Es ist derzeit das "Aufregerthema" Nummer 1 in Deutschland: Thilo Sarrazins Buch "Deutschland schafft sich ab", das der 65-Jährige an diesem Montag in Berlin vorstellt. Eine Auswahl an Pressestimmen.
Über das Buch wird schon seit Tagen heftig diskutiert, obwohl es erst an diesem Montag präsentiert wird: "Deutschland schafft sich ab - Wie wir unser Land aufs Spiel setzen", so der provokante Titel des Werks von Bundesbankvorstand Thilo Sarrazin.
Immer dümmer?
Buchcover 'Deutschland schafft sich ab'Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:
Das Buch war auszugsweise vorab veröffentlicht worden - seitdem sorgt es für großen Wirbel. Der frühere Berliner Finanzsenator wirft darin vor allem Einwanderern muslimischen Glaubens eine fehlende Bereitschaft zur Integration vor. Und das SPD-Mitglied stellt die These auf: Durch den Kinderreichtum schlecht gebildeter muslimischer Zuwanderer werde die Gesamtbevölkerung im Schnitt tendenziell dümmer.
Ist Sarrazin ein "profilneurotischer Provokateur" oder ein "scharfzüngiger Mahner"?, fragen sich viele deutsche Tageszeitungen an diesem Montag (30.08.2010) in ihren Kommentaren. Hier nur einige davon:
WESTDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG
"Sachlichkeit ist oberstes Gebot. Die von Sarrazin angesprochenen Themen sind nicht nur sensibel, sondern durchaus entscheidend für die Zukunft. Denn auch wenn die meisten aufgeklärten Bürger seine Aussagen für politisch unkorrekt halten, dürfen wir die Probleme nicht schönreden: Vor allem bei der Integration ist in Deutschland sehr viel im Argen. Das auszusprechen ist in Ordnung und sogar wichtig. Es so polemisch wie Sarrazin zu tun, hingegen nicht."
Bonner GENERAL-ANZEIGER
"Sarrazin spricht ein zentrales Thema deutscher Gesellschaft an, aber es geht auch eine Nummer kleiner. Es geht darum, die bekannten Missstände durch konkrete Initiativen weiter abzubauen: durch Sprachlern-Pflicht, durch klare Nachzugsregelungen, durch Bedingungen für Sozialleistungen. Es geht nicht darum, den Eindruck zu erwecken, als könne es eine Abschottung Deutschlands in Europa geben, als gäbe es ein Zurück in eine heile Welt, die nie heil war. Es wäre schön, wenn es einfache Wahrheiten und Rezepte gäbe. Aber die gibt es auch hier nicht. Vor allem aber: Es gilt das Grundgesetz: Niemand darf wegen ... seiner Abstammung, seiner Rasse ... benachteiligt werden. Der Grundsatz ist in Gefahr."
FINANCIAL TIMES DEUTSCHLAND
"Wenn sich die Aufregung um die verbalen Irrläufer aus dem Wortschatz des Thilo Sarrazin wieder gelegt hat, wird eines bleiben: die Gewissheit, dass Deutschland ein Problem mit seinen Zuwanderern hat. Und die Neigung von immer mehr Menschen, diesem Problem mit schlichter Ablehnung zu begegnen. Doch diese Reaktion ist gefährlich, menschlich wie ökonomisch. Und es ist an der Politik, aber auch an der Wirtschaft, das unmissverständlich klarzustellen. Die Wirtschaftsverbände drängen schon lange darauf, die Zuwanderung Hochqualifizierter zu verbessern. Genauso sollten sie Bund und Länder drängen, das Abdriften von Migranten der zweiten und dritten Generation in Parallelgesellschaften zu bremsen."
LAUSITZER RUNDSCHAU
"Die Politik hat stets ignoriert, dass Deutschland ein Einwanderungsland ist; die Folgen davon sind in jeder großen Stadt, an fast jeder Schule inzwischen zu begutachten. Einwanderer haben im Gegenzug oft ihren eigenen Beitrag zur Integration vermissen lassen, und viel zu selten ist darauf gedrängt worden. Insofern kann es doch nicht darum gehen, wer blöder oder unwilliger ist, sondern nur noch darum, wie sich die offenbar immer größer werdenden Probleme im Miteinander noch lösen lassen. Aber da ist die Politik leider nicht anders als Sarrazin: Sie weiß es auch nicht. Und genau das ist das Fatale."
NEUE OSNABRÜCKER ZEITUNG
"Querdenker sind gut. Sie rütteln am Konsens. Sie werfen Lichter auf Probleme, die die Mehrheit als gegeben akzeptiert oder bis dahin gar nicht mal gesehen hat. Thilo Sarrazin allerdings denkt längst nicht mehr quer sondern verquer. Der Unterschied dazwischen ist größer, als die drei Buchstaben es vermuten lassen. Aus einem ungewöhnlichen, aber intelligenten Einwurf wird so im besten Fall dummes Gerede, im schlimmsten Fall noch mehr. Dann nämlich, wenn jemand wie Sarrazin sich ein märtyrerisches Mäntelchen umhängt und dabei von manchen noch beklatscht wird. Es fragt sich, was er im Vorstand der Bundesbank zu suchen hat und ob er dort auch Produktives leistet oder ständig nur öffentlich Unsinn erzählt."
SAARBRÜCKER ZEITUNG
"Rechts liegenlassen ist die geeignete Reaktion. Und wenn das nicht möglich ist: Gegenfragen stellen. Zum Beispiel die, warum Sarrazin in seiner Zeit als sozialdemokratischer Politiker nicht für Verbesserungen bei der Integration und der Bildung von Einwanderern sorgte. Gerade in Berlin wäre dies dringend notwendig gewesen. Man könnte aber auch mal jene fragen, die sich derzeit besonders laut über ihren Parteifreund ereifern, warum sie ihn überhaupt zum Bundesbank-Vorstand machten. Obwohl doch klar war, dass der Mann einer tickenden Verbal-Bombe gleichkommt."
EMDER ZEITUNG
"Ganz Deutschland redet sich den Mund fusselig über ein Buch, das bislang so gut wie keiner gelesen hat. Aber alle wissen, was drin steht. Gute Voraussetzungen also, dass dieses Buch ein Bestseller wird. Thilo Sarrazin kann sich die Hände reiben. Der Bundesbanker macht vor, wie Marketing funktioniert. Er streut ein paar provokante Thesen unters Volk, die allesamt nicht neu sind, aber in ihrer polemischen Überspitzung wie Knallfrösche explodieren. Das Echo ist vom Autor einkalkuliert und Teil seiner Verkaufsstrategie. Es hagelt Proteste. SPD-Chef Gabriel, der das Buch höchstwahrscheinlich auch noch nicht gelesen hat, möchte den Parteifreund gerne loswerden. Das macht aus Sarrazin fast schon einen Dissidenten, und das garantiert noch mehr Käufer. Der grandiose Erfolg wird Sarrazin motivieren, noch viele, viele Bücher zu schreiben."

