Be doubly careful when working for 2 bosses

Stockbyte/Thinkstock

Working for two bosses requires an employee to balance the demands of both with intelligence and sensitivity.

By Jacquelyn Smith, Forbes

?My colleague is an anomaly among the writers at Forbes. She splits her time reporting to two different editors. She jokes that Editor A owns her right side and Editor B her left, and some days she feels like she is being stretched both ways. But she says it all works out, because they all communicate well and share the same goals. Editor A thinks that has a lot to do with the culture of the Forbes workplace. ?We work in an environment where people always pitch in and want to help out,? he told her. ?We know that everyone is working their hardest, and people just don?t act resentful or put-upon here. That makes trust and cooperation much easier.?

As companies dismantle their old internal walls ? as marketing talks more to finance, for instance ? more and more people find themselves reporting to multiple bosses. Ideally, everyone involved has the same basic mission, neither boss is trying to outrank the other, and the person being bossed knows exactly what his or her tasks are and how the individual is being measured. In tougher cases, bosses may have conflicting agendas or views of the company?s direction.

?Communication is the most important part of it,? said Anita Attridge, a career and executive coach with the Five O?Clock Club, a career coaching organization. ?If your bosses don?t work well together, you have to negotiate with them to arrive at a win-win situation.? In that situation, said Attridge, explain to them both that Boss A wants one thing and Boss B another, and offer a solution that can meet both of their needs.

?The best way to please any manager or any two or three managers is to communicate clearly, leaving very little to chance.?For example, be clear about deadlines and deliverables,? said Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, a career expert and co-founder of SixFigureStart, a career coaching firm. ?The people who have the most trouble with these types of situations are those that don?t communicate well, take things personally, gossip and/or get overly emotional. You need thick skin and a confident demeanor to survive and thrive?in business. Remember, you are there to do a job, so focus on the results.

The younger and more junior you are, the harder it may be to push back. It?s the age-old dilemma of the person on the bottom rung: seemingly endless requests from seemingly countless people. ?You don?t have to be an order taker,? Thanasoulis-Cerrachio said. ?Give them feedback so they know what is involved and what you?ll be doing.?

At the other end of the spectrum, more seasoned employees should have more skills under their belt that can help in potentially difficult situations, like juggling multiple bosses, Thanasoulis-Cerrachio said. If you are more experienced, learn how each boss likes to communicate and, more importantly, know what their goals are.? ?Help each achieve their goals and you will always be employed,? she added.

Workers with two or more bosses often juggle multiple assignments that each boss considers urgent. It can be difficult to manage the heavy workload and the bosses? conflicting demands. Attridge says that in such a situation you should negotiate your deadlines. ?If you have multiple 8 a.m. deadlines, consider asking each boss if he or she could accept the work later in the day,? she said. ?The answer might be no, but at least you?ll have tried. You?ll very quickly learn which bosses are willing to work with you, and who is more resistant.? Attridge advised to always give bosses an alternative, rather than a flat-out ?I can?t do this.?

Learn your bosses? styles, and keep them at ease by making sure they know what you?re doing and for whom. My colleague says Editor B wants her to check in every 48 hours with an update on what she?s doing and any problems she might be having. Editor A is more hands-off, just wanting the work they agree on done on deadline. Neither knows what she is doing for the other unless she tells him. Most of the time she does so casually, by dropping by their offices with an update, but when she is feeling particularly busy and unsure how to prioritize, she?ll email them both with a list of her tasks and ask them for their advice.

My colleague says her type-A organizing works to their collective advantage. ?An electronic calendar is a must, and so is keeping it updated,? said Thanasoulis-Cerrachio. ?Ask what is important to your bosses regarding scheduling so there are no misunderstandings. It also shows you are a mature professional that manages your time and your relationships with ease.?

Serving multiple masters can have definite advantages, too. It can get you more allies and exposure within the organization, and you can benefit from experiencing the management styles and knowledge of two different people.

?Successful employees think strategically about their careers and where they want their careers to go,? said Thanasoulis-Cerrachio. ?If marketing is your focus, and one manager clearly has more of a marketing role, you may want to gravitate towards that person.?But don?t forget about your other boss.?Make them feel like you care as well. Remember that you can learn so much from anyone, so don?t let two managers throw you. Make sure you profit from every experience.?

