They are calling it ‘narcoterrorism’
They are calling it ‘narcoterrorism’: Over time, we've associated car bombs with terrorism. We saw some of that in Afghanistan and Iraq. Israel has seen a lot of it over the years. Well, they are now seeing it in Mexico. Let's check out the story:

Over time, we’ve associated car bombs with terrorism. We saw some of that in Afghanistan and Iraq. Israel has seen a lot of it over the years. Well, they are now seeing it in Mexico. Let’s check out the story:
Two car bombs exploded in the Mexican state of Guanajuato on Thursday, Oct. 24, in what state officials have described as an act of “narcoterrorism.”
The explosives went off in the southern municipalities of Acámbaro and Jerécuaro, just miles outside of Guanajuato’s border with the State of Mexico (Edoméx).
The Acámbaro explosion, which occurred outside of the local police station, left three local police officers injured in its wake.
Numerous schools and businesses in the municipalities said they had suspended operations for the day after the car bombs went off.
A day ago, a Mexican friend told me that people are in a bit of shock. After all, to paraphrase another friend, Mexico’s had a lot of problems over the years but car explosions is not one of them. Let me add that I’ve taken many trips to Mexico before, even lived there for four years working for U.S. company, and cars exploding is not among them.
Over the last month, Mexico has been hearing a lot about violence in the news. In the state of Guerrero, on the Pacific coast and home to Acapulco, the mayor was decapitated. In Sinaloa, or closer to the border, a truck was discovered with at least five dead bodies. And now lovely and colonial Guanajuato has been shaken by two car explosions.
So far, no policy shift from the administration that wants to hug its way to peace with criminals.

October 28, 2011: Texas vs St. Louis and that painful Game 7
Who can forget? I think that all of us know how David Murphy felt watching the other guys celebrate the last out of the 2011 World Series.
What was the turning point of game 7? It was Molina walking on a 3-2 pitch that was simply too close to take. It kept a rally going and it was over after that.
Don't get me wrong. I think that the Cardinals won fair and square. They got the clutch hits and we didn't. They threw strikes and our guys didn't. They manufactured runs and we didn't.
It was a bad night for Rangers' fans, specially the agony of Game 6 the night before.

1886: Another anniversary of The Statue of Liberty
We remember another anniversary of The Statue of Liberty.
Lady Liberty, as we affectionately call her, was dedicated by President Grover Cleveland on this day in 1886. It is one of the country's great landmarks.
