Mexican Heritage Corporation Goes to Washington /Th e White House annually invites a select group of community leaders to participate in celebrating our nation’s Hispanic and latino heritage. Marcela Davison Aviles, CeO of San Jose’s Mexican Heritage Corpo-ration, received her invitation to att end this reception on Monday, September 22 at the home of Vice President and Doctor Biden. She looks forward to meeting with her peers in the national latino lead-ership to celebrate America’s latino heritage and discuss the issues of the day. While there Davison Aviles will be meeting with federal agencies about the work being done by the Mexican Heritage Cor-poration in San Jose’s public schools and through its music, culture and arts education conference known as VivaFest.

Nueva ley mejora la seguridad de los ciclistas / el Departa-mento de Vehículos Motorizados de California (DMV) recuerda a los automovilistas sobre una nueva ley que requiere que el conductor de un vehículo que intente rebasar a un ciclista que transita en la mis-ma dirección sobre una carretera, mantenga no menos de tres pies de distancia entre cualquier parte del vehículo y cualquier parte de la bicicleta. la ley “Tres Pies de Seguridad” entro a vigor el 16 de sep-tiembre de 2014.

Overcharged Tax on an Auto Purchase? Get Your Refund / Californians who want to know if they overpaid sales or use tax when buying a car or truck should verify their local tax rate (www.boe.ca.gov/taxrate) and review their vehicle registration paperwork care-fully. Sales and use tax rates vary widely across California, and con-sumers may be unaware if they are being charged the correct amount of tax. When purchasing a motor vehicle, a buyer should generally pay the tax rate where it will be registered (usually the owner’s home address).

Cerca de Dos Tercios de las Mujeres Hispanas Conocen a una Víctima del Abuso / De acuerdo a una nueva encuesta nacio-nal publicada por la Fundación Allstate, cerca de dos tercios (64 por ciento) de las mujeres hispanas dicen que han conocido personal-mente a una víctima de algún tipo de abuso, y tres de cada diez (30 por ciento) han sido víctimas personalmente. Para crear conciencia en la comunidad Hispana, la fundación Allstate está animando al público para que participe en el Reto del Bolso Morado haciendo donativos a las organizaciones no lucrativas que apoyan los servicios para el fortalecimiento fi nanciero de las sobrevivientes de la violen-cia doméstica.

OPINION

Luisa Fernanda Monterola reD HiSPana

el hecho de que en las tien-das de cvS hayan decidido fi nalmente detener la venta de cigarrillos es, sin lugar a dudas, una buena noticia. actos de este nivel, demues-tran que poco a poco, la so-ciedad avanza en lo que a la salud de las comunidades se refi ere.

obviamente, aquel que quiera fumar fumará. Si-guen siendo muchos los lu-gares donde los fumadores encuentran cigarrillos. Pero el hecho de que cada vez se genere más conciencia sobre las consecuencias del vicio, no debe pasar desapercibido.

Para nadie es fácil dejar de fumar. el tabaquismo causa la muerte de miles de perso-nas y sin embargo, dejar el vicio es una de las metas más complicadas que puede tener cualquier persona.

Pero es necesario hacerlo. los componentes del ciga-rrillo afectan la salud de las personas de forma demasia-do drástica. De acuerdo con información publicada por los centros de control de enfermedades, cDc, fumar cigarrillos es la causa prin-cipal de cáncer de pulmón. además, es claro que el fu-

mar también puede causar otros tipos de cáncer.

la nicotina del cigarrillo hace que el corazón trabaje más rápido. el cigarrillo también causa un bloqueo de las arterias del corazón, ocasionando ataques cardía-cos, además, los venenos del cigarrillo bloquean las arte-rias y ocasionan derrames cerebrales.

Pero por si fuera poco el fumar causa enfermedades de los pulmones, como la bronquitis crónica y el en-fi sema. estas enfermedades disminuyen la cantidad de oxígeno que el cuerpo recibe porque la respiración se hace más difícil.

todo ello sin contar con la forma drástica en que la nicotina afecta los dientes y las encías o las consecuencias que puede tener en las mu-jeres embarazadas, que pu-eden incluso, tener abortos espontáneos.

la nicotina, además, hace más difícil la digestión, lo cual causa úlceras en el estómago y mucha acidez después de comer. Pero lo cierto es que dejar de fumar es posible y nunca es tarde para empezar.

yo lo logré. Fue un proceso de más de cuatro años en

los que fui disminuyendo de forma paulatina el consumo. es decir que de fumar en promedio dos paquetes de cigarrillos diarios, pase a uno y después a 4 o 3 cigarrillos diarios.

en su momento me reté a mí misma en esta columna y por eso hoy – después de muchos meses – me com-place contar que lo logré y que ya no disfruto para nada del acto de fumarme un cigarrillo. no fue fácil pero tampoco imposible, por eso, estoy segura de que usted también lo puede lograr.

Si bien es cierto que el vi-cio es difícil de superar dado el hecho de que el cigarrillo contiene nicotina, una droga que produce una dependen-cia tan fuerte como la heroí-na o la cocaína, también es cierto que dejarlo atrás no es imposible; es difícil, pero no imposible.

Para recibir ayuda en su proceso puede llamar al 1-800-784-8669 o al 1-800-332-8615 encontrará ofrece apoyo gratuito de consejeros experimentados, un plan personalizado para dejar de fumar, materiales de autoa-yuda, lo último en informa-ción sobre medicamentos para la cesación del tabaquis-mo y más. Usted decide.

it is not often that spousal abuse receives the attention it merits. those elevator se-curity videos show profes-sional football player, ray rice knocking out his preg-nant fi ancé and then drag-ging her body off the eleva-tor. in this case, the national Football league commis-sioner suspended ray rice for just two weeks; however the atlanta Falcons termi-nated his contract because of the negative public rela-tions. Some 45% of national football fans are women. the judgements made by both the commissioner and the franchise had to do with pre-serving a suitable public rela-tions image, which preserved the cash fl ow from advertis-ers, the fans who purchase game tickets, and tv view-ers. ray rice’s fi ancé mar-ried him, however, the local authorities went ahead with their ‘domestic violence’ case based on the video evidence available. She forgave him and stood by him.

a former girl friend of Greg Hardy, revealed that when she dated Greg, one day in a fi t of anger and frustration, he placed his hands around her neck, “He looked me in my eyes and he told me he was going to kill me.” i was so scared, i wanted to die. When he loosened his grip slightly, i said, ‘Just do it. Kill me.”if there were a Greg Hardy video, would Greg Hardy be playing (this past Sunday)?

San Francisco’s 49’ers had a lineman, ray McDonald, who allegedly abused his fi ancé. it is alleged that the 49’ers have six team mem-

bers with a history of domes-tic violence cases.

Jerry richardson broke down when he addressed the issue of ‘domestic violence’ after accepting an award for his altruistic commu-nity efforts. richardson said, “When it comes to domestic violence, my status is not one of indifference. i am against domestic violence, plain and simple.” (Source: Melissa Harris Perry, MSnBc, 7:00 aM, Sunday, 09.14.14).

