Vendee Globe - Runaway leaders due to hit Cape Horn + Video By Vendee Globe, , 4:29 AM Wed 2 Jan 2013 In the Vendee Globe, the two runaway leaders are due at Cape Horn from around 1730hrs UTC (1830hrs French time) this afternoon with the youngest skipper on the course, François Gabart (Macif) expected to be first to pass the longitude of the infamous rock, the most southerly point of the course, on his very first attempt at the solo nonstop around the world race. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Distant threat for Mike Golding By Sara Blackwell, , 12:31 AM Wed 2 Jan 2013 Sailing away from the Pacific West gate on a SE'ly course in the Vendee Globe, Mike Golding now has the distant threat of Javier 'Bubi' Sanso attacking behind Dominique Wavre. Sanso has caught more than 140 miles on Wavre since Christmas Day, coming back with a more direct course and better breeze than the two skippers have had. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Tough times into the Pacific By Vendee Globe, 9:12 PM Tue 1 Jan 2013 In the Vendee Globe, since Alessandro Di Benedetto (Team Plastique) passed into the Pacific Ocean this morning at 0510hrs - all thirteen skippers have been racing in the same ocean. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Some kind of deliverance for the skippers + Video By Vendee Globe, 6:08 AM Tue 1 Jan 2013 In the Vendee Globe, Cape Horn, and the left turn up the Atlantic has always represented some kind of deliverance for the skippers. Thus far, the Pacific winds and seas may have been relatively gentle on the majority of the fleet, but it also is the relief from the mind and body numbing chill that the Atlantic finally brings which is universally welcomed. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Mean challenges and a fight to the finish + Video By Vendee Globe, , 5:00 AM Mon 31 Dec 2012 For the Vendee Globe fleet, it is the Southern Oceans, the successive challenges of the Indian Ocean and then the Pacific which might normally exact their toll. But there are also dangerous weather and sea conditions in the South Atlantic. Even winter storms in the North Atlantic on the final stretch to Les Sables d'Olonne can break tired boats. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Mike Golding on breakfast, Ainslie and sauce + Video By Emily Caroe, , 3:59 AM Mon 31 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, steady progress under the influence of a dominant high pressure system is the main topic of Mike Golding's report from Gamesa this morning. He has done a good job in moving away again from Dominique Wavre since yesterday morning and now has established a lead of 30 miles over the Swiss soloist in terms of distance to finish. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Full attack mode initiated! By Vendee Globe, , 12:46 AM Mon 31 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, it is full attack mode for all thirteen skippers this morning as each manages to maintain solid average speeds, all making good miles towards their next waypoint. For the leading duo, who spoke last night by VHF radio, the next 'mark' is Cape Horn which will be less than 1000 miles ahead today. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Fatigue at seven weeks + Video By Vendee Globe, , 4:36 AM Sun 30 Dec 2012 The two Vendee Globe leaders, Francois Gabart and Armel Le Cleac'h, expected at Cape Horn on Tuesday January 1st 2013, might be able to look forward to relatively clement, settled weather for their passage but they will have another critical variable set to challenge them as they round the notorious point. Ice has been monitored well to the north and east of Drake's Passage for much of December. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Golding takes some pain By Emily Caroe, , 1:58 AM Sun 30 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, Mike Golding has been taking some pain, making a move to the south on what he feels is presently the unfavoured gybe as a future investment trying to find more breeze as he tries to move away from the worst of a high pressure ridge. ...[more] Vendée Globe Race 2012 - Gabart, Le Cléac'h battling; Dick surging By Vendee Globe, New Zealand , 7:57 PM Sat 29 Dec 2012 As the two leaders of the Vendée Globe, François Gabart and Armel Le Cléac'h, set up to pass the eighth and final safety gate of the course, after nearly 50 days at sea they continue to race in visual contact for some of the time, only a few miles apart. ...[more] Vendee Globe - A welcomed tonic for the leading duo + Video By Vendee Globe, , 5:10 AM Sat 29 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, a spell of more peaceful life in the Pacific is proving something of a welcomed tonic for the two leaders. Despite the fact that they have been forced to concede 300 miles since Boxing Day to the fast moving Jean-Pierre Dick, second placed François Gabart asserted today that the interlude of lighter winds has been good for him to recuperate and to check Macif. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Golding approaches New Zealand gate By Sara Blackwell, , 12:29 AM Sat 29 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, as of 0900hrs UTC this morning, Mike Golding had less than fifty miles to make to satisfy the requirements of the New Zealand gate. Although he is a little unhappy with his approach angles, Golding – who passed the 180 degree meridian yesterday evening - is making good progress. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Respective comebacks continue for Dick and Thomson By Vendee Globe, , 10:13 PM Fri 28 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, Jean-Pierre Dick (Virbac-Paprec 3) and Alex Thomson (Hugo Boss) continue their respective comebacks against the leading duo of Armel Le Cléac'h (Banque Populaire) and François Gabart (Macif) who have been slowed by a transition zone of lighter winds. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Leading duo begin to slow, others shine + Video By Vendee Globe, , 5:30 AM Fri 28 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, Armel Le Cléac'h and his long time running partner François Gabart may have had it all their own way, making the pace at the front of the fleet since well before they passed side-by-side into the Pacific Ocean nine days ago. But – as was widely predicted – the twosome have finally been slowed through today. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Golding narrows gap on Le Cam By Vendee Globe, 1:49 AM Fri 28 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, Mike Golding, now lying in sixth place, has closed down some sixty miles of gap to fifth placed Jean Le Cam, with his French counterpart now just 350 miles in front of Gamesa. ...[more] Vendee Globe Race 2012-2013 - Leaders towards final safety gate By Vendee Globe, New Zealand , 7:06 PM Thu 27 Dec 2012 Vendee Globe Race leaders Armel Le Cléac'h (Banque Populaire) and François Gabart (MACIF) are heading towards the finals safety gate of the round-the-world race while Swiss skipper Bernard Stamm is still struggling to fix the broken hydrogenerators of Cheminées Poujoulat. ...[more] Vendee Globe - More trouble for Stamm, leaders remain the same + Video By Vendee Globe, , 4:11 AM Thu 27 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, after being forced to virtually stop off the island of Tenerife to repair the top of his damaged mainsail track - just one week into his race, Spain's Javier Sanso spent most of the following four weeks at sea playing catch up. ...[more] Vendee Globe 2012-2013 - Stamm makes stop, Le Cléac'h regains lead By Vendee Globe, New Zealand , 7:32 PM Wed 26 Dec 2012 A podium finish for Bernard Stamm is slipping away in each passing day of the Vendee Globe race after Frenchman decided to drop anchor in another desperate effort to fix Cheminées Poujoulat's banged up hydrogenerators. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Gabart regains lead from Le Cléac'h + Video By Vendee Globe, , 4:31 AM Wed 26 Dec 2012 In the Vendee Globe, from the delicious, unprecedented duel between François Gabart and Armel Le Cléac'h at the head of the fleet, sliding east towards Cape Horn 2400 miles ahead of them, right back to Italy's 13th placed Alessandro Di Benedetto still 750 miles to the south and west of Australia's Cape Leeuwin, the main focus of the day has been to just get through it incident free. ...[more] Vendee Globe - Lively Christmas for Mike Golding, Gamesa By Emily Caroe, , 1:36 AM Wed 26 Dec 2012 Vendee Globe skipper Mike Golding, onboard Gamesa, brings us up to date on his progress in the race and how his Christmas at sea is going. ...[more]

how is this useful at all?
Phoronix: GTK+ HTML Back-End Merged For GTK+ 3.2
In November of last year we talked about an HTML5 back-end to GTK+ that allowed any GTK application to be then run from the web-browser. This work was not merged into GTK+ 3.0, but other work was, such as for supporting multiple GTK+ back-ends. Now though this HTML5 work is in a position to land with GTK+ 3.2...
how is this useful at all?
It's quite strange, in the place of the video, I have a "Aww snap !" etc. It asks me to get a HTML5 compliant browser.
I thought I was running minefield i.e. a beta of Firefox 4, which is as far as I know HTML5 <video> compliant if that is the problem.
I suppose it is the same broken way of testing user-agent instead of supported features...
This will be cool when they can pull this off: GDK_BACKEND=broadway gdm. Other than that I don't see much use in this, although it's very cool
One of the things that is not immediately obvious, and may not be supported (I am just guessing here) is that it will allow for disconnection and reconnection.
That is if your playing your music through something like totem or whatever then you should be able to start it up, close out the front end, and then come back to it later to change the music.
That is something you cannot do currently with X Windows.
For security you will probably want to stick you applications behind a Apache reverse proxy with SSL encryption and digest password logins.
Application:http://localhost:8081/index.html <---> Apache:https://remote.example.com:443/app_name.html <====SSL Encryption + Digest logins====> Client browser
That sort of thing.
It's also kinda awesome for creating webapps with GTK. I wonder if a gtkglext-WebGL mapping is feasible. And if it's possible to push custom javascript to the clientside.

The very first one you've played -- or at least remember playing? Looking for non-kiddie stuff here -- the first REAL video game, with a dedicated story and non-educational entertainment and such?
For me, it was Starship Titanic. Funny game, great design, weird logic. I finally beat it only about a year ago after an enormous pause. This was shortly followed by Grim Fandango, which I was also clueless at. Didn't even get past the second year until I revisited it so long after my first tries at it -- and I had to be helped to even accomplish that.
Weird games for a three or four year old to play, though. X_x Hehe, to explain, they were my brother's, and I borrowed them for some . . . reason I can't remember. He's just under 10 years older than me -- probably he just showed them to me so I wouldn't bother him while he played Playstation or something.
Whenever I was done I'd play a Sesame Street thing or something. I don't know.
/life story
So what's the first non-kiddie game you remember playing? Not looking for any arguments on what really constitutes a "non-kiddie game," and you should know what I mean by that.

LOS ANGELES (January 18, 2013) - SAG-AFTRA Today Released the Following Statement:
We're pleased and excited with the results of the union election at KPCC. We are looking forward to working with the new SAG-AFTRA bargaining unit in partnership with KPCC management to negotiate a first contract.
The new bargaining unit will cover 65 reporters, producers, show hosts and news anchors at KPCC and is moving forward to negotiate a first contract.
Peoria (August 23, 2012) —Today, members of the SAG-AFTRA Peoria Local ratified a new contract with Granite Broadcasting, operators WEEK TV and WHOI TV. The contract is the result of a difficult negotiation process that has lasted for almost two years.
"On behalf of the Local SAG-AFTRA Membership, we want to thank the community for all of their support during our campaign to save local news. Without your support, we are confident we would not have reached a deal," said Local President Garry Moore.
