Magnitude 6.6 quake hits eastern Japan

TOKYO,Christian Louboutin Outlet, July 19 (Agencies)-- A strong earthquake with a preliminary 6.6 magnitude struck off Japan's eastern coast Saturday, the country's meteorological agency said. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The 11:39 a.m. quake,Ralph Lauren, which occurred off the coast of Fukushima prefecture about 150 miles northeast of Tokyo,Christian Louboutin Sale, was followed by several aftershocks.

The quake, which struck about six miles below the ocean's surface, shook buildings as far away as Tokyo.

The agency issued a tsunami warning for parts of Japan's eastern coast,oakley, but the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu said there was no broad threat in the Pacific.

However, earthquakes of this magnitude can generate local tsunamis that can be destructive within a 60-mile range,Cheap Christian Louboutin, the tsunami center said.

"There are no reports of damage,lunette oakley, but tsunamis are still a threat and so we have evacuated the beaches. There were a lot of people out because the weather was so nice today,Christian Louboutin Shoes," said Toshihiko Keiokawa,polo Ralph Lauren, a policeman near where the quake hit.

He had no immediate estimate on the number of evacuees.

Surfers were brought in to land in neighboring Miyagi Prefecture,Cheap Louboutins, where there were also no reports of damage or injury, said Norio Watanabe, a local police spokesman.

Japan sits atop four tectonic plates and is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries.

Last month a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck sparsely populated rural areas in northern Japan, killing at least 12 people,Ralph Lauren pas cher, leaving 10 others missing and injuring more than 300.相关的主题文章:

,Christian Louboutin Outlet


US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton gives a speech on the campus of the University of Hawaii,Cheap Christian Louboutin, Nov. 10, 2011

Mike O'Sullivan | Honolulu November 10, 2011 - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that the United States is renewing its focus on the Asia-Pacific region as the world's economic and strategic center shifts eastward. Clinton spoke in Honolulu,lunette oakley, Hawaii before joining trade talks of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, or APEC. The talks will continue through Sunday,Ralph Lauren pas cher, when President Barack Obama is set to host a meeting of Asia-Pacific leaders. The secretary of state outlined her vision for what she called America's Pacific century.

Clinton said that as the war in Iraq winds down and with Afghanistan in transition, the Obama administration is renewing its focus on the Pacific region,Christian Louboutin Shoes, which is home to nearly half of the world's population and some of its fastest-growing economies,oakley, including India and APEC-member China.

“And one of the most important tasks of American statecraft over the next decades will be to lock in a substantially increased investment - diplomatic, economic, strategic and otherwise - in this region," said Clinton.

Clinton said there is new momentum in U.S. trade with the region,Christian Louboutin Sale, following the recent passage of the U.S.-South Korea free trade agreement and with talks underway to create a Trans-Pacific Partnership - a free trade group that would include the United States and at least eight other countries.

She said the United States will continue to work on challenges such as human rights abuses in Burma, where she noted there are stirrings of change,Ralph Lauren, and on human rights and trade concerns with China,Cheap Louboutins, where she said American companies want an even playing field.

“In particular, we are working with China to end unfair discrimination against U.S. and other foreign companies, and we are working to protect innovative technologies [and] remove competition-distorting preferences," she said. "China must allow its currency to appreciate more rapidly and end the measures that disadvantage or pirate foreign intellectual property."

Australia to trade renewables certificates from November

SYDNEY, Oct 6(Reuters) - Australia outlined plans to trade renewable energy certificates from next month and carbon credits from early 2010, two major steps toward implementing the government's climate change agenda.

Market operator ASX Ltd said on Wednesday futures and options contracts in renewable energy certificates (RECs) would start on November 24, with Certified Emission Reduction (CER) contracts to start trading in the first quarter of next year.

In Australia,Christian Louboutin Sale, each REC represents one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated from renewable energy and can be earned by installing solar panels,polo Ralph Lauren, wind turbines and micro-hydro plants.

Trade in RECs aims to help ensure Australia meets its target for 20 percent of power to come from green sources by 2020.

In over-the-counter trade, REC prices have dropped to A$28.50 per certificate,oakley france, the lowest level in more than two years, because the market has been flooded with RECs generated by installers of solar hot water panels and heat pumps.

