California Senate Approves Military Sexual Assault Bill /The Senate today approved Senate Bill 1422, authored by Senator Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima) on a bipartisan vote of 34 to 0. The bill would require cases of sexual assault of a service member of the California Military Department (CMD) be subject to the jurisdiction of local civilian authorities. The bill now goes to the Assembly for consideration. The CMD is comprised of the following three components of the active militia: The National Guard, the State Military Reserve, and the Naval Militia. $300K State Grant to Promote Proper Disposal of Motor Oil and Filters in San José and throughout Santa Clara County / The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has awarded the Santa Clara County Household Hazardous Waste program a two-year $300,000 grant to promote proper disposal of motor oil and filters in San José and other South Bay communities.

has no power; the organized union does and provides an essential ‘check and balance’ to the employer’s power and authority. Consider the recent ‘push-back’ by the Black NBA players, who by collective quick reaction to racist remarks forced the NBA Commissioner to act quickly.

Hilbert Morlaes EL OBSERVADOR Why should you vote? Here are some reasons: Conservatives and their supporters have consistently promoted the ‘Trickle Down’ economic theory, under which jobs are created when the very wealthy invest their money. Robert Reich’s article “Exposing right wing’s lies”(S.F. Chronicle, May 11, 2014, Insight, Page E9) tells us that “even though French economist Thomas Piketty has made an airtight case, we are heading towards levels of income inequalities not seen since the days of the 19th century robber- barons.

Right wing conservatives have not stopped lying about what is happening and what to do about it.”

NEW AMERICA MEDIA Es difícil imaginar que nosotros como individuos podemos hacer algo sobre el sistema roto de inmigración que está separando a muchas de nuestras familias. Pero sí podemos.

Hay un paso que, si se toma en conjunto, podría tener el poder de proteger a nuestras familias y avanzar a nuestras comunidades.

Más de 8 millones de inmigrantes en los Estados Unidos tienen tarjetas de residencia (green cards) y son elegibles para convertirse en ciudadanos estadounidenses. Sin embargo, sólo el 8 por ciento de los inmigrantes elegibles se naturalizan cada año.

Imagínese lo que pasaría si los millones de nosotros que somos elegibles para convertirnos en ciudadanos realmente tomáramos ese paso.Seríamos capaces de votar. Pero los

Lie No. One: The rich and CEO’s are America’s job creators. So we dare not tax them. The truth is, the middle class and the poor are the job creators through their purchases of goods and services.” Also, innovative individuals, such as Steve Jobs, have developed innovations in his garage which became Apple, Inc.. Corporations are not creative. Individuals with insight and education develop new innovations which result in new products, services, and the development of demand for products created.

Lie No. Two: People are paid what they are worth in the

beneficios de la ciudadanía no se acaban ahí.

Podríamos mantener juntas a nuestras familias. Como ciudadanos naturalizados estadounidenses, podríamos solicitar a nuestros parientes.

Nos otorgarían la ciudadanía automática para nuestros hijos menores de 18 años que son residentes legales permanentes.

(labor) market, so we should not tamper with (wages and salary) pay scales.” Senator Elizabeth Warren said it best, “No employee who is employed full time, should end up being on the welfare rolls of their local community”. A living wage is preferable to ‘minimum wages’. A goal for America’s working class is to be able to unionize so as to have collective bargaining when negotiating about wages, benefits, and job-site issues with their employers. Union busting activities have reduced unionized labor down to 7% when it used to be about 45%. At the wage and benefits negotiation table, the individual

Podríamos aplicar para los puestos de trabajo del gobierno que sólo están disponibles para los ciudadanos estadounidenses. ¡Y los estudios han demostrado que los inmigrantes que se naturalizan también tienen un incremento en ingresos!

Entonces ¿por qué no están solicitando la ciudadanía más poseedores de la tarjeta verde?

Algunos pueden ser impedidos por las barreras económicas y del idioma. Sin embargo, un grupo de organizaciones que forman parte de la Campaña de Nuevos Americanos (New Americans Campaign), una campaña nacional, están trabajando para reducir estas barreras.

Si no domina el inglés puede que piense que eso limita sus posibilidades de convertirse en ciudadano. Pero si usted ha estado aquí por muchos años, usted puede calificar para tomar el examen en su lengua

Lie No. Three: “Anyone can make it in America with enough guts, gumption, and intelligence. So we do not need to do anything for poor and lower-middle-class kids.” Facts establish that not enough resources are provided to educate these kids.

In California, the same level of resources is devoted to education as are to the state prison system whose inmates are 65% individuals of color (i.e., low income, working poor, and the impoverished).

The low-income communities of California need to organize themselves so as to enable the identification of, and facilitate the education and development of, their future business and social leaders.

reformed and updated so as to tax those who earn more than $250,000 per year to provide the revenues needed to provide for and support a highly effective education system which is available to anyone willing to learn new ideas or develop new skills.

Informed and skilled workers are always in demand by industry.

Lie No. Four: “Increasing the minimum wage will result in fewer jobs. So we should not raise it “. The real public policy issue is the concept of a ‘Living wage’ being provided to any and all full time employees. Since 1975, middle class jobs have been lost when out-sourced to nations whose labor has low wages and limited benefits. Low-income folks will spend any increase in income until their essential needs are being enjoyed.

A bit of discretionary income permits these folks to exercise choices when purchasing goods and services. The American consumer economy needs folks who have some money in their pockets.

Lie No. Five: America has a ‘free market economy’ wherein the competitive field’ is level”. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Just consider all those IRS tax loopholes, tax credits, accelerated depreciation, landbanks, etc. Corporations and the top 1% will not willingly give up all those ‘credits and exclusions’ which make up “corporate welfare”.

WHY VOTE?: The above are some reasons. The reality is that, to keep government and corporations honest, all of us need to display our collective voting power. This is especially true of the Hispanic community which must increase its participation level from 18% up to 70%+. Each Latino vote has the power of ONE. Latinos will be accepted and respected when their power is manifested by their votes. I hope you got this concept and simply go do it: PLAN TO VOTE ON PRIMARY ELECTION DAY, TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 2014.

SAN FRANCISCO

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris issued a series of recommendations for businesses that directly address recent changes to California privacy law. The guide, Making Your Privacy Practices Public, provides businesses with an up-to-date resource to craft a useful, transparent privacy policy for consumers.

“California has proven that robust and balanced privacy protections are consistent with a thriving innovation economy,” Attorney General Harris said. “This guide is a tool for businesses to create clear and transparent privacy policies that reflect the state’s privacy laws and allow consumers to make informed decisions.”

