UBS's second quarter 2012 results
News Release
UBS second-quarter pre-tax profit CHF 951 million; wealth management businesses' net new money inflows increased to CHF 13.2 billion; industry-leading Basel 2.5 tier 1 ratio strengthened further to 19.2%; phase-in Basel III tier 1 ratio1 target of 13% already surpassed; Basel III RWA1 reduced by CHF 45 billion; Group and Investment Bank RWA targets lowered.
In challenging conditions marked by increased volatility and greater client caution, UBS continued to execute its strategy and to deliver on its enduring commitment to clients, achieving pre-tax profit of CHF 951 million. Costs were managed prudently, keeping UBS on track to deliver its entire planned savings by the end of 2013.
UBS again delivered on its key strategic objective of lowering Basel III risk-weighted assets1 (RWA), with reductions of CHF 45 billion in the second quarter. The firm has already surpassed its RWA reduction targets for 2012 in the Investment Bank and the Group as a whole, and is accelerating towards its 2013 targets. On a fully applied basis, the firm's Basel III tier 1 ratio increased to 8.8% from 7.5%. UBS has reduced its 2016 Group target for Basel III RWA by CHF 30 billion to less than CHF 240 billion. The Investment Bank RWA target for 2016 has been lowered by CHF 15 billion to less than CHF 135 billion, as UBS believes the business can operate successfully within its target performance ranges with lower RWA. UBS is confident it can achieve its targeted RWA and capital ratios without diluting shareholder equity.
Wealth Management attracted increased net new money inflows of CHF 9.5 billion, and Wealth Management Americas delivered resilient net new money inflows of CHF 3.7 billion in addition to recording its highest ever pre-tax profit. Group client deposits increased by CHF 19 billion, partly due to favorable currency effects and including higher levels of deposit inflows in Retail & Corporate: a sign of our clients' continuing trust in UBS. The Investment Bank continued to execute its focused strategy, with pro-forma estimated Basel III RWA1 lowered further to CHF 170 billion.
- Pre-tax profit CHF 951 million; net profit attributable to UBS shareholders CHF 425 million; diluted earnings per share CHF 0.11

- Invested assets CHF 2,163 billion, up CHF 48 billion, including CHF 13.2 billion net new money inflows in the wealth management businesses

