Health on the Border: August 2007

http://borderissue.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 26, 2007. Health needs along the US Mexican Border. I've been browsing the YouTube videos looking for a good interview to post that would be both informative and recent. I stumbled across US Mexican Border Health Needs. I don't know about this speculation the video makes.

And what about the millions of immigrants already in America?

Monday, November 12, 2007. Migrants at increased risk for HIV/AIDS.

http://borderissue.blogspot.com/2007/11/us-mexico-bordertowns-hub-of.html

Sunday, November 4, 2007. US-Mexico bordertowns: a hub of pharmaceuticals not FDA appoved. Mexican pharmaceuticals are entering the U.S. at a staggering rate that is growing annually. The majority of drugs are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration and could potentially harm those who take them.

I dig music. Enough said. Sunday, October 14, 2007. Album Review: Cafe Tacvba. Mexico-based band Cafe Tacvba has a fresh, well-rounded sound and just dropped their new album Sino on Tuesday. The band from Naucalpan, Mexico has been together since 1989 and has snatched up a few Grammy awards along the way. Sino is a well-rounded album from start to finish, beginning somberly with Ortega crooning quietly to just piano with growing intensity. And overlapping melodies with elegant electric guitar work.