“the nFl stance against domestic violence is not ‘plain and simple’.” said Me-lissa Harris Perry. “What is at stake is the relationship of all the nFl franchises, their fan base, and their very lucrative advertisement contracts.”

another violence issue exists. at least one of three retired professional football players will have cognitive problems resulting from the brain con-cussions experienced while playing professional football, at the level of violence we all enjoy. a class action lawsuit was adjudicated in favor of those retired players who had, or are experiencing, brain damage resulting from concussions.

the action being taken is misguided. Players are be-ing suspended for several games or forever. When that is the action taken, a fam-ily looses its income support. the wife and children are ‘left out in the cold’. there is another alternative to be considered: those found to be practitioners of domestic violence need to be required to undergo a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, and assessment, for the purpose of crafting a plan for ‘human behavioral modifi cation’. in that abusive player’s brain is a pattern of using his excep-tional strength and ferocity to dominate an opponent. Somehow this is a valuable

trait of professional athletes. thus the behavior modifi ca-tion plan resulting from the comprehensive assessment must ‘draw new limits’ with-in the subject’s brain. these limits do not exist and must be established. Behavior modifi cation training may be able to defi ne ‘kids and wife as being off limits to do-mestic violence of any sort.

this approach is much more complex and reasonable than the current ‘legalis-tic contractual conditions’ which are applied without any consideration or empa-thy for those impacted. the current practice of banning a gifted athlete from the very sport that employs his special skills and expertise is always a signifi cant loss to some professional team.

What the nFl commission-er and the franchise owners are protecting is a $10 Bil-lion dollar enterprise which could go away for a long time if the fan base, the advertis-ers, and the general public decide that they will not sup-port any sport that retains players guilty of domestic violence. a specifi c point is that four tv networks, in-cluding nBc, aBc, cBS, and Fox are all stakeholders in the 42 billion dollars in tv revenues projected through fi scal year 2022. note that the nFl league has been tax-exempt since 1944. but not the individual franchises.

it seems reasonable to try the ‘behavior modifi cation’ approach now. it may result in outcomes that are both possible and humane, while permitting a gifted player to remain in the game. Be aware that 85% of domestic violence victims are women. the others are kids and el-derly parents. let’s apply behavioral modifi cation to mitigate domestic violence.

on Sept. 4, the california

Department of education (cDe) released the 2013-14 california High School exit exam (caHSee) results.

an analysis of the caHSee completed by the Santa clara county offi ce of education’s assessment and account-ability department shows that Santa clara county stu-dents as a whole continue to outperform their peers across the state on both the english language arts (ela) and Mathematics portions of the caHSee.

However, the analysis also indicates that in 2014 some Santa clara county subgroups were outperformed by their statewide counterparts in passing rates on both sections of the caHSee. the caH-See is administered each year

to ensure that students who graduate from public high schools demonstrate grade level competency in reading, writing and mathematics.

Several highlights of the

SCCOE analysis:‣ Grade 10 asian and White

subgroups are performing at or near the ceiling of perfor-mance for both portions of the caHSee. in 2014, grade 10 asian students in the county passed the ela portion at a rate of 95 percent and the Mathematics portion at a rate of 98 percent. For grade 10 White students, the rates of passage were 95 for ela and 96 percent for Mathematics.

‣ over the last nine years,

grade 10 Hispanic/latino stu-dents have shown the greatest improvement of all subgroups in their pass rate on the ela portion of the caHSee, with an increase of 11 percentage points, from 64 percent pass-

ing in 2005 to 75 percent passing in 2014.

‣ Between 2005 and 20014,

both grade 10 Hispanic/lati-no and african american stu-dents have demonstrated the greatest improvement of all subgroups in their pass rates on the Mathematics portion of the caHSee, with respective increases of 16 and 14 percent-age points.

‣ although the county’s sub-

groups outperform most of their counterparts statewide, Hispanic, Filipino and eco-nomically Disadvantaged stu-dents scored lower on both parts of the test than their statewide counterparts. eng-lish learner results statewide were also higher than in Santa clara county on the ela por-tion of the test.

the entire analysis for the

caHSee report can be found at www.sccoe.org.

GeD testing Service anun-ció que desde el 22 de sep-tiembre hasta el 3 de octu-bre los estudiantes que se acerquen a un centro de educación para adultos local podrán tomar el examen de práctica para GeD sin costo alguno. el objetivo del pro-grama “Prepárese sin costo” es alentar a que más estu-diantes adultos se acerquen a los centros de educación para adultos locales que ofre-cen clases de preparación para el examen de GeD sin costo alguno o a un costo muy bajo. también está di-señado para ayudar a que los estudiantes averigüen si están preparados para tomar el examen de GeD real. en caso de que necesiten prác-tica adicional, se les brindará

un plan de estudio persona-lizado gratuito basado en sus resultados.

Datos de estudios realizados por GeD testing Service de-muestran que el examen de práctica tiene una efi cacia del 95 % en la predicción de la puntuación que el estudian-te obtendrá en el examen de GeD, de modo que profeso-res y estudiantes cuentan con

un indicador en tiempo real del nivel de preparación del estudiante. el nuevo examen de práctica también brinda información detallada so-bre los conocimientos de un estudiante y las habilidades que deberían reforzarse más. el reporte de puntuación del examen de práctica no solo constituye un indicador del nivel de preparación para profesores y estudiantes,

sino que también indica las habilidades y conocimientos específi cos que el estudiante debe dominar para aprobar el examen de GeD. la informa-ción detallada que brinda el reporte de puntuación ayuda a los educadores a identifi -car lo que deben enseñarle a cada estudiante. estos datos también ayudan a que los estudiantes se concentren en los contenidos específi cos que deben reforzar, lo que permite disminuir el tiempo dedicado al estudio y evitar adivinanzas durante el examen.

“estamos orgullos de lanzar por primera vez el programa Prepárese sin costo en el mar-co de la Semana nacional de educación para adultos y al-fabetización Familiar, ya que casi 1 de cada 5 estadouniden-ses no obtuvo su diploma de la escuela secundaria”, explicó

randy trask, Presidente de GeD testing Service. “resul-ta muy importante informar-les a nuestros amigos, vecinos y familiares que no se gradua-ron de la escuela secundaria acerca de cómo dar ese pri-mer gran paso hacia una vida mejor, y alentarlos a acercarse al centro de educación para adultos local o visitar el sitio web GeD.com. este progra-ma constituye un incentivo más para que den ese primer paso”.

los estudiantes que deseen tomar el examen de práctica GeD ready sin costo algu-no pueden hacerlo desde el 22 de septiembre hasta el 3 de octubre y para ello deben contactarse con el centro de educación para adultos local. Para encontrar un centro de educación para adultos local, visite el sitio web www.ged-

testingservice.com/locate-a-prep-center.

la promoción “Prepárese sin costo” de GeD testing Service se ofrece en el marco de la Semana nacional de educación para adultos y alfabetización Familiar, orga-nizada por la national coali-tion for literacy. la Semana nacional de educación para adultos y alfabetización Fa-miliar contribuye a generar conciencia sobre la importan-cia de los recursos académicos para adultos en los estados Unidos. “Prepárese sin costo” alienta a los estudiantes adul-tos a acercarse a un centro de educación para adultos local y conocer más acerca de las clases, tutorías y demás re-cursos que ofrecen los centros para que puedan alcanzar sus metas académicas y profesio-nales.

