“A vote is the great equalizer, but only when it has been cast”. (source: C. M. Blow, columnist, New York Times).

The most important thing is to actually vote by mail early in privacy away from peer pressure or at your community’s poll which is open from 7 AM to 8 PM on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Vote, because your vote counts. It reflects your choices based upon your personal goals and values. When taken collectively with all votes cast, it forms a valid current statement. A consensus, as it were, of your community and its expressed choices. The Registrar of Voters (www.scc. org) and <SmartVoter.org> provide official information on all candidates, measures and propositions.

When a registered voter decides to not vote, then that opportunity to make a difference; to count as a constituent is lost. When very high numbers of registered voters actually votes, it enables the formation of public policy which ‘We the People’ have expressed offically. It is true that ‘Your Vote is Your Voice’....so speak up by actually voting. Do not contribute to a low voter turnout because then a nonrepresentative group who did vote, assumes authority and power. The low voter participation of 2010 resulted in the current gridlocked U.S. Congress. Conservatives gained majority of the House of Representatives and had enough votes in the Senate to stop the legislative process which conducted the people’s business. Democracy works

best when the greatest number of citizens register to vote, study the issues being faced and then express their individual opinion by voting.

That enables ‘representative governance’.

Understand that if ‘you are not represented at the table’, you will be exploited by those who now have authority and power because they were elected by an effective minority representing special interests.

The Hispanic community’s registered voters must VOTE to establish its effective and involved commitment and presence. When Hispanic voters elect officials in their own best interests, then it will be represented directly.

“If you are not represented at the table, then you will be on the menu”.

This point is very important. The City of San Jose is a jurisdiction which is responsible for about $4 billion in annual revenues (your sales taxes, fees, income taxes). It is possible on November 4, 2014 for the SJ Hispanic electorate and its allies to responsibly elect three additional ‘Latino representatives’ to the San Jose City Council: Magdalena Carrasco (already elected to represent District 5); Maya Esparza, (District 7); and Raul Peralez, (District 3).

City Council member Rose Herrera will continue to represent District 8.

When Hispanic voters elect Dave Cortese the next Mayor, they can expect to experience a seasoned rational leadership focused upon local San Jose issues. The matters of ‘disability insurance’ for police and firefighters can be realigned; the City Budget must reflect all debts including current unfunded pension obligations which need to be humanely and realistically resolved. The City of San Jose cannot deliver the required level of public safety

and security needed for future social and economic growth without having a totally visible, accessible and transparent governance. The usual and customary level of civic services will be enabled.

The future stewardship of public revenues must be handled with fully responsible & accountable integrity.

Future economic development must be focused upon small businesses because it is here where creativity, innovation and insightful developments begin. It is very important to favor the future developments within Silicon Valley by nurturing the small business sector where small inputs may result in very large returns on investments made. Let’s keep in mind that insightful developments happen in the minds of an educated informed person; not in a corporate board room. That is why factual information, education, Arts and cultural perspectives are very important.

“Let’s not mince words here: If the Koch Brothers (and their ilk) are able to buy this year’s midterm election, it will be a DEVASTATING blow for American democracy. It’s time to put an end to unfair campaign finance laws that have allowed the ultra-rich to rig our elections” (Source: THE MEMO).

Our democracy is not for sale nor can it become a plutacracy (rule by the influential wealthy). The collective action of all voters can neutralize all that ‘Dark Money’ that funds propaganda, which misinforms and is divisive. This requires that everyone VOTE. Hispanic voters must do their part responsibly by participating; by voting. Their collective vote is the great social and economic equalizer.

José López Zamorano LA RED HISPANA Los avances de nuestra comunidad latina en Estados Unidos son innegables y son especialmente esperanzadoras las nuevas cifras que documentan una reducción en los niveles de deserción escolar de nuestros jóvenes y un aumento de los niños latinos en educación preescolar. Ellos son la semilla de la próxima generación de líderes latinos.

Pero subsisten por desgracia datos alarmantes que cobran relevancia en momentos que la nación se apresta a celebrar elecciones legislativas el 4 de noviembre, que son críticas no solo para el futuro de nuestra gente en temas pendientes como la migración, sino para el bienestar actual de nuestras familias en asuntos como el salario mínimo y la educación.

Aunque el número de hispanos elegibles para votar asciende a 25.2 millones de adultos, un incremento de 21.3 por ciento respecto del 2010, nuestra tasa de asistencia a las urnas es de apenas el 31 por ciento, una de las más bajas de la nación, comparada con 49 por ciento de los anglos y 44 por ciento de los afroamericanos.

¿Qué nos pasa? ¿Qué explica la desconexión que perciben los hispanos entre la participación cívica y la vida diaria? ¿Acaso no se comprende a plenitud que las decisiones que tomen el congreso federal, la legislatura estatal y hasta la junta escolar local pueden afectar nuestras vidas de manera significativa?

