“Jamás ha perpetrado niperpetrará acciones de estanaturaleza, ni ha permitido nipermitirá que su territorio seautilizado por terceros con esepropósito”, explicó la misión

Desde finales del año pasado,por lo menos 21 miembros de lacomunidad diplomáticaestadounidense en La Habanahan presentado síntomasdiversos, incluyendo daño ce-rebral, que se presume fueroncausados por alguna clase deataque sónico. El incidente másreciente fue en agosto.

The agents showed him aphoto on a cellphone of a His-panic man that they were search-ing for that they believed washim, according to the couple.
The only thing he and theman in photo have in commonis that they are both Hispanic,said Andrade-Tafolla, who is aU.S. citizen.
The agents left after a sepa-

“It was frightening, disturb-ing, humiliating and I’m stilltrying to process beingstopped because of my colorand my race,” he said.
ICE spokeswoman Vir-ginia Kice declined to com-ment on the encounter, butsaid in an email that ICE offic-ers are required to identifythemselves when conductingofficial duties. The agents canuse placards and clothing toidentify themselves, she said.

Univision y Telemundo apoyan a víctimasdesastres naturales
MADRID, 21 IX 17 (AP):El líder catalán CarlesPuigdemont, quien encabezael movimiento secesionistade Cataluña, era undesconocido para la mayoríade los españoles hasta haceun año. Ahora, mientraspromete celebrar unreferéndum independentistael 1 de octubre consideradoilegal por el gobierno centralen Madrid, es un nombreconocido por muchos,aunque probable-mente nomuy popular.
Puigdemont es un experiodista que desde hacetiempo tiene vínculos conel movimientoindependentista, adiferencia de muchos delos integrantes del PartidoDemócrata EuropeoCatalán. Muchos de susmiembros comenzaron aapoyar la separación de laregión apenas hace cincoaños.
Sin embargo el hombre de54 años, que nación en elmunicipio de Amer,Calatuña, nunca fue elegidopor voto popular para elpuesto que tiene. Al contrario,se convirtió en el defensormás visible del movimientopor accidente.
El ex presidente de laGeneralidad de CataluñaArtur Mas tuvo que elegirlocomo sucesor en un
desesperado intento paraobtener el apoyoparlamentario del partidoCandidatura de Unidad Popu-lar (CUP) y mantener vivo elmovimiento de secesión.
La coalición Junts pel Sí(Juntos por el Sí en catalán) ylos radicales de la CUPganaron por una ligeramayoría menos del 50% devotos en las elecciones de2015. Sin embargo, la CUPexigió que se removiera delpuesto a Mas, a quienvincularon con escándalosde corrupción en la región, acambio de su apoyo. Unaoferta de último minuto dePuigdemont como remplazoconvenció a la CUP depermanecer con elmovimiento en gran partedebido al apoyo de Mas a laseparación.
Aunque al principio fuerechazado por muchosespañoles, Puigdemont haprobado ser un líder formi-dable por derecho propio,logrando mantener unida lacoalición destartalada deconservadores, izquierdistasy radicales que están en con-tra del poder que refuerzan sugobierno y su impulso por laindependencia.
Al principio Puigdemonthabía prometido laindependencia para 2017,pero más tarde reconoció quetardaría más tiempo.

