HEAD LINESMosquitoes Infected with West Nile Virus Found in Areas of

San José and Campbell / � e Santa Clara County Vector Control District (SCCVCD) con� rmed on June 21 that adult mosquitoes collected from the 95125, 95126, and 95128 ZIP code areas of the cities of San José and a small portion of the city of Campbell tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV).  � e detection of mosquitoes infected with WNV has prompted the scheduling of a mosquito fogging treatment in the surrounding area, in an e� ort to prevent human cases of WNV.  Weather permi� ing; the ground fogging is scheduled for � ursday, June 26, at 11:00 p.m., and is planned to last for several hours. � e zone is centered at Fruitdale Avenue and Leigh Avenue.

Restaurants Prepare for New Foam Food Container Ban / San José’s Foam Food Container Ordinance bans food containers made from EPS, a product similar to Styrofoam™, with the ordinance in e� ect at multi-state restaurant chains since January 1, 2014, and in e� ect at all other San José restaurants, including mobile and street vendors. � e EPS Ordinance was approved by San José City Council on August 27, 2013. � e goal of the or-dinance is to protect water quality and wildlife by prohibiting the use of EPS foam food containers that are a common source of li� er in streets and waterways.

California makes an offi cial call for a U.S. Constitutional Conven-tion to overturn Citizens United / � e State Senate passed AJR 1, mak-ing California the second state in the union to o� cially call for an Article V constitutional convention for the sole purpose of passing a United States constitutional amendment that would e� ectively overturn Citizens United v. FEC and limit the corrupting in� uence of money in our electoral process. A� er passing the State Assembly earlier this year 51 to 20, AJR 1 passed the State Senate 23 to 11 with thunderous applause from the gallery. Because it’s a joint resolution, it takes e� ect immediately without the signature of Governor Brown.

Disfrute del sol con cuidado Cualquier persona puede padecer cáncer de piel / Siempre que pueda, evite exponerse al sol, especialmente entre las 10 a.m. y las 4 p.m., cuando los rayos del sol son más fuertes. Si trabaja o juega al aire libre, use ropa que cubra sus brazos y piernas; un som-brero que cubra su rostro y orejas; y lentes para el sol que � ltren los rayos ultravioleta para protegerse los ojos. Use crema con � ltro solar que tenga un factor de protección (FSP) de 30 o más. Use productos de protección so-lar cuya etiqueta indique que son de “amplio espectro” (“broad spectrum” en inglés) y que pueden � ltrar tanto los rayos ultravioleta A como los rayos ultravioleta B. No use camas solares ni cabinas de bronceado o lámparas solares, porque también estas máquinas emiten rayos ultravioleta.

Luisa Fernanda MonteroLA RED HISPANA

Lo que se sabe, es que el hombre, Isidro García, se-cuestró a la hija de su novia, es decir a su hijastra y se la llevo para abusar de ella física y sexualmente, como Pedro por su casa.

A Isidro la vida le sonreía; una vez harto de intimar con su novia mexicana, decide cambiar de presa y quedarse con la adolescente de 15 años a quien envuelve y trauma-tiza con suma facilidad, y no pasa nada.

Isidro no tuvo que esforzarse demasiado, cometió sus actos delictivos a la vista de todo el mundo, de tal suerte que hoy, los vecinos que lo vieron lle-var una vida de pareja “muy normal” con la víctima, no salen de su asombro.Isidro García, es un inmi-grante originario de Morelos,

México, que a diferencia de los millones de inmigrantes que pasan los días trabajando honestamente y esperando que la buena providencia les dé la oportunidad de hacerlo legalmente, hizo lo que quiso con el sistema. El desorden, la injusticia y el absurdo que rigen las leyes migratorias estadounidenses jugaron a favor de este hombre, que usó el sin sentido del sistema para manipular a su antojo la voluntad de una menor de edad.

Según los cargos presentados en Santa Ana, California Isi-dro García asaltó sexualmen-te a la víctima en repetidas ocasiones, tras haberla rapta-do de la casa de su madre en el 2004; en un comienzo las drogas y el encierro fueron fundamentales, pero con el tiempo, al hábil secuestrador le fue sufi ciente con la mani-pulación y el lavado de cere-bro. Está claro que no le fue

muy difícil dominar a una adolescente que creía haber sido olvidada por su familia y que vivía bajo la amenaza de la deportación.

¿Cuántas personas viven día a día bajo esa amenaza en Estados Unidos? ¿Cuántas injusticias ocurren diaria-mente gracias a la inefi cien-cia del sistema migratorio? ¿Cuántos individuos ines-crupulosos se aprovechan cotidianamente del miedo y la ignorancia de aquellos que no han podido acceder legal-mente a una tarjeta verde? ¿Cuántos se ven obligados a doblegarse y a entregar su fuerza laboral por pagas mi-serables, debido a su situa-ción migratoria?

El sistema es tan inefi ciente que llega a ser ridículo. En Estados Unidos hombres como Mario Hernández sir-ven en las Fuerzas Armadas durante la guerra de Viet-

nam, trabajan para el gobier-no y votan en las elecciones, sin enterarse de que no son ciudadanos estadouniden-ses. A este distraído veterano la noticia le cayó como balde de agua fría cuando quiso hacerse de un pasaporte para irse de crucero.

Mientras no se apruebe una reforma migratoria integral, lógica, justa y efi ciente que le abra un camino a la ciu-dadanía a los más de doce millones de inmigrantes que viven y trabajan –honesta-

mente- en este país indivi-duos como Isidro García podrán seguir haciendo de las suyas, burlándose de un sistema inservible y victimi-zando inocentes, sin que pase nada.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com 3OPINIONJUNE 27- JULY 3, 2014

Let’s fi rst congratulate those recent high school graduates who just received their high school diploma. Many, including those having low incomes, are planning to fi nance their con-tinuing education with ‘student loans’ to aug-ment family funds and scholarship awards. Currently an estimated 44 million individu-als used student loans to pay for their educa-tion. Student loan debt amounts to $1.2 tril-lion which exceeds national credit card debt. Therefore , it is important that an individual aspiring to attend college realize that he/she needs a customized educational business plan. The objective of that plan is to ‘know before your owe”, as well as to defi ne costs of acquir-ing the knowledge and skills of your future chosen profession. It is especially important for low-income families to encourage their kids to accept that they are ‘in business’. It is in their personal best interest to do the comprehensive 5 year plan projections required. This planning effort will assist in identifying options having lower costs.

One such option is to attend a local commu-nity college for the fi rst two years (@ $6,000 per year) prior to transferring to a university costing much more. Today, this does not hap-pen often because high school career counsel-

ing was reduced or eliminated due to school budget shortfalls. Also, it is not always neces-sary to attend an elite prestigious university be-cause the same knowledge can be had at lower cost public institutions. Future employers are more interested in your ability ‘’to perform’ rather than the prestigious degree you have earned at a higher cost.

Another option is to devise your own person-al ‘work-study’ plan which would enable you to earn your professional degree over seven years on a ‘Pay as you go’ basis. Many promising ca-reers can be accessed in this manner. Check out professional associations and unions for their internship programs and paid apprenticeships (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, & con-struction trades). In the bio-medical fi eld there now exists many careers which did not exist 20 years ago. Examples are Renal Dialysis Tech-nologists; Biomedical Electronic engineering; Human geneticists, etc. Youth need to be en-couraged to google information about any ca-reer online. Also know that some educational programs are online already free. One such highly regarded effort is the Kahn Academy which presents online programs which teach mathematics, physics, and other academic in-structional programs.

