SUPERVISOR DAVE CORTESE

Last year, there were 26 fa-talities involving pedestrians and bicyclists in San Jose, and there have been 16 so far this year. Almost all of them were on major roads and at busy intersections, and some near schools.

Even one fatality is too

many, especially when we have the resources to make our walkways safer.

So in September, the Hous-ing, Land Use, Environment and Transportation Com-mittee that I chair voted to recommend that Santa Clara County spend its reserve of $389,980 on deploying crossing guards or installing safety devices at intersec-tions that we think are the most dangerous for pedestri-ans and bicyclists. Supervi-sor Mike Wasserman, who is also on this committee, gave his approval.

Since 2001, the County has contracted with San Jose and Cupertino to provide crossing guards near schools in Cupertino and the Bur-bank and Alum Rock areas of San Jose. The County pays about $79,000 a year for this service.

At my request, the Roads

and Airports Department

is studying other “hot spots” that might warrant extra protection. The department is studying 22 intersections at County Expressways and Monterey Highway that might warrant extra mea-sures to protect pedestrians in unincorporated areas that straddle a County Express-way.

Besides the analysis to de-

termine intersections that would benefit from crossing guards, the Department is looking into an automatic pedestrian detection system that could be used at express-way intersections. This tech-nology, which costs about $35,000 per intersection to implement, will detect pe-destrians in a crosswalk and automatically adjust the sig-nal timing to give them more time to cross.

The next report on these safety measures will be the HLUET Committee’s meet-ing at 10 a.m. on Thursday, November 20, in the Board of Supervisors’ Chambers at the County Government Center, 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose.

The County contracts with

the City of San Jose to staff crossing guards at 11 ex-pressway intersections where children must cross to get to school. Even though express-ways have traffic signals at intersections, the width of the roads and the heavy traffic volumes may qualify them for added protection for pedestrians. The County operates eight expressways: Almaden, Capitol, Central, Foothill, Lawrence, Mon-tague, Oregon and San To-mas.

Though San Jose has the highest fatality rate in the County, the study is looking at all our Expressways. To view a list on your computer, type in this address:http://bit.ly/1rBuOqM, and then let me know what you think about safety at these in-tersections or if there are

others you are concerned about. And in the meantime, you can also find some tips on bicycle and pedestrian safety on this County web-page, www.sccphd.org/traf-fic.For questions on any top-ic, please contact my office at 408-299-5030 or email me at dave.cortese@aol.com.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com 3OPINIONOCTOBER 17-23, 2014

JANET MURGUIA, PRESIDENT & CEO,

NATIONAL CONCILIO DE LA RAZA (NCLR)

All elections matter. This No-vember 4, 2014, Americans will choose governors in 36 states, elect the entire House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate, select a great ma-jority of the state legislatures, and decide who will represent them in hundreds of local elections. The decisions these officials make will impact the lives of Latinos across the country on issues ranging from the quality of our chil-dren’s education to the abil-

ity of families to access health care, obtain quality jobs, own their own homes, and pursue the AMERICAN DREAM. Here are the five reasons Lati-nos should vote in November:

REASON #1: (AVAILABLE HEALTH CARE INSUR-ANCE) Millions of Latinos still lack health insurance. Health care reform created a historic opportunity to extend health (insurance) coverage to millions of Latinos, but fully realizing the potential of the Afffordable Care Act 2010 (ObamaCare) will require greater actions from state of-ficals. Helping Latinos obtain health insurance will depend upon electing state leaders committed to the health of the Hispanic community.

REASON #2: (A LIVING WAGE SCALE) Latino work-ers need a raise. Forty-three per cent of Latino workers live on poverty-level wages. The current minimum wage of $7.25 per hour is not enough to keep a single parent with one child out of poverty. Congress has introduced-but has not

yet passed legislation to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 (per hour), which would make it easier for approximately 6.8 (impoverished) millions of Latinos, nearly one-quarter of the Hispanic work force, to take care of their families. Dozens of States are also con-sidering increasing their own minimum wages.

REASON #3: (HOME OWN-ERSHIP; AFFORDABLE HOUSING) Hardworking Hispanic families deserve a chance to own their own homes (which is basic to hav-ing their own wealth and secu-rity in their own home equity). While 65% of all Americans are home owners, fewer than 45% of Hispanics own their own homes. Members of Congress have been debating changes to housing finance laws that could make it easier (or more difficult) for Latinos to get mortgages.

REASON #4: (EDUCATION & JOB SKILLS TRAINING) Latino students deserve bet-ter schools. Hispanic students are more likely than others

to attend schools with fewer resources, less experienced teachers, and lower academic standards. Dozens of States have adopted policies re-quiring that all students be taught to the same rigorous standards, and that schools (and their officials) are held acountable for ensuring stu-dent success. These policies, known as the Common Core State Standards, are heavily criticized by conservative and liberal groups alike. The Com-mon Core represents a unique opportunity to ensure that Latino children are ready for college, career, and life. Elect-ed school board members and state officials will decide whether the new standards are upheld in many areas of the country; they hold the fu-ture of our children in their hands. (As constituents who elected them, you may effec-tively hold them accountable.)

REASON #5: (INACTION ON IMMIGRATION RE-FORM) is devastating Latino communities. Congressional inaction on reform, combined with record-setting deporta-

tions, has torn apart millions of families and devastated the social fabric of American com-munities. Strong Latino (citi-zen) participation in this 2014 election is needed to ensure that Congress finishes the job of enacting Comprehensive Immigraion Reform, or that the President takes executive action to provide relief to our communities. (Especially their homeless families).To change our community and the country for the better, (plan to) vote on Tuesday, No-vember 4, 2014.

ADDITIONAL REASONS (per Publisher Hilbert

Morales):

REASON #6: (COMPRE-HENSIVE IRS TAX RE-FORM) is needed to sunset or eliminate the many forms of subsidies, tax loopholes, and tax avoidance practices which end up burdening those who earn less than $250,000 per year.

