manager of the Cuban singer José Manuel Carbajal
made statements this Saturday about the possible funeral in Cuba and the artist's inheritance during the funeral ceremony that took place at the Church of San Lázaro in Miami
Reinosa explained to the press that he could not provide many details out of respect for the family as well as for the artist's team
regarding the possibility of holding a funeral in honor of El Taiger in Cuba
but they still need to coordinate all the details with the family
whether to hold the funeral with the body present or with ashes
He preferred not to offer more details to respect the internal process being managed together with the relatives
Regarding the inheritance left by the artist
Reinosa clarified that the matter is in the hands of the lawyers and
they cannot provide details about the legal process
He added that eventually all the information will be made public and the relevant documents will be shown
but at this point they cannot comment on who has control or legal authority
the inheritance will inevitably pass to the artist's children
emphasizing that this is not a dispute over royalties
The manager of El Taiger highlighted that there is still a considerable amount of unpublished musical material from the Cuban singer
He explained that the team has a lot of music accumulated from several years of work and they are coordinating with the record label to release this content appropriately
he emphasized that they want to ensure that El Taiger's musical legacy continues and that the followers keep enjoying his work
Reinosa took the opportunity in his statements to the press to express his opinion on the speculations that have circulated regarding the death of El Taiger
which is why the team has preferred to be cautious in their comments and focus on the truth
he stressed that they expect to have all the documentation and the hospital's diagnosis in writing before providing more details
trusting that time will clarify everything
Regarding the funeral ceremony held in Miami
Reinosa commented: “It’s very overwhelming
People even judge us because suddenly we don’t show emotions
but we go through a private process at night.”
El Taiger was declared dead on October 10 at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami
where he had been hospitalized for a week after being shot in the head
Tobi cannot bear to be separated from his owner
who four years ago was admitted to the Fundación Residencia de Ancianos San Francisco
And Luis of course misses the company of his best friend
A few days ago Tobi ran away from his home
following the trail of another user of the old people's home
and waited by the door of the building until Luis was brought down to see him and they were able to cuddle
but backwards," had to leave his wife Yoli
He does however get to visit them frequently
He's been with me since he was born and we've never been separated
The nine-year-old black and white mongrel ran away from home and went out into the street in search of Luis
Luckily for Tobi he came across another resident of the San Francisco residence who was out for a walk
Her smell was familiar to him and he followed her for a kilometre and a half through an urban area
Witnesses saidhe kept his distance from her through Parque de Cupido "We think the dog was familiar with the smell of the residence
The woman went for a walk at half past five in the afternoon and before six o'clock the dog was already here
respecting the electric doors that open and close automatically
watching people come and go to the reception," explained Virginia Arenal
a physiotherapist at the residence who recognised Tobi and let Yoli know that the dog was there
Arenal spends a lot of time with Luis doing rehabilitation excercises and knows how fond he is of animals
has great anecdotes and boasts that Tobi is a good guardian and that he loves him very much
as we have been able to see with the surprise visit he made to the centre," said the health worker
She added that she believes the loyalty of dogs to their owners "is the purest form of love that exists
their loyalty does not depend on your mistakes or your successes
"When they told me that Tobi was at the door of the residence waiting to see me
although I was also worried that he might have been run over on his adventure," said Luis
who explained how as soon as he saw him his dog "went crazy" and started wagging his tail and licking him in the face
"Shall I tell you a secret?" asked the octogenarian on the other end of the phone
I'd run away from the residence to be with him too."

Adan Reinosa has been living with metastatic colorectal cancer for more than a decade
who was the first participant in the ENLACE study
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among people of Hispanic and Latino descent in the United States
a retired electrical engineer in Los Angeles
Mr. Reinosa has been living with metastatic colorectal cancer for more than a decade
The cancer was detected in his lungs a few months after a tumor was removed from his colon
He’s been managing the disease with his doctor ever since.
Now, as the first participant in a genetic study called ENLACE
Reinosa is helping to build a body of knowledge about the molecular features of colorectal cancers in Hispanic and Latino people
The study, supported by the Cancer MoonshotSM
aims to learn more about the disease in people of Hispanic and Latino descent
with the ultimate goal of improving treatments for this population group
investigators are also testing ways to engage more people from this group in cancer research
Mr. Reinosa, who is 65 years old and restores classic sports cars in his free time, is helping with both goals. He has provided blood and tumor samples for analysis with genomic tools such as DNA sequencers
And he is part of the study’s patient advisory panel
which is developing ideas about how to engage potential participants and improve the research experience.
“I hope my feedback will help the study better serve other people in our community,” Mr
ENLACE is the first study to use cutting-edge technologies to describe the molecular features of colorectal tumors in Hispanic and Latino people
Researchers plan to enroll 500 participants with all forms of colorectal cancer
Tumor samples and blood from these participants will be analyzed for genetic changes linked to colorectal cancer, both those that arose during the development of the cancer as well as those that were inherited from a parent.
