Ο Τσιπρας πάει για αρχηγός της Ευρώπης..
Καταγγελία επίθεσης σε βάρος δημοσιογράφου
Τετάρτη, 23 Μάιος 2012 14:35
Το Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο της Ένωσης Συντακτών Ημερησίων Εφημερίδων Θεσσαλίας, στ. Ελλάδας και Εύβοιας καταδικάζει την επίθεση που δέχθηκε ο Πρόεδρος της Ένωσης Συντακτών Ημερησίων Εφημερίδων Πελοποννήσου – Ηπείρου – Νήσων Απόστολος Βουλδής από ομάδα τριάντα ροπαλοφόρων έξω από τις εγκαταστάσεις τηλεοπτικού σταθμού.
Το περιστατικό συνέβη όταν ο Πρόεδρος της ΕΣΗΕΠΗΝ παρενέβη με σκοπό ν’ αποτρέψει τον ξυλοδαρμό του βουλευτή Αχαΐας της Χρυσής Αυγής ο οποίος νωρίτερα είχε εμφανιστεί στο κεντρικό δελτίο ειδήσεων του σταθμού.
Η τραμπούκικη επίθεση σε βάρος του Απόστολου Βουλδή και η «ενέδρα», με ρόπαλα, κράνη και λοστούς, έξω απ’ τις εγκαταστάσεις ενός μέσου ενημέρωσης συνιστούν ευθεία βολή κατά του αγαθού της ελευθεροτυπίας και της ελεύθερης διακίνησης των ιδεών και των απόψεων.
Η βία απ’ όπου κι αν προέρχεται είναι καταδικαστέα και αλίμονο ας επικρατήσει ως συστατικό μέρος της πολιτικής και ιδεολογικής αντιπαράθεσης.

ΚΟΥΡΣΟ ΜΕ ΛΟΓΙΑ και χωρίς ΣΚΙΤΣΟ
Τα είδατε; Οι "μπίλιες υδραργύρου" τα κομμάτια της επάρατης, σέρνονται στα πόδια του Σαμαρά για μιά θέση στον επόμενο κοινοβουλευτικό χάρτη ! Ανέκαθεν η Ν.Δ. παρείχε στέγη και "άσυλο" στην ακροδεξιά. Θα μου πείτε: Εδώ τους βόλεψε το ΠΑΣΟΚ και η Μαμά δεξιά...; Ο Σαμαράς, αυτή η...ξαφνική μετριότητα, παίζει το τελευταίο του χαρτί. Απέναντί του ορθώνεται μιά αναπάντεχη αριστερή εκδοχή που όσο περνούν οι μέρες και όσο περισσότερο υβρίζεται από το σύστημα, πολιτικό και μιντιακό, άλλο τόσο γιγαντώνεται σε βαθμό, που για πρώτη φορά στη ζωή μου θα "βάλω νερό στο κρασί μου" και θα ψηφίσω Τσίπρα με τα δυό μου χέρια ! Απέναντί μας πλέον δεν έχουμε το "θολό" Πασόκ μα, τη μισαλλόδοξη Δεξιά που ανασυντάσεται. Ξεδιπλώνεται σαν φίδι στην ανοιξιάτικη λιακάδα. Βγάζει τα γλωσσίδια και ετοιμάζεται να ξαναδαγκώσει την Πατρίδα. Κάτι που ξέρει να κάνει πολύ καλά. Το έκανε αρκετές φορές στην πρόσφατη ιστορία. Επιχειρεί να το κάνει και τώρα ! Ήρθε η ώρα να ξαναλογαριαστούμε. Και η αρχή γίνεται τη 17η Ιούνη η νύχτα της οποίας, θα κρίνει πολλά.Στο "μαρμαρένιο αλώνι" αυτών των εκλογών θα αναμετρηθούν πολλά "ζευγάρια" εννιών μεταξύ των οποίων: Η πολιτική ανηθικότητα με την ηθική της πολιτικής. Ο σοσιαλισμός με τη βαρβαρότητα. Το τραπεζικό σύστημα με τον Άνθρωπο. Η Ευρώπη των τραπεζών με την Ευρώπη της αλληλεγγύης...τουτέστιν: Ή εμείς ή αυτοί !

Victoria Hislop: the tragedy of my beloved Greece
My passion for Greece began the day I first went on holiday there 30 years ago, and has intensified ever since. I have been at the “party” that Greece once was. Now I am sharing the hangover. And it is desperately painful and sad.
Ι travel to Greece most months, to give talks on my novels, to work on adapting The Island into a 26-part miniseries for local television, and to research writing projects.
I have learnt the language well enough to appear on live television, and over the past five years have become so much part of this country that on arrival I do not always have to show my passport. I also have a house in Crete, which means I pay taxes. I can’t vote — which, in some ways, I am glad about, as I would be torn between a series of equally nightmarish scenarios.
The problems have been brewing for years, but what feels like potential meltdown arrived in Athens very suddenly. Last week, I went to a favourite restaurant in the city centre. It used to be heaving with customers until 2am.
