DTN News - CHINA NEWS: As Markets Gyrate, China’s Central Bank Tries to Allay Concern on Tight Credit
*China Stocks Recover After Volatile Day

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - June 25, 2013: HONG KONG — The Chinese central bank reassured investors worried about a lingering credit squeeze and declared that it had already been selectively supporting bank liquidity, as Chinese stock markets swung wildly again Tuesday after several days of volatility.

The central bank, People’s Bank of China, eager to rein in soaring lending growth and financial risk, initially refrained from intervening as bank-to-bank interest rates soared last week, but then apparently released more money for lenders. Uncertainty over the central bank’s position produced wide trading swings Tuesday, with the main Chinese stock indexes dropping to their lowest levels since early 2009 before recovering most of the day’s losses near the end of trading.

The Shanghai composite index, which tumbled 5.3 percent Monday, slumped more than 5 percent again by early afternoon Tuesday. It recovered almost all of those losses to close down 0.2 percent. The index’s total decline since a peak in early February has been nearly 20 percent.

After China’s stock markets closed, the People’s Bank of China issued a statement apparently meant to soothe investors’ nerves and maintain pressure on banks deemed to be carrying too much risk.

“In recent days, the central bank has provided liquidity support to some financial institutions that meet the demands of macro prudence,” the bank said on its Web site. “Some banks with ample liquidity have also begun to play a stabilizing role in circulating capital into markets.”

On Tuesday the bank pledged that it would apply open market operations — buying or selling securities to manage liquidity and rates — and other methods to offset “short-term abnormal volatility, stabilize market expectations and maintain stability in monetary markets.”

The reassurances were accompanied by a warning to commercial banks to contain risk and to report promptly any “sudden major problems.” Chinese banks that follow government policies in lending practices and risk controls can expect support from the central bank if they have brief capital shortfalls, the bank said. But wayward banks can expect tougher treatment, it suggested.

“For institutions that have problems in their liquidity management, corresponding measures will be taken on a case-by-case basis, while maintaining the overall stability of money markets,” it said.

“The stock markets are continuing to react to the very elevated funding costs,” said Dariusz Kowalczyk, a senior economist and strategist at Crédit Agricole in Hong Kong, referring to the recent surge in interbank lending rates. Those rates determine what banks pay to borrow from each other, often to cover short-term obligations.

Interbank lending rates, which began to decline last Friday, continued to do so Tuesday. The benchmark overnight lending rate, a gauge of liquidity in the financial market, stood at 5.736 percent. That was down from 6.489 percent on Monday and well below the record high of 13.44 percent reached last Thursday.

But with rates still well above where they were in the last 18 months, around 3 percent, anxiety over the effect on the financial system and the economy persisted Tuesday.

The central bank’s stance could help economic conditions in China, many analysts have said, by instilling more lending discipline and reducing the chances of asset price bubbles and loan defaults that have increased with rapid lending growth in the last few months.

In its latest statement Tuesday, the central bank urged commercial banks to “prudently control the excessively rapid expansion of credit and assets that may lead to liquidity risks.”

Still, many analysts contend that the central bank’s tough stance has risks.

“We believe the biggest risk comes from the P.B.O.C. potentially mishandling the situation,” Ting Lu, China economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said Tuesday, referring to the People’s Bank of China. “That being said, we believe the P.B.O.C. and Chinese policy makers will be aware of the potential dangers and take decisive measures to revive the interbank market, to calm investors and to stabilize the economy.”

In the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, the prospect of slower economic growth in China has weighed on markets for months.

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: The Armored Group Launches Their New Ballistic Armored Tactical Transport (BATT) S AP

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: The Armored Group Launches Their New Ballistic Armored Tactical Transport (BATT) S AP

Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources The Armored Group - TAG
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - June 25, 2013: The Armored Group (TAG) is proud to announce the launch of their new Ballistic Armored Tactical Transport S AP (BATT). The newest BATT S AP was developed to provide unequalled safety features and tactical capabilities in the field for deployment, extraction and medic services.