Zurich/Basel, 31 July 2012 – Commenting on UBS's second-quarter results, Group CEO Sergio P. Ermotti said, "Our strong capital, liquidity and funding positions, as well as our transparency and consistency in communicating these strengths, clearly speak in favor of UBS and reassure our clients in an otherwise adverse environment. Clients recognize this and continue to entrust us with their assets. We reached a key milestone in our strategic execution and we are determined to extend our advantage as the best capitalized bank in our peer group under current and future regulatory requirements. We expect our Basel III tier 1 ratio to be comfortably above 9% by the end of 2012. Continued vigilance on costs is keeping us firmly on track to deliver our entire planned cost savings by the end of 2013 and we continue to explore avenues to improve efficiency. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on prudent liquidity management, further reducing risk-weighted assets and delivering the best possible service to our clients. I have the utmost confidence in our ability to deliver on our firm's strategy by adapting our execution in a changing environment."
Second-quarter net profit attributable to UBS shareholders CHF 425 million
Net profit attributable to UBS shareholders was CHF 425 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared with CHF 827 million in the first quarter. Pre-tax profit declined to CHF 951 million from CHF 1,304 million, primarily reflecting lower trading revenues, excluding own credit, as well as a decline in net fee and commission income and higher operating expenses. These declines were partly offset by an own credit gain of CHF 239 million compared with a loss of CHF 1,164 million in the prior quarter. Tax expense was CHF 253 million compared with CHF 476 million in the prior quarter. In addition, CHF 273 million of the second quarter net profit was attributable to non-controlling interests, mostly reflecting dividends on trust preferred securities, compared with CHF 1 million in the prior quarter. Operating expenses increased by CHF 236 million to CHF 5,457 million. The second quarter included a credit to personnel expenses of CHF 84 million related to changes to a retiree medical and life insurance benefit plan in the US, while the prior quarter included a credit to personnel expenses of CHF 485 million related to changes to our Swiss pension plan. In addition, the second quarter included net restructuring charges of CHF 9 million compared with net restructuring charges of CHF 126 million in the prior quarter. Excluding these items, operating expenses decreased by CHF 48 million to CHF 5,532 million. We employed 63,520 personnel as of 30 June 2012 compared with 64,243 personnel as of 31 March 2012. The decrease of 723 during the second quarter mainly related to our continued focus on cost reduction across most business divisions.
Wealth Management pre-tax profit was CHF 502 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared with CHF 803 million in the previous quarter, primarily as the first quarter included a credit to personnel expenses of CHF 237 million related to changes to our Swiss pension plan. Adjusted for this item and restructuring charges, pre-tax profit decreased by CHF 75 million to CHF 503 million. Total operating income decreased by CHF 35 million to CHF 1,734 million from CHF 1,769 million, due to a decline in non-recurring fees and trading income, reflecting lower client activity levels. Operating expenses increased to CHF 1,232 million from CHF 966 million. The gross margin on invested assets decreased by 4 basis points to 89 basis points, mainly reflecting lower client activity levels. Net new money improved to CHF 9.5 billion from CHF 6.7 billion in the previous quarter. Invested assets increased to CHF 783 billion. The annualized net new money growth rate was 4.9% compared with 3.6% in the previous quarter.
Wealth Management Americas pre-tax profit in the second quarter of 2012 was USD 211 million, a slight increase from the prior quarter's record profit of USD 209 million, as a 1% rise in operating income was only partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. The second quarter's result included USD 63 million of realized gains in the investment portfolio, an increase over the prior quarter, and an increase in net fee and commission income that offset the combined effect of reduced net interest and trading income and higher operating expenses. Operating income increased by USD 19 million to USD 1,587 million from USD 1,568 million. Total operating expenses increased by USD 16 million to USD 1,375 million from USD 1,359 million, primarily due to a 7% increase in non-personnel expenses. Net new money totaled USD 3.8 billion compared with USD 4.6 billion. The annualized net new money growth rate for the second quarter was 1.9%, down from 2.4% in the prior quarter. The gross margin on invested assets decreased by 1 basis point to 79 basis points.
The Investment Bank recorded a pre-tax loss of CHF 130 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared with a pre-tax profit of CHF 730 million in the first quarter of 2012. Revenues declined significantly in the securities business amid challenging market conditions. In addition, revenues were impacted by a loss of CHF 349 million related to the Facebook initial public offering. Pro-forma Basel III RWA1 decreased to CHF 170 billion. Total operating income decreased by 40% to CHF 1,736 million in the second quarter of 2012 from CHF 2,903 million in the previous quarter. Total operating expenses decreased 14% to CHF 1,867 million from CHF 2,173 million. In the investment banking division, total revenues decreased by 6% to CHF 372 million from CHF 396 million, as a reduction in fees was partially offset by lower risk management premiums. Equities revenues decreased 75% to CHF 247 million from CHF 992 million, with declines across most businesses. Results were impacted by the abovementioned loss related to the Facebook initial public offering and the adverse effect of an improvement in the own credit calculation methodology and the correction of own credit items relating to prior periods. Fixed income, currencies and commodities revenues decreased 27% to CHF 1,099 million from CHF 1,501 million as escalating eurozone fears and slower growth in the US created challenging market conditions.
Due to the gross mishandling of Facebook's market debut by NASDAQ we recorded a loss of CHF 349 million in our US Equities business as a result of our efforts to provide best execution for our clients. As a market maker in one of the largest IPOs in US history, we received significant orders from clients, including clients of our wealth management businesses. Due to multiple operational failures by NASDAQ, UBS's pre-market orders were not confirmed for several hours after the stock had commenced trading. As a result of system protocols that we had designed to ensure our clients' orders were filled consistent with regulatory guidelines and our own standards, orders were entered multiple times before the necessary confirmations from NASDAQ were received and our systems were able to process them. NASDAQ ultimately filled all of these orders, exposing UBS to far more shares than our clients had ordered. UBS's loss resulted from NASDAQ's multiple failures to carry out its obligations, including both opening the Facebook stock for trading and not halting trading in the stock during the day. We will take