CERs are credits generated by projects in developing countries that are registered as having led to a reduction in greenhouse gases under the Kyoto climate change treaty,Christian Louboutin Outlet, which is due to be renegotiated at a summit in Copenhagen in December.

The ASX also plans to eventually introduce futures trade in carbon-emission permits,Cheap Louboutins, assuming the government's hotly contested climate-change legislation is enacted.

The legislation,Ralph Lauren pas cher, which aims to cut emissions by between 5 and 25 percent by 2020, has already been defeated once in parliament,Christian Louboutin Shoes, but there are signs the bill might pass on a second attempt soon.

"The listing of these products will help firms in Australia and New Zealand to facilitate carbon trading,oakley, finance and investment,lunette oakley," the ASX said,Cheap Christian Louboutin, noting that the CERs would also be designed to ensure they were tradable in New Zealand as well.

Stocks end higher on hopes for good Intel results

NEW YORK Apr 13 (AP) -- The Dow Jones industrial average extended its push past 11,000 Tuesday after expectations grew that stronger corporate earnings would signal that a recovery is on track.

Stocks fell in early trading after quarterly results from aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. missed expectations. Major indexes later poked higher as traders jockeyed for position ahead of earnings from leading chipmaker Intel Corp.,Ralph Lauren, which reported strong results after the closing bell.

By the close, the Dow had tacked on about 13 points. The Dow on Monday finished above the psychological benchmark of 11,000 for the first time in a year and a half.

The results from Alcoa brought a disappointing start to the flow of earnings reports from the January-March quarter. But analysts said the company's performance didn't provide a good indication of how other companies would do.

Alcoa's loss narrowed from a year earlier but its adjusted earnings and revenue came in below analysts' estimates. Alcoa was the first of the 30 Dow stocks to report results.

The mood could brighten Wednesday following Intel's report. The company said its first-quarter profit nearly quadrupled from a year earlier when it booked a big loss on an investment. The company's earnings and revenue came in ahead of analysts' expectations and brought more evidence that businesses are again spending on technology after a drop during the financial crisis. Intel's shares rose more than 3 percent in electronic trading after hours.

Nasdaq 100 index futures rose 0.4 percent following Intel's report.

Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust in Chicago, said earnings reports are likely to top expectations because few companies have warned their results will miss forecasts.

"If we continue with this pace,Ralph Lauren pas cher, at the end of the second quarter we will be at a new all-time high for earnings for the U.S. economy," he said. "That's a pretty stunning achievement."

The stock market has been rising for 13 months on signs that the economy is improving. But some analysts are concerned that the rise has come too quickly.

Since major stock indexes hit 12-year lows last year, there have been five pullbacks of as much as 8 percent in the Standard & Poor's 500 index. None have topped the 10 percent mark that would signify a correction.

There have been few drops in the past two months. Instead, stocks have been notching a string of steady gains.

"The market has ground higher steadily,lunette oakley," said Adrian Cronje, chief investment officer at the investment firm Balentine in Atlanta. "It's up a little bit every day, a little bit every day. And that tends to lull people into complacency."

The Dow rose 13.45, or 0.1 percent, to 11,019.42,Cheap Christian Louboutin, its highest close since September 2008. The Dow has risen four straight days and is up 10 of the last 13 days.

The S&P 500 index rose 0.82, or 0.1 percent, to 1,197.30, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 8.12, or 0.3 percent, to 2,465.99.

Advancing stocks narrowly outpaced those that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidatd volume came to 5.4 billion shares, compared with 4.6 billion Monday.

Bond prices were mixed. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price,Cheap Louboutins, fell to 3.82 percent from 3.85 percent late Monday.

The dollar slipped against other major currencies. Gold fell.

Oil dropped for a fifth day after Alcoa's results lowered expectations about the pace of a rebound. Light,lunettes oakley, sweet crude fell 33 cents to $84.01 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index, which is known as the market's fear gauge,Christian Louboutin Sale, rose 4 percent a day after closing at its lowest level since July 2007. That means fewer investors are predicting big swings in the market.

Max Bublitz, chief strategist at SCM Advisors in San Francisco, is among the traders who remain cautious because of how high stocks have risen. He said that the drop in the VIX is a sign that too many investors are predicting that the smooth ride higher will continue.

"It is interesting that people have kind of forgotten all the pain and forgotten all the lessons," he said, referring to the stock market's plunge during the recession.

