	HOW TO GET THERE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The best route to the Tacaná summit (4091 m) from the Guatemalan side of the border leaves from a town called Sibinal at 2500 m elevation, about 7 km ENE of the summit (75 x 2.3).
		Sibinal is reached by car and a poorly maintained road from San Marcos, about 65 km away and Ixchiguan.
		The trail is known by residents of Sibinal, and leads up the Sierra de Sibinal to a place called La Haciendita (74.5 x 98) after about 3-4 hrs.

		Given its limited geographic scope, the proposed project would, in effect, serve to design and pilot investments at the municipal level for eventual extension by MIRNA to other municipalities not covered by the MSP.
		Municipalities were selected on the basis of political and financial commitment to conservation and sustainable livelihood activities, presence of globally significant extant forests and strategic benefit for regional conservation planning.
		Municipal corporations will receive the bulk of GEF incremental funds and be responsible for utilizing said funds to implement project activities.

	Central America Report from Inforpress Centroamericana edition 3237
		Some refugees in the 1980s only learned that they were "Guatemalan" when they were told so in Chiapas, Mexico, after fleeing the Guatemalan army´s scorched-earth campaigns.
		According to municipal officials in Sibinal, San Marcos, there are villages today, such as Las Pilas, where some residents are unaware that they "are Guatemalan." Identity created by language, locality and culture have been far more relevant than September 15, the national anthem and the blue-and-white flag.
		If in 184 years the State has not been able to convert itself into a relevant benchmark for many people within its borders, then what possibilities exist today for achieving this when the modernizing role of the State is in crisis?

		United went behind early in the game by defensive mistakes, but fought their way back to a 2:2 midway through second half.
		However- in the 88th minute, a lost ball in midfield was picked up by Sibinal for a counterattack 3 n 1 and ended up to be the winning goal for the 2:3 final result.
		Guess the Atlanta Silverbacks (Pro-team) Headcoach could not quite believe what he was forced to see for a second time in two weekends.

	Caribseek Caribbean News \| Denuncian en Guatemala auge de mafias traficantes de indocumentados - Prensa Latina
		GUATEMALA (PL) - Unos 100 mil indocumentados pasan anualmente por Guatemala con ayuda de mafias de traficantes de personas, denunció hoy un reportaje en el cual se afirma que ocho de cada 10 ilegales son extorsionados por policías nacionales.
		Localidades costeras o fronterizas con México, como Tecún Umán, Malacatán, Tacaná, Sibinal y Ocós, todas en el departamento de San Marcos (oeste), son las más utilizadas por redes que internan a ilegales en México, en tránsito hacia Estados Unidos.
		Según divulga este domingo el rotativo Prensa Libre, la falta de policías, el soborno y la intimidación por parte de esas bandas hacen que el puerto de Ocós sea el punto clave para el trasiego ilegal de cientos de migrantes de Sudamérica y Asia.

	Atlanta Silverbacks
		San Diego handily beat Taximaroa 5-0 in the Fall season opener in early September, but after a 7-3 Champions League victory on September 16 over Ciclón Azul, the Liga Internacional champion, they managed only a 2-2 draw in league play against Fuerte San José just two days later.
		The Silverbacks newcomers recovered the following weekend to thrash Sibinal 9-0, followed by the last group-stage Champions League match, a tough 2-2 tie with Future Stars last Friday.
		Injuries and fatigue played a factor (again only on two days rest) in San Diego’s first league defeat of the season, a 2-1 decision against another Liga Lawrenceville powerhouse, Real Tapatío.

		Sporatic bus service is available for the long 350 km ride.