In 2003, California established the landmark California Online Privacy Protection Act, which was the first law in the nation to require operators of commercial websites, including mobile apps, to conspicuously post a privacy policy if they collect personally identifiable information from Californians. In

MAY 23-29, 2014

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

2013, the Act was amended

by Assembly Bill 370, which requires privacy policies to include information on how the operator responds to Do Not Track signals or similar mechanisms. The law also requires privacy policies to state whether third parties can collect personally identifiable information about the site’s users.

In 2012, Attorney General Harris created the Privacy Enforcement and Protection Unit to enforce federal and state privacy laws regulating the collection, retention, disclosure, and destruction of private or sensitive information by individuals, organizations, and the government. The unit also works to educate consumers and recommend best practices to businesses on privacy-related issues.

After receiving requests from the business community regarding privacy policy requirements, Attorney General Harris’ Privacy Enforcement and Protection Unit consulted with numerous stakeholders from the business sector, academia and privacy advocates in de-

veloping these recommendations.

“HP commends the work of California in establishing expectations-based guidance for privacy as it strikes the right balance between innovation and the protection of legitimate consumer rights,” said Scott Taylor, Vice President and Chief Privacy Officer, Hewlett-Packard.

Not Track,” said Aleecia McDonald, Director of Privacy, Center for Internet and Society, Stanford Law School.

Most recently, Attorney General Harris issued recommendations to California businesses to help protect against and respond to the increasing threat of malware, data breaches and other cyber risks.

The guide, Cybersecurity in the Golden State, provides recommendations focused on small to mid-sized businesses, which are particularly vulnerable to cybercrime and often lack the resources to hire cybersecurity personnel. In 2012, 50% of all cyber attacks were aimed at businesses with fewer than 2,500 employees and 31% were aimed at those with less than 250 employees.

In 2013, Attorney General Harris issued a guide, Privacy on the Go: Recommendations for the Mobile Ecosystem, which provided app developers with recommendations to develop strong privacy practices, translate those practices into mobilefriendly policies, and coordinate with industry actors to promote transparency.

almost 15,000 workers will lose their jobs, a unavoidable impact from the drought.

Consumers can expect food price increases within the expected range normally seen from year-to-year, according to the report. Over 75 percent of the surface water lost due to the drought has been replaced by groundwater pumping, a practice that cannot continue indefinitely.

Unless a long-term solution to California’s water supply is developed, including new surface storage, the flexibility brought about by groundwater pumping will be lost, increasing the likelihood that consumer price protections won’t exist in the future.

An increasing concern is the number of citrus trees that are now being removed from the east side of the San Joaquin Valley. Talks by the Coalition with individual water districts indicate that 4,000 acres of mature citrus trees are being removed and that number could go up. Current deliveries from Friant Dam to farmers in a 130-mile swath from Chowchilla to Bakersfield remain at zero.

Farmers on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley are also at zero percent for their

Central Valley Project deliveries. The result has forced water districts to seek transfers of water that come with a price tag that is as high as 10 times the normal cost farmers pay for their water.

Mayor Sylvia Chavez of the Westside community of Huron expects only 1,500 workers will be employed by surrounding farms, which normally hire as many as 6,000 seasonal workers. Chavez predicts that people will lose their homes and move away, which will further affect Huron’s business community that has already declined by 10-20 percent.

The drop in water deliveries to farmers in the Sacramento Valley in Northern California is expected to result in one in five acres planted to rice last year will be out of production. This loss of 112,000 acres means agrelated industries such as Button Transportation in Dixon won’t have positions for more than two dozen drivers to haul fertilizer to rice fields.

That means less in the way of diesel fuel and oil purchases, fewer parts purchased from the local automotive parts dealer, fewer tires, etc.

Attorney General Harris has been a staunch advocate for policies that both protect consumers’ personal information online and foster the continued growth of California’s robust technology economy.

“I applaud the California Attorney General’s publication of best practices for communicating with citizens about privacy. Their common-sense recommendations are clear, readable, useful, and mercifully short.

Companies will understand how to comply with the letter and spirit of California transparency laws. In particular, I am delighted to see a lighttouch legislative approach for transparency around Do

Mike Wade California Farm Water Coalition A University of California, Davis economic study that estimates a $1.67 billion loss to agriculture and ag-related industries in the Central Valley will result in a $3.4 billion hit to the state’s economy, based on widely used economic models. The negative effects of the ongoing drought on our farms will create a ripple effect throughout all segments of California.

Researchers are estimating that 400,000 acres will remain unplanted but added that the numbers will be revised in an updated report expected next month. Earlier surveys conducted by the Coalition doubled that amount of unplanted acreage but recent increases in water deliveries by State and federal projects, along with an increase in pumping from aquifers, have resulted in the lower number.

This is good news for some farmers as well as consumers that the increased water supply since earlier this year will result in more acres being planted than originally estimated. It still means that

San Jose CALIFORNIA Supervisor Dave Cortese announced that on May 20, 2014, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved a proposal to analyze, gather stakeholder input, and report on the feasibility and fiscal implications for the County of a County living wage ordinance. This proposal, which was put forward

by Supervisor Cortese and Supervisor Yeager, also calls for the creation of a Family Friendly Employer Certification Program.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY CALIFORNIA The County of Santa Clara Animal Care and Control, along with all shelters in Santa Clara County, is participating in Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days, the nation’s largest free adoption event to be held May 31 and June 1. All dog and cat adoptions are free to qualified adopters, and for each adoption, the County of Santa Clara will receive a stipend of $500-$2,000 from Maddie’s Fund.

“We are proud to be a part of Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days that will provide loving homes for pets currently in our San Martin Animal Shelter,” said President Mike Wasserman, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors.

“Not only will residents be adding a new member to their families, but the County will receive an adoption stipend from Maddie’s Fund that will help the shelter care for more homeless cats and dogs while they are waiting for a home.”

The Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days event includes more than 200 shelters and rescue groups in nine states. This year, Maddie’s Fund wants to find homes for 10,000 ani-

mals nationwide during the two-day event. Locally, the County shelter hopes to place more than 70 kittens, puppies, and adult cats and dogs in new homes.

“During Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days the community can help us meet our adoption goal of placing more than 70 pets with new families,” said Albert Escobar, Animal Care and Control Manager, who oversees the San Martin Animal Shelter. “With support from foundations such as Maddie’s Fund we can continue meeting our goal of finding homes for 100% of all healthy shelter dogs and cats, and no euthanizing of healthy animals.”

Standard adoption fees of $90-$120 for dogs and cats will be waived during the adoption weekend. Also included in the adoption, freeof-charge, are $500 worth of services, including spay/ neuter surgery, Microchip ID implantation and registration, age-appropriate vaccinations, de-fleaing and de-worming, and FIV/FeLV testing for cats .