Una de las razones que explica ese desinterés de los latinos es sin duda la percepción que somos usados como pelota de ping-pong por los políticos, que nos cortejan en año electoral y luego nos dejan decepcionados ante la falta de avances concretos. Es fácil decepcionarse y abandonar la esperanza de que el cambio es posible a través de la participación cívica.

El Consejo Nacional de la Raza (NCLR) y otros grupos lanzaron iniciativas para registrar a 125,000 latinos y

movilizar a más de un cuarto de millón. Es parte de un esfuerzo por traducir el poder demográfico latino en poder político. Es un asunto de interés colectivo y de orgullo como la minoría más grande de Estados Unidos que ha contribuido tanto a hacer grande a esta nación.

Pero el voto es también la manera más efectiva de mostrar nuestro aprecio hacia quienes nos tratan con respeto y dignidad. Y no es tarde. En California, el estado con el mayor número de hispanos elegibles para votar, puedes registrarte hasta el 20 de octubre.

El 4 de noviembre se juegan no sólo los 435 escaños de la Cámara de Representantes y la tercera parte del Senado, que podría caer en manos de los republicanos. También se eligen legislaturas estatales, juntas escolares y asuntos que van desde salarios hasta la legalización de las drogas.

Los hispanos no podemos ausentarnos del momento de las definiciones. No hay excusa ni pretexto. Porque si no votamos, perdemos la autoridad para quejarnos que las cosas siguen mal, que seguimos siendo manipulados, ignorados o humillados por los políticos. Para nosotros esta es la hora de la verdad.

Estudiante de la UC Davis establecio el centro para estudiantes indocumentados Julia Ann Easley (NAM)

Una dura realidad separaba a Ana Maciel de Soledad, California, de su sueño de una educación universitaria: Es una inmigrante indocumentada.

Ahora, tan solo unos cuantos años después, la estudiante de tercer año de estudios universitarios vive ese sueño en la Universidad de California en Davis y ha jugado un papel importante en el establecimiento de un centro para ayudar a otros como ella a superar sus obstáculos para acceder a la educación universitaria.

A la vez que se lanza la nueva ley AB540, se abre el Centro de Estudiantes indocumentados en el corazón del campus.

Será parte del Centro Comunitario Estudiantil y estará abierto a partir del 1 de octubre de 1 a 3 de la tarde, y se inaugurará el 21 de octubre de 5 a 6:30 de la tarde.

“Esto significa muchísimo”, dice Maciel, una alumna de tercer año de la carrera universitaria de Estudios chicanos y Ciencia política. “Significa que hay un sitio central donde los estudiantes puedan ver que están representados en el campus y que hay otros como ellos”.

La AB540 es una ley estatal de California, aprobada en 2001, que exime a estudiantes de pagar la matrícula universitaria de los que no son residentes (la cual es mucho más cara que la matrícula para residentes), si han asistido a una escuela secundaria de California por al menos tres años, se han graduado de una escuela secundaria de California, y han cumplido otros requisitos.

Darles fuerza a los alumnos

La ley AB540 y los estudiantes indocumentados deben tener los servicios de apoyo que necesitan para realizar sus sueños, dijo Adela de la Torre, vicerrectora de Asuntos Estudiantiles de la UC Davis.

OCTOBER 24-30, 2014

Servicios para estudiantes indocumentados El nuevo centro ofrecerá asesoramiento académico y financiero y acceso a servicios de orientación universitaria.

Para Maciel, estudiar en una universidad de importancia mundial y ayudar a otros hacer lo mismo queda muy lejos de su Irapuato nativa, una ciudad en el estado mexicano de Guanajuato. Le han dicho que un tío la cruzó por la frontera

‣Maciel ha jugado un papel importante en el establecimiento de un centro para ayudar a otros como ella

“He visto el estrés innecesario que estos estudiantes han sentido al tener muchos trabajos a causa de su acceso limitado a ayuda financiera y el aislamiento que han vivido al no encajar en el camino estudiantil más tradicional”, dijo. “Ahora podemos crear un ambiente en el que ya no tengan que enfrentarse a estos asuntos solos y tengan el apoyo del campus para lograr su máximo potencial”.

El centro ofrecerá a los estudiantes indocumentados una comunidad, les coordinará los recursos y les apoyará en su éxito. Andrea Gaytan, antes la sub-directora del Centro Multicultural del campus, es la directora del nuevo centro.

Partiendo de los esfuerzos de los estudiantes a lo largo de los años, Maciel y otros miembros de SPEAK (Académicos que promueven la sensibilización y el conocimiento de la educación), una organización dirigida por estudiantes que apoya a los estudiantes indocumentados, estuvieron el año pasado redactando una propuesta para el centro y hablando con líderes del campus.

En otoño de 2013, Janet Napolitano, la Presidenta de la UC, anunció oportundamente una iniciativa de $5 millones para mejorar los servicios estudiantiles y la ayuda financiera disponible para los estudiantes indocumentados de la UC. La UC Davis recibe $500,000 para atender a sus aproximadamente 200 estudiantes indocumentados.

