Obtén ayuda para tu carrera universitaria y profesional
La escuelas secundarias de los varones jóvenes pueden ayudarles a obtener buen empleo y dinero para la universidad en una manera sorprendente.
Gracias a la ayuda del registrador de la escuela, los estudiantes pueden inscribirse en el Sistema del Servicio Selectivo. Cualquier varón joven que no se registra dentro de los 30 días de cumplir 18 años no solo está violando la ley sino que además no será elegible para obtener los subsidios Pell Grants, los préstamos estudiantiles Federal Work-Study, Guaranteed Student PLUS Loans y National Direct Student Loans ni tampoco entrenamiento para empleos federales.

El paso de los años trae con-secuencias; enfermedades como el Alzheimer, la de-mencia senil, vascular o cu-alquier otro tipo de demencia pueden afectar radicalmente la vida de nuestros adultos mayores, y aunque no nos sea grato, debemos saber cómo enfrentarlo.
El Alzheimer, particular-mente es una enfermedad del cerebro que causa problemas de memoria, afecta la capa-cidad cognitiva, genera prob-lemas de comportamiento, empeora con el tiempo y no tiene cura. Actualmente de acuerdo con datos de los Centros de Control de Enfer-medades – CDC – es el tipo más común de demencia, en Estados Unidos más de 5 millones de personas viven con ella.
Los síntomas de la enferme-dad, suelen aparecer después de los sesenta años y aunque pueden presentarse en per-sonas más jóvenes, esto es poco común. Actualmente los científicos no han lo-grado determinar sus causas exactas, pero cada vez hay más indicios de que los fac-tores de riesgo que generan problemas del corazón, la presión o el colesterol altos, pueden aumentar el riesgo de padecer de Alzheimer. De igual modo, muchos estudios sugieren que la adecuada ac-tividad física, mental y social de un individuo juega un importante papel a la hora de atrasar su aparición.
Por eso, no sobra reiterar la importancia de llevar un esti-lo de vida saludable, alimen-tarse sanamente, hacer ejer-cicio y seguir las recomenda-ciones médicas. En el caso de los hispanos según el informe
Hechos y Estadísticas sobre la Enfermedad de Alzheimer 2010 de la Alzheimer’s As-sociation – Asociación de Alzheimer, el riesgo de de-sarrollar el Alzheimer en los hispanos es 1,5 veces mayor que en los norteamericanos blancos no hispanos. Hay una tasa mayor de hispanos/latinos que blancos no his-panos en los Estados Unidos que padecen del Alzheimer.
¿Cuándo preocuparse?
La pérdida de memoria suele ser uno de los primeros signos de alerta y, de acuerdo con los expertos, además de olvidar cosas una persona con Alzheimer puede tener cambios de humor o person-alidad, dificultad a la hora de lidiar con el dinero o de reali-zar las actividades cotidianas a las que estaba acostumb-rado, pero una de las cosas más delicadas que puede
ocurrirle a una persona que está perdiendo sus facultades mentales, es perderse.
Por eso existe “Silver Alert” un sistema de alerta público que informa sobre las per-sonas perdidas – especial-mente adultos mayores con Alzheimer o cualquier tipo de incapacidad mental - para regresarlos a casa en el menor tiempo posible.
“Silver Alert” usa diferen-tes medios – como emisoras comerciales y estaciones de televisión abierta o cable - para hacer pública la infor-mación sobre personas per-didas. De igual forma suele usar mensajes en los tableros electrónicos de las autopistas para alertar a los conducto-res. Cuando se cree que la persona perdida estaba cam-inando – no conduciendo -, la alerta usa el sistema del 911 para notificar a los veci-
nos del área de localización del enfermo.
Hay cosas que no podemos evitar, pero el acompaña-miento, el afecto y el uso correcto de las herramientas a nuestro alcance son funda-mentales a la hora de ayudar
a nuestros adultos mayores cuando lo necesitan. Man-tente informado.

