''So that's one of the areas we need to change, our distribution networks here in the United States,'' he said.After the meeting and media availability, Obama escorted Silva to his waiting limousine just outside the Oval Office. ''I'll see you in London,'' Obama said.Silva was the first Latin American leader to sit down with Obama.Obama also privately raised the custody case of David Goldman, a Tinton Falls, N.J., man who is trying to bring his 8-year-old son back from Brazil. The boy was taken there in 2004 by his mother, who died years later while giving birth. She had divorced Goldman and married a lawyer from Rio de Janeiro. Both children are being raised by the lawyer's family.This past week, the House unanimously urged Brazil to ''act with extreme urgency'' to return the boy to Goldman. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she has discussed the case with high-ranking Brazilian officials.More than 100 people on Saturday afternoon stood in drizzling rain in front of the White House to rally for Goldman's case, many holding signs and chanting loudly about bringing the child back to America. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who has rallied to help reunite the father and son, read an open letter to Silva at the event, telling the crowd ''justice delayed is justice denied ... the time for action is now.''On a lighter note, Obama said that when he does visit Brazil, he thinks he should see the nice beaches of Rio de Janeiro and make a trip to the Amazon, joking that Republicans would like to see him get lost there for a while..VOCABULARY:.Looked forward: Past of look forward phrasal verb to feel pleased and excited about something that is going to happenForward-looking: adjective - Someone who is forward-looking always plans for the future.Leadership: Noun (U) - the position or fact of being the leaderIn a lighter moment: expression - in a less tense momentRallies: Noun (C) - a public meeting of a large group of people, especially supporters of a particular opinionTrading partner: Closely involved in buying and selling, or exchanging, goods and/or services between people or countriesHuge: Adjective Very bigOffshore: adjective, adverb - away from or at a distance from the coastWean: phrasal verb (wean somebody off something) - to make someone gradually stop using something that is bad for themCrude: Noun (U) - oil in a natural state that has not yet been treatedPath: Noun (C) - a route or track between one place and another, or the direction in which something is movingAcknowledged: Verb (T) to accept, admit or recognize something, or the truth or existence of somethingOvernight: adjective, adverb - suddenly and unexpectedlyJump on the bandwagon: expression - to become involved in an activity which is successful so that you can get the advantages of it yourselfNetworks: Noun (C) - a large system consisting of many similar parts that are connected together to allow movement or communication between or along the parts or between the

.Mauricio Lima / Agence France - Presse - Getty ImagesSilva Izquierdo/Associated PressPresident Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, right and Workers Party presidential candidate Dilma Rousseff greeted by supporters during a campaign rally.By Alexei BarrionuevoPublished October 2nd, 2010 - The New York Times - Sunday (online) issue.Sao Paulo, Brazil - Though Dilma Rousseff is a political novice and lacks the charisma of her former boss, President Luiz Inacio da Silva, voters appear likely to make her the first woman to be president of Brazil in Sunday's election..Opinion surveys her leading by a wide margin and suggest that she could get more than 50 percent plus one vote of the valid vote, enough to squeak by and avoid a runoff.Ms. Rousseff, 62, was able to ride Mr. da Silva's popularity and make the election essentially a referendum on his eight years in the office, a period of widespread prosperity that cemented the country as a rising global player."This turned out to be a predictable plebiscite, a thumbs-up for the Lula years," said Timothy J. Power, director of the Latin American Center at the University of Oxford.Mr. Silva spent the better part of a year trying to introduce his chosen successor to Brazilians. She was initially unknown to the masses