At 10pm on Thursday, the place was almost empty. Restaurants where you once had to book tables a week ahead are now struggling to survive. The bouzoukia, live venues that are a quintessential part of Greek life and where musicians used to play four nights a week, are now mostly open for one. I never thought the Greeks would stop going out. Staying in isn’t in their DNA.
The bars are still full, as these are where people go to argue about politics and the future of the country. There does not seem to be any other conversation worth having. One friend, a leading Athenian journalist, told me how at least half of her friends are without jobs and money, and how anger is growing. Many people, in Athens at least, are at breaking point. “We don’t care any more,” she told me.

Suddenly, I can feel how dangerous the mood has become. My friend Maria, who voted for Pasok, Greece’s main party on the centre-Left, in the recent election will shift allegiance to the communists; she has been driven to this after her salary dropped from €2,500 a month to €1,000. She is weary and disillusioned.
A 40-year-old fashion writer for a glossy magazine, Maria has seen the quality of her life disintegrate. She feels broken and angry. “For the next issue, we’re focusing on punk — because that’s where the country is at. Anarchy could happen.” At least the riots have stopped, for now. As the country waits for new elections, Athens is strangely quiet. When I was last in town three months ago, I joined a peaceful march to get a feeling for the popular mood.
Up close, it was scary. The Greek police are quick to fire tear gas, and I felt things could erupt at any minute. The quiet on the streets now is even more eerie.
The Greeks are a very proud people, and feel humiliated by what has happened to them. At least once a day, someone will bring up the national debt and, in the same breath, how much Germany still owes Greece in outstanding reparation for their occupation during the Second World War.
Many people have lost their jobs, but the statistics do not reveal the thousands who still have jobs but have not been paid for many months. They are stuck: they have no income, but if they leave, they have no hope of recouping what they are owed. It has left a huge proportion of the country with no money to spend. As a result, retail businesses are going down all around us.
I’ve watched men in suits fishing in bins. The worst thing is when they do not take anything out, because someone has beaten them to it. People I know report their children’s poorer schoolmates fainting in class from hunger.
There is now an urge to end the corruption that has helped to destroy this country. Friends with businesses tell me that bribery has long been an assumed part of business life. I have listened, open-mouthed, to stories of tax evasion, often in the form of brown envelopes full of cash given to government inspectors to reduce a bill; sometimes, the pressure to hand over these bribes is tantamount to blackmail.
On a very small scale, I have witnessed it in restaurants when the credit card machine is “broken”. “We can only take cash,” says the owner. Dozens of times, I have watched a €20 note slip into a pocket, knowing that the government will not see a cent of it in tax.
The past few months have seen new taxes being imposed as existing ones rise. People are exhausted and confused by it all, and if their businesses survive at all, it is down to their determination.
Greek children are all too aware of the crisis into which their country has plummeted. Apart from having parents who are constantly anxious and talking about the “krisi”, schools are running short of money. I have discussions over Skype with a school in northern Greece, and during the winter I noticed the pupils were wrapped up in coats and scarves. There was no money to heat the classrooms.
There was no budget for schoolbooks either. When I heard about the problem eight months ago, I asked my Greek publisher if we could start an initiative for authors to donate copies of their books. Even though I wanted to help, it has not been possible. There are layers of bureaucracy, but often very little organisation.
The mood in places far from Athens is not quite so bleak. I have been given so many gifts on my current trip (books, wine, pieces of embroidery, pens, olive oil and more) that they have had to be sent home by ship. Even when Greeks have very little, they give — and their generosity is humbling. In a city in the north, Alexandroupolis, I was given a vintage necklace, with old beads and coins. “Ah,” said the woman who had made it, touching a drachma coin. “I might need that back.”
Most Greeks are not making jokes about the currency. I have to keep a sum of money in my Greek bank account, which I was obliged to open when I bought the house. The hefty taxes that are randomly imposed on home owners these days are removed by direct debit, so the funds need to be there. It seems disloyal to remove them.
With eurozone banks on the brink, friends have asked me to help take their savings out of Greece. Three friends offered to fly to London with their life savings in suitcases — €40,000 in one instance — so that I might keep it in my account. I wanted to help, but then I considered the consequences if something happened to me: the money would be lost under my name, and they would be left with nothing.
Tourism could help to save Greece, but the Greeks need to nurture and treasure the assets that the gods gave them. This is a country with beautiful landscapes, blue sea, culture, history and wonderful food. But one of the problems now is that the mood is so glum that when tourists come, they will not see the best of the country.
In Athens, they will be driven from the airport by a taxi driver who spends the journey on his mobile phone (illegal), smokes (illegal), and breaks the speed limit (illegal). If they live to tell the tale, they will see boarded-up shops, graffiti-covered walls and people going through the bins. I hope that visitors can see past the dilapidation to the eternally ravishing aspects of Greece that are beyond politics and time. This could help the country to survive. I was touring Greece last week talking about my novel, The Thread, which describes the traumatic, often dark, events of 20th-century Greek history — occupation, civil war, earthquake. It is a tale about the Greeks’ ability to survive, and they need to brace themselves now, just as they have before.