OPINIONOCTOBER 09-15, 2015
The most urgent need in all sectors of commerce, high tech industries, and infor-mation technology is those individuals who have the skills to be RELATIONSHIP WORKERS. During the recent past, educators have devised the Common Core Curriculum; government and industry want more STEM (science, technology, engi-neering and math) workers; add the Arts to come up with ‘STEAM’. In addition, 48 of 58 categorical education pro-grams were realigned down from Sacramento to the local school boards. Some school districts have even stopped teaching students cursive writing altogether. How will they sign their employment agreements; mortgages &
loan documents? It is no wonder that students and their parents are confused and probably seriously dis-oriented. What in the world is going on in education? All these soon require “knowl-edge workers”; the latest is ‘RELATIONSHIP WORK-ERS’.
Keep in mind that none of the above ‘advocated empha-sis’ is possible without having the basic learning skills of reading, writing, and math along with a knowledge of languages which enable com-munications to enable coor-dinated schedules of work or events. Quite often, profes-sional educators do not want the student’s parents involved because they complicate mat-ters. Often parents are con-cerned with job skills and economic reality. What is ed-ucation all about? It is about preparation of the child’s mind to be able to function and thrive using information and knowledge about the economy, its governance, and society.
Fareed Zakaria: Global Pub-lic Square, MSNBC, at 7:00 AM, Sunday, October 4, 2015, reported that Australia “an-nounced a bold eucharistic curriculum change in their schools. When children are about 12 years old, they will learn how to write computer programs. Coding will be given much more promi-nence...in contrast to history or geography which will be removed as ‘stand-alone sub-jects’. Meanwhile, in Japan, humanities and social sciences are either closing or scaling back at 26 national universi-ties according to “Times High-er Education”. Before we start firing all the history professors, let’s examine the ideas behind all these moves. It is certainly true that today’s high-tech economy needs people who are computer savvy. Code.org, a group that has been pushing computer sciences in schools, has estimated that by 2020 there will be 1,400.000 com-puter jobs in U.S.A., but only 400,000 computer science students to fill them; leaving 1,000,000 jobs unfilled. Is it
smart and intellectually re-warding to understand how computers work?”
“But, success at work and in life is much more complicated than simply learning to code.” Fareed Zakaria’s book: ‘In De-fense of Liberal Education”, shows how important the liberal arts were in teaching students how to be creativity, innovative, analytic thought and the joy of learning. All of which are needed even in the high-tech world. Just think of Steve Jobs. A recently released book: “Humans are Under-Rated”(author: Jeff Colvin) explains that studying the hu-manities could actually be as valuable as having a science degree in the future; perhaps even more so. Colvin points out that it is anybody’s guess which jobs may be automated next, from driving cars to food preparation, but human needs will always insist that some jobs be done by other human beings, even if computers are capable of doing those jobs. These jobs, that will empha-size social interactions, are go-
ing to be the jobs of the future. Humans are social animals. That humans beings are con-nected to each other is basic to their very survival. That is why we would prefer to see a real human doctor for a diagnosis rather than a computer. Or prefer to work in teams with other humans not just com-puter monitors. Because of the need to interact with others, the most valuable workers of the future will be ‘Relationship Workers’, more so than the knowledge workers of the 20th century who may likely be re-placed by computers. The de-mand for relationship workers has been on the rise already. From 2001 to 2009, jobs in-volving human interaction, like nurses and lawyers, went up by 5,000,000 in the U.S.A. (McKinsey; Global Institute), compared to transaction or productions jobs, which went down.”
“So what is the best way to train youth to be ‘Relationship Workers’? Colvin says “science and technology disciplines are still crucial, but far more
than engineering and com-puter sciences, the humanities strengthen and deepen the hu-man ability that will be critical to the success of most people.”
“For example, reading fic-tion having complex charac-ters and stories, trains us to observe and empathize with other people. Which is why many medical schools are re-quiring their medical students to read fiction to become bet-ter doctors.”
“To repeat: Coding and Com-puters are important. But the jobs of the future and life in the future will be about how tech-nology interacts with human beings. And for that, one needs all kinds of knowledge, scien-tific as well as humanistic.”
Since families are the basic building block of communi-ties, parents, who are the legal guardians and ‘first instruc-tors’ of their offspring, must be involved and included if we are to have effective essential rela-tionships.

A measure to protect students from being placed in less challenging mathematics classes – even though they meet the academic requirements for more challenging courses – was signed into law Monday by Governor Jerry Brown.
SB 359 authored by Senator Holly J. Mitchell will take effect January 1, 2016 and requires public school districts to develop and adhere to performance and assessment-based standards for assigning youths to math courses by the start of the 2016-2017 school year. The legislation is a first step in remedying the growing problem of “math misplacement,” which can impede a capable student’s progress both in learning math and advancing toward higher education and career goals.
A 2010 Noyce Foundation Pathways study had found that African American and Latino students, in particular, were improperly held back in nine Bay Area school districts despite having demonstrated proficiency on state standardized math tests.
“Kids deserve the best shot we can give them at success,” said Senator Mitchell (D-Los Angeles). “Yet too many students who are working hard to build the skills they need to be successful in our economy are being prevented from doing so.”
While California increasingly relies on jobs and revenue from its science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) industries, that sector depends on the state to provide a trained workforce. Yet a 2014 Brookings Institution report, among others, shows that there are not enough qualified STEM workers. African Americans and Latinos hold fewer than four percent of the jobs at the six largest Silicon Valley tech companies. Given that nearly 60 percent of California’s children belong to those ethnic groups, while technology jobs are projected to grow by 22 percent in the state over the next five years, opening a career pipeline for children of color into STEM careers is crucial for both them and the state.
“The Governor’s action today marks a significant victory for everyone involved in working to end the disturbing practice of math misplacement in our schools,” said Dr. Emmett Carson, President and CEO of Silicon Valley Community Foundation, sponsor of SB 359. “Now that districts across the state will be called upon to establish fair, objective and transparent mathematics placement policies, we can better assure that our education system is designed to give all children a fair chance to succeed.”
With the link between math misplacement, technology worker shortages and persistent poverty now clearly visible, California cannot afford to allow students who are demonstrating they can overcome challenges in their backgrounds to lose earned places in high school mathematics.

