Headlines Helicopter Treatment for Summer Salt Marsh Mosquitoes Scheduled The Santa Clara County Vector Control District will apply a biological control agent and insect growth regulator by helicopter to reduce the emergence of adult mosquitoes. The areas to be treated are the Alviso Marsh, Smith Yard Marsh, New Chicago Marsh, and Owens Corning Marsh. Aerial treatment is necessary because the areas are extensive and difficult to treat from the ground. No residences or businesses fall within the area to be treated. The aerial treatment is intended to minimize the number of mosquitoes and reduce the risk of mosquito bites to residents in the surrounding communities. Santa Clara Valley Water District is accepting water conservation video and poster entries from youth / The Santa Clara Valley Water District is now accepting video and poster entries for its youth media contest until May 12. This contest is a way to create and increase awareness among Santa Clara County youth to contribute to water-saving efforts and to help respond to the severe drought that California is facing. All entries may be submitted with a completed entry form until midnight May 12, 2014. The contest entry form, complete contest rules and criteria are available online at www.valleywater.org/youthcontest.

First know that ‘oligarchy’ means governance by a faction or small group having wealth and influence. Many are simply not aware of the impact of oligarchies in California. Today, we are all aware of the current drought crisis. However, too many are not aware of the influence of a small group on the distribution of potable water from the Sacramento-San Juaquin River Delta. Governor Jerry Brown has proposed a periferal twin tunnel project to divert Sacramento River water down to Southern California. What many potentially impacted Californians in the San Francisco Bay Area do not know, is that the billion-

aire owners of Paramount Farms, (Stewart and Lynda Resnick), have been buying the influence necessary, to ensure that their Westlands almond orchards, are ensured enough irrigation water to continue production of almonds for export and domestic consumption. This came to my attention when I read ‘Billionaires Influence Felt in California’s Water Policy” by Barbara Barrigan-Parilla, Executive Director, Restore the Delta, published (SF Chronicle, Insight Section, page E8, Sunday, April 27, 2014). The Resnick’s have used their money to influence officials, beginning with campaign contributions to former Governor Gray Davis ($350,000; 1999-2003), Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ($270,000; 2003-2011) and Governor Jerry Brown ($102,000; 2011 to date). The Resnick’s also own Westlands Mutual Water Company which is a subsidiary of Roll Global, which exports

Hace poco me enteré de que el señor guapo a cargo de mi país de origen, felicitó al director Alfonso Cuarón, por su muy galardonada película de “Gravedad”. En su respuesta al presidente, él también decidió hacerle 10 preguntas con respecto a su partido y la reforma energética del país.

Yo no sé como me siento al admitir que mi abuela, quién todavía vive en México, fue una de las muchas que votaron por el actual presidente, Enrique Peña Nieto. Quiero usar la excusa de su vejez y su no saber nada mejor, porque eso es todo lo que sabe, el PRI está en control. Pero no puedo dejar de preguntarme si ellos se arrepienten de la

almonds. Over the years the Resnick’s have gotten an excellent return on investments especially from their influence-buying. Their investments, during the Governor Gray Davis administration resulted in moving the Kern Water Bank to the private sector. During the Schwarzenegger Administration the purpose of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan was turned into a water export plan “with a shadow group directing the project under the auspices of the Department of Water Resources.” Jason Peltier, Chief General Manager, Westlands served in the Interior Department during the George W. Bush administration (2001-2008). Employees of Westlands and the State Water Contractors have been ‘loaned’ to the Department of Water Resources allegedly to oversee water projects, which impact their employers directly, before becoming department employees.

endémica y el reinado en el poder de las empresas petroleras privadas. Sé que no vivo en México, pero cuando se piensa en ello no tienes que estar viviendo allí para preocuparte. No soy una experta cuando se trata de política, pero parece que las compañías petroleras podrán disfrutar más beneficios que las personas. La idea de darles más poder a ellos es aterradora. En el pasado, las empresas extranjeras han hecho fortunas y el país ha obtenido muy poco beneficio. Creo que tenemos que dejar a mi país favorito en el mundo para dar el ejemplo de lo que no se debe hacer. Es una pena que la revista Time tuviese a este hombre en la portada. Cuarón, hace muchas preguntas importantes. Una