Many high school students have been encour-aged to go on to college after their high school graduation. Too many students , from families who have modest incomes and no prior college attendance experience, have been encouraged to consider attending a university ‘even if you have to borrow the money’ because ‘student loans’ are available. Many of these student loan debts were acquired without adequate prior planning nor knowledge of the ‘payback re-quirements’. Many of these loans were made by banks, at no risk, because of federal backup programs. Many jobs in business and com-merce can be learned on the job.

In California, a total of $103.4 billion in stu-dent loans is the debt burden that 4 million for-mer students bear. This amounts to an average personal debt of $25,850 which may prevent a young person from buying a home or plan-ning to start a family. Life altering decisions are impacted. Some economists are concerned that these student loans prevent individuals from fully participating in the local consumer economy, since monthly loan payments do not enter the consumer spending revenue stream.

The U.S. Senate recently blocked legislation sponsored by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-

Mass) which would have permitted refi nanc-ing existing student loans at lower interest rates (3.8%). Republican Senators rejected this proposed legislation because of the modest income tax increase for the wealthy. President Obama announced a plan to cap student loan repayment plans at 10% of the adjusted gross discretionary income per year. This ‘Pay As You Earn’ executive order plan forgives the loan af-ter 20 years OR alternatively, after 10 years if the individual works for a nonprofi t organiza-tion or is a public civil servant. To learn more go to ‘studentaid.ed.gov’.

Carefully evaluate the ‘for-profi t’ academies which exist today before you commit to their educational programs and their costs. Look into the ‘hiring rate’ of their graduates with their degrees and certifi cates. Before buying these programs, exercise your due diligence.

Individuals who have acquired multidisci-plinary knowledge have employment/career advantages. Adopt ‘Pay as you go’ so as to not be responsible for debts which enslave you by limiting your career choices. Your personal educational fi nancial planning will really help you achieve without becoming severely in-debted.

SAN FRANCISCO

From New York to Hous-ton from Miami to San Jose, Calif., green card hold-ers will soon find it easier to become U.S. citizens. Today, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Houston Endowment an-nounced their intent to fund the New Americans Cam-paign’s work in cities across the nation and help thousands of green card holders. Knight Foundation has awarded $1 million over two years to the campaign, and the Houston Endowment has granted $200,000 over two years. “This new support is critical for our local service providers who are on the ground and experimenting with new ways to make the citizenship pro-

cess easier,” said Eric Cohen, the executive director of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco, which is the lead organiza-tion for the New Americans Campaign. “Increased col-laboration and innovation are key for modernizing the natu-ralization process in the U.S.” In the past two years, the New Americans Campaign has built a collaboration of more than 100 immigrant rights and service organiza-tions to provide low-cost citizenship assistance for lawful permanent residents, also known as green card holders. The campaign has helped more than 100,000 green card holders complete their citizenship applications. The campaign’s new ap-proaches include “mega workshops” in which hun-

dreds of volunteers collabo-rate to help applicants fill out citizenship applications. Other innovations involve using mobile apps to help green card holders prepare for the process and study for the English and civics exams. “Houston is a city that will continue to be built by immi-grants, and integrating them as citizens is critical to our future,” said Claudia Ortega-Hogue, Texas Director of Civic Engagement at the Na-tional Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Of-ficials (NALEO) Educational Fund, the site leader for the Houston collaborative. “In the coming years, we hope to continue helping thousands of green card holders here in Houston become citizens.” “Our communities can only benefit when more of our

green card holders become citizens,” said Benjamin de la Peña, Director of Commu-nity and National Strategy at Knight Foundation. “New Americans are entrepre-neurial and ready to engage. Streamlining the natural-ization process is good for them and for our nation.” Knight Foundation’s grant will go to the Campaign’s lo-cal collaboratives in Detroit; Charlotte, N.C.; Miami; and San Jose, Calif., and the Houston Endowment Grant will support partners in the Houston collaboration. Sup-ported activities include help-ing green card holders start the naturalization process, legal support with the citi-zenship application and help with overcoming financial barriers to citizenship.

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. Several other states have issued driving licens-es to the non documented drivers and now with the passing of AB 60, California will be issuing licenses. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is not issuing licenses until Jan 1, 2015.

SAN JOSE POLICE DEPARTMENT

Beware of the Scams: 1. Some criminals are asking for up to $1,000 each person to obtain a legal li-cense.2. Beware of agents claiming that they can help you by paying a fee. Some criminals are posing as DMV personnel, and lawyers with licenses. These impos-ters are illegally charging for services and licenses.3. Beware of false DMV websites or “How to get a California license” web pages.  The official website is www.dmv.ca.gov.4. Criminals are selling false documents to prove birth dates, and residency to present to the Department Motor Vehicle Department.5. If you are a victim or know of anyone who is criminally involved please call 911 or contact Crime Stoppers at 947-STOP.

Recognizing the need to fight blight in unincorpo-rated areas of Santa Clara County, the Board of Super-visors on June 24, 2014, cre-ated a Graffiti Cleanup Pro-gram with the goal of having graffiti removed within 48 hours.

The unanimous vote came

during the last meeting be-fore the July recess on a rec-ommendation by Supervisor Dave Cortese.

At Cortese’s request, the board asked staff to set a goal of having graffiti cleaned up within 48 hours. The current rules give property owners 10 days to comply. “Ten days is a long time to keep graffiti up,” Cortese said. “We want to en-courage property owners to get rid of it immediately.”The staff will also explore involv-ing the public in volunteer

graffiti cleanup efforts. While the County has worked with property owners to paint out graffiti, there hasn’t been a program or resources focused on illegal tagging since 2008. Revising the ordinance establishes the program and makes graffiti cleanup a priority.

“Graffiti has become a

big problem in some of the County pockets,” said Cor-

tese, chair of the Housing, Land Use, Environment and Transportation Committee that approved the program proposal in May. “Creating a program will help us enforce laws we already have and help us reach out to residents who are victims of this van-dalism.”

The Graffiti Cleanup Pro-

gram will be administered by the Planning and Devel-

opment Department and Code Enforcement Division. Besides overseeing graffiti re-moval and enforcement, the program will provide educa-tion to the community about how to prevent graffiti.

Gilroy es un lugar donde la gente quiere vivir y criar a sus familias. Nuestros residentes aprecian nuestra calidad de vida y desean que la ciudad siga avanzando. Como Jefe de Bomberos de Gilroy sé que tenemos necesidades importantes en los sistemas de comunicación del 9-1-1 y nuestra respuesta a situaciones de emergencia.

El sistema de comunicaciones de emergencia de Gilroy necesita ser actualizado, ya que es obsoleto y podría dejar a la ciudad aislada del resto del condado después de un desastre natural. En caso de un terremoto cuando se necesita ayuda crítica, debemos asegurarnos de que la policía y los bomberos y/o paramédicos de Gilroy puedan comunicarse de manera efectiva con los servicios de emergencia del 9-1-1 en ciudades vecinas.

Además, el mantener los tiempos de respuesta del 9-1-1 es esencial para mantener a los residentes seguros. Los médicos dicen que el cerebro empieza a deteriorarse cinco minutos después de que la persona deja de respirar. Tenemos que asegurarnos de que todos los camiones de bomberos de Gilroy, uno de los cuales tiene ya más de 25 años, se mantengan adecuadamente, estén debidamente equipados y capaces de responder rápidamente a las situaciones de emergencia.

Por desgracia, la ciudad no tiene los fondos para hacer frente a estos servicios y proyectos críticos. Entre otras necesidades, necesitamos modernizar los sistemas de comunicación del 9-1-1, ampliar los servicios de prevención de pandillas y del crimen, mantener la protección policial y los tiempos de respuesta a emergencias, y mejorar la accesibilidad para discapacitados en las calles y banquetas.

