Washington Hospital Hosts Free Workshops for Women

A

19-year breast cancer survivor, Nesly Moquette knows firsthand that battling cancer can be rough. That’s why she is an American Cancer Society (ACS) volunteer, organizing group workshops for the “Look Good…Feel Better” program at the Washington Women’s Center and other East Bay locations.

“After I went through cancer treatments, I wanted to provide positive support to others who were fighting the disease,” she recalls. “I worked with the American Cancer Society’s Reach for Recovery program for many years. Then when they launched the Look Good…

Feel Better program several years ago, I decided to help with that, too. I lost some of my hair because of chemotherapy, so I know that changes in your appearance can be disheartening. I think people recover better when they look better, which is the objective of Look Good…Feel Better.”

Look Good…Feel Better is a collaborative effort of the ACS, the Personal Care Products Council Foundation and the National Cosmetology Association (NCA). The program is a free, nonmedical service to help women with cancer improve their appearance and self-esteem, enabling them to manage their treatment and recovery with greater confidence. Small group workshops provide hands-on instruction on makeup, skin care and nail care, as well as ways to deal with hair loss by using wigs, turbans and scarves. The program also provides free makeup kits with products from well-known companies and high-quality wigs.

Washington Hospital has been hosting Look Good…Feel Better “makeover” workshops led by Moquette and Shirley Fraga, a licensed esthetician whose husband is a cancer survivor, for small groups of women for many years.

“The workshops are open to all women with cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy, chemotherapy or other treatments,” says Washington Women’s Center Coordinator Kathy Hesser, RN. “The workshops are for

due to their treatments, having the right wig and sensitive cosmetics can help them maintain their dignity and confidentiality,” Hesser explains. “They don’t want to be seen and known just as a cancer patient. I’ve seen some patients

women only. A female translator or caregiver may accompany the patient. Male companions are welcome to relax in one of the coffee shops or cafés located adjacent to the Women’s Center.”

Hair loss and skin problems caused by radiation and chemotherapy not only may detract from cancer patients’ appearance, but also may expose them to unwanted scrutiny from other people, according to Hesser.

“For women with cancer who are losing their hair or who have skin problems

with these wigs, and I didn’t even know they were wigs. They come in a variety of styles and color preferences, and the esthetician can help personalize the style of the wig. She also can teach participants how to draw in eyebrows, camouflage unusual skin pigmentation and tie on headscarves. It really is a very special program that helps women learn to care for themselves.”

Look Good…Feel Better workshops currently take place in the Washington Women’s Center in the Washington

West Building at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. The free workshops for the coming year are scheduled for Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. on the following dates: • January 23 • March 19 • June 11 • August 13 • October 15 • November 26 Workshops are scheduled during the evenings so they won’t interfere with daytime work schedules or doctor appointments. Because the size of the workshops is limited, registration is required. Individual consultations with a volunteer cosmetologist also may be available for cancer patients who are unable to attend a group workshop.

“Our goal is to provide a comfortable environment where women can feel safe asking questions and trying cosmetic products and wigs,” says Moquette. “I even bring in my prosthesis and the sleeve I wear to avoid lymphedema so the women can see what they look like.

“We generally start with the makeup session first, and then try wigs on at the end,” she adds. “The one thing we love more than anything else is to meet a woman who comes in with no hair and help her find the perfect wig. And the reactions from the husbands are wonderful, too!”

To register for a workshop or inquire about other Look Good…Feel Better services such as individual consultations or free wigs, call 1-800-227-2345. For more information about the Look Good…Feel Better program, visit the ACS Web site at www.cancer.org or www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org. A Look Good…Feel Better for Men brochure is available at www.lookgoodfeelbetterformen.org.

Pressed Flower Art Display, continued from page 1 woman’s home in Hayward. Noticing a pressed flower painting, he asked where he could buy such a painting. The woman did not have an answer, so Xiao decided to create the art on his own. With no formal training, Xiao began to make his pressed flower paintings. “I love nature so much, and pressed flower art is a wonderful way to keep nature from going away, because nothing can replace nature’s beauty and quality,” says Xiao. “If I can maintain nature’s original color and life and transform them into pictures, it could be a wonderful creation.”

According to Xiao, one piece of pressed flower art may take weeks or even months to complete. The process begins by collecting and drying various flowers and plants; many are too withered or faded to be used. The most wellpreserved specimens are selected.

