NEW YORK - Domestic airlines improved their on-time arrival rates in May, although more than 1 in 5 flights still failed to get passengers to their destination as scheduled, according to government data released Monday.
A total of 21 percent of commercial flights in the U.S. arrived at least 15 minutes late, were canceled or diverted in May, according to the Transportation Department's Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
That is down from more than 22 percent of late flights in the same month last year and in April of this year. The previous month's figure was higher in part because AMR Corp.'s American, the nation's largest carrier, was forced to ground thousands of flights amid tighter government scrutiny of maintenance issues.
The latest government figures show American again had the most delays, getting passengers to their destinations as scheduled only 67.3 percent of the time. It was followed by UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, the second-largest carrier, which reported 72.4 percent of on-time arrivals, and Continental Airlines Inc., with 75.4 percent.
Weather was by far the biggest cause of late flights in May, accounting for just over 44 percent of all delays. Only about 39 percent of flights were late because of weather a year earlier.
U.S. carriers also improved their baggage handling in May. About 4.6 passengers out of every 1,000 reported a mishandled bag during the month, compared with nearly 6 per 1,000 a year earlier and 5 per 1,000 in April.
Reported passenger complaints fell to 885, compared with 930 a year earlier and 1,113 in April.
The U.S. airline industry is straining under record-high fuel prices, which have prompted many carriers to raise fares, announce sweeping flight cutbacks and begin charging for amenities such as checked bags and extra legroom.
Oil prices fell sharply Monday but nonetheless remain within range of last week's all-time highs.
Light, sweet crude for August delivery fell $3.92, or about 2.7 percent, to settle at $141.37 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, the contract sank as low as $139.50, or $5.79 below Thursday's settlement price.
Traders drove prices sharply higher at the end of last week as they bet that conflict with Iran or some other event could cut supplies, and they didn't want to get caught unprepared over the long Independence Day weekend, analysts said.

The South African national rugby team training session.
Cape Town - Junior Springbok coach Dawie Theron made 11 changes to his side to play Italy on Friday at the UWC Stadium in their second 2012 IRB Junior World Championship encounter. Kick-off is at 18:45.
Only centre Jan Serfontein, lock Paul Willemse, prop Steven Kitshoff as well as captain and flank, Wiaan Liebenberg, remained from the side that lost their opening match against Ireland.
Four players - Marais Schmidt (fullback), Travis Ismaiel (wing), William Small-Smith (centre) and Khaya Majola (flank) - will make their first appearance at the tournament.
Flyhalf Handrè Pollard and Braam Steyn (eighthman) were the unused substitutes against Ireland.
"This was always part of our planning, as we only have a three day turnaround between the two matches," said Theron.
"We are keen to redeem ourselves against Italy as we disappointed ourselves and our supporters against the Irish.
"I am convinced that the new players in the team will provide us with a lot of positive energy."
Liebenberg said the changes will not affect their play.
"We have been training together as a group for a while now and the new guys slotted in with ease," he said.
"We are lucky to have such a short turnaround in that we can now rectify the mistakes we made in our opening game.
"We are still in the hunt to win the tournament."

I don't know much about this lady, but it appears she rubbed the Statists the wrong way and so, she is being punished......... For what crimes? Who did she harm? And why are taxpayers being punished by the govenment which is taxing them to pay for her imprisonment?
Victimless crimes are not crimes. Also notice that powerful bankers that were guilty of the fraud that cost so many so much were not prosecuted The State represents the powerful and preys on the rest of the people for the benefit of the political class.
She's best known for her work with the Fugees,and has had a sucessful solo career. Her punishment sounds like something from the old Soviet Union..
Do people not realize that there are more of US than THEM? What is stopping US from stopping THEM?Cooperation!!!!!!!!!If people will just see that there are more of US,they could pull together and OVER THROW them!

Update: Districty Attorney's Office said it is considering appealing the judge's ruling but will wait to study the it before deciding. Prosecutors noted that in 1998 Edward Bracey, convicted of killing Officer Danny Boyle, presented three witnesses who testified he was not mentally retarded.
A Philadelphia judge, citing a constitutional restriction against executing people defined as mentally retarded, has vacated the death sentence of a man convicted of killing a city police officer in 1991.
Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina ruled Friday that the death penalty cannot be enforced against Edward Bracey, convicted in the shooting death of 21-year-old Officer Danny Boyle in 1991.

