As if the record-breaking 21.3% official surveyed urban youth unemployment rate in June wasn't disturbing enough, a scholar digging into the data provided a more shocking stat — fully 46.5% of China's 16- to 24-year-olds were neither employed nor in school in March. Has China's urban unemployment rate for those aged 16 to 24 climbed to nearly 50%? The short answer is no — at least not in the way most of the world recognizes this gauge.

MONTEGRANDE / Philippine Daily Inquirer) MANILA, Philippines — Turning into reality President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s campaign promise to peg the price of rice at only P20 per kilogram remains a far-fetched possibility as agriculture officials cited on Tuesday external factors beyond their control that would make it hard to keep rice prices down in the coming years.

Dear Luv Doc, At a show last week me and my friend started talking to a couple of random guys next to us. They were maybe Australian (it was loud) and they were making us laugh talking about all of the strange people they had run into earlier in the day. At some point my friend's boyfriend (who was standing on the other side of my boyfriend) walked up to my friend and grabbed her arm and said, "We're leaving," and basically dragged her out of the club. The Australian guys gave me a look like, "What's his problem?" I grabbed my boyfriend's hand and followed them outside to see what was up.

"The gap works in our favor," Domi reflects over chips and dip at Pelons Tex-Mex. "Between us, the time we straddle, we have a sense for how scenes will grow and how they might recede. We're able to predict what things will get popular and whether they'll stay that way.

The OPO has a new leader (photo by John Anderson) Austin's Office of Police Oversight has a new, permanent director at a critical juncture in the fight over civilian oversight of the Austin Police Department – but it's unclear to us how and why she was selected. The permanent appointment of Gail McCant – who was previously appointed OPO's interim director in May by Interim City Manager Jesús Garza – follows the departure of two previous interim directors. Like his predecessor Spencer Cronk , Garza told the public that the city would conduct a national search to find the best candidate for the job.
