Marqueteiro do Qatar ganha sua terceira eleição consecutiva por grandes eventos esportivos
RODRIGO MATTOS
ENVIADO A ZURIQUE
Um homem é o ponto comum em triunfos nas três últimas disputas mundiais por grandes eventos esportivos.
O marqueteiro e lobista inglês Mike Lee ganhou sua terceira campanha --duas Olimpíadas e uma Copa.
Lee se envolveu nas postulações de Londres à Olimpíada-12 e do Rio para aos de 2016. Agora, ajudou o Qatar.
É responsável por criar imagem de marketing para a postulação e trabalhar na sua comunicação com público e eleitores. Dá poucas entrevistas e se preocupa com cada detalhe que possa prejudicar seus candidatos.
Ontem, abraçou membros da delegação árabe e chorou.
Imagem diferente da postura racional que exibe ao dar ordens aos membros de candidaturas. Costuma ignorar a imprensa local em favor de mídia internacional.
Abusa do uso de chefes de Estado e estuda o corpo eleitoral para traçar a estratégia do que é necessário para agradar aos votantes.
Seu preço é alto. A postulação do Rio aos Jogos-2016 gastou quase R$ 20 milhões apenas com consultorias --a dele e outras.

Artigo recomendado por LB: Ausência de Dilma no Twitter pós-eleição já tem efeito negativo para a presidente
Oi, LB,
Seu(sua) amigo(a), LB, recomendou este artigo intitulado 'Ausência de Dilma no Twitter pós-eleição já tem efeito negativo para a presidente ' para você.
Aqui está o comentário dele(a):
N/D
Ausência de Dilma no Twitter pós-eleição já tem efeito negativo para a presidente
Postado por Clayton Melo em 11 11America/Sao_Paulo novembro 11America/Sao_Paulo 2010 (8:30) em Eleições, Estratégias, Planejamento web, Redes sociais
É inegável que essas eleições tiveram uma participação sem precedentes de mídias sociais capaz de determinar parte dos resultados. Desde o início, os exércitos dos principais candidatos se aglomeraram em blogs e perfis de Twitter, lançaram e repercutiram promessas, combateram-se com boatos, verdades, acusações.
Índice de “saudabilidade” de Dilma Rousseff no Twitter

Os monitoramentos de saúde de marcas feitas pelo sistema I-Brands apontaram uma clara relação entre as pesquisas de intenções de voto e a “saudabilidade” de cada candidato nas mídias sociais (ou seja, a proporção positiva de ocorrências relacionadas aos seus nomes em relação ao universo de menções).
No dia 1 de novembro, a já eleita presidente Dilma contava com 63% de “saudabilidade” na rede (versus 37% de José Serra). Chegava ao fim a corrida presidencial.

O dia 1 de novembro marcou também o último tweet feito pela presidente-eleita, às 10:54 da manhã, e uma inversão dramática em sua saudabilidade.
Tudo mudou e continuou igual?
As semanas seguintes ao pleito testemunharam notícias que dificilmente fazem os cidadãos comemorarem: tentativas de se aumentar salários no legislativo e executivo, denúncias de irregularidade em obras do governo, o perigo da volta da CPMF como mais um imposto para a já sobretaxada sociedade brasileira.
Nos legislativos e executivos estaduais e federal, o buzz alternava-se entre o silêncio absoluto e o surpreendente apoio multipartidário ao aumento de impostos.
De repente, parecia que os eleitos, em todas as instâncias, eram pessoas completamente diferentes das que receberam o voto do eleitorado – e que a forma de se fazer política no Brasil permanecia rigorosamente a mesma das últimas décadas.
Um olhar mais próximo, no entanto, constata que houve, sim, uma importante mudança nas mentes do eleitorado. Agora, além de votar, o cidadão entendeu que tem o direito de cobrar em voz alta – da mesma forma que ele já faz como consumidor. E que essa voz não precisa ser restrita às urnas: ela pode também ser proferida, com alto poder de influência, durante os quatro anos que separam uma eleição de outra.
Há cheiro de mudança no ar
Verdade seja dita, ainda não deu tempo de Dilma mostrar a que veio e qual será o seu estilo de gestão – mas deu, sim, para entender que o usuário envolvido em uma causa reagirá mal no instante em que se sentir abandonado.
Em novo monitoramento feito pelo I-Brands entre os dias 4 e 10 de novembro, a “saudabilidade” da presidente-eleita (e que ainda nem chegou a tomar posse) despencou dos 63% para assustadores 12% – número mais baixo registrado em todo o seu histórico como pre-candidata ou candidata.
Dentre outras coisas, isso indica também a irritação com a qual o eleitor está recebendo a sua ausência nas redes. Na prática, essa irritação pode facilmente se converter em pressões sociais e quedas em índices de aprovação já nos primeiros dias após a posse, prejudicando de maneira decisiva a sua governabilidade.
E foi aberta a caixa de Pandora…
Ao mergulhar (inevitavelmente) nas mídias sociais como forma de se conquistar os corações dos eleitores, os candidatos abriram uma porta para algo que até então mal existia na política brasileira: o relacionamento direto entre governante e governado.
Iniciado nas campanhas pelos próprios políticos, agora são os cidadãos que, de forma direta, exigem a continuidade desse relacionamento.
Como isso será feito ainda é um mistério a ser revelado nos próximos capítulos da história brasileira. Uma coisa, no entanto, é certa: ignorar a necessidade de se perenizar esse relacionamento pode ser um erro cujas consequências tendem a ser dramáticas para os eleitos.
Exatamente, aliás, como aconteceria com qualquer empresa que decidisse parar de falar com o seu cliente no instante em que assumisse alguma posição confortável de mercado.

