San Jose native sweeps for IED’s in Afghanistan

Sgt. Jacob Harrer PATROL BASE WISHTAN, Helmand Province, Afghanistan

The pointman of a patrol spotted something sticking out of the ground. He immediately identified it as an improvised explosive device (IED), the number one killer of coalition forces in Afghanistan. Lance Cpl. Andrew J. Rodriguez, the lead man in the patrol, had to clear a safe path for the explosive ordinance disposal team to respond to the device. Using his metal detector, he swept the area until he heard the beep – a signal that confirmed there was metal buried in the dirt. When the EOD team arrived, they confirmed a second IED on the spot. “It was pretty nerveracking,” said Rodriguez, a mortarman by trade with Weapons Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment. “I’m usually very relaxed, but I was

definitely nervous standing right on top of an IED.” He said the pointman has one of the most dangerous jobs in the platoon. His job is to select a safe path for the patrol, visually inspecting every step he takes while still on the lookout for the enemy. “His job is primarily just to safeguard his force by using his brain, his experience, his insight, and his intuition to figure out where the IEDs are most likely and then avoiding those areas,” said Capt. David T. Russell, Weapons Company commander. “The metal detector is a backup to doublecheck what his brain and his eyes are telling him.” To make his job harder, insurgents began constructing IEDs to circumvent the metal detector. Some IEDs contain rudimentary materials: wooden boards and blocks, trash and plastic containers. The finished product contains very little metal,

After the pointman scans the area with his eyes and sweeps the ground with his metal detector, he keeps walking. The rest of the squad follows the route strictly to avoid triggering a pressure-sensitive IED, said Cpl. Adam McKinley, a

OPINION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

ITS ABOUT IMPOVERISHED PEOPLE

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

The current batch of elected officials have and are missing the main point about today’s social and economic matters. The current Repubican leadership is focused upon the replacement of President Obama. Their objective is to elect a Republican as the next President. Their partisan leaders keep telling us to focus on what is wrong with the economy which is reputedly the worst our nation ever experienced. The present incumbent, President Obama, was elccted overwhemingly in 2008 by presenting and developing the theme “Change you can believe in.” Today, many who voted for him are not emotionally content with the current performance. Applied intellectual logic confirms that the Obama Administration had to deal with a collapsing world economy first or watch it fail along with the American domestic economy. The Democratic leaders, especially President Obama, are reluctantly being quiet because their turn will come once they know who has been chosen to try to depose our current President. Their public policy forums have been about demeaning their competition. Not addressed is what to do to re-establish the middle class whose incomes have been decimated by the trend to outsource jobs. That trend has been practiced since 1975…it is not new. Today’s great political public policy issue must be about impoverished people. Statisticians deal with their

plight in terms of numbers: The unemployed (and do not count those who have stopped job hunting). Another index used is income levels. Recent data reveal that more people have slipped from middle class down to poverty levels in numbers which exceeds those experienced during the Great Deression of the 1930’s. Another index used is the number of home foreclosures. Our local community has been ravaged by the legal but inhumae behavior of those ‘who follow and apply contract law’. Too many families have been displaced from their mortgaged homes because, through no fault of their own, the new global economy enticed corporations to seek higher profit margins by outsourcing jobs to those global locals where cheaper skilled labor is available. The current mortgage crisis is an opportunity for our nation to adopt a new national policy which does more that protect the real estate agent, the broker, the banks and other lenders, but also includes legal provisions which provide for a period when the home buyer can continue to occupy the dwelling by payment of ‘interest only’, property taxes, and homeowners insurance. The current situation permits certain predators to choose to foreclose on family homes whose ‘built up equity’ represent the only wealth of that family. New mortgage contracts must permit that ‘paid up’ equity to be retained for use to fund the next home or retirement. This is another change to be incorporated into the ‘new home mortgage purchase contract’. Today, the only right a home buyer has is to make the monthly payment due over a 15 or 30 year period. Much can and does happen during such a protracted time in society, the global and domestic econ-

