McCain and Obama hit by the economy in his first debate

* ‘The person who is more relaxed and provokes laughter is usually the victor’
* With an opponent so polite, McCain had it easy to take the steamroller
* Both candidates will discuss the upcoming Oct. 7 at Tennessee

OXFORD (USA) .- As expected, John McCain was imposed on the points to Barack Obama in the first presidential debate, but the surprise was the victory of Republican in an encounter in which 39 of the 90 minutes were spent, in a last-minute change to the discussion of financial collapse by running through the United States.

In theory, the economy, which should be addressed more extensively in the next debate, on Oct. 7, is competition from Obama. And the foreign and defense policy, which was devoted to the encounter this Friday for McCain.

Although this idea of a victory for McCain is, apparently, the idea of journalists and other self ‘experts’. The first polls conducted on the basis of calls received by the television networks CNN and MSNBC, and are therefore not reliable show that for the viewers of those channels, Obama won.

However, data from the audience of ‘Fox News’ conservative trend, giving the victory to McCain. In any case, unless one candidate to win expires, as did Reagan versus Carter in 1980, for example, what did not happen this Friday, the role of the debates is limited, and above all boils down to the undecided .

Clearly, these elections are for 18% of voters who still do not know by whom they will vote, which represented a major electoral treasure awaiting the candidate who can find it. Although no one thought in the U.S. last night that the hour and a half of debate would mark a turning point in the race for the White House.
Why was imposed McCain?

Why was imposed McCain? largely because, as pointed out this Friday Judd Legum, one of the main advisers of the failed campaign of Hillary Clinton, “which says the candidate is less important than how you say it.” In other words, “the person who is more relaxed and you can provoke some laughter is usually the victor.”

And there, McCain was much better than Obama. As explained last night, while continuing the debate, Steven Clemons, a Republican centrist who supports the Democrats now in his political blog “The Washington Note, ‘” Obama is reacting, not leading. ”

The Democratic candidate went so far as to say in at least eight occasions that McCain is “absolutely right” in areas such as the squandering of public money, the failure of the policy of George W. Bush to Iran, the influence of lobbyists in government, the tax burden on companies, U.S. spending on imported oil and the success of the current American strategy in Iraq.

With an opponent so polite, McCain had it easy to take the steamroller. In fact, some commentators, such as the neoconservative Charles Krauthammer, reproached him last night “too have machacón been.” And be very aggressive can be a serious problem in the U.S., as noted Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

Leadership is also somewhat subjective, and there, for example, the language of McCain was much more effective than that of Obama. The Republican candidate was always sure of himself, without hesitation or a single moment, and without looking at Obama, but only to the audience, the camera or the moderator, the veteran journalist of public television (PBS) Jim Lehrer .

Faced with this attitude, Obama responded with a cascade of hesitation, and interruptions while addressing a McCain is not lowered at any time to restore sight. The Republican was able to completely bypass some of the questions Lehrer without Obama, who repeatedly showed an incredible tendency to get lost in technical details completely accessories in a debate of this nature, was able to reply or simply remind him that it was draining the package.
Three parts

The debate had three parts. The first, 39 minutes, focused on the economy. It was there that Obama, paradoxically, showed more nervousness. With Lehrer’s first question – “What is your position with respect to financial recovery plan?” – The senator from Illinois was lost with a four-point plan that barely had time to explain within two minutes of his speech.

McCain, meanwhile, avoided the details, something logical in an area-economy-in which, literally stepping on mines. Instead, the Republican candidate attacked his favorite black beast: public spending. The senator from Arizona was asked to “consider a freeze in public spending,” a very quaint in a country that needs 700,000 million dollars of public money to essentially avoid the bankruptcy of its financial system.

McCain once again repeat that trimmed the budget by 18,000 million dollars, a figure only when their ridiculous lowering the tax burden will cost 300,000 million, as Obama reminded him, and again draw some of their favorite topics, such as the theoretical waste of money public funding for the State of a study on the DNA of bears.

In return, Obama tried to show more connection with the average American, a strategy that can be very important in this election because of the recession in the U.S. is falling. At bottom, however, the two candidates did an exercise in ambiguity, bypassing decide on the most controversial aspects of the crisis.

