25th Anniversary of MLK Day By Cinthia Rodriguez – El Observador

MLK recognizes the birth of Mar-tin Luther King, Jr., and hasevolved into a day of service

where Americans work together to provide so-lutions to national problems.

It is observed on the third Monday of Jan-uary, around the time of King’s birthday, Janu-ary 15.

Before his 27th birthday, King received hisPh. D. in Systematic Theology from BostonUniversity, started a family with wife CorettaScott, and became the leader of a bus boycott.Dedicated to his dream, the protest continueduntil the buses became desegregated.

As said by Gunnar Jahn, Chairman of theNobel Committee of the time, King was thefirst person in the Western world to have shownus that a struggle can be waged without vio-lence and to make the message of brotherlylove a reality in the course of his struggle.

King received the Nobel Peace Prize in1964 and was assassinated in 1968. He didn’twitness a country that only existed in hisdreams. That same year the Civil Rights Act of1968 ended discrimination in housing andschool segregation ended, giving African Amer-icans greater pride in their racial identity.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of thenational holiday, which continues to honorKing’s legacy and commitment to transformour nation through service to others.

The Day Worker Center of Mountain Viewinvites members of the communities of Moun-tain View, Los Altos and surrounding areas tojoin in their efforts to pick up litter from thestreets. For those interested, they will meet atthe Day Worker Center.

Bullets Modify Debates

Last Saturday, January 8, 2011that tragic event in Tucson, Ari-zona brought up many issues

which demonstrate how open the Americansociety is. Jared Lee Loughner, age 22, hada history of becoming more mentally de-ranged over time. Friends and college au-thorities had known about his mental illness,however, Jared was still able to go to a gunshop to purchase a handgun, extended clipsand bullets. So will the people insist on amodified “right to bear arms” which effec-tively regulates the purchase of high per-formance weaponry? Had Jared been limitedby law to a six-gun as in the old Wild West,fewer individuals would have been slain orinjured. The National Rifle Association andthe gun-control advocates are already pre-senting their respective case. Jared’s bulletshave modified several debates.

The challenges of dealing with mentalillness are now very much exposed. It is partof the recent health care legislation whichthe Republicans want to eliminate. Theirgoal is to deny President Obama with the po-litical performance base which favors hissecond term re-election in November 2012.

This tragedy in Tucson caused the newSpeaker of the House to delay the debate onhealth care one week. This delay providesthe people of America an opportunity to ex-press their concerns about the scheduledcomprehensive health care debate in theHouse of Representatives. Constituents havetime to communicate their concerns. Thismeans that it may be possible to mitigate theplanned Republican Party goal to totally re-ject the first health care legislation passed byCongress since the 1930’s.

The American health care system is verycomplex because of several powerful specialinterests. One is the prescribed drug industrywhich received favored treatment during theGeorge W. Bush administration and theObama administration. In addition, the de-bate on ‘End of Life Planning” must be heldbecause an estimated 45% of medical careexpenses occur during the death and dyingprocess that so many of us do not want toprepare for at all. Rational use of heath careresources requires “end of life’ planning ifbudgets are to be used for needed medicalcare which extend life. All must keep inmind that despite all the technology and ex-pertise which medical service providers pos-

sess today, the death rate of human beingswill remain at 100%. The human corpus hasa finite life cycle. Let’s not confuse the eter-nal life of the human spirit with the limitedlife cycle of the human body.

The security of America, its civil ser-vants and its elected officials will now be ex-amined again in the light of this event.Where is the balance of ‘security processes’and ‘freedom’ from constrictive regulationswhich are used to make American society‘more secure and less free’? Already our so-ciety contains 13 million undocumented res-idents who can live amongst us because eachhas the American constitutional right to in-voke the Fifth Amendment which providesthe right to remain silent and not make self-incriminating disclosures. Note that JaredLee Loughner invoked his Fifth Amendmentrights when questioned by authorities. Doesthis American terrorist possess a rationalhuman mind? How many more exist in thisnation? Will profiles be used to locate andidentify them?

This tragedy has provided PresidentObama with opportunities to speak to the na-tion about “changes that you can believe in”.Soon, the President will give the annual“State of the Union” speech. Bigotry, preju-dice and the existing system of double stan-dards is being exposed daily during thetenure of this ‘first African-American’ Pres-ident. He has been subjected to questioning,insults and prejudicial commentary. Amer-ica has very long election campaigns duringwhich the political rhetoric is too often lacedwith threats and inflammatory statements.There is a need to require the use of civil lan-guage which does not project violence as ameans of solving our immediate challenges.There is no doubt that Barack Obama is theleader that America needs today at this timeof transition from a predominantly ‘White isright” leadership to a more inclusive diverseethnic leadership. Definitely, major social,economic, and public policy changes arehappening and being observed by the wholeworld. Like it or not, applying those ethical,moral and religious ideals which create lov-ing and caring human relationship will benecessary. Those bullets have modified ournational debate about important priorities ofthe American people.Δ

