Hilbert Morales eL oBSeRvaDoR

During 1956, at Purdue University, i studied an elec-tive course’ electronic instru-mentation” which turned out to be quite useful during my career. Yesterday, i read ‘the Kiplinger Letter’, “Forecasts for executives and investors”, July 11, 2014. its focus was on ‘the next big phase in comput-erization’. i crafted this sum-mary in the hopes that the local low-income community would react to its counsel in preparation for ‘jobs in the future’. i have learned during my life that “Good fortunes favor those who are prepared to go through the door of op-portunity.” one needs to be responsive and productive when opportunity comes your way. the fi rst step is to know enough to ‘see’ oppor-tunity. if one is not ready, that door slams shut.

today, high tech industry needs coders now. During the next fi ve years computer networks will expand with opportunities right here in Silicon valley. if you want to have an advantage, begin to prepare now. i would want Hispanic youth to not only know how to code, but also to know and use the knowledge involved in computer science (cybernetics). Do not wait for a local training program to become available. Use the free on-line Khan academy to begin to learn its terminol-ogy and scientifi c basis. once you learn its vocabulary, your knowledge will transform into understanding.

today there are one billion devices which are connected to each other with micro-computers. By 2020 (5 years) this will increase to 26 billion. this transition will require

skilled individuals with tech-nical know-how. this chal-lenging work will require trained brain-power to be ready to ‘work smart’ rather than ‘working hard’. Women could have an upper hand because they tend to commu-nicate and collaborate. Men tend to compete and play the ‘King of the Hill’ games. today much more gets done by teams working together and communicating with each other. But understand, that insight and understand-ing of natural phenomenon happens in the individual’s brain....not in the group. and if that insight can be commu-nicated in a manner that oth-ers understand, that is when creativity and innovation happen. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, David Packard and William Hewlett all had that trait.

temperature sensors, mi-cro-video cams, Wi-Fi net-works, microchip computers can constantly monitor a process or machine. Friction creates heat, so a temperature sensor tells the microchip to communicates what needs to be done or checked out. You already have experienced that when the ‘panel light’ in your car tells you “need Ser-vice”. now think of factories wherein all equipment is con-nected. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HvaC) may be monitored and con-stantly adjusted to maintain effi cient operations at any given time of the day at lowest operating cost. Motion detec-tors turn on lights or activate cameras (security systems). What makes this possible is the current very low cost of essential components: mo-tion detectors, micro-video cameras, Wi-Fi network, plus ‘customized apps’. What is needed soon in this fi eld are skilled informed workers who not only know the ba-sics, but also are prepared to be the planners, managers, executives, and investors.

the local and global eco-nomic impact is tremendous. it will enable sustainable

environmental systems. By 2025, a worldwide system of connectivity will do many things such as prevent equip-ment failures; increase effi -ciency in real time; monitor and track production opera-tions; reduce downtime; in-crease quality controls and effi cient use of energy.

in health care, it will fa-cilitate electronic medical records; constantly moni-tor elderly and chronically ill patients; send medical service alerts; track use of drugs or therapy; manage care along with total nutri-tion consumed. all rehabili-tation training and behavior modifi cation progress can be tracked.

now, using ankle bracelets to monitor the activity and location of a convicted indi-vidual, that person may be allowed to serve his sentence at home while performing assigned community work, be able to keep a job, stay in relationship with family, neighbors, and society. the social cost of imprisonment will be mitigated through rehabilitation and behavior modifi cation. the convicted individual is not exposed to prison environments where he/she can learn to be a bet-ter criminal. Recidivism will be greatly reduced. exist-ing prison incarceration will be devoted to those who are truly a danger to themselves and society.

anyone can begin to pre-pare for inclusion in this fu-ture computerized network-ing fi eld. What is required is doing the ‘informed critical thinking’ to create the de-sired computerized network system. Many today have al-ready experienced ‘internet connectivity’ through their ‘smart phones’. now is the time to learn enough, and to understand enough, to be included in this coming wave of economic opportunity. Just commit yourself now to pre-pare for your future opportu-nity.

the transition to college is an exciting time, full of antic-ipation for the next chapter of life. But with new oppor-tunities come uncertainties, from financing an education to picking the right courses.

“Paying for college and hav-ing kids leave the house is new territory for most par-ents and children. But with research and preparation, parents can help kids learn how to maximize available funds, borrow responsibly and manage their new lives,” says Jodi okun, founder of College Financial aid advi-sors and brand ambassador for Discover Student Loans. “Parents should encourage kids to take responsibility for forming a long-term fi-nancial plan they can work through together.”

Okun offers the following tips for a smooth transition:

• empower students: Let students start with smaller decisions, such as what to do with high school gradua-tion money, and then build to bigger ones, such as finding and applying for additional scholarships, and deciding

whether they can balance school with work-study or a part-time job. encourage students to form meaning-ful relationships with their school’s financial aid office.

• Balance dreams with op-portunities. While students often pick a major based on childhood passions, parents may steer them toward an in-demand field with a good salary and career trajectory. in fact, 70 percent of parents say job potential after college is as important or more im-portant than choice of major, according to a recent Dis-cover Student Loans survey. Starting salary should also guide how much debt the student takes on. For exam-ple, if a student anticipates a $40,000 a year starting salary, he or she should take on no more than $40,000 in student loans over the course of college.