Obama announces new sanctions against Iran

President Barack Obama speaks at a campaign fundraiser in Portland, Oregon, July 24 (Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Ima??President Barack Obama ramped up sanctions on Iran Tuesday as senior aides disputed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's contention that such punitive measures in the past have not slowed Tehran's nuclear program "by one iota."

Mitt Romney's campaign has repeatedly cited Netanyahu's words as part of an effort to paint the president's strategy for keeping Tehran from getting nuclear weapons as a failure and attack him as insufficiently supportive of Israel.

Asked about the prime minister's comments, Obama's deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, Ben Rhodes, told reporters on a conference call that "it is certainly the case that Iran has not yet decided to come in line with their international obligations."

But "we believe the sanctions have had an impact on the Iranian program insofar as they have denied the Iranian government access to revenue that they otherwise would have," said Rhodes. And sanctions have been "making it much more difficult for Iran to procure technology that would be directly relevant to their program."

Robert Einhorn, a top nonproliferation and arms control official at the State Department, said the United States has "a lot of success" in thwarting Iran's efforts to purchase materiel to advance its nuclear and missile program. "We haven't stopped those programs, obviously, but we think these efforts have had an impeding effect," Einhorn said on the same conference call.

"Where we certainly agree with Prime Minister Netanyahu is on the fundamental question that we have not yet seen the Iranian government make a decision to come in line with their international obligations,"? Rhodes said. "So we share very much the assessment of the Israeli government and Prime Minister Netanyahu that the purpose of the sanctions is to change the calculus of the Iranian government with respect to their nuclear program."

"And until they make that decision, we need to continue to increase the pressure," Rhodes said.

Iran stands in violation of repeated U.N. Security Council demands that it freeze its uranium enrichment program.?That process can be a key step towards developing a nuclear weapon, but Iran insists its goals are peaceful. American officials are divided on whether the Islamic republic wants to develop an actual nuclear weapon or, stopping just short of that, the ability to create one. Israel, which is thought to have an undeclared nuclear arsenal, has warned that it cannot tolerate the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran and signaled that it will consider a unilateral military strike to prevent that outcome.

"We continue to be dissatisfied?as Prime Minister Netanyahu is?with Iran's continued failure to live up to its international obligations," said Rhodes.

The new sanctions, announced in a presidential order, aim to tighten the economic vise on Iran's oil exports?its chief source of cash?by punishing firms or individuals that help Iran circumvent existing prohibitions under U.S. law. The Treasury Department also announced sanctions on two financial institutions?Bank of Kunlun in China and Elaf Islamic Bank in Iraq?for facilitating Tehran's petroleum sales.

"Since taking office, we have presented the Iranian government with a clear choice: come in line with your international obligations and rejoin the community of nations, or face growing consequences," Obama said in a statement.?"With these actions, we are once again reaffirming our commitment to hold the Iranian government accountable for its actions."

"The United States remains committed to a diplomatic solution, but the onus is on Iran to abide by its international obligations," Obama said. "If the Iranian government continues its defiance, there should be no doubt that the United States and our partners will continue to impose increasing consequences."

New sanctions also target firms or individuals that do business with the National Iranian Oil Company, Naftiran Intertrade Company, or the Central Bank of Iran, or help Iran's government acquire dollars or precious metals.

Residents wait on the roof of a flooded building in Anju City, South Phyongan Province, North Korea Monday, July 30, 2012. Officials said 1,000 houses and buildings were destroyed and 2,300 hectares of farmland were completely submerged in the city. (AP Photo/Kim Kwang Hyon)

ANJU, North Korea (AP) ? U.N. staff planned to visit storm-pounded counties in North Korea on Tuesday, after two days of heavy rain submerged buildings, cut off power, flooded rice paddies and forced people and their livestock to climb onto rooftops for safety.

The rain Sunday and Monday followed downpours earlier this month that killed nearly 90 people and left more than 60,000 homeless, officials said. The floods also come on the heels of a severe drought, fueling renewed food worries about a country that already struggles to feed its people.

Two-thirds of North Korea's 24 million people face chronic food shortages, a U.N. report said last month, while asking donors for $198 million in humanitarian aid for the country. South Korean analyst Kwon Tae-jin said the recent flooding, coming so soon after the dry spell, is likely to worsen the North's food problems.

