The ADB's forecast of 7.5 per cent economic growth in Asia for 2011/12 now faced "risks on the downside" because of the threat from Europe.


He said vulnerable emerging markets needed to make "contingency plans" to protect themselves from a downturn and significant capital outflows from their economies.


Dire warnings from Pentagon over potential defense cuts


Defense Secretary Leon Panetta turned up the heat on Congress Monday, warning that looming automatic budget cuts would undermine national security and set off a financial chain reaction from the hallways of the Pentagon, to the battlefields of Afghanistan, to civilian assembly lines.


The Pentagon already is digesting $450 billion of reductions over the next decade but now fears an additional $600 billion or more in cuts may be imminent if Congress cannot reach a deal on spending.


"The impacts of these cuts would be devastating for the department," Panetta said in a letter to Sens. John McCain, R-Arizona, and Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina.


He said that congressional failure to reach a budget agreement and the resulting so-called sequestration would trigger 23% across-the-board reductions and a halt to many new projects.


"Such a large cut, applied in this indiscriminate manner, would render most of our ship and construction projects unexecutable -- you cannot buy three quarters of a ship or a building -- and seriously damage other modernization efforts," Panetta wrote to the senators.


"We would also be forced to separate many of our civilian personnel involuntarily and, because the reduction would be imposed so quickly, we would almost certainly have to furlough civilians in order to meet the target."


"These changes would break faith with those who maintain our military and seriously damage readiness."


The cuts would eventually hit combat troops, Panetta said.


"While wartime funding in the Overseas Contingency Operations accounts is not directly affected by the sequester, war efforts would be adversely affected by the severe disruption in the base budgets," Panetta warned.


"Contracting personnel would be cut, resulting in delays in the contracts and the contract oversight that support the war."


"Payroll personnel would be cut, resulting in late payments to wartime vendors, and legal and policy support would be disrupted."


The two senators had written Panetta 10 days ago, asking for details of the potential impact of the automatic cuts on the Defense Department.


"The consequence of a sequester on the Defense Department would set off a swift decline of the United States as the world's leading military power."


"We are staunchly opposed to this draconian action," the senators said in a joint statement Monday afternoon when they released Panetta's letter.


"This is not an outcome that we can live with, and it is certainly not one that we should impose on ourselves."


"The sequester is a threat to the national security interests of the United States, and it should not be allowed to occur."


Whether the Panetta letter and the fresh warnings from Senators will increase pressure for a budget compromise or step up calls to exempt the Pentagon from cuts remains to be seen.


Panetta has been increasingly outspoken about the possible cuts, although he came to the top Pentagon job with years of budget expertise himself in Congress and the White House and knowing that he was facing tough choices.


At a news conference last week, the secretary of defense painted a bleak picture of what could lie ahead -- a military with a shell but no core.


"It's a ship without sailors."


"It's a brigade without bullets."


"It's an air wing without enough trained pilots."


"It's a paper tiger, an Army of barracks, buildings and bombs without enough trained soldiers able to accomplish the mission," Panetta said in his opening remarks at the Pentagon.


"It's a force that suffers low morale, poor readiness and is unable to keep up with potential adversaries."


"In effect, it invites aggression.."


In an addendum to his letters to McCain and Graham, Panetta spelled out new specifics of how reductions "generate significant operational risks: delay response time to crises, conflicts, and disasters; severely limits our ability to be forward deployed and engaged around the world; and assumes unacceptable risk in future combat operations."


And Panetta said that some of the biggest defense projects could face the ax, including those already being tested and some just in early stages of planning.


That list included the F35 Joint Strike Fighter, a planned new bomber, the next-generation ballistic submarine, the new littoral combat ship and the new ground combat vehicle the Army and Marines need to replace the humvee.


Halting further development and testing the F35 could generate some $80 billion in savings over 10 years but its supporters say it is a vital next step to upgrade and meet potential threats from China and other rivals.


How to spot a lie


A glance at recent headlines indicates just how serious and pervasive deceit and lying are in daily life.


Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is busy trading allegations of sexual harassment with several women; each side accuses the other of lying.


Administrators at Penn State have been charged with perjury for allegedly covering up reports that a retired football coach was sexually assaulting boys.


Last week French president Nicolas Sarkozy was caught on an open microphone asserting to U.S. President Barack Obama that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a liar.


Lying has destroyed careers and convulsed countries.


New York congressman and Internet flasher Anthony Weiner made a fool of himself issuing denials quickly contradicted by incontrovertible evidence.


Former presidential candidate John Edwards has been charged with campaign finance violations connected to the cover-up of an extramarital affair.


And then again, no one who lived through it will ever forget the media circus President Bill Clinton unleashed by lying during his second term in office about his sexual involvement with Monica Lewinsky.


Tales of cheating on school and college tests are rife.


There have been instances where teachers have given students test answers in order to make themselves look good on their performance reviews.


Mentors who should be teaching the opposite are sending a message that lying and cheating are acceptable.


How much deceit do we encounter?


On a given day, studies show, you may be lied to anywhere from 10 to 200 times.


Now granted, many of those are white lies.


Another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other.


Detecting lies, or "lie spotting," is an essential skill for everyone to acquire, for both personal and professional reasons.


Far from being a parlor game similar to, say, charades, where the object is to exclaim, "Gotcha," deception detection is a serious branch of knowledge based on scientific data collected over the last six decades at prestigious universities conducting in-depth research projects, especially in psychology and physiology.


One result of the research is that most old myths about lying have been debunked.


Liars do look you in the eye.


They do not always stutter, stammer, blush or fidget.


Don't conclude from this that liars are hard to spot and difficult to unmask.


A trained lie spotter can get to the truth by learning about statement structure, facial micro-expressions, question formation and timing.


I spent several years surveying the scientific findings in the vast and ever emerging body of knowledge on deception, and it is clear that deception detection is a modern skill that is easy to learn and helpful in navigating our complex world -- especially if your professional responsibilities include hiring, interviewing, negotiating or managing.


Good liars are skilled at reading others well, putting them at ease, managing their own emotions and intuitively sensing how others perceive them.


We know from research that extroverts lie more than introverts, that men tell more "self-oriented" lies while women tell more "other-oriented" lies -- usually to protect someone's feelings -- that married people lie less frequently to their partners than unmarried people do (but the lies they do tell tend to be "whoppers").


We also know that if you are perceived as a wrongdoer, others will feel less guilt in lying to you.


How do you tell if someone is lying?


First, observe your subject's normal behavior.


This is called "baselining."


It helps provide a reference point for measuring changes later.


Observe your subject's posture, laugh, vocal quality.


You'd better know if someone normally taps their foot all the time so you don't make unjust accusations when you see foot-tapping in the middle of the meeting.


Then look for clusters of deceptive verbal and nonverbal behaviors.


Consider these clusters red flags, not proof of deception.


Deceptive people might freeze their upper body when trying to remember their story, they might point their feet toward the door, lean toward an exit, shift their posture in significant ways or exhibit "post-interview relief" -- that exaggerated exhale of relief and shift in posture when all the hard questions are over.


Interrogators often falsely signal that an interview is over just to look for that post-interview relief.


Also, pay attention to your subject's language.


Scott Peterson famously slipped and used the past tense while claiming his murdered wife was alive, launching a nationwide search for her.


Deceptive individuals might also use distancing language: " I did not have sexual relations with that woman ... Miss Lewinsky" or repeat a hard question in its entirety.


The most common verbal indicators are subtle.


Someone might use lots of "qualifying language" when answering a hard question: " Well ... to tell you the truth ... as far as I know ... to the best of my knowledge."


This renders the answer perceptual rather than factual and is often a red flag.


There's no magic bullet for detecting lies, but developing skills to ferret out deception is possible.


These skills will enhance anyone's chances of avoiding victimization by scam artists in their professional and personal lives.


Controversial Oil Pipeline Plan to Be Rerouted After Threat of Delayed U.S. Approval


Days after the Obama administration threatened to delay approval of a planned oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico -- angering unions while appeasing environmentalists -- the company seeking to build the pipeline says it's willing to reroute the project to get it back on track.


TransCanada said Monday evening it will move the planned pipeline out of the environmentally sensitive Sandhills area of Nebraska, and is confident the project will still win approval.


The company announced the decision at a news conference at the Nebraska Capitol.


TransCanada official Alex Pourbax says the company remains confident it will eventually get a pipeline approved, albeit with a different route.


That comes after the State Department's announcement last week that it would delay a decision on a federal permit for the project until it studies new potential routes that avoid the Sandhills areas of Nebraska and the Ogallala aquifer, a vast underground water supply.


"This is a real path forward," Rep. Lee Terry, a Republican from Nebraska, told Fox News.


The new environmental review ordered by the State Department likely would push off any decision until 2013, after next year's elections, though officials denied that politics was involved in the decision.


Obama, in a written statement last week, described the decision as the State Department's call, and expressed support for it.


The 1,700-mile pipeline would extend from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.


It would carry 700,000 barrels per day from the province of Alberta to refineries in Texas.


To do so would require it crossing six states.


It is hated by environmentalists but loved by labor groups, who have banked on the estimated 20,000 jobs tied to the pipeline.


But Nebraska lawmakers opposed to the plan are weighing legislation to force a move away from the Sand Hills region and Ogallala aquifer, a major source of drinking water and irrigation.


