<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong></strong> <!-- end: postbit_posturl --><strong>Waters Says He&#8217;ll Perform if Israel Tears Down Wall </strong></p>
<div id="pid_354070"><a href="http://fligmana.wordpress.com"><img src="http://www.pinkfloydonline.com/waters_israel1.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: waters_israel1.jpg]" /></a></p>
<p>Waters Says He&#8217;ll Perform if Israel Tears Down Wall</p>
<p>Pink Floyd&#8217;s former frontman Roger Waters said Tuesday he&#8217;ll take to the stage the minute Israel tears down its West Bank separation wall, just as he did in Berlin two decades ago when another wall came down.</p>
<p>Visiting a Palestinian refugee camp in the shadows of the <a href="http://slingostyle.com/">towering concrete structure</a>, the British rocker who co-wrote the iconic 1970s album &#8220;The Wall&#8221; said he hopes &#8220;this awful thing is destroyed soon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Waters, 65, said the West Bank wall has been on his mind since he first saw it up close in what he described as an eye-opening visit in 2006, following a concert in Israel.</p>
<p>&#8220;People who haven&#8217;t actually seen this, what&#8217;s going on here, can&#8217;t actually imagine the impression that it has on you, the sick, kind of churning feeling that you get in your very heart when you see this, how depressing it is,&#8221; Waters told The Associated Press in an interview.</p>
<p>Water&#8217;s comments didn&#8217;t sit very well with Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev, who, quoting The Wall&#8217;s most famous lyric, said &#8220;we don&#8217;t need no education&#8221; from Waters.</p>
<p>Israel began building the barrier — a concrete wall in urban areas and fence with sensors and barbed wire along rural stretches — in 2002 following Palestinian bombings and shooting attacks on Israeli civilians. Israel insists it&#8217;s a temporary security measure.</p>
<p>Palestinians says it&#8217;s a land grab because, once the final third is built, it will slice off 10 percent of the West Bank, part of the lands they want for their state.</p>
<p>The stretch of barrier between Jerusalem and the biblical West Bank town of Bethlehem consists of graffiti-covered gray slabs, with army watchtowers rising up at intervals. At an Israeli-run wall crossing, large crowds of Palestinians wait in long lines, particularly during morning rush hour, to reach jobs in Israel.</p>
<p>On the northern outskirts of Bethlehem, the Aida refugee camp, home to about 5,000 Palestinians, abuts the wall. Palestinian officials often escort foreign dignitaries to the camp — among them Pope Benedict XVI during his Holy Land pilgrimage last month — to illustrate the disruption of daily life by the barrier.</p>
<p>Waters dismissed Israel&#8217;s security argument, saying he believes the wall &#8220;is not here to stop Israelis being blown up on buses.&#8221; He said if that was the sole reason, &#8220;what&#8217;s it doing in the occupied territories, surrounding settlements and cutting (Palestinian) farmers off from their olive trees and so on and so forth?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is an exercise of colonialism,&#8221; said Waters.</p>
<p>Regev said the barrier has sharply reduced Palestinian attacks, which have killed hundreds of Israelis since the outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian fighting in 2000.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t need no education about suicide bombers coming into Israel and murdering innocent people, and how the security barrier has prevented that by more than 95 percent.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Waters said he believes the barrier is indefensible.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you stand in front of an edifice like this, whether it&#8217;s here or outside a township in South Africa, or in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Second World War, or in Berlin in the 60s and 70s, it&#8217;s something you know instinctively that this is wrong. It&#8217;s a bad thing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It cannot survive forever.&#8221;</p>
<p>If it does come down one day, he said, he&#8217;ll perform at the site, just like he did in 1990, at a spot where the Berlin Wall had fallen just a year earlier. &#8220;In fact, I would insist on it,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>In the meantime, he&#8217;s considering performing elsewhere in the West Bank, perhaps in the town of Ramallah, but has not made firm plans. On Monday, Waters visited a refugee camp in the northern town of Jenin to support efforts to reopen a local movie house that closed in 1987.</p>
