DOMA and Prop 8 overturned in California; found to be unconstitutionalOn Wednesday the Supreme Court overturned the “Defense of Marriage Act” which discriminated against same-sex marriage in California. The District Court’s decision to redact the initial bill means they recognized the fundamental right of Californians to marry whoever they want to marry regardless of gender. Rep. Henry A. Waxman commented on the decision, “Marriage brings recognition, dignity, and integrity to couples and their families, and keeping gay and lesbian people from getting married serves no legitimate purpose.”
Senado votara en ley de ReformaEl Senado de California votará en la Resolución Senatorial Conjunta (SJR) 13 de el senador Leland Yee, que pide al Congreso y al Presidente Obama para que la Ley de Reforma de Inmigración trabaja para reunir a las familias. En la actualidad, el proyecto de ley eliminará la F-3 y F-4 categorías de visas, poniendo fin a una consideración especial para los hermanos o hijos adultos de ciudadanos estadounidenses. Además, la resolución pide el reconocimiento de la igualdad de las parejas del mismo sexo en los asuntos relacionados con la inmigración.

Who are the clients of banks? All who use ‘bank products’ such as accounts, Credit cards, checking or savings, loans for education, vehicles and mortgages. All are promoted as a ‘product’ rather than a ‘service’. All have a variety of interest rates, payment schedules, fees, contract terms and conditions. Home mortgages are of especial interest because, in San Jose, some 8,000 dwellings became ‘bank assets’ after foreclosures happened. The ‘Housing Industry’ collapsed. An outcome was that many home purchases went underwater (home value less than the mortgage being serviced) or simply could no longer meet the required monthly mortgage payment schedule. This had a major impact on the U.S. consumer economy, because a homeowner is the consumer who purchases ‘durable goods’ such as stoves, refrigerators, freezers, all types of furniture, ‘entertainment centers’, etc. Imagine the economic ripple effect when the local appliance vendor has ‘insufficient sales’. To deal with the alarming domestic economy collapse beginning in 2008, the Obama Administration initiated ‘bail-out’ programs to ‘pump money’ into the domestic economy. Remember that ‘We The People’ are the guarantors of the FRB (Federal Reserve Bank). TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) was one such ‘bailout’ program . Others are the (FDIC) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program.
OPINION
EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com
JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2013
Recently the FRB was purchasing ‘derivatives’ (bundled mortgages) to pump money into the housing industry. Just last week, Treasury Secretary Bernanke revealed that this program would be phased out between January and June 2014. This led to the stock market falling some 300 point in three days. Now Wall Street is where very large ‘Too big to fail or jail’ banks (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi Bank, JPMorgan-Chase bank) have their executive management. The biggest threat to American society today, and America as this earth’s superpower, are not terrorists, but financial executives whose focus is making money for themselves and their shareholders, while not providing needed jobs and banking services at lowest costs to small businesses and consumers. Let’s get back to home mortgages. Policies were formed and implemented to have banks renegotiate ‘underwater mortgages’ and to mitigate foreclosures. Many families lost their home equity when foreclosure happened. Recently. a class action lawsuit was filed against Bank of America for improper foreclosures. This resulted from internal policies which required bank employees to misrepresent mortgage standings. Payments made were not recognized. Allegedly it was more profitable to ‘close the books’ than to renegotiate certain mortgages using TARP funds. These foreclosures are the most egregious examples of a very large bank abusing its client. Other abuses have happened with the existence of these banking monopolies. Other examples are: the student loan debt exceeding $1 trillion (Its current interest rate will double on July 1, 2013 unless Congress enacts legislation); Small businesses, where innovation and creativity creates jobs are not getting development & ex-
