Sacramento – La activis-ta de los derechos humanos, Dolores Huerta llama a la Asamblea del Estado de California a que apruebe la legislación que llevara a California con el resto del mundo en eliminar la ca-dena perpetua sin libertad condicional de los niños.
“Le suplico a todos los
Dolores Huerta le pide a la asamblea que apruebe SB 9
miembros de la Asamblea que voten con el corazón y apoyen esta legislación del sentido común,” dijo Huerta
Aproximadamente 300 jóvenes criminales han sido sentenciados a morir en las prisiones de California por crímenes cometidos cuando fueron adolescentes, reporto el “Human Rights Watch”.
Estados Unidos es el único país en el mundo donde las personas que tenían menos de 18 años cuando cometie-ron el crimen son condena-dos a cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional. A ni-vel nacional, más de 2.500 jóvenes criminales tienen que cumplir esta sentencia.
El informe viene cuan-
do en la Asamblea del Es-tado de California están dispuestos a reconsiderar la ley del Senador Leland Yee que le daría a la juven-tud una segunda oportu-nidad, después de haber cumplido 25 años de pri-sión. El año pasado, la ley no paso por solo un voto.
El informe de 28 pági-nas, “Cuando me Muero, Me Enviarán a Casa: Una Actualización,” (O en inglés, “When I Die, They’ll Send Me Home”), que son seis años de investigación, en-trevistas y correspondencias con oficiales de la prisión y jóvenes que cumplen su ca-dena perpetua sin libertad condicional. A pesar de la evidencia científica que de-muestra que los jóvenes son capaces de poder cambiar, California persiste a sen-tenciar a la juventud a las codenas perpetuas, encon-tró “Human Rights Watch”.
“Sentenciar a los niños a muerte en la prisión es incorrecto e inhumano y es completamente con-trario a todo lo que cono-cemos sobre el desarrollo cerebral de los niños,” dijo Dolores Huerta. “Igual de alarmante, es como Cali-fornita tiene la peor discre-pancia racial en condenar de por vida a los niños.”
“Nadie puede predecir quién va ser el joven cuan-do cumpla 40 años,” dijo Elizabeth Calvin, una ac-tivista de los derechos de niños en la organización, “Human Rights Watch”. “Cuando California senten-cia a un joven de 16 años de edad a morirse en la pri-sión, el estado ignora lo que ha comprobado la ciencia, los padres, y los maestros han reconocido por mucho tiempo: que los jóvenes tie-nen tremenda potencial de cambiar, crecer, y madurar.”
Con la ley, conocida como SB 9, el tribunal puede re-visar las sentencias de por vida de los jóvenes que ya han cumplido 15 años de prisión, y potencialmente permitiendo algunas per-
sonas recibir una nueva sentencia mínima de 25 años por vida. La ley re-quiriera que el delincuente sienta remordimiento y este trabajando a rehabilitar-se si va presentar su peti-ción para que lo consideren para una nueva sentencia.
En California, de los 127 casos entrevistados 45 por ciento de los jóvenes fue-ron sentenciados por vida sin libertad condicional, no fueron las personas o persona que cometió per-sonalmente el crimen, lo encontró la organización “Human Rights Watch”.
“Ochenta cinco por cien-to de los jóvenes que son sentenciados por vida son niños Latinos y Afro-Ame-ricanos,” dijo Dolores Huer-ta. “Muchos de estos niños Latinos y Afro-Americanos no tenían el dinero suficien-te para contratar un con-sejero privado – el sesenta cinco por ciento no fueron avisados que podían tener una persona que hablaran por ellos en el momento de la sentencia y el setenta por ciento no tenían ni una per-sona que hablaran por ellos durante la sentencia. La ley, SB 9 ayudar cambiar estas tendencias horrorosas, y permitiría que California se una con el resto del mundo para poder darle una segun-da oportunidad a los niños.”
También, California tie-ne un de las peores tasas de disparidad racial por toda la nación con el uso de las sentencias de por vida que les dan a la juventud que cometen crímenes. Los niños Afro-Americanos son sentenciados por vida 18.3 veces más que los An-glos y los Latinos son 5 veces más que los anglos.
“SB 9 no es una manera rápida de salir de la prisión, es una propuesta increí-blemente modesta que a la vez respeta a las víctimas, la derecho internacional y porque los niños tienen mayor capacidad de reha-bilitarse que los adultos.”

The Hispanic Sleeping Giant is awakening to the reality that its capable of having a decisive impact on elections. Hispanic citizens are aware that their vote is very important in many jurisdictions as the ‘swing vote’. What this means is that any serious candidate must include within their strategic election campaign plans a message directed at Hispanics. All campaign managers must consider the impact of Hispanic ‘swing voters’. The Hispanic vote cannot be taken for granted.
However, the Hispanic community is an inclusive diverse group of Mexican-Americans, Chicanos, Lati-nos, and ‘Hispanics. Some have families which have resided here for 450 years or more; some are recent immigrants; and others are assimilated but retain bilin-gual capability. Economic growth within this diverse dynamic group is the high-est of all ethnic groups. Re-cently, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that 74% of the new working labor community will be ‘Latino’.
The U.S. Supreme Court was totally in error when it ruled that corporations may speak with their money in the election process. Note that corporations do not vote. Their leadership, as citizens, do have a right to vote if each is a registered voter. Corporations will always use their money to influence election outcomes in their ‘special interest’. This is an additioinal way to influence public policy and its administration be-cause using lobbyists is the traditional method to influ-

ence the legislative process. In fact, as an outcome of concentrated money and focused interests, corporate lobbyists have been quite ef-fective. Many of these lobby-ists are WASP males (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) who have no clue regarding how to communicate with the Hispanic swing voter.
This election year 2012 is about the future of our coun-try and the soul of the pro-gressive liberal movement. In recent primary elections Democrats and Republi-cans are trading the soul of their party for big corporate campaign contributions.
What is the difference between an anti-choice, anti-gay, pro-war, pro-corporate Republican, and an anti-choice, anti-gay, pro-war, pro- corporate Democrat? Nothing. Either way, prgressive liberal val-ues are lost and the coun-try may be worse off. There is really no choice at all which is why so many new youthful voters are opting to remain ‘independent’.
So, WE, THE PEOPLE have a choice. As stated here over the past 20 years, every citizen, especially the im-migrant naturalized citizen, must register to vote, be-come informed about choic-es and then vote in his/her best interests on two elec-tion days, which are Tues-day, June 5th and Tuesday, November 6th, 2012. WE, THE PEOPLE outnumber the corporations which have accumulated the money and can now ‘speak’ by pay-ing for all the propaganda presented on the internet, TV and radio broadcasts.
WE, THE PEOPLE must learn enough about each and every candidate for all elected offices so as to make a personal de-termination regarding whether or not that par-ticular candidate can be a trustworthy steward who will serve the people rather
than corporate interests.
This 2012 Election year is about who will govern this American superpower. The corporate special inter-ests or WE, THE PEOPLE? What is involved is the con-cept of ‘balance of ruling power’. Do THE PEOPLE want a President, a Sen-ate (100 members), and a ‘House of Representatives’ (435 members) who are not restricted by current partisan ideologies? If so, then elect enough members of one party so that that party has the two-thirds vote needed to pass the es-sential legislation required to serve WE, THE PEOPLE or the special interests.
Informed registered voters are essential to sal-vaging American democ-rac and its dreams. These registered voters must ask certain questions: 1) Is that candidate trust-worthy? 2) To whom is that candidate beholden? and 3) In the past, how has that candidate voted?
What may be a daunting task is not-because many organizations having exem-plary civic service history exist. One is the League of Women Voters…who pro-vide factual nonpartisan in-formation about all levels of government (local, state, & national). The Pew Hispan-ic Center is a reliable source. And Registrar of Voters presents online each mea-sure, proposition, and can-didate’s statements. When listening to news programs, ask if what is being present-ed an opinion, an interpre-tation or the presentation of reliable information. Ask if he/she is ‘trustworthy’? The stewardship of our nation must be placed in ‘trustwor-thy’ hands during this 2012 election year. The Hispanic sleeping giant awakens as a very important swing vote.

