County to receive support from California Pay for Success InitiativeThe County of Santa Clara announced that the California Pay for Success Initiative, a joint project of Nonprofit Finance Fund and The James Irvine Foundation, selected the County’s Pay for Success Initiative as one of five recipients of financial and technical assistance support. Pay for Success is performance-based contracting within the social sector, where the government pays only if results are achieved.

Nueva Encuesta: 4 de cada 10 adolescentes nunca pensaron en el embarazoEl 39% de los adolescentes dice que nunca pensaron en lo que sería su vida si provocasen un embarazo o quedasen embarazadas, según los resultados de una nueva encuesta nacional publicada con anticipación al Día Nacional que cada año patrocina la Campaña Nacional de la Prevención del Embarazo en Adolescentes. Además, el 79% de los adultos cree que se necesitan mayores esfuerzos en sus comunidades para prevenir el embarazo en los adolescentes. La tasa nacional de embarazos en adolescentes ha disminuido un 44% mientras que, desde principios de 1990, la tasa de natalidad descendió un 52%. Se ha observado un drástico descenso en los 50 estados de la nación y en todos los grupos raciales y étnicos, puesto que la tasa de embarazos en adolescentes disminuyó un 40% y la tasa de natalidad, un 56% entre las latinas adolescentes.

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

Remember that this is a ‘‘Top Two” Primary Election, Tuesday, June 3, 2014. Under the Top Two election system, candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of their party preference. This includes all candidates for Congress, statewide executive offices, CA Legislature, county supervisors, city council and other local ‘to-be elected’ candidates.

Regardless of what party preference you indicated on your voter registration form, the registered voter can vote for any candidate. The two candidates receiving the most votes -- regardless of party preference -- move on to the general election campaign scheduled for the General Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014. When a candidate receives 50% plus one votes on Primary Election day, Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014, then that candidate is deemed ‘elected to office’. If the vote is less than 50%, then only the top two candidates, who have received the highest and second highest number of votes, move on to continue to campaign for ‘elected office’ until the General Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014 when the candidate receiving the most certified votes is deemed ‘elected to office’.

To vote on June 3rd, citizens may register until May 19th. One may vote in one of three convenient ways: By mail; Early, or at your local community poll. Do vote because that makes you an elected official’s supporter. Your vote is your voice. And vote in your own best interests.

EARLY VOTING begins on May 5, 2014 at the Registrar of Voter’s Office, 1555 Berger Drive, Building 2, San Jose, CA 95112. Phone: 408-299-VOTE (8683); 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday; EARLY VOTING CENTERS will be open Saturdays and Sundays, May 24-25; and May 31June 1 at Registrar of Voter’s Office and from noon to 5:00 PM at the following community libraries: Campbell, Gilroy, Los Altos, Milpitas, and Tully Community Branch Library, 880 Tully Road, San Jose, CA 95111.

Here are Hilbert’s recommendations. If you favor a different candidate, then do vote your own choice. Remember that local governance is a ‘billion dollar enterprise’ which is supposed to be ‘governed for the people, by the people and with the people’ and is funded by your paid taxes. If you do not vote, you may have helped special interest to prevail. Here are the recommendations as compiled by Publisher Hilbert Morales.

Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR He estado pensando toda la semana en lo que les quiero decir a todas las madres en su día especial. No soy una mamá. Yo no tengo una comprensión real de lo que significa criar a otro ser humano, pero supongo que es increíble.

A mi edad mi madre ya estaba criando tres niños. Mi hermanita todavía era un brillo en los ojos de mi padre.

Ella está a punto de cumplir 19 años. Se podría decir que mi mamá puede descansar pero ella sólo acaba de comenzar.

Mi otra hermana se convirtió en una madre soltera adolescente hace unos tres años.

Fue una gran sorpresa para nosotros, pero cuando pensamos en ella nos encanta el pequeño paquete de alegría que ha ido creciendo en una pequeña versión de mi hermana. Es muy interesante estar presente y ver mi mamá

Es asombroso el tipo de enlace de un niño y su madre.