“What’s exciting is that we are doing genetic testing in a patient population that would not have had the testing outside of this study,” said Heinz-Josef Lenz
of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles
Dr. Lenz said he has already identified genetic mutations in the tumors of some participants and has used that information to help guide treatment decisions.
The ENLACE team includes bilingual genetic counselors who are trained in culturally sensitive
Dying from colorectal cancer twice as likely in those who didn’t get follow-up
They meet with participants before testing to explain in accessible language how genetic testing for colorectal cancer works.
The genetic counselors also help participants understand their test results
if a participant were found to have an inherited genetic mutation linked to cancer
a counselor could explain how the finding would affect cancer screening and prevention for the participant and the person’s family in the future.
“We want our patients to understand what these tests mean for themselves and their care,” said study co-leader Mariana C
also of the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center
“We also want to empower patients to ask questions of their health care providers.”
“We really do not understand why there has been a steep increase in early-onset colorectal cancer among Hispanics,” Dr
who was then chair of translational genomics at the Keck School of Medicine of USC
they launched the Center for Optimization of Participant Engagement for Cancer Characterization
Their hope is that the study could also help reveal some clues about the rising incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer
“Expanding the participation of Hispanics and Latinos with colorectal cancer in genomic research is critical for making progress against the disease,” Dr
The USC participant engagement center is one of five such centers in the Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PE-CGS) Network
Each is investigating understudied cancers or populations of patients (see sidebar)
The centers all have two main aims: to promote and support the engagement of participants in cancer research
and to learn more about the biology of understudied cancers in diverse populations
The PE-CGS Network was developed to address knowledge gaps in cancer genomics in diverse and underrepresented populations. The network includes a coordinating center and five PE-CGS research centers
The engagement aim reflects an expanded idea of what it means to participate in cancer research
Participant engagement is increasingly viewed as a mutually beneficial relationship between researchers and participants
according to an analysis led by PE-CGS researchers at The Ohio State University
“The idea is that the research experience supports learning and sharing between participants and researchers
where the relationship is ongoing to foster continuous growth,” said study leader Anne Schuster
of The Ohio State University College of Medicine
the research centers are exploring ways to enhance the engagement of participants throughout their studies
starting with making the recruitment phases more inviting
They're also investigating ways to address historical barriers to participation
such as poor access to research facilities or lack of trust in medical research
“Our focus is on involving groups of people who have historically not been part of research on cancer genomics,” Dr
The PE-CGS Network was created with a goal of ensuring that underserved communities eventually benefit from the latest advances in cancer medicine
of NCI’s Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and the NCI lead for the network
“Through participant engagement,” she continued
“the network has the potential to improve the recruitment and retention of historically underserved and underrepresented populations in research.”
ENLACE is an example of patient-centered care
“We are providing patients with knowledge and listening to their concerns and questions so that we can optimize our study,” she said.
Some opportunities to improve the study have begun to emerge
the questionnaires that participants answer about their health and about the study itself can take hours to complete
The time commitment can be a burden for busy participants
adding that his team will explore ways to collect the information in less time
Researchers find four “red flag” signs that may identify colorectal cancer early in younger adults
many participants have made sure that family members get screened for colorectal cancer if they are eligible
may start conversations about the importance of staying current on all recommended cancer screenings
including tests for breast and cervical cancer
“We might save more lives among family members than among the patients themselves,” he said
I often hear that one of the person’s relatives had a very bad polyp removed
Reinosa recently received the results of a genomic analysis of one of his metastatic tumors
The analysis revealed a genetic change that his doctors said could potentially play a role in the growth of the cancer and could be a potential target for treatment
But the doctors cautioned that more research is needed to determine the finding’s significance
“That’s what research is for—answering these kinds of questions.”

Print A sheriff’s deputy who allegedly faked being shot by a sniper and was previously investigated for dishonesty by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials has been fired
a probationary employee who had been with the Sheriff’s Department for about a year
became the subject of a criminal investigation last week after he said he was shot by a sniper outside the sheriff’s Lancaster Station — a claim that officials said he later admitted was untrue
Saying he had taken “swift administrative action in the matter,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced at a news conference Wednesday that Reinosa was no longer employed by the department or the county
Villanueva declined to elaborate on the deputy’s departure
“I am disappointed that this incident occurred and upset that one member’s actions has reflected negatively on a department that has a history of service and heroism,” he said
initially told investigators that he had been on his way to his car in the station’s parking lot when he was hit by rifle fire from a nearby apartment building
He claimed the protective vest he was wearing stopped a shot to his chest
while another bullet had grazed his shoulder
When Villanueva visited Reinosa at the hospital
the deputy had what appeared to be a contusion on his shoulder that was red and covered with a bandage
The sheriff said that it did not appear to be a bullet wound and the situation “seemed odd.”
