...opening up Latin America and combatting piracy in Asia. "Our marketing strategy is universal," says Mike Staffaroni, CEO of HSL, which is based in Carrollton, Texas. From Day One, the company has aimed at controlled distribution and growth, maintaining mystique by selling at premium-priced, higher-end retailers and "nix to the likes of Wal-Mart or Target." It positions Heelys as sporting equipment, not toys, despite a target audience of 6-to-14-year-olds...
Dubai Ports World backed out of the deal to run U.S. ports after Congress threatened to nix it, but another Dubai-owned firm shows no signs of cutting its U.S. ties. Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS), a British firm bought in January by a Dubai government investment vehicle, has a $50 million contract with the U.S. Navy and provides maritime services at more than a dozen U.S. ports.

...common duty of all democrats to confront the disgusting propaganda of neo-Nazis," said German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, whose government has tried and failed to ban the party. The Interior Ministry is now formulating proposals to stop far-right groups from demonstrating near Holocaust memorials. This would nix the NPD's planned May rally at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate near the new memorial to murdered Jews but would not have prevented clashes last weekend between the NPD and left-wingers in Schleswig-Holstein, where elections take place on Feb. 20. Moscow, too, is confronting anti-semitism...
