  • A great glimpse into a suburban Shanghai wedding. Dozens of photos and a montage of video clips.
  • "The bibs, sold under the Baby Connection brand name, came in packs of two to seven bibs, with embroidered prints or images of Sesame Street characters. Some were sold as long ago as 2004. The bibs were made by Hamco exclusively for the retailer."
  • "Chips the size of a rice grain are being injected into the necks of dogs in a pilot project in the Xicheng district, Xinhua news agency reports." This has been done in Shanghai for a while now.
  • "China made its largest oil find in more than three decades, an offshore field with proven reserves of 405.07 million tons of oil, or 2.96 billion barrels, which should provide temporary relief from rising consumption and ease fears of energy insecurity."
  • "Viewers complained that their TV screens went blank for nearly two hours or showed anti-government messages for 30 to 40 seconds Tuesday evening, the Shanghai-based Xinmin Evening News said in a report on the website Sohu.com."
  • "The gas supply to about 10,000 households in Shanghai was suspended for eight hours after a gas pipeline was broken by a grab at a construction site on Thursday. No casualty has been reported, according to the municipal government."
  • In Shanghai this weekend.
  • Concerts in Fuxing Park, through Saturday.
  • "It felt like the movie was barely promoted here. There were ads [at] the mall where I saw it, but I didn’t see much ... elsewhere. What’s the point of the early release in Asia if you don’t promote it? You’re just making it easier on the DVD pira
  • "US president Bush has lost his position, while his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao still goes strong. Beijing Party Secretary Liu Qi made it and that seems closely connected to his efforts to get the Beijing Olympics in 2008 in place."
