El empleo de las mujeres en trabajos de ciencias, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas ha disminuido Segun un informe de la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos, el empleo de las mujeres en STEM ha disminuido porque su participación en ocupaciones relacionadas con la computación bajó al 27 por ciento en 2011, después de alcanzar un elevado 34 por ciento en 1990. Los negros y los hispanos también tuvieron una representación insuficiente en empleos de STEM.

Superintendent Chris D. Funk, ESUHSD, was the special guest speaker at La Raza Roundtable’s most recent monthly meeting. Funk’s presentation was based on recent strategic planning sessions which involved all stakeholders (administration, teachers, students, parents, and business). ESUHSD and its seven feeder school districts, serve 85,000 students, which is the third largest school district in California. For the first time ever, all eight school districts have agreed to the same standards, so that the course content, statistics and other metrics can be meaningfully compared and correlated to measure progress. One question posed was: “How will we transform teaching across the (ES-

Este 16 de septiembre nosotros los mexicanos estaremos celebrando nuestra independencia de la brutalidad española, por más de tres siglos esta nación hizo de las suyas con todos los habitantes del territorio “la Nueva España”, dejando un mal hábito en el mexicano de celo e inseguridad, a tal grado que no nos es fácil aceptar los logros ajenos. Este mal hábito social es el resultado directo de la explotación de nuestro pueblo.

UHSD) organization?” in order for student outcomes to change? What has to change in the learning environment? Is it learning tasks and instructional approaches to ensure that every student is successful? The responses became our “WHY?” And the proposed solutions became our “HOW”. The goal is to graduate every student, prepared for college and career, empowered to transform their lives, and thrive in a global competitive economy and society. Now ESUHSD’s updated mission is to align decisions to create safe, dynamic, and relevant learning environments that inspire critical thinking, problem solving and innovation. Core values include: a) equity; b) inclusion; c) commitment to excellence; d) diversity; and e) development of professional capacity. Equity requires resource allocations which develop practices and cultivate mindsets to ensure that every student meets or
exceeds standards. Inclusiveness requires personal models of professional integrity through practices which are respectful, transparent, and proactively engage parents, students, staff, and community. Commitment to excellence requires a practiced belief in continuous updating and improvements using a culture of openness, inquiry, and collaboration. “We honor and respect those who take responsibility by taking initiative and demonstrate innovative creativity. Diversity is a valuable asset bringing in an enriching global view which strengthens and enriches our community. The enhancement of professional capacity requires a belief in, and investment in, the development of every employee and volunteer within this education system. This involves development of ability of all to communicate with each other to enable and facilitate improvements and understandings. This leads one to a ‘theory of action’ resulting in improve-
ment of quality of instruction. Here key performance measurements are used to define current status and permit discernment of progress. Factors to be used are: 1) graduation rate; 2) dropout rate; 3) A to G completion rates; 4) college and career readiness; and 5) closure of the achievement gap. A continuous cycle of inquiry and data gathering are used to align actions at every level; study and analyze results, and after reflection and adjustments are made, to enable informed communication with all stakeholders about the new innovative learning structures, which include professional learning communities, social and human capital formation & improvements. The next steps will complete strategies which become ‘action plans’ which enable application of our values, vision, and mission. Key performance measurements are used to measure what matters. Strategic planning based on this current performance informa-

tion permits substantive and objective communication with members of the East Side Alliance (ESA). These include ESUHSD, Oak Grove, Evergreen, Franklin McKinley, Mount Pleasant, Evergreen Community College District, San Jose State University, and Silicon Valley Education Foundation. The East Side Alliance is the group today dealing with the community’s 85,000 students. Their ESA Memorandum of Understanding describes (articulates) the current accepted standards of PK-16 instruction; defines the placement of Algebra 1 and Geometry; defines requirements of collaboration regarding the implementation of Common Core Standards; requires use of a common set of metrics to benchmark student progress and permits meaningful data sharing. The community’s stakeholders must understand that the above is just the beginning. The next steps involve coordinated systematic reallocation
3
of existing funding to enable implementation, execution, evaluation, and adjustments. The professional associations and unions must devise responsible avenues which permit the re-assignment of those teachers who are tenured, but simply out of date while awaiting retirement. Local Silicon Valley high tech industries executives must ‘buy in their own interests’ by providing substantial contributions. For example, If each student (all 85,000) were to have an e-book (estimated cost: $400 each), then $34 million is needed to permit ESUHSD to immediately adopt latest IT teaching methods. A local pilot project has already demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach at Adelante Dual Language Charter School (ARUSD). The local ultrawealthy must become enabling stakeholders by contributing the $34 million immediately, enabling these 85,000 ESIJSD students to become the future local skilled labor force.

COMMUNITY
San Jose CALIFORNIA People Acting in Community Together (PACT), public officials, community organizations and community members celebrated the launch of a project that will benefit thousands of people in the Valley who need affordable public transportation. PACT, faith and community leaders won significantly expanded access to affordable transit through more than two years of grassroots community organizing and collaboration with VTA, MTC, the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County. The Santa Clara County Emergency Assistance Network (EAN) will have 1,000 monthly transit passes available each month for $25. Currently no discount is available on VTA passes for

low-income residents and the passes sell for $70 per month. Many people cannot get $70 together at once because they are paying high rents and working at low wages, so they buy passes daily and often spend even more. Agencies will distribute the monthly passes to those most likely to benefit from the discount by going to work, school and participating in programs and opportunities that will help lift them out of poverty. Monika Kessling, who works a part time job and cleans houses said, “This will help me and others I know who couldn’t afford a monthly pass. They won’t have to worry each day about whether they have a way to get places, like to apply for a job.” Kessling spoke at an earlier PACT action and convinced public officials to take action.
have long championed the need for a discount transit pass based on income. The congregations are near transit hubs and are inundated with requests for assistance with transportation funds.
The celebration marked the launch of a two-year reduced price transit pass pilot project that is funded by a $1.3 million grant from Metropolitan Transit Commission. The purpose of the pilot project is to study a discounted system for low income people that would increase ridership and make public transportation more consistently available to those who struggle regularly to find adequate trans-
portation. VTA currently has discount passes available at $25 per month for students, seniors, and those with disabilities, but unlike other major cities, including San Francisco, the county has no discount available for those living in poverty in the Silicon Valley.

