EU internal defence market is opening slowly Offentliggjort den: 28/06/2012, Seneste opdatering: 24/06/2015
European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, said: "Reduced defence budgets and escalating development costs make it simply too expensive for any single European country to maintain a comprehensive national defence industrial base. We need to speed up the integration of the EU internal defence market."
Until recently, fragmentation of the European defence market and divergent national approaches caused many problems for the European defence industry, which still operates in a highly regulated environment at a national level.
But, according to the European Commission report on the transposition of Directive 2009/43/EC, published today, important first steps towards an internal market for the transfer of defence goods have been taken.
Such transfers are needed for the supply of components or for assembling final products. The Directive simplified these transfers, in particular by introducing an EU wide coherent licencing system for the transport of defence-related products through one or more Member States.
Before the adoption of the Directive, individual licensing was the most common administrative tool, which was required prior to every transfer with the associated procedures and costs, and more than 21 000 licences were issued by Member States in 2010. Heterogeneous national licensing regimes hampered the security of supply between Member States at a cost of over €400 million in 2007/8. For example, national systems to control the transfer of defence equipment to another Member State did not distinguish between exports to third countries and transfers between Member States. Moreover, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) did not have the means to enter into the supply chain in other Member States.
Timely transposition of the Directive, due since June 2011, proved challenging for Member States, and only 20 of them officially communicated full transposition in their national law (see below). However, the report underlines the advantages of the Common Military List at EU level replacing previous different lists established at national level, and of the system to certify defence companies resulting in increased mutual trust and common recognition of defence companies' reliability. The Commission also opened today a new Register of Certified Defence Recipients (CERTIDER), encompassing a centralized list of companies certified by Member States.
The EU defence sector in figures
The EU defence sector employs around 400.000 people with a turnover of € 90 bn in 2010. Intra-EU transfers of defence products amounted to € 9bn, for which Member States issued 21,533 licenses. The European defence equipment market is:
- technology and research-intensive (electronics, IT, transport, biotechnology and nanotechnology – with many important spin-offs in civil sectors, e.g. satellite navigation).
- The defence industry is mostly concentrated in six Member States (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK) although companies producing ancillary equipment and systems are found all over Europe.
Fragmented markets create red tape, hamper innovation and lead to duplication of defence programmes and research – undermining the EU's global competitiveness and the effectiveness of the Common Security and Defence Policy.
New rules benefit industry, and in particular SMEs
Directive 2009/43/EC allows the defence system integrators having the possibility to open their supply chains in more predictable conditions, increase economies of scale and optimise the defence manufacturing chain. The new rules can also create opportunities for SMEs in the sector to enter into the supply chain in other Member States.
The Directive also contributes to the reduction of the administrative burden for economic operators and for Member States' administrations. The efficiency of export controls in the EU would increase as Member States' control authorities could focus resources on the most sensitive transfers and therefore maintain high security levels.
Finally, the Directive increases assurance against the risk of illicit transfers, allowing traceability and reporting on re-exports, as well as enhancing mutual trust with like-minded third countries.
New register of Certified Defence Recipients
The Commission opened today the Register of Certified Defence Recipients (CERTIDER). The objective of the certification of recipient companies is to establish their reliability for receiving defence-related products under a general transfer licence published in another Member State. It is a confidence-building measure and a tool to reinforce the ex-post controls. It will reduce the risk of illicit transfers and enhance the traceability of the defence-related products transferred under a general transfer licence. CERTIDER will contain a centralized list of companies certified by Member States.
Commission requests eight Member States to transpose EU defence product rules
The European Commission has decided to request Romania, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxemburg, Poland, and the United Kingdom to transpose EU rules on defence products into national law. The transposition deadline was 30 June 2011 (IP/12/532 and IP/12/651).

It's not clear what you are on about. Did someone tell you, that you are trying too hard?
You know the word "trying" already has a big emphasis on the chance of failing. It doesn't need the "too hard" part for that. The to hard part is used to not describe somebody who tries and either fails or recovers, but who tries in a wrong way.
For example: You want to be good at soccer. Somebody says "hey you aren't really fast at running, practise before you get good at soccer." So you run and run and run, to the point where you only stop to eat and sleep. For a fact, this way you won't get much better at playing soccer at all. Your coach tells you "First of, get a plan, you are trying to hard at getting faster, when you could put a focus in your regular soccer training on speed and still become a great player." This can be contracted towards "you are trying too hard". As in this case and often in real life, the contraction makes only real sense in situations where the phrase is customary and the "goal" is so obvious to be possibly left out. An example: You are trying too hard to get her attention. Now for example, it's a medical fact, that if you want to train your physique, you need to follow the proper order of rest and training phases, to get the best result. Everything you do over a threshold is worse than a waste. Injury recovery is a prime example, where people are often neglecting proper pacing, which hurts them in the long term. So, if you where really trying to hard, you where not achieving your goals thanks to that. You where in spite of that. Also you are not most likely worse at what you do than you could have been. There is lastly no way to point that anything but negatively.
Finally, just trying and trying and trying is no way to solve a problem. It's a way to gain a shot at solving a problem you don't understand and you don't have the facilities to gain an understanding of, but other than that, it's a bad approach at things in life. You made it through once, because the problem you faced was trivial. Try "brute forcing" your way to getting money, friends, love, wisdom and fame (or creating real, artful art) and if you get even one of those things, it was an elaborate series of accidents that got you there, not your approach of "trying too hard".
Who the eff fails P.E and Art anyways...

Stay frosty.
Even I didn't fail P.E...
The negative stigma of trying too hard usually comes about when an individual focuses more on being impressive than improvement or reaching some kind of mutual understanding/recognition. For example, no one is going to fault the person who is trying to lose weight and get in shape by keeping a log, eating healthy and discussing it casually among friends/family/coworkers when asked about it. However, everyone hates that person who's always on about the newest diet, the crossfit olympics, how they are the most fit and can do 100 pull ups (incorrectly) and manages to be knowledgeably ignorant about fitness and health in general.
There are people who try way to hard to be recognized for things that most others just don't care about. Know your niche.

