Peninsula Family Ser-

vice, founded more than 60 years ago in San Mateo County, held its Santa Clara County Expansion Event for its Ways to Work Vehicle Loan Program on Novem-ber 14. Nationally recog-nized, the Ways to Work Ve-hicle Loan Program offers hard-working families the opportunity to access low-cost loans to assist in the purchase of pre-owned cars needed to more easily meet job demands while raising children.

The program is avail-able to families who live or work in either San Mateo or Santa Clara County and are in need of a reliable vehicle but do not have a credit rat-ing that enables them to get a traditional loan or who could only get one at a very high interest rate. The pro-gram was launched to help combat predatory lending practices targeting families struggling to get ahead.

Highlighting the impor-

tance of the Ways to Work Vehicle Loan Program, Rob Lajoie, Financial Empow-

erment Program Director said, “Convenient transpor-tation is such an important part of our way of life in the Bay Area. Families with-out a reliable vehicle often find themselves struggling to hold onto their jobs and maintain their quality of life. The Ways to Work Ve-hicle Loan Program pro-vides them with access to affordable car loans that can help them keep their jobs and maintain a stable home for their families.”

The Emcee for the Ways

to Work Expansion Event was Carolyn Johnson, ABC7 News anchor and a member of the Peninsula Family Service board of di-rectors. Additional speak-ers included Jeff Faulkner, President, Ways to Work, Inc.; Glen Brooks, Jr., In-terim Executive Director at Peninsula Family Service; Celeste Fiore, VTA; Jim Dale, United Way Silicon Valley; and a commenda-tion from Lara McCabe, policy aide in the office of Supervisor Dave Cortese. Closing out the event were two client speakers, Regina and Alisha, with Alisha re-ceiving a ceremonial car key from Audi Stevens Creek

where she recently pur-chased her vehicle.

Ways to Work, Inc. cur-

rently operates 50 sites in 22 states and to date has helped nearly 30,000 fami-lies access more than $60 million in affordable car loans. The program also provides focused financial education, credit repair guidance and individual coaching that helps families become financially capable and self-sufficient. The ma-jority of Ways to Work loan recipients are single moth-ers who make multiple stops throughout their day in order to transport chil-dren to and from childcare, commute to and from work, and secure basic necessities for their families.

More than 94 percent

of program participants report that their car loan helped them maintain or improve their employ-ment situation; 58 percent opened a bank account; 50 percent reported an in-crease in earnings; and 26 percent indicated that they have increased their edu-cational attainment since receiving the Ways to Work loan.

Luisa Fernanda MonteroLA RED HISPANA

Después de haber sido

testigos y participes de las elecciones que le dieron al presidente Barack Obama la oportunidad de extender por cuatro años su estadía en la Casa Blanca, creo que es sano y necesario reflex-ionar sobre nuestro papel, como hispanos, en el ejerci-cio democrático.

Es claro que el electorado

hispano tiene mucho que celebrar, pues su partici-pación fue determinante. Hemos confirmado que las eras en las que se nos podía ignorar como grupo pasa-ron a la historia.

América ha cambiado.

El entendimiento del mapa demográfico nacional, de sus fluctuaciones y par-ticularidades llevó a los demócratas a triunfar en las urnas. El equipo del se-ñor Obama entendió que el electorado es de colores y se negó a subestimar el papel cada vez más protagónico de hispanos, afroamerica-nos y asiáticos.

De acuerdo con estadísti-

cas publicadas por medios nacionales, en las elecciones del martes el voto blanco representó el 72 por ciento en las urnas. De ese porcen-taje Obama recibió el 39 por ciento. Pero en contraste, se llevó el 80 por ciento de los votos no blancos.

El 93 por ciento de los vo-

tos afroamericanos fueron para Obama. El presidente acaparó además el 73 por ciento de los votos asiáticos y el 71 por ciento de los vo-tos hispanos que a propósi-to, y en contra de muchos pronósticos, superó el por-centaje de votos hispanos demócratas del 2008, que fue del 67 por ciento.

En otras palabras, como

lo refleja un reporte del Centro Hispano Pew, el 71 por ciento de los latinos votaron por el presidente Obama, mientras solo el 27 por ciento lo hizo por el

candidato republicano Mitt Romney.

La misma fuente revela

que los latinos conformaron en estas elecciones el 10 por ciento del electorado. En el 2008 fuimos el 9 por ciento y en el 2004 el 8 por cien-to, lo que quiere decir que nuestra voz y nuestra par-ticipación van en aumento. Otro motivo para celebrar.

