Gov’t to use AI to recruit public workers

By THE STAR STAFF

The Puerto Rico government, which has long been accused of using political considerations instead of merit in its hiring, is now exploring using artificial intelligence to recruit workers.

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia and the executive director of the Office of Human Resources Administration and Transformation (OATRH by its Spanish initials), Zahira Maldonado, announced the start of a pilot plan that seeks to reform talent acquisition and management processes using artificial intelligence (AI).

With the project, Puerto Rico has become one of the first jurisdictions nationwide where the public sector is working on a skills-based talent recruitment approach using AI.

The initiative is part of a collaboration between the OATRH and the Financial Oversight and Management Board as part of a process to implement public service reform.

The new platform, which will begin as a pilot project, was developed by Eightfold AI, a technology company specializing in AI solutions applied to human resources and talent management. The government agencies participating in the pilot plan are the departments of Treasury, Economic Development & Commerce, and Education, and the Office of Management and Budget, the Institute of Forensic Sciences, the Puerto Rico Innovation and Technology Service (PRITS), and OATRH.

“My administration and I are extremely committed to our public servants, to ensuring that they are properly trained and compensated, and to ensure that the people of Puerto Rico have the best talent, we have to provide them with an efficient government that is responsive to their needs,” the governor said during the announcement, at which Arnaldo Cruz, the oversight board’s director of research and public policy, as well as PRITS Executive Director Antonio Ramos were also present. “Today, we take another step forward in

our public service reform and announce the start of another cutting-edge project that improves the recruitment of government personnel and is part of our continued efforts to optimize the management of our human resources, guided by the principle of merit in recruiting.”

The governor noted that two years ago, “we launched the original platform, trabajos.pr.gov, where people could view and apply for positions currently available in the government. In this new version, interested applicants can upload their resume to the system, and it will match the calls for which they qualify, according to their skills.”

“Likewise, the platform will use artificial intelligence technology, advanced machine learning algorithms and predictive analysis that will help both the applicant and the recruiter match the best person with the most suitable position, according to their qualities,” Pierluisi added.

On the platform, each applicant can be part of the government’s Talent Network, once they upload their resume to the system, so that future recruiters can search for available candidates. At the same time, the platform will advise applicants to improve their resumes and help them prepare them.

Maldonado stated that “following our vision of having a centralized, uniform, effective human resources system with the best talents we have in Puerto Rico, we have developed a platform that allows accessibility and an easy recruitment process using artificial intelligence as assistance.”

“This is another important link in the reform to make the government more competitive and attractive,” she said. “With the implementation of the classification and compensation plan last year we were finally able to establish competitive salaries for positions. Now we want the best talents in Puerto Rico to see the government as a place of development and growth.”

Robert Mujica, the executive director of the oversight board, said “we will continue to collaborate with the government in this reform, which is essential for the transformation of the government and to meet the objectives of PROMESA [the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act].”

“We congratulate the government for taking this great step,” he said. “They have our support and collaboration.”

As part of the pilot project, the OATRH issued special standards, developed jointly with the oversight board, that apply to human resources processes in the participating agencies. The regulations govern the implementation of new talent acquisition and management processes so that the viability and effects of those processes can be evaluated and the corresponding modifications made, before their final application to the rest of the government.

“This is truly innovative work within the public sector that could become a model for other governments within the States, and internationally, on how to use AI for talent acquisition and improving growth opportunities for government employees,” said Kevin Burgess, director of Eightfold’s public sector practice.

Salinas mayor says she will appeal GEO fine

By THE STAR STAFF

Salinas Mayor Karilyn Bonilla Colón said Monday that she will appeal a $19,000 fine imposed by the Government Ethics Office (GEO).

The GEO recommended the fine for the appointment of an administrative assistant as interim director of the southern coastal municipality’s Office of Finance from October 2017 until Aug. 5, 2018 and from Oct. 24, 2018 to July 31, 2020.

“Due to the need for service, the person was assigned additional tasks to his position as Administrative Assistant while the appointment of a director of the Finance Department was completed,” the mayor said. “In fact, the assistant was never properly appointed as director, and currently she no longer works in the Municipality of Salinas.”

“The problem is that the GEO resolved the case without giving us an opportunity to hear it, violating due process of law,” Bonilla Colón added. “This is a selective case. […] New Progressive Party mayors have had the same administrative accusations without being fined, and there are not even

complaints from Ethics.”

For instance, Nino Correa Filomeno, the commissioner of the island Bureau of Emergency Management and Disaster Administration, held that position on an interim basis for three years, due to the need for services, without meeting the requirements of the law. In this case, the GEO did not single out Gov. Pedro Pierluisi.

“What happened here was the payment of a differential that was given to an employee to perform additional tasks, in accordance with the defunct Law of Autonomous Municipalities, due to the resignation of the Director of Finance and so as not to paralyze municipal operations,” said Bonilla Colón, a member of the Popular Democratic Party. “There is no misappropriation of public funds here, nor any intention of profit. Furthermore, the GEO did not give us the opportunity to express ourselves or present witnesses.”

The mayor noted that the municipality, in the midst of the events of Hurricane Maria and the pandemic, suffered alterations in its operations, which delayed the appointment of a finance director.

The tasks of a finance director are critical in the functioning of every municipality, the GEO said in justifying the decision.

However, the mayor said it did not consider it in this case and deprived the mayor of presenting witnesses to explain the circumstances experienced by the municipality.

By THE STAR STAFF

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said Monday that he expects Puerto Rico’s reconstruction process to be front and center when Vice President Kamala Harris visits the island later this month.

“Reconstruction, I would say, is the topic that immediately comes to mind,” the governor said in response to questions from the press. “Puerto Rico is in the midst of a reconstruction never seen before. Oh, and using federal funds to carry it out, so that is a mandatory topic; it is a topic of great interest … as there may be many others.”

“Energy, for example,” Pierluisi added. “It’s part of the

reconstruction, the transformation of the energy system, so that too can be a topic of interest for the vice president, since she is the one who will decide, with her work team, what she dedicates her time to while she is in Puerto Rico.”

Harris is due to arrive on the island on Friday, March 22 to underscore the Biden administration’s commitment to and support for the recovery and reconstruction of Puerto Rico. During her visit, she will highlight how the administration’s Investing in America agenda – including the historic American Rescue Plan Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act – are producing results and bringing good jobs to the island.

It will be Harris’ first visit to Puerto RIco as vice president.

Gaming event to have special area for players with functional diversity

By THE STAR STAFF

As part of a solidarity and inclusion initiative, the 10th edition of the Winter Clash gaming event will have a special area with adaptive controls for people with functional diversity.

The Tiburón Gaming Foundation will be in charge of the special video game area for the enjoyment of fans with some type of limitation.

Likewise, part of the proceeds from spectator tickets for the event, to be held on March 23 at Pedrín Zorrilla Coliseum in Hato Rey, will go to the Education and Rehabilitation Society (SER by its Spanish initials) of Puerto Rico.

“We are excited that all gamers can enjoy this experience without any limitation and at the same time

contribute to the efforts of SER de Puerto Rico to continue with its legendary work of positively impacting the quality of life of its participants,” said Ricardo “Mono” Román, producer of First Attack and captain of Team Red Rooster.

Winter Clash 2024 will be the first international tournament in Puerto Rico for the Tekken 8 categories. There will also be Under Night In Birth Sys Celes and Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising tournaments, and categories such as: Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1, Super Smash Bros, Ultimate, Dragonball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Strive, The King of Fighter XV and Valorant. The previous First Attack event last year received great support from participants.

Winter Clash 2024 will have areas of virtual reality, retro gaming, dance tournaments (Dance Dance Revolution), interactive dynamics and raffles, and this year will include the card tournament category (Trading Card Games).

Part of the proceeds from ticket sales for the event will go to the Education and Rehabilitation Society of Puerto Rico.

PDP candidate for San Juan mayor outlines strategic plan for ‘hope & action’

By THE STAR STAFF

Terestella González Denton, the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for mayor of San Juan, said Monday that one of her priorities if elected will be to eradicate the overriding feeling of pessimism among citizens of the capital city about their future, as evidenced in recent polls.

“That’s what I’ve experienced in the walks I’ve been doing since the beginning of the year in the communities of San Juan,” she said. “I come to transform that pessimism into hope and action. San Juan deserves more than it has right now.

The president of the PDP’s San Juan municipal committee said the focus of her work as mayor will be to improve the quality of life of the people of San Juan.

“Quality of life is not a cliché, it is not a campaign slogan or an empty promise,” she said. “Quality of life is a concept that seeks to denote the well-being of the individual in his or her deepest understanding of social, family and self-related relationships. In San Juan, it translates into health, economy, security, education, housing and environmental satisfaction.”

Quality of life, at the formal level, is visualized when biological, economic, social and psychological demands are met individually up to the community level, González Denton added. It is a broad concept that is achieved through health, safety, education, physiological state, level of independence, social relationships and relationship with the environment, as well as self-pride.

The candidate said she is developing a strategic plan with elements that seek to establish “fundamental rights, sports, health,

access to cultural assets, security and housing for individuals and families in our capital city.”

The elements include:

1) Transform the education system, to offer students a

comprehensive education, including access to the creation and consumption of cultural goods, and to turn the school into the center of socioeconomic activity in their communities.

2) Develop the potential of sport and recreation as a tool for social transformation and economic development.

3) Strengthen the family as an institution of primary socialization and as a participatory entity in the economic, social and political life of San Juan.

4) Develop an integrated health strategy for the entire population, focused on prevention, that is equitable, sustainable and effective.

5) Ensure the right to adequate housing for the different demographic groups, promoting sustainable construction and, above all, housing rehabilitation.

6) Develop as a municipality the capacity to prevent, mitigate, and protect and recover from the threats that represent the greatest risk to the quality of life of citizens.

“It must be the first responsibility of every municipality to contribute so that every citizen can aspire to a full life, of hope, with real opportunities in tune with their talents and abilities,” González Denton said. “A healthy, safe and happy San Juan, in which we have sustained public education as supportive, autonomous, sustainable, and innovative, connected and interdependent communities. A model city that promotes and appreciates art and culture, as an expression of its identity; that adopts sport, physical activity and recreation as part of its lifestyle; and where the rights and well-being of individuals and families are respected and protected.”

National Guard joins the search for soldier swept away by strong waves off Condado

By THE STAR STAFF

The Puerto Rico National Guard (PRNG) joined search efforts on Monday for a guard member who was swept away by strong waves in the Ventana al Mar area of Condado while trying to rescue a tourist who had been pulled out to sea.

“We are supporting the Emergency Management Corps of

the municipality of San Juan and the Coast Guard in the search for our colleague, who is a permanent employee of the Puerto Rico National Guard,” said the Maj. Gen. Miguel Méndez, the adjutant general of Puerto Rico, in a written statement. “We join not only in the search efforts but also in support of his family and other fellow soldiers.”

Méndez identified the missing soldier as State Sgt. Fidel Cruz

Llanos, whom he described as a helpful, educated, good-hearted person and very committed to his work and his organization.

The PRNG arrived at the scene with a team of resources made up of experts in the areas of aviation, medicine, psychology and social work to support the family members there.

The adjutant general said the PRNG would remain at the scene until search and rescue operations were completed.

Agriculture, Education departments team to boost student interest in agro sector

By THE STAR STAFF

The island Agriculture and Education departments have joined forces to train students from the public education system in agricultural topics through the AgroEdu initiative, an educational project that seeks to increase the interest of young people in Puerto Rico’s agriculture and agribusiness.

Under the joint initiative, AgroEdu seeks to promote agricultural development and provide significant educational opportunities that allow students to be trained for potential careers in agriculture. Likewise, the agreement promotes education about caring for the environment, healthy eating and the development

of practical skills.

“Through this alliance we want to prepare the next generation of farmers by providing our young people who view agriculture as a livelihood mechanism and business opportunity with opportunities to develop, so that they become part of the growth of the agricultural sector,” Agriculture Secretary Ramón González Beiró said in a written statement. “Likewise, we are exposing students to topics such as food education, and generating interest in agriculture, an essential profession for the development of society.”

The Education secretary added that “part of our policy is to promote and encourage our schools to expose students to these topics that are core to self-sustainability and economic

and social development.”