• Figure out the parents’ role. the majority of student loans are for students, but there are loans specifically for parents (e.g., Parent PLUS Loans and some private stu-dent loans). Consider the advantages of each and de-cide whether parent student loans, traditional student loans or a combination is best. Regardless of what’s de-

cided, parents should discuss options and expectations with their child.

• exhaust free money first. Grants, scholarships and other free financial aid can help students pay for costs. Resources such as Discover’s Free Scholarship Search and Studentaid.ed.gov can help students and parents identify and apply for important free money.

• Choose the right student loan. With so many choices for loans, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Families should compare federal and private student loans based on key com-ponents, such as interest rates, origination fees and repayment options and then choose the loans that best fit their financial needs.

• Seek consultation. Financ-ing college can be an over-whelming and confusing process. Consider talking to a financial planner who can offer sound advice.

as college costs rise, un-derstanding the financial re-sources available, as well as having conversations about who is responsible for what, will ultimately provide peace of mind for students and par-ents.

MEXICO CITY Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed an agree-ment with the Mexican Ministries of Public Edu-cation and Foreign Affairs and the National Council for Science and Tech-nology to forge greater ties between institutions of higher education in California and Mexico, with particular empha-sis on online learning. “The ties between Cali-fornia and Mexico be-gan before the Declara-tion of Independence and today we take one more step by bringing our institutions of higher learning closer together,” said Governor Brown. The scope of the agree-ment includes cross-

border online learning, student and teacher ex-changes, joint research and scholarly endeavors. Specifically, the agree-ment will enhance coop-eration through a range of activities, including:•An exchange of students and teachers; •Implementation of joint research and scholarly ac-tivities; •Organization of confer-ences and seminars; •Exchange of academic materials and other infor-mation; •Short-term stays for stu-dents and teachers; •Teacher training cours-es for English language teachers;

Fellowship programs for students (undergraduates and graduates), teachers, academics and research-ers; and

Online programs.In order to further these objectives, a new Cal-ifornia-Mexico Higher Education Working Group held its first meeting yes-terday at the Casa de California in Mexico City. Members of this group include representatives of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Of-fice, the University of Cal-ifornia Office of the Presi-dent, the California State University Chancellor’s Office and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities.

Yoga, pick-up soccer match-es, food and desserts trucks all have one thing common this summer, “Summer in St. James,” a pilot program aimed to reactivate St. James park in downtown San Jose to become more community and family oriented.

the office of economic De-velopment, the Department of neighborhood Parks and Recreation and neighbor-hood Services, the City Man-ager’s office, in collaboration with the San Jose Downtown association put together a team to create activities and events to encourage residents to use the park. the city re-ceived a 60 thousand dollar grant from the Knight Foun-dation to fund the newly launched pilot program.

“St. James Park, it’s such a great park it has a lot of

historic value to San Jose, but over the years it had become less active and not tremendously utilized,” said Department of Parks and Recreation event coordina-tor Brian Clampitt.

Clampitt said the goal is to change the landscape of the park to “a much more invit-ing park to the community in general.” He added that residents saw St. James as a walk through, using the park to cut through to get to one place from another. With the addition of weekly activi-ties in the park, “we see folks actually coming around and hanging out spending their lunchtime in the park,” said Clampitt.

the park reactivation group is focused on providing com-munity activities; they have also addressed in their pilot program the homeless popu-lation and a crime-taking place in the park. Clampitt

said the group is working with the San Jose Police De-partment to ensure regular sweeps to issue citations for any illegal activity-taking place.

Clampitt said the Depart-ment of Housing and the Department of Health are conducting outreach to the current homeless population that frequently use the park

to spread awareness about resources that are available to them.

Still in its early stages, the program already has in-creased its attendees, espe-cially during its Wednesday noon activities, like yoga. Michelle Linane, founder of, “Be the Change Yoga and Wellness,” said the Wednes-day noon outdoor yoga class

started off with eight or nine participants and has grown to over 20.

“it’s really the community effort. there’s so much go-ing on in the park right now we’re really glad to be apart of it,” said Linane. “it is our downtown local community, there are people out here right now taking their very first yoga class.”

the “Summer in St. James” pilot program plans to keep expanding by adding more weekly activities, along with the fitness classes and morning boot camps. For a full listing of this summer’s events including outdoor movie nights, fitness activ-ites, and festivals visit http://sjdowntown.com/summer-instjames/.

Para mucha gente, los gastos más importantes de su vida son financiar su retiro, com-prar una casa y pagar la educa-ción universitaria de sus hijos –o al menos una parte. aho-rrar dinero para éstas y otras metas financieras es difícil, es-pecialmente cuando se intenta ahorrar para todas al mismo tiempo y desde una temprana edad.

Uno de los vehículos de ahorro universitario más co-

nocidos es el Plan de ahorro Universitario 529. todos los estados, y Washington, DC., ofrecen al menos una opción de plan 529, aunque la ma-yoría ofrece más de una. Las características principales son:

•Se hacen aportes con dó-lares después de impuestos; la ganancia de la inversión se acrecienta libre de impuestos.•no se pagan impuestos por

el dinero retirado siempre que se utilice para pagar gastos de educación superior calificados (ej. matrícula, pensión, cuotas, libros, útiles y equipos).

