Every Halloween, many people look forward to par-ticipating in “frightful” festivities, such as costume par-ties and contests, but often wait until the last minute to come up with a costume. This usually leaves slim pick-ings at party stores and costume shops or a tossed to-gether look.(Ideas Online at el-observador.com)

OPINION
“A vote is the great equaliz-er, but only when it has been cast”. (source: C. M. Blow, columnist, New York Times).
The most important thing is to actually vote by mail early in privacy away from peer pressure or at your com-munity’s poll which is open from 7 AM to 8 PM on Tues-day, November 4, 2014. Vote, because your vote counts. It reflects your choices based upon your personal goals and values. When taken col-lectively with all votes cast, it forms a valid current state-ment. A consensus, as it were, of your community and its expressed choices. The Reg-istrar of Voters (www.scc.org) and <SmartVoter.org> provide official information on all candidates, measures and propositions.
When a registered voter decides to not vote, then that opportunity to make a difference; to count as a constituent is lost. When very high numbers of regis-tered voters actually votes, it enables the formation of public policy which ‘We the People’ have expressed of-fically. It is true that ‘Your Vote is Your Voice’....so speak up by actually voting. Do not contribute to a low voter turnout because then a non-representative group who did vote, assumes author-ity and power. The low voter participation of 2010 result-ed in the current gridlocked U.S. Congress. Conservatives gained majority of the House of Representatives and had enough votes in the Senate to stop the legislative process which conducted the people’s business. Democracy works
best when the greatest num-ber of citizens register to vote, study the issues being faced and then express their individual opinion by voting. That enables ‘representative governance’. Understand that if ‘you are not represent-ed at the table’, you will be exploited by those who now have authority and power because they were elected by an effective minority repre-senting special interests.
The Hispanic community’s registered voters must VOTE to establish its effective and involved commitment and presence. When Hispanic voters elect officials in their own best interests, then it will be represented directly. “If you are not represented at the table, then you will be on the menu”.
This point is very impor-tant. The City of San Jose is a jurisdiction which is responsible for about $4 billion in annual revenues (your sales taxes, fees, in-come taxes). It is possible on November 4, 2014 for the SJ Hispanic electorate and its allies to responsibly elect three additional ‘Latino rep-resentatives’ to the San Jose City Council: Magdalena Carrasco (already elected to represent District 5); Maya Esparza, (District 7); and Raul Peralez, (District 3). City Council member Rose Herrera will continue to rep-resent District 8.
When Hispanic voters elect Dave Cortese the next Mayor, they can expect to ex-perience a seasoned rational leadership focused upon lo-cal San Jose issues. The mat-ters of ‘disability insurance’ for police and firefighters can be realigned; the City Budget must reflect all debts includ-ing current unfunded pen-sion obligations which need to be humanely and realis-tically resolved. The City of San Jose cannot deliver the required level of public safety
and security needed for fu-ture social and economic growth without having a totally visible, accessible and transparent governance. The usual and customary level of civic services will be enabled. The future stewardship of public revenues must be han-dled with fully responsible & accountable integrity.
Future economic develop-ment must be focused upon small businesses because it is here where creativity, in-novation and insightful de-velopments begin. It is very important to favor the future developments within Silicon Valley by nurturing the small business sector where small inputs may result in very large returns on investments made. Let’s keep in mind that insightful developments happen in the minds of an educated informed person; not in a corporate board room. That is why factual information, education, Arts and cultural perspectives are very important.
“Let’s not mince words here: If the Koch Brothers (and their ilk) are able to buy this year’s midterm election, it will be a DEVASTATING blow for American democ-racy. It’s time to put an end to unfair campaign finance laws that have allowed the ultra-rich to rig our elections” (Source: THE MEMO).
Our democracy is not for sale nor can it become a plu-tacracy (rule by the influen-tial wealthy). The collective action of all voters can neu-tralize all that ‘Dark Money’ that funds propaganda, which misinforms and is divisive. This requires that everyone VOTE. Hispanic voters must do their part re-sponsibly by participating; by voting. Their collective vote is the great social and economic equalizer.
José López ZamoranoLA RED HISPANA
Los avances de nuestra co-munidad latina en Estados Unidos son innegables y son especialmente esperanza-doras las nuevas cifras que documentan una reducción en los niveles de deserción escolar de nuestros jóvenes y un aumento de los niños latinos en educación pre-escolar. Ellos son la semilla de la próxima generación de líderes latinos. Pero subsisten por desgracia datos alarmantes que cobran relevancia en momentos que la nación se apresta a celebrar elecciones legislativas el 4 de noviembre, que son críti-cas no solo para el futuro de nuestra gente en temas pen-dientes como la migración, sino para el bienestar actual de nuestras familias en asun-tos como el salario mínimo y la educación.
Aunque el número de his-panos elegibles para votar asciende a 25.2 millones de adultos, un incremento de 21.3 por ciento respecto del 2010, nuestra tasa de asis-tencia a las urnas es de ape-nas el 31 por ciento, una de las más bajas de la nación, comparada con 49 por ciento de los anglos y 44 por ciento de los afroamericanos. ¿Qué nos pasa? ¿Qué explica la desconexión que perc-iben los hispanos entre la participación cívica y la vida diaria? ¿Acaso no se com-prende a plenitud que las decisiones que tomen el con-greso federal, la legislatura estatal y hasta la junta escolar local pueden afectar nuestras vidas de manera significa-tiva? Una de las razones que ex-plica ese desinterés de los latinos es sin duda la percep-ción que somos usados como pelota de ping-pong por los políticos, que nos cortejan en año electoral y luego nos dejan decepcionados ante la falta de avances concretos. Es fácil decepcionarse y aban-donar la esperanza de que el cambio es posible a través de la participación cívica. El Consejo Nacional de la Raza (NCLR) y otros gru-pos lanzaron iniciativas para registrar a 125,000 latinos y
movilizar a más de un cuarto de millón. Es parte de un es-fuerzo por traducir el poder demográfico latino en poder político. Es un asunto de interés colectivo y de orgullo como la minoría más grande de Estados Unidos que ha contribuido tanto a hacer grande a esta nación. Pero el voto es también la manera más efectiva de mostrar nuestro aprecio ha-cia quienes nos tratan con respeto y dignidad. Y no es tarde. En California, el es-tado con el mayor número de hispanos elegibles para votar, puedes registrarte hasta el 20 de octubre. El 4 de noviembre se juegan no sólo los 435 escaños de la Cámara de Representantes y la tercera parte del Senado, que podría caer en manos de los republicanos. También se eligen legislaturas estatales, juntas escolares y asuntos que van desde salarios hasta la legalización de las drogas. Los hispanos no podemos ausentarnos del momento de las definiciones. No hay excusa ni pretexto. Porque si no votamos, perdemos la au-toridad para quejarnos que las cosas siguen mal, que se-guimos siendo manipulados, ignorados o humillados por los políticos. Para nosotros esta es la hora de la verdad.