Pero nuestros deberes

con la democracia en la que vivimos no terminan con nuestro voto. Si bien es cierto que hemos contado y que somos más, también es cierto que podemos mejorar y contar más. Tenemos que lograr que nuestra partici-pación aumente. Eso no es sólo posible, es también in-dispensable.

Debemos seguir traba-

jando para que los líderes que elegimos cumplan con sus promesas y avancen en la generación de los cam-bios que necesitamos como sociedad. Debemos ser ciudadanos participativos. Tenemos que involucrar-nos con las actividades de nuestros representantes, concejales, alcaldes, congre-sistas y demás funcionarios

elegidos y hacer parte de los grupos civiles de acción comunitaria y política de nuestras localidades y esta-dos.

Analistas, activistas y

políticos coinciden en que este es el tiempo de la refor-ma migratoria. De acuerdo con Frank Sharry, presi-dente de America´s Voice “las placas tectónicas se es-tán acomodando en tormo a la inmigración. El hecho de que voces líderes de mov-imientos conservadores se estén uniendo a los líderes republicanos en el llamado a una reforma migratoria que incluya un alivio para los más de 11 millones de inmigrantes indocumen-tados que hay en Estados Unidos es un gran avance que les dará la oportunidad a los republicanos de hacer lo correcto y ayudar a pasar la legislación de la reforma”.

Y es que de eso se trata,

de hacer lo correcto. De participar y de no olvidar que tenemos el deber y el derecho de levantar la voz cuando nuestros derechos o los de nuestros congéneres se ven violentados. Tenemos mucho por hacer. Usted, ¿ya está listo?

Esperanza, acción y democracia

NOVEMBER 16 - NOVEMBER 22, 2012 NOVEMBER 16 - NOVEMBER 22, 2012

Last Wednesday, Octo-ber 31st, I looked out the window viewing the steady stream of wildlife that is indigenous to the micro-ecosystem which I, as a gardening hobbyist try to sustain. The Cherry tree re-tains its big leafs; the apri-cot tree is beginning to lose its yellowish foliage; each harbors small chickadees with a black skull cap, and the several hanging baskets having bright red impatiens flowers contrast with the dark green foliage beyond. Squirrels are chasing each other….I believe its their mating season. All have very furry, fluffy tails which portend of a lengthy winter.

In the course of seasons, I have watched raccoons and field rats foraging, opos-sums, mallard ducks, artic geese, field mice, blue jays, robins, morning doves, and a host of flying insects. White winged butterflies and monarchs, which are magnificent. Even the ter-mites have behaved by only being in the firewood. The house is warm and comfort-able, electric power is on; computer and its printer works. Phone lines, radio, and TV work; water lines, sewer lines, and utility lines all are doing their job. The furnace, stove, dishwasher, and clothes washer all work when used. These are all the mundane services which we take for granted until we do not have them.

Be thankful that we live in a valley, Silicon Valley aka Santa Clara Valley, whose soil is fertile, weather is en-vied by others who come here and stay, and whose

Mediterranean climate is superb. Be thankful. This year the rain came in se-quences that supported the winter vegetables planted already. Cauliflower, onions, chard, Brussels sprouts, garlic, sweet peas, lettuce, spinach and chives. All need no watering because the morning dew seems to be enough.

Despite a high unemploy-ment rate, most people have food, shelter, and social re-lationships. We focus on the needy, handicapped, failing elderly, and devilish youth who present challenges of different sorts. All these can be addressed and managed if we share our abundance gracefully with thanks to an ecosystem which we enjoy and did not create. If any-thing, we have the power to destroy it with our abuses and negligence. Let us be thankful that all works well where we live. But, there are those who are not so fortu-nate at this time.

Recently, along the East-ern Atlantic Seaboard of America, stretching from Florida to Massachusetts a mega storm named Hur-ricane Sandy interrupted the presidential election campaign….in fact all ‘nor-mal’ social and economic activities were suspended for two days. Thankfully only about 150 individual’s lives were lost, however, millions lost all the services which we still have and take for granted. Today, some 14 days later, communities are still without electric pow-er, reliable and accessible transportation, heating and lighting systems that pro-vide comfortable heat and light. All services and utili-ties have been interrupted or destroyed by the destruc-tive forces of Hurricane Sandy.

Here in Silicon Valley, life is good; our normal activi-ties have not been impacted much. . At our local airports,

only those flights to airports located along the Atlantic Seaboard were cancelled. We take our good life here for granted, however some-day a major earthquake is scheduled to happen here. Will we be prepared? Are we thankful that it has not happened yet? Unfortu-nately, too many of us are not even thinking about becoming prepared. And too many of us do not think that our modest efforts amount to much.

