U.S. housing market recovery key to boosting growth: IMF - via Yahoo! News - Top Stories on 8/2/12

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Thursday it believes a recovery in the U.S. housing market is key to eventually boosting economic growth in the United States and bringing down the country's unemployment rate. The IMF's annual assessment of the U.S. economy released on Thursday forecast U.S. growth strengthening from current low levels of around 2.0 percent to about 3.4 percent by 2016 and 3.3 percent in 2017. "We know that over the next few years the formation of U.S. households and depreciation of the housing stock will imply there will be a need for about 1. ...

www.euronews.com Germany's Volkswagen and Porsche have completed their long-awaited tie-up. That came one day after Porsche posted a six-month profit of 1.15 billion euros, compared to a 149 million euro profit a year earlier. Once integration is completed, the two expect to gain over 700 million euros in savings in development, purchasing and production and erase Porsche's 2.5 billion euros of debt. Volkswagen's purchase of the second half of Porsche adds the super luxury - and super profitable - sports cars such as the iconic 911 model to its line-up. VW is already Europe's biggest carmaker. It is aiming to be the world number one by 2018. Both companies already cooperate in many areas. VW, which also includes luxury division Audi, makes the bodies for the Cayenne SUV and Panamera coupe, Porsche's two best-selling vehicles. They will jointly develop Porsche's next model, the Macan compact SUV, due to hit showrooms in 2014. *Long road to merger* The two manufacturers had first agreed a full merger in August 2009, after Porsche racked up more than 10 billion euros of debt in a failed attempt to take over VW, sparking feuds among the Porsche and Piech family dynasties. VW bought 49.9 percent of Porsche's sports car operations in December 2009 for 3.9 billion euros and had sought to acquire the remainder through a share-swap with the holding company. The car makers dropped the merger plan last year because of US and German investor lawsuits accusing Porsche of covertly <b>...</b>

U.S. officials say the Obama administration is giving $12 million in new humanitarian aid for beleaguered Syrian civilians as a civil war rages between rebels and the Assad regime in Aleppo and elsewhere.

AL-MARJ, Lebanon (Reuters) - Messages broadcast from mosque loudspeakers warned residents of Damascus neighborhoods to leave their homes and helicopter gunships spitting bullets made sure they heeded the call. Now home for 18 families from the Syrian capital is a school building in Lebanon's Bekaa Vally. But they claim they have been left to their fate by Lebanese authorities and international aid agencies. And when school restarts after the summer vacation, they have no idea where they will go. ...

LONDON (Reuters) - The Syrian army's brisk recapture of parts of Damascus is unlikely to be repeated in Aleppo, where open rebel supply lines, hard-to-assail narrow streets and an apparent lack of elite manpower will limit its commanders' options. The struggle in parts of Aleppo held by insurgents is likely to be more protracted than last month's battles in the capital, inflicting further bloodshed and damage on Syria's largest city and driving more of the population out, analysts say. ...

Fault Lines - Puerto Rico: The fiscal experiment


Fault Lines - Puerto Rico: The fiscal experiment Dozens of university students are arrested for demonstrating against a tuition hike. But Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno remains steadfast in charging students more to help close a $3.2 billion budget gap. The students' fight is representative of a larger debate in Puerto...
Rico, and in the US, about how to solve a severe budget crisis -- and at what cost. Gov. Fortuno, a hawkish fiscal conservative, laid off 20000 government workers in 2009, and suspended all labor negotiations, just like governors on the US mainland are doing today. But two years later Puerto Rico's labor unions are still scrambling to reorganize a largely unemployed population -- nearly 17 percent. Puerto Rico is in its fifth year of recession, and expected to be the world's slowest growing economy if its situation doesn't improve. At question is the degree of economic and social responsibility the US has to its commonwealth state. Fault Lines travels to Puerto Rico to investigate America's legacy as the Island's ruler, and the harsh economic policies that are being imposed on the people who live there.

