This week marks 5-year anniversary of first electric vehicle charging stations in downtown This week ChargePoint CEO Pat Romano and Mayor Chuck Reed celebrated a five-year partnership with the installation of a revolutionary charging station supplied by ChargePoint. San José was one of the first cities nationwide to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, with the very first station installed across from San Jose City Hall in 2008. Since then, Mayor Reed and the City of San José have been at the forefront of efforts to promote electric vehicle technology and make the Bay Area the Electric Vehicle Capital of the World. The newest station will be San José’s 50th such station and one of more than 2,500 in the Bay Area.

AUGUST 09 - AUGUST 15, 2013

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

Each year the U.S. Congress takes a recess which enables going home to meet with constituents. I attended my first meeting of OFA’s (OBAMA FOR AMERICA) spinoff named ORGANIZING FOR ACTION (OFA) which has formed GOOGLE GROUPS to perform advocacy on selected national public policy issues. A meetng was held at a Palo Alto home ostensibly to celebrate President Obama’s birthday on Sunday, August 4th. Josh Wolf, (a Mt. View, CA. resident) convened the group.

The OFA program to be executed during August 2013 while local congress members are ‘at home’ is simple, but direct. The basic idea is to staff phone banks to call selected congress members to present the rationales for support and passage of legislation which establishes policies being promoted by President Obama. The five public policy issues America needs today are: 1) Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act 2013; 2) Stopping Gun Viololence; 3) Deal with Global Climate Change; 4) Support Women’s Right to Choose; and 5) Support Voting Rights for all citizens.

Each of these five public policy issues was assessed “As legislation which could be passed if a small number of ‘congress’s swing votes’ could be influenced” by local resident’s advocacy efforts. It was explained how ‘swinging just five Senate votes’ led to adoption of the current immigration bill to be considered by the House of Representatives when it reconvenes in September 2013. Addressing Comprehensive IRS Tax Re-

form was considered, but not selected, because of current resistance to change existing today. In brief, a sufficient number of ‘swing votes’ did not exist for tax reform, but the above five public policy issues could be passed if a sufficient number of swing votes could be influenced.

Josh explained that the Senate version of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act 2013 bill passed, by a vote of 68 Ayes to 32 Nayes, because of the impact of phone banking upon certain ‘Senate swing votes’. The basic content involved: a) a reasonable schedule & path to citizenship; b) national border security; c) enforcement of existing laws which prohibit employers from hiring undocumented workers; and d) dealing with DREAMERS (undoucmented individuals) who were brought here as minors. Assessments made indicate that perhaps enough swing votes can be influenced in the House of Representatives to pass some version of this Reform Act needed to correct this nation’s broken immigration system.

Josh introduced Daniel who explained the ‘Gun Violence Control issue’. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was the first law that instituted federal background checks on firearm purchasers in America.

The Act, effective on February 28, 1994, was named after James Brady, who was shot during an attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. A national policy on gun control must have: a) an effective purchaser’s background check; b) prohibit high capacity magazines; c) prohibit ownership of assault weapons (assault rifles); and d) provide for effective school safety and security. After the tragic gunning down in Connecticut of 26 individuals, mostly children (December

2012), the NRA has been opposing regulation of hand guns. An additional 55 votes are needed in the House of Representatives to enable passage of an acceptable gun violence control act.

Josh introduced Laurie who spoke on Global Climate Change issues. U.S. Congress members must be convinced to accept scientific climate observations factually establishing that this Earth’s global climate has ,and is, warming.

In addition alternative energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, biological fermentation, hydroelectric, etc.) need modernization supported and developed.

Renewable energy sources are essential. Representative Anna Eshoo (D-CA District 18) is a champion. America must become less reliant on foreign crude oil and become the global leader in development and use of renewable energy sources.

Women’s Right to Choice and Ensuring Citizen Voter Rghts are being dealt with on a state by state basis, as both are ‘State Rights’ jurisdictions. There is a great need to push back on diversions and propaganda being used to slow down or even deter the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). Volunteers are needed to present truthful facts.

This meeting was closed with Wolf noting that monetary contributions will be used within California.

Checks may be mailed to ‘Organizing for Action-California’, 1201 16th Street, NW, Suite 414, Washington, D.C. 20036. Google Organizing for Action-California for more information. All, especially Latinos, are asked to participate as volunteers.

Board approves programs to give transit access to those needing it most San Jose CALIFORNIA Although riding public transportation is a more cost effective travel option than driving a car, the harsh reality is that not everyone has the means to do either here in Santa Clara County. For that reason, along with urging from community and VTA Board members, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) embarked on a study to analyze how best to provide those with very low incomes an economically sustainable way to afford public transit.

and will require funding support from all participating agencies. It is currently being considered as part of the fiscal year 2014 budget process.