“Agreements like this awaken greater interest in them to join this industry that is constantly growing and whose demand is increasing,” Raíces Vega said. “We trust that it will be beneficial and, after the agreement, we can expand these services to communities throughout Puerto Rico.”

Through the first phase of AgroEdu in the barista course, 25 students from Domingo Aponte School in Lares received introductory training on coffee agriculture and barista fundamentals, as well as preparation, self-employment opportunities and businesses in the sector, in a hands-on scenario at Hacienda Moraica in Orocovis.

Loíza mayor to receive award from Chicago diaspora community

By THE STAR STAFF

The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance (PRAA), an entity established in 1988 in Chicago, announced Monday that this year’s edition of the Felisa Rincón de Gautier Award will be presented to several individuals, including the Loíza Mayor Julia Nazario Fuentes.

The event will take place on Thursday at 6 p.m. at PRAA headquarters at 3000 Elbridge Avenue in Chicago.

The event, “Honoring Exemplary Leaders for Their Distinguished Commitment to Our Community,” is sponsored by Amazon, CBS’s Channel 5 Chicago and Telemundo Chicago, as well as the Felisa Rincón de Gautier Foundation. Five other personalities will receive the award by categories: businesswoman Elizabeth Colón, business leader David Olivencia, journalist Ana María Belaval and public servant Marisel Hernández, while the “our mother” distinction is dedicated to Nelly Ramírez.

The PRAA, founded and led by Carlos Hernández Falcón, is a widely recognized nonprofit organization focused on music and art with 25 years of service to the community, where it develops culturally enriching and transformative programs, performances, exhibitions and events.

“Our work inspires about 30,000 people a year while encouraging future generations to increase appreciation

for Puerto Rican art. heritage and culture,” the PRAA said in a press release.

Nazario Fuentes welcomed the news from the PRAA and confirmed her participation on behalf of her town and people.

“The bonds of brotherhood that unite us with the diaspora throughout the United States, particularly with Chicago, are great and firm, because of how generous they have been with the people of Loíza after the passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria,” the mayor said. “Let’s remember that they both hit two weeks apart.”

Nazario Fuentes celebrated the fact that the PRAA “from its origins in the home of Carlos Hernández Falcón in the Puerto Rican community of Humboldt Park, to the creation of the Festival del Cuatro and its incorporation into the Chicago Park District Artists in Residency Program, has exercised generous leadership in the community.”

“The PRAA has promoted female creation with the [art exhibition] initiative ‘Seis Mujeres,’ among many other magnificent activities, such as musical education for young people and children,” she said.

The PRAA’s work has been recognized by the Emmy Awards and together with the Smithsonian Institute, and among its missions has been to highlight the philanthropic and sports work of Puerto Rican baseball legend Roberto Clemente Walker.

“Certainly, the PRAA is a successful example for Puerto Rico, for the United States and for the entire world in the noble task of cultural management,” Nazario Fuentes said.

LIFT signs lease for facilities in Caguas

By THE STAR STAFF

LIFT, the Detroit-based Department of Defense national manufacturing innovation institute, has signed a lease on a 28,000-square-foot facility at Lincoln Plaza in Caguas as a satellite of its Detroit headquarters.

The U.S. Department of Defense provided the information.

As it has done in Detroit over the past 10 years, LIFT will convene leading technology partners to conduct development activities in advanced materials and manufacturing processes and advanced manufacturing workforce training. Under the five-year lease, the institute will occupy the top floor of Lincoln Plaza to conduct its activities.

Manufacturing accounts for nearly half of the gross domestic product of Puerto Rico and the island has a long history of manufacturing and a diverse manufacturing economy, including biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, agroecology, aerospace, electronics, computing, engineering, construction and apparel, the Defense Department noted.

“As a national manufacturing innovation institute, we have a national mandate to support manufacturers

and their workforce wherever we can, and that includes opening this new satellite facility in Puerto Rico,” said Nigel Francis, LIFT CEO and executive director. “There is no doubt that innovation is ‘place based,’ which means we not only plan to bring the support of our existing ecosystem to support Puerto Rican manufacturers but are developing an engaged ecosystem of local manufacturers and helping

advance their technologies toward commercialization.”

The institute, a nonprofit public-private partnership between industry, academia and government, recently announced a $1 million grant from the Department of Defense, through the Office of Naval Research, to support its activities on the island. That followed an initial $1.9 million in funding from the Department of Defense Manufacturing Technology Program, overseen by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and announced in 2022, the firm said.

“The presence of LIFT in our city represents a potential catalyst for the economic and technological development of Caguas and all of Puerto Rico,” said Caguas Mayor William Miranda Torres. “This Institute plays a fundamental role in promoting innovation and research in the manufacturing of lightweight materials. Its collaborative approach between industry, academic institutions and government will create an enabling environment in our region to address technological challenges, accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies and improve the competitiveness of our local companies. In addition, it will contribute to the generation of specialized jobs, thus promoting a vibrant workforce.”

Under a five-year lease, LIFT will convene leading technology partners to conduct development activities in advanced materials and manufacturing processes, along with workforce training, on the top floor of Lincoln Plaza in Caguas.

For a growing number of Latinos, homebuying is a family affair

By COLETTE COLEMAN

Whenever Danae Vega, 33, took a shower in her Southern California home, it was an ordeal. The pipes were broken, so the water didn’t drain. Each time, she would have to ask her younger brothers to manually remove the water so the next person in the family of eight could take a shower. Demanding that the landlord repair the pipes was not an option. “When we would tell the owner to fix it, he would always threaten us: ‘If I fix it, I’m going to have to include this in raising the rent,’” she said.

Even without installing new pipes, he increased it, though, and often: Vega cited repeated substantial hikes in 2022 and 2023. Needing to leave that situation and not wanting to end up in a similar one, she and her two sisters, three brothers, and parents decided to buy a home.

The Vegas are among a growing number of Latinos becoming homeowners in the United States. From 2019 to 2022, the Hispanic homeownership rate increased more than that of any other demographic group, said Jung Hyun Choi, a principal research associate at the Urban Institute, a think tank. A study by the Urban Institute projects that between 2020 and 2040, 70% of net new homeowners will be Hispanic.

For many Latinos, including the Vegas, first-time homeownership in a time of low inventory and high interest rates is possible because they are buying as a family, combining incomes and relying on members with the best credit to take the lead.

And many Latinos are already living in multigenerational homes. Analyzing data from the American Community Survey, Choi found that 63% of Latino households are multigenerational, compared with about 57% of Asian American households and less than 50% of Black or white households.

Oralia Herrera, a broker in the Chicago area who founded a local chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, said that over her 33 years in real estate, multigenerational buying had been cyclical, and is returning now because of the housing market’s challenges.

“When I first began my career, I saw a lot of that,” she said. “It was the first time that Latinos in my community were buying, and it was almost a given that we would have to put two to three names on that contract

in order to get the loan.” She explained that there was a subsequent period of “better jobs, stability,” and “better earnings,” which led to individual home buying. But now, because of high prices, “we’re back to where I started,” Herrera said.

And not just in the Chicago market, according to NAHREP: In a 2022 study, 19 out of 25 top real estate practitioners from around the country “reported an increase in co-borrowing, particularly among family members.”

There are a number of ways family members can become homeowners as a unit. In some cases, all family members who contribute financially are borrowers and legal owners. In other cases, some family members are involved unofficially if their borrowing profiles may lead to less preferable loan terms.

Vega said her parents, who are originally from Michoacán, Mexico, tried to buy a house multiple times, but it never worked out. In one instance, she recalled, friends talked them out of it: “They’d be saying: ‘Why are you going to get it? So much responsibility.’” Another time, issues with credit stood in their way, Vega said.

So in March 2023, Vega and her 28-yearold sister Ashley were the ones to purchase the $331,000 three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on half an acre in San Bernardino County that the whole family now lives in.

The Vega sisters’ position — as not just first-time homeowners, but first-generation

homeowners — is common for new Hispanic buyers, according to Laura Arce, senior vice president for economic initiatives at UnidosUS, a civil rights organization. Latinos, she said, are “the largest share of the new homebuyers coming forward.”

In 1994, the Hispanic homeownership rate was 40.3%. At the end of 2023, it was 49.8%. The increase is especially notable because over those decades, the Hispanic population in the United States nearly tripled — to 62.1 million in 2020, from 22.4 million in 1990.

Though Danae and Ashley Vega are the only ones on the deed, they see their home as a communal asset. The whole family helped in the property search, and everyone contributes, whether financially or domestically. “My dad has already built a chicken coop outside,” Danae said. “My mom already decorated the whole living room and the kitchen. It doesn’t feel like it’s just my house or my sister’s house. It feels like it’s all of ours.”

In many cases of multigenerational buying, the home is not only thought of as belonging to members across generations — it legally does, too. Alexandra García, 21, and her father, Rosalio García, 52, together bought their first home last year in Las Vegas. They were eager to own because renting felt like a waste of money. “In the 10 years that I was living at the previous home renting, I practically threw more than $100,000 in the garbage,” Rosalio García said in Spanish.

For Rosalio García, an auto mechanic who immigrated from Nayarit, Mexico, over 30 years ago, homeownership was inaccessible largely because he had no credit history. This lack of established credit is common among Hispanic immigrants, according to Vicky Garcia, the chief executive of the Latino Community Credit Union. “In Latin America, having credit is a bad thing,” said Vicky Garcia, who is originally from Colombia. “If you don’t need a credit card because you have enough cash to live on, you don’t get a credit card.” Others may hold off because they do not understand how the system works or feel intimidated by commercial banks, she explained.

Unlike her father, Alexandra García got credit cards from retail stores starting at age 18, followed by cards from big banks, but her job at a TJ Maxx warehouse did not make her feel “financially stable” enough to buy a home on her own. So she added her father as an authorized user on her credit cards, which gave him credit history, and in July they bought the $375,000 1,600-squarefoot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that they live in with Alexandra García’s twin sister and her mother, Rosalio García’s wife. Both Alexandra and Rosalio García are on the home deed and the loan.

For Alexandra, sharing her credit and helping her family purchase their first home was an honor. “Our parents, they’ve done so much for us,” she said. “There’s something that we could do for them to give them that favor back.”

Alejandro Rodriguez, 25, in Mesquite, Texas, also relished being able to help his 48-year-old mother, a Mexican immigrant, achieve her “American dream,” after years of moving around in rentals during his childhood. A few months ago, he co-signed and closed on the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,500-square-foot home that his mother and brothers live in. “I was on the brink of tears, I guess you could say, just because it’s been a dream of my mom to own a house, and I know how much she sacrificed for us,” he said. “It was a great feeling.”

Credit is not the only barrier to homeownership that is driving multigenerational buying. With today’s high home prices, many families find it advantageous, and often necessary, to combine incomes to qualify for a loan.

Amid criticism, Britt seeks to defend her misleading border comments

By MAGGIE ASTOR

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., on Sunday sought to defend comments she made in her response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Thursday, when she described the experience of a woman who was sexually trafficked in Mexico between 2004 and 2008 in a way that falsely implied it had happened in the United States under Biden.

“No,” Britt said on “Fox News Sunday” when the host, Shannon Bream, asked whether she had intended to suggest that. She went on to argue that viewers should have parsed her wording to understand that she wasn’t referring to a recent case.

“I very clearly said I spoke to a woman who told me about when she was trafficked when she was 12,” she said. “I didn’t say a teenager. I didn’t say a young woman. A grown woman, a woman, when she was trafficked when she was 12.”

Britt’s story has received intense scrutiny since an independent journalist, Jonathan Katz, posted a video on TikTok on Friday highlighting the misleading framing. Former President Donald Trump praised Britt for her speech. But it has drawn criticism even from some Republicans, who questioned her delivery and her choice to speak from her kitchen, and “Saturday

Night Live” mocked it.

After criticizing some of Biden’s immigration policies in his first 100 days in office — including a halt to border-wall construction, though construction has since continued, and a pause on some deportations, which she falsely described

as his having “stopped all deportations” — Britt said in the Fox interview that she had referred to the woman, Karla Jacinto Romero, because Jacinto is an advocate for the welfare of victims of similar crimes that are “happening now at an astronomical rate.”