Paradoxically, Obama only began to show more sure of himself from minute 40, when the debate turned to foreign policy. There might be thought that the roles would be reversed, and that, while McCain, who accumulates a vast experience in that field-encentraría is in the details, Obama tiraría of generalities.

In fact, the Democratic senator insisted discuss with McCain at the same level, which, given the difference in curriculum between one and another, perhaps not the best strategy. Obama, however, managed to maintain ground to defend his proposal to negotiate with countries like Iran. In the last twenty minutes, the meeting was more equalized.

But it was too late. McCain had the debate in his hands. After the meeting, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean, kept reminding reporters that “McCain has referred to Ronald Reagan four times because he is a man of the past.” The odd thing was that no Republican resurrecting Reagan, but Obama has not been able to remind you that the president left the White House 20 years ago.

Despite having been one of the great Galanes of film history, the love of his life was the actress Joanne Woodward, with whom he shared all his life after getting married in 1958.

Stephen Hawking: – The future of the human race is in space -

* The astrophysicist presents’ The key secret of the Universe, “written with his daughter Lucy
* With this book tries to combat drought in science

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA .- “I want to encourage human spaceflight, because I believe that in the long term, the future of the human race to expire in space. If humanity seeks to survive for another million years, we have to go without hesitation Where no man has gone before. ” The astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, probably the most famous scientist on the planet, has husking in Santiago de Compostela their cosmic vision of the future, introducing the Spanish edition of his new book, ‘The key secret of the Universe “(editorial Montenegro), written with his daughter Lucy.

When it has not yet passed either one and a half years since that memorable trip in zero gravity that the illustrious professor of Cambridge held on board a plane to experience the sensation of floating in space, Hawking has pointed out that in a world threatened by serious dangers as climate change or a possible nuclear conflict, “the human race should not put all your eggs in the same basket, or on the same planet, hopefully we can prevent the basket to fall before they have spread the load.

After a delay of 20 minutes due to a last minute problem with the impressive voice synthesizer that uses to communicate with the world, Hawking has called “the thrill of discovery when you find something that nobody knew before,” in a wheel Press multitudinous held in the Galician capital.

‘The human race should not put all your eggs in the same basket, or on the same planet, hopefully we can prevent the basket to fall before they have spread the load’

The great pioneer in the investigation of the ‘Big Bang’ and black holes is very concerned that “we live in a society that is increasingly governed by science and technology, yet fewer and fewer people want to get into science.” To try to combat the drought in science, Hawking has decided to write along with his daughter Lucy a fable for children and adolescents that aims to ignite in his readers the spark of curiosity to understand the origins and nature of the universe.

“I studied physics and cosmology because she wanted answers to major questions: why we are here, where we come from. Encourage young people to do the same,” Hawking proclaimed, through the voice of robotics with emphasis synthetizer American who leads attached to his wheelchair. The severity of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the degenerative disease afflicting the scientist since age 21, has come to the point where now they can only control the computer with which he communicates by moving the muscles in his cheek, to guide an infrared ray on a screen where he finds the words or phrases that wants to express.

On Saturday I will Fonseca Prize for his “exceptional master ‘on popular science

The daughter of the astrophysicist, novelist by profession, has said that writing the book with his father had been a “memorable” and described the book as “a fabulous adventure through the Universe” so that more young people can feel the fascination that can produce scientific exploration of the cosmos.

The choice of Santiago to present his new play is not coincidental, because the next Saturday I will receive the prize Hawking Fonseca, an award created by the Conscience of the University of Santiago de Compostela to recognize the work of great scientific disseminators. The jury for this prize has stressed in its ruling the “exceptional master” of the British astrophysicist “in the popularization of complex concepts of physics in our understanding of the universe, combined with the highest scientific excellence.”

A 20-year-old student shot at an institute in the city of Kauhajoki – killed several people

Finland is reforming the law on weapons after the slaughter at the institute Kauhajoki

This screen grab shows Matti Juhani Saari in Kauhajoki, southwestern Finland shooting a gun on an unknown date towards the camera into the ground during a video he filmed of himself and then posted on the file-sharing website YouTube.

A 20-year-old student has broken a shot at an institute in the city of Kauhajoki, southwest of Finland, and has killed several people as sources have informed the police.

