Empleados de hotel piden contrato razonable

Cientos de empleados del hotel DoubleTree fueron parte de una huelga de cuatro días.

Cinthia Rodríguez El Observador

Cientos de trabajadores de hotel participaron en una huelga de cuatro días en el DoubleTree, localizado cerca del aeropuerto de San José.

Empezando la madrugada de lunes, algunos de ellos simplemente salieron en horas de trabajo a la protesta.

Esta huelga es la primera en 30 años en la industria de hoteles. El DoubleTree es propiedad de Hilton, que es parte de Blackstone, una compañía que ganó mil millones en ganancias en los últimos 6 meses, y recientemente ha adquirido otra cadena hotelera - Motel 6. Un trabajador típico en el DoubleTree gana $ 12.80 por hora.

“Estamos en huelga porque queremos un mejor contrato. Necesitamos nuestro seguro de salud, mejores salarios, y la oportunidad de promoción “, dijo Angeles Wilma, quien trabaja en servicio de habitaciones por ya siete años para DoubleTree.

Wilma inmigro de las Filipinas. Se da cuenta de que su vida es mejor pero también sabe que ella puede luchar por un mejor contrato para una vida mejor aun. No podría pagar el seguro de salud de su pro-

pio bolsillo porque apenas le alcanza para las fracturas y comida. Ella no es la única que se siente así.

“Yo no quería participar en esta huelga, yo nunca he andado en esto pero no hay otra manera de que ellos acepten”, dijo Adela Sandoval, quien ha sido limpiadora de cuartos por cinco años. “Cuando han hecho negociaciones ponen un contrato para su conveniencia (DoubleTree), y para nosotros nada, que porque gastan mucho dinero, si tienen dinerales”.

Sandoval tiene tres hijas que usan su seguro de salud cuando se enferman.

Como su colega, no podría pagar un seguro de su propio bolsillo especialmente con su sueldo. Ella cumple con su trabajo y siente que no es valorada.

“Estoy tratando de ahorrar para comprar una casa para mi familia y yo no creo que yo sería capaz de hacer eso si aceptamos el contrato que se proponen”, dijo Joshua Coffman, conductor por siete años.

De acuerdo con los empleados, el hotel quiere congelar los salarios por cinco años. Después, se tendrá en cuenta un aumento de 15 centavos. El hotel quie-

re descontinuar la ayuda con el seguro de salud.

“No aceptan las propuestas que uno les hace de aumentar el sueldo, de contribuir a nuestro retiro, que respeten y valoren al trabajador, al contrario nos quieren quitar el seguro medico”, dijo Sandoval.

Los trabajadores solo quieren que sepan que deben ser respetados por el trabajo que hacen. Quieren que sean razonables y se pongan en sus zapatos, con su salario y todos los sacrificios que deben de hacer para sobrevivir. “uno cumple con el trabajó cuando ellos lo solicitan y para el viernes vamos a regresar a trabajar.

“Estos trabajadores son el corazón y el alma de el hotel”, dijo Calvin Miaw, con Unite Here. “Las personas que hacen que este hotel corra todos los días”.

Los trabajadores han vuelto a trabajar con la esperanza que la huelga haya enviado un mensaje lo suficientemente fuerte para que el hotel tenga una actitud mas razonable.

OPINION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

DODGING IMPORTANT ELECTION ISSUES Dodging the important election issues is a campaign strategic effort which is highly developed. Locally, residents of the City of San Jose passed Measure B (Pension Reform) which is needed because prior city councils were not willing to make economic decisions.

Retirement contracts were not fully defined by having an actuarial analysis performed. Today these undefined retirement agreements, if not resolved, will eventually bankrupt the City of San Jose. The present situation is one wherein not everyone will accept any proposed resolution. Prior administrations and City Councils did not do their job. In the future, the Mayor and City council members must fully define the fiscal obligations of any and all contracts prior to any approval and endorsement actions.

The American voter needs to understand that since 1975, the average annual income of a typical middle class wage earner has remained at the same level. Corporate executive planners have not addressed their responsibility to ‘maintain the American middle class wage-earner.”

Their aggregate actions have resulted in the current situation where 1% are the very influential wealthy and 99% are those who are struggling to make ends meet in this recessionary economy. The Obama Administration has no constitutional authority to tell those corporate executive and business planners what to do to improve the middle class wage earning current status. America has developed a capitalistic market economy which is the envy of the world. But notice who is destroying it with their focus on only profits. A better economic equilibrium is required.

