TESTIMONIO DERESCATISTA QUE
REGRESARÁ A HAITÍ
Por Rosario VitalEl Observador
Un presidente de unacorporación tec-nológica y un con-
serje tienen algo en común en elValle del Silicio: Son inmi-grantes que contribuyen a laeconomía de California.
Un reciente reporte publi-cado recientemente detalla lasvaliosas contribuciones de losinmigrantes en la región deSanta Clara.
El reporte titulado "Perspectivas Futuras: Contribuciónde Inmigrantes al Estado Do-rado" muestra amplias estadísti-cas asi como información localde seis regiones claves comoFresno, San Diego, San José,Área de la Bahía, Inland Empirey el Condado de Orange.
En este reporte se muestrala contribución de impuestos delos inmigrantes, tipos de empre-sarios y número de nuevosvotantes.
En una conferencia deprensa presentada en las afuerasdel municipio de San José, elConcejal Kansen Shu, el Presi-
dente de la Corporación RaziMohiudin, la Directora dePolítica DE SEIU 1877, SylviaRuiz, Directora Ejecutiva de laComunidad Africana, MannaTeaclemariam, David Zhang,Administrador de de New TanDynasty Television. y el Direc-tor Asociado de La Red de Ser-vicios y Educación ParaInmigrantes, Richard Hobbs re-marcaron la importancia de lacontribución, liderazgo y diver-sidad.
El reporte indica que losgastos de los inmigrantes máslas contribuciones de impuestosayudan a la economía de Cali-fornia.
El estudio también indicaque los inmigrantes proveen liderazgo y trabajo para las indus-trias crecientes en California.
Según una encuesta deAmerican Community Surveymás de un cuarto de los resi-dentes de California son inmi-grantes un promedio más quecualquier otro estado en Califor-nia. Más de 9 millones de inmi-grantes residentes sonciudadanos.
"Siempre hay una sensaciónde que los inmigrantes son unacarga en lugar de contribución",dijo Razi Mohiudin, Co-fun-dador de Speed Iron.
En el Área de la Bahía, el 30por ciento de los residentes enSan Francisco, Alameda, ContraCosta y San Mateo son inmi-grantes, en comparación con el27 por ciento de todo el estado.Aproximadamente un tercio deesta población es de ascendencialatina, pero en el Área de laBahía se diferencia de otras re-giones en su mayoría lapoblación es de orgien asiático.“Más de la mitad de los inmi-grantes de la región son de ori-
gen asiático”, dijo ConcejalKansen Chu.
Al igual que el resto de California, cerca de la mitad de losniños en el Área de la Bahíatienen al menos un padre inmi-grante.
La mano de obra de un in-migrante es una parte importanteen los servicios de ali-mentación, mantenimiento,limpieza y otras industrias,según Sylvia Ruiz, represen-tantes de los trabajadores unidosen un sindicato.
Tres cuartas partes de loscocineros de la región son inmi-grantes, como lo son el 58 porciento de los chefs y cocinerosde la cabeza, y el 68 por cientode los lavavajillas. De los traba-jadores nacidos en el extranjeroconstituyen el 84 por ciento delas criadas y los limpiadores decasa, y más del 90 por ciento delos sastres del Área de la Bahía,modistos y operadores demáquinas de coser.
Alrededor del 62 por cientode los inmigrantes mayores de16 años participan en la fuerzade trabajo-la misma tasa que losno inmigrantes, según el in-forme. Los inmigrantes consti-tuyen más de un tercio de lafuerza laboral de la región yaportan alrededor del 22 porciento del producto interno brutodel Área de la Bahía.
Debido a que los númerosse basan en datos del censo, nohay distinción entre inmigranteslegales e ilegales.El informe in-cluye a ambos.
En general, los inmigrantestienden a participar fuertementeen la fuerza de trabajo, y tienenmayores tasas de propiedad dela vivienda. Δ

A NeglectedPriorityLet's go back to the Presidential election 2008
where Barack Obama, candidate, eloquentlytold the people that he would, as a first pri-
ority, address "the people's business." Their concerns,then as now were the lack of jobs and the failure of theAmerican economy to continue to provide opportunityand access to the American Dream. What made Americathe most powerful nation in the world was its economyand its open access to success if one's work was merito-rious.
