EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com 3FEBRUARY 8 - FEBRUARY 14, 2013 OPINION

The ‘culture of poverty’ is a term coined by social an-thropologists who studied Latinos in New York City’s Spanish Harlem, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The edu-cation attainments of Latino kids may be impacted by a ‘culture of poverty’. Recently this subject became the topic of an Facebook. California’s Latinos must address it in order to acquire orientation and direction.

An impoverished family cannot provide its children with experiences in life that change outlooks, percep-tions, and futures. The local “Chinese Club” at Wash-ington Elementary School, SJUSD, spearheaded by Dennis Fong (Tropicana Shopping Center entrepre-neur), has used Skype and student exchanges to dra-matically change the views of that community concerning future possible opportuni-ties. This program and oth-ers, supported by the Rotary Club of San Jose’s Los Ami-gos Committee, has expand-ed the personal experiences of 4th and 5th grade classes by using field trips to San Jose State University, theater events, courts, CCOC (Cen-tral County Occupational Center) where some 20 voca-tions are taught. The career possibilities become real and the usefulness of having skills in reading, writing, and math also become real to those kids who have these exposures. An outcome is a higher level of focused motivation. The attitude of this school’s com-munity has made a transition and transformation. It took a concerned leaders to accom-plish that.

An individual’s personal attitude is paramount to the personal achievements pos-sible here in America, where one can strive for a better life with personal liberty, coupled with responsibility, in a quest for a state of happiness. Many factors are involved. The ones that are publicly discussed are those having to do with commercial firms needing skilled, trained individuals capable of being productive employees.

The reality being faced with great reticence is that many public schools are fail-ures today. Teachers, school administrators, and support personnel are not doing what it takes. Their efforts result in high drop out rates. Gradu-ate are often not prepared to participate in an internship, apprenticeship, or pursue of a professional degree. There are too many who become ‘NEENIS’ (Not educated employees; not in school)….a term crafted by Professor Ar-mando Sanchez, Counselor, National Hispanic Univer-sity, San Jose, CA.

Concerned parents try to compensate by transferring their kids to a local private school, parochial school, or charter school. There seems to be no way to get pub-lic schools to improve the education provided to our youth. But the quality of the graduates of public schools is a great index of the effective-ness of their education pro-cesses.

Yesterday Gloria, a local Latina grandmother, la-mented the attitude of her grandchildren who believe that life will be good if they just finish high school. “They need guidance”. No, their par-ents need help in providing guidance to their kids about their future. What Gloria has done is to call attention to the reality that parents are often unable to counsel their kids because they have no knowl-

edge about the intellectual needs of future jobs. They do tell their kids to work hard. Kids must learn to work hard and smart.

Francis Morales, Teacher, Gary Unified School District (Indiana) conveyed the out-come of the extensive use of computer technology to in-struct local ethnic students. The students became very good in relating to computer programs and games, but had not developed the com-munications and social skills needed for interpersonal re-lationships on the job, in the family, or amongst friends. It took even more resources to mitigate this unintended outcome. Morales said, “Be very careful not to use too much technology in teach-ing. The student must be able to live in a society, par-ticipate in local government, and earn his/her way in this theoretical meritocracy.”

Alearn, Inc. began six years ago to focus on low- income ethnic students (90% Latino) in order to teach algebra and convey information on col-lege application procedures and processes. Their train-ing classes happen as ‘sum-mer sessions’ using existing school district classrooms. A high success level has been experienced measured by students who are admitted into 4 year college/univer-sity programs. However, an analysis of their successful operations indicates that suc-cess is greater when parents are engaged, involved and committed. Alearn is about to undertake a ‘marketing effort’ to reach parents. One outcome is certain….if youth do not acquire training and skills useful to commerce, they will not escape their ‘culture of poverty’. A focus is on education of kids from an impoverished community. A question which needs to be addressed is “Is the Culture of Poverty induced by Poverty?”

IS THE CULTURE OF POVERTY INDUCED BY

CULTURE?

Quiero decir que el amor es algo hermoso, pero una cosa es decirlo y otra es realmente creerlo. Odio lo confuso que puede ser el amor, pero quiero decirles que estoy tratando y eso es lo menos que puedo hacer. Me estoy dando cuenta mientras escribo que tal vez no estoy en mi sano juicio al tratar de hablar sobre el amor ya que el día de San Valentín está por llegar, pero tal vez esto es lo que necesito.

Mi mamá es muy dulce, ella me envía una tarjeta de San Valentín diciéndome lo mucho que me ama y lo orgullosa que está de mí. Realmente aprecio detalles pequeños como esos

aunque yo no participo en la celebración del Día de San Valentín. Así que si tienes una hija o un hijo que ya no vive con ustedes, envíen una nota linda, o si ustedes tienen a alguien que realmente le importa, recuérdele que alguien por ahí se preocupa por ellos. Confíe en mí, le hará su día o tal vez la semana entera.

