#F8 #news Is Facebook Charging Users or Is It Just Another Viral Hoax?





By IBTimes Staff Reporter | September 25, 2011 5:12 PM EDT
The latest rumor circulating online asserts that Facebook will begin charging users for membership. The rumor is gaining traction due to a chain message hoax spreading virally, although the company promises "It's free and always will be."

The message comes shortly after Facebook rolled out an overhaul of new changes including Timeline profiles along with a revamped homepage.
A few versions of the chain message stating that Facebook will begin charging for the profile changes have been spreading through status updates, since the new changes emerged early last week.
"THIS IS OFFICIAL... IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS... FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES... IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON, IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NOT PAY!!" one message read.

Another message outlined the false membership subscription prices and the ability to opt out of the charge by re-posting the message.
"FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO...IT IS OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES"
While there's no telling where the chain message began, it is not the first time Facebook has been the target of hoaxes surrounding charging users to maintain their membership on the social network. Many bogus chain messages and groups, like one group created in 2010 called "300,000 MEMBERS NEEDED TO STOP FACEBOOK FROM CHARGING £/$14.99 A MONTH," have put forth the assertion that Facebook will no longer remain a free service.
The ongoing rumor continues to resurface every so often, regardless of the fact that Facebook has a message on its homepage reading, "It's free and always will be," when prompting its 800 million users to log in.
The chain message stating Facebook will charge a fee is proven to be just a hoax, as Facebook's advertising revenue is expected to reach $4.27 billion in 2011, according to ZDNet.

#UK #NEWS : Terrorist we can't kick out: Released after half his sentence but still 'a risk to the public'... the suicide bomb fanatic who's free to stay - thanks to his human rights



  • Eritrean-born Ali will not face deportation because judges rule he could face 'inhumane treatment'
  • The Home Office is appealing the decision and pledges to try to have him removed from the UK
By Chris Greenwood

Last updated at 11:41 PM on 25th September 2011
A fanatical terrorist has escaped being thrown out of the UK because it would breach his human rights.

Hate-filled Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali, graded the highest possible risk to the public, was released after serving just half of his nine-year sentence for helping the July 21 bombers.

He now mingles freely among the Londoners his co-plotters tried to kill six years ago.
Threat: Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali has been using public transport

Government officials are desperate to deport the Islamic fundamentalist back to his native Eritrea but have been told they cannot because he could face ‘inhumane treatment or punishment’.

Ali was convicted of helping a gang of five Al Qaeda suicide bombers in their bid to repeat the carnage of the attacks of July 7, 2005, two weeks later.

Graham Foulkes, whose 22-year-old son David was killed on July 7, said he was ‘filled with despair’.

He said: ‘These people were plotting to commit mass murder - what about the human rights of victims and families?

‘These people had no consideration for the women and children they were trying to kill. How can they claim we should look after and support them?’

Accomplice: Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali knew about the terrorist plot and failed to tell the authorities

The case is the latest to highlight how human rights laws have left the authorities powerless to remove some terrorists and convicted criminals.

Imposed human rights laws have left the authorities powerless to remove some terrorists and convicted criminals. Imposed by unaccountable European judges, they place the rights of the most dangerous wrongdoers above the risks faced by ordinary people.
The five would-be suicide bombers were jailed for life after trying to detonate bombs at Shepherd’s Bush, Warren Street and Oval Tube stations and on a bus in Shoreditch.

Ali, 35, knew about the potentially murderous July 21 conspiracy and helped the fanatics clear up their explosives factory.
He was jailed for 12 years in  February 2008 for aiding and  abetting the Al Qaeda cell. Judge Paul Worsley QC said he must have ‘harboured the hope’ the bombers would ‘destroy society as we know it’.
The sentence was reduced to nine years on appeal and after time Ali spent in jail while awaiting trial was taken into account, he was automatically released on licence several weeks ago. He is now living at a bail hostel on a leafy residential street in north-west London. He has been seen travelling on the Tube and catching buses.
With music headphones plugged into his ears and a bag slung casually across his shoulder, he appeared to be caught on camera chatting on a mobile phone.
It is understood that Ali is being monitored around the clock and must obey a curfew and other conditions, including a ban on using the internet.
He is the second high-risk terrorist linked to the July 21 attacks to win the right to remain in the UK on human rights grounds in recent weeks.
Still here: Ismail Abdurahman also helped the July 21 plotters and has since escaped deportation

Ismail Abdurahman, 28, who hid would-be bomber Hussain Osman for three days, escaped being deported to his native Somalia after judges feared for his safety. Abdurahman is also living at a bail hostel in London despite the protests of police and Home Office officials.
The release of Ali and Abdurahman underlines the challenges faced by police, probation and MI5.  There are fears that they will be stretched to the limit as they try to monitor dozens of freed fanatics in the run-up to the Olympics next year.
Research by one think-tank found that more than 230 people have been convicted of terrorist offences since 2001, but only around 100 remain in prison.
Under Article 3 of both the European Convention on Human Rights, and Labour’s Human Rights Act, individuals are protected against torture, inhuman or degrading treatment.
The clause allows foreign terror suspects to fight deportation on the grounds that they would be tortured in their home countries if returned.
In February, Lord Carlile warned that European judges have turned Britain into a ‘safe haven’ for foreign terrorists.
Appalling legislation: Tory MP Pritti Patel says the law needs to be changed

