Siete muertos en un choque de dos trenes y un bus en Buenos Aires

Al menos siete personas han muerto y otras 162 han resultado heridas este martes por el choque de dos trenes y un autob?s en un barrio del oeste de Buenos Aires, a causa de una supuesta imprudencia por parte de uno de los conductores, seg?n han confirmado fuentes oficiales a medios locales.

El accidente ocurri? alrededor de las 6.00 horas (11.00 horas en Espa?a) en el barrio de Flores cuando un tren colision? con un autob?s y, tras arrastrarlo varios metros, alcanz? a otro ferrocarril que iba en la v?a contraria y que finalmente termin? incrustado en uno de los andenes, ha informado la empresa Trenes de Buenos Aires (TBA).

De acuerdo al ?ltimo balance, siete personas han fallecido y al menos otras 162 han resultado heridas, de las cuales una veintena estar?an en estado grave.

Funcionarios de los servicios de emergencia hab?an logrado retirar todos los cuerpos de las v?ctimas un par de horas despu?s de la tragedia. Uno de los ?ltimos fue el maquinista, que permaneci? m?s de una hora atrapado con vida entre varios hierros. El secretario de Transporte de Buenos Aires, Juan Pablo Schiavi, ha revelado que entre los fallecidos se encuentra el conductor del autob?s.

M?s de 50 ambulancias y diez equipos de bomberos se dirigieron al lugar del accidente para rescatar a los supervivientes, ha explicado por su parte el portavoz de la Polic?a Federal, Fernando Sostre. Los heridos fueron trasladados a varios hospitales cercanos.

IMPRUDENCIA

La TBA no descarta que el accidente haya sido producto de la imprudencia del conductor del autob?s, que no se detuvo a pesar de la se?al de alto que se activ? cuando iba a pasar uno de los trenes, ha comentado el portavoz de la empresa, Gustavo Gago.

El sistema de se?alizaci?n "funciona correctamente" y "todo indicar?a" que el autob?s "cruz? con las barreras bajas", ha destacado Gago, citado por el diario 'Clar?n'. "Se tratar?a de una actitud temeraria e imprudente", ha agregado.

Algunas versiones apuntan a que "en el paso a nivel estaba un supervisor de la l?nea 92 que levant? en forma manual el brazo de la barrera para que el colectivo (autob?s) la pudiera trasponer", ha resaltado.

Correction: Texas Heat-Records (AP)

DALLAS ? In stories on Sept. 13-14 about heat records in Texas cities, The Associated Press, relying on information from the National Weather Service, reported erroneously that Wichita Falls was the first Texas city to have 100 days of triple-digit temperatures in the same year. Laredo has had 115 days of 100-degree temperatures in 2011 and previously surpassed 100 days in 1998 and 1989.

Oliver Stone's son defends Iran's right to nuclear arms (Reuters)

TORONTO (TheWrap.com) ? Sean Stone, son of Oliver, seems like a chip off the old block.

Fresh off the plane from Tehran, the famous filmmaker's son defended Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview this weekend and supported Iran's right to a nuclear program as a defense against threats from Israel.

The 26-year-old documentary filmmaker met exclusively with TheWrap at the Toronto Film Festival, offering some unconventional views.

Criticizing the Iranian government is "like someone coming to your house and saying the father shouldn't hit the kids," he said. "Who are we to tell them how to rule their country?"

"Iran is ruled by law," he said. "People don't like Ahmadinejad, but that doesn't warrant a war or an uprising."

Sean's father, Oliver Stone, has often been a controversial political iconoclast, befriending Cuban leader Fidel Castro and anti-American Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

Stone spent a week on Tehran launching a new co-production company to make movies based in Iranian history and culture.

Meanwhile, in Tehran on Sunday, Ahmadinejad gave a speech marking the anniversary of 9/11 by repeating the conspiracy theory that the attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. as a pretext for war.

But Stone said that Ahmadinejad has often been misunderstood.

"He did come to America to extend a hand. And there's a lot of mistranslation, literally. I've seen it. Ahmadinejad will say something and it will be mistranslated," he said. "A lot of this is bulls**t, mistranslation. It's an aggressive attitude on both parts, mostly on the American side."

Stone, who studied history at Princeton, said that Iran should certainly have the right to a nuclear program.

"Israel has nuclear weapons, Iran has the right to them," he said. "Every nation has the right to self-determination for defense."