If one considers the American Consumer Economyas it used to be, there was a time when each of us, re-gardless of ethnicity, social station, or political persua-sion could aspire to beingupwardly mobile. We could con-sider becoming well educated be-yond high school; of owning avehicle and a home. It was possi-ble for any of us to achieve thosegoals through our own honestlabor. Too many of us who hadmiddle class incomes have re-cently joined the ranks of the poorbecause our jobs have been out-sourced to locations where thelabor costs are lower. Too manyof us were injured seriously bythe greed and avarice of the majorfinancial giants who were notmonitored nor regulated. Thesewere the firms that caused the cli-mate of distrust resulting from the excessive valuationof financial instruments called "derivatives." Yet to savethe global financial system, American leaders authorizeda massive bailout, which seems to be successful forthose who are wealthy, have influence and privilege. Butnot for the rest of us who cannot find employment noraspire to being re-educated and re-trained. And for thoseof us living on fixed retirement incomes, our annuitieshave decreased in value resulting in loss of retirementincome. This process has impacted millions of us.
President Obama has three years to prepare for the'Presidential Election 2012'. In fact, there is still time tonot lose additional 2010 mid-term elections. What willraise his administration's approval rating is a focus onthe neglected priorities which impact too many Ameri-cans today. Can the Senate, House and White Housepush measures to change things for the people experi-encing personal financial crisis?
Yes, of course. What is recommended is that therules of purchase contracts be changed throughout thefinancial system. For example, if one purchases a vehi-cle or a home or runs up a student loan which becomesdue, all these contractual obligations need to have a de-fault clause which permits the individual to retain ben-eficial use of the vehicle or home just by payment ofinterest due on the principal sum balance. This wouldeliminate repossession of vehicles and foreclosure ofhomes per the current purchase contract system, whichassumes that employment of the purchaser, is ensuredand constant. In addition, those having student loanscould work off those student loans by accepting posi-
tions in underserved areas and/orpayment of just the interest duewhen underemployed or unem-ployed.
In addition, the Small Busi-ness Administration needs toback up many more unsecuredloans to small businesses, espe-cially those located in areas ex-periencing very highunemployment rates. It is thesmall business entrepreneurswho create jobs, train and em-ploy local residents. The "Micro-Loan Concept" of economicdevelopment used by the WorldBank must be applied to the cur-rent domestic unemployment cri-
sis. It is the small businesses that will resurrect the
American Consumer Economy. Their money trickles up.Well-financed corporations are applying their capital to-wards robotics and automation with the outcome thatproduction is rising while unemployment continues torise. No nationally syndicated economist has com-mented on this trend which indicates that "bailout fund-ing" of major corporations will do very little to diminishthe unemployment statistics. Legislation must be passedto ensure that some manufacturing capacity of all essen-tial goods is retained within this nation.
So the Democratic Party, Congress and the WhiteHouse can still retain their current majority levels ofelected officials if the business of the people is ad-dressed. This is the major 'neglected priority' that mustbe addressed immediately if Obama is to become a two-term president.
Este mes, cuando el Congreso empieza a reconciliar dos diferentetipos de Propuestas de Reforma de Salud en la Cámara de Repre-sentantes y en el Senado, es apropiado estudiar la perspectiva de
la importancia de este momento. Sería poco decir que el camino hacia la Re-forma de Salud ha sido largo y difícil
Una significativa Reforma de Salud debe proporcionar cuidado de saludde fácil acceso, costeable, y de alta calidad. La aprobación de la Reforma escrítica para la salud de la nación y para millones de personas de bajos recursoseconómicos con enfermedades crónicas. Es la meta de millones de personascon enfermedades crónicas que vienen al Capitolio cada año, y la meta de losmillones de quienes no pueden venir, quienes comparten sus historias de luchacon la burocracia en las Compañías de Seguros, personas que por problemasde salud, llegan a la ruina económica, a la ruina por problemas de salud, yaún a la muerte, en un averiado sistema de salud que no funciona. La Reformade Salud es la meta de los funcionarios locales de Condado que luchan paraentregar los servicios de salud que sus comunidades necesitan, en la medidaque nuestro sistema de salud , está bajo la presión de quienes no tienen segurode salud o solo tienen un seguro con cobertura parcial. Estas voces no son laminoría del país: esas voces vienen del corazón de nuestra nación y represen-tan la realidad de nuestro averiado sistema de salud.
H.R. 3962 permite a las empresas pequeñas el acceso por primera vez, apólizas de seguro que antes eran accesibles solo a empresas grandes, medianteel mecanismo de la Bolsa en Seguro de Salud (Health Insurance Exchange).El mecanismo proporciona exenciones sustanciales en impuestos a empresaspequeñas que proporcionen seguro de salud a sus empleados. Además, laBolsa en Seguro de Salud proporciona acceso a subsidios para familias coningresos anuales de hasta cuatro veces el ingreso definido como la "linea depobreza" ($14,000/ anuales), para que puedan comprar el tipo de seguro desalud de su preferencia. H.R. 3962 expande MEDICAID para las familiasmás pobres en nuestras comunidades, familias con un ingreso de $22,000/an-uales, en una manera tal que no aumenta el costo fiscal al estado donde vivela familia. De hecho, durante los primeros tres años, la expansión es financiadapor el gobierno federal y despues de este plazo, los gobiernos estatales solodeben cubrir el 10% de la expansión en la cobertura.
