The seven deadly sins.

The seven deadly sins. Should I be careful when I wave my wand during the next a couple days? Because for you the Message is still be same: - You are missing the point. It’s not like the crew of BA which “I make once” (calling them in my article the ‘Cross-dressed twats’) enter in strike. It’s not that Youshenko through the russians communicating with whom the make confiscation of the check 125 million euros in value: “Guys, you bought the Titanic’s tickets…” It’s not the next day after agreeing in the date for Proliferation Treaty signature, that the “casually” the Semiconductors’ NXP want to planning an IPO. Even it’s not the medvedev’s “fees” for 25+1% of “Technologii Holdinga”, (where the Basel II Inter bank Agreement is), when the two senior members of UBS arrested in the U.S. for fraud. It’s all the “treaties”… Man…, - it’s not that I determined to fight the fire with a fire. It’s not that I match someone’s mood. Even if I dislike it, like the unexpected visit (after Operation Ruthenium, after agreed date for signature “8/4”, after “greek redemption”, exactly day before of the Miller’s officialization with “british petroleum”…), - the three young spying creeps from Labor (PS) party, for the benefits of Aston’s “british energy” in my place… Today I can say where posted (or should I say “is place”) the impertinent Ashay’s question: “what-you-do-to-find-the-job?” “My dear friends” – “A PRETO”… And how I repeat for a couples of days now, even if you forget and forgive what I wrote, - I don’t. Also, but in another hand, I don’t take umbrage. However knowing that the appearens (immediately after Labor sunnies) of the baby car at my kitchen window, - I will have news… For which will pay dearly from my pocket… And wasn’t wrong. These guys are strong enough in theirs prayers. To asking vehemently theirs gods to me burn in hell. If not, which possible explanation to be found in the exactly that, the “clean 5 off-shores” refinery, upon which I spend tones of writing ink to exposing all the details yet in 2005? This May Elections? Well, “my friends”, - it’s possible. But, all this “arrangements” and “pre-arrangements” I call simply – the ongoing piggy faces from Brussels’ and Strasburg. The long phrase but which in total describing the all “Seven Sins” (see below the German text, which correspond to my point of view. One between others ways to made business connections through the COMPANY I keep.)). That baby car plus 800 gas stations in the UK, - make all my morning today… Than Elizabeth the II appeared before my woke-up telling me that with a bottle of whisky, - I just ‘jar head’… Me who never was, and since today, - never will be… If I wanted to protect O’Bama with his son medvedev, or the Greek with his son Socrates, or some cross-dressed twat with his son, - that the venture (see compilated articles) – effectively exceed all my expectations! If the City of London Corporation culture like that small tugboat at midnight are looking for lighthouse: - you nock in right door. I recall, that during the second re-election of “put – in” also the six politicians where killed in traffic accident in the Region of the UK’s Gazprom ship. And that not “… off cliff on a beach of Taen…”

Semiconductor firm NXP planning IPO: sources. Sat Mar 27, 2010 6:03pm GMT. NEW YORK/AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch semiconductor company NXP, owned by private equity investors including KKR, Silver Lake and Bain Capital, is planning an initial public offering (IPO), two people familiar with the matter said. A potential IPO could raise about $1 billion, one of the sources said. NXP was spun off from Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV (PHG.AS) in 2006 in a leveraged buyout. A consortium of private equity investors comprising Silver Lake, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR.AS), Bain Capital, Apax and AlpInvest Partners, bought a 80.1 percent stake in the company. The banks and private equity firms either declined comment, or could not be reached. NXP and Philips declined to comment. Philips said in January its remaining 19.8 percent stake in NXP had a value of 207 million euros ($275.9 million) as of December 2009, implying a valuation for the whole company of more than one 1 billion euros. KKR has already written down its stake in NXP substantially, saying in December that the fair value of its investment was $75 million on a cost of $250 million. NXP's Chief Executive Rick Clemmer told Reuters earlier this year that he expected sales to be flat to slightly higher during the first quarter, but was waiting for more clarity about the market in the second half. Private equity firms buy companies with the aim of exiting them a few years later, either through a sale or an initial public offering. During the financial crisis, leaving investments was very difficult, but the markets have opened up recently, allowing some firms to exit.

The seven deadly sins of the eurozone. 28/03/10 10:30. The euro was based on the idea that future crises would have a similar magnitude to those of the past. The recession left it to view some of the biggest weaknesses of the union. The euro is dead, the euro is doomed, the euro will disappear. Since its inception, has already lost count of the times which announced the death of the single currency, only varying the extent of such advertising. Such scenarios are exaggerated, maybe, but built on very real problems of monetary union. The drag of the doubts surrounding the budget crisis of Greece brought back the announcement of the beginning of the end of Euroland. Just as before, the announcement may be exaggerated. But no one doubts that for the euro area continues as an economic bloc worthy of the name, there must be a reform in Europe to 16, that addresses some of the major deficiencies of the monetary union. Contacted by the Economic Daily, several international economists have accepted the challenge of identifying at least seven deadly sins of Euroland.
1. Lack of a budget authority
2. States retain sovereignty in economic policy
3. Inability to expel non-compliant
4. Economies do not prepare for the euro
5. Little or no attention to competitive imbalances (Primeiro, olha para sua cara…)
6. Germany is the locomotive of Europe or grows at the expense of it?
7. Lack of authority of European

Russians prepare £1bn grab for UK fuel supplies. March 28, 2010. GAZPROM, Russia’s state-owned gas giant, is preparing an audacious bid to become one of the biggest fuel suppliers in Britain.
The company is expected to lodge an offer this week for a network of 800 petrol stations and the Lindsey oil refinery at Killingholme, Lincolnshire. The assets have been put up for sale by Total, the French oil group. It has hired JP Morgan, the investment bank, to sell its UK business, which employs 5,000 people. The business is expected to fetch more than £1 billion. The prospect of the Kremlin controlled giant owning key parts of the UK oil infrastructure could worry the government. When Gazprom was rumoured to be looking at a bid for Centrica, owner of British Gas, in 2006, ministers met to examine the “possible consequences resulting from any takeover of a major UK energy supplier”. The auction is part of a remarkable shake-up of Britain’s oil refining and distribution industry. Half of the refining capacity, built up in the 1960s and 1970s to take production from a booming North Sea, is up for sale as energy giants look to sever ties with the low-margin, low-growth British market. The most likely buyers are energy firms from the developing world eager for an entry point to European markets. Chevron Texaco, the American oil group, has hired Deutsche Bank to sell its Pembroke refinery in Wales, which employs 1,400, as well as its network of petrol stations for up to £1.3 billion. Royal Dutch Shell is in talks with Essar, the Indian conglomerate, to sell its Stanlow refinery near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Gazprom is expected to bid for the Total assets through its oil arm, Gazprom Neft. Included in the Total sale is the 247km underground pipeline from Lindsey to the Buncefield fuel depot, which serves southeast England and Heathrow airport. Much of the site was destroyed in an explosion in 2005 but there are plans to rebuild it. Other suitors include Essar and Valero, the American refining giant, and at least one private equity bidder. The same players may be interested in Pembroke, which could also attract oil traders such as Vitol. There is an outside chance a buyer could attempt a takeover of more than one of the refineries, giving it a dominant position in Britain.
