Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E, por sus siglas en inglés) alerta a sus clientes sobre estafas que afectaron a personas de todo el país. La estafa re-portada, que puede ser eje-cutada en persona, a través de medios sociales, folletos y mensajes de texto, dice que el presidente Barack Oba-ma está proveyendo crédito o pagando directamente las facturas de servicios públi-cos. En algunos casos, se ha pedido a clientes su número de seguridad social el cual se utilizaría para los falsos pagos.

PG&E le recuerda a sus clientes que los represen-tantes de PG&E no pedi-rán información personal o bancaria por teléfono.

PG&E ofrece los siguien-tes consejos para evitar es-tafas:

• Los clientes deberán preguntar siempre por la identificación antes de per-mitir el acceso a su domici-lio a cualquier persona que alegue ser un representante

Advertencia de PG&E a sus clientes sobre una estafa a nivel nacional referente a los servicios públicos

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com MAY 25 - MAY 31, 20124 OPINION

At least 75% of the reg-istered voters of the County of Santa Clara have opted to “Vote by Mail”. This has changed the traditional dynamics of ‘getting out the vote’ because those who have campaigns have to get their message out to the voters by mid-May if the June 5th Presiden-tial Primary Election out-comes are to be influenced.

Why should the Latino voter be concerned? In Cali-fornia Latinos make up 42% of the population. However, this large population does not get transformed into public policy influence or power if Latino citizens do not register, learn about the pubic policy issues, and vote in their own interests. Also, no one knows how many mail-in votes were diverted from the polls by individuals who improperly posed as “couriers” for the Registrar of Voters. If any-one asks you to give them your mail-in ballot, which they promise to deliver to the local polling location, do not give up your mail-in ballot. It would be advis-able to phone 408-299-Vote to let the Registrar of Vot-ers know that this unfair, illegal and unauthorized activity is being perpetrat-ed. So, be aware and alert.

Why bring this up? Be-cause many factions have a deep interest in delaying the resolution of the current pension plan agreements which were never fully funded back in the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’’s. No ac-tuarial analysis was con-ducted which would have informed the City of San Jose of the set-aside funding needed to meet future pen-

LET DEMOCRACY WORK

sion plan obligations. As a consequence, the most im-portant public policy issue in San Jose today is the res-olution and reconciliation of the pension plans. Mayor Chuck Reed was right on the mark to call attention to the reality that soon some 75% or more of any and all San Jose City revenues would be used to pay for unfunded pension plans, which are coming due as city staff reach retirement age. Some union members end up get-ting 90% of their wages as ‘retirement funds’. Very nice for those who benefit, however the rest of us never see that kind of retirement benefit. And, why should we be asked to pay for city ser-vices which never benefited our families or businesses?

The fair thing to do is to renegotiate a reasonable modified retirement agree-ment. But that is not going to happen because no union executive will put forward a reasonable plan for fear of losing the union leader-ship position currently held.

Already, the propagan-da-hit pieces have been sent. One email hit piece targeted City Council member Rose Herrera, who had the cour-age to support a reasonable pension plan settlement process even though she was elected with ‘union support’. If any reconciliation/resolu-

tion of those unfunded pen-sion obligations is to be re-solved, then the voters need to re-elect Rose Herrera and elect others who will sup-port a reasonable pension plan settlement. And the threat to ‘take this matter to court’ will only add to the expense and the many dis-putes which benefit no one. Prior mayors and city coun-cils did not do their jobs, so in a way, there was no ‘com-plete pension plan package’ because its actuarial re-quirements were never cal-culated nor funded. Hence, one can argue that no pen-sion agreement exists since it was not fully described in detail with accountabil-ity and responsibility de-fined for all stakeholders.

If local democratic gov-ernance is to succeed, then elected officials must be allowed to support public policy which provides for the ‘greater good’ which benefits the most people. If local special interest groups demand that their support means that, without fail, an elected official is beholden to vote in a manner that benefits that special inter-est, then representative de-mocracy is thwarted from the beginning. It is these sorts of actions and expecta-tions which have paralyzed democratic governance at local, county, state, and federal levels. The predict-able outcome is the future bankruptcy of all levels of our democratic governance because of a lack of moral and ethical standards which ensure ‘common sense fair-ness’ to all stakeholders. We must let democracy work for the benefit of all.

Está comprobado que el uso del cinturón de segu-ridad es una de las formas más efectivas de salvar vi-das, pero una de cada cinco personas deciden no usarlo cuando conducen o viajan en un vehículo motori-zado en Estados Unidos.

La iniciativa Abrochado o Multado de la Administra-ción Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en las Carreteras - NHTSA – del Departa-mento de Transportación hace una colaboración con la policía en cada estado en los EEUU para hacer una campaña de forzar que to-dos los ocupantes de vehícu-los usen en todo momento un cinturón de seguridad.

Tomar precauciones y usar los mecanismos de se-guridad al manejar hace posible que conductores y pasajeros estén segu-ros en las carreteras del país. Un cinturón de se-guridad puede marcar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte… y una multa.

De acuerdo con el NHT-SA que este año impulsará su campaña Abrochado o Multado del 21 de mayo al 3 de junio, los cinturones de

Abrochado o Multadoseguridad salvaron 13,250 vidas en el 2008. Si todos los pasajeros de 5 años o mayores hubieran usado el cinturón de seguridad, se habrían podido salvar 17,402 vidas ese mismo año, es decir 4,152 vidas más.

La misma fuente indica que en 2010, el índice de uso del cinturón de segu-ridad fue de 85 por ciento comparado con 58 por cien-to en 1994 y que cuando se utilizan los cinturones de seguridad, se disminu-yen las probabilidades de una lesión mortal en un 45 por ciento en el caso de los pasajeros que via-jan en el asiento delantero.

Y es que vale la pena re-cordar que un conductor o desplazado de su vehí-culo con violencia puede sufrir lesiones graves o morir instantáneamente.

La decisión es nuestra. Solo nosotros podemos elegir si nos inclinaremos por la arrogancia de pasar por encima de las precau-ciones establecidas y ne-garnos a usar el cinturón.

Es bueno recaudar que las autoridades están al acecho de los infracto-res y que no abrocharse el cinturón de seguridad es una infracción de tránsito.

Todos salimos perdiendo si no nos abrochamos el cin-turón. El uso del cinturón de seguridad disminuye en un 50 por ciento las pro-babilidades de morir o sa-lir gravemente lesionado a causa de un choque. Igual-mente, el uso de un asien-to de seguridad apropiado para la edad y el peso de los niños que viajan como pasajeros disminuye en un 71 por ciento las probabi-lidades de que este mue-ra a causa de un choque.

De acuerdo con infor-mación recopilada por NHTSA entre 1975 y 2008 unos 8,959 niños meno-res de 5 años se salvaron gracias al uso de meca-nismos como asientos o cinturones de seguridad.