* It is the third country in the proportion of firearms, following U.S. and Yemen
* The law allows to bring those over 15
* ‘We need to significantly tighten the law’, says prime minister

Finland wondered what has gone wrong for student suffered two massacres in less than a year. After the last, in this Tuesday Kauhajoki, the Government will consider reforming the law on firearms to prevent similar tragedies happen again.

The carnage caused by Matti Juhani Saari, 22, which killed 10 people and committed suicide in a vocational training center, took place only a few months after that Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18, killed eight others before shooting . Both had permits for the weapons they used.

“Too many events like this happen, both in Finland and elsewhere in the world. The most important thing is to know exactly what happened,” said the press Tuesday to the prime minister, Matti Vanhanen.

“We must tighten the law significantly,” he added later in the chain of public television YLE. “For guns that can be transported easily, we must ask whether they should be allowed for individuals.”
¿Restrict permissions?

The law of Finland, the third-highest proportion of firearms after the U.S. and Yemen-carry permits to those over 15 years. After the slaughter of 2007, the government announced that it would adopt an EU directive which had previously rejected, but so far has not made any changes.

The local media, meanwhile, are wondering how it is possible that the police cross-Saari one day before the killing and did not confiscate his gun after seeing the videos on YouTube in which conducted numerous shots.

“The murderer of Kauhajoki had a new license for a small-caliber gun,” he points out in its pages the ‘Helsingin Sanomat’. “But this weaponry is enough to end the lives of many young people and spread the pain and destruction”.

The EU proposes a standard for the protection of personal data on Internet

BRUSSELS .- The date of graduation, the photos in bikini or conversations with former fellow students on Facebook, MySpace and other sites should be subject to European legislation on data protection, according to a proposal approved in the European Parliament on the right to privacy on the Web.

“We must ensure that all customers and users enjoy the same level of protection of privacy and personal data, regardless of the technology used to provide a service,” said one of the eight hundred amendments to the draft that debatidísimo Now go to the European Commission and the Council of Ministers of the Twenty-seven to become law. Although Facebook pages are subject to national laws, so far there is no clarity on data protection across the EU.

Among the planned measures for the protection of privacy on the Internet, is also an obligation to seek permission each time a software is installed on a computer if you can use information from the user’s hard drive, like pages visited or content of the computer .

In addition, the proposal strengthens the requirement that the user give its prior approval before they used the websites’ cookies’ – the codes that store data on the visits on the Internet. To prevent the network is slower, he just has to predetermine the function is on the computer.

The comprehensive project submitted by the British Conservative Malcolm Harbor, became famous for its first version, which raised the possibility that the IP addresses that identify the user of the Internet and its business-information being more accessible to locate the perpetrators of the pages in case of crime.

Given the pressure of Internet users, with powerful campaigns throughout the summer, this proposal has run into a simple request to the European Commission to undertake “a study on IP addresses and their use” and to submit “proposals” on their use as personal data under certain circumstances. ” The goal is to avoid, according to the authors, in the first instance to define this identification and study if you need special protection.

Following the criticism, a misinterpretation, according to parliamentary experts, a proposal that has always aimed to protect personal data, the project includes amendments to explain that the proposal does not seek to control the activities of the user or cazarle in illegal activities, such as piracy of music or movies.

The references to the larger server capacity, state or stakeholders in the case of “illegal acts”-from pornography to terrorism until the downloading of songs have disappeared and the question is simply in the hands of legislation Twenty-seven of the national, as in the past.

Harbor has insisted at the press conference, in its report that “has never had to do with the copyright and its main aim was to” consumer protection “to strengthen the protection of your data or facilitate the change of supplier Internet against “monopolies” current market.

* Emphasizes the good health of the Spanish financial system
* Recognizes that the two ‘issues’ are the excess real estate and the external deficit

These 14 years of continued growth has helped give Spain a “very significant jump” in income per capita, which has led him to exceed the European average and Italy at this point, “something that depresses a lot on the other hand the prime minister Berlusconi” , Joked.

EuroparlTV: No face, and without public

TV Online that the European Parliament launched last Wednesday suffering from the same ailments that his older sister (Euronews) and seems more like a corporate version EUtube, the channel of the Union in the popular video site .

