Let’s Make Deferred Action a Sacrifice to Bear Witness to Real Change
Cesar JuarezSPECIAL TO
EL OBSERVADOR
The day laborer marching down Alum Rock towards San Jose City Hall yelled out to the multitude, “What do we want?” Screaming back with all their might, protes-tors answered, “Immigra-tion reform!”
A young undocumented woman marches with her father because the broken immigration system affects not only university students like herself and her younger undocumented sister, as well as her undocumented parents, but also her two U.S. born elementary-age, and a university freshman, brothers.
Both are marching to voice the need for an im-migration reform that hon-ors family unity. She knows that she needs to participate in the change she wants to win.
In the streets, never once, have I heard my community answer the above question with, “A work permit!”
I am what the media and other sources have labeled a DREAMer. I was brought to the United States at the age of seven. I completed second to twelfth grade in public schools, attended Evergreen Valley College, and transferred to San Jose State University where I re-ceived a B.A. in Social Sci-ence, Single-Subject Prep.
In two weeks I finished putting together my De-ferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) packet. Through the process my heavy heart felt contradic-tory emotions: feelings of joy, accomplishment, ex-citement, and freedom, alternated with vulnerable feelings of being a sell-out, failing, and accepting to be dehumanized. My mind exploded with memories of
my involvement with great fighters in the struggle that made DACA a reality.
For over seven years I have been an organizer of a great majority of the im-migration reform actions in San Jose, in different capacities: as a member of a student organization at San Jose State University that advocates for undocu-mented students, a member of the May 1st Coalition, a community organizer and organizing director of a lo-cal non-profit that empow-ers immigrants, and a labor union organizer. To para-phrase Martin Luther King Jr., as an organizer my duty was to fight for justice be-cause that is what love looks like in public.
Starting on August 15, undocumented community members throughout the nation between the ages of 15 and 30, that meet certain requirements, have been coming out of the shadows and filing their DACA and employment authoriza-tion applications. About 300,000 individuals have applied for this benefit.
With full honesty, this process has been very diffi-cult. On the level of political empowerment, this is not what I fought for. On a per-sonal level, I could not allow myself to apply before help-ing others (one of the orga-nizer syndromes). The val-ues that I learned from my mother, the Catholic faith I grew up with, and reading
about great leaders and so-cial justice movements are strong.
The values of justice, love, sacrifice, and serving the people--so that we are treated with dignity and equality--did not allow me to apply for Deferred Action for over three months. This “benefit” confers the “right” to be treated as second-class, to forego other basic human rights such as fam-ily unity, voting, access to a safety net, and the freedom to travel. Never once was I in the streets with the peo-ple demanding only a work-permit.
At an early age I un-derstood that sacrifice is needed to bear witness to change. From being open in public about my undocu-mented status and partici-pating in a hunger strike, to frequently protesting outside ICE offices and now applying to Deferred Ac-tion, sacrifice brings with it new life.
I apply for DACA feeling reenergized to be part of a historic and heroic struggle to win immigration reform. The necessity to organize has become more urgent. While I have felt this ur-gency for close to ten years, moments like this of great sacrifice bring a renewed sense of hope. With the hope that millions of people have inside comes the duty to organize. ¡Let’s continue organizing!
OCURRIELCIASHector Curriel
My mother, Guadalupe Dorado de Morales, was a very devout religious person who, without fail, prayed to ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’ as her patron saint. During a journey to Mexico, accompanied by my mother, sister Socorro, our children Linda, Antonio, and Maria and wife, Betty, we went to visit the basilica which is today called ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’. This basilica is impressive though built simply of red bricks. Many devout indigenous people were present during our visit. Their devotion and faith were evident.
During our visit, we toured the ruins of Teoticu-ahan. The ruins to be seen, even today, are the prod-uct of a civilized order and economy. We climbed the Pyramid of the Sun, where at the top, my children, each at different times, re-ported that they felt that they belonged there. They had experienced some sort of paranormal cosmic khar-ma.
Know, that today, we are still people of great devotion and faith, and we are all taught to use human logic, to follow the rule of law and order, which we perceive to be inequitably available to us. Regardless, many of us are the descendants of families whose genetic his-tory goes back to primor-dial times somewhere here in America.
Today, many of us are saddened. We are disdained by elected members of U.S. Congress, who consider Mexicans to be foreigners
who need to voluntarily re-turn to Mexico. That will not happen because we are indigenous….here to stay and belong.