Una dura realidad separaba a Ana Maciel de Soledad, California, de su sueño de una educación universitaria: Es una inmigrante indocumen-tada.
Ahora, tan solo unos cuantos años después, la estudiante de tercer año de estudios univer-sitarios vive ese sueño en la Universidad de California en Davis y ha jugado un papel importante en el estableci-miento de un centro para ayu-dar a otros como ella a superar sus obstáculos para acceder a la educación universitaria.
A la vez que se lanza la nueva ley AB540, se abre el Centro de Estudiantes indocumenta-dos en el corazón del campus. Será parte del Centro Comu-nitario Estudiantil y estará abierto a partir del 1 de octu-bre de 1 a 3 de la tarde, y se inaugurará el 21 de octubre de 5 a 6:30 de la tarde.
“Esto significa muchísimo”, dice Maciel, una alumna de tercer año de la carrera uni-versitaria de Estudios chica-nos y Ciencia política. “Sig-nifica que hay un sitio central donde los estudiantes puedan ver que están representados en el campus y que hay otros como ellos”.
La AB540 es una ley estatal de California, aprobada en 2001, que exime a estudiantes de pagar la matrícula univer-sitaria de los que no son resi-dentes (la cual es mucho más cara que la matrícula para residentes), si han asistido a una escuela secundaria de California por al menos tres años, se han graduado de una escuela secundaria de Cali-fornia, y han cumplido otros requisitos.
Darles fuerza
a los alumnos
La ley AB540 y los estudi-antes indocumentados deben tener los servicios de apoyo que necesitan para realizar sus sueños, dijo Adela de la Torre, vicerrectora de Asuntos Estu-diantiles de la UC Davis.
“He visto el estrés innec-esario que estos estudiantes han sentido al tener muchos trabajos a causa de su acceso limitado a ayuda financiera y el aislamiento que han vivido al no encajar en el camino estudiantil más tradicional”, dijo. “Ahora podemos crear un ambiente en el que ya no tengan que enfrentarse a es-tos asuntos solos y tengan el apoyo del campus para lograr su máximo potencial”.
El centro ofrecerá a los estu-diantes indocumentados una comunidad, les coordinará los recursos y les apoyará en su éxito. Andrea Gaytan, antes la sub-directora del Centro Multicultural del campus, es la directora del nuevo centro.
Partiendo de los esfuerzos de los estudiantes a lo largo de los años, Maciel y otros miem-bros de SPEAK (Académicos que promueven la sensibili-zación y el conocimiento de la educación), una organización dirigida por estudiantes que apoya a los estudiantes in-documentados, estuvieron el año pasado redactando una propuesta para el centro y hablando con líderes del cam-pus.
En otoño de 2013, Janet Napolitano, la Presidenta de la UC, anunció oportunda-mente una iniciativa de $5 millones para mejorar los ser-vicios estudiantiles y la ayuda financiera disponible para los estudiantes indocumentados de la UC. La UC Davis recibe $500,000 para atender a sus aproximadamente 200 estu-diantes indocumentados.
Servicios para estudiantes indocumentados
El nuevo centro ofrecerá asesoramiento académico y financiero y acceso a servicios de orientación universitaria.
También abogará por los es-tudiantes indocumentados y concienciará al campus acerca de sus preocupaciones.
Mediante la asociación con la Oficina de Ley de Inmigración de la Facultad de Derecho, el centro ofrecerá servicios lega-les gratis relacionados con la inmigración, incluyendo rep-resentación en el juzgado de inmigración o ante las agen-cias de inmigración, y talleres para preparar solicitudes para la Acción Diferida para los que llegaron a este país como niños y formularios de nacio-nalización entre otros, y asis-tencia con la inmigración.
Gaytan, que empezó en agosto, también fue coordi-nadora de programa para un programa de inglés como se-gundo idioma en la Santa Fe Community College en Nuevo México, enseñó inglés en dos universidades mexicanas e inmersión en inglés en una escuela intermedia de Cali-fornia. Es la directora saliente de la Asociación de Plantilla y Profesores Latinos de UC Davis.
Maciel será la coordinadora académica del centro. Otros tres estudiantes de pre-grad-uado ayudarán con activi-dades de enlace comunitario, retención y marketing. Y dos investigadores pos-graduados ayudarán con defensa política, políticas, y la educación y for-mación de la plantilla.
La ruta a la universidad
Para Maciel, estudiar en una universidad de importancia mundial y ayudar a otros hac-er lo mismo queda muy lejos de su Irapuato nativa, una ciu-dad en el estado mexicano de Guanajuato. Le han dicho que un tío la cruzó por la frontera
en 1997, y su madre cruzó por el desierto. Entre sus recuer-dos de su niñez están los lar-gos viajes a las audiencias de deportación de su madre.
Maciel dijo que siempre le encantó la escuela y quiso asistir a una universidad. Pero cuando su profesor de se-cundaria pidió que los alum-nos trajeran los documentos de sus padres para que pudi-eran solicitar ayuda financiera federal, ella sabía que su fa-milia no los tenía.
Pagar por la educación uni-versitaria de su hija le pare-ció abrumador a una madre soltera con cuatro hijos y que trabajaba en los campos mientras cuidaba a los hijos de otras personas. La madre de Maciel le pudo ayudar durante el primer trimestre. Becas particulares ayudaron también.
En 2013, se le otorgó a Ma-ciel acción diferida para la de-portación de los Estados Uni-dos y permiso de trabajo bajo el programa Acción diferida para individuos que llegaron a este país como niños. Desde entonces, ha trabajado en una tienda de ropa en Salinas y como asistente de investiga-ciones. Este año, además de su trabajo en el centro, también trabajará como consejera aca-démica de otros estudiantes en el Departamento de Estu-dios chicanos.
“Fue un gran alivio”, dijo Ma-ciel. “Sabía que no tendría que pensar en el dinero durante los exámenes finales. Estaba tan feliz de est

