“One of the best ways to bring down costs, providemore choices, and assure quality is a public option that willforce the insurance companies to compete and keep themhonest. I look forward to a product that achieves these im-portant goals.” These are the words of our President BarackObama. And our leader here in the House, Speaker NancyPelosi (D-Calif.), is of the same mind: Real health care re-quires a public option.
We could not agree more. The American public feelsthe same way. In fact, 4 out of 5 Americans support the cre-ation of a new federal health insurance plan that individualscould purchase if they cannot afford private plans offeredthem (2009 Poll by Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates).Even 61 percent of Republicans support this idea. And nowonder, our current system is broken in four fundamentalways.
First, health care is not affordable for American families.Premiums have doubled over the past nine years, a rate threetimes faster than wage increases. Skyrocketing health care
costs continue to crush the pocketbooks of our families andbusinesses. A daunting 62 percent of U.S. bankruptcies in2007 were due to medical costs, compared with 46 percentin 2001. These percentages are projected to rise, as the re-cession rolls on and national unemployment inches evercloser to 10 percent. A public option would provide a criticalsafety net to carry us through the recession.
Second, our system is inefficient, failing to provide cov-erage to 47 million people, including 8 million children. Thisfurther drives up health care costs. The uninsured are lesslikely to visit the doctor regularly and less likely to receivequality primary care and preventive services. As a result, theuninsured have a 25 percent higher mortality risk and higherrates of death from preventable illness than the insured. Apublic option would increase access to primary and preven-tive care, which in the long run would lower costs.
Third, high-quality care eludes many ethnic and racialminorities. In diverse communities - be they Asian, Hispanic,African diasporas, or Native American - cultural and language
barriers pose a challenge to communicating and ultimatelyproviding care. Private providers and insurers have failed tomeet the needs of these underserved communities. The lackof medical interpreters, for example, often leads to devas-tating results, including misdiagnosis or mistreatment. Apublic option, sensitive to diverse populations, would ame-liorate these glaring oversights.
Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, the health careindustry needs a competitive push. Under the public plan,private insurance companies would be forced to competewith an affordable, high-quality option. We would expandchoice in the health insurance market, while allowing fam-ilies to keep the health care plans they like. By increasingchoice and competition, we would lower costs.
In our roles as chairman of the Congressional Asian Pa-cific American Caucus and co-chairman of the CongressionalProgressive Caucus, we are working intimately with our col-leagues in the Congressional Black and Hispanic caucuses toensure that the needs of the most underserved and vulner-
able populations in our country are met. Collectively, all fourcaucuses comprise 112 votes in the House of Representatives- an important fact given that we stand united in our supportof a robust public health insurance option.
While the two of us are supporters of a single-payer ap-proach, we acknowledge the current realities of health carereform and heartily endorse Obama’s commitment to a pub-lic option. Furthermore, we trust that business - specificallythe hospitals among which the president is encouraging con-sensus this week - will do what is right for the American peo-ple. Because we will. That is why we stand with the majorityof the American people, an overwhelming 4 out of 5 Amer-icans support a robust public option available to all. Americacan do better. And Americans deserve better.
Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) is chairman of the Congres-sional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-
Ariz.) is co-chairman of the Congressional ProgressiveCaucus.
Health Care Requires a Public Option

THE PRESIDENT COMMUNICATES VERY WELL
By Hilbert Morales - El Observador
Ocurr
ielcias
By Gil Villagrán, MSW
The cruelty perpetrated against 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard,kidnapped on her way to school, is eclipsed by the incom-prehensible reality she experienced for the next 18 years.
Phillip Garrido (58) and his wife used the child for perverted sex,impregnating her at least twice when she had two daughters. Thefirst when she was only 14 years old. Jaycee’s two children are now11 (the age at which she was kidnapped) and 15 years old, fatheredby Garrido.
Child abduction is the theft of a child from their parents--thecruelest of crimes because parents are left not knowing if the mostimportant person in their lives--their child--is dead or alive.
Child rape is the assault by an adult of a child--sometimes tear-ing genital tissues, causing sexually transmitted infections (includ-ing AIDS), and in the case of female victims, possible impregnation.However, child rape is also the heinous theft of the innocence ofchildren, their unquestioned certainty that they are loved and nur-tured in a harmonious world. Jaycee had her childhood stolen for-ever, a childhood with appropriate stages of human developmentfilled with family, school, friends, preparing for college, her first job,falling in love, perhaps marriage, perhaps choosing to have children.Jaycee was robbed of these very normal experiences.