Estamos trabajando para desarrollar un plan para hacer frente a nuestras necesidades de seguridad pública y los tiempos de respuesta en la forma más responsable desde el punto de vista fi scal. Queremos saber de usted acerca de cuáles son sus prioridades para Gilroy y los servicios locales de la ciudad.

Advocates unveil suggested improvements to DMV’s proposed

regulations for immigrant

licenses SAN FRANCISCO LOS ANGELES

Community members and members of the Drive CA Co-alition released recommen-dations at a news conference today urging the Department of Motor Vehicles’ (DMV) to improve proposed regula-tions that will make driver licenses for undocumented immigrants a reality under California’s AB 60: “The Safe and Responsible Driver Act.” The recommendations come in the lead-up to highly antic-ipated public hearings which the DMV will hold on the

regulations next week in both Los Angeles and Oakland.

Participating organizations included ACLU of Northern California (ACLU-NC), the California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC), California Immigrant Youth Justice Al-liance (CIYJA), Presente.org, Services, Immigrant Rights, and Education Network (SI-REN), TODEC Legal Center, and Mujeres Unidas y Acti-vas.

Advocates encouraged the DMV to make document requirements more acces-sible for eligible immigrants and to add privacy and anti-discrimination protections to ensure the program’s success. “We firmly believe that all Californians stand to ben-efit from a successful driver’s license program that meets community needs. And today we are asking the DMV to re-tool its proposed regulations to do just that,” stated Julia

Harumi Mass, staff attorney with the ACLU-NC.On Fri-day, May 9th, the DMV re-leased proposed regulations outlining how the agency will verify applicant identity and California residency for the state’s new driver’s license law. It is expected that 1.5 million unauthorized immigrants in California will be eligible to become licensed and insured when the law comes into ef-fect on January 1, 2015.

Reshma Shamasunder, CIPC’s Executive Director stated, “In speaking with several service-providers and members of the community, we have found that the docu-ment requirements must be improved in order to ac-complish our shared goal of ensuring that all Californians can become tested, licensed, and insured drivers.”

Ms. Shamasunder and com-munity members declared

that requiring both a foreign passport and a consular ID is prohibitively expensive and impossible for some, cit-ing the cost of up to $128 per person for Mexican nationals. “In a place where $100 could be put towards groceries or childcare, having a passport is basically a luxury,” said Luis Nolasco with the Justice for Immigrants Coalition of In-land Southern California.

Other community members also shared concerns over the cost of obtaining various documents under DMV’s current proposal. “It would be a decision between paying for a passport or paying for shoes for my kids,” said Etelvina Lo-pez, a domestic worker and member of Mujeres Unidas y Activas, who is a prospective AB 60 applicant.

Addressing community calls to ensure that all ap-plicants are protected from

discrimination, Sandy Valen-ciano, Northern California Coordinator with CIYJA, stated: “At the end of the day, it comes down to inspiring community members’ trust and providing them with as-surance that they will not be treated differently than an-other driver if they get pulled over and show an AB 60 li-cense. The draft regulations must reflect our belief that all people are created equal and should be protected from dis-crimination. It’s as simple as that.”

Advocates also insisted that the DMV provide assurances that people’s information will be kept safe and secure. “After hosting a few meetings with community members and the DMV, it’s become clear to us that community mem-bers have very deep-rooted fears about being treated dif-ferently for having an AB 60 license and how their infor-

mation is going to be shared,” stated Priya Murthy, Policy and Organizing Program Di-rector with SIREN Bay Area.

“There shouldn’t be a shad-ow of a doubt that California’s program will meet commu-nity needs when it comes to document requirements and privacy and anti-discrim-ination protections,” add-ed Refugio Mata, Campaign Manager with Presente.org. “Let’s set the gold standard for the nation on driver’s licenses – it’s time to drive California forward on road safety.”

Finally, advocates encour-aged community members to submit comments on the DMV’s proposed regulations. “Make your voices heard – it’s time to drive California for-ward,” stated Luz Gallegos, Community Programs Di-rector for the Imperial Val-ley’s TODEC Legal Center.

Veronica T. AvendañoEL OBSERVADOR

Con aplicaciones dispo-nible este verano, San Jose será parte de la cadena de 26 escuelas de Cristo Rey. La escuela planea abrir este año 2014, y espera poder inscribir a 125 estudiantes en su año inaugural.

Las escuelas Cristo Rey sir-ven en 17 estados, dando a los estudiantes de bajos ingresos una educación preparatoria para la universidad católica. La escuela será patrocinada por la Provincia de Califor-nia de la Compañía de Jesús, dando a la escuela de su de-signación religiosa.

El presidente de la escuela Reverendo Peter Pabst, dijo que la escuela se enfoca en atender a los niños de ba-jos ingresos, “El ingreso de la familia tiene que caer por debajo del nivel de pobreza.” “Aquí en San José el nivel de pobreza se considera como un ingreso de 60,000 dólares para una familia de cuatro.”

El modelo de estudio del trabajo de Cristo Rey, co-menzó con una escuela de Chicago en 1996, donde en ese momento la zona tenía una tasa de graduación del 43 por ciento de las escuelas secundarias públicas. Des-de entonces, el modelo de la escuela cuenta con un 96

por ciento de cuatro años en la tasa de inscripción en la universidad después de gra-duarse.

Al momento de inscribirse los estudiantes de Cristo Rey, trabajarán en una posición de nivel de entrada en una de las 30 empresas que se han asociado con la escuela. En lugar de recibir un cheque de pago personalizado indivi-dual, los ingresos obtenidos de la posición de estudio del trabajo se destinará a los gas-tos de matrícula de los estu-diantes.

El modelo requiere cuatro estudiantes para dividir una posición a tiempo completo de 40 horas. Los estudiantes serán responsables por traer unos 7,500 dólares de los ingresos por matrícula a tra-vés de su colocación estudio del trabajo. Los estudiantes tendrán la opción de trabajar en varios campos a través de empresas como Valley Medi-cal, Cisco y HP.

“Las empresas, proporcio-nan el trabajo, proporcionan la supervisión. Además de que pagan 29,000 dólares para los estudiantes que trabajarán allí “, dijo Pabst. “Ellos tienen una posición de nivel de entrada que las empresas puedan tener una gran cantidad de volúmen de negocios, esto les da estabili-dad”.

Los padres serán responsa-bles de pagar la porción re-manente del matrícula. Los pagos se configuran median-te una escala móvil, donde los padres pueden pagar en cualquier lugar de un año de mil dólares a diez dólares al mes, dependiendo del nivel de ingresos.

Aparte del estudio del tra-bajo, Cristo Rey implemen-tará “blended learning” o “aprendizaje mixto,” que es un plan de aprendizaje indi-vidualizado para cada estu-diante”, dijo Pabst. Los estu-diantes pasarán una parte de su día escolar en una salón tradicional, mientras que la otra parte del día se dedicará a programas de aprendizaje en línea. Pabst dijo que esto permite el monitoreo y la evaluación de la educación más cerca a diario.

“Estoy muy contento de que 125 estudiantes serán pre-parados para la universidad, para que puedan ir y termi-nar su educación académica”, dijo Pabst. “Va a impactar al estudiante, la familia y la co-munidad, que van a volver con gran ética de trabajo, y dar vuelta a la comunidad de donde vinieron”.

El campus se encuentra en East Santa Clara St. y la Highway 101 en los Antigua ubicación de la Escuela Cinco Llagas.

