Lee Dong Gook, the striker for Middlesbrough has been banned by South Korea for going to an Indonesia Karaoke Bar without permission.

Lee Dong Gook has also accepted responsibility for his actions although the Korea Football Association has repeated that his punishment remains the same.

A Football Player must not only be great in playing the game but in behaving like a professional and obeying the rules of the club of their country or the club with which they have a contract.

Any football player who violates that trust deserves to be suspended without regards to race, creed, colour, ethnicity, social status, or personal ties.

Regardless, Middlesbrough will survive with or without Lee Dong Gook.

Parece que fue suspendido Lee Dong Gook por la asociacion de futbol coreano [Corea del Sur] por visitar un bar [con otras amistades en el club de Corea del Sur] sin permiso.

Lee Dong Gook acepto la responsabilidad por sus errores y confeso ser merecedor de su castigo.

Un jugador de futbol debe comportarse como un profesional y obedecer las reglas de la asociacion de futbol de su pais. Tambien debe obedecer las reglas del club con que firmo el contrato.

Los violadores de ese compromise merecen ser castigo sin importer raza, etnia, religion, estatus social.

EDITORIAL: U.S. OUT OF VERMONT - LONG LIVE THE "UNTIED STATES"
"U.S. Out Of Vermont.” How to explain the popularity of such sentiment?
Some of the energy is faddish, no doubt, while other left-leaning Bush-bashers reflexively point to, as a primary cause, the past seven years of “King George” and Vice Resident Cheney’s Beltway reign.
But “U.S. Out Of Vermont?” This from a state that has enthusiastically contributed, to the rest of the country, Ethan Allen’s defiance, John Deere’s plow, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Robert Frost’s poetry, Joseph Bentley’s science, Grace Potter’s music, John Dewey’s pedagogy, and more pancake syrup than you can shake a maple limb at? This from a state that has willingly sent its own sons (and now daughters, too, in the Iraqi desert and the Afghani mountains) to fight and die on behalf of America since the independent republic of Vermont joined the United States in 1791?

Segun la AP, arrestaron a varios jovenes en Cuba por utilizar a las pulseras que dicen cambio. Hay que condenar este Nuevo atropello de violaciones de los derechos humanos en Cuba. Hay que condenar el atropello contra los estudiantes en Venezuela.

AP: “Arrestan a jóvenes por usar pulseras que dicen 'cambio'”

Una comisión de estudiantes, encabezada por los dirigentes Stalin González y Yon Goicochea, se reunió con los miembros del Consejo Nacional Electoral, a quienes expusieron la necesidad de postergar el referendo de la reforma constitucional. Los estudiantes, que habían marchado junto a sectores de la sociedad civil de forma pacífica desde la Universidad Central de Venezuela hasta el ente comicial, entregaron un documento a los rectores del CNE en el que exigen respeto a los derechos electorales y la postergación de la consulta. Luego de la reunión, efectivos de los cuerpos de seguridad tuvieron que disolver la manifestación al presentarse algunas escaramuzas entre un sector estudiantil y la Policía Metropolitana.

Los dirigentes estudiantiles, Freddy Guevara y Stalin González, rechazaron la violencia que de parte y parte de desató en la movilización realizada este jueves en contra de la reforma a la Carta Magna. Asimismo, anunciaron que el próximo miércoles saldrán nuevamente a las calles a mostrar su descontento en contra de los cambios al texto legal, esta vez hasta el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia

A primeras horas de la mañana de este jueves fueron desalojados por la Guardia Nacional del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ), los dirigentes del partido Primero Justicia quienes se encontraban de vigilia en el organismo con el fin de exigir una decisión sobre la votación por bloques en el referéndum.

La tasa de inflación en Venezuela se disparó 2,4% en octubre pasado, superior al 1,3 por ciento del mes previo, lo que llevó el índice interanual del indicador hasta el 17,2 por ciento, indicó el Banco Central de Venezuela. Con este resultado, la variación acumulada del IPC al décimo mes del año se ubicó en 13,6%

Durante el foro sobre Perspectivas Macroeconómicas para el 2008, Ricardo Vaquero, encargado de Conindustria, aseguró que la actividad económica y de inversiones en Venezuela presenta restricciones y que la demanda ha ido creciendo sin que haya sido compensada con la producción

Según la ONG "Observatorio de Prisiones" 370 reclusos fueron asesinados y 781 resultaron heridos en el país durante los primeros nueve meses de este año. Humberto Prado, director de la ONG, consideró que de acuerdo con esa tendencia, el número de crímenes en las cárceles del país al final de año superará los 412 que se registraron en 2006
