Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan arrested for drunken driving

Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan, who recently spent more than a month in
treatment for alcoholism, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of drunken
driving and cocaine possession, police said.

The 21-year-old actress, who is already facing a drunken driving charge
in Beverly Hills, was arrested about 1:30 a.m. in the Pacific coastal
town of Santa Monica near Los Angeles.

Lohan was booked for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs,
possession of cocaine, and driving on a suspended or revoked license. She
was released after posting a 25,000-dollar bail.

In a hastily convened news briefing outside the Santa Monica police
station, a police officer told reporters that another motorist — whom
police described as the mother of Lohan’s personal assistant — had
called police on her cell phone and alleged that the actress was chasing
after her in an SUV.

Police said the other motorist and Lohan were in a parking lot and were
arguing when officers arrived.

After officers conducted their initial investigation, they determined
that Lohan was driving her vehicle under the influence. She was arrested
for driving under the influence, and transported to the Santa Monica jail.

While in the jail, officers found in her possession a small amount of
cocaine. She was charged for driving for driving under the influence, and
for possession of the cocaine, according to police.

The two passengers were questioned and released, and the actress “was
cooperative during the arrest,” police said.

Lohan was arrested in May for drunken driving after she crashed her
Mercedes in Beverly Hills. She turned herself into the Beverly Hills
Police Department just last week and was booked on those charges.

Upon her release from an alcoholism treatment center two weeks ago, Lohan
had agreed to wear a alcohol-detecting anklet.

Lohan’s recent stint at the treatment center was her second round of
treatment in less than a year. In January, she checked into a treatment
center after supposedly passing out in a hotel hallway after party thrown
for the Golden Globe Awards.

Lohan began her acting career at 10 as a child star, and have played
rebellious youth roles in films like the 2004 “Mean Girls” and this
year’s “Georgia Rules.” She just turned 21 — the legal age for alcohol
drinking in the United States, earlier this month.

Commodity prices up and down

In June, the CPI (consumer price index) rose 4.4%, mainly driven by food
prices hike. In the first half of the year, the CPI increased by 3.2%.
Excluding food and energy items, the core price index rose only 0.9%.

Commodity price is an important indicator for observing the economic
performance. Generally speaking, if high growth is accompanied by serious
inflation, then the economy is in the overheated situation for sure.

The CPI rose 3.2% during the first six months, and 4.4% in June. Mainly
driven by food prices hike, the CPI growth was showing significant
structural characteristics. Of the 3.2% increase, 2.5 percentage points
come from food prices hike. In other words, if excluding food items, the
CPI of other items rose only 0.7%. To be specific, grain prices rose
6.4%. Meat or poultry products rose 20.7%. Egg prices rose 27.9%. Aquatic
products prices rose 3.7%. Prices of fresh vegetables fell 2.9% and,
fruit prices, down 2.9%.

Recently, price hike of grain, meat or poultry products and eggs has
drawn wide attention. There are several points to mention: First, the
rise of grain prices are subject to the influence of a variety of factors
such as prices in the international grain market and increased demand for
food; Second, price hikes of pork was mainly because of the decline in
production of live pigs last year and insufficient supply of live pigs
this year resulted from the blue ear disease.

Excluding food and energy items, the core price index rose only 0.9%
between January and June. Price changes showed ups and downs. Despite the
surging food prices, industrial producer prices remained basically
stable, only up 2.8%. In June, the general price level rose 2.5%. General
buying prices of raw materials, fuel, and power products dropped
relatively, rose only 3.8% from January to June, and 3.4% in June. During
the news briefing on July 19, State Statistical Bureau spokesman Li
Xiaochao also revealed that food prices rose 1.9% in the first half of
last year, of which, grain prices rose 1.3%; poultry products decreased
7.7%; egg prices fell 10.9%. The lower base price level of last year is
also a factor that made the growth rate of this year relatively high.

Desk editor: In term of its national strength, Russia today is much
strong and powerful than what it was at the time of disintegration of the
former Soviet Union. In recent years, it has intensified its national
defense and the modernization of its armed forces. With the revival of
mind as a major power, Russia hopes to hold talks or dialogues with NATO
on an equal footing.

Tang Jianqun: With the its intensified infiltration in East Europe since
early 2007, the U.S. has proposed to Poland and the Czech Republic to
deploy its anti-missile and radar systems in their territories, which it
claims as an important component part of its global missile defense plan
with a sole aim to cope with such rogue nations as Iran. In fact, the US
missile defense system is not only a military defense project but one
that involves politics, economy, technology and diplomacy, etc.
Furthermore, the deployment of its weaponry system in Poland and Czech is
meant to send troops to Russia’’s doorway. And the US resolve with the
deployment of the anti-missile system has indeed infuriated Russia.

