Only 6% of the top selling games are violent
The Association of Retailers and editors of Entertainment Software (ADES) has granted for the seventh consecutive year the awards to reward the best-selling video games of 2007. The ill winds of crisis does not seem to affect an industry whose sales reached a value of 1454 billion euros. The way the game is that, in the past year, 33% more titles have reached the number of units sold to qualify for these industry awards. In total, 72 games have been rewarded for ADES thanks to its sales in 2007. Six of them have received the Award of Double Platinum, to overcome the 160,000 copies sold, 23 others have won the Disc Platinum (over 80,000 copies) and, finally, 43 more have achieved the Gold, with over 40,000 units in the market.
The prizes are different for each format, and given the fact that a game can be achieved several awards. This is the case of 'Fifa 08'. This simulator football has been the undisputed best of 2007, with double-disc platinum and platinum on PS2 in the PS3 and Playstation Portable. After football, games and social action headed the list of blockbusters. The two titles in the saga of karaoke SingStar (and Latin Pop Hits) have reached double-platinum awards each, along with action games such as wrestling franchise of American WWF Smackdown Vs Raw 'or the spectacular Assasins Creed. Other sagas such as Call of Duty 4 have achieved triple gold in various platforms.
For platforms, consoles will be strengthened as the leaders of the PC sales compared with nearly 82% of the video game winners. Contrary to what might be thinking, the more violent video games are not the best sellers. Just 6% of the games winners have been classified as' only for adults over 18 years' and children's franchises such as "Imagine being ', Ubisoft, has achieved all its games to reach gold, platinum or double platinum in the case Imagine being the mom.
Piracy does not seem to affect the sector with so much force as is believed, and for the first time in the history of these awards, the awards were handed ADES under the II International Forum on Digital Contents (FICOD) organized by the Ministry of Industry , Tourism and Trade.
This edition of the awards for the video game industry confirms a trend increasingly visible: the momentum gained by the titles of musical themes as Guitar Hero III, High School Musical or SingStar Pop Hits and SingStar Latino, the last two title winners with Double Platinum. The consoles are increasingly appliances designed for the enjoyment group and the music is an irresistible attraction for many casual players. Konami, and it showed in his days with the saga of games Dance Dance Dance Revolution and Sony continued to the wire with its SingStar karaoke.
The trendy music does not stop there, Xbox just to market an advanced karaoke called Lips, in which the wisdom of the user at the time of singing following the rhythm should be combined or dancing, thanks to its motion-sensitive microphones. Nintendo, meanwhile, is preparing for the launch of Wii Music, a simulator in which the chameleon command of the Wii turns into dozens of different musical instruments. Guitar Hero is already a classic and has now been remastered edition with the On Tour, which adds drums and vocals ala guitar.

The arrest of eight poachers, two in Pola de Lena and six other locations in the province of Leon
ing in the region. "We had never seen an organized group of these characteristics," said Jose Manuel Rancaño, president of the Association of hunting of Asturias.
Rancaño also was surprised by the fact that the group would organize raids not only illegal, through the sale of permits, but they accumulate the amount of trophies that he was seized by the Guardia Civil, some seventy pieces, some of them protected, as the grouse.
Another aspect that misses the Asturian hunters is the fact that the Civil Guard seized from some 150 parents of seals. The seals allowed to move with a piece recovered, until it produces the guide, the document certifying that the copy was shot in a certain place and it authenticates. "In Asturias, the control of seals leads the nursery. One was lost before, but now they are very controlled, "said Rancaño. In Castilla y Leon, the control of seals could be more lax, as they are issued by the game.
It is also strange presence of a mouflon among the pieces recovered, that lack of guides. In Asturias and Leon in these examples do not exist, except in a preserve of the western region. "It would be interesting to know how old are the trophies. Many hunters end up losing the guides to authenticate the piece, "said Rancaño. In any case, he added, "There is poaching in Asturias, but it is organized at all."
Two neighbors of Pola de Lena, E. P. V. and M. A. E., 54 and 49 years respectively, were arrested on Wednesday. Another six poachers were arrested in Leon.
The agents seized 70 pieces of roe deer, chamois, mouflon, macho mountain, deer, wild boar, rider, grouse and even squirrel. They were also seized 7 rifles and 14 shotguns, as well as 150 seals.