On January 20, 2010, trustees of the San JoseUnified School District are to vote on a pro-posal from the new superintendent, Dr. Vin-

cent Matthews, to retain funds formerly required by lawto be passed through to the Metropolitan Adult EducationProgram, or MAEP. The pass-through of funds has beenthe heart and soul of adult education in San Jose fordecades. However, the pass-through funding mandate wassuspended by the State of California in these hard eco-nomic times therefore allowing school districts the legalopportunity of retaining funds, called “flexing”, for theirK-12 programs. Will this Board of Education follow ourLegislature’s habit of lifting monies for one program whilesinking the other? It is certainly legal, but is it FAIR ANDETHICAL?

We all know that adult education is the safety net forthe many who seek to better themselves. These are themany who did not complete high school, the many whochose street activities realizing in their 20s that they hadno career-technical skills to find a self or family-support-ing job, the many who enriched our community as theyarrived with their cultures and language but needed Eng-lish to have a share of the economic pie, and the many whobelieved in life-long learning (fee classes) even at the ageof 70.

I am a teacher with MAEP in the fourth year of teach-ing GED to adults. What will my single, mother or fatherstudent do if San Jose Unified keeps 67% of MAEP’sAdult Ed funding under the drastic proposal before theBoard of Education. With renewed and adjusted attitudesand motivations to succeed in school, where will my CalWorks students prepare for the GED? They need thecoaching of a live teacher to learn thinking and analyticalskills weakly developed in past schooling and now forgot-ten or very rusty. Upon passing ESL and Basic Skills, howwill my English learners enter the American job marketwithout a GED? Where will at-risk adults go to gain oc-cupational skills for entry into the secretarial or medicaloffice fields? How will any student without high schoolor GED meet state licensure requirements to become anurse or beautician?

The SJUSD proposal to keep $3.5 million of $5.2 mil-lion adult education funding is mainly designated to buy-back furlough days and to start a new program for 60middle schoolers at-risk of dropping out. I have heard sta-tistics that the $1.7 million left for adult education will re-sult in 84% class cancellations to result in 70% reductionin students served or about 5,000.

Is this proposal the responsibility we expect from theBoard of Education in these difficult times? Is this pro-posal to rob Peter to pay Paul FAIR AND ETHICAL whenthe plan is to reinstate up to five furlough days in SJUSDcausing 100% closure of two MAEP campuses? Is it eth-ical to increase by only a few days the SJUSD K-12 schoolyear while causing the doors to two adult education cam-puses to close 100 percent? Is it ethical to start up a newprogram for a select group of middle schoolers withmoney intended by the legislature, the taxpayer and voterover past decades to fund Adult Education? Over manyyears SJUSD has tried to retain this difficult populationand evidently not succeeded.

I urge El Observador readers to contact the Boardmembers of San Jose Unified School District, especiallyin districts closest to their homes, and demand that MAEPis fully funded. Their son or daughter, aunt, husband, wifehave the right to attend any Adult Education program inany location in the Valley. They are not limited by homeaddress.

20 at 6:00 p.m. to express their opinion. (arrive early tohave seating inside the Board room)

The Board’s decision must not pit K-12 educationagainst adult education. For 127 years, adult education hasbeen part of San Jose Unified. In the late 60’s San JoseUnified then passed the administration of its adult educa-tion programs to MetroED (MAEP). We must continue towork together to educate children and their parents. Yes,all parents wish the school days to be restored. Evengrandparents wish this. Even my GED young parents wishthis as they know the personal loss of not being in school.

The January 20 decision by the Board of Educationmust continue to serve the greater community’s disadvan-taged, at-risk, and upward bound former K-12 studentswho today do not have the education needed in changingtimes and tough economic conditions. Readers can urgeboard members to make their decision with the integritythat San Jose Unified boards have always shown for thepublic’s welfare. Urge each board member to fund MAEPFAIRLY AND ETHICALLY.

Thank-you for bringing this to the attention of yourreaders.

Santa Clara County’s WorksProgram successfullywrapped up their subsi-

dized employment program in Sep-tember 2010. The county was quick tolaunch another program that will runfrom October 2010 to June 2011, buton a smaller scale. They work in con-junction with De Anza College Occu-pational Training Institute to provide a

resource for low-income families andlocal businesses.

“We would love for employers totake advantage of the program becauseit’s helping the clients who need to goback into the labor market,” said MaiDam, Program Coordinator, Transi-tional subsidized Employment Pro-gram, Foothill -De Anza CommunityCollege District.