¿Qué impide que nos comprometamos a usar el cinturón de seguri-dad cuando viajamos?

¿Qué podemos per-der asegurándonos de que nuestros pasajeros se abrochen el cinturón?

No siempre estará en nuestras manos impedir un accidente, pero si está en nuestras manos hacer lo que sea necesario para pro-tegernos a nosotros mismos y a nuestros seres queridos.

Not sure what to do this Memorial Day Week-end? How about taking a break from the barbeque grill and sitting back to enjoy some of San Jo-se’s finest ballet dancers.

On May 27, Ballet San Jose will be at the California Theatre in Downtown San Jose for their Spring Per-formances. It is an oppor-tunity to see students from the Ballet San Jose School perform in both the Open and Professional Divisions.

The Open Division will perform at 2:00 p.m., and the Professional Division will perform at 4:00 p.m.

“Each performance is one hour long and the students have been preparing spe-cifically for this show since March,” said Dalia Rawson, principal at Ballet San Jose. “But developing the tech-nique and artistry required for this type of performance has taken years of training.”

There are approxi-mately 170 children in the 2:00PM show. This in-cludes students from the Open Division, ages 4-12, and the most advanced students in the Profes-sional Division, ages 14-18.

In the 4:00PM Profes-sional Division show, there are approximately 100 stu-dents performing, ages 9-18.

“I chose to put together the work “Fête” for our ad-vanced students because I wanted to give them the chance to perform some of the most famous sections of the great classical bal-lets, including excerpts from “Giselle,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “La Bayadere,” “Paquita,” and “Le Corsaire,” Rawson said. “The process of learn-ing and performing these variations has given our ad-vanced students the oppor-tunity to grow both techni-cally and as artists. We at

Ballet San Jose Spring Performances

Ballet San Jose School are lucky to have on our Fac-ulty Ballet Master Le Mai Linh, a former dancer at Ballet San Jose, who is an exceptional coach of clas-sical variations, having participated in numerous international ballet compe-titions, both as a competi-tor and as a coach, at which dancers compete by per-forming famous works from the classical repertoire”

The school has also cre-ated a new partnership with American Ballet Theatre in New York City, which will make it the exclusive west coast institution certified in all levels of the ABT Na-tional Training Curriculum.

“Two of the very best instructors in the coun-

try will be coming to San Jose Wednesday, May 30 through Monday, June 4th to conduct Master Classes that are open to the pub-lic, ages 8 through adult,” said Lee Kopp, marketing director at Ballet San Jose. “Franco De Vita, Principal of the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at ABT and Raymond Luken, Artistic Associate, ABT/NYU Mas-ters Program and Director of the ABT National Train-ing Curriculum, are the co-authors of the curriculum.”

Interested students or their parents can get more information by call-ing 408.288.2820 x223 or emailing the school at” [email protected]. Class fees are only $15 per class.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com MAY 25 - MAY 31, 20126 RECIPE

famiLy featuReSFood always seems to taste better when enjoyed outdoors. No matter the occasion or location, these packable, snackable recipes are foods fit for a fabulous picnic.

Bean Salad Stuffed Shells are a simple, flavorful, portable appetizer. Jumbo shells filled with a can of 3 or 4 bean salad, herbs and cheese make great finger food.

Baby Beet and Farro Salad is an easy pack-and-go side. Whole pickled baby beets — just right for one bite — are the star of this whole grain salad, tossed with Dijon mustard dressing.

Picnic Sandwiches with Pickled Beet-Mango Slaw, piled high with deli meats, goat cheese and a tangy-sweet slaw can be made ahead. Wrapped tightly and re-frigerated for several hours, the flavors meld deliciously.

Warm weather classic lemonade gets a ruby-red makeover. Simply add antioxidant rich beets to frozen lemonade concentrate, and Pink Lemonade is ready to enjoy.

A Tex-Mex inspired picnic of Southwestern Marinat-ed Chicken with Bean Salad is a meal all its own. The grilled chicken — marinated in liquid from a can of southwestern bean salad — pairs perfectly with the bean salad for a fast fiesta that can be served warm or chilled — just add tortillas and perhaps a margarita.

En el estudio hecho en el laboratorio a ratones con de-ficiencia de la proteína Bcl10 se les protegió del desarrollo de resistencia a la insulina mediante la alimentación con una dieta de alto conte-nido graso. Las conclusiones se publicarán el 31 de mayo en la revista Cell Reports.

La insulina ayuda a con-trolar el azúcar en la sangre,

pero la resistencia a la insu-lina puede conducir a niveles anormalmente altos de azú-car en la sangre que son la característica de la diabetes. La resistencia a la insulina puede ocurrir como parte del síndrome metabólico, un conjunto de condiciones que incrementta el riesgo de desarrollar la diabetes tipo 2 y enfermedades cardiacas.

En la actualidad mi-llones de personas en Es-tados Unidos tienen ex-ceso de peso o son obesas aumentan la diabetes tipo 2 y el síndrome metabólico.

“El estudio muestra asi-mismo cómo los cambios de muy corto plazo en la dieta, como por ejemplo el comer comidas con alto contenido

graso por unos pocos días, y aún menos quizá, puede inducir un estado de resis-tencia a la insulina”, dijo el autor senior del estudio Meter C. Lucas, profesor asociado de patología en la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Michigan.

Los investigadores co-menzaron estudiando la forma en que los ácidos grasos libres inducen la in-flamación y obstruyen la acción de la insulina en el hígado. Se cree que el híga-do es un blanco principal para los efectos dañinos de los ácidos grasos libres.

En el hígado los ácidos grasos libres son metabo-lizados y producen diacil-gliceroles antes de inducir

la respuesta inflamatoria. Los diacilgliceroles también activan el señalador NF-kB que se ha vinculado con el cáncer y las enfermedades metabólicas y vasculares.

El equipo investigador concluyó que se necesita de la Bcl10 para que los ácidos grasos induzcan la infla-mación y la resistencia a la insulina. En el estudio los ratones con deficiencia de Bcl10 mostraron una mejo-ría significativa en la regula-ción del azúcar en la sangre.

“Nos sorprendió encon-trar que la Bcl10, una pro-teína que antes se conocía por su papel crítico en la respuesta celular de inmu-nidad a la infección, des-empeña también un papel

crítico en la respuesta del hígado a los ácidos gra-so”, dijo Lucas. “Éste es un ejemplo de cómo la natura-leza se apropia de un meca-nismo fundamental para el sistema de inmunidad y lo usa en un órgano metabó-lico, en este caso el hígado”.

“Estas conclusiones”, dijo la coautora senior Lynda McAllister Davis, profesora asociada de he-matología y oncología pe-diátricas, “revelan un papel nuevo e importante para la Bcl10, y podrían condu-cir a ideas novedosas en el tratamiento de los pa-cientes con síndrome me-tabólico y diabetes tipo 2”.

