EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com 3JUNE 20-26, 2014 OPINION

An outcome of increased medical knowledge and its applied technology is that many individuals continue to live well beyond 65 years. During 1900, the median age at time of death was 49 years. Today, 35% of the American male population is already 72 years old and women even live a bit longer.

So it behooves any adult who still has living elderly parents to do some planning about the care that may be needed when that elderly parent or relative becomes ill or incapacitated. This topic needs to be addressed responsibly because many adults did not save enough to have an adequate retirement plan, and only 16% invested in a long-term care insurance policy. With today’s implementation of the Affordable Care Act, some support may become available to your family if you know how to plan for the qualifi cations needed. This is the ‘family’ side of the ‘long term care’ challenges that an individual will face. Unfortunately, too many do not think about this inevitable need in time to implement an effective program.

There is another public policy matter already upon us. Think of the continuum of care that an individual may need eventually.

Offi cials at the Department of Health, State of California, are increasingly having to cope with unlicensed ‘board and care residences’. Several ‘extended care’ residences exist. Only those whose bed capacity exceeds 6 beds are required to be licensed. An expert in this fi eld recently informed the Mental Health Board that an estimated 15,000 unlicensed ‘Board and Care Residences’ exist in California. The number of them that exist in the County of Santa Clara is not known. The State and County Health Departments do not have the resources (budget and staff) to assess the existing B&CR entities in operation today. This is the case for individuals who need some assistance in taking their medications, performing their rehabilitation exercises and/or having access to healthy meals and social activities. Also, there is the need for appropriate levels of care. ‘Oversight and monitoring’ is important in those cases where an individual with mental health issues needs to take his/her medication, which mitigates their specifi c issue.

The issue of ‘Board and Care Residences’ (B&CR) is very important because too often a patient, who is ready for discharge from a hospital, cannot be released because there is

no appropriate care-level empty bed available in a local licensed skilled nursing, extended care, or BC&R facility.

The Mental Health Board, Systems Planning and Fiscal Subcommittee, is proposing to the Board of Supervisors to look into this matter in depth. An objective is to locate and identify both facilities needed, and professional staffi ng required. If adequate capacity can be identifi ed, prepared and made available, then patients ready to be transferred from high per diem cost hospitals to an appropriate level extended care residential facility can be moved expeditiously.

This ‘human care service’ arena is very complex. Trained staffi ng is needed to deliver these labor-intensive medical care services. Fortunately, organizations such as NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness,) the Board & Care Improvement Project of the Mental Health Department, SCVMC, its Mental Health Advocacy Project have produced two documents entitled, ‘Resident’s Rights in Unlicensed Room and Board Homes (Independent Living Homes)’ and ‘Resident’s Rights in Licensed Room and Board Homes (Independent Living)’. Know

that certain B&CR specialize in clients having developmental challenges; Alzheimer’s Syndrome, specifi c physical challenges, and mental health issues. Support services such as ‘Meals on Wheels’, case managers who do home visits, mental health and social services workers can be, and are, made available to assist families with the extended care challenges being faced in the home.

It is very important to not wait until the care of an elderly family member has reached crisis levels that require high cost emergency services. Many health care challenges, both mental and physical, develop over time. One can learn to anticipate, to identify to enable early intervention and prevention, and to know that competent help can be made available. Prompt and effective extended care services take some planning and taking time to schedule. This process will help keep costs of services down; effectiveness up and personal stress levels down.

El día nacional de pruebas de VIH/SIDA es el 27 de ju-nio. No te olvides de ir a ha-certe la prueba. y hablando de eso, vi una película nota-ble, “Un corazón normal.” El teatro estaba repleto y du-rante la película oí a la gente suspirar, reír histéricamente, llorar y aplaudir sin fi n cuan-do se termino.

Esta película es sobre la his-toria de cómo un grupo de

hombres gay se movilizaron con los primeros casos cono-cidos de VIH/SIDA. Mostró cómo lidiaron con la epide-mia, con la muerte de fami-liares y amigos, y cómo hacer a la gente más consciente de lo que estaba pasando.

Fue impresionante ver tan-ta historia especialmente con escenas dramáticas. Algo que me sorprendió fue cuando uno de los personajes prin-cipales pensó que la nueva enfermedad era una forma del gobierno de tratar de eliminar a la población gay. Su personaje está realmente apasionado con lo que cree y hace todo en su poder para hablar sobre lo que esta pa-sando.

Es trágico ver cómo muchas personas se estaban murien-do y no tenían respuestas, ni idea de lo que estaba pasando y poco a poco más y más iban

muriendo. También veras cómo el amor entre dos per-sonas ayuda a enfrentar cual-quier cosa. Hubieron tantos momentos en los que pensé que iba a estallar en lágrimas.

La película está basada en una obra de teatro y me gustó cómo algunos de los personajes tenían unos her-mosos monólogos y expli-caban exactamente cómo se sentían. Muy conmovedora y con mucho talento. Estos actores, algunos de los cuales son gay, realizaron realmente todo lo posible para mostrar varias caras de una historia que hoy en día parece olvi-dada. Esta enfermedad fue tan grave en los años 80, pero ahora, en la actualidad, es como la diabetes o cualquier otra enfermedad.

En la película se ve a un gru-po de hombres que se dan a la tarea de informar a otros

de lo qwue está sucediendo. El problema con el gobierno local y la homofobia están claramente representados. En algunos momentos tam-bién me sentí avergonzada de cómo el país se negaba a ha-cer algo con este enorme pro-blema. Era como si ellos sola-mente lo ignoraban, como si no estuviera sucediendo.

No importa tu orientación sexual, pero yo sugiero que la veas. A veces nos olvidamos que tan fuera de control es-tuvieron las cosas. Este es un buen recordatorio de la lucha constante para lograr ser tra-tados con justicia e igualdad.

