News From China - Vol. 2 No. 3
By Editorial Staff
Published April 22, 2008
In two years, the State Education Commission (SEC) will require students at all 1,065 Chinese universities to begin paying an annual fee of RMB 1000-1500 (approximately $120-180) depending on their exam scores. The government will continue to pay the majority of the current yearly costs of $1,000-1,200. The move is expected to help China's colleges out of a serious cash shortage. The number of university students has tripled since 1978 to 2.5 million, and funding from the government has not kept pace. The SEC also announced that college graduates will have more freedom to select their own jobs by the year 2000, although the state will still retain overall responsibility for assigning jobs. The government plans to set up a network of employment centers around the country. (CNCR)
AT&T Corp. said it plans to invest another $150 million in China by 1996 and to double its 1,000-strong work force within three years. The telephone giant recently signed contracts worth $150 million to supply equipment and services to southern Guangdong Province, the first part of a five-year $500 million agreement announced last fall. China plans to add 12 million to 15 million lines of capacity in 1994 and is expected to quicken the pace, AT&T Chairman Robert Allen said following a weeklong trip to China.
After a massacre by a deranged gunman in Beijing in which more than 30 people were wounded, a Western diplomat said, "Social upheaval is leading to this crime wave." A government official commented, "The security situation in many rural areas is chaotic. Crimes committed by gangs in the cities and towns are serious, and the populace does not feel safe."
China's government has pacified some Muslims in Xinjiang Province by subsidizing mosques and clerical salaries. In the last 20 years, 2,500 mosques have been built or repaired in Kashgar, home to 9,500 mosques, or about half of the province's total. About 62 percent of Xinjiang's 16 million people are Muslims.

A group of the world's largest companies recently voted China the top country for foreign investment. Nine out of ten firms, however, said possible political instability is a major deterrent to long-term investment. (South China Morning Post Weekly)
U.S. government officials have recently concluded that China and Israel are collaborating to develop and produce an improved fighter plane for the Chinese Air Force. Comparable to an American F-16, the new jet will be based on the "Lavi," a model that the U.S. once planned to help Israel build, but dropped because of mounting costs. The Chinese plane will incorporate extensive technological innovations derived from the Lavi project. China and Israel have already finished work on a prototype, and production will probably begin soon at a plant in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, according to U.S. officials. The plane's deployment is seen as a major step in Beijing's effort to modernize its air force. Some observers predict it could mean trouble for China's long-standing rival, Taiwan.

