  • [Lekaroz] Enpresagunea Baztan-en – Campus empresarial en Baztán

    Ya era hora de que el Gobierno de Navarra contemplase ayudar otras cosas en Baztan aparte de la ganadería, casas rurales y cosas por el estilo. No llevan décadas ni nada los baztaneses pidiendo un polígono industrial …

    Quote:

    Un campus empresarial para regenerar el viejo colegio de Lekaroz

    El nuevo proyecto acogerá actividades educativas, culturales y económicas. La iglesia, única construcción que se mantiene, será un centro multiusos y se recuperará la regata

    Los planes para el viejo colegio de Lekaroz cobran forma casi al tiempo que ha finalizado el derribo de las construcciones que albergaron el emblemático centro escolar. El Gobierno de Navarra presentó ayer el proyecto de campus empresarial que se va a impulsar para albergar iniciativas culturales, educativas y económicas que potencien la comarca de Baztán-Bidasoa. La idea, que se perfilará a lo largo de este 2010, año en el que también se tratará de llenar de contenido y empresas, incluye también un centro de inmersión lingüística, un parque empresarial y un área de acogida en la zona de la iglesia. Las nuevas construcciones tratarán de integrarse en el entorno natural y quedarán abiertos al disfrute público.

    (…)

    El proyecto para Lekaroz ha sido diseñado por un despacho de arquitectura de Pamplona – Arquitectos Asociados SL (Asoarq)- que ha resultado ganador de un concurso al que se presentaron cinco ofertas. Una de ellas, según se contó ayer a la comisión de seguimiento de Lekaroz, fue excluida, por lo que fueron cuatro los anteproyectos sobre los que se ha trabajado. El plan ganador, que se desarrollará a lo largo de este año, propone la reurbanización de los 120.868 metros cuadrados que conformaban el colegio y las parcelas próximas. De ellos, 34.000 serán edificables y el conjunto conformará un nuevo espacio que tendrá un carácter de campus empresarial. Según explicó uno de los arquitectos, Santiago Iribarren, dispondrá de grandes zonas verdes y una baja densidad, además de itinerarios peatonales y ciclistas.

    En concreto, se plantea la reedificación del entorno de la Iglesia como frente edificado de acogida (11.695 metros cuadrados), la transformación de las antiguas huertas en un parque empresarial de edificación flexible (49.691 metros cuadrados) y la reurbanización del entorno de los antiguos establos para la implantación de un centro de inmersión lingüística (59.482 metros cuadrados).

  • General Motors publica nueva información sobre el Chevrolet Volt

    Durante los últimos días estamos recibiendo mucha información sobre uno de los coches eléctricos más esperados, el Chevrolet Volt. Esta vez, General Motors ha publicado nueva información. Se confirma la primera batería de producción creada en las instalaciones habilitadas por GM.

    Chevrolet Volt

    Otro dato muy importate es que se ha dado a conocer el precio provisional que tendrá el modelo cuando llegue al mercado, unos 40.000$ pero desconocemos si se le aplicarán los descuentos de 7.500$ que ofrece el gobierno por la compra de un vehículo eléctrico.

    En Europa este modelo podría costar unos 27.500€ apróximadamente lo que lo convertirá en un modelo no muy asequible aunque si se confirman todas sus prestaciones sería un coche a tener muy en cuenta.

  • Fox & Friends , NY Post complain about Obama press conference delay, which was due to document declassification

    Fox & Friends , NY Post complain about Obama press conference delay, which was due to document declassification

    Fox & Friends‘ hosts and the New York Post editorial board complained that the “near-five-hour delay” (or “three-and-a-half hour delay”) of President Obama’s press conference addressing the intelligence review of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s alleged attempt to set off a bomb on a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas day was “disconcerting,” “strange and eerie,” “dysfunctional,” and “not what the White House should be doing.” In fact — as Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy at one point acknowledged — administration officials stated that the delay was required to declassify the summary of a report on the attempted attack which was released following the conference.

    Fox & Friends hosts complaints continue even after Doocy acknowledges delay caused by need to “declassify” document

    After Kilmeade called delay “strange,” Doocy said that according to “The Washington Post this morning … they were trying to declassify more of the stuff.” Co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Gretchen Carlson, and Steve Doocy discussed the press conference delay on the January 8 edition of Fox & Friends:

    CARLSON: But did anyone learn anything new yesterday? That was what was frustrating to me. Number one, they said we were going to have these shocking revelations. There was no big shock. But why was there that three-and-a-half hour delay?

    KILMEADE: That was strange.

    CARLSON: The president was supposed to come out at 1 p.m. and give us this shocking revelation. And then he did in fact not come out until 4:30 p.m. Eastern time. So what did they deem that was too shocking to tell the American public?