However, she did have two babies. Children fathered by rapists,are of course totally innocent, and need nurturing, parenting andunconditional love, as do all children. It’s reported that her daugh-ters are in good health, in spite of being born and living in forcedseclusion, squalor, have never seen a doctor or gone to school. Thisis a credit to Jaycee, who is reported to be a loving and nurturingmother to her “babies.” Her family has begun their recovery, andwe can only hope that all three victims of this brutality will findnew lives of normalcy.
However, as a civil society with a vast criminal justice infrastruc-ture of law enforcement, district attorneys, courts, prisons and pa-role agents, we must ask: How is it that this system—withnational, state and local levels—all failed to protect the public froma serial kidnapper and rapist, who was first arrested for druggingand raping a 14-year-old girl in 1972. The teen refused to testify,which is understandable, considering that defense attorneys, pros-ecutors and judges seek to make deals: “no contest” plea bargainsto lesser charges. He walked away a free man.
But by getting caught for such a violent crime and not evenbeing prosecuted, the system’s message was: if no serious conse-quences, why not do it again? And so he did: Five years later, in1977, Garrido kidnapped a woman in Lake Tahoe, drove to Nevadawhere he raped her. He was successfully prosecuted and sentencedto 50 years in federal prison, and a concurrent Nevada state sen-tence. But Garrido was released after 11 years, only 22% of his sen-tence. He was transferred to Nevada to finish his state sentence,but released after only eight months for the rape. He was givenlifetime parole, which means a monthly check-in with a paroleagent--scheduled office or home visits, some unannounced, thatmay last all of ten minutes.
In 1991 Garrido and his wife, who he wed while in prison, re-turn to Lake Tahoe, prowl school bus stops for a child to kidnap, set-tle on the “pretty blond with a wide smile,” and return the nextmorning to snatch her, drive off to Antioch where they kept her forthe next 18 years.
Years later, a neighbor reported to police that she heard childrenin the backyard, possibly living in tents. A sheriff investigated; un-aware Garrido was on parole and a convicted sex offender, or un-trained to realize a search warrant was not required, Garrido wasable to talk his way through the inquiry without inspection.
Likewise, in 18 years, 216 monthly contacts, no parole officerwas curious enough to inspect beyond the home itself, to walkthrough the large yard with locked outbuildings and tents, somehidden under trees and haphazard fences, garbage heaps and ahuman size steel cage. The criminal justice system failed this child,now a woman, and her two children. We must demand answers!
Criminal JusticeSystem Failed Kidnapped Child
President Barack Obama addressedtwo audiences this past week. Thefirst was an address to school-
children where he reminded them that theyare in charge of creating their future. He andhis wife Michelle are the very public exam-ples that education, when addressed withfocus, purpose, and commitment by a stu-dent may result in a successful future voca-tion that cannot always be predicted.
Many saw no reason for all those publicexpressions of concern given much publicityby mainstream media. President Obamaspoke to the children in terms and examplesthat they understood and comprehended. Itis interesting that no concerned commen-taries by opposition sources were given anypublic exposure afterwards. Comments byschool officials were in general favorable be-cause our children, during their formativeyears, need guidance and instruction. In fact,more attention needs to be given to teachingour youth the value of human life (thou shaltnot kill), the usefulness of ethics, morals, anda sense of what is right. A learned ability tobe a member of a team as in teamwork is notenough today.
The second audience addressed thisweek on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 wasto members of Congress in joint session andto the American people. He presented the pa-rameters of a future public policy regardingcomprehensive health care reform. While thePresident declared, “We came here to createa future. I am not the first president to takeup this cause, but I am determined to be thelast.” The U.S.A. is the only wealthy nationthat has no comprehensive health care sys-tem providing access to all.
The President described several situa-tions where persons, covered by insurance,
arbitrarily were denied medical insurancecoverage. He declared that “our health careproblem is our nation’s deficit problem.Nothing else comes close.” I believe that wecan build a comprehensive health care pro-gram upon what works now.” The five con-gressional committees have completed muchwork leading to agreement on 80% of all is-sues and ideas. “The time for bickering isover, we must deliver on health care.”
Three basic goals: a) provide security forthose who now have health insurance; b)provide coverage to those who do not; andc) contain health care costs which now makeup 17% of the national economy. Details ofan acceptable health care policy were pro-vided for the creation of a public option in-surance exchange to create a climate whereinaffordable insurance results. Low cost cov-erage proposed by Senator John McCainwas embraced. Individuals will all be re-quired to purchase health care insurance. All,both individuals and companies, will beasked to do their part.
“Still, given all the misinformationspread by those whose only agenda is to killthis future insurance program at any cost.”The President declared the misinformation“is a lie, plain and simple.”
