Silicon Valley Activist Consuelo Santos-Killins passed away on Jan. 30, 2012 from cancer. Kil-lins served on several councils and boards rang-ing from the community level to a state level. Her life and career were dedi-cated to helping others.

She was chair of the Cali-

Community Activist Passesfornia Arts Council for 12 years. The California Arts Council is a state agency whose mission is to encour-age participation in the arts as well as promote aware-ness to the value of arts.

For eight years Kil-lins was the Executive Director of Silicon Val-ley Economic Develop-ment. Her position assisted those with low incomes to become entrepreneurs.

Killins directed the In-stitute for Arts and Letters at San Jose State for five years. During this time, she coordinated 18 arts organi-zations and 12 institutions.

She also worked with Economic and Social Opportunities, an an-tipoverty agency, as the Director of Community Re-lations and Public Affairs.

Killins served on other

councils within the commu-nity, even co-founding the Friends of Guadalupe River Park. Friends of Guada-lupe River Park work with the community to develop and actively use the land.

Along with her list of community accomplish-ments, she has an equally impressive academic back-ground. Killins received a Bachelors and Masters of Arts degree in English from

DePaul University in Chica-go, Illinois. She also received a Nursing degree from the University of Houston.

The community has rec-ognized Killins by bestow-ing upon her a long list of awards. The National Association of American Penwomen, San Jose State University and the Califor-nia State Assembly are just a few of the organizations that have recognized her.

She is survived by her husband, Richard, son, Greg and daughter Victoria.

SAN JOSE, CA

Carlos Ponce Martínez, the Consul General of Mex-ico in San Jose, and Cindy Chavez, executive direc-tor of Working Partner-ships USA, announced a partnership to outreach to Silicon Valley grocery work-ers a new health and safety training program called HEAL (Health Education And Leadership) to protect them in their workplaces.

The outreach will be to enroll 160 grocery workers in a pilot program designed by Working Partnerships, the Labor Occupational Health Program (LOHP) at the University of California, Berkeley, United Food and Commercial Workers Lo-cal 5, and funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Supermarket work has been identified as among the most injury- and ill-ness-plagued of all service

Cooperative outreach for grocery workers’ safety training

industry occupations in the United States because of the hazards of heavy lift-ing, sharp cutting tools, chemical exposure and ex-tended work periods in re-frigerated work spaces. In Santa Clara County, these hazards are faced by a work force of 15,000 supermar-ket workers. Sixty-five per-cent are people of color, often with little or no Eng-lish-language proficiency, and many are vulnerable to exploitation because of their immigration status.

The HEAL program is one facet of Working Partnership’s Food Justice Project. Its purpose is to ensure that supermarkets are safe workplaces for em-ployees and that workers know how to work safely.

The program begins Thursday, Feb. 16 when a group of grocery worker leaders will undergo an in-tensive training designed by LOHP to qualify them as health and safety trainers.

They will learn about health and safety standards, work-ers’ rights at the workplace and how to train others. Once trained, they along with Working Partnerships staff will present free four-hour workshops on grocery store health and safety open to any worker in the gro-cery industry. There will be two sessions on Wednes-day, March 21, one at 10 a.m. and another at 4 p.m.

Interested grocery workers should call Jamie Chen at Working Partner-ships at (408) 269-7872 or by email at [email protected] for more in-formation or to RSVP.

Once the training regi-men and curriculum are proven in this pilot program, Working Partnerships plans to offer occupational safe-ty and health training as part of its ongoing menu of training programs targeted at people of color and the ec-onomically disadvantaged.

The outreach will be to enroll 160 grocery workers in a pilot program.

Friends and Family are invited to celebrate her life on her birthday, Saturday February 25th at 5:00pm at the Chapel Of Flowers , 900 South Second Street (at Martha), San Jose.

OCURRIELCIAS

Everybody needs to take time to read the “Declara-tion of Independence” and the U.S. Constitution. These essential documents, espe-cially the first 10 amend-ments, known as the Bill of Rights, must be read and understood. Many try to circumvent these ide-als in so many ways today.

President’s Day in 2012 is on Monday, February 20th. The President is the ‘Chief Executive Officer’ (CEO) of our nation in addition to being the ‘Commander in Chief ’ of American mili-tary forces. Too often people think of the President only as the Commander in Chief. Lately, as a consequence of the bipartisan gridlock in the U.S. Congress, it has been incumbent upon Presi-dent Obama as the ‘CEO’ to get as much accomplished as possible using the executive responsibilities already enu-merated in the U.S. Constitution.

In fact, one prominent responsibility is the State of the Union address deliv-ered to the combined ses-sion of the U.S. Congress during January of each year. During this presentation, President Obama proposed that Congress begin to en-act legislation needed to take care of the ‘business of the people’, specifically taxation reform, jobs, and extension of unemployment benefits, immigration re-form, the national security, and the national debt. He had already crafted admin-istrative changes, such as the Office of Consumer Af-fairs, which the Republican ideologues do not care for at all, because now the people have a high level adminis-

BECOME WELL GROUNDED AND ROOTED

trator responsible for en-suring that consumers get a fair deal and understand the deals they agree to.

The American people must become well rooted and grounded in the con-cepts and ideals that are embedded, both explicitly and implicitly, in the U.S. Constitution and the Dec-laration of Independence. Why? Because American ideals and dreams have be-come endangered by the greedy lust for wealth and power as exhibited by a small number of very con-servative zealots. These in-dividuals now include cor-porations, which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that ‘corporations are individu-als’ who have the right to speak with their money, which was ruled to be pro-tected by the First Amend-ment (Freedom of Speech).

The outcome since this ruling has been the forma-tion of ‘Super-PACs’ which may receive funds anony-mously. These independent Super Political Action Com-mittees may keep the names of their donors secret. They use these funds to influence election outcomes. PACs purchase media time and broadcast their message without revealing what is behind that message. Also, the ability of common folk to discern how much is sim-ply propaganda is severely curtailed. The propaganda is repeated over and over again on TV and radio until individuals begin to accept that often repeated message as factual and truthful. This process often results in the indoctrination of many who believe the falsehoods pre-sented over and over again.

The ability to fund in-formation spin-meistering, and then broadcast those propaganda falsehoods, are now a danger to our democratic form of gov-ernment. Josef Goebels of Nazi Germany (World War II propagandist) would

smile at the creative uses of today’s Super-PACs.

How can this be correct-ed? Simply stated, it is nec-essary to have all efforts by any PAC become subjected to authorized monitoring. Why monitor all these PAC activities? Simply because the truth and facts of the matter/issue will prevail. Americans have a very strong sense of fair play.

