No ignore las señales de aviso de la presión arterial alta. Pregúntele a su médico cómo Diovan puede ayudarle a que su nivel de presión arterial sea más saludable.

La presión arterial normal para la mayoría de adultos sanos es inferior a 120/80. Cada día que sus cifras están en 140/90 o más, usted está dañando sus vasos sanguíneos y haciendo que su corazón trabaje más. DIOVAN relaja y ensancha los vasos sanguíneos permitiendo que la sangre fluya más fácilmente. DIOVAN es el medicamento de venta con receta número 1 de su tipo.* DIOVAN empieza a hacer efecto desde el primer día que lo toma. Pregúntele a su médico hoy mismo por DIOVAN. Para obtener más información, visite www.Diovan.com.

* DIOVAN es un bloqueador de los receptores de angiotensina (ARB). DIOVAN es un medicamento de venta con receta que se utiliza para tratar la presión arterial alta en adultos. INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE SOBRE SEGURIDAD: ¿Cuál es la información más importante que debo saber sobre DIOVAN? Si queda embarazada, deje de tomar DIOVAN y llame de inmediato a su médico. DIOVAN puede dañar al feto causando lesiones o incluso la muerte. Si tiene planeado quedar embarazada, hable con su médico sobre otras opciones de tratamiento para bajar la presión arterial alta antes de tomar DIOVAN. DIOVAN puede producir efectos secundarios graves como presión arterial baja (hipotensión), especialmente si toma diuréticos, consume una dieta con bajo contenido de sal, recibe tratamiento con diálisis, tiene problemas cardíacos, o tiene un cuadro de vómitos o diarrea. Acuéstese si se siente mareado o percibe que puede desmayarse y llame de inmediato a su médico. Otros efectos secundarios graves que se pueden presentar con DIOVAN son problemas renales. Llame a su médico si se le hinchan los pies, los tobillos o las manos, o sube de peso de forma inexplicable.

Informe a su médico sobre todos los medicamentos que utilice, en especial otros medicamentos para la presión arterial alta o un problema cardíaco, diuréticos, suplementos de potasio y sustitutos de la sal que contienen potasio o medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (NSAID, por sus siglas en inglés, como ibuprofeno o naproxeno).

Rx only

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? Taking DIOVAN during pregnancy can cause injury and even death to your unborn baby. If you get pregnant, stop taking DIOVAN and call your doctor right away. Talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your blood pressure if you plan to become pregnant. 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. 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. 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 • a salt substitute • nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen or naproxen) 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. • 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 in people that already have kidney disease. Some people 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 • flu symptoms • stomach (abdominal pain) • dizziness • tiredness Side effects were generally mild and brief. They generally have not caused patients to stop taking DIOVAN. The most common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people with heart failure include: • dizziness • joint and back pain • low blood pressure • tiredness • diarrhea • high blood potassium Common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people after a heart attack which caused them to stop taking the drug include: • low blood pressure • cough • high blood creatinine (decreased kidney function) • rash Tell your doctor if you get any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of DIOVAN. For a complete list, ask your doctor or pharmacist. How do I store DIOVAN? • Store DIOVAN tablets at room temperature between 59° to 86°F (15°C-30°C). • Keep DIOVAN tablets in a closed container in a dry place. • Store bottles of DIOVAN suspension at room temperature less than 86°F (30°C) for up to 30 days, or refrigerate between 35°F-46°F (2°C-8°C) for up to 75 days. • Keep DIOVAN and all medicines out of the reach of children. General information about DIOVAN Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in patient information leaflets. Do not use DIOVAN for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give DIOVAN to other people, even if they have the same symptoms you have. It may harm them. This leaflet summarizes the most important information about DIOVAN. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your doctor or pharmacist for information about DIOVAN that is written for health professionals.

