Lawyers, also called attorneys, act as both advocates and advisors in our society. As advocates, they represent one of the parties in criminal and civil trials by presenting evidence and arguing in court to support their client. As advisors, lawyers counsel their clients about their legal rights and obligations and suggest particular courses of action in business and personal matters. Whether acting as an advocate or an advisor, all attorneys research the intent of laws and judicial decisions and apply the law to the specific circumstances faced by their clients. (bls.gov 2008-05-08)
Law education prepares students to become attorneys, judges, public servants, teachers or administrators in government or the private sector.
Although there is no recommended "prelaw" undergraduate major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically—skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the law. Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful. Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting. (bls.gov 2008-05-08)
Acceptance by most law schools depends on the applicant's ability to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of law, usually through undergraduate grades, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the quality of the applicant's undergraduate education, any prior work experience, and sometimes, a personal interview. However, law schools vary in the weight they place on each of these and other factors. Most schools require that applicants register through the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). This service provides schools with information on transcripts, LSAT scores and letters of recommendation in a standardized format. For excellent LSAT practice tests please visit the SLED Testing and Education Reference Center. You will want to choose "Graduate School" once you select the Testing and Education Reference Center link.
Law school consists of three years of graduate level study. Instruction includes classroom lecture and discussion, considerable outside research, and practice of courtroom procedures. Upon graduation, students must pass a state bar exam in order to practice.
Students interested in a legal career can see a pre-law advisor through the Academic Advising Center to discuss program planning and professional schools. Faculty in the Political Science and Justice departments are also familiar with the rigors of law school.
There are some universities that offer specific scholarships for Alaskans.Ā One is the Alaska Scholarships at Seattle University.Ā This competitive award is designed for Alaskans interested in studying law at SU and is a renewable award for up to three years.Ā A number of institutions also offer scholarships for particular areas of study or that target students from certain backgrounds.Ā Researching information on scholarships at different institutions in an important part of the application process.

Senescence is a natural process that most of us will have to go through, but that doesn't mean that we can-not do so while having a quality life. In this matter, among the most talked-about material is called resveratrol. It commonly comes from the skin of red grapes but berries and peanuts are superb sources as well. The next paragraph plans to help you acquire more knowing about resveratrol health benefits.
Not too much time ago, research conducted in Canada shown that supplementing with resveratrol can help the skeletal muscle in the same fashion to endurance training. The topics with this study were rats and they all demonstrated an enhancement in cardiac endurance, function, and oxidative metabolic rate. That is also the reason why this supplement can be being linked to weight-loss.
Recent lab evaluations reveal that among the potential resveratrol health benefits include the prevention and therapy of cancer, notably in the breast and prostate. The spread of cancer cells may be effectively prevented by fixing DNA cells and keeping cancer cells from having their own blood supply. Resveratrol might also help dilate blood vessels and this could end up being favorable for people with ed.
Contained in the record of resveratrol health benefits is enhanced cardiovascular health. Routine supplementation with this particular antioxidant has been proven help in the prevention of plaque development, thereby preventing the formation of blood clots. Cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke are usually a result of the coagulation of blood in the arteries and veins.
Resveratrol supplementation can also possess a beneficial effect in the semblance of your eyesight. Gradual loss in eyesight is normal in aging, but resveratrol is well known to make it slower significantly. By regulating the occurrence of angiogenesis, any abnormalities in blood vessel growth can be prevented and therefore preventing harm to eyesight. This anti oxidant may also help improve blood circulation to the mind.
In the midst of all benefits of resveratrol, some of the most talked about is its anti-aging properties. Research workers claim that resveratrol has the capacity to activate the survival defense enzyme of a mobile and this goes the time for cells to repair broken DNA. It may also offer some defense against Alzheimer's disease by protecting neurons from damage and the accumulation of plaque.
For those with diabetes, among the main concern is resistance to exubera since this hormone helps in stabilizing glucose levels. With resveratrol, this resistance to exubera can be avoided. For people that are used to high-calorie food diets and live an unhealthy life-style, taking this nutritional supplement can negate its effects to some small level, although more studies are required to truly support this in human subjects.
One of the resveratrol health benefits you can also look forward to is an improved mental sharpness due to the increased blood flow to the brain. By means of the research conducted on mice, those that received subjunction demoed a rise in memory perform and overall mental functionality. Doesn't it seem pleasant to also have those benefits yourself?

I like to keep a slim profile when I shop, so I usually carry minimal cards, etc. I was looking for a RFID protected case for my credit cards and found this. I am pleased with it overall, but it needs a velcro or other closure in my opinion. The flap folds over, but I don't feel it is secure enough when I pull it out of my purse.

Before you head out on the road, make sure your car's tires are in good shape and that they can withstand the heat.
Check the air pressure in your tires: It's recommended that drivers check their tires' pressure about once a month. Driving on under-inflated or over-inflated tires can have serious consequences when driving. Under-inflated tires are at risk of blowing out because there is more pressure and more heat building up in the tires. Over-inflated tires can prevent the tire from really making full contact with the road.
Do a visual test: Look for any bulging, uneven wear patterns and cuts in the tires. These can allow you to catch tire damage before it turns into a serious incident on the road.