For a growing number of Latinos, homebuying is a family affair

From page 7

first-time homeowners do often go on to buy individually later, according to Nora Aguirre, the 2024 president of NAHREP and a veteran real estate agent who worked with the Garcías in Las Vegas. “That first transaction

for everybody becomes an opportunity to learn and understand the process,” she said. “Once they get it done, very often right after is when we’ll get the call that they actually want to know what they need to do so they can really prepare for the next purchase.” No longer daunted by the process, they are “more at ease with becoming homeowners on their own,” she said.

But there can be complications when adult children decide to buy on their own after co-buying with parents. Anabeth Rosado, a housing counselor with the nonprofit Congreso de Latinos Unidos in Philadelphia, advises younger clients to think about the long-term sustainability of the situation.

“Some of these people don’t see themselves staying with their parents forever,” she said. Rosado urges them to pay attention to

She said human trafficking had grown into a $13 billion industry from a $500 million industry in 2018. That statistic is from 2022, meaning the increase came over a four-year period roughly equally divided between the Trump and Biden administrations.

“We have to tell those stories, and the liberal media needs to pay attention to it, because there are victims all the way coming to the border, there are victims at the border and then there are victims all throughout our country,” Britt said. “And to me, it is disgusting to try to silence the voice of telling the story of what it is like to be sex trafficked when we know that that is one of the things that the drug cartels are profiting most off of.”

Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, noted that congressional Republicans opposed a bipartisan border-security deal earlier this year. The bill stalled after Trump came out against it, indicating that he didn’t want it to pass because Republicans might not be able to keep campaigning on a border crisis.

“Instead of telling more debunked lies to justify opposing the toughest bipartisan border legislation in modern history, Sen. Britt should stop choosing human smugglers and fentanyl traffickers over our national security and the Border Patrol Union,” Bates said.

residency requirements with homebuying grants.

Meanwhile, older clients should plan for the possibility that they will become empty nesters and their children will not contribute through the entire loan term, said Jose Deleon, another counselor at Congreso. “You’ve just got to think further along the line, where they’re not living there and if you’re still paying that mortgage,” he said.

These potential changes in household composition can make lenders wary of multigenerational buyers. “There is a bias against families who pool their resources to purchase a home,” said Gary Acosta, NAHREP’s chief executive and co-founder. They may be considered “riskier,” he said, because if a family member who joined the loan just to secure financing does not live

in the property, moves out, or rents another place, the person is “not as vested in that property.”

Even beyond the issues with lenders, Acosta said he did not think multigenerational buying was ideal, because it’s often not done by choice. “I think it’s a reaction to what I consider to be one of the most challenging affordability crises that we’ve seen in a generation or more in the industry,” he said. “People are doing what they have to do, not necessarily what they want to do.”

Ricardo Ponce, a real estate broker whose firm worked with Danae Vega in Southern California, agreed. “The area that we’re in, a huge amount of the customers are Latino, and I think they just figure out a way to be a homeowner,” he said. “I think that’s everybody’s dream.”

The functional dysfunctional Congress

By CARL HULSE

The congressional theater around federal spending fights that have repeatedly brought the government to the brink of a disastrous shutdown over the past six months, only to be resolved just in the nick of time to avoid one, has become very predictable.

For days before a Friday midnight deadline, there is no official word of a compromise between Republicans and Democrats that will avert the crackup. But behind the scenes, members of the appropriations committees in both parties are hammering out complex deals among themselves.

Speaker Mike Johnson hems and haws publicly — and even in private — about whether he is willing to agree to the emerging compromise but ultimately insists that Republicans must avoid shutting down the government and claims they got some wins despite failing to secure the spending cuts and policy mandates they wanted. He puts the legislation on the floor using a maneuver that effectively deprives hard-right Republican rebels of the means to block it. The archconservatives breathe fire and condemn it, but the bill passes easily, with far more Democratic than Republican support.

Johnson keeps his job anyway. The Senate sends the measure to President Joe Biden, who quickly signs it.

Welcome to functional dysfunction, an emerging form of minimalist coalition government that has taken hold on Capitol Hill in a divided Congress where the House majority is barely in control. It’s a dynamic that is keeping the government’s lights on — but doing little else so far.

“We have found a way,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. and a senior member of the Appropriations Committee. “It is not a pretty sight, but it is working.”

As Congress finally closes in on completing its basic job of funding the government, albeit six months late, the outcome of the latest spending fight illustrates what happens when an extreme bloc of the House majority — in this case, far-right Republicans — digs in and refuses to compromise, forcing their colleagues into the arms of the minority. The legislation has to be shaped more to the liking of the minority — now the Democrats — and the archconservatives lose out entirely.

If there is a “uniparty,” as members of the far right have

long contended, they have helped to empower it.

“We’ve said all along that we’re either going to lock arms and do this together, or you are going to force us to have to water these things down, make them more expensive and accept things that we would prefer not to accept in order to be able to move something across the finish line,” Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark. and another senior appropriator, said in explaining the dynamic with the far right.

The failure to bend the spending curve significantly more in their direction has left ultraconservatives in the House frustrated and flailing. They attack the spending bills as Washington business-as-usual packages that make no real attempt to exact the deep spending cuts Republicans pledged they would deliver when they took over the House last year.

“The fact of the matter is, all of this is just a shell game,” said Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas. He was one of the few critics who took to the House floor last week to lay into the six-bill spending package that in the end passed the House in overwhelming bipartisan fashion Wednesday and passed the Senate by a lopsided margin on Friday.

He and others are discovering that the vast majority of their colleagues just do not embrace the slash-and-burn shutdown tactics that those on the far right would willingly deploy in the interest of winning some deep spending reductions in an election year.

“People get comfortable with the status quo, and it works for them,” Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said about the resistance within his own party to significantly paring back spending and disrupting the government.

With Republicans holding a razor-thin majority, the conservative refusal to go along has left Johnson little choice but to deal with Democrats if he wants to avoid a government closure — and like his doomed predecessor, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, he has made clear time and again that he does.

In the end, anti-spending conservatives say there is little more they can do if most House Republicans are unwilling to entertain another coup against the speaker after the chaos spurred by McCarthy’s ouster last year.

“We tried structural change, and that didn’t work,” said Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo. “We did a personnel change, and that hasn’t worked. What’s left at this point — another personnel

a sort of coalition government to avoid a shutdown. (Kenny Holston/The New York Times)

change? Nobody seems to want to do that.”

The spending situation has worked to the advantage of Democrats. Although the six spending measures passed this week were not written the way Democrats would have insisted were they in the majority, all but two House Democrats supported them, along with 132 Republicans; 83 Republicans voted no. Democrats said they were able to use their influence to keep a bevy of provisions sought by the far right out of the legislation. Republicans knew they had to strip most of them in order to win the Democratic votes necessary to pass the legislation, since the conservatives refused to vote for the spending bills under any circumstance.

Still, those who have backed the spending bills over the fervent but so far ineffectual opposition from the far right say they are satisfied with what has transpired, with both parties getting some wins and taking some losses while keeping the government open.

“Both sides can claim some victories in this thing,” Womack said of the legislation passed last week. “And, gosh, isn’t that the way this is supposed to work?”

New York State trooper among those killed in military helicopter crash

By ALI WATKINS

Two members of the New York state National Guard were identified as victims in a military helicopter crash that killed three people in Texas on Friday near the U.S.Mexico border.

John M. Grassia III, a New York state trooper, and Casey Frankoski, a National Guard helicopter pilot, were killed near La Grulla, Texas, when the chopper crashed into a field. Chris Luna, a U.S. Border Patrol agent, also died in the crash, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

All three had been deployed along the southern U.S.

border since October.

The death of Grassia, 30, was announced by the New York state troopers union in a social media post, which said he had joined the force in 2022. Frankoski was named in a Facebook post by the mayor of her hometown, Rensselaer, New York, where her father is a retired police chief.

The operation last week was said to be a “routine mission” along the U.S.-Mexico border, where Grassia, Frankoski, and two others were working with Joint Task Force North, a U.S. Defense Department initiative that tracks the boundary along with local and federal law enforcement.

The group had been “providing monitoring and detecting

capabilities along that sector of the border,” said Maj. Ryan Wierzbicki, a spokesperson for the task force.

The helicopter was following people who were illegally crossing into the United States when it crashed, according to Judge Eloy Vera, a top local official in Starr County, the site of the accident.

Army investigators arrived at the site this weekend and were expected to comb the wreckage for the black box of the aircraft, a UH-72 Lakota, used regularly in such missions by the Army as a light utility aircraft.

A third National Guard member was seriously injured in the crash, the National Guard said.

About 63,000 infant swings are recalled over suffocation hazard

By JOHNNY DÍAZ

Jool Baby, a brand of children’s products, has recalled about 63,000 infant swings that were sold at Walmart stores and online because they posed a suffocation risk, federal safety regulators said.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said late last week that the Jool Baby Nova Baby Infant Swing that was marketed, intended or designed for infant sleep posed a suffocation risk because it had an incline angle greater than 10 degrees.

The product was in violation of the commission’s Infant Sleep Products Regulation and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, the agency said.

A study cited in the federal regulation of infant sleep products found that infants who slept in products with a 20-degree incline were exposed to increased demand on the abdominal muscles, which could lead to fatigue and suffocation. The same study determined that an incline of 10 degrees or below does not significantly affect infant motion or muscle activity.

The recall notice affects infant swings

A photo provided by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shows the Jool Baby Nova Baby Infant Swing that was sold at Walmart as well as online is unsafe for infants to sleep in, federal regulators said.

that were manufactured from June 2022 through September 2023.

Those swings are gray and measure about 28 inches long, 19 inches wide and 24 inches high. They have a round aluminum base with music buttons on the front, a metal seat frame, a cloth seat with restraints and a headrest, and a canopy with hanging toys, such as moons, clouds and stars.

The swings, which were manufactured in China, do not include a mandatory warning regarding sleep, said Jool Baby, which is based in Lakewood, New Jersey.

“You can continue using the Nova Swing to help keep your baby entertained and engaged,” according to a voluntary recall message posted on the Jool Baby website. “However, if your baby falls asleep while in the swing, remove baby and place on a firm, flat surface such as a crib or bassinet.”

The company added, “using the Nova Swing or any product with an angle above 10 degrees is not safe for sleep.”

The swings were sold at Walmart stores and the Jool Baby website, and online at shopping sites including Amazon,

Babylist and Target, from November 2022 through November 2023 for about $150, the commission said.

The manufacturing date can be found on the sewn-in warning label on the back of the swing’s seat, formatted as month, day and year.

The commission and Jool Baby noted that there have been no reported injuries with the product.

According to the commission, people who have bought the swings should immediately stop using them for sleep and contact the company for a free repair kit, which includes a new seat with an updated on-product warning, a new remote control and new hanging plush toys.

Consumers who are affected should register at JoolBaby.com/recall and upload a photo of the warning label on their swings.

Jool Baby said that new government regulations require that the company update warning labels and instructions on the product, its packaging and the marketing materials for the swing “to make it clear to consumers that infant swings are not safe for babies to sleep in.”

American Airlines orders 260 planes from Airbus, Boeing and Embraer

By NIRAJ CHOKSHI

American Airlines said last week that it had placed an order for 260 new planes in roughly equal numbers from Airbus, Boeing and Embraer. It is the airline’s largest aircraft order since 2011 and reflects the strength of demand for air travel.

The order consists of 85 Airbus A321neo planes, 85 Boeing 737 Max 10 jets and 90 smaller Embraer E175 aircraft. Boeing’s equal standing in the deal suggests that American remains confident in the manufacturer after a panel blew out from a Max 9 plane during an cAlaska Airlines flight in January. That episode resulted in no major injuries, but reignited concerns about the safety and quality of Boeing planes.

The airline’s chief financial officer, Devon May, told reporters in an interview

on Monday that American had faith Boeing would improve quality after a preliminary federal investigation suggested that the Alaska Airlines plane might have left Boeing’s factory without bolts critical to securing the panel.

“We know what their goals are: They are going to improve quality,” May said. “They are going to continue to deliver a safe product. And that’s our expectation.”