Jason AldermanPractical Money

la vida del jubilado no es barata. además de dejar de cobrar su sueldo, debe seguir pagando la casa, la comida, los servicios, el transporte y los costos médicos, por solo nombrar algunos gastos. Dado el continuo aumento de los precios, no es de sor-prender que, en los últimos años, la gente decida jubilar-se cada vez más tarde.

y hablando de los costos de salud, esta cifra seguramente lo dejará helado: Según un estudio anual de Fidelity in-vestments sobre los costos de los jubilados, se espera que una pareja promedio que se jubile en 2014 a los 65 años necesite U$S220.000 (en dólares de hoy) para cubrir sus gastos médicos durante su retiro. los que planean ju-bilarse a los 62, pueden tener unos $17.000 más de gastos médicos por año.

el cálculo de Fidelity inclu-ye las primas de Medicare, los deducibles, los copagos y otros gastos no cubiertos, pero sorprendentemente no incluye la mayoría de los servicios odontológicos u oftalmológicos, los medica-mentos de venta libre o, lo que es más importante, los cuidados prolongados.

cuando Fidelity encuestó a personas de entre 55 y 64 años que todavía no estaban jubiladas, el 48 por ciento creyó que solo necesitarían U$S50.000 para cubrir sus costos de salud durante el retiro. esto dista mucho de la realidad.

Si está planean-do jubilarse en los próximos

años y le preocu-pa no haber

ahorrado lo suficiente para

cubrir sus gastos médicos, este es un ejemplo de lo que podría lle-gar a pagar:

Medicare Parte a ayuda a cubrir los gastos de inter-nación hospitalaria, centros de cuidados especializados y servicios de hospicio, así como los gastos de la aten-ción domiciliaria. la mayo-ría de la gente no paga una prima mensual por la Parte a. Pero, a partir de 2014, se cobrará un deducible de U$S1.216 por internación, más un co-seguro diario de U$S306 después de los 60 días ($608 por día después de los 90 días).

Medicare Parte B paga los servicios de salud que sean médicamente necesarios, la atención ambulatoria, los equipos médicos duraderos y varios servicios preventivos. es opcional y tiene un costo mensual de $104.90 (aun-que las personas de mayores ingresos pagan más). Hay un deducible anual de U$S147 después del cual usted debe pagar el 20 por ciento de los costos aprobados por Medi-care, siempre que el médico/prestador acepte Medicare. nota: no hay límite anual para los gastos que pague de su bolsillo.

los planes Medicare Parte c (advantage) son ofrecidos por compañías de seguro privadas como alternativas a las Partes a y B. Suelen estar estructurados como los pla-nes HMo o PPo. la mayo-ría cubre los medicamentos recetados (por lo que no es necesario tener un plan Parte D) y algunos también ofre-cen cobertura odontológica y oftalmológica. Se deben

usar los médicos, hospitales y farmacias que pertenezcan al plan, que son más limitados que los de la Parte a y B.

el costo del plan advantage varía considerablemente de-pendiendo de factores como monto máximo de gastos pa-gados de su bolsillo por año, primas mensuales, co-pagos y medicamentos cubiertos. algunos planes advantage no cuestan más que Medica-re Parte B, mientras que otros tienen una prima mayor (por cubrir los medicamentos y otros servicios adicionales).

Medicare Parte D ayuda a cubrir el costo de los medica-mentos recetados. es opcio-nal y tiene una prima men-sual. estos planes privados varían mucho en términos de costo, co-pagos, deducibles y medicamentos cubiertos. la prima mensual promedio de 2014 a nivel nacional es de aproximadamente U$S32, aunque el plan puede llegar a costar unos U$S175 por mes. además, las personas de mayores ingresos pagan un recargo. Seguramente no encontrará un plan que cubra todos sus medicamen-tos pero, al menos, intente encontrar el que le cubra los medicamentos más caros.

Utilice el buscador de pla-nes de Medicare de www.me-dicare.gov para comparar los planes Parte D y advantage de su área. Para más infor-mación sobre cómo funciona Medicare o qué cubre y qué no cubre, lea “Medicare & you 2014” en el mismo sitio web.

en resumen: aunque Me-dicare pague una parte im-portante de su atención mé-dica como jubilado, al hacer el presupuesto para su retiro asegúrese de tener en cuenta los abultados gastos que se-guramente deberá pagar de su bolsillo.

For most people, the prospect of losing income due to injury or disability is a frightening one, but in reality, few believe it is a challenge they will ever per-sonally face. only 28 percent of employees feel confident in their ability to replace earn-ings in the event of a disabil-ity, according to findings from the 2014 Prudential report, Disability insurance: Beyond Paycheck Protection. in ad-dition, just 38 percent think their ability to pay for health care costs - such as wellness and preventative maintenance, chronic conditions, and critical illnesses, is very good.

“the reality is a vast majority of americans underestimate their risk of becoming disabled. Helping them understand the likelihood of experienc-ing a disability at some point, coupled with the potentially

devastating financial impact it can have, is an important foun-dation to help educate them on the importance of disability insurance,” says eric Hamilton, vice president, disability prod-ucts and absence management, Prudential Group insurance.

other findings included the fact that an impressive 82 percent of employers offered long-term disability insurance in 2013, yet 33 percent of em-ployees still say they are with-out disability insurance of any kind.

the question is what steps can individuals take to help ensure they have an adequate financial safety net? according to coun-cil for Disability awareness, there are some basic steps that can be implemented to start bridging the gap between no protection and complete cover-age:

* complete an income/ex-pense review: Get a clear pic-ture of where your money is coming from and where it is going.

* trim expenses: look for ways to reduce spending.

* identify alternate income sources: Does your company offer employer sick pay?

* Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Do what you can to avoid dis-ability in the first place.

* take action: Develop an ac-tion plan in case you are faced with a disability.

life is unpredictable. no one plans on becoming disabled, but planning for the unexpect-ed can bring tremendous peace of mind. Group insurance cov-erages are issued by the Pru-dential insurance company of america.

covered california está contactando a alrededor de 98,000 familias que nece-sitan comprobar su estatus migratorio o corren el riesgo de perder su seguro de salud.

consumidores tendrán que presentar documentos que muestran que residen en los estados Unidos en forma legal como ciudadano de los estados Unidos, de na-cionalidad estadounidense o una persona con estatus migratorio elegible para con-tinuar con su plan de seguro médico a través de covered california. los consumi-dores que no presenten la prueba adecuada antes del 30 de septiembre arriesgan que su póliza sea cancelada. comenzando esta semana, notifi caciones por carta serán enviadas a consumidores.