According to Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla’s article, “In July 2012, Governor Brown and U.S. Secretary of Interior, Ken Salazar announced their support for the 9,000 cubic-foot-per-second delta water tunnels before any environmental impact report was completed, or a record of decision issued.” This should be of great interest to all Silicon Valley/ South Bay residents because the Santa Clara Valley Water District obtains 50% of its potable water from the Delta. Also, the “Current State Water Project” contract negotiators include representatives with ties to Paramount Farms, who have a privileged seat at the table along with other water contractors. Yet the public and (California) Legislature won only observation seats at these negotiations through a legal challenge. So the people (i.e., “We the People”) have no vote, just the right to watch, while the De-

tiene que ver con los precios del gas, gasolina, y electricidad. Lo menos que puede hacer es explicar cómo eso va a suceder. Porque incluso en este caso, me parece que las empresas no se preocupan de bajar los precios, lo que quieren es ganar más y más dinero y grandes empresas no logran eso con bajar los precios para sus clientes. Peña Nieto en realidad no proporciona ninguna información sobre los efectos de la reforma. Simplemente ha declarado que el país tendría que esperar y ver. ¿Quién dirige un país así? A la espera de ver lo que va a pasar en vez de tener una idea aproximada de lo que se puede esperar. Estoy realmente preocupada con el hecho de cómo puede un presidente gobernar un país así. No parece una ma-

partment of Water Resources and the water contractors negotiate a 50 year contract extension, reducing bond reserve safeguards by 50 percent, and leaving the taxpayers on the hook for “fish and wildlife” mitigations required under federal permits, in addition to operations and mainteance costs for those facilities. These negotiators have yet to work out financing for the (Delta) periferal tunnels. The outsized influence of mega-growers yields significant indirect control of our state and federal agencies that regulate them. That’s a problem, as their private interests trump the public interests.” This is an example of an oligarchy positioning itself over many years to have excessive influence upon the fair distribution of potable water, which is an essential requirement for life of humans, all wild life, and agriculture. Agri-business uses the majority volume of potable water which is distributed at subsi-

dized costs. It is time for CA taxpayers to demand that their State Legislators ensure a fair allocation of potable water to all stakeholders. The CA voters, expecially Latinos, must vote in numbers exceeding 70% to ensure that the CA State Legislature knows who elected them to represent ‘We, The People’. The State must require all existing water districts to recycle as much ‘waste/sewage water as is possible’ and also establish the production of potable water using solar and wind generated electricity to power desalinization plants along the Pacific coast. Desalinization will provide additional water reliably while adding to that produced by nature. Let’s hold accountable and responsible those public stewards dealing with this life sustaining resource. We must ensure that a fair share of Delta water gets to Silicon Valley and SF South Bay.

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION Do you look forward to going to work each day? Do you find that most days your job gets better, more interesting and challenging, and that you leave at night feeling satisfied about what you’ve accomplished? Or are you like many people who find their work situations don’t bring such satisfaction, but rather boredom and frustration? It’s often not the kind of work, or the job title, but rather work-related stress that’s causing the problem. Experts call it “job burnout” and it’s fairly common. It happens when your job seems to offer no hope or future, and most workdays leave you feeling frustrated, discouraged, and fatigued. Such a work environment can affect not simply your job performance but your entire life. And because it can cause

MAY 2-8 2014

serious problems, job burnout needs to be recognized and dealt with early. Some signs include: - Once-challenging work activities now seem common drudgery. - Co-workers, bosses or the overall company make you feel bitter or easily annoyed. - Your job seems more boring every day. - You care less about doing a good job. - You dread going to work and find Sundays depressing because the next day means work. - You lack energy at work and are easily tired. - Your work frustrations are starting to affect parts of your life, like your marriage and relationships with your children or friends. While recognizing the signs of job burnout is important, dealing with the problem can be difficult. While a new job seems the obvious answer, issues such as your age, education, work experience or the current economy can all

make even considering new employment very challenging. However, a new job isn’t always the answer. Sometimes simply identifying the causes of your problems can offer solutions. Maybe it means talking to a supervisor, or taking on new responsibilities. Your company’s human resources department may be able to help with the issue. Job burnout needn’t mean changing careers, but does require identifying the source of your current burnout. Professional help is available through a career counselor. They specialize in helping people gain control over their working lives, as well as in identifying interests and skills related to work and career planning. You can find career counselors listed online, in your local yellow pages, or at the National Career Development Association’s website at www.ncda. ogr. Don’t ignore job burnout until it’s a serious problem.

