MAYOR LICCARDO & CITY LEADERS ASSEMBLE 2018-2019 BUDGET OF $3.45 BILLION Jose's 2018-19 fiscal year by the City Manager's Office.

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR Many more San Jose residents need to understand their role as stakeholders (really shareholders') by reviewing the 2018-19 Budget information presented in summary form at this link to the SJ budgets: http://www.sanjoseca.gov/ index.aspx?nid=6076.

SJ residents, in the aggregate, support this civic services business whose annual budget totals $3.45 billion NET (made up by your property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, etc.) and employs about 7,000 civic workers, many of whom are specialists. Their purpose is to deliver essential community civic services.

Those services establish the quality of life enjoyed by all.

The role of government is to enable delivery of many services which cannot be successfully accomplished by individuals, families or local firms. Do go to that budget link to see the list of budget totals which underwrite these civic activities and services.

Unlike private businesses and corporations, San Jose's budget is public. Just reviewing it will be very informative and reveals the many professional employees in civic service.

Residents need to know enough to communicate with city service departments when requesting road repairs, police or firefighting services.

Water, sewage, trash disposal, airports, parks & recreation; rent control, building code enforcement...and many more. Its revenues collections and budget operations go on all year long.

During March 2018, Mayor Sam Liccardo released his June Budget Message, outlining his final recommendations and changes to the Proposed Budget for the City of San

The Mayor's proposed recommendations targets investment in Public Safety, #BeautySJ; and Housing/ Homelessness, while also Saving to Protect Against Future Shortfalls (i.e., a contingency fund).

While San Jose City’s fiscal outlook is much more stable and improved than a decade ago when Mayor Chuck Reed exposed the growing retirement benefits obligations, there is still limited capacity for making major new spending commitments. In addition, the City may continue to face small projected deficits in future years and potential “storm clouds” on the economic horizon.

This led the Mayor to recommended placing $15.5 million into (rainy day) reserves to protect the City’s long-term fiscal stability and focused a modest set of new investments as this community’s top priorities.

“We still face challenging years ahead, requiring a prudent and strategic approach to spending,” said Mayor Liccardo. “We must focus our (civic) investments carefully to improve safety, broaden economic opportunity, enhance neighborhood quality of life, and strengthen civic infrastructure.”

These new investments are being proposed for the 201819 budget: *Public Safety: In addition to funds needed to support the SJPD rebuilding (close to 200 new officers recruited over the past 2 years), the budget includes additional investments in public safety, such as: A. Allocation of $150,000 for a pilot program offering emergency housing and/ or assistance to victims of domestic or family violence.

B. Enhancing staffing in the

domestic violence and sexual assaults units by modifying the Police Athletic League's Administration.

C. Expanding traffic and pedestrian safety measures in key locations, which are expected to help reduce traffic related injuries and deaths. * Housing and Homelessness: To aid its efforts to confront the region’s growing (& existing) housing crisis, the FY 18-19 budget proposal includes: A. An additional $3 million to support the City’s various homelessness initiatives.

B. New investments in the City’s rental rights program to expand available assistance for renters and create a Rental Registry to better monitor landlord compliance with the City’s rent control laws.

C. Funding for a pilot program that would help support the early development of unconventional, cost-effective housing concepts. For example, retrofitting dilapidated buildings to accommodate new affordable housing units. *#BeautifySJ: The Mayor has proposed continuing and expanding funding for the City’s new beautification initiative, which has enlisted more than 25,000 volunteers, nearly tripled the amount of trash and litter collected, and enhanced the City’s response to illegal dumping and free junk pickup requests. The budget would include (additional) new funding to: A. Develop My San Jose 2.0, which will expand the number of service requests available via the user-friendly app.

B. Add staffing to the City’s anti-litter program to support the growing number of neighborhood cleanups taking place throughout the City.

C. Expand a partnership with the Downtown Streets Team to

address blight along the Monterey Road corridor.

Additionally, the FY 2018-19 budget proposal includes funding for various Smart City projects, in which an initial, one-time investment can help significantly improve service delivery and efficiency (while) yielding ongoing budget savings). These include: A) SJ Clean Energy Phase I is expected to begin serving businesses and residents in Spring 2019. However, as an initial start-up phase, the City of San Jose will transition to purchasing electricity for its municipal purposes (i.e. electricity needed for City buildings and operations) this fall. If the City Administration’s recommendation is approved, the City of San Jose will purchase 40% renewable and 100% GHG (green-house gas)-free sourced electricity for its municipal operations – a “greener” level of electricity than it currently purchases from PG&E. B) An updated Affordable Housing Investment Plan, which outlines the City’s strategy for facilitating development of new affordable housing over the next five fiscal years. During that time, the City estimates that it will collect approximately $335 million in revenues from Inclusionary fees, the low and moderate-income housing affordable fund, and other sources, which can be used to invest in affordable housing. When combined with other external funding sources (including County Measure A funds), the City projects that it currently will have enough funding to facilitate the development of 5,615 new rent-restricted, affordable housing units.

It is advisable to coordinate with the County regarding those programs (domestic violence; affordable housing/homelessness; and infrastructural issues) which are also being addressed by the Board of Supervisors and County Executive in their

2018-19 Budget. Let's ensure that taxpayers are not being asked to underwrite the same program (project) twice...once at the city level and again at the county level.

One way to do that is to become a member of a Board, Commission, or Committee” within the City of San Jose or the County of Santa Clara. One learns a lot about corporate organizations, management, budgeting, and inclusive public decision-making while serving as a member of these three groups. Such service ensures that the best practices are used and that public revenues are used for the purpose intended. In addition, members may learn about the CA Administrative Codes and may be able to provide input which resolve community concerns and identifies needs. Objective overview (having no conflict of interest) of civic operations is essential to having your taxes being used efficiently, effectively and properly.