Снимут фильм об основателях Google
Снимут фильм об основателях Google
Об основателях крупнейшей в мире корпорации Google снимут фильм. Американские продюсеры выкупили права на экранизацию книги нью-йоркского колумниста, описавшего историю создания поисковика.
Книга Кена Олетты "Google: конец мира, как мы его знаем" вышла в прошлом году.
В ней рассказывается о том, как стартап, созданный Сергеем Брином и Ларри Пейджем, превратился в прибыльный бизнес, ежегодный доход которого достигает 20 млрд. долларов.
"Эта будет история двух молодых парней, создавших компанию, изменившую мир, – рассказал Deadline.com глава Groundswell Productions Майкл Лондон, выкупившей права на экранизацию книги. – В центре картины – их замечательный слоган: "Не будь злым".
В фильме будет рассказано о том, удается ли остаться верным этому принципу, когда компания начинает приносить многомиллиардные доходы.
"В определенный момент интересы бизнеса неизбежно приходят в противоречие с этим принципом. Можно ли остаться верным ему, когда компания становится такой богатой и могущественной, как Google?", – отмечает Лондон.
Этой осенью на экраны выходит новый фильм Дэвида Финчера "Социальная сеть", рассказывающий о создателях Facebook.

Controversial slogans not racist, says Austria's far-right Austrian Freedom Party leader
Austrian Freedom Party leader Heinz Christian Strache
Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Strache is Austria's latest far-right boster boy
The far right has been making big gains in opinion polls in Vienna and could win close to a quarter of the votes in October's election. But many are concerned by the party's use of xenophobic slogans.
Austria's far right Freedom Party (FPO) is causing outrage with its advertising campaign for upcoming Vienna city elections. Its posters have been described as racist, dangerous and reminiscent of Nazi slogans.
The slogan causing all the fuss appears in bold letters across huge billboards next to the smiling face of Freedom Party leader Heinz Christian Strache. "Mehr Mut für Wiener Blut" - more courage for Viennese Blood. The next rhyming line goes on to say - too many foreigners does no one any good.
St. Stephen's cathedral in ViennaBildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Vienna is home to 1.7 million people
The phrase draws on the title of a Strauss operetta popular early last century, as well as a hit song from the 1980's by Austrian rocker Falco. But the Social Democrats who currently hold power in Vienna say it's straight out of the Nazis' vocabulary, emphasizing purity of race and blood.
More than tradition
For Eric Frey, the managing editor of the Vienna daily Der Standard, the language is blatantly racist.
"This is racist, it is openly xenophobic," said Frey. "It's part of the campaign strategy."
"Strache is going to run a kind of a two pronged campaign, trying to mobilize his core voters and then trying to appeal to the working class voters who are generally not really happy about voting for FPO," said Frey.
The Freedom Party claim they only intend to emphasize their support for Viennese traditions. They point out there's little that's more authentically Viennese than Strauss and Falco.
Austrian rocker FalcoBildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Falco had a hit song entitled "Wiener Blut" (Viennese Blood) in 1988
Carefully chosen words
But most commentators disagree. Benedict Narodoslawsky, the author of a book about the Freedom Party, says that although the party claims the slogans reference to Viennese culture, its leaders know just how provocative their words are.
"They say no, that reminds us of Strauss, and Falco. That's just the automatic defense against the critics," said Frey. "Of course they are calculating that it has this negative connotation."
The Freedom Party, long seen as the party of Jörg Haider, has enjoyed popular support under its new young leader, Heinz Christian Strache. A recent Gallup poll suggested it could win 23 percent of the vote in Vienna, where most of Austria's immigrants live. A win would have major consequences for the Social Democrats: they would lose their absolute majority and be forced to form a coalition with one of the smaller parties.
Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann'sBildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: The Austrian Chancellor's political future may rest in the hands of the Freedom Party
It could also have implications for the Chancellor Werner Faymann, whose Social Democrats lead the federal coalition and who have suffered a string of losses in recent regional elections. According to Frey, Faymann is depending on Vienna May or Michael Häupl to minimise Freedom Party gains.
Migrant city
"The question of whether Häupl can keep the absolute majority or lose it partly because of the strength of the FPO can make or break Faymann's political future," Frey said.
Vienna is a city where every second household has at least one member of migrant background. Even in the time of Johann Strauss, it was a city of migrants from all parts of central Europe. In eight weeks, the multi-cultural city will give its verdict on the Freedom Party's exploitation of one of their best known traditions.