With an official Resolu-tion, the Santa Clara Coun-ty Board of Supervisors recognized the successful partnership between the El Camino HospitalDistrict (ECHD) and Santa Clara County Valley Medical Cen-ter (SCVMC) in providing medical and dental services for uninsured families at Valley Health Center (VHC) Sunnyvale. The resolution was presented by Supervisor Liz Kniss, whose District is served by VHC Sunnyvale.

Over the past three years, ECHD has donated a total of $3.8 million to under-write otherwise un-funded services at VHC Sunnyvale to help nearly 14,000 pa-tients receive cost-effective primary care and dental services, avoiding inevita-ble emergent medical and dental crises that would require significantly more

Valley Medical Centermoney to treat. El Camino Hospital and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center have been developing programs and support systems as part of readying the County for health care reform. An important element of the partnership is fully devel-oping the “patient-centered medical home” model in which all care is provided in one place, by a team of health care providers.

“This support has em-powered VHC Sunnyvale to build a medical home and that’s key because pa-tients are getting all the care they need in one stop,” said Chris Wilder, Valley Medical Center Founda-tion’s Executive Director. “When we and El Camino Hospital District team up to provide care for patients, we are improving health outcomes, and reducing trips to the emergency room and return trips to doctors.”

Recent cuts in Cali-fornia’s state budget have resulted in reductions in coverage for critically im-portant preventive services for Santa Clara County resi-dents using Medi-Cal, leav-ing many more people with-out health care coverage.

“This wonderful partner-ship allows us to improve the health of our communi-ties with patient-centered healthcare to bring preven-tion, wellness and easy ac-cess to health for our com-munity members,” said Barbara Avery, El Camino Hospital’s Director of Com-munity Benefit. “We are honored that Supervisor Kniss recognized the im-portance of this partnership and how it is truly a model collaboration between a public health system and a non-profit hospital district.”

Un análisis poblacional de gran tamaño en pacien-tes de los Estados Unidos que recibieron un diagnós-tico de cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas (NS-CLC), indica que los pacien-tes hispanos de raza blanca presentan una superviven-cia general más favorable que los blancos o negros no hispanos, de acuerdo con un informe publicado el 23 de abril en la edición elec-trónica de la revista Cancer. Los investigadores también hallaron que los hispanos de raza blanca tenían índi-ces más altos de un subti-po de NSCLC que tiene un pronóstico más favorable que otros subtipos de la en-fermedad, en comparación con los blancos no hispanos.

El doctor Brian Lally y sus colegas en la Universidad de Miami analizaron la infor-

mación de más de 172 000 pacientes de la base de datos Vigilancia, Epidemiologia y Resultados Finales (SEER) del NCI que habían recibi-do el diagnóstico de NSCLC entre 1988 y 2007. Entre las variables clínicas que po-drían explicar las diferen-cias en la supervivencia, los investigadores encontraron que los subtipos de NSCLC asociados a una supervi-vencia más larga eran más frecuentes en los hispanos de raza blanca, en parti-cular el subtipo llamado carcinoma broncoalveolar.

Los autores observaron que estudios previos habían indicado que los hispanos blancos tenían una mejor supervivencia que los pa-cientes blancos y negros no hispanos en relación a va-rias enfermedades, como las cardiovasculares, el cán-

cer de mama y el cáncer de próstata. “Anteriormente, este hallazgo se había ca-lificado como la ‘paradoja hispana’, porque los hispa-nos blancos en los Estados Unidos tienden a contar con menos recursos y tienen menos acceso a la atención médica que los blancos no hispanos, y también tien-den a presentar un índice de pobreza similar al de los ne-gros”, indicaron los autores.

“Los resultados de nues-tro análisis permiten su-poner que los diferentes fenotipos moleculares del NSCLC podrían resultar de la interacción entre facto-res genéticos y ambientales que estarían relacionados con el origen étnico”, di-jeron los investigadores. Concluyeron que es nece-sario llevar a cabo más es-tudios sobre estos factores.

The San Jose City Council voted unanimously to place the minimum wage ordi-nance on the November 6th ballot on Tuesday, May 22.

The minimum wage ordinance would raise city’s minimum wage from the state’s $8 per hour to $10 per hour.

In January, San Jose State University profes-sor Scott-Meyers Liption and his class started the minimum wage increase campaign as a final proj-ect for their sociology class.

The City Council de-cided Tuesday night be-tween adopting the ordi-nance outright or letting voters decide in the fall.

The council voted to adopt the initiative but it failed in a vote of 8-3 with Councilmembers Ash Kal-ra, Kasen Chu and Xavier Campos in support of adopt-

City Council leaves minimum wage increase decision to voters

ing the initiative outright.

The majority of the pub-lic testimonies represented the working class and urged Council members to adopt the initiative outright. But Council members were concerned with the long term effects the wage hike would have on businesses.

““There’s a lot of pas-sion, on both sides of the issue, my initial response to this issue, is why wait? Let’s go and implement this, it’s the right thing to do,” said Vice Mayor Madison Nguygen. “But as an elected official, we all have the re-sponsibility to make sure it is the right for the entire city not a selected group.”

Mayor Chuck Reed was also concerned for the im-pact the wage hike could have on small businesses.

“If we impose this on them, they’re going to make cuts, raise pric-es, lost business and lay people off, ” said Reed.

The council and staff felt that this initiative pro-cess has not given them enough time to properly allow all district residents and businesses to place their input on the issue.

“This is an initiative there is not much in the way of process, by process I mean bringing in both side of the argument,” said Councilwoman Nancy Pyle.

Councilmember Ash Kalra was also concerned for the cost of placing the initiative on the bal-lot. Passing the ordinance at the Tuesday’s meeting would have saved the city $824,000 by not plac-ing it on the ballot. More-over Kalra felt that wait-ing would only allow city residents to become mis-informed about the issue.

17,000 San Jose jobs pay minimum wage. That amounts to about 5% of jobs in San Jose.

During his first Fall Wel-come Address, Moham-mad Qayoumi outlined an ambitious strategic plan-ning process that included town hall meetings. Last week, La Raza Roundtable hosted a dialogue with San Jose State University’s 28th president to further dis-cuss proposed changes to the admissions guidelines.

Qayoumi is an immi-grant from rural suburb of Kabul, Afghanistan. Raised by his father, a carpenter with an elementary school education, and a mother who had no schooling. Along with his five siblings, he was encouraged to pursue education, becoming a first generation college graduate.

The dialogue began with a little history of education in the United States. The President recognized how the GI Bill really trans-

formed education by pro-viding new opportunities to other first generation stu-dents like him. He believes it also helped create a strong middle class and the Silicon Valley is a product of that.

