MEXICO: Textile Industry On The Road To Recovery
Mexico's textile industry lost 32,000 workers in 2001 but it is now on the road to recovery with more than 8,000 jobs created in the first half of this year and brighter times just around the corner, industry chiefs said on Monday.
Officials from the national textile industry chamber, CANAINTEX, said although second quarter textile output fell 2.9 per cent from the year-ago period, output was higher than the previous two quarters.
The group said the sector now employs almost 160,000 people and textile sales to Mexican apparel exporters jumped 20 per cent in the first half of 2002 to $836 million, although total textile exports slipped 1.6 per cent to $2 billion.

Fake Apparel Worth $250,000 Seized In LA
Rapidly-growing fashion label School Of Hard Knocks Apparel on Monday announced it had seized 20,000 items of counterfeit clothing worth more than $250,000 from three Los Angeles-based distributors.
The New York-based producer of urban wear said it expects a 20 per cent loss of business from fake T-shirts alone this year and the "suit is a firm indication of position to protect the trademark of this fast growing line".

Editors at TIMEWARNER's PEOPLE magazine found themselves in controversy on Thursday -- after the weekly published a photograph showing former first daughter Chelsea Clinton in an apparent "aroused"
state.
Clinton is shown "erect" as she is embraced by her companion Ian Klaus at last week's US OPEN tennis tournament; her face: showing "bedroom pleasures."
Publishing the provocative photograph of the media-shy Clinton is the latest attempt by new PEOPLE editor Martha Nelson to heat up the magazine. The snap is featured near the front of the book in the September 23 edition [Pg.24].
But the controversial shot of Clinton pulled mixed reviews -- even from within the magazine!
"I work here, I found it in very poor taste," a PEOPLE staffer said. "Why don't we just run a photograph of his hands down her pants?"

'Lunch-time boob job here in 2 years'
We have had Botox party nights and 20-minute face lifts. Now the latest fashion in cosmetic surgery looks set to be the "lunch-time boob job".
A new type of breast enhancement which does not use implants and can be performed under local anaesthetic within an hour has been developed and could be available within two years.
Cosmetic surgeons predict that the injection will eclipse even the frownsmoothing Botox treatment to become one of the most popular procedures in Britain's booming plastic surgery market.
It involves injecting hyaluronic acid, which has previously been used as a "wrinkle filler", to change the shape and boost the size of the breasts.
Professor Brian Coughlan, president of the Royal Society of Medicine's plastic surgery division, said: "This is one of my top predictions for developments in cosmetic surgery in the future.
"Women no longer want huge, very artificial-looking breast implants that completely change the shape of their bodies - they want something that will make a difference, but not be immediately obvious.
"That is particularly important for British women, who are more reticent than Americans about cosmetic surgery. Women in the US will go to lunch and talk about their plastic surgeon. British women don't want people to immediately think they have had surgery - they want a more subtle look that enhances their natural shape."
The new procedure uses Non-Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid (Nasha) in a gel form, made by Swedish company Q-Med. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body. Nasha gel is used to smooth out wrinkles and boost the size of lips. Now scientists have found that it can be used to boost breasts. The first clinical trials are due to start in weeks.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.- Erika Harold, a 22-year-old Harvard-bound law student from Illinois, was crowned Miss America
2003, with a shower of sparkling confetti and cheers from thousands who packed a cavernous convention hall for the Miss America Pageant.
Harold, who entered the 81-year-old beauty contest as Miss Illinois, crouched momentarily in gleeful surprise before Miss America 2002 Katie Harman crowned her with a rhinestone tiara sent her down the runway to the anthem: "There She Is, Miss America."