Em uma semana, 58 mil pessoas pedem a Lula solução sobre Ficha Limpa
O Movimento de Combate à Corrupção Eleitoral (MCCE) iniciou uma mobilização pela internet para pressionar o presidente Lula a indicar o 11º ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal para resolver o impasse com relação à Lei da Ficha Limpa. No dia 17, o MCCE colocou uma carta no site Avaaz pedindo a Lula que escolha "um ministro para o STF que tenha um histórico comprovado anticorrupção". A carta também sugere a Lula que, na hora da escolha, "escute o povo brasileiro e resista à pressão dos corruptos".
Em uma semana, mais de 58 mil pessoas já haviam aderido à campanha. O objetivo é que cada pessoa que acessar o site envie uma cópia da carta a Lula, pressionando-o a tomar uma decisão. No texto de apresentação da carta, o movimento lembra que o presidente está sendo da mesma forma pressionado "por partidos, por políticos corruptos e interesses particulares" para designar um ministro que vote contra a constitucionalidade da Lei da Ficha Limpa. E faz um apelo à população: "Não temos tempo a perder. Vamos reagir a enviar ao gabinete de Lula uma enxurrada de mensagens pedindo que ele escolha um ministro do Supremo que tenha integridade e sólido currículo anticorrupção".
Texto da carta que está sendo enviada a Lula:
"Excelentíssimo Presidente Lula,
Por favor aponte um Ministro para o STF que tenha um histórico comprovado anticorrupção. A Ficha Limpa nos deu esperança de um governo mais responsável e ético, livre da corrupção que há tanto tempo assola o nosso país. Escute o povo brasileiro e resista à pressão de corruptos ao tomar esta importante decisão.
Atenciosamente,"

Projeto SP 2022 tem encontro na zona central da cidade
V Encontro do Projeto SP 2022 no Centro de São Paulo
O objetivo deste é convidar as lideranças das instituições e pessoas interessadas da região central da cidade para a troca de experiências e a busca de ideias e opiniões para construirmos uma nova visão de uma cidade melhor.
O projeto São Paulo 2022 quer dotar a sociedade civil e o setor público paulistanos de informações sobre a capital para melhorá-la contemplando uma agenda de desenvolvimento justo e sustentável.
As sugestões captadas em todas as macro-regiões da cidade (Norte, Sul, Leste, Oeste e Centro), junto às informações levantadas no processo de pesquisa, realizada pela equipe do projeto, serão apresentadas ao poder público para subsidiar o novo Plano Diretor Estratégico (que vigora entre 2013 e 2022).
De acordo com Ladislau Dowbor, consultor científico do projeto, é importante a participação das lideranças e entidades para que as propostas sejam mais consistentes e possam conciliar as necessidades de cada região com uma visão geral da cidade.
O encontro será documentado e disponibilizado futuramente para consulta.
O evento será realizado no dia 06 de dezembro, segunda-feira, às 14h, nas dependências da Escola da Cidade, na rua General Jardim, 65 – República (Próximo a Praça da República).