The State Department's current Environmental Impact Study found the project would pose only limited adverse environmental impacts, but the energy industry source said the department's inspector general has ordered a separate probe of the review process, centering on two questions.


One is whether a lobbyist hired by TransCanada, Paul Elliott, who was a campaign adviser to Hillary Clinton in 2008, represents a conflict of interest for the program.


The other is whether a firm that was hired to conduct the original study was an inappropriate choice because it was tied to TransCanada.


Patti LaBelle Sued for Allegedly Causing Toddler to Vomit out of Fear


A New York family claims that disco diva Patti LaBelle launched into a rampage in the lobby of their Manhattan building, terrifying their toddler daughter to the point where she threw up in fear.


The "Lady Marmalade" singer's tirade frightened 18-month-old Genevieve Monk so badly that she suffered "personality changes, sleep disorder" and "increased fear of strangers," her family says in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit.


It was Nov. 10 of last year when stagehand Kevin Monk, his kindergarten-teacher wife, Roseanna, and Genevieve were getting ready to go on a family trip.


While Kevin Monk got the car, Roseanna Monk came down to the lobby of their Riverside Boulevard building with their luggage, carrying Genevieve.


Roseanna Monk said she stopped near the door and put her daughter down for a moment.


"Someone came up behind me and said, "Do you know what your daughter is doing?" I said "yes" and went to pick her up," she said.


LaBelle angrily admonished the pregnant woman.


"She said in an aggressive tone, "You shouldn't have left your daughter by the door,"" Roseanna Monk said.


"I told her, "I have no interest in what you say or think.'"


She became enraged and started using profanities -- the C-word and the F-word in a loud voice ...


She had a bottle of water and started flicking water from the bottle on me.


She said Genevieve got hysterical.


"I said to this woman, "Look what you've done to my daughter,"" the child's mother said.


LaBelle lunged at the mom -- who was still holding Genevieve -- and had to be restrained by her entourage and pulled out to a waiting car, Roseanna Monk said.


The tot was crying so hard that she vomited, she added.


Later, the family sent a note asking for an apology from LaBelle but got no response.


LaBelle's lawyer and representatives did not return calls for comment.


The suit seeks unspecified damages, but the family's lawyer, Sam Davis, said he took the case for free and that the family plans to donate any money it gets to a children's cancer charity.


"The purpose is to hold Patti LaBelle responsible for her conduct," Davis said.


"That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable, especially when aimed at a kindergarten teacher carrying an 18-month-old child."


The climatic adversity slowed down the economy


During the first year of Mario Lopez Valdez management, in Sinaloa increased the unemployment and the informality, foreign investment declined and the economy was reduced.


2011 is a year that will be remembered in the economic history of Sinaloa, being related to the first year of Mario Lopez Valdez government also called the year of change, which generated great expectations as regards the development of the economy, but given the climatic adversity of the beginning of the year, there was no growth, however there was registered a decline in the main indicators of economic development.


The low February temperatures, not only did they cause losses of millions for the agricultural sector, but they limited the possibilities of the state economy to grow, causing a contraction of the economic activity in general of 3.6 percent in the first half of the year, mainly supported by the historic fall of 31.16 per cent in agriculture, which affected the dynamics of other economic sectors.


According to the report regarding the areas affected by the frost, issued by the Mexican Council for Sustainable Rural Development there were damaged 835.582 hectares, out of which 78.03 percent suffered total damage and the remaining of 21.07 percent had partial damage. The main damaged crops were the vegetables, corn and chickpea.


The fall in the economic activity has generated, until November, a constant increase of the unemployment in the state, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, the unemployment state rate during the first three quarters of the year registered an accelerated growth, from January to March 55.053 Sinaloa habitants were unemployed, with a rate of 4.53 percent of the economically active population for the second quarter, the rate became 5.28 percent, and between July and September the average continued to increase to 6.19 percent, a rate that in terms of the number of people represents more than 74.000 of unemployed Sinaloa habitants, an increase compared to the first half of 18.969 individuals.


Lower liquidity


Unemployment in Sinaloa during the year is multi-factorial, for the economist Gerardo Lopez Cervantes, director at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences of the UAS, the growth of unemployment can be explained indirectly, depending on the actions that the public policy has been taken.


"What we're seeing now is an increase of the unemployment that has to do with several factors, including the loss of liquidity in the market for the purpose of a resource constraint imposed by the legislation that passed in the Congress in order to combat money laundering since for the people who illegally possess dollars is not easy work with, invest and use them in something" he said.


Stopped Immigration


Lopez Cervantes said that in the increase of unemployment there is also a demographic factor.


"The number of people who leaves the state in search of a job abroad, in the United States has been restricted, first of all due to the difficulties to enter, and second of all because once they enter they already have too many difficulties in finding a job, that group of people is staying and demanding jobs here, in the state, causing the rate of unemployment to rise, "he said.


Informality


The labor market analysis of Sinaloa gets worse when considering the high level of informality that prevails among the working conditions, according to INEGI, 60.38 percent of the active population in the state works without being quoted as workers to any social security institution.


In addition to the unemployment and informality, another state labor reminder is represented by low wages; the entity has the lowest wages in the country, according to the records of the Mexican Social Security Institute and the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare.


The monthly average income of Sinaloa workers was, until September, 5.352 pesos, well below the national average, that is of 7.375 pesos.


Contraction of FDI


In addition to the fall in economic activity and high unemployment rate, in 2011 there was recorded the largest decline in foreign direct investment over the past 10 years, according to the Ministry of Finance from January to June the state FDI totaled 630.697 dollars, which represents a fall of 87.74 percent compared to the 5.143.312 dollars during the same period of last year.


For its part, the Ministry of Economic Development of the State Government accounted a total investment of 17.280.000 pesos during the year, which occurred mainly in tertiary sector companies.


Debt


Against the backdrop of economic downturn, the state government asked in July during the state congress, the approval of a credit of 3 billion pesos, which would be for the investment in infrastructure projects in 18 municipalities, in order to reactivate the economy, the local congressional approval was for a total of 2.600 million pesos, and until November no benefits of the debt were observed in any sector of the state economy.


Reactions


For business representatives, the first year of Mario Lopez Valdes government demonstrates a lack of capacity of the government.


Miguel Loredo Lopez, president of the National Chamber of Transformation Industry, said that during 2011 there was a lack of harmonization of the wills of various sectors, including the state government itself.


"The performance of the economy in Sinaloa this year has been really poor, one has to work hard in order to regain the ground lost this year, in 2012 we must redouble our efforts, we failed to align the efforts of all and above all the good and synchronized motion of the new government team, we hope that next year will be much better" he said.


Economic slowness


Lopez Loredo said that the events such as early frost this year stopped the state economy and its performance and growth were restricted.


"The low economic flow is the product of several events, including frost, one of the main effects has been a slow economy which does not turn fast enough for generating an economic dynamism that allows having an acceptable flow level of the processes, products and services and therefore, at the end of the year we are closing it below our expectations," he said.


Redefining the vocation


Teodoro Salazar Uriarte, president of the Employers" Confederation of the Mexican Republic in Sinaloa, said that the state is required to prosecute the most dynamic productive activities.


"Overall, we found that there has been working on, we believe it is necessary to develop a long term program that redefines the vocation and the economic course of the state, it is important to detonate all the material and human potential resource that Sinaloa has," he said.


Work to Do


Coparmex President stressed the importance of establishing a future vision to guide better the efforts of the government.


"Overall I would say that the Government has been striving to be successful in various fields, in terms of economic development there is some progress but it is important to develop a long-term program," he said.


He noted that the current administration has shown progress in its own manner of leading the public policy.


"There are elements that allow us saying that the government is becoming more inclusive, and what I can say is that there is work done and I think the government is aware that there is work to do," he said.


They condemn him for 8 kilograms of marijuana


Five years in prison and a fine of 100 days was the sentence given to a Navolato citizen for the possession of eight kilos of marijuana.


The General Attorney Office reported that the sentenced drug dealer is Omar Alexis Valenzuela Sandoval, for the crime against health, in its variant of possession of marijuana for purposes of trade.


According to the record AP/SIN/CLN/687/2010/MI, Valenzuela Sandoval was arrested by the Mexican Army, the 7th of June 2010, in a surveillance operation on the street Cipriano Valdez, in front of the post 80 in the town of El Castillo, Navolato.


The drug dealer was driving a white pickup truck, where he was carrying a black bag in the box of the vehicle and on the passenger's seat a small backpack, where the soldiers found eight kilograms and 23 grams of marijuana.


For these reasons, the insured was put at the disposal of the Second District Court and the sentenced person continues to be a prisoner at the Center for Supporting the Legal Consequences of the Crime.


There must be made contributions to works


The social works referred to in the programs such as Habitat, Rescue of Public Spaces and 3x1 for migrants risk not to be completed or to have serious delays due to the lack of funds, said Miguel Angel Lopez Miranda.


The Director of Municipal Social Development indicated that although so far the work programs have advanced they are at risk because the State Government failed to make the contributions that correspond, which represent a resource superior to 11 million pesos in all three programs.


He noted that the total investment in these three programs is of nearly 50 million pesos, of which the State has to contribute with 25 percent and so far only the Federation and the Municipality have provided resources for the works, so the possible delay in the completion of these is in force.


"They have to contribute with almost 12 million and even though the year is ending they have not given us a dime, since starting with July they had to give us a part," he said, "in order not to delay we have started the works and they are very advanced, but we need the money."


