| Les Bleus défient la Bosnie en "finale" de leur groupe |
[13 Oct 2011|11:30am] |
Les Bleus ne sont plus qu'à un point du bonheur. Face à la Bosnie ce mardi, l'équipe de France n'a en effet besoin que d'un match nul pour se qualifier pour l'Euro-2012 qui se déroulera du 8 juin au 1er juillet. Par Marc DAOU (texte) Mardi soir, au Stade de France, les Bleus jouent leur qualification directe pour l'Euro-2012 face à la Bosnie-Herzégovine lors de "la finale" du groupe D. Avec un point d'avance sur leur adversaire du jour, un match nul suffit à l'équipe de France pour valider le fameux sésame pour la Pologne et l'Ukraine. Une qualification directe qui serait synonyme de retour au premier plan de la France sur ugg pas chere la planète foot, après la campagne catastrophique du Mondial-2010.
Jouer pour gagner
Et malgré l’énorme enjeu du match, l’heure est plutôt à l’optimisme après la victoire tricolore enregistrée contre l'Albanie (3-0), vendredi. Sous pression et privés de joueurs-clés comme Karim Benzema et Frank Ribéry, les hommes de Laurent Blanc n’ont pas flanché. Mieux, ils ont parfaitement géré un match piège, face à une équipe rugueuse qui n’avait rien à perdre.
En position de force ce soir grâce à son petit avantage au classement, l'équipe de France pourrait être tentée de jouer le match nul face aux Bosniens. Une tactique attentiste et risquée totalement exclue par l’encadrement des Bleus. "Pour nous, il n'y aura pas d'autres stratégies que de gagner le match, a déclaré Laurent Blanc samedi. On ne sait jamais comment va se dérouler le match. Il faut donc ugg pas chere se préparer pour gagner, se préparer pour avoir plus le ballon que l'adversaire. Le Stade de France sera complet, je ne me vois pas mettre dix joueurs derrière et attendre."
"Faire tomber" la France
En cas de défaite, les Bleus savent qu’ils devront passer par la case barrages et l’incertitude qui l’accompagne. De quoi effacer les progrès réalisés depuis la prise de pouvoir de Laurent Blanc - la France est invaincue depuis 14 matchs - et la légitimité, incontestée jusqu’ici, de celui-ci.
En outre, les Français n’ont pas oublié qu’ils avaient justement entamé leur opération rachat à Sarajevo en septembre 2010, où ils avaient rendu une excellente copie contre les Bosniens (2-0). Mais un peu plus d’un an plus tard, la donne n’est plus exactement la même. La Bosnie a emmagasiné de l’expérience et de la confiance depuis sa défaite face aux Benzema et cie. Pis, elle n’a plus encaissé le moindre but depuis cinq matchs. ugg pas cher Redoutable en attaque et très technique au milieu, son jeu rapide a de quoi perturber la machine des Bleus.
"Il n'y a pas une équipe au monde qui soit imprenable. La France n'a pas perdu depuis 14 matchs, on va essayer d'être les premiers à les faire tomber", a prévenu le sélectionneur de la Bosnie, Safet Susic. Obligés de gagner pour se qualifier directement, ses hommes seront toutefois amenés à prendre des risques et se découvrir. Aux Bleus d’en profiter pour conclure en beauté leur campagne de qualification devant un public reconquis.

| Chocolate Consumption Likely Reduces Stroke Risk |
[13 Oct 2011|03:47pm] |
Swedish scientists this week may have provided yet another reason to love chocolate, suggesting that women who have a couple of small chocolate bars every week were 20 percent less prone to debilitating strokes than those who eat none.
"Even consuming a relatively small amount of chocolate had quite a large impact on stroke risk," said Susanna Larsson, from Sweden's National Institute of Environmental Medicine in Stockholm, who led a large investigation that found chocolate reduced the risk of strokes caused by bleeds in the brain (hemorrhagic strokes) and strokes caused by ugg boots outlet a cutoff of blood flow through the brain (ischemic strokes).
However, Larsson said the benefit appeared proportional to the amount of chocolate in the women's diets. Subjects who ate about two bars of antioxidant-rich Swedish milk chocolate every week had "significantly reduced risk of stroke," compared with those who ate no chocolate, "suggesting that higher intakes are necessary for a potentially protective effect."
Larsson's two-bar approximation was based on the effects associated with consuming about 66.5 grams, or about 2.33 ounces, weekly.
The latest word on the chocolate's potential to protect the brain from stroke injury came from a study that followed 33,372 Swedish women, ages 49 to 83, for about 10 years, beginning in autumn 1997. During that decade, the researchers tallied 1,549 strokes among study subjects.

