[MBZ] Another Gary Fan
I haven't ordered Mercedes parts in some time. Then I had a front brake caliper stick on my 300SD. I emailed Gary about getting the needed parts. He advised me on the quality and lead times of the various options. His prices were competitive. He called for credit card information only when everything was ready to ship and I received the package promptly. This is pretty-much everything I want in a parts supplier. This is only one data point but Gary gets my endorsement.

[MBZ] BP and Shell 'rigged Brent oil price for a decade',
BP and Shell 'rigged Brent oil price for a decade', traders claim Oil giants BP and Royal Dutch Shell are accused by traders of manipulating the Brent crude oil price for more than a decade. European investigators have said the alleged price-rigging could have had a 'huge impact' on the cost of oil Photo: ALAMY By Emily Gosden 11:15AM GMT 06 Nov 2013 BP and Royal Dutch Shell have been accused of manipulating the Brent crude oil price for more than a decade, in allegations filed in a lawsuit in New York. The North Sea oil benchmark is used as the basis for trades across the global commodity markets, affecting the price of thousands of consumer products from petrol to food. The class action claim, brought by four traders, was lodged last month in the wake of the European Commission in May launching an investigation into alleged price rigging by the companies. The court filing alleges that the companies - along with Norway's Statoil, Morgan Stanley, Trafigura, Vitol and others - "monopolized the Brent Crude Oil market and entered into an unlawful combination, agreement, and conspiracy to fix and restrain trade in, and intentionally manipulate Brent Crude Oil prices and the prices of Brent Crude oil futures contracts". It alleges the rigging took place through the companies "deliberately reporting inaccurate, misleading, and false information regarding Brent Crude Oil prices and transactions to Platts", one of the key price-reporting agencies. "By providing false or inaccurate information and engaging in false or sham trading, defendants undermined the entire pricing structure for the Brent Crude Oil physical and futures markets," it alleges. The lawsuit does not name Platts as a defendant but alleges that the method by which Platts collects data to set the price "can be easily gamed by market participants that make false, inaccurate or misleading trades". It warns: "Crude oil is one of the most vital commodities in the world, serving as the essential product for modern end-use applications varying from household plastics to transportation.Brent Crude Oil is in high demand and serves as a benchmark for two-thirds of the world's internationally-traded crude oil supplies." In May the EC raided the offices of companies including BP, Shell and Statoil. It warned that "even small distortions of assessed prices may have a huge impact on the prices of crude oil, refined oil products and biofuels purchases and sales, potentially harming final consumers". The US Federal Trade Commission in June launched its own investigation into the allegations. It is understood the US regulators asked Shell to provide them with the same information it had provided to European authorities, but that the Anglo-Dutch giant referred them back to Brussels. BP and Shell both declined to comment. Shell's chief executive, Peter Voser, has previously declared that the company has "nothing to hide". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/10429918/BP-and-Shell-rigged-Brent-oil-price-for-a-decade-traders-claim.html ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] All alone again.
What Alex said. Good luck! Having worked in education, both higher and lower, as well as having an undergraduate degree in the same, I can say with some level of confidence that most of the people I know/knew/worked with, especially at the college level, were intelligent, dedicated folks. You won't get far in higher education if you're not motivated or fail to produce. I loved the environment, but long term it didn't make sense for me for a lot if reasons. That being said, had I been younger I might have continued in that direction. There are plenty of people in education who know nothing of the "real world" in sort of a business sense, which is a detriment. You have experience in this area, which gives you a facet of knowledge and understanding that many career educators will never possess. Call it naïveté or just ignorance, you will definitely experience it in education. It's like it's own little universe for some... Again, best of luck! I have always like MA, especially the Boston area, of which I have relatives in and have worked in a great deal. Winters suck, but I can say that because I live in Florida (it's warm today, getting up in the low 80s.)