Two Christian women from a Pakistani village in the Sheikhupura district of Punjab province have reportedly been tortured by Muslim villagers, after which their faces were painted black and they were paraded around the town on donkeys.
The Pakistani Christian Post reported that the women, identified as Rukhsana and Rehana, were accused of committing blasphemy, which activists have said is a common way for the Muslim majority to oppress Christian and other minorities.
The two Christians apparently got into an argument with a Muslim woman who wanted to buy from their home a flex used as a carpet for a low price, to which the Christians refused. The Muslim woman then accused the Christians of committing blasphemy by pointing out that the carpet has images of Holy Books and Quran verses on it, which prompted a Muslim mob to beat the Christians and drag them out of their home. more >>
A 10-year-old boy in Pakistan was allegedly tortured with a stick by his Islamic school teacher after he refused to do construction work on a mosque in the Punjab province.
The Pakistani news site Dawn.com reported that the boy, named only as Tayyab, who is a student at Jamia Ishadal Quran seminary in the Noorpur village in the town of Pakpattan, was brutally beaten by an Islamic cleric until he passed out on Sunday.
Rozi Khan, Tayyab's father, told local media that he was alerted that his son was being physically assaulted when two of his son's classmates came to him and told him that Tayyab was being held by the cleric. more >>
As Christian mother of five Asia Bibi marks her sixth year in prison in Pakistan, placed on death row for blasphemy charges, a U.K. Christian group reports that some attempts are being made to reform sections of the country's controversial blasphemy laws that punish religious minorities. The group also believes that Britain and the U.S. must rethink the way they provide financial aid to Pakistan if they want to see reforms in the country.
"The proposed changes will ostensibly make it more difficult for blasphemy charges to be laid, focusing on proving that any blasphemy was intentional under a legal concept termed Mens Rea translated as 'guilty mind,'" Wilson Chowdhry, president of the British Pakistani Christian Association, told The Christian Post on Wednesday.
"However the large number of extra-judicial killings and insouciance from local police to get involved in blasphemy charges or a pattern of local police authorities cowing under pressure from mobs led by local imams, suggest this law change will have little effect." more >>
As Pakistani lawmakers consider legislation to reform the nation's corrupt blasphemy laws, Islamic clerics are bashing the government for even considering such an option, and are calling for the release of the murderer of the Punjab governor who advocated for blasphemy reform in 2011.
Asia News reports that 10 Muslim scholars and a former Pakistani judge gathered recently at a "seminar for protection of the prophet's dignity" and expressed their concern over the proposed legislation that is attempting to add the word "intention" to the nation's blasphemy law.
Speaking at the seminar was former Pakistani justice Mian Nazir Akhtar, who represents Mumtaz Qadri, the bodyguard who killed Punjab Governor Salman Taseer for referring to Pakistan's blasphemy law as a "black law." Akhtar bashed the proposed legislation and asserted that those who insult the Muslim prophet Muhammad deserve to be killed and "sent to hell." more >>
Pakistani Prison officials have confirmed that a Catholic death row inmate, who was tortured into confessing to three murders over 23 years ago when he was just 15 years old, was executed on Wednesday.
Aftab Bahadur, who was convicted of the 1992 killings of Sabiha Bari and her two sons, was hanged at the Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore, but not before he had one last chance to proclaim his innocence.
"Aftab Bahadur was hanged at District Jail Lahore on Wednesday at 4.30 a.m.," an unnamed prison official told Reuters. "Before the hanging, he was crying and saying he was innocent." more >>
A massacre of Christians in Lahore, Pakistan, was prevented back in May partly due to three Muslim leaders standing up against other Islamic imams inciting a mass attack on Christians for alleged blasphemy. A total of 22 Muslims have so far been arrested in the incident.
Fides News Agency reported on Tuesday that Christian lawyers in the region are speaking out about the incident, which occurred on May 24. Local Christian man Humayun Faisal was accused of burning pages of the Quran, which is considered blasphemous, and has led to mob attacks on Christians in a number of cases.
Police saved Faisal from the lynching by arresting him, but Islamic protesters then turned their anger toward the Christian community in the neighborhood where the man lived. more >>

