【ワシントン時事】全米企業エコノミスト協会（NABE）は26日、2009年第3四半期の企業景況感調査の結果を公表した。需要が5四半期ぶりのプラスを記録、投資も1年ぶりに上向くなど回復が進展していることが明らかになった。
07年12月以来続いた戦後最長の米景気後退は終結し、経済は回復を始めたとの見方が有力だが、調査結果はこれを一段と補強する内容。

Wii-toting Nintendo surpasses Sony in market value
Bloomberg
Nintendo Co.'s market value on Monday surpassed that of Sony Corp., a company with eight times more revenue, underscoring the success of the Wii game console in outselling rival PlayStation 3.
Shares of Nintendo, based in Kyoto, rose to a record 46,350 yen on Monday, valuing the company at 6.57 trillion yen, and overtaking Sony's 6.48 trillion yen capitalization in trading. Nintendo's stock closed 0.8 percent lower at 45,100 yen.
Sony, which overtook Nintendo as the world's biggest console maker after the PlayStation 2 was introduced in 2000, suffered production delays and slow sales of its latest player. Wii's lower price and a wandlike controller that players swing like a sword or tennis racket helped Nintendo widen its sales lead over the PlayStation 3 in Japan last month.

Authorities initially believed the explosion, which occurred around 2:30 p.m., was due to a malfunctioning boiler in the basement of the one-story annex.

The Geographical Survey Institute, which conducts surveys and provides basic geographic data for the nation, announced Monday that the official name of the island is now Iwoto, which is what local residents called it before the war.
Iwoto means "sulfur island." Since the Japanese word for island can be expressed as "shima" or "to," the meaning will stay exactly the same.

＜仏大統領選＞サルコジ氏の当選確実 ロワイヤル氏破り
【パリ福井聡】フランスのシラク大統領（７４）の任期満了に伴う大統領選挙の決選投票が６日実施され、即日開票の結果、仏国営テレビ・フランス２によると、右派与党・国民運動連合のサルコジ前内相（５２）が左派野党・社会党のロワイヤル元家庭担当相（５３）を破って当選を確実にした。
仏国営テレビ・フランス２が６日午後８時（日本時間７日午前３時）の投票終了直後に報じた開票推計によると、サルコジ氏は得票率５３％でロワイヤル氏の４６％を上回った。また仏調査機関ＣＳＡによると国民の関心の高さを反映して投票率は８５．５％に達した。
経済を中心にグローバル化が進む中、フランスの雇用・国際競争力・アイデンティティーをどう確保するかが選挙戦の争点だった。市場・競争原理に基づく英米型の自由主義経済を志向するサルコジ氏は公務員削減などによる「小さな政府」の実現を呼びかけ、フランス初の女性大統領を目指したロワイヤル氏は「母親」イメージを前面に打ち出し、社会・福祉政策の充実による「弱者への思いやり」を訴えた。