Nature’s creations are the center of attention in Xiao paintings: a waterfall scene with rocks formed by pressed mushroom caps, a peacock made entirely of feathers and different parts of flowers and plants, and an under-the-sea scene in which each fish is created by using a single flower petal. When asked which creation is his favorite, Xiao points to a beautiful painting of a hawk devouring salmon, explaining how he created the piece, even using hibiscus flowers to create the hawk’s talons. “My dream is to publish a book about the lost art of pressed flowers, writing about the procedures, the history, and giving a step-by-step demonstration.”

Xiao’s art will be on display in the Milpitas Library’s display cases and the south

wing until March 31. There is no entrance fee; the exhibit is open during gallery operating hours.

Pressed Flower Art Display at Milpitas Library Through March 31 Monday-Thursday: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

formation and directions. Contact the band directly at redpaint@mindspring.com to be added to the Evite invitation list. Space at High Street Station is limited, so if you want to go, sign up now.

Red Paint was formed in October 2006. Members include Colin Close (lead vocal, rhythm guitar), Shaun Reid (lead guitar), Steve Schaefer (bass), and Tony Herrin (drums). The band plays about half original material and half carefully selected covers.

The vast majority of the original songs are composed by Colin.

Copies of the new 11-song CD will be available at the event at a special event-only price of just $5.

High Speed Rail Board re-affirms Antelope Valley route

continued from page 11

2012, to continue moving forward with a proposed route through Palmdale.

“After reviewing the study results and listening to comments from the communities, it’s very clear keeping the route in the Antelope Valley is the right decision,” said Board Chair Thomas J. Umberg. “The excitement we have seen out of Palmdale and their commitment to promote a strong system is exactly the kind of partnership we appreciate as we work to develop this critical statewide project.”

The Authority recently re-examined the Central Valley-to-Los Angeles Basin segment, including a route along I-5 in Southern California that extends over the Grapevine. The Grapevine alignment was originally studied in the 2003-2005 Statewide Programmatic Environmental Review and did not advance because preliminary information suggested it could cost more than the Antelope Valley route.

“Due to many changes which had occurred over time, we had to consider as many alternatives as possible to ensure the best statewide system possible,” said Roelof van Ark, CEO of the Authority. “We conducted a conceptual study to update the engineering data from 2005 to see if the Grapevine route would save us time, distance and money. This was a prudent time to re-evaluate both routes, which have changed since the initial studies.

“This re-evaluation makes it clear that running the train through the Antelope Valley will connect people in one of the

county’s fastest-growing areas, have fewer environmental impacts and afford more flexibility in route selection,” van Ark said.

Work on the two alignments in the Antelope Valley continued while the conceptual study was underway.

Elected officials, including the mayors of Lancaster, Palmdale and Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, expressed support for the Antelope Valley route as the meeting approached.

More than 300 people attended the January 12 meeting held at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s

Page 13

board room; almost 100 spoke on this decision.

“The results of this most recent study, along with feedback from residents of the area, have made it clear that this will be the most operationally successful alignment and serve to the great benefit of the region,” said Umberg.

In a non-action item, the Board discussed its Strategic Energy Plan and sustainability framework.

The Plan includes strategies for powering the highspeed train on 100 percent renewable energy in a cost-effective manner and the sustainability framework coordinates their implementation. It was developed by the Sustainability Partnership, collaboration between the Authority, the Federal Railroad Administration, Housing and Urban Development, Region 9, and other governmental bodies.

About 120 small business owners, mostly from Los Angeles County, visited a separate conference room at the event to ask Authority representatives questions about its Small and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and to receive contracting opportunity information.

The program was developed to ensure small businesses in California are able to access contracts related to the construction of high-speed rail. The Authority has called for a 30 percent goal for small business involvement in the project.

Short sale vs foreclosure SUBMITTED BY ELAINE WONG-BIGEL The Rotary Club of Fremont, Union City and Newark is sponsoring a free community housing-awareness seminar, "Short Sale vs Foreclosure," on January 31, 2012, at 7 p.m.

Homeowners may have the option of a short sale to avoid foreclosure. The property is sold for less than the outstanding mortgage. The lender will pay selling fees and it will not cost the borrower/seller anything. A short sale can save the homeowner's credit score. The lender may even pay moving expenses through the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives, a federal program.

