More Americans say Supreme Court is too conservative
I would call the present Court an echo chamber for reactionaries. The machinations of McConnell et al to engineer this majority are a subversion of democracy.

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
But who's name is on the share register?

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
It seems that the complainants are basing ownership listed on the share register of the defunct company. In the US there is a market (pink sheets) for delisted shares.

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
Apparently he did divest himself of the shares, but there was and is no way to record that on the share register. These were his father's shares, so I guess his dad's name was and is still listed as owner.

S. Korea and Taiwan changed. Why not Thailand?

Neurologist for brain MRI?
Sorry, I was talking about a newer CT scanner (as an alternative to a MRI machine).

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
It was explained that due to the company being inactive, the shares cannot be traded on BSE and the company register cannot be altered to reflect any transfer of ownership. The other MP possessor of iTV shares is said to have created a document giving his shares to a relative, and Pita may have done something similar.

Neurologist for brain MRI?
The device is just a ring not more than 15 cm thick as I remember. How could anyone experience claustrophobia with that?

Pita ready to step aside if his party fails to win senators’ hearts
This reminds me of the naivete of Obama. After the big victory in 2008, he became overconfident and complacent and soon after lost his 60 member supermajority in the US Senate.

Neurologist for brain MRI?
Years ago I had a CT scan (abdomen) with a CT device that was just a doughnut ring. It took seconds. How could that be claustrophobic? Maybe a hospital here has one like that.

Thai scam gang member arrested trafficking Chinese man
There was a Panorama program on BBC about such a scam operation in Sihanoukville where they got women in the US to part with $ millions. The scam workers were Chinese lured to Cambodia as described here.

Rosuvastatin in Thailand
This year a group was asking for Crestor to be removed from the US market, but apparently that has not happened. What's odd is that the group was complaining about a recently approved Crestor. Maybe that concerned an approval for a new pediatric treatment which Astra Zeneca was claiming would entitle it to prolong it's exclusivity for adult usage, but the FDA rejected that gambit. Crestor has actually been around since around 2003. It is the brand product of the drug rosuvastatin. I just bought Crestor in a pharmacy in CM.