Es casi irrompible. He tomado una clase del desarrollo del niño y aprendí lo fundamental de las etapas pero es completamente diferente poder verlo.

A veces me sorprende mi sobrina. Ella es inteligente, llena de energía, y súper linda. Veo a mi hermana en ella, no sólo físicamente, sino su comportamiento. Es fantástico el tipo de ambiente que un niño crea.

Hay tantos tipos de madres. Cualquier mujer que esta presente en la vida de un niño y ofrece la seguridad de un hogar se merece ese título. Para aquellos cuidadores y personas que guían a otro ser humano durante toda su vida también.

Mi madre haría cualquier cosa por sus hijos y actúa de la misma manera con mi sobrina. Estoy segura de que hay muchas madres que harían cualquier cosa por sus hijos y les quiero desear un feliz Día de las Madres en especial a mi hermana y mi madre.

¡Te Quiero Mucho Mom!

(STATEPOINT) Despite the time commitment and financial investment that come with the territory, more than 25 million people nationwide have opted to start a microbusiness – a company with five or fewer employees.

One in every 10 Americans works in a microbusiness, according to the Sam’s Club/Gallup Microbusiness Tracker, a quarterly survey of more than 850 microbusiness owners that provides insights into their economic and emotional concerns. The Sam’s Club survey indicates that women are opening 46 percent of today’s Main Street businesses – from restaurants to daycare centers – far greater than the number

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY In today’s world of Internet banking, smartphone shopping apps and web-based access to investment accounts, it’s easy to forget that billions of people around the world – including millions in our own country – lag far behind when it comes to accessing even the most rudimentary financial management tools.

Indeed, according to the World Bank: • Approximately

2.5 billion adults worldwide don’t have a formal banking account.

• In developing economies, only 41 percent of adults have bank accounts (compared to nearly 90 percent in highincome countries).

• In developing countries, the wealthiest 20 percent are more than twice as likely to have an account than the lowest 20 percent.

• There’s a gender inequality as well: 46 percent of men in

of women owned businesses that are over 20 years old.

“I’ve never worked harder in my life or felt more rewarded,” says Molly Beasley of Fairhope, Alabama, owner of Give a Dog a Bone, a Do-It-Yourself dog washing company. “This business is my passion. There’s a lot of satisfaction in knowing you are providing a valuable, affordable service in your community.”

After more than two years working 20 to 40 hours a week at a DIY dog wash in California, Beasley relocated to Alabama and found herself dreaming about opening her own dog wash. Eventually, she decided the timing was right to take the entrepreneurial leap and she hasn’t

poorer countries have a formal account, while only 37 percent of women do.

These statistics helped form the backdrop for the eighth annual Financial Literacy and Education Summit hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and Visa Inc. Renowned U.S. and international financial experts led lively discussions around the theme, “Providing Financial Literacy Resources to the Unbanked and Underbanked.”

Approximately 1,500 participants in 50 countries attended or watched the live online telecast.

Central to the discussions was the underlying question: “Is financial education important for a segment of the population that is largely excluded from formal financial services?” According to Keynote Speaker Bill Sheedy, EVP, Corporate Strategy, M&A and Government Relations, Visa, and the other panelists, the answer is an unqualified “yes.”

looked back. Since launching Give a Dog a Bone in 2012, Beasley caters to customers Monday through Sunday and spends her downtime thinking about ways to grow the bottom line.

Indeed, growth in microbusinesses has been driven largely by high personal sacrifice yet overall job satisfaction, according to the survey: • Over 60 percent of microbusiness owners have financed their businesses from personal savings and nearly as many (55 percent) say having access to cash reserves is a major issue.

