Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

An assumption made is that the U.S. Congress did not permit default on any current valid obligation for the conduct of this nation’s business. The ‘full faith and credit’ of this nation must be maintained.

All Congressional elected officials must ensure that their personal stewardship actions do not damage the ‘full faith and credit’ of the American dollar as a stable monetary system. If members of Congress did not vote to end the current shutdown of the American federal government, then they, by their vote, have identified themselves as the most destructive elected officials who did not support American society, its core values and ideals, its econmy and its standing as a world power. These are elected reprewho are not meeting the standards of national stewardship required to make the decisions supporting America as the best demonstration of what democratic government of the people, by the people and for the people’ has accomplished as a nation. Demoracy must enable the greatest number of us to enjoy the abundant resources which America and the world possess today.

Elected officials who do not support American ideals deserve no re-election.

Assuming default was avoided, there are still several public policy matters which must be addressed by the U.S. Congress. First, it must begin to do its job which is to conduct the business of THE PEOPLE rather than those of special interests. Major public policy categories are: 1) The Social Security Program required funding. 2)

OPINION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

OCTOBER 18 - 24, 2013

Re-establishement of the Middle Class consumer society; 3) Reform the Income Tax system; 4) Deal with the improvement of the infrastructures which enable the domestic economy; 5) Support domestic security by maintaining its military forces and securing its national borders. 6) Continue supporting research, education and training, and 7) begin to find ways for this nation to live within its means.

1) SOCIAL SECURITY: If any Social Security funds have been borrowed for the support of Federal services, these funds must be paid back. Social Security payments are not entitlements.

The workforce has paid into Social Security amounts matched by employers. Social Security must continues to be solvent. Too many citizens rely upon their monthly social security check to avoid being totally impoverished.

Include support for MediCare & Medicaid.

2) Re-establish the American Middle Class which supports the domestic consumer economy with its labor, creativity, innovation, and consumerism. The American consumer society makes America the current economic and military world power today. This will require the re-establishment of strategic and essential domestic manufacturing jobs which pay living wages. Creativity and innovation happen in an entrepreneur’s vision of a future desired state; it does not happen in a corporation which ususally acquire valuable innovations through mergers or acquisitions.

3) Reform the Income Tax system by closing all loopholes and ending all subsidies. The present income disparity was caused by capitalist executives focusing upon high profits for their stockholders and other stakeholders. When wealth is stashed in offshore banks, it is not working as an investment

which creates more wealth and jobs. The only means of redistributing wealth today is through taxation and altruistic contributions to nonprofits. Much must be done to ensure the social safety net keeps on working to provide essential services and goods to those who are disabled, unemployed, or impoverished. Innovative ways must be developed to support the needy while not satisfying the greedy. The current inequity of income and wealth distribution is the result of the strategic placement of ‘influence’ money and employment of advocates (lobbyists). This must be mitigated.

4) As soon as possible, initiate the improvement of the infrastructures which enable the national economy. Use American labor and materials to maximize middle class jobs.

5) Support the security of America by maintaining its military forces and securing its national borders. Adequatly fund the Department of Homeland Security to enable the effective administration and management of the new comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

6) Fund education, research and training to enable development of an American labor force which has the skills and capabilities needed by our domestic economy.

7) Find ways for this nation to live within its means and reduce its national debt.

Democracy requires governance wherein all abide by the same rules and all pay their fair share of taxes to fund and support the essential infrastructures and services. “Big government” and “No regulations” are not well defined by conservatives.

What is appropriate is a level of governance that supports equity and justice while letting residents pursue their lives in freedom, liberty and happiness.

¿Y al fin de cuentas, que estamos haciendo aquí? ¿No cree que sería una buena idea ser feliz? Es probable que el otoño lo deprima, o la cercanía del invierno, o la ausencia de trabajo o la monotonía o el cansancio o la vecina; el caso es que hay que hacer algo al respecto.

Así que vamos a citar aquí algunas cosas que pueden acercarnos a la felicidad y ayudarnos a salir de las rutinas que terminan entristeciéndonos. Para empezar vamos a hacer conciencia de que la felicidad es una cosa posible, que según los que saben, depende de nuestra actitud.

Entonces, vamos a ver cómo podemos ser más felices. Una de las claves, de acuerdo con los expertos es el ejercicio.

Hay quienes dicen que siete minutos al día son suficientes. Eso lo decide usted. ¿Cuánto tiempo quiere darle a su felicidad? El ejercicio tiene un efecto inmediato en su estado de ánimo y en su bienestar corporal y está comprobado que es una estrategia efectiva contra la depresión.

