5 sugerencias para tomar unas vacaciones de verano ‘sin arruinarse’

Las vacaciones son buenas para usted. Pero también pueden ser agresivas con la billetera. Para más de un tercio de los es-tadounidenses, el costo de las vacaciones será uno de sus mayores gastos el año próximo, según la reciente encuesta de Wells Fargo “De qué modo Estados Unidos compra y adquiere préstamos.” ¿Cómo puede evitar una desagradable sorpresa por el costo de las vacaciones?

Stroke Awareness Month: What’s New in Stroke Therapies?

Stroke is the leading cause of severe disability, and the fifth leading cause of death for all Americans. The burden is worse in minority communities; minorities have higher stroke risks, strokes at an earlier age, and more severe strokes. For example, African-Americans are twice as likely to die from a stroke com-pared to Whites. (Read more online)

José López Zamorano LAREDHISPANA

Sarah Saldaña, la directora del Servicio de Inmigración y Control Aduanal (ICE), an-unció este mes una serie de cambios para incrementar la supervisión y rendición de cuentas, así como incremen-tar el acceso y la transparencia en el sistema de centros famil-iares de detención para inmi-grantes indocumentados.

A raíz de sucesivas quejas de condiciones de confinamien-to “crueles e inhumanas”, el ICE creará una nuevo comité asesor con expertos en salud y atención a menores, facili-tación de la libertades condi-cionales y medidas para dar el beneficio de la duda a famil-ias que soliciten ser tratados como refugiados.

María Rosa López, una in-migrante indocumentada hondureña que pidió asilo política y que fue víctima de

violencia y abuso, vivió en carne propia las insuficientes de los centro de detención, lu-ego de permanecer unos seis meses retenida en el Centro Residencial del Condado de Karnes, Texas.

Madre de una hija, María Rosa tuvo que encabezar una huelga de hambre con otras mujeres recluidas, ante lo que denunciaron como malas condiciones de confinamien-to, agua no apta para el con-sumo humano, comporta-miento degradante y falta de acceso a una representación legal adecuada.

Su caso, y el de cientos de familias en situación similar, atrajo la atención de legis-ladores en Washington, en medio del compás de espera por el desenlace de las accio-nes ejecutivas migratorias del presidente Barack Obama, que son examinadas por la Corte del Quinto Circuito de Apelaciones en Nueva Or-leans.

La legisladora demócrata de California, Zoe Lofgren, quien trabajó como abogada migratoria antes de llegar al Congreso, sostuvo que las mujeres vulnerables como María Rosa, que huyen de la violencia y el abuso en sus países de origen, no están

violando la ley y deben recibir un trato como solicitantes de asilo en Estados Unidos.

Para el representante demócrata de Illinois, Luis Gutiérrez, es importante en-tender las repercusiones de largo plazo que sufren las familias, especialmente los menores de edad, por el efecto de un tratamiento de deten-ción inadecuado, además de las dificultades para obtener una representación legal ap-ropiada.

Pero el líder de los demócra-tas en el Senado fue más allá. “Las reformas propuestas no son suficientes. Ponerle fin a la detención familiar es la única solución. Detener a mujeres y niños que están huyendo de la pobreza ex-trema, persecución, abuso y violencia es inaceptable y va en contra de nuestros valores fundamentales.

Si conoce el caso de un fa-miliar o amigo que se padezca condiciones de confinamien-to inapropiadas, siempre ex-iste la opción de contactar a la oficina del congresista que represente su distrito o es-tado. Alzar la voz y expresar un punto de vista un tema tan importante, es un derecho y una obligación cívica.

The current practice of max-imizing profits is not enough. The ‘Trickle Down’ economic theory has benefitted only about 500 families whose wealth exceeds that of the rest of us.

Some of that wealth is being used to distort governance system in a manner that cre-ates much disparity and ineq-uity. Where is the American Dream today? Where is the belief in a system of meritoc-racy which provides many op-portunities?

In the quest to maximize profits, many multinational firms relocated their manu-facturing capability to off-shore locations where labor and the environment are not protected by OSHA and EPA. Since 1975, the middle class income has remained stagnant or declined. The American skilled labor is edu-cated, innovative, creative and highly productive. However, information technology has developed robotics and au-tomation which is minimiz-ing the available jobs being created when manufactur-ing capacity is ‘brought back’. The outcome of these devel-opments is that production of goods is rising with lower labor employment levels. Yet retail market analysts keep wondering why ‘consump-tion levels’ are not increasing. Where are the market ana-lysts who can conceptualize that when the working class have no jobs, no income, no discretionary money in their pockets, the outcome is a reduction in consump-tion (retail sales) except for the required necessities of life (food, shelter, medical care).

Under dire circumstances, even medical care and educa-tion have a lower priority than food, clothing and shelter.

The current paradigm that an individual must work for his/her living is becoming very difficult to ache when manufacturing jobs are elim-inated by investments made in automation and robotics. It is time to think of a new paradigm for the distribu-tion of available work (if one is to continue to ‘work for a living’). If that is not pos-sible, is anyone considering the need to reduce the work week from 40 hours per week down to 32 hours per week? During the Great Depression (1929-1941), the workforce at Gary Steel Works (Now US Steel), shared work by work-ing three days one week and two days the following week. That 5-work day income was enough to enable heads of households to continue to meet their responsibilities as ‘breadearners’ for their fami-lies.

Another approach would be to adjust the current IRS tax code to eliminate all cor-porate welfare and subsidies. Also require the top 1% to pay higher taxes. Today this sector has the ability to have their lawyers, CPA’s, and lobbyists to find ways to avoid paying a fair share of taxes. And the democratic legislative process is being subverted by their ‘dark money’ (resulting form that Supreme Court Citizen’s United decision).

The influential ultra-wealthy need to realize that if the labor force has no no jobs, no in-come, no discretionary money, then their ability to be partici-pants in a consumer economy is egregiously compromised. One outcome is that ‘profits’ will not be realized. Those cor-porate shares will not provide the expected dividends the ultra-wealthy receive without participating in productive work.

The view of the top 1% that BIG GOVERNMENT is the problem is myopic at best. Any governance system must be adequately sized to admin-ister and provide the civil ser-vices required which include the underwriting of national sovereignty and security costs along with local police capa-bility controlled by local juris-dictions.

What is happening today is leading this American nation into enormous debts simply because the influential ultra-wealthy do not want to pay their fair share of taxes which support the services provided by an infrastructure that is beginning to fall apart. This nation’s economists need to define “What is a fair profit?” No one knows, so all takes as much as possible. This na-tion’s working poor are being exploited egregiously. Despite being employed, some still re-quire welfare assistance.

Commerce must be adjusted to enable sharing of existing work which provides a living wage. Unions must regain their ‘collective bargain-ing rights’ so that the labor-ing class has representatives at those conference tables where economic decisions are made that impact all of us. And, most importantly, that ‘Trickle Down’ economic theory must be replaced by a new paradigm which enables all of us to share the wealth of this nation and its natural resources. Investments must be made in a manner that cre-ates a sustainable economy that delivers the greatest good for the greatest number. The current focus on just profits is not enough. Economic data must include measurements of the current level of impov-erishment. A new dynamic economy can be created if we deal with all factors impact-ing this nation’s residents. The current focus on ‘profits’ is too myopic.