Stone said he wants to make films in Iran, "because they're the biggest filmmakers in the Middle East. I'm very international-minded." The opportunity arose through some personal connections.

Stone did not comment on the fact that Iran arrested filmmaker Jafar Panahi in the wake of the "Green Movement" street protests of 2009 and has banned him from making films because he has criticized the regime.

Stone was at the film festival to launch a new online company, FilmFunds, of which he is the CEO. A spokesman for the company said Stone's political views were personal and did not represent FilmFunds.

One Iranian filmmaker also at the festival expressed dismay when he heard of Stone's views.

"This is insulting," said Mazdak Taebi, who has been banned from traveling back to Iran because of his anti-regime statements. "So many people have died. People there are shaking. They're scared. It's a police system."

Another Iranian filmmaker at the festival, who still lives in Tehran, declined to comment.

When driving around Tehran, Stone said he saw graffiti that read, "Death to America," but said it was not meant literally.

"Because it's emotional," he said. "It doesn't have the meaning you think it does. It's not political expression."

"You can engage in dialogue with that country. Time evolves everything. Time will bring revolution. Iran will change," he added. "But never by military force or being pushed."

He swatted aside the idea that Americans might find his choice to work in Iran disloyal.

"I could care less if they think that. That's stupid. There should be cultural dialogue with every country," he said.

Societe Generale seeks to reassure on Greek debts (AP)

PARIS ? Societe Generale sought to calm investor fears over its exposure to Greek debt by releasing figures Monday detailing its exposure to the country and announcing plans to raise money quicker than planned.

French banks have been at the center of the European crisis because they hold a significant amount of debt from Greece and other struggling countries and there are fears that a default on that debt could drag the banks down, too.

Those concerns have only increased in recent days as Greece has struggled to convince its international creditors that it's cutting costs sufficiently. Some European officials have even begun to suggest that an orderly Greek bankruptcy may be the best solution. That, in turn, has raised the pressure on the banks.

Societe Generale shares were no exception, and plunged 10.8 percent Monday, even though its chief executive insisted that its exposure to risky debt was euro4.3 billion (euro5.8 billion) and negligible compared to the size of its holdings.

"The size of our exposure is small, declining, and completely manageable," CEO Frederic Oudea told reporters Monday.

Oudea noted that the bank has set aside enough money to cover losses if it has to write down Greek holdings by 35 percent. He said that even a writedown of 50 percent wouldn't be significant when compared to the size of the bank.

Concerns over the exposure of Europe's banks to Greek debt have made it hard for them to get the short-term loans they use to fund day-to-day operations. As a result, many have been forced to turn to the European Central Bank for their liquidity needs.

The European banks have also been accused of lacking enough money in reserve to weather significant losses.

The ratings agency Moody's warned earlier in the summer that it could downgrade French banks, including Societe Generale and cross-town rival BNP Paribas, because of these problems. BNP Paribas' shared also plummeted on Monday, closing down by 12.35 percent.

Oudea brushed off the possibility of a downgrade, saying it wouldn't affect "the company's perspective."

But he did seek to calm more general fears about the bank's health. In a statement, the bank said it has accelerated a plan to sell assets and build up capital and free up euro4 billion ($5.4 billion) in capital by 2013.

Oudea said many of those asset sales would be in areas that are out of sync with the company's overall business plan.

In an effort to show investors that Societe Generale was not hard up for dollars, Oudea noted that it had increased the amount of cash it keeps on hand at the U.S. Federal Reserve ? from $26 billion to $34 billion ? over the course of the summer.

He added that the company was reducing its need for dollars by getting rid of assets valued in dollars.

Oudea repeatedly told reporters that Societe Generale was on solid ground and that he thought all French banks were. He said that there were no conversations under way about government intervention in the banks.

Rumors a few weeks ago that European banks were struggling caused their share prices to plummet. In response, several European countries, including France, banned short-selling ? a bet that a stock will go down. Oudea said he was trying to avoid another flight from banking shares with his remarks Monday.

As he spoke, shares climbed off their lows from earlier in the day, but the stock was still down more than 10 percent.

Christian Noyer, the governor of the Banque de France, echoed Oudea's confidence in French banks.

"No matter what the Greek scenario and the provisions required, French banks have the means to face up to it," he said in a statement Monday. "The French banks have no liquidity or solvency problems."

Make Your Bathroom Senior-friendly

Bathrooms are statistically the most likely room in the home where a senior will have an accident or injury, particularly a fall. Many of these falls are attributed to using the bath or shower, others to the toilet. Improving safety in this room will give everyone more peace of mind and help seniors maintain independence.