Elected officials, when elected by constituents, are beholden to those vot-ers. Elected officials who are elected because of large funding from special inter-est sources are not likely to respond to, or take care of, the people. Elected of-ficials who were assisted by very massive amounts of money will be beholden to those special interests that donated the funds. And anonymous donations protect them from inquiry, which enables others to be-come aware of their inten-tions or objectives. A very likely outcome is that ‘the government by the people, for the people, and with the people’ is thwarted from be-coming reality by the stra-tegic placement of ‘wealth’.

What does all this have to do with the President’s Day Holiday? Well, as the nation’s CEO the President must take administrative steps to ensure that abu-sive unethical and unfair political practices are ex-posed to the public. The President as CEO must act in the interest of, and on behalf of, the Ameri-can people despite conflict of interest issues. This is the exact opposite of what the special interests desire.

Reading those two es-sential documents will enable you to know the basic American ideals. It is essential to be well grounded and rooted.

Con sólo 48 años de edad y, seguramente, grandes oportunidades de volver a brillar, se apagó la luz de una de las estrellas más au-tenticas. Whitney Houston, dejo de ser. Perdió la bata-lla contra sus adicciones.

Y mientras con justicia el mundo entero la recuerda y la llora, yo me pregunto que le espera a nuestra sociedad.

En los últimos años ar-tistas como Michael Jack-son y Amy Winehouse han dejado una estela de do-lor en sus admiradores al perder batallas similares. Y no es que estas situacio-nes sean particulares del mundo del espectáculo. No. Es que allí los prota-gonistas son más visibles.

La dependencia a las dro-gas – de todo tipo – y al alco-hol cobra miles de víctimas cada día. Muchas de las víc-timas son menores de edad.

De acuerdo con una en-cuesta reciente de alcance nacional publicada por el Instituto Nacional de Salud el 16 por ciento de los alum-nos de octavo grado informó haber consumido alcohol en el último mes, el 32 por cien-to de los alumnos del mismo nivel confesó haber bebido en el último año y el 64 por ciento de ellos consideró “fácil” conseguir alcohol.

Los jóvenes que beben presentan mayores proba-bilidades de resultar víc-timas de delitos violentos, sufrir accidentes de tránsito y tener problemas escola-res serios como consecuen-cia de ello. Pero los padres pueden ser la diferencia.

La influencia de los padres puede ser deter-minante en el hábito de beber que desarrollen sus hijos, especialmente du-rante la pre-adolescencia y la adolescencia misma.

Si usted es padre de fa-milia, es importante que considere seriamente la posibilidad de que sus hi-jos adolescentes caigan en la tentación del alcohol.

Whitney, sus hijos y usted

¿Cuáles son las reglas en cuanto al alcohol en su casa?

¿Ha tenido usted una con-versación seria sobre el uso de sustancias con sus hijos?

¿Está usted suficien-temente enterado de las actividades de sus hijos?

¿Sabe quiénes son sus amigos y que ha-cen cuando están jun-tos lejos de las aulas?

De acuerdo con el Insti-tuto Nacional para el Abuso de Alcohol y el alcoholismo – NIAAA – de los Insti-tutos de Salud de Estados Unidos el alcohol es la dro-ga favorita de los jóvenes.

Lamentablemente para muchos padres el consu-mo del alcohol no repre-senta una situación grave. Olvidan que el licor es una droga poderosa capaz de alterar el estado de áni-mo de las personas y afec-tar su mente y su cuerpo de modo impredecible.

A ello se suma que los adolescentes carecen del juicio y la capacidad ne-cesarios para sobrellevar adecuadamente las conse-cuencias del consumo de alcohol y estudios científicos recientes han demostrado que el consumo excesivo de alcohol en la adolescencia tiene serias consecuencias cognitivas a largo plazo.

El abuso del alcohol es un riesgo que sus hijos no deberían correr. Por eso es indispensable que usted hable con ellos, conozca sus actividades, contro-le el consumo de alcohol en su casa, se comunique con otros padres para es-tablecer controles y sobre todo: de un buen ejemplo, no permita que su luz se apague antes de tiempo.

On Thursday, February 9th, members of the San Jose Police Officers Asso-ciation, San Jose Firefight-ers Local 230 and the IF-PTE Local 21 (representing AEA, CAMP and AMSP) filed a formal complaint against San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, San Jose Re-tirement Department Di-rector Russell Crosby and former City employee Mi-chael Moehle, accusing them of knowing, mislead-ing and misrepresenting to the Council and the public the true and accurate 5-year projections for City contri-butions to retirement plans.

“Public Officials are re-quired to tell the truth,” said Christopher E. Platten, who filed the complaint on behave of the police, fire-fighters and union members involved. “We have collected over 800 signatures saying that Mayor Reed and other City Officials broke the law.”

At the City Council meet-ing held on February 14th, 2011, Crosby estimated that the City’s projected pension cost would be $650 million, not the $400 million that was projected. Moehle was present when Crosby made

Ethics Complaint Filed Against Reed, Othersthis statement and did not attempt to correct him. In an interview with NBC Bay Area, Crosby stated that this figure “came off the top of my head”, and was made with without any independent actual analy-sis or support. He also ad-vised Mayor Reed not to use the $650 million figure.

On June 3rd, 2011, May-or Reed released his “June Budget Message for fiscal year 2011-2012”. The May-or wrote in his message, “That could cause retire-ment costs to jump to $650 million per year by 2016.”

“This statement was made off Crosby’s state-ment and was without fac-tual background,” Platten said. “The $650 million statement is inaccurate.”

The Mayor’s Budget Mes-sage was adopted by the City Council on June 14th, 2011.

NBC Bay Area News posted an email on its web-site from Michael Moehle to Gene Kalwarski, Bill Hall-mark and Anne Harper, of the Cheiron firm, instruct-ing them to follow certain rules when preparing their projections regarding the City’s retirement plans. Cheiron was directed to disregard known historical

events which include the 10 percent pay cuts to all city employees, the high double-digit market asset gains in each retirement plan and the impact of layoffs, retirements and employ-ee position eliminations.

On July 20th, 2011 per Crosby’s instructions, Cheiron released a let-ter to Crosby containing its “independent” 5-year projection of City re-tirement contributions.

“The number that Chei-ron came up with was $431 million,” Platten said. “This was much less than the $650 million used by the Mayor in his June 3rd, 2011 Budget Message.”

Cheiron revised their cost projections in November and December of 2011, and concluded that the City con-tribution costs would be ap-proximately $295.4 million for the fiscal year 2015-2016, $354.5 million less than what Mayor Reed stated.

