Teddy Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thailand will issue a passport for fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra "very soon", Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said on Friday. "When Thaksin's passport was cancelled, there was no order from the courts or the police to seize it," Mr Surapong told reporters. "So I will use my authority to do whatever is not illegal under the regulations of the ministry to give the passport to ex-premier Thaksin," he said. "We are checking some more details but it will be very soon. It will be a normal Thai passport. Let's make a normal passport legally first. It doesn't have to be a diplomat passport." Thaksin stripped of his Thai passport by the previous government but received citizenship from Montenegro last year, allowing him to travel internationally. The move to restore his passport is certain to anger Thaksin's enemies, already irked by the opposition's suggestion of an amnesty for political figures including the fugitive former leader. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/268933/thailand-to-issue-passport-for-ex-pm-thaksin-soon-fm I am starting to come round to this idea. Now it is just a case of delaying the inevitable. Let him come back then hopefully someone will take him out. His name constantly hinders the progress of Thailand as it always comes back to this dingus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodKarma Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Some Asian Students Don't Identify As Asian For College Admissions - Huffington Post Lanya Olmstead was born in Florida to a mother who immigrated from Taiwan and an American father of Norwegian ancestry. Ethnically, she considers herself half Taiwanese and half Norwegian. But when applying to Harvard, Olmstead checked only one box for her race: white. "I didn't want to put `Asian' down," Olmstead says, "because my mom told me there's discrimination against Asians in the application process." For years, many Asian-Americans have been convinced that it's harder for them to gain admission to the nation's top colleges. Studies show that Asian-Americans meet these colleges' admissions standards far out of proportion to their 6 percent representation in the U.S. population, and that they often need test scores hundreds of points higher than applicants from other ethnic groups to have an equal chance of admission. Critics say these numbers, along with the fact that some top colleges with race-blind admissions have double the Asian percentage of Ivy League schools, prove the existence of discrimination. The way it works, the critics believe, is that Asian-Americans are evaluated not as individuals, but against the thousands of other ultra-achieving Asians who are stereotyped as boring academic robots. Now, an unknown number of students are responding to this concern by declining to identify themselves as Asian on their applications. For those with only one Asian parent, whose names don't give away their heritage, that decision can be relatively easy. Harder are the questions that it raises: What's behind the admissions difficulties? What, exactly, is an Asian-American – and is being one a choice? Olmstead is a freshman at Harvard and a member of HAPA, the Half-Asian People's Association. In high school she had a perfect 4.0 grade-point average and scored 2150 out of a possible 2400 on the SAT, which she calls "pretty low." College applications ask for parent information, so Olmstead knows that admissions officers could figure out a student's background that way. She did write in the word "multiracial" on her own application. Still, she would advise students with one Asian parent to "check whatever race is not Asian." "Not to really generalize, but a lot of Asians, they have perfect SATs, perfect GPAs, ... so it's hard to let them all in," Olmstead says. read more: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangFarang Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 A luxury sports car outing in Japan has ended in what may be one of the most expensive car crashes in history.Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes, a Lamborghini and two other vehicles were involved in the pile-up in the southern prefecture of Yamaguchi. No-one was seriously hurt, but the road was closed for six hours after the accident. Media reports estimate the damaged cars are worth at least 300m yen ($3.85m; £2.46m) in total. The drivers were on an outing to the city of Hiroshima The sports cars - driven in convoy by a group of automobile enthusiasts - were on their way to Hiroshima, reports Japanese newspaper The Asahi Shimbun. Police say they believe the accident, which took place on Sunday, happened when the driver of one of the Ferraris tried to change lanes and hit the crash barrier. "A group of cars was doing 140-160km/h (85-100mph)," an unidentified eyewitness told Japanese broadcaster TBS. "One of them spun and they all ended up in this great mess." Ten people received minor injuries in the crash, police said. They said some of the vehicles were beyond repair. "I've never seen such a thing," highway patrol lieutenant Eiichiro Kamitani told AFP news agency. "Ferraris rarely travel in such large numbers." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16027006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarangFarang Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 King's picture mixup sheer incompetencePublished: 6/12/2011 at 03:35 PMOnline news: Opinion The prime minister has offered a formal apology for the stupidity of her social media staff for posting King Ananda's picture, instead of HM the King, with her message to the Thai people. To err is human, but this particular error, although human, is totally inexcusable. This huge blunder appeared on Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s Facebook page on December 5, His Majesty the King’s birthday. The page carried her message urging Thai people to join in the celebration of our King's birthday. However, the picture which accompanied the message was not that of HM the King, but that of King Ananda, Rama VIII, and it was in black and white and more than 60 years old. The mix-up of the picture caused an uproar, initially, in the social media community and, eventually, among the general public. “How could that happen on such an auspicious day?”.... “Was there any ill intention in the posting of the wrong picture?”..... These are just two examples of the host of questions raised. When the error was detected, on the same day that it appeared, it was reported that Prime Minister Yingluck offered a formal apology to the Office of the Principal Private Secretary of HM the King. Nevertheless, the apology failed to satisfy quite a few people, many of whom openly questioned the competency of the prime minister’s staff who handled her Facebook page if not the mix-up of the picture itself, whether it was intentional or unintentional. Senator Pornphan Boonyarataphan, chair of the Senate Law Enforcement Follow-up Committee, said she didn’t want to think that the error was intentional and even if it was she did not understand what purpose the mixup would serve. She warned the prime minister’s staff to be more careful. Senator Troengjai Buranasompob said a formal apology from the prime minister to the palace was not enough. Ms Yingluck owes the Thai public an apology, she said. The senator said the excuse offered by PM's secretary-general Banthoon Supakkavanich, that Ms Yingluck had nothing to do with the mixup, was unacceptable. She was responsible for anything issued in her name. Democrat MP Thepthai Senniam suggested that the prime minister should stop using her Facebook or Tweet accounbts -- to avoid embarrassing herself with the untentional errors. I don’t think that the prime minister had anything to do with the blunder. Also I'm not happy with the idea that someone on her staff intentionally posted the wrong picture. That would not serve any good purpose for the prime minister herself or the government. That leaves only one possibility, the quality of the prime minister’s social media staff -- which, I suspect, is totally unreliable and incompetent. A media person with just a modicum of intelligence should have prepared in advance the pictures of HM the King to go with the prime minister’s message. There must be hundreds, thousands, of the King’s pictures to choose from. And to pick one which was more than 60 years old and, even worse, a wrong one, is simply beyond my wildest imagination -- unless, of course, the person who chose the picture is a moron. If it was the case that picture of the late King Ananda was mixed up in the same file with the pictures of HM the King, then the filing system at the prime minister’s social media staff is, at best, a total mess. In a newspaper, the person responsible for putting in the wrong picture in this case would face the axe. It's inexcusable. So, what action will the prime minister take? Even more disturbing is how many more incompetent people are among the staff surrounding our prime minister -- still working and, more importantly, in important positions? http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/269525/king-picture-mixup-a-reflection-of-sheer-incompetency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Monday 5 December 2011 by Gary Stanton Beijing Zoo to breed Glaswegian couple in panda exchange deal Beijing zoo has accepted a pair of sexually active Glaswegians in an exchange deal for two pandas, according to reports. Jimmy and Shirley McDonald, both 34, arrived on a Ryan Air flight yesterday morning and were given a bagpipe greeting before being locked up in separate cages with some drugs and a Krankies ‘Best Of’ DVD. Mr McDonald, a spot-welder by trade, has already been dubbed Chang Chang by zoo authorities which translates as ‘don’t stare at directly’, while wife Shirley is Xiaow Xiaow meaning ‘stay the **** away from’. Capt Paul Cassel, the chief Ryan Air pilot, said the pair were among the most boisterous cargo he had flown and were ‘not unlike humans in first class, who sit back, eat, drink and enjoy the ride, but mainly drink’ The separate cages are designed to mimic behaviour in the wild where the male is rarely present and to prevent the pair fighting which has happened with previous attempts to mate Glaswegians in captivity. A small hatch between the cages opens for a few minutes every hour to allow the pair to have rough sex with expletives like in any Irvine Welsh novel. Mr McDonald appeared subdued after the 10-hour flight to Beijing and told reporters he was ‘looking forward to a pish’ and ‘a chinkie’. The McDonald’s annual food bill is estimated at £500, and although their diet consists mostly of deep fried Mars Bars, they will also eat rats, mice and chips. The zoo will also have to pay around £50,000 a year in housing benefit to the couple, who are expected to boost visitor numbers by 70 per cent. Their keepers hope they will not only find the cold climate to their liking, but will become the first Celts to breed in China, since a pair of Partick Thistle fans were arrested in a public toilet off Tianamen Square in 1991.