Descubra por qué todos se vuelven locos por los arándanos salvajes (FAMILY FEATURES) Si le encanta cocinar, descubra los beneficios salvajes de llenar su freezer con arándanos salvajes. Con un intenso sabor a arándanos y el doble de antioxidantes que los arándanos regulares, los arándanos salvajes son diferentes de los arándanos cultivados que compra en la sección de frutas frescas. No se deje engañar por su tamaño: estas pequeñas bayas azuladas constituyen una importantísima fuente de sabor y poder antioxidante en este inmenso planeta azul. Es por ello que el arándano es el elegido por todos aquellos que desean disfrutarlos en comidas, pasteles y licuados, entre otras delicias.

Polenta de arándanos salvajes con cebollas asadas y salchicha Receta de Mireya Merritt, My Healthy Eating Habits, www.myhealthyeatinghabits.com Rinde: 4 porciones Saltee las cebollas con 1 1/2

Cebollas:

1 1/2 cebolla grande, cortada a la mitad y en rodajas finas, unas 4 tazas 1 1/2 cucharada de aceite de oliva

Polenta:

4 tazas de agua 1 cucharadita de sal 1 taza de harina de maíz amarillo 1 3/4 taza de arándanos salvajes congelados

Salchichas:

2 cucharaditas de aceite de oliva 4 salchichas preparadas según las instrucciones del paquete

(FAMILY FEATURES)

cucharada de aceite de oliva hasta que estén ligeramente caramelizadas (unos 25 minutos). Unos 15 minutos antes de que estén listas las cebollas, ponga a hervir agua en un cacerola de 4 cuartos de galón. Agregue sal e incorpore lentamente la harina de maíz amarillo. Revuelva con frecuencia hasta que la polenta espese y adquiera una textura suave. Incorpore lentamente los arándanos congelados: trate de no romperlos. Cocine durante 1 minuto y apague el fuego; tape la cacerola; y deje reposar la polenta entre 1 y 2 minutos. Para servir, coloque en un plato una cucharada grande de polenta de arándanos salvajes; cubra con cebollas asadas; y agregue una salchicha, cortada o entera, sobre las cebollas. Sirva con naranjas en rodajas o con una ensalada de hojas verdes.

If you love to cook, discover the wild advantage and fill your freezer with Wild Blueberries. Packed with more intense blueberry flavor and two times the antioxidants of regular blueberries, Wild Blueberries are wildly different from the cultivated blueberries you find in the fresh produce section. Don’t be fooled by their small size, these berries pack more flavor and antioxidant power into their tiny blue bodies than any other blueberry on this big blue planet. This makes them the blueberry of choice for anyone interested in cooking, baking, making smoothies and more.

Gluten-Free Orange Pancakes with Wild Blueberry-Orange Sauce Recipe by Katie Heddleston, Healthy Heddleston, www.katieheddleston.com Yield: 12 to 15 thin pancakes, depending on size Wild Blueberry-orange sauce: 1/2 cup frozen Wild Blueberries 1tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice 1/2 teaspoon orange zest 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (or honey) Orange pancakes: 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or honey) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1/4 cup milk 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon orange zest 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine

First make sauce. In small sauce pan, combine all ingredients and place on low heat while preparing pancakes. Stir occasionally. Smash Wild Blueberries to desired consistency. To make pancakes, combine all dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Then add in wet ingredients. Whisk everything together until well combined; batter will be thin. On griddle or electric skillet preheat to medium heat. Make sure pan is hot before scooping batter. Using 1/4-cup scoop, pour batter (but not whole scoopful into pancake shapes on griddle). Batter is thin so not much is needed for each pancake. Wait until pancake bubbles before flipping. Flip and cook other side. Continue process until all batter is used. Pour sauce over pancakes while warm. Note: Only one orange is needed for fresh juice and zest for both pancakes and sauce.

