China's buildup threatens Taiwan
WASHINGTON -- In a sobering new assessment, the Pentagon says China's military modernization threatens Taiwan and contradicts Beijing's stated desire for a peaceful resolution of the dispute over reunification.
"The Chinese doctrine is moving toward the goal of surprise, deception and shock effect in the opening phase of a campaign," the Pentagon asserted in a report to Congress submitted Friday.
"China is exploring coercive strategies designed to bring Taipei to terms quickly," it said.
One of the most troubling developments is China's buildup of short-range ballistic missiles in Fujian province, opposite Taiwan, the report said. They now total about 350 missiles and are gaining in accuracy and deadliness.
China also is developing variants of the mobile CSS-6 missile that would pose a threat to the Japanese island of Okinawa, where thousands of American forces are based, including those at Kadena Air Base, the report said.
More broadly, the Chinese military's increasing ability to exercise what the Pentagon calls coercive military options, including computer hacking and air and missile attacks, "presents challenges not only to Taiwan but also to other potential adversaries, such as the Philippines and Japan," it said.
Another problem area is China's recent acquisition of Russian-made submarines, which could be used to cut off Taiwan's sea lanes and to threaten American forces that might respond.
"The People's Republic of China's ambitious military modernization casts a cloud over its declared preference for resolving differences over Taiwan through peaceful means," the report said.
It said Beijing's main objective in any Taiwan crisis probably would be to compel the government in Taipei to settle on terms favorable to Beijing and to undertake military action quickly enough to preclude U.S. intervention.
"The specific coercive military strategy that Beijing would adopt is unclear and perhaps is the subject of extensive internal debate," the report said. "A coercive campaign may seek to deter or punish Taiwan through the sudden application of violence."

The snow started coming down hard a few hours after we'd arrived.
I'm writing one of my infrequent serious columns, because I realize there is more to Christmas than non-stop holly jolly mirth.
"You've worked for us for 10 years, Johnson, but I'm not sure how to grade you during this year's performance review."
Let's go deep for a second: What's the point of data?
Elizabeth Warren and plenty of media liberals are in a panic that the Omnibus bill, nicknamed "CRomnibus," is some sort of horrible right-wing Trojan Horse that will grind us all into domination by investment banks.
Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.
A poll released this week found 51 percent of Americans approve of the harsh interrogation tactics the CIA used immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
One of the most perverse consequences of the feverish backroom deals used to get Obamacare past the finish line was the funding formula for the law's Medicaid expansion, which started with the infamous Cornhusker Kickback, a sweetheart deal for Nebraska alone to get 100 percent federal funding for Medicaid expansion that was used to get then-Senator Ben Nelson's vote.
Can Elizabeth Warren, the progressive senator from Massachusetts, wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Hillary Clinton? Moreover, could she somehow leap an even higher hurdle and succeed Barack Obama?
The 2016 presidential campaign has barely started, and I'm already bored.
If you believe the recently released Senate Intelligence Committee torture report, you might be tempted to conclude that the CIA lied to the press and the public and to Congress about the extent and effectiveness of its torture campaign. And that conclusion would be correct, sir.
Would police have harassed Eric Garner or his wife if the government had no financial interest in the selling of taxed cigarettes?
Oil, like political punditry, is a commodity, traded freely on the open market and subject to the laws of supply and demand. The difference of course is that punditry enjoys an abundant and renewable supply, flows freely, and produces nothing of value. Oil, on the other hand, is actually important. The problem is that people think they are related.
The political class breathed a sigh of relief Saturday when the US Senate averted a government shutdown by passing the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill. This year's omnibus resembles omnibuses of Christmas past in that it was drafted in secret, was full of special interest deals and disguised spending increases, and was voted on before most members could read it.
Torture is illegal. Period. End of debate. There is no legal, moral or probable justification for torture. It's against the Bill of Rights; it's against the Geneva Convention; it's against United Nations Convention Against Torture (ratified by the U.S. in 1994); it's against every state statute from every modern constitutional democracy and every decent and encouraging proposal coming from humanity in the last century.

Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach volumes are mixed in September

Cargo activity at the nation's two largest ports— the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB)—were mixed in September.
POLB imports, which are primarily comprised of consumer goods, at 265,102 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) in September, were up 0.7 percent annually and were behind August's 274,977 TEU and ahead of July's 261,233 TEU. Exports, which are primarily comprised of raw materials, decreased 2.8 percent to 114,902 TEU. This was below August exports at 128,225 TEU and July's 124,574 TEU.
Total September volume at POLB at 512,020 TEU were down 2.9 percent annually. This includes 132,016 in empties which were down 9.4 percent. Total POLB volumes are down 4.4 percent on a year-to-date basis, due to economic weakness and cutbacks in ship calls by various niche operators at the end of 2011 and early 2012, said POLB.
Total September volumes at the Port of Los Angeles increased 5.57 percent to 744,923 TEU, which is ahead of August's 706,669 TEU and July's 698,847 TEU.
Imports rose 3.38 percent to 385,250 TEU, ahead of August's 376,189 TEU and July's 371,859 TEU. And September exports—at 172,432—were off 2.56 percent annually, which was ahead of August's 164,819 and July's 165,581 TEU.
Total loaded containers at POLA—at 557,683 TEU—were up 1.47 percent annually in September. And for the first nine months of the year, container volumes are up 5.16 percent at 6,188,172 TEU.
September marks the third straight month total POLA volumes have cracked the 700,000 TEU mark. POLA Director of Media Relations Philip Sanfield told LM that this could serve as a sign of a mini-surge but not a traditional one as has been the case in previous years.
"Imports are leading the way, while exports are slowing down somewhat," he said. "But the last two years of exports were record-breaking but are still in decent shape to match that output."
With import growth ostensibly in a healthy place, Sanfield said that were imports to approach the 400,000 TEU mark in November, it would represent stable volume growth and some type of a Peak Season.
The recently published Port Tracker report by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates stated that it expects October import volumes at a select group of U.S. ports, including POLA and POLB, to be up 9.9 percent.

Dear Sir,
There is increasing concern regarding the inherent hazard of blood transfusions, host–graft reactions and transfusion-related acute lung injury. Considering the increasing population age, the increased need for blood products when reaching older age, and an already chronic shortage of blood products today, the need for alternative techniques to blood transfusion, and for new blood substitutes or blood salvage techniques is becoming more and more pressing.1,2
The use of blood cell progenitor enhancers like exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) is extensively recognized, and in patients with appropriate medical follow-up, a relatively low rate of adverse effects has been reported.3 However, the price of such medications is very high and in some countries, their availability is limited.
A recently described phenomenon called the 'normobaric oxygen paradox' (NOP)4 may have clinical applications. The technique consists in a simple administration of high oxygen concentration to spontaneously breathing subjects. This has been shown to trigger a significant increase in endogenous EPO production. A few clinical applications have already been described, using NOP to increase hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in humans.
The suggested mechanism to explain this phenomenon lays deep into the fundamental cellular mechanism of apoptosis. This mechanism depends on oxygen-free radical availability. In the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the hypoxia-inducible factor alpha (HIF-1α) is continuously bound to von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHLp). This formed complex is subsequently ubiquitinized through the prolyl oxidase pathway and finally recycled in the proteasome. In case of limited availability or absence of ROS (such as in hypoxic situations), HIF-1α will not be linked to VHLp and thus can be bound to the HIF-1β dimer. This HIF complex will then induce a cascade of EPO gene expression and subsequently de novo EPO synthesis.
Raising the oxygen level inhaled by the patient (thereby increasing the presence of ROS in the cell) will increase the production of protective agents against ROS. This will be reflected by upregulation of glutathione synthetase activity (gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase). Production of reduced glutathione (GSH) and subsequently the rate of ROS 'scavenging' will increase. When hyperoxic ventilation stops, the increased amount of GSH, together with an ongoing reconversion of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to GSH, will produce a surplus of ROS scavenging. This phenomenon will persist a certain time after the oxygen concentration in the breathing mixture has been reduced, and will therefore mimic a 'hypoxic' situation with a reduced amount of ROS.5,6 This situation will, just as in a 'true' hypoxic situation, allow the binding of the HIF dimers and start EPO gene expression.
