Germans rally against planned EU trade deals with US, Canada
– canadianbusiness.com
BERLIN – Thousands of people are rallying in cities across Germany to protest against planned European Union trade deals with the United States and Canada.
Opponents say the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership being negotiated between the U.S. and the EU would undermine European environmental standards and consumer rights.
Protesters gathered in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig and Frankfurt on Saturday may have felt emboldened by Germany’s economy minister, who declared last month that the TTIP talks had “de facto failed, even though nobody is really admitting it.” His assertion was swiftly rejected by officials in Washington and Brussels.
Negotiations for a similar deal with Canada have progressed further, although France, Germany and Austria have voiced lingering concerns.
Backers say such trade deals would boost the global economy.

– canadianbusiness.com
CARMEL, Ind. – For-profit college operator ITT Educational Services Inc. has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The Indianapolis Star reported Friday (http://indy.st/2cfFMkV ) that the Carmel, Indiana-based company is unloading its assets after the shutdown of 130 campuses nationwide. The closure displaced more than 35,000 students and more than 8,000 employees.
It is the second major for-profit college operator to file for bankruptcy in the past two years amid a federal crackdown on the industry. ITT has blamed government regulation.

ITT was accused of failing to disclose bad loans, inflating job placement numbers and using aggressive recruiting tactics.
ITT listed its assets and liabilities at between $100 million and $500 million.

America’s press is dead. Long live the billionaires.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump walks away from the podium after stating that U.S. President Barack Obama was born in the United States at a campaign event at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., September 16, 2016. (Mike Segar/Reuters)Friday felt familiar.
Four years ago, in the fall of 2012, billionaire real estate mogul, TV star, and gold-plating aficionado Donald Trump teased the media with the suggestion that he had a big announcement to make. He called it a “bombshell”. He called it an “October surprise”. When it finally happened—on October 24 of that year—it turned out to be a YouTube video. Facing a camera sitting at desk-level, Trump offered to send $5 million to a charity of Barack Obama’s choice if the president released his passport and college admission records.
Trump’s challenge came a year after Obama had already released his full birth certificate, and about four years after the “birthers” movement—a collection of people who believe Obama was born outside the United States (possibly Kenya), and to whose theories Trump fully subscribed—started gaining traction, demanding proof the president was an American…
