...rest of the Panamanian market, the Trump Ocean Club is partially financed by a $230 million bond offering from Bear Sterns. That bond is now being handled by JP Morgan following the collapse of Bear Sterns in the 2008 global financial crisis. "Without Trump, we would have lost our shirt," Khafif admits. Since then, more than 2,000 construction workers add a new floor each week, silencing many of the earlier skeptics who claimed the project would never get off the ground...
...Images of King Bhumibol at Red Shirt rallies are almost completely absent. Instead, red shirt leaders keep a statue of King Taksin at their rallies, some Red Shirt guards dress in the style of King Taksin's soldiers, and banners spell the ousted prime minister's name in the manner of the 18th century king.

The monarch's fashion statement galvanized a run on all things pink, with tens of thousands of shirts selling in a matter of days. Last September, the 82-year old King, the world...
...Whatever bodily fluids may be involved, the Red Shirts insist that their message continues to be one of peaceful resistance. The movement's leaders have denied any involvement, however, in a grenade attack on an army base in Bangkok on Monday that wounded two soldiers. "We categorically deny any involvement and we hope the police catch the perpetrators,'' said Red Shirt spokesman Sean Boonpracong. Police have arrested two suspects for the attack. Protest organizers had planned to spread the blood at Government House in the evening, but then announced it would take place later in the afternoon as the donations...