CALIFORNIA En California, los cítricos son parte de nuestra historia y panorama. En la nación, California es el estado que más produce cítricos frescos, y los dueños de hogar en California tenemos más árboles cítricos en nuestros patios que cualquier otro estado. Ahora los árboles cítricos del estado están siendo amenazados. El psilido asiático de los cítricos se disemina por California y puede transportar una enfermedad de árboles llamada Huanglongbing (HLB), que es sentencia de muerte para los cítricos de California. El HLB ya ha sido detectado en el estado, y no tiene cura. Cuando un árbol queda infectado, muere.
Rev. Dana Bainbridge of First Christian Church said, “We are grateful that VTA and our public officials have worked with us to provide a positive transportation solution for those who find the simple task, of getting to work or an appointment, a daily challenge. While the pilot project is a great beginning, it is ultimately about discovering a longterm solution to the overarching issue of poverty in the Silicon Valley. Access to transportation is a key element in empowering people.” People making less than 200% of the poverty level will be eligible for the re-

A los propietarios se les pide inspeccionar sus árboles para indicios del psílido asiático de los cítricos y del HLB, y reportar plagas sospechosas e indicios del HLB de inme-

The passes will be distributed through the seven community service agencies which comprise the Santa Clara County Emergency Assistance Network: Sacred Heart Community Center, Salvation Army, InnVision, Sunnyvale Community Services, Community Services of Mountain View-Los Altos, West Valley Community Services, and St. Joseph’s Family Center in Gilroy. The downtown San Jose PACT group believes transportation is the center of opportunity. Opportunity follows mobility. It provides access to all the resources necessary for a healthy, prosperous life. Access to jobs is essential to accessing economic opportunity. Transportation investments can be a powerful force in creating social equity.

SACRAMENTO New science standards designed to prepare students to thrive in a changing economy were approved today by the State Board of Education, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced. “The adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards in California mark a crucial step in making sure our students are prepared to succeed after they leave our classrooms,” Torlakson said. “Scientific information and
technology have changed remarkably since the last time California updated its science standards, and how and what we teach have to change with them. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) will bring science instruction up to date. NGSS emphasizes a deeper focus on understanding the cross-cutting concepts within and across scientific disciplines. These new standards integrate engineering practices with science practices to help students understand the work-
ings of science and the natural world. They also provide a coherent progression of learning from kindergarten through grade 12, so students learn step by step the knowledge and skills they need for college and careers. “The Next Generation Science Standards represent a huge leap forward for California’s students and our schools,” said Mike Kirst, president of the State Board of Education. “Scientific innovation remains at the core of the California economy, and schools play a huge role

in equipping the workforce of tomorrow.” Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related industries are major components of California’s economy. A 2011 U.S. Department of Commerce study, “STEM: Good Jobs Now and For the Future,” found that over the past 10 years, growth in jobs involving STEM fields was three times greater than that of non-STEM occupations. The report also forecast that STEM jobs are expected to continue to grow at a faster rate than others in the coming decade. California was among the lead states that developed the standards, in a voluntary process conducted in an open and collaborative way over the last 18 months. California teachers, scientists, college professors, business and industry leaders, and educational experts all took part in an 80-member Cali-
fornia NGSS review team that thoroughly examined the standards five times. Next, a Strategic Leadership Team will be appointed by Torlakson to develop a plan to implement the NGSS. This includes a timeline for implementation, adopting a science framework, developing student assessments, and strategies for school districts. Once the team completes its work, their strategic action plan will be presented to the State

Board of Education for approval at a future meeting.In the meantime, California is preparing to host its first annual STEM Symposium, set for November 18-19, 2013, at the Sacramento Convention Center. This symposium will highlight how quality STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs align with Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards and provide strategies and resources for program implementation.

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION Disagreements are part of any relationship and, for most of us, our jobs are as much a relationship as our marriages, family and friendships. In fact, you probably spend more waking hours each week in your work relationship than you do in any other relationship. So what happens when there is a disagreement on the job? It can be a real problem when it occurs with someone with more authority than you. But the old saying is that a problem is only a problem when you can do something about it. It’s important to accept that you can’t change any person. What you can change is any incomplete or incorrect information relevant to the situation. In such cases, differences can often be worked out by

the undocumented (http:// www.phdreamers.org/). Pre-Health Dreamers also supports more pro-Dreamer policies and raises awareness of the issue among the general public and concerned entities. By striving to include the undocumented in the health care workforce, Pre-Health Dreamers seeks to build a health care system responsive to the needs of the entire community. Many PHD members are also involved in CAHPSA and advocate for a single payer health care system that would cover everyone, including the undocumented and other some other immigrants excluded by Obamacare. The audience heard testimony that insurance company profiteers and unscrupulous politicians were working
logically and coolly presenting corrected or updated facts. But if disagreements are growing out of the type of person your boss is, or his or her work style, that’s not something you’re going to change. Instead, you want to figure out how to manage the situation so that at the end you’ll feel good about yourself and how you handled things. Start by evaluating how important the disagreement is. Don’t let your emotions make a big deal out of what is really a small problem. It then helps to decide whether to address the problem now or later. Sometimes waiting to voice objections is the smarter move, while at other times waiting may lead to bigger problems. You also should decide whether to deal with the disagreement directly or in-
overtime to strangle Obamacare before it even gets out of the starting gate. Many unions are fearful that companies will use Obamacare as an excuse to offer only cheap “bronze” insurance plans that inadequately insure workers and their families. MediCal recipients testified that the Obamacare MediCal expansion is being subverted by legislative cuts to MediCal coverage and reduced doctor reimbursements, causing many to refuse to see MediCal patients at all. In this deteriorating situation it is more important than ever to move forward to a full universal single payer health care system for everyone. Expanded and improved “Medicare for All” is the answer. Health care is a human right.
directly. Talking with the boss about differences under the right circumstances can sometimes be effective. At other times, talking with a friend or colleague may provide insights leading to a more satisfactory personal outcome. Once you’ve decided how to handle the situation, approach it logically. Consider various alternative courses of action. Select what seems the best and then proceed implementing it. You want your actions to be the result of clear and careful consideration, not a heated response. It’s important to remember that you are never going to change the other person. And simply winning the argument is not your aim. Instead, your goal is to reach the end of the situation feeling as good as possible about the way you handled it, even if it all doesn’t go your way.