ИСТОРИИ Основные 03-02-14 / N10 ммм
Историю рассказал нам знакомый, который имеет свойство
приукрашивать события, однако это делает все, о чем он рассказывает,
еще более смешным.
Итак, одной прекрасной питерской белой ночью собрал парень у себя дома
друзей пивка попить. И как это всегда бывает - пиво очень скоро
кончилось. Погода шепчет (тепло в смысле - ночи-то белые у нас летом) -
пошли всей гопой из 8 человек затариться еще пивком да и выпить его
прямо под открытым небом. Затарились хорошо да мало, деньги у всех
кончились, а душа только-только развернулась. Решили, что деньги можно
взять из тумбочки, а где ближайшая? - конечно же у того парня, у
которого начинали. Пошел он, в общем, за деньгами. А надо бы сказать,
что Жил этот товарисч невысоко - 3-ий этаж всего. И когда он дошел до
дверей своей квартиры, выяснилось, что ключа-то и нет!!! - забыл по
пьяни, а дверь захлопнул. Ломать дверь не хотелось. Первая мысль - лезть
в окно. 3-ий этаж - не страшно. Как попасть в окно? - с этим вопросом он
вернулся к жаждущим. Сейчас он наверняка раскаивается, что не сломал
дверь. А тогда решение показалось ему простым и оригинальным: кто-то,
насмотревшись видимо американских боевиков и восточных единоборств по
ТВ, посоветовал ему как пожарнику (спортсмену, каратисту и проч.)
взобраться на стену простым способом - с разбегу на шесте. Т.е. когда
несколько человек хватаются за один конец трубы (задний), а он - за
другой (передний) и начинают разгоняться в сторону стены, а
непосредственно у стены одиночка подпрыгивает вместе с шестом и, начиная
активно перебирать ногами по стене, опираясь на этот самый шест,
движется вверх. Сказано - сделано. Под шест приспособили списанную ЖЭКом
ржавую трубу диаметром 8-10 см. Разбежались и.... со всей дури
зафигачили трубу в стену в дома. Дом содрогнулся, задрожали все стекла,
где-то проснулся и заплакал ребенок, направляющий больно ударился
головой об эту же стену, остальные сильно поцарапали руки и уронили на
ноги трубу. Закурили... заклеили куском газеты рану на голове
направляющего, проанализировали сутацию и поняли, что же пошло не так -
направляющий не успел подпрыгнуть!!!
Быстренько решили переделать, т.к. кое-кто уже начинал трезветь
и деньги нужны были срочно.
Разбежались... направляющий подпрыгнул и начал активно перебирать
ногами, вроде дело пошло... но, когда парень уже был почти у цели, его
ноги неудачно подогнулись, трубу повело немного вбок и она аккурат вошла
в форточку соседям парня, что жили этажом ниже. Звон разбитого стекла,
сдержанный мат, крик проснувшихся соседей... Парень, есс-но,
катапультировался с места своего позора, упал, сильно ушиб и поцарапал
руки. Движение бегунов с трубой при этом не остановилось и труба сильно
повредила потолок вышеупомянутых соседей, отколов им огромный кусок
штукатурки и проделав крупную царапину далее по все тому же потолку.
... трубу вытащили, с соседями разобрались, пообещав немедленно, как
только доберутся до тумбочки с деньгами, оплатить ремонт потолка и
замену стекла. Дом уже не спал - во многих окнах горел свет, в открытых
окнах висели любопытные, некоторые приставали с советами, некоторые из
них не поленились выйти и присоединиться к несдавшимся героям.
Попытка №3: Еле-еле уговорили основного бойца, лоб которого был заклеен,
как вы помните, куском газеты, с поцарапанными и отшибленными падением
руками, совершить еще одну, по общему мнению - последнюю попытку.
Разбежались, прыжок - направляющий бежит по стене, как заправский нинзя.
Ему надо бы остановиться - ведь вот уже его открытая форточка, но чу!..
все вошли в раж!!! получается так здорово!!! в это время парень там,
наверху, в считанные мгновенья понимает, что сейчас его просто закинут
на крышу дома, поэтому единственное правильное решение - отстыковаться и
он разжимает руки... на уровне между 3-им и 4-ым этажами... падает на
ноги, ноги не выдерживают его вес, умноженный на скорость, и он падает
на асфальт уже затылком и тихо отключается. Народ с трубой добегает до
стены, всей гурьбой влетают в оную, роняя трубу на недобитого, но уже
очень сильно пострадавшего парня... Сверху из окон потрясающая картина:
светает, под окнами в центре образовавшегося из участников и зевак круга
лежит человек с куском газеты, приклееным ко лбу, расцарапанными в кровь
руками. Человек аккуратно накрыт ржавой трубой диаметром 8-10 см.
В окнах его квартиры горит свет, из окна одной из комнат видно заспанное
лицо его сестры - она все это время была дома.
P.S. А за парня не беспокойтесь - пьяным ведь море по колено. Ну
подумаешь - сотрясение мозга. Зато есть что вспомнить... :)))