The Boeing deal includes an existing order for 30 smaller Max 8 jets, which were upgraded to the Max 10. That larger plane, which has not yet received regulatory approval, can seat about 200 passengers.

American does not expect to receive its first Max 10 planes until 2028, May said. The airline expects Boeing will be able to deliver those jets, but if the manufacturer fails to, May said, American has made arrangements to replace those deliveries

with other Max models or Airbus planes.

American’s A321neo planes typically seat about 200 passengers, too.

The Embraer planes are a workhorse of American’s regional subsidiaries, which typically use the jets for shorter trips, often between smaller airports or from those locations to hub airports. The E175 typically seats about 76 passengers in economy and premium classes.

Embraer, the third-largest plane manufacturer, is based near São Paulo, Brazil, and Airbus, the largest, has its headquarters in Toulouse, France. Boeing, the second biggest, is based in Arlington, Virginia.

“Over the past decade, we have invested heavily to modernize and simplify our fleet, which is the largest and youngest among U.S. network carriers,” American CEO Robert Isom said in a statement. “These orders will continue to fuel our fleet with

newer, more efficient aircraft so we can continue to deliver the best network and record-setting operational reliability for our customers.”

American said the planes would help it achieve twin goals of flying bigger aircraft within the United States and on shorter routes as well as offering more premium seats, which are much more profitable and increasingly in demand in recent years. The airline said it would also upgrade existing Airbus A319 and A320 planes starting in 2025, expanding first class, adding power at every seat and installing larger overhead bins.

The order announced Monday is the largest placed by any U.S. airline since 2021, when United Airlines announced plans to buy 200 planes from Boeing and 70 from Airbus. American’s last large plane order was in 2011, when it bought 260 Airbus planes and 200 Boeings.

Options players ready for market swings after US inflation data

Traders in the U.S. equity options market have grown skittish ahead of Tuesday’s release of inflation data that could sway the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy trajectory.

Options on the S&P 500-tracking SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF were primed for a 1% swing in the fund’s shares in either direction by the end of trading on Tuesday. That’s larger than the 0.7% move traders had been pricing for stocks ahead of the January inflation report, according to a Cantor Fitzgerald analysis.

Stronger-than-expected consumer price and employment data have whittled away at investors’ expectations for how much the Fed will cut interest rates this year. More evidence of sticky inflation could push investors to further pare their bets on Fed easing, potentially weighing on a rally that has seen the S&P 500 rise 7% this year.

U.S. consumer prices rose more than expected in January, amid a surge in the cost of rental housing, prompting a 1.4% drop for the benchmark stock index on Feb. 13, when the data was released.

After last month’s stronger-than-expected report, “there is certainly more trepidation regarding tomorrow’s data and this will add to the nervousness of the options market today,” said Matthew Tym, head of equity derivatives trading at Cantor Fitzgerald.

Investors are now pricing in 94 basis points of rate cuts this year, compared to around 150 basis points they had priced in early January, according to futures tied to the fed funds. So far, however, a resilient economy, better-than-expected earnings and confidence that the Fed will nevertheless cut rates several times before the year is up have supported stocks.

According to a Reuters survey of economists, the CPI likely increased 0.4% in February, with the annual increase in prices at 3.1%. The core CPI is also forecast advancing 0.3%, with the year-on-year increase slowing to 3.7% from 3.9% in January.

The S&P 500 index was down 0.16% Monday afternoon and the Cboe Volatility Index - an options-based gauge of investors’ expectation for near-term stock market gyrations perked up 0.46 point to 15.20, a near three-week high.

Haiti is in the throes of an uprising not seen in decades. As politicians around the region scramble to hash out a diplomatic solution to a political crisis that has the prime minister, Ariel Henry, stranded in Puerto Rico and gangs attacking police stations, a humanitarian disaster is quickly escalating. The food supply is threatened, and access to water and health care has been severely curtailed.

André Michel, an adviser to the prime minister, said Henry has refused to resign, and has demanded that the international community take all necessary measures to ensure his return to Haiti.

The United States and Caribbean leaders have been

crossfire. They are hungry. They are running out of clean water and gas. They are desperate.

“Around me, everyone is running,” said LaRoche, who packed up and closed three more medical facilities to avoid more looting. “Women, children and elderly have bags on their heads, and by foot, they are fleeing. It is a war zone.”

Gangs that in the past year have spread throughout the country joined forces last week to attack state institutions, releasing thousands of prisoners. They are demanding the resignation of Henry, who was prevented from returning to Haiti as violence surrounded the airport and grounded all flights.

The chaos has left people to protect themselves as best they can.

Navigating Israeli restrictions, many Palestinians find it hard to reach Al-Aqsa

By RAJA ABDULRAHIM

As the sermon about the Muslim holy month of Ramadan sounded over the speakers from Al-Aqsa Mosque, 13-year-old Yousef al-Sideeq sat on a bench outside the compound’s gates.

“Most Fridays, they prevent me from getting in, for no reason,” the young Jerusalem resident said, referring to the Israeli police.

Every Friday, Yousef visits Jerusalem’s Old City to pray at Al-Aqsa, the third-holiest site for Muslims and part of the compound sacred to Jewish people, who call it the Temple Mount. But since the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attacks and Israel’s ensuing bombardment of the Gaza Strip, heavily armed Israeli police forces who guard many of the Old City’s gates have stopped him from entering the compound, he said.

He has managed to get in only twice.

Muslim access to the mosque has long been a point of contention as Israel has exerted tighter control in recent years over the compound, one of many restrictions Palestinians living under decades of Israeli occupation have had to endure.

As Ramadan begins, many also fear what, if any, additional constraints Israel may impose on the religious site, which can draw 200,000 people in one day from not just Jerusalem but the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Israel as a whole.

Israeli police said people were “entering after enhanced security checks that are conducted due to the current reality, alongside efforts to prevent any disturbances.” But they did not answer specific questions about whether there was a policy preventing certain worshippers, especially young men, from entering the mosque Friday.

They said they were “maintaining a balance between the freedom of worship and the imperative of ensuring security.”

Late Sunday, Palestinian and Israeli news media reported that police officers prevented many Palestinians from entering Al-Aqsa to perform prayers for the start of Ramadan. Both media cited a video that showed officers with batons chasing and beating some Palestinians.

Israel has said there has been no change to the status quo, which allows only Muslims to worship at the compound. The site is revered by Jews as the location of two ancient temples, and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, the compound containing Al-Aqsa Mosque and other important Islamic prayer spaces. The compound includes the Dome of the Rock, a gold-domed prayer hall.

Israel captured east Jerusalem, including the Old City and the Aqsa compound, from Jordan in 1967 and later annexed it. Much of the world considers it occupied territory and does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over east Jerusalem.

Many Palestinians say their access to Al-Aqsa compound has become increasingly restricted in favor of Jews, who consider the Temple Mount the most sacred place in Judaism.

Incidents at the compound have at times been the spark for broader conflicts. The second intifada, or Palestinian uprising, was set off in 2000 when Ariel Sharon, who later became Israel’s prime minister, visited Al-Aqsa surrounded by hundreds of police officers. Confrontations at the compound in May 2021 contributed to the outbreak of an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas.

Hamas, the Palestinian armed group that has been in control of Gaza for years, called its Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel the Al-Aqsa Flood, saying it was in part a response to “Judaization plans” at the mosque.

The attack killed about 1,200 people, and about 200 people were taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. Israel’s assault on Gaza in its war against Hamas has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials.

In recent years, Jewish worshippers have prayed inside the Aqsa compound. The most extreme seek to build a third Jewish temple on the site of the Dome of the Rock.

Some of the most provocative episodes have been raids into the Aqsa compound by batonwielding police forces firing tear gas and spongetipped bullets who have clashed with Palestinians throwing stones and setting off fireworks.

“Al-Aqsa Flood came as a response to the set-

tlers’ violations against Al-Aqsa,” said Walid Kilani, a Hamas spokesperson in Lebanon, referring to Jewish worshippers.

Israeli police officers “stormed the mosque and insulted the Muslim prayers there,” he added. “We had to retaliate, as Al-Aqsa is our holy site and is mentioned in the Quran.”

In the initial weeks of the war, only Muslims ages 60 and older were allowed in, said Mohammad al-Ashhab, a spokesperson for the Waqf — an Islamic trust that administers the mosque and that is financed and overseen by Jordan.

Attendance at Friday Prayer, a Muslim holy day, dropped to just 1,000, from 50,000, he said.

Although the situation has improved since then, he said, many Muslims are still prevented from attending.

Many Palestinians fear for the future of Al-Aqsa, especially while Israel’s most right-wing government ever is in power.

Last week, the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it had decided against putting new restrictions on Al-Aqsa during Ramadan and would allow a similar number of worshippers as in previous years.

In addition to long-standing Israeli restrictions on Muslims coming from the occupied West Bank, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right national security minister, had called on the government to impose limits this year on Palestinian citizens of Israel.

Still, the ambiguous language of the Israeli government’s decision has some concerned. Human rights groups fear that freedom of worship could be curtailed under the guise of security and safety.

“Netanyahu’s statement does not actually guarantee full freedom of access for Muslims to Al-Aqsa, but rather conditions it on security and safety needs,” Ir Amim, an Israeli rights group that focuses on Jerusalem, said in a statement after the decision. “This in turn may lead to a decision to ultimately apply collective entry restrictions during Ramadan.”

“Our freedom of worship has gone backwards,” al-Ashhab said.

Portugal’s Socialist Party concedes election amid far-right surge

By EMMA BUBOLA

Portugal’s Socialist Party conceded defeat Sunday night in a very tight national election that ended the party’s eight years in power and reflected the country’s drift to the right, which follows a broader trend in Europe.

That shift was marked by the ascent of Chega, an anti-establishment, right-wing party, which skyrocketed from recent irrelevance to become the third most popular party in Portugal.

The Socialist Party, which has been hobbled by a corruption investigation, had been running neck and neck with the Democratic Alliance, a center-right coalition, until late in the evening, when the Socialist leader conceded at a news conference.

The Socialists and the Democratic Alliance had each garnered about 29% of the vote, with about 99% of the voting districts having counted their ballots. Ballots cast abroad, which elect four parliamentary seats, had yet to be counted, but the Socialist Party leader, Pedro Nuno Santos, said that those ballots were unlikely to make up for the votes they needed to win.

“Everything indicates that the Socialist Party did not win the election,” Nuno Santos said at the news conference.

His concession paved the way for Luís Montenegro, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, the major party within the Democratic Alliance, to form a government. “It seems undeniable that the Democratic Alliance won the elections and that the Socialists lost,” Montenegro said at a news conference.

Montenegro has said that he would not form a coalition with Chega, which opponents accuse of being racist and xenophobic. Experts

said that made it likely that he would form a minority government.

The election was one of the last national votes before critical European Parliament elections in June, which are seen as a barometer of political winds across the continent. Chega’s jump to more than 18% of the vote this year, from about 7% in 2022, may provide momentum to conservatives and rightist parties hoping to make significant gains in the EU elections.

“It’s an absolutely historic result,” the Chega party leader, André Ventura, told reporters Sunday night. Ventura, a former television sports commentator, rose to prominence by lobbing attacks against Portugal’s Roma minority. Brazil’s far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro endorsed his candidacy.

“The Portuguese defend their identity and their prosperity,” Jordan Bardella, the president of the French far-right National Rally party, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday, congratulating Chega and giving them an “appointment” at the European Parliament.

Similar messages came from lawmakers from the far-right parties Alternative for Germany, Vox in Spain, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party in Hungary and the Austrian Freedom Party.

Chega’s rise represents a new phenomenon in Portugal, where no far-right parties had gained significant ground since the end of military dictatorship in the 1970s, though similar parties advanced in recent years in other European countries.

“Portugal is therefore no longer an exception in the European political party panorama,” said Marina Costa Lobo, a political scientist at the University of Lisbon, describing a landscape marked by “the rise of the radical populist right” and the centrality of issues such as immigration.

Like other anti-establishment parties in Europe, experts said, Chega seized on people’s financial concerns and on a general sense of insecurity. Portugal’s persistently low wages have failed to keep up with inflation; housing

prices have doubled in the past eight years; and people have protested a lack of access to the health care system.