When did you join Mi Pueblo?
I joined Mi Pueblo as Presi-dent and CEO in June 2014, shortly after the company exited bankruptcy. I was brought on board to develop a plan that would help re-build Mi Pueblo.
What strategies have you brought to change or adapt
Mi Pueblo to the current economic climate?
When I joined Mi Pueblo my plan was to focus on en-hancing our authentic His-panic product offering, im-proving customer and em-ployee experiences within Mi Pueblo’s stores and ensuring Mi Pueblo’s products are sold at fair and competitive prices in the marketplace.
One of the first things that we did was bring back the 10% discount card for em-ployees. This had been a benefit offered prior to bank-ruptcy, but had to be discon-tinued based on the com-pany’s economic state. How-ever, I am proud to share that we not only increased em-ployee discount cards to 20%
in December, but have also provided employees with a second card for their signifi-cant other, family member, best friend, etc.
In order to adapt to the cur-rent economic climate, we have also established several partnerships that bring a val-ue to our customers and em-ployees beyond the groceries we offer. This has included a partnership with Western Union to offer customers and employees a greater value and a better and more afford-able alternative when send-ing their hard earned money to loved ones inside the U.S. and abroad. We also secured a partnership with Covered California to provide cus-tomers and employees with information on affordable insurance alternatives, and most recently a partnership with PG&E to offer tips on how to lower their electricity bills.
How does/has your market knowledge approach to Mi Pueblo help guide the com-
pany in the right direction? In what ways has your
leadership been beneficial to the company?
At Mi Pueblo we value our employees and understand
they are the key to our suc-cess. In order to move the company forward, we have to strengthen internal commu-nication within the company and take care of our employ-ees, so in return they provide the same great service and at-tention to our customers.
To accomplish this, we have implemented several key in-ternal initiatives to improve the company’s culture and boost morale. Some of the initiatives we launched in-clude the 20% employee discount card, Mi Pueblo’s Scholarship program, holi-day bonuses, improved ben-efits, an end-of-year stipend, increased vacation days, weekly payroll schedule, and the Visionary Award pro-gram, which gives employees an opportunity to share their ideas on how to improve Mi Pueblo for a chance to win $500 cash prize.
In all our initiatives and spe-cial promotions we always make sure to include our employees by seeking ways to motivate them and by providing incentives. Some examples of these initiatives include sending employees to the World Series, giving away concert and sports events tickets, guitar giveaways and many more.
Furthermore, we have launched several training programs that will give em-ployees the tools to succeed at their job, whether it is im-proving management skills or learning more about the various meats and cuts of-fered at our stores. We want to ensure that our employees see Mi Pueblo as a career, and not just a job.
Can you tell us more about Mi Pueblo’s community
initiatives? As previously mentioned,
we want to be more than a grocery store to our custom-
ers and employees, we want to be a resource for our com-munity and support them in any way we can. Aside from the partnerships and in-store events we have hosted, we re-cently awarded 72 individual scholarships to local students and employees of Mi Pueblo to support their academic goals. Since 2011, Mi Pueb-lo has awarded more than $550,000 in scholarship monies to over 350 individu-als in the Bay Area, Central Coast and Central Valley re-gions, and we look forward to continue doing so in the upcoming years.
Other community initia-tives we have launched in-clude school field trips, a ballet folklorico competition, Mother’s Day sweepstakes to win a free mariachi serenade, introduction of El Mero Mero superhero to fight prices and offer exceptional customer service and intro-duced a new concept across our stores to provide custom-ers with better service and a unique shopping experience.
What are your goals within the company going
forward? This past year has been a
thrilling ride for me. And while there is always room for improvement, I am very proud of what the team has been able to accomplish in this short amount of time.
We want Mi Pueblo em-ployees and customers to feel like Mi Pueblo is their home. This is why we are working hard to teach our new young employees what Hispanic hospitality is all about so we can continue passing down these wonderful values that make Latinos different from other cultures.
Another key objective I have for the company is to become the leading bakery in Northern California. To achieve this, we have trained our bakers across the com-pany on how to make vari-ous types of bread, from pan dulce to bolillos, this will help ensure the product quality doesn’t change from store to store. We have also provided
meat department training across all Mi Pueblo stores to ensure butchers are familiar-ized with the different cuts of meat and offer the high-est quality products to our clients.
Finally, we want to ensure Mi Pueblo represents the tra-ditions, customs, and heri-tage of our customers and employees’ home country. We seek to achieve this by making our customers and employees feel at home with the music, aromas, decora-tions, colors and by offering authentic products that peo-ple can’t find anywhere else. We will continue to work very hard every day to offer the freshest ingredients and to improve traditional reci-pes such as our mole or salsas to offer our customers and employees a piece of their be-loved Mexico abroad. At Mi Pueblo we strive to include our community and our goal is that everyone that visits our stores feels welcome and has a unique shopping expe-rience.

Daily stress in a busy life can challenge immune system function. No matter what season it is, it’s important to continually build robust im-munity, say experts.
“The immune system is in-credibly complex and we’re learning more each day about what weakens it and how we can strengthen it for better health,” says Larry Robinson, PhD, vice president of scien-tific affairs at Embria Health Sciences, a manufacturer of natural, science-based ingre-dients that support wellness and vitality.
With your optimum health in mind, Robinson and the experts at Embria are offer-ing some tips for warding off illness with a healthy im-mune system.
Healthy Habits
One of the most effective strategies for maintaining a healthy immune system may just be common sense. Harvard Medical School calls healthy-living strategies a “first line of defense.”
To boost the immune sys-tem and every other part of
the body, treat your body right. Drink in moderation. Quit smoking. Eat a well-balanced diet. Get regular exercise and plenty of sleep.
Supplements
Many people believe that taking a multivitamin or vita-min C is enough to maintain a strong immune system, but the truth is you may want a more multifaceted approach to your supplement regimen. Robinson recommends look-ing for a natural immune supplement, particularly one that contains EpiCor, a whole food yeast fermentate supplement comprised of proteins, fibers, polyphenols, vitamins, amino acids, beta-glucans and beneficial me-tabolites that work together on many levels to support a strong immune system.
EpiCor can now be found in many natural, trusted brands, including Hyperbiot-ics Immune: Daily Immune & Wellness Formula, which also offers targeted probiotic support, zinc, vitamin C and Echinacea in a time release tablet.
Another immune boost-ing supplement to consider is Natrol Immune Boost,
which contains EpiCor, vita-min C, vitamin D, Zinc and Selenium, clinically-validated ingredients to help support your body’s ability to stay healthy. The brand has con-sistently achieved the highest “A” rating from the Natural Products Association.
Take a Vacation
The mind-body connec-tion is powerful, and studies have shown that stress -- both temporary and chronic -- can compromise one’s immunity. Be mindful of the stressors in your life and take steps to re-duce or eliminate their causes.
While you may not be able to quit your job, you can make a point to schedule a vacation or make better use of your leisure time. You can also take stock of what causes you stress and think about ways of managing your reactions to troubling people and circum-stances.
You may not think about how to strengthen the im-mune system until falling ill, but it works to protect you every day. Think beyond vita-min C and take comprehen-sive steps to support your im-munity now and in the future.