Steeped in the stories of fighters like the great Felix Trinidad and two-weight world champion Daniel Santo...
s, the last Puerto Rican boxer to win an Olympic medal in 1996, the nation's young team is targeting further glory. Ortiz Marcano, who celebrated his 18th birthday last week, is one of four teenagers in the five-man Puerto Rican squad. The team's fifth member, Middle Weight Enrique Collazo, has already been knocked out of the tournament. He certainly relished his Olympic debut, arriving in the ring with a huge smile on his face and proceeding to showcase a series of flashy moves as he took apart his opponent, establishing an 8-1 lead within three minutes. Ortiz Marcano said: 'I was smiling going into the ring and coming out of the ring because that is how I feel and I don't want to change anything. I told my corner they had to keep smiling too. I fought well and I have a lot more to come.' Spain's world number seven Jose de la Nieve Linares was surprised 14-11 by Carlos Quipo Pilataxi of Ecuador. The veteran Spaniard paid the price for a sluggish first round and struggled to match his opponent's workrate. Earlier in the Light Fly Weight division, Cuba's Yosbany Veitia Soto scored the biggest win in the competition so far as he overcame Australia's Billy Ward 26-4.

Tommy Ramos and the Olympic Games

Posted on August 1, 2012 by
Puerto Rico is proud of Tommy Ramos, a Bayamon-born gymnast who has qualified for the Olympic men’s gymnastics rings final to be held on August 6th in London.
As a native-born Puerto Rican, Tommy Ramos is a U.S. citizen. He could have participated in the Olympics as a member of the U.S. team. Had he done so, he would have been the top finisher in the rings qualification trial for the United States, just as he was for the Puerto Rico.
There are many reasons why Ramos may have chosen to compete on behalf of Puerto Rico instead of the broader U.S. The support back home is certainly passionate. Not every Olympic athlete has the option of playing on two teams; certainly Ramos’s choice was one that most residents of the fifty states simply don’t have.
But does Ramos’s choice also have negative consequences? More broadly, are there drawbacks for Puerto Rico, as a territory, being treated differently than the fifty states? After all, the federal U.S. government has never stopped Puerto Rico or its other territories from competing in the Olympics or even in a beauty pageant – historic sources of pride for the idyllic Island.
Yet Puerto Rico could be ordered to end its Olympic participation by the U.S. federal government because it is a territory. Congress has this power under the U.S. Constitution’s Territory Clause, and Secretary of State Colin Powell used it in 2003, when members of Puerto Rico’s ruling Commonwealth Party (also known as the Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico or PDP) contacted numerous Caribbean countries in an attempt to conduct international diplomacy. In a memorandum to the Belize Embassy, Secretary Powell forcefully explained:
The Department is aware that Puerto Rican government officials have approached a number of countries . . . seeking treatment normally only accorded to a sovereign state. The two most recent examples were in Nicaragua and Panama where the Puerto Ricans pressed government officials to sign cooperation agreements which contained language normally reserved for pacts with foreign states. In November 2002, Puerto Rico attempted unsuccessfully to elicit recognition as a sovereign state at the Ibero-American summit in the Dominican Republic. The department reiterates that the U.S. federal government is responsible for Rico’s foreign affairs.