Currently there are roughly 6,000individuals participating in the Cal-WORKs Employment Services Pro-

gram, providing participants with rele-vant job skills, a plan for success, andthe tools to prepare them for employ-ment opportunities. The subsidizedemployment program is one of thechoices available to the participants,who have at least six months left inCalWORKs, have a high schooldiploma, work experience, and are ableand willing to work.

Once a participant is referred, theyare prescreened and matched per jobopening. Most of the jobs are entry-level positions at small businesses, in-surance companies, restaurants, andmany others that participate in the pro-gram.

Businesses who are hiring wouldbenefit from the program by receivingsalary reimbursement for hired candi-dates wages for three months. After, theemployer takes over, the economy isstimulated by providing revenue to lowincome families who spend it on basicneeds.

Dam explained the benefits forboth the participants and the employer.An employer might not have themoney to immediately hire workforcemembers but can find the confidencethey need with the subsidized months.Ultimately, the project’s goal is to help100 participants transition to employ-ment.

Tucson, (Notimex).-El presidente Ba-rack Obama dijo al

encabezar la ceremonia en me-moria de las víctimas del tiro-teo en Tucson ocurrido elpasado , que las fuerzas que di-viden a los estadounidenses noson tan vigorosas como aque-llas que los unen.

Obama llamó a la unidadnacional “en un momento enque nuestro discurso se havuelto tan fuertemente polari-zado y en el que estamos de-masiado ansiosos por echar laculpa de todas las afliccionesdel mundo a los pies de quie-nes piensan diferente”.

Más de 26 mil personasacudieron la tarde de este miér-coles al homenaje realizado enel auditorio McKale, en elcampus de la Universidad deArizona.

El auditorio universitariocon capacidad para 14 mil per-sonas fue insuficiente, por loque los organizadores habilita-ron también un estadio adjuntodonde otras 12 mil siguieron elevento a través de gigantescosmonitores de televisión.

“No hay nada que puedayo decir para llenar el súbito

hoyo que rasgó sus corazones“, dijo Obama, al dirigirse a losfamiliares de las víctimas,entre las que se encontraba elastronauta Mark Kelly, esposode Giffords.

Los seis muertos incluyena un juez federal, una niña denueve años, un matrimonio dejubilados, un colaborador deGiffords y otro hombre reti-rado.

Antes de la ceremoniaObama y su esposa, la primeradama Michelle Obama, habíanacudido al Centro Médico Uni-versitario de Tucson para visi-tar a varios de los lesionadosincluyendo a Giffords, quienlucha por su vida tras recibirun balazo en la cabeza.

Obama afirmó que Gif-fords, su personal y sus electo-res fueron atacados cuandoejercían su derecho de reuniónpacífica y de libertad de expre-sión.

En el evento, que iniciócon una bendición tradicionalde la etnia Pascua Pueblo, for-mada por descendientes delpueblo Yaqui, hablaron tam-bién la secretaria de SeguridadNacional, Janet Napolitano, elprocurador federal Erick Hol-

der y la gobernadora de Ari-zona, Jan Brewer.

El méxico-americano Da-niel Hernández, voluntario enla oficina de la legisladora Gif-fords, considerado un héroepor su oportuna intervenciónque evitó que el atacante con-tinuara disparando, recibió unaamplia ovación de los miles deasistentes al acto.

Hernández rechazó ser unhéroe y dijo que los verdaderoshéroes son aquellos servidorespúblicos que trabajan para ser-vir a los demás.

As economic uncertaintycontinues, more momsare feeling the pressure

to contribute more financially to thehousehold. Yet many don’t feel pre-pared to do so, according to a newsurvey by American InterContinen-tal University.

The survey of approximately1,800 working and stay-at-homemoms found that 90 percent feel thepressure pinch, with 65 percent de-siring career advancement or con-sidering a return to work. At thesame time, more than 70 percent saythey are not satisfied with their cur-rent education or skill set.

Jen Ziegenmier, vice presidentof student management at AIU anda working mom, says now morethan ever, it’s important to providemoms with flexible options to fur-ther their education and skills. “Iknow many moms like me desire aneducation that will cater to their hec-tic schedules. Online education hasdone a good job of meeting theseneeds, helping moms obtain theireducation when it would otherwisebe extremely difficult.”

In fact, 39 percent of all momssurveyed says they would prefer to

pursue their education online. Andfor stay-at-home moms surveyed, anonline study option was the unani-mous choice.

For moms looking to go back toschool online, Ziegenmier sharesthese tips for a smooth transition:

1. Establish short- and long-term goals: Whether it’s the goal ofcompleting your coursework by theend of the week or setting a time-frame for earning your degree, adultstudents need to set realistic goalsfor themselves. With predeterminedgoals, you’ll be less inclined tothrow in the towel when you face ahectic day.

2. Participate fully and regu-larly: Online courses may be con-venient, but that doesn’t meanthey’re a shortcut to education. Usethe online tools available to you -chats, an online library, etc. - to getthe most from your online course-work.

