 EDITOR'S NOTE
 In our efforts to broaden our outreach, one of our goals for 2008 is to upgrade our existing capabilities so that we operate at the level of a professional broadcasting studio. This project is already off and running: we have purchased state-of-the art video editing equipment, added new staff, and given the auditorium a face-lift.
As of January, all events that take place in the auditorium are captured on film and we are seeking out new distribution channels for both audio and video, from radio to YouTube.
If you haven't looked at our videos lately, click here.
As always, we welcome your feedback. Please contact mlynn@cceia.org

THE NEW ASIAN HEMISPHERE: THE IRRESTIBLE SHIFT OF GLOBAL POWER TO THE EAST
Western dominance is waning, says scholar and diplomat Kishore Mahbubani, and Asians have already implemented many Western best practices, from meritocracy to free-market economics.