Tory MP Priti Patel said: ‘This is yet another example of how we have got to abolish this appalling human rights legislation that allows terrorists and violent criminals to waltz out of prison and stay in our country.
‘They should be deported instantly back to where they came from.’
Solicitor Cliff Tibber, who represents the families of several July 7 victims, said: ‘There is no doubt it is uncomfortable for the families to see someone like this back on the streets after what feels like an extremely short period of time.’
A UK Border Agency spokesman said: ‘We will do everything we can to remove this individual from the UK and are extremely disappointed by the court’s decision to grant bail, which we vigorously opposed.
‘In the meantime, we are working closely with public protection agencies to ensure that appropriate monitoring is in place.’
A Ministry of Justice spokesman insisted that public protection remains ‘top priority’ and that serious offenders face ‘strict’ controls and conditions.

The worse their crime, the more they're protected

ANALYSIS by JAMES SLACK
Such is the perversity of human rights law that the worse the crime, the easier it is for the culprit to dodge deportation.
This is particularly true when countries with a history of ill-treatment and torture, such as Eritrea and Somalia, are involved.
The British government will at least try to persuade the courts to send the convict back home.
Flashback: A London double-decker bus targeted by bombers during the 7/7 attack. A judge said the failed 21/7 bomb plot could have caused even more carnage
Flashback: A London double-decker bus targeted by bombers during the 7/7 attack. A judge said the failed 21/7 bomb plot could have caused even more carnage
But, when the foreign prisoner appeals, he will say that the gravity of his offence means he now has notoriety back home, and that he therefore will be a marked man to his homeland’s security services.
Routinely, prisoners claim they will be met from the plane and immediately tortured.
The British courts normally agree not to deport them – creating the bizarre situation where a terrorist or a killer has more chance of being allowed to stay in the UK than a foreign shoplifter or a simple failed asylum seeker.
Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali certainly falls into the category of being an evil man, given that he knew of the July 21 bomb plot, but did nothing to alert the authorities.
Chilling evidence: A handwritten note detailing the make-up of devices used during the 21/7 bomb attack found in Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali's flat

He was brought up in the same foster family as July 21 conspirator Yassin Omar, and lived in the flat directly above Omar’s eighth-floor bomb factory.
He was also a close friend of  ringleader Muktar Said Ibrahim,  who had a key to his flat and often stayed there.
Ali housed the members of the plot when the fumes in Omar’s bomb factory became overwhelming, and helped with the clear-up afterwards. At Ali’s home, police found handwritten documents relating to the construction of the bombs ripped up in his waste paper bin.
On one piece of paper were the words ‘detonator, charge and Allah’ in Arabic.
The second man linked to July 21 who is using human rights law to dodge deportation, Ismail Abdurahman, showed a similar hatred for the British public.
The Somalian provided a safe house for Shepherd’s Bush bomber Hussain Osman before he fled the country on July 26, 2005.
He also acted as a ‘runner’, retrieving a video camera and passport for Osman. The camera was apparently used to record suicide messages.
The judge who jailed five men convicted of helping the bombers, including Ali and Abdurahman, said they had shown no remorse.
Paul Worsley, QC, said: ‘You concealed your knowledge of the would-be bombers who were set to inflict even greater devastation than that of 7/7 which claimed the lives of 52 innocents.
‘You then helped them escape justice, leaving them free to strike again.’
It is a bitter irony that human rights judges have now decided that – regardless of the enormity of their crimes – they should be free to stay in Britain for good.

UK police arrest seven in anti-terrorism sting

Updated September 20, 2011 05:26:11
British police said they have arrested six men and a woman in Birmingham as part of a major counter-terrorism operation.
The men, aged between 25 and 32, were detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism in Britain, Birmingham-based West Midlands Police said in a statement.
Unarmed officers arrested the male suspects at or close to their homes in Britain's second biggest city between 11:30pm on Sunday and 1:00am on Monday (local time), it said.
In addition, a 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of failing to disclose information which could have been used in assisting the prevention of an act of terrorism, police said.
Police said the suspects were being held for questioning in the Birmingham area.
"The operation is in its early stages so we are unable to go into detail at this time about the nature of the suspected offences," police assistant chief constable Marcus Beale said.
"However, I believe it was necessary to take action at this time in order to ensure public safety."
Police said the arrests were not connected to the conference of the Liberal Democrat party, the junior partner in the coalition government, currently taking place in Birmingham.

