SOME ISSUES CONCERNING EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES (K-12)

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR Realistically, public education begins in the home because the ideal family unit (father, mother, children living in a single-family apartment or dwelling) is the basic social unit which makes up all communities. Recall that today both parents need jobs because of the very high living costs, especially in Silicon Valley.

My grandson is one of several science teachers at a high school.

At age 27, he is their youngest tenured faculty whose presence reminds the others that their school's science curriculum needs to become current by including the latest approved course content in biology, chemistry and physics. Math is already required by the CA Administrative Code and proficiency in algebra is a recognized indicator of future academic potential.

During a family dinner discussion, Robert said, “I worry about my students, especially those Latinos (and other students of color) because they will experience a future with a lower standard of living without some expertise in science and technology... especially here in San Francisco Bay Area. Already many simple jobs are being done by robots; computer skills are essential; along with electronic communication skills. An ability to deal with data bases is a good thing to have and being able to use. Without that matrix of skills, they cannot become 'knowledge workers’. Only one in ten will have

future employment. No one is discussing the public policies needed to deal with these issues now. The other science teachers are almost retired. One in particular has not kept up with scientific progress in biology, chemistry and physics.

That dude needs to be relocated by that school's administration, but the administration does not want to deal with the California Teachers Association union contract.

Isn't that what responsible school administrators do? (To ensure teachers are capable instructors who are actually teaching the required core curriculum.)

I am really proud of my grandson because, as a teacher, he noticed that certain students (of low income families) were arriving hungry to his first period class.

After a little due diligence effort (i.e., asking for more information in a sensitive manner), he organized a 'Sandwich Club' in his classroom. Kids with generous allowances brought the sandwich makings and snacks to that class. He related their efforts to teaching about nutrition: calorie counts & data bases, vitamins, essential cofactors (iron, zinc, magnesium), enzymatic digestion and absorption process...with the outcome that those students shared food, became closer by talking about nutrition.

He even planned and conducted a field trip to a local grocery store to price many foods (canned goods, meats, vegetables); read & record each package's nutrition information to form data bases which were analyzed and discussed.

Most importantly, he taught them the scientific methods of 'observed information' collection (raw data), its analysis, the formation of hypothesis, testing those; and then stating their findings

concisely.

All done in an environment they were already familiar and comfortable in. They began to learn with greater interest and effectiveness. In addition, he has introduced hands-on laboratory experiments because, as he puts it, 'many of my students learn with their hands'...what they do with their hands goes up to their brains! Their academic performance indicator levels improved and the other teachers 'resented being upstaged'.

Now the reason I am telling you these anecdotes is because too often parents do not get involved in their local school's Parent-Teacher-A ssociation (PTA). My recommendation is that parents attend at least two PTA meetings; ask for and read the schools’ 'Student Manual' and learn to ask questions which cannot be answered by a simple 'yes or no' reply. For example: Ask a teacher 'Tell me about the information content of your biology class? (rather than “Do you teach a biology class?”)

Another elementary school teacher (my godchild) emphasizes reading skills and vocabulary.

Why? Her students can add to their vocabulary and obtain information on their own from source materials. She encouraged me to actively participated in reading skills program for the past 27 years as a member of Los Amigos de Washington Elementary School (SJUSD).

This Rotary Club of San Jose committee has introduced many programs (computer skills, digital divide programs, career fairs, field trips, etc.) and advocated for the RotaCare Clinic which provides free medical care to local

uninsured and impoverished folks. Several field trips are scheduled each year (Mock trial at Superior Court; Tech Museum; City Council meeting; the local zoo; Computer History Museum, Mt. View, etc.) ...Why do this?

Simply because some kids learn visually and become curious and interested in what they see...so it is very good to have them travel to see things outside their community. Many of these field trips need adult-parent chaperones so consider volunteering (just go on a field trip on a topic in which you have an interest).

Attend at least three local school board meetings per year. Today, Alum Rock Elementary Union School District (AREUSD) and all other schools have passed several bond issues to upgrade teaching facilities and seismic safety issues. Were established contract procedures followed?

Insist that these bond issues contain provisions for a 'Citizens Monitoring Commission' which ensures full transparency about how those bond funds are used.

Become interested in your local School Board meetings where budgets are formed, staffing is approved.

Do your teachers get teaching assistants? Are Student Teacher's from local colleges allowed? Does the School District have and operate a non-profit foundation?

Are their reports posted on their websites? Plan to attend at least three meetings per year prepared to ask questions about an item of interest to you personally.

Remember that you are a STAKEHOLDER because your sales taxes and property taxes end up funding local education.

Ask about the impact of Charter

Schools which are supported by local educational funds. Washington Elementary School's budget was reduced 45% because of the large number of charter schools whose location are in that school's area.

The outcome is a reduction in that public school’s faculty and its programs. Who monitors the charter school’s effectiveness? My observation is that some charter schools skim off the best students some of whom are 'released and returned' to the local public school which has to take them back. Consider that a school district's funding is based upon its 'average daily attendance' so when Charter Schools take too many students from a particular school, its funding level is reduced resulting in reduced instructional programming.