He mentioned that last year, during the administration of Jesus Aguilar Padilla, the State did not comply with the contributions it had to make, so that at the beginning of the administration the municipality had to borrow money in order to cover more than 7 million, a sum that was not provided on that occasion by the state administration.


"It happened to us in the previous administration because the State did not have the financial capacity to participate and the programs continued advancing, and this year in order to access these programs we had to get the resources to cover what the state left pending," he explained.


Although there is a commitment of the state authorities to comply with the delivery of these resources, he said that the request was made to the Secretary of Administration and Finance, Armando Villarreal, to speed up the efforts so that the percentages that correspond to them to come as quickly as possible.


"They have to contribute with almost 12 million and even though the year is ending they have not given us a dime."


The court validates "digital television transition" in Mexico in 2015


The replacement of analog with digital is one of the most important changes that has hit the world in recent years


The Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ) rejected the constitutional controversies brought by the Senate and House of Representatives against the presidential decree that brings forward the so-called "digital television transition" from 2021 to 2015, since the eight votes needed to invalidate it were not obtained.


A minority of four ministers, including the President of the Court, Juan Silva Meza, considered that President Felipe Calderon did not exceed his authority by issuing a decree detailing the actions to take in order to achieve the transition to the digital terrestrial television.


With this result, the constitutional controversy promoted by the Senate, was rejected for not meeting the qualified majority of eight votes for the Court to pronounce on the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of the decree, and this remains in force.


The sentence project prepared by the Minister Olga Sánchez Cordero, proposed to declare unconstitutional the decree, because the regulation of radio and television materials is a power reserved by law to the Federal Telecommunications Commission (Cofetel), in violation of the principles of hierarchical subordination and law reserve.


Only Zaldivar, Jorge Mario Pardo, Margarita Luna and Sánchez Cordero voted for the project.


With this argument, both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies promoted two constitutional controversies to contradict the decree, and to support the claims, the minister Sánchez Cordero suspended the application of the decree and all actions stipulated there regarding the digital transition.


At the ministers" meeting there was also decided to reject the claim filed by the Chamber of Deputies, without entering into the discussion of the project, also in charge of the minister Sánchez Cordero.


In his speech, the minister said he did not agree with the arguments of the project in the sense that the federal executive cannot structure through general rules the measures for the public administration to get prepared.


"Nor do I consider that if made would affect the autonomy of the regulatory body," and recalled that the planning of public policies in strategic areas such as the telecommunications sector correspond to the federal executive, who has a constitutional mandate, the guidance of the State.


The replacement of analog to digital is one of the most important changes that have hit the world in recent years, and results in a better utilization of the radio-electric spectrum, better signal quality and more channels.


Delaying the change, he said, would mean delaying the benefits of digitization, which involves a public interest decision, which has not only a technical dimension, "as it covers economic, social, political and national security issues."


These issues, he said, "require the operation of the entire system established under the principle of the state economic stewardship, comprises a group of powers which the Constitution leads to the state executive power."


He recalled that a large number of countries around the world has now completed the digital transition, and has done it through the executive, despite of having highly specialized technical bodies.


There cannot be concluded that the government, by issuing the contested decree, that invades in any way the competence of the Congress, is providing in the administrative area the observation of the laws issued by the Legislature, he said.


They analyze the possibility of a "vote by vote" count in Michoacán


According to the data transmitted by the PERP the difference between the first and second place in the gubernatorial election is of only 27 percent, even without counting the votes corresponding to 879 of the total of 6.074 minutes.


The possibility of counting "vote by vote" is a reality as regards the electoral process of this year in Michoacán, where according to the data obtained from the Preliminary Electoral Results Program (PERP) the difference between the first and the second place of the governor's election is of only 27 percent, even without counting the votes that correspond to 879 of the total 6.074 minutes.


In this regard, the President of the General Council of Michoacán Electoral Institute (MEI), Maria de los Angeles Llanderal Zaragoza, recalled that a few days ago, the last November 9th, the electoral body approved a set of guidelines in order to harmonize the local regulations with the electoral federal reform.


As it will be recalled, Michoacán did not authorize the Constitution or the Electoral Code of the State or the Electoral Justice Act, since the Congress of the state approved the reforms shortly before the legal deadline for them to come into force in this electoral process and the Governor Leonel Godoy Rangel omitted its publication within the periods specified in the Law in the State Official Gazette, arguing that he had some objections.


The same November 9th, the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ) resolved the constitutional controversy promoted by the local legislature and described as "invalid and illegal" the vote of the state representative for the constitutional reforms, since he has no right "to sanction or vote them."


Interviewed about the possibility of the "vote by vote," Maria de los Angeles Llanderal stated that with the adoption of the appropriate guidelines by the General Council of the MEI it will be possible to perform partial and total counts of the vote by the local electoral body.


Thus, the partial recount of one or more electoral boxes may occur in the assumptions that: the results of the records do not match; there is no record of the count on the record of the box or they are not included in the power of the president; or when there are obvious errors or alterations of the minutes.


In addition, the total count of the vote received in all boxes of the election may take place when there is an indication that the difference between the alleged candidate winner of the election in question and the one who has obtained the second place in the voting, is equal to or less than one percentage point, as long as at the beginning of the session there is a request of the representative of the party and/or coalition that nominated the second of the mentioned candidates.


The total vote count will also be done if at the end of the ordinary calculation is established that the difference between the winner and the candidate placed on second position is equal to or less than one percentage point, as long as there is a request of the representative of the political party whose candidate came on the second position, case in which there will be excluded the electoral boxes that have been considered during the partial recount.


There should be noted that in this situation is the election of Morelia, where according to PERP the difference between the first and the second place is of just 0.16 percent, even without counting the votes of 129 of the 923 total minutes.


His last will


His ashes will be spread in the mountains of Zapalinamé, confirms the family.


The remains of the pilot Felipe Bacio Cortes arrived in Saltillo, his hometown, this Sunday night; on Monday there were carried out the reconnaissance and a requiem mass.


According to the family the last wish of the Lieutenant Colonel was his ashes to be spread in the mountains of Zapalinamé.


After receiving a tribute together with the other persons who died in the accident, the family of Bacio Cortes returned to the capital of Coahuila on the board of an aircraft of the Mexican Air Force, the closest people attended the ceremony at the Campo Marte.


At noon the ashes of the Lieutenant Colonel arrived at the chapel located on the boulevard Nazario Ortiz Garza, where family and friends were coming.


At 5:30 in the afternoon he received the reconnaissance of the Technological Institute of Saltillo organized by his former high school classmates and the football team, that Felipe Bacio was a part of, during his high school preparation.


"His wish was to return to Saltillo, and his ashes to be spread in the mountains of Zapalinamé, he always said this to his family and friends," this is what was announced by Sandra Cortes Bacio the sister of the pilot.


For her, the lieutenant colonel had fulfilled all his dreams, she considers that he was at the height of his life, "he was a successful man, an extraordinary father, son, and a loving brother and devoted to his family."


Felipe Cortes Bacio left very young the city of Saltillo in order to enter the College of the Air in Zapopan, Jalisco.


Some did not believe him, they said that he got dizzy even in the truck, but always wanted to fulfill his dream, that of becoming a pilot.


His nephew Jorge Alberto Dávila Bacio remembers him as a very good person, "just arrived in Saltillo the whole family wanted to greet him, as when he brought Martha Sahagun to Saltillo."


The young man recalls that even when he was seven years old he traveled to Zapopan for the graduation of his relative, so he knows that his uncle died doing what he loved most in life: piloting an aircraft.


They give him a last farewell


Shot guns were fired for the lieutenant colonel of the Mexican Air Force, Felipe Cortés Bacio, headed by the Governor Jorge Torres Lopez, the people of the village and Government of the State, the Mexican Army, through the Sixth Military Zone, the Mexican Air Force itself, managers and students of the Technological High School of Saltillo, where he studied in 1985 and made himself remarked both in study or in sport gave him the last farewell.


Bacio Cortés died the past days when the helicopter he piloted collapsed, along with Secretary of the Provincial Government, José Francisco Blake Mora, and six others, all officials of this department.


At 18:05 the remains of Bacio Cortés (cremated), a citizen of Saltillo arrived to be given by the funeral home to members of the Mexican Air Force, led by Major James Martinez, on the esplanade of the training school, where he was already expected by his family, including his daughter Amanda and his wife Cristina, her mother, brothers and other relatives, students and teachers.


Three bodies are found left in the NL Cadereyta farm


Hours before the discovery, the military authority presented in media eleven persons who were detained in the same municipality for crimes related to organized crime.


Three men were found shot dead in different parts of the body and with the shot of grace, in an abandoned farm of the municipality of Cadereyta Jimenez, Nuevo Leon.


The discovery occurred at kilometer 1.5 of the Cadereyta road to Santiago, at the height of the community known as El Castillo.


Several people who went through the site noted that in the country-house, whose wall is beige with brown, the gate was wide open.


Looking inward, at about three meters, they located the bodies of three people, so they immediately gave notice to the corresponding authorities.


One of the men wore a yellow t-shirt with black jeans, with no shoes, and near him there was one man with white under vest.


At almost one meter there was the body of another individual with red shirt and blue jeans.


The three were face down.


According to the data obtained there, the three persons were killed in another place, since there were no cases on the site.


On the fence of the country house there are legends directed from one organized crime group to another, and there are several bullet holes in it and in the gate.


