Protecting And Recovering Your Wages
For too many workers in the U.S., a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work doesn’t ring true. That’s especially the case in certain sectors of the economy including construction, food service, agriculture, janitorial, retail and hospitality. Too often, employers mistakenly or intentionally deny workers the wages to which they are legally entitled. (More on our site)
CA LABOR CODE TO REMOVE THE WORD ‘ALIEN’
SB 432 was signed by Governor California’s Governor Jerry Brown on 08.10.15. This law, effective January 1, 2016 removes the word ‘ALIEN’ from the California Labor Code to describe foreign-born workers. SB432 was sponsored by CA State Senator, the Honor-able Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia, CA) per report by THE DAILY POST, Palo Alto, CA on 08.11.15.

OPINIONAUGUST14-20, 2015
The following is the current “County of Santa Clara, Supe-rior court” (google it) break-down: Civil, Criminal, Fam-ily, Juvenile, Probate, Small Claims, and Traffic courts. Their Mission: The Superior Court in Santa Clara County (<scscourt.org>) is to serve the public by providing equal jus-tice for all in a fair, accessible, effective, efficient, and courte-ous (manner). Understand that, in addition to many ‘law enforcement agencies’ (such as Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA); Office of the Sheriff; Immigration and Citizens Enforcement (ICE), etc.) a hi-erarchy exists: Local, State, & Federal. Rulings of the Califor-nia State Supreme Court ‘are final rulings’ unless appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has the ultimate, final authority based on the U.S. Constitution. Do take time to read it, especially its first ten amendments known as the “Bill of Rights”. As a nation, all are governed by the ‘Rule of Law’ to establish social order. As citizens, we have agreed to ‘abide by these laws’. In addi-tion, ‘English Common Law’ exists and is used, but most of it is unwritten and is based upon historical tradition and practices.
Getting back to our journey through existing ‘Law En-forcement and Justice’ system, If a case requires being heard by a jury, then, that jury should represent the diversity of your community. Jury member selection is monitored by the Judge; your lawyer and pros-ecuting lawyer will have sev-eral pre-emptive dismissals of potential jurors. The goal is to have a jury of peers who may
be objective. Fair, and reason-able. When the jury finds you to be innocent, you will be re-leased immediately. When you are ‘found guilty as charged’, a sentence is imposed; then you are handed over to jail officers who will provide protective custody with emphasis upon ‘SSSS’ (Surveillance, Suppres-sion, Safety and Security).
A judge is obliged to apply current existing laws. Judges may not do any ‘court legisla-tion’. Only judges and courts are bound to follow existing laws. A great variation regard-ing interpretation may hap-pen when rulings made in one court are compared to those of another court (or commu-nity). The most important features of any court are those of being fair, uniform in the in-terpretations & application of existing law and related stan-dards. During the ‘sentenc-ing phase’, some judges are creative by substituting public service work’ or by requiring therapy and/or training. Other issues have to do with being on probation or supervised parole because of good behavior; or being allowed compassionate leave.
However, recent events in-dicate that double standards exists based on use of profiles, racism, gender, nationality, re-ligion, and ideologies applied. The Crime Act 1995 signed by President Clinton was the basis of ‘Three Strikes’ puni-tive measures which resulted, over time with individuals being sent to prison. Many of these are victims of the current ‘Law Enforcement and Justice’ system. Especially youth who had made very poor personal decisions about drug use, petty criminal acts, sexual acts, and violence. The result was over-crowded county, state and fed-eral prisons.
Consider the outcome of the actions taken by Governor Ronald Reagan’s Adminis-tration which closed down
almost all inpatient mental health institutions. Their mentally challenged patients were dumped onto the streets of our urban centers where, when each mentally chal-lenged individual misbehaved in public, each was arrested by local police. The outcome is that jails and prisons have become the caretakers of individuals having mental health challenges. This men-tally challenged cohort does not belong in a jail or prison. Recently the question was posed, “Should Insane Asy-lums be brought back?” Soci-ety’s response must be “NO”.
Recently, CA’s Governor Jer-ry Brown’s initiated the ‘Re-alignment Program’ which returned 1,200+ selected inmates back to county jails to mitigate the extreme over-crowding of CA State Prisons. EO asked, “is this the reason the Sheriff ’s proposed build-ing additional jail facilities costing $240 million?” Public hearings are recommended to enable the community to become informed, enable in-put about having full assess-ments, continuing education, application of mental health therapies, behavioral modi-fication, rehabilitation and training. The application of recent knowledge and tech-nology may permit even more creative sentencing’ which re-quire the individual to serve his/her sentence while re-maining in the family & com-munity setting, continuing school, job training, therapy while learning to be a contrib-uting community participant (social & economic). This form of ‘doing time’ reduces recidivism; is more humane and effective in teaching in-dividuals to stop making ‘per-sonal destructive decisions’. The price tag difference is SIGNIFICANT: $14,000 per year per supervised parolee compared to $45,000 per year per prison inmate.
José López Zamorano LAREDHISPANA.ORG
Hace muchos años, cuando gestioné mi primera licencia de conducir en los Estados Unidos, decidí convertirme en un donador de órganos. No tuve que pensarlo. Fue una reacción instintiva, natu-ral, elegir darle una segunda oportunidad en la vida a al-guien más en caso de un ac-cidente fatal.
Hoy en día, millones de personas que residen en este país son donadores de órga-nos. Es un auténtico ejército de voluntarios sin más co-mandante que una profunda convicción por el amor a la vida y por la solidaridad con el prójimo.
Las victorias de este ejército se pueden contar en miles de madres, padres, hijos o abue-
los que siguen aquí entre no-sotros, gracias al acto de gen-erosidad que significó donar un órgano para dar la posi-bilidad de la existencia a un enfermo que de otra manera perdería la vida.
Pero las cifras también muestran que millones de personas optaron por igno-rar la opción de ser donante. Quiero creer que para es-tas personas la reacción fue automática debido a los muchos mitos alrededor de la donación de órganos.
Uno de los principales mi-tos es la idea popular de que si somos donantes, los hos-pitales no se esforzarán por salvarnos en caso de emer-gencia. Nada más lejos de la verdad, pues los médicos son observantes de un juramento en el que se comprometen ética y moralmente para preservar la vida del paciente a toda costa.
Otros no lo hacen por sen-tirse o muy jóvenes, o muy viejos, o enfermos. Es cierto que las personas menores de 18 años requieren un permi-so especial de sus padres para ser donantes de órganos. Pero no hay edad límite para donar y sólo un médico pu-ede descartar a un donante por cuestiones de salud.
En este momento más de
100,000 personas en los Estados Unidos esperan un órgano que les pueda salvar la vida. Se estima que cada persona que dona sus órga-nos, puede mejorar la vida de hasta 50 personas. Y es este es el momento ideal para convertirse en parte del ejér-cito de donadores, pues ya comienza Semana Nacional para la Concientización de la Donación en los Grupos Mi-noritarios.
Sin embargo, para muchos los órganos estarán dis-ponibles demasiado tar-de. Esto es particularmente cierto para los latinos, que padecemos enfermedades crónicas como la diabetes o hipertensión que afectan ór-ganos como el riñón, el pán-creas y el corazón. Nuestra demanda de órganos es más alta que para otros grupos étnicos.
Los datos confirman que ser donante es un acto de gen-erosidad y solidaridad con la vida humana, y está lleno de beneficios. Infórmate sobre cómo convertirte en donante de órganos y súmate al ejérci-to creciente de personas que decidió donar la oportunidad de la vida y la salud.

