IAG logs Q1 loss of 630 mn euros
International Airlines Group, parent of British Airways, announced on Friday a first-quarter net loss of 630 million euros ($822 million), after taking a big charge for restructuring costs at struggling Spanish division Iberia.
The loss after taxation in the three months to March compared with a shortfall of 129 million euros in the same part of last year, IAG said in a results statement.
Revenues grew 0.5 percent to 3.939 billion euros, while fuel costs dipped 3.4 percent to 1.361 billion euros.
The company also took an exceptional charge of 311 million euros, mostly relating to restructuring at Iberia.
"These results are encouraging with underlying revenue strength in strategic markets however while the first step towards restructuring Iberia has been taken, there is more work to be done," said chief executive Willie Walsh in the statement.

Michael O'Hare is a public policy researcher. He teaches at UC Berkeley and specializes in the arts and the environment. He does not sound like a very threatening guy. But, since the early 1980s, Michael O'Hare has been the subject of another man's obsessive quest to find the true identity of the Zodiac Killer.
Let's be clear. Michael O'Hare is not the Zodiac Killer. He's got a pretty good alibi—namely the fact that he was nowhere near California when the murders happened. In fact, his name only entered the field because an enthusiast named Gareth Penn analyzed some of the famous Zodiac cryptograms and somehow came up with the name "Michael O". How that led Penn to O'Hare isn't exactly clear, but however it happened, Penn has spent the last 30 years telling anyone who will listen that Michael O'Hare is the Zodiac Killer.
And that has made O'Hare's life rather ... interesting. This weekend, I ran across a 2009 essay, written by O'Hare, describing his experience as the unwitting subject of somebody else's conspiracy theory. This is old, but I wanted to share it because it's such a rare perspective on this kind of thing. In the age of the Internet, it's easy to read up on conspiracy theories covering just about any topic. For most of them, you can also find extensive debunking sources. It's much less common for somebody at the center of the story to talk about what that experience has been like. Totally fascinating.
Read the rest
The decades since Penn fixed his sights on me have not been a living hell, much as that would spice up this story.

There are laws that make so much sense you might wonder why they haven't been implemented. Laura's Law is one of them.
The law, signed by then-Gov. Gray Davis nearly 10 years ago, was named after Laura Wilcox and two others were murdered by a deranged man in Northern California. But the law left it up to counties to implement. Only one county -- Nevada County in Northern California -- has done so. That's irresponsible.
Orange County is considering implementing the law after Kelly Thomas, a mentally ill homeless man, was killed in a confrontation with two Fullerton police officers. Los Angeles County has a small pilot program that would conform with the law. By the end of 2010, only 10 people had participated in that program, with mixed success -- two were hospitalized and two left voluntarily. The others were either sent to lower levels of care or jailed.
The law, where it's in effect, requires treatment for mentally ill people who pose a threat to themselves or others. While a court order would be required to put "revolving door" mentally ill people into treatment, most of those who fit that category in Nevada County consented to take medications and get other treatment without the order. Referrals could be made only by people who live with a person who is mentally ill, and relatives, treatment providers, hospitals and police officers, and would include only those who are too ill to realize they need help. They would also include those who have been arrested previously.
Funding was possible after Proposition 63 was passed in 2004. That measure, the Mental Health Services Act, provided funding and personnel to implement Laura's Law. The funding came from a tax on millionaires.
Resistance to the law has come from those who fear individuals' rights would be denied. But how is protecting possible victims of those who are delusional and dangerous denying anyone's rights? Perhaps if Kelly Thomas had been ordered to get treatment, he might be alive today.
The problem is significant. Tens of thousands of inmates in California prisons and jails are mentally ill. Treating those individuals before they are arrested and jailed would save the state millions of dollars. In Nevada County, $1.81 was saved for every dollar invested, not including saving nearly $350,000 in hospitalization costs, according to figures posted on the website lauras-law.org.
The state of New York has Kendra's Law, which is the model for Laura's Law. That entire state has implemented the program. Forty-two others states have similar laws.
Laura's Law sunsets in 2013, and proponents want to get it extended. This is no time to play politics. Boards of supervisors in 57 counties should get on board before the law expires. Seriously ill people are not going to go away.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Hello, My name isXXXXX i will try to help you with your queries today.
Why this test was done ?
Do you have any other medical issues ?
are you taking some medicine ?
What was your hemoglobin ? and platelet counts ?
Regular Check Up.
Hemoglobine and platelet counts are normal
Did you had lower counts before or this is first time ?
first time
Did you had viral infection
flu ?
chest infection ? gut infection or any other problem in the recent past ?
Do you get sick easily ?
not at all
This is marginally low count and in the absence of normal hemoglobin, normal platelets and no signs of infection or history of infections
this needs a repeat test after 2 weeks
in most cases the cause is viral infection
which goes unnoticed.
i see
Are you sexually active ?
married ?
Yes i am married. only with my wife.
any urinary infections ?
No, because the urine analysis is normal
ok, that is good to know because this rules out most of the infections like hepatitis and HIV
so in your case it seems that most like cause was viral
which went un noticed
and other possible cause is wrong test reports
nothing to worry about?
which need to be repeated after 2 weeks.
No, nothing to worry because this low count can be congenital and can be normal for you
if it has not been checked before.
so nothing linked to leukemia or something like that?
no, because blood tests would show more abnormalities not just marginal low counts
thank you very much
You are welcome.
Have a nice day
same to u
and come back if you need more help.

No Doubt Pulls "Looking Hot" Video, Apologizes to Native Americans
Hoping to make amends for an unforeseen miscue, No Doubt pulled their just-released "Looking Hot" music video from major media outlets on Saturday (November 3).
Also offering an apology in the form of a letter posted on their website, the quartet of Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont's swift reaction comes after their teepee and headress laden production quickly came under fire as being offensive to Native Americans.
The two-time Grammy winners remorsefully wrote, "As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history. Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately."
"The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness," the California rockers continued.
Clearly having no intention of wrongdoing, Gwen and her bandmates' statement lastly read, "We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are."

clip from article: When they first came to office, the Obama team had a mantra: "Never waste a good crisis". They then spent the next two years doing exactly the opposite. In the past few months we've seen a couple of decent crises – the first involving WikiLeaks, the second involving the political upheavals in Tunisia and Egypt. Both involve the internet in one way or another. So, in the spirit of Obama Mk I, let us ponder what might be learned from them. [ read more at link]