Duerma bien. El buen descanso lo hará menos sensible a las emociones negativas.

Eso es importante para la felicidad. De hecho, ¿Cuánto hace que no toma una siesta?

La calidad y la cantidad de su sueño nocturno determinarán definitivamente como se sentirá al despertar y puede hacer la diferencia a lo largo de su día.Viva cerca del lugar donde trabaja. Un corto recorrido diario del trabajo a la casa y de la casa al trabajo puede ser mucho más beneficioso que una casa grande. ¿Ha calculado el tiempo que invierte transportándose?

Puede jurar que un buen taco, atasco o trancón tendrán una injerencia negativa en su estado de ánimo, y eso se repetirá todos los días.

Pase tiempo con la gente que quiere. Aislarse o no tener contacto frecuente con familiares y amigos es una de las cosas que más lamentan los moribundos. No espere su turno. Comparta con los suyos ahora, sea feliz ahora.

El tiempo que invierte socializando es invaluable a la hora de capitalizar su felicidad, varios estudios han demostrado que pasar tiempo con nuestros seres queridos hace una gran diferencia. El experto en felicidad de la universidad de Harvard, Daniel Gilbert lo explica así: Somos felices cuando tenemos familia, somos felices cuando tenemos amigos y casi todas las otras cosas que creemos que nos hacen felices son simple-

3

mente formas de tener más familia y más amigos. Un detalle: ningún sueldo genera la felicidad que genera la amistad. Otro: aquellos que dan, suelen ser más felices.

Salga. El sol y los elementos de la naturaleza, son aliados de la felicidad. Se ha demostrado que pasar 20 minutos al aire libre en un día hermoso no solo mejora el estado de ánimo, si no que agudiza la mente y mejora la memoria.

Invierta en su diversión.

Vaya a donde le gusta cada vez que pueda; espectáculos, conciertos, cenas; esa inversión le traerá más felicidad que la adquisición de cosas materiales.Sonría. Sonreír, puede incluso, aliviar el dolor.

Sonreír, el simple hecho de sonreír, puede hacernos sentir mejor. Pero piénselo bien, no sonría para verse mejor o para parecer amable. Sonría de adentro, sienta su sonrisa, el único realmente beneficiado será usted.

Medite, comparta y sea agradecido, hacerlo aumentará seguramente sus posibilidades de ser feliz. ¡Ah! Y olvídese de una vez de esos resentimientos y esas rabias viejas, al único que dañan es a usted.Vea su película favorita, haga las cosas que le gustan, busque la felicidad y obsérvela cuando la tenga al frente, no la deje ir, al fin y al cabo, es suya.

The Plaza de Cezar Chavez in San Jose was filled with the sound of chanting on Saturday. People chanted to protect maize and the food people eat. Children, dogs, people who are concerned about the consequences of genetically engineered food marched to show their opposition to this food and for support of family farmers, farm workers and real food. They stated, “All those are threatened by the commercial process to fundamentally change the genes of the food itself, in order to patent the seeds and crops and keep exclusive control of them. This prevents farmers from saving and planting their own seed. It also raises their costs.” Monsanto was the multinational chemical company most referred to.

The sun shined down on the marchers, as they held their signs up high. One sign stated, “La Milpa es Biodiversidad. No Necesitamos Monsanto.” A sign in a child’s wagon read, “Hijo de Maiz.

Abajo Monsanto.” Another sign asked for, “No More Genocides. 1492 Columbus, Now Monsanto.”

Sergio Martinez, a founding member of La Defensa de Maiz, holding up colorful ears of ancient maiz, held the listeners attention as he spoke from his heart about the importance of protecting the children, the maiz, and future generations.

The San Jose Area coordinator of LabelGMOs spoke about the importance of stopping the Fast Track of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Mexico is one of the 12 countries in the process of negotiating this treaty, which would override Mexican environmental, health, safety and workers rights’ laws and the democratic process of the country. The treaty is being negotiated with no public disclosure. Leaked documents appear to show that it is large multinational corporations such as Monsanto and Walmart that are influencing the treaty.

It was announced to great applause that just two days

earlier a federal judge in Mexico City cited “the risk of imminent harm to the environment” from transgenic seeds and plants. He referred to “multinationals like Monsanto and Pioneeer,” which produce and patent the seeds which force genes of unrelated species into the DNA of plants, changing their genetics and the processes of every cell, with many unpredictable results.

He ordered the Secretaria de Agricultura and Mexico’s EPA to immediately “suspend all activities involving the planting of transgenic corn in the country, and end the granting of permission for experimental and pilot commercial plantings.” The article from Devon G. Pena also stated, “the judge emphasized that the government is obligated to protect the human rights of Mexicans against the economic interests of big business.”

