LAHORE, Pakistan, May 28 (Xinhua) -- At least 42 people were killed and 41 others injured on Friday when two groups of unknown militants attacked two worship places almost simultaneously in eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, witnesses and TV channels reported.

The attacks were carried out at Garhi Shahu and Model Town Block C areas of Lahore, the capital of Punjab Province.

The militants, wearing suicide jackets and holding hand grenades,entered the worship places of a religious group Ahmadi, declared non-Muslims in Pakistan in early 1970s, and held hostage hundreds of worshipers in Garhi Shahu, witnesses said.

According to the local TV channels, almost after two hours of struggle the situation was brought under control.

Detainees came out from the Garhi Shahu worship place after police complete operation against terrorists.

Police said earlier that security forces had completed the operation at Model Town and killed five militants.

Dr Rizwan, Director General of the Police Rescue, said that 22 people were confirmed dead in Model Town area as seven militants attacked the worship place. He said that 21 people were injured who were shifted to several hospitals.

TV channels reported that 20 people were killed in Garhi Shahu area, but there was no official confirmation of these deaths.

Two suicide bombers also said to detonate their explosives in Model Town.

Both worships places are at 15 km distance. Witnesses said the attacks started shortly after prayers.

"A large number of anti-terror police, backed by armored vehicles, rushed to the sites and exchanged fire with the militants," a local resident told Xinhua.

The militants threw hand grenades as they forced their way to enter the worship place and opened fire on the worshippers and held them hostage in Garhi Shahu area, police said.

TV footage showed armed policemen surrounding the worship place. Several injured were also shown while leaving the worship place. At least one armed militant was shown taking position at the top of the worship place and firing at the police.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani strongly condemned the firing incidents at Lahore and expressed deep sorrow and grief over the loss of precious lives, the PM office said.

Gilani ordered the authorities for provision of best medical facilities to the injured. He also ordered an enquiry into the incident.

A previously unknown group identified itself as Al-Qaeda Al- Jihad Punjab Wing claimed responsibility of the incident, according to ARY news.

Ahmadi is a religious movement founded towards the end of the 19th century and originating with the life and teachings of its founder Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

Pakistan has around four million Ahmadis and is the only state to have officially declared the Ahmadis to be non-Muslims in 1974.

High oil prices disaster for Russia, says president

MOSCOW, May 28 (Xinhua) -- High oil prices were the obstacle for modernization of Russia, President Dmitry Medvedev said during his meeting with the ruling United Russia party on Friday.

"To put it bluntly, 140 U.S. dollars per barrel is a disaster for Russia as it would mean the elimination of any stimulus for development," Medvedev said.

Currently, June oil futures have been trading around 70-dollar mark. Oil prices reached historical maximum of 140 dollars per barrel in summer 2008.

Russia built a lion share of its budget surplus from oil export. However, Russian economy was not immune to the so-called "Dutch disease," an economic phenomenon typical for countries reliant on commodities export as their main source of budget intake.

High price for the raw materials on the international markets swept the export-oriented nations away of the incentives they may bear to develop other sectors of the economy.

Russian experts estimated that the "golden mean" oil price for national economy is 75 dollars per barrel.

Cissa Guimarães fala sobre sexo, filhos e homens em peça


Quando completou 50 anos, Cissa Guimarães fez um balanço da vida e percebeu que ainda não tinha produzido uma peça. Tocada pela maturidade, a atriz percebeu que muitas mulheres ainda se mantêm em casamentos infelizes. Bem diferente, a atriz, de 52 anos, já se casou três vezes e agora está “adorando ficar”. Ao ler uma crônica de Martha Medeiros sobre esse medo que as mulheres têm da solidão, no entanto, Cissa decidiu que dali nasceria a sua primeira produção teatral. Na época, Martha escrevia o livro “Doidas e santas”, no qual Regiana Antonini se inspirou para escrever a peça, de título homônimo, em cartaz no Teatro do Leblon, de quinta-feira a domingo. O espetáculo conta a história da psicanalista Beatriz que não aguenta mais a vida que leva com o marido, Orlando (Giuseppe Oristanio), e decide se separar. O Sessão Extra aproveitou questões abordadas na peça, que fazem parte da vida de qualquer mulher, para saber um pouquinho mais sobre a intimidade da atriz.

Já se sentiu uma máquina humana cumpridora de tarefas?
Sim, quando tinha filhos pequenos e vivia só cumprindo tarefas. Mas adaptei isso ao meu prazer para a vida não ser chata. Sou uma mulher que realiza as tarefas com tesão.

É uma mãe severa ou deixa correr solto?
Sou equilibrada. Posso ser muito dura, mas também deixo matar a aula.

Mulheres fazem drama o tempo todo?
Não. E os homens fazem mais drama que a gente!

O único momento que a mulher se cala é quando o homem resolve se abrir?
É, um pouquinho (risos).

O que mais a irrita num homem?
Falta de educação.

Enquanto está casada ou namorando, já se sentiu sozinha?
Algumas vezes, mas isso indica que a relação não está boa.

O que não pode faltar em um relacionamento?
Cumplicidade e sexo.

Já sentiu atração por uma mulher?
Nunca transei com mulher, mas não digo nem que sim nem que não. Tudo pode rolar na vida.