The S&P 500 index has jumped 77 percent since March last year but it would have to climb another 24 percent to reach its peak of 1,565 in October 2007.

Among stocks in the news, Alcoa fell 23 cents to $14.34. Intel rose 23 cents to $22.77 ahead of its report. In after-hours trading, the stock advanced 81 cents, or 3.6 percent,oakley, to $23.58.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 1.97, or 0.3 percent, to 707.03.

Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.3 percent, Germany's DAX index fell 0.3 percent,Christian Louboutin Outlet, and France's CAC-40 fell 0.5 percent. Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 0.8 percent.



Stocks end higher on hopes for good Intel results

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Monday, April 12, 2010. Stock futures are falling Tuesday, April 13,oakley france, after Alcoa Inc. kicked off earnings season by coming up short of analysts' expectations.

Yahoo CEO wants Microsoft to make another buyout offer

<p>LOS ANGELES,Christian Louboutin Outlet, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Yahoo was ready to return to the bargaining table with Microsoft over another buyout offer by the latter,oakley, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang said.

"To this day,polo Ralph Lauren, I believe the best thing for Microsoft to do is to buy Yahoo,Ralph Lauren pas cher," Yang said Wednesday at the Web 2.0 summit in San Francisco.

Yang made the remarks after Internet search giant Google pulled out of an advertising partnership with Yahoo on Wednesday to avoid a "protracted legal battle" with anti-trust regulators.

Yang stressed that he and the rest of Yahoo Inc.'s board "remain open to everything" for a buyout agreement with Microsoft. But Yang said there aren't any talks between the two sides.

Yahoo rejected a 47.5-billion-dollar takeover offer from Microsoft six months ago, a move that irritated Yahoo investors. To pacify the investors, Yahoo had been wooing Google's alliance to boost its sagging profits and stock.

Microsoft said it withdrew its 33-dollar per share bid after Yang demanded 37 dollars,Cheap Christian Louboutin, a price that Yahoo's stock hasn't reached since early 2006.

Yahoo's shares closed Wednesday at 13.92 dollars,Christian Louboutin Shoes, nearly 60 percent below Microsoft's last offer.

Echoing his previous public comments,Ralph Lauren, Yang said he believes a compromise on the sales price could have been reached if Microsoft hadn't ended the talks so abruptly.

"Did we want to do a deal with Microsoft? Yes," Yang said. "Hadwe been able to do that,Christian Louboutin Sale, we would have been very happy but it wasn't meant to be."

Industry analysts believe Microsoft will make another offer to buyout Yahoo within the next few months in a bid to better compete with Google.

Despite its dwindling share value, Yahoo remains the No. 2 search engine and still has a huge audience, making it a choice for Microsoft.


Yahoo,lunette oakley! CEO Jerry Yang declines to speak to a reporter at the 26th annual Allen & Co conference in Sun Valley, Idaho July 10,oakley france, 2008.

G20 leaders agree to fight protectionism, begin plenary sess


Chinese President Hu Jintao (4th L, 1st row), and other leaders attending the Group of 20 summit, and top officials from relevant organizations pose for group photos in London,Ralph Lauren, Britain, April 2, 2009.

Chinese President Hu Jintao (2nd R) talks with British Prime Minister Gorden Brown (R) as they prepare to pose for a family photo during the Group of 20 summit in London,Cheap Christian Louboutin, Britain, April 2, 2009.

United States President Barack Obama (R) arrives at ExCel center and is greeted by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for the summit of the Group of 20 Countries (G20) in London April 2, 2009.


LONDON, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Leaders from the Group of 20 (G-20) have agreed to fight protectionism as they started their first plenary session after a working breakfast here on Thursday to search for a global solution to the global economic and financial crisis.

In a brief opening statement, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown outlined a working plan for the discussion, calling on leaders to finalize the joint communique which covers banking regulations.

Brown said the world leaders attending summit are anxious to reach agreements on major points, including a joint call to resist protectionism, and to strengthen financial regulation.

On Wednesday,lunette oakley, Brown said he was confident that the summit will produce consensus on a global plan for economic recovery and reform. "We are within a few hours, I think, of agreeing a global plan for economic recovery and reform and I think the significance of this is that we are looking at every aspect."

The leaders are expected to have a busy day of intensive talks, which started with Brown hosting a working breakfast, followed by two plenary sessions. A joint communique will be issued at the end of the summit.

