Will China follow America's path?
News last week that Britain's government plans to speed up visas for Chinese nationals is a reminder of the growing importance of the world's second largest economy to Britain.
"The message will go out in China that we want people to come and do business here," The Telegraph reported a cabinet source saying, before noting that the red tape associated with processing Chinese visas costs the U.K. economy $1.8 billion a year.
Yet though the economic opportunities are ripe, a telling anecdote from a few years back underscores some of the challenges Britain and others face in coping with China's rapid ascent.
In November 2010, a British government delegation to China was faced with a classic diplomatic dilemma. It was a few days before Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the armistice that brought World War I to an end. During this period, Britons wear paper poppies as symbols of recognition of those who laid down their lives in service of their country in the poppy fields of Northern Europe, and by extension of all those who have since served in the armed forces.
But for China, the poppy is a symbol of the Opium Wars of the 19th century, and thus its national humiliation at the hands of Britain and other European powers. The prime minister and other senior members of the government were therefore asked by Chinese officials to remove the poppies from their lapels. The British delegation politely refused.
A little further back, in the 1990s, I was faced as foreign secretary with an even more awkward diplomatic issue -- how to handle ties with the Dalai Lama. I chose, as did Prime Minister David Cameron last year, to resist pressure from Chinese officials (and from some on my own side) not to meet the Dalai Lama. Like Cameron, we offered a compromise in light of Chinese concerns, specifically that we would not meet him on government property. The Chinese protested, but there were no immediate consequences for our bilateral relations.
These episodes illustrate the sensitive nature of the decisions that other countries must sometimes make when balancing efforts to boost relations with China with ensuring that they still also stand up for the values they believe in. But in Britain's case in particular, the poppy episode is a reminder of just how different the relative strength of the two countries is from when those two wars I mentioned were fought.
China is of course much stronger now than it was when I was foreign secretary, but British leaders and officials must still bear in mind that the trade-off between economic and trade considerations on the one hand, and human rights concerns on the other, is not as straightforward as some would like to portray it.
Any government's primary responsibility is the pursuit of the prosperity, security and freedom of its own citizens. Boycotting all countries who have questionable rights records is not only not in our interest, but ensures that we have no relationship, and therefore few channels through which to influence and encourage countries such as China to enact reforms that are in everyone's best interests.
The most fundamental reform that must take place in China today is meaningful changes that respect the rule of law. I remember discussing this very issue with my Chinese counterpart as secretary of state for foreign affairs, and I was assured that China did indeed believe in the rule of law. In China, I was told, all people must obey the law.
But this was missing the point -- it is not just citizens, but governments who must be subject to the laws of the land, as interpreted by an independent judiciary, if justice is to be served. The Chinese model has brought great progress, but it is questionable how sustainable this progress will be. Note, for example, that China already spends more on internal security than it does on national defense. A Chinese commitment to the rule of law at both the national and international levels would ensure the rights of Chinese citizens, would give confidence to foreign investors, and ultimately boost global stability.
We cannot compel China to do so. Britain in the 19th century was able to impose its will on much of the world by force. It spoke the language of free trade (and sometimes even believed it), but the gunboats were always available to convince those who did not share such a commitment, as China found out to its cost.
Britain in the 21st century is a very different place. It is by no means as puny as some delight in suggesting: it still has the world's 4th largest military budget, the 7th largest economy, and is a member of the U.N. Security Council and G-8. But its influence now depends more on leveraging its membership of numerous multilateral military, political and economic institutions to convince others to commit to a global rules-based order that is in everyone's interest, not just our own.
As China rises, it must confront a similar choice to that which the United States confronted upon its rise to super power status after World War II. Back then, America chose to lead the construction of international institutions that have outlived the Cold War, and indeed will survive any foreign policy mistakes it may have made along the way.
China's relationship with the United States is, rightly, considered to be the most important bilateral relationship in the world. However the United States is still far richer than China, has a vastly superior military, and a wholehearted commitment to its role as a key security actor in East Asia. In addition, the two countries are bound tightly together by a structural economic interdependence. It is therefore how China treats its neighbors, rather than the U.S. or indeed Britain, over the next few years that will likely tell us far more about the path down which China's leaders wish to take their country.

Ah. A classic question. "Where's the last gig?" Answer: It will appear. Sooner or later. I appear to have got it sooner by always agreeing to play whatever set the game suggests. You know, after you play one gig, the manager tells you that you should play this or that setlist. By always agreeing with him, it seems like it's more probable that the final gig will appear. But others have had to play a LOT of gigs before it has opened up to them. So keep on playing, thats really the only good advice you will find.

I missed Monkey Day.
Yesterday was International Monkey Day, the one day each year that we celebrate all things simian.
But I got distracted by work and travel and missed all the monkey business.
No monkey t-shirts. No monkey jokes. No monkey e-cards (always funny, always appropriate).
Funny thing — people always accuse Hallmark Cards of 'creating' holidays. Although there's no proof of it, I wouldn't be surprised if they are behind Monkey Day. Goodness knows the monkey has been good to them. Put a monkey on a humor card, and it always sells.
'Cause monkeys are funny. I mean, just look at that face. Dude deserves his own day.
(Hope it was happy.)