Plan Ahead, Get to the Airport Early — And More Parking Now Available SAN JOSE, CA

As the busy holiday travel season approaches, Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) advises travelers to be prepared for takeoff: plan ahead, know the rules for security, and be at your terminal early. The airport reminds holiday travelers that they should get to their terminal at least 90 minutes before their flight so they have plenty of time to clear security, find their gate, and try one of the restaurants in the new airport. “Since last Thanksgiving we’ve made major changes to our parking facilities that might surprise our travelers who haven’t been here recently,” said Vicki Day, SJC director of customer services. “We’re opened several new parking lots that provide greater convenience for passengers, especially at our new Terminal B, and we closed our former long-term lot on the far side of the airport.” SJC expects activity to be about the same as last year’s Thanksgiving travel period. SJC flights are usually very full already, and most will have about 90 percent of their seats filled on the busiest days. Holi-

day travel now starts the Friday before Thanksgiving, November 18, and the busiest travel day is expected to be the Sunday following the holiday, November 27, as people return home. “Our busiest travel days of the year actually are in August when business and vacation travel are both at their peaks in Silicon Valley,” said Day. “The day before Thanksgiving is busy, of course, but the single-day peak just is not as big as it used to be since holiday travel now spreads over nearly two weeks.” She noted that during the holidays the airport sees many travelers who aren’t as familiar with the rules and procedures for air travel and security, which can slow things down. “It’s really important for travelers to check TSA’s website at www.tsa.gov to get current information about security requirements.” She said that holiday travelers often have questions about bringing food with them, and recommends they check TSA guidelines at www.tsa.gov/travelers/ a i r t r av e l/ h ol i d ay. s ht m .

• A new parking lot right next to Terminal B (Hourly Lot 5) provides very convenient short-term parking for the new terminal, also $2 per 30 minutes with a $30 daily maximum. • Two new daily lots also opened in June near Terminal B. Daily Lot 4 and Daily Lot 6 offer parking at flat rate of $22 per day. Shuttles provide direct service to the terminals from Daily Lot 6. • SJC’s free Cell Phone Waiting Area is conveniently located near the airport for drivers waiting to pick up passengers. • Accessible spaces for vehicles with a disability placard are inside the Terminal A garage and Terminal B garage. SJC AND TSA HOLIDAY TRAVEL TIPS: TSA’s “3-1-1 program” is a simple way to remember security rules now in effect at airports. By following these guidelines ahead of time, passengers can help make the security screening process much faster and easier for everyone. • 3-ounce or smaller containers of liquid or gel are permitted. More than three ounces must be packed in checked baggage. • 1-quart clear plastic, zip-top bags for holding 3-ounce or smaller containers. • 1 bag per traveler is allowed. Be sure to take the bag out of your carry-on and place it in a plastic tub for inspection by TSA. • Beverages and other items purchased by passengers after going through the security checkpoint are allowed on the plane. Beverages purchased prior to passing through security will not be permitted through the checkpoint. • Especially during the holiday season, passengers should bring only unwrapped gifts. Wrapped items may have to be unwrapped and inspected, causing delays and inconvenience. • Avoid wearing metal in clothing.

Retomando el Sueño Americano Patty Diaz, Directora Ejecutiva Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network (SIREN)

Imagínate un California sin escuelas, bibliotecas para nuestros hijos, sin algún tipo de ayuda para las personas de tercera edad y sin hospitales o clínicas comunitarias. ¿Es este el sueño americano por el cual nuestros padres arriesgaron sus vidas, dejando todo lo que tenían y conocían atrás? ¿Es este el California que queremos para las generaciones futuras? Desafortunadamente, el sueño americano en dónde podíamos encontrar oportunidades para el éxito de nuestros hijos está desapareciendo. La tierra de las oportunidades se va sumergiendo poco a poco detrás de la inhabilidad de los legisladores de imponer impuestos a los

ricos y a las corporaciones. No es ninguna sorpresa saber que los más afectados por la crisis presupuestaria han sido las comunidades más vulnerables: los niños, personas de tercera edad, las personas de bajos ingresos y los inmigrantes. En San Jose, escuelas, centros comunitarios y bibliotecas han sido cerrados, dejando a los jóvenes sin la ayuda necesaria para el éxito académico. Además, los recortes a programas de ayuda para personas ancianas, ejecuciones hipotecarias y recortes en maestros hacen aún más difícil que nuestras comunidades se superen. Todos aprovechamos los servicios que el estado tiene que ofrecer y es hora de que el 1% superior pague su parte justa, porque una democracia sin igual-