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY El 11 de mayo es el Día de la Madre. Si se está rompiendo la cabeza pensando cómo agradecer a su madre por todos los sacrificios que ha hecho para criarlo, le doy una idea: ¿Por qué no se ofrece a ayudarla a organizar sus papeles financieros, legales y médicos para asegurarse de que todo esté en orden?

Cada año, el IRS envía millones de cartas y avisos a los contribuyentes por varias razones. Aquí tiene diez cosas que debe saber en caso de que una de éstas cartas aparezca en su buzón. 1. No se alarme. Comúnmente basta con que responda para resolver el asunto. 2. Existen muchas razones por las que el IRS le puede mandar una carta o aviso.

Si bien las flores y los bombones son una gratificación inmediata, apuesto a que su mamá apreciará mucho el valor a largo plazo de poner sus registros en orden para que tanto ella como usted puedan tomar las medidas apropiadas más adelante, cuando lo necesiten. Algunas de las áreas que puede ayudarla a organizar son: Fuentes de ingresos jubilatorios. Reúna estos documentos para que su mamá tenga una mejor idea de los ingresos con que contará a lo largo de su retiro:

• Registre

a su madre en mySocialSecurity (www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount) para que tenga acceso a cifras estimadas y personalizadas de sus ingresos jubilatorios, beneficios por discapacidad y viudez, registros de los ingresos de toda su vida y una estimación de los impuestos de Seguro Social y Medicare que ha pagado. • También necesitará los datos de su papá para ver si su madre puede llegar a acceder a algún beneficio como cónyuge o viuda. Por lo tanto, registre también a su padre. • Resúmenes anuales de los planes de pensión, cuentas IRA, planes 401(k) u otros planes de retiro a los cuales pueda acceder. (Revise también los resúmenes de su papá en caso de que su madre pueda llegar a obtener beneficios por viudez). • Resúmenes bancarios de las cuentas corrientes, cajas

de ahorro, mercado monetario y CD. • Acciones y certificados de bonos de alguna compañía y resúmenes de otras cuentas de inversión. Deudas pendientes. Reúna también los resúmenes mensuales y saldos impagos de gastos importantes como la hipoteca de la casa u otros préstamos inmobiliarios, préstamos con respaldo de la vivienda o líneas de crédito, préstamos automotores o alquileres con opción a compra, tarjetas de crédito, facturas médicas y préstamos personales. Otros documentos importantes. Su madre debería tener documentos que indiquen cómo le gustaría que se maneje su dinero, tanto en vida como después de su muerte. Busque lo siguiente:

• Pólizas de seguro médico,

propietario/inquilino, vida, discapacidad y atención médica prolongada. • Un testamento (y posiblemente un fideicomiso) que detalle cómo desea que se manejen sus bienes cuando fallezca. • Un poder notarial y médico sin vencimiento que especifique quién tomará las

decisiones financieras y médicas si ella se encuentra incapacitada de hacerlo. • Además, un testamento en vida que informe a los médicos los tratamientos y procedimientos que desea y no desea que se le realicen. • Certificado de nacimiento, certificado de matrimonio, tarjeta del Seguro Social, planes funerarios, datos de la caja de seguridad, etc. • Información de contacto de sus prestadores de servicios profesionales (médicos, farmacia, abogado, asesor financiero, banco, compañías de seguro, etc.). Además, debería darles a estos prestadores su información de contacto en caso de alguna emergencia. Revise estos documentos regularmente y actualícelos cuando haya algún cambio. Por ejemplo, asegúrese de que los beneficiarios designados en el testamento, seguro de vida y planes de retiro de su madre sean los que ella desea actualmente. Si necesita ayuda para guiarla en sus cuestiones financieras, la Seguridad Social ha creado un sitio web especial para mujeres (www.ssa.gov/ women) que ofrece información sobre retiro, disca-