The summit started by a breakfast scheduled at 8:30 am local time after the leaders were greeted by British Prime Brown at the entrance of London's exhibition censer, or ExCel London, in eastern London. The breakfast provided an opportunity for the leaders to exchange views in an informal way before their formal talks later in the day.

Security is tight around the venue. Police can be seen at every crossroads within about five kilometers. Journalists have to pass through two security checkpoints to get to the press censer, where about 2200 registered journalists work and many of them stayed for the night.

Outside the Excel, anti-capitalist protesters started their second day of protests. On Wednesday, at least 87 were arrested and one protester died, London's police said.

Brown,Christian Louboutin Sale, the host, who made a global trip and met the leaders to prepare for the summit, said he was confident that the summit will produce consensus on a global plan for economic recovery and reform.

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso expressed his belief Thursday that a consensus will be reached on the economic stimulus and regulation.

"There is a real willingness to have convergence at the end of this summit and so I really believe that at the end we'll have a consensus around the two points that sometimes appear as differences: the stimulus of the economy and regulation,oakley france," he told reporters.

South African President Kgalema Motlanthe urged extra help for developing economies at the summit.

"We are here to put across the position of the developing world, particularly with regards to the need to protect jobs because it's the impact on the real economy which affects ordinary working people ... if we're to find an everlasting solution we must develop a response that is inclusive of working people," he told BBC.

Expectations are high that the leaders of the world's largest economies would be committed to a coordinated response to the economic crisis, an overhaul of the global financial architecture and restraint from protectionism.

Attending the meeting are leaders from Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, Indonesia,Ralph Lauren pas cher, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, South Africa, South Korea, Russia, Turkey, the United States and the European Union (EU).

Top officials from the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund(IMF), New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are also joining the gathering.

The leaders will be aiming to enhance coordination of a global fiscal stimulus,lunettes oakley, reach a consensus on increasing loans to the IMF,and reaffirm commitment to anti-protectionism to help restore global sustainable economic growth and stabilize the financial market.

But the outcome of the summit, however, rests with participants' ability to bridge their differences on economic stimulus plans and reforming the global financial system.

While the White House has pushed for more fiscal measures to help the economy, major European countries,polo Ralph Lauren, notably Germany and France, remain sceptical about this and they mainly focus on tightening financial regulation and reforming the world financial system to prevent such a crisis in future.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly has threatened to walk out of the London summit if his demand for stronger financialregulation were not met.

Speaking in an interview with French radio Europe 1 on Wednesday, Sarkozy reiterated that he wouldn't want to "associate" himself with a G20 that would be concluded by "false compromises."

He said neither France nor Germany is satisfied with the current draft of the G20 statement, which he said should go even further on tightening financial regulations.

"Regulation is at the heart of the debate," Sarkozy said.

Major developing countries also support reforming the world financial system, but they insist that should have a bigger say in multilateral financial discussion and relevant policy-making process. The fact that the G20 has usurped the G8 as the main forum for discussing the crisis already illustrates a shift in the economic and diplomatic landscape with the emergence of India,Christian Louboutin Shoes, Brazil and, particularly, China as major players.

On Wednesday, leaders of major countries called for closer cooperation in dealing with the financial crisis.

Chinese President Hu Jintao said at a meeting with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev Wednesday that China and Russia should strengthen cooperation to jointly overcome the current difficulties under the complicated and grave conditions of the world economy.

The two countries need to strengthen communication and consultation, coordinate their stands within the G20 framework in particular, and push forward reforms of the international financial system, Hu said.

U.S. and British leaders voiced optimism that the G20 summit will reach consensus on concerted efforts to deal with major issues.

"I am absolutely confident that this meeting will reflect enormous consensus about the need to work in concert to deal with these problems," said U.S. President Barack Obama after talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Wednesday.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Sarkozy Wednesday called for concrete actions at the Group of 20 (G20),Christian Louboutin Outlet, warning that those who do not abide by the G20 commitments must be singled out.

Speaking at a joint press conference following their meeting in London one day ahead of the summit, Sarkozy said bank loans need to be traceable, funds needs to be registered and checked, adding that the aim of agreeing on new regulations for the financial sector is "non-negotiable."

The two leaders demanded that a new regulation of the international financial system be set up. "Without a new regulation, there will be no trust. And without trust, there will be no recovery. It is a major objective, non-negotiable," said Sarkozy.