3. Determine your learningstyle: As a busy student and mom,it’s important to understand howyou learn the best. Fortunately, on-line courses are evolving to meet in-dividual learning needs. AIU, forexample, offers a dynamic learningtool called M.U.S.E. - My Unique

Student Experience - which enablesstudents to choose the mode oflearning that is best for them, fromvideo to interactive tutorials to dig-ital activities.

4. Expect the unexpected: It’sinevitable. Your computer crashesthe night your final paper is due.Your daughter comes down with theflu the day before a homework as-signment is due. Life as an onlinestudent requires setting reasonabledeadlines for yourself so that you’renot scrambling and creating extraanxiety.

5. Communicate with your uni-versity - and network with other stu-dents: Being an online studentdoesn’t mean you won’t have a sup-port system. Reach out to instructorsor deans when you have questionsor concerns just as you would in alive classroom. And some schoolsoffer a virtual campus, which pro-vides areas for students to connectand find other students with similarinterests - from online clubs to aFacebook-like internal social net-work.

On Monday,January 10,on the heels

of several consecutiveyears of budget deficits,Governor Jerry Brown an-nounced his plan to ad-dress a devastating $25.4billion gap for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. At Mon-day’s press conference,Governor Brown articulateda three-pronged approach tobalancing the budget: broadspending reductions or cutstotaling $12.5 billion in rev-enue; a 5-year extension oftemporary taxes and othermeasures to produce $12 bil-lion in revenue; and a monu-mental shift in delivery andfunding of services from Statecontrol to local governmentsin an attempt to bring thebudget into balance. The ex-tension of taxes will need to beapproved by voters in June.

PAINFUL CUTS PRO-POSED

The Governor chose to cutbroadly across key programs tobalance the State budget, propos-ing cuts in critical programs thatserve low-income residents, including immi-grants. Low-income Californians, including immigrants,will face great pain if Brown’s proposal is adopted. The Statewould roll back critical assistance for health care, child care andother social services at a time when economic recovery remains amere aspiration for millions of California’s families.

But amidst these extremely painful challenges, there is onepiece of encouraging news. Unlike in past years, immigrants -who make so many contributions to our state - were not unjustlysingled out. This year’s budget proposal did not specifically targetvital immigrant programs such as the California Food AssistanceProgram CFAP) or the Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants(CAPI). However, proposed reductions in Supplemental SecurityIncome (SSI) grants would reduce CAPI grants as well.

Health and human service cut proposed by Governor Brownwould:

- Increase the financial burden for Medi-Cal recipients by re-quiring mandatory co-pays for visits with physicians, dentists andclinics as well as for emergency room visits and extended hospitalstays. The proposal also decreases provider reimbursements by10% to save $709 million.

- Reduce funding for CalWORKs by reducing the benefit eli-gibility period from 60 to 48 months for eligible adults. Childrenmay still receive “child-only” benefits, but only if parents satisfyfederal work requirements or meet certain other exceptions.

- Reduce funding for SSI through a drop in monthly paymentsto the federal minimum, which would result in $177.4 million insavings during the next fiscal year.

- Institute Co-Payments and increased premiums in theHealthy Families program, which along with the elimination ofvision care, will result in fewer Californians obtaining necessary

h e a l t h care.BUDGET PROCESS FOR 2011In traditional times, the January release of the Governor’s

budget is followed by several months of public debate and privatenegotiations in the hopes of adopting a budget by July, when

the new fiscal year begins. However, the budget proposalreleased today relies heavily on a 5-year temporary

extension of a number of taxes, for which theGovernor is seeking voter approval. There-fore, the Legislature must adopt a budget or

at least a specific framework by mid-March toplace the tax extensions on the June ballot. This

shortened budget process will force legislators toact quickly on Governor Brown’s proposal.

If voters reject these tax extensions, Brown andthe Legislature will need to seek alternative strategies

for filling a $12 billion gap. This could mean even moredrastic cuts to essential programs for low-income children

and families.In the coming months, CIPC will continue monitoring

the state budget process and its impact on immigrant commu-nities. Stay tuned for further updates and action alerts

Governor Brown Proposes Deep Cuts, Tax Extensions And Realignment

eojan14:eo 1/13/11 1:45 PM

Roughly 2 millionAmerican familieswith children move

every year - and their childrenswitch schools - according tothe U.S. Census Bureau. Mostfamilies move over the sum-mer, so their kids can start newschools in the fall. But otherfamilies make the schoolswitch mid-year - the result ofparent job changes or familyeconomic challenges.

With more school optionsavailable than ever, a growingnumber of families who aren’tmoving their homes arenonetheless changing theirchildren’s schools mid-year.Parents who do so are oftenseeking to give their child a“fresh start” for a variety ofreasons: a student who’s bored,or one who’s not getting the in-dividualized attention he needs.Student health or social issuescan also be factors.