In a recent experiment (2008, Abyss Project) aimed at understanding human adaptation during a prolonged stay under mild hyperbaric conditions, six healthy humans lived for 14 days at a depth of 9 m breathing air. They were thus breathing a gas with an oxygen partial pressure equivalent to 40% O2 (pPO2 0.4 ATA).
The EPO levels in these volunteers decreased during the hyperbaric stay, but increased markedly and rose above control values 24 hours after the end of their hyperbaric stay. These observations indicate that NOP is still present even if the oxygen tension variation is less than what was previously reported.4 Indeed in 2006, Balestra et al. showed that a drop from 100% to 20% of oxygen in the breathing gas induced NOP in healthy volunteers. The present observation indicates that a drop from 40% to 20% appears to be sufficient to induce a significant increase in EPO levels 24 hours after the change in oxygen concentration.
NOP appears thus to be an efficient way to increase EPO. Clinical applications may lie not only in the field of cardioprotection or neuroprotection,7–9 where a single session would be sufficient, but also, by repeated sessions, to increase Hb levels without the need for exogenous EPO administration.
Only two case reports about the application of NOP in clinical situations are available. The first one, published by Burk,10 describes the application of normobaric oxygen breathing sessions for several days in a 42-year-old woman receiving chemotherapy after breast cancer [doxorubicin (Adriamycin) + cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) and paclitaxel (Taxol)]. She developed progressive anemia. No erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) were given, but at a nadir Hb of 8.8 g/dL, the patient was given oxygen 3 times a week by means of a nasal cannula for about 90 minutes. With a usual flow of 6–8 L/min, this is equivalent to approximately 40% of oxygen. After a few days, the Hb level started to rise. As the increase in Hb concentration after the nadir level might have been due to the natural course observed after chemotherapy, the author, after having reached a comfortable level of Hb (12 g/dL) stopped the oxygen administrations. After a few days, the Hb level dropped, and when the oxygen administrations were resumed, the Hb concentration increased again (Figure 1).
A 71-year-old woman suffering from myelofibrosis had to undergo an aortic valve repair. Due to religious concerns, she wanted to avoid the use of blood products during and after the procedure. She was therefore given darbepoetin alpha (Aranesp 300 µg) twice a month and intravenous iron therapy in order to increase the Hb level prior to surgery. In addition to that classical approach, 30 minutes of pure oxygen every other day was given by means of a demand valve mask. The Hb level increased in 60 days to a comfortable level of 13.5 g/dL. The patient was feeling very well and decided to take a two-week vacation to rest before surgery. The whole treatment was maintained except for the oxygen administration. Upon her return, the level of Hb had dropped to 12.5 g/dL; after resuming oxygen breathing, it increased again (Figure 1).
A higher speed of Hb response is seen for the patient with both strategies (adjuvant drugs and O2 breathing). Nevertheless, the speed of Hb increase in both patients is compatible with the usual rise observed in patients under ESAs (erythroid-stimulating agents) without reduced bone marrow activity.11–13 In the two cases reported by us and by Burk, the efficiency of NOP on Hb increase was unexpected.
Plotting the two patients' data on a single regression line graph (with Hb increase on the y-axis and days of treatment on the x-axis) shows that the absolute Hb increase (0.05 g/dL per day of treatment) is similar for both treatment strategies (y = 0.05x + 9.4; r2 = 0.79; P < 0.0001). Other treatment strategies may be evaluated for efficacy using a similar approach.
These two cases showed a marked and steady increase of Hb levels using different approaches. It seems that a negative delta PO2, i.e. a 'relative hypoxia' from 40% to 20%, is as effective as a delta PO2 of 100% to 20% to induce NOP. Likewise, a pattern of oxygen breathing every other day or three times per week showed to be a similarly potent erythropoietic stimulus.
