Catch-22 book diverts gang youths by offering “reducing the harm” techniques A book written by bay area native Enrique S. Flores focuses on the different approaches to guide people involved with gangs out of them, or at least divert from the extreme and violent. Catch-22: The Rise, Crash, & Rebirth of an East Side Hero is a 35 page book which deals with the authors personal experiences in gang culture and methods to deal with life’s issues and peer pressure which often propel youths into gangs. Jerry Brown propone “sí” a la Proposición 30: El gobernador Jerry Brown quiere que los californianos sepan que la proposición 30 que generaría dinero que afectaría directamente las escuelas. Esta propuesta se encuentra actualmente en peligro de financiadores desconocidos que están tratando de hacer quedar mal a la proposición 30. Votar “no” a la Proposición 30 causaría que recortaría los horarios de clase, despedir a los maestros y aumentar la matrícula en los colegios.

Record breaking 18 million registered voters in California: Amid new methods of registration Of the record 18 million registered Californians, more than one million registered by way of Internet or mobile device. The surge of new applicants, which consists of mostly first time youths and re-registries, has been due to the new registration law that was put in place by Senator Leland Yee of San Francisco. This new law eased the accessibility of registration by making it simple and quick to register online.

Hurricane Sandy hinders blood and platelet donations
Red Cross urges blood donations in unaffected areas Oakland CALIFORNIA
Hurricane Sandy has forced the cancellation of approximately 100 American Red Cross blood drives in 11 states along the East Coast, resulting in a shortfall of more than 3,200 blood and platelet donations already. All eligible donors in unaffected parts of the country are encouraged to roll up a sleeve and give blood or platelets. “Just as Red Cross volunteers have mobilized to provide disaster relief and other emergency assistan-
ce, we are mobilizing blood and platelets donations to ensure patients have access to the potentially lifesaving blood products they need,” said Jeff Meyer, CEO of the Red Cross Northern California Blood Services Region.
“When you donate blood or platelets through the Red Cross, you can help patients in your local community and patients across the country, including those in Hurricane Sandy’s path.” The Red Cross partners with more than 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country, providing blood products donated by giving individuals, and specialized laboratory services. While Hurricane Sandy affects the number of people available to donate, patients

will still need blood and platelets despite the weather. All blood types are needed to ensure an adequate blood supply is available during a disaster, especially type O positive, O negative, A negative or B negative blood. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