•Si se retira dinero para pa-gar gastos no calificados, se debe pagar el impuesto a las ganancias y una penalidad del 10 por ciento sobre la parte de las ganancias de lo que se retira y, posiblemente, una penalidad estatal dependiendo de dónde uno viva.•Muchos estados que tienen

un impuesto a las ganancias estatal ofrecen un descuen-to fiscal total o parcial por los aportes realizados al plan de su propio estado. Hay tres esta-dos (indiana, Utah y vermont) que también ofrecen créditos fiscales por los aportes.

•Los aportes a los planes de otros estados por lo general no son deducibles de impuestos en el estado donde uno vive, pero hay cinco estados que ofrecen beneficios fiscales por invertir en el plan de cualquier estado. (arizona, Kansas, Mai-ne, Missouri y Pensilvania).•el plan de cada estado ofre-

ce diferentes opciones de in-versión, tanto en cuanto al esti-lo de la inversión (basada en la edad, basada en el riesgo, con protección del capital, fondos administrados o indexados, etc.) como en cuanto al rendi-miento real de la inversión.•Se puede elegir a quien uno

quiera como beneficiario –hi-jos, otros parientes o amigos.•Si el beneficiario original

decide no ir a la universidad u obtiene una beca, se puede rea-signar la cuenta a otro miem-bro de la familia en cualquier momento.•Se pueden transferir los

fondos a otro plan 529 o cam-biar las estrategias de inversión una vez por año. Si se quiere hacer más de una transferen-cia de fondos dentro de un pe-ríodo de 12 meses, habrá que cambiar de beneficiario para evitar el pago de impuestos y penalidades. (Siempre se lo puede volver a cambiar más

adelante).•Los aportes de hasta

$14.000 por año, por be-neficiario, están exentos del impuesto a las donaciones ($28.000 para los matrimo-nios).•también se puede hacer un

solo aporte de hasta $70.000 ($140.000 para los matrimo-nios) por cada beneficiario y luego compensar el aporte en cinco años sin tener que pagar el impuesto a las donaciones, siempre y cuando no se haya hecho ninguna otra donación a ese beneficiario en esos cinco años.•estos planes son tratados

como un activo del titular de la cuenta (no del estudiante) cuando se calcula el aporte familiar previsto para los cos-tos universitarios, por lo que tienen un impacto comparati-vamente bajo en la elegibilidad para obtener ayuda financiera.

La mayoría de los expertos financieros recomiendan ana-lizar primero los planes del propio estado para ver qué ventajas fiscales ofrecen a los residentes, si es que ofrecen. estas ventajas podrían ser lo suficientemente significativas como para compensar las me-nores comisiones o el mejor

rendimiento de los fondos que ofrecen los planes de otros es-tados.

examine detenidamente la estructura de comisiones, que suele incluir la comisión por apertura de cuenta, manteni-miento anual, costos adminis-trativos y, lo más importante, la comisión de venta si se com-pra a través de una agencia de corretaje –que puede ser de hasta el 5.75 por ciento de su aporte. Comprar el plan en forma directa evita la comisión de venta pero usted tendrá que investigar cuál es la mejor op-ción para sus necesidades.

Por último, analice el rendi-miento de los fondos tanto en el momento en que se inscribe como periódicamente. Mor-ningstar (www.morningstar.com), College Savings Plans network (www.collegesavings.org) y Finaid (www.finaid.org) tienen herramientas compara-tivas muy útiles.

en resumen: Cuánto antes pueda comenzar a ahorrar para la universidad, menos tendrán sus hijos que depen-der de préstamos costosos.

With each passing year, stu-dent loan debt is digging a deeper hole for more young americans. over a nine-year period, the average student loan balance among 25-year-olds has grown 91 percent, from $10,649 in 2003 to $20,326 in 2012. More than

38 million americans have outstanding debt amounting to nearly $1 trillion. this figure has nearly quadrupled over the last four years, surpassing both credit cards and auto loans as a leading source of personal debt, according to Pew Research and the Federal Reserve Bank of new York.

While the statistics are star-tling, some of today’s young people are prepared to take on the financial challenge. Younger generations (those in their mid-20s to early-30s) are showing signs of taking their finances seriously, according to a MassMutual 2013 State of the american Family Study. nearly two-thirds want to be actively involved in all decisions regarding their finances, and almost half are actively seek-ing ways to educate themselves about personal finance, a rate significantly higher than older generations. For young people looking to take control of their future, there are ways to ease the strain of student debt.

MassMutual offers the follow-ing tips to help graduates man-

age their loans:

* Seek out scholarships - Col-lege is expensive, and taking out student loans is often inevi-table. if you are still in college or considering getting your de-gree, be sure to research and ap-

ply for a range of scholarships to help lower your education costs. “one of the most power-ful steps young people can take to mitigate educational debt is to aggressively seek out scholar-ships to help fund college,” says Michael Fanning, an executive vice president with MassMutu-al. “Graduating from college with less debt can help take the financial worry out of the equa-tion when making ‘grown up’ decisions like homeownership, starting a family and saving for retirement.”