“Mayor Reed lied about the retirement cost and as a result, many police of-ficers and firefighters were laid off when they should not have,” Platten said. “It’s time to hold Mayor Reed, Crosby, Moehle and all those involved accountable.”

Over 800 signatures from Police Officers, Firefighters and other Union Workers were collected indicting that Mayor Reed lied about the projected retirement cost.

Officials announced that the Santa Clara Val-ley Transportation Author-ity’s (VTA) BART Silicon Valley Project has been included in the President’s $74 billion proposed U.S. Department of Transpor-tation (DOT) budget as a $150 million allocation in funding for Federal Fiscal Year 2013. VTA requested a total of $900 million in federal funding through the Federal Transit Adminis-tration’s (FTA) New Starts Program for the Berryessa Extension, the first 10-mile

VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Project Included in President’s Fiscal Year 2013 Budget

phase of BART Silicon Valley. Execution of a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) for $900 million is expected by mid-March.

The FFGA is a multi-year contractual agreement be-tween the FTA and VTA that formally defines the project scope, cost and schedule, and establishes the terms of the $900 million in federal financial assistance. Follow-ing the FFGA, VTA plans to break ground on April 12. Construction on the Ber-ryessa Extension is planned for 2012-2016, with system testing and passenger ser-

vice beginning soon after.

The Berryessa Exten-sion is a 10-mile, two sta-tion project, beginning south of the future BART Warm Springs Station in Fremont, through Milpitas and ending in the Berryes-sa area of north San Jose. Once completed, thousands of jozbs will be created to operate and maintain the system and support tran-sit oriented development.

The President’s bud-get for the current fiscal year includes $100 million bringing the total to $250 million in federal funds.

SACRAMENTO, CA

Higher education and social justice advocates called on the California Legislature to strengthen California’s oversight of private postsecondary pro-grams, pointing to trends revealing that low-income students and students of color disproportionally at-tend private, for-profit schools, subjecting these students to high loan bur-dens and default rates and poor graduation results.

The remarks came as the California Assembly Higher Education Committee and Senate Business, Profes-

Advocates call for stronger standards and accountability for private post

secondary schools Say California Low-Income Students and Students of

Color Hardest Hit by Bad Actors

sions and Economic Devel-opment Committee held a joint oversight hearing to ex-amine California’s effective-ness in assuring the qual-ity of private postsecondary education institutions, in-cluding for-profit schools.

“The goal of our higher education system is some-times described as provid-ing as many Californians as possible with access to college and career prepa-ration opportunities. But access alone is not enough. We have to ask ‘access to what?’” said Jamienne S. Studley, president and CEO of Public Advocates Inc., a nonprofit civil rights law firm and advocacy orga-nization, in her prepared remarks. “If our goal were to provide low-income neighborhoods and indi-viduals with access to good banking services, we would not count opening more payday lenders as success.

“We have a special com-

mitment to assuring that those who need these oppor-tunities most — low-income people and people of color, first-generation college go-ers, returning veterans, and laid off and underemployed workers — reap the ben-efits of higher education that yields quality outcomes and prepares students for stable, family-supporting jobs and civic engagement.”

Studley pointed to data from the U.S. Department of Education showing that while African-American and Latino students make up 37 percent of all under-graduates in California, they represent 57 percent of undergraduates attend-ing California for-profit schools. Further, students of color attend some of the lowest-quality schools. In The Costs of Failure Fac-tories in American Higher Education, the former U.S. Commissioner of Educa-tion Statistics found that

more than 60 percent of African-American students at for-profit schools attend-ed institutions that gradu-ate less than one third of their students. The College Board found that the gap between completion rates for African-American stu-dents and those for white and Asian students is larg-er in the for-profit sector than in the public and pri-vate not-for-profit sectors.

Studies also show dis-parities by income. “Over half of the dependent stu-dents enrolled in for-profit institutions in 2007-08 were from families with in-comes below $40,000,” ac-cording to the same report.

Studley is past president of Skidmore College and general counsel of the U.S Department of Education. She currently chairs the National Advisory Com-mittee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NA-CIQI), which advises the Secretary of Education on accreditation and higher education accountability.

Studley challenged leg-islators, state agencies, the Attorney General, accredi-tors and postsecondary in-stitutions “to implement a strong oversight system that effectively distinguishes between institutions that provide quality programs and operate with integrity and transparency and those that do not.” Public Advo-cates’ recommendations included assuring students comparable, verifiable in-formation to help them make wise choices and state investigation of com-plaints for all institutions.

“The good news here is that you have the author-ity and an agency in place, the resources involved are modest, and you can make real headway if you have the political will and cour-age to support a process that weeds out those schools that fall short,” Studley said.

In every community, people find inspiration in the actions, accomplish-ments or dignity of someone they know or have heard about. This is your chance to tell the story about some-one who has inspired you, or about something you may have done to inspire others. De La Rosa & Co. (DLR) invites seniors on track to graduate in 2012 to write an original and creative es-say from 600 to 800 words reflecting on the observa-tion by Maya Angelou that, “Each of us, famous or in-famous, is a role model for somebody, and if we aren’t, we should behave as though we are – cheerful, kind, loving, courteous.

The University of Cali-fornia and former UC Davis students and women wres-tlers Arezou Mansourian, Christine Ng, and Lauren Mancuso announced that they have reached an agree-ment to settle the issues re-maining after the findings made by a federal judge last August in the liability phase of trial in the case. The court found that the University violated Title IX of the Edu-cation Amendments of 1972 by not sufficiently expand-ing intercollegiate athletic opportunities for female stu-dents at UC Davis between 1998 and 2005, the years that plaintiffs were in atten-dance. The court dismissed Plaintiffs’ claim against four University employees (all now retired), holding that they did not violate the Equal Protection Clause or were entitled to qualified immunity in their handling of plaintiffs’ requests relat-ing to women’s wrestling.

The damages phase of the trial on the Title IX claim was scheduled to start on March 5, 2012. The parties chose instead to resolve all

Parties Announce Settlement of U.C. Davis Title IX

remaining issues, includ-ing any possible appeals, with payment by the Uni-versity of $1,350,000 to plaintiffs’ counsel for attor-neys’ fees and costs incurred during the lengthy case.

Arezou Mansourian, Christine Ng, and Lauren Mancuso were recruited by the UC Davis wrestling coach and came to Davis in order to pursue varsity wres-tling. All three were pioneers in women’s wrestling. Man-sourian placed at the North Coast sectionals in high school and won numerous tournaments.