Small businesses have a num-ber of concerns when it comes to the effect that government regulations are having on
their business. That’s a key finding of TriNet’s Small Business Confidence Survey, which explores the opinions of U.S. small business own-ers about issues such as their outlook on the state of their companies and on federal and state legislation.
According to the survey, conducted by Harris Poll, 67 percent of small business owners believe that the U.S. government’s policies are unfavorable toward small businesses, with 32 percent rating them very unfavor-able. The online survey was conducted within the Unit-ed States between January 20−30, 2014 among 206
U.S. owners of small business-es with 10‚àí49 employees.
Additional ConcernsIn addition to the concern
surrounding legislation, the survey also found that:
The majority of small busi-ness owners believe that legis-lation hampering small busi-nesses (56 percent), as well as the overall economic health of the United States (53 percent), will get worse in 2014.
76 percent of small business owners strongly agree that the amount of federal govern-ment regulations regarding employee benefits is restric-tive to the growth of small
business and 75 percent feel the same about state govern-ment regulations.
Only one-third of those sur-veyed (33 percent) consider U.S. government policies to be favorable toward small busi-nesses.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is of major concern to some owners of small busi-nesses. Nearly 8 in 10 (77 per-cent) consider themselves fa-miliar with the ACA. In terms of impact, 52 percent believe that the effect of the ACA on their business has been nei-ther better nor worse than expected, whereas 35 percent said that it has been worse than expected.
The Cost of Compliance
The cost of complying with these regulations may be what is driving small busi-ness owner concerns about government regulations.Ac-cording to a report released
by the Heritage Foundation, the cost of federal regulations to businesses rose by $70 bil-lion during 2009‚àí2013. At the end of 2012, the number of federal regulations affect-ing small companies was 13 percent higher than at the end of 2008.
Additionally, in a 2010 re-port entitled “The Impact of Regulatory Costs on Small Firms,” by the Small Busi-ness Administration, Office of Advocacy, small businesses bear the largest burden of fed-eral regulations. The report noted that small businesses face an annual regulatory cost of $10,585 per employee. The costs for medium-sized and large businesses are $7,454 and $7,755, respectively. Costs per employee thus appear to be at least 36 percent higher in small businesses than in their larger counterparts. With re-spect to tax compliance, the same report indicated the cost per employee is three times
higher in small businesses than in large businesses.
Therefore, according to those numbers, small businesses face a larger per-employee cost for complying with gov-ernment regulations than big companies.
Complying with government regulations can be a complex issue for small businesses. Despite good intentions, the changes ushered in by the Af-fordable Care Act have made it even more challenging for companies to stay compliant. With TriNet’s solutions, business owners can stay in line with government poli-cies so they have more time to spend growing their business.
TriNet, the sponsor of the survey, is a leading provider of a comprehensive human resources solution for small to medium-sized businesses. To learn more, visit www.trinet.com.

It’s a thorny subject, no matter whom you talk to or whether it’s in the U.S. or abroad. The debate over legal-izing marijuana -- be it medi-cal or recreational -- has raged for decades, and has only just started to see the seeds of frui-tion stateside.
Now, however, Canada is weighing in on this controver-sial industry, by changing its production and distribution laws, making it legal for any licensed company to grow and ship medical marijuana to pa-tients, and illegal for patients to grow their own. For their ef-forts, the country is seeing po-tential backers -- both U.S. and Canadian -- flocking to invest.
“It’s a much different time than it was a year ago,” Mark Gobuty, the chief executive of Peace Naturals Project Inc., told the Wall Street Journal. “Before, it was a reputational risk. Today they’re lining up.”
One company that is gam-bling that the industry will be as bountiful as its product is Medican (OTCQB: MDCN), a Las Vegas-based bio-phar-maceutical company. Medi-can is entering the market as a supplier to America’s northern cousin, and focusing on devel-oping, distributing and mar-
keting pharmaceutical-grade cannabis to the emerging glob-al market.
“The medical marijuana market in Canada will be worth roughly $120 million in its first year, and by 2024, it could be worth as much as $1.3 billion,” says Ken Williams, CEO of Medican. “The time to get into this budding industry is now. If we don’t seize this op-portunity, we will miss out on what we believe will be a very profitable market niche that is on the verge of exploding in the next decade.”
In the U.S., the market for legal marijuana -- wherein 20 states currently allow medical marijuana use, and Washing-
ton state and Colorado allow recreational use -- could be worth as much as $2.5 billion by the end of this year, accord-ing to the marijuana industry research firm ArcView Group. As a side note: Colorado, which allowed recreational mari-juana use at the beginning of 2014, took more than $7 mil-lion in tax revenue in the first two months.
Currently, Medican has signed an agreement with In-ternational Herbs, Ltd. and LFG Advisory and Account-ing, and it has committed to entering the Canadian market with a significant ownership stake in a large facility in New Brunswick.