LOS ANGELES (March 29, 2012) - Screen Actors Guild fully supports its sister union, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, in its efforts to organize music videos. Music videos are an area of intense production, in which members must be adequately covered by union contracts.
AFTRA and representatives from Sony, UMG, Warner, EMI, Disney and subsidiaries did not reach an agreement in negotiations and on March 24 the AFTRA National Board of Directors authorized its Administrative Committee to issue a "do not work" order for music videos.
As many as 2,000 SAG members and producers tuned in concurrently via a live online stream on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, to learn details of the new SAG Production Center, which allows producers to download forms and rate sheets, and in many instances sign online, saving substantial time and avoiding the headaches of the paper-based manual approach. You can see the complete live stream below.

Screen Actors Guild members joined thousands of people in downtown Los Angeles Saturday to show solidarity with fellow unions. Since Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker launched an attack on public sector unions' right to collective bargaining, labor groups have been staging rallies around the country and gathering support to fight back. (See photo gallery below.)
Screen Actors Guild member Bradley Whitford (Good Guys, The West Wing) and SAG and AFTRA National Board member Gabrielle Carteris (My Alibi, Beverly Hills, 90210), along with other SAG and AFTRA members, joined tens of thousands of protesters in Madison, Wis. on February 26, in a show of solidarity with Wisconsin workers.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a technique created by Minato Namikaze which allows the user to transport themselves to a marked location in the blink of an eye. This technique was the reason behind his nickname, "Konoha's Yellow Flash" (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō).[1]
To activate this technique, the user needs a special seal or "technique formula" (術式, jutsu-shiki) to mark the destination. After this is done, the user enters a dimensional void which instantaneously transports them to the location of the seal.
Minato applied the formula in advance to weapons such as special kunai. By giving one such kunai to a person, he can immediately teleport to that person at any time. He can also apply the mark to a touched area, such as his opponent or some other surrounding feature.[2][3]
The technique is fast enough to even allow Minato to escape being warped away, despite the latter already being sucked in. Minato can also use this technique to teleport other objects, such as when he used it to teleport the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox out of Konohagakure, though the size of the object determines the amount of chakra required.[4]
It is because of this technique that Konohagakure came out victorious in a battle against Iwagakure during the Third Shinobi World War, despite already running short on manpower in the front lines. After having his subordinates toss marked kunai randomly into the enemy ranks, Minato used the technique to appear within their ranks, using the great speed of this technique to seemingly appear to be in several places at once and wipe out entire squadrons one by one in moments before they could even react. This, combined with Minato's immense natural speed and reflexes makes this technique extremely deadly and according to A made Minato the fastest ninja to ever live.[5]
Minato also passed the technique on to his special guards, Genma Shiranui, Raidō Namiashi and another unknown shinobi. However, all three of them are needed to perform the technique. To do so, they form a circle with one another by performing the seal of confrontation with each other with their thumbs, middle and index fingers touching. This allows them to transport anything within the confines of the ring. As they are now the guards of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade has been marked with the technique formula.[6]
- Minato also incorporated the formula into his wife's seal, allowing him to come to her aid at any time.[7]
- Although it is often compared with the Body Flicker Technique, the speed and range of this technique are much greater. In principle, this technique is instead similar to the Summoning Technique, as it revolves around the manipulation of the space–time continuum rather than accelerated movement, but instead of bringing something to the user, it sends them somewhere.
- The name Hiraishin is also the phonic of the Japanese word 避雷針, which means "lightning rod". This may suggest the reasoning as to why the technique is restricted towards a seal, because lightning is attracted to lightning rods.
- The technique can create smoke similar to a Summoning Technique,[8] but that is not always the case.

Nats, Reds draw aces for rubber game
With all the hoopla surrounding Opening Day for the Nationals, Stephen Strasburg delivered a seven-inning performance that whets the appetite of Washington baseball fans hungry for what could be a full season of Strasburg's potential, one perhaps less encumbered by pitch and innings counts.
As he takes on his second assignment of the season, the question remains: When will Strasburg take his talents into the eighth inning of a game?
Whether that comes on Sunday remains to be seen. He'll have a tough assignment with the powerful Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Johnny Cueto opposing him, as the two National League powers play a rubber game at Great American Ball Park.
But after the way he threw in seven scoreless innings against the Marlins for openers, Strasburg certainly might have had a little more in the tank. But seven innings was his final innings tally, the seventh one of those in the right-hander's short and injury-interrupted career.
"Any other day, I would have gone further with him," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said after the opener, "but with the adrenaline going on Opening Day, he could have been a little spent. But he was outstanding.
"I didn't think he was tired, even at the end of the game. But during the first time out on Opening Day, he gave me seven solid innings, [and] I'm not pushing the envelope. I never have, I never will."
And it's safe to say the Reds have a good chance to make things difficult on Strasburg, anyway. After all, it was the Reds who put up a 15-spot on the board in Friday night's series opener before the Nationals rebounded for a wild 7-6 victory in 11 innings on Saturday.
The Reds will counter with their own Opening Day starter, who is also coming off a strong opening outing of the season. Cueto threw seven strong innings of his own, allowing just one run on three hits in a no-decision, as the game wound up being won by the Angels in 13 innings, 3-1. Cueto's nine strikeouts in that one marked the most by a Reds starter on Opening Day since Mario Soto had 10 in 1982.