Fortunately for Puerto Rican Olympic enthusiasts, Congress is unlikely to end the territory’s Olympic participation any time soon. So why can’t Puerto Rico have its own special Olympic team and celebrate its uniqueness from the rest of the United States? What would be the harm?
The problem is that Puerto Rico’s Olympic team comes as a package deal with other aspects of its status as a territory. For every Olympic athlete, there is a Puerto Rican living stateside who moves to Puerto Rico only to discover she can no longer vote for President, even if she has children serving in the U.S. armed forces. Puerto Rican veterans not only lack the power to vote for President, but they also are deprived access to the same level of health care given to their fellow soldiers in the fifty states. And, of course, Puerto Rico is does not have full representation in Washington. The territory is inadvertently left out of legislation and purposefully excluded from federal laws that directly impact Puerto Rico, in areas including health care. There are national policies that could help Puerto Rico’s economy and security that the territory simply cannot access. It’s sole, non-voting Resident Commissioner cannot do the work of the six Members of Congress and two Senators Puerto Rico would have as a state.
Penn State is also proud of Tommy Ramos, who is an alumnus of the school. A six-time All-American, Ramos is credited with helping Penn State achieve its NCAA-record setting 12th national championship in 2007 and Big Ten title in 2008.
The word “Commonwealth” has very little meaning but has caused a great deal of confusion. The state where Ramos went to college – Pennsylvania – is often called a Commonwealth. But its legal status is that of a state. Puerto Rico is also referred to as a Commonwealth, but its legal status is that of a territory.
As a Pennsylvanian, Ramos could not participate in a Pennsylvania-only Olympic team. As a Puerto Rican, he can participate in Puerto Rico-only team. But he is not a full participant in his country’s proud democratic tradition, which is on display for the world to see.

CASO QUE NO PUEDE CAER EN UN LIMBO
CASO QUE NO PUEDE CAER EN UN LIMBO El caso del asesinato a tiros de Carmen Paredes en su hogar de Guaynabo impone a la Policía y al Departamento de Justicia el deber de llevar a cabo una pesquisa eficiente, seria, que logre el procesamiento del responsable o de los responsables, librando a la investigación de un limbo como la del niño Lorenzo González Cacho.

Nue‘Déjà vu’ con el inicio escolar Tal vez nos pudieran ahorrar los titulares de las noticias y los reportes que cada inicio escolar inundan nuestro país y simplemente resolver los problemas, que año tras año, nos aquejan a los padres, estudiantes, maestros, asistentes, porteadores y demás. Cada semestre siento un ‘déjà vu’, siempre es lo mismo. Por eso no me extrañó para nada ver en las noticias ayer sobre un tranque en las negociaciones entre los porteadores y el Departamento de Educación; que de no resolverse pueden dejar a nuestros hijos sin transporte, justo en el inicio de clases. En lugar de estar apareciendo en La Comay repitiendo estadísticas de cómo ha bajado la criminalidad, ¿por qué el gobernador Luis Fortuño no se da a la tarea de resolver los problemas del sistema educativo? Estoy segura que en este inicio escolar habrá un sinnúmero de problemas, asistentes sin asignar, escuelas sin maestros y si sigue la debacle, falta de transportación. Ya no queremos más ‘déjà vu’ con el inicio de clases. Ya no queremos promesas y estadísticas falsas. Queremos que las personas que dan lo máximo por nuestros hijos, reciban lo justo y que nuestros hijos tengan sus necesidades básicas cubiertas. De nada nos sirven sus salones “Da Vinci” si nuestros hijos no tienen cómo llegar a la escuela. Señor gobernador, menos plática y más plata. Enix RamosBayamón Se repite la historia El abierto desafío sicológico del atleta británico David ‘Dai’ Greene, a nuestro estelar medallista Javier Culson, nos hace recordar los eventos del 1797, año en que la poderosa armada británica, sin igual en su époc,a invadió nuestra isla pretendiendo conquistarla. Los puertorriqueños como un solo hombre repelieron la insidiosa agresividad de los invasores británicos, logrando derrotarlos, y como consecuencia, huyeron como gallinas aspaventadas de nuestras costas. En tan vergonzosa huida dejaron sus compañeros muertos, sus heridos y hasta los cañones que trajeron. Luego de 215 años se repite la historia en otro escenario, la contienda olímpica en la ciudad de Londres. Debemos estar tranquilos ante tal desafío. Estamos bien representados con el nuestro. La victoria es nuestra y siempre será nuestra cuando como pueblo juntos apoyamos a los nuestros. Nicasio Mojica RiveraSan Juan Medidas aplastantes De acuerdo al gobernador Luis Fortuño, el Código Penal de 2012 pretende aminorar la violencia en el país. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con esto (aunque dudo que funcione), mas no logro entender una cosa: ¿por qué incluir medidas tan represivas en torno a delitos de expresión pública? Los ciudadanos tenemos el derecho de expresarnos libremente si algo nos incomoda. Somos nosotros los que verdaderamente nos enfrentamos a las medidas que toma el gobierno y a la dureza de la calle, no el propio gobernador y sus secuaces; por lo tanto, es inadmisible que nos pillen de tal manera. Ya imagino que la próxima disposición será que no podramos expresarnos en los diarios. Mónica Báez Ávila El plural de yogur es yogures. Proyecto de la Reserva Marina de Isla Verde El arrecife de Isla Verde, ubicado en la punta del medio que divide las dos playas de Isla Verde, en Carolina, es un lugar que debe protegerse ya que cuenta con cuatro especies en peligro de extinción y una diversidad de peces, invertebrados y corales. Es por esto que desde el 2006 comenzamos una iniciativa comunitaria con el fin de proteger este lugar. El Proyecto de la Cámara 3721 fue aprobado y firmado por los presidentes de la Cámara y del Senado. En estos momentos estamos esperando por la firma del gobernador Luis Fortuño para que se haga realidad la primera reserva marina de arrecifes de coral. Hemos recogido 3,600 firmas de endosos y contamos con el aval de la Junta Interagencial de Playas, del Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales, de la Corporación de Turismo y del Programa del Estuario de la Bahía de San Juan.