Me gustaría tomar este mo-mento para recordarles de ir a hacerse la prueba. Es tan rápido y fácil. Vamos a cele-brar con inteligencia y segu-ridad.

San JoseCALIFORNIA

Regional Medical Center of San Jose is the first SF Bay Area hospital to receive full Atrial Fibrillation Certifica-tion status from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC). The three-year certification is in addition to Regional’s SCPC Chest Pain Certification, Comprehen-sive Stroke Center Certifi-cation and Trauma Center Designation.

“We are pleased to be rec-ognized as the first Bay Area hospital to receive this im-portant certification,” says Mike T. Johnson, President and CEO of Regional. “We remain committed to offer-ing quality heart programs that provide patients with advanced treatment options for atrial fibrillation.”

Atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and has become recognized as a health con-cern that in some cases can lead to stroke and possible death. Nearly 3 million peo-ple in the United States have atrial fibrillation and the numbers are rapidly increas-ing as our population ages.

“A-Fib is caused by a mal-

function in the heart’s elec-trical system, says Theodore Chow, MD, Co- Medical Director for Regional’s Elec-trophysiology Program. “Re-gional offers leading edge treatments and emerging technologies including cath-eter ablation, a procedure to eliminate this type of irregu-lar rhythm.”

“We are excited to work col-laboratively with the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care to improve the care of the hundreds of Atrial Fi-brillation patients that we see each year,” added Sanjay Bindra, MD, Co-Medical Director of Regional’s Elec-trophysiology Program. “Our goal is to provide the best possible care to patients in our community with this complex disease process.”

Regional’s protocol-driven and systematic approach to patient evaluation and man-agement allows physicians to reduce time to treatment and to risk stratify patients to de-crease their length of stay in the emergency department and the hospital. Key areas in which a facility with Atrial Fibrillation Certification must demonstrate expertise include the following:

•Emergency Department Integration

with Emergency Medical Services

•Emergency Assessment of Patients with Atrial Fibrilla-tion

•Risk Stratification of the Atrial Fibrillation Patient

•Treatment for Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department in Atrial Fibril-lation

•Atrial Fibrillation Dis-charge Criteria from the Emergency Department, Observation Services, or In-patient Stay

•Atrial Fibrillation Patient

Education in the Emergency Department, Observation Services, and Inpatient Unit

•Personnel, Competencies and Training

•Process Improvement

•Organizational Structure and Commitment

•Atrial Fibrillation Com-munity Outreach

Regional Medical Center of San Jose is a Level II Trauma Center staffed by in-house specialists 24/7. The hospital provides a host of technolog-ically-advanced services in-cluding Cardiovascular, Neu-ro, Orthopedic and General Surgery, and Interventional Pulmonology, along with multi-organ Cancer Care, and services for Women and Children.

Regional Medical Center of San Jose holds Joint Com-mission advanced certifica-tion as a Comprehensive Stroke Center and a Get with the Guidelines- Stroke Gold Plus Performance Achievement Award from the American Heart Associa-tion/American Stroke Asso-ciation. It is a certified Chest Pain Center, Certified Atrial Fibrillation Program and county-designated STEMI (heart attack) receiving cen-ter. Regional is recognized by the Joint Commission as a 2011, 2012, 2013 Top Performing Hospital on Key Quality Measures™, and is home to the San Jose Insti-tute for Robotic Surgery.

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA

Supervisor Cindy Chavez won unanimous support Monday from her fellow Santa Clara County Supervi-sors to expand an innovative gang violence prevention pro-gram – Trauma to Triumph – which has proven itself na-tionally and in local trials in partnership with the City of San Jose.

The proposal calls for $289,480 for nursing and social work staff at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center who provide intervention counseling services to gang members who are victims of life-threatening injuries from inter-gang violence.

“We’re seeing really great opportunities to serve indi-viduals while they’re in the hospital and, for lack of a bet-

ter term, a captive audience to talk to about gang interven-tion,” Chavez said.

Esther Mota, a member of the Mayor’s Gang Preven-tion Task Force of the City of San Jose, agreed that the pro-gram, which has served 29 clients since September with 17 having completed the six-month course of counseling, is all about timing.

“When somebody comes in and they’ve been assaulted –

been a victim -- it’s about that 24-hour window when they start to think about ‘Am I go-ing to meet my maker or am I not?’ It’s important to get them into the right services.”

The Trauma to Triumph program was added to the proposed County budget on the first day of a week-long se-ries of public hearings sched-uled to conclude Friday with the adoption of a budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

EL OBSERVADOR

“It’s a Student Thing”, co-sponsored by Silicon Valley De-Bug and East Side Union High School District (ES-UHSD) through the support of the Silicon Valley Commu-nity Foundation, gave a place where students could talk about Common Core. This shift in education known as Common Core Standards is a Nation wide transition devel-oped for students to grow in a new academic environment.

The event was a common ground where students, teachers and anyone who is involved in the East Side Union High School District of Silicon Valley can not only talk about Common Core but the roles students play in its implementation. “It’s a Student Thing” had a lot of activities to get students to show how much they under-stood about Common Core and small discussion groups where they not only talked about Common Core but also what they see in their schools that need improvement. It’s a Student Thing also showed what Common Core looked like and what it didn’t look like.

In one activity at “It’s a Stu-dent Thing”, questions were asked like “Do you use elec-tronics, like laptops, in your class regularly?” or “How much do you know about Common Core based upon your teachers?” Students would then walk to a section of the room where there were signs like ‘Poor’ ‘Fair’ ‘Good’ and ‘Excellent’ to describe how much they agreed or dis-agreed with the statement.

This activity really made it obvious to ESUHSD mem-bers and teachers on how much students know about Common Core and it made it obvious on how students felt about their schools.“It’s a Student Thing” also had an activity where people were put into small groups

to discuss Common Core and issues at school that need to be addressed for goals to be achieved.