I declared the Year of the Child 2011 in Santa Clara County one year ago. The premise was that we OWE our children the best that we have to give. It is not a debt based on dol-lars, but on the aggregate effect of reduced services, watered down expectations and neglect. How much of that debt did we pay down during 2011? Let’s start with Juvenile Justice.
Peer Court began No-vember 2011 as a youth court based on restorative justice principles. Low level youth offenders could plead their case to other youth and be allowed to make amends to victims and society while meeting the required com-munity services . It heard its first cases and continues on a regular basis today thanks to the efforts of the Proba-tion Department, Lincoln Law School, East Side Union High School District edu-cators and Central Coun-ty Occupational Center.
In 2010 we made juve-nile hall ‘off limits’ to those under age 13. The BOS ad-opted a formal policy to which the Juvenile Hall system responded. Not one 12 year old was in Juve-nile Hall when 2011 ended.
New systems of pre-trial diversion of minors were created. The direct refer-ral one began as a San Jose Police Department part-nership. Here youth taken into custody are referred directly to community care before being booked, thereby, keeping them out of the system entirely.
With mental health grant funds coupled with the leadership of Dr. Nan-cy Pena, Director, Men-tal Health Department, “School Linked Services”

were revived. This program put county juvenile resourc-es where they are most ef-fective—in our schools. The county made it a priority to be inside schools, deliver-ing county and community based services to kids in need. This new SLS Strat-egy document was adopted by the BOS unanimously.
We are returning to a model that helps kids & families holistically. This rebirth, a partner-ship with First 5 Santa Clara County, includes the zero to five year olds.
I supported the idea from Dana Bunnett and Kids in Common that Child Impact Statements be included as part of ev-ery decision made by the Board of Supervisors. Since July 2011 these statements, which disclose whether a child’s emotional, mental, financial or other resources will be affected as a result of the decision before the Board, have been agenized. This evolves out of the Chil-dren’s Bill of Rights.
Much of what we do af-
fects 450,000 youth resid-ing in Santa Clara County: state funding for foster care teens; restorative justice for troubled minors; and childhood obesity. Can we represent the interests of these youths if we do not give them a seat at the table?
I asked my colleagues, the County Executive, and the Office of Human Rela-tions to allow my office to reconstitute a County YTF to serve as an adjunct pol-icy advisory group. During 2011, 16 new YTF members from all 5 county supervi-sorial districts were sworn in. The YTF’s mission is to focus on leadership devel-opment, with an emphasis on research, policy devel-opment and communica-tions. The YTF will make recommendations on diffi-cult and contentious issues that affect youth and their peers to the BOS, com-missions and committees.
If you have any com-ments or questions on these programs and services de-scribed, please call 408-299-5030 or email [email protected].

We had good action at Chase on March 1st. 50 people from Alliance of Californians for Communi-ty Empowerment (ACCE), Occupy Redwood City, Oc-cupy San Jose, the San Ma-teo County Central Labor Council and others turned out to support Gloria Takla.
Takla continues to push Chase to give her a loan modification with principal reduction. We held a press conference in front of the county government build-ing and then marched over

to the Chase branch. We had coverage from the San Jose Mercury News, Red-wood City Patch, The Palo Alto Post and others. Chase security guards physically blocked the entrance and refused to let anyone other than Takla enter the bank. Takla did get in and was able to talk to Chase staff. We rallied outside the bank and demanded justice for Takla. She was also able to deliver the petition to Chase employees with almost 1200 signatures that we have col-lected through SignOn.org in support of her demands.
It’s important that we
don’t let up the pressure on Chase. That’s why we are asking everyone to call Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase at 212-270-1111 and tell him or his assistant or leave him a message saying: (suggested script) “I’m calling because I’m concerned about Chase borrower Gloria Takla. Glo-ria is a 72-year-old woman who was steered into a predatory loan. Now she’s facing foreclosure. Chase Bank should do the right thing and give Gloria an af-fordable loan modification with principal reduction.”
San José’s tree-planting organization, Our City For-est (OCF), invites commu-nity members to join a free 4 week course designed to educate and empower indi-viduals to become success-ful advocates of the Urban Forest and to utilize Our City Forest as the vehicle for regular and active service in the San Jose community.

Sacramento – When it comes to buckling up, daily efforts by the public and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) are making a difference. Every click of a seat belt represents an-other life potentially saved.
“Motorists are to be com-mended because seat belt usage is at an all time high in California,” said CHP Com-missioner Farrow. “Howev-er, there are still a small per-centage of people who have yet to realize the benefits of passenger restraints and
Saving and securing lives, one seat belt at a time continue to ignore the warn-ings about not buckling up.”
To assist in this safety mission through Septem-ber 30, 2012, the CHP has obtained the Vehicle Occu-pant Restraint Education and Instruction (VOREI) grant. The grant will be used to support statewide community outreach and enforcement efforts by CHP officers who will encour-age Californians to not only buckle up themselves, but to ensure their passengers are properly secured as well.
Among five vehicle oc-cupants killed daily, sta-tistics indicate at least one of them was not properly secured inside the vehicle.
In addition to lives lost for failure to wear a seat belt, hundreds of citations are is-sued daily. The cost of a cita-tion for an adult not wearing a seat belt is at a minimum $142, while the cost of a ticket for an unrestrained child under 16 starts at $474, along with a point against your driving record.