North Korea-based United Nations staff will visit the two hardest-hit counties to see what help the U.N. team in the country might provide, Christopher de Bono, UNICEF's chief of communications for East Asia and the Pacific, said Tuesday. He had no other details.

On Sunday and Monday, rain hit the capital, Pyongyang, and other regions, with western coastal areas reporting heavy damage.

In Anju city in South Phyongan province, officials reported 1,000 houses and buildings were destroyed and 2,300 hectares (5,680 acres) of farmland were completely covered.

The Chongchon River in Anju city flooded on Monday, cutting communication lines and submerging rice paddies and other fields, said Kim Kwang Dok, vice chairman of the Anju City People's Committee, who told The Associated Press that the disaster is the worst in the city's history.

Boats made their way through the muddy water that covered the city's streets Monday. Many residents sat on their homes' roofs and walls, watching the rising water. A young man wearing only underwear stood on a building's roof with two pigs; four women sat on another rooftop with two dogs.

Helicopters flew to various areas to rescue flood victims, state media reported. Casualties from the latest rains were not immediately reported.

If it rains again before the water drains, the damage will be greater, Kim said.

Earlier this year, North Korea mobilized soldiers and workers to pour buckets of water on parched fields, irrigate farms and repair wells as what officials described as the worst dry spell in a century gripped parts of both North and South Korea.

North Korea does not produce enough food to feed its people, and relies on limited purchases of food as well as outside donations to make up the shortfall. It also suffered a famine in the mid- and late 1990s, the FAO and World Food Program said in a special report late last year.

UK police arrest teen over Olympic tweets

LONDON (AP) ? A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of posting malicious Twitter messages directed at British Olympic diver Tom Daley, U.K. police said Tuesday.

The first tweet told Daley that he let his dad down with his synchronized diving performance. Later, the tweeter threatens to drown Daley.

Daley's father died of brain cancer a year ago and the 18-year-old Olympian had hoped to win a medal "for myself and my dad." But he finished fourth on Monday, out of medal contention, in the 10-meter synchronized platform competition with teammate Pete Waterfield.

Daley tweeted a message complaining about some of the tweets sent to him by "idiots." He said the nasty tweet about his father came after he had been "giving it my all" in the bid for a medal.

Dorset Police said early Tuesday that a 17-year-old was arrested "on suspicion of malicious communications" in relation to his Twitter posts.

One of the first tweets read: "You let your dad down i hope you know that."

Another tweet, from the same Twitter handle, is apologetic.

"I'm sorry mate i just wanted you to win cause its the olympics I'm just annoyed we didn't win I'm sorry tom accept my apology."

Later, the tweets become more aggressive, such as one that said: "I'm going to find you and I'm going to drown you in the pool ..."

Subsequent tweets, spiked with profanity, also take aim at the media and other Twitter users who criticized his posts.

Police said the teen was detained at a bed and breakfast in the southwestern coastal town of Weymouth in the early hours of Tuesday morning, and is currently helping police with their inquiries.

In Britain, tweeting messages considered menacing, offensive or indecent can lead to prosecution.

A Quick Guide On Cleaning Headstones, Memorials And Mausoleums

One of the most overlooked areas of stone care is the cemetery. If you have ever visited a cemetery and looked around, what you would see is that many of the headstones are in poor condition. The reason for this is that the cemetery is not responsible for the care of the headstones or memorials. They are only responsible for keeping up the grounds that surround them. This makes the family members responsible for the cleaning and the care of the stone.

The other challenge is that most of the family members are not going to know how to clean the headstone properly and the cemetery staff usually won?t be able to help in this area. There is also not a lot of information out there on this subject. Here are a few basic things to consider when cleaning those precious headstones.

First things to know is if you are not comfortable or you are afraid you may ruin the stone, contact a service expert that may be able to assist you in this area. They can ensure the work is done properly and professionally.

The next step is to determine and find out what type of stone you will be working with. Generally, these stones are made up of either granite, marble and occasionally limestone and sandstone. It is important to know which stone it is because certain cleaning chemicals can be very destructive when used on the wrong stone. Acidic cleaners may be fine for granite, but with etch and dissolve marble and limestone. So don?t just rush out and buy any stone cleaner.

