¿Justicia? conduce borracha, mata madre hispana y sólo la condenan a 5 años El Sol de Ohio Redacción Central
Con indignación entre varios hispanos fue recibida la decisión del juez que condenó a sólo 5 años de prisión a Mattison Skoog, de 24 años, luego de que en marzo pasado provocara la muerte de Maribel Pablo Mijangos, de 32 años, en un accidente de tránsito que también puso en riesgo la vida de los tres niños de la hispana. La madrugada del 24 de Marzo Skoog conducía ebria por la I-70 cerca de West Jefferson y al entrar en el carril contrario colisionó contra el auto de Maribel, en el que además de los tres niños venían dos adultos. Sólo Maribel murió en el acto, los demás acompañantes fueron hospitalizados con heridas leves. El juez Eamon Costello, del Condado de Madison, también suspendió de por vida la licencia de conducir a Skoog y le impuso una multa de 10 mil dóla-
res y tres años de supervision después de su salida de la cárcel. A cambio de sus declaraciones de culpabilidad le retiró los cargos de asalto vehicular.
La decision del tribunal fue recibida con indignación por los hispanos según revelan varios comentarios puestos en la página de facebook de El
Sol de Ohio, de los cuales solo se publica una muestra adjunto a esta nota.

Nuevo líder del Congreso de EUA descarta reforma migratoria con Obama El Sol de Ohio Special Report
El nuevo presidente de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos, el republicano Paul Ryan, rechazó la posibilidad de que este cuerpo legislativo discuta un nuevo proyecto de reforma migratoria durante la presidencia de Barack Obama. Ryan canceló la posibilidad de votar una nueva propuesta de reforma migratoria, luego de que la mayoría republicana bloqueara en 2013 una enmienda que ya había sido aprobada por el Senado. “No creo que debamos, y no lo haremos, proponer
una legislación sobre migración con un presidente en quien no podemos confiar sobre el tema”, afirmó Ryan. El legislador de Wisconsin repitió la acusación de que Obama hizo cambios en la política migratoria sin lograr acuerdos en el Congreso, por lo que los legisladores republicanos habían perdido la confianza en el mandatario para negociar sobre el tema. Obama “trató de saltarse al Congreso con una orden ejecutiva para reescribir las leyes de manera unilateral. Los presidentes no escriben leyes, el Congreso escribe leyes”, sostuvo Ryan, quien desde esta semana reemplazó a
John Boehner como presidente de la Cámara de Representantes. Los republicanos han insistido que el programa de Obama de otorgar permisos de trabajo a jóvenes que llegaron de niños a Estados Unidos, conoci-
do como Acción Diferida, así como su intento de expandir este beneficio a los padres de estos jóvenes, saboteó las negociaciones migratorias en el Congreso. En ese sentido, Ryan aseguró en el canal CBS que
un proyecto de reforma migratoria “no estaba contemplado”. Añadió que “sería una noción ridícula tratar de trabajar en un tema como este con un presidente en quien simplemente no podemos confiar”.
El republicano precisó que la Cámara de Representantes estaría dispuesta a discutir en cambio temas relacionados con la migración, como el reforzamiento de la seguridad interna o de las fronteras.
Thousands who didn’t file tax returns Nearly 6,000 drug inmates to go free may lose health care subsidies El Sol de Ohio Special Report
Tens of thousands of people with modest incomes are at risk of losing health insurance subsidies in January because they did not file income tax returns, federal officials and consumer advocates say. Under federal rules, anyone who receives an insurance subsidy must file a tax return to verify that the person was eligible and received the proper amount of financial assistance based on household income. When the federal insurance marketplace opens for the third enrollment season, users will see a new question: “Did your household file a 2014 tax return and reconcile any premium tax credit you used?” If the answer to that question is no, consumers risk losing the subsidies they receive to help pay premiums. Without such assistance, many would find insurance unaffordable.
El Sol de Ohio Many of the people potentially affected have incomes so low that they would not otherwise have to file tax returns. But if they received insurance subsidies in 2014, they were required to file this year. In July, the Internal Revenue Service said 710,000 people who had received subsidies under the Affordable Care Act had not filed tax returns and had not requested more time to do so. If those people do not return to the marketplace
this fall, they may be automatically re-enrolled in the same or similar health plans at full price. And when they receive an invoice from the insurance company next year, they may be shocked to see that their subsidies have been cut to zero. The I.R.S. also said 760,000 taxpayers had received subsidies and filed returns but had not attached the required form comparing the subsidies paid with the amount they were entitled to receive. Taxpayers describe that
document, I.R.S. Form 8962, as daunting. The federal government provides subsidies in the form of tax credits, which cover about 70 percent of premiums, on average. The I.R.S. commissioner, John A. Koskinen, said 97 percent of people who received such assistance claimed it in advance, before filing their taxes. The amount of the subsidy is based in part on how much income the recipient expects to have in the coming year. Credit: NYT.
Special Report
The US will release nearly 6,000 people jailed for drug crimes in the coming days, an effort to reform policies that led to mass incarceration. About 3,400 inmates were already confined in places like halfway houses. Another 1,700 of the inmates are not US citizens and will possibly face deportation. The changes come as part of an effort to reverse long jail terms for non-violent offenders, who make up
about half of the federal prison population. They are the first wave of what will be thousands set free because of new rules from the US Sentencing Commission. On average, their jail terms are being reduced by about two years. It is not yet clear exactly what will happen to the non-US citizen prisoners. A BBC inquiry to the Department of Justice was not answered. This release is the biggest of its kind in US history, and up to 46,000 of the country’s 100,000 drug offenders could qualify.

Normalization on one side, embargo on the other
Since just over a year ago, El Sol de Ohio entered the political campaign supporting the candidate for Columbus mayor Sheriff Zach Scott, and it did so with the most dedication possible. It was an intense campaign that culminated in the November 3 election with the victory of opponent Andrew Ginther. Paradoxically, these elections have also been a triumph for El Sol de Ohio and Columbus’ Hispanic community. It was a triumph for El Sol de Ohio because the newspaper demonstrated its leadership and reach with its publications in favor of Scott and against Ginther. Sheriff Scott, who was unknown to Hispanics, achieved the broadest sympathy in our community. In turn, in regards to Ginther, the newspaper was a fundamental instrument to disseminate his corruption scandals and spark protests against him. But the largest triumph for El Sol de Ohio was to encourage the Hispanic community to participate in this election. Voters and non-voters have participated with an enthusiasm never seen before. Non-voters, by participating in the campaign; and voters, by going to the ballots in larger numbers compared to previous years. We congratulate the Hispanic community for this achievement. And we join the celebration!
Hemos peleado una buena batalla política “He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera, he guardado la fe” Timoteo 4:7 Desde hace poco más de un año El Sol de Ohio entró en la campaña política apoyando al candidato a la Alcaldía de Columbus, el Sheriff Zach Scott, y lo hizo con la mayor dedicación posible. Ha sido una campaña intensa que culminó en las elecciones del 3 de Noviembre con el triunfo del oponente, Andrew Ginther. Paradójicamente, estas elecciones también han sido un triunfo para El Sol de Ohio y la comunidad hispana de Columbus. Un triunfo para El Sol de Ohio porque el periódico demostró su liderazgo y alcance con sus publicaciones a favor de Scott y en contra de Ginther. El sheriff Scott, quien era un desconocido para los hispanos, logró la más amplia simpatía en nuestra comunidad. En cambio, en el caso de Ginther, el periódico fue un instrumento fundamental para difundir sus escándalos de corrupción y motivar las protestas en su contra. Pero el mayor triunfo de El Sol de Ohio ha sido motivar a la comunidad hispana a participar en estas elecciones. Votantes y no votantes han participado con un entusiasmo nunca antes visto. Los no votantes, participando en las actividades de campañas, y los votantes, yendo a las urnas en una cantidad mucho mayor que años anteriores. Felicitamos a la comunidad hispana por este logro…Y nos incluimos en la celebración!

