SAQUEMOS LOS CESCO DEL RUMBO AL COLAPSO

SAQUEMOS LOS CESCO DEL RUMBO AL COLAPSO

Las graves fallas del sistema mecanizado del Departamento de Transportación y Obras Públicas (DTOP) para el trámite de licencias de guiar y marbetes de vehículos de motor arrastran a la desesperación a miles de ciudadanos, lo que exige que el llamado sistema David Plus sea revisado para determinar si la opción más responsable es su completa sustitución.

Pobreza espiritual

El presidente del Senado alegó recientemente que entre otorgarle fondos a una institución cultural como el Museo de Arte de Ponce y otorgárselos a los pobres, prefería lo segundo.

La AEE le hace la vida de cuadritos

InstalÉ 20 celdas fotovoltaicas en mi hogar a un costo de $35,000. El 21 de septiembre de 2011, realicé el proceso de medición neta con la superintendente de Ingeniería del Distrito de Caguas. Luego los empleados de la Oficina Comercial de la Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (AEE) procedieron a cambiar el contador en octubre.

Cabe señalar que la factura de luz de noviembre fue de $3.00.

Por razones que aún desconozco los empleados volvieron a cambiar el contador y la factura de luz comenzó a aumentar.

Solicité investigaciones sin ningún resultado. He realizado varias gestiones en la Oficina Comercial y no he podido resolver nada.

Actualmente, estoy pagando casi lo mismo que cuando no tenía las placas.

Lo que no entiendo es cómo si firmo un contrato de medición neta, ahora me quieren cobrar mediante estimados.

Es importante que se divulgue esta situación para que personas interesadas en utilizar la verdadera Energía Verde sepan que la AEE le hace la vida de cuadritos a quienes intentan utilizar este recurso.

María de Lourdes López Falcón

Aguas Buenas

pretensión del CIAPR

El caso del senador Roger Iglesias debe establecer precedente en cuanto a quién se debe llamar ingeniero. Es un hecho que la compañía del senador violó la Ley 173, sobre que una inspección de obra debe ser realizada por un ingeniero licenciado.

Ahora bien, me parece que el Colegio de Ingenieros y Agrimensores de Puerto Rico (CIAPR) al pretender que sólo se llame ingeniero al ingeniero licenciado no debe prevalecer como la norma. Un estudiante que estudia ingeniería es un ingeniero al momento de graduarse. Que no sea ingeniero licenciado es otra cosa. Al igual que a un abogado o médico al revalidar les permiten trabajar al amparo de la ley, pero en nada debe ser en menosprecio de su grado ya conferido por una institución educativa acreditada.

Muchas veces estos colegios lo que buscan es “controlar el acceso" a la profesión y siempre salen más aventajados los hijos de sus colegiados que vienen a heredar los títulos y empresas de sus padres.

Roberto Velázquez Ares

Las Piedras

El efecto de las crisis

Primero inventaron una “crisis” para endosarnos el supertubo, luego otra para terminar privatizando el sistema de lanchas a Vieques. Ahora, el recuento a paso de tortuga para decir que si tuviéramos el voto electrónico, hubiéramos tenido los resultados en pocas horas.

Esa lentitud fue fríamente calculada. Pero, calma, todo a su debido tiempo.

La compañía que escogieron y nos querían imponer, no tiene experiencia en votaciones eleccionarias, se dedican a carreras de caballos, según leí.

Ya habrá tiempo en el próximo cuatrienio para buscar y seleccionar una compañía con credibilidad y experiencia. Haciendo el escogido con transparencia y sin prisas, no como pretendían ahora, que daba lugar a pensar en algo turbio.

Maritza Coll

Desvío de fondos

Definitivamente, Luis Fortuño quiere destruir todo el sistema de justicia social que construyó don Luis Muñoz Marín.

Pretende llevarnos a la extrema pobreza e ignorancia en un país en donde no todos puedan recibir educación de calidad. Su nuevo proyecto cameral 3865 es solo palabras escritas como lo han sido los presupuestos escolares en este cuatrienio.

Por ejemplo, en la escuela Catalina Morales de Flores, de Moca, se asignaba un presupuesto federal de unos $400,000 anuales para compras y lo bajaron a $30,000 el año pasado y unos $20,000 este año en curso. No conforme con rebajarlo, aprueban las compras por SIFDE y no entregan todo lo que se compra. Así lo reducen aun más.

¿Qué hacen con el dinero? Ponen fondos federales en las manos de privatizadores que poco saben de educación para tutorías según presupuestadas y luego compran barato y descuentan horas a estudiantes y personal reteniendo dinero. Pretenden colapsar el sistema educativo con propósito.