Be reminded that mil-lions of voters who ignored all that Super-PAC propa-ganda (costing the ultra wealthy $380 million, are the ones who gave us the opportunity to demon-strate that our individual votes cannot be bought nor influenced by abusive monetary power. Let’s be thankful that we are intel-ligent enough to know what is good for the people of this community and ultimately this nation.

Let us be thankful this next week on Thanksgiving Day that we are comfort-able. Some of our abun-dance needs to be shared with those unfortunates. Unlike many other societ-ies, Americans are altruis-tic. We help each other. We have organizations whose purpose and mission is to serve victims.

Today, Catholic Charities, Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way and several others are all addressing the needs of millions along the Eastern Atlantic Seaboard who, in a brief encounter with a mega storm, lost all material goods possessed. These victimized millions are experiencing misery and suffering. Be thank-ful it is not we by making a contribution to one of these national charities assisting them. Share your abun-dance thankfully

Graduating on time seems impossible for many students these days. Some cannot sign up for the neces-sary classes needed to gradu-ate because those classes are not available. While other simply do not have the funds to pay for their education due to rising tuition cost.

On Thursday, November

8, three student-planned events held at CSU East Bay, San Jose State and SF State to express the frustration that students were feeling towards the CSU.

“The purpose of these three events is to bring awareness of the proposed fees to general public and to create a place for students to speak out against the new fees,” said Herlina Aguirre, a student at San Jose State.

“The board of trustees’ reasons for the fee is to stop students from abusing the system. However, we are the ones being abused. It’s im-possible for many students to get the classes needed be-cause administration keeps reducing the sections offered and sometimes only offering them every other semester.”

The National Hispanic

University anunció que ha formado un Consejo Consultivo compuesto por miembros prominentes de todo el país. El consejo será encabezado por el Honora-ble Henry Cisneros, ex se-cretario del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban De-velopment –HUD-). Este consejo proveerá dirección estratégica y sus miembros servirán como embajado-res de la universidad ante el público, así como ante el sector privado y las organi-zaciones sin fines de lucro.

“The National Hispanic University tiene una base

educativa robusta, un com-probado historial de éxito de sus estudiantes y, por encima de todo, un noble objetivo que yo avalo com-pletamente el de incremen-tar el número de graduados latinos” comentó el señor Cisneros. “Me siento hon-rado de fungir como presi-dente del consejo y de apo-yar la misión y vision de la unviersidad.”

El señor Cisneros sirvió como secretario del HUD durante la administración del Presidente Bill Clinton, de 1993 a 1997. Antes de esta distinción, sirvió cuatro términos como alcalde de su ciudad natal, San Anto-nio, Texas. Como presiden-te ejecutivo de CityView, el señor Cisneros permanence activamente involucrado en

inversión urbana y cons-trucción para proyectos de revitalización de la comu-nidad en las grandes ciuda-des de todo Estados Unidos.

Además del señor Cisne-ros, el Consejo Consultivo cuenta con: Janet Murguía, presidente del National Council of La Raza; César Conde, presidente de Uni-vision Networks; Ronald Blackburn-Moreno, presi-dente y director general de la asociación ASPIRA; Nely Galán, empresaria de los medios y promotora y de-fensora Latina.

2002, tuition was $1,248. Now in 2012, tuition is $5,500. Proposition 30 was suppose to help lower tu-ition fees, but according to Aguirre, that is not the case.

“The board of trustees considered these fees in their last September meeting,” Aguirre said. “They were recommending them no matter the passage of prop 30. Now that prop 30 has passed. They have changed some fees, but they are still considering raising the fees.”

There are three new pro-

posed fees (The Super Se-nior Fee, Course Repeat Fee, and Third Tier Fee) that are being considered by the CSU

“All three of the fees are burdening students who have been struggling for past years. The super senior fee is charging student, who are over 160 units, $372 per unit. If they cannot pay it, they have to drop out,” Agu-irre said. ‘The Course repeat fee is charging students, who need to repeat a course, $91 per repeated unit. So a 3-unit course would come out to be $273. Also, the stu-

dent will not be allowed to take over 15 units.

The third tier fee is if stu-dent wants to go over 18 units for a semester, they would be charged almost $200 per unit.”

Students are all uncertain if they will be able to get a job after graduating due to the current struggling econ-omy.

“We are concerned like any other person. Right now, jobs are scarce,” Aguirre said.

With the holiday season fast approaching, CDPH Director and State Health Officer Dr. Ron Chapman reminded con-sumers to take special, simple precautions to prevent illness that can be caused by food due to insufficient cooking, inad-equate cooling and improper food handling practices.

“By following simple, easy-to-remember food safety tips, consumers can ensure that holiday feasts do not become a source of foodborne disease,” said Chapman.