The Cuban political system continues to bring us interesting news. This one in particular is not a big surprise, but it is still interesting: On October 27, the United Nations General Assembly voted for the 24th consecutive time in favor of a resolution against the embargo imposed on Cuba by the US. These resolutions only have a symbolic character because no UN member is obliged to obey them, but Cuba has a motive to consider this vote as a historical one, since out of 193 member states, 191 voted in favor and just two (the US and Israel) voted against. In our judgment, the main reasons why the embargo has to be lifted now have nothing to do with the hyperbole still being manufactured in Havana about the embargo, or what the Cuban government calls “blockade,” being criminal and inhumane. Those reasons are practical: The embargo did not achieve what its promoters in 1960 wanted it to achieve. To the contrary – all the embargo has done is to provide the
Cuban government easy excuses to fall into ideological hysteria and blame the US for the errors of Soviet-style central planning. The latter wins the sympathy of a region with a long history of American interventions, but it also has the effect of keeping an outdated revolutionary project on life support, which cannot last for too long. Nevertheless, thanks to the most intransigent within the Cuban diaspora and the ideological hysteria that frequently appears among the American political class, the embargo is part of the body of federal laws that only Congress can amend or abolish. What is required, then, is that a strong majority in both chambers finally understands what we all know: that the embargo does not work. And this Congress is in no mood to think so. The executive branch can utilize its criteria and discretion when applying the embargo law to make it less strict, but it runs the risk of inciting hyperbole from some congressperson willing to shut down the government in
response or fall victim to that tergiversation machine known as Fox News, which has great influence over that part of the electorate that is currently swooning over Donald Trump and Ben Carson. This détente between Cuba and the US can last if the US shows that it is acting in good faith and lifts the embargo. But if political change in Cuba still has to be forced, the best way to do so is by not giving its government reasons to think that it is still under siege and its sovereignty is in danger as it was in 1960. The point is that the revolutionary emperor has no clothes but, unlike wat happened in the fable, almost no one in Cuba minds the little girl that has noticed because doing so is the same as supporting Yankee imperialism or, worse yet, provoke the ire of State Security, as it happened to the late Oswaldo Payá and many other Cubans who want to think differently from the official dogma but cannot do so without risking to lose their liberty or even their lives.

Seven books to read in november LIBRO 1
Thomas Vinciguerra, Cast of Characters
Cast of Characters began as a biography of The New Yorker’s theatre critic Wolcott Gibbs, author of immortal lines like “Backward ran sentences until reeled the mind” (that’s from his satiric 1936 evisceration of Henry Luce and his Time magazine empire). Happily for readers, Vinciguerra widened his lens. He includes EB White and James Thurber, the other two writers The New Yorker’s founding editor Harold Ross called his “staff geniuses”. Along with Katharine White, Charles Addams, Peter Arno and John O’Hara, they were stalwarts in Ross’s inner circle during the magazine’s early golden years. Vinciguerra, editor of an anthology of Gibbs’ writings called Backward Ran Sentences, draws upon their writings, manuscript archives and interviews with family, New Yorker personnel and surviving staffers like Roger Angell, to create a lucid and witty group portrait.

novel during this period, and inserts a fictional artist, Alizée, into the circle that was expanding the boundaries of traditional art. The story is told by Alizée’s great-niece Danielle, a contemporary auction house cataloguer fascinated by stories of the relative who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 1940. When Danielle thinks she has discovered three of Alizée’s paintings, her moving journey of discovery takes us through Depression-era politics and reveals the tragic consequences of American policy when the Jewish populations of Europe, imperiled by Nazism, were denied refuge in the US.

Tap, writes New York Times dance critic Seibert, “is dance and music, sound and movement”. His comprehensive, nuanced and enlightening history traces the evolution of the form back four centuries, to its roots in African-based dances and Irish jigging of the early
American colonial period. It is a story of “several braided traditions”, writes Seibert, and of the powerful influence of virtuosos like Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson and Fred Astaire (who were once on the same vaudeville bill); James ‘Buster’ Brown, who went pro in 1932 and danced into his late 80s; Gregory Hines, Savion Glover and those in the new tap generations, like Michelle Dorrance. Seibert brings a lifelong love of tap to his work, and an openness to new perspectives. “There was a lot I thought I knew but didn’t know about the history of my country,” he writes.

Stephen King, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams
The master of horror shows a playful side as he invites his Constant Reader to his new collection of 20 stories: “Feel free to examine them, but please be careful,” he writes in the introduction, “The best of them have teeth.” He weaves the stories together with conversational descriptions of the genesis of each. Mile 81, a story about a man-eating car, was conceived when he was 19 and commuting on empty stretches of I-95 in Maine, and completed some 40 years later. He includes a story about a newspaperman who kills people by writing their obituaries, an e-reader that accesses multiple parallel worlds (written after he rejected an offer to create a story for the launch of a Kindle version) and what he calls “that all-time favorite, the end of the human race”.

John Irving, Avenue of Mysteries
LIBRO 5
Elaine Sciolino, The Only Street in Paris
“I’m a liar. Born to lying, bred to it, trained to it by an industry that lies for a living, practised in it as a novelist.” So says David Cornwell, the novelist known as John le Carré, the subject of this fascinating biography. Sisman shows how le Carré’s father – a womanising shyster whose bankruptcy and jail time shamed his family, and drove his mother away when Cornwell was only five – cast a shadow over his life. He describes Cornwell’s miserable years in boarding schools, his time at Oxford, where he undertook undercover work for MI5, his early job as a master at Eton, and his work for MI6 at a critical point in the Cold War. He also analyses how The Spy Who Came in from the Cold changed the author’s life irrevocably. A superb biography, bristling with fresh insights. (Credit: HarperCollins)
The former Paris bureau chief of The New York Times shares her love for her adopted working-class neighborhood in this delicious and detailed look at the Rue des Martyrs. It’s a traditional Parisian street with a distinguished cultural history – the inspiration for Puccini’s La Bohème, and Zola’s Nana, as well as circus paintings by
Degas, Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec. It’s where Truffaut filmed scenes for his 1959 autobiographical film The 400 Blows. Sciolino brings us up to date with leisurely visits to her favourite café, the fish shop, the cheesemonger, “the most seductive greengrocer in Paris”, the knife sharpener, the specialist in gilded wood, the bookseller, the dive bar, the second-hand shop where she took Arianna Huffington shopping, and the cabaret that inspired La Cage aux Folles. Her knack for making friends and her reporter’s instincts keep this tour fascinating. (Credit: WW Norton)
Irving’s Juan Diego has two lives – as a boy in Mexico, and an American teaching and writing in Iowa for 40 years. A gifted multilingual reader, he grew up in the 1960s in the slums of Oaxaca. His younger sister Lupe can read minds and foretell the future. At 14, a truck crushes his foot, leaving him crippled. Irving renders this Oaxacan boyhood vividly. He shows us Juan Diego decades later, retired and a celebrated writer as he travels to Manila in the company of two desirable women. But the present is not enough to pull him away from his dreams and memories of the wondrous, sometimes nightmarish happenings in Oaxaca. Avenue of Mysteries pulls us into his provocative and poignant musings. (Credit: Simon and Schuster)