Já se relacionou com um garotão? Mudou seu linguajar para se adequar?
Já, ele era 15 anos mais novo que eu. Não precisei mudar o meu jeito, eu já falo como eles (risos).

Homem fiel costuma se vangloriar, como se merecesse algum prêmio. O que acha disso?
É da essência masculina trair, eles são os caçadores. Mas mulheres também traem. O ser humano não é
monogâmico. Adoraria ser uma das mulheres de um homem e também ter outros homens. Mas isso não tem nada a ver com orgia, hein!

Toda mulher é doida?
Toda mulher é doida, com certeza, graças a Deus.

Você está namorando?
Estou ficando. E estou adorando essa coisa de poder ficar. É uma delícia.

Giuseppe Oristanio (São Paulo, 15 de outubro de 1958) é um ator brasileiro.

[editar] Biografia

Descendente de italianos, Giuseppe Oristanio iniciou sua carreira no teatro amador, na década de 70. Em 1979 participa de sua primeira telenovela, ironicamente a última da Rede Tupi: Como Salvar Meu Casamento, que nem chegou a ter seu final exibido.

Em seguida, muda-se para a Rede Bandeirantes, na qual participa, com papéis de destaque, de novelas como Os Imigrantes (1981) e Ninho da Serpente (1982). Diminui o ritmo de trabalho na TV na década de 80, dedicando-se mais ao teatro. Entre 1982 e 1988, só participa de uma trama: Jogo do Amor, exibida em 1985 no SBT.

Em 1988 é contratado pela Rede Globo para viver, na novela Vida Nova, Giovanni Bruno, personagem real que fundou vários restaurantes na capital paulista. No ano seguinte, vai para a Rede Manchete, na qual protagoniza a novela Kananga do Japão (1989), com Christiane Torloni e Raul Gazolla. Na emissora, também participa da confusa A História de Ana Raio e Zé Trovão (1991).

De volta à Globo, trabalha nas novelas Fera Ferida (1993) e Irmãos Coragem (1995), indo em seguida para o SBT, participando de Colégio Brasil e Dona Anja, ambas de 1996. Volta à Bandeirantes para protagonizar a fracassada Serras Azuis, exibida em 1998. Na Rede Record, narra algumas minisséries bíblicas produzidas entre 1997 e 1999, atuando em uma delas: A História de Ester. Lá, também tem um dos papéis principais da apagada Tiro e Queda (1999). Volta à Globo para participar por três anos de Malhação como o professor (e depois diretor) do colégio Múltipla Escolha Afonso Malta.

Em 2005, participa da telenovela A Lua Me Disse, por enquanto seu último trabalho na emissora dos Marinhos. No ano seguinte, atua na malfadada Cristal. Voltou a ser novamente contratado da Rede Record.

Analisando a carreira de Giuseppe, nota-se que é um dos poucos atores que goza do privilégio de ter "portas abertas" em todas as emissoras, o que nem sempre acontece com alguns de seus colegas.

Paralelamente à carreira televisiva, Giuseppe Oristanio também atua em várias peças teatrais de sucesso, como Qualquer gato vira-lata tem uma vida sexual mais sadia do que a nossa, de Juca de Oliveira, e Maracutaias, de Miguel Falabella, dentre muitas outras.

Recentemente, cursou faculdade de Jornalismo, e contribui com crônicas para vários sites da internet. Giuseppe é casado e tem quatro filhos.

Passione: Danilo descobre que vai ser pai e abusa das drogas


Danilo se sente pressionado com a gravidez indesejada

Um tsumani vai passar na vida de Danilo (Cauã Reymond), em “Passione”. Ao descobrir que Fátima (Bianca Bin) está grávida de um filho seu, o ciclista vai exagerar nas drogas a ponto de desmaiar durante os treinos e ser levado para o hospital.

Danilo se desespera quando Fátima — ela o levou para o motel aproveitando que ele estava drogado —, afirma que espera um bebê dele. “É muita uruca. Eu não tenho culpa desse troço. Só quando acordei é que vi que era você do meu lado da cama. Você é louca menina!”, esbraveja.

Aos prantos, a jovem diz que não o está culpando de nada, mas que quer uma ajuda. O ciclista afirma que arranja dinheiro para ela se consultar com um médico, mas só isso. “Quem armou essa presepada foi você, me tira dessa”, implora.

Já em casa, Danilo revela o que está acontecendo à mãe, Stela (Maitê Proença). Ela o consola, entende que ele não teve culpa, mas diz que o filho terá que assumir a criança. A tensão do rapaz se reflete nos treinos. Danilo sente que está perdendo rendimento e pede que Chulepa (Gabriel Wainer) lhe dê pílulas de anfetaminas. “Você está exagerando, tomou duas agora”, alerta o rapaz.

Mas o ciclista insiste e acaba tomando mais três. À noite, Danilo se droga de novo. No treino do dia seguinte, o atleta não aguenta e desmaia em cima da bicicleta, rolando pelo chão. E é levado para o hospital por Chulepa e Sinvval (Kayky Brito).

