Ley de la Asamblea 57, legislación introducida por el Asambleísta Jim Beall para añadir un nuevo asien-to para la ciudad de San José en la Comisión Me-tropolitana de Transporte (MTC), fue firmada como ley por el gobernador Jerry Brown.

La nueva ley, que se pre-vé entrará en vigor el 1 de enero, aumenta el número de miembros de la comi-sión de 19 a 21. Permite que el alcalde de San José para designar a un miembro y se expande el número total de

miembros del Condado de Santa Clara a tres en la co-misión. El MTC sirve como el transporte regional, coor-dinación, y la financiación de la agencia de los nueve condados del Área de la Ba-hía.

“Este es un gran día para San José’’, dijo Jim Beall. “Somos la ciudad más gran-de en el área de la bahía y ahora en realidad tendre-mos un papel más impor-tante cuando se trata de fondos para proyectos de transporte como el BART a San José y el mejoramiento

de nuestras carreteras”.

“Otras versiones de este proyecto de ley había sido presentado y fueron derro-tados. Estoy muy conten-to AB 57 evitó ese destino. Tomó mucha negociaciones para conseguir este proyec-to de ley aprobado”.

El proyecto de ley tam-bién le da al alcalde de Oakland, la facultad de nombrar a un representan-te. Con el cambio en la ley, los condados de Santa Cla-ra, Alameda y San Francis-co tiene tres miembros con voto en la comisión.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com JULY 20 - JULY 26, 20124 OPINION

Would you believe the House of Representatives, U.S. Congress, recently pro-posed cutbacks for the De-partment of Agriculture’s food programs? Rather than consider other meth-ods for dealing with the massive national budget deficit, the House Repub-lican leadership seems to be willing to take away ac-cess to food from the needy. What is their problem? Why can’t the “George W. Bush tax cuts” for the wealthy be allowed to expire? Why try to reduce the national debt through the empty stom-achs of hungry individuals in America?

The CalFresh Program, formerly known as Food Stamps and federally known as the Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program (SNAP), can add to the food budget of the needy unem-ployed and disabled to put healthy and nutritious food on their table. The CalFresh Program helps to improve the health and well-being of qualified households and individuals by providing them a means to meet their nutritional needs.

“Making America Stron-ger” commemorates the 30th anniversary of the re-forms achieved by the Food Stamp Act of 1977 by telling the story of how food stamps dramatically reduced the extent of severe hunger in our country, how they con-tinue to help Americans in need, and how this essential program is necessary for maintaining the health and wellness of a larger segment of the American population in these times of high un-employment and underem-ployment.

On Tuesday, July 9h, Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said “The reason why these num-bers have gone up is that we’ve done a pretty good job getting the word out about this program. We’re now

working with the states to make sure that people who are eligible get the benefits.”

The number of people on food stamps has been grow-ing to record levels for 30 straight months. The latest report from the Agriculture Department showed nearly 46 million people -- or one in seven Americans -- were enrolled as of May 2012 in the Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program (SNAP).

The numbers are an out-come of the economic times -- with high unemployment forcing people to apply for government help to feed their families.

Vilsack claimed the food stamps have a simulative effect, by pumping money into the local economy in the same way as unemploy-ment benefits. “It’s the most direct stimulus you can get into the economy during tough times,” Vilsack said, claiming every dollar in food stamp spending gener-ates $1.84 in local economic activity.

The total cost of the program in May 2012 was over $6 billion. If Vilsack’s theory holds, that’s $11 bil-lion in extra economic ac-tivity. America’s Midwest is experiencing an extreme drought this year with some 2,000 counties declared to be in crisis. This drought will impact the volume of corn, wheat, soybeans, and other foods. That in turn, will lead to higher food costs which means that more needy people will qualify for food stamp assistance.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture also provides funding to support five meal and milk programs to assist schools, districts, and other non-profit agencies in pro-viding nutritious meals and milk to children at reason-able prices, or free to quali-fied applicants. These five programs are: the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Seamless Summer Feeding Option, Special Milk Pro-gram, and State Meal Pro-gram. Will these successful programs also be curtailed? If anything, cutbacks will impact the school luncheon programs which ensure that schools located in extreme poverty areas can continue to provide at least one nutri-tious meal per school day to attending school students.

What can an individual like you do? One thing is to text a message to your con-gressional representative telling them to leave these effective food programs alone. Another thing you can do is to make a contri-bution to the Sacred Heart Community Center, located at Alma/Market Street in San Jose. Executive Direcor Pancho Guevarra’s staff has been very effective in con-tinuing to provide bags of food to the needy. In addi-tion, Second Harvest Food Bank could use donations. Both organizations have the ability to buy food wholesale which stretch the dollars contributed.

Local Latina community activist Sofia Mendoza said, “One thing congress should not do is to take food away from hungry people. If Con-gress does that, it shows no compassion, no sensitiv-ity, no nothing. If I did not feed my dog, my neighbors would report me and an au-thority would cite me. We, the people must tell Con-gress to find the national debt paybacks somewhere else.”

Summer is a great time for family friendly outdoor activities: bicycling, swim-ming, hiking, and more. However there are impor-tant safety tips to remember to keep your family safe.

Pool Safety

A very popular activity to beat the heat is swimming. However the risk of injury or drowning is always pres-ent. Never leave children unattended by adults in or near a pool or spa, even for a moment. Consider using swim vests for young chil-dren to allow them to feel comfortable in the water and learn how to swim.

CPR

For the unforeseen cir-cumstances, knowing Car-dio Pulmonary Resuscita-tion (CPR) can literally save lives. And it has become easier than ever to learn. The American Heart Asso-ciation says it is not neces-sary to provide breathing as a part of CPR. They de-termined that chest com-pressions at the rate of 100 times per minute provide better recovery rates than compression and breathing.

Rural Metro, the county’s emergency ambulance pro-vider, is giving free hands-only CPR training for residents and community members. The training only takes about 15 minutes and is very easy. If you or your organization is interested, please call Rural/Metro at 408-645-7310 or email [email protected].

Helmet Requirements for Minors

In California, minors are required by law to wear hel-mets when riding bicycles, scooters, skateboards and roller skates. While not required, it is also highly recommended for adults to wear helmets when riding. Not only does it offer pro-tection, but it also provides a good example to follow. The cost of a bicycle helmet is minimal compared to what could happen if you

are in an accident without wearing one.