A one-day workshop on creative problem solving along with a certification programme will be held on Friday June 13 in Bangalore. It will cover tools of idea generation and short-listing, creating a culture of innovation in teams, building an 'Idea Factory,' and sharpening personal creativity.
Innovation and creativity are increasingly understood as the imperatives of organizational growth and personal excellence. These skills can be honed in a systematic and disciplined fashion and a range of tools and techniques exist for creative problem solving. Successful organizations treat innovation as not just an art, but a science too, and hence creativity and innovation can well be 'taught'.
Participants of the following profiles are invited to attend: startup founders, team leaders and middle level managers, from all sizes of firms, preferably from technology industries. At the end of the workshop, participants will understand the difference between invention and creativity; techniques like Nine Windows, Mind Mapping, and Strategy Canvas.; tools like Buyer Utility Map and ERRC Grid; and practices such as Weighted Scoring Method. Case studies and roadmaps will also be covered.
Participants will understand how to institutionalize a systematic approach of identifying opportunities and solving business problems, evaluating idea pipelines, ways of keeping firms innovative, and brainstorming techniques. For more details refer to the event website; startups get 10% off the programme fee.
Date: Friday June 13 2014, at World Trade Centre Bangalore
Venue: WORLD TRADE CENTER BANGALORE, Brigade Gateway, Malleswaram West

Turkey: Buried Alive for Her Family's Honor
Medine Memi was 16 years when a family council convicted her to death in November 2009. They dug a two meter deep hole under the chicken coop at their house and forced Medine, her hands tied on her back, to sit in it. Then they buried her alive, throwing one spadeful of earth after the other down on her, till she was completely covered and the hole filled. Medine was not drugged, she died in full consciousness. She tried to scream and struggled for air. Soil filled her mouth, entered her windpipe, her gullet, her lungs and her stomach. She died a slow and gruesome death.
There is nothing left in memory of Medine's short life, not even a photograph of hers existence. It is as if she never lived. One of ten children, she was born in Kahata in the province Adiyaman in south east Turkey and never left this place. She was not allowed to go to school. Her father and grandfather used to brutally beat her up when they suspected her to talk to village boys of her age. During her last weeks, Medine feared for her life. She sought help in the police station. She tried to lodge a complaint against father and grandfather. She begged for protection and asylum. But she was forced to go back to her tormentors. This repeated three times; after that she was not seen again. In December, a neighbor got suspicious. The authorities opened the newly cemented place under the chicken coop and found Medine's body. They arrested her father and grandfather, but did not charge them so far.
The gruesome murder of Medine is no single case. 'Honor killings' have reached record levels in Turkey. Official government figures confirm more than 200 cases every year, half of all murders committed in the country. The estimates of human rights groups are far higher. Investigations are generally difficult; many of these murders remain family secrets. In the Kurdish dominated south east of Turkey, the region of Medine's home province Adiyaman, the concentration of 'honor killings' is the highest. Decades back, Adiyaman has been a stronghold of the Islamic fundamentalist Naksibendi sect that was banned in 1925 by the founder of modern Turkey, Ataturk, but seems to gain new ground in recent years.
In 2005, with the reform of the Turkish Penal Code, life sentences for 'honor killers' have become mandatory. Earlier they often escaped with reduced sentences, if any, claiming they have been "provoked". Even now, many 'honor killers' benefit from improper investigations and leniency of the authorities, as many police officers, prosecutors and even judges share their views. Even in prison, they still use to enjoy high respect and privileges. As a strategy, many family councils order the youngest male member to commit the murder, taking advantage of juvenile law. The government's recent efforts to take harder legal action have resulted in a new twist: while the number of 'honor killings' seems to go down, a wave of 'honor suicides' can be observed. To escape legal prosecution, families force their victims to kill themselves.
'Honor killings' are committed in many countries around the world. According to UN estimates, there are more than 5000 cases every year. But that may be only the tip of the iceberg. While the majority of them seems to have a fundamentalist Islamic background, similar barbaric traditions are active among Hindus, Sikhs and Christians (for example in Sicily).

Do any of you teens know of any colleges that are willing to work with students who have tonic-clonic sz? My 19 yo daughter would like to attend college away from home, but she's had nighttime tonic-clonics for three years. The sz are hard. She would need considerable support because she stops breathing, vomits while unconscious and sometimes tries to walk while still fairly incoherent. IDEAS, PLEEZE! Thank you!
Re: Colleges that work with sz???
Hello- I am a college graduate BA student who has complext partial seizures, I also have blindness and hearing impairment/deaf-blindness. Most of the times colleges have a disablity services counselor or ADA counselor who sets up services for students with disabilities. Now since her seizures are at night time, the dorm staff would have to know what kind of disbaility or seizures she has and what to do- the only other thing i've heard of is that people who live in the dorms (like i have) usually have to had good seizure control and if EMS is required then its something they know to do if seizures are becoming unmanagable. If seizures happen while in school or cause great distractions than usual the student is asked to come back when seizures are better controlled. The staff at school, teachers and residential staff only know to call 911 and cannot assist a person in a seizure due to rules. When i had two seizures close together, my friend was on the phone with me and called EMS for me and my residential staff, police and EMS came to get me to go to the hospitol, but i believe that if it were happening a lot they would not be able to take on the stress or would not be able to provide help over a long periode of time.
If you attend school a disability services counselor would be able to tell you more about how they can help or what services they provide. Usually the services are more for blindness, deafness, mobility impairments, speech impairments or learning disabilitiy. Nothing that involves personal assistant or nurses. Seizures cannot cause a distraction in classes or on the dorm- they won't of course let anything bad happen to you but they would like for student's medical conditions to be on some form of control or self managable. I have a twin sister who has seizures as well as both would help eachother out- we also lived on the first floor and our friends were able to get to us if we needed help. The health department or nurses on staff knew about our seizures and would offer help if needed.
I would definatly talk to a college's disability services counselor and housing staff or manager and see what the option are for uncontrolled night time seizures.
email@example.com if you have any questions- feel free.
Take care.
Re: Colleges that work with sz???
federal law mandates that persons with disabilities must be accomadated. the problem is, if the things they provide are sufficent for your needs. talk to the schools you are interested in and ask lots of questions. if it is possible and you want go to school. the other thing that might be of interest, is that employers are under the same type of regulations. the doc has the last call on that one. hope it helps. rikk
Re: Colleges that work with sz???
Crystal again. I am a vocational rehabilitation major at college and did live there for three years in a dorm. The ADA laws do help some but mainly for employment. Now if you were a blind person like me and said "I want to attend you school sucessfully" and they said "no bec we cannot accomodate you" then ADA would set it and they would have a lot of problems. But of course most colleges would already have accomodations available for those with blindness such as large print for low vision persons, CCTVs, books on tape, brailled tests and materials, note-takers, interpreters if you are deaf-blind or deaf etc. Now if you have seizures they can only do so much since they are not medical personell and there are rules to the school and student code of conduct and the reason i know this is because my disability counselor told me that if i don't take my meds and I have a lot of seizures that distract class or cause panic or I hurt myself or others then school may not be an options at that point till its under better control. My seizures are no fully controlled but the dean of my school is a lawyer and it becomes pretty strict when it comes to what a teacher, staff, dorm staff, or others can do for you in a seizure or to help you for reacurring seizures. But yes, please do talk with a disability counselor in disability services about your seizures and your plans for college and that your interested in living in the dorms. because you would like in the dorms it would cause a bit of trouble due to the fact that they are maily other students that have applied for the job of dorm staff or residential instructor so they would only know to call EMS/911 or call someone you have asked them to call during an emergency. When I had a bad seizure they called EMS and they took me to the hospitol and they would not just leave me but they are not responsible for my care and can lead to some legal issues. SO- talk talk talk and explain your situation and the dean/staff/disability counselors can help you decide weather college is appropriate at this point with uncontrolled seizures.
Take care, be safe.