“Queremos aclarar estas inconsistencias ahora para que nuestros consumidores puedan tener un proceso de renovación más fácil sin ninguna interrupción en su cobertura”, dijo Peter v. lee, director ejecutivo de cove-red california. “estamos im-plementando un esquema multi-contacto a través de diferentes medios de comu-nicación para notifi car a las personas que corren el riesgo de perder su cobertura.”

covered california ha esta-do trabajando para eliminar inconsistencias y resolver

discrepancias. Hasta la fecha, más de 700,000 documen-tos han sido verifi cados y procesados.

los documentos presenta-

dos por los consumidores se mantendrán confi dencial y solo serán usados para de-terminar elegibilidad pero no serán compartidos con nin-guna agencia de inmigración.

lee dijo que algunos con-

sumidores habrán sometido los documentos requeridos anteriormente pero covered california no pudo verifi car ciudadanía o estatus inmi-gratorio. Por ejemplo, al-gunos documentos no eran ilegibles o en unos casos los consumidores no presenta-ron sufi ciente documentos y por eso es que la agencia está solicitando los documentos nuevamente.

los avisos, en inglés y es-pañol, incluyen una lista de documentos que los consu-midores pueden enviar para verifi car su ciudadanía o es-tatus migratorio. la notifi ca-ción también está disponible en otros idiomas.

los consumidores también recibirán instrucciones sobre cómo subir los documentos a su cuenta de internet de covered california, enviarlos por correo postal o por fax al (888) 329-3700. agen-tes certifi cados, consejeros de inscripción certifi cados, agencias de Servicios Hu-manos de los condados, y representantes del centro de

llamadas de covered cali-fornia estarán disponibles para ayudar a consumidores a presentar los documentos necesarios.

lee recalcó que consumido-res necesitan actuar lo más pronto posible al recibir los avisos para que no pierdan su seguro de salud.

“Si no recibimos sus docu-mentos a tiempo, covered california está obligada a cancelar su seguro de salud junto con cualquier ayuda federal que reciba para redu-cir el costo de los pagos men-suales”, dijo lee. “Si usted ha recibido ayuda fi nanciera, y su cobertura médica se can-cela, tendrá que devolver cualquier subsidio federal y es posible que también tenga que pagar una multa de im-puestos”.

Documentos que califi can para comprobar estatus mi-gratorio legal incluyen, pero no se limitan a, pasaporte de los ee.UU., certifi ca-do de naturalización (n-550/n-570), certifi cado de ciudadanía (n-560/n-561), acta de nacimiento, tarjeta de identifi cación o licencia de conducir emitida por el estado o gobierno local, tar-jeta de identifi cación escolar, pasaporte extranjero o tarje-ta de residente permanente “Green card”.

the world can be a tough place. People can be criti-cal or unappreciative of the things we do. But we some-times are our own harshest critics. rather than realis-tically seeing the results of tasks undertaken, some peo-ple can’t accept compliments or believe that he or she really has done well.

it such cases, the person may constantly feel that the goal wasn’t quite met and that no matter how many people are complimentary about what was done, the person doesn’t accept or be-lieve the compliments.

Facing life with such a criti-cal attitude makes it diffi cult to fi nd pleasure in our lives and accomplishments. We may always feel we “should” have done better, and that if people really knew us they wouldn’t say such nice things.

Professional counselors re-fer to the problem as “mini-mizing the positive” or “tele-scopic thinking.” the refer-ence is to looking through the wrong end of a telescope,

thus making everything look smaller than it is rather than magnifying what’s being viewed. this unrealistic view can lead to bigger problems.

it doesn’t have to be that way. a professional counselor can provide help for someone who has this negative view of his or her life. While a coun-selor doesn’t have a magic means of improving the way you see yourself and your life, he or she can usually help you fi nd a more realistic way of looking at things.

Sometimes all you need is for someone to help guide you through a realistic evalu-ation of your activities. What a professional counselor can offer is a way to more hon-estly evaluate how you are performing, rather than the negative view you may have.

one initial approach may be to get you to focus on things you do well. this can be done by making a list of fi ve things you do well, even if not per-fectly. it might be things like, “i really care about other people,” or “i work hard to be a good parent.”

once you have such a list, stop yourself whenever someone compliments you and you feel yourself mini-mizing or discounting what was said. take out your list, look at it and remind yourself that there are things you do right.

But if you fi nd that you can’t feel good about what you are accomplishing, talk to a counseling professional. He or she can help you fi nd that more positive attitude.

Here’s food for thought: You may be able to nudge your family in the right direction toward healthful eating if you heed these four facts and hints.1) Families that eat together may be the healthiest, according to research published in Pediatrics and ScienceDaily. Added bonus: Kids who eat with their families are less likely to be overweight and tend to perform better in school than their peers.2) Need recipe ideas? In September, which is National Chicken Month, or at any time of year, you can try preparing dishes that celebrate this popular poultry that’s high in protein and low in fat.3) Get creative at mealtime and dress up your chicken (or other healthy dishes) with dressings and sauces. A variety of salad dressings can be used as a marinade, and barbecue or hot sauces can add additional flavor to your meal.4) Involve your kids in the preparation of their own healthful meals. They’re more likely to enjoy it if they have a stake in the process.Recipe IdeasTry preparing grilled chicken quesadilla, chicken ranch casserole or perhaps a raspberry walnut tropical chicken salad—or you can go all the way to this “ultimate chicken” recipe:

Ultimate ChickenServes 44 (6-oz.) boneless skinless chicken breasts Salt and black pepper½ tsp. paprika3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided1 lg. Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced1 C. sliced celery1⁄3 C. sliced shallots or red onions8 oz. clean baby spinach leaves¼ C. toasted pine nuts¾ C. blue cheese salad dressing

Season chicken with salt, pep-per and paprika. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear both sides of chicken. Continue to cook on medium heat until chicken is thor-oughly cooked. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. In same skillet, heat remaining olive oil and sauté apples, celery and shallots until tender.

Gently heat blue cheese dress-ing in a saucepan. Do not bring to a boil. Arrange spinach on plates, top with hot vegetables, apples and chicken. Spoon warm blue cheese dressing over all and sprin-kle with pine nuts.

Following a Sunday mass, dozens of people gathered for the dedication of McDon-nell Hall as a State Historical landmark in east San Jose. McDonnell Hall was the original mission church for our lady of Guadalupe par-ish and played a significant role in cesar chavez’ found-ing of the farm labor move-ment in the United States.

“today we are gathered here to celebrate one of our city’s historic sites becoming a state landmark and to pay tribute to this place of history that connected people who changed the course of amer-ica’s civil rights for us, our parents, our children, their children, and generations to come. it is our church, where Si Se Puede began,” said as-sembly speaker pro tempore nora campos. “i am proud as i am having the honor to designate McDonnell Hall as a state landmark and i am even prouder of the idea that formed in this building…the idea of community.”

campos recognized the sig-nificance of the hall and how it represented the epicenter

of the farm worker move-ment. it was there that cesar chavez saw the need for fair wages and decent treatment for the people who brought food to the tables.

cesar chavez’ activism began while doing commu-nity organizing in San Jose. a young priest by the name of Donald McDonnell took chavez under his wing. Fa-ther McDonnell used the percepts of the catholic church to stop social injus-tice and help migrants. He exposed chavez to the condi-tions of labor, dignity of la-bor, and the right to organize.