Los créditos fiscales se han diseñado específica-mente para alentar a las pequeñas empresas y a las pequeñas organizaciones exentas de impuestos ya sea para mantener la cobertura de cuidado de salud o para ofrecer el cuidado de salud a sus empleados por primera vez.
¿Quién es elegible?
Los empleadores peque-ños y exentos de impuestos que ofrecen cobertura de salud a sus empleados son

• Pagan por lo menos 50 por ciento o más del costo de la prima de seguro de sa-lud de sus empleados
¿Cuánto es el crédito fis-cal?
Para ayudar a compensar los costos de la cobertura de los empleados, existe un cré-dito fiscal de escala móvil de hasta un 35 por ciento de los gastos del empleador de las primas de seguro de salud elegibles para los años fisca-les 2010-2013.
• Los empleadores con 10 o menos empleados a tiem-po completo, pagando un salario anual promedio de $ 25.000 o menos, califican para el crédito máximo - un 35 por ciento.
• A partir de 2014, el cré-dito fiscal máximo aumenta hasta un 50 por ciento de los gastos de la prima de seguro de salud y se debe comprar la cobertura en el Intercam-bio de Beneficios de Salud de California (California Health Benefit Exchange).
Para empleadores con exención de impuestos, el crédito fiscal máximo es de 25 por ciento de los gas-tos de las primas de seguro de salud elegibles para los años fiscales 2010 a 2013, aumentando a 35 por ciento
en 2014.
¿Cómo reclamar el cré-dito fiscal?
El crédito fiscal para las empresas pequeñas entro en vigor inmediatamente después de la aprobación de la ACA (la nueva ley de aten-ción de salud) en 2010. Las empresas pequeñas pueden ahora reclamar el crédito en su declaración de impues-tos de 2010. Las pequeñas empresas que ya han pre-sentado su declaración de impuestos y luego determi-

“Today, the County of Santa Clara is establish-ing a cutting edge nutrition policy that is more compre-hensive than any nutrition policy in California,” said Supervisor Ken Yeager, who brought the recommenda-tion to establish nutrition guidelines to the Board. “We serve six million meals a year through the jails, hospital, juvenile ranches, and cafeterias, affecting thousands of people in our community. Each meal served is an opportunity to help educate the public on healthy eating and obesity.”
The new standards re-quire healthier food op-tions to be offered, includ-ing more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low fat and low calorie foods (low fat dairy, lean protein, lower fat versions of condiments), minimally processed foods – without added sugar and less sodium, prepare foods using healthy cooking tech-niques, foods that contain no trans fats (less than 0.5 grams/serving), offer small-er portion sizes, and make available vegetarian options.
Beverage standards state that no sugar-sweet-ened beverages (such as sugar sweetened soda) can be served. Tap wa-
ter, seltzer water, coffee, and/or unsweetened tea can be served, and water should be readily accessible.
“Being healthy begins with eating well,” said Dr. Marty Fenstersheib, Health Officer for Santa Clara County. “The new guidelines will provide in-creased access to healthy food and beverages, as well as promote healthy choices.”
The 2010 Health Pro-file report for Santa Clara County revealed that 50 percent of adults and 1 in 4 children are overweight or obese. These numbers are important because overweight and obesity has been shown to lead to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other chronic diseases.
In September 2010, Santa Clara County was awarded $3.6 million by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from funds authorized through the Affordable Care Act to implement a Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) - Obesity Preven-tion Initiative in Santa Clara County. This grant funding has allowed the Public Health Department to expand its countywide obesity prevention efforts in both the public and pri-vate sectors. The proposed
County Nutrition Stan-dards are a critical compo-nent in these overall efforts.
The Public Health De-partment, in collaboration with other County depart-ments, developed the com-prehensive set of County nutrition standards, which are based on best practice national guidelines, and ad-dress five different County food environments includ-ing meetings and events, food and beverages in vend-ing machines, cafeterias and cafes, county-leased properties, and custodial populations such as the jails.
The County nutrition standards were developed with three main goals: 1) To confirm and ensure that food and beverages pur-chased for custodial popu-lations with public dollars meet updated, national nutrition guidelines; 2) To improve access to healthy food choices by contract-ing with vendors who are creating food environments that provide the purchase of nutrient-rich foods; and 3) To further the cultural shift in support of health and wellness within the County system and to help serve as a model for other govern-mental jurisdictions and private sector businesses.

If you are struggling to put food on the table, Sec-ond Harvest Food Bank can help. Second Harvest launched its Food for Life campaign recently to ensure that everyone in our com-munity has access to the nutritious food they need for a healthy, productive life. In addition to provid-ing food to those in need, the Food Bank has stepped up its efforts to help local families and individuals apply for CalFresh (food stamps). Those who need food should call Second Harvest’s Food Connection hotline (800-984-3663) to see if they might be eligible for Calfresh or other food-assistance programs.
There are a number of mistruths around CalFresh that keep people from ap-plying for this critical food source. The truth about Cal-Fresh is:
• It will not harm your immigration status
• Your children will not

be required to serve in the military because you get it
• You don’t have to pay it back
• You don’t need to have children to be eligible
• You don’t have to work in exchange for getting it
• You can have a job and still get it
• You can own your own home and still qualify for it
Those who qualify for CalFresh are issued an EBT debit card that can be used at participating gro-cery stores and farmers’ markets. It works just like any other debit card.
“Having a debit card helps to remove some of the stigma that is sometimes associated with using Cal-Fresh,” said Cindy McCown,
senior director of Programs and Services at Second Harvest Food Bank. “Cal-Fresh puts food on the table and dollars into the local economy. Everyone benefits when people are able to buy healthy foods from their lo-cal grocery store or farmers’ market.”
CalFresh is the largest source of food assistance in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, followed by Sec-ond Harvest Food Bank. But only about half of those who are eligible for Cal-Fresh in the Food Bank’s two-county region partici-pate in the supplemental food program. In fact, par-ticipation rates in California are the lowest in the nation.
“The underutilization of CalFresh means that chil-dren and families are need-lessly going hungry every
day,” said McCown. “Our lo-cal community is also losing out on millions of dollars each year at a time when they are critically needed to pump up the sluggish econ-omy. We want to make sure everyone who is eligible has access to this critical source of supplemental food.”
Anyone who was unable to qualify for CalFresh in the past may want to try again.
New legislation supported by Second Harvest makes it easier to access this critical program. For example, fin-gerprinting will no longer be required starting next year. California was one of only a handful of states that required food stamp appli-cants to be fingerprinted. In addition, reports needed to maintain eligibility will be required semi-annually rather than quarterly.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties is the trusted leader dedicated to ending local hunger. Since its inception in 1974, Second
Harvest has become one of the largest food banks in the nation, providing food to an average of nearly one quarter of a million people each month. The Food Bank mobilizes individuals, companies and community partners to connect people to the nutritious food they need. Nearly half of the food distributed is fresh produce. Second Harvest also plays a leading role in promoting federal nutrition programs and educating families on how to make healthier food choices. Visit www.SHFB.org to get involved.

