Antonio Solis, for their song “El perdedor.” He also shared the award for “my
favorite lyrics” for “Bailando” with Gente

Santos on the other hand, dominated
the most popular musical categories: “the
most popular” and “my favorite video” for
his song “Propuesta indecente.” “I play it
all” for his album “Fórmula, Vol. 2,” and
also “voice of the moment” and “my tropical artist.”
“My son rarely ever sends me a text to
wish me good luck, but tonight he did just
that, so I want to dedicate this award to
my beautiful little boy, ‘I love you,’” the socalled King of Bachata said, while accepting his first award of the night. Santos led
all singers with 12 nominations.
During the ceremony, Pitbull was
honored as Idol of the Youth for his dedication to the community.
“I always say that awards don’t mean
much because my kids don’t eat with

award from actor William Levy. “But this
award is priceless, and I’ll tell you why.
“First of all, I want to thank the city of
Miami, without you there would be no
Pitbull,” he said to a standing ovation. “I
would like to dedicate this award to the
800 kids who attend the school that I
founded in my community, and to all of
the children and families trying to cross
our border right now in search of the
American dream.”
Pitbull also won the “my urban artist”
award.

Washington wildfire

WINTHROP, Washington (AP)
A
massive wildfire that has
forced the evacuation of towns,
destroyed numerous homes
and blackened scenic hillsides in northcentral Washington has been burning
into new areas, fueled by dry conditions
and gusty winds.
The lightning-caused fire by Saturday
had scorched nearly 340 square miles in
the scenic Methow Valley. The fire was
measured at 260 square miles Friday.
Road closures and evacuations were
changing regularly, as hot weather and
winds with gusts up to 30 mph were
pushing the fire over ridge tops and
toward a cluster of small towns northeast
of Seattle.
“This is a very active and fluid situation,” fire spokesman Chuck Turey said.
People living between Carlton and
Pateros have been told to leave their
homes. The fire has downed power lines
and many towns were without electrical
power or phone service Saturday.
There were no reports of serious injuries. Minor burns and bruises had been
reported, but Turey called that “a pretty
amazing safety record.”
On Saturday, officials said that only
one more structure was destroyed overnight by the blaze.
Gov. Jay Inslee said about 50 fires were
burning in Washington, which has been
wracked by hot, dry weather, gusting
winds and lightning. Some 2,000 firefighters were working in the eastern part
of the state, with about a dozen helicopters from the Department of Natural
Resources and the National Guard, along
with a Washington State Patrol spotter
plane.
Karina Shagren, spokeswoman for the
state’s Military Department, said 100
National Guard troops were on standby,
and up to 1,000 more in Yakima could
receive additional fire training. Active
duty military could be called in as well,
Inslee said.

Migration spotlights Mexican ‘coyote’ smugglers
TECUN UMAN, Guatemala (AP)
T
he man-in-the-know nursed a
late-morning beer at a bar near
the Suchiate River that separates
Guatemala from Mexico, and answered
a question about his human smuggling
business with a question: “Do you think a
coyote is going to say he’s a coyote?”
Dressed as a migrant in shorts and
sandals but speaking like an entrepreneur, he then described shipments of tens
of thousands of dollars in human cargo
from the slums of Honduras and highlands of Guatemala to cities across the
United States.
“It’s business,” he said, agreeing to speak
to a reporter only if guaranteed anonymity. “Sometimes, business is very good.”
Judging by the dramatic increase in the
number of minors apprehended in the
United States in recent months, it seems
the human smuggling business from
Central America is booming. The vast
majority of migrants who enter the U.S.
illegally do so with the help of a network
of smugglers known as “coyotes,” so
named for the scavengers
that prowl the border.
It is a high-risk, often
high-yield business estimated to generate $6.6
billion a year for smugglers along Latin America’s
routes to the U.S., according
to a 2010 United Nations
report. The migrants pay
anywhere from $4,000 to
$10,000 each for the illegal
journey across thousands of

October to June, according to the Border
Patrol. That’s more than double the same
period last year.
The smugglers are profiting from the
rising violence in gang-ridden cities of
Central America, and the yearning of
families to be reunited; parents often
head north to find work and save money
to send for their children, sometimes
years later.
Many of the children and teenagers who travelled to the United States
recently said they did so after hearing they
would be allowed to stay. The U.S. generally releases unaccompanied children to
parents, relatives or family friends while
their cases take years to wend through
overwhelmed immigration courts. That
reality gave rise to rumors of a new law or
amnesty for children.
Some say coyotes helped spread those
rumors to drum up new business following a huge drop in Mexicans migrating
to the United States. Arrests of migrants
on the southwestern U.S. border dropped
from about 1.1 million annually a decade
ago to 415,000 last year.