As Latinos, we must have the drive, and the faith, to master the many principles of modern science, technol-ogy, engineering, and math. (STEM). Our forefathers had mastered them and had used them to build edifices and temples which may be viewed even today.
Know that it was a Mexi-can mathemetician who described the concept of ‘zero’ (nada) which enabled European mathemeticians to connect negaitive num-bers to positive numbers with the result that an im-portant step was accom-plished which enabled the creation of calculus. Many who saw the movie “Stand and Deliver” where an epic story of a Latin teacher in East Los Angeles was able to teach barrio students mathematics to a level of understanding that enabled them to perform, with ex-pertise, which national and local school officials would not accept as being possible. What that teacher instilled in his students was the faith of accomplishment which enabled total understand-ing.
His teaching methods were adapted slowly by mainstream education authorities. Today, we are being asked to ‘Stand and Deliver’ because the cur-rent society and economy is failing because of greed and corruption, much of which is ‘legal’ because the purpose and intent of the U.S.Constitution has been thwarted. This can be cor-rected, but it will take a persevering concerted ef-fort to correct the current misdistribution of the natu-ral wealth and abundance which exists on this planet Earth.
Let me tell you why many of us are people of ‘Faith’. We are furtunate to live in ‘Silicon Valley’ where many virtual natural phenom-enon are exploited to en-able eletronic devices, e.g., ‘smart phones’, computers, etc. Consider that we all are accustomed to the reliabil-ity of these electronic sys-tems and devices. I ask you now to consider the ‘elec-tron’ which physicists tell us is a ‘negative particle, hav-ing almost no mass’. None of us have ever seen an electron, yet we rely upon it with great faith. It performs what it does according to its nature without fail. Elec-tricity is defined as ‘a flow of electrons’.
It also enables comput-ers to work because when an electron is in a ‘field’, that field is negative; when not there, that field is posi-tive. It is on this natural phenomenon, which man did not create, and which exists throughout the uni-verse, that became the bi-nary numeric system which became the basis of any and all programs. MicroSoft, In-tel, Adobe, and many other firms are successful because they correctly use these nat-ural phenomenon. Without knowing it, their technical staffs are people of great faith and rely upon natural phenomenon.
Let’s get back to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Back in 1530, Juan Diego, an indig-enous person, was asked to be the Virgin’s messenger. In 1999, Pope John Paul II proclaimed the Virgin Mary Patroness of the Americas, Empress of Latin America, and Protectress of Unborn Children. I recommend you google ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’, find and read the history by Dr. Marcel-lino D’Ambrosio based on original documents wriiten in Nahuatl recording these miracles.∆
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

* Utilizar estrategias para manejar la ansiedad de prueba. Un poco de an-siedad ante los exámenes puede ser útil, pero en ex-ceso puede tener un efecto adverso en el rendimiento de la prueba. Con el fin de manejar la ansiedad de prueba, asegúrese de es-tar preparado, y el uso de técnicas de respiración y visualización para traba-jar a través del proceso.
* Siga las instrucciones de la prueba. Al tiempo que toma una prueba, asegúrese de prestar atención a las instrucciones de la prueba-y específico de preguntas. Círculen palabras clave para asegurarse de que todas las
respuestas repasen a todas las partes de la pregunta. En caso de duda, pregunte al profesor para aclarar.
* Utilice un proceso de or-ganizar la escuela y un área de estudio. Ser organizado ayuda a los estudiantes ac-ceder a todos los materiales, siempre que sea necesario. Un lugar limpio y tranquilo de estudio también ayuda a enfocar los estudiantes.
* Apoyo a las preferencias de aprendizaje. Identificar las preferencias de apren-
dizaje, ya sea auditiva, táctil o visual. Manténgalos en cuenta en el estudio para ayudar con temas difíciles.
* Utilizar estrategias ad-ecuadas para hacer frente a diferentes tipos de pre-guntas. Saber qué tipos de preguntas en el examen ayuda a determinar qué y cómo los estudiantes deben estudiar. Averigüe qué tipo de preguntas se utilizará, ya sea de opción múltiple, de respuesta corta, verdadero / falso, igualando o ensayos, y prepararse adecuadamente.

SACRAMENTO
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Tor-lakson announced the selec-tion of two remarkable Cali-fornia high school students as delegates, along with two alternates, to the highly com-petitive United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP).