In 2013, during the nationwide event, 103 pets were adopted from the County Animal Shelter. As a result

of these adoptions, Maddie’s Fund gave the shelter a grant in the amount of $58,500 for support of programs and services benefitting the homeless cats and dogs in the shelter’s care and their placement in loving homes.

Maddie’s Fund also recognized local shelters in 2012.

The County and its partners in the WeCARE Coalition received more than $1 million as part of the Community Lifesaving Award from Maddie’s Fund, recognizing the Santa Clara County community as a leader in saving animal lives and to acknowledge the outstanding contributions made by all members of the WeCARE Alliance.

All shelters in Santa Clara County are participating in Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days and most also will be extending their normal business hours that weekend. There will be over 500 dogs and cats available countywide.

Visit adopt.maddiesfund.org for more information and a list of participating shelters and rescue groups. For more information about the San Martin Animal Shelter visit www.sccountypets.org or call (408) 686-3900.

“We live in one of the wealthiest counties in the nation,” Cortese said. “Yet, nearly 30% of families who work full-time earn less than the self-sufficiency standard.

These families deserve to earn a wage that is sufficient

to survive without county assistance programs. Santa Clara County cannot continue to be part of the income problem. Instead, it must set an example and be part of the solution.”

The self-sufficiency standard measures the income required to cover all individual or family’s basic expenses without public or private assistance. Today, in Santa Clara County, two working adults with two school-age children must each earn $17.22/hour to be self-sufficient, according to the Insight Center for Community and Economic Development.

Minimum wage in Santa Clara County falls far short of this self-sufficiency wage requirement. Based on today’s proposal, Santa Clara County will examine the impacts of a living wage ordinance will have on the county.

In addition, the county will create a Family Friendly Employer Certification Program.

This voluntary program will provide a way to identify businesses in the county that are family friendly with respect to wages and related standards.

“Through the Family Friendly Employer Certification Program, residents will easily be able to identify businesses that meet minimum wage and similar standards. It will provide valuable information for those looking for a job and those who want to do business with family friendly employers,” said Cortese.

County staff is expected to return with more information about this proposal.

For more information or questions, contact the office of Supervisor Dave Cortese at 408-299-5030.

‘Wells Fargo Works for Small Business’ La compañía establece un objetivo a cinco años de ofrecer $100,000 millones en nuevos préstamos a pequeñas empresas como parte de una iniciativa para contribuir al éxito de más empresas

SAN FRANCISCO Wells Fargo presenta Wells Fargo Works for Small Business, una amplia iniciativa con el fin de brindar recursos, asesoramiento y servicios para ayudar a que una mayor cantidad de pequeñas empresas alcancen el éxito financiero.

“Trabajar con los propietarios de pequeñas empresas es una de las cosas más importantes que hacemos en Wells Fargo. Sabemos que Estados Unidos necesita que las pequeñas empresas crezcan, incorporen puestos de trabajo y prosperen para que prospere por completo nuestra eco-

nomía,” señaló Lisa Stevens, Directora de Pequeñas Empresas de Wells Fargo. “A través de Wells Fargo Works for Small Business y de nuestro nuevo objetivo de préstamos, queremos brindar el apoyo que las pequeñas empresas de todo el país necesitan para avanzar.”

Durante 11 años consecutivos, Wells Fargo ha prestado más dinero a pequeñas empresas en los Estados Unidos que ningún otro banco (en virtud de la Community Reinvestment Act [Ley de Reinversión Comunitaria] [CRA, por sus siglas en inglés] de 2002 a 2012). Wells Fargo ha sido, además, el prestamista número uno de préstamos 7(a) de la Small Business Association (SBA, por sus siglas en inglés) en dólares cada uno de los últimos cinco años y el primer prestamista en aprobar más de $1,000 millones en préstamos 7(a) de la SBA en un solo año.

Los elementos claves de Wells Fargo Works for Small Business incluyen: »WellsFargoWorks.com un recurso por Internet mejorado que ofrece asesoramiento financiero útil sobre cómo establecer crédito y sostener el crecimiento, entre otros temas, a fin de ayudar a los empresarios a aumentar sus conocimientos y confianza.

El sitio incluye cientos de artículos de interés, recursos informativos y videos, en los que participan expertos nacionales en estrategias para pequeñas empresas y empresarios que comparten sus experiencias. »Wells Fargo Works Project (disponible en inglés), una se-

Jason Alderman Practical Money Todos los días, unos 10.000 hijos de la posguerra cumplen 65 años y, por lo tanto, pueden acceder a los servicios de Medicare.

Pero ser elegible no es lo mismo que estar inscripto en Medicare. De hecho, si se saltea el período inicial para inscribirse en ciertos planes de Medicare y decide hacerlo más adelante, podría terminar pagando primas mucho más altas por el resto de su vida.

Si está por cumplir 65 años, familiarícese con estas cuestiones básicas de Medicare: Medicare brinda beneficios a las personas mayores de 65 años (y a los menores de 65 que tengan ciertos tipos de discapacidad o enfermedad renal terminal). Para la mayoría, el período de inscripción inicial es el período de siete meses que comienza tres meses antes del mes en que cumplen los 65. Si se pierde ese período, puede inscribirse entre el 1 de enero y el 31 de marzo de cada año, pero su cobertura no comenzará sino hasta el 1 de julio.

Medicare ofrece varias opciones de planes y coberturas, que son: Medicare Parte A, ayuda a cubrir los gastos de internación hospitalaria, centros de cuidados especializados y servicios de hospicio, así como atención domiciliaria.

La mayoría de las personas no paga ninguna prima por la Parte A, siempre que ellas o sus cónyuges hayan pagado los impuestos FICA durante, por lo menos, 40 trimestres calendarios.

Medicare Parte B ayuda a cubrir los servicios médicos

necesarios, la atención ambulatoria, los aparatos médicos de uso doméstico y varios servicios preventivos. Es opcional y tiene una prima mensual.

Para la mayoría de las personas, hay un deducible anual de U$S147; superada esa suma, usted debe pagar el 20 por ciento del monto del servicio aprobado por Medicare, siempre que el médico o prestador acepte Medicare.