OPINION

NAPSI

When over 50 percent of the recipients of a national scholarship program are awarded to students in a par-ticular category, it’s time to take notice.

This is exactly what oc-curred when the DELL SCHOLARS PROGRAM Class of 2015 was announced earlier this year, and 152 of the 300 awards were given to AVID students nationwide.

AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Indi-vidual Determination, is a San Diego-based nonprofit whose mission is to close the achievement gap by prepar-ing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

The DELL SCHOLARS PROGRAM provides 300 scholarships annually, and since 2004, has provided students with over $60 mil-lion in college scholarships and support services. They reward low-income, highly motivated students who are

better than their numbers indicate and demonstrate the drive to succeed despite per-sonal obstacles.

This matches closely with the AVID student profile: one who has made the com-mitment to enroll in rigorous coursework, improve his or her study skills, and wants to enroll in college.

Dell Scholars receive $20,000 each to continue their higher education for the next six years. In addi-tion, the DELL SCHOL-ARS PROGRAM provides its students with technology, resources, and mentoring to

ensure they have the support they need to obtain a college degree.

AVID serves almost a mil-lion students nationally and continues to expand into school districts that desire to improve equity in their communities and ensure all students can earn a college degree.

STATEPOINT

Afterschool programs serve 3.8 million Hispanic children nationwide. While a majority of parents report being sat-isfied with the healthy food and variety of physical activity their child’s program offers, there is still a vast unmet need for such programs, particular-ly among Hispanic families.

The parents of 5.5 million Hispanic children and the parents of the parents of 19.4 million children overall say they would enroll their child in an afterschool program if it were available, according to, “Kids on the Move: After-school Programs Promoting Healthy Eating and Physi-cal Activity,” a special report based on responses collected for America After 3PM.

“Afterschool programs are a proven, but sometimes un-derappreciated, tool in the effort to prevent childhood obesity and physical inactiv-ity,” says Jodi Grant, Execu-tive Director of Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit public awareness and advocacy or-ganization. “We’ve known for a long time that afterschool, before-school and summer programs keep kids safe, in-spire them to learn, and help working parents. These new data make clear that they also do a tremendous amount to

help keep kids healthy, now and for the future.”

The new survey, which was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, finds that many parents are un-aware of Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPA) Standards for afterschool programs, which recom-mend at least 30 minutes of morning or afterschool pro-gram time for physical activ-ity. The report recommends doing more to ensure that afterschool providers, as well as parents, are aware of the HEPA Standards.

According to the report:

• Most parents agree that afterschool programs should provide healthy food and bev-erage options for children.

• Most parents say that pro-viding healthy food was an important factor in selecting an afterschool program.

White and African-Ameri-can parents were more likely than Hispanic parents to say that their child’s afterschool program serves snacks that include healthy foods (75 per-cent and 72 percent versus 63 percent).

• More than eight in 10 His-panic parents and African-American parents agree that afterschool programs should

help children be physically ac-tive.

• When asked about oppor-tunities for physical activity, 71 percent of Hispanic par-ents and 71 percent of Afri-can-American parents report that it was very important when selecting their child’s afterschool program.

• An overwhelming majority of Hispanic parents and Afri-can-American parents report that their child’s afterschool program does provide oppor-tunities for physical activity.

“The afterschool community is committed to doing even more to stop childhood obe-sity,” Grant says. “Quality af-terschool programs are a vital part of the fabric of our com-munities, providing a rich array of services children and families need.”

National and state-by-state results from that report and from this special report are available at www.after-schoolalliance.org/AA3PM/.

With participation in after-school programs over the past decade growing from 6.5 mil-lion to 10.2 million children, increasing support for these programs from government at all levels, philanthropies, businesses and others is cru-cial, say experts.

A new study finds that many parents are unaware of Healthy Eat-ing and Physical Activity (HEPA) Standards for afterschool programs, which recommend at least 30 minutes of morning or afterschool pro-gram time for physical activity. Photo courtesy: (c) Patricia Lake

La llegada de la primavera representa nuevos comienzos, y es el momento adecuado para poner la casa en orden. Ya sea que esté buscando para com-prar por primera vez, remozar una vivienda ya existente, o hacer uso de la plusvalía creada por otras razones, es impor-tante determinar cuál vía es la apropiada para usted, así como conocer las opciones de présta-mo disponibles.

Por fortuna, Regions Bank y muchas otras instituciones financieras ofrecen varias her-ramientas y calculadoras gra-tuitas en Internet para que los consumidores comprendan sus presupuestos, y obtengan el mejor financiamiento para satisfacer sus necesidades.

Las personas que compran una vivienda por primera vez, tienen una excelente oportuni-dad para hacerlo ahora, pues las tasas de interés permane-cen en el nivel más bajo históri-camente.

Primeramente, los compra-dores deben comenzar de-terminando lo que les resulta costeable. Además del pago de la hipoteca, los gastos de vivi-enda están compuestos por im-puestos de la propiedad, segu-ros y cuotas de propietarios, así como el pago de asociación de propietarios. En total, los gas-tos no deben superar el 28 por ciento del ingreso bruto men-sual, y deben dejar espacio para cumplir con los compromisos de otras deudas como présta-mos de estudiante, tarjetas de crédito o la letra de préstamo para la adquisición de un ve-hículo.

Cuando se prepare para com-prar una vivienda, solicite una pre-aprobación de crédito, para estar listo con una oferta sólida cuando surja la oportun-idad. El prestamista consider-ará, además de revisar el histo-rial de crédito, la cantidad para el pago inicial o enganche, que oscila generalmente entre el 3 y el 20 por ciento. En caso de que se haga un pago inicial inferior al 20 por ciento, el comprador

tendrá que adquirir un seguro de hipoteca. Sin embargo, la institución que origina la hipo-teca puede proporcionar una amplia gama de opciones de préstamo para optimizar su inversión, desde hipotecas de 15 y 30 años a términos fijos y variables.

Si el cambio de estaciones trae como resultado la necesidad de realizar algunas mejoras en una residencia querida, con-sidere el financiamiento de esa remodelación mediante una línea de crédito sobre la plus-valía de la vivienda (Home Eq-uity Line of Credit, HELOC). La elegibilidad depende de cuánta plusvalía se ha creado en la vivienda, y de la propor-ción préstamo-valor del presta-mista. HELOC funciona en gran medida como una tarjeta de crédito, y ofrece flexibilidad, con el pago mensual de una cantidad mínima, y el interés se aplica a la cantidad prestada.

Antes de iniciar un proyecto de remodelación, haga una in-vestigación previa. Comience con el prestamista, par deter-minar el valor de la vivienda, y la cantidad de préstamo dis-ponible. Luego, cree un presu-puesto, teniendo siempre en cuenta los gastos inesperados. Trabaje con un profesional prestigioso para definir el proyecto y sus requerimientos, y pida estimados y recomen-daciones para seleccionar un contratista con confianza. Al-gunos prestamistas ofrecen listas de comprobación para aprovechar al máximo la in-versión.