pacidad y otros temas, tanto en inglés como en español. También tienen un Calculador de Jubilación (www.ssa. gov/estimator) que toma la información de sus registros de ingresos y calcula sus beneficios del Seguro Social proyectados en diferentes escenarios (edad a la que se jubila, proyecciones de ingresos futuros, etc.) Otra buena herramienta es el programa “Women´s Saving Initiative”, desarrollado conjuntamente por Heinz Family Philanthropies, el Instituto para el Retiro Seguro de la Mujer (WISER) y Visa Inc. Este programa presenta un libro gratuito llamado “What Women Need to Know About Retirement” (Lo que la mujer debe saber sobre el retiro), que puede descargarse como PDF o archivo de audio de www.practicalmoneyskills.com/resources. Si necesita ayuda profesional, consulte con un planificador financiero matriculado para que le diseñe una estrategia de retiro personalizada.

Cientos de estudiantes vieron el documental Primera Generación en Oakland

Whether you’re playing with the little ones, or letting them do their own thing, here are some great suggestions for creative play:

Oakland CALIFORNIA Esta semana, First Generation Films y Wells Fargo Education Financial Services dieron comienzo a la gira por Oakland de “Go College!”, una iniciativa nacional de educación, que incluyó proyecciones del premiado documental First Generation en escuelas secundarias de Oakland y que culminó con una proyección estelar en Grand Lake Theater, Go College! Oakland es la cuarta ciudad importante en una gira por 10 ciudades que reunirá a los cineastas de First Generation, educadores locales, expertos en préstamos para estudiantes y líderes cívicos y comunitarios para llevar a cabo un interesante debate en paneles en todas las proyecciones a fin de promover una conversación nacional sobre cómo estudiantes y padres pueden hacer realidad el acceso a la educación universitaria. “Una educación universitaria no sólo puede cambiar una vida, sino las perspectivas de toda una comunidad”, señaló John Rasmussen, Director de Wells Fargo Education Financial Services. “Mediante nuestra colaboración con First Generation Films para crear la iniciativa Go College!, esperamos plantar semillas de esperanza en los estudiantes de primera generación de los Estados Unidos

Sock Puppet Play

y hacer realidad la posibilidad de alcanzar la educación superior.” Filmado durante el transcurso de tres años, el documental First Generation está narrado por el actor dos veces candidato a los Globos de Oro, Blair Underwood, y analiza el problema relacionado con el acceso a los estudios universitarios que enfrentan los estudiantes de primera generación y de bajos ingresos. El documental describe el camino recorrido por cuatro estudiantes que intentan terminar con el círculo de la pobreza y llevar una luz de esperanza a sus comunidades mientras llevan adelante el sueño de acceder a una educación universitaria. “Nuestro objetivo al realizar el documental era ayudar a los estudiantes de escuelas secundarias a aprender a través de sus pares sobre el proceso de admisión a la universidad”, expresó la Codirectora Jaye Fenderson, ex funcionaria sénior de admisiones de la Universidad de Columbia y autora de Seventeen’s Guide To Getting Into College (Guía para adolescentes sobre el ingreso a la universidad). “Sin embargo, ese objetivo evolucionó y se transformó en una aspiración mucho mayor: brindar

una experiencia emocional y transmitir un mensaje que resonara en las comunidades desfavorecidas.” “Al mostrar el documental directamente a los estudiantes y hablar con sus padres, queremos eliminar cualquier barrera, ya sea real o percibida, que impida acceder a la universidad”, dijo el Codirector Adam Fenderson. Go College! recorrerá Los Ángeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Oakland y Washington DC durante la primavera de 2014. Durante el otoño de 2014, la campaña visitará las ciudades de Atlanta, Miami, Minneapolis, Houston y Dallas. “Después de más de 40 años en el mercado de préstamos privados para estudiantes, Wells Fargo conoce la importancia de la educación superior”, expresó Rasmussen. “Después de comprar una casa, financiar la educación universitaria es uno de los eventos más importantes de la vida para nuestros clientes. First Generation es un documental verdaderamente inspirador, y esperamos que el documental y la iniciativa GoCollege! ayuden a los estudiantes y a sus familias a lograr sus objetivos de acceder a la educación superior.”