Marble

If you are dealing with marble stone, then it is extremely important that you stay away from acidic chemicals such as vinegar, cleaners containing lemon, masonry cleaners, CLR, or tile cleaners and various mildew removers. Check the product ingredients before using. Remember, stay away from anything acidic. A good marble cleaner and polish will do the trick, as it is safe on all cemetery stone surfaces. Please remember that when you are cleaning this stone, stay away from any harsh abrasives as well as wire brushes and any hard tools or cleaning materials.

Granite

Granite, unlike marble, is a much harder stone. It is also highly resistant to acids and will not etch or leave dull spots like marble. Granite is a great choice for headstones because of these reasons. A good granite cleaner should be used to clean this stone.

Limestone

Limestone is another choice used for headstones and memorials. Limestones are made up of calcite from shells, coral and other sea debris. It is considered sedimentary rock. The coarse grain of some limestones give them excellent durability, but here again they are susceptible to acid attack. Drop a drop of vinegar or place a lemon wedge on such a stone and it will leave a mark etched into the surface where it has dissolved away the stone within a few minutes.

Sandstone

The stone can be found in older headstones and is rarely used today. This stone is coarse and loose in texture. Sandstone is very resistant to acid and is rarely polished, but can be damaged with abrasives or brushes.

SEALING

Once cleaned, one is ready to seal. Sealing prevents discoloration should a colored liquid be allowed to seep into the stone. In effect, seals are designed to minimize staining. Once cleaned, you may want to periodically seal the surface with a stone sealer.

So here are just a few of the things to stay away from when cleaning your precious stone:

1. Abrasives

2. Acids

3. Pressure Washing

4. Heat and Torches

5. Miscellaneous Chemical Cleaners

There are many good cleaners and polishes out there that you can use to get the job done properly. Once cleaned, seal.

Remember, if you?re not comfortable doing the job, a stone care professional is just a quick phone call away.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) ? A man who had recently separated from his wife shot his two children, killing his 7-year-old daughter, before committing suicide, prosecutors said.

A family member called police Saturday night after finding the bodies of 41-year-old Daryl Benway and his daughter, Abigail, in the master bedroom of their two-story Oxford home, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said.

Benway's 9-year-old son, Owen, was found shot in the head in the kitchen and was taken to UMass Memorial Children's Medical Center in serious condition. Owen has been in pediatric intensive care, a spokesman for Early said Sunday. He said he had no additional information about Owen Benway's condition, and a hospital spokeswoman would not comment.

Benway's wife, Kelleen, returned home after the shootings, unaware of what had happened, and found a swarm of police cruisers and television crews, Early said. She was taken to the children's hospital, where authorities told her the fates of her children and husband.

Neighbors told the Telegram & Gazette that Daryl Benway's brother Shawn lived on the first floor of the home with his wife and mother. Shawn Benway called 911 to report the shootings, Early said.

Early said he couldn't speculate on a motive. He said the Benways separated weeks ago but were still married.

No restraining orders had been filed against Daryl Benway, and he had no criminal record, the DA said. He had a gun license that expired in 1999, Early said.

On Daryl Benway's Facebook page, his profile picture posted in December showed him with his family in front of a Christmas tree. He described the woman next to him as "my Beautiful wife Kelleen." Owen stood in front of him in a white dress shirt and red plaid tie, while brown-haired Abigail wore a black and white dress with a black hair bow.

Daryl Benway listed his place of employment as TJX Cos., which operates discount retailers TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, as well as Ross Stores Inc.

PST: McInerney sparks Union past Revs

Man of the Match: Jack McInerney ?was a major factor on both second half goals. His burst through the left side created the Union penalty kick. And his stoppage time header for the game-winner was beautifully clinical, a snap-down header at ?the far post off Sheanon Williams? swell delivery.

