German quarterly GDP growth beats expectations By Polya Lesova FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Germany's economy powered ahead in the second quarter, growing by 2.2% over the first three months of the year, the Federal Statistical Office Destatis reported on Friday. The performance was well above market expectations of 1.4% growth. "Such a quarter-on-quarter growth has never been recorded before in reunified Germany," Destatis said. Compared to the second quarter of 2009, German calendar-adjusted GDP expanded by 3.7%. The euro extended its gains after the data, trading up 0.5% to $1.2895.

Chino -From my perspective, I dont buy this race stuff. In the 60s yes but things have progressed in a major way during our lifetime. Now the country even elected a black as president, which many in middle America voted for. So it would be best for all to quit throwing this race stuff out there and you might find that it isnt an issue. Or does it make good politics to continue dividing America along lines of black and white, brown and white, rich and poor, union and mgmt, .....? I have found that diversity is good but best when united. As long as the parties continue dividing Americans the country will suffer. The Arizona stuff is just one more example of politizing an event as racial, which if O hadnt made a big fuss over, it wouldnt have been such a big issue. Neil
