@ Hibro
When the 8 Western Powers came to China to cause trouble, they had already found the weakness of the Qing Dynasty which was already on its death throes
Qing Dynasty had already weakened & declined due to decadence & corruption. To make matters worse, the TAIPING REBELLIAN which caused bilions of $$$$ & 20 million lives had furher weakened the Qing Govt
Qing Govt was fighting against a big internal uprising as well as the 8 Western powers armies
The Empress, was totally ignorant of the West & its modern armies
The Emperor's brother Prince Kung led a 20,000 Cavalry charge against the 20,000 British/French armies armed with artillery & machin e guns
The Manchu
Yes, China was much bigger than the 8 western countries, BUT China was divided into 2 opposing camps
If the Qing Govt had the loyalty/love of the people, they could have easily mustered an army of 10 million and massacred the "Kwei-Los"
BUT, they had to fight their own people as well
The Boxers were "triads" --- secret societies dedicated to the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty & dedicated to the restoration of the Ming Dynasty -- their slogan "Overthrow Qing--restore Ming"
@ Hibro
"The total size of those 8 little countries was still smaller than China, more like a gang of Davids vs Goliath."
Territorial size or population don't matter. Economic and military might does. Plus many of those "countries" had empires mite wanna read up on dat. So at that time China was a "David" against this combined Goliath nay more like Godzilla ;-)
"Qing rulers committed multiple atrocities and massacres as well, not to mention the more recent Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward famine. Selective amnesia here, perhaps."
U forgot Khmer Rouge and the brutal "teaching of lesson" war with Vietnam!
The atrocties u have mentioned all seem to be inflicted by the Chinese ON CHINA. There is a BIG difference from outsiders committing atrocities on a country like eg US during Vietnam War! In any case ur point is a NON-SEQUITUR cuz the context in which I mentioned Boxer Rebellion was completely different. Plz go back and (slowly) read my post again. And finally it doesn't matter wat Qing or Manchu or anyone in Somalia or Rwanda did. It does not and cannot justify America's brutal occupation of Philippines in which tens of thousands of people died. Period.
VERY VERY OT but Boxer Rebellion got me thinking about something. If some people were willing to occupy other places, wage wars and murder the "natives" as late as 100 years back guided by the narrative of harvesting souls for Christianity which is supposed to have gone thru Reformation (and wat not!) centuries back, wat hope is there (of reforming it further)? I am glad many in Europe esply Nordic countries and MittelEuropa are moving away from it.
Jus FYI tens of thousands of people (by some estimates upto 1million!!) perished in the War of Independence, the Philippine American War!
Now I am wondering whether even the Japanese were more brutal to them!
Oh and jus to dispel the cockamamie idea that Japan was somehow viewed as a threat and was an enemy to US as early as 1900 I present the Boxer Rebellion when 8 countries ganged up against China and colluded to defeat the Qing dynasty.
@ Simon says
"So, what are they supposed to do - wait for the Germans or Japan to secure a strategic position over them."
Seriously u are using Japan and Kasier Germany (which had absolutely no colonies) as threats to justify the occupation in 1900? Come on now!
"And then the Japanese could have taken over the Phil's and shown them what a brutal occupation really was - like Manchuria, rape of Nanking, domination of Korea. In the end maybe that would have been better."
Am I seeing a version of "white man's burden" here? Oh those poor poor natives what can they do? they r our "burden".
Oh btw Newsflash: wen the atrocities dat u mention happened US did absolutely nothing. Cuz of shall we say ... geopolitical interests. In fact US entered the WW2 against Japan only after Pearl Harbour!
"I guess we could have sat back and been the good guys living by higher principles."
I never said this. But you cannot justify the occupation of Philipines and the murder of hundreds of innocent "insurgents" in the form of high principles either.
"It wasn't any great change of heart in national attitude. It was simply that the geopolitical situation finally was right for us."
Of course. But the question is was it (the US occupation) rite for the Filipinos? IMO it wasn't. Especially wen u consider dat they already formed a Republic in 1898 which the US opposed! In US defense I will say dis. Someone once asked Retd Gen Brent Scowcroft if he thought US is an empire. His answer was remarkable. He said "Yes. But only by accident :-)". In some sense the colonization of Filippines was an "accident" cuz it was not in "general character" with dat of the US. Nonetheless it was a bad episode not least to the people of Philipines. Justifying it is pointless. That's jus my opinion.
"They cited reports that America is in talks on nuclear co-operation with Vietnam"
What's to be understood?
That is, of course, IF the reports are true.
The script this site is running messed up my last comment.
Very good piece.
This is the first time I see information about who is setting up the mosque and for what reason, because the media has always been portraying the move as puting salt on the wound.
I think it is up to Rauf to win over the hearts and souls of the unbias Americans, if it is too provocative then he should withdraw even if it is with all good intentions. Of course with the one-sided media reporting, that will be a monumental job. Maybe he can organize a service to remember the dead and at which will be a great time to denounce Muslim terrorists and offer apologizes to the families and Americans.

