JUNE 19-25 2015

I remember my father, To-ribio Morales who worked hard & smart to support my mother, Guadalupe and my siblings (12...9 boys and 3 girls). Although he and mom immigrated from Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico (via the El Paso-Ciudad Juárez portal) in 1910, there are many an-ecdotes which characterize my father. He used his voice to discipline...it was authori-tative and effective. He never used physical force (spank-ing or paddles/belts). Most important, I learned plan-ning ahead from him as a role model. Though my dad was a steelworker at the U.S. Steel, Gary, Indiana-Dad

worked at Blast Furnace #4, he educated himself beyond the 6th grade by reading printed materials available (newspapers, magazines and books) and applying that knowledge. My dad was a disciplined person who helped organize and initiate La Sociedad de Mutualista Mexico, Gary, whose name caused the FBI to investigate him as a potential “Socialist” during the 1940’s.

Know that ‘Pa’ was a very good ‘snooker billiards’ player’ who often defeated the pool sharks in that com-munity. He enabled a lot of generosity. During the Great Depression, our family had enough food to share with the homeless hobos who would come to the back fence gate. They were in-variably fed and later on I learned that these hoboes were part of our ‘commu-nity protection’ system who told others ‘If you mess with

the Morales family, you are messing with me....you un-derstand?’ In his own way, he stood up to those ‘Whites’ who expressed their big-otry, bias and prejudices. Over time, the local officials, including ‘La Migra’ and Police/Sheriff learned to re-spect and ‘leave the Morales family alone’.

One of the things ‘Pa’ did which I now realize was unusual, was to talk to me about what the family re-quired for its subsistence. His steelworker’s union wage was always augmented by ‘side jobs’ which resulted in additional income used to support his family. I learned to garden when I helped till the garden plot located in the floodplains of the Calu-met River. It was there that I witnessed catfish spawn-ing; frog tadpoles, lizards, snakes, and coyotes. That garden provided corn, beans, squash, and toma-

toes...all a source of vitamins and nutrients.

Today, as a father myself, what would I tell to ‘middle-aged adults’ and my own three kids? It takes informa-tion and know-how to earn a living. Fortunately, both are more accessible today as an outcome of many ‘smart electronic devices’. The most important ability to acquire is to learn and use a system of logic which enables you to make good decisions in your own interests. That logic may be based upon the decalogue (10 Commandments), ethics, and morals which are con-stantly being re=interpreted. Your logic and value system enables you to deal with facts, interpretation of ideas and your life’s circumstances. There is a definite ‘human life cycle’ which all will ex-perience. Traditionally, one seeks to have a companion in life for it is this committed union of man-woman which

begets the next generation. Other unions have to do with companionship as being es-sential to not being ‘alone’ which invariably leads to de-pression. My father demon-strably was ahead of his time in that he accepted all forms of human partnerships while practicing a ‘live and let live’ lifestyle.

I was fortunate to have my father’s presence through-out my formative childhood years (birth-age 16). Today, many children do not ex-perience actual fatherhood’ because of separations and divorces. However, many remedial mitigation actions happen through sports, ‘Boys & Girls Clubs’, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Junior Achieve-ment organizations. It is here where transitional age cohort (Ages 17-25) and the middle age cohort learn about those intangible items of human interactive experience which are essential to achievement

of success, satisfaction, and a high level of self-esteem. I recommend googling Maslow’s Hierarchy of Hu-man Needs to obtain your own level of understanding of the many factors involved in human development. Ide-ally, Dads are involved in all these factors.

All need to establish their unique plan to acquire and have wealth by beginning to ‘plan ahead’ for their fu-ture’....using a job to earning the money needed. This is stuff I learned from my fa-ther, Toribio. Make it a point to tell your father, if he is still alive, that you care for him and appreciate him. Tell him you love him and respect and appreciate his supportive committed relationship with your mother and his family. Do that even if you have to write him a letter. You will feel good about doing that much.

OPINION

José López Zamorano LAREDHISPANA

Lo más sencillo es decir que Luis Felipe Herrera es un modelo de hispano aunque su nombre resuena poco para la mayoría de no-sotros, fue nombrado como Poeta Laureado de Estados Unidos, una distinción que confiere anualmente la Bib-lioteca del Congreso a las voces más profundas de la creación poética.

Hijo de trabajadores agrí-colas mexicanos, nació en Fresno, California, en el seno de una familia donde es evidente, por los resulta-dos, que el valor de la edu-cación fue atesorado como una de las piezas más im-portantes para la formación y el futuro de los hijos.

Más allá de los merecidos elogios que ha recibido Luis Felipe Herrera a lo largo de su prolífica carrera literaria,

quiero poner el acento en ese común denominador que existe en las familias de hombres y mujeres exito-sos: el involucramiento de los padres en la educación de sus hijos.

De ninguna manera mini-mizó la importancia del es-fuerzo personal, del talento y del carácter que hacen sobresalir a las personas de orígenes humildes, y que cobran mayor mérito cuan-do subsisten en condiciones económicas precarias.

Pero todas esas cualidades crecen y se pulen en un am-biente nutrido por el apoyo vigilante de los padres y por la inculcación de principios arraigados en una fórmu-la infalible: la educación equivale a progreso.

No me sorprende por ello que las primeras palabras de Luis Felipe tras recibir la

presea llegaran envueltas en un ramo de olivo en agra-decimiento a su familia. “Para mis padres, que se vi-nieron al norte después de la Revolución Mexicana de 1910, el honor es mayor que para mí”, dijo.

Sí, como mexicano me siento orgulloso de Luis Fe-lipe Herrera, no solo por su meritorio éxito sino por la familia que tiene. Si todos tuviéramos unos padres de esa estatura, el mundo sería un mejor lugar.

Alzo pues la voz de la es-peranza de que la vida, y las palabras luminosas, de este poeta ejemplar alumbren el camino de las generaciones no solo de los hijos sino de los padres. La educación es demasiado importante para dejarla sólo en las manos del sistema escolar. Padres e hijos somos jugadores cen-trales en la carrera al éxito.

Sessions Available for New Students and Displaced

Corinthian College Students

HAYWARD, CA

Chabot College has launched its Summer Open House Series, giving new stu-dents insight into Chabot’s campus and student life. Additionally, Chabot is offer-ing Chabot College Transfer Days for students displaced by the Corinthian College closures.

The Thursday afternoon sessions for new students will highlight a variety of aca-demic and career technical programs, including tours of campus facilities.

Students will meet program faculty and counselors will be available to answer program questions and discuss finan-cial aid opportunities.