But while this American capitalistic economy has the ability to create great

wealth, it fails in its ability to distribute that wealth in a manner that is fair and equitable. President Obama is visionary in declaring that America needs to do business on a ‘level competitive playing field’. This is a very important public policy matter which is being dodged during this Presidential election year 2012.

Let’s review important public policy issues which are not being adequately addressed by both the Republicans and Democratic parties: 1) The Affordable Care Act (also known as “ObamaCare”). The health care industry, including its durable medical goods, prescription medications, medical instrumentation, and health care insurances now account for 19% of the GDP (gross national product). A public/private accommodation is required if everyone is to have access to health care. The poor and handicapped currently do not get what is needed and possible.

2) A comprehensive tax reform which adjusts all entitlements, both personal and corporate, is required.

The national debt cannot be reduced without some tax increases. The IRS Tax Code is as broken as the national immigration policy.

3) Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Too many undocumented residents are being exploited in their present situations. At the minimum, the American Dream Act needs to be passed as a bipartisan effort. If a federal comprehensive immigration policy could be established by Congress, then much effort at the state level would

4) Global Climate issues. Denial is not a coping method. Polar ice and glaciers are melting down; the ocean’s sea level may rise 15 feet. By not developing civic and corporate facilities on lowlands, there will be no need to build dikes and levees which fail. Example: New Orleans and Katrina Hurricane.

5) Development of unique to America diverse clean energy source mix that eliminates dependence on foreign crude oil.

6) Environmental conservation efforts. Reliable potable water and clean air are essential.

7) Deal with Social Security Administration funding matters.

8) Establish a national fiscal policy which is fair and effective. Those Wall Street/big bank casinos must be regulated. 9) Establish an effective national housing policy which protects the home buyer as well as are banks, brokers, real estate agents, and lenders in current mortgage contracts.

10) A national policy on education is needed.

Finally, the American Voter must take into account the source of information presented on mainstream media. If presented by a super-PAC, that information is very likely to be synthesized propaganda and should be totally ignored. This is a major election issue that needs to be corrected since corporations have ‘tilted’ electioneering in their favor with massive amounts of money.

Using electronic communications methods, let’s begin demanding that the candidates for elected office begin to debate substantive issues.

Saliendo del pozo de la adicción

Luisa Fernanda Montero La Red Hispana

Yo he estado ahí, yo sé lo que es ver como alguien que amamos se hunde en el camino de la dependencia, del alcoholismo o la drogadicción.

Yo sé lo que es vivir con esa barrera invisible que nos impide ayudar al ser querido. Yo sé que esa barrera solo puede romperla el enfermo.

Solo la persona que es víctima de la adicción puede decidir cuando sacarla de su vida. Su deseo de hacerlo es el único motor capaz de impulsar su recuperación.

En el camino, después de estar determinado a salir de la adicción y buscar ayuda, son indispensables las manos amigas. Su entorno es determinante. ¿Qué podemos hacer para ayudar al enfermo?

Porque eso es lo primero, entender que el alcohólico es un enfermo, igual que el drogadicto o el fumador.

El alcoholismo está definido como una condición en la que el enfermo padece una

fuerte necesidad de ingerir alcohol, de forma que existe una dependencia física del mismo, que se manifiesta a través de determinados síntomas de abstinencia cuando no es posible su ingesta.

El alcohólico no tiene control sobre los límites de su consumo y suele ir elevando a lo largo del tiempo su grado de tolerancia al alcohol.

Una vez que el enfermo entienda que lo está, lo más indicado es buscar ayuda profesional. Ese proceso, debe darse de común acuerdo con el enfermo.

Es muy posible que en el proceso, incluso después de que el enfermo acepte su situación, haya varias recaídas. El apoyo del entorno familiar y social en esos momentos es fundamental. Por eso la ayuda profesional es prioritaria.

Un psicólogo o terapista experto es la persona indicada para ayudarnos en el proceso de recuperación.

Los Alcohólicos Anónimos que cuentan con sedes en todo el mundo constituyen una magnifica posibilidad.