A telecommunications satellite that would have revolutionized Asia's television market broke into several huge pieces a minute after liftoff in late January, according to the Xinhua new agency. Chinese state television briefly broadcast live the liftoff of the Long March No. 2 rocket carrying the Apstar-2 satellite from the launch center in Xichang in southwest Sichuan Province. The satellite would have enabled broadcasters to reach two-thirds of the world's population. The failure was the second serious blow to China's satellite program. Last fall, a communications satellite failed to go into operation because of a fuel leak, according to People's Daily. The leak on board the Dong Fang Hong No. 3 satellite caused it to run out of fuel. (Xinhua, People's Daily)
Already in 250 million homes, MTV plans to start broadcasting in Mandarin in China. By the end of last year, MTV Asia delivered local programming to 18 countries in Asia. The new expansion will put MTV in more than 500 million homes. MTV already covers Japan, Europe, Brazil, and several Spanish-speaking countries. "Kids on the streets in Tokyo have more in common with the kids on the streets in London than they do with their parents," says MTV's owner, Sumner Redstone. "We're catching these kids at a stage in life when all kids are essentially the same, when they virtually have to rebel from their parents." (Pulse)
"Change in China will be both explosive and erratic," predicted Carol Lee Hamrin, senior U.S. research specialist on China at the U.S. Department of State and an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University. "Change in the political system is inevitable. In fact, it's been dangerously delayed by Deng Xiaoping's longevity." China's Asian neighbors, who are pouring billions into the mainland, worry about an explosion of inflation, joblessness, and social upheaval if things go badly. "China is at a critical stage," says Peter Bottelier of the World Bank's Beijing office. "What happens is important for China and, almost by definition now, the rest of the world." (Pulse)
U.S. military commanders planned nuclear strikes against China in 1954 to protect South Korea and French-ruled Indochina from aggression, according to documents released last December. The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff formulated their plans in a previously classified April 17, 1954, memorandum titled "Analysis of Possible Courses of Actions in Korea." The memo was written 10 months after a June 26, 1953, truce brought an uneasy halt to the 1950-1953 Korean War in which Chinese and Soviet-backed North Korean forces invaded the south. Warren Cohen, an expert on U.S.-Chinese relations at the University of Maryland, said the Joint Chiefs' memo showed that the U.S. military did not want to fight another Korean-style limited war.
Chinese aircraft manufacturers are expected to make 20 planes for the U.S. aerospace company McDonnell Douglas Corp. by the end of the century. Four Chinese firms will collaborate on the MD-90-30, according to the China National Aviation Industry Corp. The Chengdu Aircraft Co. will make the nose, boarding gate, service gate, and stairs. (Xinhua News Agency)
Jason S. Berman, chief executive officer of the Recording Industry of America, showed pirated compact discs during talks with Chinese officials in Beijing on intellectual property rights. Pirated discs and tapes are those that are illegally copied. Berman bought the pirated discs for $1.50 each, far below the normal price. He said the piracy of U.S. goods in China is costing American companies millions of dollars in lost trade.
A six-person delegation from the China State Planning Commission visited eight cities in the U.S. in January to explore new markets. The Commission, which approves all major economic projects in the U.S., studied the American economy looking for ways to promote business between the two countries, according to Hejin Bai, deputy secretary general of the Commission.
China has introduced tougher fines for employers who exploit their workers or force them to work overtime in order to survive in the stiffer competitive environment spawned by reforms. A code accompanying China's first labor law allows employers to be fined $12 for each extra hour an employee is forced to work. They face a $6,000 fine if industrial safety or hygiene installations are found below standard. (China Daily)
The Chinese economy remained "buoyant" in 1994, according to The Economist. Industrial output was up by 5.9 percent in November and by 28.1 percent throughout 1994. (Economist)
The Three Gorges Dam, a project of Premier Li Peng, costs $35 billion and will displace 1.3 million people. Observers have expressed serious doubts that the dam will effectively control flooding on the Yangtze River. (Far Eastern Economic Review)
Walt Disney Co. denied reports that the entertainment company is planning to build a theme park in China and said no negotiations are under way. The denial comes in the face of reports by Japan's Nikkei news service that Chinese officials visited Disney headquarters in California last year to discuss the project. The Nikkei report detailed Disney's plans for a Chinese theme park proposed for Guilin. Nikkei quoted Disney officials saying it could be completed by 1998 and would require an investment of $2 billion. The Nikkei report said negotiations with local authorities are almost complete but the company is waiting for clearance from the central government. It added that the site would occupy more than four square miles and would include an airport. (Orlando Sentinel)
Xiao Rong, daughter of Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, has written a book, My Father Deng Xiao-ping. She was recently in the U.S. promoting sales of the book. (Time)
The modern technology of ultrasound, which can determine the sex of a baby in the womb, is being used indirectly to kill many baby girls in China. Many families want only boys, and each year millions of women undergo abortions to kill baby girls. When abortion fails, infant girls are sometimes abandoned to die. Some observers fear a massive shortage of wives for a hundred million Chinese men within the next few years. Abortion is also unsafe for women. A Chinese physician who opposes abortion for medical reasons said, "The government is injuring millions of women this way." (Sing Tao Jih Pao, Rutherford Institute)
The Chinese legislature has passed a controversial new law to control marriage and births. It was originally proposed in 1993 and caused widespread international criticism and comparison to policies pursued by Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. The new law aims to prevent those with serious mental disabilities or contagious diseases from marrying or having children, and states that "abnormal" fetuses and those carrying hereditary diseases should be aborted. Xinhua commented that China has more than 10 million disabled people "whose births could have been prevented if such a law had been in effect when their parents were marrying or having children." (CNCR)
Beijing has announced a broad ban on cigarette advertising, which will affect television, radio, newspapers, magazine, and cinema. International tobacco companies say they can still make money in this lucrative market by sponsoring special events and broadcasts. Marlboro, for example, sponsors the 12 teams of China's national soccer league as well as music programs on radio and TV. Britain's B.A.T Industries, whose 555 brand cigarette is perhaps the best-known foreign brand in China, sponsors sporting events such as the Hong Kong-to-Beijing Motor Rally and also gives money to schools through an education foundation. The ban, which was to go into effect in February, also requires tobacco companies to put health warnings on advertisements. An estimated 500,000 people a year die of smoking-related illness in China, and the Chinese Academy for Preventive Medicine estimates health costs related to smoking were $3.3 billion in 1989. China's 300 million smokers consume 1.8 trillion cigarettes a year. (Wall Street Journal)
A German expedition team has become the first to ever cross the center of the Gobi Desert. Previous teams have gone only to the edge of the desert. Leader Bruno Baumann said the 15-member team encountered sand mountains as high as 1,320 feet. The 21-day expedition, which cost $35,000, included five other Europeans, four Chinese guides, five camel drivers, and 30 camels.
China's population was predicted to reach 1.2 billion by the end of last year, earlier than expected. By 2000, it may top 1.3 billion, with 1 billion in rural and farming areas. By then, the number of unemployed or not fully employed could reach 20%. (Ming Pao)
Chinese authorities broke up more than 150,000 criminal gangs during 1993, and will soon target organized crime with national anti-Triad laws. (South China Morning Post Weekly)
"Imperial Tombs of China," a massive exhibition featuring 250 artifacts spanning 24 centuries of China's history, will debut in April in Memphis, Tennessee. The treasures will then tour U.S. cities including Provo, Utah; Portland, Oregon, and Denver, Colorado. Other cities, including Orlando, Florida, are currently negotiating to have the exhibition displayed at their museums. Among the artifacts in the exhibition are a crown fitted with 100 jewels and 2,000 pearls, a burial shroud made of 2,000 pieces of jade, and a complete throne room from a palace. Approximately 65 percent of the exhibition's pieces are rated by the Chinese government as national treasures.
The first research institute devoted to issues of morality and culture has been set up in Beijing. The Beijing Eastern Morality Research Institute, which is headquartered at the Beijing Youth Politics College, will explore how to educate the nation's youth in traditional Chinese morality. (Ming Pao)
Even as the West revels in the spread of market economics worldwide, some geopolitical analysts see trouble ahead. Vast job dislocations, including in China, threaten stability and economic growth. Environmental stresses are expected to become acute in China, India, and southeast Asia. In China, for example, the city of Tianjin is sinking 2.5 meters a year as its groundwater is depleted. Due to smog, Benxi is invisible to satellite cameras. (Pulse)
1995 is the year of state-enterprise reform in China. The designation is intended, among other goals, to stop inflation, which is China's biggest economic and social worry. "We are not going to waste scarce resources on the production of useless goods," said Wang Youwei, deputy mayor of Dalian, after sending home 50,000 workers because production at their factories was suspended. The Economist predicts 1995 will also "be the year of trouble in the state sector." (Economist)
In 1993, a record 909,000 couples in China obtained divorces — three times more than in 1991. (CATW)
China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew nearly 12 percent in 1994 to $509 billion. According to Time, the economy has become dangerously overheated, despite admission by Marxist stalwarts that economic liberalization has saved China from the fate of the defunct Soviet bloc. (Time)
Kentucky Fried Chicken, which opened its first restaurant in China in 1987, believes that China will be one of its 10 largest markets within ten years. In 20 years, it could be the largest market. The company currently operates in 71 countries. (Rutherford Institute)

