NEW ORLEANS, March30, 2016 (AP): A suburbanNew Orleans court discrimi-nates against Latinos bycharging them for inad-equate English interpretersand making them attendoverpriced, ineffective En-glish classes as a conditionof probation, the SouthernPoverty Law Center saidWednesday in a letter to theU.S. Justice Department.
The SPLC complaintcenters on practices in 1stParish Court of JeffersonParish, which handles traf-fic and misdemeanor cases.The complaint cites theexperience of four peoplewith limited English speak-ing abilities who said inter-preters rushed them throughproceedings and failed toadequately explain theircases.
In some instances, theydid not fully understandwhat they were pleading
WASHINGTON, DC,March 28, 2016 (AP): Presi-dent Barack Obama on Mon-day again bemoaned the po-litical environment sur-rounding this year’s presi-dential elections and calledon journalists to hold candi-dates and themselves to ahigher standard.
Obama spoke at the pre-sentation of the Toner Prize,named for Robin Toner, thefirst woman to be nationalpolitical correspondent forThe New York Times. Dur-ing her nearly 25 years there,Toner covered five presiden-tial campaigns. She passedaway in 2008.
Obama said the No. 1question he gets when trav-eling the world is “What ishappening in America?” Hesaid it’s because peopleabroad understand Americais the place where you“can’t afford completelycrazy politics,” and theycare about the most power-ful nation on earth func-tioning effectively.
“We are all invested inmaking this system work. Weare all responsible for its suc-cess, and it’s not just for theUnited States that this mat-ters, it matters for the planet,”Obama said.
Obama returnedfrom his trip to Cubalast week and recalledthe news conferencehe held jointly withCuban President RaúlCastro. He describedthe event as remark-able as the two leaderswere forced to answertough questions thatwere televised to Cu-bans, and the world.
“I don’t know ex-actly what it will mean forCuba’s future,” he said. “Ithink it made a big differenceto the Cuban people. I can’tthink of a better example ofwhy a free press is so vital tofreedom.”
Obama called on thebroadcast networks and pro-ducers to give reporters roomto follow their instincts anddig deeper. He said Tonerproved that something can besubstantive and interesting.He said elections to her werenot a horse race, or about scor-ing the most political points,but were about issues.
“A job well done is aboutmore than just handingsomeone a microphone. It’sto probe and to question andto dig deeper and to demandmore,” Obama said. “Theelectorate would be better
served if that happened. Itwould be better served ifbillions of dollars in freemedia came with seriousaccountability, especiallywhen politicians issue un-workable plans or makepromises they cannotkeep.”
Obama says he under-stands there are pressures“to feed the beast” withmore gossipy, softer stories,but that leads to consumersfailing to understand theworld as well as theyshould, which has conse-quences for the country.
The Toner Prize wasawarded to ProPublica’sAlec MacGillis for storieson campaign finance, lob-bying and other influ-ences on politics and gov-ernance.
guilty to, the complaint says.For instance, Omar Roman-Velasquez said interpretersrushed him through variouscourt proceedings and hewound up pleading guiltyto one offense—drivingwith an expired inspectionsticker—that he would liketo have disputed.
As a condition of proba-tion, he and others were or-dered to attend Englishclass.
The class to which thosewith limited English abili-ties are sent, the complaintsays, “does not usefullyteach English.”
And it’s expensive.“The court’s English
class costs approximately$300 for ten weeks, whilethe local Catholic Charitiescharges approximately $25for a semester of Englishclasses,” the complaint says.
Court administratorBeatrice Parisi declined im-
mediate comment, sayingshe had not yet seen thecomplaint.
The complaint alsoraises questions of con-flicts of interest. GermanNoe George, 33, is anotherof the four mentioned inthe complaint. He pleadedguilty to various trafficcharges in the court and,as a condition of proba-tion, enrolled in an En-glish class taught by awoman who also is listedby the court as an inter-preter.
The SPLC said thatwould pose a conflict be-cause the woman couldpotentially profit from theconviction of defendantsshe is supposed to help.