Check the tire tread: Make sure your tires are not overly worn by checking the tire tread about once a month. This can be done easily with a tire gauge or ruler. Experts say tire tread under 3/32 inches in unsafe.

It is of crucial importance for the development of certain mature immune cells and enhanced antibody production. A new study has found that the number of cells secreting interferon gamma correlated with serum DHEA levels in men, and that the activity of these cells was associated with DHEA in premenopausal women. Thus, DHEA appears to be involved in the modulation of cytokine production. The same is true for one of its metabolites, androstenediol, which has been shown to protect bone marrow function and resistance to infection following exposure to radiation in rodents even more effective than DHEA. Androstenediol was also shown to protect against lethal infection with influenza A virus. Since infection produces an increase in cortisol, which in turn suppresses the immune system, it would be logical to try, this counterregulate immunosuppression with antiglucocorticoid as DHEA. One of DHEAS main functions is to maintain a strong, effective and youthful immune system. increase muscle strength and lean body mass, activate immune function. Another study published from Brazil supports the notion that aging associated with decreased production of DHEA causes a reduction in the immune function.

Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland camera, a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles. Very small amounts of it are found in foods such as meats, grains, fruits, and vegetables. You can also buy it as a supplement. Melatonin is also known chemically as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is a naturally occurring compound found in animals, plants, and microbes. In animals, circulating levels of the hormone melatonin vary in a daily cycle, thereby allowing the entrainment of the circadian rhythms of several biological functions. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pinealocytes in the pineal gland (epiphysis) a part of the midbrain of serotonin and controls the day night rhythm of the human body. Chemically, it is an alkaloid tryptamine structure. Many biological effects of melatonin are produced through activation of melatonin receptors, while others are due to its role as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant, with a particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. People use melatonin to adjust the body's internal clock. It is used for jet lag, for adjusting sleep-wake cycles in people whose daily work schedule changes (shift-work disorder), and for helping blind people establish a day and night cycle.

Testosterone is known as a male sex hormone, but women have levels of the hormone in their system as well. Upping your levels of testosterone the hormone that has a big influence on how much sex men and women want and whether or not you can successfully act on those desires could give your sex drive a definite lift. Low libido in men or low sex drive is a common symptom of andropause. Just as low levels of testosterone can inhibit erectile function, testosterone has a strong effect on sex drive in men. Women's testosterone levels gradually go down as they age, and lower amounts of the hormone can lower muscle mass. One of the main causes of low libido in men is low testosterone levels. Testosterone is the hormone of desire. Men who are low in testosterone can suffer from low libido and erectile dysfunction. Testosterone is a hormone that amps up sex drive, sperm production, bone density, and muscle mass. Many men worry about declining sex drive as they age for good reason.

Your Blog was awesome i like your information which one you provide with me it's very useful for me.
Pity, sometimes merger is a good thing, especially if the merging companies want this to happen and both of them can benefit from it. Like in case of Polish fertilizers companies http://blog.pulawy.com/en/rynek-polski/azoty-group-almost-here-an-agreem... good deal for both companies
1st I don't see how the merger made sense for EADS and BAE - for BAE yes, but not for EADS. At least not with the planned 60/40 split - should have been more like 80/20, considering the, pension liabilities, order books and so on. In the end, this 'merger' would have resulted in desaster, comparable to the epic fail of Alcatel-Lucent.
2nd, pray tell, why didn't the brits and french agree to Merkels demand that the HQ of the group should be allocated in Germany? Their refusal to accept this was the true deal breaker. After all, France would have kept the civil HQ and the UK the military HQ.
The germans would have been left with nothing in terms of jobs and power. Just a few shares. Would this have been in the best interest of the Geman electorate she is sworn to?
Certainly not. So Merkel was completely right to kill this stupid 'merger'.
It appears you got a bit excited about the nobel peace prize for the EU. Did you think that the rest of the world is like brainwashed sheep which blindly falls for all the lies spewed by EU's political and media elites?
"Comedy, of course, depends on timing, and the timing of this award couldn't be more piquant
As soon as news of the award broke, Twitter convulsed with merriment.
That assessment overlooks the E.U.'s minimal role in resolving the hostilities that the process of reconciliation is meant to address. It failed to prevent war in Bosnia, the region's one major conflict since the E.U. was founded, could not stop that war and had little impact on its outcome."
"Twitter convulsed with merriment"
So what? You care about what's written on Twitter, Facebook and so on? I don't.
Well actually I care about the facts which the article noted about the EU being powerless to stop the Balkans war despite contantly bragging about keeping the "peace" in Europe.
Hello there was a war raging on European soil in the Balkans in the 1990's.
Prehaps it is the EU's disconnect with reality that produced so much of amusement to the rest of the world. There is a free press outside of the halls of the EU you know.
Ofcourse to add top my previous jibe on the British Government I should turn things round a bit. Why on Earth did the French and Germans ( or do I mean Europeans? ) not see this as a God sent opportunity to get the Brits back into the fold ( organically so to speak ...) or are they all so utterly parochial as the whole Euro "debacle" so clearly shows?
@ Author of this article:
What a great title - succinct, funny, with some military connotations, and also offering a hint as to who might have been the stumbling stone. Perfect!
Couldn't all this money have built an island in the North Sea halfway between Britain and Germany where this new company could have been headquartered?