Charleston County sheriffs deputies have arrested a 31-year-old man in connection with a robbery earlier this month at a West Ashley convenience store.
Douglas Samuel Luck of Heritage Park Road in Charleston is charged with strong arm robbery in connection with the Nov. 17 incident at Sky Mart BP station1924 Sam Rittenburg Blvd., Sheriffs Capt. Mike Stanley said.
The robbery occurred about 8:15 a.m. A man entered the business and walked to the counter as if to make a purchase. Once there. he walked behind the counter as the clerk opened the register, grabbed money and drove off on a moped, Stanley said.
Luck was a known customer of the store and later called the victim of the robbery several times to apologize, deputies said.
Deputies caught up with Luck on Monday, and he is now being held at the Charleston County jail. His bail is set at $50,000.

Jennifer LeighShared publicly -
As Hamilton Nolan at Gawker put it, "'Sure, it's an objectively large sum of money,' they say. 'But it is far smaller after I spend it.'"
5 comments
+Eric Hopper According to a blog on the WSJ "An annual salary above $506,000 puts you in the top 1%, while you need to make less than $2,500 a year to be in the bottom 1%"
+Loredena Frisealach - Well, Jennifer gave a different answer from a different source on my reshare. Though it's not that different. Her answer was ~ $343k from this source: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/top-1-percent-earn.aspx
I took it from http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/10/19/what-percent-are-you/ which was also posted Oct last year. Not sure their source. And yes, at that point it's not that different. Fun to play with the calculator though!
According to XKCD - http://xkcd.com/980/huge/#x=-1460&y=-7046&z=5 - it's 822k which comes from the Tax Policy Center, confirmed by a couple others. 515K is the middle of the 99th.
And to be in the bottom 1% you have to make less than 2.5k a year. Even I'm not down there.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
4SC's subsidiary 4SC Discovery has entered into a research and license agreement with BioNTech based in Mainz, Germany. Under the agreement, 4SC Discovery will receive from BioNTech an up-front payment of €2.5 million (approximately $3.3 million) for its new small molecule toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists as an anti-cancer immunotherapy. The program is currently in early development.
BioNTech will receive an exclusive license for worldwide marketing and commercialization rights of the TLR agonists. 4SC Discovery is eligible for shares of sublicensing proceeds of BioNTech, payments for specific sales milestones, as well as for royalties linked to product net sales.
"Our goal is now to speed up and jointly develop a novel breakthrough therapy toward the market addressing the high medical need in the exciting field of cancer immunotherapy," said Daniel Vitt, Ph.D., managing director of 4SC Discovery and CSO at 4SC.
According to 4SC, this is the company's first early-stage partnering deal with one of the programs from its research engine. "After having already secured a number of research service collaborations with biotech and pharma companies this year, this first licensing partnership of 4SC Discovery is another strong signal for the value generation potential of 4SC's research," said Ulrich Dauer, Ph.D., CEO of 4SC.
In October, 4SC Discovery won a €600,000 (approximately $791,000) grant to support a research collaboration with researchers at the Immune Pharmacology group at the Medical Clinic of the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, focused on preclinical development of TLR7 and TLR8 agonists for cancer immunotherapy.
Earlier this year, 4SC Discovery launched a collaboration with Crelux and Ribological for the discovery and optimization of new anti-cancer drugs. The company also entered a research collaboration with Henkel in the area of compound screening.