The cool thing about this ac-tivity is that the small groups didn’t only have students and teachers but also ESUHSD members and included them in these small groups. The small groups became a place where students could talk honestly to their peers, teach-ers and the people that actu-ally decide on what goes on in school. It also gave a place where ESUHSD members could ask both students and

teachers how they feel about certain things that go on in the schools and what they think need improvement. It was an honest, free space where questions were asked and true answers were given.

“It’s a Student Thing” be-came a place where students were able to speak their mind about Common Core as well as what is going on at their schools. It was a place where students expressed how they feel about Common Core and it was also a place where students learned more about their education.

New Driving Licenses Scams targeting the Immigrant Community

The San José Police Department wants to warn the community on scams targeting victims that want to obtain a California driver license for non documented drivers.

Jason AldermanPRACTICAL MONEy

El 1 de junio comienza la temporada de huracanes. Mientras tanto, en gran parte del oeste estadounidense, las grandes sequías han aumen-tado significativamente el peligro de que se produzcan incendios forestales durante el verano. y no nos olvidemos de las tormentas de nieve ré-cord del invierno pasado –ni de la posibilidad permanente de que se produzcan terre-motos, tornados, inundacio-nes y otros desastres natura-les.

Estos eventos catastróficos son inevitables, mayormente imprevisibles y suelen suce-der sin aviso. Si bien no siem-pre podemos predecir los de-sastres naturales, sí podemos prever sus posibles conse-cuencias, que pueden incluir la pérdida de propiedades, la interrupción del servicio de luz o agua y la escasez de ali-mentos y suministros.

Siéntese con su familia y haga un plan para casos de desastres. Planificar con tiempo y saber lo que puede llegar a necesitar en circuns-tancias extremas puede aho-rrarle mucho tiempo, dinero y complicaciones.

La Agencia Federal de Ad-ministración de Emergen-cias (FEMA) (www.fema.gov) ofrece buenas suge-rencias para desarrollar un plan familiar de emergencia, armar un kit de suministros de emergencia y aprender qué hacer antes, durante y después de una emergencia (desde un incendio en su casa hasta un ataque terrorista.) También pueden ofrecer un plan de emergencia para las mascotas de la familia.

Estas son algunas ideas para el plan de emergencia

que talvez no se le hayan ocurrido:

•Seleccione puntos de en-cuentro tanto dentro como fuera de su vecindario, don-de su familia pueda reunirse después de una emergencia.•Elija a una persona (posi-

blemente fuera de su ciudad) a la que todos puedan con-tactar para enterarse de las novedades.•Asegúrese de que sus hi-

jos sepan cómo escapar de la casa en caso de incendio.•Identifique y tenga prepa-

rado los artículos esenciales que necesitará para sobre-vivir durante, por lo menos, tres días en caso de no recibir ayuda. Incluya gran cantidad de agua (al menos un galón por persona por día,) alimen-tos no perecederos y medica-mentos. No se olvide del agua y la comida de sus mascotas.•Tenga preparado un kit

de emergencia con baterías, linterna, un radio a batería o con carga completa, table-tas purificadoras de agua, ropa, mantas, abrelatas, he-rramientas, papel higiénico, toallitas húmedas, bolsas de basura, cargador de celular solar, etc.•Si algún miembro de la

familia recibe un tratamiento de soporte vital (ej. diálisis) identifique lugares de trata-miento alternativos en caso de que el suyo no funcione.•Lleve una foto suya con

sus mascotas en caso de que deban separarse.•Guarde en un lugar se-

guro dinero en efectivo para casos de emergencia por si los cajeros automáticos no funcionan.

En caso de desastre, nece-sitará tener acceso a sus re-gistros financieros y legales. Tome estas medidas ahora para asegurarse de poder acceder a ellos fácilmente cuando llegue el momento:

•Haga un registro de to-dos los números de cuentas, números de emergencia, información de contacto y contraseñas de sus cuentas

bancarias y de las tarjetas de crédito, préstamos, pólizas de seguro, servicios y otras cuen-tas importantes.•Actualícelo regularmente

y guarde copias impresas en lugares seguros fuera de su casa, como una caja de se-guridad o en casa de algún amigo de confianza que viva en otra área.•También puede enviarse

a sí mismo la lista por correo electrónico en un archivo en-criptado protegido por con-traseña, guardarlo en un CD o pendrive, o usar un servicio de almacenamiento virtual al que pueda acceder desde cualquier conexión a Inter-net.•Haga copias en PDF de

sus declaraciones fiscales, pó-lizas de seguro y documentos legales y guárdelas en otro lu-gar, al igual que en el caso an-terior, por si sus computado-ras se dañan. Haga también copias digitales de las fotos familiares que más aprecie, documentos y otros recuer-dos que el dinero no pueda reemplazar.

Si alguna vez tiene que ha-cer un reclamo en su compa-ñía de seguro o reclamar una deducción fiscal por bienes perdidos, robados o dañados, será mucho más fácil si tiene un inventario de todas sus cosas – incluso es mejor te-ner fotos o videos. Pruebe la aplicación de inventario do-méstico del Instituto de In-formación de Seguros (www.iii.org), que es gratis y segura.

Además, investigue qué cubren y qué no cubren sus pólizas de seguro en caso de desastres naturales. Talvez necesite contratar una cober-tura adicional para los daños asociados con huracanes, tornados, terremotos y otras condiciones climáticas.

En resumen: tener un plan familiar de emergencia pue-de reducir el impacto en caso de desastre.

(STATEPOINT)

When it comes to getting a job or doing business, social media and other forms of electronic communication are great networking tools, however, there will never be a substitute for communicat-ing face-to-face.

In 2013, 68 million busi-ness professionals attended business-to-business exhibi-tions, according to the Cen-ter for Exhibition Industry Research (www.CEIR.org). And it’s no wonder that this industry contributes more than $79.3 billion directly to the gross domestic prod-uct in attendee and exhibitor spending.