Aunque yo no soy una gran fan de esta fiesta que algunas personas toman demasiado en serio, como comprometerse, casarse, etc., etc. me gusta la idea de que se nos recuerde sobre el amor y lo que significa. Lo que es el amor por la familia y amigos, no necesariamente tiene que ser acerca de tu pareja, si es que tienes una. Yo por el momento estoy en la búsqueda pero eso es el algo que me puede tomar un periódico entero para explicar, simplemente lo dejare así, la búsqueda sigue.

Ahora bien, si estás en una relación y celebras, creo que deberías hablar con tu pareja y hacérselo saber así no te desilusionas cuando no

recibes nada porque no se lo comunicaste. Si una persona le gusta tener una cena especial o simplemente pasar el tiempo, te sugiero que además le compres algo que sea significativo o muéstrale como te sientes a tu manera. A mi no me gusta la entrega de chocolates y flores, es mejor hacer eso en cualquier otro día, pienso que será más significativo. Eso sí, no te vuelvas loco pensándolo, si crees que tu pareja desea una cosa así de cliché entonces hazlo. Pónganse de acuerdo en conseguir el uno al otro un pequeño regalo o no celebren el día de San Valentín.

No estoy de acuerdo con los que según no celebran esta festividad pero salen con amigos para “contra festejar” el día, es lo mismo celebran de cualquier manera. Mejor ten el valor de preguntarle a esa chava en la que siempre piensas y así tendrás algo de que hablar cuando salgas con tu amigos si es que ella te rechaza. No seas como yo, temerosa de que llegue el amor. ¡

¡Me gustas tu!

SAN FRANCISCO

Attorney General Ka-mala D. Harris today filed a lawsuit against one of the nation’s major credit rating companies for inflating its ratings of structured finance investments, which caused California’s public pension funds and other investors to lose billions of dollars.

The complaint, filed to-day in San Francisco Supe-rior Court, alleges that the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and Standard and Poor’s Financial Services LLC viola-ted the False Claims Act and other state laws by using a ra-tings process based on what senior executives described as “magic numbers” and “guesses.” “For years, S&P

placed its priority on main-taining its market share, instead of the investors who trusted in its supposedly ob-jective ratings,” said Attorney General Harris. “When the housing bubble burst, S&P’s house of cards collapsed and California paid the price—in billions. S&P must be held accountable for its conduct that contributed to one of our country’s worst financial crises.”

Investors relied on S&P and its competitors to rate these securities because they had access to only general descriptions of the assets backing their investments, which often included mort-gages. California’s public pension funds also relied on S&P because they are often required to buy securities

that received a coveted “AAA” rating, signaling that the in-vestment was top-tier and bore minimal risk.

The complaint alleges that, from 2004 to 2007, S&P sys-tematically misrepresented to the public, and to CalPERS and CalSTRS, that its ratings of structured finance securities were based on an independent, objective and reliable analysis, and not influenced by S&P’s economic interests.In doing so, S&P lowered its standards for rating securities to gain mar-ket share and increase profits, and violated the False Claims Act by making false statements about the nature and risk of in-vestments. The complaint also describes the company’s efforts to suppress the development of new and more accurate ratings models.

In mid-2007, the housing bubble burst. After securities that S&P had deemed the least risky began defaulting, S&P downgraded many re-sidential mortgage backed securities investments. The market collapsed, and of those securities issued in 2007, more than 90 percent were downgraded to junk status.

The California Public Em-ployees Retirement System (PERS) and the California State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) – two of the nation’s largest institutional investors – lost approxima-tely $1 billion.

Attorney General Harris today joined the U.S. De-partment of Justice and 12

other states and the District of Columbia in announcing lawsuits in Washington, D.C. The other lawsuits allege violations of the federal Fi-nancial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act and state unfair compe-tition laws.

However, California’s suit is unique because it is being filed not only under California’s un-fair competition laws but also under the state’s False Claims Act. This suit includes a claim for triple damages – becau-se when the state makes a purchase based on a false state-ment, the defendant is respon-sible for the amount lost times three.

The lawsuit arises from a 20-month investigation into

the issuance and rating of mortgage-backed securities by Attorney General Harris’s California Mortgage Fraud Strike Force, which she for-med in May 2011 to compre-hensively investigate miscon-duct in the mortgage indus-try. The Attorney General’s additional efforts to investi-gate the mortgage crisis in-clude securing an estimated $18 billion for California in the National Mortgage Sett-lement and sponsoring the California Homeowner Bill of Rights, a package of laws instituting permanent mort-gage-related reforms.

The complaint is attached to the online version of this press release at:

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris Sues Standard & Poor’s for Inflated Ratings that Caused Investors to Lose Billions

CALIFORNIA

Californians can now pur-chase their California State Parks Annual Pass on their state income tax return. It is a new option than makes the process quick and easy.

This new option was cre-ated through the California State Park Stewardship Act of 2012 (AB 1589), a new state law authored by former state Assemblyman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael. The pass costs $195 and allows passenger vehicles of up to nine passengers into 130 Cal-ifornia State Parks for a year after its issue date. The “Con-tributions” section of the 540 and 540a tax forms contain a new line to enter the price of the parks pass.

