Thai Airways' new boss seeks tie-ups
Says partnership is one way to offset rising fuel costs
Reuters: Thai Airways will actively seek partnerships with other airlines to counter surging fuel prices, its new president said.
With fuel accounting for a huge chunk of operating expenditure, some carriers have rejigged their alliances, a few of them by partnering with Gulf carriers.
Australia's struggling Qantas Airways clinched a 10-year alliance with Dubai's Emirates in September, while Air France-KLM agreed on a code-share agreement with Etihad and Air Berlin in October.
"Since I took office a few weeks ago, I've been talking to our strategy department about greater partnerships with other airlines because that's the way to go into the future with the fuel prices," Sorajak Kasemsuvan said on the sidelines of an event in Frankfurt late Thursday.
Kasemsuvan, appointed in September, said he planned to talk to as many potential partners as possible, although it was unlikely a deal could be done this year.
"If the fuel prices are like this, you cannot go alone," he said.
Thai said in August it expected to miss its 2012 net profit target of six billion Thai baht ($195 million) due to higher fuel costs although revenues were expected to rise by about three per cent.
Asked if any of the three big Middle Eastern airlines - Etihad Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways - had approached Thai for possible tie-ups, Kasemsuvan said: "In the past, I think one of them had talked to us, but not right now."
While saying he would be keen to talk to any airline next year, Kasemsuvan said Thai's partners in the Star Alliance would be his priority when seeking partnerships. The 27-member group includes Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Singapore Airlines
and United.
"In the past Thai Airways may not have been forceful enough in approaching partnership but I think we'll go for greater partnerships and alliances," Kasemsuvan said.

Is anyone eating steak at the Tulip on Queen?
- t
- toronto guy Jan 15, 2010 04:57 PM
Are the steaks and sides as good as they used to be?
porterhouse/mushrooms/onions were xlnt
Still good?
Thanks in advance
Went a couple months ago and really didn't enjoy. If you do go, stick with the steak and none of the specials. Bleargh. Use the money to buy your own steak and cook it. Much more satisfying.
re: foodyDudey
I wouldn't even really consider it low cost. Steaks cost more than the keg if I can remember correctly. I go to tulip sometimes, I always get the liver and onions.
Went this weekend with the GF, and she has been dying to try their Turkey dinner (haven't been able to find anyone else that offers that as part of their regular/non-holiday menu....although I must admit, we have never really looked).
We were seated quickly and then we waited....and waited...and waited. I have always known that their service was spotty at best, but this was ridiculous. We noticed that another table that was seated about 5 - 10 minutes after us had already ordered and received their drinks. And we were still waiting. At one point, a server asked if anyone had come to take our orders, we told him that we hadn't spoken with anyone since being seated. He apologized (as it was not his section) and he said he would talk with our server. Within a couple of minutes, a woman (who was apparently our server) told us that she "would be right with us". Of course she said this as she was practically running by.
After that, we still didn't see any sign of her, and continued to wait. At around the 25 min mark, we just got up and left. I don't think that anyone noticed.
I could possibly understand if they were extremely busy and the place was packed. But it was after 2:00pm on Sunday, and the place was a little more than half full, and I saw at least 6 wait staff running around, not including the 2 behind the bar. It seemed as though we were in the no mans land. The tables surrounding us had either ordered, we eating, or paying.
It was really frustrating as I am fan of the Tulip, and I am always defending it against nay-sayers, but this last visit drove me up the wall. I know that I will return, but if the same thing happens on my next visit then I will not be going back
re: syoung
Given that the GF was looking for something specific, we decided to wait, as we didn't know where else to try.
Actually, the other server (not taking care of our section) came to us around half-way through the wait, which is another reason why we stayed (with the promise that someone was coming soon). I am sure that he told our waitress we were waiting, but she really did nothing else.
I like the Tulip because I know what I'm getting. it's not fine dining but it's good food, large portions and a decent price. I have eaten several steaks there and enjoyed every one. I always get the small sirloin. I recently brought a foodie friend who has eaten at every steakhouse in the city and he agreed that the sirloin was one of the best he's ever had.
re: air621
My ex-GF's granddad used to eat steak there when he won at the track, but I think that was in the 1940s.
I just go for breakfast, they do a good one.
re: JPJ
Went to the Tulip to take my boyfriend for a steak dinner because I had read such good things. He LOVED it, huge steak cooked as he likes it, very rare. This is difficult to find at times. The sides were horrid. I made a huge mistake and ordered lobster and yes it was dry and overcooked. The sides were awful. The service was not great and the setting is on the side of seedy. So, if we were in the area I would go to make my boyfriend happy with a faily inexpensive yet yummy steak. I don't eat meat so I would just have water.
re: pluckypear
I know that you don't eat meat, so this may not mean much, but whenever I go there I get a steak and a side of spaghetti without sauce. I just use the steak juices as my pasta sauce....delicious....
re: Leslieville
No recommendation there for her personally...just telling her something that she could pass onto her carnivorous friends...