All that information about the City of San Jose, CA annual budget is available online. In the past I have learned much which helped me advance in my career as a manager through my personal involvement & experiences as a member of Boards, Commissions and Committees. All because I chose to become an active informed advocate who learned to get things done and get thing changed... both of which undercut those gatekeepers who favored their friends and/ or cronies. These civic operations budgets can teach you a lot... all are available online.

In this diverse community, the City's diversity must be professionally present.

Note that 11 decision-makers (the Mayor and 10 City Council members) are elected officials. Your individual vote at this level COUNTS. Your vote may enforce accountability and responsibility. It all begins with “We, The People” who agree to be governed by a participatory DEMOCRACY.

PORTAZO A LOS MÁS VULNERABLES decisión de eliminar la opción del asilo para la mayoría de los inmigrantes indocumentados que son víctimas de la violencia doméstica o de las pandillas.

No es una casualidad que el procurador general Jeff Sessions anunciara este drástico cambio de política unos días después que el Departamento de Seguridad Interna (DHS) anunciara un número record de detenciones de más de 51,000 personas en la frontera sur, la mayoría inmigrantes indocumentados procedentes de los países del triángulo norte de Centroamérica: Honduras, El Salvador y Guatemala José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

Si efectivamente una sociedad mide su estatura moral por la manera en la cual trata a los más vulnerables, la administración del presidente Donald Trump tocó fondo con su polémica

De un brochazo, la administración Trump clausura el precedente migratorio vigente que había permitido a una inmigrante salvadoreña obtener asilo en los Estados Unidos después de haber sido víctima de una violación sexual y de maltrato por parte de su esposo. Bajo las nuevas reglas esa

inmigrante tiene una posibilidad casi nula de obtener asilo en los Estados Unidos.

Tiene razón el presidente del Partido Demócrata, Tomás Pérez, cuando calificó la decisión de la administración como “un acto cruel, enfermo, despiadado e inhumano” que tendrá un severo impacto humanitario en miles de víctimas de la violencia, en momentos que subsisten altos niveles de criminalidad, especialmente en Centroamérica.

Varios senadores y representantes demócratas coincidieron en que la acción de Sessions, quien apenas días atrás había desvelado su política de “tolerancia cero”, representa una traición a los valores de Estados Unidos como una nación compasiva y justa que acoge a quienes huyen de todo tipo de persecución en sus países de origen.

DON’T LEAVE MIDDLE SCHOOLS OUT OF THE SCHOOL START TIME DEBATE

LEAD CONTAMINATION IN SCHOOLS' DRINKING WATER WORSE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT Soundbite Services BOSTON — As schools begin summer break, environmental groups are urging public officials to take swift action to "get the lead out" of drinking water in schools.

A new interactive map by Environment America and U.S. PIRG (Public Interest Research Group) shows lead contamination in the tap water of schools throughout the country.

Getting enough good sleep is critical for adolescents’ health, education, and overall well-being, but data from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey suggest that only one in four high school students (27 percent) receives more than eight hours of sleep per night. However, sleep scientistsrecommend that adolescents receive closer to nine hours of sleep for optimal functioning. School start times likely influence the amount of sleep that adolescents get, and policies should account for this link as early as middle school.

Across the country, school districts are heeding calls from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other organizations to address insufficient sleep by delaying school start times, particularly at the high school level. However, as changes to start times can be costly for school districts—which may need to purchase new transportation infrastructure and take on other costs—recent shifts have led to tradeoffs between high schools and middle schools. For example, to prioritize later start times for high schools, some districts either opt against a delayed start for middle school students or have them start school even earlier in the morning. New research, recently published by Child Trends in the Journal of School Health, suggests that such policy choices may be detrimental for middle school students’ sleep.

Although advocates have long included middle schools in discussions of later school start times, most published research until recently focused on outcomes for high school students.

That research consistently shows that later school start times are linked to longer sleep durations and decreased daytime sleepiness, among other outcomes. School districts’ focus on the high school level is perhaps reflective of the relative scarcity of evidence for middle schools.

As part of Child Trends’ work to evaluate one school district’s efforts to change school start times, we expanded the evidence base demonstrating that later start times are also linked to better sleep outcomes for middle school students. The analysis compared two types of schools in the same district: those that served only seventh- and eighth-grade students (middle schools), and schools that served those grade levels alongside ninththrough twelfth-graders (secondary schools).

At the time of analysis, middle schools started approximately 37 minutes later than secondary schools (8:00 a.m. vs. 7:23 a.m.).

Students in each type of school were asked to respond to an online survey about their sleep and health outcomes. We used statistical weighting to better relate our findings to the differences in school start times, rather than to other characteristics (e.g., gender, race, age, or socioeconomic status) that may also contribute to differences in outcomes.

Although seventh- and eighth-grade students at later-starting schools had bedtimes approximately 15 minutes later, they received, on average, 17 more minutes of sleep per night than students in earlier-starting schools. These extra minutes of sleep add up over time—17 minutes a night leads to nearly 51 extra hours of sleep in a year. Given the known linkages between sleep, academic achievement, mental health, and physical health, such gains in sleep could have significant positive implications for these students. More research is needed, however, to really understand these long-term outcomes.

Still, even the youth in the later-starting school did not generally reach the optimal sleep duration of nine hours. Assuming a linear relationship between time delayed and minutes of sleep duration increased, our findings suggest that schools would need to start at 9:15 a.m. for students to reach nine hours—which may not be feasible for all school systems. Still, our research findings are clear: Middle school students should not be left out of the conversation around school start times.