Tottenham, Seattle play
entertaining 3-3 draw
Seattle Sounders’ Gonzalo Pineda, right, celebrates scoring a goal on a penalty kick against Tottenham
Hotspur as teammate Clint Dempsey joins in during the first half of a friendly soccer match in Seattle, Saturday, July 19, 2014.
SEATTLE, Washington (AP)
O
svaldo Alonso understood it
was an exhibition. It was also
a match the Seattle Sounders
wanted to win.
Alonso beat former U.S. national team
goalkeeper Brad Friedel from 30 yards
early in the second half as the Sounders tied Tottenham 3-3 in an exhibition
Saturday, the first match for new Spurs
manager Mauricio Pochettino.
‘’Every friendly is different,’’ Alonso
said. ‘’This year we tried to win the game.
... We tried to win this game like it was
the MLS regular season. I’m very happy
for the team.’’
Through half the season, Seattle’s been
the class of Major League Soccer. And
the Sounders held their own against a
Tottenham side making its debut under
Ponchettino, who left Southampton in
May to replace the fired Tim Sherwood.
Sherwood had taken over on Dec. 23
after Andre Villas-Boas was fired.
Tottenham began its preseason North
America tour facing former striker Clint
Dempsey and his new club. Dempsey left
Tottenham to sign with the Sounders last
August. Tottenham has two more stops
on its tour against Toronto and Chicago
before returning to Europe to complete
its preseason. Spurs open its Premier
League season on Aug. 16 at West Ham.
‘’I want to congratulate our players
because the conditions to play were very
difficult - 1 p.m. and warm and a different field,’’ Ponchettino said. ‘’And we play
a very good team.’’
The match, played before 55,349,
was easily Seattle’s most even exhibition against Premier League opposition. Seattle lost 2-0 and 4-2 to Chelsea
in 2009 and 2012 and was routed 7-0 by
Manchester United in 2011.
‘’When we come on these tours we
sometimes don’t know what to expect,’’
Friedel said. ‘’One thing was for certain
when we knew we were going to expect a
good atmosphere and playing against the
best team in the MLS right now.’’
The Sounders return to regular season
play on Monday when they host the Los
Angeles Galaxy in Seattle.

US outlines case against
Russia on downed plane
V
WASHINGTON (AP)
ideo of a rocket launcher, one
surface-to-air missile missing,
leaving the likely launch site.
Imagery showing the firing. Calls claiming
credit for the strike. Recordings said to reveal a
cover-up at the crash site.
"A buildup of extraordinary circumstantial
evidence ... it's powerful here," said Secretary
of State John Kerry, a former prosecutor, and
it holds Russian-supported rebels in eastern
Ukraine responsible for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, with the Kremlin complicit in the deaths of nearly 300 passengers
and crew members.
"This is the moment of truth for Russia,"
said Kerry, leveling some of Washington's
harshest criticism of Moscow since the crisis
in Ukraine began.
"Russia is supporting these separatists.
Russia is arming these separatists. Russia is
training these separatists, and Russia has not
yet done the things necessary in order to try to
bring them under control," he said.
In a round of television interviews, Kerry
cited a mix of U.S. and Ukrainian intelligence
and social media reports that he said "obviously points a very clear finger at the separatists" for firing the missile that brought the
plane down, killing nearly 300 passengers and
crew.
"It's pretty clear that this is a system that was
transferred from Russia into the hands of separatists," he said.
Video of an SA-11 launcher, with one of its
missiles missing and leaving the likely launch
site, has been authenticated, he said.
An Associated Press journalist saw a missile
launcher in rebel-held territory close to the
crash site just hours before the plane was
brought down Thursday.
"There's a buildup of extraordinary circumstantial evidence," Kerry said. "We picked up
the imagery of this launch. We know the trajectory. We know where it came from. We
know the timing, and it was exactly at the time
that this aircraft disappeared from the radar.
We also know from voice identification that
the separatists were bragging about shooting it
down afterward."
In one set of calls, said by Ukrainian security
services to have been recorded shortly after the
plane was hit, a prominent rebel commander,
Igor Bezler, tells a Russian military intelligence
officer that rebel forces shot down a plane.
Shortly before Kerry's television appearances, the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, the Ukrainian
capital, released a statement saying experts had
authenticated the calls.