Uber is partnering with “Life Rei-magined,” a subsidiary of AARP, to hire active seniors to become partner-drivers.
Nationally, Uber said it needs to add hundreds of thousands of people to its workforce - so “LIfe Reimagined” will offer workshops across California and information online to get people started.
Adam Sohn, vice president for stra-tegic initiatives at Life Reimagined, called the two organizations a natural fit since the ride-sharing app allows seniors to monetize one of their big-gest assets - their vehicle.
“We thought that would be a really positive opportunity for people in the Life Reimagined community to earn additional income, to be more self-empowered,” he said, “and maybe
starting their own business by just taking their car out of their driveway.”
Uber said more than half of its cur-rent drivers are age 40 and older, and 24 percent are 50 or older. To qualify to drive for Uber, a driver needs in-surance, a clean driving record and a car that is less than 10 years old.
Sohn said studies show that older people are more careful on the road than are younger drivers, making them ideal candidates to drive for Uber.
“Uber is also excited about the level of engagement from these more ex-perienced drivers,” he said. “and the level of safety that the passengers will enjoy.”
Part of the new agreement is that drivers who sign up for Uber through Life Reimagined get a $35 bonus af-ter they complete 10 trips. Informa-tion is on either the Uber or Life Rei-magined websites.

Las organizaciones “Life Rei-magined” (La Vida Re-imagina-da), subsidiaria de AARP, y Uber de San Francisco, hacen equipo
para ofrecer mas oportunidades de empleo a los adultos mayores como choferes de Uber.
La empresa afirma que, a nivel nacional, necesita agregar cientos de miles a su fuerza de trabajo. Por tal motivo, “Life Reimagned” ofrecera talleres en todo California ademas de informacion en linea, para que la gente pueda comen-zar. Asi lo explica Adam Sohn, vicepresidente de iniciativas estra-tegicas para “Life Reimagined”.
“Pensamos que seria una opor-tunidad realmente positiva para que la gente de la comunidad “La Vida Re-imaginada” gane un ingreso adicional, para que se vuelvan mas empoderados - y tal vez empiecen su negocio propio con solo tomar su auto y salir a la calle.”
Uber dice que actualmente mas de la mitad de sus choferes tienen mas de 40 anos, y el 24 por ciento mas de 50. Para calificar como
chofer Uber necesita seguro, un historial limpio de manejo y un auto que sea de un modelo de menos de 10 anos.
Sohn dice que los estudios muestran que la gente mayor es mas cuidadosa al manejar que los conductores jovenes, lo que les hace candidatos ideales para manejar para Uber.
“La organizacion Uber tambien esta emocionada por el nivel de compromiso de estos conduc-tores con mas experiencia, y por el nivel de seguridad que disfru-taran sus pasajeros.”
Parte del nuevo acuerdo es que los conductores que se inscriben a Uber a traves de “Life Reimag-ined” reciben un bono de 35 dol-ares tras completar sus primeros 10 viajes. La informacion esta en las paginas Web de Uber y de “La Vida Re-imaginada”.

