user: Q: Homeland Security takes boy with big tumor from dangerous Mexican city to NM for treatment

The parents of the child, identified by officials only as Jose to protect his family, said the tumor on his shoulder and neck has grown so large that it affects his eyesight and could move into his heart.

With no money for medical care, the family sought treatment in Juarez and El Paso, but did not receive any help removing the tumor, which has afflicted Jose since birth.

Si Budagher, pastor of First Baptist Church of Rio Rancho, N.M., said church members spotted the boy while doing missionary work and felt compelled to help him.

“He just came up to us and offered to carry groceries,” Budagher said. “The Lord put him in front of us.”

Church members only recently resumed missionary work in the border city after suspending visits due to the violence between competing drug cartels. The violence has claimed thousands of lives.

Denise Gutierrez, a victim assistance coordinator for Homeland Security Investigations, said she felt compelled to help as soon as she saw photos of Jose.

“I refused to believe that there was nothing we could do for this boy,” she said.

Gutierrez said the boy and his parents were granted a 45-day humanitarian visa for treatment in New Mexico, and a coalition of U.S. agencies led by Homeland Security Investigations began working to get them into the United States.

The U.S. Border Patrol helped the family enter the country.

Asked Friday about the ride in the armored vehicle, Jose’s eyes widen before he covered his face with his hands. “I like it here,” he said.

Budagher said the church has set up a fund for private donations and is helping with the cost of the family’s stay in the U.S. The church is also seeking help from doctors to examine Jose.

It’s still unclear, however, what treatment is needed or if he’ll need to return for follow-up visits.

“We all trying to stay positive and believe that there is something we can do for this boy and his family,” said Kevin Abar, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New Mexico.

Jose said he’s not sure what he will do when the tumor is removed.

“Play soccer,” he offered. “Maybe ride a bike.”

Scottish tourist dies after kicking mirror in anger

A Scottish tourist bled to death after drunkenly kicking a mirror following a fight with his girlfriend in Thailand, according to reports.

Iain Mackay, 40, went searching for his girlfriend at the pool hall where she works after he saw her on a date with another man Friday, friends said.

When Mackay realized his girlfriend was not there, he smashed the bar's mirror, cutting an artery in his leg at about 3 a.m., police said.

The man from Stornoway, on Scotland's east coast, was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

Mackay's girlfriend, Nilobon Patty, told the Scottish Daily Record that Mackay had seen her with a group of friends at a bar, not with another man.

Mackay was drunk and shouted at her, causing Patty to head home, she said.

“I don’t know why anyone would say that I had anything to do with Iain’s death. That is not true,” Patty said. “It was just a terrible accident.”

Patty said she met Mackay, a seaman for a Dubai-based seismic research company, when he traveled to Bangkok for work three years ago.

They agreed to stop seeing each other last month after his visits to Hua Hin, about 125 miles south of Bangkok, became more sporadic, she said.

Mackay's drinking had gotten out of hand before but he had been well-behaved recently, Patty said.

"He had a very good heart and I really loved him,” she said.

Q: Toronto FC's Sebastian Giovinco named MLS MVP

Sebastian Giovinco has been named Major League Soccer 's Most Valuable Player for the 2015 season.

Giovinco, 28, has already claimed the Newcomer of the Year and Golden Boot awards. The Toronto FC star had the most prolific individual season in MLS history, scoring 22 goals and adding 16 assists in 33 games, while also leading his team to its first playoff appearance. His combined goals and assist total of 38 broke Chris Wondolowski's previous record of 34 set in 2012, and he also led the league in shots, shots on goal and game-winning goals.

Giovinco is also a finalist for the league's Goal of the Year, with his mazy run versus the New York Red Bulls on Oct. 14 up against a similar strike by Sporting KC's Krisztian Nemeth. TFC's star striker also has several weekly and monthly MLS accolades to his name.

“I’m very proud and honored to receive the award for MLS MVP," Giovinco said in a statement. "I am satisfied with my personal season but look forward to finishing on a more positive note next season for our team.”

Seeking more playing time and a change of scenery after sitting on the bench at Juventus, Giovinco caused a stir when he decided to sign with TFC in January. His strong campaign in Toronto has led to his recall to the Italian national side, and he's been linked with a move to Barcelona.

However, his agent refuted any desire on Giovinco's part to move away from Toronto. The player himself has repeatedly stated his happiness with the city and the club.

“I’m very happy and proud to be in Toronto, as everyone can see from my performances on the field," Giovinco said. "I’m glad to have chosen this city as my new home. I really hope to stay here as long as possible and one day bring a MLS championship to Toronto and our fans."

IN: How Menswear is Elevating the L.L.Bean Look
It has been more than four decades since Georgia-Pacific introduced the plaid-flannel-clad Brawny man, enough time for us to witness the birth (and eventual death) of the square-shouldered and suited-up Master of the Universe, the gelled metrosexual and the khaki-sporting normcore acolyte. And yet.

Somehow the idea of the rugged outdoorsman—in his checked shirt, woolen trousers and hiking boots—still holds cultural sway. A number of designers this season, from Michael Kors to Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier...