    Three men from Birmingham who were arrested a week ago as part of a major operation by counter-terrorism police in the Midlands have been charged with plotting a suicide bombing campaign in the UK.
    Two of them, Irfan Nasser and Irfan Khalid, aged 30 and 26 and from the Sparkhill and Sparkbrook areas, also face charges of making a martyrdom film, travelling to Pakistan for training in terrorism – including bomb making, weapons and poison making – collecting money for terrorism, and constructing a home-made explosive device.
    Ashik Ali, 26, from Balsall Heath, was charged with collecting money for terrorism, stating an intention to be a suicide bomber, and involvement in recruiting others for terrorist acts.
    A fourth man, Rahin Ahmed, 25, from Mosely, was charged with assisting others to travel to Pakistan for terrorism training, and investing and managing money for terrorist acts.
    It is alleged that between Christmas Day 2010 and 19 September this year, they were preparing, or helping others prepare, to commit acts of terrorism.
    Two other men, Bahader Ali and Mohammed Rizwan, aged 28 and 32 and from Sparkbrook, were also charged with failing to disclose information. It is alleged that between 29 July and 19 September this year, both had information which they knew may help prevent the commission of an act of terrorism.
    Bahader Ali, who is Ashik Ali's brother, was also charged with terrorist fund raising.
    Last week's arrests were unarmed, pre-planned and intelligence-led, according to West Midlands police, which added that a seventh man from Birmingham, aged 20, continues to be questioned. Officers have until Thursday to charge him, release him, or apply for a further warrant of detention.
    The six charged men will appear at West London magistrates court in Hammersmith on Monday.
    The arrests took place from 11.30am on Sunday 18 September, with the last suspect detained at about 1am on the Monday morning. The raids took place in several deprived areas of the city that have sizeable Muslim populations.
    The operation involved MI5, with officers from Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command supporting the Birmingham-based force.
    West Midlands police said last week the "large-scale operation" had been running for some time and had been subject to regular review, adding that the action was necessary "in order to ensure public safety".

Tony Blair’s Six Secret Meetings With Muammar Gaddafi

Economy, Global News, Government, JPMorgan, Libya, Middle East, Muammar Gaddafi, Politics, Tony Blair, U.K.

p 25




- (Telegraph, Sep. 24, 2011):

Tony Blair’s close relationship to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has come under fresh scrutiny after it emerged he had six private meetings with the dictator in the three years after he left Downing Street.
Five of those meetings took place in a 14-month period before the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber.
Mr Blair is coming under increasing pressure to make public details of all his meetings and discussions with Gaddafi. It follows the disclosure in The Sunday Telegraph last week that on at least two occasions Mr Blair flew to Tripoli on a private jet paid for by the Libyan regime.
Among the new meetings uncovered by this newspaper is a visit to Gaddafi in January 2009, when JP Morgan, the US investment bank which pays Mr Blair £2  million a year as a senior adviser, was trying to negotiate a deal between the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) and a company run by the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a friend of Lord Mandelson. The multi-billion dollar deal, which later fell through, would have seen the LIA provide a loan to Rusal, the world’s largest aluminium producer.
JP Morgan’s involvement in the deal is revealed in an email sent to the LIA by the bank’s vice-chairman, Lord Renwick, in December 2008, in which he sought to “finalise the terms of the mandate concerning Rusal before Mr Blair’s visit to Tripoli”.
JP Morgan said Mr Blair had no knowledge of the Rusal proposal. A spokesman added: “JP Morgan declined to participate on such a transaction and thus Mr Blair was never involved, and it was never discussed with him.”
A spokesman for Mr Blair said: “Neither Tony Blair nor any of his staff raised any issue to do with a Russian aluminium company.” He added that the “bulk of the conversations” with Gaddafi had been about Africa and how Libya could develop infrastructure. While Gaddafi raised the issue of Megrahi’s release, Mr Blair always repeated that “it was a matter for the Scottish government”, the spokesman added.
Global Witness, an anti-corruption campaign group which obtained the Rusal email, said Mr Blair’s links to the LIA raised potential conflicts of interest between his roles as a Middle East peace envoy, fund-raiser in Africa and business adviser. Robert Palmer, a spokesman, said: “It’s hard to see how being Middle East peace envoy squares with doing business with a tyrant.”
Mr Blair’s spokesman said: “Tony Blair has never had any role, either formal or informal, paid or unpaid, with the Libyan Investment Authority or the Government of Libya and he has not and has never had any commercial, business or advisory relationship with any Libyan company or entity.”
This newspaper can also disclose that the Foreign Office granted a visa for Gaddafi’s daughter Hana to come to Britain last year, even though she was supposedly killed in a US bombing raid in 1986. Evidence has also emerged of the full extent of Britain’s deals with Khamis Gaddafi, the tyrant’s feared son, whose Khamis brigade has been accused of committing atrocities.

Blair had six 'secret meetings' with Gaddafi

London, Sept 25 (ANI): Tony Blair had held secret talks with Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi six times in three years after he stepped down as British Prime Minister, it has emerged.
According to the Telegraph, five of those meetings took place in a 14-month period before the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber. arlier it was revealed that on at least two occasions Blair flew to Tripoli on a private jet paid for by the Libyan regime.