Josephine Kao of Rosevi-
lle (Placer County), a student at Mira Loma High School in the San Juan Unified School District, and Deeksha Goyal of Redlands (San Bernar-dino County), a student at Redlands East Valley High School in the Redlands Uni-fied School District, were se-lected for their outstanding scholastic achievement, lea-dership qualities, and strong commitment to their schools and communities.
The first alternate is Anna
Page of San Diego (San Die-go County), a student at Mt. Carmel High School in the Poway Unified School Dis-trict, and second alternate is Stefano Rumi of Los Ange-les (Los Angeles County), a student at the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies in the Los Angeles Unified School District. .
“I’m amazed at what the-
se four outstanding young people have accomplished,” Torlakson said. “They are among California’s as well as the nation’s top scholars, and I applaud their achie-
vements, both inside and outside the classroom. They are leaders and champions and, most impressive of all, they are dedicated to helping others and strengthening their communities.”
Students must be nomi-nated by their high school principal to participate in the program. A selection com-mittee from the California Department of Education (CDE) reviewed eligible no-minees and Torlakson selec-ted the awardees based on the
the quality of the application, high academic achievement, interpersonal and commu-nication skills, knowledge of American government and U.S. history, involvement in school and community acti-vities, demonstrated qualities of leadership, extracurricular activities, and service to the community.
The four students are sche-duled to be recognized by the State Board of Education du-ring its January 16-17, 2013 meeting in Sacramento.

A pesar de los educado-res y administradores que continúan debatiendo el valor real de las pruebas y exámenes, esas pruebas se han convertido en una parte intrínseca del siste-ma educativo de este pais. Ni los estudiantes ni los padres pueden escapar a la realidad de los exámenes, y continuando el éxito aca-démico depende en gran medida la gestión de an-
siedad ante los exámenes y aprender a prepararse ad-ecuadamente para los ellos. Tampoco es el único factor. Hacer las tareas escolares y la participación en la clase, comoe haciendo ensayos de aptitud ayuda también.
“Asegúrese de que su hijo termine sus tareas y proyec-tos de clase”, dice Richard Baviera, Ph.D., vicepresi-dente de educación de alcance en Sylvan Learn-ing. “Dado que las pruebas
reflejan el rendimiento en general, el mayor esfuerzo de su hijo pone en el apren-dizaje, es más probable que él o ella va a hacer bien en los exámenes.”
Éstos son algunos otros consejos para preparación de la prueba para los pa-
dres y estudiantes de la Dr. Baviera:

Jason AldermanPRACTICAL MONEY
Si usted es como muchos estadounidenses el 71 por ciento según una encuesta de AARP que cree que el administrador de su plan 401 (k) no le cobra nada por mantener su cuenta, se equivoca.
Lo cierto es que estas compañías suelen cobrar cargos de entre el 0,5 y el 2 por ciento del saldo de su cuenta por año, y a veces llegan a cobrar hasta un 5 por ciento.
Tal vez, lo que es igual-mente preocupante es que muchos empleadores –que tienen la responsabilidad fiduciaria de garantizar que los planes de retiro que patrocinan tengan cargos y gastos razonables muchas veces tampoco sa-ben qué cargos se le están cobrando a sus empleados.
Con el tiempo, los cargos no controlados pueden ha-cer estragos. El Departa-mento de Trabajo calcula que pagando solo el 1 por ciento al año en gastos ex-ternos, el saldo de su cuen-ta podría disminuir en un 28 por ciento a lo largo de una carrera laboral prome-dio.
Encontrar y ni hablar de entender cuáles son estos cargos puede llevar mucho tiempo y, por lo general, implica tener que hurgar entre los comple-jos documentos del plan. Es por eso que, el año pa-sado, el Departamento de Trabajo emitió una regla-mentación que exige a los administradores de fondos presentar un detalle más transparente de sus cargos a los empleadores quienes, a su vez, deben transmitir la información a sus em-pleados.
Durante la primera fase de declaración, las compa-ñías de inversión debieron
enviar un resumen deta-llado de las opciones de inversión de su plan, inclu-yendo el rendimiento y los cargos. Usted debe haber recibido esta información de su empleador para el 31 de agosto de 2012. Este resumen, que de ahora en más se enviará todos los años, debe incluir:
Una explicación de los cargos y gastos de la ad-ministración general del plan, como los servicios le-gales, contables y de man-tenimiento de registros.
