I wrote in 20.12 which number is magic.


I wrote in 20.12 which number is magic, whether for business or pleasure… Whether it is for Yin or for the Yang. Even when this is for Bert and Ernie. Ask the Elizabeth the II if we all live not in the same street. Not ask too much to read to the end and than – to don’t “spread” too much…

Mais brasileiros na corrida pela Cimpor. 21/12/09 00:05. A Camargo Corrêa está a estudar uma proposta de compra da Cimpor depois da OPA da CSN. De todos os potenciais interessados em opor-se à OPA lançada pela CSN sobre a Cimpor, o principal rival parece vir também do Brasil. O grupo Camargo Corrêa, um antigo interessado no controlo da cimenteira nacional - na última fase de privatização da empresa, em 2000, desenvolveu diversos contactos com o Governo português de então nesse sentido - está cada vez mais na linha da frente da reacção a este raide de surpresa da CSN.

German teacher stabbed by obsessed pupil. A German teacher was stabbed to death by a obsessed former pupil who placed a GPS tracking device on her car to follow and then kill her. Published: 5:00PM GMT 20 Dec 2009. Chemistry mistress Heike Beyermann, 35, was stabbed 20 times by Gero Schmidt, 21, in the town of Osterholz-Scharmbeck, near Bremen. She was yards from her front door when he struck and a passer-by who came to help was unable to save her. Police said the man had wanted to ask "several thousand questions" of his former teacher and declared his love for her before he attacked. "She had spurned his advances but he was a strange loner, totally obsessed by her," said police. Miss Beyermann was "beloved of her pupils" at a high school in the town where she lived and had previously contacted police because she feared he might try to kill her. A police search of his home at the time turned up gunpowder and fireworks but police felt they had nothing "substantial" to lay charges against him. Schmidt, a corporal in the German army, called police after the murder on Friday and then waited to be arrested. State prosecutor Uwe Picard said he gave his name and spoke lucidly during the call, telling police: "I've killed someone. I've put down my weapon. Please pick me up." During his interrogation, he said he had prepared several questions on various topics which he wanted to put to his former teacher. He told police how he had fixed a GPS tracking device to the teacher's car at about 10am on Friday and used it to follow her to the car park near her home where he confronted her. He also told detectives he had her under surveillance "for some time".

Brittany Murphy's death 'natural'. Posted 44 minutes ago. Updated 30 minutes ago. The sudden death of American actress Brittany Murphy "appears to be natural", the Los Angeles County Coroner says.
Tributes are flowing for the actress, who died of a heart attack earlier today, aged 32. The Los Angeles Times said Murphy, who starred in such films as 8 Mile and Just Married, was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after going into cardiac arrest. A spokesman for the Los Angeles City Fire Department says officers responded to an emergency call at Murphy's home in West Hollywood at 8.00am (local time).
Murphy's mother, Sharon, discovered the star slumped unconscious in a shower at her home before her husband called emergency services, entertainment website TMZ.com reported. Stars pay tribute: Murphy made her breakthrough in the 1995 feature comedy Clueless, playing a frumpy schoolgirl who gets a makeover from Alicia Silverstone's character. Her last big movie was Sin City. Murphy seemed destined for big things in the 1990s, thanks to roles in such films as the satires Clueless (1995) and Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), as well as in Girl Interrupted, for which Angelina Jolie received an Oscar in 2000. She appeared opposite Michael Douglas in the 2001 thriller Don't Say A Word, and played Eminem's love interest in the 2002 hit 8 Mile. The following year, she co-starred with Ashton Kutcher in the romantic comedy Just Married and with Dakota Fanning in Uptown Girls. But the movies failed to generate much commercial or critical heat. Murphy enjoyed more enduring success on the small screen, providing the voice of the vacuous Texan Luanne Platter in the cartoon series King of the Hill. She also voiced a penguin in the 2006 box office hit Happy Feet. Murphy was born in Atlanta on November 10, 1977, and raised in New Jersey. Accompanied by her mother, she moved to Los Angeles in the early 1990s in hopes of stardom.
