2007-10-25 17:31 Frihet
USA:s regering förbereder sig för att förverkliga bland annat alla kubaners innersta drömmar: USA håller på att bygga upp ett stort flyktingläger på Guantanamobasen på Kuba för att kunna ta hand om tiotusentals eventuella flyktingar från närområdet. I sitt tal riktade Bush också en kejserlig uppmaning till övriga världen att enas i Kubafrågan: And now is the time for the world to put aside its differences and prepare for Cuban's transition to a future of freedom and progress and promise. De obet …

2007-10-25 17:00 Find an MVNO for international calling
We've been really getting into MVNOs lately. We love the idea - unused bandwidth going to benefit more consumers. It doesn't hurt that the majority of them are on a prepaid basis. In the course of our research, we noticed that there are quite a few MVNOs that we don't feature in our provider reviews for one reason or another. The blog, though, is a perfect forum to explore these MVNOs. And hey, if we see enough of a positive response, maybe we'll go and add some to the provider reviews. This wee …

2007-10-22 22:45 COHA Report. The Organization of American States: On its Deathbed
To Our Readers Unfortunately, an older and unedited version of the COHA piece entitled œThe OAS: On its Deathbed was inadvertently sent out to a very small cohort of COHA readers on October 17 before an error was discovered and the press run was immediately aborted. Due to a computer editing error, the author, Sean Bartlett did not catch that two different facts were spliced into one sentence. Jose Miguel Insulza, as a young man in his late twenties, was a political director in the Chilean For …

2007-10-15 17:41 "Keep In Mind..."
Continuing with this morning's sacred music theme, we'd be remiss to neglect last week's news out of France that one of the post-Conciliar period's more noted liturgical composers, Spiritan Father Lucien Deiss, died at 86. A Scripture scholar in addition to his lyrical pursuits, Deiss was said to have often looked to his death as "the most joyful day of [his] life." Tapped by Paul VI to oversee the reform of the Lectionary psalter in the wake of Vatican II, he'll likely be remembered more for on …

2007-10-05 14:23 Latin America File: Investors flee Nicaragua as Sandinistas align with Caracas, Tehran, seize Exxon …
Reality bites hard in this "post"-Cold War era when Marxist revolutionaries-turned-democratically elected heads of government resort to their old tricks. Neo-Sandinista Nicaragua, for example, is a key component in the Communist Bloc's Latin American section. Here President Daniel Ortega, who is reverting to his old practices of nationalizing (stealing) private property and punishing political opponents, has revealed his true color: red. Pictured here: Comrade Dan buds around with Iranian Tyrant …

2007-09-30 18:48 Mayans in Guatemala: No compromise, halt gold mining
By Brenda Norrell Sipakapa is not for sale, Mayan community turned down corporate mining cash TUCSON, Ariz. Gold and silver mining in the Mayan homelands in northern Guatemala, near the border with Chiapas, Mexico, is poisoning the water and explosives are destroying the homes in the rural farming community of Sipakapa, Guatemala. œWhile the gold mine is there and operating, there is no solution. The only solution is to stop the mining, said Mario Tema, Mayan from Sipakapa, during an interview …

2007-09-26 00:17 Divine Chocolate Mousse Cake
My friend Joe who is a pastry chef extrordinaire (in the Dominican Republic) gave me this recipe years ago. It became my Dad's favorite cake, and one he always asked me to bake for him on his Birthday. Sadly, Dad's no longer here to enjoy it, but we celebrate his life daily, and his Birthday each Septemember. That's as it should be, and exactly what we did today. It's a very chocolatey cake with a mousse layer which adds to the silky smoothness. A little known trick of the trade, a way to make y …

2007-09-13 04:23 MUHS 150th Anniversary Mass
While it has been nearly two months since the occasion, I have to say that "better late than never" applies in this case. On July 21, 2007, Marquette University High School in Milwaukee celebrated its 150th anniversary with a full day of events, including a " Great Homecoming " on the school's campus and a buffet dinner with entertainment (including fireworks!) at Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin on Lake Michigan. The centerpiece of the celebration was a festive Mass at the Al McGuire Center on …

2007-09-06 03:52 Junot Diaz: Screaming the Fine Nuances of Loss
Seven years ago this writer read a novella-length short story in The New Yorker called "The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by a (to me) unknown writer named Junot Diaz. I sat rapt through two readings and, when I finished it that second time, I was galvanized and breathlessly pounded the pavement to the local independent bookstore to snag his debut short story collection, Drown. I was drawn further in. His stories resonated deeply with a dismayingly subtle undercurrent of loss and, as always …

Colonization What effect did this enormous expansion in world trade have on standards of living across the globe Some believe that the explosion in world trade (and in international migration) put substantial downward pressure on the wages of labor in the labor-scarce land- and resource-rich parts of the periphery (North America, the southern cone of South America, Australia and New Zealand), gave a boost to real wages in labor-abundant Europe, and raised the returns to owners of capital on both …

A few more rides around the block with Helen and I'll be able to take on Matt Gross, the New York Times' Frugal Traveler who spent the summer driving cross country. Gross's travelogue came to an end in yesterday's Sunday Times, with the travel writer pulling into Seattle. That Pacific Nor …