All working professionals stand to gain from attend-ing exhibitions and events as buyers, exhibitors, or simply as general attendees. Wheth-er you’re at a major trade show looking for candidates to help expand your business,

or you’re a job seeker attend-ing a local business confer-ence, exhibitions bring the right audiences together.

Whatever your goals are, there are universal ways to maximize your presence at industry events:

Be PreparedLearn about event attendees

and engage with them online in advance so that when you meet in person, you’re sim-ply continuing the dialogue. Trade show organizers often provide planning resources, like mobile apps and sched-uling tools that make these conversations easier.

It is helpful to create a list of whom you plan to connect with beforehand and what you want to get out of your experience.

Are you starting a business? See if the event features a startup session. Most events have space on the exhibit

floor dedicated to startups as well. Are you interested in expanding your professional skills set? Look into the edu-cation sessions available.

New Career PathWhile employment rates

are on the rise, they’re still lower than prior to the reces-sion. Despite the numbers, the exhibitions and events industry is thriving, support-ing 1.8 million jobs across the country, according to the Convention Industry Coun-cil.

Whether your experience is in research, food and bev-erage management, event planning or sales, the exhi-bitions and events industry may be an ideal sector to forge a new career.

Learnyou may no longer be in

school, but that’s no excuse to discontinue career train-ing or your education. Take advantage of workshops, seminars and the other op-portunities to expand your skills and earn new certifi-cations that exhibitions and events provide. At the very least, such experiences can provide an opening with key contacts.

Whether you’re the top boss or looking to get hired, exhi-bitions and events can be a great time and money invest-ment.

The signs of depression in an elderly person can be easy to miss. We may in-correctly assume that being depressed is just part of the aging process. But despite its often being ignored or overlooked, depression can be a very real problem for many elderly people. It's a serious health issue that needs to be treated when it happens at any age.

Admittedly, recognizing true depression in the el-derly can be difficult. An older person can have nu-merous reasons for feel-ing sad – the recent loss of someone close, increased health problems, lessened social opportunities, finan-cial worries and similar problems the elderly can face.

The key is recognizing the differences between simple sadness and actual depres-sion. Sadness is just an emotional low point and it's

usually short-lived. True depression is a life-altering problem. It can diminish every aspect of a person’s life and helps cause the high rate of suicide among the elderly.

Real depression is an on-

going, persistent mood. It’s not just having a sad day or two but rather facing a con-tinual emotional low that interferes with daily life ac-tivities and functions.

There are a number of

signs to look for. They in-clude withdrawing socially, losing interest in pleasur-able activities and ignoring personal care and hygiene. A depressed person often has sleep problems, per-haps difficulty falling asleep or waking repeatedly, then suffering from daytime sleepiness.

Depression can also up-

set normal eating patterns. There may be a lack of in-terest in food and subse-quent weight loss, or binge eating and sudden weight gain.

Depression can leave the person feeling discouraged, hopeless, and worthless. There may be little energy, no interest in things around him or her, or perhaps high levels of anxiety, feelings of guilt or constant irritability and demanding behavior.

If someone you care about

(or you yourself) is display-ing such symptoms over an extended period of time, clinical depression could be the cause and it requires action. Depression does not cure itself or just go away. And many elderly people have trouble asking for help, especially just because they feel "sad."

Be pro-active and seek

help. While clinical depres-sion is a serious problem, the good news is that once identified, there are a vari-ety of effective treatments available. Consult with a professional counselor or other mental health pro-fessional to find out more about dealing with this is-sue.

Una nueva encuesta na-cional en línea realizada por Harris Interactive en nombre de ViiV Healthcare en 2013 arroja cierta luz sobre los posibles motivos por los que algunas personas con VIH positivo buscan tratamiento y lo continúan, y otras no lo hacen.

¿Por qué tiene importancia? Porque, a pesar del impor-tante progreso en el acceso a la atención y la terapia para el VIH, solo uno de cada tres adultos que tienen VIH en Estados Unidos toma el me-dicamento que necesita para vivir de manera más salu-dable durante más tiempo y reducir el riesgo de transmitir la enfermedad a una pareja.

De acuerdo con la encuesta, los adultos con VIH positivo

que no toman un medica-mento recetado para tratar su enfermedad no tienen información precisa sobre el VIH y su tratamiento. De hecho, solo un 25 porcien-to de estas personas están conscientes de que tomar un medicamento recetado para el VIH reduce el riesgo de transmitir la enfermedad a una pareja.

“Esta encuesta refleja que la falta de conocimiento sobre el tratamiento por parte de las personas con VIH puede ser un posible obstáculo para la terapia antirretrovírica y que es fundamental educar a las personas sobre la impor-tancia y los beneficios del tra-tamiento para el VIH”, expre-só Julie Scofield, Directora Ejecutiva de la National Alliance of State & Territorial AIDS Directors (Alianza Nacional de Directores

Estatales y Territoriales para el SIDA). “Como parte de nuestros constantes esfuer-zos educativos, también de-bemos continuar abordando el estigma y los problemas de discriminación existentes que enfrentan las personas con VIH. Las consecuencias relacionadas con esta proble-mática son de amplio alcan-ce y pueden interferir con el tratamiento, la atención y las pruebas del VIH.”

Las autoridades sanitarias recomiendan el tratamiento temprano para el beneficio del paciente, por lo tanto es importante que todas las personas diagnosticadas con VIH busquen la atención y la asesoría que necesitan. El sitio web www.aids.gov es un gran recurso para obtener in-formación sobre el apoyo lo-cal, el tratamiento y la prueba de VIH.