OCURRIELCIAS

Ellos pueden ayudar porque han estado allí. Saben qué es lo que está pasando en el cuerpo y en la mente del enfermo y saben qué es lo que necesita. Pero existen diversas alternativas clínicas y psicológicas. El camino a seguir dependerá siempre de la situación del paciente. En muchos casos este necesitará pasar por un proceso de desintoxicación o ser hospitalizado.

Los gobiernos locales y el gobierno federal tienen recursos para ayudar a las personas con algún tipo de adición. Si necesita información puede acudir al Centro Nacional de Información sobre la Salud Mental - SAMHSA - . Visite www. mentalhealth.samsha.gov o llame al 800 789 2647.

También puede visitar la página de alcohólicos anónimos www.aa.org para encontrar una sede en su área.

Le aseguro que hay pocas cosas más gratificantes que ver a un ser querido salir del pozo de la adicción.

No desista. Busque ayuda.

National Park Service Releases Publication on Role of Hispanics in Civil War ATLANTA

As part of the commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, the National Park Service recently released a publication, “Hispanics and the Civil War: From Battlefield to Homefront,” that tells the story of the roles played by Hispanics on both sides of the conflict.

Southeast Regional Director David Vela. “Hispanic citizens and immigrants alike fought on land and sea in every theater of the war — particularly in the Southwest in lands steeped in Hispanic heritage.”

The publication is one of a series that tells of the contributions of various ethnic groups. The National Park Service and one of its cooperating associations, Eastern National, began this effort by developing a number of publications that describe the roles and perspectives of African Americans on the Civil War.

“Hispanics and the Civil War: From Battlefield to Homefront” explores the lives of Hispanics from the bayous of the Gulf, to the cities of the North, to the vast deserts of the Southwest, and those from distant shores who were swept into the conflict that severed the nation in 1861. It examines the many and varied motives of the 20,000 Hispanics who chose to fight, as well as the countless civilians who lent their hearts and hands on the homefront.

“The nationwide multiyear observance of the Civil War is an opportunity to remind millions of Americans of all backgrounds of their ancestors’ participation in the Civil War,” said

Forty pages long and richly illustrated, this publication is a compelling way for Hispanic Americans to learn that the Civil War is their story, too, and for all Americans to discover the

little known but extremely significant contributions Hispanics made at a defining moment in U.S. history.

“Through this publication, Hispanic Americans will learn and be inspired by the stories and achievements of their ancestors who fought and struggled for a more perfect union,” Vela said. “The Civil War is shared by all Americans.

Hispanics can be proud of their history and legacy during one of our nation’s most defining moments.”

The full-color publication was produced with the assistance of superintendents, historians, park staff, Washington and regional program offices throughout the National Park Service. It was designed by Graphic Works Inc. of Atlanta, Ga., and is available through the National Park Service cooperating association, Eastern National, at http://www.eparks.com

DMV Announces New Report on DUI in California Sacramento

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced that its annual report highlighting a wide range of information on Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in California, from arrests, convictions, court sanctions, and fatalities in alcohol and drug related crashes is now available online.

The 2012 California DUI Management Information System (DUI-MIS) report tracks the processing of offenders through the DUI system from the point of arrest through conviction and license control actions.

Among the Report’s key

findings: • Alcohol/drug-involved crash fatalities decreased by 15.2% in 2010 • 195,879 people were arrested for DUI in 2010 • The median age of a DUI arrestee in 2010 was 30 years • 77.2% of 2009 DUI arrests resulted in convictions • The greatest number in DUI fatalities in crashes remains alcohol related, but drug involved fatalities rose by 63% during the past decade The report found when drugs are involved in fatal crashes the number of fatal-

ities rose from 428 in 2000 to 696 in 2010. A total of 1,416 people were killed in crashes in 2010 in which alcohol and/or drugs were involved.

The report also found that the number of drivers between the ages of 18 and 20 involved in alcohol related fatal and injury crashes increased from years 1999 to 2009. But it did show that the number of drivers under age 18 involved in the same types of crashes decreased over the decade.

The annual DUI-MIS data system and report has led to numerous improvements in the California DUI system.

San Jose Mayor releases June budget message San Jose, Ca

Mayor Chuck Reed has released his June Budget Message, outlining his final recommendations for the City of San Jose’s FY 201213 budget.

This includes: • Opening the City’s four newly-constructed libraries (Bascom, Calabazas, Seven Trees, Educational Park) and the new Bascom Community Center, all of which have remained closed due to recent budget deficits.