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO,21 IX 17 (AP): Ladesesperación se incrementaentre familiares que hastahace poco albergaban laesperanza de rescatesrápidos, en momentos en quelas autoridades y voluntariosseguían por tercer díaconsecutivo la búsqueda deposibles sobrevivientes en-tre los escombros de edificiosderruidos en la Ciudad deMéxico.
Y a lo que muchos sehabían aferrado como unejemplo de un posible triunfode la vida sobre la muerteresultó un caso de completadesinformación: laSecretaría de Marina anuncióel jueves que no habíaninguna niña atrapada entrelos restos de una escuelacolapsada en el sur de la capi-tal, pese a que por dos días lasautoridades se afanaron enuna búsqueda desesperadapor la supuesta menor queatrajo la atención dentro yfuera de México.
El mismo día, laSecretaría de Gobernacióninformó que la cifra total defallecidos por el sismo de 7,1que sacudió el centro deMéxico se incrementó a 273,incluidos 137 en la capital.La dependencia informó enun comunicado que tambiénhubo 73 muertos en Morelos,43 en Puebla, 13 en el Estadode México, seis en Guerreroy uno en Oaxaca.
Más de 2.000 personas
SAN JUAN, 21 IX 17(AP): El cielo se oscurecíael jueves por la tarde cuandola niña de 10 años SarahJiménez puso tres cubetasde plástico en el patio de lacasa de su abuela pararecolectar el agua de lalluvia.
“Podemos usarla parapoder limpiar los baños”,dijo a su abuela.
El huracán María azotóla isla de Puerto Rico y a supaso dejó zonas inundadas,casas destrozadas y al menosa dos personas muertas.
Pero además millones dehabitantes enfrentan laprobabilidad de quedarsesin energía por semanas oquizás meses. La tormentainhabilitó la red de energíaen todo el territorio, con unapoblación de 3,4 millonesde personas, dejando avarios sin energía en sushogares e imposibilitadospara cocinar, bombear aguao encender los ventiladores,sistemas de aireacondicionado orefrigeradores.
Como consecuencia dela falta de electricidad,Jiménez y otras personasbuscaron gas para cocinar,comenzaron a recolectar elagua de la lluvia y seprepararon mentalmente paraenfrentar el calor tropical.
Hubo quienes consideraronabandonar la isla.
“No puedes vivir aquí sinelectricidad”, dijo Héctor Ll-anos, un policía de NuevaYork retirado de 78 años,quien planeaba dejar elsábado el territorio para irse aEstados Unidos continental yvivir ahí temporalmente.
Como muchospuertorriqueños, Llanos notiene un generador o una estufade gas. “Lo único que tengoes una linterna”, dijo al mismotiempo que movía su cabeza.“Esto nunca va a volver a lanormalidad”, expresó.
El número de muertes queha causado María en el Caribees de por lo menos 19, lamayoría de ellas en la isla deDominica. En Puerto Rico, elgobierno informó que almenos dos personasfallecieron, pero los mediosde comunicación en la islaestaban reportando másmuertes. Es probable que unnúmero real de muertos no seconozca en los próximos días.
Para el jueves por la tarde,María se alejaba de la costanorte de RepúblicaDominicana con vientos de195 kilómetros por hora (120millas por hora). Se pronosticaque la tormenta se acerque alas Islas Turcas y Caicos y alas Bahamas la noche deljueves y la madrugada del
viernes.A partir de ese punto, se
prevé que María cambie dedirección y se adentre alocéano Atlántico, sinrepresentar amenaza para lacosta este de EstadosUnidos.
En Puerto Rico, la redeléctrica estaba en malacondición desde antes deque María, y el huracán Irmahace dos semanas, azotaranla isla.
El territorio tiene una cri-sis de deuda de 73.000millones de dólares que hadejado en bancarrota aagencias como la compañíade luz estatal. En los últimosaños no habían tenidomantenimiento y dejaron ala isla expuesta a apagonesfrecuentes.
La Agencia para elManejo de Emergencias deEstados Unidos informóque iba a abrir un puenteaéreo desde el territorioestadounidense hasta la islael viernes, y que iba amandar de tres a cuatroaviones militares diario conagua, comida, generadoresde luz y refugios temporales.
El gobernador RicardoRosselló puntualizó quehay una emergenciahumanitaria en Puerto Ricoy que éste es un suceso sinprecedentes.
resultaron lesionadas y más de50 personas fueron rescatadassólo en la Ciudad de México,incluidas dos mujeres y unhombre que fueron sacados convida la noche del miércoles delos restos de un edificio caído.
Aun así, la frustración crecíaen momentos en que las laboresde búsqueda se extendieronpor tercer día.
Fuera de un edificio deoficinas colapsado en lacolonia Roma Norte, en elcentro de la capital, una lista delos rescatados colgaba entredos árboles. Los familiares delos desaparecidos cotejabanlos nombres con sus propiaslistas de quienes estaban ahí eldía del sismo, más de dosdocenas.
María del CarmenFernández buscaba a susobrino de 27 años, Iván ColínFernández, quien trabajabacomo contador en el edificiode siete pisos, el cual quedócompletamente derruido.
Se quejó el jueves de que laúltima vez que la familia tuvouna actualización sobre laslabores de búsqueda fue elmiércoles por la noche, cuandolas autoridades les dijeron quecreían que unas 14 personaspodrían estar vivas entre losescombros. Tres personas yahabían sido rescatadas desdeel sismo.
“Que nos informen”, dijoFernandez, mientras suhermana, la mamá delcontador, lloraba. “Porque yocreo que eso es lo que más nos
mata: la desesperación de queno sabemos nada”.
En las últimas horassurgieron rumores de que lasautoridades buscaban usarmaquinaria pesada, lo cualpodría provocar nuevosderrumbes que afectarían acualquier sobreviviente. “Senos hace injusto, porquetodavía hay gente vivaadentro y no se vale”, dijoFernández sobre esasversiones.
“Creo que deben deesperarse a sacar hasta elúltimo”, añadió.
En un intento de disiparlos rumores, el coordinadornacional de Protección Civil,Luis Felipe Puente, señaló ensu cuenta de Twitter queninguna autoridad estabausando maquinaria pesara enlas labores de búsqueda yrescate.
En el vecindario laCondesa, cercano al centrode la ciudad, vecinoscaminaban con maletas ensus manos o en carritos desupermercados por la acerade un boulevard en el que unedificio de siete pisos colapsóy varios fueron desalojadosdebido a sus daños. Otroscargaban computadoras ytelevisores después de haberpodido ingresar a susviviendas por breves minutospara buscar sus documentosy parte de sus pertenencias.