Politics, culture and the social sciences
Many American universities were founded as religious institutions, explicitly designed to cultivate their students’ spiritual and moral natures. But over the course of the 20th century they became officially or effectively secular. Religious rituals like mandatory chapel services were dropped. Academic research and teaching replaced character formation at the core of the university’s mission. Administrators and professors dropped spiritual language and moral prescription either because
The Big University
they didn’t know what to say or because they didn’t want to alienate any part of their diversifying constituencies. The humanities departments became less important, while parents ratcheted up the pressure for career training. Universities are more professional and glittering than ever, but in some ways there is emptiness deep down. Students are taught how to do things, but many are not forced to reflect on why they should do them or what we are here for. They are given many career options, but they are on their own when it comes to developing criteria to determine which vocation would lead to the fullest life.
First, reveal moral options. We’re the inheritors of an array of moral traditions. There’s the Greek tradition emphasizing honor, glory and courage, the Jewish tradition emphasizing justice and law, the Christian tradition emphasizing surrender and grace, the scientific tradition emphasizing reason and logic, and so on. Colleges can insist that students at least become familiar with these different moral ecologies. Then it’s up to the students to figure out which one or which combination is best to live by. Second, foster transcendent experiences. If a student spends four years in regular and concentra-
with poetry or music, extended time in a cathedral, serving a child with Down syndrome, waking up with loving friends on a mountain But things are changing. On almost every campus faculty members and administrators are trying to stem the careerist tide and to widen the system’s narrow definition of achievement. Institutes are popping up — with interdisciplinary humanities programs and even meditation centers — designed to cultivate the whole student: the emotional, spiritual and moral sides and not just the intellectual.
Technology is also forcing change. Online courses make the transmission of information a commodity. If colleges are going to justify themselves, they are going to have to thrive at those things that require physical proximity. That includes moral and spiritual development. Very few of us cultivate our souls as hermits. We do it through small groups and relationships and in social contexts.
In short, for the past many decades colleges narrowed down to focus on professional academic disciplines, but now there are a series of forces leading them to widen out so that they leave a mark on the full human being. The trick is to find a way to talk about moral and spiritual things while respecting diversity. Universities might do that by taking responsibility for four important tasks.
ted contact with beauty — with poetry or music, extended time in a cathedral, serving a child with Down syndrome, waking up with loving friends on a mountain — there’s a good chance something transcendent and imagination-altering will happen. Third, investigate current loves and teach new things to love. On her great blog, Brain Pickings, Maria Popova quotes a passage from Nietzsche on how to find your identity: “Let the young soul survey its own life with a view of the following question: ‘What have you truly loved thus far? What has ever uplifted your soul, what has dominated and delighted it at the same time?’ ” Line up these revered objects in a row, Nietzsche says, and they will reveal your fundamental self. To lead a full future life, meanwhile, students have to find new things to love: a field of interest, an activity, a spouse, community, philosophy or faith. College is about exposing students to many things and creating an aphrodisiac atmosphere so that they might fall in lifelong love with a few. Fourth, apply the humanities. The social sciences are not shy about applying their disciplines to real life. But literary critics, philosophers and art historians are shy about applying their knowledge to real life because it might seem too Oprahesque or self-helpy. They are afraid of being prescriptive because they idolize individual choice. But the great works of art and literature have a lot to say on how to tackle the concrete challenges of living, like how to escape the chains of public opinion, how to cope with grief or how to build loving friendships. Instead of organizing classes around academic concepts — 19th-century French literature — more could be organized around the concrete challenges students will face in the first decade after graduation. It’s tough to know how much philosophical instruction anybody can absorb at age 20, before most of life has happened, but seeds can be planted. Universities could more intentionally provide those enchanted goods that the marketplace doesn’t offer. If that happens, the future of the university will be found in its original moral and spiritual mission, but secularized, and in an open and aspiring way.

Conoce las causas de por qué sufres de mal aliento y cómo curarlo naturalmente con este elixir El Sol de Ohio Special Report
La halitosis o mal aliento es algo que nos frecuenta a casi todos, claro está desentendiendo del cuidado o higiene que le demos a nuestra boca, pero esta aunque no queramos se encuentra allí por las mañanas. Y esto se debe a que la boca se mantiene en reposo durante la noche, por lo que al estar inactiva produce poca saliva y esta se reseca más de lo normal, dejando que las bacterias liberen todas al mismo tiempo ese olor que tanto nos desagrada. Pero se da el caso de que hay personas que padecen de halitosis casi durante todo el día y no solo al despertar; y como explicamos anteriormente esto se debe muchas veces a la higiene bucal y en muchos casos problemas estomacales que sin querer nos deja salir ese mal olor desde bien adentro. De igual forma te mostraremos las principales causas que hacen que tengamos mal aliento. Causas más comunes • Empacho. • Mal funcionamiento del hígado. • Alcoholismo. • Tabaquismo. • Mala higiene bucal. • Caries. • Problemas dentales. • Prótesis dentales. • Gingivitis. • Infecciones de garganta.
• Sinusitis. • Consumo de medicamentos. • Gastritis crónica. • Tonsilolitos. Si vemos que es muy frecuente el mal aliento y no mejora de ninguna forma, lo ideal es recurrir al médico para que juntos determinen las causas y como deben tratarlo. Ya que en muchos casos aparecen casos graves en los que la persona lo que tiene es algún tipo de cáncer, en especial uno de pulmón o hepático, lo cual en casi todos los casos produce halitosis. Para tratar la halitosis deberemos eliminar an-
tes que nada las posibles causas. En muchos casos como comentamos anteriormente pueden ser por problemas hepáticos o digestivos, los cuales son los más comunes. Por lo que se debe limpiar el organismo, ya que este nos está dando señales de que nuestro tracto gastrointestinal hay restos de comida en descomposición. Ingiere ensaladas con clorofila Un delicioso y gran remedio natural es comer todos los días ensaladas frescas en la cual tenga apio, perejil, menta y aguacate empapado de aceite de oliva
(un poquito, no mucho), y un poco de sal. Estas ensaladas son bastante depurativas para el hígado. Por lo que debes siempre buscar alimentos verdes, ricos en clorofila, debido a que esta, nos ayuda a neutralizar los malos olores y limpiar y refrescar toda la cavidad bucal. Bayas de enebro En caso de que no la conozcas, el enebro es una especia proveniente de Europa y esta crece en bosques húmedos y fríos, y también en Asia septentrional y América del Norte. Este es un remedio natu-
rista muy fácil de realizar pero debemos tener en cuenta, que tenemos que seguir las indicaciones. Esto consiste en masticar bayas de enebro media hora antes de cada comida, y lo realizaremos de la siguiente forma: Días 1, 2 y 3: una baya de enebro antes de cada comida Días 4, 5 y 6: 2 bayas de enebro antes de cada comida A partir del 7 día: 5 bayas de enebro antes de cada comida Esto podemos hacerlo de a 15 días y luego reposamos 15 días más. Es decir una serie por mes.
El alga chlorella Esta es una microalga, la cual está compuesta en un 60% de albúmina vegetal, y esta es muy valiosa ya que posee 19 aminoácidos, incluidos los 8 esenciales que deben ser ingeridos en nuestra alimentación diaria, debido a que nuestro organismo no los puede producir por sí mismo. Además la Chlorella es una fuente natural de sustancias minerales, y vitaminas, especialmente la vitamina B12. En el caso del mal aliento, la clorofila de la chlorella ejerce un efecto antibacteriano, neutralizando así los malos olores.

Casos de melanoma aumentan en las mujeres en los últimos años El Sol de Ohio Special Report
La cantidad de casos de melanoma aumentó de manera drástica en los últimos 30 años, sobre todo en las mujeres en edad media, por lo que especialistas pidieron vigilar y realizar evaluaciones a la piel como medidas preventivas. El melanoma es el tipo más grave de cáncer de piel y se desarrolla en las células llamadas melanocitos que producen melanina, o pigmento que da el color a la piel, detalló el Instituto Mayo Clinic en un comunicado. A pesar de no ser clara la causa exacta de todos los melanomas, se sabe que la exposición a los rayos
ultravioletas (UV) y a la radiación proveniente de la luz solar o de las lámparas y camas de bronceado aumenta el riesgo para la enfermedad.
Además, el crecimiento de esta enfermedad podría tener relación con el mayor uso de las camas de bronceado durante los años 80, cuando muchas
mujeres que ahora tienen entre 40 y 50 años eran adolescentes. Cuando el melanoma pasa desapercibido y se disemina puede ser muy difícil
de tratar; sin embargo, si se detecta pronto en general es curable, señalan los especialistas. Por ello los médicos indican que es importante conocer la propia piel e informar al dermatólogo de inmediato sobre cualquier cambio, en especial cuando hubo una gran exposición a camas de bronceado en el pasado. “Es por ello que resulta fundamental revisar la piel una vez al mes, y en particular, vigilar la aparición de lunares nuevos que antes no existían”, menciona el instituto. El cáncer de piel se debe identificar por la asimetría, los bordes, el color y el tamaño, pues si el diámetro de un lunar excede de 635 milímetros o tiene
un tamaño similar al borrador de un lápiz, debe revisarlo un especialista. De igual manera, si un lunar presenta algún cambio en su tamaño, forma, color o altura, y/o si se desarrollan síntomas tales como sangrado, comezón o sensibilidad. También se debe tener presente que aparte del melanoma hay otros tipos de cáncer de piel como el carcinoma basocelular y el carcinoma de células escamosas, los cuales tienden a lucir como manchas escamosas de color rosa o rojo en la piel que no desaparecen.