Still, the incident sparked a massive response from law enforcement officials, who spent days searching for a phantom gunman
It wasn’t long before Reinosa’s story unraveled
Investigators noted there had been no 911 calls reporting gunfire in the area and no bullets were found in the parking lot
A hole in his shirt that Reinosa said came from a bullet was far too large
multiple sheriff’s officials and others with knowledge of the investigation told The Times
sources say Reinosa sounded too calm for someone who had just been shot
By nightfall, even as a massive manhunt for his purported attacker continued, investigators began scrutinizing Reinosa’s story. Those early suspicions were borne out Saturday night, when investigators announced Reinosa had concocted the shooting.
Villanueva said the department was “appalled and disappointed.” Reinosa’s motive for allegedly faking an assassination attempt remains unknown.
“He made a life-altering decision and, unfortunately, he has to live with it,” Villanueva said. “This black eye is on the individual himself. It’s not a reflection of the department or any member of the department outside of his own individual actions.”
The department plans to submit the results of its criminal investigation to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. Prosecutors ultimately will determine whether Reinosa will face criminal charges.
Sheriff’s Capt. Kent Wegener said the department is still waiting for forensic evidence, and is looking into how many hours officers spent searching for a suspect and the deployment of other resources to understand the full impact of the false report.
Law enforcement sources speaking on the condition of anonymity said detectives also are investigating whether Reinosa committed perjury, filed a false police report or falsely reported a work injury for financial gain.
Sources told The Times that Reinosa had been investigated in the past in another incident involving allegations of dishonesty documented by his supervisors. The investigation led to discipline, but no recommendation that he be fired.
Reinosa had been preparing to move into a job in the sheriff’s detention system, sources said.
Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris said in an interview that Reinosa had been struggling in his first year in the field — a probationary training period that all sworn personnel must complete before becoming full-fledged deputies.
“He should have been fired and he should be charged,” Parris said Wednesday. “Everyone in Lancaster and the Sheriff’s Department wants him held accountable.”

When interviewing potential graduate students
Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology Lorraine Benuto asks a question that often surprises them:
Would they be interested in learning how to provide services in Spanish
Despite the fact that most students interviewing for a spot in her lab are native-Spanish speakers hoping to work with the Latinx population as clinicians and researchers
the hard work of translating not only the language
concepts and behavioral interventions in a way that maintains the evidence-based mechanisms while allowing for idiosyncratic adaptations that appropriately address the unique needs of a Latinx individual is left to the student to figure out on their own
And it’s one reason there is a deficit of Spanish-speaking providers in Nevada and across the country
The answer to Benuto’s question has so far been a resounding yes
As a young Latina college and graduate student
Benuto did much of this hard work on her own
she has dedicated her career to easing that burden for future students
Since joining the Department of Psychology’s faculty first as a postdoctoral fellow in 2009 and in 2016 as an assistant professor
her growing body of research on culturally-tailored
evidence-based psychotherapies for Latinx individuals has become some of the most cited in the field
a specialty clinic offering free mental health services to Latina women and children who have experienced domestic violence
La Cliníca has helped to fill a void in Nevada by providing access to bilingual mental health services and economically accessible care while promoting mental health literacy within the Latinx community
Benuto developed and launched Psychology Research Opportunities for Underrepresented and Diverse students (PROUD)
a program that provides professional development and research opportunities to help undergraduate students become competitive applicants for graduate school
she has worked with nearly two dozen graduate students
to train in culturally-sensitive psychological services
with an experience at the University that really enhances their sense of belonging and empowers them to feel that they are members of the scientific community—the sky is the limit."
“Diversification of the field of clinical psychology is something I have been missioned around as a professor for the last five years and prior to that as a mentor to undergraduate students,” Benuto said
“One of my hopes is that my students will graduate and go on to mentor minority students and contribute to the diversification of the field themselves by contributing to the pipeline of underrepresented students
My second hope is that my graduate students are well-prepared to work with the Latinx community either as clinicians or as researchers.”
Benuto’s definition of culturally-sensitive psychological services is reflective of how she engages with her clients in the clinical or research setting
Having grown up in rural northern California in a predominantly white community
Benuto was one of few Latinx kids in her school
her family would spend about three months in Mexico
combined with her mother’s cultural heritage as a member of the Maidu tribe
provided Benuto with personal experiences related to the nuance of identity and culture
Benuto’s desire to better understand her experience—to study it—put her on the trajectory she is still on today
Along with her team of doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows
each with their own nuanced perspectives to contribute
the research and publications coming out of her lab are far-reaching
From documenting the stigma around mental health within Latinx communities to the development of a widely disseminated guidebook for treating non-English speaking clients
Benuto and her team are building a library of information to support clinicians working at the intersection of culture and psychology
Benuto is mentoring seven graduate students and two postdocs
two of whom are returning to her lab after receiving their doctoral degrees to continue their research: Drs
Casas was the recipient of the Sam Lieberman Regents’ Award for Student Scholarship in the spring of 2021
one of a number of accolades Benuto’s students have received
It is clear Benuto’s priority lies with her students
particularly in supporting her students in overcoming many of the stigmas her lab is working to change
“I want my students to feel empowered,” Benuto said
“We talk a lot in my lab about imposter syndrome
That’s a phenomenon across cultures in academia
but it seems to be exacerbated in students of color for lots of different reasons
I want my students to feel competent and confident
with an experience at the University that really enhances their sense of belonging and empowers them to feel that they are members of the scientific community—the sky is the limit.”