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY Pocas cosas nos atemorizan más que una auditoría del IRS. Aun cuando estemos seguros de haber demostrado hasta el último centavo de nuestros ingresos y de haber hecho solo las deducciones que correspondían, nos preocupa lo que pueda revelar un examen minucioso de nuestras declaraciones fiscales –sin mencionar el tiempo que nos puede llevar rastrear viejos registros.
(BPT) Many small business owners are hopeful that offering their products online will increase their bottom line. But the digital marketplace is increasingly crowded and it can be hard to stand out from the pack. The good news is that being a small business can actually give you an edge over bigger brands - if you know how to use your size to your advantage. Here are the do’s and don’ts you need to take your business to the next level: Don’t build your own online shopping platform. While you may believe that having your own website will attract new shoppers, website development and maintenance is expensive and time consuming. Unless your brand already has the visibility needed to attract consumers without advertising or marketing, traffic to the site will be hard to generate. Don’t expect your products to sell on a large online marketplace. While big online marketplaces, like Amazon or eBay, attract a high volume of online shoppers, unless customers are searching specifically for your brand or

Estas son algunas de las cosas que nos pueden ayudar a disipar esos miedos y a estar mejor preparados si alguna vez nos eligen para someternos a las tan temidas auditorías del IRS:
Hay tres tipos básicos de auditorías del IRS: Auditoría por correspondencia, que se realiza completamente por correo. Usted recibirá una carta del IRS solicitándole más información sobre cuestiones específicas de su declaración fiscal. Auditoría de campo, en la que un agente del IRS va a su casa o empresa para revisar los registros y observar dónde trabaja. Auditoría en las oficinas, donde usted será entrevistado en una oficina del IRS. Según Chris Kollaja, un contador público y socio de A.L. Nella & Company de San Francisco, California, si la auditoría es por correspondencia y usted cree que sus registros son demasiado voluminosos para enviar por correo, se puede solicitar una auditoría en persona. “También le puede pedir a un representante, como su contador, un preparador fiscal o un abogado, que lo ayude a prepararse para la audito-
ría e incluso que asista a la auditoría en su lugar, si se lo permiten”, dice Kollaja. “Un experto en impuestos puede decirle qué puede ocurrir, qué debe decir y cómo salir airoso de la auditoría si se pone nervioso y no sabe qué responder o comienza a divulgar más información de la necesaria”. Las chances de ser sometido a una auditoría son pocas. “A veces, el IRS selecciona declaraciones fiscales al azar para realizar las auditorías, pero en la mayoría de los casos, las realizan cuando el análisis informático de la declaración arroja algún resultado llamativo”, explica.
Cosas que suelen dar lugar a una auditoría: Los ingresos imponibles que figuran en su declaración no coinciden con los montos de los formularios W-2 o 1099, el plan 401(k) o las distribuciones de la cuenta IRA, las cuentas de corretaje, etc. Hacer deducciones por caridad mayores al promedio con respecto a sus ingresos. Deducir gastos de comidas de negocios, viajes y entretenimiento. Reclamar la deducción por trabajar en casa. No declarar bienes en cuentas de bancos extranjeros. Ocultar ingresos en efectivo o recibos. Transacciones en efectivo superiores a $10.000. Su relación cercana con otro contribuyente que está siendo auditado. Alguien denuncia que usted realiza actividades sospechosas (el IRS ofrece una recompensa por denunciar prácticas ilegales).
Kollaja recomienda varias formas de prepararse y asistir a una auditoría: Responder al IRS dentro del plazo establecido –generalmente 30 días. Organizar todos los papeles y recibos correspondientes a las cuestiones identificadas. Si no llega a tiempo a preparar todo para la auditoría, contáctese con su auditor para ver si la realizarán de todos modos o si pueden posponerla. Lleve o envíe solo la documentación solicitada en la notificación inicial. Si la auditoría es en persona, responda escuetamente y no dé voluntariamente información que pueda disparar una investigación más extensa. Si el auditor le pregunta por alguna cosa que no esté mencionada en la notificación inicial, usted puede pedir más tiempo para satisfacer los pedidos adicionales. Nunca entregue los recibos originales al agente del IRS, ya que no se hacen responsables por la pérdida de documentación. Puede grabar en audio la auditoría siempre que se lo haya comunicado por escrito a su agente 10 días antes de la cita. No se permiten grabaciones de video. Sea siempre amable. Si actúa agresivamente o con evasivas solo dificultará la situación. Kollaja sugiere leer la Publicación 556 del IRS para interiorizarse un poco más sobre el proceso de auditoría, y revisar la sección sobre deducciones detalladas de la Publicación 17. Ambas se encuentran en www.irs.gov.