Owner of Buffalo Bore Tim Sundles on Heavy 44 Magnum Ammunition:
Item 4A (305gr. Hard Cast gas Checked LFN) is designed for super deep penetration on large game. The big flat nose keeps the bullet penetrating straight and thus deep. You can expect a good three + feet of penetration. The flat nose also does considerably more damage than a round nosed type of bullet as the flat nose cuts and smashes it way through living matter, while round nosed bullets tend to slip and slide through matter, doing much less damage along the bullet's path and achieving more shallow penetration due to getting sideways while slipping and sliding through matter.
You'll note my below velocities from over-the-counter revolvers and rifles.
Item 4A is recommended for all STEEL revolvers and rifles on today's market. It is not suitable for scandium or aluminum alloy revolvers.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Miami is one of the world's capitals for midcentury furniture, but out of all of our high-quality outlets, the largest and most diverse is Miami Art and Design Expo. Run by brothers Robert and Carl Massello, M.A.D.E. features booths sponsored by a variety of local dealers, all of whom have favorite styles, designers, and periods, so you'll find bureaus rescued from the old Eden Roc Hotel next to Sixties Brown Jordan outdoor furniture next to Eames Eiffel-base plastic chairs. Come prepared to haggle (prices are quoted on-site) and to spend more than you would at a thrift store. The dealers select the best pieces from estate sales, conventions, etc., so they know the value of everything, and you should too. It's also advisable to come often. The Massellos are nice guys who reward repeat customers, and some of the best stuff hits the showroom floor in the morning and is gone that afternoon. But be careful of developing a designer furniture obsession, or M.A.D.E. might become your second home.
Kendall Adult Video opened in 1991. During the past 17 years, this shop has withstood hurricanes, protesters, and digital porn. "People don't spend money here like they used to," says the store's co-owner, Robert. "By the time you put gas in your car and pay taxes, there isn't much money left." The Farm Stores market and Tony Roma's restaurant next door have both gone out of business. So come on, Miami, we need to show our support! Why? First, Kendall Adult Video has the largest selection of VHS tapes we have ever seen. From classics including Caligula and Deep Throat to celeb vids such as A Night in Paris and the Tommy Lee/Pamela Anderson romp. There's a section for each genre of porn: MILFs, she-males, 18-year-olds, homoerotic, black booty, anal-rama, monsters of cock, etc. And the place carries the entire Bangbus, Reality King, and 8th Street Latinas collections on DVD, which were all made in the Magic City. There are no "whack shacks," so sleazy dudes rarely lurk around here. There is also an overabundance of sex toys: fake human heads to stick your dick into ($70), a faux rubbery ass with artificial hair around the plastic hole ($99.99), dildos, butt plugs, blow-up dolls, and an assortment of lubes. For less than $60, you can buy a whole stack of porno mags from the sale rack. Don't forget to purchase a couple of those special ribbed glow-in-the-dark condoms. You might need them later.
With six months to go before Art Basel, you have just enough time to churn out a few primitive masterpieces and cash in on the insanity. What? You don't know how to paint? That never stopped an artiste from turning a buck before. Just wander down to the well-stocked I.D. Art, where actual (and helpful) artists will give you advice about how to gesso your canvas or wield a sgraffito tool. While you're there, ask about their workshops, so you can learn to act even more professional. The Beach outlet is small but has most of what you'd need in a rainy-day pinch. The store is housed inside ArtCenter/South Florida, so hang around for a little artistic inspiration (or wander next door to Romero Britto's space and smell the currency). By the way, if you need that special brush to finish off a painting but you're dripping in turpentine, have no fear — they deliver!
The closing credits are rolling on Jet Li's latest film, War, and you get the sudden urge to take your life from Occidental to Oriental. You realize you'll need 17 hours and a lot of yuan to get to China by air, but only a couple of minutes on I-95 and gas money to get what you desire. So you roll to Miami China City, and when the elephant statues perched in the window see you coming, they kinda smile. A walk through the double doors reveals a world of Chinese goods that will fulfill all of your needs; there's a feng shui luo pan compass to determine the path to good fortune, a calligraphy set for writing letters to newfound Hong Kong pen pals, a Japanese samurai sword for killing Bill, and a dose of horny goat tea for — well, you know. You wander the store picking up cans of litchi juice, Chinese exercise DVDs, and a cast-iron tea set, all with an authentic gong hooked onto the crook of your arm, a kimono thrown over your shoulder, and a Hello Kitty suitcase in your hand. The store is the size of a Walgreens and filled with more than 10,000 products ranging in price from 25 cents to 4,000 bucks. By the time you've walked it from end to end, you might not know what everything says or means, but you'll feel like you do.
You don't know shear stability from shock fade. You're a lug with a lug wrench, and c-clamps make you see red. In short, you just wanna turn the key and drive, dammit. That big, hot, noisy, greasy black monster under the hood that makes the wheels go 'round? It might as well be magical for all you know. And that's where G.T.O. comes in. If it's an easy fix, they'll say so. If your car simply needs new brake pads, they won't milk you for new rotors. They specialize in — as the name suggests — classic cars, but they can work on anything, including the Biscayne Park Police Department cruisers from up the street, which frequently mingle with the Mustangs, Chargers, and Volkswagens in the always bustling parking lot. G.T.O.'s hourly labor charge, $68, is about average, but it's a small price to pay to go on believing in the car fairies under the hood.
For nearly four decades, Obilio Gutierrez has held court at his quaint, three-chair establishment. It hasn't changed a lick since he first hung a shingle outside his door. The décor still boasts the same old pictures of Chevys, Fords, and yellowing classic roadsters. Holding forth on hot-button issues while nimbly snipping away, the Little Havana stalwart has groomed several generations of clients. The wait for a trim is never long, and a haircut costs a mere $8.