Latinos make up about14 percent of the popula-tion in Jefferson Parish, theSPLC said in a news re-lease accompanying thecomplaint.

WASHINGTON, DC, 29 III 16(AP): Unos hablan de resolverfavorablemente la situación de los11 millones de extranjeros que secree están en Estados Unidos sinpermiso legal. Otros secomprometen a hacer lo posiblepor expulsarlos del país.
Los contrastes entre laspropuestas de demócratas yrepublicanos sobre el tema de lainmigración ilegal no podrían sermás amplios.
Mientras que los demócratasHillary Clinton y Bernie Sand-ers dicen que darían prioridad auna reforma integral a las leyesde inmigración que incluya laopción de la naturalización a losinmigrantes no autorizados, losrepublicanos Donald Trump yTed Cruz plantean aumentar lasdeportaciones, culminar laconstrucción de un muro a lolargo de la frontera con Méxicoy anular los alivios del presidenteBarack Obama para 5 millonesde personas.
“El abismo entre demócratas yrepublicanos se está haciendo másgrande, y las consecuencias nuncahan sido más obvias”, dijo a laAssociated Press Lynn Tramonte,subdirectora del grupo America’sVoice, que defiende los interesesde los inmigrantes sin autorizaciónde residencia. Pero las diferenciasentre los candidatos de un mismopartido son sutiles.
Clinton y Sanders tienenpropuestas generalmentefavorables a los extranjeros queestán en el país sin permiso.Quieren regularizar su status sinrecurrir a la deportación, siempre ycuando no hayan cometido delitosviolentos o no representen unriesgo a la seguridad nacional.
Ambos hablan de mantener losprogramas de alivio migratorioque dejaron en suspenso lasdeportaciones de cinco millonesde personas, en su mayoríainmigrantes que fueron traídos porsus padres cuando eran niños.
Sanders cerraría los centros dedetención de inmigrantesmanejados por empresas privadasy ampliaría el alivio migratorio atodas las personas que han resididoen Estados Unidos sin autorizaciónal menos cinco años para queincluya a los nueve millones depersonas a las que hubieraamparado el proyecto de leyaprobado por el Senado en 2013.
La iniciativa de ley del 2013,que se estancó en la cámara baja,habría beneficiado a losinmigrantes que residieran enEstados Unidos sin autorizaciónel 31 de diciembre de 2011, siempreque no tuvieran antecedentescriminales, estuvieran empleados,pagaran impuestos de forma
WASHINGTON, DC, 29III 16 (AP): Principalespropuestas sobre lainmigración ilegal de losaspirantes a la presidenciade Estados Unidos:
Donald Trump:• Crear una brigada
dedicada específicamentepara deportar a los 11millones de inmigrantes noautorizados.
• Permitir el reingreso le-gal a Estados Unidos deaquellos deportados quecumplan requisitos aún sindefinir.
• Anular el aliviodispuesto por el presidenteBarack Obama para protegerde la deportación y concederpermisos temporales detrabajo a cinco millones deinmigrantes no autorizados.
• Derogar el derechoautomático a lan a c i o n a l i d a destadounidense pornacimiento.
• Deportarautomáticamente aextranjeros conantecedentes criminales.
• Mantener encarceladosa inmigrantes noautorizados desde su arrestohasta su deportación.
• Multar a los extranjerosque permanezcan enEstados Unidos con una visavencida.
• Crear un sistema paraidentificar a los extranjerosque permanecen en EstadosUnidos con visas vencidas.
• Completar un murofronterizo a lo largo de lafrontera con México, ytraspasar a ese país el costoincautando remesasprovenientes de salariospercibidos ilegalmente,incrementando las tarifas devisas solicitadas porcapitanes de empresa ydiplomáticos mexicanos, delas tarjetas fronterizas queun millón de mexicanossolicita cada año y en lospuntos de entrada aéreo yterrestre. También a travésde posibles arancelescomerciales y recortes de lacooperación bilateral.
• Triplicar la cantidad deagentes migratorios.
• Darle carácterobligatorio al E-Verify.