Anyone, who is unable to maintain their mortgage commitment and has not entered the foreclosure process, should find out more about available options. Do not lose your home to foreclosure.

Call 1-800-238-8388 ext 3 to register for the seminar. Space is limited to 30 attendees.

Short sale vs Foreclosure Tuesday, January 31 7 - 8 p.m.

BY DANIELA PETROFF AP FASHION WRITER

MILAN (AP), Jan 14 - A grass green pullover, a similar style in tobacco brown and a series of collars embroidered with naif animal designs, were the only bright lights in the otherwise total black Jil Sander menswear collection for the winter of 2013.

Pale-faced models walked one-by-one through a stage door onto a dimly lit runway in black coats, black jackets, black trousers, black gloves and classic black laced shoes during Saturday's presentation of Belgian designer Raf Simons, latest collection for the label known for its minimalist style.

This round, more than minimalist, the collection is monochromatic and at times monotonous.

The predominant look is tailored, with leather the favorite material. Jackets tend to fit close to the body, while trousers are super wide and cuffed.

As in other shows seen on opening day of the fourday preview showings for next year's chilly season, double-breasted styles make a come back in a season that promises to dwell on the safe past rather than the rocky present.

Focal point of the revisited look is an extra long, black leather trench coat belted at the waist.

Paired with the omnipresent black leather trousers, gloves and classic lace-ups, it lends a vaguely cloak-and-dagger feel to the entire collection.

“Great, if you're into serial-killer fashion,” one fashionista was overheard commenting after the show.

BY NISHA PATEL As red envelopes are passed around to close friends and family, the spirit of Chinese New Year is in full swing. On Saturday, January 21, the Fremont Main Library will be hosting a Chinese New Year celebration to bring the culture of China to the local community. This

event has become an annual attraction for families, and has been held for the last eight to ten years.

Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. in the children’s area of the library there will be art demonstrations that include calligraphy, paper cutting, and flower arrangements. Also, children will have the opportunity to participate in takehome crafts that include Chinese lanterns and fortune cookie pins.

The main program, emceed by Lena Zee, will be between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. during which various performances will take place in the Fukaya Meeting Room.

There will be a martial arts demonstration by Shaolin Temple, storytelling with Jessica Muh for The Year of the Dragon, and Chinese music.

Moreover, there will be performances by various local groups that include a choir from Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN), California Youth Chinese Symphony, Virtuose International Flute Ensemble, along with a group dance made up of nine siblings from the Academy of Chinese Performing Arts. These groups all have a common purpose of bringing their performing arts and music to the local community.

Leaders Amy Cho and Peggy Chiou have put in countless hours of effort to make this event possible for families to enjoy. They have received great help from local organizations and residents as

well. The main sponsors for the event are the South Bay Chinese Club, Citizens for a Better Community, and the Association of Chinese Schools of Northern California. During the event, eighteen students from Fremont’s Mission San Jose High School’s Chinese class will be leading the paper-cutting design activities, and the Citizens for a Better Community and South Bay Chinese Club will organize the performances, and other local artists have planned the arts and crafts.

“The events’ success will definitely be thanks to the combined efforts from organizations, students, and other local people,” said Amy Cho. This event is a family program, and individuals of all ages are welcome to attend as there will be enjoyable activities for preschoolers, teenagers, and senior citizens. Although Chinese New Year will be on Monday, January 23, it is not too early to start participating in the festive celebrations for the holiday.

SUBMITTED BY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION On January 11, 2012, the Board of Equalization’s Legislative Committee recommended that the Board sponsor legislation creating a collaborative multi-agency partnership to combat the State’s underground economy, which deprives California of an estimated $8 billion in revenues annually.

“Government has the resources and the authority to solve this problem. However, the bureaucratic agencies continue to fight for control and bragging rights, and covertly protect their pyramids at the expense of the public,” said Jerome E. Horton, Board of Equalization Chair. “As a result, we continue to do the same thing, expecting different results, and fail to develop a comprehensive proactive strategy to protect the public and recapture the billions of dollars lost to the black market.”