Purchase of Triple Buck Ranch to add 490 Acres and link Little Arthur Property Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA The County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution consummating the purchase of the 490-acre Della Maggiora property, also known as the Triple Buck Ranch, located on Redwood Retreat Road in Gilroy. The purchase will enable the County to expand the current Mt. Madonna
El Centenario Posada 2013 celebrates José Guadalupe Posada’s work and influence San Jose CALIFORNIA El Centenario Posada 2013 opens September 13 in San Jose’s Mexican Consulate as part of the 22nd Annual MundoFox ¡VivaFest!, the country’s only month-long, multi-venue celebration of the best in Latino culture. This free exhibition marks the 100 year anniversary of José Guadalupe Posada’s death with a sampling of his satirical political illustrations, sensational, religious and historical works highlighted by his images of ‘calaveras’ or skeletons that inspire today’s artwork surrounding the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. Curated by Jim Nikas, the exhibition celebrates Posada’s legacy using specially selected works from the New World Prints Collection, the largest private collection of
County Park and the trail system in the park. The Della Maggiora property is located on the northern boundary of and bordered on three sides by Mt. Madonna County Park. The property, a blend of steep, chaparral-covered cliffs, grassland, oak woodland and redwood forest, contains over one half mile of Little Arthur Creek which flows through the property and provides
habitat for wildlife, including steelhead. “The acquisition of the property is a logical expansion of Mt. Madonna County Park, and provides our residents with additional recreational opportunities,” said Supervisor Mike Wasserman, District 1, and Chair of the County’s Housing, Land Use, Environment and Transportation.
Posada’s work in the United States. Work honoring Posada’s contributions from contemporary Mexican and American artists to political cartoonists along with artwork from Cheech Marin’s Chicano Art Collection, plus an original print of “La Catrina,” Posada’s most iconic calavera image, may all be seen.
1852, Posada spent the last 25 years of his life in Mexico City. His thousands of illustrations from political cartoons to religious art captured the time in which he lived. Hailed as the “printmaker to the Mexican people,” Posada’s artistic influence and legacy inspired the likes of famed muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco among hundreds of other artists. Posada’s influence is everywhere today especially in the Day of the Dead imagery he popularized, but also in the art of today’s social protest movements. Posada died in obscurity on January 20, 1913 and was buried in a common grave. He left neither descendants nor writings. Today he is regarded as one of Mexico’s greatest artists.
The 22nd Annual MundoFox ¡VivaFest!, featuring the best Latino music, art, dance and film combined with educational music and dance workshops and community conversations, taking place now – September 28 throughout San Jose. Produced by the non-profit Mexican Heritage Corporation, this destination event showcases and explores Latino culture, inviting a better understanding of its treasures and heritage. El Centenario Posada 2013 runs through December 30, 2013, Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at The Mexican Consulate, 2125 Zanker Road, San Jose, CA. Free. About José Guadalupe Posada: Born in Aquascalientes, Mexico on February 2,
FUNDRAISER: All MundoFox ¡VivaFest! proceeds benefit the non-profit Mexican Heritage Corporation and San Jose Unified School District’s Joint Mariachi Youth Education Program which provides a rigorous standards-based music program in mariachi for students from diverse communities.
The acquisition will enable County Parks to expand a portion of Mt. Madonna County Park to Redwood Retreat Road, and link the park to the County-owned “island” known as the 16acre Little Arthur property which is currently separated from Mt. Madonna County Park by the Della Maggiora property. The plan for the expansion also includes a future trail linkage from the Little Arthur property to Mt. Madonna County Park. The County of Santa Clara has been working with Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) on the purchase of the 490-acre property through a two-phased property transfer. In November
2012, POST acquired 260 acres and the County agreed to manage the property until the County could acquire the remaining 230 acres from POST. The County’s final purchase of the property from POST and Della Maggiora property trustee costs approximately $4,000,000. This land acquisition is funded through a partnership with the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) through Resources Legacy funding ($525,000), the County Park Charter Land Acquisition Fund ($2,700,000), and the California Coastal Conservancy ($750,000). “Acquiring the Della Maggiora property by leveraging Park Charter Funds with
other resources enables us to make greater headway in our goal to have an interconnected network of parks in rural, suburban and urban areas,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese, District 3. “This logical expansion of Mt. Madonna County Park will provide residents with a seamless experience of Little Arthur Creek and the surrounding habitat.” A Phase I Environmental Assessment was completed in 2012. The purchase of Della Maggiora property is contingent upon the completion of an update of the Environmental Assessment, which is expected by the end of September 2013.

Cinthia Rodriguez EL OBSERVADOR In celebration of Latino Heritage Month four inspirational Bay Area Latinos were recognized as local heroes by KQED and Union Bank. The 2013 Latino Heritage Month honorees include public policy expert, Orson Aguilar, career-training leader Rose Amador-Le Beau, student mentoring innovator Stephanie Bravo, and labor advocate Maria Marroquin. All four local heroes are making a positive impact in the Bay Area and are role models for younger generations of Latino Americans. “It’s a great honor but I don’t see it being me, I see being the organization that’s being recognized. I may be the CEO but I’m not the one that runs all the
programs,” said Rose Amador-Le Beau. “We have a very hard working staff that keeps this program going and supports our students and the community. Its all about CTC, it’s not about me. “
Amador-Le Beau, of Mexican descent, grew up in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania with her sister, three brothers, and parents. By the time she was 12, her father decided to take a job offer
in California. She attended Willow High School and De Anza College. She received her Bachelor’s in management from Saint Mary’s College.
For over thirty years, Amador-Le Beau has been President and C.E.O. of the Center for Training and Careers, Inc., (CTC), a highly respected community nonprofit organization in San Jose that provides a variety of services including; Voca-

One of her greatest accomplishments is acquiring their own building four years ago. CTC’s years of success has also been documented in the Congressional Record by Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren. “My father was very involved in the community. He raised us to be

very civic minded, community minded when we were very young,” said AmadorLe Beau. “He would have us passing out leaflets for different fundraisers or for people that were running for office, working phone banks.” Amador-Le Beau is involved in numerous advocacy and civic groups. She is co-founder of La Raza Roundtable de California, an influential advocacy organization that has become an instrument for change to the betterment of the Latino community. She has represented the National Council of La Raza at the state and national levels. She is also active in the Native/Indigenous community and credits her Yaqui heritage for her strong interest. For ten years, she
has been producing and hosting a weekly community television program, Native Voice TV. Her show received runner up for Best Community Talk Show nationally in Washington D.C.
“It’s very rewarding to see people become self sufficient, that’s why we’re here, that’s our main purpose,” said Amador-Le Beau. Community leader Amador-Le Beau has been named Woman of the Year by the California State Assembly, received a Vida Award for A Life f Service by the American Diabetes Association and has been listed as 100 Most Influential Latinos of Silicon Valley. She is also a self-proclaimed sports fanatic. Her favorite teams are the San Francisco Giants, 49ers, and the San Jose Sharks.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR One of the two holidays most known in Latin America, specifically MexicanAmerican, here in the United States fall under Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) and Day of the Dead (November 1st). What is generally forgotten or misinterpreted is the Dia de la Independencia, which falls on September 16th. Unlike the 4th of July, there is different traditions and meaning associated with the revolutionary victory of the Mexican people against the push of the Spanish Colonial Government in the early 1800’s. Cinco de Mayo would commemorate a victory over the French years later. The importance of the date lies in it being the one that gained independence after 200 years of Spanish rule. To start off, Spain had brought some of its vast naval fleets to the Americas and the Philippines in order to secure property for the motherland in Europe. The Aztec empire fell to the Spanish conquistadores in 1521 which began the nearly 300 year rule over the Americas. This empire was known as New Spain, or Nueva España, their motto, “Further Beyond” was similar to what would one day be the U.S.A.’s Manifest Destiny in the late 1700’s.
What strikes the most resounding chord in the situation with Spain is that after years of owning, changing, and essentially eradicating the culture and language from the Aztec people and their descendants, the now Mexican community held their beliefs closely and accumulated a strength that would lead to a decade long war for independence. This is where the date of September 16th comes into play, as it would be the day the match was set for the events of revolution. In 1810, in the small town of Dolores, Guanajuato, the revolt against the Spanish government began with the ideas from one man, Miguel Hidalgo Y Costilla, a Catholic Priest who denounced the Spanish rule, the treatment of his fellow Mexicans, and the systematic process of erasing the history and religion of their forefathers since the conquering. Organizing took place and plans were made. On that September 16th the “Grito de Dolores”, the “Cry of Dolores”, resonated with the Mexican people of the town. Also known as the cry of Independence, the message soon spread as the church bells rang, not for mass but for community gatherings which would create dialogue and ultimately the first steps
of insurgency against the Spanish rule. This Grito is what ultimately resonates with Mexican people today as the catalyst to revolution, much like the ringing of the liberty bell or Paul Revere’s night ride would resonate with the United States. In the capital of the country, Mexico City is alive and celebratory starting at 11pm on September 16th. The custom is that the president of the country rings the bell of the National Palace (Palacio Nacional), recites a speech based on the Grito de Dolores, and follows with 3 chants of “Viva Mexico” and raucous cheers from the thousands that gather in the capital. Parties, fireworks and general celebration follow throughout the night. There are also hot dogs like their northern neighbor, but they may or may not have bacon wrapped around them. What started as a peasant’s rebellion against the colonial masters snowballed into an alliance with the ex-Mexican royalists which propelled it into a decade which changed the landscape of the Americas as we know it. Although Cinco de Mayo is the louder, more festive of the two in this country, it should be noted that in Mexico September 16th will be no quiet time, only celebration over the anniversary of the independence of native people against the external oppressor.