Los planes de Medicare Parte C (Advantage) son ofrecidos por aseguradoras privadas aceptadas por Medicare como alternativa a los planes originales de Medicare Parte A y B. La mayoría cubre los medicamentos recetados y algunos incluyen beneficios adicionales como cobertura odontológica y oftalmológica por un costo extra. Por lo general, se le exige que utilice los servicios de los médicos, hospitales y farmacias que pertenecen a la red, lo que puede ser más limitado que los prestadores a los que puede acceder a través de las Partes A y B. Medicare Parte D ayuda a cubrir el costo de los medicamentos recetados. Es opcional y tiene una prima mensual. Estos planes privados varían mucho en términos de costos, copagos y deducibles, así como en los medicamentos cubiertos. Si usted está inscripto en un plan de la Parte C que incluye la cobertura de los medicamentos, no necesita la Parte D. Mucha gente adquiere, además, el seguro de Medigap (o Medicare Suplementario), que es ofrecido por aseguradoras privadas y ayuda a pagar varias de las cosas no cubiertas por Medicare. Los planes de Medigap pueden variar mucho en términos de costos, beneficios cubiertos y

estados participantes, por lo que le recomiendo comparar sus opciones cuidadosamente.

Recuerde lo siguiente:

• En todos los planes de Medicare pueden haber deducibles, copagos y coseguros, dependiendo del servicio prestado.

• Con las Partes B y D, puede tener penalidades importantes si no se inscribe en el momento en que es elegible –las primas de la Parte B pueden aumentar un 10 por ciento por cada período de 12 meses que deje pasar sin inscribirse (la penalidad de la Parte D es más complicada); no obstante, si usted está cubierto actualmente por un plan de su empleador, puede inscribirse más adelante sin penalidades.

• Los términos de los planes Advantage y Parte D, como las primas, los copagos y los medicamentos cubiertos, pueden modificarse de un año a otro. Por lo tanto, lea detenidamente el material de inscripción de sus planes actuales para asegurarse de que sigan cubriendo sus necesidades.

Entender y elegir la opción de Medicare que mejor se ajuste a su situación individual puede ser un proceso complicado y que lleve tiempo. Si necesita ayuda, llame al 1-800-633-4227 o ingrese a www.medicare.gov, donde encontrará “Medicare y Usted 2014”, una guía detallada que explica cómo funciona Medicare en términos fáciles de entender, con herramientas para comparar planes de prescripciones, hospitales, centros de atención, agencias de atención domiciliaria y planes de Medigap en su área.

Cinta Resistente, Fuerte, Arránquelo, Péguelo, Listo.

San José CALIFORNIA On May 14, 2014, Melissa Urbain, an eighth grade teacher at John Muir Middle School, was named the San José Unified Teacher of the Year for the 2013-2014 school year. Ms. Urbain teaches English language arts and Inside Intervention classes.

Ms. Urbain’s was recognized for guiding and encouraging her students academically while also nurturing their growth into young adults.

“Melissa is the true definition of what its means to be an advocate for students, especially for students who need more attention and love,” said John Muir principal Gloria Marchant.

“She is dynamic, gets things done, and when asked what makes her happy, she says, ‘What makes me happy is to help students and teachers.’”

There were tense moments during the Peralta Community College District Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 as undocumented students and supporters demanded the removal of Janet Napolitano as keynote speaker at the Laney College Graduation in Oakland, Calif. There was a full house at the Peralta Community College District.

At the May 14 event, San José Unified and the San José Teachers Association recognized 38 teachers who were named Teacher of the Year at their school site. Nominated by peers, these teachers were selected because of their instructional excellence, devotion to students, and contributions to a positive school climate.

Each site nominee was then interviewed by a panel of peers and administrators to determine the District’s winner.

“This is my favorite day of the year,” Superintendent Vincent Matthews told the audience. “We celebrate teaching and the people who make a difference in the lives of our students every day.”

Rights and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary; claim that the process to elect Napolitano as the guest speaker was an undemocratic one and that “the Laney College student government passed a resolution demanding that the college uninvited Napolitano as its commencement speaker.”

Department of Homeland Security website. Marisol Zavala Suarez, a student at Laney College, said, “I’m a student that has been directly affected by Janet Napolitano. I have family members that have been deported to Mexico, they were tax payers, they were not being supported by the system.”

Napolitano is the former Secretary of Homeland Security and current president of the University of California system. As the Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano “has been a pioneer in coordinating federal, state, local and bi-national homeland security efforts,” according to the

Oscar Sorto is an AB540 student who will be graduating from Laney College this month. For two months he has been working against having Napolitano speak at his graduation. Sorto accused Elñora Tena Webb, the President of Laney College, of ignoring the student government resolu-

Sorto is undocumented and has crossed the border twice.

Coming from El Salvador, he claims that his country was at war because its people were fighting for their dignity. He continues “I have nothing but my dignity. If I have to fight, I’m not gonna be sitting at my graduation while someone that has been persecuting my community is speaking to me about my future.” Sorto is ready to face deportation even if “I have to cross the border a third time,” in order to make his voice heard.

The supporting members that opposed Napolitano’s presence at the graduation were students, community members, union representatives and members of the Laney College staff. Kyle McCoy, a UC Berkeley student and former student of a Peralta Community College said, “If she is there at the graduation, there will be a mass demonstration.” David Douglass, a senior at UC Berkeley and a national immigrant rights

and civil rights organizer with BAMN presented the board with hundreds of signatures of Laney and Merritt College students on a petition demanding that Napolitano be uninvited.

Several speakers, including Douglas, reference the Black Panther movement and its birth in the Peralta District Colleges in connection to the history of civil rights.

Tensions grew when Dr. Carole Ward Allen, Adjunct Professor at Laney College said that what disturbed her the most is that “half of the people that come to you in honor of representing Peralta District of Laney College don’t go to Laney. They’re not even members of the Oakland community.” Sorto was quick to ask if she would like to see his student identification. Others, such as Yvette Felarca of BAMN, joined Sorto in clarifying that they are Oakland residents.

No comment was made on behalf of the Board of Trustees at the meeting.

The members of BAMN and supporters against hav-

ing Napolitano as the keynote speaker were escorted out of the meeting by authorities as they chanted “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Napolitano’s got to go.” Abel Guillen, President of the Peralta Community College District Board of Trustees, and officials of the Board of Trustees could not be reached for comment.

Guillen has put out a Commencement Message through the Peralta Community College District website dated May 16, 2014.

Through his message he states that “an internal committee process driven by the input of students, faculty, staff and administration” organizes the planning of the commencement ceremony He further asks “that all of those attending commencement exercises respect the students and their families and friends, as well as the faculty and staff assembling in celebration of our graduates by honoring students as the reason and focus of commencement.”

The graduation is scheduled to take place on May 24, 2014.

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION Improvements in health care and lifestyles mean more of us are living longer than ever before. But with that bonus of extra years also comes worries for many of us about the natural reductions in our abilities that occur as we age.

Most of us can accept that our physical strengths decline with age, even beginning at a fairly young age (yes, you’re only forty-one, but your teenage son will probably outrun you). What remains a source of stress is that our mental capabilities will also diminish as we get older.