Hmm. I'm not really sure how to phrase this...
Trying too hard and doing your best are not the same.
Doing your best is doing everything within your power to accomplish something. It's usually associated with positive action.
Trying too hard is similar but involves forcing yourself to attempt something that is not possible or involves a negative trade off that outweighs the positive.
If you were bad at drawing and became better through practice that would be an example of "doing your best."
If you are bad at running and decided to do a 10k without proper training and conditioning and your heart explodes that's an example of "trying too hard."
Because trying hard and succeeding is easy, its when you don't try and do well that's actually impressive

LOWVILLE Lewis County officials are hopeful that interest from multiple firms at pre-bid conference Wednesday will lead to an affordable emergency radio system project.
My belief is the more you have, the sharper your pencil gets, Legislator Jerry H. King, R-West Leyden, said after the session.
The county has sent out two separate requests for proposals on microwave and radio equipment, with bids due back in early November.
Wednesdays session was attended by representatives from four microwave system vendors and three radio equipment vendors, while a couple of other vendors had previously expressed interest, said Mr. King, who has been serving as lead legislator on the upgrade project.
A late 2011 study of the countys antiquated radio system identified many deficiencies, including spotty coverage in many areas and little interoperability between emergency agencies. It recommended an upgrade, estimated at $6.4 million to $11.6 million, but that was estimated for a VHF-based system with eight towers.
After further research and discussion, county leaders are eyeing a higher-frequency UHF-based system that would include about 11 towers rather than the four now used to ensure coverage in most parts of the county. Pagers would remain VHF-based.
The county already has submitted an application for new radio frequencies, as well as applying for funding through the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.
Robert N. Duclos from Syracuse engineering firm C&S Cos., the countys radio consultant, told potential bidders Wednesday that the proposed tower sites and the number of towers are not set in stone. Firms should specify whatever would be needed to reach the goal of providing coverage to at least 95 percent of the county, he said.
Were not trying to handcuff you with these 11 sites, Mr. Duclos said. We want to make sure the county has adequate coverage.
The consultant said that he would expect a degree of variability in proposals and that the intent was to keep specifications as loose as possible so as not to stifle vendors creativity or limit the number of potential bidders.
We dont want to constrain radio vendors into a narrow box, he said.
Mr. Duclos also stressed to vendors that the county will not have a specific scorecard on which to grade specific aspects of the submitted proposals. Instead, the consultants and a committee of county officials will consider a multitude of factors including upfront costs, coverage, long-term operations and maintenance expenses and company references in determining the top proposals, he said.
Companies are being asked to submit bids for both a conventional radio system and a trunked one, which would use a computer-controlled switching system to allow many users to share a relatively few frequencies.
While the county ultimately would prefer to go to a trunked system, finances could dictate that it start with a conventional system with the capability of being upgraded later, Mr. Duclos said.
According to a tentative schedule, contracts for microwave and radio equipment would be awarded by the end of the year, with the intent of completing construction by the end of 2014 and testing by spring 2015. The county would also have to solicit bids on four other aspects of the project: towers, shelters, generators and site construction.

Screening Tests
Digital Rectal Exam
A digital rectal exam is done in your doctor's office, often as part of a routine physical exam. However, it is not routinely used to screen patients for prostate cancer. The doctor inserts one gloved and lubricated finger into the rectum and feels the contours of your prostate through the rectal wall. You should not feel pain during the exam. But you may feel slight pressure. You also may feel a bit nervous or anxious. Take slow, deep breaths to help yourself relax. If there is a tumor in the prostate gland and it is large enough, the doctor may be able to feel it. However, some cancers may be so small that they cannot be felt during this exam.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test
Using the PSA test as a screening tool is a controversial topic. The US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Academy of Family Physicians do not recommend this test due to the potential harms outweighing the benefits. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends that men talk to their doctors about the benefits and risks of the PSA test. The USPSTF also points out the importance of discussing this screening test with your doctor.
The PSA test measures the levels of PSA in your blood. PSA is a chemical produced in the prostate gland and released into the bloodstream. Prostate cancer, with its overabundance of rapidly dividing prostate cells, tends to increase PSA levels. Unfortunately, an elevation in PSA levels may also occur as a result of other conditions, including:
- Benign prostatic hypertrophy —a very common condition of prostate enlargement in older men
- Inflammation of the prostate (called prostatitis )
- Ejaculation—Your doctor may ask you to abstain from sexual activity for two days before the test
Therefore, if your PSA is elevated, it does not necessarily mean you have cancer. Depending on your PSA level, physical exam, and risk factors, your doctor may suggest one of several options, including:
- Repeating the test at a later date
- Ordering other tests (such as, free PSA , PSA velocity, and PSA density)
- Doing a biopsy of the prostate gland to determine if cancer is present

A year after the crash of a small plane killed all 10 people aboard in eastern Utah, investigators still are searching for the cause.
The twin-engine plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Canyonlands Field Airport near Moab on Aug. 22, 2008, killing the pilot and nine employees from Southwest Skin and Cancer/Red Canyon Aesthetics & Medical Spa in Cedar City.
The National Transportation Safety Board may take another six months to a year before issuing a report, spokesman Keith Holloway said.
"We are very thorough and methodical in the investigations,'' he said, adding it typically takes 12 to 24 months to determine the cause of plane crashes.
The dermatology clinic employees had flown to Moab to provide cancer screening and treatment there, and were headed back home to Cedar City, a rapidly growing city of 28,000 in southwestern Utah.
Ladd Sanger, a Dallas lawyer who specializes in aviation accident cases, said the weight of the plane is among possible factors because it appeared to be "fairly heavily loaded.'' There also may have been a potential for a stall.
"Stalls at low-flying altitudes are particularly dangerous because pilots can't recover, and the plane crashes," Sanger told The Spectrum.
Dane Leavitt, chairman of the Leavitt Group that owned the plane, said an independent review commissioned by his company ruled out pilot error.
Leavitt said pilot David White was exceptional and had more than 2,000 hours of flying experience.
"Our own review suggests that there was easily sufficient runway for takeoff at the then-applicable density altitude," he said. "Our review leads us to be confident that the plane was approximately 600 pounds under gross allowable weight.
"While we look forward to the NTSB report, we recognize the very strong possibility that we may never learn the cause," Leavitt added.