The federal Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention estimates that 48 million ill-nesses, 128,000 hospitaliza-tions, and 3,000 deaths an-nually in the United States are related to foodborne diseases.

Foodborne diseases can be prevented by simple safety

steps in the kitchen. Wash hands with soap and warm water before and after food preparation, and especially af-ter handling raw foods. Clean all work surfaces, utensils and dishes with hot soapy water and rinse with hot water after each use.

Be sure to cook foods thor-oughly and to refrigerate ad-equately between meals. For more food safety tips, visit www.cdph.ca.gov/documents/foodsafetytips2011.pdf.

“Food safety is something we should think about every day of the year,” added Chap-man. “Properly prepared and handled foods can assure us all a safe meal.”

Bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 are re-sponsible for many foodborne illnesses, caused by eating con-taminated foods. Contamina-tion usually occurs as a result of poor food handling practices at the farms, factories, restau-

rants or homes.

Symptoms of foodborne dis-ease include fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea which may be bloody. Most affected people recover from foodborne illnesses within a week. Some, however, may develop com-plications that require hospi-talization. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and persons with a weakened im-mune system are at highest risk for potentially life-threat-ening complications.

Additional resources for information on food safety include the Federal Food and Drug Administration Food In-formation line at 1-888-SAFE-FOOD (1-888-723-3366) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854). Consum-ers can also access the national Partnership for Food Safety Education’s “Fight BAC” (bac-teria) Web site www.fightbac.org

(FAMILY FEATURES)

Desea brindar lo mejor para su próxima reunión fes-tiva a fin de disfrutar de una comida memorable para su familia y amigos. Lo logrará con unos simples consejos y recetas más simples de lo que cree.

Consejos divertidos

—Preparación de la noche anterior: ahorre tiempo al picar las verduras o preparar el glaseado el día anterior. Por ejemplo, prepare la salsa de las brus-quetas de queso de cabra con salsa de bayas y tomillo la noche anterior. El día de la fiesta, tueste las rodajas de pan 10 minutos antes de la llegada de los invitados y el delicioso aperitivo estará listo en minutos.

—Sea creativo: permita que los huéspedes den el toque final a sus platos; para ello, ofrezca diversos ader-ezos. Los wafles de almen-dras y frambuesas servirán de base para fomentar la creatividad de familiares y amigos.

—Haga un esfuerzo gru-pal: pida a los invitados traer sus guarniciones o postres festivos favoritos a fin de complementar el plato principal y, de esta manera, generar mayor var-

iedad. Si preparará el jamón glaseado con cerezas en tar-ta roja como plato principal, infórmeselo a los invitados para que puedan planificar en consecuencia.

Cada una de estas suger-encias incorpora una deli-ciosa receta donde se utili-zan conservas de Smucker’s Orchard’s Finest, una línea gourmet de conservas pre-paradas con las mejores fru-tas de los mejores lugares. Las conservas contienen sólo cuatro ingredientes y aportan un excelente sabor a los platos dulces y sabro-sos de las fiestas. Segura-mente encontrará un sabor para cada invitado: desde las conservas clásicas Pacific Mountain Strawberry hasta la nueva conserva Lakeside Raspberry Cranberry.

Jason AldermanPRACTICAL MONEY

Al igual que muchas otras medidas económicas, las donaciones de caridad en los Estados Unidos todavía deben volver a los niveles que tenían antes de la rece-sión. De acuerdo al Infor-me Anual de Estadísticas Filantrópicas de Giving USA, las contribuciones de caridad alcanzaron un to-tal de $298.4 mil millones en 2011 – 4 por ciento por encima de 2010, pero 11 por ciento por debajo de los ni-veles de 2007.

La gran mayoría de es-tas contribuciones (73 por ciento) provinieron de per-sonas individuales, lo cual demuestra que, incluso en tiempos de dificultad eco-nómica, la gente encuentra maneras de apoyar a orga-nizaciones que ayudan a quienes tienen menos.

Debido a que la mitad de todas las donaciones se realizan entre la época de Acción de Gracias y Año Nuevo, es un buen momen-to para destacar algunos recaudos a tomar para que su donación cause el mayor impacto posible, tanto en la gente a la que desea ayudar como a usted en definiti-va; también recordarles a las personas mayores sobre una política tributaria que fue modificada el año pa-sado:

Requisitos para realizar contribuciones. Si usted detalla gastos en su declara-ción de impuestos de 2012, las contribuciones de cari-dad que tenga previsto de-ducir deben realizarse antes de fin de año. Eso significa que puede hacer un pago con tarjeta de crédito o dé-bito o matasellar un cheque antes de la medianoche del 31 de diciembre de 2012.