En la comunidad latina, con frecuencia encontramos a nuestros hijos empezando con su primer trabajo tan pronto pueden para empezar a ayu-dar con los gastos familiares. Esto es particularmente cierto durante los meses del verano, cuando nuestros niños tienen más “tiempo libre”.
Sin embargo, el hecho de que dejen de ir a la escuela no significa que deban dejar de aprender.
Es más, el verano es la mejor época para enseñarles a sus hijos cómo manejar y ahorrar el dinero que ganan con su es-fuerzo. De hecho, es una opor-tunidad para que los padres y los hijos aprendan juntos.
Cuando llegue el primer cheque de pago del sueldo de nuestros jóvenes trabajadores, nuestra primera idea pudiera
ser la de cobrarlo, convertirlo en un giro bancario y pagar algunas de nuestras cuentas. Aún antes de actuar con esta idea en mente, la Campaña Hispana de Educación Fi-nanciera de Visa tiene un plan para asegurar que el dinero que sus niños ganen con su es-fuerzo les sirva para aprender, recompensarlos y beneficia-rlos a todos a corto y a largo plazo.
Prepare un presupuestoEl salario mínimo en los
Estados Unidos es de $5.15 la hora. Un joven adulto que gane esta cantidad y trabaje 40 horas a la semana ganará $206 por semana antes de impuestos. Es importante que esta cantidad se use pru-dentemente. Si el dinero de su cheque de pago que su joven adulto lleva a casa es de $150 después de impuestos, éste es un ejemplo de cómo podría verse su presupuesto:
Ropa y artículos escolares
para regresar a la escuela /$30Gastos familiares/ $50Dinero para diversiones /$50Fondo para estudios univer-
sitarios /$20
Abra una cuenta de chequesLa mejor experiencia que
una persona joven pueda ten-er es abrir su primera cuenta de cheques. Eso les dará un enorme sentido de logro y desde el principio empezarán a manejar su dinero de la manera correcta.
Con una cuenta de cheques, pueden hacer su contribu-
ción a los gastos familiares sin tener que esperar en las largas filas que existen cuando se compran giros bancarios y sin el peligro de que les roben el dinero que ganaron con es-fuerzo o de perderlo por otros riesgos en el hogar, gracias a la comodidad que proporcionan los cheques. Está protegido y seguro, y con frecuencia, hay representantes que hablan español y están dispuestos a hacer que esto suceda.
Abra una cuenta de ahorrosIgualmente importante
como es ayudar a los seres
queridos, los trabajos durante el verano pueden ayudar a nuestros hijos a que ahorren para los momentos más im-portantes de sus vidas. El abrir una cuenta de ahorros ayuda a nuestros hijos a ahorrar dinero para gastos futuros, de modo que estos gastos no se convier-tan en una carga económica más adelante. Algunos ejem-plos serían ropa para ir de re-greso a la escuela; la toga, el birrete y las fotografías para la graduación; viajes de estudio y el fondo para sus estudios uni-versitarios.
Es tan importante ahorrar para el futuro como lo es con-tribuir para las necesidades inmediatas de nuestra familia.
Aprendan juntosEl abrir una cuenta de
cheques y una de ahorros pud-iera ser una primera experi-encia tanto para usted como para sus hijos. En realidad, esta experiencia pudiera pro-ducir un poco de temor debido
a los mitos que existen sobre los bancos. Es importante sa-ber que todos los bancos de los EE.UU. aseguran su dinero hasta $100,000; hay repre-sentantes que hablan español en muchas de las localidades y manejar tu dinero a través de un banco es mucho más seguro y cómodo que manejar el dinero en efectivo. Además de disminuir sus probabili-dades de ser una víctima de un robo o de un asalto, usted y su familia no tienen que preocu-parse de perder el dinero en efectivo. Tendrá la tranqui-lidad de saber que todo por lo que ha trabajado con tanto es-fuerzo estará protegido.

Disfrute el verano con refrescantes
recetas de uvas de California
BPT
El verano tiene algo que todo lo hace parecer más brillante y ligero, más relajado y con menos prisa. Así es como también debería ser la cena, con el mínimo tiempo de pre-paración para poder aprovechar el tiempo al máximo y poder sentarse y disfrutar de la compañía de los in-vitados a la mesa.
Las ensaladas como plato fuerte son la opción perfecta para las noches veraniegas. Sus ingredien-tes se pueden preparar y mezclar con anticipación, para que cuando llegue la hora de la cena, solo haya que unirlos. Esta ensalada vietnamita de pollo, fideos y uvas es una receta favorita. Sus ingredientes– desde el pollo a la parrilla y los fideos a los vegetales cortados y el aderezo dulce y picante– pueden estar listos
con anticipación, o preparados rápi-damente de una vez. Cada magnífica receta guarda un secreto o ingredi-ente inesperado que le da un toque especial al plato. En esta ensalada, son las uvas de California, las cuales aportan la textura crujiente adecua-da, el ligero dulzor y el brillante color que ilumina este plato.
Y para darle el cierre que merece esa comida con algo refrescante, dulce y súper fácil de hacer, pruebe estas deliciosas mini tartas de yogur congelado. Este postre pequeño proporciona la cantidad perfecta de dulce satisfacción y evita un so-brepaso de calorías. Además, son perfectas para satisfacer los apetitos de los chicos.

I am interested in learning how to drive. How can I find a credible driving school?
The DMV offers a webpage where you can find helpful information about selecting a driving school for driver education and driver training. Simply visit www.dmv.ca.gov and in the search box enter Selecting a Driving School.
You should know that the DMV licenses professional schools and instructors in California and requires them to meet rigid qualifying stan-dards and carry liability insur-ance, hold a bond, and main-tain complete records for a DMV inspection.
Also, if you use the services of a professional driving school, ask to see the instructor’s identification card. Instruc-
tors must pass a written ex-amination every three years or show proof of continuing education in the traffic safety field.
What is the purpose of the Renewal Identification Num-ber that appears on my regis-tration billing notice?
The Renewal Identification Number is required when calling the DMV customer service center or using a field office self-service terminal to renew your vehicle registra-tion. It is not required if you plan to renew your registra-tion using the DMV website.
To locate a self-service ter-minal near you, visit: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/fo/fo_sst/.
My car is registered, but I cannot drive it because I blew the engine, and therefore I cancelled my insurance. Do I need to report that to DMV?
Yes. If your registration fees are due within 60 days of the vehicle registration expira-tion date, you may place your vehicle on a Planned Non-Operation status and pay the $19 fee. If your vehicle is not within 75 days of the registra-tion renewal, you may place your vehicle on an Affidavit of Non-Use (REG 5090). Make sure to park your non-opera-tional vehicle on private prop-erty and not a public street.
Make the changes online at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/por-tal/dmv/detail/online/vrir/vr_sb1500anu or download the form and mail it to the DMV.