REASON #7: (EDUCATION FUNDING REFORM) at lo-cal, state, and federal levels

must ensure that all educa-tion from pre-K-12 is equita-bly funded. The nation’s De-partment of Education to be responsible for enforcement/establishment of national standards for curriculum and staffing; State Office of Education to be responsible for ensuring the training of teachers and administrators, and elimination of all waste-ful practices in local educa-tion jurisdictions such as top-heavy administrations, and having local elected school boards which are oriented and informed about their author-ity & responsibility in holding local officials accountable/responsible and which fairly represent their community’s demographics. Our democ-racy requires educated and well informed citizens who effectively participate in all governance matters and who require all processes to be transparent. DEMOCRACY REQUIRES EDUCATED AND INFORMED PARTIC-IPANTS WHO MAKE DE-CISIONS IN THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS.

Libros centrados en trabajo e Hispanos tales como “La-tino Americans” de Ray Su-arez o “Traqueros: Mexican Railroad Workers in the United States” de Jeffrey Marcos Garcilazo, están siendo destacados dentro de la iniciativa de literatura laboral del Departamento de Trabajo de EE.UU. Books that Shaped Work in Amer-ica con motivo del Mes de la Herencia Hispana.

El proyecto busca involu-

crar al público en la misión del Departamento de Traba-jo y en la historia de América como nación de trabajadores mediante un compendio de obras literarias pertinentes y alusivas a la materia. La iniciativa sirve a manera de biblioteca online donde todo tipo de personas pueden

compartir libros que les han informado sobre ocupacio-nes y carreras, que les han ayudado a moldear su visión sobre el trabajo y que elevan la conversación sobre traba-jo, trabajadores y lugares de empleo.

“El proyecto Books that

Shaped Work in America re-flexiona sobre la promesa de oportunidad para todos los trabajadores”, dijo Carl Fil-lichio, principal asesor de co-municaciones e información pública del Departamento. “Para la realización de esta promesa es que celebramos y reconocemos las contribu-ciones que los trabajadores Hispanos han hecho desde un primer momento para el éxito de nuestro país”.Las nuevas incorporaciones a la lista, incluidos “From Cov-

eralls to Zoot Suits” de Eliza-beth R. Escobedo, y “The Power of Latino Leadership” de Juana Borda, elogian el papel de los trabajadores Hispanos en la construcción de nuestra nación.

Estos libros buscan que se reconozca a los trabajadores Hispanos como miembros importantes de la fuerza laboral y abogan por la pros-peridad de todos los traba-jadores. Por ejemplo, la obra “Working in the Shadows”, de Gabriel Thompson, revela un lado pocas veces visto y ampliamente ignorado de la economía Americana; uno donde trabajadores agríco-las Hispanos están sujetos a condiciones peligrosas y ex-puestos a fuertes labores físi-camente debilitantes y cuyos frutos son degustados por la

Undocumented UC stu-dents who qualify for in-state tuition, but are ineligible for federal assistance, soon will be able to borrow up to $4,000 a year to make up the shortfall, thanks to a new law supported by the University of California and state legisla-tors.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislative bill SB 1210 last week, creating the new Cali-fornia DREAM Loan Pro-gram. The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Ricardo Lara, and supported by both UC and the California State Uni-versity system.

“Giving undocumented stu-dents the same access to fi-nancial aid as other students can improve their chances of academic success, and help them reach their dream of a college degree and a brighter future,” said UC President Ja-net Napolitano. “By investing in our students, we are invest-ing in California.”

About 2,000 undocument-ed undergraduate students are enrolled at UC. They

typically are the first in their families to attend college and come from low-income households.

Under existing state law, undocumented students who graduate from a California high school and meet other eligibility requirements un-der the California Dream Act, can pay in-state tuition at UC and CSU, and are eli-gible for state and university financial aid. But they do not qualify for federal assistance, and that lack of eligibility for federally sponsored financial aid virtually eliminates their access to student loans.

The California DREAM Loan Program aims to close that gap. It establishes cam-pus loan programs at UC and

CSU that allow undocument-ed students to borrow up to $4,000 per academic year, with a maximum of $20,000 from any one campus.

Repaid loans will go back into the pool for future loans, eventually creating a self-sus-taining program with income from the repayment of prin-cipal, interest and fees offset-ting administrative costs.

The first-year cost for the state and UC is an estimated $3.1 million each, starting in the 2015-16 fiscal year, and $3.6 million the following year. That amount eventu-ally would decline until the program becomes self-sup-porting.

A DREAM loan program could affect the 2,000 undocumented stu-dents in the UC system

Si no le preocupa el robo de identidad, seguramente vive debajo de una piedra. Al parecer, mes por medio es-cuchamos noticias sobre una violación masiva de datos en alguna parte del mundo.

Como era de esperarse, una pujante industria ha surgido para proteger a los consumi-dores contra el robo de iden-tidad. La mayoría de estos servicios son bastante caros y muchas organizaciones de-fensoras del consumidor sos-tienen que no hacen más de lo que fácilmente podemos hac-er nosotros mismos en forma gratuita. Pero si usted no tiene el tiempo o los medios, tal vez desee contratar a un profe-sional que lo ayude.

Estos son algunos de los ser-vicios de prevención de robo de identidad que se ofrecen y algunas preguntas que debe

hacerse antes de contratarlos:El seguro contra el robo de

identidad se suele ofrecer como un adicional en los se-guros de propietarios o inqui-linos y suelen costar entre $25 y $60 por año. Nota: no evita que le ocurra, en primer lugar, ni tampoco cubre las pérdidas monetarias directas provoca-das por el robo de identidad, sino que simplemente le re-embolsa los costos asociados con el reclamo de su identidad financiera (ej. llamadas tele-fónicas, fotocopias, envío de documentos por correo, lucro cesante por resolver el caso y la contratación de un abogado).