EARTHTALK
Just when you thought it was safe to play soccer on that brand new synthetic turf field, it may be time to think again. Those little black dirt-like granules that fill up the space between synthetic blades of grass and make up some 90 percent of today’s artificial turf fields are actually ground-up car and truck tires. As such they contain a host of potentially noxious chemicals that can lead to a wide range of health problems.
Four of the constitu-ent chemicals in these “tire crumbs” (or “tire mulch”) as they are called—arsenic, benzene, cadmium and nick-el—are deemed carcinogens by the International Agency for Cancer Research. Others have been linked to skin, eye and respiratory irritation, kidney and liver problems, allergic reactions, nervous systems disorders and devel-opmental delays.
While the risk came to light recently when a Univer-sity of Washington women’s soccer coach began to think it might be more than a coin-cidence that two of her goal-ies were stricken with can-cer, researchers have known about such potential links for
years. A 2007 report by the Connecticut-based Environ-ment & Human Health Inc. (EHHI) looked at several sci-entific studies and found de-finitive connections between various health problems and exposure to synthetic turf.
EHHI also reported that kids on playfields are likely to face similar risks as line workers in the rubber fab-rication and reclamation industries, where they say health reports show the presence of multiple volatile organic hydrocarbons and other toxic elements in the air. “Studies at tire reclama-tion sites report leaching of similar sets of chemicals into the ground water,” says the group.
The Synthetic Turf Coun-cil, an industry group, main-tains that there is consider-able evidence pointing to the health safety of synthetic turf. But the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) isn’t taking sides, leav-ing it up to state and local ju-risdictions to decide whether or not to allow artificial turf. The EPA would like to see more research done so par-ents everywhere can have a better idea of the risks in-volved.
Of course, synthetic turf fields aren’t all bad. For one,
they don’t need frequent wa-tering (a grass playing field typically requires 50,000 gallons of water per week during growing season) and doesn’t require the applica-tion of potentially toxic pes-ticides. Furthermore, turf is much more durable and less costly to maintain than grass, and players suffer fewer injuries on it since it doesn’t turn to slippery mud when wet.
Do these pros outweigh the cons? Some schools don’t think so and are turning back plans to convert their grass fields to turf. Where it is too late for that, parents should warn their little athletes to stay upright as much as pos-sible—turf-related cancers seem to be most common in goalies who spend the most time down on the turf sur-face. Also, the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) recommends that those playing on synthetic turf avoid eating or drinking on the field where toxic dust can contaminate food and liquids, wash their hands and body aggressively with soap and water afterwards, and remove clothes worn on the field and turn them in-side out before washing them separately from other items.
(FDA)
Los científicos de la Ad-ministración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés) están estudiando la siguiente gen-eración de dispositivos para diagnósticos y detección, de los cuales algunos emplean técnicas de la industria del entretenimiento. Dentro de poco, las imágenes tridimen-sionales (3D) en 3D real po-drían ayudarle a su médico a detectar tumores ocultos y a diagnosticar mejor el cáncer, gracias a la labor normativa que el equipo de la División de Imágenes, Diagnósticos y Confiabilidad del Software de la FDA está llevando a cabo.
El equipo está liderado por el director de la división, el
Dr. Kyle Myers, un físico con un doctorado en ciencias ópticas. El equipo también está formado por el Dr. Aldo Badano, un experto en tec-nologías de evaluación me-diante imágenes de renom-bre mundial, y el Dr. Brian Garra, un radiólogo espe-cializado en diagnósticos que lleva a cabo investigaciones en el campo de la ciencia de la normatización en la FDA.
Estos científicos estudian la manera en que los médicos obtienen y analizan infor-mación visual para diagnos-ticar una enfermedad. En el centro de su investigación se encuentran los dispositivos de detección de cáncer de mama, los cuales están dan-do el salto de las tecnologías en dos dimensiones (2D) —como las mamografías— a las tomosíntesis de mama
en 3D, los ultrasonidos 3D y la tomografía computariza-da (TC) para el examen de mama. Estas tecnologías están en fase completamente exploratoria y muy lejos to-davía de convertirse en la norma en los consultorios médicos.
Una nueva era en la detec-ción del cáncer de mama
Se están desarrollando mu-chas tecnologías nuevas en el campo de la detección del cáncer de mama; en par-ticular, las alternativas tri-dimensionales que quizá un día sustituyan a las mamo-grafías en dos dimensiones que se utilizan actualmente. La FDA ya ha aprobado el uso de dos de estos disposi-tivos avanzados: el sistema Selenia Dimensions 3D, que ofrece imágenes mediante
tomosíntesis en 3D para el diagnóstico del cáncer de mama; y el SenoClaire de GE Healthcare, que utiliza una combinación de imágenes obtenidas mediante mamo-grafías en 2D y tomosíntesis de mama en 3D.
Las tecnologías que se están desarrollando incluyen la to-mosíntesis de mama en 3D, mediante la cual se generan imágenes tridimensionales de la mama a partir de un

“El problema de las som-bras causadas por la su-perposición ha complicado la detección del cáncer, ya que las mamografías no muestran cánceres ocultos por tejidos superpuestos”,
señala Myers. Otro hecho que agrava este problema es que algunos tejidos super-puestos pueden presentar un aspecto parecido al cáncer, pero no lo son. “Las nuevas tecnologías que estamos es-tudiando superan estos ob-stáculos”, añade. Uno de los retos es que las pantallas 3D para fines médicos necesitan más resolución. Para los usos médicos, los requisitos son exigentes; “y hay mucho en juego”, concluye.

Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and California state public health officials met with emergency responders and representatives of lead-ing health care providers to discuss the state’s Ebola pre-paredness efforts on Tuesday.
The Governor joined of-
ficials from the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS), California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Department of In-dustrial Relations (DIR) and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) to meet with Cali-fornia hospital leaders and nurses. The Governor will also meet later today with emergency responders, local health directors and medical providers.
While there are currently no
cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in California, state of-ficials are taking steps to help ensure health care workers, hospitals and first responders are prepared to treat and care for patients with Ebola.
Since the EVD outbreak
began in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, CDPH has worked with state, federal and local health officials to prepare for potential cases of EVD in California. In August, CDPH launched an infor-mational website compiling information about the out-break and preparing Califor-nia health care providers with guidance and protocols from the federal Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDPH has developed an interim case report form for reporting suspected cases of EVD to CDPH and has distributed CDC guidance on specimen collection, trans-port, testing and submission for patients suspected of hav-ing Ebola. Last week, CDPH
posted interim guidelines for EVD medical waste man-agement and recommended that all healthcare facility environmental services per-sonnel and infection control staff work together to develop facility-specific protocols for safe handling of Ebola related medical waste. CDPH has provided these and other doc-uments to health care provid-ers and partners via the Cali-fornia Health Alert Network (CAHAN).
In September, CDPH con-
vened more 1,100 health care and public health workers to urge them to assess their Ebola readiness and conduct drills in their facilities. Last week, CDPH officials held a teleconference with health care providers to discuss the latest news and guidance about handling suspected EVD cases. CDPH is provid-ing weekly updates to local health officials, first respond-ers and health care providers as the EVD outbreak contin-ues in West Africa. In an ef-fort to ensure that health care workers throughout the state have the necessary informa-tion on protecting themselves while treating patients with EVD, Cal/OSHA last week distributed interim guidance on proper use of personal pro-tective equipment, infection control and respiratory pro-tection. CDPH is also avail-able to provide consultation about suspect EVD cases
to local health departments and health care providers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Governor and state of-
ficials from CHHS, CDPH, DIR and Cal/OSHA convened meetings with representatives of the California Hospital As-sociation, University of Cali-fornia Office of the President, Cedars-Sinai Health System, Sharp HealthCare, Kaiser Permanente Northern Cali-fornia, California Nurses As-sociation, California Confer-ence of Local Health Officers, County Health Executives Association of California, California Primary Care As-sociation, California Medi-cal Association, Emergency Medical Services Adminis-trators’ Association of Califor-nia, EMS Medical Directors Association Of California, California Fire Chiefs Associ-ation, California Professional Firefighters, Service Employ-ees International Union and the Association of Federal, State, County and Municipal Employees.

Millennials, politics, tech, and celebrities blended together to create the Voto Latino Power Summit Conference, this past weekend, October 17-18, at the last stop on the four city summit tour and tenth anni-versary celebration hosted at San Jose State University.
Voto Latino, a non partisan organization focuses on de-veloping leadership skills in Latino Millennials to engage in politics and community is-sues.The conference gathered together panels of experts for workshops as a way to pro-vide professional tools and resources for its millennial participants to find pathways to success and civic engage-ment. Panelists ranged from politicians, business leaders, and activists.
The organization has a long history in the Silicon Valley. Founder and CEO Maria Te-resa Kumar, a northern Cali-fornia native, recognized the San Francisco Bay Area as a focal point to met the organi-zation’s needs.
“A lot of the ideas and the technology influence that we use at Voto Latino, ten years ago, came because of people’s commitment here, locally.” said Kumar.
Kumar and her team on the East Coast were not able to gain support for the organi-zation in its beginning stages by reaching out to Latinos in English via technology. “Here in the Bay Area, of course you would reach young Latinos in English using technology. Ten years ago that was unheard of people thought they were nuts but the Bay Area not only knew the community but felt very strongly of encouraging us.”
The conference for stu-dents, like San Jose State University’s Jessica Fuentes served as a catalyst for her fu-
ture endeavors after gradua-tion. “Because I’m a leader on campus I was really inspired to learn more about how to develop my leadership skills and to learn more about how to inspire other Latinos to get involved politically,” said Fuentes.
On the other end of the spec-trum, while students like Fuentes benefit from train-ing to pursue professional success and community ac-tivism, seasoned profession-als like marketing manager, Juan Carlos Lopez also found themselves attending work-shops. Lopez said the millen-nial market is important for overall marketing success.
“I think it’s very crucial be-cause I think the group that’s really more accepting of new technology,they are quick to learn it and embrace it and anytime that you want to take advantage of new technology such as social media, that’s the group that you definitely want to reach out to,” said Lopez.
While the conference boasted a multitude of workshops, Fuentes and Lopez agree that the environment of being sur-rounded by Latinos striving to make a community impact also made a lasting impres-sion.
“At the end of the day, when
we all show up to vote, that’s when the real impact can happen that’s when real criti-cal change can in one sweep, one law, one legislation, can suddenly make all the differ-ence,” said Rosario Dawson.
Dawson, the organization’s chairwoman, while most fa-mously known as an actress, in films like Sin City and Sev-en Pounds, has been involved with the organization since its inception.
“It’s smart and it’s necessary for us to participate in that way, we’re not always going to volunteer for organizations but we can all vote, it doesn’t take that much of our time and using our critical voice in our way can make all the dif-ference generationally,” said Dawson.
Dawson and Kumar recalled the beginnings of the organi-zation when lack of network support, the organization’s mission, and even Dawson’s ethnic authenticity were called into question.
“We started with breaking a lot of stereotypes, the stereo-types were broken in large part because we created Voto Latino and people came,” said Kumar. “My hope is that we are only here celebrating our anniversary, right here in our backyard but more im-portantly we’re using it as an opportunity to cultivate new Latino leadership not only for San Jose but also for the country.”
After a long summit season educating participants in advocacy, business, media, and technology in Miami, San Antonio, New York, and finally San Jose the Voto La-tino Team still has more work to do. “We want to give people the tools to navigate their life, be resource for information be a connector to other great individuals are the country so that they empower them-selves,” said Kumar. “We’re just getting started.”