Seguir algunas suge-rencias podría ayudar a evi-tar a que muchos dueños de casa que lidian con hipote-cas y otras deudas vayan de mal en peor.

Se puede obtener asis-tencia gratuita de parte de un consejero de vivienda aprobado por el Departa-mento de Vivienda y Desa-rro llo Ur bano de EE .UU. (HUD), llamando al (888) 995-4673 o visitando makinghomeaffordable.gov.

En cuanto a individuos o compañías que ofrecen asistencia para modificar hipotecas o evitar ejecució-nes hipotecarias, las reglas de la Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC) prohíben el cobro de tarifas por adelan-tado, requieren divulgación clara y prohíben promesas e rróneas o engañosas.

Los expertos de la Ofici-na del Contralor de la Mo-neda sugieren que usted se cuide de las siguientes 10 afirmaciones:

1. “Páguenos $1,000 y salvaremos su hogar”. Las compañías no pueden co-brar tarifas hasta que usted tenga una oferta escrita y aceptada por su prestamista además de un documento

Evite fraudes de rescate de ejecución hipotecaria

que describa los cambios principales en su hipoteca.

2. “Le garantizo que sal-varé su hogar, confíe en mí”. Cuídese de garantías como ésta. Los proveedores deben darle evidencia real y ver-dadera para respaldar cual-quier promesa que hagan.

3. “Transfiera el título de su propiedad y le dejaremos vivir en su casa”. Transferir un título de propiedad le da al que lo recibe el poder de desalojarlo, de subir su al-quiler o de vender su hogar, y usted tendrá que seguir pagando la hipoteca.

4. “Deje de pagar su hipo-teca”. No confíe en nadie que le diga que deje de pa-gar su hipoteca, aún si esta persona promete pagar por usted. Usted podría perder su hogar y dañar su califica-ción crediticia.

5. “Si su prestamista llama, no hable con e llos”. Los proveedores no pueden decirle que deje de comuni-carse con su prestamista o admi nistrador de servicios hipotecarios.

6. “Su prestamista nun-ca tuvo la autoridad legal de darle un préstamo”. No preste atención a nadie que le diga que “leyes secretas” pueden eliminar su deuda.

7. “Sólo firme esto ahora; nosotros nos encargamos de llenar los espacios en blanco más tarde”. Lea y compren-da bien todo lo que firma. Nunca deje que nadie llene formularios por usted. No deje que nadie lo presione a firmar nada.

8. “ Llame al (800) Fed-Loan”. Cuídese de las com-pañías que imitan a progra-mas federales oficiales. Los proveedores le deben decir que están afiliados al go-bierno.

9. “Declárese en quiebra y mantenga su hogar”. De-clararse en banca rrota sólo detiene la ejecución hipote-caria temporariamente. Si usted no hace los pagos de su hipoteca, el tribunal de banca rrota eventualmente permitirá que el presta-mista realice la ejecución hipotecaria. Algunos es-

tafadores pueden declarar banca rrota en su nombre, sin su con ocimiento, para detener la ejecución hipo-tecaria temporariamente y darle la impresión de que han negociado un nuevo acuerdo en su nombre.

10. “¿Por qué no ha res-pondido a nuestra oferta? ¿Quiere terminar viviendo en la ca lle?”. Tácticas de alta presión indican que hay problemas.

On February 9th, At-torney General Kamala D. Harris announced that California secured up to $18 billion for its distressed homeowners as part of a $25 billion national mul-tistate settlement with the country’s five largest loan servicers. More than $12 billion will be used to offer short sales or write down loans over the next three years for about 250,000 underwater homeowners in California, according to the attorney general. Relief will go to areas hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis within the first year of the settlement.

Although the actual set-tlement has not yet been re-leased, the attorney general has stated that other finan-cial benefits for California include $849 million for refinancing 28,000 borrow-ers who are underwater but current on their payments; $279 million restitution for 140,000 homeowners who were foreclosed upon between 2008 and 2011;

State Attorney General secures 18 billion for

Distressed Homeowners

$1.1 billion for unemployed homeowners, transitional assistance, and repairing blight; $3.5 billion to ex-tinguish unpaid loans that remain after foreclosure for 32,000 homeowners; and $430 million to the state attorney general’s office for costs and fees. As part of a California guarantee, if the lenders fail to reduce princi-pal balances by a minimum of $12 billion, they will be required to pay fines up to $800 million to the state.

The loans involved in this settlement are those owned or serviced by Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and Ally Financial Inc. The settlement releases the five named lenders from certain federal and state claims per-taining to robo-signing and other foreclosure miscon-duct by the lenders. It does not affect any individual’s rights to bring legal action against a lender. It also does not apply to the majority of mortgage loans, which are those owned by Fan-nie Mae or Freddie Mac.

This mortgage settle-ment does not change any homeowner’s existing fi-nancial relationship with a settling lender. It does not relieve homeowners from any obligation. It does not require a settling lender to stop any foreclosure.

Last Thursday evening, February 9, Center for Training and Careers (CTC) received a Community Hon-oree award, nominated by District 7 City Council Mad-ison Nguyen at the Mayor’s State of the City Address.

CTC has served the community since 1977, providing unique opportu-nities that lead to reward-ing and productive lives.

CTC offers numerous programs such as the Youth Opportunities GED Prepa-ration, providing youth ages 17-21 with education and training options that will place them in a career; Workforce Development and Training in Adminis-trative & Technical Health, Microsoft Office, and the Green Careers Acad-emy training that leads to OSHA, Blueprint Read-ing, Solar Green, LEEDS, and Home Energy Rater

certification. A multi-craft pre-apprenticeship course is the core curriculum.

Another program offered is the Skills to Succeed Pro-gram, providing free sup-

portive services to help men and women overcome life’s obstacles and successfully complete a job-training pro-gram in a non-traditional occupation. The goal of the

Skills to Succeed Program is to provide participants with the information, skills and support to be self-sufficient and to enter into a career of Construction Pre-Appren-ticeship and a “green” focus.

One of the women stu-dents in the Re-entry pro-gram said that the students feel welcome and knows that CTC cares and provides a great support system to help them succeed. Both Lori Ramos who oversees the programs and Irma Molina who coordinates the pro-gram says that what helps the students are the warm breakfasts and bags of food they provide, financial lit-eracy and budgeting money, the AA Recovery meet-ings, the Women’s Circle, the physical fitness classes, and the general writing of a journal, all help them toward a successful path.

Last but not least is a Day Worker Center that provides skilled day laborers that will paint, window repair, do lawns, housecleaning, fence repair, landscape, spring clean from 2 hours to 4 days.