dad de oportunidades no es una democracia verdadera. Como Eric Liv y Nick Hanaver resaltaron en su libro El verdadero patriota (The True Patriot), “una sociedad no puede permanecer fuerte cuando aquellos que piensan que ya no necesitan ayuda pueden simplemente evadir cualquier obligación de ayudar a los demás.” Es por eso que SIREN apoya una futura iniciativa que les pida a los ricos y corporaciones pagar su parte justa en impuestos. Es hora que los pobres dejemos de asumir la gran parte de los impuestos para mantener vivo el sueño americano. California necesita recuperar el sueño americano para nuestros hijos y futuras generaciones y la mejor manera de hacerlo es imponiendo impuestos a las corporaciones y los más ricos.

With Poverty Comes Hunger and Malnutrition

Hector Curriel hcurrie1777@yahoo.com

Hilbert Morales, EL OBSERVADOR Hmorales@el-observador.com

The latest information supports the conclusion that many more now live in poverty. An income of $22,000 or less is the national standard for being impoverished. This is too low for Silicon Valley where estimates of $80,000 per year annual income *are required for a family of four to have a life style above the subsistence level. For the past 40 years, public policy has enabled a capitalistic system which has resulted in one percent of the population becoming very rich and influential. This is also the outcome of the focus on the creation and accumulaion of wealth by corporate executives who were raised during the post-World War II era of great prosperity and high employment levels. Today, U.S. Census data reveals that more people and their kids are living in poverty. With poverty comes hunger and malnutition because the hungry will consume high caloric food which is low in essential nutrients (vitamins and essential amino acids). There is a focus on obesity and the onset of type two diabetes. Latinos have a high incidence of these two. Note that public policy debates do not include programs which assist the unemployed to earn the basic needs of human existence. These needs are food, shelter, health care, access to medical care, access to education and training which permits employment that pays a living wage. It is not surprising that many people in America are now living in poverty. A study, supported by the Lucille Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, collected data from the past seven years. That informa-

tion reveals that one in four African-American kids live in poverty; one in three Latino kids live in poverty, while only one in ten White kids live in poverty. This is an outcome of income disparity in our current domestic economy. Who in the U.S. Congress is addressing this matter? Locally, school lunch programs are provided to kids who live in poverty. Congress needs to continue and expand the Food Stamp program administered by the Department of Agriculture. The U.S. Congress must adopt corrective policy measures which enable the middle class to again become the world’s economic consumer engine. The very rich and influential (top 1%) will not ,and do not ,let money ‘trickle down’ so public policy must become focused on the creationof jobs and improvement of the national infrastructure. It shall require a mixture of public and private engagement. Meanwhile, community organizations such as the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties and the Alameda County Community Food Bank, are doing much to provide food to local food kitchens and community centers. As we approach the holiday season of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Year’s Day 2011, these organizations are in need of donations of both money and canned foods. On Saturday, November 19th, members of the Kiwanis Club will seek food contributions. The Boy Scouts of America will collect canned foods. One supermaket chain (Safeway Stores) will have assembled a bag of non-perishable groceries which can be bought for $10 and immediately de-

posited in the food barrels provided by the food banks. Yesterday, Comunidad del Valle (Damian Trujillo, producer) devoted the entire program to the need to provide food for the hungry. Charity begin at home in one’s neighborhood. Today one in three Latino kids in Silicon Valley (San Jose) live in poverty and experience hunger. Pancho Guevarra, Executive Director, Sacred Heart Community Center, reminds all that the hungry form long lines all year around at that location. Unemployment exceeds the 9% national level in local Latino communities. One in six adults in Alameda County are getting food from their local food bank. In addition 21,000 kids are supplied food weekly. 8,000 volunteers are needed to help distribute the food. A $1 donation provides food for five meals. “The working poor are those most in need (one in seven) because their wages simply do not meet the needs of their family”,stated David Cox, St. Joseph’s Family Center, Gilroy, “Hunger is everywhere and exists all year around”. Sandra Cardenas said, “One in ten individuals in San Mateo and Santa Clara County receive food from Second Harvest Food Bank. Since the recession began, SHFB is servicng 50% more individuals”. To do your part, at the minimum donate at least $10 to either Second Harvest Food Bank (www.SHFB. org) or to Alameda County Community Food Bank (www.ACCFB.org) today. And both organizations need volunteers all year around, but especially now.

