		<description><![CDATA[Finally the international swimming board has come to its senses. It is banning the use of those high tech all-body suits we came to know in the Olympic Games last year. There are obvious competitive reasons, but more important is how this policy improves things for the spectators. Competitively speaking, as long as regulations are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent events in the streets of Iran due to the contested election, has possibly done more in one week to inspire &#8220;regime change,&#8221; than George W. Bush could have ever done. (Regime change in the Middle East had been a stated goal of Bush.) This is a popular movement, and seems very spontaneous. The [...]]]></description>

En la prevención de la Gripe Porcina, el barbijo debe estar colocado por la fuente del gripe, directamente a la porcina, no la persona.
To protect against Swine Flu, the mask should be applied to the source of the flu, directly to the swine, not to the person.

I love Facebook now, but didn&#8217;t start out that way. I was hesitant at first to join in after spending plenty of time with Friendster, Tribe, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Argentina, the change you have in your pocket is sacred. That&#8217;s because there just aren&#8217;t enough coins. Anytime you make a purchase, the merchant will infallibly try their best to wrest that last 50 centavos or one-peso coin remaining in your pocket. Waiters will forgo getting a tip in order to avoid giving you [...]]]></description>

You may know the true story about the crash of a plane of 45 rugby players and students, stranding the survivors high up in the Andes for 72 days of winter.

		<description><![CDATA[Many so called &#8220;pro-lifers&#8221; mistakenly equate abortion rights with favoring abortion. That is far from the truth. The right to abortion is about putting the decision in the hands of the pregnant woman (and her god, if she believes in one) rather than the government imposing its values on her. Mario Cuomo, the former New [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I have been discussing various current events in Argentina. There has been the farm strike, the persistent smoke from extensive prairie fires, plus other tidbits. These two themes are still quite present with a new rural strike beginning yesterday. We&#8217;ll see if the meat disappears from the neighborhood markets again. Meanwhile, the fires from [...]]]></description>

Roll back a few years in history, make that nearly 20, and I was in art school in New York, and with my first boyfriend Robert, still waking up about my sexuality and other things of adulthood.