Educators say many fami-lies switching their kids’schools mid-year are turning tovirtual schools like Connec-tions Academy, for a variety ofreasons.

First, more families thanever have embraced virtual ed-ucation in general: Some 2 mil-lion American K-12 studentsnow get some or all of their ed-ucation virtually, according toresearch firm Ambient Insight.Second, the format of virtualschools eases a student’s ad-

justment period - and physicaltransitions for both student andfamily. Finally, family financessometimes come into play. Vir-tual public schools - like allpublic schools - are tuition freeand virtual private schools likeNational Connections Acad-emy cost a fraction of tradi-tional “bricks and mortar”private schools. Yet they de-liver the academic rigor andhighly personalized educationsthat are hallmarks of independ-ent schools. So families withchildren enrolled in traditionalprivate schools who are strug-gling to meet hefty tuition ob-ligations often find they cansave significant money and stillget an independent school-cal-iber education.

At most virtual schools,learning takes place at home,with a parent or ‘LearningCoach’ on site, with instructiondirected by certified teachers,with whom student and parentscommunicate frequently byphone and email. Here are fivetips for parents to ensure aseamless transition for theirchild to a virtual school in2011.

* Insist on quality: Not allvirtual schools are createdequal - Many states have vir-tual public schools; checkwww.ConnectionsAcademy.com to see if there’s one in yourstate. Like all public schools,these schools are tuition-free tofamilies. In states where virtual

public schools are not availablethere are many fee-based vir-tual private school options.High-quality virtual schoolsemploy professional and certi-fied teachers. Make sure theschool offers an accredited pro-gram with a wide range ofcourses, and a proven curricu-lum developed by professionaleducators. Talk to parents withstudents currently enrolled inthe school.

* Plan ahead - Think aboutthe best time to make theschool switch. For high school(and some middle school) stu-dents, it’s ideal to finish out thequarter or semester, and thenstart the new period in the newschool. The student gets a freshstart in his new courses, andwill have completed course-work from his semester in hisprevious school. Of course,sometimes life throws you acurve ball - unexpected jobchanges or other sudden familymatters seldom come with ad-vance warning. In that case,parents should reach out to thevirtual school’s guidance andenrollment officials as early asthey can, and work with themto make the school switch assmooth as possible.

* Get your paperwork inorder - It can take a while tocomplete the enrollmentprocess at a virtual school. Par-ents should start sooner ratherthan later gathering the neces-sary paperwork they’ll need to

enroll their child in the new vir-tual school - transcripts, birthcertificates, immunizationrecords and the like. Check, ofcourse, with enrollment offi-cials at the new school to get a

list of required documents, andwhat, if any, admission dead-lines might apply.

* Transfer credits - Manyschools don’t mail home fallsemester or second quarter re-

port cards until well into thespring semester, making ittricky for some parents to showproof of course completion,and to get all the student’scourse credits transferred to thenew school. Parents facing thissituation should check withtheir new school’s enrollmentcounselors to find out whatother alternative paperworkthey can use, and then requestit from the previous school.

* Maintain an open dia-logue - The parents’ role in en-suring a smooth mid-yeartransition doesn’t end whentheir child is enrolled in hisnew virtual public school, hasall his books and academic sup-plies, and has started classes.“The key to a smooth transition- to any school, not just a vir-tual public school - is for par-ents to maintain an opendialogue and communicationswith the school,” says TishaRinker, senior manager ofschool counseling for Connec-tions Academy.

¡Cómo pasa el tiempo! Muchos recordamos laadolescencia, para tantos agridulce y turbulenta, comouna etapa en la que, según definíamos nuestra identi-dad personal, redefinimos con más o menos concien-cia nuestras relaciones con nuestros padres. Quizássentíamos que no nos entendían, y que deseaban con-trolarnos y restringir la libertad y autonomía que an-helábamos. Posiblemente nos distanciamos denuestros padres y familiares, o nos rebelamos contrasus ideas y costumbres.

Ahora de adultos tal vez utilizamos nuestra ju-ventud como referencia al tratar de comprender y deguiar a nuestros adolescentes. Si bien hay diferenciasimportantes entre la transición de la niñez a la adultezsegún la hayamos vivido en nuestras tierras y en nues-tros días de adolescentes, y las condiciones del aquí yahora, ciertos principios son válidos a través de las cul-turas y del pasar del tiempo.

