FREEDOM TOWER RISING

Lette controversy in recent weeks too close to mosques and Korans barbecue, I decided that the only news on the anniversary of 9.11 is very important that the work has finally parties.
is not a trivial matter, given that for over five years everything has remained stalled for bureaucratic reasons and for economic reasons. Now the site (whose spectacular progress can be observed almost in real time on the appropriate Flickr page ) is finally working at full capacity. Chris Ward, executive director of Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the entity owns the land, which is building the main tower) just yesterday called it "a giant game of Shanghai" . A couple of months ago, so to speak, from the excavations it turned out that neintemeno the wreck of a ship of the eighteenth century (in Italy only for this reason superintendent would have blocked everything for years ...).

The National Memorial dedicated all'Undici September is taking shape and will open next year for the tenth anniversary of the tragedy.

a week ago and completed the planting of the first row of the 400 oak trees of the "Memorial Gardens".

Two days ago, have been hoisted the two "forks" steel , unmistakable fragments of what were the Twin Towers, whose "footprint" will be designed in the two "pools reflecting the world's largest" .

The construction of the main building has reached the 36th of the 102 schemes, which finally begin to crowd of prospective tenants.
will be "the tallest building in the hemisphere", breaking the record of the former Sears Tower in Chicago. Date expected completion of work: 2013.
Unfortunately be called only " Building No. 1 of the World Trade Center ," but the beauty is that they all still insist on calling it " Freedom Tower."
rightly.
DAY-AFTER UPDATE : Today the New York Times decided to observe exactly the same way.

TIME OUT (IMPRESSIONS OF SEPTEMBER)


"As Mr. Obama has become unpopular" : bright colors from the title for the piece with which Michael Scherer, White House correspondent for TIME, takes stock of progress more of this disastrous presidency, the latest issue of the magazine came out close to the Labour Day (which in an election year marks the end of summer and the start of the "hard" campaign). Some
excerpt:

When Obama took office in January 2009, the percentage of voters who expressed approval according to the Gallup survey was 68%, you could not see a consensus that high for a newly elected leader since the days of John Kennedy in 1961.
Today the percentage has fallen just over 40%, which means that at least one American in four has changed my mind about Obama.
The collapse is particularly dramatic among independent voters, whites and those under the age of 30 years.
Just nine weeks away from the mid-term elections, instead of the generational transformation that some Democrats had predicted after 2008, the party of the president is hovering on the brink of a serious collapse in November, and may even lose his parliamentary majority in both chambers.
voters who say they intend to vote for the Republicans than ten percent of those who say they are inclined to vote for the Democrats: This is the biggest gap ever measured by Gallup in this type of survey.

Last June the Brodniz Peter Benenson Strategy Group, an agency of polls that also works for the White House has asked the voters whether to boost the creation of new jobs preferred "other investments by the State "or" cutting taxes on businesses. " Even among those who voted for Obama, almost 38% preferred the tax cuts. When Brodniz proposed an alternative of spending cuts to reduce public debt and invest more in research, innovation and new technologies ", one third of the voters Obama has chosen the cuts. The result of the survey, commissioned by the think tank Third Way "( Third Way), was unequivocal about one third of those who voted for Obama in 2008 had serious doubts about the approach based on public spending.

The thesis of the article is that the detachment than the general public is due in large measure to the fact that deciding to make certain reforms in the yard until he was sure to have enough votes in Congress, Obama ended up being held hostage by Democratic leaders in the House and Senate, who ritenenuto to be in a situation like this "now or never," and led to give to those projects (one for all: the reform of the health system) a statist inclination so dear to liberal fringes of the party but dangerously unpopular with most voters. As to the question that is most dear to them, that is, unemployment, both Obama and the Democrat appeared little concerned.

One thing is certain: it is stunning to read an article like that just to TIME.

The 2008 seems light years away.

And even in 2009 now seems to belong to another era.

I repeat: something is happening, not only in the relationship between Obama and voters, but also in the relationship between Obama and the mainstream media.

Menometrorrhagia Dysmenorrhea

AWAKENING

If even Chris Matthews, the Emilio Faith of Barack Obama - that, to understand, that in commenting on the Democratic primary, shamelessly explained that he felt that he spoke caused him "a thrill to shake the legs - now feel the need to deprecate no uncertain terms that the President makes extensive use the "teleprompter" (the electronic music stand) in every official occasion, not noticing that it acts as a barrier between him and the other person, making it appear "one who is there to read the written words" without even looking to see who is in front of , it means that something is happening.
(It goes without saying that the raging teleprompter Obama was being used even when the thrill of Matthews in the legs - and even then his detractors mocked and criticized him for this vice).

Tight Jeans Frontal Shots

Almost blue

Novel particular and very varied in terms of the narrative woven by Carlo Lucarelli, who is probably best known for his performances as a conductor and television writer who does not as a writer. In reality, these two roads have always run in parallel, and were held together by a common denominator, represented by the mysteries. In fact, the hit TV show "Blue night "is subtitled" Italian Mysteries "and in his literary production Lucarelli has always been dedicated to yellow. In addition, its particular way of narrating, which made him famous on TV, I found to be present also in the written word. A narrative composed of short sentences and snappy, the incidental, repetition, punctuation mark that seems to syncopated beats punctuate the film as the melody of an orchestra. Very special gimmick, and I personally found very interesting, and the shift of the narrator. Not one, in fact, but three are the views of this novel, which was followed by the role of each of the three main protagonists.

Even if nobody wants to admit it, in Bologna is in action a serial murderess, killing college students with a ritual macabre and disturbing. But what makes it special is the ability to take each time the identity of his victims, so that each of them has actually killed the previous year. Do not do it out of malice or glorification of violence, is simply the only way it can to silence the bells of hell that reverberate in your ears and do crazy, barely held at bay by listening to metal rock blaring with headphones. The difficult task is to figure out who, where and how to take it is entrusted to Grace, a police inspector but particular woman in a club for men only. For her it would be almost impossible to capture the murderess if he could not count on the help of Simon. A shy boy, isolated, without friends, with an obsessive mother, who lives locked in an attic where listening to the sounds of the world through the scanner audio. Small detail: Simone is blind. He sees only his nose and ears, he does not like to use the touch, and prefer their smell, with which interprets the world in its own way. For him, the colors are consonants and vowels, but also feelings, attitudes and emotions. Thus, the voice of the Assassin that sheds its skin like a reptile, and that Simon has picked up an item with the scanner is ugly, heavy, green, while Grace is gentle, sweet, blue. Alternating

a world of smells and sounds to a fact of delusional thoughts and bodies that turn, where to do interval between them are the fears and insecurities of a woman immersed in the prejudices of a sexist society, Lucas weaves a great story and gives us the opportunity to incarnate from time to time in the three main characters, with their emotions and thoughts, to the point, reading this novel, we can choose whether to be a murderess, a policewoman or a blind boy.

I do not have friends. It was my fault. Why not understand them. They talk about things that do not concern me. They say gloss, matt, luminous, invisible. As in that story I was told as a child to make me sleep, when there was a princess so beautiful and with skin so thin that it seemed transparent. It took me many, many nights to think, before realizing that transparency meant that you could look inside. For me it meant that we were passing through my fingers.