The Centralized Intelligence Partnership (CIP) is anticipated to increase California’s revenues by accelerating the investigations process, reducing prosecution costs and assisting in the capture of unreported taxes. In addition, the CIP is designed to streamline the complaint process by providing the public with a centralized one-call complaint hotline and make referrals to resources for victims of fraud and human trafficking.

“All efforts aimed at combating the underground economy in a more aggressive manner would be positive to the citizens of the State of California and investing resources to combat this problem would pay huge dividends down the road,” said Jose Mejia, Director of the State Council of Laborers. “Multi-agency efforts make much sense in an effort to protect workers and employers while capturing lost revenue.”

The Board of Equalization collects more than $50 billion annually in taxes and fees supporting state and local government services. It hears business tax appeals, acts as the appellate body for franchise and personal income tax appeals, and serves a significant role in the assessment and administration of property taxes.

The underground economy refers to those individuals and businesses that deal in cash and/or use other schemes to conceal their activities, identities and true tax liabilities from government licensing, regulatory and taxing agencies. Illegal activities of the underground economy range from the sale of stolen or counterfeit products to the exploitation of victims of human trafficking.

Those who operate in the underground economy enjoy the same public services as tax and fee payers, such as hospitals, roads, and police and fire protection, without making the same contributions.

Calif. revenue falls below governor's projections

BY JUDY LIN ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), - Just a week after Gov. Jerry Brown made his pitch for tax hikes and more spending cuts, the state controller on Tuesday reported that California is collecting less tax revenue than the governor projected and warned lawmakers that more cuts may be needed if the slide continues.

Controller John Chiang released his cash report for December and said revenue came in $165 million below what Brown projected last week when he released his budget proposal for the 2012-13 fiscal year, which begins July 1. He said the state's ongoing structural deficit, in which annual spending commitments outpace tax revenue, is continuing despite recent budget cuts.

“Coupled with higher spending tied to unrealized cost savings, these latest revenue figures create growing concern that legislative action may be needed in the near future to ensure that the state can meet its payment obligations,” Chiang said in statement.

The Democratic governor estimated the state is facing a $9.2 billion shortfall on a $92.5 billion budget for the next fiscal year. He wants lawmakers to make cuts to welfare, health care for the poor and other so-

cial programs before asking voters to pass temporary taxes in November.

Democratic lawmakers, who control the Legislature, have indicated they don't want to make those cuts.

“None of this changes our overarching game plan or the fact that we need to generate more revenues to protect schools from devastating cuts,” said Robin Swanson, spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker John Perez.

“We're keeping our eye on the ball here, and that means continuing to figure out substantive solutions to our state's long-term budget plans.”

The controller's office wrote that late December and early January are an important period for estimating state revenue because many taxpayers send final estimated payments to maximize federal tax deductions for the year. The payments help predict revenue because they reflect what taxpayers think they owe on their annual tax returns.

The state reported that while holiday shopping helped improve sales tax receipts, personal income taxes were $70 million below the governor's latest projection. Corporate taxes were about $20 million below the estimates in December.

Brown's finance spokesman, H.D. Palmer, said the $165 million shortfall was out of $8.4 billion in total cash receipts.

“Put it in perspective,” he said.

Palmer said the state should have enough money to get through the fiscal year, which ends June 30.

In releasing his budget proposal last week, Brown made his first campaign pitch for his tax initiative, telling Californians they must choose between paying higher taxes or accepting cuts that would result in three fewer weeks of school, higher college tuition and fewer state park rangers, among other changes.

Without the additional tax revenue, the governor said he will be forced to cut nearly $5 billion to public education along with additional cuts to courts, public universities and other services.

Brown is trying to gather support for a November ballot initiative that would raise the income tax on those making $250,000 or more a year and boost the state sales tax by a half cent. The administration estimated the temporary tax increases would raise about $7 billion a year, but the Legislative Analyst's Office has pegged that figure at around $4.8 billion in additional revenues.

The offices disagree over the amount of revenue to be generated by higher taxes on the wealthy.

The analyst's office is expected to release its assessment of Brown's budget on Wednesday. The taxes would expire in 2017.

Judge to end Calif. prison receiver

BY DON THOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP),- A federal judge on Tuesday ordered California officials to prepare for the end of a six-year, court-ordered oversight of the prison system that has cost taxpayers billions of dollars and helped force a shift of lower-level criminals from state prisons to county jails.