11 are captured in Cadereyta


The National Defense Secretariat made the presentation of the 11 people, including a minor, who were part of a criminal group that operated mainly in the municipality of Cadereyta and who are accused of abductions, killings, "inveigles" and clandestine burials.

He is accused of clandestine burials in the municipalities of the General Teran, China and Cadereyta.


Wednesday there will be formed the new Italian government


The appointed prime minister, Mario Monti, will meet tomorrow with the president of Italy in order to present the new government that will face the crisis that has put the country on the edge of an economic disaster


The designated Italian prime minister, Mario Monti, will meet Wednesday with the President of Italy in order to present the new government that will face the crisis that has put Italy on the edge of an economic disaster and has endangered the entire euro zone.


A statement from the presidential palace announced that Monti, named on Sunday, will meet on Wednesday with the president, Giorgio Napolitano, to confirm that he can form a government.


He is expected to present a cabinet composed largely of technocrats, although it is unclear when the new executive will undertake the position.


Monti said the he will present to the president the results of his talks with the political parties in his attempt to form a government.


"I want to confirm my complete confidence in the ability of our country of getting out of this difficult phase," said the former European commissioner to the reporters.


Monti did not say explicitly that he could form a government but the tone of his comments indicated that the obstacles had been overcome.


The "framework is now well delineated," he said.


Monti has completed the process of forming a government in less than three days, much less than the normal, while Italy fought a political and financial crisis that has driven the cost of its debt to unsustainable levels.


The new administration led by the former European Commissioner Monti must approve a tough austerity package demanded by the European leaders in order to regain the confidence in Italy.


Underlying the pressure on Monti to hurry, the instable markets put the yield of the Italian BTP bonds to 10-year above 7 percent, the level at which Greece and Ireland were forced to be rescued.


Emma Marcegaglia, leader of the Italian employers' Federation told the reporters after meeting with Monti: "We said we would support very much this government."


We believe that this government is the last chance for Italy to get out of this emergency situation.


Monti's chances of success were considerably boosted by the support of the LDP party of Silvio Berlusconi, who was forced to resign on Saturday due to the crisis.


"We believe that the efforts of Professor Monti are destined to have a good outcome," said to the reporters Angelino Alfano, secretary of the center-right party.


The support of the LDP, the largest party in Italy, is significant because until now many of its members had opposed the government majority made of technocrats that Monti is forming.


Parliamentary support


Monti's new government must have a strong parliamentary support for applying the reforms that are likely to be unpopular austerity reforms.


Any blockage or delay in their efforts could lead to a new and devastating attack on the financial markets.


The Italian association of foreign banks added to the pressure by warning that a failure of Monti would be a disaster.


Monti began on Monday his consultations with the political parties, unions and business groups, as well as with youth and women organizations.


He will end his meeting on Tuesday night.


Monti was appointed on Sunday by Napolitano, who has enabled an extremely rapid transition in response to the crisis.


After a brief rest at the end of last week, when it became clear that Berlusconi would resign, the Italian debt costs have now reached critical levels between uncertainties about whether the new prime minister will succeed.


Rescuing Italy with a public debt of 1.8 billion Euros would be too much for the current financial defenses of the euro zone.


Monti has said that his government would last until the next elections scheduled for 2013, despite the widespread predictions that politicians would only give him time to implement the reforms before moving forward with the elections.


Monti said he would like to include politicians in his cabinet, but the major parties insist that it must be made only of technicians, an indication of his objections to a process forced by the financial pressure.


Political sources said that the mutual mistrust and disagreement between the parties are complicating the attempt to include political figures.


The familiarity of the Spanish is higher than that of the Ticos


Of the 22 players called in Spain, ten passed 50 international games.


On the side of Costa Rica only one of 22 called players reached 50 games.


A minor contrast to Costa Rica, comparing the 22 players called by both countries for the friendly game today, at 3:05 pm at the National Stadium in San Jose.


While the world and Europe champions, number one in the monthly top of FIFA, have a long record of Class A inter selection, the Tricolor has only the defender Michael Umana as the only one who has 50 international games.


That number was reached Friday before the game against Panama (0-2), in Rommel Fernandez.


Spanish football players playing in the All-Star League and in powerful clubs of the Premier League of England are during the year very active in league and local cup competitions and there are high-level shocks in the European Cups and Champions League.


To this is added the Spanish Fury experience in complicated qualifications for Euro and World Cup.


The Ticos players, however, have a limited international experience in an area such as CONCACAF, which is considered the lowest level within FIFA


We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches.


Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain.


Xavi Hernandez, the player of Barcelona, has 106 matches.


Casillas and Xavi were recognized last week by UEFA together with the other player of the Iberian team, Zubizarreta with 126 matches and Schalke striker Raul Gonzalez with 102.


Almost near the centennial number is Carles Puyol, with 97 games.


Xabi Alonso follows them with 91, Fernando Torres, with 90, David Villa and Sergio Ramos, both with 81, Andres Iniesta, with 62, Cesc Fabregas, with 61, and David Silva, with 53.


On Costa Rican side, and close to Michael Umana, are the left-lateral Junior Diaz, with 48 matches and the striker Bryan Ruiz, with 45.


After this, only five exceeded the 30 games: Keilor Navas with 31, Randall Azofeifa with 32, Michael Barrantes with 31, Carlos Hernandez with 36 and Jose Luis Lopez with 35.


The least.


More than 30 matches in Spain have Gerard Piqué (37), Sergio Busquets (36), Santiago Santi Cazorla (32), Alvaro Arbeloa (31) and Raul Albiol (31).


On the national side, with less than 30 presences, there are Roy Miller with 26, Winston Parks with 26, Gabriel Badilla with 25 and Roy Myrie with 23.


The rest doesn't come near the 20.


While Nacho Moreal has only four games and Jordi Alba two, in Costa Rica Victor Bolivar has only one Olman Vargas and Nelson Edder did not debut yet.


The leading scorer of Spain is David Villa is, with 50 goals, followed by Fernando Torres with 27.


For Costa Rica, Bryan Ruiz is the one that registers more points, two more than Carlos Hernandez and three more than Roy Myrie and Parks.


Quintet included the country on the tour for celebrating two decades of experience


'Going to Costa Rica is a dream come true'


In an exclusive interview with Viva, the bassist Jeff Ament, of Pearl Jam, said the band is ready to offer one of its best concerts next Sunday at the National Stadium.


There were more than 20 years of wait, but the band says that for the member is also a dream turned into reality playing in the country.


This was stated by the bassist and founding member, Jeff Ament, who spoke exclusively with Viva, from Brazil, last week.


The group is on the South American zone within the tour celebrating two decades of work and Sunday 20th will make its only stop in Central America.


That day they will be present at the National Stadium, starting at 7:30 pm, together with the band of Los Angeles The X and the band of the nationals Las Robertas.


This is an excerpt of the conversation, whose full transcript is online in The Nation.


For your followers from Costa Rica, is a dream come true that Pearl Jam will play in Costa Rica? Are you aware of what your fans are experiencing?


Going to Costa Rica is a dream come true for us too.


This is only our second time in South and Central America and so far has been great.


I've been to Costa Rica only once, on vacation, it is a beautiful country and I think we'll be able to stay a few days there.


So we are excited to bring our music there.


I ask this because there is a kind of devotion to the band; the fans live with intensity the days before the concert.


What do you say to your most fervent followers?


Thank you for staying with us through all these years.


It took us almost 21 years to get to Costa Rica, thanks for waiting so long and we regret that it took us so long to get here.


Some people as regards your concert refer to it as the biggest show of the year.


Does this add a bit of pressure on your visit?


Some of the biggest shows we've played over the past 21 years occurred during the last couple of weeks.


We had a few wonderful shows in Sao Paulo and we hope that this has put us in shape for this concert in Costa Rica.


Really, we are very eager to play there.


We love this country, we love to surf and the jungle, for both things, Costa Rica is one of the best countries in the world.


How did you discover Costa Rica and its waves for surfing?


We have many friends who are surfers and I have a great friend who lives in Tamarindo and the waves here are incredible.


My friends are always going to surf in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, along with Mexico, these are great places to surf, and that's how we learned about, through people who love surfing.


Viewing the tour, one can say that you have been making great shows with lots of songs.


What have you planned for the presentation in Costa Rica?


As we have never played there before, then we have no restrictions on what we can do.


We will try to make the best show possible with a good variety of songs; we will try to play a couple of songs of each album and give our fans a good and diverse repertoire.


You never repeat the repertoire.


How come?


I think it's partly because we have nine discs and we can play more than 120 songs and everyone likes different songs, so it's difficult to choose which songs to play every night.


When we have two or three songs in the repertoire that we have not been playing for a while, this keeps us focused and keeps us surprised because it reminds us the reasons why we liked those songs and that we might have forgotten.


That makes the show more interesting for us and therefore I think it also makes it more interesting for the people.


With this tour, you are celebrating 20 years of experience.


Looking back, is it hard to believe all you have made?


Yes, absolutely.


First, I think none of us could ever imagine we'd be in a rock band and doing this for over 20 years makes it seem like a dream.


We count our blessings and we are very excited that we can continue making music together.


We all love each other and love making music.


We are fortunate to go to places in the world where we always wanted to go.


Things could not be better for us.


What does it mean for you having been a fundamental part of the rise of grunge?


It has always been an honor to be a part of that group of great bands.