Fed's Fisher Changed Vote on Crisis Rates Over Lunch
By John Carney, Senior Editor, CNBC.com
NEW YORK (CNBC) -- Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher initially provided the only "No" vote on a motion before the Federal Open Market Committee at the height of the financial crisis--only to reverse his vote after an unrecorded lunch break, according to a heavily redacted transcript of Fed documents released Monday afternoon.
The vote took place during the first day of a two-day meeting of the FOMC on December 15 and 16. The subject of the vote is not revealed by the minutes released by the Fed. A large passage of the discussion prior to the vote is redacted.
The next day, however, the Fed announced a target range for the federal funds rate of 0 to 0.25%.
Immediately following the mystery vote, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke requested a break for lunch.
Upon returning from lunch, Bernanke announced that Fisher had changed his mind.
"On consideration, in order to maintain a united front with the Committee, President Fisher changed his vote to vote 'yes' on the resolution," Bernanke said, according to the transcript.
The lunch time discussions were not recorded, so it is not clear what discussions prompted Fisher to change his mind to support a "united front."

Energy Transport and the Amplitude of a Wave
As mentioned earlier, a wave is an energy transport phenomenon that transports energy along a medium without transporting matter. A pulse or a wave is introduced into a slinky when a person holds the first coil and gives it a back-and-forth motion. This creates a disturbance within the medium; this disturbance subsequently travels from coil to coil, transporting energy as it moves. The energy is imparted to the medium by the person as he/she does work upon the first coil to give it kinetic energy. This energy is transferred from coil to coil until it arrives at the end of the slinky. If you were holding the opposite end of the slinky, then you would feel the energy as it reaches your end. In fact, a high energy pulse would likely do some rather noticeable work upon your hand upon reaching the end of the medium; the last coil of the medium would displace you hand in the same direction of motion of the coil. For the same reasons, a high energy ocean wave can do considerable damage to the rocks and piers along the shoreline when it crashes upon it.
The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave. A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude. As discussed earlier in Lesson 2, the amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. The logic underlying the energy-amplitude relationship is as follows: If a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction and a transverse pulse is introduced into the slinky, the first coil is given an initial amount of displacement. The displacement is due to the force applied by the person upon the coil to displace it a given amount from rest. The more energy that the person puts into the pulse, the more work that he/she will do upon the first coil. The more work that is done upon the first coil, the more displacement that is given to it. The more displacement that is given to the first coil, the more amplitude that it will have. So in the end, the amplitude of a transverse pulse is related to the energy which that pulse transports through the medium. Putting a lot of energy into a transverse pulse will not affect the wavelength, the frequency or the speed of the pulse. The energy imparted to a pulse will only affect the amplitude of that pulse.
Consider two identical slinkies into which a pulse is introduced. If the same amount of energy is introduced into each slinky, then each pulse will have the same amplitude. But what if the slinkies are different? What if one is made of zinc and the other is made of copper? Will the amplitudes now be the same or different? If a pulse is introduced into two different slinkies by imparting the same amount of energy, then the amplitudes of the pulses will not necessarily be the same. In a situation such as this, the actual amplitude assumed by the pulse is dependent upon two types of factors: an inertial factor and an elastic factor. Two different materials have different mass densities. The imparting of energy to the first coil of a slinky is done by the application of a force to this coil. More massive slinkies have a greater inertia and thus tend to resist the force; this increased resistance by the greater mass tends to cause a reduction in the amplitude of the pulse. Different materials also have differing degrees of springiness or elasticity. A more elastic medium will tend to offer less resistance to the force and allow a greater amplitude pulse to travel through it; being less rigid (and therefore more elastic), the same force causes a greater amplitude.
The energy transported by a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave. This energy-amplitude relationship is sometimes expressed in the following manner.
This means that a doubling of the amplitude of a wave is indicative of a quadrupling of the energy transported by the wave. A tripling of the amplitude of a wave is indicative of a nine-fold increase in the amount of energy transported by the wave. And a quadrupling of the amplitude of a wave is indicative of a 16-fold increase in the amount of energy transported by the wave. The table at the right further expresses this energy-amplitude relationship. Observe that whenever the amplitude increased by a given factor, the energy value is increased by the same factor squared. For example, changing the amplitude from 1 unit to 2 units represents a 2-fold increase in the amplitude and is accompanied by a 4-fold (22) increase in the energy; thus 2 units of energy becomes 4 times bigger - 8 units. As another example, changing the amplitude from 1 unit to 4 units represents a 4-fold increase in the amplitude and is accompanied by a 16-fold (42) increase in the energy; thus 2 units of energy becomes 16 times bigger - 32 units.
Earthquakes and other geologic disturbances sometimes result in the formation of seismic waves. Seismic waves are waves of energy that are transported through the earth and over its surface. Earthquakes are given a Richter scale rating that indicates how intense the earthquake is. Use the Earthquake Energy widget below to explore the relationship between the Richter scale magnitude and the amount of energy transmitted by seismic waves.