The collapse of the proposed merger between BAE Systems and EADS will shift the focus now to smaller deals among global weapons as defence companies strive to keep revenue streams rising in the face of cuts to military defence budgets in America and Europe.
Analysts do not foresee mega-deals of this sort on the horizon for now – the proposed contract between Britain, France and Germany on the BAE-EADS deal was said to be worth around $45 billion. The failure shows how easily a deal of that scale can be derailed by the competing interests of different countries, despite the commercial sense it would have made.
Major defence companies will likely focus on partnering with smaller players such as Rockwell Collins, L-3 Communications Holdings Inc, SAIC Inc or ITT Exelis and Harris Corporation. American companies don't seem that eager to grow in defence – perhaps in an attempt to secure their base – while many overseas companies have been chastened in watching the BAE-EADS deal falter.
The scope of consolidation in the defence industry largely hinges on how Congress deals with the $1.2 billion in mandatory budget cuts to start in 2013. Half of those cuts are for defence and, given that, one would have to assume that mergers and acquisitions will remain slow if not a low political priority.
Worldwide aerospace and defence deals total just $5 billion so far in 2012, compared with $27.5 billion in 2011.
The collaborative effort by BAE and EADS to create the world's biggest aerospace and defence group underscores the effect of shrinking markets on big weapons makers. Other major companies are scrambling to move into adjacent civilian or commercial markets or in finding smaller takeover targets to keep revenues growing. BAE's American unit is looking for possible mergers in the areas of cyber, intelligence, security, and within the electronics and international side of businesses.
The U.S. Department of Defence has discouraged mergers among its prime contractors, but has stated it is fully anticipating takeover consortiums among second- and third-tier suppliers, given the expected decline in defence spending in the coming years.
With all of the talk about 'normalizing' EADS' governance structure- if the takeover of BAE by EADS had gone ahead- so that the new company's board did not continue to have France and Germany's governments' representatives and proxies on it... what is missing from the discussion/reporting in the main stream media is an acknowledgment of EADS's functioning very well- for many years- with its current model of governance...
FRANCE & GERMANY CONTROLLED EADS is extremely highly regarded world wide, very profitable and has no shortage of fully-funded projects in the company's saleable aircraft and related products pipelines... projects that most analysts believe will lead to substantial sales and revenue generation for decades to come...
Largely due to the imminent substantial decline in defence spending among its major customers (US, UK, etc), BAE's future defence-related revenue prospects are poor...
Considering the above- and the reliably large annual taxes EADS directly and indirectly contributes to France & Germany's coffers, why would French and German politicians and bureaucrats want EADS' governance model to be changed from its current, plainly effective model??
Interesting article describing pervasive France govt stakes in that country's SUCCESFUL & PROFITABLE mega defence and aerospace firms, IE: Thales, Snecma, Safran, Dassault & DCNS:
Roderick V. Louis,
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Take away Germany and France's life support and EADS would vanish in less than a year. Its not a real company and should not be treated like one in the business world. It should be broken up.
Actually both EADS and BAE are just non-competitive SOEs controlled by politicians.
Actually,I don't understand why the British government want to intervene the merge.Are they really afraid losing the control of its military industry?As we know,BAE is the world's second largest military corporation ,just next to Lockheed Martin.So if the merge is successful,the new company will be the largest defensive company in the world,which will definitely affect the America's interests. The British government is just a follower of the Americans,which means it must consider the interest of USA government.UK don't belong the Europe in a way.Its central interests always have deep relation with the USA.
As a conclusion , it is no wonder that this merge failed.The main reason is the conflict of interests between USA and Europe.
The Brits are just mooching poodle in the eyes of the Europeans.
Yes, we don't want Europe to have advanced weapons, so that they won't be able to fight us when we invade them. That is the real reason why the merger failed. We are grateful for your perspicacious insight and explanation ... Is there anything else you wish to share with us?...
You don't have to worry on that. Europeans are now falling behind even the Russian and Indian in producing 5th generation stealth planes. Unless US prices the F-35 exports more moderately, Europe especially the hard-up PIGS may have to turn to other cheaper suppliers.
Who needs to waste money on stealth airplanes when you have passive radar as the best export item ever. Tough fiscal times make asymmetric warfare surprisingly sexy.
Didn't you read the article - It was the Germans who said NO to the merger.
However old habits die hard don't they?
What will you do without the Brits to scapegoat.
"As it is UK and France defense budgets allow them to be present on a number of extra-European theaters."
You are of course referring to the Balkans? Libya?
Got the Americans to do the dirty work to solve European problems and now you portray Europeans as the victims? LOL
As soon as Tripoli fell, Sarkozy rushed to libya to secure his oil contracts.
Lets not even get into the Balkans in the 1990's when Europeans shirked their responsiblities while a tin pot dictator from tiny Serbia went crazy with ethnic cleansing and genocide-Sebrenica on European soil.
Tell us again how morally superior Europeans are because even though they did nothing while men, women and children were slaughtered right under their noses in mass graves on European soil in the killing fields of the Balkans, they are morally superior to Americans because they don't have the death penalty for henious crimes like murder.
Sometimes I wonder about the moral compass of the European left.
