Khartoum arms fire R370.
(photo credit:REUTERS/Stringer )
A top Israeli defense official accused Sudan on Thursday of being a "dangerous
terrorist state," after Khartoum blamed Israel for a Tuesday night air raid on a
munitions plant.Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad, director of policy and
political military affairs at the Defense Ministry, refused to address
allegations of Israel's involvement in the attack, which Sudan claims took place
at midnight Tuesday on the Yarmouk army factory in southern Khartoum."We
need time to understand exactly what happened there, but the role of Sudan is
clear: It is a dangerous terrorist state," Gilad told Army Radio.He
accused Khartoum of aiding and abetting terrorism, and said the Sudanese regime
was "supported by Iran" and was used as a route to transfer weapons to Hamas
terrorists in the Gaza Strip, via Egypt.Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu on Thursday said Israel had nothing to say about the explosion at the
arms factory.Netanyahu's comments followed those by Defense Minister
Ehud Barak, who when asked by Channel 2 News about Sudan's accusations, said:
"There is nothing I can say about this subject."Sudan called on the UN
Security Council to condemn Israel for the attack, which killed two
people.Sudan accused Israel on Wednesday of carrying out an air strike
on the military plant, saying it found evidence including rocket debris that the
IAF was involved in the attack.A huge fire broke out at the arms
factory, which witnesses said was rocked by several explosions. Firefighters took more than two hours to extinguish the blaze at
Sudan's main factory for ammunition and small arms.Sudan's Information
Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman said four Israeli planes had bombed the military
plant.According to Sudanese newspaper Al-Rakoba, Osman said that the
weaponry used in the attack was not owned by any other country in the region
except Israel.The attacker managed to disable radar at Khartoum airport
before the air strike, Osman said, claiming that Israel had previously said that
the Yarmouk plant threatened its interests, Al-Rakoba reported.According
to the paper, 60 percent of the plant was destroyed in the attack, with the
remaining 40 percent partially destroyed.Osman said the Sudanese
authorities had already begun work to transfer the plant to a location away from
the capital, and Israel knew that and took the opportunity to strike
it.Four aircraft came from the east and returned in the same direction,
Osman said, adding that Sudan "reserved the right to strike back at
Israel."We will take more decisive steps towards Israeli interests which
we now consider legitimate targets," Al-Rakoba cited the minister as
saying.The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) says that Sudan is the
central crossroads in a major weapons smuggling route from Iran that then passes
through Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula and from there on to the Gaza
Strip.Iran is directly involved in procuring the weapons and helping
transfer them to Hamas in Gaza, according to the Shin Bet.Sudan's
information minister declined to say whether any weapons from Yarmouk had ended
up in Gaza, saying that only "traditional weapons in line with international
law" were produced there.Sudan is also an important center for Hamas
fund-raising, according to a report by the US-based NEFA Foundation.The
report identified former Sudanese president Abd al- Rahman Siwar al-Dhahab as
the deputy leader of the Itilaf al-Khayr ("Union of Good"), a coalition of 50
Islamic charities that funds Hamas.Sudan's UN Ambassador Daffa-Alla
Elhag Ali Osman called on the Security Council to condemn the attack, "because
it is a blatant violation of the concept of peace and security."It
jeopardizes peace and security in the entire region, not just in Sudan," he told
the council during a briefing on UN peacekeepers in Darfur."We call on
you to stop foreign hands from meddling in the Darfur conflict and to help Sudan
arrive at a final solution that would maintain peace and security."Iran
also moved to condemn the attack, and said that Israel was behind it.The
"unjustified aggression" was "certain confirmation of the brutality of the
Zionist regime," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said,
Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting reported.Also on Thursday,
pan-Arab newspaper Al-Hayat reported that the US Embassy in Khartoum closed
shortly before the attack, which had led to speculation there that the US may
have known about the strike before it happened.Al-Hayat said the embassy
had stopped providing consular services in September, in the wake of riots in