Cuando se reúnen los amigos y la familia para celebrar los días cálidos, la ensalada de papa es probablemente la guarnición más popular. No obstante, la tradicional ensalada con mayonesa y huevos que todos conocemos y disfrutamos está siendo reemplazada por versiones más livianas, que incluyen más vegetales, distintas fuentes de proteínas y aderezos más saludables.

Para la vinagreta, mezcle todos los ingredientes en un tazón, salvo el aceite, y bata hasta lograr una consistencia espumo-sa. Mientras agrega el aceite, bata la preparación de manera continua. Mezcle hasta integrar todo el aceite. Condimente a gusto.

Para la ensalada, hierva las papas en agua con un poco de sal. Corte el pimiento en tiras delgadas de dos pulgadas. Corte la cebolla en rodajas � nas. En un tazón para ensalada, coloque las papas tibias, distribuya el pimiento y la cebolla sobre las papas, y vierta aproximadamente 1/2 taza de vinagreta.

Con las manos, mezcle la ensalada hasta que las papas estén cubiertas con la vinagreta, y la cebolla y el pimiento estén bien distribuidos.

Pruebe la ensalada, y condimente con sal y pimienta recién molida. Deje reposar la ensalada, por lo menos, durante una hora. Antes de servir, vuelva a probar la ensalada y agregue vinagreta a gusto.

Cinthia RodriguezEL OBSERVADOR

Hace 33 años se descubrió el virus de la inmunodefi -ciencia humana y el síndro-me de inmunodefi ciencia adquirida lo que ahora cono-cemos como VIH/SIDA. En 1981, no había ni siquiera un nombre para la enfermedad. En 1983 se dio el primer caso en el Condado de Santa Cla-ra y comenzó la respuesta a esa emergencia, incluyendo el esfuerzo nacional de crear un día especial de hacerse la prueba de VIH/SIDA, el 27 de junio.

Uno de los grupos al que más les interesa llevarle el mensaje de hacerse la prue-ba del VIH es la comunidad latina principalmente porque ellos no se hacen la prueba del VIH por una u otra razón.

“Ay que notar que en el 2010 se estimó que 118 mil latinos murieron con el diag-nostico de SIDA, esto es al nivel nacional, este no es un numero pequeño, realmente esta indicando que el VIH esta impactando de una ma-nera desproporcionada a la comunidad latina”, dijo Patty Cerrato, especialista en edu-cación de salud, Salud Pú-blica del Condado de Santa Clara. “Todos tenemos que tomar la acción de hacernos la prueba, hablar con los hi-jos, los amigos, mantener el tema en la mente, educarse acerca del tema”.

Un tercio de la población que tiene VIH/SIDA son hispanos. Es una comunidad que esta siendo afectada gra-vemente con este problema. Una en cinco personas que tienen VIH no saben que tie-nen el virus. Estas personas están transmitiendo la en-

fermedad sin saberlo y es por eso que es importante hacer-se la prueba.

La prueba es sencilla, no es dolorosa, se puede hacer con una muestra bucal, y los resultados están listos en 20 minutos. Para participar en hacerse la prueba pueden visitar el sitio www.hivtest.org poner su código postal y saldrán las clínicas donde puedes hacerte la prueba. To-das las clínicas del Condado de San José tienen pruebas gratuitas.

“Lo que estamos intentando hacer principalmente es, pri-mero disminuir los números de infecciones de VIH, des-pués, es mejorar la calidad de vida y cuidado de las per-sonas que ya están infecta-das con VIH”, dijo Cerrato. “También tratar de disminuir la disparidad en salud rela-cionada con los incrementos de los casos de VIH”.

Hay diferentes razones por las que la gente no se hace la prueba, ya sea por no tener seguro medico o por no es-tar informados, y a veces no quieren hacerse la prueba de VIH porque esta enfermada está estigmatizada. Existen clínicas donde pueden llegar y hacerse la prueba confi den-cialmente o anónimamente, donde no dará ningún dato personal.

En caso de que el resultado sea positivo es mejor saber-lo en un estado temprano porque las personas tienen mejor posibilidades de man-tenerse saludable y los trata-mientos ejercerán un efecto mejor en la persona.

El condado tiene varias organizaciones, como el programa ‘conexiones posi-

tivas’ donde un trabajador social le ayuda a adquirir to-dos los servicios necesarios. Eso incluye tratamiento, servicios de nutrición, con-sejería, y educación sobre medicamento. El programa no requiere información de estatus migratorio. También está el Health Trust, otra or-ganización que proporciona la misma ayuda.

Del 2011 al 2013 en el Con-dado de Santa Clara han habido aproximadamente 125-140 personas que han sido diagnosticadas por pri-mera vez con HIV/SIDA. En el pasado alcanzó un máximo de 340 casos pero en 1997 se reportó por primera vez que había una reducción real-mente grande debido a los tratamientos y medicación.

“Gradualmente la gente se

ha ido educando y tomando acción, y diferentes trata-mientos medicinales han lle-gado a las mentes de las per-sonas, y el riesgo de contraer la enfermedad se está redu-ciendo”, dijo Cerrato. “Creo que han dejado de hablar del tema porque ya saben la for-ma cómo se transmite, saben cómo prevenirla, y la gente esta respondiendo a estos mensajes”.

33 years ago the human immunodefi ciency virus and acquired immunodefi ciency syndrome was discovered, what we now know as HIV/AIDS. In 1981, there was not even a name for the disease. In 1983, Santa Clara County had its fi rst known case and they began their response to the emergency. Including the national effort to get tested. This year, that day is set to June 27.

The county is really interest-ed in delivering the message primarily to the Latino com-munity because for whatever reason they don’t’ really get tested for HIV.

"Let’s keep in mind that in 2010, an estimate of 118,000 Latinos died because of AIDS, this is the national lev-el, this is not a small number, this really indicates that HIV is disproportionately impact-ing the Latino community," said Patty Cerrato, specialist health educator, Santa Clara County Public Health. "We all have to take action to get tested, talking with children, friends, keep the theme in mind, get educated about the issue."