It was reported that Zionist Sarkozy got his re-election dole from Gaddafi. But in the interests of the Oil sisters, he had acted to support the Salafists who have shown their true color by finishing off a few American neocons in Benghazi & now, Yemen. Unless the philandering dude wants to enjoy the 72 more virgins in paradise, he will make himself scarce in those places even though he may be thinking of peddling more arms sales to the Wahabbis.
"Tell us again how morally superior Europeans are"
For me to say it again I'd have to say it first, which I never did.
However let me oblige. Yes we are (that's one) and yes we are. (that's two).
Now you can go back to rewriting history.
"Now you can go back to rewriting history."
Isn't it you who has rewritten history by whitewashing the fact that Europeans did nothing while men, women & children were slaughtered right under their noses in mass graves on European soil in the killing field of the Balkans in the 1990's.
Isn't it you who has rewritten history by whitewashing the fact it was American power which finally put an end to that slaughter with the Dayton accords which still holds the peace in the Balkans today.
And you think the Europeans who produced fascism and nazism, not to mention the Hitlers & Mussolinis are morally superior?
Simply hilarious. You must need a lot of rewriting of history to come to this conclusion.
BTW, the rest of the world has noticed that Europe cannot go for a few decades without producing homegrown genocidal tyrants.
The last homegrown genocidal tyrant popped up in the Balkans barely 2 decades ago.
Can you let us know in advance when the next genocidal European tyrant will pop up?
Sure looks like it could be in Hungary or Romania with all the hatred directed at the Roma. Oh my goodness, attacks on Roma, Roma houses burnt. Sure looks like another Kristallnacht is in the works.
Yes, Europe is ready for its next homegrown genocidal tyrant.
"and buy American, yes, we know."
No to buy European weapons. Knowing how protectionist the European market is, especially the French there is no way in hell American firms can hope to benefit.
Whitewashing Europe's protectionist policies while demanding that the American market be open to European military firms?
When will France open up its market to American military firms?
You seem to have a double standard, so whats new?
Would you kindly support your assault with a few figures?
A cursory search showed multiple rocket launchers and Buffalo armored vehicles, guess they were smuggled in.
However over 99% of French military hardware is from European firms.
Thanks for the figure, now for the source.
And also for US military procurement... of course... snicker, snicker.
Like the great refuelling plane hoax...
Do you see any Americans whining that Europe should open up its markets for US weapons.
So what is there to snicker?
However there is ample reason to snicker at people like you who want a protectionist European market while demanding that the US open up its markets to European weapons manufacturers.
"And also for US military procurement..."
Didn't you read this article?
An European company BAE had 40% of its sales in America.
So America is purchasing plenty from European companies while Europe's purchases of American military firms is meagre.
Can you name any American company that has 40% of its sales in Europe?
Case closed.
"An European company BAE had 40% of its sales in America."
A British company. Most UK citizens would be offended by your subtle innuendo...
By the way, "A European"
You are entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts.
The fact is BAE is an European company, and if you chose to distort this fact to suit your ideology like Stalin did, that is your business but it doesn't mean we have to acccept your untruths.
Who appointed you God to decide who is and who is not an European?
Oh, here you're stretching a couple of centuries of American philosophy. I cannot be God of course, self-appointed or otherwise, since we all know God provides only for the States.
God bless America.
Once more: A European. A.
And what has this got to do with the FACT that BAE is an European company?
And what has this got to do with the FACT that you cannot name any American company that has 40% of its sales in Europe?
Nothing, but since logic fails you and you don't get sarcasm, I just enjoy reading you dropping all-caps words and wrong articles before consonant sounds in pointless comments...
The eurofascists are chewing bricks because their antediluvian, pre-democratic holy roman empire has slipped out of reach once more.
Ave maria. Kaputt :)
A – ha – ha – ha – ha – ha – haaaaa !!!
Damn. They opened the kindergarden again.
Imagine that... EU-outopter Norwegians just assigned the Nobel Peace Prize to the EU. They must be eurofascists too.
Who will pry the cold dead fingertips off the shiny new gun?
Seems like some Roger Waters' lyrics...
German Companies do not merge with British Companies. They buy them.
Yes so do the brits http://www.euromoney.com/Article/1007961/Vodafone-andMannesmann-The-bid-...
Hats off for Merkel!
I'm disappointed of the prestigious magazine "THE ECONOMIST" The article is written from a narrow British perspective.
Why should France and Germany allow that their defense HQ moves to the UK? Imagine the British defense HQ moves too Berlin or Paris.. How would the government react? Plus a deal of 60/40?
Please.. EADS is financially and strategically way more powerful than BAE.
Germany did again very well! One of the reasons why it is the by far the strongest economy in Europe!
How arrogant, plenty of misplaced patriotism on display.
This deal would benefit all three countries and give Europe a backbone for defence. EADS will not survive as a defence company except for specialist items now as this merger was its only real hope of doing so. If the government continues to say 'nein' to sensible market moves the company wants to do then eventually it will cease to be profitable. Even the French recognised this!
* "BAE is superior to EADS as a defence company".
"give Europe a backbone for defence"
Unfortunately Europe exists only as a monetary union and the failure of this deal is another proof.
We are speaking of an aggregation of countries which never went and never will get together well.
