WA GMO Labeling Initiative is Round Two for CA Prop. 37 Donors The campaigns for and against a Washington state ballot initiative to require labels on products containing genetically modified crops have already attracted $4,821,186. Washington Ballot Initiative 522, titled “The People’s Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act,” has been compared to last year’s failed California Proposition 37, “California’s Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act.” The similarities between the two ballot measures go beyond titles and even content: Washington’s I-522 shares several of the same moneyed supporters that fueled the California Prop. 37 campaign as well as some of the same opponents as those that “bankrolled” the “media blitz” to defeat it.

Transitions in education and life always require changes. This must be understood by the 40% of student dropouts who decided not to continue with their public school education. As one of the professional Latino mentors to 110 students attending Hispanic Scholarship Foundation’s four day event at Santa Clara University, I was impressed by their interest in ‘doing something’ for the community’. Many asked the same questions such as: “How do I become a reporter, an author? What do I need to know to do well? Where do I start?” My response startled many: “Whether you like it or not, you are in business. Your own personal business. To be successful you must learn to read, write, and know math. In addition, learn some basic book keeping and the general accounting equations, “Assets minus debts equals your equity”. In addition, your parents taught you what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’ behavior. Core values are summarized by the ‘Ten Commandments’, of which the first four are about having faith, belief, and a relationship with GOD, and the last six are about human behavior. Beginning with ‘Honor your father and mother’; do no Murder; no adultery; be no false witness; do not steal and do not covet your neighbor’s property. These core values are the basis of ethics and morality in family, society and its commerce. Your mind is a biological computer that must be con-
tinuously stimulated with information, facts, and theories. Brain research reveals that the human brain continues to grow when stimulated. So the challenge is for each of us to learn throughout life from life’s experiences. One must be able to read, write, and know math. Public schools have neglected these basic education goals. Teachers must understand that they need to present truthful and factual information to their students, who are each unique. The job of each student is to receive the information presented through his or her senses (seeing, hearing, touch, taste, smell). It is the responsibility of the student to ask, “Will this be useful to me?” How and when will I need to use it? In the beginning, one does not know enough to think with understanding because your brain does not contain enough information to enable that process. For example, one cannot count until all the numbers are memorized, and until multiplication, addition, subtraction and division are experienced and understood. Civic leaders and School officials often get diverted by the needs of industry. STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is emphasized because of the need for skilled employees by industry, whose commerce involves information technology (IT). One might ask about biological, natural & physical sciences, Arts & Culture, and social sciences, which are required to train doctors, lawyers, social workers, and others. Each individual must learn enough to define the field of knowledge they are passionately interested in. Know that today more wealth is created with insightful ideas which lead to ‘intangible property’ of high value, creating industry and jobs.
OPINION
EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com
School dropouts are a concern to the community because public education has been made a legal institution of our society. Parents are obligated to enroll their kids in school until age 18. Taxes are paid to support public schools. So truancy is of concern to officials because of lower average daily attendance (ADA) revenues from the State Department of Education. Society and educators must look at the 40% school dropout rate as an indication that much curriculum content is outdated. As a consequence, today’s student may end up being totally unprepared for today’s new job skills. It is very essential to involve parents and guardians of students, for these are responsible mentors. Home teachers and role models are emulated by each child since birth. An observation is that too many ethnic students of color are indoctrinated to become skilled conforming employees. These students want to learn ‘to do something’. These students are also interested in making changes in the social, economic and judicial fabric. No one tells them that to change things (i.e., make transitions), one must become ‘a decision-maker’ who approves proposed projects, assigns personnel, equipment, and funds. It is this which changes social, economic and justice systems. Therefore, public schools must begin teaching all students to care for their personal business. Conformance to universal academic performance standards is not enough. As in ‘transitions in life’, both students and educators must be committed to learning for life from life’s experiences.
Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERvADOR Las mujeres han estado luchando por la igualdad de derechos desde antes del siglo XIX. Poder votar fue un gran problema en el siglo XIX, y en la década de 1960, fueron llamadas feministas por querer ser tratadas de igual manera que los hombres. Con la apertura de un nuevo club para caballeros en el centro de San José, me hizo pensar en el movimiento de liberación de las mujeres y cómo las reformadoras se sentirían al respecto. Es difícil creer lo lejos que hemos llegado. Me parece muy bien si una chica se siente cómoda vistiendo casi nada y sus tacones altos. Se necesita una gran cantidad de seguridad y probablemente un montón de valor para hacer lo que hacen. Después de todo es su cuerpo y deben ser capaces de vestir como quieren y trabajar en un ambiente que se siente cómodo para ellas.
Siento que las mujeres son a veces demasiado críticas de sí mismas. Me doy cuenta de que no importa a dónde vaya. Hace apenas unas semanas estuve en un festival de música y escuché varias conversaciones acerca del mismo tema: chicas con las piernas afectadas por la celulitis. Recientemente ha habido una tendencia popular de los shorts de cintura alta algo que significa que las chavas están mostrando más de su trasero de lo habitual. Igual que los hombres, las mujeres se dieron cuenta y hablaban de cómo las verdaderas amigas no te dejan salir por la puerta si tuvieras celulitis. Todo lo que podía pensar era ¡wow! Estás en un festival para admirar las bandas no para ver a otras chicas, a menos que estén allí por eso, sin embargo; a quién le importa si la chica tiene hoyuelos en las piernas. Las mujeres deben usar lo que quieran, siempre existirán críticos, pero no deberíamos de hacerlo entre nosotras. Me resulta refrescante cuando una joven no es una talla cero, acepta sus curvas y parece que le gusta la piel en la que está dentro. Los shorts en realidad deberían de ser el menor de los problemas de la gente, de todos modos, sobre todo
3
cuando se están tomando otros derechos por sentado. Es difícil de creer lo que pasó en Texas, a partir de octubre van a prohibir abortos a partir de las 20 semanas de gestación y los médicos aptos para realizar un aborto, deben tener privilegios de admisión del hospital dentro de un perímetro de 30 kilómetros de la clínica. Además muchas clínicas fueron cerradas. Creo que es muy importante que una mujer tenga el derecho de planear cuándo quiere formar una familia. Después de todo, convertirse en madre o padre, no es un paseo por el parque o algo que resulte barato en lo absoluto. Mis hermanas y yo tenemos conversaciones de que una se convierta en una bailarina go-go, bailarina nudista, o incluso una chica de compañía. Está todo dentro de la buena diversión y nos reímos mucho de ello, pero no me importaría que una de mis hermanas en realidad decidiera hacer eso. Creo que esos son trabajos temporales de todos modos, si usted sabe lo que quiero decir. Pueden ahorrar para la escuela o para cualquier situación que depare el futuro. Todo lo que importa es que es su elección, y de nadie más. ¡Deberíamos continuar con la liberación de la mujer!

