Les Ulis: police repression against the students

CLAP33 & Set resist

PROTESTS yesterday and today

The demo in question from Monday, October 18 was attended six institutions of 93 and 94 evening about 130 students and twenty teachers. She marched down the Champs Elysees without problem (singing) to Fouquet's, where riot police were waiting, surrounded them for an hour (with challenges), then framed them to the subway.

They met for a sitting (hyper peaceful) at the Bastille, with a workforce of about 60 students melted, and 5 adults. CRS were suddenly cut off the group into two, and boarded a half. In

that half were about thirty teenagers and a teacher (high school Romain Rolland d'Ivry). They were released an hour or two hours later after identity checks. That's what I know from my brother, Prof. Romain Rolland in high school, and has participated throughout the day.

Last Friday and yesterday, Les Ulis, riot police used plastic bullets against adolescents. A student (a child) was shot in the chest, a high school (one child) was shot in the back. The riot police used tear gas in the center of Les Ulis, where there were mothers with their babies (témoignange one of my former students). The headmaster of the school's Essouriau, Les Ulis (which is blocked since Thursday), takes photos of students participating in the movement and blocking the school. All this is from a reliable source (my wife is a teacher at school).

Today, I was in the demo, with my 6 year old son (as often), in the procession of students and teachers of 93 and 94. At the halfway point of the avenue, five men armed with batons came running and high school students were clubbed in the back before fleeing.

The whole thing took about ten seconds, caused a large movement crowd.

I found the 5 guy in question, an hour later, down the Goblins (it took an hour and a half down the Goblins), talking with helmeted riot police who were at the corner of bd Saint-Marcel.

Saint-Nazaire: Two to four months in prison for four defendants. Two of them immediately placed in custody in Lyon

Saint-Nazaire-Infos

On Thursday, four suspects arrested in connection with the violence by gathering were sentenced to terms of imprisonment with warrant Filing for two of them. While the social movement hardens, justice seems he wanted to calm things down, imposing sentences substantially lighter than the prosecution case.
The false announcement of an appearance of the defendants on Friday, has clearly not had the desired effect. Finally, the four people arrested following the incidents on Tuesday were brought before the court at Saint-Nazaire in immediate appearance this Thursday at 11 am Outside the court, over two hundred people gathered to support the defendants and especially a 41 year old longshoreman who, like the three other defendants were appearing for acts of violence (throwing rocks, cans, etc..) against persons vested with public authority. In a full courtroom, more than 50 people are there. Among them, supports the first time as members of Codelib, but also young people, representatives of the CGT port. In the dock, a dock worker for 41 years, father of five children. Mine defeat, a trembling voice, the man did not appear to look like a leader. Yet it is these terms that the Attorney will describe the defendant: "Mr. X. sest behaved like a leader. He gave the'exemple with conduct of incitement to break and this is a aggravating circumstance. Therefore, I demand six months of which two were suspended, probation, and made compulsory treatment in custody.


A video not viewed by the court

In a particularly telling argument, Master Marteret emphasizes the undeniable political context of this case. A case that according counsel for the accused said many inconsistencies. And stress: "How is this case can it be judged, then the court could not watch the video by the police, as acknowledged by Mr. Prosecutor?". continued: "The facts of frustration must be taken into account in this case. In 41 years, my client has been employed for long. He was highly alcoholic and discernment so altered. The alcohol was due on his birthday. Therefore, I hope that my client has the conditional sentence with a probation and a duty of care ". Finally at the end of deliberations, the longshoreman was sentenced to four months imprisonment, two farm and released to his relief and that of his comrades came to lend their support in this ordeal.

A ruthless indictment, reducing the penalties

Meanwhile, three other persons appearing for similar offenses. But as for the dock, the court for sentencing below the indictment, as if justice would to reduce tension.