omy, and local governance. In fact, even ethos changes (ethics, morals, and religious dogma which provides the 10 commandments.) TODAY CHALLENGE IS ABOUT PEOPLE’S NEEDS. Can our government, through its legislative acts and governance, meet the needs of people on national scales as well as global scales? Let’s logically begin with the current plight of many Americans. The unemployed need jobs; the the poor need both public and private assistance; the homeless need a home, and those who suffered through foreclosure, need to be assisted in their recovery of some place they can call ‘home’. The undocumented need to be provided an honorable way to become legal residents. The disabled and handicapped need appropriate levels of assistance. The national infrastructure and security need just enough to maintain America as the world power it is today and not much more than that. The various legislative programs which the U.S. Congress can enact soon, need to be coordinated so as to not improperly encumber the possible levels of tax revenues to be realized. Past Congressional, executive and administrative actions have resulted in too much deficit spending. Let’s begin to deal with greed, avarice, profiteering, and predatory actions. Let’s begin to care for the needy rather than the greedy. Today America needs both a national and global integrated, collaborative and coordinated approach which addresses the needs of the people….all the people, not just the 99% or the 1%, but the entire globe. This election year’s political discourse must become about meeting the needs of the impoverished people.

Every motorist in Santa Clara County knows that Highway 101 is a difficult road to navigate. I am happy to announce that the last piece of funding puzzle has been secure to alleviate one of the largest bottlenecks in the County—the Highway 101 interchanges at Capitol and Yerba Buena! While the California Transportation Commission approved our original funding request of $24 million, they were hesitant to provide the additional $4.2 million needed to complete the project. We were so close to the finish line that I knew we could not let this hurdle stop us. Therefore I asked the Valley Transportation Authority to help. The VTA identified the needed $4.2 million within their budget. By securing the entire funding, our

As you know, I have been fighting to fix this bottleneck since I was elected to the San Jose City Council in 2000 and the fight has continued to my time on the County Board of Supervisors. I worked quickly with the VTA to come up with a plan wherein the City of San Jose would contribute funding for engineering studies of the proposed improvements. I was able to convince the City to hold aside $300,000 for the studies. This seed money started the ball rolling and the Highway 101 project became a rising star, skyrocketing to the number one priority for both the VTA and the City. In 2006, the voters of California passed Proposition 1B. This $19 billion bond included funds for highway improvements. Every transportation agency in the state began building their case for why they should get a portion of this funding. The agency

in charge of recommending which projects in Santa Clara County and the Bay Area gets funding is the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). As a member of MTC, I used this position to advocate for Santa Clara County projects – the Highway 101 project in particular. By working with the VTA and state elected officials, we were successful in securing the Prop. 1B funding for the first phase – the Tully Road interchange – that is under construction now and scheduled to be completed ahead of time and under budget. But we did not give up the fight. I continued to promote the rest of the project for additional funding. Now with this last piece of the funding secured, I am very relieved that this project will be completed so we can all enjoy a free flowing, safe commute along Highway 101. If you would like to know more about this project, please contact me at dave.cortese@bos.sccgov.org or 408-299-5030.

Staged Reading of PLACAS

Staring Ricardo Salinas of Culture Clash in MACLA’s Castellano Playhouse San José, CA

M ACL A /Mov i m ient o de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana will present PLACAS, a new bilingual production written by playwright Paul S. Flores that weaves together the story of three generations of a family who lived through the El Salvadoran civil war, their subsequent migration to the United States, and the resulting formation of immigrant gangs in California’s inner cities. PLACAS will be directed by Sean San José, Director of Theatre for San Francisco’s Intersection for the Arts,and will star Ricardo Salinas of Culture Clash. Additionally, this presentation will feature Cristina Frias, Ricky Saenz, Sarita Ocon, and Luis Santiago Juarez. PLACAS was developed as a pro-active community response to the issue of gang violence. The piece seeks to use the tools of professional drama to create a high quality performance that resonates with a theatre audience, but that is also carefully structured to encourage young people to avoid gang life, to offer an alternative to the public hysteria about Central American immigrants and to shed light on the geo-political realities that created gangs. The term placas is barrio slang: a code word for graffiti tags, a nickname or body tattoos. In street culture tattoos signify an individual member’s unswerving loyalty to the gang and also serve as a mechanism

Laser tattoo removal is a complicated and painful procedure that can take years to conclude. It is especially risky for ex-gang members, as their former comrades see it as betrayal and may target those who seek treatment. Because of this risk, gang prevention workers, police, probation officers, judges and case workers see tattoo removal as a serious and legitimate step gang members can take toward becoming inactive, and reintegrating into civil society.