In South Korean classrooms, digital textbook revolution meets some resistance

via World: World News, International News, Foreign Reporting - The Washington Post by Chico Harlan on 3/24/12

SEOUL — Five years ago, South Korea mapped out a plan to transform its education system into the world’s most cutting-edge. The country would turn itself into a “knowledge powerhouse,” one government report declared, breeding students “equipped for the future.” These students would have little use for the bulky textbooks familiar to their parents. Their textbooks would be digital, accessible on any screen of their choosing. Their backpacks would be much lighter.

Toulouse gunman's brother quizzed in Paris

www.euronews.com The Toulouse gunman's brother has been taken to Paris for further questioning by intelligence officers. Abdelkader Merah was arrested on Tuesday as police sought help in trying to convince 23-year-old Mohammed to surrender. AFP quoted judicial sources on Saturday as saying Abdelkader was "proud" of his brother's slayings. He still denies having any prior knowledge of them, although police say he was present at the theft of Mohammed's getway vehicle, a Yamaha scooter. Officers later found explosives in a car that he owned. They also said Abdelkader has links to radical Islamists. Investigators are now trying to establish whether the gunman had logistical or ideological support, or was a true lone wolf. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

Toulouse shooting: failure to find first target led assassin to Jewish school

via The Guardian World News by Kim Willsher on 3/24/12

The 24-year-old petty thief who killed three Jewish children and their teacher had accumulated a lethal arsenal and lived a life at odds with his unemployed status. How could this have happened under the nose of the intelligence services?

The killing of three Jewish children and a teacher might never have happened, it emerged this weekend, if the Toulouse gunman Mohamed Merah had murdered his original target last Monday. Before being killed in a shootout at his apartment, Merah told police he did not set out to slaughter his victims at a school in the southern French city but had "improvised" after missing a chance to kill a French soldier.

The school murders, following Merah's previous execution-style killing of three soldiers who served in Afghanistan, have traumatised France ahead of presidential elections.

During a 32-hour siege, he told police that after gunning down the three paratroopers he had already identified another member of the military in Toulouse as his next target. After turning up to kill the man on Monday morning, he discovered his target had left home earlier than expected. On the spur of the moment, Merah turned his high-powered scooter around and headed for a nearby Jewish school. He dismounted and put the scooter on its stand before shooting at point-blank range at three children under the age of ten waiting for a school bus.

It has also been revealed how Merah, who claimed to be linked to an al-Qaida fringe group, had fooled investigators after being summoned to explain visits to Pakistan and Afghanistan in November. The 23-year-old claimed he had gone on holiday to find a bride and showed them tourist snaps he had loaded on to a pen drive to verify his story.

Once released, Merah set about collecting an arsenal of weapons he later used in his killing spree, including three .45 Colt handguns, an Uzi and a pump-action shotgun.

Merah's older brother Abdelkader, and the brother's girlfriend, who were arrested on Wednesday, have been transferred to Paris for questioning by France's specialist anti-terrorist officers. Abdelkader, 29, is said to have denied encouraging Merah to commit the murders, but was reported to have said he was "proud" of his acts. Merah's mother, who was arrested at the same time, was released yesterday. Police are trying to determine if he had any help in carrying out the murders, which have refocused attention on the threat of radical Muslim terrorists.

Bernard Squarcini, head of France's intelligence services, said Merah's story after he was brought in for questioning in November had been convincing, saying he had shown "excellent co-operation, education and courtesy".

Merah was killed in a hail of fire at his apartment in the south-west French city of Toulouse. He had cut off communication and was hiding in the bathroom, hoping to fool police into thinking he had committed suicide. When police entered the flat he burst out firing in all directions. Merah had laid out a series of obstacles, including a washing machine and a large black leather sofa. On the flat's balcony were materials for making petrol bombs.

The revelations will raise questions about how Merah succeeded in amassing such an arsenal of weapons – and while unemployed and on benefits – without raising the suspicions of the intelligence services who were supposed to have him under surveillance. The investigation will focus on how an unemployed petty thief could afford a €500 (£418) a month flat, as well as a rented garage and two hire cars.

An autopsy showed his body was riddled with 30 bullets. One to the head and a second to the abdomen were said to have been fatal. A total of 300 rounds were fired by Merah and police during the operation to end the siege. French investigators say they have found no evidence that Merah was connected to any al-Qaida group.

The identity of the killer was greeted with dismay among France's Muslim community. "Up until then, we had been praying, praying that it wasn't someone with foreign roots, a Muslim," says Khadija Ba, a French women's campaigner who was born in Morocco. "When they said his name, our hearts sank. Then we knew once again we would be blamed for the terrible killings; blamed for everything." She added: "He was a French citizen who slaughtered other French citizens, but all anyone heard was that he was called Mohamed and was a Muslim."