No federal laws will be used to fundabortions; no death counseling panels arecreated, etc. The President’s guiding princi-ple is simple: “Consumers do better whenthey have choices and options.”
Very few of the public know that in 34states health care insurance is offered by onlyfive or fewer companies who are driven bythe profit motive. The new policy being pro-posed will hold these companies account-able.
The President declared that he will notsign off on legislation, which adds to the fed-eral deficit. All of the proposals being madecan be paid, according to medical profes-sional experts, by the elimination of fraudand waste. Current benefits will not be cut.“I will protect Medicare,” declared the Pres-ident.
The estimated cost of $900 billion over10 years is less than the cost of the wars inIraq and Afghanistan and less than the taxcuts provided by the Bush Administration tothe super-wealthy. The President was as-sertive and vey much a leader in dealing withaddressing this needed policy. He referred tothe work on “that great unfinished business”statement by former Senator Ted Kennedy,who as the liberal lion of the Senate, person-ified the fundamental principles of fairnessand social justice which defines the characterof our country.
The President deserves all the support heis asking for to achieve a new comprehen-sive health care policy that covers all of usincluding the undocumented. PresidentObama has communicated very well to allof us. Now let’s go get it done. Local citizensare encouraged to attend the two Town Hallmeetings where Representative Mike Hondawill be listening to the concerns of this com-munity this coming Sunday, September 13that 1:00 PM, Mayer Theatre, Santa Clara Uni-versity and 3:00 PM, Jewish CommunityCenter, Los Gatos.

SAN JOSE, CALIF. - ValleyHealth Clinic Gilroy, in part-nership with Community So-
lutions and five law enforcementagencies, opened the first Sexual AssaultResponse Team (SART) office in SouthSanta Clara County. The Gilroy locationis needed to help reduce the trauma vic-tims feel as they go through the interviewand exam process after a sexual assault.The new office is located at 7475 CaminoArroyo, Gilroy.
The Gilroy SART Office is madepossible through a collaborative effortamong Santa Clara Valley Health & Hos-pital System, Community Solutions,Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office,
Santa Clara County Deputy Sheriffs’ As-sociation, San Benito County Sheriff’sOffice, and the police departments inMorgan Hill, Gilroy, and Hollister. VHCGilroy provided an onsite location in itsnew building. The Santa Clara CountyDeputy Sheriffs’ Association, San BenitoCounty Sheriff’s Office, and the policedepartments in Morgan Hill, Gilroy, andHollister provided funding for newequipment needed for SART exams,equipment previously only available atthe VMC campus in San Jose.
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’sSART program is a specialized team ofdetectives from sheriff and police agen-cies, VMC nurse examiners and sexual
assault advocates that work closely to-gether with the objective of meeting theneeds of victims while investigating thecrime and gathering evidence. When asexual assault call comes in to police, of-ficers are dispatched to the location, oftena home or hospital. If it’s determined theassault happened within the last 72 hours,and the individual is willing to submit toan exam, a south county victim wouldhave to be transported or drive to SantaClara Valley Medical Center, whichcould take as much as an hour or two.There, a specially trained nurse examinerconducts an interview, performs an inten-sive physical exam for collection of evi-dence, and takes photographs. All thiscan take several hours, and before thisprogram, the individual would have to betransported or drove home.
Through the difficult hours of the in-terview and exam process, sexual assaultadvocates provide support, inform vic-tims of their rights, the step-by-stepprocess, and ask them how the advocatescan ease them through the process.
San Benito County does not have aSART location, requiring that victimsand police agencies travel to VMC.

Si es la primera vez que usted compra se-guro para automóvil, o si está buscandouna mejor oferta, debería hacerse varias
preguntas.Primero, ¿es la persona que le va a vender el
seguro (su agente) un miembro notorio de su co-munidad, alguien que usted conoce y en quiénconfía? En segundo lugar, ¿es la compañía dequién piensa comprar bien conocida? ¿Cuál es sureputación? ¿Qué tal es el precio? Ya que hay cien-tos de compañías compitiendo para su servicio, losprecios varían - algunas veces bastante. Quizás leconvenga comparar precios. Asegúrese que las pri-mas que le den cubran la misma clase de cober-tura.
¿Qué tal es el servicio? El precio es importante, pero ahorrar dinero
no importará mucho a menos que usted obtenga loque necesita, cuando lo necesita. Si es posible,hable con otros clientes acerca de ese agente ypregúnteles cómo han sido
tratados, especialmente si han tenido unreclamo. Averigüe cómo la compañía se encargade los reclamos. ¿Es el método conveniente parausted, sin importar dónde usted tenga un accidente.