Packaged for take-away:

• Freddy Adu was back in the Union starting 11 following last week?s unexplained absence; he played along the left, rather than in her preferred, central area. (Later, he did move into a central role.)
• Shalrie Joseph?s exclusion was the most interesting starting lineup notation on the Revs? side. His fall in 2012 has been painful to watch.
• We know this about Saer Sene?s opening goal: that was one nasty, swerving shot. But it?s hard to say who in Philly?s 4-2-3-1 should have been nearer to the New England striker, who had way too much time and space to line up his blistering effort.
• Sene may look like a striker, but he was wonderfully effective as a right-sided attacker Sunday at PPL Park. Other than the first-half goal, Sene was dependable in possession and frequently creative with it too, with clever heel flicks that put teammates into good positions. He also cut through the Union defense in places, like when he put Shalrie Joseph clean through in the second half.
• I know there may be more Zac MacMath bashing; the young goalkeeper certainly has allowed some stinkers this year. But in my opinion, that shot would have undone a lot of goalkeepers. Plenty of experienced ones, too.
• Stephen McCarthy had two big, bold, important tackles in the game?s first 20 minutes as Union attackers broke through.
• When McCarthy was booked for hooking the speedy Antoine Hoppenot off the ball, it left both New England center backs with a caution after just 38 minutes. That?s a long time for both CBs to drag around a caution.
• New England played a high line of restraint, which choked off the space for playmaker Michael Farfan. Result: a lot of the first half from Philly?s side was dropping balls behind the visitors? back four, many of them aimed at the speedy Hoppenot.
• Adu was a non-factor in the first 45. He was slightly more influential after the break, but only slightly.
• Sene was denied a legit penalty kick appeal in the 49th; Sheanon Williams stopped Sene?s close-range effort with his hand. Referee Edvin? Jurisevic needed help from his assistant on that side but didn?t get it.
• Final total on missed PK calls: Probably two for New England and one for Philly. That?s not counting the one improperly whistled on New England.
• Benny Feilhaber had a little hissy fit when Sene didn?t feed his hard run into the 18. On the one hand, he was probably right. But is that what a team leader wants to show everyone?
• Looking for a big change, Union boss John Hackworth shifted? into a 3-4-3 for? the second half. But identifying the defensive assignments seemed elusive, so the result was more chances for New England until the 58^th minute penalty kick ?
• ? which really wasn?t a penalty kick. Kevin Alston tugged on Jack McInerney?s jersey, but it was definitely outside the penalty area. Again, Jurisevic? could have used from help from his assistant.
• More patient possession gave Philadelphia more opportunities, but lacked of aggression in feeding balls from the right side once they had broken through was costly.
• New England goalkeeper Matt Reis with the ball at his feet was an adventure in a couple of places.

Golf Tournament to Benefit Local Charities

Sierra La Verne always provides the perfect setting for a day of golf.

The economy is still riding the financial rollercoaster that started in the past decade, but the appeal of golf remains steady. In October, businesses and golfers alike will team up under the aegis of TEAM Referral Network to enjoy a day of golf and networking at Sierra La Verne Country Club, while benefiting non-profit organizations in their own communities.

Through their relationship with La Verne-based TEAM, several local charities ? including David & Margaret Youth and Family Services, also in La Verne ? will share the proceeds of the golf outing and mixer. Last year, the event brought in $20,000, and this year it?s expected to do even better.

??There are no sure-fire funding sources in this economy,? says David & Margaret Youth and Family Services Publicity Coordinator Julie Griffith. ?Most donors, whether private, foundation or corporate, have been hit hard by stock market fluctuations and general economic uncertainty. That makes it more difficult for us nonprofits to obtain the funding we need to continue providing our vitally needed services. The businesses in our TEAM chapters are supportive of their non-profit ?TEAMmates?, and this event is an opportunity for the rest of the community to join in while having fun and helping themselves through networking.?

?Before TEAM Referral Network had even one member, I knew that we wanted to offer a free membership for non-profits to join our referral groups,? says TEAM Referral Network founder Kelli Holmes. ?Business owners want to help their communities and TEAM provides these opportunities.? It?s a classic win-win. The TEAM Referral Network Charity Golf Tournament is yet another way TEAM and its business members support their non-profit members, and encourage local businesses to contribute to local organizations that provide vital programs and services in their communities.?

The Seventh Annual TEAM Referral Network Charity Golf Tournament will be held Thursday, Oct. 25, at the Sierra La Verne Country Club, 6300 Country Club Drive, La Verne. Early Bird pricing for golf packages starts at $115 per golfer. Other golf packages are available. Non-golfers are invited to attend the networking dinner/ mixer and silent auction for $29 per person. Advertising opportunities, including a variety of sponsorship packages, are also available. For more information call (909) 392-7770 or visit www.teamcharitygolf.com.