Los vehículos de hoy en día vienen con abundantes nuevas características y tec-nologías que pueden ayudar a los conductores, darles mayor comodidad a los pasa-jeros y proporcionar infor-mación en tiempo real sobre el estado del vehículo. Lo más importante es que mu-chas de las tecnologías de los vehículos de hoy en día están diseñadas pensando en la se-guridad y tienen el potencial de salvar vidas.
El problema es que muchos conductores no saben de la existencia de estas caracter-ísticas o no saben cómo uti-lizarlas para desarrollar todo su potencial.
Un estudio reciente de la Universidad de Iowa de-terminó que el 40% de los conductores se han visto so-bresaltados o sorprendidos por algo que ha hecho su vehículo, un hallazgo preocu-pante dado que los choques de automóviles son una de las principales causas de muertes prevenibles en los Estados Unidos.
“La tecnología puede cam-biar el panorama cuando se trata de la seguridad,” dijo Deborah A.P. Hersman, presidente y directora gen-eral del Consejo Nacional para la Seguridad. “A fin de reconocer completamente
los beneficios de estos nuevos sistemas, los conductores de-ben estar conscientes de ellos y también entender sus limi-taciones.”
Pensando en esta necesidad, NSC se unió a la Universidad de Iowa para lanzar “¿Mi co-che hace qué?”, un manual virtual del propietario que desmitifica las más recientes e innovadoras características de los vehículos.
El sitio web de la campaña, www.My-CarDoesWhat.org, destaca tecnologías
tales como:
• Cámaras de retroceso, que proporcionan una vista de la zona ciega que está directa-mente detrás del auto cuan-do el vehículo está en reversa
• Monitores de punto ciego, que alertan a los conductores cuando hay algo en su punto ciego
• Advertencias de colisión hacia el frente, que advierten a los conductores cuando se están acercando demasiado rápidamente al vehículo que tienen delante
• Sistemas automáticos de frenado de emergencia, que aplican los frenos si el sistema detecta una colisión inminente
• Sistemas de freno anti-bloqueo, que impiden que se traben las ruedas, ayu-dando a evitar los patinazos descontrolados y ofreciendo cierto control de la dirección bajo condiciones de derrape
• Alertas de tráfico cruzado atrás, que advierten a los conductores si se está aprox-imando tráfico a la izquierda o a la derecha cuando el ve-hículo está en reversa
• Control de crucero ad-aptativo, que mantiene la velocidad ajustada por el conductor y una distancia de seguimiento preestablecido
• Advertencias de aban-dono de carril, que alertan a los conductores si se mueven hacia otro carril cuando no se han activado las direccio-nales.
Para ver una lista com-pleta de las tecnologías de seguridad de los vehículos, videos explicativos, gráficos y artículos, visite MyCar-DoesWhat.org.
“El conductor siempre será el mejor elemento de seguri-dad de un coche, no hay una tecnología hoy en día que pueda cambiar eso,” dijo Hersman. “Pero estas car-acterísticas pueden ayudar a mitigar los errores antes de que provoquen muertes y lesiones.”

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA
Nearly one in four women in the United States reports experiencing violence by a current or former spouse or boyfriend at some point in her life. On average, more than three women a day are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in the United States. The County of Santa Clara is observing Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October to encourage residents to participate in one of the many events organized to increase public awareness and prevent intimate partner violence. The County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors will proclaim October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month at its second Regular Meeting in October.
The 2015 Domestic Violence Awareness Month events calendar is on the County of Santa Clara Office of Women’s Policy website https://owp.scc-
gov.org. Residents are encour-aged to participate in one of the many events in Santa Clara County, and to wear purple or a purple ribbon throughout October as a way of signaling to others that ending Domes-tic Violence is important to them. “We know that every day someone is suffering from do-mestic violence behind closed doors and that is not accept-able,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese, President of County of Santa Cara Board of Super-visors. “We want everyone to know that there are many re-sources and services available.”
Abuse is described as a re-petitive pattern of behaviors to maintain power and con-trol over an intimate partner. These are behaviors that physi-cally harm, arouse fear, prevent a partner from doing what he or she wishes or force a partner to behave against his or her will. Abuse includes the use of physical and sexual violence, threats and intimidation, emo-tional abuse and economic
deprivation. Abusers may also use technology to harass and stalk victims, gather informa-tion and monitor the victims’ activities. They may hack into victims’ social media accounts or send threatening text mes-sages or emails placing the victim in constant fear. These different forms of abuse can be going on simultaneously.
Although women are much more likely than men to be vic-timized by a current or former intimate partner, domestic vio-lence affects women, men, and children of all racial, ethnic, cultural, social, religious, sex-ual orientation and economic groups in the United States, in California and here in Santa Clara County. “We all have a responsibility to do everything we can to protect children, as research shows that trauma and abuse now increases the likelihood that they will be-come future victims or offend-ers,” said Supervisor Cindy Chavez, Chair of the Board of Supervisor’s Children, Seniors,
and Families Committee. “We encourage our residents to be aware of domestic violence and seek help for themselves or for others who may be vic-tims.” Women of all ages are at risk for domestic and sexual violence, and those age 20 to 24 are at the greatest risk of experiencing nonfatal intimate partner violence, including the highest rates of rape and sexual assault.
Locally, domestic violence crisis hotlines in Santa Clara County answered over 21,000 calls, and over 650 victims and children accessed emer-gency shelter and transitional housing services during 2014. More than 2,000 victims were unable to access shelter in the same year. There were 5,052 domestic violence-related calls to local law enforcement in 2014, an increase from 3,992 in 2013 and 4,192 in 2012. The County had two domes-tic violence related deaths in 2014, a considerable decrease from eleven deaths in 2013
and nine deaths in 2012. From 1993-2014, there were 253 do-mestic violence related deaths in the County.Santa Clara County residents directly expe-riencing or aware of someone experiencing abuse can get help by calling one of the 24-hour crisis lines below.

