...automotive industry extended its downward spiral - and the Canadian loonie has climbed to nearly US$0.90 from a low of US$0.78 earlier in the year.

...Turkic origin, are the single largest ethnic group. But over the years, their culture has undergone a whittling away, amid a steady influx of Han Chinese, who now dominate the local economy. Today, about 70% of Urumqi is Han. The result: resentment and unrest.

...comedy Brüno, fell a calamitous 73% to about $8.4 million. It's as if the well-liked Borat, the character from Sacha Baron Cohen's previous hit, had come to a party with a new guest - "Say hello to my little friend Brüno" - and seen him greeted with a hail of bullets. The Friday-Saturday data show that Brüno was not even the top live-action comedy about a non-American who has sex with a man: it finished behind The Proposal, which has been in theaters three weeks longer.
