El recibió ayer al presidente de en una audiencia privada. La reunión se concretó en el y duró 45 minutos, tratándose de uno de los encuentros privados más largos que hasta ahora ha mantenido Francisco con un mandatario.
"Le transmití algunas preocupaciones, algunas conocidas, como lo que está pasando en Colombia, que yo le doy una importancia de carácter trascendente. Y cuando digo lo que está pasando en , es el proceso de negociación que se está llevando a cabo", indicó Mujica, que además informó que le pidió por otra iniciativa de paz, sin precisar de dónde provino.
El presidente uruguayo agregó que su visita al papa también fue en atención a la presencia de la religión en la región. "Tomamos la decisión de venir a hablar fundamentalmente por nuestra manera de pensar y lo importante para América Latina que es la tradición cristiana", señaló.
Durante el encuentro, Mujica reconoció la labor de los distintos sacerdotes en América Latina y sostuvo que "dieron su vida por la igualdad y libertad". Tras el encuentro, Francisco dijo estar "muy contento por haberse reunido con un hombre sabio", según informó el portavoz de la Santa Sede, Federico Lombardi.
Consultado sobre si le había pedido algo en particular para Uruguay, Mujica respondió que él pasa el sombrero por todas partes y sobre el tema de la pobreza indicó que cuando se llega a las franjas más duras de esta ya no hay un problema meramente económico sino que hay que hacer algo más.
"Hay que ponerle calor militante, de compromiso. Yo le pido a esta Iglesia, y a todas, que traten de echar una mano militante, no solo en cuestión de recursos económicos. Hay que poner otros tipos de recursos", explicó el presidente. Y concluyó: "Francisco es un papa singular para los que somos del . Es como hablar con un amigo del barrio.

Por su parte, Francisco le entregó una copia del documento con las conclusiones de la Asamblea de Obispos Latinoamericanos de Aparecida ().
El papa le obsequió además un cuadro con los primeros planos de la , a lo que el mandatario respondió entre risas: "Es un problema, ahí hay un periodista que conoce mi casa y sabe que mucho lugar no tengo". |
en | Rescue mission continues: progress is being made to reach the miners safely (ABC)
Authorities hope to see the best progress yet in the rescue mission to free two miners trapped at Beaconsfield in northern Tasmania.
The drilling of a tunnel through 12 metres of rock to free Brant Webb and Todd Russell finally started at 7:00pm AEST yesterday.
If everything has gone to plan, the raise borer has now been cutting a one metre wide tunnel towards Mr Webb and Mr Russell for more than 11 hours.
It can grind through rock at a rate of one metre per hour, but is not running at full speed because of concerns it may trigger more dangerous vibrations.
The five tonne machine is manned by two men at a time and has its own seismic warning system.
Mine manager Matthew Gill hopes the operation can continue around the clock, but says its blades may need changing at least once because of wear and tear from the abrasive rock.
Rescuers believe it is the first time this type of machine has been used for such a mission, making it difficult to accurately predict how long the drilling will take.
If all is well underground, it is predicted to take another 36 hours to reach the miners safely.
Mine management is yet to report on overnight progress, but the start of drilling after almost three days of anxious waiting has already eased the tension and lifted spirits.
There are still dangers through, in a rescue that is expected to last until late Friday at the earliest.
Rescuers are also unsure whether the two men will be physically able to crawl out of the tunnel or need the assistance of paramedics.
The miners are trapped almost a kilometre underground in a small steel cage. | en | Rescuers are continuing their efforts to reach the trapped miners in the Beaconsfield mine in northern Tasmania.
A five tonne borer drilling machine has been secured in place to drill a one metre hole through the remaining 12-16 metres of rock that fell into the main shaft.
Since drilling began at 7pm last night, the machine has made a 2 cm wide pilot hole half way to the miners.
The trapped miners have been given egg sandwiches and yogurt, and have received apple ipod MP3 players filled with the miners favourite songs to pass the time and drown out the sounds of the drilling.
Meanwhile on the surface, the ever-growing media frenzy in Beaconsfield has forced the mine operators to enforce bag checks of rescuers entering the mine to ensure that no recording devices are taken into the mine. |
en | Forever our blue and yellow flag will fly, the president told crowds
Mr Yushchenko then addressed hundreds of thousands of supporters in Kiev's Independence Square.
The president, who has pledged to move closer to the West, told the crowd: "Our way to the future is the way of a united Europe."
Mr Yushchenko beat Moscow-backed Viktor Yanukovych in a re-run of November's disputed poll.
The 26 December repeat run-off was held after the Supreme Court ruled that the original vote - officially won by Mr Yanukovych - had been rigged.
The people achieved honest elections, the transfer of power was legitimate. It is a great national victory
Viktor Yushchenko,
address to parliament
Independent election observers said the re-run had been much fairer than earlier rounds.
At Sunday's inauguration ceremony, Mr Yushchenko stood hand on heart as the national anthem was played.
In taking the presidential oath of office, he said he would defend the unity of Ukraine.
'Orange Kiev'
The swearing-in was watched by eight heads of state, along with US Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Hundreds of thousands gather in Independence Square on Sunday
After meeting Mr Yushchenko, Mr Powell said: "I want to assure you that you will continue to enjoy the full support of the American government and the American people."
Russia, which had backed Mr Yanukovych, was represented only by the head of the upper house of its parliament, Sergei Mironov.
The date for the inauguration was set only this week after the Supreme Court dismissed a final appeal by Mr Yanukovych against the result.
The gathering in Independence Square allowed Mr Yushchenko to thank those who took part in what has been called the Orange Revolution - after the colour of Mr Yushchenko's camp.
The president told the massive crowd: "This is a victory of freedom over tyranny. The victory of law over lawlessness."
He added: "We are not on the outskirts of Europe, we are at the centre of Europe... Forever our blue and yellow flag will fly."
Symbolic oath
The bitterly fought election exposed deep splits between south-eastern regions, where support is high for Mr Yanukovych, and western and central Ukraine which largely backs Mr Yushchenko.
Viktor Yanukovych kept challenging the election result
On the eve of his inauguration, Mr Yushchenko urged Ukrainians to overcome divisions.
He was speaking at a ceremony on Saturday marking Ukraine's Unity Day.
Mr Yushchenko also took the symbolic oath of hetman, or leader of Cossacks - the historic defenders of Ukraine against foreign oppression.
"I am convinced that... our forefathers were also dreaming of seeing a democratic Ukraine with free people," Mr Yushchenko said in front of a crowd of some 200 Cossacks.
The day after Sunday's inauguration, Mr Yushchenko is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in what will be his first foreign visit.
Later in the week, Mr Yushchenko will also embark on a series of visits to Europe. | en | The new Ukranian president Viktor Yushchenko was today sworn into office in 's Independence Square, drawing a line under a bitter dispute between him and opposition candidate .

A group of House Democrats is mounting a renewed push to strip J. Edgar Hoover's name off the FBI headquarters in the wake of a powerful new film that highlights one of the bureau's worst abuses under his leadership: a secret, decades-long program known as COINTELPRO that was aimed at discrediting civil rights activists, and which ultimately led to the 1969 killing by law enforcement of Chicago Black Panther leader Fred Hampton. “You take a poll and I would bet 90 percent of the society has no clue what COINTELPRO was,” said Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, who, along with 22 co-sponsors, has reintroduced a bill to remove the longtime FBI director's name from the bureau's headquarters building in Washington, D.C. “This is an ugly part of our past that is not well known.” | en | The new Ukranian president Viktor Yushchenko was today sworn into office in 's Independence Square, drawing a line under a bitter dispute between him and opposition candidate .

de | Die Kooperation von Puma und DBA liefert ein schönes Beispiel dafür, wie Unternehmen in diesen Tagen das bevorstehende Fußballgroßereignis für ihre Werbung nutzen, obwohl sie kein offizieller Sponsor sind und auch keine Lizenz haben. Das ist nicht einfach, denn der Weltfußballverband Fifa hat der Reklame im Umfeld des Großereignisses enge Grenzen gesetzt.
PUMA AG Intraday 3 Monate 1 Jahr Weitere Kursdaten: ADIDAS-SALOMON AG O.N. LUFTHANSA AG VNA O.N. „Das Reglement ist so ausgelegt, dass es wenig Möglichkeiten gibt. Dennoch haben wir einen innovativen Weg gefunden“, sagt Zeitz. Puma stand vor einem Dilemma, das viele Firmen in diesen Tagen haben: Einerseits ist die WM ausgesprochen wichtig für den Konzern, weil Fußballschuhe und Trikots eine der größten Umsatzbringer des Unternehmens sind. Deshalb kann der drittgrößte Sportkonzern der Welt die Weltmeisterschaft im eigenen Land nicht einfach ignorieren. Andererseits müssen die Franken aber aufpassen, denn ihr Rivale Adidas ist offizieller Ausrüster der WM und zahlt für die Exklusivität viel Geld: Bis zu 50 Mill. Euro haben die Hauptsponsoren bezahlt, um mit dem Spektakel offiziell werben zu dürfen.
Sandra-Sophia Bormann, Markenrechtsspezialistin der Kanzlei Nörr Stiefenhofer Lutz, rät Unternehmen, vorsichtig zu sein, wenn sie im Umfeld der Fußballweltmeisterschaft werben wollen, aber keine Sponsorlizenz haben. „Der WM-Pokal, das Logo mit den lachenden Gesichtern oder das Maskottchen sind geschützt,“ sagt Bormann. Die Fifa geht in Deutschland mit Abmahnungen und einstweiligen Verfügungen gegen Verstöße vor, es ist schwierig, als werbetreibende Unternehmen den Weltverband zu umdribbeln. „Gerade kleinere Firmen können sich einen Rechtsstreit mit der Fifa kaum leisten.“
Die Fifa hat sich für den deutschen Markt auch zahlreiche Begriffe schützen lassen. So streitet der Süßwarenhersteller Ferrero seit geraumer Zeit mit den Fifa-Anwälten, ob Allerweltsnamen wie „Weltmeisterschaft 2006“ tatsächlich unter Markenschutz gestellt werden können. Das deutsche Patent- und Markenamt gab Ferrero zum Teil Recht, das europäische Harmonisierungsamt in Alicante stärkte jedoch die Fifa-Position. Jetzt will sich der Bundesgerichtshof Ende April dieser Sache annehmen. Sicher ist nur: Bis zum Anstoß der Fußball-WM wird es keine abschließende Gerichtsentscheidung geben.

fr | La réouverture au public du musée du Bardo à Tunis, prévue mardi, est reportée sine die pour "des raisons de sécurité", a indiqué la chargée de communication du musée, Hanene Srarfi. L'établissement devait rouvrir ses portes moins d'une semaine après l'attentat revendiqué par le groupe État islamique qui a coûté la vie à 21 personnes, dont 20 touristes, et leur poste à deux chefs de la police, limogés lundi. "Nous avons été surpris à la dernière minute, mais, pour des raisons de sécurité, on ne peut pas recevoir un grand nombre de visiteurs, selon le ministère de l'Intérieur", a déclaré Mme Srarfi, confirmant, en revanche, la tenue d'une "cérémonie officielle" dans l'après-midi au musée.
Alors que l'ouverture était encore programmée mardi, le conservateur du musée, Moncef Ben Moussa, avait évoqué un acte "symbolique" : "C'est un défi, mais aussi un message [...]. Nous voulons dire qu'ils [les assaillants] n'ont pas atteint leur objectif." Des internautes avaient également lancé un appel à manifester devant le musée à cette occasion, en plein coeur de la capitale.
Deux chefs de la police limogés
Lundi, deux chefs de la police à Tunis avaient été limogés pour des "lacunes" dans la protection du quartier du musée. Le chef du gouvernement, Habib Essid, avait effectué dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi "une visite et avait constaté plusieurs lacunes. Il avait décidé de limoger un certain nombre de responsables, dont les chefs de la police de Tunis et du Bardo", avait indiqué lundi Mofdi Mssedi, le chargé de la communication du Premier ministre. M. Essid avait immédiatement nommé leurs successeurs.
En outre, le parquet avait indiqué qu'un "mandat de dépôt" avait été lancé contre un policier "chargé de la sécurité du musée", refusant de dévoiler les raisons de son arrestation. Ministre de l'Intérieur en 2011 après la révolution, M. Essid avait déjà admis que l'attaque, qui a coûté le 18 mars la vie à 20 touristes étrangers et un policier tunisien, avait révélé des défaillances sécuritaires graves. "Nous sommes en train d'évaluer la situation et de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour que ce ministère de l'Intérieur fasse son travail", avait-il déclaré dans un entretien publié lundi par le journal français Le Figaro et la radio RFI.
"Aucune nouvelle indication"
Mercredi, deux tireurs armés de kalachnikovs ont attaqué le site, qui ne semblait pas bénéficier d'une protection particulière, bien qu'il soit situé dans la même enceinte que le Parlement. Ils ont été tués par les forces de sécurité. Sur l'enquête relative à l'attaque, revendiquée par le groupe djihadiste État islamique (EI), les autorités n'ont donné aucune nouvelle indication, au lendemain de l'évocation par le chef de l'État, Béji Caïd Essebsi, de la piste d'un troisième suspect.
À l'occasion de l'ouverture du Forum social mondial (FSM), grande messe altermondialiste à laquelle participeront des milliers d'étrangers jusqu'à samedi à Tunis, un défilé est par ailleurs prévu jusqu'au Bardo. Ce forum constituera "une réponse de la société civile. [...] Nous devons inventer un monde nouveau et lutter contre ces monstres", a déclaré lundi Gustavo Massiah, membre fondateur du FSM. Les autorités ont "pris les mesures nécessaires" pour garantir la sécurité de cette manifestation, a précisé le coordinateur du comité d'organisation, Aberrahmen Hedhili.
"Problème sérieux"
Dimanche soir, la Tunisie a été une nouvelle fois endeuillée par la mort d'un militaire dans l'explosion d'une mine à la frontière avec l'Algérie, une zone où les forces armées tentent depuis fin 2012 de neutraliser - sans succès pour l'instant - un groupe lié à Al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique (Aqmi), actif dans les massifs montagneux et forestiers de la région. L'attaque du Bardo, qui fait planer une menace sur le tourisme, secteur vital de l'économie, est la première à toucher des étrangers en Tunisie depuis l'attentat contre la synagogue de la Ghriba à Djerba en 2002. C'est aussi le premier revendiqué par l'EI, qui sévit dans d'autres pays arabes.
Le chef du gouvernement tunisien a reconnu que les autorités avaient "négligé" pendant "un certain temps" la menace que représentent les jeunes partant se former aux armes ou combattre en Syrie et en Irak, mais aussi en Libye voisine, comme les deux assaillants du Bardo. "Ils reviennent aguerris et mieux formés et sont capables d'opérations comme celle [du 18 mars]. C'est un problème sérieux", a-t-il remarqué. Quelque 3 000 Tunisiens sont partis en Syrie en proie à la guerre civile et en Irak miné par l'instabilité. Des centaines se trouvent en Libye, pays livré aux milices, dans les rangs de groupe djihadistes comme l'EI, selon lui. Environ 500 seraient revenus en Tunisie. | fr | Façade du Musée du Bardo.
La réouverture au public du , à , a été reportée à samedi pour des « raisons de sécurité » mais une cérémonie officielle symbolique devrait s’y tenir mardi pour rendre hommage aux 21 victimes, moins d’une semaine après l’attaque revendiquée par le groupe jihadiste . La direction du musée avait justifier le report de la réouverture pour des « des raisons de sécurité », une explication démentie ensuite par le gouvernement tunisien qui arguait « des travaux à finir ».
Le ministère de la Culture a précisé des « problèmes de logistique » empêchant l’ouverture du site « à des milliers de gens ». Cependant, une cérémonie officielle allait devrait se tenir dans l’après-midi, avec notamment un concert de l’Orchestre symphonique tunisien en hommage aux 20 touristes étrangers et au policier tunisien tués dans l’attaque du musée. Elle ne sera ouverte qu’à des invités et aux médias.
L’ a gravement menacé le secteur du , secteur vital de l’économie du pays, et les autorités tentent de relever le défi de la sécurité pour empêcher de nouveaux attentats alors que l'État islamique avait menacé de mener d’autres attentats en Tunisie.
Rappelons qu'il s'agit de la pire attaque terroriste en Tunisie depuis 2002. |
fr | RÉPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE
AU NOM DU PEUPLE FRANCAIS
LA COUR DE CASSATION, PREMIÈRE CHAMBRE CIVILE, a rendu l'arrêt suivant :
Sur le moyen unique :
Attendu que le 3 juin 2004 M. X... a adressé sur un forum de discussion accessible par internet un message en réponse à celui d'un usager, ainsi rédigé : "j'irai plus loin qu'Ophélie, il faut vraiment supprimer Raël, cette organisation qui veut à tout prix nous rendre idiots (à 250.000 dollars pièce...)" ; que M. Y..., soutenant que les propos poursuivis étaient constitutifs du délit de provocation publique, non suivie d'effet, à la commission d'un crime, en l'espèce d'une atteinte volontaire à la vie, prévu et réprimé par les dispositions de l'article 24, alinéa 1er-1°, de la loi du 29 juillet 1881, l'a assigné en réparation de son préjudice moral ;
Attendu qu'il est fait grief à l'arrêt (Paris 12 décembre 2007) d'avoir déclaré M. Y... irrecevable en ses demandes alors, selon le moyen :
1°/ qu'en retenant pour dénier tout intérêt à agir de M. Y... que le propos poursuivi ne visait pas Raël mais l'organisation qu'il dirige, la cour d'appel qui a opéré une confusion entre deux membres de phrases distincts, a violé l'article 31 du code de procédure civile, ensemble l'article 24 alinéa 1er § 1 de la loi du 29 juillet 1881 ;
2°/ que la cour d'appel qui a expressément constaté que l'écrit incriminé visait expressément, en incitant à sa suppression, l'organisation dont Raêl était le dirigeant, aurait dû nécessairement en déduire l'intérêt à agir de celui-ci et en décidant le contraire, elle a derechef violé l'article 31 du code de procédure civile, ensemble l'article 24, alinéa 1er § 1 de la loi du 29 juillet 1881 ;
3°/ qu'en déniant à M. Y... le droit de poursuivre les propos provocateurs tenus à l'encontre du mouvement raëlien qu'il a fondé et qu'il dirige, motif pris de ce que ces propos ne le visaient pas personnellement, la cour dappel qui s'est déterminée en considération religieuse de ce mouvement a privé M. Y... de son droit à un procès équitable et violé les articles 6.1 et 9.1 de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme ;
Mais attendu qu' ayant constaté que M. Y... n'était pas visé par les propos litigieux, les juges du fond ont pu en déduire que celui-ci n'avait pas intérêt à agir en réparation d'un préjudice personnel ;
D'où il suit que le moyen n'est pas fondé ;
PAR CES MOTIFS :
REJETTE le pourvoi ;
Condamne M. Y... aux dépens ;
Vu l'article 700 du code de procédure civile, rejette la demande de M. Y... ;
Ainsi fait et jugé par la Cour de cassation, première chambre civile, et prononcé par le premier président en son audience publique du neuf juillet deux mille neuf.
MOYEN ANNEXE au présent arrêt
Moyen produit par la SCP Gadiou et Chevallier, avocat aux Conseils pour M. Y...
Le moyen fait grief à l'arrêt attaqué d'AVOIR déclaré Monsieur Claude Y... irrecevable en ses demandes ;
AUX MOTIFS PROPRES QU'après avoir relevé que le message exact diffusé le 3 juin 2004 à 8 h 21 par Roger X... sur une page Internet Google Groups au sujet des « dommages et intérêts refusés à Raël face à Ophélie Z... Agence France Presse 2 juin 2004 14 h 35, et intitulé « Re : Raêl ridicule » », tel qu'il ressort du constat d'huissier du 10 août 2004, est : « J'irai plus loin qu 'Ophélie : il vaut vraiment supprimer Raël, cette organisation qui veut à tout prix nous rendre idiots (à 250.000 dollàrs pièce...) », le Tribunal a justement retenu qu'il ne pouvait aucunement s'appliquer à la personne du demandeur ; qu'en effet, le propos poursuivi, tronqué par l'auteur de l'assignation, vise en réalité explicitement la suppression du mouvement raëlien, autrement dénommé Raël du nom pris par son fondateur, la construction de la phrase ne permettant aucune confusion entre l'organisation et son responsable en dépit de l'identité de dénomination ; qu'il y a lieu de confirmer le jugement ayant déclaré Claude Y... irrecevable en ses demandes, faute d'intérêt à agir, dès lors qu'il n'était pas personnellement visé par les propos incriminés ;
ET AUX MOTIFS ADOPTES QUE le Tribunal relève tant des pièces produites aux débats que du constat d'huissier du 10 août 2004, que les propos exacts tenus par Roger X... sont les suivants : « J'irai plus loin qu 'Ophélie : il vaut vraiment supprimer Raêl, cette organisation qui veut à tout prix nous rendre idiots (à 250.000 dollars pièce...) » ; que de tels propos, pris dans leur intégralité, ne peuvent aucunement s'appliquer à la personne du demandeur, au motif : - d'une part, que si le défendeur avait préconisé la suppression physique de Claude Y..., reprenant ainsi à son compte les paroles d'Ophélie Z... : « Je pense qu 'il faut tuer Raël », il n'aurait pas déclaré « J'irai plus loin qu 'Ophélie », une telle formulation étant dénuée de sens et incompatible avec le fait d'adopter exactement la même position que celle prônée par cette dernière ; - d'autre part, que la phrase poursuivie vise explicitement la suppression de « cette organisation qui veut à tout prix nous rendre idiots... », aucune confusion ne pouvant dès lors s'opérer entre l'organisation dirigée par le demandeur et sa propre personne, et ce même si le défendeur utilise la dénomination de « Raël » ; qu'il ressort clairement des propos litigieux que Roger X..., voulant aller « plus loin » qu'Ophélie Z..., qui déclarait qu'il fallait « tuer » le demandeur, préconisait, pour sa part, de « supprimer » son organisation, exclusivement visée dans la phrase en cause ; qu'il en résulte que Claude Y..., n'étant pas personnellement visé par les propos qu'il poursuit, doit être déclaré irrecevable en ses demandes, faute d'intérêt à agir, par application des dispositions des articles 122 et 125 alinéa 2 du Nouveau Code de Procédure Civile ;
1°/ ALORS QUE le propos poursuivi était construit en deux parties bien distinctes, la première concernant Raël lui-même, la seconde se rapportant à l'organisation dirigée par Raël ; qu'en retenant dès lors, pour dénier tout intérêt à agir de Monsieur Y..., que le propos poursuivi ne visait pas Raël mais l'organisation qu'il dirige, la Cour d'Appel, qui a opéré une confusion entre deux membres de phrase distincts, a violé l'article 31 du Code de Procédure Civile, ensemble l'article 24, alinéa 1 er § 1 de la loi du 29 juillet 1881 ;
2°/ ALORS QUE (subsidiaire) l'action est ouverte à tous ceux qui ont un intérêt légitime au succès ou au rejet d'une prétention, sous réserve des cas dans lesquels la loi attribue le droit d'agir aux seules personnes qu'elle qualifie pour élever ou combattre une prétention ou pour défendre un intérêt déterminé ; que la Cour d'Appel, qui a expressément constaté que l'écrit incriminé visait expressément, en incitant à sa suppression, l'organisation dont Raêl était le dirigeant, aurait dû nécessairement en déduire l'intérêt à agir de celui-ci ; qu'en décidant le contraire, elle a derechef violé l'article 31 du Code de Procédure Civile, ensemble l'article 24 alinéa 1 er § 1 de la loi du 29 juillet 1881 ;
3°/ ALORS QUE tout plaideur a droit à un procès équitable ; que l'intérêt à agir du fondateur et dirigeant d'une organisation religieuse résulte suffisamment de la mise en cause de celle-ci ; qu'en déniant à Monsieur Y... le droit de poursuivre les propos provocateurs tenus à l'encontre du mouvement raêlien qu'il a fondé et qu'il dirige, motif pris que ces propos ne le visaient pas personnellement, la Cour d'Appel, qui s'est déterminée en considération de la spécificité religieuse de ce mouvement, a privé Monsieur Claude Y... de son droit à un procès équitable et a violé les articles 6.1 et 9.1 de la Convention Européenne des Droits de l'Homme. | fr | thumbs

en | Empleado de ONU detenido en conexión con explosiones fue detenido para ser interrogado y no es considerado sospechoso de haber cometido el atentado. Jueves, 5 mayo 2005
IBLNEWS, DPA Un empleado de las Naciones Unidas fue detenido hoy por el Buró Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) en conexión con las explosiones de esta madrugada frente al consulado británico en Nueva York, informó la cadena de noticias CNN. Según el vocero de la ONU Jim Margolin, el empleado, de nacionalidad holandesa, fue detenido para ser interrogado y no es considerado sospechoso de haber cometido el atentado. El sujeto había sido detenido por la policía poco después de las explosiones en las inmediaciones del lugar donde ocurrieron los hechos. De acuerdo a fuentes de la ONU, el hombre se desempeña como analista en la agencia para el control de armamentos en Irak (UNMOVIC). Las explosiones de esta madrugada no dejaron heridos y causaron daños menores frente al edificio del consulado británico, en las cercanías de la sede central de la ONU. Por su parte, las autoridades de la ONU reforzaron las medidas de seguridad tras el episodio. El personal de seguridad de las Naciones Unidas permanece en contacto directo con las autoridades de la ciudad de Nueva York para conocer más detalles de lo ocurrido, dijo el portavoz Stephan Dujarric. Asimismo, aclaró que por el momento no existen motivos de preocupación sobre posibles riesgos para la ONU e insistió en que el aumento de las medidas de seguridad es sólo una precaución. Entre las medidas adicionales, se incrementó la presencia de guardias de seguridad en los puntos de acceso del edificio principal e inmuebles anexos y se pidió a todas las unidades responsables de los perros detectores de explosivos que realicen patrullas constantes en las instalaciones. Las dos bombas que estallaron esta madrugada eran de fabricación casera, según informó la policía. "Estamos todos muy preocupados", dijo el alcalde de Nueva York, Michael Bloomberg, pocas horas después de las explosiones y llamó a los habitantes de la ciudad a mantener la calma. Por el momento no se sabe quiénes fueron los responsables del atentado, añadió. Pese a que no hubo lesionados y apenas se rompieron unos vidrios, el hecho de que estas explosiones se registren en la misma jornada en que Gran Bretaña celebra elecciones parlamentarias "pone dramáticamente de manifiesto la vulnerabilidad de Nueva York", evaluaron medios locales. "Dos ruidos fuertes y uno piensa de inmediato en el 11 de septiembre", dijo un hombre que se hallaba ante el edificio. Las detonaciones de poca monta sólo rompieron un panel de vidrio en el ingreso al edificio de 20 pisos, informó la policía, que acordonó todo el sector en la intersección entre la Tercera Avenida y la Calle 52, mientras expertos armeros de la policía recogieron evidencias. El transporte subterráneo en la zona fue temporariamente suspendido. Los explosivos fueron detonados a las 03:35 hora local (07:35 GMT), aparentemente con una o más mechas y no por control remoto, como se había reportado con anterioridad. Un oficial policial calificó a los artefactos de similares pero no idénticos, al describir que se trató de polvo explosivo dentro de granadas de mano de juguete. También se indicó que estaban en un cilindro de cemento con flores que protege el edificio. Envía Imprime Recibe Opina sobre esta noticia en EL DEBATE.COM Normas de publicación Nombre:

A sede da Organização das Nações Unidas em Nova Iorque reforçou hoje sua segurança, um dia depois das duas explosões em frente ao consulado do Reino Unido, a só duas quadras das instalações da ONU.
O porta-voz da Organização, Stephan Dujarric, declarou que pelo momento não se concebem riscos para a ONU e insistiu em que o aumento das medidas de segurança é só precaução. Assim mesmo, explicou que o pessoal de segurança da ONU é mantido informado acerca das investigações pelas autoridades municipais.
Entre as medidas tomadas para melhorar a segurança, está o aumento do número de guardas de segurança nos pontos de acesso do edifício principal e imóveis anexos. Unidades de cachorros detectores de explosivos patrulharão constantemente as instalações.

de | 17. März 2013 16:51 Leipziger Buchmesse endet mit Besucherrekord Schwungvoller Start ins Bücherjahr
Anzeige
Die Buchbranche hat bei der Leipziger Buchmesse neues Selbstbewusstsein getankt: Mehr Besucher als je zuvor strömten in die Ausstellungshallen. Dazu passte, dass der Bücher-Absatz in Deutschland zu Beginn des Jahres 2013 zugelegt hat. Seine Krise hat der stationäre Buchhandel damit allerdings noch lange nicht überwunden.
Mit circa 168.000 Besuchern hat die Leipziger Buchmesse in diesem Jahr einen Rekord aufgestellt. Das viertägige Frühjahrstreffen der Buchbranche endete am Sonntag. "Das Buch in seiner Vielfalt steht ungebrochen bei den Lesern hoch im Kurs", teilte die Messe am Abschlusstag mit. 2012 waren noch 163.500 Besucher gezählt worden.
Dass die Leipziger Buchmesse von Jahr zu Jahr mehr Besucher anzieht, stimmt die Branche optimistisch. Es sei ein schwungvoller Start ins Bücherjahr gewesen, bilanzierte Alexander Skipis, der Hauptgeschäftsführer des Börsenvereins des Deutschen Buchhandels.
Nächstes großes Branchenereignis ist die weltgrößte Buchmesse in Frankfurt vom 9. bis 13. Oktober. Auch die Frankfurter Buchmesse hatte 2012 gegenüber dem Vorjahr leicht zulegen können - sie hatte 281.753 (2011: 280.194) Besucher angelockt. Die Leipziger Buchmesse findet wieder vom 13. bis 16. März 2014 statt.
An vier Tagen hatten sich in Leipzig 2069 Aussteller aus 43 Ländern präsentiert. Das Feedback der Aussteller sei durchweg positiv, erklärte Martin Buhl-Wagner, Geschäftsführer der Leipziger Messe.