According to John Rumpler, program director for Environment America, schools from Texas to Oregon, New Jersey and Maine show high levels of lead. He said there's an ever-present risk of contamination in our nation's schools. It’s in the water delivery system, pipes, plumbing, fixtures, and in the faucets.

"The most fundamental solution to the problem is to get the lead out,” Rumpler said; “to actually remove the lead-bearing parts in the waterdelivery system so that our water for our children can be safe."

Medical experts estimate that across the country, upwards of 24 million children will lose IQ points because of exposure to low levels of lead.

Rumpler pointed out the fastest

and least expensive way to reduce the problem right away would be for schools to install filters that are certified to remove lead on every faucet and every fountain used for drinking or cooking.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has said school drinking water should not contain more than one part per billion of lead contamination. But the study found some schools with levels as high as 22,000 parts per billion.

According to Rumpler, no level of lead is safe for children, and the goal should be for all of it to be removed.

"We're calling on school districts and state regulators across the country to take action on this issue, and to ensure that school districts have the funds that they need to undertake this critical health-protective task,” he said.

As schools break for summer, environmental groups say it's a great time for lead remediation. They urge parents and teachers to contact their elected officials and demand they be proactive and "get the lead out" of schools' drinking water to protect students' health.

MEN'S HEALTH MONTH: MAKING MEN FEEL COMFORTABLE IN DOC'S OFFICE

Developing a relationship with a primary care physician can be a way to get men into the doctor's office for regular checkups. Photo Credit: Jesper Aggergaard/Unsplash

Eric Tegethoff Public News Service - OR PORTLAND, Ore. — It's Men's Health Month, and doctors have a request for men: Get a checkup from your primary care physician.

Doctor Safina Koreishi is a family medicine physician and medical director of the Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization. She said there's a whole host of things men should keep their doctors up-to-date on, including weight, diet, blood pressure, and smoking and drinking habits.

Primary care doctors also are good resources for talking about issues such as depression. Koreishi noted in the past few decades, it's become more socially acceptable to bring up mental health.

"But I think we still have a ways to go when it comes to mood, in terms of helping men feel comfortable talking about it,” Koreishi said. “I think women tend to feel somewhat more comfortable, if I'm going to make a generalization."

Depression is a major public health issue. According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide rates across the country have increased by more than 25 percent since 1999.

Koreishi said men might be wary about visiting the doctor because they assume a checkup will include a prostate exam.

But these exams aren't common anymore unless someone is showing signs or has a family history. She said men might also stay away simply because they don't have a relationship with a primary care physician.

"That's absolutely, I think, paramount in people's comfort in having a lot of these conversations, especially things that may not seem to the general public as being what they think about is talked about in a doctor's office,” she said.

Koreishi added that men older than 50 should be screened for colon cancer.

They have a few options: They can get a colonoscopy once every ten years or do an at-home “FIT kit” test once a year.

salud mental.

“Pero me parece que todavía falta camino por andar en cuanto al estado de ánimo del hombre, como ayudarlo a sentirse cómodo al hablar del tema. Creo que la mujer tiende a sentirse más cómoda, si voy a generalizar.”

La depresión es un problema grande de salud pública. Según un reporte reciente de los “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” (Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades), las tasas nacionales de suicidio han subido en más del 25 por ciento desde 1999.

Koreishi supone que los hombres pudieran estar cuidándose de ir al doctor porque creen que un chequeo incluirá el examen de próstata.

Pero esos exámenes ya no son comunes, a menos haya síntomas o una historial familiar. Dice que los hombres también pudieran mantenerse alejados sólo por no conocer algún doctor de primer nivel.

“Es absolutamente vital, para comodidad de la gente, tener muchas de estas conversaciones, en especial sobre lo que pudiera parecerle al público general que no debería hablarse en un consultorio.”

Koreishi agrega que los hombres mayores de 50 años deben ser examinados del colon, para detectar a tiempo un posible cáncer. Como opciones tienen la colonoscopía cada diez años, o el estuche casero “FIT kit”, una vez al año.

La información del CDC está disponible en CDC.gov.

NUTRICIÓN SIMPLE Y LOCAL: 5 razones para sentirse bien con productos lácteos en su dieta

Photo Credit: BPT

Cuando bebe un licuado nutritivo o se deleita con una pizza abundante en queso, ¿se ha preguntado alguna vez quiénes están detrás de sus productos lácteos favoritos?

Más del 97 por ciento de las granjas lecheras de los Estados Unidos son de propiedad y operación familiar, y esas familias sienten tanta pasión por crear productos lácteos simples y nutritivos, como la que usted experimenta cuando los disfruta. Los esforzados trabajadores de esa industria que ponen deliciosos lácteos en su mesa, desde los granjeros a los chefs y todos los demás participantes, tienen una innegable característica en común: devoción.

Además del magnífico sabor y la rica tradición lechera detrás de estos productos lácteos, hay otras cinco razones más para incorporarlos como parte regular de su dieta: *La industria láctea es un negocio local.

Cuando usted compra queso, yogurt o las dedicadas familias de granjas lecheras cerca de su localidad, lo cual contribuye a la creación de empleos. Los productos lácteos con los que usted alimenta a su familia proceden probablemente de otra esforzada familia cerca de la suya. Y las granjas lecheras son fundamentalmente un negocio local: la mayoría de la leche se produce a menos de dos horas en automóvil de los lugares donde se vende. *Son naturales: La leche, queso y mantequilla auténticos tienen un sabor más natural porque, por supuesto, son lo más natural.

