Olá, aqui é o prof. William Rossi, 
Sou o criador do projeto “INGLÊS PARA 
CONCURSOS”. 
 Sou professor de inglês e empresário. A 
ideia desse projeto veio da necessidade que 
muitos dos meus alunos tinham de aprender 
inglês especificamente para concursos e provas, 
já que nesses casos a habilidade de leitura e 
interpretação é a mais importante. É difícil 
encontrar material de estudo de forma prática e 
organizada. Os cursos de inglês normalmente 
ensinam de forma global e não somente 
interpretação de textos. Nesses casos o aluno 
precisa pagar aulas particulares, o que não é 
muito barato. Então, devido a essa carência de 
recursos de estudos de inglês específico para 
concursos, decidi criar esse projeto. 
Este material de estudo que você está recebendo 
gratuitamente é uma parte de todo o projeto. 
Muitas novidades ainda estão por vir. 
 Mesmo que você já fale inglês bem, deve 
dedicar um tempo de preparação especifica para 
realizar uma prova de inglês. 
Mesmo falando português, nós sempre 
precisamos estudar quando temos que fazer uma 
prova de português, e com inglês é a mesma 
coisa. 
Você está recebendo 156 questões de de 
interpretação de textos em inglês da FCC 
(Fundação Carlos Chagas) de concursos para 
diversos cargos. O projeto inclui questões de 
inglês de outras bancas como CESPE-Unb, 
Vunesp, FGV, ESAF e CESGRANRIO. 
Isso é só para te dar uma noção da 
quantidade de concursos que incluem inglês na 
prova! E o inglês pode ser o seu diferencial, já 
que a maioria dos concurseiros focam em outras 
matérias. 
E o limite entre passar ou não pode esta 
em uma única questão! 
Esse material é só o começo. Em breve você 
receberá outros conteúdos relacionados ao inglês 
e a preparação para provas.

administrativo 
Parties Split on Data-Protection Bill 
By Jonathan Krim 
Washington Post Staff Writer 
Friday, November 4, 2005; D04 
 
House Democrats and Republicans split 
sharply yesterday over how to best protect consumers' 
personal data, as legislation to curb the persistent 
scourge of identity theft and fraud began to move on a 
fast track on Capitol Hill. 
In a 13 to 8 vote along party lines, a 
subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce 
Committee approved a bill that would require 
information brokers to submit plans for safeguarding 
private data to the Federal Trade Commission for 
monitoring and review. 
The bill also would establish the first 
Nationwide requirement for notification of consumers 
when certain breaches of data occur and would force 
brokers to submit to security audits if their data banks 
are compromised. 
 But Democrats on the panel said the bill was 
filled with loopholes and would leave consumers __51 
protected than they are now. They also accused the 
Republicans of shutting them out of bipartisan 
negotiations, and of making last-minute changes to 
agreed-upon provisions. 
 Under the bill, data brokers and other firms 
that store consumer data would have to notify 
consumers that their information [ TO BREACH ] only 
when it was determined that a "significant risk" of 
identity theft or other fraud might result. 
 That decision would be made by the company 
that was breached, which Democrats said was akin to 
having no requirement at all. 
This year alone, tens of millions of consumers 
have been notified of breaches at information brokers 
such as ChoicePoint Inc. and LexisNexis, financial 
institutions, government agencies, universities, online 
retailers and other firms. 
Many notices were sent out under a California 
law that covers any firm doing business in the state. 
"No notices would have gone out under the 
standard put forth in this bill," which would preempt 
state laws, said Rep. Janice D. Schakowsky (D-Ill.). 
"We would not have known how badly corporations 
treat personal information, nor would consumers have 
been able to take action to protect themselves _ even 
from financial identity theft – if this bill had been in place 
in February 2005." 
Data brokers, direct marketers, financial 
institutions and several large technology companies 
supported the approach of the bill, as did FTC 
Chairman Deborah P. Majoras. They argue that thieves 
or hackers cannot always use data they might gain 
access to, and that bombarding consumers with notices 
every time a breach occurs would cause people to 
ignore them. 
"That concern is disingenuous," Schakowsky 
said yesterday. "The right response to over-notification 
is not to restrict information and to keep consumers and 
Congress in the dark. If we want to stop over-
notification, then corporations need to clean up their act 
so consumers' personal information is not compromised 
in the first place."