November 26, 2014
DOHA, Qatar (AP) - Secretary of State John Kerry is calling for an urgent political resolution to the war in Syria. He says unless the bloodshed stops, the region could descend into a chaotic sectarian conflict.
Kerry met in Qatar today with 10 of his counterparts from Arab and European nations to coordinate aid to the rebels trying to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. He says all the nations in attendance agreed to step up aid to the rebels.
Without offering specifics, Kerry said the assistance would help change the balance on the battlefield, where regime forces have scored recent victories.
It was Kerry's first meeting with his counterparts about aid to the Syrian rebels since President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. would send lethal aid to the opposition despite concern that weapons could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists in Syria.

|Now in Stock: Arsène Schrauwen by Olivier Schrauwen
|Written by Sonia Lei | Filed under Olivier Schrauwen, new releases
|31 Oct 2014 1:30 PM
Just arrived and shipping now from our mail-order department:
Arsène Schrauwen
by Olivier Schrauwen
250-page full color 8" x 10" hardcover • $34.99
In 1947, the author's grandfather, Arsène, traveled across the ocean to a mysterious, dangerous jungle colony at the behest of his cousin. Together they would build something deemed impossible: a utopia of modernity, in the wilderness — but not before Arsène falls in love with his cousin's wife, Marieke. Whether delirious from love or a fever-inducing jungle virus, Arsène's loosening grip on reality is mirrored by the reader's uncertainty of what is imagined or real by Arsène. This first full-length graphic novel from the critically-acclaimed Olivier Schrauwen is an engrossing, sometimes funny, slightly surreal and often beautiful narrative.

It is common knowledge that the government buys a lot of services – over $300 billion worth last year – and that it's often an area particularly ripe for improvement. The Government Accountability Office recently issued what I thought was a genuinely helpful report, called, "Leading Commercial Practices Can Help Federal Agencies Increase Savings When Acquiring Services."
The report is about things the government might learn from looking at the practices of large commercial firms in buying services.
The first thing to note is that savings opportunities are far from trivial. Dell achieved 23 percent savings in its services purchases in the first year that it put an emphasis on improving services procurement, and has been saving an additional 10 percent a year since.
Of the many approaches that the large commercial companies practiced in their own operations, two in particular caught my attention.
For one, there was an effort to find out what different divisions of the company were paying for similar services from the same vendors. As in government, when companies first go through this effort, they typically discover wide variations. This becomes low-hanging fruit for strategic sourcing-type negotiations with the company's main services vendors. These companies also typically enforce, with more heft than government agencies do, presumptions that customers will buy off these contracts and get the good pricing the contracts create. This extends the strategic sourcing idea from products into services.
A second lesson from these companies is that "complexity drives cost." Commercial firms try to get better at seeing what the cost drivers are in terms of requirements. That is, what are the things the customer might request that add a lot to the cost without adding much value. They are often willing to accept a "90 percent solution" to keep costs down.
I suggested in a recent blog post that individual contracting professionals, and buying offices, should consider personal pledges to choose a specific contract where the individual or team promises to improve the way they buy during this upcoming fiscal year. A few commenters felt I was suggesting that contracting professionals are not doing a good job already. The fact is, there is overwhelming research supporting the proposition that setting a specific goal increases the chances of reaching it. And in the sequestration environment, just from a mental health perspective, civil servants need to take their destiny in their own hands and not see themselves as passive victims.
My feeling is that, armed with this GAO report, there are some real pledge opportunities throughout the government. Let's go for it.

