text: Massa suggests gym for Raikkonen if he is to take on very strong Alonso 11 November, 2013 Felipe Massa with Stefano Domenicali, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen on the podium in Barcelona after the Spanish GP As Ferrari held a farewell party for the departing Felipe Massa at Mugello over the weekend, the Brazilian warned Raikkonen to be fighting fit for his duel with Fernando Alonso next year. "Kimi and Ferrari know each other very well already," Massa is quoted by La Repubblica. "But he is not very familiar with Fernando, so I think he should [go to] the gym and get ready," he smiled. "Fernando is a very strong driver, very strong. It will not be easy for [Raikkonen]." The Auto Bild and Italiaracing publications are reporting that Massa's deal to move to Williams next year, to replace Pastor Maldonado, is now effectively done. It is believed the deal will include the sponsorship of the Brazilian oil company Petrobras. But Massa insisted: "I will go on as a driver, not to plug the holes in someone's balance sheet."

RPT-Swiss opt for Saab's Gripen fighter jets - paper
(Repeats to additional subscribers)
ZURICH Nov 30 (Reuters) - Switzerland has chosen to replace its fighter jet fleet with Swedish defence and aerospace group Saab's JAS-39 Gripen, Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources close to the government.
Neutral Switzerland has wrangled for the past three years over whether to replace its ageing Northrop F-5E/F Tiger fighters, purchased in 1976 and 1981, with up to 33 new aircraft.
Saab shares were up 8.5 percent to 117.10 Swedish crowns by 1345 GMT after the newspaper report.
The newspaper said the cost of purchasing 22 jets would be about 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.3 billion), 1 billion less than the same number of rival models would cost.
In September, the Swiss lower house of parliament approved a 5 billion francs defence budget for 2013 to finance a 100,000 strong army and the purchase of new fighter jets.
Other bidders included the Rafale built by french company Dassault Aviation and EADS's Anglo-German-Italian Eurofighter Typhoon. ($1 = 0.9207 Swiss franc) (Reporting by Caroline Copley; Editing by Dan Lalor)

Exclusive: Alcoa launches $1.25 million internship program (Video)
Send this to a friend
- Justine Coyne
- Reporter- Pittsburgh Business Times
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
On Monday, the Alcoa Foundation presented Catalyst Connection with $125,000 to fund a new workforce development initiative aimed at providing training and internship experience for unemployed youth.
It's part of a global $1.25 million internship program that will serve 500 students in eight countries over the course of the next two years. Alcoa Inc. Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld announced the launch of the program Monday at Alcoa's North Shore office as part of the company's 125th anniversary celebration.
"To educate and train young people well is fundamental for allowing them to create their own future," Kleinfeld said. "This is critically important for the individual as much as it strengthens the communities they live in."
Catalyst Connection President Petra Mitchell said the nonprofit will rely on its partnership with the Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board and other area workforce investment boards target at-risk 18- to 24-year-olds and place them on a path toward a career in manufacturing.
Mitchell said the program will provide participants with pre-employment training, such as developing soft skills, and move forward through internship placement and career planning.
Scott Hudson, principal manager for social responsibility and community outreach at the Alcoa Foundation, said over the course of the two-year period the program spans, it will provide internships to 50 young people in the Pittsburgh region.
Hudson said Catalyst Connection is an ideal parter because of the nonprofit's deep knowledge of manufacturing and workforce development as well as its connectivity with small- and mid-sized manufacturers. He said while a small number of internships will be with Alcoa, participants will mostly be placed with smaller manufacturers.

Durham's ELF-maker opens manufacturing site in California
Send this to a friend
- Lauren K. Ohnesorge
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Organic Transit, the Durham outfit behind those buzzed about bike-hybrids dubbed "ELFs," has opened a second manufacturing facility, this time in San Jose.
CEO Rob Cotter tells me the facility, which opened last week, is already fully staffed, but that a few Durham team members may have a California move in their future.
And why San Jose?
"It's like the epicenter of electric vehicles," he says.
Click here for a slideshow of an ELF car.
Cotter was among entrepreneurs pitching his company to investors at Wednesday's CED Tech Venture Conference, driving an ELF into the conference room to applause. The vehicles, he explains, bridge the gap between a bicycle and a car and work off of something more efficient than gas: "sunlight and calories."
Legally, the Made-in-the-USA vehicles are labeled bicycles and they get an equivalent of 1,800 miles per gallon using zero carbon. The bicycle labeling means more accessible parking in urban areas and possible applications in the service industry. Imagine the impression a pizza delivery firm could make zipping through a bike lane in a large city.
Cotter, who has had previous stints at BMW and Porsche, started this sustainability quest in 1982. That's when he built a pedal only tricycle that could achieve 61 miles per hour. ELF, in production for less than a year takes it up a peg, aiming to offer the weather protection of a car with the sustainability of a bicycle.
In its first six months in production, Cotter says the company has generated $1 million in revenue, raised $1 million in investment, and has opened the production facilities in Durham and San Jose. With 200 units already sold, the company projects profitability at 300 units delivered. And Organic Transit isn't finished. The company anticipates scaling to 5 facilities in the next 18 months and plans to release new models. Next stop? European distribution and double digit growth, he says.