• One in three microbusiness owners (31 percent) depend more on second jobs for their personal income than on the business they

“Providing these adults with useful, scalable and accessible financial services is just one piece of the puzzle,” said Sheedy. “They need to know how to use these products wisely and have the skills and confidence to manage their money soundly.”

“The only way we can be successful in bringing these 2.5 billion people into the economic mainstream is to provide them with financial education long before they ever acquire account numbers.”

Bottom line: Tremendous technological advances are being made around personal financial management. Our challenge is to find ways to bring those tools – and basic financial services – to vast populations of underserved individuals.

A parallel challenge is to continue developing and distributing financial education materials that enable children and adults to understand how to manage their money.

launched.

• Yet 69 percent of microbusiness owners feel they have the ideal job.

Amidst these findings, one question bubbles to the surface – how can entrepreneurs maintain their passion while dealing with long hours and increasing budget demands?

Beasley provides some tips: • Embrace Perspective: No matter how much you love your company, there will be days when balancing the books creates anxiety. Remind yourself what fueled you to launch your business.

• Find Balance: Sometimes it might seem impossible to relax, but devoting even 60 minutes weekly to nonbusiness related activities will help you recharge.

• Become Resourceful: Find ways to save money, time and energy. Try multitasking, such as purchasing business supplies while waiting for a prescription to be filled, or

• Make Changes: Stay motivated by experimenting with new methods and tools. Attending trainings or online webinars about your indus-

try can help re-ignite your creativity and even lead to business growth.

In a recovering economy, it’s no surprise microbusinesses are growing. For many, the job satisfaction is worth the time and financial investments.

HEALTH

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION It isn’t news that America has a weight problem. Almost daily, the media are full of weight loss tips while millions of dollars are spent on special diet plans, and yet the problem isn’t disappearing.

For many people the problem may be not so much what their food choices are, but rather why they eat. Research has found that stress-related eating is one of the most important reasons for overeating.

Eating when faced with stress is a natural reaction.

Many foods affect our moods and feelings. Some may remind us of better, simpler times (think comfort foods), or they may actually bring chemical reactions that make us feel better (think sugar high), at least for a short time.

Unquestionably, we live in a stressful world. From news reports of tragedies, to family issues, to the daily traffic jams we may experience, stress is a common occurrence and one that many of us deal with by reaching for something to eat. Doing so takes our mind off our tension and stress and leaves us feeling better. And so we do it, often without thinking, until that bathroom scale tells us something is wrong.

So how can you avoid using food as a stress reliever?

Start by focusing not so much on what you’re eating, but when and why you’re eating. Experts advise keeping a diary for a few days and recording what you eat, when you eat and what you’re feeling at the time. What you may find is that, without realizing it, you’ve been snacking, often unhealthily, not at times

when you’re really hungry, but simply when you’re feeling stressed. A next step is accepting that the food you’re eating doesn’t make your stress or problems go away, and may even be increasing your stress as you add on extra pounds.

This is the time to start analyzing the sources of stress in your life and seeing what you might do to reduce or manage that stress. Consider nonfood related activities, like exercising, reading, gardening or similar relaxing activities.

Often, simply being aware of what is triggering your stressrelated eating is enough to help you avoid it.

It isn’t easy to overcome stress-related eating, but it can be done. If you find that your eating issues are serious enough to be affecting your health, talk to your family physician or consider consulting a professional counselor who specializes in this area.

Latino children experience a disproportionate cancer rate. At least 32% of the blood cancer cases among children in California are Latino. The diets of Latino children put them at a particularly high risk for obesity.

Compared to other ethnic groups the diets of Latino children are higher in dietary fat, sweetened beverages, and lower in fruits and vegetables driving driving epidemic rates of obesity, a risk factor for cancer.

Veronica T. Avendaño EL OBSERVADOR For most in their early 20s, working full time and going to school full time is not an uncommon story. 22-yearold Cynthia Moctezuma had to handle a full load of classes, and work, while battling cancer. On October 5, 2010, she was diagnosed with Leukemia.