<p>When he played in Israel in 2006, he was criticized by Palestinian activists trying to organize a cultural boycott of Israel. Waters said he now feels ambivalent about having performed in Israel.</p>
<p>Waters, who left Pink Floyd in 1985, ruled out a reunion with his former band mates; their last joint performance was in 2005, for a Live 8 concert. &#8220;We had a great career as Pink Floyd. We all enjoyed it. We all worked together and enjoyed everything and it was brilliant. I think it&#8217;s over,&#8221; he said.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I had a daughter.  Her name was Chloe.  I made her out of sand and shells.  And this, I said to her, is why I came.  The sea was everywhere that day.  Its sounds, its smells.  And afterward, when it dissolved my Chloe away and wore my heart to glass, I knew and I refused to say, Goodbye.  And then my wife, who ordinarily would never cry, began.  Her tears flooded the basement and the yard.  And soon the moon started to influence the tide.  Hello, I said to the moon.  Hello, I said to the flood.  Hello, I said to the smooth and see-through surface that was my heart.  And though no answer came, no and-how-do-you-do-too, I knew.  I knew.  My life was going to be the only life I lived.  Love it or not.  This is how I learned to let the light shine through.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Another parody I wrote (no need to fear this one actually getting sung; no guy in my family can sing).</p>
<p>To the tune of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JZUHFuklo8"><em>Beer For My Horses</em></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Joey, man, come on. The mainstream news</p>
<p>Says we&#8217;re really hot. They don&#8217;t have any clue.</p>
<p>My buddy blew up a building.</p>
<p>My buddy says I&#8217;m a star.</p>
<p>My buddy got away.</p>
<p>My buddy didn&#8217;t go too far. Yeah.</p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t go too far.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>Grandpappy told my pappy &#8220;Back in my day, son</p>
<p>A man didn&#8217;t lie &#8217;bout the fightin&#8217; he&#8217;d done,</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t promise hope to us,</p>
<p>Not to you or me, round up all of them bad boys,</p>
<p>Make them part of his team. Don&#8217;t make them part of your team.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>&#8216;Cuz substance is the one thing you will never find</p>
<p>If you promise hope &#8216;n change without them being defined.&#8221;</p>
<p>When those ballots settle they&#8217;ll sing a victory tune</p>
<p>If ACORN don&#8217;t register any loons.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll raise up our glasses against U.S. forces,</p>
<p>Singing &#8220;We&#8217;re not liable for none of our choices.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>Not enough thugs doin&#8217; dirty deeds.</p>
<p>Too many objects to slaking my greed.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time the long arm of the law shut Rush Limbaugh down!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time the great Fairness Doctrine came back around.</p>
<p>You can bet we&#8217;ll shut him down.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>&#8216;Cuz substance is the one thing they will never find</p>
<p>Since we promise hope &#8216;n change without them being defined.</p>
<p>When those ballots settle they&#8217;ll sing a victory tune</p>
<p>If ACORN don&#8217;t register any loons.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll raise up our glasses against U.S. forces,</p>
<p>Singing &#8220;We&#8217;re not liable for none of our choices.&#8221;</p>
<p>Singing &#8220;We&#8217;re not liable for none of our choices.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is an update from the original <a href="http://guffyconservative.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/obama-hates-me/"><em>Obama Hates Me</em></a> post. I am <em>not</em> a singer, but my sister happened to visit my house today, and she is. No instruments and you can kind of tell it was made by amateurs, but it&#8217;s good if I do say so myself. Slightly different lyrics from the original.</p>
<p><em>Obama Hates Me</em>, a SCAAC original parody: Written by Guffy Conservative with Contributions from SisterO. Sung by SisterO (<a href="http://www.box.net/shared/t71uhhp660">download</a>):</p>
<blockquote><p>Obama hates me. This I know.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Wright">Jeremiah</a> tells me so.</p>