Preguntas que debe hacerse: * ¿Cuáles son los límites de la

póliza? * ¿Hay deducibles? * Si cubre el lucro cesante,

¿qué límites se aplican y qué dispara la cobertura?

* Si cubre los honorarios le-gales, ¿qué límites se aplican? ¿la aseguradora debe pre-aprobar el trabajo?

* ¿Cuánta asistencia person-

alizada tendrá? ¿Le asignarán a alguien que siga su caso y lo represente o simplemente le darán una lista de cosas que debe hacer?

Los servicios de monitoreo de crédito rastrean sus in-formes crediticios y se con-tactan con usted cuando de-tectan cambios importantes –cuentas nuevas abiertas a su nombre, cambios de do-micilio, consultas de crédito y aumento de los límites de crédito. Suelen costar entre $10 y $30 por mes y los ser-vicios que ofrecen son muy variados. Por ejemplo:

* Algunos monitorean y of-recen los informes de crédito de las tres agencias crediticias principales, pero otros solo monitorean a una sola.

* Los planes más caros ofre-cen servicios adicionales que incluyen el monitoreo de reg-istros públicos, inspección de sitios web del mercado negro y programas de protección in-formática como software anti-

virus y cifrado de pulsaciones de teclas.

* Algunos ofrecen una o más calificaciones crediticias gratis (o a bajo costo).

Cuando piense en contratar el monitoreo de crédito, tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:

* Muchos acreedores re-portan información a las tres agencias crediticias princi-pales, pero algunos solo repor-tan a una, por lo que sus tres informes pueden contener información diferente.

* Como muchos prestamis-

tas solo reportan a las agencias de crédito una vez por mes, su servicio de monitoreo podría tardar varias semanas en de-tectar conductas fraudulentas.

* Averigüe cómo le notifi-carán los cambios sospecho-sos (por correo electrónico, mensaje de texto y/o correo) y con qué frecuencia (a dia-rio, semanalmente, mensual-mente).

* Puede solicitar una copia gratuita de cada informe cred-iticio en www.annualcreditre-port.com por año. De esta manera, si los va intercalando, podría tener un informe dife-rente cada cuatro meses.

Si sabe, o teme, que alguna cuenta suya pueda estar com-prometida pero no quiere bloquear totalmente el acceso a sus informes crediticios a través de un congelamiento de crédito, puede colocar en forma gratuita una alerta de fraude inicial por 90 días en las tres agencias crediticias.

Esto hará que las empresas deban verificar su identidad con usted antes de abrir cuen-tas nuevas.

Puede renovar la alerta después de los 90 días. Si no quiere molestarse en recor-darlo, algunos servicios de monitoreo la pueden renovar por usted cobrándole un car-go.

Para más consejos, consulte la página de “Privacidad e Identidad” de la Comisión Federal de Comercio www.consumer.ftc.gov/topics/pri-vacy-identity.

En resumen: ¿Desea moni-torear su propio crédito (que es gratis pero lleva tiempo) o quiere delegar esta tarea en un tercero pagando cientos de dólares? De cualquiera de las dos formas, asegúrese de hacerlo.

Cultural appropriation and various forms of blackface are usually what’s dredged up from the place of all things offensive and tacky for Hal-loween, but this year’s Ebola outbreak seems to be attract-ing the attention of trick-or-treaters looking to up their game when it comes to the distasteful.

According to the Associated Press, fake protective gear like hazmat suits and respi-rators is all the rage on social media, particularly Twitter, and the specter of partygoers dressed as Ebola zombies for Halloween is rubbing some the wrong way.

The deadly virus, which has killed more than 4,000 in West Africa, recently made its way to the U.S. through now-deceased patient Thom-as Eric Duncan. It is believed that Duncan, a Liberian resi-dent, contracted the disease while helping a neighbor. He

then made the trek from Li-beria to visit family in Dallas, where he became ill. After Duncan’s death, it was dis-covered that a Dallas nurse who had treated him was di-agnosed with the disease.

“Normally I think that irony and humor is funny, but this thing with the costumes, is it really that funny? I mean, Ebola’s not even under con-trol yet,” Philadelphia physi-cian’s assistant Maria McK-enna told AP, adding that the idea “definitely rubs [her] the wrong way.”

According to the news wire, after many Halloween cel-ebrants got over last year’s significantly less inflamma-tory Breaking Bad meth-lab phase, retailers had tons of hazmat-style costumes that could be “repurposed” for Ebola-themed costumes. However, the news wire says it’s still not clear that this will actually be a thing.

“I wouldn’t say we can see an uptick in sales. I’d say it’s still

chugging along because it’s a good seller no matter what,” Richard Parrott, president of costume seller Ricky’s NYC, told AP regarding sales of Breaking Bad outfits. “But people are definitely asking about an Ebola-type cos-tume.”

Parrott acknowledges that the retailer had considered selling an Ebola costume and donating some of the pro-ceeds toward finding a cure, but in the end it was decided that “it probably crosses a line that we don’t want to cross,” he said.

However, according to AP, such concerns did not deter costume seller Brands on Sale, which peddles the “Eb-ola Containment Suit Cos-tume” online for $79.99.

“You are sure to be prepared if any outbreak happens at your Halloween party. This will literally be the most ‘viral’ costume of the year,” the de-scription raves.

Los Institutos Nacionales de la Salud (NIH, por sus siglas en inglés) y grupos médicos destacados tienen noticias importantes para las futu-ras mamás. Un embarazo no está a “término completo” hasta las 39 semanas. Las investigaciones muestran que dar a luz entre las 39 ó 40 semanas es lo mejor para su bebé.

Nuevas definicionesPor definición, los bebés nac-idos entre las 37 y 42 sema-nas se consideran bebés “a té-rmino”. Sin embargo, debido a riesgos de salud para los bebés nacidos antes de las 39 semanas, los NIH apoyan las nuevas definiciones de parto entre las 37 y 42 semanas.