Leukemia is a type of cancer in the blood or bone marrow in which there is an abnormal increase of white blood cells. In comparison to other types of cancers, leukemia diagnosis is relatively rare, with an estimated 52,380 new cases in 2014 making it low on the list of common types of cancer. Hispanic women account for 8.7 percent of new cases per 100,000 persons.

thing which was required by her employer at the time.

Moreover, she was unable to hold down any food.

“I was really stubborn,” said Moctezuma. “I never liked doctors. I would never go to the doctor. If I had a fever, I’d take care of it myself. If I had sore muscles, I’d just take care of it myself.”

After some coaxing from her mother, she finally went in for a check-up. Originally, she was diagnosed with anemia. “I got a blood test a few days later and they told me I had leukemia. They called me over the phone and rushed me to emergency,” said Moctezuma.

Moctezuma noticed she was ill when she realized that she could no longer complete the simple task of going outside and taking a walk. She brushed it off, assuming she was sick.

From that point on, Moctezuma’s daily routine changed.

Everything had to be sterilized. Visitors had to disinfect their hands and have a clean bill of health before entering her room. Children especially were discouraged unless they had a clean bill of health.

Moctezuma recalled certain relatives were barred from visiting altogether.

She was unable to stand for long periods of time, some-

“I wouldn’t be as active as I was before; no playing

sports, nothing like that,” said Moctezuma. “I was basically secluded from everybody for a while.” If she needed to go outside, she was required to wear a mask to prevent exposure to illnesses. During treatment and post-treatment her diet was restricted.

Even today, she still follows her strict diet and exercise routine.

But even the appropriate precautions could not prevent all symptoms.

“There was a point, and a period of time, where my right side of my body went numb and I wasn’t able to walk. I was paralyzed.” said Moctezuma. “I was afraid that I wasn’t going to be able to walk again.”

Despite always feeling fatigued, she graduated from cosmetology school and found employment as a stylist. “I know it’s hard, but it doesn’t mean because you have cancer you can’t do much. Anything is possible, even with cancer. It doesn’t mean it’s going to break you.

With or without cancer you can achieve anything.”

anticipated increases in ridership resulting from Levi’s Stadium and VTA’s extension of BART to Silicon Valley in 2017.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) will be shutting down two light rail stations and the segment of track in between in Santa Clara to help speed up construction of the Santa Clara Pocket Track, an extra track that will hold the trains needed to meet the

The 9-day closure of the Reamwood and Vienna stations and the light rail tracks, from Friday, May 16 at 11 p.m. to Monday, May 26 at 4 a.m., will facilitate construction efficiencies, allowing crews to work extended hours to complete a large portion of the construction for the proj-

ect. Without the closure, the work would have to be done over a series of weekends and the completion date for the necessary improvement would be delayed.

Passengers will still be served, but should allow an extra 15 minutes of travel time. VTA will substitute light rail service to those two stations with bus service. That means passengers coming from either direction will get off light rail at Fair Oaks or Old Ironsides and onto a bus that will stop near both shuttered stations. Those who need to go beyond these stations can transfer back to light rail at Old Ironsides or Fair Oaks to continue their journey. See the map above for more information.

service. The track can hold three, 3-car trains that can be deployed to meet heavier demand, allowing the system to function more efficiently and minimize delays for passengers. With the shutdown, the construction will be completed in time for the first pre-season game at Levi’s Stadium, which means VTA

will have trains ready to meet the increased service demand from stadium-goers.

Broad coalition urges DHS to let California move forward with creating a driver’s license that provides the greatest protections for the state’s immigrant communities.

agreed upon in AB 60, “The Safe and Responsible Driver Act” would include a “DP” on the front and “Not for official federal purposes” on the back.