Cueto is 4-2 with a 3.92 ERA against the Nationals in seven previous starts. It was in his only outing against the Reds that Strasburg claimed his final win of the 2010 season before going down that August with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.
But it's been a long road since then for Strasburg, one that was halted before the regular season was complete in 2012 to ensure his health, and the Nationals entered the postseason without him. Strasburg finished last season with 159 1/3 innings pitched.
Reds: Frazier, Cozart double trouble
A day after making an interesting bit of Reds history, Todd Frazier had another strong day at the plate, with a 3-for-5 performance, while Zack Cozart had a single and a sacrifice bunt. But what they did on Friday was one for the books.
When Frazier and Cozart each hit two home runs on Friday, it marked the first time in Reds history their starting shortstop and third baseman had multiple-homer games in the same game. In fact, they were the first such tandem to do that in a National League game since the Pirates' Jackie Hernandez and Richie Hebner in 1971.
• The Reds wound up lighting up the strikeouts late in Saturday's game, adding a total of nine more on Saturday to give Reds pitchers 52 for the season. The old record for five games was 45, set in 1990 and matched in 2011.
Nationals: LaRoche's back ailing
• First baseman Adam LaRoche was held out of Saturday's game with a stiff back. He might not play on Sunday, either, to give the injury two more days of rest, including Monday's off-day.
LaRoche said the muscles are "knotted up" in his back after the cold weather. He said getting back is dependent upon how he can perform, not how he feels.
"As soon as I can swing freely, even if there is still some pain there, I'm fine with that," said LaRoche, who is off to an 0-for-13 start this season.
• With one RBI on Saturday, Jayson Werth is now just one shy of the 500 mark for his career.
Worth noting
Following Sunday's game, the Nationals will welcome the Chicago White Sox for their first Interleague series of the season, starting Tuesday. ... The Reds travel to St. Louis to meet their fierce NL Central rivals in the Cardinals' home opener on Monday. ... The Reds and Nationals won't have to wait long to meet again, as they are scheduled for an April 25-28 meeting in Washington.

Silk is a natural fibre. The weaving of this fabric may therefore contain minor variations and irregularities. These are inherent characteristics of silk yarn and part of its beauty and allure. These characteristics are entirely natural and should, in no way, be considered as defects.
Other than our range of natural silk that is to be prepared for dyeing, silk fabric should not be washed as this will remove the dressing and therefore the silks crispness. Our silk should be professionally dry-cleaned where essential cleaning is necessary. However, we do not guarantee the results of dry-cleaning (nor do many dry-cleaners!) It is not necessary to wash silk prior to quilting. Where natural silk is being prepared for dyeing it may be washed gently in warm water and ironed with a cool iron while still wet
The dyes used in the production of coloured silk, especially strong colours such as red, are not always colourfast. There is a risk of fading from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. We always recommend lining and interlining when making curtains using a protection on the leading edge of the curtain.
Due to inherent production processes the sizes that we state on our website or labels are notional/approximate and may vary slightly from that stated. Sizes stated may include the selvedge.
Should it be necessary to iron silk fabric use a cool iron only on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
Re-ordering and colour matching
Most of our items we hold in stock, and can re-order when stocks are low. However, part of our range is one-off stock and when stock is finished we are unable to order more. When ordering, should you believe that you may want further supplies please ask at the time whether repeat orders are possible.
As silk is woven to order (and the threads dyed to specific colours for each weaving), subsequent deliveries may be from a different batch and there may be slight colour variations between deliveries. Should you want exact matching of colours please ensure that you order sufficient at the time.
The Silk that I received is a different colour from that which is displayed on your website
Silk, especially shot silk and silk brocades, is difficult to photograph as often the colour appears to change when the light falls on it from different angles. That is part of the beauty of silk! Also, the same photograph will look different on different computer screens due to the technology used, the screen settings and the age of the monitor. If the silk that you received is totally wrong for you requirements please return it to us uncut, and in its original packaging, and we will replace it with something more suitable or refund the cost of the silk. (See our Returns Policy.)
It if is important that you match an exact shade please send us a snippet, or a colour sample for us to match. We can also supply samples of the various silks in a particular colour range.

Flagging revenues, higher costs open budget gapsBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | January 03,2013MONTPELIER Faced with underperforming state revenues and higher-than-expected costs for mental health and human services, administration officials are asking lawmakers to dip into reserve funds and expend some recent court settlements.
The annual budget adjustment process got under way in earnest Wednesday when Finance Commissioner James Reardon unveiled a plan to plug the budgetary holes that have opened up since lawmakers approved the fiscal year 2013 spending plan in May.
Among the biggest setbacks: a July report in which state economists reduced revenue estimates by more than $10 million.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said weaker revenue forecasts have been compounded by increasing demands on government services.
In the big picture, one of the challenges we continue to face in government is that despite everyone asking for small, efficient government, the expectations for what government should be undertaking continue to grow, Spaulding said.
To preserve government services without running a deficit, Spaulding said, the Shumlin administration is asking lawmakers to take about $4.7 million from two reserve funds. He also wants them to spend the roughly $4.7 million collected in three major court settlements last year related to consumer protection.
This is ... to make sure we carry those programs through, cover our caseload increases and finish with a balanced budget, Spaulding said during a briefing for the media.
Upward pressures on this years budget are legion, ranging from $200,000 for increased mosquito control efforts in the wake of an eastern equine encephalitis outbreak this summer, to $560,000 in unanticipated gasoline costs for state police cruisers.