• Término temprano: bebés nacidos entre las 37 y 38 se-manas.

• Término completo: bebés

nacidos entre las 39 y 40 se-manas.

• Término tardío: bebés nac-idos en la semana 41.

• Postérmino: bebés nacidos en la semana 42 o más adel-ante.

¿ Por qué es importante?Las últimas semanas del embarazo hacen la diferen-cia en la salud del bebé. Los bebés nacidos antes de las 39 semanas tienen mayores posibilidades de ser transfe-ridos a la Unidad de Cuida-dos Intensivos Neonatales (NICU, por sus siglas en inglés) y de tener problemas para respirar, comer o con-trolar su temperatura. Tam-bién pueden tener un mayor riesgo de tener problemas de aprendizaje y dificultades en la visión y la audición.

Lo que significa para usted

Esperar dar a luz hasta al

menos las 39 semanas, en un embarazo saludable, da a su bebé el tiempo necesa-rio para crecer. Durante las semanas 37 y 38, el cerebro forma las conexiones que serán importantes para la coordinación, el movimiento y el aprendizaje. El desarrollo de los pulmones, el hígado y el cerebro también es impor-tante durante las últimas se-manas del embarazo.

First Detection of Insect in Santa Clara County

SANTA CLARA COUNTY

The Santa Clara County Ag-ricultural Commissioner, in cooperation with the Califor-nia Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is be-ginning an extensive survey in response to the detection of Asian citrus psyllids (ACP) in the City of San Jose near Kelly Park. This is the first detec-tion of ACP in Santa Clara County and the Bay Area.

The ACP were detected in

a residential neighborhood near Phelan Avenue and Roberts Avenue in San Jose. Treatment activities will be

carried out on all citrus plants surrounding the sites where the insects were trapped. Residents in the treatment area will be notified in ad-vance of any activity. Addi-tionally, an increased number of traps have been deployed and a visual survey is ongoing on the surrounding proper-ties in an attempt to deter-mine if there is an infestation.

“The Asian citrus psyllid is

a dangerous pest of citrus,” said Joe Deviney, Santa Clara

County Agricultural Com-missioner. “We’re working to determine the full extent of this infestation so that we can protect our state’s vital citrus industry as well as our back-yard citrus trees. We want to emphasize citrus is safe to eat and the disease is not harm-ful to human health. Work-ing together we can prevent the harm this invasive species can cause.”

The ACP is an invasive spe-

cies of grave concern because it can carry the disease huan-glongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening. All citrus and closely related species are susceptible hosts for both the insect and the disease. There is no cure once a tree becomes infected. The diseased tree will decline in health and pro-duce bitter, misshaped fruit until it dies. HLB has been detected just once in Califor-

nia – in 2012 on a single resi-dential property in Hacienda Heights, Los Angeles County. HLB is present in Mexico and in parts of the southern U.S. Florida first detected ACP in 1998 and the disease in 2005, and the two have now been detected in all 30 citrus-pro-ducing counties in that state. The University of Florida es-timates the disease has tallied more than 6,600 lost jobs, $1.3 billion in lost revenue to growers and $3.6 billion in lost economic activity.

Residents in the area who

think they may have seen the pest are urged to call the Pest Hotline at 1-800-491-1899. For more information on the Asian citrus psyllid and huanglongbing disease, please visit:

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA

With less than three weeks until the November 4th Gen-eral Election, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters’ Office is still in need of over 900 people to staff its poll-ing places on Election Day. This election requires staff-ing 834 polling locations in 9 languages throughout the county. Volunteers are paid a stipend of $95.00 or more, and those who are bilingual also earn an extra stipend. Bilingual Election Officers must be fluent in English and one of the following languages: Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, or one of the newly added languages, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, or Korean. Supporting more languages puts the county in need of

more volunteers. In addition to seeking 126 Inspectors and 250 Clerks, the County is still requesting assistance in recruiting over 500 Bilin-gual Election Officers. “We are trying to build part-nerships and serve more communities than ever be-fore, but we need the com-munity’s help. It’s important to make sure that voters who need assistance in one of our languages will have some-one to help them when they go to the polls. If you have ever considered volunteer-ing, now is the time,” said Shannon Bushey, Registrar of Voters. Anyone who can spare a day and would like to participate in the democratic process is encouraged to contact the Registrar of Voters’ Office immediately, as remaining training dates are limited. Election Officers must be ei-

ther registered to vote in the State of California or a legal permanent resident. Ex-perience is not necessary as training is provided. To volunteer to be an Elec-tion Officer, call (408) 299-POLL [7655] or sign up on-line at www.sccvote.org.

SAN JOSÉ

San Jose has experienced a significant decrease in violent gang-related incidents since the beginning of the year.

San Jose Police Depart-

ment data for January to September 2014 shows that violent gang-related inci-dents have dropped over 70 percent since January. The data, available online, will be presented to the Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force on Friday October 24, 2014 at 7:45 a.m. in Committee Room 118 in the San Jose City Hall wing. The meet-ings are open to the public.

San Jose had the lowest rate of violent crimes of big cities (over 500,000 population) in America in 2011 and again in 2012 and the first half of 2013. For property crimes, the City had the sixth-lowest rate among the more than 30 cities with populations of 500,000 or more based on data for the first half of 2013, the most recent Uniform Crime Report data.

According to the report:

•The monthly total for re-ported violent gang-related incidents of all types dropped

from 28 in January to 8 in September.

•Gang-related homicides dropped from 1 in the month of January to 0 in September.

•Gang-related robberies dropped from 8 in January to 1 in September.

•Gang-related aggravated assaults dropped from 19 in January to 7 in September.

•Gang-related rape was at 0 in both months.