Students victim of the Co-rinthian College closures are

invited to attend sessions to address their specific needs. These sessions, scheduled for June 18 and 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Student Services Center, Building 700, will have counselors available to answer questions relating to academic, career and special programs as well as financial aid. Tours will be given of program areas and students will receive program infor-mation and meet program faculty as well as obtain class schedules and college cata-logs.

“We want to give students affected by the closure of Everest, Heald and Wyotech campuses a session separate from our regular open house schedule,” said Chabot Col-lege Interim Vice President, Student Services Dr. Matt Kritscher. “These students have distinct needs that dif-fer from other incoming students. We want these students to know they’re wel-come at Chabot, a fully ac-

credited community college, and that staff are ready and willing to help them meet their educational needs.”

All students, whether new or transfer, will be encour-aged to enroll in summer ses-sions beginning July 6.

About Chabot College:

Chabot College, a compre-hensive community college, opened its doors in Hayward more than 45 years ago to meet the needs of the East Bay’s growing population. Today it remains the heart of a thriving, diverse communi-ty where students of all ages and backgrounds can get a high quality education at an affordable price. The college awards associate degrees and certificates, and specializes in university transfer, workforce training, and lifelong learn-ing opportunities.

Additional information can be found at www.

chabotcollege.edu.

Remaining sessions, all of which will be from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Community and Student Services Center, Building 700, are as follows:

Can kids playing with Legos make the world a better place? Will children who build their own rocket ships or dollhouses go on to be the adult innovators of tomor-row, who take on the world’s challenges with technology and creativity? If 13-year-old Shubham Banerjee is an example of young makers, the answer to those ques-tions may be a resounding “Yes!”

After reading that most Braille printers cost more than $2,000, Shubham decided this price was “cra-zy” and set out to create a cheaper alternative. Using a Lego kit and parts from a local hardware store, he built a prototype Braille printer of his own. The price? About $350. With

financial and technology backing from Intel, Shub-ham founded his own com-pany and is now working on a more advanced, low-cost Braille printer based on the postage-stamp size Intel Edison computing plat-form.

Shubham’s story is amazing and inspiring – and less of an exception than you might think. His story is one of the many successes emerging from the Maker Movement. Makers come from all so-cio-economic backgrounds and are all ages. They use technology and creativity to reinvent the world around them, whether it’s add-ing motion-sensitive LED lights to Barbie’s outfit, cre-ating a tweetable coffee pot or using sensors to create an app-enabled watering sys-tem for their houseplants.

Many, like Shubham, are employing their skills as makers to create their own career opportunities.

“The lesson for all of us is that making and explor-ing through play is not just about celebrating the gifted but about triggering and en-couraging the talent living inside every child,” says Jay Melican, Intel’s maker czar. “Study after study supports that the best way to activate a curious mind is to make something. That might be an amazing high-tech in-vention or a messy science experiment. This shift to making represents the per-fect storm of new techno-logical materials, expanded opportunities, learning through hands-on experi-ence and the basic human impulse to create.”

Affordable technology and the ability to share online has fueled the Maker Move-ment. New tools like 3D printers, robotics, affordable microprocessors like the In-tel Galileo or Intel Edison development boards and new programming languages are enabling hands-on learning

and encouraging children of all ages to use these tools to move from passive receiv-ers of knowledge to real-world makers. For the first time, students can take their powerful ideas to create real things, not just make-believe models. Kids can solve real problems with their own in-

ventions and easily explore science, technology, engi-neering and math (STEM) career opportunities.

The Maker Movement holds the promise to specifically inspire girls to pursue STEM studies and even careers.

Unscrupulous people mas-querading as medical alert system providers have target-ed seniors with high-pressure telemarketing scams. But in good news, one company, Bay Alarm Medical, believes it has a responsibility to help seniors safeguard themselves from bullying tactics. The Bay Alarm Medical Code of Ethics establishes high stan-dards for uncompromisingly ethical and transparent busi-ness practices. In addition, the company offers these 10 tips for seniors:

DO NOT provide personal information over the phone.

Under no circumstance should you divulge bank names, credit card numbers, birth dates or Social Security numbers.

DO NOT tolerate bullying, coercion or intimidation tac-tics.

A legitimate medical alert system provider will never pressure you, limit time to respond, use threats or co-ercion to get you to make a purchase.

DO NOT believe that prod-ucts or services are “free.”

Scammers may say you’ve won a free gift or product in order to solicit personal in-formation or insist you pay a

fee, shipping and handling to redeem a prize.

DO NOT press any buttons if you receive an automated or recorded “robocall.”

If you hear a recording when you answer the phone, you have received a “robocall” and should hang up. Even if instructed, do not press but-tons to speak to a live op-erator or have your number removed from lists, as that could trigger future robo-calls.

DO not entertain unsolic-ited sales or cold calls.

If you don’t want to speak to an unsolicited telemarketer, just hang up the phone. Le-gitimate medical alert pro-viders will never cold call noncustomers.

DO register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry.

The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls, and once your number has been on the registry for 31 days, you should not receive any. Reg-ister your home or mobile phone for free at www.donot-call.gov.

DO request information about the salesperson and company.

If you are being bullied or pressured by a telemarketer, request their name, business name, contact information and business license, and tell them you will call if inter-ested. If they refuse to give you information, it is likely a scam.

DO research and verify the information.

With a simple online search, information about known scams can be found. The Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the state Attorney General’s office can provide further insights.

DO seek counsel from friends and family.

If you are genuinely in-terested in a telemarketer’s product or service and they are legitimate, request they call you at a time and date you prefer. This gives you time to discuss the informa-tion with your friends and family to aid your decision.

DO file a complaint or re-port the call to authorities if you’ve been scammed.

If you think you are a vic-tim of a telemarketing scam, report the incident through the FTC consumer hot line at (877) FTC-HELP (877-382-4357), the Better Business Bureau at (703) 276-0100 or visit www.bbb.org.

dades. Las ediciones previas se centraron en el tema de los cobradores de deudas, y en las estafas de impostores del gobierno e ingresos. Los consumidores pueden encar-gar las cuatro publicaciones gratuitas en ftc.gov/ordenar, o leerlas y descargarlas en ftc.gov/fotonovela.

La FTC trabaja en favor del consumidor para la preven-ción de prácticas comercia-les fraudulentas, engañosas y desleales y para proveer información para ayudar a los consumidores a identifi-car, detener y evitar dichas prácticas. Para presentar una queja en inglés o en español visite el Asistente de Quejas

de la FTC o llame sin cargo al 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). La FTC ingresa las quejas presentadas por los consumidores a una base de datos segura llamada Red Centinela del Consumidor (Consumer Sentinel) que es utilizada por más de 2,000 agencias de cumplimiento de las leyes civiles y penales en los Estados Unidos y del extranjero. El sitio Web de la FTC provee información gratis sobre una variedad de temas del consumidor. Síganos en Twitter (link is external), y suscríbase a los comunicados de prensa para acceder a las noticias y recur-sos más recientes de la FTC.

