...Australia's central bank, inflation and asset bubbles in an environment of easy money evidently now trump worries of a second-dip recession. Its October and November decisions, which raised interest rates from 3% to 3.5%, are meant to keep inflation between 2% to 3% in 2010. The country's consumer price index as of September actually rose just 1.3%, but the fear is that the resurgent economy and government's $38 billion in cash handouts and infrastructure spending will push inflation above...
...Maclaren's response hasn't been sterling. Yet over the long term, the company could recover. "I don't feel threatened by the stroller," says Greg Allen, a father of two who writes Daddy Types and who plans to keep using his Maclaren. And before saying how "really pissed off" she was about the recall, the author of Mother Load wrote, "I'm not ready to break up with you, Maclaren." The question is how many Maclaren parents will forgive and forget...
...finding it easier to make campaign promises than to keep them. Less than two months after taking over, Hatoyama's administration is being forced into a difficult balancing act between the need to prevent a double-dip recession and the desire to keep Japan's budget deficit from spinning out of control.

Yet, despite Hatoyama's instructions to keep next year's spending no higher than this year's initial budget of $970 billion...
...delaying or reducing these programs to hold down the deficit, and by repeatedly setting budget and spending targets that he is unable to keep, Hatoyama runs the risk of making it look as if he is being dragged along by events rather than taking charge of a difficult situation. He claims that this apparent waffling will not hurt the DPJ's popularity, saying recently that "the public is flexible about the [DPJ's] policy manifesto." Certainly it seems to have done no harm so far. In mid-October, the government's approval rating remained very high...
...keep the cans filled, large Philippine boats have gone further and further afield - to Papua New Guinea, to the Solomon Islands - where there is still plenty of skipjack for the taking. Fishing is growing faster in this swath of the Pacific than in any other part of the world, says the WCPFC, as ever greater numbers of boats from Asia, the Americas and Europe are leaving depleted waters for these bluer pastures. "We're getting a lot of boats seeking to come into our region from the Indian Ocean and eastern Pacific because the skipjack is still healthy here," says...