Through this analysis, VTA recommended two actions which needed approval by the Board at last night’s meeting, and was done so unanimously. The first involves the existing Universal Pass for Life Improvement from Transportation (UPLIFT) Program. In partnership with the City of San Jose, and Santa Clara County’s Social Services Agency and the Department of Mental Health, UPLIFT provides free quarterly transit passes to case-managed, homeless individuals and those in danger of becoming homeless.

The recommendation allows a 50% increase in the number of available passes from 1,850 to 2,775 per quarter,

The second action taken by the Board was to implement a two-year pilot Transit Assistance Program (TAP) that will help to promote transit use to those who lack the economic means to afford it. With the help of a $1.3 million grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, VTA will make available 24,000 monthly passes over the course of two years (1,000 passes a month for 24 months) at a nominal cost to qualifying lowincome individuals. VTA is partnering with Santa Clara County Social Services Agency and the Emergency Assistance Network to distribute TAP passes, and manage, monitor and evaluate the

pilot program.“The working poor in Santa Clara County often can’t afford public transit and face enormous challenges getting to jobs, school or even to buy food for their families,” said Santa Clara County Supervisor and VTA Board member Dave Cortese – one of many VTA Board members who worked with the organization People Acting in Community Together, or PACT, on this program.

“TAP will ease this burden for low-income residents who can now join other public transit riders across the county.”

“I’m grateful to PACT leaders, including Sandy Hietala and Rev. Dana Bainbridge, for raising our awareness of the urgency of widening transit access for our lowincome neighbors, and I’m proud to have played a role in bringing this idea to fruition,” said Sam Liccardo, San Jose City Councilmember and VTA Board member.

Santa Clara County Library District Users Enjoy as Much as 400 Percent Return on Investment Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA A recent independent study revealed just how valuable the Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD) is to the cities it serves. Commissioned by the District and funded by the Cupertino Library Foundation, the study revealed a return on investment for local residents as high as 400 percent.

“The Cupertino Library Foundation was very pleased to support an independent, objective analysis of the economic value of library services,” said Eno Schmidt, President of the Cupertino Library Foundation. “While we are all library lovers who intrinsically appreciate the District’s contributions to enhancing early literacy, promoting lifelong learning, and other areas of community benefit, it’s very exciting to see such a high return on investment calculation that demonstrates the difference Santa Clara County Library District makes in people’s lives.”

The Return on Investment Study (http://www.sccl.org/ about/roi) was conducted by BERK, a research firm based in Seattle, Washington. Researchers estimated that current District Library services are worth between $83 and $171 million in direct benefits. To calculate the return on taxpayer investment, only easily measured quantifiable items were used by BERK researchers. Items included direct library services, such as the number of print and nonprint materials borrowed by library users, the number of children’s, teen and adult programs offered at District libraries, and user access to technology and reference services. After a valuation was placed on these direct

services, this number was then divided by SCCLD’s operating expenditures in fiscal year 2011-2012 ($33.2 million). Researchers calculated that for every dollar spent by the Library District, the community received between $2.50 and $5.17 in direct benefits.

“Let’s not underestimate the important economic role of the Santa Clara County Library District’s community libraries,” said County of Santa Clara Supervisor Joe Simitian, Delegate for the County Library District Joint Powers Authority. “Not only are they a great resource for adults, they enhance early literacy, which improves the prospects for lifelong success - a benefit to the individual and the community.”

The study also included interviews with key community stakeholders who identified broader community benefits derived from District libraries, such as library users’ increased academic, career and personal achievements resulting from the life-long use of library resources. Stakeholder interviews identified five key community benefits derived from library services: early literacy and youth education; public access to information and technology; personal recreation and quality of life; lifelong learning and personal growth; and building and bridging diverse communities.

When these types of intangible benefits are factored in with quantified benefits, SCCLD communities garner an even higher return on investment. Stakeholders also noted that that access to library resources improved health outcomes and reduced medical costs to both individuals and society. Located in the midst of Silicon Valley, the

Santa Clara County Library District is committed to providing residents with the latest in new technology. Many District residents still rely on community libraries for access to computer resources and free Internet services.

SCCLD offers free computer usage for cardholders and free wireless access for all visitors, and an impressive collection of electronic resources and databases.

People of all ages rely on SCCLD resources. A wide range of early literacy and reading programs are available at each community library to support families and local public and private schools.

The Reading Program helps improves reading, writing, and literacy skills; electronic resources on the Library’s web site facilitate writing resumes and searching for jobs.

Older adults benefit from valuable District resources, including the PlaneTree Health Information Center for reliable health and medical information.

“Many of these community benefits are extremely important but were not calculated as part of the study because they cannot be easily quantified,” said City of Campbell Council Member Jason Baker, Vice Chair of the SCCLD JPA Board. “All of these services directly promote lifelong learning and personal growth and help bridge gaps between diverse communities. If we could quantify these benefits, the return on investment figure would be even higher. This study shows that owning a Santa Clara County Library District library card is definitely the best deal in town.”

