La campaña del ex gobernador de Massachhusetts \"fellicitó\" a la campaña de Santorum pocos minutos después de concluida la rueda de prensa.Según los primeros informes de prensa, previo a la conferencia de prensa Santorum llamó a Mitt Romney para anunciarle que suspendía su campaña. Al hacer el anuncio Santorum recordó que ganó 11 estados y que fue el apoyo de los votantes lo que impulsó su campaña.“Se ha comprobado que es una voz importante en nuestro partido y en la nación. Ambos reconocemos que lo que es más importante es dejar atrás los errores de los últimos tres años y poner a los Estados Unidos de regreso en el camino a la prosperidad”.El ex senador Santorum había cancelado algunos eventos de campaña para estar junto a su pequeña hija Isabella, de 3 años de edad, que estaba hospitalizada.“Hemos tenido una semana difícil, un viernes santo de pasión con la situación de nuestra hija” dijo en su conferencia de prensa, añadiendo que la decisión de retirarse la tomó en la mesa del comedor familiar de su casa en Virginia, el fin de semana.Durante las últimas semanas habían sido crecientes las presiones sobre Santorum para que abandonara la campaña por la nominación, abriendo el camino para la nominación de Mitt Romney.Satorum había informado inicialmente que seguiría en la campaña por lo menos hasta fines de abril hasta las primarias de su estado natal, Pennsylvania. Sin embargo la ventaja de la que disponía se había evaporado en los últimos días y Romney aparecía como líder en las encuestas.La \"suspensión\" de la campaña es un término técnico para decir que la campaña continúa pero sólo para poder recolectar algunos fondos que permitan solventar las deudas aún pendientes.", "url": "http://www.voanoticias.com/content/rick_santorum_partido_republicano_nominacion/177392.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20120414010836/http://www.voanoticias.com/content/rick_santorum_partido_republicano_nominacion/177392.html" } ]

Podstawę do inwazji Armii Czerwonej dał pakt Ribbentrop-Mołotow zawarty 23 sierpnia 1939 r. między ZSRR i hitlerowskimi Niemcami . W ten sposób dokonano czwartego rozbioru Polski.Rzeczpospolita padła ofiarą dwóch totalitaryzmów: nazizmu i komunizmu.

Długa jest lista zbrodni i nieszczęść, które dotknęły wtedy wschodnie tereny II RP i obywateli polskich, którzy się tam znaleźli. Składa się na nią zbrodnia wojenna rozstrzelania przez NKWD ponad 20 tys. bezbronnych jeńców, polskich oficerów, wysiedlenie i zesłanie setek tysięcy obywateli Rzeczpospolitej. Osadzenie ich w nieludzkich warunkach w obozach i więzieniach oraz przymuszanie do niewolniczej pracy. Te sowieckie zbrodnie rozpoczęły szereg aktów przemocy, które składają się na tragedię Golgoty Wschodu.Polski los podzieliło wiele innych narodów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej.

Der unbekannteste der fünf Sinne Mit einer Serie von Studien zeigten die beiden Wissenschaftler, wie der Körper etwa 10.000 verschiedene Gerüche identifizieren kann. 1991 beschrieben sie gemeinsam rund tausend Gene der Maus, die der Geruchswahrnehmung dienen. Die Gene dienen als Bauanleitung für die Rezeptoren der Riechzellen. Später zeigten beide Forscher, dass in jeder Riechzelle nur eines dieser Gene abgelesen wird. Jede Zelle des so genannten olfaktorischen Epithels in der Nase verfügt also nur über einen Rezeptortyp. Daher reagiert jede Zelle nur auf eine Gruppe chemisch verwandter Geruchsstoffe und das verschieden stark. Riechen mit Gefühl Das olfaktorische Epithel enthält Nervenzellen, die Impulse an das Geruchszentrum im vorderen Teil des Gehirns senden. Dieser Hirnteil ist zum einen mit der Hirnrinde verbunden, in der bewusste Gedanken gefasst werden. Zum anderen wird die Geruchsinformation an das limbische System weitergeleitet, das für Gefühlswahrnehmung zuständig ist. Auf diese Art können Menschen sich ihr Leben lang an einen von Oma gebackenen Geburtstagskuchen oder den Gestank verdorbener Muscheln erinnern.

Facebook spokesman Jonathan Thaw declined to comment.\n100 Times Earnings\nThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said that it will review the incident to figure out its cause and any steps needed to address it.\nThe IPO price made Facebook, co-founded in 2004 by a then- teenage Mark Zuckerberg, the largest company to go public in the U.S. While Facebook has evolved from a Harvard University dorm- room project into a social network with more than 900 million users, revenue growth is poised to slow for a third straight year and advertising sales haven’t kept pace with user additions.\n“This is what happens when you price something around 100 times earnings,�? said Barry Ritholtz, chief executive officer at FusionIQ in New York. “If this closes poorly, there is nobody to blame but the company and the underwriters themselves.�?\nFacebook priced at the top end of its range of $34 to $38 a share, valuing it at about 26 times sales in the 12 months through March 31. As of yesterday, that was more than twice as much as AvalonBay Communities Inc. (AVB), currently the most costly company by that measure in the S&P 500.\nGM’s Offering\nFacebook shares opened at $42.05 today and initially surged as high as $45 before paring gains.\nAt $16 billion, Facebook’s sale surpassed that of General Motors Co., making it the second-largest in U.S. history, excluding so-called over-allotments, which let underwriters buy more shares at a later date, data compiled by Bloomberg show.\nGM raised $15.8 billion in November 2010, before expanding the sale to $18.1 billion when underwriters exercised the over- allotment option. Visa Inc. raised $17.9 billion in its 2008 IPO, the biggest in the U.S., and later expanded the sale to $19.7 billion. Facebook’s underwriters may buy an additional 63.2 million shares at the IPO price, which would enlarge the IPO to as much as $18.4 billion.\nFacebook’s offering price gave it a market capitalization almost double the $60 billion United Parcel Service Inc., previously the biggest company to complete an IPO, was valued at when it went public in 1999, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and Dealogic.\nIPO Performance\nFacebook stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol FB. The social network, led by 28-year-old CEO Zuckerberg, is the first company to complete a U.S. IPO in a week, after vacuum-pump maker Edwards Group Ltd. raised $100 million on May 10.\nThe 67 companies that completed U.S. IPOs this year before Facebook gained an average of 7.2 percent in public trading through yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Before today, six of the 10 best-performing newly listed U.S. stocks this year had been Internet or technology companies, led by Guidewire Software Inc., the provider of software to the insurance industry that gained 95 percent.\nFacebook’s IPO coincided with intensifying U.S. market turmoil. About $1 trillion had been erased from American equity values this month after speculation Greece will leave the euro region reversed the biggest first-quarter rally since 1998, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.\n$176 Million\nFacebook’s bankers, led by Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) Group Inc., may split about $176 million for managing the IPO after accepting a lower-than-average fee for their work. Facebook hired more than 30 underwriters, which also included Bank of America Corp., Barclays Plc, Allen & Co., Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG, and Deutsche Bank AG.\nThey’ll get about 1.1 percent of what Facebook raised, said two people with knowledge of the matter, who declined to be identified because the rate is private.\nThe IPO price gave Facebook a market value about half the size of Google Inc. (GOOG), which was worth more than $200 billion as of yesterday. The search-engine operator’s value has jumped almost ninefold in the eight years since it went public. To hand its public owners the same returns after pricing at the top of its offering range, Facebook would have to be worth about $920 billion by 2020. Apple Inc., the most valuable company in the world, had a market value of about $496 billion as of yesterday.\nEclipsing Google\nFacebook’s offering eclipsed the 2004 IPO of Google, one of its chief competitors for online advertising. Google raised $1.9 billion in its initial share sale, including an over-allotment option. The shares sold at $85 apiece, giving Google a market value of about $23 billion, or about 10 times sales in the 12 months through June 30, 2004.\nFacebook boosted the deal’s size amid a two-week series of meetings where Zuckerberg, Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman pitched the sale to investors across the U.S.\n“There’s hundreds of millions of people that want to emotionally buy this stock and most of them are going to have to buy it in the aftermarket,�? Jon Merriman, chief executive officer at investment firm Merriman Holdings Inc. in San Francisco, said before the stock began trading. “I’d like to see it season over a couple of months.�?\nInvestors’ Plans\nVenture capital firm Accel Partners, based in Palo Alto, California, planned to offer 49 million shares in the initial sale, while Goldman Sachs aimed to sell 28.7 million, according to terms Facebook disclosed this week. Digital Sky Technologies planned to sell 45.7 million shares, and Tiger Global Management planned to sell 23.4 million shares.\nFacebook executives and directors planned to sell 189.4 million shares. Including restricted stock units, options and common stock to be issued following the purchase of Instagram, the shares outstanding would total 2.74 billion.\nSome institutional investors had balked at buying into Facebook over concern about the site’s growth prospects, people with knowledge of the matter said last week. The social network generated sales of $3.7 billion last year, which are poised to rise 64 percent to $6.1 billion in 2012, according to researcher EMarketer Inc. Last month, Facebook said first-quarter profit fell to $205 million as sales growth slowed and marketing costs more than doubled.\nMobile Prospects\nFacebook is trying to adapt as more users access its site via mobile phones instead of the Web. That put pressure on company executives to articulate their mobile strategy as they marketed the stock to potential investors ahead of the IPO. Facebook has said it would add mobile advertising along with new ads to reach users when they log off the company’s website.\nFacebook still faces hurdles in traditional Web advertising. General Motors (GM), the world’s biggest automaker by vehicles sold, said this week it was halting display ads on Facebook, while maintaining brand-promotion pages.\n“It worries me about the pressures that will be on Facebook to create this new stream of revenue,�? John Chachas, managing partner at Methuselah Capital Advisors LP, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “A lot of what you do on Facebook is hanging out. That does not lend itself to the monetization question.�?\nTo contact the reporters on this story: Lee Spears in New York at lspears3@bloomberg.net; Sarah Frier in New York at sfrier1@bloomberg.net\nTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Jennifer Sondag at jsondag@bloomberg.net\nPlease enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.", "url": "http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-17/facebook-raises-16-billion-in-biggest-technology-ipo-on-record.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20120519070321/http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-17/facebook-raises-16-billion-in-biggest-technology-ipo-on-record.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Facebook, Inc. stock price", "text": "Save my stocks for next time\nEdit Symbol List\nEnter up to 25 symbols separated by commas or spaces in the text box below.

The “S” suffix in the new iPhone model stands for “speed”, and the device will be available in the UK on June 19.\nPhil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide product marketing at Apple, told delegates at the WWDC conference in San Francisco: “People expect a great phone with a great user experience. This is it. The iPhone 3GS is a really fast phone.”\nThe iPhone 3GS features an improved three-megapixel camera, as well as the ability to record video, which can be instantly shared to YouTube. Users will also be able to give their iPhone voice commands, telling it to dial a friend, or play a certain song. Users will be able to ask what song is playing, and the iPhone will read the song information aloud.\nIt will be available in 16GB and 32GB models, with prices starting at $199. Apple will continue to sell the 8GB iPhone 3G at a reduced price of $99.\nApple also unveiled more details of the new iPhone 3.0 software which will come with the iPhone 3GS, and be available as a free download to existing iPhone users.\nThe update, which will be available on June 17, brings copy and paste to the iPhone, as well as the ability to search for photos, emails and documents across the whole device.\nIt adds turn-by-turn directions to Google Maps, enabling the iPhone to be used as a sat nav device, and push-notifications, so users can be alerted whenever they receive a new instant message. It also means certain applications, such as sports applications, can instantly alert users whenever a goal is scored.\nUsers of the iPhone and iPod touch will also be able to download movies, television shows and audiobooks directly to their device from the iTunes store, and Apple has introduced parental controls to ensure youngsters cannot access inappropriate content.\nOne of the best new features is Find My iPhone, a new tracking service that allows iPhone owners to pinpoint the location of lost or stolen handsets, and even to remotely wipe their device.\nThe Find MyiPhone program enables iPhone owners to log on to any computer to find their lost or stolen iPhone. They can send a message to the iPhone so that it makes a “homing” noise, either to attract the attention of passers-by if it was dropped in the street, or make it easier to find which room at home the iPhone has been left in.\nIf the iPhone has been stolen, owners can remotely wipe the device via their computer to ensure thieves do not have access to their personal data.\nApple also announced improvements to its range of notebook computers, adding more memory and faster processors to the 15in MacBook Pro and introducing a new 13in MacBook Pro. Both laptops will boast up to seven hours of battery life, and an SD card slot, so that people can pop their memory card out of their digital camera and straight in to their computer to start editing and sharing photos.\nThe company also unveiled new details of its next-generation computer operating system, Snow Leopard. The software will take up 6GB less hard disk space than Apple’s current operating system, Leopard, and also features enhanced tools to make it quicker and easier for users to write emails, share videos, edit photos, and find important documents.", "url": "http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/apple/5479732/Apple-launches-iPhone-3GS-at-WWDC.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090612091546/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/apple/5479732/Apple-launches-iPhone-3GS-at-WWDC.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "iPhone 3GS Complete Feature Guide", "text": "As expected, the new Apple iPhone 3GS is out. We were right: The photos of the new iPhone were real. Here you have a comprehensive guide to the iPhone 3GS' new features:\nSpeed\nThe \"S\" stands for \"SPEED!\" And according to Apple, it is faster launching applications or rendering Web pages.\n• The iPhone 3GS has a new processor built-in. Apple claims that it is up to two times faster than the previous generation: Launching messages is 2.1 faster, load the NY Times in Safari: 2.9 times faster. It also consumes less, which has an impact on the improved battery life.\nCamera\nThis is one of the strong points of the iPhone 3GS, according to Apple. They increased the resolution to 3 megapixels, which—judging from the shots they showed-seems much better quality under all conditions.\n• 3 Megapixels sensor.\n• New camera, with auto focus, auto exposure, and auto white balance.\n• You can also tap to focus, changing white balance in the process. That is really neat, if you ask me.\n• Special macro and low light modes.\n• The camera also supports photo and video geotagging.\n• Any application can access all the camera functions now.\n• It supports video, 30 frames per second VGA with auto focus, auto white balance, and auto exposure.\n• You can trim the video shot just using your finger, then share it via MMS, email, MobileMe and YouTube.\nConnectivity\nThe other part of the \"S\" is the support for the faster 7.2 Mbps 3G standard, which in theory will deliver data faster to your iPhone.\n• Three band UMTS/HSDPA.\n• Four band GSM/EDGE.\n• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g.\n• Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR\nGraphics\n• The new iPhone 3GS includes new 3D graphics support in hardware. This means faster and more complicated 3D games.\n• Same 3.5-inch widescreen multitouch display, but this time it has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. I wonder if it will withstand a full frontal Shake Shack burger attack.\nDesign\n• Same design as before, including the glossy finish of the back (so much for all the rumors about the matte back.)\n• Same size as the old iPhone 3G: 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.48 inches.\n• The weight increases a bit: One ounce to 4.8 ounces (135 grams vs 133 grams).\n• Greener materials: Arsenic-free glass, BDF-free, Mercury-free LCD.\nNew special features\n• It has a magnetometer, which works with a Compass application, third parties, and it is integrated into the new Google maps app, showing your orientation with a small semitransparent cone.\n• Voice control. You can now talk with your iPhone, Enterprise-style. You can instruct it to play similar songs to the one you are playing, or call people.\n• Nike + support built in.\n• Supports accessibility features, like zooming on text, inverting video, and voice over when you touch whatever text is on screen.\nBattery life\n• One of the more important new features is the increased battery life.\n• According to Apple, you will get up to 12 hours of talk time on 2G and 5 on 3G, with a up to 300 hour standby time.\n• On 3G, it will deliver 5 hours of internet use.\n• On Wi-Fi, Internet goes up to 9 hours.\n• Video playback is 10 hours vs 30 hours for audio.\nPrice and availability\n• $199 for 16GB version.\n• $299 for 32GB version.\n• Available on June 19th.\nIf you are \"a valued AT&T; customer,\" AT&T; offers an \"early iPhone upgrade with a new 2-yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee.\" The price? $399.00 for the 16GB iPhone 3G S and $499.00 for the 32GB iPhone 3G S. It gets worse: For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T; customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB).\nInsane.

But the phone comes packed with new features inside, according to CNET reporter Erica Ogg, who blogged live from the event.\nOgg says the 3GS has a new camera that shoots video and zooms.

Watch Wired.com's Dylan Tweney on Apple's big announcement »\nApple also said it has dropped the price of the current iPhone 3G to $99 ahead of the release of the 3GS. The $99 model features 8 gigabytes of storage.\nThe announcements came at Apple's much-anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, California. The annual event was attended by 5,000 Apple tech developers, Fortune reports.\nWWDC, as the conference is called, is known for its innovative announcements. Apple appeared to meet expectations of many tech bloggers, who had been awaiting a new iPhone model.\nPerhaps the only disappointment was that Apple CEO Steve Jobs did not make an appearance on stage. There had been speculation online that the popular tech figure would make a cameo at the event. Jobs has been on medical leave since January.\nApple also discussed a new iPhone operating system, version 3.0, which adds a cut-copy-paste feature to current iPhones. Apple said the new software adds 100 new features.\nOne of those getting the most buzz was the Find My iPhone feature, which will be available only for customers of Mobile Me, an Apple service that lets users sync e-mail and other data between computers and iPhones.\nIf you lose your phone, Mobile Me will display a Google Map that shows where your iPhone is, as long as it's turned on. You can then send a message to the phone, and it will sound an alarm, alerting nearby people to save it for you. If you think you've lost the phone permanently, you can remotely wipe all your data; if you find your missing phone later, you can plug it into iTunes and restore all your data.\nNew iPhone applications were also discussed. Apple has gotten widespread praise for the fact that independent developers can create programs for the iPhone.\nRead blogs from CNET and Fortune for details on the latest iPhone apps and other news from Monday's event.\nApple's laptops and computer operating systems were also discussed Monday.\nApple Senior Vice President Bertrand Serlet took the stage to demonstrate the company's newest operating system, called Snow Leopard. It will hit stores in September, although a \"near-final\" version was made available for developers Monday.\nSerlet also said that Apple's Safari 4 browser, which was released in beta in February, will ship Monday.\nApple marketing head Philip Schiller also unveiled a new version of a 15-inch MacBook Pro, which he said will feature up to seven hours of battery life. The unibody aluminum laptop boasts a new battery that can handle 1,000 recharges and should last five years before its life begins to diminish, he said.\nPhones remained the focus of the event, however.\nApple's phones are the second-best-selling consumer smartphones in the U.S., according to the NPD Group, an online market-research firm.\nSmartphones are a category of mobile phones that act kind of like personal computers, allowing people to surf the Internet, share photos and keep up with e-mail while on the move. About a quarter of all consumer phones sold from January to April of this year were smartphones, NPD says.\nThe iPhone faces new competition from the Palm Pre, a smartphone that debuted Friday and claims to combine Apple's popular touch screen with a more functional keyboard, like the one found on a popular business-class smartphone, the BlackBerry.\nCNN's Brandon Griggs contributed to this report.\nAll About Apple iPhone", "url": "http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/06/08/apple.iphone.wwdc/index.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210318063317/http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/06/08/apple.iphone.wwdc/index.html" } ]

But the source said they did not contain any sensitive financial information.\n\"They were not market sensitive; they were not anything that could move markets,\" said the source.\nShortly after the news conference, in an interview broadcast on the Quebec television station TVA, Couillard said in mid-April the minister had left a government document at her Laval, Que., home during a routine visit.\nShe would not elaborate on the contents of the document but said, in French, it \"was clear that the documents were not for her.\"\nCouillard said she had been advised by legal experts to return the documents to the government and that after hearing that she returned them to Foreign Affairs.\nDuring the interview Couillard said Bernier was aware in the midst of the public furore of their relationship that he had left the document behind at her home, but he had not called to retrieve it because they had stopped communicating.\n\"He isn't without knowledge of it, he's the one who left it at my place. He knows. But we haven't talked again since that event,\" she told the interviewer.\nAlso during the interview Couillard said experts examined her home and determined her home was under surveillance and the activities within the four walls were being tape recorded. She said she had her home checked after her burglar alarm behaved oddly and she was told a microphone had been placed in the boxspring of her bed.\n\"They didn't find any taperecorder but they found places where a microphone had been in the boxspring of my bed,\" she said, recounting how the electronic eavesdropping experts had shown her the staple marks and the tear left in her boxspring.\nThe allegation, if true, is bound to raise profound questions, including: was her residence bugged before or after her association with Bernier became known, and who placed the surveillance device .\nAt the Parliament Hill news conference, Harper said the minister's decision to resign came Monday afternoon after he realized he had left classified government documents in an insecure area.\n\"It is a very severe mistake for any minister,\" Harper told reporters outside the House of Commons during the conference - just hours before he was to fly to western Europe for a four-country trip. \"The minister had immediately acknowledged the gravity of his mistake.\"\nOpposition critics immediately pounced on the prime minister for leaving questions unanswered about the affair, and for expressing confidence in Bernier just hours earlier.\nThey had been calling for Bernier's resignation for weeks over a string of gaffes as well as questions about his former girlfriend's associations with Quebec biker gangs.\nAccording to a statement by the prime minister, Bernier became aware of the problem Sunday night and he tendered his resignation Monday afternoon.\nHarper said it was at that point he became aware of the \"security breach.\"\n\"The prime minister has been very dismissive of this situation for at least three weeks now,\" said Liberal House leader Ralph Goodale. \"The prime minister has been proven to be incorrect. That raises some question about his judgment.\"\nGoodale said Bernier has embarrassed Canada on the international stage.\nNDP Leader Jack Layton said Bernier's departure raises even more questions about the circumstances surrounding his conduct in the foreign affairs portfolio.\n\"This was clearly the straw that broke the camel's back on a series of incompetencies,\" said Layton. \"We have the bungle in Burma, we have all kinds of confusion around the governor of Kandahar, we've had the leak on trade deal that affected the U.S. presidency. It's been one thing after another.\"\nInternational Trade Minister David Emerson has assumed responsibility for foreign affairs.\nThe prime minister would not reveal any details about what the classified documents were about or where they were left.\nHe also did not mention who may have had contact with the classified information.\n\"This is a grave mistake. We're always expecting from the ministers to keep secret classified documents, government documents,\" Harper said, adding that this is a warning to all ministers.\nHe refuted any suggestions that Bernier's resignation had anything to do with Couillard.\n\"This is not to do with the minister's private life,\" Harper said. \"I'm very disappointed. I'm very disappointed for the government, disappointed for Maxime. It is very unfortunate.\"\nDuring the TVA interview, Couillard discussed how she had met Bernier and how the relationship \"fairly rapidly\" became intimate.\nAt one point, when he asked her to be his girlfriend, Bernier told her if she accepted she would have to be his girlfriend for at least a year because in his position he couldn't change girlfriends the way you change shirts.\nHowever, she denied ever asking to be present at any government meeting or ever suggesting changes to any of his speeches.\nCouillard recounted how she participated in private dinners with Harper and his wife and traveled with Bernier on official trips to Paris and to the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City. It was at that meeting that she got to meet U.S. President George W. Bush at a reception Bush organized at the posh Waldorf Astoria Hotel and caught his eye.\n\"Well, well, well,\" Bush told Bernier, she recalled. \"Haven't you been keeping good company\"\nCouillard said it was fun meeting Bush but it wasn't worth the grief that she has suffered as a result of the media circus that descended on her after it was revealed that she had past connections to members of the Rockers biker gang.\nNow, all she wants to do is pick up the pieces of her career and her life and put it all behind her.\nEarlier Monday the government faced calls for tighter rules surrounding sensitive contracts following the revelation that Bernier's former girlfriend was part of a bid for an airport security contract, only a few years after being married to a member of a biker gang.\n\"This is about the possibility . . . of a link between organized crime and airport security in Montreal and the possibility of improper bidding for contracts relating to security,\" Deputy Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff told reporters. \"I don't care about her skirts, I don't care about her cleavage, I don't care about her past, I don't care about any of it, it is none of my business quite rightly. But this (security) stuff is not only my business, it is the business of all Canadians.\"\nSerge Menard, a former Quebec justice and public security minister who is now a Bloc Quebecois MP, echoed Ignatieff's concern about Couillard's involvement in a bid for a security contract at Montreal's airport.\nMenard said the Hells Angels have been known to place people in strategic positions and infiltrate organizations to further their illegal activities\n\"Even if she hasn't committed any infraction, she is a person who could represent a security risk,\" said Menard.\nThose comments came after Le Devoir reported Monday that Couillard, a registered real estate agent, also owns her own security firm and played an active role in a bid by a company owned by a former boyfriend to get a security contract from the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority.\nWhile Robert Pepin's company, Agence d'investigations et de securite D.R.P, didn't get the 2004 contract, the company did have access to the information on security at Trudeau International Airport that was provided to those bidding on the contract.\nPepin, who split up with Couillard in 2005 and later committed suicide, is reported to have owed a large amount of money to a Hells Angels loan shark and had received threats in connection with the debt.\nIn February 2005, as her relationship with Pepin was breaking up, Couillard set up her own security company, Itek Global Solutions.\nCouillard was thrust into the headlines earlier this month when it was revealed that she was once married to a member of a Quebec biker gang in the late 1990's and dated another biker before that. At one point she was arrested in a raid carried out by the Wolverine squad investigating motorcycle gangs but was released without charges after being questioned.\n© Canwest News Service 2008", "url": "http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=d19baf08-9e5a-42ca-af4d-9f5bb8a8249f", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080530140030/http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=d19baf08-9e5a-42ca-af4d-9f5bb8a8249f" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Bernier quits cabinet post over security breach", "text": "Bernier quits cabinet post over security breach Foreign affairs minister departs ahead of ex-girlfriend's TV interview\nEmbattled Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier has resigned from cabinet over a security breach involving classified documents, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters on Monday.\nPrime Minister Stephen Harper announces Monday that he has accepted the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier. (Fred Chartrand/Canadian Press)The resignation came ahead of Monday night's airing of a French-language television interview of Bernier's former girlfriend, Julie Couillard, in which she revealed the minister had left a secret document in her apartment sometime in April that she later returned to Foreign Affairs.\n\"Maxime came to my house, and the document stayed there,\" Couillard said during her interview with private television network TVA, without disclosing the contents of the document.\nHarper said he accepted Bernier's resignation after learning Monday that Bernier had inadvertently left the documents in an unsecured location.\n\"It's only this error. It's a very serious error for any minister,\" Harper said. \"The minister immediately recognized the gravity of that error.\"\nThe prime minister staunchly defended Bernier in recent weeks after he came under fire for his involvement with Couillard, who has been linked to the criminal biker underworld.\n\"Let me be clear: This is not to do with the minister's private life,\" Harper said Monday. \"What matters here is that rules respecting government classified documents were broken. Obviously it was not done on purpose … but it was clearly done and it has to be treated appropriately.\"\nHarper has asked Trade Minister David Emerson to assume the foreign affairs portfolio on an interim basis, while Heritage Minister Josée Verner will handle the Ministry of La Francophonie, which was also held by Bernier.\nBernier, 45, was elected to the House of Commons in January 2006 to represent the Quebec riding of Beauce and previously served as minister of industry in Harper's cabinet.\nPM 'has a lot of explaining to do': Goodale\nBernier has also been in a weakened position in recent weeks since a gaffe in April during a visit to Afghanistan, where he publicly suggested the removal of the governor of Kandahar.\nForeign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier responds to a question during question period in the House of Commons in Ottawa on Wednesday.

But it turned out that Canada had no aircraft of this kind available, and Ottawa had to spend almost $1 million to rent an aircraft to make good on Bernier's promise.\nEarlier this year, there were calls for his resignation after he set back Canada's efforts in Afghanistan by telling reporters during a scrum there that Asadullah Khalid, the governor of Kandahar province, needed to be replaced.\nBut Harper said Bernier had resigned only because of the issue of the security of cabinet documents.\n\"This is about one thing and that is a failure to uphold expected standards on government documents.\"\nOpposition MPs demanded that the government launch an investigation of the extent of security breaches committed by Bernier.\nCouillard said in the interview broadcast later Monday that Bernier left a government document behind in her apartment after a visit in mid-April.\nShe would not comment on the nature of the document except to say that it was addressed to Bernier and not to her.\n“Maxime came to see me and he left a document behind,” she said, explaining the document was left by accident.\nThe interview with the French-language TVA network had been taped Sunday.\nCouillard said when she found the document she contacted a lawyer for advice, who told her it was the property of the Canadian government.\n“The document was given back,” she said.\nShe insisted she was doing the interview to re-establish her dignity and credibility after intense media scrutiny following reports she had links to Quebec bikers.\nThe former model said she had never done anything wrong and never been convicted of any crime.\n“I’ve never been accused of any criminal wrongdoing,” she said in an English-language version of the TVA interview broadcast on Canoe.ca, and denied that a man she used to live with was a biker.\n“I am definitely not a biker’s chick,” she said.\nCouillard, 38, first started dated Bernier in the summer 2007.\nThey reportedly vacationed together in the Caribbean in 2007 and she was seen with him in February at an Ottawa gala.\nCouillard lived with Gilles Giguere, a well-known Montreal crime figure for three years beginning in 1993. He was gunned down in 1996 when he decided to become a police informer after being arrested with a cache of submachine-guns and marijuana.\nIn 1997, she began dating and later married Stephane Sirois, who admitted to being an enforcer for the Rockers, a Hells Angels puppet club. He later turned informant and testified against a dozen of his former colleagues in a 2002 trial.\nCouillard and Sirois divorced in 1999.\nCouillard insisted that Giguere only knew Bob Savard, who knew Hells Angels kingpin Maurice (Mom) Boucher.\n“He was friends with Mr. Savard and Mr. Savard knew Maurice Boucher but both of them were not bikers.”\nGiguere was found murdered in a ditch after he became a police informant in 1996. Robert (Bob) Savard has been identified as a lieutenant to then-Hells boss Boucher.\nShe acknowledged husband Sirois was a biker when she met him but he left the gang at her insistence.\nShe said she told Bernier about her involvement with Giguere and Sirois shortly after she began dating him in the summer of 2007.\n“Maxime knew about it,” she said, noting he did not press her on the matter but seemed somewhat surprised.\nDuring the interview, Couillard talked about having tea with the wife of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and meeting U.S. President George W. Bush at a meeting of the United Nations general assembly.\nShe said Bush approached Bernier and her in a corridor and, glancing at her, jovially told Bernier, “Well, well, well, haven’t you been keeping good company.”\nwith files from The Canadian Press", "url": "http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/431201", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080528223524/http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/431201" } ]

Plus sérieusement nous sommes assez songeurs sur l'impartialité des ces 'assistants' qui officieront à des niveaux inférieurs.\nMAULS : Les joueurs en défense peuvent effondrer le maul. Les joueurs n’ont plus la nécessité d’avoir la tête et les épaules au dessus des hanches lors d’un maul.\nNotre Avis : On en parle depuis longtemps et là encore nous sommes assez septiques; Le maul était partie intégrante du rugby, certes peu spectaculaire pour le béotien mais apprécié des connaisseurs pour ses difficultés techniques. C'est la deuxième mort des gros packs ! Le maul servait aussi à regrouper les défenses et créer des espaces; Enfin c'est une prime à la défense au détriment de celui qui construit le jeu.\nMELEES ORDONNEES : La ligne de hors-jeu pour les non participants à la mêlée, hormis pour les demi de mêlée, se situe à 5 mètres derrière les pieds du partenaire le plus en arrière de la mêlée. Le demi de mêlée doit se tenir proche de la mêlée, s’il s’en éloigne il doit reculer à 5 mètres et y rester.\nNotre Avis : A priori une bonne règle puisqu'elle va créer des espaces et dynamiser le jeu qui en manquait parfois.\nTERRAIN DE JEU : Les poteaux de coin et les poteaux d’angle de touche de but et de ballon mort ne sont pas en touche de but. Lorsqu’un joueur est en possession du ballon et touche un poteau de coin, il n’est pas en touche de but, sauf si le ballon est en contact avec le poteau et avec le sol.\nNotre Avis : Si ça leur fait plaisir !.\nTOUCHE ET LANCER EN TOUCHE :\n- Lorsqu’un joueur capte le ballon à l’extérieur de ses 22 mètres et le passe, le projette ou le porte à l’intérieur de ses 22 mètres, et que celui-ci est botté directement en touche, la touche s’effectue en face de l’endroit où le ballon a été botté.\n- Lors d’une remise en jeu rapide, le ballon peut être lancé soit droit (perpendiculairement à la ligne de touche), soit en arrière (en direction de la ligne de but du lanceur), mais pas en avant (en direction de la ligne de but adverse).\n- Il n’y a pas de limite supérieure au nombre de participants d’un alignement, le minimum étant de 2 par équipe.\n- Le relayeur doit se tenir à 2 mètres de la ligne de remise en jeu.\n- Le vis à vis du lanceur n’est pas obligé de se tenir entre la ligne des 5 mètres et la ligne de touche. Il devra néanmoins respecter les règles du jeu.\n- Les soutiens peuvent agripper le sauteur avant le lancer.\n- Les soutiens peuvent soulever le sauteur.\nNotre Avis : Une série de règles visant à accélérer le jeu et à légaliser ce qui se fait déjà... très bien!\nLes règles appliquées dans certaines compétitions\nSANCTIONS : Pour toutes les fautes autres que les hors-jeu, les entrées latérales sur plaquage et les infractions à la règle 10 - jeu déloyal, la sanction est un Coup de Pied Franc.\nNotre Avis : A priori une bonne règle puisqu'elle va accélérer le jeu; le risque c'est qu'elle soit dénaturée par les défenses qui vont multiplier certaines fautes désormais moins sanctionnées.\nPLAQUAGE : Lorsque le ballon devient injouable lors d’un plaquage, l’équipe ne l’ayant pas mis en contact avec le sol bénéficie d’un Coup de Pied Franc.\nNotre Avis : Même chose, a priori une bonne règle puisqu'elle mais qui pourrait être dénaturée par les défenses.\nA.D.\nA plat Par conversation Emboîté Les + anciens en premier Les + récents en premier Les commentaires appartiennent à leurs auteurs.

Après deux ans de tests dans divers championnat (et notamment cette saison lors du Super 14), l'IRB a décidé de passer la vitesse supérieure. \"La décision du conseil d'entreprendre un essai global des règles expérimentales représente une étape importante pour l'avenir de ce jeu\", a déclaré le nouveau président de l'IRB Bernard Lapasset.\nLe Top 14 version 2008/2009 devra donc faire avec certaines nouvelles règles. Un attaquant pourra aplatir sur les poteaux de coin. Il sera impossible pour une équipe de dégager directement en touche même depuis ses 22 mètres si c'est elle qui a fait rentrer le ballon dans cette zone. Les défenseurs pourront défendre en écroulant les mauls. Lors d'une mêlée, les défenseurs devront se placer cinq mètres derrière celle-ci.

C'est particulièrement vrai pour ce qui concerne les sanctions qui n'ont pas encore étaient essayées dans l'hémisphère Nord mais qui ont été reçues favorablement par les joueurs et les entraîneurs qui jouent avec elles dans l'hémisphère sud\", a précisé l'ancien président de la FFR.", "url": "http://www.rugbyrama.fr/rugby/top-14/2007-2008/sport_sto1559502.shtml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080503085701/http://www.rugbyrama.fr/rugby/top-14/2007-2008/sport_sto1559502.shtml" } ]

El meta palentino, que ha militado en calidad de cedido en las filas del Submarino durante la campaña 2013-2014, pasará así a formar parte de forma definitiva al proyecto del Villarreal, con el que ya ha disputado 35 partidos.\nAunque nacido en Palencia, Sergio Asenjo Andrés (28 de junio de 1989) entró a formar parte de las categorías inferiores del Real Valladolid cuando apenas contaba con 15 años. Crecido en la cantera del conjunto pucelano, Asenjo debutó en Primera División en la temporada 2007-08 precisamente contra el Villarreal y cuando apenas superaba la mayoría de edad.