* Make a budget that includes all expenses - expenses fall into three categories: fixed, flexible and discretionary. Sit down and review all of your monthly costs, from meals to rent pay-ments, and identify which cat-egory they fall in. From there, you can allocate funds to each area. it’s critical that you have a full understanding of all ex-penses, debt and assets in order to not only stay on top of fixed expenses - like your student loans - but also build a realistic financial plan.

* Borrow or swap - Before making a purchase, ask a friend or relative if you can borrow or swap for a similar item. this es-pecially holds true for items you may use only once or very few times. Going on a backpacking trip abroad? See if you can bor-row a friend’s backpack rather than buying a new one. Look-ing to update your wardrobe? ask a friend to swap outfits, doubling each other’s ward-robes instantly. Buying some-thing with your money isn’t the only way to get it.

* Keep living at home - Rent is a huge expense. if you’re mov-ing away from your hometown to work, it’s unavoidable. But if your first job is close to home, consider asking if you can move in with your parents for the first year or two to save on ex-penses. Use the money you’re able to save during that time to make larger payments toward your student loans to pay them down quicker. that will also al-low you to bolster your savings for when you do move into a place of your own.

* avoid credit card debt - Post-graduation is a crucial point that will help determine your credit-score for years to come. Younger generations have close to $5,000 in credit card debt, according to MassMutual’s study. to keep credit card debt in check, only use one or two cards at a time with limits that aren’t high, and pay your bal-ance in full each month to avoid interest. Missteps could affect the rate you pay on big pur-chases down the road, like a car or home loan.

* ask for a raise - once you have established a solid founda-tion at your job, usually around the one-year mark, raise your hand and ask for a raise. Be sure to approach your supervi-sor prepared, both with how much more you want and why you deserve it. Highlight how you’ve demonstrated value to company over the year and how your work merits a raise. even if you don’t get it right away, you’ve started the conversation.

Taking steps today to manage your finances and get out of debt will help ensure a successful, debt-free financial situation in the future.

San Jose, along with 37 million participants nation-wide, will celebrate “nation-al night out,” an annual crime and drug prevention event, next tuesday eve-ning, august 5 at more than 100 different registered city event sites.

this year’s event, spon-sored by the national as-sociation of town Watch, and co-sponsored locally by the San Jose Police Depart-ment, will mark its 31st year celebration with more than 16 thousand communities participating nationwide.

“the idea was for neigh-bors to come together, turn the porch light on, lock your doors, and come out with the police department to take a stance against crime and drug activities,” said crime prevention coordina-tor, Mini Le. Leaving the porch light on is the event’s symbol for promoting safe-ty.

the crime prevention unit, along with the department

of Parks and Recreation, and Santa Clara county de-partment of Health, provid-ed event coordinator meet-ings to help ensure that each event site had the proper permits and guidelines. Le said that San Jose has more than 100 sites participating, but some choose not to reg-ister and remain informal since their event is not on a larger scale.

once a list of all registered sites are complied, Le said the list is given out to mul-tiple city departments, and public officials who wish to show support and provide outreach at the event. the list is also given to the police department for patrol.

“Since it is a crime preven-tion celebration, the list is for the patrol to make as many stops as they can in between their calls for ser-vice,” said Le. “Priority that evening will always go to calls for service but in be-tween those calls for service, patrol will stop at as many sites as they can.”

each event site will provide different activities ranging

People of Hispanic and La-tino origin are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes and related cardiometabolic abnormalities, but the risk varies considerably among specifi c ethnic groups and other factors, such as the length of time they have been living in the United States, according to two studies and an accompanying com-mentary being published in the august issue of Diabetes Care.

a separate study also pub-lished in the august issue found that job strain is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes in both men and women, inde-pendent of lifestyle factors.

Prevalence of Diabetes Among Hispanics/LatinosResearchers have long

known that people of His-panic/Latino background are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes than non-Hispanic Caucasians. However, most research has looked at this group as a whole, rather than as a number of different pop-ulations.

there are more than 50 million Hispanics/Latinos currently living in the United States, making up about 16 percent of the population. the U.S. Census Bureau es-timates that by 2050, one in three people living in the United States will be of His-

panic/Latino origin, includ-ing such diverse subgroups as Puerto Rican, Mexican, Cuban, Central and South americans. But, wrote the authors of a commentary being published in this issue of Diabetes Care, “the differ-ences in diabetes and obesity prevalence among Latino subgroups are masked when all individuals are combined into a single group.”

the Hispanic Commu-nity Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SoL) was launched by the national Heart, Lung and Blood in-stitute in part to fi ll in knowl-edge gaps regarding the prevalence and development of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, among the diverse members of these popula-tions. it found considerable diversity among Hispanic/Latino groups when it comes to the prevalence of diabetes, as well as a low rate of diabe-tes awareness, diabetes con-trol and health insurance.

the study found that the prevalence of total diabetes (both diagnosed and undiag-nosed) among all Hispanic/Latino groups was roughly 16.9 percent for both men and women, compared to 10.2 percent for non-His-panic whites. However, when looking at Hispanic/Latino groups individually, it found that prevalence varied from a high of 18.3 percent for those of Mexican descent to a low of 10.2 percent for people

of South american descent. the study showed 18.1 per-cent of people of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent; 17.7 percent of Central amer-ican descent; and 13.4 per-cent of Cuban descent living in the United States had type 2 diabetes.

as seen in other popula-tions, prevalence rose dra-matically with age, reaching more than 50 percent for Hispanic/Latino women (overall) by the time they reached age 70 and 44.3 percent for men aged 70-74. the study also found that the longer a person lived in the United States, the more likely they were to develop diabetes, and the more edu-cation and income they had, the less likely they were to de-velop diabetes. the authors noted that many people in the study had poor glycemic control (52 percent) and/or lacked health insurance (47.9 percent).