Otra opción para financiar un proyecto usando la plusvalía de la vivienda es el préstamo sobre la plusvalía de la vivi-enda (Home Equity Loan, HE-LOAN). Al igual que con la hi-poteca, el préstamo se entrega en una suma total, y se paga en

mensualidades, generalmente durante 10 a 15 años, y a la tasa de interés fija determinada en el momento de asegurar el préstamo. El HELOAN es muy conveniente para el objetivo de una sola vez de incrementar el valor de una vivienda. Tenga en cuenta que tanto el HELOAN o el HELOC tienen su dosis de incertidumbre, pues los gastos mensuales podrían incremen-tarse, y se deben mantener para evitar el riesgo de una eje-cución hipotecaria.

No deje de consultar con un profesional para que le ofrezca orientaciones aplicables a su situación específica. Comience con un prestamista que le ayude a identificar las opciones financieras disponibles en la actualidad para compradores y propietarios de viviendas. Con una planificación y creación de presupuesto cuidadosos, el financiamiento que necesita puede estar más cerca de lo que piensa.

According to a recent survey, 33 percent of

consumers use just one or two passwords to log in for all websites. This can be a dangerous practice—but you can protect yourself.

NAPS

Although Americans are increasingly shopping online and are well aware of the risks that cyber thieves pose, a majority admit they do not take the time to follow basic precautions they know can protect their personal and financial information. A few facts and tips can help you avoid trouble.

That is one of the key findings of the CA Security

Council’s (CASC) 2015 Consumer Trust Survey,

which reveals that:

•Most consumers have at least one device they don’t bother password protecting. The most common device left unguarded is the tablet, a device that 61 percent leave unprotected.

• On a positive note,

53 percent of respondents identify the padlock as adding confidence in an e-commerce site, with 42 percent associating the green bar and organization name in the URL with greater safety. The green bar indicates a website has earned a special Extended Validation (EV) digital certificate.

•43 percent of respondents are happy to use public Wi-Fi without regard to security issues, as long as it is free.

•33 percent use just one or two passwords to log in across all their websites. This is especially problematic when considering the number of companies that have experienced breaches that resulted in stolen passwords within the last few years.

Digital Security Tips

To help consumers stay secure, the CASC offers

these tips:

•Look for “https” in the address bar. The “s” means it’s secure. You should also see a padlock symbol. For an added sign that the site is authentic, look for the green browser bar and the website’s name to appear in green.

•Update your browser to the latest version, which addresses the most current online risks.

•If your browser gives you a message about an untrusted security certificate for a website, don’t proceed.

•Wherever possible, don’t allow an organization to keep your payment information on file. To learn more, visit www.casecurity.org.

Consumers are flooded with weight loss options that promise to help them lose weight and keep it off. But which programs actu-ally work? Do any weight loss programs have scien-tific evidence to back up their claims? And most impor-tantly, are there programs that offer tools to help people with sustainable weight loss? Dr. Timothy Church, MD,

MPH, PH.D., chief medi-cal officer for ACAP Health Consulting, professor and director of the Laboratory of Preventive Medicine at Pennington Biomedical Re-search Center and a member of the Jenny Craig Science Advisory Board, recom-mends that before people engage in a program, they should do their research and rely on evidence-based ap-proaches for support. He offers the following tips for selecting a weight loss pro-gram:

Hear from the experts. Read up on the latest in medical research. Recently, a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine, the es-teemed journal published by the American College of Phy-sicians, suggests doctors con-sider recommending Jenny Craig’s weight loss solution to their patients. Jenny Craig was identified as one of the most effective weight loss programs based on evidence that its participants achieved greater sustained weight loss at 12 months, relative to

control groups. “The authors recognize the importance of sound scientific research for physician referral to weight loss programs,” said Dr. Church. “Their recom-mendation of top weight loss programs, including Jenny Craig, for physician referral is a win for clinicians who are struggling to provide their patients with clinically proven options to help them achieve their weight and health goals.”

Consult your physician. Ask your doctor about the pro-grams that do have data to back up their claims. Discuss options that align with your health and weight loss goals that also take into consider-ation your lifestyle and per-sonal preferences. Most cli-nicians will encourage you to achieve a reasonable amount of weight loss, in the range of 5 to 10 percent of your initial weight, as research shows it can reduce the risk of many conditions such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and type 2 diabetes.

Find a coach. While some people achieve results through self-directed weight loss and exercise programs, many benefit from the added support that comes from a personal coach. Consider a program that incorporates coaching to help you address your motivational drivers, personal goals and unique obstacles that might arise. For example, a personal consultant can offer tips on managing stress eating, din-ing out, or cooking at home to help meet your weight loss goals.

According to Dr. Church, “While obesity continues to be a significant health risk in the U.S., it’s clear that be-havioral change is the foun-dation for sustainable weight loss and successful lifestyle change. Personal support can be a very powerful tool in achieving that goal.”

Use the tips above to gain both the knowledge and confidence you need to take that important first step and begin your successful weight loss journey.

Soft, smooth, fresh and flaw-less – it’s how parents envision their baby’s skin. Your little one may be born with perfect skin, but protecting that perfection requires work. “The skin acts as a protective barrier, and many environmental factors can affect a baby’s skin,” says Dr. Dyan Hes, medical direc-tor of Gramercy Pediatrics in New York City and a pediatrics expert who’s been featured in media ranging from CBS This Morning to the Wall Street Journal and TIME Magazine. “Allergens, UV exposure, heat and even the laundry deter-gent parents use to wash baby’s clothing can all irritate an in-fant’s skin.”

The arrival of warm weather often comes with an increase in rashes and skin irritation for infants. Fortunately, par-ents can take steps to help

protect their baby’s skin from common irritants. Hes recom-mends parents focus on a few key areas:

Shield baby’s skin from the sun

Melanoma, the most common form of skin cancer, accounts for about 3 percent of all child-hood cancers, and just five sunburns in childhood raises lifetime melanoma risks by 80 percent, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

“Always apply a sunscreen specifically designed for use on infants whenever you take your baby outdoors, even on over-cast days,” Hes says. “If you’re not sure what sunscreen to use, talk to your pediatrician. Keep in mind that you can only use sunscreen on infants 6 months and older. Until then you must keep your baby in the shade or provide your little one with a hat and UV protected cloth-ing.” Parents can also shield

babies from the sun with hats, long sleeves, covered strollers and sun shields in vehicle win-dows.

