Drug lord 'La Barbie' takes spotlight in Mexico City
Edgar Valdez Villarreal was arrested after a 14-month manhunt involving 1,200 Mexican federal police and an unknown number of U.S. agents. He faces multiple indictments in the United States for importing tons of cocaine. Mexican authorities say he is a kidnapper, torturer and murderer - as well as a major trafficker of marijuana and cocaine.

Efforts fail to stem flow of drug money

Novos ícones da masculinidade

Novo e recente estudo realizado por empresa de seguro médico britânica verificou que os homens estão ficando cada vez mais críticos com relação a seu físico e sua aparência, ao mesmo tempo que se mostram infelizes com certas partes de seu corpo. Ou seja, aumentou a preocupação - ou mesmo a obsessão - masculina com o próprio corpo e a forma física. Aquilo que até agora era - teoricamente ao menos - apanágio das mulheres, se explicita como sendo também importante para os homens.

Folclore brasileiro em quadrinhos

XAXADO é neto de um famoso cangaceiro que vivia com o bando de Lampião. É o personagem central da turma de crianças que representam as várias faces do povo brasileiro, variando classes econômicas, grau de instrução, vivendo histórias que falam da nossa terra, encantos e problemas, mas sem perder de vista a universalidade da experiência humana.

Cultivando água boa

Quem acompanhou os artigos anteriores talvez tenha tido a impressão de pessimismo, de que estamos chegando tarde demais e de que vamos ao encontro do pior. Na verdade somos realistas. Toda situação de crise como a nossa, possui um componente de dissolução como condição para o surgimento do novo. Este novo, no entanto, não surge diretamente do vácuo quântico, quer dizer, das virtualidades ilimitadas presentes no processo da evolução cósmica e social. Ele conhece antecipações e vai sendo preparado seminalmente até ganhar a hegemonia do processo como um todo. Dai ser importante, estarmos atentos às inovações que se dão ainda dentro do velho sistema da Sociedade de Crescimento Industrial mas que já não obedece à sua lógica.

Migration Issues
Grief across Latam for migrant killings
He was warned the journey north would be hard, so Gilmar Morales beefed up on eggs and sausage, bought some ham sandwiches from the bodega across the street, told his mother he loved her and set off with two other relatives on a path well-traveled by young people here in one of Latin America’s poorest countries.

Trapped Chilean miners forge refuge
Mario Gómez is all too familiar with the hardships of prolonged confinement. While still in his 30s, his family said, he survived as a stowaway on a ship for 11 days, living below deck on little more than bits of chocolate and drops of water collected in a shoe — an ordeal so trying it brought him closer to God.

 Our Opinion
Legalize, regulate and tax drugs

It’s great they got these drug lords, but they will be replaced quickly. Law enforcement is helpless in the fight against the cartels due to their economic ability to sustain their criminal activities.
