http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/new-music-by-jenni-rivera-goes-on-sale-tomorrow/31457#When:04:52:29Z <p>The voice of the late Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera will be heard once more on a new disc, to go on sale Nov. 17 under the title “1 Vida - 3 Historias,” her record label Universal Music Latin Entertainment announced.</p> <p>The record company offered no further details about the production, but Rosie Rivera, the singer’s sister, said last October on her Instagram account that the disc will feature songs recorded during a concert Jenni Rivera gave in Culiacan, Mexico. </p><p>The singer known as the “diva of the band” died in an airplane crash along with another six people in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, on Dec. 9, 2012, hours after giving her last concert in the city of Monterrey.</p> <p>A year after her death, the family of the Mexican regional music artist launched “1969-Siempre, en Vivo desde Monterrey,” a live recording in two parts of the singer’s repertoire during that last performance.</p> <p>Both discs were hits in sales and made first place on Billboard magazine’s Top Latin Albums list. </p> <p><em>Published in <a

Abarca Velazquez, who has been linked to the disappearance of 43 education students in September, will remain in custody and face a criminal trial, Mexican judicial officials said.</p> <p>A federal criminal court in Toluca, a city in Mexico state, will try Abarca on organized crime, kidnapping and murder charges, the Federal Judiciary Council, or CJF, said. </p><p>The court issued the order as part of proceedings initiated by a court in Matamoros, a border city in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas.</p> <p>Abarca is being held at the Altiplano federal penitentiary in Mexico state, which surrounds the Federal District and forms part of the Mexico City metropolitan area.</p> <p>Abarca served as mayor of Iguala, a city in the southern state of Guerrero.</p> <p>The politician and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda Villa, were arrested by the Federal Police on Nov. 4 in Mexico City.</p> <p>Pineda is being held in preventive detention so prosecutors can gather more evidence in the case.</p> <p>The couple fled from their house on Sept. 30, four days after Iguala municipal police officers opened fire on students from a rural teachers college.</p> <p>Six people died, 25 were wounded and 43 students disappeared in the incident.</p> <p>The 43 students, the majority of them ages 18 to 21, were detained by police and handed over to the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel, which killed them and burned the bodies to eliminate all traces of the victims, officials said, citing statements by suspects in the case.</p> <p>The students’ disappearance has sparked protests across Mexico. </p> <p><em>Published in <a href="http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news">Latino Daily News</a></em></p><div class="feedflare"> <a

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HSN-Global-Feed/~3/GAznjlZ_8J0/31454 http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/dr.-atl-father-of-mexican-muralism-honored-in-jalisco/31454#When:22:34:53Z <p>The work of painter and writer Dr. Atl, considered the ideologue of Mexican Muralism and teacher of Diego Rivera, is the focus of the “Cosmic Rotation” exhibition in the western Mexican state of Jalisco, commemorating the 50th anniversary of his death.</p> <p>Dr. Atl, whose real name was Gerardo Murillo Cornado (1875-1964), is considered of great importance to 20th-century Mexico, not only for his artistic work that includes both the plastic arts and literature, but also for his political and social influence, Carlos Ashida, curator of the exhibition that will remain open until next February, told Efe.</p> <p>“He had a very particular ideological and philosophic position, and was among the first to make contact with the European avant-garde at the beginning of the century and knew how to adapt it to Mexico,” he said.</p> <p>The exhibition, presented at the Cabañas Institute in Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco, is composed of paintings, drawings, photos and documents from such Mexican organizations as the National Institute of Fine Arts, the Tlatelolco Cultural Center and the Alfredo Zalce Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as from private collections.</p> <p>In 1897 on an ocean liner to Europe he changed his name to “Atl,” which in the Nahuatl language means water, and some time later his Argentine poet friend Leopoldo Lugones added the “Dr.,” justified by the Mexican’s doctor of philosophy degree.</p> <p>In Europe he studied such eminences of thought and literature as Marxism theoretician Antonio Labriola, sociologist Emile Durkheim, and Henri Bergson, Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927.</p> <p>Winner of a silver medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris for a self-portrait, he was deeply influenced by the great artists of Fauvism and Impressionism.</p> <p>The innovative ideas acquired by this learning experience together with his rebellious character left a mark on the young painters who gathered around him at San Carlos Academy in Mexico City, where he was hired as a restorer.</p> <p>Among them were David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jose Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera.</p> <p>“He comes to Mexico after living a life that none of them have experienced, but that afterwards he urges them to experience themselves. And his charismatic character, eloquent and impulsive, influenced the artists to organize a society that many consider the origin of Muralism,” Ashida said.</p> <p>He said that this trend was not born of the Mexican Revolution, but had as its antecedents the mural that Dr. Atl painted in the auditorium of the National Preparatory School as well as the great exposition of 1910.</p> <p>For the latter occasion, Murillo called on the young artists to counteract the exhibition that then-President Porfirio Diaz had organized with Spanish painters to commemorate the centenary of Mexican independence.</p> <p>His curiosity led him to create “Atl colors,” a mixture of resin, wax and oil, and the aerial landscape, which consisted of capturing the image of a place from above.</p> <p>It also led him to conceive what he called “Olinka” (a Nahuatl term for the place movement is created), a Utopia where artists, scientists, poets and philosophers from around the world would come together to plan human evolution, a project that never came into being.</p> <p>A faithful believer in revolution, his work is little known outside of Mexico due to “certain mistakes,” such as declaring himself a fascist and publicly supporting Adolf Hitler.</p> <p>“Some people will never forgive him, though his work has the stature of the great ones,” Ashida said. </p> <p><em>Published in