Be aware of irritants lurking in laundry

“Infants can be exposed to skin irritants in their own homes,” Hes says. “In fact, laundry detergents are a com-mon cause of contact derma-titis – red, itchy bumps that develop on a baby’s skin wher-ever it comes in contact with clothing.”Hes recommends expectant and new parents use a laundry detergent that’s hypoallergenic and specifically designed to be gentle on baby’s

skin, such as Dreft. Trusted by parents and pediatricians for more than 80 years, Dreft has launched a line of products that match the stages of baby-hood. Dreft Stage 1: Newborn is for very young babies and ex-pectant families who want to care for their little one’s cloth-ing – and skin – with the fa-miliar hypoallergenic formula that parents and pediatricians have trusted for decades. As babies grow and become more active and mobile, Dreft Stage 2: Active Baby helps parents of babies 5 months and older remove 99 percent of baby food stains and other outdoor messes while still providing

gentle, hypoallergenic clean-ing. Parents of older children who still crave that new-baby scent for their laundry, can turn to Dreft Blissfuls – an in-wash scent booster (like dryer beads) that imparts that baby fresh scent to fabrics. Visit www.dreft.com to learn more and to view tips for doing ba-by’s laundry.

Help them handle the heatWarm weather can affect

infants’ skin in multiple ways. Exposure to heat and chlori-nated water can dry out their skin. Babies may also develop a heat rash – an uncomfort-able, red, prickly rash that can appear on a baby’s face, neck or bottom. And intertrigo – a raw, oozy red rash that appears in skin folds – can show up at any time of year, but may get even worse in summer. This can be bacterial or fungal, so it’s important to check with your doctor if you see a rash appear in those areas.

To keep baby’s skin from drying, apply a gentle mois-turizer specifically designed for infants. Treat any existing rash with petroleum jelly or a moisturizer designed for in-fant dermatitis. Dress babies in comfortable, loose, light-weight clothing to help pre-vent prickly heat. Wash little ones with water and a gentle baby soap to prevent dermati-tis. Note that over-bathing can lead to dry skin and rashes as well, so make sure your baby does not bathe more than 2-3 times per week.

“You should always con-sult your pediatrician when-ever your baby has a rash or other health condition that concerns you,” Hes advises. “Some simple precautions, such as using a moisturizer and a hypoallergenic, gentle laundry detergent, can help parents keep their baby’s skin protected.”

Food waste is a major issue that affects the envi-ronment, economy and food security. In fact, ac-cording to the Natural Resources Defense Council, American families throw out approximately 25 percent of the food and beverages they buy – the equivalent of about $1,500 wasted each year. As for the major causes of this food waste, the NRDC points to improper or suboptimal storage, poor visibility in refrigerators, partially used ingredients and misjudged food needs.

While the issue continues to grow, there are ways for everyone to address these causes and reverse the negative effects food waste has on the environ-ment and the economy—and many people are already making small efforts to do so. According to Glad Food Protection’s Fridge to Fork survey, 87 percent of Americans say they are taking steps to preserve their grocery store purchases, or are find-ing ways to prepare them for later consumption, helping reduce food waste in their homes.

With the coming of warmer temperatures, fresh ingredients will be in ample supply and proper food preparation and protection will be essential to keep fresh foods on the plate and out of the bin. Help combat food waste and keep your food fresher longer with these tips for properly storing your food the day you buy it:

Fruit Whole watermelon should be left at room temperature until ripe then stored whole and un-covered in the refrigerator. Once cut, store cut wa-termelon halves or slices in a zippered plastic bag and refrigerate.

• Do not wash berries before storing. Place in a single layer in a shallow bowl or into the bottom of a large food protection container lined with paper towels. Cover with plastic wrap or seal the container tightly.

Veggies Store whole heads of lettuce loosely wrapped in a zipper bag. Once cut, lettuce should be kept in a zipper bag or container. Add a lightly dampened paper towel to keep lettuce crisp.

• If still in the husk, refrigerate corn uncovered. Once the husk has been removed, wrap corn cobs tightly in plastic wrap before refrigerating. Raw or cooked kernels can be stored in contain-ers, such as GladWare food protection containers.

• Place fresh whole broccoli heads in a large zip-per bag, and poke several holes in the bag to al-low ventilation. To store cut broccoli, remove the woody stems and cut the rest into florets. Soak in lightly salted water to remove dirt and grit, and dry thoroughly. Place into a storage container.

Meat Keep ground beef in its original packag-ing until ready to use. If opening before using, wrap meat or beef patties securely in plastic wrap. Ground beef should be used within 1-2 days.

• Wrap individual pieces of poultry in Glad ClingWrap, and place into a container or zip-per bag. To prevent juices from leaking on other food, store poultry on the lowest refrigerator shelf. Poultry should be used within 1-2 days.

• Thoroughly remove excess moisture from fish with paper towels. Place fillets in a container lined with paper towels. If necessary, stack fillets be-tween rows of paper towels. Cover with another paper towel and seal container. If possible, place storage container on a bed of crushed ice inside a larger container. Fish should be used within 2 days.

OAKLAND, Calif. - On Tuesday the Oak-land City Council Public Safety Committee considers far-reaching privacy rules after protests forced the committee to scale back a large surveillance plan.

The Domain Awareness Center would have linked video feeds from public schools, hous-ing projects, traffic cameras, the port, airport and all major intersections with data from fa-cial recognition software, license plate readers and gunshot spotter microphones.

But two months ago, the council restricted the system to just the port and airport.

Privacy activist Brian Hofer says people should be able to drive around without being tracked, and hold a conversation on a street corner without being recorded.

“We need to decide what are the appropri-ate uses of this equipment, if any,” he says. “We need to make that clear up front before we waste time and resources and get equip-ment that the community ends up opposing.”

The privacy policy would activate the system only in times of emergency, put restrictions on who may view the data and limit how long it can be kept. It would also establish a perma-nent privacy committee.

Hofer says there is little proof that large-scale surveillance solves much crime.

“If you’re infringing upon our right to pri-vacy and we’re not getting crime solving ben-efits, then the balance is tipped in favor of dis-continuing use,” he says.

The system started as a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Se-curity to protect the Port of Oakland, and was later expanded to cover the entire city.

San Jose CALIFORNIA

On May 26, the County of Santa Clara and the Silicon Valley Small Business De-velopment Center (SBDC) hosted a Small Business Summit to address financ-ing and procurement needs of local small businesses and to help stimulate economic growth in the South Bay.

The Summit is part of a re-gional SBDC effort to help entrepreneurs in Northern California develop growth strategies that can trans-form small businesses by ac-cessing the financing needed to expand, increase sales and create and retain jobs locally.

The panels offered an insid-er’s perspective on how to se-cure small business financ-ing through traditional and alternative methods and how to access contracting opportunities with federal, state and local government agencies.

The Silicon Valley SDBC

provides no-cost consult-ing services and trainings throughout Santa Clara County. The SBDC is a pro-gram of the U.S. Small Busi-ness Administration (SBA) and is part of a national net-work of nearly 1,000 centers in the country providing

technical assistance to en-trepreneurs. Dennis King, director of the Silicon Valley SBDC and the Hispanic SBDC Satellite, said he the summit drew up-wards of 300 small business attendees. In addition to the panels, the program includ-

ed multiple small business-focused workshops and local speakers with an interest in economic growth.

“The purpose of [this] event is to give entrepreneurs in Santa Clara County the sup-port, resources and knowl-

edge they need to grow their business,” said Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA17).