También abogará por los estudiantes indocumentados y concienciará al campus acerca de sus preocupaciones.

Mediante la asociación con la Oficina de Ley de Inmigración de la Facultad de Derecho, el centro ofrecerá servicios legales gratis relacionados con la inmigración, incluyendo representación en el juzgado de inmigración o ante las agencias de inmigración, y talleres para preparar solicitudes para la Acción Diferida para los que llegaron a este país como niños y formularios de nacionalización entre otros, y asistencia con la inmigración.

Gaytan, que empezó en agosto, también fue coordinadora de programa para un programa de inglés como segundo idioma en la Santa Fe Community College en Nuevo México, enseñó inglés en dos universidades mexicanas e inmersión en inglés en una escuela intermedia de California. Es la directora saliente de la Asociación de Plantilla y Profesores Latinos de UC Davis.

Maciel será la coordinadora académica del centro. Otros tres estudiantes de pre-graduado ayudarán con actividades de enlace comunitario, retención y marketing. Y dos investigadores pos-graduados ayudarán con defensa política, políticas, y la educación y formación de la plantilla.

La ruta a la universidad

en 1997, y su madre cruzó por el desierto. Entre sus recuerdos de su niñez están los largos viajes a las audiencias de deportación de su madre.

Maciel dijo que siempre le encantó la escuela y quiso asistir a una universidad. Pero cuando su profesor de secundaria pidió que los alumnos trajeran los documentos de sus padres para que pudieran solicitar ayuda financiera federal, ella sabía que su familia no los tenía.

Pagar por la educación universitaria de su hija le pareció abrumador a una madre soltera con cuatro hijos y que trabajaba en los campos mientras cuidaba a los hijos de otras personas. La madre de Maciel le pudo ayudar durante el primer trimestre.

Becas particulares ayudaron también.

En 2013, se le otorgó a Maciel acción diferida para la deportación de los Estados Unidos y permiso de trabajo bajo el programa Acción diferida para individuos que llegaron a este país como niños. Desde entonces, ha trabajado en una tienda de ropa en Salinas y como asistente de investigaciones. Este año, además de su trabajo en el centro, también trabajará como consejera académica de otros estudiantes en el Departamento de Estudios chicanos.

“Fue un gran alivio”, dijo Maciel. “Sabía que no tendría que pensar en el dinero durante los exámenes finales. Estaba tan feliz de est

their business. That’s a key finding of TriNet’s Small Business Confidence Survey, which explores the opinions of U.S. small business owners about issues such as their outlook on the state of their companies and on federal and state legislation.

‣Burton Goldfield of TriNet

Burton Goldfield President and CEO /TriNet NAPSI Small businesses have a number of concerns when it comes to the effect that government regulations are having on

According to the survey, conducted by Harris Poll, 67 percent of small business owners believe that the U.S. government’s policies are unfavorable toward small businesses, with 32 percent rating them very unfavorable. The online survey was conducted within the United States between January 20−30, 2014 among 206

U.S. owners of small businesses with 10‚àí49 employees.

Additional Concerns In addition to the concern surrounding legislation, the survey also found that: The majority of small business owners believe that legislation hampering small businesses (56 percent), as well as the overall economic health of the United States (53 percent), will get worse in 2014.

76 percent of small business owners strongly agree that the amount of federal government regulations regarding employee benefits is restrictive to the growth of small

business and 75 percent feel the same about state government regulations.

Only one-third of those surveyed (33 percent) consider U.S. government policies to be favorable toward small businesses.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is of major concern to some owners of small businesses. Nearly 8 in 10 (77 percent) consider themselves familiar with the ACA. In terms of impact, 52 percent believe that the effect of the ACA on their business has been neither better nor worse than expected, whereas 35 percent said that it has been worse than expected.

The Cost of Compliance The cost of complying with these regulations may be what is driving small business owner concerns about government regulations.According to a report released

NEWSUSA It’s a thorny subject, no matter whom you talk to or whether it’s in the U.S. or abroad. The debate over legalizing marijuana -- be it medical or recreational -- has raged for decades, and has only just started to see the seeds of fruition stateside.

Now, however, Canada is weighing in on this controversial industry, by changing its production and distribution laws, making it legal for any licensed company to grow and ship medical marijuana to patients, and illegal for patients to grow their own. For their efforts, the country is seeing potential backers -- both U.S. and Canadian -- flocking to invest.

“It’s a much different time than it was a year ago,” Mark Gobuty, the chief executive of Peace Naturals Project Inc., told the Wall Street Journal.

“Before, it was a reputational risk. Today they’re lining up.”

One company that is gambling that the industry will be as bountiful as its product is Medican (OTCQB: MDCN), a Las Vegas-based bio-pharmaceutical company. Medican is entering the market as a supplier to America’s northern cousin, and focusing on developing, distributing and mar-

by the Heritage Foundation, the cost of federal regulations to businesses rose by $70 billion during 2009‚àí2013. At the end of 2012, the number of federal regulations affecting small companies was 13 percent higher than at the end of 2008.

higher in small businesses than in large businesses.