As the rally wound down, the participants shared tomatoes and other non-transgenic traditional foods from a local farmers’ market.

Oaxaca de Juárez - El Instituto Oaxaqueño de Atención a Migrantes y el local 5 de UFCW (Sindicato de la Alimentación y del Comercio, por sus siglas en inglés) firmaron una carta compromiso con el objetivo de proteger los derechos de los migrantes y de sus familias en Estados Unidos. Este acuerdo beneficiará a más de 800,000 Oaxaqueños que viven en California, Estados Unidos.

Se trata del primer acuerdo de este tipo entre el movimiento laboral americano y una institución estatal oaxaqueña.

“Este innovador acuerdo refleja una nueva iniciativa en la lucha por los derechos de los trabajadores migrantes: una colaboración creciente entre diversos actores dentro de un contexto transnacional, declaró Gerardo Domínguez, Director de organización de UFCW local 5.

En representación de la Secretaría General de Gobierno del Estado de Oaxaca, el Dr. Ruben Vasconcelos declaró que las autoridades tienen el compromiso de atender a los migrantes, pero también el crear oportunidades para los trabajadores que escogen permanecer en su tierra.

“Para los que ya salieron es importante lograr alianzas con organizaciones que tienen el mismo fin, por eso se firma esta carta compromiso porque su objeto es establecer acciones coordinadas para proteger los de los derechos humanos y laborales de los migrantes”, señalo.

La sección local 5 de UFCW es un sindicato de 33,000 afiliados basado en San José, California. Esta sección local representa una voz progresista dentro del movimiento laboral y comunitario, con una fuerte tradición de activismo y compromiso social.

them see that you need their help to end early morning battles.

Is the average school day morning at your house a 3-ring circus?

Shouting parents, still sleepy kids, suddenly missing homework, and favorite clothing hiding somewhere? This is typical at far too many homes.

Step one is to make your kids more time responsible.

Time is a hard concept for younger children, so try a kitchen timer to help them finish breakfast and get dressed in a timely manner.

It doesn’t have to be like that. With a few simple changes you can help reduce that school-morning frustration, stress and anger.

A starting point is, that instead of blaming your kids, let them know you’re not happy with how you’re acting and that you’d like to change.

Get them involved by letting

For older kids, give them an alarm clock and let them choose the time to wake up and still be ready for school without making everyone rush. Agree on a “no-snoozealarm” rule.

Then set consequences.

Agree on a favorite something they’ll give up if they dawdle over breakfast or don’t get up on time. But

OCTOBER 18 - 24, 2013

also agree to your own consequence if you fall back into morning nagging to get them moving.

Next, turn off that distracting morning TV! Instead, try background music. Studies show it actually helps some kids focus better.

Then help your kids be better organized. Create an area where backpacks and books can go, then make sure that they’re in place before bedtime.

Clothing is another organization opportunity. Having the kids lay out the next day’s clothes before bed avoids morning panic over missing items. Make sure hats, mittens and shoes are also ready.

A common issue is that forgotten permission slip that needs to be signed, or the last minute lunch money search.

Set up an in-box for each child where papers that need signing must go right after school each day, and where the signed papers and lunch money are waiting in the a.m.

Make your child responsible for dropping off the needed papers and for remembering to take them in the morning.

If he forgets, then let him face the consequences.

Even with a good system, some mornings will still be hectic. But make your kids partners in getting organized and you’ll make most mornings more enjoyable, as well as give them skills that can help throughout life.

On Saturday, October 12, 2013, the San Adreas Regional Center conducted their 15th Annual ‘Service Above Self’ Awards Dinner at the Mediterranean Center, Airport Garden Hotel in San Jose.

EDUCATION

OCTOBER 18 - 24, 2013

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

By blurring the lines of play and education, you can develop an early love of learning, and set up your children for success.

(STATEPOINT) From fostering a love of science to building vocabulary, the toys your children play with can have a large impact on their interests and brain development. So when it comes to playtime, parents are becoming more selective.

With this in mind, smart toymakers are aiming to design toys that are not only fun but also foster learning.

For example, VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children, has assembled a team of child development experts to provide feedback on their toys before they hit the store shelves.

The members of VTech’s Panel of Experts are offering some helpful hints to parents looking to get “smart” about toys for their kids: • Get involved: “Toys can create a bonding experience between parent and child.