CTC is located at 749 Story Road, Suite 10, in San Jose, and Rose Amador, is the President and CEO of this successful training cen-ter. For information con-tact them at 408.213.0961.

Over 500 union janitors marched through the heart of Silicon Valley with com-munity and faith leaders to draw attention to the im-pact of inequality on both working class and middle class families. As part this statewide action, the jani-tors’ union, SEIU United Service Workers West (USWW), released a study that estimates that The 1%, through its economic pow-er, has effectively lessened the incomes in 2010 of mid-dle class families by $9,200 and working families by $10,200. (Study attached)

“This year we are not just fighting for janitors” noted Martha Ramos, “but for the entire 99% who are being held back from a better life.” Martha works as a janitor, clean-ing offices in Silicon Valley.

Income inequality has taken center stage in the na-tional discussion since the rise of the Occupy Move-ment. The study, “How Much is The 1% Holding Back Your Family?” which goes back to the end of World War II, estimates how much more the income of working and middle class families would have increased if each income group would have been al-lowed to continue to re-ceive a similar share of in-come as it had during this period of great prosperity.

Janitors and Community Rally to Denounce “The 1% Holding Us All Back”

Service workers march for equality across state.

“The janitors that make up our union are very much part of the 99% Move-ment” noted SEIU Union Service Workers West First Vice President Lauren Ja-cobs. “We know we cannot continue to progress while everyone else is being held back: teachers and nurses, accountants and food serv-ers, engineers and doctors, immigrants and the na-tive born. It is time for all of us to take on The 1%.”

In 2012, 30,000 of US-WW’s 40,000 members’ collective bargaining con-tracts are expiring, includ-ing office and tech janitors; security officers who help protect downtown high ris-es, Hollywood Studio jani-tors, San Francisco apart-ment workers, and LAX and SFO airport workers. On April 30th the contracts for janitors expire in Silicon Valley, the East Bay and the Sacramento region, in ad-dition to those contracts covering janitors in Los An-geles and Orange County.

The janitors and security officers work for contractors who clean the offices of real estate landlords and their corporate tenants. Over the last decade, the jani-tors and security officers who make up USWW have lifted their wages above poverty and gained health care benefits. Throughout the year, these workers will be marching with Occupy and the 99% Movement.

On a cloudy early Satur-day morning, when most students would still be sleep-ing, about 1,500 5th through 10th grade Latino students and their parents attended the 3rd Biennal Advanc-ing Latino/a Achieve-ment and Success Confer-ence (ALAS) at San Jose State University (SJSU).

SJSU, in partnership with National Hispanic University (NHU) and the Santa Clara County of Superintendents Associa-tion, held the conference to boost college attendance

Conference promotes higher education to Latino studentsand graduation rates by offering Latino students and their families informa-tion and encouragement.

More than 100 profes-sionals provided infor-mation on careers, voca-tions, financial advice and personal testimonies in 65 different workshops. Workshops were held in English and Spanish.

SJSU President Moham-med Qayoumi, along with NHU President David Lo-pez, welcomed the crowd in both English and Spanish.

“We want to demonstrate to students and their parents that a college education is indeed attainable especially

when you start planning early for the college applica-tion process,” said Qayoumi.

Lopez reminded the crowd that after the civil war, the African-American community had 77 col-leges that developed pro-fessionals and leaders of their community. NHU is the only university in the nation that is dedicated to developing Hispanic professionals and leaders.

“Our Chicano-Hispanic-Latino community needs to have future trained lead-ers and that is the destiny of those of you present to-day here,” said Lopez. “The community needs you more than ever because we are al-ready 42% of the residents of California. I encourage you all to prepare for college.”

Luis Valdez, playwright, writer, and the director of the film, “La Bamba” served as the keynote speaker. Val-dez is also a SJSU alum.

Valdez began his pre-sentation in Spanish to di-rectly address the parents.

“You must guide your children towards as much education as possible,” said Valdez.

“Our community needs them in the future as pro-fessionals who take care of us and as community leaders who represent us directly in the City coun-cils, the county board of supervisors, and at the California State Assembly.”

Valdez continued his speech switching from English to Spanish.

“I’ve come to urge you today to think about high-er education,” said Valdez. “They are fishing for you to put you in prison, so they can make money off of you, the only way you can fight that is [with] education.”

Valdez came from a migrant farm work-er family background.

“I didn’t want to be a farm worker, I wanted to be something else,” said Valdez. “I recall back in 1958 when I came to SJSU. We were tru-ly a minority then because not many of us Mexicans attended the university.”

After Valdez’s speech the crowd left to attend work-shops held in two sessions.

Director of Development for the Hispanic Scholar-ship fund, Jessie Torres, lead a workshop sharing in-formation on the Hispanic Scholarship fund as well as the Generation 1st Degree.

Generation 1st Degree is an initiative launched in 2010 by the Hispanic Scholarship Fund that fo-cuses on helping Hispanic American students become the first in their household

to obtain degrees. In turn, the students would sup-port other members of their family to obtain a degree.

“Latinos ages 24-64 across the country in that age range, only 13 percent have a col-lege degree,” said Torres.

Mercy Pimentel and her Dove Hill Elementary 5th grader, Briana, also at-tended the workshop. “the Latino population is get-ting larger, we need to get the word out,” said Pimen-tel. “It helps us as parents, by giving us what we need to help them go to college.”

Pimentel said she hopes in the future more students will be invited since each school only receives a lim-ited number of invitations.

Nannette Regua, a Lib-eral Studies Instructor at National Hispanic Univer-sity taught the workshop, “Latinas Breaking Barri-ers in Higher Education.”

Regua spoke about her experiences being one of three Latino stu-dents in high school.

Regua attended SJSU for her undergrad and said she saw few Latino faces on campus. Her time at SJSU inspired her to

become a historian and publish “Mexicans in San Jose,” a book that high-lights how the Mexican-American community has contributed to San Jose.

Veronica Perez at-tended the workshop with her daughter Alyna, of Santa Teresa High school.

“Its very inspiring to see the number of people here, it helps us realize the importance of going to college,” said Perez. “ It’s good to see the sup-port of the administration.

At noon, lunch and awards were present-ed by Manny Barbara, Silicon Valley Educaion Foundation, followed by comments by freshman Enrique Guerra of Arch-bishop Mitty High School.

Enrique received nation-al fame when a speech he made about the odds against Latino youth attending col-lege was posted on Youtube.

San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed closed the conference.

Many students and their parents felt that they had been inspired, learned much about going on to a higher level of education, and felt good about that.