A third of the population with HIV/AIDS is Hispanic.

It is a community that is se-verely affected by this prob-lem. One in fi ve people with HIV do not know they are living with the virus. These people are unknowingly spreading the disease mak-ing it important to get tested.

The test is simple, it’s not painful, it is a mouth swab, and the results are ready in 20 minutes. To participate in getting tested people can visit www.hivtest.org put in their zip code and the clinics offer-ing the test will be listed. All clinics in Santa Clara County provide the test at no cost.

"What we're trying to do is, fi rst mainly decrease the numbers of HIV infections, then, is to improve the qual-ity of life and care for people who are already infected with HIV," said Cerrato. "We also try to reduce health dis-parities that are related to in-crease in HIV cases."

Some people go without being tested because they lack insurance or are not be-ing informed and sometimes they simply don’t want to ask for an HIV test because this disease is stigmatized. There are clinics where they can get confi dential or anonymous testing.

If the results are positive it is better to know at an early stage because people have

a better chance of staying healthy and the treatments will also have a greater ben-efi t.

The county has several re-sources available, such as the program 'positive connec-tions' where a social worker helps the person acquire all the necessary services. That includes therapy, nu-trition services, counseling, education and medicine. The program does not re-quire knowledge of immigra-tion status. There is also the health trust, another organi-zation that provides the same support.

From 2011 to 2013 in San-ta Clara County there have been approximately 125-140 people who have been newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. It once reached a maximum of 340 cases reported and by 1997 for the fi rst time there was a really big reduction due to treatment and medication.

"Gradually people became educated and all such actions and different drug treatment came into peoples’ mind and the risk of contracting the dis-ease is shrinking," said Cerra-to. "I think they have ceased to talk about it because they know how its transmitted, they know how to prevent it, and people are responding to these messages."

La cinta cuenta la historia de cuatro jóvenes del barrio bajo de Nueva Jersey que se unieron para formar el icónico grupo The Four Seasons. La historia de sus penas y triunfos está acompañada por las canciones que infl uenciaron a toda una generación, incluyendo “Sherry”, “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, “Walk Like a Man”, “Dawn”, “Rag Doll”, “Bye Bye Baby”, “Who Loves You” y muchas más.

Estos éxitos clásicos ahora son adoptados por una nueva generación de fans a través de la obra musical, la cual ha permanecido en Broadway por más de ocho años y también ha gozado de exitosas giras por todo el mundo.

In the highly anticipated sequel, which was inspired by Steve Harvey’s best-selling book Act Like a Lady, Think Like A Man, all the couples are back for a wedding in Las Vegas. But plans for a romantic weekend go awry when their various misadventures get them into some compromising situations that threaten to derail the big event.

Ten years after a collapse of the Western economic system, Australia’s mineral resources have drawn the desperate and dangerous to its shores. With society in decline, the rule of law has disintegrated and life is cheap. Eric (Guy Pearce)is a cold and angry drifter who has left everything and everyone behind.

When his car –his last possession – is stolen by a gang of desperate desert hustlers, Eric embarks on a ruthless mission to track them down. Along the way, he is forced into an unlikely relationship with Rey (Robert Pattinson), the naive and injured younger brother of gang member Henry (Scoot McNairy) who has left Rey behind in the aftermath of the gang’s recent robbery.

The Mazda3 has a quality feel with great technology in this economic compact car. Driving this car made me feel con-nected to the road as I opened up the throttle with the 2.0L DOHC 4 Cyl-inder engine, 6-speed manual and the SKyACTIV®-G gasoline engine boast-ing a 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft torque. EPA gas mileage with advanced direct injection is 29 City/40 Highway mpg. Helping the Mazda3 achieve its fuel economy is the i-Eloop regenerative braking system. Similar to hybrid vehicles, i-Eloop converts kinetic energy to elec-tricity when the car is braking or coasting down. Rather than reuse that electricity as drive energy, though, the Mazda3 uses it to power all of the car’s auxiliary systems, taking some of the generator load off the

engine. The independent front and rear suspension and electric power assisted rack and pinion steering felt tight and had a ready response to all my driving actions. The interior displayed a sporty red piping leatherette-trimmed seats and trim that was fairly comfortable, and had heated, 6-way power driver’s seat with manual lumbar adjustments. Available features also included Bluetooth® hands-free phone and audio capability, advanced key-less entry & start system, Infotainment sys-tem with a 7” full—color touchscreen dis-play, multi-function Commander control, rearview camera that helped guide you when in reverse, Bose® 9 speaker surround sound system with Centerpoint®2 and Au-dioPilot®2, HD radio, SiriusxM satellite radio with 4 month subscription, Aha™ internet radio integration, Pandora® in-ternet radio integration, Stitcher™ internet

radio integration, SMS text message audio delivery and reply, dual-zone automatic climate control system and much more.

The monochrome projection showed speed, lane-departure warnings and route guidance. While driving, or changing lanes, the Mazda3 had a lane departure warning system that alerted you if an-other car was near your car and helped to keep you alert with the beeping signals.

Standard safety features included ad-vanced front air bags, front side-impact air bags, side-impact air curtains, Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control system, 4-wheel ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist.Starting manufactured suggested retail price basic begins at $18,945 but with available features, $24,335.

It’s unfair that communi-ties, which are less organized and less wealthy, often shoul-der the burden of hosting polluters like landfi lls, in-cinerators and power plants. “Frequently, these facilities end up in the places that put up the least resistance, either because residents are un-aware of the projects planned for their area, or because they don’t have the money, organization, knowledge or political clout to mount ef-fective opposition,” says the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a leading non-profi t.

The key, says NRDC, is to stay informed: “A lot of bad projects slip into communi-ties under the radar,” they caution. Companies looking to site unpopular projects that need approval from local zoning boards count on local residents being absent from the public meetings where the projects get discussed.