German-Turkish politician calls for burqa ban
Two women on a street in Paris, one wearing the burqa, one not.
Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: France and Belgium already banned the burqa earlier this year
Liberal German-Turkish politician Serkan Toeren has called for a ban on the full-body veil worn by Muslim women. Toeren wants to follow in the model set by France and Belgium, which banned the burqa earlier this year.
The liberal parliamentarian Serkan Toeren has demanded a ban on the burqa in Germany. Toeren, who represents the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in the Bundestag, says it was time to have an open debate on the issue.
Toeren, whose constituency is in Lower Saxony, said the full body covering worn by some Muslim women, obscuring the face, posed a threat to public security, and undermined the individuals.
Portrait shot of Serkan Toeren.Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Serkan Toeren is a liberal politician of Turkish origin
"Wearing a full-body veil like the burqa is a breach of human dignity." Toeren told the German daily Leipziger Volkszeitung.
"Women who choose to wear the burqa voluntarily cannot be accepted either, because individuals cannot control human dignity."
A "mobile women's prison"
According to Toeren, the burqa robs women of their dignity and freedom:
"It is supposed to make women more or less invisible, and not present. The burqa is a mobile women's prison."
The FDP spokesman for integration, who is of Turkish origin, does not accept religious reasons as justification for wearing the full-body veil.
"The burqa is not a religious, but rather a political symbol against our state order and a means of suppressing women," said Toeren.
Following a trend in Europe
A ban on the full-body veil is under discussion in a number of European countries. In July the National Assembly in France voted for a ban on the burqa. Belgium banned women from wearing the full-body veil in public earlier this year.
Spain and the United Kingdom are currently discussing whether to introduce a ban.
However, a number of German politicians from various parties are against such a ban. They point to the civil rights of the individual, and say there are very few women who wear the traditional form of Islamic dress in Germany.

Lebanese aid ship to leave for Gaza on Sunday
Beirut - A Lebanese aid vessel carrying women activists is set to leave Sunday en route to Gaza in the latest attempt to defy the Israeli blockade, one of the organizers said Thursday.
Up to 75 women of different nationalities will be on board the Saint Mariam, Samar al Hajj told a news conference in the northern port of Tripoli.
Hajj said the ship would first head for Cyprus, although it was unclear if the Cypriot authorities will grant permission for it to continue on to Gaza.
"There are nuns, doctors, lawyers, journalists, Christian and Muslim women on board," said Hajj. The group includes Lebanese singer May Hariri and a group of nuns from the United States, she added.
The Saint Mariam was due to set off several weeks ago but organizers faced delays after Israel launched a diplomatic effort to pressure Lebanon to stop the journey.
Hajj said the ship was on a humanitarian mission, stocked with medical instruments and cancer medicines for Gaza's Palestinian population.
She said the women were not affiliated to any political group and were aware of the dangers they faced.
"All on board were instructed to carry details of their blood groups in case they need blood transfusions if the event of being attacked by Israeli forces," she said.
Israeli commandoes stormed a Turkish vessel tyring to break the blockade in May, killing nine activists on board.
Hajj said the latest mission was not intended to provoke the Israelis, who have imposed a blockade of the Gaza Strip since 2007 in a bid to prevent militants obtaining weapons to use against the Jewish state.

Up to 75 women of different nationalities will be on board the Saint Mariam, Samar al Hajj told a news conference in the northern port of Tripoli.
Hajj said the ship would first head for Cyprus, although it was unclear if the Cypriot authorities will grant permission for it to continue on to Gaza.
"There are nuns, doctors, lawyers, journalists, Christian and Muslim women on board," said Hajj. The group includes Lebanese singer May Hariri and a group of nuns from the United States, she added.
The Saint Mariam was due to set off several weeks ago but organizers faced delays after Israel launched a diplomatic effort to pressure Lebanon to stop the journey.

Iran test fires new surface-to-surface missile - Summary
Tehran - Iranian Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi said that the country on Friday test fired a new surface-to-surface missile named Qiam-1.
Speaking at the Friday prayer ceremony in Tehran, the general said that the test was successful.
The missile was fired one day before the opening of Iran's first nuclear power plant in the Gulf port of Bushehr in the south of the country, amid speculation that the plant might be attacked before becoming operational.
State television showed footage of the launch but did not disclose the venue.
Vahidi said the Qiam-1, which means uprising, was solely designed and built by local experts at the defence ministry, runs on liquid fuel and hits targets with a higher precision than its predecessors.
He added that the missile has no wings, making it faster and more difficult to intercept.
"This project is a huge step in Iran's missile development," the minister said without giving any details on the missile's range.
Vahidi said earlier this week that on Sunday, which marks National Defence Industry Day, Iran would test fire more missiles and also unveil its first domestically manufactured long-range unmanned aerial vehicle.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps tested five new missiles during military manoeuvres in the Gulf last April, including land-to-sea and sea-to-sea missiles produced domestically.
The armed forces have stepped up their manoeuvres in the wake of renewed speculation about possible Israeli airstrikes against the country's nuclear sites.
Tehran says its army is not trained to attack another country, but the West fears Iran could launch a missile strike against Israel, especially with its Shahab-missiles, which reportedly have a range of 2,000 kilometres, capable of reaching any part of the Jewish state.