• Negar fondos federalesa las ciudades que rehúsancooperar con las autoridadesmigratorias, conocidastambién como “CiudadesSantuario”.
• Detener la migraciónlegal durante uno o dos años.
Ted Cruz:• Deportar a los 11
millones de inmigrantes noautorizados empleando lasleyes y los organismosexistentes.
• Durante su primer díacomo presidente, anular elalivio dispuesto por elpresidente Barack Obamapara proteger de ladeportación y concederpermisos temporales detrabajo a cinco millones deinmigrantes no autorizados.
• Derogar el derecho
retroactiva y multas por 2.000dólares y aprendieran inglés, en-tre otros requisitos.
En el otro extremo, Trump yCruz proponen deportar a todoslos inmigrantes sin autorización,anular los alivios temporales quedispuso el gobierno de BarackObama y completar el muro a lolargo de toda la frontera conMéxico.
NumbersUSA, unaorganización que postula reducirla cantidad de inmigrantes querecibe Estados Unidos, critica aTrump porque no ha dichoespecíficamente si mantendría lalotería anual de 50.000residencias permanentes ni sieliminaría la opción queactualmente tienen los residentespermanentes de solicitar el ingresolegal de parientes no inmediatos.Cruz descartó ambasposibilidades.
Trump, por otro lado, planteadarle carácter obligatorio a E-Verify, un programa del gobiernofederal que permite a los patronosdeterminar si sus empleados estánautorizados para trabajar enEstados Unidos, y detener lamigración legal durante uno odos años.
Cruz se ha referido a lanecesidad de contar con un E-Verify “sólido”, aunque sinespecificar si su uso seráobligatorio.
Los dos candidatosrepublicanos proponen asimismotriplicar la cantidad de agentes dela Patrulla Fronteriza, negarfondos federales a las ciudadesque rehúsen a cooperar con lasautoridades migratorias paraidentificar a inmigrantes noautorizados y eventualmentedeportarlos, y modificar laConstitución para eliminar elderecho a la nacionalidadestadounidense por nacimiento.
Pero a diferencia de Cruz,Trump ha especificado que aspiratrasladar a México el costo determinar de construir el murofronterizo, incautando remesasprovenientes de salariospercibidos, según dice,ilegalmente, incrementando lastarifas de las visas solicitadas porcapitanes de empresa ydiplomáticos mexicanos, de lastarjetas fronterizas que un millónde mexicanos reclama cada añoen los puntos de entrada aéreo yterrestre.
Trump, por otro lado, dejaabierta la posibilidad de imponeraranceles comerciales y recortarla cooperación bilateral a Méxicosi no colabora. El comercio bilat-eral supera los 500.000 millonesde dólares cada año.
El magnate se distingue de
Cruz en otra propuesta: ha dichoque permitiría el reingreso aEstados Unidos de aquellosdeportados que reúnanrequisitos aún por definir.
John Kasich, el tercerprecandidato republicano queya no tiene posibilidades dereunir la cantidad requerida dedelegados antes de laconvención, ha dicho que deconvertirse en presidentebuscará culminar el murofronterizo, ampliará unprograma de trabajadoresinvitados y permitirá lalegalización de aquellos sinantecedentes penales.
Una convención partidistaque permita a sus delegados votarpor el candidato de su elección_siempre que Trump no obtengalos 1.237 delegadosnecesarios—es la únicaposibilidad de que Kasich seconvierta en el candidatopresidencial republicano.
Entre los demócratas, Sand-ers ha criticado a Clinton poroponerse en 2007 a unainiciativa para otorgar licenciasde conducir a inmigrantes sinautorización. Escasos díasdespués de lanzar su candidaturael año pasado, Clinton se declaróa favor de otorgar las licencias deconducir, tal como ocurre enCalifornia, Colorado, Nevada yotros siete estados de la nación.
Por su parte, Clinton haseñalado a Sanders por habervotado en contra de un proyectode reforma migratoriapatrocinado en 2007 por elsenador Ted Kennedy. Elsenador por Vermont hajustificado su voto porconsiderar como abusivas lascondiciones vigentes en unprograma de trabajadoresinvitados contenido en lalegislación.
