I´m in Palermo also for the moment. Staying in San Telmo though. Have you heard anything if ESPN will pick up the Heat game tonight or the Dallas game on Friday?

Haven't really heard anything about it over here, but NBA.com has the game being braodcasted on ESPN, and we usually get every ESPN game. However, you never know over here, there just might be a tennis match going on or a ing rerun of a game between Quilmes vs Chacarita In the past, there have delayed transmission of a Spurs games and started transmitting on the 2 minute mark of the second quarter.

Nothing is really certain, but I'd say there is a good chance they'll show the game tonight

Yes, sadly I know how it goes. With my luck I´ll get to watch the game and the Spurs will lose!



Hopefully, not though.

Bush daughter purse-snatching is talk of Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) -- Reports that an agile Argentine thief snatched the purse of one of the twin daughters of President Bush while U.S. Secret Service agents were nearby had local media in a buzz Wednesday.

"Bush's bodyguards couldn't handle San Telmo purse-snatcher," read a headline on the Web site of official news agency Telam.

Telam said a government source, who asked not to be named, confirmed reports regarding the robbery. Different local reports said the incident happened on Sunday or Monday.

A law enforcement source briefed on the incident told CNN that Barbara Bush's purse was stolen while she was in Argentina with her twin sister, Jenna. But the source said that "at no point were the protectees out of visual contact and at no point was there any risk of harm."

Barbara Bush, 24, who has the same name as her grandmother, the former first lady, was in a restaurant in the San Telmo neighborhood when her purse was taken, Telam reported.

It was not clear whether she was wearing her purse at the time of the theft or whether she was in an open-air restaurant or indoors.

Radio and television reporters flocked to the main square in the historic neighborhood -- known for its outdoor restaurants and tango performances -- trying in vain to find out in which restaurant the purse had disappeared.

All they came up with were a couple shopkeepers who said they were just discovering that a young woman who had been in their shop in recent days may have been the first daughter.

The U.S. Embassy in Argentina and the White House declined to comment on the reports, and Argentine police said no report had been filed with them.

Officials at Argentina's interior ministry did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

It was not known how long Bush's daughter had been in Argentina or why she was visiting. Some reports said she had been in neighboring Paraguay earlier, in an activity related with UNICEF.

Bush daughter purse-snatching is talk of Argentina??

Give me a break! they say it as if it was front page news. Muggings happen every day, and over here nobody even knows who Bush's daughters are, let alone really care. The story didn't even make front page news in most newspapers. Besides, its not like someone roughed her up and stole her purse. Someone grabbed it where she had left it and run off with it, period. No violence, no one really got hurt. Its a fairy tale ending compared to all the other ed up scenarios that situationg could have ended in.

Its a non-story

Right now, they're reviewing video tapes to find out who did it, and they'll find him soon enough. The dude that stole the purse must be banging his head against a wall somewhere saying

"la hija de BUSH???? LA HIJA DE BUSH?? DE TODAS LAS RICACHONAS QUE PASAN POR ACA, LE TUVE QUE ROBAR A LA HIJA DE BUSH!!?? "

Besides, its not like someone roughed her up and stole her purse. Someone grabbed it where she had left it and run off with it, period. No violence, no one really got hurt. Its a fairy tale ending compared to all the other ed up scenarios that situationg could have ended in.

But that would never happen in the United States, never. No way, I mean you can just taste the brotherly love in the air over here.