The U.S. Supreme Court reconvened on Monday. One of its decisions was to decide not to hear the City of San Jose’s anti-trust claim against Major League Baseball. The S.F. Giants claim San Jose to be part of their sphere of influence/source of fans. The down-town San Jose property set aside for this proposed MLB stadium will now be developed thoughtfully to attract other commercial enterprises which will bring needed jobs. The good news for S.J. taxpayers is that cost of this petition was not un-derwritten by tax revenues.
San José Mayor Sam Lic-cardo released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear
the City’s antitrust claim against Major League Base-ball.
“We knew going into this
litigation that getting a hearing before the U.S. Su-preme Court would be a long shot -- the Court hears only a couple dozen out of the more than 2,000 peti-tions it receives each year. The good news for San Jose taxpayers is that they are not on the hook for the law-yers’ fees. By ensuring that there would be a contin-gency fee arrangement, San José was really betting with house money.
We now have big opportu-
nities in that same Diridon area to bring thousands of jobs to Downtown through a thoughtful redevelop-ment of those industrial parcels. The unique loca-tion of that “ballpark” site-
- particularly its adjacency to the region’s major transit center-- makes it a poten-tial jewel for development, and a promising source of jobs and tax revenue for our residents.
We lost this battle, but we can win the larger endeavor of creating a vibrant, urban epicenter for Silicon Valley by taking advantage of this unique opportunity to com-bine office with retail and entertainment venues in the Downtown,” said Mayor Liccardo.
Additionally, during this new term ‘in session’ the U.S.Supreme Court, known as the ‘John Robert’s Court’, is scheduled to hear cases involving abortion matters; the death penalty; and pub-lic labor unions. The abor-tion case has to do with the closure of almost all clinics
which provide this service in Texas; the death penalty may be unconstitutional because individuals sen-tenced may wait 18 years to be executed; and the public labor unions in states such
as Wisconsin, were denied their collective bargaining rights. The U.S. Supreme Court only hears about 24 petitions per year (out of some 2,000 submitted). Each of these three cases
should be of interest to all citizens, especially those of modest income levels. (Source: City of San Jose, CA and MSNBC News, 10.05.15).

In 2011, the passage of AB109, CA’s Public Safety Realignment Act (com-monly referred to as realign-ment), transferred jurisdic-tion and funding for man-aging lower-level criminal offenders from the State prisons back to county jails. A rehabilitative Adult Reen-try Network was designed and implemented to reduce recidivism. It provides sup-portive services and resourc-es to offenders, both during custody and post-release. After two years, the data base of Realignment’s ReEntry Program indicates success. It established and executed a reentry resource center and service-linkage network, and began the process of examin-
ing and evaluating its reentry programs and services. The objectives of this two-year’s data base review were to de-termine what was working well and where improve-ments are needed; to identify any service barriers; and as-sess whether there were new offenses committed. This two-year evaluation is vital in constructing a roadmap for continually improving this re-entry program.
“It is important that we
measure the connection be-tween services provided to AB 109 clients and tangible benefits that communities reap as a result,” said Supervi-sor Cindy Chavez, Chair, SCC Reentry Network and former Vice Chair, Public Safety and Justice Committee. “The goal is to help individuals re-in-tegrate seamlessly into their families and their communi-
ties as contributing members of society.”
The detailed evaluation,
conducted by Resource De-velopment Associates, ex-amined the full range of pro-grams and services, includ-ing: vocational education, housing, Office of Reentry Services, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral & men-tal health and substance use therapy services, faith based support, and social services
assistance. This evaluation looked at both the rate of re-cidivism, defined as “the oc-currence of convictions (both misdemeanors and felonies) within five years of exiting custody or entering super-vision,” and factors related thereto.
“The good news is that our
local recidivism rate is about half the state average. Our goal is to continue to lower that number and this evalu-
ation report makes several recommendations that will help us get there,” said Su-pervisor Mike Wasserman, Chair, CSC Public Safety and Justice Committee.
This evaluation revealed the need for earlier transition and discharge planning as a tool to help lower recidivism among those at higher risk of committing repeat offenses. In July, CSC began imple-menting this recommenda-tion. CSC’s unique cross-sys-tem of Community Correc-tions Partnership makes this possible.
“One example occurred
last weekend,” Aguirre con-tinued. “A woman who was being released after spending 180 days in jail had no place to go. Because we began ear-lier discharge planning, we were able to provide her with a motel voucher for seven
days, have a faith-based part-ner transport her over the weekend to the motel, and on Monday, bring her here to the Reentry Resource Cen-ter where she got connected with appropriate supportive services. Without this effort, she would have become one more homeless person on the street, spiraling into more difficulty.”
In CA, 65% of those re-leased reoffend, 73% within the first 6 months.
EDITOR’S NOTE: SCC Jail inmates are 50% His-panic; 14% Black; 2% Asian-Americans...Is this the result of ‘profiling’, racism, bias and prejudice? Ethnic commu-nity leaders must become informed advocates for ‘Law Enforcement-Judicial Sys-tem Reform plus become supportively involved.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Mining exploration would be allowed in an area of the Mojave Desert deemed sensi-tive by environmental advo-cates - if a bill introduced last Thursday in Congress passes.
The California Minerals, Off-Road Recreation and Con-servation Act, sponsored by
U.S. Rep. Paul Cook, R-Calif., would allow 150 square miles of mining within the Mojave Trails area, a 1 million-acre section of pristine desert between Twentynine Palms and the Nevada border.
Jim Mattern, who has writ-ten several books on the Mo-jave Desert, opposes the bill.
“Cook’s bill will offer the op-portunity for new mining claims, which really puts the areas into jeopardy,” he said.
“If you want to see land re-main unscarred for future generations, then Cook’s bill is obviously not the way to go.”
Mattern prefers a rival bill by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would estab-lish a national monument at Mojave Trails while allowing existing ATV and salt and gold-mining operations to continue.The Mojave Trails area con-nects Joshua Tree National
Park and the Mojave Nation-al Preserve. It also contains the longest undeveloped stretch of Route 66 in the country.
Frazier Haney, conservation director for the Mojave Des-ert Land Trust, said Mojave Trails is a special area that must be protected.
“Not only are there several species of rare and endan-gered plants, there’s also spe-cies being discovered that are new to science,” he said. “The California desert is really a biological frontier for discov-ery.”Cook’s bill specifically would prevent President Obama from using his powers under
the Antiquities Act to declare a national monument at Mojave Trails. It also would lift environmental protec-tions for a large area in Inyo County.
Cook’s bill soon will be avail-able online at cook.house.gov. Feinstein’s bill is at fein-stein.senate.gov.