Al, thanks for your comment. Agree with you 100%. Look, it's going to be hard to get this to happen in all of government. But surely there are program managers and IT folks out there who want to do something about this in their own organization. Let's improve step by step at a time.
The chart on page 2 of the link is interesting. I feel the Feds are set up well to "understand cost drivers", does a fair to weak job at the "standardize requirements" and "prequalify suppliers" techniques, and is abysmal at the "leverage scale" techniques. The GSA schedule is a hunting license and not a true leveraging of scale. I wish you all the best of luck in consolidating those requirements- every project manager thinks his requirement is unique and there is a lot of work to do. What do you think, Steven Kelman? Am I way off base here?
The criticism of you previous post Steve is the necessity to broaden the scope of your "pledge" to those entities that fall beyond the CO purview. CO's are often gelded when it comes to negotiating with not only the vendor but within their own team. I would suggest that you take the advice of the previous comments and start expanding your commentary to be inclusive of a larger procurement team effort. Often CO's don't drive the bus but are simply the navigators. We have no control over destination...just advise on traffic conditions and potholes.
Your two points in this article are spot on. Yes, price sharing would be advantageous, and reasonable expectations regarding cost/benefit would be welcomes. Budgetary practices often don't reward savings, but many COs would welcome a sober assessment and expectations management.
What I don't understand is that government in many cases does not understand how they would benefit from trying to become a 'preferred customer'. It is common in private industry. The more you engage a vendor and try to partner with them, the more they are invested in making the partnership succeeds. The adversarial some CO exhibit, lowers the success factor. It becomes an 'us' vs 'them'. Or better a lose-lose relationship. Maybe one day many government buyers will wise up....

