Mosquitoes infected with West Nile Virus prompts fogging treatments in San Jose Earlier this week authorities and health officials began early stages of fogging treatments in areas of San Jose (based off zip codes) where mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV). To prevent the spread to human hosts the Santa Clara County Vector Control District (SCCVCD) confirmed that they would be mosquito-fogging treatments around the affected areas. WNV causes mild to severe flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, and, in severe cases, significant neurological damage or even death. Since WNV arrived in California in 2003, 3,625 people across the State have contracted the disease, and 130 of those cases were fatal. Information packets to the affected areas will be distributed this week before the fogging.

Marcha para la comunidad del East Side apoya seguridad en las calles Este año ha habido fatalidades de niños y ancianos en las calles de San José. Muchos de estos accidentes han sido en la región de el Este de la ciudad, cruzando la calle. El barrio de el Este de San José se une esta semana para marchar a lo largo de Alum Rock Ave. Y hacer llegar el mensaje a los conductores, ciclistas y peatones que todos tenemos un papel que desempeñar para hacer nuestras calles más seguras. Esperan educar a toda la comunidad que la seguridad nos exige a todos asumir la responsabilidad en la carretera. Este proyecto está financiado por el Departamento de Salud Pública y la Oficina de Seguridad Vial de California, y que será el anfitrión de más eventos a finales de este verano.

Bridge to the Future benefit to benefit the San Jose/Evergreen Community College DistrictThe San José/Evergree Community College District (SJECCD) Foundation will host the second annual Bridge to the Future benefit luncheon on Thursday, August 22 in the Corinthian Grand Ballroom at the Silicon Valley Athletic Club. This year’s keynote speaker is educator Patrick Camangian, Ph.D. The event will benefit the SJECCD foundation that promotes the benefits of financial aid to help students get through post-secondary education. According to Vice Chancellor Carol Coen, “of the students who initially enroll in college but do not continue, 33.33% state that a lack of finances played a key role;11.11% cite conflicts between trying to work and go to school; 39% state they could not afford child care services; and7% said they could not afford public transportation.” The goal of the benefit is to raise awareness and money towards students whose lives can be immensely affected by going to college.

Many today labor for minimum wages which do not enable them to pay for the necessities of living a simple life style. Too many managers and executives treat skilled labor as if it were a commodity to be obtained at the lowest wage possible. Human Resources managers need to try to impress upon their executive leadership that having a stable labor force that can do the job and make a living while earning their keep is an excellent objective.

Labor relations have not changed much over the centuries. One can go to Galatians 6:1-16 where biblical phrases such as “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” “You will reap whatever you have sown.” “So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up”.

As proposed by Maslow’s Hierarchy of human needs, laboring folks need to earn ‘living wages’ which permit them to pay for food, clothing, shelter, education & training (to keep skills and knowledge current); have a sense of security and safety in their community; be able to be part of relationships; and be able to communicate effectively. Note that this level of living is simply basic.

It does not allow for discretionary spending for entertainment, hobbies, involvement in a sport, and ‘eating out at a good restaurant’.

rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? How is a group of humans treated like a commodity that can be obtained at ‘market values’ and discarded when not needed? Evidence of how that happens each year is seen during the formation of annual budget proposals.

Some executives and elected officials focus on ‘budget numbers’ rather than the level of services and quantities of various materials needed by constituents. Some focus on imaginary ‘savings’ when the budget numbers are adjusted to meet projections of revenues.

A common observation which repeats itself every budget cycle is the loss of perspective. An annual budget is a projection based upon many assumptions.

As always, some are irrelevant; others are optimistic, overstated, understated, and in total error.

Folks must keep in mind that many projects are the result of the innovative, reactive, and imaginary constructs within the mind of a management analyst. An experienced analyst invariably projects a future improved social and economic state as a desired objective.

Today’s domestic economy is not very vibrant exhibiting very slow growth rates.

Today, too few of the laboring class are members of an union which negotiates important issues such as job site safety, wages, pensions, medical benefits and training programs. The individual worker is at a disadvantage when dealing alone with the corporate representative whose goal is to maximize profits for the firm’s shareholders.

Union’s membership is quite low today and their collective bargaining is being curtailed within jurisdictions wherein conservative elected of-

ficials have majority control along with political influence and authority.

What union leaders/negotiators, business executives and management all need to understand is the incentive system of the capitalistic marketplace. Money in an economy needs to circulate; products and services need to be produced, shipped, marketed/promoted and ‘sold’ to the ultimate consumer. This whole cycle is always in a dynamic state of equilibrium which is constantly changing. The money must be ‘followed’ and public policy must see that it gets fairly distributed to all who labor or invest.

Today too many do not understand these economic cycles which determine if jobs are available or if investments earn a profit. One thing is very clear in today’s economy: Too many wealthy individuals have removed their money from the marketplace because opportunities to make money are not there.

That means too few jobs so the laboring class struggles to get by on minimum income levels. Both end up with challenging cash flows. The wealthy need to release more of that wealth to fund enterprises which may generate profits and jobs which pay the Laborer a ‘living wage’.

The working class laborer has a propensity to spend earnings on essentials. By understands cash flow and business cycles, it is easier to understand that when laborers are paid a living wage, the domestic economy will thrive and all will receive some return on their invested money. All who labor merit a living wage which will more likely result in a dynamic vital economy this nation sorely needs today.

Congresista Mike Honda D-17, SAN JOSE, CA Estoy entusiasmado por el movimiento de un proyecto de ley de reforma migratoria bipartidista y amplia en el Senado. Este es un gran paso para honrar el legado de nuestra nación como una tierra de oportunidades.

Pero este es solo el comienzo.

Yo voy a luchar para proteger medidas que incluyan e impacten positivamente a nuevos ciudadanos y su integración al país, y a la vez me mantendré vigilante de medidas que amenacen nuestra justicia y derechos civiles.

Como líder principal del Grupo de Trabajo de Inmigración, del Caucus AsiaPacífico Americano del Congreso, voy a seguir trabajando para promover una reforma migratoria que reconozca las contribuciones y

el trabajo arduo de todos los nuevos y futuros ciudadanos.

Yo soy hijo de trabajadores de campo-recolectores de fresas en San José, y por lo tanto respeto profundamente las experiencias y desafíos de los trabajadores agrícolas - un grupo usualmente formado por inmigrantes en este país.