Early Hummingbird Fossil Found in Germany
Date: 07-May-04
Country: GERMANY
Nowadays the iridescent nectar-sipping creatures are found in the New World, in North and South America, but they apparently lived much further afield when they evolved, said Gerald Mayr, a zoologist from Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, a natural history museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
"These are the oldest fossils of modern-type hummingbirds, which had not previously been reported from the Old World," Mayr wrote in his report, published in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
"The findings demonstrate that early hummingbird evolution was not restricted to the New World."
Until this find the oldest, modern hummingbird fossils were from South America and only about 1 million years old.
Mayr named the new fossil species Eurotrochilus inexpectatus, a name that expresses the unexpected nature of his find.
"The amazing thing about this fossil is that it's essentially a modern hummingbird," Margaret Rubega of the University of Connecticut told Science. "My mind is a little blown."
The pair of inch-and-a-half-long skeletons have shoulders that would have allowed the wings to rotate, a key feature that gives hummingbirds their ability to hover and even fly backward.
The existence of hummingbirds so long ago may help explain why certain flowers were able to evolve in Europe and Asia that have no landing pad for pollinators such as short-tongued bees, Mayr said.

The Department of Philosophy of the University of Melbourne is an old one, with a wealth of history and achievements.
Philosophy was taught at the University from its foundation in 1853, and the Boyce Gibson Chair of Philosophy, founded in 1886, is, in fact, the oldest chair of philosophy in Australia (though it was given its current name only in 1966, after the retirement of Sandy Boyce Gibson, who succeeded his father, W. R. Boyce Gibson, in the Chair).
The Department started off modestly, with the appointment of Henry Laurie, who was as much professional journalist as professional philosopher. But over its life, it has grown in strength and reputation. One small statistic is an index of this. When the University was founded, it had a total 16 students. Now many hundreds of students take philosophy subjects each year.
Many members of the Department have also, of course, had notable international reputations. Apart from some of those already mentioned, these include Len Goddard, who held the Chair of Logic and Metaphysics at the University of St Andrews before succeeding Gasking in the Boyce Gibson Chair, and David Armstrong, who moved from the Department to take up the Challis Chair of Philosophy at the University of Sydney. Many outstanding international philosophers, such as (the now sadly late) David Lewis, and Jay Garfield, have also been frequent visitors, and strongly involved in the intellectual life of the Department.
The Department is now a major player on the world scene in philosophy. Two of its current research strengths are in Ethics (a major interest of Tony Coady, who succeeded Goddard in the Chair) and Philosophical Logic (a major interest of Graham Priest, the Chair's present incumbent). In both of these areas, the Department was recently recognized by the Leiter Report – a report based on peer review of English-language Philosophy Departments, published by Blackwell – as one of the top handful in the world. In addition, the department is in the process of rebuilding its traditional philosophical breadth, both in the curriculum and in hiring new staff.

If you're in the market for something fun that's guaranteed to hold its appeal for a very long time, it's hard to go wrong with a lust worthy Vette. America's favorite sports car is finally commanding the respect it deserves. And with awesome classics like this clean '64 roadster mixing red carpet looks with every day drivability, it's not hard to see why. A perfect blend of classic style and modern technology, this handsome C2 is a first rate exercise in old school charm and vintage swagger. And if you're looking for that rare trifecta of 'low maintenance', 'fun to own' and 'great investment potential', it's an awesome way to hit the scene!
Sealed in PPG Concept Rally Red, and topped with fresh black vinyl, this slick Vette is the beneficiary of a comprehensive, ground-up restoration that was conducted by Tony's Muscle Cars of Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania. In addition to near-perfect alignment, the car's body features super sinuous aesthetics that are set off by a black Stinger Stripe. Those striking aesthetics have been professionally massaged into a collection of surfaces that are much nicer than anything that rolled out of the factory. And the result is one seductive, fully sorted classic that looks good on the road and great at the show!
When you think of Corvettes, "classy" usually isn't the first thing that comes to mind. It's not that America's sports car lacks class. It simply floods the conscious with far more appealing descriptors like fast, free and lust-worthy. After all, this C2 was built to lap tracks, not float through a stuffy regimen of teatimes. At the front of the car, bullet-style marker lights, a brilliant bumper and a prominent red, white and black cross-flag emblem cage a body-width, stainless-trimmed grille. At the sides of that grille, '67 Corvette heat extractors ride between traditional door handles, and polished and shielded side pipes. Opposite those pipes, a '67-exclusive Stinger Hood leads the eye to tinted glass that's framed in chrome windshield wipers, fresh stainless trim and a classy bowtie mirror. And behind that mirror, standard, monochromatic taillights illuminate a chrome-trimmed fuel filler, a clean "Corvette Sting Ray" emblem, a chrome-trimmed tag bracket and small, equally brilliant bumpers.
Gaze upon this Chevy's smoothed engine bay and you'll find 6.2 liters of small block fury! Officially known as the Chevrolet Performance LS376, that sweet crate engine twists respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 525 horsepower and 475 lb./ft. of everyday torque. And despite consistently delivering track-blistering, low-end performance, it revs to 6,600 RPM and regularly achieves over 20 MPG! Up top, a polished air tube and reusable filter element funnel wind in to a factory throttle body and Rally Red, composite intake. That air marries fuel in rectangular-port L92-style heads, which hide high-rate springs under sixth generation Corvette rail covers. That volatile union gets compressed by a nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons. Power is made by a racing-inspired ASA cam that, thanks to better breathing, maximizes intake efficiency. There's a big aluminum radiator that hangs a Mr. Gasket ThermoCap cap above a large-diameter puller fan. A polished serpentine system spins a polished alternator opposite a coated AC compressor. And items like a painted radiator cover, a billet clutch reservoir and a chrome brake booster convey a sense of top-notch detailing.
With that kind of power on tap, it should come as no surprise that the bottom of this Corvette features a host of noteworthy upgrades. Behind the raucous small block, an American Powertrain-supplied Tremec TKO500 5-speed makes good use of a tough hydraulic clutch. That stout drivetrain rides on a fourth generation Corvette suspension, which is finished with adjustable coil-over-shocks. Turns come courtesy of Detroit Speed power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are provided by red, power-assisted calipers, which clench a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. And torque meets the pavement via polished C6 Gran Sport wheels, which spin 245/40ZR18 General G-Max radials in front of 275/40ZR18 General G-Max radials. Aesthetically, this Chevy's Rally Red floors are virtually spotless, with a powder-coated Chassis Concepts frame and Cast Silver drivetrain components their only disturbance. And everything, from the car's beefy radiator to its stainless fuel tank, is expertly finished, superbly detailed and ready for action.
Pop the lightweight doors and you'll find a tweaked leather interior that mixes the best aspects of modern convenience with the best attributes of vintage style. Front and center, Al Knoch fifth generation Corvette buckets wrap full power-adjustment in red ribbing and black bolsters. In front of those seats, a dual-cowl dash hangs a modern clock, Vintage Air climate control and a direct-fit Custom Autosound stereo beside Dakota Digital gauges. At the edges of that dash, sculpted side panels, stitched by Locustdale, Pennsylvania's CJ's Custom Auto Upholstery, feature polished accessory handles. At the bottom of those panels, premium carpet anchors a factory console between a leather-booted shifter and sleek leather armrest. In front of the driver, a polished steering wheel spins a thick rim around a tilting Flaming River column. And behind the passengers, a small storage area features enough room for a weekend getaway.
- A binder of photos and restoration receipts
- Miscellaneous component paperwork
If you're looking for a unique classic that mixes a great restoration with unmatched style and instant fun, this Chevy deserves your full attention. It's spectacular from every angle. It plays to a level of nostalgia that everyone can appreciate. And, whether you're setting up at a show or just spending Saturday afternoon on the town, it's guaranteed to be the center of attention!