THE NATION’S STATE AFTER THE 20012 ELECTION
Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR
California State Senator Joe Simitian (D-11th District) moderated a panel discussion at the Lucie Stern Community Center, Palo Alto, CA. on Saturday, October 27, 2012. A panel which consisted of Cindy Chavez Director, South Bay Labor Council; Dan Schnur. Former Chair, Fair Political Practices Commission Political strategists & Director, Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at USC; and Mark Simon, who substituted for State Senator Dan Perata (retired), former President Pro Tem, California State Assembly. Perata was ill. Senator Simitian’s original program’s thrust was to describe the state of our state after the 2012 election. However, all consequences resulting from the national election of the next President were projected to be national as well as local. “In fact, our nation is currently hurtling towards a fiscal cliff which occurs in late January 2013 if the U.S. Congress does not immediately get its act together. How are decisions going to be made in Congress after a very acrimonious divisive election? How will congress make decisions required?” Cindy Chavez responded: “The first requirement is for members of Congress to set aside Republican and Democratic ideological differences so as to enable the necessary and required ability to communicate in good faith, negotiate, and compromise. As we all know, President Barack H. Obama is our first AfricanAmerican President. Major issues are about inequities resulting from race, gen-
der, and incomes earned. Will our nation see more of the same? We are in the midst of major public policy changes needed to ‘fix it’ or do something regardless of each congressional member’s current ideological position.” Dan Schnur projected that the Democrats would continue to have control of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives dominated by Republicans. It does not matter who becomes the president because there is only so much a president may do with executive powers using existing laws and regulations. The reality is that the ability to enact meaningful legislation is very much broken until they reconcile their philosophical differences: Big government or no government. A “Bain” vx. “Solyndra” approach to manufacturing is but one example. Today, very few demographic regions, i.e., the battle ground states, determine the outcome of this presidential election. A surprise to many is that the cohort of ‘married women’ will decide this election because married women are the ones responsible for spending the family budget, taking the kids to school, and in addition having a job to augment her husband’s earnings, if any.” Several major public policies could be at risk if a Republican president is elected. One is that the Supreme Court’s “Roe vs. Wade” decision (abortions-1973) could be reversed. Another major public policy issue is health care. The Obama Administration successfully assembled the Affordable Care Act which addresses major economic concern in most families. The cost of health care is finally being mitigated. Cindy Chavez asserted that more single women may now register to vote.
This would favor President Obama. This is the largest cohort in the past not registered to vote. Planned Parents would continue to provide affordable family planning services of all kinds. ObamaCare would pay for mammograms and contraception supplies. In addition, increased minimum wages for all would be more likely. For example, San Jose’s Measure B would establish a $10 per hour minimum wage. Mark Steinman made the observation that “Republicans tend to be very disciplined while Democrats tended to seem disorganized. Who would you favor? Both have not closed their ranks. If the House changes membership, neither John Behner nor Nancy Pelosi would be Speaker of the House. Additional concerns expressed by the panel were: a) prohibiting the political use of union due and b) pension reform. Cindy Chavez asserted that “the major issue is leadership and a change in rules is just not enough.” San Jose’s Council member Pete Constant ably represents conservative values. Measure B ($10 minimum wage) is favored by people who love and believe in government’s role to address inequities. In Sacramento, is there a conciliatory move which permits addressing pension reform? Reform is accomplished by strong able leadership.” Other panel members addressed California’s broken education system. One has to make the case that one has done all that is possible before asking for more money (i.e., higher taxes). A Q & A period followed: Concerns raised were about future appointments to the Supreme Court and political campaign funding reform.

Un deber y un privilegio Luisa Fernanda Montero LA RED HISPANA En pocos días tendremos de nuevo la oportunidad de hacer historia. Este seis de noviembre tendrán lugar las elecciones que determinarán quien será el próximo presidente de Estados Unidos. Un asunto que nos concierne a todos y en el que debemos participar de una u otra forma. El voto al que tenemos derecho, no es sólo un deber del ciudadano, si no un privilegio. Gracias al voto podemos expresar nuestras preferencias políticas y elegir aquellas opciones que más nos satisfacen. No pierda la oportunidad de ejercer sus derechos.¿Ya sabe cuál será su itinerario el día de las elecciones? El seis de noviembre es un martes, un día laboral. Por lo tanto es pertinente que se organice par asegurar la disponibilidad de tiempo que necesita para llegar a las urnas.
¿Con quien va a ir? ¿Se ha comunicado con sus parientes o vecinos? Es posible que alguno de ellos necesite una mano para poder llegar a las urnas sin problemas. Incluso aquellos que no pueden aun ejercer sus derechos como ciudadanos, pueden ser determinantes en estas elecciones ayudando a parientes, amigos o vecinos que lo necesiten. Ya sea acompañándolos o llevándolos al lugar si hay problemas de movilidad o ofreciéndose a cuidar niños o parientes enfermos. El proceso democrático en el que tenemos el privilegio de vivir tiene su máxima expresión en el voto, pero hay muchas formas en las que podemos ser participes y fomentar el buen desarrollo de nuestras comunidades.
Podemos, por ejemplo asegurarnos de que las personas que viven en áreas distantes puedan llegar a las urnas. Garantizar que la información necesaria llegue a todos los interesados, sobre todo a aquellos que nunca han votado o no están familiarizados con el área. Es muy probable que a estas alturas ya tenga usted claridad sobre su voto. Pero nunca sobra una revisión final y a conciencia antes de ir al recinto de votación. En esta ocasión tenemos la oportunidad de superar nuestro propio record de presencia en las urnas. En el 2008 más de cuatro millones doscientos mil latinos ejercieron su derecho al voto, la cifra aunque inédita, es escasa si pensamos que son más de 23 millones los latinos habilitados para votar.
Es su turno de votar. Es su momento para expresarse, para decidir si Barack Obama continua dirigiendo nuestros destinos o el republicano Mitt Romney toma su lugar. Es mucho lo que está en juego. En un país que apenas empieza a salir de la crisis económica que lo ha azolado por años ¿qué ofrecen los candidatos? ¿Qué tienen que decir cuando de inmigración se trata? ¿Cuál es el futuro que plantean para los dreamers o soñadores que merecen una oportunidad? ¿Cuál es su propuesta si hablamos de cobertura universal de salud? Una vez más, infórmese y visite su conciencia para decidir, pero no deje de ejercer su derecho a hacer parte de la historia. No permita que otros elijan por usted. Recuerde que votar es un deber, pero también un privilegio, disfrútelo.