Pagar por adelantado para salir de la recesión (NewsUSA)

Los signos sugieren una lenta mejora de la economía, todos los estadounidenses están de acuerdo - nosotros nunca más queremos ver otra gran recesión. Los consumidores están aprendiendo a vivir de acuerdo a sus medios. La administración de Obama está considerando la creación de una nueva agencia de gobierno para proteger mejor los intereses del consumidor. Sin embargo, hay un gran riesgo, los legisladores podrían limitar el acceso a uno de los elementos más importantes de la recuperación de los consumidores - la red de marcas de tarjetas prepago. Las personas necesitan los productos financieros que le ayudan a gastar según sus medios. Con las tarjetas prepago, usted no puede gastar más dinero del que puso en la tarjeta, así que es fácil mantenerse dentro del presupuesto y no gastar de más. Las tarjetas prepago también permiten a los estadounidenses que no pu-

eden calificar para una tarjeta de crédito llevar algo más que dinero en efectivo. Las tarjetas de prepago dan un nivel de seguridad que el efectivo no puede, y ofrece una protección de valor al consumidor. De acuerdo a un estudio realizado por la Oficina de Control de la Moneda, las tarjetas de nomina de prepago son menos costosas que los servicios de cobro de cheques o cuenta de cheques con un balance de bajo equilibrio. Tras la caída de la vivienda y la crisis del crédito, el gobierno debe fortalecer la protección de los consumidores. Sin embargo, la nueva normativa no debe impedir a los estadounidenses comprar productos financieros útiles. Por ejemplo, las nuevas leyes podrían limitar el acceso e incrementar los costos para las tarjetas prepago. Algunos reglamentos que se sugieren podrían ser mecanismos de depósitos de tarjetas prepago. Como tal, las tarjetas prepago solo podrían venderse en las sucursales bancarias. Esto perjudicaría de forma desproporcionada

a millones de estadounidenses sin cuentas bancarias. Otros requisitos aparentemente inocentes pueden ser requerir que las compañías envíen sus estados de cuenta, aunque los consumidores prefieran un correo electrónico o un mensaje de texto. Sin embargo, otras propuestas apuntan a los estados, que permitiría exista una cadena de normas de estado por estado que sirvan un interés limitado. Como ya ocurre en algunos estados, como Vermont, las leyes estatales podrían ser tan prohibitivas que obligarían a las compañías a sacar sus productos de los estantes, limitando el acceso de los consumidores. Los cambios de reglamentación deben sopesarse frente a su impacto económico y en consonancia con la manera como los consumidores utilizan los productos financieros. Sin ese punto de vista equilibrado, los cambios de política bien intencionados podrían prevenir a los norteamericanos de utilizar herramientas como las tarjetas de crédito de prepago para controlar sus gastos.

Tax deadline looms for charitable contributions

Jason Alderman

your charitable contributions:

Practical Money Matters

Confirm the organization’s tax-exempt status. Charitable auction purchases and donations. If you buy an item at a charitable auction, you’re only allowed to claim a deduction for the amount you pay that’s above its fair market value, so be sure to get documentation from the organization (e.g., a catalog showing a good-faith estimate).