even setting up its neighbor for nuke?
Are you saying about North Korea or Pakistan???...
Read article again.. I think that you misunderstood it.
US is doing something for their benefits but it would also help China..
Let me introduce my conspiracy theory.. I think that Whole thing which is happening around Asia is the result of US and China conspiracy...
Let's assume that US take its sticking nose off the Yellow sea and South China see and let China have their wishes in those areas. Further assume that US says that We are too weak to protect you from China.
After one year, China would have to deal with at least very determined and powerful countries with A-bombs : Korea, and Japan.. Only thing which has blocked them from having A-bombs is US. So I think that It is better for them - US and China - to deal with each other in this area or at least to pretend to deal with each other since the alternatives would be disaster to them.. So it is all conspiracy between US and China IMO.
The Bases-upon-in-Japan theory is equally highly problematic, to say the least, as,
(1) The DEFINITE objections of the, possibly with pre-emptive military attacks/harassment/actions by, the Russians, especially the Russians at and the Pacific Fleet thereof and thereto at Vladivostok/Vladivastok, at Nakhodka and at Possiyet-de-Rossiyer;
(2) The potential/possible objections by the racially-related Australians, with the much-more symbolically-important Austro-American Millitary Alliance of the ANZUS;
(3) The Koreans (The South Koreans), which DO NOT EVEN PRETEND to be friends of Japan and of the Japanese;
(4) The Koreans (The South Koreans), both for their own defence and for their territorial ambitions, DO NOT ALLOW (new/more) foreign military bases, if not also activities, of the United States, upon the Islands of Kyushu;
(5) It would open the United States to perpetual economic ransom, in terms of rent and etc.;
(6) It would also allow the Japanese to also ultimately dictate military policies of the United States, ESPECIALLY that of and to the D.A.D.T.; and
(7) And ALL Islands of the Islands of Ryukyu-Okinawa-and-the-Satsuma, even including the Island of Naha the Island of the Mainland, are both Geographically- and Strategically-speaking practically ALL TOO SMALL (Are there even river of running water with enough drinkable water upon there? I think not!) to be practical that any military bases thereof would also be too small that would become the Sitting Ducks in Times of War and in any War.
@silent chinese
Ah, now you're citing counterpunch - some of the worst "journalism" going. I've read their material in the past about the Iraq war. Typical of their arguments I've read in the past are things such as first stating the US sold Iraq chemicals to make chemical weapons - false in its own right. They take a sale of a chemical with a legitimate commercial use, but like virtually all chemicals, also can be used for making weapons. Somehow this becomes sale of a duel use chemical to sale of a chemical to make chemical weapons, with no proof that that is why is was sold or how it was used. Then a paragraph or two later this morphs into the US selling chemical weapons to Iraq.
If those flakes are your source of information, then there is no point discussing this further. You live in conspiracy theory la-la land. Enjoy it.
@ Simon says
"But in North America the US could ensure Cuba would not become someone else's colony. In the Pacific and the Philipines, that was not the case. With Spain out, any large power could have come in and asserted power over the Phil's."
Kinda OT. And sorry to nitpick here but I guez every imperial power could have used this justification. Like the Brits could say hey we occupied to save u from the ______ (insert the most unpalatable adjective) French. In fact some Japanese claim with little justification dat they did the same to "save" Asia. I was browsing the Asahi Shimbun the other day and they had a list of "top 10 'modern' events that influenced Asia". I was (pleasantly!) surprised to see dat the (Indian) Mutiny of 1857 (against British) made it to the top of the list, even surpassing the Meiji Restoration which was ranked second!! Anyways I digress.
SO< the bottomline = while the Economist thinks the US is "containing China" --the Chinese people , out of the goodness of their hearts, and out of friendly feelings toewards the American people, do pray & hope that the US economy can recover & wish for nothing but that the American peoples can overcome their economic crisis
If the US has the ability to contain China, which come China's economy can grow more than 10% year on year ???
CHINA = the top 2 receipient of FSDI in the world
China's FDI grew at record levels for 2010
China FDI had been growing consistently for past 3 decades
who is kidding who ? Mr. Banyan
Where is the so-called "containment"
Far from being contained, China's trade surplus for June 2010, grew more than 30% year-on-year
who is containing whom ?
who is kidding who here,....Mr.Banyan
Economist, you have never wrote about the CHINA-JAPAN-S KOREA Super-FTA which had undergone 8 years of negotiations & which may be soon finalised

US dollars will not die, it will disappear in the world. No one will mention it anymore. I am stocking up Yuan for my retirement.
US dollars means debts. They like debts and Chinese don´t. I am not a NINA (no income no access)... :-)
I am may have bit over done it when I said dollar will die.
It will become just another trading currency and but will not have the status it enjoy today. but that rests on America maintaining a healthy budget deficit ratio to GDP and a more balanced trade structure.
World trading system and patterns will re-emerge. where multitude of currency will take part, $,Yuan,Yen,and Euro.
or may be a super currency unit will emerge?
At this moment I am reminded of another phase in history,
"carthago delenda est".
an aggressive militarized Rome will pick war with a trading empire.
If Americans choose to go down that route, I don;t think the out come will be same as that of rome.

