A pomba socialista da liberdade, simbolo do PSB, tera problemas para por ordem no seu ninho maranhense nos proximos dias. E tudo por conta da disputa eleitoral do ano que vem para a Prefeitura de Sao Luis, com influencias diretas no cenario de 2014.As coisas que ja nao andam em ceu de brigadeiro internamente, com a disputa entre os Tavares e o Grupo do Dep. Ribamar Alves, agora pode se agravar com a possibilidade de filiacao no partido do ex-deputado Roberto Rocha (PSDB), que teria sido convidado pelo maior nome do partido nacionalmente, o governador de Pernambuco, Roberto Campos.A informacao em principio foi recebida com um silencio revelador pelos Tavares, que comandam o PSB hoje no Maranhao, e que veem na filiacao de Roberto Rocha, uma tentativa do grupo Sarney de influenciar nas decisoes politicas e futuras da legenda no Maranhao. As declaracoes do ex-governador Jose Reinaldo, publicadas no Blog do John Cutrim , deixa claro que para ele o ingresso do tucano no PSB, nesse momento e circunstancias nao o agrada e podera trazer desdobramentos ideologicos imprevisiveis e problematicos para o partido no Maranhao.A relacao entre Roberto Rocha e Ze Reinaldo, nao anda bem desde a ultima eleicao para o governo do estado, quando ambos concorreram ao senado e perderam.Nos meios politicos e recorrente a tese de que Roberto Rocha teria entrado na disputa, com objetivo de atrapalhar a candidatura de Ze Reinaldo. O que e negado peremptoriamente por Roberto Rocha. Porem, toda vez que essa tese e lancada em meio a alguma conversa eventual sobre politica, sempre vem a tona a seguinte indagacao: em troca de que, Roberto Rocha faria isso?...Eu particularmente nao sei!... Mas se alguem souber, por favor, socialize essa possivel, preciosa e misteriosa informacao. Uma das condicionantes da mudanca de legenda do ex-deputado Roberto Rocha, seria a viabilizacao de sua candidatura a prefeitura de Sao Luis. O que nao esta nos planos dos Tavares.A Secretaria de Educacao Municipal de Sao Luis foi entregue ao PSB, para ratificar o apoio do partido ao prefeito Joao Castelo, o que foi confirmado pelo proprio presidente Jose Antonio Almeida. Porem, para que esse acordo seja mantido, os Tavares terao que continuar no comando do PSB do Maranhao. A eleicao para o Diretorio Estadual acontecera em outubro, e promete. A oposicao protocolou nesta segunda-feira pedido de convocacao do ministro Edison Lobao (Minas e Energia) para explicar no Congresso o suposto esquema de pagamento de propina na ANP (Agencia Nacional de Petroleo). O PPS protocolou o pedido na Comissao Representativa do Congresso, que atua durante o recesso parlamentar, assim como convite para que o presidente da ANP, Haroldo Lima, explique as acusacoes.Reportagem publicada pela revista "Epoca" revela a existencia de um esquema de cobranca de propinas dentro do orgao. Segundo a revista, a advogada Vanusa Sampaio, que representa companhias do ramo, foi procurada por dois assessores da ANP em 2008.Os dois, Antonio Jose Moreira e Daniel Carvalho de Lima, disseram falar em nome do entao superintendente Edson Silva, ex-deputado federal pelo PC do B, e explicaram que cobravam propina em troca de facilidades
na agencia. O encontro foi gravado. Em nota, a ANP rejeitou as acusacoes, que classificou como "falsidades".Bueno disse que o assunto e "urgente", por isso se justifica a convocacao da comissao do Congresso no recesso para ouvir o ministro e o presidente da ANP. "Estamos falando de uma denuncia sobre cobranca de propina num orgao publico. Vamos fazer o que? Dar mais uma semaninha para o esquema 'se ajeitar'?", questionou o lider.Durante o recesso parlamentar, o Congresso funciona em esquema de plantao. Uma comissao mista de oito senadores e 17 deputados esta de prontidao ate 1o de agosto, mas eles so sao convocados para tratar de temas emergenciais. Requerimentos deste tipo, porem, nao tem prazo e, portanto, nao recebem tratamento de urgencia.(Informacoes: Folha de SP)