Need one more Paris restaurant - help please
Headed to Paris first week of July for 4 days and need help picking a restaurant for our last night. Also, input on the current dining plan is welcome. Traveling with husband and 20 year old twins, all of us foodies. And it's the kids first time in Paris. Here's the plan so far:
- Lunch at Comptoir du Relais or at L'Avant next door
- Dinner at Fish (La Boissonnerie)- will only do drinks and light dinner/snack if we have full lunch at Comptoir
- Lunch at Le Cinq for husband & I (kids off on tour of city)
- Dinner at La Regalade St. Honore - (would normally not do Le Cinq and La Regalade on same day but kids want a substantial dinner that night --the things we do for our offspring!)
- Morning food tour of Montmarte w Meg Zimbeck--tastes and snacks during the tour
- Dinner - Chez L'Ami Jean
- Day at Versailles
- Dinner??
Additional details:
- For our last night I would like a restaurant with a more modern style of French cuisine since the other choices (except Le Cinq) are more traditional brasserie/ hearty type fare. I would like to keep it to 60 -120 E per person. I want to walk out of the meal saying wow, this is a place I want to come back to.
- A friend suggested Gaya (she had 2 excellent meals there in April) but I cannot find any feedback re Gaya on Chowhound.
- We are staying in the 6th but are willing to travel and don't mind walking a couple of miles for a post dinner stroll
- We eat everything; however I do have a shellfish allergy --but I find that I can generally work around it. For this trip we are not that interested in Asian fusion cuisine (from Northern California, eat alot of good Asian food and some fusion here)
- The 20 year olds are comfortable in both fine dining and trendy/happening environments.
- Both Le Cinq and Chez L'Ami Jean are repeats from a trip last year (thank you Chowhounders for both recommendations.)
I have combed the boards for the last week and have failed to hone in on an obvious choice for our last night---suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I went to Gaya a couple of years ago and liked it; I mean to go back again.
Remember that it's a fish/seafood centric restaurant and is quite "modern".
I strongly suggest Le Chatomat in the 20th. Its lovely, tiny, incredibly well priced, and the staff are friendly beyond expectations for Paris. You will need a reservation at least two weeks in advance, three might be better. Could not recommend it more highly. Found it to be just as good as places like Verjus, Septime, and Vivant, especially for the price (although the wine at Vivant still makes it worth it).
My two favorites in Paris for modern French cuisine are Agape Substance and Passage 53, I've been to both several times, and each dinner has been superb.
Two places we visited twice during our Apr/May visit that might fit your criteria are Neva Cuisine and Auberge du 15.
Le Comptoir du Relais = OK if you show up early enough before lunchtime but I suppose you know that already. L'Avant-Comptoir is better for a snack.
Gaya I'd recommend too.
Fish La Boissonnerie has gone seriously downhill since the chef left for Albion (right bank). I'd recommend Semilla, just across the street.
La Régalade Saint-Honoré, well, okay. If I really wanted good food as well as a substantial dinner, I'd pick Les Jalles, rue des Capucines. Flawless cooking. Come to think of it, that might be the last-night choice you're looking for. Please be warned that it's a bit on the expensive side.
re: Ptipois
We had dinner at Les Jalles last month. I certainly agree that it's a better choice than La Regalade, which I find merely acceptable in terms of food and especially in terms of atmosphere. Les Jalles is a great space with great lighting and a very good menu.
re: Ptipois
I a very much in agreement with Ptipois. With Le Comptoir show up at 12:00 or after 2:00 and it is easier. It will be interesting to see what happens to Fish now Drew and Juan have Semilla up and running, I would try Semilla myself, but I believe they have settled down their cheffing teams Fish may rebound.
As for Gaya - it used to be a favourite of mine, especially to sit at the bar (at least book the ground floor room). That is before the then chef headed off and opened Jadis. It is a Gagnaire restaurant and Pierre does rotate some of his staff from his 3 star restaurant through Gaya for experience so I would expect the kitchen team to be good and standards to remain excellent.
Went to Terroir Parisien in the 5th last mont and really enjoyed it. Big and Airy, it's classic bistro food with modern twist and fresh local ingredients. I reccomend it highly and you can reserve online!
Thanks to everyone on their great suggestions. Here's a revised plan:
- Lunch at Comptoir du Relais
- Dinner at Terroir Parisien
- Lunch at Le Cinq for husband & I (kids off on tour of city)
- Dinner at Dans les Landes or Semilla
- Morning food tour of Montmarte w Meg Zimbeck--tastes and snacks during the tour
- Dinner - Chez L'Ami Jean
- Day at Versailles
- Dinner at Saturne or Les Jalles?
Based on the above list, would you choose Saturne or Les Jalles for the last night fab meal? Are the wines problematic at Saturne due to the biodynamic aspect? How would you compare the atmosphere between the two restaurants? Is one more vibrant than the other? They both appear to be strong food choices...
re: annebach
Have found the wines to be a great part of Saturne, yes they are bio, and some are oxidised, but in a very, very good way. Last time l did the pairing with dinner l was amazed at the diversity of the flavors and the perfect matching, it gets you a lot of wine, a great lot of wine if you do the pairing.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Sounds good. Just not used to hearing the words "oxized" and great wine in the same sentence. After looking into things a bit more have decided that Saturne is perfect. And it will be interesting to try the wine pairing.
re: annebach
There's a big difference between "oxidation" in wines and "controlled oxidation". The former is an unhappy accident and the latter is a desired effect. Think dry sherry, vin de voile, etc.
In order to distinguish one for the other, it is customary to use the terme "oxidative" for the latter instead of "oxidised". At least that is what is done in French (oxydé, oxydatif, oxydation ménagée).
re: Ptipois
Thank you for the additional clarification. Booked Saturne for our last night so will hopefully be drinking some of these interesting wines...
re: annebach
Great choice.
re: Ptipois
Whilst I agree, and some Bio wines are pretty good, I find a lot a pretty atrocious. IMO a case of "emperors new clothes". I believe some wine styles benefit from it whist for others it is a gimmick. A good aged Rioja in classic style can be a superb contrast to the modern big over fruited wines. But, and it is a big but, lots of the bio wines are pretty averge, and many are verging on the faulty.
My advice with Saturne (and other Bio places) is to try the wines, be brave and experiment. A few are great. But if it doesn't taste great don't blame yourself and think you don't get it. Simply ask for something else until you find something good.
re: PhilD
Random thought. We often go out of our way to find bio produce and meat, celebrate the Raspail bio market, but happily skarf wine from vines that have been heavily doused with herbicides and pesticides without questioning the residue of these chemicals. This method of vintaculture is only a handful of decades old, so we really have no track record for the long range effects of these residues.
The option of trying even average but clean wines is not without merit, IMHO. And given time may take us back to the excellent wines produced before the government pushed for greater production through chemical intervention.
Just thinking out loud...
re: PhilD
Just for clarification:
Are you equating the difference between modern riojas and the old-style riojas with the difference between "natural wines" and, well, all other wines? (for lack of a proper terminology, advocates of "natural wines" make all other wines pass as "unnatural", which has been so far an unsolved problem).
And, also, could there possibly be in what you wrote a confusion between bio wines and natural wines?
The three dichotomies (modern rioja / old-style rioja, natural wines / other wines, bio wines / natural wines) are definitely distinct. So could we go a little further in those distinctions?
re: Ptipois
Sorry should have been clearer. My Rioja comment was related to the oxidized comment as the old style was was deliberatly oxidized compared to a modern one.
And I should have been clearer on the Bio term, I used it as short hand for Biodynamaic rather than the meaning the French term Bio which means organic - which is different. And whilst I appreciate that Natural and Biodynamic wines are slightly different catagories they are in effect very similar in terms of the wine that is produced as Biodynamic grapes are often used to produce natural wines, and many natural wines use biodynamic grapes.
You may also consider Neva Cuisine... It was our favorite restaurant in Paris when we were there in May (more impressive than Chez L'Ami Jean, in my humble opinion). It fits the bill of being more contemporary than traditional, and is very delicious with great service as well.