Following are the stories of four of Benuto’s students who prove just that
“I can identify with this population because I was there.”
doctoral student Rosy Chavez-Najera first began working in Benuto’s lab as an undergraduate
she received her master’s degree in clinical psychology and she is expected to earn her Ph.D
But her path to becoming a psychologist began long before she stepped foot on campus
Chavez-Najera’s father was suddenly deported back to his home country
her mother became a single parent to two young girls
“It was from one day to the next that he was gone,” Chavez-Najera said
“We were in this hopeless situation where we could do nothing
Chavez-Najera watched as her mother slipped rapidly into a deep depression marked by severe anxiety and regular panic attacks
Chavez-Najera didn’t have the language to define what she was witnessing
but she knew she wanted to do something to help
“I always had this sense of caring for her and doing everything I could to help her
but I didn’t know how,” Chavez-Najera said
“We had a television and an antenna that got us the free local broadcast channels
He would say these little phrases and I would see that people would get better when they were on the show
I decided I would copy whatever he said and say it to my mom so I could help her.”
Chavez-Najera would run home from the school bus to catch the 4:00 p.m
Sitting in front of her television with a notebook
she would take meticulous notes of specific phrases Dr
“When my mom would come home from work
I would repeat them to her verbatim,” Chavez-Najera said
‘How are you feeling?’ and whatever else Dr
Phil said that day on the show that was relevant
Seeing her in that situation was just so heartbreaking for me
and that’s the only thing that I could come close to as far as talk therapy went and so
or maybe it was the deep love and support from her daughter
but Chavez-Najera’s mother began to stabilize—her panic attacks diminished and she was able to raise her daughters
Chavez-Najera’s father was able to return to the U.S
but the lasting trauma of losing him has had a profound impact on their entire family
she came out of the experience incredibly resilient and driven to achieve her goal of becoming a psychologist
She spent her high school lunch hour studying how to become a psychologist
how to pay for college and how to get into graduate school
She graduated high school with $50,000 in scholarships and a clear vision for her future
Once on campus at the University of Nevada
she was surprised to see a Latina woman teaching her core curriculum class
she actually didn’t fully believe Benuto was Latina
After doing a quick Google search and joining her lab to confirm
Chavez-Najera learned that Benuto was in fact a Latina clinical psychologist
“It was my dream career and I had never seen anyone or heard of anyone that was Latina doing it,” Chavez-Najera said
She’s just everything that I want to be.”
“I can’t detach my own personal story from my research
I grew up in a Latinx family that was living in poverty
that had no means of ever going to see a psychotherapist because that was a luxury
Being culturally sensitive to that is part of who I am
that’s where I came from and that’s who I still am."
Chavez-Najera began to define her research interests
she is focused on identifying barriers to care and examining the efficacy of behavioral health interventions within the Latinx population
she is working on the development of a telenovela series as a mode of treatment for depression
The Spanish soap opera circumvents many of the barriers to care including language
travel and childcare while also using a familiar medium to curtail the stigma around mental health
The telenovela follows 40-year-old Maria who is having symptoms of depression
With all of the drama and gossip characteristic of the genre
is guided through treatment and receives emotional support from her family
she recovers and her family no longer stigmatizes mental illness
The series uses evidence-based treatment protocols which viewers can essentially adopt and self-treat in some cases
Chavez-Najera hopes to disseminate the telenovela widely
primary care clinics and in the comfort of homes
“I can’t detach my own personal story from my research,” Chavez-Najera said
“I grew up in a Latinx family that was living in poverty
that’s where I came from and that’s who I still am
Having personally lived the struggle of having a family member who was in crisis and was unable to get the attention they needed was very difficult
I can identify with this population because I was there.”