Additionally, in a 2010 report entitled “The Impact of Regulatory Costs on Small Firms,” by the Small Business Administration, Office of Advocacy, small businesses bear the largest burden of federal regulations. The report noted that small businesses face an annual regulatory cost of $10,585 per employee. The costs for medium-sized and large businesses are $7,454 and $7,755, respectively. Costs per employee thus appear to be at least 36 percent higher in small businesses than in their larger counterparts. With respect to tax compliance, the same report indicated the cost per employee is three times

Complying with government regulations can be a complex issue for small businesses.

Despite good intentions, the changes ushered in by the Affordable Care Act have made it even more challenging for companies to stay compliant.

With TriNet’s solutions, business owners can stay in line with government policies so they have more time to spend growing their business.

Therefore, according to those numbers, small businesses face a larger per-employee cost for complying with government regulations than big companies.

TriNet, the sponsor of the survey, is a leading provider of a comprehensive human resources solution for small to medium-sized businesses. To learn more, visit www.trinet. com.

keting pharmaceutical-grade cannabis to the emerging global market.

“The medical marijuana market in Canada will be worth roughly $120 million in its first year, and by 2024, it could be worth as much as $1.3 billion,” says Ken Williams, CEO of Medican. “The time to get into this budding industry is now. If we don’t seize this opportunity, we will miss out on what we believe will be a very profitable market niche that is on the verge of exploding in the next decade.”

In the U.S., the market for legal marijuana -- wherein 20 states currently allow medical marijuana use, and Washing-

ton state and Colorado allow recreational use -- could be worth as much as $2.5 billion by the end of this year, according to the marijuana industry research firm ArcView Group.

As a side note: Colorado, which allowed recreational marijuana use at the beginning of 2014, took more than $7 million in tax revenue in the first two months.

Currently, Medican has signed an agreement with International Herbs, Ltd. and LFG Advisory and Accounting, and it has committed to entering the Canadian market with a significant ownership stake in a large facility in New Brunswick.

El equipo está liderado por el director de la división, el

Dr. Kyle Myers, un físico con un doctorado en ciencias ópticas. El equipo también está formado por el Dr. Aldo Badano, un experto en tecnologías de evaluación mediante imágenes de renombre mundial, y el Dr. Brian Garra, un radiólogo especializado en diagnósticos que lleva a cabo investigaciones en el campo de la ciencia de la normatización en la FDA. Estos científicos estudian la manera en que los médicos obtienen y analizan información visual para diagnosticar una enfermedad. En el centro de su investigación se encuentran los dispositivos de detección de cáncer de mama, los cuales están dando el salto de las tecnologías en dos dimensiones (2D) — como las mamografías— a las tomosíntesis de mama

EARTHTALK Just when you thought it was safe to play soccer on that brand new synthetic turf field, it may be time to think again. Those little black dirt-like granules that fill up the space between synthetic blades of grass and make up some 90 percent of today’s artificial turf fields are actually ground-up car and truck tires. As such they contain a host of potentially noxious chemicals that can lead to a wide range of health problems.

Four of the constituent chemicals in these “tire crumbs” (or “tire mulch”) as they are called—arsenic, benzene, cadmium and nickel—are deemed carcinogens by the International Agency for Cancer Research. Others have been linked to skin, eye and respiratory irritation, kidney and liver problems, allergic reactions, nervous systems disorders and developmental delays.

While the risk came to light recently when a University of Washington women’s soccer coach began to think it might be more than a coincidence that two of her goalies were stricken with cancer, researchers have known about such potential links for

“El problema de las sombras causadas por la superposición ha complicado la detección del cáncer, ya que las mamografías no muestran cánceres ocultos por tejidos superpuestos”,

years. A 2007 report by the Connecticut-based Environment & Human Health Inc. (EHHI) looked at several scientific studies and found definitive connections between various health problems and exposure to synthetic turf.

EHHI also reported that kids on playfields are likely to face similar risks as line workers in the rubber fabrication and reclamation industries, where they say health reports show the presence of multiple volatile organic hydrocarbons and other toxic elements in the air. “Studies at tire reclamation sites report leaching of similar sets of chemicals into the ground water,” says the group.

The Synthetic Turf Council, an industry group, maintains that there is considerable evidence pointing to the health safety of synthetic turf. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) isn’t taking sides, leaving it up to state and local jurisdictions to decide whether or not to allow artificial turf.

The EPA would like to see more research done so parents everywhere can have a better idea of the risks involved.