San Jose CALIFORNIA The East Side Union High School District on July 11, 2013, successfully refinanced bonds from Measure G, approved by voters in March 2002, resulting in $7.7 million in savings to taxpayers over the next 16 years. “Our Board is always looking for opportunities to provide savings to our taxpayers,” stated Board President Frank Biehl.

The process is similar to refinancing a home loan: District borrowed money at today’s lower interest rates to pay off bonds that carried higher interest rates. All of the savings from the refinancing will be passed on

borrowed bond funds. In mid-June, school officials met with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service to present the District’s profile. The result was a rating upgrade from Standard and Poor’s from an “A” to an “A+“, as well as confirmation of their very strong “Aa2” rating from Moody’s.

“The bond rating upgrade recognizes ESUHSD’s prudent fiscal management.

This will save millions of dollars in interest on future bond issues,” explained Superintendent Chris Funk.

The savings will begin to be realized beginning with the 2013-14 property tax rolls set by the County of Santa Clara.

to ESUHSD’s taxpayers in the form of lower property taxes. The District took advantage of an unprecedented low interest rate environment to refinance $80 million of outstanding general obligation bonds, reducing the interest rate on the outstanding loan from 5.00% to 4.18%. It also replaced existing Capital Appreciation Bonds with lower costing Current Interest Bonds.

As part of the recent sale, the District requested a financial review from two national credit rating agencies. Similar to a consumer, when a school district receives a better credit score, they have the ability to obtain better interest rates and ultimately reduce the cost of

San Jose CA LIFORNIA Somos Mayfair’s Board of Directors announced the upcoming departure of its Executive Director, Jaime Alvarado. After thirteen years of inspired service, Alvarado has decided to leave Somos Mayfair this fall.

Throughout his tenure, he has demonstrated strong, visionary leadership first as a Program Director and then as the Executive Director.

“We are extremely grateful to Jaime for his years of hard work, his passion for Somos’ mission, and his commitment to this community. Under Jaime’s leadership, Somos Mayfair has developed a clear vision and path for building community power in the Mayfair neighborhood, and he leaves the organization in excellent shape,” stated Me-

lissa Morris, Board Chair.

Alongside staff and community members, Alvarado has developed a strong and stable organization that is doing important work aimed at closing the achievement gap in 3rd grade reading at Cesar Chavez Elementary School.

Currently, over 50 Promotores are leading 100% of Somos Mayfair’s programmatic activities. In just one year of launching the En Nuestras Manos/In Our Hands campaign, there have already been gains in school readiness and early literacy skills amongst Mayfair children, and increased practices of literacy.

Somos Mayfair is focused on creating an impactful and replicable model that can be applied in other low-income immigrant communities.

The funding community has rallied around its innovative campaign, bringing Somos Mayfair significant grants.

Somos Mayfair’s Board of Directors has named the current Associate Director, Camille Llanes-Fontanilla, Interim Executive Director. Together, the Board and Llanes-Fontanilla will determine the best next steps to ensure program effectiveness, strategic growth and strong financial health. Llanes-Fontanilla has a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from San Jose State University, extensive executive management training, and eight years of non-profit management experience. As the Associate Director, she co-led the development and implementation of the In Our Hands Campaign, and secured over $4.2M in funding since she joined Somos Mayfair in 2010. Board, staff, and community leaders are confident in Llanes-Fontanilla’s abilities and leadership.

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY Al presupuestar los gastos de la vuelta al colegio, los padres suelen incluir los gastos de rutina, como la ropa, los útiles escolares y, tal vez, una mochila nueva. Pero si sus hijos realizan actividades extracurriculares, ya sea algún deporte, clases de música o de arte, si no es cuidadoso, podría tener que pagar cientos –o incluso miles—de dólares en gastos adicionales a lo largo del año.

Como padres, no queremos coartar las iniciativas deportivas o artísticas de nuestros hijos, especialmente cuando nos cuesta tanto alejarlos de sus iPods y xboxes. Pero a veces tenemos que dar un paso atrás, estudiar las diferentes opciones que tenemos y decidir qué podemos pagar sin que afecte a nuestras otras metas y responsabilidades financieras.

Tendrá que enfrentarse a preguntas difíciles, como “¿Qué es mejor para el futuro de mi hijo, gastar $500 en clases de fútbol que va a disfrutar mucho o invertir el dinero en un Plan de Ahorros Universitarios 529?”

Mi esposa y yo solemos lidiar con este tipo de cuestiones. Por ejemplo, el otoño pasado el equipo de béisbol de nuestro hijo le quedó chico y nos rogó que le compráramos un bate nuevo que nos costó $125. Un año más tarde, el bate quedó en el banco de suplentes porque prefiere usar el de un amigo.

(Pero no siempre le damos el gusto: Cuando hace poco se obsesionó con un par de zapatillas de última generación que costaba $200, le dijimos que no).

Uno de los mejores consejos que recibí de otros padres es que cuando tus hijos están explorando nuevas activi-

dades, no hay que dedicarle demasiado tiempo o dinero hasta saber si realmente les gusta o la cambiarán rápidamente por otra.

para otros, como la equitación, el golf o el patinaje sobre hielo, se necesitan equipos caros o alquilar instalaciones costosas.

Por ejemplo, antes de gastar una fortuna en clases de natación particulares, empiece de a poco con clases de verano en su YMCA local o centro recreativo. Si su hijo demuestra tener una aptitud genuina y soporta las largas horas de práctica, entonces podrá explorar otras alternativas más costosas. Solo recuerde quién deberá llevarlo a las clases y a los encuentros de natación fuera de la ciudad; en otras palabras, asegúrese de poder cumplir con su compromiso horario antes de aceptar.

Alquile o compre equipos (o instrumentos musicales) usados hasta estar seguro de que sus hijos continuarán realizando la actividad. Visite las tiendas Play It Again, los sitios web como Craigslist y las ventas de garaje.

Estos son algunos consejos para dar prioridad a las actividades extracurriculares y reducir los costos:

Probablemente sea mejor invertir en equipos de protección nuevos, como cascos y máscaras, en lugar de comprarlos usados –y posiblemente dañados. Lo mismo ocurre con las zapatillas o los guantes de béisbol, que suelen adoptar la forma del cuerpo del niño –a menos que tengan poco uso.

Enfóquese en un solo deporte o actividad por hijo y por temporada, especialmente si son muchas clases o juegos por semana.

Haga “pool” con otros padres para llevar y traer a los niños. Así ahorrará combustible y tiempo, especialmente si sus hijos realizan actividades en lugares diferentes.

Infórmese sobre el equipo que necesitará y cuántas clases tendrá. Algunos deportes, como el fútbol o el básquet pueden ser relativamente económicos; mientras que

HEALTH

(StatePoint) Entre comprar nuevos útiles escolares y tener junta con los profesores de sus hijos, la temporada de regreso a la escuela es una época ajetreada.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

Para prepararse para un año escolar sano, seguro y feliz, la AAP ofrece estos consejos a los padres: • Consulta con el médico: Aproveche al máximo su consulta al pediatra hacien-

do una lista de los temas a comentar.

• Vacunas: Si tiene un niño pequeño, un adolescente o un adulto joven rumbo a la universidad, pregúntele al pediatra qué vacunas debe

recibir su hijo según su edad.

Las vacunas salvan vidas y mantienen sanos a los niños y los adultos.

• Nutrición: Hable con el pediatra y la escuela de sus hijos acerca de las opciones de alimentos saludables.

Puede pedir a la escuela que surta a la cafetería y las máquinas expendedoras con alimentos nutritivos, tales como fruta fresca, productos lácteos bajos en grasa, agua y jugo 100% de fruta. Si no le gustan las opciones que ofrece la escuela, prepare el almuerzo y unos aperitivos en casa.

Limite el consumo de refrescos. Cada refresco de 12 onzas contiene aproximadamente 10 cucharaditas de azúcar y 150 calorías. Beber sólo una lata de refresco al día aumenta el riesgo de obesidad del niño en un 60 por ciento.

• Ejercicio: Asegúrese de que sus hijos estén haciendo abundante ejercicio. Apague

AUGUST 09 - AUGUST 15, 2013

la televisión y aparte tiempo para deportes de equipo, clases de gimnasia y paseos en bicicleta. Intente por lo menos una hora al día.

• Mochilas: Elija una mochila con correas de hombro amplias y acolchadas, y una espalda acolchada, o una mochila rodante. Las mochilas nunca deben pesar más del 10 al 20 por ciento del peso corporal de su hijo.

• Cómo llegar: Asegúrese de que su hijo tenga el equipo necesario para llegar a la escuela. Sin importar si su hijo va en bicicleta o caminando, edúquelo en seguridad vial.

En el caso de los ciclistas, asegúrese de que los cascos se ajusten correctamente. Se debe indicar a los que toman el autobús que permanezcan sentados y escuchen al conductor del autobús. Si el autobús está equipado con cinturones de seguridad, los niños deben usarlos.

• Sueño: Los niños y adolescentes necesitan mucho

sueño para estar alerta. Una hora fija de ir a la cama puede ayudar a su hijo a asumir un programa sano de sueño.

• Abusones: Un abusón puede representar una verdadera amenaza para el bienestar físico y mental de un niño.

Su pediatra está bien equipado para responder también a preguntas sobre la salud mental. Enseñe a los niños a responder con confianza a los abusones y anímelos a decirle a un adulto cuando haya un problema. Recuerde que el abuso puede ocurrir también en línea. Así que vigile el uso que hacen sus hijos de los medios sociales.

• Salud en la universidad: Para los niños que se dirigen a la universidad, pregúntele a su pediatra sobre cómo coordinar el cuidado de la salud con la escuela.

Con una orientación hacia la seguridad y la salud, usted puede ayudar a hacer que este año escolar sea un éxito para sus hijos.

Exhortan a latinos a registrarse como donantes de órganos y tejidos San Jose CALIFORNIA El Consulado General de México en San José colaboró con Done Vida California en la filmación de un anuncio de servicio público sobre la importancia de la donación de órganos y tejido en el marco de la Semana Nacional del Donante Minoritario.

Ana María Osorio Ravelo, Encargada de Prensa y Asuntos Culturales del Consulado, fue la figura principal y presentadora en el anuncio y el equipo de producción de Done Vida California efectuó el proceso de filmación.

El propósito del video es llevar el mensaje de los beneficios de los trasplantes de órganos y tejidos a los miles de

latinos que residen en el Área de la Bahía y exhortar a quienes todavía no se han inscrito como donantes a que lo hagan. La Semana Nacional del Donante Minoritario se celebra del 1ro al 7 de agosto.

“Cada año cerca de 1,100 latinos en California reciben un trasplante de órganos pero la falta de donantes imposibilita ayudar a todos los que necesitan”, dijo Noel Sánchez, portavoz de Done Vida California en el área del sur de la Bahía. “Desafortunadamente 18 personas mueren cada día debido a la escasez de órganos y nos pareció que compartir este mensaje con la comunidad latina a través del Consulado sería muy eficaz en ayudarnos a salvar vidas”, añadió Sánchez.

El anuncio, disponible en versiones de 60 y 30 segundos, se mostrará con frecuencia en las pantallas de televisión en la sala de espera del Consulado y se compartirá con las estaciones de televisión locales. El video se puede ver en línea en: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=DxLsaRC_qiE “Juntos podemos dar esperanza y vida”, declara Osorio Ravelo al final de su mensaje.

(NAPSI) 1 cup finely crushed cornflakes ¼ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder ½ cup evaporated skim milk 1 pound chicken breasts, skin removed, cut into 6 pieces Non-stick cooking spray ½ tablespoon vegetable oil 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 2 medium zucchinis, cut into short strips 3 medium yellow squash, cut into short strips 1 teaspoon dried oregano Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine cornflakes, salt, ground black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Place evaporated milk in a separate bowl. Dip chicken pieces in milk and roll in crushed cornflake mixture, lightly coating both sides.

Spray a roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray and arrange chicken pieces on the pan in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes. While the chicken is baking, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic in oil for about 3 minutes. Add zucchini, yellow squash and oregano; continue to cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve each piece of chicken with 1 cup of zucchini and yellow squash mixture. Makes 6 servings.

This recipe is lower in fat because the chicken is baked, not fried. It’s also lower in both fat and cholesterol because it uses chicken breasts instead of thighs. Remove the skin before coating the chicken to reduce fat even more. Serve it with a side dish of sautéed squash and zucchini to ensure your family gets closer to the recommended goal of making half their plate fruits and vegetables!

SACRAMENTO The California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, the premier organization promoting the development of Hispanic entrepreneurs and emerging Latino businesses in California, announced today that Wells Fargo will be the Title Sponsor for its Annual Convention as the organization marks its 35th year.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

The convention, to be held from Aug. 14 to Aug. 16 in Oakland, will convene with a theme of A Legacy of Latino Leadership: Building America’s Business Future showcase Latino businesses.

The event will give attendees excellent networking opportunities, chances to connect with major businesses and government agencies and learn how to accelerate

growth in their businesses.

Wells Fargo has loaned more money to creditworthy small businesses than any other bank for 10 years running.

Since 1997, Wells Fargo has loaned more than $6.1 billion to Latino business owners.

“Our efforts to support hundreds of thousands of Latino businesses are not possible

without the support of key partners like Wells Fargo,” said Ernie Gutierrez, Chairman of the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Board of Directors.

“We appreciate Wells Fargo’s commitment to the Latino community and their support of small businesses throughout California.”

“Wells Fargo wants to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses, stay competitive, contribute to the economy and create jobs,” said Jim Foley, Greater Bay Area president for Wells Fargo.

“Wells Fargo is proud to be part of this year’s convention and at the forefront of efforts to support and expand the number of Hispanicowned businesses across California.”Women-owned

San Jose CALIFORNIA On August 1, the San José Unified Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution for immigration reform that builds on the District’s strong Equity Policy and recognizes that a strong and vibrant democracy requires that all men and women participate meaningfully with full rights and equal protections, regardless of their skin color or where they were born.

“Our District is committed to closing the opportunity gap and providing 21st century skills for all students,” said Lorie Chamberland, San José Unified Director of Equity and Leadership.

“A significant number of our students are immigrants or the children of immigrants.

businesses are among America’s fastest growing segments and this year Wells Fargo announced a commitment to lend a cumulative total of $55 billion to womenowned businesses in the U.S. by the year 2020, updating its lending commitment first established in 1995.

“This year’s convention focuses on the great entrepreneurial spirit of Latino business owners in California, with day two of the convention dedicated to the invaluable contributions women have made to our economy” said Bonnie Garcia, a California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce board member. “Packed with interactive workshops and events, the convention promises to be a great time to learn and connect for businesses.”Wells

Fargo is one of the top corporate employers of Latino talent and they employ a diverse cross-section of team members who reflect the multicultural communities it serves, including 40,000 Latino team members who work across all levels of the company. Since 2000, Wells Fargo has made charitable investments of more than $1.9 million with the California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and its foundation.

We recognize the fear of family separation these students may face and how that fear can negatively impact their performance in school and lead to poor educational outcomes.”

The resolution outlines five principles for immigration reform: 1. Children of immigrants represent the fastest growing segment of the child population yet have historically been disregarded or excluded in U.S. immigration policy decisions.

3. In Santa Clara County, immigrants and their children make up 60 percent of the population.

2. Children who are immigrants or who have immigrant parents face high rates of family separation, emotional trauma, economic instability and lack of access to services and programs that lead to poor educational outcomes.

4. San José Unified believes in access and inclusion for all students, regardless of their skin color or where they were born.

5. America’s future prosperity will depend on the ability to ensure that all children have the right to achieve their full potential.

“I’m proud of our Board for unanimously supporting this resolution,” said Pam Foley, San José Unified Board of Education President. “It shows our desire to provide an education for all of our students and to prepare them to thrive as global citizens.”

(BPT) America has a serious drug problem, but it’s not the one you might be thinking about. The problem is not illegal drugs or drug abuse, but rather an alarming percentage of Americans who do not take their prescriptions as instructed.

The impact of non-adherence, beyond patient outcomes, is as significant source of waste in our healthcare system.

For some people, a lack of symptoms coupled with denial, or high out-of-pocket costs or concerns over potential side effects make them less inclined to even fill their prescriptions let alone adhere to medications.

However, experts also agree that a substantial portion of the non-adherence problem is inadvertent.

“Many patients are dealing with multiple medications, all in nearly identical containers, but each one with a different set of dosage instructions,” says Ian Salditch, CEO of Medicine-On Time.

“It’s a recipe for mistakes - all of which could be addressed through better prescription packaging.”

Using Medicine-On-Time, pharmacists will sort and organize medications into personalized pill cups labeled with the day, date and time to take them. In addition, the packaging is designed to be easily opened by the frail and elderly.

Background information and specific details about customized packaging can be found on the company’s website, www.Medicine-OnTime.com.

Here are some easy tips for planning flavorful, healthy and satisfying snacks. * Be smart when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re navigating the concession stand line-up with simple tricks such as determining whether you are hungry or just thirsty; opting for the most nutritionpacked foods that are low in fat and high in protein, so that your snack satisfies you longer; skipping the bun; and paying attention to the recommended serving size for your snack-of-choice. * Snacks high in protein such as jerky will keep you and your family feeling energized throughout the day.

Jerky is low in fat, calories and carbs, so it will fill you up, but not out. Jerky is a popular snacking choice today. * Plan a beer and jerky gettogether, with a selection of brews paired with a bevy of jerky. When making your beer selections, try interesting options from local and regional craft or microbreweries, to create the perfect snacking combo. * The Institute of Medicine advises that men and women should try to consume about nine to 13 cups of water a day, including water that can be found in food and other beverages, such as fruit, vegetables or even coffee.

Roddy Scheer y Doug Moss E/LA REVISTA ECOLÓGICA Sólo unos pocos años atrás los biocombustibles eran la última moda. Tanto defensores del medio ambiente como gente muy concernida acerca de la seguridad nacional alababan las virtudes del etanol y el biodiesel como puentes de carbono para nuestro futuro energético. Pero la burbuja explotó cuando se hizo evidente que no había suficiente tierra agrícola en los EE.UU. o en cualquier otro lugar para cultivar la suficiente cantidad de maíz, palma y otras cosechas para alimentar tanto a las personas y sus motores.

Además, el proceso de extracción y distribución de biocombustibles ha demostrado no ser en absoluto neutro en carbono. Y con el gas

natural cada vez más barato ampliamente disponible, pagar una prima por etanol o biodiésel parecía frívolo.

Pero una nueva generación de biocombustibles basados en algas podría cambiar todo eso.