General BMW Questions
Use this forum to ask general question about the BMW ownership and keep up on the latest BMW news. Direct all model specific questions to model specific forums below.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
745i Z4-3.0 525i-Manual X3-3.0 X5-4.4 Test drive, 4 hours
I test drove the above cars in Fremont BMW (former Claridge BMW) in Frement Auto Mall. It was one of those Breast Cancel donation event.
Let me get to the point. The predetermined test drive route is about 20 miles, include mostly freeway and some local road in industrial area. But since they let us have the car all by ourselves, and all we need to do is to return the car within the time slot (which is about 45 minutes) we decided to take a slightly differently route. The main difference is we took less freeway, instead we took road in the industrial area, which is very empty during working hour so that we can do some fast accelaeration, cornering and braking.
here is my conclusion on each of the above cars
1. 745i. This is the first car I drove which spoiled me for the rest of the day. It made me feel dissatisfied about the rest of the car. This car feel heavy and big (which is true), however the steering wheel is on the light side, feel a little numb, but make manuver very easy. Power is very good. It feel a little slow off line, but once get moving, the power is scary. This car feels very comfortable in all condition. Seats are soft, suspension absorb bumps very well, it is virtually silent even engine is running at red line. The handling of this big ar is surprisingly good. I would say it is on par with my 330i SP. Body roll is non existance even taking freeway ramp at very high speed. During cornering, the soft seats are very supportive, suspension also response very well. Interior material quality on this car is also very nice. it is what a expansive car should be.
2. Z4 3.0 SP. This car is a toy. First impression is its exhaust is loud, in a good way. I recalled that BMW purposely route the sound of the engine and exhaust to the drive. I can understand why it means now. Power is also very good. Very quick off line, and pull stronge on freeway speed. Steering wheel has the classic BMW feel, which is tight, quick and responsive. The car oversteer a little, it handles extreme good. The only thing I don't like about Z4 is its interio material quality. Not only that it doesn't compare to 745i, it is not as good as 3 series, but quite a bit better than 5 series and X3.
3. 525i SP PP Active Steering 6 speed. First impression is the shifter and throw are long, longer than stock 330 manual. Clutch is lighter than 3 series, take up point is vague but a lot more linear. I think it feels vague because the take up action is over a wider range of clutch travel. I would say 5 sereies manual is easier to operate than 3 series manual. This car is also very quite. It feels more isolated compare to 3 series. This car is under power, 2.5L is too small for this car, it feel weak at all gears and rpm. Luckily it is a manual, I cannot imagine what happen with steptronics. Handlign wise, it is also quite good, on par with my 330i SP. Comfort wise, it is not bad either, better than 3 series. Interiro material is also at fault, worse than 3 series, not even on par with Z4. One good thing I notice is fuel comsumption here is very good, on my 20 miles hard driving, I still get 23MPG. The over all average in this car is 22.8MPG, I assume it is over the 17K of test drive miles average that the car has
4. X3 3.0 SP PP. First impression is how bad the interior quality it is. Door panel and dash are all hard plastic. The brush aluminum trim also seem on the low quality side, they are not as good quality as those brush AL in 3 series. For me, this is totally not acceptable for a $40K car. Now the drive, X3 is actually very comfortable, better than 330i SP. Suspension aborb bumps better. Handling wise, it is not bad at all for a SUV, probably on the same level as 3 series without SP. Power wise, it is compatibale with my 330i except off line. the average MPG of this vehical is 18.8MPG which is fair.
5. X5 4.4 SP PP 19IN comfort seat NAV. First impression is how much better the interio it is compare to the last 3 cars. The whole interior feels like a e39 5 series. X5 is higher than X3, also wider. I don't know why BWM claim X3 has compatible space with X5, coz I can feel that X5 is a lot wider a lot more space, front and back. X5 seems very heavy, the 4.4 give a strong pull in highway speed, but off line, it is a bit slow. Aslo I notice that the responsiveness of either the engine or the transmision is quite slow. I step on the gas, then about 0.5 second later, the car start to surge forward. Handling wise, it is good for a SUV of this size, but not as good as X3. Another fault of the X5 is its NAV, the way the NAV is mounted, so far away from the drive, and since it is mounted at a 45 degree angle, the screen it easily wash out by the sun. I was having trouble seeing the screen during the whole time. Average MPG here is 15.5MPG.
This is what I can think of now. Sorry of the rough English and thought. I hope I can be a little more organized, but I am afraid that I will forget something, so I just write down whatever that is in my memory now.
Here is the summery:
Power overall feeling: 745i >= Z4 > X5-4.4 > 330i > X3-3.0 > 525i
Steering feeling: Z4 > 330i > X3 > X5 > 745i > 525i
Handling: Z4 > 745 > 330 > 525 > X3 > X5
Brake feel: 745 >>> Z4 ~= 330 ~= 525 ~= X3 > X5
Comfort: 745 > X5 > 525 > X3 > 330 > Z4
MPG: 525 > 330 > > Z4 > X3 > 745 > X5 Base on OBC
Interior Quality: 745i > X5 > 330 >> Z4 > 525 > X3
Auto Transmisson responsiveness: Z4 > X3 > 745 >> X5
Manual Transmission Clutch: 525 > 330
Maunal Transmision Shifter: 330 > 525
Feel free to give your comments
Nice write-up
I drove the same cars you did, except for the 5er, at an Ultimate Drive event a couple of weeks ago and had a very similar reaction to the cars as you. But I think I liked the Z4 a lot more than you did. I also agree that the X3's interior materials could be a little better. By the way, the X5 IS more spacious for the driver and passengers, but the X3 actually does have a bit more interior space--it's just allocated differently.
I like Z4 3.0 a lot too. The car is very tossable. At high speed, ~ 90MPH, the car is very stable, made me want to go faster. The slight oversteer character really makes the car fun to drive. The sound of the car is quite loud, but definite in a nice way. I was a bit not used to hear most of the sound coming from the back of the car.
The only other car I like better is 745i. I was so surprised that such a large car can handle so good while still very comfortable.
I only got to drive 5 cars, because I have to go back to work. I should have take that half day off to drive the rest of the models. Something I really want but didnt get a chance to drive is the 5 series SMG and 645i. Well, I guess next year
My wife drove the 5er SMG (530i) and liked it quite a bit. She said that she was surprised that it didn't feel underpowered. The 645Ci is a very nice car and it has awesome braking power, but if I was in the market for a convertible, I'd get the Z4 and save a ton of money.
I have a hard time believing that the 745 outhandles the 330