Nuestra propuesta de Reforma de Salud (H.R. 3962) termina con la prác-tica utilizada por las compañías aseguradoras, de poner un límite a los gastosanuales y a los gastos durante la vida de una persona. En dos años, las lla-madas condiciones pre-existentes no podrán ser usadas por la compañías comoexcusa para negar la cobertura del seguro. Las compañías tendrán que reportary justificar sus aumentos en las primas de seguro, y también deberán gastaral menos 85% de lo que reciben por primas de seguro de sus clientes, en elcuidado a los pacientes, en vez de gastar ese dinero en costos administrativos.Ahora , cuando el Congreso llama a sus miembros a decidir la fase final de laReforma de Salud, yo invito a todos aquellos interesados en conocer más ac-erca de la propuesta de Reforma de Salud, a visitar mi Website, el Websitede la vocero (Speaker) de la Cámara de Representantes y el Website delComité en Energía y Comercio. Allí pueden leer el contenido de nuestra Propuesta, los resúmenes y hojas de datos, lo mismo que los efectos de la Prop-uesta sobre los diferentes grupos, para educarse sobre su contenido.

Es posible que el teléfono sea algo muyaceptado en la vida del siglo XXI, perono para aproximadamente tres mil-
lones de californianos. La mayoría de nosotros dapor hecho el uso del teléfono. Pero si usted tienedificultades para oír, ver, hablar, trasladarse omemorizar, lo que parece ser una simple llamadatelefónica puede ser un desafío – impidiendo la co-municación con la familia, los amigos y otros.
La misma tecnología de telecomunicacionesque impulsa una continua innovación ha producidouna gran cantidad de teléfonos y dispositivos es-pecializados para que las personas con discapaci-dades puedan comunicarse con la familia y losamigos. El Programa de Telecomunicaciones paraSordos y Discapacitados (DDTP, por sus siglas eninglés) provee estos teléfonos gratuitamente paralos californianos que cumplen los requisitos.
El DDTP distribuye equipos y servicios detelecomunicaciones que mejoran la comunicaciónpara todos los californianos. Siendo un programade la Comisión de Servicios Públicos de California(CPUC, por sus siglas en inglés), el DDTP proveea los californianos un equipo de teléfonos especial-izados y servicios de retransmisión a través delPrograma de Acceso Telefónico de California(CTAP, por sus siglas en inglés) y el Servicio deRetransmisión de California (CRS, por sus siglasen inglés), respectivamente. El CTAP provee telé-fonos especializados que amplifican el sonido,ajustan el tono, se encienden cuando reciben lla-madas, exhiben la conversación telefónica enforma de texto, tienen botones grandes connúmeros en relieve, son portátiles o tienen botonesde teléfono de marcado rápido que incorporan fo-tografías. El CTAP ofrece aproximadamente 60tipos de teléfonos y dispositivos especializados,
para que todos los californianos puedan comuni-carse a su manera.
El CRS provee Operadores de Retransmisióny Ayudantes de Comunicación especialmente ca-pacitados para retransmitir conversaciones tele-fónicas entre personas sordas, con pérdida auditivao con discapacidades del habla y las personas conlas cuales desean comunicarse por teléfono. ElCRS, el teléfono con subtítulos y los servicios deretransmisión de voz a voz (Speech-to-Speech) seofrecen en inglés y español.
Los residentes de California tienen derecho arecibir un equipo especializado si tienen un servi-cio telefónico y están certificados por un médicou otorrinolaringólogo autorizado. No hay costo,obligación, requisitos de edad o de ingresos.
Una vez que una persona cumple los requisi-tos para recibir un teléfono especializado, puedenllamar al 1-800-806-1191 ó ir a uno de los Centrosde Servicios del CTAP en California para determi-nar el dispositivo más apropiado para sus requisi-tos. El personal del CTAP demostrará lasfunciones de los teléfonos, recomendará el telé-fono que se adecue mejor a las necesidades delcliente y proveerá capacitación sobre cómo utilizary personalizar el teléfono.
El DDTP es financiado por un pequeño re-cargo que aparece en las facturas telefónicas de loshabitantes de California. El dinero que se recolectapaga tanto el CTAP como el CRS. Este recargoaparece en las facturas telefónicas con el nombrede “Servicio de Retransmisión y Fondo de Dispos-itivos de Comunicaciones de California” (CARelay Service and Communication Devices Fund).Para obtener más información o descargar una so-licitud, visite www.ddtp.org o llame al 1-800-806-1191.