Knowing how to spot scammers can help seniors living independently protect themselves.

El doctor Ali Mohamadi, director médico de la FDA, quiere que los adolescentes conozcan lo peligroso que es el uso de esteroides con la es-peranza de que sean mejores atletas o más atractivos.

Los esteroides anabólicos pueden ocasionar lesiones tanto temporales como per-manentes a quienquiera que los use. Los adolescentes, cuyos cuerpos aún están en desarrollo, corren el mayor riesgo. Un número alar-mante de jóvenes están pro-bando los esteroides con la esperanza de mejorar su ha-bilidad atlética o su aparien-cia. El Dr. Ali Mohamadi, un oficial médico de la División de Productos para el Metab-olismo y Endocrinos de la Administración de Alimen-tos y Medicamentos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés), ad-vierte a los adolescentes y a los padres de familia sobre los peligros del uso de los es-teroides.

P: ¿Qué son los esteroides anabólicos y cuántos adoles-centes los usan?

R: Son drogas que imi-tan el funcionamiento de la hormona sexual masculina testosterona. Esto incluye el fomento del crecimiento celular, en especial en los músculos, y mantener o au-mentar las características físicas masculinas. Se han llevado a cabo varios estu-

dios y, en general, reflejan los hallazgos de un estudio del Sistema de Vigilancia de los Factores de Riesgo del Com-portamiento en los Jóvenes, el cual estima que entre los estudiantes de educación secundaria de los Estados Unidos, 4.9% de los varones y 2.4% de las mujeres han usado esteroides anabólicos por lo menos una vez en su vida. Eso es 375,000 jóvenes varones y 175,000 mujeres.

P. ¿Cuáles son los efectos secundarios del uso de ester-oides anabólicos?

R: Se sabe que producen una serie de efectos adver-sos en muchos de los siste-mas del organismo, y en muchos casos el daño no es reversible. Entre éstos es-tán problemas de fertilidad, impotencia, presión arte-rial alta y colesterol, y anor-malidades del corazón y del hígado. Los varones pueden presentar un encogimiento de los testículos o la apar-ición de tejido mamario, y las mujeres, irregularidades menstruales, así como la aparición de vello corporal y facial. Ambos pueden su-frir acné. Tanto los varones como las mujeres también pueden experimentar cam-bios de estado de ánimo y un comportamiento agresivo, lo cual no sólo puede afectar la vida de quienes toman ester-oides, sino de todos los que los rodean.

P. ¿Se necesita una receta médica para adquirir ester-oides?

R: Sí. De hecho, la Admin-istración para el Control de Drogas de los Estados Uni-dos identifica los esteroides como sustancias controla-das de Clasificación III, con estrictas regulaciones que significan que no sólo se necesita una receta médica, sino que existen controles

adicionales. Por ejemplo, en los Estados Unidos es ilegal tener posesión de ellos sin una receta médica y, en la mayoría de los casos, ésta debe presentarse por escrito y no puede prescribirse lla-mando a un farmacéutico. En las etiquetas de algunos esteroides se recomienda medir los niveles hormona-les durante su uso.

Un profesional de la salud puede prescribir esteroides fuera de lo recomendado; o sea, para otras condiciones aparte de las aprobadas por la FDA. Pero los niños, y en especial los adolescentes, es-tán accediendo a los esteroi-des y usándolos por motivos muy diferentes a los usos in-dicados.

P: ¿Qué quisiera decirles a los padres?

R: La tendencia de los pa-dres es a no creer que sus hijos adolescentes consid-erarían tomar esteroides anabólicos, pero lo cierto es que la frecuencia en el uso de esteroides en adolescentes es mucho mayor de lo que muchos pensarían.

Durante esta época del año, cuando los jóvenes están en la escuela y se reincorporan a sus rutinas deportivas, los padres deben estar atentos a los posibles indicios de su uso. Los cambios en el esta-do de ánimo son uno de los primeros efectos secundari-os que se presentan, y el uso de esteroides puede ocasion-ar manías o depresión. El acné también es uno de los primeros efectos secundari-os y puede ir seguido de un crecimiento mamario en los varones o de un aumento del vello corporal en las mujeres. Un aumento sorprendente de la masa muscular tam-bién debe ponernos a pen-sar. Es un problema tan real como sorprendente.

When it comes to getting fit, many consider cardio exercise the best solution. But strength training is also an essential part of any comprehensive exercise routine. Strength training can boost cardio health, burn calories and fat and put you on the fasttrack for fitness success.

It’s no surprise that strength training was listed as a top fitness trend for both men and women by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). It’s also a key step towards improving quality of daily life -- whether that’s coun-tering long hours spent at a desk job or staying active with the family.

“Everyone can benefit enormously from strength training,” says celebrity trainer and Bowflex Fit-ness Advisor Tom Holland. “Muscle helps our bodies work optimally, providing us with functional

strength and the ability to perform daily activities with ease.”

Here are some easy ways to add some strength train-ing into your exercise

routine:

*Commit to a regular routine, and build from there. If you are new to strength training, consider lighter weights and fewer repetitions to get started. You can challenge your-self with larger increments and higher repetitions as you progress. “Success in strength training is all about overloading the mus-cle with precise weight and progressing appropriately,” Holland says.

*Use equipment, or keep it simple. Equipment such as kettle bells, dumbbells and medicine balls are all great options. For ex-ample, the Bowflex Select-Tech 552 dumbbells (www.bow f lexselect tech.com) replace 15 sets of weights with a space-saving design -- adjustable from 5 to 52.5 pounds at the turn of a dial. If you don’t have easy ac-cess to weights, or want to start off simple, everyday

objects, such as a frozen water bottle or cans of soup, can be used as substitutes.

*Get back to the basics with functional fitness. Functional fitness focuses on strength and bodyweight training exercises to improve bal-ance, develop muscle and condition our bodies. Basic exercises, such as squats or sit-ups, mimic movements used in daily life. Another op-tion to keep your body tuned to daily activities is walking. You might not be ready for a 5k walk, but a machine like the Bowflex TreadClimber (www.treadclimber.com) can help you get started by com-bining the motions of a tread-mill, a stair climber and an

elliptical.

*Fuel your strength training with protein. “Protein is es-sential to building lean mus-cle,” says Holland. One easy solution is a protein shake or smoothie.