claimed that the government had not alerted him to the risks that his work on the Communist-ruled island entailed.</p> <p>But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Friday upheld a lower court’s finding that the government has sovereign immunity because the damage the plaintiff suffered occurred outside the United States.</p> <p>Gross and his wife, Judy, filed the $60 million lawsuit in November 2010, accusing the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Bethesda, Maryland-based contractor he worked for, Development Alternatives Inc., of negligence.</p> <p>In the lawsuit, they alleged that neither DAI nor the government warned him of the risks of the Cuba mission and refused to pull him out after he expressed concerns.</p> <p>The couple reached a settlement with DAI in 2013 for an undisclosed sum but a U.S. district court threw out their suit against USAID, prompting them to bring the case to the appeals court in Washington.</p> <p>USAID contracted Maryland-based DAI for a project to expand Internet access and the flow of information in Cuba.</p> <p>DAI hired Gross to travel to the island, where he was detained in December 2009 with satellite communications equipment he was planning to distribute among Cuba’s Jewish community.</p> <p>Cuban authorities said Gross was illegally aiding dissidents and inciting subversion. He was eventually convicted and sentenced to 15 years.</p> <p>Havana has suggested an exchange of Gross for three Cuban intelligence agents serving time in U.S. prisons.</p> <p>The United States rejects talk of a prisoner swap, instead demanding that Cuba release Gross without conditions. </p> <p><em>Published in <a href="http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news">Latino Daily

Asylum in U.S. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HSN-Global-Feed/~3/zrhHNaWH3k4/31452 http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/minors-from-central-america-can-now-apply-for-asylum-in-u.s/31452#When:18:26:47Z <p>The U.S. government will now allow minors in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras who have a relative living legally in the United States to apply for asylum or a residency permit at offices in their own country, Vice President Joe Biden said Friday.</p> <p>The program, which begins in December, “will provide a safe, legal, and orderly alternative to the dangerous journey that some children make - and some children don’t ever arrive, don’t ever make,” the vice president said at a conference attended by the presidents of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador in Washington. </p><p>Parents in the United States will kick off the process by filling out an application form for their child - who must be younger than age 21 and unmarried - requesting that he or she be granted an interview at a U.S. office in El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras, the State Department said.</p> <p>The State Department stressed that the applications will be studied case by case.</p> <p>Nonetheless, children who do not comply with the requisites for refugee status, but are in danger of being harmed if they stay where they are, will be considered for a special residency permit on humanitarian grounds.</p> <p>The permit for humanitarian asylum allows a temporary entry into the United States for urgent humanitarian reasons but does not grant long-term immigration benefits.</p> <p>In addition, if the spouse of a person living legally in the United States continues to dwell in their country of origin, “under certain circumstances” they can be included in the minor’s application for refugee status.</p> <p>Once the family member fills out the form in the United States, the minors will be interviewed in their country of origin to make sure they comply with security regulations, have an up-to-date medical report, and must undergo DNA tests to verify that children and parents are related.</p> <p>The United States “provides those seeking asylum a right way to come to our country, as opposed to crossing the border illegally,” Vice President Biden said. </p> <p><em>Published in <a href="http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news">Latino Daily News</a></em></p><div class="feedflare"> <a