INTERNATIONAL
Scores dead in first major ground battle in Gaza
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP)
T
he first major ground battle in
two weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting exacted a steep price Sunday:
It killed 65 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers and forced thousands of terrified Palestinian civilians to flee their neighborhood, reportedly used to launch rockets at
Israel and now devastated by the fighting.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the offensive would continue
“as long as necessary” to end attacks from
Gaza on Israeli civilians.
But Hamas seems defiant, international
cease-fire efforts are stalled, and international criticism is becoming more vocal as
the death toll among Palestinian civilians
rises.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon called Israel’s latest incursion “atrocious,” and said
it must do far more to protect civilians.
The U.N. Security Council was holding
an emergency session Sunday night at the
request of council member Jordan on the
situation in Gaza.
In Israel, public opinion will strug-
gle to tolerate rising military losses in an open-ended
campaign. Already, Sunday’s
deaths marked the highest
number of soldiers killed on a
single day since Israel’s war in
Lebanon in 2006.
The ferocious battle in
Gaza City’s Shijaiyah neighborhood came on the third
day of Israel’s ground offensive, which had been preceded by a 10-day air camSmoke and flare of an explosion rise after an Israeli missile hit the

allied militants seized an Israeli soldier in
a cross-border raid in 2006 and held him
captive in Gaza until Israel traded more
than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, some of
whom were involved in grisly killings, for
his return in 2011.
Sunday’s battle began when Israeli
troops backed by tanks entered the densely
populated Shijaiyah district just after midnight Sunday. They were met by a “huge”
level of resistance by Hamas fighters who
fired anti-tank missiles, rocket-propelled
grenades and automatic weapons from
houses and buildings, said Lt. Col. Peter
Lerner, an army spokesman.
Residents said they came under intense
Israeli tank fire.
“The gate of hell has opened, and shrapnel came through the windows,” Shijaiyah
resident Jawad Hassanain said by phone.
He and his family fled to a nearby building
after their house shook from explosions.
After daybreak, the extent of the devastation slowly became apparent: At least
65 Palestinians had been killed and nearly
300 wounded, Gaza health officials said,
while dozens of homes badly damaged or
destroyed.

The idea of this enormous project is to
provide easier marine transport and the
eradication of poverty in that Central
American country, while also benefiting
humanity with a more simple transport
route for goods between the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans.
Although it is still uncertain who exactly
will be financing
the $50 billion
project, the Nicaraguan
government and Wang
Jing,
president
and CEO of Hong
Kong
Nicaragua Development
(HKND)
Group,
}Lorena Barboza
have both said that
they project initially slated to begin construction in May 2013, will finally begin
by the end of this year.
According to the plans, the definitive
and most costly route will be the 278
kilometers that will unite the Brito River
with Punta Gorda, which will then lead
to 105 kilometers over Lake Cocibolca;
this is considered the most secure route
that will benefit the socio-economic well
being of the country and those using
the canal.

Among the other benefits of the project
are the estimated 200,000 jobs that
will be created, the 5 percent of international barge traffic, and the access to
the free trade zones of the Caribbean
coast and the Pacific coast of Nicaragua.
However, there are some serious doubts
over this Nicaraguan dream. There are
still many unanswered questions. For
example there is no clarity on the legal
uncertainty in the proposed tourist
sites, and the damage to Lake Cocibolca, something that worries environmentalists.
Panama already has their own experience with a canal. We’ll have to wait and
see if this new project is actually completed and brings the expected benefits.
Among them that the "Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) of Nicaragua double by
2018, while the rate of formal employment triples", according to Paul Oquist,
secretary of public policies of the Presidency of the Republic of Nicaragua.
Have a happy week, and God Bless!

Wisdom for your decisions
Dear Dave,
My mom is 71 and debt-free. She’s
investing $600 a month in a universal
life insurance policy worth
$250,000 because she
wants to leave something behind when she
dies. What could she
invest this money in,
other than the life insurance policy, in order to
Dave Ramsey
leave an estate?
Steve
Dear Steve,
This is a good question. You don’t use
life insurance to leave an estate. It’s a
bad idea. You leave an estate by saving
and investing. The only people who will
tell you to use a life insurance policy to
leave an estate are life insurance salesmen.
Unless she’s ill, I wouldn’t keep the
policy. Instead, I’d do some long-term
investing. It won’t take long to get to
$250,000 with $7,200 a year. It’s the
kind of thing that sounds like it’ll take
forever, but you’ve got to remember
you’ve got growth and interest in the
equation. I wouldn’t put money into a
life insurance policy at age 71, unless
there’s someone being left behind who
really needs the money — and it doesn’t
sound like there is in this case.
It would probably take about 13 years
for the money to turn into $250,000.
Assuming she’s healthy, I’d rather do
that and bet on her living. That way,
she can leave an estate and avoid the
expense and rip-off part of the universal life policy.