Of course, synthetic turf fields aren’t all bad. For one,

señala Myers. Otro hecho que agrava este problema es que algunos tejidos superpuestos pueden presentar un aspecto parecido al cáncer, pero no lo son. “Las nuevas tecnologías que estamos estudiando superan estos obstáculos”, añade. Uno de los retos es que las pantallas 3D para fines médicos necesitan más resolución. Para los usos médicos, los requisitos son exigentes; “y hay mucho en juego”, concluye.

they don’t need frequent watering (a grass playing field typically requires 50,000 gallons of water per week during growing season) and doesn’t require the application of potentially toxic pesticides. Furthermore, turf is much more durable and less costly to maintain than grass, and players suffer fewer injuries on it since it doesn’t turn to slippery mud when wet.

Do these pros outweigh the cons? Some schools don’t think so and are turning back plans to convert their grass fields to turf. Where it is too late for that, parents should warn their little athletes to stay upright as much as possible—turf-related cancers seem to be most common in goalies who spend the most time down on the turf surface. Also, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that those playing on synthetic turf avoid eating or drinking on the field where toxic dust can contaminate food and liquids, wash their hands and body aggressively with soap and water afterwards, and remove clothes worn on the field and turn them inside out before washing them separately from other items.

Rosario Dawson brings Voto Latino conference tour to San Jose Veronica T. Avendaño EL OBSERVADOR Millennials, politics, tech, and celebrities blended together to create the Voto Latino Power Summit Conference, this past weekend, October 17-18, at the last stop on the four city summit tour and tenth anniversary celebration hosted at San Jose State University.

SACRAMENTO Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and California state public health officials met with emergency responders and representatives of leading health care providers to discuss the state’s Ebola preparedness efforts on Tuesday.

The Governor joined officials from the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS), California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/ OSHA) to meet with California hospital leaders and nurses. The Governor will also meet later today with emergency responders, local health directors and medical providers.

While there are currently no cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in California, state officials are taking steps to help ensure health care workers, hospitals and first responders are prepared to treat and care for patients with Ebola.

Since the EVD outbreak began in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, CDPH has worked with state, federal and local health officials to prepare for potential cases of EVD in California. In August, CDPH launched an informational website compiling information about the outbreak and preparing California health care providers with guidance and protocols from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDPH has developed an interim case report form for reporting suspected cases of EVD to CDPH and has distributed CDC guidance on specimen collection, transport, testing and submission for patients suspected of having Ebola. Last week, CDPH

posted interim guidelines for EVD medical waste management and recommended that all healthcare facility environmental services personnel and infection control staff work together to develop facility-specific protocols for safe handling of Ebola related medical waste. CDPH has provided these and other documents to health care providers and partners via the California Health Alert Network (CAHAN).

In September, CDPH convened more 1,100 health care and public health workers to urge them to assess their Ebola readiness and conduct drills in their facilities. Last week, CDPH officials held a teleconference with health care providers to discuss the latest news and guidance about handling suspected EVD cases. CDPH is providing weekly updates to local health officials, first responders and health care providers as the EVD outbreak continues in West Africa. In an effort to ensure that health care workers throughout the state have the necessary information on protecting themselves while treating patients with EVD, Cal/OSHA last week distributed interim guidance on proper use of personal protective equipment, infection control and respiratory protection. CDPH is also available to provide consultation about suspect EVD cases

Voto Latino, a non partisan organization focuses on developing leadership skills in Latino Millennials to engage in politics and community issues.The conference gathered together panels of experts for workshops as a way to provide professional tools and resources for its millennial participants to find pathways to success and civic engagement. Panelists ranged from politicians, business leaders, and activists.

The organization has a long history in the Silicon Valley.

Founder and CEO Maria Teresa Kumar, a northern California native, recognized the San Francisco Bay Area as a focal point to met the organization’s needs.

“A lot of the ideas and the technology influence that we use at Voto Latino, ten years ago, came because of people’s commitment here, locally.” said Kumar.

Kumar and her team on the East Coast were not able to gain support for the organization in its beginning stages by reaching out to Latinos in English via technology. “Here in the Bay Area, of course you would reach young Latinos in English using technology. Ten years ago that was unheard of people thought they were nuts but the Bay Area not only knew the community but felt very strongly of encouraging us.”

The conference for students, like San Jose State University’s Jessica Fuentes served as a catalyst for her fu-

ture endeavors after graduation. “Because I’m a leader on campus I was really inspired to learn more about how to develop my leadership skills and to learn more about how to inspire other Latinos to get involved politically,” said Fuentes.

On the other end of the spectrum, while students like Fuentes benefit from training to pursue professional success and community activism, seasoned professionals like marketing manager, Juan Carlos Lopez also found themselves attending workshops. Lopez said the millennial market is important for overall marketing success.

“I think it’s very crucial because I think the group that’s really more accepting of new technology,they are quick to learn it and embrace it and anytime that you want to take advantage of new technology such as social media, that’s the group that you definitely want to reach out to,” said Lopez.

While the conference boasted a multitude of workshops, Fuentes and Lopez agree that the environment of being surrounded by Latinos striving to make a community impact also made a lasting impression.

“At the end of the day, when

Dawson, the organization’s chairwoman, while most famously known as an actress, in films like Sin City and Seven Pounds, has been involved with the organization since its inception.