Er galt als physisch starker und technisch versierter Kreativverteidiger und entsprach damit den Vorstellungen seines neuen Trainers Rolf Kern: «Im modernen Unihockey werden spielstarke Verteidiger immer wichtiger.» In jener Zeit klopfte Niiranen auch bereits an die Tür der Nationalmannschaft und erlebte 2013 in Borås anlässlich der Finnkampen gegen Weltmeister Schweden seine Länderspiel-Premiere.\nObwohl ihn zwischenzeitlich eine langwierige Verletzung und ein Schicksalsschlag in seiner Familie zurückwarfen, wusste Niiranen in Winterthur die in ihn gesteckten Erwartungen vollauf zu erfüllen. Er akklimatisierte sich sehr schnell und tritt seither als cleverer Playmaker mit einem guten Auge für den Mitspieler und als laufstarke defensive Absicherung einer der drei Formation auf, ohne dass er dabei auf seinen Tordrang verzichten müsste. Die Statistik zeigt es: In nunmehr 91 Spielen für den HCR verbuchte er 86 Skorerpunkte (38 Tore und 48 Assists). Ein mehr als nur ordentlicher Wert für einen Verteidiger.\nGut integriert\nDass Niiranen seit seinem Debüt nichts mehr von den Verantwortlichen des finnischen Nationalteams gehört hat, schmälert seine Leistungen nicht und ficht ihn auch nicht an. Selbstverständlich würde er bei einem Aufgebot ernsthaft darüber nachdenken, erklärt er überzeugt, aber eigentlich passe der grosse zusätzliche Aufwand nicht zu seinem derzeitigen Lebensentwurf. Die Freundin, mit der er vor Kurzem zusammengezogen ist, und die gemeinsame berufliche Einbindung im Betrieb des früheren HCR-Spielers John Argüello sind ihm zu wichtig, als dass er daran etwas zu ändern hoffte. Sein in Finnland begonnenes Mathematik-Studium weiterzuführen, scheint momentan keine Priorität zu geniessen.\nSportchef Patrick Albrecht freut sich darüber, dass Niiranen eine fünfte Saison beim HCR folgen lassen wird: «Er ist ein Zweiwegverteidiger modernen Zuschnitts, sprich ein sehr guter Verteidiger, der auch immer wieder offensive Akzente setzt.» Niiranen sei aber nicht zuletzt auch ein «Super-Typ», einer, der sich mit seiner unprätentiösen, sympathischen Art grosser Beliebtheit im Verein erfreut. Was sein Trainer neben anderem ganz besonders am smarten Finnen schätzt, ist, dass «er sehr verlässlich ist, sprich einer ohne grosse Wellenbewegungen in seinen Leistungen.» Eine wichtige Eigenschaft, wenn es um die Jagd nach Trophäen geht.", "url": "http://unihockey.ch/meisterschaft/sml-mnner/news/niiranen-bleibt-beim-hcr-18352/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200513220625/http://unihockey.ch/meisterschaft/sml-mnner/news/niiranen-bleibt-beim-hcr-18352/" } ]

Un giro interesante. Consultado por Perfil.com, el economista Eduardo Curia aseguró que \"desde hace unos días hay un giro interesante en el Gobierno en su percepción del reto que genera la crisis mundial\". \"En líneas generales, me parece que el Gobierno está avanzando en asumir la crisis con más rigor al dar mayor amplitud a las medidas. Claro que está en camino, ya que llega un poco demorado y entonces es una carrera contrarreloj\", dijo Curia. Fuente habitual de consulta del ministro de Planificacion, Julio De Vido, Curia destacó la baja en las retenciones. \"La posibilidad de bajar las retenciones es, por lo menos, un paso adelante\", dijo en torno al recorte del 5 por ciento en las alícuotas a la exportación de granos (excepto la soja) que anunció Fernández de Kirchner. Desconocen la recesión. José Luis Espert, de la consultora macroeconómica Espert & Asociados, expresó a Perfil.com que las medidas \"desconocen por completo que Argentina hoy ya está en recesión, no por falta de políticas oficiales que den dinamismo a la producción y el consumo sino por una violenta fuga de capitales debido a que estamos cerca del default y por el robo a los afiliados de las AFJP\". \"A esto hay que sumarle el desplome del ingreso disponible de los argentinos por la caída de los precios de nuestros commodities y las cantidades exportadas por la recesión mundial. Lo que debería haberse anunciado es una política de congelamiento del gasto público, de salarios y devaluar más rápido para que el sector privado no se derrumbe y el desempleo no explote en 2009\", concluyó. El error de subir y también de bajar retenciones.\"Es razonable que se diga que el mundo nos complicó, pero demuestra el pésimo nivel de diágnostico previo que tiene el Gobierno\", recalcó a Perfil.com Martín Hourest, economista y legislador porteño del bloque Igualdad Social.\nPara el edil, está claro que el kirchnerismo apunta a sostener los niveles de consumo, que pasa por incentivar el crédito para bienes durables, pero explicó que hay una \"ausencia notable en la redistribución oportunidades\". Además, analizó que \"si los ciudadanos ven en que su continuidad laboral está en vilo, es difícil que compren algo\". Hourest se preguntó si en vez de tomar este tipo de medidas, que acarrean un costo fiscal, \"no sería mejor universalizar las prestaciones, sea cual sea la condición del beneficiado, dar un subsidio universal a la infancia\".\nSobre la baja de retenciones, dijo que \"el Gobierno siguen insistiendo sobre un sólo punto de la hoja de balance\" y tildó de \"raquítica\" la estrategia de abordaje de los problemas del campo. \"Sabemos que los que están matando a los productores son sus proveedores y sus compradores.

Given the Rudy-friendly itinerary, is there a chance the pontiff will grant an audience to Giuliani -- a lifelong Yankees fan known worldwide for his handling of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks?\nPapal experts say that while Giuliani would likely be invited along on Benedict's visit to Ground Zero, they disagree over whether he would be granted a private audience.\n\"I'm sure the pope would be happy to grant Giuliani an audience,\" said David Gibson, author of \"The Rule of Benedict,\" a biography of Pope Benedict XVI. \"If there was something at Ground Zero, I would be surprised if Giuliani were not there.\"\nBut Thomas Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University, said he doubted the pope would grant a tete-a-tete with the former mayor. Although Giuliani may appear at an event with other officials, \"The pope normally deals with current government leaders -- not past leaders,\" Reese said.\nIf Giuliani is still a presidential candidate come April -- the Republican nominee should be chosen by then -- a papal meeting would lend a bit of gravitas to his bid. Still, if Hizzoner engineers an audience with His Holiness, the visit could backfire. After all, Giuliani is a candidate for the presidency -- not the priesthood. Although he attended Catholic schools all his life, he's on his third marriage, has an estranged relationship with his children and holds liberal views on abortion and gay rights. Such a public meeting might remind voters of his less-than-saintly past.\n\"He's walking a tightrope,\" Gibson said of Giuliani. \"If he appears to look like an altar boy, it's not going to play very well.\"\nGiuliani sometimes jokes on the campaign trail about his lapsed faith, telling a Missouri audience Monday that winning the endorsement of conservative preacher Pat Robertson was like \"going to confession.\"\nIf Giuliani is still a candidate in April, the chances for a meeting are also less likely, said Gibson. \"He [the pope] does not want to appear partisan.\"\nGiuliani's campaign had no comment.\nMore articles\nCopyright © 2007, Newsday Inc.", "url": "http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/ny-usrudy1114,0,5877624.story", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071116203340/http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/ny-usrudy1114,0,5877624.story" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Pat Robertson endorses Giuliani", "text": "The televangelist says national security and federal spending worries should trump conservatives' concerns about the former New York mayor's support of abortion rights.\nRelated Stories - Giuliani embraces tough love\nWASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani on Wednesday received the endorsement of televangelist Pat Robertson, who said the former New York mayor's promises to appoint conservative judges and protect Americans \"from the blood lust of Islamic terrorists\" should trump conservatives' concerns about Giuliani's support of abortion rights.Robertson's endorsement of Giuliani came one day after another prominent social conservative, Paul M. Weyrich, endorsed rival presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), a social conservative who ended his own presidential bid earlier this fall, said Wednesday that he would back his Senate colleague John McCain of Arizona.Taken together, the endorsements suggested that abortion may not prove to be a top-tier issue in the wide-open Republican race, and that top evangelical figures would divide their support among multiple contenders. Social conservatives have demonstrated a willingness to eschew longtime abortion opponents such as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee to back candidates who either favor abortion rights, as Giuliani does, or who are recent converts to the antiabortion cause, as is Romney.Robertson said national security and concerns about federal spending should be top priorities. \"To me, the overriding issue before the American people is the defense of our population from the blood lust of Islamic terrorists,\" he said. \"Our second goal should be the control of massive government waste and crushing federal deficits.\"Giuliani, appearing with Robertson at the National Press Club, said: \"His confidence in me means a lot. His experience and advice will be a great asset to me and my campaign.\"Asked about Robertson's endorsement, Romney, who was campaigning in South Carolina, touted the support of other social conservatives, including Bob Jones III, former president of the Christian conservative Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C.\"I can't get all the social conservatives to endorse my candidacy,\" he told reporters. \"I'm really pleased with the support I've got.\"Both Giuliani and Romney had aggressively sought Robertson's backing, with phone calls and appearances at Regent University, an evangelical Christian institution in Virginia Beach, Va., founded by Robertson in 1978. Robertson had leaned in Giuliani's direction since the former mayor's Regent speech, telling his Christian Broadcasting Network that Giuliani had been \"a smash.\"The two men said they had become friends when they traveled together to Israel a few years ago. Aides suggested that Theodore B. Olson, a former solicitor general in the Bush administration and a leading conservative legal figure, had made the endorsement happen.Olson is an advisor to Giuliani's campaign, and he introduced Robertson at a news conference called Wednesday morning in Washington to announce the endorsement.In appealing to social conservatives, Giuliani has made a pledge -- one of his campaign's \"12 commitments\" -- to appoint \"strict constructionist\" judges who claim to interpret the Constitution in the manner that its framers intended.Robertson indicated Wednesday he had been won over by this pledge. Giuliani, Robertson said, \"understands the need for a conservative judiciary, and with the help of the distinguished Ted Olson, who is here today, and other members of his team, has assured the American people that his choices for judicial appointments will be men and women who share the judicial philosophy of [Chief Justice] John Roberts and [Justice] Antonin Scalia.\"Robertson ran for president in 1988 and remains a key figure in the conservative movement, in part through his television network. But his influence has been diminished somewhat by the rise of younger leaders and his reputation for making comments that draw widespread ridicule.In recent years, he has called then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke a form of divine punishment for \"dividing God's land,\" and has called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

And he's the one currently in possession of the poker.\nCunningham was called on to handle the mounting of the animal. He said they told him it was a giant, and, after laying eyes on the animal, he says they weren't exaggerating.\n“Biggest thing I'd ever seen,” he said. “ It's huge.”\nAccording to Mike Stone, Jamison's father, the hog weighed 1,051 pounds.\nIt was weighed at the Clay County Farmer's Exchange in Lineville. Workers at the co-op verified that the scales used, basic truck scales, were recently certified by the state. However, no workers from the co-op were present when the hog was weighed.\nStone, a Pickensville resident, said the hog was also measured two different ways. Suspended from rear hoof to snout, he was 10 feet, 7 inches. From snout to tail, it was just more than 9 feet.\nThe only measurements that can currently be verified — because the hog is in post-processing mode — are sizes of the hog from the shoulder up, the method that the Stones are using to preserve their trophy. Cunningham will have to use those measurements to create a form for the mount, as prefab mounts do not come that big.\nThe circumference of the hog's head (across the ears) is 54 inches.\nAround its shoulders, it's 74 inches.\nAnd the length of its snout — from its eyes to the end of its nose — is 11 inches.\n“I couldn't believe it,” Jamison said after he first saw it. “It was the size of a cow. It was huge.”\nPerhaps as astounding as the size of the hog was how the story got out — or didn't. The old adage of news traveling fast in a small town wasn't quite the case.\nDriving around the dusty backroads of the rural community of Delta, story of the monster pig wasn't widely known. Even in nearby Lineville, the picture that appeared on the front page of Tuesday's Anniston Star was the first many people had heard about it. But in cyberspace, the news has traveled a great deal faster. And let's just say people have gone hog wild.\nIn attempts to do something nice for his young son, Mike Stone created a Web site, www.monsterpig.com, to help show off his kill. He also created it to help cut down on the time of sending e-mail out to family and friends.\nHowever, the simple concept of the Web site has grown into much, much more.\nAt the site is a simple recount of the animal, its size and what was used to harvest the hog. It also includes pictures, a way to contact Jamison and some of the e-mails he received — good and bad.\nAccording to Stone, the host for the Web site (www.godaddy.com) said the number of requests — or hits — totaled 1,246,464 as of Monday.\nCalls have come all the way from California, where Jamison appeared on a radio talk show. According to Mike Stone and the Web site, Jamison has gotten words of congratulation from Rickey Medlocke of Lynyrd Skynyrd, country music star Kenny Chesney, Tom Knapp of Benelli firearms and Jerry Miculek of Smith & Wesson.\nThe hunt\nJust as it goes with skinning cats, there's more than one way to harvest a hog.\nSome track them with dogs. Some wait them out in tree stands, and others — braver ones — stalk-hunt the creatures.\nThe Stones, manned with guides Keith O'Neal and Chris Williams, chose the latter when purchasing the hunt from Eddy Borden of Lost Creek Plantation.\nIt wasn't Stone's first time hog hunting at the preserve. Not long before his son's harvest, he had taken a feral swine himself. At the time, he said he was quite proud of it.\n“It was about 600 pounds,” he said. “I thought it was massive at the time.”\nAfter using the stalk-hunting method, the weapon of choice was a modified .50-caliber pistol that had been modified with a holographic scope and a ported barrel to cut down on some its recoil. It was also packing a 350-grain Horaday bullet.\nThey ventured out and found the hog, and that's when the ordeal started.\nTo kill the massive beast, 16 shots were fired — all by Jamison. Approximately nine landed. They tracked — and sometimes were forced to avoid — the hog for more than three hours.\nJust how big again?\nThe elder Stone says all he really knew was it was a big pig. Just how big it was — with respect to records — he didn't know.\n“It was a pretty uneventful thing until the day after,” Mike Stone said. “I hadn't seen a lot of pigs up close. I didn't know it was a monster pig. I just knew it was a big as a cow.”\nIt wasn't until the day after the hunt when Stone received an e-mail from a friend informing him that, some time ago, Hogzilla had been found to be only 800 pounds (in a National Geographic documentary on the hog). Chris Griffin, who killed the Hogzilla, had said it was in excess of 1,000 pounds.\n“When all that happened, I looked over at my wife and said, 'This is a big deal,'” he said. “Hogzilla wasn't even as big as the one Jamison killed.”\nState records on feral swine are not kept by the Alabama Department of Conservation.\nAccording to biologists, pigs such as Hogzilla and this one are not the norm. Average free-roaming feral swine grow to modest sizes compared to this beast.\n“You might get a boar that weighs 300 or so,” said Dr. Jim Armstrong, Extension Wildlife Specialist and Associate Professor for Auburn University's School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences. “That's a big pig.”", "url": "http://www.monsterpig.com/news.htm", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070527082203/http://www.monsterpig.com/news.htm" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Alabama Boy Kills 1,051-Pound Monster Pig, Bigger Than 'Hogzilla'", "text": "An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog that just may be the biggest pig ever found.\nJamison Stone's father says the hog his son killed weighed a 1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.

I probably won't ever kill anything else that big.\"\nJamison, who killed his first deer at age 5, was hunting with father Mike Stone and two guides in east Alabama on May 3 when he bagged Hogzilla II. He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.\nThrough it all there was the fear that the animal would turn and charge them, as wild boars have a reputation of doing.\n\"I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited,\" said Jamison, who just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy, a small, private school.\nHis father said that, just to be extra safe, he and the guides had high-powered rifles aimed and ready to fire in case the beast with 5-inch tusks decided to charge.\nWith the pig finally dead in a creek bed on the 2,500-acre Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve in Delta, trees had to be cut down and a backhoe brought in to bring Jamison's prize out of the woods.\nIt was hauled on a truck to the Clay County Farmers Exchange in Lineville, where Jeff Kinder said they used his scale, which was recently calibrated, to weigh the hog.\nKinder, who didn't witness the weigh-in, said he was baffled to hear the reported weight of 1,051 pounds because his scale — an old, manual style with sliding weights — only measures to the nearest 10.\n\"I didn't quite understand that,\" he said.\nMike Stone said the scale balanced one notch past the 1,050-pound mark, and he thought it meant a weight of 1,051 pounds.\n\"It probably weighed 1,060 pounds.

Think hams as big as car tires.\nIf the claims are accurate, Jamison Stone's trophy boar would be bigger than Hogzilla, the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions after being killed in South Georgia in 2004.\nHogzilla originally was thought to weigh 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet long. National Geographic experts who unearthed its remains believe the animal actually weighed about 800 pounds and was 8 feet long.\nRegardless of the comparison, Jamison is reveling in the attention over his pig.\n\"It feels really good,\" Jamison said. \"It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big.\"\nJamison, who killed his first deer at age 5, was hunting with father Mike Stone and two guides in east Alabama on May 3 when he bagged Monster Pig. He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.\nThrough it all, there was the fear that the animal would turn and charge them, as wild boars have a reputation for doing.\n\"I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited,\" said Jamison, who lives in Pickensville on the Mississippi border. He just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy, a small, private school.\nHis father said that, just to be extra safe, he and the guides had high-powered rifles aimed and ready to fire in case the beast, with 5-inch tusks, decided to charge.\nWith the animal finally dead in a creek bed on the 2,500-acre Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve in Delta, trees had to be cut down and a backhoe brought in to bring Jamison's prize out of the woods.\nIt was hauled on a truck to the Clay County Farmers Exchange in Lineville, where Jeff Kinder said they used his scale, recently calibrated, to weigh the hog.\nKinder's scale measures only to the nearest 10, but Mike Stone said it balanced one notch past the 1,050-pound mark.\n\"It probably weighed 1,060 pounds. We were just afraid to change it once the story was out,\" he said.\nThe hog's head is being mounted by Jerry Cunningham of Jerry's Taxidermy. Cunningham said the animal measured 54 inches around the head, 74 inches around the shoulders and 11 inches from the eyes to the end of its snout.\n\"It's huge,\" he said. \"It's just the biggest thing I've ever seen.\"\nMike Stone is having sausage made from the rest of the animal. \"We'll probably get 500 to 700 pounds,\" he said.\nJamison, meanwhile, has been offered a small part in \"The Legend of Hogzilla,\" a small-time horror flick based on the tale of the Georgia boar. The movie is holding casting calls with plans to begin filming in Georgia.\nJamison is enjoying the newfound celebrity generated by the hog hunt, but he said he prefers hunting pheasants to monster pigs: \"They are a little less dangerous.\"\nCopyright 2007 The Associated Press.

And it's looking to drones to help it bring its vision to fruition. On Friday, the group announced the Defikopter, a concept device it designed with drone-maker Height Tech to fly defibrillators to emergency responders or the public by way of a GPS-enabled smartphone app.\nDefinetz says the Defikopter, which was developed over the last three months, can travel within a radius of 10 kilometers (about six miles), and fly at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour (about 43 miles per hour). While Definetz and Height Tech have announced their collaborative design, neither organization said if or when the Defikopter would be made available for sale, or when and if the corresponding smartphone app would be released to the public.\nThere are, of course, a few drawbacks to the drone concept. If built, the drone hardware would sell for about $26,000, according to the Mittelbayerische news site. Additionally, if the Defikopter and its app are made available, the Defikopter can only be hailed by someone who is with a heart attack victim and already has the app downloaded downloaded on their phone. The drone also can't run without supervision — the Die Glocke newspaper reports that German law requires that unmanned flying vehicles can only be flown if monitored by a human being.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Lawsuit: Amazon Kindle Ate My Homework", "text": "An Orwellian gaffe involving the Kindle e-book reader just won’t go down the memory hole for Amazon.com.\nKamberEdelson Justin Gawronski\nOn Thursday, a Chicago-based law firm filed a suit in federal court in Seattle against Amazon on behalf of Justin D. Gawronski, a 17-year-old Michigan high school senior. The suit, which seeks class-action status, claims that when the company wirelessly deleted a copy of George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” from Gawronski’s Kindle earlier this month, it also deleted the notes he had taken on the device for his homework.\nThe suit, which cites another plaintiff who also lost his copy of the Orwell classic, seeks to prevent Amazon from again deleting books from Kindles. It also seeks monetary relief for people like Gawronski who lost work from the incident.\nAmazon declined comment on the suit. The company, which refunded the purchase price of Orwell books to people whose copies it deleted, has already said it would not do it again. Last week, the company’s CEO Jeff Bezos apologized for the incident, calling it “stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles.”\nGawronski, a member of his high school’s debate team, says he got a Kindle earlier this summer because he knew he’d be reading a lot of books for his Advanced Placement English class. “If there’s something that catches my eye as I am reading, I just place a note there” using the Kindle’s keyboard, he said. Those notes are useful, he said, because “every 100 pages we have to write a 1-page summary and reflection of everything that we read,” he said.\nBut on July 20, when Gawronski turned on his Kindle, he watched his copy of “Nineteen Eighty-Four” disappear right before his eyes. “It was a bit ironic,” he said.\nAmazon didn’t delete the file containing Gawronski’s notes on the Kindle device. But since the book text “no longer exists, all my notes refer back to nothing,” he said. “I can’t really use it for much.”\nWhen he e-mailed Amazon’s customer service department for help, he received a message from the company saying they were sorry, but there was a copyright issue with the original book.\nHe filed the lawsuit, he said, because he wants to “help set a precedent so that Amazon doesn’t do this again” and to help move the industry forward. “When you think that you own something and don’t own it – that’s not how it should be,” he said.\nHis lawyer, Jay Edelson, of the firm of KamberEdelson, said he doesn’t see “any ambiguity at all” in the terms of service that accompany Kindle purchases that would have allowed Amazon to delete and refund a purchase. “People are given license for life,” he said. “You start to wonder how many companies have the ability to remote change data or delete things.”\nThe suit seeks relief from the class of all people who own a Kindle. “All of those people need the injunctive relief to prevent Amazon from doing this in the future,” said Edelson. The law firm pledges to donate any proceeds from the litigation to charity.\nGawronski hasn’t yet told his English teacher about the incident. But he figures he’s going to have to read the book again to finish his assignment.", "url": "http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/07/30/lawsuit-amazon-ate-my-homework/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090731210750/http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/07/30/lawsuit-amazon-ate-my-homework/" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Amazon Erases Orwell Books From Kindle", "text": "In George Orwell’s “1984,” government censors erase all traces of news articles embarrassing to Big Brother by sending them down an incineration chute called the “memory hole.”\nOn Friday, it was “1984” and another Orwell book, “Animal Farm,” that were dropped down the memory hole — by Amazon.com.\nIn a move that angered customers and generated waves of online pique, Amazon remotely deleted some digital editions of the books from the Kindle devices of readers who had bought them.\nAn Amazon spokesman, Drew Herdener, said in an e-mail message that the books were added to the Kindle store by a company that did not have rights to them, using a self-service function. “When we were notified of this by the rights holder, we removed the illegal copies from our systems and from customers’ devices, and refunded customers,” he said.\nAmazon effectively acknowledged that the deletions were a bad idea. “We are changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers’ devices in these circumstances,” Mr. Herdener said.\nCustomers whose books were deleted indicated that MobileReference, a digital publisher, had sold them. An e-mail message to SoundTells, the company that owns MobileReference, was not immediately returned.\nDigital books bought for the Kindle are sent to it over a wireless network. Amazon can also use that network to synchronize electronic books between devices — and apparently to make them vanish.\nAn authorized digital edition of “1984” from its American publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, was still available on the Kindle store Friday night, but there was no such version of “Animal Farm.”\nPeople who bought the rescinded editions of the books reacted with indignation, while acknowledging the literary ironies involved. “Of all the books to recall,” said Charles Slater, an executive with a sheet-music retailer in Philadelphia, who bought the digital edition of “1984” for 99 cents last month. “I never imagined that Amazon actually had the right, the authority or even the ability to delete something that I had already purchased.”\nAntoine Bruguier, an engineer in Silicon Valley, said he had noticed that his digital copy of “1984” appeared to be a scan of a paper edition of the book. “If this Kindle breaks, I won’t buy a new one, that’s for sure,” he said.\nAmazon appears to have deleted other purchased e-books from Kindles recently. Customers commenting on Web forums reported the disappearance of digital editions of the Harry Potter books and the novels of Ayn Rand over similar issues.\nAmazon’s published terms of service agreement for the Kindle does not appear to give the company the right to delete purchases after they have been made. It says Amazon grants customers the right to keep a “permanent copy of the applicable digital content.”\nRetailers of physical goods cannot, of course, force their way into a customer’s home to take back a purchase, no matter how bootlegged it turns out to be. Yet Amazon appears to maintain a unique tether to the digital content it sells for the Kindle.\n“It illustrates how few rights you have when you buy an e-book from Amazon,” said Bruce Schneier, chief security technology officer for British Telecom and an expert on computer security and commerce. “As a Kindle owner, I’m frustrated. I can’t lend people books and I can’t sell books that I’ve already read, and now it turns out that I can’t even count on still having my books tomorrow.”\nJustin Gawronski, a 17-year-old from the Detroit area, was reading “1984” on his Kindle for a summer assignment and lost all his notes and annotations when the file vanished. “They didn’t just take a book back, they stole my work,” he said.\nOn the Internet, of course, there is no such thing as a memory hole. While the copyright on “1984” will not expire until 2044 in the United States, it has already expired in other countries, including Canada, Australia and Russia. Web sites in those countries offer digital copies of the book free to all comers.", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20131211021345/http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html?_r=5" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Highlights from the '1984' lawsuit against Amazon", "text": "« Firefox hits a billion | Main | FCC asks Apple, AT&T;, Google about App Store's rejection of Google Voice » Highlights from the '1984' lawsuit against Amazon 12:35 PM, July 31, 2009 \"Kindling.\" Credit: oskay / Flickr Justin Gawronski and Antoine J.

Amazon then refunded the purchase price to these consumers.\" -- \"Amazon never disclosed ... that it possessed the technological ability or right to remotely delete digital content purchased through the Kindle Store from Kindles or iPhones.\" -- \"As part of his studies of '1984,' Mr. Gawronski had made copious notes in the\nbook. After Amazon remotely deleted '1984,' those notes were rendered useless... ... because they no longer referenced the relevant parts of the book. The notes are still accessible on the Kindle 2 device in a file separate from the deleted book, but are of no value. For example, a note such as “remember this paragraph for your thesis” is useless if it does not actually reference a specific paragraph. By deleting '1984' from Mr. Gawronski’s Kindle 2, this is the position in which Amazon left him. Mr. Gawronski now needs to recreate all of his studies.\" -- \"On or about July 17, 2009, Mr. Bruguier contacted Amazon.com with the statement: 'I would like to keep the title 1984. I like this book.' On July 17, 2009 at 1:28 p.m., he received an email response to his comment from Amazon.com Customer Service, which stated in relevant part: “I understand that you’re upset, and I regret that we haven’t been able to address your concerns to your satisfaction.

The largest investment in Ireland was in Corvil Networks, a provider of a technology for measuring and controlling the bandwidth requirements of IP traffic flows. The company raised €15 million in a later stage round.\nIreland had a total of eight deals this quarter, down from ten deals in Q4 2004 and Q1 2004. As throughout 2004, Ireland retains its 7th place in the first quarter of 2005 for number of deals. In terms of amounts raised, Ireland has slipped down to 8th place, mainly due to increased venture capital activity in Denmark.\nIn Europe, venture capital investment increased by 19% to €880.3 million. Whilst the European investment figures are up on this period last year the deal flow in Europe has dropped to less than 200 deals, a 27%, decline\nGarry O’Rourke, Senior Manager, Ernst & Young Corporate Services Department, said: “These figures show that venture capitalists are directing their investments into those companies which seem to have the brightest future potential and in Ireland, specifically the IT sector. Across Europe, the fact that first-round deals are getting larger shows that VCs are optimistic about the growth potential of the current wave of new start-ups in Europe.”\nAccording to Steve Harmston, Director of International Research for Venture One, “We are seeing fewer deals but larger amounts invested in these deals. The overall median deal size in Europe reached its highest level in more than six years at €3 million, compared to €1.5 million in the same quarter of last year. Much of this increase can be attributed to larger investments in first round deals, where the median was €2.6 million, the highest amount since 1999 when Venture One began tracking the data.” The median size of later-round deals was €4 million, in comparison with €2 million in Q1 2004.\nBy industry, the amount invested into European information technology (IT) companies climbed upward, reaching a total of €407.3 million, an increase of 16% over this quarter a year ago. Gil Forer, global venture capital advisory group leader for Ernst & Young said: “While not reflected in the Irish figures for this quarter, the capital invested in the information-services segment nearly doubled from the first quarter of 2004 to reach €40 million. The majority of information-services companies are Internet-related, so the investment trend in this segment could indicate we are entering Internet 2.0 – with a resurgence of interest in online businesses.”\nThe 2004 trend of increased investment activity in seed and first-round deals declined this quarter. These deals represented one-third of the investments made in Q1 2004 and continued to grow throughout last year, but only represented 29% of the deal flow this quarter. They also accounted for only 20% of the capital invested, compared to 25% this quarter a year ago.

Le modèle d’éolienne a été dessiné pour que ses différentes pièces puissent s’emboîter « comme des poupées russes », et ainsi faciliter leur transport, selon Vestas.\nQuelque 200 kilomètres de piste ont été recouverts de tarmac, permettant de réduire drastiquement la durée du trajet. Plus de 2000 trajets ont finalement été nécessaires pour acheminer tout le matériel jusqu’au bord du lac Turkana, surnommé la « mer de Jade » pour ses célèbres reflets.\nCes éoliennes ont été spécialement conçues pour endurer les vents du « corridor du Turkana », formé par le relief et qui offre toute l’année des conditions de vent optimales. Au point d’être jusqu’à deux fois plus efficaces que pour des projets éoliens similaires en Europe et en Amérique.\n« C’est sans précédent, c’est un des endroits les plus venteux au monde, et ce de manière régulière », a décrit Rizwan Fazal, directeur exécutif du projet Lake Turkana Wind Power.\n« Signal fort »\nLe parc éolien a été achevé en mars 2017, mais n’a pu être connecté au réseau électrique kényan que 18 mois plus tard, en septembre 2018. En cause, des problèmes dans le financement de la ligne électrique ad hoc de 428 kilomètres, ainsi que pour l’acquisition de terrains pour la construire, des responsabilités incombant à l’Etat.\n« Le parc a été construit à temps, mais on ne peut opérer le projet que si on peut amener l’énergie au client », a souligné Catherine Collin, directrice pour l’Afrique de l’Est à la Banque européenne d’investissement.\nLe projet a bénéficié d’un prêt de 200 millions de dollars (178 millions d’euros) de l’Union européenne et du financement d’un consortium de sociétés européennes et africaines.\n« C’est clairement un jour historique », s’est lui réjoui Rizwan Fazal. « Cela envoie un signal fort au sujet du Kenya: nous sommes mûrs pour des projets de cette ampleur ».", "url": "https://www.jeuneafrique.com/805809/economie/le-kenya-inaugure-le-plus-grand-parc-eolien-dafrique/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20190720164611/https://www.jeuneafrique.com/805809/economie/le-kenya-inaugure-le-plus-grand-parc-eolien-dafrique/" } ]

Temporary Mayor Michael Brown will give his speech at noon Thursday in the City Council Chambers on the third floor of City Hall, 1101 S. Saginaw St.\nIt will be the city of Flint's first public forum with Brown, who will wrestle with the city's estimated $14-million deficit until a new mayor is elected in August. Brown took over the post Feb. 16 after former Mayor Don Williamson -- facing a recall election -- resigned.\nWithout any name calling or grandstanding, Brown's address will focus on setting a new tone in City Hall and highlight Flint's diamonds in the rough, said Bob Campbell, Brown's communications director.\nThe temporary mayor will look forward, rather than backward, and stress the importance of collaboration. Brown, a former vice president at the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce, specifically asked that invitations be extended to the business community.\n\"He's not just keeping the seat warm until someone else takes over,\" Campbell said.\n\"There are some difficult decisions ahead, most notably in the area of the city's finances. He's all about the revival and renewal of the city of Flint.\"\nCity Council members expect Brown's speech to be a study in contrasts following several years of showy addresses from former Mayor Don Williamson. In the past, city council members have withheld applause at Williamson speeches, illustrating a deep divide that led to lawsuits between the two branches of city government.\nUsually including lofty initiatives, Williamson's speeches contained much pomp and fanfare. Past proposals from his addresses include a 6.9-mill property tax increase (which didn't happen) and an anti-crime task force (which still exists).\n\"This speech will be more about what's actually going on in the city,\" Council President Jim Ananich said. \"Rather than pie-in-the-sky ideas, it will be based on what we have the resources to do.\"\nWhile Brown's speech will not lay out a specific plan to improve the city's finances, it will touch on several city departments --¬†such as the fire department and economic development team --¬†and the challenges they may be facing, Campbell said. The finance team is still evaluating the financial condition of the city and gearing up to craft a realistic budget for the next fiscal year, he said.\nAside from the city's looming deficit, City Councilman Delrico Loyd said he hopes Brown touches on the city's alarming foreclosure and crime rates. He would like to see more resources devoted to the police department, he said.\n\"The new mayor will be openly transparent about the real issues the city is facing,\" he said. \"He doesn't have anything politically to gain.\"\nSome other points that Brown will mention: noteworthy accomplishments in the city's higher education arena, boosting city employee morale, greater transparency and accountability and cooperation among the city, other local municipalities and businesses.\n\"Yes, the city is facing a number of challenges, yet at the same time there are a number of terrific assets that other communities would love to have,\" Campbell said.\nSee more in Community: Flint", "url": "http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2009/03/temporary_mayor_michael_brown_1.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090309105302/http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2009/03/temporary_mayor_michael_brown_1.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Candidates kicking off campaigns to be Flint's next mayor", "text": "Candidates kicking off campaigns to be Flint's next mayor\nby Linda Angelo | The Flint Journal Thursday February 26, 2009, 5:55 PM\nFLINT, Michigan -- The race is on to become Flint's next mayor as two candidates took action Thursday to jump-start their campaigns.\nCouncilman Sheldon Neeley submitted about 1,100 signatures at the City Clerk's Office, while Dayne Walling officially announced his candidacy at a \"Working for Change\" rally.\nNeeley, who arrived at the Clerk's Office with his wife, Cynthia, is the first person to return petitions.\n\"We're going to continue collecting signatures, but we want people to know we are serious about this,\" Neeley said.\nA few blocks away, about 70 people gathered inside the gym at the YMCA to learn more about Walling, who narrowly lost his first bid for mayor in 2007.\n\"This campaign is not about me or just about you, it's about us and what we can do together for this whole community of Flint,\" he said. \"The change we seek requires we overcome the division between the older and younger folks, between east and west sides of town, the north end and the south end.

In the running; • Darryl Buchanan, current deputy mayor and former city administrator, ombudsman and city council member • Sheldon Neeley, current city council member • Dayne Walling, ran unsuccessfully against Don Williamson in 2007 race Others have expressed interest in running include Genesee County Commissioner Brenda Clack, former County Commissioner Raynetta Speed, Councilman Scott Kincaid and political activist Eric Mays.\n\"Flint has seen many peaks and valleys,\" he said. \"We are in a valley unlike any other and we need leadership to guide us back to better times.\"\nBuchanan said the city's budget is the No. 1 number one issue facing Flint, although he didn't get into specifics as to how he would handle the problems.\nUnlike Williamson who frequently sparred with the Flint City Council, Buchanan said he has a good relationship with the council.\n\"There has been division, and I don't like it,\" he said.\nSupporter Christina Brown, 48, of Flint, has known Buchanan since childhood and believes he would be a fine mayor.\n\"He's smart, he has a master's degree and he has been in the administration,\" she said.\nFrances Gilcreast, president of the Flint branch of the NAACP, said Buchanan is qualified to run the city and \"understands the needs of the community.\"\nShe said Buchanan's previous positions within the city make him more than ready for the city's top job.\nBut not everyone thinks Buchanan's experience will help.\nResident Henry Bilal, who lives on the city's northside, said Buchanan is too closely connected with Williamson to be a viable candidate.\n\"It would be the same old policies the mayor had,\" Bilal said. \"I don't think he's shown any potential and he didn't show any leadership as city administrator.\"\nPolitical analyst Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, said Buchanan's alliance with the controversial former mayor could hurt him.\n\"Some will look at it that way and say Williamson was a bad dude and they don't want Buchanan in there because he's like Williamson,\" Ballenger said.\nHowever, Ballenger pointed out that Williamson won previous elections with a majority of the black vote and many still support him, which could lead to support of Buchanan.\nNorthside resident Robert Goodlow said he supports Buchanan running because of his past history in politics.\n\"When he was a councilman, he seemed like a stern guy who could make some good decisions,\" he said. \"He could bring some law and order to places that don't have it.\"", "url": "http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2009/02/darryl_buchanan_in_running_for.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090221103316/http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2009/02/darryl_buchanan_in_running_for.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Flint mayoral race expected to have slew of contenders", "text": "FLINT, Michigan -- Help wanted: City seeks mayor who specializes in eliminating deficits and dealing with outspoken council members.