Cualquier persona que haya cuidado a un bebé sabe que los bebés regurgitan. Y escupen. Y vuelven a escupir. Es fácil entender por qué algunos padres y cuidadores se preocupan por esto. ¿Está el niño recibiendo suficientes alimentos? ¿Es escupir con frecuencia un signo de una enfermedad más grave? ¿Es necesario que el bebé tome medicamento para tratar el problema? Según el doctor Andrew E. Mulberg, pediatra y gastroenterólogo pediátrico en la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA), escupir frecuentemente es absolutamente normal en la mayoría de los casos y no es un síntoma de mala salud. Mientras que el bebé esté alerta, razonablemente contento, aumenta de peso, y no muestra otros signos de enfermedad, esto no suele ser un motivo de preocupación, dice Mulberg. Entonces, ¿qué hace que el bebé escupa la comida con tanta frecuencia? En los bebés, el anillo de músculo entre el esófago y el estómago, el esfínter esofágico inferior (LES) no está
AUGUST 23 - AUGUST 29, 2013
completamente maduro, lo que permite que el contenido del estómago fluyan hacia arriba, Mulberg explica. Con el tiempo, el LES madura y se abre sólo cuando el bebé come y permanece firmemente cerrado el resto del tiempo, manteniendo los alimentos en el estómago donde deben estar. “Cuando el niño tiene 18 meses de edad o menos, el problema se conoce como reflujo gastroesofágico (GER por su sigla en inglés), y por lo general se resuelve por sí sólo”, dice Mulberg. En un pequeño número de casos, puede existir una condición más seria conocida como GERD (enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico). La GERD también puede causar regurgitación excesiva, pero requiere tratamiento para evitar complicaciones de salud adicionales, tales como daño al tejido del revestimiento del esófago. Se debe consultar a un proveedor de atención médica inmediatamente si un bebé presenta síntomas tales como escupir sangre, sangre en las heces, pérdida de peso, retraso en el crecimiento como falta de aumento de peso y
tos persistente o sibilancias o jadeos, dice Mulberg. Cómo tratar la regurgitación normal Una vez que una enfermedad más grave se descarta por un proveedor de atención médica, hay una serie de cosas que los padres y otros cuidadores pueden hacer para ayudar a evitar que los bebés constantemente escupan. Estos incluyen: Sostener al bebé en posición vertical cuando lo alimenta. Alimentar al bebé porciones más pequeñas, una a la vez. Hacer comidas más espesas añadiendo cereales de arroz u otros cereales para bebés, que ayudan a la comida a quedarse n el estómago por más tiempo. Cambiar a una fórmula diferente. Es comprensible que los padres primerizos, especialmente, están preocupados cuando su hijo parece estar escupiendo sin parar”, dice Mulberg. “Por lo general, los padres no duermen lo suficiente, y claro, esto no ayuda a la situación.”