El total de gastos opera-tivos anuales expresados como un porcentaje de los activos de la cuenta y un monto en dólares por cada $1.000 invertidos.
Una explicación de los cargos y gastos incurridos en base a sus acciones (ej. cargos por comercializa-ción, préstamos, bajo sal-do, extracciones por com-plicaciones económicas, procesamiento de senten-cias de divorcio u órdenes de relaciones domésticas calificadas, etc.)
El rendimiento históri-co de cada fondo en el que usted invierte (a 1,5 y 10 años, y desde la creación del fondo).
La segunda fase de la declaración de los fondos consiste en la emisión de resúmenes de rendimien-
to trimestral correspon-dientes a sus cuentas de inversión. El primero de estos resúmenes fue para el período 1 de julio 30 de septiembre de 2012, y la mayoría de las personas ya deberían haber recibi-do el suyo a mediados de noviembre. Este resumen debe incluir los montos en dólares correspondientes a los gastos o cargos relacio-nados con el plan que se le han cobrado o descontado de sus cuentas en dicho trimestre, junto con la des-cripción detallada de los servicios asociados.
Para muchos, estos resú-menes son un llamado de atención para que revisen sus opciones de inversión y elijan con más cuidado. Pero no le ahorran todo el trabajo: usted tendrá que seguir haciendo números para comparar sus opcio-nes de inversión actuales con las de otros fondos. Y ningún papelito puede de-terminar su deseo de asu-mir riesgos versus benefi-cios. Pero algo es algo.
El Departamento de Trabajo espera que, clari-ficando los costos de los planes 401(k), los emplea-dores puedan tener mayor control sobre los costos y ofrecer mejores opciones de inversión a sus emplea-dos y que los empleados tiendan a buscar los fon-dos más efectivos en cuan-to a costos para sus aho-rros jubilatorios.

The festive spirit of the holidays comes in all forms. From parties and traditional holiday outings, to elaborate family gatherings, there is a lot to celebrate. But, in truth, it takes a lot of work to make an unforgettable holiday. One of the biggest tasks on everyone’s to-do list is shop-ping for gifts, which can be both time consuming and expensive.
Luckily for shoppers, a bit of strategy and planning can add ease to the daunting task of shopping. When you’ve got everyone’s wish lists tallied, try these tips for making your holiday shopping merrier:
* Find the best prices: Ho-liday budgets need to stretch to ensure everyone gets the gifts they love. That means shopping for the best values on multiple items is most important. In some cases, retailers bundle gift items to help shoppers get more for their money. Office Depot, for instance, will offer acces-sory bundles for touchscreen devices like iPhones and An-droid phones, as well as for Windows 8 and Android ta-blets predicted to be some of the hottest gifts this holiday season. Bundles truly make it simple to save without sacrifi-cing on the quality of the gifts you give.
* Prioritize one-stop shop-ping: Dashing from store to
store can cost a lot in terms of time and hassle and gas, es-pecially with the heavy traffic and crowded parking lots du-ring the holidays. With a bit of planning and research, you can cut the waste by getting your shopping done in fewer locations or, ideally, just one place. Whether you’re shop-ping for a business-driven workaholic, a plugged-in teen or family-focused grandpa-rents, retailers are making the effort to help you cover all your bases in just one stop. Asking a store employee for assistance can also help save time, as they can point you to the right places and provide recommendations on pro-ducts that might meet your needs better than others.
* Don’t forget that ship-ping is a factor: The prospect of a trip to the post office du-ring the holidays is daunting. If you can’t get there during the middle of the workday,
you’ll be faced with long lines during peak traffic timesand that can eat up a lot of your valuable time. Instead of fa-cing the wait, look for options that are kinder to your al-ready hectic schedule. Shop-pers at retailers like Office Depot can send gifts and pac-kages without even leaving the store, as well as during weekends and late evenings once the Post Office is closed, at a full service shipping desk, with both U.S. Postal Service and UPS options. Online shoppers should also look for low-cost or free shipping, which will help cut back on both costs and time.
There is a lot that goes into smart shopping, but if you can incorporate these tips du-ring the year-end craze, you’ll be on your way to a happier holiday. Follow these tips and you’ll be happy with the time and money you save while holiday shopping this season.