U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson cited improving conditions in the prison system in a three-page order that says “the end of the Receivership appears to be in sight.”

The ruling marks an important milestone in a process that began nearly six years ago when the judge appointed a receiver to run California's prison medical system after finding that an average of one inmate a week was dying of neglect or malpractice. He cited inmate overcrowding as the leading cause, but said in Tuesday's order that conditions have improved.

He praised the better conditions throughout the system, particularly noted during inspections of medical facilities by the prison system's independent inspector general.

“Significant progress has been made,” Henderson wrote, citing the receiver's own report to the federal court last week. “While some critical work remains outstanding - most notably on construction issues - it is clear that many of the goals of the Receivership have been accomplished.”

Gov. Jerry Brown's office issued a statement to The Associated Press, with the Democratic governor praising the decision.

“We have been working very hard to clean up the mess in the prisons and I appreciate the judicial recognition of our efforts,” he said in the statement.

Don Specter, director of the nonprofit Prison Law Office, said it is premature to end the receivership, although he said it is “reasonable to

start thinking about it.”

Conditions have been improving but still “are nowhere near adequate” at many of the prison medical facilities, said Specter, whose group brought the lawsuit against the state.

Moreover, the state has yet to finish building some of the facilities required by the receiver, and the judge has yet to decide what standards the prison system must meet to provide constitutionally adequate medical care, Specter said.

“I understand the governor really wants to end the receivership,” he said. “Having a light at the end of the tunnel might even spur them to make more progress or faster progress, to act quicker or sooner.”

J. Clark Kelso, who took over as receiver in January 2008, looks forward to participating in the talks with state officials but declined further comment, said his spokeswoman, Nancy Kincaid.

Henderson ordered Kelso, state officials and attorneys representing inmates to report by April 30 on when the receivership should end and whether it should continue some oversight role.

The Prison Law Office filed the lawsuit in 2001 and the state settled the case in 2002 by agreeing to improve inmate health care. But Henderson found in 2005 that conditions had not improved, leading to his appointment of a receiver.

Attorneys for inmates asked federal judges in 2007 to rule that prison crowding was a leading cause of the continued poor care. The judges agreed, and required the state to ease prison crowding. That led to a shift that began last year that is sending lower-level inmates from state prisons to county jails.

In a ruling last May, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the lower court's authority in ordering California to reduce inmate crowding as a way to improve medical conditions.

The federal courts had ordered the

state's 33 adult prisons to reduce their total population by 33,000 inmates over a two-year period.

The prison system had an all-time high of 162,268 inmates in 2006.

The receiver's office also was given authority to greatly expand the prison system's medical staff and increase pay significantly.

Henderson said he expects the receiver will continue in a general oversight role, even if the state takes back the authority to run the medical system. That will ensure that care is not diminished in the future.

Federal and state judges or their appointed special masters also oversee most other activities of California's penal system, including dental care, care of the mentally ill and disabled, juvenile offenders, and criminals on parole.

The judge asked parties for advice on when the receivership should end, how long an oversight period might last and when the underlying case on the quality of medical care should end.

Jeffrey Callison, spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said the department ``is ready and eager'' to begin planning for the end of federal oversight of prison medical care.

Under the receivership, the state has built new medical facilities at several prisons, including San Quentin, where Death Row is located. It currently is building a medical complex in Stockton.

The state doubled the amount of money it spent on inmate health care over five years, to more than $15,000 per inmate annually.

Spending controlled by the receiver increased from $948 million before the receiver was appointed to nearly $2.3 billion by 2008, according to the state Department of Finance. Spending on medical care, pharmaceuticals and transporting and guarding inmates declined to $1.8 billion for the current fiscal year. mmm

Battle for control of the basket continued throughout the contest and Logan’s strong showing in the first two quarters held up as American was unable to overcome the eight point deficit of the first half.. Leading scorers for the Logan Colts were Jeremiah Agbayani with 12 points and Inderpreet Dhahan with 11 points.

The Colts could not slow the Cougar attack.

In addition to speed, the Cougars were able to take outside shots despite pressure from the Colts. In the third quarter, Logan tried using a full court press, also with no luck.