John Gleason D-Flushing, said he is considering establishing a residency in the city and running for the job.\nA May 5 primary will whittle the field down to the top two vote-getters, who will compete in an August general election to become Flint's next mayor.

Walling is opening a campaign office Monday, and Neeley is opening three campaign offices this week.\nOthers who are pondering a run include Genesee County Commissioner Brenda Clack, former County Commissioner Raynetta Speed, Councilman Scott Kincaid and resident and political activist Eric Mays.\nThe incoming temporary mayor, Michael Brown, said he is not interested in the job permanently, but that hasn't stopped people from speculating he will run anyway.\nBrown reiterated that he's not a candidate, saying it would be too distracting to run the city and a campaign at the same time.\n\"The proof will be in the pudding. I know what my intentions are, and people can choose to either believe it or not believe it,\" Brown said.\nOthers rumored to be interested are Deputy Mayor Darryl Buchanan and recall organizer Greg Eason.\nWilliamson announced his resignation Monday , less than three weeks before he would have faced a recall election.\nMore could throw their names into the ring. The initial election after Woodrow Stanley was recalled in 2002 attracted nearly 40 who said they would run, although that election was canceled by the state in the run-up to its takeover of the city.\n\"A lot of people will be coming out of the woodwork,\" said Flint resident Dee Smith, who worked on the Stanley recall.\nAnd resident Chris Del Morone, who watches city politics closely, said he believes the city needs fresh leadership.\n\"Flint is really lacking in leaders, someone that the community can really turn to,\" he said.\nPaul Rozycki, a Mott Community College political science professor, said the field as it stands now has so many black candidates that they would split up the black vote.\nRozycki said he expects some of the hopefuls to drop out.\n\"There's going to be a lot of negotiating taking place,\" Rozycki said.\nKincaid, who is white, said he would strongly consider running if Walling were the only white candidate to run. Brown and Gleason are also white, while the rest of the expected front-runners are black.\nRozycki said Clack and Walling strike him as the most obvious front-runners, although it's difficult to tell.\nClack was a state representative before winning a county commissioner seat late last year.\nShe said a lot of people have asked her to run, and she's considering it.\n\"I'm willing to be a catalyst for positive change in our city,\" Clack said. \"I enjoy tackling problems. I realize everything's not going to be peaches and cream.\"\nWalling, whose loss to Williamson in 2007 was narrow, passed on opportunities to say \"I told you so\" about the mayor's tenure. The city's finances have been in a free fall since 2007, and Flint is facing a multimillion-dollar deficit for the second year in a row.\n\"This election is giving Flint a chance to have a fresh start,\" Walling said. \"We need an economic development plan for all of the neighborhoods in the city, not just a few.\"\nNeeley said he's focusing on jobs and \"quality of life.\"\n\"This city needs a true leader,\" Neeley said. \"We can provide that leadership.\"\nSpeed, who lost a bid to become the Genesee County register of deeds in November, said a run for mayor is \"possible.\" She said she wants to help the city.\n\"I'm a lifelong resident of Flint, and I live in the house I grew up in,\" Speed said. \"Flint has always been in my heart.\"\nGleason said others have been lobbying for him to see what he could do to help the city. He said an outsider's perspective may be what Flint needs.\n\"There's a lot of challenges,\" Gleason said. \"I've always sought office where I thought I could really make a difference.\"\nRozycki said he would be surprised if Gleason ran because the move doesn't make much \"logical sense\" for the state senator, who would likely enjoy six more years in Lansing versus running as an outsider in the mayor's race.\nBuchanan, a former councilman, declined to comment. If he did run, Rozycki said the deputy mayor's candidacy would be something of a mystery. Buchanan is tied to Williamson, even though the mayor elbowed him out of the city administrator position shortly before he resigned.\n\"I don't know what kind of support he has in the community, other than the Don,\" Rozycki said, pointing out that Williamson's support may be tenuous. \"It seems (Buchanan) was really hung out to dry.\"\nWalling has a network of supporters and has been showing up at a lot of community events, Rozycki said.\nRozycki said Neeley also could be a viable candidate.\n\"He's got a good image, but he's kind of low-key,\" Rozycki said. \"I'm not sure how much support he has outside of his ward.\"\nMays said he is interested, but he wants to see who else is running.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Peter Korn's Weblog", "text": "Tuesday July 11, 2006\nODF plug-in update: Microsoft funding a plug-in effort\nAs has been noted in the Wall Street Journal, in Network World and Tech World, in ZDNet, in computing in the UK, in warm tones from MSNBC, and with a more critical eye in Ars Technica, and with similar criticality in eWeek, Microsoft has announced their sponsorship of an open source project to develop an ODF plug-in to Office 2007. While this falls short of the approach I outlined in these pages at the outset of the ODF Accessibility issues in Massachusetts - namely of directly support for ODF in their Office suite - it demonstrates a recognition on their part of the importance of ODF, and at least some desire on their part to allow customers who pay for an upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007 to obtain an unsupported, third-party (but hey, it's open source so who can complain?) tool to be able to work with ODF files.\nIn addition to the many articles in the mainstream press about this move, I recommend reading Pamela Jones' analysis at Groklaw, and also Andy Updegrove's analysis at the Standards Blog, and finally (and most especially) Joanie Diggs' thoughts in the Carroll Center blog. While there are a number of concerns voiced about this move (Pamela is particularly suspicious about the second class status that this plug-in approach will be relegate ODF and PDF and all formats Microsoft might find competitive or threatening), I believe it validates Massachusetts' decision - and the decisions of many many other governments and companies and institutions worldwide - to move to the ISO standard Open Document file format. It further adds yet another option to the growing ranks of plug-ins to Microsoft Office that allow MS-Office users to remain with that application and yet read and write ODF files - something especially important to users of existing assistive technology applications which have been heavily customized to work well with MS-Office.\nJoanie Diggs quotes a section of the Microsoft press release in her blog about Microsoft's announcement, and asks for my comments.\nThe quote from the Microsoft press release is:\nOpen XML formats are also distinguished by their approach to accessibility support for disabled workers, file performance and flexibility to empower organizations to access and integrate their own XML data with the documents they use every day. In contrast, ODF focuses on more limited requirements, is architected very differently and is now under review in OASIS subcommittees to fill key gaps such as spreadsheet formulas, macro support and support for accessibility options. As a result, certain compromises and customer disclosures will be a necessary part of translating between the two formats.\nand the comment/question from Joanie:\nThat to me sounds like a bit of defensiveness on Microsoft’s part…. I’d be interested in hearing what the folks at OASIS have to say. Peter\nI personally see this less as defensiveness and more as disingenuousness. It is kinda like saying \"our encryption system is more secure because we didn't have invited security experts look at it\". Certainly Microsoft has had engineers working on accessibility for some time, and these folks may have done a thoughtful and capable job of ensuring that the MS-Office file formats contain everything that is needed to support accessibility (though, without an independent analysis, how can you be certain?). Likewise, as I've pointed out in these pages, the StarOffice/OpenOffice.org folks who developed the XML file format that was the basis for ODF had been working on accessibility in StarOffice/OpenOffice.org for over 5 years (with strong input from someone who helped write one of the first graphical screen readers for Windows), and much of ODF came from W3C specifications (e.g. SVG and xForms), which themselves went through a thorough accessibility review through the Web Accessibility Inititative processes.\nSo, does the existance of a group of accessibility experts, as part of an open process in an open standards body mean that the ODF file format better or worse than the MS-Office file format? Clearly it doesn't; it only means that accessibility is taken very seriously in ODF. To make an accessibility comparison of the two file formats, you need to undertake an independent review of ODF and the Microsoft Office file formats for accessibility, and see how they both fare. And it turns out, someone has already done that!\nDr. Cheiko Asakawa and and Rich Schwerdtfeger of IBM did a careful and thorough analysis of ODF and Microsoft Office file format accessibility. They found that Microsoft Office's file format failed to provide for relative font sizes, failed to encode table headers and logical tab orders in documents, and failed to provide label association for forms. Furthermore, outside of the accessibility context, the Microsoft Office file format provides no way to encode image maps (with or without appropriate ALT tags), or 3D shapes (both of which ODF provides for). Their analysis also found accessibility issues with ODF, all of which have been addressed in the ODF 1.1 proposal submitted to the ODF Technical Committee. So as I noted in late May, with these incorporated into ODF 1.1 later this year, ODF will be the most accessible document file format, bar none.\nSo, I guess in a way Microsoft was correct when they said in their press release \"certain compromises and customer disclosures will be a necessary part of translating between the two formats.\" At least when it applies to accessibility and ODF 1.1 later this year, exporting an ODF 1.1 file to Microsoft Office file format will mean a loss of some accessibility information, because there is simply no way to express that information in the Microsoft Office file format...

[ { "language": "de", "title": "Antivirus-Programm Solidarität - Morning Briefing", "text": "Guten Morgen liebe Leserinnen und Leser,\nlassen Sie uns zu Beginn dieser Woche, die auch wieder monothematisch verlaufen wird, ruhig einmal grundsätzlich werden. Man kann, unter dem Strich, die Katastrophe „Coronavirus“ auch als eine Art unfreiwilliges soziales Experiment betrachten, das unsere Gesellschaft weit mehr verändern wird als Tagungen über „Disruption“ oder „Fridays-for-Future“-Demos. Wenn von heute an Deutschland die Grenzen zu vielen Ländern schließt, die Inseln in Nord- und Ostsee auf einmal gesperrt und die Schulen verwaist sind sowie Bayern den Katastrophenfall ausruft, beginnt auch ein ganz anderer Kampf. Es ist der Kampf um Solidarität im Kleinen, um den Zusammenhalt von Nachbarn, Freunden und Familie, um das Glück im Moment. Niemand gewinnt alleine gegen die Angst. Sozialkontakte müssen nicht vermieden, sondern intensiver gelebt werden – im Kleinen.\nGesten und Gedanken zählen, wenn sich so etwas wie eine Massen-Psychose ausbreitet. Ja, es gibt noch ein Leben jenseits des Death-Toll-Live-Tickers, es gibt ein Bewusstsein jenseits von Betroffenheitsberichten. Eine Qualität im öffentlichen Diskurs müsste beispielsweise auch darin bestehen, Chancen der Entschleunigung zu sehen. All die Aufmerksamkeitsseminare der Republik haben das nicht vermocht.\n(Foto: dpa) SAP-Mitbegründer Dietmar Hopp erteilte US-Präsident Donald Trump eine Absage, einen Impfstoff gegen das Coronavirus den USA exklusiv zur Verfügung zu stellen.\nZwei Beispiele, wofür eine herausgeforderte Gesellschaft fähig ist, zwei Beispiele, in denen Unternehmer eine Hauptrolle spielen. Ich meine zum einen Bernard Arnault und seinen Luxusgüterkonzern LVMH, der nun in drei seiner Parfüm- und Kosmetikfabriken Handdesinfektionsmittel produzieren lässt. Zwölf Tonnen in dieser Woche, die kostenlos an französische Gesundheitsstellen gehen, vor allem an 39 öffentliche Krankenhäuser.\nZum anderen geht es um Dietmar Hopp, als SAP-Mitgründer reich geworden, dessen Beteiligungsgesellschaft Dievini (Anteil Hopps: 80 Prozent) dem irrlichternden US-Präsidenten einen Korb gab. Donald Trump wollte Dievinis Tübinger Biotech-Firma Curevac überreden, den im Entstehen begriffenen Impfstoff gegen das Coronavirus exklusiv an die USA zu liefern – doch Hopp erklärte, das Serum solle Menschen „nicht nur regional, sondern solidarisch auf der ganzen Welt erreichen“.\nIn der aktuellen Geopolitik, erst recht, wenn sie quasi auf Leben und Tod betrieben wird, beweist sich ein Wort von Lord Palmerston, dem mächtigen britischen Premier im 19. Jahrhundert: Danach haben große Mächte auf Dauer weder permanente Freunde noch permanente Feinde, sondern nur permanente Interessen. Schon in Fragen der Digitalisierung, der Sicherheit, des Umweltschutzes und der Elektromobilität war zuletzt das Gebot deutscher und europäischer Souveränität ganz hoch auf die Agenda gerutscht, für die Covid-19-Bedrohung gilt das in besonderem Maße. Wirtschaftsminister Peter Altmaier (CDU) lobt Curevac: „Deutschland steht nicht zum Verkauf.“ Und der amerikanische Freund, könnte er hinzufügen, ist auch mal der amerikanische Feind.\nIn der Finanzkrise hat sich der US-Staat an Finanzunternehmen beteiligt. Gut möglich, dass sich diesmal, im Sars-CoV-2-Desaster, der deutsche Staat beispielsweise für Teilübernahmen von Luftfahrtfirmen entschließt. Die Lufthansa, die 70 Prozent der Flüge gestrichen hat und den Flugbetrieb womöglich weitgehend einstellt, redet mit der Bundesregierung ebenfalls über politische Hilfen. Dies wird heute beim „Branchendialog Luftfahrt“ mit Thomas Jarzombek, Luftfahrtkoordinator der Bundesregierung, eine große Rolle spielen. Die Industrie stehe vor „einer Krise globalen Ausmaßes wie nie zuvor“, sagt Alex Cruz, CEO von British Airways. Der Reisekonzern Tui beschloss gestern Nacht, Staatsgarantien zu beantragen. Die meisten eigenen Aktivitäten – einschließlich Hotelbetrieb, Kreuzfahrten und Pauschalreisen – sind bis auf Weiteres ausgesetzt.\nEuropas Kampf gegen das Virus wird heute im Mittelpunkt der Weltpresse stehen. EU-Kommissionschefin Ursula von der Leyen will einen Vorschlag für einheitliche Kontrollmaßnahmen an den europäischen Grenzen machen. Die CDU-Politikerin ist besorgt, weil Warentransporte gefährdet und Tausende Bus- und Lkw-Fahrer gestrandet seien: „Wenn wir jetzt nicht handeln, werden Läden Schwierigkeiten bekommen, ihre Lager mit bestimmten Produkten zu füllen.“ Der Binnenmarkt müsse erhalten bleiben.\nNoch wichtiger als die zu erwartende Fensterrede ist eine Telefonkonferenz der Euro-Länder-Finanzminister. Nach unseren Erkenntnissen wollen sie eine Reform des Euro-Rettungsfonds ESM beschließen, der dann Kredite an Euro-Länder vergeben könnte. Auch soll eine Letztabsicherung für Banken („Backstop“) von 2024 auf 2021 vorgezogen werden.\nIn der Causa Corona hat Donald Trump bisher als Krisenmanager versagt. Hilfe bekommt er jetzt von einer Stelle, auf die er eingeprügelt hat wie auf ein Stück Eisen: von der Fed. Die US-Notenbank schleust nun zum zweiten Mal innerhalb von zwei Wochen den Zins herunter – um einen vollen Prozentpunkt auf null bis 0,25 Prozent. Die amerikanische Wirtschaft soll so vor den Folgen und Gefahren der Pandemie geschützt werden.\nDamit sind die USA endgültig in der Phalanx der Null-Zins-Größen Europa und Japan angekommen. Wirtschaftsprofessor Hans-Werner Sinn warnt im Handelsblatt-Gastkommentar: Die Welt schwimme ohnehin schon in Liquidität, noch mehr Zinssenkungen „würden vielleicht den Börsen helfen, doch zugleich einen Run auf Bargeld erzeugen“. Die Zentralbanken hätten „ihr Pulver bereits zur Unzeit verbraucht und sind verantwortlich für die Blase, die Corona nun platzen ließ.“\n(Foto: dpa) CSU-Chef Markus Söder konnte mit seiner Partei nur wenige Erfolge bei den Kommunalwahlen feiern.\nÜber die Klimakatastrophe, das Pariser Abkommen und Umweltschutz wurde zuletzt kaum noch geredet. Krisenzeiten sind Zeiten des politischen Establishments, weshalb es bei den Kommunalwahlen am Sonntag in den fünf größten bayerischen Städten zu Stichwahlen zwischen CSU und SPD kommt – ohne Beteiligung der Grünen, denen man vor Kurzem noch ganz andere Resultate zugetraut hatte. Ihre Erfolge seien „nicht messbar“, ereiferte sich Ministerpräsident Markus Söder, dessen CSU jedoch auch nur selten Triumphe feierte wie in Straubing, wo 73,25 Prozent zu Buche stehen.\nBlamabel für die Grünen, dass in München ihre Bewerberin gegen Kristina Frank (CSU) unterlag, die nun in der Stichwahl um den Oberbürgermeister-Posten gegen Platzhirsch Dieter Reiter (SPD) antritt. Berauschend für die Grünen dagegen, dass sie nun mit 28,8 Prozent stärkste Partei im Stadtrat ist, weit vor CSU (26,4 Prozent) und SPD (22,3 Prozent).\nUnd dann ist da noch Hans-Joachim Watzke, CEO von Borussia Dortmund, der wegen der Corona-Gefahr allerlei Fußball-Geisterspiele kommen sieht: „Niemand in der Bundesliga geht davon aus, dass wir die Saison mit Zuschauern zu Ende spielen. Ein normales Fußballspiel werden wir lange nicht erleben.“ Was das genau bedeutet, darüber reden die 36 Profiklubs der Deutschen Fußball-Liga (DFL) heute auf einer Krisensitzung.

Wayne Root won a close race with Steve Kubby to win the Vice-Presidential nomination.\nChair Bill Redpath received 49% on the first ballot, compared to about 30% for Ruth Bennett and around 15% for Ernest Hancock. Somewhat surprisingly, Hancock’s voters did not go overwhelmingly for Bennett on the second ballot, and Redpath was re-elected with 57%.\nPresidential candidate Michael Jingozian was a surprise last-minute opponent to otherwise unopposed Vice Chair Chuck Moulton. Jingozian apparently rode his celebrity status to a first-ballot win of over 60%, perhaps assisted by a nomination speech by Secretary Bob Sullentrup. (Moulton declined to run for an at-large LNC seat, citing his recent matriculation at George Mason University in pursuit of a Ph.D. in economics, having just completed his Master’s five days ago.)\nAaron Starr received more than 60% of the vote over Carol McMahon to remain Treasurer, and Secretary Bob Sullentrup was re-elected by acclamation.\nRadicals won three of the five LNC at-large seats, as Dr. Mary Ruwart and R. Lee Wrights join returning incumbents Angela Keaton, Admiral Michael Colley, and Pat Dixon. Well-known and principled Libertarians were elected to fill the seven Judicial Committee seats: Ruth Bennett (subsequently elected Chair), David Nolan, Nick Sarwark, Allen Hacker, Tom Stevens, Travis Nicks, and Joe Cobb. Thus the LNC and Judicial Committee seemed well-prepared to ensure that our new presidential ticket will hew to the comprehensive principles of our repaired Platform.\nVote counts for most of the officer elections are here.

What Lee and others fail to understand is that Congressman Barr was in fact the White House's chief legislative roadblock in their barreling PATRIOT through Congress. And that for his trouble, Barr earned the wrath of White House operatives like Karl Rove, which is what ultimately cast Barr from the Congress. (Thanks to Democrat gerrymandering in Georgia, Barr had to run against another incumbent Republican Congressman in the GOP primary, one who hadn't earned the ire of Rove's powerful machine.)\nIn 2001, Barr was the lead figure in the GOP-controlled House in pushing back against the PATRIOT Act, and ultimately suceeded in deleteing some text and forcing sunset clauses on the bill's worst provisions. Brad Jansen explains much of the background at American Spectator. More here. So when Barr started lobbying against PATRIOT Act abuses soon after leaving Congress, it was a continuation of his previous activities, not a reversal.\nAnd those who remember politics before Bush may recall Bill Clinton's own \"9/11\", the Oklahoma City bombing. Just as after 9/11, a wish list of Justice Department powers was pulled off the shelf and given to the Congress to pass as an \"anti-terror\" bill.

This will be a historic and positive campaign that will succeed,\" Barr told supporters at the party's convention in Denver, Colorado, after being elected in six rounds of voting.\nThe former Republican representative for Georgia, who played a key role in the congressional impeachment of former president Bill Clinton, added: \"We have only 163 days to win this election. Do not waste one single day.\"\nThe 59-year-old told reporters earlier this month that he was running because no other presidential candidate understood the principles of fiscal conservatism and basic principles on which he said America was founded.\nBarr appeared unconcerned about damaging McCain's support among conservative voters.\n\"If Senator McCain ... does not succeed in winning the presidency ... it will be because Senator McCain did not present, and his party did not present, a vision, an agenda, a platform and a series of programs that actually resonated positively with the American people,\" he said.\nIndependent and third parties have faced a tough task in modern US election history of breaking the dominance of the Democratic and Republican parties, though several candidates have played a spoiler role.\nBarr said Sunday that he did not intend simply \"to make a point\" but to win, and party spokesman Andrew Davis said he was \"one of the strongest candidates in the party's 37-year history\" and would make an \"enormous impact.\"\n\"Republicans and Democrats have good reason to fear a candidate like Barr, who refuses to accept the 'business-as-usual' attitude of the current political establishment,\" Davis said.\n\"Americans want and need another choice, and that choice is Bob Barr.\"\nThe Libertarian Party stands for non-interference by the US government in the personal and business lives of Americans, and advocates lower taxes, a smaller government and more individual freedom.\nCopyright © 2013 AFP.

Pour définir la musique du groupe on peut dire qu’il s’agit d’un savant mélange entre du \"Boby Lapointe\" et \"Marcel et Son Orchestre\". Cette comparaison est surtout due aux paroles comiques, tirant même sur l’ironie.\nClassé dans la musique punk, le groupe gère une image assez décalée vis-à-vis des autres groupes musicaux. Pour preuve, le quintette se définit lui-même comme de la « punk pour les nuls ». Ce qui montre son humour et surtout son auto-dérision. Leur chansons abordent aussi un humour caricatural mettant en tête de liste de personnes malmenées, les rappeurs, les chanteurs humanitaires, les boys band, le reggae et les séries des années 80.\nFatals Picards joue beaucoup avec l’actualité musicale, surtout celle qui est liée au piratage. Sur scène, ils n’hésitent pas à évoquer ce problème, « si vous gravez mes CD, c’est comme si vous tuez des bébés chats ». Refusant toute médiatisation, la bande s’est fait connaître par le biais du bouche à oreille et surtout par les nombreux concerts qu’ils ont assurés.\nDepuis 2000, année de sa création, Fatals Picards a sorti quatre albums, à raison d’un opus tous les deux ans. Après Navet Maria, Droit de Véto, Picardia Independenza, c’est Pamplemousse Mécanique qui est le dernier sortie dans les bacs en janvier 2007.\nC’est leur histoire :\nComme leur nom l’indique les Fatals Picards sont aussi parisiens qu’Indochine. En hom-mage à la pensée moderne (la fleur) ils décident de fonder un groupe et de mélanger chanson et humour, ils ajoutent aussi d’autres ingrédients très utiles pour avoir du succès mais qu’ils ne peuvent bien évidemment pas divulguer.\nLe groupe est fondé officiellement en 2000 par Ivan. Il s’adjoint des comparses pour pouvoir conserver légalement la notion de groupe musical et bénéficier ainsi de nombreux avantages fiscaux, comme par exemple le co-voiturage. Les Fatals Picards commencent donc à creuser leur carrière un an après la fin du monde annoncée par Paco Rabanne, afin d’être bien sûrs que le prophète s’est vraiment fourvoyé et ne pas monter un groupe pour rien, quelques mois avant l’apocalypse.\nAprès avoir fait de nombreux concerts pendant 5 ans, il décident d’en faire d’autres, pour ne pas éveiller les soupçons du mage couturier. Conscients d’être perpétuellement épiés par le monde de la mode, le groupe prend de diverses formes passant d’un duo insolent à l’humour décalé à un quintet insolent à l’humour décalé.\nC’est maintenant une troupe de choc composée de cinq fiers gaillards : Ivan le chanteur fondateur, Laurent le guitariste, Jean-Marc le batteur-tourneur, Paul le deuxième chanteur (au cas où un des deux tombe en panne) et Yves le bassiste (parce qu’il en faut au moins un). Pas moins de 300 concerts à leur actif durant ces 5 ans, pas plus non plus, parce que quand même c’est pas mal de boulot et il faut savoir aussi conserver une vie privée palpitante.\nTrois albums sous le régime austère de l’autoproduction et leur propre structure de tournée Adone, les ont formés à tout endurer. Ils peuvent désormais retenir leur respiration pendant plus de 30 secondes, ils peuvent manger une demi-baguette en un repas (à deux), ils peuvent fermer les yeux pendant plus de 6 heures sans sourcilier ou presque. Leur maîtrise totale est encore plus flagrante sur scène où ils sont régulièrement applaudis à la fin de chaque chanson !\n2006 est une année cruciale pour eux, d’ailleurs la somme des chiffres de 2006 fait 8 ! Enfin reconnus par le monde du disque en signant chez Warner Music (d’ailleurs la somme des lettres de Warner Music fait 8 !) ils sont encouragés par la profession musicale à tenir tête aux couturiers et à continuer leurs spectacles emplis d’énergie, de surréalisme, de rire et aussi de spectateurs ! Car le public est grandissant pour les Fatals : 5 cm de plus que la moyenne nationale.

In 2003 he was released by WWE in what was seen as a mutual decision, with Jeff citing burn-out and needing to heal injuries, while WWE were said to be irked by a refusal to attend rehab to address drug issues and a lack of reliability in and out of the ring.\nHe spent a year out of wrestling before resurfacing in TNA in June 2005. He had a reasonably successful for a time, but found himself suspended in April 2006 for no-showing a PPV match with Raven.\nARRESTED ... wrestling star Jeff Hardy\nHe would return shortly afterwards, but was gone by the end of the year, once again failing to attend a major show.\nHe was given a second chance by WWE midway through 2006, and soon recaptured tag team gold with brother Matt as well as figuring in the intercontinental title picture.\nHardy missed the 2007 SummerSlam through what was believed to be his first 30-day suspension. His official website reported an injury which kept him out for a month, but Jim Ross' blog made comments which alluded to an enforced absence by the company, and not due to him being hurt.\nThe absence did not seem to affect his push, since by the Royal Rumble 2008 he was pitted against Randy Orton for the WWE championship. He was not successful, but was probably the most over wrestler in the company at that time.\nOnce again, though, he was blighted by his inability to stay out of trouble. He was suspended for sixty days for a wellness violation in March 2008, causing him to miss WrestleMania 24. The fact that this suspension was 60 days further indicated that his previous absence had been due to suspension.\nIn September last year he was refused permission to board a plane home after an event, but it did not result in any further action.\nEven after Hardy's turbulent year he won his first major title in December 2008 when he captured the WWE Title at Armageddon. He had has two further stints as World Champion since then.\nAdvertisement\nHis decision to leave the company again was leaked several months ago, with the exact date undetermined until just two weeks ago when he lost the title to CM Punk in a TLC match, then was defeated by Punk on Smackdown in a cage match where the loser was forced to leave WWE.\nIronically, CM Punk had used his rivalry with Hardy to turn heel, and used his Straightedge lifestyle, where he abstains from all drug and alcohol use, as a springboard to pompously chastise Jeff for his errant ways and his fans for cheering him for it.\nIt will be intriguing to see whether Punk follows up this incident to prove his point.\nWere Jeff Hardy still with WWE then it seems certain that they would have taken a dim view of this incident and immediately fired him.\nThere are revelations that they have already pulled a DVD set that was to be dedicated to the star's career.\nThis new revelation may have harmed his chances of ever returning to the company ever again, and is sure to disappoint his many legions of fans.", "url": "http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/2634697/Jeff-Hardy-arrested-for-drug-trafficking.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090914094914/http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/2634697/Jeff-Hardy-arrested-for-drug-trafficking.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Breaking News: Former WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy Arrested For Drugs!", "text": "In one of the more shocking stories I have heard in some time, Jeff Hardy was arrested today on what is said to be 5 felonies. The report from TMZ.com and thepilot.com say that he was arrested this morning for this:\n\"262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and items of drug paraphernalia.\"\nThey also said that he had \"an intent to sell\".\nFor those of you out there who are not drug lords, the estimated street value of the drugs are said to be $2,500. I personally didn't know and had to find the number.\nThe story came out a little earlier and many people thought it was fake, mainly because it doesn't make any sense. However, the Sheriffs Department there in Cartage, NC confirmed it, saying he was in fact arrested on drug related charges.\nThe bail was set at $125,000 and was payed by Matt Hardy, Jeff's older brother. Jeff is obviously free because he sent out a tweet on twitter.com just a small time ago saying:\n\"Alot of exaggerations are out there today, don't believe everything you read 4 it is not true, I am at home and fine-thanks for your concern\"\nI personally think he is not trying to sell the drugs, quite frankly because he doesn't need to. I mean he still has a ton of WWE money and he left to take time off, if he needed the money he would have stuck around.\nAlso, its an estimated $2500, that is barely enough to get a used car people. If he wanted to sell, one would think he would have a ton of drugs on him.\nAlso, the steroids and pain killers kind of make no sense at this point. He never needed steroids, because his strength was never a part of his game. Of course, being anabolic, it probably is being used for pain not for getting bulked up.\nHowever, he is now done with wrestling and probably does not need to use such strong drugs for pain. If he did, he could have taken Tylenol, Aleve, or another over the counter drug.\nAnd if he did need higher grade pain killers, he would be smart enough to get a prescription for them. Vicodin is supposedly only available by prescription anyway, so he would have had to got them from a pharmacist or off the street. I guess he is taking House's supply.\nIn any case, getting drugs off the street is never good, because half the time is it a lesser grade knockoff of the actual drug. Hardy should know that, seeing as he got in trouble with the issue before. Some would say, how would you know something like this Joe?\nI don't personally have experience with this kind of thing as far as paying for illegal drugs on the street, but I have a few friends who happen to be police officers. Thanks for letting me know guys!\nThe cocaine is one thing I can understand, quite frankly because he was busted with it before. But it was a small amount, which probably means he had been using it and needed more.\nThis whole thing is probably over exaggerated. I think that if the bail was set that low, and the fact there is a bail period is an indication he didn't do anything as big as what is being reported.\nHe could probably get off on the prescription pain killers, and maybe the steroids if there is a prescription. But being caught with the cocaine is not good at all, especially because he has been busted before with it.\nAnd because the amount of drugs he had were only valued for a small $2500 means he will most likely go out on probation, community service, and a ton of fines. I personally don't see jail time, but it is possible there is more we don't know that will be revealed in he coming days.", "url": "http://bleacherreport.com/articles/252731-former-wwe-superstar-jeff-hardy-arrested-for-drugs", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090913012258/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/252731-former-wwe-superstar-jeff-hardy-arrested-for-drugs" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Jeff Hardy Arrested For Drug Trafficking, Multiple Felonies", "text": "NEWS > WWE >\n| More WWE Posted in:\nBreaking News: Jeff Hardy Arrested For Drug Trafficking, Multiple Felonies\nBy\nSep 11, 2009 - 4:24:24 PM\nBy Michael Bluth Sep 11, 2009 - 4:24:24 PM\nFormer WWE superstar Jeff Hardy is in the Moore County jail this afternoon after being arrested on charges of trafficking in controlled prescription pills and possession of anabolic steriods.\nHardy, 32, was arrested on Friday after a search of his home yielded 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, powder cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

Se agrega a la nueva resolución del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU adoptada el 9 de junio que refuerza las sanciones internacionales contra Irán.\nLa comunidad internacional sospecha que Irán, a pesar de sus reiterados desmentidos, trata de dotarse del arma atómica bajo la cobertura de un programa nuclear civil.\nUn miembro de la comisión parlamentaria de Relaciones Exteriores y Seguridad Nacional iraní, Heshmatolá Falahat Pishé, también citado por ISNA, pidió represalias contra los Emiratos Arabes Unidos, Gran Bretaña y Alemania.\n\"Nosotros consideramos que las sanciones de Estados Unidos están destinadas a perjudicar a los iraníes\", dijo. \"Debemos hacerle lo mismo a los Emiratos, a Gran Bretaña y a Alemania, cuyos aviones necesitan ser aprovisionados en Irán\", agregó.\n\"Si se perjudica el desarrollo y la seguridad de Irán, ningún país de la región podrá gozar de una seguridad duradera\", advirtió.\nSin embargo, las autoridades de los Emiratos, Gran Bretaña y Alemania negaron haber impuesto nuevas directivas respecto al aprovisionamiento de los aviones de línea iraníes que transitan por sus aeropuertos.\nEn Londres, un portavoz del gobierno dijo que éste no estaba \"informado de una negativa de carburante en el Reino Unido\".\nEn Dubái, un portavoz del aeropuerto internacional sostuvo que los aviones iraníes continuaban recibiendo el servicio de aprovisionamiento.\nSin embargo, una fuente vinculada al caso en Dubái señaló un problema con un \"proveedor internacional de carburante\" en varios aeropuertos del mundo, incluyendo los Emiratos, que se negó a repostar aviones iraníes. Pero \"los operadores de Iran Air tienen otras fuentes para aprovisionarse\", dijo esta fuente, que solicitó el anonimato.\nSegún el Financial Times Deutschland (FTD) del martes, la compañía petrolera británica BP no renovó un contrato de abastecimiento de combustible con las aerolíneas aéreas iraníes que expiraba a finales de junio, lo cual podría explicar las dificultades a las que estas últimas se enfrentan para repostar sus aviones.\nEl diario cita el ejemplo de un avión de Iran Air que tuvo que aterrizar en Viena porque no pudo llenar el tanque en el aeropuerto de Hamburgo.\nEn Berlín, el Ministerio del Transporte se limitó a afirmar que la negativa a repostar aviones de pasajeros no forma parte de las sanciones norteamericanas o de la ONU.\nSin embargo, la oficina alemana de la compañía nacional Iran Air desmintió que los aeropuertos de Alemania se negasen a efectuar dicho aprovisionamiento. \"Es incorrecto\", respondió a la AFP Mohamad Rajabi, el director de Iran Air, interrogado en Fráncfort.\nCopyright © 2013 AFP.

[ { "language": "es", "title": "Emmanuel Macron, el nuevo presidente de Francia", "text": "París -\nActualizado a las 16:05\nEl centrista proeuropeo Emmanuel Macron, de 39 años, fue elegido este domingo presidente de Francia -el más joven de su historia.\n\"Combatiré las divisiones que nos lastran\", prometió este domingo el centrista Emmanuel Macron, ganador de las elecciones presidenciales en Francia, asegurando que ha escuchado \"la ira, ansiedad y dudas\" de sus compatriotas.\nCon entre el 65,5 y 66,1% de los sufragios, este exbanquero reemplazará al socialista François Hollande que renunció a presentarse por falta de apoyo popular y del que fue ministro de Economía, según estimaciones de institutos independientes.\n\"Sé cuáles son las divisiones de nuestra nación que han conducido a algunos a votos extremos, los respeto\", dijo Macron en un discurso en su cuartel general de campaña en París tras derrotar a la ultraderechista Marine Le Pen con alrededor del 65% de los votos.\nMacron gobernará en una Francia muy dividida políticamente entre las zonas urbanas (privilegiadas y reformistas) y las desheredadas (tentadas por los extremos). Tiene varios desafíos por delante como un desempleo endémico de 10%, la lucha antiterrorista y la crisis de la Unión Europea (UE).\n\"Mi responsabilidad será apaciguar los temores\", agregó el presidente electo, quien aseguró que también trabajará para \"reconstruir la relación entre Europa y los ciudadanos\".\n\"Amemos Francia, voy a servirla con humildad, entrega y determinación\", concluyó Macron, quien a sus 39 años se convierte en el más joven presidente de Francia con un nuevo partido, \"¡En Marcha!\".\nDerrota de Le pen\nAunque Marine Le Pen, de 48 años, pierde por amplio margen, no es una derrota en toda regla para ella ni para su partido -el Frente Nacional (FN)- que ha convencido a entre el 33,9% y el 34,5% del electorado con promesas en contra de la inmigración y el euro. No sólo eso, sino que se ha hecho un hueco entre las principales fuerzas políticas del panorama nacional.\nEn apenas un año, desde que fundó el movimiento centrista ¡En Marcha!, Macron se abrió paso en un país en el que dos grandes partidos tradicionales de izquierda y derecha se alternaban en el poder desde hacía medio siglo.\nSe los llevó por delante en la primera vuelta con un programa europeísta y liberal en temas económicos y sociales.