In addition, there is a tax deduction option in this new program. Any additional do-nation over the $195 for the pass is seen as a tax-deduct-ible contribution that will reduce the tax liability of the donor and provide needed support to the park system. The additional donation will be allocated to the State Parks Protection Fund, where it will be used to address de-ferred maintenance projects and otherwise enhance visi-tors’ park experiences.

The California State Park Stewardship Act of 2012 mandates that the Depart-ment develops a prioritized action plan for solving bud-get challenges, explore alter-native revenue streams, limit the number of state park

closures and establish the Annual Pass option on the tax forms. The funding gen-erated from the tax form and donation option will be used in combination with funding recently appropriated by the Governor and the Legisla-ture to help replace the Gen-eral Fund reductions to the State Parks’ budget over the past ten years and more. In addition, it is hoped this op-tion will contribute toward the deferred maintenance backlog of more than $1.3 billion dollars that goes back twenty years and more.

Juez ordena a Bloom Energy

Corp. pago de salarios

retroactivos, daños y multas

SAN FRANCISCO

Bloom Energy Corp., con sede en Sunnyvale, Ca-lifornia, ha sido ordenada a pagar $31,922 en salarios retroactivos y a una cantidad igual por daños a 14 traba-jadores que la empresa trajo de Chihuahua, México, para trabajar en su sede. Un juez distrital de EE.UU. ordenó los pagos tras una investiga-ción de la División de Horas y Salarios del Departamento de Trabajo de EE.UU que reveló que el empleador violó deliberadamente las dispo-siciones de salario mínimo, horas extra y mantenimiento de registros de la Ley de Nor-mas Razonables de Trabajo (FLSA, por sus siglas en in-glés) Bloom Energy trajo a los trabajadores de México para remozar generadores eléctricos junto con trabaja-dores estadounidenses. Los investigadores descubrieron que a los 14 trabajadores se les pagaba en pesos mexica-nos el equivalente a $2.66 por hora. El departamento también cifró en $6,160 el total de multas a pagar por la naturaleza deliberada de las infracciones cometidas.

“Esta investigación ha

puesto remedio a prácticas ilegales hacia a un grupo de trabajadores sujetos a salarios muy por debajo de la norma-tiva”, afirmó Ruben Rosalez, administrador regional de la División de Horas y Salarios en el Oeste. “Es muy lamen-table que esto estuviera su-cediendo justo en el corazón de Silicon Valley, una de las áreas de ingresos por persona más ricas de los Estados Uni-dos. El departamento sigue vigilante en la protección de los derechos de trabajadores vulnerables y para garantizar que perciban los salarios que

se ganaron a pulso”.La FLSA prohíbe a los em-

pleadores contratar trabaja-dores por debajo del salario mínimo federal y les prohíbe comercializar mercancías producidas en violación de las disposiciones de salario mínimo, horas extra o traba-jo infantil. Bajo la FLSA, la División de Horas y Salarios debe investigar y llevar accio-nes en tribunales federales para prohibir todos los actos

ilícitos debido al empleo en violación de estas disposicio-nes.

Bloom Energy fabrica

sistemas de generación de energía limpia y contrata con grandes compañías como Google Inc., Wal-Mart Sto-res Inc., Kaiser Permanente, Coca-Cola Co., FedEx Corp., eBay Inc. y Bank of Ameri-ca Corp. El departamento solicitó que el empleador no comercializara los productos fabricados en violación de la ley hasta que las infracciones se resolvieran. El empleador ha pagado en su totalidad los salarios retroactivos, da-ños por liquidación y multas y acordó cumplir con todos los requisitos de la FLSA en el futuro. El departamento también exigió que el em-pleador firmara un fallo de conformidad.

La FLSA requiere que a los

empleados cubiertos se les pague por lo menos el salario mínimo federal de $7.25 por hora, así como tiempo y me-dio de su salario por hora re-gular por cada hora trabajada por encima de las 40 horas semanales. La ley también exige a los empleadores que mantengan registros preci-

sos de salarios, horas y otras condiciones de empleo, y prohíbe a los patronos tomar represalias contra empleados que ejercen sus derechos de acuerdo con la ley. La FLSA establece que los empleado-res que violan la ley son, por regla general, responsables ante sus empleados por los salarios retroactivos y por un equivalente en daños por liquidación, que se pagan di-rectamente a los afectados.

(STATEPOINT)

Talking about money can be difficult. While we’re taught to avoid the poten-tially sensitive topic in polite conversation, there’s at least one person with whom you need to be able to have fre-quent and honest financial conversations -- your partner or spouse.

This Valentine’s Day, take the opportunity to strength-en your relationship by un-derstanding what drives your partner’s financial de-cisions. While experts say it may not always be possible to agree on everything, know-ing each other’s perspective can help couples avoid frus-trating conversations and make better decisions to-gether.

“We all bring our own feel-ings and experiences to the table and that can have a big impact on how we invest and spend money,” says Joe Du-ran, CEO of United Capital, a private wealth consulting firm and New York Times best-selling author of The Money Code, a new book that aims to improve finan-cial decision making. “But by honestly getting to the root of what money means to you

and to your partner, you can take steps to improve your financial life together.”