Unter den 168.000 Besuchern seien etwa 50.000 Fachbesucher gewesen. In einer Befragung hätten die Verlage erklärt, in Leipzig auf ein sehr neugieriges Publikum zu treffen. "Wir sind mit dem Messeverlauf hochzufrieden", erklärte Buhl-Wagner.
"Einbahnstraßen" wegen großen Besucherströmen
Der Börsenverein nutzte die Leipziger Buchmesse, um eine neue bundesweite Werbekampagne für das Bücherlesen zu starten. "Vorsicht Buch!", so der Titel, sei sehr positiv aufgenommen worden, erklärte Sikpis am Sonntag.
Vor allem der kriselnde stationäre Buchhandel soll mit der Kampagne unterstützt werden. Bei den Ausstellern auf der nach Frankfurt zweitgrößten deutschen Buchmesse herrschte nach vier Tagen eine positive Stimmung. "Es war wunderbar. Die Messe war voll. Die Leute lesen nach wie vor", sagte etwa Marietta Frick am Stand des Verlages dtv.
Auch andere Verlage berichteten von einem großen Andrang eines lesefreudigen Publikums. Am besucherstärksten Tag am Samstag war es in den Hallen teilweise eng geworden. Die Messe richtete "Einbahnstraßen" ein, um die Besucherströme zu lenken.
Buchmesse-Direktor Oliver Zille nahm den Ansturm jedoch gelassen: "Es ist ein großes psychologisches Element: Auf einer Publikumsmesse muss auch was los sein", sagte er.
Lesungen rappelvoll
Auch das Begleitprogramm "Leipzig liest" - inzwischen Europas größtes Lesefestival - wurde von den Bücherfreunden gut angenommen. Zahlreiche Lesungen an vielen verschiedenen Orten in Leipzig waren rappelvoll. Gelegentlich - wie beim Auftritt von Michail Gorbatschow in einer Kirche - musste sogar Publikum abgewiesen werden. An "Leipzig liest" und der Buchmesse hatten sich rund 2900 Autoren beteiligt. | de | Die Leipziger Buchmesse endete am 17. März 2013

Die Geschichte der Leipziger Buchmesse reicht bis in das 17. Jahrhundert zurück, 1632 überstieg die Zahl der vorgestellten Bücher erstmals die der Buchmesse in Frankfurt am Main.

Le président Barack Obama entame sa deuxième année au pouvoir alors même qu'une élection partielle lui a fait perdre mardi dernier la « super-majorité » de 60 sièges dont jouissait le parti démocrate au Sénat.

Le parti démocrate a notamment perdu au Sénat la majorité qui permettait d'éviter une obstruction des républicains, remettant en cause l'adoption de la réforme de l'assurance maladie. A la Maison-Blanche, l'entourage du président dit comprendre le message envoyé par l'électorat. Le conseiller politique David Axelrod, fait valoir que le président a du adopter des mesures impopulaires pour faire face à une crise économique dépassant les pires prévisions. M. Obama avait été averti que sa popularité s'en ressentirait, a-t-il ajouté. « Je lui ai dit il y a un an: Monsieur le Président, votre côte de popularité sera bien pire dans un an quelle ne l'est aujourd'hui, parce que vous ne pouvez pas gérer le pays avec telle économie sans beaucoup de mécontentement » a affirmé M. Axelrod à la chaîne de télévision ABC, en ajoutant qu'il n'avait aucun regret et qu'à son avis, l'histoire jugera que le président Obama a tout simplement assumé ses responsabilités. Pourtant, les républicains n'en démordent pas. A leur avis, la victoire du sénateur Brown dans le Massachusetts, État à majorité démocrate, montre que le public rejette farouchement les politiques du président, notamment ses efforts pour faire adopter la réforme de l'assurance maladie par le Congrès. Mitch McConnell, le leader républicain du Sénat, a déclaré à l'antenne de la chaîne NBC que les sondages réalisés à l'occasion du vote dans le Massachusetts montraient clairement que la population avait surtout rejeté la réforme de la santé. « Le peuple américain a remporté la victoire dans le Massachusetts. Et ils nous ont envoyé un message : il faut tout arrêter et recommencer », a estimé M. McConnell. Si la Maison-Blanche insiste sur le fait qu'elle ne renoncera à rien sur la base d'une seule consultation électorale, elle a quand même pris des dispositions. M. Obama a demandé à David Plouffe, l'un des artisans de sa victoire à la présidentielle de 2008, de superviser la campagne du Parti démocrate pour les législatives de novembre. Et puis le président entend profiter de son discours sur l'état de l'Union, prévu mercredi, pour reformuler son message afin de mieux faire comprendre aux Américains que sa politique peut améliorer leurs vies, notamment en ce qui concerne la création d'emplois.

fr | Une église chinoise reconnue par l'Etat s'est insurgée contre un projet provincial visant à restreindre la présence et la taille des croix sur les lieux de culte chrétiens, à la suite d'une vague de destructions d'églises et d'emblèmes religieux dans la région.
Les autorités de la province du Zhejiang (est), qui abrite une importante et dynamique communauté chrétienne, ont récemment publié un projet de réglementation exigeant que soient retirées les croix surplombant les toits des églises et temples de la région. Le symbole chrétien serait désormais toléré seulement au milieu de la façade, et avec des restrictions drastiques en termes de dimension, la croix ne devant pas mesurer plus d'un dixième de la hauteur du bâtiment, ont rapporté des médias étatiques. Pour l'église Chongyi à Hangzhou, la capitale provinciale, "ces nouveaux règlements se traduiront par des exigences déraisonnables pour les bâtiments catholiques et protestants". Le site internet de Chongyi, le plus important lieu de culte de l'Eglise protestante à Hangzhou, était inaccessible vendredi.
Ces critiques, très rares venant d'un lieu de culte approuvé et contrôlé par l'Etat chinois, s'exprimaient dans un texte au ton très vif diffusé cette semaine via les réseaux sociaux. Ce projet de règlement "interfère excessivement avec la liberté d'utiliser raisonnablement les lieux de culte, et il contrevient à l'esprit fondamental de la gestion des affaires religieuses par l'Etat", poursuivait ce texte adressé au gouvernement.
Les autorités ont déjà fait retirer le mois dernier les croix surmontant douze églises dans la municipalité de Lishui, également dans la province du Zhejiang, a rapporté l'ONG basé aux Etats-Unis China Aid Association.
Un pasteur chrétien a par ailleurs été condamné en mars à un an d'emprisonnement par un tribunal chinois pour "troubles à l'ordre public" après s'être opposé au décrochage de la croix du toit de son église dans le district de Pingyang. Ces nouvelles restrictions confirment un brutal durcissement des autorités provinciales du Zhejiang, depuis la destruction en avril 2014 d'une église protestante monumentale à Wenzhou, qualifiée de "construction illégale".
En Chine, les pratiques religieuses demeurent étroitement encadrées par le Parti communiste chinois, qui redoute l'émergence de contre-pouvoirs et voit d'un mauvais oeil l'essor impressionnant des conversions chrétiennes dans le pays. Les adeptes des différents cultes reconnus ne peuvent officiellement se réunir que dans des lieux dûment approuvés. Le Conseil chrétien de Chine, organisation émanant du gouvernement central, estime qu'il y a environ 20 millions de chrétiens dans le pays --chiffre ne comprenant pas les catholiques--. Mais avec l'"église souterraine" prospérant en-dehors des organisations officielles, la communauté chrétienne chinoise pourrait au total comprendre entre 40 et 60 millions de personnes, selon certaines estimations. | fr | La

en | GISS Surface Temperature Analysis
What's New
Monthly Updated Analysis
Background
The NASA GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP) provides a measure of the changing global surface temperature with monthly resolution for the period since 1880, when a reasonably global distribution of meteorological stations was established. Input data for the analysis, collected by many national meteorological services around the world, is the unadjusted data of the Global Historical Climatology Network (Peterson and Vose, 1997) except that the USHCN station records included were replaced by a later corrected version. These data were augmented by SCAR data from Antactic stations. Documentation of our analysis is provided by Hansen et al. (1999), with several modifications described by Hansen et al. (2001). The GISS analysis is updated monthly.
We modify the GHCN/USHCN/SCAR data in two stages to get to the station data on which all our tables, graphs, and maps are based: in stage 1 we try to combine at each location the time records of the various sources; in stage 2 we adjust the non-rural stations in such a way that their longterm trend of annual means is as close as possible to that of the mean of the neighboring rural stations. Non-rural stations that cannot be adjusted are dropped.
Our analysis includes results for a global temperature index as described by Hansen et al. (1996). The temperature index is formed by combining the meteorological station measurements over land with sea surface temperatures obtained primarily from satellite measurements (Reynolds and Smith, 1994; Smith et al. 1996). Any uses of the temperature index data, i.e., the results including sea surface temperatures, should credit Reynolds and Smith (1994) and Smith et al. (1996). (See references.)
We limit our analysis to the period since 1880 because of the poor spatial coverage of stations prior to that time and the reduced possibility of checking records against those of nearby neighbors. Meteorological station data provide a useful indication of temperature change in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics for a few decades prior to 1880, and there are a small number of station record s that extend back to previous centuries. However, we believe that analyses for these earlier years need to be carried out on a station by station basis with an attempt to discern the method and reliability of measurements at each station, a task beyond the scope of our analysis. Global studies of still earlier times depend upon incorporation of proxy measures of temperature change. References to such studies are provided in Hansen et al. (1999).
Annual Summations
Discussions of global surface temperature trends are available for 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999, 1998, 1997, and 1996.
Table Data: Global and Zonal Mean Anomalies dT s
Anomaly values indicate difference from the corresponding 1951-1980 means.
Gridded Monthly Maps of Temperature Anomaly Data
Users interested in the entire gridded temperature anomaly data may download the three basic binary files from our ftp site. Also available there are two sample FORTRAN programs, "SBBX_to_1x1.f" and "sbbx2nc.f", which demonstrate how you can extract gridded anomaly files for any month and year from the larger datasets.
Annual data files may be obtained from the ftp site's subdirectories bin, txt, and netcdf. However, these files are updated irregularly and may be withdrawn from the site without notice.
Anomalies and Absolute Temperatures
Our analysis concerns only temperature anomalies, not absolute temperatures. The temperature anomaly tells us how much warmer or colder than normal it is at a particular place and point in time, the 'normal temperature' being the mean over many (30) years (same place, same time of year). It seems obvious that to find the anomaly, you first have to know the current and normal absolute temperatures. This is correct for the temperature at one fixed spot (the location of one thermometer), but not true at all for regional mean temperatures.
Whereas the individual reading represents just this spot but can be very different from nearby readings, the anomaly computed from those readings is much less dependent on location, elevation, wind patterns etc; it turns out to be representative for a region that covers several square miles. Hence we can combine anomalies from various stations to find regional mean anomalies. Regional absolute temperatures however cannot be obtained from observations alone. For a more detailed discussion, see The Elusive Absolute Surface Air Temperature.

en | 2006 Was Earth's Fifth Warmest Year
Climatologists at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City have found that 2006 was the fifth warmest year in the past century.
Image right: The five warmest years since the late 1880s, according to NASA scientists, are in descending order 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2006. Credit: NASA
Other groups that study climate change also rank these years as among the warmest, though the exact rankings vary depending upon details of the analyses. Results differ especially in regions of sparse measurements, where scientists use alternative methods of estimating temperature change.
Goddard Institute researchers used temperature data from weather stations on land, satellite measurements of sea surface temperature since 1982 and data from ships for earlier years.
Images above: The upper graph shows global annual surface temperatures relative to 1951 to 1980 mean, based on surface air measurements at meteorological stations and ship and satellite measurements for sea surface temperature. Over the past 30 years the Earth has warmed by about 0.6°C or 1.08°F. The lower image is a color map of temperature anomalies in 2006 relative to the 1951 to 1980 mean. Areas that were warmest in 2006 are in red, and areas that have cooled are in blue. Note that the Arctic has warmed significantly. These temperatures are for the calendar year 2006. Figures available as large GIF or PDF.
"2007 is likely to be warmer than 2006," said James Hansen, director of NASA GISS, "and it may turn out to be the warmest year in the period of instrumental measurements. Increased warmth is likely this year because an El Niño is underway in the tropical Pacific Ocean and because of continuing increases in human-made greenhouse gases.

Most places on the globe have warmed in recent decades, with the greatest warming at high latitudes in the Arctic Ocean, Alaska, Siberia and the Antarctic Peninsula. Most ocean areas have warmed. Climatologists say that warming is not due to local effects of heat pollution in urban areas, a point demonstrated by warming in remote areas far from major cities.
Image above: This graph shows temperature changes since 1950 for both the entire world and just for the low latitudes (23.6° North to South). Since 1950, world temperatures rose by 0.6°C (1.08° F) while the low latitude temperatures rose by 0.4°C (0.72°F).

In their analysis for the 2005 calendar year, GISS climatologists noted the highest global annual average surface temperature in more than a century.

en | 2007 - forecast to be the warmest year yet
4 January 2007
2007 is likely to be the warmest year on record globally, beating the current record set in 1998, say climate-change experts at the Met Office.
Each January the Met Office, in conjunction with the University of East Anglia, issues a forecast of the global surface temperature for the coming year. The forecast takes into account known contributing factors, such as solar effects, El Niño, greenhouse gases concentrations and other multi-decadal influences. Over the previous seven years, the Met Office forecast of annual global temperature has proved remarkably accurate, with a mean forecast error size of just 0.06 °C.
Met Office global forecast for 2007 Global temperature for 2007 is expected to be 0.54 °C above the long-term (1961-1990) average of 14.0 °C;
There is a 60% probability that 2007 will be as warm or warmer than the current warmest year (1998 was +0.52 °C above the long-term 1961-1990 average).
The potential for a record 2007 arises partly from a moderate-strength El Niño already established in the Pacific, which is expected to persist through the first few months of 2007. The lag between El Niño and the full global surface temperature response means that the warming effect of El Niño is extended and therefore has a greater influence the global temperatures during the year.
Katie Hopkins from Met Office Consulting said: "This new information represents another warning that climate change is happening around the world. Our work in the climate change consultancy team applies Met Office research to help businesses mitigate against risk and adapt at a strategic level for success in the new environment."
Review of 2006 in the UK
This startling forecast follows hard on the heels of news that 2006 was the warmest year on record across the UK.
For 2006, all UK data have now been gathered, revealing a similar story to that of Central England Temperature already announced last month.
For the whole of the UK, 2006 was the warmest year on record with a mean temperature of 9.7 °C, 1.1 °C above the 1971-2000 long-term average. Ranked warmest years in the series going back to 1914 are:
2006 9.73 °C
2003 9.51 °C
2004 9.48 °C
2002 9.48 °C
2005 9.46 °C

Autumn 2006 (September to November) was also exceptionally mild over many parts of Europe at more than 3 °C above the climatological average from north of the Alps to southern Norway. In many countries it was the warmest autumn since official measurements began.
Notes:
The Met Office is the UK's National Weather Service, providing world-renowned scientific excellence in weather and climate change.
Met Office climate change consultancy provides data and risk-management services that are used by other government departments and agencies, the private sector and the public to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Change is funded by Defra and the MoD.
The 95% confidence range of the global forecast is that the temperature will lie between 0.38 °C to 0.70 °C above normal.

en | Wikipedia used to spread malicious code
A Wikipedia page has been used by hackers in an attempt to spread malicious code.
The entry for the W32.Blaster worm in the German version of the popular online encyclopedia was altered to include false information about a new version of the Lovesan/MS Blaster worm, with links to a supposed fix. The fix was actually a piece of malicious code, according to anti-virus vendor Sophos.
It's not clear how long the vandalized page was live, but the editors of Wikipedia.de moved quickly to delete the links once they were discovered.
However, because Wikipedia archives old versions of articles, the hackers were still able to send links to the archived entry through a mass-mailed e-mail. This e-mail purported to be from Wikipedia, and directed German users to the fraudulent Lovesan/MS Blaster entry. Because the e-mails linked to a legitimate website, they were able to bypass some anti-spam solutions, Sophos reported on Friday.
"The good news is that the authorities at Wikipedia quickly identified and edited the article on their site," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "Unfortunately, however, a version of the page remained in the archive, allowing the hackers to send out spam and continue to direct visitors to the malicious code."
Wikipedia confirmed that it has now permanently erased all versions of the page, according to German news site Heise Online.
Tom Espiner of ZDNet U.K. reported from London.

The page titled: "W32.Blaster" (link in German) was edited in a way where a link was placed in the article directing users to a site where an alleged fix for the Lovesan/MS Blaster worm, but the fix turned out to be false and the file was considered "malicious." Computers that were target would receive e-mails from what appeared to be the ''Wikipedia.org'' website telling them to download the fix and including a link to it.
"The good news is that the authorities at Wikipedia quickly identified and edited the article on their site," said senior technology consultant at Sophos anti-virus, Graham Cluley.
Although the edit has since been reverted or removed, until recently the edit remained in an archived version of the page; eventually, the archived version was also removed.
"A version of the page remained in the archive, allowing the hackers to send out spam and continue to direct visitors to the malicious code," added Cluley.
It is not known how many computers have been affected by the worm, if any at all. It is also not known when the edit was made and how long it was active on the site before it was deleted. However it appears that it was deleted on October 31, as the page was partially deleted on that day twice, according to log files ( english translation courtesy of google translate). |
en | The fake page was publicised via a spam e-mail
The virus writers created a page on the German Wikipedia that linked to a fake fix for a new version of an old malicious Windows worm.
But instead of curing a bug, those installing the fix would be infected by a new Windows virus.
The booby-trapped page on the German version of the online encyclopaedia has now been removed.
Cleaning up
"The very openness of websites like Wikipedia - which allow anyone to edit pages - makes them terrific, but can also make them less trustworthy," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "In this case, the article in question wasn't just misleading, it was downright malicious."
The page hijacked by the virus creators was about a new variant of the Windows Blaster worm. This malicious program debuted in 2003 and caught out many PC users.
Included on the page was a link to a supposed patch that, once downloaded and installed, would protect against this new version. However, anyone installing this on a Windows machine would infect themselves with a virus.
The malicious hackers behind the fake article then sent out a German-language spam e-mail with a message crafted to look like it came from Wikipedia. The message directed people to the booby-trapped page and the fake fix.
By piggy-backing on the good name of Wikipedia the message got past e-mail filters that would otherwise have cleaned it up.
It is not thought that many people fell victim to the booby-trapped page or downloaded the dangerous file.
"The good news is that the authorities at Wikipedia quickly identified and edited the article on their site," said Mr Cluley.
Archived versions of the booby-trapped pages have also been deleted. | en | The German version of the encyclopedia Wikipedia, has been used in an attempt to spread a "malicious code" which would unleash a virus on to personal computers worldwide.

La marche est haute pour l'attaquant Mark Scheifele entre les rangs juniors et la Ligue nationale. Pour une deuxième année de suite, les Jets de Winnipeg le renvoient à son équipe junior.
À part l'avion qu'il prendra pour rentrer à Barrie, en Ontario, c'est en autobus que Scheifele effectuera ses déplacements liés au hockey pour le reste de la saison.
En quatre matchs avec les Jets en 2013, Scheifele a été blanchi de la feuille de pointage. La saison dernière, c'est après avoir joué sept rencontres que le tout premier choix des Jets (7e au total en 2011) avait été retourné aux Colts pour y poursuivre son apprentissage.
Les Jets (4-4-1) partagent le 8e rang dans l'Association de l'Est à égalité avec les Islanders de New York.
Kiprusoff blessé
Le gardien des Flames de Calgary Miikka Kiprusoff souffre d'une blessure au bas du corps. Il l'a subie mardi soir dans la victoire de 4 à 1 sur les Red Wings de Détroit.
Kiprusoff, qui a disputé 70 matchs ou plus au cours des sept dernières saisons, avait quitté la rencontre après la deuxième période. Son état de santé sera réévalué sur une base quotidienne.
Du coup, les Flames se sont dotés d'une assurance en embauchant Danny Taylor. Ce dernier a signé une entente à deux volets d'un an évaluée à 525 000 $.
Taylor a passé les deux dernières saisons avec le Heat d'Abbotsford dans la Ligue américaine. Cette saison, il affiche une moyenne de 1,77 et un taux d'efficacité de ,930.
Taylor est un choix de septième tour (221e au total) des Kings de Los Angeles en 2004.
Portefeuille de Dubinsky allégé
L'attaquant Brandon Dubinsky des Blue Jackets de Columbus a reçu une amende de 10 000 $, mercredi, après avoir été trouvé coupable d'un assaut à l'endroit du défenseur Rob Scuderi des Kings de Los Angeles.
Le coup violent donné contre la bande a été porté durant le match de mardi soir. Sur le fait, Dubinsky s'était vu décerner une pénalité majeure de cinq minutes et une inconduite de match.
La somme représente l'amende maximale prévue selon la nouvelle convention collective en vigueur dans la LNH. L'argent sera versé au Fonds d'urgence de l'Association des joueurs. | fr | Mark Scheifele est renvoyé aux Colts de Barrie.

Stupidedia gibt es mittlerweile schon seit 2004. Heute wollen wir einen neuen Schritt wagen und eine neue Version der Stupidedia vorstellen.
In den letzten Wochen haben wir an einem neuen Design und auch Konzept für Stupidedia gearbeitet.
Einen ersten Blick könnt ihr unter https://beta.stupidedia.org werfen.
Wie auf der Seite ersichtlich, bewegen wir uns von dem klassischen Wiki-Konzept weg. Das heißt jedoch nicht, dass die Stupidedia nun keine Community-Website mehr ist. Es wird weiterhin möglich sein Artikel, bei Stupidedia zu veröffentlichen - Jeder wird weiterhin die Möglichkeit haben Artikel und Bilder online zu stellen.
Dabei gelten nach wie vor unsere Richtlinien (https://beta.stupidedia.org/richtlinien/). Die Autoren der Artikel werden mehr hervorgehoben und Besucher können sich leichter in Form von Kommentaren in die Community einbringen.
Die Entscheidung ist uns nicht leicht gefallen, jedoch glauben wir, dass für einen zukünftigen und erfolgreichen Fortbestand der Stupidedia Erneuerungen erforderlich sind.
Einige Artikel des Wikis wurden schon in der neuen Version übernommen und es werden viele weitere folgen. Das Wiki wird nicht aus dem Web verschwinden, sondern als Archiv weiterhin unter einer Subdomain abrufbar sein.
Zusätzlich werden neue Texte unter einer neuen freien Lizenz, CC BY-SA 3.0, erscheinen. Für alle Artikel, die im Wiki erschienen sind, gilt weiterhin die bisherige Lizenz. Eine genauere Erläuterung der Lizenz findet man hier: https://beta.stupidedia.org/lizenz/
Vorteile der neuen Stupidedia [ Bearbeiten ]

fr | AFP - Le président russe Dmitri Medvedev a envisagé pour la première fois le départ de Bachar al-Assad, estimant vendredi que le régime syrien devait faire des réformes ou partir, même si Moscou maintient son opposition à toute ingérence dictée par les Occidentaux.
"Nous travaillons activement avec les dirigeants syriens pour qu'ils procèdent aux réformes indispensables. S'ils ne sont pas capables de mener ces réformes, ils doivent partir", a déclaré M. Medvedev au cours d'une réunion de Conseil de sécurité russe.
"Mais c'est au peuple et au régime syrien de décider cela, et non pas à l'Otan ou à certains pays européens", a ajouté le président russe, avertissant que Moscou continuerait de bloquer à l'ONU "des sanctions visant à déboucher sur des changements de régime".
Ces déclarations interviennent quelques jours après le veto de la Russie et de la Chine - membres permanents du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU - à un projet de résolution sur la sanglante répression des manifestations en Syrie.
Les pays occidentaux qui avaient présenté mardi un projet appelant à des "mesures ciblées" contre la Syrie ont vivement dénoncé la décision de la Russie et de la Chine, la répression des manifestations par le régime de Damas ayant fait, selon l'ONU, plus de 2.700 morts depuis la mi-mars.
Alliée de longue date de la Syrie, à laquelle elle fournit des armements, la Russie s'est défendue d'être l'avocate du régime de Damas et a fait valoir qu'elle accueillerait en octobre deux délégations de l'opposition syrienne comme elle l'a déjà fait - sans grand résultat - par le passé.
Moscou avait proposé à l'ONU son propre projet de résolution écartant toute idée de sanction et insistant la nécessité d'un dialogue politique, comme elle le fait depuis des mois.
Vendredi, M. Medvedev a reproché aux auteurs du texte de ne pas y avoir inclus une clause selon laquelle il n'y aurait "aucune ingérence militaire dans ce conflit", Moscou disant vouloir éviter une répétition du scénario libyen.
Après avoir permis, en s'abstenant au Conseil de sécurité, les bombardements de l'Otan en Libye, la Russie a vivement critiqué l'Alliance atlantique, lui reprochant d'avoir outrepassé le mandat accordé par les Nations unies en cherchant à renverser le régime du colonel Kadhafi.
Au début de la révolte en Syrie à la mi-mars, la Russie soutenait le régime de Bachar al-Assad et a souligné par la suite que celui-ci s'était engagé à faire des réformes démocratiques.
A partir de l'été, le Kremlin a commencé à dire que le régime syrien était responsable de la sanglante répression des manifestations dans le pays, tout en appelant le régime à mettre en place des réformes.
Désormais, Moscou envisage un possible départ du président Assad, de plus en plus isolé sur la scène internationale.
Dans le même temps, la Russie affirme que l'opposition syrienne compte dans ses rangs des "terroristes" qui risqueraient d'arriver au pouvoir dans l'hypothèse d'une chute du régime.