Ahir a la nit, a la plaça del Louvre, un espai neutral, «ni de dretes ni d’esquerres», va començar el que promet ser una aventura política extraordinària per la seva novetat. Emmanuel Macron, l’home que embolicat en la bandera europeista ha sacsejat la política francesa en només uns mesos, es convertirà aquesta setmana als 39 anys en el president més jove que ha tingut mai França, després de guanyar de forma contundent la ultradretana Marine Le Pen. Amb el 89% dels vots escrutats, Macron va aconseguir el 64,78% de les paperetes. La seva rival es va quedar en el 35,22%.\nReunides a la plaça del Louvre, davant de la famosa piràmide de vidre, milers de persones van acollir amb alegria l’entrada triomfal de Macron. Ho va fer amb els acords de l’Himne de l’alegria, l’europeu. «El que hem fet des de fa tants mesos no té precedent ni equivalent. Tothom deia que era impossible. ¡Perquè no coneixien França!», va declarar entre ovacions en un sentit discurs que va acabar entre les llàgrimes de la seva dona, Brigitte, i envoltat de tota la seva família.\nAbans, al quarter general d’En Marxa! (EM), el moviment que va fundar fa només un any, Macron va fer la seva primera declaració de la nit. Molt més institucional es va dirigir «a tots els ciutadans del país», també als votants de Le Pen, a qui va enviar una «salutació republicana».\nVa expressar el seu desig que la nova pàgina que s’obre a França amb la seva victòria sigui la de l’«esperança i confiança retrobada». I va tornar a abraçar la bandera europeista a l’afirmar que defensarà «França i Europa». Va prometre que treballarà per «regenerar la vida pública» i que la seva prioritat serà la lluita contra el terrorisme. Però sobretot va llançar un missatge als votants de Le Pen. Va assegurar haver entès «la còlera, l’ansietat i els dubtes» dels francesos i va prometre «lluitar contra les divisions que minen França».\nReconciliar aquestes dues Frances, amb profundes fractures –territorial, social, cultural i econòmica– que han posat en evidència les urnes serà la primera missió de Macron, que ha sigut elegit amb vot prestat –el de la «defensa de la República», com ell ha admès– amb una abstenció rècord d’entre el 25% i 27% –no es veia des del 1969– i un rècord de vots blancs o nuls del 12%.\nEL MILLOR RESULTAT DE L’FN\nLa victòria de Macron sobre Le Pen és contundent però no pot esborrar el fet que la candidata ultra ha aconseguit per al Front Nacional (FN) el millor resultat de la seva història: 11 milions de vots (5,5 milions en va aconseguir el seu pare en la segona volta el 2002), confirmant que el seu és un partit en contínua ascensió, amb vocació d’arribar al poder.\nAl país dels drets humans i les conquistes socials, el discurs excloent, antiimmigració i xenòfob del Front Nacional ha conquistat l’esperit de bona part dels francesos, sobretot entre els castigats per la globalització, seduïts per qui s’ha autobatejat com «la candidata del poble» davant del «candidat de les finances».\nMacron, amb un programa centrista, liberal en el terreny econòmic i també en el social i apuntalat amb mesures socials, tindrà una fèrria oposició, i no solament del Front Nacional. Després de negar-li el vot, el candidat de l’esquerra insubmisa, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, promet donar-li guerra. En la seva primera declaració després de conèixer el triomf de Macron va assegurar que el seu programa destruirà el «sistema social francès».\nEls sindicats ja han convocat una manifestació per avui mateix contra les polítiques del candidat. L’aprofundiment de la impopular reforma laboral que va aprovar François Hollande és una de les seves prioritats així que formi Govern aquesta setmana, amb què llançarà el primer missatge de la nova era. A l’Executiu hi vol integrar persones de la dreta i de l’esquerra. La meitat no procedirà del món de la política, sinó de la societat civil.\nLES ELECCIONS LEGISLATIVES\nLes batalles que haurà de mantenir el nou president seran en múltiples fronts. Al juny estan convocades eleccions legislatives i Macron s’haurà d’escarrassar per aconseguir la majoria en l’Assemblea amb En Marxa! i evitar una nova cohabitació. Però per poder-ho fer, el moviment haurà d’aconseguir en un altre temps rècord presentar 577 candidats a tot el territori nacional. Macron ha dit que desitja ser un «president que presideixi amb un primer ministre que governi». Però necessita que sigui dels seus.\nAmb un poder gairebé absolut (presidència, Assemblea i majoria de regions, departaments i grans ciutats) Hollande, el socialista que va arrencar tantes esperances amb la promesa d’arreglar els comptes públics i impulsar el creixement, llega una economia ranquejant\n–deute, dèficit i atur– i un país espantat pel terrorisme. Macron haurà de fer alguna cosa més que confiar en els astres que des del principi d’aquesta aventura l’han acompanyat per convertir-lo en el vuitè president de la Cinquena República quan fa únicament tres anys –abans que Hollande el nomenés ministre d’Economia– era un desconegut.\nLes seves polítiques hauran d’acabar amb les causes del desencant que han portat tants i tants ciutadans francesos a la indiferència i de la ràbia que ha fet a molts altres més votar l’extrema dreta, a la qual ja no n’hi ha prou de contenir-la, sinó que s’haurà de combatre. En cas contrari, el terreny haurà sigut adobat perquè d’aquí cinc anys el populisme més reaccionari porti la foscor al país de les llums i de la raó.", "url": "http://www.elperiodico.cat/ca/noticias/internacional/macron-nou-president-franca-guanya-eleccions-6022173", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170508030332/http://www.elperiodico.cat/ca/noticias/internacional/macron-nou-president-franca-guanya-eleccions-6022173" }, { "language": "es", "title": "La participación, decisiva en la disputa presidencial de Macron y Le Pen", "text": "Más de 45 millones de franceses están llamados este domingo a elegir entre dos modelos irreconciliables de país, en unas elecciones en las que el socioliberal Emmanuel Macron parte como claro favorito, pero cuyo resultado estará determinado por el nivel de participación.\nSi cerca del 80 % de los censados acuden a ejercer su derecho, como sucedió en la primera vuelta hace dos semanas, las encuestas auguran una holgada victoria por más de veinte puntos del centrista Macron frente a la ultraderechista Marine Le Pen.\nSin embargo, es una incógnita qué sucedería con una abstención alta acompañada por un aumento exponencial del voto en blanco, una circunstancia que se contempla por el rechazo que producen ambos candidatos en algunos sectores de la sociedad.\nLa campaña más bronca que se recuerda tuvo como corolario, en la noche del viernes al sábado, el anuncio de que una ingente cantidad de documentos internos del movimiento 'En Marcha', fundado por Macron, han sido pirateados y difundidos por las redes sociales.\nAunque el silencio obligatorio en la jornada de reflexión evitó que Le Pen pudiese utilizar políticamente la filtración de esos papeles, la noticia acabó de enfangar unos comicios que serán recordados por su acritud.\nLa única reacción del Frente Nacional (FN) llegó a cargo de su vicepresidente Florian Philippot, minutos antes de que llegara la medianoche y se impusiera la restricción, en un tuit en la red social Twitter el que se preguntó: ¿Enseñarán los #MacronLeaks cosas que el periodismo de investigación ha callado deliberadamente?\".\n'En Marcha' denunció que los archivos pirateados -como correos electrónicos, documentos contables o contratos- fueron obtenidos hace varias semanas \"gracias al 'hackeo' de direcciones de correo personales y profesionales de responsables del movimiento\".\nSegún el movimiento que el exministro de Economía creó hace ahora un año, los autores del pirateo hicieron circular documentos falsos junto a los auténticos para \"sembrar la duda y la desinformación\".\nPara la campaña \"macronista\", el robo es \"una tentativa de desestabilizar las elecciones presidenciales\", a imagen de lo que \"ya se vio en Estados Unidos en la última campaña\".\nEl pasado 26 de abril, \"En Marcha\" confirmó haber sido objeto de al menos cinco ciberataques realizados por profesionales y atribuidos al mismo grupo de piratas rusos, Pawn Storm, al que se responsabilizó de las filtraciones de correos de la campaña de la candidata demócrata en las elecciones estadounidenses, Hillary Clinton.\nEn una reacción fulminante, la Comisión Nacional de Control de la Campaña Presidencial (CNCCEP) recordó a todos los ciudadanos, y especialmente a los medios de comunicación, que la difusión de los documentos pirateados puede implicar la \"responsabilidad penal\" de sus autores.\nMientras, el todavía presidente François Hollande señaló que la agresión cibernética \"no quedará sin respuesta\", al tiempo que admitió que existía el riesgo de que algo así sucediera, \"pues ya ha ocurrido en otras partes\".\nMedidas de seguridad\nLas votaciones, que comenzaron ayer sábado en los territorios franceses de ultramar y en los consulados galos en el continente americano, estarán rodeadas por excepcionales medidas de seguridad, en la línea de las que se desplegaron en la primera vuelta.\nMás de 50.000 policías y gendarmes, apoyados por los 7.000 militares movilizados en el marco de la operación antiterrorista Sentinelle, velarán por que la segunda vuelta de las presidenciales se desarrolle en \"máximas condiciones de seguridad\".\nEl ataque perpetrado por un supuesto yihadista el 20 de abril en los Campos Elíseos de París, en el que murió un policía, y la detención este viernes de un presunto radicalizado que pretendía atentar contra una base militar en Normandía mantienen en estado de alerta absoluta a las fuerzas de seguridad.", "url": "http://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2017/05/07/590e23d7468aeb9b2b8b4591.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170507033912/http://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2017/05/07/590e23d7468aeb9b2b8b4591.html" } ]

Miasto jest współorganizatorem okolicznościowej gali, stąd idea uhonorowania dwóch postaci związanych z klubem.\nPierwotnie radni w komisjach tematycznych, a później na sesji debatowali nad tym pomysłem. Wszyscy jednoznacznie podkreślali, że zasługi obydwu panów są niekwestionowane. Wątpliwości budził jednak sposób przyznawania im tytułów.\nMarek Zalotyński mówił, że tytuł Honorowego Obywatela Miasta Mielca przyznawany jest za wybitne zasługi dla miasta. - Przygotowując się do obchodów 550-rocznicy lokacji miasta i związanych z tym planowanych uroczystości winniśmy wypracować jasne, klarowne zasady związane z tym tytułem, bo jest to najwyższe wyróżnienie gminy.

Tymczasem dzisiaj nie brakuje wątpliwości proceduralnych.\nFinalnie Bogdan Bieniek, przewodniczący Rady Miejskiej podkreślił, iż planując na obrady sesji punkt dotyczący uhonorowania Edwarda Kazimierskiego i Grzegorza Lato „nie miał wątpliwości, że obydwaj panowie wpiszą się w jakikolwiek regulamin”. Podkreślił też, że obaj są ikonami Mielca. Bieniek zapowiedział przy tym opracowanie przez miasto regulaminu określającego zasady przyznawania kolejnych takich tytułów w przyszłości.\nW głosowaniu wszyscy obecni na sali radni byli za przyznaniem tytułu Honorowego Obywatelstwa Miasta Mielca zarówno Edwardowi Kazimierskiemu, jak i Grzegorzu Lacie.

Taiwan denounced the legislation as a \"blank check to invade\" and announced war games aimed at repelling an attack. The proposed anti-secession law, read out for the first time before the ceremonial National People's Congress, doesn't say what specific actions might invite a Chinese attack. \"If possibilities for a peaceful reunification should be completely exhausted, the state shall employ non-peaceful means and other necessary measures to protect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity,\" Wang Zhaoguo, deputy chairman of the NPC's Standing Committee, told the nearly 3 000 NPC members gathered in the Great Hall of the People. Beijing claims Taiwan, split from China since 1949, as part of its territory. The communist mainland repeatedly has threatened to invade if Taiwan tries to make its independence permanent, and the new law doesn't impose any new conditions or make new threats. But it lays out for the first time legal requirements for military action. Building up weapons arsenal Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, which handles the island's China policy, said the law gives China's military \"a blank check to invade Taiwan\" and \"exposed the Chinese communists' attempt to use force to annex Taiwan and to be a regional power.\" The island's vice-president, Annette Lu, accused Beijing of violating international norms for peacefully resolving disputes, as Taipei prepared for an invasion. Large-scale military exercises would be held from mid-April to August, with troops practicing knocking down Chinese missiles and fighting communist commandos, said Taiwan's Defence Ministry spokesperson Liu Chih-chien. Mainland lawmakers immediately expressed support for the anti-secession measure, which is sure to be passed when they vote March 14. The NPC routinely approves all legislation already decided by Communist Party leaders. \"We must join hands and absolutely not allow Taiwan to separate from China,\" said Chang Houchun, a businessman and NPC member from southern China's Guangdong province. Chinese officials say the law was prompted in part by Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian's plans for a referendum on a new constitution for the island that Beijing worries might include a declaration of independence. China and Taiwan have no official ties and most direct travel and shipping between the two sides is banned. But Taiwanese companies have invested more than $100bn in the mainland and the two sides carry on thriving indirect trade. In an apparent attempt to calm Taiwanese public anxiety, Wang said the law promises that Chinese military forces would try to avoid harming Taiwanese civilians. He said the rights of Taiwanese on China's mainland also would be protected.\nDiscussion Forums | Newsletters | Photo Galleries | Earlier stories", "url": "http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1673127,00.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20050407211456/http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1673127,00.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "MarketWatch: Stock Market News", "text": "J.C.

REUTERS/Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency/Handout\nThe Malaysian flagged MT Bunga Kelana 3 was carrying about 62,000 tonnes of light crude oil, the country’s coast guard said.\nSingapore port authorities said the spill measured about 4 kilometers by 1 kilometer and was located 6 kilometers south of Singapore’s southeastern tip at 2:20 p.m. local time.\nSingapore and Malaysia activated oil-spill response companies and a clean-up operation involving 20 craft was under way. There were no reports of injuries among the 50 crew members.\nThe incident happened in the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) of the Singapore Strait, 13 kilometers (8 miles) from the tip of the island nation, the city-state’s Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said.\nThe spill, equivalent to about 18,000 barrels, is dwarfed by the approximately 175,000 barrels of oil that has poured into the Gulf of Mexico since the deadly April 20 offshore explosion that sank the Deepwater Horizon rig.\nIt was less than a tenth the size of Singapore’s worst such oil spill since the MPA was created. As much as 29,000 tonnes of heavy marine fuel oil leaked into Singapore waters from the tanker Evoikos in 1997 after it collided with the Orapin Global tanker.\n“This is a relatively small amount in the general scheme of things, and it is not like the Gulf of Mexico, which is continuing to leak,” said Victor Shum from oil consultancy Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.\n“If it is contained within an oil retaining booms, it may not disrupt shipping traffic. There is no comparison. That one has really no limit at this stage.”\nIn terms of the impact of Singapore’s spill on the environment, Shum said: “I think certainly the concerns are there. Even if it is contained, it will take some time to clean up.” The 1997 Evoikos spill took three weeks to clean up.\nSingapore and Malaysia were applying oil dispersants and containment booms for the clean up, MPA said.\nAbout 40 percent of global trade passes through the Malacca Strait between Malaysia and Indonesia’s Sumatra. Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering port and Asia’s top oil-trading hub, lies at the southeastern end of the waterway.\nThe collision was between the tanker and the MV Waily, a bulk carrier registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines, which suffered minor damage, the Malaysian coast guard said. Both vessels are anchored away from the incident’s site.\n10-METER GASH\nThe collision caused a 10-meter gash on the left side of the tanker, the coast guard said. The vessel was carrying Bintulu condensate and light crude, said Paul Lovell, head of corporate communications at AET Tanker Holdings Sdn Bhd.\nAET, which owns and manages the vessel, is a wholly owned subsidiary of transport and energy company MISC Bhd, a unit of Malaysian national oil firm Petronas.\n“She was carrying two types of cargo, some condensate and some very light crude, it was about 40 percent condensate and about 60 percent light crude on the vessel at the time of the incident,” Lovell said.\n“It looks as though the spill would have been from the very light crude, the exact amount I can’t tell you.” The spokesman could not say who owned the oil.\nMISC on its website lists the Bunga Kelana 3 as an Aframax class tanker built in 1998 with a dead weight tonnage of 105,784.

Speaking after a three-hour-meeting of the CNS, spokesman Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd said junta chief Sonthi Boonyaratglin would propose legal procedures to lift the ban to the Cabinet. The junta's Announcements No 15 and 27, issued shortly after the military coup in September last year, bar politicians from conducting any political activities and from setting up new political parties. \"We agreed to allow political parties to resume their activities in order to give them a chance to present themselves as political choices to the people ahead of the general election,\" Samsern said. The junta will not intervene in any political activities and will allow parties to have full political freedom, he added. \"We believe the people have sound political judgement. It's up to the parties to offer them attractive and useful policies,\" he said. Members of the Thai Rak Thai party might not benefit from the lifting of the ban as they won't be able to conduct political activities in the party's name following its dissolution by the Constitution Tribunal last week. Samsern said Sonthi would propose two legal alternatives for lifting the political ban: the Cabinet could either propose a bill to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), which would take time, or issue a resolution to lift the ban immediately. The decision will be left to the government and the National Legislative Assembly, Sansern said. A CNS official said that another option would be for at least 25 members of the NLA to propose a bill of their own to lift the CNS ban. Sonthi will append reports on the current political situation, including an assessment of the ongoing anti-junta protests, for the Cabinet to consider along with the proposal to lift the political ban. The junta has estimated that 10,000 people at most would join the anti-junta protest, Samsern said. He will also propose a campaign for the national referendum on the new constitution to the Cabinet, the spokesman said. The junta's move follows Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont's promise last week following the dissolution of the Thai Rak Thai that the ban on political activities might be lifted soon in order to improve the political atmosphere. Meanwhile, National Legislative Assembly speaker Meechai Ruchuphan warned yesterday that repealing Announcement No 27 would result in doing away with the five-year ban from elections handed down by the Constitution Tribunal. \"It's like issuing a new law that benefits the wrongdoers,\" said Meechai, a legal expert. Justice Minister Charnchai Likhitjittha said yesterday that an order issued by coup makers was tantamount to a law, so repealing one would require an Act to be passed, not simply a Cabinet resolution. \"To my understanding, the prime minister's statement that a Cabinet resolution could revoke the CDR announcement wasn't correct,\" he said, referring to the CNS by its former name - the Council for Democratic Reform. \"He probably meant that once the idea is approved by the Cabinet, it must be proposed to the National Legislative Assembly to revoke the announcement,\" Charnchai said, adding Surayud had not discussed the matter with him as yet. About 30 former Thai Rak Thai members led by Pongthep Thepkanchana yesterday called on the government to lift the political ban to enable them to register a new party. Also, political parties needed sufficient time to prepare for the general election scheduled for December, the group said. Pongthep insisted the appeal was made in the public interest rather than for the benefit of the 111 party executives who were banned from assuming political posts for five years. The group also submitted a petition to the Election Commission, asking it to cooperate with the government in lifting the ban.

Djordje Kuzmanovic membre du bureau national du Parti de Gauche et l’un des organisateurs de ce rassemblement, est ravi de l’ampleur prise par cet événement :\nLa Voix de la Russie : Comment s’est déroulée cette manifestation pour la paix en Ukraine, pour le dialogue et pour la désescalade des violences ?\nDjordje Kuzmanovic : Ca s’est très bien déroulé, à notre grande surprise, avec beaucoup plus de participants, que nous avions prévu, parce que c’est le premier rassemblement de ce type qu’on fait à Paris.\nLVdlR : Il y avait combien de personnes ?\nDjordje Kuzmanovic : De 350 à 400 environ. Pour un premier rassemblement et compte tenu du peu de couverture médiatique que nos positions peuvent avoir c’est assez intéressant et ça permet de poser un jalon et de préparer de futurs rassemblements.\nLVdlR : Quel était le message que vous vouliez passer principalement ?\nDjordje Kuzmanovic : Principalement c’est un message de paix en Ukraine et en particulier l’arrêt des attaques contre les civils de l’Est de l’Ukraine. Pour ce faire nous avions une grande demande, c’est une zone d’exclusion aérienne au dessus des villes de l’Est de l’Ukraine et également des corridors humanitaires pour que les civils puissent sortir et que la nourriture et les médicaments puissent être acheminés.\nLVdlR : Racontez-nous en un peu plus sur le rassemblement lui même, qui y participait ? Il y avait des Ukrainiens, des Russes, des Français ?\nDjordje Kuzmanovic : En majorité c’étaient des franco-russes, mais il y avait des Russes, des Ukrainiens et des Français tout simplement. Il y avait différentes organisations politiques, on avait des membres du Parti Communiste Français, des membres du Parti de Gauche et d’autres membres de partis plus à droite. On avait des citoyens non encartés et des associations, l’association France-Russie, l’association d’amitié France-Ukraine, plusieurs associations de ce type là.\nLVdlR : Vous, les organisateurs vous vous revendiquez d’un mouvement, d’un parti politique ?\nDjordje Kuzmanovic : Non, là on a fait un rassemblement citoyen, ce qui était compliqué à organiser puisqu’on a mis nos avis personnels de coté et on est arrivé à un texte, le plus acceptable pour tout le monde. Certains peuvent le trouver pas assez engagé mais il permet de rassembler largement autour de la thématique de la paix, de l’arrêt des combats, des corridors humanitaires et des zones d’exclusions aériennes. Maintenant chacun est dans des organisations politiques où on a des engagements qui sont différents, moi je suis dans le Parti de Gauche et nous avons une position sur l’Ukraine qui est très en opposition à l’OTAN, nous sommes pour la sortie de l’OTAN, donc on va plus loin sur certaines questions.\nLVdlR : Le futur de vos mouvements, comment ça va se passer ? Vous allez organiser d’autres manifestations à Paris ?\nDjordje Kuzmanovic :On va organiser bientôt une conférence débat, on a quelques personnalités dont on attend la réponse et va attendre de voir quelles vont être les évolutions sur le terrain et si il y a de quelconques négociations qui se mettent en place entre le gouvernement et les forces autonomistes de l’Est de l’Ukraine. En fonction de ce qui se passe, on réagira en fonction des circonstances. S’il y a une vraie volonté du gouvernement à Kiev d’organiser quelque chose qui tend vers la paix, on soutiendra et si ce n’est pas le cas on fera d’autres manifestations en soutien à la population civile à l’Est de l’Ukraine. /N", "url": "http://french.ruvr.ru/radio_broadcast/no_program/273838460/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20140627204915/http://french.ruvr.ru/radio_broadcast/no_program/273838460/" }, { "language": "fr", "title": "Rassemblement contre la guerre en Ukraine à Paris", "text": "Quoi? Un rassemblement contre la guerre en Ukraine à Paris\nQui? Organisateurs : citoyens français, russes et ukrainiens, collectifs « Russie-France : Secours d’urgence », « Dialogue russo-ukrainien ».\nQuand ? Le 22 juin à 12h\nOù ? Place de la République, Paris\nAppel diffusés par les organisateurs du rassemblement contre la guerre en Ukraine à Paris:\nLa guerre en Ukraine continue.\nLa population civile de l’Ukraine de l’Est en paie le principal tribut. Les morts se comptent désormais par centaines, des dizaines de milliers de personnes ont été contraintes à quitter leurs maisons, les infrastructures des villes assiégées sont systématiquement détruites lors des combats par les tirs d’artillerie et les frappes aériennes.\nChaque nouveau jour de guerre rajoute de nouveaux noms à la liste de morts, chaque nouveau jour de guerre attise la haine.\nNous faisons face à une nouvelle catastrophe humanitaire en Europe.\nL’Europe est à nouveau confrontée à des crimes de guerre. Les zones où la violence armée s’exerce s’étendent. L’ultranationalisme est exacerbé. La propagation des armes est massive, que ce soit des armes légères ou des missiles sol-air ; cela ne peut conduire qu’à une extension du banditisme et du terrorisme dans toute la région. Tous ces facteurs font planer la menace d’une intensification de la guerre.\nDevant ce drame, nous considérons que les peuples de Russie, d’Ukraine et des autres pays d’Europe doivent se prononcer pour une sortie de la crise pacifique privilégiant le dialogue plutôt que les armes.\nTelle est la motivation principale de notre rassemblement. Il se tiendra un jour symbolique pour tous les habitants de l’espace post-soviétique – le 22 juin, jour de deuil, car jour du lancement de l’invasion nazie de l’URSS. Cette nouvelle phase de la 2ème guerre mondiale entraîna la mort de 27 millions de Soviétiques.\nNous considérons dès lors indispensable de :\n- Soutenir les forces politiques et sociales qui agissent aujourd’hui en Ukraine et en Russie en faveur de l’arrêt des hostilités et d’appeler la société civile française et européenne à leur assurer tout le soutien nécessaire dans cette tâche immense.\n- Exiger du gouvernement français, des autres pays européens et des Etats-Unis de se prononcer pour une solution pacifique à la crise en appelant à l’arrêt immédiat des combats.\n- Appeler les médias européens, russes et ukrainiens à une couverture plus objective et suivie de la crise ukrainienne.\n- Se prononcer pour l’organisation d’enquêtes internationales permettant d’établir les responsabilités dans les crimes de guerre commis en ce moment même ainsi que ceux ayant conduit au déclanchement de la guerre que ce soit sur le Maïdan, à Odessa ou dans les régions de l’est de l’Ukraine.\nAux belligérants, nous demandons de :\n- Conclure un cessez-le-feu immédiatement. Il est nécessaire d’arrêter les combats, et avant tout d’exiger l’arrêt des frappes aériennes et des tirs d’artillerie aveugles contre des villes et des villages de l’Est ukrainien. A cette fin nous demandons aux Etats européens, à la France et à l’Allemagne en premier lieu, d’exiger une zone d’exclusion aérienne au-dessus des villes ukrainiennes. Enfin, les troupes doivent s’éloigner des zones de peuplement de civils.\n- Créer des couloirs humanitaires permettant l’évacuation des civils et l’acheminement de l’aide humanitaire et médicale dans les zones de combat.\n- Accepter la présence d’observateurs internationaux qui feront respecter les conditions d’un cessez-le-feu et la présence des ONGs pour procurer l’aide aux populations civiles.\n- Commencer les pourparlers sur la sortie politique de la crise, avec l’aide des médiateurs reconnus par toutes les parties du conflit.\n- Faire baisser l’hystérie nationaliste et la propagande de guerre dans les médias.\nNous invitons à participer à notre rassemblement tous les gens de bonne volonté qui n’acceptent pas la violence comme moyen de résolution des crises, les nationalismes et le militarisme. Nous espérons que tous ensemble nous pourrons faire revivre les valeurs humanistes intangibles qui nous permettront de sortir de cette crise : le droit à la vie, le dialogue, la solidarité, la paix.\nContacts: Mail : Russie_Ukraine_Dialogue@yahoo.fr\nFacebook : https://www.facebook.com/events/682007078502292/\nОбъяснения организаторов митинга против войны в Украине в Париже:\nЧто? Митинг против войны в Украине\nКто? Французские, российские, украинские граждане и активисты, коллектив «Россия-Франция: скорая помощь», коллектив «Русско-украинский диалог».\nКогда? 22 июня 2014 , 12.00.\nГде? Париж, площадь Республики\nВойна в Украине продолжается.\nПогибшие исчисляются уже сотнями, тысячи людей стали беженцами. Мирное население востока Украины несет тяжелые потери. Каждый новый день войны добавляет новые имена к списку погибших, каждый новый день войны все больше разжигает ненависть. На постсоветском пространстве возникла новая зона гуманитарной катастрофы, очаг вооруженного насилия и ультранационализма. Идет массовое расползание оружия (не только стрелкового, но и зенитных ракет) с перспективой распространения бандитизма и терроризма. Угроза выхода войны на еще более тяжелый, межгосударственный уровень – более чем реальна.\nЕвропа стоит перед лицом новой гуманитарной катастрофы.\nВ этой ситуации мы считаем, что народы России, Украины и других стран должны решительно высказаться за выход из кризиса через мирный диалог, а не через продолжение военных действий.\nЭтому будет посвящен наш митинг, который мы собираем в символическую для всех жителей постсоветского пространства дату – 22 июня, день скорби, день начала Отечественной войны (1941-1945), унесшей более 27 миллионов жизней граждан СССР.\nМы считаем необходимым :\n- Поддержать политические и общественные силы, выступающие в Украине и России за прекращение войны и призвать гражданское общество Франции и Европы оказать им всемерную поддержку.\n- Потребовать у правительства Франции и других правительств стран ЕС высказаться в поддержку мирного разрешения кризиса в Украине и немедленное прекращение военных действий.\n- Призвать европейские, украинские и российские масс-медиа к более объективному освещению событий в Украине.\n- Призвать к проведению независимого международного расследования для установления ответственности за военные преступления и действия, приведшие к войне, включая события на Майдане в Киеве, в Одессе и на востоке Украины.\nМы хотим также высказать наши требования к воюющим сторонам:\n- Немедленно заключить перемирие и прекратить военные действия, в первую очередь – авиационные и артиллерийские обстрелы жилых кварталов населенных пунктов Донецкой и Луганской областей, отвести вооруженные подразделения от линии противостояния. Поэтому мы настаиваем на создании над территориями Луганской и Донецкой областей бесполетной зоны.\n- Создать гуманитарные коридоры для эвакуации мирного населения и обеспечения доставки медицинской помощи, медикаментов и продовольствия для мирного населения в зоне военных действий\n- Допустить межгосударственные организации и НГО, в том числе международные, для оказания помощи мирному населению и надзора за соблюдением условий перемирия.\n- Начать переговоры о мирном политическом разрешении кризиса в Украине, с привлечением посредников, признанных всеми сторонами конфликта.\n- Принять меры по снижению националистической истерии и пропаганды в СМИ.\nМы призываем к участию в нашей акции всех людей доброй воли, всех, кто не приемлет шовинизм, милитаризм, насилие как средство разрешения конфликтов. Мы будем благодарны вам за сотрудничество и распространение информации о нашем выступлении и надеемся, что совместными усилиями мы сможем вернуться к вечным ценностям, которые помогут прекратить конфликт – право на жизнь, диалог, солидарность, взаимопомощь, мир.\nКонтакты: Russie_Ukraine_Dialogue@yahoo.fr\nFacebook : https://www.facebook.com/events/682007078502292/", "url": "http://www.lecourrierderussie.com/2014/06/rassemblement-guerre-ukraine-paris/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20140626015305/http://www.lecourrierderussie.com/2014/06/rassemblement-guerre-ukraine-paris/" }, { "language": "ru", "title": "Акции протеста против войны на Украине прошли сразу в нескольких европейских столицах", "text": "Акции протеста против войны на Украине прошли сразу в нескольких европейских столицах\nСотни жителей Праги, среди которых были политики и общественные деятели, выступили за немедленное прекращение насилия.

But before that, as it crosses the asteroid belt, Rosetta will grab the opportunity to study asteroid Steins during a fly-by in September 2008.\nby Staff Writers\nParis, France (ESA) Nov 14, 2007\nAn important milestone has just been accomplished as Rosetta successfully swung by Earth at 21:57 CET. The spacecraft will now be catapulted towards the outer Solar System with its newly-gained energy before coming back to Earth for another boost.\nAs mission operators waited for the fully automated manoeuvre to be carried out, Rosetta flew directly above 63 46' south and 74 35' west, at 21:57 CET (above the Pacific ocean, south-west of Chile). Rosetta whizzed past 5295 km overhead, at a velocity of 45 000 km/h (12.5 km/s). Europe's comet chaser has now flown a little over 3 thousand million km of its 7.1 thousand-million-km journey on its way to its destination comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This was the third planetary swing-by for Rosetta and its second swing-by of Earth.\nScience close to Earth\nAround closest approach, Rosetta took a good look at Earth for observations of its atmosphere and magnetosphere, imaged urban regions, and looked for meteors from space. Shortly before midnight, Rosetta will turn to observe the Moon until about 11:00 CET tomorrow, 14 November. Following this, on 15, 16, 18 and 20 November, Rosetta will observe the Earth-Moon system from a distance, on its outbound trajectory.\nScientists are now eagerly awaiting some of the first data to become available during the course of the night.\nRosetta will be back in our neighbourhood, and will swing by Earth for the last time in November 2009. But before that, as it crosses the asteroid belt, Rosetta will grab the opportunity to study asteroid Steins during a fly-by in September 2008.\nTune in early tomorrow morning: we will be publishing pictures and results as soon as they become available, throughout the day on 14 November.", "url": "http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Rosetta_Swing_By_A_Success_999.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071217084339/http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Rosetta_Swing_By_A_Success_999.html" } ]

Em uma ocasião, um menino disse que gostaria de ser astronauta e o duque respondeu: \"Nunca poderá voar, está muito gordo\".\nÀ ativista paquistanesa Malala Yousafzai, que quase morreu em um ataque dos talibãs por defender o direito de educação das meninas, disse que \"os pais enviam as crianças para a escola porque não as querem em casa\".\nAo ser questionado se gostaria de visitar a União Soviética, respondeu: \"Eu gostaria muito de ir à Rússia, mas os bastardos assassinaram metade da minha família\" (em referência ao destino dos Romanov).\nA um professor de auto-escola escocês, o príncipe perguntou: \"Como você faz para manter os nativos suficientemente longe da bebida para aprová-los no exame?\"\nApesar de tudo, ganhou a simpatia dos britânicos com o trabalho de incentivador de quase 800 organizações.\nCasamento sólido\nElizabeth e Philip casaram-se no dia 20 de novembro de 1947. Eles se conheceram em 1939, quando Philip da Grécia tinha 18 anos e a então princesa, 13. A futura rainha, apelidada de\n\"Lilibet\", contou mais tarde que sentiu amor à primeira vista pelo louro alto de olhos azuis. Ele, por sua vez, nunca confessou se o sentimento foi recíproco.\n\"É a atração dos opostos: ela é séria, tímida, introvertida; ele, ao contrário, gosta de gente e da vida social, sendo muito divertido. Enfim, se complementam\", assinalou Marc Roche, autor da biografia \"A última rainha\".\nCom a prematura morte do rei George VI, Elizabeth subiu ao trono aos 25 anos. Philip tornou-se príncipe consorte, à sombra da esposa; foi até obrigado a mudar o sobrenome, Mountbatten, porque, segundo Winston Churchill, soava muito alemão, numa época de guerra.\n\"O príncipe Philip é o único homem em todo o mundo que trata a rainha como um simples ser humano\", contou certa vez o ex-secretário privado de Elizabeth II, Lord Charteris. \"É o único que se pode permitir. E isso agrada a ela\", acrescentou.\nA solidez da \"associação\" que formaram contribuiu, em boa medida, para a estabilidade da monarquia britânica nas últimas seis décadas.", "url": "https://g1.globo.com/mundo/noticia/2021/04/09/principe-philip-morre-aos-99.ghtml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210409111130/https://g1.globo.com/mundo/noticia/2021/04/09/principe-philip-morre-aos-99.ghtml" }, { "language": "pt", "title": "Morreu o príncipe Philip, duque de Edimburgo", "text": "O duque de Edimburgo, marido da rainha Isabel II, morreu esta sexta-feira, dia 9 de abril, segundo avança a Casa Real.