In time for Valentine’s Day, here are some ways couples can smooth over their differ-ences:

Prioritize

List your financial pri-orities and savings goals and determine which are neces-sary, negotiable and realistic. Draw up a budget and create a financial decision making checklist that satisfies both of you and resolve to stick to it. A clear action plan will help avoid surprise purchases or investments made by you or your partner that could become potential sources of argument.

Communicate

“I like to think of each of us as having a ‘Money Mind,’ which motivates the way we think about money,” says Du-ran. “Some of us are driven by fear, some by the pursuit of happiness and others by commitment. Whether you’re spending too much in the pursuit of happiness, or missing key opportunities out of fear, become actively aware of what guides you and

your partner financially and the potential consequences.”

You’ll be more likely to avoid letting conversations turn into arguments if you’re speaking the same language as your partner. Each of you should have an active voice in the discussion and be partici-pating fully in the financial planning process.

Seek Help

Personal biases can some-times get in the way of sound judgment. But a financial ad-viser can help you objectively map out a process to achieve your financial goals. Opt for one who doesn’t just focus on investments, but who can also match your financial as-pirations with your current resources.

More tips on how to dis-cuss money with your part-ner can be found by visiting www.HonestConversations.com.

Don’t let miscommuni-cation stand in the way of a healthy financial future. By taking steps to understand your partner’s perspective, you can develop a joint so-lution that makes everyone happy.

La llegada de un nieto nuevo es un momento de gran alegría y orgullo. ¿El bebé se parecerá a su hija o hijo? ¿Tendrá los hoyuelos de su pareja o su buen sentido del humor?

Antes de que se acurruque con su nuevo pequeñuelo, es importante que se ponga una vacuna Tdap, que protege contra la tos ferina (también llamada pertussis), el tétano y la difteria. Idealmente, se debe poner la vacuna al me-nos 2 semanas antes de visi-tar al bebé.

La tos ferina se contagia con facilidad y puede cau-sar una enfermedad grave y hasta la muerte. Es particu-larmente peligrosa para los infantes menores de 6 meses de edad quienes son dema-siado pequeños para estar bien protegidos por vacunas contra la tos ferina.

“Los bebés que contraen tos ferina a menudo se con-tagian de familiares, entre ellos, los abuelos, que po-drían ni saber que tienen tos ferina”, manifestó la Dra. Melinda Wharton, Directora Interina del Centro Nacional de Inmunización y Enfer-medades Respiratorias de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfer-medades (CDC). “Por eso es importante que los padres, abuelos y otros familiares se pongan una vacuna de Tdap para prevenir contagiarse -- y contagiar a los demás -- con la tos ferina.”

Aunque la mayoría de adultos fueron vacunados contra la tos ferina cuando eran niños o podrían haber tenido la enfermedad cuando niños, la protección desapa-rece con el tiempo. La vacuna Tdap es recomendada para los adultos -- incluso para las

mujeres embarazadas -- así como también para los ado-lescentes y preadolescentes. La vacuna es particularmen-te importante si va a estar en contacto con un bebé recién nacido.

La vacuna Tdap también proporciona protección im-portante para usted contra la tos ferina y sus graves sínto-mas, que pueden durar hasta 10 semanas o más.

Vacunar a los adultos que están en contacto con los infantes no es sustituto de la vacunación de los niños. Los bebes y los niños pequeños necesitan ponerse cinco dosis de la vacuna DTaP de acuer-do con el calendario de vacu-nación recomendado por la CDC para tener máxima pro-tección contra la tos ferina.

¿Cree usted que la tos feri-na es una enfermedad de su niñez y que no es un proble-ma ahora? En realidad es co-

mún en los Estados Unidos y usualmente, los casos llegan a su punto más alto cada cierto tiempo. En el año 2012, tuvi-mos más de 41,000 casos de tos ferina notificados y hasta ahora sabemos de 15 niños que se murieron de la enfer-medad. No hemos tenidos cifras tan altas de casos desde el año 1955.

Su nieto y usted compar-tirán muchos momentos es-peciales en el futuro. Hable con su doctor para ponerse una vacuna Tdap. De esa manera, usted y su nieto se pueden proteger contra esta enfermedad y podrán empe-zar a crear memorias felices y sanas juntos.

Para averiguar más sobre la tos ferina y las vacunas, visite http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/pertussis/fs-parents-sp.html, ó llame al 800-232-4636 o hable con su doctor.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Research shows an aspirin a day may do the same. How often have you heard about chewing an aspirin if you feel the symp-toms of a heart attack? If it’s that critical to get the medi-cation to your system, isn’t it as important to know you are taking a safe dose? Good news—there is a simple blood test that is available to aid your doctor in assessing response to aspirin.

For many Americans, a “baby” aspirin is pre-scribed—81 mg—for ongo-ing preventative care post−cardiac procedure or even as a precautionary way to help prevent stroke. In fact, the USPSTF (United States Pre-ventive Services Task Force) encourages aspirin intake for men aged 45−79 years to help prevent myocardial infarctions (also known as heart attacks) and women aged 55−79 years because of a potential benefit of stroke prevention. Always check with your physician before

embarking on an aspirin regimen.