Cualquier proyecto que surja de la Cámara de los Representantes debe proporcionar un camino a la ciudadanía y proteger los derechos de los trabajadores para organizarse y mejorar sus salarios y condiciones de trabajo.

También, voy a luchar para que el concepto de “familia,” finalmente sea definido de manera comprensiva. La familia es la unidad básica de nuestra sociedad. Las familias inmigrantes fortalecidas abren negocios, crean empleos, y contribuyen al éxito de nuestra nación. En ambos lados del debate, mis colegas

3

están de acuerdo que los valores familiares son esenciales para construir la estructura moral, social y económica de nuestra sociedad. Es indispensable que nos mantengamos fieles a una visión común de preservar y fortalecer nuestras familias, y por lo tanto, fomentar nuestra prosperidad económica.

Por último, un programa justo y humano para nuestros trabajadores visitantes debe ser una parte fundamental de lo que el Presidente decida convertir en ley. Los trabajadores visitantes fortalecen nuestros sectores agrícolas y de servicios, y - una vez más contribuyen a la prosperidad económica de nuestra gran nación.

Sólo mediante la creación de un camino hacia la reforma migratoria verdaderamente integral podemos forjar una unión más perfecta.

to King and Alum Rock—a known crash hotspot—to get the safety message across to both drivers and pedestrians.

With a stubborn culture of jaywalking in the Eastside, organizers felt it was important to also include educational messages targeted toward pedestrians.

Tony Dang CALIFORNIA WALKS As summer days and nice weather draw more people out onto the streets, seniors in East San Jose want everyone—drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians—to follow the rules of the road to prevent needless death and tragedy.

Drivers along Alum Rock Ave. in the Mayfair neighborhood often perform dangerous maneuvers, routinely exceed the speed limit, and fail to yield to pedestrians— creating an unwelcoming environment for walking.

And while driver misbehavior is only an inconvenience for most, for older adults

and children it’s a matter of life and death. With funding from the California Department of Public Health and the Office of Traffic Safety, California WALKS, Eastside Neighborhood Center (Catholic Charities), and AGEnts for Change are empowering residents to raise community awareness about the dismal

state of pedestrian safety: in California, someone walking is injured or killed every single hour. Armed with picket signs and banners reading “Drive Like Our Lives Depend On It” and “Stay Alert.

Stay Alive” in English and Spanish, two dozen seniors from the Eastside Neighborhood Center marched

In addition to community education events, seniors at the Eastside Neighborhood Center have been working with city officials to request simple, cost-effective engineering improvements to make walking in the neighborhood safer, including more visible traffic warning signs, “senior crossing“ signs, improved crosswalk markings, and increased enforcement of the existing speed limit (35 mph). Seniors at the Center have been particularly vocal to the city officials and staff that they want to see speeds reduced to 25 mph,

not only around the Eastside Neighborhood Center but also around all senior centers, community centers, and schools. While this may seem like such a small change, “lowering the speed—and accompanying the change with proper enforcement—will save lives,” says Tony Dang, Deputy Director of California WALKS. “Speed kills. At 40 mph, a person hit while walking faces a 95% likelihood of death, yet only a 5% chance of death at 20 mph.

The odds of death only go up for our most vulnerable walkers: seniors, children, and people with disabilities.”

SAN FRANCISCO 100% Pure is staying true to its name: The all-vegan personal-care company, which has been on PETA’s list of companies that don’t test on animals since 2005, is the latest business to confirm to PETA that it will not market its products in China.

The Chinese government currently requires cosmetics and personal-care companies to pay for archaic product tests on animals in order to market their products in that country. Countless rabbits, mice, and rats are poisoned, mutilated, and killed in these cruel tests, which are now banned in the EU, India, and Israel.

For refusing to put profits over principles, San Jose, Calif.-based 100% Pure will

receive PETA’s Courage in Commerce Award. It joins the growing list of compassionate companies that have publicly pledged not to enter the Chinese market until the government’s requirements for cruel tests on animals are lifted. This list includes top names in beauty and personal care, such as Urban Decay, NYX, Paula’s Choice, The Body Shop, Jack Black, and Yes To Carrots.

Paul Mitchell Systems, Dermalogica, Pangea Organics, and Nature’s Gate all pulled out of China in order to stay cruelty-free. The full list of the more than 1,300 companies that don’t test on animals is available on PETA’s website, where consumers can also order their own free copy of PETA’s global Cruelty-Free Shopping Guide to

take with them every time they shop.

“By staying out of China, 100% Pure is living up to its reputation as a conscientious, cruelty-free company,” says PETA Senior Vice President of Laboratory Investigations Kathy Guillermo. “PETA encourages all kind consumers to support the quickly growing list of ethical companies that have pledged never to harm animals anywhere in the world.”

Not all companies are 100 percent dedicated to being cruelty-free: Mary Kay, Avon, Revlon and Estée Lauder, which were on PETA’s list of companies that don’t test on animals for decades, started paying for poisoning tests on animals in order to market their products in China.

precauciones que debería tomar para evitar caer en la trampa:

Cuando apareció el primer identificador de llamadas, para muchos fue como un regalo de Dios: Por fin se podía identificar fácilmente quién estaba llamando e ignorar las llamadas no deseadas, ya sean de telemarketers, un ex novio o una agencia de cobranzas poco amigable.

Por un pequeño costo, las empresas y particulares pueden usar un software de suplantación de identidad que genera llamadas en las que se altera el número telefónico y/o nombre que aparece en la pantalla del identificador de llamadas del receptor.

Pero, como suele ocurrir, pronto comenzaron a aparecer personas inescrupulosas que manipulaban la tecnología para engañar a la gente simulando ser otra persona. Este engaño se llama “suplantación de identidad” y, mal que nos pese, en muchos casos es completamente legal. Así es como funciona la suplantación de identidad y éstas son las

BUSINESS

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

JULY 12 - JULY 18, 2013

La policía, los investigadores privados y las agencias de cobranzas han utilizado los servicios legales de suplantación de identidad por muchos años. Otras de las personas que podrían tener un motivo legítimo para ocultar su identidad al hacer una llamada son las víctimas de la violencia doméstica y los médicos que devuelven las llamadas a sus pacientes pero no quieren que

sepan su número telefónico particular.Más allá de estos casos, las líneas de la legalidad comienzan a borrarse.

