Greek Financial Debt Crisis Only Part of EU's Woes

Greek crisis has accelerated the European Union's crisis. The EU crisis began when they aborted the attempt to write a constitution where you could find ratification. They also tried to expand the EU to 27 members. These events terminated postwar Europe's attempt to establish a political federation.

However they could create a common currency, the euro. The euro had almost doubled the value of the dollar but is know falling back.

Much of this problems are now being accelerated by Greeks crisis.

Egyptian Archaeologists Uncover Sphinx Enclosure Wall at Giza

The 3,400-year-old wall on the Giza plateau part that was covered was finally uncovered by a group of archaeologists. The wall was built by Thutmose IV under the pretext of "Sphinx appeared to him in a dream complaining that it was being choked by sand."
A third, older section of wall that is believed to be part of a settlement for priests and officials was also uncovered. The government is also going to build another wall for protection to the things they uncovered.

Movie Review: Salt

Picture taken from:movie-usher.blogspot.com

About two weeks ago I went to the movie theater to watch the movie Salt. Starring: Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber. It is directed by Phillip Noyce. This great actions films has become one of my favorite movies. It has great sound and visual effects. The topic of the movie is very good because it is one of a kind. It is about a CIA agent that goes on the run after a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Throughout the film we know more about Evelyn Salt's past with the Russians. The Release date was : 23 July 2010 in USA. The name in spanish is Agente Salt. It is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action.
This is what http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944835/ had to say:

Evelyn Salt is a CIA agent and highly respected by all, including her boss, Ted Winter. Out of the blue, a Russian spy walks into their offices and offers a vital piece of information: the President of Russia will be assassinated during his forthcoming visit to New York City to attend the funeral of the recently deceased U.S. Vice President. The name of the assassin: Evelyn Salt. Concerned about the safety of her husband, who she cannot contact, she goes on the run. Winter refuses to accept that she is a mole or a double agent but her actions begin to raise doubts. Just who is Evelyn Salt and what is she planning? Written by garykmcd

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who is Salt?"

My Happiest Moment So Far...

My happiest moment so far was about almost 2 years ago. On December 30th, 2008 my little sister Adriana was born. That day was very exciting for me because I didn't know that a knew member of my family was going to be born. My mother had gone to the hospital for a routine check. I wasn't at the hospital at that time. The doctor told to my mother that the baby was going to be born that day. My father had to register my mother at the cashier. My mother was very excited. In fact, we all were. My father went to pick my brothers and I from home and took us to the hospital. My mother called everyone in her family and told them the news. Suddenly many of my aunts and cousins were at the hospital. I remember we called Pizza Hut and order pizza. After we finished eating my mom enter the labor room. At 5:15 my little sister was born. The doctor checked her and said everything was alright. The first person to hold her was my father. The first of my brother to hold her was me.

LIA Marathon

Well I unfortunately missed the marathon because I was playing soccer. From what I heard the most exciting part of the marathon was the last part because the runners were the fastests and the ones who could run for more distance. Mr. Alvaro won the male race for teachers. Miss Beatriz won the female race for teachers. The Notre Dame school won the most gold medals then came St. Agustine school and the third school with most gold medals was Lincoln International Academy.
