AMSA has requested a cargo manifest for Flight M370 from Malaysia Airlines.
The manifest is expected to give the search operation a better idea in identifying objects they spot in the Indian Ocean if they indeed came from the missing plane.
However, the Malaysian authorities to date have refused to release it, insisting the document is with the police who are conducting their own investigation into the cause of the plane’s disappearance.

Most interested in Matt McC's regimen for becoming this gaunt without dying. Couldn't really buy his transformation from crass redneck to microfiche reading medical researcher. Movie ran about 20 minutes too long but I watched the whole thing at normal speed, thus earning a yellow rating.

ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- October 13, 2014
Four changes to the trading portfolio this week ... MidCaps were a long held long, now reversed ... being on the right side of VXX/XIV (and Energies: DUG, ERY, SCO) helped soften the blow of the bad across the board market breakdown. The bonds reversed in September 2013, so recognizing that at the time, when no one else did, has also helped.
Willing To Act Faster And Pay More
From November 1989 ... reminded by recent Waldorf sale (emphasis mine):
The sale of controlling interest in Rockefeller Group Inc. to a Japanese firm was denounced by some people as a foreign takeover of one of America's classic landmarks.
But U.S. companies weren't totally left out in the cold. The owner of Rockefeller Center contacted some 20 potential investors -- two-thirds of them from the U.S. -- in its search for a joint venture partner.
Few of the dozen interested parties could compete, however, with Mitsubishi Estate Co., real-estate professionals say, because it wanted so badly to get into the New York market and was willing to act faster and pay more.
The Japanese real estate giant agreed last month to pay $846 million for 51% of Rockefeller Group, which also is involved in real estate development, management and brokerage.
People familiar with competing firms' strategies say Mitsubishi's offer was much higher than offers that others were contemplating. But other potential investors complain Mitsubishi had an unfair advantage. They say Mitsubishi got a jump on studying Rockefeller Group's finances and was allowed to make an advance bid that pre-empted an auction.
Not so, says Raymond Mikulich, managing director of Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc., which handled the sale for Rockefeller Group. He says all investors were told they could place a pre-emptive bid by agreeing to the seller's financial and management conditions. "But of all the people we talked to, none was as aggressive as Mitsubishi," he says.
They increased their stake in Rockefeller Group in July 1990 and July 1991. Japanese had bad timing with Pebble Beach golf course and Hotel Bel-Air as well.

Almost half of 24 to 29 year olds have never married, up from about a quarter in the mid-1980s, according to research presented in August by Census Bureau demographers Laryssa Mykyta and Jonathan Vespa. The median age of first marriage rose to a record high of 29 years for men and 26.6 years for women in 2013, up more than six years since 1959, the agency reported.
The proportion of men ages 25 to 29 able to support a family of four at the poverty line dropped from 78 percent in 1970 to 47 percent in 2012

The Way Ahead in Hong Kong by Chris Patten - Project Syndicate
No one told Hong Kongers when they were assured of universal suffrage that it would not mean being able to choose for whom they could vote. No one said that Iran was the democratic model that China’s Communist bureaucracy had in mind, with the Chinese government authorized to exercise an effective veto over candidates.

Who Loves China? by Ian Buruma - Project Syndicate
"China’s government has promised Hong Kong’s citizens that they can freely elect their Chief Executive in 2017. But, given that candidates are to be carefully vetted by an unelected committee of pro-Chinese appointees, citizens would have no meaningful choice at all."