Back to topic, the completion of this merger would have added value to both BAE and EADS shareholders, but conflicting politic interests once again prevailed over common sense
"This deal would benefit all three countries and give Europe a backbone for defence"
What can you mean by "Europe"?
Surely you cannot a political entity, like the one those unpopular bunglers of the dictatorship in Brussels are trying to foist on the continent in such a spectularly counterproductive manner?
Sure, their "EU" would have liked to have had an armaments conglomerate to give it "backbone" and an army even in order to pretend that it has created a nation, but who would sign up to it, where would it find willing conscripts?
Deary me, you have got your knickers in a twist over this thing. The proposed idea, as the article made quite plain, was to have the combined EADS-BAE corporate headquarters for defence (in English it is spelled with a 'c,' by the way, unless you are American) located in the U.K., not Germany's Bundesministerium der Verteidigung, nor France's ministère de la Défense. These latter two are ministries that are responsible for forging the defence policy of both nations and were one or either of them to move to the U.K. it would be strange indeed.
You are quite right to point out that the British government would not be pleased if the UK Ministry of Defence moved to Berlin or Paris (I am supposing here that this is what you meant by your sloppily-paraphrased 'defense HQ'), but that is not what the EADS-BAE tieup would have entailed, nor what the article was implying. If the EADS-BAE corporate headquarters for defence had moved to the U.K., what would that have meant? Would it have compelled the French or German ministries to recommend purchasing from that corporation? Of course not. They could have gone to Thales, Rheinmetall AG, or - why not? - a non-European company for whatever they might need, much as the Indian government may purchase howitzers from BAE, or the Taiwanese government AEGIS tracking devices from an American firm.
If you are unable to distinguish between consolidations in the private and public sector then I suggest you take your comments to another forum. I also hope that, in future, you avoid tackling four subjects (the politics of The Economist, defence at state level, arms manufacturers, and the state of the German economy are surely separate topics, not so?) in a comment that barely lasts nine (not very informative) lines. Your inarticulate patriotism and unsubstantiated opinions do not qualify as intelligent commentary.
I only meant it from a competition angle (Large Euro defence company vs 2 Large American defence companies means European countries wont get screwed by American defence companies).
I only meant it from a competition angle (Large Euro defence company vs 2 Large American defence companies means European countries wont get screwed by American defence companies).
I knew what you meant and was surprised that you wrote it, because elsewhere you concur that there is no "Europe" in the national sense of the USA, the latter being a nation that can therefore build conglomerates for its national economic and military interests.
Europe lacks a nation large enough to build "Large Euro defence company", it being an aggregate of smaller conflicting nations as you mentioned, and which no amount of social and economic engineering by Brussels is going to overcome. Meanwhile its efforts to do so bankrupt the entire continent.
Some contributers here, presumably continental Europeans, are alarmingly fast and loose with this this empty word "Europe", whether discussig economics or the military.
Always amusing to see some Americans claiming to be paying good money to give Europe "free protection". Protecting us against whom: Iran? Israel? North Korea? Cuba? The reason America has military bases and missile sites all around the world (including in Europe) is as a deterent against any attack on America -- by Iran, Cuba, etc.
I agree. They are using Europe's security as an excuse for their financially irresponsible military spending and vast military complex. But the truth is: Europe is meanwhile a mere hub for geostrategic power projection to the middle east, but not a zone that has an immediate threat that it cannot handle itself. So it is to a large degree self-interest, with some mutual benefits.
What the defense industry in the US probably is not interested in: if you push Europe towards a 100% self-reliance, they will align their defense policies finally and spend their combined 320 bn less on overpriced American hardware and more money on self-developed capabilities, thereby also creating a challenge to US contractors in the defense equipment markets worldwide. Europeans did challenge their large US rival in civil aviation, why not elsewhere.
There is an interesting US poll about that topic. The views in the comment section are pretty interesting.
Got news for you.
When the Iranian mullahs get nukes, it will be Europe that will come within their range. Not geographically isolated America protected by two vast oceans.
Cuba? Please its military is not even capable of attacking El Salvador. No more communist Soviet Union to back up Cuba anymore.
Yeah ... um ... troops if Eastern Germany sure are helpful against Iran and Cuba. Gotcha.
American protection isn't free, but it's very cheap for Europe and perhaps a major component in the 6-decades of peace that Europe has enjoyed since the calamitous first half of the 20th century. I'd like to hear your interpretation of were the last 6-decades of peace (compared to the historical norm) within Europe's core came from.
Umm, NATO? Doesnt the US spend more there than any other country?
And given that US defense spending will be declining over the next two years, doesn't it make sense that US prime contractors will be more aggressive looking for NATO-related deals? EADS' standalone defense business (about E2bn not including JV's w Typhoon and missles) appears too small to compete with that. Seems to me Germany is sentencing the business to a slow decline - a microcosm of the way they're treating the rest of Europe.
"I'd like to hear your interpretation of were the last 6-decades of peace (compared to the historical norm) within Europe's core came from".
I'd say more 3 decades. And we thank you very much.
Now that your ego is satisfied, do you mind coming back to the present?
3 decades?
It was American power that put an end to the slaughter in the Balkans in the 1990's with the Dayton accords which still holds the peace in that unstable part of the world.