This Valentines Day, community groups gathered in coalition, in Coachella, Los Angeles, Richmond, Sacramento, San Jose, and Visalia, to highlight the progress in expanding cov-erage under the Affordable Care Act. In particular, to spread the word about the Low Income Health Pro-gram (LIPH), a little known new coverage program that promises to have a big impact on the uninsured in Santa Clara County.

LIHP is made possible by the Affordable Care Act’s Medi-Cal expansion and the state’s 1115 Waiver. It will allow half a million Cal-ifornians to take advantage of expanded coverage op-tions prior 2014, when fed-eral law expands coverage in the rest of the country.

“Everybody is entitled to some sort of health care regardless of income,

The Valley Cares Community groups host events across state to highlight expanding reach of low income health programs

the same way that every-body is entitled to basic education,” said Diana Marroquin, SEIU 521.

The program brings new federal matching dollars into local economies and health systems, and experts estimate these dollars will create thousands of jobs statewide. The UC Berke-ley Labor Center projects that LIHP will have a direct impact on the creation of health care jobs as well as indirect impact, growing jobs in other sectors as more money comes into counties.

“The county-based health plans get more peo-ple covered, and earlier than the rest of the nation. These plans bring in new federal matching funds, creating economic benefits, invest-ments in our safety net, and a healthier group of patients,” said Anthony Wright, ex-ecutive director, Health Access California, the statewide health care con-sumer advocacy coalition.

LIHP requires counties to care for enrollees us-ing a medical home model, and providing a wide spec-trum of care, similar to Medi-Cal, rather than just providing emergency and urgent care. This early ex-pansion of coverage is a county option, which most counties are taking advan-tage of in order to provide health care for the unin-sured in a more effective and less expensive manner.

“I feel really blessed to be part of it because without it I wouldn’t have health care and I’ve had some pretty severe health issues,” said Katherine Bock, Low In-come Self Help Center.

Bock believes the health-care program provides great preventive care. She admits that her primary doctor stays on top of things and in some way she feels like she’s part of the ‘Cadil-lac plan’ that was talked about during the health care reform discussion.

San Jose residents show affection towards low income health programs outside the Santa Clara County building on February 14, 2012.

Ten large urban counties started their LIHP enroll-ment in last July, and by the end of 2011, had already enrolled a quarter million uninsured Californians into coverage, according to recently-released numbers.

Community groups are

hoping to help get the word out that this program is available and to encour-age other counties to get involved, and people to know about this new option and to get enrolled. To ap-ply for the program, Santa Clara County residents can visit Valley Medical Center

and apply by filling out the financial assistance appli-cation that is available for citizens and permanent res-idents of at least five years. Residents are encouraged to apply before they get sick.

“I love Valley Care and I love LIHP,” said Bock.

Las madres y los padres en todo el país están más ocupa-dos que nunca. Entre los hora-rios de trabajo, las actividades extracurriculares de los niños y el tiempo que uno pasa con los familiares, hacer el tiempo para compartir una comida en familia es cada vez más difícil. Para las familias hispanas, la cena familiar sigue siendo una prioridad. Estos son algunos consejos para lograr que pre-parar una comida familiar sea sencillo y gratificante:

La organización es muy importante — Tómese un tiempo para organizar su cocina. Asegúrese de que los utensilios se encuentren cerca de la cubierta y de guardar las ollas y cacerolas cerca de la estufa. Al preparar la comida, es una buena idea tener a mano un recipiente o una bolsa para los residuos para así reducir la cantidad de viajes al basurero.

Haga participar a la familia — Permita que la comida familiar

Cómo Hacer Más Fácil la Comida Familiarcomience antes de sentarse a la mesa, haciendo que toda la fa-milia participe en el proceso de cocina. Sus hijos más pequeños pueden colocar los manteles individuales y las servilletas mientras que los más grandes pueden preparar platillos y acompañamientos sencillos tales como ensaladas.

Tome atajos cuando pueda — Experimente con mezclas de condimentos que le permitan ahorrar tiempo sin resignar el sabor. McCormick ha lanzado recientemente cinco nuevas mezclas de condimentos mexi-canos perfectamente combi-nadas para darle a sus comidas el sabor de los platillos caseros que normalmente requerirían largo tiempo de preparación. Estas recetas fáciles de prepa-rar también permiten agre-garles esos toques personales que hacen de sus comidas un platillo especial. Tinga de Pollo, Arroz a la Mexicana, Albóndi-gas al Chipotle, Tacos al Pastor y Mole Poblano llevarán a su mesa lo mejor de la auténtica

Triple H, The Rock, John Cena, these are some of the more popular stars of the wrestling world. Aside from competing in the ring, they also star in various movies, and their merchandise sells faster than a flying elbow drop.

However, there is a new group of wrestlers that will soon be making their way into the ring and will capti-vate wrestling fans with their high-flying style of action.

Lucha Libre USA has an-nounced it will be embark-ing on a nationwide tour in major Hispanic markets throughout the U.S. The tour is called Lucha Libre USA’s “Masked Warriors Live” and the wrestling organiza-tion will make a stop at the HP Pavilion in San Jose on

Luchadores fly into San Jose

March 30 and will feature some of Mexico’s greatest and brightest stars includ-ing, Blue Demon Jr, Super Nova, Pequeño Halloween. The event will also feature

former WWE Super Star Chavo Guerrero, Latin Lov-er and WWE Diva Melinda.

“Lucha Libre is not a show, it is a real sport and

we want to show that our brand of wrestling is dif-ferent,” said Blue Demon Jr at a press conference held at the HP Pavilion on February 9th. “We took

American wrestling back to Mexico and made it bet-ter. We want to reach out to the American wrestling fans and show them what real wrestling is all about.”

Lucha Libre USA is about the fans, it is about the show.

“Fan experience and au-dience participation are very important to us which is something we incorporate into all our shows,” said Lu-cha Libre USA’s CEO, Ste-ven Ship. “We have costume and sign contests, and also our ‘loudest fan’ contest.”

As with all wrestling, there has to be villains and one of Lucha Libre USA’s villains is RJ Brew-er from Arizona. Brewer is an anti-immigration wrestler who accuses Mexican Luchadores of stealing work from him.

He also insists that

the wrestlers show their true identities by tak-ing off their masks.

“Why do they have to hide their faces? Did they leave Mexico because they com-mitted a crime?” Brewer said at the February 9 press conference. “I also want to see their paper’s. If they can not show me their true iden-tities, then I will just have to assume the worse of them.”

When Brewer is not in the ring he can be found patrol-ling the border in Arizona.

Lucha Libre USA is a dif-ferent brand of wrestling that will leave audience members asking for more.