Re: do i need 15 college hours with a ged?
I'm currently going through the process. I'm 34 and got my GED in the mid 1990's. I have no college credits. Unless the requirements have changed in the last couple of weeks (which is possible)...you have to score a 50 or better on the ASVAB to enlist with a GED. I think it also depends if your state is currently accepting recruits with GED's. I took the ASVAB last week and passed. I scored much higher then I thought I would....I haven't used algebra in years! On top of scoring a 50 or better on the ASVAB, they have a few other things they calculate into your eligibility for enlistment. There is some type of calculation they do with your body fat and other misc. measurements, personality profile, and some other stuff. My recruiter tried explaining it to me, but honestly, I did not make sense. If you have a HS diploma, none of that is required. Apparently if you have a GED, the military see's you as "untrainable". That is a direct quote from a recruiter. If you are young and have time before reaching the maximum age limit, get some college in, then enlist. Just my opinion.Last edited by ruggermick; February 25th, 2013, 06:39 PM.
Re: do i need 15 college hours with a ged?
If you have a GED the military views you a someone who is less likely to finish your enlistment due to disciplinary reasons, alcohol, drugs, etc.. They don't look at the circumstance behind why you got one. I remember when I tried to join the active army in 1991, if you had a GED you had to score a 50, if you had a high school diploma, you only needed a 34. The sad part was people with diplomas couldn't score 34 they were getting 28, and getting waivers to go on active duty. So I ended up doing 13 years with an honorable discharge,not bad for someone considered untrainable or a trouble maker. Get those 15 credits, and enlist!!! Don't let anybody keep you from doing what you want.

Ineos to close plants at Grangemouth, US shale gas will help profitability
December 3, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
Ineos says it will be closing a number of old manufacturing assets at Grangemouth, UK., which will lead to some job cuts but not as many as 200, which Unite union feared. A spokesman for Ineos says that a benzene plant will be closed next year to be followed by the closure of an old naphtha cracker in 2015. Ineos announced plans to close the small cracker some years ago. A butadiene plant will also be shuttered in 2015, according to UK press reports. The closures as well switching the large 700,000 m.t./year gas cracker to ethane feedstock, which will be...

Jim Thompson Overview
James Harrison Wilson "Jim" Thompson (born March 21, 1906 in Greenville, Delaware - unknown) was an American businessman who helped revitalize the Thai silk and textile industry in the 1950s and 1960s. A former U.S. military intelligence officer who once worked for the Office of Strategic Services.
Jim Thompson was the youngest of five children of Henry and Mary Thompson, a wealthy Delaware couple. Jim's father was involved in the textile business. Jim was educated at St. Paul's School and Princeton University. Though Thompson studied architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, he never received his degree and was therefore unable to pass the NY Architecture Board examination. Nevertheless, he practiced in New York City with Holden McLaughlin, designing summer homes and a band shell in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
During the 1930s, he led an active social life and sat on the board of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, all the while becoming more politically active. His increasingly liberal politics alienated him from his wealthy Republican family, and by 1940 he had sought escape from them by military service, first in the Delaware National Guard and then in the Officer Training Corps of the United States Army.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
The tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001 numbed us, and then transfixed us from the time the first plane hit the World Trade Center to the time Flight 93 went down in flames in a Pennsylvania field.
And it still transfixes America today.
First and foremost in our minds were the victims of the attack and how the stakes in world terrorism had been raised.
Then came the concern for our country as a whole and then for our individual communities.
The anxiety, the fear and the uncertain future; it all added up to a feeling most people in the United States had never had.
Yet standing head and shoulders above everyone were some reassuring figures, some of whom fell in the line of duty during the attacks, others who have been stalwarts of power since that day.
Those individuals are the emergency responders in our society. Fire fighters, police, EMT's and others were the first on the scene of the disaster. They ran into buildings only knowing that there were thousands of peoples lives at risk. Many didn't emerge.
That was in New York and Washington D.C., but nationwide responders take risks with their lives to save others every day.
And that is no more true anywhere than in Carbon County. True there are no skyscrapers, little violent crime, few major disasters and, up until this time, no terrorist acts.
But local volunteers and emergency personnel are ready to give their all, anytime just to insure the safety and well being of citizens of the county.
Each year the emergency personnel in Carbon County responds to hundreds of calls' Some are in regard to people who are having health problems. Others have to do with crime. Many have to do with accidents of one kind or another. Regardless of what they are heading into they do it with a determination and professionalism that would make any big city organization proud.
But this county has something that many other counties and even cities don't: cooperation amongst agencies. The Helper Police Department, Price Police Department, Carbon County Sherriff's Department, Wellington Police Department, East Carbon Police Department and the Utah Highway Patrol often work together on everything from criminal investigations to auto accidents.
The fire departments in the county back each other up and help out where needed as well The Price Fire Department, Helper Fire Department, Wellington Fire Department and East Carbon Fire Department all interchange when needed and support the efforts of the others constantly.
The rescue squads that are part of each of these fire departments also work together well. And the Carbon County Ambulance personnel serve everyone in the area.
One of comments that is often made about Carbon's emergency response teams is the level of training and sophistication they exemplify. The leaders of these organizations constantly work on training regimens and do everything they can to assure their responders have every piece of equipment they can get to make their job safer and the service they provide more effective.
A great many of the people who respond to emergency sitations are volunteers; they get nothing except the satisfaction of serving their community and helping others.
Few people realize what is required of these men and women. It's not just a matter of jumping in a truck and speeding to a fire or driving to an accident to see what can be done. All of the skills they need to respond properly they had to learn; training time takes up a great deal of time. In service training, outside workshops and certification classes are a must for anyone serving.
Other areas of involvement are growing all the time as well. In recent weeks more interest in creating a CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Team) program has emerged at the Price City and county level.
Under these programs volunteer citizens would get some training in first response techniques, light fire fighting and some types of rudimentary extraction techniques for removing people from collapsed structures. Programs like this have started all over the country in large cities and are now filtering down to smaller communities.
In an unsure world, one where anything seems to happen anywhere and any time, it is a comfort to know that all these highly skilled people are there to respond and help our community.