    DOOCY: Well, I think part of it was they were rushing to try to declassify some of the stuff that they would talk about. And so they — you know they — according to one of the reports, I believe it was in The Washington Post this morning, that they were trying to declassify more of the stuff. But absolutely, when you look at the facts we already had, they were shocking enough already.

    Carlson: Obama was “front and center yesterday giving his speech — three-and-a-half hours delayed — telling the American public guess what? We actually are at war.” Even after Doocy acknowledged the declassification of documents as the reason for the press conference delay, Gretchen Carlson still highlighted the delay, stating: “All right, let’s talk a little bit about the president of the United States because he was front and center yesterday giving his speech — three-and-a-half hours delayed — telling the American public, ‘Guess what? We actually are at war.’ ”

    Johnson on the delay: “it was strange and eerie, it’s dysfunctional, it shows disorganization, it’s not what the White House should be doing.” Also after Doocy stated that the delay was due to declassification, Kilmeade and Fox News senior legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. called the delay “strange and eerie”:

    JOHNSON: But there’s something else that’s going on, and there seems to be some confusion. First of all, it took them hours to get the president out there. They kept on pushing back the time of the statement of the press conference –

    KILMEADE: That was strange and eerie.

    JOHNSON: It was strange and eerie, it’s dysfunctional, it shows disorganization, it’s not what the White House should be doing.

    NY Post: press conference delay is “disconcerting message of irresolution and confusion”

    From the January 8 New York Post editorial:

    If Obama had lopped off a couple of heads after the Detroit fiasco — and yesterday wouldn’t have been too late — it would have sent a powerful signal: This guy means business.

    He didn’t.

    Equally disconcerting was the near-five-hour delay between the time Obama was scheduled to address the nation and when he finally did. Given that National Security Adviser Jim Jones had set the stage for the speech by promising that new information was at hand that would “shock” the nation, the delay sent a disconcerting message of irresolution and confusion.

    Administration stated that “declassifying a highly complex document” caused delay

    Gibbs apologized for the delayed press conference, citing “declassifying a highly complex document” as the cause. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs opened the press conference by apologizing for the delayed time, stating that “declassifying a highly complex document takes some time, and we wanted to get that right.” From the January 7 press conference:

    GIBBS: Good morning, guys. Good afternoon, or good early evening. I want to first apologize for the delay in the events that have occurred over the past couple hours. As you all know, declassifying a highly complex document takes some time, and we wanted to get that right.

    Politico: “Officials acknowledged that the three-and-a-half hour delay” “due to efforts to clear the declassified summary through various government agencies.” From a January 8 Politco article:

    Officials acknowledged that the three-and-a-half hour delay in Obama’s remarks, originally set for 1 p.m., was due to efforts to clear the declassified summary through various government agencies. In that time, some information was stripped out, though it’s unclear if it was whatever Jones and others deemed to be shocking.

    “Was it redacted further? Yes it was,” said one official who asked not to be named. “One has to be extremely careful what is made public. It can provide knowledge to your enemies.”

    Associated Press: Obama’s “remarks delayed twice as officials scrambled to declassify a six-page summary…of security failures.” A January 8 Associated Press article reported of Obama’s press conference: “He spoke from the State Dining Room at the White House, his remarks delayed twice as officials scrambled to declassify a six-page summary of a report he’d ordered from top officials on the security failures. That summary was released immediately after he spoke, as was Obama’s three-page directive to agency chiefs.”

  • GestureTek brings Eyemo gesture control to Android, Momo tracking engine for Windows Mobile

    GestureTek was showing off some of its gesture-based options for controlling your TV at last year’s CES, and it’s now back again with a few more slightly interesting pieces of software. That includes a version of its Eyemo software for Android, which is already available for range of other platforms, and lets developers take advantage of a phone’s camera to add gesture control options to various applications — although that only involves gesturing with the device itself, not your hands. The company’s recently announced Momo software for Windows Mobile takes things one step further than that, however, and will indeed apparently let you control a game or other application with hand or body gestures — although that’ll likely work best on a device with a front-facing camera.

    DirectX 11 has been chewed up and spit out by desktop GPUs over the past few months, but until CES 2010, laptops at large were left out of the raving. This week, AMD has introduced what it’s calling the world’s first mobile graphics with DX11 compatibility, and the Mobility Radeon HD 5870 — which just so happens to be featured in ASUS’ recently revealed G73jh — is leading the way. The HD 5800, HD 5700, HD 5600 and HD 5400 series are all new at the show, and each one comes with baked in support for ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology and helping tech-adoring geeks find their soulmates (as is clearly shown above).