Aspirin trial to examine if it can stop cancer returning El Sol de Ohio Special Report
The world’s largest clinical trial to examine whether aspirin can prevent cancers returning has begun in the UK. About 11,000 people who have had early bowel, breast, prostate, stomach and oesophageal cancer will be involved. Uncertainty about the drug’s possible anti-cancer qualities has led to fierce medical debate in recent years. If it is proven to work, scientists say it would be “game-changing”, by providing a cheap and effective way to help more patients survive. During the study, funded by the charity Cancer Re-
search UK and the NIHR - the research arm of the NHS - patients will take a tablet every day for five years. Researchers will compare groups of patients taking
different doses of aspirin with people taking dummy (placebo) pills and check for any recurrences of cancer. Dr Fiona Reddington from Cancer Research UK said:
“The trial is especially exciting as cancers that recur are often harder to treat so finding a cheap and effective way to prevent this is potentially game-changing for patients.”
The trial will run across 100 UK centres, involving patients who are having or have had treatment for early cancer, and will last up to 12 years. But scientists warn that aspirin is not suitable for everyone and should not be used without medical advice. Taking the drug every day comes with a serious health warning as it can cause side effects such as ulcers and bleeding from the stomach, or even the brain. Prof Ruth Langley, lead investigator on the trial, said: “There’s been some interesting research suggesting that aspirin could delay or stop early stage cancers coming back but there’s been no randomised trial to give clear proof.
“The trial aims to answer this question once and for all. “If we find that aspirin does stop these cancers returning, it could change future treatment - providing a cheap and simple way to help stop cancer coming back and helping more people survive.” Alex King, 51, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2009 and has been given the allclear, said: “Having cancer was one of the toughest experiences of my life. “Any opportunity to reduce the chance of cancer coming back is incredibly important so patients can rest more easily.” Many people are already prescribed daily, low-dose aspirin as a heart drug.
Is exercising in the cold bad for your body? El Sol de Ohio Special Report
If you’ve ever exercised in the cold, you know the sensations. Your muscles feel tighter. Your toes and hands go numb. The cold air rushing through your mouth and nose, down your windpipe, and into your lungs can feel harsh and, at times, painful. Afterward, you may have a slight, sometimes dry, sometimes wet cough. These sensations can cause wonder, and worry. “Is it bad to work out in the cold?” you may ask yourself. “Are my muscles supposed to feel this way? Is the cold air doing harm to my lungs and body?” We spoke with Dr. Sean Robinson of the Oregon Health and Science University, an avid winter runner with a Certificate of Added Qualification in sports medicine, for some answers. No matter the temperature, before you workout, you need to warm up. But, when it’s cold, it’s doubly important. “Muscle contraction is negatively affected by temperature,” Robinson explains. “The stiffness that you feel in the cold weather is related to this issue. The thought is that the muscle has a harder time getting oxygen from your blood in colder temperatures and your muscles need oxygen to contract, thus making contraction more difficult.” So, how do you counteract the tightness and make sure it doesn’t turn into pain and injury?
Dynamic stretching. “The notion of stretching before running is often debated,” Robinson states. “There are a group of experts who feel that injury prevention is not affected if you stretch prior to exercising, and a group that feels it helps. Most will agree that dynamic stretching is better than static stretching. Cold weather will generally make you feel stiff, and a gentle dynamic stretching routine can do wonders for your muscles.” When it’s cold
out, Robinson prefers warming up outdoors to prepare his body for the weather. Your muscles aren’t the only thing affected by the cold, though. The cold, dry air has been known to cause pain in people’s throats and lungs, and though it isn’t always a sign of something serious, it’s worth monitoring. “Your lungs function as your natural air filter and humidifier,” says Robinson. “There are some athletes who are prone to bronchos-
pasm (the small airways in your lungs will spasm and shrink), and this can cause pain, coughing, and shortness of breath. Other individuals may get an initial bronchospasm but their body will normalize and allow them to continue.” If coughing, shortness of breath, or any pain continues, Robinson advises talking to your doctor. When you exercise in warm weather, your body has to work especially hard to keep your body cool. You sweat, you cool
down, you get thirsty, you drink. In cold weather, the burden isn’t as extreme, you tend not to notice the sweat under your layers, and as a result, you can forget to stay hydrated. “Hydration is just as important during cold weather as warm,” Robinson explains. “You sweat more than you realize. The risk of hypothermia increases with dehydration, so be sure to drink even if you’re not thirsty.” If you run with a reservoir, Robinson’s trick is to
blow air into the tube after you take a sip to ensure the tube is full of warm air, not freezing water. Another key to avoiding hypothermia, or general coldness that can lead to sickness or numbness in your extremities, is wearing the right clothing. Pure cotton is a no-go because while it pulls the sweat from your body, it doesn’t evaporate quickly, leaving you with a damp, cold layer. A cotton-andpolyester mix is what you want. “A polyester-cotton material provides the better combination of pulling sweat and enhancing evaporation to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable,” says Robinson. “Layering an insulated wind-resistant shell with a sweat-wicking base is advised.” Robinson also mentions that if you’re feeling a little under the weather, you can still exercise in the cold, but pay attention to what your body is saying. However, if you have a fever over 100.4 F, take a day off, as exercising with a fever can put you at risk for heat illness. Finally, once you’ve finished your workout, be sure to get inside and change into dry clothes as quickly as possible. If you’re going to be outside for a while afterward, bring a towel to dry off and some extra layers to maintain your body’s temperature. Oh, and if your throat is a bit parched or your body is a bit cold, try a hot beverage. Gin and tea, anyone? Credit: Details.

DEPORTES El Sol de Ohio Special Report
El pitcher de los New York Mets ha pasado a la historia como uno de los villanos que será recordado individualmente por la caída del equipo en World Series 2015. Su orgullo y su egoísmo prácticamente le costó a los suyos la pérdida por completo del partido clave, el que se necesitaba ganar para seguir con vida en la competencia final. Matt Harvey fue el abridor del juego 5 ante los Kansas City Royals, que al final de cuentas terminaron celebrando en Manhattan la obtención del título definitivo del béisbol profesional. El lanzador tuvo la oportunidad de hacerse a un lado en el protagonismo, de quedar como el pitcher ganador del partido, en caso los Mets completaban la ganancia que ya tenían de 2-0 en el octavo inning.

só más en su dorsal que en su escudo y hoy se puede decir que lo pagó caro. La oportunidad de salir
con la alfombra de flores la tuvo cuando pudo ser sustituido en la lomita, no aceptó seguir instruccio-
nes y se reveló contra los destinos del equipo, algo que quizá no se esperaba es que su soberbia se vería
reducida a cenizas cuando en el noveno inning los Royals le pusieron una carrera de descuento y
un hombre en la segunda base, para dejar servido el destino, que los de Kansas City empataran el partido y obligaran a los extra innings. Después de eso todo fue un descalabro. Y es que la presión y la tensión pasó de la lomita a cada uno de los compañeros que integraban el grupo defensivo. Harvey nos recuerda que cuando es tiempo de retirarse, hay que hacerlo. No hay que esperar a que uno lo sienta, nuestro entorno puede advertirnos que es hora de irse. Recordé la secuencia de la saga de Batman, cuando Gordon le dice a la Ciudad Gótica que el hombre misterioso es un riesgo y es “el causante del mal”.