(STATEPOINT)

Long breaks from reading, writing and critical think-ing can be detrimental for students. That’s why savvy parents ensure that kids keep learning over summer. With the implementation of the Common Core and Sci-ence Technology Engineer-ing Math (STEM) Standards, bridging the gap between school years is more impor-tant than ever.

But you don’t need to repli-cate a classroom to reap the benefits of summer studies. After all, it’s called “vacation” for a reason. Here are few fun ways to keep kids’ brains on high alert all season:

Make Math FunThe more interactive and

hands-on you can make math, the more engaged kids will be. So avoid drilling them with stale worksheets.

Play a board game like “Mo-nopoly,” and bestow the role of “banker” on your child. Or, let them handle the real thing on outings by letting them pay the ice cream vendor and the grocer. You can even consider capitalizing on the summer weather with a lemonade

stand -- it’s a great first small business experience.

Supplement these experi-ences with tools that go be-yond a standard workbook. For example, a new book, “Amazing Visual Math,” cov-ers the essential math con-cepts learned in the first years of school using interactive elements, including pop-ups, flaps and pull-tab elements. Designed to develop manual dexterity and sharpen visual skills, tools like this can make a tedious subject entertaining.

Foster their InterestsThe school year can be hectic

and isn’t necessarily an ideal time for a child to take on new hobbies. Summer however, is the perfect time of year to encourage kids to explore new interests through thematic summer camps, community classes and sports teams.

You can also nurture inter-ests through non-fiction lit-erature. Check out the “Eye-witness Books” series from DK Publishing with titles that cover a broad range of topics like “World War I,” “Rocks & Minerals” and “Wonders of the World.” Newly updated this year and now available in paperback, they can help bridge the gap between last

school year and the next.

Get InformedThe implementation of

new education policies and standards can be difficult on students, but you can help smooth the transition and prepare your child for the coming school year by learn-ing more about it. Visit www.us.dk.com/education for Common Core and STEM information for all grade lev-els, activity sheets and book recommendations on all top-ics that support classroom learning.

Friendly CompetitionStart a family competition to

see who reads the most books this summer. Post the results on the fridge so everyone can see.

Road Trip FunMake summer road trips

a bit less of a bore by stock-ing the car with fun games and activities. The Ultimate Factivity Collection series in-cludes doodle and coloring pages, puzzles, crafts, stickers, facts and activities that en-courage learning. With titles like “Animals,” “Fashion,” “Star Wars” and “LEGO Leg-ends of Chima,” kids won’t suspect they’re learning.

school year, find activities that strike the

perfect balance between

learning and fun. Photo: (c)

Jason AldermanPRACTICAL MONEY

He aquí una buena noticia envuelta en una mala: En medio del dolor por la pérdi-da de un ser querido, se ente-ra de que ha sido nombrado beneficiario del plan 401(k) del fallecido. Seguramente tendrá demasiadas cosas en la cabeza como para tomar decisiones rápidas sobre qué hacer con el dinero.

Pero no se deje estar. El IRS aplica reglas, plazos y pena-lidades severas con respecto a las cuentas de retiro here-dadas, que varían según el tipo de cuenta de que se trate. Esta columna trata sobre la herencia de planes 401(k) y otros planes similares provis-tos por el empleador.

De acuerdo con la ley federal, los cónyuges sobrevivientes heredan automáticamente los planes 401(k) de sus cón-yuges a menos que se haya nombrado a otra persona como beneficiaria y el cónyu-ge sobreviviente haya renun-ciado al plan por escrito. Si la persona fallecida era soltera al momento de su muerte, los fondos de su plan pasan al beneficiario designado.

El IRS aplica reglas básicas con respecto a los impuestos, la distribución y los plazos de los planes 401(k). No obstan-te, los planes tienen la opción de fijar pautas más restricti-vas, por lo que se recomienda leer detenidamente los docu-mentos del plan en cuestión. Básicamente:

Debe pagar el impuesto a las ganancias sobre las distribu-ciones (salvo por las cuentas Roth, que ya han sido grava-

das), aunque podría extender los retiros y el pago de los im-puestos a lo largo de una can-tidad de años, dependiendo de cómo lo estructure.

Muchos planes 401(k) exigen a los beneficiarios que retiren el dinero ya sea en su tota-lidad o en diferentes pagos durante, como máximo, los cinco años posteriores al fa-llecimiento de la persona; sin embargo, otros le permiten conservar el dinero en el plan por tiempo indefinido. Por eso es conveniente verificar sus reglas.

Debe saber que las distri-buciones se agregarán a sus ingresos imponibles del año, lo que puede aumentar signi-ficativamente sus impuestos. Por eso, mucha gente prefie-re extender los pagos lo más posible. Además, cuanto más tiempo permanezcan los fon-dos en la cuenta, más ingre-sos se acumularán, libres de impuestos.

Si el titular original de la cuenta ya había alcanzado la edad máxima para el retiro, que es 70 años y medio, usted podría continuar retirando fondos de acuerdo al crono-grama de retiros que tenía el titular. El monto mínimo que puede retirar por mes depen-derá de su propia expectativa de vida, según las tablas del IRS (ver el Apéndice C de la Publicación 590 del IRS en www.irs.gov). Alternativa-mente, podría acelerar el cro-nograma de pagos o retirar todo junto.

También podría transferir su saldo a una cuenta “IRA heredada”, que debe ser una cuenta diferente de sus de-más cuentas IRA. Con una

cuenta IRA heredada, usted debe retirar una determi-nada cantidad por año, en base a su expectativa de vida. Las distribuciones deben co-menzar al año siguiente del fallecimiento del donante, independientemente de que usted esté o no retirado.

Asegúrese de que el fiducia-rio del plan 401(k) transfiera los fondos directamente al fi-duciario de la cuenta IRA he-redada para que usted nunca toque el dinero; de lo contra-rio, la transferencia podría anularse y usted tendría que pagar impuestos por la tota-lidad de la suma ese año.

Los cónyuges sobrevivientes tienen otra opción más: en lugar de abrir una cuenta IRA heredada, también pue-den hacer una “transferen-cia conyugal”, que significa transferir el saldo a una cuen-ta IRA nueva o que ya ten-gan a su propio nombre. La principal ventaja de la trans-ferencia conyugal es que no hay obligación de comenzar a hacer retiros hasta los 70 años y medio, a diferencia de las cuentas IRA heredadas, en las que se deben comenzar a hacerlos al año siguiente del fallecimiento del donante.

Una última cosa: retire siem-pre, por lo menos, la distri-bución mínima obligatoria (DMO) por año, si es que hay un monto mínimo especifi-cado. De lo contrario, pagará una penalidad equivalente al 50 por ciento de la diferencia entre la DMO y lo que retiró realmente.

En resumen: Hable con un experto financiero o legal an-tes de tomar una medida con respecto a su herencia.

Many Americans trying to get their financial lives back on track could benefit from five tips for building a bright-er financial future.

1. Save for emergencies. When asked if they would be able to come up with $2,000 if an unexpected need arose in the next month, nearly two in five (39 percent) of Americans surveyed said they probably or certainly could not. The best way to avoid this is to build up rainy-day savings in a feder-ally insured savings account. If you can set aside $40 every week, then by this time next year, you will have saved over $2,000.

2. Don’t chase yield. With low yields on fixed-income investments and an economy on the mend, investors have been facing a difficult invest-ing environment. Some in-vestors have been chasing re-turn, meaning they put their assets into riskier products that promise higher yields than they can get in more traditional investments. Investors should realize that they could be taking on more

risk if they invest in products with higher returns.