David & Margaret Youth and Family Services has a successful track record?of providing more than 1,000 clients annually a comprehensive range of services. They provide a residentially-based program and shelter care for adolescent girls, a foster family agency, adoption assistance, mental health services, family preservation and support, treatment for learning disabilities, a transitional living program, and school- and community-based education and programs. It offers shelter care for adolescent boys who are in the country without legal documentation and without an accompanying parent/guardian.?Additionally, it has a chemical dependency program that is certified by the State of California for residents who are recovering from substance abuse.?

28 July 2012

Joint Media Release

The Hon Dr Craig Emerson
Minister for Trade and Competitiveness

?

Australia's major sporting event industry will be showcased this weekend at a high-level networking reception in London as the Olympic Games gets underway.

Hundreds of dignitaries and decision-makers from future host countries will attend Australia Unlimited 2012, a multi-media event featuring interactive and audio-visual displays at Australia House, the Australian High Commission, on Saturday night London time.

Minister for Sport, Kate Lundy, will deliver the keynote address profiling the achievements of Australia's world-leading major sporting event companies, and launch an innovative app detailing Australian companies with experience in the sporting event industry.

Trade and Competitiveness Minister Craig Emerson said Australia's expertise in sports event organising was further proof of the diversity of its economy and of its exports base.

"This industry is important not only for the export revenue and jobs it creates, but also for its role in promoting Australian professionalism and skill in the biggest arena of all?international sport," he said.

"Following our successful staging of the Sydney 2000 Olympics and subsequent sporting events, Australia has established a distinguished track record in helping other host nations achieve similar results," Dr?Emerson said.

The guest list for Australia Unlimited 2012 includes delegates from countries that are either hosting or bidding to host forthcoming Olympics, FIFA World Cups, Rugby World Cups and other major sporting events.

Among them will be representatives from Brazil, Japan, Qatar, Russia, Spain, South Korea, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Minister for Sport Kate Lundy said the reception was a chance to mark Australia's contribution to the London Games through projects such as the London Olympic Stadium, designed by Populous, the Olympic Village, built by Lend Lease, and the blue hockey pitches, produced by Melbourne-based manufacturer Advanced Polymer Technology Australasia.

"This event is a wonderful initiative designed to highlight the strength of Australia's sport industry," Senator Lundy said.

"In Australia we have a breadth of expertise that has fostered our international reputation as the go-to nation for hosting world-class sporting events.

"Our major sporting event capability covers the full 10-year event lifecycle, including bidding, planning, staging, management and venue design and construction."

Minister Lundy will launch an innovative technology app called Track Record at the event. The app profiles 76 Australian firms with an unparalleled understanding and expertise in planning and staging major events.

The new app is compatible with both Apple and Android technology and available for download through iTunes and Google Play. In addition to the Track Record app, a special edition of the Australia Unlimited iPad magazine app will be showcased at the reception.

The electronic magazine features stories of major Australian sporting event specialists. For more information on Australian contribution to the London Olympics, download the app or visit www.australiaunlimited.com.

Kia Forte K3 official exterior images released!

The 2013 Kia Forte (called the Kia K3 or Kia Cerato too depending on the country) has been officially unveiled by Kia Motors, and these are the first three studio images of Kia?s new C-segment sedan giving us a clear glimpse at the exterior of the car.

The new Forte will go on sale in Kia?s domestic South Korean market first at the Kia K3, and it will feature a body that?s longer, lower and wider than the current Forte, with an extended wheelbase. Looking at the new Hyundai Elantra?s dimensions, we expect the Forte to get the same 2,700mm wheelbase as its H-badged cousin.

What?s left for us to find out is how the interior looks like, as well as what engine options the new Forte will come with. For the Elantra, the 2.0 litre sees to be gone now, leaving us with a 1.6 litre and a 1.8 litre engine. Will we see the same refreshed engine line-up in the Forte?

Boeing launches probe after 'engine issue'

Boeing said it had launched an investigation after an "engine issue" hit a test flight of the 787 Dreamliner a day earlier in South Carolina.

"A 787 experienced an engine issue July 28 while undergoing preflight runway testing in North Charleston. Boeing and GE are working closely with the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) and are committed to resolving the issue appropriately," the aviation giant said in a statement.