"They would see me as someone they could trust
also known as the DICE Center (Research Center for the Dissemination and Implementation of Culturally Sensitive
Evidence-Based Psychological Services) is bright with teal walls
hanging artwork and the Center’s mascot
and as Alan Garcia enters his second year in the clinical psychology graduate program under Benuto’s mentorship
Garcia will be using these toys in his research on parenting interventions within Latinx families
The types of toys he will be using are distinct in that some are typical Anglo-American toys—Transformer dolls
superheroes—while others are traditional handcrafted and artisan toys more common in Mexico and other Latin American countries
He will be testing if by using more culturally familiar toys the treatment will be better received by the parents
Garcia is also performing a systematic review of evidence-based behavioral interventions to determine if Latinx populations
are adequately represented in the randomized trials
Garcia sought out Benuto’s lab in hopes of working with the Latinx population
He was also one of Benuto’s graduate students surprised to learn he would have the opportunity to conduct research and therapy in Spanish while he was a student
Garcia’s family moved from Mexico to the Los Angeles area when he was five years old
His mother had received her degree in psychology in Mexico and had been working in the field before moving to the U.S
where the language barrier kept her from continuing that work
Garcia always knew he wanted to be a psychologist
He also recognizes the value of being a bilingual psychologist
“When my parents would go to a supermarket or somewhere public like that
I could feel them immediately relax,” Garcia said
“When I first started working with Spanish speaking families as an undergraduate researcher at UCLA
They would see me as someone they could trust
Being able to offer them help made me feel like I was giving back to my community
I didn’t really get a chance to grow up in Mexico
I’ve always thought about psychology as a way to give back to my community
“I’m impressed with how resilient they are
Francisco Reinosa Segovia joined the Mexican military due to his limited opportunities to pursue a higher education
he witnessed the impact of extreme poverty and the associated struggle to secure basic human needs such as food
housing and medical care that many families experienced
he witnessed the consequences of this poverty for children as young as 12
who were forced to drop out of school to earn a living by cleaning car windshields
he decided to leave the military in order to follow his passion to improve the health and wellness of low-resourced communities
and enrolled in community college where he took English as a Second Language (ESL) classes along with introductory psychology classes
He worked several jobs from custodian to security guard to pay for his classes
and soon he was in UCLA’s undergraduate psychology program conducting research under his former advisor
whose research focused on recruiting promotoras (or community health workers) to be trained in delivering therapy services
Reinosa Segovia learned of Benuto’s lab and applied
Benuto offered me this unique opportunity of doing supervision in Spanish,” Reinosa Segovia said
“None of the other programs that I interviewed for offered that opportunity
of doing clinical work with Spanish speakers and having Spanish supervision.”
Reinosa Segovia has witnessed a unique characteristic among many of his clients
"None of the other programs that I interviewed for offered that opportunity
of doing clinical work with Spanish speakers and having Spanish supervision."
“The stressors that Latino populations encounter are very unique,” Reinosa Segovia said
“Their immigration status is pending
They have children over in Mexico or other countries
They cannot drive or get a driver’s license
But they don’t worry so much about their mental health
I’m doing fine.’ I’m impressed with how resilient they are
Reinosa Segovia has witnessed that same resilience among Spanish-speaking clinicians in a research study conducted at the DICE Center
clinicians and other service providers all reported that delivering services in Spanish was incredibly challenging and that it added significantly to their workload
all but one reported that they wanted to continue the work
'Why is that?'” Reinosa Segovia said
“They answered that they felt privileged to provide the community with someone to talk to
privileged to serve these underserved populations
That was very touching and inspiring.”
There is no doubt Reinosa Segovia would respond with the same answer if asked
“I was always very aware of my role as somebody who was stable and who would be relied on if things were to change.”
postdoctoral fellow Cyndy Soto chooses her words thoughtfully
She is unperturbed by quiet pauses in conversation
This unique quality lends itself well to her profession
But these advantageous traits were not learned in graduate school
they are what almost kept her from pursuing college at all
a rural suburb of Phoenix in an immigrant family of mixed status
“I was always very aware of my role as somebody who was stable and who would be relied on if things were to change,” Soto said
“I think because of the mixed status
going to college was actually very difficult
and I almost made the choice not to go.”
"One of the effects of systemic racism is this imposter syndrome that comes from not having representation
not seeing other Latino professors or researchers
One of the things I’m hoping to work on is increasing that sense of belongingness for Latino students."
Soto did attend college and subsequently graduate school at the University to work in the field of geropsychology
a sub-discipline focused on the mental health and well-being of older adults
in the spring of 2021 with Fisher and Benuto co-chairing her dissertation
she started as a postdoctoral fellow in Benuto’s lab where she plans to continue her research on the impact of culturally tailoring services and improving access to Spanish-language treatment and materials for the Latinx population
She will also be joining Benuto in recruiting students like herself to the program
I’m hoping to also help with the recruitment of Latino students into the field,” Soto said
“We’ve found in our discussions and in talking to other students
that one of the effects of systemic racism is this imposter syndrome that comes from not having representation
One of the things I’m hoping to work on is increasing that sense of belongingness for Latino students.”
Benuto and Soto plan to develop a video campaign highlighting Latinx professionals and students working in the field of clinical psychology and sharing their stories
“It’s still very much in the idea phase and it evolved out of our lab conversations about systemic racism
the importance of representation in the field/academia and the impact of hearing other Latinx stories,” Soto said
“We’re going to be developing a video series sharing the stories of Latinx professionals and students with the aim of targeting systemic racism by promoting belongingness for BIPOC students.”