The 2012 Latin Grammy Street Party Celebrates 10th Anniversary in San Jose

El poderoso trió femenino: Trio Ellas Nominadas al GRAMMY Latino 2012 en la categoría de ‘Mejor Álbum Ranchero’ Vesper PR LOS ANGELES El poderoso trió femenino Trió Ellas ha causado furor con un ritmo único que combina mariachi tradicional y el sonido clásico romántico con un giro contemporáneo, y el mundo se ha dado cuenta, ya que el trió ha sido nominado al GRAMMY Latino este año. El Trió Ellas se presentó en el Latin GRAMMY Street Party en San José el 28 de Octubre, y asistirá la ceremonia del Latin GRAMMY en Las Vegas el 15 de Noviembre. El juvenil trió está compuesto por Suemy González (violín y vocales), quien se encuentra actualmente estudiando en el prestigioso Thornton School of Music de la Universidad del Sur de California, Nelly Cortez (guitarrón y vocales),
mariachi de cuarta generación y piloto recreativo, y Stephanie Amaro (guitarra y vocales), músico versátil quien toca y graba en varios géneros desde el rock hasta el mariachi. Su alto nivel de proficiencia les ha permitido a las muchachas esquivar los estereotipos y trabajar con los mejores artistas a nivel mundial, incluyendo grabaciones con Benjamin Gibbard y Lady GaGa, y presentaciones con varios de los mejores artistas latinos como Cristian Castro y Mariachi El Bronx.
Es por esto que ahora su álbum debut, “Con Ustedes...Trió Ellas”, (a la venta desde mayo del 2012) ha sido nominado al GRAMMY Latino en la categoría ‘Mejor Álbum Ranchero’, lo cual eleva al trió a un nivel de excelencia aún más alto, en el que compiten con Pepe Aguilar y Pedro Fernández entre otros por el premio mayor a la música Latina. Este año el Trió Ellas completó una gira en Okinawa y se presentó en las
convenciones anuales de LULAC en Orlando, FL. y San Antonio, TX. El grupo también disfrutó presentándose en el programa para niños “Summer Sounds” del Hollywood Bowl, y encendió el escenario en la Convención Nacional Democrática de Latinos Unidos en North Carolina. En diciembre las muchachas acompañarán a Benjamin Gibbard al show de Conan O’Brien para presentar la canción que grabaron juntos.

Lo que hay que tener en cuenta al donar a la carida (STATEPOINT) Aun cuando los tiempos son difíciles, muchos estadounidenses presupuesto una parte de sus bienes para ir a la caridad. Según Giving USA, un instituto de investigación que publica datos y tendencias sobre las donaciones caritativas, los estadounidenses contribuyeron con más de $ 298420 millones a obras de caridad en 2011. Mientras que su corazón puede guiarte a una organización benéfica particular, no sólo entrega su dinero duramente ganado sin obtener alguna información. Aunque todas las obras de caridad pretenden estar haciendo un buen trabajo, algunas organizaciones tienen menos de un historial estelar. Como no podía examinar una inversión financiera, por lo que debe
examinar una organización benéfica para asegurarse de que su dinero hace que el mayor impacto posible.