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With "preaching to the lost" being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!

"These videos helped change my mind from pro-choice to pro-life. Your videos are what did it for me. I will be walking in next year's March For Life in San Francisco." — A. Jackson, California

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

Van Persie shares in Muamba's special day as first picture emerges of fairytale wedding
Seven months ago he was lying on the White Hart Lane turf after collapsing and suffering a cardiac arrest during an FA Cup tie, with doctors saying he was 'in effect dead' for almost 80 minutes.
But following on from his miraculous recovery earlier this year, ex-Bolton Wanderers star Fabrice Muamba married his fiancée Shauna last Saturday at the 19th century Peckforton Castle in Cheshire.
And the first picture from the ceremony shows the happy couple with Manchester United striker Robin van Persie and his wife Bouchra, who were part of a star-studded guest list from the world of football.
Happy couple: Fabrice Muamba (right) married Shauna Magunda (second right) at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire on Saturday. The couple are here pictured with Robin Van Persie and his wife Bouchra.
Wed: Following on from his miraculous recovery earlier this year, ex-Bolton Wanderers star Fabrice Muamba (right) married his fiancée Shauna (left) on Saturday at the 19th century Peckforton Castle in Cheshire
Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry flew in from New York to be Muamba's best man.
Other guests included former Bolton teammates Stuart Holden and Martin Petrov, Reading player Jason Roberts and former England striker Andrew Cole.
Muamba also invited some of the medical staff who helped save his life, including cardiologist Dr Andrew Deaner and Dr Sam Mohiddin from the London Chest Hospital.
Muamba, 24, told Hello! magazine: 'This year has been a difficult one but, to me, marriage is a happy ending.'
Shock: Bolton Wanderers' manager Owen Coyle (second right) stands beside Tottenham players, Benoit Assou-Ekotto (left), William Gallas (second left) and Carlo Cudicini (right) after Muamba's collapse in March
Emotional return: Muamba waves to the crowd prior to a match between Bolton and Tottenham Hotspur in May
Shauna, 27, was a constant presence at Muamba's bedside following his dramatic collapse during Bolton's FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham Hotspur in March, which shocked the footballing world.
Their wedding was held at the castle where Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, 33, and Sunderland player Wes Brown, 33, both had their marriages.
Muamba proposed to Shauna on Valentine's Day earlier this year, just a month before the cardiac arrest happened. He was forced to retire from professional football in August despite his recovery.
The couple have a three-year-old son named Joshua, who acted as a page boy.
Dr Mohiddin said: 'Seven months ago this day was completely inconceivable. I just feel elated for Fabrice and Shauna, and so honoured to be here to celebrate with them.'
Van Persie said the day was 'particularly special' because of everything Muamba has been through this year.
He said: 'The cardiac arrest had a big impact on everyone in football, and we all lived the moment as Fab recovered in hospital. Everyone is so relieved and happy for him and Shauna.'