Serge Akakpo is said to be one of the players injured in the attack [AFP]
Armed men have opened fire on a bus carrying Togo's national football squad to the African Cup of Nations tournaments in Angola, killing the driver and wounding at least two players, officials have said. The attack took place on Friday, shortly after the team passed into the Cabinda region, which is separated from the rest of Angola by a thin strip of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), which has been fighting for independence for three decades, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was aimed at the team's military escorts.
Thomas Dossevi, a Togo striker, told the RMC radio station that the team was "shot at like dogs" by hooded assailants who were "armed to the teeth".
"We had just crossed the border ... everything was fine. Then there was a powerful burst of gunfire," he said.
"Everyone dived under the seats and the police fired back. It felt like war had broken out. It's shocking."
High profile players
Gabriel Ameyi, the Togo Football Federation vice-president, said players Obilale Kossi and Serge Akakpo had been wounded in the attack.
The Associated Press news agency reported that two team doctors and a journalist travelling with the squad had also been injured.
The attack comes just two days before the start of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, the continent's biggest football event.
A spokesman for the tournament has said that it will go ahead despite the attack.
"Our great concern is for the players, but the championship goes ahead," Souleymane Habuba, a spokesman for the Confederation of African Football, said.
The Togo team had been training in Congo and were travelling to Angola by bus ahead of their match against Ghana on Monday.
Cabinda is scheduled to host seven matches in the tournament this month.
Karthi Gnanasegaram, Al Jazeera's sports correspondent in London, said some high profile players, including captain Emmanuel Adebayor, who plays for the English club, Manchester City, were in the Togo team.
"We have spoken to Manchester City. They have told us he is definitely safe and he is unharmed, but he is obviously shaken by what has happened in the last few hours," she said.
Antonio Bento Bembe, Angola's minister without porfolio who is in charge of Cabinda affairs, condemned the attack.
"This was an act of terrorism that is being dealt with as we speak," Bento Bembe told Reuters.
'Failed security'
Guy Momat, an independent Congolese journalist, told Al Jazeera that the FLEC consider the Cabinda region to be a separate entity from the rest of Angola.
"We've got oil and timber in Cabinda and for years groups have been trying to take control of them for the profits."
Momat said that the unrest had subsided in recent years giving impetus to Angola staging the tournament.FLEC signed a peace deal with Angola's government in 2006, but in recent months has claimed a spate of attacks on the military and foreign oil and construction workers in the province.
Keir Radnedge, a leading football author and a former editor of World Soccer magazine, told Al Jazeera that security arrangements in Angola had failed.
"The problem with any sports organisation is that they do rely on this moratorium that generally sports teams don't get attacked. Now obviously, that is something that is falling apart."
"The situation speaks volumes about the difficulty of trying to protect any number of sports teams when they're travelling.
"This is one of the big worries concerning South Africa and the World Cup," he said, referring to the upcoming 2010 football tournament.
"This is probably the worst thing that could have happened at the start of the South African World Cup year."
Angola as a whole is only just emerging from a 27-year civil war which erupted shortly after it gained independence from Portugal and finally ended in 2002. | en | A bus carrying the football team of the African country of Togo was ambushed by gunmen earlier today, wounding at least two players, as it crossed the border into Angola. Some reports suggested that the driver was killed.
The attackers reportedly opened fire on the bus with machine guns as it was travelling though Cabinda. The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda, a separatist group, soon claimed responsibility for the ambush.
Central defender Serge Akakpo and the back-up goalkeeper, Obilale Kossi, was hurt as well, according to Gabriel Ameyi, the Togo Football Federation vice-president.
"We had just crossed the border ... everything was fine. Then there was a powerful burst of gunfire. Everyone dived under the seats and the police fired back. It felt like war had broken out. It's shocking," said Thomas Dossevi, a Togo striker, to the RMC radio station.
The incident occurs two days before the start of the largest football competition in Africa, the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. The contest's organisers said that Togo's team will still participate in the event despite the ambush; however, midfielder Alaixys Romao commented that his team might have to withdraw.
"No-one wants to play. We're not capable of it. We're thinking first of all about the health of our injured because there was a lot of blood on the ground," he said to RMC radio.
"If we are still not sure about security then we will be leaving," captain Emmanuel Adebayor, of Manchester City, commented. "It's a football game, it's one of the biggest tournaments in Africa and a lot of people would love to be in our position but I don't think anybody would be prepared to give their life," he said to BBC Afrique.
"So I will talk with the team and we will discuss between us and take a group decision that we think is good for our careers, good for our lives and good for our families because at the end of the day it is only football." |

Gunmen have fired on a bus carrying Togo's football team to the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, wounding players and reportedly killing the driver. The attackers machine-gunned the vehicle after it crossed from the Republic of Congo into Angola's oil-rich territory of Cabinda. Rebels who have been fighting for the region's independence later said they had carried out the attack. The organisers of the tournament, which starts on Sunday, say it will go ahead. The Angolan government called the incident an "act of terrorism". The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (Flec), which said it carried out the attack, has fought for independence for several decades, but entered a ceasefire in 2006. In a statement quoted by Portugal's Lusa news agency, the group said: "This operation is only the start of a series of targeted actions that will continue in all the territory of Cabinda." Togo is due to play its first cup game in Cabinda on Monday. The Confederation of African Football confirmed that the tournament would go ahead as planned, despite the violent attack. Angolan Sports Minister Goncalves Muandumba said security for the competition would be stepped up to guarantee "all the conditions necessary for the success, tranquillity and security of the people and their belongings".

Romanian side FC Vaslui confirmed that Mr Akakpo, who joined the club from French side Auxerre last year, was shot and badly injured in the attack. The 22-year-old was out of danger after being struck by two bullets and being treated by doctors, the club said. The team's communications manager was among those seriously wounded in the shooting. Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor was also on the bus but is unhurt. Speaking to the BBC, he described the incident as "one of the worst experiences of his life". "I'm still under shock," Mr Adebayor said. "I was one of those who carried the injured players into the hospital - that is when I realised what was really going on. All the players, everyone was crying, calling their mums, crying on the phone, saying their last words because they thought they'd be dead." The bus was travelling to Cabinda from the squad's training ground in the Republic of Congo when the shooting happened. "This was an act of terrorism," Cabinda affairs minister Bento Bembe told Reuters news agency. Football's highest governing body, Fifa, said it was troubled by the incident. "Fifa and its president, Joseph S Blatter, are deeply moved by today's incidents which affected Togo's national team, to whom they express their utmost sympathy," the body said in a statement. Competition officials said they had not known that the Togolose team had decided to drive directly to Cabinda. They said they had expected the squad first to fly to the Angolan capital, Luanda, and from there to Cabinda. Shot 'like dogs' The head of the Togolese football federation told AFP news agency that the driver had died. Togo striker Thomas Dossevi told France's RMC radio that several players were "in a bad state" after the attack. CABINDA Oil-rich province cut off from the rest of Angola by DR Congo Flec rebels fought for region's independence Rebels laid down arms in 2006 but some unrest continues Angola had dismissed concerns about staging games there
Togo footballers tell of attack "We were machine-gunned, like dogs," he said. "At the border with Angola - machine-gunned! I don't know why. I thought it was some rebels. We were under the seats of the bus for 20 minutes, trying to get away from the bullets." The identities of those injured - who also included team staff - have not yet been confirmed. Togo's first game in the tournament is due to be against Ghana on Monday. But midfielder Alaixys Romao told RMC the team was likely to pull out of the 16-nation cup. "No-one wants to play," he said. "We're not capable of it. "We're thinking first of all about the health of our injured because there was a lot of blood on the ground."

The attackers reportedly opened fire on the bus with machine guns as it was travelling though Cabinda. The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda, a separatist group, soon claimed responsibility for the ambush.
Central defender Serge Akakpo and the back-up goalkeeper, Obilale Kossi, was hurt as well, according to Gabriel Ameyi, the Togo Football Federation vice-president.
"We had just crossed the border ... everything was fine. Then there was a powerful burst of gunfire. Everyone dived under the seats and the police fired back. It felt like war had broken out. It's shocking," said Thomas Dossevi, a Togo striker, to the RMC radio station.
The incident occurs two days before the start of the largest football competition in Africa, the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. The contest's organisers said that Togo's team will still participate in the event despite the ambush; however, midfielder Alaixys Romao commented that his team might have to withdraw.
"No-one wants to play. We're not capable of it. We're thinking first of all about the health of our injured because there was a lot of blood on the ground," he said to RMC radio.
"If we are still not sure about security then we will be leaving," captain Emmanuel Adebayor, of Manchester City, commented. "It's a football game, it's one of the biggest tournaments in Africa and a lot of people would love to be in our position but I don't think anybody would be prepared to give their life," he said to BBC Afrique.
"So I will talk with the team and we will discuss between us and take a group decision that we think is good for our careers, good for our lives and good for our families because at the end of the day it is only football." |
en | Indonesia defeated by Saudi Arabia at last minute in Asian Cup 15/7/2007 11:32
With nearly 90,000 supporters including the president's attendance and cheering, the Indonesian team played offensive football with full confidence at the very beginning.
But at the 14th minute, Saudi Arabia broke the stalemate first. Captain and striker Yasser Al Qahtani received teammate's air pass in the forbidden zone and kicked header just outside the box successfully.
With stronger cheering, the Indonesians launched more attacks, and just 6 minutes later, by dint of opponents' misplay, Elie Aiboy, a small forward gave a suddenly blitz kick and bring the two teams at the same score.
In the second-half time, the Saudi Arabians at least had 3 times to score, but all missed or destroyed by tough defenders, and the Indonesians also produced a lot of troubles in the front of opponents' goal.
When audiences at spot were beginning to cheer the match would end with draw at the last minute, the Saudi Arabians won a freeball at the left corner of forbidden zone.
They used a seconded header to suddenly kill Indonesia by substitute Saad Al Harthi. The three Asian Cup champion finally showed their rich experience and roughly won the match to secure their qualification of the second round in this tournament. | en | Saudi Arabia has scored in injury time to defeat Indonesia 2-1 in their 2007 AFC Asian Cup Group D fixture.
Saudi Arabia took the lead after twelve minutes, when Yasser Al-Qahtani headed home a cross from the right hand side of the field by Ahmed Al Bahri. His header was driven low and to the left of the Indonesian goalkeeper Yandri Christian Pitoy, who dived but failed to get his right hand to the ball.
Indonesia struck back and levelled eight minutes later, when Elie Aiboy rounded Saudi goalkeeper Yasser Al Mosailem and calmly slotted the ball into the empty net. Elie received a through-ball from Budi Sudarsono and kept his composure, going to the left of the advancing goalkeeper and taking an extra touch before putting the ball into the back of the net.
Both goalkeepers made saves to keep their sides level, with Mosailem making two late in the first half to keep Saudi Arabia level at the break. Pitoy made a couple of excellent saves late in the second half, and Indonesian defender Maman Abdurrahman made a precise sliding tackle to stop a one-on-one opportunity for Al Qahtani on seventy-eight minutes.
The 88,000 predominantly-Indonesian fans inside the Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta were silenced by a Saad Al-Harthi goal in the ninety-second minute. A swinging free kick from the left hand side saw Al-Harthi leap and head the ball beyond goalkeeper Pitoy's grasp to give Saudi Arabia all three points and the lead of Group D. Korea Republic play Bahrain this afternoon (UTC) in the fourth Group D fixture.
In Group C, Uzbekistan has defeat Malaysia 5-0 at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, Kuala Lumpur. It is Malaysia's second consecutive five-goal defeat, after they lost to China 5-1 in their other Group C fixture.
Maksim Shatskikh opened the scoring after ten minutes with a back-post header. Timur Kapadze then doubled Uzbekistan's advantage on twenty-nine minutes, before Ulugbek Bakaev converted a penalty kick just before half time to make the score 3-0.
After the break, Malaysia dug in and didn't concede again for forty minutes. On eighty-five minutes, Aziz Ibragimov broke through to score. Shatskikh completed his double and the 5-0 result in the eighty-ninth minute
The result leaves Uzbekistan on top of Group C on three points, equal with China and Iran. The latter two play each other this afternoon (UTC). |
en | Asian Cup: Last gasp winner gives Saudi 2-1 victory over Indonesia
JAKARTA, Indonesia: Saudi Arabia substitute Saad Al Harthi scored an injury-time header to beat Indonesia 2-1 in Group D on Saturday, putting the Middle Eastern side on course to reach the quarter finals of the Asian Cup.
Saudi Arabia were good value for the victory, dominating the last half hour of the match, but the nature of the defeat was cruel on Indonesia, which had performed doggedly, and the 88,000 fans at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
The result leaves three times winners Saudi Arabia atop the group with 4 points, and have one foot in the quarterfinals. Indonesia, which has three, now need to pick up points against Asian giants South Korea in its final game to progress.
"I am very disappointed," said Indonesia coach Ivan Kolev. "In my view, we did enough to gain a point because we played well."
Al Harti, who had been on the pitch for less than five minutes, leapt to glance in a header from an angled freekick from the left, prompting jubilation on the Saudi bench.
"We took our opportunity and we have the victory," said Saudi coach Helio Cesar dos Anjos. "There were some difficult moments for us, especially with the crowd cheering Indonesia on, but everybody could see we controlled the game for the last 20 minutes."
The first real chance of the evening fell to Indonesia when Elie Aiboy missed an open net after Saudi goalkeeper Yasser Al Mosailem spilled a powerful freekick.
Saudi Arabia quickly made Indonesia pay for that miss when, on 12 minutes, Ahmed Al Bahri sent a cross from the right where he found Yasser Al Qahtani, who headed powerfully past the sprawling Indonesian keeper Yandri Christian Pitoy.
Aiboy made amends for his earlier miss on 19 minutes, running onto a threaded through ball by Budi Sudarsono, coolly rounding the keeper and slotting home the equalizer. The goal was met with volleys of fireworks and red flares by the home fans.
As the half drew to a close, Aiboy came within a whisker of his second goal when he cheekily attempted to chip the keeper from a well-worked move following Indonesia's first corner, but the keeper just tipped it over the bar. Sudarsono forced the keeper to make another good save seconds later when he almost headed in from a second corner.
Saudi Arabia finished the match strongly.
Pitoy pulled off two smart saves to keep the game 1-1. On 78 minutes, the highly impressive Yasser Al Qahtani was one on one with the goalkeeper but guilty of taking one too many touches, allowing Indonesian defender Maman Abdurrahman to make a superb sliding challenge.
Elsewhere in Group D, South Korea has one point after drawing with Saudi Arabia, while Bahrain is pointless following its loss to Indonesia. On Sunday, the two teams meet, with Bahrain having to draw or win to stay in the competition. | en | Saudi Arabia has scored in injury time to defeat Indonesia 2-1 in their 2007 AFC Asian Cup Group D fixture.

En vísperas de las elecciones del domingo, este jueves finaliza el período de campaña electoral en Venezuela, donde se elegirá al sucesor del fallecido presidente Hugo Chávez.
La lucha ideológica entre el presidente encargado, Nicolás Maduro, y su contendor, Henrique Capriles, ha despertado a sus simpatizantes e incluso se han producido enfrentamientos en las calles.
Sin embargo, este jueves se registró el hecho más grave tras el hallazgo del cuerpo asesinado de Juan Aranda (52), coordinador de campaña de Capriles. El cadáver se encontraba con múltiples disparos.
Según informan medios extranjeros, el crimen ocurrió luego de que Aranda fuera secuestrado por dos sujetos que se hicieron pasar por policías, denunció la familia de la víctima.
“Pasadas las 11 de la noche del lunes lo fueron a buscar a su vivienda una pareja de motorizados y se lo llevaron. Horas más tarde apareció muerto de múltiples disparos en el sector Palotal”, relataron sus familiares.
Según el diario en su versión digital, Aranda había participado ese día en una caminata a favor de Capriles. En el recorrido se encontraron con seguidores del candidato oficialista Nicolás Maduro, quienes también hacían campaña.
“Salvo los gritos de consigna a favor de un candidato y otro, no hubo ningún problema. Por eso nos pareció extraño que a Juan le llegaran a su casa, como a las 11 a decirle que lo estaba buscando la policía porque y que había agredido a un chavista. Los sujetos no eran policías”, dijeron los allegados.

es | 11 abril 2013 | Caracas -
Un coordinador de campaña del candidato opositor Henrique Capriles fue asesinado a tiros luego de participar el lunes en la noche en un volanteo por casas del municipio Pedro María Ureña en Venezuela.
Juan Aranda, coordinador del comando Simón Bolívar, se dirigía a su residencia en la localidad de Tienditas cuando fue secuestrado por varios hombres y luego hallado muerto en una cancha deportiva de la localidad.
Aranda fungía como coordinador del centro de votación de la escuela Cipriano Castor en Tienditas y militaba en el Movimiento al Socialismo.
Se conoció que antes del asesinato, el grupo en el que se encontraba se topó con personas que respaldan la candidatura del presidente encargado Nicolás Maduro, pero se fueron del lugar para evitar enfrentamientos.

en | como iditota no entiende que eso no genera diero si no mas pobreza y quines son los que toman gaseosa al almuerzo y nada mas??
El rey de qué? fracasados perdedores, que salen de colombia a hacer el ridiculo, porque en esos torneos los arbitros no se compran. Que han ganado? una libertadores hace 20 años y pare, y despues de quejan de millonarios que viven del pasado, porque lo del torneo nacional tiene un tufillo mafioso bastante desagradable. Entonces dejen de creerse algo que no tienen, ayer con 13 en la cancha y no pudieron. Que tal si postobon gana el martilllo,entonces que los otros equipos monten otro torneo, porque ahí si con canal, periodistas pre-pago y con sus amenazas que si narconal no gana retiramos el patrocinio que será de ese torneo?
simplemente no me parece etico que un grupo empresarial maneje tanto el campeonato como el equipo y el canal oficial, eso es como ser juez y parte, al estilo RCN con los premios TvyNovela; si amenzaraon con quitar el patrocinio del torneito de pacotilla para que no sancionaran al nacional, ahora patrocinando el torneo oficial la cosa se va a complicar aun mas, a sabiendas de que tambien manejan el medio oficial, donde se informara que todo marcha de maravilla y el nacional sera el eterno campeon del futbol colombiano
Y es que no se dan cuenta que cerveza Aguila patrocina varios equipos, y esto no quiere decir que los equipos que patrocina esta marca sean campeones o se hagan la rosca. Las olimpiadas varias veces las ha patrocinado Coca..........cola, y los gringos se han llevado su garrotera de los rusos y de los chinos algunas veces. Es mejor que se patrocine el futbol de esta manera y no con productos que inducen al vicio, además, se coloca a circular el dinero y se ayuda a equipos que no gozan de grandes presupuestos, y que entre otras cosas han dado sorpresas quedando campeones por encima de los grandes de este pais. Por favor seamos constructivos y comportemosno como civilizados al ir a los estadios, demostremos cultura. Un partido es un partido y nada mas, la tierra sigue girando.
el futbol profesional colombiano cada dia se hace una mafia mas nauseabunda... uno cree que no puede empeorar pero lo hace, yo no me imagino los torcidos que se van a terminar haciendo alla dentro... minimo le ponen equipo a la oficina de envigado, ahi varito, pan y circo, y a falta de pan, una gaseosa postobon...
BIENVENIDA COCA COLA A NUESTRO FÚTBOL. YA NO QUEREMOS MÁS ESTAS EMPRESAS COMPROMETIDAS CON EL PATROCINIO DIRECTO E INDIRECTO A LAS MAFIAS PARAMILITARES QUE -ASOLARON- Y ASUELAN A LA POBRE GENTE DE ESTE POBRE PAÍS. YA NO QUEREMOS MÁS MAFIAS EN EL FÚTBOL, Y POSTOBÓN ES EL MISMO QUE SALVÓ DE UN PLUMAZO A NACIONAL DE ESTAR COMO EL AMÉRICA DE CALI -LISTA CLINTON-, PUES SU SUSTENTO NARCO ERA -Y ES- CONOCIDO POR TODOS (Y LOS ANTECEDENTES JUDICIALES DE ESTE CLUB?. AVERIGÜELO VARGAS !!!). OJALÁ SEA COCA COLA NUESTRO PATROCINADOR Y NO ESTA EMPRESA QUE DESPREZA NUESTRA LEGALIDAD...
Postobon fue el responsable directo del GRAN ROBO del Narcoanal en el ano 2007. Creen que colombia se va a olvidar de como tuvieron que comprar desde el primer partido (narcoanal vs Bucaramanga) hasta el ultimo (santa fe vs cali) para quedar campeones. como seria de malo este HP equipo que tuvieron que comprar TODOS LOS PARTIDOS. Yo no tomo ni compro POSTOBON y mucho menos ire al estadio cuando estos corruptos paisas existan, osea nunca
Nada ya q no podemos hacer nada....simplemente rechacemos los productos del renovado cartel de medellin encabezado por ardila lulle ...no volvamos a consumir productos postobon, ni ver RCN ... y ni miremos los partidos del narcoanal q ya sabemos q estan comprados ...no se les haga raro q lo q van a pagar este año no sea un adelanto sino mas bien el pago del campeonato de este año...volvamonos anti ardila lulle...no rcn..no postobon y no narcoanal...

de | Ein kleiner Vergleich sei angebracht: FC Red Bull Salzburg hatte erst im Jänner Bayern München in der ausverkauften Red Bull Arena mit 3:0 in die Schranken gewiesen – auch wenn es nur ein Test war. Es war aber auch ein Vorgeschmack, welche Art von Fußball in Salzburg nun gepflegt wird. Und dass man damit sehr erfolgreich sein kein, war ja schon beim Treffen mit den Münchnern zu Jahresbeginn zu erkennen.
Internationale Top-Nachwuchsteams in Salzburg
Samstag standen sich bei der sechsten Next Generation Trophy, dem international weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannten U16-Turnier, die zwei besten U16-Nachwuchsteams aus Österreich und Deutschland erneut gegenüber. Wiederum wirkten die Hausherren, als hätten sie die bessere Taktik aus der Schublade geholt. Die Bayern versuchten im gesamten Spielaufbau spielerische Lösungen zu finden. So weit, so gut. Doch das spielte der Rose-Truppe perfekt in die Karten. Immer wieder konnten Bälle in der bayerischen Vorwärtsbewegung abgefangen werden. Randy Montie, Salzburg-Torschütze vom Dienst mit Kamerun-Wurzeln und seit einem Jahr in der Mozartstadt, kam in Minute fünf gleich zum ersten Mal gefährlich vors gegnerische Tor.
Die Bayern reagierten, stellten auf Konter um. Eine Attacke an Stürmer Wintzheimer hätte zu einem Elfmeter führen können, auch die nächsten zwei Chancen verbuchten die Gäste. Doch Salzburg-Keeper Schragl bewies, warum er ein starker Rückhalt des Teams ist. Es entwickelte sich ein offener Schlagabtausch, in dem nun auch die Jungbullen tollen Kombinationsfußball boten.
1:0 für Salzburg nach Foul-Elfmeter
Unmittelbar vor dem Pausenpfiff, in einer neuerlichen Drangperiode der Salzburger, kam es zur Schlüsselszene der Partie: Wolf nahm sich eine weite Clement-Flanke über die Bayern-Abwehr perfekt mit, und der Bayern-Goalie kann nur noch die Notbremse ziehen. Rot für ihn – Elfer für Salzburg. Und Randy Montie netzte mit seinem fünften Turniertreffer zur Führung unmittelbar vor der Pause ein. Da spendete auch die Zuseher-Prominenz um Salzburg- und Leipzig-Sportdirektor Ralf Rangnick, ÖFB-Sportdirektor Willi Ruttensteiner, Jugend-Nationalteamtrainer Hermann Stadler sowie unzählige internationale Scouts kräftigen Applaus. Die Bayern gingen nun aggressiver in die Zweikämpfe, setzten alles auf eine Karte. Die Salzburg-Boys blieben aber abgebrüht, strahlten über Konter weiterhin große Gefahr aus. Als Randy Montie, das Spielfeld drei Minuten vor dem Ende verließ, schien alles entschieden zu sein. Salzburg kam zwar noch zu Chancen, wie etwa durch einen Meisl-Kopfball, aber auch das 1:0 reichte zum Sieg! Bei den Salzburgern kannte der Jubel bei der anschließenden Siegerehrung natürlich keine Grenzen. Aus dem unglaublich starken Salzburger-Kollektiv hervorzuheben ist Randy Montie, der im Finale Nervenstärke bewies und den Elfmeter trocken verwandelte. So gab es für Trainer Marco Rose und seine Jungs einige Gründe für eine ausgelassene Feier. Und die Jungbullen dürfen sich nun Rekordbullen nennen. Sie sind in der sechsjährigen Geschichte das erste Team, das sich den Titel zum zweiten Mal geschnappt hat.