Show Equivalence of the Modified BreathID Compared to Currently Approved BreathID in H.Pylori Detection
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to confirm equivalence of a new generation breath analyzer (Modified BreathID) in its ability to detect H. pylori compared to the currently approved BreathID® System.
Suspicion of Being Infected With H.Pylori
Device: Modified BreathID
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
|Official Title:
|Clinical Study to Evaluate the Equivalence of the Modified BreathID Compared to Currently Approved BreathID System in Detection of H.Pylori Infection
- Percentage of Patients With Dichotomous (Presence/Absence of H.Pylori) Outcome Agreement in Diagnosis of H. Pylori [ Time Frame: 25 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The marketed (cleared) BreathID device and the investigational modified new generation BreathID device will measure simultaneously before (baseline) and after ingestion of substrate. The subject will be connected to both devices. The maximum time of measurement is 25 minutes.
|Study Start Date:
|October 2012
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Clinical Suspicion of Hpylori
All subjects arriving at clinic with suspicion of having Helicobacter infection due to symptoms such as reflux, ulcer, gastric cancer and other clinical gastric conditions
Device: Modified BreathID
A new modified device, compared to the originally cleared BreathID measures breath from a subject via a nasal cannula
Other Name: BreathID Hp
Detailed Description:
The ¹³C-Urea Breath Test (UBT) is a non-invasive test for detecting the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection by the organism's urease activity. In the presence of H. pylori, the ingestion of urea, labeled with the non-radioactive isotope 13C, results in production of labeled 13CO2, which can be quantified in expired breath. Each test is performed using a test kit consisting of a 13C-urea tablet and citrica powder to be dissolved in tap water ("13C-urea solution"). Before and after ingestion of the 13C-urea solution, samples of exhaled breath can be collected using a nasal cannula for real-time analysis and comparison to baseline concentrations. The patient's exhaled breath is analyzed and the ratio between 13CO2 and 12CO2 is computed. The patient is considered H. pylori positive when the difference between the ratios exceeds a predefined threshold (5 delta over baseline (DOB)). The current device marketed by Exalenz is large and costly. Exalenz has built a smaller, cheaper and more reliable new generation device for this application. Equivalence is being demonstrated in this study.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Present with clinical indication of H. pylori

You know what they say -- held hands are the devil's playthings.
You know what they say -- held hands are the devil's playthings.
No, not a thing, I swear! I really want to read her book! And I'm not even a young adult!
The avatar is actually the residue of months of attrition. Here is what it looked like once. My avatar has gradually swollen to slightly more terrifying proportions and is now threatening to devour the whole blog.
I never did, although I stood perpetually in awe of her body of work. So many people have written wonderful tributes to her whose lives were actually touched and shaped by what she did that I think it's best to link to those.
The knowledge that someone like that will never write to you again can be totally stunning.
Still, one thing that startled me about the whole thing was that the reason we found out about her demise was that someone posted a grieving personal essay about her inestimable contributions a few hours too soon. What a strange commentary on the whole institution of lyrical public elegies that is. Monica Hesse (I'm not Monica, I swear!) wrote an interesting piece about it. But at the rate we're going, when we pass the news will go something like, "I first discovered the magic of Jeff's writing when I read his lyrical tribute to the passing of Adam Yauch and Whitney Houston. How strange that he is no longer here to contribute to the elegiac pool."
This being said, there's a definite value to public grief, and there is no greater tribute to a fallen writer than all the stories of the times his or her words touched you, so, have at it.
Shaking it up!
Bring gloves.
I'm here now! I hope you are as well! But yes, apologies for the traveling time!
Pics, please!
Ha! Or Greek. But that already sounds suspicious.
There is a plesiosaur in our midst!!! I always wondered about Nessie.
I can't make head or tail of that sentence in the party platform. What are they for? What are they against? "We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification)," What? Maybe they should prioritize the teaching of syntax.
To play devil's advocate, the thing about "critical thinking skills" is that they are often a nebulous ballooning substitute for learning Actual Facts or Information. It's all very well to develop synthesis skills, but you can develop those skills in isolation by watching animated whales or by actually reading and discussing an acknowledged classic.
But that might not be what they're talking about.
Hey, whatever keeps them off bath salts.
Oh, believe me, it's been touched on!
There's a scene in E.M. Forster's Maurice when the instructor, as a group of Edwardian college students are going along and translating some Plato, says, "You may omit the reference to the unspeakable vice of the Greeks."
This never happened to me as a classics student, so I'm up on it!
Ah, the sex lives of the ancients... Fruit for prurient speculation since the days we were wandering around with our companion plesiosaurs.
I think we may be talking about different kinds of bath salts...
No joke whatsoever! Beats "If I Did It" by several miles.
I've only gotten him in translation! The Yowza stands, however.
I tried to send a singing telegram to Orbitz, but they sent back a slapping telegram. It was less a telegram than a disgruntled-looking courier who made me sign her form and then hit me once across the face with a wet noodle and looked disgusted.
Actually, I sometimes wish these existed, if only to stop friends located on distant coasts from making poor choices. "Kathy has sent you a slapping telegram," someone would say at the door of your office, and then the courier would come upstairs and say, "Why are you still with Earl? He is a poor choice!" and hit you lightly across the face.
There were a few lewd urns, but fortunately none of them depict John Edwards.
Hey, whoa, that's not fair. And that's less a historical epoch than it is a Biblical Incident --
Oh, no, I forgot. Plesiosaurs.
But everyone was always urinating in the hallways...