Select shots from the Fire's friendly with Tottenham Hotspur presented by MiAllstate.
Fire Homegrown talent Victor Pineda is away with the US U-20 squad at the Toulon Tournament in France. The tournament is a prep for the FIFA U-20 World Cup taking place in Turkey later this month and could be make or break for players hoping to make that roster.
Coming off a right ankle injury, Pineda did not make the field in the Americans' first two matches against France and Colombia (both losses) but started and went 60 minutes in the U.S. win over the Democratic Republic of Congo Saturday. Here are my observations of Victor's performance:
Victor started on the right of a three man attack, wearing the number 7. He spent most of the first half playing almost on the touchline on the right wing.
Around the fifth minute, Pineda controlled a cross-field ball, cut inside and hit a tame shot on target with his left foot. He combined well with FC Dallas right-back Kellyn Acosta with the pair exchanging numerous one-two passes.
Pineda also tucked inside, allowing Acosta space to move into on the wing. The U.S. team applied a lot of high pressure on the DRC back line and at one point Pineda almost blocked a kick by the DRC keeper.
Coach Tab Ramos switched Pineda to the left wing and it was from this position that he created the U.S.'s best chance of the half. \
On 35 minutes, he got the ball wide and beat a DRC defender with pace before breaking into the box, faking right and cutting back left with a Cruyff turn, beating another defender before shooting with his left and forcing the keeper to make an excellent save. This was the last major action of the first half (40 minutes) for Pineda.
In the second half he continued on the left wing, cutting inside and demanding the ball off his teammates, displaying his strong self belief and confidence. He displayed another neat bit of skill 15 minutes into the second half when he allowed the ball to go in between his legs before turning away from a DRC player who could do nothing except foul him.
On 60 minutes, Victor was substituted, not surprising for a player who is only just coming back from an ankle injury.
In conclusion, Pineda was heavily involved during his time on the field and certainly made the case for a start in the US's last group match against South Korea on Wednesday (9:55am CT on beInSport).
Check back later this week for a recap of Victor's next match with the U-20s.

