U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner insisted Thursday that the United States would never resort to weakening the dollar to spur growth, seeking to cool tension as Group of 20 (G20) nations struggled to bridge chasms over currencies.
World leaders gathered in Seoul for a two-day summit hoping to move beyond broad promises of economic cooperation, but days of rancorous debate appear to have undone much of the G20 unity forged in the throes of a global crisis two years ago.
Adding fuel to an already heated debate over the U.S. Federal Reserve’s bond-buying spree to revive the U.S. economy, Alan Greenspan, former Fed chairman, said the United States was pursuing a policy of weakening the dollar.
“The United States will never do that,” Geithner shot back a few hours later in an interview with CNBC. “We will never seek to weaken our currency as a tool to gain competitive advantage or to grow the economy五金回收.”
The G20 club of rich and emerging economies had hoped to use the summit to soothe tension over foreign exchange rates that have been created by sharply divergent growth rates.
U.S. President Barack Obama urged his peers to put aside differences and follow through on previous agreements to even out imbalances between cash-rich exporting nations and debt-burdened importers. (SD-Agencies)
¡°THE King¡¯s Speech¡± was crowned best picture Sunday at an Academy Awards ceremony as precise as a state coronation, the monarchy drama leading as expected with four Oscars and predictable favorites claiming acting honors.

JAPAN was excavating the site of a former medical school that could reveal grisly secrets from World War II.
The investigation began yesterday afternoon at the former school linked to Unit 731, a germ and biological warfare outfit during the war. Shadowy experiments conducted by the unit on war prisoners have never been officially acknowledged by the government but have been documented by historians and participants.
It is the first government probe of the Tokyo site, and follows a former nurse¡¯s revelation that she helped bury body parts there as American forces began occupying the capital at the end of the war.
Health Ministry official Kazuhiko Kawauchi said the excavation was aimed at finding out if anything is buried in the plot.
¡°We are not certain if the survey will find anything,¡± Kawauchi said. ¡°If anything is dug up, it may not be related to Unit 731.¡±
The former nurse, Toyo Ishii, now 88, broke 60 years of silence in 2006, saying she and colleagues at an army hospital at the site were ordered to bury numerous corpses, bones and body parts during the weeks following Japan¡¯s Aug. 15, 1945, surrender before American troops arrived in the capital.
Her disclosure led to a face-to-face meeting with the health minister and a government pledge to investigate. The digging had to wait until the scheduled relocation of residents and the demolition of apartments on the site last year.
The site is close to another area where a mass grave of dozens of possible war-experiment victims was uncovered in 1989 during the construction of a Health Ministry research institute.
Any remains found at the planned excavation site would have a stronger connection to Unit 731, said Keiichi Tsuneishi, a Kanagawa University history professor and expert on biological warfare.
¡°The site used to be the research headquarters of Unit 731,¡± Tsuneishi said. ¡°If bones are found there, they are most likely related to Unit 731.¡±
From its wartime base in Japanese-controlled Harbin in China, Unit 731 and related units injected war prisoners with typhus, cholera and other diseases to research germ warfare, according to historians and former unit members. Unit 731 is believed to have performed vivisections and to have frozen prisoners to death in endurance tests.
The 1989 find revealed dozens of fragmented thigh bones and skulls, some with holes drilled in them or sections cut out. Police denied there was any evidence of criminal activity.
The ministry concluded that the bones could not be directly linked to Unit 731. It said the remains were mostly of non-Japanese Asians and were likely from bodies used in ¡°medical education¡± or brought back from the war zone for analysis at the medical school.
A SET of books containing English translations of public signs in Shenzhen was released at a news conference yesterday by the Shenzhen Foreign Affairs Office.
The collection of books contain a total of 1.3 million words and includes a guidebook and 13 instruction books covering 13 categories such as traffic, place names, organizations, tourist spots, sports, cultural and health facilities, schools, ports, business and financial services, the news conference was told.