“We have had so many part-ners lend their support to development of our Small Business Summit that it’s been an overwhelming and

exciting collaboration,” King said, adding that he is par-ticularly grateful to Santa Clara County supervisors and the California State Board of Equalization for their support and participa-tion.

In his State of the County Address in January, Santa Clara County Board of Su-pervisors President Dave Cortese called for a continu-ation of the dialogue the county initiated with the business community in a se-ries of Business Summits in 2012. This Small Business Summit is an important step towards fulfillment of that goal.

“Santa Clara County has long been a champion of supporting and sustaining small businesses,” Cortese said.

San Jose’s number of bicycles Increases from

129 to 1,000

The Metropolitan Trans-portation Commission voted unanimously on Wednesday, May 27, to expand the Bay Area BikeShare program, in-creasing the number of bicy-cles from 700 to 7,000 at sta-tions in eight cities and giving special consideration to dis-advantaged neighborhoods. The action taken at the MTC

meeting in Oakland, autho-rized MTC administration to contract with Motivate Inter-national to add bike stations in the five cities currently in the program – San Jose, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Red-wood City and San Francisco – and start the program in Oakland, Berkeley and Em-eryville.

The expansion will be done without using public money and makes the Bay Area

BikeShare the 2nd largest in the country. Motivate will fund the costs through cor-porate sponsorship agree-ment. Members pay a fee to rent the bikes.

San Jose’s number of bikes will increase from 129 to 1,000, and the public will have a say in where the new bike stations are located. Santa Clara County Board President Dave Cortese, who is chair of the Metropolitan

Transportation Commission, was reassured by Motivate officials that there would be a public hearing process.

“Twenty percent of the bike stations will be installed

in low-income neighbor-hoods, offering the service to a broader population of riders,” Cortese said. “Those residents especially need a strong voice in what will work best for them to in-crease bicycle ridership.”

Cortese also asked Motivate officials to take into consider-ation that parts of San Jose may not fit the urban density model that the company has been focusing on, giving as example the BART extension that will open in the subur-ban Berryessa area of San Jose in 2017.

“We want BikeShare to create connection points be-tween transit stops, whether or not they fall into a density map,” Cortese said.

The cities will also need to approve agreements with Motivate.

“This is perhaps the greatest public private partnership we have accomplished here at the MTC because it involves the rising star of transporta-tion--the bike,” Cortese said in thanking the MTC staff.

Launched in 2013 as a pilot program, the California’s first regional bike sharing service currently has 4,500 annual members and 25,000 casual members who use the mint-colored bikes for short trips.

AVISO PÚBLICOLA CUARTA REVISIÓN DE CINCO AÑOS DE LIMPIEZA EN EL SITIO

SUPERFUND LORENTZ BARREL AND DRUM EMPIEZA

La Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos (EPA, por sus siglas en inglés) inició la cuarta Revisión de Cinco Años (FYR) para el Sitio Superfund Lorentz Barrel and Drum en San Jose, CA. La EPA es la agencia principal que supervisa las investigaciones ambientales y las acciones de limpieza, que siguen en camino, en el sitio. El propósito principal de esta revisión es confirmar que las acciones de limpieza en el sitio continúan protegiendo la salud humana y el medioambiente.

El Proceso de RevisiónCuando las acciones de limpieza de la EPA dejan contaminación en su lugar en un sitio y por eso no permiten su uso sin restricciones, la ley Superfund requiere una revisión cada cinco años de la seguridad del remedio. Durante la revisión, la EPA evaluará si el remedio está logrando las metas de limpieza del sitio además de cambios en los riesgos potenciales, regulaciones, y conocimiento científico sobre las contaminantes en el sitio. Se realizaron tres revisiones anteriores para este sitio in 2000, 2005, y 2010.

Historia del SitioEl sitio se ubica en 1515 South Tenth Street en San Jose en una parcela de siete acres. Comenzando en 1947, la fábrica histórica de reciclaje de tambores recibió más que dos millones de tambores de más de 3,000 partidos hasta que fue cerrada en julio de 1987 por una acción tribunal llevada por el Departamento de Servicios de Salud de California (DHS). Mientras que estaba en operación, la fábrica recibió tambores que tenían varios tipos de químicos peligrosos. Los tambores fueron reacondicionados por una variedad de métodos, y los residuos y los materiales de limpieza fueron desechados hacia depresiones y cuencas en el sitio que drenaron hacia los suelos y la alcantarilla local de aguas pluviales. Después, los tambores fueron devueltos al dueño original o fueron vendidos. En 1989, se agregó el sitio a la Lista de Prioridades Nacionales de la EPA (NPL). Desde los fines de los 1980s hasta el inicio de los 1990s, la EPA realizó varias acciones para sacar los desechos y excavar los suelos contaminados del sitio. En 1998, la EPA firmó un Registro de Decisión (ROD) con un grupo de partidos potencialmente responsables que requirió que los partidos bombeen y traten el agua subterránea contaminada. Este sistema ha sido en operación desde 1992 y continúa evitando que dispersa el agua subterránea.

InvolúcreseSi tiene preocupaciones o preguntas sobre el sitio, la EPA le gustaría hablar con usted. Para programar una entrevista, por favor póngase en contacto con Heather Parker (hispanohablante), Coordinadora de Participación Comunitaria, a (415) 972-3112 o por correo electrónico a [email protected] para programar una cita antes del 19 de junio de 2015. El informe para la Revisión de Cinco Años será finalizado para el 30 de septiembre de 2015 y será disponible en la red después de esta fecha a: www.epa.gov/region09/lorentzbarrel&drum.

Community Health Centers now are the primary point of care for more than 23 million Americans - with 1,000 clinics in California alone.

Many centers are using an integrated care model that takes into account the person’s life as a whole, not just their medi-cal concerns. Some have taken a one-stop-shopping approach, where patients can see a doctor but also get help for underly-ing social problems such as housing issues, poverty, hunger or depression.

Karen McGlinn, chief executive of Share Our Selves, runs five nonprofit clinics in Orange County where case managers look at body, mind and spirit - and connect patients with the right programs.

“We have a food bank, we have financial aid available, legal law clinics, a lot of special programs that deal with care for the homeless, the mentally ill,” she said. “So we integrate all those challenges into the delivery of our health-care process.”

Health centers started as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty 50 years ago. These federally qualified health centers are nonprofits that accept Medi-Cal and private insur-ance, and often raise millions in private donations to cover ex-penses for those who cannot afford it.

Open Door Community Health Centers serve 80,000 pa-tients in northwest California near the Oregon border. CEO Hermann Spetzler said the clinics include a community gar-den, a playground, an exercise circuit and hiking trails - all to inspire people to eat more vegetables and get a move on.

“So it is not unusual for a patient to get a prescription that says three times a week we want you to come to the garden and do about 45 minutes worth of gardening, do the exercise routine that we’ve suggested,” he said, “and their vital signs are recorded and added to their chart.”

Community health centers are really embracing the concept of wellness - beating back chronic illnesses such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease - one patient at a time.