If you as a parent do not take some active participatory interest, then an important check & balance of power & authority will be missing. The most direct way to know what is going on at any local school which your child attends is to: a) talk to your own kid...

Years ago I learned my daughter Mary was transferred to a 'special education class' simply because she had a Hispanic surname and a slight speech lisp. I personally objected; she was returned to her 'regular class'...which later proved to be very essential in meeting college entry requirements. b) once every three months or so, read the minutes of the school board meeting, PTA; and the school's non-profit foundation.

IT IS YOUR KID WHO WILL BE SHORT CHANGED without your personal monitoring and 'push-back comments'. These are SOME ISSUES CONCERNING EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES (K-12).

UN MODELO DE PROFESIÓN Por Angélica Millán Especial para La Red Hispana

Cuando se habla de las profesiones de mayor demanda en los Estados Unidos, con frecuencia se piensa en el “boom” tecnológico de Silicon Valley y en las llamadas carreras STEM, es decir, en aquellas profesiones relacionadas con la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería y las matemáticas, donde los nuevos talentos son reclutados de inmediato por las empresas más innovadoras del país.

Pero en ocasiones se ignora que una de las carreras de mayor demanda actual, no solo tiene fuertes raíces en la ciencia y las matemáticas, sino también en una de las divisas más nobles para la sociedad: una

profunda vocación de servicio público, en especial para brindar cuidado y asistencia a los más necesitados: los enfermos y los vulnerables. Estoy hablando, por supuesto, de la enfermería.

Solo para este año más de 580,000 empleos estarán disponibles en muchos de los variados campos que abarca la enfermería: pediátrica, geriátrica o psiquiátrica, con salarios que van desde los 80,000 dólares para una practicante, hasta más de 125,000 dólares al año para una enfermera anestesista certificada.

Sin embargo, las enfermeras o enfermeros hispanos representamos apenas del 3.6% del total. Es una triste paradoja que los latinos tengamos desde hace años tasas de desempleo más altas que el promedio

nacional y desaprovechemos seguir el camino de carreras de alta demanda y valor social como la enfermería.

En 2018 se cumplen precisamente cuatro años de una campaña de la Asociación Nacional de Enfermeras Hispanas (NAHN) para informar a las nuevas generaciones de latinos que consideren a la enfermería como una de las carreras más dignas, gratificantes y mejor remuneradas. Este año el énfasis de la campaña es la importancia del voluntariado, del acceso a becas, así como de cursar estudios en ciencias y matemáticas tanto como sea posible en la educación media.

Mi caso es un ejemplo viviente de cómo la enfermería tiene el potencial de cambiar una vida. Soy la primera mujer de mi

familia en graduarme de la Universidad.

Empecé como enfermera practicante hace más de 25 años, llegué a ser presidenta de NAHN, curso estudios de doctorado y tengo a mi cargo la supervisión del cuidado de salud de 50,000 niños como Director de enfermería en un programa para niños en Los Ángeles.

Pocas cosas me inspiran más que escuchar las historias de los estudiantes de enfermería, sean mujeres u hombres.

No sólo me recuerdan el esfuerzo y los sacrificios para salir adelante, sino también que tienen por delante un horizonte sin límites para alcanzar sus anhelos de éxito personal y profesional.

HOW LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES LEADS TO HIGH SCHOOL SUCCESS Three local teens share how they became confident in learning and life honesty, and showed their own vulnerability.

It created a trust and respect with the students that grew even stronger over time.

earning a few free days—an accomplishment that celebrated the hard work of everyone involved.

Overcoming mental blocks

Embracing confidence

Even with trust, the students were unsure if they could successfully complete the challenges set out by the coaches throughout their time in the program. Coaches assured the students that they could physically do everything asked – and that if they weren’t successful, it was a mental block, explained Lugo.

What had started for many students as a class that pushed students physically and mentally, turned out to build confidence in the three young women.

Valenzuela struggled with this idea at first, “How can I hold myself back mentally?”

Working with the coaches, this idea began to make sense. Penaloza explained, “You learn, if you really want something, you have to work for it.” That lesson was reinforced time and again in challenges ranging from running the mile to managing a class of fifth grade students.

Heather Murtagh Special to El Observador

Helping to prepare a child for life-long success requires a variety of support.

Academic opportunities are important, but they aren’t the only kind of support youth need. Around 90 percent of lowerincome first-generation college students don’t graduate within six years, far below the national average for college completion.

There is promising research that providing mentoring and emotional support increases student persistence in higher education.

Researchers also find that helping students build these social-emotional skills earlier will result in academic, professional and personal success.

Students at Alpha Public Schools, whose students are nearly 80 percent Hispanic, spend their middle school years becoming a leader on the blacktop through Personalized Leadership Training (PLT). By providing students the opportunities to build teams, work together, and lead in a meaningful way, Alpha has watched middle school students go from following others down the wrong path to leading their peers toward success.

