Un alumno portaba marihuana para armar 200 "porros"
La directora del establecimiento, Elena Frías, explicó que el chico cursa en quinto grado de primaria y que fueron sus compañeros quienes avisaron que había un paquete extraño en la mochila del menor.
"El jueves había desaparecido el celular de un docente. Entonces les dijimos a los chicos que revisaran todos los rincones de la escuela", dijo hoy Frías en declaraciones
radiales.
La docente explicó que alumnos de quinto grado comentaron de un paquete sospechoso en la mochila del chico y que éste, cuando fue interrogado, se puso a llorar.
"Llamamos de inmediato a sus padres y a las autoridades policiales, que verificaron que se trataba de droga", señaló la docente."¡Está hablando de faso!"
La cantidad de marihuana encontrada alcanza para armar 200 porros, dijeron fuentes policiales a Noticias Argentinas.
La policía puso en conocimiento del hecho a juez de menores en turno, quien dispuso que el menor quedara bajo custodia de sus padres, mientras la droga fue derivada al Juzgado Federal Número 1 de la ciudad de Mendoza.
"Es la primera vez que ocurre algo así. Vamos a seguir trabajando con los chicos, como lo venimos haciendo, para crear conciencia sobre los efectos nocivos de la droga", declaró por radio la directora Frías.
"A los papás de la comunidad escolar les preocupa cómo queda la escuela porque se va a pensar que acá se consume droga y no es así", agregó la mujer que dirige el establecimiento al que asisten 670 alumnos, en Pedro Molina, Guaymallén, a minutos del microcentro de Mendoza.
La mujer describió a la escuela como de buen rendimiento y mencionó que en los últimos tres años ganó el certamen departamental de la feria de ciencias.
Ahora, la dirección de Investigaciones de la Policía de Mendoza trata de determinar el origen de la droga y por qué estaba en la mochila del chico de 13 años, dentro
de la escuela.Faso de cumpleaños que me regaló Nacho por
MSN
Tras conocerse el caso, la Dirección Provincial de Niñez, Adolescencia, Ancianidad, Discapacidad y Familia llamó a discutir "la responsabilidad de los adultos en el tema y a no criminalizar al joven".
El titular del organismo, Gabriel Conte, dijo que "es muy sencillo cargar las culpas sobre un chico de 13 años sin mirar a su alrededor, a los adultos que lo rodean, quienes seguramente tienen mucho que decir al respecto".
Enfatizó que "un joven no es una cosa que se compra hecha y terminada, es una persona formada por los valores positivos o negativos de los adultos que lo criaron y que ha asimilado de la mejor manera posible las enseñanzas recibidas de parte de quiénes si tenemos responsabilidad plena ante la ley, como somos los adultos".

Squirrels briefly kill power in 2 cities
Tue Nov 20, 6:30 AM ETASHLAND, Wis. - It was an unlucky day for two squirrels and hundreds of Midwestern power customers. Brian Elwood, a spokesman for Xcel Energy, said a squirrel came in contact with an overhead transformer and knocked out service to 177 customers Monday. Power was fully restored in just under an hour, and repair crews found the remains of the "unfortunate squirrel," he said.
By coincidence, another squirrel got into a substation 40 miles away in Ironwood, Mich., Monday morning and caused a temporary outage that affected about 1,400 customers in Ironwood and two nearby communities, Elwood said.Ardillas entrenando
The utility takes many preventive steps to keep the curious animals away from lines, he said, but they are one of the leading causes of outages, trailing only severe weather. "We kind of liken it to anyone who's had a bird feeder and tried to keep the squirrels out," he said. "They find a way."
Rodney Johnson was stuck on an elevator at the city's Enterprise Center, where he works, when the power went out. "For a couple of minutes there, I wasn't sure if I'd make it to Thanksgiving," said Johnson, who said he is somewhat claustrophobic. "They kept talking to me while they were trying to open it up, though, so that helped."
Once a firefighter opened the door, Johnson wasted no time in getting out. "I'm surprised I didn't knock him down," he said.

Cuestion de copas
Generoso Copeland: Con una cerveza, Cristina zafa, pero para Bachelet hacen falta 4
Las declaraciones del baterista de The Police, Stewart Copeland, para la revista Wikén, del diario El Mercurio, generaron la reacción indignada del gobierno chileno, que calificó al músico de machista. Copeland comparó a Cristina Fernández con Bachelet y Hillary Clinton y, a su criterio, la argentina está buena para una cerveza, mientras que las otras dos...
CIUDAD DE BUENOS AIRES (Urgente24) - El Gobierno chileno reaccionó el lunes con indignación a una broma del baterista del grupo The Police, Stewart Copeland, sobre la presidenta Michelle Bachelet, a pocas semanas de que la banda ofrezca un concierto en el país.En una entrevista al grupo publicada por una revista del diario El Mercurio, el baterista comparó a Bachelet con la recientemente electa mandataria argentina, Cristina Fernández, en términos que no gustaron al Gobierno.
Porque vale la pena poner esta imagen en el blog también.
"Mira, la futura presidenta de Argentina estaría buena para una cerveza; la tuya, para cuatro, y Hillary Clinton, ya estaría para una botella de tequila", contestó el batería ante una pregunta de una periodista chilena que lo entrevistó en Gales(Gran Bretaña).
"Eso, es machismo", dijo la ministro del Servicio Nacional de la Mujer (Sernam) de Chile, Laura Albornoz, y arremetió contra El Mercurio, que se hizo eco en primera plana de las expresiones del músico.
"De esto, hablamos cuando hablamos del machismo que está presente en los medios de comunicación, en la prensa escrita, está presente cuando hablamos, cuando nos relacionamos. Esto nos avergüenza", dijo Albornoz. "Yo me hago cargo de representar a la opinión pública cuando el machismo que está presente en nuestra cultura se manifiesta de una forma tan aberrante como ésta", indicó la ministra.
Añadió que le parece "desastroso" el titular del diario, la persona que lo dijo, e
incorrecto que se haga este tipo de alusiones respecto de un Jefe de Estado. El grupo The Police, que también integran Sting y Andy Summers, se encuentra de gira por el mundo y realizará un único concierto en Santiago el próximo 5 de diciembre.