Por eso, cuando usted añade un poco de leche a su café matutino, o corona una patata

Los productos lácteos son beneficiosos para todas las edades, debido a que son una fuente alimenticia principal de calcio, potasio y vitamina D, nutrientes que faltan en la dieta de numerosos estadounidenses, niños inclusive. Además, su consumo es totalmente seguro. "En conclusión, la leche y otros lácteos son alimentos seguros y nutritivos que se pueden recomendar a los demás y disfrutar con confianza", confirma el Dr. Gregory Miller, PhD, FACN, director científico del Consejo Nacional de Productos Lácteos de los Estados Unidos (National Dairy Council). *Los productos lácteos contienen abundantes proteínas. Los lácteos son una fuente importante y ampliamente disponible de proteínas, que contribuyen a reconstruir y reparar la masa muscular. Si no están incluidos en su dieta, necesitará consumir hasta un 30 por ciento más de proteínas procedentes de plantas para igualar la calidad de las proteínas presentes en los productos lácteos.

San José, CA - A new jaguar is entering the limelight at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo. Happy Hollow welcomes Kianto, a 12-year-old male Goldman’s jaguar from Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois.

Kianto joins the iconic Sophia, who is 14-years-old, and has enthralled Happy Hollow visitors since 2005.

Kianto’s arrival is part of an Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) recommendation.

SSP programs focus on animals that are in danger of extinction in the wild, and ensure the survival of selected species in zoos and aquariums. “Our animal ambassadors represent threatened and endangered species from all corners of the world,” says Shannon Heimer, Happy Hollow Park Manager. “We’re here to connect all people to nature and conservation through play.”

Jaguars are the largest cat species in the Americas, and are sexually dimorphic, meaning they display noticeable differences in males and females. For example, Kianto’s head is much larger than Sophia’s. He also weighs in around 130 pounds, while Sophia is closer to 90. Both are elusive ambush predators with excellent climbing abilities. Often mistaken for leopards, jaguars are characterized by tiny black spots inside their eye-catching rosette markings.

Sophia and Kianto are not a genetic match for breeding, but providing the cats with safe and stimulating habitats is a key component of SPP programs.

“Our zookeepers and staff are excited to work with both a male and female jaguar, and to help the SSP,” says Kevin Hertell, Zoo Manager at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo. “While it’s not a breeding

recommendation, it does help the SSP as far as providing housing for additional animals.” As solitary animals, the two spotted felines will live in separate enclosures.

While caring for big cats like Kianto and Sophia has its challenges, Happy Hollow animal care staff provides careful monitoring and interesting enrichment activities for every animal in the Zoo on a daily basis. Physical and mental stimulation encourages natural behaviors and is fun for guests to observe.

Guests are often eager to engage with the animals, but Zoo staff remind visitors to stay in public areas of the Zoo and to be respectful to all animals and other guests.

While there are many places to go wild at Happy Hollow, the best ways to learn about the animals is through calm, quiet observation, attending the daily animal meet-and-greets, and sharing questions with Zoo staff.

For Kianto’s health and safety, he will be given as much time and space as he needs to acclimate to his new habitat, so guests may or may not see him out on exhibit as he settles in.

“Discover Conservation” and learn more about jaguars at Happy Hollow on Thursday, June 14 with conservation expert, Anthony Giordano. The event will take place in front of the Happy Hollow jaguar exhibit, and guests will learn about the Chaco Jaguar Conservation Project and "jaguar free beef," as this organization works with cattle barons to prevent and/ or mitigate human-jaguar conflict.

PRIMARY RESULTS BOOST ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN CA Proposition 68 is a bond measure that would raise $4.1 billion for increased outdoor recreation opportunities, water projects and land conservation, mostly in lowincome areas.

Suzanne Potter California News Service SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The election results are trending positively for environmental justice in California with the likely defeat of Proposition 70 and the passage of Proposition 68.

Opponents maintain it would be unwise for California to take on more debt.

Zucker notes that Prop 68 would secure $200 million to help build wetlands around the Salton Sea in the Southern California desert.

Prop 70 would have required a two-thirds majority for the State Legislature to appropriate funds for climate change-related projects.

Lucas Zucker is policy director at the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), which successfully fought off a power plant proposed for Oxnard.

He says Prop 70 would have been an obstacle to climate projects that fight air pollution, which disproportionately plagues communities of color.

"We fought hard to stop this corporate attack on California's climate action

Environmental justice groups opposed Prop. 70, saying it would have made it more difficult to fund climate projects that mitigate pollution from power plants such as this one in the low-income community of Oxnard. Photo Credit: Rennett Stowe/Wikimedia Commons

because for us the climate crisis is very real and very personal," he states.

"We're campaigning against Prop 70 because these clean air programs

are critical for us to provide benefits like public transit service in our community and we couldn't let them be sabotaged by legislative gridlock."

"The Salton Sea is basically a ticking time bomb of pollution that will have a huge negative impact on farmworker communities in the Coachella Valley unless we're able to resolve the issue, and this is a huge step in getting there," he states.

The new wetlands are designed to cover the exposed lake bed and help protect the surrounding communities from harmful asthmainducing dust.

A WARRIOR’S DYNASTY BUILT ON TOPPLING THE KING

Golden State’s season comes to a satisfying conclusion, but there’s more NBA to come before next season

shooters in order to sign Lebron, and Lebron loves shooters. But at the end of the day, Philadelphia gives Lebron a chance to continue to dominate the Eastern Conference and challenge in the Finals for years to come. Once he ages, the young stars will have blossomed into outright superstars and could return the favor for him as the catalyst for championships in the twilight of his career.

In these finals Houston took the Warriors to the end of tight seven game series and was up double digits at half time in both games six and seven.

They have two superstars in tow already in Chris Paul and James Harden, and an array of shooters surrounding them. Lebron would feast in this offense. The problem with the Rockets, is that all three stars function best as primary ball handlers, so there are some questions of the fit.

With the way the NBA is right now, teams really can’t have too many playmakers. The second reason Lebron might not like this choice is that Texas lacks a little in the way of city appeal for Lebron and his family. He has already pointed out how much influence his family’s happiness is going to play this time around.

The Golden State Warriors are once again defending NBA world champions. This go around ended up providing their toughest challenge as a team when they were down 3-2 to the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals. But just as any good champion does, the Warriors persevered.

They dominated the third quarters of those final two games to advance to the finals. They survived Houston, and another championship was all but assured as they were set to face a very familiar adversary in Lebron James. His road to the finals was achieved nearly single handedly, carrying a roster significantly worse than the year before.

Unfortunately for the Cavs and Lebron, the King had no Kyrie Irving to help steal a game. The Warriors trounced the Cavs in 4 games, a clean sweep.

With three championships in four years, the Warriors are in the midst of a dynasty run. The one year they didn’t win it all, was to the man they defeated in their three victory campaigns. For those keeping score, It’s Warriors 3, Lebron 1. In a sense, the last decade has been an era of NBA lore centered around the biggest star, Lebron James.

A prodigy billed as “The Chosen One” before ever stepping foot on NBA hardwood, there were expectations thrust on him to be as great as Michael Jordan. His first role was as hometown hero in his early years, as a kid from Akron Ohio who stayed faithful to his home team. In his second stint, he became the NBA’s villain for leaving Cleveland and forming a superteam in Miami.

A redemption arc and two titles later, now a bona fide champion, he had another role to play. As the “Savior of Cleveland”, he made good on his promise to his hometown team and brought a title to a city that had starved for a champion of any kind for over 50 years. Since that last championship,

and a shift in power thanks to Kevin Durant, the narrative has changed for the NBA and Lebron.

The Warriors are a true superteam, with the most cohesive star talent in the NBA and a solid supporting cast. Throw in elite coaching and management and it’s no surprise that the last two years the Warriors have been heavy favorites to win it all. Regular season and post season, the media looks for contenders. They don’t want the NBA season to be a forgone conclusion before it even begins. The stacked Western Conference would pose a challenge, but as many predicted, it would have to be up to Lebron. Could he do it alone? If he does, will he be considered the greatest of all time?

No man has carried a team the way he has. He put the team on his shoulders in the Playoffs and had one of the greatest runs any player has ever put together in the post season. But it wasn’t nearly enough, not against Golden State. The Warrior’s dynasty has been built on vanquishing The King.

This NBA offseason can once again change everything. Potential free agents include Lebron, Paul George and Demarcus Cousins. Kevin Durant could choose to become a free agent.

Kawhi Leonard’s future in San Antonio is looking questionable. Klay Thompson could choose to sign for more money elsewhere. But of course, the biggest storyline will be about which team Lebron will end up choosing. For all the talk about no teams being able to stand up to the Warriors, there seems to be quite a few options Lebron has that are realistic at this point in his career. Media has highlighted Houston, L.A, and Philadelphia as favorites. Each has a compelling case. Boston, San Antonio and even Golden State, are media dark horses.

Philadelphia is a young squad with two young budding superstars. Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid are the biggest draws. Simmons is in the mold of Magic Johnson. He has unlimited potential and a skill set similar to Lebron, but as of right now he can’t shoot a lick. Embiid’s talent is otherworldly, but he has struggled with injuries.

They would also have to give up some valuable

If it isn’t purely about basketball, the Lakers might be the most attractive option out there. His family already has two mansions in L.A. and would give his sons many options for schooling and basketball.

The allure of the franchise has its own weight. They are the most storied franchise in NBA history, and following the footsteps of Magic, Kareem, Shaq and Kobe could be something Lebron embraces.

Magic Johnson is the current President of Basketball Operations for the Lakers, and he has the cap space to sign Lebron and a second superstar like Paul George. They have a young roster with flexible assets in case the roster needs

to be reshaped around new stars. Out of all the options, if the Lakers are able to get a second star, this is where I see Lebron heading.

For the dark horse candidates, Boston would probably have to move Kyrie, as he forced a trade out of Cleveland because he didn’t want to play in Lebron’s shadow. But the Celtics roster of young studs with Lebron would be fantastic. San Antonio is attractive if they can keep Kawhi Leonard, as Lebron has never had a coach the caliber of Popovich. But once again, I have a hard time seeing Lebron and his family choosing San Antonio over a glamour city.

And for Golden State, it almost seems like a joke, but it is at least going to be talked about over the offseason. The only way it happens is if they can’t work out contract numbers with Klay and knowing they will have to pay Draymond the max the following year, go for Lebron preemptively.

This would mean letting go of Klay and Dray. My guess is they would love to keep the core intact if they can. So far, there hasn’t been any indications that they won’t work it out.

Another round of LeBron’s “The Decision” is looming this summer, and as of right now, it’s anyone’s guess to where Lebron will ultimately end up. But once he decides, many other free agent dominoes will fall, and there will be shifts in power because of these moves. But if there is one thing that fans can probably guess, it’s that the biggest 2019 NBA season narrative will be a continuation of the current saga. The media will sell it and the fans will eat it up.

Can Lebron take down the Warriors? He will have more help this time, but will it be enough? If not, the Warriors dynasty will continue, at the expense of the King’s legacy.

CALIFORNIA’S BIG CITIES SCORE BEST AND WORST FOR PROSPERITY Research Shows Racial Divide Persists

11

Kasey Wiedrich, director of applied research at Prosperity Now, said although Silicon Valley residents generally have advanced degrees and earn high salaries, relatively few can afford to own a home.

Wiedrich added the research found many city-dwellers don't have a basic nest egg, meaning they haven't saved enough to cover basic expenses for three months in case of an emergency.

"So, we look at the median home values compared to the median income, and it's almost ten times higher," Wiedrich said; "which really, you know, speaks to who can afford to live in a city like San Francisco."

"We think that decades of discrimination really have hindered people's ability to build wealth and to become economically mobile, and for families to provide for their children a brighter future than they have now," she said.

San Diego scored well on prosperity, at number 14. Fresno and Santa Ana ranked 57th and 60th, respectively. And Los Angeles also fared poorly, at number 48.

All three have large immigrant populations, many of whom live paycheck-to-paycheck.

And almost 42 percent of people in those metro areas work in jobs that don't offer health insurance.

The report looked at 26 factors, including family income, assets, debt, emergency savings, home ownership, education, access to healthcare, tax rates and the average cost of housing. When compared with other states, as a whole, California comes out right in the middle - at number 27 for overall prosperity.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A new state ranking of Americans' financial health shows California is home to two of the most prosperous big cities - San Francisco and

San Jose - and two of the least prosperous Fresno and Santa Ana. The 2018 Prosperity Now Scorecard includes measures of financial health in the 64 biggest U.S. cities, all with populations over 300,000. And no surprise, Silicon Valley is doing well, except on measures of housing affordability, where it is among the worst.

San Francisco, California (June 13, 2018)—The Outside Lands Music Festival today released a study outlining the economic impact the annual event has on San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area.

The report estimated that the festival generated $66.8 million in economic activity for the city of San Francisco, and $75 million for the entire Bay Area in 2017. The festival also increased incomes by $32.6 million, created the equivalent of 700.4 full time year-long jobs, and paid $9,465,668 in state and local taxes.

“San Francisco has been on the leading edge of live music for decades and Outside Lands keeps us securely on the map in the music world,” said Joe D’Alessandro, President and CEO of San Francisco Travel Association. “The economic numbers this study has yielded prove that the festival’s reach goes far beyond just the entertainment business.”

The Report The report—conducted by Marin Economic Consulting and commissioned by Outside Lands organizers, Another Planet Entertainment and Superfly—utilized both an on-site survey and an online survey of the demographic characteristics and spending patterns of festival attendees. From this data, the researchers created estimates of the amount of new spending that occurred as a result of the festival. These estimates were then used to assess the overall economic impact in the form of increased output, incomes, and jobs for City and Bay Area businesses and residents.

Findings from the report include: • $66.8 million in economic impact for the city of San Francisco; $75 million for entire Bay Area • Outside Lands created an equivalent of 700.4 full time year-round jobs.

• 65% of the respondents to the survey lived

• Utilizing this data, researchers estimated that total direct expenditures from Outside Lands within San Francisco were $29,995,144. Spending in the Bay Area outside of San Francisco was estimated at $2,596,099. This resulted in total direct expenditures in the entire Bay Area of $32,591,244.

• "When visitors stay in San Francisco hotels, they help support an industry that sustains tens of thousands of working families. This study highlights how events like Outside Lands – 60% of whose guests stay in local hotels – contribute to our region’s economy. This is welcome news for the city and for our members," said Ian Lewis, Research Director of UNITE HERE Local 2.

Additional Festival Benefits Outside Lands has also contributed over $20 million to San Francisco Recreation and Park in the past 10 years and has established an endowment for a year-round, full-time gardener for the Polo Fields.

FARMERS CONDEMN MERGER OF MONSANTO WITH BAYER T he Justice Depar tment spent months reviewing the proposed merger and de termined that it would limit compe tition, but gave it conditional approval if it spins off $9 billion in asse ts.

T his includes the sale of Bayer's digital farming, seed and herbicide businesses.

Linda Barr Public News Ser vice BOSTON – The German pharmaceutical and chemical company, Bayer, is known for aspirin, but it is also a key manufacturer of seeds and pesticides.

Johnson says investiture is an approach the Trump administration is taking in lieu of imposing regulations that would be subjec t to regular review.

Now it is about to sweep up Monsanto, the U.S.-based agric ultural giant.

This impacts New England farmers who depend on vegetable seeds.

According to Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union, the $6.25 billion deal will consolidate control of more than a quarter of the world's seed and pesticides marke t.

"This extreme consolidation drives up costs for farmers and it limits their choice of produc ts in the marke tplace,” he stresses.

“It also reduces the incentive

more sustainable way.

"While we appreciate the significant divestitures agreed to as par t of this approval, Farmers Union condemns DOJ's continued rubber-stamping of mergers in the food and agric ulture arena," Johnson states.

T he Farmers Union, which advocates on behalf of 200,000 farmers and farm communities nationwide, has pledged to ensure that Bayer keeps its word.

Critics say this merger shows that American monopoly laws are wor thless and a recent poll shows that 94 percent of farmers are concerned about the merger.

IS ALEXA SPYING ON YOU?

inventing (and patenting) a way for Echo to ignore the word “Alexa” ahead of its 2018 Super Bowl commercial.

These issues arise in spite of the fact that NLP systems are becoming increasingly more accurate.

Less than two years ago, voice recognition sat in the 92 to 94% accuracy range. In the past year, Microsoft reduced its error rate to 5.1%. Google claims an error rate of 4.9%, but it may be using different testing approaches.

How Secure Is Alexa?

Besides mishearing wake words and not understanding your commands, Amazon’s Echo devices have a history of security blips and other worrying behaviors. Here are a few: • Researchers found that “dolphin attacks,” audio played at a frequency inaudible to the human ear, can control smart devices without their owners being aware.

• Smart devices can be used as spy tools for law enforcement.

Some people believe that Alexa is listening all the time. This is true. Some people believe that Alexa records every word for posterity. This is false.

Some people believe that having an Amazon Echo increases their risk of being hacked. This is also false. But, there’s more to the story.