response to the anti-Islamic movie Innocence of Muslims, and suggested embassy
staff could have feared another attack.The Hurriyat Sudan newspaper
reported on Thursday afternoon that the Sudanese government had waited until it
received information regarding the source of the attack before making any
official announcements.Hurriyat Sudan cited an anonymous security expert
as saying that while Khartoum was unable to respond to the attack militarily, it
reserved the right to retaliate and could do so indirectly.According to
the unnamed source, Sudan could respond by continuing to provide weapons to
Palestinian movements in Gaza, by supporting more regional movements that are
hostile to Israel, and by targeting South Sudan, which Khartoum believes is
cooperating with Israel militarily.Major damage to the Yarmouk plant
would be a blow to Sudan's army in its battle against insurgencies in the
western region of Darfur and the southern states of South Kordofan and Blue
Nile, bordering rival South Sudan.Khartoum has blamed Israel for
previous strikes.In May, Sudan's government said one person had been
killed after a car exploded in the eastern city of Port Sudan.It said
the explosion resembled a blast last year that it had blamed on an Israeli
missile strike.Israel declined to comment on the May incident or the
2011 blast, which killed two people.Khartoum also blamed Israel for two
2009 attacks on a suspected arms convoy in a remote desert area of Sudan, in
which up to 40 people were killed.Sudan had initially accused the US of
the attacks but later said they "most probably involved Israel." Some media
reports said the vehicles in the convoy were carrying arms destined for Hamas in
Gaza.In 1998, the United States fired missiles at the El Shifa medicine
factory in Khartoum.US officials said it was producing chemical weapons
ingredients and was partly owned by Osama bin Laden, who once lived in Khartoum.
Sudan insisted the plant made only pharmaceuticals.The attack followed
the bombings of US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya that killed at least 226
people, including 12 Americans. The attacks were blamed on
al-Qaida.Reuters contributed to this report.

How are your gardens doing?
Snails!!!! They are eating my amaranth leaves. I've put slug & snail bait on the ground but with the rain they keep coming & coming! I would like at least a meal from them.
I did sow more seeds on the other end of the bed so hopefully I'll get a harvest.
My neighbor from India gave me the green amaranth and they grew huge (5 ft) last year. This year I didn't plant them but one self-sowed but the snails don't bother them.
The yard long beans are flowering and I've had a few meals.
I planted 3 types: dark seed, white seed, and red seed.
I grew up with the dark green thinner yard long which are the red seed. A few years ago, I bought a pack of yard long from Martha Stewart. They were the thicker lighter green (my mom calls it in Chinese "9 month" bean).
Two cherry tomatoes died but did harvest quite a few before they died. Only one left and it looks good with only a few tomatoes.
I see a small melon on my winter melon plant.
The angled luffa gourd and bitter melon are growing but no harvest yet.

|Effect of Tris Buffer on Protein Fibers II
| Main project page
Previous entry Next entry
To take UV-vis data of tris + 50 mM tris buffer (pH 10.1) mixed on 02/15/12, and to synthesize protein fibers.
Synthesizing AuNP
High absorbance values obtained from sample prior to centrifuging is most likely due to light scattering caused by solid protein fibers.
The presence of a peak at 500-550 nm after centrifuging indicates that AuNP may be present in solution, even though the solution is a 166 Au/BSA ratio solution. Prior to the addition of the 50 mM tris solution (pH 10.1), all Au particles were associated with the protein fibers, and none were in solution.

Tessa Wegert | May 9, 2013 | Comments
Whether you choose the social site that currently hosts the greatest number of your fans or the one you're most eager to infiltrate next, a social media contest will complement your ad campaigns.
Last week we took a look at some ways in which brands can connect with consumers apart from using digital ads. As advertisers continue to raise the bar for marketing ingenuity, consumers expect more than banners alone. Beyond theatrical content and Twitter chats, one way to deliver is by devising branded contests tied to social media. There's a strategy for every social platform on the web - and plenty of inspiration to get you started.
Whether you choose the social site that currently hosts the greatest number of your fans or the one you're most eager to infiltrate next, a social media contest is well-suited to complement your current - and future - ad campaigns.