Heat Exposure

The Bay Area is very for-tunate to have a relatively mild climate, but occasion-ally it does get hot. It is im-portant to be mindful of its negative effects, particular-ly for children, pets and the elderly. Never leave children or pets unattended in cars as the temperature inside can rise to dangerous levels very quickly even when it is mild outside.

If you need to be out-doors, quality sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays can help reduce damage. Physi-cal barriers such as hats, sunglasses and long sleeved shirts can also protect your skin.

The most important habit to form on hot days is to stay hydrated and stay

cool. If you don’t have air conditioning at home, there are many public spaces that have air conditioning such as shopping malls and pub-lic libraries.

Fire safety

The summer is a great time to visit the county’s great parks and trails. Un-fortunately it is also peak fire season. If you are in an area that allows campfires, do not leave them unat-tended. Be sure they are completely extinguished be-fore leaving the campsite or turning in for the night.

There is no smoking in county parks; therefore there shouldn’t be any con-cern about lit cigarettes causing wildfires. But if you are in an area that al-lows smoking, completely extinguish any matches and cigarettes and dispose of them in proper containers. Cigarettes are notorious for causing wildfires.

If you would like more information on any of these tips, please contact me at 408-299-5030 or [email protected].

SpEciAL tO EL OBSERVADOR

On June 29, the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara (HACSC) sub-mitted a revised Moving to Work Plan that removed its controversial proposed “rent reform”. The Department of Housing and Urban Devel-opment (HUD) immediate-ly approved the revised plan.

“Rent reform” was dropped after repeated pro-tests by tenants and hous-ing advocates, because it would have raised rents for many of the poorest resi-dents of Silicon Valley. Ten-

Organizing gets resultsants argued that since their incomes had not increased, and since prices of food, gasoline, and other necessi-ties were all going up, there was no way they could af-ford a rent increase as well. Seniors and disabled felt especially targeted since they were already affected by budget cuts coming from Sacramento.

In spite of this good news, some tenants cautioned that we dare not relax our vigi-lance. The HUD letter to HACSC pointed out that it expected them to draw up a new rent reform proposal

in the coming year. Tenants must actively participate in this process if they hope to prevent rent increases in the future.

Finally, regardless of the outcome of the November election, the Federal govern-ment is preparing a “fiscal cliff ” this winter to justify cruel cuts to housing, health care, and other basic human services. Tenants need to ORGANIZE NOW if they want to prevent further cuts in housing and all the other programs they need to sur-vive. Call (408) 691-6153 if you want to get involved.

Se calcula que más de la mitad de los estadouni-denses adultos no tienen redactado un testamento que indique la forma en que se distribuirán sus bienes después de su muerte. Mu-chos menos se han preocu-pado por designar a alguien para que tome decisiones financieras y de salud en su nombre si ellos no pueden hacerlo. Y ahora podemos agregar otro documento legal que también es nece-sario, pero que probable-mente se pase por alto: un testamento para los medios sociales.

Así es –en esta era del correo electrónico, cuentas protegidas con contraseñas, y sitios de medios sociales como Facebook y LinkedIn, el Gobierno estadounidense ha señalado recientemente por qué es importante que las personas dejen instruc-ciones sobre cómo desean que se manejen sus identi-dades en Internet después de su muerte.

El blog del gobierno, www.usa.gov, recomienda designar a algún familiar o amigo de confianza para actuar como su “albacea de internet”, que asuma la res-ponsabilidad de cerrar sus cuentas de correo electró-nico, perfiles de los medios sociales y blogs después de su muerte. Esto se podría anexar fácilmente a su tes-tamento, si es que tiene uno.

Las acciones sugeridas que lo ayudarán a redactar su testamento para medios sociales son:

• Leer las políticas de privacidad y los términos y condiciones de cada sitio web de los que participe.

• Especificar cómo desea que se manejen sus perfiles. Tal vez desee que se cancelen por completo o que se man-tengan para que sus amigos y familiares los visiten y compartan sus pensamien-tos. Algunos sitios permiten que sus herederos creen un perfil de conmemoración en el que los demás puedan se-guir viendo su perfil pero no publicar nada nuevo.

• Dar a su albacea para medios sociales un listado

¿Por qué se necesita un testamento para medios sociales?

de todos los sitios web en los que tenga un perfil, junto con sus nombres de usuario y contraseñas.

• Establecer en su testa-mento que se debe entregar a su albacea de Internet una copia de su certificado de defunción, ya que puede necesitarlo como compro-bante para que los sitios web realicen acciones en su nombre.

Y yo haría una cosa más, y sugiero que usted también lo haga: dejar instrucciones para poder acceder a sus dispositivos y cuentas pro-tegidas con contraseñas, incluyendo computadoras, teléfonos celulares, y cuen-tas bancarias en línea. Lo último que quisiera es que sus dolidos deudos tengan que tratar de adivinar los nombres de usuario y con-traseñas de sus cuentas.

Si usted ha estado evi-tando hacer un testamento o alguno de estos otros do-cumentos, aquí va un buen motivador: Si bien los testa-mentos no son obligatorios, si no tiene uno al momento de su muerte, el estado de-cidirá cómo se distribui-rán sus bienes. Del mismo modo, si usted no ha otor-gado un poder a otra per-sona para que maneje sus asuntos financieros y de sa-lud, alguna otra persona—y no necesariamente la perso-na que usted desea—tomará las decisiones financieras y de salud por usted, si usted

no puede hacerlo a causa de un accidente o enfermedad.

Estas son algunas de las cosas que pueden salir mal si no da a conocer sus de-seos:

• El tribunal testamenta-rio puede retener sus bienes y esto puede generar costo-sos cargos.

• Como el estado suele otorgar los bienes heredita-rios a los cónyuges supérs-tites, hijos y otros familia-res, sus amigos y entidades benéficas favoritas podrían quedarse sin nada.

• Sin un testamento, el estado decide quién cuida a los hijos menores de edad cuyos padres han fallecido.

• Tal vez no se respeten sus preferencias en cuanto a, por ejemplo, los procedi-mientos para mantenerlo con vida o las instrucciones para su funeral.

Los documentos más im-portantes que pueden evitar estas situaciones son: un testamento, un fideicomiso en vida revocable, poderes notariales para cuestiones financieras y de salud, y un testamento en vida.

En la era de Internet, se-guramente su legado conti-nuará vivo por mucho tiem-po después de su muerte. Hágale un favor a su familia y ahórreles el problema de tener que lidiar con estos temas ocupándose de ellos ahora.