“Hispanic Heritage Monthoffers us the opportunity to ex-plore the rich culture and heri-tage of Latinos and celebratetheir unique contributions, in-cluding music, art and cuisine,to our society,” said Dr. MicheleSoliz, assistant vice presidentfor student success and inclu-sion at the University of Toledoin a press release.
Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 is na-tional Hispanic Heritage monthand as Sept. comes to an end, theUniversity of Toledo works tocelebrate its diversity.
Throughout Sept. – Oct., UTput on an array of events, andcontinues the momentum witha Latino Meet-and-Greet, spon-sored by the UT Latino AlumniAffiliate.
Current students and alummingled with staff and faculty,learning more about Hispanic/
ABC News anchor JohnQuiñones, like many Latinos,came from humble begin-nings in a migrant farmworkerfamily. His family evenworked the fields/orchards ofNorthwest Ohio and Michi-gan when he was a child, forexample, picking crops nearSwanton—a place he re-turned to visit when in townfor a lecture at the Universityof Toledo on Sept. 21, 2017.
“It’s a very nostalgic tripfor me to come to NorthwestOhio, because the last time Iwas in this area was when Iwas 13 years old,” saidQuiñones. “We picked toma-toes in Swanton. So I couldn’tresist. I hopped in the car thismorning and drove toSwanton to feel the dirt fromthose tomato plants. I alsotook some pictures to sendback to the family. Back then,I was just a 13-year old kidwith a fistful of dirt and abunch of dreams.”
The 20/20 and Primetimenewsmagazines host spokeduring a lecture entitled “A20/20 Vision for America:Building Bridges, not Walls”at the Doermann Theatre in-side University Hall on theUT campus. Quiñones gainednotoriety for creating andhosting the ABC News spe-cial “What Would You Do?,”a highly-rated, hidden-cam-era ethical dilemmanewsmagazine which justcompleted its 12th seasonwith a spring and summer run.
“It’s the little show thatasks the question, ‘when youwitness an injustice, do youstep in or step away?’ It’s alsothe show that’s made it im-possible for me to go to din-ner anywhere without peopleasking ‘why are you here,what’s going on?’” hequipped, getting a lot oflaughs. “The good news is,when I’m around, everyone ison their best behavior.”
Quiñones talked of nevergiving up on his version ofthe US-American dream de-spite growing up in pov-erty—and being judged bythe color of his skin when hewanted to do better in life.
“I’m most proud of theshow because it shines a lighton all of these issues like rac-ism and bullying and discrimi-nation and gay-bashing at atime when this country needsthat kind of beacon of lightand hope more than ever be-fore,” he said. “The issues wetackle on the show really dohappen in life, mainly in theshadows when no one is look-ing. Sadly, there is still a lot ofbigotry and stereotypes, par-ticularly against people ofcolor. It’s alive and well.”
Quiñones, 65, pointed di-rectly to Donald Trump’s re-cent executive orders thatcould further break apart fami-lies by deporting the chil-dren of undocumented im-migrants brought to the U.S.at a very young age, aftertelling the US-American pub-lic he would only focus on“criminals.”
“I’ve never seen this coun-try divided as it is these days.All you have to do is witnessthe craziness over DACA andthe DREAMers of this coun-try,” he said. “I have person-ally interviewed many ofthese fine students. Many ofthem are military. Many wentto law school, medical school.Some of them are valedicto-
rians of their classes. Theseare the very people we wantto make [US-]America greatagain and yet we’re threaten-ing them with deportation.”
“Many of them don’t evenspeak Spanish. If they weresent back to their countries oforigin, they’re going to beamong strangers in a strangeworld,” he noted. “If we makeany effort—any effort—todeport the DREAMers, in myopinion, it would be a ter-rible and cruel injustice.”
Quiñones applauded UTPresident Sharon Gaber forher stance on DACA andpledged assistance to them.He noted that she has proved“what she would do is theright and honorable thing.”