Así que la próxima vez que usted hace una donación, primero considere el acceso a un informe libre de la caridad de su elección en www.give.org. Y si tu amor no está en la lista, puede solicitar una revisión. Un sector, en particular, que siempre necesita de la
ayuda caritativa es la educación. Invertir en educación es invertir en el futuro de las comunidades locales, nacionales y globales. Éstos son algunos buenos ejemplos de organizaciones educativas que cumplan las normas de BBB y podría usar su ayuda.

La Proposición 30 cuenta con estrictas medidas de responsabilidad y auditorias públicas cada año, para garantizar que los fondos vayan directamente a sus escuelas locales. La Proposición 30 pide a los Californianos más ricos que paguen un poco más, de modo que la clase media no tenga que sufrir el costo. Las familias que ganan menos de $500,000 al año no pagaran impuestos adicionales sobre sus ingresos.

All you need to know about diabetes Norma L. Molina, Registered Dietitian/ Nutritionist AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION You have probably heard about the epidemic of Diabetes Type 2 (Diabetes T2) affecting adults, and now children. But you probably haven’t heard everything. It’s important that you know all you can about diabetes, because you may have it and not know it. Based on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death. In 2011, there were nearly 26 million people of all ages with diabetes; 79 million adults ages 20 years and older had pre-diabetes; and 7 million were undiagnosed. From 2005-2009, 36% of Mexican-American adults had pre-diabetes and 12% of all Latinos had diagnosed diabetes. Closer to home, in the Santa Clara County, 2009, 11% of Latinos were diag-
nosed with diabetes (1 out of 10). The diabetes statistics are alarming, and continue to increase rapidly, especially among Latino adults and children! Diabetes T2 is when the pancreas gradually produces less insulin and the insulin produced isn’t as effective in decreasing blood glucose (sugar) levels as before. In pre-diabetes, blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes, and those with pre-diabetes have a greater risk of developing diabetes. Only a fasting blood sugar test and/or an A1C test can check your blood glucose level to diagnose diabetes. Diabetes T2 can often go undiagnosed because the symptoms may seem harmless. You may have 2 or more symptoms of diabetes that should alert you to be tested as soon as possible. The symptoms include: 1) excessive thirst, 2) frequent urination, 3) extreme
hunger, 4) unusual weight loss without trying, 5) extremely tired and irritable, 6) frequent infections skin, gums, vaginal, or bladder], 7) blurred vision, 8) wounds that slowly heal, 9) tingling/ numbness in the hands and feet. Be aware that sometimes there may not be any symptoms, but if you are over the age of 45 years or older, are overweight/obese, not physically active, have a strong family history of diabetes, are of a certain ethnic group (Latino, Asian, Black, or Native American), have high cholesterol and/ or high blood pressure, had diabetes during pregnancy, or have unusual darkness of your skin around your neck, underarms, inner thighs, waist, and/or knuckles of your hands, it is important that you have a blood glucose test. The more you know about the complications of diabetes, the more likely you will be motivated to prevent diabetes. The complications
Conozca a los chefs que alimentan a los comedores más delicados de California: ¡sus hijos! Con más de veinte años de experiencia en el servicio de alimentación en el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Bakersfield, Michelle Dominges ha dedicado su carrera a servir a estudiantes.
Michelle Dominges
Michelle está a la vanguardia de una revolución ocurriendo en las comidas escolares de los distritos escolares de California y del país. Una nueva Ley llamada Niños Sanos y Libres de Hambre entró en vigor el 1 de julio que obliga a las escuelas a cumplir con estándares más altos de nutrición. Atrás han quedado las comidas precocinadas, grasosas, donde los estudiantes no siempre podían nombrar los alimentos que estaban comiendo. Ahora se ven los bares de ensaladas y de fruta, pollo con limón y hierbas, panes integrales - alimentos que ayudan a los estudiantes vivir vidas más saludables y aplicarse mejor en la escuela. Aquí esta como Michelle esta ofreciéndoles a los estudiantes alimentos sabrosos que siguen las nuevas directrices: "La más nueva receta que hemos encontrado que les gusta mucho a los estudiantes es nuestro pedazos de jícama con pimientos rojos y una rodaja de limón, esto ha sido muy bien recibido con los estudiantes. Otra es nuestra ensalada del chef con pollo a la parrilla". Michelle agrega, "Muchas veces las únicas comidas que los niños comen en todo el día son las comidas que tienen en la escuela - el desayuno y el almuerzo. Me emociona saber que soy parte de mantenerlos saludable". Estas comidas están disponibles a precios muy bajos para todos los estudiantes, y de forma gratuita, o menos de 1 dólar por comida para los estudiantes que califican. Aproximadamente 1 millón de estudiantes de California son elegibles para el almuerzo gratis o a precio reducido pero no participan en el programa. Los padres le están diciendo a Michelle que han notado que sus hijos quieren alimentos más saludables en el hogar, mientras que los maestros reportan que las tasas de asistencia de los estudiantes han aumentado y que ellos están más concentrados en el aula.