Zum sechsten Mal veranstaltet die Nachwuchsakademie des FC Red Bull Salzburg die „Next Generation Trophy“, ein Turnier mit U16-Teams namhafter internationaler Klubs.
Ein internationales U16-Turnier der Extraklasse!
Von 14. bis 16. August 2014 (Eröffnung am Donnerstag um 11:00 Uhr) treffen in der brandneuen Nachwuchsakademie Liefering zwölf Teams aus acht Nationen und drei Kontinenten aufeinander.
Titelverteidiger FC Basel
Das Los der Titelverteidigung ist bei der Next Generation Trophy kein leichtes. Bislang ist es noch keiner Mannschaft gelungen, den Titel erfolgreich zu verteidigen, was auf ein hochklassiges und ausgeglichenes internationales Niveau schließen lässt. Der FC Basel wird als fünfte Mannschaft sein Glück versuchen, um die begehrte internationale Trophäe erneut mit nach Hause zu nehmen. Die Eidgenossen haben im letzten Jahr Nervenstärke bewiesen. In fünf Partien erhielten die Basler kein Gegentor und erzielten ein Tor in der regulären Spielzeit, sind aber aufgrund einer starken Performance im Elfmeterschießen immer aufgestiegen und konnten sich schlussendlich den Turniersieg sichern.
Internationale Gäste
Der positive Ruf der Next Generation Trophy hat sich im europäischen Fußball bereits verbreitet und das Turnier entwickelte sich zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil des Turnierkalenders vieler Mannschaften. Neben den bereits traditionellen Teilnehmern – FC Basel, Bayern München, Manchester City F.C. sowie den Red Bull Akademie-Mannschaften aus Leipzig, Brasilien und New York – sind einige weitere hochkarätige Teams vertreten. So zählen heuer internationale Kaliber wie der Liverpool F.C., Espanyol de Barcelona und Borussia Dortmund zum Starterfeld. Neben dem Veranstalter FC Red Bull Salzburg ist mit der Wiener Austria eine weitere österreichische Top-Nachwuchsmannschaft dabei. Last, but not least die West African Football Academy, die seit Kurzem eine intensive technische und inhaltliche Kooperation mit Red Bull verbindet.
Next Generation Trophy als Sprungbrett
Viele Talente, die in den letzten Jahren bei der Next Generation Trophy im Einsatz waren, haben bereits den Sprung in diverse Profimannschaften geschafft. Beispielsweise spielt Youri mittlerweile in der Kampfmannschaft des RSC Anderlecht, oder auch Niclas Füllkrug, der über den SV Werder Bremen nun beim 1. FC Nürnberg zum Einsatz kommt. Aber auch aus der Akademie des FC Red Bull Salzburg haben es einige Akteure in die heimische Bundesliga geschafft. Valentino Lazaro (Gewinner 2011 und „Spieler des Turniers“) gilt beim FC Red Bull Salzburg als Paradebeispiel. Mit seinen jungen 18 Jahren konnte er mit den Meisterschafts- und Cuperfolgen (2012, 2014) bereits zweimal das Double gewinnen und feierte vor Kurzem auch sein Debüt in der österreichischen Nationalmannschaft. Mit 16 Jahren, 7 Monaten und 10 Tagen war Valentino Lazaro zudem der jüngste jemals eingesetzte Spieler der Roten Bullen in der Bundesliga.
Für den Sportlichen Nachwuchsleiter Thomas Letsch hat dieses Turnier auch dadurch einen hohen Stellenwert: „Für die weitere Entwicklung unserer jungen Talente ist gerade der Vergleich mit internationalen Topteams von größter Bedeutung. Die Next Generation Trophy 2014 bietet hierzu eine perfekte Gelegenheit, und ich freue mich, auch in diesem Jahr wieder ein hochkarätiges Teilnehmerfeld mit zwölf Teams aus acht Nationen in unserer neuen Nachwuchsakademie begrüßen zu dürfen. Ich wünsche uns allen drei Tage gute Unterhaltung mit Nachwuchsfußball auf höchstem Niveau.“
FC Red Bull Salzburg AKA U16-Trainer Marco Rose: „Wie jedes Jahr um diese Zeit haben wir eine neue U16-Mannschaft. Auch in dieser frühen Phase der Saison möchten wir uns bei unserem Heimturnier so gut wie möglich verkaufen. Unser Ziel muss es ganz klar sein, den Fußball, für den der FC Red Bull Salzburg steht, auf den Platz zu bekommen. Für meine Spieler ist es neben der nationalen Herausforderung immer etwas Besonders, sich mit internationalen Top-Mannschaften zu messen. Wir freuen uns, die Next Generation Trophy erstmals in unserer neuen und außergewöhnlichen Akademie spielen zu können. “

en | Images of destruction in Beirut
In pictures
Mr Egeland, the UN's emergency relief chief, described the destruction as "horrific" as he toured the city.
He arrived hours after another Israeli strike on Beirut. Israel also hit Sidon, a port city in the south crammed with refugees, for the first time.
In Haifa, two people died as Hezbollah rockets struck the Israeli city.
Fifteen people were reportedly injured by the volley of rockets, which struck a house and an industrial zone.
Several were injured in rocket attacks on Haifa
He says the rocket exploded next to a carriageway, raking passing cars with shrapnel and ball bearings and killing a man in a nearby vehicle.
A later barrage of missiles was reported to have injured five people.
'Block after block'
Mr Egeland arrived in southern Beirut on Sunday just hours after Israeli strikes on the Hezbollah stronghold.
A visibly moved Mr Egeland expressed shock that "block after block" of buildings had been levelled.
He appealed for both sides to halt attacks and said UN supplies of humanitarian aid would begin to arrive in the next few days.
"But we need safe access," he said. "So far Israel is not giving us access."
Israel has said it will lift its blockade on Beirut's port to allow aid through, but with roads, bridges and trucks among Israel's targets, transporting it around the country is difficult.
In other developments:
UK Foreign Minister Kim Howells is due to meet Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. A day after accusing Israel of targeting "the entire Lebanese nation", he said the British government understood Israel's need to defend itself and criticised Hezbollah for hiding weapons in civilian areas.
The US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is due to leave for the Middle East later on Sunday.
Israeli Defence Minister Amir Peretz said Israel supports the idea of an international peacekeeping force in south Lebanon, and suggested it should be led by Nato. A Nato official said there had been no discussion so far of any Nato role.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel had "pushed the button for its own destruction".
Syria's information minister said his country would enter the conflict if a major Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon threatened the security of Damascus.
An unarmed UN observer was seriously wounded during fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters in the village of Maroun al-Ras, which Israel said it had taken control of on Saturday.
The French and German foreign ministers are also in Israel for talks on the crisis.
Sidon targeted
Israel's bombing campaign continued, with strikes on Beirut and on southern and eastern Lebanon in the early hours of Sunday.

One target was the southern port of Sidon, a city not previously targeted by Israel, where 42,000 refugees from the surrounding area have flooded in the hope of safety.
The BBC's Roger Hearing in the city reports that a mosque was destroyed in one strike, which hit less than 500m (550 yards) from a hospital. At least four people were injured.
While Israel said the mosque was a meeting place for Hezbollah militants, local doctors insisted it was just "a place for prayers".
Bombing intensifies
The BBC's Jim Muir in the southern city of Tyre reports intense bombardment, with Hezbollah firing missiles from the area and Israel launching air strikes in retaliation.

en | Politics Israel punches into south Lebanon as civilians flee by Nayla Razzouk BEIRUT, July 23, 2006 (AFP) - Israeli troops were holding positions in southern Lebanon Sunday after tanks punched across the border in a new ground incursion against Hezbollah amid mounting concern over the plight of civilians. Striking mobile telephone and television masts, Israel also kept up its devastating air blitz on Lebanon that has killed at least 350 people and displaced over half-a-million in 11 days of military action on the country. General Beni Gantz said Israeli air and ground forces "have more or less completed taking over the village of Marun Al-Ras," close to the Israeli border and strategically located 911 meters (3,000 feet) above sea level. Gantz said Hezbollah forces sustained "many casualties after fierce fighting that lasted a long time." But Lebanese security forces said that Israeli and Hezbollah forces were engaged in street battles in the village, where four Israeli soldiers and several Hezbollah militiamen were killed in battles in recent days. Britain's junior foreign minister openly criticised the Israeli military offensive as "difficult to understand", as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was to visit the region after once again rejecting the idea of a ceasefire. "The whole thing has to stop. It's no natural disaster but a man-made crisis. This is a senseless war. It should never have started. It should never have been carried out like it is now," UN relief coordinator Jan Egeland said in Cyprus before heading to Lebanon. But the White House said Saturday it was keeping to its policy on backing Israel's right to self-defense. "We are keeping to our adopted position. Israel has the right to defend herself," a White House spokesman told AFP in response to the incursion. Earlier, around 10 armoured Israeli personnel carriers and bulldozers punched across the border at Avivim, around 35 kilometres (23 miles) from the coast, bypassing an observation post of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon. The army said the incursion was a "pinpoint operation" and insisted it has no plans for a full-scale invasion despite consistently refusing to rule the option out. Israel urged the remaining people living in south Lebanon to leave and also called up thousands of reservists as it massed troops along its northern border. Meanwhile, one employee of the LBCI television station was killed and another wounded in an Israeli air strike on TV transmission towers and mobile telephone masts at Fatqa, in the Kesrwan mountains northeast of Beirut. Transmission towers for Hezbollah's Al-Manar and the privately run New TV, as well as mobile phone networks, were also destroyed in Terbol in northern Lebanon. Mobile telephone networks were down in the north of Lebanon after the strikes while local television transmission for LBCI was cut in the north and in the Kesrwan mountains, although people could still view the channel on satellite. "The Israelis are looking to destroy sound and image in Lebanon -- the last weapons this country has -- after bombarding infrastructure," said Minister for Telecommunications Marwan Hamadeh. Five civilians were killed and scores were wounded on Saturday in Israeli raids on various locations in Lebanon. The worst cross-border fighting in a quarter century has also killed 33 Israelis. Four civilians were wounded early Sunday in an Israeli strike on a building housing a Hezbollah religious centre in the centre of Sidon, the first attack in the heart of the southern city since the start of the offensive. As tit-for-tat strikes continued, Hezbollah militants kept up a defiant stream of rockets onto northern Israel, with police there saying 80 Katyusha rockets landed on Saturday, lightly wounding two people in Carmiel. Britain's junior foreign office minister Kim Howells made London's most unequivocal criticism yet of Israel's military offensive, in stark contrast to the line taken by Washington and his own prime minister. "These are not surgical strikes. It's very difficult to understand the kind of military tactics that are being used," Howells told journalists during a visit to Beirut. "If they are chasing Hezbollah, then go for Hezbollah. You don't go for the entire Lebanese nation." "I very much hope that the Americans understand what's happening to Lebanon -- the destruction of the infrastructure, the death of so many children and so many people," he said. Egeland was due to arrive in Beirut from Cyprus on Sunday, saying he would be "urging and begging" for some 100 million dollars in aid to help a nation already in the throes of a major humanitarian crisis. Israel said it opened a 50-mile-long and five-mile-wide (80 by eight kilometres) safe passage to the Beirut port for ships and aircraft, a humanitarian corridor to allow aid to the Lebanese. Israel's air and sea blockade put Lebanon's only international airport out of action, and the bombing of houses, roads, bridges, factories, warehouses and trucks created scenes reminiscent of the 1975-1990 civil war. But US President George W. Bush maintained his backing for Israel's campaign against Hezbollah as Rice prepared travel to the region on Sunday in search of what she described as a long-term solution. "I believe sovereign nations have the right to defend their people from terrorist attack, and to take the necessary action to prevent those attacks," Bush said in his weekly radio address. Underlining the repercussions of the Lebanon conflict on the whole region, he said Syria was "a primary sponsor" of Hezbollah and has given the Shiite militia Iranian-made weapons. Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mukdad said Syria is ready to open a "dialogue" with the United States to resolve the crisis in Lebanon. Meanwhile thousands of people around the world bashed drums, brandished placards and chanted slogans to demand an end to Israel's offensive in Lebanon, the biggest rally taking place in London. Foreign governments continued to evacuate their citizens, with Britain urging all remaining nationals wanting to leave to gather for the last evacuation ship that left Saturday. The United States is expediting an arms shipment of precision bombs to Israel from an arms deal struck last year amid the Jewish state's ongoing assault, a US official said Saturday. US marines were in Beirut for the first time in 22 years to help move a total of 10,000 American nationals to Cyprus, the main staging point for the massive evacuation. The island is battling to find temporary accommodation and flights for the estimated 70,000 evacuees at the height of its holiday season. Israel is continuing its offensive on the Gaza Strip, where at least 106 people have been killed in two weeks. It aims to retrieve a soldier snatched by Palestinian militants and to stop rocket fire.-AFP Tweet Advertisement

en | Politics UN says Lebanon in 'major' humanitarian crisis LARNACA, Cyprus, July 22, 2006 (AFP) - UN relief coordinator Jan Egeland said Saturday that Lebanon was suffering a "major" humanitarian crisis and complained of the difficulties of delivering aid to the blockaded country. Egeland, who was in Cyprus on his way to visit Lebanon to launch an emergency aid appeal, also criticised Israel's blistering response to attacks by the Hezbollah militant group as "disproportionate". "We can't get relief into the country in any quantity or distribute it beyond a few points. This is already a very major crisis with more than half a million directly affected," he told reporters. "This number will grow dramatically as the population of south Lebanon has been asked to leave," by the Israeli army. He said the United Nations would be concentrating on setting up humanitarian corridors in the next few days and wanted to use the Cyprus-Beirut shipping route to bring in aid. But he said he also wanted to send aid in by road and by air using Beirut's international airport, which has been shut since the start of the offensive after a succession of Israeli raids. "We are particularly worried about the civilian population in the south so gravely caught in the crossfire," he added. Egeland, who was to be flown to Beirut early Sunday aboard a British military helicopter, said he would be launching an international appeal on Monday "urging and begging" for over 100 million dollars. He also echoed criticism from other UN officials over the Israeli military response, which has already killed over 350 people in Lebanon. The Israeli military response has been "disproportionate, when to my thinking one third of the wounded and killed are women and children, then it clearly goes far beyond responding to armed groups", he said.- AFP Tweet Advertisement

en | A UN mediator urged Israel to "extend its full cooperation" to ensure humanitarian access to civilians trapped in the fighting in Lebanon during a UN Security Council meeting Friday, while the US reiterated its rejection of an immediate cease-fire. "It is urgent that the Israeli government extend its full cooperation by immediately ensuring humanitarian access to those in need," Vijay Nambiar, the head of the mediation team sent by UN chief Kofi Annan to the region last week, told the 15-member council during a debate on the explosive situation in the Middle East.
Nambiar also echoed Annan's appeal before the council Thursday for a "cessation of hostilities" between Israel and Hizbullah in Lebanon.
"This is essential so that captives are protected, humanitarian access is assured, civilian casualties are dramatically reduced, and the political space is opened to negotiate a full and durable cease-fire," he added.
Nambiar, who earlier Friday had a 45-minute private meeting in a New York with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, also stressed the need "to develop quickly the elements of a political framework that would pave the way for a full and durable cease-fire."
The United States' representative to the United Nations John Bolton said that an unconditional cease-fire "would only allow them [Hizbullah] time to regroup and plan their next wave of kidnappings and attacks against Israel."
Bolton said that the US was studying the possibility of the "insertion of an international stabilization force."
Bolton also accused Syria and Iran of backing Hizbullah and Hamas with weapons, financing and political support.
More than 45 speakers were due to take the floor in the day-long debate that came one day after Annan urged the 15-member council to take "firm action" toward ensuring peace and stability in the Middle East.
Jan Egeland, the UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, who announced that he would travel to the region to deal with what he has described as a looming "humanitarian catastrophe" in Lebanon.
"The war, the terror, the attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure has to stop in Lebanon, in northern Israel as it has to stop in Gaza. Too many children, women, elderly and other civilians have already lost their lives," Egeland said.
Earlier Friday, Israel ruled out an immediate cease-fire with Hizbullah but indicated it was willing to negotiate a solution to the Lebanon crisis with the United Nations and Washington.
"It is lamentable that UN Secretary General Kofi Annan thought it necessary to draw a balance between Israel and Hizbullah when the UN itself recognizes that this is a terrorist movement violating its resolutions," Israel's representative to the UN, Dan Gillerman, told Public Radio. - Agencies | en | More than half a million people have been displaced in Lebanon as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continues into its second week.

en | BEIRUT: UNIFIL is planning to evacuate civilians from the Lebanese-Israeli border in the coming days, but "the ability to move will depend on the situation on the ground," according to a press release issued by UNIFIL on Friday. A source at the UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura said residents trapped in border villages should call the aid station in Marjayoun at 07-830 351 or 07-830 050 for more information, but emphasized that the operation would take time given the number of evacuees and continued Israeli fire.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in targeted areas is growing worse as the number of displaced passed 900,000 on Friday - with 39,500 in Beirut alone - and rescue workers were prevented from reaching stranded villages with vital supplies.
The Higher Relief Committee said it urgently needs food products such as milk, rice, sugar and canned meat; diapers and kitchen tools; medicine such as insulin, painkillers, antibiotics and chlorine to clean water; sterilized gloves; refrigerators to store medicine; tents; electrical generators of 5, 10, 20 and 30 kva; blankets and other necessities.
Concerned parties were urged to donate by depositing in the committee's account at the Central Bank. The account number is 760051114.
The mayor of the Tyre town of Bergholieh said Friday that thousands of civilians in Tyre were stranded and were in dire need of medical assistance, water and food, while the village of Blida in Marjayoun made a similar plea.
"There are people dying because we can't use the roads to deliver medication, and the same is happening with food," said Kasim Chalin from the Red Cross center in Tyre.
"People are calling us - women, old people, children - and we can't do anything because the road is closed and bombed out, we're even trying to make roads to go from village to village," he said, adding that at least one paramedic has been wounded and an ambulance damaged by Israeli strikes.
Chalin said the Red Cross evacuated 23 patients to Beirut from the Jabal Amal hospital in Tyre on Thursday to make room for more patients, denying reports that the hospital had sustained a direct hit.
Health Minister Mohammed Khalifeh confirmed that the Red Cross and the ministry were transferring patients to Beirut and said that 34 patients had been moved.
"We have to evacuate casualties to Beirut to Rafik Hariri University Hospital and this has been a big relief for hospitals on the front lines," he said.
Khalife also said that hospitals in the South were starting to suffer supply shortages, but that the ministry was able to send a few vital provisions Friday "with great difficulty."
The minister seemed wary of fueling panic over the capacity and capability of hospitals in the South, but suggested that their condition could worsen if no progress were made toward a cease-fire.
"They [the hospitals] are definitely not working under the best conditions," he said, "We have to press ahead asking the international community to pressure Israel not to target civilians and to allow in supplies."
UN relief agencies on Friday called for safe passage for humanitarian supplies, warning that overcrowded refugee centers and hospitals were vulnerable to disease and urging Israel not to attack trucks ready to take in water purification and sanitation supplies.
"The key problem is access," said UNICEF spokeswoman Wilvina Belmonte. "Children are bearing the brunt of the hostilities and we have to be allowed to help them get through this crisis."
She said one-third of the Lebanese dead so far were children, and they accounted for nearly half of those displaced, especially from the mountain regions where Hizbullah has a strong presence and which have been especially hard-hit.
Israel said on Thursday it was trying to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid to Lebanon.
The Swiss-based International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had sent two trucks early on Friday with supplies to Tyre. - With agencies | en | More than half a million people have been displaced in Lebanon as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continues into its second week.

Trio target top ten
(FIFA.com) 18 May 2005
Argentina's match with Ecuador and their showdown against leaders Brazil may give them the opportunity to climb into second place and to cut the Brazilians' lead. In Europe, all eyes will be on Greece, Sweden and Turkey, the teams currently occupying places 12 to 14, as all three hold hopes of joining the top 10 elite. The eagerly anticipated clash between the European champions and their Aegean neighbours in Piraeus on 8 June and Sweden's World Cup qualifier against Malta could prove to be decisive.
In this month's ranking, Mexico (7th, up 1), trade places with Spain (8th, down 1). Zimbabwe (57th, up 5) gain ground on the back of two victories in friendly matches, but the majority of changes are a direct result of a devaluation of past results. According to the index rating, which takes account of the teams' strength in addition to the number of points gained during the year, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Cuba, Ecuador and Sudan are currently the teams vying for the Mover of the Year title. However, the months ahead should also result in significant changes in this race. While approximately 100 matches in March and April gave rise to new calculations and countless changes in the table, the latest edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking is simply indicative of the calm before the storm set to strike in June and July, with dozens of World Cup qualifiers, the FIFA Confederations Cup and the CONCACAF Gold Cup all on the agenda.Argentina's match with Ecuador and their showdown against leaders Brazil may give them the opportunity to climb into second place and to cut the Brazilians' lead.

es | La apuesta le ha salido bien a Shinzo Abe. El primer ministro conservador se convertirá en el más duradero de la historia japonesa y contará con una súper mayoría absoluta en la Cámara Baja que le permitirá abrir el camino para una reforma de la Constitución pacifista. Así lo dan por seguro los medios nipones y sus encuestas a pie de urna tras las elecciones legislativas anticipadas celebradas este domingo.
No ha habido sorpresas. Como se esperaba, Abe, que convocó los comicios el mes pasado —más de un año antes de lo previsto— para aprovechar las divisiones en la oposición, ha superado con facilidad el desafío que presentaban sus rivales. Según la encuesta a pie de urna de la televisión TBS, el Partido Liberal Demócrata (PLD) del primer ministro y su aliado Nuevo Komeito logran 311 escaños, del total de 465 con que cuenta la Cámara Baja.
En cambio, el Partido de la Esperanza (Kibo no To), que al comienzo de la campaña electoral parecía que podría representar una alternativa seria al dominio del PLD, ha confirmado el desencanto que los votantes mostraban en las encuestas previas a la jornada electoral: únicamente conseguirá 50 escaños. En el campo progresista, el Partido Constitucional Demócrata lograba unos resultados mejores de lo esperado, aunque aún a mucha distancia de la formación en el Gobierno.
La participación se vio perjudicada por el fuerte temporal que este domingo azotó Japón. Decenas de miles de ciudadanos fueron evacuados y centenares de vuelos suspendidos debido a la proximidad del tifón Lan. | es | Los resultados se conocerán el lunes, sin embargo, diversos sondeos dan la victoria en las al (PLD) del primer ministro, . Según las proyecciones, el PLD alcanzaría entre 253 y 300 escaños de los 465 que conforman la de Japón. El mes pasado, un año antes de lo previsto, Abe convocó elecciones en la búsqueda de un nuevo mandato que le permitiera superar la que calificó de "crisis nacional".
El aliado del PLD, el partido , obtendrá entre 27 y 36 diputados, para un total superior a los 310 diputados. Con esa cifra, ambos partidos controlarían dos tercios de la cámara y superarían la meta mínima que Abe se había fijado. El principal partido opositor, el , llegaría a entre 44 y 67 escaños. Por su parte, el , de la gobernadora de Tokio, , quedó en tercera posición.
Con esta victoria, Abe permanecerá en el cargo hasta el 2021, convirtiéndose en el jefe de Gobierno con más tiempo en el cargo desde el fin de la . La participación, que llegó al 52%, se vio afectada por los efectos del tifón Lan. A la par de los comicios, las autoridades evacuaron 5000 viviendas en el país. El amplio margen le concede a Abe la capacidad de mantener su política dura contra Corea del Norte, la razón por la que convocó elecciones anticipadas. Al agradecer su reelección, el primer ministro indicó que actuará "con firmeza" frente al . |
es | También quiere que la reforma permita introducir la educación gratuita, un empeño en el que tendría menos dificultades a la hora de recabar apoyos Cinco claves de las elecciones en Japón
Los más de 100 millones de votantes convocados hoy a las elecciones legislativas de Japón parecen predispuestos a otorgar una nueva victoria al primer ministro japonés Shinzo Abe, según apuntan todas las encuestas.
Los sondeos tan sólo difieren en el margen de ese triunfo. Algunas apuntan a una victoria que le aseguraría la mayoría de dos tercios que requiere para poder acometer la reforma constitucional que busca desde hace años.
Las consultas de diarios como 'Mainichi' o 'Sankei' indican que la alianza del Partido Liberal Democrático (PLD) que lidera Abe y su aliado Komeito superará sin problemas el margen de 310 escaños de los 465 que componen el Congreso, aunque 'Nikkei' indicaba lo contrario.
El jefe del ejecutivo cerró su campaña con varios discursos centrados en Corea del Norte, el mismo elemento que ha utilizado de forma repetida como eje de sus alocuciones y que semeja haber surtido un notable efecto a la hora de recuperar la confianza de los votantes.
"No podemos ceder ante la amenaza de Corea del Norte. Nos hace falta una diplomacia fuerte", señaló en una de esas intervenciones.
Como explicaba 'Nikkei' y el diario 'The Asahi Shimbun', los miembros del PLD están tan confiados en un triunfo arrollador que ya han preparado una propuesta de remodelación de la Carta Magna y en especial del sensible artículo 9, que podrían presentar a la cámara en los próximos meses.
'The Asahi Shimbun' asegura que Abe pretende que el elemento "pacifista" que conlleva la renuncia a la guerra que contempla el artículo 9 sea contrarrestado con la inclusión en el texto constitucional de una definición clara de la existencia de las llamadas Fuerzas de Auto-Defensa (SDF), el ejército japonés.
El citado artículo estipula que Japón no puede "mantener fuerzas armadas terrestres, marítimas o aéreas, y otro potencial bélico" y esa terminología ha llevado a que políticos izquierdistas hayan calificado a las SDF como "inconstitucionales".
"El objetivo de Abe es que una constitución revisada entre en ejercicio en 2020", apuntó 'Nikkei'.
Desde que expresó su deseo de revisar el texto constitucional en 2007 -durante su primer mandato como jefe del gabinete-, Abe no ha escondido su determinación por eliminar las restricciones del artículo 9 y permitir una interpretación flexible sobre el cometido del SDF. El primer ministro cuenta con el apoyo decidido de lobbies tan influyentes como Nippon Kaigi, una agrupación ultra nacionalista que no cesa de promover la necesidad de enterrar la constitución de 1947, impuesta por EEUU.
Incluso si se consuma su victoria, la revisión constitucional requeriría una compleja negociación ya que no es totalmente seguro el apoyo de Komeito.
Además, cualquier iniciativa parlamentaria tendría que ser secundada por el electorado en un referéndum y todos los sondeos indican que la población japonesa se opone a disociarse del "pacifismo" que ha dominado la política del país desde la última contienda mundial.
Abe también quiere que la reforma constitucional permita introducir la educación gratuita, un empeño en el que tendría menos dificultades a la hora de recabar sostén de otros grupos políticos.
Pese a las obvias reticencias de la población japonesa frente al ideario del primer ministro, lo cierto es que con la oposición sumida en el más absoluto caos, dividida entre un Partido Democrático (PD) al borde de la disolución, y nuevas formaciones como el Partido de la Esperanza de la gobernadora Yuriko Koike, y el Partido Constitucional Democrático creado por una facción escindida del PD, el electorado parece haber optado por la estabilidad que personifica Abe.
El colapso acelerado de la formación establecida por Koike es tal que tras presentarse hace sólo semanas como una posible alternativa a Abe ahora ni siquiera puede asegurar su victoria en la capital, el mismo escenario en el que aplastó al PLD en los sufragios locales de julio.
"La fragmentación de la oposición en la mayoría de los distritos electorales ha sido un salvavidas para los candidatos del PLD, incluso para aquellos dentro del partido que pensaban que iban a pasar un momento difícil en las urnas", estimó el diario Manichi en un análisis de las encuestas.
Si la votación confirma este vaticinio, Abe también reforzaría sus opciones para ser refrendado como máximo dirigente del PLD durante la convención de esa formación que se celebrará en septiembre de 2018, lo que le podría convertir en el primer ministro que más tiempo ha permanecido en su puesto desde el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. | es | Los resultados se conocerán el lunes, sin embargo, diversos sondeos dan la victoria en las al (PLD) del primer ministro, .