Local student places second at U.S. Junior Open Squash Championships

BY CHINMAI RAMAN The U.S. Junior Open Squash Championships is an annual tournament hosted at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. This year, a record field of over 750 competitors, ages 10 to 19 years old, from over 20 countries, entered the competition making it the largest individual junior squash tournament in the world. It is

student Cassandra Ong competed in this year’s U.S. Junior Open and placed second in her age division, GU11 (Girls under 11), beating out the top U.S. players; she lost in the finals to the top-seeded Egyptian girl.

Squash is a racquet sport played by two or four players, comparable to racquetball.

Players compete in a fourwalled court and use a hard,

rubber ball to play the game. A squash racquet is similar to a tennis racket, only more oblique with less surface area.

Squash is like tennis in that it involves a service and hitting the ball back-and-forth between competitors, but the similarities end there. After the initial service, players can hit the ball on the side or back walls at any time, making for a very interesting game.

With such intriguing game play, it is no surprise that there are over 49,908 squash courts in 188 countries around the world.

Although squash is not as popular as many other sports in the U.S., it is one of the fastest growing. In recent years, the West Coast has seen a big growth in new players, probably due to the big influx of middle class immigrants from other countries in Asia, Europe and South America where squash is very popular,. In the

U.S., the East Coast is the "center" of squash. The Ivy League and many other universities have very strong collegiate teams -

Championship winners and runners-up (Cassandra front, far right)

Cassandra started playing squash once a week about two years ago. Both she and her brother Clarence showed a natural aptitude for the game so in 2010, they both began training more intensively, about three to four times a week. Thanks to training with her brother and weekly coaching from squash coaches, Ariel Labra and Jonathan Perry, as well as support and encouragement of other squash players and friends, she

has won many tournaments in her age division (GU11: Girls Under 11) through the year, culminating with her second place finish in the U.S. Junior Open in December. She is on track to end the 2011-2012 tournament season in March 2012 as the topranked GU11 player in the U.S. “The U.S. Junior Open was the biggest tournament we have attended,” says Cassandra’s family. “It was exciting to see so many players from all

over the world compete on the court [and] quite eye opening to see the high level of squash.” Egypt was the most successful country team and won many of the top and second spots. For the U.S. players, it was a great experience and gave them a higher goal to reach for. They meet each other in various other national tournaments and know the level of each other's games, but they realize they have to

step up another level to compete on the world stage.

International competition was a very enriching experience for Cassandra. Although they might compete fiercely on the court, the kids are very friendly off-court and enjoyed meeting each other and playing friendly games on the court. “Harvard set up the facilities very nicely,” says Cassandra. The Harvard Murr Athletic Center is a stateof-the-art facility with 14

squash courts. During the pretournament reception, they set up a court with a speed sensor, and the players enjoyed taking turns hitting the ball to see their top speed. “I think the highest number I saw was from a 17 year-old boy which was 188 miles per hour,” she says.

There was even a Wii station set up for the kids to play an electronic version of the game although some preferred to just have fun playing the real thing!

UN chief to focus on sustaining Arab Spring

BY EDITH M. LEDERER ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED NATIONS (AP), Dec 31 - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in his second term as chief of the United Nations, wants to help people who rose up in the Arab Spring attain and sustain freedom and democracy.

As he embarks on a new five-year term starting New Year's Day, Ban said one of his top priorities is to help Arab countries sustain their moves toward democracy. He also said he intended to do more for young people and women, and address frustrations over the

growing gap between the rich and poor expressed by the Occupy movement.

This is a moment of historic change “which we have to seize and help them,” Ban said.

Ban's ability to influence what happens is limited because the U.N. secretary-general has no independent power over international affairs. It is up to the U.N.'s 193 member states to take action, and only the actions of the powerful 15-member Security Council are legally binding.

But the position is a powerful megaphone, and following his unanimous reelection by the U.N. General Assembly in June

to a second and final five-year term, diplomats say Ban may feel less constrained on the need to satisfy all U.N. members, and may become more outspoken and perhaps more influential on global issues.

Ban said that the uprisings that spread “like a wildfire” across the Middle East and North Africa and inspired demonstrations in the United States and other developed nations were propelled by the younger generation's rebellion against oppression and inequality - and their yearning for democratization.

He won praise in the Middle East and elsewhere for speaking

out early and strongly in support of demonstrators in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen, urging the countries' leaders to listen to their demands.

