigue teniendo éxito. Este año 55 estudiantes fueron los beneficiados para continuar con sus estudios. La dura tarea de todos los años en seleccionar no es nada fácil y conseguir los fondos en tiempos de crisis tampoco.

Pero corporaciones como KFC y Mi Pueblo se unen para colaborar y completar el dinero para

que todos los estudiantes reciban un estímulo.

El pueblo donó Una peculiar idea que se puso en marcha por tres semanas fue la que tiendas Mi Pueblo hizo en cada uno de sus locales. Gracias a la contribución de la gente el monto llegó hasta los 40 mil dólares. “Muchas gracias a mi pueblo” dice Juvenal Chavez.

Chavez dijo que cuando era joven no pudo realizar estudios superiores sin embargo su trabajo y perseverancia lo llevó a ser un hombre éxitoso en negocios. “No solo hay que cuidar los negocios, debemos tener responsabilidad para hacer de la educación una herramienta importante para los jóvenes que aspiran a convertirse en profesionales y en el futuro del país. En pocos años la población de California será integrada por latinos”, dijo el propietario de 13 tiendas Mi Pueblo.

Por su parte Héctor Gomez, Gerente Regional de KFC dijo que ellos se unieron desde que se presentó por primera vez este proyecto.

“Es importante que grandes corporaciones apoyen a estudiantes que carecen de dinero”.

Mi Puebló dóno $25 mil dólares, KFC $25 mil dólares y el pueblo $40 mil en total fueron $90 mil dólares que se distribuyeron entre los 55 estudiantes latinos.

Festival More than Music and Fun: why San Jose Latinos should participate

By Gil Villagrán, MSW - El Observador

O

f course the festival brings great Mexican music to San Jose, enjoyable to anyone who has heard our music, and knows and appreciates our rich cul-

ture. Indeed our celebration of life is through song and dance. However, in this time of hope and expectations for a greater cross-cultural human understanding, there is an ominous growing anger and resentment toward our gente Latina, our cultura Mexicana, and our immigrant compañeros.

Though we elected Barack Obama, who in turn successfully nominated Sonia Sotomayor, our first Latina Supreme Court justice, America is no more post-racial, no more beyond racism and injustice than it was last year or much further along since Cesar Chavez first began La Lucha for farmworkers. Lou Dobbs still rants daily on CNN about “illegal aliens” invading our nation, prisons are still filled with Latinos, many who as children were denied a quality education, and Latino homeowners are being foreclosed at higher rates than non-Latinos. In San Jose, 56% of those arrested for public inebriation are Latino-most based on officer discretion, rather than a breathalyzer test. Also, hundreds of Latino drivers without a license have had their vehicles confiscated.

All is not well for Latinos in San Jose, in California, or our nation. This Festival is an opportunity to showcase our musica, danza, cultura, y comunidad. Latinos should attend to enjoy their culture, share it with their families, friends, and neighbors. Attend and support our beautiful Mexican Heritage Bella Artes Plaza.

Estudiantes felices por recibir becas que le van a permitir estudiar y pagar gastos escolares.

Tech Laureates Announced most pressing challenges.

“These Laureates that we are honoring have found ways to bring energy to people all over the world and make their lives better in areas such as health and economics,” said Peter Friess, President of The Tech Museum.

The Tech Awards: Technology Benefiting Humanity is one of the premier annual humanitarian awards programs in the world. It recognizes technical solutions that address the most critical issues facing our planet and its people. The program honors 15 global innovators (Laureates) who are applying technology to benefit humanity in five universal categories: Economic Development, Education, Equality, Health and the environment.

“We are excited about what has being done with solar technology,” Friess said. “The world’s energy supply will be extended with this technology.”

One of the Laureates that were recognized was GRUPEDSAC (Grupo para Promover la Educación y el Desarrollo Sustentable) from Mexico. The company provides customizable eco-techniques toolkits for self-sufficiency. It combines old and new sustainable technologiesfrom cisterns to solar ovens-to fit the needs of each community.

Aside from recognizing the Laureates for their work, the awards ceremony will also focus on raising awareness on issues such as poverty,

antiago, (Notimex).- La ex Miss Universo chilena Cecilia Bolocco estudia una oferta para postular al Senado, misma que le habría formulado el derechista partido Unión Demócrata Independiente (UDI), aseveraron medios locales. Programas de televisión dedicados a la farándula informaron este miércoles que Bolocco, coronada como Miss Universo en 1987, deberá responder en las próxi mas horas a una propuesta para postular a senadora por una circunscripción de la sureña región de La Araucanía. Los comentaristas citaron al diario “Austral”, de la ciudad de Temuco, a 670 kilómetros al sur de Santiago, según el cual la divorciada esposa del ex presidente argentino Carlos Menem sería la compañera de lista del actual senador Alberto Espina. La fórmula, según la publicación, sería que Bolocco postulara como independiente, apoyada por la UDI, en el pacto de la centroderechista Alianza por el Cambio, que integra además el partido Renovación Nacional y en el cual milita el senador Espina

Tapestry Arts Sets To Open On Several Sweet Notes

S

an Jose, California - With a very comfortable weather forecast on hand, Tapestry Arts 2009 is set to bring three days of live music, excellent food, interesting handmade art, and a great deal more to downtown San Jose and Plaza Park this Labor Day Weekend. The live music stages present everything from The Garage Band, Wally’s Swing World, Cocktail Monkeys and Nitecry, to classical guitar. This year Jamie O’Neal takes to the Country Stage on Saturday at 2:15 PM. A complete entertainment lineup is available on line at www.tapestryarts.org.

