Cynthia, don't get too hot under the collar. I read the article and did not take it to be overly negative. It seemed to just be stating facts. Of course, the Chinese consume more pork than any other country. There are parts of the world (Muslim) that don't eat pork. There are othe parts of the world where more beef is consumed (US). China has awoken from centuries of sleep and these are the results of its growth. There are over a billion people there that are having a life better than they have had in centuries. China has opened up and let's hope it all works out for the best.
What proportion of the environmental problems noted are caused directly or indirectly by manufacture of cheap consumer goods exported to countries which have abdicated the consequences of consumerism beyond their envinonmentally regulated borders ?
The moral and environmental cost a £5 microchip controlled hand blender may be much more than the headline ticket price
it is funny that for taking half of the world's pork, China is called as a new colonialist.
to be honest, some situations mentioned in this article are true. China has known and is doing effort to improve. but China is so large and has so big population! it is not easy.
finally i want to say the comment and criticism can be accepted. but Chinese can refuse unjust rebuke and unfair treatment.
I found these claims biased and misleading. "The country accounts for about a fifth of the world's population, yet it gobbles up more than half of the world's pork, half of its cement, a third of its steel and over a quarter of its aluminium"
Consuming half of the pork and cement is because westerners don't eat them as much hence they are cheaper. We are only taking what you have left over. Why not calculate the beef and lamb consumption and compare? Steel and aluminium, like Amy said, if you monitor where those go in the end you will find they still return to western countries. China is only the factory. Western countries enjoy the final products.
To be honest I don't understand why there are so many media havoc about the abhorrence of china recently. What they are trying to do is no more than improving the normal Chinese live. Chinese consumption per capita is till far below the world average. People have right to live a better life through hard working right? I think that is human right. Food and shelter, these are the basic human right, yet western media are denying them from Chinese people under the name of human rights. How absurd.
Poor county trading with china will gain because Chinese introduced international competition for commodities. Raw material will be sold at better price with Chinese taking part in. I hate people grab moral high ground immediately when things don't turn out as expected. I always believe these media obsession with china's badness is caused by the re-shuffle of western wealth inside the western society. Some people get rich via china and some people are not happy about it. Chinese people are mass of hard-working diligent people. Why don't you go to see what you can get from it rather than whining under the "democracy" coat? Talking about a richer china, everybody knows who has got the lion share. Chinese government don't want to live in a worsen enviroment either. But westerners want cheaper products, hence there is no money left for the enviroment. If you truly care about chinese people's live, buy expensive chinese product and don't try to inccur price war among the poor chinese factories who fight for your business.
Truly appreciate the objectivity of this article.
China should be responsible for its behavior and I think it starts to realize its responsibility, especially after the severe snowstorm and other environmental disasters. However, as this article indicates, there is still a long way to go.
China is big, actually too big. So many stakeholders are involved in this reform and the relationship is so complicated. Those benefiting from the old system will definitely oppose the new era, and they are very powerful now, stronger than ever before. That's why the central government achieves less than they planed in the government reshuffle this time. As a chinese, though outside China now, I am really looking forward to more changes and a new era to come, not only in environmental protection.
Whereas, I really doubt the so-called "Western democracy and prosperity". If those critics define war in Iraq as "effort to spread democracy and prosperity", then I admit that huge demand of raw materials from China has nothing to do with the democracy and prosperity, as this is just neutral international trade.
Actually, if our demand is really "deploiting" poor countries, it is more rational to trace a step further. Why China desire so much raw materials? We have to manufacture huge amount of goods, especially energy-intensive goods. Why we produce so much? Because we want to promote our economy through export! Don't tell me that domestic consumption is surging or list the private consumption data. Go to check the statistics of the export sector and compare the value, not the growth rate! People will find where most of this demand ultimately comes from.
So who is undermining efforts to spread democracy?
Historically every industrialized nation has treaded the same path on which China finds itself now. The rise of industrial powers such as the United States and Great Britain was no different and air in their cities presumably not any better at that point in time!
Using of economic or military muscle to gain resources is as old as human civilization itself. Western nations have used and continue to use both. One does not have to go beyond looking at the motives behind the Iraq war or the stalled WTO negotiations where EU and the US zealously defend subsidies to their own agriculturists, while exhorting lesser developed nations to drop safeguards. Therefore calling China a 'colonialist' is unfounded.
What has changed however is increased global awareness of the costs of such progress, in terms of the environmental and social impact... which is a good thing! This means that people of countries such as India and China recognizing faster the dangers which unhindered progress may bring! As a citizen of India I share the concerns which the author has expressed in his article.
Continued pressure by citizen action groups, constructive help by developed nations [instead of propping tin pot dictators and lining their pockets with aid money] to help increase use of more 'green' technologies as well as efforts by local governments to channel investments equitably seems to be the answer.
the author of this article did nothing but fling brickbats on China, and what's the purpose of it? wanna wind more readers by rageously being poking nuisances on this country? I have been staying in Beijing for most of the time in a year, taking care of my business here. Enonomist was regarded as a " good " magazine(someone told me that), to my dismay, what I found is not true. You guys got to stay true to what you report... it's stupid just to knock your brains for mud-slinging, hey, mud-slinger!
I think that the rising demand of raw materials by China is a good thing for resource rich countries in Africa and Latin America. Considering the straight fall of raw material prices and the rising expenses of the manufactured goods in the 1960s and 1970s, which eventually led to the financial crisis in Latin America in early 1980s and the bankruptcy of many African countries, today's demand for these goods spurred by China's economic growth not only give these countries more revenue but also more bargaining power, so that the exploitation by MNCs is a thing in the past. Some may be concerned that such revenue will only be pocketed by the privileged few, but given the prevalence of populist regimes in Latin America, it is likely that wealth will be shared by more people there and hence lift them out of poverty. Furthermore, foreign investment in extractive industry brings new roads and ports much needed by the developing countries and is likely to have a spill-over effect on the entire economy. Wouldn't you say that the fast economic growth in these countries has shown that China is helping?Some are skeptical about China dealing with African despots, and prefer the Western approach to attach strings to loans or just to starve the economy so that people will eventually revolt and establish a democracy. I would like to point out that democracies only emerged in the West after the rise of the middle class in the 19th century and are unlikely to survive in a poor country, with India as an exception. The key is to transform these countries from inside by giving these people good nutrition, education, and careers, and all these depend on the development of the economy. Lastly, I would also like to address the issue of exchange rate. It is true that oil exports tend to appreciate the currency of the exporting countries. However, I don't see any OPEC country complaining about this. The issue today is that the North has been so used to the cheap oil and raw materials from South, which is not so different from the colonial era. With rising living expenses today, I can certainly understand the frustration that someone else has begun to use such resources too and paid a fair price.
With all the respect to Economist (which I religiously read every issue) and as a Chinese citizen (months away to lose that privilege), I take this article as a compliment to China and its people. Things could (and should) be better than it is now; however, at least they do not engage in slave trade.
China's record on the front of democracy is no doubt deplorable but I am at loss to understand what does the author mean by 'undermining Western efforts to spread democracy and prosperity', how one can overlook the Western double standards vis-a-vis spread of democracy. Western powers turn a blind eye towards dictatorships (Musharraf of Pakistan is one prime example)where it suits them while exert pressure (and wage wars) as the so-called champions of democracy where they find it diffucult to make inroads to the resources, Iraq and its people are victims of this 'Western democratic cause'.
You suggest that China's purchasing of raw materials is helping to lift people in Africa and Latin America out of poverty: well, I hope you are right. If China were buying manufactured goods from poor countries, then that would certainly be the case. But do extractive industries have a good record of leading to widespread poverty reduction? (In Nigeria, or Angola, or Equatorial Guinea?) Or does large-scale mining or oil production instead tend to appreciate the exchange rate, making it even harder for manufacturers (who could potentially employ far more people) to find export markets?
As someone who visited Shanghai last year, I don't understand how there aren't more protests, even with the oppressive government. Every time I took a breath I got more and more cranky, as I knew how bad the air was for me and was reminded every time I tried to look longer then half a mile as the smog is that bad.
Unfortunately, for this neocolonialists, simply "taking" the resources by force are not feasible. The "Glory" of the Colonial Era is really history as far as the golden opportunities of exploitation it offered.