• Allocating $2 million in additional funding for gang prevention programs.

• Investing additional

money for street repair for the city’s most heavily-used roads.

• Addressing some critical operational and infrastructure needs.

• Setting aside some of the surplus funds to address future projected deficits.

Mayor Reed’s June Budget Message also recommends a few final adjustments to the City Manager’s proposed budget, such as allocating additional funding (mostly one-time funds) for senior transportation, crossing guards, traffic safety, and homeless encampment clean-ups, and authorizing new park development for

parks with limited ongoing maintenance costs.

“Due to the City Council’s ability to make some very tough decisions over the past few years, we will be able to do some positive things in this year’s budget,” said Mayor Reed. “However, this is only a one-year reprieve, and we must be restrained in our temptation to restore additional services with ongoing costs until we gain control over our rapidly-growing personnel costs.”

Despite the modest improvement, San Jose’s fiscal situation remains tenuous. The City Manager has projected a $22.5 million

deficit in FY 2013-14, primarily due to an expected increase in retirement costs.

In addition, the City has approximately $100 million in annual road and infrastructure maintenance needs that have not been funded, and the City Manager has estimated that it would cost $33 million annually just to restore key services to January 2011 levels.

“These ongoing challenges underscore why we must continue implementing our Fiscal Reform Plan,” cautioned Mayor Reed. “While difficult, these reforms are absolutely necessary to maintain the services we’re funding this year, restore

Sunnyvale building permit activity breaks all-time record SUNNYVALE, Ca

Construction activity in Sunnyvale has significantly increased in the past 18 months. Development activity is led by new office and R&D construction, both new building construction and tenant improvements. Residential development is also experiencing a resurgence of interest.

Building permits have exceeded Sunnyvale’s alltime historic record, as close to $14 million in building fees and construction taxes have been collected in this fiscal year to date. This exceeds the previous record in FY 2007/08, just prior to the economic downturn, when approximately $13.8 million was collected. These fees are collected at the time building permits are issued. Whereas much of the construction is currently underway, construction activity will further intensify

in FY 2012/13. Additionally, several major projects are undergoing plan check reviews and are anticipated to receive building permits in the next several months.

Consejos para graduados de secundaria

NAPSI

La escuela puede estar fuera del camino si fuiste parte de una graduación de la secundaria, pero eso no significa que no tienes tareas. Estos son algunos consejos que le ayudarán a navegar por las nuevas responsabilidades en su vida: • Hable de sus metas profesionales con los consejeros de un colegio, maestros y familiares y pide consejos.

If you’re a new college or high school graduate, you may have been told by older relatives that the best way to launch your career is to get a decent job and stick with it. But many experts today warn that the expectation of relying on one company to employ you until you retire is no longer realistic.

“The traditional path that worked for your grandparents is not necessarily viable anymore,” says Larry Winters, founder and president of Leadership Team Development, Inc., a company that provides business support materials for Amway business owners in North America.

As the author of the new book “Live the Dream – No More Excuses,” Winters believes that with the right attitude and a solid plan, you can take control of your financial destiny. He offers these tips for new graduates inspired to make this commitment: • Taking control of your financial future and career starts when you decide to dive into your opportunity headfirst. Be confident. You can’t win with a mind cluttered with constant doubt.

• Excuses are easy to make and will only serve to help you avoid doing what’s right. Stop making them!

• The only real security

in today’s economic climate of outsourcing and downsizing is the ability to perform. Gain a practical skill set and become invaluable.

• Spend time every day reading something to develop your personal growth. Expand your mind with the most positive, optimistic, ethical, inspiring material possible.

• Surround yourself with people who will help you keep a positive and motivated outlook. Don’t allow friends with a “can’t do” attitude to bring you down. Naysayers are a dime a dozen.

• The world teaches short-term thinking, but success doesn’t jump up and attack you. True success is a designed, programmed event. Be it the field of merchandise or medicine, create a plan and follow it.

• Don’t give up when you fall. Just get back up and move forward. Failures and setbacks are all part of the growing experience.

More information on achieving entrepreneurial success in an uncertain economy can be found at www. whoislar r y w inters.com.

As you make your way into the “real world,” consider harnessing your time, energy and talent into an independent career. It won’t be easy, but success rarely comes without effort .