<p>That <a href="http://guffyconservative.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/gc-random- thoughts/">random thought</a> got me going, so here&#8217;s a complete parody (of <em>Jesus Loves Me</em>) (the links are really just to give you an idea of what the song&#8217;s talking about):</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The problem with your attitude is the attitude you have,<br />
Your big, white, fucking pickup truck,<br />
Is big and white and sad,<br />
The whole world knows you compensate,<br />
For what you wish you had,<br />
But the world is wide, and lacks insight:<br />
Your dick’s of soup can size,<br />
And second only to your truck,<br />
It truly is your prize,<br />
But having a giant dick doesn’t mean shit when you just came in your underwear, does it?<br />
No, I didn’t think so.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ποντιακή, βαλκανική μουσική και metal. Αυτές τις τρεις μουσικές συνδυάζουν οι Kultur Shock και φτιάχνουν το αριστούργημα που λέγεται &#8220;We came to take your jobs away&#8221;. Σε όλο το album υπάρχει μία διάχυτη διάθεση για party και χαβαλέ και καλώς εννοούμενη μαγκιά, από τον ερειστικό και αρχιδάτο τίτλο μέχρι τη μελωδία του &#8220;πέντε χρόνια δικασμένος&#8221; στο &#8220;Mano mi hermano&#8221;.<img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-176" title="cover_jobs300" src="http://5kazekage.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/cover_jobs300.jpg?w=150" alt="cover_jobs300" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>Oι kultur shock είναι μπάντα με στοιχεία από πολλούς πολιτισμούς και αυτό οφείλεται εν μέρει στην καταγωγή των μελών της, τέσσερις Αμερικάνοι, ένας Βόσνιος, ένας Βούλγαρος και ένας από την Ινδονησία. Είναι πραγματικά περιέργο πως ένα τέτοιο αταίριαστο σύνολο καταλήγει σε ένα τόσο δεμένο αποτέλεσμα, αλλά δεν νομίζω ότι μας νοιάζει η χημεία τους, Let&#8217;s party!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Espero que achem interessante o artigo.</p>
<p>Nota: Está em brasileiro. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>V</em></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>ocê vê cadeados com segredo todos os dias, mas já parou para pensar o que há dentro deles? Neste artigo, descobriremos os segredos desse tipo de cadeado. Aqui está o cadeado que vamos explorar: </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.hsw.com.br/inside-gif/lock/lock1.jpg" alt="" width="400" /></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Abrir um cadeado nem sempre é fácil. Se fosse fácil, não haveria a necessidade de utilizar um. Mas uma vez que consegue abrir um cadeado, podemos encontrar um acúmulo de peças semelhantes:</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.hsw.com.br/inside-gif/lock/lock6.jpg" alt="" width="400" /></em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Existem normalmente três cames em um cadeado com segredo. Neste cadeado, um dos cames é de metal e ligado diretamente à parte dianteira que gira. Os outros dois cames são de plástico. Existem dois espaçadores de plástico que se ajustam entre os cames:</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.hsw.com.br/inside-gif/lock/lock6.jpg" alt="" width="400" /></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Eles se encaixam em um eixo na parte de trás do cadeado com uma mola que pressiona a pilha de cames juntas quando o cadeado é montado. A mola causa fricção entre os cames para prendê-los no local.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.hsw.com.br/inside-gif/lock/lock5.jpg" alt="" width="400" /></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Os cames possuem um dente em cada lado e esses dentes se encaixam quando os cames giram:</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.hsw.com.br/inside-gif/lock/lock-plates.gif" alt="" /></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>O objetivo dos cames é regular o trinco que encaixa a extremidade do gancho do cadeado. Os cames possuem reentrâncias. Quando elas se alinham adequadamente, a trava consegue se encaixar nelas e liberar o gancho:</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.hsw.com.br/inside-gif/lock/lock2.jpg" alt="" /></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>De outra forma, a trava encaixa o gancho assim:</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.hsw.com.br/inside-gif/lock/lock3.jpg" alt="" /></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Veja o exemplo: &#8220;Gire o disco duas voltas completas em sentido horário para o primeiro número da combinação. Depois gire em sentido anti-horário e passe do primeiro número para o segundo número. Depois gire em sentido horário até o terceiro número e o cadeado se abrirá&#8221;.