¿Qué tan solvente es la compañía? ¿La com-pañía que usted está considerando todavía seguiráoperando cuando usted necesite presentar unreclamo? Cada estado
tiene un departamento de seguros que tiene lainformación financiera de todas las compañías quese encuentran en ese estado. Una vez que se haya
decidido por una compañía y un agente, hay máspreguntas por hacer.
¿Cuánta cobertura necesita? La cantidad mín-ima de cobertura por responsabilidad requeridapuede que no sea suficiente para usted. Tenga encuenta sus necesidades de acuerdo a sus bienes ysus ingresos. ¿Cuánto podría usted solventar si hayun juicio en contra suya porque estuvo
involucrado en un accidente?¿Y el deducible? Los deducibles bajan su
prima-mayormente en cobertura contra choques ycobertura completa— pero sube la cantidad queusted tiene que pagar de su bolsillo. ¿Cuánto sequiere usted arriesgar para ahorrarse dinero en suprima?
¿Debería usted tener cobertura completa ycontra choques? Según va disminuyendo el valorde su automóvil, usted puede considerar abandonarestas coberturas y
ahorrarse dinero en las primas. Pero decida silos ahorros son suficientes como para compensarel riesgo de tener que pagar todo el costo dereparación o de comprar otro automóvil.
El seguro de automóvil es un productoque debe adaptarse a las necesidades de cada
individuo. Su agente puede ayudarle a responderestas preguntas y así poder desarrollar un plan deseguro de automóvil
de acuerdo a sus necesidades específicas yúnicas.

Susan Duran, a San Jose resident, re-members the day that the city of SanJose announced that it would honor
Cesar Chavez by naming a downtown park afterhim.
Having marched and fought for farm work-ers rights with Chavez, she knew that she hadto be a part of the celebration and ceremony.
“This man was a huge part of mine andmany people lives,” Duran said. “I knew I hadto be there to celebrate his life.”
Duran went on to say that the celebrationbegan at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in EastSan Jose, to where the park is presently located.
“There were lots of speakers and festivi-ties,” Duran said. “Today, his memory and whathe stood for is felt when protests and rallies areheld at the park.”
Duran’s is one of many stories that are fea-tured in a new documentary called California ofthe Past: Latino Digital Story Telling. The videowas put together by The California Room at theMartin Luther King Jr. library, in partnershipwith the San Jose State Cultural Heritage Cen-ter.
“We chose to focus on the Latino commu-nity because it is a huge part of San Jose’s past,present and future,” said Stacy Mueller, a librar-ian at the King Library. “The stories are aboutpersonal triumphs and historical events.”
The documentary included 12 videos that
were three to five minutes long and featured sto-ries from people like East San Jose residentsJessie Molina and Maria Perez. Both talkedabout the difficulties of living in the area andcredited different organizations with helpingthem get through the difficult times.
Molina said that if it wasn’t for the Boysand Girls Club, he would have never discoveredart. Perez said that if it were not for church, shewould have lived a life of violence and sub-stance abuse.
Arturo Villareal told his story about what itwas like to be in a Low Rider crew.
“Low Riding used to be about having agood time, meeting new people and maybe agirl if we got lucky,” Villareal said. “Then it be-came seen as a negative. We were always has-sled by the cops and before we knew it, lowriding disappeared.”
Susan Cashion was also featured in the filmshe started the Los Lupenos de San Jose dancecompany.
“We took our productions and toured every-where throughout the United States and evenMexico,” Cashions said.
The San Jose Public Library plans on con-tinuing to work on similar projects.
“We hope to include the lives and experi-ences of all the different cultures in San Jose,”Mueller said.

Around 700 hotelworkers and commu-nity members took
action on Labor Day and marchedfor new citywide contracts at theJustin Herman Plaza near theHyatt Regency Hotel in San Fran-cisco. The contracts will ensure af-fordable health care and fairworkloads.
Hotel contracts affecting 9,000San Francisco room cleaners, dish-washers, cooks, bellmen and oth-ers expired on August 14, 2009. Inthe last ten years, US hotel corpo-rations have generated over $200billion in profits. Yet today, thesecompanies are said to be using theeconomic crisis as an excuse topermanently lower the quality ofSan Francisco hotel jobs by cuttingback healthcare, and pushingworkers to work harder and faster.
The workers are fed up afterexperiencing layoffs and reducedhours. This Labor Day, the work-ers took a stand to stop a funda-mentally profitable industry fromsqueezing them even harder.
Local 2 is the Union of Hoteland Food Service Workers in SanFrancisco and San Mateo Coun-ties. It represents about 12,000workers in the hospitality industry.