La League of United LatinAmerican Citizens se opuso en2007 al proyecto de ley alegandoque el programa de trabajadoresinvitados no contemplaba unaopción realista para la residenciapermanente al eliminar cuatro decinco posibilidades paraobtenerla a través de parientes eimplementaba un sistema sinprecedentes de puntuación pormérito.
Tramonte, de America’sVoice, dijo que el mensajemigratorio en la campaña internademócrata “ha evolucionado deforma muy positiva”, ymencionó como evidencia queambos equipos de campañaincluyen a jóvenes protegidosde la deportación tras haber sidotraídos a Estados Unidos sinautorización cuando eran niños.

SAN ANTONIO, March31, 2016 (AP): As one versionof the story goes, a cripplingperformance evaluation waspushing then-Brig. Gen.Colin L. Powell’s militarycareer toward a dead end whentwo higher-ranking com-manders learned of it.
The two generals were hor-rified to hear Powell tell themover dinner in 1982 that heplanned to leave the Army.One of them was a legendaryTexas war hero, Gen. RichardE. Cavazos, who decided tointervene.
It came as no surprise to thosewho knew Cavazos that he wentout of his way to keep Powell inthe Army. The first and onlyLatino four-star general, he isnow 85, living his last days, hisonce-encyclopedic mind rav-aged by dementia.
It’s painful for those he ledand mentored. Some weepwhen talking of it.
In recent interviews, theydescribed Cavazos as loyal andfearless, a master tactician, aninnovator, a charismaticsoldier’s soldier. He served as arole model for every Hispanicgeneral who came up throughthe ranks, retired Army Maj.Gen. Alfredo Valenzuela toldthe San Antonio Express-News(http://bit.ly/22MH6PY).
In Powell’s autobiography,the man who became the firstAfrican-American chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff and,later, U.S. secretary of state,called Cavazos an Army leg-end who saved his career.
The other commander at thedinner table that night, now-retired Lt. Gen. Julius BectonJr., recalled that Powell had apersonality conflict with hissupervisor and had suffered forit.
“And what got my atten-tion, and it got Dick’s attention,too, was when Colin said he wasprobably going to put in hispapers,” said Becton, of FortBelvoir, Virginia, now 89.
Powell confirmed the ac-count through a spokesman.
Cavazos, while he still has afirm handshake, doesn’t talkmuch. He sat in his wheelchairin a San Antonio nursing homerecently and stared gently at hiswife, Caroline, as they heldhands.
Asked about his father, aWorld War I veteran whoworked on the legendary KingRanch, he replied, “I’m reallytaken by the building. It ap-peared out of nowhere.”
There are better days.Caroline Cavazos, 83, is hisconstant companion, living ashort walk away at the ArmyResidence Community on theNortheast Side. Each night, shehelps put him to bed. He’s oftenanxious, so she climbs into bedand hugs him. In time, he fallsasleep.
“‘He just wants to know thatI’m here,” she explained. “Wedon’t talk much. I hug him. It’samazing. I’m still in love withhim.”
How Cavazos became a His-panic icon was rooted in hischildhood on the King Ranch
and forged in Korea, where hisfluency in Spanish helped himlead a once-shamed PuertoRican Army National Guardregiment to combat distinc-tion and where he risked hislife to recover men left behind.
“He’s one of these kind ofguys in the military, we used tosay, ‘He looked good from thetop’ _ the commanders, hiscommanders, thought theworld of him—and he lookedgood from the bottom, becauseevery troop thought the worldof him,” said Charles Carden,one of his company command-ers in Vietnam.
“He was such a good sol-dier,” added retired Gen. Gor-don Sullivan, a former Armychief of staff. “He was born thatway. He liked men, he likedcombat soldiers. He was coura-geous, and they knew it, andthey knew he couldn’t ask themto do anything that he wouldn’tdo with them.”