Debe presentar un recibo

para reclamar deducciones por efectivo o propiedad, sin importar cuál sea su im-porte. Para contribuciones menores a $250 es sufi-ciente presentar un cheque cancelado o un resumen de tarjeta de crédito, pero para importes superiores a $250 se requiere una declaración por escrito de la entidad de beneficencia. Consulte la Publicación 526 del IRS para obtener detalles (www.irs.gov).

Verifique la condición de exención fiscal. Para que se pueda deducir su contribu-ción, la organización bené-fica debe estar inscrita como exenta de impuestos ante el IRS. Es importante desta-car que en los últimos años, el IRS ha rechazado la con-dición de exención fiscal de una gran cantidad de orga-nizaciones sin fines de lucro por no haber presentado in-formes anuales durante tres años consecutivos, como lo exige la ley. Utilice la herra-mienta de Comprobación de Organizaciones Exentas del IRS (Exempt Organi-zations Select Check) para verificar si la organización reúne los requisitos.

Saque el máximo prove-cho de su dinero. Verifique que la organización sin fi-nes de lucro beneficiaria de su donación esté bien admi-nistrada. Lo ideal es que la organización destine 75 por ciento de las contribuciones a programas que prestan servicio a sus beneficiarios en lugar de gastar en sa-larios, publicidad, recau-daciones de fondos y otros gastos administrativos.

nvestigue el sitio web de la organización, los infor-mes anuales y la declara-ción de la misión y solicite una copia de su Formulario 990 del IRS, el cual detalla de qué manera se gastan las contribuciones. Converse con miembros del personal o voluntarios, o trabaje us-

ted mismo como volunta-rio. Si conoce a alguien que haya utilizado los servicios de la organización, pregún-tele acerca de la eficacia y la asistencia que brinda a sus clientes.

Otros sitios de utilidad: las listas de las 10 Principa-les (“Top 10”) y las seccio-nes de Consejos y Recursos (“Tips and Resources”) de Charity Navigator brin-dan útiles herramientas de evaluación (www.charity-navigator.org). Además, GuideStar ofrece preguntas útiles para hacerles a los potenciales destinatarios y consejos para seleccionar una entidad de beneficencia (www.guidestar.org).

No más distribuciones directas de IRA. A fines de 2011 expiró un importante alivio impositivo para per-sonas mayores en relación a las contribuciones de ca-ridad. Antes, las personas mayores de 70 ½ años po-dían contribuir con hasta $100,000 directamente desde su cuenta IRA hacia la entidad benéfica, lo cual contaba para su Distribu-ción Mínima Requerida anual de IRA. Con esto, las personas mayores evitaban tener que hacer que los fon-dos contaran como ingreso bruto ajustado y obtenían así una ventaja fiscal incluso si no detallaban las deduc-ciones.

Finalmente, si no puede darse el lujo de realizar una donación en efectivo pero desea ayudar, considere donar tiempo. Numerosas organizaciones pueden re-lacionarlo con entidades benéficas locales de acuerdo a sus intereses, como por ejemplo el sitio United We Serve (www.serve.gov) del gobierno, Network for Good (www.networkforgood.org) y Volunteer Match www.vo-lunteermatch.org

The holidays are around the corner and it is time to start thinking about what gifts to buy for your loved ones. Some gifts may be big, while others may be small. But no matter the size, these gifts will bring joys

to whoever receives them.However, some of the less fortunate do not have the funds to purchase gifts or even their holiday dinner.

Fortunately for them, the Sacred Heart Com-munity Center has made it their mission to ensure that everyone truly enjoys

this holiday season. The organization will be hand-ing out Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, as well as Christmas Toys to those who are struggling in the community.

On Friday, November 9, many families registered for Sacred Heart’s Holiday

The Season of Giving

Food and Toy distribution. “We want to make sure that everyone can celebrate the holidays, so we are provid-ing food and toys to low-income families on Thanks-giving and Christmas,” said Jay Pecot Director of Devel-opment. “We have signed up over 2,000 families so far and the next registration day is this Friday, Novem-ber 16, from 9am until 1pm. There are still a few toy reg-istrations available.”

The families began to get in line the night before and set up tents around the building.

“We told them they did not have to wait all night because we would have enough food and toys for everyone,” Pecot said. “But they stayed anyway. This

was something that was very important to them.”

There were a total of 174 volunteers last Friday and another 100 more are ex-pected to come this Friday.

The people that have reg-istered so far are from Sa-cred Heart programs, the Washington area neighbor-hood and from throughout San Jose and Santa Clara county. “The only qualifica-tion for the programs is that people ask,” Pecot said. “The program is intended for low-income families who do not have money to afford their own celebrations this year.”