66ers Win Playoff Opener, Game 2 Thursday at San Manuel Stadium
By Sam Farber / Inland Empire 66ers | September 4, 2013 10:01 PM ET
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - After a one year playoff hiatus, the Inland Empire 66ers came out firing in their first game of postseason play since 2011, registering a 6-3 victory Tuesday over the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. With a one game lead in hand, the 66ers can secure a series sweep with a win Thursday at San Manuel Stadium.
The 66ers offense which struggled through August, sparked early in the playoff opener. With two outs in the 1st Alex Yarbrough delivered a double and would come in to score on a Zach Borenstein single. Brian Hernandez extended the two out rally with an RBI double of his own and the 66ers were up 2-0.
The Quakes battled back to tie in their half of the 1st inning, and would take the lead on a Scott Schebler RBI single in the second. But after three runs on six hits in two innings, the Schebler single would be the Quakes last against 66ers starter Drew Rucinski. Rucinski, who as little as six weeks ago was pitching in independent ball, would go seven innings Tuesday for his fifth quality start in six outings since signing with the Angels.
Inland Empire took the lead back in the top of the 3rd which started with five consecutive 66ers reaching base safely. Yarbrough singled and advanced to third on a Borenstein double setting the table for Brian Hernandez. Inland Empire's ironman (Hernandez played in all 140 games during the regular season) hit a routine grounder to shortstop which would have scored Yarbrough anyways, but the ball was bobbled and Hernandez reached as well. Abel Baker came up and cleared the bases with a two run double to make it 5-3 Inland Empire, and Baker came home on an RBI fielder choice hit into by 66ers newcomer Angel Rosa making it 6-3 66ers.
From that point on both pitching staffs settled in and clamped down on the outpouring of offense. Quakes pitchers retired the last 18 batters of the game in order, and between Rucinski and relievers Eduard Santos and Carmine Giardina, the Quakes got one batter into scoring position from the 4th through the 8th. But the Quakes were able to get the winning run to the plate in the 9th inning off of Inland Empire closer R.J. Alvarez. With one out the Quakes secured a double, a walk and a single to load the bases down 6-3. Quakes home run leader Scott Schebler stepped up to the plate, and that's when R.J. Alvarez stepped up his game. He struck out Schebler with a slider, and ended the game with a strikeout of Darnell Sweeney to preserve the 6-3 victory.
Inland Empire can sweep the Quakes with a win on Thursday at San Manuel Stadium. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 and the game can be heard on the 66ers flagship radio station, AM 1050 KCAA. Alex Keudell is scheduled to start for the 66ers in the team's first home playoff game since 2011. For information on tickets to the 66ers playoff game at San Manuel Stadium on Thursday, September 5th, contact the 66ers front office at (909)888-9922.

Each school had its own canonical collection that differed somewhat from others in the contents of particular texts, which texts it included, and the ordering of texts within the canon. There was more agreement on the first two sections, the Vinaya PiṭakaPitaka (Sanskrit and Pāli: "Basket of Discipline") and the Sutta PiṭakaPitaka (Pāli: "Basket of Discourse"; Sanskrit: Sūtra Piṭaka Sutra Pitaka) than on the third, the Abhidhamma PiṭakaPitaka (Pāli: "Basket of Special [or Further] Doctrine"; Sanskrit: Abhidharma PiṭakaPitaka).
The first of the three, which is also the earliest and smallest, provides for the regulation of monastic life. The second and largest contains the Hīnayāna-sutta (Sanskrit: sūtra) literature—i.e., sermons and doctrinal and ethical discourses attributed to the Buddha or, in a few cases, to his disciples. ( The basic texts produced by Mahāyāna Mahayana schools are also called sūtra sutras and are often considered to have been revealed by the Buddha after he had passed into Nirvāṇanirvana. ) The Abhidhamma (or Abhidharma) PiṭakaPitaka, which was apparently accepted only by the Sarvāstivādins Sarvastivadins and the Theravādins—and Theravadins—and in two quite different forms—is basically a schematization of doctrinal material from the sutta sutras. All three sections of the canon contain, as well, an abundance of legends and other narratives.