Start with simple and inexpensive changes that are instant safety improvements.
? Install brighter light bulbs (if the fixtures are rated for higher wattage bulbs) and add an inexpensive night light.
? Floors must? be kept clear of tripping hazards and shelves and counters cleared of all but absolutely necessary items to reduce the chance of dropped items which causes people to bend to pick them up? and risk falling.
? Frequently used items including first aid products should be easy to retrieve without extra reaching and bending.
? Many cordless phones have an independent? handset that could be mounted on an accessible bathroom wall.

Add Grab Bars

There are a large variety of hand hold bars and non slip products that are easy to use and? sure to reduce the possibility of injuries. Products such as permanently mounted grab bars and hand holds require secure mounting/installation to walls in the proper location for maximum benefit but this is a relatively simple home improvement project for a do it yourselfer. If the bath or shower enclosure can accommodate it,? a simpler choice might be to select two or three high quality suction mounted handles that will adhere to very smooth wall and tub surfaces (pay very close attention to mounting instructions).?? Try searching using the keywords ?suction grab bar?? or visit a local home improvement center, hardware store or even large pharmacy for any of these products. Adding a non slip bath mat or adhesive non slip strips in the tub or shower? (available in most department stores or large pharmacies) are quick and inexpensive ways to reduce possible slipping without dramatically altering the appearance of the bath.

Getting into, out of and using a bathtub/shower enclosure is much safer for many people if they use a transfer bench and handheld shower.? Using a bench greatly reduces the unsteadiness and tripping potential of stepping over the tub edge and encourages a seated position during bathing which reduces the chance of slipping.? To use a transfer bench, a person sits on the end of the bench outside the tub, slides themselves over the tub edge? and into the bathtub/shower enclosure, all the while remaining seated.?? Here is a very good example of a transfer bench that is height adjustable and supports up to 300 lbs.

Try an Elevated Toilet Seat

To improve safety when using the toilet, add an easy to install elevated toilet seat (adds as little as? 2-3 inches to the height of the toilet seat) that reduces the strain and possible balance issues when sitting or standing.

Get studio quality sound with the ... - Pocket Change Shopping Blog

Buying top notch headphones is quite a task these days for those of you who are not quite aware of the brands that make them. Most high end headphone manufacturers hardly market their product and only audiophiles would probably know about them. Among the high end headphones available the AKG K 701 would probably be on everyone?s list.

The first thing you would notice about the AKG K 701 would be the excellent craftsmanship. The build quality is just perfect and the moment you pick it up it would give you that premium feel. The AKG 701?s are open back headphones and they are as comfortable as having pillows on either ear. They are perfect if you plan to listen to music for hours together. The 701?s cables are detachable and they come with a spare one which is pretty good considering that cables wear out surprisingly fast for heavy users. Over all the build quality and the design is what you would expect from a high end headphone. And what?s more, they come in white as well and the AKG K 701 white headphones look pretty good as well.

Now the claim to fame for the AKG K 701 happens to be its amazing sound quality and boy it doesn?t disappoint. You can play any music you feel like and it would just sound good on these headphones. The only drawback you would find with the sound would be its inability to perform when heavy bass is involved. Deep bass doesn?t turn out crisp compared to some of the high end Sennheiser headphones. Now it isn?t that the bass reproduction is not clear and awful, but if you are the kind of person who listens to tracks which involve deep bass like a few dance tracks then you should probably stay away from these headphones.

In conclusion these are a really fine pair of headphones. They represent the best value for money high end headphones you will find.

White House sharply cuts growth forecast (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? President Barack Obama sharply cut estimates on Thursday for U.S. economic growth, underscoring the difficult challenge he faces in spurring a stronger recovery and creating more jobs.

In a midyear review of his annual budget, Obama predicted average unemployment of 9 percent in 2012, when he will have to fight for re-election. The president will give a major speech on September 8 on how he plans to lift hiring and growth.

"The economic projections make clear there is a real need in the short term to kick-start economic growth and get on a sustained higher growth path," White House budget chief Jack Lew told reporters on a conference call.

Obama must convince voters his policies are working in order to retain the White House, but doubts have grown over his stewardship of the economy after a summer of wild stock market swings and a raft of bad economic data that underlined the risk of the country plunging back into recession.

