CUBA - RAUL CASTRO
Many people thought that the new Raul Castro change many things in Cuba but with the time we can´t see any important change, and it´s sad because the people in Cuba don’t want the actual regimen.
I think that USA and the countries of the “first word” should pressure Cuba to change the laws to the political prisoners. I will like ask to the President of USA if he think that economic embargo the U.S. has maintained for the past 40 years over Cuba was successful, because for me the life in the island it´s the same since Fidel Castro took the power-

Ireland Cites Uzbekistan-Bahrain Decision in Appeal
This week, France and Ireland played the last game to decide who goes to Soccer World Cup in South Africa 2010. In the last minute Thierry Henry (France Player), touch de ball with his hand and the play ended in scoring which meant the classification of France and the consequent elimination of Ireland. Ireland Soccer Association submitted a formal proposal to FIFA in order that the game is repeated using as a main argument that you can not let the refereeing errors still determine the fate of the teams. It is time that football referees can use the video in order to review plays polemics as allowed in other sports.
For me it's time to allow the use of video in soccer games. The video will be very good tools that change the soccer and allow to the referees take more just decisions.

Study: Repression Continues In Raul's Cuba
The recent study write by Human Rights Watch say that now in Cuba, in the new government of Raul Castro, the situation it´s the same that 4 years ago in the Fidel Castro times. It´s important to USA and Europe see situation of the political prisoners in Cuba.
Many people thought that the new Raul Castro change many things in Cuba but with the time we can´t see any change, and it´s sad because the people in Cuba don’t want the actual regimen.
All the comments are important to me, and all of them say that USA and the countries of the “first word” should pressure Cuba to change the laws to the political prisoners. Other comments, which I think are successful, question the usefulness of the economic embargo the U.S. has maintained for the past 40 years over Cuba.

AUSTINITIES “CRUISE” THE CAPITAL-
Chris Nielson has a good idea, he wants to use small and electrical vehicles (golf cars) and incorporate it in to the Austin public transportation system. One of the better things of these systems it´s 25% more efficient in gas consumer. But this option needs specials license. Two years ago he fight for public ordinance to back to his plan, but is not easy, many experts have some safety observations and now this option is only a plan.
I think that incorporated these systems in de public transportation is a good idea, first, because is friendly whit the planet and two, is a cheap option to make better the Austin transportation publics system. To make a transportation system better is necessary have many options, like cycles routes, taxis in the streets, more bus routes and more.
I need ask you a question. For you, the public transportation in Austin is good?

GOOGLE ACCUSED OF VIOLATING LAWS. (The Daily Texan – Thursday October 22)
One of the bigger monsters of the digital business is in problems. One group, called "China Written Works Copy Right Society" has many objections in the Google project called “Google digital library” because some Chinese writers can find theirs texts in the project, but Google don't pay anything for their Copyrights. The article show’s the point of view the Google and the China writers, but says too that China is probably the more questioned Nation in Copyrights laws. For me is necessary that Google in the project observe the international treaties and the American copyrights laws, and is necessary a government supervision in the Google project. But I think too that the digital library project is a big and important project, because is probably the most safety way to preserve the books for the future generations.