CARTA ABIERTA A LA COMUNIDAD
12 de enero de 2010
Estimados residentes del Condado de Santa Clara:
Este año marca la conclusión del octavo año del Plan para Arroyos Limpios y Seguros y de Protección Natural Contra Inundaciones, el cual tiene una duración de quince años y constituye una iniciativa sometida a votación que recibió un sólido apoyo por parte de los electores del Condado de Santa Clara en noviembre de 2000. Con el fin de alcanzar los principales cuatro objetivos del plan, el electorado convino en pagar un impuesto anual de $39.
Como parte del plan implementado por el Distrito de Aguas del Valle de Santa Clara (Santa Clara Valley Water District), los electores autorizaron la formación de un Comité Independiente de Monitoreo (IMC) con el objetivo de monitorear el progreso del plan y cerciorarse de que los resultados del plan sean satisfechos de una manera eficiente en función de costos. De conformidad con este objetivo, el IMC evalúa cuidadosamente el progreso de las promesas expresadas y publica un informe anual de vigilancia, el cual está disponible por internet o bajo solicitud previa. El informe anual de vigilancia detalla el progreso alcanzado en cada uno de los principales cuatro resultados que fueron prometidos al electorado en 2000.
Los hogares, escuelas, negocios y redes de transporte están protegidos de las inundaciones. Se han planificado nueve proyectos de protección contra inundaciones a fin de dar protección a aproximadamente 16,000 hogares, negocios y escuelas. El Distrito de Aguas también elimina el sedimento de los arroyos a fin de conservar la capacidad de flujo necesaria para que las aguas resultantes de una inundación sean transportadas con seguridad a las bahías de San Francisco y Monterey.
Agua limpia y segura en nuestros arroyos y bahíasEl Distrito de Aguas está implementando proyectos para mejorar la calidad del agua en nuestros arroyos y bahías, así como para eliminar la basura y el grafiti de los corredores de nuestros arroyos.
Protección, mejoramiento o restitución de ecosistemas saludables en los arroyos y bahías Se están llevando a cabo iniciativas orientadas a mejorar la salud de los arroyos y del hábitat que los rodea. Estas actividades no se limitan tan sólo a los bancos de las vías fluviales a fin de que reflejen las condiciones de toda la cuenca, incluyendo la salud de las aves, animales y peces silvestres.
Senderos, parques y espacios abiertos a lo largo de las vías fluvialesEl Distrito de Aguas está trabajando en la creación de senderos y espacios abiertos dentro de las cuencas, corredores de los arroyos y diques de protección contra inundaciones de los alrededores a fin de que la comunidad pueda visitarlos y disfrutarlos.

The Milpitas Chamber of Com-merce, Hispanic Chamber ofCommerce SV and business spon-
sor Allied Waste Services joined together topresent a very interesting "Milpitas BusinessForum" last Wednesday, January 20, 2010.President Jeanne Serpa introduced RussellHancock, President & CEO of Joint VentureSilicon Valley Network, whose presentationcovered a very important current topic:Whither California?
What is going on with our state? How didwe get into such a mess? What is the fastestpath to reform? Why are many calling for aconstitutional convention? And would itwork? Dr. Hancock presented both analyticaland public policy experience to his position,which he has held since 2003 and which callsfor having a Constitutional Convention to re-place the current state constitution, which isvery cumbersome. He compared the Ameri-can Constitution (three pages) with Califor-nia's (thousands of pages--one of the mostcumbersome of all 50 states). He advocated
discarding the current constitution and begin-ning with a new one.
Educated at Harvard in the field of gov-ernment, he also holds a Ph.D. in political sci-ence from Stanford University, where hepublished in the fields of industrial policy andregional planning. At present, Dr. Hancock isalso a Lecturer at Stanford University in thePublic Policy Program and teaches coursesabout California state government and poli-tics. He is the Associate Director of Stanford'sProgram on Regions of Innovation and Entre-preneurship (SPRIE). To learn more about hissupport for a proposed "California Constitu-tional Convention," go to web site "Repair-California.org" and "CaliforniaForward.org".
The Hispanic community must becomefamiliar with the several methods being pro-posed to deal the inability of the Governorand the State Assembly to deal with the busi-ness of the people. They must curb expendi-tures in order to have a balanced budget,which does not exceed tax revenues realized.Should a California Constitutional Conven-tion be held, the Hispanic leadership must bepresent to represent its community and busi-ness interests.
Russlynn H. Ali, assistant secretary ofcivil rights at the U.S. Department ofEducation, will deliver the keynote ad-

The Captain Jason M. Dahl ElementarySchool was one of the first five ele-mentary schools in the Franklin
McKinley School District to receive their book-case full of books for the kindergarten classes onJanuary 22, 2009 in the school's cafeteria.