“This morning we had 62 turkeys in our freezer and that is far short of the 4,000 we need for next week. If

people can help us by do-nating food. We ask that they bring it in by this Fri-day. Please donate frozen turkeys,” Pecot said.

This is an annual event for Sacred Heart. It is one of the first actions by the founder of Sacred Heart Community Service, Louise Benson. It has expanded to the thousands that we help every year during the holi-days, in addition to the food distribution that the orga-nization operates through-out the year.

A check can be mailed di-rectly to Sacred Heart’s of-fice at 1381 South First St., San Jose, CA 95110. Their tax ID is 23-7179787 and they are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Celebrated artist Favianna Rodriguez

visits San Jose


Veronica Taylor RamirezSPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR

Locally and internation-ally celebrated artist, Favi-anna Rodriguez lectured on advocacy through the arts at the Mexican Ameri-can Plaza, last Thursday, November 8, in San Jose. The event was present-ed by the Latina Coali-tion Silicon Valley, The County of Santa Clara Women’s Policy, and the Mexican Heritage Plaza’s School of Arts and Culture. “Our legacy is really about providing Latinas with the tools, the resources the edu-cation, support, to run for office, to participate in the community on boards and on commissions, and also we educate Latinas in civic engagement,” said Elisa Orona, President of the La-tina Coalition Silicon Valley. Rodriguez lectures glob-ally on the power of art, cultural organization, tech-nology, and leads work-shops across the country. “Arts and culture are the conditions that lead to a climactic moment,” said Rodriguez. “In order to have any kind of social change in this country, you need a cultural shift.” Rodriguez said that through art and culture, ideas are spread and even-tually those ideas are slowly accepted by society. “Cultur-al change, precedes political change,” said Rodriguez. She used Jackie Robinson as a historical example. Robinson broke the color barrier in sports culture years before desegregation. Rodriguez also used Ellen Degeneres as an example. Degeneres came out publi-

cally, almost a decade be-fore laws targeting the gay community were repealed. “Politics are going to be changing quite a bit,” said Tamara Alvarado, Director of Community Access and Civic Engagement for the Mexican Heritage Plaza and School of Arts and Culture. “It’s really interesting to see how artists use information, like hard facts and how it actually trickles down into their artwork and gets represented there in a way that’s still beautiful and very compelling,” said Alvarado. Rodriguez also focused some of her lecture on theimportance of women’s

issues. “Women’s issues are global issues,” said Ro-driguez. Rodriguez said that women are often cul-turally represented as ei-ther a virgin or whore. ““When she [Rodriguez] said, in culture women are either put into two catego-ries, you’re either a virgin

or a whore, I think that women are a lot more than that, than just to be defined by their bodies,” said Hermi-na Ojeda, financial advisor, an attendee of the lecture. Recently, Rodriguez lec-tured in Montreal, Canada. Rodriguez’s artwork fea-tures issues such as immi

gration, food justice, social

issues and women’s issues. “Right now my main fo-cus is immigration, I think that the dialogue is so full, of hate and xenophobia, I think that art and culture really has an important cul-tural role to play in trans-forming that debate,” said Rodriguez. “

Through her artwork Favianna Rodriguez has made many friends and colleagues who also participate in civic engagement. Photo: Veronica Taylor Ramirez.

“Edgar Cayce: clarividente,

psíquico y profeta estadounidense”

Mario Jiménez CastilloEL OBSERVADOR

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), es reconocido como un de los grandes talentos psíqui-cos de la historia. Sus pre-dicciones sobre el futuro han asombrado al mundo. Su popularidad alcanzó fama mundial gracias a las bio-grafías que han sido escritas sobre su vida y obra. Entre estas biografías resalta una que es considerada la más importante “The Sleeping Prophet” (“El Profeta Dur-miente”), escrita por Jess Stearn.

Cayce nació el 18 de Mar-zo de 1877 en Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Desde niño, de-mostró habilidades psíqui-cas impresionantes. Duran-te su adolescencia descubrió que durmiéndose sobre sus textos podía memorizarlos completamente.

A la edad de 20 años su-frió de una parálisis en las cuerdas vocales que le im-pidió hablar y de la cual no podía curarse; hasta que le

pidió a uno de sus amigos que le asistiera mientras él, experimentaba el estado de sueño inducido y fue así como pudo memorizar sus textos nuevamente.

Ya entrado en trance, Cay-ce procuró la adecuada su-gestión y logró recuperar el habla. También descubrió el origen del padecimiento, su-giriendo al mismo tiempo el tratamiento más adecuado.