We are good friends of the people of Soundgarden, Mudhoney and Alice in Chains.


It's amazing when a movement arises from a group of friends and it is unusual.


From time to time, arises a band of a city, but it is much more strange when five or ten bands come out at the same time from the same city.


We are proud and honored to be part of the Seattle group.


I still play with some of them from time to time.


Last year, we were at a festival with Alice in Chains and we were in Canada with Mudhoney, we saw Soundgarden in its tour, so we are fortunate to be friends with all of them and we are honored to be part of the Seattle sound that aroused.


It is also very strange that a band like yours remains united with the same members for so long.


Yes, four of us were together for 21 years and Matt (Cameron) joined us 13 years ago, which, by itself, is much longer than many bands lasted.


First, I think we are all lucky to be still alive and, secondly, we all care about the others.


We are all very close friends and, thanks to this, there have also been opened musical avenues that give each the freedom to experiment.


We trust each other with the music of each and this could not be better.


Your relationship to the word fame has not been easy; but thanks to your success, you have been able to do whatever you wanted.


How do you find a balance?


As we have grown, it has been easier to find a balance.


We take care of not being too much on tour because it is easy to fall into this game of big crowds and people who love your music.


While one remembers that people are there for the music, that reminds you that you must respect the music and what brought it, without setting your mind on being famous and being a rock star, something that none of us really cares about.


How do you remember your other project Manother Love Bone?


I think we write very good songs and at the beginning was a great thing.


We were a band for almost three years and never released an album until after the death of Andy (Andrew Woods).


There were many frustrations because lasted so long and the most important thing is that we are still close friends of Bruce (Fair-weather) and Greg (Gilmore), who started in the band with us and when I hear a song or see a picture I think of the incredible person that Andy was and how he made me laugh, it was always a pleasure to go to work, laugh, talk about music and football and much more.


It was a remarkable man and we miss him.


The national band Las Robertas will be responsible for opening the show in Costa Rica.


Is it true that you know its work, especially Eddie Vedder, and that's why you chose it for the opening?


Yes, the production sent us several videos proposals and that was the band that we liked most, so we're anxious to see what Las Robertas can offer live and should be very entertaining.


Why do you always change the lyrics of Yellow Ledbetter live?


That is a question for Ed (Eddie Vedder), so I do not know.


He sings it and I think he does this with the first thing that comes to his mind.


As a bassist, what are your influences?


There are so many.


Within the first that come to my mind are Geezer Butler, John Entwistle, C.J. Ramone, John Doe, Paul McCartney, Chuck Dukowski ...


There are so many I could talk all afternoon about the bassists that I love.


How did Pearl Jam succeeded to maintain grunge relevant despite of not being any longer a fad?


I think all of us feel a bit disconnected from the word grunge.


When I think of it, it reminds me of the bands I mentioned before, like Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Nirvana and all that came at the same time, and if it is important now, I think it's wonderful because it is music worth listening to and bands as Mudhoney are making now music better than ever.


At first, your music had a darker content, and now has become more positive.


How do you explain this change?


It's interesting because I think there are a couple of songs on the album that may appear lighter, but there are songs like The End or Just Breathe that are qualified as very dark although they can sound a little positive.


With both, when Ed played them, I cried when I heard them, and these songs are profoundly dark.


I think that when you grow up and there was some trauma in your life and you lost a family member or friend, these things start to influence your art and your music and these two songs certainly represent that for me.


Also, I think you can be a happy person and still be able to make music that is dark.


Peru:


Fujimori was hospitalized again for medical tests


The ex President Alberto Fujimori was hospitalized Tuesday in a public hospital in order to be evaluated for the loss of muscle strength that occurs in the legs, informed his family doctor.


Fujimori, 72 years old, who is sentenced at 25 years in prison for human rights violations committed during his government (1990-2000), suffers from several ailments, including cancer of the tongue for which he has been operated four times and it is kept under control.


The congressman Alejandro Aguinaga, who is his personal physician, told to Canal N of television that Fujimori will be evaluated for three days at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases in order to determine the reason for the pain and the loss of strength in his lower limbs.


Aguinaga said that in his opinion Fujimori would be a candidate for getting the benefit of pardon on humanitarian grounds; however, he said he did not want this because he knows he is innocent.


He had surgery four times for cancer of the tongue, has a weight loss of 18 kilos to which other diseases were added such as severe erosive gastritis, pancreatic cysts, kidney stones, high blood pressure and circulation problems in the legs, listed the doctor.


Fujimori is in prison since September 2007 in the Police National Department of Special Operations.


In April 2009 he was sentenced to 25 years of prison for killing 25 people at the hands of a squad of annihilation of the army that operated clandestinely in the early years of his government.


Mujica travels to Mexico to strengthen political ties


An official delegation headed by the Uruguayan President José Mujica, and composed of several ministers and businessmen, will begin this Tuesday a visit to Mexico in order to expand trade between the two countries and to approach political issues in the region.


Mujica will meet next Wednesday his Mexican equal, Felipe Calderon, the highest point of an extensive agenda of meetings with political, commercial authorities and a meeting with the community of Uruguayans living in Mexico, according to the schedule released by the Uruguayan Presidency.


The meeting between both presidents, in the city of Guadalajara, will be "favorable for the exchange of information as regards the political issues between the two nations," as published the Presidency of the South American country on its website.


According to the local media, Mujica seeks to get Calderon's support for Uruguay in the incident with France that arose when the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, included the South American country on a list of tax havens at the G20 meeting in the French city of Cannes.


In his speech, Sarkozy threatened to exclude from the international community those countries that remain tax havens, a statement that caused the refusal of Uruguay and the call to consultation of its ambassador in the European country.


Mexico presides since November, the G20, a group composed of the world's most powerful developed and emerging countries, and has in effect with the South American country since January this year, an agreement to exchange tax information in order to avoid double taxation.


The Uruguayan government has attempted in recent years to speed up the conclusion of tax exchanging arrangements in order to leave the "gray list" of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), composed of countries that did not implement all international standards of tax cooperation.


On the trade plan, Mexico and Uruguay have in force since 2004 a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that has increased the exchange of goods between both countries.


The mustachioed plumber comes to be three-dimensional with "Super Mario 3D Land"


Super Mario has fought tirelessly for over 25 years to save Princess Peach from the evil clutches of Bowser, but never before he had done this in three dimensions: in "Super Mario 3D Land" he will fight for the love of the girl in stereoscopic technology.


The title, which arrives in the stores around the world this month, has been designed to exploit the features of the potable console Nintendo 3DS, which allows playing in three dimensions without the need of using glasses.


"Mario is the character who has to say how it should work the stereoscopy without glasses," said the press head of Nintendo in Spain, Omar Alvarez, during the presentation of the game in Madrid.


Alvarez said that "Super Mario 3D Land" is "the first video game of Nintendo originally designed for this support," because until now successes like "Star Fox 64 3D" or "Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D" were adaptations of existing titles.


Nintendo spokesman has claimed that, despite being in 3D, "Super Mario 3D Land" is an "accessible" video game which allows enjoying a quick and fluid game.


Alvarez said that "Super Mario 3D Land" contains two games in one: the first part is "simple" to engage less skilled users.


Once pasted, most experts will give a "second round" to the levels of the play, which this time, are more difficult.


In addition, the users can choose in real-time between "D aggressive" or one that only affects the depth of the action, but will need to be played in three dimensions in order to overcome the various challenges and "not to succumb optical illusions."


This incursion of Super Mario in three dimensions represents also the return of the character to a portable console, fact that has not occurred since 2005.


In this game Nintendo winks to the fans of the series and repeats the successful formula of the previous games, the plumber with mustache will have to go through dangerous mined platforms in order to free princess Peach.


Although the player will find new movements, the surroundings, costumes and enemies and also a "playable" Luigi.


Colom guarantees Portillo's extradition to the United States


President Alvaro Colom said on Tuesday that the extradition process of the ex leader Alfonso Portillo has begun in order to respond in the United States of laundering $ 70 million.


Thus ends the process for Guatemala to respond to the request of north country that claimed for Portillo to judge him there.


At a press conference, Colom said that his decision is according to the independence of judiciary and executive powers, taking into account that a trial court had already ordered the extradition.


He stated that during his mandate he did not "put his hands" in judicial decisions and accepted all extradition proceedings he has ever known.


In addition to Portillo, Sergio Ruano Marroquin will be extradited for murder and serious injury, and Edgar Estrada Morales and Victor Estrada Paredes, both for drug traffic.


What's done by Colom represents an executive process after getting exhausted all legal and constitutional courts to prosecute the ex head of state between 2000 and 2004.


In accordance with the resolutions of the Fifth Criminal Court and the Constitutional Court (CC), Portillo will be extradited once resolved his legal situation in Guatemala and guaranteed his human rights.


Portillo was acquitted of embezzlement of Q120 million in the Defense Ministry when he was a president, which was the process that preceded the extradition, but the Public Ministry appealed and reopened the case.


Trinijove has helped 6,000 young people at risk


The entity was created to prevent the fall on the margins of the society of untrained young men


The balance of the first 25 years of life of the social support entity Trinijove is important: 6,000 young people at risk of exclusion have been helped to overcome a difficult situation during this century quarter.


To this there are added over a hundred jobs currently created for this social group.


The anniversary served to make a balance at a ceremony held in the old factory complex Fabra i Coats where attended over 300 people.