The multi-year program—which brings together physical activity and socialemotional learning—in East San José has become an opportunity to emphasize realworld leadership habits and provide students a safe environment in which to practice and hone those skills.

The school network’s current freshmen were the first to complete the full threeyear program going from participants to

the eventual leaders last fall. Among these students are 14-year-olds Yami Penaloza and Tyena Lugo as well as 15-year-old Iris Valenzuela. The young women recently reflected on their experience with PLT and shared how it prepared them for success in high school.

Relationships matter The idea of spending time shadow boxing and working on mastering push-ups or running the mile wasn’t appealing to the young women in middle school. In fact, they admitted to hating the idea. They weren’t confident they could improve their mile time, nor were they truly interested in doing so. It was their PLT coaches who showed them that overcoming these types of physical and mental challenges was worthwhile – largely through leading by example.

“They would push us but go through it with us,” said Lugo, who transferred to Alpha in seventh grade.

Valenzuela agreed, adding she appreciated that they were going through it together.

These challenges were opportunities. Head PLT Coach Jeff Quinlan would share stories with the students of his own struggles. The life lessons would be inspirational but also motivating. Success isn’t achieved on your first try. It takes time. It will include setbacks.

But it’s how a person decides to proceed that’s important.

“Students respected the coaches. They aren’t expecting you to get it right. They are expecting you to try,” said Valenzuela.

For the three students, it is the coaches who make the program successful. These are adults who treated them as adults, expected

Penaloza and Lugo were leaders in eighth grade, meaning they helped to lead the classes with the younger students. It was overwhelming at times. The younger students didn’t always listen. The older students hadn’t built up the trust of the younger students.

They weren’t working as a team. Through the struggle, the eighth-grade leaders were able to see how important the role of the coaches was. They huddled to create a game plan and, with the help of the coaches, were able to get things on track. In fact, the students ended the year having finished the curriculum and even

Lugo, for example, was a bit of a troublemaker before she started at Alpha. She certainly did not see herself as a leader, nor an example.

Today, she’s an ambassador for the school network. She’s realized the respect she gives others is often reciprocated leading to less talking and more listening in class. For her, the experience was less about the physical challenges themselves and more about learning long-term lessons for how to manage day-to-day life.

Penaloza agreed. Previously, she was a student who would not take on big roles, but has found herself speaking up and recognizing that any goal takes work. In PLT they shared the reality of life but would also work through challenges and problems openly, constructively and recognize growth—tools she found helpful.

For Valenzuela the experience helped her care less about the opinions of others and focus more on being true to herself.

“I became more confident, and I thank the coaches for that,” she said. “The workouts, I hated. But, the lessons I love. And I wouldn’t change anything.”

LIVE LIFE WELL: KEEPING YOUR RESOLUTIONS IN 2018

JANUARY 12 - 18, 2018

NAPS

in three months. That way, you have something to strive toward and measure against.

The New Year is a wonderful time to not only evaluate your past, but also explore your goals for the year ahead. While it is common that health and fitness resolutions land at the top of people’s list, the truth is that achieving any goal in 2018 is dependent upon good health. Whether planning that bucket list vacation, trying a new hobby or spending more time outdoors, a healthy fitness routine is the backbone of making these goals achievable.

This year, create an attainable health and fitness goal to help you reach all your resolutions.

SilverSneakers, the nation’s leading fitness community for older adults, offers the following tips on how to make resolutions that will help you live life well in 2018:

Next year could be better than ever if you resolve to follow five ideas. Photo Credit: NAPS

1. Set a SMART goal: SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Action Oriented, Realistic and Time Bound. “Losing weight” is not a specific measurable goal; instead, say you want to lose 10 pounds

2. Start small: If you only focus on an ambitious long-term goal, you may be setting yourself up for failure. It is important to set weekly milestones that allow you to see progress and achieve success early and often.

3. Bring a friend: Knowing that you promised a friend you would join her for that 6 a.m. class keeps you accountable for showing up and doing your best. Having a friend to work out with also makes the experience more enjoyable.

4. Track progress: As you work toward your goals, make sure to track your activities and the progress you make along the way. Whether it be pounds lost or miles ran, it will be encouraging to see where you started and where you are now.

5. Celebrate success: Each milestone toward the end goal should be celebrated.

Completing your resolution won’t happen overnight and the journey should be an exciting time as you work toward a healthier you.

Ayuda económica atrae a las personas a Covered California Los precios más bajos son el resultado de más ayuda económica disponible para los consumidores que califican para recibir asistencia.

Yurina Melara Covered California

El autobús de Covered California visitó la zona de la Bahía de San Francisco para promover el período de inscripción abierta, el cual termina el 31 de enero.

Cuando la señora Daisy Intriago, 58 años, estaba en el proceso de divorcio, se quedó sin la cobertura médica del trabajo de su ex marido, Daisy compró una póliza directamente con una compañía aseguradora. Su cuota mensual en el 2017 fue de $630.