Look for toys that emphasize this connection,” says Dr. Helen Boehm, psychologist, author and parenting resource expert. “For example, a tablet that lets your kids

chat safely with you while you’re on-the-go is a great way to bond with them while they are having fun.”

•Age-appropriate: “Children’s brains develop at a remarkable pace, and their toys should keep up with their development,” says Dr. Lise Eliot, an early childhood mental development expert. “Toys that are too young or too old get boring or frustrating. Make sure you’re keeping your kids challenged with educational toys that are just right for their age.”

Consider child-sized, ageappropriate tablets that have the look and feel of adult mobile devices, but are packed with educational, stagebased learning content.

• Add it up: “Mathematical foundations provide the building blocks for future success, both in school and for the rest of a child’s life,” says Dr. Francis (Skip) Fennell, mathematics educator. “Support and encourage your children as they develop these important concepts and related skills at a young age, with toys that emphasize numbers, counting and beginning concepts with whole number operations.”

• Science and math: “You have probably heard a lot about the growing importance of integrating the learning of STEM – science, technology, engineering and mathematics in K-12 schools,” says Dr. Carla C. Johnson, science and STEM expert. “It is critical to foster a love and skills in STEM for boys and girls alike with educational toys that develop self-confidence in the use and application of technology.”

• Choose wisely: “Don’t get carried away with the bells and whistles. You and your kids will quickly look past those. Instead look for toys that actively engage your kids through technology, by deeply integrating games and learning,” says Dr. Eric Klopfer, platform learning expert.

• Build vocabulary: “Children absorb new information like sponges. Take advantage of their blossoming interests with interactive toys that highlight letters of the alphabet, the sounds letters make and vocabulary,” says Dr. Deborah Sharp Libby, early childhood language and reading expert. “Above all, don’t forget the importance of reading to, and with, your children often!”

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY Si alguien le dijera que hay una forma de ahorrarse cientos, o incluso miles, de dólares en impuestos simplemente tomándose unos minutos para revisar sus documentos y beneficios fiscales, ¿no le sonaría como uno de esos engaños publicitarios de la TV nocturna? Pues no lo es.

Todavía tiene un par de meses para ajustar los beneficios que le ofrece su empleador y aprovechar algunas de las deducciones fiscales que lo harán sonreír el próximo 15 de abril.

Estas son algunas estrategias a tener en cuenta: Plan 401(k). Si todavía no ha agotado sus aportes para 2013, pregunte a su empleador si puede aumentar sus aportes de su plan 401(k) por el resto del año. La mayoría de las personas puede aportar hasta $17.500 en 2013, más un adicional de $5.500 si tienen más de 50 años.

Si sus aportes son antes de impuestos, sus ingresos imponibles se reducen, lo que a su vez reduce sus impuestos.

Si aporta después de deducir impuestos, pagará impuestos sobre el monto ahora, pero el valor total de la cuenta, incluyendo los intereses obtenidos con los años, no será imponible cuando se retire. De cualquier modo, si su empleador le ofrece aportes compensatorios (básicamente, dinero gratis), usted debería aportar lo suficiente como para aprovechar al máximo esa compensación.

Cuentas de gastos flexibles (FSAs). Si participa de alguna cuenta FSA para gastos médicos o de dependientes ofrecida por su empleador que le permita usar dólares antes de impuestos para pa-

EXAMENES DE SALUD, EDUCACION Y DEMOS gar ciertos gastos elegibles, asegúrese de gastar todo el saldo antes del plazo anual del plan (a veces se extiende hasta 75 días del año siguiente); de lo contrario, perderá el saldo restante. Si cree que le quedará un saldo sin utilizar, vea qué gastos de 2014 podría pagar antes del 31 de diciembre de 2013.

Puede usar su cuenta FSA de gastos médicos para pagar copagos, deducibles e implementos médicos (ej. anteojos, lentes de contacto y correctores dentales). Nota: Con excepción de la insulina, los medicamentos de venta libre solo son elegibles con receta del médico.

Contribuciones benéficas.

Si planea detallar sus deducciones este año, las contribuciones benéficas realizadas a organizaciones aprobadas por el IRS antes del 31 de diciembre de 2013 suelen ser deducibles de impuestos. Si tiene un dinero extra y quiere pagar menos impuestos en 2013, puede hacer ahora las contribuciones que habría hecho en 2014.

Donaciones. La mayoría de las personas jamás llegará al límite de exención fiscal por donaciones de $5,25 millones en su vida –por encima del cual habría que pagar un impuesto del 40 por ciento.