He aquí unas 25 guías para cultivar relaciones po-sitivas entre padres y adolescentes:

1. Aprovechar los momentos cotidianos, talescomo compartir la cena con sus jóvenes, y dedicartiempo a cada uno de sus hijos regularmente

2. Expresarles afecto- mirar a sus jóvenes a losojos y demostrarles cariño con sonrisas, abrazos, ybesos (en privado si así lo prefieren)

3. Demostrarles amor incondicional- rechazar laconducta inapropiada de sus hijos, pero siempre acep-tar quiénes son y cómo son

4. Tratar a sus jóvenes con respeto y con buenosmodales- decirles “por favor,” “ lo siento,” “gracias”

5. Proporcionar sentido de seguridad a sus hijosmediante rutinas, reglas, y expectativas consistentes ypertinentes a su edad

6. Establecer límites y aplicar consecuencias ra-zonables cuando los violan, corrigiendo a sus hijossensitiva y prudentemente

7. Aceptar las fallas y fracasos de sus jóvenescomo partes de la exploración y el aprendizaje- per-mitirles que cometan errores y aprendan de la expe-riencia

8. Asignar responsabilidades a sus hijos, según sumadurez y capacidades- evitar presionarles con ex-pectativas irrealistas basadas en nuestras aspiraciones

9. Ser un buen ejemplo para sus jóvenes al lidiarcon las tensiones cotidianas con calma, conciencia, ypaciencia

10. Servir de modelo para sus hijos al relacionarse

respetuosa y responsablemente con otras personas11. Permitir a sus jóvenes que manifiesten sus

pensamientos y sentimientos, confirmándolos comolegítimos aún cuando no coincidan con los de usted

12. Guiar a sus hijos a comprender sus propiasemociones y a conducir su comportamiento

13. Alentar a sus jóvenes a entender y procesarlas experiencias cotidianas platicando frecuentemente

14. Ayudar a sus hijos a desarrollar destrezas decomunicación- enseñarles a no ser pasivos ni agresi-vos, sino afirmativos: “Me siento x cuando haces y.Quisiera z.”

15. Ofrecer a sus jóvenes dirección y guías, apo-yándoles en sus decisiones aunque difieran de sus re-comendaciones

16. Felicitar a sus hijos por los esfuerzos queponen en sus estudios y otras actividades- apreciar yreconocerles cuando actúan con empeño

17. Enfatizar los talentos de sus jóvenes más quesus debilidades, ¡y no compararlos con otras perso-nas!

18. Animar a sus hijos a competir y a seguir reglasde compañerismo, en lugar de instarlos a ganar o a serel primero a toda costa

19. Observar las interacciones de sus jóvenes conotras personas, y escuchar sus conversaciones no pri-vadas

20. Cuando sus hijos platiquen con usted, oírlosatentamente, con oídos, ojos, cabeza y corazón

21. Hablar a sus jóvenes abiertamente acerca detemas delicados y difíciles (sexo, drogas, pandillas)

22. Contarle a sus hijos honestamente sobre supropia juventud (no hay que decir toda la verdad, perosí sólo la verdad)

23. Involucrarse en la educación de sus jóvenes,alentándoles a esforzarse y a no abandonar los estu-dios

24. Asegurarle a sus hijos que no tienen que en-frentar las situaciones difíciles solos, mostrándoles le-altad y solidaridad

25. Buscar apoyo o ayuda profesional cuando susjóvenes o usted la necesiten- los adultos tampoco te-nemos que enfrentar las situaciones difíciles solos

Gavin Newsom Sworn In as California’s 49th LieutenantGovernor


La Auditora Independiente de la Policía (IPA), Jueza LaDoris H. Cordell y el Cónsul General de México enSan José, David Figueroa Ortega firmaron un memo-

rándum de entendimiento (MOU siglas en inglés) el pasado jueves13 de enero en las oficinas del IPA.

El acuerdo consiste en que un representante de la oficina deIPA acudirá una vez al mes a las oficinas consulares de México afin de informar a sus respectivos compatriotas sobre los serviciosque ofrece el IPA y a responder preguntas y orientarlos sobre lalabor que hace el Departamento de Policía de San José.

Recordemos que una de las grandes preocupaciones que tienela comunidad latina es el trato de los efectivos policiales a los lati-nos.

“No somos perfectos y estamos dispuestos a hacer cambios, yestoy de acuerdo con esta iniciativa entre ambas instituciones, esmuy oportuna. Queremos que nuestra comunidad se acerque anosotros. Tenemos un buen departamento policial”, dijo el Jefe In-terino de la Policía de San José, Chris Moore.

Por su parte la Jueza Cordell dijo ,“Queremos informar a nues-tra comunidad sobre la necesidad de mantener una buena comu-nicación y recursos. Me satisface hacer historia. Esto nació de laOficina de Relaciones Humanas del Condado de Santa Clara du-rante una conversación con Teresa Castellanos y estoy muy con-tenta de haber puesto en marcha esta iniciativa”.

Por su parte el cónsul David Figueroa expresó su conformidadel saber que exista una relación importante entre sus connacionales.“Es la primera vez que el IPA firma este tipo de acuerdo. Esta firmatendrá un efecto positivo y automático. Esto motivará a que elpolicía tenga una mejor conducta”, dijo el cónsul.