I was on the New Yorker website when I came across this article:
and I honestly can't tell whether Reince Preibus is being snarky or serious in the comments he made. The first quote sounds like he could just be expressing disdain for the pandering his party has done over the past four years to candidates and voters who represent the fringe position, but as he goes on, repeating phrases like 'the math-and-science lifestyle', I start to suspect that he's serious. I don't doubt that he is a rational person, probably 'believes in math and science' himself, and that he's being politically correct in his approach to this; what shocks me is the implicit legitimization of the ridiculous head-in-the-sand circus show that the extreme wing of his party has become. He's seemingly saying that this has been an acceptable position for some period of time, and he's not even rejecting it outright here, just saying that perhaps it's time to start opening up to other points of view. So the question is: are Republicans really so insulated by their own rhetoric and made-up versions of reality that this kind of pandering from Preibus sounds like some sort of rational, if unwelcome, appeal?
Delusional disorder is impervious to logic and rationality.
Borowitz is a satirist. I can't blame you for your confusion, though.
Heh, I guess I should have read to the part where he quotes Mr. Preibus on women making up 51% of the population before going on a TA rant. Hopefully I would have got it by then.

SOURCE The Conference Board
- This month's rise is the largest monthly increase in 2013
- September gains are widespread and include large states such as California, Texas and Massachusetts, as well as smaller states such as Nebraska and West Virginia
NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Online advertised vacancies were up 209,700 in September to 5,184,600, according to The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine® (HWOL) Data Series released today. The September rise is the first rise of over 200,000 since December 2012. The September Supply/Demand rate stands at 2.3 unemployed for each vacancy with a total of 6.3 million more unemployed workers than the number of advertised vacancies.
"The 210,000 gain for September is the first optimistic sign this year that employers are seeking additional workers," said June Shelp, Vice President of The Conference Board. This brings the gain for Q3 to 68,000/month and follows a Q2 gain of 27,000/month and a Q1 loss of 26,000/month.
The national gains resulted from a mixture of gains that outnumbered the losses. The largest September gain was for food service workers, up 45,000, or 20 percent – a welcome increase since there are still four unemployed in this occupation for every available opening. The number of ads for management positions also rose by 24,700, in part due to greater demand for food service managers. Demand for transportation workers also rose by 20,800 as employers advertised for truck drivers. Occupations with declines in September included legal workers (-6,200) as demand for lawyers and legal support decreased. Office occupations also declined (-5,400) with less employer demand for secretaries and information clerks.

Nobel Peace Prize Winners
When Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel died in 1896, he left his fortune to create an annual series of prizes for the individuals who confer "the greatest benefit on mankind." The most prestigious of the awards is the Nobel Peace Prize. Historians believe Alfred Nobel wanted to award people who work for peace to compensate for his own role in inventing dynamite. Since its establishment, the prize has gone to many courageous individuals who have fought for peace and human rights around the world.

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were the most famous gangster couple in history, made more so by the 1967 Oscar-winning film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. From 1932 to 1934, during the height of the Great Depression, their gang evolved from petty theives to nationally-known bank robbers and murderers. Though a burgeoning yellow press romanticized their exploits, the gang was believed responsible for at least 13 murders, including two policemen, as well as several robberies and kidnappings. The spree ended when they were betrayed by a friend and shot dead at a police roadblock in Louisiana on May 23, 1934.

JPMorgan hiring in China being investigated
SEC examining hires from prominent Chinese families, Times reports
Authorities are investigating whether JPMorgan Chase's Chinese offices hired young workers from prominent Chinese families that in turn offered the bank business.
The bank made a passing reference to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation in its quarterly filing earlier this month, and The New York Times fanned the fire by reporting on a confidential U.S. government document that went into greater detail.
The document showed that the SEC is looking into the hiring of several well-connected young JPMorgan employees, including the son of the former vice chairman of China's top banking regulator and the daughter of a Chinese railway official, according to the Times.
While the document doesn't accuse the bank of any wrongdoing and does not suggest that the employees weren't qualified to hold the positions they were hired for, the Times said that it sheds light on hiring practices.
A JPMorgan spokeswoman said that the bank is fully cooperating with regulators, and that it disclosed the matter in its quarterly filing earlier this month.
The filing noted that the SEC was seeking information and documents relating to its "employment of certain former employees in Hong Kong and its business relationships with certain clients.
The news comes just days after two former JPMorgan bankers were charged with conspiring to conceal more than $500 million in losses related to the bank's ill-fated "London Whale" trade.
The criminal charges are the first to be filed in connection with the losses. They include wire fraud, falsifying books, records and Securities and Exchange Commission filings, and conspiracy.