Egyptian doctor faces trial for girl's death after circumcision
Cairo - An Egyptian doctor will stand trial for manslaughter, after a 13-year-old girl on whom he performed a circumcision operation died, local media reported on Friday.
The doctor was arrested after an unknown woman reported the incident to a hotline service set up in Egypt to help in cases involving female genital mutilation practices.
The girl was reportedly buried without a death certificate in the Nile Delta province of Menoufiya.
Egypt banned female circumcision in 2008, and top Muslim and Christian preachers have campaigned against the practice.
Despite the ban, female genital mutilation remains widely practiced in rural areas of the North African country.
According to the United Nations Children's Fund, there are 150 million girls and women worldwide whose genitals have been mutilated. Most of them are in African and Arab countries.

Thai court rules to extradite alleged Russian arms dealer - Summary
Bangkok - A Thai appeals court on Friday ruled to extradite suspected arms dealer Viktor Bout to the US, overturning a previous decision by a lower court.
Russian national Bout, after hearing the verdict, hugged his wife Alla and their daughter, both of whom were in tears.
The court said Bout, dubbed the Merchant of Death by his critics, must be extradited within three months, or else be permitted to go free, in keeping with Thailand's extradition rules.
"This verdict has damaged our relations with another country," Bout's lawyer Lak Nittiwattanawichan said. "The US government has interfered with our judicial system," he said.
But Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said that the case would have no negative impact on ties with either Russia or the US.
"This was a court decision," Abhisit said. "It was not a matter of politics or favouritism to one side. We will explain the facts in the case to both sides," he said.
Russia has pleaded with Thai authorities for Bout's freedom, claiming there was no proof that the former Soviet air force officer was an arms dealer.
His alleged exploits inspired the 2005 Hollywood movie Lord of War, starring Nicolas Cage.
Bout, 44, has been imprisoned since his arrest in Bangkok in March 2008, when he was caught in a sting operation led by US agents who posed as arms buyers for a leftist rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
He was indicted in the US for attempting to sell weapons to a terrorist group and Washington sought his extradition to face charges there.
The Bangkok Criminal Court last year rejected the extradition request, claiming Thailand deemed FARC a political group, not terrorists, and Thai law prohibits extradition for political offences.
Prosecutors appealed the verdict.
The Bangkok Appeal Court ruled that Bout had engaged in criminal activities, not political ones, and thus should be extradited.
Public prosecutors had submitted a new case against Bout for money-laundering, in case the appeal court upheld the lower court's ruling.
It was not clear whether the prosecutors would now drop that case, which was accepted by the Criminal Court Friday.

Islamists outdone by Moderate Pakistanis in flood relief
Print this article email this article Comment on this article
Islamabad - Islamists might be more organized in their relief activities for the millions of flood victims across Pakistan and even better at publicising their efforts for political gain, but ordinary, moderate people are far ahead on the ground.
Saira Bano, 24, does not have links with any political or religious groups. What motivated her was empathy for the flood victims. After a couple of consultations with her classmates at Islamabad's National University of Modern Languages, which promotes moderate and liberal values, Bano launched a campaign to help.
"We started donation collections from the university. We asked the students to give whatever they can do - all of their pocket money or just one rupee, a glass, a bag of wheat flour or bottle of water," she said. "We collected much more than we expected."
Within few days, Bano, her classmates and teachers at the international relations department had raised 4,705 dollars and collected used clothes for the flood-affected people.
"We went to the market, bought ourselves the items and packed them here at the University," Bano said. "Each packet consisted of two-time uncooked meal for a family of seven to eight people, and clothes for male, female members of the family and children."
The three truck loads of aid were distributed in Nowshera, a city in the north-western province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa where the floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains devastated large areas and forced millions to take refuge in relief camps or stay in the open.
Encouraged by the early success, Bano and her colleagues collected donations and now have enough money to dispatch several trucks of relief items to the central province of Punjab.
"Our department has only 60 volunteers but almost every department in this university and all the other universities in Islamabad are helping the flood victims. Everyone is helping them - not only the Islamists or extremists," Bano said.
More and more educated, moderate Muslims are getting involved as awareness about the extent of the disaster is growing in Pakistan, mainly thanks to the country's proliferating television channels.
"So far the focus has been on the organizations that are linked with militancy. Everybody believes that perhaps these are the ones which are doing the most in terms of providing aid to the flood victims. But that's not a true perception," said Rasool Bux Raees, a political scientist at Lahore University of Management Sciences.
"Militants are visible in relief activities not because of the reality on ground but because of the Western media's sensitivity towards them," Raees said. "Whatever little they do is highlighted because of this attitude of the Western media and the good work of the rest of the general society and organizations remains unacknowledged."
With little wish to publicize their good works, tens of thousands of Pakistani people are mobilized at community level.
Hundreds of doctors and nurses are travelling from town to town and village to village to provide free medical aid to flood victims. Agriculture scientists are volunteering to advise farmers how they can restore their livelihoods.
Artists are helping out, too. Pop star Abrar-ul-Haq, despised by many Islamists for his bold songs, has recruited hundreds of fans and volunteers for the relief work using his charity, Sahara for Life.
As the workers carry food items to the affected areas, Haq is in Britain to raise funds.
A popular TV anchor Talat Hussain joined hands with Kashif Abbasi, a competitor from another channel, and raised millions of rupees. Both journalists are viewed as severe critics of the government.
"People are giving donations only to those people who have some credibility. The government under President Asif Ali Zardari has no credibility," said Raees.
Zardari spent several years in prison while facing corruption charges though he was never convicted.
"People even don't trust those westernized non-governmental organizations which are run by the westernized women who participate in television shows with fancy clothes and thick layers of make-up on their faces," said Raees. "They are from the elite Pakistani class which has robbed the poor public over the years, and yet the international donors only trust them."
According to Raees, the international organizations, including the UN, which have no direct link to ordinary Pakistanis, should rely on the groups and individuals who "dress like Pakistanis, who talk like Pakistanis, whether they are religious or moderate."
"Only such individuals and organizations can understand the actual needs of the flood victims," he added.