• Recopilar información sobre las carreras que le interesan. Hable con las personas que trabajan en esas ocupaciones y descubre lo que se necesita para tener éxito.

CA Hospitals Penalized for Their Mistakes Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

The California Department of Public Health has announced that 13 California hospitals have been issued administrative penalties, which are given to hospitals for noncompliance with licensing requirements that have caused, or were likely to cause, serious injury or death to patients.

“The hospitals were penalized because we want them to improve the quality of the service they provide their patients,” said Debby Rogers, Deputy Director of the Center for Health Care Quality, California Department of Public Health.

“These hospitals need to fix these inefficiencies so that injury and death can be prevented. We want hospitals to prevent problems such as virus infections and surgical errors.”

Hospitals in the following counties were found to be in noncompliance: Alameda, Fresno, Humboldt, Los Angeles, Or-

ange, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, San Joaquin and Santa Clara.

“Hospitals will receive a $25,000 penalty for their first violation, $50,000 for their second violation, $75,000 for their third violation and $100,000 for the fourth violation,” Rogers said. “The hospitals must then submit a plan on how it will fix the problem that caused the violation so that it does not happen again.”

The hospitals in the Bay Area that were penalized were: -Chinese Hospital, San Francisco, and San Francisco County: the hospital failed to implement its established policies and procedures for feeding tube insertion. The penalty of $50,000 is the hospital’s first administrative penalty.

-Kaiser Foundation Hospital – Oakland/Richmond, Oakland, Alameda County: the hospital failed to ensure the health and safety of a patient when it did not follow established policies

and procedures relating to their cardiac paging system.

The penalty of $75,000 is the hospital’s second administrative penalty.

-Kaiser Foundation Hospital – San Francisco, San Francisco, and San Francisco County: the hospital failed to ensure the health and safety of a patient when it did not follow surgical policies and procedures. This resulted in a patient having to undergo another surgery to remove a retained foreign object. The penalty of $75,000 is the hospital’s second administrative penalty.

-Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, San Jose, and Santa Clara County: the hospital failed to ensure the health and safety of a patient when it did not provide ongoing assessment of a patient. The penalty of $75,000 is the hospital’s second administrative penalty.

“A patient’s safety is the hospital’s number one responsibility,” Rogers said. “Families should not have to suffer from hospital’s mistakes.”

Encuestas continúan demostrando apoyo a los derechos reproductivos New York, NY

Los resultados publicados la semana pasada en la encuesta realizada por Gallup sobre los Valores Creencias, siguen demostrando que el uso de métodos anticonceptivos entre las mujeres, incluyendo a las Latinas, es aceptado ampliamente.

La encuesta demostró que el 82 por ciento de los católicos y el 90 por ciento de los no católicos, concuerdan en que el control de la natalidad es moralmente aceptable. Esta misma encuesta continúa demostrando el apoyo para que el aborto siga siendo legal, haciendo eco sobre

los resultados similares de una encuesta realizada por el Instituto Nacional de Latinas para la Salud Reproductiva (INLSR) en el 2011, y basada en latinos registrados para votar.

La encuesta, demuestra que la terminología politizada de “pro elección” frente a “pro vida” no refleja completamente los valores matizados y puntos de vista del público, incluyendo a los latinos. La encuesta muestra que a pesar de los cambios en el número de personas que se describen a sí mismos como “pro vida” o “pro elección” en los Estados Unidos, el apoyo al aborto legal se ha mantenido es-

table, y ha incrementado un poco del 2011 al 2012.

Contrario a las creencias convencionales sobre la actitud de los latinos con respecto al aborto, la encuesta realizada por el INLSR demostró que el 68 por ciento de los encuestados están de acuerdo con la declaración que “en cuanto a la ley se trata, yo creo que (el aborto) debería seguir siendo legal”.

“Sabemos que los latinos apoyan el derecho de la mujer de tomar decisiones personales, decisiones privadas acerca del aborto sin que la política interfiera, por lo tanto estos resultados no son sorprendentes” dijo Jessica González-Rojas, direc-

tora ejecutiva del INLSR. Métodos para el control de natalidad son utilizados ampliamente entre las

mujeres Americanas, incluyendo a las Latinas. De acuerdo a los Centros de Control y Prevención de En-

fermedades, el 97 por ciento de las Latinas que han tenido relaciones sexuales han usado anticonceptivos.