Pero, si se siente generoso, recuerde que si ofrece donaciones por más de $14.000 este

año, deberá presentar una Declaración Fiscal de Donaciones junto con su declaración fiscal federal, aunque no necesariamente deba pagar ningún impuesto por ese monto. (Los matrimonios que presentan declaraciones conjuntas pueden donar $28.000 por receptor).

Conversión a la cuenta Roth IRA. Las personas con cualquier nivel de ingresos pueden convertir una parte o la totalidad de sus cuentas IRA tradicionales o planes 401(k) de ex empleadores en una cuenta Roth IRA. Con una cuenta Roth IRA, usted paga impuestos ahora, pero acumulará ganancias futuras libres de impuestos. Si todavía le falta mucho para retirarse o si cree que la tasa del impuesto a las ganancias cuando se retire será mayor a la actual, esta conversión podría ser conveniente.

No obstante, recuerde que los saldos convertidos (para ahorros antes de impuestos y sus ganancias) se suman a sus ingresos imponibles y, por lo tanto, aumentan sus impuestos y posiblemente tenga que pasar a otra categoría fiscal mayor. Solo asegúrese de no tener que pedir dinero prestado –especialmente de una cuenta de retiro—para pagar la carga fiscal adicional actual; de lo contrario, podría revertir la posible ventaja fiscal a largo plazo de pasarse a una cuenta Roth IRA.

Cinthia Rodriguez EL OBSERVADOR According to the American Diabetes Association almost 26 million children and adults live with diabetes and 79 million are at risk of developing type 2, making diabetes an epidemic. Regardless of the type, this disease can lead to serious and even fatal complications.

One of those complications is diabetic neuropathy, a condition of nerve damage in the body due to high blood sugar levels. As explained by Virginia Valentine, clinical nurse specialist, “the nerve damage occurs slowly over time and it occurs as damage to the microcirculation that serves the nerves and so they end up with damaged nerves.”

“Think of them like electrical circuits and so you’re getting signals that are false like little jabs or itching or prickly tingling, eventually numbness when the nerves are totally damaged,” said Valentine. “It’s a serious complication that is very frustrating, very disabling.”

High blood glucose levels over time can lead to dia-

Those employees or services that were seen as necessary remained active due to the Antideficiency Act. Now that the US entered the third week of the government shutdown there are those government furloughed employees whose bills and financial responsibilities are not shutting down any time soon. While many Ameri-

betic neuropathy. About 15 percent of people at the time that they are diagnosed with diabetes have some nerve damage. It’s quite subtle the way it develops, kind of slowly sneaking up on people.

That’s why it’s very important that individuals living with diabetes recognize it early on and treat it.

There are very obvious symptoms that include prickly-tingly feeling in the feet. They can also feel itchy and/or feel in pain, especially at night. If a diabetic is unsure, they can check for decent feeling or have their doctor test for vibratory sensation.

In 1998 Deborah Grona was diagnosed with diabetes.

By 2005 she was on insulin. Two years after that, she started noticing numbness at the very tips of her toes. It moved to the middle of her foot and then it went all the way up to her ankle. A burning and tingling sensation followed the numbness.

She started going to an endocrinologist who would test her feet every month. They noticed the neuropathy progressing. Grona described her experience as “tremen-

cans hear about the government shutdown and wonder what the cause, or really what it even means, around 3 billion dollars of unpaid money sits unclaimed because of the murky shutdown. According to the data aggregate company Enigma Labs, that is the amount of money that is unavailable to the approximately 883,392 out of work government employees, (as well as 1.3 million that are required to work without immediate pay).

The internet has allowed creation and destruction, but in the case of the furloughed

dous pain, like you’re walking on hot coals.” When the ends of her toes were becoming numb that’s when the trouble began.

It limited her for four years, to the bathroom, the bedroom, her home office and back. She stopped participating in family activities and/or couldn’t do a lot of things she ordinarily did.

Diabetic neuropathy occurs in a higher percentage of people in the United States who are Hispanic, African American and Native American in the United States.

These groups are more likely to have diabetes than the Anglo population.

“It’s a devastating complication,” said Valentine. “Sometimes people think, well how bad can this be, but the pain can very much limit your life and it’s progressive.”

The numbness makes the body unstable when standing or walking. It makes individuals clumsy, more likely to fall or get a sore on their feet.

That person can also step on something and wouldn’t even feel it, ending up with a wound that can’t heal because the circulation is poor.

That can lead to an amputation. Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in the U.S. “When you go to your doctor, always take off your shoes and socks because the physician is 7-8 times more likely to check your feet if you’re sitting there with bare feet than if you don’t,” said Valentine.