Nokia announces its intention to withdraw from the Japanese market
The world economic situation and the need to cut costs before the anticipated decline in the market are the arguments used by Nokia to justify its departure from the Japanese market for mobile phones. Only Vertu, the luxury range of signature, it will sell in Japan, where the presence of Nokia only achieved a market share of 0.3% last year.
Drafting .- Despite the overwhelming presence of Nokia in the global market for mobile telephony with a rate of 40%, the failure of its continuing attempts to make a dent in Japan have led the Finnish multinational to withdraw from this country.
So what has announced the signing recently, although his qualifying mark of luxury mobile Vertu it will present at the Japanese shop windows.
According to Reuters, the decision is part of the cost-cutting plan announced earlier by Nokia and the role played by this secondary market for the largest producer of mobile handsets in the world.
How could it be otherwise, the period of global economic recession has also played a decisive role in this decision. According to analysts, expectations of a fall in the mobile phone market is forcing all players in this segment to cut their costs.
Despite being the fourth largest in the world market for mobile phone-after United States, China and India, large foreign multinationals have always had serious difficulties for Japanese foothold in the windows.
The stiff competition posed by domestic producers with their sophisticated terminal that has made both Nokia and Samsung or LG have a very limited presence. In addition to connectivity 3G, phones equipped with signal reception of television or electronic payment systems are already in common use in Japan.

Traffic change the law to try to recover the full amount of fines
Objective: To accelerate the collection of fines and avoid the current payment of 40% of the sanctions. To undertake this task, the Government yesterday approved the draft amendments to the law on traffic, which was announced several months ago. One of the main developments in the text, which will have to go far by the parliamentary procedure is that the motorist who commits an offense will receive a single communication of the complaint, instead of three warnings, as was the case until now.
The deadlines for filing claims remain, but traffic Express aims to encourage payment, and this has set a deadline of 15 days during which the accused will have a discount of 40% of the amount of the penalty. Currently, the time required to receive prompt payment is 30 days, with a reduction of 30%. In cases where the offender pays neither this nor the claims procedure shall be terminated within a month and the sanction shall be final.
The draft also addresses the amount of fines. The mild, punishable by up to 90 euros, to spend 100; the grave, which accounted for between 91 and 300 euros, 200; and very serious, between 301 and 600 euros, 500 euros will. In addition, economic punishment may be increased up to 30% "by the existence of circumstances such as the potential danger created." In the case of excess speed, the penalty will depend on the miles on those exceeding the speed limit.
The increase in the number of complaints for which there was for and identifies the driver has been a handicap for the DGT, which now seeks to avoid the tricks used by motorists stricter punishment for the owner of the vehicle he was driving who does not communicate reliably in the moment in which the offense was committed. It is proposed in these cases the suspension of the registration certificate for one month.
The postal and publication of the allegations in the official gazettes are two major sources of expenditure for the administration. This is also wants to tackle. This "must allocate" a legal person holding a vehicle an "E-mail Vial" in which the fines will be notified. They may also have one of these addresses individuals who request it. The remaining drivers will continue to receive notices through the post office, but only once. It also created an online "bulletin board edictal of sanctions" which are issued fines of which has not been possible otherwise. Are now included in the official gazettes, which charge by inserting these warnings.