County in Compliance with Lactation Accommodation
Policy
San Jose, CA – The Santa Clara County Board of Su-pervisors on Tuesday adopt-ed a Proclamation declaring the month of August “Breast-feeding Awareness Month” in Santa Clara County and celebrated the compliance of the County with its Lactation Accommodation Policy.
In April, the County Board adopted new standards for the “Family Friendly Work-place Award” program which required dedicated lactation rooms in new large County Facilities. That action es-tablished the County as the first large employer to adopt the Awards standards. Since then, the County has made it a top priority to reach compliance with the Lacta-tion Accommodation Policy. Now, with 12 dedicated lacta-tion rooms at 9 different Ma-jor County Facilities, Santa Clara County has achieved
compliance with the Policy.
“The County’s prompt com-pliance with the Lactation Accommodation Policy dem-onstrates our commitment to mothers and families in the community,” said Supervisor Cindy Chavez.
Breastfeeding is a crucial first step in protecting the health of mothers and in-fants, nourishing infants, and building a foundation for a healthy immune system. However, lack of support at work and in the community is a major barrier to breast-feeding mothers.
It is important that we con-tinue to encourage residents to learn about the benefits of breastfeeding, support mothers who choose and are able to breastfeed, stand in solidarity with mothers who are unable or choose not to breastfeed, and support fam-ilies and organizations that improve the health of babies, their families, and our entire community.

San Jose CALIFORNIA
Mayor Liccardo announced Tuesday that Lee Wilcox, the Interim Mayor’s Budget Director who has been serv-ing since January, has been appointed the Budget Direc-tor, leading strategic devel-opment of budget and fiscal matters. Wilcox, who has worked in the San Jose City Manager’s office since 2008 prior to joining the Mayor’s staff, had previously served as the Assistant to the City Manager/Downtown Man-ager.
“Lee brings a combination
of budget and management experience that was a tre-mendous asset to the May-or’s office, City Council and
Administration during our first budget process as it was unanimously approved,” said Mayor Liccardo.
Wilcox’s service over the
past seven months as Interim Mayor’s Budget Director has been invaluable to helping Mayor Liccardo as well as the new Councilmembers and their staffs through a success-ful transition to their new roles. He has worked effec-tively with the City Manager’s Budget Office to help ensure that the City’s annual budget and the Mayor’s Budget Mes-sages were in practical align-ment to accomplish high pri-ority goals for the community in a fiscally responsible man-ner.
“I am excited and honored
to serve in the Mayor’s office
and to continue to work for this great City and organiza-tion,” said Wilcox.
Following his experience
as Chief of Staff for former Councilmember Nancy Pyle, Wilcox joined OED in 2008 as the City’s first Downtown Manager, a position created to be the clear go-to leader for Downtown on behalf of the City. During the closure of the Redevelopment Agen-cy and its Downtown Divi-sion in 2012, Wilcox played a critical role in managing the transition to a new model of shared responsibility and stakeholder empowerment for Downtown. His efforts helped sustain confidence in Downtown’s direction and set the stage for the current positive momentum.

STONIE CLAIMS TACO CROWN!
At the first-ever Chachos Taco Eating Contest in downtown San José in 2014,
CA, Matt “The Megatoad” Stonie of San José, CA, did something that no-one in San José, CA had ever seen before: He ate 101 tacos in 8 minutes. This incredible dis-play of power and speed took place amid the Dia San José Festival.
Stonie was fast throughout and did not need Chestnut, J by his left or right to inspire him to greatness. The need to win came from within. The need to create history came from within. Eight minutes later, those things that were within Matt “The Megatoad” Stonie had new neighbors, as 101 tacos were also within him.
It was a great day. Not a great day to be a taco, how-ever, it must be said.
This year the table has been set, and we excited to announce that Matt “The
Megatoad” Stonie will de-fend his title as the Chachos Taco Champion and work towards breaking his own record and fending off any want to be champions.

Initiative Strengthens San José’s
Manufacturing Industry,
Stimulates Jobs
San José, CACALIFORNIA
Mayor Sam Liccardo an-nounced on Wednesday an initiative to preserve and strengthen manufacturing activity, broadening prosper-ity and creating a pathway to middle class jobs. Represen-tatives from the City of San José, local manufacturing companies, workforce train-ers, community colleges, and power suppliers endorsed
the Mayor’s initiative and their commitment to grow-ing manufacturing jobs in San José.
“In response to what I have
heard from manufacturing companies on the challenges they face doing business, I am committed to collabo-rating with our partners to create a competitive envi-
ronment where they flour-ish and generate more tech manufacturing jobs,” said Mayor Sam Liccardo.
Through the initiative the
City of San José will pro-vide several incentives to strengthen its manufactur-ing industry, including:
·Providing permit fee waiv-ers for manufacturing build-ing retrofits,
·A 60-day permit approval process for expanding and relocating manufacturing companies,
·A 1% building and struc-tures tax for new construc-tion and tenant improve-ments for manufacturers, and
·Preserving scarce industri-al lands to promote growth of the manufacturing sector.
Private sector
incentives include:·PG&E offering competitive
economic development rates and expedited approval for
energy assessments,· Bloom Energy offering in-
novative ways to reduce en-ergy costs, and
· Community colleges work-ing with Work2Future to pro-vide skills training.
The Mayor’s Manufacturing
Initiative was launched at the Jabil Blue Sky Center in South San José. Jabil has recently expanded its manufactur-ing operations and envisions continued future growth in the area. “Jabil is profoundly committed to manufacturing in America and our innova-tive Blue Sky Center in San José is living proof,” said Da-vid Wahl, VP of Operations and General Manager of Jabil San José . “We have built a world-class facility where innovators can bring their product ideas to life. Blue Sky reflects our focus on expand-ing jobs in the manufacturing space and engaging youth in this compelling career path here in San José and the around the world.”
Manufacturers consistently report a shortage of skilled workers as a key challenge to expanding operations in the US. In this regard, Jeff Ruster, Executive Director of Work2Future said that “I am working with local uni-versities and colleges to align and expand training in ap-plied engineering, machin-ing skills, and product design to better reflect the skills and experience that are needed. We are committed to roll-ing out customized training programs that will support manufacturers in securing the skilled workforce they seek.”
PG&E and Bloom Energy
representatives expressed their support to advancing Mayor Liccardo’s initiative as well.
Travis Kiyota, VP Corporate
Affairs of PG&E committed to “helping local businesses in the City of San Jose grow through incentives including competitive economic devel-opment rates. When we do this we help businesses grow, save money and stay in Cali-fornia.”
Asim Hussein, VP Market-
ing and Customer Experi-ence of Bloom Energy of-fered to “work in partnership with PG&E, the City of San José and local manufacturers to provide discounted rates to growing manufacturers.”
Mayor Liccardo believes
that this initiative gives man-ufacturers the confidence they need that the City of San José and its partners are working towards providing the right economic climate for their growth. In addition, these efforts to “next shore manufacturing” will pro-mote opportunities to grow middle income jobs for San José’s unemployed and un-deremployed residents.

