Playing for Argentina against England in a quarter-final match of the 1986 World Cup , Maradona put the ball in the net with his hand but the illegal play went unpenalized and the goal proved decisive in Argentina's 2-1 victory.  (Watch the goal &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD2x1DcSXQ8"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;)  After the match Maradona described the goal as "un poco con la cabeza de Maradona y otro poco con la mano de Dios" (a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God).  Today the controversial goal continues to be a subject of debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Han pasado casi 22 años y en Inglaterra hay algo que no se olvida. Aún, como si fuese ayer, de la manera más cercana posible a la palabra obsesión, todavía se suspira (de rabia o impotencia) por aquel gol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sí, ese. El de "la mano de Dios".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El tabloide británico The Sun publica este jueves una entrevista a doble página con el autor de la "hazaña", ante Inglaterra en el Mundial de México 1986, Diego Armando Maradona.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/deportes/newsid_7219000/7219557.stm"&gt;continue article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8427084051335383922-7868804831955221239?l=spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/feeds/7868804831955221239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8427084051335383922&amp;postID=7868804831955221239' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/7868804831955221239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/7868804831955221239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/2008/02/perdn-por-la-mano-de-dios.html' title='¿Perdón por la &quot;mano de Dios&quot;?'/><author><name>Alejandro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15015178504758983829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427084051335383922.post-3699709328485790751</id><published>2008-01-31T01:01:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-01-31T01:05:09.121Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cuba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>"Para entender la 'democracia' cubana"</title><content type='html'>Following last week's elections in Cuba and the aproaching day when Fidel Castro will no longer be the leader of the country, this article provides a clear description of how the political processes works on the island.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Más de ocho millones de cubanos han elegido, por medio del voto directo y secreto, a 614 diputados a la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular.

The HidroAysén project headed by the Matte Group will construct five hydroelectric dams in a pristine area of Patagonia.  The dams would be built on two of Chile’s largest rivers – the Baker and the Pascua – and together would generate nearly 3,000 MW of electricity, roughly equivalent to 20 percent of Chile’s current overall generating capacity.  This article from Chile’s QuePasa magazine draws attention to the role of Aaron Sanger, an activist from the United States who is among the leaders of the opposition.  Sanger and fellow environmental activist Douglas Tompkins (co-founder of the ESPRIT clothing company) are playing significant, and at times controversial, parts in the South American environmental movement, particularly in Argentina and Chile.  Some think they bring powerful voices (and in the case of Tompkins, a huge checkbook) to stand up for the environment while others see them as first-world meddlers who force themselves on Latin American nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Aaron Sanger es prácticamente un desconocido en Chile. Sin embargo, hoy lidera la batalla de los ambientalistas contra el proyecto HidroAysén. Fue interlocutor de los Matte -y cercano a Eliodoro- cuando en 2003 logró un inédito acuerdo con CMPC y Arauco para la protección del bosque nativo. Hoy dice que no negociará y que el eslogan que difundirá por el mundo es "No Matte la Patagonia". Qué Pasa recorrió con Sanger el río Baker y Pascua, estuvo en su encuentro con Douglas Tompkins y conoció de su propia boca la estrategia que piensa poner en práctica para detener la construcción de las represas.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quepasa.cl/medio/articulo/0,0,38039290_101111578_329621476,00.html"&gt;continue article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8427084051335383922-3491198803014925381?l=spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/feeds/3491198803014925381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8427084051335383922&amp;postID=3491198803014925381' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/3491198803014925381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/3491198803014925381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/2008/01/el-ms-duro-rival-de-los-matte.html' title='&quot;El más duro rival de los Matte&quot;'/><author><name>Alejandro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15015178504758983829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427084051335383922.post-3530885679448826571</id><published>2008-01-29T04:15:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-01-29T04:35:11.645Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bolivia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Festivals'/><title type='text'>"Bolivianos renuevan esperanzas, aunque en miniatura"</title><content type='html'>Bolivians are celebrating the festival of Alasita.

In an article from Argentina's La Nacion, tourism is supporting archeology.  Pre-Columbia figures that were discovered in Peru ten years ago are being developed as a tourist destination.  The hope is that the figures and other ruins will be able to lure tourists in the same way as Machu Pichu. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Los cerros de Lambayeque, al norte del país, posee figuras extrañas de 2500 años de antigüedad;

