== Chicago PMI June 28 2013 ==

<html>YouTube
Chicago PMI ticked 51.6.

Consensus was for 55.0.

It's the largest monthly drop in over four years.

May was 58.7.

"The gyrations seen over the past few months are not typical for the Barometer and some of this might be attributable to the unseasonable weather conditions,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/ nike football t shirts]," 

Here's the comment from Philip Uglow, chief economist at MNI indicators:

Activity dropped back in June following the large rise in May. The trend level of the Barometer has picked up since the fourth quarter of 2012, and while these latest data point to some weakening between the first and second quarter, it is too early to say if this will continue.

April had hit 49.0,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/dallas-mavericks-c-73_77 Dallas Mavericks T Shirts], indicating contraction.

Another sign that volatility has returned.

:

The Chicago Business BarometerTM declined to 51.6 in June, the largest monthly dropsince October 2008, and down from a 14-month high of 58.7 in May. The gyrations seen over the past few months are not typical for the Barometer and some of this might be attributable to the unseasonable weather conditions.

Of the five Business Activity measures which make up the Barometer, four declinedwith only the Employment indicator posting an increase. Order Backlogs plunged deep into contraction to the lowest level since September 2009 and was the single biggest drag on Barometer. Faster Supplier Delivery times and declines in Production and New Orders also contributed to the Barometer s weakness.

Prices Paid posted the second consecutive monthly increase, following a lull in April,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/all-star-c-73_74 NBA All Star T Shirts], putting it back in line with levels seen at the start of the year.

Commenting on the MNI Chicago Report, Philip Uglow, Chief Economist at MNI Indicators said:

 Activity dropped back in June following the large rise in May. The trend level of the Barometer has picked up since the fourth quarter of 2012,[http://veterans.se/index.php/Anv%C3%A4ndare:MichaelBanksxx2#UN_Prolongs_Peacekeeper_Mandate_in_Golan_Heights_0 UN Prolongs Peacekeeper Mandate in Golan Heights 0], and while these latest data point to some weakening between the first andsecond quarter, it is too early to say if this will continue.

== These People Are Insane- Using Diesel Generators To Beat Cli ==

<html>Just when you think that the world has had enough nonsense about climate change up comes an idea even more absurd. People and companies in the UK are now being urged to start using diesel generators,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/ nike football t shirts], a horribly inefficient method of electricity generation, in order to beat climate change. Seriously, where do they get the people who come up ?
 
 NHS hospitals are being asked to cut their power demand from the   as part of a government attempt to stave off power blackouts,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/los-angeles-lakers-c-73_79 Wholesale Los Angeles Lakers t shirts], which the energy watchdog Ofgem warns could arrive as early as 2015.
 
 According to one energy company, four hospitals have already signed up to a deal under which they will reduce demand at peak times by using diesel-fired generators.

The background problem is reasonably simple. As we add more and more renewables to the grid that grid itself becomes more unreliable. For the supply of electricity by most renewables is in itself unreliable. The wind doesn’t always blow and the Sun doesn’t always shine (well, actually,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/miami-heat-c-73_80 Wholesale Miami Heat t shirts], it does,[http://www.online.uni-marburg.de/zfl-medien/zfl-mediawiki-1.19.2/index.php/Benutzer:MichaelBanks#Appreciating_The_Heroes_Who_Help_Us_Succeed_3 Appreciating The Heroes Who Help Us Succeed 3], but clouds can get in the way).
 
Further, we don’t actually need there to be blackouts for this to cause problems: just minor variations in voltage being supplied can cause problems for more delicate equipment. Like much of that used in hospitals for example and also, unfortunately, much of that used in large industry. Indeed, we’re seeing this problem in Germany currently (both in the news and from my own personal experience). Companies are installing their own, local, generating capacity as the fluctuations on the grid make it too expensive to rely upon it. Machinery is indeed being damaged by fluctuations in the power available.
 
And of course they’re not installing renewables to do this: if renewables were reliable enough then there wouldn’t be the basic problem in the first place. So they’re installing diesel generators: which, in terms of their carbon emissions, are vastly more polluting than the coal fired power stations we’re all being told we cannot use any more.
 
Which leads us to the awful possibility that by increasing the use of renewables we’re actually increasing emissions, not reducing them. Which really isn’t the point at all, is it?
 
What really gets me though is that this installation of inefficient plant, these diesel generators, is being proposed as a sensible solution to our climate change problems. When in fact, it’s highly likely that these installations will make the problem worse.</html>

== Ecuador President Spoke to US Vice President Over Snowden 0 ==

<html>MOSCOW, June 29 (RIA Novosti) Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said Saturday that he has spoken with US Vice President Joe Biden amid calls from the United States to reject fugitive intelligence leaker s asylum request.

 President Correa reported that he had a very cordial telephone conversation with US Vice President Joseph Biden,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/dallas-mavericks-c-73_77 Dallas Mavericks T Shirts], the president s administration tweeted on Saturday.

The conversation followed days of traded remarks from US and Ecuadorian officials over former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden's request for asylum in Ecuador.



The AFP reported from Ecuador citing the president that Biden "passed on a polite request from the United States to reject the request" adding that the conversation took place on Friday. It didn t elaborate on what was the answer of Correa,[http://66.225.201.47/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:MichaelBanks#Why_It_Doesn.27t_Make_Sense_For_Microsoft_To_Make_Its_Own_Phon Why It Doesn't Make Sense For Microsoft To Make Its Own Phon],[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/new-york-yankees-c-1_16 New york Yankees t shirts], an outspoken critic of the US.

Snowden,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/los-angeles-lakers-c-73_79 Los Angeles Lakers t shirts], whose US passport has been revoked, is wanted by Washington on espionage and theft charges following his leak of details of US state surveillance programs to the media earlier this month.

Authorities of Ecuador said earlier this week that they are still evaluating Snowden's asylum petition. Correa said there will be no decision made on Snowden's request unless he is on Ecuadorean territory.

== Moscow Police Seizes Navalny’s Mayor Campaign Leaflets ==

<html>MOSCOW, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - The Moscow police department said late on Saturday it had seized election leaflets of Russian anti-corruption activist and Moscow mayor candidate Alexei Navalny,[http://www.david-laserscanner.jp/wiki/index.php?title=%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:MichaelBanksxx2#Russia_Beat_Spain_in_RWC7s_Bowl_Quarters_0 http://www.david-laserscanner.jp/wiki/index.php?title=%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:MichaelBanksxx2#Russia_Beat_Spain_in_RWC7s_Bowl_Quarters_0], who secured an official nomination for Moscow s upcoming mayoral race 

 Under the law on Moscow mayor s elections, candidates are allowed to start their campaign no earlier than 40 days before the elections,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/cheap-nike-indianapolis-colts-12-luck-nfl-tshirt-men-blue-p-2007.html Andrew Luck t shirts], so members of [Navalny s] campaign headquarters acted in breach of the current legislation, a spokesman for the Moscow police department said.

The snap Moscow mayor elections are set for September 8.

A sanctioned rally in support of Navalny was held in Moscow s Trubnaya Square on Saturday afternoon. According to the Moscow police department, members of Navalny s election team distributed agitprop products in support of Navalny. 

 A representative of the Moscow Electoral Commission, who arrived [to the area], confirmed that actions of Navalny s campaign headquarters were illegal, the police spokesman said. In accordance with the law,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/new-york-knicks-c-73_82 New York Knicks T Shirts], those printed products were seized. 

Navalny did not return an email request for comment in time for publication, possibly due to late time in Moscow.