Praise for Lost for Words
"[Lost for Words] contains some of the best writing we're likely to read this year." —Huffington Post
"A light-footed romp and a notable taboo-buster… a frisky satire on modern literary manners and the funniest thing St. Aubyn has ever written." —Sunday Telegraph
"St Aubyn's powers of observation are as sharp as ever." —Henry Hitchings, Financial Times
"Lost for Words is a fizzing satire that neatly skewers all the contradictions of literary prize-giving… Lost for Words is very funny, but it also makes some serious points about what is good writing, who is best qualified to make judgments about it… [The Melrose novels] are the most extraordinary transmutation of personal horror into great art." —Telegraph magazine
"A tangy jeu d'esprit… [St. Aubyn] is such a bitchy, brilliant prose writer that any impression this book is a mere scathing divertissement is amply compensated for by nearly every sentence." —Metro
"… St. Aubyn offers a hearty satire, full of laughs and groans." —Mark Levine, Booklist
"Edward St. Aubyn is among the handful of the current giants of English fiction. He has always had an eye for the sort of satire that does not exclude compassion and understanding; now that eye is trained on the absurd world of awarding literary prizes. The results are hilarious!" —Edmund White
"A laugh-out-loud sendup of literary prizes . . . Both the author and the reader have great fun." —Kirkus

