The Foundation Prince of Asturias confused to the Daughters of the
Charity with another congregation

Some average news published yesterday that the Prize Prince of
Asturias of the Concord had fallen on the Daughters of the Charity of

I understand what you are saying Pollyemma, but I think the Princes are "professionals" and they can distinguish the value of the "head" from the value of the heart.

In the same line Elsa stated then: "Funny how Hawking mentions the Marquis De Laplace (who formulated his determinist hypotheses of the world being formed at the margin of God) and, shortly after, the Prince begins his speech evoking the Pope and his influence over the thought and conscience of millions of people… "

The Government of Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Miguel Ángel Moratinos and Maria Jesus San Segundo has confirmed the presence of the first vice-president, Maria Teresa Fernandez of the Vega, and the ministers of Exteriors and Education and Science, respectively.
Though still there is no official agenda, it is believed that don Felipe de Borbón and dona Letizia will come to Asturias on Thursday morning.

Since soloists there will actuate Indra Thomas, Luciana D'Intino, René Pape and Roberto Aronica.
It is probable that, since already it happened last Sunday, dona Letizia is not present at the receipt that continues to the delivery of the awards in the Campoamor, in the hotel of the Reconquest. The Princess wants to be present also, on the following day, at the delivery of the prize the exemplary village, which this year has granted to the village llanisco of Porrúa.
The Princess travels with a medical equipment but, since it is habitual in the displacements of high representatives of the State, there will be a sanitary prepared device for if any contingency arises.
Most of the awardwinners will come to Oviedo between Wednesday and Thursday. Only Tamara Rojo will do it on the same Friday, due to the fact that the previous day dances in London.
There is not known still the day of the arrival to his natal land of Fernando Alonso, flaming champion of the world of Formula I. Lo that yes has come out is that he will greet by the first time to the interest to his arrival to the theatre Campoamor.