SAN FRANCISCO - The big three California utility companies went before the Public Utilities Commission in San Francisco Monday to argue for changes in the way people with rooftop solar are compensated for the energy they feed back into the grid.
Right now under the net me-tering program, solar owners are credited at the same rate the utilities charge. Evan Gil-lespie, director with the Sierra Club, says the changes the utilities want would take away the savings that lead people to install roof top solar.
“If the utilities succeed in making these changes, only the very, very rich are going to be able to afford solar going forward, and that’s a big prob-lem because it’s also taking away one of the single greatest tools that we have to fight cli-mate change and clean up our air,” says Gillespie.
San Diego Gas and Electric, Pacific Gas and Electric, and Edison would like to cut com-pensation to homeowners by about half, and charge higher connection fees, arguing that solar owners don’t contribute enough to the upkeep of the grid.
The Public Utilities Com-mission has until the end of the year to make a decision.
Gillespie says the utilities’ argument doesn’t hold up be-cause solar generators reduce the demand for power from dirtier, more expensive sourc-
es and improve grid reliability.
“It’s a nice story that they have yet to demonstrate data to back up,” he says. “We just made significant changes to how customers pay their bills. Going forward every Califor-nian is gonna to be paying about $10 a month on their bill to cover these types of in-frastructure charges.”
The Sierra Club will hold rallies on this subject over the next three weeks in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

To mark the fourth anniver-sary of Steven Paul Jobs’ death (02/24/1955 - 10/05/2011) current CEO Tim Cook sent out a memo to employees re-membering the fearless lead-er, who co-founded Cuperti-no-based Apple and turned its products into universal icons, as a “dear friend” and “a brilliant person”.
Cook continued by asking, “What is his legacy? I see it all around us: An incredible team that embodies his spirit of innovation and creativ-ity. The greatest products on earth, beloved by customers and empowering hundreds of millions of people around the world.” He then encour-ages employees to speak to someone that worked during Jobs’ reign as CEO to hear how he really was.
On October 9th the unapol-ogetic film by Steven Sorkin, “Steve Jobs” opens for the masses. In it we are led to believe that Jobs was a very flawed, but determined man with a vision. Regardless of its content, there is no doubt that Jobs legacy is one of sheer brilliance and awe.
The entire memo appears below:
Team,
Today marks four years since Steve passed away. On that day, the world lost a vi-sionary. We at Apple lost a leader, a mentor, and many of us lost a dear friend.
Steve was a brilliant person, and his priorities were very simple. He loved his fam-ily above all, he loved Apple, and he loved the people with whom he worked so closely and achieved so much.
Each year since his passing, I have reminded everyone in the Apple community that we share the privilege and re-sponsibility of continuing the work Steve loved so much.
What is his legacy? I see it all around us: An incredible team that embodies his spirit of innovation and creativ-ity. The greatest products on earth, beloved by customers and empowering hundreds of millions of people around the world. Soaring achieve-ments in technology and architecture. Experiences
of surprise and delight. A company that only he could have built. A company with an intense determination to change the world for the bet-ter.
And, of course, the joy he brought his loved ones.
He told me several times in his final years that he hoped to live long enough to see some of the milestones in his children’s lives. I was in his office over the summer with Laurene and their young-est daughter. Messages and drawings from his kids to their father are still there on Steve’s whiteboard.
If you never knew Steve, you probably work with someone who did or who was here when he led Apple. Please stop one of us today and ask what he was really like. Sev-eral of us have posted our personal remembrances on AppleWeb, and I encourage you to read them.
Thank you for honoring Steve by continuing the work he started, and for remem-bering both who he was and what he stood for.

La cantante puertorriqueña Camila Luna - recientemente nominada al premio Latin Grammy 2015 en la categoría Mejor Álbum Pop/Rock por su disco ‘Flamboyán’ - cer-ró con éxito su visita a Los Ángeles luego de grabar su nuevo video y participar en el festival Supersónico el domingo pasado en el Hol-lywood Palladium como in-vitada especial de Mr. Pauer.
La cantautora culminó la grabación de su nuevo video clip de la canción “Siento” en Los Ángeles que se estrenará en las próximas semanas.
Antes de su viaje a Las Ve-
gas, donde asistirá a la cer-emonia de entrega de los Pre-mios Latin Grammy, Camila Luna realizará un concierto en el que celebrará su nomi-nación a estos premios en El Tucán de Miami (www.el-tucanmiami.com).
Luego de su gira de promo-
ción en Miami y Los Ángeles, Camila Luna asistirá a la gala de entrega de los premios el jueves 19 de noviembre en el MGM Grand Garden Arena en Las Vegas (Nevada) en una ceremonia que se trans-mitirá por la cadena Uni-visión.
Su primer disco ‘Flam-boyán’, tiene canciones y melodías originales, compu-estas por ella bajo la produc-ción de José Luis Pardo (Los Amigos Invisibles) y con un sonido acústico, honesto y muy natural, que ha llamado la atención de la critica es-pecializada al igual a fanáti-cos desde que presentó su primer sencillo “Flamboyán”. Además de su carrera como cantante, estudió poesía en la Universidad de Miami donde recibió su título el pasado mes de mayo.

