China's women's wear industry is anticipating an improved export climate for 2010, despite several challenges that continue to beset suppliers. In fact, the majority of businesses are expecting at least 10 percent growth.

This comes even as exports in the first nine months of 2009 were down 4 percent by volume at 5.8 billion pieces and 6 percent by value at $26 billion.

To reach projected targets, however, measures aimed at cutting expenses and maximizing cash flow remain in place. These include streamlining operations and manpower, and keeping some production lines open to domestic sales.

Remarks of President Barack Obama As Prepared for Delivery
Weekly Address
February 6, 2010

Even though our economy is growing again, these are still tough times for America.  Too many businesses are still shuttered.  Too many cartier replica watches  families can’t make ends meet .  And while yesterday, we learned that the unemployment rate has dropped below ten percent for the first time since summer, it is still unacceptably high – and too many Americans still can’t find work.

VANCOUVER, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) has broken the stereotype that an Olympic Games has to move to a different continent as Asian countries Singapore and China are to host the YOG consecutively.

Nanjing of China won the hosting right for the second YOG on Wednesday at the 122nd IOC session in Vancouver, beating the only other candidate city Poznan of Poland with a narrow margin 47-42.

As a conventional rule, two Olympics are usually not to be held on the same continent one after another, such as the Olympics moved from European country Greece to China in 2008.

"Now it's a fact we will have two Asian cities. It demonstrates that the Olympic spirit has moved past the borders of Europe," said Gilbert Feilli, IOC executive director for the Olympic Games.

Swiss Feilli also showed expectation for the Nanjing YOG, he said: "We expect high quality. There is very strong support from local authorities."

As Beijing held the Olympics successfully in 2008, Feilli believed the Olympics and the YOG didn't not have the same standard.

"(If compare the two Games in China), I could be short and say 'The same success'."

"We presume that we will not have the same impact at the Youth Games as we had at the Olympic Games."

"The audience and the functions are not quite the same as for the Beijing Games. We want the emphasis to be on education, sports and cultural exchange," said Zhu Shanlu, director of the Nanjing Bidding Committee.

Singapore will host the first Youth Games on August 14-26, 2010, while the first Winter Youth Olympics is scheduled for 2012 in Innsbruck, Austria.

A BBC reporter in Concepcion says police are now posted on street corners in the city centre, but says that aid convoys are yet to reach the needy .

Psychologists  from Leeds University found what they said was "striking" evidence that some avid  net users develop compulsive  internet habits in which they replace real-life social interaction  with online chat rooms and social networking sites.
