Concerns about the damage of US Visa?

One of my friend holds South Korean passport, and for his flight back to Korea in June he has to transfer in San Francisco.

Toronto~~San Francisco~~Seoul

However, due to strage reasons the passport is left in the washing machine.
US visa is mostly fine but lose all the colors on it, it becomes lighter and brighter. Ink splashed through the surface slightly.

Passport is fine and all the personel info remains well on it.

Do you think he can pass the immigration when he has to change flight in San Francisco??
If it’s not, what wil be the solution of US Immigration?

Or he should apply for temporary visa or permission?? I am not very clear about it.

Thank u for helping

Singapore airlines or asiana airlines?

Transit travel in Seoul, South Korea?

I will be traveling from San Francisco to Manila via Incheon Airport (Seoul). Im arriving 8PM (Asiana Airlines) and departing the next day 7AM (Cebu Pacific Air). Is it possible to just stay in the airport for the night? How can I claim my checked-in luggage and Boarding pass for my connecting flight to Manila? –Thanks in advance for the help–

Why such variance on cost of additional taxes and fees added to airline ticket prices?

I am flying to Beijing next year. I used a popular site for finding prices. I wonder why a direct NONSTOP flight from San Francisco to Beijing has $300 additional fees, while another one that stops in Los Angeles and Seoul (3 total landings, two different airlines, additional baggage handling efforts) has only $97 taxes and fees. The logic of it escapes me, unless the San Francisco based US Airline has found another way to milk consumers.

Relocation confusion?

I’m being made known of relocation opportunities. I’m in a bit of confusion as to which one to choose considering the current industrial recession, local tax rules, cost of living, work permit for my spouse etc. Here are the choices:

London, Singapore, Washington, New York, Atlanta, Cambridge, San Francisco, Toronto, Seoul, Tokyo, Sydney.

Please help me figure out the factors I should look at before making the apt decision. Thanks a bunch!

What are best companies for marketing- good names, probably corporate so they have the funds to train me well.

I live in the SF Bay Area so the closer the better, but proximity is not my top priority.

Could u plz name the top 5-10 business schools within an hour of the SF bay area? Focus= MBA in Marketing?

I will probably be working in Menlo Park or Berkeley…I would of course LOVE to go to UCBerkeley but I doubt they’ll accept me…will finish w/an overall GPA of 3.0. If I am working for an amazing company for 3 years however, and prove my true potential (I was immature and went thru depression in college) is there any chance to still get into a top program? I prefer to stay in town.
Anyway, if you know the top say 5-10, plz let me know so I can call them individually and ask about their admissions process.
Thanks a bunch!

I am looking for a list of top technical recruiters/staffing companies in the US?

Are there more?

Thanks a lot!

What is the best approach for marketing a business app consulting company online to the local community?

We are a small (husband and wife) consulting company specializing in data mining, development of custom reports, ERP implementation and configuration, and development of custom, web-enabled applications for business process management in the San Francisco Bay Area (focusbizconsulting.com). Keywords for our type of business are very expensive. What is the best way to promote our business to the local community online?

How can the A’s get any younger?

Yesterday in the Contra Costa Times (Bay Area paper), a reporter talked about how the Harden Gaudin trade was a good trade. As I read his section I realized how wrong i thought he was. What do you think?

Do you think gay behavior models that of suicidal lemmings ?

By the late 1980s, AIDS was everywhere. Obituaries flooded gay newspapers such as the Bay Area Reporter, and mainstream news reports dealt with the latest – and often unsuccessful – developments in research and prevention findings. Meanwhile, activist groups such as ACT UP and Queer Nation stormed the streets of cities on both coasts and the White House demanding the government respond quicker, and approve new drugs to fight the epidemic.
“You went into the system you got sicker, sicker, and died, usually after diagnosis. So they didn’t have to plan what they would do with long-term survivors,” said Gary Myerscough, 60, a board member of the National Association on HIV Over 50.
Paul Quin, 64, a lean and sprite man with playful blue eyes and a board member of the National Association on HIV Over 50, agreed with Allgaier that in a way it is somewhat strange to work with someone who learned about AIDS from a textbook when he lived through it and continues to live with the disease.”
Why would anyone want to have a short lifespan by doing something that risky and anti-religious ?

Is it following the lemmings ?
marble dog, ever hear of hepatitis and its related diseases and how they are caused ?
Nicole B, ever hear of rampant bisexuality among African American men ? That’s not because of the women, you know. You still have to get some anal organism disease.

If I was a TV reporter and I said “It was a long time china time”?

When reporting on a harbor in the SF bay area… would that be bad for my career? I am a news anchor and I did that a few minutes ago and people arent talking to me. Im on break now

Did you see this, Tea Party CNN reporter full length video.?

For those of you who saw the “CNN Reporter” and what she portrayed as the Tea Party should see this. I am happy someone (not a reporter) was able to film this which definitely shows a more accurate representation of what the event was really like.
I was at a Tea Party and can safely say the one I was at was very bipartisan, peaceful demonstration, and very much so not extreme.
Mind you I live in the Bay Area and there are not to many “Right Wing Extremists” out here I was standing out there with hippies too… LOL!

Rotorhead– Good idea to send a complaint to CNN so I followed your lead and just wrote them a letter!

Question about local news?

On local news, why do the reporters always say where people are from when they’re reporting the stories?
For example, on news stations in the SF Bay Area, the reporters say stuff like “A Livermore man…” or a “San Francisco man…” or a “San Jose woman…”
This may sound dumb, but why does it matter where the people are from? I’m a little annoyed by it.