The Fire's summer friendly opponents and Team for the World alliance partners Club America took a further step to their first domestic crown since 2005, defeating Monterrey 2-1 (and 4-3 on aggregate) in leg two of the Liga MX semifinals Saturday night at the Estadio Azteca.
In leg one last Wednesday, Ecuadorian international Christian Benitez continued his exploits from the weekend's 2-1 victory over Pumas UNAM, scoring both goals in the team's 2-2 draw at Monterrey.
That result set the stage for Saturday's match, which saw America take the advantage just after the hour mark. In the 62nd minute, Aguilas midfielder Ruben Sambueza was brought down on the right side of the area by Monterrey defender Leobardo Lopez, forcing referee Jorge Antonio Perez to point to the spot.
A minute later, Aguilas striker Raul Jimenez placed his effort past Jonathan Orozco into the lower left netting to give America a 1-0 lead and 3-2 aggregate advantage.
The home side pretty much iced the series 19 minutes later after a Monterrey giveaway at midfield. Jimenez and Benitez quickly broke out in a give and go before the Ecuadorian was slipped into the box and finished past Ibarra for the 2-0 lead and 4-2 advantage.
The goal was Benitez' fifth in four playoff matches.
Los Rayados pushed late and pulled one back deep into second half stoppage time. Substitute Guillermo Madrigal settled in the box, turned and forced a diving stop out of Moises Munoz before striker Aldo de Nigris finished from close range.
The goal to the aggregate score to 4-3 but the referee blew the whistle soon after, advancing America to the Liga MX Clasura finals against Cruz Azul.
Leg one of the finals will be played at Estadio Azul in Mexico City on Thursday with the return leg at Estadio Azteca on Sunday.
The Chicago Fire take on Club America in an international friendly on Wednesday, July 10 at Toyota Park.
Atletico de Madrid takes Copa del Rey title
Atletico Madrid over came a 25-match winless run against city rivals Real Madrid and a 1-0 deficit to win the Copa del Rey 2-1 in extra time at the Santiago Bernabeu on Friday night.
Real Madrid took the early lead when Cristiano Ronaldo rose above the rest to head home a corner kick in the 14th minute.
Atletico would respond 21 minutes later when Radamel Falcao did yeoman's work at midfield before springing Diego Costa between two Madrid defenders. The Brazilian fired from the top of the penalty area and beating 'keeper Diego Lopez inside the left post.
You could see Real Madrid begin to come undone in the 75th minute when manager Jose Mourinho was sent off for leaving the technical area to argue a play.
Fifteen minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked Atletico defender Juanfran but the offense went unnoticed and the teams went to extra time level at 1-1.
Atletico would find the game-winner off a corner. Koke's take from the right was headed straight back to him but he whipped in another ball which found the head of Brazilian defender MIranda to beat Diego Lopez inside the near post.
The wheels came off for Real Madrid when Ronaldo was sent off following a scuffle at midfield in the 115th minute.
Shortly thereafter the referee blew the whistle, confirming Atletico's 2-1 triumph. The victory gave the club its 10th Copa del Rey title and first since 1996.
Was nice to wake up to this news this morning that U.S. international and current Aston Villa first-choice 'keeper Brad Guzan would like to return to MLS one day and potentially suit up for his hometown Chicago Fire.
A product of Homer Glen, Ill., Guzan was quoted as saying, "Hopefully, I will get the opportunity, when I'm finished playing in Europe, to go back and play in it.
"Especially being from Chicago, which has a team. I'd love to go back and play for the Chicago Fire in front of friends and family. That would be pretty neat."
Guzan of course teamed with current Fire forward Chris Rolfe on the Chicago Fire PDL side that went a near perfect 17-1-0 en route to the league's regular season championship that year.
Having played two seasons at the University of South Carolina, Guzan left college to sign with MLS and was picked second overall by Chivas USA in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft.
At just 28 years old and with the Fire having a 'keeper in Sean Johnson who is nipping at his heels for the number two spot with the U.S., Guzan won't likely return stateside anytime soon but would likely be a welcome addition for many a Fire fan down the road...
Alvaro Fernandez made his 12th cap and first appearance for Uruguay since November 2011, coming on as a substitute in la Celeste's 4-1 loss against Bolivia in the high climbs of La Paz Tuesday night. Already down 4-0 by the time he entered the match for Diego Forlan in the 65th minute, Uruguay would pull a goal back through Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's 80th minute free kick.
The loss extends Uruguay's winless run in qualifying to four matches, with the sole point in that time coming in the team's 1-1 home draw against Ecuador last month. Even with the slump Uruguay sits in fifth place playoff spot, tied with Venezuela and Chile on 12 points after nine matches played.
Fernandez will hope to be back in the squad when CONMEBOL qualifying resumes with a home match against Paraguay on March 22.
Flaco will return to Chicago tonight and is expected to be available for the Fire's match Saturday at New England.
With only one Chicago Fire player away on international duty, this could have been a very short international wrap.
Taking a different angle, my aim is to show the international nature of the current roster by recapping how all of the first team player's national sides did in World Cup qualification Friday night…
Uruguay – Called back to Uruguay for the first time in a while, midfielder Alvaro Fernandez was an unused sub, watching from the sidelines as a Lionel Messi brace led Argentina to a 3-0 win over La Celeste in Mendoza.
Flaco and Uruguay remain in fourth place in CONMEBOL qualification and will hope to rebound on Tuesday when they travel to La Paz for a match against second from bottom Bolivia.
USA – The Fire's American contingent might have been biting their finger nails much of Friday night as Juergen Klinsmann's side eeked out a late 2-1 victory at Antigua & Barbuda. Making his first national team appearance since 2010, forward Eddie Johnson nodded the U.S. ahead in the 20th minute before Antigua's Dexter Blackstock equalized five minutes later.
With the U.S. looking disjointed for much of the second half, Johnson would reward Klinsmann's confidence in him by heading home U.S. debutant Alan Gordon's 90th minute cross to give the American's a 2-1 win.
That victory combined with Guatemala's 2-1 win over Jamaica (in which former Fire midfielder Marco Pappa played 68 minutes) means the Americans and los Chapines sit tied on 10 points and need only a draw against each other on Tuesday for both teams to advance to next year's final round hexagonal.
Costa Rica – In the Group B rubber match, Fire defender Gonzalo Segares got an early birthday present as Jose Cubero's 31st minute goal stood to give Costa Rica a valuable 1-0 victory away to El Salvador.
With the win, los Ticos return to San Jose needing only to defeat a lowly Guyana side that has taken just one point from five matches in order to advance.\. Costa Rica defeated Guyana 4-0 during their earlier group game played in Georgetown.
Mexico – Already qualified for the final round, Pavel Pardo and Guillermo Franco might have looked on Friday night to see Javier Hernandez, Oribe Peralta, Andrew Guardado and Angel Reyna strike to help Mexico batter Guyana 5-0 in Houston.
They'll close out the semifinal round Tuesday night against El Salvador in Torreon.
The Netherlands – Former Dutch youth international Sherjill MacDonald may or may not have watched as Rafael Van der Vaart, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Reuben Schaken eased the Dutch to a 3-0 victory over Andorra in Rotterdam.
The victory keeps Holland with a perfect nine points through three matches in UEFA's Group D ahead of the team's visit to also perfect Romania Tuesday in Bucharest.
Germany – Arne Friedrich was probably grinning from ear to ear Friday afternoon as Die Mannschaft demolished the Republic of Ireland 6-1 in Dublin. Germany got braces from Marco Reus and Toni Kroos as well as single strikes from Miroslav Klose and Mesut Oezil in the win.
Sitting alone atop Group C with a perfect 9 points from three matches, the Germans return to face second-place Sweden in Berlin on Tuesday.
Italy – Paolo Tornaghi's Azzuri had a little trouble in the first half but eventually overpowered Armenia 3-1 in Yerevan. Andrea Pirlo put the Italians ahead with an 11th minute penalty before Henrigh Mkhitaryan equalized in the 28th, taking the teams into the break at 1-1.
Italy would respond with two goals in the second half through Daniele De Rossi (64') and Pablo Osvaldo (82') to earn the three road points.
The victory keeps the Italians on top of UEFA Group B with seven points ahead of Tuesday's clash with Denmark in Milan.
Poland 1-1 Greece • June 8, 2012
The first match of the 2012 Euros featured Greece taking on hosts Poland in Warsaw. Polish Borussia Dortmund star Robert Lewandowski wasted no time getting the first goal of the tournament hammering down a cross from Jakub Błaszczykowski with his head. Although it would be difficult to top the bizarre opening ceremony, the referee did his best to become the focal point in the match due to several controversial calls, which were later described by some Greek supporters as "ridiculopoulous."
Greek Sokratis Papastathopoulos received a debatable red card for a push and the Greeks headed into halftime down a man and down a goal. At this point, I like to imagine that Greek captain Gorgios Karagounis gave a rousing locker-room speech reminding his men of Spartan King Leonidas from the film 300; "No retreat, no surrender!"
With this call to arms, his men responded though a goal from Dimitris Salpingidis to even the battle. Later, the match reached its apex following Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny's foul to give a penalty to Greece. Replacement goalkeeper Przemysław Tytoń made a diving save to keep the score tied at 1-1 with ten men on each side.
Ultimately, the result of this exciting inaugural match felt fair as both sides headed home with a point.
Russia 4-1 Czech Republic • June 8, 2012
Russia got on the board quickly with a goal from Alan Dzagoev in the 14th minute. Soon after, play was stopped due to a flare thrown on the field, used as a sort of makeshift firework celebration. On Sunday, the Russian Football Federation warned its fans to "Respect yourself, your home, and your team." Despite the interruption, Russia would continue to score fairly consistently throughout the match with later goals from Roman Shirokov, Dzagoev, and Roman Pavlyuchenko.
The Czech Republic was not silent though, with a lone goal from Vaclav Pilar. The high-scoring affair ended a superb first day of action in a group that was predicted to be lackluster.
As analyst Alexi Lalas has pointed out, the fascination of Group A comes from the idea that each team in the group truly has the belief that they can advance.
Netherlands 0-1 Denmark • June 9, 2012
Group B's first goal came from Denmark with a nutmeg from Michael Krohn-Dehli in the 24th minute. Krohn-Dehli has been marked in the media as a possible star of the tournament and could have transfer offers to leave his current side, Brøndby IF.
In the 88th minute, Denmark's Lars Jacobsen contacted the ball twice with his arm in the box, but the referee controversially let play continue. The Netherlands would end the match with 28 shots to Denmark's eight. Ultimately, the Oranje suffered the first upset of the tournament due to failure to finish chances.
Germany 1-0 Portugal • June 9, 2012
The second match on Friday featured the first meeting of giants, with Die Mannschaft facing off against Os Navegadores. Portugal set themselves up to absorb pressure for the majority of the match, in a Chelsea-esque manner.
In the 72nd minute, German Mario Gómez leapt into the air, heading down a cross from Khedira into goal. It should be noted that the cross actually deflected off of the back of a Portuguese player before making its way into the box.
Nonetheless, Germany capitalized on a created chance. In the end, it was all that they would need to assert early dominance in the tournament.
Spain 1-1 Italy • June 10, 2012
Saturday's matches in the "Group of Debt" began with Spain and Italy, the last two World Cup champions. The feared Chelsea goal scorer Fernando Torres began this match starting in his natural position, on the bench. Meanwhile, much of the commentator's attention throughout the game was directed at the holy terror Mario Balotelli. The Manchester City villain highlighted his performance on a breakaway where he choked by simply failing to kick the ball. Personally, I believe that he was trying to think of a fancy way to get by the goalkeeper and was unable to choose which trick on FIFA 12 he was going to try.
Luckily for the Italians, Balotelli's ineptitude was negated by Andrea Pirlo's class performance. His searing passes and assist on Antonio Di Natale's 61st minute goal were truly enjoyable to take in. Spain would not be outdone, however, responding three minutes later with a typical passing display that led to a slotted goal by Cesc Fábregas.
After the match, Spanish players complained to the media that the conditions of the playing surface made their usual, quick passing impossible.
According to Xavi, "It was super dry and that makes passing the ball difficult." Talk about first-world problems.
Republic of Ireland 1-3 Croatia • June 10, 2012
Saturday's battles between failing economies continued as the Boys in Green tried to hold their own against the Vatreni (that's "The Blazers," for any non-Croats out there). I'll forego the generic witty headline about the "bad luck of the Irish" and instead remember the tried and true virtue...you create your own luck in life.
The Irish failed to defend well, allowing goals that were softer than my new kitten. At some points it was difficult to differentiate whether Ireland was bad or if Croatia was good. Croatia's goals came courtesy of Mario Mandzukic (3', 48') and Nikica Jelavic (43').
Ireland did get a goal from Sean St. Ledger in the 19th minute, but certainly fell to a stronger side. That being said, some of my Irish friends insist that their side was just using this match to lull Italy and Spain into a false sense of security.
We're all soccerphyles in this office so the kickoff of Euro 2012 tomorrow has a lot of people excited. Having said that, most of us don't have a first-generation tie to any of the 16 teams that will play over the next month in Poland and Ukraine.
The Solution? Do a European Championships office pool! Earlier this week, our own curtain raiser for Euro 2012 was held in the break room at Toyota Park where 16 members of staff drew at random the team they'll be pulling for beginning tomorrow.
Some of the draw results and reactions in photo form...
Chicago Fire Juniors Manager Brian Roberts, the Portuguese Leprechaun...
Marketing intern Mario Gonzalez offends Germans everywhere...
Communications Coordinator Eunice Kim smiles with her choice of Holland...
Director of First Team Operations Ron Stern pulls Poland...
Communications Director Brendan Hannan shouts, "ALLEZ LES BLEUS!"
Operations Specialist Erin Kwiatkowski doesn't seem pleased about her choice of Russia
Erin seems happy for Season Ticket Services Rep Neil Desmond's choice of Croatia
Director of Player Personnel Mike Jeffries pulls Greece... Frank Klopas rejoices!
With the last pick out of the hat, I drew co-hosting nation UKRAINE! Lets just say I'm hopeful the hosts can pull a Denmark '92 or Greece 2004.
The complete draw whipped up by our Creative Services Manager, Kayser dos Reis... Enjoy the Euros everyone!

