A Globo está fechando 2010 com um faturamento de 9,6 bilhões de reais — o que corresponde a um crescimento de 25% em relação a 2009 e a uma receita maior que o triplo da alcançada pela Record.
O Yahoo confirmou o fechamento de alguns serviços que tem "baixo desempenho", entre eles o serviço de busca AltaVista, muito popular nos anos 90, informou o site do jornal The Wall Street Journal. Entre os serviços que podem ser descontinuados estão o Delicious, serviço de compartilhamento de links, o Yahoo!Buzz, um agregador de notícias online, e outro buscador, AlltheWeb.
Um ex-funcionário da empresa, o cofundador do MyBlogLog Andy Baio postou no Twitter que a empresa pretendia encerrar alguns sites, entre eles o Delicious e o MyBlogLog. Um porta-voz do Yahoo afirmou em comunicado que "parte de nossa racionalização organizacional consiste em cortar os investimentos em produtos de baixo desempenho" e disse que a empresa pretende "colocar mais foco em nossos principais pontos fortes", segundo o jornal americano.
Na terça-feira, o Yahoo anunciou o corte de 600 empregos, ou 4% da sua força de trabalho. As demissões surgiram dois anos após Carol Bartz assumir o cargo de presidente-executiva da empresa, que busca elevar a receita em meio à forte concorrência com Google e Facebook.
Na busca por um ingresso contra o Guarani, torcedor do Fluminense passou mal na fila
Para pôr fim às bagunças registradas nas vendas de ingressos na decisão da Libertadores de 2008 (Fluminense x LDU, no Maracanã) e para o jogo da última rodada do Brasileiro deste ano (Fluminense x Guarani), o presidente eleito do clube, Peter Siemsen, pretende inovar neste ramo. O dirigente garantiu que criará um mecanismo para impedir desmandos.
O novo presidente do Fluminense, Peter Siemsen, quer benefícios para os torcedores tricolores
Torcedores do Fluminense dormiram na fila para comprar um ingresso para o jogo com o Guarani
“Estamos criando um projeto e essa é a nossa função para desenvolver um pacote combinado para os jogos da Libertadores e do Campeonato Estadual. Queremos evitar filas e oferecer mais conforto aos torcedores na hora da compra dos ingressos”, prometeu.
Contra a LDU, os torcedores ficaram horas nas filas e os ingressos foram vendidos em poucas horas. Diante do Guarani, a mesma história, mas com torcedor que passou mal e outro que acabou morrendo a caminho do hospital.
O presidente eleito, que tomará posse nesta segunda-feira, lamentou a situação financeira grave do Fluminense e avisou que uma das suas missões será a de discutir com os vários credores uma forma mais simples para as dívidas serem pagas.
“Precisamos trabalhar a renegociação das dívidas e gerar receitas maiores para o clube. Vamos tentar uma renovação melhor de contrato com o Clube dos 13 para o ano de 2012”, afirmou.
O fim do contrato com a Adidas terminará este ano e a nova direção negocia com outras empresas para fornecer material esportivo para o Fluminense. No entanto, Peter Siemsen, que deseja aumentar o valor dado pela empresa alemã (atualmente R$ 1,9 milhão por mês e mais 22 mil uniformes por ano), pretende aumentar a quantia recebida pelo clube.
“Acho que não será complicado negociar com a Adidas. Teremos uma conversa positiva e precisamos considerar que a empresa tem uma história transparente com o clube. Mas estamos ouvindo outras propostas”, encerrou.
O ditador do Sudão, Omar al Bashir, desviou até US$ 9 bilhões de seu país, a maior parte para bancos em Londres, segundo telegramas diplomáticos americanos revelados pelo WikiLeaks, informa o jornal britânico "Guardian". Os telegramas citam conversas com o promotor-chefe do Tribunal Penal Internacional.

Boa parte do recurso deve estar no banco Lloyds, segundo o promotor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, que sugeriu às autoridades americanas divulgar o tamanho do roubo de Bashir para virar a opinião pública sudanesa contra ele.
"Ocampo sugeriu que se o desvio de dinheiro de Bashir fosse divulgado (ele estima o valor em US$ 9 bilhões), isso mudaria a opinião pública sudanesa, de um 'ativista' para um ladrão", informa um telegrama de altos representantes dos EUA. "Ocampo relatou que o banco Lloyds em Londres deve estar com o dinheiro ou saber de seu paradeiro", diz o informe. "Ocampo sugeriu que expor que Bashir tem contas ilegais seria o suficiente para colocar os sudaneses contra ele", informa o "Guardian".