Jesus Navarro Ochoa (24) was not born inParis and he did not study music at a pres-tigious school. He learned to play the
piano by simply hearing the instrument beingplayed and is able to elegantly interpret songssuch as “Ballad for Adeline”.
Navarro grew up raising goats in his smalltown of “El Llano” in Michoacán, Mexico. Today heplays “Ave Maria” on the piano at the parish of “ElPerpetuo Socorro” in Calistoga, almost an hourfrom Napa.
International pianist Raul Di Blasio once saidabout his playing, “I feel wings in my fingers”.Jesus says “I feel wounds in mine”. If Richard Clay-derman is recognized as the “Most Popular Pi-anist”, then Jesus is the” Pianist of the Pueblo”.
Navarro picks, prunes and fumigates thegrape fields in Napa and even though the work he
does generates wounds in his fingers, one cannothelp but be surprised by his ability to play thepiano, especially the classical pieces.
His fingers not only touch the piano keys, theytouch and fill the hearts of those who attend thesmall church Navarro plays at.
“Jesus has brought inner peace to our lives.Whenever he plays at our church, I feel contentlistening to the religious songs he plays. God hasgiven him a gift that he shares with us,” said Mar-cia Stagnaro, a resident of Calistoga for over 40years.
“This young man has a grand talent and is anexample for the immigrant Hispanic communityand we must support the talent that is in his heartand soul,” said Manuel Chavez, a priest at the Per-petuo Socorro church.
Navarro arrived in Napa five years ago for thesame reasons that of million immigrants come toCalifornia. In search of a better life. He has beenforced to face unemployment and labor abuse.
Nevertheless, he continues to pursue his dream ofbeing a professional pianist.
Navarro can interpret songs by Tchaikovsky,Vivaldi, Chopin and Bach without being concernedabout the wounds and sores on his fingers.
Navarro learns the melody and when he in-terprets a song, it’s as if he was put in a cabin andimmersed in the 88 keys of his piano that hebought two years ago at a popular supermarket.
In the same way that he enjoys the music ofBusoni or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwigvan Beethoven, Navarro also enjoys being in thefields breathing the fresh air, pruning grapes, andpicking hundreds of pounds of grapes on a dailybasis .
The contact with nature has inspired him tocompose songs that he wants to record soon. Thesong that enchants him the most is “God of theMercy”, a song that was inspired in St. Louis, Mis-souri - the first place where he arrived prior toNapa.
Navarro is 11th out of 13 brothers. After pick-ing grapes in the field, he practices his piano toplay at masses in Calistoga. Navarro never studiedmusic, but knows all the classical pianists like thepalm of his hand.
He does not know what YouTube is, much lessFacebook. He does not use email because he be-lieves personal contact is better between peopleand nature.
Navarro travels two hours from Napa to Cal-istoga to play for a 5pm. mass. He is not concernedabout the distance he has to travel in order toshare his gift with others. The young farmer andpianist already has written 24 songs that hewishes to record. A stroke of luck is all that isneeded to change the life of this talented youngman, although he says he would not leave thefields because that is the source of his inspiration.
To contact Jesus Navarro Ochoa call him at(707) 294-3843.

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), es reconocidocomo uno de los grandes talentospsíquicos de la historia. Su popularidad
alcanzó fama mundial gracias a las biografías quehan sido escritas sobre su vida y obra. Entre estasbiografías resalta una que es considerada la más im-portante “The Sleeping Prophet” (“El Profeta Dur-miente”), escrita por Jess Stearn. Cayce nació el 18de Marzo de 1877 en Hopkinsville, Kentucky.Desde niño, demostró habilidades psíquicas impre-sionantes. Durante su adolescencia descubrió quedurmiéndose sobre sus textos podía memorizarloscompletamente. A la edad de 20 años sufrió de unaparálisis en las cuerdas vocales que le impidió
hablar y de la cual no podía curarse; hasta que lepidió a uno de sus amigos que le asistiera mientrasél experimentaba el estado de sueño inducido y fueasí como pudo memorizar sus textos nuevamente.Ya entrado en trance, Cayce procuró la adecuadasugestión y logró recuperar el habla. También des-cubrió el origen del padecimiento, sugiriendo almismo tiempo el tratamiento más adecuado.Alpoco tiempo un grupo de médicos de Kentucky, sedieron cuenta de los poderes psíquicos de Cayce,quien solamente al tener el nombre y dirección deuna persona en cualquier parte del mundo, éstepodía diagnosticar cualquier problema de salud quela persona padeciera.Al entrar Cayce en el estadode sueño hipnótico era capaz de hacer diagnósticos,recomendar tratamientos, además aclarar las dudas
y contestar preguntas de quienes le consultaban.Fue así como la fama de Cayce logró traspasar lasfronteras de Estados Unidos hacia otros continentes.Entre los grandes eventos mundiales que Cayceprofetizó para el siglo XXI, se encuentran: el de-splazamiento de los polos, el resurgimiento de loscontinentes perdidos Atlántida y Lemuria, la peorhambruna que afectará al continente africano, ladecadencia del Vaticano y la existencia de unanueva potencia mundial que desplazaría a la actuala un segundo plano. Cayce falleció en 1945, díasprevios al final de la segunda guerra mundial.

