AFA-CWA Optimistic Despite Court's Decision to Abrogate Northwest Flight Attendants Contract
Thursday June 29, 6:00 pm ET


WASHINGTON, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- A federal bankruptcy judge today granted Northwest Airlines the right to abrogate the contract of their over 9,300 flight attendants. However, the court instituted a 14-day stay on the decision so that both parties can continue to negotiate. If no agreement is reached, the company can impose only those terms and conditions listed in the tentative agreement that failed last month. In addition, the court stated that "all concerned would be well-served if the flight attendants and the Debtors could resolve their disputes through continued negotiation ... the Court is therefore requiring the parties to make one last effort to reach a ratifiable agreement."

Spanish Reporter: No Hezbollah in Qana - UK, Egypt, Syria and Jordan Condemn Attack
Reported by Marie Therese - July 30, 2006 - comments
All morning the FOX & Friends trio has been doing its level best to absolve Israel of all responsibility for the 50+ deaths that occurred in the town of Qana in southern Lebanon. In typical FOX fashion, every time Greg Palkot files a report from Tyre(Tyre提尔(古代腓尼基Phoenicia 的有名港口, 现属黎巴嫩)), he offers up so many possibilities that one cannot assign blame. About 15 minutes ago, Palkot did, however, say that there seem to be no men of fighting age in the town.

Had a few spells of abstinence...Been to AA a number of times.. been on SR a few times.. both of whom have helped me a lot

Ive got anxiety/depression issues and seeing a therapist to try and sort that out.
Drinking made me confident, but always a vicous cycle as the day after a binge I would be anxious about things I may or may not have done when out of it. Blackouts everytime I drunk.

Cyanide tastes acrid, says suicide note

A suicide note left behind by a goldsmith says the deadly cyanide tastes acrid and burns the tongue?

Perhaps this is the first-ever real-life account of a person tasting cyanide. No one who had got the real state ever lived to tell the tale.

Here too the victim is gone but he had caught a few fleeting moments before his first accidental taste and final gulp when he penned his findings.

What your trustees should know  
July 29, 2006

By Charlene Clayton

For many of us, the money in our company pension fund is all the savings we have at retirement. Yet few of us have the foggiest idea how our fund works – let alone how it’s performing. We’re only too happy to leave it to our trustees. We give you 10 key questions that you should ask the trustees of your fund.

5. Is my fund in a healthy financial state?
To ensure that your retirement fund investments are safeguarded, you need information about the financial state of your fund, Albert says.

Typically, such information can be obtained from the annual financial statements, as well as the auditor’s report and the actuarial valuation, which must be done every three years.

Ethics? It can addle the brain

Ruth Sheehan, Staff Writer
One of my friends has a theory that, with young children and a full-time job, she simply cannot fit more into her brain.

It's full. If she adds something new, something else falls out.

I like to use that explanation for my own moments of short-term memory loss.

Did lawmakers forget that secrecy breeds suspicion -- not to mention more shenanigans? Maybe their brains are simply too full.

Gene flow from GE to conventional maize using real-time PCR

Worldwide commercialization and increasing acreage of genetically engineered organisms (GEO) have propitiated the approval of labeling regulations in several countries to protect the consumers' right to information.

It is important to take into consideration the extent of pollen dissemination from transgenic to conventional crops under field conditions to properly establish containment strategies to minimize the adventitious presence of transgenes in conventional or organic crops. Of particular concern is maize, of which there are an increasing number of GE varieties cultivated worldwide