“the picture that emerges from HCHS/SoL is one in which Hispanics/Latinos with diabetes have a high potential future risk of devel-oping complications due to relatively poor glycemic con-trol and diabetes manage-ment,” said neil Schneider-man, PhD, principal inves-tigator for the HCHS/SoL. “although there is a steep gradient relating high diabe-tes prevalence to low house-hold income and education in Hispanics/Latinos, the

EL OBSERVADOR Diabetes is an epidemic in

the U.S. at least 23 million americans have diabetes, and the incidence has increased at an alarming rate in recent years, rising 61% among people in their thirty’s. each year there are 800,000 new-cases, of which over 125,000 are people younger than 19.

German researchers report-ed that overweight and obese diabetic patients who exer-cised and ate a low-glycemic diet for 3 weeks reduced their diabetic medication require-ments by 86%. Since 9 out of 10 diabetic patients are overweight or obese. Studies show that losing as little as 5 to 10% of total body weight improves insulin sensitiv-ity and blood sugar control. Weight-loss is often diffi cult, and patients need a step-by-step program that targets fat burning and is relatively easy to follow and get results.

the primary way to take control of type 2 diabetes is by restructuring how you eat and your food choices.

Low-glycemic foods; beans, unsalted seeds/nuts, most vegetables (not corn, pota-toes, carrots, beets, peas or winter squash), limited fresh fruits (no bananas), limited whole grains (no refi ned fl our or white rice), lean meats, poultry, fi sh.

exercise, especially aerobic (walking, hiking) 3 to 5 times weekly, for 30 to 60 minutes. this will help burn and con-trol glucose.

Medication is more than just glucose control. Manag-ing type 2 diabetes shouldn’t be to just achieve some stan-dardized blood sugar target, but to enhance your health and protect against compli-cation.

taking oral medication and/or insulin may lower blood sugar, but also increas-

es the risk of the following complications; weight gain (increases insulin dosage), dangerously lowers blood sugar levels and doubles to triples the risk of cardiovas-cular disease.

Losing vital nutrients, dia-betics rapidly lose major vi-tamins and minerals that are associated with increased risk of heart disease, neuropathy, vision loss, kidney failure and other diabetic complications.

fi nding of improved diabetes awareness among those who have insurance suggests that increasing the number of those insured may help fl at-ten the gradient.” “if there are

any bright highlights in the picture,” he added, “they are that Hispanics/Latinos older than 65 years, who have bet-ter access to health care, are more likely to be aware of

their diabetes, more likely to be receiving treatment, and have better glycemic control than those people under the age of 65 years.”

From weekend backyard barbeques to spontaneous weeknight gatherings, summer is fi lled with celebrations that bring friends and family together for fabulous food, drink and fun. Whether you’re unsure of what wines to serve as the host, or the best refreshment to pick as a guest, you don’t have to be a master sommelier to choose the perfect wine pairing for every meal or occasion.

As a general rule, nature has color-coded foods with the wines best suited for their fl avors. For example, white wines pair well with light foods, while dark wines usually complement richer fare. Here are some more specifi c scenarios to help you enjoy the warm weather and good times ahead this summer.

Wedding Showers and CelebrationsLong summer days are a great time to celebrate big life events — like

wedding showers and house-warming parties. Because many of these soi-rees include an assortment of foods, there are several routes you can take to discover the perfect wine pairing. For guests enjoying fresh, fruit salad or tilapia with a mango salsa, consider an herbaceous sauvignon blanc which will complement the fruit fl avors with its crisp acidity. For those who prefer a more fl oral wine, a viognier may be the answer to go alongside any grilled chicken or seafood dish.

Al Fresco EventsSummer is oft en marked by cookouts, picnics and other al fresco dining

occasions. A top choice among many guests is a vibrant, fl avorful glass of chardonnay. Th is favorite white wine pairs well with crisp summer salads and lighter grilled selections, such as salmon and shrimp entrees.

Summer Barbeques and Daytime EventsIf a sunny, mid-day get together is in your future, there is one delicious pair-

ing option to consider. For hosts who plan to serve a grilled selection, such as pork chops or saucy, smoky ribs, consider pairing the menu with an expres-sive and fruit forward red blend. A sultry mosaic of French varieties, the wine focuses on Syrah and Malbec with aromas of ripe raspberry and bold black cherry. Hints of spice and dark chocolate deliver a smooth, lingering fi nish, so this red blend will also complement a grilled steak or any other red meat favorite.

No matt er what festivities are booked on your summer calendar, this season is full of delightf ul sips for every event.

Arturo Hilario eL oBSeRvaDoR

Last Friday brought about tacos, Miller Fortune and 100 sketches artwork from Sam Rodriguez.