We propose new clinical applications of NOP that can take two different directions. A low number of O2 breathing sessions, even one, seems to be sufficient4 to increase the circulating endogenous EPO level for neuroprotective and cardioprotective effect prior to surgery. Increasing the number of sessions to 2–3 times per week for 30–90 minutes of O2 breathing at a concentration varying from 40% to 100% for several weeks seems to increase the Hb level of some patients. We would encourage more clinical investigations to determine the optimal use of the normobaric oxygen paradox.

US: Gay solider Bradley Manning's legal team to focus on delays at hearing
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
she was looking for treatment for gender issues before arrest – please respect that.
Wow! How did you get 10 thumbs down for stating the truth? Is this a case of trans-erasure or what? SHE appears to be trans whether the folks here like it or not.
nice to know people care so much…
Being gay or trans has no effect on this case what so ever. He is accused of treason and if found guilty punished to the fullest extent o the law. Things are secret for a reason and he knew that. When he enlisted he signed the US version of the Official Secrets Act so if he passed the documents on (I believe he did) he broke the law end of story. He is not a hero at all but coward for betraying his country
she not he. we're not discussing the case here but the way even the gay press ignore their gender identity
Has Manning transitioned and living as female? I can see no mentioned in any of the reports that he has transitioned all I have seen is that he has 'struggled with his gender identity'. I'm trans and ex british Army myself so I know what it is like but I would have never committed treason.
Whether Mannng is gay or trans doesn't even matter. It is the crime they are accused of that is the thing here. What i see is a soldier who betrayed their country and put fellow soldiers and airmen's lives in danger. Does it matter on the sexual orientation or gender identity of Manning? Of course it doesn't it is the crime that they are accused of that is the thing ie disclosing classified information to an unauthorised source. The pre trail hearing has decided that there is enough evidence to go to a full Courts Martial. If found guilty manning should have the book thrown at him.
Moron, people are born transsexual, they don't "become" transsexual. Had her command listened to her maybe she would be transitioned by now, but they didn't.
I know people are born transsexual as I am trans myself you imbecial. But there is no evidence what so ever that Manning has transitioned or is even thinking of transitioning. For the female pronouns to be used the person has to have transitioned from male to female. Show me the evidence that Manning has transitioned. But Mannings gender identity or sexual orientation has no bearing on this case at all. It is a case or disclosing secrets to sources not allowe to have them ie treason. There is no excuse for committing treason
no, you use female or male pronouns when they are trans not when they have gone through a process determined by 'our betters'
Does it really matter. Quit the moral vanity.
Sure, of course things are secret for a reason: The guys who violated our own rules of engagement by giving the order to shoot in the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike didn't want to be tried and convicted for their war crimes. That's the reason.
and what happens if the prosecution case falls thru, Think how much compensation they will have to pay for 3 years of unlawful detainment.
Trans-ersaure by Pink News and some of the commentators here. Pvt Manning had asked command for help for gender issues and was rebuffed. Part of Pvt Manning defense as presented by the defense team is Manning's gender issues. Thus is it is inaccurate to advetize Pvt Manning as a gay man because it appears that SHE is probably a transexual woman. Now let's see how many thumbs down I get for speaking the truth.
well i gave you a thumbs up
rLOIiM Fantastic article.Thanks Again. Really Great.

Bankruptcy saga, labor talks leave MLB's Rob Manfred with little down time
Published July 11, 2011, Page 6
The league's point person for more than a year on the Los Angeles Dodgers saga, Manfred in recent weeks has seen that battle explode into a bitter fight in federal bankruptcy court over the future of the team.
Manfred is managing two of baseball's most pressing and complex issues.
When Commissioner Bud Selig opted not to replace MLB's president and chief operating officer, Bob DuPuy, after his departure last fall, Manfred became an even more important figure at the league. But Manfred last week played down his status managing two of baseball's most pressing and complex issues.
"I'm doing fine. Everybody seems to be worried about me and asking about my schedule," Manfred said. "But I don't think the Dodgers activity has affected the labor negotiations."
Both Manfred and Michael Weiner, MLBPA executive director, declined to characterize the status of the labor talks, adhering to an agreement between the league and union not to discuss the negotiations publicly. The two sides have been meeting regularly since the early spring, including a session last Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
The current five-year accord expires in December.