Izelia Golatt was found guilty at a September trial for the murder of Kristen Rodgers. The defense claimed Rodgers died of drugs and exposure to the cold on a morning last March...but medical examiner Vincent Tranchida had a different explanation, that Rodgers showed signs of being strangled.
Golatt did not testify at his trial. He faces a life prison sentence.

Dual Beat Down Gets Man 15 Years In Prison
15 years in prison. That's the sentence a La Crosse man recieved today for
beating his girlfriend and her friend to the point of permanent injuries. Judge
Scott Horne told 58 year old Daniel Stoddard that this was one of the most sever
incidents of domestic violence he has seen short of a homicide.
Stoddard was drunk on whiskey back on July 29th of last year when he attacked the two women in La Crosse. Stoddard accused his girlfriend of cheating on him then punched her friend in the head. The woman lost consciousness and woke up to find him kicking his girlfriend. He then kicked the friend in the head and punched her repeatedly after noticing she regained consciousness. Stoddard also hit the woman in the head with a frying pan.
Stoddard's girlfriend ended up with a brain injury, skull fracture, lacerations, puncture wounds and bruises. Her suffered head wounds that required 32 staples and a broken hand among other injuries.
Lax Council Could Soon End Special UWL Parking Zone
It could be the official end of a parking experiment in the U-W-L neighborhood...
The La Crosse city council will be asked to vote next month on an ordinance to dissolve the special rules for alternate side parking in the university neighborhood during the winter. In the last three years, City Hall would send out alerts in that part of town, only on nights when the streets would be plowed. Only 11 alerts were issued during the five-month period of winter parking last year...and many people didn't bother to move their cars on those nights, anyway.
170 Sick From Swimming In Lake Wazee
What started out as a couple of people calling Jackson County saying they got sick from swimming in Lake Wazee last week, has turrned into something they have never seen before. Public Health Nurse, Christine Hovell, explains.
The numbers of people sick......at least 170. She says the lake is closed until more testing can be done next week. In the meantime, if you are fishing or scuba diving in the area.......she says wash your hands before and after the activity.
More Burn Restrictions In Place
Emergency burning restrictions have been extended to include Jackson and Monroe counties and additional portions of Adams and Juneau counties. Campfires have been banned in four Wisconsin State Parks system properties including Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, the Lapham Peak unit of Kettle Moraine State Forest, Richard Bong State Recreation Area and Big Foot Beach State Park until further notice due to continued drought and high to very high fire danger conditions. The extended Emergency Burning Restrictions and the park campfire bans are effective Friday, July 13 at 12:01 a.m. Emergency burning restrictions currently are in effect in all of Crawford and Richland and portions of Juneau county.
Comments Sought For Statewide Obesity Plan
State public health administrator Karen McKeown says they are still taking public comment on new ways the state wants to combat childhood obesity. It's a 124-page document outlines the best types of physical activities for young people plus ways for adults to make healthy choices for meals.
McKeown says the state's plan will need support from both the public and private sectors in order to succeed.

This is the scenario: An intranet application built with ASP.NET using integrated windows authentication. On the start page of this application there is another ASP.NET application embedded in an IFrame which also uses integrated windows authentication. This is no problem for IE users but when iPad users connect to the site with Safari, the authentication pops up two times which is pretty annoying for the users. Is it possible to "share" the first authentication attempt with the other app so that iPad users only need to authenticate once?

Mutant Sunflowers
I planted these Mammoth Sunflowers back in May, most have grown in and are beginning to bloom. Two, however have gone a little strange...
They were the first two to have growth spurts and gain any kind of height; stalling and finally stopping at around four feet. A bud developed on one but not the other. The bud's covering then browned and fell off to reveal this cauliflower looking structure. The higher leaves of both plants are also deformed, growing in curled up, forked, and some split partway down the middle.
I've been researching and researching but cannot find anything similar to this. Any info would be much appreciated.
This post was edited by anneplath on Wed, Aug 14, 13 at 23:22
Notice the stem: it appears that a number of stems which are fused. It's called fasciation. It happens
That said, the curling & distortion of the leaves might be herbicide damage, even though inadvertent. Any chance of that?