Keeping the blood sugar as close to normal as possible can help keep the neuropathy at bay. The American Diabetes Association recommends an A1C of 7%. Blood glucose control is really important as well as taking care of the feet, checking them daily, applying moisturizer and keeping them from getting calluses.

“It’s important to know that if you identify diabetes in the early pre-diabetes stage, many times it can be prevented and certainly delayed which is important,” said Valentine.

In 2010, Grona started taking the nerve pill Metanx along with her pain pills and after a year it made her feet feel much better. She has regained her ability to stand and walk for longer distances.

It’s first incarnation, only weeks ago, was a simplistic google doc spreadsheet which read “Welcome to the

Shutdown Startup Temp & Volunteer Work Board!” The crowd sourced website was started by the D.C. startup community 1776 and Blen Corp. After taking approximately 5 hours to create the document it went live, and after a few days it became heavily trafficked to the point where it was moved to a server which volunteers helped turn into its current, more user-friendly incarnation.

The swiftness of the Congress shutdown was only beaten by the speedy attempts to rebuild furloughed individual’s capacities to

generate income. Depending on how the government shutdown moves forward, Americans continue to push forward with ingenuity and a sense of community in times when the government cannot find that same unity.

Any furloughed employees should definitely look into this site for potential freelance employment now or in the future.

Como un buen vecino State Farm está ahi.® LLAMA A UN AGENTE DE STATE FARM HOY. Sandy Perry SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR From October 7 to 13, the March to Heal the Valley walked across Santa Clara County from its poorest communities to its richest enclaves. Beginning at the corner of Story and King in San Jose, it marched down Story Road past “The Jungle”, the homeless encampment identified by Business Insider as the largest in the United States. It rallied with students at San Jose State University against painful cuts caused by the government sequester.

The purpose of the march was to bring together the poor of Silicon Valley, and march to the gates of its wealthiest corporations to ask them to join a campaign to end poverty. The corporations have the power to force the government to change its priorities. In fact, corporations themselves indirectly caused the recent sequester cuts by relentlessly lobbying for corporate tax breaks.

March to Heal the Valley

asked them to lobby to end poverty instead.

It specifically asked the corporations to: •Offset the impact of the Federal sequester on the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara ($21 million).

•Guarantee good jobs and benefits for all security and service workers connected with Silicon Valley’s leading industries.

•Fund a Faith Center to bring together the faith community to house and serve the homeless.

•Join the campaign to demand that government end the housing crisis for everyone and bring about the total, direct, and immediate abolition of poverty as called for by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Hosted overnight by churches along the way, marchers crossed Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, arriving at Apple World Head-

quarters on October 9 and Google on October 10. There they rallied together with members of United Service Workers West, who called on the corporations to contract responsibly, especially with security companies. Security Industry Specialists (SIS) is currently mistreating its employees who work at Apple and Google.

Sponsors of the march included CHAM Deliverance Ministry, Exodus to Serenity, Silicon Valley Debug, Low-Income Self-Help Center, United Service Workers West, Voluntarios de la Comunidad, and others.

The spirit of the march showed that it is possible to end poverty. The love and unity the marchers felt for each other inspired them, and all who came around them, with the vision of a better world. Yes, we can build an economy based on cooperation where all of God’s people are treated with dignity and respect. But it will only happen if we ourselves have the faith to become the leaders we are looking for.

FASHION

(BPT) Fall fashion magazines can easily top 500 pages of skirts, tops, pants, coats and accessories; all deemed “musthaves” for the chilly weather ahead. The choices and trends can be staggering, but just because temperatures are falling doesn’t mean you need to drop a small fortune on a new wardrobe.

Fashion experts share six of the top trends for fall and how you can use them to make the most of the pieces already in your closet.

Animal print - “Look at any magazine and you’re going to see animal print,” says Stefani Bay, fashion instructor at The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago. She says everything is in animal print. Whether

black and white or a crazy color, this trend can be found on garments, shoes, bags and scarves. According to Bay, adding an animal print piece to any outfit in your closet will make you look “of the moment.”

Tweed - “Tweeds are a very important fashion story this fall,” says Emil DeJohn, fashion instructor at The Art Institute of Philadelphia.

Each year a variety of tweeds grace the runways of Fashion Week, but this year they are stealing the spotlight, especially in black and white versions of houndstooth, Donegal tweed, and herringbone.

“A tweed jacket is the perfect thing over something old,” says Bay, especially when it’s a colorful tweed over a colorful outfit. Other options include tweed scarves and even handbags.