The 40th Annual Schol-arship Awards Banquet, sponsored by the San Jose GI Forum Scholarship Founda-tion, happened on July 12, at Mexico Lindo Restaurant in San Jose. About 80 indi-viduals attended including recipients, proud parents, foundation board members, former California Assembly member Joe Coto, and other special guests who were wel-comed and introduced by M.C. Jesse Rizzo.

Former ‘Commander’ Mario Sanchez led the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ fol-lowed by Hilbert Morales, who, before reciting the prayer of St. Francis of As-sisi, asked those present for a moment of meditative silence for all our troops in the Mideast. A buffet din-ner followed.

Moving the scheduled

SJ GI Forum’s 40th Annual Scholarship Awardsprogram right along, Lete-tia Rodriguez, President of this non-profit foundation established in 1973, intro-duced its current board members. These include V.P. Rebecca Campos, Trea-surer Marie De La Cruz, Rose Flores, Rosa Campos, Mario Sanchez, Jesse Riz-zo, Dolores Marquez, Esau Herrera, and Hilbert Mo-rales.

V.P. Rebecca Campos introduced the keynote speaker, the Honorable Judge Adoralida (Dora) Padilla, Worker’s Compen-sation Appeal Board, San Jose District Office. Judge Padilla eloquently described her personal journey which included graduation from a local ESUHSD high school, part time attendance at lo-cal community colleges, and attendance at Lincoln Law School where she earned her law degree. The Judge presented a Latina role model case which was poi-

gnant at those times when her personal perseverance in attainment of her goal was presented simply and directly.

Board members Rosa Campos, Rose Flores, Esau Herrera and Dolores Mar-quez presented $1,000 scholarship awards to:

Cynthia Garcia, Xiomara Garcia, Amairani Jimenez Guzman, Jesse Landaverde, Arturo Osorio Solano, Ma-ria Mandujano, and Sandra Rosas. One of these schol-arships was sponsored by Mrs. Anita Campos with Rebecca Campos making the ‘family presentation’ from the Dan Campos Me-

morial Fund. In each case, the scholarship presenta-tion was made to the stu-dent and his parents who were asked to accompany their son/daughter to the podium. Parents were all appropriately recognized for their consistent support of their children as future scholars.

Treasurer Marie De La Cruz informed all about the need to ‘stay in touch’, keep the foundation informed re-garding which college was being attended, and wished all students well in their ac-ademic efforts.

Board member Hilbert Morales noted that the sources of money for these scholarship awards come from local professionals, small businesses, memorial funds (Dan Campos & Aye Dios Mio Fund), local com-munity organizations such as the National Hispanic Scholarship Foundation of Silicon Valley (Ron Gonza-les, Exec. Dir.) and Hispanic Development Corporation (David Sandate, President). Morales noted that this was a very good development because it was the commu-nity revealing its care and concern for supportive de-velopment of its own youth as future professionals and community leaders.

(Left to right) Arturo Osorio Solano, Amairani Jimenez Guzman, Maria Mandujano, Cynthia Garcia, Sandra Rosas, Xiomara Garcia, and Jesse Landaverde were recipients of $1,000 scholarships.

Una nueva ley está mejorando el acceso al cuidado de salud.

NAPSM

La nueva ley del cuidado de salud incluye unas pro-visiones que ayudan a per-sonas con cáncer y quienes tienen mayor riesgo de de-sarrollar cáncer a obtener atención médica de calidad mas fácilmente y en forma mas accesible. La ley tam-bién incluye medidas im-portantes que ayudarán a mejorar el sistema de aten-ción de salud para los his-panos y personas afectadas por el cáncer en forma des-proporcionada.

Alrededor del 50 por ciento de las muertes por cáncer son prevenibles, sin embargo, muchas personas sin seguro o con insuficiente cobertura, retrasan o no se realizan pruebas de segui-miento debido al costo. Es-tudios realizados por la So-ciedad Americana Contra el

Una nueva ley está mejorando el acceso al

cuidado de saludCáncer demostraron que las personas sin seguro tienen una mayor probabilidad de ser diagnosticados con cán-cer en etapas avanzadas y de fallecer como consecuencia. Mejorar el acceso al cuidado de salud de calidad asegura-rá que todos podrán obtener atención médica que necesi-tan.

Las provisiones de la Ley de Atención Médica Asequi-ble (Affordable Care Act) proporcionan a las personas con cáncer y sus familias mejor acceso al cuidado que necesitan y cuando lo nece-sitan. Por ejemplo:

•Los nuevos planes de se-guro en cada estado propor-cionan cobertura a personas sin seguro médico por más de seis meses y que tienen una condición preexistente como el cáncer.

•Los planes de salud ya

no pueden establecer lími-tes de por vida en el pago de cobertura que pueden en forma repentina obligar al paciente asumir los gastos de atención médica que po-drían salvarle la vida.

•La cobertura está ga-rantizada y los gastos de bolsillo han sido eli minados en nuevos planes de seguro para servicios comprobados de prevención y detección temprana como mamogra-fías, colonoscopías y exá-menes Pap. Los planes de salud no pueden negarle la cobertura a niños menores de 19 años con condiciones preexistentes como el cán-cer y, a partir del 2014, los planes no podrán rechazar a ninguna persona que tenga condiciones preexistentes.

•Ahora los niños podrán permanecer en la póliza de seguro de sus padres hasta los 26 años de edad.

•Los planes de salud es-tán prohíbidos de cancelar la cobertura debido a que una persona se ha enferma-do.

•Los servicios preven-tivos son gratuitos para los pacientes inscritos en Medicare, quienes además pueden obtener una visita gratuita de chequeo de bien-estar anual y además recibir un plan de prevención per-sonalizado.

La ley también ayudará a las personas que enfren-tan obstáculos para obtener atención médica mediante el:

•Financiamiento de cen-tros de salud comunitarios que se encuentran en luga-res donde la obtención de atención médica es difícil; así, más personas obten-drán el cuidado que necesi-tan.

•Mejorar la manera en que se determina y se utili-za información sobre raza, etnicidad, género, idioma y nivel de discapacidad. Esto es imprescindible si preten-demos aprender más sobre las barreras enfrentadas por algunos grupos y así poder encontrar la mejor manera de disminuirlos.