Others Say - 9/29/12
Marijuana plan a law enforcement nightmare
State Rep. Peter Buckley of Ashland last week came out in favor of Measure 80, framing it as establishing a neat system like Oregon Liquor Control Commission stores, only with marijuana.
Measure 80, which essentially legalizes marijuana in the state, is on the November ballot. And, indeed, it does call for the state to operate a chain of stores selling pot purchased from licensed, commercial growers.
But there's a big difference between the OLCC system and the one that would be operated by an Oregon Cannabis Commission: People could still grow their own pot under Measure 80.
That's like the OLCC allowing everyone to set up a still out back, while operating multiple stores for those who don't care to make their own.
This paper has long advocated marijuana dispensaries as the way to control the drug and relieve police of the impossible job of monitoring thousands of medical marijuana grow sites. Unfortunately, the current problem of illegal sales will only grow, unless it's illegal for people to grow their own. Under Measure 80, police would still have the time-consuming and expensive job of trying to determine who's in compliance with the law.
Marijuana advocates keep insisting on putting the troublesome "grow your own" loophole in their initiatives. They included it two years ago in Measure 74, which would have set up a string of dispensaries to serve the state's medical marijuana cardholders. Voters torched that measure 56 to 44 percent.
Under 80, adults are limited to growing enough pot for their "personal, noncommercial use." Sales are illegal under the initiative, but it would be a law enforcement nightmare to catch any cheaters. There are already more than 24,000 registered growers in Oregon's medical marijuana program. Imagine how many more there would be if people didn't even have to go through the program to grow their own.
The temptation to grow more for sale would be tremendous, too, since marijuana would still be illegal in other states and thus a prized commodity. Last year, a Grants Pass man was charged with trying to sell pot for $3,000 a pound in Montana.
There is already so much marijuana flowing out of Oregon to other states that the federal government, which still considers the plant illegal, has raided large Southern Oregon operations the past two years. One occurred recently near Ruch.
Raids last year led to charges that six men were growing 4,000 pounds more than the patients they were growing for were entitled to.
Measure 80 also raises questions other than how to control illegal sales, such as how would the federal government feel about a state outright making pot legal? But the big concern is that "grow your own" loophole big enough to drive a truck full of pot through.

Wind power needs federal support
All it takes is a drive east on Interstate 84 past the Columbia River Gorge to appreciate the remarkable growth of wind energy in Oregon.
Wind turbines that barely existed a decade ago now speckle the horizon on either side of the Columbia. Wind companies have invested more than $4.5 billion in Oregon, generating 3,000 jobs, providing millions in tax revenues for state and local governments and helping ranchers, farmers and rural communities survive the Great Recession. Oregon ranks sixth nationally in production, generating 10.5 percent of its power from wind.
At the national level, wind energy supports 75,000 jobs, and the wind industry has invested billions — $14 billion in 2011 alone — in developing a supply chain in the United States.
But the industry has hit hard times. A story in last Thursday's New York Times says 10,000 jobs have disappeared over the past four years as wind companies have been hit by a falling demand for power, competition from cheap domestic natural gas and huge subsidies by Asian countries that allow foreign competitors to underprice U.S. manufacturers.
Despite those setbacks, wind energy has made impressive gains. There remains a huge potential for industry growth as the U.S. economy continues its recovery and new energy technologies are developed.
But that potential is threatened by the possibility that Congress may allow a federal tax credit that makes wind power more competitive with other sources of electricity to expire at the end of this year.
That would be a mistake. While wind power has made major gains, it still needs time and federal assistance to catch up with the competition. At a time when Middle East oil is vulnerable to disruption and fossil fuels are key contributors to global warming, Congress should commit to the continued development of wind power.
Critics, including Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, argue that the wind industry has failed to produce a sufficient return for the taxpayer dollars that have been invested in it. Yet the federal production tax credit for wind has cut the cost of electricity from wind power to the point where it is often competitive with natural gas.
A sudden end to federal subsidies could reverse those gains — industry analysts warn of a 75 percent reduction in new investment and a hefty decline in jobs. The threat of ending the production tax credit has made project developers and manufacturers reluctant to make new investments.
There will come a time, perhaps in the not-too-distant future, when the federal government should step away from wind-energy subsidies. But that time has not yet arrived.

Secrecy for football injuries sends wrong message
College football coaches are famously myopic. So it is not surprising that much of the discussion over whether player injuries should be disclosed to the public has focused on whether it would give any team a competitive advantage.
The issue, as The Oregonian's Paul Buker reported last week, has divided coaches in the Pacific-12 Conference. Oregon coach Chip Kelly guards the information; Oregon State coach Mike Riley is more open than most college coaches. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott is on the right track when he suggests that the conference consider issuing weekly injury reports similar to the ones in the National Football League — and not because such a report would produce fairer competition.
The change that really needs to take place in regard to college football injuries is a change of focus. Interest in football injuries today extends far beyond die-hard fans who have an insatiable appetite for news and gamblers who covet information to help them predict who will win games. Taxpayers want to know if they are subsidizing dangerous activities. Parents want facts to help them decide whether to allow their children to play football.
Players have federally guaranteed privacy rights, which should be respected. But players often volunteer to discuss their injuries. And many injuries eventually become obvious when hobbled players show up on sidelines. Bottom line: Increased transparency about injuries and preserving players' rights do not have to be mutually exclusive goals.
Coaches, players and everyone else associated with football-playing universities should favor increased transparency about injuries to preserve the viability of their sport.
Warning signs abound. More than 140 lawsuits have been filed around the country on behalf of 3,377 former NFL players, the Associated Press reported last week. Portland area youth football leagues are reporting decreased participation. Leagues at all levels of football made rule changes this year to try to increase safety and to assure the public that the health of players is a priority.
None of this means that football is going away anytime soon, or that those involved in the sport are ignoring the health of players. In fact, the NCAA and its member institutions keep detailed records on injuries.
Dr. Gregory Skaggs, director of athletic medicine at the University of Oregon, said trainers log all injuries at practices and games, every treatment and the number of practices and games missed by injured players. Other schools compile similar information, and many share the data with the NCAA. The NCAA uses the information to maintain an injury database, accessible to the public at www.ncaa.org.
But those efforts take place behind the scenes. When the most prominent and powerful people involved in college football — the coaches at high-profile programs — treat injuries as an un-discussable topic, it sends the wrong message.

No Star I Can See
There is no star,
Which I can see
From my window...
Boundless darkness
Is here in the
Chest of night.
The painted sky,
I saw in the daylight
Now is wiped away
As my last poem
I wrote but made
it vanish from
The page, because
It couldn't tell
The blank story,
Of my desolate
Life...no star
Still is visible
From this window..
Someone has spread
The melted pitch
On the road of my
Moped sky..I stare
And stare all night.
The caged breeze,
The starless sky
And night, none can share
My loneliness, I know
They are no living
Persons like me...
But, they can drown me
In complete void of
Sea of utter darkness.
One star can do this;
Only one star......
Thru my little window,
It's flickering light,
Can fill my dark room,
With its heavenly touch!

Zinnias / Moonflower still not dry for harvesting!
Laura GrossmannOctober 27, 2012
Hi all - It is nearly November, there's been a few nights of freeze and neither my zinnia heads or my moonflower vine pods are dried to the point where I should be harvesting. (From what I've read).
They don't seem very damaged by the freeze, but why aren't they drying? Can I clip the zinnia heads off and dry them in the windowsill? I'm afraid if it gets much colder the moonflower pods will be mush. Any suggestions?

Girls star Allison Williams wore a vampy spring 2013 L'Wren Scott red-and-black number to the Seventh Annual Women of Worth Awards in NYC last night. The shark-tooth zigzag and bold sequins paired with black pumps made for a very "Vegas lounge singer" vibe — or, shall we say, "actress auditioning for the part of lounge singer." New script, anyone?

MRInetwork is a company franchised by about 1000 branch offices, each of them operates independently, but the cooperate prides excellent training and trainer will also go to individual office to provide customized training. If you are a self-driven, like to social with professionals in a certain field and have good relationship, you have good chance to be successCons

Good recruiting tools to get info or candidates such as LinkedIn Recruiter, CareerBuilder, Monster, Hoovers, Lead411Cons
Unrealistic fee expectations. The recruiting world is very competitive and fees are declining due to companies hiring their own inside recruiting teams. Some companies are using a broker to display the job openings and a recruiter must submit candidates through the broker but can't get approval from MRI management. The successful offices are subdivided into sourcers (they find the candidates) and business development managers (they find the company who has the hiring need).Advice to ManagementAdvice
modernize your way of doing business, streamline. Your recruiters are spending far too much of their time trying to develop new call lists. The business development recruiters need to be able to generate new call lists, to be nimble. There's too much copying and pasting of information=waste of timeDoesn't RecommendNeutral Outlook

It's incorrect to label Iron Man 2 a fan boy film – even though it's based on the Marvel comic book superhero. Many expect Iron Man 2 to earn the highest weekend ever at the domestic B.O, outstripping Warner Bros.' first frame for The Dark Knight which made $158.4 million in late July 2008. When fan boy films begin churning out huge opening numbers, they become four-quadrant films. Not only is Iron Man 2 currently tracking through the roof in every sector (unaided awareness, total awareness, first choice, definite interest) for Iron Man 2 but no other studio is counter-programming a title against the Marvel sequel – evidence that this is an...Read More »

March 10, 2013 - Products
Phillips Industries has introduced what it calls the cure for the most common warranty complaint with 7-way tractor-to-trailer electrical connections -- complete loss of electrical function on the "blue" circuit.
The loss of function almost always results from lack of maintenance, water and chemical de-icer intrusion into the connector. Phillips' newest product innovation, the patented Sta-Dry QCMS2 (Quick Connect Modular System), prevents water intrusion and eliminate corrosion of the connector pins.
In researching the warrant follow-ups, Phillips noticed that the failures almost always occurred at the tractor union, and much less frequently with the trailer connector. The constant power circuit, the blue wire on the number 7 pin always shows the worst corrosion because that circuit is always powered.
Since the SAE J560 standards do not call for a watertight connection, and with many connectors being constructed in different sizes for compatibility purposes, it leaves a gap of up to 3 mm or more between the plug and socket connection where contaminants can easily enter.
"Fleet maintenance experts say the 7-way union on the tractor side is disconnected and cleaned 99% less than the trailer 7-way union," says Megan Vincent of Phillips Marketing. "Combined, the gap in the connection, little or no proper maintenance and the inevitable water intrusion create a recipe for corrosion."
Phillips' new modular socket/plug hybrid, the QCMS2 is semi-hardwired to the tractor creating a complete seal at the 7-way connection. By removing the socket from the union, the QCMS2 mates directly with Phillips STA-DRY QCS (Quick Connect Socket) boot, eliminating any gap where moisture can enter.
Phillips tested the Sta-Dry QCMS2 mated with a Sta-Dry QCS socket in their electrified salt brine tank for 120 hours, exposing samples to a continuous spray of brine solution through an irrigation system while electrical currents pass through the product. This test reproduces field results showing corrosion at 120 hours on traditional J560 designs. Phillips' test data shows the QCMS2 and the QCS2 remain corrosion free and without water intrusion under the same conditions.

RSL goalkeeper Josh Saunders undergoes knee surgery, will miss six months
Tony Gutierrez, AP
Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Josh Saunders will miss the remainder of the 2013 MLS season after undergoing successful ACL surgery on Tuesday.
Saunders, who will miss six months for recovery time, tore his left ACL during Real's 3-0 victory at FC Dallas on July 13.
Saunders joined RSL this offseason — after helping the L.A. Galaxy win MLS titles in 2011 and '12 — and had played in three MLS games in 2013, as well as three games during Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play.

To the Editor: Gaulrapp gave good presentation at candidate forum
A recent Stephenson County Tea Party in Lena featured two of our three U.S. congressional candidates, George Gaulrapp and incumbent Don Manzullo.
For Gaulrapp, it was the lions' den, as the audience of 160 was largely composed of conservative Tea Party affiliates. The party leader laid out their beliefs, but he did respect that we must have civil discourse with those who have different opinions to have a healthy democracy. He did an admirable job of containing the audience by showing proper respect for Gaulrapp and the president.
I found George Gaulrapp to be admirably honest and straightforward with his answers to the party's questions—even those obviously contrary to the Tea Party's stance. Many would be surprised to learn how conservative some of his positions actually are. George Gaulrapp is a true moderate who can work to best represent our district to bring back desperately-needed jobs. Our incumbent congressman is hoping to get his 10th term (20 years) and collect his nice federal pension with no change in the way he's thought since the beginning. If you feel it's time for more effective leadership, you will not go wrong with voting for George Gaulrapp.