Attending planning & zon-ing or city council meet-ings is a fi rst line of defense against letting polluters in. Be prepared by getting meet-

ing agendas in advance and looking for red fl ags that can be discussed with the pow-ers-that-be in person or at public sessions. And keep up with the Public Notices sec-tion of the local paper where public hearings concerning local land use must be an-nounced by law.

Staying informed is one thing, but knowing what to look and listen for is another: “Certain types of develop-ment pose potential environ-mental and health problems for host communities,” re-ports NRDC. “They need not be automatically opposed, but they should be carefully scrutinized.”

NRDC recommends paying close attention to plans for incinerators, landfi lls, waste transfer stations, water pollu-tion control or sewage treat-ment plants, bus or truck de-pots and parking lots, power plants, highways, airports, metal plating and auto body or auto repair shops. Beyond looking out for these and other types of polluting proj-ects, community residents should be aware of and ask questions about any pro-posed change in zoning or in the local municipal or county

“Master Plan” or “Commu-nity Environmental Plan.”

Some of the tasks necessary to mounting a good defense include thoroughly research-ing a proposed facility’s po-tential impacts (including contacting people in other areas where similar types of facilities have been sited), bringing in experts and reaching out to more com-munity members to align them accordingly.

If community members are focused on their goals and have enough support from neighbors they can succeed in either blocking a proposed new facility or expansion, or at least in increasing pollu-tion controls.

Communities need to be vigilant about plans to site incinerators, landfi lls, was-te transfer stations, sewage treatment plants or other toxic facilities nearby.

The photographs in the exhibition illuminate the fascinating, accessible sci-ence at work every day in our kitchens. “Cooking is the only science experiment we all do

on a regular basis,” Myhrvold says. "Nathan Myhrvold's passion for food and pho-tography are on full display in this extraordinary exhib-it,” said Tech President Tim Ritchie. “He enables us to see how wonderful and beautiful food really is, and how we can use technology to prepare it in delightful ways." “I hope that others share with us the child-like wonder and curi-osity I feel when looking at

these photos,” Myhrvold says. “The exhibition and book are in many ways a culmination of my lifelong interest in pho-tography, in much the same way that Modernist Cuisine was a milestone in my inter-est in food.”

Visitors will see the fractal structures and mesmerizing color gradations of vitamin C crystals through research microscopes with fi lters that polarize light. They’ll learn about the physics that pro-pel and explode a bursting kernel of popcorn through the lens of a high-speed video camera that slows the ac-tion by a factor of 200. This unprecedented collection of images uses these innova-tions and other advanced technologies – including photographic techniques like panoramic stitching, focus stacking, and microscopy – to show the world of food in an entirely new way.

The Tech is the exhibition’s second stop in a three-year

worldwide tour.

“Michoacán es un estado de tradiciones, cul-tura y gente bonita. Para mí es motivo de or-gullo ser considerada en este proyecto, apor-tando un granito de arena para promover la cultura y la música de este país tan hermoso”, destacó Eugenia León, quien ganó el primer lugar en el Festival de la OTI 1985.

La peruana Tania Libertad destacó que Mé-xico ha sido como su segunda patria y siem-pre disfruta participar en eventos que contri-buyan a promover e impulsar culturas, por lo que prometió un concierto memorable.

El Programa Especial de Cultura para Mi-choacán forma parte, al mismo tiempo, del programa México, Cultura para la Armonía, que busca hacer del arte y la cultura agentes de la transformación social para contribuir a la reconstrucción del tejido social.

Autoridades culturales de Michoacán in-formaron que en lo que resta del año, se organizarán caravanas con grupos locales y nacionales de distintas disciplinas que harán recorridos llevando espectáculos, librobuses, cuentacuentos, talleres y actividades diversas para el público infantil y juvenil.

Antes de los espectáculos de Eugenia y Ta-nia, los días 21 y 22 de junio, se realizará en Uruapan, Michoacán, la cuarta jornada de las Galas Identitarias y la Fiesta de la Cultura Viva.

Son encuentros en los que se presentan las expresiones culturales de las comunidades como una forma de reconocer y reforzar la dignidad de la identidad cultural, al tiempo que se otorgan reconocimientos como Teso-ros Humanos Vivientes.

El día 24 de Junio, se celebra en todo el mundo “el día de San Juan Bautista”, el Santo Patrón de la capital de la Isla del encanto, Puerto Rico. Los artistas de Puerto Rico son famosos en todo el mundo, tienen una sazón inigualable. Rita Moreno la única mujer latina con los tres premios grandes de Hollywood, entre ellos el Oscar. Tito Puente que dejó legado, Venicio del Toro, la JLO, Tito Trinidad, Cha-yanne, Steven Bower, Robi Draco, Ricky Martín, el Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, 5 miss universos y casi siempre o ga-nan o son finalistas en con-cursos de belleza. Sin olvidar a Olga Tañón quién es la artista con más Premios lo Nuestro de Univision.

Siempre seré... aguinaldo, bomba y plena, canta la In-dia; pero además de estos ritmos, Puerto Rico exporta salsa, merengue, reggaeton y el mapeyé. Si señores, la música boricua se toca desde San Juan, Miami, Bayamón, Aguadilla y Nueva york, hasta París, Caracas, Madrid o Kua-la Lumpur.

Cristóbal Colón descubrió el 19 de noviembre de 1493 a la isla de Puerto Rico durante su segundo viaje a las Américas. Los indígenas la llamaban Borikén. La isla fue bautizada en nombre de San Juan Bau-tista. El 19 de noviembre de 1969, el Papa Pablo VI, firmó un decreto mediante el cual se declaró oficialmente a la Vir-gen de la Divina Providencia, como patrona principal de la isla del encanto. En el mismo

decreto, se unieron las dos grandes festividades del pue-blo puertorriqueño, ya que la isla también fue descubierta un 19 de noviembre. Es un pueblo religioso.