Keep old socks on hand and art supplies for that next rainy day. Permanent markers, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, sparkles, glue and yarn can turn some regular old socks into an entire cast of characters. You can even let the kids design the stage. Then have them write a script and rehearse. Finally, get the video recorder because it’s show time!

eryone five to 10 minutes to dance, sing, twirl a baton, perform comedy or whatever else he or she does best. You can make the event even more special by inviting your children’s friends over to participate and their parents to be part of the audience. Set up the backyard or living room like it’s a real theater.

Creative Toys

Stock the play room with toys that go above and beyond merely entertaining kids. They should encourage adventure and the use of one’s imagination. For example, Playmobil’s realistic playsets spark creativity and can

transport kids anywhere -from a knight’s tournament to a pirate ship to a princess island to a pony pasture.

Start a Band

Make an afternoon project of creating instruments with stuff found around the house, such as guitars made out of empty cereal boxes and rubber bands, and maracas made out of dried beans and cans. Kids can “cover” their favorite songs or even write their own. With a little creativity, and the right toys and supplies, you can avoid letting play time be ‘down time’ for your children’s minds.

Veronica T. Avendaño EL OBSEVADOR Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren introduced a private bill

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

this past Monday, April 28, in an effort to halt the deportation of a Bay Area woman, Antonia Aguilar. The bill called for Aguilar’s release

from the Otay Detention Center in San Diego, California as well as granting her legal permanent residency. As of Wednesday April 29, word

was received that Aguilar was deported with no other information at the time of press.

prevalent fear of deportation. No family should have to suffer what we have.”

In a press conference and rally held by San Jose State University’s Student Advocates for Higher Education (SAHE) in front of Martin Luther King, Jr. library on Tuesday, April 29th, Aguilar’s son, David Gonzalez, an aerospace engineering student at SJSU asked for support to bring his mother home. Gonzalez and his younger siblings, Ameila, and Jose Manuel have not seen their mother in three years.

Three years ago, Aguilar left the United States to visit Mexico to say a final goodbye to her ailing father. Aguilar lived in the United States undocumented for 11 years. Last month, her request for political asylum was denied.

“I’m here today asking that our fellow representatives, specifically the Republican party, to follow in her [Lofgren’s] brave footsteps and stand up for my mother,” said Gonzalez. “Our story represents a struggle of 11 million others whose families have been torn apart or live in

In an earlier interview, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren commented, “The mother has no criminal record except trying to be reunited with her children.” Aguilar’s children are currently separated and living with friends and family. SAHE launched a campaign to bring Aguilar and others home by encouraging others to place calls to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and share support via social media through the hashtags, #BringAnto-

niaHome and #BringThemHome.At the time of the press conference, Gonzalez said his mother was awaiting a response from ICE in regards to obtaining prosecutorial discretion, which favors prosecuting aliens in a case by case basis, for example non-criminal aliens vs. criminal aliens. Statistics, released by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, note that prosecutorial discretion is rarely used. From October 2012-March 2014, ICE exercised prosecutorial discretion in about 6.7 percent of cases. “Although the introduction of a private bill is rare, the congresswoman’s bill serves as a clarion demand for all sides of the house of representatives to come together to enact just and humane immigration reform,” said Ray Sullivan, SAHE member.

El arte de ahorrar “Popular entre la tropa era

Adelita la mujer que el sargento idolatraba y además de ser valiente era bonita que hasta el mismo Coronel la respetaba.” Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR In commemoration of the Battle of Puebla, or more commonly “Cinco De Mayo”, we recollect the history and experiences of all those people that helped shape the nation and lead it to a more democratic future. One of the most interesting things about the Mexican Revolution, which happened, the Battle of Puebla, was the Adelitas, a term coined to represent the soldaderas, or Mexican female revolutionaries who fought alongside the men in the war efforts. In the wake of the French push towards dominating Mexico there stood men, women and children who whether by force or will, stopped the advances and liberated Mexico to begin its ascent to the young, but definite, world power it is today. It was not the end of the trials though, as a massive Civil War would take 10 years, and countless lives, to bring about a balance that would finally lead to the present Mexican identity. After the French-Mexican war was over, there stood a type of dictatorship in