Since it’s known there are potential side effects with as-pirin use, particularly stom ach upset due to potential bleeding risks, you will want to be sure you are getting the optimal effect with the low-est dose possible. The Veri-fyNow System is a product that tests for aspirin—pro-viding the physician infor-mation on platelet reactivity. Aspirin and drugs like clopi-dogrel (the generic form of the branded drug Plavix) are anti-platelet medications de-signed to prevent the blood cells from “sticking together.” The medications can help prevent a clot, which can lead to a more serious car-diovascular event. Studies show that up to one in three patients’ platelets do not re-spond appropriately. Only your physician can check to see how your platelets are reacting and make decisions about your care.

As with other medications, some people often wonder if their medications are hav

ing the desired effect. Stop wondering, and start asking about a chance to see how your platelets are respond-ing. The next time you visit your doctor, and you are asked for a blood sample to measure your level of choles-terol, or the technician mea-sures your blood pressure, you might want to ask about the VerifyNow Aspirin Test as well. Like those other routine measurements, this test is also available nationwide in hospitals and doctor’s offices.

Your health care provider wants to provide the best protection possible to you or a loved one and so anyone on anti-platelet therapy should be tested. To find a physi-cian who can offer the easy-to-administer VerifyNow Tests, including one for as-pirin and one called the Veri-fyNow PRUTest to see how the P2Y12 inhibitors (also known as brand name Plavix or the generic name, clopido-grel) are affecting the plate-lets, contact the company at

www.accumetrics.com/re-quest or call (800) 643-1640.

Future chefs representing various elementary schools in the San Jose Unified School district showcased their cooking talents in the 3rd An-nual Future Chefs: Healthy Salad Challenge on Tuesday, February 5, 2013.

The salad making compe-tition sponsored by Sodexo, a Quality of Life service pro-vider to San Jose Unified School District, took place at Gunderson High School.

The 10 finalists, whose salad recipes were chosen among the 139 entries, pre-pared their healthy choice meals for a panel of judges and parents.

According to Karis Gu-lizia, SJUSD Operations Manager Student Nutrition Department, the mission of the Healthy Salad Challenge competitions is to encourage children to make smart food choices.

“There is a real problem with childhood obesity and diabetes, and so letting the kids know that they have the power over what goes in their mouths, it gives them a sense of ownership, Kids are more likely to eat something if they had a stake in creating it,” said Gulizia.

Among the anxious par-ents coaching their future chefs from the sideline was Angel Rosas, “She did not sleep last night she was so nervous, I was so proud of her that she did it, she was so excited,” said Rosas about her daughter Vanessa Rosas.

Her salad entitled Yummy Steak Salad, which appeared to have a Tex-Mex twist, complete black beans, red peppers, sour cream was gar-nished with crunchy tortilla chips, “They get to have fun doing this,” she concluded.

The contestants were not only judged on the taste of their salads, but presenta-tion, originality, health ingre-dients, and last but not least, kid friendliness.

“It’s something that the average kid would eat, third through fifth grade, if my third grader is going to sit down and eat something, it’s probably not going to be spinach, so just interest-ing ingredient that the kids would enjoy,” added Gulizia.

Anoushka Shah, a third grader from Simonds El-ementary School took first place with her Bean Salad, she also took home two sea-son passes to Great America and a gift basket with all the essential cooking utensils she will need when she presents her Bean Salad at regional competition for the oppor-tunity to advance to the na-tional challenge.

“I love it, she’s been so ex-cited since she found out. It’s amazing, it’s a really good ex-perience for her,” said Sapna Shah, the first place winner’s mother, “She really likes to cook so she asked me, ‘mom-my can we submit?’,” said Shah adding that it encour-ages the kids to eat healthy and to become more aware of what is fresh.

3 simple steps to a fresh start this Valentine’s Day

(BPT)

Feeling like you’re in a re-lationship rut? You’re not alone. Whether you’re single or married, getting stuck in a routine may be normal, but that’s no excuse to keep on down the same path. Take control of your love life and break out of your relation-ship habits. Relationship expert and author of “Cheat On Your Husband With Your Husband,” Andrea Syrtash, shares three simple steps to help you identify your pat-terns, make small changes and ultimately decide if this is the right relationship for you.

* Identify the patterns.If you want new results in

love, you have to do things - and date - differently. Once you’ve identified your habits, it will be much easier to steer clear of any ruts. The first step is to look at your pattern. If you don’t know what your relationship pattern is, con-sider this: If your dating life

were a movie - what would it be called? How would it be-gin and end? What character do you always play? You’ll start to see some themes.

We all get into patterns in our relationships and often expect things to get better without changing our ways. It’s like using the same search engine day in and day out and expecting better results. We do things because we’ve always done them; but as Einstein said, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting differ-ent results.” Branch out and give Bing a try this Valentine’s Day to see if it’s your perfect match.

* Make small changes.With step one under your

belt, it’s time to take action. Advanced Valentine’s Day planning can go a long way in showing your love and af-fection. Not putting in the thought to pre-plan, forget-ting the card, buying drug-store gifts on the way home from work, and thinking that Valentine’s Day doesn’t matter (if it doesn’t matter to both of you that’s one thing ...

but if it matters to one of you, it should be acknowledged) puts a strain on your relation-ship, whether or not you real-ize it at the time.