"While the investigation is in its early stages, we are unaware of any operational issue that would present concerns about the continued safe operation of in-service 787s powered by GE engines," the statement added.

Still "should the investigation determine a need to act, Boeing has the processes in place to take action and will do so appropriately," it said.

US media reported that a brush fire was set off, apparently by the debris, at the Charleston airport, which had to be shut down for more than an hour.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Japan Airlines was the only airline using 787s with the same type of motor, on four aircraft.

The report came after All Nippon Airways (ANA) said last week it had to repair five of its Boeing 787 "Dreamliners" amid corrosion problems on their Rolls-Royce motors.

US team expects tough challenge in chase for gold

LONDON (AP) ? It's go time for the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team. It's gold time.

The challenging exhibition schedule is over, marching in the opening ceremony is already a memory and the Olympic flame is burning brightly.

"We're ready," said coach Mike Krzyzewski.

They'd better be. Don't expect any opponents asking for photographs or autographs ? there are teams here that feel they can beat the Americans.

Although heavily favored to win the 12-nation tournament and capture gold just as they did four years ago in Beijing, the superstar-studded U.S. squad will face a talented field loaded with NBA players.

On Sunday, the U.S. opens pool play against France, an experienced squad led by San Antonio guard Tony Parker, who nearly missed the London Games because of a serious eye injury. Parker's ability to break down defenses and create in the open floor could pose an early problem for the Americans. And he's not the only headache for the U.S. as France's roster includes Ronny Turiaf, Boris Diaw, Nicolas Batum, Kevin Seraphin and Nando de Colo ? all currently on NBA rosters.

"It's a big test for us," U.S. forward Carmelo Anthony said, lacing up his sneakers Saturday before practice at East London University. "We're going up against guys that we normally play on a night-to-night basis, and those countries have put them all together just like we have. And at the end of the day their main goal is to beat the United States.

"There's going to be some good battles."

France will only be the first. This isn't going to be some easy sightseeing stroll along the Thames for the American team before stepping onto the gold-medal stand. Spain, Argentina and Brazil are all talented enough to not only compete with the U.S., but potentially upset the world's No. 1 team.

That wasn't the case four years ago, when the U.S. steamrolled through the field, winning by at least 20 points in each of its first seven games before beating Spain 118-107 in the final. Krzyzewski, who guided the 2008 "Redeem Team" to gold, believes a potential road to gold could have some dangerous bumps.

"The overall 12 teams are more talented, more seasoned," he said. "Spain is just in the prime of their ? 28, 29 (years of age). Brazil is in that wheelhouse. I think Russia's really, really good. Obviously Argentina, everyone says they're older but their heart and talent has not gotten older, It's just gotten better.

"There's just more teams that feel that they have a chance to win the gold medal ? and medal ? than they did in '08."

Count the French among them. They finished second to Spain at last year's European Championships, and maintain they won't be intimidated by the U.S. team's collection of All-Stars, MVPs and household names. France's players have no intention of being posterized on a dunk by LeBron James or Kobe Bryant the way 7-foot-2 countryman Frederic Weis was famously embarrassed by a soaring Vince Carter in the 2000 Sydney Games.

France, 0-4 against the U.S. in Olympic competition, isn't frightened.

"For us there is no fear factor because we play against them all the time," said Parker, who will wear goggles to protect his surgically repaired left eye. "We know they are really, really good. But it's not going to be like the other teams where they don't see them and it's like, 'Oh, wow, I'm playing against Kobe and LeBron.'"

Bryant likened France's offense to the one Parker runs with the Spurs. Everything starts with the ball in Parker's hands, so the U.S. team's challenge will be to make him give it up.

"Slow him down and surround him," Bryant said. "Keep bodies in front of him at all times."

This U.S. team, comprised of five holdovers from the '08 squad, five from the 2010 world championship team and two newcomers, was loose and relaxed before Saturday's workout, a final tune-up before beginning the five-game preliminary round. Durant and Anthony playfully horsed around in the foul lane and Bryant smiled amusingly as photographers jockeyed for position like paparazzi trying to record his every move.

The mood will be decidedly different Sunday.

That's when everything change. That's when it matters.

"Everybody expects us to win gold," James said. "And that's what we're here for. Nothing else."

