End of year 2007

There are many things one has to think about at the end of each year! Of course one thing comes to mind is the question: did I accomplished something?
This question will have many angles and many levels, all of which have to do with the worth of the things accomplished. All of these in the context of the things that we didn't accomplish LOL! Hoe can one know about the things that were not accomplished in the context of the possibility of those to be accomplished. I guess we will never know.
As I read the latest issue of the Sierra Club's magazine I see how lots of things have changed since the Sierra Club started talking about these issues. So even if don't know what could that wasn't is not impossible to see the things that were because they could. Overall I have good feelings of what happened this year around my life for which I am sooooo greatful!

Para Los Desvelados

Como un experimento estamos transmitiendo por radio internet los lunes y jueves. Haciendo uso de Radio Gentz en Motoclub Arandas www.motoclubarandas.com comentamos asuntos y noticias relacionadas al medio ambiente. Bajo el tema "en el ambiente estamos todos" y "si a todos nos va bien,...entonces a todos nos va bien!"
Los amigos que me han escuchado me han dado mucho animo y me han comentado que les gusta la manera como tratamos los temas ambientales asi como la musica que pongo como parte de la programacion. Voy a seguir pensando un pco sobre este experimento y ver de que manera lo puedo usar en mi mision de la vida.

Stem cell research

The Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today lead with scientists announcing that they have devised a way to turn skin cells of a mouse into cells that act the same way as embryonic stem cells. If, as the biologists suspect, they are able to replicate this process with humans, it means that embryonic stem cells could be created without using human eggs or destroying embryos, which has been a source of much controversy. Although scientists warned that it could be a while before the technique is successfully adapted to humans, everyone seems excited about the possibilities.
The Wall Street Journal tops its worldwide newsbox with word that federal prosecutors are investigating whether the Kuwaiti company that is building the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad tricked and abused foreign employees who were brought into Iraq to work on the $592 million project. First Kuwaiti General Trading & Contracting was barred from using Iraqi workers out of security concerns, so the company hired cheap labor from countries such as Bangladesh and Egypt. The company allegedly told employees they would be working in Dubai, and then confiscated their passports when they reached Baghdad so they couldn't leave. First Kuwaiti denies the allegations. Both the State Department and the U.S. military have already investigated the company over similar claims and said they couldn't find evidence of any wrongdoing.

Wild Hogs

Finally we did manage to go to the movies and saw Wild Hogs. It takes a bunch of old geezers to have fun! We had some.

On a Saturday night

After a nice day, my wife Maria Eugenia and I decided to go to the movies. We wanted to see Wild Hogs but I didn't look in the newspaper to see times, so when we got to the cinema it was too late!
We'll try again tomorrow! The thing is: it seems to me that for one reason or another we are always missing the schedules and shows some lack of motivation of our part!

Clinton offers help

President Clinton said in an interview this week in Mexico that he would be happy to advise president elect Caldron on matters of state. Calderon has not replied to Clinton's offer for his consulting services.