•Aumentar a partir del 2014 la cobertura de Me-dicaid para incluir aquellos adultos cuyos ingresos so-brepasan por lo menos en un tercio el índice oficial de pobreza im puesto por el go-bierno federal; de esta ma-nera, más personas podrán obtener atención preventiva y tratamiento médico.

ACS CAN, la entidad afi-liada a la Sociedad Ameri-cana Contra el Cáncer está dedicada a asegurar que estos progresos se lleven a cabo en forma que benefi-ciarán a las personas con cáncer y a sus familias.

• Comer cinco frutas y verduras al día. Las frutas y verduras son fuentes im-portantes de vitaminas es-enciales para personas de cualquier edad, y además ayudan a regular el peso. Son más fáciles de incor-porar a la dieta de los ni-ños cuando se mezclan con otras comidas (broccoli en el arroz o verduras en el sándwich). Pero también se pueden combinar y hacer un jugo nutritivo.

• Preparar comidas ba-jas en grasas y azúcares. Para tener un estilo de vida sano hay que comprar pro-ductos como leche, yogurt y queso bajos en grasas, y

cereales u otros productos con bajo contenido de azú-car. Además se recomienda hornear o asar la comida en lugar de freírla o usar aceite vegetal o de oliva en lugar de manteca.

• Servir bocadillos sa-ludables. Siempre es una buena idea tener bocadil-los saludables preparados para los niños, incluyendo zanahorias cortadas y fruta fresca picada como fresas o manzanas.

• Cuidar el tamaño de las porciones. Una suger-encia es servir platos más pequeños para los niños y no obligarlos a terminar toda la comida si ya están satisfechos.

• Apagar la televisión y salir a jugar. Las computa-doras, tabletas electrónicas y los teléfonos inteligentes ofrecen entretenimiento a toda hora. Para aumentar la actividad física hay que guardar estos aparatos y salir al parque o a andar en bicicleta, correr o caminar. Los niños deberían partici-par en actividades físicas moderadas por un total de 60 minutos al día.

•Dormir lo suficiente. Dormir es esencial para un estilo de vida saludable. Los niños menores de cinco años necesitan dormir 11 horas por día, los niños en-tre 5 y 10 años, 10 horas por día; y los niños mayores de 10 años nueve horas por día.

Consejos sencillos para tener un estilo de vida más saludable

Cavalia returns to the Bay Area for the second time. In 2010, the great horse show was in San Francisco, now it will be in San Jose until the second week of August. Before arriving in the states, the horses and their rid-ers toured Mexico City and across Europe.

It’s a show that has lights, projections, dancers, acro-bats, horses, and live musi-cians but the first thing you notice is the smell of hay. Everything happens inside a giant white tent that you can see at the intersection of the US-101 and CA-87.

That said, I want to add that guests should try to ar-rive early because you can get stuck in traffic. I learned that opening night, which was July 18.

The concept of Cavalia is about the relationship be-tween humans and horses. It also explains the role humans play in the horses lives. It is a tremendous pro-duction with more than 30 artists and 48 horses partic-ipating in 11 different races.

The stage was decorated with horses, the kind that children receive as gifts ,only to be knocked down by real, live horses. The be-ginning of the show is a very profound moment shared with the audience through a projection. I will not say more than that because I do not want to spoil the mo-ment.

But I can share that there’s a feeling of excite-ment, of discovery and you can really understand the one on one relationship that people have worked for with their four-legged animals.

“There’s no need to be fond of horses because this is magical. It’s like a dream with horses but it is real,” said Laura Baubry, trick rider for Cavalia.

As a child, Baubry re-members loving horses. No one in her family rides, but she recalls that at three years of age she was crazy about them. She always found time to remind her mother that she wanted to

Relationship between horses and humans explored

ride and received her first lesson at six.

She has been working for Cavalia for two and a half years, where the public can see her being part of ‘Carou-sel’ with Nacarado II a pure Spanish bred horse.

The opening act, after intermission, really puts you back in the show. The audience can obtain an un-derstanding that horses are serene mammals, consider-ing the backdrop where they trot along.

“When I saw the show for the first time I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life,” said Baubry.

The trick rider first saw the show six years ago. She then decided that she wanted to be part of Cava-lia and started her training. Three years later she began her dream of working with horses that she had had since childhood.

“It gives me a lot of adrenaline because I can-not fail because there are many people looking at me. It’s amazing to be doing this performance,” explained Baubry.

She even does aerial tricks on her horse Ole, a Quarter horse that moves at a gallop. That particular breed can go very quickly in a short time. She loves the mentality of her co-worker-- it is something very precious to her.

The public also has the opportunity to see how tame horses can be, as well as how smart and excep-tional they are. The show captures the original beau-ty and the presence of the horse in its entirety.

And what kind of specta-cle would be, of such caliber like Cavalia, without some acrobats doing crazy tricks? Well don’t worry, there’s plenty of that. Not only do they manage to do stunts on horses but also in the air and with trampolines. There are moments of sus-pense and fun.

“It’s for the whole family, people of all ages, especially children, who love to watch horses on stage,” said Bau-bry.

Cavalia regresa al área de la bahía por segunda vez. En el 2010, el gran espectáculo de caballos se presento en San Francisco, ahora estará en San José hasta le segun-da semana de agosto. Antes de llegar a los Estados Uni-dos, los caballos y sus jinetes terminaron su gira en Euro-pa y en la Ciudad de México.

Es un espectáculo que tiene luces, proyecciones, bailarinas, acróbatas, caba-llos, y músicos en vivo, sin embargo lo primero que se nota es el olor a paja. Todo pasa dentro de una carpa blanca gigantesca que se puede mirar cruzando el US-101 y CA-87.

Dicho eso, quiero añadir trate de llegar temprano porque te puedes quedar atascado en el trafico. Yo aprendí eso la noche del es-treno, que fue el 18 de julio.

El concepto de Cavalia es sobre la relación entre los humanos y los caballos, también explica cómo es estar en la vida de ellos. Es una producción tremenda realizada por más de 30 ar-tistas y 48 caballos de 11 ra-zas distintas.

El escenario estaba ador-nado con caballitos, de esos que los niños reciben como regalos solo para ser derri-bados por unos de carne y hueso. Al comienzo de la función se comparte un momento muy profundo a través de una proyección.

Relación entre caballos y seres humanos explorado

No diré más que eso porque no quiero echar a perder ese momento.

Pero si quiero compartir que se siente la emoción de descubrimiento y se puede realmente entender la re-lación uno con otro, de las personas que han trabajado entro ellos y sus animales de cuatro patas.