Coming from every cor-ner of California, and from dozens of Cal, Cal State and Community College cam-puses, thousands of stu-dents rallied in Sacramento yesterday to hold the line on higher education cuts and tuition in the State. Seventy students were arrested in the State Capitol Rotunda after hundreds of activists non-violently occupied the Capitol Rotunda for over 7 hours, while others lob-bied their representatives to fully fund education.
The rally was the culmi-nation of several days of ac-tion to “refund education” in California, beginning last Thursday with protests on 30 campuses statewide and a 99-Mile march of stu-dents and faculty from the Bay Area to Sacramento. The events were the follow-up to Novembers statewide campus protests, which suc-cessfully pressed the State

Hundreds Occupy Capitol Rotunda, Calling for Millionaires Tax, Freeze on Tuition Hikes and Spending Cuts – And Calling Out Governor’s Effort to Co-Opt Rally
to hold off on a proposed round of tuition increases.
“After experiencing the highest tuition hikes in the country, students came to Sacramento to tell Governor Brown enough is enough,” said Char-lie Eaton, an organizer with ReFund California.
In “people’s assemblies” inside the Capitol, protest-ers developed a list of de-mands for the legislature and the Governor. Number one was support for the “Millionaire’s Tax” ballot initiative, which would add $5-6b in revenue every year - including nearly $2b in dedicated funds for higher education- to support criti-cal social services that have been ravaged by state bud-get cuts. Other priorities included full funding for education statewide, and democratization of the UC and CSU board of regents. Chanting “hear us out or
we’ll vote you out,” stu-dents made clear through-out the day that they are squarely focused on the Governor and the Legisla-ture as the keys to refund-ing education in California.
Already the Governor is trying to claim the support as his own, declaring that the outpouring of enthusi-asm for a solution to the ed-ucation funding crisis was a show of support for a ballot initiative he supports, which is less popular and would generate less revenue than the Millionaire’s tax, while also increasing sales taxes.
Protesters pledged to keep the pressure on Gover-nor Brown and the legisla-ture back on their campuses, where the ReFund Califor-nia coalition will remain ac-tive throughout the Spring and plan further actions to demand an end to tuition hikes and education cuts.

La mediación puede ayudar
a acelerar la resolución de casos y evitar la litigación
La discriminación en el trabajo es un acto inapro-piado e ilegal.
El Gobierno de los Esta-dos Unidos tiene leyes que prohíben la discriminación en el empleo en base a fac-tores como edad, discapa-cidad, lugar de origen, raza, religión y sexo, entre otras cosas. Estas leyes protegen tanto a los empleados como a quienes están solicitando trabajo.
La Comisión para la Igualdad de Oportunidades en el Empleo (EEOC, por su sigla en inglés) es la agencia a cargo de hacer cumplir las leyes contra la discrimina-ción laboral a nivel federal. Cualquier persona que ha sido víctima de discrimina-ción puede presentar una queja ante esta agencia.
En 2011 la agencia recibió casi 100 mil quejas, una ci-fra récord. Asimismo, obtu-vo más de $455 millones en compensación para emplea-dos y aspirantes de trabajo. La información a continua-ción da una idea general so-bre cómo funciona el proce-so de presentar una queja.
Cómo presentar una queja
Se puede presentar una queja en persona o por co-rreo tradicional en cualquie-ra de las oficinas locales de la EEOC. Cabe mencionar que el proceso es distinto para empleados federales.
Generalmente se debe presentar una queja a más tardar 180 días después de
Cómo presentar una queja de discriminación de trabajo
la fecha en que ocurrió el in-cidente. Sin embargo, el pla-zo podría extenderse hasta 300 días dependiendo del tipo de discriminación ocu-rrido y las leyes antidiscri-minatorias de la región o estado en donde ocurrió el acto.
Se recomienda hablar a la oficina de la EEOC para preguntar cómo presentar una queja en persona. Para presentar una queja por co-rreo tradicional se necesita la siguiente información:
• Nombre, dirección y teléfono de la persona y del empleador
• Número de empleados que trabajan en la compañía (si se sabe)
• Una descripción del tipo de discriminación y por qué se piensa que la persona fue discriminada
• La fecha en que ocurrió el acto
• Firma de la víctima
Qué sucede durante una investigación
La EEOC evaluará la queja y se comunicará con el empleador en un perio-do de 10 días para solicitar más información sobre el incidente. También podría explorar las probabilidades de que ambas partes par-ticipen en un programa de mediación (ver más abajo).
Si se abre una investiga-
ción, los representantes de la agencia podrían visitar al empleador para obtener documentos y otros datos. Podrían también entrevis-tar a testigos por teléfono o pedirles documentos por correo tradicional.
La investigación podría durar varios meses depen-diendo de dónde se presentó la queja y si los involucrados intentan resolver el asunto a través de mediación.
Cómo funciona la media-ción
La mediación es una for-ma alternativa y efectiva de resolver conflictos relacio-nados a la discriminación laboral. Un mediador neu-tral ayuda a ambas partes a resolver sus diferencias sin determinar quién tiene la razón.
La mediación:
• Solo es posible si ambas partes acuerdan participar voluntariamente
• Podría ayudar a que el caso se resuelva más rápida-mente
• Podría reducir el tiem-po de una investigación y prevenir demandas legales
• Es gratis y confidencial

Si le preocupa no poder pagar sus impuestos so-bre los ingresos antes de la fecha de declaración de impuestos el 17 de abril de este año, no entre en páni-co; pero tampoco ignore el plazo y no espere a que el IRS lo contacte primero.
Si no presenta su declara-ción de impuestos federales de 2011 o no solicita una ex-tensión antes del 17 de abril de 2012, las sanciones sobre los impuestos adeudados aumentarán significativa-mente –por lo general un 5 por ciento adicional sobre los impuestos adeudados por cada mes total o parcial de atraso, más intereses, hasta una sanción máxima del 25 por ciento. Pero si pre-senta su declaración o ex-tensión de manera puntual, la sanción se reduce 10 ve-ces, hasta un 0,5 por ciento.
Algunas alterna-tivas de pago de im-puestos del IRS son:
¿No puede pagar sus impuestos? Intente con estos consejos
Pago con tarjeta de crédi-to. Se le cobrará un pequeño recargo que es deducible de impuestos si usted detalla gastos. Solo asegúrese de poder pagar completamen-te el saldo de su tarjeta de crédito en pocos meses, de lo contrario, los intereses acumulados podrían supe-rar el monto de la sanción.
Extensión a corto plazo. Si puede pagar el importe total dentro de los 120 días, llame al IRS al 800-829-1040 y consulte si califica para una extensión a corto plazo. De ser así, seguirá adeudando intereses pero evitará el cargo de solicitud.
Acuerdo de pago en cuo-tas. Si necesita más tiem-po, un acuerdo de pago en cuotas le permitirá pagar su cuenta en cuotas men-suales hasta cinco años. Si adeuda $10.000 o menos, se le asegurará un acuerdo de pago en cuotas siempre y cuando haya presentado y pagado todos sus impuestos de los últimos cinco años y
no haya solicitado ningún acuerdo de pago en cuo-tas durante dicho periodo.
Si adeuda $25.000 o menos y tiene un buen his-torial fiscal, aún podría calificar para un acuerdo de pago en cuotas; pero es posible que deba presen-tar una Declaración de In-formación de Cobranzas.
Para suscribir un acuer-do de pago en cuotas debe pagar una comisión de $105. Se reduce a $52 si establece un plan de pago por débito directo (o $43 para contribuyentes de ba-jos ingresos). Para conocer las reglas y presentar una solicitud, consulte la pu-blicación “Online Payment Agreement Application” en www.irs.gov o presente el Formulario 9465 del IRS.
Tenga en cuenta: Se acep-ta solamente una pequeña cantidad de ofrecimientos de transacción y debe recu-rrir a esta alternativa una vez que haya agotado todas las demás opciones de pago.