3. Take advantage of tax breaks when saving for col-lege and retirement. If you have children, try to save for college using tax-advantaged savings accounts like a 529 plan or Coverdell Education Savings Account. The FINRA Investor Education Foundation’s recent National Financial Capability Study showed that only 34 percent of respondents with finan-cially dependent children are setting aside money for their children’s college education. Only 54 percent of nonre-

tired respondents have some kind of retirement account. If you’re working, consider using tax-advantaged sav-ings accounts like a 401(k) to boost your retirement secu-rity.

4. Reduce your debt. More than two out of five Americans (42 percent) sur-veyed felt they have too much debt, regardless of income. The best way to avoid an end-less cycle of credit card debt is to try to pay your credit cards in full and on time. If you have credit card debt, pay it off as quickly as possible. If you’re unable to pay your whole bill, pay more than the minimum due, which will re-duce the amount of interest you’ll pay.

5. Check your credit re-port and score. You need to do both. Only 42 percent of survey respondents said they obtained a copy of their credit report and only 41 percent checked their credit score within the 12 months preceding the survey. With credit hard to get and iden-tity theft a continuing prob-lem, it’s critical to see whether your credit history is accurate and correct any mistakes im-mediately.

AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION

With summer here, most teens will be pushing to have the freedom to stay out later. That issue can lead to major disagreements, but there are ways to eliminate the conflict and get yourself more sleep at the same time. And all it takes is an alarm clock and a few simple agreed-upon rules.

Teens’ desire for more re-sponsibility and freedom is a natural part of the maturing process. So start by allowing your teen the responsibility of deciding a reasonable time to be back home. You can set an outside limit, one based on your teen’s age and proven record of responsibility.

Next come the rules. Make it clear that exceptions to cur-few times need to be cleared with you first. Special late events, or places requiring extra travel, do occur. In such cases, that extra time request requires details about what’s happening, where it is, who’s involved, who’s driving, a phone number you can call and similar information.

You and your teen must also decide on the consequences for returning home after the curfew time. Your teen should realize that the time chosen represents a commitment and is a way of showing an

adult level of responsibility. Violating that commitment should carry consequences that mean something.

Another rule is that only se-rious emergencies, ones re-quiring you to come to the rescue (an auto breakdown, an intoxicated driver), are acceptable curfew-breaking excuses. A call reporting losing track of time or just forgetting isn’t acceptable. If your teenager has set an 11:30 curfew time, an 11:31 return is too late and the con-sequences should kick in.

And that alarm clock? That’s so you can get a decent night’s sleep. Set it to the time your teen said he or she would be home. Then put it outside your bedroom door and go to bed without worrying. When your teen comes home before the curfew time, he or she shuts off the alarm and you just continue sleeping.

But if it’s a late return, that alarm goes off. That ends any arguments about what time your teenager “really” re-turned. It’s a late return and agreed-upon consequences happen. Don’t make a big deal of it, and give your teen another chance, using the same rules, to improve upon his or her curfew perfor-mance.

You’ll soon find that curfews without arguing really can work.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

This week Santa Clara County was named as one of the healthiest counties for kids in the United States in US News. The paper’s ran-king, America’s 50 Healthiest Counties for Kids, represents a national, county-level as-sessment of how health and environmental factors affect the well-being of children younger than 18. It highlights counties that have fewer in-fant deaths, fewer low birth weight babies, fewer deaths from injuries, fewer teen births, and fewer children in poverty.

The Centers for Medicare &

Medicaid Services launched

a national set of initiatives to improve prenatal care, and the Essential Hospitals Ins-titute identified successful strategies for reducing pre-mature birth in safety net settings. Prematurity is the leading cause of newborn death in the United States and brings severe health con-sequences for mothers and babies.

Santa Clara Valley Medi-

cal Center’s was recognized in the Essential Hospitals Institute report as a leader of innovation in prenatal care that results in healthier mothers and babies. Exam-ples of the outstanding care for women and children pro-vided at SCVMC include:

·Innovative and effective

strategies help to overcome complex prenatal care cha-llenges, resulting in better care, lower costs, and impro-ved population health. Than national report specifically mentioned SCVMC ’s ro-bust prenatal genetic testing and counseling department. Proactive disease manage-ment begins early with fami-lies who have babies at risk for complex diseases. (text box on page 6 of attached)

·SCVMC and the County of Santa Clara are recogni-zed for Committed Leader-ship, Effective Operations, Continuous Learning and Improvement, and Patient, Family, and Community En-gagement. As an example, SCVMC was one of the first hospitals in the nation to

provide universal screening for congenital heart disease within 24 hours after birth using newborn oxygen levels. Testing and follow-up ser-vices of the newborn scree-ning program is designed to provide early diagnosis and treatment before significant, irreversible damage occurs.

As an essential hospital,

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center fills a safety net role in the community and provides excellent care to the residents of this community, including the youngest among us. The prenatal care and care of newborn infants at SCVMC contributes to Santa Clara County being named one of the healthiest counties for kids.

UnitedHealthcare ha ofre-cido del 24 al 26 de junio seminarios educativos y de-mostraciones culinarias en las californianas áreas de Santa Clara y Contra Costa. El objetivo ha sido ayudar a personas de la tercera edad hispanoamericanas y a otros beneficiarios estadouniden-ses de origen hispano a infor-marse más sobre Medicare y

sus opciones de cobertura de cuidado de la salud.

“Nuestra misión es ayudar a los adultos mayores y a otros beneficiarios de Medicare a vivir más saludablemen-te y con mayor protección”, ha comentado el portavoz de UnitedHealthcare, René Ibarra.

Los participantes han aprendido los conceptos

básicos de Medicare, inclui-das las diferentes partes del programa, los requisitos de elegibilidad y los plazos de inscripción. De esta forma podrán tomar decisiones so-bre la cobertura de cuidado de su salud con la informa-ción necesaria.

Una de las asistentes al evento, Fanny Rodriguez, ha asegurado que sus amigas le recomendaron que acudie-

se a los seminarios porque acaba de cumplir 65 años y ya puede entrar en el pro-grama. “El seminario me re-sultó muy útil para entender mejor las opciones que tengo disponibles en cuanto a Me-dicare”, ha expresado esta mujer de Daly City, en San Mateo County.

Después de los seminarios, los integrantes han partici-pado en una demostración culinaria con la chef Alexa Mata, quien les ha enseñado a preparar un postre latino tradicional como es el arroz con leche, pero de una ma-nera más saludable que la habitual.

Las demostraciones culi-narias y los seminarios gra-tuitos se han realizado en español para asegurar que los beneficiarios de Medicare hispanoparlantes pudieran aprender del modo en que les resulta más cómodo.

Las jornadas, celebradas del 24

al 25 de junio, incluyeron una

demostración gas-tronómica con la chef Alexa Mata

Hace un año, la Corte Supre-ma de EE.UU. invalidó la Ley de Defensa del Matrimonio (DOMA por sus siglas en in-glés), que defi ne el matrimo-nio como una relación entre un hombre y una mujer. En esa misma semana, el Noveno Circuito levantó la suspensión de la sentencia del tribunal de distrito, lo que permitió que los matrimonios entre perso-nas del mismo sexo se reanu-dara en California.

“Bueno, no mentiré, lloré bastante en el trabajo cuando pasó”, dijo Michelle Cornejo, partidaria del matrimonio entre parejas del mismo sexo. “Encuentro consuelo sabien-do que si algo llegara a suce-derme a mí, que mi pareja, quién me conocerá mejor que mis propios padres, podía ha-cer un juicio en mi nombre.”

La desaparición de la DOMA marca un punto de infl exión en la forma en que el gobier-no de Estados Unidos trata a las relaciones de parejas del mismo sexo casadas, inclu-

yendo programas como el se-guro de salud y benefi cios de jubilación, la presentación de impuestos en forma conjunta, siendo capaces de patrocinar su pareja para residencia en EE.UU., y recibiendo benefi -cios del seguro social.