text: Hillary Clinton Takes 'Full Responsibility' for Benghazi Failures Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 15 Oct 2012 post a comment Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told CNN's Elise Labbot that she "takes responsibility" for the security lapses at the American mission in Benghazi, Libya. In a Monday interview conducted from Peru, Secretary Clinton said the buck stops with her for the attack where militant Islamists murdered American Ambassador Chris Stevens and four other Americans: "I take responsibility" for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, were the first she has given about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions, Clinton said. "I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election... The Obama administration has been heavily criticized after Vice President Joe Biden said during last week's vice presidential debate that the White House did not know of requests to enhance security at Benghazi, contradicting testimony by State Department employees that requests had been made and rejected. Following the debate, the White House said the vice president did not know of the requests because they were handled, as is the practice, by the State Department. Despite this attempt to insulate President Obama from criticisms of his administration's handling of the Benghazi attack, the issue is expected to be a hot topic at Tuesday's presidential debate.

Shooting aftermath: 'He was motionless with his big eyes staring up into the rain'
July 1, 2014 10:17PM
Chicago, 6/30/14--A 17 year old boy was shot and killed in the street on the 600 block of east 50th place Sunday night during the height of the storm. He clung to the last bit of life partially submerged in the gutter of the flooded one way street. | Vincent D. Johnson/for Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 2, 2014 10:14PM
At my son's fifth birthday party on Sunday, a friend asked me if my block was noisy.
I replied as I always do: "No. It's a quiet, tree lined, one-way street.
But Monday night was different.
I found myself barefoot, ankle deep in water, holding the hand of a 17-year-old boy who had been shot during the downpour. I told him to hang in there and that the ambulance was on the way.

So the only thing that made the 1 ser stand out from Audi A3 (a much better designed care we can all agree - even bmw itself doesnt believe in the 1ser design otherwise it would not be making such a huge LCI redisgn to the front) was the fact that it was rwd and a better drivers car. Now with the now infamous bmw no feel esp across the entire range and no rwd, I can only imagine what bmw marketing boys must be going through...
So porsche now make the better drivers cars, merc the more luxurius/confortable and Audi the best looking, where does that leave bmw?
And from your quote the 3ser is still rwd, does that mean in 2 gen it will gor fwd too?
You boys in Munchen really need to start looking within, I can even lend you one of my boys if you need to start making great cars again. Just look at the new MX5 that came out today. Still RWD - not like the future Z a car I was really interested in until I found it will be fwd, smaller (yes bmw not every new gen needs to grow 10cm - someone clearly has a "size issue" in Munchen), and almost 10% lighter than previous gen (bmw saying that a car that weights 2 tonnes like the X5 and saying its lighter than its previous gen and when I read the small lines its only 15kg less!! 15kg yes, thats hardly lighter.

Posts tagged: unclaimed property
OLYMPIA – Odds are that you or someone you know has money waiting at the state Department of Revenue, just a few computer key strokes away.
The department's main job is taking in money from Washington residents and businesses. But every so often, it reminds people of its efforts to send money out. It's unclaimed property program has some $1 billion in cash, securities and other things waiting for their rightful owner to step up, fill out the proper forms and get what's coming to him or her.
That might be a rebate check for a few bucks that never found its way to your mail box.
But it could be much, much bigger, like some $2.2 million in stocks and unclaimed dividend checks a Puget Sound resident was able to claim in the last year. Erin Lopez, the unclaimed property operations manager, said the man's parents apparently bought the stocks when he was a child but the securities firm lost track of them when they moved and dividend checks started getting returned. Eventually everything went to the state for safe keeping under a law passed in 1956 which requires the state to hold assets forever in a person's name. . .

