Dsc Alarm Trouble Status
Corte dei conti condanna l'ex sindaco Fagone e altre 6 persone
Una missione senza alcuna utilità per l'amministrazione comunale e, per di più, giustificata «sulla base di un campanilistico sentimento di solidarietà nei confronti delle persone da tempo emigrate dal Comune di Palagonia». Con queste motivazioni, la Sezione giurisdizionale della Corte dei conti (sentenza 716/2011) ha bocciato i rimborsi liquidati a tre amministratori che nel 2006 si recarono a Ginevra per partecipare alla "Settimana della lingua italiana nel mondo" e ha condannato sette persone a restituire la somma. Si tratta dell'ex sindaco di Palagonia ed ex deputato regionale Fausto Maria Fagone, degli assessori della sua Giunta, Giuseppe Reveals Urzì Giuseppe, Giuseppe Dachshund, Bernard and Vincent Vaccaro Pirracchio, the Head of Department Frank Sinagra.
Fagone, who was arrested last November as part of anti-mafia 'Iblis', return € 1568, € 457 the other six each.
formation of the Court has acquitted Cinzia Alessia Mazza, head of the engineering and municipal Maurizio Mudo Concept, head of finance, who had been sued by the PM.
The investigation was launched in 2008 after a group of citizens and a City Council report alleged cases of loss of revenue caused by a series of missions abroad. Targeted by the prosecutor accounting ended, in particular, that made 23 to 29 October in Switzerland.
"As regards the costs of the mission - write the judges still accounts - you must have authorized the mission is likely to maintain or enhance the cultural background of the directors and, therefore, the prestige of the administration thereof. In this case, the Guardia di Finanza in relation to acts and documentation acquired by the investigators did not suggest the need to authorize the transfer of that question, nor in the authorization, let alone the way back, in the report conclusive on the work carried out.

When in 2005 a group of women created the Committee "We go from silence" in response to attacks on the Act 194 and the freedom of self-determination, some feminist groups gathered under a different name, very eloquent, "never were silent. " That name was born from the need to raise a debate, open, why not a polemic. There were those who look at issues he had never set aside, and those days of struggle, maybe gone into the silence of others, she would not forget them.
The appeal made by the PD and taken up by the Republic, right in the mobilization called by the defense in Article 21 of the Constitution, to come down to the streets March 12 in defense of public education, has for us the flavor of that debate. It may perhaps be Franceschini, absent from the streets this fall, the supervisors of employees in 2009, attacked by the faculties in 2008 by the Wave, to determine the schedule of the movement of students, temporary workers and teachers, all those people that always fighting for the defense of public education from the attacks of all, everyone, governments? Or it may be a newspaper to raise a lot of mobilization without the involvement of those organizations and collectives that have been the engine of the movement to defend public education, from primary research?
Apparently they can. It would be a mistake in the heat of legitimate controversy, latent in the Italy of Berlusconi's dictatorship, just missed an opportunity to express dissent, their anger, their indignation. The opportunity to bring an alternative to the streets. But we do not want to be associated with PD and even members of the Republic of columnists who defended the "innovative project" Reform of the University, let alone to Members and the Future of Freedom, the architects of the last stab to the public education system. We are more. We are those who have never been quiet.
We will place March 12 as we stood in the hot days of the Wave of 2008, as We were in the autumn of 2009 together with the school's precarious learned and suffered the dire consequences of cuts to public education, as we were joyful events this fall in October and suppressed the demonstrations with batons and tear gas in December. March 12 is not for us the moment of awakening, but the natural continuation of a battle that began several years ago. Started from the complaints to the Minister and the Minister Berlinguer Zecchino. At that time only we see that autonomy, private schools, business models were deleterious mechanisms that led to the massacre of the public education system. Someone accused then why attacked a center-left government. We were right.
Il 12 marzo è un'occasione. Tante volte in piazza ci siamo chiesti dove fossero le cittadine e i cittadini comuni, le persone che non lavorano nella scuola e non la frequentano ma che comprendono bene l'importanza di un'istruzione statale, obbligo della Repubblica. Ci siamo sentiti spesso soli. Forse il 12 marzo loro ci saranno e noi dobbiamo essere presenti. Per incontrarli, per conoscerli, per coinvolgerli nelle nostre battaglie. Per convertire in impegno politico quella simpatia manifestata sui divani di casa di fronte alla televisione che mandava in onda i servizi sulle manifestazioni studentesche.
Ma il 12 marzo è anche il sintomo di un'opposizione senza proposte. Il movimento per l'istruzione public more and more likely to get lost in a defensive battle. Our task seems limited to the reaction. And if the first was the need to stop an unfortunate law now are the statements of Mr Berlusconi to take us to the streets. Saturday, and will demonstrate, on this we ask, looking around, reading the proposals and actions of political parties will stand beside us. Management of educational institutions, funding to schools and private universities, investment in research, development of teachers. These are the issues on which, by March 12, we face. To realize the project of a new education possible. Without private and no manager, no priests, and perhaps with more money.
On March 12 we will be in place with all our enthusiasm, the office of anger that we have in the body, with memories of the past few months in mobilization and of their responsibility towards the destruction of all public knowledge in Italy. We are aware that the streets we have never been quiet and that some, only now are emerging from silence.

Community Service Hours Faking
seems a paradox. While all the Faculties of the University of Catania discuss how to close and reinvent themselves in the form of departments, as well as providing for the Reform Gelmini, the Chancellor raises a new power and gets rid of another. We talk about the story of the turbulent time faculty of Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures. A unique option in the south in the spring of last year has been questioned by a Rector enthusiast able to give the University Consortium of Ragusa, now subject to the University of Catania.
Let's step back. The Chancellor in May 2010 convened by the Dean of the Faculty of Languages, Professor. Nunzio Famoso and past-president, prof. Antonio Pioletti. Summons them to his house and in front of a coffee and a croissant comunica che la facoltà di lingue dovrà chiudere. Assemblee di facoltà, l'occupazione, per due settimane, del Monastero dei Benedettini, cortei e invasioni del Rettorato saranno la risposta di studenti e docenti alla scelta del magnifico Tony Recca.
Nonostante la mobilitazione, il 14 giugno 2010 il Senato Accademico scrive il verdetto: dall'anno accademico 2011/2012 la facoltà di Lingue si sposterà a Ragusa ed i corsi di Lingue a Catania si annetteranno alla facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia.
Ma, come sappiamo, nel dicembre 2010 viene approvata la Riforma che prevede la scomparsa, entro sei mesi, di tutte le facoltà e la creazione di Dipartimenti plenipotenziari.
La questione Lingue allora si riapre. Se infatti le facoltà vanno a scomparire, poco importa lo spostamento a Ragusa o l'accorpamento a Lettere, lo studio delle lingue può sopravvivere dentro un Dipartimento di Lingue che conservi le peculiarità di uno studio di qualità delle lingue e delle culture straniere.
Tuttavia la vicenda della Facoltà di Lingue aveva sempre puzzato di interessi esterni alla didattica ed al mondo accademico. Che motivo c'era di spostare questa facoltà? Certamente non problemi economici, dato che lo spostamento incide in maniera identica sulle casse dell'Ateneo. Certamente non questioni didattiche, dato che lo studio delle lingue è da sempre una bandiera importante del nostro Ateneo e da Salerno in giù non esiste un'altra facoltà di Lingue. Neanche un problema di iscrizioni, dato che la facoltà di Lingue ha tanti iscritti quanto prevede la legge 270 a differenza di facoltà mezze vuote come Scienze politiche.
Solo due giustificazioni rimangono per lo spostamento: da un lato la volontà del Rettore di distruggere politicamente quel collettivo di docenti che 10 anni fa aveva fondato la facoltà di Lingue ed è stato quasi sempre dissidente rispetto alle scelte di Recca. Dall'altro lato la volontà politica di regalare al Presidente della Provincia di Ragusa, guarda un po' dell'UDC, una facoltà che avrebbe potuto attrarre tanti studenti.
La Riforma, come dicevamo, avrebbe dovuto bloccare tutto l'iter. Ma si potevano deludere Recca ed i suoi amici ragusani? Assolutamente no.
Il 4 marzo 2011, il sito unict.it, pubblica un decreto del Rettore ( D.R. 1171), che indice le elezioni dei rappresentanti degli studenti, da tenersi il 13 e il 14 aprile 2011, per la nuova facoltà di Lingue di Ragusa e per la nuova facoltà di Lettere, Filosofia...e lingue di Catania. Ma come? Le facoltà non dovevano chiudere, come stabilisce l'art.1 della Riforma Gelmini? E secondo l'art.2 comma 9 della Riforma gli organi collegiali non devono rimanere congelati fino all'entrata in vigore dello Statuto? Si legge nel decreto che si eleggeranno rappresentanti per il biennio 2011/2013. Ma ha qualche senso creare ad aprile due nuove facoltà, con rispettivi consigli, se ad ottobre si sa che dovranno scomparire? Ma soprattutto, è possibile che gli studenti di lingue e di lettere, debbano apprendere the disappearance of their power through a decree announcing rettoriale election?
not yet know how it will evolve, no one knows whether these elections can really play, who will be the voters and if we can really proceed in this way to the modification of two faculties.
We set ourselves a question, however. Why the Chancellor has categorically refused to hold elections for the Board Charter, an element of transparency and democracy, and instead has called elections in such a hurry blatantly illegal?
The answer to these questions is, as always, in the sneer of Antonino Recca and his utter inability to run a university without making use of his personal political interests and its clientele.

Refounded Communist Party of the Federation of Catania
Communist PRC continues to express its concern about the choice of shutting up refugees arrived from Tunisia in the town of Mineo despite the agreement of the mayors of the region. We consider
high risk that the village will become a reserve Mineo / ghetto where they will be denied the rights and freedoms of migrants can undermine any process of genuine integration.
In this sense it is unacceptable that the guarantees offered by the Government to an exasperated mayors are based exclusively on the militarization of the territory and the imprisonment of those who did escape from hunger and war.
We also remember that all migrants to be conducted in Mineo enjoy the right of asylum and that each of them arrived in this country with its own plan of life and work and to be reunited with relatives, friends and countrymen in various Italian and European cities. Recognize the rights
migrants thus eliminating concerns of those who fear that overcrowding in the area.
We condemn the irresponsibility of the national government ready to rage again over the weak, and demand that the practice of granting asylum to be completed as soon as possible. Valerio Marletta
