Let's face it. The obsession that the industry, especially cable channels, have to stories about missing, pretty white girls has gotten a little ridiculous.

Perhaps this is a moment for editors to take a moment and say, hey, wait, are we really doing the right thing here?

So many of the consumer electronics we buy from China are simply assembled there from parts made in other Asian countries. In yuan terms, that would make the parts they buy cheaper. So it wouldn't have much effect.

Minorities have to remain vigilant that Abercrombie is doing what it promised to do. Not only should minorities apply to Abercrombie, we need to monitor if Abercrombie is treating Asian Americans and other minorities fairly in the hiring process and when they are working.

Given the domestic demand-led recovery, I would expect Japan to increase imports from China and other Asian economies this year, in a move to share the role with the United States as a major driving force in the world economy.

Frank has been a leading force in building our International businesses since joining the launch team in Europe 18 years ago when we set up our International operations. In Europe, he drove the creation of a pan-regional advertising market, enabling MTV Networks Europe to consistently exceed business plan. Since he moved to Singapore to create MTV Networks Asia Pacific in 1994, he has launched 20 MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon channels and has forged important partnerships for the company across the Asia-Pacific region. With his creativity, passion and vision in driving our Asian expansion strategies, he has built a vibrant Asian business that will be a growth engine for MTV Networks for years to come. Frank has been a trusted, invaluable colleague and friend through the years, and I wish him and his family much happiness and success in Australia.

Further, while we are hopeful that, in aggregate, we are seeing a bottoming in activity levels, there is no convincing evidence that our North American markets will rebound meaningfully before year-end.

I don't want her to feel like she's missed out on a piece of her culture. I just want her to be who she is, not push it or hinder it. And we're a part of her family now, so in a way she's adopted us and we're part of the Asian culture too.

High poultry inventories depressed retail poultry prices and contributed to declines in pork pricing in the US, although US pork industry volumes increased over last year.

Keating understood the power of tradition yet he loved to break the rules and create a new orthodoxy. That's what he did as treasurer saying, in effect, that Labor runs a market model with equity, and it worked. When he became PM, he tried to construct a new set of Labor beliefs based on Asian engagement, reconciliation and the republic. For Keating, these weren't just policies; they were the new Labor template handed down from the mount. The trouble, of course, was his inability to convert a lot of the public.

I think what's very disturbing about the present crisis is that there are a number of things going on at the same time, all of which aren't very good.

It has been an exciting year (2005) for me, and now, I am looking forward to doing well in the Asian Championships, the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games. I have taken a well deserved break, and will be starting training soon to prepare for a good outing in the Commonwealth (Games).

I think they have some very difficult challenges over the next three years.

But the Asian brands and European brands aren't sitting still either.

I think the rise of Asian models is an absolutely beautiful thing.

I think the retail sector is a great sector to buy because they don't have any of these Asian flu syndrome.

Japan's leaders should stop doing things that hurt the feelings of the people of China and numerous Asian countries,

Our imports increase as long as the economy grows. But there's certainly a concern that our exports are down despite the fact that Asian and European economies have begun to rebound. Maintaining the high deficit is dangerous because that means a huge debt, and if our creditors lose confidence in the U.S. economy and begin selling dollars, which drives down the value of the currency, that could spark a serious inflation threat.

Our claim is a rightful one. The South Asian region has four of the 10 Test-playing nations and a large part of the money earned from cricket comes from here, so there is good reason that every third World Cup be held here. Our proposal is not about India alone. To see matches being held in more countries would mean more crowd participation.

Over the past decade, global and Asian investors have become more aware of the impact of environmental, social, and governance variables on their investments.
