2015-01-20 04:28:14| Chemicals - Topix.net
Out of control inflation and long food lines in Venezuela may seem a long way off from the outskirts of Danbury, but at least one local company is being forced to alter its balance sheet and earnings outlook due to the ongoing crisis in the South American country. Executives with Praxair, a Fortune 250 company based in Danbury, have announced that the company will take a charge of more than $131 million during the fourth quarter and lowered its earnings outlook at a result of adjusting the exchange rate used for bolivars, Venezuelan's currency.

EU near agreement on roam like home allowance - report
2015-01-19 08:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The EU is nearing an agreement on giving mobile customers a fair-use allowance for roaming in the EU at the same cost as national communications, Reuters reports. The "roam like at home" option put forward by Latvia, which holds the rotating EU presidency, garnered the support of most member states at a Council meeting last week, EU diplomats said. A first draft of the legislation is expected in around two weeks, the report said, although it could still undergo further changes. Once member states in the Council agree on a position, they can negotiate with MEPs and the European Commission to arrive at a final version. According to the proposal, operators would have to provide data to consumers abroad at domestic rates up to a limited allowance, which has not been specified. Beyond this allowance, operators will not be able to charge consumers more than the maximum wholesale prices, currently EUR 0.05 per minute or MB of data. Latvia's paper says the proposed system would avoid the situation where retail roaming prices would be lower than wholesale costs.

A Fresno family was transported to the hospital early Saturday after carbon monoxide gas filled their home near Fresno State.