Part of the magic of travel is leaving yourself open to the unique experi-ences and unforgettable adventures that come with learning about a new place. Creating an authentic travel experience is all about interacting with the culture of the place you are visiting.

Fortunately, planning an authentic vacation isn’t as difficult as you might assume. Here are five steps that can help get you on your way.

•Choose your destination for its culture: Choose a location with a cul-ture you’re interested in. The local culture will help shape the activities you choose. For instance, if your fam-ily is from Ireland but you have never been, perhaps you want to go there to better understand your heritage.

•Immerse yourself in the culture before you travel: One fun way to do this is by reading books and watching movies set in the desti-nation you have chosen. If you get the whole family involved, this also leads to extra quality time before your trip! So for an Italian getaway, maybe you can watch “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Fun and exciting family movie nights such as these can help you identify places you may wish to visit.

•Choose accommodations that let you live like a local: One of the best ways to live like a local is to stay in a timeshare unit. Such units often include kitchens and living space where you can cook according to the local customs. Many believe there’s no better way to live like a local than to eat like a local.

If you want to give a timeshare a try, this can be an excellent opportunity to test the accommodations without a long-term commitment. For in-stance, sites such as EndlessVacation-Rentals.com offer deals on a variety of accommodation options, includ-ing vacation ownership units.

Or, if you are ready to jump into authentic travel by purchasing a timeshare, you may be able to add a vacation exchange membership through companies such as RCI, which allows you to swap your vaca-tion ownership for accommodations all over the world.

•Visit local markets and food stands: To experience authentic cuisine and make use of the kitchen in your unit, research quality markets and farm stands before your trip. Or ask the locals where they do their shopping.

In many places, you can sign up for a class at a local culinary school or in-vite a chef to your accommodations for a private lesson. For example, if you’re visiting the Greek islands, you can look for a local chef who can show you how to make tradi-tional dishes such as spanakopita. The result will likely be a dish and a recipe you’ll cherish.

•Don’t plan every moment: When you’re visiting a new place, it can be tempting to try to squeeze in every site, monument, museum and tour possible. But often, the most authentic experiences come when you haven’t planned anything at all. Leave some time to sit in a coffee shop, or stroll through town with-out a plan. This can often be the best way to interact with locals and experience a city through their eyes.

STATEPOINT

When you hear the word “art” you may think of a “do not touch sign,” amid the hushed tones of a gallery or museum. But artistic expres-sion can take on many forms, and these days, artists and musicians are bringing their work to vivid life in innova-tive and exciting ways.

For example, Michael B. Koep, an accomplished vi-sual artist, award-winning poet, swordsman, touring rock musician and author, is an intriguing example of someone doing just that. A Renaissance man, Koep is known in particular for the creative ways he showcases his novels. He makes a point of mirroring his literary fan-tasy world when in front of an audience by doing every-thing from using a quill pen, to performing songs based on his book’s themes, to reading aloud near a busy bus stop, to the occasional sword fight.

His latest novel, “The Newirth Mythology: Leaves

of Fire,” is the second title in a thriller fiction trilogy. The trilogy explores the theme of bringing art to life, imagining a world where paintings hold the secrets to the meaning of life and death; and scribbled words can alter the past and reshape the present. Span-ning seven centuries, “Leaves of Fire” tells of how a journal has inadvertently changed history and made myths and their characters real. More information can be found at www.MichaelBKoep.com

With a wider scope of me-dia platforms available for expression, multi-faceted artists of all walks of life can use their work to bring com-munities together, which is what many believe it is for in the first place.

“Art should knit us all to-gether. It should inspire, ele-vate and excite,” says Koep. “I like to think of art as a good conversation that you don’t want to end -- so you order more drinks.”

Activists are protesting tax breaks for the $3 billion pri-vate prison industry - which runs 16 facilities in Califor-nia. They protested at an industry conference in New York last week about a loop-hole that lets private prison companies claim to be in the real estate business and thus pay less income tax.

Ian Trupin, an organizer for the Responsible Endow-ments Coalition, said Cali-fornia is at the forefront of the move toward private prisons.

“After the federal govern-ment,” he said, “California is the largest customer of the private prison industry in the United States.” In 2013, a federal judge ordered Cali-

fornia to fix overcrowding in its prisons - which led to the practice of sending prisoners to private facilities. Correc-tions Corporation of Amer-ica and the Geo Group, the two biggest private prison firms, say they’re providing a public service.

Opponents such as Trupin say the firms make finan-cial donations to lawmakers who support anti-crime laws - laws that swell the prison ranks.

“We need to really make this issue something toxic for politicians,” Trupin said, “so they have to stop taking money from private prisons and stop passing the laws that this lobby is really going for.”

Activists currently are run-ning campaigns to press the University of California Sys-tem and the County of Los Angeles to divest their hold-ings in private prison com-panies.

This week San José Mayor Liccardo proposed free large item pick-up for single family households as an additional service of their Recycle Plus program.

“Today’s vote will go a long way towards stemming il-legal dumping,” said Mayor Liccardo. “The extra 31 cents a month is a small price to pay for keeping our neigh-borhoods safe and clean.”

“In my district illegal dump-ing is a big problem,” said Vice Mayor Rose Herrera. “We found that ‘no dumping’ signs can make the problem

worse. By offering a new pro-gram that gets to the root of the problem, we can help keep neighborhoods clean and free of unwanted and unsightly blight.”

Details of the Proposal•Large item pick up – ex-

amples include sofas, tires, mattresses, couches

•Recycling these items helps keep them out of the landfill and advances the Zero Waste Green Vision goal for San José

•Currently three items can be picked up for a fee. The rate increase includes the elimination of that fee for a free large item pick up once a year.

•People have to place the large items out on the street

for pick up on the day of their garbage service. They also have to call ahead to schedule a pick up.

Information on where to call is available at

http://ca-sanjose.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=3079

or by calling the following to schedule a pick up on

their collection date:

Neighborhoods in down-town, North SJ, East and

South SJ should call Califor-nia Waste Solutions at 408-

Neighborhoods in West San Jose should call Green-

Team of San José at 408-282-4400

Santa Clara Valley Trans-portation Authority (VTA) Bus Operator Tim Watson, along with other contribu-tory individuals and agen-cies, were honored on Fri-day, June 19 for their heroic actions in helping to thwart the kidnapping of a 3 year old boy in Milpitas on June 5, 2015.

Watson received a com-mendation from the Office of Congressman Mike Hon-da, VTA General Manager/CEO Nuria Fernandez, as

well as recognition from vari-ous elected leaders including Santa Clara County Supervi-sors Cindy Chavez and Dave Cortese, and Milpitas Mayor Jose Estevez. Representatives from the Milpitas and Fre-mont Police Departments, Santa Clara County Sheriff ’s Department, AlliedBarton Security and other VTA staff were recognized for their role in the safe rescue of the boy and apprehension of the sus-pected kidnapper.