Quiñones told the crowdhe “felt born and destined” todo a show that serves as alaboratory of human behav-ior, because of “where I wasborn and where I grew up andthe kind of world I grew upin.” He grew up in the bayouof San Antonio, Texas wherehis Mexican-American fam-ily has lived for seven gen-erations. His father was a jani-tor and his mother cleanedhouses. He didn’t even speakEnglish in the first grade, go-ing to school well before therewas bilingual education.
“I tell people we didn’tcross the border, the bordercrossed us,” he said to laugh-ter and applause. Tejana ac-tress Eva Longoria, native ofCorpus Christi, has a similarhistory and often refers to thesame border-crossing geog-raphy.
Quiñones recounted sto-ries of his youth growing uppoor in a rough-and-tumbleneighborhood with gangsand drugs, where he and hiscousin once opened ashoeshine business as youngboys until one evening whenhis equipment and days earn-ings were stolen.
His father got laid-offwhen he was 13, promptinghis family “to do what manyother Hispanic families inSouth Texas had to do” andjoined “a caravan of trucks”with strangers and headed tonorthern Michigan to pickcherries for 75 cents perbucket.
“I remember teetering atthe top of these ladders andlooking out at orchards andorchards of cherry trees,” hesaid. “It would take me twohours to fill that darn bucketfor 75 cents.”
That led Quiñones, his twosisters, and parents toSwanton to pick tomatoesfor 75 cents per bushel after afew weeks on cherry duty.
“I learned the value of afamily coming together intimes of strife and difficultyand pulling ourselves up byour bootstraps,” he said. “ButI’ll never forget being on myknees on the cold, hardground. It’s wet, six o’clock
in the morning in Swanton,Ohio, looking at a row oftomato plants that, in a 13-year old’s eyes, seemed to goon for miles and miles. I re-call my father looking at meand saying—would you liketo do this kind of work for-ever or would you like to geta college education. For me,it was a no-brainer.”
Quiñones told the crowdhe wanted to major in jour-nalism since the age of ten,after seeing Geraldo Rivieraon TV—the only one with aLatino last name and one ofvery few on TV at the time.
But he recounted askingteachers and counselors howhe could best prepare him-self for college and the place-ment tests required, but wassteered toward learning atrade. But Quiñones foundhis “heroes along the waywho helped him achieve hisdream: a high school lan-guage arts teacher, a studentnewspaper advisor, and thegovernment program Up-ward Bound, whose mottobecame “the way out of pov-erty is through education.”
Quiñones completed anundergraduate degree whileworking the overnight shiftsat a couple of radio stations,all while working to lose aheavy accent. A mentor en-couraged him to enter thegraduate program at Colum-bia University where heearned a full-ride journalismfellowship.
His first TV job was as alocal reporter for a ChicagoTV station. He recounted astory where he went under-cover as a Mexican citizenseeking passage to the U.S.Quiñones paid a middlemanto smuggle him across theRio Grande River to Laredo,Texas—floating on an innertube. He took a bus to Chi-cago and got hired as a dish-washer by a Greek restaurantthat took in undocumentedimmigrants, but had not paidthem in 13 weeks. Many gotdeported when they com-plained.
By day, Quiñones toldthe crowd, he washed dishesalongside the other immi-grants, then set up a cameraat night and interviewedthem about their lives as“virtual slaves.” Quiñonesaired the story after showingup to interview the restau-rant owner, who ran. The fed-eral government shut downthe restaurant and issuedtemporary visas to the work-ers while pursuing theirwages.
“As a Latino, I knew thenthat those were the kinds ofstories I wanted to tell,” hesaid. “I consider journalismto be the candle in the dark-ness. The journalist, he orshe, is the person with thecandle, with a little flash-light—and they can shine itin the darkest corners of theworld to illuminate injus-tice, to illuminate corrup-tion, civil rights violationsand human rights viola-tions.”
Quiñones has received aGabriel Award for a reportthat followed a young manto Colombia to reunite withhis birth mother after twodecades, a CINE Award for areport done in Israel aboutsuicide bombers, and anALMA Award from the Na-tional Council of La Raza.