LeBron James, el más joven El Silencio del Barcelona en llegar a los 25 mil puntos sobre Messi tiene una Razón El Sol de Ohio Special Report
Mientras transcurría la primera mitad del partido entre los Cleveland Cavaliers y los Philadelphia 76ers, todo parecía indicar que tendríamos que esperar para que LeBron James impusiera otro récord en su carrera. Pero con un par de clavadas en el cuarto cuarto, James llegó a 22 puntos y a 25,001 unidades en partidos de temporada regular dentro de su carrera. Con esto, LeBron se convirtió en el jugador más joven en la historia de la NBA en llegar y superar la marca de 25 mil puntos, con lo que dejó atrás a Kobe Bryant, quien poseía el anterior récord cuando llegó a 25 mil en 2010, cuando tenía 31 años y 151 días. LeBron consiguió este récord con 30 años y 307 días. Además, James es el cuarto jugador en lograr
los 25 mil puntos en menos partidos (914), solo atrás de grandes figuras como Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan y Kareem Abdul Jabbar. James impuso la marca en el partido como visitante
que disputaron los Cavs ante los Philadelphia 76rs y recibió una ovación por parte de la afición de la ciudad del amor fraterno durante un tiempo fuera. Credit: Fox Deportes
El tema del estado de salud de Lionel Messi sigue siendo una incógnita en España y el mundo y la información que trascendió, de que el argentino estaría descartado para jugar ante el Real Madrid en el Clásico español, no sería del todo precisa. La razón de la poca certeza que existe alrededor de la recuperación de ‘La Pulga’, es que el Barcelona lo tiene por demás blindado para evitar dos situaciones: Que viaje con el equipo argentino para las eliminatorias sudamericanas rumbo al Mundial
y dos, destantear al Real Madrid que se perfila con cuadro completo para tan trascendental encuentro del 21 de noviembre. A pesar de que Messi no aparece en la convocatoria de Martino para enfrentar a Brasil y Colombia el 12 y 17 de noviembre, respectivamente, la AFA podría solicitar al club que le permita a su futbolista estrella viajar para estar en la concentración, escenario que no agrada en lo más mínimo al Barcelona. El descanso del Leo es la prioridad número uno, además de que quedán-

Lionel Messi se lesionó en el partido de liga ante Las Palmas y el resultado de los estudios no fue favorable para el Barcelona: Messi estaría de 7 a 8 semanas fuera de las canchas.

Chicharito ready to reclaim Mexico Chinese company throne as he finds feet in Leverkusen buys majority stake in Spanish club Espanyol El Sol de Ohio Special Report
Manchester United 47 Chicharito. That’s the score you get if you add up the total goals for each this past October. Rewind to Aug. 26 when 27-year-old Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez was still a Manchester United player and that would’ve seemed an unlikely scenario. On that day in Belgium, Hernandez slipped on his backside while missed a penalty in the Champions League qualifier against Club Brugge, with United already 4-0 up and Wayne Rooney having netted a hat trick. The miss was overshadowed by manager Louis van Gaal’s stare towards assistant Ryan Giggs, which said more than a thousand words could and went viral. It became clear right then that Hernandez was heading for the Old Trafford exit. The striker’s time at Old Trafford -- a club where he became one of the most recognisable and marketable faces in football -- was over, his confidence seemed low and there was a decision to make about what he would do next.
There was talk about a move to MLS, while Chivas owner Jorge Vergaracheekily suggested he would come back to Mexico before choosing that career route. “If he had a different mentality, with another education, he might have returned to Mexico,” opined Jose Luis “Guero” Real, who played a major part in Hernandez’s development as head of Chivas’ youth system and later as firstteam coach at the club, in an interview with ESPN FC in Guadalajara. Instead of returning this side of the Atlantic with
his tail between his legs, Hernandez will lead a young Bayer Leverkusen side into battle in the Stadio Olimpico against Roma on Wednesday, with vital points in Group E of the Champions League at stake. After three goals in three games in the competition so far and six goals in his last four matches overall, you wouldn’t bet against Hernandez finding the net. Along with the goals, Chicharito’s infectious smile and enthusiasm seems to have returned and he is netting with his head, left foot and right at Bayer
Leverkusen, just as he did in those halcyon early days at Old Trafford. The momentum off the field has also returned. Hernandez’s new club Bayer have just started a Spanish-language Twitter account. It celebrated Monday’sDia de los Muertos with a video from their star striker. In Mexico, the “Martes de Chicharito” [Chicharito Tuesday] or “Miercoles de Chicharito” [Chicharito Wednesday] hashtags following his goal-scoring form in midweek matches are back in use.

Heyward, Cueto, Price, Cespedes among top free agents El Sol de Ohio

Special Report
With the World Series over, baseball quickly turned its attention to the opening of the free-agent market. Pitchers David Price, Johnny Cueto, Jordan Zimmermann, Jeff Samardzijaand Scott Kazmir were among 139 players who became free agents Monday. About three dozen more also may go on the market, including Zack Greinke, depending on decisions this week on 2016 options and opt-out clauses. Price, Cueto and Kazmir may be especially attractive because teams that sign them won’t lose amateur draft picks. Each was traded during the season, which means the clubs they landed with can’t make $15.8 million qualifying offers, which attach the draft-pick penalty. Among the position players on the market are

outfielders Yoenis Cespedes, Jason Heyward and Justin Upton; catcher Matt Wieters; first basemen Chris Davis and Mike Napoli; second basemen Daniel Murphy, Ben Zobrist and Howie Kendrick; and shortstop Ian Desmond. Greinke can opt out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which guarantees him $71 million from 2016-18. Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordoncould decline a player option and go free.
Decisions on options are due by Thursday and on qualifying offers the following day. Teams may start negotiating money terms on Saturday. In moves announced Monday, St. Louis exercised its $11.5 million option on left-hander Jaime Garcia and declined a $9 million mutual option on righthanded reliever Jonathan Broxton, who gets a $2 million buyout. Washington turned down its $6.5 million option on
outfielder Nate McLouth, who gets a $750,000 buyout, and its half of a $7 million mutual option on right-hander Casey Janssen, who receives a $1.5 million buyout. Cincinnati declined a $4 million mutual option on right-hander Burke Badenhop and a $2.5 million club option on infielderoutfielder Skip Schumaker.

Detienen en el Vaticano a sacerdote español y exfuncionaria por nuevos Vatileaks El Sol de Ohio Special Report
El Secretario de la Prefectura para los Asuntos Económicos de la Santa Sede, Mons. Lucio Ángel Vallejo Balda; y Francesca Immacolata Chaouqui fueron arrestados en el Vaticano. La investigación conducida por la Gendarmería y la magistratura del Vaticano los habría identificado como los presuntos “cuervos” de la nueva fuga de documentos en los que se basan dos nuevos libros que no han sido publicados: “Avaricia”, del periodista italiano Emiliano Fittipaldi, y “Via Crucis” del su colega del grupo Mediaset Gianluigi Nuzzi. Tanto el español Mons. Vallejo Balda como la italiana Chaouqui formaban parte (el primero como secretario y la segunda como miembro) de la comisión de estudio y orientación sobre la organización de la estructura económico-administrativa de la Santa Sede (la COSEA), instituida en julio de 2013 para evaluar los documentos y las cuentas de todos los dicasterios, y para sugerir reformas para la racionalización de los gastos y mejorar la gestión en conjunto. Fue justamente Mons. Vallejo Balda, número dos de la Prefectura que ha-
bría desaparecido después de la reforma de la Curia, quien propuso incluir a Chaouqui en la comisión. Y justamente después de su nombramiento pontificio surgieron polémicas y dudas alrededor de su persona: se recordaban algunos “tuits” que había publicado sobre una inexistente “leucemia” de Papa Benedicto XVI, y otros mensajes mucho más graves contra el entonces Secretario de Estado, Cardenal Tarcisio Bertone, y sobre el ex-ministro de la economía italiano Tremonti. Chaouqui se defendió diciendo que era víctima de falsas acusaciones, debido a las envidias que habría suscitado su nuevo rol, y denunció
Como número dos del nuevo dicterio económico se decía que el nombramiento de Vallejo Balda era descontado la violación de su cuenta de Twitter. Particularmente significativo, a la luz de la clamorosa noticia de hoy, parece la conversación de Chaouqui con la periodista Denise Pardo, publicado en el sitio del periódico italiano “L’Espresso”, el 17 de septiembre de 2013. Chaouqui decía que tenía acceso a “los documentos más reservados” y habló sobre su amistad con el periodista Gianluigi Nuzzi. Al final del trabajo de la COSEA fueron creados dos nuevos
órganos para centralizar, hacer más transparente y racionar la gestión económica-financiera de la Santa Sede: la Secretaría para la Economía y el Consejo para la Economía. Como encargado de la Secretaría Francisco nombró al cardenal australiano Geroge Pell, que hasta entonces era arzobispo de Sídney y miembro del “C9” (el Consejo de purpurado que ayuda al Papa en la reforma de la Curia y en el gobierno de la Iglesia universal). Como número dos del nuevo dicterio
económico se decía que el nombramiento de Vallejo Balda era descontado. El monseñor había incluso hablado sobre el argumento en una entrevista radiofónica con una emisora española. Pero sorpresivamente, el 3 de marzo de 2014, en lugar de Mons. Vallejo Balda, Francisco nombró como número dos de la Secretaría para la Economía a su segundo secretario particular, el maltés Alfred Xuereb, que el nuevo Papa había heredado del anterior y que sirvió a Ratzinger al lado de mons. Georg Gänswein durante el último periodo del Pontificado. Además, al nuevo Consejo para la Economía, compuesto
igualmente por laicos y cardenales, confluyeron cinco de los miembros de la comisión COSEA (el maltés Joseph F.X. Zahra, el francés Jean-Baptiste de Franssu, que después se habría convertido en el Presidente del IOR, el español Enrique Llano Cueto, el alemán Jochen Messemer y el ex-ministro del Exterior de Singapur George Yeo). Quedó excluida Francesca Immacolata Chaouqui. Mons. Vallejo Balda, definido por Chaouqui como “el mejor ecónomo” de la Iglesia, después de que cerraran la COSEA había vuelto a su puesto de secretario de la Prefectura de Asuntos Económicos, que entonces dirigía el cardenal Giuseppe Versaldi, quien después fue nombrado Prefecto de la Congregación para la Educación Católica. Vallejo Balda y Chaouqui volvieron a atraer los reflectores en abril de 2014, cuando organizaron una recepción en la terraza de la Prefectura de Asuntos Económicos de la Santa Sede para 150 celebridades, invitadas para poder seguir desde lo alto la canonización de Juan XXIII y Juan Pablo II, con todo y con un buffet.