The bookcase was presented on behalf of theApplied Materials Foundation and the literacynonprofit Bring me a Book (BMAB). The non-profit received a $25,000 grant from AppliedMaterial Foundation that helped the school dis-trict. BMAB provides a First Teachers literacytraining workshop for parents, teachers and care-givers. To date, BMAB has served over 450,000
children and families in 1,700 sites.The ceremony launched the expansion of the
San Jose Elementary School Library Initiative,which was first launched in 2005. After the rib-bon cutting, the ceremony really began. JohnPorter, Superintendent, Franklin McKinleySchool District, read a book to students. MarkWalker, Executive Director, the Applied Materi-
als Foundation, read "Caps for Sale," to a classof kindergartners before wheeling off the book-case to their class. Each student helped out bycarrying a book as the teacher pushed the cart.
Five other schools in the Franklin McKinleySchool District will be receiving similar instala-tions, which include a bookcase and 30 new,hardcover, multicultural books.

The recession has had its effect on millions of peoplethroughout the country. Some have lost their jobs; othershave had to take pay cuts. It seems that everyone knows
someone who has been affected by the recession.So what is there to do? Sit around the house and hope the recession
ends soon? Compete with thousands of people for a single job?On Saturday, January 23, Jim Beall, Assembly member for the 24th
District, hosted an employer panel titled"Retooling for Tomorrow," at the Cam-den Community Center in San Jose toaddress this issue.
"People are struggling in thiseconomy and looking for ways toget back to work," Beall said.
"If you are not working, it isimportant to invest in yourselfand get ready for the future."
An economic strategist,a temporary employmentagencies representative,and health specialistjoined Beall on thepanel.
Jeff Ruster,Deputy Director forthe City of SanJose's Office of
Economic Development, said that there is currently 98,000 thousand peo-ple in Santa Clara County who are unemployed.
"These people have lost their jobs in areas such as the print media andtransportation," Ruster said. "That's why reinvention is important in SantaClara County. That's why it is important to have a solid foundation in skillssuch as math, reading and computers."
The areas where Ruster believes people will be able to get jobs in aresoftware programming, project management and healthcare.
Kris Stadelman, Director of the North Valley Workforce Board, wasalso at the event to remind those in attendance to update their skill sets.
"Today it is not about what degree you have, but what set of skillsyou have," Stadelman said. "Having a certain degree from twenty yearsago will not get you the jobs you want because technology and other in-dustries constantly change. Employers today are also looking for peoplewho have expertise in more than one area."
Stadelman also recommended joining social Web sites such asLinkedIn and Facebook in order to get more exposure.
"Employers today are saying that these social Web sites are a muchfaster and more successful way to recruit people for jobs," Stadelman said.
But what if someone needs a job now in order to pay bills? There are several job agencies that will assist individuals in finding
work while they reinvent themselves. These agencies include work2fu-ture and Manpower.
"Companies today are more focused on their bottom-line. That'swhere agencies like Manpower come in," said Twila Harrison, ProjectManager at Manpower. "We are here to help those who could use somehelp during these difficult times."
Assemblyman Beall suggested several Web sites that can guide indi-viduals to the help they need.

The County of Santa Clara's Assessor, LarryStone, this past week announced that 'TrueAutomation,’ a Hispanic owned and oper-
ated high tech company was awarded a two year $6million contract to further automate its operations. Os-valdo Morales, president & CEO of True Automation,briefly described how his firm focused its development,which began in 1997, on the automation. The softwaredeals with the property assessment, appraisal, and man-agement system (PAAMS) project to be installed.
A joint vision has been developed which involvesthe adaptability, quality, and efficiency that improvesproductivity while reducing costs. The managementsystem provides secure, reliable, prompt and accuraterecords on each property parcel. It manages an increas-ing workload without increased staffing. And this com-puterized property appraisal, assessment, andmanagement system established the Assessor's rollswith the accuracy required and the compliance withCalifornia State standards.
CEO Morales and his associates presented a seriesof ‘milestones’ that define the work and services to beprovided. The kickoff of this project began Monday,January 25, 2010 with presentations to the Assessor'sstaff. These meetings established the trust and confi-dence needed for a successful collaborative coordina-tion of all required work. The first element beingaddressed is the software to implement residential mar-ket analysis and 'gap analysis' is to be completed byMarch 2010. Its product development begins in April2010 followed by supplemental system adjustments re-quired by Proposition 8 and Proposition 13. Seven otherpackaged elements of this automated program will beinstalled and adjusted so that the whole system goeslive in November 2011. In August 2012 this PAAMS isprojected to receive 'final acceptance' and certificationby the County Assessor's Office.