Merkel said that "more regulation is necessary" for the world to get out of the crisis.

India swears to bring Gandhi items home


India Thursday swore to bring the items of its national icon Mahatma Gandhi back home no matter what the price,Christian Louboutin Sale, as the items are bound to be sold in a New York auction house in a few hours' time.


NEW DEIHI,oakley france, March 5 (Xinhua) -- India Thursday swore to bring the items of its national icon Mahatma Gandhi back home no matter what the price,Cheap Louboutins, as the items are bound to be sold in a New York auction house in a few hours' time.

In a stern statement, Indian Minister of Tourism and Culture Ambika Soni said the commercialization of Gandhi's items is absolutely unacceptable to India as such act is against the ideals and principles of the Father of the Indian Nation.

She expressed her confidence that the items will be brought back to India at last and that India will trace the whereabouts of these items to the end.

Minister of state for external affairs Anand Sharma also appealed to United States collector James Otis to withdraw from selling the Gandhi relics,lunette oakley, including a Zenith pocket watch,Christian Louboutin Shoes, steel-rimmed spectacles,Ralph Lauren, a pair of sandals and an eating bowl and plate.

The auction is due to take place in New York's auction house,lunettes oakley, Antiquorum Auctioneers, with a reserve price of between 20,000 and 30,000 U.S. dollars.

"We have made it clear that Gandhi's artifacts are our national heritage and therefore our shared heritage. We are duty bound to protect it,Cheap Christian Louboutin," said Sharma. "It goes against the philosophy to have the auction of his memorabilia in this way,Ralph Lauren pas cher, especially for a man who did not believe in wealth and materialism."

In a response to demand to stop the auction by India's Consul General In New York,Christian Louboutin Outlet, Otis said he would withdraw the Gandhi items from the auction if India agrees "either to substantially increase the amount spent on healthcare for the poor or to support educational events to promote Gandhian non-violent resistance in 78 countries," "one each for the number of years Gandhi graced us with his life on the planet" in reference to the age of Gandhi.

India has offered to buy the items from Otis if the latter refuses to donate them to India. a group of overseas Indians engaged in real estate business plans to bid for the items on behalf of the Indian government. The consulate in New York is also said to be contacting a New York court with a Delhi High Court order ordering a stop of the auction.

希腊古剧场对高跟鞋说“不”

Greece wants to discourage women from wearing stiletto heels at summer performances held in key archaeological sites because of damage to the monuments,Christian Louboutin Outlet, a senior culture ministry official said Thursday.

"Female visitors must wear shoes that do not wound the monuments,oakley france," Eleni Korka,Cheap Christian Louboutin, director of Greek prehistoric and classical antiquities,lunettes oakley, told AFP.

"There is great pressure on the ministry to grant the use of archaeological sites from April to October but this is a schedule which the sites cannot bear,Ralph Lauren pas cher, there must be a limit," she said.

Greek archaeologists are concerned that key sites such as the Roman-era Odeon of Herod Atticus in Athens and the Classical-era Epidaurus Theatre in the Peloponnese are showing the strain of continuous use,Ralph Lauren, both in terms of wear caused by show equipment and the passage of thousands of spectators.

In 2006,lunette oakley, the ministry stopped performances in August at the Odeon,polo Ralph Lauren, saying the site had seen "excessive use" and was in need of maintenance.

Obama expands his lead over Hillary



Sunday,Christian Louboutin Shoes, March 16,polo Ralph Lauren, 2008 (Washington)

Democratic presidential frontrunner Barack Obama has expanded his thin lead over rival Hillary Clinton,Christian Louboutin Outlet, garnering seven delegates in Iowa as the close and acrimonious contest marred by a string of race rows chugged ahead claiming more victims.

Every single one counts and that's why we've been here organising,oakley france, said Teresa Vilmain of Clinton campaign.

Martyn Williams | Tokyo March 15,louboutin, 2011 - Tokyo's stock market dropped sharply on Tuesday,Michael Kors Handbags, fueled by fears about the worsening conditions at a nuclear power plant north of Tokyo and electricity supply problems.

The benchmark Nikkei index of major stocks registered its third largest fall ever, dropping more than 10 percent. Trading volume on the Tokyo market's first section was a little under six billion shares,chaussure louboutin, hitting a record high for the second straight day.