As Fausto receives treatment he enters the laser room and directly addresses the audience to recall the meaning, memories and stories attached to each tattoo being burned off his skin. A red laser descends. The effect is to reawaken Faustus’ childhood experiences of the civil war in El Salvador and barrio warfare in California; the scenes of which are played out as dance, spoken word, video or acted out on-stage as a series of flashbacks.

Synopsis: After nine years ex-gang member FaustoCarbajal is released from prison. As a requirement of his parole he must remove the tattoos that mark him as a member of his gang. Wearied by what has been a lifetime of violence, Fausto sees a sliver of hope and accepts the terms. He is determined to reunite his family, traumatized by three decades of war, forced migrations and street crime. He returns to San Francisco to live with his mother, a war refugee, and harbors hopes of re-uniting with his expartner, Claudia and their now teenaged son, Edgar.

Fausto realizes that his son is in danger of being initiated into a rival gang when Edgar is arrested for carrying a gun to school and placed on probationary home arrest.Fausto tries to disuade him from joining a gang, but Edgar runs away. Fausto must find Edgar before the police do. As he weighs the cost of being a hero to his son, Fausto attempts to emerge from an old skin based on false truths and mangled socialization. The process of transformation is both physically and emotionally painful. But is it too late?

Fairgrounds names new executive director

Delana Romero Interim Executive Director San Jose, CA

With the announced retirement of longtime Executive Director Raymond Lueckeman, the board of the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds Management Corporation (SCCFMC) has elevated current Santa Clara County Fair Manager Delana Romero into the role of Interim Executive Director. The change in title reflects her new responsibility for operation of the entire 158 acre facility. SCCFMC Board President Mike Donohoe spoke

for the board when he noted the great progress made in the past two years as the facility has moved into profitability and increased community use. “I would really hate for us to lose any of the momentum we are now enjoying” he concluded. Board member Don Silacci agreed by observing “This past year has seen more progress than most of the years I have served on the board. We have a good team in place.” While Lueckeman will officially retire at the end of May he isn’t going far. “I have agreed to stick around for a few years to serve as a mentor to Delana and finish up some of the exciting projects we now have under way” he said. Romero will serve in an interim role through the end of 2013 with the board reserving the option of initiating a nationwide search for a permanent Executive Director.

Un congreso unido mantiene crecimiento económico Washington, D.C

El NCLR (Consejo Nacional de La Raza) aplaude al Congreso nacional por haber llegado a un acuerdo bipartidista para extender el recorte al impuesto sobre la nómina y las prestaciones por desempleo por el resto del 2012. Conjuntamente estas medidas estimularán la creación de nuevos puestos de trabajo y ayudarán a las familias en aprietos. Y en una victoria crucial para la comunidad hispana, los legisladores acordaron no incluir en el acuerdo la restricción al crédito tributario por hijos, que hubiera afectado gravemente a millones de familias traba-

jadoras latinas, y a sus hijos, que pagan impuestos. “En el Capitolio se escuchó un mensaje fuerte y claro que nuestra comunidad no tolerará que se utilice a los niños latinos para regatear en este amplio debate fiscal”, dijo Janet Murguía, presidenta y directora general del NCLR. “Nos anima ver a ambos partidos trabajar juntos para aprobar un paquete fiscal que pone más dinero en manos de los trabajadores y ayuda a estimular la creación de empleos, sin incluir provisiones perjudiciales”  El crédito tributario por hijos mantiene a millones de niños fuera de la pobreza. Dos mi-

llones de familias hispanas habrían perdido $1,800 al año por la restricción propuesta de este crédito. Estas familias ganan un promedio de $21,000 al año, y la ayuda del crédito tributario por hijos les ayuda a llevar comida a sus casas y tener un techo donde vivir. En el acuerdo final, no se incluyó esta injusta restricción.

