The Transpacific Stabilization Agreement is recommending its 15 ocean carrier members implement a general rate increase on Dec. 15.
No rapid conclusion is expected in labor contract talks that have been ongoing for six months.
Liner carriers in the transpacific say they will begin to impose a $1,000-per-FEU surcharge on Monday.
A congressional watchdog agency said the Agency for International Development could do more to assist AGOA countries develop export strategies.
Arkansas-based intermodal carrier sees growth in all divisions, aided by lower fuel prices, but offset by increased costs in hiring and retaining drivers.
Railroad sees increased volumes in nearly all commodity groups.

There are so many things I could write about today. The fact that AJ Burnett is either delusional or his therapist told him to repeat positive affirmations to anyone and everyone. The fact that the World Class Good Guy seems to be morphing into a World Class Bad Guy before our very eyes. The fact that Mat Latos is on a bizarre anti-SF rampage. And then the whole, "is Aaron Rowand mad?" thing (although no one except me seems that fascinated by that). What I actually want to write about is the thing that made me wonder if there was indeed a minimum age to be in the Majors. Apparently, they let pre-adolescents in. Or at least, people with very preadolescent senses of humor.
Andrew Baggerly of the San Jose Mercury News (who, by the way, is killing all the other writers with his coverage of Spring Training) reports that Brian Wilson's new ride is a fully decked out police cruiser. With a loudspeaker. On which he announces his arrival in the morning with, "I'm heeeere!"
If I gave my little brother a toy police cruiser for his birthday, yes, he might do that. But that is no excuse for Brian. My brother is 20-odd years younger than him. That's not what they mean when they say, "unlock the child within you". At least I hope it isn't.
If he thinks the Obamas having a water dog is not cool, then I would like to say that driving a police cruiser is, um, not cool either. Just saying. Don't want to get arrested. Don't want to get arrested. Don't want to get put in Bad Fan Prison. But that is not cool.
So, of course, I made him a list of 5 cooler cars. If you are slightly or very puzzled by this and the last paragraph, watch this quick episode of Life of Brian.
5. Ferrari. I don't actually get the obsession with Ferrari's and that they're everybody's dream car. Except for the name. I melt for Italian names. (My father just alerted me that his parents had several Ferraris, which I was not previously aware of. I know about the Emilio Pucci dresses and the Chanel boots they have passed down, but, until now, nothing about the hip cars.)
4. Prius. This is the cool of the future. ::Joe Martinez yells, "The car from the Ghost Writer!" I ignore:: Set the trends, Willy!
3. A Chrysler. I am being a shameless ad sucker here, but I am still into that Superbowl Chrysler ad.
2. An old school VW bus. You know, the kind Timmy wanted. They may not think that's cool down in Hollywood but it's way cool up here.
1. And Joe said that coolest one of all. The car from The Ghost Writer. I have referenced this before, here. That beautiful car has an intelligent GPS that will lead you to the murder spot of your predecessor at work. If that isn't cool, what is?
There. No one can accuse me of not giving useful advice now. I just got you your baseball news and a list of cool cars, lumped into one.
I am calling grocery stores all over the Bay Area trying to find one that stocks mass amounts of popcorn. This Michael Young saga may last a long time. I still have my Team Jon shirt, but I've run out of popcorn. Over or under, 40 days and 40 nights? 'Cause I need to know so I can stock up.

Groupon shares dive on wider 4th-quarter loss, weak outlook
BY SANDRA GUY Business Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com February 27, 2013 3:38PM
Groupon headquarters in Chicago.
Article Extras
Updated: April 1, 2013 11:54AM
No sooner had a few analysts goosed Groupon's stock price with optimistic forecasts than the reality of the Chicago daily deals site's financial results released Wednesday sent the stock plunging.
Chicago-based Groupon's stock is down $1.14, or 19.1 percent, at $4.84 in afternoon trading. Shares dropped 25 percent at the opening bell Thursday after the company released financial results Wednesday.