The selling was across all industries, but electricity and gas companies led the way. Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of the nuclear plants, fell by the maximum allowable amount in a flood of sell orders.

Major manufacturing companies also saw losses. Investors are worried about the damage incurred by Friday's earthquake and tsunami and problems caused by continuing power rationing.

Toyota has halted all domestic assembly lines until at Wednesday; Sony has shut down six plants, including one that was flooded by Friday's tsunami; and,Ralph Lauren, Toshiba says it is uncertain when a chip plant in northern Japan will reopen.

"We have to check all the lines and facility itself, and of course we have some supply shortage,louboutin pas cher," Yonekawa said.

Planned rolling electricity blackouts, which began on Monday and could continue for more than a month, are to help cope with a 27 percent drop in generation capacity as the result of nuclear power stations being offline. They will be extended to areas of northern Japan,Cheap Michael Kors, Wednesday.

Disruption to fuel supplies are bringing further problems for companies. Queues grew outside central Tokyo gas stations on Tuesday and some were closed because delivery trucks had not arrived.

China's manned spacecraft Shenzhou-7 blasts off


The Long-March II-F carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou-7 spaceship blasts off from the launch pad at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China's Gansu Province, on 21:10 p.m., Sept. 25,Cheap Michael Kors, 2008.



JIUQUAN,hristian louboutin chaussures, Gansu, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- China launched its third manned spacecraft on Thursday with three astronauts on board to attempt the country's first-ever space walk.

The spaceship Shenzhou-7 blasted off on a Long March II-F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province at 9:10 p.m. after a breathtaking countdown to another milestone on China's space journey.

Onboard pilots Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng are expected to orbit the earth for three days,Michael Kors Handbags, when one of them will float out of the cabin about 343 kilometers above the earth.

When they make it, China will become the third country in the world who is able to conduct extravehicular activity (EVA) in space following the former Soviet Union and the United States.

President Hu Jintao watched the historic moment at the launch center, joined by Chinese experts and other work staff.

Hu briefly met the trio taikonauts before they entered the spacecraft Thursday afternoon,michael kors outlet, wishing them "a complete success in this glorious and sacred mission".

"During the mission, you will carry out China's EVA with homemade EVA space suit, which is a great leap for China's space technology," said Hu.

Two taikonauts would enter the orbital module, where one would put on domestically-made spacesuit Feitian and leave the module to take back test samples loaded outside, said Zhou Jianping,chaussure louboutin, chief designer of the country's manned space project.

The other would wear a Russian Orlan suit and stay in the depressurized cabin for support, said Zhou.

"We wish we could fly freely in space just like Feitian on the ancient Buddhist murals,Ralph Lauren pas cher, so we gave this name to the homemade spacesuit,louboutin pas cher," said Zhou.

Feitian,louboutin, which literally means flying in the sky, is the name of a legendary Buddhist goddess.

Other tasks of the Shenzhou-7 crew include the release of a small monitoring satellite and a trial of the data relay of the satellite Tianlian-I.

If successful,Ralph Lauren, the mission would be of great significance to the country's future plans to build a space lab and a space station, said Zhang Jianqi,polo Ralph Lauren, deputy chief commander of the manned space project.

"China pursues the principle of making peaceful use of space in its exploration and development," Zhang told Xinhua, saying the country was willing to carry out various forms of international cooperation in space exploration.

The taikonauts, all 42 years old, are scheduled to land in the central region of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in a re-entry module after their mission is completed.

"China would like to work with Russia to boost the sound and fast growth of bilateral relationship,polo Ralph Lauren," Hu said.

On legislative front, Hu called for the legislative bodies of China and Russia to play out their advantages and contribute to the overall bilateral relationship.

The talks were part of the fourth meeting of the cooperative committee between China's NPC and the Russian State Duma, an exchange mechanism established in June 2005.

Wu and Gryzlov spoke highly of the exchange mechanism between the two legislative bodies,louboutin pas cher, saying it provided an important platform for the two countries to deepen strategic coordination,louboutin, promote legislative exchanges and boost substantive cooperation.

To inject a momentum to the mechanism,hristian louboutin chaussures, Wu proposed the two sides stick to the primary goal of deepening strategic trust, support each other on issues concerning their core interests and work together on major international and regional issues.

Wu and Gryzlov agreed to boost substantive cooperation,Ralph Lauren, particularly those in big projects, economy and trade and region-to-region cooperation.