The federal agencies that regulate America’s financial industry don’t come close to matching the nation’s diversity, a new study released by The Greenlining Institute shows. The report, “Government That Looks Like America? Racial and Eth-

of America’s workforce in 2010, they are not represented at anywhere near that level at the decisionmaking levels of financial regulatory agencies, particularly in executive management. Larger numbers of people of color are present in lower-level positions.

“These findings tell us that the Offices of Women and Minority Inclusion have their work cut out for them” nic Diversity in Financial Regulatory Institutions,” comes as the recently-created Offices of Women and Minority Inclusion are gearing up their operations and its authors argue that failure to include regulators from diverse backgrounds may cause these agencies to miss emerging trends. Key findings include: • Although people of color made up just over one third

• In all but one of 15 agencies that provided full data, people of color made up 20 percent or less of executive managers. • Three Federal Reserve Banks – Boston, Cleveland, and St. Louis – had not one person of color in executive management. • Four of the 15 agencies had zero African Americans in executive management, seven had zero Latinos and

nine had zero Asian Americans. Native Americans and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders were almost entirely missing. “These findings tell us that the Offices of Women and Minority Inclusion have their work cut out for them,” said co-author Divya Sundar, Greenlining Community Reinvestment fellow. “There is a lot of literature showing that diverse organizations are more attentive to the needs of diverse consumers. We know that during the housing bubble these regulatory agencies missed dangerous increases in predatory lending that surfaced first in communities of color, and you can’t help but wonder whether regulators from a wider variety of backgrounds might have seen the warning signals sooner.” The full report is available online: http://stage. greenlining.org/resources/ pdfs/OMWIforGIwebsite. pdf

Todo lo que se necesita saber sobre las vacunas Las vacunas son para personas de todas las edades, no solo para niños y personas de la tercera edad No es siempre fácil mantenerse al tanto de las vacunas, y menos cuando hay niños de diferentes edades en el hogar o personas de la tercera edad. Además, las necesidades de vacunarse podrían cambiar rápidamente con el brote de alguna enfermedad. Sin embargo, saber quién debe vacunarse, cuándo y dónde nunca había sido tan sencillo gracias al nuevo portal de vacunas del Gobierno federal, http://es.Vaccines. gov en español. “Las vacunas protegen a uno y también protegen a

Información útil sobre las vacunas El objetivo del portal es informar al público sobre todo lo relacionado a las vacunas, pero desde una perspectiva práctica y accesible al consumidor. Incluye, por ejemplo, información sobre los calendarios de vacunación, explicaciones sobre cómo funcionan las vacunas y recursos sobre qué vacunas

Además, en se puede: • Leer sobre la seguridad y efectividad de las vacunas • Aprender sobre las enfermedades que se pueden prevenir con las vacunas • Conocer los diferentes términos relacionados con las vacunas, incluyendo acrónimos y abreviaturas “Es un lugar en donde el público va a encontrar herramientas prácticas y fáciles de usar”, según AvilésMendoza. Quiénes deben vacunarse y cuándo Es un mito que las vacunas son solo para niños,

Parents Warned to Monitor Teens and Young Adults for “Bath Salts” Possession or Use Trying to keep up with the changing landscape of illicit drug manufacture and use is a daunting task for a drug education professional, much less a parent. But it is something that must be attempted if children and young adults are to be kept educated and safe from dangerous, even life-threatening drugs.

They may be named something like Red Dove, Purple, Cloud Nine, Lunar Wave or Pure Ivory. The packaging will state that it is “not for consumption” and that it is just for use in a “refreshing” bath. But smoke it, snort it or shoot it and you will get a hallucinogenic, dissociative high that can be dangerous, even fatal.

The psychoactive ingredient in Bath Salts may be Mephedrone , 3,4 methyl e n e d i ox y p y r o v a l e r on e (MDPV) or Methylone. In chemical composition and effect, these drugs mimic the action of khat, a plant-based drug grown in East Africa and frequently smuggled into Europe and North America.