The Impact Teen Drivers organization, along with the California Highway Patrol and the California Office of Traffic Safety, met this week at the California School for the Deaf to recognize the National Teen Driver Safety Week, October 19-25, 2014. Motor vehicle collisions re-main the leading cause of death for teens 14-18 years of age in the United States. In fact, almost half of the teen drivers involved in a crash die. The majority of these collisions do not involve the use of alcohol or drugs, and tragically, all of them are pre-ventable.
Speakers at the event in-cluded California State As-semblyman Bill Quirk, Chief Avery Browne, the Division Commander of the CHP Golden Gate Division, Dr. Kelly Browning, PhD, the Executive Director of Impact Teen Drivers, and Principal Len Gonzales of the Califor-nia School for the Deaf.
The California School for the Deaf hosted the press conference. Their mission is to provide comprehensive educational programs in an accessible learning environ-ment that recognizes Deaf students and adults as cul-
turally and linguistically dis-tinct. Hosting today’s confer-ence was especially signifi-cant because the partnership between Impact Teen Driv-ers (ITD) and the California Highway Patrol exists to en-sure that traffic safety mes-sages geared toward teens are as effective and com-prehensive as possible. Our organizations work together to continually develop and deliver evidence-based pro-grams and materials to dis-tinct subsets of teens. In fact, ITD and CHP have devel-oped outreach programs for deaf teens, Spanish-speak-ing teens, Hmong-speaking teens, and programs for teens of varying socioeco-nomic backgrounds.
A focus of the CHP/ITD partnership is to embrace peer-to-peer messaging. Teens are more likely to posi-tively respond to messages delivered by those within their peer groups. The “What Do You Consider Lethal?” campaign includes a “Lead-the-Leaders workshop, which has been delivered in many languages including American Sign Language. These powerful peer-to-peer workshops feature personal stories of reckless and dis-tracted driving, and empow-er student leaders to imple-ment successful traffic safety
advocacy projects.
Students at the Califor-nia School for the Deaf ex-emplify a commitment to service, with many already actively involved in traffic safety messaging. This year, California Highway Patrol’s “Don’t Text and Drive” Pub-lic Service Announcement, “Ghost,” was a joint effort with California School for the Deaf. The PSA received several awards and will be posted on DMV’s California statewide website. Today’s Lead the Leaders workshop provided them the tools to continue and strengthen their efforts.
At the heart of the event was the celebration of success-ful collaboration between teen leaders, schools, and community organizations in championing safe driving. Dr. Kelly Browning, Execu-tive Director of Impact Teen Drivers asserts that, “It will take all of us, educators, law enforcement, parents, and communities, to change the driving culture to one that is distraction-free.” Using this multifaceted approach com-bining quality education, en-forcement, and cutting-edge technology, California is one giant step closer to ending preventable teen fatal car crashes.
CONSULADO GENERAL DE MÉXICO EN SAN JOSÉ
El Consulado General de México en San José se enor-gullece en presentar al artista plástico Héctor Vargas, invi-tado especial, que estará pre-sentando dos series de dibujos en el Consulado, localizado en 2125 Zanker Road. El pú-blico podrá visitar las series “Silicón Valley” y “Mantegna” desde el 24 de octubre hasta el 22 de noviembre.
En esta exposición, desar-rollada ex profeso para el Consulado, Héctor Vargas, explora las posibilidades de la forma a través del dibujo, que puede ser muy elegante, pero también muy agresivo. En la serie “Silicón Valley”, el artista realiza un juego de palabras con la palabra silicon (en in-glés, silicio) y silicón; plant-eando en esta contraposición el uso libre de la forma en el dibujo y las alteraciones a la figura humana. Por otro lado, la serie “Mantegna”, está directamente relacionada
con el trabajo plástico de dos artistas latinoamericanos: José Luis Cuevas y Fernando Botero, durante la época de los cincuenta y sesenta: años críticos para el redescu-brimiento de la figuración en el arte latinoamericano, toda vez, que en este periodo am-bos artistas se empeñaron en desarrollar una nueva ten-dencia diferente al arte enfo-cado en la educación popular y el abstraccionismo. Ambas series, producidas en tinta, acrílico y carburo de silicio, hacen constar al dibujo de Héctor Vargas como una ex-presión autónoma de arte.
“El dibujo ha sido la manera más directa e inmediata de las artes visuales, ya que toda manifestación de este tipo es susceptible de ser trazada. Me interesa ‘pensar’ el dibujo y trabajar en función de pre-sentar esta práctica como una posibilidad autónoma de arte. Me gusta mucho saberme capaz de manipular la figura desde su forma más simple hasta el paroxismo. Con re-specto al público que mira mi
trabajo, la intención es que reciban un impacto violento, como en un round de spar-ring con Rocky Marciano”, Héctor Vargas.
Vargas continúa con la tradición gráfica mexicana. Tiende un puente entre el arte plástico de la cultura tolteca, de la cual desciende, hasta el dibujo contemporáneo mexi-cano, pasando por figuras como la de Ernesto “chango” Cabral y José Luis Cuevas. Héctor Vargas inició su carre-ra como artista en el Taller de Gráfica Popular, donde desar-rolla su obra y mantiene viva la tradición gráfica iniciada por íconos del imaginario colectivo mexicano como Ju-lio Ruelas, Manuel Manilla y José Guadalupe Posada.
El artista ha mostrado su trabajo en México, Suiza, Es-tados Unidos y Argentina. Ha presentado conferencias para la Universidad de Stanford y San Jose State University sobre la nueva figuración y la influencia de Marta Traba, Fernando Botero, José Gó-
mez Sicre y José Luis Cuevas en el arte latinoamericano de postguerra; The Mexican Museum- San Francisco, sobre la influencia de José Guadalupe Posada en los grabadores mexicanos del SXX; The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, sobre el Taller de Grá-fica Popular, al igual que en el Centro de Documentación e Investigación para la Cultura de Izquierdas en Buenos Ai-res, Argentina. Actualmente radica en México, DF.
El público podrá visitar las series “Silicón Valley” y
“Mantegna” desde el 24 de octubre hasta el 22 de noviembre.