appropriate legal action against NASDAQ to address its gross mishandling of the offering and its substantial failures to perform its duties. Although as in all such matters there can be no assurance as to the amount of any recovery we may obtain, we intend to pursue compensation for the full extent of our losses.
Global Asset Management pre-tax profit in the second quarter of 2012 was CHF 118 million compared with CHF 156 million in the first quarter, primarily due to lower performance fees, especially in alternative and quantitative investments. Total operating income was CHF 446 million compared with CHF 478 million in the first quarter. Total operating expenses were CHF 328 million compared with CHF 322 million in the first quarter. The annualized net new money growth rate was negative 2.5% compared with negative 5.7% in the first quarter. Excluding money market flows, net new money inflows from third parties were CHF 3.4 billion compared with outflows of CHF 2.9 billion in the first quarter as the level of client portfolio re-alignments seen in the first quarter abated and third party inflows rebounded in the second quarter. The inflows were mainly into traditional investments, particularly indexed equity. Total net new money flows, excluding money market funds, were positive in the second quarter at CHF 1.2 billion. The total gross margin was 32 basis points compared with 34 basis points in the first quarter, mainly due to lower performance fees in alternative and quantitative investments.
Retail & Corporate pre-tax profit was CHF 399 million compared with CHF 575 million in the previous quarter, which included a credit to personnel expenses of CHF 190 million related to changes to our Swiss pension plan. Adjusted for this item and restructuring charges, pre-tax profit increased by CHF 3 million to CHF 395 million. Both our retail and corporate businesses continued to record strong net new business volume growth. Total operating income decreased by CHF 9 million to CHF 927 million from CHF 936 million in the prior quarter. Operating expenses increased to CHF 527 million from CHF 361 million in the previous quarter, which included a credit to personnel expenses of CHF 190 million related to changes to our Swiss pension plan. Adjusted for these changes and restructuring charges, operating expenses were down by CHF 13 million. Annualized net new business volume growth was 3.3% compared with 4.2% in the previous quarter. Both our retail and corporate businesses recorded net inflows, mainly in client assets, but also from loans, in line with our strategy to grow our business in high-quality loans.
Corporate Center – Core Functions pre-tax result in the second quarter was a loss of CHF 19 million compared with a loss of CHF 1,239 million in the previous quarter. The second quarter included an own credit gain of CHF 239 million compared with a loss of CHF 1,164 million in the prior quarter. Treasury income remaining in Corporate Center - Core Functions after allocations to the business divisions was negative CHF 64 million compared with positive CHF 79 million in the prior quarter.
The Legacy Portfolio pre-tax result was a loss of CHF 119 million compared with a gain of CHF 89 million in the previous quarter. The two primary reasons for this were that the value of our option to acquire the SNB StabFund's equity increased by CHF 45 million, CHF 82 million less than the increase in the prior quarter, and that we recorded a loss of CHF 81 million in the remainder of the Legacy Portfolio compared with a gain of CHF 37 million in the prior quarter.
Capital position and balance sheet
Our Basel 2.5 tier 1 capital ratio continued to improve and stood at 19.2% on 30 June 2012, an improvement of 50 basis points from 31 March 2012. Basel 2.5 tier 1 capital increased by CHF 1.6 billion, mainly due to lower tier 1 deductions, currency effects and net profit. Our pro-forma Basel III RWA1 were estimated to be CHF 305 billion on a fully applied basis at the end of the second quarter, a CHF 45 billion decline from the prior quarter. This decrease was mainly due to a revised treatment of our option to acquire the SNB StabFund's equity, lower securitization uplift due to Legacy Portfolio asset sales and the reduction in credit value adjustment VaR RWA, partially offset by the revised treatment in deferred tax assets. Our balance sheet stood at CHF 1,412 billion on 30 June 2012, up from CHF 1,366 billion on 31 March 2012.
Invested assets
Invested assets were CHF 2,163 billion as of 30 June 2012 compared with CHF 2,115 billion as of 31 March 2012. Of the invested assets, CHF 783 billion were attributable to Wealth Management, CHF 757 billion were attributable to Wealth Management Americas, CHF 569 billion were attributable to Global Asset Management, and CHF 54 billion were attributable to Retail & Corporate.
As in recent quarters, the degree of progress towards achieving sustained and material improvements to eurozone sovereign debt and European banking system issues, as well as the extent of uncertainty surrounding geopolitical tensions, the global economic outlook and the US fiscal "cliff", will continue to exert a strong influence on client confidence and, thus, activity levels in the third quarter of 2012. Failure to make progress on these key issues, accentuated by the reduction in market activity levels typically seen in the third quarter, would make further improvements in prevailing market conditions unlikely and would thus generate headwinds for revenue growth, net interest margins and net new money. Despite these challenges, we remain confident that our asset-gathering businesses as a whole will continue to attract net new money, reflecting our clients' steadfast trust in the firm and their recognition of our continuing efforts to strengthen UBS. We will strive to deliver on our strategy, which focuses on prudent liquidity management, reducing risk and complexity, and improving our position as one of the best capitalized banks in the world. We have the utmost confidence in our ability to deliver on our strategy by adapting our execution in a changing environment.
1 The calculation of our pro-forma Basel III risk-weighted assets combines existing Basel 2.5 risk-weighted assets, a revised treatment for low-rated securitization exposures which are no longer deducted from capital but are risk-weighted with 1250%, and new capital charges based on models. Some of these new models still require regulatory approval and therefore our pro-forma calculations include estimates of the impact of these new capital charges which will be refined as models and the associated systems are enhanced.