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA
The County of Santa Clara is joining Governor Jerry Brown, the State of Califor-nia, and other local county child support agencies in recognizing August as Child Support Awareness Month. The observance focuses on the role parental, emotional and financial support play in the well-being and develop-
ment of children as healthy and productive adults.
“Child support is an es-sential source of income for families, and it prevents many children from living in poverty,” said President Dave Cortese, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. “When parents provide fi-nancial and emotional sup-port, children have a better chance of prospering.”
The County of Santa Clara Department of Child Sup-port Services (DCSS) col-lects over $91 million a year in child support. Approxi-mately $3 million annually is received through cash pay-ments. With an estimate of 37,500 cases and caseload sizes ranging between 150 to 550 per caseworker, the De-partment is the 9th largest local child support agency in California.
“Parenting is an extraordi-narily rewarding life experi-ence, and it is a long term re-sponsibility,” said Supervisor Cindy Chavez, Chair of the Board of Supervisors Chil-dren, Seniors and Families Committee. “Regardless of family structure, child sup-port helps parents maintain an active role in providing for the emotional and physi-cal needs of their children, thereby ensuring that they grow into thriving, self-suffi-cient adults.”
The Department of Child Support Services consistently strives to help parents bet-ter manage their child sup-port obligations. Staff refers parents to community based organizations and resource programs that can help them address the significant bar-riers to staying involved in the lives of their children and complying with their court-ordered child support obliga-tions.
“We understand that meet-ing their parental obligations to support their children can be challenging given stressful work and family demands,” said Ignacio J. Guerrero, Di-rector of the County of Santa Clara Department of Child Support Services. “Our em-ployees continue to go above and beyond our core mission of establishing and collecting child support payments. Our goal is to ensure children and family clients are receiving the support necessary to help children become well-adjust-ed adults.”
The Department of Child Support Services focuses on helping address the barriers that parents face in dealing with their child support ob-ligations. Employees refer non-custodial parents to the Santa Clara County Father-hood Collaborative for assis-tance addressing child visi-tation issues, participation in parenting workshops and support groups, access to job
training and education re-sources, and connection with advocates for positive father-hood and male involvement. Additionally, parents are referred to the Family Law Facilitator’s Office for legal assistance, such as preparing court forms, legal self-help workshops, and custody-re-lated issues.
The employees of the Coun-ty of Santa Clara Department of Child Support Services are celebrating Child Support Awareness Month by collect-ing staff donations to fund a Back-to-School Supplies Giveaway for their clients during the month of August, while supplies last. Nearly 400 supply bags will be given to client families dur-ing their visits. The supply bags include binder paper, folders, pencils, erasers and other items to help school-aged children prepare for a productive upcoming school year.

Notice of Petition to Adminis-ter Estate of
Zolia A. Headley No.115PR177075
A Petition for Probate has been filed by George D Headley Jr, Roberto E. Headley, in the Supe-rior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. The petition re-quests that George D Headley Jr, Roberto E. Headley be ap-pointed as personal representa-tives to administer the estate of the decedent, Zolia A. Headley. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representa-tive to take any actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consent to the proposed ac-tion.) The independent adminis-tration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 09/30/2015 at 9:30am, Dept. 10, located at 191 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95113.
If you object to the granting of this petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objec-tions with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the per-sonal representative appointed by the court within the later of either: 1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representa-tive as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or 2) 60 days from the date of mail-ing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-praisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

This past weekend thou-sands converged into the Golden Gate Park Polo Fields to hear musical acts that ranged from hip hop to psychedelic, eat gourmet foods on the go, and be part of the 7th annual Outside Lands in San Francisco.
Headlining the 3 day music festival were Elton John, Kendrick Lamar, and Mumford and Sons among others.
The chilly days and cool nights are a temperate op-posite to the hot desert climate of Coachella Val-ley Music and Arts Festival which goes in Indio Cali-fornia. Outside Lands also differs in its focus: envi-ronmental awareness, art, wine and food.
Being in the Silicon Val-ley, it only makes sense that this festival is progres-sive in its pursuit of clean environment, as seen by
the masses of volunteers in green tees constantly scouring the park lands with clean up bag in hand. All food containers are also compostable, easily dis-carded in one of the many available trash/composta-ble bins at the event.
Their are many pieces of art which form walls on the edges of some of the park every year, with new pieces of art being created at each festival by acclaimed artist. These happen on the spot, so patrons can enjoy the music while watching these pieces being made. From happy cartoon characters to aliens and monsters, these are some of the most eclectic pieces, much like the city itself.
From “Wine Lands”, “Beer Lands” and “Choco Lands” Outside Lands Music Fes-tival has food and drinks covered. Priding itself in being “a mecca for food and drink”, the long lines were seen for favorite picks such as chicken and waf-fles, pork belly burgers, and
a dizzying array of desserts.
The music of course was eclectic, including indie folkers Mumford and Sons, the hip hop and jazz styl-ings of Kendrick Lamar, as well as festival veterans Cold War Kids. As the night loomed the festival gave way to the array of purple, green and blue lights il-luminating the treeline of the polo fields, turning the crisp cold nights into a mu-sic venue worthy of being called ‘awe inspiring’.
As Sunday night closed, you had the final two acts, Sir Elton John on the main stage, and electronic music act Axwell & Ingrosso on the other end of the park. Two very different musical genres and styles, but to each one thousands flocked and delighted in their pres-ence as the final curtains fell on Sunday night. And so Outside Lands, tucked into Golden Gate Park, brought its charm out in full force for fans of music, art and food.