Recientemente Daisy se enteró que con Covered California ella podría calificar para ayuda financiera del gobierno federal si obtenía su cobertura a través de esta agencia estatal. Ella acudió a uno de los miles agentes certificados a nivel estatal que le ayudaron a llenar la solicitud y a partir de enero del 2018, su pago es de $180 al mes.

“Me quedé impresionada de cuanto voy a pagar el próximo

año. Jamás me imaginé que la cuota me bajaría tanto. Me emocioné mucho cuando me mostraron mis opciones, y me di cuenta que podría mantener el mismo plan que antes, pero pagando mucho menos,” dijo Daisy.

Un nuevo análisis de Covered California encontró que el precio neto promedio para los planes seleccionados por los consumidores nuevos o quienes renovaron sus planes para el 2018 es de $120 por mes, por debajo de $134 durante este mismo período el año pasado. Y, para aquellos que seleccionaron un plan bronce, el costo promedio para 2018 es de sólo $45 por mes, en comparación con $87 en el 2017.

Los precios más bajos son el resultado de más ayuda financiera disponible para los consumidores que califican

para recibir asistencia.

“Los consumidores están haciendo compras inteligentes y descubriendo que este año hay muchas buenas opciones que están dentro de su alcance,” dijo Peter V. Lee, director ejecutivo de Covered California.

Gracias a estos programas — Medi-Cal y Covered California — la tasa de personas sin seguro médico en el estado es la más baja registrada en la historia.

Las personas interesadas en aprender más sobre sus opciones de cobertura de salud pueden visitar la página web www.CoveredCA.com o llamar al centro de servicio al cliente en español al 1-800-300-0213.

En este centro se llevarán a cabo todos los procesos de admisión, asistencia financiera, asesoramiento y eventos especiales, como los eventos con oradores motivacionales, en una sola ubicación central. ¡Hace poco Mission College le dio la bienvenida al astronauta de la NASA, Jose Hernandez! La familia de Jose trabajaba en los campos agrícolas del Valle Central y él no habló inglés hasta que cumplió los 12 años. Él atribuye su éxito a dos programas nacionales: TRIO y MESA, los cuales lo ayudaron a que progresara en sus objetivos educativos. Y para suerte de todos los estudiantes de esta institución, ambos programas también se encuentran disponibles en Mission College.

¡Otra increíble oportunidad disponible para los estudiantes es el programa Puente! Este programa se encuentra abierto para todas las nacionalidades y permite que los estudiantes latinos tomen clases juntos, forjen amistades y encuentren apoyo en compañeros con objetivos educativos similares.

Para algunos estudiantes, tu historia podría ser similar a la de Rosa Sosa, una estudiante transferida, quien viajó de México a los EE. UU. con una visa F1 para asistir a la escuela. Con la ayuda de sus compañeros y consejeros, aprendió inglés, obtuvo un diploma de Mission College, una licenciatura de la Universidad Estatal de San José y un máster.

Por ejemplo, ¿quien tomaría decisiones por su salud o se encargará de sus asuntos financieros en caso que se queda incapacitado? Además, ¿quien recibirá sus bienes después de su muerte? Comprensiblemente, estas preguntas y decisiones pueden ser incomodas, pero sin planificación anticipada, el proceso de administración será más oneroso y difícil

Santa Clara County, CA. With widespread flu activity in Santa Clara County, the Public Health Department announced the death of fifth Santa Clara County resident associated with influenza virus infection. The individual was under the age of 65 years and all five deceased residents had not been vaccinated.

Today, along with the Emergency Medical Services Agency and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC), the Public Health Department recommended that residents who are not seriously ill stay home, drink fluids, and take medicine for fever. People should monitor their own symptoms and if they are getting worse, contact their medical provider. The Public Health Department also recommends that all individuals six months of age and older, including pregnant women, be vaccinated against influenza.

“The influenza vaccination is the best way to protect your family from complications of influenza,” stated Dr. George Han, Assistant Health Officer, Santa Clara County. “It’s not too late to get vaccinated. Even if the vaccine does not prevent you from getting the flu, it will make it less likely for you to be seriously ill and require hospitalization.”

People at risk for complications from the flu have chronic conditions, are pregnant, or are very young and very old. If these people are seriously ill with the flu they should contact their medical provider.

“For the vast majority of us who are not in a risk group, we will get better,” said Dr. Jeffery Leinen, Medical Director, SCVMC Emergency Department. “If you’re sick, stay home and take care of yourself. But if you are seriously ill and at risk for complications from the flu, contact your medical provider because you may need additional treatment or hospital care.”

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s Emergency Department has seen an increase of patients who have been diagnosed with

the flu. In the first week of December 2017, only 5 patients were diagnosed as having an influenza virus. The numbers continued to increase and for the week of January 1-7, 40 patients were diagnosed with influenza.

“We see increased flu activity with the higher daily ambulance traffic to hospitals. Typically we have 220 emergency medical transports a day. In December 2017 there were 240 daily transports,” commented Dr. Kenneth Miller, Medical Director of the Emergency Medical Systems Agency. “And so far this year, January 1 to 10, 2018, we averaged 264 daily transports to local hospitals. That compares to an average of 253 daily transports for the same time period last year. Needless to say, emergency departments are extremely busy and wait times are long.”