Após desentendimento, estudante de 17 anos foi até a casa do funcionário da escola e efetuou vários disparos
Um aluno da Escola Estadual Pedro Aleixo, no bairro Mangabeiras, região Centro-Sul de Belo Horizonte, é suspeito de tentar matar o auxiliar de serviços gerais Marco Túlio Miranda Dias, de 38 anos, na manhã de ontem, no bairro Serra.

De acordo com a Polícia Militar (PM), o rapaz de 17 anos foi até a casa de Marco Túlio e, armado com um revólver calibre 38, atirou várias vezes na direção dele. As balas perfuraram a porta da casa do servidor, mas ele não foi atingido. Segundo a polícia, o motivo para a ameaça seria um desentendimento que ocorreu durante a semana.

A vítima, que foi agarrada pelos cabelos, teve ferimentos na boca e arranhões por todo o corpo. A mulher suspeita de agredir a jovem pode pegar de um a três anos de prisão por lesão corporal. Além disso, ela pode ser condenada a prestar serviço voluntários para a comunidade.

No bairro Gameleira, na região Oeste de Belo Horizonte, um adolescente de 12 anos, foi apreendido, anteontem, após ameaçar duas meninas que estavam na porta da Escola Estadual Doutor Paulo Diniz Chagas. De acordo com a Polícia Militar, ele teria intimidado as garotas com um revólver.

O adolescente fugiu quando percebeu que outras pessoas tinham percebido que ele estava armado, mas foi encontrado em casa pelos policiais.
Professora deve ter alta
Deve receber alta entre a próxima terça e quarta-feria, a professora de português Rosileide Queiros de Oliveira, de 38 anos, que foi baleada por um aluno de 10 anos, na última quinta-feira, dentro de uma escola em São Caetano do Sul, no ABC paulista. O menino pediu para ir ao banheiro e quando voltou atirou na professora dentro da sala onde estavam 23 crianças. Após o crime, ele se matou com um tiro na cabeça.

#RIO Aposentado morre na porta do Hospital de Saracuruna




POR PEDRO DE FIGUEIREDO
Rio - O aposentado Calistrato Martins, de 87 anos, morreu na tarde deste domingo na porta do Hospital de Saracuruna, em Duque de Caxias, na Baixada Fluminense, enquanto aguardava atendimento médico. O idoso acabou morrendo dentro do carro, e a família soube que não havia maca, nem maqueiro para levá-lo a emergência.

Na manhã deste domingo, Calistrato caiu no banheiro de casa. Por volta de 12h30, a filha dele, Maria Rita do Vale, que é auxiliar dentista de uma firma tercerizada que atua no próprio hospital, chegou ao local com o pai. Foi quando recebeu a informação da falta de equipamentos para encaminhá-lo ao setor de atendimento.

Cerca de 20 minutos após chegar ao local, o aposentado acabou falecendo. Segundo a família, funcionários do hospital tentaram retirar o corpo do carro onde chegou para tentar atendimento mas os familiares impediram. Policiais civis estão no local e já colhem as primeiras informações com os parentes, que estão inconsoláveis na porta do hospital, aguardando a remoção do corpo do idoso. "O sentimento é de muita revolta, porque a gente vê acontecer com os outros, mas, nunca imagina que vai acontecer com a gente", disse Maria Rita.
Idosa segue na UTI de hospital

A Secretaria Estadual de Saúde do Rio de Janeiro informou neste domingo que a idosa encontrada viva pelos familiares no necrotério do Hospital Estadual de Saracuruna (Adão Pereira Nunes), em Duque de Caxias, segue internada na Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo (UTI) da instituição. Rosa Maria Celestrino de Assis, 60 anos, apresentava quadro de saúde inalterado nesta manhã.

A direção do hospital abriu sindicância para apurar as circunstâncias do atendimento à paciente. O médico que emitiu a declaração de óbito pediu demissão, e os demais profissionais envolvidos no caso foram afastados.

Segundo a Secretaria de Saúde, às 10h de sexta-feira Rosa Maria deu entrada na unidade com atrofia cerebral com múltiplas áreas de sequela de infarto. Avaliada pelo clínico geral e pelo neurocirurgião, foi constatado um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) e uma pneumonia que seria a causa do quadro de infecção generalizada.

Às 19h20, ainda segundo a secretaria, houve piora do quadro e constatação de morte pelo médico plantonista. No entanto, por volta das 22h os familiares foram fazer o reconhecimento do corpo no necrotério e perceberam que a paciente apresentava movimentos musculares involuntários. Ela foi levada para a Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), onde permanece internada.