After VTA dispatchers sent out an emergency “Be on the Lookout” notification for a three year old boy who

was taken from the Milpitas Library on the morning of Friday, June 5, Watson recog-nized the kidnapping suspect and the child as he pulled up to his stop. The two boarded his bus, the Line 180 Express Bus that serves the Fremont BART Station, and Watson went into action. Watson was able to confirm the child’s identity based on descrip-tions given in the emergency notification, and called VTA dispatch for further instruc-tions. Because of Watson’s swift thinking, Fremont Po-lice were able to arrest the suspected kidnapper and rescue the boy safely.

California News ServiceOAKLAND, Calif.

A study released Tues-day by the nonprofit Public Health Institute (PHI) says California could save $250 million per year in health-care costs - and improve the lives of millions of children - by eliminating exposure to preventable environmen-tal hazards such as lead, pesticides, second-hand smoke, car exhaust and cer-tain household chemicals.

Galatea King, health sur-veillance director with PHI

and one of the authors of the California Environmental Health Tracking Program study, says she and her col-leagues focused on multiple health conditions including asthma, leukemia, autism and ADHD.

“We looked at estimates of what amount of the burden of each condition could be attributable to the environ-ment,” she says. “We were looking at things that could be prevented.”

According to the report, California could fund more programs to remove toxic lead paint, or build more

clean, affordable housing to cut down on asthma. King says efforts to combat cli-mate change are also key.

“The worsening environ-mental impact of climate change is going to affect children’s health,” she says. “Air pollution, dust and pollen in the air, water con-tamination and greater use of pesticides as our climate changes.”

The researchers hope poli-cymakers will use the data to justify more significant environmental efforts.

SANTA CLARA COUNTYCALIFORNIA

Last Wednesday the Coun-ty of Santa Clara became the first California county to pass an ordinance raising the purchase age for tobacco and electronic smoking products from 18 to 21, effective Jan. 1, 2016. A recent report by the Institute of Medicine predicts that raising the

minimum age for the sale of tobacco products to 21 will, over time, reduce the smok-ing rate by about 12 percent and smoking-related deaths by 10 percent.

“The alarming prolifera-tion of e-cigarette use among youth as an alternative to to-bacco products is a growing public health concern,” said Supervisor Ken Yeager, who

initiated the County’s smok-ing, tobacco and e-cigarette product ordinances. “This targeting of youth is unac-ceptable and will have conse-quences for their health and wellbeing in the future.”

The March 2015 report by the Institute of Medicine con-cluded that adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the addictive effects of nicotine,

and found that “the parts of the brain most responsible for decision making, impulse control, sensation seeking, future perspective taking, and peer susceptibility and conformity continue to de-velop and change through young adulthood. Adolescent brains are uniquely vulner-able to the effects of nicotine and nicotine addiction.”

“Increasing age restrictions for the sale of tobacco and electronic smoking products is a necessary action to ad-dress heavy use among teens and young adults,” said Presi-dent Dave Cortese, County of Santa Clara Board of Super-visors.

It is estimated that 90 per-cent of tobacco users start be-fore the age of 21, roughly 80 percent first try tobacco be-fore age 18, and 75 percent of teen smokers continue into their adult years. A recent re-port by the Institute of Medi-cine predicts that raising the minimum age for the sale of tobacco products to 21 will, over time, reduce the smok-ing rate by about 12 percent

and smoking-related deaths by 10 percent.

The amendment to the or-dinance (No. NS-300.883, Chapter XXIII of Division A18), will prohibit retailers in unincorporated areas of San-ta Clara County from selling or distributing tobacco prod-ucts and electronic smoking devices to anyone under age 21. Once the new ordinance goes into effect:

Retailers will be required to post a notice of minimum age for purchase of tobacco prod-ucts and electronic smoking devices at each point of pur-chase. The notice will state that selling tobacco prod-ucts and electronic smoking devices to anyone under 21 years of age is illegal and sub-ject to penalties.

Positive identification will be required. No retailer shall sell or transfer a tobacco product or electronic smok-ing device to another person who appears to be under 30 years of age without first examining the customer’s identification to confirm that

the customer is at least the minimum age required to purchase and possess the to-bacco product.

Tobacco retailers in the unincorporated areas will be notified by letter of the changes to the County Ordi-nance. All affected tobacco retailers will be provided with notification signs re-garding the minimum age for purchase of tobacco prod-ucts and electronic smoking devices. The County will also conduct in-store education of recent changes with tobacco retailer store owners and/or employees to facilitate the new age restrictions.

“Comprehensive smoke-free laws and comprehensive tobacco prevention and ces-sation programs are proven strategies to reduce tobacco use and save lives,” said Dan Peddycord, Director of the Public Health Department. “The Board of Supervisors’ decisive action to increase the minimum sale age for to-bacco products to 21 comple-ments these approaches to reduce youth tobacco use.”

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA

Estimates from the United Nations Development Fund indicate that at least one of ev-ery three women globally will be beaten, raped or otherwise abused during her lifetime. In most cases, the abuser is a member of her own family.

On Monday the County of Santa Clara Office of Women’s Policy, Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office and Santa Clara County Domes-tic Violence Council hosted a training for domestic violence advocates, law enforcement, health care professionals and other community partners. Their goal was to help these professionals connect victims of intimate partner violence with available services and re-sources, and decrease domes-tic violence homicides.

“Knowledge is essential

when assisting victims of do-mestic violence in the most

efficient and effective way,” said President Dave Cortese, County of Santa Cara Board of Supervisors. “This train-ing shares valuable informa-tion that could significantly improve someone’s chances of survival.”

The Department of Justice

reveals that nearly one in four women reports experienc-ing violence by a current or former spouse at some point in her life. According to the Centers for Disease Control, on average more than three women a day are murdered by their husbands or boy-friends in the United States. Intimate partner abuse is de-scribed as a repetitive pattern of behaviors to maintain pow-er and control over a partner. It includes the use of physical or/and sexual violence, threats and intimidation, emotional abuse and economic depriva-tion.

“No matter how challeng-

ing it is to protect someone

from what may be happening behind closed doors, we have dedicated law enforcement agencies and advocates com-mitted to working together on refining best practices and responses,” said Supervisor Cindy Chavez, Chair of the Board’s Children, Seniors and Families Committee. “There is never an excuse or reason for abuse. It is not a private matter, but criminal behavior which must be stopped.”