Trinijove was born in the neighborhood of Trinitat Vella in 1986 with the aim of helping young people with little education, no job, and drug problems or at risk of falling into marginality.


The yesterday celebration at Sant Andreu gathered a large number of responsible entities and institutions that in these 25 years have collaborated with the association.


The diverse political representation, in the election time, showed the unitary character of the work done by Trinijove.


Next to the president of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, and his predecessor Jordi Pujol, attended the ceremony the ex counselor of Socialist Education, Ernest Maragall, and the ex lieutenant of the mayor and current eco socialist Councilman Ricard Goma.


Also attended at the Fabra i Coats the actual Counselor for Social Welfare and Family, Josep Lluís Cleries and CEO of the social work of La Caixa, Jaume Lanaspa.


He said Trinijove was born in a very difficult time and that the current period is also difficult, but added that the work done so far "is a good base."


The president gave Trinijove as an example for fighting against the bad circumstances and giving hope to people with difficulties.


"The crisis is not new to the entity and the work done by it," he said.


An occupied farm where macro parties were given was evacuated


The invaders had seized 11 of the 13 floors of the building, Balmes, 51


The 12 occupants left the farm at noon yesterday without a fight


It seems that the nightmare lived by the neighbors residing in 51 Balmes Street has come to an end.


Twelve people left voluntarily yesterday at noon the property they were illegally occupying, and where they organized macro parties that exasperated the neighborhood, by court order without police intervention.


When the operation was finished the lock on the door was changed in order to prevent a repeat of the situation.


"From now on there will be an access control," said the manager.


The squatters, who had invaded 11 of the 13 floors of the building, the rest are inhabited- took all the wiring and part of the water, painted the walls and left residues of all kinds, especially alcoholic beverage cans.


The first three floors were the scene of mass parties, which lasted up to two days and exasperated the tenants.


Next to the building there is a nightclub, Balmes 51, which has also been damaged.


The owner, Maria Pantinat told to Europa Press that since the building was occupied her business went down 80%.


The owner of the club says that the invaders of the farm made her an unfair competition, since they were selling drinks for three Euros, while in the club worth 10.


In addition, the owner of the disco had to respond to neighborhood complaints of noise, while, as she noted, the noise was not caused by customers of the club, but by the inhabitants of the squat and, above all, those attending the parties that were organized there, which had increased in frequency and intensity in recent weeks, as the angry neighbors said.


The head of the club said that the discomfort was so great that even reached an agreement with the owner of the property and there are now nine months since she "forgives" him for paying the rent.


The City Police also confirmed that in recent weeks has received more complaints from neighbors about the situation.


The chairman of the PP municipal group, of the council Alberto Fernández Díaz, had claimed last week "to immediately evacuate the building in order to solve the problems of coexistence and community spirit caused to neighbors, and the degradation of the area."


The popular leader explained that before the summer there was only one floor of the building occupied, but over the last few months the squatters had entered into all floors and in almost every floor and that in some of them occurred burglaries.


In this sense, he added that "it is necessary to put an end to impunity and to be strongly against the incivility that has been generated on the farm."


Also yesterday, the members of the police evacuated a building in Nou Barris.


At 15:30 the police went to 35 Montral Street after receiving a call from a neighbor who had noticed that four people had entered the building.


The four were arrested at the time.


Park or mountain?


The architects agree on the opportunity of the call beyond controversies over fees


The municipal contest on the 16 doors reopened the debate on the role of Collserola in Barcelona


In mid 80's at the height of the now extinct Metropolitan Corporation of Barcelona (MCB), this Administration printed promotional leaflets of Collserola.


The booklet defined the mountain as the great park of the metropolitan Barcelona.


Moreover, it was accompanied by a comparison, in figures, with the New York Central Park.


On the death of the MCB, in 1987, the park was placed again in the minds of many, as the upper limit of Barcelona, being the Catalan capital one of the few that is not oriented towards the north-south but up (mountain) -down (sea).


The classification of Collserola as a natural park redounds in this idea.


The reference was not Central Park, but Yellowstone, with the wild boar on the role of Yogi Bear.


This was all about until, in September, the council called for a mega competition composed of 16 contests for as many other doors to Collserola.


A door refers to the idea of the park, no doubt.


Either that or someone wants to put gates to the field.


The question comes alone: Collserola? Park or mountain?


The competition, both as for its merely organizational side as for its reflection on the city is a topic of conversation among all architects of Barcelona.


It's almost a recurrent theme to make use of when two members of this ancient lineage of elected persons recognize themselves in an elevator.


And this fact gives rise precisely to one of the few similarities between what three architects of Barcelona are saying and the academics, which have been presented.


Miguel Roldan, Daniel Modolo and Mara Bayona: the competition is appropriate


For Roland, after approaching the coastline becomes "necessary" to discuss about "the mountain front," whenever Ildefons Cerda's speech, that of green apples has not been carried out.


"It should be assumed that the largest park in Barcelona is the beach.


Among other things, for its great accessibility.


Collserola is more complex," says the architect to whom the title of "gates of Collserola" contains a "lexical trap": we should not think about them "as access to a park, but as the delimitation of some areas where we must act."


Modolo, as Roland and Bayona with experience in the urban world, called the proposal "intellectual challenge" with "some dangers."


Hazards arising from the "uncertainty of projecting the public space" after the experience of the 80"s which had in the Forum area "his swan song."


The first fear is the own delimitation of the borders where to build.


"Limiting something is setting up the next step," meaning, overcoming.


"We must think of new urban planning tools, because the current [in reference to the General Metropolitan Plan (GMP) ] can lead to a real disaster."


Tighter to the question, Modolo believes that simplifying the Collserola valley side "can be understood as a park, Barcelona, not" by a purely topographical issue.


Modolo remembers that there is already a work done by the Board of Collserola that "should not fall on deaf ears," although he is grateful for the opportunity that the city hall offers to his profession to intervene in this project "from the very beginning."


And further, understands that the proximity of the mountain with the city is the pass that allows architects to enter the debate, but "he doubts" about whether this technical profile is the one that should lead multidisciplinary teams ("a success," he points) that have had to create: "The architects should be only a tool."


Bayona suggests that the answer to the question that gives the title of this piece is complex, because the contest rules lack a global view of Collserola: "16 cross contests have been called -he says-on sea- mountain sense, but there is no longitudinal reading, to see and understand the area as a whole."


This leads, at least in this case, to have chosen to participate in the 16 contests.


Otherwise, a project for one of the gates can crash into the program and definition with the project of the architect of the next gate.


In your opinion, the council should ensure that the band immediately above the Ronda de Dalt should provide in its entirety, an area of equipment to conduct a smooth transition between the city and the green.


Casino forgives Jonas Larrazabal and this one will be free


After 72 days of arrangements, the legal representative of the Red Casino forgave the brother of the mayor of Monterrey of the process against him for alleged extortion


After spending 72 days in jail, Manuel Jonas Larrazabal will be free after the legal representative of the Red Casino granted him forgiveness before the Second Criminal Court District, which follows a process of blackmail against the brother of the mayor of Monterrey.


After the bombing of Casino Royale, Red Casino owner, Sergio Gil Garcia, made public a series of photographs and videos where allegedly Manuel Jonas required him to pay an economic fee so that the city hall of Monterrey allows the clandestine operation of the bet house.


After the public condemnation, the State General Attorney opened a criminal case against the mayor's brother and on September 2nd, he was arrested and imprisoned for 30 days.


After four hours before the Agent of the Public Ministry for Heritage Crimes, he was transferred to the Temporary Jail, located in the Old Neighborhood of the state capital.


In this place he remained for 49 days following the pronunciation of a second restriction order after the prosecutor dismissed the crimes of bribery and organized crime.


On October 19th he was transferred to Cadereyta allegedly for blackmailing with a half million of pesos the owners of Red Casino, but he stayed there only a few hours in the medium-security prison because there were death threats against him.


The authorities allowed him to continue the trial in the municipal cells boarding San Nicolas of Garza.


On October 25th he an arrest order was issued by the clerk of Second Criminal District Court, Jorge Yanez, who said that after nearly two months of inquiries there was enough evidence to establish the guilt of Jonas, such as the collection of 1.5 million pesos from the representatives of the bookmaker in exchange for allowing the operation of it.


On Monday, the legal representative of Red Casino, Victor Aldo Garcia Gomez, appeared before the judge José Luis Pecina to seek pardon for the regional mayor's brother, so that in the coming hours he might regain his freedom.


During the legal diligence, the public prosecutor attached to the Court, Ramiro Arias, questioned Garcia Gomez whether he had repaired the damage and which of the partners of the betting house granted pardon, although the lawyer tried to reserve the name.


Based on the record 197/2011 legal pardon is granted to Jonas Larrazabal and thereafter there may not be made any claim about the process that was intended against him; also no damage repair or punishment will be required.


After the hearing of the legal representative of the bookmarkers, at almost 15:50 it was ordered the immediate release of Larrazabal Breton.


The clerk of the court, Jorge Yanez, went to the jail of the municipality of San Nicolas of Garza to notify Jonah that he has been legally pardoned and his record will be filed.


Also he will notify him about the immediate release order issued by the judge.


The Secretary Dionisio Perez Jacome gives details of the crash where the Interior Minister, Francisco Blake, and seven others died.


The Ministry of Communications and Transportation (MCT) reported that the results obtained on the accident in which the Interior Secretary Francisco Blake Mora, and seven others died, indicate that the helicopter hit directly the ground in complete structural integrity, without the pilot attempting a forced landing.