“Ya no soy un ciudadano de segunda clase”, dijo Erica Ló-pez, benefi ciara de la anula-ción de la proposición 8. “Por fi n tengo la oportunidad de morir en paz sabiendo que María va a estar bien.”

López conoció a su esposa a través de un amigo mutuo. Al principio sólo tomarían un café, un mes después de haber comenzado a salir. Tres meses más tarde fue aceptada en un programa de radiología, pero en Los Ángeles. La distancia fue un poco dura para ellas, pero se las arreglaron para ha-cer que la relación funcionara. López volvió al Área de la Ba-hía después de dos años.

“Un año después de vivir acá, le pregunté a su hermana por su bendición, sus padres fa-llecieron, entonces le propuse matrimonio”, dijo López.

Parejas del mismo sexo ahora pueden casarse en 20 estados y el Distrito de Columbia, con Indiana y Utah los últimos en unirse a la lista. Los otros son: Massachusetts, Califor-nia, Connecticut, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Nue-va York, Maine, Maryland, Washington, Delaware, Ha-wái, Minnesota, Nueva Jersey, Rhode Island, New México, Illinois y Pensilvania.

Ha pasado una década desde que Massachusetts legalizó el primer matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo. Recientemente, un tribunal federal de apelaciones dicta-minó que la prohibición de Utah es inconstitucional, pero los jueces sostuvieron la sen-tencia en suspenso por lo que podría ser apelada. Mientras tanto, los 12 tribunales esta-tales y federales de apelación están revisando resoluciones a favor del matrimonio gay que han surgido en el último año.

“Le di un anillo, porque la amo y ella es la persona adecuada para mí”, dijo López. “Respeta mi familia y nos equilibramos entre sí. Ella es dispersa, yo

soy organizada; soy terca, y ella es paciente. Soy chistosa y ella es más chistosa.”

Aunque López ya está en una unión civil, está planeando casarse en San Francisco, ahora que la Proposición 8 fue declarada inconstitucio-nal. Ella sabe que lo necesi-taría en caso de que una de ellas muera y le gustaría evi-tar cualquier problema. Su familia no habla realmente acerca de ser gay, pero el re-conocimiento es más impor-tante para ella que cualquier otra cosa. “Siento que es una lucha que todavía estamos

batallando a pesar de que sucedió”, dijo Cornejo. “El día que la palabra gay se eli-mine de “matrimonio gay “a sólo matrimonio, será el día en que ganaremos la guerra y lograremos la legalización del matrimonio para todos.”

Todavía hay mucho trabajo por delante antes de que las parejas del mismo sexo que viven en todo el país, puedan disfrutar todos la misma pro-tección que sus contrapartes de sexo heterosexual. Algu-nas personas todavía están siendo perjudicadas por ser quiénes son y por amar a

los que aman. Actualmente no existe ninguna ley federal que prohíba explícitamente la discriminación laboral en base a la orientación sexual o identidad de género.

“Mucha gente realmente no lo desea y va a transcurrir un largo periodo de tiempo antes de que tengamos una verdadera igualdad y la vi-sibilidad en el mundo”, dijo Gilbert Ramírez, partidario del matrimonio entre parejas del mismo sexo. “La visibili-dad sin los estereotipos, sino como personas reales y no una novedad”.

La Virgen del Perpetuo Soco-rro es una de las advocaciones más aclamadas de la Virgen María en Europa y en Améri-ca Latina, su fecha de conme-moración es el 27 de junio. En inglés es conocida como “Our Lady of Perpetual Help”. A ella se le atribuyen millares de mi-lagros en casos de enfermeda-des, problemas legales y asun-tos que parecen difíciles de resolver. La divina presencia de la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro es aclamada por millones y sus historias están llenas de apari-ciones y hazañas milagrosas.

Se relata que en los albores del siglo xV, un mercader de la isla de Creta, poseía una hermosa pintura de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro. El mercader era conocido como un hombre muy piadoso y devoto de la Santísima Virgen. En aquellos tiempos, una gran cantidad de imágenes de la Virgen se ha-bían extraviado y otros habían sido presas de la destrucción y el deterioro. El mercader esta-ba resuelto a impedir que su cuadro de la Virgen se destru-yera como había ocurrido con muchos otros.

Por proteger tan divino teso-ro, el mercader decidió llevar la pintura a Italia, abordó un

navío y se dirigió a Roma. En la ruta se desató una gran tempestad marina y todos a bordo esperaban lo peor. El mercader tomó el cuadro de Nuestra Señora, lo sostuvo en lo alto, y pidió socorro y todos junto a la embarcación se sal-varon del naufragio. La devo-ción a la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro es mundial. En el año 1833 una terrible epidemia de viruela azotaba Haití. Los de-votos acudieron a la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro y le hicieron una novena. La epidemia cesó milagrosamente y se decidió nombrarla patrona del país en ese mismo año.

Peticiones: Se le pide cuando se atraviesa por grandes angus-tias, problemas que no parecen tener solución y cuando se está en grave peligro. Para pedirle su milagrosa asistencia se le

ofrenda una vela azul durante 27 días consecutivos, se reza su oración durante el mismo periodo, si el milagro es pedido con fe, éste es concedido antes que fi nalicen los 27 días.

Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro

Divina Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro, acoge a tus fi eles y concédenos todos los favores y peticiones que te hacemos este día.Alivia nuestras penas, dale calma a nuestro espíritu y libéranosprontamente de la angustia y el pesar.Tú que eres Santa y misericordiosa, ruega por nosotros anteel trono de Dios, ilumina nuestro camino con la bienaventurada luz de tus ojos piadosos y llévanos a su presencia arropados con el esplendor de tu divino manto. Amén.

La temporada de verano puede ser ideal para que usted se divierta, haga ejercicio o ca-mine junto a su mascota.Para disfrutar de actividades al aire libre con su mascota, prime-ro considere tomar algunas medidas de precaución que la protejan durante esos días de calor:

Bajo el sol. El sol puede afec-tar a su mascota, sobre todo si tiene pelo corto, piel blanca o rosada. Antes de salir aplíque-le un protector solar especial para mascotas en las orejas y la nariz. Consulte con su ve-terinario sobre los protectores solares.

Ante el calor extremo. Las al-tas temperaturas pueden per-judicar la salud de su mascota. Realicen actividades al aire libre en la mañana o al fi nal de la tarde, cuando suele hacer menos calor. Asegúrese que su mascota beba sufi ciente agua. Tenga especial cuidado con los cachorros y animales de edad avanzada, ya que pueden des-

hidratarse más fácilmente.En el agua. Vigile siempre a

su mascota cuando esté en el agua. Por ejemplo, tenga en cuenta que aunque muchos perros suelen ser buenos na-dadores, una corriente fuerte los puede arrastrar en el mar, el río u otro canal de agua. Si su mascota está en una pis-cina, asegúrese que tenga un lugar por donde salir, como unos escalones o una rampa. Para mayor seguridad puede colocarle un chaleco salvavi-das.

Contra los insectos. Las ga-rrapatas, pulgas y otros insec-tos abundan en climas cálidos y pueden transmitir enfer-medades. Bañe a su mascota con más frecuencia durante el verano utilizando un champú anti pulgas. Hable con su vete-rinario para que le recomien-

de otros tratamientos contra insectos.