TOLEDO, Sept. 22, 2017:The Lucas County Commis-sioners renewed their appealfor Lake Erie to be declaredimpaired. The toxic algalbloom has entered theMaumee River this week,three years after the ToledoWater Crisis of August 2,2014. At that time, over500,000 residents of LucasCounty and Northwest Ohiowent without clean, safe drink-ing water for three days as aresult of the detection ofmicrocystin in treated drink-ing water.
According to a press re-lease issued by the Commis-sioners, “We recognize early-adopters in the agriculturalcommunity who are makingmeaningful investments toreduce nutrient runoff – butthe rate of adoption is nothappening fast enough to pro-tect water quality. Now, morethan ever, we need decisiveaction from our public part-ners at the Federal Govern-ment and the State of Ohio.”

The luxury division ofGermany’s Daimler AG saidit plans to manufacture elec-tric SUVs under Mercedes’EQ sub-brand at the Ala-bama plant by the start of thenext decade.
Mercedes executiveMarkus Schaefer said in astatement that “with the ad-dition of electric SUVs toour future fleet, we will pro-

The Commissioners alsocall on the federal governmentto fund more robust monitor-ing in the western basin.Through its Nutrient SourceInventory Tool, the commis-sioners have identified inad-equacies in phosphorus moni-toring data. In order to run themodels to specifically deter-mine nutrient hotspots in thebasin, the county must havemore complete information forthe 13 locations in the basinwhere gaps in current data col-lection exist—a multi-stateundertaking is desperatelyneeded, according to the Com-missioners.

SANTIAGO DE CHILE, 21IX 17 (AP): Cuatro mapucheschilenos acusados del incendiode un templo evangélicocumplieron el jueves 107 díasen huelga de hambre enrechazo a una controversial leyque permite que estén presospreventivamente desde hace13 meses.
El lonko o jefe indígenaAlfredo Trancal y los hermanosAriel, Benito y Pablo Trangol,presos en un penal de Temuco,700 kilómetros al sur deSantiago, exigen ser juzgadospor la ley penal común y no porla ley antiterrorista que permitemantenerlos detenidos hastados años sin juicio y endurecenotoriamente las condenas.
Temuco, en la Araucanía, es
una zona altamente conflictivadonde son normales la quemade camiones, iglesias, templosy maquinaria agrícola porencapuchados que exigen el finde decenas de juicios contramapuches y la devolución delas tierras de sus antepasados,ahora en manos de compañíasforestales o familiasdescendientes de europeos.
El sacerdote jesuita BenitoBerríos dijo el jueves a radioCooperativa que según uninforme médico los indígenasen huelga de hambre “están enuna situación en que puedenseguir... pueden tener unadescompensación encualquier momento y morirsealguno de ellos”.
Berríos, quien fue llamado
por los mapuches para mediaren la situación, agregó que“los encontré bastantedeteriorados, a dos de ellossobre todo”.
El sacerdote cuestionó lafalta de avances en lainvestigación del incendio porel cual se encuentran presos.
El gobierno llamó a losmapuches a deponer la huelgamediante una exhortación dela vocera Paula Narváez.
En tanto, desconocidosquemaron la noche delmiércoles un recinto religiosoque se sumó a tres que ardieronel martes por la noche en laAraucanía. En sus cercaníasaparecieron panfletos a favorde la liberación de los cuatromapuches.