Teddy Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Fugitive red shirt leader Arisman Pongruangrong has said he will turn himself in to the Department of Special Investigation Wednesday. DSI chief Tharit Pengdit said on Tuesday that Mr Arisman had contacted authorities and said he would surrender at 10am. Mr Arisman, a leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, faces charges in five cases, including his role in leading UDD protesters to storm parliament last year, the raid on Thaicom satellite broadcasting station in Pathum Thani, and terrorism in connection with last year's red shirt protests. He fled the country following violent clashes between security forces and red shirt protesters last year and has reportedly been in hiding in Cambodia. After turning himself in, Mr Arisman will handed to the prosecution on special cases, the DSI chief said. Prosecutors will decide whether to grant his bail request. Meanwhile, opposition Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday lashed out at Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung over his remark that the Reuters news agency had hired an independent team to investigate the death of its Japanese photographer Hiroyuki Muramoto, saying the minister was trying to politicise the issue. He accused Mr Chalerm of trying to influence officials handling the photographer's death. Muramoto was killed while covering clashes on April 10 last year between security forces and red shirts at Kok Wua intersection in Bangkok. The Democrat leader, who was prime minister during the red shirt unrest, said he had earlier asked the government to let officials carry out the probe. He said if Mr Chalerm had any evidence or information related to the case, he should give it to the officials. Mr Abhisit said he was preparing for his testimony before the the Metropolitan Police Bureau's panel on Friday. He and former deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban are required to testify regarding their roles in handling the UDD rallies in April and May last year. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/politics/269566/arisman-set-to-surrender-to-dsi-today I think the comments have pretty much expressed what will happen to him. Discussion 5 : 07/12/2011 at 08:35 AM5 A 61 year old man get 20 years because he couldn't prove he didn't send some SMS's. What is the penalty for inciting a crowd to burn a hospital? Cabinet position most likely. Discussion 3 : 07/12/2011 at 08:15 AM3By surrender they mean made a deal to not do any jail time and be rewarded with a government post and immunity . Discussion 2 : 07/12/2011 at 06:07 AM2This role model for the Thai youth would only surrender, if he knew that he was going to be released on bail; tried by judges, who are friends of Thaksin and/or who have been rewarded in advance with huge sums of money to reject all videos about his acts as "circumstantial evidence that is not admissible in court"; and where the only witness who will appear in court will be a deaf and blind mute. Then he'll become a Pheu Thai MP and in the following Cabinet reshuffle he'll be promoted to Minister of Truth and Reconciliation. Discussion 1 : 07/12/2011 at 06:02 AM1He will "surrender" at 10am and by noon,he will be a Peua Thai MP,as DSI will have dropped all charges,saying stuff like...politically motivated,no evidence,no witnesses,he was a peaceful law-abiding pro-democracy protester,it is a set-up...blah blah.