Whether serving as a role model for students
mentoring young clinicians or acting as a trustworthy confidant for her clients
Soto will continue to serve as someone her academic
clinical and Latinx community can rely on—a role she has embraced since a child
“I’m really passionate about continuing to provide Spanish services
continuing the work we’re doing with providing culturally-sensitive evidence-based treatment to this population,” Soto said
“I grew up always knowing that it was one of my values to help other people
that community was really important for support and for survival
I believe it was my freshman year of high school
I took a psychology course and I just became fascinated with clinical psychology and something clicked in my brain
I realized this is how I can help people.”

a criminal investigation was launched by Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau. After it was determined that the account of the incident was created by Reinosa and was a complete lie
the criminal investigation focused on the criminal actions of Angel Reinosa. A short time later
Reinosa was no longer employed by the Sheriff’s Department
The investigation was subsequently presented to the District Attorney’s Office for consideration of filing criminal charges.

subverting an ancient architectural concept, portuguese architect pedro miguel santos has proposed ‘inhabited walls’ for the reinosa social and cultural center in spain
where rooms were positioned inside walls and separated by large mineral masses for structural and defensive reasons
which enable the flow through to independent workshop rooms from the exterior
without compromising functions in the rest of the building
the insertion of an elevated podium allows a second level of habitation and also offers a classical elevation from the outside
the middle layer actually hides a large rotunda within that opens to the sky from its interior and conceals all visual references to the surrounding city
the rotunda works as an introspective space that is open to the sky above
multipurpose spaces have direct and diffuse light
with the ability to accommodate exhibitions and multiple activities

AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function
but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style
triggered a massive manhunt when he called for help Wednesday
claiming he’d been shot by a gunman from a nearby building while crossing the employment parking lot of the Lancaster station
but the search turned up no shooter and no weapon
Rinosa’s fellow cops soon turned suspicious
Though Reinosa claimed that his bulletproof jacket saved his life when one bullet struck his chest and that another grazed his shoulder
Investigators also said the hole in Reinosa’s shirt was too large for the minor wound he claimed to have suffered; in fact
no injuries were found when he was later examined at a hospital
Reinosa eventually admitted that he had not been shot
and that he had cut two holes in his shirt with a knife
“We are all appalled and disappointed
We took the deputy at his word at first,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said on Sunday
“We intend to hold the individual responsible for breaking the law and most importantly for betraying the community.”
Rex Parris shed some light on a possible motive
a first-year rookie still in the probationary stage of training
“was not advancing through the training program at an adequate pace
There had been a lot of attention on him.”
Parris said Reinosa was scheduled to be transferred to the Lancaster station and that the speculation was that the deputy was unhappy about the pending move
“Of course we’re all embarrassed,” said Parris
“There’s no doubt about that
I’m grateful we don’t have a sniper running around
And I’m really proud of how the Sheriff’s Department handled it
There was no attempt to cover it up.”
Parris initially blamed the shooting on mentally ill people living in a building next door to the police station: “It’s a building filled with people who are being treated for mental illness
Of course it’s insanity to allow such a facility to exist in that particular location
because the sheriff’s department has to be really politically correct about all this stuff
It’s outrageous to have that population in that location
and thank God we’re not talking about a funeral as a result of it.”

Print A former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy who lied about being shot by a sniper
a fabrication that prompted a massive law enforcement response to hunt down the perpetrator
On Aug. 21, Angel Raul Reinosa, then a 21-year-old deputy assigned to the department’s Lancaster station, radioed into dispatch that while on his way to his car in the station’s parking lot
he was hit by rifle fire from a nearby apartment building
Soon, law enforcement officers swarmed the area, using binoculars to scan the building for a possible sniper. The SWAT team and armored vehicles were also at the scene, and the public was told to avoid the area. The mayor of Lancaster quickly blamed the incident on people with mental illnesses who live in the apartment building
But officials soon began to doubt whether the deputy was telling the truth
and the Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau launched a criminal investigation into Reinosa
who is no longer employed by the department
The investigation was then presented to the district attorney’s office for potential prosecution
the district attorney’s office filed three criminal charges against Reinosa: filing a false police report
and two felony counts of insurance fraud related to a workers’ compensation claim
detectives from the Sheriff’s Department’s Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau served the warrant
arresting Reinosa during a traffic stop in Sylmar
“Two felonies and a misdemeanor are a sad ending to a promising career,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said
“We have an ethical standard for every employee
one that I will always maintain in order to earn the public’s trust.”
Authorities have not released any information about Reinosa’s motive for the deception
he had been with the Sheriff’s Department for only a year
He joined the Lancaster station in May for patrol training
Sources previously told The Times that the rookie lawman had been investigated in the past for another incident involving dishonesty and that he was set to move into a job in the Sheriff’s Department’s detention system.
The day of the hoax, Reinosa was taken to a hospital, where doctors found no obvious injuries that backed up his claims of having been shot. A small wound to his shoulder and the holes in his shirt were unconvincing. At the scene, investigators grew concerned when they couldn’t find any bullets in the parking lot and found that no resident had called 911 to report hearing gunshots.