| Ditador sudanês no Quênia; Bashir desafia há meses a ordem de prisão, viajando por vários países africanos |
O banco Lloyds disse não ter nenhuma prova de possuir recursos em nome de Bashir. "Não temos absolutamente nenhuma prova que sugira qualquer ligação entre o grupo Lloyds e o senhor Bashir. A política do grupo é de cumprir as obrigações legais e regulamentares em todas as jurisdições nas quais opera", reporta o jornal britânico.
Se a estimativa de Ocampo estiver correta, os recursos sudaneses guardados em bancos londrinos correspondem a um décimo do PIB anual do Sudão, que é o 15º país mais pobre do mundo na lista da ONU (Organização das Nações Unidas), calcula o "Guardian".
Ocampo discutiu as provas desse desvio de dinheiro com os EUA dias antes de divulgar um mandado de prisão contra o ditador sudanês, em março de 2009, o primeiro divulgado pelo tribunal contra um chefe de Estado em exercício. Bashir foi indiciado por sete acusações de crimes de guerra e crimes contra a humanidade no ano passado, com outras três acusações de genocídio acrescentadas em julho.
Bashir desafia há meses a ordem de prisão, viajando por vários países africanos.
Ocampo nunca divulgou os detalhes desses desvios publicamente, mas foi duramente criticado pelo indiciamento por muitas pessoas no Sudão, e por pessoas na comunidade internacional temendo aumento de conflitos na região de Darfur.
A região de Darfur está em guerra civil há sete anos, com um balanço de 300 mil mortos segundo a ONU, e 10 mil segundo Cartum.

NAHA, Japan, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan on Saturday concluded a two day visit to Okinawa Prefecture on Saturday by inspecting from the air a U.S. Marine base, which is set to be relocated from a densely populated area of the main island to a less crowded area.
Following an unsuccessful meeting a day earlier with Okinawa Governor Hirokazu Nakaima who insisted the base be moved off Japan 's southwest island entirely, Kan said Saturday the trip had allowed him to exchange opinions and pave the way for further cordial dialogue.
"Although there are many differences of opinion, this visit has enabled me to discuss the issue from now on in a courteous way," Kan told a news conference before concluding his two-day visit.
Kan said that despite the fact that problems regarding the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station to the island's northeast coast remain, as yet, unresolved, it is still important for Japan to deepen its security alliance with the U.S.
Japan and the United States agreed in May to largely stick to a bilateral accord agreed to in 2006 to relocate the Futenma air base in a densely populated area of Ginowan to a less crowded coastal area in Nago in Okinawa Prefecture.
The deal has met with strong opposition from local authorities and citizens in Okinawa because Kan's predecessor, Yukio Hatoyama, reneged on a promise to move the base out of the southwest prefecture.
When Kan arrived Friday to meet with Nakaima, hundreds of local people had gathered to protest his visit with some drumming empty cans to metaphorically, yet noisily, convey their indignation to the prime minister.
"The prime minister, who has not shown any measures to resolve the issue, is like a can without anything inside," one local protester said.
The drumming cans could be heard throughout the meeting between Kan and Nakaima at the prefectural government building in Naha City.
However, Kan reiterated his promise to U.S. President Barack Obama, on the sidelines of the APEC meeting in Yokohama last month that Japan would keep to the bilateral agreement and that he would make the utmost efforts to relocate the base to a coastal area in Nago, much to the chagrin of the islanders.
Kan's itinerary Saturday took him in an aerial view of the new site for the Futenma Air Station on the island's northeast coast, as well as other facilities including the U.S. Kadena Air Base and land south of it that is pegged to be returned to Japan.
The prime minister also held talks with the top U.S. military official on the island, Okinawa Area Coordinator Lt. Gen. Terry Robling.
It was Kan's second visit to the prefecture since taking office and the first time he had visited the Futenma base, known as one of the most dangerous bases in the world, due to its proximity to local people.
Around 75 percent of land in Okinawa Prefecture is occupied by the U.S. military, although the tiny island accounts for only 0.6 percent of Japan's territory.
Local authorities and citizens have constantly complained about the disproportionate military presence in Okinawa, citing issues of pollution, noise, accidents and incidents of crime.