Monday’s training was

conducted by Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell, PhD, RN, FAAN, with the Johns Hopkins Uni-versity School of Nursing, who has worked on advocacy pol-icy and research on violence against women since 1980. She instructed participants on the Danger Assessment tool, an evidence-based instrument used by law enforcement, healthcare professionals, and domestic violence advocates, which helps identify victims most at risk of being killed by their current or former inti-

mate partner, and links them with immediate crisis inter-vention services.

“All domestic violence cases

are the same in that they re-quire our careful attention. However, they may be quite different in terms of the risk of homicide,” said Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen. “Separating those cas-es where victims are most at risk of being killed is crucial to saving lives.”

Locally, law enforcement

agencies have taken a pro-active approach to their re-sponse to domestic violence reports. The Police Chiefs’ Association of Santa Clara County mandated in Febru-ary 2015 that the Lethality Assessment, a shorter version of the Danger Assessment Instrument, be used by law enforcement in domestic violence related calls to the police in cases where vio-lence or danger is high. The Lethality Assessment, a part-

nership between law enforce-ment and nonprofit domestic violence victim services pro-grams, encourages victims in high danger to seek domestic violence program services to prevent serious injury or death.

According to the Maryland

Network Against Domestic Violence, which spearheads the model Lethality Assess-ment Program, by screening victims for risk factors and linking those most at risk with immediate crisis inter-vention services, Maryland has reduced its domestic vio-lence homicide rate by 34% over the past five years.

Santa Clara County resi-

dents directly experiencing or aware of someone experienc-ing abuse can get help by call-ing one of the 24-hour crisis lines below.

Starting delivery of

some mail on Sundays

doesn’t seem like a step

in the right direction.

Doug Moss & Roddy Scheer EARTHTALK

As recent TV ads have been telling us, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has recently started delivering some mail on Sunday in what most chalk up to an effort to stay one step ahead of United Parcel Service (UPS) and Federal Express (Fedex). But while Sunday delivery may be convenient for consumers, environmental leaders worry that adding an extra day causes an unnecessary waste of fuel and carbon emissions. Though this service has been implemented too recently for any concrete statistics on its increase of greenhouse gas emissions, the USPS has several other initiatives al-ready in process that can, at the very least, perhaps help to offset the environmental impact of this new increase.

Recycling, one of the fa-miliar poster-children of the green movement, has become a true priority at the USPS in recent years. In 2012, USPS saved over 250,000 tons of paper, cans and plastic waste. In the lobbies of local post offices are over 22,000 recy-cling bins for those looking to dispose of any paper prod-ucts. These same offices also offer eco-friendly envelopes, boxes made from recycled

materials, and stamps that make use of a biodegradable adhesive.

Another important envi-ronmental initiative of USPS is its Return for Good pro-gram which facilitates recy-cling of stuff besides paper. Under the program, USPS collects expired prescrip-tion drugs, small electron-ics, empty ink cartridges and even fluorescent lamps. This program recovered ap-proximately 172,000 pounds of unused pharmaceuticals in 2012. Recyclers can save themselves a trip to the post office to turn in recycled items by scheduling a pickup from the trucks already driv-ing nearby 6-7 days/week. USPS even offers cash back on some newer electronics devices.

There are also efforts to re-duce the impact of the large fleet of postal delivery trucks. According to the article, “Greener Delivery?” in the Harvard Gazette, the USPS has begun the process of re-placing 180,000 of its trucks with more eco-friendly al-ternatives. The recognizable boxy mail trucks seem to be a thing of the past, as a Janu-ary proposal suggested sev-eral design alterations to en-hance efficiency and reduce emissions from the current rate of 9 miles per gallon. In addition to changes to the traditional truck, there are already around 42,000 al-ternative-fuel vehicles in the USPS fleet, most of them us-ing ethanol as a fuel source.

There are also electric, natu-ral gas and bio-diesel trucks.

Of course, another way USPS is trying to reduce its environmental impact is to cut out consumers trips—and the emissions entailed—to the post office. Consumers can now print out pre-paid labels to simply attach to packages. By scheduling a pickup from your home, the mailman who passes every day will pick up your pack-age and begin the delivery process.

Two other important pro-grams can help reduce con-sumers’ environmental foot-print. If you are going out of town, go to USPS.com and put your mail on hold until you return, eliminating un-necessary deliveries to your house. And alerting USPS when you move will also stop extraneous deliveries to your old abode.

While USPS may never be able to be as green as the beast that is killing it, e-mail, at least it is making strides in the right direction, even if you do get packages on Sun-days.

Con tan solo 20 años, la ar-tista dominicana-estadoun-idense Leslie Grace ha subi-do a la realiza del genero de musica bachata. Haciendo su debut professional a los 17 años, su persepevtiva a siempre sido de que los que escuchen la conoscan, y que ella los conosca a ellos. Esta relacion de fan a artista es importante para triunfar como musico. En el caso de Grace, no fue dificil que la gente se atrayara a sus soni-dos y voz, que transciende dos mundos.

Ahora, con nominaciones de Latin GRAMMY (Me-jor Álbum Tropical para su disco homónimo, 2013), y dos Premios Billboard, su posición como una de las mejores músicas latinas, sus prioridades sólo han crecido para sus fans con el nuevo EP “Lloviendo Estrellas” que sale a la venta el 23 de junio.

Pero antes de empezar en su viaje como artista, dice que la musica siempre fue una parte de su realidad, y de la cultura de su familia. “Desde pequeña siempre creci con mucha musica en mi casa. Venemos de padres domini-canos.” Aunque Grace es na-cida en la ciudad de Nueva York, dice que la musica era la cosa que unia a la familia. “Era el centro del hogar y yo creci viendo la musica de esa manera, viendo la mu-sica como algo que uniea a la gente y eso es algo que me atrayo a lo que es poder cantar.”

Entonces el apoyo que re-cibio despues de hacer esta realicion era que sus padres vieron que Grace queria ser cantante, y vieron que tanto queria triunfar este sueño. “Yo queria cantar y eso era mi plan. (Mis) padres bue-nos me apoyaron. Soy muy agracida a dios que me dio padres que si me apoyaron

en lo que es mi pasion porque hay padres que no escogen esa routa. Es por eso que estoy en donde estoy.”

COMO DUELE EL SILEN-CIO;” su tema debut con Sony Music Latin y el prim-er corte del EP que llegará a tiendas este 23 de junio. La joven que ha crecido frente a los ojos de la industria, alcanzando importantes hi-tos desde la corta edad de 17 años, regresa con un tema que demuestra su madurez artística y personal.