Após o rei Constantino I da Grécia, tio de Philip, ter sido obrigado a abdicar do trono do seu país em setembro de 1922, a família viveu no exílio e o duque de Edimburgo passou a infância e juventude em França, Inglaterra, na Alemanha e na Escócia, países onde fez a sua formação académica. Juntou-se à Marinha Real Britânica em 1939, tendo servido na Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nesse ano conheceu a então princesa Isabel durante uma visita à Escola Naval de Dartmouth. Reza a história que os dois já se tinham encontrado uma vez, cinco anos antes, no casamento da duquesa de Kent, numa altura em que Isabel era ainda muito nova (teria apenas oito anos).\nDepois da guerra, em 1946, pediu a mão de Isabel em casamento ao rei Jorge VI. O noivado foi anunciado no ano seguinte e o enlace aconteceria a 20 de novembro de 1947, na Abadia de Westminster, perante cerca de dois mil convidados, tendo sido também transmitido pela rádio.\nA 6 de fevereiro de 1952 morre o rei Jorge VI e a princesa Isabel sobe ao trono, com o nome de Isabel II. A coroação aconteceu a 2 de junho de 1953 e Philip tornou-se, então, príncipe consorte, título que manteve até à sua morte, passando a ter o tratamento de Sua Alteza Real, o Príncipe Philip, Duque de Edimburgo. Para sempre ficará imortalizada a frase “Sou o único homem no país que não pode dar o seu nome aos próprios filhos”, proferida quando a rainha tomou a decisão de manter a casa real com o nome de Casa de Windsor, pelo qual é conhecida até aos dias de hoje.\nO casal real teve quatro filhos. A 14 de novembro de 1948 nasce o príncipe Carlos, herdeiro do trono, e dois anos depois a ainda princesa Isabel e o príncipe Philip dão as boas-vindas à única filha mulher, Ana, que adquiriu o título de Princesa Real quando a mãe subiu ao trono. Dez anos mais tarde, em 1960, nasce o príncipe André, duque de York, e em 1964 a rainha e o duque voltam a ser pais de outro menino, Eduardo, conde de Wessex.\nAo longo da sua vida, Philip serviu a Coroa Britânica não só em muitos atos a solo, mas também ao lado da rainha Isabel II, participando em cerimónias de Abertura do Parlamento, receções oficiais e viagens de Estado. Em maio de 2017, prestes a completar 96 anos, o palácio de Buckingham anunciava que o príncipe se iria retirar da vida pública a partir do outono desse mesmo ano, um anúncio algo repentino e que, na época, gerou especulações por parte dos britânicos sobre o estado de saúde do duque.\nJá retirado da vida pública, o duque de Edimburgo voltou a ser notícia mais recentemente, em janeiro de 2019, quando se viu envolvido num aparatoso acidente de viação, depois de o carro que conduzia, um jipe Land Rover Freelander, ter colidido com outro veículo e capotado. Apesar do susto, o marido da rainha saiu ileso e os ocupantes da outra viatura sofreram apenas ferimentos ligeiros.\nDe recordar que o duque de Edimburgo esteve recentemente internado um mês, tendo dado entrada no hospital King Edward VII no passado dia 16 de fevereiro, por ordem do seu médico, como medida de precaução, depois de se ter sentido mal. Mais tarde, a 1 de março, foi transferido para o Saint Bartolomew’s Hospital, para prosseguir com o tratamento, tendo sido operado ao coração no dia 4. Dias mais tarde regressou à primeira unidade de saúde onde esteve internado, de onde teve alta a 16 de março\nNo vídeo, recorde a infância atribulada do príncipe Philip.", "url": "https://caras.sapo.pt/realeza/2021-04-09-morreu-o-principe-philip-duque-de-edimburgo/#&gid=0&pid=1", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210423043600/https://caras.sapo.pt/realeza/2021-04-09-morreu-o-principe-philip-duque-de-edimburgo/#&gid=0&pid=1" } ]

Korea bars inspectors from nuclear plant\nWASHINGTON: North Korea's move to resume the reprocessing of plutonium, perhaps as soon as next week, left the country on the verge of restarting a nuclear weapons program whose shutdown had been portrayed by the White House as a significant diplomatic achievement.\nSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday that the United States still hoped to preserve a hard-won agreement that called for the North to dismantle its nuclear reactor. But North Korea has refused to resume talks, and no new ones are planned.\nThe International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna announced Wednesday that North Korea had barred international inspectors from a reprocessing plant at its nuclear reactor complex in Yongbyon. The agency said that North Korea, which tested its first nuclear device in 2006 and is believed to have enough plutonium for at least six nuclear bombs, intended to resume production of nuclear weapons-grade fuel there within a week.\nWhile reversible in theory, any resumption of nuclear work would violate the terms of the agreement, which was announced with fanfare in June and solidified, it appeared, by North Korea's public demolition of a cooling tower at Yongbyon.\nNorth Korea's actions have at best returned negotiations to where they stood months ago, leaving little time for a resolution before the next American administration takes office in January.\nSenior Bush administration officials said Wednesday that they believed that North Korea was engaging in transparent brinkmanship to extract concessions as the United States sought to cement the country's commitment to give up its nuclear weapons with a strict and intrusive verification system.\n\"They don't have a lot of ways to get leverage, and this is one of them,\" one Bush administration official who was involved in the negotiations said of North Korea's move. The official, like others interviewed for this article, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatic efforts and internal administration assessments.\nNorth Korea's actions are likely to provide fodder to conservative critics of the administration, who say that North Korea has no intention of giving up its nuclear program and that it is blackmailing the United States and its negotiating partners to subsidize North Korea's failing economy.\nBut its elaborately choreographed violation of the agreement in publicly announced steps over the past few weeks could also be part of a tough negotiating stance that North Korea feels is necessary to obtain the security guarantees and financial aid the country was promised as part of the nuclear accord.\nNorth Korea's negotiators have strenuously complained that the Bush administration has yet to fulfill its promise to remove North Korea from a list of state sponsors of terrorism, as President George W. Bush announced in June that he was prepared to do, and instead has made new demands.\nThose include requiring North Korea to accept the verification system before the United States would carry out reciprocal steps, a condition that a senior administration official acknowledged was not put in writing.\n\"It is, I think, more serious than just brinkmanship on the part of the North Koreans,\" said Charles Pritchard, a former ambassador and special envoy for talks with North Korea who is now president of the Korean Economic Institute in Washington. \"They're trying to recoup what they've given away for nothing, from their point of view.\"\nIf North Korea follows through, it would be the second time the country resumed production of the material for nuclear weapons during Bush's time in office. In acting now, when the White House is already consumed with a financial crisis, North Korea may be adopting a strategy similar to one it employed at the beginning of 2003, when it restarted its nuclear program just as the United States was preparing to invade Iraq.\nComplicating the matter is uncertainty over the health of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-il, who administration officials said Wednesday had a stroke last month that debilitated him physically and possibly mentally. That has raised concerns that hard-liners may be acting forcefully to demonstrate that North Korea faces no leadership crisis during Kim's illness.\nAmerican and European officials, trying to assess the seriousness of the North Korean intentions, noted that so far, experts who have been overseeing the dismantling of North Korea's nuclear program, including some Americans, had not yet been expelled from the country. \"We don't see the tensions on the ground,\" the senior administration official said.\nThe reprocessing plant, which turns spent nuclear fuel rods into weapons-grade plutonium, is the most secret part of the Yongbyon nuclear complex. Its reactivation would be significant, even though the main reactor has been partly dismantled under the agreement.", "url": "http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/25/asia/25korea.php", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080925185343/http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/25/asia/25korea.php" }, { "language": "en", "title": "IAEA Removes Seals from Plant in Yongbyon", "text": "IAEA Press Releases\nPress Release 2008/13\nIAEA Removes Seals from Plant in Yongbyon\n24 September 2008 | Following is a statement to the media by IAEA Spokesperson Melissa Fleming on the situation in the DPRK:\n\"As the Director General reported to the Board on Monday, the Democratic People´s Republic of Korea, the DPRK, asked the IAEA to remove seals and surveillance from the reprocessing plant in Yongbyon.\nThis work was completed today.

Trotzdem wird sie nun von der Grünen-Chefin kritisiert: Es stelle sich die Frage nach der Verhältnis- und Rechtmäßigkeit, „wenn insgesamt rund 1000 Personen alleine aufgrund ihres Aussehens überprüft und teilweise festgesetzt wurden“, sagte Simone Peter.\nMir stellen sich angesichts dieser Äußerung auch ein paar Fragen: In welcher Welt leben Sie eigentlich, Frau Peter? Wo waren Sie in der ersten Januarwoche des vergangenen Jahres, als immer mehr schockierende Schilderungen von Frauen bekannt wurden, denen auf der Domplatte an die Brüste und zwischen die Beine gefasst worden war, deren Röcke hochgeschoben und denen zum Teil Finger in die Scheide eingeführt wurden?\nUnd wo waren Sie, als die Ermittler die Schilderungen der Opfer und Zeugen bestätigten, wonach es sich bei den Tatverdächtigen vor allem um Männer nordafrikanischen und arabischen Aussehens handelte? Die meisten Verdächtigen stammen aus Nordafrika.\nBedeutet das, dass alle Männer aus Nordafrika widerliche Grapscher sind? Natürlich nicht! Bedeutet es, dass Nordafrikaner in Köln nicht Silvester feiern dürfen? Auch nicht. Es bedeutet jedoch, dass es geradezu die Pflicht der Polizei ist, besonders aufmerksam zu sein, wenn Personen aus dieser Gruppe in großer Menge auf den Domplatz drängen. Denn so fing es auch 2015 an.\nWas sonst sollen die Beamten vor Ort tun?\nLaut Bundespolizei kamen am vergangenen Samstagabend mehr als 1000 „fahndungsrelevante Personen“ allein zum Hauptbahnhof. Grünen-Chefin Peter stört sich daran, dass die Personen „alleine aufgrund ihres Aussehens“ überprüft wurden. Das stimmt so nicht. So betonte der Kölner Polizeipräsident Jürgen Mathies, dass es vor allem um das Verhalten der Männer gegangen sei: „Der ganz überwiegende Teil war so, dass mit drohenden Straftaten zu rechnen war.“\nWas können die Beamten vor Ort denn tun? Sich die Silvestergäste anschauen und ihr Verhalten beobachten. Wenn ihnen jemand verdächtig vorkommt, reagieren sie. Nicht etwa, indem sie jeden wegsperren, dessen Gesicht ihnen nicht passt. Erstmal fragen die Beamten schlicht, was die Person denn vorhat. Besteht dann noch Zweifel an der Redlichkeit der Absichten, erfolgt eine Personenüberprüfung.\nDie Polizei rechnete viele der Anwesenden jener „Klientel zu, die im vorigen Jahr diese großen Probleme gemacht hat“, sagte ein Sprecher.

Tsvangirai was briefly arrested during his campaigning after police said they had not sanctioned his campaign. (AP Photo/Tsvangirayi Mukwazhi)\nAll Zimbabwe opposition rallies banned\nHARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Just three weeks before Zimbabwe's presidential runoff, Robert Mugabe is giving the opposition little room to campaign — detaining its candidate, banning rallies and attacking diplomats who try to investigate political violence.\nEven food is being used as a weapon, American and British officials said, with a ban on aid agencies ensuring that the poorest Zimbabweans must turn to Mugabe for help even if they blame him for the collapse of the economy. The government denied the allegations.\nOpposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai out-polled Mugabe and two other candidates in the first round of voting March 29, but did not get the simple majority necessary to avoid a runoff. In recent days, it has become increasingly clear that Mugabe does not plan to let Tsvangirai come close to toppling him in the June 27 runoff.\nTsvangirai tried to campaign around Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second-largest city, on Friday, but he was stopped at two roadblocks. At the second, he was ordered to go to a police station about 30 miles from Bulawayo.\nAbout two hours later, he and reporters with him were allowed to leave the station. They drove back to Bulawayo under police escort.\nHis spokesman, George Sibotshiwe, said Tsvangirai was questioned by police for 25 minutes and was told that all party rallies in Zimbabwe had been banned indefinitely.\n\"We are dismayed that our president has not been allowed to access the Zimbabwean people at a crucial stage in this campaign,\" Sibotshiwe said.\nTsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change said police had banned its rallies out of concern for the safety of Tsvangirai and other party leaders. Sibotshiwe called the justification \"nonsense,\" and said the ban was \"a clear indication that the regime will do everything necessary to remain in power.\"\nPolice spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena said in an interview with The Associated Press that \"people are free to campaign as they choose,\" but he said Tsvangirai had consistently broken the law by failing to notify police of his rallies.\n\"For now, we are just warning him,\" Bvudzijena said, \"but sooner or later he might end up being arrested.\"\nTsvangirai left the country soon after the first round of voting, and his party has said he was the target of a military assassination plot. He has survived at least three previous attempts on his life. Tsvangirai returned to Zimbabwe in late May to campaign for the runoff.\nThe government-controlled media has focused on Mugabe and ZANU-PF, all but ignoring Tsvangirai's campaign, raising the question of whether Zimbabweans in isolated rural areas even know the opposition leader has returned.\nTsvangirai's party, blaming state agents, says at least 60 of its supporters have been killed in the past two months.\nThe latest setback for Tsvangirai came as U.N. aid agencies said they were deeply concerned that Zimbabwe has ordered aid groups to halt operations. Millions of Zimbabweans depend on international groups for food, medicine and other aid as the economy crumbles. Without the private agencies, impoverished Zimbabweans will be dependent on the government and Mugabe's party, both of which distribute food and other aid.\nU.S. Ambassador James McGee said Zimbabwean authorities were now supplying food mostly to Mugabe supporters. In a videoconference to reporters in Washington from Harare, McGee said the U.S. Embassy has evidence that the government is offering food to opposition members only if they turn in identification that would allow them to vote.\nState Department spokesman Sean McCormack referred to the tactics that McGee described as \"a vicious attempt to use food as a political weapon.\"\nAt the United Nations, Zimbabwe Ambassador Boniface Chidyauskiku denied those charges.\n\"There is no use of food as a political weapon. It is the other way around. It is the relief agencies, followed by the U.S. government, that have been using food as a political weapon,\" Chidyauskiku told the AP.\n\"They have gone out into the countryside and they have been telling Zimbabweans that if you don't vote for the opposition, if you don't change your vote, there's no food for you,\" he said. \"So it is the United States using food as a political weapon to effect a regime change in Zimbabwe. This is why we have suspended the activity.\"\nOn Thursday, aid groups in Zimbabwe were sent a memorandum from social welfare minister Nicholas Goche ordering an indefinite suspension of field work.\nAid deliveries to more than 4 million people in the country will be severely hampered by the decision, said Elisabeth Byrs, a spokeswoman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. More than half of Zimbabwe's population lives on less than $1 a day and life expectancy is only 35 years, according to the U.N.\nU.N. agencies generally carry out their operations in the country with the help of other aid groups, Byrs said.\n\"These restrictions are also coming at a time when food security in Zimbabwe is deteriorating, leaving an increasing number of people vulnerable,\" she said.\nPoor rain recently has increased the risk of drought, and farmers lack seeds, Byrs said.\nGoche's memorandum to the United Nations and other aid groups did not mention government claims that aid was distributed to favored recipients or opposition supporters, or that civic and human rights groups registered as voluntary organizations were campaigning against Mugabe.\nEarlier this week, the aid organization CARE International said it had been ordered to halt operations pending an investigation of allegations it was campaigning for the opposition. CARE denies the allegation.\nByrs said the suspension of CARE's activities alone would immediately affect half a million Zimbabweans.\nOn Thursday, a group of often violent Mugabe loyalists waylaid a convoy of U.S. and British diplomats investigating political violence, beating a local staffer, slashing tires and threatening to burn the envoys, the U.S. Embassy said.\nMugabe frequently accuses Britain and the United States of plotting to topple him and return Zimbabwe to colonial rule.\nMugabe has led Zimbabwe since independence from Britain in 1980 and was once hailed as a liberator who promoted racial reconciliation and economic empowerment.\nBut he has been accused of clinging to power through election fraud and intimidation, and of destroying his country's economy through the seizure of white-owned farms.\nCarolyn Norris, an Africa specialist at Human Rights Watch, called the move against aid groups part of an \"extreme campaign of violence and torture\" for people who voted for Tsvangirai's party.\n\"We don't know if this will convince people to vote\" for Mugabe, Norris said, adding Zimbabwe's population \"seems determined to vote how it wants to.\"\nTsvangirai also said he expected Mugabe's crackdown to backfire, saying Thursday: \"If Mugabe did not hear the voice in March, he's going to hear a much louder voice that people no longer enjoy their confidence in this government.\"\nAssociated Press writers John Heilprin at the United Nations and Eliane Engeler in Geneva contributed to this report.", "url": "http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i4kT7pJlnuzY_vpKdTACcQYIPcvQD914PTAG0", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080609072128/http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i4kT7pJlnuzY_vpKdTACcQYIPcvQD914PTAG0" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Zimbabwe aid ban puts many in peril", "text": "By Farai Sevenzo\nHarare\nBasic foods are fast becoming beyond the reach of even those with jobs In the week in which world leaders met in Rome to discuss an ongoing global food crisis, will Zimbabwe's own food crisis be exacerbated by the announcement that aid groups and non-governmental organisations should stop operations at once and re-apply for their permits? Put together the facts - a recurring poor harvest of basic cereals like maize and wheat; persistent droughts; a farming infrastructure which has been in renewal or chaos; economic inflation beating even the projected figures - and you can see that this country is seriously in need of the kind of assistance these groups have been told to stop providing. And there are many of them, all channelling food for the needy throughout Zimbabwe from the UN, the World Food Programme (WFP) and elsewhere.

No-one will talk for fear of jeopardising access to people who still need help\nUSAid doctor The country directors of these organisations have become strangely reticent on the nature of their work, who they are feeding and where.

Zimbabwe's government said aid agencies were helping the opposition Aid in Zimbabwe's case encompasses hospitals and their medicines, the care of orphans, Aids, schools, water and the search for it in the shadow of drought. And while undertaking all these tasks, it is the government's contention that medics are neglecting polio immunisation programmes in favour of distributing MDC campaign matter. Large parts of the countryside have become inaccessible to the media and to international agencies as roadblocks controlled by pro-government militias have sprung up. Opposition supporters have meanwhile lost relatives and limbs in a post-election campaign of incredible brutality. The Red Cross had begun to treat the victims, many of whom have horrific injuries. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. USAid had been distributing tents in areas as far afield as Mhondoro. The handing out of basic foodstuffs like cooking oil and maize meal was many residents' only lifeline. Late on Thursday evening, a moneychanger sent a text around to his usual clients: \"110 million to the US.\" The implications of this are enormous for the 80% of Zimbabwe's population that is unemployed - everything is pegged to a currency industrialists can believe in. Bread, flour, maize meal, cooking oil are fast becoming beyond the reach of the workers with jobs, and impossible for the millions still waiting to harvest their crops.

He blamed the attack on Mugabe's government, which it accuses of trying to intimidate supporters of the MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, ahead of the June 27 run-off.\n\"Now what they are trying to do is intimidate diplomats from travelling to the countryside to witness the violence being perpetrated against the population,\" McGee said. \"We do believe this is coming directly from the top.\"\nDiplomats are meant to have protection and immunity under the Vienna convention.\nEarlier, the South African government said Tsvangirai had been released by police following his arrest at a roadblock on Wednesday, after the intervention of the president, Thabo Mbeki.\nA spokesman for Mbeki said the MDC had contacted the Mbeki to tell him about the arrest. \"Immediately thereafter, president Mbeki contacted the Zimbabwean government and appealed to them to release Mr Tsvangirai,\" he said.\nMiliband said: \"The message that needs to go out today is a very strong one ... It's about two different visions for the future of Zimbabwe.\n\"It's very important that the international community plays its role by ensuring that for the election on June 27 there are international monitors, properly accredited, who are able to ensure that despite the ravages in Zimbabwe ... there is an election that allows the democratic will of the Zimbabwean people to be heard loud and to be heard clear.\"\nThe shadow foreign secretary, William Hague, condemned the diplomats' treatment. \"This is a flagrant breach of Zimbabwe's obligations, under international convention, to protect diplomatic staff on their territory.\"", "url": "http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/06/mugabe.aid", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080606235313/http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/06/mugabe.aid" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Zimbabwe opposition leader stopped again by police", "text": "Zimbabwe opposition leader stopped again by police\nHARARE (AFP) — Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was briefly stopped on Friday at a police checkpoint as he tried to attend a pre-election rally at a mine in the southwest of the country, a top aide said.\nTsvangirai and his entourage were held up for around 20 minutes close to How mine, near the southern city of Bulawayo, where he was scheduled to address supporters of his Movement for Democratic Change, party chairman Lovemore Moyo told AFP.\n\"One of our leading vehicles was stopped, then the rest of us were stopped as well.

Zugleich schlug der Republikaner am Freitag Sparmaßnahmen vor, um den angehäuften Schuldenberg von 19,9 Milliarden Dollar (14 Milliarden Euro) abzubauen. \"Da wir in ein neues Jahr budgetpolitischer Herausforderungen starten, müssen wir uns sofort auf die Prioritäten unseres Staates konzentrieren und vor allem an die Kalifornier denken\", erklärte Schwarzenegger und berief eine außerordentliche Parlamentssitzung ein. Kalifornien als reichster US-Staat leidet besonders stark unter der Immobilien- und Wirtschaftskrise.\nAlle Staatsausgaben müssten überprüft werden, forderte Schwarzenegger. Während etwa bei Gefängnissen insbesondere durch niedrigere Zuschüsse für die medizinische Versorgung der Häftlinge gespart werden solle, wolle er die Bildung jedoch von Einsparungen ausnehmen. Die Sparpläne des Gouverneurs sehen unter anderem vor, die Gehälter für Beschäftigte im öffentlichen Dienst um fünf Prozent zu kürzen und ihre Beitragszahlungen in ihre Pensionsfonds um fünf Prozent zu erhöhen. Im Gegenzug sollten die Staatsbediensteten ab 30. Juni ihre Arbeit wieder im vollen Umfang aufnehmen, schlug Schwarzenegger vor. Wegen der Wirtschaftskrise müssen sie seit vergangenen Jahr drei Tage pro Monat unbezahlten Urlaub nehmen.\nSchulden\nSchwarzenegger will außerdem 6,9 Milliarden Dollar (4,83 Mrd. Euro) von den US-Bundesbehörden zurückfordern, die diese Kalifornien schuldeten. Wenn sie nicht zahlten, müsse er die Ausgaben zur Gesundheitsversorgung von benachteiligten Kindern, armen Familien und psychisch Kranken kürzen. Außerdem müssten die Gehälter im öffentlichen Dienst dann um weitere fünf Prozent gesenkt werden, drohte der Gouverneur. Schwarzeneggers Sanierungsplan sieht aber auch die Aussetzung geplanter Steuererhöhungen im zweiten Halbjahr 2010 sowie die Senkung der Steuern auf Benzin vor.\nErst im vergangenen Jahr hatte Kalifornien in einer akuten Finanzkrise gesteckt und eine rigide Sparpolitik zum Abbau eines Defizits von 26 Milliarden beschlossen. Wenn Kalifornien ein eigenständiger Staat wäre, wäre er die achtgrößte Volkswirtschaft der Welt.

Im dritten Wahlgang erreichte Wulff 625 Stimmen und damit die absolute Mehrheit. Sein von SPD und Grünen aufgestellter Mitbewerber Joachim Gauck kam auf 494 Stimmen, 121 Delegierte enthielten sich. Damit erhielt Gauck 32 Stimmen mehr, als das rot-grüne Lager an Delegierten aufbot. Wulff, der unmittelbar nach der Verkündung des Ergebnisses sein Amt als Regierungschef in Hannover niederlegte, tritt die Nachfolge von Horst Köhler an.\nAnzeige\nDer gewählte Bundespräsident dankte in einer kurzen Ansprache seinem Amtsvorgänger und dem Kandidaten Gauck für einen \"fairen Wettbewerb um das Präsidentenamt\". Als eine Priorität seiner Amtszeit nannte er die innere Einheit des Landes. Er wünsche sich, dass die Deutschen \"aufeinander zugehen statt aneinander vorbei zu leben.\"\nGauck sagte nach der Wahl, er sei zuversichtlich, dass Wulff in seinem neuen Amt Erfolg haben werde. Er stünde dem neuen Bundespräsidenten \"selbstverständlich\" als Gesprächspartner zur Verfügung. Gauck selbst wolle weiterhin helfen, die Distanz zwischen Bürgern und Politikern zu verringern. \"Bleiben sie dran\", forderte er die Fernsehzuschauer zur politischen Teilhabe auf. Das Verhalten der Linkspartei nannte er ein \"trauriges Kapitel\".\nWulffs Wahl waren dramatische Stunden vorausgegangen. Der Kandidat von Union und FDP erreichte im ersten Wahlgang nur 600 Stimmen und verfehlte damit die in diesem Wahlgang erforderliche absolute Mehrheit von 623 Stimmen deutlich. Gauck kam auf 499 Stimmen, für die linke Kandidatin Luc Jochimsen stimmten 126 Delegierte – drei mehr, als die Linke Wahlleute hat. Der Kandidat der rechtsextremen NPD, Frank Rennicke, erhielt die drei Stimmen der NPD-Wahlleute.\nMehr zum Thema | |\nWeil die Regierungsparteien nominell über eine Mehrheit von 644 Wahlleuten verfügen – 44 schwarz-gelbe Wahlleute also nicht für Wulff stimmten – war das Ergebnis als Ohrfeige für die Bundesregierung gewertet worden.\nAuch im zweiten Wahlgang erreichte Wulff nicht die absolute Mehrheit. Nur 615 Delegierte stimmten für den bisherigen niedersächsischen Ministerpräsidenten. Gauck kam auf 490, Jochimsen auf 123 Stimmen.\nIm dritten Wahlgang, in dem die einfache Mehrheit zur Präsidentenkür reichte, war Gauck auf die Stimmen der Linken angewiesen. Zwischen SPD, Grünen und Linkspartei begannen nun intensive Verhandlungen. Schließlich verkündete Linken-Fraktionschef Gregor Gysi, seine Partei werde zwar ihre Kandidatin zurückziehen und die Abstimmung für die linken Delegierten freigeben, aber keine Empfehlung für Gauck aussprechen. Damit war für Wulff der Weg ins Schloss Bellevue frei.\nSPD-Chef Gabriel sagte nach der Wahl, es sei deutlich geworden, \"dass die Linkspartei sich nicht von ihrem SED- und Stasi-Erbe befreien konnte\".\nAus der Koalitionsspitze waren erleichterte Reaktionen zu hören. Die Kanzlerin sagte, die Wahl habe deutlich gemacht, dass hinter Christian Wulff \"eine große Mehrheit\" stünde, \"die er auch in der Bevölkerung finden wird\". Bundesaußenminister Guido Westerwelle (FDP) sprach von einem \"überzeugenden Vertrauensbeweis\" für Wulff. Die Wahl sei ein \"Lehrstück der Demokratie\" gewesen. Weniger begeistert war CSU-Chef Horst Seehofer, der sich \"dankbar\" zeigte, dass \"im dritten Wahlgang die Bedeutung dieser Versammlung von der Mehrheit der Versammelten erkannt wurde\".\nDie Wahl war nötig geworden, weil Köhler vor einem Monat überraschend zurückgetreten war, nachdem es heftige Kritik an seinen Interview-Äußerungen zu Afghanistan gegeben hatte. Er hatte darin für Kritiker den Eindruck erweckt, auch wirtschaftliche Gründe könnten einen Krieg rechtfertigen.\nLesen Sie hier mehr aus dem Ressort Deutschland.", "url": "http://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2010-06/wulff-neuer-bundespraesident", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100702060628/http://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2010-06/wulff-neuer-bundespraesident" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Bundespräsident Wulff lässt die Deutschen hoffen", "text": "Christian Wulff ist als Bundespräsident vereidigt. Zwei Drittel der Deutschen glauben, dass er seine Arbeit gut machen wird.\nvon Thomas Vitzthum\nChristian Wulff will ein Brückenbauer sein. In seiner ersten Rede nach der Wahl zum Bundespräsidenten sagte er: „Mir ist es wichtig, Verbindungen zu schaffen zwischen Jung und Alt, zwischen Menschen aus Ost und West, Einheimischen und Zugewanderten, Arbeitgebern, Arbeitnehmern und Arbeitslosen, Menschen mit und ohne Behinderung.“\nZuvor war Wulff durch Bundestagspräsident Norbert Lammert im Beisein der Vertreter beider deutscher Kammern vereidigt worden. Dabei benötigte er einen zweiten Anlauf. Wulff las aus der Urfassung des Grundgesetzes und vergaß in der Eidesformel das entscheidende Wörtchen „Ich“. Er stockte, entschuldigte sich und setzte noch einmal an.\nVideo weiter blättern Warum gibt es einen Bundespräsidenten?\nWährend seiner Ansprache hielt sich Wulff eng an das Manuskript.

Foto: REUTERS In seiner Antrittsrede unterstrich Wulff unter anderem die Bedeutung der Integration für Deutschland. Foto: dpa-infografik GmbH/DPA Wulff ist der zehnte Bundespräsident.\nEinen Schwerpunkt seiner Arbeit erkennt Wulff in der Integration der in Deutschland lebenden Ausländer und Menschen mit ausländischen Wurzeln. Er erinnerte an die erste türkischstämmige Ministerin Deutschlands, Aygül Özkan, die er im April zur Sozialministerin Niedersachsens gemacht hatte. Wulff mahnte an, dass jeder unabhängig von Herkunft und Wohlstand die gleichen Bildungschancen erhalten müsse. Die Deutschen müssten offen sein für die Zusammenarbeit mit allen Teilen der Welt. „Das können wir schon hier bei uns einüben, in unserer Bundesrepublik, in unserer bunten Republik Deutschland.“\nDer Amtseid Das sagt der Bundespräsident Die Formel für den Amtseid des Bundespräsidenten ist in Artikel 56 des Grundgesetzes festgelegt. Vor den versammelten Mitgliedern des Bundestages und des Bundesrates sagt das gewählte Staatsoberhaupt: „Ich schwöre, dass ich meine Kraft dem Wohle des deutschen Volkes widmen, seinen Nutzen mehren, Schaden von ihm wenden, das Grundgesetz und die Gesetze des Bundes wahren und verteidigen, meine Pflichten gewissenhaft erfüllen und Gerechtigkeit gegen jedermann üben werde. So wahr mir Gott helfe.“ Der Eid kann auch ohne die abschließende religiöse Beteuerung geleistet werden.\nÄhnlich wie sein Amtsvorgänger Horst Köhler sprach sich Wulff dafür aus, die Verursacher der Bankenkrise zur Verantwortung zu ziehen und die Finanzmärkte zu regulieren. Einen Kontrapunkt zu Köhler setzte Wulff, indem er die Politik ausdrücklich für ihre Arbeit lobte. „Die Parteien sind besser als ihr Ruf“, sagte er. Gerade die Reaktion der schwarz-gelben und der Großen Koalition auf die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise habe sich als richtig herausgestellt. Laut Wulff stünden die Situation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und die sich belebende Konjunktur dafür ein.\nHorst Köhler war bei der einstündigen Zeremonie dabei. Alle Redner dankten ihm und würdigten vor allem sein Engagement für Afrika. Köhler wirkte erschöpft und rang häufig mit den Tränen. Norbert Lammert erwähnte seine außerordentliche Beliebtheit in der Bevölkerung.\n1 von 6\nvon zurück blättern\nweiter blättern Die Bürger glauben an Christian Wulff Foto: Infratest dimap Der Deutschlandtrend Juli steht ganz im Zeichen der Bundespräsidentenwahl.

Nur für 35 Prozent wäre Gauck der bessere Präsident gewesen.\nDass Wulff drei Wahlgänge benötigte, um ins Amt zu gelangen, ist in den Augen der Bürger vor allem ein Problem von Kanzlerin Angela Merkel. 68 Prozent sprechen von einer Blamage und 62 Prozent sind überzeugt, dass die Koalition aus Union und FDP nicht mehr lange halten werde.\n1 von 17\nvon zurück blättern\nweiter blättern Tweets zu Wulffs Vereidigung Wie schon der Ablauf der Bundesversammlugn, so wird auch die Verabschiedung von Horst Köhler und die Vereidigung des neuen Bundespräsidenten Christian Wulff von vielen Twitter-Nutzern begleitet.

[ { "language": "es", "title": "Hosni Mubarak: 'Será la Historia la que me juzgue'", "text": "Ante las decenas de miles de egipcios que siguen ocupando la céntrica Plaza de Tahrir en El Cairo pidiendo su salida, y la falta de apoyo exterior, el presidente egipcio, Hosni Mubarak, ha anunciado que no se presentará a las próximas elecciones presidenciales.\nA pesar de la decepción y frustración de los egipcios ante la permanencia de Mubarak, el Ejército ha pedido a los ciudadanos que vuelvan a sus casas para que reine la normalidad. \"Las Fuerzas Armadas le están pidiendo... Ustedes comenzaron a salir a la calle para expresar sus demandas y ahora son los únicos capaces de restaurar la vida normal\", manifestó un portavoz del Ejército en la televisión estatal.\nEn un emocional discurso, con múltiples referencias a su trayectoria personal como soldado que había luchado por la libertad del país, Mubarak intentó presentarse como un hombre que \"nunca ha buscado ocupar un cargo de tanta responsabilidad y poder\", a la vez que argumentaba que era el único con \"legitimidad\" para liderar el proceso de transición.\nMubarak también se esforzó en presentar los últimos días como una época de pánico y caos, insistiendo en que \"las manifestaciones que inicialmente fueron actos pacíficos celebrando la libertad de expresión han sido explotados por quienes quieren acabar con la legitimidad constitucional\". Además, calificó a éstos como personas que se dedican a atacar \"misiones diplomáticas, propiedades públicas y privadas\".\n\"Los incidentes de los últimos días nos han obligado a escoger entre el caos y la estabilidad\", declaró el presidente egipcio a través de la televisión estatal. \"Yo inmediatamente respondí a las peticiones del pueblo con la formación de un nuevo gobierno; instruí al vicepresidente para que contactara con la oposición para materializar estas demandas\".\n\"Sin embargo, ciertas fuerzas políticas han ignorado estos intentos de establecer un diálogo\", dijo Mubarak, haciendo referencia a la oposición. \"En este momento decisivo, ellos han rechazado nuestra oferta\".\nIntentando apaciguar al pueblo sin hacer daño a su sentido del honor propio, Mubarak aseguró que -pese a los 30 años que lleva en el cargo- \"nunca\" había pensado en presentarse a los próximos comicios electorales. \"Hoy estoy más dispuesto aún a abandonar mi cargo para asegurar la paz del país\".\nSin embargo, ese abandonó tendrá que esperar. El mandatario aseguró que no abandonará su cargo, ya que su deber es liderar \"el proceso, como dicta la Constitución\".\nAunque apeló al Parlamento para debatir las enmiendas 66 y 67 de la Constitución -las que limitan la participación de ciertos partidos políticos-, Mubarak dejó claro que no tiene intención de dejar el proceso de transición en manos de otros, y que no tiene previsto abandonar el país.\n\"Éste es mi país. Éste es el país que siempre he defendido, el país por el que he luchado y cuya tierra, soberanía e intereses he defendido. Y moriré en esta tierra\".\nMensaje personal de Obama\nLa declaración de Mubarak se hizo inevitable con la desaparición de su apoyo exterior. A última hora de la tarde de ayer, se conoció el factor clave en el asunto: la Casa Blanca dio a conocer, a través de un mensaje comunicado en persona al presidente egipcio, la retirada del apoyo de Barack Obama al régimen.\nFuentes diplomáticas indican que el enviado especial del Departamento de Estado, Frank G. Wisner, hizo llegar a Mubarak un mensaje de Obama, a través del cual el presidente estadounidense le decía que no debía presentarse a los comicios presidenciales del próximo otoño.\nDe ser así, el mensaje implica un cambio fundamental en la posición de Estados Unidos -el aliado más importante de Mubarak- ante las revueltas que han conmocionado el país durante la última semana, y cuyo objetivo fundamental es el fin del mandato del presidente egipcio.\nWisner, un ex embajador estadounidense en Egipto y antiguo mediador en los conflictos de los Balcanes, dio a entender a Mubarak que tiene que abrir el paso a un proceso de transición que culmine con elecciones \"libres y democráticas\" en septiembre.\nEl proceso de transición\nTodavía no se conoce si la \"transición\" que pide la Casa Blanca será llevada a cabo por un gobierno compuesto por los líderes de la oposición -quizá bajo la dirección del 'candidato' preferido de Washington, Mohamed El Baradei-, o por un gobierno formado por miembros del actual régimen, liderado por el nuevo vicepresidente, Omar Suleiman, como dicta la Constitución del país. La oposición ya ha indicado que no tiene interés en formar parte de un gobierno liderado por personas vinculadas a Mubarak.\nEntretanto, las decenas de miles de egipcios de todas las edades, religiones y clases sociales que se concentran en la Plaza de Tahrir permanecen contínuamente en la calle. La reacción al mensaje del presidente fue de absoluto rechazo. Y coreaban: \"¡Que se vaya!\". Una noche más, se ignoró el toque de queda y, entre un ambiente festivo y patriótico, muchos levantaron tiendas de campaña en la calle y pasaron la noche al aire libre, esperando el final de la era Mubarak.", "url": "http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2011/02/01/internacional/1296588951.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20110204120355/http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2011/02/01/internacional/1296588951.html" } ]