Por su parte el Alcalde de la ciudad de San José,Chuck Reedexplica que es “es importante mantener una buena relación entrela policía y la comunidad. Queremos que la comunidad entera estédispuesta en ayudarnos, no se puede tener una ciudad segura enlos Estados Unidos sin un buen departamento de policía, porqueel de nuestra ciudad lo es”.

Este acuerdo entre ambas oficinas se lleva a cabo gracias alacercamiento entre el IPA y el Consulado General de México enSan José. El Cónsul General David Figueroa Ortega ha expresado

en diversas ocasiones su preocupación por la co-munidad mexicana que vive y trabaja en esta ciu-dad que ha mostrado algunas veces temor paradenunciar prácticas desfavorables del Departa-mento de Policía de San José.

La Juez La Doris Cordell ha expresado su sat-isfacción por la colaboración que existe entre elConsulado General de México y la oficina del IPAprincipalmente por este servicio tan importante ynecesario que necesitan todos los habitantes en laCiudad de San Jose, una ciudad multicultural.

La Oficina del Auditor Independiente de laPolicía en la ciudad de San José, se estableció enel año de 1993 para llevar a cabo investigacionesindependientes y vigilar la conducta de la policíade San José y sus acciones con la comunidad.

El Consulado General de México cubre los

Winter is the sea-son for beingcozy, while

spending long days and nightsinside the comfort of our tightly

closed homes. It’s also an infa-mous time for feeling dry andunder-the-weather.

With people spending moretime indoors, air circulation iscompromised, and the level of

contaminants increases. Fleet-ing freshness and moisture takea toll on our skin, throats, nosesand overall health, and can beespecially harmful to those suf-fering from allergies andasthma.

Up to 72 trillion micro-scopic irritants, or allergens,find their way into your homeevery day. They include dust,pollen, pet hair and dander,dust mites, mildew, lint, fun-gus, most tobacco smoke,cooking grease and bacteria.Many of these particles are un-detectable by your nose andthroat, and can get deep intoyour lungs. This year, be proac-tive in creating a safer indoorenvironment for your familyand guests by following thesefew quick fixes.

Filter your way to freshcomfort.

A whole-home air filtrationsystem, like the AccuClean(TM) from American StandardHeating & Air Conditioning,can remove up to 99.98 percentof unwanted particles and aller-gens from a home’s filtered air,a benefit that no standard 1-inch throwaway filter or ionic-type room appliance can match.These systems are designed towork as part of your heatingand cooling system, meaningthey’re designed to clean thefiltered air in every room ofyour home. Air filtration sys-tems work behind the scenes tokeep you breathing easier andfeeling healthier year-round.

Routine maintenance toyour heating, ventilation andair conditioning (HVAC) sys-tem is equally - if not more -

critical to keeping the indoorair quality of your home safeand systems operating at peakefficiency. Changing or clean-ing your filters regularly willminimize the introduction ofdust and other contaminantsinto your home. Check yourowner’s manual or contact anHVAC professional to deter-mine the appropriate filterschedule for your system. Inaddition, an HVAC profes-sional can perform a routinemaintenance checkup to ensureall components of your HVACsystem are operating properly,and advise you on ways to im-prove the safety and comfort ofyour home. To locate an inde-pendent HVAC dealer nearyou, visit www.americanstan-dardair.com.

Why so dry? The chill of outside air has

a relatively low dew point.When we bring that outside airinside and heat it, even moremoisture is sucked from the air,making your body uncomfort-ably dry. The addition of a hu-midifier will restore andbalance the moisture in yourhome’s air, ensuring there’s nottoo much moisture that can har-bor bacteria and germs, not tomention damage to woodworkon window frames and doors.

Extra tips for a happier,healthier, warmer winter:

* Reverse the switch onyour ceiling fans so they blow

upward, toward the ceiling. Bydoing so, you will reduce cool-ing drafts and force naturallyrising heat back down into theroom.

* Add a touch of green.House plants are a small, butnatural source of oxygen, andwill liven up any room.

* On pleasant or mild win-ter days, hang bed sheets out ona clothesline to dry, for a crispand fresh winter-wonderlandsmell that will have you fallingfast to sleep at night. Or evenopen your windows for 15 min-utes to break stale or musty air.

* Keep an odor-eliminatingair freshener around the houseto quickly spray on upholstery,clothes, blinds or carpet beforeguests arrive.

* Turn the heat down inyour shower. Hot water mayfeel amazing on a cold wintermorning, but it contributes tothe dryness of your skin.