This post was edited by jean001a on Thu, Aug 15, 13 at 0:12
Very interesting, I hadn't heard of fascination before. Thank you for the information.
As for herbicides, none are used on my property, though there is a large public park on the other side of the wall visible in the photo, they may use them.
I've attached a picture of the second odd looking sunflower, this one has the same kind of lumpy growths at the first, just more of them.
Okay, have changed my mind. Think that damage is due to herbicide. I've never seen such "tumors" with fasciation, but I have seen something similar with 2,4-D, a broadleaf herbicide. Then, too, public and large commercial agencies have access to products not sold to home gardeners.
Make certain you don't have a garden "helper" -- one who wasn't really much help. (sigh)
You might poll your neighbors to learn if they have strange growth in some of their plants. If so, document with images.
Suggest you run these images past your County's Extension Service office. The agent should be able to provide a definitive response.
Locate your county's office w/ this interactive map.

Thanks for the follow up! I have emailed the San Bernardino Extension office, hopefully they'll get back expediently.
I have asked both neighbors and one does use herbicide to kill the ivy the city grows as a natural screen on top of the cinderblock wall between our houses and the public park. He wouldn't tell me what exactly he used or if he sprayed recently but upon looking up 2,4-D injuries, the leaves of both sunflowers look very much like them.
I've attached a picture taken from my backyard looking at the the neighbor's wall with the ivy killed via herbicide. The mutated sunflowers are behind the normal looking one seen.
I have also been checking for mites, as of yet, I haven't seen any on the leaves or stems. I'm not ruling it out, as I've noticed Argentine ants quite busily running all over the sunflowers since they sprouted back in May/June.
Hopefully someone from the Extension Office gets back soon with some definitive answers. I shall post all updates here.

puck handling -decent
hockey sense -OK
shot -very hard, accurate, but he is not quick enougt to get into position to use it much
hitting -OK but not punishing
toughness -will respond if challenged, but does not initiate. not the grit of J Smith or Staois
the main redemming quality is his size.
I know it takes longer for dmen to develop, especially big dmen.
He has had very poor starts to his seasons.
I like Semenov, nothing personal, I just don't see him as a top 1/2 dman,
maybe eventually he could be in the top 4, but not at the rate he is going.
That's my opinion, maybe I'm wrong and if he turns into a top dman this year or next, please tell me you told me so.
After last night I don't think it would hirt to give him a shot. He has all the tools just got to get that shot off faster.

sensationalized drama
You mean sensationalized bullshit, right?
Damn right it would, at least for the news companies anyway - if they featured articles like that about other news companies, people would (I hope) think "So what stops the one featuring the article from lying through their teeth?" then nobody would watch the news anymore, and so none of the networks would show their Doctor Phil or American Idol anymore, then people would go crazy and start killing each other, resulting in global war and the nuclear holocaust.
When somebody publicly questions the sexuality of a Hollywood star, they get sued for millions, but it is okay to say that a product is being used to molest little kids when it just isn't true?

The Hayes Muslim Centre: Promoting Hatred
This line appeared in a report about Ismail Jabbar, yet another hideous British jihadi in Syria:
Senior figures in Jabbar's former mosque warned that at least three other local boys had travelled to Syria with him. A trustee of the Hayes Muslim Centre said: 'I remember him. He used to pray here, and we know that he has gone to Syria. There are three other boys who have gone like that.'
The Hayes Muslim Centre seems an appropriate place for such a man. Consider the face it shows to the world on its website.
This Saturday, for example, it will host a conference for Khatme Nubuwwat. Khatme is a movement entirely dedicated to the promotion of hatred and persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslims.
The Hayes Muslim centre is also fond of the notorious hate preacher and champion of terrorists Uthman Lateef. In fact, one of the recordings it hosts on its website features Lateef telling Muslims to remember "your brother" Babar Ahmad, among other extremists. Ahmad was a Taliban supporter who pleaded guilty last year to very serious terrorist charges:
"Today, Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan admitted that they supported terrorists," said Acting U.S. Attorney Daly. "They acknowledged that they solicited funds, recruited, personnel and provided additional support for acts of terror, including efforts based out of the United States and solicitations for support that were specifically targeted at U.S. residents. In doing so, they also admitted that they knew that their efforts could result in the maiming and murder of individuals, including U.S. citizens."
