with of the vote and deputies, four more than in . The Socialist candidate, Carme

Chacon, has managed to equate the result obtained by the PSOE in , when it recorded its best

figures in Catalonia.

The other major state party, the PP, has improved its results, after increasing from six to eight

representatives in Congress and achieve new seats in Barcelona and Lleida.

The campaign bipolarizada between the two major parties has made a dent in state ERC, which has

seen reduced to less than half the number of deputies from four years ago, when they won eight.

Developers can build applications

Apple has shown tools for developers manufacturing applications for its mobile a decision which seeks to increase the attractiveness of the device.
The company wants to attract professional clients, a 'declaration of war' for the device more popular tastes

"Starting today, we are opening themselves some APIs (tools for communication between and other merramientas we use to build all our applications for," said Scott Forstall,

vice president of software '.

"This means that developers can build applications for iPhone using the same tools that we," he

added.

The tools allow the development of programs that operate directly on the iPhone, instead of

having to do so through an Internet browser, which was what they called Apple so far.

In addition, Apple reported that its popular device begin to include programs to synchronize the

device with the corporate e-mail system and calendar Exchange, Microsoft, which opens a new

Exploitation of the resources offered

A study indicates that the use of social networks has been better employed by PSOE and IU, but

the use of the Internet as a medium is still insufficient.

With the election campaign is finished and a few hours of the opening of the polls, a study

already declared winners PSOE and IU, but only in the exploitation of the resources offered by

the Internet to campaign.

After an analysis of the websites of the major political parties, the consultant Multiply

believes that "in this new campaign, the Spanish political parties have made a greater effort to

make the Internet is an important part of their election campaigns."

However, only PSOE and IU pass in the mechanisms used to persuade citizens with a and

respectively. The DB suspended for a short and the other parties remain very far

from approved.

Despite the widespread use of social networks, such as Facebook or Myspace, Multiplies not seen

great changes with the hierarchical and institutional speech that characterize the traditional

discourse of the parties. So politicians wasted capacity segmentation public offering network.

Furthermore, the study shows that although surveys show that those undecided will tilt the

balance in favour of PP and PSOE, no party focuses its electoral strategy in the network to the

conquest of that vote..

The planet Earth is not only suffer the effects of climate change by increasing temperatures.

There are also other factors that affect global biodiversity, such as changes in land use, the

concentration of carbon dioxide, acid rain or the invasion of alien species that transform native

habitats. With these elements in hand, scientists have developed a UN report which presuppose the

evolution of terrestrial ecosystems in this century. In it, the most serious threats are borne on

the Spanish Mediterranean, which could lose up of its plants in .The change scenario that scientists predict located in red places on Earth where the

transformations of biodiversity are deeper. Thus, next to the Iberian peninsula appears whole

Mediterranean area, California, Chile's border with Bolivia, the region of Kurdistan and some

points of South Africa and Australia. Behind them, the Russian steppe, the center of North

America and a small portion between Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. In all these places,

scientists predict serious threats to ecosystems by "massive extinctions" of fauna and flora. The

most favorable scenarios speak of a loss of bef the species, although the Spanish Mediterranean they could reach betwe, according to the report Ecosystem

Assessment Millennium, prepared by experts countries.

The change in land use is the most serious of which affect global biodiversity. For example, the

conversion of farmland pasture or tropical forests, land rustic newly urbanized or deforestation

has resulted in local extinctions of plants and animals, whose habitat is largely determined by

the composition of plant species. The bodies underground also severely affected by the overuse of freshwater resources.

election and the failure to make progress will not be submitted again for the post of general

coordinator.

The leader of UTI calm came after hours at the headquarters of Olympus dress with jacket,

red tie and white shirt to spend election night together with his closest collaborators and

candidates for Madrid.

But it did not stop to sleep on the third floor of the United Left, after moments of tension and

nervousness results were appearing on the screens before more than fifty militants saddened.

Throughout the afternoon and evening electoral breathed "tense calm", according to one of his

aides, in the streets of Madrid Olympus, where even journalists themselves were surprised by the

low result.

militancy and propose the convening of a Federal Assembly.