Desk editor: While announcing the suspension of its obligation to CFE,
Russia stressed that it will not be bound by limitations to its any
conventional armaments. This is sure to have a tremendous impact on
European security and Russia-US ties, and could you offer your views on
this point?

Teng Jianqun: Nevertheless, the cornerstone of balance of conventional
forces in Europe will not be shaken either with Russia’’s withdrawal or
suspension of its obligations to the CFE. The extinction of the treaty
will lash directly at the Russia-US relations, US-Europe ties and
Russia-Europe ties. The NATO led by the U.S. has been bent on squeezing
Russia’’s strategic space, and this is bound to lead to the strained
relations among big powers.

At present, some eastern European nations have displayed their
dissatisfaction with a policy of uni-polarity pursued by the U.S. in
Europe, and at the same time, there is a centrifugal tendency toward the
U.S. in Western Europe.

Luo Yuan: CEF has been so far the most crucial international treaty for
the control of conventional armaments. Once the treaty becomes
ineffective, it is meant to rescind the rules for control of arms race,
and a new round of arms race will start in its wake.

Teng Jianqun: The history of Europe over the past century has convined
people with an iron-clad fact that peace is available only with the
relative balance of forces. Today, if the U.S. and other Western European
nations have gone to the extremes to squeeze Russia, things will
certainly go to the opposite, and the so-called absolute security NATO is
seeking for will be turned just to the opposite — insecurity.

Desk editor: The Russian decision on suspension of its obligation to CFE
has seized some European countries with panic, and could you say
something about response in U.S. and European nations.

Li Xuejiang: The US government on one hand has expressed its
disappointment and, on the other hand voiced its readiness to continue
its dialogue with Russia. Despite his “Lobster Summit” treatment he
has offered his Russian counterpart Putin during the latter’’s trip to
the U.S., President Bush still persists in his stance on the deployment
of anti-missile system in Eastern Europe.

In the meantime, US national security adviser Condoleeza Rice suggested
following the example of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the
U.S. from 1933-1945, who had led and guided the U.S. into the stage of
imperialism, with use of both efficient tactics “soft words and hard
arguments” to cope with similar tough issues today.

Zhang Niansheng: Media repots in Europe have covered and analyzed this
move of Russia’’s to suspend its obligations to CFE. Overall，the
European nations have retained a restraint attitude in a hope of settling
the issue with Russia via dialogues. On the one hand, they will do some
work to help ease up its relations with Russia and, on the other, they
will also do something to prepare themselves to cope with its challenges.
Anyhow, the Europe will not return to a new cold war era just because of
the ongoing eastern enlargement of NATO and the present US deployment of
its anti-missile system in Eastern Europe.

Romania’s advertising market grew 35 percent in the first six months of
this year compared with the same period of last year, Rompres news agency
reported Thursday.

More than 2.23 billion euros (3.03 billion U.S. dollars) were invested in
advertising during the period, with 1.76 billion euros (2.39 billion
dollars) for advertising on TV, radio and print media.

According to local specialists, increases in tariffs of most TV and radio
stations contributed to the growth in advertising. In addition, Romania’s
EU entry made room for new customers willing to pay the price and those
already on the market were forced to modify their advertising budgets to
maintain transparency.

The biggest investments in advertising were made by Procter &Gamble,
Unilever and L’Oreal Romania, according to Alfa Cont monitoring.

Some 90.2 percent of gross investments, or 2 billion euros (2.72 billion
dollars) were drawn by TV stations, followed by print media with 7.54
percent and radios with 2.1 percent.

Schwarzenegger favors proposal for non-stop flights to China

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday that he favored a
proposal for non-stop air services to China from two major Californian
cities.

Schwarzenegger made the remarks after United Airlines submitted an
application to the U.S. Department of Transportation Monday to add daily,
non-stop services from San Francisco and Los Angeles to China in 2008 and
2009.

“China’s more than 1 billion citizens represent an important market for
Californian products and services,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement
e-mailed to Xinhua.

“United Airlines’ proposal to add a daily, non-stop service between our
state and China is a great opportunity to promote California tourism and
pump up our state’s economy,” said the governor.

“Direct flights between California and China will only have a positive
impact on our state and I look forward to working with United Airlines in
the future as we continue to strengthen our economic ties with this
important Pacific Rim partner,” he added.

United Airlines’ application proposes a non-stop service between San
Francisco and Guangzhou in 2008, and a daily non-stop service between Los
Angeles and Shanghai in 2009.

In 2006, exports from California to China totaled almost 10 billion
dollars, up from 5.5 billion dollars in 2003 when the governor took
office, according to the statement.

California is the number one U.S. state in terms of total exports to
China and the top exports include computers and electronic products,
waste and scrap materials, transportation equipment and heavy machinery.