The most immediate sign of the apparent “decline” is when we find we can’t remember things. Whether we’re thirty-five or sixty-five when we begin to notice lessened memory power, it’s often stressful and possibly frightening.

The reality, of course, is that we all forget things, regardless of our age. As a teenager there were homework assignments or promises to parents that slipped your mind just as easily as the name of that colleague you saw at lunch yesterday. The difference is that back then you thought it no big deal, while now you’re sure it’s a sign that old age has you in its grips.

Experts say that for most people the decline in memory is actually very gradual and usually isn’t obvious until age 70 or later. And simple memory loss is not necessarily a sign of dementia. While dementia does cause memory loss, it also includes declines in cognitive and intellectual functions such as comprehension, judgment, learning capacity and reasoning.

So while having some trouble remembering doesn’t mean you’re slipping into senility, if you’re finding it increasingly troublesome, consider ways to improve memory.

Good starting points are eating a healthy diet, staying physically active and getting plenty of rest. All can help combat memory loss while helping you feel and function better overall.

Mental health experts also advise that memory can be improved and preserved through training and practicing memory skills. There are numerous books, computer programs, and online sites with exercises to improve memory.

Learning a new skill, like cooking or chess, is another way to challenge and strengthen your mind.

But, if memory issues are truly bothering you, consider consulting your physician or a professional counselor. A counselor specializing in aging can offer diagnostic tests, as well as techniques, strategies and advice to make memory loss less of an issue in your life.

Cerca de 17,000 mujeres se ven afectadas con el virus del papiloma.

(NAPSM) Si hubiera una vacuna para prevenir un cáncer que mata a 4,000 mujeres cada año, ¿la conseguiría para sus hijas?

Patti Casa está lista para recordarle que el cáncer de cuello de útero puede afectar a cualquiera.

“Cuando me diagnosticaron cáncer de cuello de útero, me encerré en mí misma. Al principio, no quería contarle a nadie. Pero mi historia puede ayudar a otras mujeres, y no hay nada de qué avergonzarse. No quiero que nadie se convierta en una estadística, todas las mujeres deben saber que el conocimiento es poder”.

Cada año, alrededor de 4,000 mujeres mueren a causa del cáncer de cuello de útero en Estados Unidos, incluso después de realizarse pruebas de detección y tratamiento. Además, cerca de 17,000 mujeres se ven afectadas por cánceres relacionados con el VPH cada año. VPH son las iniciales de virus del papiloma

humano, un virus común. En hombres y mujeres, el VPH puede causar cáncer de ano y cáncer de boca y garganta (cáncer de orofaringe). También puede causar cáncer de cuello de útero, vulva y vagina en mujeres y cáncer de pene en hombres.

Lo notable es que la mayoría de estos tipos de cáncer se puede prevenir con una vacuna contra el VPH. La Dra. Anne Schuchat, asistente cirujano general y directora del Centro Nacional de Inmunización y Enfermedades Respiratorias, Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés), dijo: “Tenemos una vacuna contra el cáncer que es segura y eficaz. Asegúrese de que los niños de 11 a 12 años se vacunen. Ninguna niña debería sufrir de cáncer de cuello de útero en el futuro”.

Patti agregó, “tuve 35 sesiones de radiación y ocho sesiones de quimioterapia.

Realmente me hubiera gustado ser ma-

dre. La quimioterapia me quitó esa posibilidad. Insto a las madres a cuidar de sí mismas y a consultar al médico para realizarse pruebas de Papanicolaou, incluso si usted está sana, y a proteger a sus hijos con la vacuna”.

“Mi esposo fue un gran apoyo y nunca me cuestionó. De hecho, él es quien investigó sobre el cáncer de cuello de útero, vino a mí y me educó. Había días en los que no quería hacerme quimioterapia, pero él me hacía vestir y me decía ‘‘¡vamos!’ Ahora los dos estamos dedicados a educar a la comunidad latina y a asegurarnos de que nuestras sobrinas, sobrinos y otros niños que conocemos se vacunen. Queremos que estén protegidos antes de que empiecen a pensar en citas, matrimonio o en una familia”, dijo.

Si todavía no ha vacunado a su hijo contra el VPH, o no ha completado la serie de tres dosis, llame al médico o enfermero de su hijo hoy mismo. Si tiene un hijo adolescente que aún no fue vacunado, no es demasiado tarde.

Cinthia Rodriguez El Observador Memorial Day serves as a great reminder to recognize all of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. For those who make it back, they are faced with many challenges that can lead them to be unhoused. Despite their years of service to this Country, veterans represent a disproportionate number of the homeless population.

A year ago, the Veterans Housing Facility opened its doors in San Jose to help veterans transition to permanent housing. The facility was previously located in Menlo Park as part of the Veterans Affairs (VA) Palo Alto Health Care System.

They have been open for 14 years and have helped more than 7,000 veterans.

said Kyle Terzian, program manager. “We just had one guy come in from North Carolina. It doesn’t matter where the veteran is at anywhere in the country if they can make it here and they need housing and support, that’s what we’ll do.”

Studies indicate that the needs of veterans are unique, and experience higher rates of mental health and substance dependence problems. The facility offers a number of services that include job placement programs, relapse prevention classes. There is Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings and Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) meetings. The facility also offers church services on Sundays.

The facility works with veterans who were trying to survive on fixed incomes.

The oldest homeless veterans they currently serve are in their 80’s. It is also serving a 24-year-old Afghanistan War veteran.

“We’re real successful because people come here and they leave with permanent housing,” said Terzian.

The facility is a non-profit organization that receives partial funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as charitable funding from community organizations and corporations. They do outreach and get referrals primarily from VA and other agencies.

Veronica T. Avendaño EL OBSERVADOR With the March closure of National Hispanic University located in east San Jose, the National Hispanic University Foundation and Santa Clara University have found a new use for the campus.

The former NHU campus will serve as a three part entity---a graduate and teaching credential program satellite campus for Santa Clara University’s School of Education and Counseling Psychology, relocation of the foundation’s charter schools- Latino College Preparatory Academy and Roberto Cruz Leadership Academy, and the opening of the Hispanic Research and Policy Center.

NHU’s current students will be allowed to finish their studies. Students enrolled in the credential program will now have the opportunity to transition from their current program to the concurrent credential and masters of arts in teaching degree program headed by Santa Clara University’s Nicholas Ladany, dean of the School of Education and Counseling Psychology.

“We’re also going to be offering pretty significant scholarships to students who are able to demonstrate a commitment to working with underserved Hispanic commu-

nities,” said Ladany. Ladany said a top value of SCU is to demonstrate a commitment to multiculturalism and social justice. Scholarships will also be offered to students in the credential program to help with the transition. The program begins mid-June.