Professor é morto ao tentar proteger família de assalto em Santo André, em SP


Plantão | Publicada em 28/05/2010 às 07h14m

Bom Dia São Paulo

SÃO PAULO - Um professor de 39 anos foi morto quando dois bandidos tentaram roubar a sua casa em Santo André, no ABC Paulista, na noite desta quinta-feira. Flávio da Silva estava no bairro na Vila Oratório e conversava no portão da garagem com um tio, por volta das 20h. Dois homens armados mandaram ele abrir a porta, mas Flávio se recusou, na tentativa de proteger sua família, que estava dentro da casa.

Um homem que passava no local disse que os vizinhos tentaram ajudar Flávio.

- Eu estava a 200 m e ouvi um tiro. Foi um desespero total, uma choradeira. A gente tentava fazer massagem cardíaca nele até os bombeiros chegaram - disse a testemunha, que não quis se identificar.

Flávio morreu antes de dar entrada no hospital. Os dois bandidos não levaram nada. Eles roubaram um carro na rua para fugir e depois abandonaram o veículo, que foi recuperado. Depois, roubaram um outro carro e fugiram em direção à capital paulista.

SERRA: “Você já ouviu falar de algum controle do governo boliviano com relação a esse contrabando?”


sexta-feira, 28 de maio de 2010 | 6:13

Por Elder Ogliari, no Estadão:
O pré-candidato do PSDB à Presidência da República, José Serra, repetiu críticas à Bolívia durante visita ao 26.º Congresso Nacional de Secretarias Municipais de Saúde ontem em Gramado, no nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul.

O tucano justificou as afirmações que fez no Rio na quarta-feira, quando acusou o governo de La Paz de cumplicidade com o tráfico de drogas, dizendo que 90% da cocaína consumida no Brasil vem do país vizinho.

Ontem, o tucano disse que está preocupado com o consumo de entorpecentes pela juventude. “A maior parte da cocaína que entra no Brasil vem da Bolívia”, destacou. “Você já ouviu falar de algum controle do governo boliviano com relação a esse contrabando?”, perguntou. “Eu nunca ouvi falar, então o que o Brasil deve fazer é conversar com o governo boliviano, fazer gestões, pressionar para que controle a exportação ilegal de cocaína para a nossa juventude.”

Estadista. O tucano ficou cerca de duas horas no evento, deixando o local às 18 horas. Ele não se encontrou com a pré-candidata Dilma Rousseff (PT), que também esteve em Gramado, mas rebateu a petista, que na parte da manhã havia dito que a posição de Serra falou sobre a Bolívia “não é papel de um estadista nem de quem quer ser estadista”. Segundo o presidenciável do PSDB, “essa é uma questão de estadista, sim, porque mexe com a vida dos brasileiros”.

Serra ressalvou que não está propondo nenhuma intervenção dentro da Bolívia. “Eu trato a Bolívia como um país independente, com autodeterminação. Mas, como a Bolívia exporta droga para o Brasil, é impossível que o governo não possa controlar isso, porque não é um caminhãozinho, é praticamente o grosso da droga, da cocaína que se consome no Brasil”, disse. “É importante ter ação diplomática decidida, pública, porque só pública é que ela tem efetividade, para frear esse contrabando, do contrário é trololó.”

Regulamentação. Ao abordar reivindicações de participantes do congresso, Serra foi mais categórico do que Dilma Rousseff ao tratar da regulamentação da Emenda 29, que deve definir atribuições da União, Estados e municípios na área da saúde e vincular uma parcela dos gastos do governo federal. “Vamos fazer a regulamentação. Se for eu, se eu tiver essa oportunidade, como espero, vamos fazer no começo do ano (2011)”, anunciou.

Na sequência, Serra alfinetou a petista, que, antes dele, havia dito que a saúde terá mais recursos graças ao crescimento do País. “O Brasil não cresce 7% ao ano e se crescer, neste ano, divide por dois e (a média) é 3%.”

O ex-governador de São Paulo também desdenhou do discurso da pré-candidata petista de que foi a oposição que derrubou a CPMF. “Foi a base do governo que derrubou”, afirmou. “O governo tem número para aprovar qualquer coisa.”

Ao longo do discurso de mais de uma hora, Serra enumerou ações que liderou e que podem servir de base para o que qualifica de “governo ativista”, entre as quais a queda de preços de medicamentos por ameaça de quebra de patentes e a absorção de outras iniciativas no Programa de Saúde da Família.

EVO, O PROTEGIDO DE LULA, DILMA, MARCO AURÉLIO E DIRCEU, CONTINUA A DIRIGIR ENTIDADE DE COCALEROS


sexta-feira, 28 de maio de 2010 | 6:15

A Rádio CBN entrevistou ontem a professora Jimena Costa, da Universidad Mayor, de La Paz, na Bolívia. Ela foi convidada a falar sobre a afirmação do pré-candidato tucano, José Serra, que apontou uma obviedade: o governo boliviano é conivente com o tráfico de cocaína para o Brasil. Ontem, vocês viram que Dilma Rousseff, Marco Aurélio Garcia e José Dirceu ficaram muito chateados com a afirmação de Serra e saíram em defesa do governo boliviano — na verdade, do aliado Evo Morales. Dilma até chegou a dizer que uma declaração como aquela não era “coisa de estadista”!!!