The office is considering publishing a simplified version by the end of October, Shenzhen Public Sign Bilingual Dictionary, to make the books more convenient for users.
The books were compiled by the Shenzhen Translators¡¯ Association and reviewed by a panel of 21 language experts headed by Guo Jiading and Shi Yanhua, veteran translators for the Foreign Ministry.
¡°The completion of the books marks the establishment of the city¡¯s bilingual public sign system, which is expected to end the chaotic naming situation,¡± said Xie Chengliang, deputy chief of the Shenzhen People¡¯s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
¡°Misleading translations cause inconvenience for tourists coming to Shenzhen and also mar the city¡¯s image on the way to becoming international,¡± Xie said.
Yet it was just the beginning of a big project. There were hundreds of thousands of public signs that should be standardized and it involved a lot of manpower and money input.
¡°Before the 2011 Universiade, new signs will be installed, replaced, improved and standardized on major city roads and in public areas,¡± Xie said.
There are about 4 million foreigners coming to Shenzhen as tourists, to work or live every year and about 160 million people cross city checkpoints on the border with Hong Kong.
There is so far no national standard for translations of public signs although Beijing published bilingual public sign books in 2008 before the Olympic Games.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said his government was ¡°appalled¡± and phoned his Philippine counterpart to voice concern. Hong Kong residents expressed outrage and media there denounced Philippine police as incompetent.
China warned travelers over travel to the Philippines and demanded answers yesterday over how eight Hong Kong tourists were killed in a hostage stand-off in Manila following a day of botched negotiations.
Philippine President Benigno Aquino III presented to China¡¯s ambassador to the Philippines the preliminary investigation into Monday¡¯s hostage saga, in which a dismissed policeman armed with an M16 rifle and a pistol seized a busload of 21 Hong Kong tourists and four locals to demand his reinstatement on the force.
All government offices in Hong Kong lowered flags to half-mast yesterday to mourn the victims.
The ordeal ended in bloodshed on live TV with police storming the bus and killing the gunman, 55-year-old Rolando Mendoza, after he fired at the tourists, killing eight of them. h±£´ü
Vice President Jejomar Binay and Foreign Secretary Alberto Romulo will fly to Beijing and Hong Kong to present the final report to Chinese authorities once it is completed, officials said.
Philippine police defended their actions ¡ª pointing out that officers lacking proper equipment had risked their lives in trying to bring the stand-off to an end. But they promised to review all events leading to the deaths.
Aquino, facing his first major crisis since taking office June 30, declared yesterday a national day of mourning in solidarity with the people of Hong Kong to ¡°share their sorrow with them.¡±‘ÑÅfµÄÃÀû
About 140,000 Hong Kong tourists visit the Philippines annually.
At the presidential palace, Aquino met with Chinese Ambassador Liu Jianchao and later spoke by phone for 15 minutes with Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang, briefing him on the progress of the investigation and assuring him the Philippine Government will assist the victims and their relatives.

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.
¡°The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa was painted in oils has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,¡± the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world¡¯s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. ¡°It is very interesting that when you¡¯re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,¡± said Professor Livingstone. ¡°It¡¯s because direct vision (ÊÓ¾õ) is excellent at picking up detail,but less suited to looking at shadows.(µ«ÊÇÓà¹âÊʺÏÔÚÒõÓ°Öйۿ´) Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.¡±
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France¡¯s King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World War II, the French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
A burst of heavy rain last night. A thousand thousand is repeating while harking this suit the song that a person listens to repeatedly the patter of rain very much " rainy night ". Then I have remembered the light rain elder brother that oneself was met in life low ebb period many years ago. Unexpectedly his once sincere my brave words that went ahead of encouragement come clearly into view. Then trace back to the trace that he has left on my space, leave a message for him. Who knows unexpectedly he is looking forward to my greeting again on another end of the boundless and indistinct sea of faces. Then, meet again again. Smile knowingly each other. Perhaps the accidental chance is the appearance with true life.