A new CNN/ORD poll found 65 percent of respondents disapproved of his handling of the economy, reflecting the harm done by a bitter budget fight between Obama, a Democrat, and Republican lawmakers that led to ratings agency Standard & Poor's cutting America's top-notch AAA credit rating.

"He needs to frame the election so it is focused on the future and not focused on the present," said Jim Kessler, a political analyst at Third Way, a think tank in Washington, who doubts Obama has much power to give growth a pre-2012 boost.

In the midyear review, the White House offered some hints of what Obama will say in his address to Congress next week. It said the speech could include proposals for a mixture of tax cuts aimed at middle-class families, infrastructure spending and aid for the long-term unemployed.

NO DOUBLE DIP RECESSION

Economic growth was marked down compared with what the White House had forecast in February, with conditions deteriorating even further after the administration locked down its predictions in June for the midsession review.

As a result, it offered an alternative economic forecast based on what has happened in recent weeks. That projects GDP growth this year of 1.7 percent, compared with 2.7 percent expected back in February, with 2.6 percent forecast for 2012, down from a 3.6 percent prediction in February.

But the more subdued growth outlook did not have a major impact on the expected deficits, and growth was expected to rebound to above 4 percent by 2015.

For the budget outlook, the White House said the deficit would now decline to 6.1 percent of GDP in 2012 from a projected 8.8 percent this year.

But critics were skeptical and said the longterm projections were unduly rosy.

"The president has the deficit falling from $1.3 trillion this year to $473 billion in 2014. Should we really believe that? That seems a very optimistic assumption," said Chris Edwards at the Cato Institute in Washington.

The improvement over February's forecast was due largely to spending cuts imposed under a deal struck last month by Obama and Republicans to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, which will shave $1.45 trillion from the deficit over the next 10 years.

In the latest reading from the economy, U.S. manufacturing grew unexpectedly in August and fewer Americans filed new claims for jobless aid last week.

The new economic data on Thursday was the latest in a series to suggest the economy remained on a slow-growth path and offered hope it would dodge a recession.

The White House review predicted unemployment to average 9.1 percent this year and 9.0 percent in 2012. The jobless rate was 9.1 percent last month and is expected to show no change when the August employment report is released on Friday.

"Despite recent setbacks, the Administration expects the economy to grow at increasing rates in the months and years to come," the White House said. "The potential for a sharp recovery is present," it added, noting abundant capacity in the economy to increase output, including high unemployment.

Congress must find at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction measures over the next 10 years. If it fails to act before late December, mandatory spending cuts of $1.2 trillion will be imposed equally on defense and non-defense spending, kicking in from 2013 and running through 2021.

Maruti posts third consecutive drop in monthly sales (Reuters)

TOKYO/SEOUL (Reuters) ? New vehicle sales in Japan plunged by more than a fifth in August as production remained disrupted from the March earthquake, while South Korean brands kept growing thanks to solid gains overseas.

Excluding 660cc minivehicles, sales in Japan dropped 25.5 percent to 216,510 vehicles, marking the 12th consecutive month of declines and the second-biggest fall on record for August, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said on Thursday.

The sharp decline came from difficult comparisons from a year earlier, when consumers rushed to replace old cars and take advantage of government subsidies before they expired last September. Compared with August sales from 2009, sales grew 9.5 percent, an official said.

"It was the first time since the (March 11) disasters that sales grew from 2009 levels, so there's a silver lining," said Michiro Saito, general manager at the association. "Automakers are planning to ramp up production from now on to make up for the losses, so we'll see how that helps."

Sales at top-ranked Toyota Motor Corp, which started make-up production on Thursday, fell 22.7 percent. Nissan Motor Co's sales, excluding minivehicles, dropped 24.7 percent.

Honda Motor Co, the slowest to recover from the supply disruptions, suffered the biggest decline, of 49 percent.

MARUTI SUFFERS

In India, top carmaker Maruti Suzuki posted its third consecutive drop in monthly sales as high interest rates and rising vehicle prices deterred customers. Maruti's sales fell 12.7 percent in August after a record 25 percent drop in July.

An ongoing labour dispute at its Manesar plant also hit sales for the month, Maruti said in a statement.

Earlier this week, Maruti halted production at its plant in the northern Haryana state after it dismissed some workers and asked all others to sign a "good conduct bond." The plant, which produces about 1,200 cars a day, did not make any cars on Monday and Tuesday and made just 60 cars on Wednesday.

Maruti, 54.2 percent owned by Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp, expects to post single-digit sales growth this fiscal year, a far cry from the 25 percent rise last year.