The lions share of the unexpected costs, however, stems from health care and human services, where the rollout of a new mental health system and higher caseloads have increased budgets, according to Reardon.
The most pointed increase comes at the Department of Mental Health, which will need about $20 million more than what lawmakers budgeted.
Mental Health Commissioner Mary Moulton said the additional request more than 10 percent of the annual budget stems largely from a failure to plan for operating costs at the newly opened eight-bed Green Mountain Psychiatric Care Center in Morrisville.
It just was not budgeted for, Moulton said Wednesday.
Rep. Martha Heath, a Westford Democrat and chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriations, said the increase in mental health spending isnt as pronounced as it appears on paper. New costs being absorbed in mental health, Heath said, have freed up money elsewhere in state government. All told, Heath said, the net increase in mental health spending amounts to only about $4.7 million in general fund money.
At the Department for Children and Families, costs are up by more than $10 million over what the administration projected earlier this year, an increase due largely to the number of children and adults using services, Reardon said.
He said that isnt necessarily a bad thing. For instance, Vermont will spent about $2 million more than expected to accommodate the high number of kids enrolled in early child care programs deemed to have met certain quality standards.
And thats something Im more than happy to pay for, because if you have quality child care at the front end, you have more chances for success as you enter elementary education, Reardon said.
He said he was more troubled by the nearly $4 million increase at the Department of Aging and Independent Living, money needed for services to people with disabilities.
That is not sustainable from my perspective, he said. And that is a combination of both new caseload and additional needs for existing caseload.
Administration officials resolved much of the budgetary shortfall by finding other revenue sources.
The Tax Department has seen fewer claims than it expected for homeowner and renter rebates, resulting in about $1.7 million in extra revenue.
The states share of Medicaid and long-term care costs, meanwhile, is about $13 million less than what lawmakers had thought it would be. And an actuarial revision in the state health insurance program freed up about $5.8 million.
Attorney General William Sorrell has collected about $4.7 million in settlements with GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen Pharma and Capital One money Reardon said should be used to plug the gap. He said he could not recall a year in which the state had relied so heavily upon court settlements to resolve midyear budget difficulties.
Heath, whose committee is meeting this week to vet the budget adjustment plan, said shes grateful the state has some Medicaid savings to offset some of the other increases. She said lawmakers will likely have questions about some aspects of the administrations proposal, including a request to double the budget for emergency housing assistance, from about $2 million to $4 million.
Which is really just money thats going to motel beds, Heath said. Well want to look at whats being done to prevent people from losing their homes in the first place.

Thats bold of you to call it a " 'styleised' fact "
A consumption-led economy has its pitfalls. It is based on loans and bonded future income. I hope the Chinese government educate the people on the balance between savings and borrowings. The danger to the Chinese is when the stock market goes into a dive and companies starts pulling in their credit facility thus causing the economy into a tailspin. And adversaries will look for opportunity to crash your economy.
Unless the Commies put much much more redbucks into the hand of the masses instead of the billionaires and the SOEs, it it hard to see how the economy can be tilted towards consumption.
As long as consumption's contribution to growth exceeds its share of GDP, that share will rise. It is true. Consumption, talked about by economists, officials and so-called experts for many years as an critical engine for China's economic growth, has been underperforming over years.With the accumulated wealth in the wake of enormous economic expansion, the consumption ability of governmental organizations as well as the ordinary people, has rised greatly, demonstrated by the soaring online sale, booming tourism, surging overseas purchase,etc. Moreover, as people born in the 1980s become the mainstream buyer in the market, the consumption will go up due to the generation's will to spend their money. Issues at stake now include how to explore the consumption ability of the 80% population living in the poorer sphere, and how to absorb the excessive supply reflected by the extravagent yet desolated shopping malls that can be seen all over the country.
Has anyone noticed about the pollution in China? The sad stories behind those shining figures. Hope the government take serious concern about that!
Noboby can believe the statistics provided by Chinese govt. If consunption is the deciding factor then INDIA at the same stage also.
How about the number of GM cars, and smartphones, computers sold in China. What a joke you are.
Consumption or consumer-led economy, by definition, is in a very shaky boat. The shaken US and European financial situation testifies to that. The consumer can only purchase when he/she has spare funds available. And that also requires a personal income flow-in through work, consumed production or healthy trade results. That is, of course, dependent upon a positive local and/or export system throbbing well. No matter what you are selling, if there is no one with a shopping bag, you are doomed. When that happens, the personal income flow dries up and there is less purchasing power. Hence, good luck to China. Let's just hope that the low global consumption does not knock there export down.
It is nothing strange, consumption will increase after the economy expands and people have wealth, China is no exception to that. It is just that they have more people than other countries and that is speaking the figure.
China's consumption is no exception and it will face the same problems as countries did. Its just economy in work.
des man, you are absolutely right. China has created a middle class of 350 million people (the size of US population); perhaps with lower buying power then their American counter part which sadly is declining in numbers every year. This middle class have become the home grown consumers. China's coastal regions export led economy located in the east of the country has reached its peak because of unfortunate economic woes in EU and USA; this is just half the story. China has embarked upon infrastructure development in the underdeveloped west of the country for its future industrialization to solve the problem of income disparity. In other words, China has long way to go before high labour costs reduce its higher than average economic expansion. Its middle class has yet to expand in the western regions.