View Full Size Bambu Productions/The Image Bank/Getty ImagesSwedish scientists this week may have provided yet another reason to love chocolate, with research ugg boots ugg outlet suggesting that women who have a couple of small chocolate bars every week have a 20 percent lower risk of suffering debilitating strokes than those who don't regularly eat chocolate.
Researchers reviewed participants' responses to questionnaires about their diet during the last year. They then grouped the women by the frequency of their chocolate consumption, ranging from never to more than three times a day and looked for associations between strokes and the amount of chocolate the women regularly ate.
The findings, released today, appear in the Oct. 18 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
But before you run down to the corner store to load up on chocolate bars, be aware of some caveats. First, the Swedish findings don't prove that chocolate protects against strokes; they suggest a link. Second, the findings won't likely translate as well in this country because 90 percent of the ugg boots outlet chocolate eaten Sweden at the time the study began was Swedish milk chocolate, which contains a higher concentration of antioxidant-rich cocoa solids (about 30 percent) than American chocolate bars.
Larsson suggested that Americans might want to stick with dark chocolate, but noted that U.S. chocolate bars need only contain 15 percent cocoa to be called sweet dark chocolate. Dark chocolate, she said, typically is lower in sugar than milk chocolate and contains more of the important antioxidants that give cocoa its heart-healthy properties.
Third, the study was based on people's self-reports of what they ate, and self-reports are notoriously unreliable. Fourth, chocolate is higher in fat, sugar and calories than many other foods, so it should be consumed in moderation, Larsson suggested, echoing nutritionists' frequent reminder: Adding chocolate to an otherwise balanced diet means cutting back elsewhere. Finally, like other research into chocolate's benefits, the newest findings need more follow-up.
Past studies have found that chocolate reduces blood pressure, which applies to stroke protection because hypertension is a major contributor to stroke. It also improves the way blood vessels function and helps the body use ugg boots for sale insulin to break down sugar to fuel the muscles and brain.
In late August, researchers announced at the European Society of Cardiology 2011 that a meta-analysis of previous studies found people who ate the most chocolate had a 37 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 29 percent lower risk of stroke than those who ate the least chocolate. Those findings also appeared in the British Medical Journal

| Actions : attention au risque de change ! |
[13 Oct 2011|05:14pm] |
Quel impact aura la perspective d'arrêt du nucléaire en Allemagne et en Suisse ?
La sortie progressive de ces pays du nucléaire pénaliseDiversifier son portefeuille de titres sur le marché américain ou asiatique peut s'avérer dangereux. Et ce, ugg pas chere alors même que ces Bourses affichent des performances positives, voire supérieures à celles des marchés de la zone euro, comme c'est le cas aujourd'hui. Pourquoi ? À cause du risque de change. Sur un an, le dollar a perdu 25 % de sa valeur par rapport à l'euro, et depuis le début de l'année, 11 %. Même chose pour le dollar Hong Kong. Résultat : alors qu'en dollars l'indice Standard & Poor's progresse de 7,8 % depuis le 1er janvier, en euros, il affiche une perte de 3,2 %. L'épargnant européen a perdu de l'argent même s'il a investi sur des titres comme Apple, Google...
Il existe des solutions. "Si l'épargnant gère ses titres en direct, il peut acheter des options de change (warrants) ou, si son portefeuille est important, vendre des devises à terme, explique Aymeric Diday, gérant de portefeuille chez Pictet Paris. Mais mieux vaut passer par une sicav couverte contre ugg pas chere le risque de change." Il en coûtera certes un manque à gagner en termes de performance de l'ordre de 0,20 %, mais le jeu en vaut la chandelle ! "Attention à la confusion : ce n'est pas parce qu'une sicav est cotée en euros qu'elle est protégée contre le risque de change", met en garde Aymeric Diday. Pour le savoir, il faut le demander à son conseiller financier ou se reporter au prospectus simplifié. Certains fonds ont d'autre part une couverture flexible : le gérant ne l'actionne que s'il le juge utile. Avec le risque qu'il intervienne trop tard. "Chez Pictet, nous avons des sicav totalement couvertes. Et, de manière générale, nous surpondérons les marchés investis en devise locale, en l'occurrence les actions de la zone euro", déclare Aymeric Diday.
les perspectives de croissance des producteurs (Areva, EDF, GDF Suez...) ugg pas cher ainsi que des mines d'uranium, ce qui explique la baisse récente de leurs cours. A contrario, elle favorise les secteurs des énergies fossiles ou renouvelables, qu'ils soient producteurs ou équipementiers. Ces pays vont en effet avoir besoin de nouvelles infrastructures, et notamment d'unités de stockage...
Quelles valeurs privilégier ?
Le marché ayant déjà en partie anticipé le mouvement, il faut être sélectif dans le choix des valeurs et, pour certaines, investir sur repli. Nous privilégions aujourd'hui Siemens (jusqu'à 100 euros) pour sa diversification sur les énergies renouvelables, Schlumberger (jusqu'à 60 euros) et Vallourec (90 euros) en raison de la hausse des équipements que générera le report du nucléaire sur le pétrole ou le gaz. Nous reviendrons sur Vestas, leader danois dans l'éolien, à moins de 20 euros, Assystem pour son activité de maintenance et contrôle du nucléaire, à moins de 17 euros, et Alstom, à moins de 40 euros.