(StatePoint) ¿Piensa que la intimidación es sólo una burla inofensiva? Se calcula que 160,000 niños se ausentan de la escuela todos los días debido al miedo de ser atacados o intimidados por otros alumnos, según la Asociación Nacional de Educación. Y los investigadores de salud de Yale han encontrado una correlación entre el suicidio – la cuarta causa de muerte en niños de 10 a 14 años en los Estados Unidos – y la intimidación y ser maltratado. Los expertos dicen que los propios niños tienen el poder para poner fin a la intimidación. Desafortunadamente, tanto las víctimas como los testigos no siempre saben cuál es la mejor manera de manejar las situaciones de intimidación cuando se producen. “La mayoría de los niños se siente terrible cuando ven a amigos o compañeros intimidados. Quieren ayudar, pero no saben qué hacer”, dice Alice Cahn, vicepresidente de Responsabilidad Social de Cartoon Network. “Tener estrategias para estas situaciones puede ayudar a preparar a los niños a intervenir cuando llegue el momento”. Con esto en mente, Cartoon Network lanzó en 2010 el galardonado Basta de bullying, no te quedes callado (Stop Bullying: Speak Up) para educar a los niños sobre qué hacer cuando son testigos de situaciones de acoso escolar. En asociación con expertos en la materia, personal de los Departamentos de Educación y de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los EE.UU., y socios como CNN, La Liga Antidifamación, la Fundación Pacer y académicos re-
conocidos a nivel nacional, la campaña de prevención de la intimidación escolar tiene como objetivo poner fin a este problema común y grave. La campaña de responsabilidad social ofrece estos consejos a los padres y niños para ayudarles a prevenir la intimidación en sus escuelas: • Díselo a un adulto: cuando alguien es intimidado, díselo a un padre, maestro o adulto de confianza. Hablar de ello no es acusar o delatar, es ayudar a otra persona. • Sé amable: la intimidación puede hacer que la víctima se sienta alienada y sola. Decir unas palabras amables a la persona que ha sido intimidada hace una gran diferencia. • Hazte voluntario: el programa de prevención de la intimidación de tu escuela necesita a los padres y alumnos para ayudar a animar a todos a hablar contra la intimidación. • No te quedes callado: pide a tu escuela que enarbole la bandera oficial de Basta de bullying, no te quedes calla-

El sitio también ofrece enlaces a la Anti-Defamation League, los Boys and Girls Club of America y otros socios que proporcionan asesoramiento experto sobre intimidación escolar. Todos los materiales están disponibles en inglés y español. “No se detengan allí”, dice Cahn. “Estos recursos tienen por objeto iniciar un diálogo”.
Todo niño debe sentir que su escuela es un lugar seguro para ir a aprender. Los padres, profesores y alumnos pueden trabajar juntos para promover el cambio.
Results of the 2013 California Standards Tests (CST) show that while progress is being made among county students in closing the achievement gap, the gap remains considerable, according to an analysis by the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s Assessment and Accountability Department. The California Department of Education released the 2013 results today for schools, districts and counties. The scores are used to calcu-
late Academic Performance Index and are compared to Adequate Yearly Progress accountability targets. Several highlights of the SCCOE analysis: Overall, county students continue to outperform their statewide counterparts, with 67 percent of county students scoring proficient or above in ELA, compared to 57 percent statewide; and 72 percent of county scoring proficient or above in math, compared to 63 percent statewide. After years of slow but consistent growth, each of four selected ethnic subgroups
5
in the county either had the same proficiency levels as the previous year or dropped by a percentage point in one or both subjects. Though the achievement gaps between white students and Hispanic students are still rather wide, they did narrow between 2004 and 2013. For example, in math the gap is down by 9 percentage points since 2004. In spite of that trend, however, the size of the gap is still troubling, at 30 points. The entire COE analysis can be found at:

rate is derived from a federal survey of 5,500 California households.
California’s nonfarm payroll jobs increased by 38,100 during the month for a total gain of 807,700 jobs since the recovery began in February 2010, according to data released today by the California Employment Development Department (EDD). California’s unemployment rate increased to 8.7 percent in July. The U.S. unemployment rate decreased in July to 7.4 percent. In June, the state’s unemployment rate was 8.5 percent, and in July 2012, the unemployment rate was 10.6 percent. Since January 2013, the unemployment rate has decreased by 1.1 percent, including back-to-back 0.4 percentage point drops in April and May. The unemployment
Nonfarm jobs in California totaled 14,653,000 in July, an increase of 38,100 jobs over the month, according to a survey of businesses that is larger and less variable statistically. The survey of 42,000 California businesses measures jobs in the economy. The year-over-year change (July 2012 to July 2013) shows an increase of 236,400 jobs (up 1.6 percent). EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN CALIFORNIA The federal survey of households, done with a smaller sample than the survey of employers, shows a decrease in the number of employed people. It estimates the number of Californians holding
jobs in July was 16,988,000, a decrease of 65,000 from June 2013, but up 468,000 from the employment total in July of last year.The number of people unemployed in California was 1,622,000 – up by 29,000 over the month, but down by 328,000 compared with July of last year. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS (NOT SEASONALLY ADJUSTED) In related data, the EDD reported that there were 510,998 people receiving regular Unemployment Insurance benefits during the July survey week. This compares with 445,971 last month and 518,605 last year. At the same time, new claims for unemployment insurance were 67,382 in July 2013, compared with 66,122 in June and 52,336 in July of last year.

En 1978, el Congreso sancionó una ley que proclama al primer domingo después del Día del Trabajo como el Día Nacional del Abuelo. Los diferentes presidentes, desde Jimmy Carter, han instado a los ciudadanos a, según las palabras de Barack Obama, “honrar a aquellos que han ayudado a formar el carácter de nuestra nación, y agradecer a estos modelos por sus inmensurables actos de amor, cuidado y comprensión”. En una etapa de la vida en la que ya deberían estar cómodamente retirados, según los datos recopilados por Generations United, unos 2,7 millones de abuelos han asumido la responsabilidad de cubrir las necesidades básicas de sus nietos. Un alarmante 21 por ciento de estos proveedores de sustento viven bajo la línea de la pobreza, a pesar de que el 60 por ciento todavía trabaja. Se estima que 7,8 millones de niños menores de 18 años viven en hogares dirigidos por sus abuelos u otros familiares, incluyendo a aquellos que no cuentan con sus padres porque han fallecido, son drogadictos, están prestando servicios militares, u otros motivos. Irónicamente, a pesar de que muchas de estas familias de abuelos y nietos apenas se las arreglan para subsistir, le ahorran a los contribuyentes más de $6.500 millones por año manteniendo a los niños fuera del sistema de cuidado temporario en familias de crianza. Por eso, es justo que haya programas asistenciales federales, estatales y locales que ayuden a estos ángeles guardianes a brindar seguridad financiera y emocional a sus nietos.
Algunas de las muchas dificultades con las que a veces se enfrentan estas familias son:
Si usted es el padre de crianza de su nieto, debe hacerse cargo de las decisiones y el cuidado diario, aunque el estado retiene la custodia legal y paga por el cuidado del niño. A menos que establezca algún tipo de relación legal (custodia, tutela o adopción), el padre biológico puede llevarse al niño de su casa en cualquier momento. En algunos estados, es difícil inscribir al niño en la escuela u obtener atención médica sin tener algún tipo de relación legal. La mayoría de los complejos residenciales para personas mayores no permiten que vivan niños –lo cual es legal –por lo que algunas familias deben mudarse.
Pero, las familias de abuelos y nietos pueden ser elegibles para obtener varios créditos fiscales: Un Crédito Fiscal por Nieto de hasta $1.000 por cada
nieto que califique, siempre que viva con usted durante más de la mitad del año fiscal y tenga menos de 17 años al cierre del año. Si usted califica para obtener el Crédito Fiscal por Ganancias, podrá ser elegible para obtener una suma adicional por los nietos que tenga a su cargo. Un Crédito por Cuidado de Menores y Dependientes por los gastos incurridos para que cuiden al niño mientras usted trabaja o busca empleo. Si usted adopta a su nieto, puede ser elegible para recibir un Crédito Federal por Adopción no reembolsable de hasta $12.970 por niño. Además, dependiendo de sus ingresos y del estado de salud/discapacidad de sus nietos, también puede ser elegible para recibir los beneficios de Medicaid, el Programa del Seguro de Salud Infantil que le ofrezca su estado, el Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria y muchos otros programas asistenciales federales, estatales y locales.