During last year's San Diego Beer Week, we conducted an experiment in the name of creativity and good taste, enlisting a dozen of our brewers to craft cask versions of Stone beers, dry-hopping and infusing them with highly flavorful ingredients. Those 12 casks and the brewers were assembled at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens along with a dozen personally monogramed mallets. Then, at the stroke of four post-meridian, the brewers tapped their casks and served them to hordes of thirsty Stone fans.
It was an expanded take on the Stone Brewer's Cask events we hold each Thursday afternoon at the Bistro and, in addition to being a wildly good time, the event provided a stunning and varied taste of the ingenuity and skill our talented brewers bring to the table. It was far too magnificent to do just once, so we're turning it into a series of events. The exact frequency has yet to be determined, but we know for sure that the next edition of 12 Brewers, 12 Casks, 12 Mallets will take place 5 p.m. on Wednesday, February 6 at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens.

BUFFALO, NY - An effort to save drivers money on their traffic tickets, while boosting Buffalo city revenue is underway in Albany.
Ever had a traffic ticket that you wanted to get out of or knock down the fine?
Drivers in Buffalo don't have the right to plea bargain these tickets. But, under a bill being debated in Albany, drivers would be able to do this if they're stopped in the city. Under the proposal, every violation from running a stop sign or illegally changing lanes, running a stop light, U-turn violations and speeding tickets, drivers would be able to fight to get lower penalties on by pleading guilty to the infraction. Then, they could bargain the cost of the violations to lower dollar amounts if they're stopped on Buffalo streets.
"Those are the same opportunities that other municipalities smaller than Buffalo, why shouldn't we have that same opportunity," said David Rivera, council member for Buffalo Common Council.
The Traffic Adjudication Bureau in the Ellicott Square Building handles these types of violations.
Currently, drivers can either plea guilty or not guilty to the ticket. They can also get a hearing if requested where a judge makes a final decision.
"What you're in a sense doing is relieving that burden of having to run a mini hearing on every single case that takes place," said State Senator Mark Grisanti, (R - 60th District).
Under the proposed law, drivers would be able to argue if the fine should be knocked down. Drivers that commit serious violations could go to driving school to make sure points are kept off their record and their insurance rates don't rise.
City officials like the bill because Buffalo would keep the fine money, as opposed to sending it to the state, which is currently being done. The state would hold onto surcharge fees.
"It would bring revenue to the City of Buffalo at a time when the City of Buffalo needs to raise revenue," said Rivera.
Grisanti says that Buffalo is losing out on dollars anywhere between $500,000 to $1 million per year.
"Other towns and villages, they rely on that revenue for various things that the town needs," he said.
The big question is whether Gov. Cuomo would sign the law if it's passed, or if a middle ground could be reached? Whatever would be passed though, it would mean the state would lose out on millions of dollars.
As for the politics behind it all.
The bill is in both chambers in the Legislature, but they're in different versions. Lawmakers have a month before they go on break. So over the next month, Grisanti says lawmakers will try to get one version voted on.