La Ley de Veracidad en la Identificación de Llamadas de 2009 prohíbe enviar datos de identificación de llamada confusos o falsos con el objeto de engañar, causar un daño u obtener ilícitamente algo de valor. Los que incurren en estas prácticas pueden ser castigados con multas de hasta $10.000 por cada infracción. Desafortunadamente, estas penas no han logrado disuadir mucho a los estafadores.

Uno de los engaños más comunes es el de los que simulan representar a un banco, un organismo gubernamental, una compañía de seguros o de tarjeta de crédito, o a otra empresa con la que usted está relacionado. Cuentan con que usted

confíe en ellos al reconocer el nombre de la empresa en su pantalla.

Con el pretexto de advertirle sobre alguna situación urgente (la violación de una cuenta, un pago atrasado, un reclamo de seguro pendiente, una citación judicial no respondida, etc.) quien lo llama intentará sonsacarle información personal o de su cuenta, supuestamente para verificar sus registros.

Muchas veces, estas son llamadas automatizadas, en las que una voz grabada le pide que se quede en línea para hablar con un representante o que llame a otro número para más información. No lo haga. Si cree que la llamada podría ser genuina, contáctese usted con la compañía al número de llamada gratuita que aparece en su tarjeta, resumen

de cuenta o en el sitio web de la empresa.Jamás divulgue su número completo del Seguro Social, el nombre de soltera de su madre, el número de su tarjeta de crédito, contraseñas u otros datos privados por teléfono, a menos que haya sido usted quien llamó. Quien reciba esta información podría usarla para acceder a sus cuentas y retirar o transferir dinero, aumentar los límites de crédito o husmear sus actividades recientes, entre otras intrusiones.

Los ladrones de identidad pueden usar su información personal para abrir nuevas cuentas de crédito (ej., tarjetas de crédito, hipotecas o préstamos automotores), crear una nueva identidad o incluso conseguir un trabajo fraudulentamente. Muchas veces, usted ni siquiera se entera de lo sucedido hasta

que alguna agencia de cobranzas, o el IRS, comienza a acosarlo por facturas o impuestos impagos.

Otra de las formas de suplantación de identidad muy común es ingresar al correo de voz de otra persona. Muchos usuarios de teléfonos celulares no se molestan en configurar la contraseña de sus correos de voz y, como muchos de estos sistemas permiten a los usuarios ingresar desde sus propios números telefónicos, un hacker podría obtener fácilmente su número y acceder a sus mensajes.

En resumen: Usted no le daría información personal a un extraño en la calle.

Tome las mismas precauciones con los extraños que lo llaman por teléfono o le piden información en línea.

EDUCATION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

JULY 12 - JULY 18, 2013

New online degree programs in criminal justice and psychology provide students with unique multicultural perspectives San Jose CALIFORNIA The National Hispanic University (NHU) is now offering two new online bachelor’s degree programs, a Bachelors of Arts in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Both programs help students develop the analytical, communication, critical thinking and information literacy skills needed for the workforce, while also providing a multicultural perspective that helps students better understand and serve a wide variety of communities.“Preparing our students to recognize diverse working environments, be sensitive to cultural differences and use those skills to navigate through their profession is critically important,” said Dr. Gladys Ato, provost of NHU. “Our new online programs will not only provide students with

the flexibility and access they need to continue their education, but also the competence and confidence they need to be successful in their careers.”

The new online B.A. in Criminal Justice program is designed to help students develop the skills and knowledge needed for a career in law enforcement, the courts, community agencies and corrections. Students will discover how the criminal justice system operates, analyze major issues at various stages in the system, and learn to apply theoretical approaches to the analysis and development of criminal justice policy in the context of a diverse, multicultural society.

The program emphasizes the influence of the community on criminal behavior and how the community impacts crime and justice.

Students can choose from one of two concentrations

in the criminal justice program: Restorative Justice and Community Change or Crime and Criminology. In the Restorative Justice and Community Change concentration, students will explore theories and best practices for repairing the harm caused by criminal behavior to the victim and community, as well as study modern methods for community protection and proactive crime prevention through community engagement. In the Crime and Criminology concentration, students will examine the impact of drugs, gangs and organized crime on individuals, the community and society, and focus on how to reduce violence and victimization in multicultural communities.

In NHU’s new online B.A. in Psychology program, students can explore the science of human behavior and de-

velopment and its relevance to today’s diverse society.

With a special emphasis on Hispanic populations, the program provides an opportunity to study the unique psychological dynamics of different cultures in order to better understand and serve a wide variety of communities.

This program features two concentrations for students to choose from: Community Psychology and Orga-

nizational Psychology. In the Community Psychology concentration, students explore research and community intervention strategies to address real-world issues relevant to today’s diverse, multicultural populations.

The Organizational Psychology concentration delves into the behavior of individuals and groups in businesses and organizations to determine how to optimize performance and human poten-

tial in the workplace.These new online programs join NHU’s growing portfolio of online degree programs, including a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Early Childhood and Bachelor of Arts in Child Development.For more information on NHU’s programs, please visit www.NHU.edu.

Teaching English to speakers of other languages David Gonzales SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) program at San Jose State University provides one with the skills and knowledge necessary to teach the English language to persons whose first language is not English. The MA TESOL (Master of Arts degree program) is maintained under the academic guidance of Professor Swathi Vanniarajan, Ph.D., the chairperson of the Linguistics and Language Development department. Much more than knowing how to speak English is required in order to capably teach it, and there is much preparation involved. A prime goal for the learner is gainful employment with advancement up the career ladder in one’s profession.

Since English is the language of science, technology, business and our government here in America, it behooves all to know and use it well while not giving up one’s language which is learned at home, usually taught by one’ mother… for that is the language of your history, culture, its core values, morals and traditions which are now part of your identity.

There are many benefits to learning English, as this helps provide the language communication skills needed to participate more fully in the community at large. In addition, there

is a perception, right or wrong, that many Hispanic immigrants do not learn English. The public policy result is opposition to amnesty for undocumented immigrants on the basis of this alone.

Learning English, though, does not mean that one abandons one’s native language or culture. The MA TESOL program stresses the need to respect all languages and cultures. There is no one “best” language or culture.

In fact, an entire class is devoted to this very subject called “Intercultural Communication and Second Language Acquisition.”

Still, when one lives in a community whose dominant language is English, it is helpful to learn it so as to not be deprived of the advantages that come with knowing it. Most communications will be in English, along with the conduct of business and government functions. Job applications are written in English.

Agreements and contracts will be in English. It can be difficult to find translators, and many places won’t spend the time or evenconsideritnecessarytodoso.

A lot is involved in learning English. Both teachers and learners need to be aware that knowing English not only means putting sentences together properly, but also using the appropriate grammar for a given situation. For example, if you ask for something by saying, “Give it to me,” this type of direct statement will upset a lot of people, especially if you don’t know

them very well or the situation isn’t urgent. You will get better results by softening the request with politeness, as in “Would you give that to me, please?”

It is hoped that more Hispanics will consider entering the TESOL field. To be considered for acceptance to SJSU’s Master of Arts TESOL program, a prospective candidate needs at least a 3.0 grade point average in the course work conducted for their bachelor’s degree, along with two letters of recommendation, preferably academic references, though work references may also be submitted.

An applicant’s bachelor’s degree can be in any subject. There is no need to worry about your degree not being relevant to teaching the English language.

It’s no problem if you learned English as a second language, and it can even be an advantage, as you already understand the difficulties involved and can use your past experience to help your students. A demonstrated proficiency in any language, including English, other than your native language is required.

This can be met by completion of the first year of college-level foreign language courses taken before or while enrolled in the MA TESOL program. Learning and knowing a foreign language provides insight into what your students are experiencing.

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA

San Jose CALIFORNIA The Santa Clara County Vector Control District (SCCVCD) confirmed on July 5 that adult mosquitoes collected from the 95123 and 95136 (partial) ZIP code areas of San José tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV).

The detection of mosquitoes infected with WNV prompted a mosquito fogging treatment in the surrounding area, in an effort to prevent human cases of WNV.

“While we’re seeing a slow start to the WNV season this year, the detection of virus in mosquitoes represents a direct risk of human infection,” said Acting District Manager Russ Parman. “Control of infected adult mosquitoes is an essential component of preventing human cases of WNV and other mosquitoborne encephalitis.”

Transmitted by mosquito bites, WNV causes mild to severe flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, and, in severe cases, significant neurological damage or even death. The elderly and those with compromised immune systems are most susceptible. Since WNV arrived in California in 2003, 3,625 people across the State have contracted the disease, and 130 of those cases were fatal.

“It is important for residents to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes whenever they are outdoors, especially during dusk and dawn,” said Scientific / Technical Services Director Dr. Noor Tietze. “People can also help by draining standing water and reporting other

sources of mosquito breeding such as neglected swimming pools.”

Some practical measures against mosquito bites are:

At home:

·DRAIN or DUMP standing water weekly since this is where mosquitoes lay eggs.

Check items such as flowerpots and planter bases, toys, cans, leaky water faucets and sprinklers, rain gutters, buckets, pools, ponds, and old tires. ·Make sure your DOORS and windows have tight-fitting screens.

Outdoors:

·Limit outdoor activities during DUSK & DAWN to prevent mosquito bites.

Those are the times when the mosquitoes that transmit WNV are most active.

If you need to go outside at dusk or dawn, or are in an area where mosquitoes are active: ·Dress in long sleeve shirts and long pants, preferably of light colors. ·Apply insect repellent following label instructions.

Always contact the Vector Control District if you are being bothered by mosquitoes or know of a potential mosquito-breeding source.

Dead birds may indicate the presence of WNV. The District has recently completed its new laboratory, which allows in-house testing for WNV and other vectorborne diseases throughout the year. The District asks Santa Clara County residents to report crows, jays, or birds of prey that have been dead for less than 48 hours and do not appear to have died because of an injury. People who find those birds should call the State of California WNV hotline at 877-WNVBIRD (2473) or at www. westnile.ca.gov

Residents can visit the District’s website at www.sccvector.org to read the latest alerts about WNV activity in the County, and request advice or services.

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION It can take a variety of forms: cutting, burning, head banging, self-hitting.

Usually it’s an adolescent, intentionally hurting himself or herself. It’s a form of behavior that’s difficult for most people to understand, but one that is more common than many people realize. University studies have found that intentional selfinjury has been a practice for some 15% of the population.

Mental health professionals categorize this type of behavior as nonsuicidal selfinjury (NSSI). The goal of this type of self-injury is not to cause death, but rather is motivated by one or more of several possible emotional situations.

A self-injuring person may be someone having trouble controlling their emotions.

They may not be able to un-

derstand and handle the feelings that occur when something stressful happens, and they react to this stress by using self-injury as a way to relieve or mask their emotional pain.

In other cases, someone may feel numb and incapable of experiencing normal emotions. They may use selfinjury as a means for at least feeling something.

Professional counselors find that many people who are practicing self-injury are reluctant to talk about it. They may feel ashamed of their actions, or confused about why they are doing this to themselves. The result, according to studies, is that most individuals who perform NSSI do not seek the help of a professional counselor.

Instead, most individuals who receive counseling help do so as a result of being referred by others who care about them, including family members, friends, teachers

Fiebre La fiebre ayuda al organismo a combatir las infecciones, y no siempre es necesario darle tratamiento. Pero a veces, y especialmente en recién nacidos, puede ser grave.

Una temperatura de 100.4 grados o superior en un bebé menor de dos meses, debe reportarse inmediatamente al médico, quien seguramente le preguntará si el bebé está comiendo, orinando y dur-

or doctors. Those who do seek out help on their own have often reached a state of desperation, feeling out of control and realizing that they are becoming more at risk.

Seeking help for NSSI, or assisting someone you know who is self injuring to get professional help, can bring significant benefits.

While self-injury by itself is a difficult behavior to end for many individuals, a professional counselor can help the individual understand and deal with the issues that are at the root of the problem.

Often these are past emotional traumas from the person’s life that the counselor can help the client recognize and address.

Nonsuicidal self-injury can be a frightening thing to discover in someone you care about, but it is a treatable condition. Getting that person the needed professional counseling can help set him or her on the road to a happier, more productive life.

miendo adecuadamente. No le dé nunca medicamentos ni remedios caseros al bebé sin consultar previamente con el pediatra.

Históricamente, la forma más precisa de determinar la temperatura de la parte central del cuerpo del bebé es usar un termómetro rectal.

Sin embargo, en la actualidad muchas consultas médicas y hospitales usan un tomógrafo para la frente como el Exergen TemporalScanner.

Con un solo pase se obtiene una lectura rápida y exacta en dos segundos.

Varios estudios revelan que los termómetros de la arteria temporal son tan exactos como los métodos más invasivos para tomar la temperatura, como el rectal, evitan el estrés que pudiera provocarse en el bebé, e incluso también sirven para uso en adultos.

Busque atención médica inmediata y llame al 911 si su bebé tiene dificultad para respirar o su piel adopta una coloración azul. No vacile en llamar al pediatra si: * La piel del bebé adopta un color amarillo o sospecha la existencia de ictericia * Las excretas del recién nacido tienen un color rojo, blanco o negro (aparte de la primera evacuación fecal del recién nacido, de coloración negra)

* El niño tiene catarro o tos persistente, o si vomita (aparte de los conocidos “buches”) * El bebé está inusualmente incómodo, soñoliento o no se despierta para que lo amamante * El bebé no orina demasiados pañales (deben ser seis o más diarios después de los 6 días de nacido)

Los proveedores de atención médica se complacerán en ofrecerle consejos y e infundirle confianza cuando tenga inquietudes con respecto a cualquier problema de salud de su recién nacido.

Los proveedores de atención médica quieren que el bebé esté sano - y que los padres se sientan confiados - para que puedan disfrutar esta etapa especial con ese niño precioso que acaba de llegar a sus vidas.

Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR On Monday, July 8, Santa Clara County District 2 candidates Teresa Alvarado and Cindy Chavez met to discuss different public policy issues and why they would like to be elected as District 2’s Supervisor. The forum was held at the Fiesta Hall at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds.

“This has been a ‘long’, short three and a half month campaign. I have talked to many constituents in the District 2 community in this short time,” Alvarado said. “I am running because I do not believe in this ‘business as usual’ way of doing things in this district. Something has to change.”

Cindy Chavez is running because she believes her experience working with several organizations located within Silicon Valley will help move the District 2 in the direction that it needs to go.

The candidates were asked several questions by those who attended the forum, including, “what could be done to bring in more revenue to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds?” Both candidates had a similar response.

“We need to look into how we can bring attractive and popular events such as concerts to the fairgrounds to increase revenue,” Chavez said.

“I would engage the community to get some ideas on this issue,” Alvarado said.

The issue of homelessness was also a concern for those who attended.

“The county has been working on this issue, but not as hard as it should be,” Alvarado said. “We need to come together on this issue and find a way to provide services that will help people get out of homelessness.”

Chavez’s respond to the question was, “There have been several organizations working on this issue, but all have come up with different solutions. If I am elected, I would gather the best ideas from these organizations and use them to take on the homelessness issue.”

Another issue discussed was that of public transportation.

Both candidates agreed that more was needed to be done to bring in more resources into this sector.

Bringing the Athletics to San Jose was also another

issue that both candidates believed would help bring in more revenue into San Jose and Santa Clara County.

“However, I would like to minimize the public investment and promote it as a private investment,” Chavez said.

Finally, the candidates were asked if they would help their opponent on different issues should they lose the election.

“I helped Cindy on her run for Mayor and I will help her succeed as Supervisor if she wins,” Alvarado said.

“I have collaborated with my opponents in the past and I will continue to do so if I lose this election.” Chavez said.

A key issue that was not addressed would be the review of all existing pension plans for the purpose of defining the level of retirement obligations being accrued and for which no funding has been allocated. This could be a major obligation in the future.

Last day to register to vote is July 15. If you have moved, changed your name or political affiliation, you must reregister to vote.

Election day is July 30 from 7am to 8pm.

Questions from the Sky: New Work by Hung Liu Now - September 29, 2013 San Jose CALIFORNIA

Hung Liu is one of the most beloved artists represented in San Jose Museum of Art’s collection. Liu is known primarily for her paintings, which are drawn from Chinese historical photography.

She has recently been working on a three-screen video

installation based on digital snapshots that she takes with her iPhone. Liu meditates on death and memory in the video through five seemingly simple sets of images: burning candles; dead birds and deer; Buddha’s hand fruits; and cloud formations in the sky. For Liu, the images provoke questions of how we remember those who have passed and how images or

moments in daily life give us notice of their presence.

The San Jose Museum of Art is located at 110 South Market Street in downtown San Jose, California. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 AM to 5 PM and until 8 PM on the third Thursday of each month.

NORTEAMÉRICA: FEROZ, SORPRENDENTE, INCREÍBLE Miami FLORIDA De los productores de “Planeta Tierra” y “Vida”, Discovery en Español estrena NorteAmérica, un evento televisivo sin precedentes para redescubrir una de las regiones más diversas, feroces y espectaculares del planeta. Dividida en cinco episodios, la serie lleva a los televidentes en una aventura increíble y sorprendente para conocer más de cerca el lugar en el que vivimos. La serie comienza su viaje en Discovery en Español el lunes 15 de julio y hasta el viernes 19 de julio a las 8PM E/ P.

Producida a lo largo de tres años, y narrada por el destacado presentador mexicano Javier Poza, NorteAmérica explora 29 estados de Estados Unidos y recorre desde las tundras heladas de Canadá hasta los desiertos de México. Cada noche, los televidentes podrán visitar

lugares tan diversos como Los Everglades, las costas de California, el Gran Cañón del Colorado, las Montañas de la Sierra Nevada o el Desierto de Sonora, entre otros, para conocer su majestuosa geografía, vegetación y los animales que allí habitan y que luchan por sobrevivir el implacable clima y el escabroso terreno.

“Estamos muy orgullosos de poder ofrecerle a nuestra audiencia una serie épica donde exploramos la tierra en la que vivimos y que no necesariamente conocemos, aun cuando está en nuestro patio.

Es una invitación a conocer íntimamente y como nunca antes esta tierra impredecible, diversa y de condiciones extremas que muchos llamamos hogar”, expresó Bilai Joa Silar, vicepresidente de contenido de Discovery en Español.

Los cinco episodios de NorteAmérica exploran costas,

desiertos, naturaleza salvaje, condiciones climáticas y maravillas de esta región. La serie incluye un capítulo especial con imágenes ‘detrás de cámaras’ para mostrar el proceso de creación de esta súper producción. El ‘making of’ se transmitirá el domingo 21 de julio a las 10PM E/P.

Para la realización de la serie, el equipo de producción pasó 2,830 días en locaciones en 250 expediciones separadas, y utilizó once tipos de cámaras diferentes para filmar cerca de 110 especies de animales y más de 850 horas de material. La producción empleo cámaras ultra rápidas y equipos de visión nocturna que permitieron capturar comportamientos de animales nunca antes mostrados en televisión, como el elusivo jaguar en México o un oso pardo sumergiéndose a más de 20 pies bajo el agua para capturar salmones en Alaska.

Circuito de arte rinde homenaje a Olga Costa México (NOTIMEX) Numerosas exposiciones en diversos recintos y galerías de Guanajuato, integran un circuito de arte con el que se rinde homenaje a la pintora alemana nacionalizada mexicana Olga Costa (1913-1993), a quien se recuerda a 100 años de nacimiento que se conmemora este 28 de agosto.

Titulado “Homenaje a Olga Costa” el circuito de arte se integra por 59 exposiciones que son albergadas por 42 museos y galerías de Guanajuato, informó Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (Conaculta).

En esta actividad conmemorativa, el público puede recorrer diversos recintos, tales como: el Museo Regional Alhóndiga de Granaditas, la Casa Diego Rivera, el Taller-

Galería “El Pinche Grabador”, la Galería Camposanto, el Viejo Zaguán, la Artlalli, la Fonda del Artista y la Casa Cuatro.

Asimismo, participan los museos “Olga Costa-José Chávez Morado”, Iconográfico del Quijote, Gene Byron, el Ex Convento Dieguino, el patio de la Casa de la Cultura de Guanajuato y K N Galería Estudio.

Olga Costa, quien nació el 28 de agosto de 1913 en Leipzig, Alemania, en 1925 emigró con su familia a México, en donde estudió una breve temporada en la Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas al lado del artista de origen guatemalteco Carlos Mérida (1891-1984).

Luego de contraer matrimonio con el pintor mexicano José Chávez Morado

(1909- 2002) radicó en Xalapa, Veracruz, estado en el que continuó su autoformación como pintora.

De acuerdo con la biografía de la artista publicada en el portal en Internet “artshistory.mx”, en 1945 presentó su primera exposición individual en la Galería de Arte Mexicano y a partir de ese año se evocó a su producción pictórica.

De manera constante exhibió su obra en la Galería de Arte Contemporáneo y participó en las principales muestras de arte mexicano presentadas en el país y en el extranjero.

Los últimos días de su vida, que se extinguió el 28 de junio de 1993, trascurrieron en Guanajuato.

JULY 12 - JULY 18, 2013 (BPT) La mirada del “ jet-set” es el glamour, la ostentación, la moda y, por supuesto, el viaje. Los diseñadores están mostrando el estilo este verano para dar a las mujeres la sensación de que estamos viviendo el estilo de vida relajado y de lujo de Cannes, St. Tropez, Capri o Palm Springs.

Con sólo un poco de estilo, las mujeres pueden lograr fácilmente este look fresco y bañada por el sol parece inspirado en la moda de la década de 1950 y 60.

“Las mujeres les encanta el estilo jet-set en esta temporada, ya que las líneas limpias y clásicas evocan un poco de la época de Kennedy, al tiempo que permite a las mujeres para individualizar su estilo para mostrar más de su personalidad”, dice Janette Ewen, experto en estilo de Pandora, un joyero internacional con puntos de venta en América del Norte.

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR If I have learned anything in my years of following trends and fads, it is that there are only a few things in the fashion world that really stick around. The staying power of some items is such that eventually they become an essential part of everyone’s wardrobe.

From its’ humble beginnings this piece of clothing has come a long ways to transform it into the icon it has become; heck, they’ve even named a stadium after the first company to ever manufacture them. That’s right, I’m talking about jeans.

For over a hundred years jeans have been a staple of the American life. People, from all ages and all walks of life, have made them a part of their wardrobes, consequently catapulting them into world wide popularity.

Maxi vestidos con telas que fluyen de peso ligero que se presentan con un vestuario muy relajado con un elegante toque.

Las opciones de color para los vestidos maxi superiores son de color verde esmeralda, turquesa, azul y fucsia. * Líneas - Limpio y clásico son perfectas para lograr un look jet-set. A la parte superior del barco-cuello de rayas combina con pantalones suaves y un estallido de colores vivos de un pañuelo de cuello es perfecto para un paseo por la playa o visitar el club de campo. Considerar la incorporación de cuero de colores o pulseras de tela de Pandora para añadir variedad a tu look.

At first jeans were used mainly by factory workers, and little by little they started gaining ground until they became a symbol of youth rebellion around the 1950s, which caused some businesses to ban them from their premises. Eventually, jeans gained more acceptance nationwide, and by the 70s they became the staple of casual wear in the US. Nowadays jeans are found in almost every closet in the US, and they are worn by just about everyone no matter their age or social status.

Just like the flavors of ice cream, there is something for everyone. Jeans come in different styles to fit your own style. Some of them are the slim cut, straight leg, boot cut, relaxed, slim straight and others.

The evolution of jeans is such that it has gone from being a symbol of rebellion and relaxation to high fashion. Today you can’t flip

Another factor stacked up in favor of jeans is they are oh-so versatile. You could dress them down and wear the classic jeans and a t-shirt combo and look cool and relaxed, but you could also kick it up a notch and add some fancy shoes and a dressy jacket for a more dressed-up look.

So next time you reach into your closet to grab your favorite pair of jeans, know that they have come a long way from where they started and just like your own style they are going to keep evolving.

(NAPSI) Hectic schedules and increasing demands continue to impact today’s American families, but perhaps one of the strongest barometers of families is family mealtime. Welch’s Kitchen Table Report shows families are stronger than ever—making time to eat together frequently and enjoying sharing quality time as a family.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

Parents surveyed report:

• 75% say that, in an average week, they eat together four or more nights

$5,000 pay raise, lose ten pounds, go on a Caribbean cruise, or get more sleep.

• 71% eat dinner together as often as or more today than their families did when they were children

• 84% say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their family eats together

• 75% eat most meals and snacks in the kitchen as a family

• Nearly 60% would rather spend time with their family or spouse than receive a

“It might feel like family dinner is part of a bygone era,” comments Welch’s Health & Nutrition Advisory Panel member and RD, Sarah-Jane Bedwell. “But parents are making mealtimes a priority in order to share a moment with their children.

JULY 12 - JULY 18, 2013

That’s good news because research has shown an association between regular family meals and improved family nutrition and overall well-being.”

Despite the positive trend, many families still face mealtime challenges. Four-in-ten survey respondents cite the lack of time to cook meals, especially healthy meals, as

a top barrier to family mealtimes.

“There are solutions to combat common mealtime obstacles,” shares Bedwell.

“To help families enjoy more happy and healthy mealtime moments, we created an online toolkit that includes family-friendly meal makeovers, heart-healthy recipes, and more.”

La devoción a San Alejo Mario Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Por tradición popular y decreto eclesiástico, San Alejo ha sido proclamado como el santo potente que vence todo mal, el que aleja lo malo, el que vence la maldad. Son innumerables los testimonios que han dado fe de milagros concedidos por el santo.

JOHN MAYALL RUTHIE FOSTER ROY ROGERS

San Alejo es el santo especialista en alejar lo malo, especialmente problemas económicos, malas compañías, problemas con vecinos, envidias, celos, avaricia, alcoholismo, drogadicción, problemas de adolescentes y malas voluntades. Su fecha de conmemoración es el “17 de Julio”.

San Alejo vivió alrededor del siglo V, era hijo de un senador romano. A los 20 años de edad comprendió que necesitaba vivir una experiencia espiritual lejos de la pompa y riqueza que le rodeaba, decidiendo servir a Dios en la mayor humildad.

Salió de Roma con rumbo a Edesa disfrazado de mendigo. En Siria se dedicó por más de 17 años a la oración y penitencia. Vivía de la caridad y encaminaba a otros a alcanzar la riqueza espiritual, enseñaba las leyes cristianas, hacia todo tipo de obras sociales, alimentaba a los desamparados y procuraba refugio para los animales. Cuando se descubrió que era hijo de

una familia ilustre de Roma, temió que le rindieran honores, por ello regresó a casa de sus padres donde vivió de incógnito por varios años como un sirviente más. Una noche se le presentó un ángel quien le reveló que su partida hacia la vida eterna estaba cerca. A los pocos días enfermó súbitamente, y ya agonizante les reveló a sus padres que era su hijo y que había escogido vivir una vida de penitencia para servir a Dios.

Sus padres le procuraron una muerte en santa paz. A los pocos días de lo ocurrido, cuando el Obispo se enteró del caso, mandó a exhumar el cadáver, pero no se encontraron más que las vestimentas, el cuerpo del santo había desaparecido y nunca fue encontrado. Quienes acudieron al lugar de los hechos y pudieron tocar las vestimentas, dieron fe de haber tenido en días posteriores, sueños reveladores y comenzaron a curarse y a realizar curaciones en nombre del santo. La fama de este suceso se extendió rápidamente por toda la región. Durante siglos se le ha considerado un santo muy milagroso.

“Si siente que una mala vibra le persigue, si siente mala suerte, si sufre altibajos emocionales, si no consigue trabajo, si suele padecer depresión o siente que es víctima de un hechizo, récele una novena San Alejo”.

Todas las noches ofréndele una vela blanca y rece la

oración tres veces antes de irse a dormir. Hágalo por cuarenta días. Si lo hace con fe, muy pronto se materializará el milagro que necesita.

Oración Milagroso San Alejo, tú, que tienes el poder de alejar todo lo malo que acecha a los hijos de Dios, te pido que alejes de mí, la maldad, la mentira, la injusticia y el pecado, aleja al que viniese a mí para hacerme daño. Ponme tan lejos de los malos para que jamás me vean. Aleja también las malas influencias que puedan rondar mi hogar. Finalmente acércame a Jesús para que me cubra con su divina gracia y a la gloriosa Virgen María para que ilumine mi camino con la destellante luz de sus ojos misericordiosos.

Amén.

hen Jamie invites a complete stranger to come along on a road trip to the north of Chile with his Chilean friend Champa and two of his younger brothers, he fails to realize that this woman –a fellow American who goes by the name of Crystal Fairy- is ready and willing to accept any invitation that comes her way.

Jamie´s acid and self-absorbed personality clashes with Crystal Fairy´s free and esoteric nature as all five of them head into the Atacama Desert with the concise mission of drinking a San Pedro cactus for mescaline-fueled psychedelic trip. As the journey unfolds and the traveling companions get to know each other better, Jamie must learn that he must be more accepting of others, while Crystal finds the way to accept herself.

hen legions of monstrous alien creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end.

To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge.

But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.

On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.

Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Grabará Saúl Alarcón México (NOTIMEX)

Los Ángeles (NOTIMEX) La actriz y cantante Maite Perroni actuará de nuevo en un festival organizado por una revista, en el que interpretará su nuevo sencillo “Tú y yo”.

De acuerdo con la revista “People en Español”, la presentación de Maite marcará el inicio de su gira como solista por Estados Unidos.

“People en Español es parte de mi vida; es parte de mi historia, son mi familia y es el mejor inicio para una etapa tan importante para mí”, expresó la artista.

Tras anunciar el inicio de su carrera como solista, ha recibido mucho apoyo de sus fans en la Unión Americana, con quienes tendrá su primera cita en el encuentro musical.

“Mis fanáticos son muy importantes. Para mí son una extensión de todo lo que hago. Porque a través de todo este tiempo y de todos estos años he podido crecer con ellos, he podido hacer un equipo y hemos caminado juntos”, sostuvo Perroni.

La actriz mexicana se presentará el 31 de agosto en el Alamodome, para interpretar sus nuevos temas ante miles

de seguidores. “Espero que el público me reciba con el corazón abierto, con muchas ganas de cantar, ganas de bailar, ganas de sentir para poder compartir y disfrutar tanto con ellos de esta nueva etapa”.

El Festival People en Español tendrá lugar en San Antonio, Texas, durante el fin de semana del Labor Day, los días 31 de agosto y 1 de septiembre.

Maite Perroni se encuentra en la promoción de su sencillo “Tu y yo”, el cual también interpretará en la gala de los Premios Juventud, el 18 de julio próximo.

El cantante Saúl “El Jaguar” Alarcón afirmó que grabará a dueto un disco con la cantautora Ana Gabriel, a quien además le hará un homenaje.