An overview of Chicago trains and bus public 
transportation system 
 
Chicago, like any big city, has its share of 
traffic issues, and it can sometimes be very frustrating 
traveling through the city by car. Not to mention the 
scarcity of street parking and the ever increasing costs 
of downtown parking garages, and Chicago public 
transportation starts to look like a great choice for 
getting around town. Fortunately, Chicago trains and 
buses are a great way to get you where you need to go. 
Follow this guide, and you'll be zipping around the city 
in no time. 
Chicago Trains and Public Transportation Basics 
 
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) runs a 
network of trains and buses that service nearly every 
corner of the city. The trains fall under two categories – 
subway and elevated trains (the "L"). A quick look at a 
map of the Chicago train system, and you can see it 
spiders out from downtown and is your best bet for 
getting to most of your Chicago destinations. The CTA 
buses fill in the gaps, running on a regular schedule on 
most major city streets.

Public transport 
 
In many parts of the western world the private 
car currently dominates. But in major western urban 
areas with good public transport systems and where the 
private car ownership and use is discouraged, and also 
in the developing world, where private car ownership is 
prohibitively expensive, walking, (motor)cycling, and 
public transport offer well-used alternatives. Many 
modern cities are investing in public transport initiatives

to increase the attractiveness and usage of public 
transport. A popular transport mode in the developing 
world, and increasingly in the western world, is the 
share taxi (mini-bus, jitney etc) that run on flexible or 
semi-flexible routes. 
Public transport can offer significant 
advantages in areas with higher population densities, 
due to its smaller physical and environmental footprint 
per rider. 
(I) , road-based public transport risks being 
considerably slower than private vehicles if it gets held 
up in general traffic congestion. In addition scheduled 
transport vehicles have to make frequent stops to board 
more passengers and an individual trip may require one 
or more transfers. Routes are often circuitous to 
increase the area serviced by the system. Transport 
Authorities wishing to increase the attractiveness and 
use of public transport often respond by increasing use 
of dedicated or semi-dedicated travel lanes (grade-separated, elevated, or depressed rights-of-way). 
 
History 
Conveyances for public hire are as old as the 
first ferries, and the earliest public transport was water 
transport, for on land people walked or rode an animal. 
This form of transport is part of Greek mythology – 
corpses in ancient Greece were always buried with a 
coin underneath their tongue to pay the ferryman 
Charon to take them to Hades. 
Some historical forms of public transport are 
the stagecoach, traveling a fixed route from inn to inn, 
and the horse-drawn boat carrying paying passengers, 
which was a feature of canals from their 17th-century 
origins. 
The omnibus, the first organized public transit 
system within a city, appears to have originated in 
Nantes, France, in 1826 and was then introduced to 
London in July 1829.