True Automation is a firm located in Plano, Texas.
It was founded in 1997 and today has 180 clients beingserviced by 100 employees with a customer satisfactionrate of 98%. It is rated as one of the top places to workin the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Its measured growth innew markets includes the states of Texas, Washington,Alaska, and now California. Those present (HilbertMorales, publisher and Ruben Garcia, financial plan-ner) who represented the local County of Santa ClaraHispanic business community are very pleased withthis development that demonstrates directly the sup-portive role of Hispanic high tech enterprises. It is pro-jected that with the appropriate promotion, this eventcould be used to inspire and encourage local Hispanicyouth to develop their intellectual and creative potentialthrough continued education and professional develop-ment.
The visionary and competent public servant respon-sible is County Assessor Larry Stone. Elected in 1994after serving as Mayor, Sunnyvale, CA, he systemati-cally reorganized the County Assessor's Office opera-tions. Various 'silos of information' existed and wereprotected by their stakeholders who were integratedover time into a more efficient, effective service. In theprocess many 'hard copy' property files were digitalizedso that an entire floor of file cabinets were no longerneeded. All of these efforts, costing an estimated$960,000 per floor were funded by the State of Califor-nia using performance agreements developed and ap-proved. Today, thanks to Larry Stone's business acumenand efforts, the Office of the County Assessor's opera-tions do not depend on allocations from the GeneralFund, but are 'paid' by the State of California for its taxcollection services. This will be the first County As-sessors Office to have the PAAMS system in place,which permits its work to be accomplished with no ad-ditional staffing. We predict that other County Asses-sor's will follow this example of government efficiencyand effectiveness. True Automation, with OsvaldoMorales’ guidance, will have a bright service businessfuture here in California.

La reconstrucción de Haití tomará años. Afotunadamente todavía existenpersonas de buena voluntad. Cuando estas catastrófes ocurren losprimeros en llegar a estos lugares son los rescatistas. Los topos
mexicanos conocidos por prestar sus servicios a nivel internacional de maneravoluntaria se hicieron presente para ayudar a Haití.
EO entrevistó a Oscar Oliva, el jefe de la Brigada de Topos de Cancún quiendijo que una gran desolación y desesperanza se vive en este lugar.
"Hay tanta miseria, hay tanta destrucción hay niños huérfanos y mutiladosque necesitan de ayuda. Me tocó ver como perros se comían a los niños", explicóOliva.
El joven rescatista afirmó que de todos los sismos y desastres naturales quele ha tocado participar no había visto en su experiencia algo tan catastrófico comoel sismo e Haití.
"Estuve en el Tsunami de Indonesia, el sismo en Manzanillo, en el HuracánVilma en Cancún pero nada tan devastador como Haití".
Aún Oliva recuerda los rostros de dolor y sufrimiento que ha dejado en Haitíy aún recuerda a una persona que había perdido todo, casa, padres, hijos y cantabaporque estaba viva. "Es momento que la humanidad deje de pelear y no perderen tiempo en otras cosas. Tenemos que darnos la mano".
Oliva no ha descartado su deseo de regresar. Debido a un protocolo ellos nopueden permanecer más de 15 días en las zonas de desastre. Sin embargo ya estánpensando en ayudar a los víctimas en las inundaciones de Perú. Esta notable ybrillante labor humanitaria es digno de admirar. Olivo y su brigada son seres hu-manos como otros algunos desempleados, otro de profesión payaso, otro domadorde perros y él veterinario que se juntaron para ayudar a los necesitados.
"Esperamos en Dios que si en un mes damos el primero curso en Cancún detopos para prepararlos a servir a otros. Paisanos nos piden que formemos unabrigada de topos. Estoy listo para servir. Iremos a ayudarles y a transmitir estepequeno mensaje de preparación", dijo Oliva quien ya se encuentra en Cancún.
La Brigada de Rescate mexicana, cuyos miembros son conocidos como losTopos, se formó en los días posteriores al trágico terremoto de 1985 en Ciudadde México. El grupo es conocido por su capacidad para excavar túneles que ayu-dan a encontrar sobrevivientes. Ellos están planificando visitar San Francisco yentrenar a voluntarios para que estén listos en caso de un desastre. Las personasinteresadas pueden escribir a [email protected].

Fiscally responsible, an advocate for students, aconsensus builder, effective communicator, anda fighter for increased public education funding
at state and federal level. These are just a few of the rec-ommendations made by teachers in the East Side UnifiedHigh School District in San Jose regarding the selectionof the district's new Superintendent.