en | Kuba bietet USA Hilfe an Havanna/Caracas - Angesichts der chaotischen Zustände in den Hurrikan-Gebieten haben die USA Hilfsangebote von ungeliebter Seite bekommen: Die beiden verfeindeten Staaten Kuba und Venezuela erklärten sich zur Entsendung medizinischer Hilfe an. (rr /sda )
Fidel Castro: «Kuba ist bereit zu helfen.»
Service
Der kubanische Staatschef Fidel Castro sagte in einer vom Radio und und Fernsehen übertragenen Ansprache, insgesamt könnten 1100 Ärzte mit 26,4 Tonnen Medikamenten in die USA entsandt werden. Die ersten hundert Mediziner sollten noch am Freitag (Ortszeit) nach Houston im US-Bundesstaat Texas geflogen werden. Jeweils 500 weitere sollten am Samstag und am Sonntag folgen. «Kuba ist bereit, sofort zu helfen. Wir bieten ganz konkrete Dinge an, Ärzte am Ort der Tragödie, was genau das ist, woran es im Moment fehlt», sagte Castro. Hilfsgelder von Venezuela Venezuela bot den USA Hilfsgelder in Höhe von einer Million Dollar an. Zudem könnten 120 spezialisierte Rettungskräfte entsandt werden, ebenso wie zwei medizinische Notfallteams, die in der Lage seien, jeweils 150 Menschen zu behandeln, hiess es in Caracas. Daneben stünden zehn Wasserreiniger, acht Stromgeneratoren, 20 Tonnen Wasser, 50 Tonnen Lebensmittel und 5000 Decken zur Verfügung. Das Angebot an die Gouverneurin von Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, sei in einer offiziellen diplomatischen Note an die US-Botschaft ergangen. Die USA sind mit Kuba seit Jahrzehnten und mit Venezuela seit dem Amtsantritt des linksgerichteten venezolanischen Präsidenten Hugo Chávez 1999 verfeindet. | de | Fidel Castro
Kubas Staatschef Fidel Castro hat den USA medizinische Hilfe für die Opfer des Hurrikans „Katrina“ angeboten. Die Lieferung von Lebensmitteln und Medikamenten sei trotz dem von den USA verhängten Wirtschaftsembargo gegen Kuba an keinerlei Bedingungen geknüpft, betonte Castro. Angesichts der Katastrophe müssten die beiden Länder ihren Streit unterbrechen und zur Rettung von Leben zusammenarbeiten.
Bis zu 1.100 Ärzte könnten binnen zwei Tagen bereitgestellt werden und „in einer Stunde und 50 Minuten könnte eines unserer Flugzeuge auf dem nächstgelegenen internationalen Flughafen gelandet sein“, so Fidel Castro. |
es | Con goles del argentino Ismael Blanco y del uruguayo Brahian Alemán, Barcelona se tomó la revancha y derrotó este domingo por 2-0 a Emelec en el Clásico del Astillero.
Los toreros pusieron fin a la mala racha. Y lo hicieron frente a su archirrival que el próximo jueves visita Medellín para enfrentar a Atlético Nacional en la definición de los octavos de final de la Copa Libertadores.
Las tres derrotas consecutivas (frente a Liga de Quito, como local y visitante; y ante Deportivo Cuenca) tenían bajo una fuerte presión a la escuadra que dirige Rubén Israel.
Los toreros abrieron el marcador en el minuto 20 por intermedio de Ismael Blanco.
De una gran asistencia de Brahian Alemán, el argentino la paró con el pecho, se acomodó dentro del área y definió cruzado.
La fórmula de los amarillos funcionó. El pase de Alemán a Blanco fue a espaldas de los defensores azules, que hoy alinearon con José Luis Quiñónez y Jorge Guagua; Gabriel Achilier fue reservado para el compromiso de la Copa.
Emelec tuvo chances de anotar a los 5m. Un tiro de esquina ejecutado por Miler Bolaños lo pescó Guagua y su potente disparo fue detenido por Damián Lanza.
A los 32m, Miler llegó hasta el borde del área y luego sacó un remate cruzado que pasó muy cerca del poste izquierdo de Lanza.
La ausencia de Ángel Mena, quien no fue convocado para el Clásico, pesó mucho en el juego ofensivo del Bombillo. Por el sector derecho, el juvenil Villamar no generó peligro durante los 45 minutos que estuvo en el campo. En el segundo tiempo el DT azul, Omar De Felippe, dio paso a Fernando Gaibor, quien tuvo una opción manifiesta de gol enviando un disparo muy arriba.
En la etapa de complemento el control del esférico y de las acciones lo tuvo Emelec, pero sobre el final el bloque defensivo no pudo contener una incursión del uruguayo Alemán. Los canarios apelaron al contragolpe y a los 85m acertaron.
Alemán ingresó al área, superó sin problemas la marca de Bagüí y luego dejó en el camino a José Luis Quiñónez para definir hacia el poste izquierdo de Dreer.
En Barcelona la principal novedad fue la continuidad del arquero Damián Lanza, y la inclusión de Flavio Caicedo, a los 73m.
Antes de finalizar el Clásico, el torero Pedro Velasco vio la tarjeta roja luego de un encontronazo con Emanuel Herrera, quien se quejó de un golpe en el rostro.
Tras el 2-0, los millonarios darán vuelta a la página para enfocarse en el choque frente a Atlético Nacional, rival colombiano contra el que deben definir la serie de los octavos de final.
A Medellín, Emelec llegará con una ventaja de 2-0 obtenida el pasado jueves en Manta.

es | A Independiente del Valle le bastó los diez primeros minutos del partido para adelantarse en el marcador y ganarle 0-2 a Liga de Loja en su visita al estadio Reina del Cisne.
A minuto 1, el cuadro sangolquileño se adelantó en el marcador a través del uruguayo William Ferreira quien aprovechó una serie de rebotes dentro del área lojana tras un tiro de esquina ejecutado por Bryan Cabezas.
Ferreira solamente empujó el balón adentro del arco para ponerse en ventaja 1-0.
Liga de Loja le costó reaccionar y a los 9 minutos, Daniel Angulo marcó la segunda luego de recibir un centro preciso de Bryan Cabezas. El portero del cuadro lojano, Robinson Sánchez, dio un rebote en el primer cabezazo de Angulo quien luego remató al fondo de las redes.
En la segunda parte, los cambios realizados por el técnico argentino, Julio César Toresani, no surtieron efecto en la escuadra lojana.
Independiente del Valle bajó las revoluciones ofensivas y se dedicó a rotar el balón en la cancha hasta el final del partido.
Con este resultado el cuadro dirigido por Pablo Repetto escolta al líder, Liga de Quito, con similar puntaje 34 pero con 11 de gol diferencia, tres menos que los quiteños. Mientras que Liga de Loja se estanca en la séptima casilla con 19 puntos y -7 de gol diferencia.

es | River Ecuador cayó por 2-3 ante el motivado Deportivo Cuenca, este sábado en el estadio Christian Benítez, en el marco de la fecha 17 del Campeonato Ecuatoriano.
El conjunto morlaco abrió el marcador en el minuto 12 por intermedio de Silvio Gutiérrez; a los 40m, Andrés Oña permitió que la visita se vaya al descanso con un 0-2 cómodo.
Ante las facilidades que ofreció el bloque defensivo, e incluso el arquero Molina, Dep. Cuenca dio el golpe sin atenuantes.
Luis Bolaños, desde el sector derecho, envió un centro al corazón del área; Gutiérrez, sin marca y muy bien ubicado, conectó el balón en dos tiempos y venció a Molina.
El segundo tanto llegó de una pelota parada. Un tiro libre pegó en el vertical, Molina trastabilló y Oña sólo tuvo que empujar el esférico para firmar el 0-2 parcial.
Aunque River sí tuvo oportunidades de descontar en el marcador. A los 22, el paraguayo Manuel Maciel estrelló un cabezazo en el horizontal. Y antes de finalizar el primer tiempo, Emanuel Serra y Christian Cruz hicieron trabajar al guardameta Martínez, ex-River.
Tras una jugada individual y combinación con Maciel, el argentino remató incómodo y Martínez despejó el balón al córner. A minuto seguido, Cruz sacó un disparo frontal, pero mejor fue la respuesta del arquero del Cuenca.
Los goles de 'La Fuerza Roja' llegaron en el segundo tiempo. Danny Luna (73m) y Daniel Neculman (79m) levantaron a River.
Parecía que los pupilos de Humberto Pizarro no iban a permitir que los puntos se escapen de casa, pero tres minutos después Bryan Oña fulminó las aspiraciones del rival rompiendo la trampa del offside y definiendo ante la salida de 'Tranca' Molina.
Desde el arribo de Álex Aguinaga al banquillo, Deportivo Cuenca se mantiene invicto y ha escapado de la zona del descenso; suma 17 puntos (-11).

es | El invicto y líder del campeonato nacional, Liga de Quito se impuso por 3-1 a Deportivo Quito, la noche de este sábado en el estadio Casa Blanca.
Aunque no era superior por lo cerrado que empezó el clásico quiteño, Liga (Q) abrió el marcador a los 39 minutos con un frentazo del atacante Narciso Mina.
El centro limpio de Diego Morales desde el sector derecho fue muy bien conectado por el goleador albo, que hoy registra 8 dianas en el torneo.
La segunda anotación se produjo desde la vía del penal. A los 57m Hólger Matamoros fue derribado dentro del área por Eddie Guevara y el juez no dudó en determinar la sanción. 'Chicharra' se encargó del cobró y con un potente disparo a la esquina venció al golero Ramos.
La goleada la firmó el argentino Diego 'Cachete' Morales a los 71m, tras diseñar una jugada individual que finalizó con un sutil toque para mandar el balón a las redes.
Pero el uruguayo Julián Lalinde incentivó al equipo de la Plaza del Teatro con el tanto del descuento. A los 82m el charrúa recibió un centro en el área y cabeceó a las redes.

es | Jorge Yunda se salvó de renunciar a la presidencia de El Nacional. A inicios de la semana pasada dijo que si su equipo perdía ante Aucas y el DT Octavio Zambrano no daba un paso al costado, él iba a dejar el cargo. Criollos e indios igualaron a 1, ayer, en el estadio Olímpico Atahualpa.
El titular de los militares también dejó entrever que, por lo menos esta semana, no pedirá la renuncia del entrenador, ya que con el empate ascendieron al séptimo puesto.
“¿Y por qué no debería seguir si acabamos de salir del octavo lugar?”, respondió Yunda, al ser consultado si Zambrano continuará en su trabajo.
Luego, aseguró no haber dialogado con nadie para ofrecerle la dirección técnica del equipo, esto pese a que Juan Garay y Paúl Vélez contaron sobre un acercamiento. Mas, sentenció que si los resultados no se dan, pediría la renuncia así sea su padre el que esté en esa labor.
El juego de ayer se definió en dos jugadas inesperadas. Juan Marcarié abrió la cuenta para Aucas (31m), tras aprovechar un yerro de Marco Montaño quien intentó salir con el balón dominado, pero el argentino le quitó y venció al golero Adrián Bone. El empate se dio luego de un remate de Alejandro Villalva, que rozó en Cristhian Hurtado y desubicó a Sebastián Blázquez (46m).
Aucas no ha perdido en las últimas cuatro fechas, pero sigue en el fondo de la tabla. (D)

null | Independiente del Valle derrotó 2-0 a Liga de Loja, en el estadio Reina del Cisne, en el partido que abrió la fecha 17 del Campeonato ecuatoriano de fútbol. Los 'rayados', que se encontraron con un gol al inicio del cotejo, controlaron las acciones hasta el final del juego.
Los visitantes sorprendieron en el primer minuto con el gol de William Ferreira (1-0). Después de eso, los 'negriazules' se adueñaron de la pelota y priorizaron los ataques por los costados. Fue así que desde la zona izquierda salió un pase que el goleador Daniel Angulo resolvió con autoridad, al interior del área, para aumentar la cuenta a los 9 minutos.
Luego de eso los locales reaccionaron, sobre todo con lanzamientos desde fuera del área. Fabio Renato y Juan Caffa ensayaron remates que obligaron al guardameta Librado Azcona a estirarse.
Liga de Loja empezó a tener más tiempo la pelota, pero no generó mayor peligro en el arco rival.
En Liga (L) ingresaron, en el segundo tiempo, el argentino Facundo Callejo y el juvenil Ánderson Naula. Con ambos jugadores en la cancha, los locales atacaron con más peligrosidad. Naula, quien se destacó en la selección Sub 17, sobresalió por su velocidad.
Al final del partido, los lojanos remataron 18 veces al arco. Independiente, a su vez, pateó en ocho ocasiones según las estadísticas de la Federación Ecuatoriana de Fútbol (FEF).
Los 'rayados' del valle continúan segundos en la clasificación, con 34 puntos. Liga de Quito tiene ese mismo puntaje, pero un mejor gol diferencia.
El club austral, en cambio, se quedó con 19 puntos.
Los jugadores del uruguayo Pablo Repetto cumplieron con el objetivo de conseguir un triunfo para no alejarse del puntero del torneo. La principal novedad fue la reaparición del delantero Daniel Angulo, quien cumplió un partido de suspensión. El ariete esmeraldeño es el goleador del club con ocho tantos.
El cotejo fue arbitrado por Juan Albarracín.

fr | Les discussions entre les joueurs et les propriétaires se sont poursuivies en soirée, mardi, et devaient reprendre mercredi matin.
Le conseiller de l'Association des joueurs (AJLNH), Steve Fehr, a qualifié les discussions de constructives et que c'était « peut-être notre meilleure journée jusqu'à maintenant ».
Il a tout de même ajouté qu'il restait encore beaucoup de travail à faire avant d'en arriver à une entente.
De son côté, le commissaire adjoint de la LNH, Bill Daly, a remercié les joueurs pour leurs efforts. « Je pense que tout le monde veut en arriver à une entente, a-t-il dit, alors je crois que c'est encourageant. »
Fait à souligner, Daly et Steve Fehr ont rencontré la presse ensemble avant de prendre congé pour la nuit.
Une première rencontre en après-midi
Un groupe de 18 joueurs et 6 propriétaires se sont rencontrés pendant plus de cinq heures mardi après-midi derrière les portes d'un hôtel de Manhattan, et les discussions ont repris vers 22 h après la pause du souper.
Les échos ont fait état d'un climat positif entre les parties et les observateurs affichent un optimisme prudent pour la suite des discussions, mercredi matin, avant la rencontre des gouverneurs à 11 h.
On a plus tôt indiqué que les deux parties alternaient entre de petits et de plus gros groupes lors des différentes séances de la journée.
Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Ryan Miller, Shane Doan et Mike Cammalleri, entre autres, représentaient l'Association des joueurs.
Ils étaient assis à la même table que six propriétaires de la ligue : Mark Chipman (Winnipeg), Murray Edwards (Calgary), Larry Tanenbaum (Toronto), Jeff Vinik (Tampa Bay), Ron Burkle (Pittsburgh) et Jeremy Jacobs (Boston).
Selon des sources, Crosby et Ron Burkle ont été deux des membres les plus engagés dans les discussions.
Ni le commissaire Gary Bettman ni le directeur de l'Association des joueurs, Donald Fehr, n'étaient présents à la rencontre.
On espérait qu'un changement à la table de négociations insuffle une nouvelle dynamique au processus. L'idée de cette réunion a été proposée par Bettman après l'échec de deux jours de médiation la semaine dernière.
Voici les joueurs qui prenaient part à la rencontre :
Craig Adams (Pittsburgh)
David Backes (St Louis)
Michael Cammalleri (Calgary)
Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh)
B.J. Crombeen (Tampa Bay)
Mathieu Darche (agent libre)
Shane Doan (Phoenix)
Ron Hainsey (Winnipeg)
Shawn Horcoff (Edmonton)
Jamal Mayers (Chicago)
Manny Malhotra (Vancouver)
Andy McDonald (St Louis)
Ryan Miller (Buffalo)
George Parros (Floride)
Brad Richards (Rangers de New York)
Martin St. Louis (Tampa Bay)
Jonathan Toews (Chicago)
Kevin Westgarth (Los Angeles)
La LNH avait déjà soumis sa liste de six représentants dimanche. De ce nombre, seuls Jeremy Jacobs (Boston) et Larry Tannenbaum (Toronto) n'affrontent pas des joueurs de leur propre équipe.
Le Canadien ne participe donc pas aux discussions, d'un côté comme de l'autre.

en | WASHINGTON The Secret Secret gave an all-clear and allowed members of the press and other employees back into buildings near the White House who were evacuated Monday after a bomb-sniffing police dog signaled it smelled something suspicious in a minivan.
The buildings included were the White House Conference Center and buildings surrounding Blair House — where Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is staying as he prepares for a meeting with President Bush on Tuesday.
The vehicle that was being inspected was parked in front of Lafayette Park, across from the White House, and was said to be part of Olmert's delegation. Police shut off traffic on nearby streets as they investigated the situation, which lasted about 90 minutes.
Members of the press who were standing outside of the executive mansion were also asked to leave the White House grounds, though staff and President Bush are in the building ahead of a celebration with NCAA winning teams.
U.S. officials said D.C. Metro Police were using an abundance of caution in calling in an explosives and ordnance team after what is reportedly a bomb scare. A robot also was expected to inspect the vehicle.
Olmert had just arrived in Washington, D.C., for a stay at Blair House, where foreign dignitaries often reside while visiting the president. Olmert is in town for talks with U.S. officials on the recent dissolution of the Palestinian government, and security has been heightened because of his visit. His vehicle motorcade remained outside Blair House while the evacuation occurred.

en | WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Secret Service evacuated the temporary press center across the street from the White House on Monday after a dog got a "suspicious hit" on an Israeli vehicle entering the secured area around the White House, according to a Secret Service spokeswoman.
The Israeli vehicle was arriving ahead of Tuesday's meeting between President Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
The area was given the "all clear" about an hour and 40 minutes after the 2:50 p.m. incident.
Secret Service spokeswoman Kim Bruce told CNN the service evacuated the area, including Lafayette Park, Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House and the press center at Jackson Square, "out of an abundance of caution," but the White House itself was not evacuated.
"The president's schedule has not been affected," she said.
The press is temporarily quartered at Jackson Square during renovations in the White House's West Wing.
Because of Olmert's visit, security in the area was already very high. The prime minister will be staying at Blair House, the president's official guest residence across the street from the West Wing and adjacent to Lafayette Park.

DANCE-URGESTEIN
Techno-DJ Mark Spoon tot aufgefunden
Markus Löffel alias Mark Spoon ist im Alter von 39 Jahren tot aufgefunden worden. Löffel gehörte zu den bekanntesten und renommiertesten deutschen Techno-DJs und Produzenten. Mit dem DJ-Duo Jam & Spoon feierte er vor allem in den neunziger Jahren Erfolge.
Berlin/Frankfurt - Der aus Frankfurt stammende Techno- Discjockey und Musikproduzent Mark Spoon, der mit bürgerlichem Namen Markus Löffel hieß, sei am Morgen tot in seiner Berliner Wohnung gefunden worden, teilte die Plattenfirma Universal Music heute mit. Nähere Umstände seines Todes konnte das Unternehmen nicht nennen. Gemutmaßt wird über einen Herzinfarkt.
Techno-Duo Jam & Spoon, Musiker Löffel (vorne): Trends vorweg genommen
Einer der ersten Jam-&-Spoon-Hits, das von Plavka gesungene "Right in the Night" nahm 1993 Trends vorweg, die erst Jahre später in der Clubszene zum Tragen kamen. Das zugehörige Album "Tripomatic Fairytales 2001" sowie das nachfolgende "Tripomatic Fairytales 2002" gehören zu den Klassikern des Mainstream-tauglichen Clubsounds. Mit "Tripomatic Fairytales 3003" veröffentlichten die beiden DJs zuletzt ein Album voller tanztauglicher, sphärischer Popsongs zu denen Stars wie Jim Kerr (Simple Minds), Xavier Naidoo oder Dolores O'Riordan (Cranberries) den Gesang beisteuerten.
Markus Löffel, der die Techno-Fans auch auf der Love Parade immer wieder mit furiosen Sets beglückte, gilt neben Szene-Größen wie Sven Väth und Westbam zum Urgestein der neueren deutschen Dance-Musik. Auch mit seinem Soloprojekt Storm sowie mit zahlreichen Remixen für bekannte Techno-Größen und Pop-Künstler machte Mark Spoon in den letzten Jahren auf sich aufmerksam. Seinen letzten öffentlichen Auftritt hatte er im letzten Jahr in Hannover, als ihm der deutsche Dance Award verliehen wurde.

de | 02.12.2008 18:45 Hauptgasleitung bei Renovierung von Innsbrucker Museum angebohrt Die Situation wurde als sehr gefährlich eingestuft, da sich das Gas nicht abdrehen lässt. 120 Volksscüler mussten dasn angrenzende Gebäude verlassen. Foto: APA Bei Renovierungsarbeiten des Volkskunstmuseums in der Innsbrucker Innenstadt ist am Mittwoch die Hauptgasleitung angebohrt worden. Die Situation wurde als sehr gefährlich eingestuft, da sich das Gas nicht abdrehen lässt. Nach ersten Informationen der Polizei wurde der Bereich für den Verkehr gesperrt und das Volkskunstmuseum evakuiert.
Volksschule wurde evakuiert. Eine Baufirma wurde mit Grabungen beauftragt, um das Leck zu stopfen. Es könnte mehrere Stunden dauern, bis das Problem behoben werden kann. Eine an das Volkskunstmuseum angrenzende Volksschule und das angeschlossene Tagesheim musste evakuiert werden. Etwa 120 Volksschüler wurden ins Akademische Gymnasium gebracht. Außerdem von der Evakuierung betroffen war die Theologische Fakultät der Universität Innsbruck und die Schwarzmander Kirche. Insgesamt mussten 157 Personen aus dem Gefahrenbereich gebracht werden. Verletzt wurde vorerst niemand.
Explosionsgefahr. Die Explosionsgefahr sei aber nach wie vor gegeben, hieß es bei der Polizei. Deshalb wurde auch der Strom in mehreren umliegenden Gebäuden abgeschalten. Der Großalarm im Volkskunstmuseum wurde gegen 15.30 Uhr ausgelöst. Die Bauarbeiter waren gerade damit beschäftigt, eine Abwasserleitung vom Keller des Museums nach außen zu verlegen. Dabei wurde aus Versehen die Hauptgasleitung angebohrt.Im Gebäude habe sich ein "hochexplosives Gasluftgemisch" befunden, sagte Josef Hundsbichler, Einsatzleiter der Feuerwehr. Besucher befanden sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt keine im Museum, da es wegen der Renovierung geschlossen wurde.
Arbeiten. Um das Leck in der Gasleitung zu flicken, musste die Straße in der Innsbrucker Angerzellgasse aufgraben werden. Das Loch in der Leitung werde dann abgedichtet und am nächsten Tag werde das Rohr komplett ausgetauscht, erklärte Hundsbichler. Bis das Leck abgedichtet sei, ströme weiterhin Gas aus. Er rechne damit, dass die Arbeiten in der nächsten halben Stunde abgeschlossen werden können. Drucken Versenden Zurück Mehr Chronik Angriff auf deutsches Kreuzfahrtschif... 2.

They are in "serious condition but seem to be improving," said Hariadi Wibisono, a senior health ministry official. They are being treated in the designated bird flu hospital, Sulianti Suroso in eastern Jakarta. It is believed that both women had contact with infected poultry. This brings Indonesia's number of confirmed cases of the virus to 25.
A 26 year old female farmer in Fujian, China whose surname is ''Lin'', also has the deadly H5N1 virus. She was admitted to the hospital in January, but it was only confirmed on Wednesday that she had the virus. Some of the people that have come in close contact with the woman are under observation by local health officials. Her current condition is reported as stable. This is China's eleventh confirmed case of the virus.
Julie Hall of the Beijing-based World Health Organization said that the latest patient was "highly likely to have had contact with sick animals," but the WHO is still waiting for information on how she could have gotten the disease.
Some experts believe migrating birds from China's Qinghai Lake nature reserve are spreading the virus; however, there others who believe it's shipments of poultry and poultry products along with poultry manure.
As avian influenza confirmed in Nigeria, "We shouldn't assume that is just in Nigeria" said David Nabarro, the United Nations' coordinator for bird flu and pandemic influenza. "The outbreak in Nigeria means we have another central point for the virus to become embedded into the poultry population."
About 20 countries have reported outbreaks of the virus in birds which has sickened people who come in contact with the infected birds. If the rate of human infection continues to increase, so does the chance the virus will change into a form easily transmitted by humans. |

China investigates 11th human case of bird flu
BEIJING (AFX) - China is investigating the cause of its 11th confirmed human bird flu case while pressing on with efforts to stamp out the country's latest outbreak among poultry.
A 26-year-old woman, surnamed Lin, from the eastern province of Fujian tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain after being hospitalised with fever and pneumonia on Jan 10, the health ministry said in a statement.
'After medical treatment, the patient's condition is currently stable,' the statement said, according to Agence France-Presse. Bird flu has killed seven people in China.
Like most of the other human cases detected in China, no outbreak among animals was detected in Zhangpu county where Lin lived, emphasising the extent of the problem in the country and the inability of authorities to effectively monitor the disease.
'What we've seen in quite a number of other cases in China is that the Ministry of Agriculture has not been able to identify viruses in the animals in that area,' said Julie Hall, a Beijing-based World Health Organisation expert.
'But there certainly have been reports from the health authorities and patients themselves that animals in their areas have been dying and have been sick for some weeks prior to their onset of their illness.'
She said the latest bird flu patient was highly likely to have had contact with sick animals, although the WHO was still awaiting information about what caused the disease.
'We're not surprised,' Hall said.
'We believe the virus is endemic in parts of China and certainly endemic in the wild birds. Many poultry flocks in China remain vulnerable to infections.'

