Air Canada is seeking financial compensation from the union representing its 6,800 flight attendants, amid an allegation that union brass have been negotiating in bad faith.

The airline said Thursday afternoon that the Canadian Union of Public Employees hasn't done enough to ensure that a new contract is ratified by union members, who have been in a long-running dispute with Canada's largest air carrier.

The airline said Thursday afternoon that the Canadian Union of Public Employees hasn't done enough to ensure that a new contract is ratified by union members, who have been in a long-running dispute with Canada's largest air carrier. "Though the company was given assurances of unanimous support from the CUPE leadership for the first tentative agreement, individual base presidents remained silent or expressed views against ratification during the ratification process," Air Canada stated.

The airline, which has submitted the unfair practice complaint to the Canada Industrial Relations Board, did not say how much it was seeking in compensation.

Herman Cain is running on three numbers: 9-9-9. “Nine percent corporate business flat tax, nine percent income flat tax and a nine percent national sales tax,” he said, explaining the plan once again during Tuesday night’s Republican presidential debate.

The former Godfather’s Pizza CEO’s campaign is surging, partly thanks to 9-9-9, and one sure sign that his candidacy has taken off is that during the debate other candidates spent most of their time attacking his tax plan.

Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.

The first and most appealing part of Cain’s plan is that it completely scraps the current tax system. Social Security taxes would be eliminated, as well as estate taxes and capital gains taxes. Deductions and corporate loopholes would be gone too.

They've been a focus here at this year's CTIA Enterprise & Applications show. AT&T executive Glenn Lurie called it "the next big thing" in the wireless industry yesterday. His boss, AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega, reiterated the sentiment today at the keynote address. Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead also talked up its position in the connected devices business.

The GSM Association and Machina Research said the addressable market for the wireless industry could be worth $1.2 trillion (yes, trillion) by 2020.

E-readers, digital picture frames, and vehicle tracking devices are obvious examples of connected devices. Tom Nelson, an executive in Sprint Nextel's emerging solutions group, talked about some of the more unorthodox connected devices. The carrier should know; it helped pioneer the original Amazon Kindle business model, which folded in the cellular cost into the purchase price of the digital book.

A connected kiosk with a high-definition display at a store allows customers to come up and ask a remote sales clerk for help. Updated information can be beamed to the kiosk in real time depending on the situation.

On this 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, we remember that 9/11 was not only an attack on the United States, it was an attack on the world and on the humanity and hopes that we share.

We remember that among the nearly 3,000 innocent people lost that day were hundreds of citizens from more than 90 nations. They were men and women, young and old, of many races and faiths. On this solemn anniversary we join with their families and nations in honoring their memory.

We remember with gratitude how ten years ago the world came together as one. Around the globe, entire cities came to a standstill for moments of silence. People offered their prayers in churches, mosques, synagogues and other places of worship. And those of us in the United States will never forget how people in every corner of the world stood with us in solidarity in candlelight vigils and among the seas of flowers placed at our embassies.

We remember that in the weeks after 9/11, we acted as an international community. As part of a broad coalition, we drove al Qaeda from its training camps in Afghanistan, toppled the Taliban, and gave the Afghan people a chance to live free from terror. However, the years that followed were difficult and the spirit of global partnership we felt after 9/11 frayed.