Ventura has promised tax cuts, higher pension payments and tighter rules on immigration. Under the banner “Portugal needs a cleanup,” he also campaigned against corruption after the former government, headed by the Socialists, collapsed amid an investigation involving lithium exploration concessions.

The prime minister at the time, António Costa, has not been formally charged with any crime, but he resigned in November, saying the investigation was incompatible with his official role. Montenegro is most likely to be named prime minister by Portugal’s president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, based on the preliminary election results. Montenegro, 51, a lawyer, has also promised tax cuts.

Experts say the election result partly stemmed from Portuguese voters’ desire for something new. “They feel it’s time for a change,” said José Santana Pereira, an associate professor of political science at the University Institute of Lisbon.

On Sunday night, Ventura said that he was available to build a government with the Democratic Alliance to give Portugal a “stable government,” though Montenegro had ruled out that possibility during the campaign.

If the Democratic Alliance were to form a minority government, experts said it might be short-lived and struggle to pass legislation.

Costa Lobo said any government formed by the Democratic Alliance would have to make piecemeal deals with the parties on its left and on its right to pass legislation.

“It is now up to politicians to seek the stability that the election did not guarantee,” Costa Lobo said.

How China came to dominate the world in solar energy

By KEITH BRADSHER

China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history. It cut the wholesale price of panels it sells by nearly half. And its exports of fully assembled solar panels climbed 38% while its exports of key components almost doubled.

Get ready for an even bigger display of China’s solar energy dominance.

While the United States and Europe are trying to revive renewable energy production and help companies fend off bankruptcy, China is racing far ahead.

At the annual session of China’s legislature last week, Premier Li Qiang, the country’s second-highest official after Xi Jinping, announced that the country would accelerate the construction of solar panel farms as well as wind and hydroelectric projects.

With China’s economy stumbling, the ramped-up spending on renewable energy, mainly solar, is a cornerstone of a big bet on emerging technologies. China’s leaders say that a “new trio” of industries — solar panels, electric cars and lithium batteries — has replaced an “old trio” of clothing, furniture and appliances.

The goal is to help offset a steep slump in China’s housing construction sector. China hopes to harness emerging industries like solar power, which Xi likes to describe as “new productive forces,” to reenergize an economy that has slowed for more than a decade.

The emphasis on solar power is the latest installment in a two-decade program to make China less dependent on energy imports.

China’s solar exports have already drawn urgent responses. In the United States, the Biden administration has introduced subsidies that cover much of the cost of making solar panels and part of the much higher cost of installing them.

Workers operate an experimental production line for solar panels, built in 2010 by Applied Materials in Xi’an, China on March 2, 2010. Beijing is set to further increase its manufacturing and installation of solar panels, as it seeks to master global markets and wean itself from imports. (Shiho

Fukada/The New York Times)

The alarm in Europe is particularly great. Officials are bitter that a dozen years ago, China subsidized its factories to make solar panels while European governments offered subsidies to buy panels made anywhere. That led to an explosion of consumer purchases from China that hurt Europe’s solar industry.

A wave of bankruptcies swept the European industry, leaving the continent largely dependent on Chinese products.

The remnants of Europe’s solar industry are now fading away. Norwegian Crystals, an important European producer of raw materials for solar panels, filed for bankruptcy last summer. Meyer Burger, a Swiss company, announced Feb. 23 that it would halt production in the first half of March at its factory in Freiburg, Germany, and would try to raise money to complete factories in Colorado and Arizona.

The company’s U.S. projects could tap renewable energy manufacturing subsidies provided by President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

China’s cost advantage is formidable. A research unit of the European Commission calculated in a report in January that Chinese companies could make solar panels for 16 to 18.9 cents per watt of generating capacity. By contrast, it cost European companies 24.3 to 30 cents per watt, and U.S. companies about 28 cents.

The difference partly reflects lower wages in China. Chinese cities have also provided land for solar panel factories at a fraction of market prices. State-owned banks have lent heavily at low interest rates even though solar companies have lost money and some went bankrupt. And Chinese companies have figured out how to build and equip factories inexpensively.

Low electricity prices in China make a big difference.

Manufacturing the main raw material for solar panels, polysilicon, requires huge amounts of energy. Solar panels typically must generate electricity for at least seven months to recoup the electricity that was needed to make them.

Coal provides two-thirds of China’s electricity at low cost. But Chinese companies are reducing costs further by installing solar farms in the deserts of western China, where public land is essentially free. Companies then use the electricity from those farms to make more polysilicon.

By contrast, Europe has costly electricity, particularly after it stopped buying natural gas from Russia during the Ukraine war. Land used in Europe for solar farms is expensive. In the Southwestern United States, environmental concerns have slowed the installation of solar farms, while zoning issues have blocked permits for the transmission of renewable energy.

China’s coal consumption has made it the world’s largest annual contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. But the country’s pioneering role in making solar panels less expensive has slowed the increase in emissions.

“If the Chinese manufacturers had not brought down the cost of panels by more than 95%, we could not see so many installations across the world,” said Kevin Tu, a Beijing energy expert and nonresident fellow with the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University.

Annual solar panel installations have nearly quadrupled worldwide since 2018.

Some of the new solar farms generating electricity for polysilicon production are in two provinces in southwestern China, Qinghai and Yunnan. But much of the polysilicon is made in the Xinjiang region of northwestern China. The United States bans imports made with materials or components manufactured by forced labor in Xinjiang, where China has repressed predominantly Muslim minorities like the Uyghurs.

That has led the United States to block some shipments of solar panels from China, while the European Union has been consi-

dering similar action.

Chinese companies increasingly do the initial, high-value stages of solar panel manufacturing in China, and then ship the components to overseas factories for final assembly. This allows the shipments to avoid trade barriers, like tariffs imposed on many Chinese imports by President Donald Trump. Several of China’s biggest solar panel manufacturers are building final assembly plants in the United States to tap subsidies offered as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The law includes extensive subsidies to revive the U.S. solar panel industry, which almost completely collapsed a decade ago in the face of low-cost imports from China. But building an industry that can stand on its own will be difficult.

China produces practically all of the world’s equipment for making solar panels, and almost all of the supply of every component of solar panels, from wafers to special glass.

“There is know-how to it, and it’s all in China,” said Ocean Yuan, the CEO of Grape Solar, a company in Eugene, Oregon, that works with Chinese solar companies that are setting up assembly operations in the United States.

That know-how used to be in the United States. As recently as 2010, Chinese producers of solar panels relied mainly on imported equipment, and faced long and costly delays if anything broke down.

“It took days or weeks to get replacement parts and engineers,” said Frank Haugwitz, a longtime solar energy consultant specializing in the Chinese industry.

In 2010, Applied Materials, a Silicon Valley company, built two extensive labs in Xi’an, the city in western China famous for terra-cotta warriors. Each lab was the size of two football fields. They were intended to do final testing for assembly lines with robots that could churn out solar panels with practically no human labor.

But within several years, Chinese companies had figured out how to do it themselves. Applied Materials considerably cut back its production of solar panel tooling and focused on making similar equipment that makes semiconductors.

Today anyone who tries to make solar panels outside China faces potential delays in installing or fixing equipment.

While Europe is mulling whether to follow the United States’ example with its own subsidies and import restrictions on solar products, Haugwitz said, “It will remain a challenge for Europeans to compete.”

Fine, call it a comeback

By EZRA KLEIN

If the Joe Biden who showed up to deliver the State of the Union address last week is the Joe Biden who shows up for the rest of the campaign, you’re not going to have any more of those weak-kneed pundits suggesting he’s not up to running for reelection. Here’s hoping he does.

But that’s not the only thing from Thursday night that I hope Biden holds onto. So far, the Biden team has been more sure-footed attacking Donald Trump’s threat to democracy than it has been defending Biden’s incumbency. That reflects a strange problem they face. By virtually any measure save food prices, Biden is presiding over a strong economy — stronger, by far, than most peer countries. As Noah Smith has noted, the Biden economy looks far better than Ronald Reagan’s “Morning in America”: Unemployment is lower, inflation is lower, interest rates are lower, stock market returns are better.

But Americans feel otherwise. The most recent Times/ Siena poll found that 74% of registered voters rated the economy either “poor” or “fair.” By a 15-point margin, voters said Trump’s policies helped them personally. By a 25-point margin, they said Biden’s policies hurt them

personally.

Voters seem to remember the tail end of Trump’s third year, when the economy was strong, and not the utter calamity of his fourth year, when his COVID response was chaos and the economy was frozen. In November of 2020, unemployment was 6.7% and Trump had just turned a White House celebration into a superspreader event. Republicans who say Americans should ask whether they’re better off than they were four years ago should be careful what they wish for.

But Biden is in a tough spot. You don’t want to run for reelection telling voters they’re wrong and the economy is actually great. Nor can you run for reelection telling voters that they’re right and the economy is bad. Biden has often seemed a little unsure what to say about his own record. Thursday night, he figured it out.

“I came to office determined to get us through one of the toughest periods in the nation’s history,” Biden said. “We have. It doesn’t make news, news — in a thousand cities and towns, the American people are writing the greatest comeback story never told.”

Biden’s refrain of the American comeback is a sharp one. It does two things simultaneously. It reminds voters that there is something America is coming back from — namely, the dislocations of the pandemic, and the wild, erratic management style that Trump brought to it — and it lets Biden point to progress without declaring victory. It’s the right message for an incumbent: There are good things happening. Let’s keep going.

It also describes the way the Biden team actually imagines a second term. When I talked to administration officials in the weeks leading up to the State of the Union, I was struck by how many told me that the top priority of a second term was bringing the legislative accomplishments of the first to fruition. Biden’s record is atypically physical: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act are all about building real things in the real world. It’s slow work that takes time — too much time, if we’re being honest.

Wind power is rolling out more sluggishly than the IRA’s authors hoped, and we’re not building new transmission lines at anywhere near the rate necessary to hit the administration’s decarbonization goals. “The biggest barriers to deployment between now and 2030 are non-cost in nature — like siting and permitting delays, backlogged grid interconnect queues, and supply chain challenges,” a recent analysis by the Rhodium Group and Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research concluded.

Similarly, the advanced semiconductor factories the CHIPS program seeks to build are facing cost overruns and construction delays, and the administration’s efforts to persuade Congress to exempt future plants from environmental review failed.

Then there’s the part of the economy that still has people furious and is inarguably worse than when Biden took office: prices. Biden announced a number of concrete policies to bring prices down. A temporary tax credit to give Americans mortgage relief while they wait for interest rates to come down. The elimination of title insurance fees on federally backed mortgages. Expanding Medicare’s power to drive down drug prices.

But he could go further. Tyler Cowen, an economist and Bloomberg columnist, is right when he says that the weakness of Biden’s economic agenda has been that it “has a lot of expenditure but very little deregulation.” Even if Biden wins, he’s very likely to face a Republican Senate in 2025. Spending more money will be hard. But the money he’s already spending will go further, faster, if he cuts the red tape that makes it so hard to build homes, roads, factories and energy infrastructure. That requires a deregulatory agenda that can be a tough sell among parts of the Democratic coalition but might, just might, be possible as part of a deal with Republicans.

Biden is practiced at talking about the threat that Trump poses to democracy. It’s clearly what motivates him in this campaign. But he, not Trump, is the incumbent, and Biden has lacked a simple frame to tell the story of his presidency — one that balances what he’s achieved with what Americans still consider undone, and that reminds voters of what he inherited while still laying out a vision for where he’s going.

“Turning setback into comeback,” Biden said Thursday. “That’s what America does.” It’s a good message. And it has the added benefit of being true.

Salinas destaca a mujeres ejemplares en a la lucha por la igualdad de género

SALINAS – La alcaldesa de Salinas, Karilyn Bonilla Colón, y el presidente de la Legislatura Municipal, Edgar A. González Moreno, conmemoraron el pasado viernes el Día Internacional de la Mujer Trabajadora, bajo el lema ‘Mujeres que marcan la diferencia y transforman vidas’, recono-

ciendo la valentía de todas las mujeres salinenses que sobrepasar las limitaciones que aún afectan a las mujeres de este siglo.

