· La NBA reconoce a Marc Gasol como el actual MVP
La misma fórmula, un buen ataque y una gran defensa en los momentos decisivos, sirvieron a los Grizzlies de Marc ‘MVP’ Gasol (18+6+5) para imponerse 85-97 en Sacramento a los Kings para sumar su quinto triunfo consecutivo.
Esta vez el líder del juego ofensivo fue Zach Randolph, que aportó un doble-doble de 22 puntos, 12 rebotes –10 defensivos–, repartió 4 asistencias y recuperó 3 balones.
Junto a Randolph el español Marc Gasol se mantuvo en su línea de jugador decisivo tanto en el apartado individual como de equipo y consiguió 18 puntos, 6 rebotes -todos defensivos-, y 5 asistencias, además de recuperar un balón y poner un tapón.
Marc jugó 31 minutos, en los que anotó 6 de 11 tiros de campo y estuvo perfecto desde la línea de personal con 6-6, mientras que le ganó el duelo individual al pívot Ryan Hollins, que siguió de titular en el puesto del hombre franquicia de los Kings, DeMarcus Cousins, que se perdió el segundo partido por un virus.
La baja de Cousins se hizo sentir demasiado en el juego interior de los Kings, que nada pudieron hacer ante la superioridad que mostraron Randolph y Marc, además de los reservas el ala-pívot Jon Leuer, que aportó ocho puntos con cinco rebotes, y el pívot Kosta Koufos, que capturó cuatro balones bajo los aros.
Tony Allen reivindicó su condición de gran jugador defensivo al recuperar dos balones, además de ser eficaz en el ataque con 13 puntos tras anotar 5 de 7 tiros de campo y 3 de 7 desde la línea de personal.
Courtney Lee llegó a los 11 tantos y el base Mike Conley anotó 10 puntos y repartió seis asistencias, que lo dejaron como el quinto jugador de los Grizzlies que tuvieron números de dos dígitos.
Como equipo, los Grizzlies lograron un 48 por ciento de acierto en los tiros de campo (38-79) y el 23 de triples (3-13), pero donde estuvo la clave de su triunfo fue en haber forzado nada menos que 23 perdidas de balón a los Kings que convirtieron en 23 tantos.
La victoria dejó a los Grizzlies con marca de 15-2, al mejor de la NBA, medio partido por encima de los Warriors de Golden State (14-2), que también ganaron a domicilio 93-104 a los Pistons de Detroit y consiguieron el noveno triunfo consecutivo, la racha mayor ganadora actualmente en la NBA.
Los Grizzlies consiguieron una ventaja de 21 puntos en el segundo cuarto, que fue todo lo que necesitaron hasta el último, cuando aseguraron la victoria al volver a realizar su mejor defensa y hacer una buena selección en los tiros a canasta.
Rudy Gay, exjugador de los Grizzlies, se convirtió en el líder del ataque de los Kings (9-8) al aportar 20 puntos, cuatro rebotes y tres asistencias.
Mientras que Ben McLemore llegó a los 18 tantos y el ala-pívot reserva Reggie Evans surgió con su mejor actuación en lo que va de temporada tras conseguir un doble-doble de 17 puntos y 20 rebotes, que no fueron suficientes a la hora de impedir la tercera derrota consecutiva que sufrieron los Kings.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto faced fresh questions on Wednesday about his dealings with a company at the center of a conflict-of-interest scandal, after it emerged that he enjoyed rent-free use of a house belonging to the firm as a campaign office.
Already under pressure over the government’s handling of the presumed massacre of 43 students abducted by corrupt police in southwestern Mexico in September, Pena Nieto is facing his most difficult period since taking office two years ago.
On Nov. 3, the government announced a Chinese-led consortium had won a no bid contract to build a $3.75 billion high-speed rail link in central Mexico.
Three days later, the government abruptly canceled the deal, just before a report by news site Aristegui Noticias showed that a subsidiary of Grupo Higa, a company that formed part of the consortium and had won various previous contracts, owned the luxury house of first lady Angelica Rivera.
Under public pressure, Rivera said she would give up the house. But neither she nor Pena Nieto have addressed the apparent conflict of interest stemming from the government’s business with Grupo Higa.
On Wednesday, Aristegui Noticias published a new story that said Pena Nieto used a different property belonging to another Grupo Higa subsidiary as an office when he was president-elect in 2012.
Eduardo Sanchez, the president’s spokesman, said Pena Nieto unwittingly used the property. Sanchez said it was leased from the Grupo Higa firm by Humberto Castillejos, the president’s legal adviser, who lent it rent-free to Pena Nieto’s team.
“If I invite you to my house, do you come to my house and ask me under whose name it is? Neither does the president,” Sanchez said, denying there were conflicts of interest.
The spokesman also said there were no more properties Pena Nieto or his team had used belonging to Grupo Higa.
“No, there is no other house that was used in a professional capacity,” Sanchez said.
Castillejos could not immediately be reached for comment.
Jorge Luis Lavalle, a senator with the opposition conservative National Action Party, said the public saw a clear conflict of interest in the dealings of Pena Nieto and his government with Grupo Higa.
“It needs to be investigated. All these doubts need to be dispelled fully and clearly,” he said. “We now have another case with no explanation.”