In Syria, the limitations of his position have been more clear. While Ban has been outspoken against the ongoing attacks on civilians in Syria, he has not been able to influence the deeply divided Security Council to pass a resolution condemning the violence which the U.N. says has killed more than 5,000 people.

On Friday, Ban's spokesman Martin Nesirky expressed the U.N.'s support of an Arab League mission to Syria, saying it was critical that the government give full cooperation and unhindered access to the observers.

During his first five years at the U.N.'s helm, Ban has won plaudits for helping to raise climate change close to the top of the global agenda, for creating a new agency, UN Women, to focus on the fight for gender equality, and for keeping a spotlight on nuclear disarmament and nuclear security.

The secretary-general has traveled more than any of his predecessors on U.N. business, but is far from having a household name. In some polls people still think his immediate predecessor, Kofi Annan, is secretary-general.

The workaholic Ban has also been criticized for his lack of charisma, his low-key style which observers say is typical of his South Korean roots, and his

failure to criticize human rights abuses in powerful countries, especially China and Russia.

Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin recently expressed unhappiness with the secretary-general over his comment that NATO acted within its mandate in its bombing campaign in Libya. Russia has called for an independent U.N. investigation of civilian casualties, claiming NATO overstepped the U.N. mandate to protect civilians and used the bombing campaign to oust Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Syria's President Bashar Assad is also a close Russian ally.

Asked to look back at Ban's first term and ahead to his second, Churkin told AP that his overall performance has been “quite positive”under difficult and stressful circumstances.

“For his second term, there is just one wish, if you will, and one expectation which I'm sure the secretary-general is going to be up to - the secretary-general must continue to serve the entire international community,” he said.

The comments appeared to be an indirect criticism of Ban's pro-Western views on the NATO bombing as well as his criticism of the crackdown by Assad.

Ban said it's important to look at what's happening in Syria and many countries around the world as part of a broader political and historical evolution that began with early yearnings for democracy in Eastern Europe in the 1950s, continued on page 34

This article was written by a group of sixth grade students and friends from Gomes, and Chadbourne Elementary Schools in Fremont. The team is participating in a robotics competition organized by First Lego League (FLL). For this year's theme of "Keep the Food Safe," participants are required to program a robot to solve Food Safety missions, while doing research on a real-world problem. Students must present the research as well as an innovative solution. The team competed and won in East Bay Qualifier round of this competition on November 20, and has advanced to regional competition January 22, from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. at Newark Memorial High School in Newark. For more information, visit http://www.firstlegoleague.org/challenge/2011foodfactor, or contact the team at rkodnani@yahoo.com

ave you heard of First Lego League (FFL)? It is a competition in which kids build robots to solve themed missions and research a real world problem through team-

work. This year’s FLL theme, “Food Factor,” requires research of a food, its contamination risks and current solutions; then creating an innovative solution for the problem that could be even better! We are currently moving on to regional competition after doing well at the qualifier level.

This competition has taught us a lot!

You’ve probably tried or heard of the Japanese dish, Sushi, known for is health benefits and use of raw fish. Sushi is a great food with high levels of protein, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3, while maintaining a low level of fat… it’s tasty too! Those are some of the reasons we chose sushi as our “Food Factor” food.

Sushi consists of cooked rice soaked in vinegar called Shari, seaweed called Nori, and other ingredients called Neta. The most common form of Neta is raw fish. Sushi is usually served with condiments such as soy sauce or wasabi. Sushi can be contaminated in the rice or fish. The fish in sushi can be contaminated with methylmercury, an organic form of mercury, toxaphene, an insecticide, PCBs, and other harmful substances such as bacteria. Most contamination is caused by ocean pollution and improper handling of raw fish. The rice in sushi can also be contaminated with bacteria such as Bacillus Cereus and other contaminants like pesticides.

To learn more about contaminants in sushi, we interviewed Ms. Chithra Malani, a registered nutritionist and dietician from Santa Clara. We also visited a local sushi restaurant and inter-

January 20, 2012

viewed a sushi chef who told us about how he prepares food.

We studied web pages, books, encyclopedias, charts, and other sources, narrowing our focus on contaminants to methylmercury, an organic form of mercury.

