Reform of the Universities Act: Opportunity or other trains lost?


Reform Act of Universities should be an opportunity to leverage a quality education in the country, strengthening the institutions of higher education for the benefit of ensuring the excellence of the human capital of her graduates.

A reform of this caliber should be an opportunity to promote modernization, globalization and the opening of our houses of learning to new realities such as the creation of joint degree programs with universities or double Asian, European and U.S. of which we can certainly learn as much, and the establishment of programs undergraduate student exchanges abroad, as a quasi-exhaustive in the curriculum of studies that could provide grants or financial support to state undergraduate level.

These practices make possible real processes of transfer, assimilation, sharing, learning, ownership and generation of knowledge, cultural experiences and best practices that could certainly make a difference and routed through the path of development, as have diversity of countries called emerging economies such as Singapore, Finland, India, Norway and many more. where the trigger has been implemented reforms its education, science and technology, promoting the attraction and integration of the best international education programs in their countries and evaluation of their teachers and professors as setter for the quantum leap.

Obviously this requires the conclusion of a national vision of long-term horizon with a clear and specific goals designed to increase the quality levels of our education, through public policies that promote and foster educational exchanges and the creation of training programs ; joint class universities world, the best allocation of the infrastructure of our houses of study, among many more.

This is imperative in our country truly shameful resolution of issues - such as debts accumulated in the payment of teachers-especially with oil revenue as large as in recent years The significant improvement in their salary schedules and status, giving it the importance that this work is for a society that understands the value of this work for budget development and loose in our house of studies for its optimal operation and not continued presence of budget deficits that undermine the capacity, functionality and quality of our university education system.

rethink higher education system on a visionary and progressive scheme, if a revolutionary mission, which transcends even downstream in the scheme of basic education (first level and second level); rethink the English language requirement since the early years of training and the existence of bilingual chairs are inter alia, the substantive discussion that I personally hope will occur in a law reform of our universities.

However it is noteworthy that these demands or desires are not even remotely we hear from students, or teachers in a country whose political polarization seems to have swept the vision and long term, where the central themes of the discussion seem to be the same, administrative, budgetary, authority election system chancellors and accountability, all important issues, but once again neglecting the heart of the matter is the quality of education and how we do (long-term comprehensive strategy) to our professionals are on par with graduates from universities world class.

A discussion of the reform of the Universities Act, likewise should not lose sight of the instrumentation mechanisms and public policies that foster and encourage closer links with the productive sector and promote research processes that result in patents of industrial interest, going beyond the invention and indeed may arise in the process of successful entrepreneurship and innovation; these are some elements that I personally aspire constitute the center of a serious discussion, responsible, necessary and visionary of this instrument, otherwise I think we could be facing another missed opportunity country.

The boys are well

Today was an unexpected holiday. Of those that you are almost by surprise, as a result of which the council has had to relocate parties in their original dates coincided with holidays. And you find that you do not know what to do.

Not me, of course, but for my wife. And I said, you want to go to the movies? - Okay, so let's go.

And then came what to choose what to see. It was a long time since we were not going to the movies and I really do not know what could be more interesting movie. Perhaps influenced by the recent Oscars, is, I looked among them had received a statuette, but do not usually go by this kind of approach, where previously we had major disappointments.

We finally settled on a film nominated for four Oscars, but has not received any. We trusted too much, why reading the review, we Dramon tremebundo sounded.

But, surprise! The film, despite being low cost, is performed superbly, with excellent photography and execution of plans that include and soberly dramatize the strength of the scenes.

The actors are superb, both Annette Bening and Julianne Moore in their respective roles of mother and lesbian mother, parent of two teenagers - Mia Wasikovska and Josh Hutcherson - born after artificial insemination paths generated from a single sperm donor, Mark Ruffalo.

With these ingredients could have been concocting a story that easily fall in squalor or histrionica overacting. But no.

One issue, that of families of same-sex marriages, even conflicting fit into society, is treated with great delicacy and naturalness.

much that you get in nature rather skeptical about this issue, see with different eyes. Another issue is that in the end the history of infidelity, the protagonists could have any say traditional couples.

recommended film to watch and reminded me of a conversation heard in Radio days ago. An announcer offered him an imminent viewer pay half the price of admission to the nearest multiplex, if I went to see a English film. The viewer said he still preferred to go to see an American movie, the quality that no doubt find in this nationality. This is surely an exaggeration to comment, but it partly right.

English cinema, heavily subsidized, is committed to the deep-sea movies very dramatic and far-reaching, if not grotesque, type Torrente. But he has the ability to tell stories Quotidiano with the strength and the pulse necessary to attract viewers.

Hence the low interest and low box office revenue. Indeed, if these subsidies are paid with money from the taxpayers' (and therefore I have also contributed to them) should not be either downloaded from the Internet crime films made by such subsidies. Right?

LOCTI: Are we still talking about CTI or just research?


progress and development of a society is inextricably linked to advancing to do science, technology and innovation of a country. It is therefore essential that they do not become politicized, uniform, abridging, or limit. Quite the contrary by the characteristics of their goods and services supported in the knowledge and management, demand the formation of a critical mass able to systematize, document, research, question, propose, create, implement and massively knowledge, applications and solutions that add value in a basic criterion of autonomy and independence of mind alien to political whims, economic, religious or dogmatic, sometimes try to catch and dispose of in dynamic are not, nor should they ever find it as their own.

development activities in science, technology and innovation includes multi-faceted and dynamic processes ranging from scientific or technological research, but not restricted to action to investigate, ie to investigate, document, test, contrast, experiencing or developing theories, models, methodologies, facts, prototypes, taxonomies and an extensive and valuable etc.