Mayor Chuck Reed has released the fol-lowing statement:

“These excellent results are a testament to the hard work of the men and women of the San José Police Depart-ment under the leadership of Chief Larry Esquivel and the many community mem-bers and organizations who make up the Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force. The Department has responded to problems creatively and redeployed resources effec-tively while the Task Force members excel in collabo-rating with our department and are big contributors to

reducing gang related crime. The U.S. Department of Jus-tice has recognized San Jose’s gang prevention program as one of the best in the coun-try. The positive relationship our police department has with our community is what makes our success possible.”

Overall, serious crime has

declined since January 2012The success in reducing

gang crime has contributed to the City’s overall decrease in serious crimes since 2012. San Jose Police Department data for the first half of 2014 shows:

•Total serious crimes of all types dropped by 9.1% from January to June of 2014 (over the same period in 2013). That drop builds on a 10.3% decrease for calendar year 2013.

•Homicides dropped by 20.8% in the first six months of 2014. In 2013, homicides declined by 15.6% over 2012.

•Violent crimes in San José in 2013 were at the second-lowest level in a decade.

A day at Cristo Rey starts off with exercise and food. To prepare the mind and body for the learning and critical thinking process the students undergo, proper activity and energy is needed. This is one of the many distinguishing traits of the Jesuit school,

which opened its doors this year as a college prepara-tory that aligns itself with the underserved communi-ties in San José. The school is one of 28 in the country and was founded in the low in-come hispanic community of Pilsen in Chicago.

Located behind Five Wounds Portuguese National Church

on Santa Clara Street; Cristo Rey is nestled around 17 gang hot spots within that region. Bob Couch, both the Chief Operating Officer of Cristo Rey and Director of its Corporate Work Study Program, describes it as such, “A lot of the kids are coming from a tough background, so their vision of the world is narrow. All of a sudden the

world opens up really wide. The motivation of that work is the thing that is transform-ing in this whole model.” He adds,“We’re focused on ev-erybody. This is a college prep school, so by the time they get out of here, 100% will get into college. So we have a lot of work to do.”

In just five weeks over a year and a half of learning is done through its blended learning, a mix of traditional instruc-tion and cutting edge tech-nology. This is one of the key components, the other being its work program, where the college prep distinguishes it-self.

This hybrid model is an as-set according to the princi-pal of Cristo Rey, Joe Albers. “We don’t want to pull that environment away, because then when they get to college, they’re going to be in that en-vironment where you want them to be able to do both, be able to go between both worlds.”

Math teacher Jessica Flores, one of the 5 instructors at Cristo Rey, worked through the summer to prepare the school for its blended learn-ing curriculum. “As soon as they walk in, every student is on their own pace.” All these students need to work on a common topic, so they get split into groups based on those shared learning topics.

The first ten minutes is teach-er instructed word problems,

to practice literacy skills, then its off to the chromebook lap-tops that the school provides to every student.

For math, an online learn-ing program called ALEKS allows Flores to monitor the students and entire class’ progress (Akin to something like the Khan academy). In Flores’ case, 134 students are seen on the ALEKS site to see what percentile have ac-complished certain tasks or mastered lessons. “From my computer I can watch what they’re doing.”

Rev. Peter Pabst, the presi-dent of Cristo Rey, knows that the work program is as essential to learning as the fluidity of its student paced blended learning. “Each stu-dent is required to work in an entry level white collar position. We have 31 different corporate sponsors who are offering jobs to our kids. They pay $29,000 for the work of a team of 4 students who work for them for about 40 weeks.”

This is equivalent to a full-time employment position (FTE), which allows the children to work one day a week and go to school the other four. “Nationally, this program brings in over 40 million dollars to help cut the cost of the tuition (it covers about half the cost of tuition). Parents will pay maybe ten percent. Maybe even a little less.”

The affirmation that the work program is successful for both contributor and student lies in what Pabst has seen so far. “The kids have great jobs, they love doing them. They work at Cisco, Adobe, they work at law firms and ac-counting firms. So they’re do-ing lots of different jobs, and the people in the community like them.”

Two of these students are Juan Rodriguez and Aylin Ortega, who were eager to acknowledge the merits of Cristo Rey. Juan works at Catholic Charities helping with different supervisors within the office. Aylin works at De Anza Properties and reports her experiences have been nothing but positive. Juan described his decision to come to Cristo Rey as such, “My mom thought it was a re-ally good opportunity for me because the schools around where I live weren’t really that good. My cousins would go there but not really learn much. And I think she was right.”

They both agreed on a specif-ic point: what they’ve learned here at Cristo Rey within the last two months is what they believe they’d learn in a whole year at another high school. Aylin best summed it up, “don’t give up. Right now it may seem hard but with Cristo Rey you’ll end up with a good future. If you work hard, the future may be even easier.”

¡VivaFest! Será Anfitrión de

Evento Gratuito para Promover Autos Eléctricos

Los participantes en la cele-bración del Día de los Muer-tos de ¡VivaFest! el 25 de octubre tendrán la oportuni-dad de conducir algunos de los últimos modelos en au-tomóviles eléctricos en Saint James Park en San José. La campaña La Experiencia Eléctrica—El Mejor Manejo ofrecerá pruebas de manejo gratuitas de 12 a cinco de la tarde.

El evento de automóviles eléctricos contará con la par-ticipación de los modelos i3 de la marca BMW, el Volt y el Spark de Chevy, el EV de smart y tres de los modelos de Ford, el C-MAX Energi, el Fusion Energi y el Focus Eléctrico. Los conductores con licencia de conducir po-

drán manejarlos vehículos y podrán sentir la diferencia entre manejar con electric-idad y manejar con gasolina. Los conductores partici-pantes recibirán un par de lentes de sol de la campaña gratis.

“Hacer una prueba de mane-jo en una agencia de autos puede ser intimidante, pero en nuestros eventos no hay ninguna presión de compra,” dijo Jordan DiGiorgio, la ad-ministradora de la campaña. “La mayoría de la gente ha visto un auto eléctrico en la calle o en comerciales, pero esta es su oportunidad de manejar uno y conocer la ex-periencia eléctrica.”