Luis, un puertorriqueño dice: ”lo que más amo de mi patria es la hospitalidad, y admiro de manera especial a Iris Chacón”. ¡Bingo! Iris en los ochentas bailaba como una diosa erótico caribeña y le dejó el ojo cuadrado nada más y nada menos que al Rey Hussein de Jordania. ¡Epa!

Actualmente nadie baila con el tumbao que tiene Iris Cha-cón.

Si señores, por su música, arte, belleza, calidad humana y hasta por el coquí, que “Viva Puerto Rico”.

It’s no secret that families are busy these days. Between mom and dad’s careers, the kids’ school demands and ex-tra-curricular activities, qual-ity time together as a family is hard to come by. This busy lifestyle is inspiring a new travel movement, and 2014 is positioned for the grand rebirth of the family vacation.

If you want to take an un-forgettable family vacation this year, the idea of planning might seem overwhelm-ing. But travel experts agree that planning ahead and re-searching your options are important steps to ensure your trip is stress-free and full of fun.

Follow these five steps to plan a trip your entire family will love and remember for years to come:

Step 1: Make a travel wish list

Kick off your travel plan-ning by talking to all family members about what they’d like to see and do on vaca-tion. Keep it light-hearted and have some fun - chat with your 4-year-old over

breakfast or text your teen af-ter school. As you have these conversations, notice com-monalities, such as location and experiences.

Step 2: Research, research, research

After your initial conversa-tions with your family, it’s time to do your research. The Internet has made selecting a travel destination that much easier - or harder because there are so many options. Check out tourism organi-zations, such as a Chamber of Commerce or Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB). Look up online hotel and travel reviews - these sites can provide invaluable informa-tion for travelers. Many sites even have free online travel planners or visitor’s guides.

Step 3: Choose a destination for

everyonePerhaps the most impor-

tant consideration when planning a family vacation is to select a destination that has something for every per-son in your group.

Step 4: Select your ideal

accommodationsWhether you’re vacationing

for a long weekend or mul-tiple weeks, it’s important to choose the right accommo-dations for your family. For example, if you know you’ll be at the beach daily, stay at a shore-side resort. If you want to save on eating expenses, look into condos with kitch-ens. For big groups such as family reunions, consider a beach house that allows ev-eryone to stay in their own room within one shared space.

Step 5: Create a fun-filled itinerary

This is a vacation, and while you shouldn’t plan out every hour of every day, having a basic itinerary gives direc-tion to your trip and will help your group build excitement prior to your departure. Plus, planning ahead allows you to seek out deep discounts on tickets to shows and theme parks. you can even explore free activities like festivals and celebrations in the area that would be worthwhile to attend.

If you feel like it’s time for your family to take a break from the stress of everyday life, a family vacation might be just what everyone needs.

Considerado el mejor por-tero del Mundial Brasil 2014, el mexicano Guillermo Ochoa es nuevamente visto con in-terés por los clubes italianos Milán y Napoli, informaron hoy medios locales. Según el cotidiano La Gazzetta dello Sport “ya hay quien lo ve con la camiseta del Milán”, la es-cuadra propiedad de Silvio Berlusconi que en el pasado había demostrado interés por el mexicano.

Por su parte, el sitio web ulti-mecalcionapoli.it recordó que desde mayo de 2013 el nom-bre de Ochoa fue vinculado con el Napoli.Dijo que esa sociedad estaría nuevamente interesado en él en virtud de la finalización de su contrato con el club francés Ajaccio y su desempeño en el partido del martes.

En tanto, el diario La Re-pubblica escribió que en el encuentro de la víspera entre Brasil y México, finalizado con un 0 a 0, la escuadra ca-rioca se topó “con un pavoro-so muro de nombre Guiller-mo Ochoa”, “un muchacho que paró hasta a las moscas y que en este momento está in-cluso sin una escuadra”.

“Seguramente desde esta mañana su hotel estará lleno

de mercaderes de carne hu-mana”, anotó.“El portero des-empleado que detuvo al Bra-sil de Neymar”, tituló el diario La Stampa un artículo sobre la proeza de Ochoa.“Detuvo todo, mandó fuera de sí a Fe-lipao Scolari (el técnico de la escuadra brasileña)”, anotó.

“El hombre que hizo enmu-decer a Brasil no tiene nin-

gún contrato y en el último campeonato fue retrocedido”, escribió.Según el periódico Corriere della Sera, en el par-tido contra Brasil “fue México el que hizo ver las mejores cosas, con un partido jugado inteligente y valerosamente, basado en una defensa atenta y bien registrada”.

La Ruta Ciclista del Centro, que este año cumple su cuar-ta versión, tiene carácter de preselectivo para los Juegos Centroamericanos y del Ca-ribe Veracruz 2014, ya que se presentan una decena de pedalistas que están en esa posibilidad.

El presidente de la Federa-ción Mexicana de Ciclismo, Edgardo Hernández, dijo que la competencia marca una pauta para ver el nivel de los pedalistas que aspiran a ser parte de la selección a los centroamericanos, que es la primera parada rumbo a los Juegos Olímpicos de Río de Janeiro 2016.

sión ciclista se han dado cita los mejores competidores de ruta del país como Luis Fer-nando Macías, Ignacio Sara-bia, una dupla que ha estado en España y Colombia.

Hernández Chagoya co-mentó que con el quipo femenil se tienen otros pla-nes, entre ellos que se vaya a Europa para fogueo ante las mejores, y ganar un boleto al Mundial de Ruta en España en septiembre.

Como parte de la selección femenil van: Jenny Ríos,

Carolina Rodríguez, yusseli Mendivil, Andrea Villarreal, medallista panamericana en Zacatecas 2013, y Karla Ló-pez.