Groupon forecast sales and operating results far less than analysts had anticipated and reported a widening net loss.
Groupon said it expected first-quarter revenue to be $560 million to $610 million — short of analysts' consensus projections of $650 million.
Heightening the concern was Groupon's net loss in the holiday-influenced fourth quarter: The $81.1 million loss was greater than the year ago's $65.4 million loss and free cash flow dropped 83 percent from a year ago to $25.7 million.
No one appears to be looking for a quick turnaround.
Analyst Sameet Sinha of B. Riley & Co. said he doesn't expect to see Groupon make further improvements until the second half of the year, since productivity and efficiency solutions take a long time to implement.
Two analysts said late Wednesday they considered the fourth quarter to be a mixed bag because revenues grew 30 percent from a year earlier, to $638.3 million, in line with Groupon's forecasts.
The issue that drove down the stock was the first-quarter outlook, which shows that customers are cutting back their spending more drastically than expected after the holidays, said Edward Woo, senior research analyst at Ascendiant Capital Markets.
Other concerns are Groupon's weak international business and its strategy of taking a smaller cut of its daily deal revenues from merchants in an effort to keep the merchants it has and attract new ones. That strategy hurt profits.
The disappointing results, on top of a similarly weak report in the third quarter, led to continued speculation about how long CEO Andrew Mason can hang on. Analysts said late Wednesday they expect Mason to last at least one more quarter because the company is experimenting with the right business model and the right mix of goods to sell in a changing environment.
An obvious signal of Mason's vulnerability, however, was the debut of Groupon Chief Operating Officer Kal Raman, considered a successor to the quirky and controversial Mason, on the earnings call. Raman said he believes Groupon can realize huge opportunities from further automating operations.
Raman said international operations require more work to be comparable to the North American business, and that a turnaround will take time.
"My focus is on technology and improving efficiency," Raman said, calling the strategy "one playbook."
Mason sought to put a favorable light on the latest quarterly numbers, saying, "Record billings growth this quarter is a clear signal that customers love Groupons."
Mason said the company is diversifying away from its daily emails, attracting a wider audience with a mobile strategy and a searchable web marketplace. Nearly 40 percent of Groupon's North American transactions are conducted on mobile devices, and its new web-search functions are proving popular, he said.
"Email now drives 50 percent of our transactions," Mason said. "It's hard to believe that just a short time ago we were a deal-a-day business."
Analysts had expected a better showing, with two raising their outlooks prior to the earnings announcement.
Shares soared nearly 8 percent Wednesday to $5.98 ahead of the earnings call.
Groupon's stock had more than doubled in recent months from a 52-week low in November. Yet the company, troubled by concerns that its constant business-model experiments cannot sustain it longterm, is trading 78 percent lower than its November 2011 initial public offering debut price of $20.

Pre-season and regular season are different. Once the regular season starts, you should get all out-of-market games other than Saturdays during the day, when FOX has their national broadcasts.
What I'm trying to get it, if you have NHL Center Ice or NBA League Pass and the game you want to watch is on NHL Network or NBA TV (assuming you aren't in the teams market) you are blacked out from watching the RSN broadcasts.
Last year if you had MLB Extra Innings and the game you wanted to watch was on MLB Network you could still watch the game on the RSN. I'm just worried this changed recently because the FS Florida broadcast was on MLB Network and I was blacked out of the FS Florida broadcast on FS Florida.
I despise watching games (errr constant stats and advertisements) on any of the pro-networks.

The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur has been redesigned, following in the tire tracks of the Continental GT's recent update. There's fresh styling outside that evolves the look, a more cosseting rear compartment inside, and a mellower suspension setup that reflects the Spur's status as a chauffeur-driven machine in most markets -- particularly China...Read more
The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur has expunged "Continental" from its name, but this sedan is still a sibling to Bentley's popular Continental GT. That means it's the more affordably priced four-door Bentley -- at least compared with the Mulsanne. Nonetheless, the tab for a 2014 Bentley Flying Spur will still run you something north of a quarter-million dollars. The Flying Spur is offered in two specifications: the standard Flying Spur and the 2014 Bentley Flying Spur W12 Mulliner. Highlights of the Mulliner (the name comes from Bentley's longtime coachbuilder) include 21-inch wheels, diamond-quilted upholstery, drilled aluminum pedals, and a knurled wood shift lever.