“It’s smart and it’s necessary for us to participate in that way, we’re not always going to volunteer for organizations but we can all vote, it doesn’t take that much of our time and using our critical voice in our way can make all the difference generationally,” said Dawson.

Dawson and Kumar recalled the beginnings of the organization when lack of network support, the organization’s mission, and even Dawson’s ethnic authenticity were called into question.

“We started with breaking a lot of stereotypes, the stereotypes were broken in large part because we created Voto Latino and people came,” said Kumar. “My hope is that we are only here celebrating our anniversary, right here in our backyard but more importantly we’re using it as an opportunity to cultivate new Latino leadership not only for San Jose but also for the country.”

After a long summit season educating participants in advocacy, business, media, and technology in Miami, San Antonio, New York, and finally San Jose the Voto Latino Team still has more work to do. “We want to give people the tools to navigate their life, be resource for information be a connector to other great individuals are the country so that they empower themselves,” said Kumar. “We’re just getting started.”

Proyecto de Autobuses de Transporte Rápido en El Camino Real Aviso de la disponibilidad del Informe sobre el Impacto Ambiental/Evaluación Ambiental

Aviso sobre Reunión Pública (CHP) The Impact Teen Drivers organization, along with the California Highway Patrol and the California Office of Traffic Safety, met this week at the California School for the Deaf to recognize the National Teen Driver Safety Week, October 19-25, 2014.

Motor vehicle collisions remain the leading cause of death for teens 14-18 years of age in the United States. In fact, almost half of the teen drivers involved in a crash die. The majority of these collisions do not involve the use of alcohol or drugs, and tragically, all of them are preventable.

Speakers at the event included California State Assemblyman Bill Quirk, Chief Avery Browne, the Division Commander of the CHP Golden Gate Division, Dr. Kelly Browning, PhD, the Executive Director of Impact Teen Drivers, and Principal Len Gonzales of the California School for the Deaf.

The California School for the Deaf hosted the press conference. Their mission is to provide comprehensive educational programs in an accessible learning environment that recognizes Deaf students and adults as cul-

turally and linguistically distinct. Hosting today’s conference was especially significant because the partnership between Impact Teen Drivers (ITD) and the California Highway Patrol exists to ensure that traffic safety messages geared toward teens are as effective and comprehensive as possible. Our organizations work together to continually develop and deliver evidence-based programs and materials to distinct subsets of teens. In fact, ITD and CHP have developed outreach programs for deaf teens, Spanish-speaking teens, Hmong-speaking teens, and programs for teens of varying socioeconomic backgrounds.

A focus of the CHP/ITD partnership is to embrace peer-to-peer messaging.

Teens are more likely to positively respond to messages delivered by those within their peer groups. The “What Do You Consider Lethal?” campaign includes a “Leadthe-Leaders workshop, which has been delivered in many languages including American Sign Language.

These powerful peer-to-peer workshops feature personal stories of reckless and distracted driving, and empower student leaders to implement successful traffic safety

advocacy projects.

Students at the California School for the Deaf exemplify a commitment to service, with many already actively involved in traffic safety messaging. This year, California Highway Patrol’s “Don’t Text and Drive” Public Service Announcement, “Ghost,” was a joint effort with California School for the Deaf. The PSA received several awards and will be posted on DMV’s California statewide website. Today’s Lead the Leaders workshop provided them the tools to continue and strengthen their efforts.

At the heart of the event was the celebration of successful collaboration between teen leaders, schools, and community organizations in championing safe driving.

Dr. Kelly Browning, Executive Director of Impact Teen Drivers asserts that, “It will take all of us, educators, law enforcement, parents, and communities, to change the driving culture to one that is distraction-free.” Using this multifaceted approach combining quality education, enforcement, and cutting-edge technology, California is one giant step closer to ending preventable teen fatal car crashes.

CONSULADO GENERAL DE MÉXICO EN SAN JOSÉ El Consulado General de México en San José se enorgullece en presentar al artista plástico Héctor Vargas, invitado especial, que estará presentando dos series de dibujos en el Consulado, localizado en 2125 Zanker Road. El público podrá visitar las series “Silicón Valley” y “Mantegna” desde el 24 de octubre hasta el 22 de noviembre.

En esta exposición, desarrollada ex profeso para el Consulado, Héctor Vargas, explora las posibilidades de la forma a través del dibujo, que puede ser muy elegante, pero también muy agresivo. En la serie “Silicón Valley”, el artista realiza un juego de palabras con la palabra silicon (en inglés, silicio) y silicón; planteando en esta contraposición el uso libre de la forma en el dibujo y las alteraciones a la figura humana. Por otro lado, la serie “Mantegna”, está directamente relacionada

Santa Clara CALIFORNIA A Board of Supervisors’ Committee approved new guidelines aimed at keeping graffiti out of Santa Clara County pockets and removing it quickly when vandals do tag property.