Richard Edward Cavazoshad a theory of leadership thathe attributed to the great com-manders of history. He called it“moral ascendancy” and saidthose who possessed it had anedge, an aura of superiority.
Cavazos had it—and itmade him the best Army gen-eral in a century, said retired Lt.Gen. Marc Cisneros, who wasone of Cavazos’ battalion com-manders in the 2nd ArmoredDivision at Fort Hood.
“He would talk about Gen.Lee, and that one of the reasonsGen. Lee was superior is be-cause he had moral ascendancyover his Union generals,” saidCisneros, 76, of CorpusChristi. “If the troops had trustand that faith in you, that youwere going to lead them well tovictory, that’s moral ascen-dancy.”
Cavazos was the son of aMexican-American cowhand.His father, Lauro Cavazos,came to Kingsville in 1912,fought as an Army artillerysergeant in World War I andbecame a foreman of the KingRanch’s Santa Gertrudis divi-sion in an era of intense racism.
Being handy with a rope,horses and guns came with thejob. Tom Lea’s history of theranch describes LauroCavazos as among the 16“Kinenos” and guests, includ-ing eight Army soldiers, whorepulsed an hours-long attackby 58 cross-border raiders at ahouse in Norias in 1915 duringan era of guerrilla violencespun off from the MexicanRevolution.
Lauro and ThomasaQuintanilla Cavazos were de-termined to give their childrena life beyond the ranch and putall five of them through col-lege. Lauro Cavazos Jr. becamethe U.S. education secretaryunder President George H.W.Bush.
Dick Cavazos, their secondson, got a degree in geologyfrom Texas Tech University,playing football until breakinga leg in his senior year. Study-ing alongside World War IIveterans made an impression.
“He said if you weren’t a
serious student after you got alook at them, you were whenyou did,” Vietnam journalistand author Joe Galloway said.“Those guys had lost five yearsof their lives, and they were insuch a hurry to get it back andget on with their lives that theywere total, zero-BS students.And you didn’t want to be sit-ting in a classroom with them ifyou were anything less thanthey were.”
Cavazos served in ROTCbefore entering the Army. Even-tually, he would lead a brigade,a division and an Army corpsand finally command all sol-diers in the continental UnitedStates before retiring in 1984.
But first, he led a companyin Korea and a battalion in Viet-nam, where he learned thatmistakes were as instructive assuccess.
In Korea, he dressed down asergeant who shot an enemysoldier who could have beencaptured. Cavazos then de-cided to lead the next patrol,and his adrenaline took overwhen he encountered a NorthKorean soldier who was carry-ing pots and pans—a cook,Cisneros said.
“And he said, ‘Guess what Idid? I put that mother on fullautomatic and that was the endof it.”’ Cisneros said. “Beforeyou chew somebody out, youhave to understand that youcould probably be in that samesituation.”
Cavazos’ first combat camewith the Puerto Rican regimentmonths after its troops fled theirobservation post, resulting inthe court-martial of more than90 soldiers. He was awarded aSilver Star, the nation’s third-highest decoration for battle-field gallantry, for leading asmall group of men to capturean enemy soldier under fire inFebruary 1953.
That summer, he earned aDistinguished Service Cross forwithdrawing his company fromHill 412 amid heavy shellingand rifle fire and going back tolook for missing Americantroops. He found five and“evacuated them, one at a time,to a point on the reverse slopeof the hill from which theycould be removed,” states thecitation for the medal, the sec-ond-highest award for valor.
“Lt. Cavazos then made twomore trips . searching for casu-alties and evacuating scatteredgroups of men who had be-come confused,” it continued.“Not until he was assured thatthe hill was cleared did he al-low treatment of his ownwounds.”
As a colonel in Vietnam, heearned another DSC, in 1967,for organizing a counterattackagainst a battalion-sized en-emy force that hit one of hiscompanies near Loc Ninh.
“When the fightingreached such close quartersthat supporting fire could nolonger be used, he completelydisregarded his own safety andpersonally led a determinedassault on the enemy posi-tions,” the DSC citation said.“The Viet Cong were overrun
and fled their trenches.”Carden, 77, of Biloxi, Mis-
sissippi, was then a captain. Heobserved his boss calmly sit-ting by a tree and waiting for around of artillery fire, “abso-lutely fearless.”