“By 2048 our funding will go to zero,” said Presi-dent Qayoumi. “I think the problem that you see in California is quite obvious, whether you look at it in terms of our taxation or in the economic downturn, we have seen a steady erosion, but in the last few years,

a drastic drop of fund-ing in higher education.”

As the funding dwindles, SJSU along with 9 of the other CSU campuses that have been impacted must develop models the best way they know. The Presi-dent is aware that there might be bigger cuts than projected in January. He believes that enrollment must be reduced to allevi-ate the current situation.

“The problem is that our legislatures and our public officials cannot de-cide what should be the future of California,” said President Qayoumi. “I will not know our actual bud-get until November, that is where the problem is.”

Three to four years ago, SJSU enrolled 3-4,000 more students than it is enrolling now. The Cali-fornia State University (CSU) system mandates that student enrollment

must be limited to 103 percent. For every percent over that limit, the cam-pus pays a $1 million fine.

As stated in the Mas-ter Plan for Higher Edu-cation in California, lo-cal students can apply with the minimum CSU eligibility requirements. The prospective students were to have at least a 2.0 grade point average (GPA).

In an effort to reduce enrollment, President Qayoumi has decided to proceed with plans to end San Jose State’s local area guarantee, effective fall 2013. This means SJSU will no longer accept all CSU-eligible applicants, including some from Santa Clara County high schools and community colleges.

“The new requirements will go into effect for the fall of 2013, students have an additional year, students who are in high school,” said

President Qayoumi, who has 26 years of CSU experi-ence. “I hope that they will work hard and be able to meet those requirements.”

The proposed guidelines include a local area prefer-ence in the form of a lower admissions threshold for local applicants who are undeclared. SJSU will re-quire all applicants to se-lect first and second choice majors. Local applicants not admitted to their ma-jors will be eligible for, but no longer guaranteed, admission as undeclared.

A new program known as “Spartan Pathways” will serve CSU-eligible under-graduates who do not meet the SJSU-minimum ad-mission criteria. At least 100 enrollment slots will be provided to local applicants.

The President made an-other proposal, this time to La Raza Roundtable, a local organization that

focuses on making a posi-tive change for La Raza. He asked to work together to get the undeclared stu-dents to state their race.

“What happens is, when a campus has enrolment that is 25% or more His-panic/Latino, then they are classified as Hispanic serving institutions,” said President Qayoumi. “So as part of that, they would be eligible to apply for separate federal funding.”

That funding would then be used to support retention graduation and other student services for Hispanic/Latino students. The President has a strong interest in going after that 25% so they would be able to provide more services.

Summer isn’t just the season of baseball, barbe-cues, vacation and fresh produce. It’s also flag sea-son. Three of the country’s most important patriotic holidays - Memorial Day, Flag Day and Independence Day - arrive with sum-mer, and across the nation proud Americans will show their patriotism by display-ing the American Flag.

But will they do it properly?

“Fewer symbols inspire more patriotism and pride than the American Flag, and displaying it is a won-derful way to show respect not only for our country, but for all those in uniform who have defended it throughout our history,” says Larry Sin-gleton, decor manager for Cracker Barrel Old Coun-try Store, which displays an American Flag beside the fireplace in every res-taurant. “Honoring our na-tion’s Flag Code guidelines can make the display of the flag an even more poignant and patriotic gesture.”

The federal law known as the “Flag Code” estab-lishes a guide for handling and displaying Old Glory. If you’ll be showing your American pride this year by displaying the flag or deco-rating with bunting, here’s a thumbnail review of the

Flying ‘Old Glory’ this Memorial Day? How to do it right

code’s guidelines so you can be confident in all you do:

* It’s OK to display the flag ‘round the clock, but you should illuminate it during nighttime hours. If you’re not able to light the flag at night, the code rec-ommends displaying only between sunrise and sunset.

* Hoist it briskly and lower it slowly and ceremoniously.

* Be sure to bring your flag in out of rain or snow - unless it’s made of an all-weather material, in which case it’s OK to leave it out in inclement weather.

* If you would like to display a flag on your car or truck, affix it to the chassis or clamp it to the right front fender.

* Many Americans are also proud of their ethnic origins and may choose to display the flag of their heritage along with the American Flag. That’s fine; just be sure that the U.S. flag is displayed higher up, or if the flags are on the same level, the other flag should be placed to the left of the American Flag, never to the right.

* The blue and white stars field - known as “the union” - should always be up: at the top of the flag if it’s on a staff or pole, up-permost and to the ob-server’s left if the flag is be-

ing displayed horizontally or vertically against a wall. Displaying the flag with the union down is a signal of dire distress and reserved for instances of extreme danger to life or property.

* The flag should be kept from touching the ground, floor, water or anything beneath it.

* Flag-themed decor can add a welcome patriotic touch to your home, but it’s best not to get carried away and use the American Flag as bedding or drapery.

* Bunting is an acceptable patriotic display; arrange it with the blue portion at the top, the white in the middle and the red at the bottom.

* When a flag becomes worn and is in such a con-dition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dig-nified way. One way to do that is to give the flag to a lo-cal VFW for proper disposal.

“Americans show their patriotism and American pride in a number of ways, from buying red, white and blue products to plac-ing flags and flowers on the graves of veterans,” Singleton says. “Display-ing the American Flag in a respectful manner is one more way Americans can honor their country this summer and all year long.”

The American flag should be kept from touching the ground and anything beneath it.

One of the many benefits of living in a democratic soci-ety is the ability to choose our leaders and indicate our sup-port for public policy. Having studied the candidates and measures, we all get to vote. Traditionally we become one mind because the majority opinion is one that we are willing to support and live with. Much faith, trust, and support for the good of the whole is required in a func-tioning democracy. The faith that helps us come together is the same faith that sees the path of diversity to unity. It is also the faith that believes that even when our selec-tions might have been differ-ent, we can trust that there is more advantage in joining the majority than continuing to oppose. Those elected officials who place their par-tisanships and ideologies in the forefront end up not be-ing the public servants ‘We The People’ need, and re-quire, to promote the great-est common good.

P U B L I S H E R ’ S NOTE:

If the U.S. Congress (both Senate and House) is to become effective legisla-tive governance bodies, it is essential that Democrats achieve a super-majority (60 votes in the Senate and 290 votes in the House) in order to overcome current filibus-ter rules which enable a par-tisan Republican minority to obstruct legislation. Super-PACs which do not have to disclose the source of monies being expended. Every effort must be made to support the passage of the 28th Amend-ment to the U.S. Constitution which will restrict corporate sources of funding, for politi-cal campaigns. The Supreme Court ruling which provided corporations with the use of their monies as a form of ‘free speech’ has tilted the election process. In addition, special agreements, such as the one wherein Republicans acquire support if a pledge is made to never raise taxes, must become illegal since this agreement thwarts rea-sonable legislation.