<p>Two beaked whales that had become stranded on Puerto Rico’s northwest coast were rescued and returned to sea, although authorities had to euthanize a third whale that could not be rehabilitated.</p> <p>The whales were spotted Thursday by fishermen just off the coast of the northwestern city of Aguadilla, the secretary of Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, or DRNA, Carmen Guerrero Perez, said Friday in a statement. </p><p>One of the adult whales swam back to sea under its own power, while the second, a female, was assisted by DRNA personnel, Grisel Rodriguez, a biologist and coordinator of the Marine Mammals Rescue Program, said.</p> <p>The third whale, a calf that was less than a year old, was rescued and taken to the Dr. Juan A. Rivero Zoo, which is overseen by the U.S. commonwealth’s National Parks Company.</p> <p>The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. agency responsible for decisions on marine mammals in U.S. territorial waters, determined that the whale should be euthanized to prevent it from suffering.</p> <p>The autopsy on the animal showed that the calf still depended on its mother for nourishment and could not have been rehabilitated, Rodriguez said, noting that artificial nursing of this species is impossible due to its bodily composition.</p> <p>“In our waters, it is more common to see pilot whales and other cetaceans. Among cetaceans, the type that most frequently becomes beached is the bottlenose dolphin,” Guerrero Perez said. </p> <p><em>Published in <a

and Mexican multi-billionaire Carlos Slim announced here an alliance aimed at ridding the Americas of onchocerciasis, commonly known as river blindness.</p> <p>“This unique contribution from Carlos Slim further demonstrates Mexico’s global health leadership and the overall spirit of international commitment to ensure that all people in Latin America can enjoy the river blindness success we celebrate today in Mexico,” Carter said.</p> <p>The former president’s Carter Center has been addressing the problem through the Onchocerciasis Elimination Program for the Americas, or OEPA.</p> <p>The OEPA initiative began with six countries: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Venezuela.</p> <p>Mexico recently declared victory in stopping the spread of river blindness, joining Colombia, Ecuador and Guatemala.</p> <p>The Carlos Slim Foundation will cooperate with the Carter Center through OEPA to assist Brazil and Venezuela in eliminating the Americas’ last remaining redoubts of river blindness in the Amazon rain forest.</p> <p>“We are proud to join The Carter Center in its partnership with affected countries to stop the scourge of this dreaded disease once and for all,” Slim said.</p> <p>The World Health Organization has designated river blindness as one of 17 Neglected Tropical Diseases.</p> <p>The illness is caused by a worm parasite transmitted through the bites of flies that breed along river banks.</p> <p>Besides leading to eye problems, up to and including blindness, the disease can cause skin discoloration and disfigurement.</p> <p>“Due to the dedication of the six ministries of health and thousands of community-based health workers, today the population at risk for river blindness in the Americas has been reduced by more than 95 percent,” the Carter Center said in a statement.</p> <p>Carter and Mexican Health Secretary Mercedes Juan were set Friday to inaugurate the Inter-American Conference on Onchocerciasis. </p> <p><em>Published in

year, when the Canadian performer was on tour here, court officials said.</p> <p>Judge Facundo Cubas issued an order to the Interpol department within the Argentine Federal Police to locate the artist and one of his bodyguards and notify them that they must appear in court to give statements. </p><p>According to court sources cited by the official Telam news agency, the judge warned that if Bieber does not show up to testify within 60 days after being notified, he will order his arrest.</p> <p>Bieber, 20, and one of his bodyguards were cited in incidents at the Ink disco in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo on Nov. 9, 2013, where the singer and his friends were partying.</p> <p>Among other things, the pair are accused of allegedly attacking a photographer and stealing his camera and then leaving the disco without paying their tab.</p> <p>Argentine photographer Diego Pesoa claims Bieber’s bodyguards chased him and beat him up outside the nightspot.</p> <p>Bieber could spend up to a year in prison if convicted of causing minor injuries to the man.</p> <p>According to the summons, the singer had ordered his bodyguards to prevent him from being photographed when he left the establishment.</p> <p>The judge’s ruling asks Interpol to locate the artist and his bodyguard at their homes, at the site of a scheduled event or anywhere else and present the summons to them. </p>

