Using Google translate does not help, DominicanToday. I appreciate the effort, but it needs to be more. If you stay "they were stoned" I understand it as coming directly from Spanish, but other people might not. That makes it seem as if they were on drugs.... Could you fix it?

"Puerto Plata police agents are investigating the circumstances of the violent incident which occurred"

Yet they aren't doing an investigation into the Mayor shooting at someone in the middle of the street???

Papa?
What a stupid way to call a presidential candidate, reminds of Papa doc times or the name attributed to the late North Korean dictator...the father...Give me a brake, this guy could not father a donkey...donkey are smarter, so this would not make justice to the saying...the apple does not fall far from the tree.
I met this guy at a restaurant in Miami and I am sure that if you put him next to a cow come back the next day the cow will be hungry and he will be all grassed up.

Note: Read the poster/ hence/Papa?

Hey Josean, what do you have to say about this article published on DR1.

Dominican statisticians recognized by the United Nations

For the first time in its history, the Dominican Republic has been chosen as a member of the United Nations Statistics Commission for the period 2013-2016, after receiving the highest level of votes amongst the candidates from Latin America and the Caribbean.

Speaking at a press conference at the National Palace, National Statistics Office (ONE) director Pablo Tactuk said that it was a result of the proactive role that the country had taken. Since the DR took over the presidency of the Americas Statistics Conference for 2009-2011, ONE has organized several successful regional and continental meetings.
He went on to say that they had also succeeded in including the non-Spanish speaking countries and that this recognition from the statistical world would give them the opportunity for greater participation and for improving their work standards.

Nothing in the headline needs to be fixed. The term "stoned" has had that meaning in English for centuries.