Subscriptions > | en | Two Indonesian women, 23 and 27, have tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza. They are in "serious condition but seem to be improving," said Hariadi Wibisono, a senior health ministry official. They are being treated in the designated bird flu hospital, Sulianti Suroso in eastern Jakarta. It is believed that both women had contact with infected poultry. This brings Indonesia's number of confirmed cases of the virus to 25.
A 26 year old female farmer in Fujian, China whose surname is ''Lin'', also has the deadly H5N1 virus. She was admitted to the hospital in January, but it was only confirmed on Wednesday that she had the virus. Some of the people that have come in close contact with the woman are under observation by local health officials. Her current condition is reported as stable. This is China's eleventh confirmed case of the virus.
Julie Hall of the Beijing-based World Health Organization said that the latest patient was "highly likely to have had contact with sick animals," but the WHO is still waiting for information on how she could have gotten the disease.
Some experts believe migrating birds from China's Qinghai Lake nature reserve are spreading the virus; however, there others who believe it's shipments of poultry and poultry products along with poultry manure.
As avian influenza confirmed in Nigeria, "We shouldn't assume that is just in Nigeria" said David Nabarro, the United Nations' coordinator for bird flu and pandemic influenza. "The outbreak in Nigeria means we have another central point for the virus to become embedded into the poultry population."
About 20 countries have reported outbreaks of the virus in birds which has sickened people who come in contact with the infected birds. If the rate of human infection continues to increase, so does the chance the virus will change into a form easily transmitted by humans. |
en | China is inoculating millions of birds to try to stamp out bird flu
China's health ministry confirmed on Wednesday that the woman in Fujian had tested positive for the H5N1 strain, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The news came on the same day that health authorities reported Africa's first avian cases of bird flu.
More than 70 people, mostly in South East Asia, have died of the disease since late 2003.
Scientists fear the H5N1 bird flu virus could mutate from a disease that largely affects birds to one that can pass easily between people, leading to a human pandemic.
China is seen as potential flashpoint for a human pandemic, because it has the world's largest poultry population.
The latest victim was first admitted to hospital with a fever in January, but she was only confirmed to have contracted bird flu on Wednesday.
No outbreak among birds has so far been detected near where she lived.
But some of the people who have been in contact with her have been placed under observation by local health authorities, according to Xinhua. | en | Two Indonesian women, 23 and 27, have tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza.

Avian influenza - situation (birds) in Nigeria 8 February 2006 The confirmation of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in domestic birds in northern Nigeria marks the further geographical spread of this virus. Although all evidence to date indicates that the virus does not spread easily from birds to humans, careful monitoring of the situation is warranted. Experience in several other countries has shown how quickly the H5N1 virus can spread and become firmly established in poultry. The ability of this virus to cause rare but severe disease in humans is well documented. At present, the only confirmed H5N1 outbreak is thought to be confined to a large commercial farm, located in Kaduna State in the northern part of the country, where thousands of chickens were kept in battery cages. Investigations are urgently needed to determine whether the outbreak, which began almost a month ago, has spread from the farm to affect household flocks. Poultry deaths in the adjacent province of Kano have been reported, but the cause has not yet been determined. The most immediate public health need is to reduce opportunities for human infections to occur. Investigations of human cases in Asia and elsewhere have identified close contact with diseased or dead household poultry as the most important source of human exposure to the virus. In Nigeria, as in other parts of Africa, most village households maintain free-ranging flocks of poultry as a source of income and food. Close human contact with poultry is extensive. If the virus has spread to household flocks in Nigeria, public information campaigns will be needed to warn populations to avoid high-risk behaviours, including the slaughtering, defeathering, butchering, and preparation for consumption of diseased poultry. WHO is ready to respond to requests from Nigeria for support, including assessment teams and the provision of essential supplies and equipment. Infectious disease staff at WHO’s regional office in Harare, Zimbabwe held an emergency meeting today to assess the situation, plan a response, and evaluate the possible risk to other African countries. A team of experts experienced in the investigation of outbreaks has been placed on standby. No clear information about the source of the Nigerian outbreak is presently available, but the country is known to lie along a flight route for birds migrating from central Asia. Full sequence information about the virus in the Nigerian outbreak is expected later this week. This information will allow comparison with viruses that have caused human cases elsewhere and thus assist in the assessment of risks to human health. Sequence information may also shed some light on the origins of the outbreak. | en | Two Indonesian women, 23 and 27, have tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza.

en | Yes, you read that right: things have gotten so weird in the music business that high-profile acts are inserting ads into their song lyrics. The next time you hear a brand mentioned in a song, it could be due to a paid product placement. And unlike magazines, songs are not required to point out which words are part of an advertisement.
"I'm writing because we feel you may be a good company to participate in a brand integration campaign within the actual lyrics of one of the worlds most famous recording artists upcoming song/album," begins the opening e-mail in the eventual salvo between the two.
A e-mail from the Kluger Agency , which performs such product placements, mistakenly sent to Jeff Crouse of the Anti-Advertising Agency and Double Happiness Jeans, provides a rare glimpse into the secretive market for song lyric product placement.
Songs that refer to products and brands have been with us for years, from Simon and Garfunkel singing "Mama don't take my Kodachrome away" to Janis Joplin's plea for a new car in "Mercedes Benz" and beyond. Conscious of the branding value such mentions can bring, some artists have gone so far as to approach companies with offers to include brand and product names in their song lyrics.
In the e-mail, Kluger (who has represented Mariah Carey, New Kids on the Blog, Ne-Yo, Fall Out Boy, Method Man, Lady GaGa and Ludacris) explained via e-mail that for the right price, Double Happiness Jeans could find its way into the lyrics in an upcoming Pussycat Dolls song. Crouse posted the e-mail on his blog at the Anti-Advertising Agency, an art project of sorts that's basically the philosophical mirror image of a traditional ad agency.
The thing is, Double Happiness Jeans is not your everyday brand -- it's a virtual sweatshop organized by EyeBeam for a display at the Sundance Festival, which involves paying Second Life citizens 90 cents an hour to make real, customized jeans designed in the virtual factory. Crouse and Steve Lambert, his partner at the Anti-Advertising Agency, are probably the last people on earth who Kluger would want to receive this e-mail. Both men spend a fair amount of their time questioning, undermining and criticizing the pervasiveness of materialism and advertising in our culture.
"It was hilarious," Lambert told us via telephone, "that he wanted to put Jeff's fake Second Life sweatshop company in a pop song. It's this desperation that advertising has come to because you can't just tell people about your product anymore, because nobody cares. Advertisers have created this situation where they've made themselves obsolete. There's too much advertising out there, so they try to find new ways to cut through the clutter that they've created. And this is one of those ways."
Soon after Crouse posted Kluger's e-mail and his own response on the blog, a commenter wrote, "Either a spammer/con-artist is using the name... or (they are) really bad at marketing themselves." Kluger asked Lambert and Crouse via e-mail and telephone a number of times to remove the post and comment. "Will you please remove the post on your blog? Now a new comment was made basically calling us 'morons,'" he wrote in one of the requests. "When I google the blog or my name, the tag line is 'spammer/con-artist' using the name Adam Kluger PR. Obviously, this is not good for business, and more importantly, I'm quite embarrassed."
UPDATE: (A representative from Adam Kluger PR contacted wired.com to say that agency was not involved in this issue in any way).
Never mind that it was he who first approached them via unsolicited e-mail by using a scraper program that identified them as potential clients for his product placement service. Or that the words he objected to were in readers' comments, not in the original post. Kluger doesn't like the comments and wants them removed from the internet.
The Anti-Advertising Agency declined and has already drawn some attention to the practice of selling space in lyrics to advertisers through its blog. "Maybe Ludacris wants to rap about a luxury SUV, and is just looking for the right one," said Lambert. "We'll never know (everything about) how it works, because that takes the mystique out of it, and the mystique is one of the things that they can sell." But thanks to this e-mail, we at least have proof that the phenomenon is real.
For his part, Kluger claims that product placement can be done in such a way that artistic integrity is not affected. "We are just financially taking care of the people that should be taken care of," he told us via e-mail. "If an artist like Sheryl Crow has the same target audience as XZY brand, we feel it's nothing but a strong and strategic way to pinpoint a market.
"Now, we don't want an artist to write a song specifically to promote a brand, we just feel that if it's a product that's admired by the artist and fits his/her image, we now have the capability of leveling out the playing field and making things financially beneficial for all parties involved. 'Brand-Dropping' is the term that the Kluger Agency coined to describe discreetly advertising by product mentioning in song, and we feel we can make this the way of the future without jeopardizing any artists creative outlet or typical style."
Whether because the Anti-Advertising Agency exposed the practice of product placement in lyrics, because Kluger doesn't like being called a moron on the blog's comments section, or both, he says he's going to sue.
In an e-mail sent to Lambert, he wrote, "$5500 is what it's going to cost me to have an attorney stick you with a $150,000 judgment for the next 20 years. We've consulted with two different firms. This was written with the intent to hurt our business and we will win, period... We will go after Steve Lambert, AntiAdvertisingAgency.com, and Budget Gallery (where Lambert sells his art). Since you are intentionally damaging our California-based agency, you will have the opportunity to defend yourself in the state of California. If you think I'm bluffing, that's fine with me."
Lambert remains unconvinced. "I really don't think there's any way he can win," he told us."I have every right to have that there... Jeff's commentary doesn't say anything about this guy's company, it's just funny. And bloggers aren't responsible for people who write comments -- it would be like holding the New York Times accountable for every letter to the editor ever sent them."
Kluger's angry, litigious reaction to his offer being posted indicates that he knows he's doing something a bit shady. Bands like The Pussycat Dolls don't have much integrity to lose, but we were still sort of surprised to find that they sell elements of their songs to the highest bidder.
What's next, a song called "My Family And I Enjoy McDonalds-Brand Food Products"? A band called "Exxon/Mobil Greatly Benefits All Aspects of The Glorious Environment"?
I appreciate that artists need to embrace a variety of revenue opportunities to make it today, but selling song lyrics seems to go over the line -- assuming there's still such a thing as selling out.

An email accidentally sent to Jeff Crouse of the ''Anti-Advertising Agency'' recently brought the controversial techniques of the advertising firm ''Kluger Agency'' under fire.
"I'm writing because we feel you may be a good company to participate in a brand integration campaign within the actual lyrics of one of the worlds most famous recording artists upcoming song/album," the email read, offering to place Jeff Crouse's fake brand, Double Happiness Jeans, into the songs of popular artists. It was posted on his blog along with a reply that mocked Kluger and brought ridicule and criticism against Adam Kugler and his agency. According to Crouse, Kluger emailed him once again to claim it had been an automated email, and later requested that Crouse remove the post and comments criticizing himself and his agency, threatening a $150,000 lawsuit against Crouse for defamation.
Kluger Agency is known for advertising brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Mercedes-Benz, and Nike by inserting the brand names in the songs of popular artists like Mariah Carey, Black Eyed Peas, Fall Out Boy, Pink, Lady GaGa and Ludacris. Kluger, founded in 2006, represents over 170 corporations and focuses on well-known record labels.
Kluger and his PR team have come forward defending the advertising techniques, stating that they do not have songs made just for the products in question and do not infringe on artistic integrity. "Now, we don't want an artist to write a song specifically to promote a brand, we just feel that if it's a product that's admired by the artist and fits his/her image, we now have the capability of leveling out the playing field and making things financially beneficial for all parties involved," he was quoted saying to ''Wired''.
However, the agency's website shows video examples of its product placement, with brand images and names often being repeated, pointed at, praised, or being the basis of the song. The website also advertises that "a successful 'brand-dropping' campaign will imprint the brand name and product into your market's subconscious". |
en | One of my lifelong dreams has been to turn on top 40 radio and hear some pop tartlet subtly dropping product placements for my fake sweatshop products into their newest hot single. So you can imagine how excited I was when I read this email yesterday from Mr. Kluger, wherein he offered me an oppertunity I just couldn’t pass up.

subject RE: Product Placement oppertunity
Hi, I’m writing because we feel you may be a good company to participate in a brand integration campaign within the actual lyrics of one of the worlds most famous recording artists upcoming song/album. Lyrics play an important part in the use of music as marketing, Just as a catchy tune could assail your senses, a good “jingle” or cute lyrics could become a part of society for quite some time, imagine your brand name being a part of that. This is the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to make your product a house-hold name. The artists demographic is typically 16-35 and once we get a chance to speak further, i’m sure you’ll be glad we contacted you. (emphasis mine) Get back to me at (949) 379-2008. Best Regards,

es | Luego de la polémica provocada por la publicación de textos escolares que incluyen avisos comerciales que podrían influir sobre menores sin discernimiento, el titular de Educación culpó de la medida a las administraciones concertacionistas para luego afirmar que instruyó que, en el futuro, los textos escolares no hagan alusión a una marca específica, sino que la enseñen a través de marcas ficticias.
Luego de que este martes El Mostrador informara que textos escolares aprobados por el Ministerio de Educación incluyen publicidad, el Gobierno decidió prohibir el uso de avisos comerciales en libros para estudiantes. La medida se debió a la polémica que generó la publicación de este medio dando a conocer que libros de estudio de “Lenguaje y Comunicación”, usados por estudiantes de los primeros años de enseñanza, incluían avisos comerciales de distinto tamaño en la unidad de “Medios y publicidad”.
El problema central -que generó una reacción sin precedentes de los usuarios de las redes sociales, los presidentes de las comisiones de educación de la Cámara de Diputados y el Senado y expertos en educación y publicidad, calificando la situación de “inaceptable”- se debió a que los textos de estudio incluían avisos comerciales que en vez de alentar a los niños a identificar los mensajes publicitarios, fomentaban la repetición de esloganes y mensajes que promovían el consumo de productos de manera contraria al objetivo de la unidad “Medios y publicidad”, que busca que los niños identifiquen mensajes publicitarios para no sucumbir ante ellos.
A raíz de las informaciones dadas a conocer ayer, la presidenta de la comisión de Educación de la Cámara de Diputados, María José Hoffmann (UDI), dijo que “la publicidad en textos escolares es inaceptable y exige regulación del Ministerio”. La parlamentaria agregó que el uso de publicidad a temprana edad genera fidelidad futura, lo que debiera ser regulado y excluido de cualquier proyecto educativo.
El senador Mariano Ruiz Esquide, del partido Demócrata Cristiano, sostuvo que el hecho constituye “una manipulación de los niños y su familia que debe ser sancionada”. “Es un hecho atentatorio a la formación de los jóvenes. No es posible que existan avisos publicitarios escondidos y aceptados, asociados a marcas publicitarias de telecomunicaciones, alimentos y bebidas”, agregó Ruiz Esquide.
De manera similar, el senador del PPD Jaime Quintana, quien preside la Comisión de Educación de la Cámara Alta, calificó como preocupante la situación ya que “la intromisión de las marcas en los textos escolares puede provocar que nuestros niños, claramente un target muy apetecido por las empresas, potencien su necesidad de adquirir estos productos, generando una necesidad que hasta el momento no existía y una frustración si no pueden acceder a tener lo deseado”.
Todas estas versiones repitieron en distinto modo las frases de expertos en educación como Mario Waissbluth -quien dijo que cuando leyó el artículo le dio “un ataque de ira”- y publicistas como Martín Vinacur, quien al ser consultado para el artículo original dijo que “la publicidad infantil supone tratar a los niños como consumidores antes que como niños. Se trata de una manipulación llana y lisa para programar consumidores y eternizar una conducta cultural. La publicidad para niños es una de las aberraciones del sistema, es la transformación de la infancia en un producto de consumo bajo la excusa de reconocerlos como sujetos soberanos de sus deseos y elecciones”.
Lavín que sí, que no
Ayer el ministro de Educación Joaquín Lavín se defendió de las críticas y justificó la inclusión de los avisos en la unidad de “Medios y publicidad” haciendo hincapié en que se trata de “un contenido que permite que los niños enfrenten mejor la publicidad“. Además dijo que “los niños deberían (aprender) a través de una forma reflexiva, y eso es lo que se enseñan en estos libros, a cómo enfrentar la publicidad”. Además recordó que se trata de “los mismos libros que esa cartera viene repartiendo desde el año 2002″.
La información aportada por el secretario de Estado fue reconocida a El Mostrador por la ex ministra de Educación Mariana Aylwin, quien señaló que el uso de avisos en la unidad de estudio mencionada, fue aprobada en el año 2002 dentro de la reforma educativa. Pero aseguró que en ese período nunca se vio algo “ni remotamente cercano a lo que dieron a conocer ustedes”.
Sin embargo, con el paso de las horas y a medida de que la polémica fue escalando, el ministro Lavín decidió recular y dijo a los periodistas que envió un oficio a la jefa de la Unidad de Curriculum y Evaluación del Ministerio de Educación, Loreto Fontaine, en el que restringe el empleo de la publicidad en los libros que se distribuyen en colegios privados.
“Hoy día he instruido que, en el futuro, los textos escolares cuando pasen esta materia, no hagan alusión a una marca específica, sino que la enseñen a través de marcas ficticias. Creo que es lo mejor, porque así se pasa la materia y no se predispone a los alumnos a favor de una marca específica”, dijo Lavín.
Estos cambios se producirán a partir de la próxima impresión de textos escolares.
Revisa las imágenes que aparecen en los textos escolares | es | Con asombro se mostraron los chilenos tras la denuncia del diario electrónico El Mostrador de la existencia de publicidad directa en los textos escolares de Lenguaje y Comunicación de quinto año básico (o primaria). Este hecho fue tema principal en diversas redes sociales y produjo una oleada de críticas contra el Ministerio de Educación por la aprobación del texto escolar.
El libro del alumno, que es distribuido gratuitamente por el ministerio en colegios públicos y debe ser comprado por los padres en colegios particulares, tiene alusiones a compañías de telefonía móvil, jugos, comida para perros, papelería, etc., que se enmarca en la unidad de publicidad, y cuyas preguntas iban desde recitar el jingle de un producto hasta completar un cuadro resumen con las propiedades comerciales de ciertos productos.
Las empresas mencionadas en los libros declararon que fueron consultadas acerca del uso de sus imágenes, pero ellos no pagaron para ser incluidos en la publicación escolar. El Colegio de Profesores calificó la publicidad como inoportuna y que genera una falsa sensación de dependencia del producto, además de influenciar a los estudiantes.
El ministro de educación, Joaquín Lavín, indicó a primera hora que el texto había sido revisado por el ministerio sin presentar mayores reparos en sus contenidos, ya que son adecuados para la unidad tratada.
Sin embargo, y a final del día, precisó que a partir del próximo año no se permitirán textos publicitarios en la unidad del libro y se autorizará el uso de marcas ficticias para el desarrollo del capítulo cuestionado.
En el mundo político, senadores pro-gobierno criticaron el rol del gobierno y solicitaron al ministerio mayor control en los contenidos a ser publicados por las editoriales y que solicitará a Lavín abrir una investigación en su cartera para conocer el porqué los libros contenían estos anuncios publicitarios.
La unidad de publicidad está presente desde el 2002 en el currículo de Lenguaje y Comunicación, y esta polémica se suma a las ocurridas hace algunos años por la publicación en un libro de inglés de una dirección web que redirigía a un sitio pornográfico, y otro texto que contenía una imagen de un chat que hacía comentarios despectivos contra la Armada y su máximo héroe, Arturo Prat. |

Concepción, Chile | es | Con asombro se mostraron los chilenos tras la denuncia del diario electrónico El Mostrador de la existencia de publicidad directa en los textos escolares de Lenguaje y Comunicación de quinto año básico (o primaria). Este hecho fue tema principal en diversas redes sociales y produjo una oleada de críticas contra el Ministerio de Educación por la aprobación del texto escolar.
El libro del alumno, que es distribuido gratuitamente por el ministerio en colegios públicos y debe ser comprado por los padres en colegios particulares, tiene alusiones a compañías de telefonía móvil, jugos, comida para perros, papelería, etc., que se enmarca en la unidad de publicidad, y cuyas preguntas iban desde recitar el jingle de un producto hasta completar un cuadro resumen con las propiedades comerciales de ciertos productos.
Las empresas mencionadas en los libros declararon que fueron consultadas acerca del uso de sus imágenes, pero ellos no pagaron para ser incluidos en la publicación escolar. El Colegio de Profesores calificó la publicidad como inoportuna y que genera una falsa sensación de dependencia del producto, además de influenciar a los estudiantes.
El ministro de educación, Joaquín Lavín, indicó a primera hora que el texto había sido revisado por el ministerio sin presentar mayores reparos en sus contenidos, ya que son adecuados para la unidad tratada.
Sin embargo, y a final del día, precisó que a partir del próximo año no se permitirán textos publicitarios en la unidad del libro y se autorizará el uso de marcas ficticias para el desarrollo del capítulo cuestionado.
En el mundo político, senadores pro-gobierno criticaron el rol del gobierno y solicitaron al ministerio mayor control en los contenidos a ser publicados por las editoriales y que solicitará a Lavín abrir una investigación en su cartera para conocer el porqué los libros contenían estos anuncios publicitarios.
La unidad de publicidad está presente desde el 2002 en el currículo de Lenguaje y Comunicación, y esta polémica se suma a las ocurridas hace algunos años por la publicación en un libro de inglés de una dirección web que redirigía a un sitio pornográfico, y otro texto que contenía una imagen de un chat que hacía comentarios despectivos contra la Armada y su máximo héroe, Arturo Prat. |
es | Mariana Aylwin, ministra de Educación entre 2000 y 2003, respondió al actual titular de la cartera, Joaquín Lavín, quien aseguró que la publicidad en textos escolares de Lenguaje y Comunicación aprobados por dicha cartera se trata de los "los mismos libros que el Mineduc viene repartiendo desde el año 2002".
La ex titular de Educación dijo a La Tercera que a pesar de que no puede "poner las manos al fuego", le cuesta creer que dicha publicidad se haya autorizado en su gestión, porque una "comisión transversal" revisó exhaustivamente la política de textos escolares ese año.
"Hubo una comisión transversal que revisó todo, no hizo ver una situación de este tipo. Con lo cual me cuesta creer que haya textos de esos años que tengan publicidad", dijo Aylwin. "Insisto, yo estuve muy encima de la política de textos y nunca supe de esto. En más de una ocasión miré los textos enteros", añadió.
Consultada por la posibilidad de que la aseveración de Lavín se compruebe, la ex ministra de Estado asumió que "si es ese caso, fue sin mi autorización y tendría que indagar qué pasó".
La otrora titular de Educación explicó que hacia 2002 "hubo un gran escándalo por textos de Ciencias Sociales" y que también había "había salido un libro del CEP sobre los textos escolares que decía que eran muy malos, en ese contexto convoqué a una comisión que sesionó bastante tiempo, cuyo secretario ejecutivo fue Cristián Cox, y que la presidió Máximo Pachecho. Donde creo que estaba representado el Colegio de Profesores, la Lucía Santa Cruz, creo que estaba la Loreto Fontaine".
Aylwin insistió que esta comisión "hizo una revisión de los textos de estudio y de la política de textos. Por lo tanto, no puedo creer que en esa comisión éste no hubiera sido un tema, porque obviamente era un aspecto importante".
Asegura que el tema a discutir es "cómo uno vende publicidad".
"Se puede vender publicidad, pero incluso me han dicho que hay publicidad de colegios, eso lo encuentro impresentable. Que en un texto del Mineduc haya publicidad de colegios, lo encuentro complicado", aseguró.
PIDEN RETIRO DE LIBROS
Frente a esta polémica, la diputada PPD, Cristina Girardi, solicitó, mediante un oficio dirigido a Joaquín Lavín, que el Mineduc informe sobre cuáles fueron los criterios pedagógicos que estuvieron detrás de la aprobación de libros escolares de Lenguaje y Comunicación. La legisladora requirió, además, que desde el Ministerio se retiren estos textos, que incluyen publicidad, de todos los establecimientos escolares.
"No sé cuáles son los criterios educativos por los cuales el Mineduc apoyó y aprobó estos textos escolares, pero me parece que queda cada más que claro que para nuestros gobernantes la educación es un negocio", declaró la diputada por el PPD.
La parlamentaria sostuvo que incluir propaganda en los libros de los más pequeños "no está destinado precisamente a formar personas con criterios ciudadanos libres, que efectivamente puedan elegir, sino consumidores". "Ese parece que está siendo el destino de nuestra educación en Chile", aseguró. | es | Con asombro se mostraron los chilenos tras la denuncia del diario electrónico El Mostrador de la existencia de publicidad directa en los textos escolares de Lenguaje y Comunicación de quinto año básico (o primaria).

en | Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger sought help from other states as wind-fueled fires burned 356,000 acres (142,400 hectares) across Southern California, consuming hundreds of houses, killing two people and uprooting more than a quarter-million more.
About 68,500 homes and 2,200 businesses are threatened by fires, and 321,000 residents have fled, Rochelle Jenkins, a spokeswoman for the state's emergency response team, said in an interview today.
``I'm heartbroken to see those things,'' Schwarzenegger said in a news conference after touring burned houses in San Diego. ``These are people that have saved all their lives to pay for those homes. We have to do everything we can to help these people.''
More than 6,000 firefighters backed by helicopters, bulldozers and water-laden aircraft are battling 15 wildfires in seven counties, from San Diego north to Malibu, outside Los Angeles, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
President George W. Bush declared a state of emergency in California, vowed to travel to the area Oct. 25 and sent Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator David Paulison to San Diego today.
Dead and Injured
Two people have been killed by the wildfires and 45 have been injured, including 16 firefighters, state authorities said. An unidentified civilian died of burns in Santa Clarita in northern Los Angeles county, and Thomas Varshock, 52, was found dead Oct. 21 in the San Diego area.
Flames have consumed more than 1,300 homes, 100 businesses and 80 other buildings, damaged another 400 structures, according to the state fire protection agency. The Insurance Information Institute in New York estimated fire damage would total at least $500 million.
In San Diego, an estimated 250,000 people were evacuated, jamming roads and highways. Parts of two major freeways from the city, Interstates 15 and 5, were closed yesterday by the fires.
Twelve evacuation centers in San Diego house more than 12,000 people, said Tonya Hoover, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry, including Qualcomm Stadium, home of the National Football League's San Diego Chargers franchise. The Chargers moved practices to Arizona for the next three days.
Evacuations
Hewlett-Packard Co. evacuated employees yesterday from its printer-research facility, one of its largest, in northern San Diego County near Escondido, spokesman Edward Woodward said.
San Diego officials said they were so overwhelmed by the size and number of fires that they initially couldn't get an accurate count of how many homes had been destroyed. They fear the fires may be worse than a 2003 blaze that caused $1.1 billion in damage, destroying 4,847 structures.
``We have very dry areas, very hot weather and a lot of wind,'' Schwarzenegger said. ``Those are the perfect storms for a fire.''
Some police and firefighters were diverted from fighting fires, controlling access and traffic to dealing with stubborn homeowners refusing to leave their homes until the last minute, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders said. The U.S. Navy asked only ``essential personnel'' to report to work yesterday, and all schools and colleges in San Diego County are closed today.
Nothing Like This
``We've never seen anything like this,'' Sanders said yesterday. ``The fires are coming at us from all angles in the worst possible weather conditions.''
About 238 homes were burned in the communities of Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs, in the mountains northeast of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles television station KTLA said.
The fires destroyed nine homes and five businesses in Malibu, where many movie stars have homes, northwest of Los Angeles.
Flames consumed at least 35 buildings in Rancho Santa Fe, a northern San Diego residential community ranked by Forbes magazine last year as the second-most-expensive postal code in the nation, based on median home prices.
Homeowners in the area, where the average residence sells for $2.5 million, include T. Boone Pickens, chairman of Dallas-based BP Capital LLC; golfer Phil Mickelson; and singer-songwriter Jewel, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Electrical Emergency
California power-system operators declared an electricity transmission emergency for a second day after the wildfires disabled wires and required utilities to curtail supplies.
The flames are being driven by the so-called Santa Ana winds, which carry hotter-than-normal air from desert areas in the eastern part of the state. Conditions are forecast to continue until tomorrow afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The gusting winds carried embers as far as 2 miles (3 kilometers) to kindle new fires. Temperatures may surpass 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) today. Some areas of Southern California have received little more than an inch (2 centimeters) of rain since Jan. 1.
``The winds are being erratic and changing direction, so it is very challenging for our firefighters,'' Hoover said in a telephone interview. ``We are pooling resources throughout the western United States.''
State Farm Mutual Insurance Co. and Farmers Insurance Group, the largest home insurers in California, face claims from more than 1,500 customers whose homes were damaged or destroyed by wildfires.
Rising Numbers
``The numbers keep rising,'' Farmers spokesman Jerry Davies said in a phone interview from Qualcomm Stadium, where thousands of evacuees were sent. The company, a unit of Zurich Financial Services AG, has been approached by more than 800 customers, with the number climbing by about 200 in less than four hours.
Lloyd's of London and nontraditional insurers may have higher costs from the California wildfires than companies that protect most homes in the state, including Allstate Corp., because the traditional insurers have avoided fire-prone areas, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
``The fires are really spreading very rapidly,'' said Neena Saith, an analyst at Risk Management Solutions in London, which models disasters for insurers, in a telephone interview. ``In terms of the numbers of homes damaged, we're looking at it being in the top-five events in California history.''