Location: 12th and Produce- Stall #420

“To come to the flea market is like going to an outdoor mall; you get sunshine, you get different types of food, everything from every back-ground,” says José Delgadillo, a produce vendor at Berryes-sa Flea Market. Delgadillo is proud to call Produce Row at the Flea Market the “home base” for his wholesale and retail produce business, Del-gadillo’s Produce. Born and raised in San José, he says that the family business has been a satisfying experience for over 30 years.

Delgadillo recalls that the family business began when he was 5 years old. “My fa-ther at one point worked at a cannery for a few years and saw that there was po-tential in the fruit business, and started off with a table of cherries, and oranges.” From these roots it flourished into something bigger.

Delgadillo’s family, in-cluding his siblings and his daughter, all work within the family business. “Here we are, for quite a long time here at the Berryessa flea market. My father started the busi-ness and here I am, taking over.”

Delgadillo says the reasons for continuing to keep his business at the Flea Market has to do with the love for the job, and the cohesion between the vendors and the eclectic community that comes to shop and enjoy weekends there.

“We’re out here in the open air and there’s people from every background” says Del-gadillo. The sheer number of different products and ser-vices for sale allow all types of people to come looking for anything, including Del-gadillo’s fresh produce. “You can find nails, fruits, records and honey. You find it all here.”

Part of this communal spirit is the price margins and low overhead costs, which Delga-dillo says allows him to give the freshest products at rea-sonable prices to consumers, who in turn become repeat customers. “Our produce is a lot cheaper. Fresher. What-ever’s not in season here we get it from Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, all around the world. You go to Safeway, and you really cant find all that stuff there.”

The ethnic foods that sell year-round at the massive Produce Row, which include Delgadillo’s stand, give this place an edge on other mar-kets and big box stores. Cus-

tomers requesting specific ethnic fruits and vegetables over the years led to the in-creasing demand, and ulti-mately these foods became staples of the Flea Market’s large array of produce. Del-gadillo gives an example of this effect, “here in the His-panic community, mamey (A fruit from a tree native to Central America) is number one. Thats our number one seller.” He says that along with mamey guavas are also a highly popular ethnic fruit.

Beyond the varied exotic fruits and vegetables all the favorite staples are located within Produce Row. Del-gadillo’s Produce is located at the corner of 12th Street and Produce, stall # 420. Delgadillo and his families knowledge and commitment to great customer service will surely leave a positive impression with you at day’s end.

They accepts major credit cards, debit cards, food stamps and EBT forms of payment. Delgadillo adds that they are at the Flea Mar-ket every Saturday and Sun-day, rain or shine. If you’re curious to try something new, fresh and even chat with José Delgadillo, you know where to find him.

As you drive down 280 South, after 4pm or so, you’ll see one. Then another, then a few more after that. Last week it was 26 for me, with the last two getting onto 280 North by way of De Anza Boulevard. Something clicked when I saw them. They are part of a system that has brought wealth, in-novation and poised our Bay Area as a mecca of technol-ogy and start-ups. These are the tools of commuters. They are sleek, with tinted windows and usually with-out any indication of com-pany insignia. Yet there’s a downside.

I thought about the vari-ous heated protests and condemnation of areas in San Francisco where these buses were heading to and fro everyday. Stoping at busy MUNI stops and al-

lowing affluent tech work-ers to move into neighbor-hoods that in turn shot rent up. An analysis of these events, “Google Bus and Spatial Justice-A Call for Greater Social Responsibil-ity in Urban Governance” by Rosanne de Koning of the University of Amsterdam states “the buses are luxury coach buses that feature on board WiFi, air condition-ing, electrical outlets, and other amenities to make its riders comfortable, allowing them to continue their work during their commute while at the same time decreasing commuting time. In 2012, Google owned 73 of these $800,000 buses, and leased an additional 13 to trans-port some 4,500 employ-ees.” Because of this most of the time the reference to a “Google Bus” can be towards any of these tech buses.

More so, and getting to the point at which it becomes a

social problem, is as Koning states “the marginalization of public space has a deterio-rating effect on urban space and creates unjust geogra-phies,” and references these buses as “vehicles of gentri-fication.”

Essentially, a greater un-derstanding of the neigh-borhoods and these effects is needed to gauge how to han-dle gentrification and the dislocation of the original communities. Gentrification is not bad by all means. The part that’s bad is the influx of rent raises and congestion, a decimation of the original communities.

Recently, while walking through the Mission Dis-trict I saw drastic changes, a “start-up” type of commu-nity forging itself with the folks that have long resided in the culturally diverse and very ethnic area. Stickers that say “stop Airbnb” (a

lodging app/site) and gen-erally negative talk about “techies” and the tech buses.

I say, good or bad, lo-cal governments, citizens and companies must look towards both the commu-nity that has molded these neighborhoods and their human rights in regards to

housing, as well as the trans-plants who look to call these areas home. There has to be a happy medium.

I offer you the reader to please write and give your opinion and viewpoints on the issue. [email protected].

WASHINGTON, DC

La Agencia Federal Medio-ambiental (EPA) anunció el miercoles la eliminación de cláusulas de la Ley de Aire Limpio que permitían a con-taminadores en 36 estados emitir enormes cantidades de sustancias tóxicas a co-munidades aledañas durante reinicios, pausas y averías (conocidos como SSM en in-glés) en sus instalaciones.

Durante décadas, los SSM han sido criticados por gru-pos de salud pública y de

justicia medioambiental por ser peligrosos regalos a los contaminadores que han af-ectado a comunidades vul-nerables, las cuales a menu-do son hispanas. Algunas instalaciones, como plantas de combustión de carbón y refinerías petroleras, han emitido más contaminación durante periodos de SSM que durante sus horas nor-males de operación durante un año entero. Esto ha pre-sentado una gran amenaza a la salud de personas que su-fren de asma, y a los niños y los ancianos que se exponen

sin saber al salir de sus hog-ares.

La EPA eliminará estas cláusulas exigiendo a 36 esta-dos que revisen las leyes que eximen los periodos de SSM de la Ley de Aire Limpio y permiten a los contamina-dores eludir responsabili-dades por repetidas violacio-nes. La decisión de la EPA refleja años de arduo trabajo por parte de ciudadanos, grupos medioambientales y defensores legales de todo el país, los cuales han luchado para proteger a comunidades

afectadas y urgido a la EPA a eliminar estas fallas en la ley.

Como respuesta, el director ejecutivo del Sierra Club, Michael Brune, emitió el

siguiente comunicado:

“Hoy aplaudimos a la ad-ministración Obama por lograr una significativa vic-toria para la justicia medio-ambiental actuando para proteger mejor a nuestras comunidades contra la pelig-rosa contaminación del aire.

“Durante demasiados años, los barrios aledaños a las sucias refinerías petroleras, plantas de carbón y otras fuentes de contaminación han quedado casi desam-paradas ante emisiones tóxi-cas, como dióxido de azufre y hollín. Con demasiada frecuencia, las comunidades que confrontan esta contam-inación son hispanas.

“Gracias a la decisión de la administración y a la lucha

de innumerables grupos y activistas, nuestras familias podrán tomarse un respiro”.