Transit of Venus Explained

During a special ceremony to honor the sun, several drummers perfomed along with dancers.

Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

When Venus passes directly between earth and the sun, the distant planet appears as a small dot gliding slowly across the face of the sun. Historically, this rare alignment is how we measure the size of our solar system. The view is like a front row seat to the transit method, by which we now find planets around distant stars.

Some see the event coinciding with the Mayan calendar and it’s doomsday prophecy in 2012.

Corina Cihuachimalli Herrera of the Calpulli Tonalehqueh of San Jose Aztec group believes that the Venus Transit is a sign of hope rather than catastro-

phe. On June 5, Calpulli Tonalehqueh, along with many other Aztec Communities in the U.S. and Mexico conducted ceremonies in observance of the transit of Venus across the sun.

“The celebration has been taking place today from 3 pm to 9 pm,” Herrera said. “This celebration is one of clean slate and a chance to start over, a time to release all the negative energy around us and embrace the positive.”

“People are making a big deal about the year 2012 and how the world will end and all this other nonsense,” Herrera added. “We want people to think of this year as a time for a positive change in their lives.”

Calpulli

Tonalehqueh

held their ceremony in the Mi Pueblo parking lot on Story and King in East San Jose.

“We do a lot of work with Mi Pueblo and have held some other events in this parking lot,” Herrera said. “In fact, our office is in the same building. So our working relationship is a strong one.”

Herrera added that East San Jose is the center of Latin culture of San Jose and that it was important for young Latinos to know about their Aztec roots.

“Some of these kids get involved with gangs and get into trouble,” Herrera said. “We want them to learn about their heritage and allow positive energy in their lives so that they can succeed.”

Upcoming major astronomical events According to Calpulli Tonalehqueh, there is still a series of five major events that will occur this year. They are as follows: June 20—This solstice marks the Tropic of Cancer at the midpoint of its 26,000year cycle of the tropics.

July 3—Earth will be at her farthest distance from the sun. After that day she will gradually begin moving closer to the sun, until this position becomes the start of Winter rather than Summer.

August 13—Cahill Tamoanchan, the watering of the tree of Life, which marks the 5,125th anniversary (and end) of the Tlayolcayotl.

December 21—Day: winter solstice, the Sun aligns to the universal womb, solstice marking the Tropic of Capricorn at its midpoint of a 26,000 year cycle, also called precession.

December 21–Night: Xinachtli (Pleaides) crowning Mixcoatl (Milky Way) and then becoming the Cloudsnake’s rattle.

Santa Clara County Library Launches 2012 Summer Reading Program

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA

By popular demand, the Santa Clara County Library annual Summer Reading Program is back.

This family and community service, available to all Santa Clara County Library District users, seeks to promote literacy and to foster a love of reading.

“Often adults who care for children worry about how to occupy them in productive, yet economically reasonable activities during the summer recess”,

said Supervisor George Shirakawa, President, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. “This reading program is very popular because it is accessible and its benefits are tangible.

We develop our minds and our literacy skills every time we read a good book.”

“The love of reading is not necessarily something that we are born with,” said County of Santa Clara Supervisor Mike Wasserman, Delegate for the County Library District Joint Powers Authority. “This is a great

opportunity for parents to expose their children to the wonderful world of reading, which can easily lead to a lifetime of learning.”

Santa Clara County Library invites readers of all ages to participate in the Library Summer Reading Program by signing up online and reading or listening to books. Participation in the Summer Reading Program is not limited to people that hold library cards. Community members can sign up online, and keep track of what

“The Summer reading Program benefits everyone,” said Delegate for the County of Santa Clara Supervisor Liz Kniss, County Library District Joint Powers Authority. “Besides ensuring that students are more adequately prepared for the upcoming school year, we are helping create opportunities to motivate teens to read and discuss literature.”

The Santa Clara Summer Reading program will take place from June 1—August 31. Last year alone, 6,334 children, 1,342 teenagers, and 572 adults participated.