The following are some of the complications that diabetics over time may develop: 1) Heart Disease – diabetics have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes, 2) Eye Complications – diabetics have a higher risk of blindness and other vision problems, 3) Kidney Disease – diabetes can cause kidney damage that may lead to kidney failure, 4) Nerve Damage (neuropathy) – high sugar levels can damage the nerves that run through the body, 5) Foot Problems – diabetics can have nerve damage, infections of the feet, and blood flow problems to the feet that may lead to amputations, 6) Skin Complications – they develop skin problems, such as infections, sores, and itching. Skin problems are sometimes a first sign that someone has diabetes, 7) Dental Disease –diabetics have problems with their
teeth and gums. Early detection of diabetes symptoms and treatment can decrease the chance of developing the complications of diabetes, because constant high blood sugar levels for 5 years or more increases the rate of damage to the body. What is frightening is that so many people with undiagnosed diabetes for 5 years or more already have complications on the day of their diagnosis! The development of diabetes can be prevented through healthy lifestyle

Internado pagado de verano de 10 semanas para Latinas Illinois HOFFMAN ESTATES Kmart ha anunciado el lanzamiento del primer programa de internado Latina Smart. Cinco internas Latina Smart con inclinación por las ventas minoristas serán seleccionadas para participar en un internado pagado de verano de 10 semanas en la sede corporativa de Sears Holdings en Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Las internas recibirán experiencia directa, desarrollarán relaciones en el sector y contarán con la ayuda de mentores y asesoría de desarrollo profesional a través del programa. Según la encuesta a estudiantes del 2011 de la Asociación Nacional de Colegios Universitarios y Empleadores (NACE, por sus siglas en inglés), los internados pagados tienen una relación directa con el éxito
en la búsqueda de empleo y a los nuevos graduados universitarios que participaron en internados les fue mucho mejor en el mercado laboral que sus colegas sin experiencia. Las internas Latina Smart documentarán sus experiencias en tiempo real mediante canales de medios de Latina Smart mientras realizan una gama de funciones en diferentes departamentos para conocer el proceso del comercio minorista, desde la estrategia de negocios y la comercialización, hasta la implementación de las tiendas y la experiencia del cliente. Durante el programa de 10 semanas, las internas tendrán la oportunidad de contribuir a negociaciones con suministradores, participar en la planeación de material de publicidad y promociones, trabajar en relaciones públicas y acti-
vaciones de mercadotecnia, así como realizar análisis financieros.
del 2013 y el programa de internado comenzará el 20 de mayo del 2013.
“Kmart aprovecha la oportunidad de apoyar las ambiciones de nuestra diversa comunidad”, dijo Andrew Stein, jefe interino de mercadotecnia de Kmart. “A través del programa de internado Latina Smart tenemos como objetivo habilitar a jóvenes hispanas que tratan de incorporarse a la competitiva fuerza de trabajo al ofrecer oportunidades de desarrollo profesional que cierren la brecha entre la educación y la experiencia”.
Establecida en el 2011, la iniciativa Latina Smart tuvo por fin ser una comunidad en Internet dedicada a habilitar a mujeres hispanas. En su primer año, el programa creó un fondo de becas que otorgaba $25,000 en asistencia de matrícula a alumnas de último año de secundaria que estaban por graduarse y estudiantes de estudios postsecundarios. A partir de ese impulso inicial, el programa Latina Smart sigue trabajando para ofrecer oportunidades únicas a los diversos clientes de Kmart.
Entre el 17 de octubre y el 31 de diciembre, las candidatas pueden presentar su hoja de vida y un ensayo de 200 palabras a través de Kmart.com/LatinaSmart. Las candidatas seleccionadas recibirán notificación de su aceptación en abril