“As artists, it’s not everyday that the opportunity comes along to create something beautiful for the city you love,” said 2015 Heart Artist, William Westley of Polaroid SF. “The General is such a incredible institution; it felt great to be able to help them out through our art. Seeing people react to the finished Heart made all the time and effort we put in well worth it.”
“I had admired the Hearts my whole life, seeing them all over the Bay Area, and I was happy to find out that anyone could submit a design,” said 2015 Heart Artist Kristin Farr. “It was a challenge and an honor to paint one of these big, bulbous, beautiful Hearts, and I was grateful and proud to have the op-portunity to use my love for painting to support The General.”
Since the project’s inception in 2004, Bay Area artists have created more than 200 Hearts that have gone on display all across the city of San Francisco and beyond, from Union Square to the lobbies or conference rooms of corporate sup-porters throughout the Bay Area, including Wells Fargo, Intel and Chevron. Each Heart is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art and celebrates the diversity of San Francisco through de-signs made of acrylic paints, mosaic art, mixed media sculp-tures, Swarovski crystals and more.
Artists have the option to propose a design for either a Large Heart (5’ tall x 6’ wide x 40” deep) Table Top Heart (16” tall x 17” wide x 8” deep), or Mini Heart (7” tall x 6” wide x 2” deep). Select Large Hearts will have the opportunity to be displayed in San Francisco’s Union Square beginning in February 2016.

La Edición “Cool Schools” Muestra Nue-vas Tendencias en la Sustentabilidad Uni-
versitaria
San Francisco — Sierra Magazine, la publicación ofi-cial del Sierra Club, publicó hoy su novena edición de la clasificación de las univer-sidades más verdes (“Cool Schools”) de Estados Unidos. Los 10 centros de enseñanza superior mejor clasificados mostraron un profundo y significativo compromiso por proteger el medio am-biente, confrontar los prob-lemas climáticos y fomentar la responsabilidad medioam-biental.
Cuatro de las 10 mejores tienen un alto porcentaje de estudiantes hispanos, fiel re-
flejo de las comunidades que sirven.
Más de 150 universidades completaron el extenso cues-tionario de Sierra sobre prác-ticas sustentables en los cam-pus. Usando un sistema de calificaciones a la medida, los investigadores de Sierra cla-sificaron a los centros basán-dose en sus compromisos a mantener altos estándares medioambientales.
“Nos sirve de gran inspi-ración cómo las univer-sidades están liderando el combate contra el cambio climático”, dijo Avital Ad-ams, la editora de estilo de Sierra Magazine. “Desde la construcción verde hasta el ahorro de agua pasando por la disponibilidad de cientos de clases sobre ecología, los esfuerzos de estas escuelas
son profundos, y están cam-biando no sólo la fisonomía de los campus, sino también las mentes de los estudiantes que están educando”.
Estas son las 10 univer-sidades más verdes según
Sierra Magazine:
University of California, Irvine (24% de estudiantes hispanos)
University of California, Davis (18% de estudiantes hispanos)
University of Wisconsin—Oshkosh
Colorado State University (Fort Collins, CO)
Oberlin College (Oberlin, OH)
University of Connecticut University of California,
San Diego (17.5% de estudi-antes hispanos)
University of Washington,
Seattle Lewis & Clark College
(Portland, OR) University of California,
Berkeley (13.6% de estudi-antes hispanos)
Este es el sexto año con-secutivo que UC Irvine entra entre las 10 mejores, y es la segunda vez consecutiva que se clasifica en primer lugar, gracias en parte a tres proyec-tos solares en su campus, una planta de generación eólica de 19 megavatios y metas de eficacia energética que se su-peran consistentemente.
Estos son otros factores que lanzaron a estas escuelas al
“top 10” de nuestra lista: res-taurantes que sirven alimen-tos orgánicos y locales, siste-mas de desecho que limitan el uso de basurales, opciones de transporte que ahorran el uso de carros a estudiantes y empleados, programas aca-démicos que se centran in-tensamente en la ecología, y métodos efectivos que ahor-ran agua y energía.
“La juventud comprende la necesidad de confrontar la disrupción climática y fomentar la economía. Por eso es que universitarios de todo el país se han unido a la Coalición Estudiantil del Sierra Club y su la campaña
“Sieze the Grid” (mejorar el tendido eléctrico), el cual busca el 100% de uso de en-ergía local en los campus”, dijo Karissa Gerhke, direc-tora nacional de la Coalición Estudiantil del Sierra Club. “Las Universidades Verdes son una selección de centros que han dado pasos concre-tos hacia estas metas. Nos complace trabajar con estas universidades para continuar el camino hacia una energía 100% limpia”.

SANTA BARBARA, Ca-lif. - The federal government should immediately inspect all the oil pipelines on or near the California coast. That’s the request in a legal petition filed Thursday by the Center for Biological Diversity to the U.S. Interior and Transpor-tation Departments.
The request comes in the wake of the Refugio oil spill in May near Santa Barbara, when a 28-year-old pipeline owned by Plains All Ameri-can burst, killing hundreds of animals and fouling 100 miles of coastline.
“That’s just not acceptable,” says Kristen Monsell, staff attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity. “The federal government needs to step up and take a more active role, so that problem areas are identified and fixed before another oil spill hap-pens, not after.”
Under the current system, the oil companies police
themselves, doing their own inspections on pipes in envi-ronmentally sensitive areas, including the ocean, approxi-mately every five years.
But the preliminary gov-ernment probe into the Refugio spill indicated much more serious corrosion than the company had reported. The petition doesn’t specify a deadline for the additional inspections, but calls the need “immediate.”
Opponents point out gov-ernment inspections would cost taxpayers millions. Monsell counters that the cost of not doing them would be much higher.
“The coastal environment just can’t handle another spill like this,” she says. “If the federal government doesn’t have the resources to do these inspections, then it really should just de-commission all of this aging offshore infrastructure.”
The petition asks for the inspection of at least 213 miles of pipeline in federal waters and state near-shore waters. Monsell explains much of it was built in the late 1960s and early 1980s, making it older and more vulnerable than the pipe-line that burst.