"As teachers of East Side Union High School District,we are very invested in the district finding the best possi-ble leader, in an expeditious manner," said Marissa Han-son, President of the East Side Teachers Association(ESTA). "We understand the need for continuity, and weappreciate the job Dan Moser has taken on as interim su-perintendent. But we believe that the difficult decisionsfacing the district need leadership and accountability, thesooner the better.”
The list of five personal attributes and five areas ofexperience focuses on ability to solve financial problems,
along with integrity, leadership and success factors.Other qualifications that the teachers recommend in-
clude a consistent record of professional success, unim-peachable personal and professional integrity, provenexperience in managing and celebrating diversity, teach-ing experience, a proven ability to overcome fiscal chal-lenges.
In addition to outlining specific criteria, the teachersalso want to be involved in every stage of the selectionprocess - making recommendations for possible candi-dates, participating in the paper screening of applications,being included in the oral interviews, and having their as-sessments of the finalists included in the final selection.
The teachers will urge the East Side Unified HighDistrict board and administration to limit their search toCalifornia candidates, citing California's and the district'sunique financial issues and diverse demographics.
ESTA represents teachers and other education profes-sionals who are on the front line of creating successful ed-ucational experiences for the 25,000 high school studentsin the 18-school district.

SAN MATEO, Calif.
San Mateo County Health System of-ficials are urging parents to get theirchildren vaccinated as soon as possi-
ble, given the likelihood that a third wave ofH1N1 flu cases is on the horizon. It is importantfor children under age 10 to get two doses ofH1N1 flu vaccine - at least three weeks apart -because two doses provide better protectionagainst the H1N1 virus for the less mature im-mune systems of younger children. But with therecent decline in H1N1 flu cases, many parentshave yet to get their children the second doseof H1N1 vaccine.
"I believe that a very high percent of chil-dren under age 10 who got a first dose of theH1N1 vaccine are either due or overdue fortheir second dose," said Dr. Scott Morrow,Health Officer for San Mateo County. "With athird wave of H1N1 flu likely to hit this year, Iurge parents to get their children vaccinated,and I also urge anyone who has not yet beenvaccinated to do so as soon as possible."
Pandemic flu outbreaks have historicallycome in waves. The first wave of H1N1 flu ill-ness hit in the spring of 2009, followed by asecond wave last fall. Now that the secondwave is declining and fewer people are getting
sick, many have lost interest in getting vacci-nated and are not taking this virus as seriouslyas they did in the past. But it is highly likelythat there will be a third wave of H1N1 flu thisyear, and that the virus will not disappear com-pletely.
Flu viruses are always unpredictable; andthis flu season is far from over. H1N1 virus isstill circulating and potentially dangerous.H1N1 flu is a vaccine-preventable disease;therefore, the County Health System is urgingthe public to get vaccinated now. A flu shot isstill the single best defense against the flu, andcan help reduce the spread throughout the com-munity. For individuals in high-risk groups, thevaccine prevents serious health complications,and in some cases, death. There have been 10H1N1-related deaths and 95 hospitalizations inthe County since the outbreak began last year.
Now that the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine iswidely available, it is the perfect time for peo-ple to protect themselves, their families andtheir community by getting a flu shot. There aremany locations offering H1N1 vaccinationsthroughout the County, including doctor's of-fices, retail stores and pharmacies, and freeCounty public vaccination clinics.

County Predicts Third Wave of H1N1 Flu; Urges Parents to Get Children Second Vaccine Dose
(NAPSMA)
El esqueleto parece resistente y duradero poreso es difícil creer que el hueso es un tejidoviviente, que se forma y reforma constante-
mente durante el crecimiento, lesiones y otros factores.El hueso se moldea y fortalece constantemente segúnsea necesario.
Hasta alrededor de los 30 años de edad, factoresvariables favorecen la formación del hueso. Cuando elhueso se moldea, el calcio, el mineral principal almace-nado en el hueso, es extraído del flujo sanguíneo paraformar un hueso nuevo, razón por la cual ingerir calciodebidamente es importante. La vitamina D también de-sempeña una función importante para ayudar a que elcuerpo absorba el calcio.
Los cambios físicos y los cambios en la dieta y elestilo de vida que suceden con la edad pueden afectarla salud del esqueleto, haciendo más propensas las que-braduras. Por ejemplo, la falta de calcio y vitamina D,la inactividad y el uso de tabaco pueden afectar la den-sidad ósea.
Las articulaciones también se ven afectadas con laedad. El cartílago suave que cubre los extremos delhueso se hace más fino. La producción de sulfato deglucosamina, un componente natural producido por elcuerpo que ayuda a amortiguar el cartilago, también dis-minuye con la edad.