and not very dynamic in public. Mr. Silva joined himself to her hip, crisscrossing the country to campaign on her behalf.He trumpeted his government's accomplishments and passed some the credit to Ms. Rousseff, who also formerly served as his minister of energy and mines and as a chairwoman of Petrobras, the Brazilian Oil Company.Last year there was some concern that he would stick with Ms. Rousseff as the Worker's Party Candidate after she was given a diagnosis of lymphatic cancer. After chemoterapy treatment, which led her to wear a wig for several weeks, doctors said her cancer had been driven into remission.Still, not even a scandal involving Ms. Rousseff's successor as chief of staff has been able to diminish her lead much in the polls.Two weeks ago, media reports here accused Erenice Guerra, who took over for Ms. Rousseff in April so she could campaign, of participating in an influence-peddling scheme with her son, involving kickbacks for public work contracts. Mr. da Silva swiftly asked for Ms. Guerra's resignation and managed to contain the scandal. Ms. Rousseff was never linked to directly to any wrongdoing.Ms. Rousseff appeared to have taken a slight dip in the polls at that time, but she has recovered. In the latest poll, conducted Sept. 28 and 29 by Datafolha, a Brazilian polling company, Ms. Rousseff was backed by 52 percent of voters, among her rivals, Jose Serra the former Governor of Sao Paulo, had 31 percent and Marina Silva, Mr. da Silva's popular former environment minister, had 15 percent. But with a marging of sampling error of plus or minus two percentage points, it is impossible for the poll to suggest that a runoff would be necessary.Polling data showed that the scandal only seemed to resonate with upper-income voters, while her support from the poor, which benefited greatly under Mr.

Until now, that is..The hero who crossed the Delaware River may not have been quite so squeaky clean when it came to borrowing library books..The New York Society Library, the city's only lender of books at the time of Washington's Presidency, has revealed that the First American President took out two volumes and pointedly failed to return them..At today's prices, adjusted for inflation, he would face a late fine of $ 300,000..The library's leadgers show that Washington took out the books on October 5th, 1789, some five months into his presidency at a time when New York was still the Capital. They were an essay on international affairs called Law of Nations and the twelfth volume of a 14-volume collection of debates from the English House of Commons..The ledger simply referred to the borrower as "President" in quill pen, and had no return date..Sure enough, when the librarians checked their holdings they found all 14 volumes of the Commons debates bar volume 12..Under the rules of the library, the books should have been handed back by November 2nd, that same year, and their borrower and presumably his descendants have been liable to fines of a few cents a day ever since..Other prominent borrowers who used the collection did not appear to have the same problems with returning titles. .The first treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton, the first chief justice, John Jay, and Thomas Jefferson's vice-president, Aaron Burr, are all listed on the Ledger under both borrowing and return dates."We're not actively pursuing the overdue fines," the head librarian Mark Bartlett said.

Prezados Leitores, Ontem (horario +ou- 12:00hs) um hacker acessou meu computador e conseguiu todas as minhas senhas: e-mail, bancario, sites que visito, etc... Ele primeiramente alterou todas as senhas para que eu nao conseguisse impedi-lo de "baguncar a minha vida" comecou pelo meu banco (Itau), como e necessario digitar numero da agencia, conta e uma senha diferente para a Internet, ele so conseguiu travar o acesso geral ao banco. Ontem mesmo estive na agencia e ja troquei as senhas (acesso pela Internet e acesso do cartao).Ele tambem acessou todos os e-mails que eu tinha cadastrado em minha conta do Yahoo e enviou um e-mail a todos os enderecos cadastrados (nao cheguei a ler ainda este e-mail - so tomei conhecimento porque comecaram a me telefonar...) este e-mail segundo me disseram diz que eu estou na Espanha e parece que estou com algum