Though Seasonale is new, the idea behind it is not. Doctors have sometimes prescribed continuous birth control to suppress menstruation, whether for lifestyle reasons (before a beach vacation, say) or to avoid migraine headaches. One caveat: test subjects using Seasonale experienced nearly two weeks of bleeding during their first cycle. The spotting, however, diminished over time...
PacSun isn't finished with expansion. Weaver says the company is looking at possible acquisitions, although he plans to stay squarely in the teen market. For as fickle as teenagers can be, they can also be charmingly oblivious to events that suppress the purchasing appetites of other consumers. Teens "are CNN-proof," he says.

"I have two small children," he says. "How am I supposed to make them understand why this is happening...

Bankers, lawyers, senior business figures, religious leaders, academics and teachers fear the legislation will give leadership the legal tools it needs to suppress dissent in Hong Kong as ruthlessly as it does on the mainland. Meanwhile, foreigners voicing concern, including the U.S. government and the European Union, have been portrayed by the Hong Kong government as misinformed dupes of local democrats. At a time when Tung badly needs to reassure the international community...