1.

Mantener la compensación de los Directores en la cantidad corriente de $273.03 por día, hasta diez días por mes;

2.

Reducir la compensación a los Directores a una cantidad específica bajo la tarifa corriente de $273.03 por día, hasta diez días por mes;

3.

Aprobar un aumento de compensación a los Directores de acuerdo a la Sección de Códigos 20200-20207 de Agua de California.

Se harán esfuerzos razonables para acomodar a personas con discapacidades que deseen atender esta audiencia pública. Para pedidos de acomodación por discapacidad, arreglar servicions de interprete, u obtener más información sobre cómo atender esta audiencia, por favor contacte a la Oficina de la Secretaría de la Directiva al (630) 265-2277, por lo menos tres días antes de la audiencia.

12/2017 BA

Health officials recommend that people take the following additional steps to protect themselves and loved ones from the flu: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your elbow when you cough or sneeze.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, since hands may become contaminated with live influenza virus.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.

If soap and water are not available, an alcohol-based hand rub may be used.

• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

Stay at least 6 feet away from individuals who are visibly ill.

• If you are sick, stay home from work or school until you have been symptom-free for 24 hours. Going to work or school while ill may pass the disease onto someone who is at risk for serious complications.

El Caucus Nacional de Legisladores Estatales Hispanos critica decisión sobre salvadoreños que van a perder la protección del TPS".

National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL)

WASHINGTON, DC - El Caucus Nacional de Legisladores Estatales Hispanos (NHCSL, por sus siglas en inglés) hizo las siguientes declaraciones sobre la decisión del Departamento de Seguridad Interna federal (DHS) de dejar que se expire el Status de Protección Temporera (TPS, por sus siglas en inglés) para más de 200,000 salvadoreños, muchos de los cuales llevan trabajando legalmente en los Estados Unidos desde 2001. La decisión ha sido anunciada luego de que también se le revocara el TPS a los haitianos y nicaragüenses el año pasado. Reportajes de prensa indican que los hondureños que se benefician del programa pudieran ser los próximos en perder ese status migratorio.

El presidente de NHCSL, Ángel Cruz, quien es Representante Estatal de Pensilvania, dijo: "Es censurable separar a familias que llevan trabajando duro, siguiendo las reglas y pagando impuestos. El Gobierno de El Salvador mismo ha dicho que el país centroamericano no tiene la capacidad de aguantar la entrada repentina de 200,000 individuos. Todos conocemos además las condiciones peligrosas

de seguridad en América Central. La Administración tiene que entender que la mayoría de estos individuos tienen hijos que son ciudadanos estadounidenses y que quitarles el TPS a sus padres significa que estos niños estadounidenses o se tendrán que vivir en un orfanato o con un familiar, o se irán a un país que nunca han conocido".

La Delegada Estatal de Maryland, Ana Sol Gutiérrez, quien es de El Salvador, dijo: "¿Cómo es que está en nuestro interés nacional sacar del país a casi un cuarto de millón de personas que hacen que nuestras

National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL)

WASHINGTON, DC -- The National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL) issued the following statement on the US Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) decision to rescind the Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

of over 200,000 individuals from El Salvador, many who have been working legally in the US since 2001. This decision comes on the heels of a similar decision to allow TPS to expire for tens of thousands of Haitians and Nicaraguans. Reports indicate that Honduran beneficiaries of this program will also be targeted next.

NHCSL President and Pennsylvania State

comunidades sean más prósperas y que nuestra economía sea más vigorosa?

Deberíamos estar recompensando a estas almas valientes por sus esfuerzos en vez de castigarlos por seguir las reglas.

Como legisladores latinos, le hacemos un llamado al Congreso – de manera bipartidista – para crear un camino legal para la ciudadanía y aprobar una reforma migratoria integral para resolver esta situación de una vez y por todas. Además, mientras el Congreso considera arreglar la situación de los beneficiarios de DACA, también deberían incluir un camino a la residencia permanente para las personas Representative Ángel Cruz said: "It is reprehensible to separate families that have been working hard, playing by the rules and paying taxes. The Government of El Salvador has said that the Central American country is not equipped to receive a sudden inf lux of 200,000 individuals. We all know that the security conditions in Central America are also very dangerous. The Administration needs to understand that most of these legal immigrants have US citizen children and that rescinding TPS means that either these American kids will need to live in foster care or with relatives, or go to a country they don't even know."