NHU’s current charter schools, Latino College Preparatory Academy and Roberto Cruz Leadership Academy, will call the 2004 renovated campus home, a big change from the charter schools’ older facilities.

“The concept is that we would tie the charter schools, that are going to be on site, into the teacher credential program that Santa Clara will be offering on the site,” said NHU Foundation President Ed Alvarez. “That credential program will then have the opportunity to look at these schools as demonstration schools.”

The Roberto Cruz Leadership Academy will focus on leadership in teaching. “The intent is to reach down into the community in middle schools and start encouraging students and their parents to think about pursuing teaching as a career,” said Alvarez. “Our goal is to get more of our kids interested in teaching, and to give them a clear pathway so we can end up with more teachers who are both bilingual and under-

stand the problems because they have experienced them.”

NHU also plans to open up another charter school named after Chicano playwright Luis Valdez. The Luis Valdez Leadership Academy will be located at Yerba Buena High School and will focus on drama, visual arts and media. All three charter schools will collaborate with the SCU teaching credential program.

All NHU charter schools are open enrollment, accepting students on a rolling basis. Charter school students and faculty will relocate early July.

The last component of the campus, the Hispanic Education and Research and Policy Center will open in the summer headed by Executive Director Dr. David Lopez.

The center will focus on the design, testing, and evaluation of teaching strategies for Hispanic educational success.

The center will also work closely in education based policy, to help implement educational equity for schools in areas with a dense Hispanic population. “[the center] will really be the arm that does the research, and designs whatever programs are necessary to bridge the charter schools and the credential programs,” said Alvarez.

FASHION & BEAUTY

(BPT)

VIVA MEJOR El otro día estábamos en mi cuarto preparándonos para salir a la escuela, y mientras te mirabas en el espejo me preguntaste “¿puedo pintarme los labios?”. Sin pensarlo dos veces te dije que “no”. Para mi sorpresa, tu respuesta fue “pero no me veo linda sin pintura”.

En un primer momento tu comentario me causó gracia, otra ocurrencia tuya, pensé.

Pero un segundo más tarde mi reacción fue otra. Sentí temor de que pensaras que necesitas maquillaje para verte bella. “Eres hermosa, con tu cara limpia y sin

nada”, te dije. Me sonreíste y comenzaste a hablar de otra cosa. Yo, respiré aliviada.

Pero me quedé pensando en otras cosas que me gustaría que supieras y que en ese momento no se me ocurrió decirte.

Como que un lápiz labial del color más lindo pierde gracia si no sonríes o si tus palabras no demuestran respeto y compasión por los otros.

O que puedes hacerte 20 peinados hermosos con tu cabello, pero que al final del día, esos peinados se desarman y nunca serán tan importantes como tus ideas,

que te ayudarán a madurar y a alcanzar todos tus sueños.

Ten presente también que nacimos sin ropa y que la moda, aunque es hermosa y apasionante, es pasajera. En cambio tus raíces, tu cultura y tus valores no lo son.

Siempre estarán contigo y te harán ser única y auténtica dondequiera que vayas.

Por favor no dudes, que el mejor tratamiento de belleza para tu alma es encontrar en la vida lo que te haga feliz, y ponerle todas tus ganas y pasión para hacerlo lo mejor posible. El secreto: no te rindas nunca.

Y cuando no te guste una foto tuya por favor ten claro que es solo una imagen. Un instante donde no es posible captar tus otros miles de instantes en lo que eres graciosa, tierna, compasiva, dulce, generosa e inteligente.

Por eso no dejes que una imagen te dicte cómo te ves a ti misma.

Quiero que crezcas sabiendo que tu belleza nace y vive adentro tuyo y es mucho más grande e importante que el color de labios que te pongas ese día.

Y nunca te olvides que para mí eres y siempre serás la más hermosa.

Whether you are a recent grad or someone re-entering a professional work environment, building a work wardrobe that strikes a balance between professionalism and personal style is key.

“Dress for the job you want, not the job you’re being hired for,” says Stephanie Thomas, fashion instructor at The Art Institute of California - Los Angeles, a campus of Argosy University. “Your job description, and that of the next step up your career ladder, should be the driving force behind your apparel purchases,” adds Stephanie Pierotti, fashion instructor at The Arts Institute of Las Vegas. To get you started, fashion experts from The Art Institutes system of schools offer tips to have you dressing for the corner office.

Suit up “I know it sounds boring, but a suit is an absolute must,” says Thomas. “Look upon your suit purchase as a long term investment,” adds Pierotti. “This is not an area where you’ll want to skimp.

Seasonless fabrics, like lightweight wool, worsted wool and wool crepe are your best bets.” She recommends purchasing a suit in a classic color such as black, gray, tan or navy blue and saving the more trendy colors and patterns for your accessories.

Thomas says to also think about the colors in your current wardrobe and look for a suit that can be interchangeable with pieces you already own. For women, a suit with both pants and a skirt will offer more variety. You should

also feel comfortable in your suit. A good fit will make you look polished, professional and more confident. “The chances of you finding a suit that fits you perfectly off the rack is slim to none, so be sure to budget some funds for tailoring,” says Thomas.

Wardrobe building blocks You will also need some staples that will serve as wardrobe building blocks that enable you to walk right into a new job. “Women should purchase two or three button-down shirts of a good fit and quality. Men may want to purchase five, if button-downs are a staple in their field,” says Pierotti.

For women, a wrap dress is a great alternative to pants and a button down. Women can also incorporate knit shirts that will mix and match with their suit separates.

For men, a sports jacket in an all-weather fabric is a good investment. “Think less trend, more modern classic that will cut across many seasons,” says Thomas.

“Men and women need a great blazer and some type of sweater they can dress up or down.” Both men and women can mix in sweaters and cardigans to go with their separates. Pierotti advises, “Look for versatile items that can take you from desk to dinner and from workdays to weekends. Also consider a dark or black jean for casual days at the office.

Shoes To put your best foot forward at a new job, make sure you also have professional

footwear to go with your new wardrobe. Pierotti recommends two pairs of practical shoes for day-to-day work life and one or two for more formal events, in neutral colors such as brown, gray and black. And for women, 4 inches should be the maximum height for a professional setting.

Accessories Don’t forget about accessories, which can add personality to your outfits. “Men should have a couple of ties with a little bit of personality, meaning different patterns or maybe a bold color,” says Thomas. For women, necklaces and bracelets can add a pop to an outfit, but less is more when considering jewelry. Make sure you don’t forget to use an appropriate purse or messenger bag and no matter where you live, you should have a professional trench in your wardrobe.