En entrevista con Notimex, en los foros de Televisa San Ángel, “El Jaguar de la Banda” destacó que hace dos semanas se reunió con Ana Gabriel en un auditorio de la ciudad de Guadalajara, Jalisco, para comentarle su inquietud de rendirle tributo.

“Es una persona muy sencilla e interesante que me regaló 40 minutos, para externarle mi necesidad de rendirle homenaje a su trayectoria y para invitarla a cantar a dueto en un disco que sería de colección, no sólo para mis seguidores, sino también para los de ella”, expuso el joven cantante de banda sinaloense.

Detalló que sería un homenaje discográfico en dos volúme-

nes: “Además le comenté que quería rendirle el tributo en uno de mis conciertos y hasta ahora el ?sí? es definitivo, sólo falta empatar nuestras agendas”.

Sobre el por qué a Ana Gabriel, el mismo Saúl Alarcón mencionó que después de haberle dado vida en su estilo masculino de canción a los temas “La luna” y “Evidencia”, Ana Gabriel le externó su beneplácito por el trato musical que se les dio a ambas letras.

“De esa química me surgió el deseo de estar con ella en un disco y porque no también en un escenario”, aseveró.Saúl

Alarcón dijo que después de haber sufrido una sinusitis aguda y de haberse sometido a una cirugía, de la cual está recuperado al 90 por ciento, su visión de la vida cambió, por lo que hoy no sólo aseguró su voz y su vida, sino también en forma periódica asiste a los chequeos médicos.

“Quiero que mi sueño de cantar con esta gran mujer se realice, pero sino checo mi salud no quiero que el destino me juegue alguna mala pasada, como lo fue con el problema de la nariz, por ello me he vuelto precavido y me checo cada medio año”, comentó.

A New Dance Party in the South Bay Rocky Rivas & Azucena Rasilla SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR

A new monthly party is making its way to the South Bay every First Friday of the month; the first edition of Pachanghetto took place last night at Slice nightclub (formerly known as Tequila Rox.) Gil Cerezo, the lead singer of Mexican band Kinky, took the turntables by storm, and got everyone to dance. Many people might not know this, but he has been residing in Los Angeles for quite some time now, and during his downtime from performing with Kinky, he takes on DJ gigs around the USA and in

Mexico. Gil’s DJ is an eclectic cocktail of dance beats, that can range from a song

by Kings Of Leon, one by El Chapo De Sinaloa, dance tracks to one of his own. The melodic combination keeps everyone on the dance floor, singing along to every track, while still getting down with crazy dance moves.

When asked about the difference between his DJ gigs in the USA, versus the ones in Mexico, Gil mentioned that in Mexico, the crowd is pleased with more tracks in English.

The crowd in the USA yearns for tracks in Spanish; it is the nostalgia in them he said.

The crowd at Slice nightclub sure seemed to enjoy his

choice of tracks, which were mostly in Spanish. He was upbeat, and friendly towards those in attendance. At the end of his set (and even while spinning), he took the time to take pictures with fans, and mingle with them. It is that humbleness that maintains him and his band mates of Kinky in the top-favorite bands - Kinky will perform at this year’s Viva Fest on September 28th in San Jose.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR On Tuesday, July 9th, the newly renamed SAP Center, (formerly the Hewlett Packard Pavilion), hosted a inauguration event where, among the media outlets and partners, were a couple hundred SAP employees from around the Bay Area.

The event was hosted by Bill McDermott, the Co-CEO of SAP AG, with guest panelists San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, Chairperson and co-founder of SAP AG Professor Hasso Plattner and John Tortora, the Chief Operating Manager for the San Jose Sharks.

SAP (“System Analysis and Program Development”) is a German-based multinational software corporation that was formed in 1972 in Weinheim, Germany. The company has 4 sites in the Bay Area, which include Dublin,

Palo Alto, San Francisco, and Sunnyvale with more than 3,500 total employees.

Within the unveiling in the arena of the SAP Center, the many enthusiastic employees

wore SAP/Sharks branded shirts and cheered as the inauguration ceremony began with the descent of the San Jose Sharks mascot “Sharkie” from above the rafters of the venue down to the stage.

After giving away prizes, and

generally being his lively self, Bill McDermott continued the presentation by outlining the purpose and goals of the union between the City of San Jose and SAP. The emphasis was on community

outreach and becoming the “premier leader for sports and entertainment in the world”, which includes being one of the most innovative in its uses of technology and patron interaction. According to the venues data, the newly

San Jose Giants Edwin Escobar Named California League Pitcher of the Week San Jose CALIFORNIA San Jose Giants left-handed pitcher Edwin Escobar was named California League Pitcher of the Week for the week ending on July 7.

Between July 1 and July 7, Escobar made two starts and did not allow an earned run.

At home on Sunday night, Escobar pitched seven scoreless innings and gave up just four hits while striking out six in the Giants 2-0 victory over the Lake Elsinore Storm. On July 1 in Modesto, he went six innings as San Jose defeated the Nuts 5-3. Escobar has allowed just four earned runs in his last 25 innings.

Acquired by the San Francisco Giants from the Texas Rangers in 2010, Escobar was 7-8 with a 2.96 ERA last season for the Single-A Augusta GreenJackets. With a 2.81 ERA this season and 54 strikeouts in 48 innings, the

Bill McDermott outlined the community importance to a company that has grown in the last couple of decades.

“It’s really hard to do good for the world unless you’re doing well. So in this context the Sharks and SAP have partnered up, and one of the symbols of doing good is we have put together a couple of hundred bicycles that we’re gonna get into the hands of kids that wouldn’t otherwise have them.” The ceremony showed off some of the bikes that were being given away by the Sharks Foundation, and had two children from San Jose elementary and middle schools go up to the stage to be the first to receive their

bikes. After the official ribbon cutting by Mayor Chuck Reed, the panelists spoke the final words as the focus shifted to the volunteers on the other end of the arena.

There, a hundred bicycles in their packaging waited to be built that day. Several children also volunteered to help build bikes for their peers, while Sharkie went around to each build table to help keep everyone humored and entertained.

As of now the venue on 525 West Santa Clara sits without a name on its façade, but in weeks to come will be fashioned with the SAP logo and begin its journey as the SAP Center at San Jose. Hasso Plattner mentioned in the ceremony he’d be delighted to keep the large, “HP” logo, that was at the front of the venue just weeks ago, as a memento.
