The economic downturn makes finding sponsorship difficult

Chinese officials insist next year's World Expo in Shanghai has enough sponsorship and enough participants to be a success, despite the pressures of the current worldwide economic crisis.
Some 232 countries and organisations have signed up to take part in the technology and innovation showcase, although several have scaled back their plans.
With just over 400 days to go until the exhibition opens, the United States has yet to confirm its attendance because it's struggling to find the money to build its pavilion.

If the covered-up arms of Gwyneth, Helen, Kirsten and Anika at the Oscars didn’t convince you, Ellen Tien will: for spring, sleeves are in, “be they billowing balloons, leg of mutton, lantern or inset with flirty lace.”

Jack Cards prides itself on unique offerings that can't be found in the local drugstore, and I found that its cards fit the bill for many occasions. It's worth noting the cards looked even better in person, created by about 40 designers who left me both scratching my head over some of their humor and cooing over their beautiful designs. But the functionality of the site needs to improve, especially in the way it helps users search through cards; too often, results were hit and miss. And it doesn't incorporate enough rich Web 2.0 features, which could improve navigation on the site and be a real boon for looking at cards (imagine an inset animation of a card opening and revealing its message inside).