El Sierra Club es la mayor y más influyente organización medioambiental de base en Estados Unidos y cuenta con 2.4 millones de miembros y seguidores en todo el país. Además de crear oportuni-dades para que personas de todas las edades, niveles y localizaciones tengan opor-

tunidad de disfrutar de la naturaleza, el Sierra Club se esfuerza en salvaguardar la salud de nuestras comuni-dades, proteger la vida silves-tre, y preservar los restantes parajes naturales por medio de activismo de base, edu-cación pública, cabildeo y en las cortes. Para más infor-mación visite:

While you’re frolicking through summer fun, are you thinking about your health? Looking good is most satisfy-ing when you’re also feeling your best. It’s easy to look great and protect your health. You just need to choose the right accessories.

Here are five must-have ac-cessories that will help you look great while protecting your eyes, skin and body from sun damage this summer.

* Sunglasses – The sun can damage more than skin; ex-posure to UV radiation over

many years can increase cata-ract risks, and possibly dam-age your retinas, according to the American Optometric As-sociation. If you’re an eyeglass wearer, it can be difficult to find a fashionable, affordable option for protecting your eyes from the sun. Solar Shield Sun-glasses and ClipOns fit eas-ily over your everyday glasses, look great, and are more rea-sonably priced and convenient than expensive prescription sunglasses. The accessories are polarized to reduce blinding glare and block 100 percent of harmful UVA and UVB rays. While prescription sunglasses can be so costly you would buy only one pair at a time, Solar

Shield products are affordable enough to keep multiple pairs around – in the car, your gym bag, etc. Visit www.solarshield.com to learn more.

* Smart, supportive footwear – Summer cries out for comfy flip flops and sassy sandals. But while you’re showing off

your pedicure or enjoying the feeling of fresh air on your toes, you also need to protect your feet from hot sand and the risk of sprains, strains, fractures and irritation that can come

from poor footwear choices. When choosing flip flops or sandals, look for styles made of high-quality soft leather to minimize rubbing and blis-ters. Shoe soles should bend at the ball of the foot, but you shouldn’t be able to completely twist the shoe. Flip flops with extra padding in the thong part that fits between your toes will be more comfortable, and a thicker sole will provide more support and protection for the soles of your feet.

* A hat – Even if you don’t consider yourself a hat person, summer is a great time to be

exploring this time-honored accessory. Many styles, colors and materials are available and most will do a good job of protecting your head, face and shoulders from the sun. Keep in mind that styles with wider brims will shield more of your face and body, while lighter colors will do a better job of reflecting heat.

With the right gear for sum-mer, it’s possible to take care of your health – eyes to toes – and look great at the same time.

Go to the seafood counter or local restaurant and over 91 per-cent of the seafood is shipped from thousands of miles away. If you are looking for a source of safe, sustainable, high quality, local seafood, you’re probably having difficulty finding it.

In the U.S., the aquaculture industry works closely with gov-ernment agencies and academic institutions to help ensure that fish and shellfish farmed in the United States meet the highest standards for environmental practices, sustainability and food safety, according to Mike Freeze, president of the Na-tional Aquaculture Association.

Aquaculture or fish farming is the production of marine and freshwater organisms under controlled conditions for all or part of the life cycle.

Some fish, like catfish and tilapia, can be raised in ponds. This is probably the earliest form of aquaculture and was practiced in China and Egypt about 3,000 years ago. Fish like trout need moving freshwater and are raised in raceways. In raceways, the water is diverted from a natural source, flows through the system and is then returned to the source.

Aquaculture is one of the most efficient ways to raise animal protein and shows great promise as a way to feed a growing and hungry world without compromising environmental quality. In 1979, Jacques Cousteau, an advocate for the marine environment, said, “We must plant the sea and herd its ani-mals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about - farming replacing hunting.”

The farming of oysters, clams and mussels helps to main-tain environmental quality. Algae can grow rapidly during the summer and cause a “bloom.” When the bloom dies off, a high volume of the oxygen in the water is used. Because shellfish feed on algae, they can help keep the ecosystem system in bal-ance so that more oxygen is available for other organisms. In addition, because of the three-dimensional structure of their shells, they provide habitats and hiding places for other ani-mals.

Aquaculture has another important benefit - sustainability. Some species like sturgeon are facing extinction in the wild, but aquaculture is helping to ensure that future generations will still be able to enjoy both sturgeon and caviar. Another fish that is rapidly disappearing from its natural habitat is At-lantic salmon, but aquaculture is making it plentiful on menus and at seafood counters.

Fish produced in the United States are regulated from breed-ing to harvest and then through the processing and distribu-tion steps. Fish farmers must follow a strict set of federal, state and, in some cases, local regulations. Those regulations pro-hibit the use of added hormones and antibiotics to enhance growth. Only a few drugs have been approved and must be used under the direction of a licensed veterinarian.

Many environmental organizations place U.S. farm-raised fish and shellfish on their “Best Seafood Choices” lists. U.S. farm-raised fish and shellfish are good choices for the envi-ronment and, because prices and supply are stable, they can provide a great-tasting, healthy, sustainable option for dinner. Visit the National Aquaculture Association website at www.thenaa.net to learn more.

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released this statement following the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit decision to maintain an injunction on the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program:

“Today, two Fifth Circuit judges decided to continue to block the President’s Immigration Accountability Executive Actions and defer the dreams of hard-working immigrant families across America. Their decision represents a disappointing delay of a clear outcome.

“The fact is, the President’s executive actions fall well within the clear precedent set by Presidents of both parties, including strong executive actions taken by President Ronald Reagan and President George H.W. Bush, for the last 50 years.

“Now is the time to restore fairness to our immigration system and honor the best traditions of our country by passing comprehensive immigration reform. Just days after we commemorated DAPA day, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring that all families have a chance to thrive. Despite this disappointing setback, we remain confident in the bipartisan precedent set by 50 years of American Presidents. President Obama’s executive actions will be upheld.”

“Entourage”, la esperada versión cinematográfica de la exitosa y premiada serie de HBO, reúne al célebre elenco original de la serie, liderado por Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara y Jeremy Piven.

¿Alguna vez viajaste por Sunset Boulevard en una limusina de lujo y luego pisaste la alfombra roja en un estreno cinematográfico lleno de estrellas? ¿Pasaste por una fi-esta espontánea en la playa en Malibú, donde el sol brilla siempre y fluyen los cócteles? ¿Conseguiste la mejor mesa en el restaurante más popular en la ciudad, sin necesitar reservación? Y mientras tanto, vayas donde vayas, actrices hermosas pas-an junto a ti.

Vivir el sueño de Hollywood es la fantasia de todos, pero Vince, Eric, Drama, Turtle y Ari Gold lo hacen de verdad, y lo hacen parecer muy fácil. Vaya, los chicos de “Entourage” saben cómo hacerlo y hacerlo bien, cómo soñar en grande, y vivir más grande aún.