The work of four Bay Area artists will appear in unexpected places from September 14 through November 17, 2013, as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) presents site-responsive projects by the 2012 winners of its signature SECA Art Award: Zarouhie Abdalian, Josh Faught, Jonn Herschend, and David Wilson. For the first time in the history of the museum’s biennial award program honoring noteworthy Bay Area artists, SFMOMA has commissioned all four recipients to create new work and to present it outside of the traditional gallery context. Encompassing a wide range of media, these diverse projects will be installed in various non-art spaces of the artists’ choosing in San Francisco and Oakland and will be on view for free to the public for two months this fall. Estab-

lished to recognize Bay Area artists of exceptional talent with an exhibition, accompanying catalogue, and an honorarium, the biennial award is supported by SECA (Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art), an SFMOMA art interest group. The art award has been at the center of SECA’s multifaceted activities over the past half century, offering an inside look at the most outstanding art being made right here in the Bay Area. During the SECA exhibition, Abdalian activates downtown Oakland with a sound installation of bells; Faught responds to the Neptune Society Columbarium in San Francisco’s Inner Richmond neighborhood with textile-based sculptures; Herschend investigates SFMOMA’s temporary art and office relocation through a film shot
on site at the museum and presented online; and Wilson organizes a series of selfguided tours that lead to sites throughout San Francisco, starting from a trailhead at the front of the SFMOMA’s currently closed Third Street building. This unique multi-location presentation of the SECA Art Award exhibition is organized by Jenny Gheith, assistant curator of painting and sculpture, and Tanya Zimbardo, assistant curator of media arts. Gheith and Zimbardo announced the four award winners on December 13, 2012; the selection process included a review of over 250 applications from nominated artists. Fifteen finalists were chosen by the award curators for studio visits and also asked to submit a proposal for a solo commission at a potential location. The four award win-
Exhibition Tells the Story of Mexican and Latino Printmaking San Francisco CALIFORNIA Just in time to kick-off Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs annually from September 15 to October 15, The Mexican Museum opens a new exhibition titled “Dialogos Gráficos” (Graphic Dialogues). The exhibit opens Sept. 13 and runs through April 2014. The highly unique exhibition, which comprises pieces from the museum’s renowned permanent collection, will showcase the rich printmaking traditions of Mexico, dating back to the days of José Guadalupe Posada (1851–1913) through
today’s modern graphic artists and printmakers. Posada is known as the grandfather of Mexican printmaking. The exhibition will show how Posada’s work is key to understanding the social and aesthetic direction of Mexican and Latino art up into the 21st century. His art is easily recognized today for its satirical use of Calaveras (skulls), a motif that continues to have a tremendous influence on art related to Day of the Dead celebrations beginning each year on November 2. Posada’s art also directly influenced the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP), an artist’s print collective that was founded in Mexico in
1937 and primarily dedicated to using art to advance revolutionary social causes. The TGP still exists to this day. The two-part exhibition is made up of an historical and a contemporary section, and traces a narrative of Mexican and Latino graphic arts in the 20th Century. Artists featured in the historical section are: Posada, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jose Clemente Orozco, Leopoldo Mendez, Francisco Mora and Alfredo Zalce. The contemporary portion features: Rene Castro, Enrique Chagoya, Juan R. Fuentes, Rupert Garcia, Carmen Lomas Garza and Esther Hernandez.

ners were selected based on the strengths of their previous artistic work and their new proposals. “This off-site iteration provided us with an incredible opportunity to rethink and reimagine the exhibition model for this long-standing award,” says Gheith. “By presenting four solo commissions sited at locations of the artist’s choosing, we are able to realize projects that highlight their distinct visions and share their work more broadly.” Zimbardo adds, “There is a dynamic range of art being presented now in the Bay Area outside of the gallery context in the urban environment. This is the perfect moment for SFMOMA to be able to directly contribute to this dialogue around contemporary art in the public sphere.”
Two young San Jose artists – Christian Furuta, an Evergreen Valley College student, and Mimi Truong, a junior at Pioneer High School – are winners of Working Partnerships’ anti-smoking poster contest to promote awareness of the city’s outdoor smoking ordinance among young people and communities of color. Furuta’s oil painting of a smoker being reduced to a skeleton and Truong’s pencil drawing of a smoker taking a drag on a cigarette have been reproduced on posters that will be distributed to apartment and condominium complexes. Outdoor common areas of these residential areas as well outdoor dining areas and service lines are where the ordinance forbids smoking. Their works were chosen by a vote of visitors to MACLA, the Movi-
meiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana, which displayed entries by young artists from across the city in August. Funding for our San Jose Fresh Air project was provided by The California Endowment. Furuta, 20, said he has been drawing all his life and did
animation while a student at Mount Pleasant High School. He’s enrolled in several art courses at Evergreen. “I love how much you can express yourself, “ he said. “I’ve never really liked any type of smoking or anything related to drugs, and this contest gave me a chance to express what I think about smoking.” Truong, 16, said she’s completely self-taught, beginning with stick figures in the third grade. Her school work crowded out her drawing time until her friends encouraged her to continue. “I thought this contest would be cool because I’m against smoking,” she said, “but I had no idea that I would win.”

FASHION
(NAPSM) Las familias con niños que van a la escuela primaria gastan casi $690 en artículos relacionados con el regreso a clases, de acuerdo a la Federación Nacional de Minoristas (National Retail Federation). Afortunadamente, los padres de familia pueden economizar en sus compras de ropa para que sus hijos estén a la moda; aquí te damos algunas sugerencias de Nicole Feliciano, estilista y fundadora de Momtrends: No compres todo de una sola vez. Compra lo básico primero (medias, ropa interior, ropa deportiva) y algunos conjuntos que están de moda, pero espera hasta que tus hijos vean lo que sus compañeros están usando.
EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com
Haz un presupuesto por adelantado. Es fácil entusiasmarse en el momento y gastar demasiado. Es importante saber de antemano lo que se puede gastar antes de entrar a la tienda. Elige colores complementa rios. Esto ayuda a combinar fácilmente conjuntos de ropa de diferentes estilos, creando múltiples “looks”, y además elimina el estrés al vestirse en la mañana. Una linda gama de colores para los niños son el azul marino, el gris y el color naranja. Transforma un conjunto básico con accesorios que están de moda. Elige divertidos collares, brazaletes y bufandas para adornar una camisa o vestido para darle un toque nuevo y diferente. Las mochilas de colores vivos
y divertidos son también una gran manera de modernizar un conjunto. Busca ropa ajustable. Los niños crecen bastante en poco tiempo. Así que pantalones y jeans con cinturas y dobladillos ajustables son excelentes para que sigan estando a la moda mientras crecen. Muchas chaquetas también tienen mangas ajustables que se pueden alargar hasta por dos pulgadas. Esta clase de ropa se encuentra en las tiendas, tales como Walmart. Consulta tu propio armario. Si tu hijo tiene un artículo de ropa favorito, tómale una foto y llévala al salir de compras. Así podrás encontrar ropa que se combinará mejor en las próximas temporadas.

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR This fall take a walk on the sexy side, the bootie sexy side. Since fall is just around the corner I thought it would be nice to dedicate a column specifically to fall shoes, since there is more than one choice when it comes to finding your perfect fit and shoe that makes you feel sexy even though you’re all covered up. The booties are back! That’s right, they’re back and stronger than ever. Booties are no longer the weird second cousin-twice removed from the regular boots, this fall they are finally getting the attention they deserve and are definitely ready for their close-up. Booties are the answer to old age conundrum whether to wear boots or shoes because they are both--kind of. They are like the SUVs of the shoe world, not quite a car and not quite a van ei-
ther. The coolest thing about booties is that they come in all different styles and there is a pair for every occasion. Whether you’re feeling like a cowgirl or a vixen there are styles to fit your every mood. Casual boots are still in; only they are edgier now. Mid-boots are some of the most comfortable shoes a girl could ask for but above all they are super trendy. This year they come with all sorts of add-ons and accents from buckles to studs and even camo prints. So if you haven’t bought yourself a pair, then what are you waiting for? Let’s talk tall boots. Tall boots are simply amazeballs, they are long, lean and sexy and they give some major style to your everyday outfits. Feeling extra sexy? Get yourself a pair of tall stilettoboots but let me just warned you these are not for the faint of heart. You have to master walking in them to avoid looking like you’re wearing a pair of stilts and--this is really important--you have to
know how to wear them, and by that I mean choosing the right outfit. Afterall I don’t think you want to look like you just got off of the stripper pole. You know what I mean? Leave that for Kim K. or Snooki. Lastly lets talk shoes, and by that I mean fall shoes. For these ones I’m going to just put them all in one simple category since there are simply so many of them. We have the casual oxfords and loafers, flats, wedges, stilettos and mid-heels depending on the event or location choosing the right pair is essential. You know, I get jealous most of the time seeing the many choices women have when it comes to shoes; it’s like a buffet. However if you just want to make it easy on yourself and decide to skip all the choosing, then you can never go wrong with a pair of booties, afterall this fall it is all about the booties.