A promotora Litia Cavalcante, da Promotoria de Defesa do Consumidor na capital, recebeu o apoio de torcedores no jogo de ontem domingo (14), no Estadio Nhozinho Santos, pelo campeonato Brasileiro da serie D.O Sampaio venceu pelo placar de 4 x 1, o Independente do Para. O atacante do time maranhense Edgar, foi o destaque da partida ao marcar dois dos quatro gols do Sampaio. As duas equipes voltam a se enfrentarem no proximo dia 27.Apesar da consagracao de Edgar e da vitoria do time que encheu de esperancas a torcida do tubarao, o Dra. Litia Cavalcante foi lembrada com uma enorme faixa que dizia Chega de sujeira! Conte Conosco Dra. Litia.A determinada e competente promotora de justica se transformou no maior pesadelo da diretoria da Federacao Maranhense de Futebol, em particular do presidente Alberto Ferreira.Ela esta apurando uma serie de denuncias de irregularidades que teriam sido praticadas no futebol maranhense. Ate um inquerito policial criminal foi aberto para apurar as denuncias.Alberto Ferreira esta a frente da entidade no Maranhao ha 30 anos. Administrada como propriedade particular, alguma mudanca em sua estrutura administrativa e transparencia nas suas acoes eram consideradas como impossiveis, isto e, ate a promotora Litia comprar essa briga. Mesmo notadamente superior ao Paraguai no jogo de hoje, o Brasil foi eliminado da Copa America nos penaltis de modo inesquecivel e frustrante. E incompreensivel que a elite e os mais bem pagos jogadores brasileiros vao para uma disputa de penaltis e nao conseguem fazer nenhum gol. Dos quatro penaltis perdidos pelo Brasil, tres foram pra fora.Depois de um empate em 0 a 0 em 120 minutos, em que o time brasileiro foi melhor praticamente o tempo todo, falou mais alto o nervosismo brasileiro. Elano, Thiago Silva, Andre Santos e Fred. Todos bateram pessimamente seus penaltis, alias eles poderiam concorrer facilmente ao quadro "bola-mucha", da Rede Globo.Ha 16 anos o Brasil nao perdia uma decisao por penaltis. A ultima havia sido em 1995, na final da Copa America daquele ano, para o Uruguai. Nas edicoes mais recentes, o time havia vencido assim o Uruguai nas semifinais de 2004 e 2007 e a Argentina na final de 2004. A Taca BH, torneio sub-19 que tem uma das sedes em Barao de Cocais, cidade mineira a 93 km de Belo Horizonte, viveu nesta segunda-feira uma tarde de briga com grave proporcao. Ja no fim do jogo entre Vasco e Sport, o clube carioca vencia por 3 a 1 quando o goleiro Gustavo, do Sport, protagonizou uma agressao covarde a Elivelton, do Vasco. Apos levar uma voadora pelas costas, o volante do clube carioca deixou o campo de ambulancia, com suspeita de trauma na coluna cervical. Mais tarde, no Hospital Municipal de Barao de Cocais, ele passou por um exame de raio-x, que descartou fratura. A indefinicao com relacao aos limites geograficos dos municipios da Grande Sao Luis, isto e, Sao Luis, Sao Jose de Ribamar, Paco do Lumiar e Raposa, deve voltar a ser tema de polemica nos proximos dias. As reclamacoes da populacao para com a questao nao e nova, assim como a
sua utilizacao politica para fazerem proselitismo e empurrarem com a barriga a necessaria medida.Ano que vem tem eleicoes municipais novamente, e nada mais apropriado neste momento, que reascender esse debate e torcer para uma definicao concreta sobre os limites dos municipios de Sao Luis, e ainda, a volta tambem do velho e inerte debate sobre a Metropolizacao da Grande Sao Luis. Essa questao foi alvo no mes de junho de uma Acao Civil Publica Declaratoria e Condenatoria interposta, pelo Ministerio Publico do Maranhao, contra o Estado e os municipios de Sao Luis, Sao Jose de Ribamar, Paco do Lumiar e Raposa. O objetivo da Acao Civil e fazer com que sejam declarados os limites geograficos entre municipios reus na ilha. A principal vantagem da medida e a prevencao de problemas futuros. A Acao e assinada pelos pelos promotores de Justica Carlos Henrique Brasil Teles de Menezes, da 2a Promotoria de Justica de Sao Jose de Ribamar, e Fernando Barreto, da Promotoria Especializada do Meio Ambiente de Sao Luis.