San Francisco Giants Capture Second Title Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR The San Francisco Giants have won their second World Series Title in three years by sweeping the Detroit Tigers in a best of seven series. Though their victory over the Tigers may seem too easy to some, their road to the World Series was definitely not. Their first opponent in the National League Division Series was the Cincinnati Reds. The Division Series is a best out of five series and the Giants hosted the first two games. However, the team was unable to get much run support for their pitchers and soon found themselves heading back to Cincinnati down two games to none. All that change when the Giants reach Cincinnati. With their backs against the wall facing elimination,
the Giants fought back and surprised the Reds and the rest of the baseball world by winning three in a row. Next came the National League Championship Series. The Giants’ opponents were the reigning World Series Champions the St. Louis zzCardinals. Both teams won a game in San Francisco, but the Cardinals won the first two in St. Louis. Once again the Giants had their backs to the wall facing elimination. But once again the team rose to the challenge and defeated the Cardinals in games five and six, and blowing them out in game seven. Justin Verlander, the Tigers Ace pitcher, pitched in game one of the World Series. Some said he would dominate the Giants, but that was not the case. Third Baseman Pablo Sandoval, from Venezuela, blasted two homeruns off Verland-
er. He would later go on to hit another homerun in the game joining Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, and Albert Pujols as the only players in MLB history to hit three home runs in a World Series game. Sandoval would also go on to become the World Series MVP. Marco Scutaro, also from Venezuela, was a major force in the Giants’ championship run. Scutaro, won the NLCS MVP with his 14 hits and a batting average of .500 (14 for 28). Scutaro also drove in the game-winning run in Game 4 of the World Series. Finally there was Sergio Romo. He became the teams’ closer after Brian Wilson got injured and was out for the season. Romo seemed invincible through out playoffs and struck the three in a row in Game 4 of the World Series. The last batter he faced was Triple
Crown Winner Miguel Cabrera. The Giants’ World Series victory may have come

La presión arterial normal para la mayoría de los adultos sanos es inferior a 120/80 mm Hg. Cada día que su presión arterial está en 140/90 mm Hg o más, usted está dañando sus vasos sanguíneos y haciendo que su corazón trabaje más. DIOVAN relaja y ensancha los vasos sanguíneos, lo que permite que la sangre fluya más fácilmente y se reduzca la presión arterial. DIOVAN comienza a actuar desde el primer día en que empieza a tomarlo. Pregúntele a su médico hoy mismo por DIOVAN. Para obtener más información, visite www.DIOVAN.com/es2.