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO,20 IX 17 (AP): El conciertoque Ricky Martin teníaprevisto para el miércolesen el emblemático Zócalocapitalino ha sido, como seanticipaba, postergadodebido al sismo.
“Mi gente querida deMéxico, antes que nadaquiero decirles que hoy,más que nunca, estoy conustedes en alma ypensamiento”, escribió elsuperastro puertorriqueñoen un comunicadopublicado el martes por lanoche en sus redessociales.

TORONTO, 20 IX 17 (AP):Una chilena ofrece una de lasactuaciones más comentadasdel año y algunos esperan quesea la primera actriztransgénero en conseguir unanominación al Oscar.
Daniela Vega, de 28 años,protagoniza la cinta deSebastián Lelio “Una mujerfantástica” como Marina, unamujer transgénero que, tras lamuerte de su pareja (FranciscoReyes), sufre el maltrato tantode la familia del amante difuntocomo de la policía que investigasu deceso.
Chile la seleccionó comosu apuesta al Premio de laAcademia a la mejor películaen lengua extranjera. Pero elmayor interés podría estar en sila emocionante actuación deVega, llena de fuerza ycompasión, pueda hacerhistoria en los Oscar. Al reseñarel filme tras su estreno en elFestival de Cine de Berlín,Variety calificó el trabajo deVega como “una proeza actoralde múltiples capas,emocionalmente polimorfa”que merece “mucho más que elelogio político”.
Mientras varios músicostransgénero han sidonominados al Oscar, ningúnactor o actriz trans hacompetido por un premio.
“Es demasiado tempranopara hablar de eso, para pensaren eso. Tengo muchosfestivales por delante, muchosvestidos que ponerme”, dijoVega con una sonrisa en una
entrevista reciente. “Los Os-car están un poco más allá delprograma en el que estoypensando ahorita. Cruzaremosese puente cuando lleguemosal río”.
Vega y “Una mujerfantástica” no tendrán uncamino fácil al Oscar. Lasactuaciones en películas delengua extranjera rara vez sonconsideradas en las categoríasde actuación, y este año, comola mayoría, el campo depotenciales candidatas rebosade estrellas de renombre ytrayectoria como Meryl Streep(“The Post”) y JessicaChastain (“Molly’s Game”).
Pero Vega tiene dos cosasa su favor: la profundidad desu interpretación y laposibilidad de un muyesperado hito en los Oscar. Talresultado podría tener gransignificado para unacomunidad a la que DonaldTrump recientementeprohibió entrar al ejército.
“Si ampliamos nuestra
mirada, será másinteresante, máshermoso. Si podemoshacer colores, perso-nas, historias másdiversas, seríainteresante”, dijoVega. “Los uniformesson para los soldadosy la policía, no paranuestras opiniones”.
Hollywood no seha opuesto a contarh i s t o r i a stransgénero, pero la
industria ha enfrentado críticaspor no darles papelesprominentes a actores trans.Hilary Swank (“Boys Don’tCry”, o “Los muchachos nolloran”) y Jared Leto (“DallasBuyers Club”, o “El club de losdesahuciados”) han sidogalardonados, y cintas como“The Danish Girl” (“La chicadanesa”) de 2015, con EddieRedmayne, y “Transamerica” de2005, con Felicity Huffman, hanrecibido nominaciones.
Aunque esos filmes y la seriede Amazon “Transparent” hansido muy elogiados, se haincrementado la presión paraque los productores seleccionenactores transgénero para papelestransgénero. Pero los avances sehan visto en vez en pequeñasproducciones pococonvencionales como “Tanger-ine”, el aplaudido filme de 2015que Sean Baker filmó coniPhones. La cinta fueprotagonizada por un par deactrices transgénero, Mya Tay-lor y Kitana Kiki Rodríguez.
Taylor ganó el año pasado elpremio Spirit por el papel.
“Hay un talentotransgénero muy hermoso”,dijo Taylor al aceptar el honora la mejor actriz de reparto.“Más vale que salgan abuscarlo y lo pongan en suspelículas”.
Las personas transgénerohan sido nominadas al Oscaren otras categorías. Lacompositora Angela Morleyrecibió dos postulaciones, por“The Little Prince” (“Elprincipito”) de 1974 y “TheSlipper and the Rose” (“Lazapatilla y la rosa”) de 1976.