NOTIFICACIÓN A LOS COMERCIANTES SOBRE EL ACUERDO DE VISA PARA EFECTUAR PAGOS ANTICIPADOS CON DESCUENTO
New York City, 1 de septiembre de 2009Estimados Comerciantes:
Constantine Cannon LLP y Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, Asesores Legales Principales conjuntos de los comerciantes de los Estados Unidos en el asunto In re Visa Check/MasterMoney Antitrust Litigation (In re Litigio Antimonopolio Visa Check/MasterMoney), CV 96-5238, informan a los Miembros del Grupo lo siguiente:
El 1 de septiembre de 2009, el Asesor Legal Principal presentó una propuesta a fin de lograr la aprobación del “United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York” (Tribunal de Distrito de los Estado Unidos para el Distrito Este de New York, [en adelante, el “Tribunal”]) de un acuerdo fechado el 31 de agosto de 2009 con Visa U.S.A. Inc. (en adelante “Visa”). Según este acuerdo Visa aceptó efectuar de manera anticipada los pagos restantes adeudados según el Acuerdo de Liquidación de junio de 2003, realizando para ello un pago único de 682 millones de dólares en la fecha más posterior entre el 30 de septiembre de 2009 y el día hábil siguiente a la fecha en que el Tribunal apruebe el acuerdo (el “Acuerdo de Pagos Anticipados de Visa”), en lugar de que Visa realice los cuatro pagos anuales restantes, de 200 millones de dólares cada uno, programados hasta el año 2012.
Si el Tribunal aprueba la propuesta de los Asesores Legales Principales, éstos podrán efectuar distribuciones en forma de montos únicos de los pagos restantes de Visa a los Miembros del Grupo con reclamaciones aprobadas, en vez de efectuar, durante los próximos cuatro años, pagos a plazos de los montos residuales. No tan solo los términos del Acuerdo de Pagos Anticipados de Visa son comparables a la tasa de descuento obtenida en relación con el pago anticipado aprobado por el Tribunal de los pagos acordados con MasterCard International Incorporated, sino que el Acuerdo de Pagos Anticipados de Visa es, además, más benéfico a los Miembros del Grupo porque, como los Asesores Legales Principales previeron, se eliminarán en gran medida los riesgos bursátiles y los costos administrativos y de la transacción en sí involucrados al proceder con una titularización.
Las objeciones al Acuerdo de Pagos Anticipados de Visa se deben presentar ante el Tribunal a más tardar el 21 de septiembre de 2009, y los objetores deben comparecer ante el Tribunal el 2 de octubre de 2009 a las 3:00 p.m. para exponer las razones por las que no se debe aprobar el Acuerdo de Pagos Anticipados de Visa. Los comerciantes pueden visitar el sitio Web del caso para examinar los documentos presentados por los Asesores Legales Principales en conexión con la propuesta, la presentación del informe del Experto Independiente sobre los beneficios del Acuerdo de Pagos Anticipados de Visa (si está disponible) y la Orden del Tribunal que establece el cronograma para presentar objeciones al Acuerdo de Pagos Anticipados de Visa. Para ello, en el sitio www.inrevisacheckmastermoneyantitrustlitigation.com basta hacer clic en la opción de la barra lateral denominada “Visa Agreement To Prepay Future Payments At A Discount” (Acuerdo de Visa para efectuar pagos anticipados con descuento). La documentación también está disponible en el sitio Web del Co-Asesor Legal Principal, en www.constantinecannon.com.
Es posible obtener detalles sobre los derechos de los comerciantes en virtud del Acuerdo en el sitio Web del caso haciendo clic en la opción de la barra lateral denominada “Merchant/Class Member Rights Under the Settlement” (Derechos de los comerciantes o miembros del grupo en virtud del acuerdo). También es posible obtener ayuda adicional llamando al 1-888-641-4437.

¿Esta listo para el 2012? ¿Ya sabe lo que va a pasar? Algunosdicen que es el fin del mundo otros no. Pero el único quepuede dar respuesta a esto es el creador del universo pero
algo es muy cierto entre tanta conjetura, un nuevo día va a llegar.El cambio especial para el mundo, para el planeta y para la
galaxia es el 21 de diciembre de 2012 última fecha que aparece enel Calendario Maya y de ahí no hay más.