The first stop on my around the world adventure. A friend picked me up straight off a non-stop flight from San Francisco and we headed on the A303 through the English countryside to this prehistoric monument. Its staggering to think that I was standing in front of something thats been there for 5000 years. Checking this off my long bucket list felt good, especially since I knew that for the next few months, Id be traveling around the globe and checking many more things off this little list. I look back and envy the person I was on that
day, standing there at one of the ancient wonders of the world (not officially) with all the exciting possibilities of adventures yet to be had and stories yet to unfold and fill itself with details. I certainly hope the adventures arent over, but for now, the list is definitely not getting checked off nearly as fast. But then again, whats the rush if time is nothing? Bath, England. On the first night on my travels, I would get 3 hours of sleep on the floor of a friends friends quaint little apartment in the lovely spa town of Bath. When you combine the Englishs love for a drink and your host losing her keys on the same night, you may well end up wandering like a zombie at 3 am down unknown streets in hopes of finding your way back and hoping that her roommate is at home and not dead asleep. At one point, with just 20 and no passport or identification on me, I was ready to jump over a wall and just pass out under a tree. Lucky for me, I didnt and avoided the explaining Id have to do the next morning when the all-girls school security guard would find me passed out under said tree. Side note: the city is beautiful. Even with 3 hours of sleep, I still woke up at 7 am to go for a run with a friend through the city. London, England. My carriage to the airport awaits. London was unfortunately too short of a visit and an incomplete one. I missed both high tea and Sunday roast. That enough warrants a return visit, old and new English friends withstanding. Paris, France. After London, my next country destination was Paris, a city I have put off visiting the last couple of times I was across the pond in hopes that I would have more than a couple of days to visit this European metropolis. From Charles de Gaulle Airport, I took the TGV to la Gare du Nord to practice my French accent and walk with a baguette under my arm. Paris, France. Outside the Louvre, I found a nice place to sit down and have my so-called Parisian picnic lunch you usually pick from the local markets consisting of a baguette, some cheeese and wine. The difference was I couldnt stop at just the cheese and wine, and added some cheap caviar, a couple of fromages, sliced meats (you have to have sliced meats), some jarred asparagus, pate and a pepper grinder that I somehow managed to carry for the rest of my travels. Paris, France. The Louvre is the most visited art museum in the world, the home to the Mona Lisa, and the resting place of Mary Magdalena directly underneath where Tom Hanks kneels down and gets that light-bulb moment at the end of Da Vinci Code. But whats more important is that theres a food court just next door. Paris, France. Entrance to the Louvre, beneath the glass pyramid. I remember really needing to pee when I was
here. Paris, France. It is hard to stand on a bridge overlooking the River Seine at dusk with the Eiffel Tower just in the distance and argue that Paris is not one of the most romantic places on Earth. It is also one of those cities that invite you to walk everywhere even when you know the maps make different locations appear deceptively closer than they really are. I dont think I logged more miles walking in any one city during my entire time backpacking. Paris, France. This was my first unobstructed view of La Tour Eiffel. A week into my journey and still benefitting from waking up early due to cross-Atlantic jetlag, I got out of bed at 6 am and took the Metro to the Trocadero to see the tower without the masses. Aside from the few street vendors setting up shop before the rush of tourists, I had the place to myself along with a clear view of the tallest structure in Paris light by the soft morning light. I stuck around for a bit as people started to gather breaking that beautiful tranquility. Lagos, Portugal. Lagos by day was all about kayaking, swimming, tanning, caves, coves, and relaxing on the beach. Lagos by night was all about the bars. And that bar was Shakers with George the bartender, who may or may not make you a shot called the flatliner that is 1 part Jaegermeister, 1 part Absinthe, and 1 part Tabasco. Good stuff. Lagos, Portugal. Sometimes those pictures of paradise you see in travel brochures and guidebooks dont show that just outside framing of the pristine turquoise waters and endless white sandy beaches are the fist-sized mosquitoes, a lack of potable water, and swampy path to get to that little slice of heaven. Lagos, Portugal was NOT one of those places and in fact should be too good to be true. But it isnt. In the southern Algarve region of Portugal, you have a quaint little town, with a thriving nightlife, a simple restaurant that served some of the most literally finger licking good food on all my travels, and one of the most beautiful stretch of cliff, coves and beach in all the world (up to that point in my travels at least, and I have been to Australias eastern coast). In the mornings, you start at the local croissanteria (that is a word) and then rent a kayak and paddle around the grottos and caves scouting out the perfect cove (this part comes later). Now its time to dry off for a fresh seafood lunch and beer, followed by a walk along the top of the cliffs until you find that perfect cove (from earlier) to hike down to for a afternoon nap and tan on the sandy beaches below. At around 6 pm, you head to the best restaurant in Lagos to simultaneously play with your palate AND fill up in preparation for a big night out one at one of the many bars around town with the friends youve made at one of