===Los Angeles Area:===
Wildfires in Malibu, California, USA have forced the evacuation of the campus of Pepperdine University, as well as several celebrity homes, and more than 250,000 people in San Diego County; after more than 250,000 acres burned in Southern California. High winds and low humidity in the area have only helped to strengthen the fire.
Additionally, firefighters are currently having a difficult time getting in to Malibu, as the only road that leads in to the area is the Pacific Coast Highway, which often sees heavy traffic, although it has been closed between Kanan Road and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Currently, 700 firefighters are working on fighting the blaze. The fire has burned about 4400 acres so far and 15 homes have been lost, however there have been no reported injuries or deaths. The Los Angeles County Fire Department reports the blaze is 15% contained, with 100% containment predicted by Friday, October 26.

Other Los Angeles County wildfires are burning in Agua Dulce (~10,000 acres), Chatsworth, and Castaic.
===San Diego County:===
San Diego, California, USA fires are burning at Witch Creek and at Potrero in San Diego County. The Witch Creek fire, as of 5:50 AM PDT Monday, has burned 8000 acres, and has merged with another fire near the San Diego Wild Animal Park. The city of Ramona, California, USA is under mandatory evacuation and authorities have ordered evacuations in Rancho Bernardo, California, USA and Poway, California, USA as the fires surge west. So far, over 250,000 people have been evacuated in San Diego County.
Additional fires are now being reported in Fallbrook, California, USA and San Marcos, California, USA. The San Diego County Office of Emergency Services (OES) advised residents north of state Route 56, south of Del Dios Highway, west of Interstate 15 and east of Interstate 5 to evacuate, as of 8:32 AM PDT Monday. Since Del Dios Highway is a short north-south segment, it is not clear what OES' intended northern boundary was. Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley is opening as an evacuation center.
As of 7:32 a.m. PDT Monday, authorities are reporting 18,000 acres burning in San Diego County, with 0% containment.
As of 10:16 a.m. PDT Monday, 250,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. Rancho Santa Fe, California, USA was ordered emptied, while dozen of homes were on fire in Ranch Bernardo, California, USA.
As of 10:32 a.m. PDT Monday, the CHP advises that Interstate 15 is still closed in both directions between state Route 78 and state Route 56
As of 1:45 p.m. PDT Monday, evacuations were ordered for Scripps Ranch, California, USA, specifically "Everything south of Scripps Poway Parkway, North of MCAS Miramar, East of Interstate 15, West of Highway 67." This evacuation comes almost four years to the day after the Cedar Fire of 2003.

At least 1,200 acres were scorched Sunday by wildfires in Malibu, California. more photos »
Four firefighters and 13 civilians were hurt in the southeastern part of San Diego County, said Roxanne Provaznik, spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The Sand Diego County blaze, straddling Highway 94, scorched 14,000 acres by nightfall, fire officials said. At that time, it was just five percent contained.
Provaznik said the firefighters were hurt when flames engulfed their fire engine.
A second fire in San Diego County near Witch Creek had burned 5,000 acres by Sunday night and was considered zero percent contained, she said.
Farther north, at least seven fires burned near Malibu, the beach community that is home to dozens of celebrities.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman said five single family home and two commercial buildings -- a glass company and Malibu Presbyterian Church -- were destroyed in Malibu.
Nine single family homes and five commercial buildings had been damaged, he said of the blaze that consumed 1,200 acres.
The department said about 200 homes in the Malibu area were evacuated.
Helicopters that were dumping water on the fires were to be grounded at dusk, said Freeman. He said firefighters were in a "good position" to fight the blaze with engine companies after dark.
Freeman said the Malibu area fire began around 4:50 a.m. (7:50 a.m. ET) Sunday. As of 5 p.m. (8 p.m. ET) the Malibu fire was not under control, he said.
The cause is still under investigation but several downed power lines were found in the area, he said.
Freeman's "best projection" is that the fire will last at least two days.
"Thousands of homes are going to be threatened at one time or another based on the movement of the fire," said Freeman.
Malibu Mayor Pro Tem Pamela Conley Ulich said earlier Sunday, "We are at the mercy of the wind."
Hot weather and Santa Ana winds marked the height of traditional wildfire season this weekend, after one of the driest years on record.
Noting there have not been any reported injuries in Malibu, Freeman urged residents not to return to their homes to retrieve anything.
"We're all scared to death and we have nowhere to go," Susan Nuttall, 51, told The Associated Press as she sat in her black Mercedes in a cul-de-sac after fleeing her condominium near the Pepperdine campus. She was wearing a bathrobe and holding her Chihuahua. View images of the destruction »
Flames consumed Malibu's landmark Castle Kashan, a fortress-like hilltop home with turrets and arched windows.
Chunks of brick fell from the exterior of the burning structure overlooking the coast. The house was not directly in the fire's path, but powerful winds carried embers to the building, fire inspector Rick Dominguez said. Castle Kashan is owned by Lilly Lawrence, a Malibu philanthropist.
Daniel Collins, who has been staying at Castle Kashan for a few months, said he woke to thick smoke and "flames licking the windows."
"It was pretty intense," he told CNN. "And we were probably in this house for an hour or so watching this and finally they got us out of there. By the time we left, the castle was engulfed in flames."
Collins said he felt safe because there were many firefighters. Once he was helped from the castle, Collins rushed to see if his neighbors were safe and they were, he said.
Meanwhile, students at Pepperdine's Malibu campus were told to gather at Firestone Field House, while faculty and staff were gathering at Tyler Campus Center, campus police told CNN.
Later the university said students, faculty and staff who relocated to those facilities had been allowed to return to their dorms and on-campus residences.
The fire department as of 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) listed the following areas as being under mandatory evacuation orders: Montenedo, Malibu Road, Malibu Colony, Pepperdine, Malibu Crest, Serra Retreat and Big Rock.
The residential area Malibu Crest and vacation area Sierra Retreat also were evacuated Sunday, Padilla said.
Evacuation centers were set up at Zuma Beach and authorities had aerial teams serving as lookouts, and helicopters and fire engines to areas as they became threatened, Dominguez said.
Residents of the threatened areas include Dick Van Dyke, Mel Gibson, and Olivia Newton John.
Meanwhile, another wind-driven wildfire has burned hundreds of acres of woodland in the Townsend Peak area of California's Angeles National Forest, in the northern section of Los Angeles County, according to U.S. Forest Service spokesman Stanton Florea.
Authorities said that fire, near Castaic, had consumed 1,500 acres as of 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) Sunday.
The fire, which started just before 10 p.m. Saturday (1 a.m. Sunday ET) Saturday, threatens a condor habitat and destroyed an out-building, Florea said. E-mail to a friend

Wildfires fanned by fierce desert winds forced the evacuations of nearly 250,000 people Monday in San Diego County, including hundreds who were being moved by school bus and ambulance from a hospital and nursing homes.
More than a dozen wildfires had engulfed Southern California, killing at least one person, injuring dozens more and threatening scores of structures.
A San Diego-area fire official said that the raging wildfires got "dramatically worse" overnight.
"[The situation] is worse than many of us could've imagined," said Bill Metcalf, chief of the North County Fire Protection District. "It was a long night. A dangerous night."
Metcalf said that one of the major issues that firefighters are dealing with is that residents did not listen to early evacuation orders.
"One of issues is that we're not able to do any suppression because resources are being used to do rescues," he said. "People didn't evacuate at all or didn't until it was too late."
Another fire in the area prompted officials to order the town of Ramona to be evacuated earlier Monday. Officials said several structures on the edge of town have been burned.
One person died in a fire near San Diego. Four firefighters and at least 10 other people were hospitalized.
There are nearly a dozen wildfires scorching parts of Southern California.
Firefighters in San Diego County are battling about a dozen fires that have burned more than 40,000 acres. Firefighters said Sunday night that they are overwhelmed.
In Malibu, about 700 firefighters have been working to protect hundreds of luxury homes in upscale communities.
"To try and staff something this big, you cannot predict it," Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Sam Padilla said.
Among the structures destroyed by the fire are the landmark Castle Kashan, a fortress-like home with turrets and arched windows. The owner of the home had time to gather some items -- including Elvis Presley's Army fatigues -- before flames engulfed her home.

en | The Lambda Literary Foundation at an awards ceremony in New York City’s SVA Theater announced winners for the 22nd Annual Lambda Literary Awards last night.
“The Lambda Literary Awards are the most prestigious queer literary prize in the world,” says Lambda Executive Director, Tony Valenzuela. “The Awards are important because they recognize the work of authors chronicling the LGBT experience and creating art out of our lives.”
Awards were presented in 23 categories. Winners were chosen by a jury of 87 judges who come from all walks of literary life: journalists, authors, booksellers, librarians, playwrights, and illustrators.
The judges assessed 462 LGBT-interest titles nominated in 23 categories, selecting 113 finalists from LGBT-specific presses academic publishers and mainstream trade houses.
Of those 113 finalists, 24 winners were announced (including 1 tie). Winners included Ariel Gore, editor of the anthology Portland Queer: Tales of the Rose City; Catherynne M. Valente, author of the fantasy novel Palimpsest; and Vestal McIntyre author of the novel, Lake Overturn.
Two $1,000 cash prizes were given out to debut fiction authors Rakesh Satyal (Blue Boy) and Rhiannon Argo (The Creamsickle). The Betty Berzon Debut Fiction Award is named after long-time LGBT activist and author, Betty Berzon.
2010 Pioneer Awards were also given to Larry Kramer and Kate Clinton.
“Reading powerful stories about ourselves is important, and the foundation’s commitment to supporting LGBT artists and writers is vital,” said 2010 Pioneer Award Recipient, Kate Clinton.
“Queer books save queer lives,” Lambda Board member, Nicola Griffith observes. The Lambda Literary Foundation’s sole purpose is to champion those books, to nurture, celebrate, and preserve queer literature.”
Scott Cranin, Board member: “The Lambda Literary Awards have become the centerpiece of the year for the literary community. They help readers find the gems and recognize the authors for writing them.”
Terry DeCrescenzo, Board member: “The Lambda Literary Awards insure that our literary voices are not only heard, but also celebrated. Without the Lammys, LGBT writing would be marginalized.”
The 22nd Annual Lambda Literary Awards were made possible by support from Bella Books/Spinsters Ink, Harper Perennial, Kensington Publishing Corp., TLA Gay, Gay City News, Bold Strokes Books, Alyson Books, Monette-Horowitz Trust, American Institute of Bisexuality, Barefoot Wine, American Booksellers Association, Bywater Books, Blind Eye Books, University of Wisconsin Press, Black Lawrence Press, Michele Karlsberg Marketing and Management, Beacon Press, and Arsenal Pulp Press.

We have been closely monitoring the bombings in London. Our sympathies and condolences go to the victims of this incident and the people of London.
We have been in direct communication with officials at the state and local level and with public and private sector transportation officials. We have asked them for increased vigilance and additional security measures for major transit systems.
The Department of Homeland Security has stood up the Interagency Incident Management Group to ensure full situational awareness around this incident and in the United States. We do not have any specific intelligence indicating this type of attack is planned in the United States, but we are constantly evaluating both intelligence and our protective measures and will take whatever actions are necessary.
We will continue to work closely with British officials as they investigate this incident.
### | en | The United States Department of Homeland Security has raised the terror alert level to "orange" for trains in reaction to the bombings of three subway trains and a bus in London.
The United States has a five-level terror alert system in which orange is the second-highest level.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff asked citizens for increased vigilance and asked cities to increase their security on their transit systems.
"Currently, the United States has no specific, credible information suggesting an imminent attack in the United States," says Chertoff.
The United States Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security, has alerted stations in high-risk areas to stand 24/7 patrols.
In Washington, Capitol Hill police announced plans to search buses, tour vans and larger vehicles traveling on the roads leading to the Capitol.
In San Francisco today, local police stood guard at Muni and BART stations. Amtrak rail lines released a statement saying that they are stepping up their security around their country-wide stations. Local sheriff dispatches have been seen patrolling even the smallest rail stations. |

PHOTOS VIDEO PHOTO ESSAYS STORIES BACKGROUND
From New York to San Francisco, cities tightened security for local rail and bus lines that carry millions of Americans daily. Stepped-up safeguards included officers armed with machine guns, bomb-sniffing dogs, increased video surveillance and more police at train and bus stations.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff (search) said Thursday that authorities had no evidence of a specific, credible threat against the United States.
However, he said, "we feel that, at least in the short term, we should raise the level here because, obviously, we're concerned about the possibility of a copycat attack."
The London attacks were well-coordinated, leading to speculation about Al Qaeda (search) involvement, and U.S. officials were trying to determine responsibility.
U.S. counterterror officials said they received intelligence last month dating back to 2004 that Al Qaeda was interested in attacking rail systems in Europe and the United States, including derailing trains or crashing trucks into them. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the intelligence is classified, said the report lacked specifics on the date and location of any potential attacks.

Security around the Capitol and at foreign embassies in Washington was increased, particularly around the British Embassy. Law enforcement authorities around the country were urged to step up security at United Kingdom diplomatic offices, and the State Department ordered U.S. embassies around the world to review their security arrangements.
"We will not yield to these people, will not yield to the terrorists," President Bush said in Gleneagles, Scotland, where he was attending the Group of Eight (search) summit. "We will find them. We will bring them to justice."
Signing a condolence book at the British Embassy in Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (search) wrote of Thursday's bombing victims, "They will not have died in vain."
At the State Department, a British flag was run up a flagpole outside the diplomatic entrance and then lowered to half-staff by two uniformed guards.
For many Americans, the bombings and heightened security revived the tension many had felt after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, but which had seemed to recede in recent months.
"Everything is kind of vulnerable," said Bill Giel, 53, of Milford, Conn., who was riding a commuter train to work. "I just hope the authorities are doing their job in keeping things secure."
"You kind of hold your breath until rush hour is over because of the timing of the one in London," said Paul Dullea, a 37-year-old employee of the Boston Bar Association who rode the commuter rail and subway into Boston from his home in Millis, Mass.
About 29 million people in the United States take commuter trains or subways on an average workday, and millions more take buses. The New York City area accounts for about a third of the rail total, followed by Chicago, Washington, Boston and Philadelphia. The West Coast's largest transit system is in San Francisco.
The alert marked the seventh time the terror threat advisory level had been raised to orange since it was created in 2002, though, like the last time, it was for specific areas. The alert was last raised in August for financial institutions in Washington, New York and Newark, N.J., in the run-up to the November elections.
Recent intelligence has indicated that London was considered a prime target for Islamic extremists, in part because Al Qaeda was having difficulty getting people into the United States, one official said.
Two senior U.S. counterterror officials who detailed some of the classified information received in June said it indicated Al Qaeda's intention to replicate last year's Madrid train bombing attack in Europe and the United States. The officials would not specify whether the intelligence came from a person, intercepted communication or other source.
But they said the intelligence was not otherwise specific, and was dated back to shortly after the Madrid attacks in March 2004.
The officials stressed that the information came as part of a stream of reports indicating Al Qaeda's interest in transit attacks. One of the officials said a federal bulletin was not issued to private, state and local authorities because there wasn't specific information tied to an attack.
U.S. officials have long worried that terrorists would try to strike the nation's mass transit system.
Authorities are particularly concerned about transit systems in Washington, New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago because of earlier indications of Al Qaeda's interest in those cities, said John Rollins, a former senior Homeland Security intelligence official now with Congressional Research Service.
In February, FBI Director Robert Mueller told the Senate Intelligence Committee that U.S. transportation systems "remain a key target." He said last year's attacks on commuter trains in Madrid showed the devastation that a simple, low-tech operation could achieve.
U.S. security concerns and resources have focused on commercial airlines since 2001, said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee.
"We tend to always be looking backward at what the last threat or attack was," Collins said. "As soon as we close the gaps in one area, I'm certain the terrorists will exploit in other areas."

en | July 7 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will raise the terror threat level for public transit systems, while keeping the national threat level unchanged, U.S. Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said.
The threat level for transit systems will be raised from ``elevated,'' to ``high,'' he said.
``We are not suggesting that people avoid public transportation systems,'' he said. ``We don't have any specific credible information that an attack is imminent in the U.S.''
The change is in response to terrorist bombings on London's subway system and a bus that killed at least 33 people and injured more than 345 others. A group calling itself the al-Qaeda Organization in Europe claimed responsibility for the attacks, the deadliest on London since World War II.

pt | A Cimeira UE-África ficou assim marcada por divergências entre os dois continentes sobre os novos acordos comerciais. O presidente do Senegal, Abdoulaye Wade, abandonou aliás a conferência com um apelo contra os acordos de parceria económica. “Os africanos estão contra os acordos”, declarou.
Perante as críticas, o presidente da Comissão Europeia, Durão Barroso, garantiu que a UE vai continuar a negociar os acordos com os países africanos em 2008 e que o objectivo é impedir “que qualquer país africano fique pior” no próximo ano.
Mas Sócrates mostrou-se satisfeito com a Cimeira e realçou o seu sucesso. “Tenho a certeza que as coisas vão melhorar”, afirmou o presidente em exercício da UE, que destacou a adopção de uma estratégia conjunta e os mecanismos para a sua implementação (ver caixas).
Em relação aos Direitos Humanos, o primeiro-ministro realçou que “esta Cimeira não foi de silêncios, deu voz a quem precisa dela, deu voz aos Direitos Humanos, aos refugiados, aos imigrantes, às legítimas aspirações de desenvolvimento”.
Uma opinião bem diferente da organização internacional Human Rights Watch: “Muito se tem falado sobre Direitos Humanos e boa governação, mas o que é que os líderes de Estado e de Governo acordaram em concreto a favor do povo de África? Lamentavelmente, a resposta é nada”, afirmou o porta-voz da organização, Reed Brody.
À margem da Cimeira foram assinados vários acordos, como o envio de oito mil milhões de euros para 30 países africanos. Moçambique, São Tomé e Príncipe e Guiné-Bissau são alguns dos beneficiários. A próxima Cimeira UE-África ficou marcada para 2010 e a Líbia já se mostrou interessada em acolher o encontro.
PLANO DE ACÇÃO UE-ÁFRICA 2007-2010
Os líderes europeus e africanos aprovaram ontem o primeiro plano de acção comum, com projectos a executar entre 2008 e 2010. Uma das áreas apoiadas é o comércio, com dois mil milhões de euros.
PETRÓLEO E CIMENTO DA LÍBIA DE KADHAFI
Portugal e a Líbia deram ontem o seu apoio à compra, pela Secil, de 50 por cento do capital da cimenteira líbia Al-Ahlia Cement Company, que está ainda a ser negociado.
A segunda maior cimenteira portuguesa assinou ontem, no Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros, em Lisboa, uma declaração de intenções sobre a assinatura de um memorando de entendimento com a Líbia para compra de metade do capital social da empresa. Em comunicado refere-se que os governos dos dois países “manifestam o seu apoio à rápida conclusão das referidas negociações”.
Já a Galp Energia vai associar-se à Libya Africa Investment Portfolio (LAP) para desenvolvimento de projectos de exploração e produção de petróleo e gás natural. O anúncio das duas iniciativas contou ontem com o testemunho do primeiro-ministro português, José Sócrates, e o líder líbio, Muammar Kadhafi. Que foi recebido duas vezes por Sócrates em São Bento durante a sua estada em Portugal.
"ARROGÂNCIA DO BANDO DOS QUATRO"
Chegou sábado à noite ao Palácio da Ajuda com trinta minutos de atraso para o banquete oferecido pelo Presidente da República, Cavaco Silva e, manteve-se em silêncio durante a Cimeira até ontem. Robert Mugabe, presidente do Zimbabwe, acusou a chanceler alemã Ângela Merkel de “arrogância” pelas críticas que fez, na véspera, ao seu regime.
“Nós não temos uma democracia há cem anos. Tivemos de lutar por ela no nosso país. As críticas são arrogantes e provêm do bando dos quatro “, declarou, aludindo não só à chanceler como aos homólogos da Suécia, Dinamarca e Holanda.
Antes, já Javier Solana, Alto Representante da União Europeia para a Política Externa, assegurava que as declarações de Ângela Merkel vinculavam os 27 Estados-membros.
Merkel acusou Mugabe de fazer “mal à imagem de uma nova África”. Solana sublinhou que a Europa está pronta a regularizar as relações com o Zimbabwe desde que o país dê sinais de respeito pelos Direitos Humanos.
Por sua vez, o secretário executivo da Comunidade de Desenvolvimento da África Austral , Tomaz Salomão, lembrou que “o Zimbabwe não fazia parte da ordem de trabalhos”, registando o desconforto.
O LIVRO DO ASSESSOR
O livro ‘Arte e Artistas em Portugal’, de Alexandre Melo [conselheiro cultural de José Sócrates], foi oferecido na Cimeira. A edição é do Instituto Camões, feita há seis anos, e o próprio disse que “não tinha conhecimento”.

fr | Si les anneaux olympiques font rêver tout sportif, les villes, elles, courent de moins en moins après l'organisation du rendez-vous. Après Hambourg, Boston et Toronto, la ville de Rome a enterré mercredi 21 septembre sa candidature à l'organisation des JO 2024. À cette liste s'ajoute Munich, qui a renoncé par référendum aux Jeux d'hiver 2022. Plus récemment, Québec tournait le dos aux JO 2026.
Les réticences des villes et de leurs populations sont avant tout motivées par des raisons financières. Les dépenses engagées dans l'organisation des Jeux olympiques se comptent en milliards, voire en dizaines de milliards d'euros. En 2014, la Russie pulvérisait à Sotchi le record des JO les plus chers de l'histoire avec un budget de 37 milliards d'euros.
Échecs financiers, problèmes envrionnementaux et corruption
Ces sommes d'argent considérables se retrouvent trop souvent mal investies. En 2004, le budget de 10 milliards d'euros consacré aux Jeux d'Athènes a servi en grande partie à construire des stades... qui sont aujourd'hui à l'abandon. Le Comité international olympique (CIO) a estimé que cet énorme échec financier a coûté à la Grèce près de deux points de croissance.
Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau. En 1976, en pleine crise pétrolière, le déficit d’un milliard de dollars des Jeux de Montréal avait refroidi plus d'une candidature. Los Angeles s'était ainsi retrouvée seule ville candidate à l'organisation des Jeux de 1984.
Aux problèmes économiques et financiers s'ajoutent aujourd'hui les conséquences sur l’environnement, les désagréments quotidiens provoqués par des années de travaux, ainsi que les affaires de dopage et de corruption qui touchent les grandes instances internationales sportives.
Le Qatar bientôt candidat à l'organisation des Jeux
Le CIO a pris conscience du problème. Depuis 2011, une réforme rend possible les candidatures conjointes entre pays pour partager la prise de risque financière. Pourquoi ne pas imaginer un jour une candidature aux Jeux d'hiver dans les Alpes, partagée entre la France, la Suisse, l’Autriche, l’Allemagne et la Slovénie ? Autres changements : dans le cahier des charges, les villes n'ont plus l’obligation de construire des parcs olympiques et la priorité est donnée aux candidatures qui privilégient le développement durable.
Les Jeux olympiques ont toutefois encore un bel avenir devant eux. Chine, Russie, Brésil... Les pays émergeants, qui regorgent de moyens financiers et sont en demande d'événements à même d'affirmer leur puissance, ne s'embarrassent de consulter leur population. Après la Coupe du monde de football 2022, le Qatar déposera à son tour sa candidature à l'organisation des Jeux. | fr | , la maire de Rome, en 2016.
Tout comme pour (hiver 2022) ou (hiver 2026), la ville de a retiré hier sa candidature pour les d'été de 2024. La raison principale de tous ces abandons est un problème financier : l'organisation de parcs olympiques, pourtant non obligatoire depuis 2011, revient en dizaine de milliards d'euros. Une autre nouveauté avait été instaurée : les pays peuvent désormais s'allier entre eux pour une candidature groupée.
Les Jeux olympiques d'été de 2004 à ont coûté deux points de croissance à son pays, pour des constructions actuellement à l'abandon. Le même résultat est visible à , où la Russie avait payé 37 milliards d'euros.
Ce sont désormais les pays en émergence tels que le Brésil (Jeux d'été de cette année), la Russie, la Chine ou le Qatar qui, demandant des images valorisantes de leurs pays, se portent candidats.
Après l'avoir promis dans sa campagne électorale, la nouvelle maire de la ville, , a officialisé la fin de la candidature de Rome. |

The trial took place behind closed doors and lasted a day. Lines was tried on charges of procuring an underage child for sex. Judge Duch Kimsan said he will announce his decision in the near future.
In the past few years Cambodian police and the courts have begun to crack down on foreigners who travel to Cambodia seeking sex with young girls from poor areas. |

Un estudio científico señaló este viernes que no hay prueba genética de que los habitantes de la Isla de Pascua, los rapanui, se hayan mezclado con indígenas de Sudamérica antes de la llegada los conquistadores europeos. Según el informe de la revista médica Current Biology, tampoco es posible descartar al 100% los contactos culturales o acercamientos entre la comunidad asentada en la actual zona de Chile y los demás pueblos originarios del subcontinente americano.
Lars Fehren-Schmitz, investigador de la Universidad de California y el principal autor de la investigación, afirmó que les "sorprendió no encontrar ninguna traza de indígenas americanos" en las muestras de ADN que extrajeron de cinco restos del yacimiento de Anakena, que se ubica al norte de la isla. De acuerdo a cálculos, tres de los cadáveres pertenecieron a individuos que vivieron mucho antes del año 1722, mientras que los otros dos fueron de personas más contemporáneas, nacidas entre el siglo XIX y el XX.
Los científicos dijeron "no encontrar ninguna traza de indígenas americanos" en el ADN extraído de los restos de quienes vivieron en la antigua civilización.
Misterio. Los resultados permitieron a Fehren-Schmitz y su equipo rechazar la hipótesis porque ninguno de esos individuos tenía una herencia sustancial de indígenas americanos. "Nuestra información sugiere que la herencia indígena americana presente hoy en día en los pascuenses no estaba presente en la isla antes del contacto europeo y, por tanto, puede ser debido a hechos más recientes en la historia", añadió.
De esta manera, queda pendiente la respuesta sobre cuándo se produjo exactamente el mestizaje entre rapanuis y sudamericanos. En la actualidad, el ADN de los pascuenses muestra entre un 6% y un 8% de material genético procedente de indígenas americanos. El próximo paso para los investigadores sería obtener cuantiosas muestras del genoma de otras poblaciones antiguas de Oceanía y el occidente de Sudamérica para determinar las interacciones potenciales entre unos y otros.