Activists, Olympic Athletes Pressure China


<p>More than 200 Olympic athletes from around the world have also joined efforts to end violence in Darfur. Canadian swimmer Nikki Dryden said China's support of the Sudanese government is at odds with the spirit of the games. "We are very concerned about the image of the Olympics being sullied by a host nation that can and should be doing more to end the genocide in Darfur. China's role as the host of the Olympics and as close partner to Khartoum is inconsistent, even hypocritical,Ralph Lauren," he said.

In an open letter to the Chinese government, Olympic athletes, Nobel laureates and celebrities,louboutin pas cher, including U.S. actress Mia Farrow,michael kors outlet, said Beijing "has both the opportunity and the responsibility to contribute to a just peace in Darfur.



Farrow told several dozen protesters that China could use its influence by demanding Khartoum disarm the Janjaweed and by halting weapons sales to Sudan.



But,polo Ralph Lauren, the Chinese say the protests, and attempts to link the Olympics with Darfur, violate the spirit of the games. China also says it was the first country to contribute troops to a fledgling U.N. peacekeeping force for Darfur.


Activists and Olympic athletes gathered in front of the Chinese mission to the United Nations Tuesday to urge Beijing to use its leverage with Sudan to help end ongoing violence in Darfur region. From VOA's New York Bureau, Victoria Cavaliere reports the rally's organizers say China,louboutin, the host of the 2008 Olympics,Michael Kors Handbags, is failing to uphold the game's principles because of its support of the Sudanese government.


Critics say China has repeatedly used its veto power in the U.N. Security Council to prevent tough punitive measures against Sudan.

"How can Beijing host the Olympics at home and underwrite genocide in Darfur? China still has the chance to spare its games the humiliation as being remembered as the genocide Olympics. We are all calling upon China to use its unique point of leverage to bring about an end to the human catastrophe in Darfur,Ralph Lauren pas cher," she said.

Some two million people have fled their homes in Darfur and another 200,Cheap Michael Kors,000 have died since the conflict between ethnic rebels and the pro-government Janjaweed militia broke out in 2003.

Protesters outside the Chinese Mission said they are not calling for a boycott of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Instead,chaussure louboutin, they want the international community to use the games to pressure China to do more to end the conflict in Darfur.

China is Sudan's biggest foreign trading partner, importing nearly two-thirds of that country's oil. Beijing's economic partnership with Khartoum,hristian louboutin chaussures, which also includes arms sales, has drawn criticism from western governments and human rights groups.

Goldman selling up to $1.54 billion in China ICBC stake

HONG KONG, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) is selling up to $1.54 billion worth of Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. (1398.HK) stock, the Wall Street firm's third sell-down of the world's largest bank by value.

Sharp declines in the value of such investments caused Goldman to post its second quarterly loss as a public company less than a month ago. The bank booked a $1.05 billion paper loss on its ICBC (601398.SS) stake alone.

Foreign banks selling shares in China's banks is a sensitive issue in Beijing, which has not taken the sales lightly since they began in 2009.

Bank of America (BAC.N), RBS (RBS.L) and UBS (UBS.N) are among the foreign banks that have sold large stakes in Chinese banks over the past few years. Such sales have been an attractive way to raise capital or reduce earnings volatility.

Goldman made a point to express its commitment to ICBC last year when it was first authorized to sell the shares. Goldman had agreed to hold onto the position for a set amount of time when acquiring the ICBC stake in 2006.

Goldman's latest sell down came with ICBC's support, and the New York bank told the Chinese lender the transaction was coming,Ralph Lauren pas cher, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Sources familiar with matter told Reuters on Wednesday that Goldman was selling 2.4 billion shares, or 2.8 percent of ICBC's Hong Kong listed stock. ICBC, officially known as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd,Michael Kors Handbags, is one of China's Big Four state-backed banks. All four banks were technically insolvent roughly five years ago, crippled by bad loans built up over many years.

Goldman invested in ICBC before its 2006 dual listing in Hong Kong and Shanghai. China's Big Four are now among the largest banks in the world by market value.

IFR, a Thomson Reuters publication, was first to report the sale, which comes at a time when ICBC shares have recovered about 50 percent from October lows.

A source said Goldman was executing the sale to reduce its market exposure to the stake. The Wall Street bank notified the Chinese bank about the impending sale,louboutin pas cher, another source said.