“Studies have shown that children who participate in summer reading programs returned to school ready to learn and with improved reading skills,” said Gail Mason, Library Services Manager, Collection Development and Reading Services.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) announced the acquisition of noted artist Robert Arneson’s Portrait of George (Moscone), 1981, a large-scale commemorative bust of former San Francisco Mayor George Moscone that incited great controversy when first commissioned and unveiled by

the city more than 30 years ago. One of the most powerful works of political art ever created in the Bay Area, Portrait of George (Moscone) represents an important moment in the city’s cultural and social history and is ready to view at SFMOMA, as part of an entire gallery devoted to Arneson’s work.

Does the shoe fit?

they sit their thongs show.

Chicas, showing your thong every time you sit is not sexy; it sends the wrong message and makes people lose their appetite.

Daisy dukes that are two, or ten, sizes too small should also go on the list of trends that need to go away.

Let’s clarify something; I don’t have anything against daisy dukes, as long as they fit properly. I do, however, have a problem with women wearing super tight, super short shorts. Come on ladies the camel toe is not in style.

There are some shoe trends that need to go away and never come back.

Juan Carlos Miranda Special to El Observador

Over the past few weeks we have established the fact that trends come and go and only those that are really cool make a comeback. Remember bellbottoms and harem pants?

Regardless of what many of my friends would say, I don’t always jump at the idea of wearing the latest trend to hit the fashion block. Maybe it’s because of my age, or maybe it’s because I have a little bit of brains to know what looks good on me—even though half the time I’m so dumb I think it looks good when it doesn’t—but at the end I always end up trying it at least once. You know what they say, “don’t knock it until you try it” (wink, wink).

However, there are some trends that definitely need to go away and never come back; kind of like your UGGs. And I’m sorry if you own a pair because

they are oh so comfortable, but they are the fugliest shoes to hit the market right after CROCS. Seriously people, get it together!

There is no acceptable excuse for wearing shapeless, ugly-looking boots unless you want to look like you have hooves instead of feet. And crocs only look cute on babies and little kids but not on grownups.

I’m so sorry if you are the proud owner of any of these items and you’re an adult, but you are just hopeless.

Just like your UGGs, another trend that needs to go away is sagging pants for men and super low rise jeans for women. I find it completely disgusting when guys wear their pants so low you can see their butt cheeks munching on their boxer briefs (just thinking about it makes me want to barf); it is not cool or sexy.

To give you a little bit of history on sagging pants, the trend was adopted from the prison system where

Clogs are used worldwide and remain unchanged for centuries.

belts are not allowed to be worn because they could be used as a weapon. Sagging pants also have a sexual connotation, prisoners who wore their pants so low you could see part of their skin signified they were available for a sexual encounter.

Now some people say this is merely an urban legend but don’t be surprised if you’re walking down the street and some random guy asks if you’re available, just remember I warned you.

Women wearing pants really low is not considered sagging but I find it equally disgusting. I have seen many women wearing pants so low that when

I’m probably going to hit a nerve with this next one—like I haven’t done it already—but this next trend in shoes needs to disappear since yesterday.

I’m talking about pointy, fugly (with capital F) looking guarachero boots.

These boots are popular in dance clubs and within the new “tribal guarachero” dance craze and they also make clowns look normal.

All I have to say with this one is please, for the love of the fashion gods, make this stupid trend go away.

Bigger is not always better but I guess if you have to make up, for the lack there of in another department, then go for it but I don’t approve. Does the shoe, or should I say, boot fit?

Un apasionado grupo de hombres y mujeres decide arriesgarlo todo por su familia, su fe y el propio futuro de su país. El gene-

ral Gorostieta (Garcia) es un militar retirado que en un principio piensa que no hay nada personal en juego, mientras que él y su esposa (Longoria) ven cómo México entra en una violenta guerra civil. Sin embargo, el hombre que al comienzo dudaba sobre si unirse a la causa pronto se convertirá en el más inspirador y sacrificado líder de la resistencia.

Prometheus

En la tercera entrega de la multimillonaria franquicia “Madagascar”, Alex (Ben Stiller), Marty (Chris Rock), Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) y Melman (David Schwimmer) están decididos a regresar al zoológico del Central Park en Nueva York. Luego de dejar África atrás, se desvían un poco y aparecen, literalmente, en Europa… a la zaga de los

pingüinos y chimpancés que lograron hacer saltar la banca de un casino en Montecarlo. Al poco tiempo, los animales son descubiertos por una oficial francesa de control animal muy obstinada, Capitaine Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand), a quien no le entusiasma nada la idea de ver animales del zoológico andando desenfrenados por

su ciudad y está encantada con la posibilidad de ¡cazar su primer león! Los animales del zoológico encuentran la pantalla perfecta para esconderse en un circo rodante venido a menos, donde traman un plan para reinventar el espectáculo, descubren un par de nuevos talentos y logran volver a Nueva York con vida.