Pois bem. Leiam trechos do que disse Jimena Costa, que estuda o assunto. Conforme este blog vem informado, a produção da folha de coca, da pasta da coca e da cocaína refinada cresceu enormemente sob o governo Evo. E Jimena informa duas coisas que eu realmente não sabia — e me penitenciou por isso:
1 - mesmo na Presidência da República, Evo Morales continua a liderar a entidade dos cocaleros;
2 - só 3% da produção de folhas de Chapare vai para o chamado uso tradicional: marcar. Os outros 97% se transformam em cocaína, a maioria “exportada” para o Brasil.

Não obstante, o Babolirixá de Banânia lhe deu a Petrobras de presente, cedeu à chantagem no caso do preço do gás e molhou a sua administração com financiamento do BNDES. Ou seja: O BRASIL PAGA PARA, NA PRÁTICA, O GOVERNO DA BOLÍVIA METER COCAÍNA NO NOSSO TERRITÓRIO. Seguem trechos da entrevista:

AUMENTO DA PRODUÇÃO
Bom, é temerária acusação de que o governo é cúmplice do narcotráfico. O que acontece realmente na Bolívia é que não tem havido uma política séria para combater o narcotráfico.(…). Oficialmente, conhecemos, e esta é uma declaração tanto de quem dirige a unidade de luta contra o narcotráfico como da Organização das Nações Unidas, de que há 30% de aumento de produção de coca somente em Cochabamba, não se conhecem outras áreas. Mas há o aumento de produção da folha de coca. Sabemos que, hoje, na Bolívia, não somente se produz cocaína com a folha boliviana, mas também com a peruana. Se transformou em um centro de coleta e produção de cocaína.

EVO CONTINUA A LIDERAR ENTIDADE DE COCALEROS
O problema maior sempre é a ausência de números oficiais. E problema é que não há uma decisão de encarar o problema com seriedade. Em parte porque o presidente da República não renunciou ao cargo de secretário executivo da Federação de Cocaleros de Chapare.

SÓ 3% PARA MASCAR
Apenas 2% ou 3% da produção de folha de coca de Chapare vai ao mercado legal e segue para o consumo tradicional, o que implicaria que 97% vai para a produção de cocaína (…). A imprensa local nos mostra dados de que o problema do aumento da produção de cocaína na Bolívia é muito importante e que, ao mesmo tempo, por fazer parte do Movimento Cocalero, o presidente da República não pode abrir uma frente [de confronto] com a sua própria base. A erradicação não é séria. Ao contrario: tem aumentado oficialmente o número de áreas legais para a produção [folhas] de coca.

CONSUMO E PRODUÇÃO DE COCAÍNA SE ALASTRAM
Um problema muito profundo é também de aumento de consumo local, e creio que é uma das maiores dores de cabeça do governo boliviano, porque as notícias são semanais, e estamos chegando a um extremo. Durante este ano, uma comunidade inteira bloqueou caminhos e acelerou os conflitos, solicitando sua incorporação, sua anexação, a um município vizinho em que existe a autorização de produção de chá de coca. A comunidade disse que é mais rentável produzir coca do que produzir outra coisa (…). No ano passado, você viu a notícia de uma comunidade na qual todos os habitantes eram produtores de cocaína, colhiam coca e, em suas casas, produziam cocaína. Haviam mudado as técnicas: antes, eram todas de maceração. Com isso, supomos que são técnicas colombianas: com lavadoras de roupas e microondas para a cristalização. Quero dizer que há ai uma situação muito mais preocupante do que havia há cinco anos. E não estão tomando as medidas que realmente podem enfrentar o problema.

Voltei
É isso aí. Agora falta Lula sair em defesa do “meu (dele) querido Evo”.

PERDEU, CARA!


sexta-feira, 28 de maio de 2010 | 6:21

A resposta da secretária de Estado dos EUA, Hillary Clinton, ao governo brasileiro foi tão dura quando se pode ser na diplomacia. A proposta do Brasil e da Turquia faz o “mundo mais inseguro, não menos”, disse Hillary. Não há nada pior a dizer sobre um país no ambiente internacional. E isso significa que não se negocia a partir daí. A decisão é de Barack Obama, não de Hillary, é óbvio.

Trata-se de um golpe nas ambições megalonanicas muito maior do que, na média, acusa a imprensa brasileira — que ou demora a reagir ou serve, vergonhosamente, ao lobby do muitas vezes desastrado Itamaraty. Por quê? Sei lá… Está um tanto viciada nos supostos sucessos de Lula. Convencionou-se por aqui, com raras exceções, que, se ele diz que algo vai acontecer, então é porque vai. E a situação pode assumir um aspecto verdadeiramente surrealista a depender do caso.

É impressionante que, contra os fatos, a pregação do Itamaraty e de Lula ainda encontre eco por aqui. O Irã deixou claro que não abre mão de enriquecer o urânio em seu próprio território. A tal troca era só uma firula. Tenta-se, com a gritaria, mudar uma evidência. Lula está acostumado. É assim que age no ambiente interno. Fala o que lhe dá na telha e não é contestado. Conta a história como lhe convém. No caso do Irã, meteu-se num vespeiro certamente maior do que imaginava. Erro de cálculo do Itamaraty.