When we talk about the aches Euronews (supported, like EUtube, by the European Commission) we are referring to the lack of faces. Television is primarily a factory of faces that have just done by family members, but only offers Euronews news voice in off . This deficiency is due to the inherent diversity of the Union. A presenter has to necessarily speak one language at the same time, and choose one (albeit English) supposed to discriminate against the vast majority of Europeans, who are not English speakers .

True, this is an online television channel , In which the live transmission of parliamentary sessions will be combined with short videos like YouTube. The use of the Internet itself fragmented in many cases eliminates the need for a presenter to provide continuity to the broadcast .

One wonders what the real difference between this new channel and the existing EUtube. And it is intriguing that Parliament, not the Commission, the institution that created this channel. But, in essence, the question that remains in the air is what should be solved when launching any product to market: What is the need to meet this channel? What is your brand differential? In other words: What do you want a web channel of the European Parliament ?

The live broadcast of parliamentary sessions is a reality in the United States for almost 30 years, through the satellite television channel C-SPAN. Its emissions are naturally followed by a minority, as with the other channels parliamentarians, including Spanish. The new channel of the European Parliament could be just that, an online version of television and European congress, to go unnoticed .

Dreaming with Teleuropa
But the fanfare with which it was launched, and its pretensions of being anything else (including a participatory channel for the public’s views and one for children) is inviting to think that Parliament is experimenting with the idea that both like to scholars of the so-called European public sphere: A television for all Europeans .

We know from James Carey that a television (or, by extension, any means of communication) is a reflection of the community it serves, and contributes both to forge a unified identity in that community. For something communication and community shared etymology. The communication is symbolic that sustains the community. The BBC is a basic pillar of the British identity, as with other national television. They know very well the Spanish regional governments: the identity Galician, Basque or Catalan depends largely on their televisions, TVG, ETB and TV3 .

¿ How would the television set that could recognize the Europeans? No one dares to respond. In part because the existence of a genuine European public is under discussion. But let me throw a couple of suggestions: 1) the use of presenters of the member states to lead the news, which was issued in eight languages that already use Euronews and 2) the creation of an editorial that defends, without falling into the dogmatism or propaganda, the common European values: sustainable growth, universal access to education and health, labor rights and protection of cultural and linguistic diversity .

The first idea, to have presenters speaking in the languages they currently use for your news in Euronews off , is a way of squaring the circle. The literature on the European public sphere contends that the perception of the EU is mediated through the lenses of the national media. The pan-European media (type Wall Street Journal Europe or The Economist ) constitute a public sphere of elitist English-speaking readers. Euronews presenters with a star of several countries of the European Union would offer a vision of the world more accessible to different national audiences .

The second idea, the editorial policy of promoting a European, is fraught with risks well known by critics of any public television. Who pays boss, and the danger of being a member of propaganda is always there, even letters that are granted independence. But also there is room for hope. Just as the English broadcast media, in veiled form, a defense of free market values and other western European television could be placed on the agenda of public debate issues of great significance that often go undetected (perhaps by the interest of actors themselves, record) or are dealt with in myopic eyes nationals. That is the case of immigration, for example. This perspective also serve to discuss taboo subjects in the respective national public spheres .

The faces of cosmopolitanism
The experience of other channels of satellite television shows that it is possible to create a media stardom without sacrificing professionalism newsworthy. We have the examples of the BBC World presenter Mishal Husain or the director of Newsweek , Fareed Zakaria, who leads a weekly program for CNN. Husain and Zakaria are the presenters of the TV overall. They are the symbol of a postcolonial world and mestizo. Their faces are helping us to see the world as a single entity, in which all its inhabitants are interdependent .

The European Union, all analysts agree this is the great global regulator. Its standards end up being replicated by other regions of the globe. Just this week the singer Mick Jagger and the mastermind of Apple, Steve Jobs, in Brussels attending a meeting that aimed to discuss future legislation on electronic commerce and music downloading on the Internet. The law of cultural industries in this borderless world will carry the European label. The same will happen with the control of pollutant emissions and climate change. Media coverage commensurate with the European dimension of these laws would ensure greater publicity and debate. Enrich the fragile democracy .

Ideally, outside the Parliament or the Commission, arising from private initiative several media projects of this type. If the communication does community, we need something more than an institutional YouTube to create the European community. But Teleuropa remains, for now, in the limbo of the just .