Russia, Armenia sign military cooperation pact through 2044
Yerevan/Moscow - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met Friday in Yerivan with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan and assured Armenia of Moscow's military protection for Armenia.
The two leaders signed an agreement extending the stationing of Russian forces in Armenia until 2044, with Medvedev assuring Moscow's military protection if the country is attacked by Azerbaijan, the Interfax agency reported.
"Russia's task as the largest and most powerful state in the region consists of securing peace and order," Medvedev said in Yerevan, capital of the former Soviet republic.
His remarks come to the backdrop of repeated warnings by Azerbaijan of its aim to re-take the Berg-Karabach region which came under Armenia's control after bitter war in the early 1990s.
Some 30,000 people were killed in the fighting then in which Russia eventually came to back Armenia. A shaky ceasefire accord has been in effect since 1994.
The new agreement extends the original one from 1995 which foresaw the stationing of Russian troops in Armenia until the year 2020.
Interfax reported that about 3,500 Russian soldiers are stationed in the cities of Yerevan and Gyumri, about 100 kilometres north-west of the capital.
The signing ceremony came as Medvedev was wrapping up a brief visit after attending a conference in the Black Sea resort of Sochi with the leaders of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan earlier in the week.

Expelled Roma return to Romania from France - Summary
Posted : Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:03:56 GMT
Bucharest/Sofia - Dozens of Roma arrived in the Romanian capital Bucharest Thursday after France began a controversial expulsion of Roma migrants despite criticism at home and abroad.
Two flights from Lyon and Paris arrived at Bucharest airport within an hour of each other during the afternoon.
The exact number was unclear, with Romanian media quoting French border police as saying that 70 Roma were expelled, while Romanian officials spoke of 93 migrants.
A total of 371 Roma are expected to be sent back to Romania by mid-September, with another 41 going to Bulgaria, 13 of them next Wednesday.
French government officials said the Roma were leaving "on a voluntary basis," after each adult was paid 300 euros (390 dollars) and 100 additional euros for each child.
However, some in the first group of six young men and a family of eight who arrived from Paris said they did not receive any money.
It is the largest expulsion seen in France since President Nicolas Sarkozy called for tougher action against Roma living in the country illegally.
Since Romanian and Bulgarian Roma are considered European Union citizens, they can return anytime, but can be deported if they commit a punishable crime or are deemed a burden on society.
France plans to start recording the digital fingerprints of voluntary deportees in September to prevent people from seeking the financial benefit from repatriation more than once.
The Central Council of German Sinti and Roma called on the French government to abandon the expulsions, arguing that the migrants involved are being sent back to extreme poverty and hardship.
Bulgarian politicians called the expulsions a "superficial" attempt to solve the problem and warned that Roma issue is "a European problem" and not just Romanian, Bulgarian or French
Leading politicians in Romania, on the other hand, were more restrained. President Traian Basescu pledged cooperation with Paris in the handling of Roma criminals, announcing that more police officials would be dispatched to France.
"We understand the position of the French government," he said. "At the same time, we support without reservation the right of every Romanian citizen to move freely within the EU."
Meanwhile, French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux called on the European Union to do more for the integration of Roma.
"I am waiting for the European Commission to show that it is capable of facilitating the Roma's access to education, jobs and apartments," he said.
The Commission's spokeswoman said Thursday there are 17.5 billion euros available over 2007-2013 period to finance Roma inclusion projects, which she defined as "a lot of money."
However, Matthew Newman, spokesman for Justice commissioner Viviane Reding, stressed that "it's ultimately member states' responsibility to use these funds, they need to come up with specific projects."
French Secretary of State for Family Affairs Nadine Morano said her country would pursue an agreement with Romania to regulate how unaccompanied Roma minors who end up in custody should be handled.
A corresponding text is to be taken up by the National Assembly in the autumn, she told the broadcaster Europe1.
At the same time, she criticized the exploitation of some Roma children.
"When you see these people, who sit on the street and use children to beg - some of whom have been given pills so they are dazed and sleep - then I think that you can't accept this behaviour," she said.
Roma - or Gypsies - can usually be seen on the streets begging, often with children and are considered as a nuisance by many, while their camps are seen as sources of children's exploitation and prostitution.
The expulsion action came after French authorities cleared more than 50 illegal Roma encampments in the last few weeks.
Hortefeux had announced in July that the government intended to dismantle half of all the illegal Gypsy camps in the country - or about 300 - within three months. It also pledged to take harsher measures against criminals among them.
The clampdown came in the wake of a violent clash between police and a group of travellers earlier in July. The riots followed the death of a young Roma man at the hands of police.
The decision to dismantle the camps has been widely criticized by human rights associations, trade unions and opposition politicians, with some saying it amounts to racism and xenophobia.
French opposition politicians have also accused the government of turning the Roma and other itinerants into scapegoats, and using them to deflect attention from ongoing political scandals. dpa kol amh dms mis kl alv kspAuthor: Ulrike Koltermann and Ksenija Prodanovic