"Mantener los huesos saludables es importante para
todas las edades", comenta el doctor Luigi Gratton,M.D. "Pero, la cantidad adecuada de calcio y vitaminaD es importante durante toda la vida y muchos adultosno consumen suficientes nutrientes en forma regularpara cubrir las deficiencias".
La mejor opción para la gente joven es ingerir detres a cuatro porciones de productos lácteos al día du-rante el período de mayor desarrollo de los huesos. Elcalcio debe mantenerse alto durante la edad adulta, peromuchas personas no consumen lo suficiente. El suple-mentar con un producto como Herbalife Xtra-Cal(r) Ad-vanced, que proporciona calcio y 100% del valor diariode la vitamina D, cumple con esta deficiencia.
Las actividades como caminar o correr, además deejercicios para desarrollar la fuerza muscular, tambiénayudan a desarrollar y mantener los huesos saludables.Los músculos fuertes ayudan a absorber algunas de laspresiones que sufren las articulaciones a causa de lasactividades diarias.
Los productos como Herbalife(r) Joint Support Ad-vanced ayudan a complementar la producción naturalde glucosamina del cuerpo y a apoyar la salud de las ar-ticulaciones.
Estar activo, comer bien y tomar suplementoscuando se necesitan, le brindarán la mejor posibilidadde mantener la salud de su esqueleto.

La Kalle, an Univision Radio station,presented Maria Jose and Tati, two ofthe most popular women in music at
the moment during the station's first private concertof the year on January 22, at Miami Beach Clubin downtown San Jose.
The Colombian recording artist Tati, took thestage to perform songs from her debut album, ElLatido de mi Corazon. Her time on the stage waslimited due to a minor sore throat that she madepublic to her fans, but she performed four songsand her hit “Amame.”
"I loved the environment," said Tati. "It wassuper cool."
After the quick performance, the pop star tookphotos with her fans.
"I will begin recording my next album," saidTati.
The next album is due sometime in the sum-mer of this year.
As photos were taken, others also waited forMexican singer, Maria Jose.
Before going on stage she also took photoswith selected fans.
"Thanks a lot for coming out," said MariaJose.
Jose has been on magazine covers and beganher career singing with the group Kabah. She per-formed the group's popular song "La Calle de lasSirenas," along with others.
Like many other celebrities, she remindedeveryone to have a good year and remember thosewho are suffering.
"I would like to dedicate this next song to thepeople in Haiti," said Maria Jose as she continuedwith her set.
Unlike pop star Tati, Jose signed autographs,took photos and even accepted a drink from thecrowd between songs.
"No soy una señora," from album Amante delo Ajeno, that was released last year was performedas a closing song.
Jose will kick off her tour on February 6 in SanFrancisco.

La balaLa decisión de los médicos del futbolista
Salvador Cabañas de dejar la bala dentro delcráneo no resulta riesgosa para la salud del ju-gador, siempre y cuando se hagan losseguimientos adecuados.
Una de las posibilidades por las que sellegó a esa resolución probablemente se debe aque por el impulso del proyectil éste se alojólejos de su entrada e intentar sacarlo dañaríamás al paciente, comentó Edna Sicajal Mene-ses, jefa del Servicio de Neurología de laUnidad Médica de Alta Especialidad "Mag-dalena de las Salinas".
En este sentido, para la neurocirujana esconveniente quitar únicamente lo que esté a sualcance, ya sea un coágulo, las esquirlas de labala que pudieron desprenderse después del im-
pacto o hasta la bala misma, ya que el cerebroes un órgano vital, muy delicado, que puededañarse si hay mucha manipulación en él.
Pero al tener dentro del cráneo un objetoque el organismo no identifica, puede tenerconsecuencias como abscesos, infecciones ohinchazones, por lo que es necesario que se lehagan tomografías habitualmente.
De esta manera, la especialista mencionóque al realizarle los estudios pertinentes sepodrá ver si el paciente está respondiendo pos-itivamente al procedimiento al que fuesometido.
Respecto al estado de sedación en el que seencuentra, indicó que esto consiste en inducir ala persona a un coma por medio de medicamen-tos, lo cual permite que el paciente esté tran-quilo y para que disminuya el edema cerebral.
Con este procedimiento también se puedenevitar crisis convulsivas y los doctores tendránmayor facilidad para manejar el órgano, asícomo el cerebro tendrá mejor proceso de oxi-genación, indicó.
Sobre la recuperación de Cabañas para re-gresar a las canchas, Sicajal Meneses cree queesto dependerá de los síntomas que presentedías después de su cirugía, ya que hay que ob-servar si hay alteraciones de funciones vitales,como el habla o el movimiento, lo cual es clavepara saber si se requiere un tratamiento médico,quirúrgico o físico.
