...considered something of an up-and-comer in U.S. industry circles. Ganis and Huang helped Rockets owner Leslie Alexander buy a stake in Chinese sportswear firm Anta for its successful initial public offering two years ago. But that comprador work is minor compared with the Cavs deal, which would rank as the biggest international sporting investment by a Chinese-Hong Kong consortium if it goes through. "It makes sense for the Chinese to look for business in the States, because that's where the investment opportunities are," says Terry Rhoads, managing director of Zou Marketing, a sports-branding consultancy based...
...Amid the hundreds of acronyms that make up India's political landscape, the Communists rank among the few recognized "national" political parties of India, along with the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ruling Congress party. Competing for 130 seats, they only won 20, losing more than half their seats in the 543-seat lower house and suffering particularly costly setbacks in their strongholds of West Bengal and Kerala.

...community must make sacrifices, all members of the community should understand and be fully informed of our financial situation.

About 99% of all births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, yet we rank 29th in the world in infant mortality - below Hungary and tied with Slovakia and Poland - with 6.71 deaths per 1,000 live births. That compares to a rate of about 3.5 deaths per 1,000 live births in Far Eastern and Scandinavian countries such as Singapore, Japan, Norway and Sweden.

...Among those most eager to drive a wedge between the President and rank-and-file Catholics are Catholic Republicans, who worry about losing more voters to the Democratic Party. Newt Gingrich wasn't yet a Catholic when the 2004 statement was debated and approved. But the new convert was the first to speak out against Notre Dame's commencement speaker. On March 24, the Republican former House Speaker weighed in on his Twitter account, which appears to have limits on capital letters: "It is sad to see notre dame invite president obama to give the commencement address since his policies...