  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;BBC Mundo offers a reflection on Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega’s first year in office.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Ortega previously served as leader of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Nicaragua&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, first as a &lt;/span&gt;member of the ruling junta and later as elected president from 1985 to 1990.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This period is best remembered for the Iran-Contra scandal, in which the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; government of Ronald Regan sold arms to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;While Ortega’s first period in office was characterized by socialist policies he has since moved toward more moderate and even conservative policies in some cases.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Ortega ganó las elecciones presidenciales en noviembre de 2006 y regresó al poder el 10 de enero de 2007, casi 17 años después de haber terminado su primer gobierno. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;The case began in August when Venezuelan-American businessman Guido Antonini Wilson was caught carrying $800,000 in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; currency into &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Argentina&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Argentine customs officers seized the cash but Antonini was allowed to leave. The case became an international diplomatic dispute when &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; prosecutors charged five men with attempting to silence Antonini on behalf of the Venezuelan government.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In court the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; alleged that the money was sent by the Venezuelan government for the campaign of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the former first lady who won &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Argentina&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;'s presidential election in October.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Kirchner denied any connection to the money and charged the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; with trying to undermine Argentine-Venezuelan relations. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Stepping away from the politics of the incident, this article focuses on the unlikely fame of the custom agent who initially discovered of the money.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;There is also an English version of the &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB119984618762676979.html"&gt;article.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p class="times"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class="times"&gt;BUENOS AIRES — Hasta una mañana de agosto pasado, María del Luján Telpuk era una desconocida agente de policía aeroportuaria de 27 años. Pero su vida cambió en el momento en que un avión Cessna Citation procedente de Caracas aterrizó en esta capital.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="times"&gt;Al inspeccionar el equipaje de los pasajeros mientras pasaban por la máquina de rayos X, Telpuk notó que una de las maletas contenía las siluetas de "seis rectángulos perfectos y muy densos". Los rectángulos resultaron ser los aproximadamente US$800.000 en efectivo que llevaba Guido Antonini Wilson, un misterioso hombre de negocios con pasaportes de Estados Unidos y Venezuela y un apartamento en Florida.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="times"&gt;Telpuk, una ex profesora de jardín infantil, acababa de descubrir la primera prueba de un gran escándalo. El mes pasado, fiscales estadounidenses, que investigaban a supuestos agentes venezolanos en Florida, alegan que el dinero era una contribución del presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez a la campaña presidencial de la nueva presidenta izquierdista argentina Cristina Kirchner. Tanto Chávez como Kirchner rechazaron enérgicamente las acusaciones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p class="times"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="times"&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB119983798442476311.html"&gt;continue article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8427084051335383922-4454557812455877714?l=spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/feeds/4454557812455877714/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8427084051335383922&amp;postID=4454557812455877714' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/4454557812455877714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/4454557812455877714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/2008/01/la-polica-argentina-del-valija-gate-se.html' title='&quot;La policía argentina del &apos;valija-gate&apos; se convierte en estrella&quot;'/><author><name>Alejandro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15015178504758983829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427084051335383922.post-8604720369486220533</id><published>2008-01-09T10:00:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-01-09T03:31:12.303Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Medicine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Advanced'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spain'/><title type='text'>"Niños condenados a ser perfectos"</title><content type='html'>From Spain's El Pais comes this article on pharmacological treatments for hyperactivity in children.  Are such medications essential to helping children overcome a serious condition or does do they instead enforce a unrealistic conformity?  &lt;blockquote&gt;El niño se levanta del pupitre sin que venga a cuento. El profesor le dice que se siente y poco después lo encuentra otra vez de pie y enredando. Lo mira: el maestro ha vivido esta escena cientos de veces. Los niños cambian, pero los hechos se repiten. "Fuera de clase", se ordenaba al niño díscolo hace 15 años. "Pablo, ¿te has tomado hoy la pastilla?", se pregunta ahora a este tipo de niños.                 &lt;p&gt;Son niños hiperactivos. Sólo el 15% de los que padecen este trastorno están diagnosticados. Pero no todos los niños que se mueven mucho lo son. Mientras unos especialistas recomiendan que se les medique, otros aseguran que a menudo la solución está en la familia, en cambiar costumbres.

Ahora procesan a no pocos inmigrantes y pasan períodos imprevisibles detenidos en cárceles de ciudades y condados, incluso privadas –aunque el delito es federal–, conviven con delincuentes comunes y son inopinadamente trasladados de un estado a otro, dificultando así la tarea de los abogados defensores.

The dessert takes its name from los Reyes Magos, the three wisemen, and is &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;served at holiday gatherings on January 6th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="head_article"&gt;&lt;span class="author_article"&gt;&lt;span class="sum"&gt;Únase al espíritu de los tres Reyes Magos cocinando esta rosca, muy al estilo mexicano. No se olvide incluir unos cuantos muñequitos dentro de la masa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="head_article"&gt;&lt;span class="author_article"&gt;&lt;span class="sum"&gt;Su historia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="head_article"&gt;&lt;span class="author_article"&gt;&lt;span class="sum"&gt;Es mucho lo que se especula entorno al origen de la rosca de Reyes, pero en lo que todos coinciden es que se trata de un platillo delicioso para comer en familia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="head_article"&gt;&lt;span class="author_article"&gt;&lt;span class="sum"&gt;Se cree que apareció por primera vez en Francia, cuando un cocinero de la corte de Luis XV quiso complacer al monarca ofreciéndole un pan tradicional de su tierra. Éste tenía en su interior un medallón de diamantes, y al rey le encantó. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="head_article"&gt;&lt;span class="author_article"&gt;&lt;span class="sum"&gt;El rey francés comenzó a promover la tradición y en el interior de la rosca se comenzaron a colocar pequeñas sorpresas, algunas muy valiosas. Más tarde la costumbre llegó a España. Fue muy bien acogida y en lugar de regalos valiosos se le comenzó a introducir un frijol de haba.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="head_article"&gt;&lt;span class="author_article"&gt;&lt;span class="sum"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.laopinion.com/print.html?rkey=00000000000002955150"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="head_article"&gt;&lt;span class="author_article"&gt;&lt;span class="sum"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.laopinion.com/print.html?rkey=00000000000002955150"&gt;continue article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8427084051335383922-4365359433434533070?l=spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/feeds/4365359433434533070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8427084051335383922&amp;postID=4365359433434533070' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/4365359433434533070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8427084051335383922/posts/default/4365359433434533070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spanisharticleoftheday.blogspot.com/2008/01/rosca-de-reyes.html' title='Rosca de reyes'/><author><name>Alejandro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15015178504758983829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