Queer/Art/Mentorship, the multi-disciplinary, inter-gen-erational arts program that pairs and supports mentor-ship between emerging and established LGBTQI artists in NYC, has announced today the eleven Fellows accepted for its 2015-2016 annual mentorship cycle.
Each of the Queer/Art/Mentorship Fellows selected is paired with an established New York-based artist with-in their creative field for the yearlong mentorship. The re-lationship that develops aims to support the artistic and professional practice of the Fellow, as well as to develop community-wide conversa-tions about what it means to generate and curate queer work in New York City and beyond.
The Fellows chosen in five artistic disciplines are Mon-stah Black, Eva Peskin and
Justine Williams in Perfor-mance; Jacob Matkov and Brendan Williams-Childs in Literary; Rodrigo Bellott, Erin Greenwell and Mylo Mendez in Film; Caroline Wells Chandler and Doron Langberg in Visual Arts; and Hugh Ryan in Curatorial.
The Mentors they will be working with for the 2015-2016 Fellowship year are Ar-thur Aviles and Talvin Wilks in Performance; Jaime Man-rique and Sarah Schulman in Literary; Thomas Allen Har-ris, Silas Howard and Stacie Passon in Film; Angela Du-fresne and Avram Finkelstein in Visual Arts; and Shannon Michael Cane in Curatorial.
Founded in 2011 by film-maker Ira Sachs and Pilo-bolus Co-Executive Director Lily Binns, the program has established itself as an ongo-ing force within the city’s LG-BTQI and arts communities, with an expanding series of public events and exhibitions. Queer/Art/Mentorship is one
of several ongoing programs run by the larger Queer/Art organization that includes the popular Queer/Art/Film series held monthly at the IFC Film Center in New York.

La Ouija o güija como co-múnmente se le conoce en español es considerado un juego de mesa, el cuál consta de un tablero en el que están inscritas todas las letras del alfabeto, los números del 0 al 9; a un lado las palabras sí y no, en la parte superior la pa-labra hola y en la parte infe-rior la palabra adiós. Cuenta con un puntero de plástico o madera, el cuál movilizan los jugadores con sus dedos para crear palabras y dar respues-tas.
Este juego de mesa según la creencia popular se creó con la motivación de establecer contacto con los espíritus de los difuntos, guías espiritua-les, almas en pena y extra-terrestres. Existen diversas versiones acerca de la proce-dencia del tablero Ouija, se cree que fue inventado en la
antigua Roma, otras versio-nes remontan su proceden-cia a los tiempos de la gran Babilonia. Otros creen que su verdadero origen se puede trazar a finales del siglo XIX, durante el florecimiento de la cultura espiritista. Se cree que Alan Kardec(1804-1869), místico francés, fue conside-rado como precursor moder-no de la cultura espiritista y quizá el precursor de la Ouija.
El tablero de Ouija que aho-ra conocemos fue creado en el año 1891 y patentado en 1890 por el estadounidense Elijah Jefferson Bond. Con respecto al vocablo Ouija, se creía que significaba mala suerte, sin embargo; William Fuld quién adquirió la patente a media-dos del siglo pasado afirmó que Ouija es una mezcla de los vocablos Oui y Ja, que sig-nifican sí en francés y en ale-mán respectivamente.
En el idioma inglés al table-ro Ouija se le conoce como
Witchboard. Este juego de mesa debe ser maniobrado con mucha cautela, aunque se encuentra en el mercado como un juego para infan-tes, es aconsejable que sean personas mayores de edad quiénes lo maniobren ya que existen todo tipo de aven-turas extrañas, posesiones espirituales y eventos sobre naturales asociados al juego Ouija.
En una sesión para jugar a la Ouija, generalmente se precisa de cuatro personas, cada una de ellas representa-rá uno de los cuatro elemen-tos primarios(tierra, aire, fuego y agua) se encienden alrededor del tablero cuatro velas blancas simbolizando los cuatro puntos cardinales y se coloca como ofrenda a los espíritus, una copa con agua cerca del tablero. Al iniciar la sesión se debe rezar una oración e invocar la presencia de espíritus de luz y ángeles, si
esto no se hace, se puede dar espacio para que sean espíri-tus malignos los que asistan a la sesión. Posteriormente se hacen preguntas las que irán siendo contestadas una a una mientras el puntero se mueve letra por letra hasta formar una palabra coherente.
El puntero es movilizado por los dedos del consultante el cuál es dirigido por el ente espiritual que se hace pre-sente durante la sesión. Se comprueba que una sesión está siendo asistida por uno o más espíritus si en la misma se siente una brisa fresca y una disminución de la tem-peratura ambiental, ruidos y destellos de luz también pue-den ser advertidos. Se tiene la creencia que las mejores ocasiones para maniobrar el tablero Ouija, se realizan du-rante los festivales sabats de la religión wicca ( 2 de febrero, 21 de marzo, 30 de abril, 21 de junio, 1 de agosto, 21 de septiembre, 31 de octubre y 21 de diciembre) también las noches de luna llena y durante los días de eclipses. Al finalizar la sesión se debe bendecir a los espíritus y se finaliza rezando una oración.
Las iglesias católicas, cristia-nas y musulmanas están en total desacuerdo con que se practique el juego de Ouija, ya que lo consideran como una puerta de entrada a entes malignos y fuerzas diabólicas. La Ouija debe ser tratada con seriedad para algunos es un pasatiempo inofensivo, para otros un culto a la hechicería.