(SUS) Saúde de Curitiba na UTI


  25/09/11 às 20:42  |  * Josianne Ritz com a colaboração dos editores do Jornal do Estado.
O prefeito de Curitiba, Luciano Ducci, é médico e servidor de carreira da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde, que comandou entre 2006 e 2010, acumulando o posto com o cargo de vice-prefeito. A proximidade de Ducci com o tema, porém, não parece ter produzido grandes resultados para os curitibanos que dependem da saúde pública. Pacientes do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) na Capital com problemas graves continuam correndo o risco de morrerem antes de conseguirem atendimento especializado. Depois de esperar quase um ano para conseguir um exame de tomografia, uma moradora de 64 anos da Vila Hauer, que já foi vítima de um AVC, tem hipertensão e problemas cardíacos, foi informada pelo posto de saúde municipal que terá que esperar até mais dois anos para conseguir uma consulta com um neurologista para que o resultado do exame seja analisado. Longe de ser um caso isolado, o episódio se repete em outras áreas, onde faltam médicos especialistas — e a espera por atendimento é a regra. Enquanto isso, o prefeito ocupa a propaganda partidária para exaltar a suposta excelência dos serviços de saúde de sua administração.

Menos declarações
O volume de declarações de utilidade pública na pauta de proposições da Assembleia Legislativa no último mês diminuiu sensivelmente. Embora isso ocorra habitualmente à medida que avançam as legislaturas, desta feita há outro motivo para tanto: está em vigor desde o dia 1º de agosto, data em que foi sancionada e publicada em Diário Oficial, a Lei nº 16.888, aprovada pelos parlamentares e nascida de uma iniciativa do deputado Luiz Eduardo Cheida (PMDB), que torna mais exigentes os requisitos a serem seguidos para a concessão desses títulos. A declaração de utilidade pública confere tratamento diferenciado a instituições que o detêm, como a possibilidade de receber recursos públicos, isenção de taxas e tributos, regime de preferência na distribuição de verbas destinadas a ações sociais e descontos tributários em relação aos encargos sociais. A lei atual, ao contemplar critérios mais objetivos para a concessão do benefício, deixa de fora as Organizações Sociais de Interesse Público (OSIPs), cooperativas e outros.

Contas Públicas (I)
O balanço das contas públicas do segundo quadrimestre do ano será apresentado pelo secretário da Fazenda, Luiz Carlos Hauly, em audiência pública, hoje, no Plenário da Assembleia Legislativa, a partir das 14h30. Em junho, quando falou sobre os dados dos primeiros quatro meses de 2011, Hauly frisou que o governo está cumprindo as metas da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (LRF), apesar das dificuldades com o orçamento elaborado pelo governo anterior. Na oportunidade ele falou também da aprovação, no final do governo passado, de gastos permanentes que sobrecarregaram os cofres públicos.

Contas públicas (II)
Ainda naquela ocasião, o secretário destacou que o Executivo trabalha para ampliar a capacidade de investimento do Estado em várias frentes. As audiências públicas na Assembleia acontecem em cumprimento à Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal e são oportunidades em que o Governo Estadual, através da Secretaria da Fazenda, presta contas e divulga o cumprimento das metas fiscais à sociedade paranaense. Estas sessões ocorrem três vezes ao ano, quando são apresentadas as contas públicas relativas ao 1º, 2º e 3º quadrimestre do exercício orçamentário. Para visualizar os relatórios, o cidadão pode acessar o site www.gestaododinheiro publico.pr.gov.br.

Rampa
Dentro da política de recuperação do patrimônio público, a Assembleia Legislativa realiza amanhã pregão presencial para manutenção e reparos na rampa de acesso ao prédio do Plenário. O valor máximo do objeto será de R$ 327.934,40. A licitação acontece às 10 horas, na Diretoria de Apoio Técnico (DAT), no 4º andar da sede do Legislativo. A rampa, que tradicionalmente é utilizada na posse dos governadores do Estado, quando prestam compromisso perante a Assembleia Legislativa antes de se encaminhar à sede do Executivo, era subutilizada. Após a reabertura do acesso pelo edifício Tancredo Neves, em fevereiro deste ano, e também com a retirada das grandes ao redor da Praça Nossa Senhora de Salete, onde se localizam os gabinetes parlamentares, a rampa agora facilita o acesso ao Plenário.

Novela da Pedreira
A poucos passos de reabrir. É assim que o vereador Jonny Stica (PT) resume a situação da Pedreira Paulo Leminski, fechada desde março de 2008 por ordem judicial. A conclusão do vereador tem motivos: a perícia técnica, que servirá como base para qualquer decisão tomada no processo, foi entregue e juntada ontem aos autos. “Com isso, está aberto o caminho para um acordo entre as partes, que pode ser firmado já em outubro”, afirma o vereador, que encabeça a campanha “A Pedreira é Nossa!”. Nesta última quinta-feira, o parlamentar, juntamente com integrantes do movimento, foi até a 4ª Vara da Fazenda Pública para conversar com a juíza que hoje é responsável pelo processo, Mariana Fowler Gusso. Ela afirmou ao vereador que vai buscar da forma mais ágil possível a solução para o caso. “Temos certeza que a perícia foi positiva e possibilitará a assinatura de um Termo de Ajustamento de Conduta (TAC) bem amarrado, com limites de horários e outras diretrizes relativas à organização dos eventos”, completou Jonny Stica. O TAC deverá ser assinado entre o Ministério Público, autor do processo, e a Prefeitura, que é ré, mas envolveria também os produtores locais e moradores da região. O abaixo-assinado iniciado pelo movimento “A Pedreira é Nossa!” pedindo a reabertura do espaço já está com 17,5 mil assinaturas.

