...already troubled economy. Fully one-third of automotive industry suppliers were deemed at risk of bankruptcy, according to a study earlier this year by Grant Thornton, a Southfield, Michigan, consulting firm. If General Motors files for bankruptcy, it will further impede its ability to pay its suppliers in full, on time. Many suppliers are already saddled with debt. So the extra burden will likely obliterate suppliers' operating budgets - and, in turn, cripple their ability to deliver goods to surviving automakers...
...Established in April 2007, the One Foundation is Li's contribution toward that balance, and for its sake he has taken time out from films, becoming a full-time relief worker and traveling tirelessly on foundation business. This month he is set to appear at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in Hong Kong. "Philanthropy is my passion and my life now," he says. "I wake up and eat and I'm thinking about it.

...fight may not be over. The law's author argues it would go into effect 30 days after being passed by the local parliament - with or without the governor's signature. (Indonesia's books are full of laws passed by local parliaments that local governments simply don't enforce.) "We have the power to make the laws and we need one to protect healthy people as much as we do the rights of those infected," says Manansang, who has only come across one case of "aggressive" behavior in HIV patients over the course of his 14 years working...