On Thursday, October 16, the Housing, Land Use, Environment and Transportation Committee, chaired by Supervisor Dave Cortese, approved guidelines that encourage property owners to remove graffiti within 48 hours of detection and take steps to prevent tagging in residential and commercial areas. The previous rules gave property owners 10 days to remove graffiti.

con el trabajo plástico de dos artistas latinoamericanos: José Luis Cuevas y Fernando Botero, durante la época de los cincuenta y sesenta: años críticos para el redescubrimiento de la figuración en el arte latinoamericano, toda vez, que en este periodo ambos artistas se empeñaron en desarrollar una nueva tendencia diferente al arte enfocado en la educación popular y el abstraccionismo. Ambas series, producidas en tinta, acrílico y carburo de silicio, hacen constar al dibujo de Héctor Vargas como una expresión autónoma de arte.

“El dibujo ha sido la manera más directa e inmediata de las artes visuales, ya que toda manifestación de este tipo es susceptible de ser trazada.

Me interesa ‘pensar’ el dibujo y trabajar en función de presentar esta práctica como una posibilidad autónoma de arte.

Me gusta mucho saberme capaz de manipular la figura desde su forma más simple hasta el paroxismo. Con respecto al público que mira mi

“Ten days is too long and encourages graffiti vandals to keep tagging,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese, who recommended the ordinance changes in June.  “Removing it as soon as possible discourages them from hitting the same place.” The Board of Supervisors will take final vote on the Anti-Graffiti Program at its meeting at 9 a.m. on November 4, 2014, in the Board Chambers at the City Government Center, 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose.

While the County has worked with property owners to paint out graffiti, there hasn’t been a program or resources focused on illegal tagging since 2008.  Revising the ordinance establishes

Vargas continúa con la tradición gráfica mexicana.

Tiende un puente entre el arte plástico de la cultura tolteca, de la cual desciende, hasta el dibujo contemporáneo mexicano, pasando por figuras como la de Ernesto “chango” Cabral y José Luis Cuevas.

Héctor Vargas inició su carrera como artista en el Taller de Gráfica Popular, donde desarrolla su obra y mantiene viva la tradición gráfica iniciada por íconos del imaginario colectivo mexicano como Julio Ruelas, Manuel Manilla y José Guadalupe Posada.

El artista ha mostrado su trabajo en México, Suiza, Estados Unidos y Argentina. Ha presentado conferencias para la Universidad de Stanford y San Jose State University sobre la nueva figuración y la influencia de Marta Traba, Fernando Botero, José Gó-

the program and makes graffiti cleanup a priority.After the Board’s adoption of the amended ordinance in August, the Code Enforcement Division notified 34 owners to clean up the graffiti on their properties. So far, 21 have removed the graffiti.

If the graffiti is not removed, the County can have it removed and charge the property owner for the costs.

The focus, however, is on working with property owners to rid neighborhoods of this blight, and asking residents and neighborhood leaders to be the ‚Äúeyes and ears‚Äù of their areas.¬† To report graffiti, residents in County pockets can call Code Enforcement at 408299-5704. ‣There hasn‚Äôt been a program or resources focused on illegal tagging since 2008

‣ Outkast‚Äôs performance was by far the most electric, spanning 20 years of material Photo Credit Arturo Hilario

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Treasure Island Music Festival, in its 7th year, came and went with great results during the weekend of October 18-19th. Accompanied by one of the most majestic backdrops, the peninsula and the vistas of San Francisco, a slew of popular artists and entertainment gave the festival enough of a range to satisfy anyones craving, whether it be food, dance, or a nice view.

Outkast, the headliner for Saturday, are no rookies to concert circuits. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, (quite a mouthful) the duo of Andre Benjamin (‘Andre 3000’) and Antwan Patton (‘Big Boi’) exceeded expectations after a rocky start to their reunion tour this year at Coachella. Its safe to say the rust of not performing during their hiatus wore off to great effect.

The crowds swooned to the

romantic, funky songs like “Prototype” to the super hits like “Hey Ya”.

Other bands over the weekend included Cathedrals, the San Francisco bred indie pop outfit as well as ZEDD, a Russian electronic music producer that had the swelling crowds of his live DJ and video effects set dancing and bobbing back and forth.

French-Chilean MC Ana Tijoux, who rapped in both English and Spanish to the acclaim of the crowds, is best known in the US for the song ‚Äú1977‚Äù. Another band, 1960’s beach rock revivalists The Growlers, had a psychedelic air to their style while also evoking a stage presence that kept current with our era.

As for other forms of entertainment, there were many activities in store for attendees. ‘Silent Disco’ was a space where upon entering one would be given a pair of headphones with volume control and wireless capabilities. Everyone in the ‘disco’ was treated to great sets of music mixes provided by

live DJ’s there; the catch is that if you were not wearing these impressive headphones you’d be seeing a strangely quiet dance party. This was definitely one of the highlights of the festival beyond the stage acts.

Other interesting things to note were the working ferris wheel which, paired with the fantastic view of the bay and the skyline of San Francisco, was a perfect picture moment (especially at dusk when the lights came on).