Al viajar en auto. Coloque a su mascota dentro de una jau-la especial o amárrela al cintu-rón de seguridad con un arnés o pechera, de preferencia de plástico para evitar lesiones causadas por el metal calien-te. No deje a su mascota sola dentro del auto cuando hace calor, incluso con las ventani-llas abajo y en la sombra, ya que las temperaturas elevadas le podrían causar un golpe de calor.

Si observa que su mascota tiene jadeo constante, la len-gua roja, vómitos, diarrea o la temperatura corporal elevada, llévela inmediatamente al ve-terinario. Podría tener insola-ción o estar sufriendo de calor extremo.

Google has been making news in recent months for its work in a ground-breaking area: driverless automobile technology.

A prototype of Google’s new self-driving car -- a two-pas-senger electric vehicle with buttons to turn the vehicle on and off, but no steering wheel, accelerator pedal or brake pedal -- was unveiled in May. Without a driver at the wheel, the car is instead guided by a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) rotating sensor on the vehicle’s roof that scan the vehicle’s surroundings to deter-mine its driving route as well as to identify such obstacles as pe-destrians, bicyclists and other cars.

While Google is widely con-sidered a front-runner in the

development of such advanced automation technology, the major automakers are also getting into the race. Albeit at a more conservative pace, they’re introducing automated features that perform specifi c tasks -- such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warn-ing and collision-avoidance braking -- to their new car models.

According to a recent report by Lux Research, cars with these so-called “Level 2” fea-tures are expected to account for 92 percent of a worldwide $87 billion-per-year autono-mous car market by 2030. Only 8 percent of the market will go to “Level 3” cars, which would be primarily driven au-tonomously, but would allow drivers to regain control of the vehicle in an emergency.

In addition, the research fi rm doesn’t expect any fully au-

tomated vehicles on the road by 2030. “We consider that ultimate level, Level 4, to be full autonomy, where you just get in and you don’t interact with the car at all,” explained Cosmin Laslau, lead analyst at Lux Research. “And we don’t think that’s coming by 2030. The biggest opportunity that we see will be actually from the Level 2 features, which are the more conventional advances that we’re already starting to see come onto the market from higher-end developers.”

Winner is scheduled to ad-dress the challenges facing the development of the driverless car during the panel session “IT Meets the Automobile: Interactive Advanced Vehicle Technologies and Self-Driving Cars” at the ASME Advanced Design and Manufacturing Impact Forum in Buffalo, New York.

Colorado-based sustain-ability think-tank Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) was founded in 1982 by American physicist and environmentalist, Amory Lovins, to research and pro-mote market-based solutions to our energy crisis with-out breaking the bank. The group is focusing efforts on transforming domestic and eventually global energy use to create a clean, prosperous and secure energy future by mid-century.

“We can eliminate our ad-diction to oil and coal by 2050 and use one-third less natural gas while switching to effi cient use and renew-able supply,” says Lovins, adding that doing so could actually cost less and sup-port a more robust economy than continuing with busi-ness-as-usual: “Moreover, this transition needs no new inventions, and no acts of Congress, and no new federal taxes, mandate subsidies or laws…”

To get there, Lovins ac-knowledges that we have to start thinking differ-ently now. RMI is advocat-ing cutting U.S. electricity consumption by 18 percent over the next 10 years while

almost doubling renewable energy’s share of generation from 16 to 30 percent.

Few would argue with the cost savings and environ-mental benefi ts of such a plan—implementation is the challenge. According to Lovins, we already have the technologies to help foster a rapid evolution of our elec-tricity system, but we still need the political and institu-tional will to make it happen. RMI has begun a dialogue with utilities and other enti-ties to align incentives, and create more opportunities for electricity users to contribute clean power to the grid them-selves, through technologies like rooftop solar power.

One key feature of RMI’s plan are rate structures that refl ect the true benefi ts and costs of moving to more dis-tributed (small scale/decen-tralized) energy resources. The group is working with utilities to launch six “Elec-tricity Innovation Labs” na-tionally, as well as a “Solar Development Excellence Center” to highlight the fea-sibility of distributed renew-ables. RMI also wants to simplify commercial photo-voltaic fi nancing, incorporate renewables into real estate fi -nance and make solar fi nanc-ing affordable to underserved markets.RMI also wants to make large buildings much

more energy effi cient, and aims to make a billion square feet of commercial space 35 percent more effi cient by 2025 through so-called “deep energy” retrofi ts, in-cluding the adoption of more renewables. RMI is target-ing four of the largest, most infl uential segments of the buildings market—major companies, the General Ser-vices Administration, the De-partment of Defense and “ac-tivist” cities (those already on the green cutting edge)—for major energy retrofi ts, and is working to persuade private investors to consider overall impact and long-term costs, not just short term gains.

Another major part of RMI’s plan is to work with large metro regions with up-wards of 10 million residents, and with university campus-es, to make major effi ciency gains. Other keys to getting us off oil and coal by 2050 in-clude transforming how we design and use vehicles, and getting Fortune 500 corpora-tions to rejigger their energy supply chains to facilitate procurement of more re-newable energy. Beyond the U.S., RMI is working along similar lines with China and other large developing coun-tries to help them avoid some of the energy development missteps undertaken here at home.

The Colorado-based sus-tainability think-tank Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) be-lieves we already have the technologies to help foster a rapid evolution of our electrici-ty system, but we still need the political and institutional will to make it happen.

A selection of 72 stunning artworks drawn from the co-llections of the San Francis-co Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and the Asian Art Museum challenges visi-tors to confront the extremes and the ambiguities of beau-ty in the special exhibition Gorgeous. On view June 20 through Sept. 14, 2014, at the Asian Art Museum, the exhibition is organized in partnership with SFMOMA as part of SFMOMA’s On the Go program, an ambitious multiyear off-site program-ming effort presented while its building is closed for ex-pansion construction.

Featuring an extraordinary mix of objects, Gorgeous spans more than 2,200 years and dozens of cultures to bring together artworks that, in a variety of ways, ex-tend beyond conventional notions of beauty. Presenting these paintings, sculptures, photographs, design objects and drawings in new and unexpected contexts, the ex-hibition encourages viewers to examine their own ideas of what it means for something to be gorgeous by stimulating them to engage the objects in a personal way.

As a starting point, the cu-rators have suggested fluid groupings in which the art-works might be assembled. Those groupings are titled “Seduction,” “Dress Up,” “Pose,” “In Bounds,” “Dan-ger,” “Beyond Imperfection,” “Reiteration,” “Fantasy,” “Evocation” and “On Reflec-tion.” But many works could fit under more than one hea-ding, and the unexpected groupings on view represent just a few of the limitless pos-sibilities.

The objects in Gorgeous are not easily categorized, and embracing their resistance to classification is an essential part of the project. Rather than providing a contrast between “East” and “West” or focusing on centuries of scholarly debate concerning

beauty, the exhibition aims to engage visitors in an ongoing conversation about personal reactions to what makes so-mething not merely beautiful but gorgeous.

Many of the artworks push boundaries. They balance on the tipping point between the seductive and the repul-sive, the comforting and the disturbing, the earnest and the ironic, the serene and the obsessive. The depictions of people range from opulently adorned figures to frank por-trayals of the human form. The exhibition also encom-passes historical objects such as a silver elephant seat from India and a Chinese lacque-red imperial chair as well as contemporary objects, in-cluding the first-generation iPhone and a gold-plated coke spoon by Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid. Visitors will encounter works of fantastical elaboration and triumphs of conceptual ele-gance, serene sacred objects and luxury consumer goods. As part of the educational ex-perience, visitors can curate their own exhibition using reproductions of artworks in a tactile interactive display.