Unfortunately, DHS is insisting that the license design include a substantially more prominent distinguishing mark on the front. In response, Drive California issued the following statement:

“DHS has in other regards demonstrated flexibility and pragmatism in implementing the REAL ID Act of 2005, but is taking an inexplicably hardline position by rejecting California’s good faith effort to design a AB 60 driver’s license that is compliant with the Act.

We are baffled that DHS has actively tried to thwart protections in a law California passed that carefully balances compliance with federal law and ensures the greatest protections for community members. DHS

Drive California, a statewide coalition composed of a broad range of civil and immigrants’ rights groups including California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPIC), Presente, the ACLU of California, Services, Immigrant Rights, and Education Network (SIREN), and TODECTraining Occupational Development Educating Communities Center, strongly object to Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) refusal to let California move forward with creating a driver’s license that protects immigrant communities from discrimination.

The driver’s license design submitted to DHS and

maintains that in order for federal officials to distinguish the AB 60 license from other licenses, the marking must be substantially more prominent on the front of AB 60 licenses. Does the agency have so little faith in TSA employees that it doubts their ability to distinguish a license that clearly states ‘Not valid for official federal purposes’ from one that does not?

Members of the Drive California coalition will continue our conversations with DHS and the state of California to ensure that AB 60 driver’s licenses both comply with the REAL ID Act, and protect community members.

California must do the right thing and ensure that all its residents are protected from discrimination by anyone who may see the license, such as landlords, grocery store clerks, or other non-governmental actors. It would be a shame to let DHS push California into doing anything short of that.”

Si les gusta admitirlo o no, las madres de todo el planeta son de alguna manera como su madre. También hay las que trabajan activamente para inculcar las tradiciones de sus antepasados. Cada vez más, las madres están transmitiendo sus creencias y costumbres a sus hijos. Es una tarea bastante fácil para tres madres del este de San José.

“Somos mexicanos y tenemos que transmitir nuestras raíces a las nuevas generaciones. Ese es el valor más fuerte de todos nosotros”, dijo Guadalupe Moctezuma.

Guadalupe se graduó en 2008 con su bachillerato en desarrollo de niños, mientras trabajaba y criaba cuatro hijas con su esposo. Ella ha sido reconocida como la maestra del año. De niña aprendió a tocar la batería, bailó folclórico, y ahora se dedica al baile azteca con su hija Jessica.

Jessica se convirtió en madre a los 19 años. Se casó, pero como su abuela terminó como madre soltera. Su pareja empezó a abusar del alcohol y drogas. Entre todo eso aprendió a tener paciencia,

Uno de sus mayores logros fue conseguir su bachillerato en publicidad como una madre soltera. Recuerda que había un montón de críticos y hubo un momento en que tenía dos trabajos, a su hija,

Guadalupe es hija única criado por su madre soltera.

Su madre se vio obligada a abandonar a su padre después de haber sido objeto de abuso. Ella nunca volvió a casarse. En cambio, le enseñó a su hija a ser una mujer fuerte e independiente. En el camino ella también le enseñó a tener fe y la importancia de la

educación. Algo que Guadalupe le transmitió a sus hijos.

Cuando decida quedar embarazada tome en cuenta lo siguiente:

• Conserve una copia de su historial médico. Así cualquier doctor que la atienda podrá llevar un registro de algún asunto de su salud que pudiera afectar su embarazo.

• Asegúrese de llevar un estilo de vida saludable para contribuir a la salud de su bebé.

su doctor cualquier molestia o inquietud que tenga relacionada con su embarazo.

• Elija el lugar donde desee dar a luz. Usted puede tener a su bebé en un hospital o en una clínica especializada en maternidad, o inclusive en su casa en estados donde es permitido legalmente. Verifique las opciones que le ofrece su seguro médico.

2. Cuídese durante el embarazo • Hágase todos los exámenes y pruebas prenatales que su doctor le indique. Esta es la mejor manera de prevenir complicaciones durante y después del parto.