Vatican arrests two people in latest probe of leaked documents A monsignor and a woman who had served on a financial reform commission set up by Pope Francis have been arrested. A monsignor and a woman who had served on a financial reform commission set up by Pope Francis have been arrested in the probe of yet another leak of confidential information and documents, the Vatican said. A statement from the Holy See’s press office said that Vatican prosecutors upheld the arrests of the two, who had been interrogated over the weekend. It identified the woman as Francesca Chaouqui and the monsignor as the Rev. Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda. The monsignor is still a Vatican employee while
Chaouqui had served on a commission that had been set up by Pope Francis in 2013 as part of his drive to reform the Holy See’s finances. Vallejo Balda had also served on the commission, now defunct. A Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Ciro Benedettini, said Vallejo Balda was being held in a jail cell in Vatican City. Chaouqui was allowed to go free because she cooperated in the probe, the Vatican said. “In the context of judicial police investigations carried out by the Vatican gendarmerie, or police force, and begun several
months ago because of the removal and lead of confidential information and documents, on Saturday and Sunday (the) two persons were summoned to be interrogated on the basis of elements and evidence that had been gathered,” the Vatican statement said. While Francis is intent on modernizing the Vatican and making its finances more transparent, the arrests were the latest confirmation that scandal and intrigue still swirl, as they have for centuries, through the largely closed world of the tiny city-state’s administrative bureaucracy. Current and past papacy efforts to clean house at
the Vatican have sparked resentment and found resistance in the Holy See’s entrenched bureaucracy, a perfect combination of factors to foster leaks. Leaks of confidential documents from retired Pope Benedict XVI’s papers in 2012 led to the arrest and trial of a papal butler and a Vatican computer technician. “One must keep in mind that the leaking of confidential information and documents is a crime” under a law enacted in the first months of Francis’ papacy, the Vatican statement said. Last week, Italian news reports said the Vatican police were investigating to see who had tampered
with the computer of the top Holy See’s auditor, Libero Milone, who was appointed a few months ago by Pope Francis. The Vatican confirmed that there was an investigation into the tampering, but declined to say if that incident was related to the two arrests. Later this week, two expose books by Italian journalists about the Vatican’s long-murky world of finances are being published, and the Vatican contended that such publications only hamper Pope Francis’ clean-up drive. “Publications of this nature do not help in any way to establish clarity and truth, but rather generate confusion and partial and
tendentious conclusions,” the Vatican said. “One must absolutely avoid the misunderstanding of thinking that’s a way to help the pope’s mission.” The Vatican described the soon-to-be published books as “fruit of a grave betrayal of the trust given by the pope, and, as far as the authors go, of an operation to take advantage of a gravely illicit act of handing over confidential documentation,” the Vatican said. Credit: AP Without specifying if the latest arrests were linked to those books, the Vatican said Holy See prosecutors are weighing “further measures, involving, if it is the case, international cooperation.”

Episcopal Church installs first black leader; says ‘God is not finished’ with denomination El Sol de Ohio Special Report
The Episcopal Church has officially installed its first African-American leader, in a ceremony that mixed traditional ritual and a focus on diversity. At the Washington National Cathedral, the Right Rev. Michael Curry of North Carolina made history by becoming the first African-American Presiding Bishop of the Mainline denomination. “Greet your new presiding bishop and his family,” said outgoing Episcopal Church head the Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, the crowded Cathedral breaking out into loud applause. During his sermon as the recently crowned presiding bishop, Curry emphasized a call to renewal for the denomination, proclaiming that “God is not finished with The Episcopal Church yet.” “What God has done in the past, God can do again. God Who parted
Red Seas can do it all over again. The God Who raised the dead to life can do it all over again,” declared Curry. “Jesus did not come here to found a religion or to start an institution. Jesus came to inaugurate, to begin, to catalyze a movement.” In June at the 78th General Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, Curry was elected to become the 27th presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church. One of four candidates for the position, Curry was elected after only one ballot, garnering 121 votes out of a total 174 cast. Union of Black Episcopalians President Annette Buchanan said in a statement following the vote that she was “overwhelmed” and “excited” at Curry’s election. “I had one colleague say that we never thought in our lifetime that we’d live to see a black president of the United States and a black presiding bishop,” stated Buchanan.
“Presiding Bishop-elect Michael Curry is a longtime UBE member. He believes in the Church being inclusive for all, especially African-Americans and Africans of the diaspora, and we are confident that his ministry will expand to all in the church based on the experience that we’ve had with him to date.” The installation service for Curry was a mixture of traditional ritual aspects and modern emphases on racial, cultural, and religious diversity. Musical selections for the service included Latin contemporary, Afro-American gospel, and Native American chanting. Biblical readings were spoken primarily in English, but also some were given in Spanish and Native American languages. During the prayers made over Curry regarding his ministry, two religious leaders that gave prayers represented Judaism and Islam. Credit: The Christian Post
“Prepárense para la persecución”, advierte Billy Graham a iglesias de EEUU El Sol de Ohio Special Report
El reverendo y evangelista de gran trayectoria Billy Graham ha emitido una advertencia por escrito a las iglesias de los Estados Unidos: “Prepararse para la persecución”. Graham señala que las iglesias estadounidenses en gran parte no están familiarizados con la persecución, él dice que la “inmunidad a la persecución que los cristianos en nuestro país han experimentado en los últimos dos o tres siglos, es inusual. En su conjunto, nuestra nación no sabe lo que es la privación. No sabemos lo que es el sacrificio”. “No sabemos qué es el sufrimiento. Persecución. Supongamos que viniera a las iglesias de América, como ha llegado en otros países”, escribió Graham. “Desde que hemos experimentado poco la persecución religiosa en este país, es probable que la presión haga que muchos nieguen a Cristo. Los que griten más fuerte sobre su fe podrían entregarse lo más pronto posible”. Graham, pasó a enumerar cinco maneras para forta-

Al Qaeda llama a unidad de yihadistas para luchar contra EUA y Rusia
El máximo líder de Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, llamó a la unidad de los yihadistas para luchar contra Estados Unidos y Rusia, además pidió el cese de los combates entre los mujaidines (guerreros santos) en Siria. “Hay que unirse, rechazar las disputas y suspender los combates entre los mujaidines”, pidió al-Zawahiri en una grabación de audio difundida en sitios yihadistas y divulgada este domingo en medios árabes. “Los estadunidenses, los rusos, iraníes, alauitas y el Hezbolá están lanzando su guerra contra nosotros. ¿Acaso no somos capaces de dejar de luchar entre nosotros para poder dirigir todos nuestros esfuerzos contra ellos?”, se preguntó el dirigente de Al Qaeda. La grabación, de 16 minutos de duración y cuya autenticidad no ha podido ser verificada, parece indicar un cambio en la postura de Al Qaeda respecto a su rival el Estado Islámico (EI), aunque al-Zawahiri no nombra directamente a ese grupo yihadista. Al-Zawahiri insistió en que “el frente del Sham (el Levante mediterráneo) es un punto clave para liberar Palestina” y agregó que la unión de los mujaidines en esta zona es “la puerta del triunfo”. Asimismo, instó a los mujaidines no gastar sus esfuerzos en matarse entre sí, mientras los cruzados están unidos, en clara alusión al conflicto en Siria entre el Estado Islámico y el Frente al Nusra (rama siria de Al Qaeda). En su mensaje, el máximo líder de Al Qaeda llamó a la unidad de todos los musulmanes, desde Marruecos al Cáucaso y Somalia, para luchar contra Occidente. “Se trata de una batalla global para frenar a los sistemas apóstatas y la alianza de los cruzados y chiítas”. Respecto al tema palestino, al-Zawahiri ha pedido establecer “un Estado Islámico en Egipto y el Sham para movilizar la nación musulmana y liberar Palestina”.