Plentg of growth ahead
China is becoming part of the exclusive group of mainstream economies that run the world nowadays. The days when western companies used to go to China to invest mainly because of its cheap labour are gone. They now go to China to produce and SELL. No wonder GM's total vehicles sold in China outpaced its U.S. sales for the first time in 2011.
But...China cooks its numbers!
LOL... Not very smart, are you? lol
The mountains of money which China lends to USA year after year, is it the result of cooking the books? Wake up, the world is not only changing, it is changing very rapidly.
Jim O'Neal the Chairman at Goldman Sachs Asset Management has written a book called The Growth Map. He looks at the progress made by the BRICs (excluding South Africa) since he coined the acronym back in 2001. He looks at what fuels growth using variables such as the World Bank's growth environment score (GES). Consumption is a big trump card. He also looks at the Next 11 emerging economies. It is interesting that the Economist's article on China potentially suggests that consumption is a problem.
Whether comsumption or investment leads China's Growth TODAY, niether means anything when it comes to Monetary power and workforce. By holding pretty much The US's entire debt as an investment in its hands (and who wouldn't want to have this investment!!), the US's economy is based on pure and simple AIR, yes air, the US of A has no economy, its mediocre existance is in the hands of mega money traders, futures, and IN GOD WE TRUST treature notes... , On the other hand, China does have and ACTUAL Economy, it is setting up itself to become a Super Power TOMORROW; drawing raw materials from South America, signing Trade treaties with India, Australia and South America, and handshaking for Oil from Canada, it is expected to supercede anyones expectations for growth TODAY, TOMORROW or in the FUTURE.
Everyone, Start speaking Chinese.
René From Canada
You sir are a fool. By any measure that you arbitrarily decide to define " a real economy " the U. S. A. has a larger economy than China; and you of course being a Canadian would be crushed if the U. S. economy suddenly ceased to exist. You sound like one of the typical American hating bigots all too common on Economist forums.
How do you know Reneinwindsor is a Canadian?
How do you know Reneinwindsor is a Canadian?
"You" sir only strengthens my point. and I THANK YOU for doing so... as you are FUll of Hot Air and no substance... I'd recommend you check your closet for labels like "MADE IN CHINA" ... oh I forgot!, do you own an Iphone? an Ipad perhaps? THEY ARE MADE FOR APPLE INC. IN C.H.I.N.A. ... shall I continue? Not Worth it my Dear "Yankee Doodle" SIR.
and yes, How did you know I was from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Hmm, Interesting... Too Much Time in your hands?... unemployed by any chance?, I'm sorry that was too harsh, perhaps I should recommend you read this week's TIME magazine on this very subject...
Good Bye and Please Take a "Cold Shower" tonight on us Canucks from the North.

He may have suspected that you were Canadian because you signed your post "Rene in Canada." But I've got a sneaking suspicion that you're 五毛党. This post looks suspiciously like it was written by an ESL student.
LOL.... This is funny. In every economy, the savings is used for investment. It is only in the US, that savings run in the negative, and this is why the US need immigrants savings, and Chinese, and Japanese buying US bonds. US economy is big, but it is based on air. LOL It is not a real economy at all.

'holding pretty much the entire US debt ... in its hands'.
Check your facts (e.g. by typing 'US creditors' in any search engine). China holds ~8% of US debt.
I stand corrected FN7icNX5BV, thank you for the clarification:
"In total, China owns about 8 percent of publicly held U.S. debt. Of all the holders of U.S. debt China is the third-largest, behind only the Social Security Trust Fund's holdings of nearly $3 trillion and the Federal Reserve's nearly $2 trillion holdings in Treasury investments, purchased as part of its quantitative easing program to boost the economy."
Yes, You're right, I noticed I signed "Rene in Canada", my bad, however, I'm not "五毛党" ("Fifty Cent Party?"), I used Google Translate. "?"
I was born in Hawaii "would you like to see my birth certificate?", LOL, but Seriously, I am French Canadian.

These Chinese typing aholes should be kicked out of English forums, they use this to imply something or have a private chat in a public forum.
Actually I work a full time job and a part time job while I go to school part time so I don't have the time to fill a post with all the facts and figures that are readily available if you to take the time to find them.
As far as Apple products go if you understand global capitalism then the iphone and ipad are "made" in the U. S. assembled in China (a low value added job) with components sourced from a variety of countries. Apple has a good enough margin that they could assemble them in the U. S. and still be profitable they don't because they have a responsibility to shareholders to maximize returns, as fundamentals change (which is quickly happening in China) Apple will adapt.
The U. S. is one of the largest producers of oil and gas and is on track to produce more than Saudi Arabia by 2020, the largest producer of agricultural products, a major producer of a wide variety of natural resources, and produces nearly as much manufactured goods as China, I'm sure you consider these real things. It is the leader in software and services, cloud computing and high tech research, aerospace, a major player in medicines and a leader in many of the high tech developments such as robotic surgery. I could continue to go on and on but like I said I don't have the time...
And yes I knew you were from Canada because you posted it >. >
As a neutral observer, sir, you stand out as a bigger bigot than the person you are accusing. Had you could made your point with in the norms of civilized comment, your comment would have been appreciated, instead you have defeated you own objective, SORRY!
And you sir are a bigoted and blinkered old fool who do not want to face reality. Well carry on sleeping and fantasising. When you wake up, if you do wake up, it will be a world that you are not familar.