“No hace falta que les gusten los caballos a la gen-te porque esto es mágico, es como un sueño a caballo que si es verdad”, dijo Laura Baubry, jinete de truco para Cavalia.

Baubry recuerda que de niña siempre le encantaban los caballos. Nadie en su fa-milia monta pero recuerda que desde los tres años es-taba loca por ellos. Siempre le recordaba a su mama que quería montar y a los seis años empezó.

Ha estado trabajando con Cavalia por dos años y medio donde el público la puede ver ser parte del ‘ca-rrusel’ con Nacarado II de raza pura española.

El acto de apertura des-pués del intermedio real-mente te pone de vuelta en el show. Se obtiene un entendimiento de que los caballos son mamíferos se-renos teniendo en cuenta el telón de fondo a lo largo de donde trotan.

“Cuando vi el espectáculo por primera vez no sabía lo que quería ser con mi vida”, dijo Baubry.

La jineta primero vio el

espectáculo hace seis años, así mismo decidió que ella quería ser parte de Cavalia. Empezó su entrenamien-to para después realizar su sueño de trabajar con caba-llos que tuvo desde su niñez.

“Me da mucha adrenali-na porque no puedo fallar, porque hay mucha gente que esta mirándome pero es increíble estar haciendo esta actuación”, explico Baubry.

Ella incluso hace figuras acrobáticas sobre su caba-llo Ole de raza Cuarto Milla que se mueve a galope. Esta raza en especial puede ir muy rápidamente en poco tiempo. A ella le fascina la mentalidad de su compañe-ro de trabajo, se le hace algo muy precioso.

El público tiene la opor-tunidad de ver que tan dó-ciles son los caballos pueden ver además lo inteligente y excepcional que son en na-turaleza. El show igualmen-te captura la belleza original y la presencia del caballo en su totalidad.

Y que sería un espectácu-lo de la calibre de Cavalia sin algunos acróbatas haciendo trucos locos, no se preocu-pe, si lo hay. No solo lo lo-gran sobre caballos además los realizan en el aire y con trampolines. Hay momen-tos de suspenso y diversión.

“Es para toda la familia, para todas las edades, espe-cialmente para los niños que les encanta ver a los caballos moverse en el escenario”, dijo Baubry.

Entertaining people has been Aki Starr’s passion since his early teens, when he performed as a break dancer on Powell Street in his hometown of San Fran-cisco. He is known interna-tionally as a 5 star threat for his singing, songwriting, producing, acting and mod-eling. Starr’s Pop music has been featured in popular TV shows. He is an accom-plished actor, appearing as Cesar Chavez in the highly acclaimed musical adapta-tion of Cesar’s life in ‘Let the Eagle Fly’.

The Bay Area has been a big influence in Aki’s musi-cal career as the lead singer of Jorge Santana’s (Car-los’ younger brother) Latin Rock band, Malo. From 2004-2011, Starr toured with Malo. “Jorge’s band is known for their hit “Suave-cito” and I was the youngest lead singer that the band had ever had,” Starr says. “It was an exciting time for me

and an honor to perform with such great musicans.” Starr’s most recent project with Jorge Santana is ‘Gra-cias Madrecita’ released in 2011. Starr will tour with Jorge Santana again in 2013. Other musical influ-ences include Stevie Won-der and Boys to Men.

During the height of the Freestyle musical era in the mid ’90s, he was a singer with Warner Bros group Spanish Fly. San Jose be-came known as the Free-style capitol of the West Coast in the early ’90s and Spanish Fly performed fre-quently at local venues but became recognized as a Billboard 100 and interna-tionally acclaimed Freestyle group quickly.

Starr now owns his own record label, Renegade, and recently released his first single “The Closer I Get To You”, which is a remake of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway’s classic love bal-lad from 1977. Starr will be releasing a Spanish version of the song shortly. The sin-

gle is getting international radio and club play in North America, Europe, Asia, South and Latin America.

“Today teens are listen-ing to dubstep dance music and I wanted to capture that energy with this song,” Starr says.

Starr added that the song, being played through-out the world in place like Brazil, Russia and Italy, is receiving great reviews in those countries.

“Now I’m currently working hard to promote the song in the states, espe-cially on the West Coast , by visiting several of the Top 40 stations across the coun-try,” Starr says.

On Saturday July 21, Starr will perform with TLC and Sister Sledge in the “Gone But Not Forgotten” Mega Concert in San Jose. “This will be the first time I perform with TLC without Left Eye,” Starr says. “I am really looking forward to this event to showcase my current single.”

Senior citizens are increasingly eschewing assisted living, senior communi-ties and nursing homes in favor of living at home as they age.

Approximately 90 percent want to remain in their own homes as long as possible, according to the AARP. However, while staying home allows for com-fort and independence, the prospect of facing emergencies alone can be scary.

Seniors should consider personal emergency alert systems such as Life Alert. Such devices are worn as necklaces or wristbands, and seniors can con-tact emergency services by simply pressing a button. To get Life Alert, call 1-800-428-8927.

Having an easy way to get help can help seniors feel more confident aging in place.

Most Seniors Prefer To ‘Age In Place’

The other day I was go-ing through my closet, try-ing to rearrange all the box-es of shoes I have stashed

in there meticulously. Seri-ously, I have a ton of them so I have to be clever about it—and I came across a pair I haven’t used in years.

I couldn’t believe I still

had them after all these years. They were still in great condition—since I’ve always liked to take care of my shoes—but it suddenly dawned on me, these shoes would never come back in

The Ugly Truth

style.

I have never been shy about recognizing that many straight men don’t have a clue about style. What looks good to them might be blurred together with what is comfortable, easy to get, and cheap; not that some of the really cool, current styles are not af-fordable, but you do have to spend a little time and ef-fort in finding them.

A white tee, jeans and tennis shoes, although cool and comfortable, are not exactly the correct outfit to wear for every occasion, let alone wearing the same pair of dress shoes for the past ten years.

Quite often, while walk-ing downtown I see many business men all suited up, looking dapper at first glance, that is until I see

the type of shoes they’re wearing-- Short, square toe shoes.

Words can’t describe how I feel when this happens. Short square toe shoes have not been in style since last decade and they sure don’t have a place in this one. They are short, boxy, and they make your feet look like a duck’s beak.

I find it in poor taste for men, who want to look their best, to not pay attention to what they’re putting on their feet. If they are put-ting all the effort in trying to look good, they might as well do it right.