There is because the written language one was with the same taste and younger brother recognizing it two years ago. Have found together too. Then, my heart begins to come back temperately and moistly. Some things have lost. Always some things come back.
Been pursuing an intact love for many years. Say with feeling truest heart always best person often. Do not often understand for what everything happens on earth. Not taking care to begin to garrison again something, perhaps will have a miracle that take place. Love to everybody, it is one that have door imprison, see through, exceeded while entering outside all, contented to lead to. Ones that do not join completely, even if come in but go out, it is stuffy among them, grow the trouble in vain. The love lies in pursuing. The love does not have final result. Regard getting married as a purpose of the love, then it is the grave of the love to get married. The love is a course, and the course is that the reason grows reason to kill, always on the way.
The way of the love runs through it all, the love is better than being loved. There is no love, there is no happy foundation at all; Love, always can go, pursue, can receive happiness in imagination at least.
Still set up and listen to the rain quietly in front of the window in early morning. This rain is destined to scrub some dust piled up. Wander up and down outside of love I, want, come back, get one's own to the vivid life eventually. Even continue moving ahead alone, should lead to a cup of good wine life.

China's cultural tour can be divided into four following aspects, i.e. the layer of history and culture represented by historical relic, Historical Records, site, ancient building,etc.; Modern culture layer represented by modern culture, art, technological achievement; With resident daily life custom, festival celebration, offer sacrifices to, wedding and funeral arrangements, sport activity and wear dress,etc. clothes as representatives' folk culture layer; By exchanging it for ethical ethics culture layer of representation interpersonally. In our country, develop tourist industry, it is quite important to launch the cultural tour, it can not merely strengthen products appeal, increase economic efficiency, can carry forward Chinese culture in a more cost-effective manner, let the world understand China, man can also change present more and more Chinese and does not understand this state of Chinese culture at the same time.
The core of the cultural tour: Intention
After the concept of the cultural tour is distinct, " intention " It is that a core of the cultural tour is natural. The essence of the intention lies in seeking characteristic and difference, keep the same with essence of travelling.
It is to proceed from angle of resources and look for difference and characteristic to generally travel, no matter it has excavated course and considered market demand and competition relation, the starting point still can't break away from resources. The cultural tour has got rid of the constraint of resources to a certain extent, it can synthesize various factors, including a great deal of respects such as resources, the environment, market, social background are created, namely intention. Having diverged from the intention, the cultural tour will also lose vitality.
In fact, with the development of society, the intention industry has already risen in all parts of the world. Among them countries such as Britain, U.S.A., Japan, South Korea,etc. are comparatively typical, the government appears to promote the intention industry in person. The field that the intention industry involves is very extensive, including numerous respects such as broadcast, movie & TV, literature and art, journalism, printing, architectural design.

Intention industry calls the cultural intention industries or cultural industry too. The cultural industry is different from name angle of the travel industry, so can't talk about the difference of the two and get in touch generally. But cultural tourist industry can put under the cultural industry category, the reason lies in they regard intention as the core together; Two lies in their concept proceed from the operator's angle and define together. The cultural industry stems from the intention, regard intention, innovation as motive force, cultural tourist industry is also like this.
The cultural tour is planned with travelling
Present travel plan, make a key point project and products plan, to develop economic benefits brought make science predict while being difficult. But it is the economy to travel, it is an industry, must pay attention to the input and output, and comprehensive benefit. One that is with development of tourist industry is further ripe, the intensive development way will get more and more general attention, people will value the economic benefits of the travel and comprehensive benefit further, the center of planning of travel will be transferred from planning of products and project planning to the industry and planned. Core and motive force of the cultural tour lie in the products and project intention, but the purpose lies in obtaining greater economic benefits and social environment benefit, so, develop the development trend that the cultural travel industry accords with travel planning in future.