“They brought in napalm,”said Ronnie Campsey, 73, aprivate first class from Devinewho now lives in Long Island,New York. “You could feel theheat from the napalm just tak-ing the breath out of you. That’show close we were to it. Youcould see the enemy movingup the hill to get away from theartillery and the air support.”
Cavazos “directed artilleryfire on the hilltop, and the in-surgents were destroyed as theyran,” the citation states.
Bill Fee, a private first classin Campsey’s company whowas badly wounded two dayslater, said most battalion com-manders coordinated groundattacks and search-and-destroymissions by radio from defen-sive perimeters or from heli-copters.
“Cavazos would have noneof that. He was on the ground,”said Fee, 68, of Cincinnati. “Hefought with us side by side,and he earned our respect.”
Cavazos’ determination to
share whathe hadl e a r n e dh e l p e ds h a p et o d a y ’ sArmy. Hewas an earlysupporter ofthe Na-t i o n a lT r a i n i n gCenter atFort Irwin,California, a vast desert rangeused to prepare troops for dutyin Iraq and Afghanistan. Hewas influential in developingthe Army’s Battle CommandTraining Program for higher-ranking officers.
Cavazos would never be-tray a friend, even if it couldhurt his chances of promo-tion, Becton recalled. And wellinto his retirement, he was stillteaching officers how to fight.
Sullivan, the retired Armychief of staff, said Cavazoshad “a real knack for beingable to mentor people, verysenior people, that was veryopen, very candid, and guysresponded” because of his ex-perience and credibility.
“They would put them in atent with their radios and make

Cavazos’ real effect was inthe hearts of those he led.

CIUDAD DE MEXICO,30 III 16 (AP): Los milagrosno son enormes, pueden estaren los pequeños sucesos dela vida como la bondad de lagente o la lucha de una fa-milia. Así lo presenta lapelícula “Miracles fromHeaven” (“Los milagros delcielo”) de la directoramexicana Patricia Riggen,protagonizada por JenniferGarner y Eugenio Derbez.
Garner interpreta a ChristyBeam, cuya hija Anna sufreuna enfermedad intestinalque no le permite comer. Suestado de salud es tan graveque decide viajar al otro ladode Estados Unidos paraencontrar al doctor SamuelNurko, un prestigiadogastroenterólogo mexicanointerpretado por Derbez. Perotras sufrir una caída de cabezade un árbol, la niñainexplicablemente se cura desu enfermedad mortal.
Inspirada en hechosreales, la cinta se basa en ellibro homónimo de Beamsobre la experiencia de sufamilia.
“La primera pregunta quetuve para el doctor Nurko eldía que lo conocí fue, ‘aquíentre nos, de cuates, ¿quétan cierto fue el caso deAnna? ¿Fue realmente talcomo lo cuentan en lapelícula o está exagerado?”’,recordó el actor en una
entrevista con The Associ-ated Press en México apropósito del estreno deljueves en este país.
“Y me dijo que sí sucediótal cual y que no tienenexplicación, que es unaenfermedad incurable, perolo que le sucedió a esta niñaes muy extraño. Le decía yo‘¿entonces sí es un milagro?...Se negaba como hombre deciencia, me decía ‘loshombres de ciencia nopodemos hablar demilagros”’
“Un poquito la temáticade la película es que abramoslos ojos a ver que la vida es unmilagro en sí. Todos los díasa nuestro alrededor sucedenmilagros, lo que pasa es queya estamos tan acostumbradosa verlos que ya los damos porhecho”, dijo Derbez.
Remisión espontánea, eltérmino médico con el que sedefine una enfermedad quese cura repentinamente, fuelo que le sucedió a Anna,quien en la película esinterpretada por KylieRogers. La joven actriztambién tuvo oportunidad deconocer a su “original” du-rante el rodaje.