Holiday shopping strategies: save time, save money

Los supervisores del Con-dado de Santa Clara hon-raron a diez clientes de Ca-lWORKs por su tenacidad para superar importantes barreras personales y socia-les. Esto marco la 22a Ce-remonia Anual de Premios, donde los participantes destacados son reconocidos por sus logros académicos y trabajo hacia la auto-sufi-ciencia.
“Felicitamos a los galar-donados por su capacidad de recuperación”, dijo el su-pervisor George Shirakawa, Presidente del Condado de
Santa Clara Junta de Super-visores. “Son personas ex-traordinarias que no se rin-dieron ante la adversidad, y aplaudimos sus logros”.
El programa CalWORKs ayuda a los participantes a desarrollar las habilidades de trabajo, les proporciona las herramientas necesarias para crear un plan persona-lizado para el éxito que los prepara para las oportuni-dades de empleo que con-duzcan a la autosuficiencia.
“Antes de comenzar Ca-lWORKs yo estaba en la calle tomando drogas y me enteré que estaba emba-razada. No hubo otros re-
cursos y me contaron sobre CalWORKs,” dijo Kelly Lu-cero. “Sin su ayuda y apoyo no creo que hubiera sido ca-paz de mantenerme sobria y hacer las cosas yo misma”.
Lucero lleva 43 meses de mantenerse sobria. Con la ayude de CalWORKs se arreglo su dentadura, tomo clases para padres, recibió su certificado de secunda-ria, y a realizado su sueño de ir al colegio.
El apoyo comunitario es crucial. En la ceremonia, los Supervisores reconocieron un empleador y un socio de la comunidad por su com-promiso con la contratación
y el apoyo a los participan-tes de CalWORKs.
Este año, Ace Parking Management Inc. recibió el premio de empleador del año por su destacado apoyo con el Programa de CalWORKs. Más recien-temente, Ace Parking Ma-nagement Inc. contrató a 15 participantes de Ca-lWORKs
Campbell y Educación de Adultos de la Comuni-dad (CACE) recibió el Socio Comunitario del Año por su larga asociación con el Con-dado y su desempeño ejem-plar, la prestación de servi-cios innovadores y dedica-
ción a las familias de Ca-lWORKs. CACE ofrece una serie de programas educati-vos que incluyen Educación Básica para Adultos, Inglés como Segundo Idioma (ESL), la continuación de la secundaria y de formación profesional certificada.
“Yo no estaría aquí sin CalWORKs”, dijo Elizabeth Guerra. “Ha habido un par de veces donde se sabe que CalWORKs puede de hecho ser quitado por diferentes medidas y cosas por el es-tilo. No sé cómo me habría ido o donde estaría sin su ayuda.”
Guerra como Lucero es mama soltera. Estaba tra-
bajando tiempo parcial y no tenia suficiente dinero para ir al colegio. Ahora se encuentra en el programa para enfermería vocacional.
Hay aproximadamente 13,432 familias que reciben asistencia pública y 6,370 clientes de CalWORKs que participan en las activida-des de los Servicios de Em-pleo. En promedio, 45 per-sonas obtuvieron empleo a tiempo completo cada mes, con un salario promedio de $10 por hora. La conexión de empleo alcanzó su punto máximo durante el mes de octubre, cuando 84 partici-pantes obtuvieron trabajo.
Condado de Santa Clara premia a los participantes de CalWORKs

As a Naval Base, Pearl Harbor sits quietly in a beautiful port in the Hawai-ian island of Oahu and un-til the events that occurred on December 7th, 1941 the lagoon harbor managed to avoid any type of hostile situation. At first established to assist American citizens in the whaling industry and provide some type of general security for Hawaii in the late 1800’s Pear Harbor was a quiet base whose activity was generally to dock U.S. ships and perform mainte-nance.
According to the official Pearl Harbor site, Japan had sought out to take over Asia. By the late 1930’s it was be-coming a real possibility. After the United States, the Netherlands and Great Brit-ain worried about Japans pursuits there was a freez-ing of Japanese assets. Not wanting to halt their ambi-tions, General Hideki Tojo decided to go through with its takeover. After the U.S. began producing for the war effort, Tojo saw our country as a threat. This is how the initial plans for an attack to the Hawaiian base were started. Being his countries Prime Minister General Tojo was able to outline and
execute his imperialistic plans with ease.
Calculated and precise, the 2-hour attack left a total of 3,500 Americans dead or wounded. It took place in the early morning of December 7th, 1941 and started with a first wave that decimated the U.S.S. Arizona and left her crew of 1,177 dead. The heartbreak of these senseless deaths was engulfed along with emotions of anger and confusion. The U.S. was not in any war and out of all places Pearl Harbor was not prepared or able to defend itself from this attack.