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto faced fresh questions on Wednesday about his dealings with a company at the center of a conflict-of-interest scandal, after it emerged that he enjoyed rent-free use of a house belonging to the firm as a campaign office.
Already under pressure over the government’s handling of the presumed massacre of 43 students abducted by corrupt police in southwestern Mexico in September, Pena Nieto is facing his most difficult period since taking office two years ago.
On Nov. 3, the government announced a Chinese-led consortium had won a no bid contract to build a $3.75 billion high-speed rail link in central Mexico.
Three days later, the government abruptly canceled the deal, just before a report by news site Aristegui Noticias showed that a subsidiary of Grupo Higa, a company that formed part of the consortium and had won various previous contracts, owned the luxury house of first lady Angelica Rivera.
Under public pressure, Rivera said she would give up the house. But neither she nor Pena Nieto have addressed the apparent conflict of interest stemming from the government’s business with Grupo Higa.
On Wednesday, Aristegui Noticias published a new story that said Pena Nieto used a different property belonging to another Grupo Higa subsidiary as an office when he was president-elect in 2012.
Eduardo Sanchez, the president’s spokesman, said Pena Nieto unwittingly used the property. Sanchez said it was leased from the Grupo Higa firm by Humberto Castillejos, the president’s legal adviser, who lent it rent-free to Pena Nieto’s team.
“If I invite you to my house, do you come to my house and ask me under whose name it is? Neither does the president,” Sanchez said, denying there were conflicts of interest.
The spokesman also said there were no more properties Pena Nieto or his team had used belonging to Grupo Higa.
“No, there is no other house that was used in a professional capacity,” Sanchez said.
Castillejos could not immediately be reached for comment.
Jorge Luis Lavalle, a senator with the opposition conservative National Action Party, said the public saw a clear conflict of interest in the dealings of Pena Nieto and his government with Grupo Higa.
“It needs to be investigated. All these doubts need to be dispelled fully and clearly,” he said. “We now have another case with no explanation.”

“El Chavo del Ocho”, su programa más célebre, fue el que dio la mayor popularidad a Gómez Bolaños, uno de los más grandes comediantes que ha tenido la región. Esa serie de televisión, que empezó a emitirse en 1971, traspasó no sólo fronteras, sino generaciones. Las historias de la vecindad de “El Chavo del Ocho” siguen vivas en la versión original, en caricatura y en videojuegos.
Gómez Bolaños nació en Ciudad de México el 21 de febrero de 1929. Estudió sin concluir ingeniería en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) y comenzó a dedicarse a la producción, la actuación y la dirección. El director de cine Agustín Delgado le puso el apodo de “Chespirito” (Shakespeare chiquito, por su baja estatura), en una comparación españolizada con el dramaturgo inglés William Shakespeare.
“El Chapulín Colorado” fue otra de las series más populares de Gómez Bolaños. Entre sus personajes están también Chaparrón Bonaparte, el doctor Chapatín y el Chómpiras.
Dos de los compañeros de set con los que Gómez Bolaños conservó una buena amistad fueron Rubén Aguirre, El profesor Jirafales, y Édgar Vivar, el Señor Barriga, que encabezó el gran homenaje que se le hizo a nivel regional a principios de 2012 y en el que ambos actores participaron. En cambio, era mala su relación con el actor Carlos Villagrán, que encarnó a Quico en “El Chavo del Ocho”, y con María Antonieta de las Nieves, que dio vida a La Chilindrina y con la que tuvo una pelea legal por los derechos del personaje.
Florinda Meza, Doña Florinda, la emblemática actriz de sus programas, fue el gran amor de su vida. Gómez Bolaños, que era 19 años mayor, se casó con ella en 2004 después de 27 años de vida en común.
La popularidad de “Chespirito” fue tal que cuando abrió la cuenta de Twitter @ChespiritoRGB en 2011 para comunicarse con sus fans empezó a recibir miles de mensajes desde toda América Latina. Actualmente, la cuenta tiene seis millones de seguidores. “Hola. Soy Chespirito. Tengo 82 años, y ésta es la primera vez que tuiteo. Estoy debutando. ¡Síganme los buenos!”, escribió en el primer mensaje. Y en su perfi ratificó su sentido del humor: “Para qué quieren mi perfil si soy más guapo de frente”.

(CNNMxico) — Diversos medios de noticias por todo el mundo, entre ellos CNNMéxico, sufrieron este jueves un hackeo parcial por parte del Ejército Electrónico Sirio (SEA, por sus siglas en inglés).
Además de CNNMéxico, medios como The Guardian, The Telegraph, Independent, Forbes, Daily Telegraph, Al Jazeera, LA Times y la cadena estatal de medios de Canadá CBC, reportaron fallas en parte de sus sitios web.
Gigya, plataforma para la optimización de medios de comunicación social y que brinda servicios a todos estos sitios, reconoció la violación a su registrador de dominios.
“Para ser absolutamente claro: ningún usuario, administrador o los datos operativos se han visto comprometidos y nunca estuvo en riesgo la plataforma”, afirmó Gigya en su blog.
En su cuenta electrónica, el Ejército Electrónico Sirio también se acreditó la intervención como un mensaje a la prensa por el Día de Acción de Gracias.
Happy thanks giving, hope you didn’t miss us! The press: Please don’t pretend #ISIS are civilians. #SEA pic.twitter.com/ZXzMWbXoYp

No es la primera vez que SEA lanza ataques contra medios de comunicación.
En abril de 2013, la cuenta Twitter de la agencia de noticias Associated Press (AP) publicó mensajes falsos que fueron reivindicados por ese grupo en el que informaba falsamente de dos explosiones en la Casa Blanca y heridas al presidente Barack Obama.
Este hecho provocó fuertes caídas en Wall Street y obligó a Twitter a reforzar las medidas de seguridad para sus usuarios.