Dr. David Hayes-Bau-tista, Professor of Medicine and Health Services at the University of California Los Angeles, was doing research on Latinos in the United States during the Gold Rush and Civil War Eras when he made a significant discovery. As he was read-ing through the names of those who had been killed during the Civil War in California, he noticed some-thing that he considered to be significantly important. He noticed that many of the soldiers killed were Latinos.
“I read through the La-tino newspapers of that era and found out that La-tinos strongly supported the Union during the Civil War,” Hayes-Bautista said. “They were strongly against slavery, and the idea of an elite race. They believed in democracy and formed their own cavalries in California.”
During the first years of the Civil War, the Confeder-acy was winning most of the major battles and Lincoln’s approval rating was low throughout the country. All the Confederacy needed was for Mexico to recognize it as its own independent coun-try. In order for this to hap-pen, the Confederacy asked the French to intervene in Mexico’s political system and replace it with a Monar-
Cinco de Mayo: Truly an American Celebration
chy that would recognize the Confederacy. Mexico was already in debt to France and the Confederacy’s re-quest gave the country more reason to invade Mexico.
On 1861 the French be-gan their invasion of Mexico and on May 5, 1862, the French army reached the town of Puebla. Though they were heavily out num-bered and poorly equiped, the Mexican army was able to defeat the French, who was considered to be the best army at the time. The victory boosted the morale of Latinos fighting for the Union because it proved that a country in the Ameri-cas, who stood for equality and democracy, could defeat a powerful European mon-archy. It also prevented the Confederacy from expand-ing and reaching California.
The French returned a year later and conquered Mexico, installing Maximil-lion I as a monarchy. How-ever, by that point, the Union had begun to gain the upper hand on the Confederacy and did not have to fear Mexico’s new government.
“The battle at Puebla was an encouragement for Latinos fighting in the Civil War,” Hayes-Bautista said. “The battle helped boost support for the war throughout the country. References to the battle at Puebla were always made
when morale was low.”
Following the Civil War, veterans began to com-memorate the battle of Puebla every fifth of May by wearing their uniforms and reminiscing on how that particular battle made them believe that they where fighting for the right cause.
“However, as time passed, generations began to forget why this date is important to our history as Latinos in the United States,” Hayes-Bautista said. “They began to have wild parties and some ended up getting into trouble with the authorities.”
Today, Low riders, Ma-riachis, Coronas, are just a few of the elements as-sociated with the yearly Latino festival known as Cinco de Mayo. Some suggests the name of the celebration be changed to “Drinco de Mayo”.
Hayes-Bautista wants to change that. He wants to make sure that Latinos understand the significance of the battle of Puebla and that Latinos truly believe in equality and justice.
“There’s nothing wrong with partying and having a few beers to celebrate Cinco de Mayo,” Hayes-Bautista said. “But it is also impor-tant that Latinos under-stand their past in order to ensure a better future.”

Me gusta bailar el baile azteca porque me trae re-cuerdos muy bonitos de mi gente. Cuando era niña me gustaba mucho ver como la gente se unía en los días especiales y compartía no solo con sus familias sino con todo el pueblo de Mé-xico. Me gusta bailarle a la Virgen de Guadalupe y compartir con otros lo mis-mo. El bailar o tocar el tam-bor con jóvenes que tienen esa ansiedad de inspiración y de estar en un grupo que nos represente como cul-tura. El ver esto me dan más ánimos de seguir con ellos para que demuestren que no solamente personas de edad pueden bailar pero que ellos también pueden ser líderes. Deseo que el respeto a nuestra cultura continúe y sea la admira-ción de todos incluyéndo-nos a nosotros los mismos mexicanos. Lo que significa para mí el baile azteca es mi orgullo, mi gente, mi país con su riqueza en su cultura.
Yo comencé a bailar el baile azteca aquí en los Es-tados Unidos, mi hija ma-yor se intereso en este baile en la escuela y yo hice todo lo posible por ayudarla a que lo lograra. Después en su fiesta de quinceañera mi anhelo era tener el bai-le azteca para enseñarle a la gente nuestra cultura y lo bonito de nuestro país. Seguí con esta tradición con mis otras tres hijas, en la quinceañera de la más pequeña su hermana bailo para ella. Esto me motivo a unirme al grupo y mi hija la menor también se unió al Movimiento Cultural Aná-huac. Don Miguel Larios está a cargo de este grupo y con cariño, tiempo y respeto nos enseña, le gusta ense-ñarnos lo que él aprendió y sabe. Ahora mis cuatro hijas pertenecen a este grupo y con mucho orgullo les gusta representar nuestra cultura.

For over two decades, Miguel Larios has danced. By day he is a self-employed business owner, but by night he is an Aztec Dancer.
Originally he started dancing through church, but now Larios is the direc-tor of Moviemento Cultural Anahuac, an Aztec dance group. There is no one right way to keep the tradition alive; there are a lot of dif-ferent dance groups. Each beat has certain counts, an order, kind of like a song.
Each dancer must wear regalia while they perform. Basic dance regalia con-sists of a headpiece, ahuy-otes, tunics or loincloth, and a sonaja. The regalia also typically have a pic-ture of a god on the chest.
With the arrival of the Spanish, it was hard to preserve each dance and the regalia. Although some dances remain, it is known that they were changed throughout the years in or-der to abide by the new laws.
“We’re native people in our own land,” said Mit-lalpilli. “People should learn the language, the his-tory and dances, always be proud of who we are.”
Headpieces are differ-ent for men and women. The women’s headpiece, a diadema is tradition-ally made to be like a small crown. In more modern dance groups however, the diadema is larger. The feathers on the diadema can be any color, but typi-cally match whatever dress the dancer is wearing.
The diadema also has different markings than the penacho. The diade-ma features pictures of the moon, mother earth or the stars. These pic-tures are only found in women’s dance outfits.
The headpiece for the males, the penacho, is much larger in comparison. The penacho can range any-where from ten inches to over 20 inches long. The penacho can also tell what rank the dancer is. The length of the feathers and the height of the head-piece signify what rank the male dancer is. The penacho features draw-ings of leopards, tigers and animals to represent war.
Most of the feathers used for the headpieces are typically pheasant,eagle, or rooster feathers.
The ahyotes are the rat-tles that dancers wear on their ankles. Ahyotes are generally made from nuts that are dried. The noise made from the ahyotes sig-nifies hissing from a snake.
The sonaja is similar to the ahyotes but instead are at the dancer’s hands.
The shield is only used by men and is meant to honor
the gods. The shield is also a sign of war and power.
While it is common for most dancers to purchase their regalia, tradition-ally dancers make their own. Full complete regalia takes two months to create.
“Any Aztec dancer, should be able to make their own regalia, it’s sa-cred, it’s something im-portant,” said Larios.
Each piece of regalia must be earned. Attendance to practices, knowing the names of the steps, and performing the steps well as an individual are all the steps dancers must follow through to earn their rega-
lia and increase their rank. “It’s really important for the dancer to let the gods listen to you, you signal the gods to look at you,” said Larios.
“They can earn that rank through knowl-edge,” said Larios. “To be an Aztec dancer, you have to it in your blood.”
Throughout the years, San Jose has built the repu-tation of hosting one of the largest Aztec Mexica New Years celebrations. People all across the nation and the western hemisphere attend, creating unity amongst all native people. Keeping the tradition alive.