LOA
A Prefeitura apresentará amanhã a proposta da Lei Orçamentária Anual (LOA) de 2012, em audiência pública no Memorial de Curitiba, com início às 10 horas. As prioridades no investimento dos R$ 5,03 bilhões previstos no orçamento de 2012 foram discutidas com a população em audiências públicas nas nove regionais. Da estimativa de R$ 5,03 bilhões de orçamento para 2012, a área de saúde receberá R$ 987,9 milhões, a de Educação terá investimentos de R$ 821,5 milhões e as obras públicas, R$ 426 milhões. O orçamento de 2012 é 8% maior que o atual — R$ 4,66 bilhões.

Em alta
O governo federal deverá aumentar em cerca de 50% o investimento na área de TRANSPLANTES de órgãos e tecidos em relação ao ano passado. Foi o que informou ontem o coordenador do Sistema Nacional de Transplantes do Ministério da Saúde, Héder Borba. Em 2010, o investimento foi de R$ 2 bilhões.

Em baixa
A atual projeção do Banco Central (BC) de crescimento de 4% do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) para 2011 deve ser revisada para baixo e apresentada no Relatório de Inflação no fim do mês, caso a turbulência econômica global persista, admitiu o presidente da instituição, Alexandre Tombini. Segundo o BC, há um risco maior de agravamento da crise global.

Azerbaijan completes transition to market economy, says economic development minister





  2011-09-26 06:05:52
BAKU, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Azerbaijan has totally finished a transition to market economy, the country's minister for economic development Shahin Mustafayev said Sunday.
According to the minister, investments in Azerbaijan's economy have exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars since its independence 20 years ago.
Roughly half of the amount was foreign investment, and the bulk of them is in the energy sector, Mustafayev said at a conference marking the 20th anniversary of Azerbaijan's independence.
From 1995 until 2003, Azerbaijan's annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged 9 percent, average monthly salary increased 5.3 times, foreign direct investments increased ten times, state budget revenues increased three times and inflation decreased to 2-3 percent, he said.
From 2004 to 2011, Azerbaijan recorded an annual GDP growth of 14 percent. Its GDP per capita increased by five times.

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah gives women right to vote, run in municipal elections

Saudi King Abdullah announced on Sunday he was giving women the right to vote and run in municipal elections, the only public polls in the ultra-conservative Gulf kingdom.

He also announced that women would have the right to join the all-appointed Shura (consultative) Council, in an In a five-minute speech opening a new term of the council.
“Because we refuse to marginalize women in society in all roles that comply with sharia, we have decided, after deliberation with our senior ulama (clerics) and others... to involve women in the Shura Council as members, starting from the next term,” he said in a speech delivered to the advisory body.

“Women will be able to run as candidates in the municipal election and will even have a right to vote.”

Women’s rights are regarded as a litmus test for the government’s appetite for social and political reform. Saudi Arabia adheres to a strict version of Islamic law that enforces the segregation of the sexes.

“This is great news,” said Wajeha al-Huwaider, a Saudi writer and women’s rights activist, according to Reuters. “Women’s voices will finally be heard.”

“Now it is time to remove other barriers like not allowing women to drive cars and not being able to function, to live a normal life without male guardians.”

The king did not address the issue of women being allowed to drive. Although there is no written law against women driving, they are not issued licenses, effectively banning the practice.

Women in Saudi Arabia must also have written approval from a male guardian – a father, husband, brother or son – to leave the country, work or even undergo certain medical operations.

Those changes will come after municipal elections this Thursday, for which women have been barred from voting or standing office.

After entering the Shura Council chamber leaning heavily on a cane, King Abdullah, who is thought to be 87 or 88, read only a section of a longer prepared statement that was later released in full by the authorities.

The part he did not read included reference to Saudi foreign policy including the kingdom’s continued support for a Gulf-brokered plan for a power transition in Yemen.

King Abdullah has long been pushing cautious political reforms, but in a country where conservative clerics and senior members of the ruling family oppose even minor changes, liberalization has been very gradual.

He built a new university for students of both sexes and encouraged women to participate more in the labor market.

A campaign this summer by women who broke Saudi law by driving on the kingdom’s city streets prompted some arrests.

Saudi Arabia will hold only its second nationwide elections in recent memory on Thursday for seats on municipal councils, but critics of the ruling al-Saud family say the poll, in which voting is limited to men, is a charade.

Supporters of the absolute monarchy say the elections are designed to give Saudis a greater say in politics, but critics point out that the elections are for only half the seats on councils that have few powers.

The Shura Council, which vets legislation but cannot veto it or enforce changes, is fully appointed by the king.

