It is the time to plan ahead for your pro-fessional or vocational training in a col-lege or university. Today, students from
all social and financial backgrounds, may ac-quire assistance to meet the expected costs ofgoing on from high school to a university or col-lege of their choice.
Too many Latino students of modest meansassume that they will never be accepted by auniversity because their family does not havethe money required to pay for tuition, books,housing (room and board), etc. Many years agothat would have been very true. Today it is notthe case because many local organizations suchas the San Jose GI Forum Scholarship Founda-tion, Ms. Rose Flores, Chair, have the missionand purpose to help local Latino high schoolgraduates with scholarships, mentoring, andother assistance.
Over the years since 1974, this local organ-ization has collected money from corporate andindividuals to provide scholarships. A total of$1.5 million has been awarded as scholarshipsto local Latino students who apply for assistancebefore the deadline (Second Friday of March,2010). Their next awards dinner is beingplanned now for Tuesday, June 8, 2010.
First of all, you must plan to take the SAT(Scholastic Aptitude Test) when it is scheduledlocally. Then, it is time to learn about applica-tion deadlines for all the schools that you are in-terested in attending. But before all that, youmust plan to do your very best as a student who
has taken all the required coursework that qual-ifies you as a potential college student.
These days, despite tax revenue shortfalls,none of the Universities of California campuses,state universities, or community colleges arebeing closed. A shortfall in operational fundinghas required them to raise tuition rates, however,your first concern needs to be to do the very bestas a high school student so that you qualify ac-ademically. You see, government, society, andlocal organizations want to assist you, but youmust first apply to indicate your interest, prepa-ration and commitment for further training.
In fact, this past month of November 2009,three organizations had representatives visit theNational Hispanic University. One was the His-panic College Fund whose main offices are atWashington, D.C. The second was the HispanicScholarship Fund located in San Francisco, CA.The specific mission of both these organizationsis to encourage and assist Latino students whohave prepared themselves to qualify for and at-tend some college or university. The third wasthe Hispanic Association of Colleges and Uni-versities (HACU).
It is recommended that you google thesethree organizations to learn about themnow...not later. If you do not have access to acomputer, you may use one at a local library orask a professional friend to let you come overand use their computer. Go prepared with penand notebook and, most importantly, for yourown personal safety always let your parents
know where you are and who you are visiting.
Remember that it takes a village to developa child through his/her growth towards becom-ing a responsible adult in the community. Manyare willing to be counselors and mentors, butare never asked by those who need a hand up,more than a hand out. The important thing is tomake an effort to communicate your interestand your need for assistance. You cannot be shyabout your personal dreams for the future. In-variably, they involve your parents, teachers,counselors and local community based organi-zations as well as national organizations.
As always, the initial effort begins withyou. So learn to ask for assistance. Anyone whohas established themselves in business or pro-fession has had that experience. So ask them togive you the benefit of their experience. It is nosurprise that many will take the time to mentor,counsel and advise. Learn to ask "Who do youknow that can tell me about....?
Seek help and you will find it. Know thatif you have the preparation and the potentialbrain power that needs development, many uni-versities and colleges have the capacity andability to encourage and support you. They areseeking the undeveloped and untrained mindthat is prepared to become learned. Your job isto become prepared and be interested. Take itone step at a time. Ask yourself, "How do I learnto ....?" And then go after it.
Hola doctora, Hace 5 años entré a este pais legal con una visa de
turista y decidí quedarme (cosa que creo fue un error).Tengo una hija de dos años nacida aqui yo soy de El Sal-vador y el padre Mexicano (igual sin papeles) yo vivosola con mi hija. Quiero saber qué posibilidad existe deque yo pueda arreglar papeles en este pais.
Otra cosa que quería preguntarle es en el caso queyo me quiera ir a México y me caso con un mexicano yme vuelvo ciudadana mexicana qué necesito para podersacar a mi hija de este pais, ¿es forzoso tener el permisodel papá para sacar a la niña de aquí? Aparte de todo esohe escuchado comentarios de personas que comentanque al regresarse te quitan a tus hijos?
Esto es muy confuso el no saber qué hacer esperosu respuesta.
Sincy
Estimada Sincy, La primera pregunta es muy fácil. Si entró con visa
puede casarse con un ciudadano norteamericano y ganarla residencia así. No tiene que salir del pais para hacereso y es la única manera que se puede legalizar hastaque haya un cambio de la ley. Pero tiene que ser un mat-rimonio verdadero porque los oficiales son muy vivos yporque va a recibir la residencia con una condición y en2 años tendrá que hacer papeles otra vez normalmentecon la ayuda de su esposo
La segunda pregunta es un poco mas dificil. Antesde salir del país, debe obtener un pasaporte para su hija.Para obtener el pasaporte va a necesitar el acta denacimiento de la niña y el padre tendrá que ir con ustedy la niña personalmente al correo para firmar en frentedel oficial. (El acta de nacimiento tiene que tener elnombre del padre y madre.) Si el padre no puede acom-pañarlas, él tiene que firmar un consentimiento enfrentede un notario publico. De todos modos, va a necesitar elpermiso del padre. También, los aerolíneas van a nece-sitar un documento firmado y notarizado por el padredando su consentimiento si la madre llegue sola alaeropuerto con su hijo o hija.
Yo nunca he oído que alguien va a quitar a su hijo silos dos entran legalmente. La única situación que yopuedo imaginar es si usted trate de entrar ilegalmente -lo cual es muy peligroso para las dos y el Servicio deInmigración la detenga. La hija podría entregarse tem-poralmente a un miembro de la familia que esté aquílegalmente o a una agencia del estado hasta que se puedejuntar la niña con un pariente. Espero que esto contestea sus preguntas.
Buena suerte
Beverly Black, Esq. es abogada de las leyes mi-gratorias y de familia en Filadelfia, PA con más deveinte años de experiencia. Ella sugiere que ustedbusque consejo legal porque cada caso es diferente. Siquiere hacer una pregunta por favor use la siguientedirección electrónica: [email protected].

SAN JOSE, Calif.-This giving sea-son the Valley Medical CenterFoundation has kicked off its first-
ever Holiday Wish List. The VMC Founda-tion seeks cash donations so that hospitalstaff can receive much-needed items to im-prove patient health, safety and comfort atthe Santa Clara Valley Medical Center andthe community clinics.
"During these tough economic times, wehave to work harder than ever before to findthe resources we need to provide the best careto our patients," said Christopher Wilder, ex-ecutive director of the VMC Foundation."The Holiday Wish List gives my colleaguesand me an opportunity to raise money forsome very important projects suggested bythe hospital's employees."
Staff submitted more than 40 suggestionsfor items to raise money for on the HolidayWish List. A committee narrowed the list tofour of the most critical items, worth justover $30,000 in all, including:
• Flu infection control stations to beplaced at all hospital entrances and the clin-ics. These stations help visitors self-screenfor illness, offer antibacterial gel and provideup-to-the-minute information on vaccinesand outbreaks.
• A soothing art installation in VMC's So-
brato Cancer Center, which features the state-of-the-art Linear Accelerator. The artworkswill help reduce patients' feelings of anxietyof cancer diagnosis and treatment.
• A motorized patient lift to position pa-tients weakened by disease, or who are para-plegic or quadriplegic, on the imaging tablesused by technologists and doctors. The mo-torized lift will reduce stress for patients andstaff, and minimize the chance of pain and in-jury.
• Monitoring devices to prevent brain in-jury patients from taking dangerous fallswhile in the hospital. These patients are at avery high risk of falling if they try to get outof bed on their own. A fall could result in abroken bone or other trauma.
The VMC Foundation raises funds andawareness for the entire Santa Clara ValleyHealth & Hospital System. Donations for theHoliday Wish List can be made online atwww.vmcfoundation.org/wishlist with creditcard or PayPal, or checks can be sent to:

Anumber of police officers surrounded DanielPham as he lay on the ground handcuffed. Healso had 12 bullets inside of him.
After responding to a phone call from Pham's girlfriendabout a disturbance, San Jose Police Officers Jeffrey andBlackerby arrived at the Pham residence and found Danielstanding in the rear of the house smoking a cigarette andholding what the police called a "large knife". According tothe police report, he had blood smeared over his torso, neckand possibly his face.
The report also stated that Pham did not respond to theofficers' commands. Instead he stared at the officers with noemotion while continuing to smoke his cigarette. Shots werefired just two minutes later.
On Tuesday, November 24, several community organi-zations gathered outside of San Jose's City Hall and calledfor more police accountability.
"We are here because we want to live in a safer San Joseand we don't want to live in fear of the police," said MicheleLew, President and CEO of the Asian Americans for Com-munity Involvement organization. "We don't want to becalled anti-police because we question the police."
After reviewing the 911 tapes, police reports and otherdocuments, many troubling questions were raised regardingPham's death.
"The policed failed to use common sense," said RichardKonda, Director of the Asian Law Alliance. "The tapes re-vealed that Pham was mentally ill. They were told this by thedispatcher and by his brother, Brian Pham."
Neither of the officers reported that Pham was mentallyill. A barbed wire fence also enclosed the Pham's house.
"Jumping over that barbed wire enclosed fence and intothe backyard of the Pham house with backup on the way iscontrary to reasonable police training," Konda said. "Weren'tthe officers putting themselves into a dangerous situation byjumping into the backyard over the barbed wire fence?"
Another question was the actual size of the alleged "large
knife" that Pham had in his possession."The fact is that the knife was a small one," Konda said.
"The evidence log lists item #28 as a Knife, Bloody, BladeLength 4.5" overall: 8.5" Round tip."
Based on the questions raised by the tapes and the policereports, the Pham family and other concerned individuals andorganizations will request a formal meeting with District At-torney Dolores Carr and ask that she convene an open grandjury to determine if criminal charges should be filed againstOfficers Jeffrey and Blackerby.

La espera ha ido mejorando a comparación de lasprimeras vacunaciones masivas . Muchas personas esperaronhasta siete horas para ser vacunados. En esta reciente vacu-nación cerca del mediodía ya había avanzado considerable-mente.

internet del Departamento de Salud y esto ha reducido lademora para hacerse vacunar.
Voluntarios iniciaron su trabajo desde muy tempranopara asegurarse que llevan todas las documentaciones delcaso. Las líneas también se han reducido debido a que másvacunas se ha suministrado a los proveedores de salud pri-vado en el Condado de Santa Clara, para que más personasreciban la vacuna a través de sus proveedores. Hasta el mo-mento el estado ha entregado 277,330 dosis de vacunas a losproveedores de salud públicos y privados incluyendo el sis-tema de Kaiser en el Condado.
En las clínicas de vacunación pública realizadas en losúltimos tres fines de semana se han distribuidos poco menosde 27,000 dosis para las personas en uno de los grupos dealto riesgo. Eso significa que la gran mayoría se ha ido a losproveedores de salud, incluyendo hospitales, clínicas y gru-pos privados y las prácticas médicas en el Condado de SantaClara. Es importante para aquellos de alto riesgo, que quierenque la vacuna primero en contacto con su proveedor médico.

The Hispanic Association of Colleges& Universities (HACU) was intro-duced by NHU's President, Dr. David
Lopez, to this community's educators this pastThursday, November 19, 2009 when its president& CEO, Antonio R. Flores, spoke at a luncheongathering of about 75 very interested attendees.From its national headquarters in San Antonio,Texas, the current "HACU on the Road" promo-tion was launched to promote national and inter-
national dialogue about the state of Hispanichigher education.
Flores stated, "Within fewer that 20 years,Hispanics will represent one of every two newworkers entering the U.S. labor force. Today,they comprise one of every three new workers."Hispanic youth are the focus of an effort to in-form them of opportunities for professional em-ployment in a global economy wherein the USAwill not fare well without them as trained His-panics."
Following the presentation of a litany of sta-tistics, the most significant of which is the infor-mation revealing that only 29.5 percent ofHispanic high school graduate ages 18-21 wereenrolled in college in 2006 compared to 47 per-cent of non-Hispanic whites, Flores concludedthat "in an economy increasingly driven byhigher education, the state of Hispanic higher ed-ucation constitutes a crisis that must be ad-dressed. Educating the workforce of tomorrow isa national imperative."
HACU has come to California because 34percent of all Hispanic students live here and re-quire the advocacy efforts being promoted today.Hispanic serving institutions (HSIs) have beenidentified to enable their becoming the target offederal grants and programs to support Hispaniceducation. For example, the College Cost Reduc-tion and Access Act of 2007 (CCRAA) commit-ted $200 million to HSIs over two years tosupport STEM (science, technology, engineeringand math education & partnerships arrange-ments). Over 38 percent ($77 million) of these
funds were awarded to California institutions.Since 1995 HACU's advocacy efforts with thefederal government in Washington, D.C., have
led to over $1.2 billion in grants to HSIs.HACU's effort identifies legislation addressinghigher Hispanic education needs across the PK-20 pipeline and beyond. This effort includes ap-propriation requests for programmatic fundingand identifies long-range education, labor, re-search and outreach priorities. It proposesamendment recommendations for the reautho-rization of major legislation which impacts His-panic higher education.
Other initiatives include programs in infor-mation technology (IT), leadership capacity de-velopment, including the Latino HigherEducation Leadership Institute and Youth Lead-
ership Development Forum. Also, HACU coor-dinates the Professions Capacity Building Pro-gram funded by DHHS through the NationalCenter for Minority Health and Health Dispari-ties. HACU's National Internship Program is cur-rently the largest Hispanic internship program,placing Latino students in paid internships withfederal agencies and corporate partners. Over thepast 15 years, the value of HACU funded intern-ships at California based institutions amountedto $297,427,450.
In summary, HACU promotes higher His-panic education through fundraising, advocacy,partnerships, legislation, student scholarshipsand paid internships.
One persisting challenge is the propensity ofLatino parents to want their high school graduateson or daughter to get a job which contributesnow to the family's income (work hard) ratherthan defer employment to permit continued in-vestment of time and treasure in development oftalent (i.e., the formation of 'human economiccapital'). Deferring a job until after college per-mits future employment at a much higher incomeand a greater personal and social return on in-vestments of time and treasure made by the indi-vidual, family, and society.