Hablando de su sonido, Grace se pone entusiasmada sobre lo que es la substancia y base para su sonido bach-ata. “Creci con la musica de la bachata. es algo tipico de nuestro pais pero tambien vi que habia un espacio de chicas de mi edad que eran parte de la industria latina pero (no) tambien en el gen-ero de la bachata. No habia una voz femenina y queria tomar esa oportunidad para ser esa chica que podia can-tar y poner en voz la histo-rias de chicas que le gustan la bachata pero que no te-nian una mujer que cantara sus historias o que cantara sus suenos.”

Estos instances en donde pone las historias de mucha-chas es se ven en las fotos que pusiera en voz la historias de ellas. entonces tambien que-ria traer algo nuevo al gen-ero y traer mis influencias del R&B y el pop conmigo al genero y hize eso con temas como “Be My Baby”.

Su nuevo EP, Lloviendo Estrellas viene con 7 can-ciones que traen esa misma infulencia, centrada en la bachata pero con influencia de pop/R&B y diferentes el-ementos, “que no se ven o ol-len regularmente en el gene-ro de la bachata,” dice Grace. “Yo definitativamente digo que es parte de mi cultura, creciendo de padres lati-nos pero nacida aqui en los

estados unidos esta fusion siempre ha estado alli en mi mente en mi oyido. creci eschucando musica tropical y latina, en mi casa, departe de mis padres.”

Pero ademas de eschuchar las musica latina, dice que sale afuera, y entonces las infuencias de los estados unidos llegan a su oido. Grace dice que saliendo con amigos, eschuchando la musica en ingles le da otro mundo, otra faceta a su mu-sica. “Esta fusion, esos dos mundos, esa sencibilidad para esos dos sonidos siem-pre ha estado alli, y creia que es igual para nuestra generacion. Los millenials que viven con padres lati-nos o que vienen de padres imigrantes, latinos o de otro lugar, se han criado aqui en los estados unidos.” Grace acaba diciendo que estos muchachos que escuchan quieren los dos mundos, los dos idiomas y las experien-cias similares de la cultura.

Con el nuevo album Llovien-do Estrellas, que sale el 23 de junio, dice Grace que tiene planes para salir en tour en latino-america, ademas de sentir muchas emociones a la venida de revelar el EP. “Me siento muy anciosa de revelar el EP entero. Son 7 canciones que los fans han estado esperando por un po-quito de tiempo. Quiero que ellos la disfruten conmigo y que sepan que escribi todas estas canciones en colabora-ciones con productores muy talentosos con la corazon en la mano, pensando en que yo queria oir. Pensando en lo que yo eh vivido estos varios meses y tambien pensando en lo que tanto han esperado oir esta musica.”

Acaba diciendo Grace, “I’m very, very happy.”

On one day, in one city, the world came together to grant one 5-year-old cancer patient his wish. The documentary “Batkid Begins” looks at the “why” of this flash phenom-enon. Why did the intense outpouring of spontaneous support for a child reverberate around the world and become one of the biggest good news stories ever? The film explores what happens when an event goes viral, and reveals surpris-ing truths about what happens when a nerve is touched in our digital society. Will the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foun-dation fulfill its mission to help Miles reclaim his childhood

after battling disease for more than half his short life? In the end, the film leaves audi-ences to decide: did Miles need the world for inspiration? Or did the world need Miles?

PATRICIA WILSON is the CEO, Make-A-Wish, Greater Bay Area, and was the mas-termind of the Batkid wish. She says, “one of the themes that came out of the day was renewing faith in humanity. If you had told me that through the course of fulfilling a child’s wish we could do that for a nation and beyond, I wouldn’t have believed it. I think the film captures the energy and

excitement of that day, which was palpable. It shows that a simple act of goodness can inspire others to do the same, and I think that’s a wonderful message for everyone—chil-dren and adults alike. This is compassion. This is generosity. This is love.”

“It was a little bit of a perfect storm,” says Wilson. “I think in the last decade or so, social media, which has become so much a part of our culture, has a tendency to be really snarky and cynical. And I think we’ve reached a certain threshold; there’s a fatigue with all the negativity. People want to be

inspired, and here was some-thing that empowered everyone to do something good. It was simple. I’m going to help this child feel like a Super Hero. Period. There was no ask, no money, nothing else. Just pure goodness.”

“Batkid Begins” premiered at the 2015 Slamdance Film Fes-tival and has since been ap-plauded at film festivals across the country, winning Audience Awards including Best Docu-mentary at San José’s Cine-quest. The film will be distrib-uted in limited release on June 26, 2015, by Warner Bros. Pic-tures and is rated PG.

With E3 officially started, all the major gaming companies pulled out all the stops when it came to their conferences. With their conferences, came a whole lot of new games, IPs, and new technologies from Microsoft and Sony. A lot of great games coming out this year and next year. With the major and anticipated con-ferences over, fans now wait in anticipation as more and more information comes out for their favorite games. Here are some of the most hyped games of E3.

When Microsoft’s Confer-ence was over, fans were left with a new sense of hope after their lack luster conferences in 2013 and 2014. The first in their lineup, and obvious choice for Microsoft, is the fol-low up to their titan of an ex-clusive series, Halo 5: Guard-ians. With it came game play from the campaign, “Warzone mode”, which blends person versus person with person versus AI into one massive battle.

Next came what all next gen owners have been hop-ing for, backwards compat-ibility, meaning you can play Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One. Another feature is the highly anticipated fourth installment in the main Fall-out series, Fallout 4 and that mods (allowing people to toil away and create their own games and apps as well as 're-mix' games) will be available on the Xbox and on a console for the first time. Other an-nouncements include, Gears of War 4, Rainbow Six siege, Tom Clancy’s The Division, and probably one of the most unique platformers to come out in recent years, CupHead, a 1930’s animation style game (think Mickey Mouse in “Steamboat Willie”) that I’m personally excited for.

Sony had an interesting

line up for the games com-ing out in the next two years,

some new and some old, but all had a fan-base that was overjoyed when they heard the announcement. One of those games, and a game that has long been anticipated for “Shadow of the Colossus” and “Ico” fans, “The Last Guard-ian”. The concept seems to be, that you are a little boy that controls a Griffin-like behe-moth to help you solve puz-zles in a beautifully designed world fully embracing the next generation power.

Another game they an-nounced, and one I men-tioned in my most anticipated games of E3 article, is “No Man’s Sky”, the Massively Multiplayer Online space ex-ploration game that lets you explore all of space with the ultimate goal of getting to the center of the universe. They showed space battles, Bea-cons in which you can docu-ment your discoveries, like wildlife, planets and universes to get credits, this game’s cur-rency. Also announced, was a remastering of “Final Fantasy 7”, which was met with a posi-tive feedback from fans. Sony came in strong this year and certainly enforced the idea that this year and next year is going to be very good for con-sole gaming in general.