I come from a long line of musicians and I am related to a bunch more. My parents both sang. My late mother played organ and piano and, when young, could also play the accordion, while my father (who is now 91) once played various kinds of horns. My grandmother played piano and both grandfathers played fiddle.

State and local officials urged residents to take precautions as dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills were forecast for the region through the weekend.
They also advised those at risk of exposure to take shelter at warming centers, including Mathieu Senior Center; 420 Main St., Pawtucket. The site is open from 8:30-4 p.m. daily through Friday.
"Dress warmly, in layers, even if you are making a short trip to the mailbox," advised Woonsocket Emergency Management Director Gary Lataille.
Other tips for dealing with the cold include:
• Dress warmly even indoors, especially if you do not move a lot.
• Set the indoor temperature according to what's right for you. What is an acceptable, fuel-saving temperature for an active family may not be safe for an older person who has difficulty moving or takes certain medications.
• Check on friends, family and neighbors who might be at risk, especially the elderly and infirm.
• Remove clothing that's damp or wet; wet clothing can make you more prone to hypothermia.
• Know the signs of frostbite and hypothermia. Symptoms of frostbite can include loss of feeling and loss of color and usually happens on the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers or toes. Symptoms of hypothermia in adults can include shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, drowsiness, or slurred speech. In infants, symptoms of hypothermia can include bright red, cold skin and low energy.
• Avoid alcohol; it lowers the body's ability to retain heat.
• Make sure your car is winterized and is equipped with good tires.
• Call 511 or visit www.tmc.dot.ri.gov [2] for current road conditions.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A tragic accident that killed two teenagers is making the Legislature look at tougher penalties for adults who provide liquor to minors.
The accident happened in January of last year in West Paris. Investigators said the 18-year old driver in the case, Kristina Lowe, had been drinking and was texting while driving. She lost control and went off the road. Investigators said Lowe had been drinking at a party, and that adults had given her the liquor.
Lowe has been indicted for manslaughter and OUI, and is still waiting to go on trial. She has plead not guilty. No one else has yet been charged in the case.
State Representative Jarrod Crockett (R-Bethel) says the father of one of the victims asked him to sponsor a bill to increase the penalty on adults who provide liquor to minors.
Current law makes it a misdemeanor to provide liquor to minors or provide a place for them to consume it - unless someone is seriously hurt or killed as a result. In those cases it becomes a class C crime, punishable with up to five years in jail.
Crockett's bill would elevate that to a Class B crime, punishable by up to ten years in jail.
Crockett told the Legislature's Criminal Justice Committee his bill may need some changes, but he believes something must be done to send a tough message and discourage adults from providing liquor to minors.
However, the chairman of the state's Criminal Law Advisory Commission said that group talked about the issue last week, and is not supporting the bill. John Pelletier says the Commission members, including judges and prosecutors, have not seen any evidence that current penalties are inadequate or need to be made more severe.
District Attorney Geoff Rushlau said the current law is very rarely used. Rushlau told NEWS CENTER its common to prosecute people for furnishing liquor as a misdemeanor, but he had not seen a case where the higher felony charge was used.