The former Russian prime minister and the head of RosAtom, the Russian nuclear agency, will meet a delegation from Tehran this week to discuss a proposed deal whereby Moscow would provide Iran with enriched uranium for its nuclear plants, including a Russian-built reactor at Bushehr. Tehran\nStory continues below ↓ advertisement advertisement\noriginally rejected the plan, but with possible Security Council action looming, has recently revived its prospects. NEWSWEEK's Owen Matthews spoke with Kiriyenko, who hopes the deal will also bolster Russia's profitable nuclear industry, in Moscow. Excerpts:\nWhat's the status of your offer to Iran?\nRussia has already made one agreement with Iran to return their spent nuclear fuel to Russia. That guarantees that no plutonium can be extracted from the fuel. Second, we've put a proposal on the table to jointly create an enterprise for enriching uranium on Russian territory. The conditions of such a joint venture would be that Iran would contribute to its funding. In return it [will have] guaranteed supplies of enriched uranium—but not access to enrichment technology. So we will take uranium, enrich it here and send [the Iranians] ready fuel. And after it's been used, we take it back. That means that we keep control of two of the most sensitive technological stages. Thus there will be no danger that the development of atomic energy in Iran—or in any other country—will become a proliferation threat.\nWill the Iranians accept?\nThe proposal is on the table. Our talks are at the stage of concrete legal, technical and financial details. For our part, Russia is completely ready to create such an enrichment enterprise—we have the plant locations for it and a draft contract. We are ready technologically, financially and organizationally. Our offer's terms are clear and open to the international community. To accept it or not is up to Iran, and I can't tell you what they will say.\nThe IAEA has reported that Iran has deliberately concealed important parts of its nuclear program from inspectors. Do you believe that Tehran's nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes?\nI don't think it's a question of believing. International security and international law cannot be based on personal trust. We think that any country in the world which conforms to international norms and is inspected by the IAEA has the right to develop atomic energy. Period. No one has the right to deny anyone else that right. At the same time, Russia's attitude to Iran, or to any other country, is that they are categorically not allowed to violate the principles of nonproliferation. We believe that the proposals made by Russia today allow a resolution to the Iranian problem.\nHow can you make sure that nuclear-energy technology stays separate from weapons technology?\nThose countries which do not have nuclear-energy programs want access to cheap energy. Not to let them have access to cheap energy is a violation of international law. It's discrimination. Our position is that we have to help these countries escape from energy poverty—but at the same time it is our responsibility to prevent any threat of nuclear proliferation. We need to establish some kind of ground rules for dealing with these situations. Otherwise we will have situations like we have with Iran with other countries. It's the responsibility of countries with a full nuclear fuel cycle to agree on a coordinated structure, not just to find a solution on a case-by-case basis.\nSuch as?\n[Russian President] Vladimir Putin made a suggestion for four kinds of international cooperation: the creation of international uranium-enrichment centers of the sort we have proposed to Iran; international centers for reprocessing and storing spent nuclear fuel; centers for training and certifying nuclear-power-plant staff, and to have an international research effort to find new nuclear-energy technologies which are proliferation resistant. Many of those ideas were echoed by the president of the United States.\nDo you mean the United States should build uranium-enrichment centers, too?\nThese international centers must be just that—international. It would be very good if the United States could provide such centers on its territory. There are several other countries [that] could participate, too. That way, potential users of nuclear energy would have a choice.\nWill Russia have many more customers for its nuclear technology?\nWe don't think existing energy sources based on fossil fuel can sustain such rapid world economic growth. The world's balance of energy production will shift toward atomic energy, the only energy source we have available to us which is capable of keeping pace with the scale of growth of demand for electricity which the world economy needs.\n© 2007 Newsweek, Inc.", "url": "http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11299203/site/newsweek", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070303052136/http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11299203/site/newsweek/" } ]

A policeman assigned to guard him was shot and killed trying to resist the assailants, police said.\n\"On hearing gun shots, I rushed out of my home and saw the body of the guard lying there,\" Abid Hussain, a neighbor of the diplomat, told Reuters.\n\"By that time Attarzadeh had been taken away.\"\nThe Iranian diplomat was on his way to the consulate from his home when his car was ambushed in Hayatabad, a neighborhood bordering the Khyber tribal region.\nU.S. aid worker Steve Vance and his driver were killed outside the home where Vance lived with his wife and five children in Peshawar on Wednesday.\nIn late August, three members of the U.S. consulate in Peshawar escaped unhurt after gunmen ambushed their vehicle.\nPeshawar is the last city on the road to the Khyber Pass, the main land route to Afghanistan. Militants seized 13 trucks laden with supplies for Western forces on the road on Monday.\nU.S. State Department spokesman Robert Wood said in Washington late on Wednesday that the consulate in Peshawar had put out a notification urging employees and other Americans in the area to stay at home or in their offices until further notice.\nAfghanistan's ambassador-designate was kidnapped in Hayatabad on September 22, and there has been a rash of other kidnappings in recent weeks, including a Polish engineer snatched in the nearby city of Attock last month.\nIran's state radio quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi condemning the kidnapping as \"a terrorist act,\" while Iran's Student News Agency (ISNA) reported the ministry had summoned Pakistan's envoy in Tehran to protest the inadequate protection provided for its diplomat.\nBAD BLOOD\nPeshawar became a den of spies and jihadis in the 1980s when the United States and Saudi Arabia covertly funded a mujahideen guerrilla war to expel the Soviet army from Afghanistan.\nTo this day, Pakistani officials, usually privately, voice suspicions that neighboring countries are stirring trouble in the tribal lands as they compete for influence in Afghanistan.\nPakistan also has a history of sectarian violence between militants from the majority Sunni and minority Shi'ite sects.\nThousands of people have been killed since the 1980s. Earlier this year, almost 200 people were killed in sectarian clashes that erupted in the Kurram tribal region.\nA scare gripped Peshawar earlier this year after supposed Taliban fighters were spotted driving into the city in daylight to intimidate video shop owners and barbers, targeted because of the Taliban's strict interpretation of Islam.\nSecurity forces subsequently launched punitive operations in adjoining tribal areas targeting gangs said to have been using Islamist zeal to mask their criminal activities.\nMilitants have retaliated against a military offensive in the Bajaur tribal region, while a series of U.S. missile strikes in the Waziristan tribal region have added to tensions.\nTwo suicide attacks earlier this week in Peshawar and a nearby town underlined the mounting sense of insecurity.\nThe World Food Programme said in a statement that the worsening security situation and banditry were hampering relief efforts in Pakistan and Afghanistan.\n(Additional reporting by Zeeshan Haider and Alamgir Bitani; Writing by Simon Cameron-Moore; Editing by Paul Tait and Valerie Lee)", "url": "http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE4AC0SJ20081113", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160317050644/http://www.reuters.com/article/us-pakistan-kidnapped-idUSTRE4AC0SJ20081113" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Iran envoy abducted in Pakistan", "text": "The diplomat's car was hit by bullets Gunmen have kidnapped a diplomat from Iran and killed his guard in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, police say.

The incident happened a day after an American aid worker and his driver were shot dead as they travelled to work in a suburb of the city. Violence has surged in the north-west in recent months with a wave of attacks blamed on Islamist militants. A police officer told the AFP news agency that the diplomat, named as Heshmatollah Atharzadeh, was travelling to the consulate in Peshawar when the gunmen attacked his car. \"The attackers sprayed bullets, forcing the car to stop and then dragged out the diplomat while his police guard was killed,\" Banaras Khan said.

In a similar incident two months ago, unknown gunmen kidnapped Afghan consul-general, Abdul Khaliq Farahi, from the same locality after killing his driver. Mr Farahi is still missing. On Tuesday, American aid worker Stephen Vance and his driver were killed just outside their office in the University Town area in Peshawar. It is still not clear who the attackers were. Mr Vance worked for Cooperative Housing Foundation (CHF) International, which is working to implement US-funded projects to help develop the troubled tribal belt. Areas close to Peshawar - the biggest city in north-west Pakistan - are known to be Taleban and al-Qaeda strongholds. The region has been hit by several bombings and suicide attacks recently. On Tuesday, a suicide bomber walked up to the gate of a stadium in Peshawar and blew himself up. The attack happened as the governor of North-West Frontier Province left after a sports tournament. He was unhurt but at least one man was killed and three people were injured. The BBC's Mark Dummett in Islamabad says that the security situation across Pakistan has steadily worsened over the past few years, with Taleban militants holding sway over a large stretch of North-West Frontier Province. But our correspondent says attacks on foreigners in Pakistan are rare. Across the border in Afghanistan aid workers and other foreigners have increasingly been targeted in recent months.

Die 3D-Bilder zeigen gewaltige Einschlagskrater - und verraten auch Eisvorkommen unter der Oberfläche.\nEs muss ein infernalischer Anblick gewesen sein: Vor vielen Jahrtausenden krachte ein Meteorit auf den Mars und riss ein Loch von 20 Kilometern Durchmesser in die Oberfläche des Planeten. Gewaltige Gesteinsbrocken wurden weggesprengt, stürzten wieder herunter und schlugen ihrerseits kleinere Sekundärkrater.\nKRATER AUF DEM MARS: METEORIT TRAF AUF EIS\nFotostrecke starten: Klicken Sie auf ein Bild (6 Bilder)\nJetzt hat die europäische Raumsonde \"Mars Express\" mit ihrer an der Freien Universität Berlin entwickelten HRSC-Kamera das Gebiet ins Visier genommen.

Wie sie entstanden sind, ist nach Angaben des Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) noch nicht endgültig geklärt. Vieles spricht jedoch dafür, dass Eis in Hohlräumen unter der Oberfläche eine Rolle gespielt hat.\nDer 20-Kilometer-Krater auf dem jüngsten \"Mars Express\"-Foto liegt genau in einem solchen Kanal - und seine Umgebung ist verräterisch. Bei gewöhnlichen Meteoriteneinschlägen wird Gesteinsmaterial weggesprengt und geht strahlenförmig in der Umgebung nieder. In diesem Fall aber ist der Krater von einem Ring aus offenbar weicherem Material umgeben. Er sieht aus, als hätte jemand einen gewaltigen Stein in matschigen Boden geworfen.\nExperten gehen davon aus, dass sich der größte Teil des auf dem Mars gefrorenen Wassers in Hohlräumen unter der Oberfläche befindet. Und möglicherweise wurde bei dem nun fotografierten Krater ein solches Reservoir getroffen. Die Kanäle in der Umgebung lassen das vermuten, so das DLR. In diesem Fall wären nicht nur dicke Gesteinsbrocken weggeflogen, sondern es hätten sich - bedingt durch die Hitze, die bei einem solchen Einschlag entsteht - auch große Eismengen verflüssigt und sich mit dem Erdreich zu einer matschigen Melange verbunden.\nDie kleinen Krater zeigen hingegen keine Auswurfdecken mit Fließformen. Das lege den Verdacht nahe, dass sie nicht tief genug reichten, um ebenfalls auf Eis zu treffen.

Está clara su responsabilidad. Para la procuraduría es un caso ya hecho\", dijo Murillo Karam en rueda de prensa, tras la primera reunión entre el gabinete federal de seguridad y el gobernador interino de Guerrero, Rogelio Ortega.\nEn el encuentro con medios, el procurador informó que un juez ya concedió órdenes de aprehensión contra Abarca y su esposa, María de los Ángeles Pineda, ambos señalados como operadores del grupo delictivo Guerreros Unidos, así como contra el secretario de Seguridad Pública de Iguala, Felipe Flores.\nCon relación a la más reciente fosa clandestina encontrada el lunes en el municipio de Cocula, Murillo Karam señaló que funcionarios mantienen trabajos periciales en la zona y que no dará más detalles sobre el tema hasta tener datos precisos.\nLa fosa fue localizada luego de la detención de integrantes de Guerreros Unidos que declararon haber participado directamente en la desaparición de los normalistas, después de que se los entregaron policías municipales de Iguala y Cocula.\nHasta ahora, las autoridades han encontrado 38 cadáveres en varias fosas, pero los análisis que han realizado concluyen que ninguno de ellos corresponde a los estudiantes desaparecidos.\nLa seguridad en Tierra Caliente\nPor otro lado, durante la reunión entre el gabinete federal de seguridad y el gobernador interino, ambas partes acordaron acciones conjuntas para dar seguridad a los 17 municipios guerrerenses de Tierra Caliente, al puerto de Acapulco y a Chilpancingo, la capital de Guerrero.\nLas medidas se sintetizan en cuatro estrategias: 1) mantener la búsqueda de los normalistas, 2) continuar con las investigaciones para encontrar a los responsables, 3) crear policías confiables y 4) abrir el diálogo con los sectores sociales inconformes.\nEl secretario de Gobernación, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong, informó que 10,000 elementos de la Policía Federal, el Ejército, la Marina y la PGR se encuentran en Guerrero con motivo de este caso.\nDurante su intervención, el gobernador interino señaló que su gobierno no \"criminalizará\" las protestas sociales que ha generado la desaparición de los normalistas. Sin embargo, llamó a que estas manifestaciones se realicen en el marco de la ley.\n\"Nadie por encima de la ley, nadie que rebase la legalidad, nadie puede atentar contra terceros\", dijo Ortega.\nLa declaración se produce luego de que algunas protestas derivaran la semana pasada en daños a edificios públicos y comercios. Uno de los inmuebles afectados fue la alcaldía de Iguala, que un grupo de manifestantes incendió.\nOrtega asumió el gobierno de Guerrero apenas este domingo, después de que el gobernador Ángel Aguirre pidiera licencia ante las críticas a su desempeño en el caso de los normalistas desaparecidos.

Another study provided a similar estimate of 2.6 with an uncertainty range of: 1.5-3.5[7].

A análise mostra que o vírus Sars-CoV-2 e suas variantes permanecem em circulação intensa em todo o país. Além disso, a sobrecarga dos hospitais, observada pela ocupação de leitos de UTI, também se mantêm alta.\n“Ao longo da última Semana Epidemiológica 13, houve uma aceleração da transmissão de Covid-19 no Brasil. Devido ao acúmulo de casos, diversos deles graves, advindos da exposição ao vírus ainda no mês de março, o vírus permanece em circulação intensa em todo o país”, explicam os pesquisadores. Segundo os dados, foi observado ainda um novo aumento da taxa de letalidade, de 3,3 para 4,2%. Este indicador se encontrava em torno de 2,0% no final de 2020. Os pesquisadores do Boletim alertam que esse crescimento pode ser consequência da falta de capacidade de se diagnosticar, correta e oportunamente, os casos graves, somado à sobrecarga dos hospitais.\nCom base neste cenário e a partir da premissa de que o “essencial é proteger à saúde e salvar vidas”, os pesquisadores do Observatório Covid-19 Fiocruz, responsáveis pelo estudo, defendem que é fundamental neste momento a adoção ou a continuidade de medidas urgentes, que envolvem a contenção das taxas de transmissão e crescimento de casos através de medidas bloqueio ou lockdown, seguidas das de mitigação, com o objetivo reduzir a velocidade da propagação. Tendo como referência a Carta dos Secretários Estaduais de Saúde à Nação Brasileira, publicada pelo Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Saúde (Conass) em 1 de março de 2021, a análise aponta para a necessidade de maior rigor nas medidas de restrição das atividades não essenciais para todos estados, capitais e regiões de saúde que tenham uma taxa ocupação de leitos acima de 85% e tendência de elevação no número de casos e óbitos.\nPara que se alcance os resultados esperados, o estudo destaca que essas medidas de bloqueio precisam ter pelo menos 14 dias de duração e, em algumas situações, mais tempo, dependendo da amplitude do rigor da aplicação. Na visão dos pesquisadores, é fundamental a adoção de medidas combinadas e complexas, assim como a coerência e a convergência dos poderes do Estado (Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário), bem como dos diferentes níveis de governo (municipais, estaduais e federal), em favor destas medidas de bloqueio.\n“Coerência e convergência são fundamentais neste momento de crise para que as medidas de bloqueio sejam efetivamente adotadas de forma a sair do estado de colapso de saúde e progredir para uma etapa de medidas de mitigação da pandemia, diminuindo o número de mortes, casos e taxas de transmissão e efetivamente salvando vidas”, afirmam.\nDentre as medidas de bloqueio propostas, estão a proibição de eventos presenciais, como shows, congressos, atividades religiosas, esportivas e correlatas em todo território nacional; a suspensão das atividades presenciais de todos os níveis da educação do país; o toque de recolher nacional a partir das 20h até as 6h da manhã e durante os finais de semana; o fechamento das praias e bares; a adoção de trabalho remoto sempre que possível, tanto no setor público quanto no privado; a instituição de barreiras sanitárias nacionais e internacionais, considerados o fechamento dos aeroportos e do transporte interestadual; a adoção de medidas para redução da superlotação nos transportes coletivos urbanos; a ampliação da testagem e acompanhamento dos testados, com isolamento dos casos suspeitos e monitoramento dos contatos.\nOs resultados da investigação apontam ainda que é fundamental insistir nos esforços para o fortalecimento da rede de serviços de saúde, incluindo os diferentes níveis de atenção e de vigilância, com ampla testagem, compra e ampliação da produção de vacinas, e aceleração da vacinação. “É imprescindível ainda garantir condições para que a população possa se manter em casa protegida, limitando a circulação de pessoas nas cidades apenas para a execução de atividades verdadeiramente essenciais”, orientam os pesquisadores.\nLeitos de UTI para Covid-19\nEntre os dias 29 de março e 5 de abril de 2021, as taxas de ocupação de leitos de UTI Covid-19 para adultos no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) apresentaram reduções em Roraima (de 62% para 49%), Amapá (de 100% para 91%), Maranhão (de 88% para 80%), Paraíba (de 84% para 77%) e Rio Grande do Sul (de 95% para 90%). Na direção oposta, destaca-se piora em Sergipe, com a taxa subindo de 86% para 95%.

Além da manutenção do rejuvenescimento da pandemia no Brasil, a comparação entre a Semana Epidemiológica 1 (3 a 9 de janeiro de 2021) e a 12 (21 a 27 de março) sinalizou um aumento global da doença de 701,58%.\nPara os óbitos, a comparação entre as semanas epidemiológicas 1 e 12 mostrou um crescimento global de 468,57%.

Esse padrão coloca as regiões Sul e Centro-Oeste como críticas para as próximas semanas, o que pode ser agravado pela saturação do sistema de saúde nesses estados.\nImunização\nQuanto à imunização, os pesquisadores observam que o Brasil ainda está distante dos valores necessários para que o país tenha “uma situação de maior controle’. As primeiras doses das vacinas foram disponibilizadas pelo Programa Nacional de Imunizações (PNI), até o período em análise, para 13% da população acima de 18 anos e as segundas doses para apenas 3,68%.\nMedidas eficazes\nComo exemplo de boas soluções contra o avanço da pandemia no Brasil, a análise traz as medidas de bloqueio adotadas em Fortaleza, na região metropolitana de Salvador e no município de Araraquara. Os impactos positivos dessas medidas em países como Itália e Espanha também são citados no documento.\nEnfrentamento da pandemia\nSegundo o Boletim, múltiplos fatores contribuíram para este novo patamar da pandemia. Para enfrentar o atual cenário, os pesquisadores ressaltam que é fundamental a combinação de diferentes medidas, envolvendo as não-farmacológicas, o sistema de saúde e as políticas e ações de proteção e assistência social para redução da vulnerabilidade e do impacto social.\n“É preciso que haja convergência e integração dos diferentes poderes do Estado brasileiro (Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário), assim como os diferentes níveis de governo (municipais, estaduais e federal), com participação das empresas, instituições e organizações da sociedade civil (de nível local ao nacional) para o enfrentamento deste momento bastante crítico e grave da pandemia”, alertam.", "url": "https://agencia.fiocruz.br/covid-19-sul-e-centro-oeste-tendem-cenario-critico-nas-proximas-semanas", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210409234017/https://agencia.fiocruz.br/covid-19-sul-e-centro-oeste-tendem-cenario-critico-nas-proximas-semanas" } ]

Terminata tale operazione il Capitano della Contrada designata per prima dalla sorte estrae un nome, rimettendo al Presidente la custodia chiusa e questi l'apre e pubblica il contenuto, mostrando palesemente la tessera estratta.\nSuccessivamente, e con le stesse modalità, il Capitano della Contrada che la sorte ha designata per seconda, procede alla estrazione di un'altra Contrada, il cui nome viene nello stesso modo pubblicato, e si continua così finché non ne siano estratte tante da completare il numero di dieci necessario per il Palio.\nQualora venga estratta una Contrada che abbia in corso un provvedimento disciplinare di esclusione essa verrà a questo punto eliminata, scontando così la punizione, e si procederà all'immediato sorteggio di altra Contrada.\nDel sorteggio della Contrada esclusa viene data notizia al pubblico mediante esposizione della bandiera ad una finestra del secondo piano del Palazzo Municipale prima dell'esposizione delle altre bandiere delle Contrade successivamente estratte e partecipanti al Palio.\nNel caso di sopraggiunta impossibilità a partecipare al Palio da parte di una Contrada non si procede all'ulteriore convocazione dei Capitani, ma avranno diritto a correre le Contrade nel rispetto dell'ordine di sorteggio di cui al successivo art. 23.\nArticolo 23\nCompletato il numero delle dieci Contrade che debbono correre il Palio, il Presidente continua l'estrazione delle Contrade rimaste nell'urna, pubblicando man mano il nome di ciascuna di esse.\nQueste ultime hanno diritto di partecipare al Palio corrispondente dell'anno immediatamente successivo, insieme a quelle che avessero rinunciato al diritto di correre, o al sorteggio, ai sensi dell'art. 6 e a quelle per le quali cesserà la punizione dell'esclusione.\nArticolo 24\nI sorteggi di cui agli artt. 22 e 23 valgono anche per determinare l'ordine delle Comparse nel Corteo Storico che precede la corsa del Palio, come specificato nell'art. 77. Quando per le rinunce di cui all'art. 6 non si debba far luogo all'estrazione a sorte per completare il numero delle dieci Contrade partecipanti alla corsa, il sorteggio tra queste viene effettuato dal Presidente, all'unico scopo di stabilire l'ordine delle rispettive Comparse nel Corteo Storico.\nArticolo 25\nPer il sorteggio previsto dall'ultimo comma dell'Art. 6 si osservano le norme contenute negli artt. 21 e 22.\nL'ordine nel Corteo Storico delle Comparse delle Contrade le quali hanno acquisito il diritto di correre in forza del suddetto art. 6, comma ultimo, viene determinato con apposito s orteggio, da effettuarsi subito dopo quello eseguito per completare il numero delle dieci partecipanti alla corsa.\nArticolo 26\nTerminate le operazioni di sorteggio, le bandiere delle Contrade estratte per partecipare alla corsa, vengono esposte nell'ordine di estrazione, alle finestre del primo piano del Palazzo Municipale, dove già, fino dal mattino, debbono trovarsi quelle delle Contrade che partecipano di diritto alla corsa stessa. Nel caso di cui al comma secondo dell'art. 24, le bandiere verranno esposte solo per render nota la disposizione delle Comparse nel Corteo Storico.\nMan mano che le bandiere delle Contrade estratte vengono esposte alle finestre. sono salutate dagli squilli dei Trombetti di Palazzo.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "State of Emergency After 29-Vehicle Pileup", "text": "A multi-vehicle collision on California's Interstate 5 ignited an inferno that burned for several hours. (ABC News)\nGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles County today after a freeway pile-up blazed for hours, killed at least three people and shut down a major traffic artery.\nThe chain-reaction accident that ignited the inferno occurred Friday night in a tunnel on Interstate 5 at the Antelope Valley Freeway north of Los Angeles. It's one of the nation's busiest highways, a major route connecting northern and southern California as well as a major commuting road for Los Angeles.\nThe crash caused an intense fire, damaging the freeway structure and closing the interstate.\nThree are confirmed dead, including an infant, and at least 10 others were injured.\nAt least 29 vehicles were involved in the crash -- including six big-rig trucks.\nFlames burned for so long that bits of concrete exploded onto the highway and trucks were reduced to charred skeletons. The vehicles burned at an estimated 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours.\n\"The fire burned in a very intense state for approximately four hours and basically consumed everything that was burnable,\" said John Tripp of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.\nTruck drivers like Tony White, who use the tunnel regularly, were not surprised it was the site of a devastating pileup.\n\"The tunnel is very dangerous for the four-wheelers and the truckers,\" White said.\nWhen it's raining, like it was Friday night when the crash happened, drivers said the roadway gets slick.\n\"It stresses me out to go through that part,\" White said, \"because I'm always waiting for something to happen.\"\nToday investigators picked through the scorched wreckage of the big-rig trucks, including tire rims and truck axles, hoping to pinpoint what caused the pileup. Engineers got their first good look at the walls and ceiling of the burned 550-foot-long underpass.\nMeanwhile, commuters are bracing for a traffic nightmare at the start of the work week.\nWith miles of Interstate 5 shut down, traffic has been snarled on surrounding roads all weekend as drivers looked for alternative routes. One driver told ABC News it took him three hours to go five miles.", "url": "http://www.abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=3729011&page=1", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071015043230/http://abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=3729011&page=1" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Interstate 5 is back in business", "text": "Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times Deborah Harris, chief media relations officer for Caltrans in Los Angeles, makes a phone call from a median on a closed section of the I-5 Sunday afternoon in Santa Clarita.

Einige Aufgaben waren offenbar gar nicht lösbar.\nDie Mathe-Klausur ist der reine Wahnsinn, seitenlange Texte und Zahlenkolonnen. Man liest, blättert vor und zurück – die Zeit läuft ab, die Lösungsbögen bleiben weiß: Ein Albtraum, der viele Abiturienten lebenslang verfolgt, wird jetzt in Nordrhein-Westfalen wahr. Die vor zwei Monaten abgelegten Abiturprüfungsklausuren in Mathematik werden am 17. Juni neu geschrieben, weil sie für Kursgruppen einiger Schulen zu schwierig waren, verfügte jetzt Schulministerin Barbara Sommer. Nachschreiben können alle, die mit ihrer Punktzahl nicht zufrieden sind. Das bedeutet nicht nur eine Belastung für die Betroffenen. Die Panne stellt aus der Sicht von Kritikern auch das vor einem Jahr eingeführte Zentralabitur in Frage.Was stimmte nicht mit den Klausuren? Sie wurden zwar nach Angaben des NRW-Bildungsministeriums von vielen Schülern gut bewältigt, fielen aber an etlichen Schulen so schlecht aus, dass eine Wiederholung gerechtfertigt sei. Die Aufgaben für den Mathe-Leistungskurs seien „zu umfangreich und von den Schülern nicht zu bewältigen gewesen“, sagt Andreas Merkendorf, Vorstandsreferent beim NRW-Philologenverband, der Vereinigung der Gymnasiallehrer. Schüler hätten geklagt, dass sie allein eine von vier Klausurstunden dafür gebraucht hätten, die komplexen Aufgabenstellungen überhaupt zu überblicken. Und zwei der Aufgaben seien dann „nicht lösbar“ gewesen.Im ersten Aufgabenkomplex für die Leistungskurse sollten die Schüler geometrische Berechnungen zu einem Oktaeder anstellen, der in einem Würfel „einbeschrieben“ war (siehe Grafik). Die Dicke des Oktaeders sollte berechnet, Koordinaten der Eckpunkte sowie Schnittpunkte bestimmt und schließlich das Volumen einer abgeschnittenen Pyramide ermittelt werden. In dieser Aufgabe hätten „unlogische Schlüsse und fehlende Angaben die Schüler irregeleitet“, sagt Merkendorf. Die Grundkurse erhielten laut Ministerium eine „abgespeckte“ Version.Die zweite Aufgabe kam aus der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung: „Der deutsche Basketball-Profi Dirk Nowitzki spielt in der amerikanischen Profiliga NBA beim Club Dallas Mavericks. In der Saison 2006/2007 erzielte er bei Freiwürfen eine Trefferquote von 90,4 %.“ Zu lösen waren dann Aufgaben zu Trefferquoten in verschiedenen Situationen. Der Bonner Mathe-Professor Peter Koepke stellte in einem Gutachten fest, dass eine entscheidende Angabe fehle, die die Schüler selbst hätten einsetzen müssen. Das könne man nicht verlangen. Das Ministerium hält dem Klausuren entgegen, in denen die volle Punktzahl erzielt wurde.Die Gewerkschaft Erziehung und Wissenschaft fordert die Abschaffung des NRW-Zentralabiturs. Es sei „mit Zeitdruck und wenig Ressourcen“ eingeführt worden. Wenn ganze Leistungskurse in die Nachprüfungen müssten, sei „etwas gründlich schiefgelaufen“. Es werde jetzt nach Ursachen für die Schwierigkeiten gesucht, sagt ein Ministeriums-Sprecher. Aber das stelle das Zentralabitur nicht infrage. Es sei eingeführt worden, um gleiche Standards für alle Schulen zu sichern. Ohne Zentralabitur würde die Diskussion um „leichte Schulen, schwere Schulen“ neu aufflammen.(Erschienen im gedruckten Tagesspiegel vom 11.06.2008)", "url": "http://www.tagesspiegel.de/magazin/wissen/Mathematik;art304,2548364", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080613030410/http://www.tagesspiegel.de/magazin/wissen/Mathematik;art304,2548364" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Schule: 28 000 Berliner Schüler müssen Mathematik-Prüfung wiederholen", "text": "Wenn Sie eine Webseite unseres Internetauftritts aufrufen, die den Button enthält, baut Ihr Browser eine direkte Verbindung mit den Servern von Facebook auf.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "NFL Game Center: Game Recap", "text": "Associated Press\nMatt Slocum / Associated Press David Tyree hoists the football after his touchdown in the fourth quarter gives the Giants the lead.\nGLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants had the perfect answer for the suddenly imperfect Patriots: a big, bad defense and an improbable comeback led by their own Mr. Cool quarterback, Eli Manning.\nIn one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history, New York shattered New England's unbeaten season 17-14 Sunday night as Manning hit Plaxico Burress on a 13-yard fade with 35 seconds left. It was the Giants' 11th straight victory on the road and the first time the Patriots tasted defeat in more than a year.\nIt was the most bitter of losses, too, because 12-point favorite New England (18-1) was one play from winning and getting the ultimate revenge for being penalized for illegally taping opponents' defensive signals in the season-opener against the New York Jets.\nBut its defense couldn't stop a final, frantic 12-play, 83-yard drive that featured a spectacular leaping catch by David Tyree, who had scored New York's first touchdown on the opening drive of the fourth quarter.\n\"It's the greatest feeling in professional sports,\" Burress said before bursting into tears.\n\"That's a position you want to be in,\" said Manning, who followed older brother Peyton's MVP performance last year with one of his own. \"You can't write a better script. There were so many big plays on that drive.\"\nAnd now the 1972 Miami Dolphins can pop another bottle of champagne in celebration of a record still intact, the only perfect season in the Super Bowl era.\nThe Patriots were done in not so much by the pressure of the first unbeaten season in 35 years as by the pressure of a smothering Giants pass rush. Tom Brady, the league's Most Valuable Player and winner of his first three Super Bowls, was sacked five times, hurried a dozen more and at one point wound up on his knees, his hands on his hips following one of many poor throws in New England's lowest scoring game of the season.\n\"They played well,\" Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. \"They made some plays. We made some plays. They just made a few more. We played as hard as we could. We just couldn't make enough plays.\"\nHardly a familiar position for the record-setting Patriots and their megastar quarterback. And a totally strange outcome for a team that seemed destined for historic glory.\nDavid helps slay Goliath\nKnown more for his special teams skills, David Tyree came up big in Super Bowl XLII. He scored the Giants' first TD, and his 32-yard reception in the fourth quarter helped set up the winning score.\n» The miracle play\n» Video: Tyree's big catch | TD reception Known more for his special teams skills, David Tyree came up big in Super Bowl XLII. He scored the Giants' first TD, and his 32-yard reception in the fourth quarter helped set up the winning score.\nOddly, it was a loss to the Patriots that sparked New York's stunning run to its third Super Bowl and sixth NFL title. New England won 38-35 in Week 17 as the Patriots became the first team in 35 years to go spotless through the regular season. But by playing hard in a meaningless game for them, the Giants (14-6) gained something of a swagger and Manning found his footing.\nTheir growing confidence carried them through playoff victories at Tampa Bay, Dallas and Green Bay, and then past the mightiest opponent of all.\nNot that the Patriots were very mighty this day. They even conceded with 1 second on the clock as coach Bill Belichick ran across the field to shake the hand of jubilant Giants coach Tom Coughlin, then headed to the locker room, ignoring the final kneeldown.\nThat it was Manning taking that knee was stunning. He not only matched his brother's achievement of last year with the Indianapolis Colts, but he showed the brilliant precision late in the game usually associated with, well, Brady.\nPeyton Manning was seen in a luxury box jumping up and pumping both fists when Burress, who didn't practice all week because of injuries, caught the winning score.\n\"We just hung in there on offense, kept executing,\" said Burress, who wasn't far off on the 23-17 prediction he made a few days ago. \"It came down to one play and we made it.\"\nThe Giants became the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl; four AFC teams have done it. They also are the second wild-card champions in three years, following the Pittsburgh Steelers after the 2005 season.\nThe upset also could be viewed as a source of revenge not only for the Giants, but for the other NFL teams over Spygate back in September. That cheating scandal made headlines again late in Super Bowl week, and could have placed an infinite cloud over New England's perfection.\nUntil the frantic fourth quarter, the only scoring came on the game's first two drives.\nThe Giants did almost exactly what they sought with the opening kickoff, using up nearly 10 minutes to go 63 yards. Almost exactly, but not quite, because they settled for a 32-yard field goal after converting four third downs on the 16-play series. The 9:59 drive was the longest in Super Bowl history.\nThat 3-0 lead lasted for the rest of the quarter, but only because the Patriots were stopped at New York's 1 as the period expired. On the next play, Laurence Maroney scored.\nNew England's 12-play drive was aided by a 16-yard pass interference penalty on linebacker Antonio Pierce in the end zone. It began with Maroney's 43-yard kickoff runback.\nIt was the fewest possessions in the first quarter of a Super Bowl.\nNew York's first series of the second quarter looked dangerous after Amani Toomer's lunging sideline catch for 38 yards. But rookie Steve Smith mishandled Manning's throw at the New England 10, Ellis Hobbs intercepted and returned it 23 yards.\nThose are opportunities teams can't waste against a strong opponent, let alone the Patriots. It was Manning's first interception of the postseason, albeit entirely not his fault; the last was by Hobbs in the season finale.\nThe Giants survived rookie Ahmad Bradshaw's fumble, which he recovered, on their next series, because their league-leading pass rush came alive when the Patriots got the ball back. New York sacked Brady on successive plays, forcing a punt, but the Giants' were hurt by an illegal batting of the ball penalty on Bradshaw after reaching the New England 25.\nOfficial site links ...