FarangFarang Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Follow up to Teddy's post: The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) core member surrendered to officers of the Department of Special Investigation, saying he would fight terrorism charges brought against him. The DSI handed him over to special cases prosecutors who then filed a case with the Criminal Court. The prosecutors took Mr Arisman to the court and charged him with instigating an insurrection against the Abhisit Vejjajiva government. They accused him of intimidating Mr Abhisit into dissolving the House and calling an election, and of leading red shirt demonstrators to lay siege to several places such as the Election Commission and Parliament as well as storming Chulalongkorn Hospital. During the unrest, M79 grenades were fired at several government buildings, including the Defence Ministry, the Public Health Ministry and the Internal Security Operations Command, prosecutors said. Mr Arisman has denied all charges. Prosecutors raised no objection to Mr Arisman being released on bail on the grounds that he surrendered voluntarily. Wasuthep Srisoda, Mr Arisman's lawyer, applied for bail, offering 1.2 million baht as a cash surety. However, the court denied bail, reasoning the terrorism charges against Mr Arisman carry a high penalty and he had been on the run for a long time before he turned himself in. Mr Arisman is also wanted in many other cases and could flee again or try to meddle with evidence if he was released on bail, the court said. Mr Wasuthep said he would lodge an appeal today and would raise the bail surety being offered to 2 million baht. Leaving the courtroom, Mr Arisman was taken to the Bangkok Remand Prison for detention. Earlier in the morning, Mr Arisman said during a radio interview that the government should reinstate the 1997 constitution. The former pop singer admitted to having fled the country after the UDD ended its protest on May 19 last year and to living in Cambodia. Mr Arisman said he did not surrender earlier because he had no confidence in the judicial process and also feared he would be hunted down or kidnapped. He claimed he had narrowly escaped arrest many times. He had decided to surrender because he now had new confidence in the justice process and believed he would be safe. He said the UDD had achieved 50% of its goals and it was now up to the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to fulfil the other half. He also said he will lodge a petition with the Constitution Court to rule if the charges brought against him were too severe. Democrat Party MP for Songkhla Sirichok Sopha said yesterday Mr Arisman was also required to report to the Songkhla Court under a warrant issued in a defamation case. He said he filed a defamation suit after Mr Arisman accused him on the UDD stage of interfering in the transfer of police last year. The court issued a warrant for Mr Arisman's arrest. Mr Sirichok said he had sent a letter to the DSI and to Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Vinai Thongsong asking that they also ensure Mr Arisman report to the Songkhla Court. Pheu Thai list MP and UDD co-leader Korkaew Pikulthong yesterday said red shirt supporters were dismayed to learn that Mr Arisman had been denied bail and would be held in detention. However, Mr Korkaew said the bail denial would not lead to any violent protest. He said the UDD would not pressure the court into granting bail to Mr Arisman. He urged all red shirt supporters to be patient and avoid taking to the streets in protest at Mr Arisman's bail denial. Mr Korkaew said Mr Arisman should not be held in detention if national reconciliation was to be achieved. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/269756/firebrand-arisman-denied-bail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hurricane Bawbag is the colloquial name given to an intense mid-latitude storm that brought hurricane-force winds to Scotland during the week beginning on 5 December 2011. The storm also brought prolonged gales and rough seas to many other regions within the British Isles. On 8 December, winds reached up to 165 mph (265 km/h) at elevated areas, with sustained wind speeds of up to 80 mph (135 km/h) reported across populous areas. The winds uprooted trees and resulted in the closure of many roads, bridges, schools and businesses. Overall the storm was the worst to affect Scotland in 10 years. Have to laugh at this; 'hurricane bawbag' was trending #1 on Twitter worldwide for a while yesterday. And most folk did not know what a 'bawbag' was (other than a scrotum) [TABLE=width: 475] [TR] [TD=class: word]bawbag[/TD] [TD=class: tools][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD=class: text, colspan: 2]Glasgow, Scotland origin, derogitary name given to one who is annoying, useless or just plain stupid. To compare one with such an ugly part of the male anatomy should be insult enough... "Look you fuckin' bawbag, you are about as useful as a *** with no nipple."[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] In the end, there was a lot less damage than expected; few trees and fences down and this spectacular pic of a turbine blowing up.