Four days after the De-
cember 7th attack the United States formally declared war on Japan and Germany, thus thrusting one of the greatest superpowers into a war that would see a dra-matic shift because of their involvement, as well as that from Russia in the East. This propulsion into the war made the U.S. the most eco-nomically powerful country in the world from that mo-ment forward.
In the end General Hideki Tojo was tried by an Inter-national Military Tribunal for the Far East, and was hung on December 23rd, 1948 for his war crimes. His acts caused the deaths of all
those at Pearl Harbor and his own people. The result-ing bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which totaled 246,000 casualties, could have been avoided had he complied with the several countries who were against his takeover of China.
These days we can look back at the memorials, the mostly unrealistic Holly-wood films, or the inter-views and news clippings of the event. All these stories commemorate a time where peace was shaken and the alliances of the people of the U.S. were tested. Neighbors turned on each other for being Japanese and inter-
ments occurred. Even here in the bay area there were camps that hosted these Japanese families.
In 1944 the U.S.S. Mis-souri was christened and left the San Francisco Bay Area to fight in the East during World War II. It was the last battleship to be built by the United States. It was also the ship where Japan for-mally surrendered on. These days it sits unperturbed in Hawaii, welcoming visitors and wonderers who can stand in historical sites and remember the people who sacrificed and fought for our country. At last there is peacefulness.

On Saturday December 1, Applied Materials held its 17th annual “Helping Hands Day”, an event where em-ployees and their families joined together to give back to the community by assem-bling and packing 6,000 boxes filled with 118,680 pounds of food, which the company distributed to low income families and indi-viduals across Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
“Applied traditionally runs one of the largest cor-porate food drives and em-ployees across the company join together to donate their time, food and funds,” said Amaya Weigert, Media Re-lations, Corporate Commu-nications, at Applied Mate-rials. “Approximately 300 employees and their fami-lies gathered in 12 assembly lines to help assemble and pack 6,000 boxes of tradi-tional holiday meals. In the
17 years Applied has done this event, employees have packed a total of 60,000 boxes.”
The Applied Materi-als Foundation funded the purchase of food, which was selected by Applied’s long-time community partner Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties. The event took place at Second Har-vest’s new Cypress Center, which serves as their volun-teer and fresh produce hub.
“Second Harvest distrib-utes the food to individuals and families in need across Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties through a network of more than 300 nonprofit agencies,” Weigert said.
“The 6,000 boxes packed at the event will result in approximately 118,680 pounds of food which, in addition to fresh milk, chicken, tortillas and pro-duce which will also be
distributed, equates to ap-proximately 188,231 meals.”
Last year’s drive efforts were valued at $1 million and enabled benefiting food banks to deliver 2 million meals in local communi-ties. Helping Hands is just one of the many activities employees participate in to support the food drive. Others include spaghetti feeds, pie throws, bake sales and candy grahams to raise funds, and group volunteer shifts sorting food at the food bank.
“Applied has been an ac-tive member of the com-munity for more than 30 years,” Weigert said. “Each year, Applied Materials and its Foundation donate ap-proximately $5M to local organizations focused on education, the arts, the en-vironment, and civic devel-opment.”

Use these tips to make this holiday season the best it can be, a season of less stress and more meaning for you and your family.
1. Take care of yourself by eating right. People tend to skip meals, eat on the run, and eat more sugar during the holidays. Manage stress by managing your health.
2. Give yourself permission to feel a mix of emotions during the holidays. Most people feel an ebb and flow of emotions throughout the year, but often more so dur-ing holidays because it is a season that evokes memories of the past.
3. It is okay to spend time taking care of yourself. When you do, you’ll be more apt to relax and enjoy the season. People have different levels of needs so pay atten-tion to your own unique cir-cumstances.
4. Give yourself permission to have more control in your life. You don’t have to say yes to every holiday invitation or request.
5. Time management is very important for reducing stress. For example, let some of your children or grand-children prepare holiday meals, bake cookies or help decorate the house.
6. Share responsibilities. Ask for help. Delegate holi-day tasks so you’re not over-stressed with deadlines.
7. Don’t have unrealistic ex-pectations about what you can and can’t do during the holidays. Give yourself cred-it for what you can do and recognize you’re not super human. When you do, you’ll have a more enjoyable holi-day season.