During a press conference, Dionisio Perez Jacome, Minister of Communications and Transport, said that before the aircraft took off, the pilot found that weather conditions were suitable for the flight.


"The elements that seem to indicate that the unit had several contacts with the ground, the blades came into contact with trees at 25 meters where the unit lost the fuselage."


He also reported that the unit was designed for 19 people, so it fulfilled the necessary requirements to transport people.


He also said that the investigations made in the area of impact do not report the appearance of pieces on the ground.


"In a research it is reported that there are no parts or components of the ship in another place, the impact is presented in a structural way.


"The design of the helicopter conceived for 19 passengers, fulfilled the appropriate requirements for transporting passengers.


The land has a slope of seven degrees to 30 degrees.


For now, the secretary said it is a priority to have the results as soon as possible; however, the investigation may take several months or even one year.


Meanwhile, Gilberto Lopez Meyer, general director of Airports and Auxiliary Services, said that at the time of the impact, the Presidential helicopter was operating in cruising speed and that this happened in a soft ascending land.


"This information reinforces the hypothesis of a normal cruise operation at the time of the impact," he said.


At the press conference, the owner of the SCT, Perez Jacome, listed six important elements in the investigation:


Visual flight:


According to the aviation regulations the flight was conducted under visual flight rules, this means that the crew must have visibility during the flight and the ground.


Weather Conditions:


AICM reports were indicating suitable conditions for taking off as the aircraft moved towards the border area between Mexico City and Mexico State there were layers of clouds at low altitudes.


Selected routes:


It is likely that due to cloud conditions the crew has searched an area of lower elevation and greater visibility into the valley of Cuernavaca.


Location of the impact.


The coordinates of the impact and the last record of the aircraft radar match, probably before the impact there was no loss of control or change in the flight direction.


Dispersion of wreckage on a small area:


The information available so far suggests that the impact occurred in a straight and lateral line.


The dispersion of the wreckage suggests that the helicopter struck the ground in conditions of structural integrity.


There was not detected evidence of fire or explosion:


On the area of the accident there remains undisclosed evidence in the wreckage of the craft, some kind of explosion or fire.


Recent research results indicate it may have had multiple contacts with the ground.


During the field work there have been found pieces of the aircraft at an altitude of 9.200 feet above mean sea level, the ground has a slope ranging from seven degrees to 30 degrees.


The pictures show the sequence in which it dismantled along that journey.


The information provides elements that seem to indicate that the helicopter may have had multiple impacts with the ground.


After a thorough research in a wider area than the surrendered off area, near the place the accident took place, there have not been found scattered pieces of the aircraft, which strengthens the assumption that the impact is presented in terms of structural integrity.


MSS announces a protocol for finding obesity gene


Social Security directs a research to find the gene for obesity in children and young people; it is supported by specialists from the IPN


The Mexican Social Security Institute (MSSI) has announced that conducts a research to discover the gene for obesity in children and young people, called the protocol of 'Genetics of obesity in childhood and adolescence', which will provide counting on markers associated with overweight.


In a statement, the head of the Medical Research Unit in Biochemistry of Specialties Hospital, XXI Century National Medical Center, Miguel Cruz Lopez, explained that it was integrated a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, nutritionists and social workers.


The team is supported by specialists and graduate students from the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) and the Centre for Research and Advanced Studies (Cinvestav) National Polytechnic Institute (NPI).


The research invites the population entitled or not, to participate by going to the participant sport units of the MSSI in the Valley of Mexico, where there will be carried out the tests to children, every Saturday from 8:00 o'clock.


He stressed that the protocol started in the Cuauhtémoc sports unit (West Mexico State) and since October 8th, the activity takes place in the Netzahualcoyotl Sport unit (East State of Mexico).


Once reached the goal of bringing 500 to 600 children, the study will continue in the Independence Sport Unit (South the Mexico City) and finally in the Morelos Sports Unit (North the Mexico City).


He explained that the purpose of this research is to understand the components and the importance of genetics in relation to the development of obesity and identify in children and young Mexicans the risk factors for preventing the appearance of chronic degenerative diseases.


On November 14th, there will be celebrated the World Diabetes Day, and the goal is to collect three thousand children and young people between 6 and 14 years, with the consent and parental supervision for the implementation of specific questionnaires on food.


They will also be asked about physical activity and family hereditary history of disease, in order to avoid risk factors that give rise to diseases such as diabetes or kidney failure.


He explained that on Saturday to all participants will be applied anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and waist circumference), blood pressure measurements, and determination of glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol and insulin and genetic (seeking to identify genes that are associated to childhood obesity).


Cruz Lopez said that this research reflects the concern of health professionals for the alarming weight gain in children.


Health Surveys made between 1999 and 2006 reported that in only six years there was an increase in the case of the boys, 77 percent were obese, and 47 percent in the case of the girls; in terms of overweight there was also observed a dramatic rise, "said the specialist of the MSSI.


He said the justification for searching the markers is based on that the population of the country differs from other in its genetic history.


He reported that on average, the Mexican has a 65 percent of American Indian heritage, 30 percent European and five percent African and this condition is reflected in the genes that are associated with diabetes and overweight.


He explained that generally, the genetics of obesity result in the inability to burn off the excess energy that we consume (calories) and which is stored as fat.


The researcher explained that the direct benefit for the participants is a comprehensive assessment of the children, which can detect if they have any degree of overweight or obesity.


Even, he said, the presence of dark-colored folds (acanthuses) on the neck and forearm indicates the likelihood of suffering of metabolic disorders and even prediabetes.


The information is handled with confidentiality, doctors deliver it in writing to the parents, to whom they explain each of the measurements and changes in the lifestyle that have to be undertaken in order to prevent disease.


Cruz Lopez explained that there are three major components that cause overweight, obesity and other chronic diseases: sedentary lifestyle, which is the lack of daily physical activity, staying most of the day and watching TV and using means of transport instead of walking short distances.


Also it is due to the high caloric intake, meaning, and the increased consumption of sugary drinks, carbohydrate (tamales, bread, pizza, hamburger, etc.) with high fat and protein and genetics analyzed in this protocol.


UNAM asphalt would avoid potholes


Rafael Herrera, a researcher at the Faculty of Chemistry of UNAM, develops polymer-modified asphalt to produce a mixture with the best performance, regardless of the environmental conditions and temperature


If the signals sent by the road surface were attended, it would be necessary to repair about 200 thousand potholes every rainy season in the Metropolitan Area of Valley of Mexico, said Rafael Herrera Najera, a researcher at the Chemistry Faculty (CF) of the UNAM, who said that if the process of construction and maintenance of an asphalt pavement is adequate, the potholes could be reduced or even completely eliminated.


In his lecture A technological view of the pothole, issued under the International Year of Chemistry, announced that the laboratory he is responsible for is developing a polymer modified asphalt to produce a mixture with characteristics similar to the asphalt, but with a better mechanical strength, both at high and low temperatures.


Herrera Nájera said that this type of modified asphalt could be used in places where the weather is extremely hot, as some cities in the north, to improve its performance and, therefore, the formation of potholes.


He explained that the asphalt, the heavier oil part is a set of hydrocarbon molecules, some of high molecular weight, called asphaltenes, and other of low molecular weight, called maltenes, which together give the road surface its viscoelastic characteristic behavior.


The viscoelastic behavior of the asphalt consists in the fact that at high temperatures near 180 degrees, it behaves like a liquid at 120° C, its viscosity is very high and at 50 degrees Celsius has a nearly solid state, whereas at very low temperatures the asphalt becomes fragile, he said.


This means that the resistance of the street asphalt is not uniform, but is modified during the day according to the environmental conditions and temperature, said the specialist in chemical engineering.


CF researcher observed that the streets of Mexico City are mostly covered by flexible pavement, which is composed of six layers of material, out of which the last three involve the asphalt.


Among the most superficial layers is the asphalt, composed of small stones dipped into the asphalt and then compacted.


Each of the stones which compose this covering, he said, is dipped with asphalt.


When driving vehicles and generating effort, it allows the forces to spread very well on the pavement.


If it were modified asphalt it would spread even better, said the chemical engineer.


On the asphalt covering, he added, is placed a final layer called rolling covering, which is made of a fine stone material, meaning sand also dipped into the asphalt.


Since this is the layer that will be in contact with the wheels of the vehicle, it must have a better mechanical strength than the asphalt covering and provide road friction.


As being the part of the pavement that will receive and diffuse the efforts, the rolling covering also requires proper thickness and the material it is made of must be take into consideration.


The weather, especially humidity and temperature variations are also a very important factor to consider, especially water, he said, because it greatly affects the performance of the asphalt.


When the ground is wet, water diffuses inside the covering and it's hard to get out, this causing a softening of all layers of the pavement and, therefore, the formation of potholes.


In the formation of a pothole, he said, the first to wear is the rolling covering and only after that is affected the asphalt, but the damage does not happen instantly, it is a process that should be attended at the first signs with appropriate maintenance programs.


Also a member of the National System of Researchers explained that the vehicle load is another important factor in the formation of potholes and, therefore, the thickness of each layer of the pavement should be always made in relation to the vehicle load and ensure this fulfillment, in order to prevent the frequent formation of potholes.


Rafael Herrera said that there is still much to investigate and work to do on the asphalt, for example, asphalt emulsions, which in other countries are already on the market and even help repair potholes with easiness and without using high temperatures.