place of the French control. Known as the era of the autocrat, Proforio Diaz, his reign lasted around three decades, up until the Revolution where he was ousted and fled to France in exile. During this era the rebellious Mexican forces acquired a new weapon, the female soldier. Sometimes taken by force, these women, from ranches and villages, a great number of them indigenous and with no battle experience whatsoever, were turned into revolutionaries, spawning parables of these strong women. These legends and stories eventually led to a corrido song called La Adelita. According to folklore it was based on a true person. The lyrics of the corrido, which idolize a woman soldier named Adelita, goes to express the sincere adoration for this person, how she is respected, strong and beautiful. This reflected the time period as the fascination and respect for these women historically was unheard of between the gender divide. In the beginning these women of the revolution were aides to the fighting men, providing healthcare,

food and cleaning services at camps, and wherever these soldiers were located at the moment. The shift towards fighting in the war was because of the desire of some of these women, who would have to disguise themselves as men in order to fight.

During this period of time women in the ranks were, in general not seen as equals to men. But, even through this, the women soldiers managed to help their male counterparts through espionage, (women would join enemy camps and obtain information) smuggling and actual fighting. One of these heroines was Coronel María Quinteras de Meras, who was one of the most revered of these Mexican female soldiers. In fact, she led many battles for Pancho Villa, held a higher rank than her husband, who also fought in the same regime, and earned the respect of Villa himself. Historically, Villa was not fond of the women soldiers. So to have his esteem was a rarity, and definitely a validation of the tremendous skills of Col. Quinteras de Meras. Even within her unit, it was believed that she possessed supernatural abilities.

Having brought in former Obama EPA administrator Lisa Jackson to head its environmental initiatives, Apple Computer has a new corporate headquarters under construction in Cupertino, California that will use 30 percent less energy than an equivalent conventional building, and has taken steps to decrease the material required to produce its iPhones, iPads, iPods and Macs. The new iPad Air, pictured here, uses a third less material overall by weight than the original iPad. Sean MacEntee, courtesy Flickr. Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EARTHTALK Long criticized for its lack of commitment to sustainability—from supporting the dangerous mining of precious resources and exploiting factory workers to powering its data centers with energy derived from coal and not taking back products for recycling—Apple has really worked on turning things around over the past couple of years. Indeed, just this past month the company announced that 94 percent of its corporate facilities and 100 percent of its data centers now operate on power from renewable sources. Environmentalists first took notice that serious change was afoot at Apple in May 2013, when the company brought in former Obama Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Lisa Jackson, to head its corporate environmental initiative. Since then, the company has unveiled plans showing how its new corporate headquarters—currently under construction in Cupertino, California—will use 30 percent less energy than an equivalent conventional building, while playing host to some 7,000 carbon-

sequestering trees. Apple also reports that it has decreased the material required to produce its iPhones, iPads, iPods and Macs. A new iPad Air, for instance, uses a third less material overall by weight than the original iPad. And all of the company’s retail stores will now take back any Apple products for free recycling— U.S. and U.K. consumers can even earn gift cards for turning in old iPhones, iPads and computers. Of course, Apple still has work to do. The nonprofit, Friends of the Earth, has been on the company’s case to agree to a plan that will reign in the human and environmental toll of destructive tin mining in Indonesia and elsewhere. Tin is a major component of the solder in smart phones and other electronics, and the popularity of such items has pushed miners to extremes, and is linked to the destruction of tropical rainforests, coral reefs and commercial fisheries. Apple sent a team of investigators to the Indonesian islands responsible for producing some 30 percent of the world’s commercially available tin, but the company has yet to commit to any changes in the way it sources this increasingly valuable raw material.