The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur again uses the unusual W-12 engine, turbocharged to deliver towering figures of 616 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque -- equivalent to the Speed engine in the Continental. That prodigious output, distilled via a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission, means that the heavyweight Flying Spur (which is 5445 pounds) can blast from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. Top speed is an even 200 mph. As it is on the Continental, all-wheel drive is standard here, with a sporty, rear-biased 40/60 torque split. Unsurprisingly, this large, powerful engine in such a large, heavy car results in a large appetite for gasoline: expect 12/20 mpg city/highway, according to the EPA.
While this powertrain is essentially carryover, what's new and different is the styling. It's best described as a highly recognizable evolution of the previous car. New creases and more pronounced rear fenders help balance out the proportions of the previously front-heavy design. That renewed emphasis on the rear is echoed inside, where the back seat boasts increased legroom, reclining seatbacks, fold-out tables, and touchscreens to operate the audio and climate controls.
The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur exists for buyers who have taken the Mercedes-Benz S-Class/BMW 7 Series/Audi A8 thing to its logical conclusion, or to those who are seeking something a little more special than even the topmost offerings of the mainstream luxury marques. Indeed, the Bentley's interior finishes are on a different plane, with handcraftsmanship and buyer customization featuring prominently. What you are not buying here is the very latest in technical gadgetry. Although navigation with an eight-inch touchscreen is standard, one must pay extra for a backup camera, adaptive cruise control, and the audiophile Naim stereo. Missing entirely are surround-view cameras, a blind-spot warning system, and precollision braking.

Building a CHEAP computer
Posted 11 April 2012 - 11:18 AM
So I just want to buy her the cheapest AM3 board I can and about 4GB of DDR3 memory. I'm not even buying a CPU, as I'll give her mine and get myself a Phenom II 970.
I already have everything else: Just need those two components.
So my question is: Does anyone know of anything cheaper than my list so far?
The technical requirements of what I'm looking for are:
DDR3 1333-1600 memory, 2x2GB (total 4GB)
At least one PCI-Ex16 slot (for my GTS 250 to go into hers)
AM3 socket (for my 555 BE- Doesn't have to have core unlocker, but if ti does for the same price as one without, that'll work.)
Cannot be cheaply made: If it's going to die 6 months after I buy it: I'd rather pay the extra: But it doesn't have to be a performance component either.
And that's all: If it fits those specs, there's very little I will turn down.
Here's what I've decided to go with so far, wondering if you guys can find a cheaper/better deal:
Biostar Micro ATX mobo
$GB G Skill- DDR3-1333
I'll even take local store recommendations, although keep in mind many stores may not be in my area (Washington, PA- Pittsburgh, PA: I'm smack dab in the middle of the two.)

I won't be posting a WTB here in forums because I'm not really on a timeline. I might do this now, I might do it in a month. It all depends on when I find a good deal and have some cash sitting in my wallet.
She doesn't even want me to upgrade it in the first place, but I always have to go over and help her when it freezes up on her (has 312MB RAM- I know that sounds impossible but she really does.. It's a bunch of cheap crap in odd sizes).. So whether or not she thinks it's worth paying for, it's coming out of my wallet and will help us both.
But because of this, it's not a "I have to do this right now" kinda thing, it can wait if no easy deals come along when I have the cash to spare.

Deep V-Neck Maxi Dress
I purchased this in the blue and it is one of my favorite purchases from bebe ever. The picture does it no justice. The fabric appears to be cotton and look kinda cheap online but in person, it is a beautiful silky/soft heavy fabric that has a hint of shine to it. I am 5'1 small waist and small bust. I find that a "u-shaped" plunge bra works best with this one, because of the low neckline. I got the XS and it fits true to size. I did have to get quite a bit hemmed off the bottom. Also, there is a elegant side slit that is kinda hidden in the pic. Overall , I would highly recommend this dress!! Great for summer/spring weddings!