Hilarious how Europeans have erased this recent history just like how Stalin used to erase bits of history that didn't suit his ideology.
Europe cannot go for a few decades without producing homegrown genocidal tyrants.
The last one popped up in the Balkans barely 2 decades ago with ethnic cleansing and genocide-Sebrenica on European soil.
With all the news about attacks on the Roma in Hungary and Romania, sure looks like Europe is getting ready for its next homegrown genocidal tyrant.
You only get 3 decades accounted, because at least 50% was self-interest.
We get the 6 decades peace attributed.
The Nobel Prize committee said so.
We'll send a few bottles of champaign over to your imperialist power projection club table, though, don't worry.
Again, the Germans are screwing things up, just like in the Eurozone. They'll be the first to talk about deeper integration and the need to all work together, but when push comes to shove, they'll just look selfishly at their own, narrow interests. Thank you Mrs.Merkel for truly doing everything you can to make Germany look as bad as possible.
A perspective that can only be fully appreciated when you sit in a pile of cherry-picked bilateral treaties and spend money generated by tax evader account interest.
Ms. Merkel not good enough? I look forward to a Chancellor Steinbrueck participating Basel Carnival in a Cavalry costume instead.
Don't be hard on Swatchland. Besides legally stealing, which still has required some intellectual skills, they practically showed the world how you do not need huge armies and expensive defense systems to avoid war and invasion.
And regardless what the Swiss like to boast about their perfect representative democracy, EU law has heavily impacted on their normative framework. Soon they will have to abide to some obscure EU law regulating the size and texture of confettis to throw, on account of safety and possibly environmental grounds. You must have some sympathy for the formerly-isolated-come-global.
Don't worry, the Swiss are nice people who are polite, clean, precise, surprisingly polyglot and are world leaders in individual happiness so they can't be that wrong and have my deepest respect. Yet, the most significant of all traits is that they really stick to rules. Where it gets problematic is if they stick to wrong rules such as the Bankgeheimnis (bank account secrecy). Criticize that and you got a werewulf that you need to fix somehow before you get bitten. I am still puzzled how the banking industry lobbied the whole thing into a matter of national interest over decades (and how long the rest of the world acccepted it). But apart from that I actually do admire the advantage of their representative democracy and understand why they are so fond of it. I clearly remember when they had a referendum at the beginning of the 2000s and voted to keep nuclear energy. A thing I would have wished for in Germany. Actually some elements of Swiss democracy like referendums could be a very good example of how the EU should do it in order to keep EU citizens connected to what's happening at the top and it would increase legitimacy. It makes people stop complaining when they had a true say on topics that are affecting their daily lives, even if they "lose" their referendum. Much better than just a cross in a circle every 4 to 5 years.
As usual, the Brits don't care too much about the political national interest if there is an economical advantage. The germans only care about their short term political interest and their partners can drop dead. The French like internationalisation, provided they have a majority. And the common long term european interest is forgotten...
Agreed, except lets not forget that the French were willing to go with this one ultimately.
Hmmm. The article says the Germans had been hoping to hide behind the French to scuttle the deal. I wonder if the exact reverse did not occur. The French Socialist Govt was taken aback by the chance announcement - not a way to treat a touchy shareholder - and it is no news that the EADS CEO wants his public shareholders out or declawed, not something that resonates well with the ruling left. Add to it the disproportionate bonus and weight given BAE, and the flurry of sops to the US customer, and what you witnessed was not a major Euro defense giant being born, but a major chunk of Euro defense industry being pulled out like a bad tooth and anchored to extra-Euro interests.
I would wager Hollande was even more cool and relaxed than usual when he got Merkel's "nein" on the phone.
Maybe the so-called "long term European interest" is so easily forgotten just because it exists no more than does Europe itself.
For all their denials, the Germans cannot conceive of continental Europe - GB is simply beyond their consideration - but as their dominion.
The current imbalanced European economy is the result of: a. the irresponsible tactics of Germany in 2003, when Schröder pleaded the cause, and won it, of a weakened stability pact in their own sole interest (creating the conditions of today's debt crisis); b. the subsequent German development on an export-based economic model at the expense of a debt-driven southern Europe. Now they can blackmail their "partners" and undermine projects including any state that could challenge their continental policy.
What the Kaiserin Angela the first is fancying is a Europe that, thanks to the job-market reforms she is bullying her "partners" into implementing, would ultimately become a Chinese like factory at the disposal of the German industry.
And the common long term european interest is forgotten... because there is no "europe", isn't that plain enough?
I am glad that the deal broke through, it would be a shame to see yet another great British company being taken over by a foreign enterprise. All that would happen is EADS with their majority share/influence would close British operations and move jobs from the UK to the continent. As for those who make the "running to the Americans" jab - Maybe if other European countries were to actually pull their own weight in NATO operation such as Afghanistan then BAE would have more of a market to sell to in Europe than the States.
So you're invoking more idiotic involvement in Afghanistan to increase UK jobs. Great idea!
No I am simply pointing out that European NATO members who aren't pulling their weight is contributing towards a declining defense market. Therefore BAE is depending more and more on the States as a percentage of market share.
That defense markets decrease is just good news. And Europe should do more to legally, economically and politically push for further reductions.
Why would you consider declining defense budgets across Europe as good news? Are you not a European citizen?
