May 2, 2013: Johana Portillo, left, and her sister Ana Portillo, daughters
of Riccardo Portillo hold hands during a news conference at Intermountain
Medical Center, in Murray, Utah.APMURRAY, Utah A longtime Utah soccer referee
in a coma after being punched by a teenager during a weekend
game had been attacked by other angry players before, but he continued
refereeing because he loved the game, his family says.Ricardo Portillo,
46, has swelling in his brain and his recovery is uncertain as
he remains in critical condition, Dr. Shawn Smith said Thursday at the
Intermountain Medical Center in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray.Police
say a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league punched Portillo
on Saturday after the man called a foul on him and issued
him a yellow card. The teen has been booked into juvenile detention
on suspicion of aggravated assault. Those charges could be amplified if
Portillo dies.Portillo's oldest daughter, 26-year-old Johana Portillo, said
at a news conference Thursday that her father has been attacked by
other players before -- even having his ribs and leg broken."People don't
know it's a game," she said. "We're all there to have fun,
not to go and kill each other."Smith declined to discuss what caused
Ricardo Portillo's injuries or divulge his prognosis due to the ongoing
police investigation. But Johana Portillo said her father might not survive."I
know he didn't, he doesn't want to leave us," she s
ts offered an amendment that declared climate
change to be caused by humans.The amendment said: "Congress accepts the
scientific findings of the Environmental Protection Agency that climate
changes is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant
risks for public health and welfare."That amendment failed, on a 184-240
vote -- which is where the 240 number came from in the
OFA ad.But three of those no votes were Democrats. And not all
of the Republicans who voted against the amendment are on record saying
climate change is a sham. Republicans, rather, complained at the time that
the amendment was not pertinent to the underlying bill.So where does the
word "hoax" come from?There appear to be a couple instances. One, according
to the Post, was from a Democrat, Rep. Henry Waxman, who said
at the time that the Republican bill's premise was "that climate change
is a hoax."The other was a quote from Republican Georgia Rep. Paul
Broun, nestled into the Obama group's video right after the vote factoid.
Broun said: "The idea of human-induced global climate change is one of
the greatest hoaxes perpetrated out of the scientific community. It is a
hoax."But as FactCheck.org pointed out, that quote was from 2009, two years
earlier.FactCheck.org also said that Broun and other Republicans who completely
deny a link to human activity are "off base." But the group
noted there is a diversity of opinion among the GOP caucus on

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> Calling for an end to "old stereotypes," President Obama on Friday portrayed
Mexico as an emerging nation that is remaking itself and said the
U.S.-Mexico relationship should be defined by shared prosperity, not by
threats that both countries face. "It's time to recognize new realities,"
he declared.In a speech to a predominantly student audience, Obama conceded
that the root of much violence in Mexico is the demand for
drugs in the United States, and acknowledged that most guns used to
commit crime in this country come from the U.S. But he said
an improving economy is changing Mexico and improving its middle class."I
see a Mexico that is deepening your democracy," he told several hundred
people gathered on a cool, breezy morning in a covered, outdoor plaza
at Mexico City's grand National Museum of Anthropology. "Citizens who are
standing up and saying that violence and impunity is not acceptable."Obama
said he is optimistic that the U.S. will change its patchwork of
immigration laws and says the current immigration system does not reflect
U.S. values. With about 6 million Mexicans illegally in the United States,
the issue resonates deeply in Mexico, which has also seen deportations of
its citizens from the U.S. rise dramatically under Obama.Underlying Obama's
visit was his desire to convince the American public and U.S. lawmakers
that Mexico no longer poses the illegal immigration threat it once did."The
long-term solution to the chall
on will face tough odds not only
in the GOP-controlled House but also in the Democratic-led Senate.The president
acknowledged there were some areas along the 2,000-mile border between the
U.S. and Mexico where security needs to be tightened. But he gently
chided Rubio and other Republicans for putting up obstacles that would derail
final legislation."I suspect that the final legislation will not contain
everything I want. It won't contain everything that Republican leaders want,
either," Obama said. He added that "what I'm not going to do
is to go along with something where we're looking for an excuse
not to do it as opposed to a way to do it."Despite
the intense interest in the immigration debate among Mexicans, Pena Nieto
carefully avoided injecting himself in the issue. While he commended the
U.S. for tackling the challenge, he said the congressional debate "is a
domestic affair."The new Mexican leader was purposely seeking to avoid the
perceived missteps of former Mexican President Vicente Fox, who irked conservatives
in the U.S. by lobbying for an immigration overhaul in 2001.Pena Nieto's
election brought Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, back
to power after a decade on the sidelines. The security changes are
emblematic of the party's preference for centralized political and bureaucratic
control.The arrangement means all contact for U.S. law enforcement will
now go through a "single door," according to Mexico's fe