Hey, judging from the amount of post, you are not too laid back either."
If you look at my post there are long breaks were I have not posted for weeks or have posted 2-3 post a week. I know poster here that can post (both Chinese/non-chinese) that can post 6-8 pages every week for months on end. They do it without fail. Whether they are pro/anti China I don't know how they do it.
"This is the true game changer, I do not see this same level of self confidence, willing to go head to head against overwhelming western media superiority, in similarly affluent Taiwanese or Hongkong or overseas chinese population.
The PRC has succeeded. it changed a nation."
The reason why they don't have to, because there is no need. Secondly while the Tibet/Xinjiang reports were biased, the Western press is a lot more subdued on a variety of issues than Asian media. The problem is it produces a knee jerk reaction on anything negative about China, even when the criticism is muted.
Take for example, concerns over the safety of Chinese products. Western media outlets are nowhere no as critical on the safety of Chinese products than Asian media outlets. In East Asia they run far many more articles than in Western media outlets. Often in the West, many products are withdraw from shelves quietly with very little mention in the media. Whereas in Hong Kong or Taiwan, they can fill pages about defective Chinese products.
It might seem like a conspiracy. But every person has their own pet peeve about China as those everyone have a pet peeve about America. One has to get used to it. Some don't care about human rights, others care about Yuan etc.
Frankly one can whine and complain about how others perceive Chinese foreign policy, but they have every right to voice their opinion. This is one area where the Chinese leaders should listen to what others think even if they don't agree with them. One can't see it's a domestic issue and tell everyone to shove it.
takeiteasy wrote: Aug 16th 2010 6:50 GMT It would make more sense for America to contain China economically (thought not clear how they can do this right now peacefully). Chinese are establishing direct yuan-exchange with many developing countries and demanding and end to the dominance of US dollars (I personally believe that this is not very welcome at this stage, i.e. while China is still very mysterious). Also, I do not think the Chinese are particularly worried about their backwaters, which they anyway dominate, but that shouldn't stop them of keeping up the rhetoric and irritiating the US.
I think I should do a full-disclosure here:
Personally, I am hoarding Yuan and Yuan denominated assets right now.

Northgate hoping to avoid transition letdown
TribLIVE Sports Videos
New Northgate coach Brandon LeDonne has not been around the program long, but he already likes what he sees.
"I'm very impressed by the caliber of kids," he said. "I can't say enough good things about the kids."
LeDonne, a former assistant at Aliquippa and Moon, is getting his first crack at running his own team. He took over a Northgate squad that went through a resurgence the past two seasons under former coach T.J. Wiley, including the Flames' first trip to the playoffs since 2003.
However, the Flames missed the playoffs last season after losing four games down the stretch. They also lost their coach, who now is coaching at Deer Lakes.
In stepped LeDonne, who wants to avoid the dreaded transition year.
"We had a nice spring where we got the kids out and running around a little bit and seeing what positions they can play," he said. "We're very optimistic about the season."
Perhaps the biggest issue for LeDonne is who won't be running around for the Flames this season. Replacements will be needed for do-everything quarterback Cody Walter and tackling machine Mack Quinn. The graduates were two of the best players in the conference last year.
Returning is leading receiver Mark Lodge. Opposite him will be up-and-comer Romello Snyder. The battle to replace Walter at quarterback will be between Alex Marusic and Johnny Camello. Clearing a path will be sophomore lineman John Lenowski (6-foot-2, 220 pounds).
LeDonne said there is not a star player on either side of the ball like the Flames had last year, but that doesn't bother him.
"I'm a big advocate of playing a lot of guys," he said. "It keeps people fresh, keeps the kids competitive, keeps people motivated."
There won't be much time to get acquainted in the competitive Eastern Conference. Last season, the Flames lost by four points or fewer in three of their defeats.
"I keep telling the kids every game's going to be meaningful," LeDonne said. "Whether it's the first game or the ninth game, a win could be the one that puts us in the playoffs."

Trashion show to glam up garbage
Where some people see trash, amateur designers at a Sharjah school see a new wardrobe

- Trashion: Students sashaying on the ramp in dresses made of recyled material
Dubai Would you wear a dress made of bubble wraps, tea bags and discarded bottle caps? For all you know, clothes made of these discarded items may just be a stitch away, thanks to an initiative by Our Own English High School in Sharjah.
trash to fashion
Of late, amateur designers at the school's home science department have been honing their skills in trashion, a portmanteau of trash and fashion. There are bewitching evening gowns made of plastic sheets and chocolate wraps, smart party outfits made out of tea bags and jute and, in one case, a fancy blouse embellished with a keyboard!
These outrageous creations were among many others showcased at a 'Recycle Runway' show at the school earlier this month. "The idea is to inspire people to find creative use for waste and divert recyclable material away from the landfills," said senior faculty at the school's home science department, Anitha Sanalkumar, who's spearheading the unique eco-campaign.
Flush with the success of the show, the school is now preparing to rope in four more schools and hold a much bigger event at a mall in Dubai next month.
"Sustainable fashion is the way forward. We hope the event will create awareness and make people think twice before they throw something away," said Anitha.