Brought by the same folks responsible for Outsidelands, which takes over portions of Golden Gate Park during August every year, the Treasure Island Music Festival, just like the aforementioned festival, knows how to use the environment of San Francisco as a backdrop for enjoying live music, art, food and partaking in unexpected, but enjoyable events.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Wearing a blue leather peacoat and matching blue beanie, The Growlers frontman Brooks Nielson looks the part at the Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco. Themes of pirates and ocean-fearing attire are consistent around the festival, Nielson adding to the eclectic styles. Before performing in front of thousands of fans at Treasure Island, he took some time to talk about The Growlers. † He and his band come from sunny Dana Point, in Southern California, where they stayed up until their foray into becoming a solid ensemble. Their sound is an amalgam, which can be said includes Neo-Psychedelia, Country, and Surf Revival, among other styles. This distinctive sound was coined ìBeach Gothî, which is also the name of a festival theyíve thrown for the past 3 years. †

The band consists of Brooks Nielsen (vocals), Matt Taylor (lead guitar), Scott Montoya (drums, formerly bass) Anthony Braun Perry (bass) and Kyle Straka (keyboards, guitar). ìI got into music pretty lateî says Nielson, ìI had a guitar, for a couple months in San Clementeî, after spending time reveling in parties and playing on around on their instruments, the idea hit to form a fully fledged band.

The seriousness in their intentions solidified when they moved away from their less than positive surroundings, to Long Beach California.

While the vocalist admits it started off as a bit of a party, now, 6 or 7 years later, the skills they honed are evident. Their new album, Chinese Fountain, was released in September and has been praised for its polish and quality, without losing that key component of their

surfer beach style of alt-rock. ìWe’ve always doing crummy home recordings, I think we deserved to finally be in a nice studio with a good engineer, a talented engineerî, says Nielsen.

Their Beach Goth shows became increasingly popular, even getting shut down by police because of the amount of fans coming to them. Eventually, they began holding the festival in larger venues. ìTheres one time of year where i get to do this, I work my ass off on it but its totally worth it.î The lineup for this yearís Beach Goth includes among others, The Drums, DIIV, GZA, Foxygen, and Atlas Sound. And of course, Brooks and the rest of The Growlers will be performing as well. For more information on the band please visit http://w w w.thegrowlers. com/.

‣Hit HBO shows like Game of Thrones will become accessible to those without needing a cable subscription

SHELLY PALMER HBO says it’s finally ready: Sometime in the next year the pay-TV service will be selling a Web-only offering.

HBO CEO Richard Plepler, speaking at an investor presentation hosted by HBO parent company Time Warner, said the company will start selling in 2015 a digital version of its service that won’t require a pay-TV subscription.

Plepler said the company will go “beyond the wall” and launch a “stand-alone, over the top” version of HBO in the U.S. next year, and would work with “current partners,” and may work with others as well. But he wouldn’t provide any other detail.

Even that vague statement is a milestone for HBO, Time Warner and the TV business in general. For years, Time Warner and HBO have said they’re happy with the existing system, where HBO is sold to consumers by TV providers, and is usually only available to customers who are already buying another bundle of TV networks.

That arrangement helped generate $4.9 billion in revenue for HBO last year, and

also kept pay-TV providers like Comcast* happy.

But now, under pressure from investors to show that Time Warner can extract more value from HBO, Plepler and Time Warner seem willing to risk upsetting that structure. The move will also be seen as a response to the rise of Netflix, which has more than 50 million subscribers for its Web video service, and may generate more revenue than HBO this year.

The upside is that HBO will be able to market itself to customers who don’t want to buy a full “bundle” of pay-TV channels, or may not get any pay-TV package at all, a number Plepler pegged at 10 million. The downside is that the Comcasts of the world, which HBO will still want to market its service, may punish the company.

Other big TV networks have also discussed an interest in selling programming directly to consumers.

ESPN, for instance, has said it will sell a package of NBA games to digital subscribers in the next few years. But in that case, the company has taken pains to argue that it won’t sell a product that competes with the one it’s already selling via pay TV. Plepler’s brief statement about its “over the top”

plans didn’t spell out the way the company would market and deliver HBO on the Web. It’s possible that the company will build out its own technology to do so. But I’ve also heard industry sources suggest that HBO would work with other companies that are already selling video on the Web, like Amazon and Hulu, to deliver its programming. HBO already has a wide-ranging content deal with Amazon.

He also didn’t discuss whether the Web version of HBO will be a mirror of the version available to payTV customers. Analysts have previously suggested that HBO might consider a “windowed” version of its TV service on the Web, where shows like “True Detective” and “Game of Thrones” don’t appear until months after they debut on TV. It’s important to note that much of Plepler’s presentation focused on HBO’s plans to build out its traditional business, by getting better terms from its existing pay-TV partners, and by getting pay-TV subscribers who aren’t paying for HBO to sign on — while continuing to pay for other TV channels.