McDonnell Hall, originally known as Guadalupe Mis-sion, served as the primary site where chavez and Father McDonnell served, educated and organized farm workers and other community mem-bers. During its active years of operation, many tears were shed, many leaders lost hope as they fought an obstacle that at times seemed impos-sible, yet the sense a commu-nity kept them together.

“it’s an important part of american history. it’s a place that must be preserved and remembered,” said Paul chavez, son of cesar chavez.

to some, McDonnell Hall will always represent the power to tell the status quo that their norm is not good enough for their families. the dedication is one step closer to immortalizing ce-sar chavez’ historical im-portance to the nation’s civil rights movement.

the fight for workers rights was about a political cause as it was equally about the holistic idea of building a movement by empowering a community. Parishioners knew that the fight was big-ger than themselves. they knew that as members of the community their duty was to each other and that’s why they couldn’t quit. they depended on each other as people continue to depend on each other.

“today we are telling the story behind McDonnell so that the legacy of cesar chavez and our civil rights movement is preserved for all times,” said campos.

the church is already a key location on San Jose’s cesar e. chavez Memorial Walk-way, which commemorates the sites in San Jose that played a role in chavez’ life.

Assembly speaker pro tempore Nora Campos was joined by city officials and some fam-ily members of Cesar Chavez for the dedication of McDonnell Hall as a state histocial landmark in East San Jose on Septmeber 14.

emit Mini Mart is the first in a 21-store network to receive a healthy makeover courtesy of, the Health trust, a non-profit dedicated to promoting health in the Silicon valley.

emit Mini Mart kicked off the nonprofit’s, ‘Good to Go’ cam-paign with a launch party this past Wednesday, September 17, inviting the community to view how the store’s layout trans-formed from aisles of sugary snacks to aisles of produce and healthy snacks.

“today was our launch event for our first major conversion store at emit’s Mini Mart. We’ve been working with her for several months in intro-ducing fruits vegetables, grab and go snacks,” said emma Gonzalez, program manager for the Health trust. Gonzalez said the store owner, carmina

rivera has already seen a sales increase by offering healthier options through her participa-tion in the program.

the ‘Good to Go’ campaign is set to convert six more stores by the end of this week. Stores that participate in the cam-paign receive training, market-ing materials, and other equip-ment in exchange for placing an emphasis on produce and healthier food products. Store owners must also agree to sell healthy snacks on a “grab and go” mode.

“the Good to Go campaign is really trying to address the issue of having no access to healthy food in low income communi-ties,” Frederick Ferrer, Health trust’s ceo. “We know that in a low income community folks shop at their corner store 5 times more than they do at a grocery store. So if that’s the case what do they get when they go to a corner store,pretty much unhealthy food.”

the campaign’s goal is to change consumer eating hab-its by making healthier food products more widely avail-able. aside from converted local corner markets and con-venience stores to be more health centered, the campaign will also deploy mobile vendors with produce carts.`Mobile vendors in return receive brand and marketing tools to help grow their outreach. through the campaign’s initiatives, con-sumers will have easier access to healthier food choices and receive quality produce at rea-sonable prices .

the Health trust’s mission is to advocate for a healthier Sili-con valley through its three ini-tiatives: healthy living, healthy eating, and healthy aging. the ‘Good to Go’ campaign is spon-sored by Google, USDa com-munity Food Project Grant, the Packard Foundation and the city of San Jose. By november of this year, the campaign will transform 17 more stores.

ciudadanos de los estados Unidos recientemente na-turalizados compartieron su camino a la ciudadanía, ‘Un año después: cómo la ciu-dadanía cambió mi vida“, el pasado miércoles, 10 de sep-tiembre en una conferencia de prensa telefónica sobre el valor de la ciudadanía or-ganizada por new america Media y el Foro nacional de inmigración.

la conferencia de prensa es parte de la celebración de este mes de la ciudadanía, también se conmemora el Día nacional de la ciudada-nía, que se celebró el 17 de septiembre.

“Más de ocho millones de inmigrantes tienen tarjetas verdes y son elegibles para la ciudadanía estadouniden-se, sin embargo, sólo ocho por ciento se convierten en ciudadanos cada año, según las últimas cifras de 2012 del instituto de Políticas de Migración”, dijo Sandy clo-se moderadora y directora ejecutiva de new america Media.

new america Media viajó a seis ciudades para acoger me-sas redondas de los medios étnicos sobre la ciudadanía como parte de la campaña de nuevos americanos, una

campaña nacional que traba-ja con múltiples organizacio-nes que tienen el objetivo de hacer más accesible la ciuda-danía.

“Hemos encontrado que la mayor barrera que impedía que los inmigrantes elegibles aplican para ser ciudadanos fue la falta de información”, dijo close.

la campaña utiliza los me-dios étnicos para ayudar a ce-rrar la brecha de información entre las comunidades de necesidad y la información o recursos.

“Desafortunadamente hay muchos mitos sobre el pro-ceso de ciudadanía y hay un montón de desconoci-dos sobre el proceso de la ciudadanía”, dijo vanessa Sandoval, servicios legales de inmigración directora de Siren (Servicios, Derechos de los inmigrantes, y la red de educación). Sandoval dijo que estos mitos sirven como un elemento de disuasión para los inmigrantes pensan-do en solicitar la ciudadanía. Una de las partes “desconoci-dos” del proceso de ciudada-nía que Sandoval mencionó la posibilidad de una excep-ción de pago de solicitud. también mencionó que al-gunos titulares de la tarjeta verde podrían ser elegibles para tomar el examen de ciu-dadanía en su idioma nativo.

la opción de tomar el exa-men en su idioma nativo, es lo que ayudó a residentes el padre de Guadalupe Gue-rrero. Su padre finalmente tomó su examen de ciuda-danía después de haber sido con su titular de una tarjeta verde por mucho tiempo. en febrero, Guerrero sí misma se convirtió en una ciudada-na naturalizada. ella quiere utilizar su nuevo estatus en el proceso político, “la única manera de hacer los cambios que se conviertan en miem-bros activos de la sociedad, por votación,” dijo ella.