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Agora você compreenderá por que precisa fazer isso. Girando o indicador duas voltas completas, você conseguirá encaixar os dentes dos três cames, de maneira que os três cames girem como um só. Quando você girar em sentido anti-horário, somente o came superior estará girando. Quando você passa pelo primeiro número, o dente do primeiro came se encaixa no segundo came, de maneira que agora os dois cames estão se movendo. A fricção gerada pela mola, entretanto, mantém o terceiro came em sua posição. Quando você gira o disco em sentido horário novamente, somente o came do topo gira. Uma vez que as três reentrâncias estiverem alinhadas adequadamente por este processo, o cadeado se abrirá.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em> Teoricamente, você poderia colocar 4 (ou 10) cames caso desejasse. Seria cansativo abrir o cadeado, mas certamente seria mais seguro!</em></span></p>

Quando você passa pelo primeiro número, o dente do primeiro came se encaixa no segundo came, de maneira que agora os dois cames estão se movendo. A fricção gerada pela mola, entretanto, mantém o terceiro came em sua posição. Quando você gira o disco em sentido horário novamente, somente o came do topo gira. Uma vez que as três reentrâncias estiverem alinhadas adequadamente por este processo, o cadeado se abrirá.  Teoricamente, você poderia colocar 4 (ou 10) cames caso desejasse. Seria cansativo abrir o cadeado, mas certamente seria mais seguro!" target="_blank">How Stuff Works</a><br />

<description><![CDATA[Les hyperconnectés sont qualifiés fréquemment de toxicomanes du web. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, blo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Les hyperconnectés sont qualifiés fréquemment de toxicomanes du web. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, blogs, jeux en ligne (MMORPG), ils ont du mal à décrocher du mulot, du clavier et de l&#8217;écran. Une version plus spécialisée, les drogués des médias, ou <strong><em>news junkies</em></strong>, sont dans une recherche permanente et monomaniaque de l&#8217;information.</p>
<p>Un élément de des comportements de ces camés de l&#8217;info, et dans une moindre mesure des web addicts (les joueurs en ligne constituent un cas à part, en particulier quand ils en deviennent <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku"><em>otaku</em></a>, reclus chez eux) n&#8217;est pas suffisament mis en avant. Le véritable plaisir de cette addiction n&#8217;est pas dans l&#8217;acte lui-même mais dans son exploitation sociale <em>a posteriori</em>.</p>
<p><!--more-->Dans une toxicomanie habituelle, qu&#8217;il s&#8217;agisse de substances psychotropes, de comportements sociaux (sexe, nourriture, pouvoir) ou d&#8217;alcoolisme, le plaisir, ce qui fait revenir à la chose est dans l&#8217;acte lui-même. Le fix, le sniff, l&#8217;orgie, le verre, c&#8217;est la <strong>consommation </strong>qui donne satisfaction, et qui donne envie de revenir par la suite à l&#8217;état de plaisir ou de satisfaction.</p>
<p>Après, c&#8217;est la chute, la descente, le manque. Il faut donc recommencer, car la privation stresse, et génère l&#8217;envie, psychologique et/ou psychique, de s&#8217;adonner à nouveau à son plaisir. Car en dehors des pratiques ou substances sévèrement addictives, c&#8217;est bien le besoin de recréer les conditions du plaisir qui pousse à recommencer. Progressivement, on en vient à augmenter les doses pour retrouver les effets désirés, c&#8217;est l&#8217;accoutumance.</p>
<p>Dans le cas des news junkies et des web addicts, il n&#8217;est pas du tout certain que le seul plaisir provienne de l&#8217;acte. Bloguer, commenter, twitter, chercher l&#8217;information, la commenter et l&#8217;enrichir, enquêter soi-même, parcourir au hasard son graphe social&#8230; Il y a là une certaine excitation. C&#8217;est le cas par exemple des moments que l&#8217;on perçoit comme historiques, quand on est face à des événements prenants, d&#8217;ordre privé ou globaux.</p>
<p>On peut ressentir le frisson, l&#8217;<strong>adrénaline</strong> quand le temps presse ou que l&#8217;information s&#8217;accélère (11 septembre 2001, nuit des présidentielles américaines qui vit la victoire de Barack Obama ou mort de Michael Jackson pour prendre trois cas récents), et même ne pas être spectateur passif. On peut chercher des sources, suivre des tendances, chercher de l&#8217;information alternative, dénicher des incohérences ou des maladresses. On peut même ne pas être passif du tout et commenter en temps réel, voire apporter un éclairage si l&#8217;on est connaisseur, témoin ou expert.</p>
