Banda El Recodo Responds to Emma Coronel's Claims of Performance at 'El Chapo' Daughters' Baptism

Banda El Recodo Responds to Emma Coronel's Claims of Performance at 'El Chapo' Daughters' Baptism

Banda El Recodo, a prominent Mexican musical group, has responded to claims made by Emma Coronel, wife of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, that the band performed at the baptism of their twin daughters, Emali Guadalupe and María Joaquina, over a decade ago. Coronel revealed this information during a live stream, also mentioning that Los Tucanes de Tijuana were present. Ricky Yocupicio and Geovanni Mondragón, vocalists for Banda El Recodo, stated in an interview that they do not inquire about the identity of those who hire them, focusing solely on their performance. Yocupicio emphasized that the band's policy is to perform for anyone who can afford their services, regardless of their background. The twin daughters were born in 2011 in Lancaster, California, while Guzmán was a fugitive, and were not initially registered under his surname, though recent social media posts by Coronel have suggested a possible legal name change for one of them.

Scientists Develop New Method to Identify Major Earthquake Zones Along Pacific Ring of Fire

Scientists Develop New Method to Identify Major Earthquake Zones Along Pacific Ring of Fire

A team of scientists from the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new method to identify areas along major faults where stress is accumulating, indicating a higher likelihood of major earthquakes. Published in Geophysical Research Letters, this research focuses on subduction zones, which are responsible for some of the Earth's largest earthquakes and can generate devastating tsunamis. The method utilizes GPS measurements to track subtle ground movements and an algorithm to pinpoint 'locked' sections of faults, known as asperities, where energy is building up. The team successfully tested this approach in the Kamchatka subduction zone in eastern Russia, where a significant earthquake recently occurred in an area identified by their model as having accumulated strain. While the method can identify high-risk areas, it cannot predict the exact timing of an earthquake.

Former Sinaloa Cartel Associate Felipe Cabrera Sarabia Released from U.S. Prison, Awaits Deportation to Mexico

Former Sinaloa Cartel Associate Felipe Cabrera Sarabia Released from U.S. Prison, Awaits Deportation to Mexico

Felipe Cabrera Sarabia, known as 'El Inge,' a former associate of the Sinaloa Cartel and Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, has been released from a federal prison in Lompoc, California, after serving a sentence of just over 19 years for heroin trafficking. He was released on September 4, a day earlier than scheduled, and is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Adelanto Processing Center in California, awaiting deportation to Mexico. Cabrera Sarabia pleaded guilty in January 2023 to a charge related to the trafficking of 15 kilograms of heroin from Mexico to Chicago, Illinois, an operation for which $715,000 was reportedly paid. U.S. authorities indicated that he coordinated drug trafficking operations under the instructions of Ismael Zambada García. His defense highlighted his cooperation with U.S. authorities, including providing information in interviews, and his sentence was reduced for good behavior and time served in Mexico.

U.S. Judge Rules Against Copyrighting Musical Rhythms, Preventing 'Dembow Riddim' Ownership Claim

U.S. Judge Rules Against Copyrighting Musical Rhythms, Preventing 'Dembow Riddim' Ownership Claim

A U.S. judge has ruled against a lawsuit seeking to copyright the 'dembow riddim,' a foundational beat in reggaeton and dancehall music. The estate of Wycliffe 'Steely' Johnson and his partner Cleveland 'Clevie' Brown filed a lawsuit in California in 2021 against Universal Music and Warner Chappell Music, claiming ownership of the 'dembow riddim' originating from their 1989 B-side track 'Fish Market.' They argued that any song using this 'boom-ch-boom-chick' rhythm infringed on their copyright, demanding significant compensation and damages. The case, which lasted nearly five years, was initially sent to a jury by Judge André Birotte Jr., but he later reversed his decision. The judge ultimately ruled that the plaintiffs failed to establish a case for control of the rhythm, stating their claim was based on a 'Frankenstein copyright' involving three separate songs, not a single standalone copyrighted work. This decision prevents a potential 'copyright apocalypse' where thousands of songs using the rhythm cou...

14 Concertgoers Hospitalized at The Chainsmokers Event in San Jose

14 Concertgoers Hospitalized at The Chainsmokers Event in San Jose

Fourteen individuals were hospitalized during a concert featuring the electronic duo The Chainsmokers at Discovery Meadow in San Jose, California, on Friday night. The San Jose Fire Department (SJFD) responded to multiple calls for medical attention around 8:23 p.m. Authorities reported that several patients were recovering from alcohol or drug-related issues. While paramedics treated some attendees at the park, at least 10 were initially transported to local hospitals, with the SJFD later confirming via a tweet on X that 14 people were taken to a local hospital. The concert, which began at 5 p.m., concluded by 10:34 p.m. The San Jose Police Department informed NBC Bay Area that the hospitalizations were due to various reasons, including suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related problems. Social media posts from attendees on platforms like Reddit indicated observations of many people being 'taken out early' or 'crashing out' during the event.

UC Riverside Scientists Develop New Method to Predict Locations of Major Earthquakes

UC Riverside Scientists Develop New Method to Predict Locations of Major Earthquakes

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside, led by geophysicists Gareth Funning and Axel Periollat, have developed a novel method to identify where Earth's largest earthquakes are most likely to occur. This new approach focuses on subduction zones, areas where one tectonic plate slides beneath another, which are responsible for the planet's most powerful seismic events, including those exceeding magnitude 8.5 and often generating devastating tsunamis. The method utilizes GPS measurements of subtle ground deformation to pinpoint sections of faults that are 'locked' and accumulating stress. These locked regions, known as asperities, act as friction points that resist movement until sufficient stress builds up to trigger a major earthquake. In a recent test, the researchers successfully identified the exact segment of the Kamchatka subduction zone in eastern Russia where a massive earthquake subsequently struck. While the method does not predict the timing of earthquakes, it provides crucial inform...