La veneración a la Virgen de Guadalupe, se ha con-vertido con el paso de los siglos, en todo un dogma inalterable de la fe católica. Sin embargo, existen perso-nas que han puesto en duda que dichas apariciones sean reales. El abad Guillermo Schulenburg, puso en duda las apariciones de la Virgen Morena y hasta intentó des-acreditar la existencia del indio Juan Diego, enviando una carta al Vaticano para que se le pusiera un alto a su canonización. En aquel momento miles de sacerdo-tes, obispos y cardenales, se opusieron al abad, adjudi-cándole el nombre de “cató-lico de pobre fe”.
La controversia surgió debido a unas pruebas que se le hicieron a la mantilla original, la cual según la historia, Juan Diego pre-sentó como evidencia de las apariciones ante el poder eclesiástico. Uno de los in-vestigadores puso en tela de juicio la autenticidad de la mantilla.
Las apariciones de “la Virgen María” siempre han sido puestas en duda, lo mismo sucedió en Fátima, Portugal y con la Virgen de Lourdes en Francia. Como creyente en la Virgen de Guadalupe, considero las
apariciones como sucesos reales. La Virgen se ha apa-recido en diversas partes del mundo, se le ha revelado a seres humanos selectos y de corazón puro, para que por medio de ellos, el mensa-je de luz que ella dicta, sea propagado entre los pue-blos. Los diversos nombres de la Virgen María alrede-dor del mundo se deben al nombre que se les da a las diferentes advocaciones.
La aparición de la Virgen en México a principios del siglo XVI, tuvo una apa-riencia mestiza, porque la madre del Redentor quería que la nueva raza que se es-taba forjando en el nuevo mundo, le recibiera como mensajera del cielo, de ese modo las nuevas generacio-nes se iniciaran en el culto Mariano y al mismo tiempo los indígenas, dejaran de adorar a los dioses paganos.
La Virgen de Guadalupe se apareció por primera vez al indio Juan Diego, en el Cerrito del Tepeyac, el 9 de diciembre de 1531, pidiendo que en ese lugar se levantara un templo en su honor. El obispo de ese entonces, Fray Juan de Zumárraga, recibió la noticia con mucha reser-va. Posteriormente el 12 de diciembre la Virgen volvió a aparecerse y le pidió al indio que recogiera las rosas que brotarían en el cerro. Juan Diego las recogió, las colocó
en su ayate y fue y las mos-tró al Frayle como prueba de la aparición. Cuando el indio desdobló su ayate, la imagen de la Virgen de la Concepción estaba plasma-da en la túnica. Y fue así como el Frayle y los demás prelados de la iglesia fueron testigos de aquel milagro.
La Virgen de Guadalupe fue coronada canónicamen-te el 12 de octubre de 1895 por el Papa León XIII. Son también notables los san-tuarios a la Virgen de Gua-dalupe en Cáceres, España y en San Salvador, El Sal-vador, lugar en donde tam-bién se apareció la Virgen Morena en 1953, por lo que se le edificó una hermosa basílica.
San Juan Diego fue fi-nalmente canonizado en el año 2002 por el Papa Juan Pablo II, convirtiéndose así, en el primer Santo de origen indígena.
El nombre de la advo-cación Guadalupe, provie-ne de la palabra nahuatl “Coatlaxope”,que significa <<la que aplastó la serpien-te>>. Con el paso del tiem-po la palabra se castellanizó a Guadalupe.
La Virgen Morena, La Sagrada Virgen de Guada-lupe, es la Reina de México y Emperatriz de América y las Islas Filipinas.

La controversia sobre las apariciones de la Virgen de Guadalupe continuan hasta hoy.

Office parties, friend’s parties, family gatherings, it seems that everyone and their grandma are having some type of celebration for Christmas. Oh what a joyous time to spend with family, friends and coworkers bick-ering at the most petty stuff. Come on, I know most of you do it, don’t lie to yourselves.
It’s this season that I find it to be the most fascinating of them all, when everyone dresses in their most glamor-ous duds (or so they think) for the many holiday parties they get invited to. Now, if you don’t want to be the one person people are going to be talking about for all the wrong reasons, then follow my simple advice and do your homework before stepping out the door looking like a Christmas tree.