• Durante el tercer trimestre las visitas al doctor serán más frecuentes. Coméntele a

3. Después del parto • Conozca los beneficios de la lactancia materna, como las ventajas para la madre y el bebé, el ahorro de dinero y la pérdida de peso ganado durante el embarazo. Además, la leche materna es más fácil de digerir y le pasa sus defensas a su bebé.

• Guarde reposo. Luego de

“Mi mamá es mi roca. Si no fuera por ella nunca me hubiera enterado sobre becas y la ayuda financiera”, dijo

“Yo quiero lo mejor para ellas. Que sean felices. Que las quieran a ellas aunque no me quieran a mí”, dijo Margarita Carillo, madre de Guadalupe, con una gran sonrisa en su rostro.

Toda madre ve una parte de ellas en sus hijos. Va más allá de las similitudes físicas. Aprenden cómo hacer las cosas de un cierto estilo, toman decisiones en base, a sus fuertes creencias. En su mayor parte, lo aprendieron de sus madres.

• Consulte con su doctor sobre el tiempo de recuperación que su cuerpo requiere después del parto para volver a tener relaciones íntimas con su pareja.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR El Primero de Mayo hubo una marcha para la justicia y el futuro del tema de la inmigración en los Estados Unidos. Conocido como “May Day” en inglés, y celebrado como el día del trabajo a través del mundo entero, la marcha que inició en el este de San José representaba no sólo a los trabajadores, también a los inmigrantes y sus familias.

MAY 9-15, 2014

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

Lleno de admiración, alegría, esperanza y enfoque, cientos de personas caminaron casi tres millas entre las calles San Antonio y Santa Clara para hacer comentarios sobre el poder de la unión de la comunidad. A las cuatro de la tarde los grupos de familias, organizadores y miembros de la comunidad salieron de la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe para comenzar su marcha hasta la alcaldía de San José. Cientos marcharon, iniciando

su recorrido desde la iglesia con muchos más adicionales, uniéndose a la procesión rumbo a la alcaldía.

Habían niños con alas de mariposa de múltiples colores, tal vez representando las mariposas que emigran de Michoacán a Santa Cruz cada año. Hombres y Mujeres sostenían grandes letreros con dichos como “merecemos una reforma migratoria ahora” y “Mi Pueblo no E Verify”. Grandes muñecos de tela y plástico se elevaban sobre la marcha, uno era un dragón con las letras “ICE” escritas sobre su lado. Detrás iba un muñeco de forma de caballero con una espada llamada “justicia”.

Lo más interesante sobre los letreros, y los que los cargaban, eran los niños y sus mensajes sobre sus padres y la inmigración en general. En uno de ellos se leía:

Otro, más político y dirigido al Presidente de los Estados Unidos decía “Don’t deport my momma Obama”, oh “no deporte a mi mamá, Obama”.

Fue una marcha en la que los hijos de los inmigrantes y los niños que soportan el movimiento están expresando sus

miedos, sus aspiraciones y más importante su voz. Una nueva generación acepta a los que están aquí sin juzgar, sino soportando su lucha para ser iguales con los quiénes trabajan juntos cada día.

Tal vez esta nueva voz podrá ayudar a llegar a la meta de los inmigrantes.

La marcha culminó en la alcaldía con música, danza azteca, y los cientos de personas unidas para hablar sobre las historias, las metas y las soluciones que pueden empezar ahora.

Green groups like the Pesticide Action Network of North America (PANNA) would like to see the U.S. trade-in its policy that treats chemicals as “innocent until proven guilty” for something akin to Europe’s regulatory system, where a “health-protective precautionary approach” dictates which chemicals are approved for widespread use. Credit: Heather Buttrum, courtesy Flickr.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EARTHTALK Although we have come a long way in recent years with regard to the safety and sustainability of our food supply, we still have a long way to go. Toxic pesticides are still used on the vast majority of U.S. grown crops, while other hormone-disrupting chemicals are omnipresent in our food packaging. And excessive use of antibiotics in animal agriculture threatens to render many human drugs ineffective. Environmental leaders would like to see the federal government step up and institute regulations banning such substances in our food supply, but for now it’s still up to individual consumers to make the right choices.