"It's likely a reflection of Goldman's own desire to book some profit and hedge their risk rather than a negative view on Chinese banks," said Warren Blight, lead analyst for Chinese bank research at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods in Hong Kong.

CAPITAL BOOST

The sale also comes at a time when several European and U.S. banks are under pressure to raise capital. In August,Cheap Michael Kors, Bank of America sold a $8.3 billion stake in China Construction Bank (601939.SS) and a Wall Street Journal report this week said BofA was considering cutting the stake further.

Goldman first bought 4.9 percent of ICBC for about $2.6 billion before the 2006 IPO, which was then the world's biggest public offering. Goldman has raised a total of $5.9 billion through its three sell-downs and its stake, still worth around $5 billion after the sell down,louboutin, is worth twice the original investment.

Yet as equity markets have swung wildly in recent years, Goldman's ICBC stake has led to big paper gains and losses that add volatility to its quarterly earnings.

So far this year, Goldman has lost $905 million on the ICBC investment,hristian louboutin chaussures, including a $316 million gain in the first quarter, followed by two much-larger losses. In 2010, the bank earned $747 million on the stake.

Goldman is offering the shares in a range of HK$4.88-5.00 each,chaussure louboutin, a discount of between 3.7 and 6 percent to the last traded price, a term sheet seen by IFR showed.

ICBC President Yang Kaisheng said that he respects Goldman Sachs decision to sell the stake.

"Goldman Sachs have told us that they still recognize the investment value of ICBC (shares)," Yang said.

Goldman Sachs is the sole book runner for the deal. The bank declined to comment on the transaction.

Wang Meng defends Olympic title

Wang Meng defends Olympic title,polo Ralph Lauren

2010-02-18 Tony: For a little analysis on the day's competition, I'm joined by my colleague Jonas Gilbart.

Wang Meng has put her stamp on the women's 500m short track event.

Jonas: No doubt, it became very apparent today that Wang Meng owns this event. Watching this race,Michael Kors Handbags, was almost like watching Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps,michael kors outlet, she was that dominant.

With the win,chaussure louboutin, she jumps onto the short list of China's best all-time women speed skaters.

With a blistering start to the race, Wang jumped into the lead and never looked back.

Her power and technique,Ralph Lauren, impeccable.

The biggest difference between Wang and the rest of the field is the way she is able to carry her speed into the corners and maintain it. In short track speed skating that is absolutely crucial to success.

She simply, does it better than anyone else in the world at this distance.

Tony: In the story we just saw on Wang Meng, it showed the problems she had in the past between herself and her coach, Li Yan. But it looks like, today, all has been forgiven.

Jonas: Water under the bridge for sure.

After the race, Wang thanked her coach in a traditional Chinese way, by getting on her knees and bowing to her. She then leaped into the arms Li and made a point of thanking her in the post race interview.

The scary thing is, at only 24 years of age,Ralph Lauren pas cher, Wang could potentially have two more Olympics ahead of her.

With the issues between the two now in the past,Cheap Michael Kors, there is no reason Wang should not maintain her place at the top of the world for the foreseeable future.

Tony: Switching gears to curling now, the Chinese men put in quite the performance today...beating Denmark 8-1. But heading into the Olympics, we talked a lot about the women after their success at the World Championships.

But it looks like the men's team may make some noise.

Jonas: It looks that way,louboutin pas cher, although Denmark isn't the strongest of rinks at this year's Olympics...an 8-1 win in 7 seven ends is nothing to scoff at.

Tony: So why has China all of a sudden become a force in curling?

Jonas; Well, curling requires certain skills to have...but they can be picked up quickly. Mastering those skills however, is the tough part and that only comes from repetition and practice.

To be able to have the touch needed for proper draw weights and to know how much ice to take is something you can only get from doing it.

In this aspect, China may have an advantage over many of the other rinks in Vancouver.

Since China's curlers are in the national sport system, this is their job...they dedicate themselves to curling every day.

However,hristian louboutin chaussures, with the exception of say, Kevin Martin's rink from Canada, where the sport can be fairly lucrative,louboutin, most other curlers have day jobs and curl in their free time.

The biggest thing that China will have to understand is curling strategy, what to do in certain situations.

That will come in time as they compete in more and more competitions. And once that comes around, the sky is the limit.相关的主题文章:
