|  Asian art took a giant leap forward in San Diego recently with the opening of an exhibition of statues, tapestries, drawings and even household furniture from China, Japan and Korea. Called "Art of East Asia," the stars of this exhibition remained hidden in the basement of the San Diego Museum of Art until finally introduced to the public by someone of Mexican descent – Roxana Velasquez Martinez del Campo, the museum's executive director, who has been on the job only two-and-a-half years. The story is on page 28 | | |  National Medal of Science Honoree Dr. Shu Chien of UCSD and Confucius Institute Director Dr. Lilly Cheng of SDSU will co-chair the tenth anniversary Asian Heritage Awards Gala Saturday, Sept. 14, at the San Diego Marquis & Marina in San Diego. The gala, to be held in the Marina Ballroom at 333 W. Harbor Drive, will honor achievement in ten categories, in addition to singling out an individual for Special Recognition. See story on page 4 | 
Record snow on the East Coast, record drought in the Midwest, record heat and brush fires in California – to continually ignore what's happening to our climate is suicide. Climate has not been part of the polirical agenda – until now. Let's hope it remains so. See story on page 6
|  You can't discuss climate without discussing global warming in the same breath. Global warming is likely to cause more extreme weather, say the experts. So stay tuned for more floods, more drought. See story on page 8
|  South Korea's popular pop group K-pop is turning heads – and eyes. The group's image is encouraging young people to undergo radical eye surgery unnecessarily. And it's not healthy – medically or culturally. See story on page 9 |  Vietnam, a police state where freedom of expression can come with a multi-year prison term, is awash in cell phones. Whether for talking, texting or taking photos, Vietnamese are buying up mobile devices at a rate exceeding the country's own population. See Business on page 24