Há um conjunto de fatores que concorre para isso. O leitor sabe que, nos Estados Unidos, sou republicano, assim como, em Dois Córregos, torço para o Mocoembu, não para o Botafogo local. Mas é fato que, se John McCain tivesse vencido a disputa, talvez o governo americano estivesse mais aberto a uma intermediação como a brasileira ou, sei lá, tivesse sido menos rápido em desmoralizar o acordo com a proposta de sanções. O passivo dos republicanos nessa área seria, sem dúvida, bem maior. Obama, ao contrário, está livre para não responder pelos “erros” (concorde-se ou não com essa avaliação) do antecessor. O Itamaraty certamente não pôs essa questão na balança.

O Brasil também apostava num Obama “fraco”. Escrevi aqui durante a campanha eleitoral americana que boa parte dos que torciam pela eleição do democrata apostava, no fundo, que ele seria um presidente “antiamericano”, o que era uma bobagem. Por mais que não tenha, e não tenho, especial simpatia pelo atual titular da Casa Branca, ele é quem é, e isso significa incorporar todos os que o antecederam. Parte do seu papel nem depende de sua vontade.

“Nova estratégia”?
Veio a publico justamente ontem o documento com a Estratégia de Segurança Nacional do governo democrata — apresentado justamente por Hillary, que deu um pito no Brasil. Obama tem, sim, um viés, digamos, meio lulesco, especialmente no hábito de oferecer mais do mesmo como se fosse uma revolução. É o caso do documento — e já deixo claro em que ponto essa questão se conecta com o resto do meu texto.

No que um articulista do New York Times interpretou como um dos “tapas” em George W. Bush, Obama afirma que o peso do novo século não pode cair só nos ombros dos americanos e diz que os adversários da América gostariam de ver o páis nfraquecido pelo exercício excessivo do poder. O documento afirma a importância da diplomacia etc e tal… Mas atenção!

“Porquanto o uso da força seja às vezes necessário, nós vamos sempre esgotar as outras opções antes da guerra e pesar cuidadosamente o peso e o risco da ação e da inação (…)”. Quando necessário, “vamos buscar um amplo apoio internacional, trabalhando com instituições como a Otan e o Conselho de Segurança da ONU”. Bush dizia que os EUA não precisavam de permissão para agir, Obama escreve que os “EUA se reservam o direito de agir unilateralmente, se necessário, para defender nossa nação e nossos interesses”, mas sempre respeitando regras.

Isso “enterra” a doutrina Bush, como se vai dizer no Brasil? Não! Essa é a doutrina de segurança dos Estados Unidos. O que Obama está dizendo é que ele pode fazer o mesmo, só que com o coração partido e batendo um papinho. Volto ao Brasil.

De volta ao Brasil
O Brasil enxergou no governo Obama uma janela de oportunidades — um pouco, assim, como se o galo tivesse saído para dar uma ciscada, e o terreiro tivesse sido confiado aos frangotes. E se meteu na aventura iraniana. De fato, Obama enfrenta um combate acirrado dos republicanos, que ainda duvidam — e levam essa dúvida a milhões de americanos — que ele possa ser o homem certo para defender os EUA de seus inimigos. Por lá, o confronto é aberto, e ninguém considera sabotagem um partido de oposição fazer… oposição!!!

Isso torna o atual presidente dos EUA um pouco menos Obama do que o Obama que foi eleito? Sim! Mas sempre foi uma tolice supor que uma abordagem como a brasileira, de protagonismo irresponsável, tivesse chance de prosperar. E, agora de acordo com o documento, os EUA podem ser acusados de qualquer coisa no caso do Irã, menos de “unilateralistas”. Na sua ação, conta com o apoio dos cinco membros permanentes e da maioria esmagadora do Conselho de Segurança e com o quase consenso da Europa. Isolado, nessa questão, está o Brasil.

Perdeu, Cara! A bravata foi desmoralizada. Pede pra sair!

Marvell backs Android-based OLPC XO-3 tablet

www.zdnet.co.uk


After the OLPC XO-1 laptop, the One Laptop Per Child foundation is setting in motion plans to create a working $100 tablet for CES 2011. Marvell Technologies announced on Thursday that it will partner with the foundation to create the hardware for the proposed tablet, currently named the XO-3.

Vague details and product renderings of the $100 (£69) XO-3 tablet first surfaced last December. More concrete specifications are now taking shape, including an ambitiously low power rating of 1 watt per hour — compared with the 5 watts per hour required by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) laptop. Other promised features include a multilingual, multitouch screen keyboard with haptic feedback, Wi-Fi, high-quality video (1080p full-HD encode and decode), integrated video and still cameras, high-performance 3D graphics, Flash 10 and two-way teleconferencing.

The backbone of the XO-3 will be an ARM processor — likely the Marvell Armada 610 — with initial models running a version of Google's Android OS. As with the OLPC laptop, these initial models will be sold within developed nations, subsidizing the less-expensive $75 version (running the open-source, educational Sugar OS) distributed to children and institutions supported by the foundation.

For more on this story, see Marvell backs ambitious $100 OLPC tablet on CNET News.

