America's Recession-Proof Cities-By Joshua Zumbrun, Forbes.com |

Nationally, home prices are falling, unemployment is on the rise and the economy is expected to grow slowly--or even contract--in the first half of the year.
But some cities are doing just fine.
Take Oklahoma City, Okla. With falling unemployment, one of the country's strongest housing markets, and solid growth in agriculture, energy and manufacturing, it looks best positioned among the nation's largest metropolitan areas to ride out the current crisis.
San Antonio is right behind. It also features solid employment figures and affordable home prices that continue to rise. Its industries are growing; it can't hurt that the new AT&T was formed when San Antonio-based SBC Communications swallowed the old AT&T Corp. and BellSouth.
The others holding steady or improving include Austin, Texas; Houston; Charlotte, N.C.; Dallas; San Jose, Calif.; Raleigh, N.C.; Salt Lake City; and Seattle.

China's Internet population ties US for world's biggest, though it lags in many respects
BEIJING (AP) -- By some measures, China has tied the United States as the online population leader with its government reporting that the number of Internet users there has soared to 221 million.
The figure, reported Thursday by the Xinhua News Agency, reflects China's explosive growth in Internet use despite government efforts to block access to material considered subversive or pornographic. It was a 61 percent increase over the 137 million Internet users reported at the start of 2007.

Dallas-Fort Worth added more than 162,000 residents between July 2006 and July 2007, more than any other metro area. Three other Texas areas — Houston, Austin and San Antonio — also cracked the top 10.

Not so long ago, Wall Street banks were recapitalizing insolvent Chinese state-owned financial institutions as well as leading companies in the state-controlled economy.
Now the money is beginning to flow the other way, as evidenced by the $5 billion bailout of Morgan Stanley (nyse: MS - news - people ) by a Chinese government-owned fund, China Investment Corp., that was announced Wednesday.