Rodríguez, a local San José artist, held a sketch gallery Called “a night of Fortune” where 100 of his pieces were exhibited at the MaCLa art Space in downtown San José. it was sponsored by Miller Fortune and Complex maga-zine.

His sketches ranged from portraits infused with famous pop figures, like Kanye West, the cast of the Mario Bros. video games, to straightfor-ward portraits of people. the realism in their faces makes it difficult to assess whether they’re actual people or faces from Sam’s imagination. ei-ther way the eclectic mix of guests at the dark but lively gallery certainly seemed to enjoy the vibes.

one of the first portraits that one came across was of UFW leader Cesar Chavez with the “huelga eagle” mixed into

the portrait. these collabo-rations of faces, images and even texts have not always been Sam’s style, but as i learned, this combination became what his art is.

“I’ve practiced and studied art in other cities, I was originally from San José and I’m born

and raised there, after

getting a feel for what’s out there

I decided to come back here and establish myself as an

artist.” “now a lot of the art scene is globalized. You’re able to practice where you’re from but still share with the world

through social media.” this aspect of globalization was present in the gallery open-ing. not only was the crowd diverse, the sketches them-selves, although rooted in Sam’s style, were a melting pot of ideas and cultures.

He came from a graffiti back-ground which then turned into a passion for portraits and lettering. From there Sam moved on to graphic de-sign. He practiced these dif-ferent forms of art separately, “just because i thought they needed to be separated.”

What occurred was a syn-thesis of all his artistic back-grounds into a style which is urban, worldly, and ultimate-ly gave him a unique voice and visual aesthetic.

“the idea that these images are rooted in, i think that the idea is, the reason that i choose portraits is because i’m interested in people and how people came to be. Just being a Latino there’s so much layer and so much mixture.” to Sam when it comes to juxtaposition the Latino culture is one of those

that mixes so many tradi-tions, stories and flavors. Whether from the homeland or a Chicano from the Bay, there is a mixture that de-fines our heritage.

For Sam the deciding factor to become an artist was a trip to Brazil, where he made a few small paintings. one of these, that of a stylized man looking up into the sky, was the catalyst of becoming a full-fledged artist. that was in his opinion his best work, the pivotal moment because it motivated him to go all in.

now his ambitions are to work on bringing more art to the streets of San José, in particular street installations. He feels that there is a need for the community to enjoy art that is accessible, and not everyone will have the resources to go into a gallery or art show to see art. “Go-ing out [around the world] has helped me appreciate the qualities of the people here. there’s a lot that you can learn from your own back-yard.”

the so-far in-vain search for Flight 370 has indeed stirred up interest in the growing problem of ocean debris as objects thought to possibly be plane parts have repeat-edly turned out to be just fl oating trash.

“the ocean is like a plas-tic soup, bulked up with the croutons of these larger items,” Charles Moore, the captain who discovered an ocean trash gyre roughly the size of texas swirling around in the deep ocean currents between Hawaii and Cali-fornia, told the associated Press. “it’s like a toilet bowl that swirls but doesn’t fl ush,” he added. Moore’s “Great Pa-cifi c Garbage Patch” is one of fi ve such debris vortexes in the world’s oceans. Last april, searchers for MH370 stumbled onto the eastern edge of one of them in the indian ocean, at fi rst mis-taking some of the larger bobbing objects for airplane wreckage.

While this fl oating fl otsam may be a time-wasting dis-traction for MH370 search-ers, green leaders are worried about it for other reasons. according to the U.S. envi-ronmental Protection agen-cy (ePa), trash and other ocean debris can cause direct harm to wildlife that ingests or gets caught in it and can break or suffocate coral reefs that are key habitat for many of the world’s marine species.

Marine debris can also con-tribute to the movement of harmful invasive species that hitch rides from one body of water to another.

another issue is that so much marine debris is com-prised of plastic, much of which takes hundreds of years to break down and ends up in the digestive systems of everything from whales to plankton, including much of the seafood that ends up on our dinner plates.

the 2011 report, “Plastic Debris in the California Ma-rine ecosystem,” by the Cali-fornia ocean Science trust, California ocean Protection Council and Sea Grant found that plastic debris in the ocean not only leaches some chemical pollutants that were added during manu-facture but also absorbs and accumulates others. this includes many persistent or-ganic pollutants (so-called PoPs that have been used ex-tensively for things like pest control, crop production and industrial manufacturing) from surrounding seawater and marine sediments. these PoPs have been linked to population declines, diseases and behavioral or physi-cal abnormalities in many wildlife species. Researchers are still not sure how these chemicals, as well as others (Bisphenol a, phthalates, phenanthrene, etc.) may af-fect marine ecosystems in the long run.

in the meantime, we can all play a role in reducing the amount of plastic and other debris that end up in our oceans. “the most effective way to stop plastic pollution in our oceans is to make sure it never reaches the water in the fi rst place,” says the natural Resources Defense Council (nRDC), a leading environmental non-profi t. according to the group, in-dividuals need to take care to recycle and never litter, while manufacturers should reduc-ing packaging and design more of it to be fully recy-clable. nRDC and others are also working on the legisla-tive front to try to institution-alize such measures.

Based on the incredible life story of the Godfather of Soul, the fi lm will give a fearless look inside the mu-sic, moves and moods of Brown, taking audiences on the journey from his impov-erished childhood to his evo-lution into one of the most infl uential fi gures of the 20th century.