Al poco tiempo un grupo de médicos de Kentucky, se dieron cuenta de los poderes psíquicos de Cayce, quien solamente al tener el nom-bre y dirección de una per-sona en

cualquier parte del mun-do, éste podía diagnosticar cualquier problema de salud que la persona padeciera. Y no solamente eso, fue capaz de curar a muchos a través de la distancia utilizando el poder de su mente y sus do-nes curativos.

Al entrar Cayce en el es-tado de sueño hipnótico era capaz de hacer diagnósticos, recomendar tratamientos, además aclarar las dudas y contestar preguntas de quie-nes le consultaban. Fue así como la fama de Cayce logró traspasar las fronteras de

Estados Unidos hacia otros continentes.

Uno de los aportes más importantes del profeta Dur-miente en el campo onírico fue la teoría que formuló con respecto a los colores. Según Edgar Cayce las tonalidades de los colores que se presen-tan en el sueño son indicio de las emociones y sentimientos que el soñador esté experi-mentando durante la vigilia. Colores resplandecientes y vibrantes indican que se está obrando de buena manera y que nuestras buenas acciones serán recompensadas.

Cuando se presentan colo-res y matices sombríos signi-fica que existen sentimientos de culpa, remordimientos y hasta deseos malsanos que enturbian la vida durante la vigilia y que finalmente anuncian la llegada del tiem-po para la cosecha del karma.

Gran cuantía de las pre-dicciones de Cayce se dieron a través de sueños, y en esos sueños, la intensidad de los colores que advertía en los mismo parece que fue una de las claves que utilizaba a la hora de hacer sus impre-sionantes pronósticos para el futuro de la humanidad y del planeta.

Recently I have been reading a lot about guy’s skinny-jeans. It seems a lot of people are against them however the number of men I see wearing them keeps increasing. Why do you think this is so?

First let me tell you, I love slim jeans, the ones with straight, narrow leg; in fact, most of my pants are this cut nowadays and I’ll tell you why.

Skinny-jeans make me look long, lean and, when worn correctly, confident about my looks. However I have been also found guilty of wearing the oh-so tight skinny-jeans they might as well should’ve been jeggings and this is a problem.

There is a very clear dif-ference between wearing skinny-jeans that are low rise and slim at the leg, and skinny-jeans that are so tight that everyone gets to witness how you kill your future offsprings ever so slowly.

But let’s analyze a little more why choosing the right fit will prove beneficial

to you other than you’ll ac-tually be able to procreate.

First, skinny-jeans for men are the new boot-cut, they enhance every shape and make them look leaner and longer, not to mention they showcase the footwear more— there lies another chance to make an impres-sion on the opposite sex with your good taste in shoes.

Slim pants or jeans should be straight cut and not made like jeggings be-cause jeggings only look good on women and some-times not even them.

Choosing the right fit of skinny-jeans is just that, the right fit. If the jeans make your muffin top overflow and they cling on to your calf muscles so tightly, then my friend these are not the right fit.

True, nowadays jeans have not only gotten skinni-er at the legs but they have also gotten a lower rise, which means the distance between the crotch and the waist is shorter; all the more reasons why getting the right fit is imperative.

Nobody wants to see your hairy ass crack or love handles overflowing like

nobody’s business. So, let’s say you went ahead and bought yourself your first pair of skinny jeans because you want to stay on trend with the rest of your friends. You made sure to follow my advice and got the right fit, now what?

Well, something I didn’t mention, you wear a tank top!! And I’ll tell you why.

I was walking with my BFF the other day and we decided to go take a look at the tile artwork getting in-stalled at the place we work, so we walked over and what a surprise we got.

The first thing we caught in full view was not the art-work, but the installer’s butt crack-it was not a pretty sight this is also another reason why I recommend my friends and readers to keep it kempt and clean down there, but that’s an-other story.

But seriously, do me and the rest of the world a favor and, next time you decide to wear your skinny-jeans, make sure you save us from flashing your coin slot ev-ery time you reach down to fetch that lucky penny by wearing a tank top and jeans that actually fit.

Después de cuatro anos regresan los miembros de la banda alternativa Mexicana Café Tacvba con su álbum Él Objeto Antes Llamado Disco. Este álbum fue lan-zado el 22 de Octubre de

El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco

MexicoNOTIMEX

El actor mexicano Julio Bracho, quien también ha incursionado como direc-tor de cine, calificó como alucinante su experiencia de prestar su voz al antago-nista del nuevo videojuego “Call of Duty: Black Ops II”, cuyo lanzamiento a ni-vel mundial se realizó este martes.

En entrevista con No-timex, el histrión explicó que es la segunda vez que trabaja como actor de do-blaje, pues la primera fue en “Need For Speed: The Run” (2011), “es alucinan-te porque mi personaje se autonombra el mesías del 99 por ciento y la historia se centra en una guerra en-tre Estados Unidos y China para buscar un nuevo mun-do”.