Highlights of the exhibition include paintings, sculptu-res and photographs from SFMOMA’s holdings by Mar-cel Duchamp, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, Joan Miró, Chris Ofili, Meret Oppen-

heim, Robert Mapplethorpe and others. From the Asian Art Museum, the exhibition features works spanning the extent of Asia, including a 1,000-year-old Indian sculp-ture of the Hindu deity Dur-ga victorious over the buffalo demon; a gilded and jeweled Burmese Buddhist bowl; a Korean textile artwork with complex geometric designs; a decorated Qur’an from 16th-century Persia; a set of silk scrolls by the artist Chobun-sai Eishi (1756–1829), “Three types of beauties in Edo;” and Hua Yan’s (1682–1756) gold-surfaced ink paintings “Summer gatherings in mountain villas,” along with other works in a variety of mediums.

Gorgeous is curated by Allison Harding, assistant curator of contemporary art at the Asian Art Museum, and Forrest McGill, Wattis senior curator of South and Southeast Asian art and director of the Asian Art Museum’s Research Institute for Asian Art, in association with Janet Bishop, curator of painting and sculpture at SF-MOMA, and Caitlin Haskell, assistant curator of painting and sculpture at SFMOMA.

The exhibition begins in Osher Gallery and continues in Hambrecht Gallery, Lee Gallery and Gallery 4, with sculptures activating North Court and Vinson Gallery.

La violinista mexicana Pauli-na Derbez presentó su disco ‘Altri Suoni’, acompañada por la pianista canadiense Barba-ra Croall.

Paulina Derbez es integrante de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Ontario desde el 2006; es autora del libro ?El músi-co consciente? y creadora de una moderna metodología para enseñar música.

La artista tiene una forma muy especial de tocar el violín, pues retomando sus experiencias de teatro mul-tidisciplinario en Suiza creó en Toronto su espectáculo ‘Shika, del silencio nace el sonido’, una obra para voz y violín, donde el músico no es sólo un ejecutante sino un personaje sonoro.

“Tengo una conexión muy fuerte con la parte italiana de Suiza. ‘Altri Suoni’ quiere decir ?otros sonidos? en ita-liano, porque lo que hacemos es unir la música clásica con la de vanguardia”, señaló.

La artista agregó que en este concierto combinaron las interpretaciones de piezas de Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Schubert y Amadeus Mozart con la música de vanguardia que incluye en su disco.

‘Es un espectáculo de músi-ca e imagen, pues también exhibimos las pinturas del artista italiano Emilio Giossi’, añadió.

Este fue el lanzamiento ofi-cial de su disco compacto en Canadá y en un futuro próxi-mo lo presentará en México, adelantó la violinista.

Paulina Derbez tuvo su pri-mer concierto fuera de Méxi-co en Japón a los 11 años de edad y después fue becada por el Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (Fonca) para continuar sus estudios en Suiza.

Se ha presentado en escena-rios de Italia, Francia, Ale-mania, Suiza y México y ha sido maestra de violín duran-te dos décadas, basada en su propio método de enseñanza.

La telenovela mexicana “Qué pobres tan ricos”, de la productora Rosy Ocampo, concluirá sus transmisiones este 29 de junio con un men-saje acerca del respeto y la tolerancia, informó su prota-gonista Jaime Camil.

Así como en el fi nal de “Por ella soy Eva”, que la misma productora presentó hace dos años y en la que el per-sonaje estelar, también inter-pretado por Camil, dirigió a la audiencia un mensaje de refl exión, esta vez adoptarán la misma dinámica.

“Todas las novelas de Rosy tienen un mensaje social maravilloso, que se refi ere a la importancia de no juzgar a nadie sin darle el benefi cio

de la duda”, comentó el actor a Notimex en entrevista.

En ese sentido, consideró que las barreras sociales no existirían en México ni en América Latina si las perso-nas se dieran el tiempo de conocerse y nunca estereoti-par a los demás por su apa-riencia.

“Eso fue lo que promovió ‘Qué pobres tan ricos’, un mensaje de tolerancia a todo tipo de creencias y a estilos de vidas. En el último capítulo habrá un monólogo similar al de ‘Por ella soy Eva’ en el que trataremos de sembrar un buen mensaje sobre esto”, destacó.

Jaime Camil agradeció el apoyo del público durante el periodo que la telenovela se mantuvo al aire, sobre todo

cuando en la calle o a través de las redes sociales le con-fi aban que la historia era un alivio tras un día difícil en sus actividades.

“Me decían que su vida era tan complicada, con tantas adversidades, deudas y pro-blemas que era increíble lle-gar a casa y saber que les es-tábamos regalando una hora a la semana donde se podían reír y en la que olvidaban sus confl ictos, lo cual fue muy bonito”, subrayó.

Admitió que en algunos momentos le llegaron a mo-lestar las críticas con respecto a la comedia que contenía la novela, “pero si esa gente que opinaba escuchara cómo la audiencia agradecía esa hora de felicidad y de son-risas, entenderían por qué me gusta tanto el género de

la comedia romántica”.Aun-que ha sido casual que Jaime Camil estelarice este tipo de propuestas televisivas, pues antes ha sobresalido en “La fea más bella” (2006) y “Los exitosos Pérez” (2009), por citar algunas, aseguró que le gusta participar en todo tipo de proyectos.

“Me siento cómodo en la comedia romántica, pero eso no quiere decir que descarte los demás, soy feliz trabajan-do como actor, sin importar el género”.

Adelantó que para el fi nal de “Qué pobres tan ricos” el público será testigo del casti-go que el personaje de Mark Tacher recibirá por sus villa-nías, mientras que su papel “Miguel Ángel” y el de “Lupi-ta” (Zuria Vega) serán felices.

La trayectoria del emblemático luchador mexicano El Santo será analizada durante la plática “30 años sin El Santo y a 80 de su debut”, que se llevará a cabo en el Centro de Creación Literaria “xavier Villaurrutia”, el próximo 26 de junio.

El poeta Daniel Téllez, el historiador Michael Ramos-Araizaga y el psicólogo Dán Lee resaltarán la fi gura del luchador pro-fesional, quien ha sido el héroe mexicano por excelencia que entre el rito y el mito, se convirtió en uno de los grandes em-blemas de la producción cultural mexicana.

“El Santo es un héroe de carne y hueso, como dictan los cáno-nes populares. Su espacio vital lo constituye la cultura de un público dispuesto al intercambio y apropiación de la fi gura mítica.

“En la frágil frontera entre realidad y fantasía, la fi gura de El Santo cede y se recrea bajo las condiciones que sólo nuestra cultura posibilita”, destacó Daniel Téllez, mediante un comu-nicado de prensa.

Asimismo, el poeta comentó que es importante la recreación de la fi gura de El Santo, ya que tiene diferentes matices que abarcan lo político, lo estético y lo económico.

La charla podrá ser presenciada por el público en el Centro de Creación Literaria “xavier Villaurrutia”, este jueves en punto de las 19:00 horas.

El tenista español David Ferrer, destacó este miércoles que no esperaba salir en la segunda ronda del Abierto de Wimble-don, al caer ante el ruso Andrey Kuznetsov.

En declaraciones a los medios de comunicación, el número siete del mundo afi rmó que los problemas estomacales que su-frió la semana previa al torneo londinense, no fueron la causa de su salida.

“No ha afectado en nada, cero… hubiera perdido igual estan-do al cien por cien…hoy no hice un mal tenis, simplemente Kuznetsov lo hizo muy bien”, afi rmó el séptimo tenista de la ATP.

Ferrer manifestó su sorpresa de caer ante el 118 del mundo por parciales de (6-7 (5), 6-0, 3-6, 6-3 y 6-2), y aseguró que su rival “ha llevado el ritmo todo el rato, estaba con mucha con-fi anza”.