DIOVAN (DYE’-o-van) (valsartan) Tablets Read the Patient Information that comes with DIOVAN before you take it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or treatment. If you have any questions about DIOVAN, ask your doctor or pharmacist. What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN? DIOVAN can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. Talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your blood pressure if you plan to become pregnant. If you get pregnant while taking DIOVAN, tell your doctor right away. What is DIOVAN? DIOVAN is a prescription medicine called an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It is used in adults to: • lower high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children, 6 to 16 years of age. • treat heart failure in adults. In these patients, DIOVAN may lower the need for hospitalization that happens from heart failure. • improve the chance of living longer after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in adults. DIOVAN is not for children under 6 years of age or children with certain kidney problems. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension). Blood pressure is the force in your blood vessels when your heart beats and when your heart rests. You have high blood pressure when the force is too much. DIOVAN can help your blood vessels relax so your blood pressure is lower. Medicines that lower your blood pressure lower your chance of having a stroke or heart attack. High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body and causes damage to the blood vessels. If high blood pressure is not treated, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure and vision problems. Heart Failure occurs when the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. Just walking or moving can make you short of breath, so you may have to rest a lot. Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): A heart attack is caused by a blocked artery that results in damage to the heart muscle. What should I tell my doctor before taking DIOVAN? Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including whether you: • have any allergies. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in DIOVAN. • have a heart condition • have liver problems • have kidney problems • are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. See “What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN?” • are breast-feeding. It is not known if DIOVAN passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take DIOVAN or breast-feed, but not both. Talk with your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take DIOVAN. • have ever had a reaction called angioedema, to another blood pressure medicine. Angioedema causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue and/or throat, and may cause difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. Especially tell your doctor if you take: • other medicines for high blood pressure or a heart problem • water pills (also called “diuretics”) • potassium supplements. Your doctor may check the amount of potassium in your blood periodically • a salt substitute. Your doctor may check the amount of potassium in your blood periodically • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen or naproxen) • certain antibiotics (rifamycin group), a drug used to protect against transplant rejection (cyclosporin) or an antiretroviral drug used to treat HIV/AIDS infection (ritonavir). These drugs may increase the effect of valsartan. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines with you to show to your doctor and pharmacist when a new medicine is prescribed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start taking any new medicine. Your doctor or pharmacist will know what medicines are safe to take together. How should I take DIOVAN? • Take DIOVAN exactly as prescribed by your doctor. • For treatment of high blood pressure, take DIOVAN one time each day, at the same time each day. • If your child cannot swallow tablets, or if tablets are not available in the prescribed strength, your pharmacist will mix DIOVAN as a liquid suspension for your child. If your child switches between taking the tablet and the suspension, your doctor will adjust the dose as needed. Shake the bottle of suspension well for at least 10 seconds before pouring the dose of medicine to give to your child.
NOVEMBER 2 - NOVEMBER 8, 2012
• For adult patients with heart failure or who have had a heart attack, take DIOVAN two times each day, at the same time each day. Your doctor may start you on a low dose of DIOVAN and may increase the dose during your treatment. • DIOVAN can be taken with or without food. • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next dose, do not take the missed dose. Take the next dose at your regular time. • If you take too much DIOVAN, call your doctor or Poison Control Center, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. What are the possible side effects of DIOVAN? DIOVAN may cause the following serious side effects: Injury or death to an unborn baby. See “What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN?” Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension). Low blood pressure is most likely to happen if you also take water pills, are on a low-salt diet, get dialysis treatments, have heart problems, or get sick with vomiting or diarrhea. Lie down, if you feel faint or dizzy. Call your doctor right away. Kidney problems. Kidney problems may get worse if you already have kidney disease. Some patients will have changes on blood tests for kidney function and may need a lower dose of DIOVAN. Call your doctor if you get swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands, or unexplained weight gain. If you have heart failure, your doctor should check your kidney function before prescribing DIOVAN. The most common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people with high blood pressure include: • headache • tiredness • dizziness • stomach (abdominal) pain • flu symptoms Side effects were generally mild and brief.

From patch to table: the many uses of a pumpkin (BPT) While pumpkins are most often associated with holiday pies, don’t underestimate this favorite of the squash and gourd family. Not only is the mighty pumpkin delicious, but it is also quite the multi-tasker.
Tips for roasting a pumpkin: To roast a pumpkin, Brown recommends roasting it at 350 to 375 F for a medium-length roasting time. The flesh will brown a bit. For a more concentrated flavor, roast at 300 F for a longer period of time and bump the temperature up to 425 F for the last 15 to 20 minutes. Pumpkins are a lot like potatoes - you can tell if they are done by touch. They will get softer the longer they cook.
Pumpkin can be added to a variety of dishes to provide textural elements as well as flavor. Anywhere a potato is being cut up and cooked, pumpkin would be a good addition and/or substitution. Pureed pumpkin can be added to a variety of sauces and soups. Pumpkin chili can be created by augmenting some of the stock and tomato with pureed pumpkin. Pumpkin and tomato go together
beautifully. This can be seen in autumn or pumpkin pizza, where the pumpkin becomes part of the sauce. Brown likes to top his pumpkin pizza with barbequed chicken. Pumpkin can also take center stage in dishes such as pumpkin-based
bread puddings and ice creams and pumpkin butter. Enjoy the full flavor of the pumpkin by dicing and roasting with other root vegetables, sauteing it to bring out its natural flavors or even putting it on the grill.