Thousands witness grand Dasara procession in Mysore
Tens of thousands of people, including foreigners, Monday witnessed the grand finale of the world famous Mysore Dasara in Karnataka's cultural capital.
Marking the triumph of good over evil on Vijaya Dashmi day, the grand victory procession led by caparisoned elephants, began from the former ruling Wodeyar dynasty's Ambi Vilas Palace after a dozen priests performed rituals to goddess Chamundeshwari at the auspicious time (1.12 p.m.-1.40 p.m.) in the presence of Wodeyar scion Srikantadatta and his family.
Since Dasara is celebrated as a state festival, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah offered floral tributes to the mini idol of goddess Chamundeshwari after it was placed in the 750kg golden throne atop the caparisoned elephant Arjuna for the procession through the city's main thoroughfares to Bani Mantap grounds, 5 km away from the royal palace.
Recreating the grandeur of the past, the mile-long carnival had a dozen decorated jumbos, camels and cavalry on horseback, dance groups, music bands and 42 colourful tableaux depicting the various facets of the state, its culture and traditions.
"The Dasara fest is special as it is being held after rain gods blessed the state with bountiful rains during the monsoon to ensure a bumper harvest to farmers and prosperity to the 60 million people of Karnataka," Siddaramaiah told reporters.
The former royal family and their decked up palaces were the star attraction at the celebrations. The grand procession, which will culminate in a torchlight parade late Monday in the palace grounds, will be followed by a cultural fiesta, motorbike stunts by army personnel and a riot of fireworks and a laser show.
Security has been stepped up across the city to ensure peaceful celebrations with about 6,000 police personnel deployed on the procession route and CCTV cameras installed at intersections.
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) monitored the procession from the sky.

Carbon County's unemployment rate remained constant in February.
The local jobless rate registered at 7.1 percent in February, up slightly from 7 percent in January. By comparison, Carbon County reported an 8 percent unemployment rate in February 2003.
In neighboring Emery County, the jobless rate decreased from 11.2 percent in January to 9.8 percent in February. Emery County posted an 11.2 unemployment rate in February 2003.
At the region level, the jobless rate stood at 8 percent in February, declining from 8.5 percent in January. In February 2003, southeastern district experienced an 8.8 percent unemployment rate.
At the state level, Utah's February jobless rate registered a 4.8 percent, moving downward from January's 5 percent.
Approximately 57,400 Utahns were unemployed in February 2004. Last year, 69,000 Utahns were unemployed when the statewide jobless rate stood at 5.9 percent.
"Employment growth in Utah has accelerated rapidly within the past three months. One consequence of this is being seen in the unemployment rate trending downward. Further declines can be anticipated if the employment growth rate continues to move upward," explained Mark Knold, department of workforce services senior economist.
Utah's second primary indicator of current labor market conditions, the year-over change in the number of non-farm wage and salaried jobs, continued inching upward and reaching 1.3 percent for 13,600 additional jobs compared to February 2003.
"We are encouraged by the pace of employment growth. Utah finally appears to be snapping out of its multi-year employment slump. There are other parts of the country still waiting for employment growth to emerge. We are grateful that our wait is over," noted Raylene Ireland, workforce services director.
The 1.3 percent employment expansion continues the job growth momentum Utah witnessed gathering in the latter half of 2003.
The pace of job growth is somewhat surprising in that a 1.3 percent rate was not anticipated until later in the year, pointed out the workforce services officials. However, employment expansion may moderate when the ski season concludes.
Utah's employment growth during the last two months is founded in an overall upswing in business. But an extra push appears to be based upon seasonal factors. A good snow year and the fading of the post-911 psychology against travel combined to give the ski economy a boost, indicated workforce services officials. The ski economy includes not only resorts, but lodging, restaurants, rentals, and transportation.
The professional and business services sector represents a second factor influencing Utah's employment expansion. The sector added 3,100 jobs compared against last February. Nearly all of growth occurred in employment services - companies brokering in providing temporary workers to the state's business community. The twofold gain can be attributed to an upswing in demand as well as a noticeable slump last year when the demand for temporary workers fell sharply statewide.
Employment services dropped significantly in January and February 2003, explained the workforce services officials.
The decline did not match the historical pattern of the Utah's industry in the January-February time period.
Last year, the United States had entered into the final stages leading up to the implementation of the Iraq War. A negative business psychology anticipating the military action led an economic contraction, explained workforce services officials.
But last year's anomaly is contributing to what looks like will become a sharp job increase in the state's employment services sector during 2004.
Education and health services remain the state's most dynamic employment sector, adding 4,000 new jobs statewide for a 3.4 percent growth rate. The employment gains are concentrated in health services.
Utah's retail trade industry posted employment growth and added 1,000 jobs statewide in February.
Although modest, the growth represents a marked change from the job contractions reported by retail trade during the last two years.
Retail trade's core is serving the local population and the sector's expansion mode suggests that the correction resulting during employment contraction has run its course. Either population growth has caught up with supply or the retail trade product had contracted to match local needs.
The lack of lost jobs in the manufacturing sector represents an encouraging sign of the state's recovering economy, noted the workforce services officials. Manufacturing has been in a job contraction mode since 1998. Compared with last February, the sector reported 200 fewer jobs.
Utah's manufacturing sector has lost 5,000 positions during the course of the last several years and, for the industry to be approaching a point of employment stability is a welcome sign, concluded the workforce services officials.