he "energy revolution 'from Greenpeace
The environmental organization develops a plan to save 14 billion euros on fuel, to halve CO2 emissions and provide renewable with half of the world's electricity by 2050.
Colpisa. Madrid
Greenpeace International and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) have pergeñado an 'Energy Revolution' to show that there are ways to change the current energy model based on fossil fuels and the atom, to make a bet renewable able to downgrade drastically CO2 emissions and thereby contribute to the fight against climate change. It only remains, said the environmental organization, the "political will".
Designed by over forty specialists, the plan calls on governments around the world with a view to the event in Poznan (Poland) of the annual UN Conference on Climate Change, as of December 1. Although the session key to defining the future 'post Kyoto' from 2012, after the expiry of the term of the Protocol, will decide within a year in Copenhagen, the summit of Poznan measured the temperature of the 'willingness' to cut international CO2 emissions responsible for global warming.
Greenpeace hopes that Poland will ratify the EU commitment to reduce by 30 percent by 2020. "The planet can not withstand the current rate of emissions," he stressed Juan Lopez de Uralde, executive director of Greenpeace. In his view, "is mareando the partridge" and wasting time "precious" to encourage debate on a "false choice" as is "nuclear energy".
The study advocates a "revolution in the way we produce, distribute and consume energy," explained Jose Luis Garcia Ortega, head of campaigns for Greenpeace energy. The key would be the progressive abandonment of the energies' dirty 'and its gradual replacement by renewable sources, combined with an energy efficiency improvement and the application of new technologies. With these goal posts would ensure that emissions of greenhouse gases no longer grow in 2015 and 2050 were reduced by half with respect to 1990 levels, the base year of the Kyoto Protocol.
Efficiency
Only by improving energy efficiency and avoid waste, in 2020 the global savings in energy consumption equivalent to current Western Europe, and in 2050 would reduce global consumption by half. The annual fuel cost savings would amount to some 14 billion euros. If in 2030 renewables accounted for 50% of the world's energy could dispense with nuclear weapons. At that rate, at the end of this century, wind energy, solar, marine, biomass and so on. completed one hundred percent of demand. According to Greenpeace, with the technology currently available, "renewables could provide nearly six times the world's energy demand."

The study advocates a "revolution in the way we produce, distribute and consume energy," explained Jose Luis Garcia Ortega, head of campaigns for Greenpeace energy. The key would be the progressive abandonment of the energies' dirty 'and its gradual replacement by renewable sources, combined with an energy efficiency improvement and the application of new technologies. With these goal posts would ensure that emissions of greenhouse gases no longer grow in 2015 and 2050 were reduced by half with respect to 1990 levels, the base year of the Kyoto Protocol.
Efficiency
Only by improving energy efficiency and avoid waste, in 2020 the global savings in energy consumption equivalent to current Western Europe, and in 2050 would reduce global consumption by half. The annual fuel cost savings would amount to some 14 billion euros. If in 2030 renewables accounted for 50% of the world's energy could dispense with nuclear weapons. At that rate, at the end of this century, wind energy, solar, marine, biomass and so on. completed one hundred percent of demand. According to Greenpeace, with the technology currently available, "renewables could provide nearly six times the world's energy demand."

Traffic change the law to try to recover the full amount of fines
Objective: To accelerate the collection of fines and avoid the current payment of 40% of the sanctions. To undertake this task, the Government yesterday approved the draft amendments to the law on traffic, which was announced several months ago. One of the main developments in the text, which will have to go far by the parliamentary procedure is that the motorist who commits an offense will receive a single communication of the complaint, instead of three warnings, as was the case until now.
The deadlines for filing claims remain, but traffic Express aims to encourage payment, and this has set a deadline of 15 days during which the accused will have a discount of 40% of the amount of the penalty. Currently, the time required to receive prompt payment is 30 days, with a reduction of 30%. In cases where the offender pays neither this nor the claims procedure shall be terminated within a month and the sanction shall be final.
The draft also addresses the amount of fines. The mild, punishable by up to 90 euros, to spend 100; the grave, which accounted for between 91 and 300 euros, 200; and very serious, between 301 and 600 euros, 500 euros will. In addition, economic punishment may be increased up to 30% "by the existence of circumstances such as the potential danger created." In the case of excess speed, the penalty will depend on the miles on those exceeding the speed limit.
The increase in the number of complaints for which there was for and identifies the driver has been a handicap for the DGT, which now seeks to avoid the tricks used by motorists stricter punishment for the owner of the vehicle he was driving who does not communicate reliably in the moment in which the offense was committed. It is proposed in these cases the suspension of the registration certificate for one month.
The postal and publication of the allegations in the official gazettes are two major sources of expenditure for the administration. This is also wants to tackle. This "must allocate" a legal person holding a vehicle an "E-mail Vial" in which the fines will be notified. They may also have one of these addresses individuals who request it. The remaining drivers will continue to receive notices through the post office, but only once. It also created an online "bulletin board edictal of sanctions" which are issued fines of which has not been possible otherwise. Are now included in the official gazettes, which charge by inserting these warnings.