“Despite the issue of the effectiveness of these councils, women’s involvement in them was necessary. Maybe after women join there will be other changes,” said Naila Attar, who organized a campaign Baladi (Arabic for My Country) calling for women’s involvement in the municipal council elections, according to Reuters.

“I believe this is a step to involve women in the public sphere. It is the top of the pyramid and a step in the direction for more decisions regarding women.”

#NEWS #TWITTER #MEXICO: Decapitated woman mourned by social media website



Nuevolaredo en vivo screengrab
REPORTING FROM MEXICO CITY -- A woman found decapitated in the border city of Nuevo Laredo is being mourned as an apparent member of a social networking site used by local residents to share information on drug cartel activity.
The victim was found early Saturday with a note nearby saying she was killed for posting messages online about violent or criminal incidents in Nuevo Laredo.
The Tamaulipas state attorney general's office identified the woman as Maria Elizabeth Macias Castro, 39, and said she was an editor at the newspaper Primera Hora (links in Spanish). The Associated Press, however, quoting an employee of the newspaper, identified the victim as Marisol Macias Castaneda, and said she held an administrative and not an editorial post at Primera Hora.
A web search of the newspaper's website found no mention of the woman's death or the discovery of a decapitated female body on Saturday.
But on the website Nuevo Laredo en Vivo, a banner image appeared memorializing a member known as NenaDLaredo. "You'll always be present," the display says.

At Saturday's grisly scene, the message left with Macias's body makes reference to the site and NenaDLaredo in particular, saying: "Nuevo Laredo en Vivo and social networking sites, I'm the Nena de Laredo, and I'm here because of my reports, and yours."
The message was tagged with multiple Z's, indicating a link to the violent Zetas cartel.
A blogger and Twitter user known as @OVEMEX, who said he is based in northern Mexico and monitors social media, told The Times via email Sunday: "Apparently, from checking out the forum, which for the most part has been moved to private, it is her. Or at least she has not come back online to dismiss her own decapitation."
Social media sites have been essential outlets for Mexicans seeking to monitor or report on violent incidents and other activities linked to organized crime, as local news organizations frequently silence themselves under pressure from political or criminal forces. Primera Hora, for instance, is said to be a property of Nuevo Laredo's mayor, the daily Excelsior reported (link in Spanish).
The shift toward crowd-sourced drug-war reporting in Mexico has resulted in tension between social media users and local governments. The state of Veracruz attempted to try a man and woman for terrorism and sabotage for allegedly igniting a panic over attacks on schools in late August. The government later dropped the charges.
Earlier this month, two people were found mutilated and hanging from a Nuevo Laredo bridge alongside messages threatening social media users, but whether those victims were killed for posting messages on the Internet has not been corroborated by authorities or reliable news outlets.

Woman journalist is decapitated by Mexican drugs cartel over comments she made on social networking site

By The Associated Press

Last updated at 7:44 PM on 25th September 2011
Police found a woman's decapitated body in a Mexican border city on Saturday, alongside a handwritten sign saying she was killed in retaliation for her postings on a social networking site.
The gruesome killing may be the third so far this month in which people in Nuevo Laredo were killed by a drug cartel for what they said on the internet.
Morelos Canseco, the interior secretary of northern Tamaulipas state, where Nuevo Laredo is located, identified the victim as Marisol Macias Castaneda, a newsroom manager for the Nuevo Laredo newspaper Primera Hora.

The newspaper has not confirmed that title, and an employee of the paper said Macias Castaneda held an administrative post, not a reporting job. The employee was not authorised to be quoted by name.
But it was apparently what the woman posted on the local social networking site, Nuevo Laredo en Vivo, or 'Nuevo Laredo Live,' rather than her role at the newspaper, that resulted in her killing.

 

The site prominently features tip hotlines for the Mexican army, navy and police, and includes a section for reporting the location of drug gang lookouts and drug sales points — possibly the information that angered the cartel.
The message found next to her body on the side of a main thoroughfare referred to the nickname the victim purportedly used on the site, 'La Nena de Laredo,' or 'Laredo Girl.'
Her head was found placed on a large stone piling nearby.

'Nuevo Laredo en Vivo and social networking sites, I'm The Laredo Girl, and I'm here because of my reports, and yours,' the message read.
'For those who don't want to believe, this happened to me because of my actions, for believing in the army and the navy. Thank you for your attention, respectfully, Laredo Girl...ZZZZ.'
The letter 'Z' refers to the hyper-violent Zetas drug cartel, which is believed to dominate the city across from Laredo, Texas.
It was unclear how the killers found out her real identity.
By late Saturday, the chat room at Nuevo Laredo en Vivo was abuzz with fellow posters who said they knew the victim from her online postings, and railing against the Zetas, a gang founded by military deserters who have become known for mass killings and gruesome executions.