When it comes to holiday parties the same philosophy applies as to everyday wear, “DRESS TO IMPRESS.” If you don’t feel good wearing what you’re wearing, you will not look good wearing it ei-ther. Simple as that.
Choosing the right en-semble depends on what type of party you’re attending. If it’s an office party you have to make sure you look your best without going the slutty route. Don’t give your bitchy coworkers one more reason to hate on you.
Whether you’re on the skinny or more voluptuous side, opt for a dress that says “I’m classy and sexy, eat your heart out bitches!” As far as color goes, nothing says ‘sexy hot’ more than red. If you have small breasts go for a plunging neckline, skinny girls can get away with this type of dress. If you have large puppies then don’t show them as much. Opt for a peplum dress to take at-tention away from your chest. Remember that you don’t want the wrong type of atten-
tion.Family gatherings are
more lax. You can pretty much wear whatever you feel like because, no matter what you put on, your siblings are going to grill you no matter what. So just put on whatever makes you feel good and com-fortable and take a chill pill. Family gatherings are meant to be enjoyed with your loved ones no matter how annoying you might find them to be. One thing you will definitely need is the best accessory of them all, your smile.
Friend’s Christmas gath-erings are a whole different beast, or should I say Grinch? Stick to your style and dress to feel comfortable and to impress. Your friends are just as judgmental as your enemies; the only difference is that your friends will tell you what they really think straight to your face. So avoid crazy outfits and Santa hats, leave those for the kids, grab a fancy scarf and nice coat and arrive in style. Command attention as soon as you step into the party and wear your nicest casual clothes, yes ca-sual.
Friend’s parties are usu-ally at a house therefore giv-
ing you the liberty of dress-ing more relaxed. Also, if you overdress you’ll stand out from the rest like a sore thumb and people will think of you as a stuck up a-hole. So put on a nice pair of jeans and some killer pumps with a sparkly top and party the night away in the company of your good friends.
If all fails and you still have no idea of what to wear, it doesn’t hurt to hire someone that will give you great ad-vice and will help you find the great outfit—preferably someone who doesn’t know you. Hiring a stylist doesn’t mean you have to spend a ton of money. There are many stylists out there that will give you a great rate and will help you figure out what looks good on you without making a hole in your wallet. The best part when hiring a stylist is that they know what they’re doing and they’ll work with you to find the perfect style for you. Here is my Christmas present to you. Visit AlterE-goAura today for great advice and to schedule an appoint-ment to learn how to dress for the time of your life— the consultation is practically a steal!
“Ho, ho, ho!” What is Your Christmas Outfit Really Saying About You?

El presidente de Colom-bia, Juan Manuel Santos, dijo hoy que el “futbol está de luto” con la muerte del ex arquero de la selección na-cional, Miguel Calero, en la ciudad de México.
“Nos duele mucho a todos los colombianos lo sucedido con Miguel Calero. Acom-pañamos de corazón a su fa-milia. El futbol está de luto”, dijo Santos en su cuenta de Twitter, después que el gru-po deportivo Pachuca oficia-lizara el fallecimiento del ex jugador.
El vicepresidente colom-biano, Angelino Garzón, también lamentó la muerte de Calero, quien jugó en la selección de mayores de Co-lombia y en los equipos De-portivo Cali y Atlético Na-
cional, antes de ser fichado por el club mexicano “Tuzos” del Pachuca.
“Yo entiendo por lo que están pasando él y su fami-lia, porque hace pocos me-ses mi situación fue igual, el accidente cerebro vascular es complicado y no respeta edad, situación económica ni género”, afirmó Garzón.
Jugadores y personalida-des colombianas han envia-do mensajes de condolencias a la familia de Calero, a tra-
vés de sus cuentas de Twitter.
“Fuerza a familiares y amigos de Miguel Calero. Me uno a las oraciones de to-dos para que les dé la fuerza necesaria en este momento”, escribió Radamel Falcao, de-lantero colombiano del club español Atlético de Madrid.
La Liga del Futbol Profe-sional de Colombia escribió en su portal: “Adiós Miguel Calero, descansa en paz”, con 14 títulos en “cuatro clubes, goles y sucesos inolvidables como los penales de Martín Palermo”.
“Se fue Miguel Ángel Ca-lero Rodríguez, `El Show´, `El Cóndor´, el portero que marcó una época por ex-céntrico y humano dentro y fuera del campo”, dice la nota del portal de la Liga del Futbol Profesional de Co-lombia.