Be your own (fisher)man Everyone's angling style is as individual as they are — imitation is no way to succeed in the fishing game, according to KVD. "I don't fish like other people," he says. "Other people fish like me." In fact, says, Iaconelli, it's the fish he pays attention to when formulating his strategy, not other anglers. "Let the fish tell you how to pattern them. You have to be sort of a fish whisperer," he laughs. In other words: Don't look at the competition; keep your eyes on the goal. 4. Focus on the details "I want to see everything," KVD says, and you can see it in his gaze — the way he looks at a lake he's about to go out on, his eyes taking in every detail, every possible hiding spot the elusive, intelligent bass could be lurking in. And what better advice could you give, really, for anything you want to succeed in? Iaconelli elaborates on his own detail-oriented method: "I'm looking for change," he says, referring to the way he observes both the coastline and the ground at the bottom of the lake (which he sees via sonar). "A difference that will hold the fish." In other words: Look for the subtle details, the things other people might miss. 5. Always have a backup plan or two As in life, things don't always work according to plan when you're fishing. Most pro anglers show up a few days in advance to "practice" on the lake and look for the most likely hot spots, but on the day or days of the tournament, everything might change, due to a difference in the weather or other more subtle factors. Mike Iaconelli likes to make sure he doesn't go into any given situation with only one plan in case circumstances don't quite work out like he thought. That's why he says he always shows up with three options: his original plan, a backup plan and a backup plan for that backup plan. It's something worth considering in any life or business situation, where nothing is ever guaranteed to go your way.

10 Best Japanese restaurants in Honolulu servue up sushi, sake and everything else
By Jade Eckardt
Sometimes, the urge to have Japanese food strikes, and nothing satisfies until you get it. When that happens, count on 10Best to point you in the direction of Honolulu's best Japanese restaurants. We understand the desire to have a great meal, and we work hard to bring you the top places to eat in Honolulu. We vet restaurants carefully for quality, and when we recommend popular eateries like Kobe Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar or tell you that Nobu Waikiki gets good reader feedback, you can believe it. We'll make sure you get - and eat - what's best.
But Japanese food in Honolulu isn't just about sushi. With our guidance, it's not hard to find some of the best home style Japanese eateries serving up classic dishes such as curries, katsus and miso soups. Irifune Home Style Japanese on Kapahulu is one of the town's longest standing family style Japanese restaurants.
Yanagi Sushi is another home style joint serves a lot more than sushi.