Tickets for Lucha Li-bre USA’s “Masked War-riors Live” event will go on sale February 17 at Ticketmaster.com or by phone at (800) 745-3000.

La reencarnación y el espiritismo no son temas aceptados por las religiones predominantes incluyendo

La Reencarnación de Dalai Lamaal cristianismo. No obstante existen culturas ancestrales que han basado su fe reli-giosa en la creencia que los espíritus pueden encarnar otro cuerpo después de la muerte. Además existen re-

ligiones no cristianas o pa-ganas, las cuales aceptan la reencarnación como un ciclo continuo de la vida eterna.

Quizá el ejemplo más tangible del tema de la reen-carnación en la actualidad lo encontramos en las creen-cias de la antigua religión budista tibetana, la corrien-te del Dalai Lama. En el Ti-bet antiguo existió una dei-dad viviente conocida con el nombre de Avalokitesvara

Bodishatva, quien al morir desistió de morar en

el terreno espiritual, pre-firiendo ayudar a otras al-mas para que alcanzaran la purificación y el nirvana.

El líder budista de los lamas, “el Dalai Lama”, es la reencarnación del es-píritu de Avalokitesvara. Esto se comprueba cuan-do se le encuentra siendo niño, pues debe reconocer todos los objetos de su an-tecesor y antecesores, y re-cordar todas las vivencias de sus reencarnaciones.

El décimo cuarto Dalai

Lama nació en 1935 en el campo tibetano y fueen-contrado en su infancia por unos peregrinos budistas. Al comprobar su autentici-dad como espíritu encarna-do, fue llevado a su palacio, el cual abandonó más tarde por motivos políticos, exi-liándose en la India desde 1959, cuando el gobierno co-munista de China, les inva-dió y destruyó gran parte de la historia cultura de aquella nación. Acabaron con reli-quias históricas, quemaron escritos sagrados y semi-

esclavizaron a la población.

Ojalá algún día el go-bierno comunista chino le devuelva la soberanía al pueblo del Tibet, ya que ha usurpado injustamente a un país soberano desde hace seis décadas. Los líde-res comunistas defienden “según” a los desposeídos y rechazan la explotación del ser humano, si embargo ante la tiranía y la represión que ellos mismos ejercen, solamente guardan silencio Queremos un Tibet Libre.

There are people all over the world who are strug-gling and in need of help. One could be right next door. While it’s not always possible to help out finan-

Easy Ways to Give Backcially, or donate a large amount of time to a cause, there are easy ways to per-form simple acts of kind-ness every day. Not only does the person performing the good deed feel great, but these small gestures add up to make a big difference.

Contribute to the com-munity with these simple deeds:

• Gather gently used books. Contact schools, libraries and other insti-tutions, such as hospitals and senior centers, to see if books are needed. Involve a book club or other com-munity organization to in-crease the donation.

• Call area schools and ask about volunteering. Many schools are look-ing for mentors and tu-tors. Depending on each school’s policy, sometimes volunteers need to attend a short training session be-fore starting. For parents, lending time to chaperone a field trip is both fun and rewarding.

• Consider donating blood through an Ameri-can Red Cross blood drive. The need for blood is con-stant as approximately ev-ery two seconds a patient in the United States needs a blood transfusion. Just one donation can save up to three lives. After each dona-

tion, Red Cross donors are treated to Keebler cookies, beverages and other snacks as a way to say “Thank you” for their act of kindness. To learn more about the “Be a Good Cookie. Get a Good Cookie.” campaign and for blood donation eligibility, visit www.redcrossblood.org.

• Head to the local park for a clean-up. Get friends to chip in to help the com-munity as well. Separate trash from recyclable items and dispose of each appro-priately. See efforts materi-alize in a clean green space.

• Organize a clothing drive with co-workers or friends. Schedule home pick-ups for a specific day, and donate gently used clothing to local charitable

organizations. You’ll be helping others, and you’ll have more room in your closets.

• Collect those canned fruits and vegetables, and take them to the local food bank. Check with them to see if they have a “wish list” of items that they need. Some of those things, shelf-stable or non-perishable, may already be sitting around your house. It’s also great way organize your pantry.

There are so many ways to give back. Simple acts of kindness are often the most valuable to those in need, and they are the easiest to perform. Whether saving a life, feeding a family or mentoring a student, every kind gesture brings a smile to more than one face.

One way to give back includes donating blood.

movement, where empow-ered youth create films, ex-pressing visions of a better tomorrow to engage and inspire leaders to ignite change, locally, and globally.

Throughout its two-decades-long existence, Cinequest has tapped into its Silicon Valley roots and played a stand-out role in showcasing and promoting innovations that have revo-lutionized media making and distribution—democra-tizing voice and connecting people and their visions to work toward a better tomor-row. With the contraction of our planet into the so-called Global Village, change can be startling, in the time

and the scope in which it occurs, leading to endless possibilities. Moreover, with mind-boggling ad-vances in technology, these story-telling tools have been scaled down and simplified and are easily accessible to virtually anyone on the planet, regardless of geog-raphy, age, or income level.

Instantaneous, world-wide communication has further enhanced this ca-pability and at no time in

our history has there been greater opportunity to im-prove the world through the transformative power of personal visions to con-nect not only audiences but also influential leaders who are capable and will-ing to make a difference.

PTP began with the germ of an idea that has blossomed into a phenome-nal worldwide venture. PTP empowers youth around the globe with innovative tools, mentors, and train-

ing, connecting youth and leaders to share ideas, gain better understanding, build friendships, and share hopes for the future. PTP affords youth a powerful voice for positive change. PTP educates, heals, trans-forms, enlightens, inspires, and creates opportunities for an improved future, for the participants, and for ev-eryone who experiences and responds to their stories.

Cinequest occurs Febru-ary 28 – March 11, 2012.

Pero cuando Shawn, un niño humano de 12 años que se muda a la casa, descubre a sus miste-riosos inquilinos una noche, florece una secreta amistad que si es descubierta, po-dría poner a Arrietty y su familia en extremo peligro.

No importa si es joven o viejo, el panorama rápida-mente cambiante de la tec-nología a veces puede pare-cer desconcertante.

Y para los estadouniden-ses no tan jóvenes, en parti-cular, dominar el uso de las computadoras y el Internet no puede llegar intuitiva-mente - pero la tecnología tiene un potencial ilimitado para enriquecer la vida de los abuelos y los nietos por igual. Y aprender como usarla pue-de ser más fácil de lo que us-ted piensa.