http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/cuba-expecting-200-more-cruise-ships-during-upcoming-winter-season/31447#When:02:41:01Z <p>Cuba is expecting the arrival of more than 200 cruise ships at various ports on the island during the winter season, which will kick off this month and last until April 2015, tourist sector authorities said Thursday.</p> <p>The season will officially begin on Nov. 21 with the arrival in the port of Havana of about 2,000 cruise ship passengers, most of them from Europe, according to data provided by the Cubatur travel agency and reported on Cuban television. </p><p>The state-run agency, which will book more than 75 percent of the cruise ships that arrive during the season, added that among the ports with the most passenger entries are Havana, Cienfuegos in the central part of the island and Santiago de Cuba in the east.</p> <p>Cruise ship tourism is one of the main areas in which Cuba is trying to diversify its tourist offerings, along with cultural, nature, health, coastal and golf tours.</p> <p>Cruise ship arrivals to the island plummeted by 89 percent starting in 2006, the year in which Spanish firm Pullmantur shut down its operations in Cuba after being acquired by Royal Caribbean Cruises, a U.S. company.</p> <p>The sector remained virtually comatose over the next few years but in 2009 it began to perk up and in 2010 it experienced a new surge in activity with the arrival of some 10,000 cruise passengers.</p> <p>In recent years, the Cuban government has established stable operations with international companies to rejuvenate the sector.</p> <p>Tourism is the second-biggest economic activity in Cuba, after the export of technical and professional services.</p> <p>In 2013, the island welcomed about 2.85 million foreign tourists, with Canada being the main sending nation, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. </p> <p><em>Published in <a

Expected to Benefit from Executive Action http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HSN-Global-Feed/~3/my1LFouC664/31446 http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/report-5-million-undocumented-immigrants-expected-to-benefit-from-executive/31446#When:00:38:57Z <p>U.S. President Barack Obama plans to announce next week a package of executive measures that will protect some five million undocumented immigrants from deportation, The New York Times reported Thursday.</p> <p>The influential daily is the second media outlet to report that Obama will make an announcement on immigration next week, with the conservative Fox news network having come out with such a report on Wednesday. </p><p>The New York Times cites unidentified government officials “with direct knowledge” of Obama’s plans as the sources for the story.</p> <p>The president is currently on a tour of Asia and Australia and will not return to Washington until Sunday.</p> <p>The daily said that a “key” part of Obama’s plan is to allow many parents of children who are U.S. citizens or legal residents to obtain work permits and thus avoid being deported.</p> <p>That part of the plan could affect between 2.5 million and 3.3 million people, depending on how long they have been in the country - either 5 or 10 years - which are set as the prerequisites for the potential beneficiaries.</p> <p>The president is evaluating increasing the scope of the protection that already exists for undocumented youths who arrived in the United States when they were children and also extending it to their parents, which would benefit more than 1 million immigrants.</p> <p>According to the Times, the “details” of the executive measures still have not been finalized and Obama’s announcement could be delayed until December, but not beyond the end of the year.</p> <p>Fox, which cited officials close to the White House, on Wednesday reported that Obama will make the announcement next week and said that his executive action measures will include suspending millions of pending deportations.</p> <p>When consulted by Efe, a White House spokesman said that “the president has not yet made a decision about the measures to adjust the immigration system.”</p> <p>“In fact, he still has not received the final recommendations from the Department of Homeland Security,” the spokesman added.</p> <p>White House press secretary Josh Earnest, who is accompanying Obama on his foreign tour, told reporters that the president will “soon” receive the “final recommendations” from Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.</p> <p>Obama has previously said he would announce these measures before the end of the summer but then he backtracked and decided not to make the announcement until after the midterm elections so as not to harm the chances of Democratic candidates in key states, the White House said. </p> <p><em>Published in <a