Guillermo Goyri ESPECIAL PARA EL OBSERVADOR San Francisco-- Los Enanitos Verdes regresaron triunfales al Fillmore de San Francisco el pasado Jueves 5 de Septiembre, después de un año de ausencia en tierras norteamericanas. Lo hicieron jubilosos y claramente emocionados ante un lleno casi total y armados de un arsenal de clásicos. Nos presentaron canciones del nuevo álbum, Tic Tac, que, al fin y al cabo, les ha servido como buen pretexto para juntarse y hacer lo que mejor hacen: buena música. La legendaria banda argentina liderada por el bajista Marciano Cantero y el guitarrista Felipe Staiti, ahora es complementada por el ex baterista de la banda del maestro Luis Alberto Spinetta, Jota Moreli y el segundo guitarrista Juan Pablo Staiti, hijo de Felipe, quiénes, a pesar de no ser miembros de la alineación original de los Enanitos Verdes han amalgamado sus estilos con los de Cantero y Staiti, quiénes, a pesar de los años y los cambios radicales en la industria musical, han seguido creando discos casi sin detenerse.
Los de Mendoza abrieron con uno de sus nuevos sencillos, Cocktail, el cual sirvió de primera piedra hacia lo que eventualmente se convirtió en una noche inolvidable. Al escuchar las primeras notas de esta canción, los presentes dieron el banderazo a la algarabía que privó en el Fillmore a lo largo del recital que duró aproximadamente dos horas. Así, poco a poco, clásico a clásico, los Enanitos, presos de una calma y elegancia escénica única y protegidos por un escenario iluminado de púrpuras, verdes y azules, nos hicieron viajar a lo largo y ancho de una montaña rusa de tres décadas de historia musical, mientras visitaron canciones de producciones clásicas cómo Contrarreloj, Carrousel, Guerra Gaucha, Néctar, Amores Lejanos y Big Bang, álbumes que, a la larga, los situaron entre la elite de las bandas del rock and roll iberoamericano. El público, prendido de recuerdos de infancia y de adolescencia coreó la gran mayoría de las canciones interpretadas por Marciano, especialmente la triste pero esperanzadora Eterna Soledad, la clásica Guitarras Blancas, la nueva balada sensación Tic Tac y la que Marciano dedi-
có a las chicas, Luz de Día. Después de haber interpretado tales éxitos Marciano anunció el regreso al pasado, a lo clásico de Enanitos Verdes. Las zampoñas andinas comenzaron a sonar desde el fondo del escenario y de la Fender Stratocaster de Felipe Staiti, comenzaron a escaparse los acordes de La Cordillera de los Andes. Muchos, al escuchar los coros, cayeron presos de una regresión que los transportó a otros tiempos y otros espacios. La máxima ebullición colectiva vino con las interpretaciones de aquel himno dedicado al amor eterno, “Lamento Boliviano” y la versión alternativa de la original de Marco Antonio Solís, el Buki, Tu Cárcel, la cual fue capaz de unir mágicamente las voces de todos los presentes. Cuando el principio del fin empezó a asomarse y el gentío pedía otra canción más, los Enanitos Verdes le subieron el volumen a sus amplificadores y comenzaron un popurrí de los Rolling Stones y Van Halen que terminó progresivamente en una muy digna interpretación de la canción que les valiera la fama y el reconocimiento internacional, “La Muralla Verde”.
Luego de tres meses de negociaciones, la actriz Ninel Conde llegó a un acuerdo con el productor Omar Suárez y protagonizará el musical “Perfume de Gardenia” a partir de octubre. “Al final del día se pudo cerrar esta negociación para ser ‘Gardenia’, y vamos a empezar este proyecto. Pudimos acomodar los tiempos, porque también voy a estar como jurado en ‘Mira quién baila’, entonces cada semana tengo que viajar a Miami”, comentó Conde.En declaraciones al programa de tele-
visión “Hoy”, la también cantante precisó que entre semana formará parte de la gira de la obra y dará funciones los viernes en el Foro Polanco,

excepto los fines de semana a fin de cumplir con sus otros compromisos laborales. Mientras debuta en “Perfume de Gardenia”, Conde informó que en breve iniciará una temporada de su nuevo “showcase” con una gran producción, bailarines y vestuario. Asimismo, analiza una oferta de televisión de la que pronto hablará. Ninel Conde, quien según trascendió, ya firmó el divorcio con Juan Zepeda, suplirá a Marjorie de Sousa en el montaje, en el que compartirá créditos con David Zepeda.

Mario Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Septiembre es el mes dedicado a la patria para varios países latinos como México que conmemora su independencia el 16 de septiembre, Brasil el día 7; Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala y Nicaragua el día 15. Y Chile el día 18. Para los mexicanos residentes en Estados Unidos, el 16 de septiembre marca la fecha en la que la gran nación azteca se convirtió en un estado libre y soberano. México con el paso del tiempo se ha convertido en la potencia de habla hispana y la fecha de independencia es una ocasión que invita a celebrar y sentir orgullo por este gran país. Platicando con mexicanos del Área Bahía, pude observar el inmenso amor y respeto que sienten por su bandera

y por su patria. Algunos consideran que la nación azteca pudiera ya contarse entre las 10 potencias del mundo pero consideran que le está deteniendo los gobiernos que no permiten que el país se desarrolle más rápidamente. De entre los entrevistados me llamó la atención el comentario de uno de ellos: “Hay que pedirle a Austria que devuelva a México el penacho de Moctezuma” Se conoce como penacho de Moctezuma a un quetzalapanecáyotl o tocado de plumas de quetzal hermosamente adornado con oro y piedras preciosas que por su riqueza, belleza y antigüedad tiene un valor estimado de alrededor de 50 millones de dólares, aunque su valor histórico es “incalculable”, y por engaños y trampas de Hernán Cortés, éste según los historiadores, le fue obsequiado por Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, y Cortés lo obsequió al entonces Rey de
España Carlos I. El penacho actualmente se exhibe en el museo de etnología de Viena, Austria. El penacho así como otros objetos de oro y piedras preciosas que fueron sustraídos de México por el timador de Hernán Cortés, amparándose según él en la religión... llegaron a la región que ahora comprende Austria y Alemania alrededor de 1519-1523, pues en esa época el Rey de España vivía en esa región. Actualmente existe una réplica del penacho en el Museo Nacional de Antropología, sin embargo, el gobierno mexicano ha pedido formalmente a Austria que el Penacho sea devuelto a dónde pertenece a “México”, pero el gobierno de Austria insiste en que no lo devolverá. Que tristeza que esta nación europea no devuelva un artículo tan valioso, no es de ellos, “no les pertenece”, los conquistadores saquearon
México (NOTIMEX) Llegaron las fiestas patrias y con ellas los sonidos y colores, pero sobre todo los olores y sabores típicos de la temporada, donde destacan los platillos como el pozole, los chiles en nogada, el mole, los tamales o los antojitos. Todas estas comidas tradicionales incluyen en sus recetas el ingrediente representativo de México, el chile. Frescos o secos, grandes o chicos, unos más picosos que otros y de diferentes colores, los chiles son considerados uno de los pilares de la gastronomía nacional y su origen data de tiempos prehispánicos, principalmente en Centro y Sudamérica. Y aunque no de modo exclusivo, define a México frente a otras gastronomías del mundo. El chile es un fruto de la familia de las solanáceas que se culti-
va en regiones de clima tropical o templado y tan solo en la República Mexicana existen más de 40 variedades, de ahí la diversidad de platillos que se pueden preparar con este producto en cada región del país. Y aunque el consumo excesivo puede provocar algunas molestias gastrointestinales, los chiles tienen un alto valor nutritivo ya que son ricos en vitaminas C y A, y en menor medida E, P y B. Además de