Founded in 1937, Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget (Swedish Airplane Inc.) would eventually spin off the iconic car brand, Saab. That carmaker now seems to have reached the end of the road.
Saab's current owner, Swedish Automotive, announced Monday it was ending efforts to save the company. The automaker's ultimate fate will be decided by a court-appointed receiver.
In a sense, it's amazing that Saab lasted as long as it did. GM had announced it was winding down its then-subsidiary in 2009 after talks with Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg fell through. But a Dutch supercar company, Spyker, came in at the last minute with a new financing deal. (Spyker later changed its name to Swedish Automotive.)
Spyker's best efforts ultimately weren't enough to save the struggling brand. While there remains some possibility Saab will come out of bankruptcy and live again, chances seem remote.
Here's a look at some of the more interesting models to come out of Saab factories over the years.
The competition was fierce in the race to be last. Surprise - the car at the bottom of the heap wasn't from Detroit.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) has restored more than 907,981 customer outages since one of the largest winter storms in the past decade hit the Carolinas on Wednesday. The multi-day weather event consisted of snow, ice and high winds.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130322/CL81938LOGO )
More than 6,200 resources supported restoration efforts. These resources included 3,900 line and tree personnel, including employees and contractors from the company's Midwest and Florida operations.
While outages occurred across North Carolina and South Carolina, the hardest hit areas included the towns of Whiteville and Wilmington, N.C., and Marion, Kingstree and Florence, S.C.
In order to restore many of these outages, work such as clearing trees, replacing poles, restringing power lines and replacing transformers were required, which took a considerable amount of time to complete.
"Our crews have been working diligently to restore power as safely and quickly as possible, despite adverse weather and road conditions," said Brett Carter, senior vice president and chief distribution officer. "We're deeply grateful for the patience of hundreds of thousands of our customers as they grappled with the effects of the worst winter storm the Carolinas have seen in a decade."
While the majority of winter storm outages are repaired, several hundred power outages in the Marion/Kingstree areas remain due to extensive damage. Power will be restored to these customers late today.
Additionally, scattered outages may remain for customers who have meter base damage. These customers should contact a licensed electrician to make repairs, and then call Duke Energy to get power restored.

America's Cup
Dean Barker wasn't too worried from where he was standing. He did feel for Glenn Ashby, Adam Beashel and Winston Macfarlane hanging precariously about 10m above him in the other hull. And it did cross his mind that boss Grant Dalton mightn't like the view from his position in the chase boat.
But sailing instincts clicked into skipper Barker and his Team New Zealand crew to not only save their beloved Aoetearoa, but also their America's Cup campaign that was on a knife-edge yesterday as they came within "half a degree" of capsizing.
A mistimed tack in a torrid duel with Oracle saw their usually precise co-ordination desert them. The cost of the mistake was a race loss when it could have been much more.
"I was thinking this isn't going to be too hard to exit from here … I was on the right side. But I was sparing a thought for the guys on the other side who were a long way up," Barker said of any escape plans.
When it was raised that Grant Dalton's absence through crew rotation had resulted in another loss, Barker chuckled, suggesting the CEO might have felt better to be involved in the on-board emergency than excused from the scoreboard blow.
"I'm sure it was harder for him watching in the chase boat, to be honest."
Barker thanked watching Kiwis for lending their mental weight to right the giant cat, too: "We needed all the help we could get."
Race graphics showed the boat titled at 44.5 degrees. Barker said he wasn't sure what the tipping point was, "maybe half a degree more".
"It's really in the hand of the gods then. We know we were about as lucky as we possibly could be. It could have been on its side and that would have had a pretty serious impact on our campaign. We are very thankful to have the boat back in one piece."
Tactician Ray Davies believed no one considered diving off. It was all about "saving the boat till the mast tip was in the water".
"We all had little jobs to play at that point and we managed to do them. It was a pretty precarious moment, but we did the right thing in that couple of seconds to salvage the capsize and get the boat back into the wind," Davies said.
That was definitely a hairy moment. At lest it would have been a very soft landing, not like some of the landings we have seen in other ptichpoles (of Oracle and Artemis Racing). But absolutely it could have been a hairy moment the whole campaign."
