US finds benefits in weakness of dollar
International Herald Tribune – May 13, 2007
jobs and help the United States bounce back from its slowest economic growth in four years. When the trade deficit shrinks, said Chris Varvares, president of Macroeconomic Advisers, an economic research firm in St. Louis, “home-grown demand is being fed by home-grown production instead of foreign production. That requires more domestic employment and that's better for the domestic economy. ” Faster growth in Europe and Asia is helping cushion the blow of a collapsing housing boom, which has slowed domestic consumer spending, creating more demand from elsewhere for goods and services made in the United States.

Indian Sun could set tone for future of newspapers
Guardian Unlimited – May 13, 2007
Despite India’s appeal, establishing a foothold in the country may have remained little more than an aspiration until recently, when the government decided to relax strict laws on foreign ownership of media assets. Overseas firms can now own 26 per cent of an Indian media company, and will be hoping those rules are eased still further. O’Reilly has proved particularly skilful at schmoozing politicians in Australia and South Africa, taking minority positions in home-grown groups and slowly exerting greater control.

BBC News – May 13, 2007
The awards ceremony will be held at Pitlochry Festival Theatre on 10 June. Black Watch, which won critical acclaim at last year’s Edinburgh Festival, examines the morality of the war in Iraq and traces the history of the famous Scottish regiment. It was one of 60 new home-grown productions which appeared in Scotland’s theatres last year. CATS convener Robert Dawson Scott said the awards shortlist underlined the quality of work being produced and staged in Scotland, with the National Theatre of Scotland, the major producing theatres and touring companies all represented across the 10 award categories.

While Black Watch played to packed houses at last year’s Edinburgh Festival, Spend a Penny was performed to audiences of only one at a time in the toilets of Glasgow’s Arches nightclub.
Fort Dix 6: “good boys” or terrorists?
Seattle Times – May 13, 2007
“These were young people who came to this country but who developed an empathy toward the ideology of al-Qaida,” said Chief Inspector Joseph E. O’Connor, head of the Philadelphia Police Department’s counterterrorism bureau. O’Connor’s assessment was based on information gathered during a 16-month investigation into what New Jersey authorities described as a home-grown radical Islamist plot. The assessment is at odds with many of the descriptions provided by friends, neighbors and fellow workers of the six terrorism suspects. “They were just regular boys flirting with girls,” said Hydee Rentas, 23, of Pennsauken, N. , recounting her experience growing up with two of the suspects, the brothers Shain and Eljvir Duka, who at one time worked in a pizzeria in her neighborhood.