The 2009 Tapestry Arts Festival runs Labor Day Weekend, September 5-7, with hours on Saturday 10-6, Sunday 10-6 and Monday 10-5.

Sleep Dealer en DVD Por Martín del Palacio na nueva joyita del cine latino estará disponible en DVD en todas las tiendas a partir del 8 de septiembre como parte de la campaña de Maya Entertainment, la compañía fundada por el legendario productor Moctezuma Esparza, por darle un lugar al cine realizado por y para hispanos en el competitivo mercado cinematográfico de Estados Unidos. Se trata de “Sleep Dealer”, el filme que marca el debut de Alex Rivera como prometedor director de largometrajes, y que fue una de las grandes sensaciones en el Festival de Cine de Sundance del año pasado. De allí se llevó dos premios, el Waldo Salt al Mejor Guión y el Alfred P. Sloan al Mejor Filme Relacionado con la Ciencia. Estrenada en los cines de todo el país, “Sleep Dealer”

U

recibió excelentes críticas de medios tan prestigiosos como el Los Angeles Times, Variety y el New York Times y además obtuvo una seguidilla de prestigiosos premios, como el de Amnesty en el Festival de Berlín y una nominación al Independent Spirit.

Protagonizada por el ascendente Luis Fernando Peña (“Desierto Adentro”, “Sin Nombre”,”Crónicas Chilangas”), quien interpreta a Memo, el filme combina con astucia la ciencia-ficción de bajo presupuesto con el comentario social, tocando temas tan vigentes como la inmigración, el control de los recursos naturales y las maquiladoras.

“Sleep Dealer” es en español con subtítulos en inglés. El filme tendrá un precio de venta de $ 19.98 en DVD y $ 24.98 en blu-ray.

“Ni con otro corazón”: Llora Pedro Fernández

Takes the Stage

By Cinthia Rodriguez - El Observador

A

s we remember the impact that Woodstock had on a whole generation, a recent opportunity of the same importance was taken by Mexican rock band Panda.

Panda is from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and is made up by four band members. They have begun their 2009 tour and performed at the Fillmore in San Francisco on Wednesday, August 19, a venue where the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, and Janis Joplin once played.

This was the first time Panda performed in the Bay Area and more importantly, in the United States.

Their first album entitled “Arroz con Leche,” wasn’t quite eaten up by the fans. But their second album “La Revancha del Principe Charro,” produced classics like “Hola,” and “Ya no Jalaba.”

“I like all their songs because they all have a different story,” said concert attendee Antonio Valdez. “Sometimes their music is depressing because they talk about hate, but then they have a romantic side to them and even funny songs.”

Division Minuscula started off the concert. They just released their third album “Sirenas” and gave their fans a chance to greet them after their performance.

As soon as Panda was on stage, the screaming and sighs of amazement from the crowd filled the room. It was almost impossible to let your friend know how you felt about any song. The energy was off the charts going back and forth between Panda and the fans.

“They are not the typical rock band...some may categorize it as emo music in Spanish but they certainly have proven themselves,” said Melody Valencia, 90.5 KSJS Music Director of Alternativo en Español.

This rock band has been together for 15 years. Their lead guitarist joined the band four years ago and has been able to experience success on a whole new level.

The music of Panda has touched thousands of lives, varying from teenagers to young adults and continues to do so today.

Panda’s “Para ti con Desprecio,” really hit a nerve in the listeners’ ears and paved the way for success in Mexico, the US, and other places of the hemisphere.

“It was amazing to see hundreds of kids lined up last night outside the Wiltern in LA to see Panda,” said Ric Fazekas of Rikkyroc Promociones.

The band will be performing in New York, Chicago, Houston, and other cities across the nation.

Their latest album “Poetics,” a double CD will be in stores and on online sometime in September. The movement shall continue.

oodland Hills, Ca, , 2009—Des pués del éxito obtenido con “Dime mi amor” Pedro Fernández nos presenta hoy su nuevo sencillo “Ni con otro corazón”, tema que se desprende de su anticipada producción titulada “Amarte a la antigua” misma que sale a la venta el 20 de Octubre.

“Ni con otro corazón”, fue lanzado hoy a todas la emisoras a nivel nacional, y seguramente rápido alcanzará los primeros lugares de popularidad como sus éxitos anteriores. Esta canción que la temática es el desamor se grabó con banda y fue producido por La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, junto a otras dos canciones que vienen incluidas en el álbum.

“Hasta que el dinero nos separe”, teleno vela que ya se transmite exitosamente en Mexi co y que próximamente se estrenará en Estados Unidos, marca también el regreso de Pedro Fernández a la televisión en el papel protagónico. Acompañado de la bella actriz Itati Cantoral, harán de ésta telenovela una de las favoritas del público mexicano en Estados Unidos.

Con más de 19 millones de copias vendidas, Pedro

Fernández presenta su disco número 38, con el que continuará festejando sus 30 años de trayectoria artística.

Pedro Fernández, es sin duda alguna una de las figuras más queridas de todos los tiempos tanto en televisión como en el ámbito musical.