“A lo largo de la historia de la Cuna del Mojo Isleño, nuestras mujeres han demostrado su liderazgo y destacado en diversos ámbitos. Esta efeméride la dedicamos a varias mujeres, que por su desempeño han aportado grandemente a la lucha de la igualdad de género y la participación femenina en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad”, señaló la alcaldesa.

Mientras, González Moreno presentó a las homenajeadas, Jeanette Rosa Vázquez - Área de la Salud, Técnico de Farmacia Pabón; Evelyn Valentín Capó- Civismo, Facilitadora Grupo de Apoyo Alzheimer, Lourdes J. Cruz González - Servidora Pública del Municipio de Salinas y Nitza G. Cartagena Ortiz - Seguridad, Miembro de la Policía de Puerto Rico.

Peña Soto - Profesional, Consejera de la Escuela Carlos Colon Burgos; Carmen J. Merced Rodríguez- Líder Religiosa y Yaramar Rivera Reyes- Área de la Educación.

“Para nosotros en Salinas, el Día Internacional de la Mujer no es una celebración, es la aceptación de que los logros sociales, económicos, culturales y políticos de las mujeres son producto de la educación, el señalar las injusticias y lanzar llamadas a la acción para crear conciencia sobre la discriminación e impulsar la paridad de género. Esta es una misión para toda la sociedad, no solamente para las mujeres”, finalizó la alcaldesa.

Senador Ramoncito Ruiz atiende propuesta aumentar edad de retiro de los policías a 64 años

S AN JUAN – El senador por el distrito de Ponce y presidente de la Comisión de Gobierno, Ramoncito Ruiz Nieves, presidió una vista pública el pasado viernes para atender dos medidas, una relacionada a aumentar la 64 años y otra para declarar una moratoria de tres (3) años a los fines de que los miembros de la Policía de Puerto Rico que no deseen acogerse al retiro obligatorio para Servidores Públicos de Alto Riesgo se les autorice a continuar prestando servicios hasta la edad máxima de sesenta y cinco (65) años.

En la actualidad hay unos 822 agentes de 11,400 cumplen con la edad promedio para acogerse al retiro voluntario, y las agencias citadas dieron visto bueno a medida que aumenta la edad de retiro de los policías. Concretamente, el Proyecto del Senado Núm. 1408 es para enmendar el Artículo 2-104 de la Ley Núm. 447 de 15 de mayo de 1951, conocida como “Sistema de Retiro de los Empleados del Gobierno del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico” a los fines de aumentar la edad de retiro obligatorio de los miembros de la Policía de Puerto Rico a sesenta y cuatro (64) años de edad y para otros fines. La otra medida es la Resolución Conjunta del Senado Núm. 483, para declarar una moratoria de tres (3) años a los fines de que los miembros de la Policía de Puerto Rico que no deseen acogerse al retiro obligatorio para Servidores Públicos de Alto Riesgo se les autorice a continuar prestando servicios hasta la edad máxima de sesenta y cinco (65) años.

La Oficina de Gerencia y Presupuesto (OGP), por medio de su director ejecutivo, el licenciado Juan Carlos Blanco, señaló que lo apropiado es sugerirle al Departamento de Seguridad Pública (DSP) y la Junta de Retiro, un estimado de impacto fiscal que

incluya la proyección de agentes que se acercan a la edad establecida de retiro obligatorio, el costo de nómina y pago de beneficios marginales que representaría el postergar la fecha obligada de retiro. De igual manera, las agencias deberían proveer cualquier otra información relevante que pueda estimar el efecto presupuestario, si alguno. “Una vez establecido el estimado de impacto fiscal, nuestra Oficina estaría en una mejor posición para colaborar en la determinación de cualquier impacto presupuestario que se necesite establecer bajo este proceso’, expuso en ponencia escrita.

Mientras, por el Departamento de Seguridad Pública, el secretario Alexis Torres informó a la Comisión de Gobierno que hay aproximadamente 902 policías activos de la Ley Núm. 447 y 5,301 policías activos pertenecientes a la Ley Núm. 1, supra, cuyo promedio de edad fluctúa entre cuarenta y ocho (48) y cincuenta y cinco (55) años. “Hoy, Puerto Rico tiene miembros de la Policía con más de sesenta (60) años que aún no se han retirado ya que la pensión a la cual tienen derecho, en ¡a mayoría de los casos, no es suficiente para vivir. Empero, muchos de ellos todavía presentan la aptitud física y mental para continuar rindiendo servicio, por lo cual la aprobación de una dispensa, sujeto a los análisis correspondientes, resulta positiva para el servicio público”.

Como parte de la vista del pasado viernes, la Oficina de Administración y Transformación de los Recursos Humanos del Gobierno de Puerto Rico (OATRH), por medio de su directora, la licenciada Zaira A. Maldonado Molina, emitió una ponencia informando que el alcance de las medidas están fuera de la jurisdicción de dicha agencia, recordando que

están listos y disponibles para proveer asesoramiento y asistencia en materia especializada de recursos humanos. Por parte de la Autoridad de Asesoría Financiera y Agencia Fiscal (AAFAF), Luis Rivera Cruz, director de Asuntos Intergubernamentales y Asesor Ejecutivo Senior de la agencia, no mostró reparo en la aprobación del PS 1408, pues no conlleva impacto económico o fiscal. No obstante, en su ponencia, recomiendan que la Oficina de Presupuesto de la Asamblea Legislativa (OPAL) realice un análisis del proyecto.

El senador Ruiz Nieves propuso en la vista que se unieran ambos proyectos, puesto que, el policía que se suponía que se retiraría a los 54 años, tendrá que continuar 10 años más de labor.

‘Oppenheimer’ caps a big night with best picture Oscar

By BROOKS BARNES

“Oppenheimer” overwhelmed the competition at the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday, winning seven Oscars, including the one for best picture, and at long last cementing Christopher Nolan’s status as the foremost filmmaker of his generation.

Nolan, 53, a previous five-time nominee for directing or writing but never a winner, was named best director. “Oppenheimer” also won Oscars for actor (Cillian Murphy), supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), film editing (Jennifer Lame), cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema) and score (Ludwig Göransson).

“Movies are just a little bit over 100 years old,” Nolan said in accepting the statuette for directing. “Imagine being there 100 years into painting or theater. We don’t know where this incredible journey is going from here. But to know that you think that I’m a meaningful part of it means the world to me.”

By showering “Oppenheimer” with honors, Hollywood was awarding the film as much for its artistry as for its against-all-odds performance in theaters. In an era when superheroes, paint-by-numbers franchise sequels and movies based on toys have blotted out traditional filmmaking at the box office, “Oppenheimer,” a drama with nearly $1 billion in ticket sales, gave the film elite hope that traditional cinema has not been entirely lost.

“Oppenheimer” marked a shift for the Academy Awards. Call it the revenge of the studio movie. In recent years, Hollywood’s top prize has gone almost exclusively to independent movies like “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “CODA,” “Parasite” and “Moonlight.” “Oppenheimer,” made by Universal Pictures, is something of a throwback — an expensive film from an old-line studio.

Other highlights included:

— Emma Stone won the Oscar for best actress for “Poor Things,” a twist on the Frankenstein story from Searchlight Pictures. “Lily, I share this with you,” Stone said

— “Barbie” melted as an Oscar contender, converting only one of its eight nominations to a win: Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell collected the trophy for best song for their “What Was I Made For?” (At 22, Eilish is now the youngest person ever to have won two Oscars, having cruised to a best song victory in 2022 for “No Time to Die.”) But “Barbie” did provide one of the telecast’s most rousing live moments, when Ryan Gosling, who played Ken, performed one of the movie’s other nominated songs (“I’m Just Ken”) as an elaborate song-and-dance number replete with three dozen backup Kens, fireworks and a surprise appearance by Slash, the Guns N’ Roses guitarist.

— Downey accepted the Oscar for best supporting actor, completing a remarkable career arc — from scenestealing young actor in the 1980s, to out-of-work drug addict in the 1990s, to a superhero comeback in the 2000s and 2010s, to Academy Award glory for his performance in “Oppenheimer.” “I’d like to thank my terrible childhood and the academy, in that order,” Downey joked in a short acceptance speech that also touched on his stylist.

— Da’Vine Joy Randolph was named best supporting actress for playing a grieving mother and boarding school cook in “The Holdovers.” “For so long, I’ve always wanted to be different, and now I realize I only need to be myself,” Randolph said.

— The Oscars for best sound and best international film went to “The Zone of Interest,” in which a well-off Nazi couple exult in their good fortune while living next door to the Auschwitz concentration camp. In his speech, Jonathan Glazer, the film’s director, decried “the victims of dehumanization,” both in Israel and the Gaza Strip. “We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people,” he said.

— “20 Days in Mariupol,” Mstyslav Chernov’s account of the atrocities committed during the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, won the Oscar for best documentary feature. “I wish I’d never made this film,” he said in his speech. “I wish I’d been able to exchange this for Russia never attacking Ukraine.”

— Justine Triet and Arthur Harari accepted the original screenplay Oscar for “Anatomy of a Fall,” a courtroom thriller about a woman accused of murder. Voters honored Cord Jefferson with the adapted screenplay Oscar for “American Fiction,” a satire about a writer who puts together a novel that turns on racial stereotypes.

— Jimmy Kimmel, hosting the ceremony for the second year in a row, avoided politics in his monologue, opting instead to poke fun (gently) at nominated films. The closest he came to controversy was a crack about the omission of Greta Gerwig, the “Barbie” filmmaker, as a directing nominee. “I know you’re clapping, but you’re the ones who didn’t vote for her,” Kimmel said, as the camera cut to a smiling Gerwig. Toward the end of the show, he did joke about a social media post from former President Donald Trump, who criticized the job Kimmel was doing as a host.

“Isn’t it past your jail time?” Kimmel said.

19 looks that did the most at the Oscars

By THE STYLES DESK

At the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday, the red carpet showed not only its true color but also its reputation as a vehicle for elegant, over-the-top and even political fashion.

Though there were bright moments — Cynthia Erivo’s dress was a “Wicked” shade of green, Taylor Zakhar Perez wore powder blue Prada — many of the gowns and tuxedos that graced the carpet were black. Some stars’ ensembles harked back to attire they wore at prior Oscars ceremonies. Marlee Matlin said that her shimmering lilac Rodarte gown nodded to the dress she wore when she won the best actress award in 1987, and Lupita Nyong’o went with a pale bluish-silver Armani dress inspired by the color of the gown she wore when she won the best supporting actress award in 2014.

Sparkling brooches were among the most visible accessories on both men and women, as were tiny red pins calling for a cease-fire in Gaza. The Israel-Hamas war also influenced action off the carpet, with protests taking place as celebrities were arriving at the ceremony.

Of all the fashion on display at the Oscars, these 19 looks stood out as doing the most.

Billie Eilish: Most Young Old Hollywood!

The Gen Z singer, a songwriter for “Barbie,” dialed up the glamour with flowing hair, a houndstooth Chanel bag and a tweed skirt suit with an Artists4Ceasefire pin on the jacket.

Lupita Nyong’o: Most Icy Cool!

The actress’s feathered Armani gown, which nodded to the dress she wore when she won an Oscar for her performance in “12 Years a Slave,” was not only nostalgic but also sustainable: It was made in 2020 and had yet to be worn.

Emma Stone: Most Palate Cleanser!

the E! host Laverne Cox.

Vanessa Hudgens: Most Dressing for Two!

The actress, a host of ABC’s Oscars red carpet preshow, subtly announced that she was pregnant during that program with the help of a form-fitting Vera Wang gown.

Michelle Yeoh: Most Unapologetically Glamorous!

Together, the actress’s iridescent, floor-sweeping, Balenciaga gown and bicep-skimming black gloves created the kind of confident look that said: I already have an Oscar.

Lily Gladstone: Most Night Sky!

Amid all the dark outfits on the carpet, the “Poor Things” star’s pale green peplum Louis Vuitton gown was a refreshing sight.

Dominic Sessa: Most Retro!

The actor evoked his 1970s-era wardrobe from “The Holdovers” in a dark velvety tuxedo with a peak-lapel jacket and a floppy bow tie. His loose curly hair and sideburns enhanced the look’s vintage feel.