After serving in the Army, Jeff Barr knew he wanted to expand his accounting degree. MSU's affordable cost and exceptional faculty made the decision of where to attend graduate school easy.
Degree: Bachelor's in accounting from Missouri State, 2008
Why I chose Missouri State: Both of my parents graduated from here, so it feels like home. I knew I was always going to go to Missouri State, even as a kid.
Why I chose to pursue an MBA after time in the military: It was a good landing spot for me after getting out of the Army. I wanted to expand on my accounting degree, and going to school full-time for my master's gives me a chance to find out what I want to do. I'm currently attending school using the G.I. Bill, so Missouri State is a great value for me.
How faculty help students succeed: They are very knowledgeable in their fields and can give you a lot of different perspectives. They make you think critically about the subject they are teaching you, which allows you to figure out the right answer for yourself.
How the program has challenged me to think bigger: The MBA program gives you a little bit of everything, so you don't just focus on one subject. It allows me to think about all the aspects of business.
Nathan Nolan has never regretted his decision to become a doctor and has embraced all opportunities along the way. "All of these experiences have further solidified my desire to be a doctor and my passion for the field of medicine."

Bill proposed to boost Oklahoma lottery participation
Legislation intended to help Oklahoma's lottery offer more prize money and attract more players has been filed at the state Capitol. Sen. Richard Lerblance said his measure, Senate Bill 1279, would eliminate the requirement that education receive 35 percent of lottery sales. By eliminating the formula, lottery trustees have said, prize money could be increased and more payouts could be offered, which would attract more players.
Lottery trustees have sought similar legislation the past couple years. Similar measures have failed to advance in the Republican-controlled Legislature, which for the most part opposes the lottery. Lerblance, D-Hartshorne, said a recent report by the Census Bureau shows Oklahoma is low in actual lottery sales and dollars netted. Net sales in 2008 totaled just over $200 million, putting Oklahoma 36th among the country's 42 lotteries, according to the federal agency. Nearly $113 million was given as prizes for a 45.2 percent payoff percentage, which was the fourth-lowest in the nation. "We're facing one of the largest revenue shortfalls in our state's history and we need to pass legislation to help produce new revenue, and my bill will help do that," Lerblance said. Lottery directors from Florida and North Carolina told Oklahoma lottery officials in 2008 that sales skyrocketed in their states when legislators there removed similar mandates.

Amdocs Q1 net income up 26 percent

Officials at Amdocs Ltd. said Wednesday that the company's revenue for its first fiscal quarter ended Dec. 31 was $807 million, up 4.1 percent from $775.2 million during the same quarter a year earlier.
The Chesterfield-based customer relationship software company's net income in the recent quarter was $92.7 million, up 26.4 percent from $73.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
New deals with some of the largest carriers in emerging global markets and healthy business activity in Europe improved the company's results, Amdocs Management Ltd. CEO Eli Gelman said.
"In North America, AT&T's mid-December withdrawal of its bid for T-Mobile USA caused some spending slowdown in our largest customer, while the rest of the region performed as expected," he said in a statement.
Also during the recent quarter, Amdocs (NYSE: DOX) signed a multiyear agreement with Comcast, which it announced separately today, and three deals in Latin America.
As of Dec. 31, the company has repurchased $1.2 billion of its outstanding shares, or roughly 20 percent, since resuming a buyback program in April 2010.