que el chile induce a digerir mejor las proteínas del maíz y del frijol. Con el tradicional Grito del 15 de Septiembre llega una explosión de sabores gracias a la variedad de comida que se prepara en los estados para esta fecha, y que pese a su diversidad tienen un ingrediente en común: el chile como base o condimento. “¡Ahora es cuando chile verde le has de dar sabor al
a los pueblos indígenas y los historiadores han manipulado en muchas ocasiones la información, pues todo lo escrito sobre los pueblos precolombinos era maniobrado en aquel entonces por la iglesia y la inquisición. Muchos
tesoros de nuestros pueblos ahora se exhiben en París, Madrid, Viena y otras ciudades europeas, pero si fueran en nuestros países donde se exhibieran tesoros históricos de Francia, Alemania o España entonces pusieran el
grito en el cielo. La verdad es una vergüenza que el gobierno de Austria no le devuelva a México el tocado de Moctezuma. Deberían hacer lo correcto pues esa pieza no les pertenece.
caldo!”, reza el dicho, pero este fruto con su variedad está presente no sólo en los caldos sino en infinidad de platillos y los chiles que más se utilizan son: el serrano, empleado principalmente en la preparación de salsas y que por su sabor picante complementa bien cualquier comida.
el de árbol que pueden ser preparados en salsas, o fritos junto con algún guisado. El chile ancho, el pasilla, cascabel, guajillo, chipotle, el mulato o el morita forman parte de la familia de los chiles secos que por su color o picor son utilizados en muchas ocasiones, además de en salsas, para adobos de diversos platillos.
La unión de los tres alimentos es altamente sustanciosa, por lo que un taco de frijoles con salsa no solamente es sabroso sino nutritivo.
El habanero, que se acostumbra para salsas de platillos hechos a base de cerdo o carne de res, y en México se cosecha principalmente en el estado de Yucatán; el jalapeño, también utilizado en varias salsas aunque incluso funciona como chile relleno de queso, atún, pescados, u otros guisados. El poblano es otro elemento indispensable en la comida nacional, especialmente para los chiles rellenos o los famosos chiles en nogada; además de estos están el manzano o
¡Chiquito pero picoso! es otro de los dichos asociados a este fruto y que es acertado ya que de acuerdo con investigaciones científicas los chiles más pequeños son los más picantes como el habanero, el chipotle, el manzano, el piquín o el de árbol que también son producidos en México. Este fruto picante es el elemento unificador entre el maíz y el frijol, los otros dos grandes ingredientes esenciales de la cocina mexicana.
La variedad de chiles y sus usos en la cocina nacional es amplia y ello ha permitido en gran medida que esta gastronomía sea reconocida en todo el mundo. En 2010 la Organización de Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) declaró a la comida mexicana como patrimonio cultural inmaterial de la humanidad. Pero más allá de las variedades de platillos que se preparan o condimentan con chile, este producto se ha convertido en un símbolo de identidad nacional, que junto con el maíz y el tequila, son imprescindibles en las comidas que se degustan en las fiestas del Grito de Independencia.

México (NOTIMEX) En octubre del año pasado, el presidente de la FMF, Justino Compeán, “presumía” los 250 millones de dólares que genera durante cada ciclo mundialista la Selección Mexicana de futbol, lo cual cobra factura por los descuidos en el plano deportivo que irremediablemente han generado fatalismo en el entorno del Tricolor. El alto costo es la eventual eliminación hacia la Copa del Mundo Brasil 2014, luego de un triunfo, cinco empates,
dos derrotas, estas en los dos últimos encuentros por 1-2 ante Honduras y 0-2 frente a Estados Unidos para un quinto lugar con ocho puntos en la clasificación del Hexagonal Final la Concacaf. El vicepresidente de Pumas de la UNAM, Mario Trejo, pone el dedo en una de las llagas de este fracaso, el aspecto financiero que ha sido preponderante en la presidencia de Compeán al frente de la Federación Mexicana de Futbol (FMF). “Siempre (debemos) estar en una actitud crítica, va-

El 25 de octubre del año pasado Compeán hablaba de los 250 millones de dólares y explicaba que 150 de ellos era para mantener activas a todas las representaciones nacionales, incluidas sus giras

Los Spartans Night will take place Friday, September 27 vs. Utah State, with kickoff at 6:00 p.m. Nationally televised on ESPN, this game is a highly anticipated rematch. Utah State was only one of two teams who defeated the Spartans last season.

The mixer will include cultural performances, Hispanic music and food catered by Chavez Supermarkets, one of the official sponsors of this event who has donated 1,000 Los Spartan Night t-shirts for those who purchase tickets to the event. Fans can purchase tickets online, by phone, and at every Chavez Supermarket. Fans who purchase tickets at Chavez Supermarkets will also receive two free children
Tickets are $25 and include entrance into the networking mixer event, a reserved seat in section in 108, and a limited edition Los Spartans Night t-shirt. Supplies are limited. Even though San José State students are admitted free into Spartan home games, they must still purchase a ticket to be admitted into the networking event and to receive a Los Spartans Night t-shirt.

y cuerpo técnico, y los otros 100se destinan a los clubes para el desarrollo de sus fuerzas básicas. Esa generación de recursos ha sido a través de una sobreexplotación del Tricolor Mayor, que hasta hoy lleva 19 juegos disputados, mas dos que faltan del hexagonal de la Concacaf y otro el 30 de octubre ante Finlandia en San Diego, California, serían 22, cifra que puede aumentar si va al repechaje ante Nueva Zelanda.
La FMF tiene contrato con Soccer United Marketing para jugar cinco encuentros por año en territorio estadunidense y muchos de los juegos son ante selecciones que poco pueden beneficiar a los mexicanos. Inclusive entrenadores y jugadores expresan de “compromiso por cumplir” con estos encuentros llamados de preparación, pero que realmente dejan por poco en el aspecto deportivo, pero sí en lo financiero a la FMF.

Ahora el costo deportivo sería mayúsculo, porque una generación de jugadores diría adiós al futbol sin haber ido a un último mundial y la nueva generación, como los campeones olímpicos, no estaría en su primera Copa. En lo económico habría gran repercusión, de unos 600 millones de dólares, dijo a ESPN el analista Rogelio Roa, al englobar varios aspectos de comercialización, para las selecciones, clubes y asistencia de público a los estadios.