“Nos volvimos amigas, esuna de mis mejores amigas,es divertida, amable y linda,tiene mucha energía, te damucha energía”, dijo Rogers.“La película es muy emotiva
y tenía mucharesponsabilidad con estepapel, fue un honor hacerlo”.
La película se estrenó amediados de marzo en EstadosUnidos y recibió críticaspositivas. Producida con 12millones de dólares, habíarecaudado hasta el fin desemana pasado 34,3 millonestras dos semanas en cartelera,colocándose en el cuarto lugarde la taquilla estadounidenseincluso consuperproducciones como“Batman vs Superman” y“Zootopia” en oferta. Nadamal para la directora de “Lamisma luna” y “Girl inProgress”, las otras películasde Riggen en las que haaparecido Derbez.
“Soy fan de Patricia”, dijoel actor. “Aprendomuchísimo de ella, es el di-rector más exigente con elque he trabajado. Comobuena mujer tiene manodurísima, muy dura. Tieneuna sensibilidad maravillosay sabe leerte y sabe sacarte lomejor de ti”.
Riggen es originaria deGuadalajara. Como mujer,directora y mexicana haobservado de cerca el debatesobre la igualdad de géneroque ha cobrado fuerza en Hol-lywood.
“En términos de lasmujeres ha habido muy pocosavances, está muy fuerte la
polémica ahorita porquehan hecho muchosestudios y han sacado todaslas estadísticas y ya estácomprobadísima ladiscriminación rampanteque hay”, dijo la cineastanacida en 1970. “Se estáhaciendo conciencia, creoque hay ya un interésverdaderamente fuerte deciertos canales detelevisión y en lasuniversidades de darle másoportunidades a la mujeres.Ojalá que empiecen a verlos cambios pronto”.
Su proyecto anterior fue“Los 33”, una cintaprotagonizada por AntonioBanderas y Juliette Binochesobre los mineros chilenosque pasaron 69 díasatrapados a más de 600metros (más de 2.000 pies)bajo tierra en 2010. En esacinta también había unmensaje de esperanza y fe.
“Yo creo que fuecoincidencia, pero sí se meda bien hacer películas quehablen de la bondadhumana, de cómo si uno sehunde y lucha puede lograrmilagros y en este casocomo en ‘Los 33’ hubo unalucha de esta familia, hubomuchas personas alrededorque trataron de ayudarlos”,dijo Riggen. “Quizá es algoque yo le tomo a laspelículas”.

He retired from thefederal bench earlier thisyear.
“It’s a massive undertak-ing,” said White followingthe swearing-in ceremony.“While a lot of work hasbeen done by many dedi-cated people in this roomand beyond, there’s cer-tainly the lion’s share of thisproject yet to come.”
The consent decree was

finalized last year after a fed-eral investigation found theCleveland Police Depart-ment engaged in a pattern ofexcessive force. The 66-yearold former Marine and Viet-nam War veteran will ensuredeadlines are being met andcoordinate all activities nec-essary for compliance withthe consent decree.
White attended LorainCounty Community Collegeand graduated from Kent StateUniversity in 1973 with abachelor’s degree in criminaljustice and police administra-tion. He earned his law degreefrom Cleveland MarshallCollege.
Mayor Frank Jackson ad-mitted Friday he felt the posi-tion was necessary becausehe, police administrators andthe Cleveland’s law directorwere splitting time trying tomeet deadlines and managethe moving pieces of the fed-eral court settlement.
“But there was no coordi-nation of it all. That’s why wemet every Monday morningto kind of brief each otherwhat was going on. Now thejudge will do that. He willhave that authority,” Jacksonsaid.
Among other tasks, cityofficials are drafting a newuse-of-force policy and a newofficer-recruitment policy andstrategy. Cleveland city offi-cials entered the settlementlast May, but are currentlyworking through a first-yearplan approved by a judge in
February.The agreement was
prompted by the two-yearDepartment of Justice inves-tigation, which was con-ducted at the request ofCleveland’s mayor. The Jus-tice Dept. reviewed nearly 600use-of-force incidents from2010 to 2013 and conductedthousands of interviews. In-vestigators found systemicpatterns, insufficient ac-countability mechanisms, in-adequate training, ineffectivepolicies, and inadequate com-munity engagement.