the most chill hostels in all of Europe. I resist from using names to avoid sending too much traffic to these establishments and changing this experience into a massive tourist attraction. The next day, you lather, rinse and repeat. Granada, Spain. The friend we hitched a ride with from Lagos to Granada, also turned out to be a pretty cool unofficial guide during our stay. From the best tapas spot to the best view of the Alhambra and his favorite hangouts spot like the stairs near the Albaicin. The wall art there was awesome, but the smell of stranger piss may be a slight deterrent as far as calling it a favorite hangout spot. Granada, Spain. The Alhambra in Granada was the last stronghold of the Moors in Spain. It is an incredible piece of Moroccan architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. My Australian yoga-instructor-radio-broadcaster-cocktail-singer friend and I met an awesome brother and sister pair in Lagos at our hostel and hitched a ride with them the next morning straight to Granada. Since I was headed to Morocco, where I would see the influence and design of the Moors everywhere, the Alhambra, somehow seemed less impressive. What Morocco didnt have on Spain, and particularly Granada is the free tapas that you get with every drink. Thats right. As long as you keep drinking all day, you will never go hungry. Malaga, Spain. A coastal city south of Granada. This was one of two stops en route to the ferry that would take me from Spain to Morocco. Like Granada, the proximity of the city to Morocco meant it was once occupied by the Moors. What remains is the old Alcazaba, a fortress built in the 11th century. It reminded me of some of the levels from the original 8-bit Prince of Persia games. So much so that I wanted to swing from one metal bar to the next and jump off of old crumbling ledges. Tarifa, Spain. A place between places. At the southern tip of Andalusia is the port town of Tarifa. There, it sits across from Morocco, steadfast in extending a hello to Africa from Europe. For centuries, this Spanish bastion has endured the winds blowing through the Straits of Gilbraltar, the same winds that also makes this place the wind-surfing capital of Europe. I could easily see why sitting on the beach watching the ominous clouds move aggressively across the skies overshadowing even the mighty waves sweeping into shore. Chefchaouen, Morocco. In Spain, I met a French-Canadian and convinced him to travel to Morocco with me. Having secured a French speaker, I felt a lot more comfortable taking the ferry from Spain to tip of the African continent. We stayed in Tangier long enough to buy a bus ticket and get onto said bus out of Tangier. Our first destination was the town of Chefchaouen, an old fortress city painted mostly in shades of blue. It was surreal. Even though we arrived in the city with no map and only the name of a recommended hostel, 4 hours
after we left the European continent, we had made our way through our first winding Moroccan medina, found a place to sleep and sat on a rooftop enjoying our first tajine and glass of silly sweet mint tea. Yes, that was pretty surreal as well. Fes, Morocco. Getting lost in Fes is fun, but eventually you need to find your way home. This is where finding a gate comes in handy. My friend and I found the famous Blue Gate just before dusk and opted to follow the path outside the medina wall back to a familiar point to get back to our riad instead of attempting the souk route. Smart decision. We made it back in time for our private hammam session. Fes, Morocco. The guidebook section on Fes warns visitors about getting lost in the citys labyrinthine medina. Paths wind into nooks and crannies, smiling children find it funny to lead you the wrong way, and everyone is trying to sell you a carpet. Most maps are also useless. When you inevitably end up lost, the simple solution is to let it happen. And enjoy losing yourself in the smells of the spice market, the sounds of metal craftsmans and the sights of everything from Coca-Cola transporting donkeys to a freshly killed goat hanging proudly in front of the butchers stall. Then, the next day you go and yourself a local guide named Mohammed (everyone is named Mohammed), who will efficiently take you to sites like the Al-Karaouine Mosque (considered the oldest university in the world) and the Attarin Madrasa seen here. The latter allows for non-Muslim visitors to enter through a large set of bronze doors. Marrakech, Morocco The souk in Fez may be the most confusing, but the one in Marrakech is the largest in Morocco. And quite busy at all times. That is until the Jamma El-Fna Square opens at dusk. Marrakech, Morocco The famous Jemma El-Fna square comes to life just before dusk as food stalls spring up and the aroma of simmering stews, roasted meats and exotic spices lure the masses and one by one disarms any will power to resist taking a seat. Locals, tourists and even people on bicycles weave about chaotically but in perfect harmony like a dance of life, dust and activities beneath the haze of smoke billowing from the fires and stoves and through the hanging light bulbs. Those not entranced by the food gather around acrobats, snake charmers, storytellers, and musicians who captivate and spellbound just as well. Beautiful turmoil. I go back to the smell because it dominated all other senses, even silencing the unyielding calls from the food stalls to sit at their table and the clatter of pots and pans being moved, filled and scooped from. I gave in quite easily. Marrakech, Morocco This is one of many food stalls that I was a patron of every night in Marrakechs Jamma El-Fna square. Everything smells good, and I will most likely eat anything, anytime, anywhere, so this place was this a gastronomic paradise for me. They
