Recordemos a un amigo...


Siempre que perdemos a un ser querido, recordamos los mejores momentos que compartimos junto a ellos, sus gracias, su manera de vivir, etc.
Cuando perdemos a un amigo de la forma que perdimos a Carlos, siempre nos queda una pregunta. Por que?
Este espacio te lo quiero dedicar con todo el respeto que tu y tu familia se merecen, para recolectar un poco todas esas vivencias que tuvimos todos aquellos que tuvimos el placer de conocerte.
Descansa en paz amigo mio, yo se que estas en un sitio que Dios te ha dado con mucho amor.
por siempre:
CARLOS ENRIQUE LUGO

VooDoo Experience. New Orleans. Halloween '08

R.E.M., industry-defying shredders Nine Inch Nails, and recently reunited alt-rock mavens Stone Temple Pilots have been announced as the headliners for the tenth installment of the Voodoo Music Experience, slated to hit New Orleans' City Park Oct. 24-26. Additional acts include the Neville Brothers, making their first-ever Voodoo appearance, as well as local acts like the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Irving Mayfield's New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, and the New Orleans Bingo! Show.
A complete lineup will be announced as the festival date approaches, and if last year's complete bill is any indication, the 2008 Voodoo Music Experience could pack quite a musical punch.

What is Pangea Day?

Pangea Day taps the power of film to strengthen tolerance and compassion while uniting millions of people to build a better future.

In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that — to help people see themselves in others — through the power of film.

On May 10, 2008 — Pangea Day — sites in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked live to produce a program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music.

The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.

Of course, movies alone can't change the world. But the people who watch them can. So following May 10, 2008, Pangea Day organizers will facilitate community-building activities around the world by connecting inspired viewers with numerous organizations that are already doing groundbreaking work.

Help free the West Memphis Three (WM3)

Shortly after three eight-year-old boys were found murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, local newspapers stated the killers had been caught. The police assured the public that the three teenagers in custody were definitely responsible for these horrible crimes. Evidence?

The same police officers coerced an error-filled "confession" from Jessie Misskelley Jr., who is mentally handicapped. They subjected him to 12 hours of questioning without counsel or parental consent, audio-taping only two fragments totaling 46 minutes. Jessie recanted it that evening, but it was too late -- Misskelley, Jason Baldwin and Damien Echols were all arrested on June 3, 1993, and convicted of murder in early 1994.

Although there was no physical evidence, murder weapon, motive, or connection to the victims, the prosecution pathetically resorted to presenting black hair and clothing, heavy metal t-shirts, and Stephen King novels as proof that the boys were sacrificed in a satanic cult ritual. Unfathomably, Echols was sentenced to death, Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got life plus 40.

For over 14 years, The West Memphis Three have been imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit. Echols waits in solitary confinement for the lethal injection our tax dollars will pay for. They were all condemned by their poverty, incompetent defense, satanic panic and a rush to judgment.

But there's still hope for them, and you can help.

The World in Action

Avaaz.org is a new global web movement with a simple democratic mission: to close the gap between the world we have, and the world most people everywhere want.
“Avaaz” means “Voice” in many Asian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European languages.
Across the world, most people want stronger protections for the environment, greater respect for human rights, and concerted efforts to end poverty, corruption and war. Yet globalization faces a huge democratic deficit as international decisions are shaped by political elites and unaccountable corporations -- not the views and values of the world’s people.
Technology and the internet have allowed citizens to connect and mobilize like never before. The rise of a new model of internet-driven, people-powered politics is changing countries from Australia to the Philippines to the United States. Avaaz takes this model global, connecting people across borders to bring people powered politics to international decision-making.
