World Tuberculosis Day

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"The mind is everything. What you think you become." The Dalai Lama


TODAY IN HISTORY:
Eva Duarte Peron
Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet

  • 1976 In Argentina, the armed forces overthrow the constitutional government of Eva Peron and start a 7-year dictatorial period.
  • 1989 Cold Fusion announced.
  • 1993 Discovery of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Marcial Maciel
The Pope is visiting Mexico, but not everything is a picnic. First, because of a new book discussing Marcial Maciel. Read the Reuters article via Yahoo. Then, because some people have decided to protest. Watch the Reuters report. Finally, because Mexico is wounded and depressed. Listen to the NPR report. Is it possible to recreate history? Watch the BBC report about a boat journey. What do you do to exercise your short-term memory? Watch a memory champion on this CNN interview. Have you met people through on-line dating websites? Get updated on dating websites with this Time article. And talking about the internet, do you think a person's life can be destroyed by online gossip? Make sure you watch this Yahoo report.

Its a lot!!! for this some people have decided to protest!! and I agree with this peoples, because Mexico have other problems like education, security, poor, etc. And one day the president decided spend millions in the pope visit!! he ignore the others problems!! and this not okay! u.u I'm catolic but I prefer to spend millions on a common good-looking and no in one day!! >.<