Sin embargo EO entrevistó nuevamente a Ricardo González re-conocido en el mundo como uno de los humanos contactados por ex-traterrestres. Si está leyendo bien, contactado por extraterrestrescuyas experiencias y testimonios han sido comprobados por miles enel mundo pero que sin embargo sigue adelante frente a algunos ex-cépticos que no creen ni en su sombra.
El joven investigador nacido en Perú que ha recorrido el mundode polo a polo y ha pasado los lugares más insólitos y ha presenciadoobjetos voladores no identificados y ha recibido mensajes increíblesregresa al Área de la Bahía para hablar de la antigua ingeniería yprofecía maya y que algunos sugieren que es el fin del mundo el próx-imo 21 de diciembre de 2012.
¡El 2012 NO ES EL FIN DEL MUNDO!, asi que vaya preparándosepara vivir un poquito más. “Es un cambio de transformaciones. Es uncambio de conciencia”, explica González.
El estudioso en asuntos enigmáticos está convencido que la meditación transforma el mundo y los comportamientos humanos. Perolo más increíble es que si todos ponemos en práctica podemos hacerde este mundo un mundo mejor. “Uno puede co-crear su propia real-idad, esta energía está en nosotros mismos”, indica el contactado.
PROFECÍA: ADVERTIR PARA CORREGIR“Las profecías no están escritas para que pasen, sino
que te advierten de lo que puede pasar y la humanidadestá a tiempo de corregir. El ser humano proyecta sucuerpo astral en los campos magnéticos y se logran cosasincreíbles” asegura el estudioso de hechos sobrenatu-rales de orígen peruano.
NO TENGAN MIEDO“Para el 2012 nada malo va a pasar. Esta teoría está
siendo sustentada por la NASA. La NASA ha detectado unagujero negro en el centro de la galaxia que emite radia-ciones y cambia el sol y éste modifica al planeta tierra.Estos cambios se manifiestan en el comportamiento hu-mano. De allí que entre 2010 y 2011 estamos en-frentando crisis y momentos bastantes difíciles. Esmomento de hacer transformaciones”, comentaGonzález.
González ofrecerá una conferencia el próximo 12 deseptiembre en el Centro Holístico Vocacional localizadoen la 2175 de The Alameda Suite 105 entre las 12:00horas y 4pm. El autor hablará sobre el sextolibro que acaba de escribir titulado “De-spués del 2012 ¿Qué nos aguarda alcruzar el umbral?. Mayores informesal (408) 720-9669. Costo $50.

(NAPSA)-The Centers for Disease Con-trol estimates that nearly 22 million schooldays are lost to the common cold every year.This is no surprise to moms, according to asurvey conducted by Braun Research. Nine in10 moms agree that other children who go toschool with cold or flu viruses have causedtheir child to get sick.
To share some easy strategies for mini-mizing exposure to cold and flu bugs, theKleenex brand has teamed up with schoolnurse Jean Grabeel. A mother of two with over30 years of experience in the health care field,Grabeel sees thousands of students each year.
“While it’s true that cold and flu virusesare their worst from October through March,it’s important to remember that bugs are outthere all year,” said Grabeel. “In fact, the Na-tional Association of School Nurses found thatnearly 70 percent of 2008 student illnessesdidn’t happen during the ‘typical’ cold and fluseason.”
Here are some tips Jean recommendspracticing year-round:
• Wash your hands often and for aminimum of 15 seconds, especially beforeeating, after playing outside or using the rest-room.
• Sneezes can spray 100,000 infec-tious droplets into the air at 200 miles per hourand land three feet forward! Whenever possi-ble, use a disposable facial tissue and thenthrow it away.
• Cold and flu viruses are around allyear long, so it’s important to get on an effec-tive sleep cycle and drink plenty of fluids tohelp boost your immune system.
• Sixty-five percent of moms admitthat their child has been sent home fromschool sick. Help avoid this by keeping yourloved ones home when they’re under theweather.
• Cold and flu viruses can live up to24 hours on regular tissues-noteworthy, sincethree-quarters of moms admit to handlingtheir family’s used facial tissues.
Kleenex brand Anti-Viral-an essentialpart of Mom’s virus-fighting toolkit-is theonly tissue that kills 99.9 percent of cold andflu bugs in the tissue. To learn more aboutways to battle cold and flu, visit www.Bat-tletheBug.com.
Nine in 10 moms agree that other childrenwho go to school with cold or flu viruses havecaused their child to get sick.
