Slovenia - ponders painful reform in general election / Slovinsko - uvažuje bolestivé reformy vo všeobecných voľbách

Published on Dec 4, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Once the fastest growing euro zone member, Slovenia is struggling badly with the impact of the crisis as it goes to the polls.

Opinion polls suggest former prime minister Janez Jansa is well placed for a return to office. His centre-right opposition is promising to cut the budget deficit, create jobs and raise the retirement age - currently among the lowest in the EU at 57 for women and 58 for men.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Taking orders from someone who has less experience is galling, but there is no other choice. You'll have to exercise terrific restraint. Find an outlet for your frustrations. A book club, foreign language class, or political campaign will give your brain the workout it needs. The picture isn't totally grim. You'll get an award or cash prize for maintaining grace under pressure. It's nice to know the powers that be appreciate how diplomatic you've been.
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Romance surrounds you at every turn. Admirers can't resist your earthy sense of humour and languorous sexuality. If you're already in a relationship, schedule a luxury holiday with your amour. The two of you will have a great time in the mountains, viewing the world from a lofty vista. Single? You could meet someone special at a pottery class, public garden, or gourmet restaurant. The chemistry between you will be irresistible.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) It will be impossible to reason with a pushy relative. Put some distance between you, or you'll say something you will regret. Fortunately, your best friend or romantic partner is giving you lots of support. Lean on them when your patience grows thin. Money from an inheritance or refund allows you to make some beautiful improvements to your home. Go ahead and buy some expensive furniture, artwork, or kitchen appliances.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Disappointing news about your health or a job forces you to alter your plans. It looks like you're going to have to change your habits in order to protect your interests. Avoiding certain foods, adjusting your sleeping patterns, or taking a class will be difficult, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices to move forward. A loving friend or partner will help you make this transition. Ask them to help you stay focused or you'll slide back into the old ways.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Buying someone's loyalty isn't very satisfying. You have been blessed with warmth, humour, and creativity. If these traits aren't enough to win someone over, that's too bad. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Devote your time and attention to people who appreciate who you are, instead of what you provide. A good job that pays well will fall into your lap. Take this opportunity to update your wardrobe with beautiful, stylish outfits and accessories.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Resist the urge to push someone into a decision they aren't ready to make. Your heart and head are in perfect alignment, but that's not the case for your friend. The best way to promote their welfare is to provide plenty of space. Ultimately, their choice could disappoint you, but try not to dwell on what might have been. A lovely opportunity to showcase your creative work is coming. Focus your energies on putting forth the best show possible.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A romantic interlude restores your spirits. You're tired of friends interfering with your private life. By keeping the two worlds separate, you'll feel much calmer. Resist the urge to reveal a secret to someone you've just met. Although you're bursting to share this privileged information, it will only get you in trouble. Keep this knowledge to yourself, so you can use it to get an edge on a rival. It may be the only way to get a job or plum assignment.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Resist the urge to spend lots of money on a group outing. You're better off putting your hard earned cash into an interest bearing savings account. If you keep adding to this fund on a regular basis, you'll be able to afford a long distance trip. Good news from a friend is cause for celebration. It looks like you'll be celebrating a wedding, a new arrival or other family get together very soon. Your relationship with a neighbour or relative will improve, too. Take this opportunity to start a new chapter together.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) This is a great time to promote new ideas, but don't expect the powers that be to jump on board. They don't want to make changes to an existing structure. The only way they'll pay attention to your proposal is when it goes viral. Publish an article on a popular website, or make a video and put it on YouTube. These days, it's easy to do your own advertising. Use the Internet to showcase your talent. Pretty soon, you'll be able to make a handsome profit from this brainstorm.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your wit, charm, and sophistication gives you access to an impressive institution. People love being seen in your company. You're sure to get several invitations to glamorous parties. Take this opportunity to buy some special outfits for these occasions; you should look your best. A jealous teacher will try to feed your insecurities. Your former guru can't stand the fact you have surpassed their abilities. Take their comments with a pinch of salt. It might even be best to break off your relationship altogether.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Money from a government agency, university, or commercial institution allows you to finance a dream. This is a great time to apply for grants and scholarships. Resist the urge to ask a friend for a loan, or your relationship will take a terrible hit. Aligning yourself with a foreign based company or organisation is strongly advised. This institution will showcase your talent in a way that brings you additional clients. Depend on them to handle the publicity while you focus on the work that makes you happy.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You're a superstar on the work front. Don't be surprised when your boss singles you out for a promotion, raise, or award. If you've been looking for work, you could land a great position with a legal firm, publishing house, or university. Providing the public with valuable information gives your ego a boost. Unfortunately, someone who is close to you won't be very supportive of your new position. You'll have to reassure your best friend or lover of your loyalty.

Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira (Belém, 19 de fevereiro de 1954), o Doutor Sócrates, Doutor, Magrão, mais conhecido como Sócrates, foi um dos melhores jogadores de futebol do Brasil e um dos maiores ídolos do Corinthians ao lado de Luisinho, Cláudio, Roberto Rivellino, Neto, Marcelinho Carioca dentre outros. É irmão de Raí, outro famoso futebolista. Hoje exerce a medicina, além de ser articulista da revista CartaCapital e comentarista do programa Cartão Verde da TV Cultura.unanimidade em uma pesquisa realizada, em 2006, pela Revista Placar para escolher o "time de todos os tempos" do Corinthians. Novamente, a única unanimidade, em uma pesquisa com especialistas, para escolher os dez maiores ídolos da história do Corinthians. Eleito em 1983 o melhor jogador sulámericano do ano. Escolhido pela FIFA em 2004 como um dos 125 melhores jogadores vivos da história e considerado por muitas pubicações especializadas, como CNN, World Soccer e Placar, como um dos grandes jogadores de todos os tempos, foi um atleta reconhecido por seu estilo elegante. Uma característa do jogador que marcou sua passagem pelo futebol foi a sua habilidade e uso inteligente do calcanhar. Mas era um jogador completo, marcava gols de falta, de cabeça e fora-da-área com frequência. Dava assistências perfeitas para seus companheiros marcarem muitos gols.Foi revelado pelo Botafogo, clube de Ribeirão Preto, onde foi considerado um fenômeno desde o início, pois quase não treinava em função de frequentar o curso de medicina na Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto (USP). Nesse time ele foi campeão do 1º Turno do Campeonato Paulista de 1977 e artilheiro do campeonato. Também se destacou no Campeonato Brasileiro, autor de um célebre gol de calcanhar contra o Santos em plena Vila Belmiro.Socrátes se firmaria no Corinthians em 1978, refazendo a dupla com seu ex-companheiro Geraldo Manteiga. Mas seus grandes companheiros de ataque nesse time seriam Palhinha e o amigo Casagrande. Sócrates só aceitou jogar para valer depois que se formou na faculdade de medicina. Na Seleção Brasileira estrearia em 1979.Foi uma das estrelas de dois dos maiores esquadrões do futebol mundial: a Seleção Brasileira de Futebol da Copa do mundo de 1982 e o Corinthians da década de 80. Teve ótimas atuações, marcou dois belíssimos gols nos jogos dificílimos contra URSS e Itália, e mostrou toda sua categoria. Mas não foi o suficiente para o Brasil se sagrar campeão.
Na Copa do Mundo de 1986 estaria novamente em ação, mas já fora de forma ideal. Ficaria ainda marcado pelo penâlti desperdiçado contra a França, na decisão que desclassificou o Brasil.Depois de uma rápida e decepcionante passagem pelo Fiorentina, prejudicado pelos companheiros de quem suspeitava que manipulassem resultados, Sócrates retornou ao Brasil para encerrar a carreira aonde atuaria ainda no Flamengo, no Santos e no Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto. Em 2004, atendendo a um convite de um amigo, ele participou de uma partida com a camisa do Garfoth Town, equipe da oitava divisão da Inglaterra.Fora do futebol, Sócrates sempre manteve uma ativa participação política, tanto em assuntos relacionados ao bem-estar dos jogadores quanto aos temas correntes do país. Participou da campanha Diretas Já, em 1984 e foi um dos principais idealizadores do movimento Democracia Corintiana, que reivindicava para os jogadores mais liberdade e mais influência nas decisões administrativas do clube.