One of the tactics used by unscrupulous drug manufacturers is to make a new formula that shifts the chemical composition of a banned drug just enough to circumvent the law. It takes awhile for law enforcement agencies to catch up and in the meantime, lives are threatened. Young people going to shops, parties or raves may be offered the new drug.

At its worst, the drugs in Bath Salts have resulted in extremely high fevers that can cause organ breakdown and death, suicide, homicide and a psychotic state that can only be subdued with a general anesthetic or powerful anti-psychotic drugs.

When talking about Bath Salts, parents can report the following results that have come from emergency room or police reports:

Which brings us to “Bath Salts.” These are off-white crystals sold in small bottles or foil packets at convenience stores and at raves or dance clubs around the country.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration has just used their authority to place a temporary national ban on the chemicals in the drug, giving legislators time to catch up with federal laws. But this action is just likely to drive dealers of the drug underground.

Extremely high fevers that can result in kidney failure and death. Psychotic episodes in which a person cannot even be subdued even by sedatives or Tasers.| Homicidal rages or hallucinations that cause a person to leap into traffic, injure someone or commit suicide. Mental confusion and disorientation lasting months.

mujeres embarazadas y personas de la tercera edad. De hecho, cada año miles y miles de adultos se vacunan contra enfermedades comunes como la influenza. Hay factores que podrían determinar si un adulto debe vacunarse, como la edad, estilo de vida, condición médica y planes de viaje de la persona. Los brotes de enfermedades también podrían ser una buena razón para inmunizarse. Docenas de personas murieron durante un brote de tos ferina en 2010, y la mayoría eran niños menores de un año que no podían recibir la vacuna porque eran demasiado pequeños. Por eso el Gobierno recomienda que los niños de 11 y 12 años re-

ciban la vacuna, y que todos los adultos también se vacunen contra la tos ferina y que además se refuercen con un booster cada 10 años. “La vacuna protege a la persona que la recibe, pero también a los que no pueden ser vacunados, como los niños o personas con sistemas inmunológicos débiles”, dijo Avilés-Mendoza. El portal tiene una sección que detalla quiénes se deben vacunar y cuándo. Dónde vacunarse Las vacunas están disponibles en muchos lugares, desde consultorios médicos y hospitales hasta farmacias, iglesias e incluso escuelas y universidades. Y muchos

seguros médicos cubren el costo de las vacunas. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando la persona no tiene seguro? El Gobierno federal subvenciona clínicas de salud comunitarias a lo largo del país que ofrecen vacunas a un costo bajo según los ingresos de la persona. El portal cuenta con un localizador que permite que la persona encuentre el centro de salud más cercano con solo poner el código postal. “Estas clínicas son muy buenas porque también ofrecen otros tipos de servicios como cuidado prenatal, dental y de salud mental”, dijo Avilés-Mendoza.

Estudiantes se unen para reformar el consejo directivo de la universidad estatal de california SACRAMENTO

El 22 de febrero, el Senador de California Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/San Mateo), la Asociación de Facultad de California y los estudiantes de la Universidad Estatal de California (CSU) anunciaron la legislación para reformar el Consejo Directivo de la Universidad Estatal de California, designando a 9 de los 25 miembros a estudiantes, profesores, o trabajadores parte del sistema de la Universidad.

Directivo lucha por sus ejecutivos, pero nunca luchan para los que en realidad hacen increíble al CSU – los estudiantes, la facultad y trabajadores,” dice Yee. “Por fin, el Consejo Directivo va dejar de ser un club exclusivo para los Californianos más ricos, en cambio ahora representara a la comunidad entera de CSU.”

La ley de Yee duplicaría el número de consejero de estudiante a cuatro y también aseguraría que por lo menos tres miembros de facultad y dos empleados que no sean parte de la facultad tomen parte del Consejo Directivo.

“El Consejo Directivo del CSU se ha aislado de la consecuencias reales de sus decisiones”, dijo el Presidente de CFA Lilliam Taiz, y un Profesor de Historia de la Universidad Estatal de Los Ángeles. “Necesitamos un Consejo Directivo que les den voz a los que están en las trincheras y los que saben lo que es ser estudiante, empleados o facultad en la CSU. La ley del Senador Yee es un paso significativo en esa dirección y suplicamos apoyo.”