The way I think about shoes is as an investment. Dress the part and do it right. If you want to look like a professional, then dress like a professional, but make sure the shoes

you’re wearing are from this century.

If you want to dress up for an important occasion but don’t know what’s hot right now, then make the ef-fort and do some research. Get on your computer and Google it, or simply grab a magazine like GQ, Details, OUT, or El Observador newspaper and take a look at what is trending and spend a little money getting there.

Don’t just assume that your old high school prom shoes will still look good with everything because chances are that just like your style, they have stayed in 1999.

As for my outdated pair of shoes, let’s just say the Good Will will be happy.

Perez Hilton, blogger de celebridades y aficionado a la música, platica sobre los detalles de cómo cada uno puede sacar el máximo provecho de este verano. A continuación se presentan algunas ideas.

• “Disfruta de los festiva-les y conciertos al aire libre. Echa un vistazo a los sitios web locales de eventos en busca de conciertos gratui-tos en su área. Estos eventos gratuitos son a menudo el mejor lugar para ver, hasta grandes y prometedores ar-tistas y bandas.”

• “Hacer una lista de re-producción con las cancio-nes del verano que dan ga-nas de levantarse y bailar. “Call Me Maybe” por Carly Rae Jepsen y “ Payphone” de Maroon 5 son canciones que sin duda estarán en mi lista de reproducción mucho en estos próximos meses”.

• “Amplifica diversión llevando música a la playa, la piscina, o donde el sol se

puede tomar. Es fácil escu-char tu lista de música este verano con la lata de altavoz de Pringles. Simplemente conecte la especialidad de diseño de altavoces a la par-te superior de la lata vacía de Pringles, y conectarlo a un reproductor personal de MP3 o dispositivo de músi-ca similar. Hace escuchar la música divertida y deliciosa.

• “No hay que esperar para una ocasión especial o unas vacaciones para orga-nizar una guateque. Prenda la parrilla e invita a todos los que conozca a una gran fiesta. Dile a los invitados que traigan su plato favorito

y algo único para mostrar su personalidad.”

• “Tome un viaje por ca-rretera épica a un estado vecino, o en todo Estados Unidos. Los destinos dispo-nibles son infinitos. Busca tesoros escondidos, y asegú-rese de empacar una cáma-ra para tomar fotos de una vez en-la-vida.

• “Hay que aprovecharse de las altas temperaturas y ser activos al aire libre. Me encanta caminar y andar en bicicleta para conseguir las endorfinas. Averigüe que ligas de verano están dispo-nibles en su comunidad y unase con los amigos.”

SE HABLA ESPAÑOL

“The Dark Knight Rises” de Warner Bros. Pictures y Legendary Pictures es la conclusión épica de la trilogía de Dark Knight del realizador Christopher No-lan.

Han pasado ocho años desde que Batman se des-vaneció en la noche, trans-formándose, desde ese in-stante, de héroe en fugitivo. Al asumir la culpa por la

muerte del fiscal del distrito Harvey Dent, el caballero de la noche sacrificó todo para obtener lo que él y el comisionado Gordon pen-saban que era lo mejor. Du-rante un tiempo la mentira funcionó, ya que la activi-dad criminal en Gotham City sucumbió bajo el peso de la Dent Act, la ley para luchar contra el crimen.

Pero ahora todo va a

cambiar con la llegada de una hábil ladrona gatuna con motivaciones miste-riosas. Sin embargo, mucho más peligroso es la llegada de Bane, un terrorista en-mascarado cuyos malva-dos planes para Gotham sacan a Bruce del exilio que se había impuesto. Pero aunque nuevamente vista la capa y el traje, es posible que Batman no esté a la altura de Bane.

CHRISTIAN BALE as Bruce Wayne in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ action thriller “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.”

The Dark Knight Rises

The Farrelly Bros. (There’s Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber) bring back a beloved clas-sic comedy act with THE THREE STOOGES, a con-temporary take on Amer-ica’s favorite trio of bone-heads.

JUST SAY MOESean Hayes (“Will &

Grace”), Chris Diaman-topoulos (“24”) and Will Sasso (“MADTV”) portray the troika of knuckleheads in three hysterical misad-ventures.

Left on the doorstep of

an orphanage run by nuns, newborns Moe (Diaman-topoulos), Larry (Hayes), and Curly (Sasso) grow up finger-poking, nyuk-nyuk-nyuking and woo-wooing their way to uncharted lev-els of knuckleheaded mis-adventure. Now, out to save their childhood home, only The Three Stooges could become embroiled with an oddball murder plot…while stumbling into starring roles in a phenomenally suc-cessful TV reality show.

The Three Stooges is fun for the whole family. With hilarious supporting per-formances from Larry Da-vid (“Seinfeld”), Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Sofia Vergara (“Modern Family”) and Jen-nifer Hudson (Dreamgirls), THE THREE STOOGES “Just Say Moe” edition Blu-ray is loaded with special features.

(Left to right) Will Sasso, Sean Hayes, and Chris Diamantopoulos portray the Three Stooges.

Persecuciones auto-movilísticas, cuerpos ensangrentados y una dura prisión... todo en un sólo día. Los planes de vacaciones de Mel Gibson se van al diablo, en la cruda, explosiva y llena de acción GET THE GRINGO. Gibson encarna a Driver, un criminal norteamerica-no que estrella violen-tamente su auto contra la pared de la frontera y la atraviesa, para tratar de escapar de lapatrulla fronteriza, concluyendo su fuga del lado mexi-

cano. Habiendo sobre-vivido al accidente solo para dar con sus hue-sos en una dura prisión mexicana, Driver entra en el extraño y peligroso mundo de “El Pueblito”. En esta despiadada co-lonia penal, tendrá que hacer lo que sea para so-brevivir, aún si para lo-grarlo tiene que recurrir a la inesperada ayuda de un niño de 10 años que le enseñará como fun-cionan allí las cosas.

Con una asombrosa intepretación que nos recuerda su tempra-

na carrera en el cine de acción y aventuras, el talento de Gibson solo es superado por sus con-tribuciones a GET THE GRINGO como produc-tor y co-guionista del film. Gibson se asoció con Adrian Grunberg, su primer asistente de dirección en APO-CALYPTO quien co-escribió y debutó como director en esta explo-siva película de acción. La pelicula fue filmada en México. la Los co-productores son Bruce Davey y Stacy Perskie.