<p>Les effets néfastes sur la vie sociale sont là également. Trop d&#8217;attention à donner peut nuire à la capacité de <a href="http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/actualites/sciences/20090826.OBS8953/face_a_trop_de_medias_le_cerveau_perdil_les_pedales.html">concentration </a>et génèrerait une volatilité des pensées. Que dire de ceux qui restent <strong>connectés en permanence</strong> par peur de manquer quelque chose d&#8217;important dans le flux de l&#8217;information. Grâce aux appareils mobiles, ils sont connectés et lecteurs ou même actifs à table, avec leurs amis, en famille, voire aux toilettes ou à la messe. Certains en oublient les tâches quotidiennes, d&#8217;autres se mettent à tout analyser sous l&#8217;angle des médias sociaux (avant : &#8220;I&#8217;m blogging this&#8221;, aujourd&#8217;hui &#8220;ça se twitte&#8221;) avec le besoin compulsif de garder une trace numérique de tout, de tout partager.</p>
<p>Le <strong>manque </strong>existe aussi : les hyperconnectés sont mal quand ils n&#8217;ont plus d&#8217;accès à internet, quand la technique ne suit pas, quand ils ne peuvent satisfaire leur boulimie numérique. La <a href="http://www.lemonde.fr/actualite-medias/article/2009/08/27/etre-ou-ne-pas-etre-cyberdependante_1230653_3236.html">cyberdépendance </a>est d&#8217;ailleurs considérée comme une pathologie, même s&#8217;il semble que pour l&#8217;instant on ne traite que les joueurs en ligne et les clavardeurs (chatteurs, mais dit par nos camarades de la Belle Province) compulsifs.</p>
<p>Et bien entendu, certains tentent une cure, ou ont besoin d&#8217;un <strong>sevrage </strong>plus progressif en maintenant des doses minimes ou en cherchant des substituts.</p>
<p>Pour autant, le réel plaisir, la satisfaction personnelle (ego, sentiment de partager et de se rendre utile, reconnaissance sociale) vient plutôt après. Il y a comme un effet d&#8217;emmagasinage, de stockage, pour libérer le tout plus tard, comme un effet retard.</p>
<p>Etre dans la posture de celui qui sait est surtout valorisant dans la vie déconnectée, dans les relations sociales avec ses amis, ses collègues, ses connaissances. L&#8217;information est une <strong><a href="http://enikao.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/linformation-comme-monnaie-sociale/">monnaie sociale</a></strong>. C&#8217;est pourquoi son acquisition peut être grisante, comme l&#8217;est la constitution de richesses bien matérielles ou monétaires. On montre ce dont on est capable.</p>
<p>Nous sommes là face à une toxicomanie étrange où l&#8217;acte n&#8217;est pas la jouissance en soi, et où son exploitation s&#8217;effectue en-dehors du cadre de son exercice même. Un peu comme si un alcoolique était d&#8217;un coup éméché lors d&#8217;un repas sobre alors qu&#8217;il a bu trois jours avant, ou comme si un sex-addict prenait son pied durant un repas dominical avec sa famille puritaine. Car jusqu&#8217;à présent, être <em>news junkie</em> est parfois considéré avec dédain ou ironie, mais pas (encore ?) avec dégoût ou horreur.</p>

At the beginning of the 21st centuary, Britain was engaged in its Fourth Afghan Crusade. No other country has attacked Afghanistan as many times as Britain. In addition Britain has been instrumental in supporting despots and dictorships in the Muslim World and has contributed to the deaths of half a million Iraqi children. During the age of direct Imperialism, the British Empire enslaved millions of Muslims from Africa, colonised vast swathes of Muslim territory, displaced the Mughal Empire in South Asia; and conspired in the dismemberment of the Ottoman Caliphate to create illegitmate post-Caliphate statelets such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, etc. All of Britain’s mainstream parties support the Zionest state of Israel.<!--more--></p>

<description><![CDATA[El pasado 6 de agosto del corriente año, en el transcurso de la reunión mantenida con el presidente ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>El pasado 6 de agosto del corriente año, en el transcurso de la reunión mantenida con el presidente del Banco Central de la República Argentina, Dr. Martín Redrado (ver Circular               109/2009         109/2009), el presidente de la Confederación Argentina de la Mediana Empresa, Osvaldo Cornide, le solicito al BCRA “la incorporación de las chequeras denunciadas, sea por robo o extravío, en la base de cheques rechazados de esa institución bancaria”.<!--more-->El pasado viernes 14 de agosto se conoció la Comunicación A-4971 que introdujo modificaciones en la reglamentación de la Cuenta Corriente Bancaria que, básicamente, son las siguientes:</p>
