The AVE train will take five
years to reach Murcia
Alicante will have the train two years
before, Valencia in 2010 and Murcia in 2012
Seven years ago was signed the pact of Mur-
cia and says that the train reach to the capital
in 13 years. Unfortunately, the facts and the
delays are given the reason to the most nega-
tive predictions.
The high speed won´t come to the Murcia city
befote five years –Cartagena they don´t know-
according to the times wicht is thinking the Fo-
ment Ministery and the Railway Infrastructure
Administrator. The AVE, a first-class or high-
performance, won´t be before 2014. With the
most optimistic calculations, the train pass for
the region two years after Alicante and four
after Valencia.
If the protest in Callosa of Segura, Orihuela
and Beniel dont delay more the proyect, the
construction need 34 months to execute. If the
constructions strat the next summer, the pla-
taform won´t be finished to 2012. The Murcian
gobernment think that if don´t be setbacks, it
would take five years to the AVE reaches the
capital of the region.

Sarkozy makes his first trip to Iraq
since his arrival to the Elysée Palace
French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, has arri-
ved to Iraq today ((10th February 2009)). It is
the first ever visit he makes since he was cho-
sen in his position in May 2007, and it is also
the first visit of a French leader since the inva-
sion to the Arabic country in 2003. The trip is
made in the framework of a regional tour in
which he expects to visit Oman, Bahrain and
Kuwait.
Sarkozy travels with the Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs, Bernard Kouchner and the Minister of
Defence, Hervé Morin aiming to reinforce the
bilateral business with the countries with these
Persian Gulf States. Today he expects to meet
with Iraq President, Jalal Talaban, and Prime
Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, as have reported offi-
cial Iraqi sources.
The last visit by French head of state was ac-
tually made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Bernard Kouchner. In year 2003, during Jac-
ques Chirac (1995-2007), France was one of
the main opponents to the Anglo-American in-

The Catholic University of San Antonio of Mur-

newspaper two months ago. “UCAM en breve”
is a free newspaper which is published and is
distributed every two weeks on the campus of

“My mother used to say that I preferred staying

the park or to the cinema, for instance”
Montserrat Acevedo Jiménez de Castro, Self
taught completely, she has been learning all
her life and she look forward to doing it for a
long time. Citien of the world, she leave roots
in many places, such as memories they left
she.
This is her first approach to painting “se-
riously”, and she wouldn´t be the last. She
accept and appreciate criticism, reprimend or
even tips on her works, which she consider
essential to continue growing in knowledge
and willingness to continue…
20 The information
When did you start painting?
I have painted since I remember I was able
to hold a pencil. Even before. My mother
used to say that I preferred staying home, co-
loring or painting rather than going to the
park or to the cinema, for instance.
Which or who do you think was your main
reason to start painting? Did you have
any kind of motivation?
Of course I did. My grandfather was an ar-
tist, he loved painting and writing, and I le-
arnt to hold both a pen, and a brush with
him. I was really fond of my “Lalo”, as I used
The information 21
to call him, and I spent more than a while just
watching and admiring his work.
Landscapes with trees and objects made
of clay, or any kind of pottery, are among
your favorite subjects. Why?
Well, I love trees and have always had a fe-
eling on them , so I love painting trees in dif-
ferent surroundings and seasons; and about
my like for pottery: I was born in Talavera
de la Reina, a city known as “ the city of clay
and pottery”. As a child I got in touch with this
art and as I cannot work with real clay, I just
love painting it. Both themes are really easy
for me, they come out from the very botton
of my heart.
What is painting for you?
Just giving a blank canvas or a white paper
a life, using a brush, a pencil or whatever
22 The information
…
What do you feel while you are painting?
Well, it is as if time stop, I have never
enough. I want more and more … and it´s
very difficult for me to leave.
Would you have liked to be a professio-
nal painter for a living?
Not really, I prefer it the way it is, If I had stu-
died arts, I wouldn´t have learnt a lot of
things I am really proud of. To paint, I do not
need a teacher or specific lessons but the
knowledge about culture or other languages
is difficult to achieve on ones own.
What are your main artistic tendencies
based on?
With no doubt on Impressionism.
I like the way how an impression produced
by a scene or object can be transfered to a
canvas or paper with the less number of
brushstrokes.

Would you like to work with a famous

painter or to join a working group?
Of course! I would learn a lot. A painter al-
ways has something to teach to the others
and to learn from the others.

Would you have liked to live in any other

time?
Not really. I think we have plenty of possibili-
ties nowadays regarding this branch of Arts.

Which has been your most “special mo-

ment” during your life, to do with pain-
ting?
Well, I would dare say that the day I won a
prize at the age of seventeen.
It consisted on a course of charcoal drawing
with a famous artist …
I felt as proud as a peacock for a while.

Spain won the final series played in Mar del

moment the nº 1 on the ATP ranking.
David Ferrer started losing the series in his
match versus Nalbandian, the local hero.
Many Argentinian fans thought they had al-

Some hours later the first Spanish victory
came. Feliciano López obtained the first
point for Spain, in an incredible match ver-
sus Del Potro. Feliciano started losing, but
finally, he won his match in 4 sets.

Sexism in sports
Despite the attempt by some men to deny
its very existence, there's no doubt that se-
xual harassment of women is widespread
in sports. We have to overcome this ex-
pression of sex discrimination.
In the football codes that have recently
28 The information
come to light we have a culture of accepting
unacceptable behaviours, which it would be
irresponsible to ignore at a political level. The
question is: how do we change these misogy-
nistic attitudes and instead promote a culture
that accepts and respects women?
Many believe that a greater involvement of
women in sports, particularly in decision making
bodies and management roles, is a key, but
many people see football as a male domain and
any 'interference' either from an articulate
woman supporter, or women athletes that could
play them off the park three times over is resen-
ted. Football represents a world where males
are males.
I do not think there is anywhere in our culture
where one can go that you can not see a
woman/girl's body on display. It is seen by the
majority of people as normal.

Now we can see some of a girls rolling up

their shorts, and getting the tightest fitting
tops they can. That is what is expected of
them in society.

One example is one of the most exciting de-

velopments in football in Australia has been
the development of a domestic women foot-
ball league. The advent of a female sport in
an area which is predominantly male has in-
evitably aroused in certain male fans the in-
evitable sexist reaction.

When is society going to get the message

that whistling at women, or staring at their tits,
is not in the slightest bit flattering?

Once a dream did weave a shade

O'er my angel-guarded bed,
That an emmet lost its way
Where on grass methought I lay.

Troubled, wildered, and forlorn,

Dark, benighted, travel-worn,
Over many a tangle spray,
All heart-broke, I heard her say:

'Oh my children! do they cry,

Do they hear their father sigh?
Now they look abroad to see,
Now return and weep for me.'

Pitying, I dropped a tear:

But I saw a glow-worm near,
Who replied, 'What wailing wight
Calls the watchman of the night?

'I am set to light the ground,

While the beetle goes his round:
Follow now the beetle's hum;
Little wanderer, hie thee home!'