Leather - “When isn’t leather right?” asks Bay. DeJohn agrees adding whether it’s trim, collar and cuff, or the entire jacket, leather is something every woman should have in her closet this fall. You can find this incredibly versatile textile in jeans, blouses and accents, but according to Bay, the big story for leather is the motorcycle jacket. You can find motorcycle jackets in all price points, made from leather, faux leather, vinyl or patent leather. Added to your closet it will make anything look more current.

Black and white - A perennial favorite of chic women the world over, black and white is a big trend for fall, especially when paired with a bright shocking color, says DeJohn. The perfect way to jazz up black and white is with a punch of the season’s

soft orange, citrus green, bright royal blue, gold or royal purple. “You can put anything black and white over a white shirt to look crisp and professional,” says Bay. You can also do the same with a black T-shirt or add a punch of black and white with a handbag.

Dresses - “Dresses made a major comeback. Every designer had a number of dresses in their collection,”

OCTOBER 18 - 24, 2013

says DeJohn. Dresses are easy, convenient and versatile. “They take you from day to evening,” says Bay. She recommends wearing a favorite dress with a motorcycle jacket and boots for day, and chandelier earrings and heels for evening. She cautions that the most important thing with dresses is fit.

And if you have an old dress with a great pattern or color, just add a motorcycle jacket to give it new life.

Hats and scarves - According to DeJohn, hats are also making a comeback. He says they are an easy and practical update to any outfit, with a variety to suit all face shapes.

Bay says scarves are another trend in fall accessories. For daytime, she recommends wearing a long woven scarf wrapped around multiple times, and for evening add a beaded scarf to a black dress.

Beach erosion is a huge issue for coastal areas in the U.S. and elsewhere. According to the non-profit American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA), all beaches endure storms and other natural disturbances that cause them to lose sand, but the causes of beach erosion are not always the same.

“On the West Coast, beaches are sand-starved when river dams block the flow of sand,” the group reports. That contrasts with Eastern beaches, they say, which often lack sand because inlets or navigation projects interrupt the movement of sand along the shore. “Things as disparate as storm-driven waves or a simple change in an offshore sandbar may cause one coas-

tal area to lose sand while another gains.”

protecting personal property and home values in coastal areas, but they won’t help prevent beach erosion.

“Ultimately, a beach erodes because the supply of sand to the beach can not keep up with the loss of sand to the sea,” says Ken Rubin, Assistant Professor of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Hawaii. “Most sand is transported from inland via rivers and streams. The damming of most waterways in the U.S. has thus prevented a major supply of sand from getting to our beaches.”

He adds that beach erosion can be exaggerated during periods of rapid sea level rise, such as that which we are expected to experience soon as a result of global warming melting the polar ice caps.

“When the encroaching sea comes against people’s property, the tendency is for people to try and stop the

According to ASBPA, physically adding sand to beaches to replace losses is really the best fix: “Coastal scientists have years of experience with beach restoration projects and have learned that adding sand in the right quantities, properly engineered and maintained, can make a beach last forever.”

Soil Science at North Carolina State, courtesy Flickr encroaching sea,” Rubin reports. “They armor the shoreline with seawalls, revetments, jetties, etc. [which] have a negative effect on beaches because once sea water reaches them, it ‘bounces’ off them with more energy

than a wave washing back off a normal sand beach.” The result is that more sand is carried off shore, promoting additional beach loss. And the increased severity and frequency of storms due to climate change only serves to further stir up the remaining sand at many beaches.

Unfortunately, beyond keeping our carbon footprints in check, there isn’t much that

individuals can do to prevent beach erosion. Building bulkheads in front of individual homes, or along entire beachfronts, may provide some short-term relief from beach erosion, but as often as not these actions can cause worse problems in the long run. And land use regulations that require homes and buildings to be built with a big buffer zone to the beach can go a long way toward

Of course the best solution to any problem, including beach erosion, is to address the causes, not the symptoms. Concerted global efforts to curb the emissions that are driving climate change and the elimination of dams along inland waterways are both urgently needed, lest we want to keep spending millions of dollars on remediation projects that just have to be repeated over and over again in what is essentially a losing battle.

Up And Coming Entertainer Known for “Be a Friend” Single on Mattel Records LOS ANGELES In a world full of aspiring young talent, where it’s a constant struggle to stand out, Alana Hyland is making a name for herself. The upand-coming singer, dancer and choreographer has just been announced as the latest artist who will be performing at La Femme International Film Festival, which recognizes women filmmakers.

Hyland is slated to perform two cover songs as well as one of her own original songs on October 20, closing out the three-day event.