Total car sales in India fell almost 16 percent in July, marking the first drop in two-and-half years, as borrowing costs rose following multiple rate hikes by the central bank.

HYUNDAI, KIA STRETCH WINNING STREAK

South Korea's Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors stretched their current winning streak with Hyundai's global sales climbing 5 percent, driven by strong shipments from its overseas plants in China, India and the United States.

Affiliate Kia saw its global sales jump 27 percent, although domestic sales slipped.

Analysts said however, the Koreans may struggle to maintain the momentum in the face of an uncertain global economy and rising price competition from Japanese rivals.

Toyota last week unveiled its all-new Camry in the United States, aiming to recover lost momentum with price cuts and a high-powered ad campaign for America's best-selling car.

"The market expected solid sales for Hyundai and Kia for August. What's important are their sales in the coming months," said Park In-woo, an analyst at LIG Investment & Securities.

"Hyundai and Kia have comfortably increased market shares and profits, but competition will be tougher next year with new model launches (by Japanese rivals)," he said.

Analysts are watching for U.S. sales data due later on Thursday to gauge their resistance to rising competition.

Security on rise nationwide for 9/11 anniversary

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The federal government is escalating security around the country in preparation for the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and conducting confidential briefings with state and local law enforcement organizations. But officials say there is no specific indication that a terror plot against the U.S. is under way.

Americans can expect more security at airports, mass transit stations, U.S. borders, government buildings and major athletic events over the next month, said an intelligence official who spoke anonymously to discuss sensitive security matters.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department have been briefing state and local law enforcement agencies on potential terror threats to the U.S. and ways to increase security in their communities. The briefings are routine, and security has been enhanced for other major events in the past decade. But the significance of the 10-year anniversary of the worst terror attacks on U.S. soil is not lost on security officials, who fear that someone with terrorist sympathies might see 9/11 as an opportunity to make a statement.

"It's been a long buildup as we approach the anniversary of 9/11," said Sean Duggan, assistant chief at the Scottsdale, Ariz., Police Department. Duggan said his department gets daily updates from the FBI and Homeland Security Department. But over the past two months, the focus has been on the 10th anniversary of the terror hijackings.

"We know this is a significant date," Duggan said. "Other than taking physical precautions, we have not been briefed on any specific threat other than the obvious ? knowing what this date means in our history."

Events are planned around the country to commemorate the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 2001 attacks.

"While there is currently no specific or credible threat, appropriate and prudent security measures are ready to detect and prevent plots against the United States should they emerge," Homeland Security Department spokesman Matt Chandler said.

President Barack Obama said earlier this month that the threat of a plot by a lone terrorist is particularly troublesome.

"The risk that we're especially concerned over right now is the lone-wolf terrorist, somebody with a single weapon being able to carry out wide-scale massacres of the sort that we saw in Norway recently," Obama said.

In July, 69 people at a youth camp in Norway were shot to death. Authorities said a white supremacist carried out the attack with the purpose of saving Norway and the rest of Europe from Muslims and multiculturalism.

"You know, when you've got one person who is deranged or driven by a hateful ideology, they can do a lot of damage, and it's a lot harder to trace those lone-wolf operators," Obama said.

Some of the first information gleaned from Osama bin Laden's compound after he was killed in May indicated that, as recently as February 2010, al-Qaida considered plans to attack the U.S. on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. But counterterrorism officials said they believe the planning never got beyond the initial phase and had no recent intelligence pointing to an active plot.

One idea outlined in handwritten notes pulled from bin Laden's Pakistani hideout was to tamper with an unspecified U.S. rail track so that a train would fall off the track at a valley or a bridge, according to a joint FBI and Homeland Security Department bulletin to law enforcement officials around the country. The al-Qaida planners noted that if they attacked a train by tilting it, the plan would only succeed once because the tilting would be spotted the next time.

Even before the raid, intelligence officials for years have warned that al-Qaida is interested in attacking major U.S. cities on holidays, anniversaries ? including the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks ? and other dates that are uniquely American.

White House spokesman Clark Stevens, asked about the briefings, said the president's homeland security and counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, has had senior-level meetings over the past four months about threats to the U.S. and appropriate responses leading up to the anniversary.

"These senior-level reviews of our security posture will continue through the 9/11 anniversary and beyond, in order to ensure the federal government remains fully prepared to take whatever steps are necessary to mitigate any potential attacks," Stevens said in a statement.