The Armored Group’s BATT S AP was specifically designed for law enforcement agencies that needed armored personnel vehicles armored to protect against NIJ IV and .50 Caliber Ball Round threats, but had limited budgets available to outfit their tactical teams.  This vehicle offers maximum protection on a patrol-sized Ford F-550 chassis, yet allows for the movement of 12-14 fully geared officers.  Although sporting the Ford OEM hood, we used our extensive experience in the armored SUV and Sedan field to incorporate the engine bay armor protection behind the fenders, behind the headlights and under the hood.  This process helps allow us to lower production costs and weight constraints on our unit, which enables us to pass these advantages on to our customers by providing a lower entry cost into high levels of armor and extending the unit to offer more room to transport more officers. 

Like our BATT, the “S” Series was specifically engineered and designed for officers in full gear to sit and use comfortably.  The BATT Family of armored personnel carriers have more tactical advantages built into the vehicle than any other unit on the market.  Our base model units give your department the safest, most upgradeable, flexible, and versatile armored vehicle platform specifically designed for law enforcement available today.   

Some of the specific, state-of-the-art features of the BATT S AP include:

·         Designed to hold 12-14 officers

·         Advanced engineered curved 1-piece wall design

·         Armor behind front fenders, behind head lights, & under hood

·         Custom designed flip-up rescue seat to allow side entry/exit

·         Adjustable (3-height) custom flush-in-floor sniper step

·         Passenger cabin door custom designed to allow entry/exit

·         Flip-out running boards to provide a safer platform for officers riding on the rails

·         Rotating turret with multiple locking positions and optic ready port

·         Large rear HVAC system

·         Roof and side wall insulation

·         4 x 4

·         V Mux control panel system

·         Extended rear officers area to hold more officers

·         Under seat storage

·         Re-engineered to accept the NIJ IV and .50 caliber ballistic ammo protection packages

·         The only size unit available in its’ price range

“Because of its’ protection level, deployment and operational capabilities, size and cost, the BATT S AP has quickly become a crucial tool and economical solution for many law enforcement agencies across the country,” said Robert Pazderka, president and founder of The Armored Group.  “We were aware of the financial limitations that many agencies have these days and it appears the BATT S AP provides a great solution.  In order to offer them additional financial assistance we provide free grant writing for our units that are eligible for grants through the GSA 1122 program.”

For agencies that require larger vehicles, The Armored Group offers the BATT XL, which has the ability to carry over 15 fully-geared officers.  Also available is the BATT S NIJ III Edition which was designed for departments requiring rifle round armor at an affordable starting price.  Our BATT S NIJ III Editions start at pricing for less than the cost of up fitting older Peacekeepers and brings with it new armor, a new chassis, updated tactical abilities, and full factory warranties. 

TAG also has a complete non-armored specialty division that builds units for warrants/raids (I.e. our NTOA Tested and Recommended RDV), Hostage Negotiators, EOD, Command Centers, Crime Scene, Equipment trucks, etc.   

About The Armored Group

The Armored Group (TAG) has over 20 years of experience engineering, manufacturing and modifying armored vehicles for use by government military agencies, law enforcement, private businesses and individual citizens around the world.  TAG will engineer, design, build or modify tactical armored vehicles for any terrain and any environment.  They specialize in three categories of armored vehicles:  armored personnel carriers, personal protection vehicles and cash-in-transit vehicles. 

TAG provides the highest quality armored vehicles available and sets the standard for customization, reliability and protection.  To ensure that all TAG vehicles meet the highest standards of safety, they undergo extreme ballistics testing and have received VPAM-BVR 2009/VR7 Ballistic/ERV 2010 Blast Certification for their Toyota Land Cruiser and Toyota Hilux armoring solutions. 

All facilities are ISO 9001 certified and managed by fully qualified and experienced professionals who serve customers around the world.

DTN News - AFGHAN WAR: 3 Dead After Taliban Assault on Afghanistan's Presidential Palace

Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources CTV News
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - June 26, 2013:  Afghan officials say a brazen Taliban assault on the presidential palace in Kabul has left three guards dead.

The militant group had earlier said that all eight attackers died in the early Tuesday attack on one of the most secure parts of the Afghan capital.

Militants with false papers and military-style uniforms bluffed their way through two checkpoints on their way to the palace before jumping out of their explosives-packed vehicle and opening fire on security personnel. 

Another carload of Taliban fighters got stuck between two checkpoints and detonated their own car bomb.

The Interior Ministry said a fourth guard was wounded.