Her father was a traditional, old schooled Mexican who was originally from Chihuahua Mexico and would later serve as a United States customs officer for years. Her mother was also from Chihuahua, a housewife who as explained by Irene, “was a very open and loving lady. Every person that was a stranger wasn’t a stranger for long.” Of the 8 children in her home, Chavez was one of 2 girls, which left 6 brothers. She went to school in El Paso and to college at University of Texas in El Paso. She also did most of her healthcare career in El Paso and received her Bachelors in Political science. “My original plan was to teach American government in high school. I really wanted to do that, but I started working at hospitals at night to pay for school tuition and I fell in love with healthcare then got my MBA many years later. Every chance that I have to teach in continuing education components for university I do that, because I love teaching.” Now relocated to the Bay Area, the diversity of Northern California is an enjoyable thing to Chavez, although Texas will always be her home. Married 38 years, she did not have children of her own but does indeed enjoy spending time with the kids of her extended family. Overcoming barriers as both a woman and a Latina has been a struggle at times, especially with societal norms that existed in earlier decades. One situation had her

accepting a business manager position at a hospital. She had to first be interviewed by a board member to accept the position. During the interview the board member made sure to remind Chavez that not only was she a woman but one of Mexican descent. In her words, “it fired me up, to prove that one, a woman, could do an exceptional job and a woman of Mexican descent could do twice as good a job.” During the course of that position she did do a tremendous job, but she says that it was because of the great team that helped achieve it themselves collaboratively. In the healthcare field herfirst job was as a night billing and collection clerk. She effectively started from the bottom, working and using the newly acquired passion as a motivation to pursue it as a life long career. Then in 1974 she had the opportunity to really learn the business of the finance aspect of the healthcare. She was able to move into resource management which included length of stay of a patient and the continuing care of a patient after leaving the hospital. Within this role Chavez was able to oversee nearly every department of the hospital including nursing, and that is where she really came to understand where the barriers and opportunities existed, and, where as she puts it, “the great work is always done, by the patients bedside.” Dur-
ing these years of gaining experience and an appreciation for the different aspects of the healthcare system, she still managed to go to school every night. Within a total of 8 years of schooling Chavez was able to earn her bachelors and masters degrees. “I absolutely loved going to class and listening to other executives and other business professionals and just soaking it all up, and learning how do I apply all this theory to the practice of what I’m doing at that particular time in the hospital.” She loves it at Kaiser. She was told that Kaiser always promoted from within. So in
the 80’s she was doing associative administrative work. And later had the opportunity to interview for her present role. She says “it really was one of those moments in your life when you think, oh my god, it’s a dream come true. And it is everything I dreamed it would be.” It’s very difficult to put theory into practice, especially when it is within the service world. As a senior VP area manager Chavez fulfills the role of CEO within the
hospital system. The area manager portion of the title leaves her with the responsibilities of the health plans for the 201,000 members of the San Jose area that she resides over. By both strategizing the hospitals budget and looking out for the members Chavez focuses on deriving positive gains in both these areas. “We take that so seriously because everything that’s in place is because a member paid a premium. Every month they write a check.
How we spend that money is very important to me. I always think that if I had a member sitting in front of me, would I be able to explain my actions, and more importantly, would they feel good about the decisions I’m making?” The passion to do the best for both the business end and the human side has been there, and Irene Chavez seemed destined to fill the shoes at Kaiser.

School is once again back in session and SamTrans is making service improvements that will make it easier for some Peninsula students to use SamTrans to get to school. As of Aug. 12, several bus lines that provide service to some local schools have been renamed and others routes have been consolidated or adjusted as part of an effort to streamline and improve service. One line, Route 36, has been eliminated, but Route 35 has been adjusted to accommodate service previously provided by Route 36. Eight new lines have been created from trips that existed under other local routes. For example, new Route 79 will be comprised of up to seven trips from Route 271. Lines that only operated on school days, but had a number of different route patterns during the morning and evening peak travel times, will receive their own specific name. Route 83, for instance, will be broken down into six individual lines—80, 82, 83, 84, 88, and 89. Most of these bus lines operated on certain streets during the middle of the day but used “deviations” to accommodate extra stops for students in the morning and afternoon. Under the new operating plan, those “deviation” patterns will now be their own specific routes, making it easier for passengers to know exactly which line they should use. More details about the adjusted school service, including information about which schools in the Peninsula are served and a list of the new route numbers, can be found here <http://www.samtrans. com/riderinformation/Youth/ SchoolsServed.html> .