Hyland, who garnered attention this summer with her pop single “Be a Friend” from Mattel’s latest Barbie film Mariposa and the Fairy Princess, is already working on her first album, a fuse of pop and hip-hop with a Latin flair, which is set to be released in January. Originally from Antioch, CA, Hyland, who now resides in Los Angeles, has been singing and dancing from the early age of nine. One of her first big breaks came in 2007 when she recorded vocals for The Spice Girls’ opening video for their 2007 World Tour.

Created in 2005 to recognize women behind the camera, including directors, producers and writers, who are often overlooked in such a male-dominated industry, the festival is a platform for both aspiring and established female filmmakers and creative cast to showcase their work. Past honorees have included Mackenzie Phillips, Wendi Mclendon-Covey and Francia Raisa just to name a few.

Also a dancer and choreographer, Hyland has already had the opportunity to dance for Zendaya (Disney’s “Shake It Up”) Dawn Richard (formerly of Danity Kane), Manny Pacquiao, and a Step Up 3D Promo (directed by Jon M. Chu). She’s earned a place in the dance world that allows her to be trained by some of the very best dancers and choreographers including Brian Friedman, Dave Scott and Tricia Miranda.

On DVD and On Demand on October 22 Danny Trejo (Machete), Anthony Michael Hall (The Dark Knight) and Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) star in this fiery, action-packed battle for vengeance. As a ruthless gang overruns a small mining town, they murder their own leader, Guerrero Hernandez (Trejo), in a coldblooded power grab.

Sentenced to eternity in hell, Guerrero finds himself confronted by Satan himself (Rourke), offering a daring proposition: deliver the six souls of his former gang and he will escape damnation. With time running out, he sets out on a brutal rampage to avenge his own death.

Una reimaginación de la historia clásica de horror sobre Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), una tímida muchacha que es marginada por sus compañeros y protegida por su madre profundamente religiosa (Julianne Moore), y quien libera el terror telekinético en su pueblo después de haber sido empujada demasiado lejos en su noche de graduación.

Basada en el best-seller de Stephen King, Carrie fue dirigida por Kimberly Peirce con un guión de Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.

One of the world’s foremost authorities on structural security agrees to take on one last job: breaking out of an ultra-secret, high-tech facility called “The Tomb.” Deceived and wrongly imprisoned, Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) must recruit fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to help devise a daring, nearly impossible plan to escape from the most protected and fortified prison ever built.

ESCAPE PLAN is the first pairing of action legends Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in leading roles, and co-stars Jim Caviezel, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Vinnie Jones, Vincent D’Onofrio and Amy Ryan.

Asimismo, se tocó la cuestión de convertir al raquetbol en un deporte olímpico, situación que ilusiona a Longoria, quien en los pasados Juegos Panamericanos Guadalajara 2011 obtuvo la medalla de oro; no obstante, dijo que que todavía no es nada seguro, aunque desearía competir en una justa veraniega.

La número uno a nivel mundial dentro del raquetbol, la mexicana Paola Longoria, anunció que del 12 al 15 de diciembre próximo realizará un torneo en la ciudad de Monterrey, Nuevo León, donde participarán las mejores 20 jugadoras de la disciplina.

Bajo el nombre de “Paola Longoria Invitational”, la jugadora señaló que este evento será parte del tour profesional y que espera que sus compatriotas puedan dar la cara y tener una buena actuación.

“Estoy muy contenta con mi torneo, es para mí un gran honor poderlo realizar con las mejores jugadoras, vendrán las primeras 20 del ranking mundial y será en la categoría Grand Slam”,

señaló la mejor raquetbolista del mundo, quien lleva más de 100 partidos sin conocer la derrota, así como 25 títulos de manera consecutiva.

De esta manera, indicó que México tiene nivel para ser mejor, por lo que urgió a los atletas a entrenar con dedicación, sobre todo ahora que se pueden dar los apoyos para que aspiren a ser lo mejores, “éste será sin duda un gran evento, repartiremos una bolsa de 30 mil dólares”.

“Sueño con que mi deporte sea olímpico, me encantaría poder jugar y si no se puede, estar presente como entrenadora; la Federación Internacional debe presentar un buen plan, una buena propuesta para que seamos considerados”.

Finalmente, dijo que su reto es mantenerse como número uno durante su carrera como profesional, por lo que sigue mentalizada y con el hambre de triunfo para los torneos que vienen.

México (NOTIMEX) La prensa deportiva mexicana coincidió en que la derrota 2-1 ante Costa Rica es el fracaso más grande de la selección nacional, que consiguió de “panzazo” el repechaje para la Copa del Mundo Brasil 2014, y no por sus méritos, sino gracias al triunfo de Estados Unidos ante su similar de Panamá.