One of my Fave Bebe Dresses of all time! Runs a bit too long unless you're rocking 6 inch stilettos. I'm 5'7" and it still drags with 4 inch heels. Very figure flattering and I can imagine very forgiving!

As good as it looks!
I tried it on and it looked amazing! The cut is flattering and the fabric looks just as it is pictured in the photo.

From the outset, the gallery has striven to showcase the works of leading Canadian artists, including painters and glass artists. In 1994, our second location was opened in heart of down town Victoria, on the corner of Broad and View. Although most of the artists' works are represented in both galleries, the expansion has allowed West End Gallery to cater to the specific art needs of its clients in both western provinces. The gallery has an impressive stable of renowned, contemporary Canadian artists - many internationally recognized and considered important additions to any serious collectors acquisitions. Our artists range from high realism to still life, figurative to landscape to abstract. West End Gallery plays host to an educated and discerning clientele, hosting two monthly solo exhibitions of artists for veterans and new-comers to the Canadian art scene.

Daniel Carcillo's last-minute goal extends Blackhawks' streak to 24
BY MARK LAZERUS email@example.com March 6, 2013 9:24PM
The Hawks celebrate with a group hug after winger Daniel Carcillo scored the winning goal with less than a minute left in the third period to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche Wednesday March 6, 2013 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: March 12, 2013 2:18PM
Marian Hossa was out, a last-minute scratch with an upper-body injury. Michael Frolik was still out with an illness. Andrew Shaw missed the third period, taken out with a big hit late in the second period. And Patrick Sharp left the ice in agony with a serious injury after being sandwiched along the boards midway through the third period. Down the stretch in the third period on the second night of a back-to-back set, the Hawks were down to just nine forwards.
On top of that, the Blackhawks had spent most of the game being out-worked and out-hustled by the Colorado Avalanche.
Yet the Hawks still managed to keep the streak alive.
Daniel Carcillo backhanded in a rebound with 49.3 seconds left in the third period and the Hawks pulled off an improbable 3-2 victory Wednesday night. The win extended their NHL-record season-opening point streak to 24 games, and their franchise-record win streak to 11. They now have a point in 30 straight regular-season games dating back to last season, five off the NHL record.
With the season half over, the Hawks have yet to lose a game in regulation.
"We never go away, we never give up, we keep coming at them," said captain Jonathan Toews, whose shorthanded goal at 2:19 of the third tied the game at 2-2. "Whether we have guys injured and only have basically three lines, we keep coming at them. … Heck of a game, heck of a finish, and another exciting win for our fans."
But extending the record further — the Hawks fly to Denver on Thursday for Friday's rematch — could be more difficult than ever.
Sharp will "miss some time," according to Hawks coach Joel Quenneville, after being sandwiched along the boards by Colorado's Ryan O'Byrne with 11 minutes left in the game. Sharp left for the dressing room hunched over in pain, holding his left arm.
Shaw — who scored the first goal of the game on a first-period power play — took a hit to or near the head by Paul Stastny late in the second period and didn't return. Quenneville said he'll be re-evaluated on Thursday, but that it's "not too bad."
And Hossa, who came out for pregame warmups, was a last-minute scratch. Quenneville seemed to think he'd be fine to play Friday at Colorado. After sending Brandon Bollig to Rockford earlier in the day to make room for defenseman Steve Montador, Quenneville said he's "got some guys" and said a roster move wasn't necessarily imminent.
As for the game, the Hawks looked a bit off from the start, with neither the intensity of Sunday's Detroit game, nor the emotion of Tuesday's Hossa celebration game, nor the safe, smart play that has marked this unprecedented start to the season. But Shaw's goal — a tip-in of a Seabrook shot after Seabrook drew a retaliatory penalty for dumping Colorado's David Jones into the Avs bench — gave the Hawks a 1-0 lead midway through the first.
But Colorado's John Mitchell tied it with 1:40 left in the first, and Matt Duchene made it 2-1 at 13:17 of the second. In the second, only Sharp showed much pep in his step, creating three great scoring chances and firing four shots.
The Hawks went into intermission trailing for just the fourth time all year. But there was no panic.
"The mood was very positive, very upbeat," Toews said. "We kind of just checked ourselves and realized, hey, you know, let's go out there and put the pressure on them. It's our building, we've been in this situation many times this year. We didn't feel any pressure. We just went out there and worked. We're confident if we do that, things can go our way."
And they did. With Michal Rozsival in the penalty box for hooking Matt Duchene on a breakaway attempt that ended in a nice Emery save, Toews scored a shorthanded goal just 2:19 into the third period to tie it at 2-2.
The intensity on both ends picked up from there, until Carcillo — who started on the top line with Hossa out — backhanded in a Viktor Stalberg rebound with 49.3 seconds left. It was Carcillo's his first goal since Nov. 13, 2011. After dealing with a torn ACL that ended last season on Jan. 2, and another leg injury that cost him 15 games this season, Carcillo said it "was a long time coming."
"Seems like forever," he said. "It's a big weight off my shoulders. I want to be more than just an enforcer on this team. Just to be able to step in with some key guys that went down and help the team any way I can in this particular situation, scoring the game-winner, that's what we play for."
Through injuries and adversity, nothing seems to change. It's the next man in, the next game up.
"A lot of people might think we're pulling that game out of you-know-where, but really, we're working for it," Toews said. "There's no special equation or whatever, no magic. Just work ethic. It's the depth of our team kicking in."

"Do they make condoms for girls?"
Female condoms aren't perfect. No form of contraception is, though some are more effective than others. Over the course of a year of using female condoms, about 1 in 5 couples will have an unintended pregnancy. Male condoms are somewhat more effective but again, thats only if they are used properly.
And just in case you were wondering, using a male and a female condom at the same time is not more effective. It actually can compromise the effectiveness of both the male and female condom because they can get stuck together and cause one or the other to slip during intercourse.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Welcome to the website of The Postal Regulatory Commission. Skip directly to the content.
The Commission is an independent agency that has exercised regulatory oversight over the Postal Service since its creation by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970. Initially, that oversight consisted primarily of conducting public, on-the-record hearings concerning proposed rate, mail classification or major service changes, and recommending decisions for action by the postal Governors.
The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) enacted on December 20, 2006, significantly strengthened the Commission's authority to serve as a counterbalance to new flexibility granted to the Postal Service in setting postal rates. The Act requires the Commission to develop and maintain regulations for a modern system of rate regulation, consult with the Postal Service on delivery service standards and performance measures, consult with the Department of State on international postal policies, prevent cross-subsidization or other anticompetitive postal practices, promote transparency and accountability, and adjudicate complaints.
The law also assigns new and continuing oversight responsibilities to the PRC, including annual determinations of Postal Service compliance with applicable laws, development of accounting practices and procedures for the Postal Service, review of the Universal Service requirement, and assurance of transparency through periodic reports. New enforcement tools include subpoena power, authority to direct the Postal Service to adjust rates and to take other remedial actions, and levying fines in cases of deliberate noncompliance with applicable postal laws.
The Commission is composed of five Commissioners, each of whom is appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for a term of six years. A Commissioner may continue to serve after the expiration of his or her term for up to one year or until a successor is confirmed. No more than three members of the Commission may be from one political party.
Assisting the Commission is a staff with expertise in law, economics, finance, statistics, and cost accounting. The Commission is organized into four operating offices:
The Commission maintains an independent office for its Inspector General.
The Office of Accountability & Compliance is responsible for technical analysis and formulation of policy recommendations for the Commission in both domestic and international matters. It provides the analytic support for Commission review of rate changes, negotiated service agreements, classifications of new products, post office closings, and other issues. The Office evaluates Postal Service accounting records, financial reports, and other financial data to assess accuracy, completeness, and conformance to reporting and procedural standards established by the Commission. This includes reports filed pursuant to SEC rules and procedures. The Office assists the Commission in its annual determinations of compliance with service performance standards and the preparation of the annual report to the President and Congress.
The Office of General Counsel provides legal assistance on matters involving the Commission's responsibilities, defends Commission decisions before the courts, and manages the formal complaint process.
The Office of Public Affairs & Government Relations facilitates prompt and responsive communications for the Commission with the public, Congress and federal agencies, the Postal Service, and information media.
The Office of Secretary & Administration records the official actions of the Commission; preserves Commission documents; maintains personnel records; and provides other support services including managing the Commission's library, docket room, and computers.
The Office of Inspector General conducts, supervises, and coordinates audits and investigations relating to the programs and operations of the Commission, and identifies and reports fraud and abuse in Commission programs and operations.

The Chinese commentator for whom soccer brought pain
"By nature," writes Wu Yuehua in Southern Weekend (Nov 23), "Huang Jianxiang [above] is the product of the television era. He relied on the unmatched popularity of soccer in this country to rise to the top."
Beijing | Roland Soong, author of the EastSouthWestNorth weblog, offers a fascinating account, with translations from Chinese sources, of the downfall of football commentator Huang Jianxiang ("The Media Story of the Soccer Commentator," Nov 26). The handsome, self-assured media personality resigned from the China Central Television sports channel, CCTV-5, on Nov 16. His criticisms of China manager Bora Milutinovic in 2001 and overexuberance in dismissing Australia after a loss to Italy in the most recent World Cup ("It's time for Australia to go home. … Goodbye!") made him stand out in a culture that values humility.
More extraordinary, however, has been the reaction engendered by the 38-year-old Huang's self-defense and fall. As rendered by Soong and other observers of the Chinese press, Huang provides a convenient mirror by which to judge the culture of mainland China at this 21st-century moment. Was he marginalized at CCTV, where reporting ultimately receives guidance from the propaganda ministry of the Communist Party of China? Was he uncentered and overextended, "excessively sensitive, excessively self-confident and excessively defensive," in Soong's translation of a recent profile in the popular Southern Weekend (Wu Yuehua and Shi Xin, "The Wild and Crazy Huang Jianxiang," Nov 23)?
Huang attributes his bizarre commentary during the Italy-Australia match to exhaustion and perhaps to stress related to his divorce earlier this year. He concludes simply, "Soccer brought me pain."
Huang strikes a combative pose in the Sanlian Life Week issue, earlier this year, that included seven articles on Huang and his "passionate commentary."
At least in translation, Huang seems glib and capable of bracing assertions. In 2004, in an interview with Miao Wei and published in Sanlian Life Week earlier this year (see the partial translation of "Huang Jianxiang Isn't Barkley" at the "China Machete" weblog, 10 July 06), Huang gives an account of the so-called China-Qatar incident. Huang "became 'a rat scurrying across the road,' " according to another football journalist, for criticizing Milutinovic during a 2001 World Cup qualifier versus Qatar. Milutinovic would guide China to the 2002 World Cup finals. Huang was suspended for six months.
While admitting he could have been more careful, the broadcaster calls the game his "best-ever commentary" and offers it as a "learning tool" for those studying the broadcasting arts. And he is explicit concerning broadcasting as art as compared to journalism. He tells the interviewer, Miao, "You are a news reporter of the Party, but I'm like an artist. To be a sports commentator, you have to be half-mad."
As to Chinese football, Huang, in the 2004 conversation, recalls predicting that China's final group-stage match in 2002, versus Turkey, would be its last World Cup encounter for 50 years.
Our physical condition is better than that of Japan and Korea—we are taller, stronger and quicker than them. So why can't we play better than them? It is in the bones—minds aren't good enough and our spirit isn't suitable for playing football. The football world can't accept this. Looking at it from a social and cultural perspective, Chinese people don't play football well because, unlike Japan and Korea, we don't have a culture of unity—a selfless and collective spirit. Compared to South America and Africa, we don't have a wild personality and a passionate freedom—we don't have anything like this.
On the surface, it seems like we don't have any individuals. But secretly, we don't have any unity. We [aren't suited for] this kind of collective sport—for a Chinese person, 11 people in a team is too many! If there are only three to five people in a team, then it's still possible to work together.
Notwithstanding his implicit dismissal of the success of Chinese women players, Huang shocks the interviewer with his forthrightness. Miao states that, perhaps in contrast to the firebrand U.S. basketball commentator and ex-player Charles Barkley, Huang "should be more tactful and optimistic."
Superficially, Huang's outbursts remind us of the overheated locutions of Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean before the 2004 primary season in America. Dean, too, suffered consequences. More relevant, though, the Huang situation (is it a situation?) helps reinforce the observations of EastSouthWestNorth author Soong regarding the many sides of Chinese culture often missed in mainstream English-language accounts. In a 2005 interview with the BBC World Service, Soong says he finds the disparities in representations of China disturbing and aims to present "a different kind of China, a more diversified and a more interesting one at that."
Multiple media perspectives emerge from the Huang conundrum (is it a conundrum?). One learns, for example, from sites such as Danwei.org that China has generated an influential sphere of instant reaction and text-messaging. In a Danwei posting on Huang's 2006 World Cup commentary ("Crazy CCTV Football Commentator; Fictional Foreign News?" Jun 27), comments—pro- and anti-Huang—flood in over three days, such that a moderator must close the forum and delete comments "that use descriptions of lecherous … acts to insult either Australians or Italians." China Daily reports on the "netizens" who have resampled Huang's narration to create signature ring tones (Xin Dingding, "Sports Host to Tackle Rumors," Nov 20).
The China Media Project at the University of Hong Kong picks up on Huang's own defense against the culture of e'gao, translated as "spoofing" and seemingly alluding to an unchecked mockery of celebrity figures. In its translation of an editorial from Southern Metropolis Daily (Nov 21), China Media Project notes the contrast between this freewheeling spirit of e'gao and the zhenggao, translated "rigid correctness," at CCTV, with Huang allegedly sandwiched between the two (see "Resignation of Popular Sports Commentator Directs Audience Frustration to CCTV's Political Culture"). The editorial mentions the World Cup controversy and Huang's resignation to posit CCTV as
not only a "work unit" lying somewhere in between the administrative agency and the corporate enterprise, but … a unit lying between the propaganda agency and the media enterprise. This kind of work unit will naturally display a degree of division in the language it broadcasts, for example the strict and sober News Relay versus the Happy Dictionary game show so well liked by ordinary people, and … investigative programs with a strong sense of social responsibility. But compared with the media domain as a whole, CCTV has a definite air of self-righteous superiority.
One further must consider the always complicated relations between interviewer and subject. These relations seem especially volatile between Wu, co-author of the Southern Weekend article translated by Soong, and Huang. Soong includes several pages of exchange between the two on their blogs. Huang calls Wu, among other things, "a dog-fart reporter who does not know Michael Schumacher." She acknowledges puzzlement at Huang's proudful nature, speculating that gender difference plays a role. "[M]any men are like that—full of confidence as well as flaws. Meanwhile, the women can only smile. This is a man's world and this is the mainstream in the world—self-confident, loud, seizing the high point in speech, dominating and commanding. This is the era of the strong." She says that the "wild and crazy" in her article's headline, referring to Huang, "was too kind."
Huang, for his part, seems to be taking the media storm in stride, if one judges by the music playing on launch of his weblog: the Beatles' "Let It Be."
I am very calm right now. My life is very simple. My original home is no longer there. This morning, I took my daughter to kindergarten. Then I read books and got on the Internet. I went out to meet friends. I played soccer. I ate. I picked up my daughter in the afternoon. I played with her. After she went to sleep at night, I watched television. I had some social events. There were some outside activities, such as rehearsing for the comedy cross-talk. I watch soccer on weekends. I update my blog …
The real hero in all this seems to be Soong, 56, tapping away in relative isolation in Hong Kong, supporting his 87-year-old mother and, one hopes, appreciating the humor in addled journalists' war of words. He tells the BBC interviewer, quietly, that he views his dedication to explaining Chinese culture for the English-speaking world as part of life, not special. "I regard life as a series of forking paths, and people basically make decisions at different points in time. This is where I find myself."
Republic of Ireland | Bidding farewell to Lansdowne Road
The stadium with a railway line running beneath will be retired Dec 3 as a ground for football. Derry City FC and Saint Patrick's Athletic FC compete in the FAI Cup final, the last match on a ground first used for soccer in 1900. Ireland played its last rugby test at Lansdowne on Nov 26. Redevelopment of the stadium is scheduled for completion by 2009.
The Dublin stadium, called "the great high altar of rugby" by former Ireland international Tony O'Reilly, hosted its first rugby match in March 1878. The Republic of Ireland had staged international football matches there since the 1970s, although capacity crowds were never possible because of the terraces in the north and south stands. Spectators are required to have seats for competitive internationals.
Plans for a new facility call for a 50,000-capacity all-seater stadium. Rugby and soccer teams will play at the Gaelic Athletic Association's Croke Park until the new Lansdowne Road's completion. (Reuters, Nov 28)

Canada latest entrant into Pacific trade talks
By Patrick Baert (AFP) - 1 minute ago
HONOLULU, Hawaii - Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Sunday that Canada
will enter talks on creating a vast trans-Pacific free trade deal, the
latest boost for the US-led pact after Japan joined negotiations.
Harper, who is attending an Asia-Pacific summit in Hawaii, told
reporters that Canada would formally indicate later Sunday its interest
in joining the negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP.
"We are indicating today our formal intention," Harper told reporters in
Honolulu. "We are expressing our formal intention to join the
Trans-Pacific Partnership."
The TPP was launched in 2005 as an obscure agreement linking Brunei,
Chile, New Zealand and Singapore, but US President Barack Obama after
taking office suddenly turned the agreement into the cornerstone of his
trade policy.
The Obama administration has cast the TPP as a new 21st-century brand of
trade agreement that ensures strict labor and environmental standards
and lays down the rules for trade in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific
Harper said that Obama, in his talks ahead of Sunday's full Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, "was very strongly indicating that
he would like to see Canada join the Trans-Pacific Partnership."
Canada considered "the criteria actually set by the partnership and
they're all criteria that Canada can easily meet, so it is something
that we're interested in moving forward on," Harper said.
Canada already has a free trade agreement with the United States, along
with Mexico, under the landmark North American Free Trade Agreement that
took effect in 1994.
But Japan's entrance into talks has given new momentum to the TPP, which
would be the world's largest free trade area and cover more than
one-third of the global economy.
The countries now involved in TPP are Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan,
Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore the United States and Vietnam.
Canada has previously expressed interest in the TPP but faced opposition
from New Zealand which insisted that Ottawa liberalize its dairy
industry. Under the TPP rules, any country in the talks can block
another entrant.
New Zealand is the world's largest dairy exporter, while Canada tightly
manages its dairy farmers to control supply and demand.
The presence of New Zealand has also fueled opposition in the United
States, where some lawmakers from farm states have vowed to fight the
Japan's main farmers' cooperative is also adamantly opposed to the TPP,
fearing that foreign imports will swamp its historically protected
But Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced Friday on the eve of the
Hawaii summit that he would join the TPP talks, hoping to ensure that
the world's third largest economy is not left behind from regional
The main outlier is China, where state-run media have accused the United
States of using the TPP to counterbalance the rising Asian power.
Despite the spurt in interest in the TPP, most experts believe it will
be years before it can come to fruition. The pact has also come under
fire from consumer activists who say its provisions are vague and could
primarily benefit corporations.