Uno de los principales problemas con los biocombustibles que las algas podrían resolver es el espacio, ya que las algas pueden producir hasta 100 veces más combustible por unidad de área que otras de las llamadas cosechas de “biocombustibles de segunda generación” (p. ej., cultivos no alimentarios o residuos no alimentarios de cultivos alimentarios). Investigadores federales del Departamento de Energía de EE.UU. informan que sólo 15.000 millas cuadradas (menos de 1/7 de la superficie usada en la actualidad para cosechar todo el maíz

a través de todo el país —para producir combustible de algas en suficiente cantidad como para sustituir todo nuestro combustible derivado del petróleo.

Aunque el quemar combustible derivado de algas en un motor o fábrica genera dióxido de carbono (CO2) igual que los combustibles fósiles, las algas mismas requieren CO2 para fotosintetizar —de modo que, en general, no se agrega CO2 a la atmósfera.

Además, cualquier CO2 creado mediante el procesamiento o refinamiento puede ser capturado y re-dirigido a los lechos de algas crecientes. Y a diferencia de otras materias primas de biocombustibles, la producción de algas tiene un impacto mínimo sobre el abastecimiento de agua dulce—sobre todo cuando se puede realizar en las aguas del océano o incluso aguas residuales.

Por lo menos tres bien financiadas empresas están listas para aumentar la producción de cantidades comercialmente viables de crudo derivado de algas en los próximos años. Solazyme de California está construyendo una fábrica de combustible de algas en Brasil en asociación con el gigante en procesamiento de alimentos Bunge y espera producir 100.000 toneladas métricas de combustible cada año. Solazyme está también renovando la fábrica de Archer

Daniels Midland en Clinton, Iowa, para producir anualmente otras 100.000 toneladas métricas de combustible de algas a nivel nacional.

Otra empresa lista para dar el salto a la producción de combustibles de algas a escala comercial es Sapphire Energy, que opera una granja de algas de 2.200 hectáreas en Nuevo México, donde el aceite es cosechado en 70 estanques abiertos y refinado in situ. Sapphire—Bill Gates es un gran inversor—espera que la planta, que entra en operación el próximo año, generará unos 10.000 barriles diarios de crudo en 2018.

Sin embargo, un tercer jugador en el mercado emergente de nuevos combustibles de algas es Synthetic Genomics, la idea del guru de la genómica Craig Venter, quien venció al gobierno de los EE.UU. en secuenciar el genoma humano y a una fracción del costo.

La empresa, que adquirió el año pasado un sitio de 81 acres en el Imperial Valley en California para expandirse y probar sus cepas de alga sintéticas en 42 estanques abiertos, planea modificar genéticamente las algas para optimizar su producción de petróleo. ExxonMobil firmó un convenio de desarrollo de 600 millones de dólares con la empresa para promover investigaciones de vanguardia.

Efren Alvarez is a painter, who uses the traditional medium of oils to expose highly satirical messages on border issues. With his overtly prolific collection of hundreds of paintings created, Efren has captured the eyes of many local collectors and has recently exhibited at MACLA, in San Jose, and will be in a group

exhibition; We Are You Project, at the Joyce Gordon Gallery in Oakland in August of this year.

Cristina Velazquez is a mix media seeker, who employs the use of your recyclables to transform what has been discarded into pieces of fine art.

Although considered trash, the outcome will not be such.

Until we can eat our own trash, we will continue to have a garbage problem; Velazquez shares about her site-specific installation, Eat My Trash.

Recently has exhibited at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica, with an upcoming show at Pam Foss Fine Art Gallery in Maryland in November.

As a young photographer he has rendered different colors and textures, that were shot in passing moments on hikes, at site seeing outings, and on everyday life with camera on hand. Pedro has an acute eye for details and expands his repertoire of images by engaging in the most minute, to the grand and showy, of objects. A recent exhibition, with awards of merit at the Redwood City Annual Spring Art Show, was where he won first place, and second place in the Middle School Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Fine Arts with an award of $25.00 check from the San Mateo Credit Union.

(FAMILY FEATURES) Whether your summer plans include an exotic trip or simply enjoying sunny days with friends, it’s the perfect time to add a little fun into your beauty routine. Celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff shares her expert tips to freshen up your look.

Don the Dewy Look Sheriff recommends cream products to achieve that dewy, healthy glow. A gorgeous peach cream blush will mimic the skin’s natural summer color – natural enough for a daytime look with the potential to make a statement for the evening.

Get a Natural Glow Self-tanners and body glows are the perfect way to look sun-kissed without the harmful rays. To get the best results, skin must be hair-free and smooth. Sheriff ’s pick is Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Total Care Body Trio, the only 3-step depilatory system that offer professional results but at a fraction of the cost of salons. Plus it works while you shower to save time.

Bring on the Color This summer, Sheriff suggests a bright eye liner to bring out the color of your eyes. To get the desired effect, apply two coats along your lower lash line with a shade that complements your eyes.

For example, if your eyes are brown, purple eyeliner will make your eyes pop.