The Hayes Muslim Centre has also hosted iERA, the homophobic and antisemitic band led by Abdur Raheem Green, and London's Tayyibun Institute, a set of inveterate promoters of some the world's worst extremist preachers.
On the centre's "Articles" page one finds more. Here is a key reason why Mohammed was so great:
Then after that, Allah sufficed him with what He permitted to him of the fay' (spoils) and ghaneemah (booty), which is the noblest of earnings.
Fay' is that which is taken from the kuffaar without fighting.
Ghaneemah is that which is taken from the kuffaar by means of fighting.
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (sa) said: "I have been sent ahead of the Hour with the sword, until Allah alone is worshipped with no partner or associate, and my provision has been placed beneath the shade of my spear."
Perhaps most shocking and disgusting, though, is this bit of Islamic end times lore about the devil:
His followers will flee, pursued by the Muslims, who will kill them, and trees and rocks will say, 'O Muslim, O slave of Allaah, there is Jew behind me – come and kill him!" – apart from the gharqad (box thorn), for it is one of the trees of the Jews.
This revolting line is bad enough on its own. The contemporary context makes it worse: end times tales centre on Syria and are a staple of hate preachers who support the jihadis plaguing that country.
Maybe the local MP is concerned? Er, no, one must guess. It's Labour's John McDonnell. He holds surgeries at the centre and helped it to gain control of its building.

Sick baby boer goats
goats_galore_950112February 16, 2013
I have this kid goat, and he's about two weeks old. Since he was born he's been running and bucking in the pen, but this morning he's week, his head/ neck is spasming, and he was chaking and convulsing. He appears to be in a lot of pain. He tries to stand up, but is too weak and falls over. We've given him a shot of penicilliin, banamine, and b1. This has been going on for going on 4 hours and he doesn't seem to be much better.. What should I do?

Just go and look new China ,it is evry different from some presses said.
Give a chance to china ,and give a chance to the world.
Semi-crazy:Enlighten us then, how should the article be structured ?
Eric Zhou wrote, "I believe that most cultural, social, and humanitarian issues in China are covered up by strong economic growth. Mr Deng Xiaoping is highly acclaimed in China, sincerely, and probably also oversea. Yes, just like Mao, Deng has contributed quite much to the country. But his idea of utmost emphasis on economic development also deprived the nation too many opportunities to push forward political reform and cultural development." I totally agree with you, and am quoting you here so that more people can be alerted to your view. I would say that economic success of China is mainly due to 2 factors: the economic prowess of the Chinese people (ref: economic success of Chinese in virtually all parts of the world, notably in HK, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada ...), and the brilliance of Deng stopping hard-liners from meddling with free market economy. Many Chinese in mainland I talked to understand this dynamics, and, surprisingly or not-surprisingly (Chinese are notorious to be pragmatic), some Chinese I talked to say that they will praise the Chinese Government for everything done or not done by them, lest the hardliners will force it not to continue liberalize the economy.The average Chinese will continue to enjoy the benefits of economic benefits and don't bother with anything else (unless one of their own relatives got into political trouble, like being a Fulong Gong member). Many an apologist will continue to rationalize the existing political system as to how good and how just it is.And finally, many an Eric will continue pointing to a possible better future of China....As for westerners, many will keep benefiting from cheap Chinese products and couldn't care less about issues like freedom-of-speech there [though they would continue to ridicule or make fun of Bush everyday (like a Dave Letterman) but smart enough to refrain from commenting China]. Some apologists on the west will continue their "bashing" and "hair-splitting" on western media and democracy (ideology, like religion, always take precedent over nationality).And finally there are people who are delighted to see hope in China, having seen guys like an Erica…
Ulrich123:u didn't get it. there's simply nothing creative and original reviews on china except towards its long-lasting human rights abused & the policies of the communist party. how could she offer u any ?