Finally, when “We the People” pay for these infra-structures without a contri-bution from very profitable corporate activities, We the People are in fact, and in practice continuing to sub-sidize their business. That practice is simply unreason-ably unfair.

Appropriate levels of government are required to protect the public from prof-iteering, greed, and abuse.

The Story Road Busi-ness Association has put together the first ever soc-cer and music festival. There is a plan for ‘Vibe’ to be a family fun day with a soc-cer tournament, at the PAL stadium in East San Jose on June 2 from 9AM-3PM.

For a sport that is played internationally, soccer is not very popular in the US. ‘Vibe’ is blowing the whistle and is hoping to prove that soccer can help keep the body healthy and bring people together.

Where participants would normally have to

Vibe: The festival that wants you to go kick it with them

Inaugural soccer and music festival to prove soccer is alive and kickinpay to prove they’ve got the stuff, ‘Vibe’ is a free event. The tournament is the only event of its kind in San Jose, thought up by local soccer coach RJ Cas-tro, who has been working on this idea since last July.

Inspired by the vibra-tions of the game, music, and of communities com-ing together, Castro decided to approach the Story Road Business Association with a plan to have a commu-nity event free of charge. He had wanted to do a soc-cer tournament but with a twist. ‘Vibe’ was born.

“I think in these days in San José, with budget cuts, a lot of these festivals

are going away. There just aren’t that many out there,” said Castro, VIBE director.

The festival will in-clude a tournament. There will be an adult division, a women’s division, and a youth/family coed division. Four players will face four other players and the con-testants will have 30 min-utes to talk with their feet and play with their heart.

Teams who are inter-ested in participating are encouraged to sign up on-line. But the director is also aware that families may forget, so soccer superstars can show up the day of and still have a chance that they’re the best on the field.

There will also be indi-vidual contests that include a juggling game, a gauntlet course, target goal, speed kick, keeper wars, and one on one. Players can test their soccer goal scoring abilities, dribbling, agility, goalie skills and overall talent.

The festival will also in-clude some “halftime” en-tertainment from local art-ists. Jackie Rocks, a female rock band, will take the stage, as well as the under-ground hip hop act Eliquate. Alternative band Them Rude Boys will also be at the festival. Siblings Raul y Mexia, who also coach soc-cer, will also be performing.

Music and soccer aficio-

nados can cheer on their teams and enjoy some of the performances. It’s a mix of what you hear on the radio-- reggae, alternative, hip-hop, and even some stronger higher energy cumbia-salsa.

“All those different genres and different sounds are kind of the way soc-cer is with so many dif-ferent kind of styles,” said Castro. “It is something that hasn’t been done be-fore in this kind of setting.”

The main concept behind ‘Vibe’ is for the community to realize that the game of soccer can bring them to-gether in a good and friend-ly environment. That way they continue to share the

community with each other.

Families with little ones can expect face paint-ing and activities to keep them busy. Parents can en-joy a day as fans, and for-get the hustle and bustle of work for a few hours.

“They can expect to have a good time, to have an activity filled day so that way families can get out early in the morning and get some good exer-cise, walk around, hear some good music, and have food from local restaurants and caterers,” said Castro.

La Asociación Empresa-rial de Story Road ha creado por primera vez un festival de fútbol y música. Hay un plan para ‘Vibe’ ser un día de diversión familiar con un torneo de fútbol, en el esta-dio PAL en el este de San José el 2 de junio de 9am a 3pm.

Para un deporte que se juega a nivel internacional, el fútbol no es muy popu-lar en los EE.UU.. ‘Vibe’ sopla el silbato y tiene la esperanza de demostrar que el fútbol puede ayu-dar a mantener el cuerpo saludable y une a la gente.

Donde los participan-tes normalmente tendrían que pagar para demostrar que tiene todos los movi-

Vibe: El festival de futbol y músicaFestival inaugural para demonstrar que el fut esta vivito y coleando

mientos, “Vibe” es un even-to gratuito. El torneo es el único evento de su tipo en San José, ideado por el en-trenador del fútbol local RJ Castro, quien ha estado trabajando en esta idea des-de el pasado mes de julio.

Inspirado por las vibra-ciones del juego, la música y de las comunidades que se unen, Castro decidió proponerle a la Asocia-ción Empresarial de Story Road con un plan para tener un evento para la co-munidad de forma gratui-ta. Él había querido hacer un torneo de fútbol pero con un toque. ‘Vibe’ nació.

“Creo que en estos días en San José, con los re-cortes presupuestarios, muchos de estos festivales se van. Simplemente no

hay muchos por ahí “, dijo Castro, director de Vibe.

El festival incluirá un torneo. Habrá una división de adultos, una división de mujeres, y una división mix-ta juvenil / familiar. Cuatro jugadores se enfrentarán a otros cuatro jugadores y los concursantes tendrán 30 minutos para hablar con los pies y jugar con su corazón.

Los equipos que estén interesados en participar están invitados a registrar-se en línea. Pero el director también es consciente de que las familias pueden ol-vidar, por lo que las super-estrellas del fútbol pueden presentarse ese día y toda-vía tienen la oportunidad para demonstrar que son los mejores en el campo.

También habrá concursos individuales que incluyen un juego de malabares, con-ducción de balón, la meta de meta, saque de velocidad, las guerras del arquero, y uno a uno. Los jugadores pueden probar sus habili-dades de meter gol, regate, agilidad, habilidades y el ta-lento del portero en general.

El festival también con-tará con algunos “medio tiempo” entretenimiento de artistas locales. Jackie Rocks, una banda femenina de rock, tomarán el escena-rio, así como el acto de hip hop subterráneo Eliquate. La banda alternativa Them Rude Boys también estará en el festival. Los herma-nos Raúl y Mexia, quien también son entrenadores de fútbol, se presentará.

Aficionados a la música y el fútbol pueden animar a sus equipos y disfrutar de algunas de las actuaciones. Es una mezcla de lo que se oye en la radio - el reggae, al-ternativo, hip-hop, e incluso un poco de cumbia-salsa.

“Todos estos diferentes géneros y diferentes soni-dos son una especie de la forma en el fútbol es con diferentes tipos y muchos estilos”, dijo Castro. “Es algo que no se ha hecho an-tes en este tipo de ajuste.”

El concepto principal detrás de “Vibe” es para la comunidad se de cuen-ta de que el juego de fút-bol puede reunirlos en un medio ambiente sano y agradable. De esa mane-ra seguir compartiendo la comunidad con los demás.

Las familias con los más pequeños pueden es-perar pintura de la cara y actividades para man-tenerlos ocupados. Los padres pueden disfrutar de un día como fans, y ol-vidarse del ajetreo de tra-bajo durante unas horas.

President Barack Obama has nominated Maria López De Leon, Executive Direc-tor for the NAtional Asso-ciation of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC), to be-come a member of the Na-tional Council on the Arts.

