Fed officials see small uncertainty from Europe
SEOUL (Reuters) – Two U.S. Federal Reserve officials said on Monday that the euro zone debt crisis has added some uncertainty to the economic outlook but the impact is not yet big enough to influence the interest rate policy of the United States.

EasyJet plans suit over ash flight ban: report
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Budget airline easyJet (EZJ.L) plans a class action lawsuit to win compensation for flight bans imposed by Europe’s air safety authorities following a volcanic eruption in April, its chief executive told a German magazine.

‘Doctor Who’ star Elisabeth Sladen dies aged 63
LONDON – Elisabeth Sladen, a star sidekick of the “Doctor Who” series and a popular children’s show actress, has died of cancer Tuesday, the BBC said. She was 63.
Sladen joined the broadcaster in 1973 as Doctor Who’s assistant Sarah Jane Smith, an investigative journalist-turned-intrepid time traveler whose on-screen energy and tongue-in-cheek delivery eventually gave her career an unlikely second act in her own spin-off series, “The Sarah Jane Adventures.”
“Sarah Jane Smith was everybody’s hero when I was younger, and as brave and funny and brilliant as people only ever are in stories,” Steven Moffat, the series’s lead writer, said in a statement. “Many years later, when I met the real Sarah-Jane — Lis Sladen herself — she was exactly as any child ever have wanted her to be.”
Doctor Who centers on a time-hopping alien known only as The Doctor,Abercrombie And Fitch discount Outlet, but Sladen turned his sidekick into a star, playing opposite Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker for three-and-a-half seasons.
She would return to the role numerous times over the years, and when the series was resurrected in 2005, she was brought back as well — as the star of her own alien-busting television show.
“I left Sarah Jane a great many years ago, but she never left me,” Sladen said in an interview when the series was launched.
Sladen’s was praised for playing the role with humor and warmth, but she never warmed to science fiction, telling a television audience a couple of years ago that she found the genre was too complex. In an admission sure to shock Doctor Who’s die-hard fans, she said she never even bothered to learn the meaning of the TARDIS, The Doctor’s iconic telephone box-shaped time machine (it stands for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space.)
“I only learned that after I left,” she said,Cheap Abercrombie And Fitch outlet uk, explaining that the drama in science fiction didn’t come from the aliens or the gadgets. “It’s about relationships,” she said. “It’s about a body of people banding together to overcome adversity.”
The BBC said that Sladen was survived by her husband, actor Brian Miller, and a daughter,Abercrombie and fitch mens jeans, Sadie.

Airlines face major slowdown due to Japan: IATA
GENEVA (Reuters) – The nuclear and earthquake crises in Japan will cause the airline industry a “major slowdown” it will not start to recover from until at least the second half of 2011, industry body IATA said on Friday.
The International Air Transport Association said it was too early to assess the long-term impact but with the $62.5 billion Japan market representing 6.5 percent of scheduled worldwide traffic and 10 percent of industry revenues “the fortunes of the industry will likely not improve until the effect of a reconstruction rebound is felt in the second half of the year.”IATA said the most exposed international market to Japanese operations was China,Abercrombie and fitch mens, where Japan accounts for 23 percent of its international revenues.Taiwan and South Korea were equally exposed with 20 percent of their revenues related to Japanese operations,Abercrombie And Fitch Outlet, followed by Thailand (15 percent), the United States (12 percent), Hong Kong (11 percent) and Singapore (9 percent).France was the most exposed European market at 7 percent, followed by Germany (6 percent) and Britain (3 percent).Earlier on Friday, Deutsche Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) said a sharp rise in fuel costs could hurt its profit, although economic recovery should boost the airline’s revenues and operating profit this year and next.JET FUELJapan produces 3-4 percent of global jet fuel supply, some of which is exported to Asia, IATA said.”Some of this refinery capacity has been lost due to damages caused by the earthquake,” it said. “This supply restriction could lead to higher jet fuel prices.”(Reporting by Andrew Callus; Editing by Dan Lalor)