As for other tech/Internet companies, Greenpeace has been assessing and tracking environmental performance of the big players for more than a decade. “The Internet we love, and the companies that run it are at a crossroads in terms of where their energy comes from,” reports the group. “Many of these companies have already chosen the road to a green internet and a sustainable future.” Some of the best performers besides Apple include Facebook, Google, Salesforce, Rackspace and Box, each of which has committed to 100 percent renewable energy. Greenpeace isn’t as bullish on Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and Amazon, each of which relies heavily on coal-fired power sources for their data centers and other operations, but still says. “If Amazon and others want to stay innovative and relevant, it’s high time they made the switch to the abundant, sustainable, renewable energy of today.” Concerned consumers can sign Greenpeace’s online #ClickClean petition, asking these big players to step up and commit to renewable energy and environmentally responsible operations.

the cost for care. Professional cleaning costs can add up quickly, and sometimes surpass the original price tag. Thankfully, more designers are thinking about this when designing clothes. For example, thanks to a partnership between Tide and the Council of Fashion Designers

of America, designers such as Tracy Reese are now offering completely washable looks. Keep an eye out for those washable pieces... they’ll save you money in the long run! In sum, spend more on your style, not on how you care for it.

Jean fabric is one of those fabrics that lends itself for just about everything, and also can transition into every season. So don’t put away your jean items.

Spring is in full swing and I’m pretty sure that by now you have already transitioned from your fall and winter wardrobe onto your spring looks. But, if you haven’t done it don’t feel bad. With this crazy weather we’ve been having, it’s hard to predict if you’re going to need a coat or a tank and if you’re anything like me, you still have your entire wardrobe-- for all seasons-- available, because, it never hurts to be prepared. Now, there are a number of Fall/Winter items that can easily transition into Spring and Summer and , as a matter of fact, trending right now. Trends that just about anyone can sport. Let’s take a look at some of them to give you an idea, and see if you can come up with your own. Layering. A huge trend for fall, but it doesn’t have to stay there. There are a number of items that you can layer up for those not-so-hot days of Spring and look oh so cool while doing it. Do this. Take your jean jacket, a dress shirt and a t-shirt with your favorite character, and put on some jeans or even jean shorts, and go on about your day. Preppy-it Up. Sports coats or suit jackets are not only for the office anymore. You can kick your style up a notch by using one of your many blazers with your favorite jeans, or bright colored khakis. And

Keep the Leather! You know how a leather jacket is one of the basic necessities of any man’s man? Well, you know what is better than just a plain leather jacket? A biker leather jacket. So why in the world would you want to wear a leather jacket for Spring and Summer? Because it looks so f-ing cool! One thing I do recommend is not to wear it during the day, but instead have it handy for the late afternoon when the breeze begins to cool the city, and you

For this Spring and Summer don’t be afraid to use your Winter and Fall clothes. After all there aren’t any set rules that say you can’t. Have fun with your style and don’t be afraid to take risks.

It’s been more than 10 years since Amores Perros (Mexico 2000) and the first wave of New Argentine Cinema. While it’s too soon, perhaps, to classify the titles in the Festival’s World Cinema Spotlight as a “next wave” or “new wave,” it is very apparent that there is a lot of cinematic magic happening south of the border. Strong new voices continue to surface from Argentina and Mexico and are presented here alongside assured and unique offerings by emerging filmmakers from countries less often represented on screen: Uruguay, Venezuela and Costa Rica (appearing in the program for the first time in the Festival’s 57-year history) The Amazing Catfish, Claudia Sainte-Luce, Mexico

Set in Guadalajara, The Amazing Catfish follows the quiet transformation of a solitary young woman informally adopted and absorbed into a rambunctious matriarchy in a state of crisis. Filmed by Claire Denis long-time cinematographer, Agnès Godard, Claudia Sainte-Luce s debut feature, based loosely on events from her own life, blends a wry and moving naturalism with moments of inspired comedy.

Latino children experience a disproportionate cancer rate. At least 32% of the blood cancer cases among children in California are Latino. The diets of Latino children put them at a particularly high risk for obesity. Compared to other ethnic groups the diets of Latino children are higher in dietary fat, sweetened beverages, and lower in fruits and vegetables driving driving epidemic rates of obesity, a risk factor for cancer.