De 73 años, Jinzhi cang, espera con interés la oportu-nidad de votar. cang convir-tió en ciudadana estadouni-dense en septiembre del año pasado. “Una de las cosas que veo a mí mismo hacien-do como un beneficio de la ciudadanía es la capacidad de votar”, dijo cang. “antes de convertirse en ciudadana de estados Unidos, me sentí como una extraña, una per-sona sin una voz que no po-día elegir vivir la vida que me gustaría ver.”

al hacer estos recursos más disponibles Sandoval dijo que la campaña ha na-turalizado más de 120 mil ciudadanos en todo el país. Para más información sobre la campaña nuevos ameri-canos visita www.newameri-canscampaign.org/.

after four years in the hos-pital as a results of her sui-cide attempt, amanda was unable to move one side of her body, speak, or feed her-

self. amanda, with the sup-port of her family decided it was time to return home to die in peace. almost two weeks after her return home she passed away. one of her wishes was to have her or-gans donated. While she could not donate her organs, other body parts were able to be donated per her request.

amanda’s mother, ann Sol-orio Bromwell, started the amanda network as a way to educate the community, in particular parents and schools, about the serious-ness of bullying, cyberbully-ing, and self-harm. She has shared her family’s tragedy with more than 50,000 as a tool to spread awareness and education about bullying.

the Day of awareness and Peace rally features a full lineup of peace promoting

activities. attendees will have an opportunity to share a moment of silence for world peace, form a human peace sign, and hold up two hun-dred plus flags to represent the world,attend a resource fair, and enjoy live music. this year, Miss United na-tions international, will be one of many guest speakers.

exceptional work, dedica-tion, and creative thinking don’t go unnoticed. Hector Gomez has become the first latino Board of Director member for Harman Man-agement, a national consult-ing company.

Gomez, who’s from Jalis-co, Mexico, was a youth leader of a major political party as well as one of the leaders of the federation of students of Guadalajara, a 122,000-member organiza-tion before leaving to the US.

He attended the University of Guadalajara Facultad de Derecho for three years pur-suing a law degree. By 1988 he was granted legal status in the US.

Gomez’ first job was at Kentucky Fried chicken (KFc). By his second day on the job, he was a cook for a couple of months. Within two months he was asked to be a shift supervisor. eight months after that he was second in command.

“the reason i was pushed in that direction is because i never say no,” said Hector Gomez, regional director, Harman Management.

Gomez also made sure to learn other job skills and didn’t ignore the little jobs like cleaning and washing dishes. the result was store manager at a KFc in San ramon, then a second loca-tion in Walnut creek.

over the years, Gomez managed several locations all across the central valley, east Bay, South Bay, and in the state of Washington. His style of managing became well known. His ability to

maximize profitability also helped him stand out.

Gomez’ ideas on things like garnishing plates, having the location clean, and provid-ing great customer service provided a loyal clientele. it’s hard to be in the fast food in-dustry yet he had the num-bers to prove he was doing all the right things.

With the profits he was making, Gomez was asked to become district manager, later to be known as an area consultant. throughout his time he spent at a KFc in oakland, he established a relationship with the police officers. this translated into a safer environment and once again he experienced success.

Harman Management, who provides services to KFc, Pizza Hut, taco Bell, long John Silver’s and a&W, asked him to become regional Director. as direc-tor, he oversees 125 a&W restaurants, 20 long John Silver’s, and 40 KFc stores.

Gomez is also well known for his ability to lead people, influence operations and his innovative marketing solu-tions.

“My favorite part of my job is seeing

other people feel successful because that’s part of my

job,” said Gomez. “I have to develop fu-ture leaders, future board of directors, future area consul-tants. The best part

is to help them achieve that.”

Between 2008 and 2010, Hector was responsible for the successful turnaround of 125 poorly performing multi-brand restaurants. Gomez is a 19 time eagle award recipient for Har-man’s, a four time recipient of the Harman President’s award and, for his role in de-veloping people, he was hon-ored with the Pete award, named after the founder of Harman Management, Pete Harmon.

early on, Gomez learned the difference between the rich and poor from his fa-ther. He’d tell him that the rich guy wakes up earlier to figure out how to make more money and the one that isn’t successful stays in bed. “He said you got to wake up and find what’s going to make you successful and he always told me to be the first, the best, or be different, if not you won’t achieve full poten-tial,” shared Gomez.

Gomez lived up to his fa-ther’s advice. He sees the big picture; he plans ahead, looks at the past, present, and future. He’s willing to try things and recommends building a network. He’s op-timistic, flexible to changes and thinks nothing is im-possible.

currently, Gomez is also a member of the Franchise association Board for long John Silver’s. He works out of Union city in an office filled with books. He has two daughters and a son. He en-joys traveling with his family.

Gomez will be a keynote speaker at the 19th annual Hispanic Business Salute hosted by telemundo area de la Bahia and california Hispanic chambers of com-merce northern region on September 25 in concord.

ethanol and similar “bio-fuels” made from corn and other crops seem like a good idea given their potential for reducing our carbon outputs ,as well as our reliance on fos-sil fuels. But recent research has shown that the federal government’s push to up pro-duction of corn-derived eth-anol, as a gasoline additive since 2007, has actually ex-panded our national carbon footprint and contributed to a range of other problems.

U.S. corn producers started ramping up ethanol produc-tion in 2007 as a result of President George W. Bush’s renewable Fuels Standard (rFS), which mandated an increase in the volume of re-newable fuel to be blended into transportation fuel from nine billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion by 2022. etha-nol now makes up 10 percent

of the gasoline available at fi lling stations.

But environmentalists now say that the promise of etha-nol has turned out to be too good to be true. For one, there is the issue of net en-ergy produced. according to cornell University ecologist David Pimentel, growing and processing corn into a gallon of ethanol requires 131,000 BtUs of energy, but the re-sulting ethanol contains only 77,000 BtUs. and since fos-sil-fuel-powered equipment is used to plant, harvest, pro-cess and distribute ethanol, the numbers only get worse.

the non-profi t environmen-tal Working Group (eWG) warns that continued pro-duction of corn ethanol is not only “worse for the climate than gasoline”, but also bad for farmers, the land and consumers: “it is now clear that the federal corn ethanol mandate has driven up food prices, strained agricultural

markets, increased competi-tion for arable land and pro-moted conversion of unculti-vated land to grow crops.”

additionally, the group re-ports that previous estimates “dramatically underesti-mated corn ethanol’s green-house gas emissions by fail-ing to account for changes in land use,” citing a 2012 study documenting the conversion of eight million acres of Mid-western grassland and wet-lands to corn fi elds for etha-nol between 2008 and 2011. “these land use changes resulted in annual emissions of 85 million to 236 million metric tons of greenhouse gases,” says eWG. “in light of these emissions, many scientists now question the environmental benefi t of so-called biofuels produced by converting food crops.”

Given the potential negative impacts of so-much corn-based ethanol, the U.S. envi-ronmental Protection agen-

cy is reportedly weighing a proposal to cut the amount currently required by law to be blended into gasoline by 1.39 billion gallons. if the federal government decides to do this, it could lower U.S. carbon emissions by some three million tons—equiva-lent to taking 580,000 cars off the roads for a year.

Meanwhile, researchers are trying to develop greener forms of ethanol, but none are ready for market yet. “the lifecycle emissions of ethanol ‘from seed to tailpipe’ depend on how the ethanol is made and what it is made from,” reports the Union of con-cerned Scientists (UcS). the best ethanol, they say, can produce as much as 90 per-cent fewer lifecycle emissions than gasoline, but the worst can produce much more. So there still may be room for ethanol in our energy future, but not if we keep doing it the way we are now.

the federal government’s push to increase production of corn-derived ethanol as a gasoline additive since 2007 has actually expanded our national carbon foot-print and contributed to a range of other problems. Photo: Michael cote.