pansion loans insured by the SBA (all at no risk to banks); Banks still are peddling ‘derivatives’ which caused the 2008 financial crisis; and continue to foreclose mortgages while eliminating the equity of many homeowners. Banks have benefitted from very low interest Federal Reserve Bank loans. Their executives receive very large bonuses even when very bad policies were made and carried out. The U.S. Congress (especially its Republican ideologues) and Wall Street need to begin acting responsibly. Their recent decisions and actions do not result in traditional benefits for the middle class, working poor, handicapped nor the destitute. Paycheck loans, Credit Cards and business rating agencies (Standard & Poors and Moody’s) have practices which need full exposure and federal monitoring. An article “The Last Mystery of the Financial Crisis’ (posted on Rolling Stones.org) is worth reading. Certain banks and businesses were able to ‘buy’ the ratings needed to commit fraud. Wall Street will not clean its act up until the U.S. Attorney General puts the worst of those financial executives in jail for endangering the national economy with their self-serving schemes. Let’s get tough on those financial businesses which do not practice their craft with usual and customary integrity, honesty, morality and ethics. Avarice, greed and sloth are rampant per the evidence which eventually trickles out. One thing is certain. Most of us will experience abuse delivered by the banking enterprise being used. Until we begin to hold elected officials, high-level executives and public servants accountable and responsible with effective monitoring and meaningful consequences, abuses will continue. Let’s create an American Dream with homes for the free and the brave.
Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR Me gustaría felicitar al país que me ha visto crecer en la varias etapas e mi vida, desde ser una pequeña niña linda, una adolescente punk, pasar a ser la mejor hija y hermana hasta mi etapa actual como editora de este impresionante periódico. Este es el país que llamo hogar y estoy feliz de decir que podemos celebrar un año más de conseguir nuestra independencia de Inglaterra. Voy a ser muy honesta y decirles que cuando pienso en el 4 de julio lo primero que viene a mi mente son los fuegos artificiales y la playa. Sé que miles de personas lucharon por la libertad de este país, siguen haciéndolo y lo agradezco, pero todo lo que quiero hacer es celebrar mediante de la relajación. Estuve en San Diego el domingo pasado por cuestiones
de trabajo y en nuestro tiempo de descanso, los reporteros y los empleados de Nissan tuvimos la oportunidad de socializar y conocernos un poco. Al final de la noche después de disfrutar de una suculenta cena (ventajas de ser periodista) pasamos un buen rato en la azotea del hotel en el que nos alojábamos. Me encontré rodeada de colegas de diversos países, r una era peruana, otro francés y un americano. Este ultimo me refiero a alguien de los EEUU. Por alguna razón la conversación pasó de coches al fútbol. Y en caso de que no sea súper obvio, el fútbol no es muy popular en los Estados Unidos de Norte América, pero es un deporte dominante en el resto del mundo. La colega peruana estaba tan entusiasmada con la próxima Copa del Mundo, así como el francés mientras que al americano y a mí la plática no nos resultaba tan interesante. Pero eso si cuando la plática tomo otro rumbo sobre los Juegos Olímpicos, y Estados Unidos de Norte América es dominante en casi todos los deportes participe más en la plática. Ellos como aficionados al fútbol seguían obsesionados con el hecho de que los EEUU es pésimo en el fútbol yo solo pude argu-
3
mentar permítanme hablar de baloncesto. Ambos me preguntaron cómo es que no te gusta el fútbol? Algo así insinuando que porque soy latina me tiene que gustar. Me identifico como mexicana antes que nada, y sé que en el país el futbol es el deporte favorito. Pero la verdad es que tuve una crisis de identidad momentánea. En ese momento pensé, sí soy 100 por ciento latina pero el futbol no es de mi interés, en mi interior me dije y a quién le importa, los EE.UU. es el mejor en todo lo demás. Esa noche me di cuenta de que soy tan mexicana como americana. Quiero decir que hay miles de inmigrantes que considero americanos. Estoy segura de que les importa este país tanto como los nacidos aquí. No porque nieguen quienes son, sino porque realmente aprecian todas las oportunidades que este país les ofrece. Puede que no sea su país de origen, pero al igual que en mi caso han luchado y triunfado. En todo caso, cualquier persona que vive en los EE.UU. debe tomar un tiempo para reflexionar lo que significa vivir en el mejor país.
¡VIVA EEUU!

