Apple settles Chinese iPad Dispute
By Enid Tsui in Hong Kong
Apple has agreed to pay $60m to settle a trademark dispute with Proview Technology (Shenzhen), which has spent the past two years trying to block the sale of the iPad in China, a market that has underpinned Apple’s rapid international expansion.
The US group agreed to settle with the mainland division of Proview International, a Hong Kong-listed technology group, in return for ownership of the iPad trademark in China, according to a statement by the Higher People’s Court of Guangdong. The deal took effect on Monday.

'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'
The lyrics for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," George Harrison's first truly great Beatles song, began as an accident — but a deliberate one. Harrison composed most of the music during the Beatles' February-April 1968 trip to Rishikesh, India, but wrote its words after the band returned to England. Inspired by the relativism principle of the I Ching, Harri-son pulled a book off a shelf in his parents' house, opened it to an arbitrary page and wrote a lyric around the first words he saw, which turned out to be the phrase "gently weeps." (Its source might have been Coates Kinney's much-anthologized 1849 poem "Rain on the Roof," which includes the lines "And the melancholy darkness/Gently weeps in rainy tears.")

Hospitals Fear Cuts in Aid for Care to Illegal Immigrants
By NINA BERNSTEIN
President Obama’s health care law is putting new strains on some of the nation’s most hard-pressed hospitals, by cutting aid they use to pay for emergency care for illegal immigrants, which they have long been required to provide.
The federal government has been spending $20 billion annually to reimburse these hospitals — most in poor urban and rural areas — for treating more than their share of the uninsured, including illegal immigrants. The health care law will eventually cut that money in half, based on the premise that fewer people will lack insurance after the law takes effect.
But the estimated 11 million people now living illegally in the United States are not covered by the health care law. Its sponsors, seeking to sidestep the contentious debate over immigration, excluded them from the law’s benefits.

Market boost from Spain bailout hint
By Miles Johnson in Madrid and Michael MacKenzie in New York
Stock markets rallied sharply on Friday as Spain responded to a conditional offer of intervention from the European Central Bank by signalling it would consider seeking a sovereign bailout.
High quality global journalism requires investment.
European and US equities gained while the borrowing costs of Spain and Italy fell. Those “exceptionally high” bond yields had prompted the ECB to say on Thursday it was devising a plan to buy bonds – but only if the affected countries applied to Europe’s rescue funds first.

Petrobras posts first loss in 13 years
By Samantha Pearson in São Paulo
Petrobras, the Brazilian state-controlled oil producer, has reported its first quarterly loss in 13 years after the sharp depreciation of the real added to existing problems at one of the region’s biggest companies.
The Rio de Janeiro-based group posted a net loss of R$1.35bn ($665m) in the second quarter, compared to a net profit of R$10.9bn in the same period a year earlier. It was the group’s first quarterly loss since the first three months of 1999, according to Reuters’ data, and fell far short of analysts’ forecasts of a net profit of about R$3.7bn for the period.