Kan is scheduled to issue a joint statement on relocation issue with Obama during a planned trip to the U.S. next spring, although he has drawn the ire of Washington recently by refusing to put a deadline on settling the increasingly thorny relocation issue.
"I urge the very many States that have yet to do so to ratify the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Their Families. I also call on parties to the Convention to step up their efforts to help realize the rights guaranteed in the Convention. The irregular situation of many international migrants should not deprive them either of their humanity or their rights. Together, let us reaffirm the fundamental principle of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 'all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights' ".Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Message for International Migrants Day
18 December 2010
Timorese internally displaced persons being relocated from Jardim Bordia to the district of Ermera with transportation from the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), which provided the vehicle seen here. UN Photo/Martine Perr On 4 December 2000, the UN General Assembly, taking into account the large and increasing number of migrants in the world, proclaimed 18 December as International Migrants Day. On 18 December 1990, the General Assembly had adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
UN Member States and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations are invited to observe International Migrants Day through the dissemination of information on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of migrants, and through the sharing of experiences and the design of actions to ensure their protection.
The 132 Member States that participated in the General Assembly's High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development on 14-15 September 2006 reaffirmed a number of key messages. First, they underscored that international migration was a growing phenomenon and that it could make a positive contribution to development in countries of origin and countries of destination provided it was supported by the right policies. Secondly, they emphasized that respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of all migrants was essential to reap the benefits of international migration. Thirdly, they recognized the importance of strengthening international cooperation on international migration bilaterally, regionally and globally.

| With 13 economic agreements already signed, the two nations set to ink billions more in deals during Chinese PM's visit. Last Modified: 18 Dec 2010 07:54 GMT | |||
China and Pakistan have signed nearly $20bn in economic deals, boosting trade and investment as Wen Jiabao became the first Chinese premier in five years to visit the nuclear-armed state. Business leaders are scheduled to formalise another $10bn worth of deals on Saturday at Islamabad's Marriott Hotel, where a devastating suicide truck bomb killed 60 people in 2008. Pakistan, on the front line of the US battle with al-Qaeda and struggling with Taliban fighters in its northwest, considers China its closest foreign ally and treated Wen and a massive business delegation to a red-carpet welcome upon his arrival on Friday. Qamar Zaman Kaira, Pakistan's information minister, said the countries signed 13 agreements and memorandums of understanding on Friday in fields ranging from energy to railways, from reconstruction to agriculture and culture. Kaira said China had promised to fund "all the energy projects of Pakistan," which he termed a "major breakthrough". Pakistan suffers from a debilitating energy crisis and produces only 80 per cent of the electricity it needs. "China will provide assistance in 36 projects in Pakistan to be completed in five years," he said. "Basically this is a five-year development plan." Nuclear co-operation Although not specifically mentioned, behind-the-scenes talks are also expected on China building a one-gigawatt nuclear power plant as part of Pakistani plans to produce 8,000 megawatts of electricity by 2025 to make up its energy shortfall. Tariq Pirzada, a strategic affairs analyst, told Al Jazeera that this relationship had a two-fold purpose and served the interest of both Islamabad and Beijing.
"Today, in a show of massive strategic and military support, a Chinese leader is visiting a Pakistani military base - something that has not happened too often," Pirzada said. "With some $20bn worth of investment, China is sending a strong message to New Delhi and Washington." Wen is expected to inaugurate a cultural centre built as a monument to Pakistani-Chinese friendship, and is scheduled to hold talks with the country's opposition leader Nawaz Sharif and senior figures in the military, which depends on China for hardware. After the business leaders' meeting, Asif Ali Zardari, the Pakistani president, is to host a state banquet, before Wen addresses a special joint session of parliament early on Sunday. "The outcome of the visit is beyond our expectations. It is an historic day," Masood Khan, Pakistan's ambassador to Beijing, said. Pakistan depends on China's financial and political clout to offset the perceived threat from rival India and rescue its economy from the doldrums of catastrophic flooding, a severe energy crisis and poor foreign investment. Pakistan's prime minister has expressed hope that trade will rise to between $15bn and $18bn over the next five years. China, meanwhile, has been concerned about the threat of fighters infiltrating its territory from Pakistan. Before arriving in Islamabad, Wen visited India, where he and his 400-strong delegation inked deals that will see bilateral trade double to $100bn a year by 2015. |