“Durante mucho tiempo, hemos visto el Consejo

en los campus por todo el estado dice mucho acerca de las frustraciones de los estudiantes y su necesidad de ser escuchados,” dijo Sadaf Malik, un estudiante de Biología en su último año en la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco “Como constituyentes de estas Universidades, es nuestro derecho tener un asiento en la mesa y que la calidad de la educación superior sea protegida para todos los estudiantes actuales y los del futuro de California”. Conforme a la ley actual, 19 de los 25 fideicomisarios son nombrados por el Gobernador. Mientras la ley de Yee designaría nueve nombramientos a estudiantes, facultad, y trabajadores de la Universidad, el Gobernador continuaría nombrando 19 miembros. Además, la ley de Yee eliminaría conflictos de intereses, prohibiendo a los empleados del Consejo Directivo y el Rector de ser parte de cualquier subcomité que trata con la negociación colectiva. La ley de Yee viene después de varios años en lo que los Fideicomisarios les han aumentado la matrícula a los estudiantes mientras también aumentan las compensaciones de sus ejecutivos. El año pasado, cuando el Consejo Directivo de CSU aumento la matricula por 12 por ciento, también le concedieron al nuevo presidente de la Universidad Estatal de San Diego un salario de $400.000– $100.000 más que su predecesor. En respuesta, Yee ha introducido SB 967 para prohibir aumentos de sueldo a los ejecutivos de las Universidades durante años de crisis presupuestario o cuando la matrícula de los estudiantes tiene que ser aumentada. También, la ley establece que ejecutivos entrantes sólo puedan recibir el cinco por ciento más que sus predecesores.

Msgr. Francisco Rios, Bishop Patrick J. McGrath, Father Brendan McGuire at conclusion of dedication Mass. Our Lady of Refuge Church was dedicated Feb. 19 in a special trilingual (English, Spanish, Vietnamese) Mass at the Lucretia Ave. facility on the east side of San Jose. The church serves the newly created parish of Our Lady of Refuge which embraces a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic part of the city which has a dense population, largely in the Santee area of San Jose. At the dedication ceremony, Bishop Patrick J. McGrath blessed the building and officially opened its doors, followed by the entrance procession into the church. The newest parish in the Diocese of San Jose was announced in August 2011. It had been over a decade since a new parish had been established in the now 31-yearold Diocese of San Jose. St. Maria Goretti Parish has supported the Santee Mission for 20 years, with priests celebrating Masses in several loca-

as well as meeting rooms, offices and classrooms.

Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary have been instrumental in the mission work, namely Sisters Guadalupe Maria Johnston, Miriam Daniel Fahey, Catherine Mary Thoeni and the late Sister Martha Bendorf. Marianist Brother Paco Gomes was also an initiator of the Santee ministry.

The purchase was made possible by funds generated from the Capital Campaign and in the custody of the Catholic Foundation of Santa Clara County.

tions, R.F.

Some parts of Santee are predominantly Hispanic, but overall, Hispanics are 50 percent of the population, with 36 percent being Asian which include largely Vietnamese and Filipinos.

In addition, four parishes have become sponsors and all parishes in the diocese participated in the special fundraising drive last fall which provided some $2.6 million. Funds are still needed. To make a donation, visit www.dsj.org/ways-to-give/ our-lady-of-refuge-appeal.

The bishop formed a team which began working officially on July 1, 2011, with Father Brendan McGuire as administrator and Msgr. Francisco Rios as onsite pastoral minister.

Plans are to provide Masses in Spanish, Vietnamese and English. Beginning Sunday, February 26, 8 am Mass will be Vietnamese, 10 am Mass will be Spanish, and 12 noon Mass will be English.

The new parish already has facilities, purchased by the diocese. The spacious property consists of two buildings and a large parking lot. The buildings provide worship space

“We view Our Lady of Refuge as being a resource for the entire community,” Msgr. Rios said. “It will be in service to the community and attempt to meet many needs.”

El mundo está cambiando y los padres deben asegurarse de que sus hijos estén preparados para triunfar en una economía cada vez más globalizada, dicen los expertos. Los Estados Unidos es a menudo considerado como un crisol de culturas, un lugar para que personas de diferentes culturas se reúnan y crezcan con similitudes. Pero la verdad es que a nuestro alrededor hay una variedad de lenguaje, alimentos, prácticas religiosas y tradiciones culturales. “No debemos tratar de borrar las diferencias, sino que respetarlas, incluso celebrarlas”, dice Rajiv Malhotra, autor del nuevo libro, “Being Different: An Indian Challenge to Western Universalism” (HarperCollins Publishers). Malhotra cree que se puede mirar a la India como un ejemplo de una sociedad distinta que pacíficamente integra a muchas personas diversas. Junto a la lectura, escritura y aritmética, la diversidad cultural debe hacer parte del plan de estudios de los hijos. Pero no sólo fomentar la tolerancia, sino también ir un paso más allá. “La tolerancia es una actitud condescendiente”, dice

Malhotra, “Tenemos que aprender a respetar, y hasta apreciar y no simplemente tolerar las diferencias religiosas y culturales”. Estos son algunos consejos para enseñar a los niños a respetarse el uno al otro, para que se conviertan en ciudadanos del mundo: • La absorción de las matices de un segundo idioma es más fácil cuando se es joven, así que inscriba a sus hijos en una clase de idiomas a una edad temprana. Aún mejor, aprenda junto con ellos. • Prepare sus maletas y tome un viaje. Desempolve su pasaporte o quédese dentro del país. Incluso dentro de los Estados Unidos hay una gran oportunidad de estar expuestos a nuevas experiencias culturales. • Piense de manera diferente. Los intelectuales dicen que hay una diferencias fundamentales entre la visión del mundo occidental y la del mundo oriental. Personas de diferentes países tienen diferentes tradiciones, costumbres religiosas e historias que dan forma a su pensamiento. Aceptando la manera de ser de los demás significa abrir la mente a la idea de que existen diferentes enfoques para resolver los problemas que afectan nuestro mundo complejo.

• Lea un libro. No se necesita ser un trotamundos para aprender sobre otras culturas. Su bibliotecario local puede ayudarle a encontrar libros apropiados para que a los niños se les den a conocer otras culturas y les permitan explorarlas profundamente. Por ejemplo, India tiene una rica historia y cultura que va más allá del adoptar la tradición occidental de las comidas condimentadas, el yoga y la meditación. • Fomente las amistades. Inscriba a sus hijos en actividades, campamentos y programas que fomentan las relaciones con niños de todas las creencias religiosas, de todas las razas y niveles económicos. • Aborde un diálogo sustantivo con los demás que explore nuevas ideas sobre el mundo más allá de las suyas. “Cuestione sus valores y esté abierto a ver el mérito en las ideas de los demás”, sugiere Malhotra, el creador de la Fundación, Infinity Foundation to encourage better East-West relations. • Organice una cena. Invite a sus amigos y pídale que traigan comidas típicas de su país. Usted se dará cuenta de que su círculo de amigos ¡es más culturalmente diverso de lo que pensaba!

Mamas Latinas: first website targeted to Latina mothers

Veronica Taylor-Ramirez El Observador

MamasLatinas, an online bilingual community website launched January 26, 2011 to become the first website of its kind aimed at Latina mothers. The idea for MamasLatinas, came from the parent site, CafeMom. Launched in 2006, CafeMom is the number one online destination for mothers, receiving 9 million visitors per day.

Sponsors for CaféMom inquired about creating a website targeting Latina mothers. CaféMom has an established community of Latina mothers due to a user created group. “92 percent of Hispanic moms said no website clearly served them culturally,” said Co-Founder and Executive Director of MamasLatinas Lucia Ballas-Traynor. “Everything we do is powered by a community of moms.”