Worm Infects Millions of Computers Worldwide 
By JOHN MARKOFF 
A new digital plague has hit the Internet, 
infecting millions of personal and business computers in 
what seems to be the first step of a multistage attack. 
The world’s leading computer security experts do not 
yet know who programmed the infection, or what the 
next stage will be. 
In recent weeks a worm, a malicious software 
program, has swept through corporate, educational and 
public computer networks around the world. Known as 
Conficker or Downandup, it is spread by a recently 
discovered Microsoft Windows vulnerability, by 
guessing network passwords and by hand-carried 
consumer gadgets like USB keys. 
Experts say it is the K1K1 infection since the 
Slammer worm exploded through the Internet in 
January 2003, and it may have infected as many as 
nine million personal computers around the world. 
Worms like Conficker not only ricochet around 
the Internet at lightning speed, they harness infected 
computers into unified systems called botnets, which 
can then accept programming instructions from their 
clandestine masters. 
Many computer users may not notice that their 
machines have been infected, and computer security 
researchers said they were waiting for the instructions 
to materialize, to determine what impact the botnet will 
have on PC users. It might operate in the background, 
using the infected computer to send spam or infect 
other computers, or it might steal the PC user’s 
personal information. 
Microsoft rushed an emergency patch to 
defend the Windows operating systems against this 
vulnerability in October, yet the worm has continued to 
spread even as the level of warnings has grown in 
recent weeks. 
Earlier this week, security researchers at 
Qualys, a Silicon Valley security firm, estimated that 
about 30 percent of Windows-based computers 
attached to the Internet remain vulnerable to infection 
because they have not been updated with the patch, 
despite the fact that it was made available in October. 
Unraveling the program has been particularly 
challenging because it comes with encryption 
mechanisms that hide its internal workings from those 
seeking to disable it. 
The program uses an elaborate shell-game-
style technique to permit someone to command it 
remotely. Each day it generates a new list of 250 
domain names. Instructions from any one of these 
domain names would be obeyed. To control the botnet, 
an attacker would need only to register a single 
domain to send instructions to the botnet globally, 
greatly complicating the task of law enforcement and 
security companies trying to intervene and block the 
activation of the botnet. 
Several computer security firms said that 
although Conficker appeared to have been written from 
scratch, it had parallels to the work of a suspected 
Eastern European criminal gang that has profited by 
sending programs known as ―scareware‖ to personal 
computers that seem to warn users of an infection and 
ask for credit card numbers to pay for bogus antivirus 
software that actually further infects their computer. 
One intriguing clue left by the malware authors 
is that the first version of the program checked to see if 
the computer had a Ukrainian keyboard layout. If it 
found it had such a keyboard, it would not infect the 
machine, according to Phillip Porras, a security 
investigator at SRI International who has disassembled 
the program to determine how it functioned.

Title:_____________ 
January 26, 2009 
By John C. Dvorak 
It's no coincidence that the computer industry 
peaked around the year 2000, went into a serious 
decline, stabilized at the low point a couple of years 
ago, and has since collapsed again. 
A confluence of reasons is responsible for this, 
but when it comes to the industry bringing this on itself, 
one major event may have taken down the entire 
business. 
I'm speaking about the announcement of the 
Itanium processor. This continues to be one of the great 
fiascos of the last 50 years, and not because Intel blew 
too much money on its development or that the chip 
performed poorly and will never be widely adopted. It 
was the reaction and subsequent consolidation in the 
industry that took place once this grandiose chip was 
preannounced. 
We heard that HP, IBM, Dell, and even Sun 
Microsystems would use these chips and discontinue 
anything else they were developing. This included Sun 
making noise about dropping the SPARC chip for this 
thing — sight unseen. I say "sight unseen" because it 
would be years before the chip was even prototyped. 
The entire industry just took Intel at its word that Itanium 
would work as advertised in a PowerPoint presentation. 
Because this chip was supposed to radically 
change the way computers work and become the 
driving force behind all systems in the future, one 
promising project after another was dropped. Why? 
Because Itanium was the future for all computing. Why 
bother wasting money on good ideas that didn't include 
it? 
The failure of this chip to do anything more 
than exist as a niche processor sealed the fate of Intel 
— and perhaps the entire industry, since from 1997 to

2001 everyone waited for the messiah of chips to take

It did that all right. It took us to the next level. 
But we didn't know that the next level was below us, not 
above.

During his interview with the Financial Times 
last Friday, Celso Amorim, Brazil's foreign minister, 
admitted to feeling tired, frustrated and as if he had a 
bad hangover. "If the party has been good, a hangover 
is OK," he said. "But if it's been a bad party and your 
girlfriend has left with somebody else…" 
Mr Amorim has every reason to look back on 
the collapse of the Doha round of talks at the World 
Trade Organisation in Geneva last week as a grim 
episode. Brazil's leadership of the G20 group of 
developing nations, which briefly showed so much 
promise, has come to nothing. Deep splits in the group 
emerged during the final days of the talks, with India, 
China and even Argentina putting protection of their 
own manufacturers and producers ahead of the 
interests of global free trade. 
Mr Amorim, his team, Brazil and the world all 
deserved …A… , and even in failure and frustration Mr 
Amorim deserves recognition for the statesmanlike role 
he played throughout the talks. Brazil's farmers are 
among the most efficient in the world and they have 
achieved that status with none of the coddling handed 
out to their competitors in developed nations. Brazil has 
the expertise and land − most of it far away from the 
Amazon and other sensitive areas − to supply the world 
with the food it so badly needs. Instead, as Mr Amorim 
warns, what the world will get is more starvation and 
destabilisation.