A Board of Supervisors’ Committee approved new guidelines aimed at keeping graffiti out of Santa Clara County pockets and remov-ing it quickly when vandals do tag property.
On Thursday, October 16, the Housing, Land Use, En-vironment and Transporta-tion Committee, chaired by Supervisor Dave Cortese, approved guidelines that encourage property owners to remove graffiti within 48 hours of detection and take steps to prevent tagging in residential and commercial areas. The previous rules gave property owners 10 days to remove graffiti.
“Ten days is too long and encourages graffiti vandals to keep tagging,” said Su-pervisor Dave Cortese, who recommended the ordinance changes in June.  “Re-moving it as soon as possible discourages them from hit-ting the same place.”
The Board of Supervi-sors will take final vote on the Anti-Graffiti Program at its meeting at 9 a.m. on November 4, 2014, in the Board Chambers at the City Government Center, 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose.
While the County has worked with property own-ers to paint out graffiti, there hasn’t been a program or resources focused on illegal tagging since 2008.  Revis-ing the ordinance establishes
the program and makes graffiti cleanup a priority.Af-ter the Board’s adoption of the amended ordinance in August, the Code Enforce-ment Division notified 34 owners to clean up the graf-fiti on their properties. So far, 21 have removed the graffiti. If the graffiti is not removed, the County can have it re-moved and charge the prop-erty owner for the costs.
The focus, however, is on working with property own-ers to rid neighborhoods of this blight, and asking residents and neighborhood leaders to be the “eyes and ears” of their areas.  To report graffiti, residents in County pockets can call Code Enforcement at 408-299-5704.

As the weather continues to heat up, many of us are looking to slim down and get the most out of our workouts. But choosing the best exercises is only one part of the fit-ness equation. To maximize results, try these nutritious and energizing pre- and post-workout fixes to fuel your body and keep you going.Before a Workout Eat?
1. Overnight Oats. Oatmeal is filled with fiber, so it’ll gradually release carbs into your bloodstream and help you maintain a steady stream of energy throughout your work-out. To make overnight oats, just
mix 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1 cup of your favorite milk and let them soak in the fridge overnight. Then top with your favorite nuts, fruits or yogurt, and enjoy!
2. Raisins. A new study shows that raisins work just as well as sports gels as a natural way to fuel your muscles. Aim for 2 tablespoons -- or about 30 to 40 raisins.
3. Pomegranate Juice. A recent study found that healthy com-pounds in pomegranate juice, called polyphenols, may help de-crease muscle soreness. After a Workout Eat...
1. Tuna. To get the protein your body needs to repair muscles after a vigorous sweat session, try StarKist Tuna Creations. The pouches come in a variety of flavors, like Sweet & Spicy and Ranch, and all are 110 calories or less. Each provides 12-16 grams of protein and is a natural source of omega-3s fats, which may decrease the amount of fat your body stores, and have been linked to decreased muscle soreness.
2. Latte. Believe it or not, this cof-fee shop treat is a refreshing option after exercise. Milk is the secret in-gredient, since it has both the pro-tein and carbohydrates your body craves post-workout.
3. Green Smoothie. A new study found that a healthy compound in leafy green vegetables helps muscles work more efficiently. In a blender, puree 1 cup of leafy greens, 8 ounces of low-fat milk and 1/2 cup frozen unsweetened berries.
Last, but certainly not least, drinking plenty of water is vital. If you’re not fully hydrated, you’ll get tired faster and increase your risk of injury. Aim to drink about 8 to 16 ounces dur-ing a 30-minute workout.
‣A salad with tuna is a great way to give your body post-work-out protein.

Treasure Island Music Fes-tival, in its 7th year, came and went with great results during the weekend of Oc-tober 18-19th. Accompanied by one of the most majestic backdrops, the peninsula and the vistas of San Fran-cisco, a slew of popular art-ists and entertainment gave the festival enough of a range to satisfy anyones craving, whether it be food, dance, or a nice view.
Outkast, the headliner for Saturday, are no rookies to concert circuits. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut, Southernplayalisticadillac-muzik, (quite a mouthful) the duo of Andre Benjamin (‘Andre 3000’) and Antwan Patton (‘Big Boi’) exceeded expectations after a rocky start to their reunion tour this year at Coachella. Its safe to say the rust of not performing during their hia-tus wore off to great effect. The crowds swooned to the
romantic, funky songs like “Prototype” to the su-per hits like “Hey Ya”.
Other bands over the week-end included Cathedrals, the San Francisco bred indie pop outfit as well as ZEDD, a Russian electronic music producer that had the swell-ing crowds of his live DJ and video effects set dancing and bobbing back and forth. French-Chilean MC Ana Tijoux, who rapped in both English and Spanish to the acclaim of the crowds, is best known in the US for the song ‚Äú1977‚Äù. Another band, 1960’s beach rock revivalists The Growlers, had a psyche-delic air to their style while also evoking a stage presence that kept current with our era.
As for other forms of enter-tainment, there were many activities in store for at-tendees. ‘Silent Disco’ was a space where upon entering one would be given a pair of headphones with volume control and wireless capa-bilities. Everyone in the ‘dis-co’ was treated to great sets of music mixes provided by
live DJ’s there; the catch is that if you were not wearing these impressive headphones you’d be seeing a strangely quiet dance party. This was definitely one of the high-lights of the festival beyond the stage acts.
Other interesting things to note were the working fer-ris wheel which, paired with the fantastic view of the bay and the skyline of San Fran-cisco, was a perfect picture moment (especially at dusk when the lights came on).
Brought by the same folks responsible for Outsidelands, which takes over portions of Golden Gate Park during August every year, the Trea-sure Island Music Festival, just like the aforementioned festival, knows how to use the environment of San Francisco as a backdrop for enjoying live music, art, food and partaking in unexpect-ed, but enjoyable events.