"One Book, One City" initiatives, whereby local residents all read and discuss the same book during a set period of time, have spread ...
"One Book, One City" initiatives, whereby local residents all read and discuss the same book during a set period of time, have spread to hundreds of municipalities across the country since Seattle pioneered the concept eight years ago.
Someday, I'm going to write a feature story for Governing that explores the impact--if any--that "One Book" activities--small-group discussions, lectures, film screenings, dramatic readings and other events--have on participating communities.
In the meantime, I just learned of a new approach the Chicago Public Library is taking with its selection for 2006, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitzyn: Chicagoans who read the book can engage in online discussions with participating residents in their sister city of Moscow.
In partnership with the All-Russia State Library for Foreign Literature (which presumably will provide Cyrillic translation services), this "international book club" has the potential to put Americans in a direct dialogue with some of the 20 million Soviet citizens who actually experienced the gulag.
It certainly introduces a new dimension beyond chatting about Tom Sawyer with your neighbor across the back fence.

This was fairly flavorless. It could be doctored up to taste better, but on its own, there's not much to it. We added more lemon juice. If I were to make it again (not likely), I'd probably add some other herbs and spices.
This is a wonderful side dish. I had it with pork chops, carrots and some crusty bread. The bitterness of the lettuce balances very well with the sweetness of the peas. Only change I made, I substituted 1 1/2 tb flat italian parsley for the thyme as I prefer it with peas. Thanks for a nice dish.

With a history of 26 years the Burning Man Festival website has accumulated a vast archive of helpful information for those venturing out into the desert including an intricate community discussion forum known as ePlaya. It is here that all those obscure and random questions you might have before going out into the desert can be answered from practical preparation questions about shelter, food, clothing and water to more conceptual discussions about the meaning of the Burning Man festival itself.
To help stay alive out in the desert, and to ensure all those who participate in the festival are prepared, Burning Man also provides first time "burners" a survival guide highlighting some of the ten core principles of the Burning Man festival; radical self reliance and communal effort. This is mandatory reading and proved extremely helpful for the Unknown Fields team of twenty-four participants. Before we ventured out into Black Rock City we made a couple of stops along the way to pick up some key supplies with water, food and materials for creating a sun shelter being top of our list.
The survival guide advised us to provide 1.5 gallons of water per person per day that turned out to be about 180 gallons for the entire Unknown Fields group that thankfully we were able to store on the bus as well as in our own individual tents. In the dry arid heat with temperatures potentially reaching 100F we were advised to create a large enough sunshade to prevent our tents from becoming small convection ovens during the intense early morning heat as well providing a place to congregate during the dizzying midday heat. To prevent extreme dehydration we were not only advised to drink as much a water as possible but to sustain our electrolyte levels by eating salty throughout the day in addition to lathering ourselves up with sun protection factor 55.
We were also warned that this year was going to be one of the dustiest and stormiest years at Burning Man coined by the community as Dustpocalypse 2012. We needed to be ready with dusk masks and goggles to protect our faces and to ensure we purchased rebar to keep our tents and shade structures from being blown across the desert. Suddenly our time out in the desert disconnected from urban infrastructure, services and communication channels was about focusing on the physiological basics as set out in Maslow's Hierachy of Needs.

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said adequate economic stimulus is in place and that global central banks may not have the capacity to undertake additional measures.
"We're at the risk of overburdening the central banks," Fisher said in an interview on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keene.
"We keep applying what I call monetary Ritalin to the system. We all know there's a risk of overprescribing." (Ritalin is a drug used to treat depression and hyperactivity in children.)
Editor's Note: Economist Unapologetically Calls Out Bernanke, Obama for Mishandling Economy. See What They Did
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said July 17 that policy makers were studying options for further stimulus. The Fed refrained from announcing steps at a meeting last week.
Meanwhile, Fisher said the largest banks have $1.5 trillion in excess reserves that they would like to put to work and that the private sector now must take the next steps to boost growth. Lawmakers also must act to eliminate uncertainty about government spending and tax rates, Fisher said.
"We have done our job," Fisher said of the Fed. "We have done enough. Just doing more doesn't solve the problem. The problem is engaging the transmission. We provided the gas, the gas tank is full."