Planning ahead seems like a daunting task, but it is easi-er than you think. Take it one step at a time, and lean on the various online resources available that make planning simple.

* Move forward.A surprising one in 10 peo-

ple admit to having broken up with someone on Valen-tine’s Day, according to a re-cent survey by Bing and Im-pulse. If making a few small adjustments isn’t changing your relationship patterns, give some thought to if you’re in a healthy relationship or if it’s time to break it off. Don’t just think about the person you’re with, think about the person you are when you’re with your significant other. That will tell you everything you need to know. If you’re usually cool and you’re crazy or insecure with someone, they’re not your match. You deserve to be happy, and if that means it’s time for a change, than embrace it.

Trying something new may lead you to a better alter-native you never knew exist-ed. Use this Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to start fresh. Whether you are working on making the small changes that matter, or deciding to part ways, don’t let your re-lationship continue along in the same rut. There’s no bet-ter time than the present.

I have not felt the waves of the Australian coast beat cold against my legsI have not seen the gauzy metropolis of Tokyo firsthand

Though I have felt warmth upon my soulAs only love can deride

Because of love I learned about lifeAt least in my day and age

When human presence tempted to override meUnparalleled from any feeling in my mindBecause of love I’ve felt childlike wonder

Gliding through this life Extreme highs and battering lows

there is dusk following days of clear lightIngrained into my experiences is your voice

Your thoughts at times blend into mineI have not seen Oahu’s majestyI have not felt Buddhists clarity

Though I have felt loss pull at every nerve Because of love I have learned, molded in my journeys

Standing here, looking there,That I love you without knowing howBecause of love I need no answers

I am stronger because of it all

Because Stop your relationship rut:

The Great America theme park has been a landmark in the South Bay for several years and has entertained families for generations with its various rides and attrac-tions.

This Spring, the theme park will be debuting its new ride, the Gold Striker, which will be Northern California’s tallest and fastest wooden coaster.

“We’ve been planning a signature addition to Cali-fornia’s Great America for quite some time and we felt this would be the perfect complement to our family of coasters,” says Roger Ross, Public Relations Manager at California’s Great America. “Gold Striker pays homage to California’s history and the role gold played, specifically in Northern California. The coaster’s logo features a gold

miner, complete with a pick axe and mining lantern.”

Great Coasters Interna-tional, which Ross considers to be a world-class company with an incredible reputation in the wooden coaster busi-ness, is constructing the Gold Striker.

Ross believes that wood coasters provide nostalgia harkening back to the early coaster rides, and are always a family favorite. They pos-sess a unique element that separates them from their steel counterparts.

“When completed, Gold Striker will be the tallest and fastest wooden coaster in Northern California. It will feature an iconic drop of more than 100 feet that bends around the Star Tow-er observation deck, with speeds nearing 54 miles per hour,” Ross says. “Mul-tiple banks of 85 degrees will make riders feel as though

they are perpendicular to the ground, and the 3,197 feet of track will last more than two heart-pounding minutes.

Though it is a new ride, the riders still must be at least 48 inches tall in order to ride it.

Guests entering Califor-nia’s Great America will find Gold Striker’s entrance to the right of the famous Carousel Columbia, the world’s tallest double Decker carousel. The new entrance to Star Tower will walk guests directly un-der Gold Striker.

Fans of the parks other wooden ride, The Grizzly, will not have to worry about the Gold Striker being its re-placement.

“A long-time favorite at California’s Great America, The Grizzly will remain part of the park’s collection of thrilling coaster rides,” Ross says.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to show someone how much you care. Whether you want to say “xoxo” to family or “be mine” to a new Valentine, red velvet is the flavor that says it best.

“Amid a sea of pink holiday confections, red velvet stands alone with its vibrant hue and rich taste. It has a unique flavor that is not quite vanilla and not quite chocolate,” said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens. “Red velvet is also surprisingly versatile, inspiring a range of creative presentations, from creamy hot chocolate to decadent breakfast pancakes to cream-filled cupcakes. Simply said, people love it.”

These Red Velvet Brownie Conversation Hearts are a perfect project for the whole family. You can easily vary the number of drops of red food color to make icing in every shade, from puppy-love pink to ravishing rose. Add the final sweet touch with edible words of love. For a simplified version, glaze the brownie hearts and decorate with red and pink sprinkles.

Sweeten Up Valentine’s Day the Red Velvet Way

Red Velvet Brownie Conversation HeartsMakes about 24 servings

Prep Time: 30 minutesCook Time: 25 minut

1 package (family-size) fudge brownie mix 1/2 cup sour cream 2 eggs 1 bottle (1 ounce) McCormick Red Food Color 8 cups confectioners’ sugar (2 pounds) 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 2 teaspoons McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract McCormick Assorted Food Colors & Egg Dye Decorating gel or 1 ounce white baking chocolate

Prepare brownie mix as directed on package with sour cream, eggs and red food color. Spoon batter in greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Bake and cool and directed on package. Cut out cooled brownie with heart-shaped cookie cutters. Place brownies on wire rack set over baking sheet. For the icing, mix confectioners’ sugar, water and corn syrup in medium saucepan. Cook on medium-low heat until sugar is melted, stirring occasionally. Stir in vanilla. Tint with desired food color. Spoon or pour icing over top and sides of brownies. (If icing becomes too stiff, gently reheat to pouring consistency.) Let stand until icing is set. Use decorating gel to write on brownies. Or melt white chocolate as directed on package. Pour into small resealable plastic bag. Snip off a tiny piece of the corner. Squeeze chocolate through hole in plastic bag to write on brownies.