ern States Legislative Affairs, Sacramento, CA,phone 916-442-0392,or email:

This past Thanksgiving week was like any other Thanksgiving week throughout the years at the Sacred Heart Community Services center in San Jose.Truckloads of turkeys were emptied and handed out to families in need. A
fire truck from local 230 of the San Jose Fire Department brought over 200 turkeys thatwere given out along with the those donated by the community. More than 250 volun-teers helped organize the event.
The volunteers put together boxes of food, helped people register, handed out theboxes and turkeys, and even helped carry the food. The families were given a box withbasic foods like rice, beans, pasta, milk, juice, bread, fruit, cooking oil, and dessert.The family member receiving help was given the choice between turkey or chicken,with the popular pick of turkey and random requests for ham.
For some people, that was the first time getting assistance, while others were moredependent on programs similar to it. People of all ages and ethnicities lined up to collecttheir food. As they went through the line they were reminded to have a Happy Thanks-giving.
Sacred Heart began to give out the boxes of food Monday and ran it until the daybefore Thanksgiving. They will be doing the same during Christmas time and any helpis greatly appreciated.

Más que una canción, queremos hacerun llamado a nuestra comunidad paraunirnos y comunicarnos a través una
sola voz. Basta de violencia y de perseguir a nuestragente. " Ningún ser humano es ilegal", dijo SaulHernández.
Así comenzó la reunión de líderes del Área deLa Bahía ,representantes de Amnistía Internacionaly los integrantes del grupo de rock " Jaguares ".
Hernández comenta que "necesitamos progra-mas de prevención, porque ultimadamente nuestragente es la que sufre. Esto no le da la razón a nadie
por todas las injusticias que se cometen con los in-migrantes. El problema de inmigración comienzadesde México y nuestros paises de origen. Si los go-biernos crearan fuentes de trabajo y una mayor se-guridad la gente no inmigraria tanto".
Unión sin banderas "Si nos unieramos sin importar de dónde, ya sea
Mexicanos, Guatemaltecos, Salvadoreños etc.todosería diferente. Históricamente no debemos de olvi-dar que nosotros no cruzamos la línea,la línea noscruzó pero ahora necesitamos adaptarnos a un sis-tema y cultura diferente debemos educarnos yaprender el sistema", sostiene Alfonso André.
"Hay un punto que no toman en cuenta y quees el de la fuerza laboral, que viene a formar granparte del aporte a la economía de este país. Algunosamericanos piensan que donde uno viene es sucio ypues hay cambiar eso, cada uno poniendo de nuestraparte. Nosotros no nos creemos grandes lideres solosomos un grupo que siente y manifiesta el dolor delinmigrante", manifesta Alejandro Marcovich.
¿Cómo nos formamos guerreros?" Con una Conciencia Colectiva algo que fun-
cione para todos. Hay varios tipos de personas ,losque luchan por un año , los que luchan por varios
años y los que luchan por toda la vida ,esos son losimprescindibles. Hagamos que toda la gente se in-volucre que los Americanos se involucren
Un miembro comentaba que estamos asi por elegoismo solo pensamos en nosotros,sino nos afectasomos indiferentes", interviene Hernández.
A su vez Marcovich dice que hay que hacer algosin esperar una recompensa. "Hay un dicho que dicehoy por ti mañana por mi y seria mejor solo hacerel bien si esperar ni ver a quien,como latinos algonos une venimos de Incas, Mayas Aztecas y son
varias culturas y debemos apoyarnos todos comouna sola América. Preparémonos estudiemos,el in-ternet es una herramienta en la cual puedes aprendery expresar nuestros pensamientos aprovechémoslapensemos más allá del fútbol más alla de las nove-las"

The song hasits ups and downs and the crowd knew how to march tothe beat.
The lineup included classics like "Maria," "La In-grata," and most recently "Volver a Comenzar." Songsthat were also being requested with literal shout outsfrom and most of the time, they were performed.
Band members Rubén, Quique, Joselo y Meme arewell adored by fans and during their performance, fansjumped on stage, danced and were returned to the mainfloor of the theater. Like in any other concert, the bandtook a breather and began the final set of songs strong.
The band began playing in a garage to then move upto playing in bars and hit major venues with success. Thelead singer himself cannot believe they have such youngfans and continue to work on other projects.
It doesn't matter when people discover the band, be-cause sooner or later they will realize they have found asound that is one of a kind. The band plans on releasinga documentary based on their last tour, Si No, which willinclude footage of the band in Japan, South America,United States, and Spain.