All Seven Hours of 4Knots Music Festival Condensed to Four Minutes (VIDEO)
One-day concert festivals are great for lots of reasons--it's just the right amount of bands performing with set times that don't completely overlap, the weather only gets one chance to fuck things up, and it's a lot less likely you'll wake up afterwards wondering how you're still alive now that your blood is made of beer. In my case, the best perk of a one-day festival is only hearing people exclaim "OH MY GOD IS THAT A CAMERA ON YOUR HEAD?" for seven hours instead of 24. But I can't lie--walking (and running and crawling and falling...) around 4Knots with a GoPro was pretty damn fun. If you couldn't make it down to the Seaport Saturday, just watch the video I made below! The soundtrack is Kurt Vile and the Violators' "Freak Train."

Foundations of Competitive Strategy Industry Analysis Strategy Flowchart Where do Where are we want to Mission, Industry & we now? Vision, & be? Organizational Target Analysis Setting How do we get there? Competitive & Organizational Actions Where are we now? Organizational Environmental/Industry Analysis Analysis Strengths Opportunities Weaknesses Threats VRIO Porter Forces Model Industry Analysis As the Cramer case showed, it is critical to understand your industry. Cronin had the wrong model of what his industry was about. Industry analysis is about: Where are we now? What are our opportunities? What are our threats? Who is in position to capture the value that we create? Value The value of (surplus from) an activity is the difference between its benefit and its cost. Cost recall is defined in terms of economic cost. economic cost ignores sunk expenditures (i.e., expenses that cannot be affected by decisions over the relevant decision-making horizon) economic cost pays attention to imputed costs (e.g., an opportunity to utilize a resource in a different way). The Value of Trade When a good or service is traded, the value or surplus from that transaction is the difference between the buyer's benefit and the seller's cost. Two issues: Efficiency: a transaction should take place if and only if the buyer's benefit is not less than the seller's cost. Capture of surplus: how is the surplus (value created) divided between buyer and seller? An Experiment Six people will write their value of a candy bar on a 3x5 card (and their names). Three pairs will be formed at random. One player in each pair will be assigned to be the buyer and one the seller. Trade will take place under rules to be defined; however, the rules will prevent you from making or refusing a trade inconsistent with your stated value for the candy bar. Notes on Experiment Division of Surplus Buyer's power increasing b b b p p p c c c Seller's power increasing Profits Profits are revenue minus costs (economic costs, of course). Profits go up when revenue goes up or costs go down or both. Hence, profits a function of Total surplus Power of firm to capture surplus More power as seller (revenues go up) More power as an input buyer (costs go down) Traditional Industry Taxonomies Monopoly is when there is only one producer. Oligopoly is when there are only a few producers, each of whom can be expected to react to the actions of the others. A competitive market is one in which there are many producers, none of whom can be expected to react to the actions of the others. Porter Forces Model POTENTIAL ENTRANTS GOVERNMENT Threat of new entrants Government regulation, antitrust, and trade policies INDUSTRY COMPETITORS SUPPLIERS BUYERS Bargaining Bargaining power power of buyers of suppliers Rivalry among existing firms Threat of substitute goods Coordination and and services standardization COMPLEMENTS SUBSTITUTES & NETWORK Porter Industry competitors: The impact that the rivalry among existing firms has on a firm's competitive strategy. Potential entrants: The impact that potential entry by new firms has on a firm's strategy. Substitutes: The impact that substitute products have on a firm's competitive strategy. Porter Complements & networks: For some products, complements or network externalities (or both) have important effects on what its producer can do. Suppliers: The behavior of suppliers has an impact on strategy. Customers: The behavior of customers can have an impact on strategy. Porter Government: All firms operate in an environment affected by the laws, rules, and practices of government. Issues with Suppliers What is the bargaining power of suppliers? The more bargaining power they have, the more surplus they capture. The suppliers' bargaining power is a function of their market structure. The potential for vertical integration and being locked out. Vertical integration can be way to protect yourself against changes in supplier structure Vertical integration can sometimes increase the pie. The Issue with Customers Customers' bargaining power, which is a function of their costs of switching to competitors or substitute products the size of a single customer as a proportion of all your customers. market structure of customers (if you sell an intermediate good or service). Generally, like a competitive market downstream: a competitive market maximizes value and multitude of competitors shifts market power to you. The Main Issues with Competitors Loosely, more competitors mean customers have more choice; more choice means you have less market power; hence: competition sellers' share of surplus But also fierceness and discipline among competitors affects whether industry retains market power or it shifts to customers. "air service" experiment Electronic components Distributors don't Active component sellers do Coke & Pepsi Issues with Competitors Intensity of competition the more intense the competition, the lower profits will be. The number of competitors the more competitors there are, the lower profits will be if only because pie divided among more. Relative size of competitors large, dominant firm can often impose discipline similarly sized firms usually compete more fiercely. Rivalry among existing firms The dimensions along which firms compete and the fierceness of that competition. Firms compete on many dimensions. The most important of which is price. Why? Because its the dimension firms most want to avoid competing on. Going head-to-head on price is bad news for firms! – Recall the Bertrand Trap! The Fundamental Rule of Competitive Strategy Competitive strategy is like driving, not football: Head-on collisions are to be avoided. Key issue: Fierceness of price competition Homogeneity of Firm production product. More capacities. More homogenous, fiercer capacity, fiercer price comp. Number of firms. More, fiercer Customers' knowledge Frequency of interaction & of prices. More know, non-myopic play fiercer. Variability in demand. Customers' switching More variable, fiercer costs. Lower costs, "Barriers" to exit. More fiercer. barriers, fiercer The Issues with Potential Entrants If potential entrants enter, they are new competitors. Deterring potential entrants from entering is a strategic issue that affects your competitive strategy. Threat of Entry An entrant is a potential competitor Entry is bad because can result in more intense price pressure (lower margins) can result in smaller mkt. share even if prices not much affected or both! Principal issue: Is entry deterred? Can it be deterred? Inherent Barriers to Entry Protections on intellectual property Legal or regulatory restrictions High consumer switching costs High supplier switching costs Recouping industry-specific initial investments Text in red can also be strategic barriers to entry—a topic for later. Can sometimes leverage non-red items strategically to deter entry (also a topic for later). The Issue with Substitutes and Complements Pricing and availability of substitutes and complements affects demand for your product. Availability of complements affects competition among rivals (e.g., lack of software for OS/2 vs. abundance of software for Windows). As you saw in MBA 201A, demand for your product shifts with the prices of complements & substitutes. Substitute goods & services Recall what substitute goods are. D(psub = high) P example: air vs. rail D(psub = low) Issues w/ substitutes how close substitutes are Q level of price competition in substitute mkt. Complements & Networks Recall complementary goods (e.g., cars & gasoline) P D(pcomp = low) Strategic success can D(pcomp = high) depend on what happens in complementary market prices Q standards Network externalities Network Externalities An externality, recall, is an effect that one entity's action has on another that the first entity does not consider in deciding what action to take. Air pollution Painting your house Getting a telephone Getting a credit card Using a Linux-based computer Buying a DVD player The ones in red are network externalities. The last two (with 2 thumbs) exhibit positive & negative network externalities. Consequences of Network Externalities … on pricing Need to establish an installed base can require low introductory pricing Issues in how price to different parts of market for incentive reasons Who should pay for a phone call? How should fees be set for credit cards? … work directly with complements providers Encourage development Deal with ancillary concerns (e.g., IP) … effect on market structure Natural monopoly generation Standards An issue in many network industries is standards setting Proprietary standards affect market power Can create monopoly But can hinder growth, particularly if there's a standards war Common standards generally … … good for software producers … good for consumers (except for market power concerns) … mixed for hardware producers negative if fosters competition positive if foster software production positive if increase network size A "Seventh Force" The government antitrust law and its enforcement regulation infrastructure (complement) intellectual property law differences in these factors across governmental jurisdictions. trade policy lobbying competition