What did the candidate of Valley lack to be the new Miss Colombia?


Analysis of the factors that affected Serna Melina Ramirez for not getting the crown of Miss Colombia.


The Valley gets its title number 14 of princess.


Once again Cauca Valley remains with the desire of the crown of Miss Colombia.


This time Melina Ramirez Serna had to be content with being on the winning podium, wearing the silver crown and the band that accredited her as the new princess of Colombia.


With the result obtained last night in Cartagena, where Miss Atlantic won the crown and scepter, the department counts with 14 Princess titles and Melina joins the legion of women of Valley of Cauca who have been close to the crown but were proclaimed princesses, among them Miriam Ospina Benoit (1947), Clara Borrero Dominguez (1949), Patricia Bellini Ayala (1979), Lorena Álvarez (1981), Rose Mary Alzate (1983), Olga Maria Arenas (1987), Leila Blanque (1988), Monica Evers (1989), Maria Consuela Pinedo (1990), Diana Isabel Romero (1993), Giselle Aljure Garcés (2000), Catalina Giraldo (2007), Stephanie Garcés Aljure (2008).


Now the big question many are asking is:


What was missing? Because the result is the defeat of a big favorite who in each performance showed that she had everything to be the new Miss Colombia, not in vain she was elected Queen of the Police and Best Jolie Face of Vogue, titles that were obtained by queens as Taliana Vargas or Natalia Navarro, who took the crown of Miss Colombia.


The first key factor in the decision of the jury to designate her as First Princess is that she did not convince with her answer to the question" 'What is the book that has marked you and why? Asked by Martin Murillo Gomez from the Literary Cart Let's read.


To the questioner she answered


"I read a lot, I believe a lot in literature, I think it is a form of culturalization, and I definitely think that the book that marked my childhood is "The little Prince' is a pretty deep book.


Today I read "Crime and Punishment' it is a book of universal literature that we all should read; and now I'm reading the book by Irene Nemirovski, a Russian, a beautiful book called "The heat of blood.'


A response that the jury did not like due to the term "culturalization' and second of all for not specifically explaining how each of the cited books have marked her.


But after the ceremony Melina said she was calm and happy with the result "the universe is wise it happens what it has to happen."


And for you all, please read a little bit, 'The Little Prince' it is a great book "


Among the launched hypotheses it is said that Valley got burned by favoritism.


A reporter from Bogota suggested that for being the preferred, the acclaimed, and the candidate who received all preliminary awards (Oster food challenge, the public vote for the best traditional costume, and Mother Queen), "that aroused the jealousy of the other candidates, stressed the queen and therefore she did not shine on stage.


And that was noted in her first appearance in swimsuit on the beach of Hilton and during her two shows at the evening coronation.


Although in both she looked confident, it was noted that she lacked the strength and energy that Magdalena and Atlántico representatives did show.


Ariel Osorio, a journalist of the program "Like home', of the RCN channel said that the fact that Melina was designated as princess "means that the candidate who more awards wins during the competition is not the queen."


In addition, Valley lately avoided talking to the press, and that was wrong.


Another hypothesis is that Valley failed to convince the jury about her interest in social work, which is ultimately the essence of the National Beauty Contest.


This is why, two days before the election the international jury Lucy Doughty said they were seeking a woman committed to the social needs of her country.


"Beauty is not enough for a Miss Colombia, we must look beyond the physical appearance and focus on social awareness, before entering the contest they must be already involved in projects," she said.


There is also a speculation that Valley sinned for her defects on the posterior and the fibrosis that could be seen on her abdomen, but it is contradictory because the jury specifically chose her as the candidate 'natural beauty' with the healthier body, good nutrition and responsible physical work.


The coach of the queens Jorge Hernán Orozco recognizes that Melina did not have the best body, that there were better, "but the problem of fibrosis on the abdomen, which for me was not very noticeable, made her lose points the last day."


Meanwhile, the journalist Guido Hoyos, of Cromos magazine considers that the error of the Valley of Cauca were the surgical interventions she suffered.


"The surgeries are fine, but Valley did not know how to do them.


Her body was never her strong advantage and here is where she was punished.


For this award, which for the first time is given by the National Beauty Contest, after the swimsuit parade a cruel prophecy was fulfilled last night, it was said that this was the flicker that Raymundo granted to Melina for not giving her the pleasure of taking the crown.


Reality or not, the fact is that Melina today begins a year of reign, not as sovereign, but as a princess, a position that gives her the opportunity to represent Colombia in one of the international competitions designated by the National Competition itself.


However, she will go down in history as one of the queens that despite her overwhelming passage through Cartagena, found difficulties in getting the crown.


Such was the work of the person who identified the body of Alfonso Cano


A Cali lophoscopist entered into history as the man who confirmed the death of "Alfonso Cano.


The work of these officials is a key work.


On November 4th the lophoscopist of Cali CTI passed into history as the man who confirmed the identity of the FARC top leader, "Alfonso Cano, through the comparison of his fingerprints.


Of the seven lophoscopists working in the branch of CTI, this week it was the turn of "availability' for Eleazar Gonzalez, a man of Puerto Tejada, who had spent 21 years working in the area of judicial investigation.


At the beginning of his career, Gonzalez worked in municipalities of Chocó, where he often had to go for more than five days in the jungle to reach the place where there were the bodies that should be identified.


In 2000 he moved to the capital of the Valley and, after making the corresponding courses, he specialized in lophoscopy, which is the study of skin friction, meaning the palms of the hands and feet.


The week of Eliazar's operation against alias Alfonso Cano he was warned to take clothes only for three days.


Something big was coming.


On Friday night he went from Cauca with a helicopter, to Palmira.


He knew he had to identify two corpses and one was suspected to be of the man who led the world's oldest guerrilla, so they asked him to take the ten print card of Guillermo León Sáenz (his real name).


However, when he arrived with the research team to the site where the body was, he did not recognize him by his physical appearance; it was very different from that seen in the media.


He was without beard, dressed as a farmer of the area, without glasses and much thinner.


But the prints do not lie.


Accompanied by a Galtonian magnifying glass, ink, a paddle and a flashlight, Eliazar compared the fingerprints of the corpse with those of the card.


His eye did not fail him: it was "Alfonso Cano'.


That same night, the man from Puerto Tejada was asked to confirm the defense minister, Juan Carlos Pinzón, that it was the top leader of the FARC.


In search of the fingerprint


For a fingerprint specialist from Sijin of Cali the recognition made by the President Juan Manuel Santos to Eleazar Gonzalez in the press conference for the operation against "Cano', is very significant.


Many people do not know our work.


The fingerprinting science is an exact science, without error, which can be key solution in solving crimes.


Apart from the identification of bodies, the fingerprinting specialists support research for crimes like theft and murder and confirm the identity of those captured.


When captured, many criminals have fake cards or do not have papers.


We will take their fingerprint and seek them in the database.


The researcher said that, in a case of theft, he had to remove a piece of the wall of a house because in that place the thief had supported his hand on to take a safe full of jewels and money.


"The walls are difficult because they are not suitable surfaces to get a print, but in this case we could get the print of the whole hand and identify the offender, who had participated in several robberies" he said.


The prints can also rule out or confirm suspects in murder cases.


They have recently found a dead man, with liquor bottles around him.


Through the investigation it was determined that a relative could be suspected of the crime and, indeed, a print on the bottle matched.


Although this does not guarantee that it was the murderer, it places him it in the murder scene.


A fingerprint expert of CTI explained that in objects "footprints are drawn with chemical or physical reagents."


When they appear there is used a paddle or tape to lift them.


After that, the prints are sent to Asif, which is the criminal database, or at the Registry.


"The problem is that there are still many undocumented Colombians," said CTI expert.


He clarified that not everything is as shown in CSI television program.


Just as not everything that glitters is gold, not everything you touch turns into a footprint.


However, if it can be used, the comparison is being made.


The "angry persons" challenge the authorities in New York


Hundreds of protesters were crowding round in front of Zuccotti square to camp.


A part of the protesters listened to the eviction order and moved to a nearby park.


The members of the movement Occupy Wall Street challenged on Tuesday the authorities of New York when trying to enter again, under the protection of a court order, in the Manhattan Square where they were evacuated at dawn when trying to occupy another park of the Big Apple.


Hundreds of protesters crowded round the Zuccotti square, where they wanted to get in thanks to a court order that allows "the angry persons" to camp on the site, while another part of the movement responded to the eviction by occupying a park north the city where there have been made further arrests.


"Our idea is that if the court does not allow us to return to camp in the square, we will camp somewhere else and continue the legal battle to return to Zuccotti, and through peaceful sit-ins and demonstrations," said one of the spokesmen of the movement "Occupy Wall Street," Mark Bray.


Bray explained that the response of the "angry persons" to the evacuation of the camp issued personally by the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, came to court, where Judge Lucy Billings issued an order prohibiting the forced evacuation of the place and allowing the demonstrators to remain camped.


In addition, the "angry persons" proceeded to the occupation of a new park located at the confluence of the downtown Canal Street and Sixth Avenue, near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel, which connects New York and New Jersey, owned by the parish of Trinity Church.


At least for one hour they were able to occupy the place, but then the police came and proceeded to arrest some of the protesters, although Bray could not confirm the precise number, while telling Efe that he saw several journalists who were also handcuffed.
