The relatives of an activist who was shot dead outside the Chihuahua state government’s office have fled to the United States, state officials said Monday. Marisela Escobedo was killed on Dec. 16 as she mounted a vigil demanding the arrest of the man who confessed to killing her daughter Rubí. The suspect, Sergio Barraza, was freed by a court in April. The decision was later reversed by a higher court, but by then he had vanished. Graciela Ortiz González, the state secretary for government, said Monday that family members had crossed the international bridge to El Paso, Texas, despite state offers of protection.Last edited by Rafael Norma; 28-diciembre-2010, 03:13.Comment

Bare-Bones Approach Lets a City Embrace Winter
Residents of Mexico City braved the cold this month at a market. Nearly every building here has no central heat.

MEXICO CITY — Homero Aridjis, one of Mexico’s most revered poets, lives in a large home in the hills of this ancient city, with expensive paintings, imported rugs — and an array of items to help him keep warm, including door-stoppers shaped like snakes, thick wool sweaters, even micro~~~eable pillows.
His home, like nearly every building in this megalopolis of 20 million people, has no central heating. And because concrete is the dominant building material, winter here means an indoor existence with temperatures not far from freezing.
“In the United States, you heat the room or the house,” Mr. Aridjis said. “In Mexico City, you heat the body.”
It is one of the fascinating quirks of Mexico City — the way Chilangos, as the city’s residents are known — deal with the weather. Deep in this country’s Aztec roots, there is admiration for submitting to the elements, and it seems to re-emerge every winter with force.
It is not simply the lack of central heating that confounds Americans and Europeans in this mountainous city at an altitude of more than 7,000 feet. It is the ubiquity of the cold as well. In expensive restaurants, in grocery stores and museums, in the homes of the poor, middle-class and even the wealthy, a small space heater is often the only thing breathing warm air.
Architects say this is partly a matter of economics, but not in the way one might expect. Mexican builders and homeowners have simply grown accustomed to construction without central heating, and with single-pane windows that are especially porous to heat and cold. As a result, insulation materials are profoundly expensive here.
Fernando Sandoval, an architect who used to work for Anderson Windows, the American chain, said that given such prices, double-pane glass and central heating could eat up a sixth of the total cost of construction. Few seem to bother. Even the most modern apartments here, with stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops, are often devoid of radiators or thermostats.
“They all say, ‘I’d rather have hardwood floors,’ ” Mr. Sandoval said. “Or, ‘It’s only going to be cold for a month or a month and a half, I’d rather buy a really nice Italian cashmere sweater.’ ”
The thing is, winter here lasts more than a month. Temperatures begin dipping into the 40s at night in November, and fall further in December, January and part of February. Rubén Gallo, a professor at Princeton who edited The Mexico City Reader, a chronicle of the capital, said Mexicans have a hard time admitting this is the case. He likened the contradiction to an essay by Octavio Paz in his book “Labyrinth of Solitude,” in which the Nobel-prize-winning author described the gap between Mexico’s idealized self-portrait — as seen in documents like its Constitution — and the messier, more corrupt routine of daily life.
“We’re always struggling with what Mexico really is,” Mr. Gallo said. “It’s a slight disconnect between the image and the reality of living in a city that has a mountain climate.”
The weather of the region may be getting more extreme as well. For as long as anyone can remember, millions of monarch butterflies have wintered in central Mexico after traveling south, but they were greeted by hail last March. In 3 of the last 10 winters, at least half of the population died as a result of the erratic weather.
In this sense, the lack of central heating is a plus. The array of space heaters available at Home Depot here — short and round, tall and thin, and everything in between — are sometimes considered better for the environment because they may use less energy than a full home heating system.
For many Mexicans, though, the lack of heat has less to do with protecting the environment than with accepting it. Mr. Gallo said that while Americans try to fix the cold, Mexicans rely on fatalism as a means of coping, a sense “that this is how it’s supposed to be.”
Mr. Sandoval offered another take: “The weather is something you participate in,” he said. “It’s something that you’re part of.”
Mr. Aridjis, the poet, agreed. During a tour of his book-filled, ice-box of a home, he recalled growing up in the state of Michoacán, near where the butterflies gather. He said he sometimes found ice crystals in the shower, but he also fondly recalled a rhythm of writing by temperature. He would work for several hours until the chill consumed him, then he would step outside to soak in the warming rays of a winter sun.
For the Aztecs, the sun gods were among the most revered of the deities, and Mr. Aridjis says it should come as no surprise that access to sunlight dominates any assessment of Mexico City real estate. “We are a solar people,” he said. “This is a solar city.”
He acknowledged that some found the approach trying. “I remember when Octavio Paz came from Europe, and he said to me ‘this country has the most terrible weather in the world. I hate the cold.’ ”
But would Mr. Aridjis ever consider changing, adding heat to his home? What if someone offered to replace his windows, and add central heating for free? Mr. Aridjis looked skyward and smiled. “No,” he said. “I couldn’t do it.”Comment