Magnates impulsan legalización de marihuana en California El Sol de Ohio Special Report
La campaña para lograr que California se convierta en otra entidad de Estados Unidos donde los adultos puedan comprar y consumir legalmente marihuana con fines recreativos dio el lunes otro paso importante con la presentación ante el estado del texto que debería incluir la papeleta electoral del año entrante. La iniciativa tiene el apoyo del cofundador de Napster, Sean Parker, y de otros empresarios adinerados, así como de prominentes grupos activistas. La propuesta para la legalización de la marihuana es una de las más de 10 presentadas en California con vistas a los comicios de noviembre de 2016. Sin embargo, los observadores consideran que la llamada Ley para el Consumo de Marihuana entre Adultos tiene las mayores posibilidades de concretarse debido a los considerables recursos, relaciones políticas y credibilidad profesional de quienes la apoyan.
“Creemos que este esfuerzo tiene el respaldo y los recursos para emprender una campaña exitosa a favor del consumo responsable entre los adultos”, dijo el director ejecutivo de la Asociación de la Industria del Cannabis en California, Nate Bradley, cuya organización apoya la medida. Según la medida, se permitiría a los adultos de 21 años o más comprar 28 gramos (una onza) de marihuana y productos que contengan marihuana en tiendas minoristas
autorizadas, así como cultivar hasta seis plantas de la yerba para consumo personal con fines recreativos. El estado tendría autorización para cobrar un impuesto de 15% a las ventas de cannabis, sea para uso médico o recreativo, según la iniciativa. Cuatro personas que trabajaron en la iniciativa dijeron a The Associated Press que el proceso de elaboración de la iniciativa y el trabajo inicial para reclutar patrocinadores y armar un equipo de cam-
paña fue liderado por Parker, cofundador de Napster y primer presidente de Facebook. Esas personas solicitaron el anonimato porque no estaban autorizadas a discutir la participación de Parker o a nombrar a los otros empresarios que se prevé financiarán la campaña hasta que un comité oficial comience a recaudar fondos y esté obligado a cumplir con las leyes de transparencia del estado.

Cancillería entrega reconocimiento a labor de dos mexicanos en NY El Sol de Ohio Special Report
La Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE) reconoció con el premio Ohtli, el máximo galardón otorgado a personas de origen mexicano en Estados Unidos, a dos connacionales por su labor a favor de la comunidad migrante de Nueva York. En una ceremonia privada celebrada en la ciudad de Nueva York, la canciller mexicana Claudia Ruiz Massieu galardonó al empresario y líder comunitario Jaime Lucero y a la religiosa Julia Suárez del Centro Comunitario Saint Jerome Hands, del condado del Bronx. De acuerdo con un comunicado emitido este lunes por el Instituto de Estudios Mexicanos Jaime Lucero, de la Universidad de la Ciudad de Nueva York (CUNY), este empresario poblano fue reconocido por su trayectoria empresarial y por impulsar la educación de otros connacionales.
“Gracias a Don Jaime Lucero por abrir el camino a muchos paisanos que han seguido sus pasos. Hay muchos que han tenido éxito pero no se han dedicado a la comunidad como lo ha hecho Jaime Lucero. Gracias por todo lo que ha hecho”, afirmó Ruiz Massieu, según el comunicado. Fundador de la fábrica de ropa Gold and Silver, cuyos productos se distribuyen a varios almacenes
en Estados Unidos, Lucero es además director de Casa Puebla, organizadora del festival del Cinco de Mayo en Nueva York y promotora de actividades culturales mexicanas en la ciudad. Mientras tanto, desde el Centro Comunitario Saint Jerome Hands, Julia Suárez coordina cursos de alfabetización, inglés básico, computación y entrenamiento laboral con el fin de empoderar a la
comunidad mexicana del condado del Bronx. Creado en 1996 por el Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior de la SRE, el premio Ohtli tiene como propósito reconocer aportes de mexicanos o mexicano-estadunidenses en favor de sus connacionales en Estados Unidos. Hasta el momento, el galardón ha sido entregado a 376 personas.

Supreme Court takes up racial discrimination in jury selection El Sol de Ohio Special Report
The original jury pool for Timothy Foster’s 1987 murder trial in Rome, Ga., included 10 blacks among 95 potential jurors. During the selection process, prosecutors highlighted their names, circled the word “black” on their questionnaires and added handy notations such as “B#1” and “B#2.” After more than half the pool was excused for specific reasons, each side was allowed to make a set number of additional strikes — as long as it wasn’t because of race or gender. On a sheet they labeled “definite NO’s,” prosecutors listed the five remaining black prospects on top, and they ranked them in case “it comes down to having to pick one of the black jurors.” Foster, who is black, was swiftly convicted of murdering an elderly white woman. At sentencing, the prosecutor urged the all-white jury to impose death in order to “deter other people out there in the projects” — where
90% of the residents were black. In a case that would appear to have multiple smoking guns, Foster’s conviction and death sentence will go on trial Monday at the Supreme Court — and so,
too, the process by which judges consider claims of racial discrimination in jury selection. The case is important on two levels. If the justices find that Foster’s constitutional rights were vio-
lated and instruct that he be given a new trial, the ruling could impact the way prosecutors, defense attorneys and trial judges handle jury selection in the future. And because Foster received a death
sentence, it could fuel concerns previously voiced by two justices that the death penalty itself may be unconstitutional — in this case because of racial bias. In capital punishment ca-
ses, where jury selection can take almost as long as the trial itself, “the racial diversity of the jury is everything,” says Stephen Bright, Foster’s lawyer at the Southern Center for Human Rights. Since the high court upheld a controversial form of lethal injection four months ago, eight executions have gone forward in five states — Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Virginia and Florida — and two more are scheduled this year. Dozens of others have been delayed, including all those previously scheduled in Arkansas, Ohio and Oklahoma — the state that won the case in June — because of continuing doubts about the method of execution. Foster’s case raises another concern about the death penalty: racial discrimination in its application and, in particular, in jury selection. Despite the Supreme Court’s 1986 ruling inBatson v. Kentucky that said prosecutors cannot have jurors dismissed because of their race, civil rights groups contend the practice still exists today.
Mexican auto parts industry, the fourth world producer in 2020 El Sol de Ohio Special Report
The president of the National Auto-parts Industry (INA, for its acronym in Spanish), Oscar Albín, said that by 2020, Mexico will move from fifth to fourth place as a global producer of auto parts and it will be placed at the same level of Germany. During his participation in the 13th edition of the Business Summit, he estimated that Mexico is the fifth largest producer of auto parts and undoubtedly, it will be the fourth largest producer in 2020 by the increase of volume production in the country. “If the automotive industry in Mexico is successful, other industries will be benefited as well and the automotive industry expects the production of about 5.2 million vehicles by 2020 with the advent of a greater number of companies,” he explained. Given this growth, the automotive sector, repre-
sented by the Mexican Automotive Industry Association (AMIA, for its acronym in Spanish), and its president Eduardo Solís Sánchez and the INA, made a call to boost research and automotive development. Oscar Albín said that while there are many fundamental elements in Mexi-
co such as engineers, they are not sufficiently trained. With the growth of technology in communications, he said, engineers from developed countries are interested in growing in these companies. Meanwhile, in Mexico, the new generation of engineers is interested in
the automotive sector, although more preparation is needed, Albín said. In this regard, Solís Sánchez, urged legislators to boost tax incentives for research and provide more resources, which in other countries is 100 percent tax-deductible.