“No puedo dormir. Mimente está en Puerto Ricocon mi gente. Somos fuertes.Reconstruiremos. Unidos”,tuiteó Martin el miércolespor la mañana, tras haberescrito en la víspera “Migente de Puerto Rico, elCaribe y México mi corazónestá con ustedes. Somosfuertes. Y unidos podemoscon todo. Mucho amor”.
cantante Anohni, antesconocida como Antony deAntony and the Johnsons, seconvirtió en la primeraintérprete transgéneronominada. Colaboró con J.Ralph en la canción postulada“Manta Ray” del documental“Racing Extinction”. Peromientras los otros candidatosal premio - Lady Gaga, SamSmith, the Weeknd - fueroninvitados a cantar en la galadel 2016, Anohni no lo fue, ydecidió boicotear la ceremonia.
En un fogoso ensayo en elque anunció que no asistiría alos Premios de la Academia,Anohni declaró: “Van a tratar
de convencernos de que lohacen por nuestro bien mientrasondean banderas por políticasde identidad y asuntos moralesfalsos”.
Si Vega - y otros votantesdel Oscar - pueden cambiar lahistoria de los Oscar aún estápor verse. Sony Picture Clas-sics, que ha llevado a docenasde actores a recibirnominaciones, estrenará elfilme en Estados Unidos el 17de noviembre. Por ahora, Vegaestá disfrutando el momento.
“Es como vivir un sueño”,expresó la actriz. “Es como unapelícula dentro de unapelícula”.

policías parados detrás degrandes vallas plásticasimpedían que la gentepasara por allí. Sóloalgunos residentes del área,las fuerzas de seguridad yvoluntarios civiles concascos podían circular.Gran parte de las aceras delos edificios estabanbordeadas por cintas rojaso amarillas que indicabanque el edificio de ese lugarestaba frágil o podía caerse.
Desde el miércolestemprano, los ojos del paísestaban en la escuelaEnrique Rébsamen en elsur de la Ciudad deMéxico, donde rescatistasdijeron a reporteros que unaniña, identificada sólocomo Frida Sofía, habíamovido sus dedos cuandole gritaron para ver si estabaviva.
I n n u m e r a b l e srescatistas dijeron haberhablado con la niña eincluso hubo quiencomentó que les habíadicho que otros niñosestaban vivos en el mismolugar. La menor seconvirtió entonces en elsímbolo de la esperanza enmedio del desastre quesacudió al país.

Crece desesperación por desaparecidos trassismo en México
muy cerca de la escuela caída,pero las únicas imágenestransmitidas en vivo las 24horas eran de rescatistas queexcavaban, nunca de algunaniña.
Conforme avanzaban laslabores en el sitio, ningún fa-miliar se acercó paraidentificar a la menor yalgunos funcionarioscomenzaron a decir que laidentidad de la personaatrapada no estaba clara.
Y entonces la tarde deljueves, el subsecretario de laMarina, Enrique Sarmiento,dijo que si bien había rastrosde sangre y otros signos quesugerían que alguien estabacon vida, todos los niñoshabían sido identificados.
“Hemos hecho un conteocon la dirección de la escuela,y tenemos la seguridad de quetodos los niños od e s g r a c i a d a m e n t efallecieron, o están en loshospitales o están a salvo ensus casas”, dijo el funcionario.
Refirió que 11 niñoshabían sido rescatados en ellugar y 19 murieron, juntocon seis adultos, incluida unaempleada cuyo cuerpo fuerecuperado cerca de las cincode la mañana del jueves.
“Queremos puntualizarque con la versión que se sacócon el nombre de una niña no
tenemos conocimiento,nosotros nunca tuvimosconocimiento de esaversión y no creemos,estamos seguros que no fueuna realidad”, añadió.
Alfredo Padilla, unrescatista voluntario, le restóimportancia a la revelaciónde que no había una niñaatrapada.
“Fue una confusión”,dijo. “Lo importante es quehay señales de vida yestamos trabajando en ello”.
En medio de una callecercana, cerca de 50 perso-nas acudieron la tarde deljueves a una misa especialpara rezar por las víctimasde la escuela. La gente,incluidos familiares de losfallecidos, lloraron cuandoel padre dijo en voz alta susnombres y mientras a sulado pasaban los autoscomo si nada ocurriera.
La misa terminósoltando globos blancoshacia el cielo. “Mi princesavaliente”, se leía en uno;“siempre te querremos”,pusieron en otro.