Brazil's foreign policy: ___TITLE___ 
Brazil is bidding for big-power status. 
What sort of power does it want to be? 
 
It is a small force, but of huge symbolic 
significance. This month, 1,200 Brazilian troops arrived 
in Haiti, the country's biggest foreign military 
deployment since the Second World War. Brazil is 
commanding a United Nations peacekeeping force of 
6,700 mainly Latin American troops and 1,600 police 
which is taking over from American and French forces 
in the Caribbean island. This marks a new departure. 
Brazil has long been a gentle and introverted giant, 
content to be a bystander on the world stage. …34…. 
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the country's left-
leaning president, is carving out a role for Brazil as 
spokesman for poor countries, most notably by 
founding the G20 group which lobbies for rich countries 
to open up farm trade. His government is playing a 
more active role across South America. And it is 
seeking a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. 
"Brazil has begun to flex its muscles as a regional 
superpower," says Miguel Díaz of the Centre for 
Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-
based think-tank. 
If so, it is a paradoxical one. On the one hand, 
Brazil's fondest wish is to mitigate the United States' 
dominance of global affairs and thereby to enhance 
Brazil's influence. The foreign minister, Celso Amorim, 
calls for "a more balanced world" and justifies the Haiti 
mission in part as a step towards it. "You can't be a 
supporter of multilateralism and when it comes to act 
say it's [too] dangerous," says Mr Amorim. 
On the other hand, Brazil's new activism often, 
though …B…, coincides with the interests of the United 
States. Both countries want democracy and stability in

places in the Americas where these seem fragile. In 
some of those places, Lula's Brazil 
has more friends and influence than George Bush's 
more abrasive United States. The two sometimes back 
rivals in these countries, but that is one source of 
Brazil's usefulness. 
Lula did not start Brazil's international activism. 
In recent years, Brazilian troops have joined UN 
missions in East Timor and Angola. In 1996, Brazil 
acted with Argentina and the United States to forestall a 
coup in Paraguay – recognition that the defence of 
democracy in the region should take precedence over a 
tradition of non-intervention in the affairs of neighbours. 
The search for a stable South America has 
long been an axiom of Brazil's foreign policy, but 
demographics have given it greater urgency. Brazilians, 
once described as clinging to the coast like crabs, have 
scurried westwards and northwards. The building of 
Brasília, which replaced Rio de Janeiro as the capital in 
1960, helped to spark development of the interior, a 
process accelerated by an agricultural boom in such 
western states as Mato Grosso. The Amazon, Brazil is 
learning, is both a resource and weak spot, vulnerable 
to guerrillas, drug traffickers and land-grabbers. 
For most of its history as an independent 
country, Brazil saw Argentina as its chief rival and 
strategic threat. That changed with the formation of 
Mercosur, an incipient customs union also involving 
Paraguay and Uruguay. This has allowed Brazil to shift 
much of its army from its southern border to the north-
western jungles near Colombia and Peru. 
Brazil's sense of neighbourhood may be 
widening. Yet, argues Mr Valladão, Brazil has not 
decided what sort of neighbour to be. At times, it 
portrays itself as a team player. In theory, it negotiates 
on trade as a member of Mercosur. But Brazil also sees 
itself as a "whale", with the heft and appetite to act on 
its own. Mr Amorim's answer is that, in a world likely to 
be dominated by blocks, Brazil's best option is to co-
operate as much as possible with its neighbours and 
other developing countries. Whales, he notes, "are 
gregarious animals."

The best of enemies 
On a surprising range of foreign-policy issues, the rivals 
have morphed into each other. But differences remain. 
Vin Weber, a former Republican congressman 
for Minnesota, once joked that Americans treat foreign 
policy much as they treat dentistry – something they 
would rather not think about unless they have to. The 
first three presidential elections after the end of the cold 
war, in 1992, 1996 and 2000, saw …C… discussion of 
the world beyond America’s borders. The economy 
trumped international affairs, the culture wars 
diplomacy. Even in 2004, when America was really at 
war, values seemed to matter much more than abroad 
did. 
This year will be different. Foreign policy will 
define the election almost as much as America’s 
troubled economy. The next American president will 
inherit the most difficult international situation since 
Richard Nixon won power in 1968: two nasty wars, in 
Iraq and Afghanistan, in their fifth and seventh year 
respectively; an Iran bent on acquiring nuclear 
weapons; instability in Pakistan; deeply strained 
relations with a prickly Russia; rivalry with booming 
China; a catastrophic drop in America’s standing 
around the world; and a backlash against globalisation. 
The candidates, Barack Obama and John 
McCain, are the products of different worlds. 
Nevertheless, they see eye-to-eye on many big issues. 
First, both genuinely understand that the next president 
must strive to improve America’s global image. A big 
majority of Americans agree that their country’s 
reputation has been badly damaged in the Bush years. 
This not only makes it difficult for America to exercise 
moral leadership; it also hinders its exercise of hard 
power. In the run up to the invasion of Iraq the Turkish 
government felt obliged to refuse American troops 
permission to operate from its soil. 
 
Things can only get better 
The good news is that either candidate is well-
placed to improve America’s image. And if you are in 
the business of improving America’s brand, there is no 
better way to start than by replacing the current 
president. That said, Mr Obama would clearly do a lot 
more to rebuff America’s image than Mr McCain ever 
could. Some 250,000 people turned out to see him in 
Berlin in July; Mr McCain’s earlier visit to Europe went 
virtually unnoticed. 
Both candidates also advocate specific policies 
that are designed to clear some of the blemishes on 
America’s image. They both propose a policy of cap-
and-trade to deal with global warming, an issue on 
which American leadership has been sorely lacking for 
the past eight years. They both oppose the use of 
torture - Mr McCain with the authority of a man who was 
himself tortured by the Vietnamese. They both want to 
close Guantánamo Bay. 
The second area where the two men have 
more in common than one might expect is the “war on 
terror”. They have plenty of disagreements, to be sure: 
Mr Obama does not go as far as Mr McCain in 
describing it as the defining struggle of the time, and he 
sounds less preoccupied with state sponsors of 
terrorism. But whoever wins the presidency will 
continue to place militant Islam at the centre of his 
foreign policy. 
But for all that they agree on the need for a 
fresh, more multilateral approach, there remain some 
hefty differences between the two men, even if the 
pressures of the campaign have narrowed them a little. 
Most simply put, Mr McCain remains significantly more 
hawkish than Mr Obama. No voter should doubt that, as 
president, he would be more inclined to favour a robust 
approach, whether that be the use of military means, or 
the use of tougher diplomatic ones. 
The second big difference is over diplomacy. 
Mr Obama hopes to use the power of negotiation to 
tackle some of the world’s most intractable problems. 
During the primary he promised to hold unconditional 
talks with America’s enemies, including the theocratic 
government of Iran. He promised to back talks betweenIsrael and Syria in a bid to break Damascus’s military 
alliance with Tehran. He also put a lot of emphasis on

using diplomatic tools to solve the impasse over Israel 
and Palestine. Mr McCain gives the impression that he 
thinks talk has its limits.

Microsoft Update Quietly Installs Firefox Extension 
A routine security update for a Microsoft 
Windows component installed on tens of millions of 
computers has quietly installed an extra add-on for an 
untold number of users surfing the Web with Mozilla's 
Firefox Web browser. 
Earlier this year, Microsoft shipped a bundle of 
updates known as a "service pack" for a programming 
platform called the Microsoft .NET Framework, which 
Microsoft and plenty of thirdparty developers use to 
__[VERB]__ a variety of interactive programs on 
Windows. 
The service pack for the .NET Framework, like 
other updates, was pushed out to users through the 
Windows Update Web site. A number of readers had 
never heard of this platform before Windows Update 
started offering the service pack for it, and many of you 
wanted to know whether it was okay to go ahead and

install this thing. Having earlier checked to see whether 
the service pack had caused any widespread problems 
or interfered with third-party programs − and not 
finding any that warranted waving readers away from 
this update − I told readers __[A]__ 
I'm here to report a small side effect from 
installing this service pack that I was not aware of until 
just a few days ago: Apparently, the .NET update 
automatically installs its own Firefox add-on that is 
difficult − if not dangerous − to remove, once 
installed. 
Annoyances.org, which lists various aspects of 
Windows that are, well, annoying, says "this update 
adds to Firefox one of the most dangerous 
vulnerabilities present in all versions of Internet 
Explorer: the ability for Web sites to easily and quietly 
install software on your PC." I'm not sure I'd put things 
in quite such dire terms, but I'm fairly confident that a 
decent number of Firefox for Windows users are rabidly 
anti-Internet Explorer, and would take umbrage at the 
very notion of Redmond monkeying with the browser in 
any way. 
Big deal, you say? I can just uninstall the add-
on via Firefox's handy Add-ons interface, right? Not so 
fast. The trouble is, Microsoft has disabled the 
"uninstall" button on the extension. What's more, 
Microsoft tells us that the only way to get rid of this thing 
is to modify the Windows registry, an exercise that - if 
done imprecisely -can cause Windows systems to fail to 
boot up. 
Anyway, I'm sure it's not the end of the world, 
but it's probably infuriating to many readers 
nonetheless. Firstly - to my readers - I apologize for 
overlooking this..."feature" of the .NET Framework 
security update. Secondly - to Microsoft - this is a 
great example of how not to convince people to trust 
your security updates.

OpenOffice Installs Insecure Java Version 
By Brian Krebs 
February 4, 2009; 5:30 PM ET 
 
An alert reader let me know that the latest 
version of OpenOffice, the open source alternative to 
the Microsoft Office productivity suite, also installs a 
very old, insecure version of Java. 
Users who accept the default installation 
options for OpenOffice 3.0.1 also will get Java 6 Update 
7, a version of Java that Sun Microsystems released 
last spring (the latest version is Java 6 Update 12). 
This is notable because not only could 
attackers target security vulnerabilities that were fixed in 
subsequent versions of Java, but Java 6 Update 7 was 
released prior to Sun's inclusion of a feature known as 
"secure static versioning," which is intended to prevent 
Web sites from invoking even older versions of Java 
that may be present on the user's system. 
Starting with Java 6 Update 11, Sun included a 
feature that uninstalls older versions, but that 
functionality for whatever reason did not automatically 
remove versions prior to Java 6 Update 10. 
It's not clear why OpenOffice ships with this 
outdated version. For what it's worth, the latest version 
of OpenOffice appears to work just fine with the latest, 
Java 6 Update 12. I've sent a note to the OpenOffice 
security team to find out, and will post an update if I 
hear back from them. 
Finally, I should note that Sun only released 
Java 6 Update 12 a few days ago. However, Sun says 
there are no security updates in this latest version, so 
there is no need to update if all you care about is having 
the most secure version of Java. 
Update, Feb. 11, 3:09 p.m. ET: The 
OpenOffice.org security team responded that the 
newest version of Java caused installation problems 
with the latest version of OpenOffice. The group plans 
to ship the latest Java version with the next version of 
OpenOffice, due to be released at the end of March. In 
the meantime, a version of Open Office without the 
older Java version can be downloaded here

China Orders Patches to Planned Web Filter 
By EDWARD WONG 
 
BEIJING - A designer of censorship software 
that the Chinese government requires to be preinstalled 
on computers sold in China has been ordered to fix 
potential security breaches in the software, the 
newspaper China Daily reported Monday. The report 
was an indication that the government still supports 
use of the software __[CONNECTOR__ heated debate 
over it. 
The software, called Green Dam-Youth Escort, 
has come under attack by many computer users in 
China for both political and technical reasons. 
Critics say that although the Chinese 
government insists that the software will be used only to 
block access to pornography Web sites, the software’s 
actual use will be to block any site with content deemed 
politically objectionable, like the Tibet issue or the 1989 
Tiananmen killings. 
The government says all computers sold in 
China must have the software installed by July 1. 
Early reports had indicated that the 
government might simply require Green Dam to be 
included on a CD packaged with new computers, so 
users would have the option to install it. But it became 
apparent last week that the government was insisting 
that all computer makers preinstall the software by July 
1. Foreign computer makers learned of the directive just 
three weeks ago and have been asking the Chinese 
government to reconsider the rules. 
Some computer experts who have studied the 
software said last week that it was so flawed that it 
could allow hackers to monitor a user’s Internet activity, 
steal personal data or plant viruses. One expert, J. Alex 
Halderman, a computer science professor at the 
University of Michigan, has posted on the Internet a 
report on Green Dam’s vulnerabilities. 
Rather than agreeing to scrap the software 
altogether, the Chinese government has responded to 
the technical criticisms by ordering that the potential 
security breaches be eliminated. 
Mr. Halderman said in an interview last week 
that it had only taken a few hours for him and his 
students to infiltrate a computer loaded with Green Dam 
and force it to crash. A skilled hacker could take over 
the computer to mine personal data or hitch it to other 
infected machinesin a malevolent network known as a 
botnet, he added.

For Inteligence Officers, A Wiki Way to Connect 
Dots 
By Steve Vogel 
Washington Post Staff Writer 
Thursday, August 27, 2009 
 
Intellipedia, the intelligence community's 
version of Wikipedia, hummed in the aftermath of the 
Iranian presidential election in June, with personnel at 
myriad government agencies updating a page 
dedicated to tracking the disputed results. 
Similarly, a page established in November 
immediately after the terrorist attack in Mumbai 
provided intelligence analysts with a better 
understanding of the scope of the incident, as well as a 
forum to speculate on possible perpetrators. 
"There were a number of things posted that 
were ahead of what was being reported in the press," 
said Sean Dennehy, a CIA officer who helped establish 
the site. 
Intellipedia is a collaborative online intelligence 
repository, and it runs counter to traditional reluctance 
in the intelligence community to the sharing of classified 
information. Indeed, it still meets with formidable 
resistance from many quarters of the 16 agencies that 
have access to the system. 
But the site, which is available only to users 
with proper government clearance, has grown markedly 
since its formal launch in 2006 and now averages more 
than 15,000 edits per day. It's home to 900,000 pages 
and 100,000 user accounts. 
"About everything that happens of significance, 
there's an Intellipedia page on," Dennehy said. 
Intellipedia sprung from a 2004 paper by CIA 
employee Calvin Andrus titled "The Wiki and the Blog: 
Toward a Complex Adaptive Intelligence Community." 
Dennehy listened to a presentation by Andrus 
and recalled the skepticism among colleagues about 
adapting Wikipedia to the intelligence community. He 
shared their skepticism. "But something he said 
interested me enough to look into it further," Dennehy 
said. 
Context was also a factor. After the Sept. 11, 
2001,terrorist attacks, intelligence agencies had come 
under intense criticism for failing to pull together 
disparate strands of information pointing to the 
possibility of a major incident.

"We were all doing it in stovepipes," Dennehy 
said. 
Dennehy described 9/11 not so much as a 
catalyst but as a selling point to explain how Intellipedia 
could help collate information. "Cal used 9/11 as a 
backdrop," said Dennehy. "It was really more about 
what was happening on the Web." 
In 2005, Dennehy was given the job of leading 
the effort and persuading the intelligence community to 
use it, a task likened to "promoting vegetarianism in 
Texas" by the Partnership for Public Service, a 
nonprofit group devoted to improving the federal 
government.

OFGEM’S DECISION AGAINST NATIONAL GRID’S 
METERING CASE IS FURTHER ENDORSED BY THE 
COURT OF APPEAL 
 
Ofgem welcomes today’s Court of Appeal 
ruling that National Grid breached the law and acted

anti-competitively in the domestic gas metering market, 
endorsing Ofgem’s April 2008 findings. 
Today’s ruling fully endorses the substance of 
Ofgem’s case, that the multi-million pound contracts 
struck by National Grid with suppliers in 2002 when the 
metering market was opened to competition harmed 
new entrants’ ability to compete and acted against 
consumers’ interests. 
The effect of the Court of Appeal’s ruling is that 
suppliers will be free to renegotiate the terms of 
contracts with National Grid Gas, and it opens the door 
to claims for damages against National Grid by 
competing meter operators, as the competition law 
regime allows. 
Welcoming today’s ruling, Ofgem’s Chairman 
Lord Mogg said ―We welcome the Court of Appeal’s 
endorsement of Ofgem’s decision. This confirms that 
National Grid breached the law and acted anti-
competitively. It is a victory for consumers and strikes a 
firm blow in favour of new and competing entrants in 
Britain’s energy market. Today’s ruling shows that 
energy companies who hold and abuse positions of 
market dominance will face the full force of regulatory 
action and the law.‖ 
Today’s ruling follows an earlier decision in 
April 2009 in favour of Ofgem by the Competition 
Appeal Tribunal. 
 
076. A decisão a que se refere o texto 
(A) é um duro golpe contra empresas que abusam de 
sua posição no mercado. 
(B) permitirá a entrada de novos consumidores no 
mercado energético britânico. 
(C) prejudica possíveis novos fornecedores de 
medidores de gás. 
(D) incentiva consumidores a renegociarem seus 
contratos com a Ofgem. 
(E) possibilita a novos fornecedores de medidores de 
gás que processem a Ofgem por perdas e danos. 
____________________________________________ 
077. Infere-se do texto que 
(A) os contratos assinados pela National Grid em 2002 
não tem validade. 
(B) os consumidores não foram prejudicados na 
batalha entre a Ofgem e a National Grid. 
(C) a National Grid terá de rever os contratos assinados 
com seus consumidores em 2002. 
(D) a sentença do dia 23/2/2010 reforça uma decisão 
similar de 2009.

Subways 
Posted on Friday March 27th, 2009 by Jebediah Reed 
To give some sense of the pace of public 
works construction in China, the city of Guangzhou is 
planning to open 83 miles of new subway lines by the 
end of next year. Meanwhile, New York - a city of about 
the same size – has been playing around with the 1.7-
mile Second Avenue line for decades now. China also 
builds subways rather cheaply - $100 million per mile 
versus $ 2.4 billion per mile in the Big Apple. 
Not surprisingly, projects there are more 
aggressive in all respects: there are 60 tunnel boring 
machines operating in Guangzhou, while only one is 
slated for the Second Avenue project; workers put in 
five 12-hour shifts a week (and if they don’t like it, they 
can go pound glacial till); and seizing property is a 
breeze. 
An article in the Business section of today’s 
NY Times (Clash of Subways and Car Culture in 
Chinese Cities by Keith Bradsher) [VERB] a smart look 
at the forces at play as China goes on a transit 
infrastructure spending spree while it simultaneously 
becomes evermore sprawling and car-centric. 
Here’s one interesting passage, 
[CONJUNCTION] the story is worth reading in its 
entirety: 
Western mass transit experts applaud China 
for investing billions in systems that will put less stress 
on the environment and on cities. But they warn that 
other Chinese policies, like allowing real estate 
developers to build sprawling new suburbs, undermine 
the benefits of the mass transit boom.

Mr. Chan Shao Zhang , a 67-year-old engineer 
in charge of the works in Guangzhou, defended 
Guangzhou’s combination of cars and subways, saying 
that the city built a subway line to a new Toyota 
assembly plant to help employees and suppliers reach 
it. 
Subways have been most competitive in cities 
like New York that have high prices for parking, and 
tolls for bridges and tunnels, discouraging car use. Few 
Chinese cities have been willing to follow suit, other 
than Shanghai, which charges a fee of several 
thousand dollars for each license plate. 
The cost and physical limitations of subways 
have discouraged most cities from building new ones. 
For instance, only Tokyo has a subway system that 
carries more people than its buses. The buses are 
cheaper and able to serve far more streets but move 
more slowly, pollute more and contribute to traffic 
congestion. 
China has reason to worry. It surpassed the 
United States in total vehicle sales for the first time in 
January, although the United States remained slightly 
ahead in car sales. But in February, China overtook the 
United States in both, in part because the global 
downturn has hurt auto sales much more in the United 
States than in China. 
There are many countervaling forces _X_. 
China has passed its own stimulus package and the 
government is eager to put people to work, create 
economic activity, and build modern infrastructure. The 
Guangzhou project is part of major national transit 
buildout. But the nation’s cities are also sprawling 
beasts, and in that sense, more suited to cars than 
trains. Not shockingly, many Chinese prefer the former.
