The classic

The best team does not always win, that was the phrase that translated the game today. With the Mineirao stadium in total capacity of people, 10% Atletico fans and 90% Cruzeiro fans, Cruzeiro and Atletico went to the field with different goals in the championship. Atletico, as visitant, needed of the points to get closer to the leaders and Cruzeiro, with a better team, wanted to open more points against the second placed, but classic is classic, there is no favorite. As expected the game started nervously, but Cruzeiro played a better soccer than Atletico, pressing and taking the initiative, however, not scored. The punishment came on 40 minutes, in a failure of Cruzeiro's defense, Carlos did a goal and in the next bid Diego Tardelli increased the lead, was a nightmare for the Cruzeiro fans. For relief of fans, a few minutes after Cruzeiro scored with Ricardo Goulart and ended the first time. In beginning of the second time, Cruzeiro's team returned better and scored again with Alisson, the game was tied. Cruzeiro pressed hard the team of Atletico, sent two balls on the post and lost another opportunities. Missing five minutes to the end of the game, Atletico made the third goal with Carlos and the match ends. Sadness for some and joy for others, this was a good classic, marked by memorable moments. Now Cruzeiro and Atletico think about the next games of the Brazilian Championship. Cruzeiro keeps the first place and Atletico going to sixth place. Remaining 15 rounds left in the championship and everything can change.

My first month

It is been almost one month I arrived in Macomb, I am thinking it all very good, my time in the city has been very useful and enjoyable. The American culture it is more different that I can imagine, in the little things the American people’s is much more careful and this reflect in the biggest things which makes the United States a developed country, I hope that my stay here I learn and take a little bit of this culture to Brazil. The university, Western Illinois University, is incredible, it is awesome. In the university I have everything that I need: meal plan, housing, gym, sports programs, student’s organizations, hospitality of the people, campus facilities and another things, all together working of harmonious manner. Until December of this year I will do the English course called WESL. As was expected, I am having some difficulties with English. I understand when the people and professors speak with me, however I think it is very difficult to speak and write, I have a few reasons for this: first of all I never had the opportunity to study English grammar and as a consequence I can not formulate sentences correctly, which hinders the speaking. Here in the United States is more difficult to practice English than I thought it was, all long of the day I have much contact with Brazilian people’s and the Portuguese language, which makes it very difficult to my learning. I expect that in the next months my English can become better and I can give better news for all.

Outbreak of Ebola

The greater support from the other countries is needed to control the outbreak of Ebola. 

In the article written by Alexandra Sifferlin, "Window to Stop Ebola Outbreak Is ‘Closing Quickly,’ Official Warns", she say: "The window of opportunity to stop the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is “closing quickly,” a top health official said Tuesday." Frieden "stressed that Ebola is a global problem, and that closing off affected countries like Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone — many airlines have stopped flying there — will only worsen the outbreak by cutting off access to needed supplies."

The world should have the awareness that the outbreak of Ebola may bring more severe consequences for all if not tackled immediately. The only countries that have the technology and resources to do so are the developed countries and they should provide more help with major investments both in prevention and in combat, if the outbreak of Ebola was not controlled definitely serious economic problems will be generated.