Para acercarse a la buena suerte es necesario tener optimismo, deseos de su-peración, entusiasmo, ideas positivas, buena voluntad y motivación. La persona a quien la suerte le sonríe es amigable, respetuosa, jovial, no le teme a las situaciones novedosas ni a los nuevos contactos, tampoco se deja vencer por condiciones ad-versas. No se debe tener te-mor al cambio, cuando las situaciones varían hay que variar también, ajustarse a las circunstancias y seguir adelante en busca de nuevas y mejores oportunidades.

Acérquese a la buena suerteNo debemos lamentarnos por lo que ya pasó, por lo que hicimos mal o por lo que dejamos de hacer, mucho menos perder energía en la tristeza o sucumbir ante la depresión.

Para atraer la buena suerte es indispensable de-jar a un lado la inseguridad, la angustia, la timidez y “el qué dirán”. Una persona progresista siempre está dispuesta y lista para asimi-lar nuevas experiencias, aprende de todo, trabaja con entusiasmo, lee libros, se supera, se informa y trata de estar al tanto de todo lo que sucede a su alrededor y saca provecho de los acon-tecimientos que le rodean. Y como tiene una conver-sación agradable e intere-sante, no le faltan amigos, conocidos y personas que deseen conocerle.

Básicamente la persona de suerte se aleja de la ap-atía, evita el mal carácter, huye de la rutina y se aparta de la inconstancia. Man-

tiene la mente cargada de buenos propósitos, le dedica unos minutos diarios a la oración, decreta paz, abun-dancia, buena salud e in-venta nuevos senderos para salir adelante y ser feliz. Y cuando ha de tomar una de-cisión importante, la toma sin vacilaciones.

La familia, los amigos y los conocidos, representan una fuente para acercar-nos a la buena suerte. Para lograrlo debemos ser gener-osos. La generosidad repre-senta el máximo caudal de buena suerte que se cultiva en la mente y el corazón de los demás.

También debemos cuidar la apariencia personal. Una persona que luce bien y que presta atención a su salud y a su presentación, crea un campo magnético positivo que le conduce por el cami-no del éxito y la buena for-tuna. Y lo principal de todo, creer en el infinito poder de Dios y hacer el bien sin mi-rar a quién.

Parques nacionales fueron creados para proteger y resaltar dichos tesoros.

Los tesoros de un país no siempre se miden en lin-gotes de oro. A veces, sus riquezas se pueden medir mejor en la longitud de sus ríos, la grandiosidad de sus montañas y en sus invalua-bles lugares históricos.

Con alrededor de 400 ubicaciones, prácticamente todas las personas que viven en los Estados Unidos tie-nen acceso rápido a uno.

La mejor manera de en-contrar el parque más cer-cano es teclear un código postal en el portal del Ser-vicio de Parques Nacionales (en inglés). Para ayudar en la búsqueda, a continuación esta una lista de parques en diferentes puntos del país.

Glacier National Park

Ubicado en la parte no-roeste del estado de Mon-tana, Glacier National Park atrae a unas 2 millones de personas al año. Los visi-tantes pueden explorar 700 millas de senderos, hacer un tour guiado a caballo o armar su carpa en una de las 13 áreas de campamen-

Hay casi 400 parques por todo el país que ofrecen actividades

durante todo el año

to. Una de las atracciones principales es la carretera Going-to-the-Sun Road, un paseo que ofrece, desde las orillas de las montañas, vistas espectaculares de la región.

Sequoia National Park

Sequoia National Park, localizado en la parte cen-tral de California, es conoci-do como la Tierra de Gigan-tes debido al tamaño de sus montañas, la profundidad de sus cañones y por alber-gar los árboles más grandes del mundo. Las actividades varían según la temporada del año, pero el tiempo ge-neralmente se presta para acampar, hacer caminatas, pasear a caballo y escalar rocas. Durante el invierno se puede esquiar y partici-par en otras actividades in-vernales.

Acadia National Park

En el rincón más al no-reste del país, en el estado de Maine, está Acadia Na-tional Park. Este parque cuenta con un ecosistema dinámico que incluye mon-

tañas, costas, zonas bosco-sas y lagos. Los visitantes pueden disfrutar un paseo en bicicleta por los antiguos caminos de carruajes. Tam-bién cuenta con unas 125 millas de senderos históri-cos que se pueden explorar a pie. Las actividades más populares son paseos en bi-cicleta, barco y caballo, así como la pesca y escalada en roca.

Great Smoky Mountains

Se podría decir que el Gran Cañón es el parque nacional estadounidense más famoso. Pero no es el más concurrido. Ese ho-nor lo tiene el parque Great Smoky Mountains, que re-cibe a casi 10 millones de visitantes al año. Este par-que, ubicado en la frontera de Carolina del Norte con Tennessee, tiene un poco de todo: vistas panorámicas, cascadas, paseos a caballo o bicicleta así como muchas áreas para acampar.

Arches National Park

Arches National Park es famoso por sus más de 2,000 arcos naturales de arenisca y por la gran varie-dad de formaciones rocosas que se han formado a lo lar-go de millones de años. El parque, ubicado en Utah, atrae a muchos aficionados de la fotografía, y también a quienes les gusta explorar las formaciones rocosas de la región en bicicleta.

Badlands National Park

Badlands National Park es un parque en Dakota del Sur de unos 250,000 acres que cuenta con depósitos geológicos ricos en fósiles. Aunque los fósiles son el gran atractivo para muchos, otros van al parque con la esperanza de observar a los animales salvajes que viven ahí, como los bisontes, ve-nados y borregos cimarro-nes. Pero no todos los atrac-tivos están en la superficie. Las noches oscuras de esta región se prestan a vistas magníficas de las estrellas y galaxias, por lo que se sugie-re llevar un telescopio.

El sinaloense Julio César Chávez jr. hará campamen-to de altura en Toluca, Es-tado de México, y después entrenará en Los Angeles y Las Vegas, para su combate contra el argentino Sergio Martínez, el 15 de septiem-bre en el Thomas and Mack Center.

El imbatido Chávez Carrasco hará la cuarta ex-posición del campeonato medio del Consejo Mun-dial de Boxeo (CMB) contra “Maravilla” Martínez, en el marco de los festejos de la Independencia de México en Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Estoy entrenando en Toluca y alternaré en la Ciu-dad de México por la lluvia y después de un mes estaré en Los Angeles cuatro sema-nas, para llegar a Las Vegas con la mejor condición de mi carrera”, sostuvo el hijo del legendario Julio César Chávez.