EN CINES EL 21 DE AGOSTOAEM
Quienes hayan podido ver el trailer de “Hitman: Agent 47”, la gran superproducción del cine de acción que 20th Century Fox estrenará en todos los cines del país este 21 de agosto, segu-ramente se habrán quedado intrigados por su inusual propuesta. Un hombre misterioso que tiene un código de barras implantado en su nuca y que parece ser absolutamente mortífero a la hora de liquidar contricantes, una chica desconcertada que debe decidirse entre seguir a un hombre apuesto, encarnado por el mismísimo Zachary Quinto de “Star Trek”, quien parece ser su amigo, y el hombre de cabeza rapada que aparentemente quiere matarla, pero que según vemos después, en realidad está defendiéndola de una conspiración en la que todos los que los rodean están involucrados. Y aunque haya que ir a ver la película para terminar de descifrar de qué va la cosa, algo queda absolutamente claro: para rodar las impresionantes escenas de ac-ción que sin lugar a dudas definen la propuesta, no se han escatimado recursos.
Basado en el popular videojuego que fue lanzado originariamente para PC una década y me-dia atrás, y que ha tenido suficiente éxito como para haber generado 5 secuelas, la última de las cuales llegará a las tiendas en diciembre de este año, “Hitman: Agent 47” ha logrado trasladar a la pantalla grande la intensidad y la complejidad de esta historia de espionaje que alcanzó enormes picos de popularidad. En los hechos, esta no es la primera vez que se intenta llevar las aventuras del agente 47 a la pantalla grande. En 2007, Fox estrenó una predecesora que con el simple título de “Hitman” contaba en su elenco con Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott y la bella ucraniana Olga Kurylenko.
El nuevo film, una mirada completamente nueva a la franquicia, marca el debut en el cine de ficción del laureado realizador de videos musicales Aleksander Bach, y fue rodado en Berlin y en Singapur, dos ciudades espectaculares que ciertamente han sido muy bien utilizadas por esta nueva voz cinematográfica. En la historia, tendremos que ir descubriendo quién es quién una complicada confabulación de la mano de la protagonista, Katia van Dees, encarnada por la ascendente Hannah Ware, a quien recordamos por su participación en las series “Betratyal” y “Boss”, y quien también ha actuado en “Oldboy” y en “Shame”. Ella emergerá de años de vivir escondida y pronto descubrirá que posee un poder especial para percibir que es lo que está por ocurrir. Decidida a encontrar a su padre, a quien no ve desde hace muchos años, Katia también se enterará y no de la mejor manera que son muchos los que están interesados en capturarla. La clave de todo estará, sin embargo, en el misterioso hombre con el código de barras en la nuca, quien sólo usa como nombre Agente 47, un singular homenaje a los 46 que lo precedi-eron. ¿Quienes eran? ¿Y por qué él parece verdaderamente indestructible? Preciso, implacable y verdaderamente elegante a la hora de despachar a un enemigo, no va a parar hasta liquidarlo, aunque el mismo se sorprenderá de los sentimientos que de vez en cuando aparecen y parecen interferir en la misión.
Otro actor en pleno ascenso, Rupert Friend, el británico que encarna a Peter Quinn en la exitosa “Homeland” , y quien también ha dejado su marca en el cine con sus papeles en “The Young Victoria”, “Cheri”, “The Boy in the Striped Pijamas” y “Pride & Prejudice”, es el encargado de interpretarlo. Y aunque contar de que van sus papeles sería revelar demasiado sobre el ar-gumento, hay que mencionar que en el elenco de esta película plena de estilizadas escenas de acción realizadas a una escala global también participan el alemán Thomas Kretschmann y el irlandés Ciarán Hinds.

Hace unos días me llamó mucho la atención un video de YouTube en el cual un espiritista que se hace llamar “ el cami-nante solitario”, realizaba una sesión espiritista invocando el espíritu del Papa Juan Pablo II, ahora declarado santo de la iglesia católica.
Las sesiones espiritistas siempre han llamado la atención de la gente porque aunque sí existen mediums capaces de enta-blar contacto con los espíritus y entidades de otras dimensio-nes, también existe mucho fraude alrededor de este tema. Du-rante la sesión espiritista con Juan Pablo II, se hicieron varias preguntas con respecto a la iglesia católica.
Me sorprendí mucho con cada una de las respuestas y aun-que muchas de ellas son rumores que han ido creciendo, resul-ta difícil el admitir que el clero católico haya sido y siga siendo capaz de tantos hechos vergonzosos y terribles.
El espíritu del Papa en cuestión dijo que estaba muy triste y decepcionado del Vaticano, a quien él considera “una em-presa” y no una verdadera institución espiritual y religiosa al servicio de los creyentes como nos han hecho creer durante
siglos. El Vaticano es dueño de mucho del dinero y del oro que se otorga en créditos a distintos países del mundo, son ellos los creadores de la deuda externa, son grandes accionistas de los bancos más poderosos y acaudalados, asimismo poseen una de las fábricas de armamento más grandes del mundo.
La prostitución con jovencitas y jovencitos en el Vaticano ya no se puede ignorar ni tapar con un dedo. El Papa anterior Benedicto XVI, se vio obligado a renunciar al observar tanta podredumbre y literalmente fue silenciado.
Muchos pasajes de la Biblia han sido alterados por los Papas en siglos anteriores y otros libros de la misma fueron extraídos completamente para poder idiotizar a las masas respecto a los conceptos religiosos más trascendentales. Uno de esos libros extraídos es el evangelio según Santo Tomás Apóstol, en ese libro se relata entre otros sucesos, la parte humana y senti-mental de Jesucristo quién según Santo Tomás, tenía esposa e hijos.
¿Por qué la iglesia católica nos ha hecho creer algo diferente?
Toda esa farsa del celibato de los sacerdotes es puro cuento, un montaje que utilizan con oscuros propósitos. Deberían de-jar que se casen los curas y las monjas, hay miles y miles de per-
sonas que durante su niñez y adolescencia fueron molestados sexualmente por sacerdotes enfermos, y lo peor del caso es que la iglesia no hace nada al respecto, sólo unas huecas discul-pas ofrecidas que no ayudan a nadie. La fe católica es hermosa nos dijo Rafael, quién prefirió permanecer en el anonimato, sin embargo; fui víctima de dos sacerdotes que me acosaron sexualmente cuando cursaba la primaria y secundaria.
Gracias al cielo estamos viviendo una época de mayor enten-dimiento y están saliendo a la luz por fin, las atrocidades co-metidas por muchos sacerdotes quienes se han visto envueltos en narcotráfico, trata de personas, robos, estafas, prostitución, etc. Ya no nos creemos el cuento que el curita del pueblo es casi un santo...Eso sólo ocurre en las telenovelas pero en la vida real las cosas son muy distintas, señaló Rafael.
Llegará el día en que estos señores tengan que dar cuentas por todas sus maldades y parece que ese día llegará pronto. Antes de despedirse, de la sesión espiritista, el supuesto espíri-tu de Juan Pablo II, afirmó que un escándalo peor que el de la pedofilia sacudirá los cimientos del Vaticano, el cuál colapsará debido al rechazo y repudio del mundo entero.
Dios nos libre de todo mal. Amén.