De Marvel, el estudio responsable de las exitosas franquicias mundiales de Iron Man, Thor, Captain America y The Avengers, llega un nuevo equipo: Guardians of the Galaxy. “Guardians of the Galaxy” de Marvel es una épica aventura espacial cargada de acción que expande el universo cinematográfi co de Marvel hacia el cosmos, en la que el descarado aven-turero Peter Quill es el objeto de una implacable cacería luego de robar una misteriosa esfera codiciada por Ronan, un poderoso villano con una ambición que amenaza al universo entero.

Para evadir al persistente Ronan, Quill se ve forzado a entablar una precaria alianza con un cuarteto de extraños inadaptados: Rocket, un mapache pistolero; Groot, un humanoide simi-lar a un árbol; la letal y enigmática Gamora y el vengativo Drax the Destroyer. Pero cuando Quill descubre el verdadero poder de la esfera y la amenaza que representa para el cosmos, deberá hacer lo posible para reunir a sus insólitos rivales para una desesperada y última bata-lla, en la que se juega el destino de la galaxia.

La actriz regiomontana suma 33 años de

trayectoria

(notiMex)

en sus más de 30 años de trayectoria artística, Érika Buenfil nunca ha participado en una telenovela de época, lo cual sería su máximo sueño.

“ojalá para la próxima que vayan a hacer me den aunque sea un papel chiquito. tengo muchas ganas de usar esos vestidotes”, declaró la actriz, quien suma 33 años en el oficio.

no ha procurado un festejo en especial porque asegura que todos los días ya son una celebración, sólo por el sim-ple hecho de continuar tra-bajando.

“afortunadamente sigo vigente y con grandes pro-yectos, eso es lo más impor-tante”, destacó la intérprete de “Fela” en la telenovela “La Gata”, que ha logrado buena aceptación del público en el horario de las 16:15 horas por el Canal 2 de televisa.

Platicó que el televidente ha recibido bien a su personaje

no obstante el cambio drásti-co, pues luego de verla como una mujer adinerada en “amores verdaderos” (2012), hasta hace unos días lucía como una pepenadora que vivía en el basurero.

“Yo tenía duda, pero este re-verso de la moneda lo han re-cibido muy bien y la verdad, había que sorprender al pu-blico con otra cosa en la que no me pareciera”.

aunque se ha desempeña-do en varios personajes en el curso de su carrera, Érika Buenfil dice que todos han sido en televisión y le gusta-ría que algún día le llamaran

para hacer cine, otra de sus asignaturas pendientes, pues hace varios años que no ca-mina por ese sendero.

“ojalá pensaran en mí. Lo que pasa es que son dos gé-neros distintos, son como dos vidas, dos familias y mundos diferentes. Quizá como estoy tan activa en tele a lo mejor no me doy el tiempo de bus-car algo en cine”.

al concluir en octubre las grabaciones de “La Gata”, la actriz ya tiene contemplado regresar al teatro donde el año pasado hizo el monólogo “volver al amor”, bajo la pro-ducción de Rubén Lara.

alfonso de anda, conduc-tor del nuevo “reality show” de azteca, “Soy tu doble viP”, que arrancará transmisiones el 18 de agosto, dijo que en la emisión se verá a famosos imitando a todo tipo de famo-sos. “es un formato de com-petencia, en el que se verá a famosos de todos los ámbitos, desde cantantes, actrices, ac-tores, comediantes, que van a

imitar a todo tipo de famosos, que forman parte del mundo del entretenimiento.

“van a competir por un premio de un millón de pe-sos, pero además el público desde casa va a poder ganar, lo que hará que sea interac-tivo el programa”, declaró en entrevista alfonso de anda, quien será el conductor de la transmisión. originalmente, el programa estaba planeado

para transmitirse una vez a la semana, pero los productores mejor decidieron apostar por una idea nueva para que sea de lunes a viernes.

“De lunes a miércoles vamos a tener duelos, en los que se van a enfrentar los partici-pantes cara a cara, van a tener que imitar a ciertos persona-jes y los jueces sentenciarán a un grupo de participantes, quienes el jueves competirán

para salvarse en la competen-cia y no salir del programa.

“el viernes será todo lo con-trario, vamos a tener a todos los ganadores y van a compe-tir por el sillón de la inmuni-dad, les va a dar garantía de que la próxima semana nadie los va a poder tocar” explicó De anda sobre la mecánica de este “show”, que se transmiti-rá de las 19:00 a las 20:00 por azteca 13. entre los 24 concursantes se encuentran: Julio iglesias Jr., Shanik aspe, estrella veloz, Karla Díaz-Leal, Daniel Riolobos y Lupita Sandoval, aura Cris-tina Geithner, alejandra Ley, alex Garza, Carlos Fonseca, Chao, Sofía Garza, alan Ma-

cín, María alejandra Molina, María Karuna y Colibritany.

así como agustín argüe-llo, Gustavo Rivera, Rodrigo Fernández, erasmo Catari-no, Óscar Jiménez, Cristó-bal orellana, junto con dos participantes que salieron de un “casting” nacional entre el público: Francisco Puga y alma Moreno.el jurado esta-rá conformado por el director de la primera generación de “La academia”, Héctor Mar-tínez. “es una persona que sabe mucho de la industria, alguien que formó la carrera de muchos artistas en la déca-da de los 90 y que trabajó en disqueras importantes.