Dear Daveycool,Thanks for the response. Here are my answers.(1) Democracy with liberalism indeed is one of the good things that could ever have happened to creatures on earth. But it is good not because every several years a carnival-like inner-party primary is held, followed by an even more jubilant presidential election. In my opinion, it is good because it is the best way to sustain what is called public reason of a society. The contemporary bread-and-circus type of mass democracy then is its opposite! (2) As you said, democracy is best to be established incrementally because a society must always keep an eye on order. Thus, those ranting about democracy while ignorant of the real situation of a country are either naïve, or, allow me to say, wicked. Do you really sincerely think that those who established some foundations or whatever for democracy in other countries really have the slightest caring about democracy at all? They don't even care about whether democracy is at work in their own countries. It always is about greed and selfishness. Such good things as democracy or equality or justice or freedom all turn into weapons in the hands of those bellicose nationalists. (And imagine that exactly these men should have the cheek to point the finger at other countries as too nationalists!!!) In the newspapers of developing countries, we are too much used to seeing such rhetoric that it is not in the national interest of XXX (the name of the big brother) to have, say, a Kindergarten, in this area. The problem is never about democracy at all—can't you see that?! (See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racak_incident; http://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/fulltext/56145). Attack the sources of information! Say that they are faked, or fabricated by those jealous of the rich and strong West!![you see, as a person brought up in the developing countries in which the most prevailing element of the social milieu is the culture of Uncle Sam, I am always ready to buy whatever counter-argument he has about these conspiracies.]
nancycheung:Ok, how about YOU offer the criticism, yes YOU !Lets see what your criticism is and how it differs from the article. Tell me what should have been in the article ?
forgot to add: Nationalism is a new element, I am sorry for overlooking it.
CHINESE welcome criticism, but sometimes it is really tiring to hear these similar comments again and again, and again and again... So next time, my dear writer, make sure come up with some innovative and genious critism, to relieve my boredom. by a chinese reader.
ricecake,No they won't. And they don't quote sources for their claims... Let's all have some China-bashing fun. "It has used the pretext of an alleged terrorist threat to impose a restrictive security cordon on the city and curtail visas even for harmless businessmen."That makes it sound everything but real threat.
Bjoern, Germany,"2) Timothy D. Naegele's argument is another example of selective reporting. We read a lot these days about health risks posed by Chinese products. But who ever wondered about the health risks posed by Western exports to China? What about highly toxic garbage like discarded high-tech products being shipped to China, India and other developing countries? NGOs estimate that 100,000 workers in South China make a living out of dissembeling these products without any protection against considerable health hazards. Unfortunately, hardly anyone reports on this other side of Sino-Western trade relations."You are absolutely right. I remember once many years ago my friends in China were negotiating a deal buying a certain used manufacture production line (equipment) from the U.S because it was not fit for their environmental regulation beside outdated. Not only the Americans, the Japanese too were dumping their outdated discards in cheap price to China. Someone, hopeful the environmental and the Human Rights group should check into these cases. I also hope Economist will write something it too. Or would they ever will?
Maybe Economist could put the author's name up in most of the articles such as this one
The topic is just too controversial to be but individual thoughts
I have to sympathise Beijing's cause because it's just like most Chinese people, wishing to make the Olympic at least "face-saving".
There has always being complaints from people about the reduction of liberty during the Olympics, but these are really just necessary steps to keep up the quality of it. No one would prefer having suffocating smog or unbearable congestion during the next few weeks. And it irritates me as people like Eric Zhou trying to make a special fuzz about democracy in China in this event. When the game is over, progressiveness is still progressiveness, nothing is going to change on the determination of Chinese Govt.