Music lovers and active types rejoice! There's finally a phone case designed with you in mind, and it's Pure Mobile's accessory of the week. iLuv's SmashBox Pro is a portable speaker case that protects your phone while acting like a mini stereo.
And while we've reviewed both portable speakers and phone cases on the Pure Mobile blog before, we've never seen an accessory that quite so perfect a hybrid between the two.
Back in the old days, when you went out jogging, hiking or cycling, you took along a discman (remember those?) or a walkman (geez, you've got to be old if you know what that is.) But portable music is all about smartphones these days, which is great. We can almost hear Gandalf voice in your heads, saying "one device to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them."
But your phone is pretty fragile, at least for a mountainside hike or the constant impact of a hearty jog. And though you can always listen with headphones, earbuds do tend to pop out when you're active. So the idea behind the SmashBox Pro is to let you listen with speakers, while protecting your phone inside a totally enveloped zip case.
It's designed so it can be fastened to your backpack or even to the handlebars of your bike. And where you go, your music goes with you, thanks to exterior controls that not only let you play and pause your tracks but also answer and end calls.
As for sound quality, the general consensus from reviewers is that the sound is big and clear, much better than you'd expect from a set of speakers that's so compact. Meanwhile, the case is ultra-protective and secures your phone in place to keep it from jostling around.
It's also designed to fit almost every phone model, from all incarnations of the iPhone, to Samsung devices like the Galaxy S3, BlackBerry handsets and pretty much any other model you can think of. And thanks to the fact that it's powered by AA batteries, it won't unnecessarily draw power away from your device.
And though you obviously won't be able to use the SmashBox Pro as a case for your tablet or laptop, its speakers are still compatible with those devices too, so you won't really need any additional portable speakers. But we still love it best for high-quality on-the-go sound for when you're out and about or peeling around on your bike.
So, if you've ever wanted to cycle past a car blasting your own favorite tunes as the driver next to you wonders where you're hiding your stereo system, you've finally got your chance. Thanks iLuv.

Ballet fans have been looking forward to ABC Family's "Bunheads" for weeks now, since it advertises—from the title down—that it's all about ballet. But the first episode, at least, had a lot of plot exposition to get out of the way before digging into anything truly "bunhead"-y. A very quick summary: Onetime ballet dancer but current Las Vegas showgirl Michelle (Broadway star Sutton Foster, who is fantastic) is tired of performing in a feathered bikini but unable to get a "real" Broadway job.

NORTH YARMOUTH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- 10 Maine businesses are receiving $341,423 through USDA Rural Development to make renewable energy or energy efficient upgrades.
The announcement was made at Cozy Acres Greenhouse in North Yarmouth, one of last year's grant recipients.
Owner Jeff Marstaller has used the 49-thousand dollar grant he received to create a zero-emissions greenhouse. The greenhouse itself will be going up in the coming weeks, but he already has the solar panels in his yard that should generate the 39-thousand kilowatts of energy he expects to use. He also will heat the greenhouse with a geothermal system.
Marstaller said, "It will get all of its energy from the sun and all of its heat from the earth."
Cozy Acres currently has 7 seasonal greenhouses, where it grows wholesale annuals, vegetables and herbs. The plan is for the new greenhouse to operate year-round.
USDA Rural Development says the new grant recipients are:
America's Wood Company in Washington, receiving $15,000 to install a 12.72 kWh photovoltaic grid tie system.
Amy Sprague with Wolf Pine Farm in Alfred, receiving $4,842 to build 28 solar panels.
Artisan Boatworks, Inc. in Rockport, receiving $8,000 to install a 10kWh grid tie photovoltaic system.
McLaughlin Seafood, Inc. in Bangor, receiving $4,134 to install a biomass fueled hot water heater.
Lincoln County Publishing Company in Damariscotta, receiving $20,000 to install a 55 kWh solar photovoltaic grid-tie system.
Lafayette Boothbay, LLC. (the Tugboat Inn) in Boothbay Harbor, receiving $36,000 for two separate solar photovoltaic systems.
P&M Enterprises, LLC in Rockwood, receiving $6,495 to insulate a lodge and modify air handling equipment.
Mt. Abram, LLC in Greenwood, receiving $235,000 to install a 256 kWh solar photovoltaic system with 869 solar panels, three inverters and one monitoring system.
Thompson Cottages, Inc., in New Harbor, receiving $4,000 to install a propane-fired boiler.
Quoddy Bay Lobster, Inc. in Pembroke, receiving $7,230 to upgrade refrigeration units, install a propane boiler, add insulated skylight panels, and upgrade the lighting and electrical panel.