Now that you’re ready tobeat the bummer of coldweather, your family can enjoyspending time together. Andbefore you know it, it will betime to pull shorts and swim-suits out of winter storage.(Text and photo by ARAcon-tent)

San Francisco.-Varios estudios indi-can que el glaucoma de ánguloabierto — la forma más común de la

enfermedad — está causando invidencia en lacomunidad hispana de los Estados Unidos. Lacarencia de pruebas regulares y tratamientopuede dar por resultado la pérdida de la visión.

EyeCare America, programa de la funda-ción de servicio público de la Academia Ame-ricana de Oftalmología, tiene la misión depreservar la visión, y la cumple mediante el ser-vicio y la información públicos.

La organización quiere que los hispanos co-nozcan la importancia de someterse a pruebasy tratamiento contra el glaucoma, y exhorta ala comunidad hispana a consultar con un oftal-mólogo profesional en cuanto comience elnuevo año.

“El glaucoma es una de las principales cau-sas de invidencia en los hispanos”, expresa elDr. René Rodríguez-Sains, MD. “EyeCareAmerica exhorta a la comunidad hispana a co-nocer sus factores de riesgo con respecto a esaenfermedad”.

Comprender el glaucoma En un ojo sano, se produce continuamente

un líquido transparente tras el iris, que sale delojo por un canal microscópico de drenaje en laparte frontal del mismo. Si el canal se bloquea,la presión dentro del ojo aumenta y, a menudo,causa daño por glaucoma al nervio óptico, queconecta al ojo con el cerebro, por lo que el per-juicio al mismo puede provocar la pérdida de lavisión. ?

¿Quiénes corren riesgos de glaucoma?Aunque no se conocen totalmente las causas delglaucoma, sus factores de riesgo incluyen his-toria de esa enfermedad en la familia, así comola raza y la edad. El glaucoma afecta a personasde todas las edades, desde recién nacidos a an-cianos, pero es más común en estos últimos.

Los afroamericanos, hispanos y diabéticos tam-bién corren más riesgos de contraerla.

¿Cuáles son los síntomas y cómo se diag-nostica?

En la mayoría de los casos de glaucoma noexiste sintomatología detectable. Los pacientespueden sufrir visión borrosa y ver halos alrede-dor de las fuentes de luz, especialmente en lamañana.

En los casos de glaucoma de cierre agudodel ángulo, la persona puede experimentar do-lores oculares intensos y náuseas.

El oftalmólogo puede diagnosticar losdaños al nervio óptico y la pérdida de campovisual, usando diversas pruebas para determinarla presión intraocular, como la oftalmoscopia,donde el médico observa directamente por lapupila del ojo para ver el nervio óptico.

EyeCare America invita a las personas ma-yores de 65 años a aprovechar este programanacional.

Este servicio que funciona durante todo elaño ofrece pruebas oftalmológicas sin costo al-guno a personas elegibles, así como materialesinformativos gratuitos. Un grupo de aproxima-damente 7,000 oftalmólogos voluntarios realizapruebas en los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico.Las personas interesadas en el programa pue-den visitar www.eyecareamerica.org para de-terminar su elegibilidad.

Además, EyeCare America ofrece DVDsgratuitos a las personas interesadas. Glaucoma:A Guide for Latinos, con el campeón de boxeoOscar De La Hoya, es un video educacional de30 minutos con el propósito de concientizar alos hispanos acerca del glaucoma.

Las personas interesadas en este material,pueden llamar al número telefónico 1-877-887-6327. Hay material disponible mientras durenlas existencias. (Textos y fotos de /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE)

Gracias a una gran actuación del portugués Cristiano Ronaldo, quien se despachó contres goles, el Real Madrid solventó una dura prueba y venció 4-2 al Villarreal, en unextraordinario juego de la jornada 18 de la Liga de España. (Texto y foto de notimex)

Reaparece el buen fútbol de Ronaldo

México.- El futbolista mexicano noha entendido del todo lo que esser profesional, tanto dentro

como fuera de la cancha, señaló el técnico Ma-nuel Lapuente, quien afirmó que es un aspectoque le ha impedido crecer al balompié nacio-nal.

El estratega del América mencionó que untécnico depende de sus jugadores, quienes enMéxico no tienen la disciplina necesaria.

“Lo que hace a un técnico son los jugado-res, el jugador todavía sufre con su profesiona-lismo en México, no lo tiene bien arraigado, nosabe lo que es, todavía hay que luchar con el ju-

gador con su comportamiento dentro y fuera dela cancha, entonces es lo que no ha permitidoevolucionar”, indicó.

Lapuente explicó que su negativa a dirigiren Europa tras la Copa del Mundo Francia1998, pese a tener algunas ofertas, se debió aque él quería un equipo protagonista y no unocon el que luchara por el no descenso.

“Si me hubieran contratado para que elequipo tuviera posibilidades de llegar a laChampions,sí (habría aceptado una propuesta),pero no me iba ir a Europa a luchar por el des-censo”, concluyó. (Texto y foto de Notimex) Δ