mide 328 m2 /Precio $ 60,000 dollares Para informes hable al MEDIO AMBIENTE Cuando la temperatura sube, hay una tendencia a que las cuentas de energía suban también, pero hay diferentes maneras en que usted puede evitar que esto ocurra en su hogar. El hogar promedio de California derrocha 30 por ciento de su energía cada día y ese número puede subir a niveles pico en los meses de verano que ya se vienen rápidamente, debido a las altas temperaturas al aire libre y al aumento del uso de equipos de refrigeración en el hogar. Asimismo, el hecho que no cayó nieve el invierno pasado y la falta de lluvia este verano podría ocasionar serios problemas en el abastecimiento de agua en todo el estado. Conservar el agua y apagar las luces son formas muy fáciles pero eficientes formas en que los propietarios pueden poner de su parte en el hogar. Estando ya muy cerca el primer día de verano, Energy Upgrade California recomienda a los propietarios de viviendas seguir los siguientes cinco consejos para el ahorro de energía sin costo y en forma rápida, para ayudarle a ahorrar dinero en las cuentas de servicios públicos
y hacer sus hogares más cómodos durante los meses de verano: 1. Controle su termostato. Regule su termostato a 78 º F o más cuando esté en casa, y a 85 º C cuando salga de la casa. Mantenga el interior de las salidas de aire sin interferencia de los muebles y otros objetos. El subir su termostato en sólo dos grados y utilizar el ventilador de techo en su lugar puede bajar los costos del aire acondicionado hasta en un 14%. 2. Baje el calentador de agua. Los calentadores de agua de muchas casas son fijados muy por encima de la temperatura de 120 grados recomendada. Por desgracia, cada 2.5 grados por encima de dicho límite aumenta innecesariamente su cuenta de agua caliente en un 1%. 3. Cierre el grifo. Muchos de nosotros tendemos a dejar el grifo abierto mientras lavamos los platos, nos cepillamos los dientes o nos afeitarnos. Abrir el grifo sólo cuando sea necesario puede ahorrarle miles de galones de agua al año, sin mencionar la energía necesaria para calentarla.
4. Desenchufe los adaptadores de corriente cuando no estén en uso. Enchufe los aparatos electrónicos del hogar, tales como televisores y reproductores de DvD, en barras de potencia, apague la barra cuando el equipo no está en uso: los televisores y los DvD en el modo de espera siempre permanecen utilizando varios vatios de energía. 5. Revise el termostato de su refrigerador o congelador. Regule los niveles de ahorro de energía: A 38 grados F para el refrigerador y a 5 grados F para el congelador. Los propietarios de California que buscan dar un paso más en el ahorro de energía del hogar, pueden utilizar un sistema de aislamiento, reemplazar los conductos de aire y electrodomésticos antiguos o modernizar sus ventanas. Energy Upgrade California refiere a los propietarios de viviendas para la obtención de rebajas locales y estatales que pueden ahorrarles hasta 4.500 dólares con este tipo de mejoras en el hogar.

ARTS & CULTURE
SAN JOSE The 10th anniversary Downtown Doors student art competition and exhibition is expanding again to 21 new locations in 2013. A panel of judges has selected 25 art pieces from a pool of more than 160 representing the best artworks from 16 area high schools and two middle schools. “Congratulations to San Jose Downtown Foundation for nurturing young talent and providing us with an up-todate gallery of their work,” said Barbara Goldstein, former public art director for the City of San Jose, who served on the jury panel in 2013. Students complete the artworks to meet specifications provided by the Downtown Foundation. Selected pieces are transitioned to large vinyl decals and then applied to utility doors and boxes that
service downtown’s infrastructure, where they make significant and poignant contributions to downtown San Jose’s urban landscape. Some of the new locations include: The 88, 55 and 60 S. Market St., the Fairmont San Jose, San Jose Repertory Theatre, 8 N. San Pedro St., and utility boxes at Plaza de Cesar Chavez and along Third and San Carlos streets. “This program works well on so many community levels,” said Diana Beechie, SJDF president. “For some of the artists, this may be a lifechanging moment when they gain the confidence to continue to focus on the arts in their lives. On the other hand, we’re so happy to unveil the works and beautify our downtown streets for all the passersby.” The program has expanded from four pieces in 2003 to 80 locations in 2013. Over the 10 years of the program (skipping 2008 to prepare
EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com
the program for its expansion), 162 works have been displayed from students representing 22 area schools. Lincoln, the original high school involved, leads with 46 selections. Students representing East Side Union High Schools, a diverse community with the highest dropout rate in the region, have contributed 50 works, nearly one in three.
Nine of the pieces by East Side students: • Jazmin Eusebio • Daniel Valencia • Daniel Valencia • Alexis Elazegui • Melissa Tow • Jasmine Fuentes • Amy Lam • Thong H. Luc
• Valerie Nguyen - Silver
In 2012, Downtown Doors garnered a $25,000 grant
from the National Endowment for the Arts for the program’s contributions to arts education and public art, and won the top prize from the International Downtown Association for its positive public space-making attributes. The simple program requires students to work several months to prepare their pieces for judging. It engages educators and families, as well as a loyal and supportive group of property owners to host the art works, sponsors to fund installation and judges, trustees and staff to administer. “The students really enjoy being part of something that contributes to their city,” said Ginna Ingelfinger, art teacher at Independence High School. While teachers are delighted to include Downtown Doors as part of their curriculum and students see the character-building and real-life