Saturday, October 16 The police everywhere, the police

Val-de-Marne: The police are references are discrete in high school
Two high schools in the department welcome for a week of enforcement. A controversial measure that the practice is somewhat tricky.
"Oh, they arrived?" This is the most common reaction when questioning students after school at Champlain Chennevières on the presence of police referrals. This versatile high school of about 2,000 students home for about a week yet a brigadier to ensure a permanent one afternoon a week.
Four businesses [ Francois Arago in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges-Edouard Branly in Creteil, Armand Guillaumin at Orly and Samuel de Champlain Chennevières. ] have, in total, were selected from the department (out of 53 nationally) in receiving law enforcement. Of the four, the school-Francois Arago in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, from the start, refused police presence at a board of directors. Edouard Branly in Créteil will return to his holiday of All Saints. Armand Guillaumin at Orly and Champlain Chennevières have them for about a week.
"We cover more than it shows," suggests a teacher from Champlain. According to the teacher, the policeman was installed in an office near that of the headmaster: "He will not go into the professional part, because it would be too large a source of concern," suggests he with a smile. His arrival is seen as "stigmatized" by some professors and students. "I do not see why it is here, says Anne, second. There are no more problems elsewhere. "The missions are varied referral officer: to welcome and inform victims of assault or extortion (but it will not receive any complaint on the spot), recall the rules right to youth problem, being present in the playground, intervene if tensions do prevention in the classroom ...
"I think it's great. Sometimes there are flights leaving the school ... It will be safer, "suggests a young girl. "It is useless because they will not be there all the time, "comes another. "It will worsen the problems, says a high school track career. Some will take it to the provocation. "
The fact that the officer is armed Champlain scares some students:" If something happens, he can get his weapon ... It puts pressure "laments a young girl. "We were told that the gun was part of the uniform, slips a teacher. I find it shocking. "All police referents are not yet armed. That of high school Armand Guillaumin at Orly is in civilian clothes and unarmed. When contacted, the Rector declined to comment on the subject.

for mobile police and yellows in action in Le Havre

PACO on LePost

No Sunday for the class struggle in Le Havre. Frames Yellow attempted to break the strike this morning to the CIM. This afternoon, the mobile police have landed at the Normandy refinery. The struggle continues and strengthens.



This morning, the state has used non-striking executives to restart the pipeline that runs from the Compagnie Industrielle Maritime (CIM) at the airport of Roissy. A true commando operation. The yellow rose from the sea to bypass the picket line and enter the site illegally. It will take more to discourage employees who resorted to 95% of the ICD. UL CGT denounces interference with the right to strike coupled with an incredible "act of organized crime by the highest state authorities". The operation was performed by unqualified people in an area classified Seveso 2. The fuel has not been sampled, it can also be hazardous to aviation.

Another front has hardened to 15 hours. Many mobile police vans were surprised the picket line of the Normandy refinery / Total Gonfreville l'Orcher. An operation that was cut short by the arrival of energetic two hundred dockers and Port Authority workers, reinforced by railwaymen customs officials, workers, teachers ... militants CGT, FSU and Solidarity. Scarves lights slung, elected officials, including Jean-Paul Lecoq, Mayor CPF Gonfreville l'Orcher, also made the trip to remind the law to the forces of disorder.

It was almost immediate and total blockade of the industrial zone. CRS and gendarmes mobiles are not welcome on the territory of the Autonomous Port. Finally, the Blues got back in their trucks trying to make believe that their presence was due to an "environmental threat". Big joke. A hundred activists of Camp for Climate Action were there October 16 to launch "an attack" against the Normandy refinery in the country's change of system, not the climate. If this fight is legitimate to take very seriously, do not make fun of the world. These are not the environmentalists who block right now the refinery, but the resistance movement, anti-Sarkozy. And this is just the beginning. Generalize actions. General Strike!

Visit Tuesday, October 19, at 10 am in the gardens of City Hall of Le Havre for a huge rally.