The work of science, technology and innovation have a greater scope, activities also include management and technological development , training, dissemination, incubation of technology-based businesses, entrepreneurship and innovation, it is scientific, technological, organizational or social, as well as the activities of transfer and appropriation of technologies and expertise, external technical linkages, STI capacity building as the formation of R & D, interface units, spin-off, for the last two almost non-existent or ineffective in the country where traditional approaches have restricted the technology parks that despite being articulated to campus for academic excellence or spaces have important limitations.

As can be seen STI activities are more extensive than it is scientific research, technological or social. Therefore concerned that the guidelines regarding the use of resources from the obligation under the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation (LOCTI) to two months reform, seem only summarized the research (other activity that is in my opinion passionate and valuable for the development of a country), running the risk of reduced LOCTI a Research Act which among other things raises the centralization of resources by the State why there is a need to remember that the law is not research, but the activities of science, technology and innovation (STI) which are broader and more diverse than just the research per se.

Moreover the work of CTI as no single "locus" to the academy, which logically has a specific weight, but not unique. Corporations, foundations, civic associations, technology development centers, NGOs, technologists, including freelancers, consultants and graduate students, etc, in addition to universities, are part of that critical mass that makes up the National Science, Technology and Innovation, which we know is insufficient for the challenges and challenges involving developing country.

CTI activities require the confluence of diverse actors and not respond to a model that contains new settings the complex and dynamic cycle of CTI to a relationship - State University - Society, where the Company does not intervene as a "locus" of this cycle but as a financier.

Moreover, to minimize the existence of companies that evade or deflect unfortunately LOCTI obligation to others processes for purposes other than linking with universities and R & D, or learning processes, technology and innovation management depends on an adequate understanding of the business and commitment to the local CTI, but then a lot depends on and proper management control, the same that has prevented the current date to know how many units of R & D business than academics were formed, reactivated or boosted between 2005 -2010, 2005 LOCTI product?, or how many and in what areas increased external technical linkages between universities and the productive sector, or do many courses graduate, graduate, or professional development programs increased enrollment LOCTI investment product, how many technical courses increased their demand for it, how is saving the country foreign exchange product engineering activities, design and technological development of components, equipment, parts and local?, despite the overall increase in imports promoted by the State in food items, agricultural, manufacturing, etc. by the inconsistency of policies supported in the process of expropriation and dismantling capabilities, foreign to the spirit and purposes of the LOCTI.

Or on the other hand, how many publications were generated with the input received by universities in these 5 years LOCTI 2005, how many investigations and in which areas contributed to developing country?.

In neither case are true answers, because the regulator on the issue unfortunately has not fulfilled its role and to do so requires a restructure and focus again resources, performance and evaluation criteria, in addition to the approval of who gives and who not, and the times when absolute discretion to implement such procedures as well as accountability so far lacking, despite people have valuable and able to propose and implement sensible proposals, but have in many cases marginal, saturated, underutilized and unmotivated.

Free Saddle Pad Pattern

I was one of the 20,000!

Yeah, yeah. There we were my wife and I, from 20,000 last Saturday visited the Sagrada Familia. Or at least that number of visitors was given by the organization.

Not that I did not know the Sagrada Familia. I've always been there, always new, always unfinished towers hovering above the city skyline. Even I as a child, along with another classmate, had walked the streets of our neighborhood piggy bank in hand, participating in the charity collection to raise funds with which to continue building the temple. It's been more than fifty years.

We could not have imagined then that someday Barcelona come to such a Ratzinger to inaugurate a part of that work takes so long under construction. Who would have dared in those days to question such a visit? Who would have thought then that a few meters underground, would a high-speed train? Why would that not even a bird. Or who would have dared in those days, propose that lie at the facade of the Sagrada Familia monument to the gays and lesbians?

Joking aside, the cruise ship, which recently opened, opened by the Pope, is impressive. But the Sagrada Familia is a temple being built in modern times. Impossible to think (and after reading Ken Follet's books or Falcon) in the different media used in the construction of the great cathedrals during the Middle Ages and those used today. It is curious to try to compare the precarious scaffolding that was used then, with huge cranes bristle factory building at present.

so I do not want to detract from the efforts being made to move in that building that is now so linked with the hallmarks of Barcelona. While I believe that inside, despite the modern architectural elements and the remarkable stained glass, has tried to avoid the tremendous gap that exists for example between the imagery of the Nativity facade and the facade of the Passion. Perhaps because I - personally - Subirachs sculptures do not like.

Another thing that struck me is that for the first time - to me at least - I saw a picture that suggests a crucified Jesus, entirely naked, which is suspended above the altar . Would this be what motivate ICV-EUiA Barcelona City Council to request the installation of the aforementioned memorial tribute to gays and lesbians in the location proposed?

Gretchen Rossi Bathing Suit On Housewives Intro



remember once, a manager of the company where I worked, I was working with a laptop, of the time, a lot of years back and said (more or less) "Damn, I allergy-producing these dishes and here, with one so close!".

Later, much of the success of company due to the distributed computing enabled competitive advantage in the commercial network, faced with a high level of demand due to competition.

Well, I can say that I've fallen into something. A year ago, one of my characters I played in my blog, saying:

"truth But I still prefer holding a book or magazine in your hands and take delight in reading, carry liquid crystal display "

And now instead ... and I have an iPad, a gift from my wife. And I read him some books. And I'm getting used to reading the paper in it. And I like to take over Does that mean I have radically changed your mind?

Not completely. I still like to feel the paper in my hands. What happens is that now I read books over paper books in the iPad. I read newspapers in the iPad and do crossword puzzles in the newspapers of paper. And I connect to the Internet with the IPAD and now the LCD, since they no longer see it so bad and also the images are superdefinidas. What a mess!

¿Cree que me Estoy volviendo un poco loco? Ahora mismo, these Estoy escribiendo it in the iPad.
