Tech firms take great leap forward They buy into China’s infant…
San Francisco Chronicle – Aug 12, 2005
“First movers have the best advantage at creating enormous amounts of value. Add to that the Chinese propensity for home-grown enterprises, and you’ve got a mini-gold rush as U. Internet firms vie for Chinese partners to help them penetrate beyond the Great Wall. Peter Sealey, an adjunct professor of marketing at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, was chief marketing officer for the Coca-Cola Corp. in 1979 when it entered China.

He must target violence-prone extremists, without antagonizing mainstream Muslims, whose cooperation he needs. And to prevent the breeding of young home-grown terrorists, Blair will have to work hard at better integrating Muslims so they support what he calls British values. Yet the reflex reaction of the non-Muslim public might be to push Muslims aside. It’s not just Blair who’s walking a thin line. Germany’s interior minister suggests indefinite preventive detention of suspected terrorists, even without the evidence to bring them to court.

PGA Championship: Round 1 concludes in 6-way tie for lead
Seattle Times – Aug 12, 2005
Round 1 at sweltering Baltusrol Golf Club might otherwise be summed up as typical of a PGA, which always seems to produce eclectic leaderboards. Where it all shakily stands:Phil Mickelson, trying to recoup his 2004 Masters form, birdied his last hole and leads a six-player cavalcade at three-under-par 67 on the Lower Course. Mickelson is joined in the lead by — deep breath — Trevor Immelman of South Africa, Stephen Ames of Trinidad and Tobago, Stuart Appleby of Australia, and a couple of home-grown blokes, Rory Sabbatini and Ben Curtis. Is this the week Mickelson adds a bookend to his one major?”It’s a little premature to answer that question,” Mickelson said. “I don’t like to look that far ahead. There’s a lot of work to be done. There are 11 players bunched at two-under 68, including past major winners Steve Elkington, Bernhard Langer, Davis Love III, and Retief Goosen.