The autopsy of an unarmed man killed by a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer in September shows he had 10 bullet wounds, including five that were fatal.
The report released Friday also revealed no illegal drugs in Jonathon Ferrells system. The 24-year-old had a blood-alcohol content of 0.06, which is within the legal limit of 0.08 for driving, the autopsy results also show. He also had traces of nicotine and caffeine.
On the night of Sept. 14, Ferrell wrecked his car on Reedy Creek Road in northeast Charlotte and then banged on the door of a nearby house. The woman inside the home thought someone was trying to break in and called 911.
Ferrell was shot as he approached three officers who responded to the call.
Less than 24 hours after the shooting, Officer Randall Kerrick was charged with voluntary manslaughter. He is the first officer to be charged in an on-duty shooting in at least 30 years. The department decided Kerrick did not have a lawful right to discharge his weapon, according to a police statement.
Five bullets struck Ferrell in the chest and were fatal, according to the autopsy report released by the Mecklenburg County Medical Examiners Office.
Three other bullets struck him in the shoulder and werent fatal, the report said. Ferrell also had gunshot wounds in his left upper arm and abdomen.
The report showed nine bullets that struck Ferrell traveled downward through the body, front to back.
Chris Chestnut, an attorney for Ferrells family, said that shows Ferrell was struck while he was falling down or was already down, since he was taller than Kerrick. I think he was down to start with, Chestnut said.
But autopsy experts told the Observer on Friday that the downward path of the bullets had only to do with their trajectory and do not suggest the position or location of Ferrell to the shooter or vice versa.
The autopsy also showed abrasions on the upper part of Ferrells forehead. He had a small abrasion on his lower right forearm where he was handcuffed, according to the report. It is unclear from the report how Ferrell got the abrasions on his forehead. It is standard procedure to handcuff a suspect even after hes been shot, said Mike Bumcrot, who has followed the Ferrell case and is a California-based expert on the use of force by police.
George Laughrun, one of Kerricks attorneys, declined comment on the autopsy.
Chestnut said the report confirms everything weve said about Jonathon Ferrell from day one: He was an All-American kid who had driven a co-worker home when he has a horrific accident, looks for help from an officer and then is shot 10 times.
Chestnut said Ferrells 0.06 blood-alcohol content is irrelevant to the shooting. But he said Ferrell was within the legal limit to drive and had just driven the co-worker home.
A person of Ferrells weight 225 pounds would have to consume slightly more than five beers over two hours to reach a 0.06 blood-alcohol content, according to the University of Oklahoma Police Departments online blood-alcohol content calculator.
The only mental state in question is Officer Kerricks, Chestnut said.
Bumcrot, who retired in 2002 from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department after 33 years, said he wonders if Ferrell was injured in the wreck or was knocked unconscious and left in a state of medical distress when he went to seek help.
The autopsy report doesnt address whether Ferrell suffered any injuries as a result of the late-night wreck. The cause of the wreck is not known, but it appeared to be a one-car accident.
The Medical Examiners Office released the report at the request of the Observer and other news media. State law says autopsy reports are public.
The autopsy report release follows Thursdays order from Mecklenburg County Superior Court Judge Richard Boner about the police video from the shooting. The order blocked the Charlotte city manager and CMPD from releasing the video and gave control of the footage to the state prosecutor handling the case. Staff writers Ames Alexander and Gavin Off contributed.

A family of four and a worker killed on a dairy farm died from hydrogen sulfide, not methane, a coroner's report revealed.
Police originally assumed that it was methane that claimed the lives of Scott Showalter, his wife, Phyillis, and their young daughters Shayla and Christina, and farm worker, Amous Stoltzfus.
Rockingham County Sheriff Don Farley says assumptions that methane killed them were false. Dr. Stephen Phillips, of Rockingham Memorial Hospital, told members of the Mennonite community that it was instead hydrogen sulfide. The gas dulls victims' sense of smell as it reaches toxic levels.

According to the station, Steve Parsons was convicted of molesting a 14-year-old, and moments later he threw his head back, arched his back and had a seizure.
The station reports Parsons apparently swallowed a cyanide pill. He died at the hospital.
Sources told KCTV that authorities believe Parsons had the pill in his mouth when he entered the courtroom; the pill went undetected by courthouse security.
KCTV reports Sheriff Darren White said Parsons took a drink from a cup he was allowed to bring into the courtroom during jury deliberations.
A search of Parson's home and car revealed he had ordered cyanide to be shipped to his home, reports KCTV.
Parsons, a business owner, was reportedly arrested in July 2011 and charged with two felony counts of having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