The National Council on the Arts advises the chair of the National Endow-ment for the Arts, who also chairs the council, on agen-cy policies and programs.

The 14-member council reviews and makes recom-mendations to the chair on applications for grants, funding guidelines and leadership initiatives. Presi-dential appointments to the council, by law, are selected for their widely recognized knowledge of the arts or their expertise or profound interest in the arts. They have records of distin-guished service or achieved eminence in the arts and are

President Obama taps Maria Lopez De Leon for National Council on the Arts

appointed so as to represent equitably all geographi-cal areas of the country.

Pending confirma-tion by the Senate, De León will serve a six-year term on the council.

NALAC Board Chairper-son, Charles Rice-Gonzalez, said of the nomination, “We are overjoyed at this announcement which is a testament to the power-ful trailblazing that Maria López De León has done for the Latino arts field and for NALAC. This proud mo-ment for our community is an achievement we can all celebrate and signals a sig-nificant shift forward for Latino art and cultures.”

Ms. De León has been affiliated with NALAC for thirteen years and has served as Executive Direc-tor for ten years. Under Ms. De Leon’s leadership, NA-LAC launched the Fund for the Arts, a grant program for Latino artists and orga-nizations, completed pro-duction of a documentary series on Latino art and cul-ture for PBS, and developed a grant program for cultural exchanges between the US, Mexico, and Central Amer-ica. Ms. De León is an advisory council member of San Anto Cultural Arts, Women of Color in the Arts, and is a fellow of the Rock-wood Leadership Institute.

She has directed the continued development of eleven editions of the re-nowned annual Leadership Institute and the Latino Arts Advocacy Institute in Washington, DC; directed the convening of five na-tional arts and cultural conferences and dozens of regional arts training work-shops across the country. Under Ms. De Leon’s lead-ership, NALAC completed production of Visiones, a six part documentary series on Latino art and culture for PBS and development of ac-companying education cur-riculum distributed to over 35,000 schools. She is lead-ing the efforts to renovate a historic site in San An-tonio to serve as NALAC’s national offices and home to a national arts leader-ship training institute.

Ms. De León has over twenty years of multifac-eted experience in grass roots community and work-ing with community based organizations across the country. She has served on multiple arts and cul-ture policy panels across the country. Ms. De León is currently a fellow of the Rockwood Leadership In-stitute and completed the Wallace Foundation Lead-ership in Excellence and Arts Participation (LEAP) program. She studied Journalism at the Univer-sity of Texas at El Paso.

We all know a dog is a man’s best friend and diamonds a woman’s, but as far as the economy goes and how clueless, or cheap most guys are, there are a lot of girls out there that just feel so lonely without a bff. So what are they to do? Go in search for the next best thing, shoes!

Shoes just have a way to make you smile and feel like you can conquer the world. Opening that box of brand new stilettos it’s almost a heavenly experi-ence that you want to repeat over and over again (sigh)... two maxed out credit cards later you wish you could’ve stopped or have sought help when you couldn’t resist temptation. Trust me, we—shoe lovers—have all been there before, and some of us are still in rehab.

Don’t let the same misfortunes happen to you. Be smart and, if you have the will power, just get the essential footwear to be in style wherever you go. Here are some must-have shoes that will give every outfit in your closet a run for its money and won’t break the bank.

Wooden Platform Sandals

Sometimes just wearing flat shoes does not give your outfit the extra spice you wanted for your day. Kick it up a notch and wear some flirty, sexy platform sandals and your daytime outfit will gain the nighttime attitude that’ll make you look and feel fabulous.

Black Pumps

For those days when you have to dress as profes-sional as you can but still retain the stylish you. Black pumps are a must for every girl’s closet; they add style and seriousness to almost

A Girl’s Other Best Friend; SHOES!

every outfit. They say “I’m professional enough to get the job and fabulous enough to demand your at-tention,” how ‘bout that?

Nude Peep-Toe Pumps

Because nothing says “I’m a tall drink of skinny girl margarita” better than some nude peep-toe pumps; these shoes will make your legs look longer, leaner, and sexier just by wearing them. The nude color will compli-ment your legs and will focus the at-tention on your freshly pedicure toes. Note to everyone trying to wear these shoes: Don’t you even think about wearing these if your toe nails look like they should belong to an episode of National Geographic.

Black Boots

Just because you shouldn’t wear stilettos all the time, well, you can if you want but some black boots are always the perfect pair when you need to travel. Choose some with a small heel and they’ll be so comfortable that you won’t want to take them off. Pair them with your favorite pair

of jeans or leggings and it’ll almost feel like a fashion sin—but it won’t be.

Ballet Flats

I have to be honest, I believe ballet flats should’ve stayed in the dance studio but it seems a lot of women really like how comfortable they are, for that reason only I will recommend you own a pair of nice ballet flats for those lazy, got to run around all day, days.

Red Stilettos

Because every woman likes to feel sexy; red stilettos are bold, sexy, and daring, no wonder they are known as the f-me shoes. Every now and then you just have to let your shoes speak for you. What are yours saying?

So there you have it, some of the must-have in shoes to take you from day to night, and from flirty to serious. And you don’t even have to buy hundreds of shoes, although I know you will.

En Men In Black 3, los agentes J (Will Smith) y K (Tommy Lee Jones) han vuelto... al pasado. Du-rante los quince años que trabajó con los Hombres de Negro, J se enfrentó a fenómenos inexplicables, pero nada —ni siquiera los extraterrestres— lo deja tan desconcertado como su sar-dónico y reservado compa-ñero. Cuando la vida de K y

el destino del planeta se en-cuentren en peligro, el agen-te J tendrá que viajar al pa-sado para arreglar las cosas. Allí, descubrirá que existen secretos sobre el universo que K nunca le contó, secre-tos que se revelarán cuando J empiece a trabajar con el joven agente K (Josh Bro-lin) para poder salvar a su compañero, la agencia y el futuro de la humanidad.

“Chernobyl Diaries” is an original story from Oren Peli, who first ter-rified audiences with his groundbreaking thriller, “Paranormal Activity.”

The film follows a group of six young vacationers who, looking to go off the beaten path, hire an “ex-treme” tour guide. Ignor-ing warnings, he takes them into the city of Pripyat, the former home to the work-ers of the Chernobyl nucle-ar reactor, but a deserted town since the disaster more than 25 years ago.

After a brief explora-tion of the abandoned city, however, the group soon finds themselves stranded, only to discover that they are not alone…

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As vari-ous authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore - and the peaceful island com-munity is turned upside

down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances Mc-Dormand portray the young girl’s parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Ja-son Schwartzman, and Jar-ed Gilman and Kara Hay-ward as the boy and girl.

Astrológicamente Venus el segundo planeta del siste-ma solar es el astro que rige al amor, esta connotación se debe en gran parte a la rica mitología de Venus- Afrodi-ta, diosa greco-romana del amor, la belleza, el romance, el deseo y la seducción.