<p>a) Se reglamenta el “endoso en procuración” establecido en la ley de Cheques. De esta manera, cuando el cheque a ser depositado sea, por ejemplo, por gestión de cobro, deberá identificarse dicha situación en el reverso del cheque, así como deberá quedar asentado en la cuenta depositada. Esto facilitará el conocimiento, por parte de la entidad financiera, de la actividad que realiza su cliente reforzando la política de “conozca a su cliente”.</p>
<p>b) Se incorpora la “Central de cheques denunciados como extraviados, sustraídos o adulterados”. De esta manera, el receptor de un cheque podrá verificar (ya sea ingresando al sitio web del BCRA o bien a través de un credit buró) si existe alguna denuncia respecto del instrumento que está por recibir. Ello complementa la información hoy ya disponible en la central de cheques rechazados y de cuentacorrentistas inhabilitados.</p>
<p>c) Se restituye la exigencia de que figure, en el comprobante de depósito de cheques, la leyenda donde conste el plazo de acreditación de los mismos. Si bien hoy dicho plazo está uniformado para todas las localidades del país (48 horas de acreditación de los fondos desde la fecha de su depósito), la transparencia en dicha información ayuda al cliente a una mejor planificación financiera (de hecho, la mayoría de los bancos hoy lo informa, pese a que no está requerido normativamente).</p>
<p>d) Se incluye en el cuerpo del cheque la antigüedad de la cuenta corriente. Esto permite al receptor del cheque mejorar su evaluación de la calidad crediticia del titular de la cuenta girada.</p>
<p>Los aspectos operativos que las entidades financieras deben readecuar a partir de estas modificaciones entrarán en vigencia a partir del 1/11/09.</p>
<p>Tal como puede observarse, el punto “b” constituye la puesta en vigencia de lo solicitado por la CAME.</p>

<div style="display:none;">Top 10 Most Expensive Accidents in History Throughout history, humans have always been prone to accidents. Some, such as the exotic car crashes seen on this page, can be very expensive. But that&#8217;s trivial compared to the truly expensive accidents. An accident is defined as &#8220;an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss&#8221;. Our aim is to list the top 10 most expensive accidents in the history of the world as measured in dollars. This includes property damage and expenses incurred related to the accident such as cleanup and industry losses. Many of these accidents involve casualties which obviously cannot be measured in dollar terms. Each life lost is priceless and is not factored into the equation. Deliberate actions such as war or terrorism and natural disasters do not qualify as accidents and therefore are not included in this list.  # 10. Titanic &#8211; $150 Million  The sinking of the Titanic is possibly the most famous accident in the world. But it barely makes our list of top 10 most expensive. On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage and was considered to be the most luxurious ocean liner ever built. Over 1,500 people lost their lives when the ship ran into an iceberg and sunk in frigid waters. The ship cost $7 million to build ($150 million in today&#8217;s dollars).<br />

# 9. Tanker Truck vs Bridge &#8211; $358 Million<br />
On August 26, 2004, a car collided with a tanker truck containing 32,000 liters of fuel on the Wiehltal Bridge in Germany . The tanker crashed through the guardrail and fell 90 feet off the A4 Autobahn resulting in a huge explosion and fire which destroyed the load-bearing ability of the bridge. Temporary repairs cost $40 million and the cost to replace the bridge is estimated at $318 Million.<br />
# 8. MetroLink Crash &#8211; $500 Million<br />
On September 12, 2008, in what was one of the worst train crashes in California history, 25 people were killed when a Metrolink commuter train crashed head-on into a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles . It is thought that the Metrolink train may have run through a red signal while the conductor was busy text messaging. Wrongful death lawsuits are expected to cause $500 million in losses for Metrolink.<br />
# 7. B-2 Bomber Crash &#8211; $1.4 Billion<br />
Here we have our first billion dollar accident (and we&#8217;re only #7 on the list). This B-2 stealth bomber crashed shortly after taking off from an air base in Guam on February 23, 2008. Investigators blamed distorted data in the flight control computers caused by moisture in the system. This resulted in the aircraft making a sudden nose-up move which made the B-2 stall and crash. This was 1 of only 21 ever built and was the most expensive aviation accident in history. Both pilots were able to eject to safety.<br />