Abaixo-assinado Em FAVOR da aprovação PLC 138/2010 - Regulamentação Profissão Pesquisador de Mercado
http://www.peticaopublica.com.br/?pi=asbpmplc
O PLC 138/2010, que Regulamenta a Profissão de Pesquisador de Mercado, Opinião e Mídia é necessário!
A Pesquisa de Mercado, Opinião e Mídia é uma atividade essencialmente multidisciplinar, em cujo exercício convergem os conhecimentos de várias ciências e formações profissionais, sem reserva de mercado a nenhuma delas.
Ao contrário, é preciso que a atividade de Pesquisa de Mercado, Opinião e Mídia seja reconhecida como atividade legal de profissionais de formações diferentes. A multiplicidade de interesses e a especialização em técnicas e processos de execução de pesquisas são requisitos mais importantes do que uma formação acadêmica excludente das demais.
A multidisciplinaridade que o PL procura reconhecer é essencial ao desenvolvimento da nossa profissão e não exclui nem os estatísticos, nem os economistas, nem os especialistas em opinião pública, nem os psicólogos, nem os publicitários, nem os sociólogos, nem os engenheiros, nem os administradores de empresas. Ao contrário, afirmamos energicamente que a inclusão de todos esses profissionais é necessária na nossa profissão e que esta deve continuar sendo uma atividade respeitada, autônoma e multidisciplinar, como já era desde muito antes de existirem cursos especializados ou faculdades de Estatística, de Psicologia, de Relações Públicas, de Administradores de Empresas, etc.
Ademais, é preciso atentar para o fato de que a Pesquisa de Mercado, Opinião e Mídia é exercida por profissionais de níveis diversos de educação formal. São também profissionais do ramo os entrevistadores no Brasil todo, cuja atividade não é reconhecida e não requer formação superior. Também o são os profissionais de processamento de dados, os codificadores, os recrutadores de entrevistados, os verificadores, etc.
Todos devem estar sujeitos a um mesmo conjunto de normas éticas gerais que visem a incrementar a fé pública na pesquisa, a qualidade dos dados obtidos, a proteção do anonimato dos entrevistados, a fidelidade ao interesse dos clientes - e eles merecem a proteção legal - que estamos reivindicando em nome de milhares de profissionais do Brasil todo.
É em nome deles que pedimos o empenho dos senhores Senadores no sentido de uma aprovação rápida e sem alterações do projeto já aprovado na Câmara dos Deputados.
Atenciosamente,

Será gratuito cuando se lance oficialmente
Google crea una herramienta para sincronizar Google Docs con Office
Portaltic | ELMUNDO.es
Google Cloud Connect, todavía en fase de pruebas, permite a los
usuarios editar un documento de Office a través de la 'nube'.
Google ha lanzado Google Cloud Connect, una nueva herramienta
que sincroniza los documentos de Google Docs con los creados en
Microsoft Office, lo que permite a los usuarios editar un
documento de Office a través de la 'nube'.'Google Cloud Connect'
es un 'plugin' que sincroniza los documentos, hojas de cálculo y
presentaciones de Office 2003, 2007 y 2010 con los de la 'nube'
de Google.Por el momento se ha lanzado una versión beta que
estaba disponible para usuarios y empresas que ya fueran
clientes del servicio Google Apps, según recoge la compañía en
su blog. Sin embargo, debido a la "extraordinaria demanda de
cientos de empresas en las últimas horas", el buscador ya no
acepta voluntarios para su programa de pruebas.En cualquier
caso, quien esté interesado en saber cuándo estará disponible el
servicio, que será gratis "para todo el mundo", puede rellenar
un formulario para recibir una notificación cuando esto
ocurra.Quienes han podido acceder a la versión veta, verán cómo,
tras instalar el plugin, aparece un nuevo apartado en la parte
superior de Office con un enlace a Google Docs. Cada vez que se
guarden los cambios también se guardarán en la versión 'online'
y cuando exista un conflicto de datos, siempre se le preguntará
al usuario con antelación cuáles quiere conservar.De esta manera
se facilitará el trabajo de las empresas ya que se puede editar
un documento, ya sea de Microsoft Office o Google Docs de forma
simultánea, guardando todas las revisiones que se han realizado
del mismo.La tecnología de Google Cloud Connect deriva de
DocVerse, una herramienta que Google adquirió en marzo de este
año que permite que varios usuarios colaboren y editen
documentos de Microsoft Office. Originalmente, DocVerse se
centró sólo en la sincronización de documentos de Word con los
demás para que los usuarios puedieran colaborar.Por el momento,
el servicio no está disponible en Mac debido a "la falta de
soporte para APIs abiertas en Office para Mac". Desde Google
explican que "esperan con ganas" el momento en que puedan
proporcionar Cloud Connect a los usuarios de Mac.