Black-Market Dollar http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HSN-Global-Feed/~3/SN-zZhNCJoM/31445 http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/crack-down-in-argentina-on-black-market-dollar/31445#When:22:33:29Z <p>Raids by tax officials in downtown Buenos Aires and elsewhere in Argentina and a battery of measures by the new Central Bank leadership are being used in a crackdown on black-market dollar exchanges and sophisticated capital-flight mechanisms.</p> <p>An informal market for dollars began flourishing in late 2011, when President Cristina Fernandez’s administration - concerned about a drop in international reserves - began making it more difficult to access the greenback through legal channels.</p> <p>A currency devaluation in January then caused the price of the dollar on the black market to surge this year.</p> <p>The price of the so-called “blue dollar” touched a high of 15.95 pesos per greenback in late September, although it had dropped to 12.60 pesos on Monday.</p> <p>That pullback was due in part to a shakeup at the Central Bank, which has been led since October by Alejandro Vanoli, former head of Argentina’s CNV securities regulator.</p> <p>Under Vanoli’s leadership, the monetary authority has fought a decline in Central Bank reserves by limiting advance payments for imports and establishing more controls on the repatriation of foreign direct investment.</p> <p>It also has put a halt to so-called “blue-chip swaps,” a loophole whereby large companies such as banks and exporters bought dollar-denominated sovereign bonds in pesos and transferred them abroad to exchange for dollars.</p> <p>These measures have contributed to a lower demand for dollars and pushed the price down.</p> <p>The Central Bank also has launched a crackdown on “cuevas” (caves), illegal currency-exchange offices; and “arbolitos,” individuals who sell dollars illegally on the street; as well as banks and other financial institutions, stock brokers and currency houses.</p> <p>The CNV and tax authorities also have participated in these raids in Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities.</p> <p>The “arbolitos” disappeared from the streets and the “cuevas” pulled down their shutters, resulting in a supply shortage that caused the price of the blue dollar to climb back up to 13.68 pesos per greenback.</p> <p>Despite that temporary rebound, experts expect the value of the black-market dollar will keep falling and predict the gap between the blue dollar and the official dollar - whose price is set at 8.5 pesos per greenback - will continue to narrow after widening to as much as 90 percent.</p> <p>The Central Bank, meanwhile, said in a recent report that the positive expectations over a recent reserves-boosting currency-swap accord with China, among other factors, have helped shrink the black market for dollars. </p>

America http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HSN-Global-Feed/~3/qXyDKcn-HSw/31444 http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/catholic-church-losing-followers-to-protestant-faith-in-latin-america/31444#When:20:30:41Z <p>Catholicism continues to lose believers to Protestantism in Latin America despite the fact that the current pope comes from the region, although there are still 425 million Catholics there, almost 40 percent of the world total.</p> <p>According to a survey released today by the Washington-based Pew Research Center, 69 percent of the adults in the region say they are Catholic, compared with 90 percent who said the same thing for most of the 20th century. </p><p>n the United States, 24 percent of Hispanic adults were brought up Catholic but have abandoned the church.</p> <p>Just 2 percent of U.S. Hispanics converted to Catholicism after being raised in another religious tradition or without any religious affiliation.</p> <p>As occurs in Latin America, many U.S. Latinos have left Catholicism and affiliated themselves with Protestant churches, and now they make up 22 percent of U.S. Hispanics, compared with 19 percent in Latin America.</p> <p>Meanwhile, 18 percent of Hispanics in the United States describe themselves as atheist or have no religious affiliation.</p> <p>The downward trend in the number of Catholics has not slowed, despite the fact that the pontiff, Pope Francis, is from Argentina.</p> <p>The study, which surveyed 30,000 people in 19 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, found that two-thirds of the population in the region has a positive opinion of the pope, and in 14 of the 19 countries at least half the Catholics said that they have a “very favorable” opinion of Francis.</p> <p>“While it is too soon to know whether Francis can stop or reverse the church’s losses in the region, the new survey finds that people who are currently Catholic overwhelmingly view Francis favorably and consider his papacy a major change for the church,” the study said.</p> <p>However, former Catholics are more skeptical.</p> <p>In 84 percent of those cases, Latin Americans said that they were raised in the Catholic faith, which is 15 percentage points higher than the number who currently say they are Catholic.</p> <p>Given this situation, there has been an increase in the numbers of Protestants and those who say they do not identity with any religion, the survey found.</p> <p>Although less than one in 10 Latin Americans (9 percent) said they had been raised Protestant, currently almost one in five (19 percent) identify themselves with evangelical Protestant churches.</p> <p>The main reason the survey found for people to have left the Catholic Church for Protestant churches was that they were seeking a more direct connection with God, according to the public opinion study.</p> <p>The study said that Protestants in Latin America, just as in other parts of the world, belong to a diverse group of denominations and independent churches.</p> <p>Four percent of those surveyed said they were not raised in any religious faith and 8 percent said that they do not follow any religion. </p> <p><em>Published in <a