Santa Clara Valley Water District
In today’s economy ev-eryone knows about the val-ue of gold. But what many don’t realize is that there is an even more precious resource, water. And with rainfall shortages and re-strictions on our imported water supplies, groundwa-ter is proving to be more im-portant than ever. This year, in fact, it has been ground-water to the rescue for Santa Clara County. With record low rainfall, we will rely heavily on our groundwater supplies this summer which, thanks to the Santa Clara Valley Water District’s effec-tive groundwater recharge program, are in good shape.
Groundwater, our val-ley’s original water source, is water that flows beneath the surface through small pores and cracks in the rock and soil. Throughout the world, the majority of
Groundwater: more precious than goldavailable fresh water is in the form of groundwater. Due to the geography of our region, our groundwa-ter basins have a vast stor-age capacity, estimated to be two times the size of the district’s 10 surface res-ervoirs combined. This is why in Santa Clara County, nearly half of all water used comes from groundwater.
While groundwater ba-sins are naturally replen-ished by rainfall, natural recharge is not enough. In order to replenish the amount of groundwater pumped in Santa Clara County, the district has a groundwater recharge pro-gram to percolate local and imported water through recharge facilities, which include streams and 393 acres of recharge ponds. The recharge program al-lows us to capitalize on wet years by storing water for use during droughts and shortages. Actively man-
aging the groundwater basin also has the major benefit of preventing land subsidence, or land sur-face sinking, which is very damaging to property and costly to the community.
The water district also looks after the quality of our groundwater. Numerous sources can pollute ground-water, making it costly to treat or even unusable. Since the restoration of con-taminated groundwater can take years, decades, or lon-ger, the district aggressively protects the groundwater basins from contamina-tion and the threat of con-tamination. The district’s groundwater protection programs allow us to assess regional groundwater qual-ity, identify and evaluate threats, and help prevent or mitigate contamination.
This month we are cel-ebrating Groundwater Awareness Week (March 11-
17) by hosting a community open house on March 14 between 4 and 8 p.m. at the water district’s headquar-ters, located at 5750 Al-maden Expressway in San Jose. In addition to inform-ing the community about groundwater, this free event will provide the general public and neighbors with insight on water delivery, water treatment, water conservation, water supply, flood protection and en-
vironmental stewardship. Tours of the Los Alamitos percolation pond and Gua-dalupe River fish ladder will be provided and water mag-ic and short demonstrations for children are included as part of the event’s festivities.
Children are welcome and light refreshments will be served. Parking is plentiful and electric ve-hicle charge stations are available. RSVP at [email protected] or call
408-265-2607, ext. 2880.

Mayor Chuck Reed ac-companied by Vice-Mayor Madison Nguyen, and City Council members Rose Herrera, Pete Constant, and Sam Liccardo, pre-sented a strong case that underscored the need for having this matter pre-sented to the San Jose constituents for their vote on Tuesday, June 6, 2012.
The pension agree-ments being challenged, and which require adjust-ments, were established during economic times of the 1960’s, 1970’s and were not subjected to actu-arial analysis at that time.
The present experience directly reflects the con-cerns Mayor Reed voiced some two years ago when projections revealed that pension obligations would swamp the general fund of the City of San Jose. The choice would be to pay for the pension agreements entered into in the past or to enter into negotiations to decide a level of pension payouts which would not se-verely restrict the essential public safety services which the city’s residents expect and require. If one looks at the Police Department, in FY 2001/02, total FTE’s were 1887 and pension
City of San Jose Pension Retirement Reform
payouts amounted to $203 million. In FY 2011/12, to-tal FTE’s were 1511 (a reduc-tion of 376 employees) with a pension payout of $299 million (a 47% increase).
The City’s two retire-ment plans have billions of dollars in unfunded li-abilities and this year’s retirement costs totaled $245 million, $192.8 mil-lion of this came from the General Fund which leads to the closure of libraries, reduction of services, etc.
A concern of Council member Rose Herrera is that of equity. Why pay out these high levels of retire-ment funds to individu-als who are now retired when many in the city are unemployed or underem-ployed as a consequence of this lengthy economic recession? It is these un-employed who need the services, which are being ‘reduced’ by these extremely high retirement payouts.
It is therefore not sur-prising that a 8 to 3 vote, the San Jose City Council voted to place this retire-ment pension matter on the June 6th ballot. In fact, a revised ballot mea-sure prepared by the City Manager, based on issues discussed with all unions, is the measure that the vot-ers will accept or reject.
There is a lot of mean-ingless rhetoric being pre-sented by those who speak for certain bargaining units. Remember that this situation was created dur-ing the 1950’s when the economy was very good. It was a wrong assump-tion to project ‘a very good economy’ without interrup-tion because Silicon Valley has experienced the Dot-Com bust and the current recession, as well as other downturns, which all result in decreased tax revenues. From now on, all long term contracts, especially labor retirement agreements, must be subjected to rigor-ous actuarial analysis. The City of San Jose’s Mayor was correct in his place-ment of the impact of these few retirement agreements which were ‘approved’ by prior City Councils when proposed by union lead-ers of those times, some 50 years ago. All retirement plans need to be required to be on a ‘pay as you go’ basis.
The voters will decide whether to pay for exces-sive retirement agree-ments entered years ago or to keep today’s general funds doing what they were intended to support: adequate city services of all kinds. We shall know what these constituents de-cide this coming June 6th.