Eli Manning was selected as Super Bowl XLII's MVP.The Patriots were nearly perfect, but their bid of perfection fell one game short as the New York Giants prevailed in Super Bowl XLII. This was the first Super Bowl loss for Tom Brady.\nJustin Tuck's second sack, in the final seconds of the half, forced a fumble recovered by New York teammate Osi Umenyiora. The Giants' celebrated defensive line controlled much of the half, holding the most prolific offense in NFL history to a measly 81 yards and seven points. New England had the ball only 10:33.\nBut New York's mistakes left it with just three -- and there are no moral victories in Super Bowls.\nSo the Giants got a real one as the maturing Manning hung in to find Tyree for a 5-yard touchdown to cap an 80-yard drive for a 10-7 lead.\nPressed unlike they are accustomed to, the Patriots responded with their own 80-yard march as Brady finally got some time. Randy Moss, who caught a record 23 of Brady's record 50 TD throws this year, took a 6-yard pass when cornerback Corey Webster fell, and with a mere 2:42 remaining, the first 19-0 season was right there.\nEli and the Giants snatched it away.\nCopyright 2008 by The Associated Press", "url": "http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/recap?game_id=29526&displayPage=tab_recap&season=2007&week=POST21", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080205062902/http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/recap?game_id=29526&displayPage=tab_recap&season=2007&week=POST21" }, { "language": "en", "title": "New England Patriots 14-17 New York Giants", "text": "The New York Giants produced perhaps the biggest upset in Super Bowl history last night, with a stunning 17-14 victory over the New England Patriots in Phoenix.\nThe Patriots were one win away from an undefeated season, a standard that has only been achieved once before in the NFL - by the 1972 Miami Dolphins - and began the game as 5-1 on favourites. Plaxico Burress's touchdown with 35 seconds remaining, however, ended those hopes.\nThe Giants quarterback Eli Manning was awarded the Super Bowl MVP award, but the real stars of the game were the Giants' defensive linemen, who helped restrict the usually free-scoring Pats to just 14 points. The Patriots has scored at least 20 points in every game of their 18-0 run to the Super Bowl, but a remarkably resolute New York side held firm throughout.\nThe early exchanges gave little hint of the largely attritional fare that was to come. The Giants received the kick-off and moved downfield for a field goal on their first drive, but the Patriots responded on their first possession with Laurence Maroney running in for a touchdown from a yard out.\nThat score was in the opening moments of the second quarter and gave the Patriots a 7-3 lead. What followed was intriguing, if a little low-key. The Giants were able to put pressure on the Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, denying him the time to find his favoured receivers, but on offense the New Yorkers struggled to make an impact in the New England half.\nHeading towards the fourth quarter with the score still 7-3, thoughts turned to another record - that of the lowest-scoring Super Bowl. Again the Dolphins hold that title, with their 14-7 victory over Washington in January 1973. With 11 minutes to go, however, Manning threaded a pass David Tyree in the endzone to put the Giants 10-7 ahead.\nBack came the Patriots again. Randy Moss created space in the endzone after a near-immaculate drive orchestrated by Brady and New England were 14-10 up with 2.42 left on the clock.\nThat meant a make-or-break final drive for the Giants. Brandon Jacobs squeaked through on a fourth down with 1.22 remaining, then moments later Manning produced the play of the match. New York's chance seemed to have gone, with the Patriots defensive linemen clawing at the quarterback's jersey, but Manning wriggled free and found Tyree downfield to set up a 1st and 10 on the Patriots 24-yard line.\nA few plays later Burress flumoxed the cornerback Ellis Hobbs and found himself free in the endzone. Manning hit his man and the Giants held firm on New England's final possession to seal a remarkable victory.\n· Read Paolo Bandini's verdict on Super Bowl XLII by clicking here.", "url": "http://sport.guardian.co.uk/ussports/story/0,,2252075,00.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080206232932/http://sport.guardian.co.uk/ussports/story/0,,2252075,00.html" } ]

It's been a long journey, a long time in coming. It's surreal almost.\"\nUnger's lawyer Hersh Wolch touted his client's acquittal as the first of its kind in Canada. Other wrongful convictions have resulted in new trials or the charges being stayed, not acquittals, he said.\n\"We have a historic day today,\" Wolch said.\nUnger, 38, has been free on bail since November 2005 when his lawyers argued hair evidence linking Unger to the crime scene has since been proven false and should pave the way for an acquittal or new trial.\nLast March, federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson quashed Unger's murder conviction and ordered a new trial. Manitoba assistant deputy attorney general Don Slough said yesterday DNA testing conducted earlier this year produced no trace linking Unger to the crime scene, leaving Unger's confession to undercover police as the only evidence against him.\n\"Taking into account these circumstances, a group of very experienced Crown attorneys has reviewed the file and it is their conclusion that it would be unsafe to retry Unger on the available evidence,\" Slough said.\nJustice Glenn Joyal acquitted Unger and said he will face no further court action in the matter.\n\"There is nothing further I can say but good luck,\" Joyal said.\nGrenier was killed at an outdoor rock concert near Roseisle, Man., in June 1990. The teen's nude and beaten body was discovered in a shallow creek. Unger and co-accused Timothy Lawrence Houlahan both pleaded not guilty but were convicted of first-degree murder.\nHoulahan had his conviction overturned and was released on bail in 1994. He later committed suicide.\nIn a statement to police following his arrest, Houlahan, then 17, identified Unger as Grenier's killer. Houlahan claimed Unger viciously attacked Grenier after Houlahan had sex with her and commanded him to punch her. Unger then order Houlahan to help him hide Grenier's body, Houlahan said.\n\"Houlahan's statement and his indication of Unger's involvement exerted a significant influence over the police and the prosecution's view of the case,\" Slough said yesterday.\nUnger's prosecution was led by retired Crown attorney George Dangerfield, who also prosecuted the wrongful murder convictions of Thomas Sophonow and James Driskell.\nThe murder charge against Unger was initially stayed following a preliminary hearing in late 1990. Police launched a \"Mister Big\" undercover investigation after a jailhouse informant claimed Unger confessed to the murder. The confession was later discredited after it was revealed Unger could not have made the confession when the informant said he did.\nIn a Mister Big sting, police officers pose as members of a criminal gang who then entice a target to join their organization. The price of membership is a confession to a major crime.\nUnger confessed to the murder and was rearrested June 21, 1991.\nAddressing the court yesterday, Slough appeared to lay at least some of the blame for the wrongful conviction at Unger's feet.\n\"Without Unger's willingness to confess to the horrific murder of a person he described as a friend, there was no case against him,\" Slough said. \"It has been suggested that the Crown's case against him is improbable and that his confession was inconsistent with the known facts. Those arguments were made to the jury and rejected.\"\nWolch said prosecutors in the case were guilty of \"one of the worst cases of tunnel-vision ever committed. It has all the hallmarks of what causes a wrongful conviction.\"\nCASE HISTORY\nHere's a timeline of events surrounding the murder of Brigitte Grenier, 16, and prosecution of Kyle Unger:\n- June 24, 1990: Grenier's body is found in a creek on the grounds of a Roseisle ski resort, where she attended a rock concert a night earlier.\n- Feb. 29, 1992: Unger and co-accused Timothy Houlahan, who both pleaded not guilty, are convicted of first-degree murder. Unger is sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.\n- July 27, 1993: Manitoba Court of Appeal dismisses Unger's appeal.\n- Dec. 2, 1993: Supreme Court of Canada denies Unger's appeal.\n- 1994: Houlahan, 21, is released after his conviction is overturned. He commits suicide while on bail. His charges are stayed.\n- April 2003: The provincial Forensic Evidence Review Committee (FERC) begins reviewing homicide cases where a not guilty plea was entered and hair evidence was relied upon to secure a conviction.\n- May 7, 2004: RCMP announce a strand of hair found on Grenier's sweater has been located in its archives. Once thought to be destroyed, it is tested against Unger's DNA.\n- Sept. 15, 2004: FERC says hair is not Unger's. The federal justice department later begins a review of Unger's conviction.\n- Nov. 4, 2005: Manitoba Queen's Bench Justice Holly Beard rules Unger should be released while review is pending.\n- Nov. 24, 2005: Unger released after nearly 14 years in prison.\n- March 11, 2009: Federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson quashes Unger's conviction and orders a new trial upon completion of the review.\n- Oct. 23, 2009: Manitoba assistant deputy attorney general Don Slough announces the Crown has no physical evidence linking Unger to the murder and will not retry him.

Ärgern dürfte das die Lufthansa : Einer ihrer größten Konkurrenten aus dem Golf macht sich nun in Deutschland breit. Etihad werde ihre Aktienbeteiligung an Air Berlin für 73 Millionen Euro auf 29 Prozent aufstocken, teilten die beiden Gesellschaften am Montag mit. Air Berlin werde dazu neue Aktien ausgeben.

Ich bin richtig ein Stück euphorisch.\" Es gebe hier kaum \"Dinge, die nicht zusammenpassen\". Die Zusammenarbeit werde weit über eine Partnerschaft hinausgehen: \"Wir arbeiten wie eine vernetzte Airline.\" Die Entscheidung für Etihad sei einstimmig im Board gefallen. Mehdorn sieht kein Ende der Schrumpfkur bei der Air Berlin. Mit Etihad sei Air Berlin keine weiche Coach ins Zimmer gestellt worden: \"Wir lassen nicht nach\", sagte Mehdorn. \"Unsere Effizienzbemühungen werden eher verstärkt.\" Als erstes werde Air Berlin ab Januar von der deutschen Hauptstadt das Golf-Emirat Abu Dhabi anfliegen, aus dem Etihad kommt. Von dort hätten Reisende viele Möglichkeiten, nach Asien oder Australien zu kommen. Zudem sei geplant, die Vielfliegerprogramme zu koordinieren und gemeinsam Flüge anzubieten.

Auch der Aufsichtsrat des Staatsunternehmens aus Abu Dhabi ist dem Vernehmen nach noch nicht mit den Plänen befasst worden.\nBild vergrößern Bekommt Air Berlin einen neuen Investor? (© Foto: dpa)\nEtihad ist offenbar aus mehreren Gründen an Air Berlin interessiert. Einerseits könnte die deutsche Fluggesellschaft mit Zubringerdiensten Passagiere für die eigenen Langstreckenflüge beisteuern. Der Status als Anteilseigner bei Air Berlin würde Etihad, so das Kalkül, auch in eine bessere Verhandlungsposition für neue Verkehrsrechte nach Deutschland bringen, gegen die Konkurrent Lufthansa vor und hinter den Kulissen vehement kämpft. Und Air Berlin ist derzeit billig zu haben: Das gesamte Unternehmen kostet derzeit an der Börse 281 Millionen Euro, ungefähr so viel wie ein Airbus A380. Ein Etihad-Sprecher sagte auf Anfrage, das Unternehmen kommentiere \"aus Prinzip Gerüchte und Spekulationen nicht\". Auch Air Berlin will sich nicht äußern.\nVorbild Emirates\nANZEIGE\nEtihad Airways wurde 2003 vom Emirat Abu Dhabi gegründet und versucht seither, den Erfolg des Nachbarn Emirates zu wiederholen. Derzeit betreibt Etihad eine Flotte von 39 Langstreckenflugzeugen, hat aber rund 100 weitere Maschinen bestellt. Etihad-Chef James Hogan hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, das Unternehmen 2010 erstmals in die schwarzen Zahlen zu führen. Doch ob dies angesichts der starken Expansion, die mitten in eine weltweite Rezession fällt, gelingen wird, bezweifeln immer mehr Fachleute. Etihad veröffentlicht keine Finanzdaten. In Unternehmenskreisen heißt es aber, die Fluggesellschaft habe alleine im Jahr 2007 einen Verlust von mehr als einer Milliarde US-Dollar gemacht. Der Aufsichtsrat soll Hogan deswegen derzeit zunehmend unter Druck setzen.\nOb eine Zusammenarbeit von Etihad und Air Berlin wirklich gut funktionieren könnte, bezweifeln Insider. Etihad fliegt in Deutschland nur Frankfurt und München an, Air Berlin ist aber in Düsseldorf und Berlin besonders stark vertreten und betreibt ansonsten ein vergleichsweise breit aufgefächertes Streckennetz. Die Airline hatte Anfang des Jahres versucht, sich mit neuen Langstreckenflügen direkt gegen ihren größeren Konkurrenten Lufthansa zu stellen, musste das Projekt aber nach kurzer Zeit wegen hoher Anlaufverluste wieder einstellen.\nEin Einstieg von Etihad würde bedeuten, dass sich Air Berlin strategisch erneut in diese Richtung und weg vom alten Kerngeschäft der Ferienflüge bewegen müsste.Nichtsdestoweniger könnte Air Berlin einen weiteren finanzstarken Investor gut gebrauchen - alleine, um das Vertrauen in die eigene Finanzkraft zu verbessern. Der Geschäftsmann Leonard Blawatnik, ein Amerikaner russischer Herkunft, hält seit diesem Jahr 18,94 Prozent an der Fluggesellschaft.\nUnklar ist, ob Etihad eine Mehrheit an Air Berlin anstrebt. Dies wäre zwar wegen besserer Kontrolle sinnvoll, ist aber rechtlich problematisch. Air Berlin droht dann - als mehrheitlich nicht-deutsches Unternehmen - Verkehrsrechte zu verlieren. Abkommen zwischen Deutschland und den betroffenen Staaten müssten neu verhandelt werden.\n(SZ vom 19.12.2008/mel)", "url": "http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/luftfahrt-scheichs-pruefen-einstieg-bei-air-berlin-1.372014", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100613140809/http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/luftfahrt-scheichs-pruefen-einstieg-bei-air-berlin-1.372014" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Neuer Investor bei Air Berlin: Etihad erhöht auf 29 Prozent", "text": "Vor drei Jahren ist das Geschäft kurz vor der Unterschrift geplatzt, diesmal hat es geklappt: Die Fluggesellschaft Etihad aus Abu Dhabi steigt als größter Einzelaktionär bei Air Berlin ein. Für andere deutsche Fluglinien wie die Lufthansa ist das ein Ärgernis. Und auch die Finanzaufsicht mischt sich ein.\nLange hat die angeschlagene Fluggesellschaft Air Berlin nach einem finanzstarken Partner gesucht, nun hat sie ihn gefunden: Die arabische Airline Etihad aus Abu Dhabi wird ihre Anteile an der zweitgrößten deutschen Fluggesellschaft von derzeit 2,99 Prozent auf 29,21 Prozent erhöhen, teilte Air Berlin am Montag in London mit. Beide Unternehmen hätten eine umfassende strategische Zusammenarbeit vereinbart.\nBild vergrößern Die Fluglinie Etihad aus Abu Dhabi erhöht ihren Anteil an der deutschen Nummer zwei, Air Berlin, auf 29,21 Prozent. Bisher hatten die Araber knapp drei Prozent gehalten. (© dapd)\nAnzeige\nDamit wird Etihad größter Einzelaktionär der angeschlagenen Fluglinie. Weiter soll der Anteil in den kommenden zwei Jahren nicht steigen. Beide Gesellschaften wollen auch im eigentlichen Geschäft zusammenarbeiten. Die Kooperation soll im kommenden Jahr Einsparmöglichkeiten von 35 bis 40 Millionen Euro mit sich bringen.\nInsgesamt soll Etihad demnach rund 31,6 Millionen neuer Aktien zu einem Preis von 2,31 pro Stück zeichnen. Damit wird die arabische Fluggesellschaft größter Einzelaktionär der Berliner. Air Berlin fließen rund 73 Millionen Euro zu. Außerdem hätten sich die Araber dazu verpflichtet, die Anteile mindestens zwei Jahre zu halten und keine weiteren Anteile zu erwerben, hieß es.\nDiesen Vorgang wird die Finanzaufsicht BaFin nun untersuchen. \"Wir schauen uns das an\", sagte eine Sprecherin der Bonner Behörde. Für eine formelle Prüfung sei es zu früh. Insidern zufolge geht es unter anderem um die Frage, ob die Araber mit einem Dementi vor zwei Wochen die Kapitalmärkte in die Irre geführt haben könnten. Ein Etihad-Sprecher hatte damals einen Medienbericht über einen kurz bevorstehenden Einstieg per Email kommentiert: \"Der ganze Bericht ist fehlerhaft.\"\nBis Frühjahr 2012 solle Air Berlin Mitglied des Luftfahrtbündnisses Oneworld werden, meldete die Fluggesellschaft. Andere deutsche Fluglinien wie die Lufthansa hatten in den vergangenen Jahren verhindern wollen, dass arabische Gesellschaften wie Emirates, Qatar Airways und Etihad mehr Verkehrsrechte bekommen. Sie befürchten, dass ihnen dadurch das Langstreckengeschäft von Deutschland in die arabischen Länder abgegraben wird.\n600 Millionen Euro Schulden\nDie wirtschaftliche Lage von Air Berlin hatte sich in den vergangenen Monaten immer weiter verschlechtert: Die Fluggesellschaft hatte in den Jahren 2008 bis 2010 bereits Verluste ausgewiesen, seit Beginn des Jahres drückte zusätzlich die Luftverkehrsabgabe auf das Ergebnis. Bis Ende September 2011 betrug der operative Verlust schon 123 Millionen Euro, insgesamt hat Air Berlin Schulden in Höhe von 600 Millionen Euro angehäuft.\nEtihad, die nationale Fluggesellschaft Abu Dhabis, stand 2008 schon einmal kurz vor dem Einstieg bei Air Berlin. Damals platzte das Geschäft aber kurz vor der endgültigen Einigung. Etihad selbst wurde erst 2003 gegründet und ist seither, finanziert vom Emirat Abu Dhabi, auf einem steilen Expansionskurs. Die Airline macht aber immer noch Verluste in Milliardenhöhe.\nGespräche mit Etihad als möglichem neuen Investor hat Hartmut Mehdorn, 69, seit September Unternehmenschef der Flugggesellschaft, im November aufgenommen. Der vorherige Air-Berlin-Chef und Firmengründer Joachim Hunold hatte sich bis dahin immer gegen einen Verkauf gewehrt.\nDie Air-Berlin-Aktie befindet sich bislang überwiegend im Streubesitz. Zu den größten Aktionären gehören die ESAS Holding, die im Besitz der Sabanci-Familie ist, mit gut 16 Prozent und der Investor Hans-Joachim Knieps mit mehr als sieben Prozent.\n(dapd/afp/aper/grc)", "url": "http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/etihad-neuer-investor-bei-air-berlin-arabische-airline-wird-grossaktionaer-1.1238373", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20120107185725/http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/etihad-neuer-investor-bei-air-berlin-arabische-airline-wird-grossaktionaer-1.1238373" } ]

Juli 2006\nDie hoch gelobte deutsche Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft ist noch nicht zu Ende, da überraschte Südafrikas Präsident Thabo Mbeki am Freitag mit einem Superlativ. „Wir werden 2010 Gastgeber für die erfolgreichste WM sein. Das Land wird sein Versprechen halten“, sagte das Staatsoberhaupt zwei Tage vor dem Finale 2006 bei einer Afrika-Feier vor 800 geladenen Gästen im Berliner „Tempodrom“.\nIn Anwesenheit von UN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan, Fifa-Präsident Joseph Blatter und des Chefs des deutschen WM-Organisationskomitees, Franz Beckenbauer, wurde das Logo für das Turnier in vier Jahren enthüllt. Folkloristisch, schwungvoll und mit moderner Grafik gestaltet zeigt es vor dem Hintergrund afrikanischer Fahnen einen stilisierten schwarzen Fußballer, der einen Fallrückzieher vollführt. Tänze, Feuerwerk und Märchen Eingerahmt wurde die Präsentation von einem afrikanischen Showspektakel mit Tänzen, Feuerwerk und der Märchenerzählerin Gina Mlophe, die Geschichten über „Mama Africa“ darbot. Den afrikanischen Fußball repräsentierten die Stars vergangener Jahre George Weah (Liberia), Abedi Pelé (Ghana) und Roger Milla (Kamerun). Großes Lob zollte Kofi Annan den Organisatoren der WM 2006. Die Deutschen hätten zwar nicht das Finale erreicht, „aber sie haben dadurch gewonnen, daß sie die beste Weltmeisterschaft organisiert haben. Ihre Mannschaft hat die ganze Nation begeistert“. Fußball sei eine „universelle Sprache, und sie beherrschen diese Sprache“, sagte er. Laut Blatter soll der Weltpolitiker aus Ghana bei der Vorbereitung der WM 2010 eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Nach Jahrzehnten voller Probleme und Auseinandersetzungen komme die WM 2010 „zum richtigen Zeitpunkt nach Afrika“, sagte Mbeki. Er lobte das Auftreten der afrikanischen Teams bei der Deutschland-WM und hofft, daß der World Cup 2010 „in Afrika bleibt“. Das südafrikanische Staatsoberhaupt zeigte sich erfreut über die von Beckenbauer zugesagte Unterstützung: „Wir brauchen Deutschlands Hilfe.“ Seine Rede beendete er auf Deutsch mit dem Satz: „Kommen Sie 2010 nach Afrika.“ „Wir brauchen Deutschlands Hilfe“ Blatter sprach von einem „Tag der Freude und Hoffnung“. Vor dem Hintergrund kritischer Stimmen über den Stand der Vorbereitungen vier Jahre vor der nächsten WM sagte der Präsident des Welt- Fußballverbandes: „Wir vertrauen Südafrika.“ Die von ihm stark geförderte erstmalige Austragung des Weltcups in Afrika nannte er einen Akt der „Gerechtigkeit für den afrikanischen Kontinent“. Die WM 2010 wird in neun Städten und zehn Stadien veranstaltet.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Bush voices suspicions over Iran's nuclear intentions", "text": "Bush voices suspicions over Iran's nuclear intentions By Judy Keen and Barbara Slavin, USA TODAY CRAWFORD, Texas — President Bush said Tuesday that he is \"very deeply suspicious\" of Iran's nuclear ambitions but has been told its new president is willing to resume negotiations aimed at preventing Iran from producing nuclear weapons. Answering questions from reporters at his ranch after meeting with his economic team, Bush said he had just learned that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had said he would reopen discussions with Great Britain, France and Germany. \"That's a positive development,\" Bush said. (Related video: Bush discusses Iran) AP Bush In Tehran, Ahmadinejad said he had new ideas to resolve the impasse and was ready to continue talks. But he called the latest proposal by the European countries \"an insult to the Iranian nation.\" Iran rejected on Monday the offer to provide an outside source of nuclear fuel for power plants. In return, the European proposal calls for Iran to give up its nuclear fuel program. Bush spoke as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, held an emergency session on Iran's resumption of a program to make nuclear fuel. On Monday, Iran restarted the process of turning raw uranium into uranium hexafluoride gas, which can be enriched into fuel for power plants or bombs. The agency's 35-member board is considering a resolution calling on Iran to suspend the program again and return to talks. A vote is likely this week. \"We need to get back to negotiations and avoid the escalation,\" said Mark Gwozdecky, a spokesman for the IAEA in Vienna. Further complicating the situation: The Bush administration has not decided whether to give Iran's new president a visa to address a meeting of the U.N. General Assembly in September. Iran hid much of its nuclear program from the U.N. agency for two decades. It is believed to be several years away from building bombs. Bush met with economic advisers, including Treasury Secretary John Snow, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Budget Director Joshua Bolten, Council of Economic Adviser Chairman Ben Bernanke and National Economic Council Director Al Hubbard. \"Americans have more money in their pocket, and that's good news.\" Bush said, citing 200,000 jobs created in July and economic growth in the second quarter of a 3.4% annual rate. He didn't respond directly to a question about interest rate increases. After he spoke, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the 10th consecutive time. The increase of a quarter of a percentage point brings the rates to their highest level in four years. \"Rising interest rates, rising debt and fewer good-paying jobs are making it harder for America's families to make ends meet,\" Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean said in a statement. \"The president should use his Texas vacation to spend time overhauling his economic policies, not staging photo-ops.\" Bush said he's more concerned about energy prices and health care costs than he is about rising interest rates: \"Those are the two areas that we see as having a greater effect on ... the future of economic growth.\" Bush also said he'll renew efforts this fall for passage of an overhaul of Social Security and limits in cash awards in medical liability lawsuits. He said he looks forward to recommendations due next month from a presidential panel studying ways to simplify the tax code. The panel said last month that the alternative minimum tax — which was meant to ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share but now affects many middle-class taxpayers — should be abolished. If it is, the administration presumably will have to find ways to replace the $1.2 trillion the tax would collect over the next decade.

Yesterday, Palestinian police were deployed in the centre and south of the Gaza Strip to prevent attacks on Jewish settlements.\nFollowing a call by Mr Abbas for a ceasefire, Israel said yesterday it was sharply reducing its military operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.\nThousands of Hamas supporters took to the streets of Gaza yesterday to celebrate the victory.

She describes herself as a \"very religious\" Muslim. She wears the hejab, a scarf wrapped tightly over her head. She does not shake hands with men outside of her family.\nTwo weeks ago, Rheime became the first woman ever elected mayor of a Palestinian community, an achievement that stunned many residents in this traditional, patriarchal society.\n\"It's a sign of change, a quantum leap,\" Rheime said while sitting in her newly painted office with blank white walls and peach draperies. \"I'm deeply concerned about transmitting the picture of the active Islamic woman to the world, to wipe away the blemish of the veil.\"\nShe won public office with support from voters who do not fit Bush's conception of democracy in the Middle East: backers of the Islamic Resistance Movement, known as Hamas, which the U.S. government has designated a terrorist group, and people who consider her jailed husband a patriot because he drove the getaway car in the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi in October 2001.\nRheime's victory exemplifies the contradictions between Western views of democracy and its actual practice in a Middle Eastern environment.\nThe results of Palestinian municipal elections in the West Bank last month, the first in 29 years, revealed a potentially fundamental shift in Palestinian politics. Islamic candidates, most of them members of Hamas who did not openly declare their association for fear of arrest or harassment by Israeli troops, won about 35 percent of all local council races. In Gaza on Thursday, Hamas won elections to control seven of 10 town councils.\nFemale candidates claimed 52 of 306 open seats in the West Bank -- nearly 17 percent of the elected positions and more than 2 1/2 times the quota that had been reserved for women in an effort to broaden their representation in a male-dominated society.\nLike Rheime, many of the winning female candidates drew support from the Islamic movement. Though she ran as an independent for a seat on the council representing the West Bani Zaid Municipality, she was also listed on the Islamic parties' ticket.\nFive other Islamic candidates won seats on the 13-member council in the Dec. 23 vote, including another woman, Raidah Rimawi. One Islamic candidate ran -- and won -- from his Israeli jail cell. Another winning Islamic councilman was arrested at his house by Israeli troops three weeks after the election. Both are being held without charge under administrative detention, according to fellow council members.\nThe Fatah movement, the dominant Palestinian political party founded by longtime Palestinian leader and icon Yasser Arafat, who died in November, claimed five seats. Only one member of the former all-Fatah council sought reelection. He lost. Rheime was elected mayor by the council on Jan. 16 with a seven-vote majority -- the five Islamic members, a communist and a socialist.\nRheime and her Islamic party colleagues on the council -- two of whom are distant relatives -- believe that convincing the West to change its perception of Islam is just as critical as repairing potholes and improving the drinking water for the residents of this bucolic but economically ravaged voting district of 6,000 people, located barely 20 miles west of the skyscrapers of affluent Tel Aviv.\nSaed Rheime, 34-year-old imam of a local mosque who holds a masters degree in theology, is Islamic in his politics and ideology and embraces his party's campaign slogan, \"Islam is the solution.\" He won more votes than any other council member in West Bani Zaid .", "url": "http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45603-2005Jan28.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20121106160813/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45603-2005Jan28.html" } ]

La Bolsa de Nueva York, que ya cerró con subidas el viernes a raíz de la filtración del nombre del futuro Departamento del Tesoro, Timothy Geithner, ha cerrado la sesión de este lunes con un alza del 4,71% en el índice Dow Jones y del 5,96% en el mercado Nasdaq, empujada también por las ganancias registradas en toda Europa y tras el anuncio de BarackObama sobre quiénes formarán su equipo económico. Las acciones de Citigroup han sido precisamente las que más han subido: un 53.75%, para quedar en 5,95 dólares por título.\nPor su parte, el Ibex 35 ha dejado atrás las pérdidas de la semana pasada para subir en la jornada del lunes un 8,13%, la cuarta mayor del año, y para quedarse en 8.622,62 puntos, en un día marcado por el plan de rescate de Citigroup y las subidas en los mercados europeos, animados a última hora por los planes del Gobierno británico, que prevé estímulos fiscales por valor del 1% del PIB.\nLas mayores subidas fueron para Gamesa (22,08%), seguido de Acciona (16,72%), OHL (15,42%) e Iberdrola (14,26%). En el sector financiero, Bankinter ganó un 11,20%, por delante de BBVA (9,78%), Santander (9,23%) y Banco Popular (6,82%).\nLa euforia bursátil se ha extendido por toda Europa, con el Dax alemán ganando un 10,13% al cierre, el CAC-40 parisino un 10,09%, el Eurostoxx un 9,35% y el Mib de Milán un 7,37%. El FTSE de Londres ha cerrado con una subida del 9,84%, su mejor resultado en 20 años muy animado por las medidas anunciadas por el ministro Alistair Darling para afrontar la crisis.\nDudas sobre la capacidad de Lukoil\nPor otro lado, siguen las declaraciones y reacciones sobre la compra de Repsol por Lukoil. Desde el ámbito político, el portavoz económico del PP ha insistido en las críticas al Gobierno por no impedir la posible entrada de Lukoil en la principal petrolera española al asegurar que \"si hay que salvar la cara a alguien -en referencia a Sacyr- que no sea a cambio de que se le parta la cara a todos los españoles\".\nEl descenso de este lunes de Sacyr, que ha perdido casi un 5%, está motivado, según los analistas, como los de Ibersecurities, en las dificultades de que se alcance el precio de 27 euros por acción que se anunció al cierre del viernes, dada la caída del precio del petróleo y la mala situación del mercado de deuda. La petrolera rusa ha sondeado a las entidades financiadoras de Sacyr sobre la posibilidad de que le presten 5.200 millones de euros para pagar su entrada en Repsol YPF, el mismo importe que concedieron a la constructora para comprar su participación en 2006.\nEn la misma línea, analistas citados por el diario financiero ruso Védomosti dudan de que la mayor petrolera del país disponga del capital necesario para cerrar la compra. Las deudas a corto plazo de la compañía privada, ascendían a 2.300 millones de dólares a mitad de año. Según esas fuentes, dispondría en esa fecha de 1.600 millones de dólares de capital.\nAntes de la apertura en Europa, las bolsas asiáticas cerraban en números rojos. Con el paqué de Tokio cerrado por festivo, el principal indicador coreano, el Kospi, cedió más de un 3%.\nFortis afirma que la entrada de Lukoil podría permitir a Criteria alcanzar el 50% en Gas Natural El acuerdo de venta de una participación del 29,9% de Sacyr Vallehermoso y Criteria en Repsol a la rusa Lukoil implicaría de manera colateral una salida parcial o total de la petrolera de Gas Natural, con la posibilidad para el holding de participadas de La Caixa de elevar su participación en la gasista hasta el 49,9% sin necesidad de lanzar una oferta pública de adquisición (OPA) de acciones, según un informe de Fortis. Criteria y Repsol, los dos principales accionistas de Gas Natural con una participación del 37,5% y del 30,85% respectivamente, tienen un pacto de control y gobierno en la gasista. Sin embargo, Criteria no estaría interesado en que Lukoil tuviera una participación importante en Gas Natural, considerando además la actual operación de compra de Unión Fenosa por la gasista, las inferencias en la gestión diaria de la compañía, así como las implicaciones geoestratégicas de un control en Gas Natural, según el analista de la entidad.", "url": "http://www.elpais.com/articulo/economia/Ibex/sube/813/jornada/grandes/ganancias/bolsas/europeas/elpepueco/20081124elpepueco_3/Tes", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20151204033439/http://economia.elpais.com/economia/2008/11/24/actualidad/1227515575_850215.html" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Washington invertirá cerca de 16.000 millones de euros para salvar a Citigroup", "text": "El Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos ha anunciado este lunes que invertirá 20.000 millones de dólares (más de 15.800 millones de euros) en el gigante financiero Citigroup, que atraviesa serios problemas económicos tras el descalabro de sus títulos en Bolsa, por medio del plan de rescate de activos a cambio de acciones preferenciales. El Tesoro y la Reserva Federal han justificado el plan de rescate, que además de ayudar a uno de los bancos más importantes del país y del mundo prevé hacerse con participaciones preferentes del a misma, por la necesidad de recuperar la confianza en el sistema financiero y en las instituciones financieras norteamericanas. Por el momento, la medida ha alcanzado su objetivo y ha impulsado al Dow Jones y a los principales parqués europeos al alza, al tiempo que las acciones de la entidad subían un 53.75% en Wall Street.\nAntes de esta ayuda, el que fuera el mayor banco por capitalización bursátil del mundo hasta 2006, cuando fue superado por Bank of America, y que cuenta con casi dos billones de euros en activos, perdió la semana pasada más de un 70% de su valor en Bolsa hasta cerrar en 3,77 dólares por acción, muy lejos de los 57,50 dólares que llegaron a costar cuando marcaron su máximo histórico en agosto de 2000.\nPlan complejo\nAdemás, el plan establece que Washington suministre protección contra pérdidas, junto con la Corporación de Seguros de Depósitos Federales, sobre unos 306.000 millones de dólares (alrededor de 242.000 millones de euros) contra eventuales pérdidas en préstamos y valores respaldados por bienes raíces inmobiliarios y comerciales -activos tóxicos-, que seguirán perteneciendo al balance de Citigoup, duramente castigado por los inversores con unas pérdidas acumuladas de 20.000 millones de dólares (más de 15.800 millones de euros) en los últimos cuatro trimestres.\nPara completar el paquete, el Tesoro ha asegurado que la Reserva Federal está preparada para atajar cualquier riesgo adicional a través de una oferta de préstamo sin aval de recursos, todo ello con el objetivo de evitar una situación como la provocada por la quiebra de Lehman Brothers en septiembre.\nEl compromiso alcanzado pretende dar al Citigroup \"un conjunto de garantías, acceso a la liquidez y el capital\", porque el Gobierno \"se ha comprometido a apoyar la estabilidad del mercado financiero, requisito previo para el restablecimiento de un vigoroso crecimiento económico\", indica la Fed a través de un comunicado hecho público la pasada madrugada tras las negociaciones a contrarreloj del fin de semana.\nSegún ha indicado The New York Times en su edición electrónica, el plan aplicado al Citigroup \"podría servir de modelo para otros bancos\"y marcaría un cambio en la oscilante misión de rescate financiero del Gobierno. El Departamento del Tesoro había propuesto adquirir los activos tóxicos de los bancos, pero en un giro a su estrategia comenzó a inyectar capitales directamente a las instituciones financieras, recuerda el periódico.\nEl coloso financiero presidido desde noviembre de 2007 por Vikram Pandit era hace apenas dos años el banco más poderoso del mundo con 200 millones de clientes y ahora atraviesa por un momento crítico junto a los bancos de inversión Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers y Merrill Lynch, el gigante asegurador AIG o la automovilística General Motors, que lucha por evitar la bancarrota. En este sentido, el rescate supone un nuevo esfuerzo del Gobierno para relanzar la industria financiera del país, del que Citigroup ha sido una de sus principales figuras desde su fundación en 1812, y proteger a los contribuyentes y a la economía\" nacionales.\nHasta ahora, Citigroup, que la semana pasada anunció que despedirá a 50.000 trabajadores, se había negado a que Washington saliera en su rescate tras un primer plan de ayuda fallido por valor de 25.000 millones de dólares (unos20.000 millones), ya que aseguraba disponer del colchón de capital (50.000 millones de dólares) y de la liquidez para absorber futuras pérdidas originadas por la crisis y proteger sus depósitos.\nCambio en la dirección\nEs muy probable que, con la aplicación del plan de rescate, se proceda también a un cambio en el equipo de gestión del banco, que claramente no cuenta con el respeto de Wall Street, informa Sandro Pozzi.\nAnte la dificultad de superar las turbulencias, el presidente electo de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, está acelerando la formación de su equipo económicopara fijar un plan que puede ascender a 700.000 millones. En esta dinámica, este lunes ha anunciado el nombramiento de Timothy Geithner como próximo secretario del Tesoro, con lo que se trata de enviar a los mercados financieros mundiales y a la economía en general el mensaje de que la nueva Administración está ya manos a la obra en la elaboraciónde las medidas que se precisan para sacar al capitalismo del shock depresivo en el que vive.", "url": "http://www.elpais.com/articulo/economia/Washington/invertira/cerca/16000/millones/euros/salvar/Citigroup/elpepueco/20081124elpepueco_1/Tes", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20151204033518/http://economia.elpais.com/economia/2008/11/24/actualidad/1227515573_850215.html" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Reino Unido dedicará el 1% del PIB a salir de la crisis", "text": "El ministro de Economía británico, Alistair Darling, ha avanzado un plan de estímulos fiscales para aliviar la situación de la economía británica por valor de 20.000 millones de libras (más de 23.400 millones de euros), cerca del 1% del PIB británico. Darling explicó el plan ante el Parlamento durante la presentación de los presupuestos preliminares del Estado para el curso 2009-2010, muy esperados en esta ocasión debido a la actual crisis económica.\nAdemás, Darling ha anunciado un descenso del IVA británico, que pasa del 17,5% al 15% en una medida destinada a relanzar la economía y que estará en vigor hasta 2009, cuando se prevé que la situación económica mejore, en una medida que ya había sido anunciada por los laboristas. El gobierno laborista también ha anunciado una disminución de las previsiones de crecimiento de la economía de las islas, que crecerá este año un 0,75% y pasará a decrecer entre el 0,75% y el 1,50% en 2009 en lo que será la mayor contracción desde 1991. En marzo, los datos del propio Darling preveían un crecimiento de entre el 2,25% y el 2,75% para Reino Unido. \"Confío en que la ralentización sea más corta de lo que hubiese sido si no se hubiesen adoptado estas medidas\", ha asegurado el ministro. Entre las medidas fiscales se encuentra una subida de los impuestos (del 40% al 45%) a las rentas más altas (176.400euros) a partir de 2011, con lo que se rompe, además, con un compromiso electoral.\nSarkozy calcula que las medidas de Washington serán \"efectivas\" entre finales de marzo y principios de abril.\nPara compensar en parte los efectos de la reducción temporal del IVA, los presupuestos británicos contemplan un incremento de los impuestos al alcohol y el tabaco a partir de diciembre de 2009, así como un aumento de dos peniques por litro en las tasas al combustible desde el 1 de diciembre de 2008. Con estas medidas y el aumento del déficit, hasta el 8%, el gobierno espera tener los suficientes recursos como para afrontar los peores momentos de la crisis. El anuncio ha animado a las bolsas europeas, que ya subían gracias al rescate de Citigroup, que han registrado una jornada de fuertes subidas.\nMerkel y Sarkozy, en contra\nSobre estos planes, la canciller alemana, Angela Merkel, ha rechazado desde París adoptar rebajas del IVA para atajar la crisis al igual que ha anunciado Reino Unido. \"Una reducción general del IVA puede ser la respuesta apropiada para ciertos países pero no es una medida adecuada para Francia y Alemania\", ha asegurado la dirigente tras entrevistarse con el presidente Nicolas Sarkozy en el marco de las negociaciones sobre el plan de choque que deben acordar esta semana los países de la UE en el Consejo Europeo.\nEn la misma línea, Merkel ha advertido contra las prisas y los efectos perjudiciales que tendría acordar un plan económico de forma \"precipitada\" ya que las informaciones de las que se dispone a día de hoy \"no son siempre fáciles\" de interpretar y se corre el riesgo de confundir \"acción y precipitación\". Por este motivo, han abogado por medidas de relanzamiento económico \"apropiados para cada país en función de su situación\" y coordinados con el resto de la UE. Ambos países quieren que Europa entre en el \"camino de la coordinación\", ha declarado por su parte Sarkozy, que también comparte la visión de Merkel sobre la rebaja de este impuesto.\nOtro punto en común entre ambos líderes ha sido su apuesta por la industria del automóvil. \"No dejaremos caer a la industria del automóvil\". De este lado, según el presidente francés, no se puede encontrar \"en una situación con un régimen de ayudas de Estado\" que imponga no ayudar a los fabricantes de automóviles europeos y, al mismo tiempo, \"ponerles obligaciones suplementarias para fabricar vehículos limpios\", mientras los estadounidenses lanzan un plan de ayudas de 25.000 millones de dólares a sus tres gigantes de la automoción.", "url": "http://www.elpais.com/articulo/economia/Reino/Unido/dedicara/PIB/salir/crisis/elpepueco/20081124elpepueco_8/Tes", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20180629234237/https://elpais.com/economia/2008/11/24/actualidad/1227515580_850215.html" } ]

