Extra! Extra! Sensation of the year! Gubernador grows a beard! Enough of this baby face silliness and immaturity, now he will at least LOOK more intelligent; not just his usual the used scooter salesman look. But will anyone buy anything from him anyway? I think we all know the answer. Now, sonny; tell him not only to get bearded but to get REAL, and not just for the next two days...

No se trata de moda, ni de un intento deliberado por cambiar su imagen. Tampoco responde al cumplimiento de alguna promesa religiosa, ni significa que le falte el tiempo para afeitarse. Lo que movió al gobernador Alejandro García Padilla a lucir recientemente una incipiente barba fue una petición de su hijo, Juan Pablo.
El segundo de los vástagos del primer ejecutivo simplemente tenía curiosidad de ver a su padre lucir una barba, y le pidió que se la dejara crecer, explicó el secretario de Asuntos Públicos de La Fortaleza, Jorge Colberg Toro.
"No es una promesa ni un nuevo 'look', simplemente fue que su hijo se lo pidió, y él lo complació", dijo Colberg Toro a este medio.
Añadió que la barba no será un cambio permanente para el gobernador, sino que la exhibirá solo por "par de días".
García Padilla debutó su nueva imagen el martes en su última comparecencia pública. Su inusual estilo levantó algunas conjeturas, pues a lo largo de los años, en sus apariciones, siempre se le ha visto afeitado y acicalado.

Roberto Arango admits his homosexuality, said he made a mistake by showing a rubber duck to refer to Senate President Eduardo Bhatia

(M.N.: ! - how horrible, to do these things; didn't he have something livelier and more animated to show?!)

It also leaves open the possibility of a candidacy for mayor of San Juan 
(M.N.: I sincerely wish him good luck and hope that he will become a mayor - the city definitely needs his directness, erectitude and unwavering, firm, non-rubber duck frankness.) 
By ELNUEVODIA.COM

The former senator Arango resigned from the Senate on August 28, 2011 amid a scandal. (Archive)
After abruptly leaving the Senate by a nude photo scandal and months of speculation about his sexual preference, the former senator Roberto Arango Friday accepted his homosexuality.
In a radio interview with NotiUno, Arango spoke for the first time since his departure from politics on his private life.
Are you gay?, The interviewer asked.
 "Yes," he said firmly before continuing with "besides that I am dealer, I'm a father, I'm a brother, I am the son and, besides that, I like to do community work, I like to help the different communities."
When he realized?, He questioned.
"When I accepted because I am not a psychologist nor those things," he said.
Arango confessed that acceptance came after leaving the Senate. He noted that he had gone through that difficult situation to accept and helped usher in a new life; honest with himself. 
"The output of the Senate and the process was what helped me to accept myself," he said.
He said I have been surprised by the support of the people once left the House of Laws.

 "If I had known the support and solidarity that is in the street ... After that all I got was the support of the people. Myself thought how it is, I can not believe it," said Solidarity received.
Arango said the acceptance process was difficult, denial and a "tough fight", especially having grown up in a Catholic, traditional and conservative family.
 "In the process you accept who you are, you have a big fight with you. It's something that takes years to understand you, appreciate it. It is a psychological process," he said.
In their statements, Arango said he made a mistake by showing a rubber duck to refer to Senate President Eduardo Bhatia. He apologized for the act.
However, he argued on measures against the homosexual community that occurred during his service in the Legislature.
Moreover, the former senator left open the door to a possible run for mayor of San Juan for the New Progressive Party (PNP) and said he was prepared for any trick from their detractors. In fact, said Sunday he will make an announcement about it.
 "I'm ready for that and much more I have today what was not when it happened,. The support and solidarity of San Juan," he said.
As a practicing Catholic, said Arango Francis Pope encourages a change in the Church.
 "The pope is transforming the Church.'s Taking the right message of inclusion, tolerance. Love your neighbor goes over to judge their actions," he said.
On the other hand, to react to the confession, the aspiring president of the municipal committee of San Juan by the PNP, Leo Diaz, said he has no doubt that Arango also aspire for the position.
He noted that the NPP must judge its proposals.
"The discrimination can not be tolerated ... The discrimination destroys society and human beings," he said.
Meanwhile, former Secretary of Labor and aspiring to lead the PNP in San Juan, Miguel Romero, said that voters evaluate what is leadership, ideas and commitment with the candidates.
"He who has the right to make that judgment is the voter, not Miguel Romero," he said when he insisted if being homosexual would be an impediment to seek the mayor of the capital.
The former senator Arango resigned from the Senate on August 28, 2011 amid a scandal for allegedly posting nude photos using a smart phone application called "Grindr", which uses the gay community to network. One of the photos shows the torso of a naked man and the other a subject in a compromising pose.
Arango initially said he did not remember whether he had taken the first of these pictures or not. Alluded to was in a weight loss program, so it was possible that photographs were taken to monitor progress. But again compromising photos were released, he simply said they were a "hoax", neither confirming nor denying that he was the person appearing in the images.
With his resignation, Arango became the sixth legislature to leave the Legislature amid a scandal over the past four years. One was the exportavoz New Progressive Party (PNP) in the House, Rolando Crespo, who resigned after testing positive for cocaine.

Pierluisi Announces Senate Confirmation of Judge to Serve on Federal District Court in Puerto Rico by 43
Wednesday March 12th, 2014 at 12:17 PM

Res. Comm. Pedro Pierluisi - Representing The At Large District Of PUERTO RICO
1 Share
Washington, DC—Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi announced that Pedro Delgado-Hernández today was unanimously confirmed, 98-0, by the U.S. Senate for a lifetime judicial appointment on the Federal District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. “I am pleased that Pedro Delgado-Hernández has been confirmed as a federal district court judge.  I am confident that Judge Delgado-Hernández will work tirelessly to dispense justice, based on the facts of the case at hand, and free from any prejudice,” said Pierluisi.  The Resident Commissioner noted that Mr. Delgado-Hernández served as a law clerk to federal judge Juan Torruella; worked as an associate—and later as a partner—at one of Puerto Rico’s most prestigious law firms; and served as Solicitor General of Puerto Rico and as a judge on the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals. In September 2013, Pierluisi introduced Judge Delgado-Hernandez at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, during which Pierluisi told the Committee:  “Based on his wide-ranging professional experience, his first-rate academic record, his sound judgment, his even temperament, and his passion for public service, Judge Delgado-Hernández is well-prepared to handle the complex criminal and civil cases that would come before him.”  “Judge Delgado-Hernández is the 19th individual to have been confirmed by the U.S. Senate for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. district court in Puerto Rico since 1966, when Congress made the court equivalent to U.S. district courts in the 50 States and the District of Columbia.  Now we have another distinguished Puerto Rican jurist on the federal bench,” said Pierluisi.