Romania kicks out Russian diplomat - Summary
Bucharest- Romania ordered a Russian diplomat out of the country Tuesday in a tit-for-tat expulsion for the arrest of an alleged Romanian spy in Moscow.
The foreign ministry said the first secretary at the Russian ambassy in Bucharest had been declared persona non grata and given 48 hours to leave the country.
Earlier the ministry protested at the arrest of one of its diplomats on espionage charges in Moscow, threatening to take the "necessary steps" over what it said was a violation of the Geneva Convention protecting the immunity of diplomats.
In a note handed to the Russian embassy in Bucharest, the ministry complained of the "completely inappropriate treatment" of its diplomat and the way in which the incident was presented to Russian media.
The Russian intelligence service (FSB) said Monday it had arrested Gabriel Grecu as he attempted to buy military secrets from a Russian citizen.
The diplomat had worked as the first secretary in the political department of the Romanian embassy, but was actually a member of the Romanian secret service, the FSB said.
"Items of spying equipment that fully reveal his hostile activity against Russia have been confiscated from the intelligence officer," the FSB said in a statement.
The diplomat was declared persona non grata and ordered to leave Russia within 48 hours.
Bucharest and Moscow have traditionally had an uneasy relationship. This has worsened since Romania, a former Warsaw Pact country, joined NATO in 2004 and particularly since its open efforts to Westernize its neighbour, the former Soviet republic Moldova. dpa kl bb hl mis Author: Kathrin Lauer

Суд отправляет в колонию мать четверых детей за хищение. В отличие от дочери чиновницы, сбившей людей, ей не дали отсрочку
Районный суд Тольятти приговорил мать четверых детей, которая находится сейчас на седьмом месяце беременности, к трем годам колонии за экономическое преступление. При этом никаких отсрочек на воспитание детей, как в скандальном деле дочери иркутской чиновницы, сбившей двух человек на тротуаре, суд не предоставил. СМИ подняли тему избирательности российских судов в отношении подобных поблажек.
Юлию Круглову признали виновной в хищении 16 млн рублей у самарского филиала страховой компании "Оранта", где она работала директором. Непосредственно приговор вызывает множество вопросов. Во-первых, сторона обвинения - представитель компании "Оранта" - не смогла привести в суд свидетелей мошеннической сделки. Во-вторых, конкретных улик преступление не нашлось. Сама Юлия Круглова утверждает, что фирму обанкротили специально, а дело на нее просто повесили.
Суд проходил в июне этого года. Сразу после заседания, на котором был оглашен приговор, беременную женщину посадили в грузовую машину и три часа по жаре везли по городу, а затем заставили просидеть долгое время в СИЗО. В итоге ей стало плохо, и ее пришлось везти в тюремную больницу Самары, где на все отделение два унитаза, один умывальник и баня раз в неделю, отмечают "Вести".
Сейчас у Юлии Кругловой возникли осложнения, из-за которых под угрозой и ее жизнь, и жизнь ребенка. Медики не исключают вероятности преждевременных родов и утверждают, что понадобится специальная операция. Тюремные врачи уже начали бить тревогу и даже пригласили гражданских коллег из самарских клиник, чтобы те провели дополнительное обследование, рассказала "Новой газете" юрист Светлана Бахмина.
Прокуратура просит заменить реальный срок условным или предоставить отсрочку. Администрация тюрьмы, где сидит женщина, предоставила суду беспрецедентное письмо, в котором поддержала ходатайство об освобождении Юли из-под стражи, поданное ее адвокатом.
Между тем суд отказал в ходатайстве об изменении меры пресечения до кассации. При этом суд не передает дело в кассационную инстанцию уже более месяца, несмотря на многочисленные просьбы защиты и в нарушение закона.
Предоставлять отсрочку суд также отказывается, так как у детей есть отец. Однако стоит отметить, что он попал под сокращение и живет только на пенсию. Он уже написал о своей ситуации президенту Дмитрию Медведеву, в Верховный и областной суд. Последний ответил, что сможет рассмотреть дело не раньше середины сентября, так как сильно загружен.
При этом сторона обвинения настаивает на том, что Юлия Круглова должна находиться за решеткой, и обжалует приговор, который считает слишком мягким. Представитель компании "Оранта" требует, чтобы Круглову посадили не на три года, а на семь лет. Причем, как рассказала Бахмина, которая лично обратилась за разъяснениями в компанию, бывшие работодатели заявили на суде, что женщина якобы родила последних двух детей, чтобы беспрепятственно совершать преступления.
"Если она (Юлия Круглова) содержится в очень тяжелых условиях - это покушение на детей. Лучше домашний арест. Что, она сбежит от пятерых детей? Такого рода меры либо не очень квалифицированы, либо грешат предвзятостью", - говорит Владимир Лукин, уполномоченный по правам человека в РФ.
Пресса также поднимает вопрос о предвзятости решения тольяттинского районного суда, который отказывает в отсрочке многодетной матери. При этом СМИ приводят в пример недавнее решение иркутского суда по громкому делу Анны Шавенковой - дочери местной чиновницы, сбившей на своей иномарке двух сестер на тротуаре. Ее мать работает председателем областного избиркома.
17 августа Кировский районный суд Иркутска приговорил Шавенкову к трем годам колонии-поселения, но отбывать наказание она начнет только в 2024 году, когда ее ребенку исполнится 14 лет.
Страшное ДТП произошло в центре Иркутска 2 декабря 2009 года. По некоторым данным, перестраиваясь из ряда в ряд, неопытная лихачка перепутала педали газа и тормоза и потеряла управление. Одна из девушек скончалась в больнице, не приходя в сознание, а другая на всю жизнь осталась инвалидом.
Дело вызвало огромный резонанс благодаря тому, что в интернет попала видеозапись с места происшествия, где отчетливо видно, как иномарка Шавенковой буквально смела двух сестер и впечатала их в стену здания. Больше всего зрителей возмутило то, что женщина даже не подошла к сбитым ею пешеходам, а первым делом начала осматривать повреждения автомобиля. Скорую помощь вызвали прохожие.
Юлию Круглову признали виновной в хищении 16 млн рублей у самарского филиала страховой компании "Оранта", где она работала директором. Непосредственно приговор вызывает множество вопросов. Во-первых, сторона обвинения - представитель компании "Оранта" - не смогла привести в суд свидетелей мошеннической сделки. Во-вторых, конкретных улик преступление не нашлось. Сама Юлия Круглова утверждает, что фирму обанкротили специально, а дело на нее просто повесили.
Суд проходил в июне этого года. Сразу после заседания, на котором был оглашен приговор, беременную женщину посадили в грузовую машину и три часа по жаре везли по городу, а затем заставили просидеть долгое время в СИЗО. В итоге ей стало плохо, и ее пришлось везти в тюремную больницу Самары, где на все отделение два унитаза, один умывальник и баня раз в неделю, отмечают "Вести".