Barker said they had a plan in place for righting the boat in a capsize, involving the chaseboats. But it was untried and unproven and that's the way he wants to keep it, especially with their backup boat decidedly inferior to Oracle who have now wiped out their two-point penalty with this second win..
"A lot would still depend on how you get the boat up … there is no guarantee that it would come up in one piece."

Still counting the cost of the Rana Plaza collapse
Relatives struggle to rebuild lives; lessons from tragedy still need learning
Morium Bibi has been struggling to survive since the Rana Plaza textile complex collapse
ucanews.com reporter, Dhaka
September 11, 2013
The collapse of the Rana Plaza textile complex in April did not just kill 1,132 garment workers and injure thousands; it also changed the lives of countless family members of the victims.
Four months after one of the world's worst industrial disasters, families are still waiting for adequate, and in some cases any, compensation.
Honufa Begum, 65, has been forced to become a domestic helper to feed herself. She had no one to turn to after her daughter Sakhina Begum, 25, a cutting helper, went missing after the tragic accident.
Sakhina used to earn just 6,000 taka (US$77) per month, barely enough to sustain her and her mother in their shanty abode behind the Rana Plaza building.
"My daughter was everything to me -- my hope for my old age. She didn't earn enough, but was still happy that she was able to support us," Honufa said.
"I often ask Allah why she had to die so young and why I cannot find her body so I could at least arrange a proper burial."
Sakhina is one of 261 people officially missing and presumably among the 300 or so unidentified bodies buried weeks after the disaster that still await identification through DNA testing.
Honufa received no compensation from the government or the factory owners. A local volunteer group donated 16,000 taka, the only piece of substantial support so far.
Morium Bibi, 23, another garment worker at Rana Plaza, is now a widow with a nine-month-old daughter. The accident took the life of her husband, but she survived because she was sick and at home at the time.
"My parents-in-law are old and totally depended on our income. We used to work together, while they used to look after the baby," says Morium. The family has received about US$1,250 in government assistance so far.
She says since the tragedy she has not wanted to return to work in a garment factory. The problem however is she does not have any other skills.
"I don't know how I will manage to bring up my daughter. If I had more support from the government I could start a small business such as opening a shop," she said.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina promised to provide the relatives of those who died about US$1,250 in cash and US$19,000 in a savings scheme, amounts equal to and higher than the roughly US$1,250 that factory owners are legally required to pay. But relatives say this is far from sufficient considering most victims were young men and women who had a whole lifetime ahead of them.
Money was supposed to come from the government, from private donations and factory owners and major international retailers such as C&A and Primark.
However, the government so far has provided sums ranging from US$1,250 to US$5,000 to about 777 families, according to Solidarity Center, a Washington-based labor rights group.
The main compensation package has been delayed because of a retailers' meeting, said Jaglul Hayder, an official from the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, the main trade body.
"A meeting of retailers was supposed to have been held in Geneva in August, but was postponed. It will take place this month and finalize compensation for the victims," Hayder said.
Besides compensation, moves to boost safety in factories are slow in coming.
Bangladesh pledged to boost worker rights and recruit more safety inspectors after the European Union, which gives preferential access to Bangladeshi garments, threatened punitive measures, while the US ended trade benefits for Bangladesh in June.
Five different Bangladesh agencies have sent teams to inspect the estimated 5,000 factories that make up the country's $20 billion garment industry.
Because of a lack of coordination between the agencies, senior government officials are unable to say how many factories have been checked. The numbers vary from 100 to 400.
US and European retailers, the major buyers of Bangladesh's garment products, hoped the inspections would be completed in nine to 12 months. Inspectors and government officials say it will take at least five years, largely because the country has fewer than 200 qualified inspectors.
Babul Akhter, a labor leader in Dhaka, says the Rana Plaza collapse will not be a wake-up call and will unlikely change the lives of garment workers for the better.
"In a country where workers are considered profit making machines by factory owners and the government often takes the side of the owners, we can't expect good things for garment workers despite a massive disaster like Rana Plaza," Akhter said.
"Workers must be seen as human beings and the government must play its role properly."