LA para combate contra Martínez

El boxeador mexicano, Julio César Chávez Jr., campeón de peso medio del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo y el argentino Sergio “Maravilla” Martínez, durante la presentación de su enfrentamiento que se realizará en Las Vegas el próximo 15 de septiembre.

El monarca mundial acudió este martes con Martínez al cierre de la gira promocional, en la última reunión con los medios es-pecializados para que am-bos se concentren en sus respectivos entrenamientos para la función internacio-nal.

“Este domingo llegará a Toluca el entrenador Fred-die Roach para meternos de lleno en la preparación, además del resto del equipo de trabajo porque me pre-pararé mejor que nunca para este desafío”, afirmó el sinaloense.

Chávez Carrasco afirmó

que trabajará especialmente su defensa, “Martínez tiene un estilo complicado, baja mucho las manos y desde Kelly Pavlik él no se ha en-frentado a rivales como yo”, afirmó.

El “ junior” empezará la semana próxima las sesio-nes de boxeo con siete spar-rings diferentes y tendrá más cuidado con el peso en relación con peleas previas.

Acerca del rival, men-cionó que “a Sergio Mar-tínez lo respeto como peleador, quiere el cinturón, no tengo amistad con él, me cae gordo y no puedo hacer amistad con alguien que

quiere quitarme el título”.

El entrevistado destacó que está en el mejor mo-mento de su vida, “maduré como peleador y como per-sona y esta pelea para mí es la consagración. Martínez es considerado el mejor en peso medio y es muy impor-tante para mi carrera, el 15 de septiembre daré todo mi esfuerzo”.

“Julito” se mostró conten-to porque José Sulaimán, presidente del CMB, “estará conmigo en Las Vegas, es lo mejor para el boxeo estar conmigo”.

Para los taekwondoínes mexicanos, los queretanos Erick Osornio y Jannet Alegría, estar sembrados en la gráfica principal tiene sus ventajas, pero eso no repre-senta que se pueda aspirar a una medalla en el torneo de este deporte en los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012.

Previo a su salida a In-glaterra, Osornio, quien competirá en la división

menor a los 68 kilos, co-mentó que estar sembrado tiene sus ventajas porque de esta manera se conocen a los rivales y se tiene tiempo de estudiarlos, “así se podrá contar con elementos para saber de donde están dé-biles”, apuntó.

El queretano, de 29 años de edad, expuso que sus compañeros Jannet Alegría y la actual monarca olím-pica, María del Rosario Espinoza, salieron en las llaves que se utilizarán en

los Juegos Olímpicos, por lo que “creo que ya tienen cierta ventaja, pero aún se debe considerar a los demás rivales que en ocasiones son los más fuertes torneo”.

Sobre la misma idea se expresó Alegría Peña, de 25 años de edad, quien destacó la necesidad de estar bien preparados para enfrentar a cualquier rival en la justa donde todos van por el mis-mo objetivo.

“Sí hay ventajas, porque

en lo personal ya conozco a la mayor parte de las rivales y eso me permite hacer un trabajo de acuerdo a cada una de ellas”, afirmó.

La víspera se dio a con-ocer la gráfica de las divisio-nes olímpicas en taekwondo y tanto María del Rosario Espinoza (más 67kg) como Jannet Alegría fueron colo-cadas en una de ellas, no así Erick Osornio y Diego Gar-cía, quienes al no estar entre los ocho mejores deberán esperar el sorteo final.

Consumer Action and AT&T offer these tips on how you can use your mobile phone to prepare for and re-spond to emergencies:

1. Be Prepared: Use apps, such as FEMA’s emergency preparedness app to develop and implement emergency preparedness plans for your family, colleagues and loved ones.

2. Stay Charged: Use solar-powered and hand crank chargers and batter-ies. These chargers allow you to rely on your electron-ics and wireless devices even in a power outage.

3. Stay Connected: Use database and location-based apps to find loved ones dur-ing and after a disaster. Register yourself with the American Red Cross “Safe and Well”; database and search for other loved ones that have registered to say they are okay. You can also use AT&T FamilyMap, which provides peace of mind by enabling you to conveniently locate a family member from your wireless phone or PC and know that your family’s information is secure and private.

4. Keep It in the Cloud: Store your important docu-ments, such as personal and financial records, in a pass-word-protected area in the Cloud. New cloud services allow you to access your vital information anytime from anywhere with Inter-net access and to safely store your work where it’s not vulnerable to a damaged or left-behind computer.

5. Get Help!: Consider downloading a smartphone global positioning satellite app. GPS phone trackers have the ability to deliver short messages and your GPS pinpoint location to a preferred list of contacts of your choosing in the event of an emergency.

6. Use Quick Response (QR) Codes: QR code

11 Great Ways Your Smartphone Can Work Smarter in an Emergency

technology can help first responders prevent misdi-agnoses and adverse drug reactions in treatment of emergency victims.

7. See & Be Seen / Send an SOS: Use your smart-phone as a flashlight when the power is down. There are flashlight apps for almost all smartphones (many of them are free) that use either your screen or camera flash to help you find what you need during a power outage - or help you to be found. Many flashlight apps even offer a

Morse code SOS feature.

8. Help Others: Apps such as Phone Aid; offer a series of quick educational and instructive “how to” slideshows designed to help jog your memory on skills such as administering CPR. It also shows basic first aid measures you may need to perform while you wait for emergency personnel to re-spond.

9. Locate Resources: Use mobile maps to find help and resources after a disas-

ter. American Red Cross: Shelter View provides a searchable map of shelter locations by address, city, state and/or ZIP code and is updated every 30 minutes from the National Shelter System. It even includes the shelter capacity and how many residents are current-ly there.

10. Stay Informed: Cre-ate a list of Twitter handles to follow during a disaster. For example, the U.S. Geo-logical Survey is currently studying how they can give

better earthquake informa-tion via Twitter. Their of-ficial handle, @USGSted, tweets out information on occurrences of earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.5 or higher. They currently have a California-specific earth-quake handle-@USGS_EQ_CA.

11. Spread the Word: Use social media and

smartphone apps to help disseminate information about severe weather in real time and warn oth-ers. The NOAA Now app provides weather info from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion, including reports of hurricanes, tropical storms, mainland storms and tor-nado and severe thunder-storm alerts.