San Jose CALIFORNIA HurtNo1, Inc announces the official launch of its services to curtail the scourge of teen dating violence in Santa Clara County. The mission of HurtNo1 is to share tools and resources with young adults in and around the community so they have a clear understanding of how to identify controlling abusive behavior and domestic violence, and adequately equip them with the resources and knowledge to end its destructive patterns. HurtNo1 focuses primarily on high school aged youths, at the time when intimate relationships are becoming more serious. Their goal is to reach young people in their learning environment. Most are unaware how regularly teen dating violence occurs. In a nationwide survey, 9.8 percent of high school students report being hit, slapped, or physically hurt on purpose by their boyfriend or girlfriend
EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com
in the 12 months prior to the survey. More than half of the adult victims of violence and abuse report they had their first experience in adolescence, which further increases negative health outcomes across the lifespan. Teen Dating Violence is defined as violence and/or abuse among two adolescents, ages 10-24 in a current, past and/ or potential romantic relationship, including physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, economic, technological, and stalking, where there is an imbalance of power and a pattern of coercion over time. HurtNo1 was formed in 2011 by founder Sheila Badon. Ms. Badon has been dedicated to ending domestic violence through education since 1994. HurtNo1 was created out of a passion and belief that domestic violence can end through education. “It is known that controlling abusive behavior is learned. It is learned through our society, our heritage, our
peers, the media, and even our role models,” Ms. Badon said. “Only through opening up the conversation, and making it safe to talk about this destructive behavior, can a sense of individual responsibility be established that will give youth the commitment to follow through on a path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishment.” “Prevention of teen dating violence is essential to reversing the cycle of domestic violence”, said Kathleen Krenek, Executive Director of Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, Santa Clara County’s largest domestic violence services organization. “I’m pleased to see HurtNo1 join Next Door’s P.O.W.E.R. program in the provision of these much needed services.” Indeed, community groups throughout Santa Clara County have begun to recognize that intimate violence is not something that just starts at age 18. For example, in April 2012 the
JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2013
San Jose Unified School District Board of Education passed a resolution acknowledging the importance of addressing children’s exposure to both domestic violence and teen dating violence. The Board members committed to train school staff, integrate domestic violence awareness and resources into existing curricula, and encourage community organizations to bring domestic violence prevention and education programs to schools. “I am delighted to play a role in bringing healthy relationship skills to teens and young adults,” said Lisa Breen Strickland, Chair of the HurtNo1 Board of Directors. “My years of experience, working for community agencies dedicated to domestic violence, have taught me that getting to teens as they are forming their attitudes and beliefs about what is acceptable in intimate relationships is critical, and HurtNo1 brings these teens fresh ideas.” For more information, visit:

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA The County of Santa Clara is celebrating an award granted to the Bay Area Equal Pay Collaborative by the Equal Rights Advocates in San Francisco earlier this month. The Bay Area Equal Pay Collaborative, an organization the County’s Office of Women’s Policy founded in 2012 in partnership with other Bay Area organizations, received the Gender Justice Award for its efforts to provide education and advocacy on the issue of Equal Pay, and its work to address the needs of vulnerable workers. The award ceremony drew nearly 800 participants from across the Bay Area. “I am pleased to see that the hard work of the Bay Area Equal Pay Collaborative has not gone unnoticed,” said Supervisor Ken Yeager, President, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. “I commend the Office of Women’s Policy for its leadership role in advocating for vulnerable workers, particularly youth workers, undocumented
workers, and older workers.” The award acknowledges the efforts of the Collaborative’s partnering organizations: The County of Santa Clara Office of Women’s Policy, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, (EEOC), Department of Labor (Women’s Bureau, Wage and Hour Division, and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs), The Coalition for Equal Pay, and The Katherine and George Alexander Law Center – Worker Rights Programs. The Collaborative provides education and advocacy on the issue of equal pay in the workplace. This year, the Collaborative conducted workshops for vulnerable workers, employers and college students throughout the Bay Area; sponsored an Equal Pay Cookie Project, a high school curriculum that reached over 2,000 students this year across Santa Clara County; and began conducting Wage Negotiation Training. The first training drew approximately 60 students at San Jose State University and was presented in collabora-
tion with the American Association of University Women, (AAUW) San Jose. “We applaud the combined accomplishments of this young but very dynamic collaborative,” said Noreen Farrell, Executive Director of Equal Rights Advocate. “This recognition highlights the commitment of the members of the Bay Area Equal Pay Collaborative to defending the dignity of women in the work place who feel intimidated to speak up for themselves or their peers when it comes to protecting their rights.” “Raising awareness and educating our community is not an option, but a shared responsibility,” added Esther Peralez-Dieckmann, Director of the County of Santa Clara Office of Women’s Policy, who received the award on behalf of the Collaborative. “The Gender Justice Award recognizes our efforts to advocate for vulnerable workers who do not have a voice, and encourages partnerships with the public, private and non-governmental sectors to address equal pay and other worker rights.”

Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR California has recently changed its formula on how money is distributed and spent by schools across the state. In the past, the amount of money that was given to schools was heavily unbalanced between the rich and the poor school districts. “The old formula was not designed to meet everyone’s needs, for example English learners and low-income. It consists of 40, 50 or so programs that restricted how districts spent money and really restricted their flexibility,” Michael Kirst, President of California State Board of

The base grant goes to every district and is based on pupil attendance. The supplemental grant is based on the number of students who are English language learners, low income, or foster youth.

This first year we got $2.1 billion in the budget dedicated to the implementation of the formula,” Cohen said. “We are using new dollars that are possible under proposition 30, which the voters passed in November, to really take care of the issue of winners and losers. With the new dollars we are to build up and reinvest in the education system.”

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION Ah yes, there’s nothing quite as enjoyable as a hot summer’s day, a long distance drive in front of you, and a backseat containing one or more complaining children. Okay, maybe not enjoyable at all. But such trips don’t have to be stressful, unpleasant experiences. It’s relatively easy to overcome the boredom that triggers those backseat passengers’ complaints. Start with entertainment to fill up the hours. For young children think books, games, puzzles or favorite toys. Fill a basket with a variety of items matching their interests, then hand them out one at time, providing something new when the previous one has done its duty. Include a couple of unexpected surprises, like a new book or

colored markers. Today’s variety of electronic choices, from tablet computers to portable DVD and MP3 players, makes it easy to offer music and movie choices that can fill up hours. But don’t forget to include ear buds so Mom and Dad can preserve their sanity and hearing while the backseat occupants rock out. You probably also want the kids to experience the trip, not just disappear into an electronic coma. Try sitting them down before the trip with a map where they can mark the route and search the Internet for interesting attractions along the way. Let them track your trip progress on the map, and perhaps suggest places to stop and explore. Planning on stopping every now and then is an important element in holding down stress levels and family tempers dur-
ing a long car trip. Short breaks where everyone can get out, stretch and blow off steam may add a little time to the trip, but will also make it much more pleasant. Most important, of course, is making sure that a traveling family is a well-fed family. A car full of hungry kids is a car full of unhappy kids. Try to stick to healthy snacks, avoiding high-sugar foods that tend to wire most children, and have a cooler with drinks. Remember that kids often eat and snack on a much more frequent schedule than their parents, so plan food stops and breaks accordingly. Vacation trips by car, especially in this era of sky-high airline ticket prices, are often a family necessity, but don’t have to be a family problem. Plan a bit and you can make the journey, not just the destination, part of your vacation fun.
Por primera vez desde que la Ley de Control del Tabaco y Prevención Familiar del Hábito de Fumar de 2009, le dio a la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de los Estados Unidos (FDA en inglés) la autoridad para regular los productos de tabaco, la agencia ha autorizado la comercialización de dos nuevos productos de tabaco y le niega la comercialización a otro cuatro productos a través de la vía de equivalencia sustancial (SE en inglés). Según la ley, una de las formas legales que los fabricantes pueden vender un nuevo producto de tabaco es establecer que su producto es sustancialmente equivalente a un producto establecido válido ya en el mercado. Una vez que una empresa recibe una orden de comercialización vía de equivalencia sustancial (Marketing SE) para un producto, esto sólo significa que la FDA ha encontrado que el nuevo producto de tabaco es sustancialmente equivalente a un producto establecido y en cumplimiento con los requisitos de la Ley Federal de Alimentos, Medicamentos y Cosméticos (FD&C Act). Una orden de comercialización vía de equivalencia
sustancial no es una constatación de que el producto es seguro o más seguro que el producto establecido, o menos nocivos en general. De esta manera, la ley deja claro que las empresas no pueden decir que sus productos son aprobados por la FDA. La agencia emitió órdenes de comercialización vía de equivalencia sustancial para dos productos de cigarrillos de tabaco de la compañía Lorillard, Newport No Mentolados Caja de Oro 100s y Newport No Mentolados Caja de Oro. La FDA llegó a la conclusión de que, mientras que los nuevos productos tienen características diferentes a los productos establecidos, los nuevos productos no presentan diferentes cuestiones de salud pública. Cualquier producto que presente diferentes cuestiones de salud pública se define con no sustancialmente equivalente (NSE en inglés) y no se permitirá su comercialización. Una variedad de factores contribuyeron a las cuatro decisiones de productos no sustancialmente equivalentes anunciadas hoy, como la falta de evidencia para apoyar que la adición de ingredientes específicos no presenta diversas cuestiones
de salud pública, falta de información sobre el diseño del producto y datos incompletos de las pruebas. Además, la FDA ha retirado formalmente 136 reportes de productos sustancialmente equivalentes a petición de los solicitantes. En cualquier momento durante el proceso de revisión de la FDA, los fabricantes pueden optar por retirar su solicitud, si no son capaces de cumplir con las normas de la FDA, o por otras razones de negocios. La FDA también se negó a aceptar 20 solicitudes de exoneración de productos sustancialmente equivalentes debido a que los fabricantes no cumplen con los requisitos para tal exoneración. La vía de exoneración de productos sustancialmente equivalentes puede estar disponible para ciertos productos del tabaco con modificaciones menores, donde lo único que cambia es un aditivo. Cada una de las solicitudes de exoneración de productos sustancialmente equivalentes que la FDA se negó a aceptar no cumplían con los requisitos o con el reglamento de exoneración de productos sustancialmente equivalentes.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR The frontiers of the United States were not yet from “sea to shining sea”. During the revolution of 1776 the people of the newest colony of Great Britain were pushed into divisive measures. Who was to trust and who was to blame? It must’ve been a truly breaking moment when one chose between the patriotism of the their home country or join the new union which promised a different organization and method of government like no other. On this 237th anniversary of the founding of arguably one of the most prominent and historically important events in recent history we spend time with families, barbeque, shoot fireworks (if legal, and sometimes, even if not) and remember that we live in a place of great opportunity, despite its faults. Even with
faults its difficult to overlook the beacon of freedom this country was during its youth. Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Abraham Lincoln Memorial and many others symbolize the people and entities that made the American freedom possible for people of all walks of life. The face of the country has also changed dramatically since 1776, with the declining population of Anglo-Americans and the rise of the La-
tino and Asian ethnic majority. Beyond the racial proportions of the country lies the assimilation of cultures from around the world and their definition and practice of celebrating the 4th of July. When traversing the local scene of the Bay Area over the years, things have changed in terms of who and how the holiday is celebrated. For many the assimilation process in the United States begins with an American

flag on the front porch, or a t-shirt that reads “U.S.A.”. Other times it’s a Korean barbeque or enchiladas. It all depends on the people that are celebrating and how they perceive the day as. There are those that are immigrants turned citizens, whose patriotism is exciting and fundamental to the growth of our nation as a connected power of individuals. There are also those immigrants who are undocumented and do not feel as connected to the camaraderie of Independence Day for many reasons.
ty was achieved and to this day we consider ourselves a complete American nation. The new views of immigrants and their children change the focus of Independence Day. It’s still a day for celebrating, honoring and respecting the patriots who endangered themselves time and time again, war after war, to keep this country free from enemies foreign and domestic. Yet now it is also a view that includes more information, and more angles from sons and daughters of immigrants.
As our nation advances and incorporates even more outside influences, there must be a restructuring of the meaning of freedom and patriotism. To a once very similarly thinking and living nation unity was easier to establish out of the ashes of a war. Even through the turmoil of the Civil War, a battle of brother against brother, uni-
Even now that our own freedoms have been at stake there are individuals who fight for our rights from within the government itself. We are not perfect, and we will make mistakes, but we are still “we”. That includes anyone in this country, from matriarchs of the industry or veterans to undocumented people who live amongst us
everyday, who speak the language and go to school and work hard jobs. There are millions of stories and scenarios but as human beings living in the United States we should include every soul into the new version of Independence Day. Our country has grown thanks to people of every creed and color so as Americans these efforts should be taken into account when remembering what we are as a country. As long as intentions are for the betterment of oneself, one’s family, or the nation as a whole it should be evident that July 4th is a day of independence from all forms of negativity and control. To be an American is to be you, while accepting the different cultures and traditions that are tossed into this melting pot we choose to call home. Please be safe and be good on this 4th of July.

FASHION & BEAUTY
Protect Your Family’s Skin from Summer’s Scrapes
EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com
JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2013
PHOTO SOURCE: Robert Churchill - Getty Images (STATEPOINT) Afternoons at the pool, family barbecues, outdoor sports and picnics all mean summertime has arrived. With the change in temperature comes additional exposure to the elements and the attendant skin scrapes, bites and burns. Pharmacy shelves are lined with products to treat these common summer ailments. But, with more Americans concerned about using harsh chemicals on their bodies, families are frequently turning to natural alternatives that are just as effective. To help your family “go natural” in your skin remedies, follow these tips throughout your fun-filled summer.
Bugs
Rather than spraying your yard with products that contain potentially harmful chemicals like DEET and PABA, consider citronella
candles. The fragrance should not only keep bugs at bay, but the soft glow sets a pleasant mood for your al fresco meals and parties.Of course, you can also prevent being bugged all together by avoiding the outdoors during dusk, when mosquitos come out in full force. But when the outdoors calls, try applying a natural insect repellent. If you do get bitten, don’t scratch. That can promote infection. Instead, apply a cold compress to the bite. It’s a tried and true inexpensive path to itch relief.
Sunburn
If your yard lacks shade, improve your eco-footprint and create shade by planting a tree or two. You may not be able to reap the shady benefits this year, but you’ll thank yourself in the future. You may also consider building a gazebo or porch overhang for more immediate relief from the sun. Wear a hat and sunglasses
outdoors and apply a sunscreen with broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Spend too long in the sun? Treat yourself to nature’s burn relief, Aloe Vera. Look for a gel that is free of parabens and artificial colors and phthalates.
Scrapes
Bike rides, baseball, basketball and trips to the playground all present an opportunity for slips and falls. On such adventures, be sure to carry a small first aid kit so you can clean and cover minor injuries right away. A natural anti-bacterial alternative, delivers skin relief and is available at natural food stores such as Whole Foods Market. Pack cotton swabs and bandages in a variety of shapes and sizes to be best prepared.
Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR Independence day is only a few days away and a lot more people now have a very important reason to celebrate-should I mention the Supreme Court’s ruling this past Wednesday?--an event truly made for the history books. Fourth of July is about celebrating freedom and it couldn’t be more evident thatr we, as a country, are moving in the right direction.
This summer, take a cue This year let’s enjoy what from nature to ward off sea- this great country of ours has given us, and celebrate in style sonal skin woes. with our best summer getup.
Summer weather means hot weather, even though it might seem like we’re having bipolar climate. This July 4th make it a fun one by dressing down; that’s right, dressing down. Looking fashionable doesn’t always mean dressing up. Jeans and a t-shirt can also mean trendy if you know how to wear them. What’s more American than jeans? Jeans are cool not only because of the fabric, which literally keep you cool, but because they are so versatile you can wear them with just about everything. Pair your cool jeans with an American tank, oversized aviators, big floppy hat, and cute wedges

for a day downtown. Ditch the jeans and replace them with a cute pair of flower-patterned jean shorts for the family bbq. A night at the beach watching the firework show will be perfect if you’re wearing the most flattering sundress. What do I mean by most flattering? A dress that pulls the attention away from your problem areas and focuses on your best assets. A fluttery dress usually means more fabric which, in small frames, can be overwhelming. In this case opt for a short length, light fabric and large waistband that will flatter your figure. Always, always focus on your figure, not the style of the dress. We know we all like to look our best when attending a friend’s or family event, but let’s forget about going all out and stressing about choosing the perfect outfit. Instead opt for that bright red fit-andflowy dress that hugs you in the right places. A dress that is fitted at the top, and has an ample skirt, will not only give the illusion of a tiny waist but will compliment just about every shape. It’s that simple. This July 4th celebrate and rejoice your heart and be proud to be an American. And whatever outfit you decide to celebrate in just keep two things in mind, dress your shape and keep it simple.
Happy 4th!

It was this advocacy that led to the formation of the new Arts & Letters Council, as well as to the invitation accepted by Kluger’s personal friend, and honorary chairman of the Council, Edward James Olmos. A tireless and globally-respected social activist on issues affecting the Latino community, Olmos is the first American-born Latino to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his role in the movie Stand and Deliver (1988). Since the launch of the Museum’s fundraising campaign, ¡Adelante! The Mexican Museum Moves Forward, donations have streamed into the Museum from throughout the United States and Mexico. The financial support of the community continues to be needed to ensure that The Mexican Museum achieves its proper place in the vital San Francisco/Bay Area arts arena. “People can support the Museum by becoming members or by upgrading their current membership levels to the new Builder’s Society level,” said Museum director, David J. de la Torre. “The Builder’s Society membership category enables individuals, businesses and organizations to support the museum for $1 a day.”

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR A spacey sound united by groovy R&B and bassist/vocalists Stephen Bruner’s voice are a reverberating introduction to Thundercat’s new album, Apocalypse (Brainfeeder Records). To understand the interesting blend of rock, pop, electro, R&B and soul is understanding a bit about the intricacies of Stephen Bruner’s eclectic career. As a bassist/vocalist/songwriter based in LA he has performed with such artists as Suicidal Tendencies, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu and Snoop Dogg. His influences seem to range from funk, jazz, rock and soul music and it’s evident in his style that raw energy and precision are two things that go together well. This album will mark his second studio release after 2011’s
Buenos Aires NOTIMEX La actriz argentina Dolores Fonzi descartó hoy una próxima boda con el actor mexicano Gael García Bernal, al considerar que es suficiente el compromiso que tienen entre ellos y con sus dos hijos. “Casarse es raro, es un mandato que te meten en la cabeza desde chiquita y no sé si tiene tanto sentido”, dijo Fonzi a la revista argentina “Luz”, en su edición de esta semana. La actriz explicó que, a veces, cuando se les cruza la idea del matrimonio, ella concluye que no puede sentirse más “casada” de lo que ya está. “Tengo dos hijos y un compromiso enorme más importante que cualquier libreta (de

Resonating drums, brooding electronic rhythms and continuous beeps follow through into funky rock-propelled jam sessions like Lotus and the Jondy which are ripe

Aunque reconoció que “la idea de la fiesta me entusiasma un poco más”, consideró que en este momento no tiene ni ganas ni energía para planearla. “Quizá cuando los chicos tengan 15 años diga que sí y haga una celebración en la que bailemos todos juntos twist”, ironizó. Al ofrecer detalles de su vida en pareja al lado de García Bernal, Fonzi afirmó que disfrutan los frecuentes viajes al exterior que realiza toda la familia, debido principalmente a la carrera internacional del mexicano.“La experiencia de viajar en familia es magnífi-

Sobre la posibilidad de volver a trabajar juntos, como ya lo hicieron en la película “Vidas privadas” y en la serie “Soy tu fan”, la actriz dijo que le gustaría, pero deben esperar a que sus hijos, Lázaro y Libertad, crezcan. “Otra opción sería que actúen los dos en la película o programa que hagamos, un ?reality show?, por ejemplo”, planteó en tono de broma, aunque enseguida aclaró que llevan una vida tan normal y aburrida, por lo que el programa sería “aburridísimo”.

Summer has arrived and many people will be heading outdoors to exercise. Some will run, others will ride their bikes and others will hike. There will also be some who will seek alternative forms of exercise. One of these forms is Parkour.
