Obama: Ebola Threatens Profound Implications
President Barack Obama has warned of "profound implications" if the world does not act to stop the ebola outbreak in West Africa, as he sent 3,000 US troops to the region. On Tuesday's visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, President Barack Obama outlined measures to prop up health services in areas overwhelmed by the epidemic. He said it was the largest international response in the history of the federal agency, while stressing that the chances of an outbreak in the US were "extremely low". The virus has claimed more than 2,400 lives this year - mostly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

Russians urged 'don't panic' as rouble hits new low
Rublo state
Russian authorities urged people not to panic on Tuesday as the rouble fell to a new all-time low against the US dollar amid concerns about the effect of sanctions on the country's economy. The rouble fell about 1% to 38.71 per dollar, the weakest it has been since the currency was restructured in 1998. Last week, the US and Europe introduced further sanctions against Russia for its actions in Ukraine.

Last week, the US and Europe introduced further sanctions against Russia for its actions in Ukraine.
"Don't panic," said deputy finance minister Alexei Moiseyev.Ordinary Russians are concerned the fall in the rouble could drive up the already high rate of inflation. In early September annual inflation was 7.7% as the weaker rouble increased the cost of foreign imports and Moscow's food import ban reduced competition. The central bank aims to reduce inflation to 4.5% next year and Mr Moiseyev said authorities would act to curb any further increases.

Ode to the Closed McDonald's at Pushkin Square
In Russia, we don't panic easily. We get used to change fairly quickly. On the day of the self-imposed embargo of Western food, my Facebook page was flooded by jokes about delicious Belarussian mussels and toothsome Chinese ham, some of them already in comic strip form. The reality is that we'll get the same food with a "Made in Belarus" sticker glued on. And a new price, of course. Let those girls cry over the loss of mascarpone, we'll still have our Scottish whiskey and Irish stout, those most sacred of items.
But the closure of the first McDonald's — and the more that followed amid sanitation concerns — was different. People got long faces. Everything about this particular branch of the American fast-food giant was iconic for a person born in Soviet Russia. Just as St. Petersburg was once considered our "window to Europe," this restaurant was our "window to the world." Opened on the last day of 1990, the last New Year's Eve of the Soviet Union's existence, for a symbolic yearly rent of one ruble, the McDonald's represented the change that we'd all been waiting for.

L'altra faccia dell'Italia, quella che non si vuol piu' scrivere
Questo il clima che si legge nella cronaca. Quello che non si legge e' la fame nera di coloro che non hanno e non possono. Quello che non viene detto e' che in taluni posti della penisola a forma di stivale c'e'ancora gente che non sa leggere o scrivere, che ci sono persone che credono che vendendosi possono sopravvivere, famiglie che non mandano a scuola i figli perche' sono l'unica loro sopravvivenza mandandoli a fare lavori saltuari per poter sbarcare il lunario, anziche' andare a scuola e imparare a vivere come tutti gli altri.
Lo stereotipo americano e' giunto tra noi da molti anni e quindi bisogna adattarsi, si deve sempre ridere, essere gioiosi, felici, mostrare 56 denti che luccicano di un bianco che manco Mamma Natura lo puo' fare, camminare alla moda, essere in tutto e per tutto uguali, mai essere negativi, mai pensare in negativo, mai dire no, e se si discute tutto deve essere ok, va tutto bene, anzi benissimo. Ridere, sempre, anche se ti muore la compagna adorata, il figlio prediletto, il canarino con cui ci facevi ciu-ciu. Nulla deve essere toccabile e nulla deve essere contro la tua immagine, perche' oggi come oggi e' la tua immagine quella che conta, non chi sei o cosa sai fare!
E allora che fare? Nulla, non si puo' proprio fare nulla. Si deve fare la colazione nella cucina del Mulino Bianco, costruita appositamente perche' tutto era inventato, si deve essere pronti per andare al lavoro tutti e due, con i figli gia' pronti per andare a scuola (ditemi che sono matto ma sempre i figli sono uno maschio e uno femmina, in ogni occasione), con il cane che ti porta il giornale mangiando i suoi tic-tac lava-zanne e quindi tutti si esce poi di casa, quella che ha il giardino con l'amaca, il barbecue, l'altalena, il tosa erba (te lo vedi in piazza Navona un appartamento cosi'?) e i genitori ognuno con la sua auto propria e i figli con le biciclette riservate.
Ecco, questa e' la nostra Italia. Attuale. Quella vera. Benvenuti in Italia, Paese dove c'e'gente che va (poca) e gente che viene (tanta).

The Russian government will offer the economy the kind of investment it needs because of its large state social spending commitments, former finance minister Alexei Kudrin said Tuesday.
A strong advocate of liberal reforms and fiscal prudence, Kudrin has become almost the lone voice among the Russian elite to criticize government policy in dealing with the fallout from the Ukraine crisis.
At a foreign business conference, Kudrin said he expected the Russian economy to stagnate this year or weaken further, and that growth would be negative in 2015, well below government forecasts for 0.5 percent in 2014 and 1 percent next year. With the economy slowing and social spending increasing, the government cannot invest in the economy at the levels it requires to weather Western sanctions, he said. "The government's support is limited, bound by continued large special spending," Kudrin said.
Several state and private companies have suggested they would need to turn to the government for funds to weather Western sanctions. Russian state oil producer Rosneft has asked for $40 billion. Kudrin also said he welcomed the government's plan to turn eastwards for investment and demand but that it would take 20 years for those new trade relations to develop fully.

Lo dice Martin Schulz nell'intervento prima del duplice voto a Kiev e Strasburgo per la ratifica dell'accordo di associazione Ue-Ucraina definendo la doppia votazione in contemporanea "un momento topico di democrazia" ed "il contrario di una democrazia pilotata".