Yes, but not a big believer in deterrence.
then you believe in being invaded.
By whom exactly?
EADS employs 10's of thousands of people in the UK to make wings for Airbus. It is more likely that these jobs will go now with the merger collapse. The merger was going to protect UK jobs not lose them.
Well, the next time the Balkans blows up, you can take care of it all by yourself.
Don't come running to the Americans to solve European problems like you did last time the Balkans blew up in the 1990's.
Europe couldn't even take care of a tin pot dictator from tiny Serbia and did nothing while ethnic cleansing and genocide-Sebrenica raged on European soil.
It was the USA that had to come in to put an end to that slaughter and enforce the Dayton peace accords which still holds the peace in the Balkans today.
Europe couldn't even maintain a no-fly zone over Libya without American help. However as soon as Tripoli fell, Sarkozy rushed to Libya to secure his oil contracts.
Remember Libya? It was Italy that had thousands of Libyan war refugees landing on it soil, not America
It was the Europeans who depended on Libyan oil.
Europe lives close to all the unstable hotspots in the world. Middle-east, Russia, North Africa, dysfunctional former Soviet Asian republics.
Syria is on Europe's doorstep, not America's and I gather the Syrian conflict is spilling over to its neighbors. Turkey has already clashed with Syrian forces.
Don't come running to the Americans as you always do to clean up European problems.
You honestly believe that a merger would have protected UK jobs?
As with any merger or takeover of a British company, eventually the foreign owners protect their own work force from cuts (Germany & France) and instead we would get the blunt end of the stick.
Why is EADS likely to move production of Airbus wings from the UK then? The article has already mentioned that EADS have sound finances.
This isn't the 19th century, countries aren't just 'invaded' in this day and age. European military strength is still a force to be reckoned with.
My point was that Airbus is a French/German operation and carries the risks you previously entailed (those jobs move to France/Germany). If however it was 40% owned by a UK company then it is more likely that this would not happen. This is why jobs are protected by merger, airbus jobs are protected.
Ok I understand the point you are making. Lets hope that EADS don't pull out of the UK in any case.
They could make wings for Boeing instead.
Well said!
1. Thanks for sharing your take on what US foreign policy should be; unfortunately for you, I'm not expecting anything you said about "next times" to come through anytime soon. That the US sticks around Europe has nothing to do with selflessness or altruism, and it depends on reasons that have probably little to do with ethnic cleansing or slaughter of innocent civilians, despite the humanitarian narrative and land-of-the-free crap. If US foreign policy was true to its humanitarian rhetoric, you would have been meddling for the last two decades in around 30 countries of various sizes worldwide, from tiny places like the Comorres Islands to sizable Darfur to massive Russia. Truth is, the US goes where it chooses to go based on interests, military feasibility (at reasonable costs), and domestic acceptability. So, next times the Balkans blow up, the US will go about it as per a script you had not role in redacting.
2. I hope you are not suggesting that Milosevic would have taken over Europe, if let alone. Or that Syria would. Or Belarus! To his credit, Qaddafi managed to bring down a plane.
3. We are discussing about contributions to NATO (which are inevitably budgetary in nature) and the opportunity costs of increasing and decreasing defense spending. Italy alone could have bombed to the ground Belgrade, let alone France, the UK or Germany. If the EU or NATO didn't do it until they did, it has nothing to do with defense expenditures, budget limits and 2%s, nor with the presence/absence of US military, but it comes down to policy and structure. Put simply, EU had no experience in "bombing countries into democracy and human rights", the US had plenty, although selectively used in the second half of the 20th century. Many in Europe would still tell you that bombing Belgrade was a violation of international law. But of course, the US have a special relationship with the international legal framework they contributed to create, and moreover in your eagerness to attack always the EU in these post to deny your ancestors' origins and look more American than a native Cherokee, you get to lose focus on the real subject and start talking gibberish, when it's not selective lies.
4. Sarkozy is a dick. If he still managed to fool you into the Libyan skirmish it goes, intellectually, to your disadvantage. Of course, I don't agree with this theory, and the US had probably good reasons to provide the assistance they provided and supporting the resolution at the Security Council. Too bad you were not there to block your government.
5. Europeans do not depend on Libyan oil, or we would have been started using bicycles already. Europe depends (and too much) on Russia's gas and global oil markets.
6. Syrian's neighbors are not Italy or Germany, but, most notably, Israel. It's a country you and your US conservative friends should be familiar with. If it comes to a surprise, I can send you a wikilink, or you can simply Google "Israel"; bottom line, it has been a central element to US foreign policy in the Middle East for far too long.
7. The main threat in present-day Europe is internal, namely Muslim extremism and the occasional bomb. C'mon, I'm pulling your leg. The main threat in present-day Europe is internal, for real now: it's called transnational organized crime, and kills thousands of people per year. Professional, well-paid and effective police forces is where we should invest, not useless armies to secure immaginary roads to energetic security that never come true.
Neatly explained.
......countdown to gibberish retaliation from across the Atlantic...
They're likely to resort to the use of BSMDs anyways.
"The main threat in present-day Europe is internal, for real now"
So you advocate some kind of EURCON gendarmerie gestapo militia to be used against European citizens, and particularly against anti-Brussels dissenters, using Muslims and international criminals as an excuse?