Beyond the Boxscore: Bunting for Base Hits
According to this graph, from Beyond the Boxscore, Jose Reyes and Angel Pagan are among the most productive at bunting in non-sacrifice situations:
I'm not a staunch supporter of the sacrifice bunt. I understand its use in certain situations, in certain games and against specific pitchers. I'd use it, but only if the moon and stars line up. Instead, for the most part, I prefer to let my batters swing away. That said, I have no problem with people bunting for base hits, so long as they have that skill and use it well – apparently like Reyes and Pagan, who are going to make for an exciting top-of-the-order this season.

COLTON - Planned events for the town of Colton Winterfest include inside and outdoor activities from 10 a.m. to dusk on Saturday and Sunday at Catamount Lodge & Forest.
Catamount Lodge, owned by Ruth and Joe McWilliams, is located about eight miles south of the hamlet of South Colton on state Highway 56 inside the Adirondack Park. The property hugs Carry Falls Reservoir. Visitors should look for the Catamount Lodge sign on the left when driving south on State Highway 56 toward Route 3.
Inside visitors can tour the Lodge and view quilts throughout, some of which are only on display during Winterfest Weekend and some of which are permanently available for guests to enjoy.
The featured Quilt Show artisan this year is Jill Josephs of Potsdam, who plans to have more than 50 of her creations at Catamount Lodge. Ms. Josephs will be on site both days from 1-4 p.m. for visitors to meet and discuss quilting.
She made her first quilt in 1987 and is now well-known among the vibrant network of quilters in the north country. She has taught many others including adults, 4-Hers and her own children while home schooling them.
Ms. Josephs also understands the therapeutic value of quilts to those who make them as well as those who receive them. And she finishes creations pieced by others using her long arm quilting machine for a variety of community service projects as well as for pay. When working for pay she does business as In the Sewing Room out of her home sewing room, which is the size of a two-car garage.
In addition, visitors to Catamount Lodge can see a number of wall quilts created by Patty Blickwedehl of South Colton, which are permanently on display.
Her creations represent a range of techniques, some of which are pieced and quilted entirely by hand while others are crafted with the aid of sewing machines. During the weekend many other quilts can be viewed at three other Quilt Show locationsColton Hepburn Library, Colton Town Hall, and Zion Episcopal Church (all on Main Street in the hamlet of Colton).
Outdoor activities at Catamount include recreational snowshoeing as well as cross-country skiing. Trails on the property are open year-round to the public during daylight hours. In the winter marked and groomed trails on the Catamount property provide a great opportunity for all ages to enjoy the outdoors and explore the forest while trekking the flat terrain as well as gently rolling to moderate hills. Once again the Physical Education department at Colton-Pierrepont Central School is making snowshoes available so anyone can participate. Visitors should stop by the Lodge to sign out a pair, returning them when done.
Two school groups, the Student Government and the Foreign Language Club, also will be serving hot drinks and snacks in the Lodge on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Donations are requested to support organization activities, including the Foreign Language Clubs next trip to Europe in 2015.
While in South Colton on Sunday, winter enthusiasts who want to go dog sledding should call Spencer Thew of Call of the Wild 262-2145 to reserve a time and learn about the cost to do so.
And at the end of each day visitors can eat locally. A spaghetti dinner sponsored by the Colton-Pierrepont Senior Racqueteers is being held at the school from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday.
Another sit-down dining options both days include Mikes South of the Rock Inn on State Highway 56 in the hamlet of South Colton and the Hide Away Caf� on Gulf Road just outside the hamlet of Colton.
The complete Winterfest schedule is on the town of Colton website, http://townofcolton.com, at the bottom of the Events Schedule under Events/News. Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams may also be called about activities at Catamount Lodge, 262-2450.