CASO QUE NO PUEDE CAER EN UN LIMBO

El caso del asesinato a tiros de Carmen Paredes en su hogar de Guaynabo impone a la Policía y al Departamento de Justicia el deber de llevar a cabo una pesquisa eficiente, seria, que logre el procesamiento del responsable o de los responsables, librando a la investigación de un limbo como la del niño Lorenzo González Cacho.

EL DEBATE DE LOS CANDIDATOS A COMISIONADO RESIDENTE EN WASHINGTON

“¿Qué modificaciones y nuevos enfoques se propone promover en Washington para insertar de una forma más beneficiosa a Puerto Rico en el comercio de una economía globalizada?”

UN ENFOQUE RENOVADO

RAFAEL COX ALOMARLos tiempos económicos han cambiado dramáticamente en los últimos años en el mundo entero y Puerto Rico tiene que volver a ser un ejemplo de creatividad, esfuerzo y resultados. Nue
Tal vez nos pudieran ahorrar los titulares de las noticias y los reportes que cada inicio escolar inundan nuestro país y simplemente resolver los problemas, que año tras año, nos aquejan a los padres, estudiantes, maestros, asistentes, porteadores y demás.
Cada semestre siento un ‘déjà vu’, siempre es lo mismo. Por eso no me extrañó para nada ver en las noticias ayer sobre un tranque en las negociaciones entre los porteadores y el Departamento de Educación; que de no resolverse pueden dejar a nuestros hijos sin transporte, justo en el inicio de clases.
En lugar de estar apareciendo en La Comay repitiendo estadísticas de cómo ha bajado la criminalidad, ¿por qué el gobernador Luis Fortuño no se da a la tarea de resolver los problemas del sistema educativo? Estoy segura que en este inicio escolar habrá un sinnúmero de problemas, asistentes sin asignar, escuelas sin maestros y si sigue la debacle, falta de transportación.
Ya no queremos más ‘déjà vu’ con el inicio de clases. Ya no queremos promesas y estadísticas falsas. Queremos que las personas que dan lo máximo por nuestros hijos, reciban lo justo y que nuestros hijos tengan sus necesidades básicas cubiertas.
De nada nos sirven sus salones “Da Vinci” si nuestros hijos no tienen cómo llegar a la escuela.
Señor gobernador, menos plática y más plata.