Maryland State Delegate Ana Sol Gutiérrez, who is from El Salvador, said: "How is it in our national interest to mercilessly kick out almost a quarter of a million people who have made our communities more prosperous and our economy more vibrant? We should be rewarding these brave souls for their tireless efforts, instead of punishing them for playing by the rules. As Latino state legislators, we call on Congress – in a bipartisan basis – to create a legal path to citizenship and pass comprehensive immigration reform to solve this issue once and for all. As Congress

El Director Ejecutivo de NHCSL, Kenneth Romero, dijo lo siguiente: "La decisión del gobierno federal de rescindir el TPS para los inmigrantes salvadoreños protegidos va a tener el efecto de condenar a muchos de ellos a la miseria, si se regresan, o a la ilegalidad, si deciden quedarse para poder mantener a sus familias aquí en los Estados Unidos. Le solicitamos al Departamento de Seguridad Interna a que reconsidere esta decisión mal concebida y que le devuelvan el status de TPS a 200,000 salvadoreños que se han convertido en una parte integral de comunidades alrededor de la nación.

Separar familias y deportar a miembros productivos de la sociedad que siguen las leyes no debería ser una prioridad para las principales agencias de ley y orden de nuestro país".

NHCSL es la asociación principal de legisladores estatales hispanos que trabaja para diseñar e implementar políticas que mejoren la calidad de vida de los hispanos alrededor del país. NHCSL fue fundada en 1989 como una organización nopartidista y sin fines de lucro 501(c)3, con la misión de ser la voz más efectiva de los más de 390 legisladores hispanos.

considers a fix for DACA recipients, they should also include a path to permanent residency for TPS beneficiaries as well."

NHCSL Executive Director Kenneth Romero stated that: "The federal government's decision to rescind TPS for protected Salvadoran immigrants will have the effect of condemning many of them either to misery, if they go back, or illegality, if they stay in order to continue supporting their families here in the US. We urge DHS to reconsider this ill-timed decision and restore TPS protections for 200,000 Salvadorans who have become an integral part of communities across the nation. Separating families and kicking out productive, lawabiding members of society should not be the priority of our country's top law-enforcement agencies."

The NHCSL is the premier national association of Hispanic state legislators working to design and implement policies and procedures that will improve the quality of life for Hispanics throughout the country. NHCSL was founded in 1989 as a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)3 with the mission to be the most effective voice for the more than 390 Hispanic legislators. For more information visit www.nhcsl.org.

Other Orders Requested (specify): Please see attached declaration.

10. Facts to Support the orders I requested are listed below. The facts that I write in support and attach to this request cannot be longer than 10 pages, unless the court gives me permission.

Please see attached declaration. (attachment 10).

Rosa Munoz (Mariscal) (Signature of Applicant) In Re: MARISCAL Case No. 111FL157537 Attachment “10” DECLARATION OF ROSA MARISCAL-MUNOZ I, Declare: I am the Petitioner in the instant matter. I married

Respondent (Carlos) on June 23, 1986. We separated on or about midJune 2007. There were no children of the marriage.

I am submitting the is request for order to ask the court to exercise its jurisdiction over the single family dwelling known as 536 North Santa Ana Street, Los Banos, 95365.

(Los Banos) and adjudicate the parties respective interest in Los Banos as a missed asset under Family Code § 2556.

Both Carlos and I were born in Mexico. To make ends meet we both worked and tried to be careful with money. But despite our efforts at the time of separation we were in debt to the IRS for about $4,000 in addition to about $3,000 in consumer debt. Other than odd pieces of furniture and an old car there were NO community assets.

Carlos was convicted of child molestation in 2006 and spent about six months at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas. Upon his release, Carlos deported back to Mexico. In our culture child molestation is the most detested of behaviors, so it is no surprise that I have had NO contact from Carlos since he was deported 10 years ago. I would not be surprised if he left Mexico and/or changed his name, as his association with child molestation puts not only himself but his family members at some risk.

In 2011, I purchased Los Banos. As I was still legally married my status was noted on the title. To purchase No. Santa Ana I needed a $10,000 down payment. I had accumulated $3,000 in savings over the prior 5 years and a cousin lent/gave me the $7,000 balance.

I initially filed for dissolution on March 3, 2011. I was then unaware of service by

publication and attempted to locate Carlos in order to serve him. I contacted the Mexican immigration authorities to see if they could provide some assistance. That proved most unproductive. I became discouraged.

When I tried to restart the matter in 2012. I was informed I had waited too long and would have to refile. I did so March 23, 2012.

I then employed a paralegal service to help me.

I informed the service I owned Los Banos, but was told since Carlos and I were separated when I purchased it, I didn’t have to and didn’t reference the property on any of the documents. The Judgment of Dissolution was entered on June 7, 2013. It stated there were no assets.

I am now interested in selling Los Banos, but I am informed the buyer will not be able to obtain title insurance so the property is essentially unsaleable until title issues are addressed.

I respectfully request the court exercise its jurisdiction over 536 North Santa Ana Street, Los Banos as a missed asset pursuant to Family Code §2556 and adjudicate the nature and extent of our respective interests in said property.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that information provided in this form and all attachments is true and correct.

CES 2018: A STORY OF INNOVATION

JANUARY 12 - 18, 2018

Shelly Palmer

What’s really new at CES® 2018? This year, CES will be a gathering of professionals from almost every industry. Together they will architect the technological evolution of human interaction and communication. CES has transcended its “consumer electronics show” initialism, and now it tells a story of innovation unlike any we’ve seen before.