‘american Masters: the Boomer list’ premiering na-tionwide September 23, 9p.m. on PBS, explores the story of the influential baby boom-er generation (1946-1964) through the lives of 19 iconic boomers--one born each year of the baby boom. Subjects including Samuel l. Jackson, Billy Joel, tommy Hilfiger, amy tan, Maria Shriver, Kim cattrall, erin Brockov-ich, rosie o’Donnell, David lachapelle, ellen ochoa and John leguizamo illuminate the important movements and changes that shaped the world during these years.

“i wasn’t supposed to make it. i just wasn’t. not statisti-cally. i didn’t see my people anywhere that was important, except in the news, which is where you don’t want to be. i just didn’t feel like i was part of the american fabric,” says John leguizamo in ‘american Masters: the Boomer list.’

intimate interviews by filmmaker/photographer timothy Greenfield-Sanders (the Black list, the latino list, the out list) focus on these individuals’ exceptional achievements, struggles and identities, sharing the experi-

ences of these extraordinary americans and the history they lived through and often cre-ated. Subjects illuminate the key movements and changes that shaped the world during the baby boom years, discuss-ing the environment; arts and entertainment; science; civil, lGBt and women’s rights; law; politics; public service; sports; the military; technology and media.

“i was born in 1958, the same year naSa was established, which i like to think of as not a coincidence. i was 11 when they landed on the moon, apollo eleven. and, of course, every-body in the whole world was watching that. But i can tell you, at that time, nobody ever asked a girl, ‘is that something you want to grow up and do?’” recalls ellen ochoa in ‘ameri-can Masters: the Boomer list.’

the Surdna Foundation is is-suing a request for proposals to individual artists, culture bearers and nonprofit arts organizations. these funds are designed to support proj-ects developed in response to communities’ specific chal-lenges and to support artists and organizations whose long-term, deeply-rooted work has increased social en-gagement without necessar-ily being explicitly “activist.” the foundation will consider all artistic disciplines, includ-ing cross-disciplinary work. Successful applicants will receive grants ranging from $25,000 to $150,000 over one or two year periods, with a maximum total award of

$150,000 per year. the re-quest for Proposals is on the Surdna Foundation web-site: www.surdna.org/rfp the deadline for submit-ting a proposal is november 12, 2014 at 11:59 pm eSt. Grants will be announced in april 2015. Surdna’s artists engaging in Social change program works to promote the poten-tial of artists to be catalysts for social change and to pro-mote the cultural traditions of their communities. the foundation values artists and culture bearers ‘who nurture, sustain, and grow our com-munities’ cultural traditions. We therefore support proj-ects that help artists and cul-ture bearers deepen our cul-

tural understanding or help communities achieve social change.’ Proposals will be judged on the quality of the project concept in relation to social change; on each project’s aesthetic rigor and artistic excellence; the artist’s (or or-ganization’s) commitment to a particular community and; and the artist’s (or organiza-tion’s) ability to complete the project and use the financial support effectively. the Surdna Foundation will offer two webinars to answer questions. the first of these calls will take place on tues-day, September 23 at 4:00 p.m. (eDt). the second will take place on october 21 at 1:00 p.m. (eDt).

Based on Lawrence Block’s best-selling series of mystery nov-els, A Walk among the Tomb-stones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed pri-vate investigator operating just outside the law.

When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin traffi cker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the fi rst time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime…nor will it be the last. Blurring the lines between right and wrong, Scud-der races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again.

Thomas wakes up in a lift, moving slowly upward. As the box grinds to a halt and the doors open, he s fi nds himself among a colony of boys who welcome him to the Glade – a large open expanse surrounded by enormous concrete walls. Thomas’ mind is blank. He has no knowledge of where he is, doesn’t know where he came from, and he can’t remember his parents, his past, or even his own name.

Thomas and his fellow “Gladers” don’t know how or why they got to the Glade. They only know that each morning, giant concrete doors that lead to the Maze open. Every night at sunset they close. And every thirty days, a new boy arrives in the lift. The predictable behavior of the Maze made Thomas’ arrival expected. What’s not expected is having the box appear again, less than a week later, carrying Teresa, the fi rst girl to arrive in the Glade.

Thomas learns that each resident of the Glade has a role to play, from gardening to construction to being one of the elite runners who map the walls of the Maze that keep them captive and change confi gurations every night. Maze Runners race the clock to cover as much ground as possible before the end of the day when the Maze locks down and the deadly biomechanical Grievers roam the corridors of the concrete structure.

Even as a newcomer or “greenie,” Thomas feels an unsettling familiarity about the Glade and the Maze. There is something locked away in his memories that might, in fact, be the key to solving the mysteries of the Maze and possibly the world beyond.

When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens.

Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide— driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves.

el pasado viernes, 12 de Septiembre Juan Gabriel fue recibido con una gran ova-ción y empezó deleitar a su público al ritmo de sus gran-des éxitos como “Siempre en mi mente”, “no te guar-do rencor”, “Ha llegado un ángel”, “He venido a pedirte perdón” y entre temas mos-tró sus dotes de bailarín al recorrer lentamente de un lado al otro el escenario, con lo que se ganó la ovación del público.

así saldó una deuda que tenía con sus seguidores del norte de california desde el mes de mayo con un show extenso en el que hizo un recorrido por toda su carre-ra musical. todos los temas que la gente quería escuchar aparecieron envueltos en un marco musical inmejorable. incluyendo “amor eterno” con el cual Juan Gabriel logró el elevar al máximo su gran

presentación de esa noche: todos la cantaron, muchos se abrazaron, otros lloraron y varios grabaron la canción para tenerla de recuerdo.

Juanga aprovechó para dar-le las gracias al público por todo el apoyo y por todas las oraciones por su pronta re-cuperación. recordemos que esta misma gira fue cancela-da por diversas recaídas de salud y hasta varios rumores de enfermedades incurables

han rodeado recientemente a Juan Gabriel en los últimos meses.

Finalmente, se despidió de una vez con Por qué me ha-ces llorar, pero queda Juan Gabriel para rato, tal y como hemos podido constatar por su reciente puesta en escena.

Gabriel se presentara el 28 de septiembre en el oracle arena de oakland. Para bo-letos, visite :https://bit.ly/JuanGabrieloakland.

El cantante recibe Disco de Oro por las ventas de su

más reciente álbum

(notiMex)

con más tres décadas de tra-yectoria artística, el cantante chayanne recibió este miér-coles Disco de oro en Méxi-co por las altas ventas de su álbum “en todo estaré”, por lo que agradeció el apoyo del público y dijo que “iniciaré mi gira mundial en este país, que me ha dado tanto”.

en conferencia de prensa, el intérprete de “Humanos a marte” describió que este disco es para él, el primero de todos, ya que marca una pauta importante en su vida profesional.“estoy súper feliz y complacido con el resulta-do de este disco, en el que hay sonidos nuevos pero siempre seré fiel a mi música pop. Son 14 temas muy variados, en los

que hay un poco de diversos géneros como bachata, reg-gaetón, por mencionar algu-nos”, destacó el boricua.

al preguntarle si el disco tiene dedicatoria especial, chayanne detalló que sí, a su madre, a quien le debe lo que es, ya que para él toda educa-ción inicia desde la casa y la familia.

respecto a cómo se prepa-ra para ofrecer los mejores “shows”, el puertorriqueño contó que hace mucho ejerci-

cio y tiene una buena alimen-tación, además de que el baile es algo que le encanta.