# 6. Exxon Valdez &#8211; $2.5 Billion<br />
The Exxon Valdez oil spill was not a large one in relation to the world&#8217;s biggest oil spills, but it was a costly one due to the remote location of Prince William Sound (accessible only by helicopter and boat). On March 24, 1989, 10.8 million gallons of oil was spilled when the ship&#8217;s master, Joseph Hazelwood, left the controls and the ship crashed into a Reef. The cleanup cost<br />
Exxon $2.5 billion.<br />
# 5. Piper Alpha Oil Rig &#8211; $3.4 Billion<br />
The world&#8217;s worst off-shore oil disaster. At one time, it was the world&#8217;s single largest oil producer, spewing out 317,000 barrels of oil per day. On July 6, 1988, as part of routine maintenance, technicians removed and checked safety valves which were essential in preventing dangerous build-up of liquid gas. There were 100 identical safety valves which were checked. Unfortunately, the technicians made a mistake and forgot to replace one of them. At 10 PM that same night, a technician pressed a start button for the liquid gas pumps and the world&#8217;s most expensive oil rig accident was set in motion.<br />
Within 2 hours, the 300 foot platform was engulfed in flames. It eventually collapsed, killing 167 workers and resulting in $3.4 Billion in damages.<br />
# 4. Challenger Explosion &#8211; $5.5 Billion<br />
The Space Shuttle Challenger was destroyed 73 seconds after takeoff due on January 28, 1986 due to a faulty O-ring. It failed to seal one of the joints, allowing pressurized gas to reach the outside. This in turn caused the external tank to dump its payload of liquid hydrogen causing a massive explosion. The cost of replacing the Space Shuttle was $2 billion in 1986 ($4.5 billion in today&#8217;s dollars). The cost of investigation, problem correction, and replacement of lost equipment cost $450 million from 1986-1987 ($1 Billion in today&#8217;s dollars).<br />
# 3. Prestige Oil Spill &#8211; $12 Billion<br />
On November 13, 2002, the Prestige oil tanker was carrying 77,000 tons of heavy fuel oil when one of its twelve tanks burst during a storm off Galicia , Spain .. Fearing that the ship would sink, the captain called for help from Spanish rescue workers, expecting them to take the ship into harbour. However, pressure from local authorities forced the captain to steer the ship away from the coast. The captain tried to get help from the French and Portuguese authorities, but they too ordered the ship away from their shores. The storm eventually took its toll on the ship resulting in the tanker splitting in half and releasing 20 million gallons oil into the sea.<br />
According to a report by the Pontevedra Economist Board, the total cleanup cost $12 billion.<br />
# 2. Space Shuttle Columbia &#8211; $13 Billion<br />
The Space Shuttle Columbia was the first space worthy shuttle in NASA&#8217;s orbital fleet. It was destroyed during re-entry over Texas on February 1, 2003 after a hole was punctured in one of the wings during launch 16 days earlier. The original cost of the shuttle was $2 Billion in 1978. That comes out to $6.3 Billion in today&#8217;s dollars. $500 million was spent on the investigation, making it the costliest aircraft accident investigation in history. The search and recovery of debris cost $300 million.<br />
In the end, the total cost of the accident (not including replacement of the shuttle) came out to $13 Billion according to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.<br />
# 1. Chernobyl &#8211; $200 Billion<br />
On April 26, 1986, the world witnessed the costliest accident in history. The Chernobyl disaster has been called the biggest socio-economic catastrophe in peacetime history. 50% of the area of Ukraine is in some way contaminated. Over 200,000 people had to be evacuated and resettled while 1.7 million people were directly affected by the disaster. The death toll attributed to Chernobyl , including people who died from cancer years later, is estimated at 125,000. The total costs including cleanup, resettlement, and compensation to victims has been estimated to be roughly $200 Billion. The cost of a new steel shelter for the Chernobyl nuclear plant will cost $2 billion alone. The accident was officially attributed to power plant operators who violated plant procedures and were ignorant of the safety requirements needed.</p>