Each year, roughly onethird of American households itemize deductions on their federal income taxes. For example, by December 31 you must pay for any uninsured medical expenses, state and local income and property taxes, and unreimbursed employee expenses you want to deduct from your 2011 taxes. You also need to decide how much to contribute to charitable organizations and either charge your credit. Here are a few issues to keep in mind when choosing how you’ll make – and report –

IRA distributions. For many, one of our tax code’s downfalls is that unless you itemize deductions you cannot reap tax advantages from your charitable contributions. Although the RMD contribution itself isn’t tax-deductible,

the amount won’t be included in your adjusted gross income (AGI), thereby providing several potential tax benefits: • A lower AGI could reduce taxes on your Social Security benefits. • It could make you eligible for tax breaks that are tied to AGI. • The contribution will lower your overall IRA balance, which in turn reduces the size of future mandatory distributions. Choose wisely. Before making a donation or volunteering your time, make sure the nonprofit organization is well-run.

Tótem – una mirada de reflexión sobre la evolución y el amor Cinthia Rodríguez

Lo primero que necesitamos saber acerca de Cirque du Soleil es que, en cada espectáculo hay alucinantes actuaciones seguidas por más alucinantes actuaciones. En esta vez ocasión no hubo excepción. Tan pronto se apagaron las luces, la gente tomó sus asientos y comenzó la historia de la evolución y amor. Tótem se abrió con lo que parecía una bendición del nativo americano con la ayuda de una banda en vivo. Escrita y dirigida por Robert Lepage, Tótem se trata sobre el viaje de la especie humana desde su estado original de los anfibios a su último deseo de volar. Los personajes evolucionan en un escenario que evoca una tortuga gigante, el símbolo de origen de muchas civilizaciones antiguas. “Este show es muy interesante porque habla de la evolución del hombre desde como se creo la tierra, de los anfibios, los monos, hasta los neandertales y hasta el día de hoy como son los hombres”, dijo Denise Gracia-Sorta, artista de patines. “Es muy interesante para los niños, para los mayores, es muy bonito.

Los primero en subir al escenario fueron un trío que realizo trucos de balance con anillos suspendidos en el aire. Poco después, un grupo de mujeres en monociclos colectaron tasas de plata entre ellas mismas. Durante un accidente pequeño, con una de las mono ciclista, pareciera que a todos se nos detuvo el corazón por varios segundos, ansiosos por ver si volvía al escenario, tan pronto como ella lo hizo, hubo un gran suspiro de alivio. Inspirado en muchos de los mitos fundadores, Tótem ilustra, a través de un lenguaje visual y acrobático, el progreso evolutivo de la humanidad. En algún lugar entre la ciencia y la leyenda,

las actuaciones exploran los lazos que unen al hombre con otras especies, sus sueños y su infinito potencial. Se unen todas las naciones de diferentes culturas de todo el mundo para realizar el espectáculo. Había una pareja que comparten un columpio mientras muestran su cuento de amor. La mujer era muy tímida, mientras que el hombre sabía lo que estaba haciendo. Parecía como si ella no tenía ningún interés en él, pero el hombre era persistente y valió la pena. La actuación fue muy íntima ya la vez adecuada. Después de lo que parecía ser un experimento científico muy complicado, otra historia de amor siguió.

En éste, estaba claro que la pareja ya se había comprometido el uno al otro.

La pareja se unió a Tótem desde el principio. Ensayan tres horas antes de cada espectáculo. Se preparan con gimnasia, Pilates, y su rutina.

El dúo patinador Denise Gracia-Sorta y Massino Medini represento un matrimonio que estaba listo para comenzar un viaje juntos. “Nosotros representamos el amor y la vida que se encuentra en el amor entre las parejas”, dijo Gracia-Sorta.

“Me siento muy bien, es una sensación que nunca la puedo encontrar en otro lugar solamente Cirque du Soleil te puede dar esta emoción”, dijo Medini.

El dúo está casado en la vida real. Gracia-Sorta y Medini se conocen desde que eran pequeños. Ellos han estado patinando juntos durante 17 años. También tienen una hija de 5 años de edad y, por supuesto, está aprendiendo a patinar.

Cada vez que salen al escenario es como la primera vez para ambos. Todavía se ponen un poco nerviosos antes de entrar a la pista pero cuando la pisan, esa emoción se va y se llenan de energía. Siempre dan el 100 porciento y el público les da la carga que necesitan para emocionarse.