For a solid overview of Alexa Voice Services (AVS), which is the underlying technology for Amazon’s Echo products, please read my essay: Just How Dangerous Is Alexa? It explains how voiceenabled smart speakers work and should help you frame your own thesis about Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Someone Found a Bug A woman named Danielle recently contacted Amazon after an employee of her husband received audio recordings of private conversations from Danielle’s home.

Danielle, who had AVS-enabled devices in every room of her home and used them as her Smart Home hub, repeatedly called Amazon until an Alexa engineer investigated the matter.

“They said ‘Our engineers went through your logs, and they saw exactly what you told us, they saw exactly what you said happened, and we’re

sorry.’ He apologized like 15 times in a matter of 30 minutes and he said we really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, this is something we need to fix!”

Amazon’s Explanation and Reaction Amazon investigated, and the company explained what happened: Echo woke up due to a word in background conversation sounding like “Alexa.” Then, the subsequent conversation was heard as a “send message” request. At which point, Alexa said out loud “To whom?” At which point, the background conversation was interpreted as a name in the customer’s contact list. Alexa then asked out loud, “[contact name], right?” Alexa then interpreted background conversation as “right”. As unlikely as this string of events is, we are evaluating options to make this case even less likely.”

Amazon offered to “deprovision” Danielle’s Alexa communications, meaning that Danielle and her husband could still use the devices to control their Smart Home. Danielle, however, asked Amazon for a full refund for all of her devices.

• Wired discovered that turning an Echo into a spy device only takes some “clever coding.”

• People have complained about a “sinister” laugh coming from Alexa. (Spooky!)

According to Amazon, all of your spoken commands are stored as text in Amazon’s cloud.

You can see your history in the Alexa app. Unless you opt out, Google stores a history of every interaction you have with Google from every device. Facebook has your complete Facebook history. Every website or app you’ve ever visited or used has the ability to keep a record of every interaction you’ve ever had with it. Honestly, there’s nothing new here. Nothing.

TECHNOLOGY

17

Could Hackers Get Your Alexa History?

Hackers can get anything they set their minds to.

Anything that can be hacked will be hacked.

If law enforcement served Amazon with a warrant to obtain your AVS records, the time stamps of the commands could place someone (not necessarily you because, at the moment, Alexa does not recognize who is speaking) at the scene of a crime or help an investigator put together a theory of a case. But this can be done with any or all of your digital interactions—credit cards, phone, computer, etc.

What Happens Next?

In spite of these worries and security risks, smart speakers, led by Amazon’s Echo products (with over 22M units sold last year), are on pace to be found in over 55% of US households by 2021 and are becoming the fastest-adopted consumer electronics devices, reaching a 50% penetration in just 3.5 years. (The smartphone took 5 years.) It’s projected that Echo devices will generate $7B in retail sales by 2020.

If you’re really paranoid, don’t buy an Echo or any smart speaker. That way, you’ll only have to worry about your smartphone spying on you … and your laptop … and your TV … and your microwave … and don’t forget government satellites and your run-of-the-mill James-Bond-Cold-War-Era, wiretaps, and laser-based eavesdropping tools …

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.

LA BARAJA ESPAÑOLA, ORÍGENES Y USOS MÍSTICOS Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador

La baraja española es uno de los métodos más frecuentes y popular de adivinación.

Es una versión hispana del tarot francés del siglo XIV, versión que solamente consta de los arcanos menores. Según relatan las leyendas, Isabel de Castilla desde muy joven consultaba con frecuencia a una cartomántica, quien le predijo su boda con Fernando de Aragón, los viajes de Cristóbal Colón y la bonanza política, económica y cultural que gozaría España en los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII. Se cree que fueron los gitanos quieren crearon las barajas por inspiración original, otros consideran que fueron los árabes quienes llevaron este método adivinatorio a España, y existe una nueva versión que señala el año1877, como el año en el que se originó la baraja española actual, con las figuras que hoy es conocida mundialmente. Se cree que se encargó el diseño de una baraja propia al profesor de la Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Vitoria, Emilio Sourbrier. Este diseño obtuvo el primer premio de la Exposición Universal de París, en el año 1889. Aún así los cimientos de la baraja española están fundamentados en las setenta y ocho cartas del tarot. La baraja española consiste en una mazo de cuarenta y ocho cartas, clasificadas en cuatro manjares: oros, bastos, copas y espadas, cada carta está numerada del uno al doce. Las cartas del diez al doce son representadas por figuras que corresponden a la sota, el caballo y el rey. Existen mazos de cartas que no contienen los números ocho y nueve, constando únicamente de cuarenta cartas, estos mazos son incompletos pues para hacer una predicción genuina se necesitan las cuarenta y ocho cartas originales.

“El significado de las cartas españolas es equivalente al significado de las cuarenta y ocho cartas correspondientes del arcano menor del tarot”.

Del mismo modo puede hacer preguntas de respuesta positiva o negativa a las cartas.

Piense en su pregunta, concéntrese y escoja tres cartas al azar, los oros y las copas auguran que la respuesta es afirmativa, los bastos y las espadas auguran una respuesta negativa. Si salen dos oros o dos copas, o una de oros y una de copas y otra de espadas o bastos, la respuesta sigue siendo afirmativa, sin embargo; se tendrá que esperar un poco pues pueden ocurrir retrasos e inconvenientes que al final serán vencidos. Si las tres cartas son de copas, oros o una combinación de ambas, la respuesta es un sí rotundo. En cambio si las tres cartas son de espadas y bastos la respuesta es un no definitivo. Si salen dos cartas ya sean de espadas o bastos y una sola de oros o copas, la respuesta indica que hay muchas energías trabajando en su contra pero aún hay esperanza, por lo cuál se deberá escoger otra carta al azar, de esa carta depende la respuesta final y definitiva a la pregunta que se formuló.