Fruits and vegetables grown on conventional (i.e. not organic) farms make up some 96 percent of the produce we eat—and expose us to many pesticides. Two of the most toxic, chlorpyrifoss and DDT, are also quite common: 93 percent of Americans carry trace amounts of the former in their bloodstreams, while 99 percent of us have DDT residue coursing through our veins. These chemicals on our food can be harmful to adults, but health experts are even more concerned about what they are doing

to our kids. The non-profit Pesticide Action Network of North America (PANNA) points to recent studies showing that children with high pesticide exposures in the womb are at increased risk of being born with birth defects and are much more likely to encounter developmental delays, ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.

A related issue is the hormone-disrupting bisphenolA (BPA) in our food supply as a result of its widespread use in the lining of cans and other food and drink containers. “Nearly every person in America has some BPA in his or her body,” reports the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a leading green group. “And yet, this food-packaging chemical may cause problems in developing fetuses, infants and children by altering behavior and increasing the risk of prostate cancer, as a government report concluded nearly two years ago.” Other studies have shown links between BPA exposure and a variety of human health problems including erectile dysfunction, breast cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Another big hurdle to a safer, greener food system is our increasing reliance on antibiotics to fight bacterial infections in livestock. The

U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has known since the 1970s that feeding large amounts of antibiotics to healthy livestock breeds antibiotic resistant bacteria, which can in turn render many of the antibiotics used for humans ineffective. In fact, antibiotic resistant infections are already killing 23,000 Americans each year.

A 2012 FDA policy change calls on livestock producers to refrain from using antibiotics to boost growth rates for pigs, cows, sheep and chickens, but it remains to be seen if the industry will toe the line or use loopholes to keep up the steady stream of antibiotics.

PANNA is one of many voices demanding an overhaul of how the FDA regulates our food supply. “We all want to believe that government agencies are protecting us and our food supply from chemical contaminants— but they are not,” reports the group. “They do not have the regulatory framework to do so.” The group would like to see the U.S. trade-in its policy that treats chemicals as “innocent until proven guilty” for something akin to Europe’s regulatory system, where a “health-protective precautionary approach” dictates which chemicals are approved for widespread use.

Commissioned work by

Vargas-Suarez

UNIVERSAL May 2—August 2, 2014 MACLA, 510 South First Street, San José, CA 95113 San Jose CALIFORNIA MACLA/Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana presents COSMOS CODEX, a commissioned, site-specific work by artist Vargas-Suarez UNIVERSAL. This is MACLA’s first art exhibition dedicated to the relationship between art, astronomy and space research, the artist’s first solo show in California and the first time he has publicly exhibited sculptural objects.

Vargas-Suarez UNIVERSAL (VSU) is primarily known for large-scale murals, paintings, drawings, and sound recordings. He sources American and Russian spaceflight programs, astronomy, and aerospace architecture to create commissioned, studio-based and public artworks for museums, galleries, private and public spaces. A major aspect of the exhibition is VSU’s

dialogue with scientists and other subject matter experts at the NASA Ames Research Center to gather information directly informing the artworks in the exhibition.

Vargas-Suarez is exploring concepts for retrieving materials from Mars, asteroids and other orbiting bodies in our solar system with the intention of allowing artists, architects and designers access to these materials to expand and explore possibilities not available to them with traditional materials available here on Earth.

Mónica Ramírez-Montagut, who curated the exhibition and is MACLA’s Senior Curator and Associate Director, says, “VSU’s work bridges space research and

is the ideal setting for COSMOS CODEX. San José in particular is a place where artists, scientists, thinkers, and other creative minds can find ways in which science can inform art and viceversa.