America Ferrera: Most Barbie!

Following in the sartorial footsteps of her “Barbie” costars, the actress wore a chain mail Atelier Versace dress in the film’s signature pink color with a skirt that appeared to melt into the floor.

Colman Domingo: Most Razzle-Dazzle!

A sunburst brooch, glistening buttons and copious bracelets and rings added sparkle to the “Rustin” star’s Louis Vuitton tuxedo, which he wore with “country-western boots,” he told

Gucci collaborated with Indigenous artist Joe Big Mountain to design the “Killers of the Flower Moon” actress’ deep-blue gown, which featured quill work by the artist that looked a little like twinkling stars.

Ryan Gosling: Most Fun Socks!

Peeking out from beneath the pants of the actor’s Gucci suit with shiny trim were pink socks, a less-than-subtle nod to his role as Ken in “Barbie.”

Simu Liu: Most Black-Tie Pajamas! The actor, who played one of the Kens in “Barbie,” fastened the jacket of his asymmetrical Fendi tuxedo with a large brooch. “It is a fun situation and I like brooches,” he told Cox of E! on the red carpet.

Emily Blunt: Most Futuristic!

Floating shoulder straps and a metallic

sheen gave an out-of-this-world feel to the “Oppenheimer” actress’s Schiaparelli couture gown.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph: Most Power Sleeves!

Pompom-like sleeves and a gauzy train added volume to the glittery, pale-blue Louis Vuitton gown chosen by the actress, a star of “The Holdovers.”

Bradley Cooper: Most Relaxed!

In a double-breasted Louis Vuitton suit with no tie and with a sun-kissed glow, the “Maestro” star appeared very at ease on the carpet.

Sandra Hüller: Most Point Taken!

A pointy bust adorned with a jeweled keyhole was the focal point of the “Anatomy of a Fall” actress’s Schiaparelli gown.

Anya Taylor Joy: Most Flower Power!

The mermaidesque skirt of the actress’s silvery Dior gown looked as if it were constructed with glittering scales or flower petals.

Rita Moreno: Most Betty Boop!

The 92-year-old actress channeled the classic cartoon character in pixie-flapper hair, a ruffled dress, opera gloves and sparkly croissant-shaped earrings.

Andrea Riseborough: Most ‘The Traitors’!

With its bold plaid pattern, the actress’s Loewe dress would have fit right in with the reality show’s Scottish-influenced wardrobe.

Eugene Lee Yang: Most Try Guy!

Yang, a voice actor in the animated feature “Nimona” and a member of the internet foursome known as the Try Guys, certainly seemed to be angling for attention in his pompadour and scarlet tuxedo-style skirt suit by Walter Mendez.

After 217 COVID vaccines, man had no side effects and robust immunity

By BENJAMIN MUELLER

Two years ago, German doctors stumbled across news reports of a man being investigated for receiving scores of coronavirus vaccines with no medical explanation.

Then followed a flurry of speculation about what he had been up to. As it turned out, prosecutors were looking into whether he had been receiving so many extra doses as part of a scheme to collect stamped immunization cards that he could later sell to people who wanted to skirt vaccine mandates.

But to the doctors, the man was a medical anomaly, someone who had defied official recommendations and turned himself into a guinea pig for measuring the outer limits of an immune response. Last year, they asked

prosecutors investigating his vaccine splurge to pass along a request: Would he like to join a research project?

Once prosecutors closed their fraud investigation without criminal charges, the man agreed.

By the time the doctors first saw him, the 62-year-old man had received 215 doses of coronavirus vaccine, they said. Flouting their pleas to stop, he received another two shots in the next months, expanding his immunological stockpile to a combined 217 doses of eight different COVID vaccine types over 2 1/2 years.

After months of studying him, the doctors, led by Dr. Kilian Schober, an immunologist at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in the German state of Bavaria, reported their

findings last week in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, a medical journal.

The man had seemingly never been infected with the coronavirus. He reported no vaccine side effects. And, most interestingly to the researchers, his repertoire of antibodies and immune cells was considerably larger than that of a typical vaccinated person, even if the precision of those immune responses remained effectively unchanged.

The researchers found that even the 217th shot boosted the man’s immune response. And while they were carefully looking for signs of a progressive weakening in his immune reactions over time — an unwelcome type of immune tolerance that sometimes develops during long-term viral infections — they reported seeing no such drop-off in responses.

“This indicates really how robust the immune system’s response is to such repetitive immunization,” Schober said. “Even 200 vaccinations are not nearly as much of a challenge to the immune system as a chronic infection.”

The researchers said the man was from Magdeburg, a city in central Germany, but offered few other details and said his reasons for the vaccination spree were private.

The prosecutors had collected evidence of 130 vaccinations over nine months, the researchers wrote. The man’s first vaccination, with a shot made by Johnson & Johnson, came in June 2021. Most of his subsequent shots were mRNA vaccines made by Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech. He also received several of Pfizer-BioNTech’s updated vaccines.

In addition to their own testing, the sci-

entists relied on the man’s routine medical tests from before and during the pandemic. But because they had no access to other vaccine hoarders, the researchers said their findings could not be used to predict how other people would react to repeated inoculations.

Other patients who are given so many doses could experience side effects, Schober said, making it unwise for people to defy medical advice to receive more than the recommended number of shots. And while the study suggested both that the vaccines were generally very safe and could continue to boost immune responses, the benefits of being repeatedly vaccinated did not necessarily outweigh the small risk of an additional shot.

For instance, Schober said, the man’s antibody levels dropped off in the periods after his most recent recorded shots, as they generally do in patients receiving the usual number of doses. The finding suggested that the man’s elevated immune response could only be kept aloft by revaccinating all the time.

“These super-high levels are not sustainable,” Schober said. “They would drop off to the normal level.”

Still, the 2-1/2-year vaccine binge created a type of immune system stress test that doctors never would have allowed to happen on their watch. And while the results were far from conclusive, at least this one man’s immune system looked remarkably resilient.

“Two hundred vaccinations may seem like a lot,” Schober said. But immune cells capable of reacting to chronic viruses, he added, “are basically laughing” at the imitation viral particles that they have to deal with, even over the course of hundreds of shots.

The man had seemingly never been infected with the coronavirus. He reported no vaccine side effects.

Looking for little ways to eat healthier? Start with whole grains.

By ALICE CALLAHAN

For me, a meal isn’t complete without a hunk of wholewheat bread to dip into my soup, or a pile of brown rice to soak up my curry. Whole grains provide sustenance and comfort.

And lucky for us, they’re a main feature of the Mediterranean diet, which is an approach to eating that emphasizes whole, mostly plant-based foods.

Whole grains are different from refined grains in that they contain all three parts of a grain kernel: the starchy endosperm, which provides carbohydrates, protein and some B vitamins and minerals; the germ, rich in healthy fats and vitamins; and the bran, a concentrated source of fiber, minerals and B vitamins.

When we eat whole grains, the fiber and healthy fats slow digestion, resulting in smaller spikes and dips in blood sugar. Fiber can also reduce blood cholesterol levels, support a healthy gut and lower the risk of developing colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Aside from great nutrition, whole grains add a variety of flavors and textures to any meal: the nutty complexity of farro, the heartiness of barley and the crunch of oats toasted in granola or on top of a fruit crisp.

Below, we offer strategies for eating more whole grains, along with some recipes selected by our colleagues at NYT Cooking.

What to keep in your pantry

To help you meet your whole-grain goals, try stocking up on these affordable and shelf-stable basics:

— Rolled or steel-cut oats

— Whole-grain, low-sugar breakfast cereals like shredded wheat, muesli and wheat flakes

— Whole-grain bread

— Whole-grain crackers to dunk into hummus or top with cheese

— Popcorn (consider popping it yourself so you can control the ingredients)

— Dried grains like millet, farro, brown rice, quinoa, bulgur and barley to use in main dishes, as simple sides or as additions to soups and salads

Meal ideas that center whole grains

Once you have some ingredients on hand, you get to start playing around with recipes.

For our Mediterranean diet series, we and our colleagues at NYT Cooking have selected a few recipes that incorporate the ingredients we’re highlighting. This is not intended to be a meal plan, but rather inspiration for how to include more of these healthful foods in your week.

For breakfast, you might have whole-wheat toast with peanut butter and a side of fruit, plain yogurt with fruit and granola, or a steaming bowl of oatmeal topped with nuts and dried fruit. You could try Martha Rose Shulman’s cozy bulgur maple porridge, or Melissa Clark’s granola with dried apricots and pistachios; the not-so-secret ingredient, Melissa says, is olive oil, the favored oil of the Mediterranean diet.

Lunch could be a sandwich on whole-wheat bread —

maybe made with cheese, avocado, hummus, lettuce and tomato — or leftover veggies wrapped in a whole-grain tortilla. But if you have time to cook, Yewande Komolafe’s toasted millet salad with cucumber, avocado and lemon is light and packed with flavor. Or try Sohla El-Waylly’s quinoa and broccoli spoon salad, with crispy raw broccoli and crunchy pecans to complement the fluffy quinoa.

For dinner, I’m trying to break my usual bread-and-rice routine to cook some whole grains I don’t use often enough. This could be as simple as quinoa or millet with a side of veggies and steamed fish. Or maybe Kay Chun’s baked barley risotto with mushrooms and carrots or Yasmin Fahr’s farro with blistered tomatoes, pesto and spinach. For the chilliest January nights, I’m thinking of Melissa Clark’s turkey, farro and chickpea soup. Join me?

This easy chopped salad fits loads of texture and flavor onto a spoon by combining finely chopped raw broccoli with chewy dried cranberries, crunchy pecans, fluffy quinoa and chunks of sharp cheddar cheese. The mixture is tossed in a punchy mustard vinaigrette that soaks into the florets, only getting better as it sits. Feel free to substitute the quinoa for any grain, like brown rice, farro or buckwheat groats, though the cook time may vary.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients: Kosher salt

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

1 lemon

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Freshly ground black pepper

1 large bunch broccoli (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1 medium tart and crisp apple

4 ounces sharp cheddar

3/4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped

1/2 cup dried cranberries

Preparation:

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil on high and season aggressively with salt. Add the quinoa, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer; cook until plump and tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a fine-mesh sieve; rinse with cool water and drain well.

2. While the quinoa cooks, finely grate the zest of the lemon into a large bowl then cut the lemon in half. Add the olive oil, mustard, honey and apple cider vinegar, plus the juice of 1/2 lemon; whisk together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Peel the stem of the broccoli and trim off the dry end. Finely chop the entire broccoli and add to the dressing. Core the apple then finely chop the apple and the cheese; add to the broccoli and toss to combine.

4. Add the cooked quinoa, nuts and cranberries and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt, pepper and lemon juice, as needed. Store, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

Farro with blistered tomatoes, pesto and spinach

By Yasmin Fahr

Here is an Italian-inspired recipe that uses store-bought or homemade pesto to season farro, which is then tossed with fresh spinach, roasted tomatoes, red onions and mozzarella for a complete vegetarian meal. Make it with fresh-from-the-market cherry tomatoes when they’re in season, but during the rest of the year, use grape tomatoes, as they tend to be more flavorful than cherry during the colder months. If you’d like, substitute arugula, or cooked broccoli raab or kale, for the spinach. It tastes delicious warm or cold the next day — and topping it with shrimp, chicken or scallops can make it feel new again. Before reheating, add a bit more spinach, drizzle it with a little olive oil and give it a good stir.

Yield: 4 servings

Total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

Salt and black pepper

1 cup farro, rinsed

2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes

1 small red onion, peeled, quartered and cut into 1-inch wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the farro 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

1/4 cup store-bought or homemade pesto, plus more to taste Zest and juice of 1 lemon

2 packed cups baby spinach

1 (4-ounce) ball fresh mozzarella, torn into chunks, or 1/2 cup ricotta salata, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley or basil leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped

Preparation:

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large covered pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the farro and adjust the heat to maintain a medium boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom, until tender and not too chewy, about 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, on a sheet pan, combine the tomatoes and onion wedges with the oil, making sure everything is well coated and glistening, then season with salt, pepper and the red-pepper flakes. Roast until the tomatoes blister and slightly deflate, 25 to 30 minutes.