In recent days, Bryant, James and the other U.S. players have been careful not to get trapped into making comparisons to the Dream Team. Bryant recently caused a stir by saying the 2012 Olympians could beat the 1992 version that included Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

Jordan called Bryant's comments "not one of the smarter things he ever could have done."

For now, the talk has quieted, the comparisons can wait. For this American team to be regarded among the others before them, there can only be one medal.

"The legacy will be determined if you win the gold or you don't," Krzyzewski said. "We're not talking about legacy everyday but it is. We're here to win a gold medal, and if we do less than that, then it will be a big loss for us."

Narrow escapes for Phelps, Park

Michael Phelps scraped into a 400m medley showdown with Ryan Lochte while South Korean hero Park Tae-Hwan was disqualified then reinstated on a turbulent opening day of the Olympic swimming competition here Saturday.

Park, whose 400m freestyle victory in Beijing was South Korea's first Olympic swimming gold, touched first in his heat but was stunned to look up and see the scoreboard showing he was disqualified.

A South Korean appeal was rejected by the competition referee.

But world governing body FINA's jury of appeal overturned the disqualification on the advice of their own technical commission, although a FINA spokesman declined to elaborate on the reasons for the reversal.

Park's time of 3:46.68 made him the fourth-fastest in the heats led by Chinese rival Sun Yang.

His appearance in the final later Saturday will leave Canada's Ryan Cochrane, who thought he had secured the eighth and last spot for the medal race, out in the cold, but Canadian team officials opted not to protest.

Park's rollercoaster day followed drama for 14-time Olympic gold medallist Phelps, who won his 400m medley heat only to find his leisurely time of 4min 13.33sec put him into the final by the skin of his teeth in eighth place.

Hungarian Laszlo Cseh, who earned silver behind Phelps in Beijing and bronze in Athens, was second in that heat and didn't make the final, in which Kosuke Hagino led the way.

Cseh's exit was just one of several unwelcome surprises for some of the sport's marquee names on the opening day at the Aquatics Centre, where Britain's Queen Elizabeth II made a brief appearance and US presidential candidate Mitt Romney was among the spectators.

Paul Biedermann of Germany, who set the 400m free world record at the height of the high-tech bodysuit era in 2009, failed to make the final, clocking the 12th-fastest time of the morning as Sun shone with a time of 3:45.07.

Phelps insisted his lackluster qualifying performance didn't rule him out of gold medal contention.

"I think the only thing that matters is really getting a spot in," he said. "You can't win the gold medal from the morning."

Lochte said he'd certainly still be keeping an eye on his compatriot.

"It's a tough competition, he's in the final and you can't count him out," Lochte said, adding that the heats in the grueling four-stroke event were all about getting into the final.

Lochte was content to finish second in his heat behind South African Chad le Clos, whose 4:12.24 was second-fastest of the morning. Lochte was third-fastest overall in 4:12.35.

Meanwhile, Hagino was delighted to set a Japanese record.

"I already broke the national record in April, so I just beat my personal best," he said.

Phelps isn't trying to match his great haul of China -- eight gold medals in eight events -- but he does have a chance to make more Olympic history.

As the two-time defending champion in all four of his individual events -- the 100m and 200m butterfly and 200m and 400m individual medley he could become the first male swimmer to win the same Olympic event at three successive Games.

If he doesn't work some magic in the 400m medley final on Saturday, Japan's Kosuke Kitajima could be the first male swimmer to do it.

Kitajima, the two-time defending champion in both the 100m and 200m breaststroke, made it safely into the semi-finals of the 100m breaststroke with the second-fastest time -- just one-hundredth of a second behind Australian Christian Sprenger.

American world champion Dana Vollmer led the way into the semi-finals of the 100m butterfly in an Olympic record of 56.25sec.

Aussie great Stephanie Rice, nursing a shoulder injury heading into her defence of the 400m medley title she won in Beijing, booked her berth in the final with the seventh-fastest time.

American Elizabeth Beisel led the way into the final, improving on her own world leading time of the season in 4:31.68. China's Ye Shiwen was second-fastest in an impressive 4:31.73.

The three medal-winning teams from Beijing led the way into the final of the women's 4x100m free relay, but it was 2008 bronze medallists Australia in front of the United States and reigning champions the Netherlands -- who rested their rising freestyle sprint star Ranomi Kromowidjojo in the heats.
