Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

If one were to rank which of the branches of government has reasonable stewardship today, the choice made would be the EXECUTIVE BRANCH of our government. This means that President Obama, the first American having both African and European heritage, is doing well tending to the stewardship demands of the Office of the President of the United States. Stewardship involves an office having duties and obligations. It is the person who acts as the surrogate of another or others, especially by management of property, financial affairs, and the estate owned by another.

The U.S. Congress has not done its job of deliberating matters leading to legislation which defines national policy in many issues which impact this nation, its peoples, and the world. Special interests, funded by those with prodigious amounts of money, have stonewalled debates and legislative processes which are necessary to establish a domestic economy which provides for THE PEOPLE with essential services, resources and gainful employment having a living wage, not a minimum wage.

The gridlocks which stalls the established process of governance is eroding “the consent of those being governed’. Today the silent majority needs to become the ‘mouse that roared’ over their disappointment with elected officials who are not meeting the mimimum stewardship responsibilities of their elected positions. Except for one: The Chief Executive Officer

and Commander in Chief of this nation, who has used existing law and regulation to deal with financial disasters and matters of national security. President Obama is doing his job despite the subtle racism, greed, and self-interested acts of those who wished to limit his presidentilal service to one term (2008 to 2012).

In the recent use of poison gas in the Syrian civil war, President Obama drew a moral red line which was breached. Those whose ‘knee- jerk reaction’ is to use military force, were ready to use America’s military might again. Those who benefit from another deployment of the American militaryindustrical complex favored this action. Today America is not engaged in another war in the Mid-East because President Obama has a contemplative deliberative style of stewardship. He is willing to let Russia become engaged and involved in the collection and proper disposal of the Syrian poison gas arsenal. It is in Russia’s interest to not have this poison gas weapon fall into the hands of its own adversaries. It is proper to ‘trust, but verify’ (per President Reagan). Let’s give diplomacy its chance.

Note that we are not in another war which would ‘stimulate the American economy’ with the production of war materials which end up eventually becoming obsolete and useless. War efforts take up resources needed to sustain and support residents of this world. These same resources could be allocated to the needed repairs and upgrades of the national and global infrastructure.

The Supreme Court ruling that defined corporations as individuals with the right to influence public policy with their prodigious amounts of money also eviscerated the

OPINION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

Voting Rights Law. The use of large amounts of money needs to be directly addressed by the vote of THE PEOPLE. Today this nation has the best government that big money can influence! Yet the riches of this nation were not created by the wealthy.

America fortunately has rich reserves of resources in its forests, arable land, potable water, and natural depostis of minerals. None of these were created by those who have ownership of these elemental resources today.

These were formed and created by NATURE (or GOD), not man who devised the economic practice of ‘ownership’. Ownership of these basic resources needs to be transformed into ‘stewardship’, whose actions create ‘A greater good’ benefiting the many rather than the few. The manifest destiny of America is to be the best example in the world wherein people may govern themselves through democracy.

Here an individual can hope to achieve a better life by his/ her individual ‘pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness’. There is still the opportunity to establish a democracy with its economy permiting the largest number to securely live , having enough food, clothing, shelter, access to education and medical care, and opportunity for gainful employment.

An outcome of the many ‘faux’ congressional crisis distractions is that a very important matter is not being debated: ‘WHAT IS THE PROPER ROLE OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT?’ Conservative Repubican ideologues favor less government without addressing the inequities extant today such as maintaining ‘corporate welfare’ while reducing the resources needed for existing ‘human welfare’ needs. It’s lack of stewardship needs to be addressed very soon!

Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR La semana pasada fui a casa para celebrar el cumpleaños número 21 de mi hermana.

Todavía no puedo creerlo, pero luego a la vez, su hija casi cumple tres. Tengo dificultad para acostumbrarse a la idea de que ella está creciendo también. Tenía alergias intensas pero eso no nos detuvo a mi hermano y a mí, de conducir tres horas para East Fresno, donde pudimos ver a todos nuestros amigos y familiares.

Tuve la oportunidad de ponerme al día con lo que está pasando en el mundo porque mi mamá tiene CNN. Estuve pegada a la TV sobre todo porque no tenía mucha energía. Mostraron imágenes de lo que está pasando

en México lo que realmente afectó mis fibras más sensibles. Siempre está pasando algo por allá, pero me estoy refiriendo específicamente a los remanentes de los fenómenos meteorológicos Manuel e Ingrid. Los estados costeros que fueron afectados por ellos son un caos total. Es como Katrina, pero 100 veces peor. El país en cualquiera de las costas se enfrentó a lo que la madre naturaleza es capaz de hacer sin estar preparados.

La pareja de una de mis tías es de Guerrero, México, inmediatamente pensé en cómo su familia debe estar haciendo. Ellos parecen estar bien, pero eso no puede ser dicho por todos. Fue muy triste ver a la gente a mitad en el agua, destrucción de sus hogares, no hay manera de comunicarse. Realmente te hace pensar lo que podría estar pasando por la mente de estas personas. Lo han perdido todo y están tratando de sobrevivir con la poca comida que rescataron, algunos artículos están caducados. También se enfrentan a los elevados precios de los

alimentos en general, si no es bastante difícil tratar de lidiar con la pérdida de un hogar o para mal, un ser querido. Se informó que más de un millón de personas se han visto afectadas, asimismo las dos terceras partes del territorio nacional.

Es tan triste ver lo que mis compañeros de mexicanos están atravesando. Mi prima y yo estábamos hablando y se apresuró a decir que necesitan mucha, mucha ayuda.

Eso es completamente cierto, pero hay diferentes tipos de ayuda que pueden ser ofrecidos. Sólo puedo imaginar todo el trabajo duro que se necesita sobre todo para dar un sentido de esperanza. Se nos ha informado de que 139 personas han muerto, 35 están heridas, y 53 permanecen desaparecidas.

Cómo ayudar: Pueden donar visitando redcross.org/mexico, llamando al 1-800-678-7255 o puede donar 10 dólares enviando mensaje de texto AID al 50555. Y mandemos buenas vibras.

San Jose CLAIFORNIA WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose, Calif.) released the following statement on the decision by her House Republican colleagues to depart from the bipartisan House immigration working group commonly referred to as the ‘Group of Seven’:

“The dance of legislation is intricate and unpredictable.

For the last four-and-a-half years a bipartisan group of representatives met, at first in anonymity, and later openly, to attempt to craft a bipartisan immigration reform bill.

“We did succeed in crafting a bill, but at this point my Republican colleagues, Con-

gressmen Sam Johnson and John Carter, have decided to withdraw from this process.

While these two very conservative Congressmen do not agree with me on many issues, I am sure that they would agree that our efforts during these last several years were characterized by mutual respect and serious legislative work. Solid work was put into crafting immigration measures and these efforts, or portions of them, may yet help the process as efforts continue to achieve top to bottom reform of our country’s broken immigration system.

“The question isn’t whether we can pass immigration reform. The economic, security and moral arguments have

been made for reform. In poll after poll a growing majority of Americans want to see immigration reform, and the votes exist in the House for reform.

“In the end, it’s the Republican leadership that must make a decision on whether they intend to allow the current broken immigration system to continue as it is, or whether they will allow the House to vote on reform. I continue to be hopeful that Republican leaders will schedule votes on serious reform measures that aren’t host to known poison pills. It can be done. Let’s hope Congress can perform this basic task.”

The Santa Clara Valley Water District opened a grant application process to award up to $2.057 million in funds to implement projects that will improve the health of local watersheds.

Cities, the county, open space districts, non-profit organizations and schools are all encouraged to submit project proposals. Details on the priority themes and the application process are posted at www.valleywater.org/grants. aspx. Proposals are due on Nov. 22, 2013.

This is the first cycle of grant funding from the voterapproved Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program, approved by

SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2013

voters in 2012. This cycle will fund grants in three categories: pollution prevention, volunteer cleanup efforts and education, and restoration of wildlife habitat.

The priority themes for volunteer cleanup efforts and education category are education and outreach related to the three pollution prevention themes. The grants for restoring wildlife habitat will focus on four priority themes: to restore and protect riparian corridors, to protect or improve habitat of special status species, to restore tidal habitat, and to emphasize projects with ecosystem/watershed-scale benefits. During the 15-year life of the Safe, Clean Water Program, the district expects to distribute nearly $35 million in grants, partnerships and rebate programs. Every year, one grant

program or another will be available, including future grant cycles that will prioritize access to new trails.

Later this year, the district will solicit grant proposals to fund projects that will pilot test new water conservation programs. This grant program will help us meet the district’s goal to nearly double water conservation by 2030.

This round of grants follows several grant cycles over the past 13 years. The district’s grants and partnerships program, combined with other public and private funding, has helped fund 92 projects totaling more than $16.7 million since 2000. The program has opened more than 70 miles of trails and created or restored more than 569 acres of habitat.

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION Not so many ago many Americans spent their entire work-lives in the employment of just one company. It was recognized that working hard and meeting goals almost always meant pay raises, promotions and, most importantly, job security. But these days it’s difficult to feel secure in almost any job, regardless of how well you’ve performed.

Factors beyond your control

can affect the job you’re doing, or even whether that job will exist tomorrow.

Combine that type of work environment with factors such as feeling bored, unchallenged and unmotivated in your current position and you may be considering changing careers.

A mid-life career change can seem frightening and daunting at first, especially in these days of high unemployment rates. But it’s worth considering if your current position

has you feeling unhappy, dissatisfied and insecure.

Start by asking yourself questions that will help you better understand if this is the right time to consider something new: -Do you find yourself dreading going to work each day?

-Are Sunday afternoons depressing because Monday morning and work are approaching?

-Is it hard to get a sense of contentment or accomplishment from the work you do?

-Do you find it difficult to be interested in your job and field of work?

-Do you feel your abilities and experience are being underused?

-Are the values of the organization and your work often in conflict with your personal values?

Answering yes to three or more of those questions is a strong sign that you may be ready for a career change. To

Al bañarlo. No deje a su bebé solo dentro de la bañera y como medida de seguridad use un asiento especial al bañarlo. También desconecte los artefactos eléctricos que se encuentran cerca de la bañera.

Al empezar a gatear y caminar. Mantenga los productos de limpieza en un lugar seguro que su niño no pueda alcanzar o abrir. Cubra las esquinas de las mesas con un material suave para proteger a su bebé contra lesiones cuando comience a caminar y coloque puertas de seguridad en las escaleras para evitar caídas.

and developing a plan of action. A professional counselor can help you clarify your goals and narrow down possible careers. When that selfassessment is complete, then it’s time to begin chasing that new career.

A stronger approach is to meet with a professional counselor specializing in career and employment guidance. He or she can provide resources such as interest and personality tests that will help in narrowing your focus

Being unsatisfied in your work is always unpleasant and can lead to serious problems. But done correctly, a career change can bring a sense of control over your life and excitement about the opportunities that lie ahead.

(BPT) Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY

Working at home is a growing popular trend. The 2010 U.S. Census reports 9.5 percent of the population spends at least one day a week working at home - an increase of more than 2 percent since 1997.

When deciding to set up an office at home, one challenge many workers face is determining what computer to use - or purchase. Apple and Windows-based PCs are the two staples, and everyone has a preference on which system they prefer. Sometimes it’s the user interface of one over the other that’s preferred, and in other cases, how chosen programs perform on each platform determines what type of computer workers purchase. And often, workers just want to seamlessly blend in with the office environment, and purchase the same system for home.

With Parallels Desktop for Mac, the difficulty of choosing between the two platforms is obsolete. This software enables users to run all operating systems like Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS X, Google Chrome OS and more on a Mac without rebooting. This allows an at-home employee to easily switch between the system provided on work

Ansío el día en el que ya no tenga la necesidad de advertir a las personas mayores sobre los engaños que intentan robarles el dinero que tanto les costó ganar. Mientras tanto, no me quiero quedar de brazos cruzados.

computers and the home computer, even if they’re running different operating systems.

This allows at-home workers several benefits: * If you have a Mac and a PC, then Parallels Desktop software can simply move your entire PC onto you Mac so you have everything on one computer. If you don’t have a PC, its wizard lets you simply add Windows and other operating systems to your Mac so you can do everything on one computer. * Save money because there is no need to repurchase software you already own.

All of the PC applications you invested in can simply be moved to your Mac and run in Windows via Parallels Desktop.

* Run both Windows and Mac systems at the same time, allowing you to work in a Mac program while using a Windows platform. * Copy and paste between documents running in both operating systems easily which is not possible if you must reboot your Mac to change between OS X and Windows applications.

Seamless connection is key to working at home, because any interruption in getting technology to work is lost time, and potentially lost business. Apps, using the same computer programs you’ve always used through Parallels Desktop for Mac and mobile devices will help any at home worker to keep all connections with the office and clients going strong.

Según el FBI, las personas mayores son un “target” muy atractivo para los estafadores por varias razones: •Tienen más chances de tener dinero ahorrado, su propia casa y buen crédito.

•Es menos probable que denuncien el engaño porque no saben dónde hacerlo, no se dan cuenta de que han sido engañadas, o sienten vergüenza por haber sido engañadas –y probablemente tengan miedo de que los demás crean que ya no pueden continuar administrando sus finanzas.

•Cuando las víctimas de edad denuncian estos hechos, sus testimonios no son confiables por su mala memoria.

•Las personas mayores son más susceptibles a los productos que les prometen mucho dinero, funciones cognitivas, virilidad, buen estado físico, propiedades anticancerígenas, etc.

Este es un resumen de los engaños de telemarketing más comunes dirigidos a las personas mayores y de cómo evitarlos: Tenga cuidado, aun cuando los que llamen parezcan legítimos. Los que se hacen pasar por representantes de su banco, de la compañía de su tarjeta de crédito o de organismos gubernamentales, pueden sonsacarle información personal con el pretexto de solucionar algún proble-

ma de seguridad. Si tiene dudas, cuelgue y contáctese usted mismo con la organización.

Otros de los engaños de telemarketing más comunes son: •Supuestamente se ha ganado un premio pero le piden que pague el envío, el correo o los impuestos. Por ley, jamás hay que pagar nada por los premios legítimos.

•Ardides para hacerse rico de la noche a la mañana, como los que involucran a príncipes nigerianos que intentan sacar dinero de su país a través de su cuenta bancaria recompensándolo con una gran parte de ese dinero.

y las publicidades para tentar a sus potenciales víctimas a que se contacten con ellos para pedir más información.

Algunos consejos para reconocer estas estafas, más allá del medio que se utilice: •Lo que ofrecen es demasiado bueno para ser cierto.

•Tácticas de venta agresivas –no aceptan un “no” como respuesta, tienen una respuesta sensata para cada pregunta o duda.

•Tiene que tomar una decisión “ya mismo” porque la oferta finaliza pronto.

•Le dicen que usted es una de las pocas personas elegidas para acceder a esta oferta.

•El “Engaño del nieto”, en el que alguien que se hace pasar por su nieto lo llama aterrorizado diciendo que ha sido arrestado o herido (por lo general en el exterior) y le pide que le envíe dinero sin decirle nada a sus padres porque se sienten avergonzados.

•Le piden el número de su tarjeta de crédito para su verificación. Nunca dé el número de su tarjeta de crédito ni ninguna otra información personal por teléfono, carta o correo electrónico a menos que haya sido usted quien llamó.

•Pedidos de donaciones para falsas obras benéficas, especialmente después de algún desastre natural.

•Le piden que pague rápidamente sin darle tiempo a que considere la oferta.

•Empresas que ofrecen a las personas mayores equipos o servicios médicos gratuitos.

Una vez que usted les da su número de Medicare, falsifican la firma de un médico y facturan a Medicare por productos o servicios que usted nunca necesitó ni recibió.

•Algunos ladrones particularmente desvergonzados hasta se ofrecen a ayudarlo a recuperar el dinero que le han robado otros estafadores (que, por lo general, son parte de la misma operación).

Si bien lo más común es el contacto telefónico, los estafadores también usan el correo postal, el correo electrónico, los mensajes de texto

•Le dicen que no corre ningún riesgo. Todas las inversiones tienen un riesgo, salvo por las obligaciones del gobierno estadounidense.

•Se niegan a darle información detallada por escrito.

•Le piden que confíe en quien lo llama. Como siempre le ha dicho su madre, “no confíe en los extraños”.

La Comisión Federal de Comercio (www.ftc.gov) tiene un Blog sobre Alertas de Fraude que informa sobre las nuevas estafas que aparecen, y un sitio en el que se puede denunciar a las empresas que no cumplen con sus promesas o le roban dinero.

SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2013

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR On the evening of Tuesday September 24th, Congressman Mike Honda along with partnerships by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights and Facebook, allotted time to come to Independence High School in San Jose to bring to light the factors, precautions, and statistics of bullying, both in real life and online. Cyber bullying in this era has become a new form of human rights violation, which focuses on the attack on an individual via online means. The fact that the internet keeps caches and backups of almost anything, means comments, pictures, and general activity have a permanence which can be an everlasting form of pain or embarrassment for some.

The forum focused on digital literacy and bullying information, enlightening those in attendance, in one classroom many students from middle and high school, in the other the adults and parents of some of these students. Bullying can come in different forms and in any case any one person has the capability of becoming the bully, the bullied, or a bystander.

In these cases the facilitators, from Mike Honda to people involved with online safety and Anti-Bullying Project Seatbelt at the RFK Center, went over many factors and reasons why someone would be in either of the bully positions, and what one could do if they were to see or know of bullying going on.

Mike Honda called bullying a human rights violation, and essentially expressed the need for it to be attacked on many fronts, including by government and at home.

One of the goals, besides informing the teenagers and their parents, was to empower them with the knowledge to help potential victims, as well as the bullies, who sometimes have underlying issue(s) that lead to the outburst against others. The representative of the RFK Center highlighted that 28% of students in schools across America, were bullied in person. 9% of bullying occurred online. He stated that society needed to shift gears from calling bullying a part of growing up with adages like “kids will be kids”, or seeing it as a rite of childhood passage. The RFK Project Seatbelt was described as a metaphor for how automatically people tend to put on their seatbelts after they enter a car; the signs and effective actions towards bullying should also be a natural, automatic response going into the future.

Stephen Balkam, the CEO of Family Online Safety Institute, went over the permanence of the internet and how future collegiate research or employer research could uncover information, pictures or data that one would not want to be associated with. By asking the students about their online habits, which apps, websites and how they used them, Mr. Balkam was able to get the audience to interact and understand the impor-

tance of privacy, and restraints with what one puts online. He accentuated the idea of digital responsibility and protection of one’s reputation.

Nicky Jackson Colaco of Facebook described how users of popular social sites, apps like Facebook and Instagram, could be used safely and without worry of the wrong information being seen publicly. She went over the robust privacy features of Facebook which allows customizing who sees posts, photos, and user updates.

Another feature directly associated with bullying was the feature to block, and cut all associations and communications with someone who may be a stranger or acted in an inappropriate way over the site.

They could also be reported, to Facebook, or in more serious cases, to local law enforcement for review. The audience members chatted with the various guest speakers to ask more questions after the session was over, peaking their interest in a very real threat, off and online.

(NAPSM) Como muchas familias ya han descubierto, el período que precede al jardín de infantes es crítico para el desarrollo y el éxito de un niño, tanto en la escuela como en la vida.

De hecho, hasta un 90 por ciento del desarrollo cerebral ocurre antes de que los niños comienzan el jardín de infantes. Las aptitudes que los niños aprenden en la primera infancia les servirán en el futuro. Para ayudar a que los niños tengan éxito, es importante que las familias fomenten y ayuden a que sus hijos adquieran las aptitudes necesarias para asegurar que estén preparados para ir a la escuela.

Consejos de los expertos Para prepararse para esta nueva experiencia de aprendizaje, el profesor ShaunAdrian Choflá comparte sus ideas sobre cómo las familias pueden ayudar a que un niño pase del aprendizaje preesco-

lar al jardín de infantes, estableciendo una buena base para un futuro exitoso. Choflá enseña cursos de desarrollo para niños en la National Hispanic University donde los programas de bachillerato y maestría en educación de desarrollo infantil proporcionan a los educadores el conocimiento necesario para preparar a los niños para tener éxito en la escuela.

Por ejemplo, el profesor Choflá dice que las familias deben saber que el hogar es el primer lugar donde el niño desarrolla las aptitudes que lo guiarán durante toda su vida escolar.

Señales de preparación Para determinar si un niño está listo para ir a la escuela, Choflá aconseja que las familias vean si el niño demuestra lo siguiente: • Comunica verbalmente lo que necesita.

• Demuestra independencia.

• Se lleva bien con los demás.

• Demuestra aptitudes básicas.

• Demuestra autocontrol.

Lo que las familias pueden hacer Para alentar el aprendizaje y apoyar a que su hijo tenga éxito en la escuela, el profesor Choflá sugiere: • Crear una cultura de aprendizaje en el hogar. Lea todos los días a su niño y converse sobre lo que leyó.

• Desarrolle una relación amistosa con la maestra de su niño. Como especialista en la educación, la maestra puede recomendar otras maneras de apoyar las aptitudes académicas.

Bay native Damian Trujillo is an NBC Bay Area news reporter and producer of the weekly program Comunidad Del Valle, which has been the longest-running public affairs show in all of Northern California. Trujillo’s show serves as a voice for la Comunidad Latina featuring local events, organizations, students & individuals, business & community leaders, and artists throughout the Valley and beyond.

Trujillo grew up in Greenfield, a little over an hour and a half south of San Jose down Highway 101. While in high school, Trujillo worked in the agricultural fields of Salinas Valley with his family to help make ends meet. His story was recently featured in the award winning documentary film From the ‘Fields: An American Journey’.

Trujillo has been honored with awards from the Associated Press, the Radio and Television News Director’s Association (RTNDA), and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. Trujillo was named “2004 Reporter of the Year” by the Associated Press Television and Radio Association for California and Nevada and has been nominated for Emmy Awards five times.

As a former farm worker, Trujillo now honors his first job on the Cesar Chavez Holiday. Every March 31, Trujillo’s family hosts family, friends, and students, making sack lunches at the Trujillo home, and distributing them to roughly 250 farm workers in the South Bay. It’s his way of saying

“thank-you” to farm workers for their tireless work.

Trujillo and his wife, Monica, have a daughter, Malyna, and twins, Isela and Michael. In his spare time, Trujillo enjoys golf and volunteering with school children.

Francisco Franco is not only a successful and talented Chicano Artist but he is an inspiration to many around him, especially to the younger generation who want to follow their passion in the arts. Franco grew up in a rural neighborhood surround by drugs, gangs, violence and family instability but his drive to be successful took him in another direction. Franco graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts and a minor in Philosophy. He continued his education at the New York Art Academy, graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree. Culminating his education, Francisco earned a Fellowship to Oxford university in England.

While studying in New York, Francisco witnessed firsthand the attack on the Twin Towers. For the first time in his life, he recognized his own imminent mortality, and instantly became obsessed with the thought of death and the inevitable fact that we would all have to face it. “I became so obsessed with this fact that I literally walked around for a year wondering why no one was freakin’ out and discussing this horrible truth.” says Francisco.

“I was left with what I believe was post-traumatic stress.” Years went by with this hidden trauma that was having a number of negative effects and consequences, that were both affecting him physically and psychologically. It wasn’t until he turned to his ancestral roots and heritage that he started to heal from this. While do-

It was through the cathartic power of art and the idea of the Day of the Dead Celebrations, that he was able to finally come to terms with the concept of death by embracing and celebrating death as a part of life. Dressing up the symbol of death with the sweetness of life, using vivid color and humor, he began to find a more holistic and satisfying view of the world.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EARTHTALK Solar geo-engineering is a term describing any of various techniques for reducing the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth and its atmosphere. Researchers are exploring the feasibility of utilizing solar geoengineering to reflect some of the sun’s heat back into space before it can reach the Earth, and further contribute to the greenhouse effect that is causing our climate to warm. Some ways of doing this include pumping sulfur aerosols into the atmosphere, sending huge space mirrors or reflective balloons into Earth’s orbit, enhancing the reflectivity of clouds by spraying water into them, and even just painting everybody’s roofs white.

While solar geo-engineering can’t do anything about the carbon dioxide already in our atmosphere that will be causing more warming for decades to come or longer, it can help reduce the planet’s carbon load moving forward, and is thus generally viewed as part of the climate solution but not the whole enchilada.

That is, no matter what, it is still in our best interest to reduce our carbon footprint as

much as possible regardless of the whiz bang technologies scientists are developing to help.

The most practical of the solar geo-engineering techniques involves sending a specially modified fleet of jets around the globe, spraying sulfates into the atmosphere that would combine with pre-existing water vapor to form aerosols. When dispersed by the wind, these sulfates would cover the globe with a haze that could reflect an estimated one percent of solar radiation back out into space. The model for such a scenario occurred naturally in 1991 when the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines sent some 10 million metric tons of sulfur into the atmosphere, and caused a reduction in global temperatures by about one degree Fahrenheit for more than a year.

While employing such techniques might seem like a no-brainer, there are inherent risks. Alan Robock, an atmospheric scientist at Rutgers University, warns that adding sulfur to the skies, for instance, could shift rainfall patterns and hasten the thinning of the ozone layer.

“We are going to put the en-

tire fate of the only planet we know that can sustain life on this one technical intervention that may go wrong?” he asks. Another issue is the socalled “abrupt cessation” risk, whereby shutting off whatever solar geo-engineering techniques are in effect could cause a sudden rise in global temperatures to previously unforeseen levels.

Given reticence about applying quick technological fixes for our climate problem, proponents of solar geo-engineering are calling for the federal government and other concerned parties to fund more research. “The balance of evidence so far suggests that solar geo-engineering could reduce climate risks, but early science might be wrong,” he says. “We need experiments, which might show that it does not work.”

But perhaps the biggest hurdle to implementation of solar geo-engineering is getting the nations of the world to agree on the need for it.

“With solar geoengineering, at some level you’ve got just one knob,” says Harvard energy and climate researcher David Keith, a big proponent of solar geo-engineering.

“That demands collective global decision-making.”

SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2013

Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of the charismatic Hunt and the methodically brilliant Lauda, two of the greatest rivals the world of sports has ever witnessed.

Taking us into their personal lives and clashes on and off the Grand Prix racetrack, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error.

“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2” picks up where “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood’s genius is finally being recognized as he’s invited by his idol Chester V (Will Forte) to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. Chester’s righthand-gal – and one of his greatest inventions – is Barb (Kristen Schaal), a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain, which is also devious, manipulative and likes to wear lipstick. It’s always been Flint’s dream to be recognized as a great inventor, but everything changes when he discovers that his most infamous machine – which turns water into food – is still operating and is now creating mutant food beasts.

With the fate of humanity in his hands, Flint and his friends must embark on a dangerously delicious mission, battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world… again!

El Centenario Posada 2013 celebrates José Guadalupe Posada’s work and influence San Jose CALIFORNIA El Centenario Posada 2013 is now open 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 Posa-

da’s legacy using specially selected works from the New World Prints Collection, the largest private collection of 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.

Now through Dec. 29, 2013

Of all the postcards of all the countries, Mexican postcards are unique. Mexico in the early 1900s was practically unknown territory, rich in a diversity of people, customs and ethnic dresses and a place of conflicts and wars, generals and traitors, beautiful women and dangerous men, stunning landscapes, volcanoes, rivers, baroque architecture and thousand year old pyramids. All of it engaging to the eye and the camera.

A Little Piece of Mexico: Postcards of Guillermo Kahlo and His Contemporaries explores Mexico from the turn of the last century through its postcards. The exhibit features the work of international photographers Willhelm Kahlo – a German photographer who nationalized his name to Guillermo (and the father of Frida); Abel Briquet (France), F. Leon (Oaxaca); Caecilie Seler (Germany), CB Waite (US), and Felix Miret (Mexico).

This exhibition, on view in the San Francisco Main Library’s Jewett Gallery, 100

Larkin St., now through Dec. 29, is drawn from the private collection of postcards owned

by San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguía.

These post cards were sold in all sorts of venues, bookstores, cafes, restaurants, tourist sites and bus stops.

Looking at these images it is easy to reassemble a picture of Mexico prior to the 1910 revolution. The exhibition will remember the work of these important photographers. It will show Mexico City and its environs as it was more than 100 years ago and show a photographic history

Born in Aguascalientes, Mexico on February 2, 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.

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.

of the country through images of its architecture, landscape and people. More than 200 postcards will be on view in this exhibit, in addition to expanded reproductions of many of the postcards in an effort to show their striking images and details.

The exhibit is sponsored by the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library, the Consulate General of Mexico in San Francisco, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs of San Francisco State University, and the City Lights Foundation.

Since there is no cure for breast cancer, much more needs to be done in the fight against this life-threatening disease.

Geometría del estilo: Destacando los hombros hace que la cintura se vea más delgada. (Se trata de esas ilusiones ópticas.)

Triangular: El uso de una parte superior y los pantalones que van más estrecha en el tobillo más corta puede hacer que las caderas se ven más amplio. Piense en las caderas como la línea superior de un triángulo que se coloca en su punto (los pies). Para hacer que las caderas luzcan más delgadas, las mujeres pueden equilibrar el triángulo con más volumen en el tobillo.

Las madres tienen razón: la mayoría de la gente puede recordar sus madres abogar por una buena postura. Hay una razón. Cuando alguien se pone de pie, se ve más alto, más delgado y más joven.

BCRF is dedicated to breast cancer research that will ultimately help lead to prevention and a cure. Currently, 91 cents of every dollar spent

by BCRF is directed towards breast cancer research and awareness programs, such as one of the grants that Nestlé Pure Life is helping to fund, aimed at findings drugs to prevent breast cancer in those with the BRCA-mutation. To join Nestlé Pure Life in supporting BCRF and make a direct donation supporting research efforts, visit www.bcrfcure.org.

Another easy -- and fun -- way to show your support and raise funds year round is by participating in walks and runs. Gather a group of friends and family and find a local walk or race that raises funds for an organization

tied to research or finding a cure. It’s a meaningful way to get directly involved.

Healthy Lifestyle BCRF-funded research has indicated that there is a positive relationship between exercise, a healthy lifestyle, and breast cancer risk.

Among other things, it is important to maintain a healthy body weight through exercise and a well-balanced diet. One weight maintenance trick is to stay hydrated and eat plenty of fiber-rich foods like almonds, beans and apples, which make you feel full and can help you avoid overeating.

This Breast Cancer Awareness month, there are many great ways to support causes that fight this all-too-common, life-threatening disease.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Rating: 3.5/5 From their self-titled debut album in 1996, the English band, Placebo, has risen to fame and recognition as a staple of alternative music of the 1990’s, with more than 12 million records sold. The moody and dark themes in their sound are counteracted by the grandiose and stadium anthem lyrics which cover the spectrum of emotion. In their seventh album, the band touches their music with electronic backing and the general theme of love.

This theme somewhat departs from the general mood of past albums, but luckily contains the same vocal intensity, and musical energy of their politically, and socially, charged angst that began 12 years ago in the United Kingdom.

‘Loud Like Love’ begins with the rhythmic entrance music of its title track, also called “Loud Like Love”. It

immediately strikes as a Placebo song because of this melodic, guitarist-driven rhythm. When lead singer Brian Molko begins to croon onto the steady beat of the track, it feels like a type of warp into the late nineties. While this time jump is no negative, like the rest of Placebo’s discography the themes of strength and overcoming social, mental, internal pressures is evident from the start, with the anthemtype lyrics that encapsulate the alternative rockers eternal dilemma: do they simply show us about how to love?

Or do they show us how to break free from the negatives in our life? It seems that both these questions are served and dissected throughout the album, although the love question is met with greater coverage.

From moodier fare like “Too Many Friends”, which permeates with the loneliness of being an individual in a society that relies on technology to stay “connected”, the

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

album is filled with political and social commentary.

Lyrics like, “my computer thinks I’m gay, what’s the difference anyway, when all the people do all day, is stare into a phone” emphasize the singers, (and possibly the entire band), slight with the state of society. Where we can hide behind Facebook walls and avoid voice call interactions with the click of a button, our friends at Placebo try to probe into our hearts and logic with their approach.

“Hold on To Me” is more of a hazy ‘post punk’ ballad with its synth-driven production. It is less driven with commentary and more of a classic song about love of any type. Placebo’s strengths come in two forms as a band: The appropriately angstadorned ballads which pull definitive emotions onto the table, or the powerfully energetic songs dealing with human love and finding truth.

The truth of the matter is that these two themes echo through their discography,

Carlos Vives e Illya Kuryaki & The Valderramas son los máximos nominados a los premios Grammy Latino, con cinco menciones cada uno.

A diferencia de otros años, esta vez no hubo un cantante o compositor que arrasara de forma contundente las postulaciones, como ha ocurrido en otras temporadas.

Las nominaciones del colombiano Vives representan una sólida reaparición, ya que se ausentó por casi una década de la música y en los inicios de la entrega del Grammy Latino había sido un sólido aspirante a la presea.

and their continued relevance is that these themes are classic in human entertainment, and within the human psyche it seems. The Smiths did it, Chuck Berry did it, and even Justin Beiber does it.

In the end Placebo’s ‘Loud Like Love’ is definitely trying to adhere to their classic melodic sound while reaching out and trying to tell people to look up at the Astros, and turn off the glare of their devices once in a while.

This album is definitely more “love loud” then “loud, mad, and proud”. The mystical themes and practical expression of human love is a nice way to return to these boys from London. Although not their strongest effort, the fans of the dark brooding Placebo might like the change of pace.

Check out: “Loud Like Love”, “Hold on to Me”, “Too Many Friends”.

Placebo’s ‘Loud Like Love’ is now available on iTunes and stores nationwide.

(NewsUSA) It’s staggering to think that each year an estimated 5-7 million companion animals find their way into the care of animal shelters across the United States.

Despite the best efforts of thousands of shelter workers, keeping up with the care of abandoned animals is a daunting task for even the most wellfunded rescue organizations.

While you may not be able to donate tons of money or time, supporting animal shelters with small contributions can make a huge difference.

Here are some simple ways you can help.

1. Lend Your Expertise Shelters often have limited funds to hire individuals capable of setting up websites, writing articles for newsletters, taking pictures of available pets, landscaping the grounds or providing legal advice. Consider your skill set and how you could be a valuable resource for your local shelter.

2. Get Social Shelter animals come from diverse backgrounds, and socializing them can be key in making them more attractive candidates for adoption. Animal rescue organizations often need volunteers willing to dedicate a little time to playing with a cat or teaching a dog to sit.

3. Foster a Pet Since overcrowding in animal shelters is a constant challenge, many rescue organizations look for foster homes that may help socialize and prepare certain pets for adoption. Contact your local shelter and see if you qualify.

4. Turn Your Trash into Treasure Animal shelters go through lots of food bowls and towels each year. While your old blankets and dinnerware might seem ready for a trip to the dump, they could be put to good use. Think before you toss them, because your trash could be treasure to a pet in need.

5. Click Away Want to help shelters acquire the essentials without dipping into your wallet?

Major pet brands are harnessing the power of the Internet to help pet lovers support animal shelters without spending a dime. A recent GiveLitter campaign saw more than 60,000 voters visiting www.givelitter.com to donate 100,000 pounds of World’s Best Cat Litter to shelters across the country.

Shelters everywhere are looking for help, so see which simple act can make you feel good while doing good! Keep these handy tips in mind as Pet Adoption Month draws near.

Rocky Rivas ESPECIAL PARA EL OBSERVADOR La despedida al coloso de San Francisco llegará cuando esta temporada de fútbol termine. Y ahí se irán muchísimas historias, anécdotas, risas, lágrimas y hasta sustos como el de la serie mundial del 1989. En La que se competía por el título con los Atléticos de Oakland y minutos antes que el tercer partido por serie mundial diera inicio, tuvo que suspenderse debido al gran terremoto que sufrimos en el Bay Area.

Al igual el Candlestick Park, se llevará el gran orgullo de haber sido el lugar que albergara el último concierto de la banda más grande del mundo “THE BEATLES” el 29 de marzo de 1966, convirtiéndose así en la última actuación

México (NOTIMEX) Por octavo año consecutivo la Federación Mexicana de Futbol (Femexfut) y sus diversos patrocinadores impulsarán durante octubre próximo la campaña de prevención contra el cáncer de mama, en la que mediante un balón rosa y uniformes para los árbitros también en ese color, se pretende dejar el mensaje.

Los 33 equipos de Liga MX y Liga de Ascenso jugarán las próximas jornadas con el balón “Alpha Pink”, que también estará a la venta al público en tiendas deportivas, centros comerciales y de autoservicio, y la mitad de las ganancias se destinará a la lucha contra la enfermedad que afecta al año a miles de mujeres en el país. Es un esfuerzo en el que vale la pena

en los escenarios internacionales. Además de la visita de Juan Pablo segundo y un montón de grandes jugadas y eventos de primer nivel.

Sin importar las distancias miles de hispanos llegaron horas antes de que el juego diera inicio para ser parte de la grandiosa ceremonia de “Tailgate” en donde el olor de la carne asada y la música de nuestros países se escucharon alrededor del estadio. Fue gracioso ver como los anglosajones pasaban por los lugares en donde nuestra gente se reúne, dejándose ver en grupos de entre 10 y 50 personas, y en donde los chips y frijoles refritos, el queso fresco, pico de gallo y guacamole fue el manjar de los asistentes y sin faltar las chelas bien frías o en su defecto las margaritas heladas hicieron ver más bellas y sexis a las que también aman

que todos trabajemos juntos, que se nos permita hacer ruido, que tengamos una presencia continua durante el mes de octubre en los medios para lograr que muchas familias mexicanas prevengan este mal, ya que cuando llega es un tema que pega fuerte dentro de la familia”, dijo Décio de María.

El secretario general de la Femexfut aclaró que paralelo a esta campaña, en la que rodará el balón rosa por los terrenos de juegos de las dos divisiones más importante del balompié nacional, habrá pláticas con los jugadores para que se unan usando agujetas rosas, además que los propios equipos realizarán eventos en sus estadios.

“De momento no sabemos si algún equipo cambiará su informe a rosa, pero sí puedo decir que años anteriores se han sumado llevando, en

y se apasionan con este juego; y no podían faltar los chamacos que jugaban alrededor del estacionamiento y con el sueño de algún día ser como los que ese domingo saltarían a la cancha a defender sus colores.

En esta ocasión tuvimos la fortuna de conocer a Francisco. Un fiel seguidor de los

coordinación con los organismo de salud locales, algún apoyo para realizar estudios preventivos afuera de los estadios cuando hay partido, y creemos que esta vez se volverán a sumar los equipos”, apuntó.

Por su parte, María Isabel Morán, presidenta de la “Fundación para Nosotras las Mujeres en México”, expuso cifras que advierten la existencia de 13 mil 600 nuevos casos cada año, y la mayoría se detecta de manera tardía, cuando ya existe un tumor, por lo que muere una mujer cada dos horas en promedio.

De esta manera, urgió a que se sigan apoyando esfuerzos para poder bajar la tasa de mortandad y fortalecer la fase de prevención, pues recalcó que México en ese tema no ha podido mejorar ya que han sido varios los años que la cifra se ha mantenido.

49ers y quién nos platicó que ya lleva más de 10 años reuniéndose con sus amigos y familiares, a los cuales nunca se les ha pedido nada, Pamel y yo además de otra persona que no pudo estar hoy aquí el tío Ben, nos encargamos de traer y cocinar la comida.

Y cuando le preguntamos ¿Qué sentía hacer esto? Él sin

dudarlo y sonriendo nos dijo.

Esto para mí es la alegría.

Disfruto cocinar para todos y hoy tenemos ¡DJ! Lo cual no es muy común. Ya que nosotros tenemos nuestro sistema propio pero hoy él nos pidió permiso para ser el de la música, pero lamento decirle que él ya no lo será para el próximo juego. Y entre carcajadas y risas por la broma al Dj, él continúa platicándonos del uncle Ben. Uno de los organizadores y de origen Armenio, el cual no pudo estar este día ya que tenía el compromiso de llevar a su nieta a UCLA. Y finalizó diciéndonos. Acá no hay rasas. Acá hay latinos, filipinos y de todo tipo de Razas, acá es una fiesta deportiva en la que nos hermanamos, disfrutamos de diferentes platillos, platicamos y nos echamos unos tragos para olvidarnos de nuestras rutinas diarias.

19

Y así transcurrió nuestra fiesta del tailgate hasta que el sonido de la trompeta nos dio el llamado para pasar a disfrutar del juego y poder recorrer el famoso inmueble el cual tendrá oficialmente su último juego el 23 de diciembre en el clásico Monday night football además que por ahí se escuchan los rumores que el último evento será un concierto con Paul McCartney.

El espíritu que reina en las fiestas de tailgating es de total inclusión y fraternidad, aun si no eres un fan de los deportes.

Los aficionados están siempre contentos de ampliar el grupo y de mostrarte todas las costumbres. No seas tímido: ¡Súmate! Averigua la información sobre la fiesta y lo que debes llevar. ¡Puedes hacer buenos amigos!