Tragedia a Milano, morti due giovani precipitati dal settimo piano
Due giovani, una ragazza di 19 anni e un ragazzo di 20, sono precipitati dal settimo piano di un palazzo, a Milano. La giovane è deceduta sul colpo, lui è stato ricoverato in gravissime condizioni ed è deceduto stamani all'ospedale S.Gerardo di Monza. Al momento non è ancora chiaro se si sia trattato di un suicidio o se venga presa in considerazione qualche altra ipotesi. Sul posto si trova la polizia, che sta compiendo accertamenti. E' accaduto in via Novara 16, in un complesso condominiale non distante da Affori, nella parte nord della città.
Aveva già provato circa un anno fa a uccidersi lanciandosi nel vuoto il ragazzo di vent'anni che questa notte è precipitato dal settimo piano di un palazzo in via Novara 16, a Milano, assieme a una ragazza che si ritiene potesse essere la sua ex fidanzata. Al bar sotto casa lo conoscevano di vista e ricordano bene che alcuni mesi fa aveva tentato di togliersi la vita buttandosi dal terrazzo della propria abitazione. "Era rimasto lì in piedi per un'ora - racconta Franco, un residente - poi un vigile lo aveva distratto e un altro lo ha afferrato con coraggio. Era stato adottato, sembrava un così bravo ragazzo. La sua famiglia è agiata, non avevano problemi di soldi. Lo vedevo sempre in giro in zona".

Doctor In Poison Case Had 'Fatal Attraction'
A Texas cancer doctor who allegedly laced her lover's coffee with poison had "a fatal attraction" to her victim, a prosecutor has said. Dr Ana Maria Gonzalez-Angulo went on trial on Monday, accused of giving Dr George Blumenschein two cups of tainted coffee last year.
The 43-year-old breast cancer oncologist denies aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against the colleague with whom she was having an affair. "This case is about a woman who was totally obsessed," said Assistant Harris County District Attorney Justin Keiter in opening statements, reports the Houston Chronicle. But Gonzalez-Angulo's lawyer said this was "complete hyperbole".
Dr Blumenschein, who had a long-term girlfriend, was having a casual relationship with the accused when she gave him two cups of tainted coffee on January 27, 2013, according to court documents. After he mentioned his drink tasted unusual, Gonzalez-Angulo allegedly told him it was just sweetener and urged him to carry on drinking. Hours later he began experiencing slurred speech and poor balance.
Dr Blumenschein was taken to an emergency centre, where he was found to have kidney failure, central nervous system depression and cardiopulmonary complications. The lung, head and neck cancer specialist had dialysis and survived. The prosecution says Gonzalez-Angulo spiked the beverage with ethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze, because their relationship was turning sour.
The colourless, ordourless chemical was widely available at the University of Texas medical centre where both doctors worked, say prosecutors. But the defence says there is no proof of ethylene glycol being found in Dr Blumenschein's body. On May 30 last year, investigators charged Gonzalez-Angulo with aggravated assault in connection with the alleged poisoning.

Millions of banknotes sent to Scotland in case Yes vote sparks panic run on cash machines
Britain’s banks have been quietly moving millions of banknotes north of the border to cope with any surge in demand by Scots to withdraw cash in the event of a Yes vote in Thursday's independence referendum, it has emerged.Sources told The Independent the moves have been taking place over the past week or so in order to make sure ATMs do not run out on Friday in the event of a panic reaction to a “yes” vote. There have been some suggestions that people will want to move their money to English banks in the event of an independence vote.
Bankers stressed there has been no sign yet of any increase in the amount of withdrawals from deposit accounts or ATMs, stressing that there was no need because the Bank of England has pledged to stand behind all accounts for at least 18 months in the event of a “yes” vote.

Si ricomincia: L'America attacca l'ISIS con raids aerei
La preoccupazione sale perche' gia' due volte gli americani hanno fatto errori proprio nell' uso degli aerei. Il combattere gli jihaidisti crediamo debba essere una unione di truppe di terra coperte da forze aeree dopo un ultimatum che non esiste da entrmbe le parti. Loro sono pochi, rispetto le forze multinazionali che potrebbero attacccarli, ma forti del fatto che possono farsi esplodere in un qualsiasi momento in un qualsiasi posto del mondo e lo hanno da sempre dimostrato. Noi crediamo formalmente che solo una unione totale delle Nazioni occidentali e orientali, insieme, possa creare davvero un certo timore ad attaccare di nuovo da parte loro. Non bisogna dimenticare che loro tutti sono disposti ad ogni cosa per la loro idea, tanto da morire tutti insieme, soccombere, ma dopo aver inflitto al loro potenziale nemico religioso perdite immani. Inoltre puo' nascere una sorta di "dagli all'untore", con persone che si combattono tra loro per ideali religiosi che nulla hanno a che vedere con la vita terrena.

he Press Agencies report that the American and allied began air raids in order to locate and destroy jihaidists sites in Iraq.
The concern increases because already twice the Americans have made mistakes in the use of their aircraft. The fight jihaidists believe should be a union of troops on the ground covered by the Air Force, after an ultimatum that does not exist in both the parties. They are few, compared with the multinational forces that may attack, but the knowledge that can be detonated at any time in any place of the world, and they have always shown. We believe that only formally a total union of Eastern and Western Nations, together, can really create a certain fear to attack again on their part. Do not forget that all of them are willing to everything for their idea, so much to die all together, succumb, but after inflicting immense losses to their religious potential enemy. It could also give rise to a sort of "search the enemy" with people who fight each other for religious ideals that have nothing to do with earthly life.