Oh don't worry, since you like it better when your police watch a bunch of youth smashing entire neighbourhoods, I'm sure your country will be able to negotiate an opt-out. You must be familiar with term, by now.
That's actually an interesting proposal. But it all only makes true sense if the uniforms are being designed by Prince Harry during a trip to Las Vegas.
"Europe would still tell you that bombing Belgrade was a violation of international law."
Yes the same Europe that was indifferent and did nothing while men, women & children were slaughtered right under their noses in mass graves in Sebrenica and countless other mass graves on European soil.
They are still discovering new mass graves in the Balkans.
So please spare us your moral preening about international law.
"Yes the same Europe that was indifferent and did nothing while men, women & children were slaughtered right under their noses in mass graves in Sebrenica and countless other mass graves on European soil."
Leaving aside that if you were so pressed with human rights maybe Baker shouldn't have said "We got no dog in this fight", and you could have bypassed third countries as you often have in the past, please now, for the sake of consistency, bomb and / or invade and / or topple the governments in the following countries:
Countries: Possible choices
Sudan bomb / invade / topple
Somalia invade (again)
DRC invade / topple
Mali invade (read: get entangled)
Syria bomb / invade / topple
Iraq Ok, this was a joke
OPT Ok, this is another joke
I'm sure somebody will be kind enough to add to the list.
Retrospectively, just to prove a point, please invade Russia for what they did in Chechnya. I think you missed a good opportunity there to show moral consistency.
"So please spare us your moral preening about international law."
Once you become consistent with your BSMDs, I'll do.
None of these countries are in Europe.
Hello, do you not know the map of Europe?
So let me repeat once again, please spare us the moral preening about international law when Europe did nothing while men, women & children were slaughtered right under their noses in mass graves on European soil.
Don't forget to mention the Belgrade Chinese embassy employees that have been slaughtered by the USAF.
"I'm sure somebody will be kind enough to add to the list."
Would like to add Mars. Its red surface is proof that it is governed by hordes of malicious scapegoating communists. The rover's true mission is not find water but WMDs. We all look forward to the carpet bombing, once we get confirmation.
"None of these countries are in Europe.
Hello, do you not know the map of Europe?
So let me repeat once again, please spare us the moral preening about international law when Europe did nothing while men, women & children were slaughtered right under their noses in mass graves on European soil"
Ah, I see, your struggle for human rights stops at white skin. Sorry, I forgot you came from a federation that includes the state of Mississippi.
Of course I know the map of Europe, smartcelticass... BTW, technically speaking, Chechnya is in Europe (not to be confused with the EU). Why you didn't move in to save caucasian brothers?

NH native leads Bauer's surge to hockey supremacy
He became the fourth chief executive officer in eight years when he took the position in 2008, just after Nike sold the brand and at a time when morale and staff levels were low.
This year, it will generate close to $400 million in revenue, up from about $200 million in 2008, and is ranked number one in every hockey equipment category.
Bauer is the only company able to market DuPont's Kevlar material in its neck protectors and socks and continues to create innovations in equipment that were never thought possible, Davis said.
Even in the lower price points, quality is key.
"We were the first company to make an entry-level $65 composite hockey stick," he said.
Davis joined Bauer as the New Hampshire controller in 2002, shortly after the company moved its global headquarters from Montreal, Canada, to Greenland.
Previous management had reduced research and development staff by 10 percent. Davis soon reinvigorated the department as evidenced by some of Bauer's new products, including the Vapor APX 2 skate released in April with easily changeable skate blades. The boot is made with a thermo-formable material that can be customized to a skater's foot, while also being lightweight and durable enough to take a puck.
Davis said it is the category-specific model that has allowed Bauer to regain dominance in the hockey equipment arena after losing its focus. Now that the company has re-established its position as the leader in all hockey categories, it is looking to become the number one lacrosse brand and dominate roller hockey equipment categories as well.
The company is also doing more to support the community more visibly, including a recent $100,000 donation to the Prescott Park Arts Festival in Portsmouth toward a capital campaign to renovate park facilities.
Davis, a New Hampshire native and Pinkerton Academy graduate, said there was no question the company wanted to keep its global headquarters in New Hampshire due to the quality of the employee base.
"I'm not going anywhere," he said. "I'm incredibly proud to be part of this organization and to be given such a unique opportunity to lead such a talented group of people," he said.

The irrational (though understandable) fear of Fupas (fat upper pussy areas). Symptoms include innability to keep food down, desire to end ones life, and night terrors.
I had to go see my therapist about my advanced stage Fupobia. The dreams of armies of post-menopausal women with fupas bombarding my upper body were too much to handle.

As a board-certified pathologist with a specialization in breast pathology, I perform microscopic examination of breast biopsies and surgical specimens and make diagnoses that help guide treatment decisions for our patients. I am proud to be part of the multidisciplinary team providing breast cancer patients with comprehensive and coordinated care.
I am interested in the molecular and genetic mechanisms of breast cancer development, progression, and response to treatments. My current research is focused on triple negative breast carcinoma — a subgroup of breast cancer that does not express estrogen and progesterone receptors, or the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). I also work closely with my colleagues from surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology on a variety of clinical studies in breast cancer.