Transición entre gobiernos
Los "tres cerditos" de Dilma
La presidenta electa se rodea de un poderoso trío de
colaboradoresLos integrantes del grupo son apodados 'porquinhos'
por sus kilos de másAl menos dos de ellos, Palocci y Cardozo,
formarán parte del Ejecutivo LEA MÁS NOTICIAS DE AMÉRICA EN
ELMUNDO.ES/AMERICA
Luis Tejero (Corresponsal)
La presidenta electa se rodea de un trío de colaboradores a los
que llama "porquinhos" por sus kilos de más.
A la sombra, pero siempre presentes, tres hombres supervisan de
principio a fin cada jugada política de Dilma Rousseff. Son "los
tres cerditos" de la futura presidenta brasileña, bautizados así
en plena campaña electoral por un cierto exceso de kilos que se
deja ver inevitablemente en sus cinturones algo ajustados y sus
mejillas a veces sonrosadas.Sólo Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
influye más en su heredera que el trío formado por el presidente
del Partido de los Trabajadores (PT), José Eduardo Dutra, y los
diputados Antonio Palocci y José Eduardo Cardozo. Igual que
gestionaron los comicios, controlan ahora la transición entre
gobiernos y a partir del 1 de enero de 2011 asumirán algunos de
los puestos clave del Ejecutivo. Siempre sometidos a las órdenes
de Dilma, pero lo suficientemente próximos a ella como para
soplarle ideas que alteren sus decisiones.Cuentan que el
apelativo de "porquinhos" -"cerditos" en portugués- proviene del
Partido del Movimiento Democrático Brasileño (PMDB), el
principal aliado del PT y liderado por el vicepresidente electo,
Michel Temer. Sin embargo, Dilma no tuvo reparos en apropiarse
de la broma para referirse cariñosamente a sus fieles escuderos.
Primero en privado, llamándoles así apenas en reuniones o
encuentros personales, y desde hace unos días también en
público. Para suerte o desgracia de sus protagonistas, la
expresión ya goza de carácter oficial."No fui yo quien les dio
ese apodo. Al principio el término se usaba como una crítica,
pero lo adopté porque era más sencillo", admitió el pasado
viernes la sucesora de Lula, durante un discurso ante la cúpula
del PT en el que homenajeó a sus asesores -y quizá inminentes
ministros- por la victoria en las urnas. "Creo que los tres
cerditos tuvieron buenos resultados en la coordinación de mi
campaña. Conviví con ellos todos los días y encontré un apoyo
muy grande. Fueron mis compañeros a todas horas", elogió. Paja,
madera y ladrillosPero ¿quién es quién en el trío
político-porcino? Dilma no quiso meterse en ese jardín y delegó
la tarea en Cardozo, el más joven del grupo a sus 48 años y
orgulloso destinatario del mote. El diputado paulista, que sueña
con asumir en unas semanas la cartera de Justicia, fue más allá
que su jefa y vinculó los nombres de sus compañeros y el suyo
propio a cada uno de los tres personajes llevados al cine por
Disney.Para sí mismo, Cardozo se reservó el cerdito perezoso, el
de la casa de paja que destruye fácilmente el lobo feroz con un
soplido. Dutra, el líder del PT, representa según esa adaptación
al animal que construye con madera y también fracasa. El ex
ministro Palocci, en cambio, se lleva el papel del más precavido
y trabajador, el que levanta una vivienda de ladrillo en la que
acaban refugiándose todos. Acumulación de poderDe los tres,
quien parece tomárselo con menos humor es el cerdito mediano,
Dutra, dispuesto a adelgazar para desprenderse del calificativo.
El mismo domingo ya anticipaba en Twitter sus intenciones
saludables: "Caminata de una hora en el Parque de la Ciudad. La
meta es perder algunos kilos acumulados en la campaña y,
consecuentemente, el apodo".Cuentos y chistes aparte, lo cierto
es que la acumulación de poder en las manos de sólo tres
políticos molesta a algunos sectores del PT que se sienten
excluidos y temen una nueva versión del núcleo duro que rodeaba
a Lula en los inicios de su primer mandato. No es casualidad que
Palocci estuviera ya entonces -junto a José Dirceu y Luiz
Gushiken- y se mantenga ahora en el centro de las decisiones.
Para tranquilidad de los lulistas y envidia sus críticos, el
cerdito previsor será el encargado de mantener el Palacio de
Planalto a salvo de los lobos.

