The turnover of stock exchanges in the Asia-Pacific region outstripped their counterparts in Europe, as the stock markets  recover from the credit crisis, as disclosed by the financial website P5w.net, citing foreign media.

The China Daily reports that, "the turnover of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzen Stock Exchange of China's A share market had recently exceeded that of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, making Cina the second-largest stock market next to the U.S., the report said."

Exports from China jumped by 46 percent in February compared with a year ago, increasing hopes of a strong recovery in global trade.

According to the BBC News, "the increase was higher than analysts' expectations of a rise between 35% and 40%. It is likely to increase pressure on the Chinese government to raise the value of the yuan, which the US in particular complains is undervalued."

White House Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel has become a legendary figure for verbally assaulting colleagues, fiends and foes. He's so obsessive about launching angry tirades against his targetted victims that he allegedly accosted disgraced Rep. Eric Massa (D.-N.Y.) while both men were in the buff in the shower room. If Mr. Emanuel acted this way towards women, he would have been confronted with a long string of restraining orders filed against him for stalking.

The Bill White for Governor of Texas campaign team has just announced that the former Houston mayor and Democratic nominee for the gubernatorial race had no "intention" of saying "golly," when he said the word "boy" during an interview with a Houston Chronicle reporter.

In an e-mail sent to R.G. Ratcliff of the Houston Chronicle and the Dallas Blog, Katy Bacon, stated, "he could have subbed those example phrases only to illustrate the part of speech I was trying to explain." Ms. Bacon wanted clarify that she never used the word "intended," which is an accurate statement on her part.

The tripartite leaders of the most visible anti-semitic, black power segregationist grassroots movement in the United States of America will soon hold a convention for their comrades-in-arms at the Safari Marketplace in Chicago.

Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan, (Jesuit-educated) Fr. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Catholic Church, and the Rev. Jeremiah L. Wright will be honored and the featured guest speakers. One wonders if they entered a competition to see who can make the most racially-charged, emotional and enflammatory speech. Yo can attend the event to see who wins.

Former Mayor Bill White of Houston certainly can't be described as the most eloquent politician in Texas. He's no John F. Kennedy on the campaign trail while he runs as the Democratic nominee for the governor's seat of Texas. He speaks in a folksy-manner to reporters and loves to use the word "boy." Apparently, the Dallas Blog took note of his euphemism and suggested he may have used the word when referring to R.G. Ratcliff, the Houston Chronicle reporter.

Nonetheless, Mr. Ratcliff explained to the Dallas Blog after the article was posted that the word was taken out of context, and it was duly noted in an updated version of the article. Yet, Katy Bacon on the Bill White for Governor campaign team sent an e-mail to the Dallas Blog after the article was revised. She insisted that Mr. White intended to say, "golly," instead of the word "boy," when talking to "RG."