billion pesos ($135 million) in personal loans since lending to individuals began in December 2011, Communist Party daily Granma said Thursday.</p> <p>The total of borrowers stood at 378,011 as of Sept. 30, Granma said, citing bank Vice President Francisco Mayobre. </p><p>President Raul Castro’s administration authorized lending to individuals as part of a package of reforms aimed at “modernizing” Cuba’s socialist economic model.</p> <p>Most of the borrowers have been people wanting to build or renovate homes and small farmers, Mayobre said, acknowledging that borrowing by would-be entrepreneurs to start businesses has fallen short of expectations.</p> <p>“Surveys have been done and it has become clear that self-employed workers have a lot of doubts and dissatisfaction about the work of the banks,” he said.</p> <p>The central bank said it has taken steps to make the process more flexible for borrowers, such as simplifying requirements for documentation and repayment guarantees and introducing variable interest rates and terms.</p> <p>The bank is struggling to meet demand for services and may open new branches in Havana and provincial capitals, Mayobre said. </p>

United States fell 39 percent between the end of Fiscal Year 2012 and 2014, according to data compiled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and included in a study published Wednesday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, research center.</p> <p>In the 18 months between October 2012 and March 2014, ICE detained about 9,000 people per month. </p><p>The results are based on the number of detentions as per ICE detention orders obtained by TRAC, which is affiliated with Syracuse University, under the Freedom of Information Act.</p> <p>TRAC reported during fiscal 2012 that ICE issued more than 250,000 detention orders, an average of more than 22,800 per month.</p> <p>This average number was reduced to an average of 17,777 during fiscal 2013, the study found, adding that the data also cover the subsequent five-month period ending last March during which an average of 13,898 detentions were made each month.</p> <p>The states with the largest numbers of detentions were California and Texas, and they experienced reductions of 55 percent and 28 percent, respectively, the report added, emphasizing that 42 percent of the detention orders issued by ICE during the period were for people located in those two states. </p> <p><em>Published in <a href="http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news">Latino Daily News</a></em></p><div

http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/protests-continue-in-mexico-over-missing-43-student-teachers/31440#When:12:10:14Z <p>Hundreds of students blocked access to the airport in this city, the capital of the state of Michoacan, to protest the disappearance of 43 teaching students on Sept. 26 in Iguala while another group of young people raided and trashed the offices of the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.</p> <p>Students from at least eight teaching schools blocked the main entrance to the airport, located in the town of Alvaro Obregon, forcing airport personnel to enter the facility by way of the hanger zone, airport officials said. </p><p>The young people arrived at the airport shortly before midday in buses that they had taken over by force on the 21st Century Highway, which links Morelia with the Pacific coast.</p> <p>So far, the demonstration has not resulted in the suspension of any flights, officials in the office of Michoacan commissioner Alfredo Castillo told Efe.</p> <p>Besides blocking access to the airport, the students also took over several tollbooths and announced that on Thursday they will occupy 113 city halls in Michoacan, where they will place photos of the 43 missing students.</p> <p>Meanwhile, about 70 young people arrived at the local PRI headquarters in three buses, threw stones and other objects at the windows and then entered the offices where they destroyed the furniture, computers and televisions.</p> <p>They also wrote slogans on the walls including “Complete support for Ayotzi,” “They were taken away alive, we want them back alive,” “We’re not all here, 43 are missing” and “Out with bad government.”</p> <p>The PRI personnel were able to leave the offices before the attack and no injuries were reported.</p> <p>The Morelia offices of the conservative National Action Party, or PAN, and the minority New Alliance were destroyed by student protesters on Tuesday.</p> <p>Demonstrations were also staged Wednesday in the southern state of Oaxaca, where students blocked tollbooths and government offices.</p> <p>The disappearance of the 43 teaching students has sparked many demonstrations in Mexico, most of them peaceful, although there have been some violent acts, particularly in Guerrero, such as angry crowds burning government buildings and the offices of political parties. </p> <p><em>Published in <a href="http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news">Latino Daily News</a></em></p><div class="feedflare"> <a

