The truth about the eurozone crisis Merkel and Sarkozy did not save the peripheral countries, they saved their banking structures The political price was heavy for the German Free Democratic Party, which urged people a couple of days prior to the state election, in Berlin on September 18, to "think openly" about an "orderly Greek insolvency". Berliner voters rejected the anti-European gamble of FDP chairman and Economics Minister Philipp Rösler and sent the party to its worst election results of the year– with just 1.9 per cent of the vote. The FDP failed for the third time, in 2011, to gain the 5 per cent hurdle to enter state parliament. Having already dropped to around 2 per cent in the elections in Bremen and Mecklenburg –Vorpommern in May and September this year, the FDP tried to gamble on the strong feelings of German voters against any further bail-outs of indebted peripheral countries.

Blues set up semi-final date with Barca - European - Football Card-crazy Skomina, whose performance in Arsenal's last-16 exit against AC Milan led to a three-match ban for Arsene Wenger, was at it again at Stamford Bridge as the Blues reached the last four for the sixth time in nine seasons. Frank Lampard opened the scoring after Skomina awarded a hotly-disputed penalty, one of several debatable decisions that included the first-half dismissal of Benfica captain Maxi Pereira. The depleted visitors laid siege to the Chelsea goal at times and Javi Garcia set nerves jangling with an 85th-minute equaliser, but substitute Raul Meireles blasted home on the breakaway to seal a barely deserved home win in what was arguably the Blues' worst performance under Roberto Di Matteo. They gave away the ball so often, it was almost as if they were practising for being without it for the upcoming clash against Barca.

Luli Sanchez Frequently Asked Questions Thank you very much to everyone that has written inquiring about artwork or fabric. I apologize that I could not respond to each email, but I hope this FAQ makes things a lot easier. What the papers won’t say Let’s try a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that BP threw an extravagant party, with oysters and expensive champagne. Let’s imagine that Britain’s most senior politicians were there — including the Prime Minister and his chief spin doctor. And now let’s imagine that BP was the subject of two separate police investigations, that key BP executives had already been arrested, that further such arrests were likely, and that the chief executive was heavily implicated.

Android apps scoop prizes in 2012 Smart Accessibility Awards contest The winners have been announced in the 2012 Vodafone Foundation Smart Accessibility Awards, with four Android developers each walking away with a €50k prize for apps designed for people with disabilities or elderly people. Ablah, Jaccede, Happen and Starting Blocks are all examples of the inventive work going on around accessibility on smartphones, but I sat on the judging panel for today's event and was impressed by all the finalists, who are operating in an area where social benefits rather than lucrative sales or big-dollar acquisitions are the reward. Here's a rundown of the winners, with links to the apps or the developer wherever possible. It was a condition of entry to the awards that apps be available on Android devices, but several entrants are also available on iOS.