'I am the crossbow cannibal': 'Ripper' suspect charged with murder of three prostitutes in extraordinary court appearance


By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 10:32 AM on 28th May 2010

'Crossbow cannibal': Stephen Griffiths has been charged with murdering three prostitutes

A criminology student who appeared in court today charged with the murders of three prostitutes told the hearing his name was 'the crossbow cannibal'.

Former public schoolboy Stephen Griffiths, 40, is accused of killing Suzanne Blamires, Shelley Armitage and Susan Rushworth, who all went missing in Bradford.

Griffiths, who was wearing a black shirt and navy blue jeans, appeared at Bradford Magistrates' Court and was remanded to appear at the city's crown court later today.

Asked to confirm his name he said 'the crossbow cannibal'.

Police are understood to be investigating CCTV footage showing a man aiming a crossbow at a woman believed to be one of the victims.

Relatives of some of the victims stared intently at Griffiths, who was flanked by guards in the dock of the court.

He stood to give his 'name' at the end of the brief hearing.

At other times he sat, fidgeting and touching his head, or staring silently at the floor.

Some relatives wiped away tears at the start of the proceedings.

It emerged yesterday that Griffiths benefited from a high quality education at a £9,000-a-year day school and went on to a top university.

Despite a fine start in life, the criminology student soon became obsessed with the history of serial killers and descended into a seedy, internet-addicted existence in a housing association flat.

In addition, his parents split when he was young.

Today, salesman’s son Griffiths, 40, will appear before magistrates accused of the murders of former nurse Suzanne Blamires, 36, Susan Rushworth, 43, and Shelley Armitage, 31.

Police sources confirmed they are investigating at least three other unsolved murders of prostitutes in West Yorkshire.

But last night, in a dramatic widening of the inquiry, it emerged that two decades of files on women who have either vanished or been attacked in red light districts in Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester are being checked for possible links to the case.

Even as the charges were being announced, an exhaustive investigation was already under way into Griffiths’s life and dealings with prostitutes.

A source linked to the inquiry said: ‘We are concerned there is more to this investigation than meets the eye. It may not be just about Bradford.’

Griffiths was arrested on Monday after police were handed graphic CCTV footage showing a prostitute being killed.

Body parts of missing prostitute Suzanne Blamires, 36, were later found dumped in bags in a river and yesterday a major police operation was continuing to find the remains of the other women Susan Rushworth, 43, and Shelley Armitage, 31.

Last night there were claims that aleast one other set of remains has been located, near to those of Miss Blamires.

Crime analysts and specialist search advisors are helping murder squad officers build up a profile of Griffiths’s lifestyle, movements and regular travel patterns.

Details of the charges were announced yesterday afternoon after Griffiths was interviewed by police for three days.

Although West Yorkshire Police have yet to find all of the bodies Peter Mann, a senior Crown Prosecution Service lawyer, said there was ‘sufficient evidence’ to charge Griffiths with three counts of murder.

Extraordinary details have emerged of how the death of a woman, understood to be Miss Blamires, was captured on CCTV inside a block of flats.

The footage showed the woman being attacked and apparently knocked unconscious.

The shocking incident took place over the weekend and police were called in when the footage was seen by the building’s caretaker.

Armed police raided Griffiths’ flat on Monday and he was handcuffed and arrested in front of shocked neighbours.

The human remains were spotted by a member of the public five miles away in the River Aire in Shipley the next day.

Although Griffiths was widely regarded as a ‘weirdo’ and loner, he benefited from a public school education and has spent the best part of a decade at university.

The son of a frozen food company rep and a telephonist, Griffiths spent three years at the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

It is not known if his parents, who are not wealthy, paid the full fees or if he benefited from a subsidised place or a scholarship.

Serial killer John Haigh – known as the ‘acid bath murderer’ – also attended Queen Elizabeth Grammar School. He was hanged in 1949 after confessing to nine murders in London and Sussex, dissolving the bodies in concentrated sulphuric acid.

Yesterday former neighbours described Griffiths’ family when Stephen was a child as ‘very weird.’

He shared a council semi in Wakefield with his two siblings and mother Moira. The children never played outside and were considered ‘nerds’.

Stephen was once seen out in the garden killing and dissecting birds.

Griffiths went on to take a degree in psychology and developed an obsessive interest in serial killers.

For the past six years he has been a mature student at Bradford University taking a PhD in criminal justice studies and specialising in homicide. The university authorities refused to confirm details of his course.

The three ‘murder victims’ were all prostitutes struggling with a drink and drugs habit. They were also friends and lived closed to each other.

Miss Rushworth, a grandmother, vanished last June, then a month ago Miss Armitage disappeared. Miss Blamires, who lives just three streets from her, went missing last Friday.

Griffiths is due to appear before Bradford Magistrates this morning and will be remanded in custody to appear before a judge at the city’s Crown Court in the afternoon.

Bradford 'Ripper' suspect: The loner who created a dark and disturbing alter ego in cyberspace

By Paul Harris

The cosmopolitan bustle of a city such as Bradford could easily have allowed Stephen Griffiths to enjoy an ordinary, comfortable life. He could have got a job, found some friends, and slipped quietly into everyday anonymity.