They were arrested on suspicion of being involved in forced labour and domestic servitude, contrary to Section 71 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.\nThe arrest was the final act in a highly sensitive, secretive investigation aimed first at rescuing the women and then getting evidence to detain the suspects.\nIt began when the Irish woman made an audacious telephone call for help last month. She acted after seeing a television documentary and watching the founder of an organisation called the Freedom Charity being interviewed.\nAneeta Prem, the founder of the organisation, said it was a news interview she carried out after a documentary that led to the call for help. \"The Irish lady saw me on TV and the name of the charity was a catalyst. That is exactly what they wanted, they wanted freedom,\" she said.\nThe charity contacted the police. Tense negotiations took place over a week during secret telephone calls that the women were able to make from the house, before – in a carefully choreographed rescue – the three women were able to walk out of the property on 25 October, where officers were waiting.\nThey were taken into specialist care, and over days and weeks they were coaxed into talking about what had happened to them. Detective Inspector Kevin Hyland, who leads the Met's human trafficking unit, said what had been uncovered in the home was like nothing the police had ever experienced before.\n\"In London we have investigated cases where people have been held in servitude or forced labour for up to 10 years, but 30 years is quite extraordinary and not something we have seen before,\" he said.\nHe added the youngest victim had probably spent her whole life \"under the control or in the company of these people\".\nHyland said the three women were highly traumatised and were being kept in a place of safety. He said it had taken time following their rescue for them to be able to talk to the police.\n\"There's a lot of difficulties with the victims,\" he said. \"These are deeply traumatised people and we are getting professional help to establish the events that have happened to them.\n\"It's been a very difficult process to establish the facts, one that we haven't experienced before.\n\"When we had established the facts we conducted the arrests.\n\"We've established that all three women were held in this situation for at least 30 years.\n\"They had limited freedom, there was some controlled freedom but their lives were allegedly one of domestic servants or forced labour. They were living in a normal community, but that's not unusual for cases of servitude, trafficking or forced labour.\"\nMore details of the rescue emerged later on Thursday. The Met police said the initial call to the charity was made by the Irish captive on 18 October, after the women had watched a documentary about forced marriage.\nThe woman told the helpline she had been held against her will in a house in London for more than 30 years. She also said there were two others with her.\nThe charity passed the information on to the police and detectives began to investigate to establish the exact location where the women were being held.\nAt the same time, workers from the Freedom Charity maintained contact with the women in a series of secret phone calls.\nThe call to the charity came through some time after the TV documentary was broadcast.\nPrem said her workers treated \"every call as a last chance\" and immediately sought to help the women. \"We gained their trust over a period of telephone calls when they could telephone. That had to be done in secret,\" she said.\n\"They were very brave to carry on with that. It was very difficult for them to get to the telephone. They gave us set times when they were able to speak to us.\"\nThe rescue was planned for 25 October when arrangements were made to meet them at an agreed location.\nTwo of the women – the 30-year-old and 57-year-old – walked out of the house and met the charity workers and the police as planned. They then identified the location where they had been held and the police moved in to rescue the eldest woman from the property on the same day.\nDescribing the conditions the women have been living in, Prem said: \"They felt they were in massive danger.\" Their alleged captors were the \"heads of the family\" and the women were \"absolutely terrified\" of them.\n\"They were living lives of domestic servitude,\" she said. \"They did have rooms that they could use but they were really restricted about what they could do and could never leave the front door.\"\nPrem told BBC Newsnight: \"They are very distressed about what's happened but they're making steady process. I've spent a great deal of time with them and think they're making as much progress as we can expect them to. It's been very difficult for them.\"\nDescribing the moment they walked out of the house, Prem said: \"They threw their arms around me and thanked me for work we have done … it was a very, very emotional time.\"\nThe case has echoes of abductions of three woman by Ariel Castro in Ohio in the US in 2002 and 2004, and of the Elisabeth Fritzl and Natascha Kampusch incarcerations in Austria.\nOn 25 October the rescue operation came to fruition, and the women were able to walk to freedom without their captors realising. \"It was planned that they would be able to walk out of the property. The police were on standby,\" said Prem. \"I don't believe the neighbours knew anything about it at all. It was just an ordinary house in an ordinary street.\"\nIn the offices of the charity, the workers were elated when the call confirming they were safe came through. \"When we found out that they came out of that house, there were huge cheers here that they were safe,\" said Prem.\nDespite her work on so-called \"honour\" crimes and forced marriages, she – like the police – had never seen enslavement of this magnitude.\n\"We have had no experience of anything like this before. We have spoken to other people around this and it's out of our comfort zones,\" she said.", "url": "http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/21/london-slaves-freed-after-30-years-captivity", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20131122082659/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/21/london-slaves-freed-after-30-years-captivity" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Three women rescued after 'decades of slavery' in south London home", "text": "Three \"highly traumatised\" women have been rescued from a house in south London where they appear to have been held captive for three decades, Scotland Yard has said.\nA 69-year-old Malaysian woman, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old British woman were all rescued from the residential address on Thursday morning by detectives from the Metropolitan police human trafficking unit.\nTwo suspects – a 67-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman – were arrested at the address under the investigation into slavery and domestic servitude, the force said in a statement.\nScotland Yard said: \"Police were contacted in October by Freedom Charity after they had received a call from a woman stating she had been held against her will in a house in London for more than 30 years.\n\"Further inquiries by police revealed the location of the house and with the help of sensitive negotiations conducted by the charity the three women, a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old British woman, were all rescued.\n\"All three women, who were highly traumatised, were taken to a place of safety where they remain.\"\nAneeta Prem, founder of the Freedom Charity, said the three women were in effect kept in \"domestic slavery\" and felt they were not allowed to leave the house because of their fear of their alleged captors.\nThere did not appear to any sexual element to the alleged captivity, Prem added.\n\"One of the key things that has come up is that these three ladies were absolutely terrified by these people,\" she told Sky News.\nPrem said one of the woman called the charity's helpline, which led to a week of calls before the operation to release them. The contact was in secret because \"they felt like they were in massive danger\", Prem said. \"With the help of the police we were able to get them out.\"\nThe address where they were found was \"just an ordinary house in an ordinary street that wouldn't raise any concerns with anybody else\", she said, adding that neighbours did not appear to have known anything.\nThe three presumed victims had access to their own rooms but were \"very restricted on everything they could do\", Prem said.\nThe women were all together in a place of safety and were doing well, she added.\nPrem said there was concern that the women would not in the end want to leave \"because obviously 30 years, being held in a very difficult situation, you become very institutionalised to a very bad way of living, so we had to ensure that when they were going to come out they didn't then decide they were going to go back in\".\nAt a police press conference officers said they believed the 30-year-old woman who was rescued had lived in the house her entire life against her will, had no contact with outside world that most would consider normal. The three women were kept under a strong degree of control, officers said. Reports said the house concerned was in the Lambeth borough area of south London.\nDetective Inspector Kevin Hyland, from the Met police's Human Trafficking Unit, said: \"We applaud the actions of Freedom Charity and are working in partnership to support these victims who appear to have been held for over 30 years. We have launched an extensive investigation to establish the facts surrounding these very serious allegations.\"\nHe added: \"A television documentary on forced marriages relating to the work of the Freedom Charity was the catalyst that prompted one of the victims to call for help and led to their rescue.\"", "url": "http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/21/women-rescued-decades-slavery-south-london", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20131121163616/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/21/women-rescued-decades-slavery-south-london" }, { "language": "en", "title": "How tiny charity uncovered Britain's most extreme case of domestic slavery", "text": "The Freedom Charity volunteer staffing the organisation's 24-hour helpline one day in October would not have been expecting the startling phone call that would lead to the uncovering of what the Metropolitan police would call the most extreme case of domestic slavery they have seen.\nThe tiny charity specialises in going into schools to deliver talks about how to recognise the signs of forced marriage.\nIt encourages calls to its helpline from predominantly south Asian youngsters worried they are being pushed into marriage against their will, or fearful of becoming the victim of so-called \"honour crimes\".\nBut the volunteer knew exactly how to respond.\nAlthough the story she heard – of three women held captive in a south London house for 30 years – seemed on a scale that was hard to believe, she recognised the telltale signs of fear and coercion.\nThe women had watched an ITV documentary about forced marriage which featured the work of Freedom Charity.\nAccording to the charity's chair, Lord Harris of Haringey, that gave the captives the confidence to make the initial contact.\n\"One of the women saw the programme and clearly thought 'they look like nice, safe people' and made the call.\"\nMore calls followed over the next few days as the helpline operators patiently built up a rapport with the nervous women.\nWhen the three of them walked free from the house to the safety of waiting police officers in late October, at the conclusion of an operation planned with \"utmost sensitivity and secrecy\", there were cheers at Freedom Charity.\n\"There were lots of tears and hugging,\" said charity founder Aneeta Prem.\nExtraordinary as this particular case was, enforced domestic slavery is not unique in the UK, although it is often hard to detect, hidden as it is behind closed doors on ordinary streets in ordinary towns and cities.\nDetective Inspector Kevin Hyland's specialist police unit receives reports of 200 slavery cases a year. \"We've dealt with cases, and convicted people, who've kept children in houses in similar circumstances – it's something we would bring to the attention of communities that it does happen,\" he said.\nKatie Barker, UK community action coordinator at the charity Stop the Traffik, says that trafficking is one of world's fastest growing crimes, and more common in the UK than people may think.\n\"It's always shocking. But,\" she added \"we were not necessarily surprised\" as reports of the story of the three women emerged. \"We know that this goes on.\"\nThis case involved three women: one British and aged 30, thought to have been held at the house in Lambeth all her life; a 57-year old from Ireland; and a 69-year-old from Malaysia.\n\"Anyone can be trafficked,\" says Barker. \"It does not matter where you are from or what your background is.\n\"It's about vulnerability: coercion is a major part of trafficking. If people can be exploited, then someone will exploit them.\" The Walk Free Foundation estimates there are between 4,300 and 4,600 slaves in the UK.\nIn the three months since April there were 383 referrals to the Home Office trafficking database, comprising individuals from 51 countries of origin.\nExperts warn that as the referral mechanism is dependent on self-reporting, the figure may be higher.\nThe most common \"exploitation types\" for both adults and minors found to have been trafficked were domestic servitude and labour exploitation, although significant numbers of referrals involved trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation.\nA series of recent court cases have shed some light on the phenomenon. In one of the most high profile examples, in July last year, four members of a family, described by police as \"an organised criminal group\", were found guilty at Luton crown court of forcing destitute men into servitude.\nTommy Sr, James-John, Patrick and Josie Connors were convicted of controlling, exploiting, verbally abusing and beating the men for financial gain and face a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.\nMany of the victims were homeless and addicted to alcohol or drugs. They had been recruited in soup kitchens and outside dole offices and promised cash payments for manual labour.\nOnce in the family's grip they were forced to work up to 19 hours a day for no pay while being routinely abused, underfed and housed in filthy sheds and horse boxes.\nA pre-dawn raid in September freed 23 men from the Greenacres caravan site at Little Billington near Leighton Buzzard. Convictions followed under section 71 of the 2009 Coroners and Justice Act, which outlaws slavery and servitude.\nA report this year by the Centre for Social Justice thinktank, entitled It Happens Here, warned that despite William Wilberforce's abolition campaign over 200 years ago, there are still slaves in Britain.\nMany cases, it said, do not involve international trafficking: \"Increasingly we are seeing that UK nationals are also forced into modern slavery, without crossing any international border.\"", "url": "http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/21/slave-women-freed-london-freedom-charity", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20131122094431/http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/21/slave-women-freed-london-freedom-charity" } ]

La bala de 9 milímetros -disparada con un arma semiautomática- entró por la parte frontal de la cabeza de la congresista, le atravesó el cerebro, y salió por la parte posterior.\nSegún Darcy Slaten, portavoz del Centro Médico Universitario, donde Gifford se encuentra internada, los doctores sometieron a la congresista a una prueba de escáner TAC (tomografía axial computarizada) y su situación no se modificó en las últimas horas. Tras ser invertenida, se encuentra en coma farmacológico.\nEl daño que presenta es por la bala y el trayecto que provocó la bala, que se movió hacia el lado izquierdo, el que controla los sentidos y el habla. \"La intervención estuvo orientada a quitarle la presión del cerebro generada por la bala. Pero resultó exitoso\", dijeron los médicos en conferencia de prensa.\nPersonas auxiliadas - Foto: AP Foto 1 de 14\n\"Debido al tipo de heridas que presenta la congresista no podemos hablar menos que de semanas para su recuperación. De todos modos no lo podemos precisar. Ella respondió a pedidos muy simples como abrir o cerrar los ojos, pero aún no habla\", explicaron.\n\"Cuando uno recibe una herida de bala en la cabeza las chances de vivir son muy pequeñas. Aquí estamos muy optimistas porque la paciente está con vida\", agregaron.\nEl sospechoso, identificado como Jared Lee Loughner, de 22 años, disparó a quemarropa con una pistola semiautomática afuera de un supermercado en la tarde del sábado. Fue atrapado y arrojado al suelo por dos transeúntes después del tiroteo. En el hecho murieron seis personas y oras doce resultaron heridas.\nClarence Dupnik, uno de los oficiales a cargo de la investigación, informó que el sospechoso \"tiene un pasado algo traumático\" y planteó que desde la fuerza creen que \"no actuó solo\". Añadió, también, que alimentan la hipótesis de que Giffords era el objetivo del hombre armado.\nAdemás, lamentó que las amenazas contra los políticos del país sean cada vez más comunes y afirmó que él mismo las ha recibido.\nLa policía de Tucson indicó que el sospechoso intentó huir, pero fue atrapado por un transeúnte y detenido por los agentes. Andrea Gooden, una testigo que estaba en una oficina enfrente de la tienda de comestibles, dijo a Fox News que vio gente salir corriendo del lugar y gritando, antes de que llegaran la policía y los bomberos dos minutos más tarde.\nPor otro lado, agregó, que el asesino disparó contra Giffords desde una distancia corta cuando esta se dirigía a un grupo de simpatizantes. Otra testigo dijo a CNN que escuchó entre 15 y 20 disparos y vio gente corriendo y gritando antes de que llegara la policía y camiones de los bomberos dos minutos más tarde. Imágenes mostraban paramédicos corriendo con camillas hacia helicópteros desde el lugar del crimen.\nEl hecho conmovió a Washington, donde el Congreso suspendió una votación clave sobre la reforma a la salud la próxima semana. Luego de una amarga campaña electoral el año pasado, algunos sugieren que la fuerte retórica de los políticos pudo haber jugado un papel en el tiroteo.\nAcusación. Loughner fue acusado de cinco cargos de asesinato o intento de asesinato. Así consta en el escrito de acusación que ha sido formulado contra Loughner, que mañana tiene previsto comparecer ante un juez, según informó la cadena CNN.\nLos cargos son tres, por intento de asesinato de un funcionario público, como son la congresista Gabrielle Giffords y dos de los miembros de su equipo que resultaron heridos, Pam Simon y Ron Barber, que también permanecen hospitalizados.\nLos otros dos cargos son por asesinato en primer grado, uno por la muerte del juez federal John Roll, y otro por Gabriel Zimmerman, uno de los directores del equipo de la congresista.\nEn una comparecencia esta mañana, el director de la Oficina Federal de Investigaciones (FBI), Robert Mueller, indicó que estos cargos son solo el principio, y que Loughner podría ser procesado bajo la ley que persigue el terrorismo doméstico.\nLa investigación. Según reporta el sitio del diario The New York Times, el magistrado federal, John Roll, que murió en el ataque, llevaba varios casos de inmigrantes y la legisladora era una férrea crítica de la ley de inimigración de Arizona, que busca perseguir, identificar y deportar a los inmigrantes ilegales. Sin embargo, ella presionó para que se aumente el número de tropas que custodian la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos, y está en favor de que la legalización de los inmigrantes esté condicionada a la verificación de antecedentes penales, el pago de impuestos y el aprendizaje de inglés. De acuerdo a sus familiares, como publicó el sitio, la mujer ya habia varias amenazas en los últimos años.\nJared L. Loughner, el presunto agresor Foto: AP /\nQuién es la legisladora.

April 2008\nDer Aufbau des geplanten europäischen Satellitennavigationssystems Galileo kann beginnen. Das Europäische Parlament stimmte am Mittwoch einer Verordnung über die Finanzierung und Auftragsvergabe des Milliardenprojekts zu. Zuvor war ein Kompromiss mit dem EU-Ministerrat vereinbart worden, der das Programm jetzt nur noch formal auf den Weg bringen muss. Galileo soll bis 2013 in Betrieb genommen werden.\nDie Europäische Kommission will die Aufträge zum Aufbau des Systems noch bis zur Sommerpause ausschreiben. Aufträge werden für die Systemplanung, die Bodeneinrichtungen, das Kontrollsystem, den Satellitenbau sowie für Start und Betrieb der Satelliten vergeben. Mindestens 40 rozent eines Pakets müssen an Subunternehmer vergeben werden. Mit dieser Form der Auftragsvergabe soll unter anderem erreicht werden, dass Unternehmen aus verschiedenen Mitgliedstaaten zum Zuge kommen. Deutsche Unternehmen rechnen sich unter anderem gute Chancen bei Kontrollzentren und Satellitenbau aus. Gute Chancen auf einen Auftrag für den Satellitenbau hat die EADS-Tochter Astrium, die bereits einen Testsatelliten für das System konstruierte.\nFinanziert wird das aus 30 Satelliten bestehende System aus dem EU-Haushalt. Für Aufbau und Testbetrieb wurden 3,4 Mrd EUR veranschlagt. Galileo soll den Europäern die Unabhängigkeit von dem US-Navigationssystem GPS bringen. Dessen zivile Nutzung kann theoretisch jederzeit vom US-Verteidigungsministerium eingeschränkt werden. Zudem soll Galileo genauere Positionsbestimmungen im Straßen-, See-, Luft- und Schienenverkehr ermöglichen. Am Sonntag wird im kasachischen Baikonur der zweite Galileo-Testsatellit Giove-B ins All gebracht.\nVoll funktionsfähig wird Galileo aber frühestens in fünf Jahren sein. Ursprünglich sollte das Satelliten-Navigationssystem schon dieses Jahr in Betrieb gehen, nach langen Querelen zwischen den beteiligten Unternehmen und der Politik wird nun Mitte 2013 als Startdatum angepeilt. An den vier ersten der insgesamt 30 Satelliten für das endgültige System wird bereits gebaut.\nText: FAZ.NET\nBildmaterial: AFP", "url": "http://www.faz.net/s/Rub0E9EEF84AC1E4A389A8DC6C23161FE44/Doc~E3D07D46D57214340A3147AF696523C51~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20110120064825/http://www.faz.net/s/Rub0E9EEF84AC1E4A389A8DC6C23161FE44/Doc~E3D07D46D57214340A3147AF696523C51~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html" } ]

first-half battering by Samoa as they opened their World Cup campaign with an impressive victory in Paris.\nThe Springboks took a 9-0 lead before Samoa scored the first try of the match through Gavin Williams.\nBryan Habana and Percy Montgomery tries gave the Boks a 21-7 half-time lead.\nAnd further tries from Jaque Fourie, Montgomery, Habana - who claimed a second-half hat-trick - and JP Pietersen wrapped up a fine win.\nWith two of the most physical teams on the planet taking the field at the Parc des Princes the match always promised to be a bash-fest and so it proved as they combined to put on a thrilling opening 40 minutes.\nMan for man the Samoans could match their Springbok counterparts for power but in the tight phases of the game, the scrum and the line-out, the Springboks had a clear edge.\n606: DEBATE\nAnd it meant that, once they had weathered a ferocious opening half from the Samoans, the Springboks had control of the game.\nThe fired-up Samoans gave it a lash from the first whistle.\nFormer Leicester number eight Henry Tuilagi produced some ferocious charges, but poor discipline allowed Montgomery to make them pay with three penalties in the opening 15 minutes.\nThe opening 40 minutes was the most physical so far in France\nThe Pacific islanders' inability to secure their own ball at the line-out was costing them dear but when they finally managed some decent possession they opened the scoring with a superb try.\nQuick ball off the top was spun wide to inside centre Jerry Meafou and the timing of his pass sprung Williams through the South Africa midfield.\nThe Connacht centre outpaced the cover to score under the posts and he added the conversion to make it 9-7 to the Boks.\nThe quicker the pace of the game, the more dangerous Samoa looked, but the quickest man on the pitch was South Africa flyer Habana and his first real contribution to the game saw the Boks stretch clear.\nYou could see a lot of nerves from both sides early on the way they finished it off in the second half is a huge positive\nSouth Africa coach Jake White\nWhen he took Fourie's pass as the Boks attacked down the blind-side of a ruck there looked to be little on.\nBut the electric Blue Bulls winger carved infield before breaking free of a tackle and scything through the remaining defence for a superb solo try.\nMontgomery missed the fairly simple conversion but South Africa were soon back on the attack and after a series of attacking scrums Montgomery blasted through the final defender for the Springboks' second try.\nThe veteran full-back added the conversion to make it 21-7 at the break but Samoa came desperately close to cutting the gap when Iosefa Fekori plunged over straight after the restart, only to be pulled back for offside.\nLima is the first player to appear in five World Cups but was injured after producing a dangerous tackle\nSpringboks centre Jean de Villiers was helped off the field with an arm injury and was replaced by Francois Steyn.\nCoach Jake White later suggested the 26-year-old was a major doubt for the match against England on Friday, and possibly the whole tournament.\nIf Samoa's try had been awarded, they might still have been in with a shout but within little more than 10 minutes South Africa had cut loose with a quickfire try treble.\nFourie cut back against the grain to burst through the midfield and open his account for the tournament before Montgomery finished off a sweeping passing move to cross out wide.\nHabana then collected his second spectacular long-range score of the match, beating three men on a dazzling run to the line, and two Montgomery conversions meant South Africa suddenly led 40-7 after an hour's play.\nThe burst of scoring knocked the stuffing out of the Samoans and the pride they would have taken in the sight of 35-year-old Brian Lima coming on as a replacement would soon have evaporated.\nWhen he took the field Lima became the first man to play in five World Cups, but he soon got a high tackle horribly wrong, conceding a penalty in the process, and was helped groggily from the field.\nAs the game went on South Africa were happy not to pick up any injuries, while Habana confirmed his status as the world's most dangerous finisher with two more tries.\nMontgomery converted the first effort and the Springboks will head into Friday's encounter with faltering world champions England brim full of confidence.\n\"You could see a lot of nerves out there from both sides early on but all credit to our boys.\n\"The way they finished it off in the second half is a huge positive for us going forward in the competition.\"\n\"It seemed everything went against us and that try would have lifted us.\n\"We are that type of team, we need to have our tails up and if we had scored then I think it could have been a totally different story.\n\"I'm not saying we would've won but we wouldn't have conceded so many points.\"\nSouth Africa: Montgomery;

Credit: NASA\nThe front edge of the blanket in question apparently pulled away from adjacent heat-shield tiles by the swift flow of air passing over it during the early stages of launch Friday. John Shannon told reporters that engineers studying the protruding triangular 4-inch by 6-inch blanket are concerned about the possible effects of re-entry heating on the graphite epoxy honeycomb structure of the shuttle's left Orbital Maneuvering System pod. Shuttles have safely returned to Earth on several occasions with broken or lost tiles and lost blankets on the OMS pods. But in some cases, the underlying structure was damaged and required repairs. \"We have actually damaged that on several of those flights where you had some heat effects,\" Shannon said. \"When we talked to the engineering guys and the structural team, they were a little bit uncomfortable today. And the reason they were uncomfortable was because if you get down to that honeycomb, that structural area, you're losing some margin, you're not exactly in the flight parameters you expect to go fly.\" He said it was difficult to accurately predict what sort of damage might occur because engineers cannot tell how much underlying insulation might have pulled away with the blanket. \"Because we do not want to damage flight hardware, we sent off a (team of engineers) to work with the EVA, the spacewalk team, to go assess some options. The simplest is we would just tuck that blanket back down and fill that cavity back up. And they're talking about different ways to maybe secure it. \"We did not judge what the right answer was, we're going to let that spacewalk team go off and assess that and they'll come back to me tomorrow and lay out options, pros and cons, and then we'll decide A) if we want to do anything with this blanket and then if we do want to do something, what is the right course of action.\"\nThis graphic shows previous shuttle flights with OMS pod damage. Credit: NASA\nDuring the region of peak heating, the upper surfaces of the OMS pods experience 700 to 1,000 degree Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. During that period, the shuttle is at such high altitudes that very little aerodynamic pressure is present. \"You have the heating of the vehicle in this area that goes up and is significant for 15- to 20-minute period of time but you really don't have any aerodynamic loads on it at that time, it's very, very low dynamic pressure on that blanket area,\" Shannon said. \"So after you get through the high heating area, then you start to pick up aerodynamic loads. \"What does that mean to you? Well, what it means is whatever condition you start re-entry in with that cavity, or that blanket, it's going to pretty much stay in that configuration throughout the high-heating time frame. Then it might change, it might pull up more, whatever, in a time when you don't really care very much.\" Shannon said he was not leaning one way or the other toward ordering a repair, saying \"tomorrow I'll have a better idea of what the different options are.\" But a few minutes later he said, \"I think after seeing the effect on the graphite epoxy honeycomb on some (past flights) I'm leaning may be a little bit toward doing it, but we have to hear what the options are.\" Because engineers don't know exactly what sort of heat damage to expect, \"I would just like to kind of avoid that whole scenario altogether and tuck that blanket back down. And I'm expecting the team to come in and give me some ideas of how to do that and then we'll see where it fits in the timeline. If we can accommodate it, I think that's probably what we'll do.\" The Atlantis astronauts plan spacewalks Monday, Wednesday and Friday to activate and configure a new solar array and to carry out a variety of other tasks. If a repair job is added, it likely would occur during the third spacewalk, after the high-priority work to complete the activation of the new solar arrays.\nAdditional coverage for subscribers:\nVIDEO: SHUTTLE CREW WELCOMED ABOARD STATION PLAY\nVIDEO: ATLANTIS DOCKS WITH THE SPACE STATION PLAY\nVIDEO: WATCH THE RENDEZVOUS BACKFLIP MANUEVER PLAY\nVIDEO: FLIGHT DAY 2 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE PLAY\nVIDEO: SATURDAY'S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING PLAY\nVIDEO: FLIGHT DAY 1 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE PLAY\nVIDEO: INSIDE MISSION CONTROL DURING LAUNCH PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: VIEW FROM COMPLEX 41 PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: PAD PERIMETER PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: THE VAB ROOF PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: THE PRESS SITE PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: UCS-23 TRACKER PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: PAD FRONT CAMERA PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: CAMERA AT THE BEACH PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH OF ATLANTIS!

Capture confirmed,\" a shuttle astronaut radioed as the docking systems engaged. A few minutes later, hooks and latches were activated to firmly pull the two spacecraft together. After leak checks to make sure the interface is airtight, hatches were opened and the station crew welcomed their shuttle colleagues aboard a little past 5 p.m. \"Atlantis. Arriving,\" station flier Sunita Williams said, following naval tradition and ringing the ship's bell in the Destiny laboratory module. The shuttle crew then floated into the station to hugs, smiles and handshakes. Running three months late because of hail damage to the shuttle's external fuel tank, Atlantis brought two welcome additions to the international lab complex: A $367 million set of solar panels and a fresh crew member - Clay Anderson - to replace Williams. Launched to the outpost last December aboard shuttle Discovery, Williams will set a new space endurance record for female astronauts and cosmonauts when she lands aboard Atlantis June 19 after 192 days off planet. \"Great job today, Atlantis, on the rendezvous,\" astronaut Terry Virts radioed from mission control. \"Very nice approach. And welcome to your new home, Clay.\" \"Thanks a lot, Houston,\" Sturckow replied. Lead flight director Cathy Koerner was elated. \"What a great day to be in the space business,\" she told reporters later. \"We had just a picture-perfect rendezvous and docking today and I could not have asked for smoother operations between the flight control team and the crew on orbit. We made this look easy. To put that in perspective for you, on how not easy it really is, we took a quarter-million-pound vehicle today and we connected it with about a half-million-pound (space station) and we did all that at 17,500 mph.\" Today's rendezvous and docking included a now-routine but nonetheless spectacular rotational pitch maneuver, or RPM, a key element in NASA's post-Columbia focus on assessing the health of the orbiter's heat shield before a crew commits to re-entry. Spectacular video beamed down from the space station showed Atlantis performing a graceful pirouette 600 feet directly below the laboratory, a slow-motion back flip against the backdrop of the Brazilian rain forest racing past 220 miles below. There were no obvious signs of anything unusual, but engineers are just beginning their assessment of zoomed-in digital photographs shot by station commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and flight engineer Oleg Kotov. \"Right now, the team is looking at the approach photography that you saw the station crew take,\" said John Shannon, chairman of NASA's mission management team. \"I was just up in the imagery lab and nothing really jumped out at us.\" Engineers plan to work through the night to analyze the photos and determine whether any additional, \"focused\" inspections might be needed. After completing the pitch maneuver, Sturckow piloted Atlantis in a slow loop up to a point about 300 feet directly in front of the station with the shuttle's nose pointing toward deep space and its open payload bay toward a docking port on the front of the Destiny laboratory module. From there, he flew the shuttle straight in for docking. On most flights, rendezvous and docking would be the highlight of a busy day in space. But for Atlantis' crew, docking kicked off an equally busy afternoon of work to pull the 36,000-pound S3/S4 solar array truss segment from the shuttle's cargo bay so it could be handed off to the station's robot arm and safely \"parked\" overnight. The arm-to-arm handoff was completed around 8:30 p.m. The massive segment will be attached to the right side of the station's main power truss on Monday just before the start of a spacewalk by Jim Reilly and Danny Olivas to make critical electrical connections and prepare the new arrays for deployment Tuesday. Once extended, the panels will stretch 240 feet from tip to tip. An identical set of arrays was attached to the left side of the main power truss last September. The new arrays, and the relocation of a third set of solar panels later this year, are required to generate the power needed to support the long-awaited delivery of European and Japanese research modules late this year and early next. Atlantis' crew plans spacewalks Monday, Wednesday and Friday to complete the outfitting and activation of the new S3/S4 solar array segment and to perform a variety of other assembly tasks. They also will assist, if necessary, work to retract the P6-2B solar panel so the arrays can be moved to the left end of the power truss later this year. One wild card in the crew's flight plan is what, if anything, NASA managers might decide to do about a pulled-up insulation blanket on the upper section of Atlantis' left-side Orbital Maneuvering System rocket pod. Engineers have not yet completed their assessment of the blanket or what techniques spacewalking astronauts might employ to address the problem.\nAdditional coverage for subscribers:\nVIDEO: SHUTTLE CREW WELCOMED ABOARD STATION PLAY\nVIDEO: ATLANTIS DOCKS WITH THE SPACE STATION PLAY\nVIDEO: WATCH THE RENDEZVOUS BACKFLIP MANUEVER PLAY\nVIDEO: FLIGHT DAY 2 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE PLAY\nVIDEO: SATURDAY'S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING PLAY\nVIDEO: FLIGHT DAY 1 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE PLAY\nVIDEO: INSIDE MISSION CONTROL DURING LAUNCH PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: VIEW FROM COMPLEX 41 PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: PAD PERIMETER PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: THE VAB ROOF PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: THE PRESS SITE PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: UCS-23 TRACKER PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: PAD FRONT CAMERA PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH REPLAY: CAMERA AT THE BEACH PLAY\nVIDEO: LAUNCH OF ATLANTIS!

[ { "language": "en", "title": "China's former PLA number 2 Xu Caihou dies of cancer amid graft probe", "text": "Disgraced former People’s Liberation Army No 2 Xu Caihou died of bladder cancer on Sunday, Xinhua reported late that night.\nHe was 71.\nXu, a former vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, was facing prosecution for corruption after coming under investigation last year. He was the most senior PLA general to be probed for graft.\nXinhua said military prosecutors had decided to drop the charges against the general, but would continue to process his alleged illicit financial gains in accordance with the law.\nMilitary prosecutors wrapped up their investigation of Xu's graft case in October, accusing him of taking advantage of his position to help others gain promotions. In return, he allegedly accepted huge bribes personally and through his family.\nXu was expelled from the Communist Party in June.\nSince President Xi Jinping extended his anti-graft campaign to the military, 16 senior officers, including Xu, have been detained in the last year for suspected graft.\nAnd early this month, the People's Liberation Army announced that another 14 officers, many of them major generals, had also come under investigation. Among them is Guo Zhenggang, son of Xu's counterpart Guo Boxiong.\nMainland media and military representatives on the sidelines of the just finished annual parliamentary sessions in Beijing named Guo Boxiong in relation to his son's case, prompting speculation over the fate of the father.\nIt is unclear if Xu's death and the end of his prosecution will affect Guo Boxiong.", "url": "http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1738760/former-chinese-general-xu-caihou-dies-cancer", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150318042448/http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1738760/former-chinese-general-xu-caihou-dies-cancer" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Disgraced former top Chinese officer dies of cancer: Xinhua", "text": "General Xu Caihou listens to national anthems during a welcome ceremony at the Pentagon in Washington, in this October 27, 2009 file photo.\nBEIJING One of the most senior Chinese military officers to be accused of corruption has died of cancer, the state news agency Xinhua said on Monday, sparing the government what could have been an embarrassing trial.\nXu Caihou retired as vice chairman of the powerful Central Military Commission in 2013 and from the ruling Communist Party's decision-making Politburo in 2012.\nIn a brief statement released shortly after midnight, Xinhua said that Xu had died in hospital on Sunday of multiple organ failure bought on by bladder cancer after efforts to save him failed.\nHis illness had previously been reported by the government.\nThough he has died, his \"illegal gains\" will still be dealt with in accordance with the law, the report added, without providing further details. China's Defence Ministry carried the same Xinhua report on its website.\nIt was not immediately possible to reach family members for comment.\nPresident Xi Jinping heads the Central Military Commission, which controls the 2.3 million-strong armed forces, the world's largest, and has made weeding out corruption in the military a top goal.\nThe government said in October than Xu had confessed to taking \"massive\" bribes in exchange for help in promotions.\nXu had been under investigation since last March, state media said\nThe party leadership had faced a dilemma over whether to prosecute Xu because of his cancer, sources have said.\nHis death means the ruling Communist Party will not have to risk the embarrassment that could have come from a trial and the details of graft in the highest echelons of power that it might have revealed, though the trial likely would have been held behind closed doors.\nBut China is also investigating a second former top military officer on suspicion of corruption, two independent sources told Reuters recently, as Xi widens his campaign against deep-rooted graft.\nGuo Boxiong, 72, was another vice chairman of the Central Military Commission until he stepped down in 2012. The government has yet to confirm this probe.\nServing and retired military officers have said graft in the armed forces is so pervasive that it could undermine China's ability to wage war.\nChina intensified its crackdown on corruption in the military in the late 1990s, banning the People's Liberation Army from engaging in business. But the military has been involved in commercial dealings in recent years due to a lack of checks and balances, military analysts have said.\n(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Kevin Liffey)", "url": "http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/15/us-china-corruption-idUSKBN0MB0TX20150315", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150720135016/http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/15/us-china-corruption-idUSKBN0MB0TX20150315" } ]