Las pruebas de manejo son parte de la 23a festividad anual del Mexican Heri-tage and Mariachi Festival TM de ¡VivaFest!, una cel-ebración de la cultura y el corazón musical de México y el espíritu Latino en San José y el Área de la Bahía patro-cinado por el Mexican Heri-tage Corporation. El evento

del Día de los Muertos es una celebración familiar con música, una exposición de arte, comida y diversión.

La campaña La Experien-cia Eléctrica es una inicia-tiva colectiva de la Comisión Metropolitana del Trans-porte (MTC), el Distrito de Administración de la Calidad del Aire y un cons-orcio de organizaciones de automóviles eléctricos que incluye al Center for Sustain-able Energy, Plug In America y Charge Across Town.

La meta de la campaña es alentar la compra de autos eléctricos en la región para reducir la contaminación, mejorar la calidad del aire y alcanzar las metas de reducir los gases de efecto inver-nadero que contribuyen al calentamiento global.

California made big news recently when it announced the first statewide ban on plastic shopping bags set to kick in during the middle of 2015. Beginning in July, large grocery stores, pharmacies and other food retailers in the Golden State will no lon-ger be able to send shoppers home with plastic bags, while convenience markets, liquor stores and other small food retailers will join the ranks a year later.

Back in 2007, San Francisco became the first U.S. munici-pality to ban plastic shopping bags. In intervening years upwards of 132 other cities and counties in 18 states and the District of Columbia in-stituted similar measures. Of course, Americans are late to the party when it comes to banning plastic bags: The European Union, China, In-dia and dozens of other na-

tions already have plastic bag bans or taxes in place.

But the trend here toward banning plastic shopping bags comes in the wake of new findings regarding the extent and harm of plastic in our environment. Since plastic isn’t biodegradable, it ends up either in landfills or as litter on the landscape and in waterways and the ocean. Plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose and re-leases toxins into the soil and water in the process.

Littered plastic is also a huge problem for the health of wildlife, as many animals in-gest it thinking it is food and can have problems thereafter breathing and digesting. The non-profit Worldwatch Insti-tute reports that at least 267 species of marine wildlife are known to have suffered from entanglement or inges-tion of marine debris, most of which is composed of plastic;

tens of thousands of whales, birds, seals and turtles die every year from contact with ocean-borne plastic bags. A recent European Commis-sion study on the impact of litter on North Sea wildlife found that some 90 percent of the birds examined had plastic in their stomachs.

Another reason for banning plastic bags is their fossil fuel burden. Plastic is not only made from petroleum—pro-ducing it typically requires a lot of fossil-fuel-derived en-ergy. The fact that Americans throw away some 100 billion plastic grocery bags each year means we are drilling for and importing millions of barrels worth of oil and natural gas for a convenient way to carry home a few groceries.

It’s hard to measure the im-pact of pre-existing plastic bag bans, but some initial findings look promising. A plastic bag tax levied in Ire-

land in 2002 has reportedly led to a 95 percent reduction in plastic bag litter there. And a study by San Jose, California found that a 2011 ban instituted there has led to plastic litter reduction of “approximately 89 percent in the storm drain system, 60 percent in the creeks and rivers, and 59 percent in City streets and neighborhoods.”

Environmental groups con-tinue to push for more plastic bag bans. “As U.S. natural gas production has surged and prices have fallen, the plastics industry is looking to ramp up domestic pro-duction,” reports the Earth Policy Institute. “Yet using this fossil fuel endowment to make something so short-lived, which can blow away at the slightest breeze and pollutes indefinitely, is illogi-cal—particularly when there is a ready alternative: the re-usable bag.”

‣ California became the first state to announce a ban against use of plastic bags in stores by 2015

Los festivales solares o Sab-bats se han venido celebran-do desde épocas remotas, es-pecialmente en las creencias Wicca, religión naturalista que venera a dos divinidades un dios y una diosa quienes representan las energías opu-estas pero complementarias de la naturaleza. La luna y el sol son representaciones de ambos dioses que gobier-nan lo masculino y femenino presentes en la tierra y el uni-verso. Los ocho festivales en-cierran en sí fechas místicas y rituales que marcan inicios y finales de una temporada en particular. Según estas creencias durante estos festi-vales se pueden realizar ritu-ales mágicos, limpias espiri-tuales y todo tipo de ofrendas religiosas con el propósito de atraer fortaleza, buena salud, longevidad, amor y buena suerte.

Samhain el primer festival solar tiene lugar el último día del mes de octubre, en esa fecha se recuerda a los que ya no habitan la tierra, los espíritus protectores y los ancestros. La noche comien-za a ser más larga que el día. Este festival es mayormente

conocido como Halloween o noche de brujas.

Yule el segundo festival se celebra el día veintiuno de diciembre, fecha en la que se conmemora el renacimiento del dios a través de la dio-sa. Se festeja una época de nacimientos divinos, coin-cide con la temporada de la Navidad.

Imbolc el tercer festival se conmemora alrededor del dos de febrero, en este día se celebra la recuperación de la diosa después de haberle dado vida al dios. Simbóli-camente la diosa representa la esposa y la madre del dios. Esta fecha también se conoce como fiesta de las antorchas y día de la Candelaria.

Ostara el cuarto festival se observa el día veintiuno de marzo primer día de primav-era. En esta fecha se remem-ora el despertar, reverdecer y florecer de la tierra. Tempo-rada que marca los inicios rituales. El día y la noche tienen la misma duración.

Beltane el quinto festival se realiza alrededor del treinta de abril, se venera al Dios joven que se hace hombre quien junto a su consorte

divina crean la abundancia y el esplendor de la naturaleza. También se conoce este festi-val como Belotenia.

Medio Verano el sexto festi-val se lleva a cabo alrededor del veintiuno de junio. Se festeja a la madre natura-leza que alcanza su máxima expresión al manifestar la plenitud que simboliza a ambos dioses. En esta época el día se hace más largo y la noche más corta.