“Si mi madre puede apren-der a usar la computadora, cualquiera puede”, mantie-ne Abby Stokes, autora del libro “Is This Thing On?” Un manual para computadoras y dispositivos digitales. Stokes ha dado clases de compu-tación a miles de personas, principalmente personas mayores, y cree que superar el miedo a la tecnología es el primer paso.

Venciendo su miedo a la tecnologíaStokes ofrece algunos

consejos e información para motivar a cualquier persona a empezar (¡incluyendo a su mamá!):

Póngase al corriente

El correo electrónico es básicamente como el servi-cio postal, pero más rápido. Aproveche los servicios gra-tuitos a través de su provee-dor de servicio de Internet o una empresa como Yahoo! o Google. Una vez que empie-ce puede escribirle a sus ami-gos y familiares al instante. Para ver un seminario, visite http://abbyandme.com .

Mejor aún, hable en tiem-po real, cara a cara con sus se-res queridos en todo el mun-do. Por ejemplo, un servicio llamado Skype le permite hacer esto de forma gratuita.

Comparta fotos

Utilice su computadora para almacenar sus fotos y compartirlas en línea. Si us-ted tiene una cámara digital,

descargue el contenido de la tarjeta de memoria en su computadora. Si usted tiene una cámara de cinta, las fotos impresas se pueden escanear en su computadora y guar-darse.

El software fácil de usar le permite recortar fotografías, eliminar los ojos rojos de los retratos de familia y hacer otras mejoras a sus fotogra-fías.

Infórmese

Navegar por Internet no es más diferente que saltar de un canal al otro en su tele-visor. Hay mucha información disponible pero no todo es útil. De hecho, no se necesi-tan credenciales especiales para crear un sitio web de internet.

Un sitio de búsqueda como Google puede ayudar-le a encontrar exactamente lo que está buscando, ya sea una investigación de salud o chismes de la farándula. Pue-de tener acceso a cualquier

información que desee sin te-ner que visitar una biblioteca o un puesto de periódicos. Muchos periódicos publican todo su contenido en la web de forma gratuita.

¿Ve algo que le gusta? Us-ted puede fácilmente visitar de nuevo los sitios que le

gusten utilizando la función de “marcador” o “bookmark”.

Si le gusta a su televisor, va a terminar gustándole su computadora aún más. Mu-chos capítulos de programas de televisión se transmiten completos en línea. Y si es

Recientemente, El Ob-servador tuvo el placer de entrevistar a una cantante española que a finales de los 90’s se encontraba entre las cantantes con más po-pularidad entre los latinos. Estoy hablando de nada más y nada menos que de Mónica Naranjo, la can-tante y compositora que se dio a conocer con su primer sencillo “El amor coloca”.

Naranjo quien además es productora comenzó su gira de conciertos llamada “Madame Noir”, a finales de la primavera del 2011.

“Mi espectáculo basa-do en teatro musical es una obra”, dijo Naranjo. “Una obra donde interac-ciono mas que nada, con el público”. “Yo creo que estarán encantados por-que es un espectáculo que fue creado sobre todo para pasarla bien y para reír”, declaro la cantante.

La cantante, quien ha vendido más de 9 millo-nes de discos, principal-mente en Europa y Amé-rica, compartió que sus fans han recibido su obra

estupendamente bien.

La interprete de éxitos como “Solo se vive una vez’ y “Europa”, comento que la obra está basada en un personaje con muchísimo carisma una mujer mayor que ella. También aclaro que el público forma par-te de la obra. Comentó que es como una película de los cincuenta y que cual-quier cosa puede suceder.

A lo largo de su carera,

Naranjo vivió en México, Los Ángeles, Londres, Milano y ahora radica en Barcelona.

Segura de sí misma, ha lanzado ocho discos. Todo a su alrededor y la vida en general influyen en la com-posición de su música. Cada paso que da es un paso que ella siente internamente.

“Yo soy muy practica, para mi, mi trabajo es algo que tomo con grande res-ponsabilidad, con un gran

respeto”, dijo Naranjo.

Le encanto trabajar en “Tarántula”, que fue un disco donde pudo trabajar con una sinfónica. Entien-de que la mejor manera de poder seguir aprendiendo es siendo su propia compo-sitora y productor. Le pare-ce un trabajo maravilloso.

Naranjo siempre esta in-teresada en colaborar con otros artistas, entre ellas se encuentran las cantantes

españolas Mala Rodríguez y Bebe. La cantante pare-ce estar con los pies en la tierra y trabajando a duro.

“Ahora mismo me en-cuentro casi en la rec-ta final de una ope-ra”, confeso Naranjo.

La opera esta basada en la justicia humana. Es la pri-mera vez que trabaja con un escritor y es unas de las co-sas mas difíciles que ha he-cho en su vida. Pero siempre

con el interés de que la gente se emocione y se la pase bien.

La cantante viajará a los estados unidos durante fe-brero para presentarse en las ciudades de Los Ángeles, Nueva York, y San Francisco.

La diva irreverente del pop Latino, Gloria Trevi, presenta su más reciente sencillo GLORIA, primer sencillo de su próximo álbum, “Gloria En Vivo”.

GLORIA es una canción de la auto-ría de Umberto Tozzi que se consolidó en el año 1982 como hit multi-platino mundial en la voz de la cantante an-glosajona Laura Branigan. En esta versión, la Trevi de la mano de su pro-ductor, Armando Avila, logra rein-ventar el sonido emblemático de la canción original con un sonido contem-poráneo digno de esta época y nos lle-va a revivir aquellos años de GLORIA.

La Trevi presenta-ra el tema por primera vez en vivo en televisión este próximo 16 de Febrero des-de la ciudad de Miami en la vigésimo cuarta entrega de Premios Lo Nuestro. Conjuntamente, la superestrella actualmente se encuentra preparando un gira multinacional que la llevara por Estados Unidos, México, Centro y Sudamérica.

La actriz mexicana Vanessa Bauche rin-de homenaje a artistas como Marlene Die-trich, Brigitte Bardot y Anita Ekberg me-diante una serie de fotografías que forman parte de su trabajo en una revista para ca-balleros, de la cual es la portada de febrero.

Además de deleitar al público mas-culino con imágenes de su cuer-po desnudo, la actriz confiesa algunas anécdotas, y revela que un hombre atrac-tivo no es precisamente su debilidad.

Bauche confesó que después de realizar el filme en el que dio vida a la activista Digna Ochoa “engordé nueve kilos y tardé mucho tiempo en recuperar mi peso, pasé por mucha inestabilidad y estrés, pero fue hasta que me encontré con ‘Playboy’ que la cosa cambió”.