The Buzzwords Last year’s megatrends of on-demand, machine learning, and autonomy have given way to this year’s buzzwords: AI, Blockchain, and AR. The anecdotal statistics are astounding. Everyone says they have AI projects in the works, AR projects are becoming ubiquitous, and even complete technophobes are talking about Blockchain (the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin) and other distributed ledger projects as if they were experts.

The non-buzzwords paint an equally astounding, albeit more serious, picture.

Social media addiction and the related creation of echo chambers and increased tribalism have changed the social fabric of our nation. Enhanced automation and robotics are replacing workers more quickly than most people expected.

Exponentially paced changes in media, distribution, retail, marketing, and advertising are seriously disruptive forces. And it is now crystal clear that to be competitive, every company must have world-class tech capabilities.

The Innovation Series at CES Every year, we host the Innovation Series breakfast at CES. It’s an invitationonly gathering of leaders in technology, media, entertainment, marketing, government, and finance. This year, we are going to tackle some of the biggest technological and sociological issues with

a remarkable set of Socratic discussions and presentations.

Responsible Innovation We have questions: Can self-driving cars ever be safe? How dangerous is Alexa?

Will artificial intelligence (AI) take my job? Do cryptocurrencies empower terrorists? Can a cardiac pacemaker be hacked? We have concerns: Fake news, fake ads, fake accounts, bots, foreign governments interfering with our elections … Is technological innovation good or bad? David Sapin, Principal US Advisory Risk and Regulatory Leader, PwC and I will discuss the three basic approaches to regulating innovation – but should we even try?

Ecosystems and Interfaces How does one of the biggest tech manufacturers in the world see the future?

I’ll chat with Tim Baxter, CEO, Samsung Electronics America about how Samsung sees the evolution of ecosystems and human/machine interfaces. Samsung makes more phones and televisions than just about anyone. But recently it has begun a transition from a hardware company to a connected solutions company. As consumer demands evolve, Samsung hopes to create innovative, connected experiences that completely reimagine what is possible – and ultimately create a shift in consumer behaviors. Are we near the end of handsets? If so, what’s next?

Identity vs. Identifiers One of my primary theses is that everything that can be connected will be connected. Which means that every physical product can and will have a digital twin. For this to happen, connected physical “things” and their digital twins must be specifically and uniquely identified – giving rise to hybrid identity that bridges a physical product with its digital instance. This will create an incredible amount of data, and it

should fuel demand for decentralized data schemas (such as distributed ledgers) and accelerate consumer desire to control what can be fed back to central authorities or third parties. Can we achieve ubiquitous, real-time digital identity delivered in standard and interoperable ways? Should we? Is there a way to protect identity but still identify everything? I’ll discuss how this might work with Bob Carpenter, CEO of GS1 US.

JAN 13–21

AI: Myth vs. Reality AI is definitely one of “the” buzzwords of 2018, but we’re going to cut right to the chase. Barak Turovsky is the Head of Product & Design, Google Translate and Machine Learning. In case you are wondering, Google Translate is the largest AI project on the planet. Barak is going to help us get past the mythology of AI and present a case study describing what happened when Google moved Translate from a machine learning environment to an AI environment. The results are nothing short of awe-inspiring. This discussion should inform your thinking about the near-term uses for AI in your business.

CES Is People!

Our Innovation Series at CES is a microcosm of the story of innovation you’ll find everywhere at CES this year. We’re going to think through what it means to responsibly approach innovation, look to the future of human/ machine interfaces, reduce the buzzwords and hype to actionable insights, take a good look at the tactical requirements for an Internet of Everything, and deep dive into practical uses for AI and human/ machine partnerships. A big shout out to Gary Shapiro, Karen Chupka, and the whole CTA team for their central role in CES’s incredible story of innovation.

You can request an invitation to the Innovation Series Breakfast at CES 2018 here.

Blake Kopcho, oceans campaigner with the Center for Biological Diversity, says the first lease sale in the Golden State may very well be off the coast of Santa Barbara.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk

This past holiday season marked the first year that holiday shoppers spent more of their gift budgets online than in stores, according to a recent report by the consulting firm Deloitte.

Environmentalists are indeed concerned

that this trend doesn’t augur well for the environment, given the extra packaging waste and energy costs that accompany getting merchandise to customers. Going to the store or mall to do our shopping burns fossil fuels, for sure, but at least the items we purchase don’t then have to be re-swaddled in extra filler and cardboard and shipped to us on a plane, truck, train or ship.

next week, and a public hearing is set for February 8 in Sacramento.

The plan is separate from the recent decision to lift safety regulations put in place after the Deepwater Horizon spill.

Eric Grafe, staff attorney with Earthjustice, says oil spills are inevitable and calls this a giveaway to the oil and gas industry at the expense of the tourist economy and the environment.

There hasn't been an offshore lease sale in federal waters since 1984, and in state waters since the sixties.