Unusually for May, it poured with rain last week. From my balcony, I could see the crowd that had gathered in the ancient marble stadium for the handing over of the Olympic flame. After several hours, the clouds parted and an intense rainbow appeared.
Greece always delivers drama. It is always larger than life. I hope for the sake of
everyone in this extraordinary country that the rainbow was symbolic and that Greece will soon find its pot of gold.

Μετοχές και Γάμος στο Φαίης Μπούκ..Zuckerberg’s Property Status, Post-Marriage
Zuckerberg’s Property Status, Post-Marriage
By TARA SIEGEL BERNARD
Published: May 21, 2012
The new Mrs. Mark Zuckerberg might not have to worry much about money, but that doesn’t mean she is automatically a billionaire.
The timing of Mark Zuckerberg’s marriage to his college sweetheart, Priscilla Chan, on Saturday, just a day after he took his company public, was certainly curious. Was he looking to clarify his net worth, which, with roughly 503 million shares, now stands at about $17 billion? And if true, many observers are speculating, did that have to do with the terms of a prenuptial agreement? The Zuckerbergs are not saying.
But what is clear, according to matrimonial law experts, is that whatever Mr. Zuckerberg earned before the marriage is still solely his property afterward.
California is one of fewer than a dozen states that follow community property laws, which specifically outline how property is divided between two spouses (or, in some cases, registered domestic partners).
The rest of the states generally follow equitable division rules, where the court tries to divide assets fairly at divorce. Generally, the rule for community property states that anything that was one spouse’s property before marriage is considered separate. In California, this includes things like dividends from previously owned stock or rent that is collected from an income-producing property owned before the marriage. After marriage, anything either partner earns or acquires is considered community property.
“This means the day after the marriage, whatever anyone earns is co-owned by the marital estate,” said Jo Carrillo, a law professor at the University of California Hastings College of Law in San Francisco.
But the lines between community and separate property can get fuzzy pretty quickly after that, particularly over many years of marriage. Separate property, for instance, remains separate unless that money is commingled with “community,” or joint, money and the couple does not keep records of where the money came from or who paid what, Professor Carrillo said.
The question in Mr. Zuckerberg’s case is whether Ms. Chan would be entitled to the growth in value of his Facebook stock.
“The bigger gray area is the growth of value during the marriage,” said Chris Donnelly, head of the family law department at Leland, Parachini, Steinberg, Matzger & Melnick in San Francisco. “That is the 800-pound gorilla, or in Mark Zuckerberg’s case, the 800-ton gorilla.”
Under normal circumstances, his previously owned stock would remain his separate property. But the fact that Mr. Zuckerberg’s job is to continue to contribute to the growth of Facebook — and with it, presumably, the value of its stock — “the fruits of the efforts may accrue to the community,” Mr. Donnelly said, adding that it would be hard to imagine that a court would not allocate some portion of that growth to Ms. Chan. “She would be entitled to something,” Mr. Donnelly said. “It’s a huge gray zone, which is why in California you can create an agreement that spells out property very clearly.”
A prenuptial agreement could, for instance, outline a specific percentage of the growth that would be allocated to the “community” and what might remain separate.
It is unclear whether Mr. Zuckerberg gave any shares to his wife at any point. A Facebook spokesman, Larry Yu, declined to comment on whether Ms. Chan and Mr. Zuckerberg had a prenuptial agreement or whether she received any shares of Facebook stock in her own name before the couple married.
Naturally, Mr. Zuckerberg has plenty of assets to protect. But some experts said Ms. Chan — who graduated last week from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco — could stand to benefit as well. (The medical school has accepted her into its residency program in pediatrics.) In fact, given that Ms. Chan reportedly asked Mr. Zuckerberg to sign a relationship agreement before she moved to California several years ago to be with him — outlining issues like how much time they should spend together — it might not be that surprising if she brought up the subject first.
“If she had legal advisers, I would hope they would have encouraged her to also consider a prenup,” Professor Carrillo said. “It protects the non-owning spouse because in California, we have a set of formalities that require the prospective spouses to take some time to negotiate the document, typically with their respective attorneys. The non-owning spouse will get disclosure and know what the other spouse owns and owes, and can choose or not, based on the disclosures, to make decisions.”
Since couples are not required to make prenuptial agreements public, experts said, it is impossible to know if such an agreement even exists. Several matrimonial lawyers said they would be surprised if the Zuckerbergs did not have one. Still, no one raised concerns about how either spouse would fare.
“The nice thing, when you have that much money, is that they are both going to be fine,” said Randall M. Kessler, chairman of the American Bar Association’s family law section and a founding partner at Kessler & Solomiany in Atlanta. “Divorce lawyers don’t make our money on people who have that much money. They typically settle their cases.”