When monkeys attack
How To Fight MonkeysWhat should you do if you're surrounded by angry
macaques?By Michelle TsaiThe deputy mayor of New Delhi, India, fell off his balcony and
died Sunday after being attacked by monkeys, his family members say. The city has around 10,000 monkeys, some of which have taken to roaming through government buildings as they steal food and rip apart documents. What should you do if monkeys are picking on you?
It's like Mom said about muggers: Just give 'em what they want. When monkeys get aggressive, it's usually because they think you have something to eat. According to one study, about three-quarters of all the aggressive interactions between long-tailed macaques and tourists at Bali's Padangtegal Monkey Forest involved food. If you are holding a snack, throw it in their direction, and they'll stop bothering you. If you don't have any food, hold out your open palms to show you're not carrying a tasty treat or back away from the monkeys without showing fear. To diffuse the situation, don't make eye contact or smile with your teeth showing—in the nonhuman primate world, these are almost always signs of aggression.Conozca al enemigo
Monkey attacks are extremely rare in the wild; the creatures tend to be scared of us and often scamper away when a person gets within 100 feet. As monkeys lose their habitats around the world, though, they've started to live in closer proximity to humans, and that causes conflict. Aggressive city monkeys will give you lots of warnings before an actual fight breaks out. First, the animals will look at you in the eyes, open their mouths, and bare their teeth. Rhesus macaques, the aggressive monkeys that cause a lot of the trouble in Delhi, will then warn you with a grunt. Next, they might fake a lunge toward you; this often causes a victim to lose his balance. If you're still withholding food, they'll grab at your knees and legs, and put their mouths on you so that you can feel their teeth. Finally, if you still won't cooperate, they'll sink their canines into you.The study in Bali found that most macaque bites don't break the skin, but a wound could allow transmission of herpes B, which can be fatal to humans. Baboons, which sometimes attack humans in Africa, are much more dangerous: They're bigger and less predictable, and they're armed with 3-inch-long canines. Last year, a South African man's forearms were ripped to the bone, and doctors dug out a baboon tooth during surgery.![]()
Intentar apaciguarlos con favores sexuales, si
bien suena agradable, implica grandes riesgos.
What if you can't or won't appease the monkeys with food? You can try to chase them off by shaking a stick at them, but they might get violent if cornered. If they don't budge, bop 'em on the head; visitors to temples in India sometimes carry a stick for just this reason. Primatologists will sometimes send a macaque warning signal called the open-mouth threat. Basically, form an "O" with your mouth, lean toward them with your body and head, and raise your eyebrows. Female victims might seek protection in a group of men, since monkeys are somewhat afraid of males. But whatever you do, don't freak out; those who scream, wave their arms, and run away are only going to make the macaques even more aggressive.
Despite all the monkey business, Delhi has refused to cull the macaques, which are sacred because of the Hindu reverence for Hanuman, the monkey god. Instead, the government has relocated some of the troublemakers and even brought in langurs, a mellower but larger monkey, to scare off the smaller macaques.

Indian official dies escaping monkeys
October 21, 2007 - 7:54PMA senior official of Indian capital Delhi died after he suffered severe head injuries while trying to escape from a group of aggressive monkeys, officials said.
Delhi deputy mayor SS Bajwa, 52, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was reading a newspaper on his terrace on Friday when he was attacked by the monkeys, party official Harsh Vardhan said. Bajwa fell from the terrace while trying to escape his attackers.
The deputy mayor was admitted to the intensive care unit of a Delhi hospital in critical condition and died, the official said.
The man-monkey conflict has been a long-standing problem in the Indian capital, with the civic authorities failing
to control the simians. The monkey population has grown as they move into the city to try and survive through foraging, because development of suburbs is destroying their natural habitat.![]()
It's a mad house. A mad house!
Monkeys can be seen moving freely in some residential localities and are a common sight near the Defence Ministry building in central Delhi. The simians are treated as descendents of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman and are often fed by devotees at Hindu temples. Bajwa's house was located near a temple, the Times of India newspaper reported.
Delhi's high court has delivered several strictures to the civic authorities asking them to curb the "monkey menace", but catching and relocating the animals has proven difficult. There are very few forests left around Delhi's expanding urban perimeter and neighbouring states have been reluctant to accept the animals.
The Delhi government recently hired two monkey catchers from the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Animal rights' activists allege the monkeys that are caught are housed in poor conditions in large cages on the outskirts of the city.