Earth's Overdraft Notice.On Saturday,August the 21st, we exceed nature’s budget
On Saturday, we exceed nature’s budget
It has taken humanity less than nine months to exhaust its ecological budget for the year, according to Global Footprint Network calculations.
Tomorrow, August 21, we will reach Earth Overshoot Day: the day of the year in which human demand on the biosphere exceeds what it can regenerate. As of that day, humanity will have demanded all the ecological services – from filtering CO2 to producing the raw materials for food – that nature can regenerate this year. For the rest of the year, we will meet our ecological demand by depleting resource stocks and accumulating greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
“If you spent your entire annual income in nine months, you would probably be extremely concerned,” said Global Footprint Network President Mathis Wackernagel. “The situation is no less dire when it comes to our ecological budget. Climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, water and food shortages are all clear signs: We can no longer finance our consumption on credit. Nature is foreclosing.”

A New Form of Chlorophyll?
Researchers may have found a new form of chlorophyll, the pigment that plants, algae and cyanobacteria use to obtain energy from light through photosynthesis. Preliminary findings published August 19 in Science suggest that the newly discovered molecule, dubbed chlorophyll f, has a distinct chemical composition when compared with the four known forms of chlorophyll and can absorb more near-infrared light than is typical for the photosynthetic pigments. Chlorophyll f, which was extracted from cultures of cyanobacteria and other oxygenic microorganisms, may allow certain photosynthetic life forms to harvest energy from wavelengths of light that many of their competitors cannot use.
"This is the most red-shifted chlorophyll we have found in nature," says Min Chen, a biologist at The University of Sydney in Australia and lead author of the study. "That means that organisms that have this chlorophyll inside can extend their photosynthetic range for maximum use of solar energy."
Some photosynthetic bacteria are known to use infrared light, but—in contrast to plants and cyanobacteria—these microorganisms do not produce oxygen. Instead, they rely on anoxygenic photosynthesis, which can function on the low-energy photons provided by infrared light. "Nobody thought that oxygen-generating organisms were capable of using infrared light, because the kind of photosynthesis that actually produces oxygen is thought to require a greater amount of photon energy from visible light," says Samuel Beale, a molecular biologist at Brown University whose work centers in part on chlorophylls. "I think what they found here is a new modification of chlorophyll that shows the flexibility of photosynthetic organisms to use whatever light is available."
Robert Blankenship, a photosynthesis expert at Washington University in St. Louis, agrees that the discovery is significant. "I think this is a very important new development and is the first new type of chlorophyll discovered in an oxygenic organism in sixty years," he wrote via e-mail.
Other researchers are more cautious about the findings. John Clark Lagarias, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Davis, points out that earlier research suggests some oxygen-producing cyanobacteria can harvest energy from near-infrared light using chlorophyll d—one of the four known varieties of chlorophyll, which also include chlorophylls a, b and c. But the new paper still interests Lagarias: "It's an exciting potential discovery, and if it's true it provides a second example of a red-shifted-chlorophyll-containing organism," he says. "We don't know for sure that it's used for photosynthesis, but we know it's absorbing light and it's likely to be involved in photosynthetic apparatus somehow. It could be a bona fide new form of chlorophyll that exists in something living."
In July 2008, Min's colleagues collected samples of stromatolites—structures formed from layers of cyanobacteria, calcium carbonate and sediments— and microbial mats from Hamelin Pool in Shark Bay, Western Australia, which is known to contain some of the most diverse and oldest stromatolites in the world. Cyanobacteria and other microorganisms build stromatolites in shallow water as they grow, gradually trapping and binding sediments into the small rock-like towers and mounds. Chen ground up the samples in a mortar and pestle and cultured the microorganisms in petri dishes under continuous illumination by near-infrared LEDs. Eventually, only microorganisms like cyanobacteria capable of photosynthesis using near-infrared light survived in the cultures.
