She is in great shape. A good role model for people that want to stay physically fit!
My girl is way too young to act up. The problem with Hollywood is that for the most part, most movie scripts are written by people who are NOT Latino, so we will see stereotypes continue.
Good question JP. In my opinion, the US needs to lead the way to foster democratic forms of government since it has the strongest economy in the world. Political Democracy needs economic prosperity to continue since people will give up freedom for s…
It goes without saying that Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is angry but he has his own issues with his crumbling state run economy. He should put down his copy of "Das Capital" and pick up a copy of "Wealth of Nations."
Good one my friend!

On the positive side, we saw the Presidential Inauguration of Barrack Obama. It was positive in the fact that his inauguration broke the racial barrier for African-Americans.

Honduras elects a new President!
In the Telenovela that is Honduras, the latest chapter provides us with a positive turn of events.The Presidential election is over and Porifirio Lobo of the National Party led with 56 percent of the votes, defeating Elvin Santos of the Liberal Party which had 38 percent.

Interim President Micheletti and Former President Zelaya reached an agreement on October 30th. The US supported this agreement. The Presidential Election is set for the 29th of this month and neither Zelaya or Micheletti are… Continue

Zelaya returns - prepare for violence in Honduras
Things just got more interesting and dangerous in Honduras.
Ousted President Manuel Zelaya has sneeked back into the country of Honduras. He is staying in the Brazilian Embassy. If you don't remember, he was removed by the Military in June after trying to pass an unconsititional amendment to the Honduran Constitution. He was facing presidential term limits and, following in the footsteps of his political ally, Hugo Chavez, he tried to amend the constitution.
The Congress said "no" but President… Continue

Honduras feeling the pressure
Here is the latest info on the situation of the diplomatic impass down in Honduras.
Costa Rican President Oscar Arias is attempting to negociate a breakthrough. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton called Interim President Roberto Micheletti over the weekend and spoke to him. Per the Globe and Mail newspaper, State Dept spokesman P.J. Crowley stated she “helped him understand the potential consequences of a failure to take advantage of this mediation.” In other words, make the deal or else.

Lauren Kraus said… - Dear Roberto,
I just read you message. Please give your wife my best wishes - teaching children is so important. As for our NYCDOE public schools -our salaries are very competitive - starting salary with just a BA and no experience is at 45,000 - however what makes us particularily attractive is we do not sign annual contracts -once you are teaching if you hold satisfactory service you are automatically teaching again the followign year; addditionally we have amazing professional development and 1,500 schools to chose from with emphasis on encouraging teachers to be leaders; and finally we have a health benefits plan worth $ 20,000 - apart from this the living costs are reduced in many ways in NYC as you do not need a car to get around and you can find reasonable rentals in all the boroughs if you explore and are willing to keep an open mind. As for my travel...my father worked for CARE -so that caused the movement...and as for our competitiveness I think we have hope that this next generation will be maybe more focused as we slowly turn away from a "me"centered "I" centered culture and move towards community - also this economy I bleieve will make us have more of an emphasis on education and skills building...but we are not where we could be ...and we need to invest more time in this area.