FASHION & BEAUTY
(BPT) The back-to-school season will hasten the pace of morning routines for everyone, from busy moms to college students. Fitting your makeup regimen into a hectic schedule can make it challenging to achieve just the right look. Moms need a quick, easy look that holds up to daily demands with little maintenance. College women need versatility that will carry them from the classroom to the club. And first-time makeup wearers will experiment and explore to discover their own personal style. As the days grow shorter, so does morning primping time. Getting the kids and yourself out the door on time doesn’t leave much room for a beauty routine No one wants to pull up to the carpool line with under-eye bags and sallow skin, but painstaking makeup
application just isn’t practical. Focus on the products that will provide the most impact in the shortest amount of time, including concealer, mascara and blush. First, apply a coat of your favorite foundation over your entire face. A tinted moisturizer or foundation with SPF can be great time-savers. Cover imperfections with concealer, and buff out the edges to seamlessly blend together. Apply translucent powder to eliminate shine and create a smooth canvas and then eliminate any visible makeup lines with a clean brush. Apply mascara, blush and lipstick, and you’re ready to head out the door in pulled-together perfection. For daytime classes, concealer, mascara and blush serves college students well. At night, play up your best features while staying on-trend for fall. Use concealer to touch

up any unevenness in your complexion, and stop shine with a translucent powder. A round powder brush can do double duty as an applicator for bronzer or blush. Apply bronzer just under cheek bones and swipe blush just above the bronzer. Metallic eye shadows are hot this fall, and a stay-there shadow brush allows you to give lids a wash of copper tone. Create a smoky effect by applying and blending a darker brown shadow to the outer corners and creases of your eyes. Smudged darkbrown liner and two coats of mascara complete the sultry eye effect. Finally, finish up with a neutral lipstick and let your eyes take center stage. As first-timers begin to experiment with makeup, it’s best to keep things simple. Stick with the adage “less is more” to avoid clownish cheeks, over-lined lips and embarrassing class photos. Use a concealer brush to gen-

tly dab concealer over blemishes or imperfections. Set in place with a layer of translucent powder, and apply a rosy pink shade of blush to the apples of the cheeks. For the eyes, choose a neutral shadow that is close to your skin tone and
apply it to the entire eyelid. A second shadow, two shades darker than your skin tone, can help define the crease of your eyelid. Apply dark brown gel liner close to your lash line and one coat of black or dark brown mascara. Bold brows
are in, so don’t over pluck. Instead, use a lash and brow groomer to tame any stray hairs and brush brows into place. A swipe of sheer, shimmery lip gloss tops off this fresh, youthful look.