The consent decree man-dates sweeping changes intraining for recruits and sea-soned officers, developingprograms to identify and sup-port troubled officers, updat-ing technology and datamanagement practices, andan independent monitor toensure that the goals of thedecree are met.

ATLANTA, March 29,2016 (AP): The trajectory ofopioid deaths in the UnitedStates is trending in the wrongdirection and has to be movedto the top of the federalgovernment’s radar screenalong with the threat of terror-ism and promoting a strongeconomy, President BarackObama said Tuesday.
Obama said more peopleare being killed from opioidoverdoses than from traffic ac-cidents. “I think the publicdoesn’t fully appreciate yet thescope of the problem,” Obamatold about 2,000 people at-tending the National Rx DrugAbuse & Heroin Summit.
Obama’s appearance at theconference came as his admin-istration issued proposed regu-lations and announced newfunding for states to purchaseand distribute the opioid over-dose reversal drug, naloxone,and to train first responders andothers on its use. The actionsalso coincide with a commit-ment from 60 medical schoolsto heighten training for pre-scribing opioids.
Opioids are highly addic-tive drugs that include bothprescription painkillers likecodeine and morphine, as wellas illegal narcotics, primarilyheroin. Deaths linked to opio-ids soared to more than 29,000in 2014, the highest number onrecord.
Congress is attempting toallocate more resources to con-front the problem, one of fewareas where bipartisan agree-ment may be reached duringthe election year. But the WhiteHouse is critical of a Senate bill
it says lacks critical funding.Obama is seeking $1.1 billionin new money to expand treat-ment for opioid addiction,which is about triple currentlevels.
“The problem we have rightnow is treatment isunderfunded,” Obama said.
Republican senators notethat the authorization bill,along with $400 million ap-propriated a few months ear-lier for opioid-specific pro-grams, would still make im-portant strides.
Obama spoke during apanel discussion with doctorsand recovered drug addicts.He said drug addiction in thepast has been treated as a lawenforcement problem, whilethe public viewed it as a char-acter flaw. Obama said theopioid epidemic shows thataddiction can reach every-body.
Obama alluded to his druguse as a youth and said he wasin many ways lucky that ad-diction “didn’t get its claws inme.” An ex-smoker, he notedthe exception was nicotine.
Obama said the U.S. cancut opioid abuse in the sameway it has lowered tobaccouse and traffic fatalities.
White House officials saidthat most of the additional$1.1 billion that Obama seeksto battle opioid addictionwould fund agreements withstates to expand medication-assisted treatment.
Along those lines, the De-partment of Health and Hu-man Services issued a pro-posed rule allowing physi-cians who prescribe
Buprenorphine to give it tomore patients to help them re-duce or quit their use of heroinor other opiates. The proposedrule would expand the limitfrom 100 patients to 200.
The department also is issu-ing guidance to programs thatallow intravenous drug addictsto trade dirty syringes for cleanones. Congress recently al-lowed federal money to be usedfor certain expenses, such asstaff and equipment, but not forsyringes themselves.
Officials also are focused onbetter educating prescribers.The Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention recentlyissued new guidelines statingthat physical therapy, exerciseand over-the-counter painmedication should be usedbefore turning to painkillerslike morphine and oxycodone.Sixty universities will an-nounce that their students willhave to learn prescriber infor-mation in line with the newguidelines in order to graduate.
Health officials who addressthe conference earlier Tuesdaysaid doctor training will be key.
“Changes must start withus,” said Dr. Patrice Harris, chair-man of an American MedicalAssociation task force on thecrisis.
She said there have beensome signs of progress. For thepast two years, the total numberof prescriptions for opioids hasdecreased.
“Physicians have changedtheir prescribing practices formany reasons, which is a goodsign, a sign of progress, but Ithink we all can agree that thereis more work to do,” Harris said.