Santa Barbara suffered a major oil spill in 1969 and a smaller one in 2015 when a pipeline serving existing wells burst. A 60-day public comment period on regulations.gov will begin

Grafe also notes that this move will encourage dependence on fossil fuels for decades to come and thus put the U-S behind in the battle against climate change.

The new draft five-year plan includes 47 lease sales - the largest number in history - in waters off the entire

"And you can't clean up oil if it spills, even in good conditions," Grafe says.

"And even without an oil spill, the noise and the disturbance harms marine life, in particular, whales and other marine mammals that depend on hearing and sound to navigate their world."

groups are describing the Trump administration's decision to open up 98 percent of U.S. federal waters to oil and gas drilling.

How do environmentalists feel about the amount of packaging waste now that holiday shopping has largely switched from retail shops to online stores?

GREEN

For its part, Amazon—the company many blame for ushering in the transition to e-commerce in the first place and which today dominates online retail—used some 6,000 trucks and 32 planes to get some five billion items to its Prime members in 2017.

During that process, untold hundreds of millions of cardboard boxes were used to get customers’ choices to their doorsteps.

Those boxes are in turn typically recycled by the recipients, and collected by municipal curbside pick-up service.

But that’s not the end of the story: Next, this once-used cardboard is typically shipped to China where it is soaked in water, stripped of staples and reborn as new cardboard. In many cases the box you recycle has made a 12,000-mile, fossil-fuel-spewing loop at sea in its journey of rebirth. So… while recycling is a great thing, it may not be worth it if we factor in the fossil fuels emitted in the process. We’d be better off avoiding the extra layer of packaging altogether. Maybe that trip to the mall isn’t such a bad idea after all.

That said, Amazon recently boasted of transitioning to more sustainable packaging during the 2017 holiday season, switching 100 million shipments from cardboard boxes to less resource-intensive padded mailers, reportedly eliminating 181,000 tons of waste. So that’s something, but Amazon and other online retailers have a long way to go in

reducing not only the amount of packaging but perhaps even the packaging altogether when possible.

This is not to say you should bad about recycling your boxes in the wake of the holidays, as it’s a perfectly decent environmental thing to do. But if you want to go the extra mile, maybe think of some way to reuse them at least one more time before the next recipient ships it off for recycling—or reuses it as well. Also, don’t forget that most gift wrap—as long as it doesn’t have foil or glitter or a plasticizing non-rip coating—as well as holiday cards, can be recycled as well. And yet another option for responsibly discarding that cardboard, wrapping paper and holiday cards is in your yard waste or compost bin, in which case it will live another day not as a cardboard box but instead as part of your next batch of mulch or soil amendment.

CDC Report: Opioid Crisis Hits Harder in U.S.

Jessica Hulsey Nickel, president of the Addiction Policy Forum, says the repor t conf irms what her group is already seeing.

“We need to star t working w ith our health care systems and our families to get that assistance and that inter vention as soon as possible."

" This is getting worse, not better, and we need more resources and tools right now, w ith a sense of urgency to help make sure we address it," she states.

The Addiction Policy Forum has proposed an eight point plan developed by exper ts and families af fected by addiction.

Nickel points out that, when dealing w ith addiction, early inter vention works best.

CONCORD, N.H. – Drug overdose deaths are increasing rapidly in the United States, and New Hampshire is near top of the list.

A repor t from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC) shows more than 63,000 drug overdose deaths nationw ide in 2016, a 21 percent increase over 2015.

You can protect your data by u sing secure internet connections rather than public Wi-Fi when you’re providing sensitive information such as financial account numbers online; sending bill payments from public mailboxes and collecting your mail promptly; shredding documents that contain your personal information when they’re no longer needed; keeping your computer and mobile device safe against malware that may be lurking in email attachments, pop-ups and banner ads; downloading apps and other programs only from trusted sources; and being wary of anyone who contacts you unexpectedly asking for it. You can also use the security settings on social media sites to restrict who can see your posts. But when businesses have your data, you can’t control how well it’s safeguarded.

Nickel emphasizes that addiction is a preventable and treatable disease.

• Create separate passwords for your most sensitive accounts. While it’s convenient to use the same password for everything, crooks know that, so if they get your password for one account, they’ll try it to log into accounts on other websites. Any account that has your financial information, Social Security number or other sensitive data should have a unique, strong password to keep would-be intruders guessing.

• Beef up your authentication. If your user name, which is often your email address, and a password is all it takes to access your accounts, your defenses are relatively weak. Two-factor authentication—your password plus something that only you have, such as a one-time code that is sent to you as

part of the log-in process—provides much stronger protection.

• Freeze your credit file. This prevents identity thieves from opening new credit accounts in your name because the lenders won’t be able to access your credit record. Since some landlords and employers also check applicants’ credit records, freezes can also stop fraudulent attempts to get jobs or rent apartments using your identity.

Contact the three major creditreporting agencies—Equifax, Experian and TransUnion—to request a security freeze. You can lift the freeze anytime you need to and reset it. In some situations, you may be able to do this free; otherwise, there will be a small fee.

With a few precautions, you can protect your personal data. Photo Credit: NAPSI