ity materials that are used to make these clothes -(I do say so from personal experience). At the end it simply comes down to value, which is a fair return in goods for something exchanged, in this case money. Getting a good deal does not always mean you are getting value.
I know summer is not over yet and I’m already planning for fall but, hey, it never hurts to plan ahead. So all the kids and college students are getting ready to go back to school and hit those books really hard... just kidding. Most of them probably are only looking forward to reuniting with their friends. But you know one of the things they are really looking forward for sure? New clothes! Yes, this is the time that you were looking forward to as well; until you realize that finally ridding of those pesky teenagers--you can hardly believe share your same genes-have outgrown most of their clothes and their taste level has drastically changed to one that must belong to a royal
Depending on your budget, head over to JC Penney, Target, Kohls, or even Forever 21. These retailers usually carry most items that are on trend and offer pretty affordable prices. You can find skinny jeans for Jr, flirty skirts for your princess and even print T’s for the baby. Noticed I didn’t mention Walmart amongst the other retailers? I know Walmart has pretty affordable prices. However, I do believe, the quality of their clothes is, well, close to none. Although I don’t condone those who shop at Walmart for clothes, I do have to advise of the poor qual-
If your budget is somewhat slim--I wish mine wasn’t-then head over to Milpitas or Gilroy for the outlets. On any given day you could find great deals and cool styles. Just the other day I ran into a great offer which I couldn’t pass up. $100 later I was a happy camper with three complete outfits. The point here is knowing where to look. If shoes are what your bundles of joy need, buying three or four pairs can put a strain on your budget and wallet, but then again knowing where to look will help you a lot. Try this. Go online and start searching for the type of shoes your kids want, but don’t limit yourself to one site. Visit all the sites that you can and compare prices. Once you have found the most affordable pair search again, but this time for discount codes. Most of the time you’ll save yourself at least an extra 10%. Don’t have the budget to buy anything new? No worries. There are several stores within the San Jose area that specialize in recycled clothes. If your kids don’t mind wearing previously-worn clothes, (why would they?), then head over to these places and look around. You’ll be surprised at the great finds you can come across. Things of value if I may add.

(Family Features) Back-to-School time is one of the busiest of the year. Kids love the excitement of catching up with friends, learning new things and meeting new teachers. Whether done at home or at school, crafts are a fun way to teach kids important life skills. Kids learn to share, socialize and take pride in their work. They also learn to embrace creativity, make choices, explore their own curiosity and express their thoughts and emotions. Dexterity and coordination are also developed as kids manipulate various tools, such as scissors, pottery wheels, needles and hooks. Complex crafts can also teach perseverance and build concentration.

Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador Según antiguas leyendas escandinavas asociadas a la *Wicca, cada vez que ocurre el solsticio de verano, todos los seres míticos divinos que habitan en la tierra abandonan temporalmente sus moradas en la otra dimensión con el firme propósito de procurarles el bien a sus hermanos menores existentes en el plano material. Hadas, duendes, devas, nomos elfos, sílfides y duendecillos, especies del reino angelical, comienzan a obrar maravillas desde el día en que se conmemora el festival de Lammas (alrededor del día primero de agosto) hasta el 21 de septiembre, fecha en la que se celebra Mabon, el festival solar que marca el equinoccio de otoño. Entre millares y legiones de hadas existe una en especial que es considerada como la reina de todas ellas, su nombre es “Titania” considerada una de las musas del gran William Shakespeare. Titania cuenta con una extensa cantidad de mitos, siempre se le representó como la
guardiana de príncipes medievales y en esencia y virtud, una de las colaboradoras más cercanas de Eros. Se cree que Titania viene anunciando la entrada de Apolo en el trono de Virgo y hace un fugaz recorrido por todo el planeta entre el día primero de agosto y el 21 de septiembre. En algunas naciones europeas se acostumbra ofrendar en los jardines de las casas, un ramo de flores silvestres recogidas en el campo, esto se hace con el fin de darle la bienvenida a Titania y pedir de ella un favor. Titania brinda su auxilio en casos de melancolía, enfermedad, sueños inalcanzables y desunión familiar; aún así, sus designios principales son aquellos relacionados al encuentro del amor verdadero. Muchos hombres de ciencia han acudido a Titania para pedir de ella un favor, entre ellos se cuenta la anécdota del alemán William Herschel, uno de los astrónomos más renombrados e influyentes del siglo XVIII. Herschel soñaba con ser reconocido en su medio y como todo científico quería
hacer su aporte a la ciencia que tanto le apasionaba. Después de varios años de una exhaustiva investigación, el astrónomo descubrió en 1787 la luna más grande del planeta Urano a la que bautizó con el nombre de Titania. En eventos y conferencias que sucedieron después de este y otros grandes descubrimientos hechos por él, siempre mencionó a Titania como su guía espiritual y como la procuradora de su sueño más anhelado. *Wicca es una religión antiquísima que tuvo sus orígenes en Europa, antiguos pueblos germánicos y vikingos fueron sus principales precursores. Actualmente se ha determinado que estas creencias datan de varios miles de años antes de Cristo. Los creyentes basan su fe en la existencia de dos divinidades sagradas “ la diosa y el dios”, creadores del universo. La tierra y la naturaleza son consideradas manifestaciones divinas de los dioses.