NEWPORT–Change is in the air for the North Country basketball boys, but it is not so much a change on the court or in personnel as it is a change in attitude. When I walked into the gym last week to speak with the team and it's head coach Brian Bonvechio, I could sense that things were different with this group.
Multiple members of the senior leadership group addressed this issue before I even had a chance to speak to Bonvechio.
"We've got much better chemistry than we have had in years, and that's helped tremendously," said Taylor Prue.
"The team is more connected," said Steve Raboin, "I feel like everyone of us can give someone constructive criticism and they will not take it the wrong way. I feel like we are closer, more like a family.
Said Devon Martin, "We are getting along really well and I can feel a connection both on and off the court. This year we all get along well and we pick each other up when we are down. We are a team."
And what does Bonvechio have to say about this new attitude with his players?
"I think it started right off the bat when my assistant AJ Floriani took charge and put them through some drills to get them more talkative, concerned with defense, and really starting with a work ethic. It has been a whole different atmosphere."
On offense the team is running more of a motion attack, utilizing some of the team's strong player combos to get the ball to the basket.
Players like Tyler Paxman, Clint Provoncha, and Martin controlling the ball outside will lead to chances down low for the likes of Prue and Jason Hatin, both strong presences inside and down low.
North Country struggled at finishing last season, and the boys took a hard look at what they needed to change, and then went and did it.
"We have all been working a lot on shooting. We've gotten coaching on better shooting form, from the feet all the way up, and our lay ups are going in more this year," said Prue.
You can't win ball games without good defense, and that has been at the core of Bonvechio's game plan from the get go.
"From the first day, we've had a vision for this program. We are going to be a defensive minded, physically and mentally tough team that competes from the opening tip to the final buzzer, no matter what the score."
The team's physical toughness has been on display during the pre-season, an example being the four charges they took against Oxbow.
They hadn't had one in the previous two years.
"This year we are focusing on the fundamentals of the game," said Raboin, "We are going back to defense. What we are really doing is working a lot harder, more running, more defensive slides, just getting back to the core focus of defense."
"It's night and day out there the amount of energy these kids give out there" said Bonvechio comparing this years' squad to previous ones, "From Devon Martin to Taylor Prue, it's... contagious."
There will be some new faces on the sidelines this year. Josh Puckett dusted off his hi-tops and decided to return to basketball in his senior season after a three year lay-off, and Matt Benn will look to give the team an emotional boost as player/manager.
Tyler Jenne and Clint Provoncha are two sophomores who will be impact players right off the bat.
"Provoncha provides us with a dynamite ability to not only knock down the long jump shot, but he has been the leading assist player," said the coach, "Josh Puckett is a real nice addition as a senior. He understands the game well. A smart, smart kid.
"Everybody has a role on this team, and they seem to be willing to play it at this point, and as long we continue to play with that mindset, we will surprise a lot of teams out there."
With a retooled attitude and workman-like effort day in and day out, the Falcon boys will make sure progress and put last years' season where it belongs.
In the past.
The boys get it all started tonight when Lyndon Institute comes to North Country's gym for the season opener. J/V starts at 5:00, Varsity tips off at 6:30.

Qatar plans propylene and benzene derivatives projects as part of major petchems push
June 14, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
Qatar Petroleum (QP; Doha) has invited companies to carry out feasibility studies for propylene- and benzene-derivative complexes to be built at Ras Laffan, Qatar, near existing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) producers, to take advantage of the country's increasing feedstock availability. Qatar overtook Saudi Aramco in 2011 to become the largest exporter of LPG. The plans form part of Qatar's previously announced intention to raise petrochemicals output to 23 million m.t./year by 2020. QP is evaluating plans to construct a propane...

Seasoned hotelier Kai Hollmann turned Hamburg's 19th-century municipal gasworks into Europe's first loft-style hotel, instantly transforming the red-brick industrial complex into a one-of-a-kind hotel. Natural light floods the atrium lobby through two enormous arched windows and a glass roof. A gigantic, green industrial machine and an old tower clock serve as reminders of the building's days as a power station. When visiting Mangold, the in-house restaurant, guests will enjoy a creative cuisine composed of the freshest ingredients from around the globe. The Moroccan-influenced Gastwerk spa offers a sauna, steam bath, massages, beauty treatments, yoga, and pilates. Neutral light and soothing textures soften the rough industrial structure, giving its once purely functional form new life.
Klaus Peter Lange
Given that Gastwerk's redbrick shell and a monstrous green industrial machine from the building's bygone days as a power station were both under a strict preservation order, a sensitive conversion to a hotel was required of Hamburg architect Klaus Peter Lange. Rising to the occasion, he integrated the green monstrosity into the design of the 600 square meter atrium lobby, in which a bridge leading to the guestrooms is suspended overhead. Natural light bathes the atrium and gold leaf adorns the front desk, above which an old tower clock has stopped telling time. Sheer curtains on either side point the way to the bar and restaurant or to the ten conference rooms, which cater not only to guests but to grateful local professionals who regularly migrate to this one-of-a-kind hotel.
Interior Design
Regine Schwethelm & Sibylle von Heyden
Designers Regine Schwethelm and Sibylle von Heyden set about contrasting the building's rough edges with soothing textures, slick and simple furniture, and touches of Asia. Finest walnut wood trimmings, tall casement windows, and unmasked concrete walls, garnish lofts and suites, while propeller-headed ceiling fans pay homage to the many mechanical devices once whirring away in the power-station.
Made by Originals
Kai Hollmann
With his Fortune Hotels in Hamburg, Kai Hollmann heads five internationally renowned lifestyle properties, including the Gastwerk Hotel, The George Hotel, and 25hours Hotel Number One. Trained as a chef and hotel manager, his career started at 24 when his position at "Hotel Hafen Hamburg" made him the youngest hotel director in Germany. In 2008, Hollmann was voted Hamburg Entrepreneur of the Year.