Tips To Minimize ColdsAnd FluEveryone is talking climate protection these
days. Private businesses have emerged tosell you everything from solar panels for your
rooftops to earth-friendly, alternative fibers and tex-tiles for your household convenience. The public sectoris taking an active role too; from evaluating operationsfor energy efficiency and savings to incentivizing em-ployees to take public transit or carpool to work (thisis a topic I will go into in a future column).
These are all important strides however as we allknow, real change will happen only when each indi-vidual commits to change, and that commitmentshould start as early in life as possible. That is why Istarted the “Cortese Climate Kids Club.” This Club is de-signed to introduce young people (grades 3 through12) to simple tips they can use to address climate pro-tection and build awareness at an early age about pro-tecting Mother Earth.
I will confess that I got the idea from my youngestson, Matthew. About two years ago, when he was 8years old, Matthew told me he wanted to start a clubwith his cousin where the primary mission would beto save the planet. Fairly simple mission! But what ittold me was that kids want to be involved, they justneed a little guidance and support from grown ups.From here the Cortese Climate Kids Club was born.Members sign a card (which is then co-signed by theirparents) pledging to:
Turn off light when leaving roomsTurn off water faucet while brushing teethRide bike to school or to the library with parentsMake sure the heater in their home is set to 68 de-
grees and the A/C is set to 78 degreesBring reusable bags to the grocery storeWherever possible, change light bulbs to compact
fluorescent light bulbs Tell their friends how they can help the environ-
ment After returning their pledge card, members of the
Kids Club will receive periodic updates on volunteeropportunities, tips for saving resources, puzzles andother activities related to environmental protection.The long-term goal is simple but hopefully far-reach-ing: to build generations of individuals who from ayoung age are hardwired to be environmentally mind-ful in their daily practices.
I recently visited a classroom in Berryessa to talkwith kids about the importance of protecting the en-vironment. The whole class signed up to join the cluband a few months later, we honored the class at aBoard of Supervisors meeting here at the County Build-ing. The class took light rail to get here, instead of car-pooling, and they knew exactly how much they hadsaved in carbon emissions by doing so. I’m currentlyon a mission to visit as many youth possible to encour-age their participation.
I have similar visits set up for the coming fall -ranging from classrooms to cultural centers. If youknow someone in grades 3 through 12 who might beinterested in joining the club, or if you are involved ina youth group and would like for me to come out to doa presentation, please contact Steve Blomquist in myoffice at [email protected] or 408-299-5030.
I believe that one child at a time, we can com-pletely reform how we value our natural resources. Asalways, if you have questions or comments on this orany matter, please don’t hesitate to contact me directlyat [email protected] or 408-299-5030.
Challenge your kids!

The second annual Outside Lands music and arts fes-tival wrapped up the summer for many teenagersand adults alike. The three day festival was at
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and if you didn’t knowhow to get there, the Web site took care of that.
The lineup was ready by early June and may peoplewere given the chance to buy their tickets in advance, butif you didn’t get it on time no worries. The box office madeit easy to get your ticket that same day your band was per-forming.
Friday was opened up with bands like Incubus from LAand Kinky from Mexico. The first day of the festival endedwith Pearl Jam and at around noon of Saturday the festivalcontinued.
This day the air was filled with music from Jason Mraz,Black Eyed Peas and Nortec Collective, also from Mexico. TheMars Volta also performed, with Latino lead singer CedricBixler-Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.
Bands like Zion I, Band of Horses, Matt & Kim, MIA, Mod-est Mouse, Dave Matthew’s Band, and even Tenacious D alsoperformed throughout the three days.
Although the festival was made for English music it wasinteresting to see bands like Kinky and Nortec Collectiveperform for some people that might have never heard themotherwise. Outside Lands was a great opportunity to dis-cover music and there was something for everybody.

September 15 is a significant day for the LatinAmerican countries of Costa Rica,Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Sal-
vador. It is the day that these countries declared theirindependence from Spain in 1821.
It is also the start of Hispanic Heritage Month inthe United States. The month recognizes the contri-butions, heritage and culture of Hispanics in theUnited States.
The month begins on September 15 and ends onOctober 15. The independence days of Mexico (Sep-tember 16), and Chile (September 18), are also cele-brated during Hispanic Heritage Month.
Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 as His-panic Heritage Week by President Johnson. Twentyyears later, President Reagan extended the observa-tion to one month.
In San Jose, Mexican Heritage Month will be cel-ebrated at the Mexican Heritage Plaza with the SanJose Mariachi and Mexican Heritage Festival.
The event will feature musical performances byLos Lobos, Linda Ronstadt, Joan Baez and Carlos San-tana. There will also be a celebration honoring CesarChavez.