“también tenemos a niurka Marcos, que es la mujer es-cándalo, que no tiene pelos en la lengua y una mujer que estoy seguro entrará en el corazón de los televidentes”, añadió el presentador mexi-cano.

además estará Cynthia Rodríguez y ese Wey, un co-mediante que “se ha hecho dentro de los medios subte-rráneos de la comunicación, se ha hecho en blogs, en ca-nales de Youtube, a través del stand up que es un género que se está haciendo mu-cho en México”, concluyó De anda.

el mediocampista español Salva Sevilla del espanyol de Barcelona, dijo que aunque la temporada pasada la plan-tilla era buena, la presente campaña es mejor.

“Me gusta esta plantilla. Me gustaba ya el año pasado el grupo que había y creo que tenemos un gran equipo, pero hay que poner los cinco sentidos en todos los partidos y no pensar en otra cosa que no sea eso”, comentó en rue-da de prensa el jugador de 30 años.

el originario de Berja, pro-cedente del descendido Real Betis es una de las 13 altas que presentarán los “periqui-tos” para el ciclo 2014-2015.

“Yo soy de los que creo que en la Liga hay que pensar en cada jornada y luego, en la siguiente y así ir suman-do puntos. Hemos de sumar muchos para llegar a las últi-

mas siete o diez jornadas con opciones de buscarnos otras metas”.

este será el quinto escudo que defienda Sevilla en su ca-rrera tras cuatro temporadas de “verdiblanco”, donde par-ticipó en 95 cotejos de liga

española con un total de seis mil 467 minutos y 11 goles.

“estamos en una buena lí-nea, pero todavía es pronto. estamos convencidos de que podemos hacer un buen año y vamos a tratar de que así sea”, concluyó Salva Sevilla.

(notiMex)

el delantero español Pedro Rodríguez, dijo que el club Barcelona tiene la misma ambición de ganar pese a los múltiples cambios y fichajes de cara a la siguiente tempo-rada.

“no va a afectar tanto cam-bio, hay una base sólida, que lleva muchos años trabajan-do, poco a poco vamos ir co-giendo confianza. tenemos la misma ambición”, comen-tó en conferencia de prensa esta mañana.

Rodríguez espera tener más minutos de juego con el téc-nico Luis enrique a quien co-noce bien: “no ha cambiado, sigue siendo un gran entre-nador con la misma filosofía de siempre, intenso en el as-pecto físico”.

“en el Barza siempre se lu-cha por un puesto. Cada año siempre hay fichajes, siempre he tenido una competencia muy dura. Luis Suárez es un gran jugador y seguramente voy a aprender mucho de él”.este es el sexto año que Pedro forma parte de la primera plantilla y aclaró que habló

“con Zubizarreta (director general deportivo de la enti-dad) y me dijo que contaban con mis servicios”.

Desde que se desempeña como delantero del primer equipo, “Pedrito” ha jugado 252 partidos oficiales y en los que ha marcado 87 tantos.

“estos fueron los factores determinantes para que me quedara. Mi idea es seguir en el Barza muchos años. tenemos el mismo en obje-tivo común de ganar títulos y estar bien considerados en europa”, remató.

Un día después de haber firmado un acuerdo integral para combatir el cambio cli-mático con el Gobierno de México, el Gobernador ed-mund G. Brown Jr. firmó hoy un acuerdo con el Secretario de energía de México, Pe-dro Joaquín Coldwell, para promover las inversiones transfronterizas en energías renovables.

“tanto California como México se toman muy en se-rio el mandato de reducción de carbono”, dijo el Gober-nador Brown. “a través de este acuerdo, procuraremos trabajar juntos para incre-mentar significativamente las inversiones en materia de energía solar, eólica y otras fuentes de energía renovable”.

el acuerdo refleja el com-promiso de México y Califor-nia de trabajar juntos para promover la eficiencia ener-gética y la energía renovable.

entre otras cosas, el acuer-do establece que California y México trabajen juntos en materia de desarrollo de tec-nologías con baja emisión de carbono, biocombustibles y eficiencia energética para mejorar la fiabilidad y la ase-quibilidad de los suministros energéticos.

el gobernador anunció por primera vez la Misión de Comercio e inversiones a México en su discurso sobre la Situación del estado 2014 y se reunió con los Cónsules Generales de México en dis-tintas ciudades de California en marzo. La semana pasa-da, en anticipación al viaje, el

gobernador Brown se reunió con el secretario de Relacio-nes exteriores de México, José antonio Meade Kuri-breña en Sacramento e invitó al presidente de México en-rique Peña nieto a reunirse durante el transcurso de este año en California.

en esta Misión de Comercio e inversiones, el gobernador Brown va acompañado por una delegación de legislado-res estatales y altos funciona-rios de gobierno. La misión también está integrada por una delegación organizada por la Cámara de Comercio de California con la ayuda de la Fundación de California para el Comercio y la educa-ción, conformada por aproxi-madamente 90 empresarios, líderes en desarrollo econó-mico, inversiones y política de todo California.
