Complete chaos.
Here is a video of what went on at a Wal-Mart in Isabela, Puerto Rico when the panties were put at 1$ each.
Have you ever gone to a Black Friday sale? How was it?
I went this year but late at night, after the craziness was over. I got some clothes, DVDs and glasses.

Strike at the University of Puerto Rico, all 11 Campuses
This link will take you to a video of the strike. Entitled "Two hours in the strike at the UPR" it shows how the students are living, the conditions, at the gates of their University. There are emotional scenes: when the parents and professors hand them food over the gates, when a particular grandma visits her granddaughter that has been living at the gates.

The students don't do this because they want to or because they don't want to go to school. Wouldn't it be easier to drop out and be able to eat and shower whenever? To sleep on a comfortable bed?
We are fighting for our rights. We are sick and tired of being oppressed. Say NO to privatization. We have the right to a public university!
If you click on the header it will take you to an article on the New York Times that will explain further.

Earthquake in Puerto Rico!
I was on the phone and falling asleep on my bed. At 1:16 am my whole house started shaking! The mirrors and windows rattled and the screams from the neighbors could be heard throughout the whole neighborhood.
I ran to the door, my phone flew against the wall, I came back for it and ran to my grandparents room who were calling my name.
At that moment, the earth stopped shaking.
We went out to the street and met frightened neighbors. The phones started going off. MY mother was the first call. She felt it and grabbed my 5 yo sis and ran. Then my aunt who is in her own neighborhood doing just like me.
Of course, after making sure everyone was ok i did the right thing, logged into facebook. There were around 100 people online in my account and countless groups and pages were made, "I felt the earthquake and shit my pants too!" for example.
It originated a couple of miles from my house but because it was profound we didn't see much consequences. There was no tsunami warning because it didn't reach the 6.5 magnitude. However, we live in a small island and panic dressed the people.
The same magnitud earthquake happened in the '80s in El Salvador, 5000 people dead.
THANK GOD FOR PROTECTING MY ISLAND!