If you’re a white-collar worker (a person who makes a living translating the value of your intellectual property into wealth) as opposed to a manual laborer (a person who translates the value of their mechanical energy into wealth), get ready for a wild ride.
Remember the receptionist on the 15th floor who used to take excellent phone mes-sages on those adorable pink pre-printed message pads? Her job predeceased yours by a few short Internet years.
Why?The receptionist was re-
placed with voicemail, door buzzers and a few other dis-parate automated systems that were more efficient and materially reduced expenses.
Why bring up such an obvi-ous piece of recent history? Well … as it turns out, your job may be the next – but you probably don’t see it coming. After all, you have domain ex-pertise that machines could never match (at least, not in the near future), so your job is safe. Right?
The Answer Is Not BinarySome jobs are more secure
than others. It depends where your core competency sits on Ray Kurzweil’s “calcula-tions per second per $1,000 of computer cost over time” curve. The end of your white-collar job is scheduled just past that point. And because of the exponential nature of this curve, it could be way sooner than you think.
But … how soon is soon?At this moment, the rate of
technological change is the slowest you will ever experi-ence for the rest of your life. There is plenty of historical data to back up this state-ment; my favorite writing on the subject is Ray Kurzweil’s 2001 essay entitled “The Law of Accelerating Returns,” which begins,
An analysis of the history of technology shows that tech-
nological change is exponen-tial, contrary to the common-sense ‘intuitive linear’ view. So we won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate). The ‘returns,’ such as chip speed and cost-effectiveness, also increase exponentially. There’s even exponential growth in the rate of exponential growth. Within a few decades, ma-chine intelligence will sur-pass human intelligence, leading to the Singularity—technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of hu-man history.
Can You Think Exponentially?
If, in this particular pond, lily pads double every day, and if it will take 30 days for the pond to be completely covered with lily pads, what day is depicted in this photo-graph?
The pond is roughly half
covered, so it’s day 29. Most of us would not have noticed the impending bio-disaster for the first 29 days. We’d just wake up on day 30 to a fully covered pond. Such is the na-
ture of exponential change when observed by human beings. We’re just not wired to understand that tomor-row will be nothing like today – it looks the same. We wake up, the sun comes up, we eat breakfast and go to work, but all around us technological progress is accelerating at a fierce pace.
Man-Machine Partnerships First
If you move numbers from one cell in Excel to another for a living, or if you move markers on a Gantt chart to track production progress and manage projects, you’ve probably created some mac-ros to help minimize the tediousness of your job. In
practice, you’ve already cre-ated a man-machine part-nership. If you’re great at it, you may be more productive than other people who com-pete with you. Efficient man-machine partnerships are “the” key component to mod-ern productivity. If you’re bet-ter using your tools, you will almost always be better than your competition.
Interpretation and AnalysisWhile it’s tedious to move
numbers from box to box, the reason you do it is so that you (or someone else) can analyze and interpret their meaning. This may be done with some
automation, but people usu-ally add human narrative that adds understandable causality to the data – for example: “We sold more of the blue widgets this season because the top quintile of two-headed Martians think they complement their green eyes.” Of course, you only need causality and human narrative if humans are need-ed to make the data action-able. If computers are going to make the data actionable, a human narrative is mean-ingless.
What You Can Do to Save Yourself
First, technological prog-ress is neither good nor bad; it just is. There’s no point in worrying about it, and there is certainly no point trying to add some narrative about the “good ol’ days.” It won’t help anyone. The good news is that we know what’s coming. All we have to do is adapt.
Adapting to this change is going to require us to un-derstand how man-machine partnerships are going to evolve. This is tricky, but not
impossible. We know that machine learning is going to be used to automate many, if not most, low-level cognitive tasks. Our goal is to use our high-level cognitive ability to anticipate what parts of our work will be fully automated and what parts of our work will be so hard for machines to do that man-machine partnership is the most prac-tical approach.
With that strategy, we can work on adapting our skills to become better than our peers at leveraging man-machine partnerships. We’ve always been tool-users; now we will become tool-partners.
Where Does This Ultimately Lead?
Uber drivers will ultimately be replaced by self-driving cars. You will press a button, the car will show up, and it will take you where you want to go. What will drivers do then? Hold on – that’s not go-ing to happen for a hundred years! Maybe, but I’ve got some lily pads that beg to dif-fer with you.