Having lived in China for most of the last 10 years, I am a business man, rather than an economist. I have always been stunned at the economists' criticism towards consumption not growing enough in China when we've all seen the car market explode, tens of millions of Chinese suddenly starting to dress up, retail companies all showing double-digita growth. It seems China bashing has often been the reason for not recognizing simple facts: China is a high investment economy, but it is first and foremost one of the fastest growing domestic economies due to very strong consumption growth at home. If China lowered import taxes on key foreign goods it does not manufacture, this would be even more true (think premium and luxury items from cars to watches and jewelleries).
I am not in the profession and know few terms to describe economic scenarios in China today, and my perspective toward China is simply out of my daily life.
It's said that momentum to push economy forward stems from three factors, namely, investment, foreign trade and consumption. It is more than 3 decades that the economy in China has been driven mainly by government investment and foreign trade alongside with disproportionate domestic consumption. Ever since 2008, changes have taken place as volumes of foreign trade shrank dramatically, and promoting domestic consumption was on the agenda One of the reasons to explain such an unbalanced model is that there is a fear for rainy days among Chinese for short of due insurance coverage to counteract the would-be misfortune. With more than 1.3 billion populations to feed, there has been no universal medical insurance in China until now. And uncontrollable house prices have used all nest eggs of each and every household. Furthermore, the cost of kindergarten is even higher than that of college, and brand milk powders will be another bite of income from a young couple. With all the above mentioned causes, how consumption confidence index turns out to be encouraging.
Unlike matured free markets, China or rather, Chinese are not accustomed to market-oriented allocation of resources in transitional period from planned economy to market economy. They'd rather hail an all-powerful government to handle and keep all risks at bay with their stereotyped conception that 'Turn to government for help rather than turn to market for way out'. Government investment is absolutely necessary, which not only makes face-lifting but also offers jobs to keep society stable and prosper. Reforms in hospital are cushioned by government investment paralleled with private insurance accounts; reforms in housing are also in need of government investment to set up more affordable houses for the needy. Schools in rural areas are in want of government investment to offer a nutrimeal for children.
My conclusion is that government investment is irreplaceable granted that overlapped investment be avoided. Domestic consumption will go up if only Chinese have no family considerations that cause delay in decisions.
As a consequence, much more will be expected from the reform on distribution system in China to be issued next month that is hoped to make our pockets thicker.
You need to read "Why Nations Fail" by Acemoglu and Robinson. When nations start at the low level of development that China started at in the 1980's, state-led development can accomplish a great deal in a short time, but it eventually hits a brick wall because state directed investment is guided by politics and very wasteful. Only private investment can create sustainable growth.
Also, the Western media has fooled most people into thinking that China's development was due to state investment. It is not. After Deng's reforms, private investment, especially FDI from expat Chinese, did the heavy lifting. Only after the economy began growing and people saved did the state have the funds to begin investing.
A lot of investment over the past two decades has been state led, but most of it was wasted on ghost cities.
Acemoglu and Robinson write about what economists call the curse of middle development. Many nations have achieved rapid early development only to hit the wall and stop at middle level development. That happens because they never changed their institutions to encourage private investment. The early growth was state led investment.
China is about to hit that wall. When it does the people are likely to respond in the same way as the Greeks have.
I think I agree with you in part when it comes to private investment, which is one of the ways China is testing to gain sustainable development. Comepared with government investment, private investment has been proved more effective and profitable, so to speak. Case in point is that any radical approach to reforms in investment or development model in China will lead to social chaos like what happened in China in the late 1950s and the early 1960s. There is no possibility like the crisis in Greece in that what China stresses is higher employment and smaller supply of public goods. What is worrying is the widening gap between the rich and the poor resulted from unfair distribution of wealth created by all citizens and corruptions caused by state investment without supervision.
China differs a lot from any country with its huge populations and its historical burdens on people's mindset, which weighs more than any polciy taken to sustain development. As faras I see, government investment is necessary, and private investment plays a complementary part in transitional period from planned economy to market oriented one.
It is very true, but unlike Latin countries, the Chinese are different. We focus on education, and hard work. We strive for perfection unlike Europeans, and Americans. You see, from singapore, HK, to Korea, and Japan. The race is driven to succeed. So China will excape the middle income trap.
"We strive for perfection unlike Europeans, and Americans" you are a profoundly racist person.
I would like to think you are right about escaping the middle income trap, but the trap has nothing to do with education and hard work. It has to do with institutions: the rule of law, reduced corruption, respect for property, etc.
Which fool of a private investor would build a road to an isolated village and there are millions of them in China, or provide water, electricity and schools to them? Brick wall, middle income gap? Have you ever consider the cultural factor in economic development. Tell me why East Germany develop much faster than Poland or even Russia although all are European countries and under communism at one time.
all those are important but what is even more important is the cultural factor, a people that is willing to study hard, work hard and saves lots of money for investment. Do you think that a people that will party at a drop of a hat can break the middle income gap? Such ignorance is very common in western circles.
As a Chinese, I think there are two things to add up to this fabulous analysis:
1. From 2002 to 2012, we HAVE built up a social insurance system that covering the whole population(nearly, if not all as the government says). My grandparents have been used to save for their retirement, and now we are mocking on this.But more because of the inflation and the increasing of average income, I think.
2. We DO earn more and spend more, although not at the same pace for everyone. For instance, several years ago, the income of all teachers have been doubled by the government, which urged a prosperity in the apartments in my city.
