Japanese Government Bonds May Rise on View Tankan Won't Back Higher Rates

(Bloomberg) -- Japanese government bonds may rise
for a second day on speculation the central bank's Tankan survey

(Reuters) - In "A Year Without 'Made in China,"'
Bongiorni tells how she and her family found that such formerly
simple acts as finding new shoes, buying a birthday toy and
fixing a drawer became ordeals without the Asian giant.




Bongiorni takes pains to say she does not have a