A pleasant week in Weston super Mare
... decide what to do. That doesn't always help as we seem to have four seasons in one hour over here. We have had some mostly nice days which has been good. Cheddar is a small touristy town not far from here with a pretty stream running through it. It had a lot of the usual gift shops. Naturally cheese was featured quite a bit and there was a cheese processing / tasting factory there. Very nice too. We also went to Cheddar Gorge just out of town which ...

Today we travelled back across the IrIsh Sea to Wales. It was a four hour journey on the Ferry but the trip was smooth. When we arrived in Cardiff we visited the Cardiff Castle. This is a very modern castle compared to others we have seen. It was restored in the 1800's by someone who made his money in coal and ...

We went to Cardiff Castle next, which was an amazing visit! We took a guided tour through some of the apartments in the castle, which were beautifully decorated and designed by William Burgess, who used many colors and gold inlay in his designs. Some of these rooms were magnificent and were hard to capture just how beautiful they really were! We were also able to walk around the grounds and up to the castle as well. When we were ...

Just a handy hint for any one heading over seas:
Dont ever loose your passport. Its a complete hassle, alot of money, alot of stress, and just plain frustrating.

Also, while it's a distinct possibility that we'll perform in front of them at some point, this is a meetup for *musicians* interested in Cuban music, not dancers.

