In the unfolding financial story of the year - the bursting of the global economy's credit bubble - "the biggest problem is we don't know what we don't know," says Khiem Do, head of Asian Multi Asset investing at Barings Asset Management in Hong Kong...
...cash into the credit markets to make sure they didn't seize up entirely. (The Bank of Japan and the eurozone's European Central Bank both pumped in additional funds on Monday.)

To those in the know, like veteran road-trip author Michael Wallis, AMERICAN OWNED is a subtle...
...bend in the American road trip. Shilo Inns Suites Hotels, a large chain that has long supported veterans' causes, advertises itself as American owned but considers the phrase an expression of appreciation, not exclusion. When Shilo granted the hotels' first franchise in 2001, it went to an Asian-American family named--you guessed it--Patel...