You see, we all go through embarrassing moments in our lives once in a blue moon;

Ever since I moved about an hour away from where I work, I started carrying in my car a gym bag with all the essentials just in case and it sure camein handy that fateful day.

La sobreexposición a los fuertes vientos y las temperaturas frías puede ser áspero en la piel. Antes de salir en los elementos aplicar una crema hidratante rica en glicerina y la piel cubierta con sombreros, guantes, etc para que la piel no está expuesta. Esto ayudará a evitar revertir los efectos del bien hidratada la piel, que puede conducir a la sequedad y las grietas que no se ve o se siente bien.
Una dieta saludable
Su dieta puede afectar directamente a la piel. Además de mantener la piel bien hidratada y protegida de las inclemencias, trate de aumentar la cantidad de frutas y verduras que come específicamente los que contienen antioxidantes y vitaminas que ayudan a promover la piel sana. Beber seis a ocho vasos de agua también ayuda a mejorar el tono de tu piel.

Flight
In theaters November 2 Quentin Tarantino presents The Man With the Iron Fists, an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA and Eli Roth. Making his debut as a big-screen director, co-writer and leading man, RZA—alongside an exciting international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu— tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero who all descend on one fabled village in China for a winner-takes-all battle for a fortune in gold. Blending astonishing martial-arts sequences from some of the masters of this world with the signature vision he brings as the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan and as one of hip-hop’s most dominant figures of the past two decades, RZA embarks upon his most ambitious, stylized and thrilling project to date.
Wreck-It Ralph
In theaters November 2 From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Wreck-It Ralph,” a hilarious, arcadegamehopping adventure. For decades, Ralph has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix Jr., the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz from the candycoated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time?

Las Cafeteras: New language for Chicanos in America
“Cuando la cultura muere, la gente muere” this means, “When the culture dies, the people die”. Las Cafeteras want to retain their culture and help it spread so that their histories never go unnoticed. In their goals to spread the Jarocho, bring communities together and give others an opportunity to look into their identities, they form a philosophy about experiences. Jose puts it like this, “We’re not Mexican enough to be from Mexico, and we’re not American enough to be considered the typical American. For us it’s defining who we are. Our experiences growing up as sons of immigrants.” He goes on to say that it is important to express oneself and challenge oneself.
Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR I recently had the opportunity to interview Jose Cano, a member of the East Los Angeles septet Las Cafeteras, who was very humble, but excited in explaining the philosophy and history of their band, their experiences, and goals of their music. Las Cafeteras official website proclaims “Yo no creo en fronteras. Yo cruzare” or “I don’t believe in borders. I will go forth.” This simple line forms a larger vision of the bands influences, environment, and overall philosophy. This philosophy is rooted in Chicanos finding identity within the United States, a place that is their home, but that is not representative of their ideologies presented in the mass media. As first generation Latino-Americans, they believe that mass media, in particular their music, does not resonate with people from every community. According to Jose Cano, “not everybody feels like it’s them.
That’s how I felt when I was in high school”. He adds, “people are hungry for this stuff, they wanna hear... something that feels totally different. Sung from the heart with all the sincerity possible.” The band was founded almost 6 years ago in large part because of free Son Jarocho classes that were being held at a Los Angeles community center called Eastside Café (which is where their name derives from). Son Jarocho is a type of folk music style that comes from the southern portions of Mexico, mainly the coastal areas of Veracruz. The communal music involves dancing, singing and contains Afro-Caribbean and Spanish elements played with guitars and various percussion instruments. To ‘Las Cafeteras’ the music was a much needed alternative to the aforementioned top hits radio that wouldn’t connect on the foundations of history, culture and identity that the

The influences of their music are a base of Mexican Son Jarocho blended with local influences such as Hip-Hop, Ska, Rock and Cumbia. Jose calls their fusion “Afro-Mexican Urban Folk”.
