Around 18 million Romanian citizens are expected to vote on Sunday, November 25, to elect the 35 Romanian officials to represent the country in the European Parliament and to say if they agree with the introduction of the uninominal voting system.

The two events are based on Law no. 33/2007 regarding the organization and development of European Parliament elections and on Law no. 3/2000 regarding the organization of the referendum. Both acts were amended through several government emergency ordinances.
Around 18267634 million Romanians are expected to vote for the referendum while 18267639 citizens to vote for EP elections.

The results of the referendum to introduce the uninominal voting system will be sent to the Central Electoral Bureau by County Bureaus in 24 hours after the voting sections close.
According to Law no. 3/2000, the interval will be enough for country electoral bureaus to receive the data from voting sections and to send it to the Central Electoral Bureau.

In 24 hours after the vote ends, the Bureau will forward to the Constitutional Court the centralized results of the national referendum, comprising in the number of valid votes and that of votes that were annulled.

According to legal stipulations, the Court presents to Parliament a report on the observance of procedures regarding the organization and development of the referendum and confirms its results.

The results are to be then published in the Official Gazette of Romania.

The trial of Romanian hacker Victor Faur, accused of breaking the codes and hacking into the computerized systems of several American agencies, including NASA, was postponed by four months as the procedures to call on American witnesses to testify took longer than expected.

Dan Ilarie, head of the Arad organized crime investigation department, said American witnesses failed to show for the hearing on Thursday and the trial was postponed by four months.
Judges decided the next hearing to take place on March 20, 2008.

At the October 18 hearing, Faur admitted to having accessed American servers but he said he did it without knowing whose servers they were. He added he had no intention to cause damages.

The 23 year-old Romanian national said he received the access data from a user he met on the internet, who is supposedly from Constanta, southeast Romania.

Faur could not give information on the man who supposedly gave him the access data of the American servers.

The Romanian citizen said he does not agree to pay any compensations to the American agencies involved, as he does not consider to have caused them any kind of damage.

At the first hearing that took place on September 6, 2007 in Arad, western Romania, the hometown of Faur, representatives of NASA, the US Navy and the US Department of Energy asked to be paid damages worth EUR1.7 million as 150 of their computers were hacked into.
Faur is accused of illegally accessing between November 2005 and September 2006 computerized systems belonging to the American agencies the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) - Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Goddard Space Flight Center, (GSFC) US Department of Navy and US Department of Energy (DoE).

Faur used passwords and usernames belonging to authorized personnel from these institutions.

Cannabis is the most used illegal drug in Europe, some 70 million European citizens stating that they have tried it at least once in their life, while 23 million people said they used cannabis in the past year, according to the annual report on the drug situation in Europe, presented in Bucharest.

According to the report, most EU citizens use cannabis, while 7,000 to 8,000 people die every year, overdoses being the main cause.

"Death by overdose is not the only health risk for users. Studies indicate a high mortality rate, regardless of the cause, mainly among problematic drug users, up to ten times higher than the rate registered in the general population. Therefore, if we want to significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with chronic drug consumption, we need a more comprehensive strategy to treat the mental as well as physical health problems of problematic drug users," said the report.

In just one month, over 13 million European citizens said they used cannabis.
"After a high level of cannabis consumption in the 90s, the latest data indicates that the cannabis consumption stabilized or dropped in several countries. Among top ranking countries, Spain registers more stable consumption rates, or decreasing ones, while in the Czech Republic, France and Great Britain, they dropped by 3-4 percentage points," said the report.

According to the data presented in Bucharest, cannabis consumption levels are hiking among young people, up to the age of 34, in Hungary, Slovakia and Norway.

Regarding requests for rehab, against cannabis consumption, they have tripled on a European level, between 1999 and 2005.

Christmas (or should I say "Xmas" -- "the holiday season" maybe?) continues to be criminalized and the companies that make a business of tinsel, gaily wrapped packages and "ho, ho, ho" don't know whether to embrace or hide from the specter of political incorrectness.

I'm sorry. Did I offend you?

In the latest blow to the no-longer-holy holidays, Santas in Sydney, Australia are being urged to say "ha, ha, ha," instead of "ho, ho, ho."

Recruitment firm Westaff (NASDAQ: WSTF), which contracts with hundreds of Santas, sending them to stores and social appearances throughout Australia, has re-vamped its training. It's telling would-be Santas that the "ho ho ho" phrase "could frighten children and could even be derogatory to women," according to an Australian newspaper.

As Zac Bissonnette says, "ho, ho, ho" is offensive? I could understand if Santas were walking around calling people nappy-headed 'hos," but Santa's jolly greeting is more kid lit than gangsta rap.
After all, what does "ho, ho, ho" remind you of, more, than "'Twas the Night Before Christmas"? Can't you just see a belly bouncing like a bowl full of jelly?


Oh, dear. Now I've just offended those with larger-than-normal body types.

Romania’s President Traian Basescu appealed Wednesday with the Constitutional Court the law on the uninominal voting system for which the government assumed responsibility in Parliament.

Basescu made the announcement in a press conference in Romania’s western city of Timisoara, where he is touring to promote the uninominal voting system.

The President said that he appealed article 29 of the uninominal voting law which stipulates the introduction of the additional list of voters nationwide. Basescu cared to stress that the government assumed responsibility for an incomplete law.

According to Basescu, this article actually infringes article 2 of the Constitution stipulating the sovereignty of the Romanian people, as well as article 62, section 1 of the Constitution stipulating that the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate are both elected through universal, equal, direct, secret and freely expressed votes, based on the electoral law.