“A nosotros nos buscaron entre muchos artistas y la historia que tenemos, ya era nuestro numero, estaba montado como lo tenemos ahora”, dijo Gracia-Sorta. “Nos escogieron así porque es una historia de amor. Y como todos los latinos so-

Quizá se van a encontrar un poco nerviosos por los artistas, para sólo terminaran sorprendidos. Hay incluso un volcán y un par de extraterrestres que pasan al escenario. Este ha sido un espectáculo muy advertido, no se lo pierdan.

La retinopatía diabética, que ocurre cuando la enfermedad daña los diminutos vasos sanguíneos que nutren a la retina, es la principal causa de ceguera en los Estados Unidos entre las personas de 20 a 74 años de edad. Quienes tienen diabetes tipo 1 o tipo 2 corren el riesgo de padecer retinopatía diabética; el National Eye Institute (Instituto Nacional de los Ojos) calcula que entre el 40 y el 45 por ciento de los estadounidenses que reciben el diagnóstico de diabetes tienen alguna forma de retinopatía. Mas allá de la retinopatía, las complicaciones de la vista relacionadas con la diabetes incluyen un mayor riesgo de padecer glaucoma y cataratas. “Todos los pacientes con diabetes deberían hacerse un examen completo de la vista con dilatación al menos una vez al año”, dijo la Dra. Chous. Dado que, con frecuen-

cia, no hay signos externos ni dolor en las primeras etapas de la diabetes, los cambios en la vista como la visión borrosa, ver manchas o el enrojecimiento persistente pueden ser síntomas de la enfermedad.

Vale la pena proteger a su familia. Si usted o uno de los miembros de su familia se enferma, lo que menos necesita es tener la preocupación de cómo pagar por la atención médica.

¡Ilumine estos días festivos con el mejor espectáculo de luces del norte de California!

Esta semana en el mundo de la tecnología Luis Alba El Observador

En el mundo de la tecnología nunca nos conformaremos con las cosas que ya tenemos. Quienes tengan un televisor de 55 pulgadas ahora van a desear tener lo más nuevo de Sony, el ya famoso Sony HMZ-T1. El HMZ-T1 es un auricular que nos permite ver películas, televisión y jugar videojuegos en 3D y en alta definición a unos cuantos centímetros de nuestros ojos. Saldrá a la venta en unos meses pero Sony ya está tomando pedidos desde ahora. Imaginen poder jugar el famoso Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, el video juego con mayor ganancias en el mundo. Este juego genero ganancias de $400 millones en

sus primeras 24 horas. Call of Duty rompe records en ventas por tercera vez, cada vez mejorando el juego anterior.

es que es a prueba de agua. El Motorola Razor cuenta con protección en los circuitos por lo que si se moja no se daña.

Y que decir de los teléfonos, todos querrán el iPhone 4s. Pero será mejor esperar a que perfeccionen unos cuantos detalles, como por ejemplo el problema con la batería. Esta batería según estaba programada para ser más duradera y no ha sido el caso en todos los teléfonos. Este contratiempo necesita atención inmediata ya que tiene competencia con el nuevo Motorola Razor.

Por último a quien no le gustaría una tablet, se especula que será el aparato más vendido. Por su precio y por sus utilidades que tiene en cuanto a apps. a mi me encantaría un Kindle Fire. Este Tablet además de poder ver películas y bajar libros cuenta con el famoso Cloud, el cual funciona como un disco duro en internet y almacena toda tu información desde música hasta tus documentos más importantes.

El Motorola Razor tiene una pantalla de 7.2 milímetros y un procesador de 1.2 GHz con cámara integrada de 8 mega pixeles. Pero lo que hace a este teléfono deseable

Así que hagan sus cartitas a San Nicolás, (Santa Claus) ya que los regalos estarán buenos en esta navidad y si nos les llega, entonces escríbanle a los Santos Reyes Magos a ver si entrando el año bajan de precio.