Quinoa pancakes: Recipe
Leftover quinoa finds new life in pancakes.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Leftover quinoa finds new life in these nutty pancakes, adapted from Everyday Food magazine. For visual appeal, use a mix of white, black and red quinoa. These freeze well and can be reheated in the toaster.
Quinoa Pancakes
1 cup (250 mL) cooked, cold quinoa
3/4 cup (185 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 tbsp (15 mL) unsalted butter, melted, cooled + more for frying
1/4 cup (60 mL) milk
2 tbsp (30 mL) pure maple syrup
Warmed maple syrup for serving
In medium bowl, whisk together quinoa, flour, baking powder and salt.
In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 tbsp (15 mL) melted butter, milk and 2 tbsp (30 mL) maple syrup. Add to quinoa mixture. Whisk to combine.
Lightly coat large, non-stick skillet with butter. Heat over medium-high. Drop batter, scant 1/4 cup (60 mL) at a time, into skillet. Cook in batches until bubbles start to appear on top, about 2 minutes. Flip pancakes, pressing slightly with spatula to flatten. Cook until undersides are golden, about 2 minutes, reducing heat to medium if needed.
Serve pancakes with warmed maple syrup.
Makes about 8.

The exhibitions presented by the museum are intended to contribute to scholarship in art history and related disciplines and to offer insight into the artistic production of many different historical periods and cultures. In addition to ongoing displays from its permanent collection, the museum also presents a number of special exhibitions each year, covering a broad range of topics, as well as teaching exhibitions. Organized in conjunction with Dartmouth College courses, these exhibitions are intended to facilitate the curricular use of the museum's collections.
April 18 through August 2, 2015
Nigerian-born artist Victor Ekpuk is best known for his improvisational use of nsibidi, a form of writing with symbols associated with the powerful Ekpe men's association of southeastern Nigeria. Ekpuk's aesthetic engagement with nsibidi emerged during his fine art studies at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife, Nigeria, where students were encouraged to explore the logics of pattern and design in indigenous African art forms. His fascination with nsibidi during these years—its economy of line and encoded meanings—led to his broader explorations of drawing as writing, and to the invention of his own fluid letterforms. As a mature artist, Ekpuk has so internalized the rhythm and contours of his "script" that it flows from his hand like the outpouring of a personal archive.
This exhibition was organized by Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and curated by Allyson Purpura. It was partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency. The exhibition's presentation at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, was generously supported by the Leon C. 1927, Charles L. 1955, and Andrew J. 1984 Greenebaum Fund and the Cissy Patterson Fund.
April 18 through August 2, 2015
Ukara cloth symbolizes the power, wealth, and prestige of the Ekpe secret society, an interethnic all-male association, and the sacrality of Ekpe meeting lodges. Although commissioned and used by the Ekpe, located in the Cross River region at the border of southeastern Nigeria and western Cameroon, ukara is designed, sewn, and dyed by the Ezillo people in present-day Ebonyi State. The process of creating ukara cloth is laborious and involves many hands, but ultimately each cloth is highly individualized, clearly produced to be worn by a specific Ekpe person or to mark a particular Ekpe lodge. Nsibidi symbols, an ideographic and gestural system of communication, are dyed onto the cloth.

Water is essential to human life, shaping the geography of human settlement, modes of travel, and ease of trade. Too much water (flooding) or too little (drought) has wrought havoc in communities for millennia. This exhibition considers humans' relationship to water, from the architecture of socialization pictured in Edward Burtynsky's photograph of a stepwell in India to the dramatic effects of flooding shown in images of people in front of their homes from Gideon Mendel's series Drowning World. From quiet still lifes (David Goldes) to panoramic landscapes (Ian Teh), these photographs showcase the beauty and power of this miraculous, yet quotidian, substance.
This exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, and generously supported by the Harrington Gallery Fund.
This exhibition explores the Hood Museum of Art's extraordinary collection of African weapons for the first time. It focuses on the aesthetic quality of the objects, and on the ways in which they reflect notions of masculinity, warriorhood, and ideal male beauty in traditional African societies. Because the weapons are in a Western museum's collection, the exhibition also considers Western notions of masculinity, as represented in the collecting practices of those Christian missionaries, colonial administrators, military officers, big game hunters, and explorers who acquired most of these weapons in the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries. Although the exhibition draws from several cultures in the five sub-regions of Africa, it is not a broad survey of African weapons. Instead, it presents exemplary highlights from the Hood's extensive collection, categorized as "offensive" and "defensive" weapons.
This exhibition is organized by the Hood Museum of Art and generously supported by the William B. Jaffe and Evelyn A. Hall Fund.
At the entrance to the museum
A Space for Dialogue is a unique opportunity within Dartmouth's senior internship program, which includes museum positions in curatorial, public relations, and educational work. Interns choose objects from the Hood's permanent collection, write descriptions of the objects, design a space, create a brochure, and conduct a public gallery presentation. The program also allows students to develop art projects and displays within the Hood Museum of Art and on the Dartmouth College campus, creating "spaces for dialogue" between works of art and their viewers.
A Space for Dialogue, founded with support from the Class of 1948, is made possible with generous endowments from the Class of 1967, Bonnie and Richard Reiss Jr. '66, and Pamela J. Joyner '79.
Orozco Room, Baker Library, Dartmouth College
The Epic of American Civilization is an extensive mural cycle created by Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco between 1932 and 1934. The mural is composed of twenty-four distinct panels depicting the history of the Americas from the Aztec migration into Mexico to the industrialization of modern society. Located in the reserve corridor of Baker Library, now the Orozco Room, these scenes cover nearly 3,200 square feet of wall space. The Epic of American Civilization is not only one of Orozco's finest creations and one of Dartmouth's most treasured works of art but also rightfully placed among the most exemplary works of mural painting in the nation.