Water Resources--Office of Water Quality
This document is also available in pdf format:
Use of the procedures described in this section will help to avoid mistakes and preserve sample integrity. Protocols that are applicable to most sampling efforts for surface water are described in detail in Horowitz and others (1994). Koterba and others (1995) describe the protocols for ground-water sampling that were designed for the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program; these protocols are generally applicable to the routine collection of ground-water samples. Field personnel are responsible for being familiar with any specific sampling protocols that might be required for their studies and programs, especially those that differ from the routine procedures covered by this field manual. For example, field procedures, bottle type, and sample preservation requirements differ for samples collected as part of the USEPA Drinking Water Program (National Water Quality Laboratory Technical Memorandum 97.054).
|To minimize delays in sample processing, calibrate field instruments (NFM 6), and set up processing equipment and supplies in the work area before collecting the sample.
|Clean-sampling procedures are recommended as a general practice when processing raw samples, particularly those for analysis of trace levels of inorganic and organic analytes.
|Clean-sampling procedures such as Clean Hands/Dirty Hands techniques (NFM 4) are required when collecting samples to be filtered for analysis of trace elements (Office of Water Quality Technical Memorandum 94.09; Horowitz and others, 1994; Koterba and others, 1995).
|When using Clean Hands/Dirty Hands techniques:
|Designate the Clean Hands (CH) person and the Dirty Hands (DH) person before field work begins (table 4-2 in NFM 4) .
|CH duties: Has the only contact with the sample bottle; transfers sample from sampler to splitter; filters, extracts, and preserves sample.
|DH duties: Operates sampling equipment and manages any contact with potential sources of contamination (for example, the churn carrier and pumps).
|CH and DH: Both must wear appropriate disposable, powderless gloves (vinyl, latex, or nitrile for inorganic work; latex or nitrile for organic work).
|Check sample-designation codes and processing requirements for each sample. Requirements depend on program and laboratory protocols, study objectives, and data-quality requirements. Laboratory codes and processing requirements are summarized in Appendixes A5-A, B, and C.
|Organic analytes. Identify the bottle requirement by checking the sample designation code (see in-text table below and Appendix A5-A). Use only containers that arrive clean, baked, and capped. Discard any bottles that arrive uncapped.
|Inorganic and radiochemical analytes. Identify the bottle requirement by checking the sample designation code (see in-text table below and Appendixes A5-B and A5-C). For example, samples to be acidified must be collected in bottles that arrive from the laboratory acid rinsed and capped; discard any acid-rinsed bottles that arrive uncapped. Prerinse all bottles used for nutrients, major-ion, and trace-element samples with deionized water (DIW) before sampling. Field rinse bottles with the water to be sampled, if a field rinse is specified (section 5.0.3 and Appendixes A5-B and A5-C).
|Clean equipment and supplies as directed in NFM 3.
|Organic analytes. All containers arrive precleaned and baked from the laboratory. Do not prerinse or field rinse these glass bottles or vials. Samples to be analyzed for organic compounds are hereafter referred to as organic-compound samples.
|Inorganic analytes. Prerinse bottles with DIW and store half filled with DIW. This procedure is required for all FA samples with target analytes at parts-per-billion (ppb) concentrations, and is recommended for all samples to be analyzed for inorganic constituents (hereafter referred to as inorganic-constituent samples) that also require field-rinsed bottles.
|Set up a clean work area at the field site for sample processing. (An appropriate area includes, for example, a mobile laboratory, a water-quality field vehicle (NFM 2), or clean space in a building near the sampling site.)
|Protect the area from airborne sources of contamination such as dust, vehicle emissions, and vapors from inorganic chemicals and organic solvents.
|Spread sheeting over the area where samples are to be processed. For inorganic-constituent samples, use plastic sheeting. For organic-compound samples, use aluminum foil.
|Prevent direct contact with potential source(s) of contamination.
|Exclude airborne particulates by processing samples onsite in processing and preservation chambers.
|Handle anoxic samples rapidly and under an inert gas atmosphere (NFM 4.0.3).
|Keep hands gloved and away from potential sources of contamination while processing samples. While filling the sample bottle, the sample must not come in contact with gloved hands.
|Keep sample-processing equipment covered with a clean, noncontaminating material when not in use; keep sample bottles capped and covered or bagged.

Game Available for Free! This game is available from The Underdogs, as are some other Star Trek based games, for free. I will provide the link below:
http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=1052 - Star Trek: First Contact
I didn't want to add this to the page yet because I don't know if this is acceptable. It is a DOS-based game discontinued by 'Simon & Schuster' and is also available on MobyGames. --Jarada 22:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Most all star trek games and related conputer media is discontinued. As long as it is made by a licensed company then it is acceptable here. Otherwise, and to my knowledge, talk pages are not forums for sharing "free stuff". --Alan del Beccio 22:39, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I definately agree with that. I was asking if it was OK to advertise "free stuff" on the article page, ie; place the above link on the article so vistors can download the game. The game is a freely distributed Star Trek: First Contact game available from the above linked website. If there is a resounding no about that, I will remove the link from here too. If there is a yes, I will move the link. Either way, the link will go. And thanks for the info on my own talk page, will be very helpful. --Jarada 06:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States says China violated international trade rules when it imposed tariffs on about $1 billion of U.S. chicken exports and has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization.
U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk says the tariffs threaten 300,000 jobs in the U.S. poultry industry. The tariffs ranged from 50 to 100 percent, a U.S. trade official said. That means some Chinese importers paid as much as twice the price for U.S. chicken.
The case is one of several that U.S. trade officials have filed against China this year at the WTO. The United States has also filed complaints about Chinese duties on steel products and its subsidies of wind power equipment.
It generally takes about 12 to 18 months for the WTO to resolve a trade dispute.

Environmental Health Sciences - Master of Public Health
Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) is focused on chemical, physical, and biological agents in the environment that affect human health.
Its multidisciplinary scope spans the continuum from the agent source to contamination and human exposure that result in toxicity, infection, or other adverse human health impact. The profession examines both individual and population-level susceptibility factors and interventions that can prevent disease.
The MPH degree program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to be practitioners of public health. This broad training is complemented by the more in-depth course work within your specialization. Course work is combined with a practicum and culminating experience to provide students with the knowledge, experience, and skill to work within a broad range of public and private organizations as environmental health specialists.
MPH students are assigned faculty advisors who will provide guidance regarding their courses, practicum, and culminating project. Students are encouraged to get to know their advisor and meet with him/her at least twice each semester.
Program of Study
The MPH-EHS curriculum consists of a minimum of 45 credits organized into five curricular domains:
1. Core courses in areas of knowledge basic to public health (15 credits)
2. Courses required for a specialization in EHS (19 credits)
3. Approved electives (6 credits)
4. Practicum (2 credits minimum)
5. Culminating project (3 credits minimum)
For detailed additional information about specific requirements, students are directed to the College of Public Health (CPH) Graduate Student Handbook and to the Ohio State University Graduate School Handbook.
Recommended Preparation
Strong undergraduate education in science (e.g. biology and chemistry) and math is recommended. Admission decisions are made largely based on GPA, GRE scores, recommendations, personal statement and experience. Minimum GPA and GRE are generally 3.0 and 50th percentile on Verbal and Quantitative sections, respectively. The personal statement is reviewed for writing ability and "fit" between the student's interest and motivation in the degree, relative to what the degree will achieve and the capability and interests of the faculty. The stronger the application with respect to these elements (especially GPA and GRE), the more likely it will be to compete for financial support..