T-Mobile Wing T-Mobile

T-Mobile Wing

I'm picky about call quality. In fact, I rarely praised the quality of phone calls - until now. In my experience, the navy blue T-Mobile Wing ($ 300 with a two-year contract) sounded terrific. While on calls, I heard virtually none of the witness or the whistling noise that usually betrays the fact that I'm on a cell phone. And the people I spoke with noted that I sounded very clear - even if on a jetway at an airport noise. Call quality is not the only force Wing: It also offers impressive battery life and an array of strong features.
The phone - the first to ship preloaded with Windows Mobile 6.0 (T-Mobile also make Windows Mobile 6 available an update for the dashboard ) - has many features, including a still image and video camera, messaging, and the familiar like menu system with Windows applications go. The phone includes Office Mobile with Word, Excel and PowerPoint (you can view, create and edit documents); Windows Live for Windows Mobile (with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Hotmail, Live Search and Live Spaces ), Windows Media Player and My Documents folder structure for storing files and multimedia. Other instant messaging applications (for use with AOL, ICQ, and Yahoo), Java applications, a T-Mobile HotSpot log-in shortcut, and a voice recorder.
The wing comes with a 2.8-inch touch screen (T-Mobile bundles a stylus with the phone, but I tended to rely on my fingers do the walking) . Six keys very sensitive, and five on the navigation control below the screen before the screen makes solo sailing a breeze. Slide the display left, and the screen automatically reorients to landscape to accompany your typing on the keyboard spacious. keys are large and flat, with backlighting that makes using the camera in a darkened environment a breeze. I found the Wing surprisingly comfortable for thumb-typing when I took the unit with both hands as typist, I was surprised how quickly I could type (I have small hands, a friend with larger hands found the keyboard to navigate more difficult).
Unfortunately, other aspects of the design of the phone are less attractive. Specifically, I found a lot of buttons around the edge of the phone difficult to press and poorly constructed. For example, the volume slider, located near the center of the phone along the left side, was difficult to adjust the keyboard of my finger (if you have nails long enough, it could not be a problem).
The dedicated camera button is located near the top left of the camera when the phone is oriented vertically and the top right when the phone is situated horizontally - the best way to use the camera. But the button is flat and hard to press. When I did, I often accidentally click twisted sliding mechanism of the phone, too, which makes me worry about the long-term integrity of this critical part of the phone. Pressing the camera button launched the 2-megapixel CMOS digital camera phone, with its 8X digital video zoom camera (for pictures in low resolution) and (capable of capturing clips at up to 176 by 174 resolution), but the phone lagged considerably while the camera appeared.
I suspect that some of my gripes with the phone may be more related to Windows Mobile 6 as the device itself. Application Communications Manager, for example, houses a dizzying array of options - everything from vibrate settings and ringer, EDGE and GPRS data connection minutiae. To disable the wireless antennas and put the phone into flight mode, I had to traverse three screens - more before I found a helpful shortcut - just to get to the point of Communications Manager where I could disable the wireless radio.
As MDA T-Mobile Wing (underlying model number HERA110) is manufactured and designed for T-Mobile by HTC. claims that T-Mobile Wing is 30 percent below the MDA. It certainly feels more compact than the MDA, weighing 6 ounces and measuring 2.3 by 4.3 by 0.7 inches. When closed, the wing is dominated by its 240-by-320-resolution, 65,000 color touch screen. When opened, it offers a smoother version of T-Mobile Sidekick III.
Wing is a quad-band GSM phone with support for 850 -, 900 -, 1800 - and 1900 - MHz. It works a 201-MHz processor OMAP850 with 64 MB of RAM and 128 MB read-only. According to T-Mobile, phone by default comes with 26 MB of free memory and 16 MB of available program storage. You can add storage for multimedia and data files via the MicroSD card.
The hardliners of the entire 10 hours that marks the ceiling of the evaluation of PC World Test Center battery life. His performance corresponds to that of models such as the T-Mobile MDA (which this model replaces) and the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8300 - our most recently tested top performers.
The phone comes with a holster and an assortment of cables and connectors. The 258-page manual covers all important topics, but unfortunately, T-Mobile does not include a copy of the manual on the phone itself in PDF format so you can see from the Adobe Acrobat Reader LE loaded. When I asked for help in the phone, the included Microsoft help file did not meet my needs.

Greek Schoolboy killed in 2008: life imprisonment for policeman!

The Greek policeman who killed a schoolboy in late 2008 in Athens, during a flash that blew into the malaise of urban violence any Greek youth, was sentenced Monday to life in prison, convicted of intentionally shot his victim.

concluding a case that pitted the country against a police discredited by years of unpunished brutality, the Assize Court of Amfissa, a small town in central Greece, the majority decided to load up the accused Korkonéas Epaminondas, 38.

After nine months of hearings, three of the four jurors and one of three judges found him guilty of "homicide with intent to kill," without recognizing him no mitigating circumstances.

released on parole since June, after 18 months in custody, the officer was to begin serving his sentence in the evening of Monday, pending trial on appeal that his defense has requested.

Korkonéas had defended himself in court of any intention to kill, claiming to have fired in an attempt to repel an attack by youths. He acknowledged, however, not have been the target of Molotov cocktails, as he had initially claimed in his testimony.

His lawyer, Alexis Kouya, a controversial star of the Athens Bar, reacted by saying that the verdict would be quite different on appeal "on behalf of the rule of law." During the trial, Mr. Kouya had presented the victim, Alexander Gregoropoulos 15 years as a troublemaker, arousing the indignation of the family.

"Justice is done", said the family lawyer, Nikos Constantopoulos.

patrolling with a colleague Dec. 6, 2008 at night in the district of Exarchia protest in central Athens, police fired three bullets with his service weapon in the direction of a group of youth. Hit in the torso, the teenager had died before arrival at hospital.

The court has instead chosen to impose the minimum sentence, 10 years in prison, Vassilios Saraliotis, a policeman of 32 years who teamed with Korkonéas, convicted of complicity. Finally

rejected by the court, demand a release of the officer broke the calm that had prevailed until then in the courtroom, which were next the press and families of the victim and accused. The public had to be called to order after a police guard was asked to make out the grandmother the schoolboy, who admonished the mother Saraliotis.

The trial was relocated to Amfissa to prevent incidents, and large police forces were deployed around the court.

The death of the youth had caused more than a month of events, interspersed with acts of vandalism in cities, showing the malaise of a youth undermined by economic insecurity and political mismanagement, less one year before the country is degenerating into a financial crisis unprecedented.