Videogames upward
Only 6% of the top selling games are violent
The Association of Retailers and editors of Entertainment Software (ADES) has granted for the seventh consecutive year the awards to reward the best-selling video games of 2007. The ill winds of crisis does not seem to affect an industry whose sales reached a value of 1454 billion euros. The way the game is that, in the past year, 33% more titles have reached the number of units sold to qualify for these industry awards. In total, 72 games have been rewarded for ADES thanks to its sales in 2007. Six of them have received the Award of Double Platinum, to overcome the 160,000 copies sold, 23 others have won the Disc Platinum (over 80,000 copies) and, finally, 43 more have achieved the Gold, with over 40,000 units in the market.
The prizes are different for each format, and given the fact that a game can be achieved several awards. This is the case of 'Fifa 08'. This simulator football has been the undisputed best of 2007, with double-disc platinum and platinum on PS2 in the PS3 and Playstation Portable. After football, games and social action headed the list of blockbusters. The two titles in the saga of karaoke SingStar (and Latin Pop Hits) have reached double-platinum awards each, along with action games such as wrestling franchise of American WWF Smackdown Vs Raw 'or the spectacular Assasins Creed. Other sagas such as Call of Duty 4 have achieved triple gold in various platforms.
For platforms, consoles will be strengthened as the leaders of the PC sales compared with nearly 82% of the video game winners. Contrary to what might be thinking, the more violent video games are not the best sellers. Just 6% of the games winners have been classified as' only for adults over 18 years' and children's franchises such as "Imagine being ', Ubisoft, has achieved all its games to reach gold, platinum or double platinum in the case Imagine being the mom.
Piracy does not seem to affect the sector with so much force as is believed, and for the first time in the history of these awards, the awards were handed ADES under the II International Forum on Digital Contents (FICOD) organized by the Ministry of Industry , Tourism and Trade.
This edition of the awards for the video game industry confirms a trend increasingly visible: the momentum gained by the titles of musical themes as Guitar Hero III, High School Musical or SingStar Pop Hits and SingStar Latino, the last two title winners with Double Platinum. The consoles are increasingly appliances designed for the enjoyment group and the music is an irresistible attraction for many casual players. Konami, and it showed in his days with the saga of games Dance Dance Dance Revolution and Sony continued to the wire with its SingStar karaoke.
The trendy music does not stop there, Xbox just to market an advanced karaoke called Lips, in which the wisdom of the user at the time of singing following the rhythm should be combined or dancing, thanks to its motion-sensitive microphones. Nintendo, meanwhile, is preparing for the launch of Wii Music, a simulator in which the chameleon command of the Wii turns into dozens of different musical instruments. Guitar Hero is already a classic and has now been remastered edition with the On Tour, which adds drums and vocals ala guitar.

