Swine flu ..."karma" for hispanics people
SWINE FLU: MEXICO CHANGES DEATH TOLL, 7 DEAD
A portrait is emerging of a slow and confused response by Mexico to the gathering swine flu epidemic. And that could mean the world is flying blind into a global health storm.
Despite an annual budget of more than $5 billion, Mexico's health secretary said Monday that his agency hasn't had the resources to visit the families of the dead. That means doctors haven't begun treatment for the population most exposed to swine flu, and most apt to spread it.
It also means medical sleuths don't know how the victims were infected — key to understanding how the epidemic began and how it can be contained.
Swine flu: Mexico claims it started in Asia
"This corresponds to a Eurasian strain," he said। "It is probable that this strain is not circulating among pigs on the American continent."
Doctors had originally believed he had a traditional strain of flu but after the international outbreak, a stored sample was diagnosed in a US laboratory and came back positive for H1N1.
Edgar lives in La Gloria, a sweltering, dusty village near a largee industrial pig farm, leading many to speculate that this was where the virus had leaped from pig to man.
But Mr Lezana said there was no absolutely no evidence to support this claim.
"It is extremely unlikely that the virus made the mutation in La Gloria," he said।
Mexican immigrants could then have brought the virus back home with them, he suggested.
A poor farming community, La Gloria sends many of its residents north of the Rio Grande to work.
Residents of La Gloria have been protesting against the local pig farm for several years, alleging that the waste from the thousands of hogs and piglets has been making them sick.
The allegations have been strenuously denied by the farm's owners.
In February and March, the community was hit with a bout of flu that made hundreds bedridden, including Edgar.
However, Mexican health officials said that samples from other victims show they were suffering from traditional strains of influenza and not the ः१ण१ virus.

Homosexuality Among Native Americans
When English and French-Canadian fur trappers first grew acquainted with the cultures of the Native Americans among whom they found themselves, they were surprised to find that there were significant numbers of men dressed as women among the tribes of the region. What intrigued them the most, however, was the esteem with which these men were held by their fellow tribesmen. These men were considered to be spiritually gifted, a special gift to the tribe by God, men with a particular insight into spiritual matters. As they were encountered in most tribes, the trappers chose a French word to describe them all: "berdache."
Personally, as a person of Native American descent, I thoroughly dislike that term, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that it is ultimately perjorative in its roots. Native Americans find the term offensive as it comes ultimately from the Arabic where it means roughly, 'male prostitute,' a thoroughly unacceptable term to be used for their highly respected spiritual advisors and elders.
The term "Two-Spirit" has been proposed as a replacement, but I find that it too is lacking, in that there is no universal agreement on its meanings, some of which are also perjorative. Yet what it does convey is a sense that these people have a special gift - being in two worlds at once, the normal material world, but also an sensitivity to a special gift of the spirit that only people like themselves can experience.
Other terms also fail to convey the breadth of the phenomenon and the esteem in which these men were held. While men living as men with other men were a phenomenon that varied widely among tribes, the phenomenon of the man dressed as a woman who engaged in the pursuit of spiritual matters was almost universal among North American tribes. The term, "Two-Spirit" is a term I will use, then, to describe this phenomenon in this section of this essay, in spite of its shortcomings.
There were exceptions, of course, to the celebration of Two-Spirits, such as the Pimas of Arizona, but in most cases, Native American tribes, particularly the tribes of the Great Plains and the Southwest, were greatly admiring of their Two-Spirits. Among the Hopi and the Zuni of Arizona and New Mexico, these Two-Spirits held a special status. They were keepers of the ancient traditional stories of creation, healing and growth. But more than that, they were the keepers of the spiritual traditions, recognized for their special gift of being "between genders."