The killings have also transformed the lead-up to April's presidential election first round. Before Toulouse, Socialist candidate François Hollande was leading the majority of polls to become the next president of France. The predicted margin between Hollande and incumbent president Nicolas Sarkozy was narrow for the first round on 22 April, but all surveys gave Hollande a clear majority in the second round a fortnight later.

After Toulouse, Super Sarkozy, the "president protector" – as one analyst described him – is back. Crime and security are Sarkozy's speciality. Last week's stand-off between police and Merah sparked memories of France's longest ever siege when in 1993 a man took children hostage at a kindergarten in the wealthy Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, where Sarkozy was mayor. He persuaded the assailant, who was later shot dead by police, to release several children, and most of France still remembers the photographs of Sarkozy leading them out of the school.

In 2002, when Sarkozy's predecessor Jacques Chirac was seeking re-election and Sarkozy was his tough-talking interior minister, the assault of an elderly man in Alsace three days before the first round put crime and security at the top of the political agenda and swung the popular vote behind the right. The result saw the right and far right competing in the second-round runoff and the Socialists out of the race. Earlier in March that year, a gunman had burst into a local council meeting at Nanterre just outside Paris and shot dead eight councillors.

On Thursday evening, a few hours after Merah was killed, Tunisian-born Ali and Jamel, like Merah a Frenchman of Algerian origin, were standing outside the drab apartment block where the gunman lived and died.

"Will this change the election? It changes everything 100%," Ali said. "And it could not have come at a better time for Nicolas Sarkozy. The sad thing is that he was the one dividing the country by turning towards the far right before this happened."

Thierry de la Cruz, 54, the director of an educative centre, said: "The problem is that Sarkozy is looking for votes from the extreme right by picking up their themes. And now he will find those votes. This plays very much in favour of Sarkozy. He has been playing on people's fears and those fears have been realised. For those waiting for Hollande to be elected, it's far from being won now. When we heard that the suspect's name was Mohamed, well, that was a gift for the right."

Even before the Toulouse shootings, Sarkozy was rising slowly in the polls. The trend appeared to be continuing after Toulouse, but Frédéric Dabi, of the opinion pollsters IFOP, said it was too early and too "unwise" to make any predictions about its effect on voters.

"No one can say what will happen," he said. "Early indicators show that voters are still concentrating on economic and social issues. There is nothing to suggest at this moment that this will become an element in the election or will change people's motivation." He added: "Before Toulouse the tone of the campaign was already hard, so this might actually calm things. It is too early to say."

At a gathering of 5,000 people in Toulouse's Capitole Square on Friday, to show solidarity with the families of the victims and call for unity, the political predictions were mixed. A group of students praised the police and the president's handling of the tragedy, and criticised other candidates who have been making political mileage out of the affair as "disgusting". Benjamin Atlan, 22, said: "Everyone has their idea of who will benefit politically from this, but the fact that candidates came here to get votes after the school killing has upset many people. It is not well viewed."

Social worker Sonia Ruiz, 32, said: "People said the president should not have come here, but he was doing his job, he was being president. In fact he was the only one who should have come here. The campaign will go on. I don't honestly know what effect this will have."

Hollande's team insist their man has risen to the occasion. "The president behaved like the president; François Hollande behaved like the leader of the opposition and behaved with the dignity of a man of state, " said Kader Aris of the Socialist party in Toulouse.

"This was a heavy moment that marks the spirit. Today we feel we have to avoid any political exploitation of this tragedy, any further division between people and ensure that the democratic debate continues. I don't believe it will have any serious political consequences, but we will see in the days to come. This should not be an element in the election campaign. We have to accompany the families in their grief, be present for them and answer their concerns."

In the immediate aftermath of the Toulouse shootings, Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to introduce new legislation making it illegal to look at websites encouraging terrorism and to travel abroad for terrorism training.

Hollande's team refuse to be drawn into a polemic over the issue. "The right is using security for electoral ends; we will not take part in this. We are not convinced security in itself is a central theme of the election campaign," said François Rebsamen, in charge of security for the Socialist candidate.

"The French first want solutions regarding employment, spending power, etc. But if we have to talk about security we will do so."

For Khadija Ba, 40, who has been in France for 40 years, the tragedy of Toulouse has made her feel, once again, that she and her north African friends, and their French-born children and grandchildren, will always be "foreigners" in France. "Mohamed Merah was French. The people he killed were French. He was a Muslim," she said. "We should not judge a community for the terrible acts of Mohamed Mehar. We should judge a society."

Today, in Paris, members of the Jewish and Muslim communities will gather to pay their respects to the victims. The talk is of reconciliation, of unity after an extraordinary, terrible week.