Less is More Add products to your makeup kit that do double-duty in soaring summer temperatures: an SPF foundation primer will protect against

sun damage and create a sleek canvas while a tinted moisturizer will create a sheer finish. For a flawless application, Sheriff suggests using a foundation brush.

The Perfect Pout Red lips are on trend this summer, but finding the

perfect red lipstick can be a challenge for many women.

Sheriff recommends a sheer red or deep wine gloss for an easy, wearable way to get the look without going too bold.

With just a few expert tips in your beauty routine, you can enjoy a renewed summertime look to last all season long.

Pero Dusty no está construido particularmente para competir, y da la casualidad que le teme a las alturas. Es por eso que recurre a un experimentado aviador naval que lo ayuda a clasificar para enfrentarse al campeón vigente del circuito de carreras. La valentía de Dusty es puesta a prueba al máximo cuando intenta alcanzar alturas que jamás soñó que fueran posibles, dándole al mundo que lo sigue fascinado una gran inspiración.

E n el año 2159, existen dos clases de gente: los muy ricos, que viven en una inmaculada estación espacial especialmente diseñada llamada Elysium, y el resto, que vive en una Tierra superpoblada y destruida. La gente de la Tierra está desesperada por escapar del crímen y la pobreza que asolan al planeta, y además necesitan desesperadamente la atención médica de avanzada que solo está disponible en Elysium, pero no faltan quienes en Elyseum están dispuestos a todo para hacer cumplir las leyes y preservar el lujoso estilo de vida de sus ciudadanos.

La única persona que tiene la oportunidad de traer un poco de igualdad a estos dos mundos es Max (Matt Damon), un hombre común que está desesperado por llegar a Elysium.

(BPT) Whether you are a recent graduate or a seasoned professional, at some point you’ll likely find yourself searching for a new job. And as you start your job search, it’s important to understand the impact your use of social media may have on your career.

The hard truth: You can’t be too cautious when it comes to participating in social media.

According to a 2012 CareerBuilder.com survey, 37 percent of employers check sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter in their research of candidates. And the employer scrutiny of social media takes on a whole new dimension for many once on the job as a growing number of employers are establishing policies about the use of social media on and off the clock for their employees.

The clash between employee use of social media and employers has come to a head with the dramatic rise in the number of legal cases involving employees and their use of the Internet both on and off the job, according to FindLaw.com, the nation’s leading website for free legal information.

“The photos and comments you post on social media websites can follow your career for years to come,” says Solomon Gresen, an employment law attorney with the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen in Los Angeles.

“When you start posting online, you create a digital trail that’s available for all to see including current and future employers. And, in many ways, what you post remains forever.”

In one case, an employee was fired when she posted photos of herself dancing and throwing a Frisbee at a festival on her Facebook pro-

file. Why? She was on a temporary leave and claimed she was in severe pain from an old back injury.

“I would strongly urge parents to talk to their high school- and college-age children about the importance of building a reputable online presence,” adds Gresen.

“One careless Facebook post or inappropriate tweet could wind up damaging your reputation and negatively impacting your career potential.”

Here are some additional tips from FindLaw.com on how to avoid career-limiting social media mistakes: Ask about your company’s social media policies. With more companies adopting social media policies, educating yourself is key. If there aren’t any policies at your workplace, it’s best to use common sense.

Search yourself. Want to check out what your potential or current employer may see about you online? Do a search of your name on any of the leading search engines to get a snapshot of how you appear digitally to others. If you see any red flags, manage them right away - or be prepared for the situation should an employer bring it up with you.

Complete your LinkedIn profile. Many recruiters search LinkedIn for candidates. This is one place to put your best foot forward and attract employers. Don’t treat it as an online resume with every career detail - just include highlights of your work history and accomplishments.

Don’t lie or exaggerate your work experience. The Internet offers employers the opportunity to corroborate

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

information you claim about yourself. Therefore, it’s wise to not lie or exaggerate on your resume or LinkedIn profile.

Avoid sharing sensitive work-related information.

Don’t share privileged or confidential information about your company or customers.

It could put your career and the company at risk.

Don’t vent about work.

Don’t complain about your boss. Don’t gripe about how boring work is. Don’t play hooky and then post photos about your incredible day off.

Always assume that someone from your company may be watching what you say or post.

Be careful about what photos you share. With smartphone cameras connected directly to social networks, photos can easily be posted without a second thought.

Photos of you participating in inappropriate or risky behavior can quickly tarnish your professional reputation.

Employers want employees who mirror company values.

If they’re looking for ways to quickly whittle down a large pool of candidates, this is one of them.

Be cautious about who you connect with. In the world of business you’re known by the company you keep. The same rule applies to social media.

Everything you like on Facebook or follow on LinkedIn or Twitter factors into your online reputation.

Use your privacy settings.

Want to limit some of the problems mentioned and put space between your personal and professional life? Adjust your privacy settings. Many social media platforms have controls that allow you to fine-tune how your information and posts are displayed.