Lughnasadah el penúltimo festival tiene como día de cel-ebración el primero de agos-to. En esa época se comienza a recoger las cosechas, sim-bólicamente el dios inicia su ciclo de descanso. En esta temporada se recibe la rec-ompensa del karma. Este festival también es conocido como Lammas.

Mabon el octavo festival es celebrado año con año el vein-tiuno de septiembre. Esta fecha simboliza la segunda cosecha, el dios se despide por un lapso de tiempo y des-cansa hasta su renacimiento cuando inicia el nuevo ciclo. Tiempo de equilibrio vital, el día y la noche vuelven a tener la misma duración

LOS ANGELES

Latino groups from across the nation yesterday announced a mass social media push to en-courage audiences to tune in to the series premiere of ABC comedy ‘Cristela’, which fea-tures a Latina in a leading role, on Friday, October 10 at 8:30 p.m. / 7:30 p.m. central.

‘Cristela’ stars breakout co-

medienne Cristela Alonzo as a law student juggling family pressure, while dealing with an attorney boss who makes offensive remarks. In addi-tion to playing a leading role, Alonzo is also the show’s co-creator, co-executive producer, and writer. ‘Cristela’ also fea-tures a significantly Latino regular cast, which includes Carlos Ponce, Maria Canals-Barrera, and Terri Hoyos; as well as guest stars Gabriel Igle-sias, Bridget Barrera and Mat-thew Velasquez.

The groups and websites par-

ticipating in the national push to support ‘Cristela’ include: the National Hispanic Leader-ship Agenda, California Latino Legislative Caucus, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, National Association of Latino Indepen-dent Producers, Latina Rebel, Latino Print Network, Latino Literacy, Latinheat.com, Get Wise Latinas, Humani.TV Es-pañol, Million Latina March, MountainTop Speakers , Na-tional Hispanic Media Coali-tion, Nosotros, Remezcla.com,

RiseUp Leadership, Latina Lotteria, and UpLatino.com.

The national push has been

organized by the Latino Pre-miere Club, a partnership between the National His-panic Media Coalition and LatinHeat Media Institute. The Latino Premiere Club is a membership organization whose goal is to give Latinos a voice on upcoming film and television projects that tell La-tino stories and/or employ La-tinos in front and behind the camera.

Advocates say the show’s suc-

cess can lead to more Latinos included in positive and multi-dimensional roles on televi-sion.

matters, because the way we are perceived is the way we will be treated in our society,” stated Alex Nogales, president and CEO of the National His-panic Media Coalition. “As La-tinos, we have an opportunity to make a national impact by tuning in to ‘Cristela’. It’s time for television to reflect the real-ity that Latinos are an integral part of the American social fabric.”

On October 2, the National

Hispanic Leadership Agenda, a coalition of 39 national La-tino organizations, unani-mously voted to endorse and promote ‘Cristela’s’ premiere.

“Hollywood understands the

numbers are there. With this

push we can actually show the impact the Latino community has when we come together,” said Bel Hernandez, executive director of LatinHeat Media Institute. “Be loud and clear about your support, be part of the wave that will finally show Hollywood the power of our community!”

The nation’s large and fast-

growing Latino community, which makes up more than 17 percent of the United States population, and whose pur-chasing power is estimated to reach $1.5 trillion by 2015, is among the biggest consum-ers of television. Yet Latinos remain underrepresented in television, both on-screen as well as behind the camera.

The underrepresentation and

stereotypical portrayals of La-tinos in media fuels prejudices and misconceptions about Latinos among non-Latinos, according to studies commis-sioned by the National His-panic Media Coalition in 2012. Among the findings: one-third of non-Latinos inaccurately believed that more than one-half of Latinos were undocu-mented; and 47 percent re-ported hardly seeing Latinos in roles as attorneys, judges, doctors or nurses in television or film.

The support for the Latino-Oriented show “Cristela” has been almost universal

CW

Based on the telenovela Juana La Virgen, “Jane the Virgin” follows 23-year-old Jane Vil-lanueva (played by Gina Rodri-guez). When Jane Villanueva was a young girl, her grand-mother, Alba, convinced her of two things: telenovelas are the highest form of entertainment, and women must protect their virginity at all costs. Jane is a driven young woman studying to become a teacher, nursing a dream to be a writer, and sup-porting herself with a job at a

hot new Miami hotel. She has a wonderful fiancé — a hand-some, hard-working detective named Michael — who loves her enough to accept her de-tailed timeline for their future together and even her insis-

tence on “saving herself” until they’re married.

But Jane’s world is suddenly turned upside down when she goes to see her doctor for a rou-tine check-up and is acciden-tally artificially inseminated with a specimen meant for the patient in the next room.Cast includes Jaime Camil, Gina Rodriguez, Andrea Navedo, Ivonne Coll & Justin Baldoni with guest stars guest stars Juanes & Paulina Rubio and shows on the CW network on Monday nights at 9m.

El tecladista Randolph Isaiah Owens, de 39 años, quien formaba parte de la banda Jack White, fue en-contrado muerto en la hab-itación de un hotel de esta ciudad.

De acuerdo con el servi-cio de emergencias del mu-nicipio, los trabajadores de limpieza del Hotel Camino Real, ubicado en la zona de Angelópolis, reportaron a las autoridades el hallazgo de un masculino sin signos de vida.

En entrevista telefónica, señalaron que cuerpos de auxilio acudieron a la hab-itación 1306 de dicho lugar,

donde confirmaron que el hombre de 39 años, huésped del hotel, pereció tras un problema de broncoaspi-ración, por lo que acudió el agente del Ministerio Públi-co para el levantamiento del cadáver.

Las primeras versiones señalan que la causa del de-ceso pudo haber sido por consumo excesivo de alcohol por parte del músico, quien se encontraba en Puebla tras la presentación que tuvo la víspera en el Centro

Expositor y de Convencio-nes. De manera extraoficial trascendió que en la habit-ación donde estaba alojado también se halló mariguana.