La saga continúa con un título que centra al usuario en el año 2025 y el juego le

permite tomar decisiones que modifican el desarrollo de la historia, además de que representa el regreso del modo Zombi, con agre-gados –Tranzit y Grief– en donde los usuarios deberán enfrentar a esos personajes.

Bracho aseguró que para realizar este personaje tuvo que analizar toda la docu-mentación sobre la historia y el videojuego, “además de

que con ayuda del director fuimos creando la línea del personaje, así como las se-cuencias”.

Apuntó que hacer dobla-je es algo muy complicado porque además de actuar como si fuera una película, “tienes que ser muy veraz y saber que tu única herra-mienta es la voz para poder transmitir las emociones y reacciones del personaje”.

Da Julio Bracho voz al antagonista de “Call of Duty: Black Ops II”

lución. La primera canción se llama “Pájaros”, y cuenta con “electro-fuzz” de los sin-tetizadores digitales que se combina con las guitarras y la voz de su vocalista Rubén Albarrán, quien entrega su angustia, alegría y emoción con gran éxito.

Los diferentes métodos de uso de los medios digita-les reflejan el sonido Mexi-cano contra algunas de las guitarras y flautas que se encuentran en el fondo, la totalidad del álbum se cen-tra en los sintetizadores y paisajes sonoros.

Otra canción, “Andamos”, suena como una canción de Radiohead del álbum Am-nesiac. Luego está el single principal, “De Este Lado del Camino”, que es muy pare-cido a una balada española con tambores bajos en el fondo y un aumento cons-tante de los efectos y la voz de Albarrán, que termina en una desaparición eficaz y sutil de los sonidos, excepto por una suave guitarra to-cando las notas finales.

El resto del álbum tie-ne las mismas vibraciones de un rock eléctrico oscuro contrario al estilo rock al-

ternativo mexicano con que es conocida esta banda.

El título es una referen-cia a un disco físico, y, po-siblemente, la popularidad de las compras digitales sobre el disco compacto. Otro significado podría ser el objeto conocido como “disco”, el género musical que se basó en sintetizado-res, voces pop y ritmos de tambor. Este es sin duda un “disco” que será apreciado. Canciones recomendadas: “Pájaros”, “De Este Lado del Camino”, “Espuma”, “Yo Busco”.

The San Jose Earth-quakes announced that they have signed defender Jason Hernandez and midfielder Sam Cronin to new contracts. Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not dis-closed.

Cronin and Hernan-

dez were regular starters during the club’s historic Supporters’ Shield run in 2012, helping set a new franchise mark for points in a season with 66. San Jose reached the Western Conference Semifinals with a 19-6-9 record, tops in MLS.

Hernandez is one of

two players on the Earth-quakes’ current roster who were with the club during their 2008 expan-sion season. The stalwart

defender ranks among the club’s top 10 all-time in games played (123), minutes played (10,847) and games started (122). He was a key piece on an

Earthquakes back line that produced seven clean sheets in 2012.

Among the highlight

moments for Hernandez last season was a game-winning assist in the club’s memorable 3-2 comeback win against the LA Galaxy at The Home Depot Cen-ter on May 23. He also picked up MLS Save of the Week honors after deny-ing Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio with a header off the line in a 2-1 San Jose win at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 23.

“Jason has been an im-

portant part of this team,” said Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop. “You can always count on his work rate and his veteran presence both in the locker room and as a part of our back line. We’re happy to have him back in San Jose for seasons to come.”

La directiva de Pumas de la UNAM y el delantero argentino Emanuel Villa acordaron dar por termi-nada la relación laboral y el “Tito” pertenece ahora a Ti-gres de la UANL que dirige el técnico brasileño Ricardo Ferretti.

“El cambio se decidió ante el hecho de que las expectativas del Club y del futbolista no se cumplieron a cabalidad”, explica en un comunicado la institución auriazul.

Agrega que “luego del análisis del torneo recién concluido, ambas partes lle-garon al acuerdo de dar por terminado el contrato.

El Club Universidad Na-cional reconoce la actitud profesional de Villa durante

el tiempo que estuvo ligado

a la institución”.

“Tito” Villa llegó a Pumas de la UNAM procedente de Cruz Azul para el Torneo Apertura 2012 de la Liga MX y partici-pó en 12 juegos de 17 posibles en la campaña regular.

Desarrolló once juegos

como titular, diez comple-tos y sólo anotó tres goles cuando la afición esperaba más anotaciones del argen-tino, quien tuvo diferencias con el técnico Mario Carri-llo.