“Arthur Christmas” La comedia animada por CGI y en 3D para toda la familia Arthur Christmas, una producción de Aardman para Sony Pictures Animation, revela por fin la increíble respuesta, nunca antes contestada, a la pregunta que todos los niños se hacen: “¿Cómo hace Santa Claus para entregar todos esos regalos en una sola noche?”. La solución es la emocionante operación de Santa de alta tecnología, escondida bajo el Polo Norte. Pero en el centro del film hay una historia con los ingredientes de un clásico cuento de Navidad: una familia en estado de cómica disfuncionalidad y un héroe poco probable, el hijo menor de Santa, Arthur. Cuando a esta increíble operación se le olvida un niño de entre cientos de millones, Arthur, el menos hábil de los Claus, se embarca en una misión rebelde, hilarante y emocionante contra el reloj junto

WARNING – IMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divide, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e. joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1.Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court. 2.Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor child or children: 3.Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4.Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However you may use community property, quasicommunity property, or you own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. ADVERTENCIA – INFORMACION IMPORTANTE ADVERTENCIA: De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para los fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej. tenencia conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado.

Not only is Argentine actress and singer Mia Maestro playing Carmen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 but her song “Llovera” is also included on the soundtrack. “Llovera” is featured during Edward and Bella’s honeymoon scene in Brazil. It is the first song in Spanish to be featured on any of the Twilight soundtracks! Mía Maestro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1978. She has accrued a selection of wide ranging film credits since she made her screen debut in Carlos Saura’s Tango, which received Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for best foreign film.

Initially trained in Argentina, Maestro traveled to Berlin to develop a vocal repertoire of the works of Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler. Her first proper acting turn was in the play The Summer Trilogy by Carlo Goldoni, and by 1998, she secured the coveted role of Lulu in Frank Wedekind’s Pandora’s Box at the San Martin Theater in her hometown, Buenos Aires. For this she garnered an “Ace” Award for Best New Artist of the Year. In 2004, Maestro appeared in The Motorcycle Diaries, based on the journals of Che Guevara, leader of the Cuban Revolution. In 2006, she was seen co-

starring in Poseidon as Elena Gonzalez, a stowaway girl going to meet her sick brother in the hospital with friend and waiter Valentine. On September 30th 2010, she was cast as Carmen of the Denali Coven in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. In Breaking Dawn, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), plus those they love, must deal with a chain of consequences brought on y a marriage, a honeymoon, and the tumultuous birth of a child…which brings an unforeseen and shocking development for Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

UFC 139: Como en los viejos tiempos Esteban Tomé Fuentes UFC Latino

El UFC desembarca por primera vez en San José, California con UFC 139, un evento que promete convertirse en uno de los mejores del año. El 19 de noviembre en el HP Pavilion dos íconos del Pride Fighting Championship se enfrentarán en el octágono en un combate que decidirá el segundo lugar en el escalafón de futuros contendientes al título de los semicompletos por detrás de Rashad Evans.

ALL ART IS HIGH RES AND BUILT TO 100% SCALE - 300 DPI - CMYK TRIM: 5.1” W -x- 5”H .125” BLEED ALL FOUR SIDES

Dan Henderson y Mauricio Rua son dos viejos conocidos que han compartido vestuarios en más de una ocasión a lo largo de tantos años compitiendo en la tierra del sol naciente. Pese a tener una historia común, esta será la primera vez que se enfrenten dentro de una jaula. Mauricio querrá vengar la derrota de su hermano, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, que allá por el año 2001 caía en decisión dividida frente a Henderson en el Pride 17. Este será el tercer retorno de Dan Henderson al UFC.

MOST VALUABLE PRESENT.

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua resignó su cinturón de los semicompletos frente al actual monarca de la categoría, Jon “Bones” Jones en marzo de este año en un encuentro que no tuvo equivalencias. Shogun pareció ausente en ese combate y recibió una de las peores palizas de su carrera. Meses más tarde volvería a encontrar su mejor nivel en su tierra natal saldando una vieja deuda frente a Forrest Griffin.

El evento principal empezará a las 6pm PT/9pm ET, y 8pm México/11pm

Argentina. PPV para los Estados Unidos y por Fox Sports para Latinoamérica.