Nonetheless, officials initially stuck with the story that Reinosa had been shot and that his vest saved his life.
“He is doing great, thankfully,” Sheriff’s Capt. Todd Weber said at the time. “The wound was minor and he’s been treated and he’s doing well, in high spirits.”
If convicted as charged, Reinosa faces a possible maximum sentence of five years and six months in county jail. He is expected in court Friday.

RAW/deAbajoGarcia‘s squared plan of the community center photographed by montse zamorano is organized by the strategic location of the mentioned boxes
and a courtyard that polarizes the interiors
the courtyard is decentralized to generate different spatial scales on the ground level – with its floor is lowered and moved in relation with the glass enclosure
this generates shaded sitting areas on the outside during summer
and an indoor adjacent bench that receives direct sunlight through the windows during winter
the ground floor is in continuity with the site level on the south
extending the public space towards the inside and visually connecting the whole building to the street

the strategy used in section allows the introduction of a mezzanine that is hung from the main structure and offers higher privacy
its location in the perimeter creates a lineal layout for the plan with a more individual scale
taking advantage of the natural light filtered by the wooden lattice that surrounds the building. ‘the variety of particular situations
around the space or in front of the building
generates a great flexibility of use without loosing the specificity of the different scenarios,’ notes the architects.

He’ll now be the subject of a criminal investigation
We took the deputy at his word at first,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said in an interview Sunday
“We intend to hold the individual responsible for breaking the law and most importantly for betraying the community.”
“We know the what and how,” the sheriff added
The dramatic twist in the case came after days of fruitless searches for a gunman who authorities believed had shot the deputy
The incident prompted the manhunt and massive police response
with much of the focus on an apartment building next to the station
“The reported sniper assault was fabricated by our deputy,” Assistant Sheriff Robin Limon said at an unusual 11 p.m
news conference at the department’s downtown Los Angeles headquarters
These are some of the words circulating our station’s hallways since last night as our deputies try to wrap their minds around last night’s press conference surrounding the incident that occurred in our parking lot on Wednesday
claimed he was struck in the chest about 2:50 p.m
Wednesday as he walked to his car in the employee parking lot at the Lancaster station
investigators believed Reinosa’s bulletproof vest had saved his life but that a bullet had grazed his shoulder
But much of the deputy’s statement “was self-serving and didn’t make a whole lot of sense,” said Sheriff’s Capt
“There were many things that didn’t add up,” Wegener said
Though Reinosa was initially taken to a hospital for treatment
detectives said they later saw “no visible injuries,” Wegener said
Investigators and colleagues became suspicious of Reinosa’s story on the day of the shooting
His radio call about the incident was too calm even for a veteran
a hole in his shirt too big for the minor wound he claimed to have suffered
Deputies and the sheriff’s Special Enforcement Bureau halted their search for the suspected gunman
California
Sheriff’s officials spent hours overnight searching an apartment building after a gunman fired at Deputy Angel Reinosa while he walked to his car
Reinosa eventually admitted to investigators that “he was not shot as previously claimed,” Wegener said
The deputy said he used a knife to cut two holes in his shirt
But Reinosa failed to provide an explanation for his motive for fabricating the story
Reinosa had been with the Sheriff’s Department for a year and joined the Lancaster station in May for patrol training
the deputy made a radio call from the helipad at the sheriff’s station’s parking lot and reported that two shots had been fired at him from a nearby apartment building
Reinosa then went back to the station for the purpose of receiving medical help
The incident drew a massive police presence
with a SWAT team and armored vehicles called to the area
Deputies blocked off the apartment building
believing the shooter to be trapped inside
Sheriff’s officials spent hours overnight searching the apartment building
The case will be turned over to the Los Angeles County district attorney
and Reinosa will probably face charges for filing a false report about a crime
The message posted Sunday on the sheriff’s website continued:
“Our deputies responded to a cry for help and did exactly what they have been trained to do to protect our civilian staff
Our community and other first responder partners worked side by side with us to move quickly
“We are saddened by the outcome of the investigation
but are so grateful to our community for their cooperation on Wednesday and your ongoing support everyday
The actions of one individual are not indicative of who Lancaster Sheriff’s Station Deputies are.”
A search was underway late Wednesday in an apartment building where authorities believed they would find a sniper who wounded a deputy in the parking lot of the Lancaster station.
Asked for his reaction Sunday to news of the hoax, Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris said, “Of course we’re all embarrassed. There’s no doubt about that. At the same time, I’m grateful we don’t have a sniper running around. And I’m really proud of how the Sheriff’s Department handled it. There was no attempt to cover it up.”
Parris said he received a phone call from a sheriff’s official around 8:30 or 9 p.m. Saturday informing him that investigators had determined the shooting was a hoax.