Según cuenta la leyenda, esta diosa de la hermosura ocupaba un lugar de suma importancia en el olimpo griego. Existen varias ver-siones acerca de su naci-miento. Una versión relata que Afrodita era hija de Zeus y la ninfa Diones. Otra versión referida por Hesíodo aduce que cuando Cronos mutiló las partes nobles de su padre Urano, tiró al mar los restos y éstos fueron acumulando una hermosa espuma de la cual nació una perla hermosísima, la diosa Afrodita.

Debido a su belleza y po-

La Diosa Venusder de seducción, Afrodita fue pretendida por todos los dioses del, inclusive por el poderoso Zeus, quien al ser rechazado por ella, como castigo la obligó a casarse con el menos agraciado de los dioses, Hefaistos o Vul-cano, el dios del fuego.

Afrodita estando casada con Hefaistos tuvo amoríos con el viril Ares o Marte, el dios de la guerra, romance del cual nacieron dos hijos “Eros o Cupido” el dios del amor, y “Anteros” el dios de la correspondencia.

Al quedar divorciada de Hefaistos, Afrodita tuvo otros amoríos, sedujo a Po-seidón o Neptuno, también a Hermes con quien pro-crearon al célebre Herma-frodita, un hermoso dios que llegó a tener los dos se-xos.

Hubieron incluso morta-les que disfrutaron las mie-les del amor con la hermosa deidad, entre ellos Adonis el

hijo de Mirra, y Anquises. A partir de aquel entonces Afrodita sería la diosa del amor. Venus la antigua dio-sa del amor entre los latinos de Roma, era una divinidad muy antigua, en un princi-pio no estaba entre las gran-des diosas romanas, fue a partir del siglo II A. C. cuan-do al fusionarse los dioses griegos y romanos Venus y Afrodita fueron una sola di-vinidad, “la diosa del amor”. En el horóscopo Venus rige el amor y todos los placeres derivados de este, también rige la belleza, la apariencia física y el buen humor. Entre el 15 de mayo y el 27 de ju-nio Venus estará retrógrado en el signo Géminis, aspecto astrológico adverso, por ello las siguientes recomenda-ciones:

Aries: Sé discreto, fíjate en lo que dices, mucho cui-dado al conducir.

Tauro: Cuida tus pose-siones y bienes materiales.

Géminis: Puedes enfren-tar problemas de salud y de pareja.

Cáncer: Te ocurrirán lap-sos de nostalgia.

Leo: Tus planes saldrán bien pero habrá retrasos.

Virgo: Puedes enfrentar problemas en el trabajo.

Libra: Enfrentarás algu-nos altibajos de dinero, no gastes de más.

Escorpión: Tendrás pro-blemas pero recibirás ayu-da.

Sagitario: El amor te puede llevar a la gloria o al infierno ¡ve con cuidado!

Capricornio: Se te pue-den extraviar posesiones o documentos.

Acuario: Pueden surgir disgustos con alguno de la familia, pero serán pasaje-ros.

Piscis: Puedes ser vícti-ma de alguna injusticia o mal entendido, al final todo se aclarará.

Despite round-the-clock access to text mes-saging, email and social networking sites, mean-ingful connections some-times seem harder to come by than ever these days.

You can connect better with your close friends and family. Here are some tips to help you keep in touch:

• Make an appointment for important phone calls that are easy to put off. If you have an actual appointment, you can’t and won’t forget to give Mom and Dad a call. Better yet, make it a stand-ing weekly ritual you will all look forward to each week.

• Want to tell a friend what’s new? Send a note on personalized stationery. “You will really brighten the day of your recipient with a card sent in the mail,” advises Mariam Naficy, CEO of Minted.com, an online stationery store.

• Throw a party. Nothing beats good old-fashioned face-to-face communica-tion. So gather all your loved ones together for a party at your house. There will be time enough to make mean-ingful conversation, and complete your duties as host.

• For the really impor-tant milestones like birth announcements and en-gagements, you’ll want to let your friends hear about it directly from you. Skip the temptation to broad-cast your good news to the world with a blog post or status update until after you’ve told your close friends and family. Sites like www.minted.com have the tools you’ll need to personal-ize your announcements.

Life is short. So whether you want to create or im-prove your connections with family and friends, there is no better time than the present to get started.

Sin duda alguna la no-ticia de la semana es la caí-da de valor de sus acciones en sus primeros 2 días al hacerse pública la empre-sa de red social Facebook.

Otra novedad esta sema-na es el juego de video de tirador en primera persona llamado Ghost Recon Fu-ture Soldier que cuenta con conexión en línea llamada U Play, este juego lo puedes jugar en línea y guardarlo sin necesidad de utilizar tu

Este es uno de los juegos que cuentan con el can-dado virTtual esto quiere decir que si ya lo registras-te en línea en una consola es imposible registrarlo en otra o lo puedes hacer por una módica cantidad. Lo cual a mi me parece un ex-ceso ya que este debería de venir con acceso en línea aunque lo compres usado.

Lo más impactante para mi, de esta semana fue la caída de valor en las accio-nes de Facebook, ya que ha sido la empresa que mas a caído en su primera semana, cosa contraria a lo que les sucedió Netflix u otras em-presas al hacerse públicas.

Ask any movie studio executive if the DVD gravy train is dead, and they will unequivocally tell you, “No.” But, they will also grudg-ingly admit that DVD popularity is slowing down.

One only has to look at the demise of retail giant Block-buster to see that it’s true.

Taking its place, of course, is digital entertain-ment -- the downloading and streaming of mov-ies and television shows to consumers’ computers, Internet-enabled televi-sions and mobile devices.

While some in Holly-wood may be uncomfort-able with this new direction, others are looking at it as an opportunity and potential boon for growth, market-ing and, yes, the almighty and important bottom line.

“Whether studios like it or not, business currents and consumer interests have clearly shifted,” said Peter Hoffman, CEO of Seven Arts Pictures. “We can either capitalize on this trend or stick our head in the sand and hope every-thing will remain busi-ness as usual,” he added.

And Seven Arts, Hoffman stated, has never been one

Digital Streaming Versus DVD Market

to shy away from the future.

Which is why the Los Angeles-based studio re-leased its latest movie, “The Pool Boys,” on DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes, and stream-ing digital distribution. This way, Hoffman said, we can better promote “The Pool Boys,” and all of our upcoming releases.

So, what of those small plastic discs that most consumers have come to know and, if not ex-actly love, have certainly grown accustomed to?

According to the movie studio industry, DVDs will continue to play a role, albeit a supporting one to digital.

“DVDs are going to continue to be a viable part of a studio’s revenue,”

predicted Hoffman. “But there is clearly a strong consumer interest in digital viewing as well.”