But Stephen Griffiths was not interested in being ordinary. And, as we now know, he certainly didn't want to be anonymous.

Outwardly, he was a 40-year-old oddball - an unmarried, unattached, ex-public schoolboy and perpetual student who never really grew up. In his mind, he was 'Ven Pariah', the confident, dominant character of his disturbingly dark alter ego.

Parallel life: Stephen Griffiths, who is charged with murdering three prostitutes, in a photograph taken from one of his web pages

Through the unbridled freedom of the internet, he created a sinister parallel life - 'the scary image I generally project to the world', as he phrased it.

Pariah was a figure obsessed with crimes and those who commit them. His publicly declared heroes were terrorists, Nazis, outlaws and murderers.

So yesterday - as police faced the prospect that a serial killer might have murdered at least three missing prostitutes, plus others who vanished more than a decade ago - the central question was whether the fantasy world of Ven Pariah had somehow become reality for Stephen Griffiths?

There was certainly a dramatic contrast between the online character and the real thing. Locked in the seclusion of his shabbily kept third-floor flat, Griffiths would spend hours at the computer, sometimes surfing the web until well into the early hours.

The only regular company he reportedly kept there were his pet lizards - plus the mice he bred to feed them.

Griffiths lived in a converted former mill between the city centre and its red light district, where once-proud industrial buildings lie either derelict or are being turned into apartments.

A neighbour who directly overlooked his main window said Griffiths was 'always on the internet, 24/7'. Another said he was 'baffled' as to why a 40-year-old man would spend so much time indoors.

Yet it wouldn't have been difficult for anyone to make the link between Ven Pariah and Stephen Griffiths, the 6ft figure who could occasionally be seen around the cobbled backstreets.

Simply putting his name into a search would bring up a string of pages which Griffiths had created, as well as a trail to those on which he had left messages or images.

Police have shut down many of the sites as they begin to scrutinise every part of their suspect's life.

Looking deeper into the web, however, a startling insight into his dark thoughts emerges.

On Amazon, for example, he built a wish list of books and DVDs. Most were about real-life crime. They include boxed sets entitled Notorious Killers, Mass Murderers and Britain's Bloodiest Serial Killers.

Also featured are the film Ravenous, whose theme involves vampire cannibals, and David Lynch's horror movie Eraserhead.

On another web page, a line that looked as if it might have come from the Book of Ezekiel could have suggested at first glance that Griffiths had an interest in the Bible.

But the quotation - 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides' - was actually an infamous line spoken by Samuel L Jackson in Quentin Tarantino's ultra-violent movie Pulp Fiction.

Last December he reviewed a book entitled Women And The Noose, a history of female criminals and their execution. He gave it a five-star rating and wrote that author Richard Clark did a 'competent job' - and branded a previous reviewer as 'a complete imbecile'.

Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, Fred and Rose West, gangsters Bonnie and Clyde, Arab terrorists and Nazi war criminals all featured on his pages.

He joined online groups calling for independence for Yorkshire, and complained to one that Bradford was being 'over-run by chavs'.

No one seemed to recall yesterday if he ever had a full-time job after leaving school. Certainly he has spent a great deal of time in education. It is understood he did a psychology degree at Leeds University, and spent the last six years doing a PhD in criminology at Bradford.

Bradford confirmed yesterday he was a student in the Department of Social Science and Humanities, which runs criminology undergraduate courses, but declined to elaborate.

Griffiths himself had no such reluctance. He once summarised his course to a neighbour by saying he was studying Jack the Ripper and doing 'a PhD in murder'.

But if he could justify his interest in serial killers as purely academic, it appears to have become blurred by the macabre presence of his alter ego.

As Ven Pariah, Griffiths used two main images of himself, one a self-portrait taken bare-chested as he stared into a mirror. He assigned himself the age of 99 and trawled internet sites to hook in like-minded correspondents. Most of them were women. The tone of the exchanges suggests he didn't meet them face to face.

Indeed, it appears he may have watched some of them from afar. Last night it was claimed he sent 'unnerving' messages to a woman he watched leaving a yoga class that she had been conducting.

She didn't report it to police but told fellow yoga teacher Steven Johnson.

He said: 'She'd never met him or knew who he was, but got a message through MySpace saying "I saw you coming out the yoga class. You know you look all right".

She didn't reply and he didn't seem to like that so he sent another message. The messages weren't threatening or sexual. I think he was trying to be friendly, but she found it unnerving.'

At Bradford University, just a short walk from his home, Griffiths was a mature student who found himself surrounded by people half his age.

He didn't make friends easily - and nor did his fellow students try too hard to befriend him. They called him 'the weirdo' and rarely socialised, unless it was to chat about a mutual interest in music. Perhaps surprisingly, his favourites included bands such as Hot Chocolate and Queen.

He also listed reggae, punk, rap and heavy metal among his tastes, and took a keen interest in the local music scene.

The silent, solitary figure in the audience was a familiar sight at some of the venues where he indulged that interest. Often it would involve walking through the red light district on his way home - he lived less than a mile away from where girls touted for trade.

They knew him, of course - because he had started chatting to them almost as soon as he moved into the area in 1997. But he never wanted sex.

