GAO Sustains Boeing's Aerial Refueling Tanker Protest and Cites Significant
2008-06-19 16:25:00 The GAO announced yesterday that it had decided to sustain Boeing’s protest of the Air Force’s selection of Northrop Grumman (who included the European company Airbus on its team) over Boeing for the $40 billion aerial tanker contract - a contract that could ultimately be worth $100 billion. Considering the GAO’s history of denying most of the protests that come before it, today’s outcome is likely a surprise to the many who expected the Office to stand behind the Air Force’s source selection. The much-discussed dispute has been waging since March 11, 2008 when Boeing filed its protest. Prior to this award, Boeing had been the Air Force’s only supplier of this type of aircraft for fifty years. The actual sixty-nine page decision was filed under a protective order and has not yet been released. A public version will be made available once all interested parties review it and identify all sensitive information ...

A Paul campaign aide said the Texas congressman hopes to pack about 11,000 supporters into the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota on Sept. 2, which coincides with the second day of the Republican National Convention at the Xcel Energy Center in neighboring St. Paul. Paul, 72, will announce details for the rally Thursday at the start of the Texas Republican Convention in Houston. The campaign hopes the daylong event will "send a message to the Republican Party," Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton tells the Tribune-Review. "There is a growing surge of people out there just craving" for a return "to traditional American government, limited government that places perso...

CAW workers blockade GM?s Canadian HQ in protest of plant closure
2008-06-04 19:58:00 CAW workers blockade GM's Canadian HQ in protest of plant closure General Motors union workers affected by the automaker's decision to close four truck and SUV plants continue to voice their displeasure as CAW members blocked the entrance to GM of Canada's headquarters in Oshawa, Ontario. General Motors announced Tuesday at its annual meeting that it would be shuttering the doors of four of its truck and SUV plants due to sagging demand — including its Oshawa truck plant. In addition to the loss of about 2,600 jobs, the CAW is upset because it feels GM broke a recently inked agreement to keep the Oshawa plant open. "We are going to stay here until General Motors reverses the decision they made yesterday, or at the very least commits to a product for the Oshawa truck plant, or sits down face-to-face with this union to try to explain why they have broken our brand new agreement," Chris Buckley, of the Canadian Auto Workers union, told Automotive News...

About 2,000 people marched on the presidential palace in Jakarta, and there were similar rallies in Medan in North Sumatra and in the country's second-largest city of Surabaya in East Java. Police said they detained at least 27 people in Jakarta after some demonstrators at the rally, which included students, farmers and workers, threw rocks, bottles and at least one petrol bomb at police. "I'm listening to issues the students are voicing as part of the unfinished reform agenda," President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told reporters. "Demonstrations are normal in a democracy, as long as they are orderly, because if anarchic, they will only add to problems," he added.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-

People who live in glass houses shouldn?t stage an Olympic protest
2008-05-20 15:49:00 Though a little late in the game, calls for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics can still be heard. For instance, President Bush and Russian President Dimitry Medvedev plan to attend the August 8 opening ceremonies. But French President Nicolas Sarkozy may be a no-show unless Chinese authorities negotiate with Tibetan leaders. Since the March 10th uprising in Tibet, Chinese security forces have terrorized Tibetans by not only firing upon, but “disappearing” protesters. They also occupied monasteries and villages. Meanwhile, 194 American rabbis recently signed a letter protesting China’s support for Sudan and its brutal oppression of Darfur. Besides investing billions of dollars to help prop up the brutal Khartoum regime, China has sold it assault rifles and other weapons. “Insecurity,” reports Foreign Policy in Focus’s John Feffer, “which poses the greatest threat to civilians and humanitarians in Darfur, derives directly from the arrogant def...

Dear Colleagues, At the risk of boring the ‘uninterested’ ones we feel we must update you all on our progress. We have managed to muddle through another hectic weekend and we hope you all have managed to get through it unscathed. We thank everyone for the enormous response we have received. It is truly heart warming to at last realise we are not alone down here in deepest, darkest Wales, and that there are tens, if not hundreds of other companies in exactly the same position as us. Nearly everyone who rang us or emailed us wanted imminent action in some shape or form and so far we seem to have recruited in excess of 150 limousines, which is fabulous, and the numbers are increasing with every passing day. It is clear there is a real and urgent need for something to be done and indeed the industry is crying out for this. At present, after listening to everyone’s availability it looks as th...