The exhibition installation in MACLA’s gallery will be set up as a mock “clean room,” or spacecraft processing facility, typically found at NASA operations centers.

The installation will include hand-intervened new digital prints, murals, paintings, sculptural objects, and a video produced in collaboration with artist Barbora Bereznakova.

This is an opportunity for both disciplines to come together to create unique projects which engage a broad community of artists, scientists, students, and others to discuss questions which both art and science ask: what is our place in the universe? How do we conceptualize, idealize, or represent our position here? How can art present scientific data in compelling ways and how can science be a source of inspiration for artists?

MACLA, positioned in Silicon Valley, a fertile area for art, science, and innovation,

Es recomendable escuchar canciones y melodías con mensajes positivos que contagien entusiasmo. Los ritmos tropicales resultan óptimos para levantar el ánimo y avivar el espíritu. La música armoniza el ambiente, alimenta de energía a los sortilegios y aleja las malas vibraciones; es además propicia para la concentración, la reflexión, la filosofía, el ejercicio físico y mental, las prácticas mágicas, la relajación y el amor.

(NOTIMEX) Sin asegurar la continuidad de José Luis Trejo como técnico de Pumas de la UNAM, la directiva del equipo sostuvo que el proyecto del club es regresar a la mística e identidad que lo ha caracterizado a lo largo de su historia.

(NOTIMEX) El delantero brasileño Neymar Jr vivió este miércoles “uno de los días más felices” de su vida, tras conocer que está considerado por el técnico de la selección, Luiz Felipe Scolari, para disputar en casa la Copa del Mundo 2014.

Luego de que el timonel diera a conocer la lista de los 23 jugadores que participarán

en la cita del orbe, donde el jugador del Barcelona está incluido, éste publicó a través de una red social que su sueño de jugar para su país se volvió realidad.

«No tengo dudas de que es uno de los días más felices de mi vida. Hoy se volvió realidad un sueño que tengo desde que era niño. Siempre fui en busca de mis sueños y

éste fue siempre uno de los principales», expresó.

Neymar publicó también una fotografía con el jersey de la “verdeamarela” y manifestó que llegó el momento de representar a su país en la justa deportiva más importante del balompié internacional, donde se marcará el debut del atacante blaugrana en una Copa del Mundo.

En declaraciones a los medios de comunicación el director deportivo de la institución, Mario Trejo, indicó que todavía no se tiene asegurado el proyecto con el estratega.Agregó que Pumas de la UNAM tiene definidos sus objetivos, como es el trabajo de cantera, el buen juego y recuperar la identidad universitaria.

“No habrá una inversión fuerte... lo que queremos es apoyar a las fuerzas básica, tiene que regresar la filosofía de este club; tuvimos altibajos pero creo que ahora estamos recuperados para comenzar a pensar en mejores cosas, esto como opinión del club”, declaró. En ese sentido, explicó que parte de lo que

se quiere mejorar es la situación con selección nacional, donde los felinos por ahora no tienen un convocado.

“Por ello queremos regresar al modelo de cantera, darle el lugar a alguien de abajo antes que a un extranjero, para que pueda ir a selección e incluso a Europa a jugar después”.

De esta manera, el director deportivo del club universitario dejó en claro que con José Luis no está descartado nada en un sentido u otro, porque todavía tiene que venir la reunión con el consejo técnico donde se hablará de los puntos de cada uno para

saber si es posible entablar un acuerdo. “Cuando José Luis tomó el equipo no tenía duda de que era el idóneo, aunque hubo más opciones, pero ahora hay que ver hacia dónde vamos, qué proyecto tiene, porque también tiene que encajar con esto que estoy diciendo de que el club ahora que está sanado busca concretar”, puntualizó. El directivo auriazul expuso que la continuidad es una opción real, aunque todavía no hay nada garantizado, y será hasta este viernes cuando tenga una decisión sobre la designación del timonel para el próximo torneo.