Oklahoma State linebacker Caleb Lavey, who recorded his first career interception, sat down with The Oklahoman after the Cowboys' 38-26 victory over Texas.
OSU linebacker Caleb Lavey records first career interception vs. Texas
How did it feel to get your first-career interception in such a key game in your home state?
It was really exciting. Every turnover is huge. I'm glad I got my first one, especially down here in Texas. It was a lot of fun. I think everybody dreams about making a big play or two down in Austin, in front of the big lights.
What did you see on that interception play?
I was dropped back in coverage and read the quarterbacks' eyes. Luckily, I got a hand on it. I give credit to the gloves for bringing that sucker in.
What does winning at Texas in back-to-back seasons mean to the OSU program?
It was a big deal for all of us players. Texas is a good football team. They're always a good program. They can beat anybody on any given day. So it was a huge deal for us to come down here and beat them. It doesn't mean anything to be 6-0 right now. We've just got to keep winning, keep pushing each other in practice and just try to be a better football team.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Posted: 02/6/2013 9:51 AM | Comments: 0
EDMONTON — Among the most fascinating debates to emerge throughout the so-called War on Terror has been the ongoing concern regarding the use of unmanned drones by the U.S.
These drones have been used in various theatres of war, and their use has been heavily defended by the Obama administration. When a U.S. Justice Department memo was leaked regarding the possible use of drones to kill American citizens abroad participating in terrorist activities against the U.S., the Obama administration argued that the American government would continue to rely on drones because "they are legal, they are ethical, and they are wise."
Throughout the last decade, the use of drone technology has come under heavy scrutiny due to the lack of oversight of drone strikes, particularly under the CIA umbrella, the collateral damage and civilian casualties sometimes incurred by their use, and more because of the serious ethical questions that stem from unmanned drone technology being used to kill targets without due process or oversight from the U.S. Congress or international institutions.
In many ways, the U.S. executive branch has been defining and eliminating targets at will.
This lack of process and the growing fears of the president's unilateral ability to deploy and use drones have now led many in Congress, Democrats included, to explore the possibility to placing limits on the use of drones and possible limits on presidential authority over drones in the future.
Presently, the U.S. military and CIA have the authority to use unmanned drones to target and eliminated targets classified as terrorists or terror suspects. This authority, falling under the executive branch of the U.S. government, has seen the use of drones in many areas of the world without any disclosure of how many suspects have been targeted and exactly where drones have or have not been used.
The question facing American lawmakers is two-fold.
The first concern focuses on the authority of the president to unilaterally approve the use of drones and the second, far broader concern, is whether drone technology is truly legal, ethical and wise, as White House spokesman James Carney stated.
One of the key aspects of calculating the use of force since the end of the Second World War has been the perceived value and sanctity of human life, especially to civilians and non-combatants. Conventions, laws, covenants and charters have all been written since 1945 in efforts not to repeat the large-scale loss of life seen in the war, which included by both the Allied and Axis powers the arbitrary targeting of civilians.
As norms and legal frameworks regarding warfare and violence evolved, technology was developed to ensure that states, especially powerful states, were able to wage war if necessary, but in ways that would greatly reduce the human and civilian costs.
Nuclear arms are a clear exception to this rule, but the fact that these weapons have only ever been used twice in human history is a clear indication that no state or state leader has been willing to inflict such massive devastation in the name of war.
Cruise missiles, covert assassinations, and precision bombing are only a few methods that states have developed to minimize collateral damage when employing the tools of war.
Drone technology is a recent development in this long line of tools, but drones challenge some of the fundamental assumptions regarding the use of violence, including most importantly how convenient it is for a state to target others without their own soldiers or agents being at risk. The cost-benefit analysis of war now alters based on the fact that human costs for one state are now totally removed from the equation.
Under post-9/11 laws, the legal case for drone strikes can be made, as can the wisdom of their use when American military personnel will not be put in harm's way. The biggest question that Congress, American citizens, and all observers must focus on is the ethical dilemma posed by developments in drone technology. History has shown that our current conceptions of unmanned drones will improve and will not be exclusive to one or a few states for very long. It is highly doubtful that American leaders would be as comfortable with a Chinese, Iranian or North Korean drone.
Robert W. Murray is an adjunct professor of political science in the department of political science at the University of Alberta.

EbolaNIAID/GSK experimental Ebola vaccine appears safe, prompts immune response
An experimental vaccine to prevent Ebola virus disease was well-tolerated and produced immune system responses in all twenty healthy adults who received it in a phase 1 clinical trial conducted by researchers from the National Institutes of Health. The results from the NIH Phase 1 clinical trial will support accelerated development of candidate vaccine.
Emerging diseaseDeveloping a global workforce to tackle emerging pandemic threats
When a new pandemic threat like this year's Ebola outbreak emerges, the importance of preventing and limiting disease spread becomes apparent. Well-trained global health professionals play a key role in preventing and responding to emerging zoonotic disease. Under a new 5-year award of up to $50 million, the University of Minnesota and Tufts University will be part of an international partnership of universities to strengthen global workforce development against emerging pandemic threats.
EpidemicsPublic health officials work to ensure that the lessons of Ebola are not forgotten
Hospitals find it difficult to remain fully prepared for disease outbreaks because they rarely occur and preparation and frequent training are expensive. Public health professionals and infectious disease experts are working to ensure that lessons learned and protocols put in place in response to the Ebola outbreak will be used to prevent and respond to future virus and disease outbreaks.
Public healthPre-empting flu evolution may make for better vaccines
Influenza is a notoriously difficult virus against which to vaccinate. There are many different strains circulating — both in human and animal populations — and these strains themselves evolve rapidly. Yet manufacturers, who need to produce around 350 million doses ahead of the annual flu season, must know which strain to put in the vaccine months in advance — during which time the circulating viruses can evolve again. An international team of researchers has shown that it may be possible to improve the effectiveness of the seasonal flu vaccine by "pre-empting" the evolution of the influenza virus.
EbolaScientists identify weak spots in Ebola's defenses
Scientists have identified weak spots on the surface of Ebola virus that are targeted by the antibodies in ZMapp, the experimental drug cocktail administered to several patients during the recent Ebola outbreak. "The structural images of Ebola virus are like enemy reconnaissance," said one of the scientists involved in the research. "They tell us exactly where to target antibodies or drugs."
EbolaUsing data to fight Ebola
The current Ebola outbreak is the largest in recorded history, claiming more victims than all previous twenty major outbreaks combined since Ebola was discovered in 1976. Governments and the private sector are using the latest data technology to process, store, and analyze information and communication records from Ebola-stricken countries to help locate and predict the spread of the disease.
EbolaEbola's 'other' victims: how the outbreak affects those left behind
Media coverage of the growing Ebola epidemic in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia has presented world audiences with apocalyptic predictions of ultimate death tolls and grisly imaginings of its spread to other shores. But we've heard little about the people left behind. What impacts has the epidemic had on their livelihoods? For many among the twenty-five million people of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, Ebola is not just an epidemiological terror, it is also a socioeconomic disaster. Dealing with setbacks in achieving regional development priorities is both secondary to, and dependent upon, coping with the immediate effects of near-total economic shutdown. The Ebola crisis thus presents a cruel paradox. Efforts desperately needed to contain the infection of thousands are simultaneously causing major, and in some cases severe, economic hardship for a population of millions. The international Ebola response will need to continue well after the crisis has faded from world news reports.
EbolaThe economics of Ebola
Economists are being called upon to estimate the costs of the Ebola epidemic to West Africa and elsewhere. Economists, however, should also play a part in estimating the likelihood of the disease spreading. Economics is the study of incentives, and many biological models of the spread of the disease may be underestimating the impact of individual incentives. Based on cost-benefit analysis, the potential costs of Ebola spreading are extremely high and the risks may be much higher than they are currently portrayed. Voters and donors should support greater efforts to end Ebola in West Africa. As International Monetary Fund director Christine Lagarde says, "real action" is needed to counter the outbreak. Without such action Ebola places the global economy at risk.
EbolaU.S. will not see an Ebola epidemic – not even a serious outbreak: Scientists
Twenty-five years ago, the United States experienced its first Ebola outbreak in a Reston, Virginia primate facility which shipped animals to research labs throughout the country. Jerry Jaax, one of the scientists who worked at the primate facility at the time and who is now an associate vice president for research compliance and university veterinarian at Kansas State University, believes that the United States is well prepared to handle the Ebola virus. "We won't have an epidemic or even a serious outbreak," said Jerry Jaax. "The thing about it is we've got a zero risk tolerance bar that we set that says we can't afford to have one person get infected or it's a disaster. You can't ever say never in biology and there are a lot of wild cards thrown in there, but I think basically the United States is ready."
EbolaEbola discussion in U.S. driven by fear, not science: Infectious disease experts
A significant part of the Ebola debate in the United States has been driven by fear, not science, according to infectious disease experts. Despite assurances from public health officials, the general public continues to be fearful of an Ebola outbreak in the United States. Some states have imposed mandatory quarantines for all healthcare workers returning from Ebola-stricken West Africa, even if they show no symptoms."The fear is trumping science," said Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.
AgroterrorismProtecting the U.S. food supply from agroterrorism
"For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do," said Tommy Thompson during his 2004 farewell speech when he left his post as U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services. Documents found in a 2002 U.S. military raid on an al-Qaeda warehouse showed that terrorists sought to contaminate the U.S. food supplies. The documents included detailed instructions for attacking U.S. agricultural assets. Researchers at the University of California-Davis' Western Institute for Food Safety and Security(WIFSS) are studying vulnerabilities of the U.S. agricultural system to the threats of agroterrorism.
EbolaUse of Ebola virus as bioterror weapon highly unlikely: Experts
Francisco Martinez, Spain's state secretary for security, claimed that ISIS fighters are planning to carry out "lone wolf" attacks using biological weapons. He cites conversations uncovered from secret chat rooms used by would-be militants. Bioterrorism experts say the use of Ebola for bioterrorism is highly unlikely. "Assuming a terrorist organization manages to capture a suitable Ebola host, extract the virus, weaponize the virus, transport the virus to a populated city and deliver the virus, it is entirely likely that the sub-optimal climatic conditions of a Western city will kill it off relatively quickly," says one expert.
BioterrorismRicin vaccine shows promise in pilot study
Ricin is a highly lethal toxin derived from the seeds of the castor oil plant. A dose of purified ricin powder the size of a few grains of table salt can kill an adult. Due to its toxicity and the ubiquity of source material, it's considered a leading bioterrorism threat. A recent study at the Tulane National Primate Research Center showed for the first time that an experimental vaccine could completely protect nonhuman primates exposed to deadly ricin toxin, a potential bioterrorism agent.
EbolaFast-spreading killers: how Ebola compares with other diseases
The West African outbreak of Ebola has claimed more than 4,800 lives and this number is sure to rise. There is understandably a lot of fear about Ebola, but how does it actually comp re with other fast-spreading infectious diseases? While bubonic plague is bacterial, all of the other infections mentioned below – influenza, Bird Flu, SARS, Ebola, and HIV/AIDS — are viral. Yellow fever was the first human virus to be discovered in 1901. Since then more than 200 have been recognized. Ebola has all the epidemiological characteristics of a containable infection, but it is only now spreading to developed countries that have no experience of dealing with it. The desirable strategy, from global health and humanitarian perspectives, is to eliminate the epidemic at its source.
EbolaFunding cuts hamper health agencies' ability to prepare for, respond to Ebola
Federal and state funds for local health agencies have been cut over the past few years, so when hospitals and municipal health agencies are asked proactively to respond to possible threats of Ebola, many question how they will fund such activities. Since 2008, at least 51,000 state and local public health jobs (roughly 20 percent) have been lost due to cuts in federal funding.

'Threat vigilance' can also help reduce risk
soldiers 521.

Through a combination of genetic and psychological testing, Tel Aviv University researchers have identified factors that reduce the risk among combat soldiers of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study was conducted on 1,100 new Israel Defense Forces (IDF) infantry recruits.The important discovery has just been published in the February 13th issue of the ITALJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) END ITAL by TAU's School of Psychological Sciences Prof. Yair Bar-Haim and doctoral student Ilan Wald. Their research was conducted in collaboration with the IDF, the US National Institutes of Mental Health and New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine.Soldiers have a high probability of experiencing traumatic events, explained Bar-Haim, so a susceptible subgroup is practically bound to develop the disorder. However, the onset of PTSD -- a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any traumatic event and includes nightmares, flashbacks, sleep problems, hypervigilance and other symptoms -- is unpredictable.Because it depends on the unforeseeable occurrence of traumatic events, it is difficult to identify preventative or causative factors, the researchers said. Scientists typically study people who have already developed PTSD rather than look at people who have not yet developed PTSD but may be at risk of experiencing psychological trauma. As soldiers have a high probability of experiencing traumatic events, members of a susceptible subgroup are more likely than others to develop the disorder.The TAU-led researchers discovered that excessive vigilance from threats -- a behavior typically associated with elevated anxiety in everyday life -- is a normal response in soldiers during combat deployment. In combat, they found, those soldiers who avoided threats were more likely to develop PTSD as a result of traumatic experiences.Through "attention-bias modification training" – which trains participants to direct their attention either towards or away from threatening stimuli – soldiers were able to learn to increase their vigilance towards threats before they were deployed, possibly reducing their risk for PTSD. Bar-Haim noted that this discovery could prove valuable in preventing PTSD in groups that are more likely to be exposed to traumatic situations.To explore the causative factors of PTSD, Bar-Haim and his colleagues designed a study of 1,100 new infantry recruits, each of whom underwent testing first at the time of recruitment, again after basic training and finally six months into their deployment in a conflict zone.Several major vulnerability and resilience factors were measured -- self-reported symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD; threat-related attention bias; combat exposure; and genetic markers that indicate a tendency towards anxiety.The researchers noticed that where computer-based testing revealed a strong vigilance towards threats during deployment, the soldier was much less likely to develop PTSD. That discovery corresponded to significant genetic findings about the serotonin transporter gene, which plays a key role in the control of serotonin availability in the brain and modulates important psychological functions such as mood, appetite, and sleep.The gene has three variants -- short/short, short/long and long/long. The short/short variant of the gene is associated with enhanced threat vigilance and a higher incidence of anxiety and depression in everyday conditions. But in war zones, soldiers who carried the short/short variant of the gene were actually at an advantage, since their attuned attention towards threat protected them from developing PTSD in traumatic situations.In Israel, which has gone through many decades and terror campaigns, PTSD symptoms affect about six to seven percent of the general population. For foreign soldiers serving in active war zones like Iraq or Afghanistan, the rate is much higher and could reach up to 20%, reported Bar-Haim.Bar-Haim thanked the IDF and US Army for recognizing the importance of his research and therefore participated. "They are on the front line of science in trying to understand risk and resilience factors," he said.Identifying this protective factor is a first step towards preventative treatment, the TAU professor said. Teaching soldiers to be more sensitive to threats prior to deployment could reduce the overall risk of developing PTSD. The researchers are currently developing a study that will test different preventative treatment options and hope to have results in the next few years.

Bublil of 'Big Brother' runs for Knesset
Likud Minister Moshe Kahlon 311.
(photo credit:Avi Hayun)
Big Brother reality TV program star Yossi Bublil made an alliance with "Friedmans" on Thursday, running for Knesset with Calcala, bringing the American led party unprecedented attention.Also on Thursday, two fake Facebook accounts for popular Communications Minister Moshe Kahlon endorsed the relatively unknown Calcala Party and referred to its leader Daniel Goldstein as a close friend.Calcala was founded earlier this year by brothers Daniel and Benny Goldstein, mattress importers who hail from Maine, as an economy-focused party using American ideas. Bublil, who came in second place on the first season of Big Brother and is now in the third spot on the Calcala candidates list, is known for his colorful language and coined the derogatory term "Friedmans" for Ashkenazi Jews.The Goldsteins and Bublil all live in Ashkelon. Benny Goldstein said he was not aware that his neighbor is famous, though he called Bublil "known and beloved" and a "reality star" in the statement he sent to the press on Thursday."What American watches Big Brother?" Goldstein asked. "We just knew Bublil is smart, decent and practical.He's a contractor that comes to talk to us with paint on his clothes and shoes."Meanwhile, Bublil used the imaginative metaphors that made him famous, saying "I'm not a wolf or a rabbit but a spur that will make it with Calcala. I have no doubt we will surprise everyone in this election."Bublil explained that as a contractor and businessman, the economy is a topic close to his heart, and he hopes to fight the "suffering and hardship" Israeli business owners face."In Israeli politics, if you don't shout, no one hears you. I think that since I am well known, I can help [Calcala]," he said.Meanwhile, Goldstein claimed not to know about two fake Facebook accounts for Kahlon, who was the subject of a media frenzy last week surrounding rumors he might leave the Likud.The two almost-identical Facebook accounts featured the following status on Thursday: "To my friend Daniel Goldstein, I was happy to hear of your decision to leave the US and run in the Israeli election with the new party Calcala. Your job is to stand with the citizens. Good luck."Another status quoted a statement by Kahlon from earlier this week that he is remaining in the Likud, but added: "My dear friend Mr.Daniel Goldstein, who decided to run in the election as the chairman of the Calcala Party. I wish him much luck and invite him to join [the Likud] in the coalition."Benny Goldstein denied Calcala had anything to do with the fake Facebook pages, but soon after said a party activist created them without consulting him or his brother, and they would be taken down in a few minutes.Hours later, the pages were still active, and an article on Bublil's decision to join the party was posted on one of them.Goldstein claimed he and Kahlon met recently, and became good friends."I don't know anything about the Facebook pages; that's not our style," he said."We might to unordinary things in our campaign, but this is not us."Kahlon's spokesman said the minister does not have a Facebook page, and would not comment on the fake accounts.

Would You Quit Your Job and Go to Pastry School?
I was listening to NPR the other day, when I heard a story about how many white-collar professionals are swapping their power suits for aprons. The folks behind Sprinkles Cupcakes did it, and they're not the only ones. In fact, the California School of Culinary Arts just added their first evening and weekend patisserie program. Rebecca Mars of CSCA, said:
"They're now wanting to pursue maybe a passion they've always had... Now they've seen some success with other businesses like Sprinkles, and they've seen that they're successful and think they could probably be as well."
Why folks are doing this, no one's really sure. Maybe it's because everyone is currently "self-medicating" with sweets, and people want in on the trend before it's over. No matter what the cause, I think it's fantastic. Although it does make me wonder just how many cupcake shops one town needs...
How about you, would you quit your job and go to pastry school?

Fat Can Affect Brain's Perception of Flavour: Study
*Image courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
*Text Courtesy IANS
Fat can reduce activity in several brain areas responsible for processing taste, aroma and reward, says the first ever study on the subject.
The research, carried out by the Britain's University of Nottingham and food major Unilever, provides the food industry with better understanding of how in the future it might be able to make healthier, less fatty food products without affecting their overall taste and enjoyment.
This three-year study investigated how the brains of a group of participants in their 20s would respond to changes in the fat content of four different fruit emulsions they tasted while under an MRI scanner, the journal Chemosensory Perception reports.
All four samples were of the same thickness and sweetness, but one contained flavour with no fat, while the other three contained fat with different flavour release properties, according to a Nottingham statement.
The areas of the participants' brains which are responsible for the perception of flavour, were significantly more activated when the non-fatty sample was tested compared to the fatty emulsions despite having the same flavour perception.
Joanne Hort, associate professor in sensory science at Nottingham said: "This is the first brain study to assess the effect of fat on the processing of flavour perception."
Unilever food scientist Johanneke Busch, based in Vlaardingen, Netherlands, added: "There is more to people's enjoyment of food than the product's flavour, like its mouthfeel, its texture and whether it satisfies hunger, so this is a very important building block for us to better understand how to innovate and manufacture healthier food products which people want to buy."

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?
Oct 26, 2011
In a blog post on September 25th, streaming media expert and EVP of streamingmedia.com, Dan Rayburn, stated that the Amazon Kindle Fire "could be to the video industry what the iPod was to the music industry."
Rayburn, who is also the program chair for the Streaming Media West conference in LA in two weeks, stated:
"Kindle Fire's are going to sell like crazy and Amazon is going to do something even Apple couldn't do and that's jump-start the streaming media industry to all kinds of new growth and consumption of video related content. And that growth is going to help not only content owners but also all of the vendors who help those content owners create, ingest, transcode, store, manage, protect, monetize, distribute and track their content. Within the next two years, the Kindle Fire is going to become to the online video industry what Apple's iPod was to the music industry. Many times I am asked what the next catalyst is for the streaming media industry and without a doubt, my answer would be Amazon."
While Apple's iPad has certainly launched and dominated the tablet craze, Rayburn suggests that Amazon's unique position in the online video marketplace (among other things, they've got more than 12,000 movies and TV shows available for free with Amazon Prime), and their push to make video viewing a priority, will be the difference maker.
The Amazon Kindle Fire goes on sale November 15. Some leaked sales figures suggest that the Kindle Fire could be on pace to outsell the iPad as the biggest tablet launch ever.
You can read more from Dan Rayburn at his Business of Online Video blog and at StreamingMedia.com. You can also see the latest in online video and connected TV at Streaming Media East and West.
