- AdSense for Feeds was designed to help publishers earn revenue from their content by placing ads on their RSS feeds. Starting October 2, we’ll begin to retire this feature—and on December 3 we’ll close it. Publishers can continue to use FeedBurner URLs powered by Google, so they won’t need to redirect subscribers to different URLs. For more information visit the AdSense Help Center.
- Classic Plus is a Google Search feature that lets people upload or select images to use as a background on Google.com. Users won’t be able to upload new pictures starting from October 16, and we'll turn the service off in November 2012. You'll continue to have access to any images you've uploaded.
- Google storage in Picasa and Drive will be consolidated over the next few months, so users will have five GB of free storage across both services. If you’re paying for storage, your free storage will now be counted towards your total. So if you buy a 100GB plan, it will give you 100GB of total storage instead of adding to what you already had. We believe this approach will make it much easier for users. For both free and paid storage, people at or near their current storage limits will have the same amount of storage after this change.
- Spreadsheet Gadgets were designed to allow people to add customized features to Google Spreadsheets. But most popular gadgets have now been added directly into charts in spreadsheets. So we will slowly start turning off Gadgets in Spreadsheets next year.
- Starting on October 15, we'll stop issuing and displaying Google News Badges, as well as showing Recommended Sections. People can still tailor their Google News experience by adding custom sections or adjusting the frequency with which news sources appear.
- We've merged Insights for Search into a revamped Google Trends. You can now see search trends and compare search volume patterns across specific regions, categories, time frames and properties in a single place: google.com/trends. We will no longer support Trends for Websites, which allowed people to compare traffic to and audiences of different websites.
- Places Directory was an Android app that helped people find nearby places of interest. We've removed the app from Google Play and are taking down the Places Directory site because users can find everything in Google Maps for Mobile, which offers a much better user experience.
- We introduced +1 Reports in Webmaster Tools to help publishers measure +1 activity on their pages. Given that webmasters now use Social Reports in Google Analytics to get a wider view of social activity (including +1’s), we'll be discontinuing the stand-alone +1 Reports on November 14. Measuring social media remains a priority for Google Analytics, so stay tuned for future improvements.
More spring cleaning

Technology offers so many opportunities to help improve users’ lives. This means it is really important to focus or we end up doing too much with too little impact. So today we’re winding down a bunch more features—bringing the total to nearly 60 since we started our “spring” clean last fall.

OPINIÃO: Sem Gentil Bicalho, governo Prandini provavelmente não teria acontecido
Diposting oleh Unknown di 07.40 0 komentar
A estória que conto a seguir é uma daquelas voltas que a política dá. Ano de 2004, o grupo de Mauri Torres e Carlos Moreira decide lançar doutor Railton candidato a prefeito. À época, Gentil Bicalho era presidente do partido de Railton, o PDT. Nessa oportunidade, Carlos Moreira, Railton e o advogado Teotino Damasceno Filho foram a uma reunião na casa de Gentil Bicalho. A proposta foi a seguinte. Se o diretório estadual do PDT aceitasse a indicação, Gentil concordaria com a candidatura e iria se unir ao grupo. O acordo só valeu até os brindes de copos de cerveja. Poucos dias depois, Gentil Bicalho não cumpriu o acordo. Abandonou Railton e o seu PDT e se uniu a quem? Isso mesmo, Gustavo Prandini. Como todos sabem, Prandini teve apenas 500 votos a mais que Railton, uma diferença de 1%. Ou seja, 251 votos que mudassem de Prandini para Railton garantiria a vitória do médico. Como se sabe, Gentil Bicalho seria capaz de mudar a história. Sem o seu apoio a Prandini, muito provavelmente o advogado não teria vencido e o governo Prandini não teria acontecido. Agora, Gentil abandonou Prandini que, por sua vez, se uniu à dona Conceição. Coisas da política.

Diposting oleh Unknown di 07.00 0 komentar
We announced our commitment to carbon neutrality back in 2007, and since then we’ve been finding ways to power our operations with as much renewable energy as possible. In our latest step toward this end, we just signed an agreement with the Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) to green the energy supply to our Oklahoma data center with 48 MW of wind energy from the Canadian Hills Wind Project in Oklahoma, which is expected to come online later this year.
We’ve been working with GRDA, our local utility, to procure additional renewable energy since we “plugged in” our data center in 2011, and in February of 2012, GRDA approached us about purchasing power from Canadian Hills. In conjunction with the electricity GRDA already supplies Google to operate its data center, Google will pay GRDA a premium to purchase renewable energy generated by Canadian Hills. This brings the total amount of renewable energy for which Google has contracted to over 260 MW.
This agreement is a milestone for GRDA because it’s their first-ever wind energy project. It’s also a milestone for Google because it’s a little different from the previous Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) we’ve signed, where we agreed to buy the energy directly from the developer who built the wind farm. This agreement, by contrast, marks the first time we’ve partnered with a utility provider to increase the amount of renewable energy powering one of our data centers.
Although both options can make sense depending on the circumstances, we’re excited about this collaboration because it makes the most of our respective strengths: utilities like GRDA are best positioned to integrate renewable energy into their generation mix and to deliver power; we’re a growing company with a corporate mandate to use clean energy for our operations in a scalable way. We’ve been working closely with all of our utility partners to find ways to source renewables directly, and we look forward to working with other suppliers to deliver clean energy to our data centers.

Dive into the Great Barrier Reef with the first underwater panoramas in Google Maps
Selasa, 25 September 2012 Diposting oleh Unknown di 19.17 0 komentar
Today we’re adding the very first underwater panoramic images to Google Maps, the next step in our quest to provide people with the most comprehensive, accurate and usable map of the world. With these vibrant and stunning photos you don’t have to be a scuba diver—or even know how to swim—to explore and experience six of the ocean’s most incredible living coral reefs. Now, anyone can become the next virtual Jacques Cousteau and dive with sea turtles, fish and manta rays in Australia, the Philippines and Hawaii.
Starting today, you can use Google Maps to find a sea turtle swimming among a school of fish, follow a manta ray and experience the reef at sunset—just as I did on my first dive in the Great Barrier Reef last year. You can also find out much more about this reef via the World Wonders Project, a website that brings modern and ancient world heritage sites online.
At Apo Island, a volcanic island and marine reserve in the Philippines, you can see an ancient boulder coral, which may be several hundred years old. And in the middle of the Pacific, in Hawaii, you can join snorkelers in Oahu’s Hanauma Bay and drift over the vast coral reef at Maui's Molokini crater.
We’re partnering with The Catlin Seaview Survey, a major scientific study of the world’s reefs, to make these amazing images available to millions of people through the Street View feature of Google Maps. The Catlin Seaview Survey used a specially designed underwater camera, the SVII, to capture these photos.
Whether you’re a marine biologist, an avid scuba diver or a landlocked landlubber, we encourage you to dive in and explore the ocean with Google Maps. Check out our complete underwater collection, featuring a Google+ underwater Hangout from the Great Barrier Reef. And you can always explore more imagery from around the world by visiting maps.google.com/streetview.

Coligação poderá divulgar pesquisa forjada nesta quarta-feira
Diposting oleh Unknown di 17.33 0 komentarEstá sendo cogitado na cidade desde o início da tarde dessa terça-feira (25), que uma coligação que é adversária aos candidatos Teófilo Torres (PSDB) e Railton Franklin (PDT), irá divulgar uma pesquisa nesta quarta-feira, de intenção de votos para as eleições municipais, onde a coligação adversária está à frente. Segundo informações a pesquisa possui indícios fortes de ter sido forjada. Nossa reportagem tentou contato com pessoas ligadas às duas coligações, adversárias à coligação Tucana, mas ninguém confirmou a informação. Em contato com Lucien Marques, um dos coordenadores da campanha de Teófilo Torres, ele informou que teve conhecimento, mas não poderia confirmar a informação, mas que qualquer pesquisa que seja divulgada e que esteja “forjadamente” diferente das pesquisas semanais feitas pela Coligação "Avança Monlevade" será impetrada ação na Justiça Eleitoral com pedido de auditoria . Caso seja constatada a irregularidade, a coligação irá entrar com uma ação de impugnação da candidatura responsável pela pesquisa.Leia mais no site O Popularjm

Festa Tucana para receber o Governador Antônio Anastasia em João Monlevade
Senin, 24 September 2012 Diposting oleh Unknown di 12.14 0 komentar







Governador lota praça sete em plena segunda-feira
Diposting oleh Unknown di 10.38 0 komentarUMA ANÁLISE DA VISITA DO GOVERNADOR
A visita do governador Antônio Anastasia a João Monlevade foi impactante. Um grande número de militantes com bandeiras do candidato Teófilo Torres se reuniu na praça sete. Algo que há muito tempo não se via. Mais parecia uma resposta ao governo Gustavo Prandini, que tem elevados índices de rejeição. O governador agradeceu o apoio. "Tivemos 70% dos votos e Teófilo vai ter mais de 70%, venho aqui como governador dizer que estamos com ele agora e depois das eleições. Vamos à vitória", afirmou. Já Teófilo Torres agradeceu o apoio. "Com o Governo de Minas vamos avançar sobre os problemas da cidade. Vamos fazer mais por todos os setores, o governador mais bem avaliado do país confirma seu apoio à nossa candidatura", disse.
Um movimento, que se dizia de professores, mas que ninguém assumiu a iniciativa e liderança, com alguns alunos, muitos deles menores e cerca de três professores, tentou atrapalhar o evento. Impossível não notar que existiam mais professores e profissionais da Educação com as bandeiras e botons de Teófilo do que protestando.
No movimento haviam petistas, alunos e um grupo de pessaos ligadas a uma rede social denominada "Transparência".

Na tal manifestação, havia parentes de Gentil Bicalho e, ao lado, observavam tudo, o empresário Elgen Machado, a vice de Conceição, Dorinha Machado e o apoiador da chapa, pastor Waltencir Nascimento.
A visita do governador foi um recado. Simbolizou que o governador do Estado está junto com Teófilo. Quem imagina que pode ser negativa a visita pode estar enganado. Pelo que se nota na cidade, a proporção de votos será equivalente à diferença entre as pessoas que apoiavam Teófilo na praça e os que protestavam.
Quando seguia para a Van, manifestantes tentaram impedir a passagem do veículo que levava o Governador, mas foram retirados pelos seguranças e a Polícia Militar.
Em um ato de bom senso, a coordenação da campanha Tucana, retirou seus militates da Praça e das avenidas, para impedir que os ânimos se exaltassem, temendo por um confronto direto com os manifestates.
Celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship with the new Google for Entrepreneurs
Diposting oleh Unknown di 09.05 0 komentar
Startups and entrepreneurs have the power to build technologies and creative solutions that transform the world and move us forward. Innovation is happening everywhere: There are approximately 400 million entrepreneurs across 54 countries, and 69 million early-stage entrepreneurs offering new products and services. As Google turns 14 this month, we’re celebrating this creative spirit and officially launching Google for Entrepreneurs, the umbrella for our several dozen programs and partnerships around the world that support startups and entrepreneurs.
Our focus is threefold:
We’re already on a roll, with current projects ranging from support for the annual journey of entrepreneurship through India by train, to partnering with a number of accelerator and incubator programs around the world, like iHub in Kenya and Le Camping in France. And, this week, we’re rolling out our newest partnership: teaming up with Women 2.0 to bring their Founder Friday events to more cities. These events bring together current and aspiring female entrepreneurs once a month to connect with mentors and one another to build community. We’re partnering to launch Founder Fridays in Detroit, New Orleans, Sao Paulo and Moscow over the next year.
To celebrate both our birthday and the spirit of entrepreneurship that’s helped get us where we are today, we are hosting our first annual Google for Entrepreneurs Week, which will bring together more than 3,000 entrepreneurs and Googlers around the world. We kicked off over the weekend with a Startup Weekend event hosted at the Google Ventures Startup Lab in Mountain View, Calif., where Bay Area entrepreneurs came together to create their own startups in 54 hours. Over the course of the next week, Googlers in 28 cities across 13 countries will be hosting an event in their communities to bring their passion and expertise to local entrepreneurs. We’re teaming with a number of partners to make this happen, including the Idea Village in New Orleans, Communitech in Waterloo, Tetuan Valley in Wroclaw, the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship in Johannesburg and the Council Bluffs Chamber of Commerce in Iowa.

"Nunca fui tão candidato", diz Teófilo Torres
Diposting oleh Unknown di 05.20 0 komentarO candidato a prefeito pelo PSDB, Teófilo Torres, desmentiu boatos e cartas que estão sendo distibuídas à população de partidários das duas candidaturas concorrentes, de que ele pretenderia desistir. Segundo o candidato não existe nem mesmo sentido tal afirmativa.
"Nunca fui tão candidato. Nossa campanha está é crescendo e estamos nos preparando para realizar as mudanças e reformas que nossa população tanto aguarda", afirmou o candidato, que concluiu. "Estamos focados em projetos, como transformar Monlevade em cidade universitária e resolver os problemas básicos criados nos últimos quatro anos.
O vice de Teófilo Torres, doutor Railton, também reafirmou o que disse Teófilo. "Não faz sentido. Quando fui candidato, durante a campanha, também falaram muito sobre minha vida pessoal, como estão tentando fazer com o Teófilo. Só que desta vez está sendo diferente, o povo quer mudança e sabe que nesta época papel aceita tudo. Estão fazendo isso porque não têm propostas, quem tenta diminuir o outro é porque não tem nada de grande pra mostrar. O Teófilo tá igual bolo, quanto mais bate, mais cresce", afirmou o médico.
Google News turns 10
Sabtu, 22 September 2012 Diposting oleh Unknown di 11.18 0 komentar
Google News launched on September 22, 2002—exactly a decade ago.
Inspired by the widespread interest in news after the September 11 attacks, we invested in technology to help people search and browse news relevant to them. Google News broke new ground in news aggregation by gathering links in real time, grouping articles by story and ranking stories based on the editorial opinions of publishers worldwide. Linking to a diverse set of sources for any given story enabled readers to easily access different perspectives and genres of content. By featuring opposing viewpoints in the same display block, people were encouraged to hear arguments on both sides of an issue and gain a more balanced perspective.
In the last ten years, Google News has grown to 72 editions in 30 languages, and now draws from more than 50,000 news sources. The technology also powers Google’s news search. Together, they connect 1 billion unique users a week to news content.
As we have scaled the service internationally, we have added new features (Local News, Personalization, Editors’ Picks, Spotlight, Authorship, Social Discussions), evolved our design, embraced mobile and run ancillary experiments (Fast Flip, Living Stories, Timeline). In parallel, we have monitored our quality and challenged our engineers to improve the technology under the hood—increase freshness, group news better, rank stories more accurately, personalize with more insight and streamline the infrastructure.
Take a look back at the past decade in Google News through the top stories from each year and a few notable features that have launched in the interim:
It’s undeniable that the online news landscape has changed immensely. Smartphones and social networks have transformed how news is accessed and sourced, and shifted the relationship between readers and authors. Open journalism is the norm, and aggregation by humans and machines is an integral part of the ecosystem. New technologies such as Hangouts on Air have the potential to connect users, journalists and opinion makers and transform how stories are discussed.
Opportunities abound, and we are excited for where we can take this product in the next decade. While change is inevitable, one thing remains the same: our mission is to bring you the news you want, when you need it, from a diverse set of sources.

Anastasia chega na segunda-feira às 13h30 no Real Esporte Clube em apoio à candidatura de Teófilo Torres
Jumat, 21 September 2012 Diposting oleh Unknown di 16.44 0 komentarO capitão Many Sidata Rodrigues e Silva, ajudante de ordens do Gabinete Militar, um dos responsáveis pela segurança do Governador Antônio Anastasia (PSDB), esteve hoje, sexta-feira (21), em João Monlevade para, junto com representantes da Coligação “Avança Monlevade”, acertar os últimos detalhes para a vinda do Governador à João Monlevade, marcado para segunda-feira (24). O horário da chegada, antes marcada para as 11h30, foi alterado e está previsto para às 13h30 no Real Esporte Clube, onde a aeronave, que trará o Governador, pousará no campo do Clube. A assessoria do PSDB em João Monlevade informou que não haverá carreta, mas uma concentração na Praça Sete, no centro de Carneirinhos. Anastasia vem á cidade para reafirmar seu apoio ao Candidato Teófilo Torres. A Coligação “Avança Monlevade”, de Teófilo Torres (PSDB) e Dr. Railton Franklin (PDT), convida toda a população para prestigiar este momento importante para o cenário político na cidade.

Ouvindo o Horário Eleitoral no Rádio: "Taxa Mínima e Trânsito"
Diposting oleh Unknown di 16.38 0 komentar OPINIÃO
Algo muito semelhante entre as propostas das candidatas Conceição Winter (PPS) e Dorinha Machado (PMDB) da coligação “Monlevade em primeiro lugar” e a do atual prefeito Gustavo Prandini (PV), nas eleições de 2008. No plano de governo do atual prefeito constava a construção de uma avenida que ligaria o bairro Vila Tanque, passando pelo Laranjeiras, Loanda e Satélite, para “desafogar” o trânsito no centro de Carneirinhos. O atual prefeito criou a “Linha Azul”, no local onde seria a “avenida” que não saiu do papel. Hoje Conceição Winter e Dorinha Machado falam, praticamente a mesma coisa, porém mudou a avenida passando pelo Parque do Areão e bairro de Lourdes, ao invés do “Teleférico”, proposto pelo atual prefeito. Conceição Winter e Dorinha prometem voltar com a isenção da “Taxa Mínima de Água”, para as pessoas que gastarem até 10m³, o equivalente a 10 mil litros de água. Dorinha Machado em 2009, na época presidente da Câmara, votou favorável para que o governo do Prefeito Gustavo Prandini, hoje apoiador da campanha das candidatas femininas, acabasse com a taxa mínima em Janeiro de 2010. Conceição promete em seu plano de governo, trazer pessoas de fora para tratar do caótico trânsito de João Monlevade, mas isso também foi feito pelo atual governo e não funcionou. Talvez a semelhanças e contradições sejam pelo fato das pessoas que estão por traz da campanha de Conceição e Dorinha, sejam as mesmas que montaram o plano de governo do atual prefeito e que não funcionou.

Arts and entertainment take the stage at our most recent Big Tent
Diposting oleh Unknown di 09.27 0 komentar
What happens when you bring together the head of the Metropolitan Opera, YouTube creators, Comedy Central and Justin Bieber’s manager to discuss the Internet’s impact on arts and culture?
In partnership with the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, our Big Tent in New York City, held this week, fostered a constructive and sometimes challenging conversation that saw more opportunities than challenges for artists through the Internet and technology.
While the speakers recognized the disruptive force of the Internet, they also saw the possibilities that technology creates for artists of all stripes to connect with audiences and tell stories in creative ways. As Scooter Braun, manager to artists including Justin Bieber, said, “I don’t think the music industry has changed as much as people think it has. It starts with music. All we have to do today is study interaction, which is the same thing we’ve always had to do.”
Many speakers saw the Internet as essential to their own creative endeavors. YouTube creators like Michelle Phan, Issa Rae and Julia Nunes all used online platforms to launch their careers.
Newsweek Daily Beast’s art and design critic Blake Gopnik, while seeing benefits to new cultural platforms like Google Art Project, reminded the audience of the importance of appreciating the space that contextualizes a work of art. His message of the communality and shared experience of viewing art live was one that resonated with speakers from the performing arts who stressed that the live experience could not be replicated or replaced by technology.
Google chairman Eric Schmidt made a surprise appearance and emphasized the power of mobile and new platforms to change the way we live. He highlighted how the Internet has led to an increase in content and lower costs of distribution. One of the accompanying challenges, he noted, is how, in this shift to abundant content and cheaper distribution, business models adapt to build audiences and deliver value.
The afternoon ended with drinks under a literal big tent, hosted by Cirque du Soleil, which launched Movi.Kanti.Revo—a new sensory Chrome experiment—to close out the day.
Each Big Tent gives us the opportunity to engage with our audience on the impact of the Internet and society. Our next event is on innovation and entrepreneurship in Seoul, South Korea. Keep up with us at www.google.com/+googlebigtent.

Hanging out for Jewish-Arab dialogue in Israel

Despite the fact that Israeli Arab and Jewish youth live in the same country and even study at the same universities, they often grow up without meeting. When tensions rise in the region, this lack of mutual understanding can lead to stereotyping, hostility and even violence.
We believe the Internet can help break down these barriers. In honor of today’s 30th annual International Day of Peace, we’re partnering with the Peres Center for Peace, a non-profit organization founded by the President of Israel and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shimon Peres. The center promotes cooperation and peacebuilding between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel as well as between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Together, we’ll be holding a series of Hangouts on Google+ designed to enable dialogue between Israeli Arab and Jewish students. “Hanging Out for Peace” is a six-month project that will involve nearly 150 Israeli university students, women and men, with an equal number of Arabs and Jews. Students will be divided into mixed Jewish and Arab ‘circles’, matched with other students who study the same subject at university.
The circles will meet via Hangouts on Google+, led by instructors from the Peres Center, and will undertake online and offline projects related to the circle’s area of academic focus. After a series of Hangouts, the students will meet face to face, present the projects they’ve developed to the larger group of participants and discuss issues that arose during their work together.
The Internet provides a perfect platform for dialogue and cooperation. It can help overcome physical barriers and connect people from different cultures who have shared interests and common values. We’re excited to see how this project develops and hope that, in a small way, it will help foster coexistence and understanding between Israeli Jews and Arabs and, in the future, build bridges between other communities, too.