San Jose moves above the red line with draw vs. Supporters’ Shield contender
San Jose CALIFORNIA
The San Jose Earthquakes used a second-half goal from forward Chris Wondolowski to earn a vital point against Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a 1-1 draw at Avaya Stadium on Saturday night. Wondolowski tallied his 20th career goal in the month of October, eight more than any other player in MLS history.
In the 21st minute, midfielder Shea Salinas created a chance for San Jose with a strong individual effort. After receiving a pass on the left flank, Salinas took on two defenders before slotting a pass in front of keeper David Ousted. The ball rolled all the way through the box just yards from net, but did not connect with any oncoming attackers.
Vancouver took a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute. After a scrum in front of net, a clearance attempt by Quakes defender Shaun Francis bounced off of Cristian Techera and looped over keeper David Bingham’s outstretched arms.
San Jose drew level in the 62nd minute. Defender Marvell Wynne played a through ball to midfielder Cordell Cato, who outran his defender to the ball. Cato had a shot, which was saved by keeper David Ousted, but the loose ball fell dangerously in front of goal. Wondolowski was the first man to it and calmly slotted the rebound home. It marked Wondolowski’s 16th goal of the season and 109th of his career, and he moved into sole possession of fifth place on the league’s all-time scoring leaderboard. Wondolowski’s 10th goal against Vancouver is the most among all players since the club entered MLS play in 2011.
As San Jose pushed for the game winner, a stoppage-time turnover led to a breakaway for Whitecaps FC. However, Bingham rushed out to clean up a heavy touch and secure a huge point for the home side.
Following a bye week, San Jose plays their third of three consecutive matches at Avaya Stadium against Sporting Kansas City on Friday, October 16, presented by Stanford Health Care. The match kicks off at 8:00 p.m. PT and will be broadcast live on CSN California, 1590 KLIV and 1370 KZSF.

Forward Joe Thornton and Logan Couture Will Serve as Alternate Captains
The San Jose Sharks have named Joe Pavelski as the ninth full time captain in club history. Head Coach Peter DeBoer made the announcement following this Monday’s practice at Sharks Ice.
Pavelski is entering his 10th season in the league after being selected 205th overall by San Jose in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. The forward’s 228 career goals are second in franchise history, behind only Patrick Marleau. Pavelski ended 2014-15 ranked 2nd in the NHL in power play goals (19), tied for 5th in the NHL in goals (37) and tied for 17th in points (70).
The Big Pavelski is the reigning Sharks Player of the Year for the last two seasons and has represented Team USA in the last two Olympic competitions, winning a silver medal in 2010.

This coming weekend the Berryessa Flea Market will host its yearly Open Air Community Health Fair as part of the Binational Health Week. Now in its 15th year the nonprofit Health Trust, among other agencies and organizations, collaborate to bring health information, health services, and guidance to those who seek it, free of charge.
Paul Hepfer, Vice President
of Programs for the Health Trust, has been part of this collaboration for years now. He says of the Health Trust, “we really have a diverse port-folio of the type of promotion programs we provide any-where from clinical type of case management for people with HIV, meals on wheels for low income seniors, we do children’s dental programs, family health insurance and a number of health fair and diabetes prevention and management programs.”
This collaboration was con-ceived after a children’s fair event more than a decade ago. “It was really thanks to Rich Alvari (Marketing Di-rector of the Berryessa Flea Market),” says Hepfer. “About 15 years ago they had a chil-dren’s fair and some of our staff came to provide some health information at this fair. Rich said ‘I wonder if we could do something that was just all about health, and
would you guys help with that.
Hepfer says the location of the flea market and its di-verse clientele allows for a great amount of interaction across many types of people. “I think that one thing that I really like about the venue is that it's such a diverse group of people at the flea market. Since we started doing this we were so impressed by our ability to reach the audience.”
In order to create the level of service for the people at-tending the health fair, the Health Trust looked at other health fair models to perfect something that benefitted everyone that would stop by. “We actually looked at a lot of health fairs from around the country. Some of the criticism of health fairs was that sure you’re providing information to people but if you’re not connecting them to resources and doing fol-low ups you’re not doing as much as you should or could be doing. So what we set out to make our health fair was a way to engage people in their own health, empower them with the knowledge that they might have not had before.”
Another great method of connecting with the commu-nity is that the medical staff are primarily from the same communities as the attend-ees. “They know that they’re from the same neighbor-hoods and the same apart-ment complexes, (and) same
homes that are receiving the services. So we think that the connection and follow ups are much stronger because we are using fellow commu-nity members that provide the service.”
The help doesn’t end when the health fair is over. Hep-fer says, “beyond saying it doesn’t end, I would say it only actually starts there. To describe it as an ‘event’ in some ways does a disservice to the health fair. It’s really the kick off to many people because they have new infor-mation about their health, it’s really a way for them to take it and go further.”
And that is the ultimate dif-ference between other health fairs and the flea market one is that there is involvement in following up with people that may experience any challeng-es getting into services after the fair. “That the distinction we really make, where other health fairs may just provide information or resources or some knowledge. We kind of feel it’s our responsibility and take it to the next level and make sure people really understand what to do with that information,” adds Hep-fer.
Hepfer adds that having that relationship with the flea market has been one of the most important com-munity outreach locations they’ve had the opportunity to provide service in. “On any given Sunday there’s 14 thou-sand people there, many are underinsured or not insured at all and are able to con-nect them with resources on a weekly basis, not just once a year.”
The 2015 Open Air Health Fair will be on Saturday, Oc-tober 10th and Sunday, Oc-tober 11th at The San Jose Flea Market. This event and services are free. For more in-formation please visit:
