Mardi Gras plans for Great Yarmouth
What does Great Yarmouth have in common with Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans? Norfolk's premier resort is rightly proud of its beaches but none has quite the magic ring of the Copacabana. And while Yarmouth's historic King Street may be an evolving cultural melting pot, it is scarcely on the scale of the Big Easy's French Quarter. However, the three ports will soon have something other than the seaside in common - Mardi Gras. Yarmouth's SeaChange Arts group is inviting the public to help it create the town's very own “Fat Tuesday” or “Greasy Tuesday” celebrations on Pancake Day, February 16. SeaChange Arts chief executive Joe Mackintosh stressed that inspiration for the new event was not coming from Latin America or the Deep South but Yarmouth's own Portuguese and Lithuanian migrant communities. He said: “In Portugal they have a range of Mardi Gras traditions from food fights to Brazilian-style carnivals, while in Lithuania, customs include burning the effigy of a fat lady to symbolise the death of winter and fights between a fat man and a thin man, with the thin man winning, to mark the arrival of spring.” The fiesta will be centred on King Street to capture the atmosphere of the area's mix of Portuguese and East European shops and cafes. “In future years, we see King Street as being a hub of our Out There festival so in some ways it will be a warm-up for that. And by February, the first phase of road works in the street's £8m regeneration scheme should be finished,” said Mr Mackintosh. The East Coast in winter would struggle to compete with the balmy climate of New Orleans or the tropical heat of Rio, so a parade in scanty carnival gear would not be the order of the day. “We want to bring King Street to life. We'll be looking to have fun with pancakes and there will be music and street entertainment, possibly some with a French flavour to reflect out partnership with French street festivals,” said Mr Mackintosh. There would also be cooking demonstrations and Suffolk-based French celebrity chef Franck Pontais had expressed an interest in taking part. Mr Mackintosh stressed there would be opportunities for community involvement and invited people to contact SeaChange Arts on 01493-846550 with ideas they might have. “It is likely to be in the afternoon or early evening so there will be the chance for schools to take part,” he said.
Survivors of Amazon plane crash discharged from hospital
Nine survivors of a plane crash in Brazil's Amazon rainforest have been discharged from hospital and returned to their homes, the air force said on Saturday. The military plane, carrying four crew members and seven health officials, went missing on Thursday during a flight from Cruzeiro do Sul, in northwestern Acre state, to the Amazonas town of Tabatinga, which borders Colombia and Peru. The passengers were undertaking an immunization campaign in indigenous communities, said a spokesman for the National Health Foundation (FUNASA) in Cruzeiro do Sul. According to the survivors, the plane stopped in mid-air and the pilot plunged the plane into the Itui river in the far western Amazon region. The Brazilian Air Force said that divers continued to search the river for two missing people. It was still unclear what caused the crash.

Rádio e Internet juntas
In the age of digital audio, what does good old-fashioned radio still have to offer?
Teca Lima, the voice of RadarCultura, consults the Web site before talking into the mic.
Teca Lima, the voice of RadarCultura, consults the Web site before talking into the mic.
Plenty, according to the creators of RadarCultura, a community-based Web site and a daily three-hour AM radio program broadcast from Brazil's São Paulo.
"Radio is 'now,'" says 22-year-old Brazilian André Avorio, who implemented the Web site.
"[Radio] is generally quick and live. This adds a special dynamic to the medium. Moreover, it is still one of the most popular means of mass communication in Brazil. Combining it with the power of the Internet can result in many new possibilities."
RadarCultura is an experimental project of the Padre Anchieta Foundation to promote public participation in audio-visual programming, eventually aiming to fuse its radio, television and Web programs into a single interactive, real-time platform.
Like many online music sites, RadarCultura is always looking for new music and emerging talents, but its primary focus is to preserve the memory of the Brazilian repertoire by resurfacing classic, forgotten or unknown songs.
The Padre Anchieta Foundation also happens to boast the biggest archive of Brazilian music in Brazil, including more than 15,000 songs dating from the 1920's to the present.
"Making it easy to search through the vast archive of songs was an important feature since version one of the Web site," says Avorio.
Producer Alceu Maynard observes two types of RadarCultura members: "There are people who listen to the show because they are fans of Brazilian music. There are others who like to produce the content on our site -- they collaborate actively with suggestions, playlists and all aspects of programming."
Meanwhile, RadarCultura team members Alceu, speaker Teca Lima and project manager Lia Rangel are busy podcasting interviews, moderating conversations, blogging, twittering and keeping the site relevant.
Old media gets new blood
True to its non-visual origin, RadarCultura's Web site is strictly text-based, with icons that link to votes and streaming audio. And true to its Web-based platform, the site has adopted, and adapted, all Net-native systems for its daily operations.
The site itself runs on the free Drupal content-management system, which allows content to rank and flow according to input and feedback from the site's online community.
Members who wish to contribute their own audio material to RadarCultura's archive must either podcast it themselves first, or else they may upload it to the U.S.-based Archive.org to clear it of online rights.
Given the quantity of music aired from the ever-expanding repertoire, copyright issues are the most common pretext to negotiation, most notably with ECAD, a privately owned civil society for the collection and distribution of copyright managed by 10 Brazilian music associations.
Online, however, RadarCultura distributes the entirety of its streaming content under a Creative Commons license.

* Special report: Digital Biz
The team has also been experimenting with the free CoveritLive software to enable live blogging, chatting and Twittering among audience, presenters and guests during its online coverage of radio and TV events, including the popular Roda Vivo TV show.
RadarCultura's first live event coverage in February 2008 was of Campus Party Brasil, a seven-day tech-fest that saw people camping out in tents with broadband cables while sharing ideas and technological innovations.
In April 2008, RadarCultura struck again with its live coverage of Virada Cultural, Brazil's largest cultural event, including art performances and exhibits in the streets of São Paulo during 24 continuous hours, attracting some 4 million people.
"I came up with the idea of inviting the audience to report directly from the streets using their mobile phones," says Avorio.
"A telephone system was installed, and the calls from the participants were automatically recorded. Our non-stop production team listened to every recording as they arrived and not only immediately published them online but geo-localized them on an interactive map of São Paulo.
"It was RadarCultura's first truly collaborative coverage, as the audience produced most of the interviews and reviews, of not only the main attractions of Virada Cultural, but also the very obscure ones that otherwise would not be covered by the mainstream media."
Next: Music for the masses, on demand
But still much remains to be done with RadarCultura's original content -- music.
"Due to legal restrictions, it has been very difficult to exploit many of the possibilities previously imagined for the RadarCultura Web site, like listening online to playlists or to the thousands of songs in the archive," Avorio reflects.
"Live radio has been a great success and will remain so for a long time, but it is now clear the value of on-demand content -- whenever you want it, wherever you are, on whatever device you have handy -- from the iPod to your mobile phone."
RadarCultura's Web site not only introduces Brazilian music and culture to the international online community, it brings its programming well beyond the limited broadcasting range of the station's native São Paulo to the rest of Brazil.
In a nation notorious for violence rooted in social inequality, the democracy of the Web -- not unlike radio -- is a welcome new medium of communication.
"Certainly São Paulo is the most 'wired' city in the country, but the Internet and the possibilities associated with it have reached the most distant towns," says Avorio.
"It is amazing the value that such a technology delivers to a country in a fast development pace such as Brazil -- from education to more subtle ways of social inclusion."
For Gioconda Bordon, Padre Anchieta Foundation's radio coordinator, RadarCultura's most memorable moment took place on December 17, 2008, when the program celebrated its first anniversary.
"We had here in our studio the great composer Tom Zé, a very well-known musician, singing and talking live with a very young singer, Mallu Magalhães, a teenager, actually," she recalls.
"The listeners were as happy as we were and, of course, as moved as the two artists were. It was a day in our history."

Indigenas encontram avião caído na amazônia
(CNN) -- Indigenous Indians located nine survivors of a plane that crashed in a river in the Amazon rain forest with 11 people onboard, according to the Brazilian air force.
The nine passengers were in good health, the air force said Friday.
Of the two people missing -- a passenger and a crew member -- one is believed to be dead. The air force did not provide further details.
The plane was on its way to deliver health supplies Thursday when it crashed. It had taken off from Cruzeiro do Sul in Acre state and was headed to Tabatinga in Amazonas state.
The plane landed in the Itui River between the tribe settlements of Aurelio and Rio Novo. Indians of the Matis tribe, who live in Aurelio, initially located the plane and alerted the Brazilian air force, which sent search planes to the site.
Before the passengers were located, at least eight aircraft had been dispatched for the search operation, the air force said.
Members of the Matis, an indigenous tribe of about 300, live deep in the rain forest.
Other area tribes were helping in a search for the two missing passengers along the shores of the Itui.

Os nove passageiros estavam passando bem, mas dois ainda estavam desaparecidos, um passageiro e um tripulante sendo que um deles acredita já está morto. Nada mais falou a força aérea.
O avião estava em seu caminho para entregar suprimentos de saúde na quinta-feira quando caiu. Ele havia decolado de Cruzeiro do Sul, no estado do Acre e foi dirigido a Tabatinga, no estado do Amazonas.
O avião pousou no rio Ituí, entre as povoações da tribo Aurélio e Rio Novo. Índios da tribo Matis, que vivem no Aurélio, localizaram o avião e avisaram a Força Aérea Brasileira, que enviou aviões de busca para o local.
Antes que os passageiros foram localizados, pelo menos oito aeronaves haviam sido despachadas para a operação de busca, diz a força aérea.
Membros do Matis, uma tribo indígena de cerca de 300 índios que vivem no fundo da floresta tropical e outras tribos da área estão ajudando a encontrar os dois passageiros desaparecidos ao longo das margens do Ituí.