“cuando tengo tiempo sal-go a correr, trato de alimen-tarme bien, así que cuando empiezo a montar mis coreo-grafías me preparo demasia-do para ofrecer lo mejor de mí, además es algo que no me cuesta trabajo ya que en donde esté siempre me estoy moviendo, me gusta mucho bailar y bueno, cantar es mi vida, y cuando te gusta no cuesta trabajo”, precisó.

este álbum será lanzado de

manera oficial el 7 de octubre, sin embargo el público podrá

pre- ordenarlo a partir de hoy en su formato digital y serán dos presentaciones en las que podrán adquirirlo: cD y cD DoBle (Deluxe) con 11 y 22 temas respectivamente.

if you happen to be a person who just can’t seem to fi nd enough hours in the day, it might be time to get an earli-er start. and, if you’ve already tried waking up before sun-rise, only to meet a crashing halt following lunch, these four tips may help:

Tip 1: avoid hitting “snooze” at all costs. try moving your alarm clock far enough away from the bed so you’ll be

forced to stand up and walk to turn it off.

“When you hit the snooze button repeatedly, you’re fragmenting what little extra sleep you’re getting, so it is of poor quality,” says robert S. rosenberg, medical director of the Sleep Disorders cen-ters of Prescott valley and Flagstaff, arizona.

Tip 2: Fuel up with a hearty breakfast. So, you’re probably tired of hearing this advice by

now. yet, if more people ac-tually followed through with it, there wouldn’t be a need to stress it over and over. ac-cording to a January 2014 Penn Schoen Berland study, although nearly 85 percent of americans believe breakfast is important, just over half say they choose to skip it be-cause they don’t have enough time, would rather sleep in or don’t like preparing it. if time is really an issue, consider quick options like Hormel compleats breakfasts, which

can be ready in just 60 sec-onds.

Tip 3: Power up with pro-tein. according to health.com eggs --and even bacon -- can be potent breakfast op-tions to keep you going and give your body the energy it needs to get through the day. Some easy-prep breakfast options -- like the compleats varieties mentioned in tip

number two -- even feature eggs.“eggs are a great source of nutrients,” said Mitch Kanter, Ph.D., executive di-rector of the egg nutrition center. “Just one egg con-tains 13 essential vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein and antioxidants.”

Tip 4: Set an earlier bedtime. if you are a night owl by na-ture, but want to start your

day sooner, gradually shift your bedtime earlier each night. once you fi nd a time that allows you to wake up early and get through the day without feeling like you need a nap, stick to it. the most productive early birds aren’t sleep deprived. as aristotle noted, “it is well to be up be-fore daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth and wisdom.”

adrian Peterson, corredor de los vikingos de Minneso-ta, ha tenido una complica-da semana luego de que se ventilara un nuevo caso de abuso infantil en el que está involucrado, por lo que su equipo decidió inhabilitarlo.

en medio de la polémi-ca que se ha generado en la liga de futbol americano por el caso de ray rice, la aten-ción se ha centrado en otros jugadores con problemas de violencia doméstica, entre

ellos el quien es considerado como uno de los mejores co-rredores actualmente.

Peterson fue acusado de provocarle heridas visibles a su hijo con un cable, por lo que se inició un proceso en los tribunales del que salió en libertad tras pagar una fianza de 15 mil dólares.

Sin embargo, enfrenta una nueva acusación por supues-tamente golpear con la rama de un árbol a otro de sus hijos, uno de 4 años, lo que complicó aún más su ya di-fícil situación. Debido a ello,

sus patrocinadores retira-ron sustanciosos contratos, mientras que una cadena de hoteles suspendió el acuer-do suscrito con los vikingos hasta una nueva evaluación de lo sucedido.

De esta manera y tras la crisis que enfrentan algu-nos jugadores, en la nFl se ha querido dar un ejemplo con sanciones fuertes, por lo pronto adrian Peterson, quien es uno de los jugadores con más potencial económi-co por su imagen, tendrá que permanecer inhabilitado hasta nuevo aviso.

Pumas de la UnaM debe dar partidos de 90 minutos y no sólo de 70, como suce-dió ante tigres de la Uanl el domingo anterior, cuando en la recta final dejaron ir la ventaja de dos goles que fa-bricaron al inicio del juego, aseveró el mediocampista Daniel ludueña.

el “Hachita” está conscien-te de que hacer partidos re-dondos ayudará a la escuadra “felina” a rescatar los puntos necesarios para avanzar a zona de calificación, algo que

deben hacer a la brevedad antes de que se arrepientan de las unidades que han de-jado en el camino.

“no sólo hay que tratar de jugar los 70 minutos buenos, porque no alcanzaron, hoy en día si no juegas esos últimos 25 minutos y le regalas la pe-lota al rival”, puede traer gra-ves consecuencias, aseguró el jugador.

rememoró lo sucedido para que no lo repitan ante Morelia. “esos veinte minu-tos (flojos) que tuvimos el do-mingo tratar de no repetirlos, porque la verdad los pode-mos sufrir contra cualquier

equipo y más de visitantes. ellos estarán en casa y van a tratar de asfixiarnos desde el primer minuto”, advirtió.

en su choque frente al con-junto “purépecha” quieren consolidar la mejoría que se ha dado con la llegada de Guillermo vázquez al timón de los auriazules.

“Hachita” juzgó que ganarle al Morelia el próximo viernes, en su juego de la fecha nueve del apertura 2014 de liga Mx, será “la mejor forma de ratificar el buen momento que está pasando el equipo.

Demita vega deberá esperar hasta el final para conocer si obtiene una de las 13 plazas de México a los Juegos olím-picos de río de Janeiro 2016, luego de seguir su asistencia en el campeonato Mundial y Preolímpico de vela, que se realiza en Santander, es-paña.

esto después de ocho rega-tas, pero ascendió al puesto 12 por nación, lo que la co-loca en zona de clasificación olímpica. las rivales que pe-

lean con la mexicana son la japonesa Megumi Komine y la estonia ingrid Puusta.

“Fue un día durísimo, euro-pa es un lugar de extremos porque o no te toca nada o te toca muchísimo viento; fue una batalla muy fuerte y to-das estamos pegadas en pun-tos”, señaló la competidora.indicó que pese a haber teni-

do un inicio negativo, al final pudo recuperar posiciones hasta llegar a la etapa en don-de debe esperar para saber si tiene o no un cupo a la cita veraniega brasileña del 2016.“todo se va a decidir mañana (jueves). Pensé que lo iba a asegurar un poco antes, pero no está perdido nada, hay que darle con todo mañana para ganar la plaza”, declaró.