Jack White y su banda, luego de participar en el Co-rona Capital en la Ciudad de México, se trasladaron a la capital poblana para cumplir con su presentación, y este martes tendrían una actu-ación más en Monterrey, y mañana en Guadalajara, mismas que fueron cancel-adas.

Las entradas para ver y es-cuchar al intérprete mexicano Luis Miguel están práctica-mente agotadas, según in-formó hoy la organizadora de sus cuatro conciertos en Chile, Fénix Entertainment Group.

La empresa dijo que espera completar los 33 mil especta-dores en el MoviStar Arena, en las presentaciones que se inician este miércoles 15, y se prolongarán hasta el viernes 17. sin contar con el público que lo irá a ver el sábado 18 en Viña del Mar.

Los conciertos, según el dia-rio on line “La Tercera.com”, reiterarán “la fórmula con que Luis Miguel eterniza su do-minio en Chile”.

“Su último single (sencillo) ‘Deja vu’ -una vuelta a ese pop de aroma playero y saturado de bronces-, se lanzó en septiem-bre y ya se sitúa entre los 15 ‘tracks’ latinos con mayor ro-tación radial”, anotó la crónica.

Según Monitec, empresa que sondea la medición de can-ciones en toda la región, en el último mes hay un total de 44 temas del intérprete sonando en emisoras nacionales.

“La gente que lo sigue espera que haga su repertorio con la elegancia acostumbrada”, se-ñaló Pablo Aguilera, director y conductor de radio Pudahuel.

“Si se atreviera a hacer algo distinto, simplemente lo matan”, apuntó. Por eso, “no sólo su fórmula se ha eterni-zado, también lo ha hecho su

éxito. Tiene una facha privile-giada que lo ha acompañado desde niño y una cualidad interpretativa fantástica”, dijo Marcelo Contreras, crítico de música de “La Tercera”.

Para Melisa Campbell, direc-tora de FM Dos, la clave está en que, a diferencia de coetáneos como Chayanne, “Luismi” siempre ha ejercido control absoluto sobre cada uno de sus discos y conciertos, anota la crónica.

“Siempre ha trabajado de manera impecable la inter-pretación de cada una de sus creaciones. Y es un artista pre-ocupado por cada una de las aristas de su música, desde los arreglos y la puesta en escena, hasta la producción de los ál-bumes”, comentó Aguilera.

Luis Miguel ha vendido 2.5 millones de copias, convirtié-ndose en el artista que más discos ha comercializado en la historia en el país y su tra-bajo es el origen del histórico reinado de la balada, más que cualquier otro género, en la fa-naticada local.

Por otro lado, desde Fénix agregaron que para este paso por la capital, trae un montaje de 30 toneladas, donde desta-can las pantallas led y un set de luces.

‣ Casi 33 mil especta-dores llenaran los shows de Luis Miguel en Chile

(a. usted como individuo) WARNING – IMPORTANT INFORMA-TION

WARNING: California law provides that, for purposes of division of prop-erty upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divide, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e. joint tenancy, tenants in common, or com-munity property) will be controlling, and not the community property presump-tion. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property pre-sumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

STANDARD FAMILY LAW RE-STRAINING ORDERS

Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are re-strained from

3.Transferring, encumbering, hypoth-ecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessi-ties of life; and

4.Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any pro-posed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incur-

ring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraor-dinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. How-ever you may use community property, quasi-community property, or you own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.

4.Crear o modificar una transferen-cia no testamentaria de manera que afecte el destino de una propiedad sujeta a transferencia, sin el consen-timiento por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte.

San Jose CALIFORNIA

San Jose Earthquakes sea-son ticket holders will have the opportunity to personal-ize their passion for the club next season. Throughout the month of August in 2015, they will be given the oppor-tunity to have their images printed within the numbers on the back of player jerseys.

All Earthquakes season ticket holders who have paid in full by January 1 will be eligible for this unique op-portunity. Each account will have a limit of one image per jersey. Fans will have access to the promotion through a portal on the club’s website. Those season ticket holders will then be able to select the number (0-9) and the loca-tion within that number - similar to selecting a seat for air travel - and upload their picture.

MLS clubs will wear these special numbers for all regu-lar season games during

the month of August 2015. All jerseys - home, road and alternate - will feature the numbers. Fans will have the opportunity to customize jerseys and additional mer-chandise with these special numbers at their club’s offi-cial stadium store.

MLS will be the first league to utilize this platform, which is provided by Playing2. The Mexican National Team, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are among several teams in other countries that have used this platform to bring their fans closer to the game.

NOTIMEX

El equipo Real Madrid re-alizó su segunda sesión de entrenamiento de la semana sin la presencia de los inter-nacionales, quienes se es-tarán reincorporando este miércoles, incluyendo al mexicano Javier “Chicharito” Hernández.

Mientras tanto, los españoles José Ignacio “Nacho” Igle-sias, Álvaro Arbeloa, Asier Illarramendi y el brasileño Marcelo Vieira del primer equipo se ejercitaron en com-pañía de los elementos de la filial Castilla.

El defensa Fábio Coentrão, quien estuvo realizando ejer-cicio en solitario el lunes pas-ado, ya se pudo reincorporar

a la dinámica con el resto de los integrantes disponibles. La práctica se llevó a cabo en el campo 3 de la Ciudad Real Madrid y consistió en calentamiento, así como varias series de ejercicios de control, conducción y pases de balón.

Este martes algunos juga-dores estarán disputando partidos pendientes con sus respectivas selecciones, por lo que se espera que para la práctica vespertina del miér-coles se integren.

‣ Aunque ausente en practica, los jugadores internacionales como ‘Chicharito’ regresaran con el equipo en los días que vienen

‣The specialized jerseys will be worn for the month August 2015