Tailoring and maintenance Once you’ve built your wardrobe, you’ll want to keep it neat and polished. To make you clothing look custom made, find a good tailor who can make small tweaks to your garments. A garment steamer, a clothes shaver, stain remover sticks and fabric freshener sprays will help save on dry cleaning costs, by helping your garments looking and smelling fresh.

“Investing in core pieces lays a solid foundation for your new professional wardrobe,” says Pierotti. “You’ll create a classic yet stylish work collection that makes you feel confident and professional.”

(Notimex) La cantautora mexicana Carla Morrison, que con una breve trayectoria artística ha logrado una exitosa respuesta de parte del público, asegura que ser artista independiente requiere de un gran esfuerzo.

“Ser independiente es una chi… Ahorita estoy sentada aquí. Hoy dormí tres horas y seguimos trabajando, tengo a mi management y la gente que me ayuda, pero al final del día, si yo digo no, es no, si digo sí, es sí y todo recae en uno. Yo me parto la ma… todos los días”, comentó Morrison.

Carla, quien a través de sus cuentas oficiales procura apoyar a las bandas o exponentes de la música que desean abrirse paso en el espectáculo, recordó que cuando el éxito le llegó a manos llenas, fue difícil digerirlo porque no se lo esperaba.

En la actualidad sigue padeciendo del pánico escénico y “lucho contra las voces en mi cabeza que me dicen que no lo voy a lograr o que voy a fallar, eso nunca se va”.

Sin embargo, ella sigue adelante apoyándose en Dios que, asegura, le da fe, coraje y valentía para cantar sobre un

“Hoy en día México es ciertamente uno de los lugares en donde los cineastas pueden crear más libremente», declaró el también director y productor mexicano en una entrevista concedida al diario «Le Monde» en Cannes, en donde participa como miembro del jurado de la Palma de Oro. Gael puso como ejemplo de su afirmación a dos de sus competidores, destacó el rotativo vespertino galo.Se trata de los directores Carlos Reygadas y Amat Escalante, galardonados ambos en los últimos años con el Premio a la Mejor Dirección en Cannes y conocidos por su cine vanguardista y poco convencional.

En la entrevista, Gael habló del décimo aniversario que cumplirá el año próximo Canana, la productora que fundó junto

De la relación con sus fans, platicó que es muy estrecha,

Nos hemos convertido en un elemento de una comunidad organizada», comentó Gael sobre la productora de la que el principal crítico de ‘Le Monde’, que firmó el artículo, destacó que «apoya a la vez a autores confidenciales y producciones destinadas a un público más amplio».

El periódico destacó que en Cannes, Gael García Bernal «aprovecha el tratamiento real que se le reserva como miembro del jurado. A sus 35 años el actor mexicano es un veterano del festival», subrayó el diario de referencia de Francia.

(NOTIMEx) Con más de nueve millones de visitantes en 2013 el Museo del Louvre mantuvo un año más el liderazgo mundial en el ranking de visitantes, un éxito que ha provocado el lanzamiento de un plan de obras y reformas en el museo.

De acuerdo al último balance oficial, el museo que alberga en sus salones la Gioconda, y que se encuentra en plena mutación luego del nombramiento de un nuevo director el año pasado, recibió en 2013 un total de 9.3 millones de visitantes de todo el mundo.

Las cifras muestran que el Louvre, que atesora más de 38 mil obras de arte en sus 60 mil 600 metros cuadrados, aventaja en casi tres millones de visitantes al segundo museo del mundo más visitado, el British Museum de Londres y al tercero, el Metropolitan de Nueva York.

El éxito de público ha provocado sin embargo múlti-

ples problemas de aglomeraciones, de mala calidad de atención y de seguridad, entre otros, que para solucionarlos, el nuevo director del museo, Jean-Luc Martínez, ideó varios proyectos.

El más llamativo de sus planes se denomina “Pirámide” y consistirá en la ampliación y remodelación de la entrada de la pirámide de cristal del atrio del museo, que pasará a tener cinco entradas en vez de tres como actualmente.

Las obras en la pirámide, que comenzarán a mediados de este mismo año, permitirán duplicar el acceso de visitantes y una mejor acogida del público, de acuerdo a fuentes del museo del Louvre.

Es uno de los cambios que el nuevo “presidente y director” de acuerdo a la denominación de su cargo oficial, tiene previsto acometer en el museo más famoso del mundo que en 2015 abrirá además una gran sucursal en Abu Dabi.

Se trata de la mayor “exportación” realizada por uno de los grandes museos parisinos que en los últimos años han abierto sucursales en otras ciudades francesas como Lens, norte, en el caso del Louvre, o Metz, este, en el caso del Centro Pompidou de Arte Contemporáneo.

El Louvre de Abu Dabi estará ubicado en un edificio de una cúpula espectacular diseñado por el arquitecto galo Jean Nouvel, creador del Museo del Quai Branly de París, el último gran museo parisino en construirse ubicado al lado de la Torre Eiffel.

Una parte importante de la colección del Louvre en el futuro museo de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos se expone desde el pasado 2 de mayo en París bajo el nombre de “Nacimiento de un museo”.

Se trata de una selección de 160 obras de todas la épocas artísticas procedentes de casi todas las regiones del mundo que se expondrán en el futuro museo LouvreAbu Dabi a partir del año próximo.

BPA exposure has been linked to a host of human health issues, including cognitive and behavioral development in young children. These concerns have led the European Union, Canada—and more recently the U.S.—to ban the use of BPA in baby bottles and other items geared toward babies and children. Coralie Mercier, courtesy Flickr.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EARTHTALK

Mario Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Por naturaleza buscamos cada día ser mejores seres humanos, deseamos paz y sosiego espiritual, por ello es necesario alimentar el espíritu con virtudes como “la generosidad”. Siempre trate a los demás como le gustaría ser tratado, no vea los defectos de las personas, mejor enfóquese en lo grande que cada quién tiene para dar. Al ser generoso está creando una aura positiva que a la larga le llevará a conquistar todos sus deseos. Una persona generosa es alguien que siempre es bienvenido en todas partes, una palabra de aliento, una sonrisa, un gesto de amabilidad le hacen ser generoso.

La generosidad es una virtud que debe cultivarse a diario, al ser generoso con los demás está siendo generoso consigo mismo porque del modo

que da así recibirá. Se puede ser generoso de muchas maneras, cuando alguien necesite de su comprensión y de su apoyo y lo brinda sin esperar nada a cambio, en ese momento está siendo generoso. La amabilidad, la cordialidad, la tolerancia y el respeto al derecho ajeno forman parte de la generosidad.