PS: The censorship has become a lot better here in China since early July. Youtube, Wikipedia with sensitive topics are mostly unblocked now.
what a great article Economist has here. sarcastic, ironical ,unfair, even distorted. Obviously ,the writer has never been to China. Obvioulsy , the writer and the editor have been brainwashed on China and are trying to brainwash the readers with this article. ill will or stupid. I'd like to call the editors and writers like for this articel are media colonists, following their ancestors that once colozined the world with guns and boat, colonizing theworld again , but with pens and loudspeakers. They never feel sinful, they still feel great, as if they had the moral superioty as their killers ancestors also had before. Great artilce , Economist, this is a superb articel full of racism and bias. But, please stop claiming you are fair and just media, please dont make me throw up again.
JLKrier,I agree with you that Bush was not unfriendly to China. I believe the Chinese government consider him as a friend.Living in the U.S for many years, I think I understand what kind of fair society it is in comparing with China on the warfare of blaming gamesMao was all worshiped credited of all the good and later blamed for all of the bad because of his ideology and method of governing.In the U.S, a good president is not fully credited for the good he does and is often criticized for not done enough or not done in the right way. But if he's failed, he will take all the blames. The majority Americans can't wait to point him out as the sole responsibility for their mistakes and failure. So how can we expect a professional politician to devote fully to the people while being mistreated by the people? Politician is like just as human as anyone else.In China's cast it may seem a bit more reasonable that Mao is to be blame for almost all because it's dictatorship after all. But in the U.S? Come one. The Americans have all their rights to chose and speak as they say. A president's power is very limited and the U.S government has little power to control to manipulate the critical free thinkers lots of Americans proudly believe they are. I think it's unfair to put all the blames on a U.S president especially in Bush's case because he is no more than a front showman with certain kind of charisma and know how to tell a lie without a blink and becoming so good at that. Since most Americans believe they are so right so free as well as so capable of critical thinking, they shouldn't have difficulty at all to understand the fact that Bush is controlled by his teams the invisibles big brothers who him up at the White House. Sometimes I feel sorry for the guy because those silent real decision makers hiding in the dark can get away while Bush the mouth piece take all the beating for .... being loyal and stupid. It's past time that the American patriots should check their own reflection and look into their own share of the responsibility for their personal and the country's failure, instead of blaming all Bush, government for American's war on Iraq, blaming the banks the mortgage companies the money lenders for their habit of spending others' money and greed, and blaming China for the rest of the world's problems.
I was just reading other guys' comments. Someone says that "if you have a two-party or multi-party democracy, why can't you have a single-party democracy"? Well, I'm afraid that's exactly what I think is the root of the potential problems in China ---- the one-party system. I think you all know about the virtue of competition, of supervision, of balance of power, of the division among administration, legislation and enforcement? I had thought those ideas are one important fruits of democratic systems in the Western countries. I don't think anyone is born a political abuser, but rather it's the social/political systems that force them to change. My idea is that we, the general public, do not and should not trust anyone, but we only trust in a democratic system. In short, at least, we want to vote for our own leaders. Right?
OK, I live in China. I was born and brought up in China. I am a Chinese. I now work for a global bank, doing econimic analysis. Basicly, I love my country. But frankly, I don't like the current government. Don't give me the typical Chinese crap that "we are still in the stage of early development, and bla bla bla". I'm 28 now, and for all my life up to today, I've voted only once, i.e. in college. And you know what, the department dean then explicitly gave us "suggestions" to vote for a certain candidate.
I belive that most cultural, social, and humanitarian issues in China are covered up by strong economic growth. Mr Deng Xiaoping is highly acclaimed in China, sincerely, and probably also oversea. Yes, just like Mao, Deng has contributed quite much to the country. But his idea of utmost emphasis on economic development also deprived the nation too many opportunities to push forward political reform and cultural development. Today, there is just no "belief" in China, the nation doesn't believe in God, nor Marx, nor democarcy. Most citizens just solely think and work for money. Yes, we do see a lot of compassion during the lastest Sichuan earthquake. But, dear, what is that? Just donation and voluntary work? Nobody seriously asks questions about the institution? A country couldn't prosper on compassion, or only wealth/capital, but we really need .... a spirit. Confusian is abandoned in the May-4th Movement, and Communism proves to be wrong. The Tian'anmen Square, the June-4th movement is cracked with brutality. And from then on, the China become democratically sick. China has a long way to go.