3. When the farro is done, drain, then pour into a serving bowl or back into the pot. Toss with some olive oil, then mix in the pesto. Add the lemon zest and juice, then stir in the spinach. Set aside to cool slightly.

4. Scrape the onions, tomatoes and their juices into the farro; season with salt and pepper as needed. Add the cheese, if using, then garnish with herbs and serve.

Toasted

millet

salad

with

cucumber, avocado and lemon

By Yewande Komolafe

Cooked millet has a taste and aroma that’s subtly reminiscent of raw hazelnuts, and as with hazelnuts, toasting millet first really deepens its flavor. If you want to work ahead, toast and cook the millet, set aside and toss in the other ingredients when ready. Sharp mint leaves, creamy avocado, crisp cucumbers and bright lemon really round out this dish, which makes a lovely side dish, an afternoon snack or the base of a proteinfocused grain bowl. Millet is marvelous, but a wide variety of grains will work just as well.

Yield: 4 servings

Total time: 45 minutes, plus cooling

Ingredients:

1/2 cup millet or other grains, such as barley, farro, brown rice or kasha

Salt and black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon zest plus 1/4 cup juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 pound English or Persian cucumbers, quartered lengthwise into 1/2-inch spears, then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces

1 packed cup mint leaves

1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)

1 avocado, pitted and sliced into quarters

Preparation:

1. To a small pot set over medium heat, add the millet and toast, swirling the pan constantly until the grains begin to crackle, become fragrant and deepen in color to a deep tan, about 10 minutes.

2. Turn heat to low and carefully add 1 1/4 cups water, season with salt, bring to a simmer and cook, partly covered, until the millet is softened, about 15 minutes. Remove the millet from the heat, and stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil and let sit covered for at least 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, and allow to cool to room temperature. You can do this step ahead and store the cooked millet in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. (If

using other grains, toast first, then cook according to package directions.)

3. While the millet cooks, make the vinaigrette: Combine the lemon zest, juice and honey in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Toss the cooled millet with cucumbers, mint, almonds (if using) and half of the lemon vinaigrette; divide among bowls. Top each bowl with an avocado quarter and dress with spoonfuls of vinaigrette.

Baked barley risotto with mushrooms and carrots

By Kay Chun

Wholesome and nutty, barley is a superb alternative to Arborio rice in this risotto, since it’s naturally plump and chewy when cooked. The grated Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end release the barley’s starches, creating a silky, creamy texture. Make sure to use pearl barley, not hulled, since it cooks much faster and is more tender. As for the mushrooms, white button, cremini and earthy shiitakes are a tasty, accessible mix, though any combination of oyster, king trumpet and maitake would raise the bar. Still, the best thing about this risotto, which is a satisfying vegetarian weeknight dinner (or side to any large roast or fish) is that it’s baked, taking away the pressure of constant stirring at the stove.

Yield: 4 servings

Total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 small white or yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1 pound mixed mushrooms, such as white button, cremini and shiitakes, halved if small, quartered if large (about 7 cups total) Salt and black pepper

10 ounces pearl barley (about 1 1/2 cups)

1 medium carrot, very thinly sliced into rounds (about 1 cup)

2 ounces grated Parmesan (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup chopped chives

Preparation:

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes.

2. Stir in barley, carrot and 4 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake until barley is tender and chewy and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

3. Stir in Parmesan and the butter until slightly thickened and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Divide among shallow bowls. Sprinkle with chives and more Parmesan, to taste.

A sport’s purgatory that can be revisited over and over with team after team

By SAM BLUM / THE ATHLETIC

This offseason, an MLB ballplayer was checking his social media when a post stopped him in his tracks. It was a reporter’s post, and it told him he had just lost his job.

This player, who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the episode without harming his future job prospects, was a fringe member of his team’s 40-man roster. He was just days away from reporting to spring training.

He was aware that he was on the roster bubble, and every time his team made an acquisition, there was anxiety that he would be designated for assignment. He knew his team had made a free agent signing that day, but he had not received a call from the team or his agent telling him he was losing his roster spot.

Instead, the team sent out a news release announcing that he had been cut from the roster.

The team said it made an attempt to reach the player’s agent, but it did not go through because the agent was on a flight. The player, who had never been designated for assignment before, said he was left to look up what he was supposed to do next on MLB.com’s online glossary.

“When it first happens, you’re in your own head,” the player said. “You’re like, ‘Do they think I’m not good enough?’ You start running those kinds of situations. And if someone were to have come along and said, ‘Hey, this is what we thought about why we did it.’ That kind of eases you into the thought process.”

The DFA process is cruel to an extent fans

may not realize. Each one is its own misery for the player going through it. Those involved emphasize the importance of communication and humanity to mitigate the pain.

“Players might not always like the news,” said one MLB executive for a different team, “but you pride yourself on delivering it in a way where they’re hearing it from you.”

The purpose of a DFA is to remove a player from the 40-man roster. After that, the team has seven days to trade that player or put him on waivers. If he goes untraded or unclaimed, the player is outrighted to the Class AAA roster or released.

The process is often an afterthought for the common baseball fan, but it is the sport’s equivalent of being fired.

“You don’t exist when you’re in DFA limbo,” said Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt, who was designated for assignment three times in his playing career. “It’s lonely and you start going down rabbit holes of what-ifs, start thinking the whole world is looking at you, and in reality, no one’s looking at you. It’s a really tough place to be.”

The process leaves players in purgatory. And it can lead to them being shipped all over the country at a moment’s notice.

Take, for example, pitcher Kyle Tyler. Two years ago, he was DFA’d by the Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres and Angels again, all in three weeks during spring training. Each time, it was a gut punch: going from starting anew with an organization to being irrelevant there days later.

“Once I was told that I was DFA’d, it’s almost like I didn’t exist within that organization anymore,” said Tyler, who is in spring training with the Miami Marlins this year on a minor league contract. “There was no communication with any other coaches, any other front office staff. Nothing.”

Communication is easier during the season, when teams can call a player into an office, notify him and explain the subsequent steps. The offseason makes for a more fraught process.

“At first, it’s a little bit of a shock. You never think that it’s going to happen,” said infielder Kevin Padlo, who has been DFA’d six times. “It’s like, what’s next? You don’t really know when it happens for the first time what the next steps are.”

Padlo got a call from Tampa Bay Rays general manager Erik Neander when he was DFA’d for the first time in 2021. Neander walked him through the process and explained what they believed the likely outcome would be.

Outfielder Bligh Madris had one of his five career DFAs occur over the holidays in late 2022.

When the general manager’s name pops up on your phone, your heart drops a little bit, said Madris, who is in camp with the Detroit Tigers on a minor league contract this spring. “You really don’t know what to say,” he said. “Then you get off the phone and two hours later you have a bunch of questions. You kind of go numb for a little bit. I’m not going to lie to you. I’ve been numb a few times.”

What can compound the anxiety is uncertainty about how long it will take. Ideally, the team will communicate whether they will attempt to trade the player, and, if not, how

long before he is placed on waivers.

If that answer is not obvious right away, then the agent and team typically communicate. But good communication only ices the burn. There’s no healing it.

As part of the 2022 collective bargaining agreement, MLB and the players union agreed to change rules on player options. Teams were using that transaction to shuttle players back and forth from the majors to the minors with increasing frequency.

The union responded by negotiating a policy that capped the number of option uses in one season at five. There are, however, no policies to limit players from being in DFA purgatory over and over. There also are no rules regarding streamlined communication. And no guarantees for players to gain access to team facilities as they await resolution.

Although players still receive pay and accrue service time during the wait, there are seemingly some loopholes that could be closed or changed in the next contract negotiations.

“Each year provides an opportunity to appreciate how existing rules are being treated and whether, and to what extent, there are adjustments that may need to be made,” said Tony Clark, executive director of the players union.

This offseason, infielder Diego Castillo was DFA’d by the Arizona Diamondbacks, claimed by the New York Mets, then claimed by the New York Yankees, then claimed by the Philadelphia Phillies, then claimed by the Baltimore Orioles. He was finally designated for assignment by the Orioles and went unclaimed, and was outrighted.

Although the misery of the DFA process mostly applies to fringe players, many wellknown names have been designated as well. Albert Pujols was let go by the Angels. Liam Hendricks had the same fate with the Kansas City Royals. Nelson Cruz, who has 464 career homers, was cut by the Texas Rangers and the Padres.

When great players are dealt this fate, it is major news. But it happens every day to lesser names.

Vogt is now a manager. When one of his players is DFA’d, Vogt will probably deliver the news, bringing the empathy and understanding of someone who has been through it himself. Even in misery, some optimism exists.

“In some ways, it’s the best thing that could have ever happened for you because it’s a fresh start somewhere else,” Vogt said.

Crossword

Aries (Mar 21-April 20)

Control is apt to be a big theme for you and the people around you today, Aries. You’ll find such a brutal dispute over who is holding the reins that once someone finally gets a firm hold of them, he or she is apt to take the situation to the extreme. There’s an aggressive tone to things that can’t easily be ignored. Keep an eye on your associates on a day like this.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

In general, things should be going extremely well for you today, Taurus, so don’t miss this opportunity to pursue your dreams in every sense of the word. Do things with passion and don’t hold back. Remember that your mind and will are the only things stopping you from getting where you want to be. There’s a great deal of magnetism at your disposal today, so enlist others to help you.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

You may feel anxious today, even more so than usual, Gemini. Your nerves may be quite jittery, and there’s a feeling that you may not be on exactly the right track. More than likely, what you need to do is simply calm down and relax. Let your brain slow down and think clearly without the distraction of many people telling you what to do.

Cancer (June 22-July 23)

Other people are the most important aspect of your day today, Cancer. You’ll find that things might get a bit difficult and unruly alone, but if you connect with others, even the most challenging task becomes almost effortless. One toothpick is easily broken, but 50 toothpicks together are as strong as steel. Conjure up this power created by a force of people who all share a common goal.

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

Don’t be a pushover today, Leo. This is your time to lead. At least get your opinion out in the open and let it be known to the people around you. Put some passion in your day in order to liven things up and get the energy moving. A powerful transformation may take place within you as you start to wield your power instead of give it blindly away to others.

Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23)

You have a great deal of power at your disposal today, Virgo. You should keep in mind that just about anything you wish for will come true. Don’t waste words or actions. Concentrate your energy and focus it on one or two important things instead of dispersing it and thereby diluting your overall power. There isn’t anything to fear on a day like this.

Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Be careful of getting into fights today, Libra. However, if a squabble or altercation of some sort seems inevitable, don’t shrink away and hide. It’s important that you face the source of the attack and stand up to whomever or whatever is getting in your path. Conjure up the warrior inside you and you might surprise yourself with the incredible power you have within.

Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Issues regarding freedom are apt to come up today in more ways than one, Scorpio. These issues could be connected with opportunities for adventure and travel. Although you initially want to dive into this promised freedom, take time to reflect on what you need in your current situation before making any final decision. Don’t forget the other people in your life and how such actions might affect them and your relationships.

Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 21)

There is a great deal of startup energy working for you today, Sagittarius. You may feel as if you’re walking on hot coals. This isn’t a good day to sit on the couch watching TV. The coals will burn you for sure. It’s important that you keep moving. Engage in activities that exercise your mind as well as body. You’ll feel much better if you can point to something and say that you created it.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Your energy will light up any room you enter today, Capricorn. Feel free to take advantage of this incredible magnetism by initiating and encouraging others to join you in creative activities and bold adventures. However, be careful that your head doesn’t get too big. You can be proud without becoming egotistical; otherwise you’ll end up losing your followers before you even get started.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Put an extra spring in your step, Aquarius. The slow, steady pace may be something that you’re comfortable with, but note that the situations of the day call for something much more dynamic and brave. Pull out your leadership hat and put it on proudly. Today is the day for you to call the shots, instead of compromising in order to get along with others.

Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Be prepared for all-out combat with people today, Pisces, even though this is pretty much the opposite of your normal style. In fact, “opposite” is the name of the game for you today. Don’t be surprised if you walk into an ice cream shop wanting vanilla and all they have is chocolate. Remember to not get upset by these types of situations over which you simply have no control.