They described her as a frequent poster, who used a laptop or cell phone to send reports.
'Girl why didn't she buy a gun given that she was posting reports about the RatZZZ ... why didn't she buy a gun?' wrote one chat participant under the nickname 'Gol.'
Earlier this month, a man and a woman were found hanging dead from an overpass in Nuevo Laredo with a similar message threatening 'this is what will happen' to internet users.
However, it has not been clearly established whether the two had in fact ever posted any messages, or on what sites.
Residents of Mexican border cities often post under nicknames to report drug gang violence, because the posts allow a certain degree of anonymity.
Social media like local chat rooms and blogs, and networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, are often the only outlet for residents of violence-wracked cities to find out what areas to avoid because of ongoing drug cartel shootouts or attacks.
Local media outlets, whose journalists have been hit by killings, kidnappings and threats, are often too intimidated to report the violence.
Mexico's Human Rights Commission says eight journalists have been killed in Mexico this year and 74 since 2000.
Other press groups cite lower numbers, and figures differ based on the definition of who is a journalist and whether the killings appeared to involve their professional work.
While helpful, social networking posts sometimes are inaccurate and can lead to chaotic situations in cities wracked by gang confrontations.
In the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, just south of Tamaulipas, the state government dropped terrorism charges last week against two Twitter users for false posts that officials said caused panic and chaos in late August.

#noticias #TV La ambiciosa serie ‘Terra Nova’ debuta obligada a convertirse en un fenómeno


Fernando Mexía

Tras varios meses de retraso y una inversión de millones de dólares, la ambiciosa serie “Terra Nova” debutará mañana en la televisión de EEUU, con la necesidad de demostrar que su trama está a la altura de sus costosos efectos especiales.
Calificada como la serie más cara de todos los tiempos, “Terra Nova”, combina elementos de los éxitos cinematográficos “Avatar” y “Jurassic Park” para llenar el hueco dejado en las parrillas por la popular “Lost”.
La serie cuenta con un equipo de productores ejecutivos que incluye al cineasta Steven Spielberg (“Jurassic Park”) por lo que, sin que sorprenda a nadie, también ofrece la comprobada fórmula de combinar los viajes en el tiempo y el drama de sobrevivir en un entorno hostil.
En su debut de dos horas y en horario de máxima audiencia, los mortíferos osos polares y misteriosos humanos letales de “Lost” serán reemplazados en “Terra Nova” por los siempre hambrientos y temperamentales dinosaurios, cuyo ecosistema prehistórico se verá alterado por un asentamiento de humanos dispuestos a reconstruir en el pasado una civilización condenada a su extinción en el futuro.
La historia se centrará en las vivencias de la familia Shannon en el año 2149, una de las que formarán parte de la décima expedición de colonos y cuyo único escape de las restricciones de un mundo hacinado y contaminado es regresar 85 millones de años en el pasado.
La idea de los colonos es ir en busca de un paraíso en el que empezar de cero y a través del cual también el espectador descubrirá ese nuevo mundo.
Además de los peligrosos dinosaurios, los habitantes de “Terra Nova” tendrán que lidiar con la amenaza de otro grupo de pobladores, conocidos como los “Sixers”.
Según los críticos, aparte de los grandes efectos especiales, la serie presenta la historia de una familia dispuesta a luchar contra las fuerzas que amenazan con destruirla, con la que el público pueda identificarse.
La serie nace con el aval de Spielberg, que ejerce de productor ejecutivo, y se presentará con un episodio piloto de dos horas cuyo coste se situó entre 10 y 20 millones de dólares, según The Hollywood Reporter. Los capítulos siguientes, de una hora cada uno, tienen un precio medio de cuatro millones de dólares.
En total, “Terra Nova” constará de 13 programas que se emitirán semanalmente en EEUU a través de la cadena Fox, que en un principio tenía previsto lanzar la serie en enero pasado pero se vio obligada a posponer primero hasta mayo y finalmente a septiembre por problemas técnicos.
El programa se realizó en Queensland (Australia), donde el equipo sufrió intensas lluvias que llegaron a inundar el set de grabación y dificultar los rodajes y requirió de hasta 8 semanas de postproducción por episodio para crear a los reptiles gigantes, apróximadamente el doble de tiempo que un drama convencional.
La elevada inversión es una muestra de la confianza de Fox en el proyecto, que está ahora obligado a cautivar a los espectadores dentro y fuera de EEUU para que cuadren los números a final de temporada.
El propio presidente de Fox Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, dijo que “Terra Nova” era una producción “enorme”.
“Es una gran apuesta, va a ser gigante”, explicó Reilly, quien reconoció que la serie planteaba desafíos de grabación y diseño pero que tiene mucho potencial.
El reparto está encabezado por Jason O’Mara (“Resident Evil: Extinction”) como el padre de familia Jim Shannon, Shelley Conn (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) como la doctora y madre Elisabeth Shannon, Landon Liboiron (“Degrassi: The Next Generation”) como Josh, hijo de los Shannon, y Naomi Scott (“Life Bites”) como su hermana Mandy.
Entre los protagonistas se encuentra también Stephen Lang, quien retoma el papel de autoritario líder que ya interpretó en “Avatar”.
El primer capítulo de “Terra Nova” se emitirá mañana a partir de las 8 de la tarde hora local de EEUU (03.00 GMT del martes).