How about The Ruthless Four, a spaghetti Western starring Klaus Kinski.
Babelgum Films: Babelgum's goal is to act as an international 'glue', bringing a huge range of professional and semi-professional films to a global audience like a modern-day Tower of Babel.

BestOnlineDocumentaries: As one reader previously told us, "This site is a bit out of date and some of the links are broken, but it's still a great compilation of online documentaries." For more documentaries, you should also see Snagfilms mentioned below.
Classic Cinema Online: This site nicely pulls together hundreds of classic films, ranging from Action to Westerns and even old cinema shorts and news reels.
ClearBits: This new site provides hosting and distribution for open licensed (Creative Commons) media and datasets. They have a section devoted just to movies, and all their content can be downloaded without cost.
Crackle.com: If you're looking for more mainstream movies, here you go. This is Sony's online movie play. Note: there's probably some geo-blocking that comes with this. Also, one of our readers has also suggested the UK-based Blinkbox, which seems to offer another platform for more mainstream films.
Creative Commons: The folks who gave us the Creative Commons license host a wiki where you can find a good number of freely available films. Handy and worth keeping an eye on. I'd also suggest keeping tabs on CC's Video blog.
Daily Motion Movies: This YouTube-style video site features a section that offers short films in HD. The collection is small, and you won't find well known films here. But some movies get decent reviews. This looks to be part of a beta project that could expand.

Free Documentaries.Org: Specializes in showing provocative documentaries for free.
Free Movies Cinema: A mixture of yet more free films, which includes Quentin Tarantino's early film, My Best Friend's Birthday.
Hulu: Unfortunately Hulu limits its programming to a US audience (a policy that really needs to change), but it's the 800 pound gorilla in the US, and there are some decent films here. You will find some Hulu titles sprinkled in above.
IMDB: This is perhaps a little redundant, but the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) also hosts some free online films (as well as TV shows) on its site. From what I can tell, it's done in partnership with Hulu. But this collection has the advantage of pointing you to some decent films. Click here and scroll down. You can also find another re-packager of Hulu flix over at Veoh.com.
Indie Movies Online: Just as it sounds. A good place to watch full-fledged indie films on the web. Right now, you can find Peter Greenaway's film, Rembrandt's J'accuse and The Future We Will Create Inside the World of TED. The site seems to be available in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, but perhaps also beyond.
Jaman: Jaman is mainly a pay-per-download site that focuses on indie-style films, but they do host some free movies. Even though they have a page devoted to their free films, it's actually not that easy to find the freebies. You have to fish around a little.
Legal Torrents: Pretty much what the name says. Legaltorrents.com hosts high quality open-licensed (Creative Commons) digital media and art. This link takes you to their movie section.

PBS Video: PBS hosts online a new film based on Michael Pollan's bestseller, Botany of Desire. Other PBS productions are also housed here.
QuickSilverScreen: This site essentially puts torrents online and lets you watch films posted by other users, including many new films. It's hard to believe that this site is entirely kosher, but it's very popular (one of the top 3,000 sites on the web) and hardly a closely held secret.
Sling.com: This collection contains some dreck, but also some decent documentaries and classic films. So it gets on the list.
SnagFilms: SnagFilms "finds the world's most compelling documentaries, whether from established heavyweights or first-time filmmakers, and makes them available to a wide audience." You can watch full-length documentary films for free. Currently includes over 550 films.