Votantes en Ohio rechazan legalizar marihuana El Sol de Ohio Special Report
Los votantes de Ohio rechazaron en las elecciones del 3 de Noviembre la legalización del uso recreativo y medicinal de la marihuana en el estado. El fracaso de la propuesta ocurrió luego de una costosa campaña, de una batalla jurídica sobre la redacción de la boleta electoral y de una investigación a las firmas de petición de la propuesta. La medida conocida como Asunto 3 en la boleta de la votación hubiera permitido a adultos de 21 años o mayores consumir,
comprar o cultivar ciertas cantidades de marihuana. La enmienda constitucional hubiera establecido un esquema regulatorio y fiscal, y la creación de una red de 10 instalaciones de cultivo. Esos sitios de cultivo estuvieron contenidos en la boleta electoral en una pregunta separada que buscaba evitar que monopolios se insertaran en la Constitución de Ohio para beneficio económico de unos cuantos.

Graduating, but to what?
barely had a stable place to live and had moved months earlier to the far edge of town, taking over a dim unit paid for by his aunt after he grew sick of sleeping on a love seat at his grandmother’s cramped place. Davis had little family support; he’d fought with his mother so furiously several years back, his solution now was to simply not see her. He also was graduating with a debt — $1,200, the fine for driving his aunt’s car without insurance and then skipping a court date. Toughest of all, graduation meant stepping into a place providing few examples of something better. His street in Drew consisted of a rusting cotton gin and a row of boarded-up storefronts. His neighborhood had a
thriving drug trade that took place near an abandoned building with “For Colored” painted atop a doorway. His county had a poverty rate nearly three times the national average, at 36 percent. His state had the lowest median income in the nation and the second-highest incarceration rates. He could drive for two hours in any direction without finding a local jobless rate resembling anything near the national average. The Deep South’s paralyzing intergenerational poverty is the devastating sum of problems both historical and emergent — ones that, in the life of a young man, can build in childhood and then erupt in early adulthood. Students such as Davis deal with traumas at home and
dysfunction at school — only to find themselves, as graduates, searching for low-paying jobs in states that have been reluctant to fund programs that help the poor. That cycle carries implications not only for the current generation, but also for the ones to come, and holds back a region that has fallen further behind the rest of the nation. Davis had spent his high school years at Ruleville Central, a one-story, red-brick building built in 1958, where the clocks don’t work and where 55 percent graduate on time, according to state data, well below the state rate of 76 percent. Administrators there had said a day earlier that everything would lock down at nine sharp — part of enforcing
the fire-safety code in a too-small gym. But Davis figured the school would play loose with the rules. So even though he was running late, he pulled a white shirt and a billowy pair of black slacks from the closet and started ironing as the minutes passed. “Boy, you knew yesterday you had to have black slacks and black shoes,” his grandmother Nettie Davis said at 9:20 a.m. “I didn’t know!” he said. “Why are you ironing, Bae Bae?” she asked, using a nickname. “Ain’t nobody going to see that shirt.” Some 15 minutes later, Davis was ready to go. His grandmother and aunt, tired of waiting, had already headed for the gymnasium in a separate car. Davis darted into a cousin’s vehicle, hit the gas and thought about how much easier this would be if he’d simply slept at his grandmother’s house — his home before his aunt and her newborn moved in and it became too crowded. When he swung into the ¬Ruleville student parking lot at 9:48 a.m., 12 minutes before the ceremony was to start, several non-graduates who’d been milling around spotted him in the lot and rushed toward him. “The police locked the doors!” one said, nearly out of breath. Davis sprinted toward a back entrance to the gymnasium, dress shoes crunching gravel, as the others followed. An officer spo-

the day of his high school graduation, like so many of the days before, began with chaos. Ruleville Central had pledged to lock its front doors an hour before the ceremony to prevent a crowd overflow, and Jadareous Davis was still at his grandmother’s home six miles up the road, time slipping away. Davis scanned through his mental checklist. Shoes? His older brother hadn’t yet swung by to drop off a pair. Bow tie? Maybe he could borrow one from a neighbor. Pants? Davis wasn’t even sure whether the dress code mandated black or brown, and he called a friend for help. “Hey, what color pants we supposed to be wearing?” he said over the phone. His grandmother’s voice blared from the other room. “Quarter after nine!” she said. “C’mon, fellas! I don’t want to be locked out.” Davis, 19, was about to graduate from one of the poorest-performing schools in a region of America that offers the bleakest landscape for the young, and the moment came with equal parts excitement and dread: As he entered adulthood, there was no telling when or how all the combustible parts of his life might now blow up. Davis’s senior year had doubled as a reminder about all the hazards. He

tted the commotion and cracked the door for him to slip inside. “Thank you,” Davis gulped. But now he was in a packed gym wondering whether his family had made it. He tried to tune out the band music, and his eyes skipped across the bleachers, scanning for his grandmother and aunt. One side: Not there. The other: Not there. Folding chairs: Nowhere. Davis pushed his way through the gym, into the hallway and toward the front entrance to the school — and only then did he lock eyes with his grandmother. She was outside, pressed against the small window of the front double door, the first in a group of 120 who had arrived too late and were now begging to be let in. “Fire code,” one officer explained, quietly, as he turned his back to the crowd. “We can’t make any exceptions.” “That’s my grandma!” Davis barked. “Bae!” Davis’s grandmother said from the outside. She smacked the window. “Bae!” Davis paced off and came back. The officer wouldn’t negotiate. Davis’s family was trapped outside and would remain there. “Bulls—,” Davis said, and he was wearing his cap and gown, tassel hanging, as he took one final look at his grandmother through the window. “Bulls—,” he said again, and he turned back into the gym to graduate. events, bios, etc. regarding our Spring focus on Cuba.

The Church of 40,000 Corpses By Lindsey Galloway
Photo: Michal Cizek/Getty BBC News
Travellers with a taste for the macabre will have a field day at this gruesome chapel, which is ornately decorated with skeleton chandeliers, hipbone chalices and skull bunting. With every corner of the gruesome Sedlec Ossuary ornately decorated with bones from more than 40,000 skeletons, the Czech Republic’s “Bone Church” offers a very visceral reminder of the inevitability of death. It all started back in 1278, when an abbot from Sedlec, a town 80km east of Prague, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and brought back some soil from the crucifixion site. Upon his return, he spread the dirt across the cemetery of the local church. As word of the sacred sand spread throughout Bohemia, the cemetery became one of the region’s most popular places to be buried. The tradition continued through the 14th Century when the Black Death plague spread throughout Europe: in total nearly 30,000 plague victims from Central Europe were buried here. The Hussite Wars – a 1419 to 1434 series of Roman Catholic crusades against Bohemian reformers – also brought destruction to Sedlec and the nearby city of Kutná Hora; attacks left 10,000 more dead, all buried in the Sedlec cemetery. In the 15th Century, many of the bones were exhu-
med to make way for a Gothic church, and were stacked and placed in pyramids in a new ossuary located underneath the new place of worship. There they remained relatively undisturbed until 1870, when a local woodcarver was hired to make something of beauty from the piles of bones below. And so he did. The bleached bones can be found in fantastic formations throughout the small chapel, from chains of threaded skulls that drape entryways, to chalices constructed with hipbones and femurs, to a full family crest created in tribute to the Bohemian aristocratic Schwarzenberg family that hired the carver back in the 19th Century. But the chapel’s centrepiece is the sprawling chandelier that incorporates every bone in the human body at least once, with skulls staring outward at the end of each of the seven chandelier arms – stationed for an eternal watch.
97-year-old Michigan woman receives high school diploma El Sol de Ohio Special Report
A 97-year-old woman has received an honorary diploma from a Michigan high school, eight decades after she was forced to drop out to help her family. Margaret Thome Bekema finally was able to don a mortarboard and fulfill her lifelong goal in front of her friends and family on Thursday. School administrators from Catholic Central High School in Grand Rapids presented her with the diploma at the Yorkshire and Stonebridge Manor senior com-
munity in Walker. Bekema would have graduated with the Class of 1936, but she left during her junior year to care for her three younger siblings because her mother was ill with cancer. She said leaving school at age 17 broke her heart and she’s thankful for the recognition. Grand Rapids is about 160 miles northwest of Detroit. Credit: AP