Mercury is an elemental metal that is liquid at room temperature. During mining, volcanic eruptions, industrial processes or any other place where there may be mercury deposits or products, the mercury can heat up, converting into a gaseous form, and escape into the atmosphere. It precipitates with the rain, and into the ocean. This mercury is absorbed by tiny organisms, such as algae and becomes methylmercury. As those tiny organisms are consumed by larger creatures and, in turn, by larger fish, levels of methylmercury increase; the largest fish eat those with the highest levels

Page 33

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

of mercury. Fishermen collect and sell these fish.

Why is mercury so bad?

Mercury is a neurotoxin, meaning brain poison. It can damage brain functions and the nervous system. People should avoid fish with high mercury content, especially pregnant or nursing mothers and small children; because the minds of young children have not fully developed and can be affected. Mercury can also cause harm to adults including loss of hearing, vision, and memory.

This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t eat Sushi; Sushi is great! You should just avoid fish with high mercury content, like bluefin tuna, shark, mackerel, and eel.

Some current solutions to avoid methylmercury poisoning is to eat farmed fish which avoids contaminants altogether, or, if you have already ingested the fish, gastric lavage. Gastric

lavage is a process where food from the stomach is pumped out. This process only works if the food is freshly ingested.

If the mercury has already reached the bloodstream, you need to remove it by means of chelation before it affects your body. Chelation is a process in which doctors intravenously insert a chemical, either DMSA or EDTA into the bloodstream. The EDTA and DMSA chemically bond with mercury and other toxic metals. Then the chemical exits the body through the urine.

Two problems with this solution are that the chemical can also bond with vital metals, so you have to take supplements, and that this process happens in a hospital and has to be repeated several times to remove all the mercury.

One part of our project was to come up with an innovative solution. Our solution is a pill that is half DMSA, half EDTA, and the center is iron and calcium. This pill is magnetically charged positive and bonds with metals, mostly mercury; because mercury is negatively charged. The ironcalcium core replenishes those

metals and harmful mercury is removed from the body through the urine. This solution is better than chelation because it can be taken as a pill.

We shared our work and solution at restaurants, to our neighbors, to the community, at YMCA, on a website, at school, in this newspaper, and through brochures to people in our community. Please feel free to visit our website at www.sushisamurai.yolasite.com .Let us know if we missed anything or if you would like to share something about sushi by email at rkodnani@yahoo.com.

Thank you Tri-City Voice for being kind enough to give us our own newspaper article and thanks to all who have contributed to or supported this team. Bon Appétit!

saw democratic governments installed in South Korea and some Asian and African countries, and led to the collapse of communism, the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany in the late 1980s.

“Then, another 20 years, or another generation later, we are seeing such yearnings” in the Arab world, he said.

Ban said the Occupy Wall Street protest that spread from New York throughout the developed world also reflected frustration at the growing gap between the rich and poor people who feel ignored and marginalized.

This is “a generational opportunity for the United Nations to address these issues,” he said at a news conference earlier this month.

Exactly what the U.N. can do remains to be seen.

The U.N. often provides electoral assistance and Ban said it is helping to provide technical and

logistical support for elections in Tunisia and Egypt - and will do so as well in Libya.

He said the United Nations is discussing with world leaders how to provide social and economic support so that young people, women and marginalized groups in particular can find jobs and ``good opportunities.'' He said he is also discussing with his senior advisors other ways in which the U.N. can be relevant and helpful in trying ``to bridge the gap of inequity and provide equal opportunities to as many people as possible.''

U.N. agencies focusing on development, labor and employment, and women are likely to be asked to play a key role.

Egypt's U.N. Ambassador Maged Abdelaziz, whose country heads the 120-member Nonaligned Movement of mainly developing countries, told AP the secretary-general “has been instrumental in garnering support for

developing countries in their efforts to avoid the negative effects” of the financial and economic crisis, the food crisis, the energy crisis and climate change.

He said NAM is hoping that Ban will push for “tangible results” at the U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development, known as Rio+20, to be held in Brazil in June - a follow-up to the first international summit about the environment in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.

At his year-end news conference, Ban said that at Rio+20 “we must connect the dots - between climate change, energy, food, water, health and education, and oceans.”

Egypt's Abdelaziz said NAM is also looking for the U.N. to play an ``enhanced role'' in trying to achieve political settlements to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; Somalia, which hasn't had a functioning government since 1991; and the Great Lakes region of central Africa, which is plagued by violence.