CafÈ Tacvba celebra los veinte aÒos del disco Re, adem·s de los 25 aÒos desde el inicio de la banda.
Iniciaron un tour nuevo el 16 de octubre y Enrique “Quique” Rangel hablo sobre su camino con CafÈ Tacvba.
ìOriginalmente estudie para diseÒador grafico, pero la musica se interpuso en mi camino.î Hablando sobre el disco Re, dice Rangel que la razÛn por ser tan fundamen-tal para los fans y la banda es su espÌritu de experiment-aciÛn. ìEste disco fue una que la gente ha apreciado mas,
por un modo muy sentimen-tal, para mucha gente fue la primera vez que escucharon a CafÈ Tacvba.î Para la banda, fue el disco que permitiÛ que su musica no solo se escucha-ra en MÈxico, pero por todo el mundo, ìasÌ que le tenemos un aprecio especial.î
ìYo creo que la gente reconoce eso en este experimento. No Èramos los mejores m sicos, todavÌa Èramos m sicos en formaciÛn. Pero entre eso, entre la producciÛn de Gus-tavo Santaolalla, la forma en que el ingeniero Tony Peluso lo grabo, la mezcla de sor-presa y incluso de inocencia forma parte de esas cancio-nes que identifican como una obra completaî. Aunque han
pasado veinte aÒos desde el ·lbum, todavÌa reflecta la ide-ologÌa de la banda en su in-fancia, y la energÌa para con-tribuir algo nico a la musica que ayudo empujar el mov-imiento Rock en EspaÒol. ìYo mismo me sorprendo cu·ndo escucho unas cosas (en el ·lbum Re), reconociendo ese valor del trabajo.î
El tour llegara a San Francis-co el 30 de Octubre a tocar las 20 canciones de Re, adem·s de otras de su extenso cat·logo de material.

Wearing a blue leather pea-coat and matching blue beanie, The Growlers front-man Brooks Nielson looks the part at the Treasure Is-land Music Festival in San Francisco. Themes of pi-rates and ocean-fearing at-tire are consistent around the festival, Nielson adding to the eclectic styles. Before performing in front of thou-sands of fans at Treasure Is-land, he took some time to talk about The Growlers. †
He and his band come from sunny Dana Point, in South-ern California, where they stayed up until their foray into becoming a solid en-semble. Their sound is an amalgam, which can be said includes Neo-Psychedelia, Country, and Surf Revival, among other styles. This dis-tinctive sound was coined ìBeach Gothî, which is also the name of a festival theyíve thrown for the past 3 years. †
The band consists of Brooks Nielsen (vocals), Matt Taylor (lead guitar), Scott Montoya (drums, formerly bass) An-thony Braun Perry (bass) and Kyle Straka (keyboards, guitar).
ìI got into music pretty lateî says Nielson, ìI had a guitar, for a couple months in San Clementeî, after spending time reveling in parties and playing on around on their instruments, the idea hit to form a fully fledged band. The seriousness in their in-tentions solidified when they moved away from their less than positive surroundings, to Long Beach California.
While the vocalist admits it started off as a bit of a party, now, 6 or 7 years lat-er, the skills they honed are evident. Their new album, Chinese Fountain, was re-leased in September and has been praised for its polish and quality, without losing that key component of their
surfer beach style of alt-rock. ìWe’ve always doing crummy home recordings, I think we deserved to finally be in a nice studio with a good en-gineer, a talented engineerî, says Nielsen.
Their Beach Goth shows became increasingly popu-lar, even getting shut down by police because of the amount of fans coming to them. Eventually, they began holding the festival in larger venues.
ìTheres one time of year where i get to do this, I work my ass off on it but its totally worth it.î
The lineup for this yearís Beach Goth includes among others, The Drums, DIIV, GZA, Foxygen, and At-las Sound. And of course, Brooks and the rest of The Growlers will be performing as well. For more informa-tion on the band please visit http://www.thegrowlers.com/.

HBO says it’s finally ready: Sometime in the next year the pay-TV service will be selling a Web-only offer-ing.
HBO CEO Richard Plepler, speaking at an investor pre-sentation hosted by HBO parent company Time War-ner, said the company will start selling in 2015 a digi-tal version of its service that won’t require a pay-TV subscription.
Plepler said the com-pany will go “beyond the wall” and launch a “stand-alone, over the top” version of HBO in the U.S. next year, and would work with “cur-rent partners,” and may work with others as well. But he wouldn’t provide any other detail.
Even that vague statement is a milestone for HBO, Time Warner and the TV business in general. For years, Time Warner and HBO have said they’re happy with the existing system, where HBO is sold to consumers by TV providers, and is usually only available to customers who are already buying another bundle of TV networks.
That arrangement helped generate $4.9 billion in rev-enue for HBO last year, and
also kept pay-TV providers like Comcast* happy.
But now, under pressure from investors to show that Time Warner can extract more value from HBO, Ple-pler and Time Warner seem willing to risk upsetting that structure. The move will also be seen as a response to the rise of Netflix, which has more than 50 million sub-scribers for its Web video ser-vice, and may generate more revenue than HBO this year.
The upside is that HBO will be able to market itself to customers who don’t want to buy a full “bundle” of pay-TV channels, or may not get any pay-TV package at all, a number Plepler pegged at 10 million. The downside is that the Comcasts of the world, which HBO will still want to market its service, may punish the company.
Other big TV networks have also discussed an in-terest in selling program-ming directly to consumers. ESPN, for instance, has said it will sell a package of NBA games to digital subscribers in the next few years. But in that case, the company has taken pains to argue that it won’t sell a product that competes with the one it’s already selling via pay TV.
Plepler’s brief statement about its “over the top”
plans didn’t spell out the way the company would market and deliver HBO on the Web. It’s possible that the company will build out its own technology to do so. But I’ve also heard in-dustry sources suggest that HBO would work with other companies that are already selling video on the Web, like Amazon and Hulu, to deliver its programming. HBO al-ready has a wide-ranging content deal with Amazon.
He also didn’t discuss whether the Web version of HBO will be a mirror of the version available to pay-TV customers. Analysts have previously suggested that HBO might consider a “windowed” version of its TV service on the Web, where shows like “True Detective” and “Game of Thrones” don’t ap-pear until months after they debut on TV.
It’s important to note that much of Plepler’s presentation focused on HBO’s plans to build out its traditional business, by getting better terms from its existing pay-TV partners, and by getting pay-TV sub-scribers who aren’t paying for HBO to sign on — while continuing to pay for other TV channels.