problema e pede para que enviem dinheiro (gostaria de saber para onde - assim talvez seja possivel tomar algum outro tipo de providencias). Enfim meu e-mail do Yahoo esta praticamente perdido nao consegui uma resposta da Yahoo, escreveram-me com um link para abrir uma nova conta (ou seja perdi todos os meus contatos de anos....) minha conta no LinkedIn aparentemente esta perdida tambem pois eles nem me responderam.... caso tenham recebido o referido e-mail por favor desconsiderem, estou bem e peco desculpas por qualquer transtorno que isto possa ter causado. Peco ainda que qualquer comunicacao seja feita para este novo e-mail:macosentino@uol.com.brObrigado pela compreensao,Marco Antonio CosentinoDear Readers,Yesterday (around 12:00 A.M.) a hacker got into my computer and retrieved all my passwords: e-mail, bank account, sites, etc... He/she changed all my passwords so I would couldnt even try to prevent from messing my life completely. He/she started
with my bank (Itau), to make a long story short he only blocked completely the access to the bank (thats have been taken care already).He/she also accessed all my e-mails and sent a message (although I havent read yet) saying that I was in Spain and need money.Anyway, my Yahoo e-mail is practically lost since the only answer that I got from Yahoo directs me to another link that asks me to create an ID (new address) my LinkedIn account seems to be lost too they havent even answer my e-mails... In case you have received the infamous e-mail asking for money, please disregard Im in Brazil and fine (healthy wise) , so please forgive me for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.Please any communication send to:macosentino@uol.com.br

quarto em materia de seguranca da America do Sul, superado apenas por Uruguai, Chile e Argentina. La eles nao exploram o povo na hora dos lazeres nem, tampouco, restringem o futebol as classes mais abastadas.De acordo com o anuncio do jogo, o ingresso de geral para o Barcelona x Palmeiras custa 10 dolares ou 33 reais.O ingresso para uma dependencia denominada tribuna que pelo preco tambem e popular, esta sendo vendido a 15 dolares (repito a moeda equatoriana e o dolar americano) ou 49,50 reais.As arquibancadas valem 20 dolares ou 60 reais e o setor mais privilegiado e sofisticado do estadio, provavelmente os camarotes custam 30 dolares ou 99 reais. Considerando-se os salarios minimos vigentes nos dois paises aproximadamente R$ 1.050,00 no Equador e R$ 937,00 no Brasil, sera que da para ver, notar e sentir a verdadeira dimensao da exploracao que os clubes, Federacoes, CBF e Rede Globo continuam, impunemente, inflingindo ao povo brasileiro.O Barcelona x Palmeiras de amanha ilustra bem o que estamos afirmando, pois sera exibido exclusivamente pela Fox em TV fechada.Os canais Fox nao estao disponiveis nos pacotes comuns da Net que quer sempre mais dinheiro para liberar a visualizacao desses canais e em razao disso a maior parte da populacao nao os tem.Eu, por exemplo, tenho o pacote "Premiere" mas sou sempre salvo pela telegato, isto e, pela recepcao por satelite, sinal publico pelo qual nao somos obrigados a pagar ja que o pagamos ha anos sob a forma de impostos em um pais que tem uma das mais altas cargas tributarias do planeta.Com tudo e apesar de tudo os politicos e os governos estao sempre procurando "reforma-las", claro que sempre com o verdadeiro intuito de espoliar cada vez mais o povo brasileiro.Uma lei anti monopolio que proiba a exibicao de jogos de futebol na TV por apenas uma emissora ou rede (existe mas nao e cumprida), deveria ser reinventada, reescrita e cobrada das TVs...Exemplifico: os jogos exibidos em "pay-per-view" (pelos quais somos obrigados a pagar alem do que ja pagamos a Net ou as operadoras similares), so poderiam ser cobrados como extra se o canal que transmitisse nao exibisse propaganda comercial.Alem de pagarmos a Net, de pagarmos o "pay-per-view" ainda somos obrigados a ouvir as propagandas das empresas que patrocinam as transmissoes. Isso nao e justo, leal ou legal!Moral da Historia: O cidadao comum, isto e, o povo, esta sendo compulsoriamente afastado, cada dia mais, do esporte que ele ajudou a implantar e que ele proprio consagrou no Brasil, o futebol.E a midia o que diz? Absolutamente nada! COMENTE COMENTE COMENTE