My family has witnessed the waves of income raise, which enable me to travel around China in the past years.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
Saving for the rainy days is what Chinese used to stick to and still follow when there is no sound security system at work especially when China is entering the aging society and there is the only child to support the aged parents. With more and more demands for a bed in a nursing house for the elderly, our parents would like to save even more for a better place when they retire with no child to be living with them to take care of them.
Tourism does play an important role in growing model in China these years, which is of course the driving force for economy.
Do you means, in the USA some elder parents are also supported or attended by their children? I thought the grown-up kids in your country no longer live with or take care of their parents.
It's certain that you mistook me as an American. I am Chinese living in mainland for all my life.
In the US or countries in the western Europe, aged parents either live alone or have a bed in a nursing center, which is sadder than the elderly persons in China though the situation in China is less serious than that in the US.
I wonder to what extent this is just a pricing phenomenon. Food prices there have been rising at rapid clip. Meanwhile, due to overcapacity, drop off in FDI, and other factors, prices of investment related goods are probably falling. That would shift the GDP contribution in favor of consumption even when consumption growth has not accelerated.
Food prices rise because of constrained supply due to lack of investment in agriculture. At the same time, people have lots of new cash printed by the state to spend. A lot of that cash comes from building massive ghost cities. It's Keynesian econ at its fullest.
If China's growth in consumption comes at the expense of savings, then China is consuming future growth. If not, it must have come from increases in private investment.
China's problem has always been too much wasteful state spending wrongly called investment. There is a huge difference between private investment and state investment. Private investment increases per capita wealth and creates sustainable increases in consumer spending.
State spending is mostly waste.
Then how did the commie CCP managed China grows at 10% per year for 30 years? Did they discover a way of immaculate GDP growth? Oh I forgot it's due to the dastardly FDI and private local investment. Since it is a well known fact that only SOE or their incestous companies get bank loans, how did China grow without public sector investment? Talk sense or forever keep your peace.
Dear Author(s),
Thank you for the article. The premise is somewhat profound, and if reconcilable to realities within China, is something we should be mindful of in crafting strategies.
However, a question comes to mind about how the meanings of your statistical representations might change if stated in terms of per-capita domestic consumption?
It has been a few years since reading China's internal economic numbers in meaningful detail (Oxford). As any legitimate student of economics should admit, one does not simply gain, and then casually maintain, a durable understanding of any economy. Understanding China's economy has been exceptionally difficult due to the absence of forthright economic data sources within. Even societies as open and countable as America have difficulty understanding their own economics. Persistently, this has meant that much China analysis remains notional, no matter how well-respected the outlet or how well-crafted the words.
Specific to the question, in my earlier studies of the matter, an important relationship observed was how per-capita domestic consumption within China's population impacts the overall strength of China economically.
The preponderence of evidence suggested a critical relationship between the two, and a particularly obstinate damping trend with profound ramifications that began in the mid-1980's.
The conclusion (of the portion of my research focused in this area) suggested per-capita domestic consumption is a fundamental shaper and damper of China's internal economics, and is largely rooted in prevailing societal norms transcending China's modern-era.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
A very interesting comment. I would like to read some of your work on the Chinese economy.
Dear A. Mod.,
Thank you, I am honored by your request.
With the exception of a few old academic pieces (notable for failing to grasp visceral realities that did not penetrate my alabaster walls), I haven't any public works to share. It is not my privilege to accept attribution for those that are recent enough to be meaingful.
In any case, as an individual who has not been blessed with spending a meaningful amount of time in-situ immersed in the details of China's affairs, I would be ashamed to hold myself out as a worthy Sinologist.
Trying to make a study behind reserve accumalation in emerging markets. does anyone know of any journals/ articles that could be of use.?
large topic... maybe these can help. they focus primarily on the domestic implications:
Löffler, A., G. Schnabl, and F. Schobert (2012). Limits of Monetary Policy Autonomy by East Asian Debtor Central Banks. CESifo Working Paper No. 3742 .
Mohanty, M. S. and P. Turner (2006). Foreign exchange reserve accumulation in emerging markets: what are the domestic implications. BIS Quarterly Review.
Park, D. and G. B. Estrada (2009). Are Developing Asia's Foreign Exchange Reserves Excessive? An Empirical Examination. ADB Economics Working Paper Series No. 170 .
Patnaik, I. and A. Shah (2010, February 2010). Asia confronts the Impossible Trinity. ADBI Working Paper Series (204).
It will be good for Chinese economy if the Dragon gets out of the peoples way and let people decide what they want to buy.. like not the state but people decide how many cars they can buy and which college they want to send their kids to...
No one forces people to decide how many or what kind of cars to buy and which college they want to send their kids to in China today. It is up only to how much you can earn as your income...
While it may be true that no one "decides" the state always has an influence. Even in free – market U. S. there are subsidies for state run education institutions as well as subsidies for electric vehicles etc.
Obviously a guy who do not even understand the fundamental of Economics. If you let people chose, there must be waste. Economics is the study and allocation of scarce resources in the most efficient manner. Built 10 colleges for people to chose and 10 models of cars for people to select is to waste resources and also pollute the environment which westerners are so fond of hashing without connecting the dots.
The international trade numbers back this up.
EU exports to China are up an impressive 11% in the year to June, while imports from China grew by a piffling 1%.
Definitely rebalancing/ consumption growth in China. Let's just hope that missalocation of credit doesn't spoil the party any time soon - Chinese consumption growth is supporting global demand (or removing a net drain from global demand - whichever way you see it).