Parris said it was his understanding the hoax had been discovered shortly before the call and that sheriff’s officials arranged their 11 p.m. news conference as quickly as they could.
Parris said he had been told by sheriff’s officials that Reinosa had been struggling in his first year in the field — a probationary training period that all deputies must complete before becoming full-fledged deputies.
“He was not advancing through the training program at an adequate pace,” Parris said. “There had been a lot of attention on him.”
Parris declined to elaborate further on Reinosa’s performance but said the deputy was scheduled to be transferred from the Lancaster station and speculated that he had been unhappy about the pending move.
Parris said he was “unrepentant” about comments he made in the immediate aftermath of the apparent shooting about the apartment building from which Reinosa claimed the sniper had shot.
The building, which overlooks the sheriff’s station parking lot and is used by a nonprofit organization to house people with mental illness, is a safety hazard, he said. He said he expected the building’s landlord would “work with us” either to install bulletproof windows that could not open or to erect a barrier blocking the view of the station.

Impluvium is the name of the large square plan structure built by the Madrid-based duo deAbajoGarcía to house the new multi-purpose community centre of the city of Reinosa, in Cantabria, that is being built on the site of an old market that was demolished following a fire.
Like the basin whose name it bears (located in the atrium of Roman houses to collect rainwater coming through the compluvium), the complex’s sheet metal roof is inclined towards the quadrangular opening that sits above the slightly off-centre internal courtyard. Its sunken floor creates a (external) seating area and a continuous (internal) bench all along the window, which receives direct light and heat from the sun during the cold winter months.

Police said they “urgently need to locate Reinosa following this incident.”
Reinosa is 5-foot-7, with a medium build, brown eyes and black hair. Aside from assault charges, he is also wanted for uttering threats and breaching court orders.

Akbar Al Baker the CEO for Qatar Airways does, as they say in Yorkshire, England 'owt for nowt'. Evident, when he talks about his rivals, or when his airline gains passengers and influence. The latest card up his sleeve is a Doha-Dubai shuttle service with 18 daily flights
that it's better to fly to Doha and connect with a long-haul Qatar Airways flight
Even though Emirates offers the same destination from Dubai and the Qatar Airways flight to Doha means one extra hour for the passenger
provided it is done at least three hours prior to departure
All for the modest sum of 145 euros round trip
It sort of reminds me of the 'Puente A�reo', the service between Madrid and Barcelona, which is one of the busiest European routes run by Iberia. The 'Puente A�reo', which requires no booking in advance, was created in 1974
It was a milestone for Iberia and for its passengers because it made life easier for the corporate clients and
it brought travellers from Barcelona to Madrid for stopovers for flights to Latin America
The executives now pluck a daisy to choose their form of transport �and 'she loves me' is usually for the AVE
The tourists prefer to land at Central Sants and not at the El Prat airport
Iberia is tied hand and foot to this route
there is of course an emotional component involved but
connecting traffic and the all important figures is what really matters
This scenario doesn't mean that Iberia isn't looking for a solution
it could be a shared effort between all the airlines around IAG (Iberia
until the day the AVE reachs Barajas airport (Madrid) and gets Iberia out of the fix
Qatar Airways' proposal and Iberia's 'Puente A�reo' are very alike
The Spanish airline brings passengers to its hub (connection centre) in Madrid
Iberia doesn't have a competitor in Barcelona offering long-haul flights
What Qatar Airways is trying to do is to attract Emirates' clients
But the Dubai airline doesn't need to worry yet
Emirates is bigger and flies around 20 million more passengers than Qatar Airways
Al Baker may be many things but he is not a conformist
- Al Baker (Qatar Airways): "These accusations make no sense
They don't compete with us on any direct route and they shouldn't block the beneficial cultural and trade exchange between Qatar and US just because we have decided to fly to markets they ignored
What the US carriers want is to limit the offer and
passengers all around the globe would be affected"
- Jim Callaghan (Etihad's general counsel): "US carriers have been benefitting and continue to benefit from a highly favorable legal regime
such as exemptions from certain taxes and bankruptcy protection
Eithad has just made public a report acccusing America Airlines
Delta and United of receiving 71.480 million dollars in State benefits in the last 15 years
- Doug Parker (American Airlines CEO): "Europe made a mistake letting the Gulf carriers in pretty freely and the result has been significant damage to the European carriers
Iberia and British Airways have left the Association of European Airlines
to which Lufthansa and Air France-KLM belong
the holding that controls both Iberia and British Airways
advocates liberalization in the aviation market and doesn't share the hard line taken against the Gulf carriers that the Germans and the French support
even less since Qatar Airways bought 9,9% of IAG shares and became its first individual shareholder
On the other hand,�Alitalia's decision to break its agreement with Air France-KLM
which was about to join the French-Dutch group
what was beneficial in the past is not any longer
the battle played out in the US offices is even more important in the European skies and there will be more episodes
even though it means blitzing world order and abandoning allies that could either defect overnight