Federating and radicalizing a movement protesting still alive, the burr was also followed by a revival of extremist activism, with an increasing number of attacks specifically targeted the police, including two members were killed and seven wounded.

Obviously taken aback, the Conservative government has finally thrown the towel in front of the impasse socio-economic development, calling mid-term and after five years in power early elections in October 2009 won by the Socialists George Papandreou.

The previous December in recent months has fueled the fear, previously denied, of a social explosion in Greece face the rigor imposed cure the country to recover its finances, leading to falling living standards and rising unemployment, which currently affects 22.8% of 15-29 years.

Digital Camera Buttons Dont Work

T-Mobile Tap

The cheap T-Mobile Tap ($ 80 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile, the price of 11/17/09), developed by Huawei , is a stylish touchscreen phone targeted at preteens. Although the valve has a solid suite of multimedia and communication features, the interface slow and soft keyboard to prevent it from being narrow the ultimate messaging phone.
Tap The compact measures 4.2 by 2.2 by 0.5 inches thick and weighs only 3.7 ounces light as a feather. Although the face of the phone is plastic, its support is rubberized, and he feels very comfortable in the hand. Two hardware buttons (Talk at the end) and a four-way directional pad with an "OK" are below Tap's main display. The right spine houses a dedicated camera key, a screen lock key and the volume rocker. At the top are the key to power and charge mini USB headphone jack / port. Unfortunately, the phone has no standard headphone jack of 3.5 mm.
touch screen 2.8-inch 240-by-320-pixel dominates the face of the phone. Although the screen is fairly low resolution, the icons are large enough and clear enough to decipher, and the text is still legible. Faucet display is on the small side for a full-touch phone (the average size of phone screens function seems to be about 3 inches). If a 2.8-inch screen is great for messaging, I found it too small for video playback and playback of web pages.
In my hands on testing, I found that I had to press very hard on the plastic of the display Press to scroll through my contacts or flick through my pictures. The Tap supports haptic feedback, then when you press an icon or a key and saves it with the phone, you get a sensation of vibration of light. This is a nice feature, since the tap is quite slow to react to the touch - especially in keypad mode. I noticed a lag between pressing a letter and see it appear on the screen. The haptic feedback makes you feel that something happens when you press a button - even if it takes a letter time to appear.
You can use the soft keyboard in portrait or landscape. If you intend to do lots of texting, you'll mostly use it in the last orientation, the keyboard in portrait orientation can be frustrating to use. Each key is assigned several letters, so you have to press until you get the correct letter, even with predictive text, this method can become tedious. Landscape mode is more like touching the keyboard we are accustomed, but he feels still a little cramped when typing long messages.
The call quality on T-Mobile's 3G network has been generally good. My Contacts sounded loud and clear, and I heard no static or interference. Party to the other end heard background noise, but otherwise the sound quality was clean.
The tap of the user interface widgets based gives it the feel of a high-end functionality or a smartphone. At the bottom of your home screen shortcuts four explicit: Dialer Contacts, web, and the menu. A bar along the right side of the screen contains 18 widgets (Google Search, weather, photos, etc.) that can be dragged onto the screen. This customization, while simplistic, given the Tap smartphone a look and feel like.
To configure your mail based webmail account on the faucet, you simply enter your account name and password, and you're all set. The Tap also messages (MMS to send pictures and video) and SMS. For instant messaging, the faucet comes with Nimbuzz all-in-one messaging client that includes support for AIM, Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger , GoogleTalk, and many other chat accounts.
To browse the Web, you can access through the program web2go T-Mobile - which, frankly, it can be awkward and difficult to navigate. The text is small and difficult to read, and there is something archaic about the whole interface. You also have to rely on the 3G network of T-Mobile, because there is no support for Wi-Fi on tap.
The music player is simple: You can create playlists and play back in random order and repetition, but you will not display album art. The Tap supports a nice range of audio files - MP3, AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, MIDI, WAV, and MPEG4. Its ambiance through the included earbuds was decent, but somewhat hollow. Unfortunately you can not swap the headphones to put yours, that the faucet has a mini USB socket owner rather than the standard 3.5 mm jack. If you're tired of your own collection, you can skip to the construction of an FM radio.
The 2-megapixel shooter produces better pictures than I expected. The colors are slightly washed out and the details a little fuzzy, but overall they were pretty good for a camera with a low number of megapixels and no flash. If in shooting mode, you can adjust white balance, the scenery (day or night) and change the mode Shooting (normal tones, black and white or sepia).
Although the valve is intended to pre-teens, I do not know if they have the patience to use the Tap - especially if they are frequent text messenger. The keyboard can be frustrating to use, and while the interface is easy to navigate and look good, it can be quite slow. The Tap has a good set of functionality for the price, however, and the camera works better than expected.