Lenhart’s Late Goal Sends Earthquakes Through to U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals Stanford, Ca

The San Jose Earthquakes continued their run in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 1-0 win against Minnesota Stars FC at Stanford’s Cagan Stadium.

With the win, the Earthquakes advanced to host a U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal on June 26 at Kezar Stadium against Se-

attle

Sounders

FC,

5-0.

This week it was Steven Lenhart providing the dramatic moment, heading home a cross from Steven Beitashour in the 85th minute.

Opening the second half, Ike Opara had a look on a corner kick in the 48th minute.

Chavez sent the ball in front of the frame and the lanky defender rose to nod a shot

on target, but VanOekel parried to keep the sides level.

San Jose kept the pressure on and again found a chance in front of goal in the 61st minute.

The win marks the eighth time in club history the Earthquakes have reached the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal round.

El E3 2012 UNA EXPOSICIÓN DE SORPRESAS Luis Alba El Observador

Esta semana es una de las mas informantes en cuanto a video juegos se refiere ya que, el Lunes y el Martes las empresas líderes en consolas de video juegos dieron a conocer su estrategia de este siguiente periodo del año .

Empecemos con la compañía que tomo ventaja de sus oponentes Nintendo los cuales tomaron por sorpresa a todos dando un avance de su próxima consola el Wii U en el cual lo que mas resalta es el Nintendo Network , el Wiiverse entre otros detalles, puesto que me dejaran usarlo de prueba por unos cuantos minutos en un lugar secreto.

Por su parte Microsoft

lanzo nuevas aplicaciones para su tienda contando ahora con canales como el de la NBA, NHL, NICKELOEON, y UNIVISIÓN. Al parecer los creadores del Xbox 360 no hicieron anuncios de ninguna consola lo cual me da alegría por que conseguiría quedarme con mi consola mas tiempo jajaja Sony por su parte tampoco anuncio nueva consola pero anuncio juegos nuevos como su clásico Big Little Planet, un juego que me llamo la atención se llama Beyond : Two Souls. Este juego me llama la atención por el corto con el que empieza una muchacha sentada en una estación de policía, ella no habla y el policía que esta a su lado le pregunta su

nombre su dirección si tiene familiares, y ella sin contestar solo lo ve a los ojos y de repente en de la mesa un vaso con agua sale volando, en ese momento un ejercito entra por ella y empinan las explosiones, por ultimo esta muchacha le dice al encargado del ejercito que no la persigan mas por que entonces matara a todos.

Ese fue uno de los juegos que me encanto y no se si saldrá para en todas las consolas.

Esta es la primer entrega de lo que fue el E3 de este año la semana que entra les platicare mas cosas que me llamaron la atención.

Get Better Gas Mileage With New Technology For the average car, installing quality spark plugs -- like Pulstar Pulse Plugs -- can make your vehicle perform better than new, mileage included.

New technology like fuel-efficient spark plugs will save you money on gas.

NewsUSA

Gas prices are getting as dangerously high as unemployment rates, and both mean a whole new level of penny pinching for the nation’s 99 percent.

As drivers spend about $4 per gallon, finding ways to get better gas mileage is more important than ever.

Fortunately, affordable technology is finally catching up to the escalating

problem.

Some auto companies are trying to ease the burden of astronomical gas prices by improving technology and making it accessible.

If you’re not yet able to benefit from natural gas vehicles and other enhanced technology, there are more ways to conserve fuel and increase efficiency. * Install new spark plugs.

* Choose routes carefully.

The shortest route may not be the most fuel efficient if it’s littered with stoplights and traffic. Avoid traffic lights if possible, but if not, shifting into neutral will give your transmission a break. * Replace air filters. You probably don’t need to replace the air filter as often as mechanics suggest, but keep an eye on it. Filters tend to last 20,000 or 30,000 miles, and a clean filter can improve mileage by 10 percent. * Drive smoothly. We know you’re not going to slow down, but sudden starts, stops and jerky driving hinder fuel economy.