He was happy to share a cigarette with them, and would often hang around with them. One of the girls, Sarah, remembered him from as far back as 2000.

'He would always be hanging around us,' she said. 'He always told us he was gay.'

In his long, dark, leather coat, often dressed in 'Goth' style, the 40-year-old seemed at ease with them. As a child, however Griffiths was awkward and aloof.

His mother was a telephonist and his father, a frozen food company rep when Stephen was born in 1969, was often seen in a suit and tie. It wasn't that common in the area of Dewsbury where he spent his first years.

His parents split up while he was young and he lived with his mother Moira, and a brother and sister, in a council semi in Wakefield.

A neighbour who remembers them well said: 'They were odd, all of them.'

Moira didn't officially work and was believed to be on benefits. Perhaps significantly, neighbours widely believed she had a secret night-time existence.

'She used to go out most nights at 11.30 or midnight, and always seeing different men who would come and go from the house,' said the neighbour.

She vividly recalled the one and only night she agreed to go out socially with Moira. They went to a nightclub and Moira 'immediately began snogging men'.

The neighbour described Stephen and his brother Philip as 'nerds'. 'They never went out, mixed with other children in the street or played outside.'

Stephen's enthusiasm for knowledge helped to earn him a place at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Wakefield, a prestigious independent school which boasts that it 'exists to nurture respect, responsibility and the achievement of excellence'.

Fees are now more than £9,000 a year and alumni include England rugby star Mike Tindall.

The school confirmed yesterday that Griffiths attended for three years until 1986, making him a few months short of his 17th birthday when he left.

His mother, now 61, lives in a run-down block of flats behind Dewsbury station.

A neighbour there said Stephen used to visit often. 'He's a bit strange but I always thought he was harmless,' the neighbour said.

'Once I invited him to share a can of lager with me on the grass outside and it was suddenly like he was my best friend. He seemed quite lonely.'

iPad frenzy: First Apple fans get their hands on touchscreen tablets as doors finally open


By Claire Bates and Sean Poulter
Last updated at 9:27 AM on 28th May 2010

For Apple iPad fans in the UK the wait is finally over. Thousands of excited customers queued through the night to get their hands on Apple's 'Jesus tablet'.

First through the door of Apple's flagship store in Regent Street, London, was Jake Lee.

The 17-year-old from Theydon Bois in Essex had been queuing since 2pm yesterday afternoon and planned to buy the £599 32GB WiFi model.

As he entered the shop, he said: 'I'm so excited. Let's just hope my card works.'

After playing around on the gadget, he said: 'It's everything I hoped for and I can't wait to get going on it. It feels just amazing. I can't explain it - ridiculously amazing. I want a go on it now.'

Outside security men in fluorescent yellow tabards and photographers jostled alongside the noisy and excited crowds.

Celebrity tweeter and Apple fan Stephen Fry was also there.

He said: 'Just to see this is fantastic. It is a phenomenal event. There's never been anything like it.

'To say I was here is rather a nice feeling. If I was a music fan, it would be like the launch of a Lady GaGa album in the US record store - it's a momentous occasion.'

The gadget has caused a global frenzy with lines forming in cities across the world including in London, Berlin, Tokyo and Sydney. Patient customers in London were divided into groups and given queue management passes.

But suppliers warned that many in the UK would be disappointed, because Apple is rationing shipments of the device to Britain and some shops will not receive any stock until September.

Today's UK launch of the iPad - which can be used to surf the web, watch films and read books and newspapers - has already been pushed back by one month after supplies were diverted to meet unprecedented demand in the U.S.

And thousands of shoppers who pre-ordered iPads in this country will be forced to wait another ten days for their devices to be delivered.

Apple stores were due to open at 8am, with desperate customers expected to queue outside overnight. Such was the anxiety about getting hold of the gadget that one buyer paid an assistant to wait in line for him during the chilly night hours.

It is understood that iPads will initially only be available from 27 Apple stores and 139 outlets in the Dixons chain, including some branches of Currys Digital and PC World.

Other major retailers, such as Comet, John Lewis and Carphone Warehouse, may have to wait for up to ten weeks. Argos suggested it would not get hold of iPads until September.

Luke Peters, editor of technology magazine T3, said the 'breathtaking' gadget 'could well be the first true "computer for all".'

Brand expert Simon Middleton agreed, saying: 'The iPad really is a culturally significant piece of kit. It will, I confidently predict, change the way we think about mobile devices and their potential. Within months there will be rivals from other manufacturers.

'Within a couple of years we will take for granted that we can read books, papers, magazines on the move from one device, as well as web browsing, handling our email etc.'

But Kris Sangani, of E&T magazine, said it would not provide a 'like-for-like replacement for laptops or notebook PCs'.

Demand for the iPad, which costs £699 in the UK for a top-of-the-range version, has helped Apple overtake Microsoft to become the world's biggest technology company. The firm was worth £154billion, compared to Microsoft's £152billion, at close of trading in New York on Wednesday.

But excitement over the launch was dampened by the revelation that ten workers have killed themselves at the factory where the iPad is made.

The employees jumped to their deaths from the roof of the Foxconn Technology Group complex in southern China. Its 300,000 workers are paid 30p an hour.