Test Kitchen Tip: For easy clean-up, line pan with foil with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Use foil handles to remove brownie from pan. Place on cutting board and cut out with cookie cutters.

Easy Pink Frosting: Brownie may frosted with Easy Pink Frosting instead of prepared icing. Stir 6 drops desired McCormick Assorted Food Color & Egg Dye into 1 container (16 ounces) white frosting until well blended. Add additional drops of food color until desired shade is reached.

SAMTRANS BUSCA LA OPINIÓN PÚBLICA SOBRE CAMBIOS EN LAS POLÍTICAS

SamTrans llevara a cabo cuatro reuniones públicas como parte de su proceso para desarrollar las políticas de cambio general en el servicio, impacto desigual y carga desproporcionada que cumplan con el Título VI del Acta de Derechos Civiles de 1964. El Título VI tiene por ob-jeto garantizar que las decisiones tomadas por agencias financiadas con fondos federales no den lugar a la dis-criminación ya sea por diferencia de raza, etnicidad u origen nacional.

El District de Transito busca la opinión de los clientes y la comunidad a medida que desarrolla criterios para deter-minar lo que constituye un cambio en el servicio, siendo éste tan importante como para requerir un análisis pro-fundo de los efectos potenciales del cambio en las pobla-ciones protegidas.

También desea conocer opiniones para determinar cuán-do los efectos de un cambio de tarifa o servicios general es lo suficientemente diferente para ser considerados un “impacto desigual” sobre las minorías o una “carga de-sproporcionada” para las personas con bajos ingresos. El proyecto de estas políticas estará disponible en el sitio web de SamTrans a partir del 5 de febrero de 2013 o llamando a Servicio al Cliente de Sam Trans al 1-800-660-4287.

Juan Carlos MirandaSPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR

Valentine’s Day is a day to spend with your loved one(s), creating memories, cherish-ing those magical moments that take your breath away… Shoot; who am I kidding? Valentine’s Day is a day to overspend, overindulge and overthink.

Seriously, how many times have you gotten a headache because you couldn’t figure out what to wear to that very first date with—whom you hoped to be—your future husband? Something sexy that didn’t scream slutty or desperate but made you feel like you were a Victoria’s Se-cret model. That outfit that simply said “yes, I know I’m fierce, now eat it!” Yet the only thing you were able to come up with was that bor-ing same-old Forever 21 dress you’ve worn for the umpteenth time.

Hasn’t this happened to you more than once?

I know it has. It’s defi-nitely happened to me—and no, I don’t dress in women’s clothes; I was referring to choosing the right outfit. Since I know you’re going to

be breaking your pretty little heads trying to figure out what to wear for Valentine’s, I have decided to dedicate this week’s column to ex-ploring some of the factors you have to consider for this special occasion so you won’t overdo it.

What’s your goal? De-pending on what you want to get out of the night will pretty

much dictate the entire plan-ning process. If you are go-ing on your very first date perhaps you want to accom-plish a great night and a sec-ond date. If you are married, you might want to rekindle your romance. Or if you’ve dated the same person for a while, you might just want him to finally pop the ques-

tion. Whatever you want to accomplish on Valentine’s will depend on what you are wearing. Just like my dear friend always says, “dress for the time of your life!”

Choose your character. By character I mean what you want to portray. Do you want to look sizzling hot, or just

pretty sexy? Perhaps you’re going for the innocent look? How about sultry diva? Trust me, once you decide the character and mood you’re going for it’ll be easier to choose the outfit, plus adopt-ing certain traits associated with that character will boost your confidence level.

Choose the fabric. De-pending on your character you’ll be able to figure out what fabric is right for the personality. If you’re going for just pretty, choose a light fabric, preferably pink or white with short-heel shoes. If you choose sultry diva, a satin red or black dress with 5-inch heels will do the trick. Now, if you’re going for the Sasha Fierce look then choose lace and leather—did you watch the Super Bowl half time show? Can anyone say perfection?

Once you’ve defined your goal, chosen your character and figured out the fabric, it is time to pick the shoes.

Small heels say “I like you, I’m innocent and I don’t take risks”—or “I simply don’t know how to walk in high heels.”

Stilettos say “I’m confident and sexy and command your attention.”

Really, listen to what your

shoes are saying about you. Choosing the right shoes will make or break your outfit, so pay close attention and choose wisely.

If any of you are big fans of Beyoncé, like I am, you’ll know she is not successful be-cause of how talented she is. She is successful because she is a confident and a strong woman who goes for what she wants and is not afraid to take it. Beyoncé commands attention because she knows what she’s got and she aint afraid to flaunt it. After all she is Sasha Fierce. What’s your alter ego?