his visit to China on Wednesday, after securing Beijing’s support for building a railroad that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans passing through Peruvian and Brazilian territory.</p> <p>Following his participation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, APEC, summit on Monday and Tuesday, Humala met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and local businessmen, who were encouraged by the Peruvian head of state to do business in Peru, citing the country’s stability and favorable investment climate. </p><p>Humala was greeted with military honors on his arrival at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. He then held a bilateral meeting with President Xi.</p> <p>During the meeting, Xi said that China will actively participate in construction of the railway, according to the Chinese state news agency Xinhua.</p> <p>After the meeting, the two leaders presided the signing of seven bilateral agreements, one of which was a memorandum of understanding for the creation of a business group that will proceed to establish the so-called “Twin Ocean Railroad Connection” between Peru and Brazil.</p> <p>The tripartite agreement was signed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Peru, the National Development and Reform Commission of China and the Brazilian Ministry of Transport.</p> <p>The two presidents also signed an economic cooperation agreement, after which China will grant Peru an amount of $11.5 million.

http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/report-latin-america-has-highest-rate-of-female-scientific-researchers/31438#When:22:45:22Z <p>Forty-five percent of the scientific researchers in Latin America are women, the highest for any region of the world, the head of the Science Policy and Sustainable Development Division of Unesco, Lidia Brito, said Wednesday.</p> <p>During a speech in Montevideo at the “Ecosystems of Innovation in Latin America: policies, institutions and impact,” which is being held through Friday at the Spanish Training and Cooperation Center in Uruguay, Brito provided various figures regarding the region’s research and development situation.</p> <p>Brazil and Mexico produce 30 percent of the new science Ph.D. holders in the region, she said, adding that 45 percent of the scientific researchers in the region are women.</p> <p>Ninety percent of R&D investment is concentrated in four countries - Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico - but Brazil has 60 percent of that funding, according to the latest “Science Report” produced by Unesco.</p> <p>“It’s important to recognize that it’s a region that’s growing but where there’s still much to do,” Brito said.</p> <p>Countries like Mexico and Argentina “are positioning themselves very well” and are standing out on the international level, but Brazil is the country that is the truly significant player in R&D, according to Brito. </p> <p><em>Published in <a href="http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news">Latino Daily News</a></em></p><div class="feedflare"> <a

is the focus of media reports this week as Mexico deals with the disappearance and presumed murders of 43 education students.</p> <p>The house, worth an estimated $7 million, was built between 2010 and 2012 in the Mexican capital’s upscale Lomas de Chapultepec district by the Higa company, the Aristegui Noticias news Web site reported.</p> <p>Higa was the recipient of several public works contracts when President Enrique Peña Nieto served as governor of Mexico state, which surrounds the Federal District and forms part of the Mexico City metropolitan area.</p> <p>The mansion is guarded by presidential security service personnel and its title is registered to Ingeniería Inmobiliaria del Centro, a unit of Higa, Aristegui Noticias said.</p> <p>Rivera owns the mansion and she purchased the property with money she earned during her successful career as a soap opera actress, government spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said.</p> <p>Peña Nieto and Rivera agreed to keep their assets separate when they married in 2010, and the first lady has no legal obligation to report her assets because she is not a government official, Sanchez said.</p> <p>The mansion has 1,414 sq. meters (15,200 sq. feet) of space and is situated on a lot acquired from businessman Armando Hinojosa, who owns Higa and has long-standing ties to Peña Nieto.</p> <p>Higa has received a number of government contracts in recent years and has an interest in Teya, a company that was partnering with China Railways to build the high-speed rail line in Queretaro.</p> <p>Peña Nieto cancelled the high-speed railway project last week amid criticism that only one bidder took part in the auction.</p> <p>Media reports about the first lady’s mansion have raised questions about how an actress could amass enough money to acquire such a residence.</p> <p>The first lady starred in numerous telenovelas, including “Destilando amor,” a hit soap opera based on the Colombian soap “Cafe con aroma de mujer.”</p> <p>Rivera said in a 2013 interview with a romance magazine that the first family planned to live in the so-called “white house” when Peña Nieto’s six-year term ends in 2018. </p> <p><em>Published in <a

