German economy succumbs to euro gloom
24 May 2012 at 5:41am

BERLIN (Reuters) - German business sentiment collapsed in May and the manufacturing sector shrank as turmoil in the euro zone unsettled firms, threatening to end the immunity of Europe's largest economy to the troubles surrounding it. Germany's "Teflon economy" has so far avoided the fate of its European peers thanks to strong exports to other parts of the world and healthy domestic demand, and data confirmed on Thursday it grew 0.5 percent in the first quarter. ...

Stock futures edge up before durable goods, jobless data
24 May 2012 at 5:38am

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock index futures edged higher on Thursday as investors were hopeful that data on durable goods orders and initial jobless claims will show the world's largest economy is on the right track to recovery. But trading was expected to be volatile as regional data out of Europe showed some deterioration in economic activity and investors remained concerned about Greece's exit from the euro zone. The Labor Department releases first-time claims for jobless benefits for the week ended May 19 at 8:30 a.m. EDT (1230 GMT). ...

24 May 2012 at 5:26am
LONDON (Reuters) - A Venezuelan oil tanker is returning to Venezuela from Syria with a cargo of naphtha, shipping records showed on Thursday, after delivering badly needed diesel early this week as Western sanctions, causing severe shortages, hurt Syria's economy.

Euro zone slump deepens, China falters
24 May 2012 at 5:11am

LONDON (Reuters) - The shadows being cast over the global economy darkened this month as the euro zone's private sector declined further and China's once-booming factories faltered, business surveys showed on Thursday.

"We are very much in a period of weakening global growth. ...

Oil climbs back above $106 as Iran talks stall
24 May 2012 at 5:08am

LONDON (Reuters) - Brent crude oil rose above $106 per barrel on Thursday as reports of a hiccup in talks with Iran over its nuclear program balanced the effect of weak economic data from China and Europe. Iran accused world powers on Thursday of creating "a difficult atmosphere" that hindered negotiations on its atomic energy program, signaling a snag in diplomacy to defuse fears of a covert Iranian bid to develop nuclear bombs. Brent futures rose 74 cents to $106.30 by 1042 GMT after earlier touching a high of $106.68 before weak Chinese and European economic data sparked a bout of selling. ...

UK recession deepens as euro zone woes mount
24 May 2012 at 3:26am

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain fell deeper into recession than initially thought in the first quarter of 2012 due to a slump in construction output, raising the likelihood that the Bank will opt to inject more stimulus to protect the economy from the euro zone debt crisis. Britain is in its second recession since the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and the prospects for a recovery are cloudy as leaders in the euro zone, Britain's biggest trading partner, are still far from resolving their debt woes. ...

03 Merc Sprinter needs replacement steering rack at 10,500 miles?
Firstly I am in hot dispute with DaimlerChryslerAG/Mercedes Benz as the vehicle concerned is a motorhome, never been 'kerbed' yet developed a leak in the power steering system while we were on holiday. We limped back home (big mistake, apparently) and in spite of the Merc franchised garage requesting a goodwill replacement as this is not a normal occurrence at such a low mileage, DC/MB have refused without giving adequate reason other than the vehicle being out of warranty as it is an import, despite being built to UK specs for us prior to conversion into a motorhome. All that aside, to add insult to injury, the projected cost of replacement/repair will be �1000 just for the steering rack, and another �700+ for labour and VAT ~if~ (and it's a big 'if') I go back to the repairing dealership. So A) Has anyone else owning a Sprinter van had this sort of trouble this early, and B) Can anyone tell me a good source and price of recon steering racks, please. My own advice to anyone considering buying a Merc Sprinter might be a bit biased. Don't! For the extra cost you get no better back-up from the Customer Service department than you would from Ford, Fiat or Renault, and their servicing and maintenance costs are a damn sight cheaper! Thanks Ian - interesting to hear from the other side of the counter! :-) They do seem to have some history of the vehicle as they had no prob tracking down details. I'm certainly looking into the recon and alternative repair shop details - so far I've bested their price by �500, but they don't use Laserline to re-align the wheels. Is this ultra-important? I'm lining up my second salvo even as I type - I ain't finished with 'em yet.... Thanks for your reply - hope you're happy in your new job! Thanks Khan, yes, they do need to be taught a lesson! Thanks Mango - had a look at the site but it doesn't seem to deal with commercial chassis, only cars.However, we have two cars as well so it's filed for future reference!

From my last question it would appear that all you people believe in different GODS?
So whom among you is right? which GOD is the true GOD? Which religion or denomination is right? I am open to conversion, if you can covince me that your god is the one true god. And does that mean that all those who do not beleive in your GOD are going to HELL