Para llevar a los chicos y su estilo de vida envidiable de acceso y excesos a la pantalla grande, el autor/direc-tor/productor Doug Ellin, que creó la exitosa serie de HBO en la cual se basa la pelicula, sabia que el lar-gometraje “Entourage” tenia que ser aún más grande; una tarea nada fácil, considerando todo el terreno que cubrieron antes. “Aunque la serie fue una serie importante con muchas locaciones, queria llevar la pelicula a

otro nivel, asi que es ‘Entourage’ en esteroides, con yates, casas y aviones glamorosos, y los desafios para to-dos son mayores que nunca”.

Desde los primeros segundos del primer episodio en 2004, los es-pectadores siguieron al chofer/mensajero Turtle cuando salia de su Hummer amarillo y caminaba distraidamente a través de una can-tidad de mujeres atractivas de Hol-lywood a un restaurante de moda en Melrose Avenue, donde se en-contraba con sus amigos de Queens, Nueva York: el lider de facto del cuarteto, la prometedora estrella de cine Vincent Chase; el ex repartidor

de pizza convertido en represent-ante de talento, Eric Murphy; y el medio hermano de Vince, el actor desempleado de baja categoria Johnny “Drama” Chase. La misión momentánea de Turtle: que Vince autografie un póster de su primera pelicula para mantener contento a su vendedor local.

Corte a 2015, y, con un cielo azul completamente despejado, “Entou-rage” empieza con el trio familiar del representante convertido en pro-ductor de cine Eric, el chofer conver-tido en magnate de tequila Turtle, y Drama, el actor que todavia trabaja a veces. Pero esta vez navegan el mar

abierto en un una lancha rápida, y su destino es un yate de lujo enorme fr-ente a la costa de Ibiza, donde Vince, el actor prometedor convertido en mega estrella, “está haciendo el due-lo” del deceso de su matrimonio de cinco dias, rodeado por casi 200 de sus conocidos más cercanos... princi-palmente de la variedad femenina con poca ropa. Pero no seria una fiesta sin sus amigos, y claramente la fiesta ha regresado.

“Entourage“ será

estrenada el 5 de junio de 2015.

Partido de VueltaDomingo 31 de mayo

9:30 pm E/ 8:30 pm C/ 6:30 pm P

LOS ÁNGELES, CA

Por primera vez en la historia Querétaro y Santos Laguna se enfrentarán por el título del Fútbol Mexicano, una final inédita que podrás vivir por Azteca America, La Casa de la Final de la Liga MX! Partido de de Vuelta, domingo 9:30 pm E/ 8:30 pm C/ 6:30 pm P.

Estos dos equipos, que hasta apenas unas semanas estaban

por quedar fuera de la Liguilla remontaron de manera sor-presiva, el próximo jueves se medirán en el partido de “ida” en el Estadio Corona, para hacer lo debido en la “vuelta” en La Corregidora.

Dos equipos que han venido de menos a más, dos equipos que hasta apenas unas cuan-tas jornadas se encontraban en lo más bajo de la tabla hoy luchan por la corona del fút-bol mexicano.

Siendo la tercera Liguilla que juegan en su vida como club, los Gallos Blancos del

Querétaro llegan por prim-era vez a la final de un torneo de Primera División, sin em-bargo el cuadro queretano cuenta con 3 títulos en Prim-era “A” (Clausura 2005, Clau-sura 2006 y Apertura 2008) sumados a sus 2 finales de Ascenso donde obtuvieron la

victoria (2005-6 y 2008-9).

Pese a estos resultados, des-de el 2011 los queretanos no acariciaban el sueño de jugar una final en el Máximo Circui-to, en esa ocasión los Tigres les arrebataron las esperanzas en la semifinal. De esta firma, los dirigidos por Víctor Manuel Vucetich han llegado a la final del Clausura 2015 después de dejar en el camino a los Tuzos del Pachuca con un marcador global de 2-2, siendo el boleto para la final su posición en la tabla general en la cual super-aron a los Tuzos por puntaje.

Después de caer en la “ida”

2-0, Querétaro remontó y fue el astro brasileño, Ronaldinho, quien firmó el pase a la final con dos asistencias contra Pa-chuca, la primera con un pase de Sepúlveda al minuto 12 y la segunda con un pase para Jon-athan Bornstein al minuto 49.

Cabe mencionar que Vuce-tich llega por séptima vez a una final de Liga Mexicana de Primera División y la única que perdió fue contra Santos Laguna, los rivales a vencer en este 2015.

Y es precisamente el equipo lagunero el cual busca su quinto título en Liga MX, después de hacerlo en los torneos Invierno 96, Verano 2001, Clausura 2008 y Clau-sura 2012

Santos Laguna, que es actu-almente el campeón de Copa MX, llegó hasta este punto tras golear 3-0 en el partido de vuelta a las Chivas del Gua-

dalajara el domingo pasado, siendo este mismo resultado el marcador global.

Con goles por parte de Djaniny al minuto 38, de Iz-quierdoz al 55 y de Néstor Calderón al 67, el equipo di-rigido por Pedro Caixinha se impuso en Guadalajara y ob-tuvo el pase que puede darle su quinta gloria.

Como dato adicional, San-tos y Querétaro sólo se han enfrentado en una ocasión en Liguilla. Fue en el Torneo Apertura 2013 donde en los Cuartos de Final los Guer-reros se impusieron en “ida” y “Vuelta” con un marcador global de 6-3.

The 11-year veteran becomes just ninth MLS player to hit

milestone

San jose CALIFORNIA

Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski tallied his 100th career MLS goal on Sunday May 24th to give San Jose a 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC at Levi’s® Stadium. With the draw, the Earthquakes extended their unbeaten streak to five games, tied for the longest active streak in MLS and tied for the longest streak by any Western Conference team this season.

In the 12th minute, Quakes midfielder Shea Salinas played a give-and-go with Matias Perez Garcia inside Orlando City’s penalty area and ripped a shot towards net, but his attempt was cor-ralled by keeper Tally Hall.

Salinas created another scor-ing opportunity for himself in the 22nd minute. After receiving a through ball from forward Adam Jahn, Salinas stormed up the left side of the pitch and had a one-on-one with the keeper, but the nar-row shooting angle proved too difficult as his left-footed

shot went into the side net-ting.

In the 51st minute, Orlando City went down when mid-fielder Brek Shea was sent off with a straight red after mis-timing his tackle on Quakes midfielder Sanna Nyassi.

Orlando City SC took a 1-0 lead in the 64th minute. Af-ter a penalty was called, Or-lando City midfielder Kaka converted from the spot to give the away side the advan-tage.

San Jose drew level just four minutes later when defender Jordan Stewart was taken down in the box. Quakes forward Chris Wondolowski stepped up to take it and calmly slotted the penalty

into the bottom-left corner of the net, marking his 100th career goal in MLS. He is just the ninth player to ever reach the century mark in league history. He has now scored in four of the team’s last five matches.

The two teams continued to battle for the remainder of the match, but neither was able to find the deciding goal.

San Jose returns to action on Saturday, May 30, when they travel north of the bor-der to take on Toronto FC. The match will be broadcast live on Comcast SportsNet California, in English on 1590 KLIV and in Spanish on 1370 KZSF, beginning at 2 p.m. PT.