es | Los paleogenetistas por primera vez en la historia han 'resucitado' y descifrado el ADN de los antiguos habitantes de la Isla de Pascua (Rapa Nui) y llegaron a la conclusión de que estaban emparentados con polinesios que nunca tuvieron contacto con otros grupos de personas antes de que los europeos llegaran a esta misteriosa isla, informa el artículo, publicado en la revista 'Current Biology'.
Un científico de la Universidad de California, Lars Feren-Schmitz, y sus colegas compararon el ADN de los restos de habitantes de la isla que vivieron antes de la llegada de los europeos con el ADN de personas que poblaron la zona durante los últimos días de la civilización local. Los estudios han demostrado que los habitantes de la isla de Pascua no estuvieron en contacto con otras comunidades humanas durante miles de años antes de la llegada de los colonizadores europeos.
"No encontramos ningún rastro de que los habitantes de la Isla de Pascua y los indios de Sudamérica pudieran entrar en contacto. Este hecho nos sorprendió mucho, ya que había muchos indicios de que tales contactos habían tenido lugar. Por eso estábamos seguros de que íbamos a encontrarlos. Pero resultó que no es así", dijo Feren-Schmitz.
¿Por qué se extinguió la enigmática civilización?
La isla de Pascua es uno de los lugares más misteriosos de la Tierra; hace unos 2.000 años fue hogar de una extraña civilización polinesia que dejó en ella un gran número de vestigios en forma de ídolos gigantes, los moái. De acuerdo con los científicos, estas esculturas son figuras deificadas de los ancestros y parientes de los antiguos habitantes de la isla.
¿Resuelto uno de los más grandes misterios de la historia?
Esta civilización prácticamente había desaparecido de la isla de Pascua antes de la llegada de los primeros colonizadores. La causa de su extinción podría estar relacionada con dos factores: el agotamiento de los recursos como resultado de la tala de los bosques y el exterminio de animales por los polinesios y la guerra entre diferentes tribus de aborígenes.
Las guerras internas, por su parte, llevaron a la extinción casi completa de la cultura moái. Finalmente, los restos de la civilización en la isla de Pascua fueron destruidos a mediados del siglo XIX, cuando la isla fue ocupada por los esclavistas. Debido a la extinción de la cultura, el único sistema de escritura de la isla aún no ha sido descifrado por los científicos. | es | Investigadores de la establecieron que el de los habitantes de no poseen rastros de otras civilizaciones de antes de la llegada de los navegantes europeos a la isla.

en | Firefox 3 downloads smash 5m mark
Tom Espiner ZDNet.co.uk
Downloads of Mozilla's Firefox 3 web browser have already passed the five million mark, approximately halfway through its 24-hour world-record attempt period.
The Mozilla team had aimed to exceed the 1.6 million downloads that Firefox 2 achieved in the first day of its release period, and had hoped for five million downloads for Firefox 3 in its first 24 hours of release, to set a Guinness world record.
Approximately 14 hours after its release, Firefox 3 passed the five million download mark. President of Mozilla Europe, Tristan Nitot, told ZDNet.co.uk that he felt as though he was in "a dream".
"We have exceeded our wildest expectations," said Nitot. "I'm so proud of the community. Five million downloads in 14 hours is mind boggling. I'm just concerned it's a dream and I'm going to wake up."
Nitot said it was difficult to predict what the final number of downloads would be, but that the total could reach eight million.
"Europe is just waking up, so we expect a few more million," said Nitot. "I don't know where it will end up, but we could get seven or eight million [downloads]."
Mozilla aimed to set a Guinness world record for the total number of downloads of a piece of software in a 24-hour period. As part of its marketing effort, it encouraged users to pledge to download Firefox 3 on its release, and to hold download parties.
The release was scheduled to begin at 6pm BST on Tuesday 17 June. However, the release could not begin as planned as Mozilla's servers had problems, which were exacerbated by the number of people wishing to download Firefox 3, according to Mozilla.
Nitot said that the main problems had begun before Firefox 3 had been released.
"It's true that downloads have exceeded out wildest dreams, but there was a failure even before the sites were open," said Nitot.
A Mozilla spokesperson confirmed that there had been problems migrating the servers, but said that the issues were fixed an hour later.
"There were a few technical issues migrating the sites and servers, then we went live an hour later," said the spokesperson.
A post by Mozilla marketing co-odinator Melissa Shapiro on the Mozilla blog on Tuesday, at the beginning of the release, said that the interest in Firefox 3 had been "overwhelming", and that Mozilla servers were under pressure.
"The outpouring of interest and enthusiasm around Firefox 3 has been overwhelming (literally!)," wrote Shapiro at the time of the release. "Our servers are currently feeling the burn and should be back to normal shortly. Download day will officially commence once the site goes live. The 24-hour period will be clocked from that moment."
As a consequence of the release being delayed for an hour, Firefox 3's 24-hour world-record download attempt period will end on Wednesday at 7pm BST.

Mozilla's new browser Firefox 3.0 has been downloaded over 8 million times in 24 hours. The Mozilla Foundation has encouraged users worldwide to download their latest browser in an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records, with what is referred to as Download Day 2008. The target of five million downloads was reached long before the 24 hour period was over.
The 24 hour download session ended at 18:16 UTC on June 18th, one hour later than the original time of 17:00. This delay is due to technical problems which included the servers being overwhelmed. For a while after the specified launch time, the Firefox website linked to a download for Firefox 2.
Over 2.88 million of the downloads were from the European Union; 2.56 million were from the United States.
The unofficial, unaudited final number of downloads during the 24 hour marathon was 8,320,331. This figure still needs to be checked by the Guinness Book of Records for validity.
If the unofficial figure is accurate, almost 100 copies of the application were downloaded every second.
John Lilly, the CEO of Mozilla commented on the release of Firefox 3. “We’re really proud of Firefox 3 and it just shows what a committed, energized global community can do when they work together,” he said. |
en | The Firefox web browser is on track to set a record for the number of downloads in one day – although it had to overcome early jitters.
The new 3.0 version of Firefox, the second most popular web browser on the market, has already been downloaded by millions of people as its creators attempt to set a world record to mark the relaunch.
Plans did not run smoothly, however, as the race hit a roadblock soon after it began at 6pm last night. Servers belonging to Mozilla, the company which makes Firefox, ground to a halt as initial interest overwhelmed the company with traffic.
Many potential downloaders were left disappointed, as the Firefox website refused to work or failed to deliver the new program.
It was four hours before service was back to normal, taking some of the shine off the stunt, but downloads soon reached rates of up to 14,000 per minute, Mozilla said.
The company played down the glitch, with Mozilla vice president Paul Kim saying only that the systems were "quite busy".
"We're thrilled with the response to the release," said Kim. "Our systems were quite busy earlier this morning, so individual requests may not have gotten through, but they are all up now and serving a tremendous amount of traffic and downloads."
Although the stunt was guaranteed to work – there was previously no such category acknowledged by Guinness World Records – it will still take up to a week for the results to be ratified and officially recognised.
The revamped system, which includes improved security and performance features, hopes to build on its initial success and grab more market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
According to figures from Net Applications, Firefox is currently used by 18.4% of browsers worldwide, trailing Internet Explorer's 73.8% share of the market, but ahead of Apple's Safari with 6.3%.
Progress has been slow since Firefox arrived with a bang in 2004 as the first significant challenger to Microsoft for several years. The complete market domination of Internet Explorer over Firefox's predecessor, Netscape, had previously been a central plank in the US government's antitrust case against the Seattle software giant in the 1990s. | en | view full size image)

Mozilla Releases Firefox 3 and Redefines the Web Experience
Major performance enhancements and revolutionary “Awesome Bar” make Firefox 3 the fastest, smartest, most powerful browser Mozilla has ever released
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. - June 17, 2008 - Mozilla today released Firefox® 3, a major update to its popular and acclaimed free, open source Web browser. Firefox 3 is the culmination of three years of efforts from thousands of developers, security experts, localization and support communities, and testers from around the globe.
Available today in approximately 50 languages, Firefox 3 is two to three times faster than its predecessor and offers more than 15,000 improvements, including the revolutionary smart location bar, malware protection, and extensive under the hood work to improve the speed and performance of the browser.
“We’re really proud of Firefox 3 and it just shows what a committed, energized global community can do when they work together,” said John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla.
What’s New in Firefox 3:
The Web is all about innovation, and Firefox 3 sets the pace with dozens of new features to deliver a faster, more secure and customizable Web browsing experience for all.
User Experience. The enhancements to Firefox 3 provide the best possible browsing experience on the Web. The new Firefox 3 smart location bar, affectionately known as the “Awesome Bar,” learns as people use it, adapting to user preferences and offering better fitting matches over time. The Firefox 3 Library archives browsing history, bookmarks, and tags, where they can be easily searched and organized. One-click bookmarking and tagging make it easy to remember, search and organize Web sites. The new full-page zoom displays any part of a Web page, up close and readable, in seconds.
Performance. Firefox 3 is built on top of the powerful new Gecko 1.9 platform, resulting in a safer, easier to use and more personal product. Firefox 3 now uses less memory while it’s running, and its redesigned page rendering and layout engine means users see Web pages two to three times faster than Firefox 2.
Security. Firefox 3 raises the bar for security. The new malware and phishing protection helps protect from viruses, worms, trojans and spyware to keep people safe on the Web. Firefox 3’s one-click site ID information allows users to verify that a site is what it claims to be. Mozilla’s open source process leverages the experience of thousands of security experts around the globe.
Customization. Everyone uses the Web differently, and Firefox 3 lets users customize their browser with more than 5,000 add-ons. Firefox Add-ons allow users to manage tasks like participating in online auctions, uploading digital photos, seeing the weather forecasts, and listening to music, all from the convenience of the browser. The new Add-ons Manager helps users to find and install add-ons directly from the browser.

en | Firefox 3’s First 24 Hours
It’s been a very busy 24 hours for Mozilla folks around the world — as our 24 hour initial period draws to a close, I wanted to put a few things into perspective. This is the first post of what will no doubt be many analysis posts, so here are a few things that have happened during the first official day of Firefox 3 life:
A little more than 8.3 million downloads (this isn’t our official Guinness number — that will be a little lower as we weed out over counts over the next few weeks)
Firefox 3 market share has grown to about 4% worldwide
People in around 200 different countries have downloaded, with 16 countries north of 100k copies
Top 10 countries so far: US, Germany, Japan, Spain, UK, France, Iran, Italy, Canada, Poland
757 Parties around the world
And if you’re interested in what our network has been doing over that time period:
83 terabytes served in total
(that works out to nearly 8 1/2 full copies of the US Library of Congress’ print collection or a million copies of the new Coldplay album)
At the peak, we were serving 17,000 downloads a minute (283 per second!), and saw sustained download rates in excess of 4,000/minute
Our peak mirror throughput during the period was 20 gigabits/sec (a huge thanks goes to everyone who helped to create our unbelievably great mirror network)
So a good day’s work by everyone involved. Like everything that’s Mozilla, this involved people far beyond Mountain View, and far beyond the borders of any one company or group. More to come… | en | view full size image)

en | Abstract
Dust formation in supernova ejecta is currently the leading candidate to explain the large quantities of dust observed in the distant, early Universe. However, it is unclear whether the ejecta-formed dust can survive the hot interior of the supernova remnant (SNR). We present infrared observations of ~0.02 of warm (~100 K) dust seen near the center of the ~10,000 yr-old Sgr A East SNR at the Galactic center. Our findings signify the detection of dust within an older SNR that is expanding into a relatively dense surrounding medium (n e ~ 100 cm−3) and has survived the passage of the reverse shock. The results suggest that supernovae may indeed be the dominant dust production mechanism in the dense environment of early Universe galaxies. | fr | Image de , prise à bord de SOFIA.

Using NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), an international scientific team discovered that supernovae are capable of producing a substantial amount of the material from which planets like Earth can form.
These findings are published in the March 19 online issue of Science magazine.
"Our observations reveal a particular cloud produced by a supernova explosion 10,000 years ago contains enough dust to make 7,000 Earths," said Ryan Lau of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
The research team, headed by Lau, used SOFIA's airborne telescope and the Faint Object InfraRed Camera for the SOFIA Telescope, FORCAST, to take detailed infrared images of an interstellar dust cloud known as Supernova Remnant Sagittarius A East, or SNR Sgr A East.
[image-51]
The team used SOFIA data to estimate the total mass of dust in the cloud from the intensity of its emission. The investigation required measurements at long infrared wavelengths in order to peer through intervening interstellar clouds and detect the radiation emitted by the supernova dust.
Astronomers already had evidence that a supernova’s outward-moving shock wave can produce significant amounts of dust. Until now, a key question was whether the new soot- and sand-like dust particles would survive the subsequent inward “rebound” shock wave generated when the first, outward-moving shock wave collides with surrounding interstellar gas and dust.
"The dust survived the later onslaught of shock waves from the supernova explosion, and is now flowing into the interstellar medium where it can become part of the 'seed material' for new stars and planets," Lau explained.
These results also reveal the possibility that the vast amount of dust observed in distant young galaxies may have been made by supernova explosions of early massive stars, as no other known mechanism could have produced nearly as much dust.
"This discovery is a special feather in the cap for SOFIA, demonstrating how observations made within our own Milky Way galaxy can bear directly on our understanding of the evolution of galaxies billions of light years away," said Pamela Marcum, a SOFIA project scientist at Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
SOFIA is a heavily modified Boeing 747 Special Performance jetliner that carries a telescope with an effective diameter of 100 inches (2.5 meters) at altitudes of 39,000 to 45,000 feet (12 to 14 km). SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center. The aircraft observatory is based at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center facility in Palmdale, California. The agency’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, is home to the SOFIA Science Center, which is managed by NASA in cooperation with the Universities Space Research Association in Columbia, Maryland, and the German SOFIA Institute at the University of Stuttgart.

es | Aumenta a 34 el número de muertos por la violencia en la selva amazónica peruana
BAGUA, Perú (AFP) — El saldo de muertos por enfrentamientos entre policías e indígenas aumentó a 34 este domingo en una zona de la selva norte peruana, que está ahora bajo toque de queda y férreamente militarizada, mientras que el gobierno nacional y los nativos se responsabilizan mutuamente.
"Hay 23 policías y 11 nativos muertos, eso es lo que puedo certificar oficialmente", anunció este domingo el ministro de Defensa, Antero Flores Aráoz a la AFP, al dar el nuevo saldo de las 24 horas de terror vividas entre viernes y sábado en la región de Bagua, 1.000 km al norte de Lima.
Flores Aráoz resaltó que "la cifra de policías puede aumentar porque aún hay dos o tres desaparecidos".
Los indígenas evalúan entre 30 y 50 los civiles fallecidos por la represión policial, según dijo Shapiom Noningo, presidente de la Comisión de Pueblos Indígenas Amazónico.
El balance oficial de víctimas hasta el sábado era de 31 muertos, de los cuales 22 policías y nueve civiles.
Las muertes se produjeron durante la recuperación violenta el viernes de una carretera en la selva norte de Perú que había sido tomada por indígenas, y durante las protestas en las siguientes 24 horas, que incluyeron el secuestro de 38 policías por un millar de indígenas. De los 23 policías muertos, 16 de ellos fueron degollados y acuchillados por los indígenas, según testimonios de los policías que sobrevivieron al secuestro.
El presidente, Alan García, calificó de "barbarie y salvajismo" estas muertes, mientras decretó este domingo como día de duelo nacional, por lo que la bandera ondeaba a media asta en el palacio presidencial.
Los acontecimientos de Bagua son los más violentos en lo que va del segundo mandato de Alan García.
La Defensora del Pueblo, Beatriz Merino, recorrió en Bagua los hospitales, morgues, comisarías y cuarteles del ejército para verificar en el lugar la el número de víctimas y de heridos y detenidos. La Defensora señaló que hay 39 civiles detenidos y 153 civiles heridos y hospitalizados, de los cuales la mayoría había sido dada de alta.
En Bagua, la calma retornaba gradualmente conforme pasaban las horas, producto de la militarización de la ciudad desde el sábado, cuando el gobierno decretó un toque de queda de tres de la tarde a seis de la mañana, que fue respetado sin ningún incidente, comprobó la AFP.
Este domingo, había poca gente en las calles, mientras organizaciones civiles, con colaboración de la Iglesia, intentaban que 200 indígenas que se escondían en Bagua fueran llevados hacia sus lugares de origen.
El abogado a cargo del operativo, Santos Esparza, dijo a la AFP: "Estamos recogiendo a los indígenas que están escondidos en casas atemorizados para remitirlos a sus zonas de origen, con ayuda de la Iglesia. Hemos hablado con la Policía y ellos dicen que no va a haber problema, pero hay temor".
En paralelo los dirigentes amazónicos reclamaron "al Gobierno que constituya una comisión nacional de alto nivel con presencia de la Defensoría del Pueblo y de observadores internacionales para que imparcialmente investiguen los hechos y determinen las responsabilidades", dijo Noningo.
Noningo se presentó como el nuevo interlocutor de los dirigentes indígenas ante el gobierno en reemplazo de Alberto Pizango, en la clandestinidad después de que el gobierno ordenara su detención por los delitos de sedición y conspiración.
Según la ministra peruana del Interior, Mercedes Cabanillas, Pizango podría haberse refugiado en Bolivia. En La Paz, fuentes gubernamentales dijeron a la AFP que no tienen conocimiento de que Pizango se encuentre en Bolivia.

Más » | es | 22 indígenas y 11 policías muertos, por lo menos unas 100 personas heridas, así como 38 policías rehenes es el saldo de una violenta jornada de desalojo de un grupo manifestante indígena que mantiene bloqueado un tramo de la carretera de Loreto, en la Amazonía Peruana.
Los manifestantes son por lo menos 2500 indígenas, quienes desde hace 10 días tienen obstuídos unos 10 kilómetros de la carretera conocida como la "curva del diablo" para exigir al gobierno la derogatoria del decreto 1090 "Ley Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre", por medio del cual, de acuerdo con los manifestantes, se vulneran sus derechos de propiedad sobre sus tierras comunales y ancestrales.
El desalojo se inició desde las 05:00 horas locales (10:00 UTC) por orden del presidente Alan García quien afirmó que "llegó el momento de abrir las carreteras y asumir las responsabilidades", agregando que "por más respeto que se tenga al diálogo y a las personas, tenemos que aplicar las leyes porque el país también quiere orden" y que "se está rechazando algo que se desconoce. Cuando se habla sin leer y se rechaza ideológicamente, solo por rechazar, se cometen graves errores", refiéndose al desconocimiento del texto del decreto por parte de los protestantes. Según las declaraciones del mandatario, de actuar de acuerdo a las solicitudes de los grupos indígienas nunca se habrían podido explotar durante los últimos 30 años los yacimientos selváticos petroleros del Oleoducto Nor Peruano. El presidente del Consejo de Ministros Yehude Simon ha hecho un llamado a los líderes indígenas para establecer una mesa de diálogo, pero los representantes de las comunidades se han negado a asistir.
Por su parte, el líder indígena Alberto Pizango calificó los hechos como "una matanza a manos del Gobierno como parte de un plan de entrega de los recursos naturales a empresas extranjeras que incluye privatizar nuestras tierras". De acuerdo con la Ministra del Interior Mercedes Cabanillas, Pizango habría abandonado en las últimas horas la zona de bloqueos para solicitar asilo político en Bolivia. |
en | The attack appears to have been well organised
They struck after dark, targeting an outbuilding with a car bomb and following up with another bomb, gunfire and grenades, US officials said.
According to the US military, at least 40 militants were involved.
The attack came hours before the new parliament finally elected a speaker, choosing a Sunni Muslim for the post.
Hajim al-Hassani, the current industry minister, was chosen in a secret ballot with Hussain al-Shahristani, a Shia Muslim, and Aref Taifour, a Kurd, elected as his deputy speakers.
The appointment of a Sunni is designed as a gesture to that minority which largely boycotted January's elections, having held sway over Iraq during Saddam Hussein's regime.
Sunnis have also for the most part stayed away from the country's new security forces, although senior Sunni clerics have recently urged their followers to join up.
Many of the militants fighting the new US-backed forces and targeting US soldiers are based in the Sunni community.
As parliament met, an unexplained explosion in the city sent smoke billowing into the sky.
Surprise attack
US guards at Abu Ghraib fought the attackers for about an hour on Saturday evening, calling in helicopters and tanks to restore control.
A new explosion rattled nerves in the Iraqi capital on Sunday
At least one militant was killed and it was expected that more would be confirmed dead later, US spokesman Lt Col Guy Rudisill said.
Of the US injured, only a few had serious wounds, he added.
Some witnesses said the second car bomb had gone off while US troops were trying to evacuate the casualties from the first blast.
The jail has been targeted before with mortars.
Lt Col Rudisill said the US had had some intelligence that "something like this might happen".
"But we really don't know why this large-scale attack happened tonight," he added.
Notorious jail
More than 3,000 detainees are held at the jail on the outskirts of the capital, Baghdad.
It was at the centre of a scandal last year over the abuse of prisoners by US guards and before that was one of Saddam Hussein's most feared jails.
The latest attack came as both US and Iraqi officials said the level of violence had gone down since January's elections.

W sobotę wieczorem więzienie Abu Ghraib na przedmieściach Bagdadu zostało zaatakowane przez bojówki irackie. Rannych zostało 12 więźniów i 44 żołnierzy amerykańskich. Do ataku doszło po zmierzchu. Bojówkarze - których było około 40 - wysadzili przed budynkiem bombę ukrytą w samochodzie, po czym zaatakowali z użyciem broni palnej, granatów i kolejnego ładunku wybuchowego.
Odparcie ataku z wykorzystaniem czołgów i helikopterów i odzyskanie kontroli nad sytuacją w więzieniu zajęło Amerykanom około godziny. Zginął co najmniej jeden iracki bojówkarz. Kilku żołnierzy amerykańskich odniosło ciężkie obrażenia.
W Abu Ghraib przebywa około 3000 więźniów. To właśnie tam w ubiegłym roku doszło do skandalu związanego z poniżaniem irackich więźniów przez amerykańskich strażników.
Kilka godzin po ataku iracki parlament wybrał swojego przewodniczącego. Został nim sunnita, Hajim al-Hassani. Sunnici w większości zbojkotowali ostatnie wybory parlamentarne w Iraku. |

Chile 31/03/2010 - 15:05:16 6. Un tsunami puede tener diez o más olas destructivas en 12 horas; procure tener a mano ropa de abrigo, especialmente para los niños.
Juan
Chile 31/03/2010 - 15:04:01 5. Tenga siempre presente que un tsunami puede penetrar por ríos, quebradas o marismas, varios kilómetros tierra adentro, por lo tanto hay que alejarse de éstos.
Juan
Chile 31/03/2010 - 15:02:57 4. Si Usted se encuentra en una embarcación, diríjase rápidamente mar adentro. Un tsunami es destructivo sólo cerca de la costa. De hecho a unos 5.600 mts. mar adentro o a una altura mayor a 150 mts. sobre el nivel del mar tierra adentro Ud. puede considerarse seguro.
Juan
Chile 31/03/2010 - 15:01:51 3. La mitad de los tsunamis se presentan, primero, como un recogimiento del mar que deja en seco grandes extensiones del fondo marino. Corra, no se detenga, aléjese a una zona elevada, el tsunami llegará con una velocidad de más de 100 Km/h.
Juan
Chile 31/03/2010 - 15:00:39 2. Si es alertado de la proximidad de un maremoto o tsunami, sitúese en una zona alta de al menos 30 mts. sobre el nivel del mar en terreno natural.
Juan
Chile 31/03/2010 - 14:59:24 1. Si vive en la costa y siente un terremoto lo suficientemente fuerte para agrietar muros, es posible que dentro de los veinte minutos siguientes pueda producirse un maremoto o tsunami.
Juan
Chile 31/03/2010 - 14:56:11 El USGS en su web earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes publica que hacer antes, durante y después de un sismo (earthquake), incluso si quedas atrapado, tambien el sitio www.angelfire.com/nt/tsunamis/ informa como actuar en caso de tsunami. Sería bueno propagarlo en escuelas, juntas vecinales, etc

Chile 31/03/2010 - 13:25:01 Como se les puede creer a los galoneados de la armada si toda la vida le han sacado el poto a la jeringa, desde la DICTADURA, vivo carca del SHOA y ahí pasan solo los suboficiales y si pasa ALGO, no pueden comunicarle a su superior, porque está durmiendo. Es una falta grave. TODOS MIENTEN..

Valpo 31/03/2010 - 13:09:45 Supuestamente son expertos en oceanografía, pero afirman que no tienen información sobre los epicentros de los terremotos.¿Cómo pueden actuar en caso de tsunami? No entiendo este informe . tampoco aclaran el confuso primer fax chacotero, cuyo título decía una cosa y su texto otra.

Servicio Hidrográfico y Oceanográfico de la Armada de Chile (SHOA, Spanish for Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Chilean Navy) released a report last Tuesday amidst public criticism of its response to the tsunami that hit the coast of Chile on February 27. The agency recognized the difficulty of arriving at every member of its Maritime and Naval networks. It reported that the tsunami warning was activated at 03:51 local time (06:51 UTC), 17 minutes after the earthquake, due to the delay of an ONEMI operator, whose identity "was not possible to determine"; the operator sent the alert via fax.
The warning was ended at 04:56 local time (07:56 UTC) by SHOA director Mariano Rojas, who has since been dismissed.
Despite the late tsunami warning, the Army said that it was an "adequate time for emergencies of this nature, considering the time required to obtain the information on the epicentre and magnitude."
The tsunami arrived at the following times, as the Army reported:
* Pichilemu: 03:48 (06:48 UTC); 04:15 (07:15 UTC).
* Constitución: 03:49 (06:49 UTC); 04:17 (07:17 UTC); 04:50 (07:50 UTC); 05:20 (08:20 UTC).
* San Antonio: 03:50 (06:50 UTC); 04:20 (07:20 UTC).
* Talcahuano and Dichato: 03:54 (07:54 UTC); 05:30 (08:30 UTC): 06:00 (09:00 UTC); 06:40 (09:40 UTC).
* Juan Fernández Islands: 04:25 (07:25 UTC); 04:40 (07:40 UTC).
* Valparaíso: 04:51 (07:51 UTC); 04:50 (07:50 UTC); 05:20 (08:20 UTC): 05:40 (08:40 UTC). |