MEXICO CITY, The Mexican government shut down 390 Internet sites that distributed child-pornography in 2008, the local daily El Universal reported on Tuesday.
The authorities managed to capture 200 people suspected of distributing illicit material that promoted sex tourism and trafficking of minors through the Internet, the daily said. Of the 390 sites, 197 were created in Mexico City.
During investigations, seven websites that promoted cyber-terrorism were also discovered, the daily added.
A recent study, made by the Department of Family Development and the UN Children's Fund, showed that there have been 160,000 cases of child prostitution in Mexico during the last nine months.

Male Day Laborers Turn to Prostitution
heir faces reflect how uncomfortable it is for them to talk about. On street corners where day laborers congregate, it’s no longer as easy to find work – but there are plenty of offers of sex for money. There is also a high incidence of workers being drugged and raped, something suffered by many, and hidden by all out of shame.
"The situation is happening more frequently. It happens more on the unorganized corners than in day labor centers, but the problem itself is widespread. It’s like a well-known secret that everyone knows and has experienced, but no one talks about,” explained Pablo Alvarado, national coordinator of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network.
“Gringos see us as cheap brothels and not as day labor centers. Many enter into it (knowingly), but the majority of us are tricked into it. They tell us it’s a job and later it turns out they want sex. I have co-workers who have even been drugged without realizing it,” said Ricardo Ceniceros, who is registered to find work at a day labor center in Rancho Cucamonga.
According to Rodríguez, when they arrived at the apartment he was supposed to paint, a middle-class apartment in the heart of the Southern California city of Signal Hill, the shouts and insults began.
“'We don’t want you to talk, pendejo. Take off your clothes and move over there,'” the white man ordered.....
Chickas hookers.
Some 9,000 boys and girls between 9 and 15 years old, are now engaged in prostitution in" bars, brothels "in corona and Jackson heights. mainly trough the $40 color business card handled to people in Roosevelt avenue .

Dallas Attorney Didn’t Know Mexicans = Beaners
Remember that ridiculous story about Beaner’s Coffee changing its name because it didn’t want to offend Hispanics? Well, now a poor Dallas lawyer is taking the heat for comparing the difficulty of counting the number of Hispanic voters in a city with guessing the number of “beans in a jar.”
“The two methods presented in this case to determine if there is a Hispanic voter majority in the plaintiffs’ district bring to mind the contest where customers are asked to guess the number of beans in a large jar,” attorney C. Robert Heath wrote in a legal brief on behalf of Farmers Ranch (that same place that doesn’t like Mexicans painting their homes in colors)
According to the Dallas Morning News, Mr. Heath has since apologized saying he wasn’t familiar with the slur. “It was just an analogy, and obviously it was ill chosen because it was offensive to some persons,” Mr. Heath said. “That was entirely unintentional, and I apologize for it.”
Shame on you Mr. Heath. If you really know Mexicans, you should know that we’re all beaners.
That’s it! I’m off to have a big plate of frijoles. Ajúa!
99-Year Old Woman Among Rapist's Victims
An illegal alien been denied bond for a horrific and heinous crime against two elderly women, ages 99- and 81-years old. Jose Corrales, 33, is charged with two counts of sexual battery, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of occupied burglary with battery. The first incident occurred on June 22nd, when Corrales, an illegal alien working as a roofer, spotted the 99-year old woman while she was taking out her trash. Police say he had a brief conversation with her then followed her back to the front door and forced his way in. The frail 99-year old woman attempted to fight back but was simply overpowered. Police say he pushed her to the ground with such force, that her dentures flew across the room. She pleaded for her life as she was slapped and punched in the stomach, face, legs, arms and back. . Eventually, she was grabbed by the neck and dragged into her bedroom where, police say, Corrales forced her to perform oral sex. The second incident took place two months later on August 24th. The victim in this case was an 81-year old handicapped woman with limited mobility. She was sitting inside her home when Corrales stood at her doorway, commented how hot it was outside and removed his shirt. Speaking in Spanish, the 81-year-old woman said how she did not lock her door in time, and he made his way inside and forced her to perform oral sex.
