KOREA CULTURE HITS THE US FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN 2014–40,000 ATTEND KCON IN LA

The third annual edition of the Korean pop culture convention hosted by CJ E&M brought top K-pop stars such as G-Dragon and Girls' Generation. G-Dragon performed the first night along with female soloist IU, Teen Top, B1A4 and VIXX.

Girls' Generation performed the second night with CNBLUE, BTS and Jung Joon-young. The evening concerts were a special 10th anniversary of the "M!Countdown" a music program by Mnet.

But KCON 2014 also brought 36 small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) producing K-cosmetic and K-style products as well as Korean food. One of the key themes at this year's KCON 2014 is synergistic growth with Korean SMEs.

The SMEs that participate will get a chance to sell their product via CJ's home shopping channel, CJ O Shopping, but the SMEs were hoping that the two-day convention could become a platform to foray into the oversea market.

THE HOPELESS DEMOCRATS IN THE 2014 MIDTERM ELECTION GETS MORE BAD NEWS AS THE HOUSE WILL BE OUT OF REACH FROM THEIR GREASY GRABBING HANDS AS THE THEIR SUPPORT FOR CHAOS HAS NOTHING BUT BROUGHT PAIN AND SUFFERING

Congressional approval ratings hover at historic lows. The Republican Party's brand has tanked. More people than ever think their own congressman should be sent packing. And the most notable act in one of the most unproductive legislative periods on record was shutting down the government for 16 days.

Yet Republicans are forecast to pick up as many as a dozen U.S. House seats this November, strengthening their grip on the House majority. "I'd rather be us than them," crows Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., who chairs the House GOP's 2014 campaign operation.

18 US FIRMS HOLDS 36% OF US WEALTH FROM THE LIKES OF MICROSOFT, GOOGLE, CISCO, APPLE, ORACLE, FORD, COCA COLA, AND BOEING

Income inequality is a hot political topic and a report showing that a small number of U.S. companies hold most of the wealth could stir up more talk about ways to change tax policy.

The majority of corporate cash is amassed in the coffers of 18 U.S. firms — they held 36 percent of all wealth last year, a jump from 27 percent in 2009 with the gap expected to widen further, according to a report from Standard & Poor’s, a New York-based credit rater. …..

…..The top 1 percent are mostly investment-grade businesses — Microsoft, Google, Cisco, Apple, Oracle, Ford, Coca-Cola and Boeing — and are concentrated in technology and healthcare industries.