Evangelical march in Brazil draws 1.5 million
About 1.5 million evangelical Christians joined Brazil's annual "March for Jesus" on Monday, an event sponsored by a church whose leaders recently returned after being imprisoned in the U.S. for money smuggling.
Now in its 17th year, the march unites faithful from hundreds of evangelical churches and attracts dozens of Christian bands, preachers and local celebrities.
It is organized by the powerful Reborn in Christ Church, whose leaders said they had hoped to draw 5 million people to gather around a central Sao Paulo plaza where the main stage was located.
Hundreds of thousands followed Estevam Hernandes Filho and his wife, Sonia Haddad Moraes Hernandes, along the 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) route of the march, and still more gathered at the plaza.
Police estimated late Thurday that around 1.5 million people turned out for the event.

Banco Santander's Brazil Unit Raises $8 Billion in I.P.O.
SAO PAULO — Banco Santander’s Brazilian unit raised raised 14.1 billion reais , or $8.05 billion in a record initial public offering in Brazil and the largest I.P.O. on a U.S. exchange in 18 months.
The bank, formally known as Banco Santander (Brasil) SA, sold 600 million units at a price of 23.5 reais each, according to a filing with Brazil’s securities regulator.
The size of the float will likely prevent the stock from having a robust first day jump on Wednesday, said one analyst.
“Most people that wanted the stock, got the stock,” said Francis Gaskins, president of research firm IPO Desktop. “The size of the deal sopped up a lot of the demand.”
The bank had filed to sell 525 million units, with each unit representing 55 common shares and 50 preferred shares, but the offering was increased 75 million units to meet demand from investors.
Santander priced the IPO in the middle of its expected range of 22 reais-25 reais in Sao Paulo, while U.S. traded shares were priced at $13.50 each, according to an underwriter of the offering.
“Looking at the long term prospects for Santander, which are very bright even considering short term challenges, the shares are fairly valued where they are,” said Morningstar equity analyst Maclovio Pina, who had set a fair value price of $13 for Santander’s U.S. traded stock.
Trading of the shares on Wednesday “would be more based on demand than where the fundamentals are heading,” he added.
The IPO capped months of torrid activity in Brazil’s stock market, which had 21.76 billion reais in share sales since late June. The offering also benefited from growing appetite for emerging market securities that has helped push the benchmark Bovespa index 68 percent higher so far in 2009.
Santander Brasil, a unit of Spain’s Santander, will list the units in the form of American depositary shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BSBR” and in Sao Paulo under the symbol “SANB11.”
The I.P.O. was the largest ever for a Brazilian company, beating the offering by credit card processor VisaNet in June and the biggest in the world since Visa Inc.’s offering in March 2008.
Santander Brasil surpassed the I.P.O. by China State Construction Engineering Corp, which raised $7.3 billion in July.
Santander is the third largest private-sector bank in Brazil by assets, with a 10.2 percent market share, behind Itau Unibanco and Bradesco.
The bank has expanded with six takeovers in Brazil over the past 12 years, including the acquisition of Sao Paulo state bank Banespa in 2000 for 7 billion reais.
Santander purchased ABN Amro’s Banco Real unit in Brazil in 2008 as part of its €70 billion bid for the Dutch firm with Royal Bank of Scotland and Belgian-Dutch Fortis.
The Brazilian unit has emerged as one of the most profitable parts of Santander, accounting for 20 percent of its net income in the first half of 2009.
Banco Santander expects net I.P.O. proceeds of $6.8 billion, and will use about 70 percent of the funds to expand its network of branches and install automatic teller machines. It will also use some of the proceeds to improve its capital ratios, according to its U.S. regulatory filing.
Banco Santander had 3,603 full-service branches and smaller service centers in Brazil as of December 2008.
In the six months ended in June 2009, Santander’s Brazilian unit reported net interest income of $5.5 billion and profits of $1.25 billion.
Resumo: SAO PAULO - a unidade brasileira do Banco Santander levantou levantou 14.1 bilhão reais, ou $8.05 bilhões em uma oferta pública inicial gravada em Brasil e o I.P.O. o maior em uma troca dos E.U. em 18 meses. O banco, conhecido formalmente como o SA do Banco Santander (Brasil), vendido 600 milhão unidades a preço de 23.5 reais cada um, de acordo com um arquivamento com o regulador das seguranças de Brasil.