Valentine’s Day Fierceness

Roll Out the

Red Carpet

for Your Oscar Party

With the Academy Awards right around the cor-ner, people across the coun-try will be throwing bashes to celebrate the best in film. Here are some tips to host a great Oscar viewing party:

Place friendly wagers on each of the categories. Cre-ate a spreadsheet with each award and have your guests pick winners. Whoever gets the most right, wins!

Serve popcorn. An awards show about the movies should have all the feeling of the theater experience.

Give your party a little glitz and glamour. Encour-age guests to dress up and roll-out a red carpet -- they‚Äôll be the ones who feel like stars for the night.

Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich), de 17 años, ha tenido el mismo sueño durantemeses. Una joven misteriosa lo espera en un campo de batalla de la Guerra Civil. Ethan quie-

re estar con ella desesperadamente pero existe un peligro desconocido, y cada vez un estruen-doso relámpago cae y mata a Ethan antes de alcanzar a la chica.

Sin embargo, el peligro de este extraño mundo de ensueño es preferible a laexistencia de Ethan en Gatlin, Carolina del Sur, un pueblito sureño conservador que no se ha

adaptado a la vida del Siglo XXI, en donde nada cambia y no sucede nada. Atrapado en casa con un padre que se ha retraído completamente desde la muerte súbita de su madre, Ethan anhela una vida a la que solo puede acceder a través de los libros.

Beautiful Creatures

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Orlando, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads “Sandy Bigelow Patterson”… and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S.

With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.

Emily (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara) and Martin Taylor (Channing Tatum) are a young, beautiful, wealthy couple living the good life, with a mansion, a sailboat and every luxury money can buy—until Martin is sent to prison for insider trading. For four years, Emily waits for him in a tiny apartment in upper Manhattan, but his release is just as devastating as his incarceration and Emily sinks into a deep depression.

After a failed suicide attempt, psychiatrist Jonathan Banks (Academy Award nominee Jude Law) is called in to consult on Emily’s case. Desperate not to be hospitalized, Emily agrees to a regimen of therapy and antidepressants, a decision that will change the lives of everyone involved. When Emily’s symptoms don’t improve, Banks prescribes a new medication that quiets her demons. But the side effects of the drug have chilling consequences: marriages are ruined, Banks’ practice is decimated and someone is dead—but who is responsible? Devastated by this professional setback, Banks becomes obsessed with finding an answer. But the truth he uncovers threatens to destroy whatever is left of his career and his private life.

La Federación Internacional de Futbol Asociación (FIFA), anunció la creación de un nuevo “mecanismo de denuncias”, como parte las reformas del organismo en el cual se establece un código de conducta legal y ética.

“La FIFA ha inaugurado un nuevo mecanismo de denuncias gracias al cual se podrán comunicar y tratar con absoluta confidencialidad las infracciones del Código Ético y las violaciones del

marco regulatorio de la FIFA sobre el amaño de partidos”, publicó en su página oficial en internet.

Por otra parte y obedeciendo a los objetivos del máximo organismo que rige el futbol mundial en cuanto a la transparencia en todo lo referente al balompié, este medio servirá para poder vigilar en todo momento el funcionamiento correcto del mismo.

“El mecanismo de denuncia permitirá informar a la FIFA sobre posible infracciones, lo que supone otro hito en

los esfuerzos de la FIFA por fortalecer la gobernabilidad en el futbol”, agrega el comunicado.

Asimismo el organismo precisó que dicho mecanismo de denuncias está protegido por un sistema de seguridad que permitirá que estas lleguen sin contratiempos a la Comisión de Ética de la FIFA, presidida por Michael García.

“Las denuncias de infracciones del Código Ético de la FIFA se invitarán directamente a Michael García, presidente del órgano de instrucción de la Comisión de Ética de la FIFA”, concluye.

Estocolmo (NOTIMEX)

Luego del triunfo por 2-3, como visitante, de Argentina sobre Suecia y su destacada actuación en dicho encuentro, el atacante albiceleste Lionel Messi afirmó estar cada vez mejor con su selección.

Durante el encuentro, el delantero barcelonista se vio activo y con mucha influencia en cada una de las opciones de gol de su selección, al abastecer de balones a sus compañeros a la ofensiva.

“Cada vez soy más feliz en la selección. Estamos más unidos que nunca”, aseguró Messi en zona mixta del Estadio Friends Arena.

El “10” argentino también aportó al espectáculo, ya que tuvo una oportunidad de anotar, en la que tocó suavemente por encima del arquero sueco Andreas Isaksson y éste alcanzó a salvar su arco con una chilena.

En dicha jugada quedó la sensación de que el balón pasó la línea de gol, a pesar de la maniobra del portero. “Para mí entró, fue gol y así me lo dijeron. Pero no pasa nada, lo importante es que la selección ganó”, dijo el mundialista en 2006 y 2010.

“Ganar ayuda y mucho. Ojalá que podamos tener una temporada como la del año pasado y poder asegurarnos la clasificación al Mundial”, finalizó.

Asegura Messi estar feliz en la selección argentina