Summer Jobs at Camp — FAQs
How does this service help me find staff?
There are two ways you can find staff using Summer Jobs @ Camp:
- Post a Job
- Posting a position you will have open next summer is the most common way of finding staff. This service allows you to add a job ad for EACH postition; not just a general description of your camp. After you create an Employer Account, you can then post your open positions, and they will be maintained in a highly organized format to allow excellent searching capabilities so that the right candidates find your opportunity. When an opening is posted, you may view the number of times your ad has been viewed and applied to. All responses received online are conveniently stored in your account. Communications from our internal messaging system (which allows you to communicate with the candidate without revealing to them your e-mail address) are stored in a candidate file along with any notes you decide to take. You may update, remove, or renew your posting at any time.
- View the Resumes
- Candidate Profiles are collected from both active and passive job seekers. These profiles are much like resumes but are enhanced with additional information, including the candidate's work preferences and salary expectations. You do not pay unless:
- a) you find a candidate you would like to consider and contact them through the system
- b) that candidate expresses an interest in being considered and contacts you back stating their interest (See sample of e-mail job seeker would receive if contacted through the resume service)
- Candidate Profiles are collected from both active and passive job seekers. These profiles are much like resumes but are enhanced with additional information, including the candidate's work preferences and salary expectations. You do not pay unless:
Before you may start browsing candidate profiles, we need to validate that you belong to an organization. To do this, simply fax a copy of your business card, letterhead, business license, trade name certificate, or other documentation to 860.447.4562. Your validation will be confirmed by email.
How much does it cost?
See our pricing.
What are the benefits of a Job Posting Subscription as opposed to a Single Job Posting?
Placing three single ads ($150 x 3 = $450 costs more than simply buying a subscription so that you may post unlimited ads. ($350 - for ACA camps) See the pricing page for details.
What is "My Recruting" account?
The "My Recruiting" account is where you manage all aspects of your account. This includes storage of Candidate Profiles, both actively and passively being considered. You may take notes online and have them stored in the Candidate's File. All communications between you and a candidate may occur in our secure communication structure (all messages received are automatically stored in the candidate's file).
What is a "Company Profile"?
You can quickly create a free profile of your camp. Candidates use these profiles to learn more about your camp and decide which camps they would be interested in working. Your Profile gives you the perfect venue to broadcast your camp and its benefits to a large number of potential staff.

What do you mean by a Recovery CD?
What would you want to recover? Just Ubuntu? An Ubuntu install disk will do that. Ubuntu plus some added applications. AptOnCD should do that. See http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/.
It is better for recovery if you create a separate home partition. Then you can format and reinstall everything except your home . See http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome.

What is the base of your irrigation system?
Order within 0hrs 0mins for same-day shipping!
*Not available with backorder/drop-ship items. See Shipping Policy
The SQ Series is the most precise and efficient, low-volume spray solution for irrigation of small areas with dense plantings. The SQ Series' square spray pattern and pressure compensation offers increased efficiency and control, reducing overspray, property damage and liability.
Unique edge-to-edge capability reduces the number of nozzles needed, which decreases cost and dramatically reduces installation time. Simplify design and installation with the flexibility of applications: one nozzle throws 2.5' or 4' (0.8m or 1.2 m) and can be used on a variety of spray heads and risers. It even meets micro irrigation system requirement for less than 26 gph flow rate at 30 psi.
SQ Series nozzles provide up to 65% water savings, and are great for narrow planting beds, parking lot islands, walkways, parkways, and street medians.
Note: A PA-8S Plastic Shrub Adapter is needed when using an SQ Series Nozzle mounted on a SCH 80 riser.