RUSIA ASPIRA A ORGANIZAR EL MEJOR MUNDIAL DE LA HISTORIA

El Scratch con la mira puesta en el hexacampeonato

Brasil

La Canarinha, liderada por Neymar y su entrenador Tite, llega como máxima favorita por las casas de apuestas, dado el gran fútbol que mostró durante la eliminatoria suramericana, en la que se dio el lujo de golear a equipos como Argentina (3-0 en suelo brasileño) y Uruguay (4-1 en suelo charrúa). El doloroso 1-7 sufrido en casa ante Alemania durante la Copa Mundial 2014 ha servido para mejorar y llegar a Rusia 2018 con el fútbol necesario para lograr el sexto título.

Está aquí el evento futbolístico más importante que podamos imaginar, el Mundial de Fútbol que en pocos días se celebra en Rusia.

Rusia aspira a mostrar al resto del mundo el enorme esfuerzo y sacrificio que ha realizado estos últimos años para organizar el mejor mundial de fútbol que jamás se haya celebrado.

Desde una óptica futbolística, la Selección anfitriona nos demuestra que posee unos jugadores que pueden dar mucho juego en este Mundial. Se ha preparado para ello y está dispuesta a dar toda la batalla que se le exige al organizador de este maravilloso evento.

Rusia cuenta con un equipo de jugadores y un staff técnico de gran capacidad que ilusionará a los aficionados. Seguro que por esfuerzo y deseo de dar todo cuanto llevan dentro no va a quedar.

Observo el grado de responsabilidad en los ojos de los jugadores y técnicos cada día, siento cada latido del corazón de los 23 elegidos para el momento deportivo más importante de sus vidas, somos conscientes del riesgo y del reto, lo afrontan con todas sus fuerzas y con el deseo de hacerlo lo mejor posible.

Se ha trabajado duramente para poner en la órbita mundial los estadios de fútbol, comunicaciones, alojamientos, tecnificación, accesos, centros de alto rendimiento y demás infraestructuras que harán posible, en grado sumo, la celebración de tan magno evento.

El fútbol de élite, y el de selecciones particularmente, no admite pausas ni entretiempos. Es pura acción, una carrera contra el reloj. Y en un Mundial todos estos factores se precipitan como consecuencia del contexto, de la responsabilidad de jugar por el país que te acoge, o de mejorar el papel de tu selección.

Pero también la ansiedad, el cansancio y la presión.

Todo ello hace que un Mundial sea especial para los amantes del deporte rey.

Mi profesión de preparador físico me ha llevado en la última década a vivir Champions y Europa Leagues, Eurocopas y Mundiales. Sin embargo, puedo decir que, de todas las competiciones y campeonatos, sin duda este de Rusia 2018 es el más impactante. Vivirlo desde dentro marca diferencias.

Y es que, en los últimos tiempos, el país ha vivido una auténtica revolución en torno a la tecnificación, por lo que podemos aseverar que este es un país de grandes desafíos, de grandes retos.

En el pasado lo fueron la carrera espacial o el deporte olímpico y hoy, por su dimensión y magnitud internacional, el fútbol se ha convertido

No en vano, de los últimos tres mundiales -Sudáfrica, Brasil y Rusia-, este de 2018 ostenta el récord de inversiones en formación e infraestructuras.

Esta experiencia nos ha servido para tener una mayor y mejor perspectiva del mundo en todos sus ámbitos, una mayor adaptación a las particularidades del día a día en una vida llena de obstáculos, y una continua exigencia para afrontar los retos que propician el futuro próximo.

Posiblemente ha complementado nuestra personalidad, retando a la vida en un país que, en principio, era una aventura desconocida, pero que finalmente ha venido a regalarnos el aumento de conocimientos, matices y entresijos que nos ha demandado el vivir aquí. Por ello, gracias al CSKA de Moscú y a la selección rusa, puedo reconocer lo mucho que me ha dado el fútbol, la riqueza tan inmensa que ha proporcionado familiarmente, y la gran aventura que nos ha tocado vivir, a mi familia y a mí.

Quedan apenas unos días para que arranque el Mundial en el estadio Luzhniki de Moscú, joya de la corona y encargado de albergar la ceremonia de apertura y el partido inaugural - Rusia vs Arabia Saudí- el día 14 de junio, pero el partido ya comenzó en el momento en que la FIFA le encomendó a Rusia albergar este Mundial.

(17 mayo)

Mejor posición alcanzada

Rusia es consciente de que todas las miradas del mundo estarán pendientes, por ello, al ser anfitrión, es una gran oportunidad para darse a conocer, aún más, y destacar en este escaparate internacional que es el planeta del fútbol.

La llave del Mundial de Sudáfrica en 2010, cénit de la época dorada de la selección española -entre 2008 y 2012-, fue la mejor tarjeta de presentación para todos los que decidimos embarcarnos en esta maravillosa aventura que es el fútbol, y emprender nuevos retos en otros países. Fuimos muchos los que decidimos venir a Rusia para vivir momentos espectaculares, dejando atrás, con mucha nostalgia, todo aquello que suponía vivir en nuestra querida España. Pero llegamos para encontrar nuevas experiencias, aprender y disfrutar de cerca otro idioma y matices del fútbol, sin olvidarnos del enriquecimiento cultural, social, y a nivel personal y familiar que suponía la estancia acogedora de Rusia.

Clasificación

Presencias en mundiales

en uno de sus grandes y principales desafíos.

Somos muchos los profesionales que trabajamos fuera de nuestras fronteras. España, en este sentido, es una gran exportadora de talento, máxime si hablamos de fútbol. Y no sólo me estoy refiriendo a futbolistas, que también, sino a entrenadores, directores deportivos, preparadores físicos, médicos y fisioterapeutas.