A whale back to sea after being caught in a web
. A whale of the species' Yubarta 'and seven meters in length came to the beach last night Doñana, close to Torre Carboneras, after enmallada to stay in a fishing net. There he stayed until about three in the afternoon when the intense work of a dozen troops were able to return to the sea.
The animal remained nearly eight hours at the beach and to prevent drowned was created around him a kind of pool (for which it took two excavators), in which troops of the Donana Biological Station, as well as the Enterprise Environmental Management (Egmasa) and the Guardia Civil managed to keep hydrated. He had to wait for the tide to rise again to their own inertia and the thrust of the troops returned freedom to the whale in its own habitat.
The director of the Natural area of Donana, Juan Carlos Rubio, who followed closely the rescue efforts, he hoped that there would have been lucky and the whale does not have internal injuries, since it is an animal "immature", despite the fact that stressed that at any moment put his hand, "finned to work and go to sea. It was totally aware that he was helping," he said.
The technicians were surprised with the arrival of the 'Yubarta'. First because it is an animal that normally travel in groups, and secondly, because it is a species that is unusual, but peculiar. In fact, is the first of which is a record that has stranded on the beach in Atlantic Doñana in the past three years, since I did a copy of Roncal in 2005.
Although it has not been able to define the age of the animal could not exceed two years, as it is at this age when they often reach 9 feet long.
The 'Yubart'a or humpback is a protected species since 1967 and it is estimated that today there are fewer than 10,000 copies that can reach a length of up to 17 meters.

The terrorist target was to emulate a 11-S with 5,000 dead in Bombay
The elite forces managed to stop, after almost 60 hours of fighting, the terrorist offensive, which left nearly 200 dead in Mumbai and that, according to official sources, was aimed at provoking a 11-S in the financial heart of India with more than 5,000 victims.
At a news conference, Interior Minister of the state of Maharastra (whose capital is Bombay), R. R. Patil said that the Islamist command intended to cause a slaughter. "We found much weaponry in its possession which it is clear that they had plans to kill 5,000 people," he said. "There were ten terrorists in total. Nine were killed and one was captured alive. They have received instructions from outside via mobile phones via satellite, "said Patil, who made no reference to those who could escape.
"You know from which country," ironically, although Pakistan has vigorously denied the involvement of any of their estates in the attacks.
The military prevented the terrorists from reaching complete their mission, which was flying with explosives the luxurious and historic Taj Mahal Hotel and eliminate the symbols of western capitalism, as has confessed the only one of the attackers captured alive, Amir Azam Kasav, which reflects the daily Times Of India. The Islamists were inspired by the attack on the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, which left half hundred dead last September.
Drawings
To carry out his plan, eight of the Islamists were infiltrated in Bombay a month ago posing as students in Malaysia, according to sources from military intelligence. At that time compiled detailed drawings of the Taj Mahal, during the shooting terrorists pulled by a hidden door that Indian troops did not know, according to the Hindustan Times. Some local channels ensures that even terrorists were already staying at the hotel.
In this first group, composed of young people between 20 and 30 years, joined the night of the attack, on Wednesday, a second group that arrived by sea.
The latest shootings and explosions took place yesterday at the luxury hotel where the Indian commandos killed three Islamists entrenched, recorded more than 300 rooms of the compound all day and detonated arms and grenades. "We said that there were three terrorists ... and we have three dead, "announced the head of the National Security Guard of India, J. K. Dutt, who also noted that the fighting lasted nearly five hours and there was low among his men. An official source said the Indian forces found two powerful bombs inside the hotel.
The Indian commandos rescued 610 people from the Oberoi and Taj hotels, and the Jewish center Nariman House. Although both hotels have serious damage, especially the east wing and the dome of the Taj, whose reconstruction will cost about $ 100 million, the scenario is more devastated the Jewish center.
Number of deaths
The Indian government reported that among those killed in the coordinated series of terrorist attacks there are 22 foreigners and 20 members of the security forces, including two elite commandos. However, the municipal authorities in Mumbai rose to 195 the number of fatalities, including 23 foreigners, but warned that this is tentative.
The dead included eight Israelis, five Americans, two French, two Australians, one British, one Japanese, one German, two Canadians, one Italian, one Thai, a citizen of Singapore and Mauritius.