Beginning March 16, Movimiento de Arte y Cul-tura Latino Americana (MACLA) will present the world premiere of Voces del Desierto (Voices of the Desert), a performance that utilizes video, tradi-tional wind instruments, and hand-made instru-ments created from im-migrants’ personal belong-ings found at the border.
Voces del Desierto is an original concept by Mexi-can composer Guillermo Galindo, created specifi-cally for Quinteto Latino.
“This piece is dedicated to all of those who dare to cross borders in order to get a better life, and, that extends to all sorts of bor-ders, imaginary borders, political borders, social borders, gender borders, all of the borders that exist that divides us as a soci-ety,” said Galindo. “There’s only certain people that are brave enough to cross them and this piece is dedi-cated to all of those people.”
Galindo started compos-ing at the age of 10. Since then, he has dedicated his life to writing music. He studied composition at Berkeley’s college of music and completed his masters at Mills College in Oakland. Over the years, he has writ-ten for several orchestras, has two symphonies, two
Voces del Desierto World Premiereoperas, chamber works, and creates soloist pieces.
“A year ago, Guillermo, the composer and I went to the border of Mexico and the United States and picked up objects that mi-grants crossing the border had dropped,” said Arman-do Castellano, french horn.
They went to the town of Laredo, Texas, by the Rio Grande where they walked the border, walked the routes and trails, picking up items left behind to be later used for the development of additional instruments.
“It’s a lot of work, the piece is very unique and the way we’re playing the in-struments is unique,” said Castellano. “It’s been fan-tastic to have the opportu-nity to create art like this and it’s written just for us.”
Galindo worked individ-ually with the members of Quinteto Latino, who have been playing together for 8 years, developing different techniques not commonly used with the wind instru-ments- using those tech-niques to take the viewer to the desert they visited.
“I explore breathing into the instruments,” said Galindo. “It’s very exciting.”
The musician’s breathes of air will remind the viewer that there was once life at the desert and will continue to be as long as immigrants are left with no choice, but
to flee their home country.
The Quinteto Latino which includes a flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon, had several meet-ings to discuss every single sound that can be made from their instruments. The composer, who plays the in-struments created by the found objects, joins them, creating a landscape of what they saw at the border.
Some of the instruments incorporate a shoe, found by the river, bones, float tubes, a back pack, and cans. Some of the articles of clothing were still wet while the oth-ers were covered in dirt.
With such strong emo-tions surrounding im-migration, these musi-cians pay homage to all
the lives lost and the ones in search of a better life.
The performances are commissioned by MACLA, with funding from the
Wallace Gerbode Founda-tion and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

The long winter months have everyone itching to get out and do something new. For many Americans, this means planning a much-needed vacation - away from winter, work and school.
With the travel bug in your head, take advantage of these saving tips to make the most out of your vaca-tion:
• Check out any bun-dling deals on hotels, air-fare, car rentals and special tours through travel web-sites. Booking several op-tions through one package can help you reduce prices. Some airlines have partner-ships with car rental com-panies, which can help save you money. Take the time to research these options thoroughly, and you’ll be re-warded with good savings.
• Stock up on travel ac-cessories like baggage, e-readers and of course any clothing items needed to make a fashion statement
Save money on your spring travel plans
on your trip. When search-ing online, use discount sites like Ebates.com. In ad-dition to coupon codes and discounts on items found on your favorite travel sites, Ebates also offers you cash back on your purchases. For example, if you book your hotel stay at Holiday Inn through Ebates.com, you’ll be able to take advantage of coupon savings, and once your purchase is completed, earn 4.5 percent of the total purchase price as cash back. Use those earnings to pur-
chase an extra something special on your trip - like a spa visit or a fun tour.
• If you can travel earlier in March, or later in April or even May, you might find better deals because fewer families are traveling during those times due to school schedules. Or if you have flexibility in the day you travel, you might dis-cover airfares leaving on a Tuesday or Wednesday are a better price than leaving on a Friday or Saturday.
When trying to save money use travel vouchers and coupons.

Ghastly, according to the Merriam-Webster diction-ary, is the word defines as intensely unpleasant, dis-agreeable, or objectionable, terrifyingly horrible to the senses. It is the perfect word to describe Johnny Xavier, a rebel from outer space who was sent to Earth because he refused to be a conform-ist in the sci-fi dark com-edy musical romance, “The Ghastly Love of Johnny X.”
The film was shot in Ghastlyscope (the last of Kodak’s 35mm black and white Plus X film stock) and stars Will Keenan (Johnny X) and De Anna Joy Brooks (Bliss, Johnny’s estranged girlfriend). The film also stars Creed Bratton (The Office), Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), Kate Maberly (The Secret Garden), Paul Williams (Phantom of the Paradise) and the late Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the
The Ghastly One Invades Cinequest
Body Snatchers) in his final role. It was written by Steve Bingen, Paul Bunnell, Mark D. Murphy, and George Wagner. Paul Bunnell di-rected the film as well.
The reason Johnny, and The Ghastly Ones (Johnny’s
gang of misfits) were sent to earth was because Johnny stole a suit that, when used, could control the actions of whoever he wishes. The only way they could re-turn to their home planet was if they performed a
good deed while on earth.
After a year of roam-ing the Earth, Johnny’s estranged girlfriend, Bliss, decides that she’s had enough of Johnny’s she-nanigans and abandons
The Ghastly Ones, taking the suit with her. Thus be-gins a wild game of ‘cat and mouse’ across the desert.
Along the way, Bliss meets Chip, a server at a roadside dinner, and per-
suades him to help her escape from the Ghastly Ones. Also, Johnny meets someone named King Clayton, a shameless mu-sic promoter. Clayton also promises to help Johnny, catch Bliss and retrieve the suit, if he could resurrect his biggest act Mikey O’Flynn, The Man With the Grin, to perform one last concert. Johnny is compelled to do so because he believes this is the good deed he needs to do in order to get he and his gang back to their home planet. He also has a deeper connection with Mickey O’Flynn that no one else seems to know about.
Love and hate, suspense and comedy are blended perfectly in this sci-fi melo-drama, song-and-dance big screen spectacular.
The film can be seen on March 11 at 4:45 pm at the San Jose Repertory Theatre.

En esta semana que transcurrió me entere de ciertas cositas que les quiero platicar, la primera es sobre un talento colombiano, ha-blo de Leonardo Ojeda Ruiz estudiante del Tecnológi-co de Monterrey campus Guadalajara. El proyecto de este joven es nada menos que un robot, que es con-trolado por la mente; Leo-nardo manda señales a una computadora por medio de una diadema que se coloca dichas señales envían las órdenes al robot por señal bluetooth. Este robot to-davía es un prototipo pero esperemos escuchar más so-bre este joven y su proyecto.
Por otro lado en esta se-
Tecnología Para Entretenermana hemos estado viendo películas del famoso festival Cinequest en donde utili-zan lo último en tecnolo-gía. Cuentan con pantallas táctiles por las cuales pue-des mandar tus califica-ciones según hayan sido de tu agrado dichas películas todo esto en tiempo real. Esto sirve para que las pe-lículas puedan ser vistas el último día del festival.
También les quiero co-mentar algo sobre Goo-gle Play el lugar en donde puedes encontrar de todo, películas, música, libros y aplicaciones para tu telé-fono Android. Lo que mas me llamo la atención es el “rent of the day” por solo 25 centavos el día, pero los precios varían entre los
2.99 y los 3.99, se podría decir que está compitiendo con el la tienda de aplica-ciones de Apple, Netflix y Itunes, esta nueva adquisi-ción de Google parece que ocasionara dolor de cabe-za a mas de una persona.
Para terminar Apple lanza una actualización de dos de sus productos el iPad (Resolutionary) y Apple TV, el primero cuenta con cámara de 5 mega pixeles y con Isight la cual captu-ra video en 1080p, el video es mostrado en calidad de 2048 x 1536 esto significa que tu televisión tiene solo 1920 x 1080. Es el mismo estilo que contiene el iPho-ne 4S, este tipo de cámara contiene 5 lentes internos con los cuales puedes tener
una mejor definición en tus fotos. Lo que más me llama la atención es el Dictation, es un comando de voz en el cual ya no vas a tener que teclear sino solamente dic-tar, también puede trabajar con aplicaciones de ter-
cera persona (third party) como Facebook y Twitter.
Esperando que se lle-gue la fecha de Marzo 16 que será cuando empeza-ran a mandar por correo las órdenes tomadas por
Apple me despido y espero que me manden un email para saber si ustedes com-prarían el nuevo iPad o no.