El abierto desafío sicológico del atleta británico David ‘Dai’ Greene, a nuestro estelar medallista Javier Culson, nos hace recordar los eventos del 1797, año en que la poderosa armada británica, sin igual en su époc,a invadió nuestra isla pretendiendo conquistarla.
Los puertorriqueños como un solo hombre repelieron la insidiosa agresividad de los invasores británicos, logrando derrotarlos, y como consecuencia, huyeron como gallinas aspaventadas de nuestras costas. En tan vergonzosa huida dejaron sus compañeros muertos, sus heridos y hasta los cañones que trajeron.
Luego de 215 años se repite la historia en otro escenario, la contienda olímpica en la ciudad de Londres.
Debemos estar tranquilos ante tal desafío. Estamos bien representados con el nuestro.
La victoria es nuestra y siempre será nuestra cuando como pueblo juntos apoyamos a los nuestros.
Nicasio Mojica Rivera

De acuerdo al gobernador Luis Fortuño, el Código Penal de 2012 pretende aminorar la violencia en el país. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con esto (aunque dudo que funcione), mas no logro entender una cosa: ¿por qué incluir medidas tan represivas en torno a delitos de expresión pública?
Los ciudadanos tenemos el derecho de expresarnos libremente si algo nos incomoda. Somos nosotros los que verdaderamente nos enfrentamos a las medidas que toma el gobierno y a la dureza de la calle, no el propio gobernador y sus secuaces; por lo tanto, es inadmisible que nos pillen de tal manera.
Ya imagino que la próxima disposición será que no podramos expresarnos en los diarios.

El arrecife de Isla Verde, ubicado en la punta del medio que divide las dos playas de Isla Verde, en Carolina, es un lugar que debe protegerse ya que cuenta con cuatro especies en peligro de extinción y una diversidad de peces, invertebrados y corales. Es por esto que desde el 2006 comenzamos una iniciativa comunitaria con el fin de proteger este lugar.
El Proyecto de la Cámara 3721 fue aprobado y firmado por los presidentes de la Cámara y del Senado. En estos momentos estamos esperando por la firma del gobernador Luis Fortuño para que se haga realidad la primera reserva marina de arrecifes de coral.
Hemos recogido 3,600 firmas de endosos y contamos con el aval de la Junta Interagencial de Playas, del Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales, de la Corporación de Turismo y del Programa del Estuario de la Bahía de San Juan.
Señor Gobernador, nos dirigimos respetuosamente para solicitarle que firme el P. de la C. 3721 para que la Reserva Marina Arrecife de Isla Verde sea una realidad para el bien de todos.

We love this picture of cyclist Bradley Wiggins, taken by the FT's Charlie Bibby. Read our take on Wiggins' gold-medal victory:

"The prison-like Great Gate of Hampton Court Palace swung open and out stepped Bradley Wiggins. Perhaps this is how it was at Tudor executions. But Wiggins was heading for the podium, not the scaffold. And, far from a beheading, it was a kind of consecration.
Only 10 days after becoming the first British rider to win the gruelling Tour de France, he crushed the opposition in the individual time trial to win by 42 seconds."

New questions arise about House Democratic caucus’s loyalty to Obama Friday June 12 th , 2015  at  10:24 PM 1 Share President Obama, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at his side, leaves a meeting where he made a last-ditch appeal to House Democrats for his trade agenda on Friday in Washington. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) Cheers rang out Thursday evening when President Obama made a surprise visit to the annual congressional baseball game at National Park. Thousands of Democratic staffers began to chant: “O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!” More unexpectedly, Republican lawmakers and staffers, who have been locked in battle with the president for more than six years, began a cheer of their own: “TPA, TPA!” they chanted, voicing approval for Obama’s trade promotion agenda. Obama flashed the GOP side a thumbs-up. Inside the Democratic dugout, according to several senior aides and lawmakers, the president’s usual allies were appalled by the scene: He was w