Cuando se es generoso con el prójimo, el universo confabula a su favor para que logre lo que más desea, para que se abran las puertas de la buena suerte y para que otros seres humanos sean generosos con usted.

Cuando despierte por la mañana agradezca a Dios por un día más de vida, agradezca por lo que tiene, por su familia, por su trabajo, por su buena salud, el agradecimiento es una de las formas más fáciles de ser generoso.

Si atraviesa por situaciones

difíciles, no se dé por vencido, siga siendo generoso y el karma obrará milagros en su persona. Cuando pueda dedique tiempo para hacer obras sociales, ayude a los más necesitados o sirva como voluntario en obras benéficas. No se preocupe si al ser generoso no reciba inmediatamente lo mismo a cambio, el aura que genere con su generosidad le hará recibir bendiciones de donde menos lo espere. Sea generoso con su familia, expréseles cuanto les quieres, llame a sus amigos y deséeles buena suerte, sea generoso con las personas que se encuentre en la calle, sea cortés con todo el mundo, aprecie la naturaleza y conviértase en un protector de la creación. Toda la energía, bondad y generosidad que proyecte al exterior retornará como un bumerang que le hará gozar de paz, armonía, buena vibra y felicidad.

Some 93 percent of us carry traces of the synthetic compound Bisphenol A (BPA) in our bloodstreams, so it’s no wonder that public health advocates are concerned about its potential effects.

Developed in the 1950s to strengthen plastics and epoxy resins, BPA is today used in a wide range of products, including many plastic food and drink containers, the lining of most cans, some paper products, and dental sealants.

But with widespread use of BPA has come increased scrutiny regarding its potential impact on human health. When ingested, BPA mimics naturally occurring human hormones and thus can potentially interfere with the body’s endocrine and reproductive workings.

According to the nonprofit Breast Cancer Fund, previous research has linked BPA exposure with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, miscarriages, decreased birth weight at term, breast and prostate cancer, reproductive and sexual dysfunctions, altered immune system activity, metabolic problems and diabetes in adults, and cognitive and behavioral de-

velopment in young children.

These concerns have led the European Union, Canada— and more recently the U.S.— to ban the use of BPA in baby bottles and other items geared toward babies and children.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) maintains that typical lowlevel BPA exposure does not pose any health risk. A February 2014 study by FDA researchers found that low doses of the compound did not affect the health of rats over a 90-day study period. While study rats exposed to higher doses of BPA had lower body weights, abnormal female reproductive development and altered hormone levels, there were no such effects in rats exposed to lower doses more akin to what humans experience.

But critics point out some flaws in that study which call its conclusions into question.

For one, a control group of rats that was supposed to remain unexposed to BPA somehow had levels of the compound in their blood equivalent to the lowestdose study population. FDA researchers maintain that this contamination of the control group did not affect their results because neither

group of rats showed any effects given their low-dose exposure. Another issue is that the researchers did not look at neurological effects such as changes in learning, memory and behavior.

“What needs to follow is whether these exposures are causing neurobehavioral changes,” Harvard epidemiologist Joe Braun told Environmental Health News, adding that previous research has shown that estrogen receptors in the brains of rats were triggered by low doses of BPA. “Hopefully [the FDA] will address that down the road.”

More research is underway still. The February 2014 FDA study is part of an ongoing two-year assessment of the toxicity of BPA. Dozens of university studies are also in progress to shed more light on just how risky our use of BPA may be. Consumers should continue to take precautions to limit their intake of BPA by avoiding polycarbonate plastic food and drink containers and metal cans, and by refraining from putting plastic items in the microwave—a process that can expedite the leaching of BPA into food.

(Notimex) Sin definir aún en qué partido irá cada uno de los porteros convocados a la Selección Mexicana, los tres guardametas dispondrán de 90 minutos para ganarse la titularidad para la Copa del Mundo de Brasil 2014, explicó el director técnico Miguel Herrera.

En conferencia de prensa en el Centro de Alto Rendimiento (CAR) de la Federación Mexicana de Futbol (FMF), el estratega adelantó que Jesús Corona, Alfredo Talavera y el recién integrado Guillermo Ochoa realizan trabajo específico, aunque aún no ha definido quién iniciará ante Israel el próximo miércoles en el estadio Azteca, en el partido del Tri ante su afición.

“Se ha tenido trabajo específico con ellos, todos tienen el tiempo igualito, no hay diferencia con ninguno. Van a tener un partido completo cada uno, y cuando venga el cuarto partido, la semana previa al juego inaugural, ahí empezaremos a decidir cuál de los tres a nuestro gusto ha destacado más para lo que nosotros pretendemos”.

(Notimex) Los jugadores de la Selección Mexicana de futbol quieren tener una gran participación en la Copa del Mundo Brasil 2014 y dedicarla al centrocampista Juan Carlos Medina, quien abandonó la concentración por una lesión.

“Lo conozco bien, desde Atlas, era mi compañero de cuarto. Es una tristeza en lo individual y para el equipo, es un golpe duro perderse un Mundial de esa manera, por que sé cómo ha sufrido para estar aquí, para ganarse un lugar”, declaró Andrés Guardado.

Anticipó, “vamos a tratar de hacer un gran torneo como él hubiera querido, y desearle una pronta recuperación, su carrera sigue, tiene un gran talento y ojalá la vida y el juego le den una revancha.

Comentó que durante el transcurso de los días platicaron, y el centrocampista analizaba bien su decisión porque no estaba al ciento por ciento.

A su vez, el campeón olímpico Oribe Peralta expresó: Lástima por el Negrito. Es un gran jugador, una excelente persona y vamos a tratar de apoyarlo, de hablar, velar por él y decirle que lo vamos a representar de la mejor forma.

de León, que se coronó campeón del torneo Clausura 2014 de la Liga MX, de Giovanni dos Santos y de Héctor Moreno, únicos europeos que faltan por reportar, Herrera resaltó el buen ambiente que hay en el grupo de 17 elementos reunidos en el CAR. Memo (Ochoa) y (Andrés) Guardado fueron los que llegaron casi sin vacaciones. Guardado tuvo tres días porque tuvo cosas que hacer en Valencia.

Memo llegó el lunes por la noche (a la capital) y el martes ya estaba aquí. ¿Qué me parece esto? Es la determinación y las ganas de estar, de mostrar que están listos para competir», enfatizó.

Herrara también valoró el punto de vista de los seis jugadores que aún no se concentran con el Tri, los cuatro campeones del futbol mexicano, junto con Héctor Moreno y Giovanni dos Santos.

Los demás, también notables, que quieran tomar vacaciones es importante, que también se despejen un poco de la cabeza y que lleguen bien, expresó.