Stranded gas and hydrocarbons in Russia compete with new shale gas in the US
January 3, 2013 | Ian Young
Despite all the talk of low-cost feedstocks in the United States due to the impact of shale gas, the low alternative value of liquid hydrocarbons in Russia is keeping existing Russian steam crackers highly competitive on the world market, says a recent special report by IHS Chemical. The charts below show the delivered polyethylene (PE) costs for Russia--and one of Russia's major producers, Sibur--to be close to, or below, the average PE delivered cost from North America into Europe or China in 2013. A similar situation does not apply for...

|UPDATE: Weather; Wet to White to Windy
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 20 December 2012 17:47
So we watched the temperature drop, the wind speeds rise, the rain turn to snow, but so far, not too bad. BREMCO was reporting just under 300 customers without power, those in far northwestern Ashe, but most of those have been restored, and outages are down to just over 100.
Late yesterday, DOT and municipal crews outfitted their trucks with scrapers and solution to keep the roads clear, and some places saw wet roads become icy, then topped by snow, but there are few troubles reported overnight. Snow totals could be several inches, according to forecasters, especially on western facing slopes.
But the weather is good news for the ski industry and all the businesses that count on those who come to the slopes. Industry figures show that ski slopes can get 25% of their season's revenue the week of Christmas, and with the cold coming just as the travel is starting for the holiday, it could be well timed for a great week of skiing.

Independence Day Notes
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 07/04/08, 03:18am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
- Marcus Thompson II in the Contra Costa Times reports, "It appears the Warriors aren't going to be able to snatch power forward Elton Brand from the Los Angeles Clippers. The buzz among NBA insiders is that Brand — by all accounts a class act — will honor his word and remain with the Clippers." [Hat Tip: Petey Pablo]
"Buzz" and "by all accounts" doesn't exactly translate into "dry ink," or even "verbally committed," but it might be about as concrete as it gets for a holiday weekend.
Thompson -- this time in the Merc -- reports that the Warriors will now turn their attention to Corey Maggette.
- Chris Kaman: Carrying forward the Uwe Blab legacy for the Deutschlanders.
- Your 2008 Clippers Summer Team. Keep an eye out for Pasadena Polytechnic High grad, former Penn Quaker standout, and Academic All-Ivy forward Koko Archibong. The Nigerian baller got a shot with the Lakers a few years back, and was last spotted bumping around the BBL in Germany. Archibong probably won't make the Clippers' 08-09 roster, but he's a Clipperblog favorite.
- From John Hollinger at ESPN.com: "On paper, few pairings seem more flammable than Mike Dunleavy and Baron Davis. Dunleavy is a control guy at the offensive end who likes to call set post-up plays over and over, while Davis has bristled under every coach who didn't give him free rein to launch contested 3s off the dribble with 21 on the shot clock. Don't get me wrong, Davis is a fantastic player. But I wonder how it's going to work when Dunleavy calls 4-down six plays in a row and whether Davis' disdain for structure ultimately will cause him to underachieve the same way he did for Tim Floyd, Byron Scott and Mike Montgomery."
I don't think it's an unfair point. The portfolio of post players Davis has teamed with includes the likes of P.J. Brown, Jamaal Magloire, and Andris Biedrins. So running point for a post team that's inclined to start things down low will probably require an adjustment on Davis' part.

UBS news

Sergio Marchionne, senior independent director of the Board of Directors of UBS AG, and Peter Voser will not stand for re-election to the Board of UBS AG at the general assembly of 14 April 2010.
UBS has announced that Sergio Marchionne, senior independent director of the Board of Directors, and Peter Voser have decided not to stand for re-election to the Board of UBS AG at the annual general meeting (AGM) which will take place on 14 April 2010. Sergio Marchionne and Peter Voser would both like in future to focus on their current demanding management positions and have therefore decided not to seek any further mandates at UBS.
Sergio Marchionne is chief executive officer (CEO) of Fiat S.p.A., Turin, and Fiat Group Automobiles as well as CEO of Chrysler Group LLC and chairman of CNH Case New Holland, a Fiat Group company. He was elected to the BoD at the AGM 2007 and appointed independent vice chairman and senior independent director in 2008. He is a member of the governance and nominating committee and of the strategy committee.
Peter Voser, CEO and executive BoD member of Royal Dutch Shell plc in London, was elected to the BoD at the AGM 2005. He is a member of the governance and nominating committee and of the strategy committee.
Kaspar Villiger, Chairman of the Board of UBS, said of these decisions: "I would like to thank the outgoing board members Sergio Marchionne and Peter Voser for their strong contributions to the management of our firm. With their comprehensive economic and entrepreneurial competence they supported UBS in difficult times and provided significant input to the stabilization and the successful initiation of the turnaround of our company."
UBS will provide information at a later stage regarding candidates to succeed the outgoing board members.

While these forward-looking statements represent UBS's expectations concerning these matters, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from UBS's expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) future developments in the markets in which UBS operates or to which it is exposed, including movements in securities markets, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and interest rates; (2) the effect of the current economic environment or other developments on the financial position or creditworthiness of UBS's customers and counterparties; (3) changes in the availability of capital and funding, including any changes in UBS's credit spreads and ratings; (4) the outcome and possible consequences of pending or future actions or inquiries concerning UBS's cross-border banking business by tax or regulatory authorities in various jurisdictions; (5) the degree to which UBS is successful in effecting organizational changes and implementing strategic plans; (6) UBS's ability to retain and attract the employees that are necessary to generate revenues and to manage, support and control its businesses; (7) political, governmental and regulatory developments; (8) changes in accounting standards or policies, and accounting determinations affecting the recognition of gain or loss, the valuation of goodwill and other matters; (9) limitations on the effectiveness of UBS's internal processes for risk management, risk control, measurement and modeling; (10) changes in the size, capabilities and effectiveness of UBS's competitors; (11) the occurrence of operational failures, such as fraud, unauthorized trading and systems failures; and (12) technological developments.

More detailed information about those factors is set forth in documents furnished by UBS and filings made by UBS with the SEC, including UBS's restated Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the year ended 31 December 2008.