'I'll be your dad from now on': Softball coach 'had sex with his daughter's best friend, 14, and called her baby doll'
Kevin Jones is accused of having a sexual relationship with his daughter's best friend, 14
A high school softball coach accused of having a sexual relationship with his daughter's best friend when she was just 14-years-old called her baby doll, allowed her to call him daddy and threatened to beat up any boy she liked.
Kevin Jones, 34, of Falls Township, Pennsylvania, denies the charges, then when deputies obtained a warrant to search his home for evidence it burned to the ground just hours before, it was revealed today.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Fairless Hills Police Lt Henry Ward revealed there is a mountain of evidence against the coach including photographs of them posing together as well as more than a thousand emails, Facebook messages and texts , some of which are explicit.
'Mostly through various emails that were
going back and forth through the victim and Jones - a total of
1,400 - it was obvious that a sexual relationship had occurred between
the two,' he told CBS.
The criminal complaint states that the victim had a non-existent relationship with her father and Jones used this to his advantage, telling her: 'I'll be your dad from now on and I'll protect you like I'm your dad.'
The sexual abuse is believed to have started in June 2011, according to Levittown Patch.
Jones, a married father-of-two, was arrested on January 9 and charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse
with a minor, aggravated assault on a minor, statutory sexual assault,
indecent assault, corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a
The affidavit states that the couple would 'tell each other that they love each other hundreds of times, each of which is accentuated by graphics, and contains exaggerated language such as I love you more than anything else in life'.
He also said he was the only man she needs and threatened to kill any boy that she was interested in.
Jones coached for the Levittown American and Levittown Bulldogs girls softball teams, Lt Ward said and they fear there may be more victims.
The victim was in his softball team along with his daughter.
Rap sheet: The married father-of-two is charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a minor, aggravated assault on a minor, statutory sexual assault, indecent assault, corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a minor
Suspicious: Jones denies the charges and when deputies obtained a warrant to search his home for evidence it burned to the ground. The cause of the fire is still under investigation
The girl - who is now 15 - told investigators that things began with flirting, which then moved on to kissing and groping when he drove her home after she spent a night with his daughter.
Following that, they engaged in a consensual sexual relationship, which included oral, vaginal and anal sex, according to the complaint.
The victim told police the acts mostly occurred in the bed of Jones' Hoover Drive mobile home and no drugs or alcohol were involved. The affidavit says that Jones' children would be at home at the time of the alleged sex acts.
Jones denies all the charges and told police they would 'play fight' but that she was like a daughter to him.
Coach: The victim was on Jones' (pictured back center) softball team and was best friends with his daughter
He said he 'hugged and kissed' the victim in front of her mother and added they both often said they love each other, the affidavit said.
Fire officials said the cause of the fire remains under investigation. However, it appears the fire started with the dryer unit.

How far can employees go when firing off comments on the web on their own time? What if the employee is a public servant?
For Bernie Kieklak, chief of staff for state Sen. Lisa Boscola, the answer is pretty far. Kieklak was suspended without pay for posting an obscene rant on a political blog called "Lehigh Valley Ramblings." In it, Kieklak called U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent "a (expletive) bag," and Democratic congressional candidate Sam Bennett a "phony political whore who makes … cheap, blatant opportunists look like Mother (expletive) Teresa." He went on to make explicit sexual comments about Bennett. When a 23-year-old female blogger objected, he fired off a counterattack so foul it's unprintable.
Kieklak tendered his resignation shortly after, but Boscola granted a reprieve, saying he could return to his job after some counseling, possibly including anger management. Boscola herself might need some counseling in career management after that call.

Sometimes I do not have to speak the same language as my potential tenants as long as we have the universal language of sex in common. I had a friend help me out with the translation and Karmen was definitely interested in getting such a nice place for free. Her boyfriend was a little hesitant but who was he kidding. Any man would run, not walk, to shove his cock in Karmen and her tight little pussy. Not to mention such great big knockers. Karmen is a bonafide knockout.

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."
- Basil of Caesarea - ep. 243

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."
- Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 176
Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."