Reserve Bank of Australia governor
A report by the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements warns against allowing the financial reserves of central banks to be depleted – something the opposition has accused Labor of doing with the RBA.
The BIS – often described as the central bankers' bank – says financial strength is an important buttress to a central bank's credibility and ability to conduct independent monetary policy. It also warns this should be built up during good times, and before crisis strikes.
In Australia, Mr Swan reneged on an in principle agreement with the RBA to allow it to keep all of its $1.1 billion profit from 2011-12 to rebuild a depleted buffer fund. Instead, the government extracted $500 million to help reach its now abandoned budget surplus.
Mr Stevens wanted all of the profit to rebuild the fund – known as the Reserve Bank Reserve Fund (RBRF) – which is used to absorb losses on the central bank's $49 billion portfolio of foreign bonds and gold, as well as operational risks such as fraud.
The RBRF currently stands at $1.9 billion, well below the $6 billion to $7 billion Mr Stevens regards as "prudent". It was depleted in 2010 and 2011 when the rising currency cut the value of the central bank's foreign currency holdings.
Shadow treasurer
The recent strength of the Australian dollar has probably delivered further losses to the fund, and documents released under freedom of information in April showed there would probably be no dividend available for the government this year.
Relatively small falls in the value of the RBA's holdings of gold, foreign bonds and currencies could theoretically wipe out the remaining capital in the fund, putting the institution into "negative equity".
BIS general manager
"The problem is that not everyone appreciates that a central bank's accounting equity can be negative without any reason for alarm bells to ring," he wrote. "Markets may instead react badly in the false belief that losses imply a loss of policy effectiveness."
Politicians could also object, he said, and conclude that bad decisions had been made at taxpayers' expense, or that a central bank depended on government for a rescue."Avoiding these risks probably requires sufficient resources and mechanisms to keep equity positive in the face of losses caused by socially beneficial actions. In short, central bank financial independence is important."
"Such harmful, self-fulfilling prophecies are in nobody's interest," he said.
Mr Caruana said central banks should be equipped to keep performing their functions, even during crisis periods.

Gabion Moss
"Gabion Moss" by Na Hyun Kim
Dates of Installation: 04-16-2011 through 05-16-2011
Artist's Description:
"I will be using natural wool roving, which is made from sheep wool- it's very soft, delicate, and opaque. There are eight sets of gabions in the Art Park, and the fence wiring on these gabions will be used as the component that the wool roving can latch on to. II will be attaching the wool roving in a pattern, so the whole gabion will not be covered. Also, only a thin layer of the wool roving will be installed on top of the gabions. Some parts of the wool roving will be attached securely by string on to the wire fence. Also, real moss will be a part of the installation by growing it on the bottoms of the gabions so that the wool roving and the patches of moss will meet."

ASUS EeeBook X205 Windows laptop now available
Back in September we got our first look at ASUS's sleek budget-friendly EeeBook X205, a thin laptop running Windows 8.1 and offering users a so-called smartphone experience. Though we got all the details on the machine a couple months ago, ASUS was quiet on when it would launch the notebook, something that is no longer of any concern: the laptop is now available, and is priced at $199 USD. The device is poised to take on HP's recent similar offering, the equally budget-friendly Stream 11 notebook.

Prioritising Malaysian workers with a RM 1,100 monthly minimum wage as a step towards achieving our target of a minimum household income of RM4,000 in 5 years
As workers throughout Malaysia celebrate Labour Day 2013, our country badly needs to change in order to address the mounting debt problem faced by every Malaysian family.
According to Bank Negara's Annual Report 2012, Malaysia's household debt stood at RM 755 billion or 81% of our GDP (Gross Domestic Product),making us one of the most indebted nations in Asia. In fact, the estimated rate of growth of household loans in Malaysia stands at 11%, which is higher than our country's estimated nominal GDP growth of 7.8%.
In addition, Malaysian household debt service ratio nears 50%, which means that on average, half of all household income goes to repaying debts. This means that after paying off its loans, Malaysian families have very little left over to spend on food, transport, education and other necessities.
Pakatan Rakyat's minimum wage of RM1,100 a month, including allowances and cost of living but excluding overtime is necessary to enable all Malaysians to escape from poverty. DAP can not understand why BN has set the minimum monthly wage of only RM 900 a month, which is lower than the Poverty Line Indicator of RM763 for Peninsular Malaysia, RM1,048 for Sabah and RM912 for Sarawak. A RM1,100 minimum monthly wage will enable Malaysians not only to escape poverty but live with dignity.
PR's minimum wage policy will not favour foreigners over locals, as our minimum wage of RM 1,100 a month will initially be applicable only to local workers only. This will ensure that Malaysians are prioritised, while at the same time not unduly burden local SMEs. This approach is different from the BN approach of extending their RM900 minimum monthly wage to all foreign workers as PR believes that we should put Malaysian workers first.
At the same time, minimum wage cannot be implemented in isolation. This is why PR proposes that the minimum wage policy be implemented together with other measures such as a RM2 billion minimum wage facilitation fund, financial grants for upskilling of workers as well as automation incentives for SMEs. In addition, there should also be structural reform in the economy in order to create higher productivity jobs and increase the participation of women in the workforce.
In other words, the drive towards a high income economy must be holistic and inclusive of efforts to build and cultivate our human talent. Only then can we achieve our targeted average minimum household income of RM4,000 after 5 years at the end of PR first term.
The choice facing Malaysians in this 13th General Election is now clear. We can either choose to continue in our downward spiral of debt and risk becoming a bankrupt nation, or we can vote for change for a Pakatan Rakyat government which will prioritise local workers above foreigners with a minimum wage policy of RM1,100 as a step towards achieving our targeted minimum household income of RM4,000 in the first 5 years of a PR Federal government.

The Aberdeen Ironbirds scored twice in both the fourth and sixth innings in a 5-1 New York-Penn League victory over Vermont on Wednesday night in the first of a six-game homestand for the Lake Monsters at historic Centennial Field.
Both starting pitchers, Vermont's Kyle Finnegan and Aberdeen's Jorge Rivera, went the first three innings without allowing a baserunner until the Ironbirds tagged Finnegan for three straight two-out hits in the top of the fourth to score a pair of runs. Trey Mancini got the rally started with a single to right before Conor Bierfeldt and Mike Yastzremski smacked back-to-back RBI doubles for the 2-0 lead.
Vermont got its run in the bottom of the fourth on a walk, hit batter and one-out RBI single from Ryan Huck scoring Boog Powell. Huck's single was the only hit for the Lake Monsters until the seventh inning. The Ironbirds increased their lead in the sixth off Vermont reliever Lee Sosa with an RBI single from Yastzremski, the grandson of Boston Red Sox legend Carl Yastzremski, and a sacrifice fly from Hector Veloz for a 4-1 advantage.
Rivera allowed the one run on one hit with one walk and four strikeouts over the first four innings, while reliever Jimm Yacabonis (1-0) earned the win with two hitless innings of relief with four strikeouts. Austin Urban allowed a Vermont hit in each of the last three innings, but did not give up a run for his first save of the year for Aberdeen (16-12).
Finnegan (0-1) was charged with two runs on four hits with four strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings to take the loss, while Sosa three runs (two earned) on two hits with two walks and five strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings. Powell was 0-for-3 with a walk to snap his nine-game hitting streak.
Vermont (12-17) will look to get back in the win column on Thursday as they host Aberdeen in the second of the three-game series begininng at 7:05 pm. It is Kids VT Night at the Ballpark and Kids Eat Free Thursday with the first 500 kids (12 and under) receiving a voucher for a free hot dog, bag of chips and soft drink.