To this end, it would seem that studios would do well to embrace the age-old adage of “give the cus-tomer what they want.” As is the case with Seven Arts’ “The Pool Boys” release, it’s DVD, Blu-Ray, streaming and digital download. This gives consumers an ar-ray of choices, making it a win-win for movie viewers.

Learn more about the “The Pool Boys” at www.ThePoolBoysMovie.com, then see the movie “On Demand” from your local cable provider. This movie can also be seen on com-puters, mobile phones, tab-let computers and DVD.

Although Blockbuster gave way to Netflix and On Demand, DVDs and digital streaming can coexist.

La máxima experiencia en su vida deportiva fue subir al podio en los Jue-gos Olímpicos Montreal 76, recibir la medalla de bronce en el torneo de bo-xeo y ver ondear la bandera de México en la máxima justa del deporte mundial.

Los XXI Juegos Olím-picos de 1976 se celebraron en Montreal, Canadá, entre el 17 de julio y el 1 de agosto con la participación de seis mil 028 atletas de 92 paí-ses, compitiendo en 21 de-portes y 198 especialidades.

“Fue una hazaña, una ex-periencia inolvidable, fuera de serie, algo especial como deportista representar a

Recuerda emocionado Juan Paredes el podio en Montreal 76nuestro país y ganar la me-dalla olímpica, me dio mu-chas satisfacciones en todos los sentidos”, dice Paredes.

Como una película en su cerebro, regresa al año de 1976, “fue un orgullo subir al podio, es algo que no puedo descifrar con palabras, ver ondear la bandera de Mé-xico en un evento que todo el mundo lo está viendo, representa que eres alguien en la vida y todo te cambia”.

Su voz se quiebra “por-que esa presea me quedó grabada para toda la vida, nunca se me olvidará y cambió mi existencia total-mente, fue un cambio de 90 grados. A mi familia la saqué de donde estabamos, en lo social, lo económico, esa medalla se la dediqué a

Pedro Ramírez Vázquez”.

Juan Paredes Miranda nació el 29 enero de 1953 en Azpatozcalco en la capital de la República Mexicana, donde empezó a desarrollar sus habilidades en el depor-te de los puños, entrenó en esa delegación política y em-pezó su destacada trayec-toria al resultar campeón del torneo de los barrios.

Juan Paredes ya tenía su boleto a Canadá, con un récord amateur de 62 peleas, 53 triunfos y nueve derrotas y con el corazón por delante y una gran pre-paración hizo maletas con la delegación mexicana.

El ex boxeador recuerda que “fue muy difícil avan-zar. Nunca había participa-

do en una competencia de esta magnitud, para mi fue una guerra de nervios, yo no fui a Juegos Centroame-ricanos ni a Panamerica-nos y ahora estaba con lo mejor del mundo, salí ade-lante gracias a buena pre-paración y buena esquina”.

Juan Paredes se retiró del pugilismo rentado con 23 triunfos, 19 nocauts y 11 derrotas. El único cin-turón que disputó, el cam-peonato nacional de peso pluma, lo perdió contra el guerrerense Marcos Vi-llasana en marzo de 1982.

Actualmente Juan Pa-redes, con 59 años de edad entrena a la selección de bo-xeo Sub 16 en el Centro Na-cional de Alto Rendimien-to (CNAR), de la Conade.

Students from 12 dif-ferent schools in Franklin McKinely School District came together to show their best dance moves at the CORAL Dance Off at Syl-vandale Junior High School.

Students competed in two divisions: kindergar-ten through third grade and forth through eight grade. Each team per-formed a dance style rou-tine and a cheer routine. An “American Idol” style panel judged each performance.

The competition was held in the school gym-nasium where parents, students, and teachers watched the performances.

“The community involve-ment is great, the parents come, the children come. I was very impressed that the Vice Mayor was here,” said Sandra Hernandez, a COR-AL volunteer. “I really like programs like this because our kids are our future.”

Local students compete in a dance off

CORAL, Communities Organizing Resources to Advance Learning, is an afterschool program that works with students who are reading below level to improve their literacy. Stu-dents are given one hour of personal literacy tutor-ing, one hour of homework and one hour of enrich-ment that ranges from art, sports, dance and music.

“This program helps a lot, my daughter she loves it, and I don’t have the money to pay for these types of classes,” said Beta Rosales, a mother of a 2nd grader in the program.

CORAL serves over 3,000 students at 22 school sites. Participants are pleased with the success.

“I’ve seen quite a few of my kids, they could come and be very introverted. Now they have a lot more confidence in the way they carry themselves,” said Megan Mallamace, a teacher at Voices Academy.

Karen Barerra, a 7th

grader in the program, also noticed a change within herself from par-ticipating in the activities.

“I was shy, it changed me a lot, I came here to learn more things” said Barerra.

In the future, CORAL will continue to hold events like the dance off, such as a spelling bee, soccer tour-nament, and celebrations for literacy achievement.

As the program moves forward however, some changes must be made said Sara Reyes, Program Direc-tor. Last year the program was free to participating students, but this year par-ticipants paid a $35 registra-tion free due to budget cuts.

Next year, the pro-gram must cut 1,000 stu-dents from their services also due to budget cuts.

“It is very devastating be-cause these families really count on us to keep their kids literally off the streets, oth-erwise there is nothing posi-tive for them,” said Reyes.

Varios centenares de los amigos más cercanos y fa-miliares de Donna Summer se reunieron en una iglesia de Nashville, Tennessee, para despedir en privado

Dan familiares y amigos el último adiós a Donna Summera la “Reina del Disco”, fa-llecida la semana pasada de cáncer en el pulmón.

Unas 400 personas fue-ron invitadas a una misa en la Iglesia Presbiteria-na de Cristo, en el Bou-levard Old Hickory, en donde se esperaba la pre-

sencia de algunos famosos.

Los familiares manifes-taron en un comunicado el aprecio por la gran canti-dad de muestras de cariño de los seguidores y amigos de la cantante, pero aún así, su decisión fue mantener el servicio fúnebre en privado.

La muerte de Summer a los 63 años, ocurrida el jueves pasado en Naples, Florida, despertó una ava-lancha de tributos para la ganadora de cinco Premios Grammy, cuyo ritmo mar-có la pauta de la música disco en la segunda par-te de la década de los 70.

Summer nació en Bos-ton, pero vivió un tiempo en Nashville en la década de los 90 y junto a su esposo Bru-ce Sudano aún son dueños de una casa en Brentwood.

La cantante fue bau-tizada como la “Reina del Disco”, tras lanzar una serie de éxitos en los 70, incluidos los temas “I feel love” “Love to love you baby” y “Last dance”.

A Summer le sobre-viven, además de su es-poso, sus tres hijas: Brooklyn, Mimi y Amanda.

Donna Summers, la “Reina del Disco”, fallecio el 17 de mayo.