Life can be difficult for some students living in East San Jose. There is pressure from their parents to get good grades, or to get a job, to help the family financially. There is also pressure from their peers to join gangs.
These students turn to soccer as a way to escape the pressures of living in East San Jose. However, many of them are not aware that soc-cer can take them places they never thought they could go.
Luciano Zamora of the East San Jose Futbol Club wants to use soccer to help these students get their lives going in the right direction.
“Many of these kids do not know how far their soc-cer skills can take them,” Zamora says. “We want to expose them to the vari-ous soccer clubs through-out the area that they could join, instead of getting themselves into trouble.”
The East San Jose Fut-bol Club has teamed up with San Jose State’s soc-cer team to teach the stu-dents the basics and fun-damentals of soccer and on Sunday, March 4; students from James Lick, Mount Pleasant, Yerba Buena and Overfelt were invited to Spartan Stadium to par-ticipate in a soccer clinic.
Two students from each high school were selected by their coaches and each were to pay $75 to partici-pate in the clinic. However, Zamora was able to secure enough funds from local sponsors so that none of the students had to pay to participate in the clinic.
“These kids are excited to be playing in this stadium, this environment,” Zamora says. “Head Coach Gary St. Clair and the staff at the San Jose State soccer have been very helpful in putting this event together. St. Clair even offered to pay for one of the students to participate.”

San Jose Futbol Club also want to remind the students that it is important to keep their grades up throughout high school and beyond.
“These students must maintain a certain GPA while they participate in the soccer clinics that we put together,” Zamora says. “Without good grades, these students will not get anywhere in life. We want them to get a higher education, especially here in Silicon Valley where it takes more than just a high
school diploma to make it.”
The East San Jose Fut-bol Club and the San Jose State soccer team will continue their partner-ship and provide ‘no pay to play’ soccer clinics to teach the fundamentals of soccer to students in both middle and high school.
“We are working on forming an academy where the 7-12 year olds compete within themselves so there is no pressure on the stu-dents,” Zamora says. “We

will create two travel teams for the boys and girls be-tween the ages of 13-18.”
The Club is current-ly looking for sponsors for the academy as well as other soccer clinics.
“We want to get the best coaches and best equip-ment so that the kids will be excited about partici-pating in these types of clinics,” Zamora says.

La torera michoacana Hilda Tenorio resultó la más destacada de la corrida fe-menil y 19 de la Temporada Grande 2011-12 en la Plaza México, al dar la única vuel-ta al ruedo entre el reconoci-miento del público asistente.
En este festejo, que sir-vió para conmemorar el Día Internacional de la Mujer, estuvieron también la espa-ñola Mari Paz Vega y la yu-cateca Lupita López, quie-nes estuvieron voluntariosas y valientes, pero al final no pudieron salir con trofeos.
Se lidiaron seis toros de la ganadería de San Judas Ta-deo, que tuvieron una desta-cada presencia, aunque un juego bastante irregular y complicado, el cual puso en aprietos a las tres toreras.
Abrió la malagueña Vega con “Peje” de 480 kilos, con el salió decidida y con mu-chas ganas de agradar, con un trasteo variado y valiente, el cual no pudo redondear, a pesar del empeño puesto. Despachó de estocada tra-sera y se fue con ovaciones.
Con “Don Chava” de 500 kilos, Mari Paz logró otro trasteo valiente, en aras de agradar, al aprovechar su experiencia en los rue-dos, sin embargo, el toro poco ayudó para malo-grar el buen intento. Mató

con pinchazo y descabe-llos y se retiró con palmas.
La moreliana Tenorio lidió a “Gordo” de 476 ki-los, con el que hilvanó una faena voluntariosa y va-liente, en la que su mérito y entrega destacó, pero ante el soso rival ya no pudo mejorar, para escuchar una ovación, luego de pin-char y dejar una estocada.
Con “Chepino” de 495 kilos, Hilda mejoró en los tres tercios con otra labor entregada y empeñosa, al hilvanar tandas seguidas y bien rematadas, a pe-sar del poco recorrido que tuvo el astado. Malogró su labor con la espada y todo quedó en vuelta al ruedo.
La yucateca López lidió a “Don Arturo” de 479 ki-los, con el que se esforzó y batalló de más, luego que el burel no ayudó, de ahí que su labor resultó discreta y de poca emoción para el públi-co. Mató con estocada de-lantera y se fue con palmas.
Terminó Lupita con “Co-petón” de 478 kilos, con el que buscó lucir sin lograr-lo, a pesar de su empeño y valor. Sufrió un resbalón y se salvó de recibir una cornada. Luego de sufrir, la yucateca mató con va-rios pinchazos y media ra-ción y se fue con aplausos.
La yucateca Lupita López, quien estuvo voluntariosa y valiente, pero al final no pudo salir con trofeo.

El artista reveló que a
cada uno de sus personajes “los elimino de mi vida. No te puedo decir realmente cómo va a ser la muerte porque va a ser una sorpresa, pero sí van a haber decorados, 40 actores, aproximadamente, trabajando en el escenario y todo lo que no es normal se podrá ver en el espectáculo”.
El cantante explicó que en cada disco mata a sus personajes: Tras la muer-te de “El Ídolo” (primer personaje de la trilogía de Adanowsky), nació “Ama-dor”, su nuevo alter ego y título de su segundo álbum.
“La muerte de Amador”, como se titula el “show”, correrá a cargo de Alejan-dro Jodorowsky, padre del

Asimismo, explicó que para este concierto buscaba a alguien que lo pudiera en-tender, por lo que buscó a su padre y le dijo: “eres el único loco que me puede dirigir porque pensamos igual, en-tonces me indicó ‘está bien, con mucho gusto lo haré’.
Sin embargo, explicó que con 10 años de carrera le ha costado que lo tomen en cuenta, ya que en un principio nadie creía en él.