After registering for the website, users can join up to 25 different groups to connect with other mothers. The website also features a variety of topics from health, parenting and entertainment. There are also featured columns from established Latina celebrities and writers. One of the most popular aspects of the website are the challenges. The mothers are given different assign-

ments to complete and they must post their experiences. Earlier this month, the mothers were given a “Love Challenge.” Assignments included posting ten positive characteristics about their spouse and posting the most common household arguments. The next challenge is aimed toward health and fitness. For one month, users will be asked to do something to change their

lifestyle such as drinking water or exercising for 15 minutes. The website will offer prizes to its users.

it becomes the advertisement,” said Ballas-Traynor. “Moms share experiences with different products.”

Mama sL atina s take a different approach with sponsors.

In the future, Latinamoms will include games and mobile access.

General Motors delivered five cars to mothers that are active on the website. The mothers drove the cars for a week and shared their experiences online.

The website registers 300 users per day.

“We take the best material that moms make and

“What is amazing is the engagement,” said BallasTraynor. “I hope we can attract millions of moms everyday that are looking to make those friendships.”

Gould plays Burt Dorfman, Deb Dorfman’s (Sara Rue) father, in this romantic comedy, directed by Palo Alto native, Brad Leong

Elliott Gould’s story began in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of 8, while enrolled in The Professional Children’s School of Manhattan, he began appearing in local television programs as well as commercials. After hoofing his way into the chorus of a few stage shows, his big break came when he was cast as the lead of the Broadway play, I Can Get It For You Wholesale, which also featured a then unknown singer named Barbra Streisand. They married some time later and had a son, Jason.    In 1965, Elliott made his film debut in William Deterle’s Quick, Let’s Get Married, after which came a role in The Night They Raided Minsky’s. His breakout performance came in 1969, where he played Ted in Paul Mazursky’s Zeitgeist film

Following his huge contribution to 70s filmmaking, the next couple of decades found him in television, once again creating provocative characters like Dr. Howard Sheinfeld on the much-underrated sitcom E/R or in TV movies such as The Rules of Marriage and Vanishing Act.    His triumphant return to film in Barry Levinson’s gangster epic Bugsy (1991), once again proved Gould’s artistic resilience and versatility and led to brilliant turns in Charles Burnett’s

St. Patrick’s Day Is Coming

SPM Wire

As the nation celebrates this St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th with frothy pints of Guinness, many will raise glasses to recognize the hallowed patron saint of Ireland (who is actually British!). While those glasses are raised, consider cheering a few other Irishmen who made contributions to the world. Did you know an Irishman, John Philip Holland, invented the submarine? Color photography was invented by Ireland’s John Joly. And guided missiles, the modern tractor, and even a cure for Leprosy were all invented by Irishmen. So as you search for that elusive four leaf clover, remember that Ireland has given us much more than just good beer!

Héctor Miguel Herrera, de Pachuca, y Alan Pulido, de Tigres de la UANL, son las novedades en la segunda lista de la Selección Mexicana Preolímpica dada a conocer por el técnico Luis Fernando Tena.

Entre sus planes contempla la tercera pelea contra la tijuanense Jackie Nava después de las dos “guerras” que sostuvieron en el 2011 y en al que obtuvo la mexiquense el Cinturón Diamante en peso gallo del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo. El presidente del CMB, José Sulaimán, opinó que Ana María Torres es la mejor peleadora en la historia del CMB con 10 defensas y 14 combates titulares, en un récord como lo ostenta en boxeo varonil el legendario Julio César Chávez con 37 desafíos de título mundial.

Para Herrera López, quien nació el 19 de abril de 1990 en Tijuana, es el primer llamado a esta selección como consecuencia de la buena campaña que tiene con el primer equipo de Tuzos. Pulido no es novedad en Selecciones Nacionales porque ha sido parte de tricolores juveniles y su última participación fue en la Copa del Mundo Sub 20 Colombia 2011, donde el equipo dirigido por Juan Carlos Chávez quedó en tercer lugar.

Fans of the cult film Napoleon Dynamite have been wanting more of Napoleon and his friends for several years now. They got their wish earlier this year with the premiere of the Napoleon Dynamite cartoon on Fox. One of the films more iconic characters was “Pedro”, who was played by Efren Ramirez.
