My morning brainstorm absolutely deserves attention.

My morning brainstorm absolutely deserves attention. Shame that when it comes to act or follow through, I begin again and again (it’s ongoing…) feel a little bit sidetracked. Some dirty hands don’t give me the possibility to set (i.e. live me in peace) correctly priorities, or at least make for me real and authentic schedule. Well, my such determined “friends” and co-workers, who want joint to this ride? Today is clear at least one thing; Instead of letting a relationship tick over, let’s share the daring ideas!

Barroso vows to resist jockeying for jobs. November 25 2009 02:00. José Manuel Barroso, the European Commission president, yesterday vowed to resist pressure from member states angling for top jobs as he begins final deliberations over the composition of the next Commission. The last three member states - Denmark, the Netherlands and Malta - submitted their nominees yesterday, clearing the way for Mr Barroso to finalise the allocation of 25 posts still open after the appointment of Lady Ashton, as high representative and the UK's commissioner. Mr Barroso is expected to announce the new Commission early next week, after he returns from an EU-China summit, according to people familiar with the matter, although it could come sooner. The contest for top jobs has given rise to intense jockeying by member states as well as allegations of backroom deals, particularly for the coveted economic portfolios. The Commission must be vetted by the European parliament, which is not expected to begin hearings until January. Yesterday, Mr Barroso told MEPs: "Let's be blunt: All of us are subject to pressure and requests. But at the end of the day, I have the final decision on what the next Commission will be." In the meantime, one of the final building blocks was put in place when the Netherlands announced that it would return Neelie Kroes, the highly regarded competition commissioner, for another term even though her domestic party is in opposition. Last night, there were rumours in the Netherlands that Ms Kroes could take the "digital economy" portfolio, covering telecommunications, information technology and possibly copyright. "She'll get a portfolio that really involves the future of Europe. It will be connected with e-commerce, digitalisation, broadband, mobile phones - all issues that touch on the new technological reality. She is very motivated by this. It's a future-oriented portfolio," Jan Peter Balkenende, the Dutch prime minister told NOS, the Dutch broadcaster. The appointment is likely to be seen as a setback for Mr Balkenende, who was passed over in the search for a European president last week and had wanted to appoint a new commissioner from his own conservative party. Backing for Ms Kroes, a member of the opposition liberals, had been based on the widely held assumption that she would attract a heavyweight portfolio, such as trade commissioner. However, one face-saving mechanism attracting widespread speculation in Dutch media last night was that Ms Kroes might be appointed vice-chairwoman of the Commission. Ms Kroes said she was "very pleased" to be nominated. Meanwhile, Denmark nominated Connie Hedegaard, its climate and energy minister, as its next commissioner. Ms Hedegaard is considered the frontrunner to become the EU's first climate action commissioner. Mr Barroso suggested the creation of the portfolio earlier this year, although its formal role is still unclear. Mr Barroso indicated yesterday that the new commissioner would take charge of the EU's climate policy - both internally and externally - and would bring climate concerns into other portfolios, such as trade and industry. Mr Barroso also told MEPs that he expected to have nine female commissioners - after receiving only three nominations as of last week. The scarcity of female commissioners has been a key concern among MEPs.

Hermitage Capital Management. Associated Press. 11/25/09 7:50 AM PST. MOSCOW — Russian investigators have defended their treatment of a lawyer whose death in a Moscow prison last week has prompted deep concern and criticism. Sergei Magnitsky was arrested in November 2008 on tax-evasion accusations linked to his work with a company headed by a high-profile investor who has been barred from Russia as an alleged security risk. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday ordered a high-level probe into Magnitsky's death. Colleagues say Magnitsky entered jail healthy and died after being denied medical attention despite repeated pleas. A spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry's Investigative Committee claimed Wednesday that investigators did not know Magnitsky was ill and suggested that he felt fine before his death. Руководство фонда отвергало все эти обвинения. Фонд сам ранее заявлял, что 5,4 млрд руб. налогов, уплаченные государству его компаниями, украли рейдеры. (?)