Being that it's open till 2 a.m., you'll get the feel that it's serving those looking for that classic, like home restaurant that will keep you company all night long.
Nobu Waikiki
The Nobu mystique is alive and well at this Honolulu outpost, which counts Robert De Niro among its owners. Even without a celebrity connection, the restaurant would be a culinary destination, courtesy of chef Nobu Matsuhisa's spectacular food and the place's careful service. Sushi and saké get lots of attention, but so, too, do tobanyaki and tempura selections. Omakase dinners are popular as well, especially when you want to splurge. Quality does come at a price, so be forewarned, but it's hard to bypass Nobu when you crave excellent Japanese fare. The ambiance is a balance between dark and mysterious, and crisp and refreshing. (808-237-6999)
Restaurant Suntory
Although prices run a bit steep, no one can quibble over the quality of Suntory's food or its terrific preparation. Authentic cuisine draws on the best culinary traditions, and rooms devoted to sushi, shabu shabu, and the like are set aside for themed dining. For groups looking to share flavor and engage in a fun and flavorful night, shabu shabu is the way to go In addition to the impeccable raw cuisine and hot-stock-cooked dishes, patrons can also count on teppanyaki and tempura items. All of the fish is fresh and locally caught. The restaurant's interior is stunning and provides an apt backdrop for the spectacular food. (808-922-5511)
Banzai Sushi Bar
Sushi, sushi, and more sushi - all made from locally caught fresh fish and seafood can be found at the North Shore's Banzai Sushi Bar. And yes, there's definitely a full bar boasting a varies amount of beers, wine and specialty cocktails. Live music happens throughout the week and it's best to check beforehand what's going on that night. In addition to the delicious menu and casual Hawaiian ambiance, Banzai Sushi is also a hot spot for nightlife. From a mellow bar scene to wild dance parties boasting unique and fun themes, Banzai Sushi is an all around fun place. Cs ((808) 637-4404)
Yanagi Sushi
Yanagi's been around for decades and is a favorite destination of celebs, so it's frequently crowded, especially at dinner. That's hardly a surprise when you consider its impeccable food and convivial atmosphere. Sushi is outstanding, and the chefs take great pride in their skills. Table service is also available, and folks take advantage of cooked dishes, like shabu shabu, tempura, and teriyaki items. Great sakes and late-night hours add to the appeal, and lunch is a more affordable option that offers fewer crowds. Private dining room separated from the rest of the restaurant with shoji doors make this a unique place to dine. (808-597-1525)
Wasabi Bistro
In a textural, contemporary space, this well-received restaurant tempts diners with its updated Japanese cuisine. The original location of the expanding chain offers a number of innovations, most notably Kumi's Special, an appetizer composed of halibut, crab, and avocado. Other signature dishes include baked scallops topped with spicy aioli and the Hawaiian roll, a sushi offering that incorporates Spam and pineapple. Naturally, you'll find plenty of seafood, and it all gets a kick from Wasabi's forward-thinking chefs and owners. To add excitement to your dinner, choose a front row seat at the sushi bar and be amazed. You'll be intrigued by – and sold on – their creativity. (808-735-2800)
Kobe Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar
It's dinner and entertainment rolled into one at this Japanese hot spot. Vivacious chefs chop, slice, and sauté steak, chicken, shellfish, and vegetables right before your eyes in an exuberant display of teppanyaki cooking. It's just the place to visit if you're in the mood for an evening of sociability and fun. If you need a sushi fix along the way, don't despair – they'll set you up with an assortment of your favorite rolls. The superb bar begins serving drinks at 5pm, including sake and Japanese beer. The fished served on the menu is all fresh and locally caught. (808-941-4444)
Sushi Sasabune
Aficionados clamor to this upscale sushi joint, where everything from crab to sea urchin has a story and a provenance. While you sit at the bar, the chef gifts you with what he desires, so you may end up with scallops, squid, blue-fin, or even monkfish liver. As a result, your palate has to have a wide range and your trust has to be substantial. If both conditions fit, you'll revel in the exquisite offerings and the attention given to everything from the cut of a filet to the texture of the rice. Take a walk from the restaurant around the beautiful sights of Waikiki. (808-947-3800)
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Traditional Japanese entrees and some of the freshest sushi around are on offer at this resort mainstay. Let superb ocean views soothe you as you indulge in dishes like Asian shrimp cakes and Japanese calamari salad. Inventive sushi rolls include the Sansei Special, a combination of spicy crab, cilantro, fresh cucumber, avocado, and sweet Thai chili sauce. Open from 5:50 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Weekends, Sansei combines amazingly fresh fish with nightlife entertainment that is central to the rest of the Waikiki nightlife. Menu samplers are a great way to span the culinary offerings in a single evening and are available in a wide price range. (808-931-6286)
So ono (delicious), as the locals would say! At Irifune you'll find perhaps the best Japanese food a person can find in Honolulu, and it's decently priced, low key, a home style. The hole in the wall restaurant hides it great food behind a very modest exterior wall with a very homey feel inside. On any given night there's the chance of a short wait in the small waiting room with a fish tank, but it's very worth it and you can pass the time by enjoying a drink you brought or checking out all of the celebrity photos taken in the eatery. If anyone in your party is celebrating a birthday, you can give the management a heads up (without the birthday person knowing) and they'll surprise everyone with a lights-out birthday song and their signature ice cream crepe. The food is simply great. It's Japanese but not sushi. Notice the unique bathroom wallpaper of tattooed people. All of the food is good and there's several vegetarian options. ((808) 737-1141)
Morimoto Waikiki
Morimoto Waikiki is one of Honolulu's newest ventures into Japanese cuisine. Located waterfront inside of Honolulu's hottest hotel, the Modern Waikiki, world renowned Chef Morimoto seamlessly blends Western and Asian ingredients, creating his signature cuisines. The restaurants offers several menus, a to-go menu for gourmet meals on the run, a lunch menu, and a dinner menu. All offer selection of a cold seafood bar, sushi, sashimi, salads and steaks. The lunch menu also offers sandwiches adding ease to a pool side meal at the modern or a meal on the beach. Lunch at Morimoto is more on the casual side, but dinner is time to dress up a bit to match the elegant yet modern decor. (8089435900)