At least through last few years, it became increasingly evident that the Economist editorials tended to bend over backward to apologize/praise the US administration (yep, that's Bush, but the same for Clinton), whereas those concerning non-Western countries, including China, and especially the Eastern Europeans, were rather condescending to say the least.
I wonder if it's because of some underlying premise of the publication that I am failing to grok?
True, you have the "editorial" license in the Leaders section, but it seems to bleed pretty easily to your reporting sections as well.
For the past several centuries the West's image of China has always tended toward either a positive extreme (idealization) or a negative one (demonization). Usually this had more to say about how Europeans saw themselves than it had to do with Chinese realities. Not until the period of reform an opening some 30 years ago did a more realistic image of China emerge in the West.But even with more insights into China media reporting and public opinion still swing between positive and negative extremes. We're about to witness a new swing in the pendulum from the rosy (business-oriented) reporting of the 1990s to a much gloomier picture. Examples can be found in this Economist piece as well as in the online discussion:1) The Economist author is wrong to suggest that only ad hoc "desperate measures" like driving bans will be employed to improve Beijing's environment. A recent Greenpeace report documents that the last ten years' efforts at environmental protection contributed to significant reductions in Beijing's SO2, NO2 and CO emissions. Problems remain, obviously. But we should acknowledge what has been achieved, too. Another study (China Quarterly, June 2008) estimates that air pollution cleanup activities in Beijing will avert some 55,000 premature deaths over a ten year period and in total save 3.5 billion RMB annually.2) Timothy D. Naegele's argument is another example of selective reporting. We read a lot these days about health risks posed by Chinese products. But who ever wondered about the health risks posed by Western exports to China? What about highly toxic garbage like discarded high-tech products being shipped to China, India and other developing countries? NGOs estimate that 100,000 workers in South China make a living out of dissembeling these products without any protection against considerable health hazards. Unfortunately, hardly anyone reports on this other side of Sino-Western trade relations.
China does not anymore small nation. It takes at least 10% of world economics. But not enough with size of economy, the important thing for their improvement is to make people to act like world high classes.
It remains to be seen how china live after Successful olympic prosperously. But it is certain that the US have a mind to quit their march. It would be hafd to ignore the number of people's power.
Warren Buffett once said people never admit they had been wrong even when all the evidence points at the opposite. He also added: "this is human nature". I guess magazines also share this human flaw, hehe. Someone once said: those who read WSJ are those who run this country; those who read Washington Post are those who thought they are running this country; finally, those who read USA Today are those who don't give a damn about this country. If people who are really running this country had shared the same belief as the Economist, how could China possibly lay its hand on the Olympics? Sadly, this means the Economists are at best another Washington Post.
I find China a very interesting and very special case. I am currently working on a theory I call "Historical Memory". It is only appropo to the two great Asian civilizations of China and India.
These two nations have had continuous culture and ethnic homogeneity for thousands of years. So I don't think that "Nationalism" in the Western sense explains the average Chinese' behavior in reaction to Tibet protests in Paris or shrine visits in Japan. With such a great and rich history there must be a thread which binds the present with the past and gives the Hindu Indian or the Chinese a sense of nation that is much more fundamental and visceral than just garden variety nationalism. It could be that there is a even some genetic link binding the Chinese to their ancestors. I realize that sounds metaphysical but I believe not.
The nation of China must be understood for their differences more than their similarities.
And those of you accusing the "neo cons" or whoever on the right of confronting the Chinese, think again. The Bush administration has treated China as more of a partner rather than an enemy, unlike past administrations. He realizes as many of us do that China CANNOT be preached to by the "Economist" or any other prissy moralistic scolders. Worse are the trade unions and their ilk who are hiding behind moralizing to advance their protectionist agenda aganst China and even smaller and poorer Asian nations.
They (the Chinese) must become a richer nation (with Western cooperation), then they will become more responsible in world affairs, if only because they will have more to lose and the chip on their shoulder from past wrongs will be reduced in size.
It is not so easy to make the transition from third to first world in a nation of 1.4bil while maintaining a cohesive society.