Contracts by Nearly $2 Billion http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HSN-Global-Feed/~3/FEt91mrQsqw/31436 http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/latino-daily-news/details/report-brazils-oil-giant-petrobras-over-paid-for-contracts-by-nearly-2-bill/31436#When:18:48:08Z <p>Excessive payments on contracts for refineries and other projects by Brazilian state-controlled oil giant Petrobras may have amounted to nearly 3 billion reais ($1.17 billion), the head of an office investigating the alleged irregularities said.</p> <p>That total includes alleged irregular overpayments for construction of the Comperj petrochemical complex in Rio de Janeiro state and the Abreu e Lima (Pernambuco), Duque de Caxias (Rio de Janeiro) and Getulio Vargas (Parana) refineries, as well as the purportedly high cost of acquiring a refinery in the U.S. city of Pasadena, Texas. </p><p>n a lunch Tuesday with Brazilian reporters, the president of the TCU tribunal, Augusto Nardes, said the irregularities are the “biggest scandal” his body has ever investigated.</p> <p>He said there are “indications” the alleged irregular overpayments amounted to 3 billion reais but added that the TCU ministers still must determine the precise amount.</p> <p>Nearly half of the total, some 1.6 billion reais (nearly $585 million) corresponds to losses sustained in the purchase of the Pasadena refinery in 2006. The TCU says the amount of overpayment in that instance has already been verified.</p> <p>Petrobras acquired a 50 percent stake in that refinery for $360 million from Astra Holding USA, a unit of Belgium’s NPM/CNP that a year earlier had paid $42.5 million for the entire facility.</p> <p>Due to a put option in the contract, Petrobras was required to acquire the remaining 50 percent and ended up paying $820 million for that stake after a protracted legal battle with Astra.</p> <p>Nardes’s comments come two months after the jailed former director of Petrobras’ refining and supply unit, Paulo Roberto Costa, implicated dozens of politicians in an alleged bribery scheme.</p> <p>Costa, who has reached a plea deal with prosecutors after confessing to orchestrating the scheme, said that dozens of politicians received commissions on contracts that Petrobras signed with construction firms between 2004 and 2012. </p> <p><em>Published in <a

hatchlings have been released in the Pacific Ocean in the northwestern Mexican state of Baja California Sur, environmental groups said.</p> <p>The two-day release was completed on Tuesday with the assistance of residents of the town of Los Barriles.</p> <p>An adult sea turtle named “Noelia” was also released with a satellite tracking apparatus on it, Georgina Saad, priority marine species coordinator for the alliance formed by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature and Telcel, told Efe.</p> <p>The apparatus was placed on the adult turtle with “the goal of learning about the migration routes of females that come to nest in this area,” Saad said.</p> <p>The Gulf of California is home to five of the seven sea turtle species that exist in the world.</p> <p>One of the goals of the conservation program is to get community groups to monitor sea turtle nests, Saad said.</p> <p>“This is important because all the turtle species are considered to be in danger of extinction,” Saad said.</p> <p>Sea turtles were still hunted for food until just a couple of decades ago, but the practice has largely ended.</p> <p>The Olive Ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), also known as the Pacific Ridley, is the most common turtle species in North American Pacific waters.</p> <p>Olive Ridleys can grow to 70 centimeters (30 inches) and weigh up to 50 kilos (110 pounds). </p>