A company that has been the face of controversy con-cerning the quality of their games, Electronic Arts, or EA, showed some strong poten-tial with their games. Games included their yearly sports games “NHL 16”, “NFL 16”, “FIFA 16”, which for the first time is including the women’s national soccer teams, and “NBA Live 16”, which will come with a mobile app to scan your face onto your cus-tom character. The biggest

announcements for them were the Star Wars games, “Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic’s” expansion, “Knights of the Fallen Em-pire” and “Star Wars: Battle-front”, both highly anticipated among Star Wars fans, in-cluding myself. Another game announced in the Mass Effect series, was “Mass Effect: An-dromeda”, the fourth in the Mass Effect series; revealed with little information to in-crease the hype surrounding the series as a whole. EA has made some big strides by re-leasing games for massive fan bases. Only things fans can do now, is wait for the games to release and judge EA’s dedi-cation to staying true to the source material and possibly reinvigorate the franchises.

At the time of writing this, Nintendo has yet to do their conference, but with antici-pated games like “Legend of Zelda”, “Mario Maker” and other titles that will be an-nounced, I’m sure they will blow the Nintendo fans out of the water with what they have in store. All these announce-ments are a lot of gold for the gaming industry and gamers. This year is looking to be an amazing year for gaming. As a long time gamer, I am ex-tremely excited for this year and next year when it comes to video games. Personally, I’m looking forward to the new Halo, Star Wars games, “No Man’s Sky”, “CupHead” and “Fallout 4”. Let’s hope this year is one of the greatest years for electronic entertain-ment of this generation. From what I’m seeing, it’s looking like an absolute certainty.

A Santo Tomás Moro se le conoce como el santo de las causas justas y la justicia divina, existen miles de testimonios de fieles que aclaman sus milagros, especialmente en asuntos legales, casos de corte y todo tipo de problemas judiciales. Su fecha de celebración es el día 22 de junio.

Se le conoció desde muy joven como un cris-tiano ejemplar, nació en Londres en 1478, su padre era un respetado juez. Estudió en la universidad de Oxford y se recibió de abo-gado. Siempre se destacó por ser un hombre justo y caritativo. A los clientes pobres no les cobraba honorarios.

Siempre se destacó por defender y sacar de la cárcel a personas inocentes, especialmente a jóvenes que deseaban enmendar su camino. La excelencia de sus servicios llegaron a oídos del propio Rey Enrique VIII, quien lo nom-bró caballero y abogado en la corte.

Cuando el Rey se divorció en contra de la voluntad del Papa, de su primera esposa

Catalina de Aragón, Santo Tomás Moro, de-cidió no aceptar a Enrique VIII como “Figura Suprema” de la nueva iglesia anglicana pues consideró este hecho como un acto de tra-ición que solamente satisfacía los deseos del Rey de poder casarse en repetidas ocasio-nes, lo que sucedió literalmente. Este hecho le valió al Santo, la pérdida de su status y la ruina financiera de toda su familia.

Posteriormente se le trató como a un traidor, fue encarcelado en la torre de Londres, priva-do de sus derechos, maltratado y finalmente decapitado el 6 de julio de 1535. Su nombre de pila fue Thomas More, con el paso del tiempo se castellanizó a Tomás Moro, en los países de habla hispana.

Quienes le conocieron le consideraban un hombre con corazón de Santo. Fue canoniza-do por el Papa Pío XI en 1935, y Juan Pablo II lo proclamó patrono de los gobernantes y de los políticos en el año 2000. Peticiones: Se le pide para resolver litigios, demandas, am-paros, para hacer prevalecer las causas justas y para encontrar abogados honestos.

OraciónDios Glorioso, por medio de la intercesión de Santo Tomás Moro, dame la divina gracia para enmendar mi vida y tener presente mi fin sin eludir la muerte, pues para quienes mueren en Ti, buen Señor, la muerte es la puerta a una vida de riqueza. Y dame, buen Señor, una mente humilde, modesta, calma, pacífica, paciente, carita-tiva, amable, tierna y compasiva en todas mis obras, en todas mis palabras y en todos mis pensamientos, para tener el sabor de tu santo y bendito espíritu. Dame, buen Señor, el deseo de estar contigo, de no evitar las calamidades de este mundo, no tanto por alcanzar las alegrías del cielo como simplemente por amor y la fe absoluta en Ti.Amén.

Last month’s announce-ment by Univision Commu-ni cations Inc. that it had ac-quired online destination The Root was the second major foray into African-American media by the company best known for its Hispanic media properties.

In December 2012, the UCI, which owns 62 television stations, inked a distribu-tion agreement to carry the Bounce TV, the over the air Black-targeted network, on its stations in San Francisco, Boston, Miami, Denver, Sac-ramento, Raleigh and Tam-pa.

“Bounce TV is the perfect companion for Univision as we continue to serve the New American Reality,” said Kevin Cuddihy, then president of Univision Television Group. UCI said in a statement that The Root will “leverage the company’s extensive digital production facilities and pub-

lishing infrastructure, while its editorial team will retain its voice and stay true to its mission.” With an average reach of five million unique visitors per month, accord-ing to ComScore, The Root is among the top Websites targeting African-Americans.

“Like Univision, The Root aims to serve a significant segment of America’s diverse population. Our diverse com-munities are continuing to define the fabric of the coun-try, from buying power, to social influence, to elections,” said Isaac Lee, president of News and Digital for UCI and CEO of its multiracial, Mil-lennials-focused Fusion net-work. “This game-changing union strengthens our ability to fulfill our shared missions

of informing and empower-ing our communities.”

“This bold new partnership between Univision and The Root underscores the ties that have long bound people of color together throughout the Western Hemisphere and is a sign of even greater levels of communication, collabora-tion and exchange between these culturally vital groups of people,” said Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., director of the Hutchins Center for African and African-American Re-search at Harvard University and chairman of The Root. Gates co-founded The Root along with Donald Graham, CEO and chairman of Gra-ham Holdings Company, in January of 2008.

the most innovative head-light in the collection, allows for a beam of up to 80 me-ters. More information can be found at www.Energizer.com/fathersdaysavings.

Write a StoryCelebrate all of Dad’s he-

roic accomplishments with a comic strip or short story. Whether your Super Dad fixed a flat tire in an emer-gency, helped you finish your science project at the 11th hour or turned a boring day of errands into an adventure, you can show your apprecia-

tion by making him the pro-tagonist of your own literary creation.

This Father’s Day, go be-yond the standard tie. With a bit of thoughtful creativity, you can let Dad know just how much he means to you.
